Arild Tveiten the Triathlon Norway Head Coach sits down with Joel to discuss all things triathlon and high performance, from the rise of Norway as a triathlon power, to testing, organization of sessions, altitude, season planning, the 70.3 world best time, Tokyo 2020 and more.
Show Notes: http://joelfilliol.com/podcast/2019/1/21/arild-tveiten-norway-head-coach
The Real Coaching Podcast returns, with Joel answering questions on training, racing, performance, squad dynamics and more following the Gold Coast ITU Grand Final where the JFTcrew men went 1-2-3 in the WTS podium, and Katie Zaferes took silver for the women.
Show notes: https://joelfilliol.com/podcast/2019/1/17/17-questions-and-answers
The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games may change to a sprint format combined with a mixed team relay: we discuss the background, history, racing and training implications. Lab testing season for triathletes is here, and we break down this trend, and why this doesn't move athletes performance forward. The marginalization of coaches, over-promising and under-delivering of sport science. Decision making and why this is the key to real coaching effectiveness. We address questions on high load training camps, what to do about illness, elite vs age group training, HIIT blocks, marginal gains, and nutrition questions from fasted training, supplements, protein and recovery drinks.
Show Notes: http://joelfilliol.com/podcast/2016/11/15/sprinting-towards-tokyo
Training needs in terms of importance are discussed, from total frequency and volume of training, to high intensity, to training distribution, to periodisation and tapering. We discuss Vicky Holland's interview, comparing and contrasting her training with Darren Smith and the Leeds Triathlon centre, the polarized approach, historical trends of planning and intensity distribution. Follow up questions are addressed including running economy, drills, and tips, run analytics, maintaining endurance fitness between events, structuring a season for both early season and late season races, and whether training gear can affect injuries. The Island House and final ITU World Cups are discussed along with development pathways.
Kona analysis including Frodeno vs Keinle, Ryf vs the clock, front pack dynamics, drafting, penalties, which pros should race Kona, and why we need smaller fields for better racing. We breakdown Triathlon New Zealand, and the resignation of the HPD, the history of success in New Zealand and the challenge of re-building the culture there. Back on the ever green doping topic, we discuss the ongoing TUE saga, and motor doping. Finally planning training for the future and reviewing the past, what went well, what didn't and how we'll take these points forward in future episodes.
The importance of Kona for triathlon, and the professional circuit, prize money, progression of the sport. Salinas ITU World cup, and development of runners into triathletes. High Performance funding and organisation, how "athlete-centered, coach driven" has become jargon and not reality. Key run sessions, organising run training, minimal effective dose, healthy training load and what causes injuries and how to avoid falling into inconsistency.
The ITU WTS end of season races are reviewed including WTS Edmonton, the Grand Final in Cozumel, including the conditions, the tactics, the Brownlee drama and how the World Champions were decided. The 70.3 World Champs including the dominance by Holly Lawrence, the controversy around motor-pacing, entourages and transparency, are discussed along with the Fancy Bears WADA hack and TUE abuse and whether TUEs should be public.
Olympic Games Triathlon review: Joel and Paulo are back, talking about the selection process, what went right, and what went wrong, the Mens and Womens Triathlon in Rio, followed by the doping and corruption scandals from WADA, the IOC and Russian team.
Joel and Paulo debate discuss how scientific knowledge directly impacts on current training methods with our athletes, including what are scientific certainties, practical implications of research, and specific methods including strength training, plyometrics, massage & physiotherapy, anti-inflammatories, fasted training and HRV monitoring.
Joel interviews Michael Krüger, former Danish National Team Coach, and coach to international top performers over many years, discussing why Denmark has produced so many strong triathletes, Ironman vs ITU coaching, when pros should race Kona, and National Federations supporting Ironman athletes. Joel and Paulo discussion repetition as a training concept, running power meters, and why many young athletes develop injuries.
Joel and Paulo debate elements of a successful program, both from the basis of national federations, squad and club environments, and culture and environment. In follow up, we revisit the target of the podcast, squad sustainability, USRPT, a Kiwi going for Rio, Polarised training and Session RPE.
Joel interviews real coach Louis Delahaije, Performance Manger for the Lotto Jumbo cycling team, discussing his background, path from triathlon to cycling, contrasts between coaching environments, polarised training and more. Joel and Paulo discuss athlete monitoring and the session RPE model, plus a bonus swimming segment after the interview.
Simon Whitfield talks about his career, the emergence of the Brownlees, what he learned, and the perspective he has gained on the process that led to four Olympic Games and two Medals. Joel and Paulo answer follow up questions on swim myth busting, USRPT, and swim tools.
Joel and Paulo talk WADA, doping cover ups and dodgy labs, and answer follow up questions on Polarized Training. The main topic is swim training for triathletes, what works from our experiences, how to use swim tools and why, and how our views have changed since Joel published the Top 20 Swim Tips article back in 2012.
Joel interviews Dan Lorang, German National Coach and personal coach to current Ironman World Champion Jan Frodeno. Topics include Dan's pathway into elite coaching, key moments in his development, his role with the ITU national team, differences between ITU and Ironman preparation, and how he started to work with Jan, and developed their plan to win Kona in 2015. Paulo and Joel review key points from the interview and discuss the Island House Triathlon in the Bahamas.
Polarized Training, what it is and isn't, strengths and weaknesses, and take aways for athletes and coaches, plus feedback and questions about elite coach pathways, triathlon coaching vs single sport coaching, mentorship for coaches, and what real coaching really means
What does 'High Performance' mean including, culture, philosophy, people, and what makes it all work together, plus feedback and questions submitted over twitter about ITU racing, domestiques, 'Dirty Harry', and how an independent squad works.
What Real Coaching is all about, and our journey and development into elite coaching, plus analysis of the Ironman World Championships, and the ITU Grand Final in Chicago.

Not the world's most obvious holiday destination. Which is one of Malawi's great attractions – along with the astounding Lake Malawi, nine parks and wildlife reserves, Mount Mulanje, tea plantations and wonderfully welcoming locals.
You could, as part of your tailor-made holiday itinerary in Malawi, include a fly-in safari. It's perhaps the easiest way of travelling, but driving allows you to experience close-up the diversity that this small, land-locked country secrets away from the rest of the world.
The famous Lake Malawi, for example. Filling a gigantic rift valley with its sparklingly clear waters, this inland sea offers divers over 600 species of fish and awe-inspiring underwater rock formations. Plus a huge variety of water sports. The golden beaches at Kaya Mawa on Likoma Island are unrivalled, and you can snorkel from the steps of your room.
Or you could immerse yourself in Liwonde National Park with its elephants, crocodiles and hippos. You could take a bird watching safari and see how many of Malawi's 650 indigenous and visiting species you can spot.
Or you could follow Malawi expert Tania Perkins' advice and "do a really diverse itinerary…go down to the southern reaches of the country where you can go trekking on Mount Mulanje, visit the tea plantations and Zomba Malawi's old colonial capital".
Malawi. Obvious, it isn't. Tempting, it is.

House bill seeks to raise cigarette-buying age to 21
The current minimum legal age for buying cigarettes is 18 years old.
(SPOT.ph) In a bid to get more Pinoys to stop smoking, Quezon 4th District Rep. Angelina "Helen" Tan—who is a doctor—has filed House Bill 885 to amend Republic Act 9211 or "An Act Regulating the packaging, use, sale, distribution and advertisements of tobacco products."
A Manila Bulletin report points out that through her bill, Tan "wants to raise the minimum legal age for buying cigarettes to 21 years old from the current 18 years old."
In her explanatory noted for the bill, Tan argued that "raising the minimum legal age will also improve the health of adolescents and young adults by reducing the number of those with adverse physiological effects such as increased inflammation and impaired immune systems."
Tan's bill is just the latest filed to curb smoking in the country. The Philippine Star recalls that the law mandating the graphic health warnings or photographs showing the health risks of smoking on cigarette packaging took effect earlier this year.
Sun Star Manila likewise pointed out that anti-smoking advocates and groups such as the New Vois Association of the Philippines had urged President Rodrigo Duterte to implement a nationwide no-smoking policy. Duterte had implemented a strict no-smoking policy in Davao City when he was mayor.

The core of this show will drive home to entrepreneurs, business owners, aspiring leaders, CEO's, and corporate leaders about what it takes to drive bottom line results with people.
Let's face it…Strong financial results and a great customer experience are outcomes of what your teams create.
Now, most leaders will focus on trying to grow their business with more sales or create a great customer experience, but what I'm here to tell you is that these are outcomes. Simply outcomes to what your company becomes. So if you are the CEO and can implement leadership and success strategies with your internal teams, great! If you are a middle manager and your boss or division leaders haven't fully subscribed to developing the soft skills in business….then this show will help you too.
As for me, I believe that all businesses are nothing more than a collection of people. From time to time, you will hear me make some baseball analogies. Not only do I think baseball is the greatest simulation of life, but many times I've been successful shifting the mindset of business leaders when we compare investment in our business to those of championship sports teams.
As we define a business as a collection of people, I also like to define the three customers all businesses have. Now when I am asked to work with a client, the first thing I ask the CEO is about their customers. I am always so impressed with their understanding of the perspective and data surrounding the people that buy products and services. What always surprises me is when I follow up that question with….tell me about your teams.
There are a good amount of leaders that truly understand their people. But mostly the leaders of an organization don't look at their employees as customers. Further they don't look at their owners or investors as customers.
The fact is, all businesses have 3 customers. Shareholders, employees, and retail customers who actually buy stuff.
Now throughout this show we will dive into the details of how to drive great customer service and strong shareholder returns by understanding the employee customer. In today's competitive environment, this is the only way to distinguish your brand from the rest. And, it's what most people will miss as they chase their tails with out-of-balance strategies only designed to drive more income or a customer experience. It's not this or that. I believe you can have it all. What they will miss every time is the focus on the people that can actually make that happen.
You see, if we try and please only the customer that buys from us, we neglect our owners and shareholders by giving away free trials, concessions, and allow people to become delinquent when paying us.
If we only try and please our owners and shareholders, well then our customers will be dissatisfied with tight contract terms, price increases and other corporate policies that only focus on maximizing profit.
Now the companies that will win with the future of work are those that drive high performance with their employee customers as a result, allowing the paying customer to experience great service which ultimately drives more revenue for the owners and shareholders. This is the Inner Game of Business and I look forward to diving in deep preparing leaders for the future of work.
So who is Patrick Antrim and why am I doing this show? Well, I'm a speaker, author, entrepreneur, and retired professional athlete with the New York Yankees. Most of the results I have created in business comes from my ability to leverage the same business building strategies championship sports teams use in building winning cultures and traditions. I will be talking more about these stories and how they apply to winning in business. In fact, we might even get out some of the journals I wrote while traveling across the country in the team bus.
I've always enjoyed making an impact with people ever since I retired with the Yankees. I think I was able to see the power of influence and my ability to connect with people in both small and large audiences.
It wasn't always this way.
When I was 7 years old, I was electrocuted and experienced severe facial scars on and around my mouth. Since then, I have had two surgeries that have corrected the scars. Before the surgery, I was bullied as a young student and school was not fun. I had little confidence. I would skip school anytime I could. This is when I first learned to sell.
When my parents signed me up for little league baseball it was then that I learned that people like to win. I became pretty good and our 12 year old team made it to the finals on our path to the Little League World Series. We lost to Mexicali who lost in the final game to Seoul, South Korea. In spite of coming so close, I discovered confidence through performance.
Baseball had then become my identity.
My parents moved me to South Orange County, California for the purpose of competitive baseball. I made the freshman team and absolutely loved my coach. However, as sometimes happens with teenagers, I got a car and a girlfriend and this became my new interest. I slipped in baseball, my grades slid and I didn't make Varsity until my senior year. I felt left behind.
My high school coach was tough. He was a great coach but lacked the communication style to get me motivated. This was the first time baseball became un-fun. He called me the "worst shortstop ever" after making a physical error in a tournament in Florida. I called my dad and he encouraged me to not quit.
I gave up on baseball at this point and finished the year without college scholarships and a dream to play at the next level. Again, I felt left behind as my other teammates were placed at Division 1 programs. I took a year off from baseball and hit the gym. I didn't want to be called skinny anymore. I enrolled in Junior College and it felt like a fresh start with a new focus on business and communications.
After some time, though, I began to miss baseball
I tried out for the Junior College baseball team and made the cut. Stronger and faster and with new coaching, my confidence grew exponentially. My coach offered me the opportunity to switch hit, which means that I would hit left handed and right handed. This new challenge renewed my love of the game and I had to break down my swing to learn from the start. It was like starting from scratch, only at the college level. My first plate appearance as a left hander, I hit a homerun and from that point on I felt confident as a switch hitter.
I set and still hold individual records at my alma mater. At this point, I was receiving offers from schools I had only dreamed of attending. More than 15 Division 1 schools were calling to recruit me along with a dozen other Major League Baseball teams.
My confidence was growing and I was steadily building momentum. Two weeks before the Major League Draft, a Yankees scout visited our home and talked to me about the Yankees future. They mentioned a skinny guy named Derek Jeter as their only prospect for shortstop. My scout interviewed me to get an idea about my goals. In June of that year, the New York Yankees selected me in the Major League Draft as a shortstop.
I played 3 seasons with the Yankees and retired in 1997. My agent received a call and the Yankees wanted me back. I returned to Spring Training in 1998 and after that, confirmed to myself baseball was not a lifestyle I could, or wanted to, sustain. I wanted to be a family man and to be known as more than an athlete.
I became the Apprentice to one of the world's richest Americans, the Honorable George Argyros. Argyros was the former Owner of the Seattle Mariners Baseball Team and later the United States Ambassador to Spain. I fast tracked my success leveraging the same business building strategies the Yankees used to build legendary teams and culture. I am now applying these strategies to business.
Now, my friends and family thought I was crazy retiring from the Yankees to work as an apprentice. I worked directly with Argyros for 18 months and then began to learn the real estate business from the ground up. Already having a grand vision of what it's like to run multiple organizations from 30,000 feet, I begin at the bottom scraping curbs at apartment communities and collecting coins in laundry rooms.
I fast tracked to executive roles and then was asked to lead other successful organizations. I experienced the peak of success ultimately managing for America's most influential investors including John Saunders – International Coin Dealer, former Assistant Treasurer of American Express Bank, and one of Bank of America's single largest borrowers. Also, the Honorable George Argyros – Forbes Billionaire and #731 on the world's richest men (according to Forbes).
Then, I became a single father overnight.
Everything shifted and life became a struggle. I had no plans for this. I burned through resources and began to feel unbalanced at work. I reflected on my values and grew closer in my walk with the Lord.
As a full-time father, I decided to become an entrepreneur to create a lifestyle that supported my family goals. I succeeded out the gate, however fell hard and fast three months later when the financial crisis hit in 2008.
2008 turned out not to be a good time to start a business.
I was growing but struggling all at the same time. I became more as a leader, understood what success really meant as my life became more simple. Not afraid to go to zero, I risked all of my financial success to pursue my purpose.
I had lost everything but myself.
I was now involved with my boys in ways never possible before. I found myself doubting the sacrifice as the market was not responding to me. I started to feel unsuccessful without the high income. I had always solved my problems with money and now I needed to become more. Looking back, this was the best gift I could ever have received.
I built my speaking and leadership platform over the next 3 years. I invested in myself, connected with mentors, began speaking, developed curriculum, and began to write books.
I connected with another amazing high profile entrepreneur and began to improve his business. I was motivated and inspired daily to become more and implement more leadership strategies.
I moved to Scottsdale, Arizona and fell in love with the energy. This is where I am currently working and thriving because I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to surround myself with other leaders on a daily basis that are achieving high levels of success.
So here's the deal.
I'm just like you. I like to feel good and win. I also have fears that need constant overcoming. I write, speak, and add value in the areas I often need the most support myself. It helps me become more when I teach. Because I am an expert, that's only possible because I have to be a student first. Even though I struggled in school early, this insecurity has actually driven me to be a constant student for life. This allows me to share what I know with my community.
I love people. I consider myself a developer. I enjoy building apartment communities and looking at the dirt lot and creating a community where families would later celebrate birthdays and holidays together. I love to see things grow. If that's a business unit or a person. I work really hard and bring my best to everything I do. I believe that behind every success and failure is a person. So the better we understand ourselves, the better we are able to drive high performance outcomes. I approach my life like baseball and believe the game is a great simulation of life.

Smug Alert: San Francisco's Outside Lands unveils lineup ... of food and wine
Multi-day San Francisco music fest Outside Lands today pulled back the curtain on its all-star lineup of designer food and wine. Let's Be Frank, the Vampire Weekend of hot-dog eateries, and Pica Pica Maize Kitchen, which boasts a cachapa aimed squarely at a Calexico fan's heart, will anchor a lineup of more than 30 cult culinary options from acclaimed restaurants and wineries.
The two-day Golden Gate Park event is set for the weekend of Aug. 14, and Outside Lands will unveil its full roster of side attractions, including its music, on June 1. Limited-edition, lower-priced tickets go on sale Friday (May 7). That should give fans plenty of time to decide which wine goes best with the Animal Collective's 5 1/2-minute warped mediation of "Graze."
All kidding aside, the move points to a burgeoning collision of the indie and foodie set, as well as, perhaps, the more affluent concertgoer who can shell out the cash for multi-day fests and hotels. The IFC's "Dinner With the Band" showcases the culinary smarts of the likes of Kid Sister and Yacht, among others, and Lollapalooza tapped famed Chicago chef Graham Elliot Bowles to curate the festival's food options.
And really, we Angelenos are just jealous of our friends in the Bay Area. Goldenvoice, are you paying attention? Spicy Pie is great and all, but three days of Coachella's desert heat and greasy pizza are a bit much (but score on the addition of Kogi and Border Grill). Also, seriously, props must go to Outside Lands for giving fans some quality beverage options and not catering to one sponsor (Goldenvoice: Heineken is not a drinkable beer).
So if Outside Lands promoters Another Planet Entertainment, Superfly Productions and Starr Hill Presents book a local brewery such as Moonlight, that's a coup on the par of landing the Gorillaz and Charlotte Gainsbourg.

We Just Might Have 37" OLED TVs Within the Next 18 Months
Image via LGEPR via Flickr CC
Toshiba and Panasonic are both looking to put OLED TVs on the market ASAP, and in sizes that people will buy. Rumor has it, Panasonic wants to introduce an larger size OLED TV within the next 18 months to 2 years, and Toshiba is helping them advance the technology that will help accomplish that goal. Well, maybe it's not so much a rumor:
Senior Pansonic executives who were in Australia yesterday for the launch of a new range of plasma TVs including a new 54" 1" thick wireless TV have said that Pansonic is currently researching HD OLED TV and that the Japanese Company will have an OLED TV within 18 months to 2 years.
Considering how much less energy OLEDs consume over current LCD and, most definitely over plasma, seeing OLED TVs hit the market within 2 years would be good news. (Of course, we'd hope the people buying them are consumers who have just recycled their old TV which they loved to pieces until the day it kicked the bucket and couldn't be repaired...) Manufacturers being firmly prodded to produce and market the most energy efficient televisions as possible will also benefit from an advance like this in TVs.
OLED TVs of this size will still likely be price prohibitive, which means there won't be much of a competition right away between OLED and LCD or plasma TVs. But getting something on the market means it's just a matter of time before advancing technology brings the price down to more affordable levels.
This news comes on the heels of a statement in an IFA 2009 press conference that OLED displays will be taking off within the next few years as manufacturers push to produce the new technology, rather than plodding along with older tech like LCD.

The April 13, 2015 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE's RAW brand, which took place on April 13, 2015 at the O2 Arena in London, England.
The Champ is here, (Union) Jack. And while even the borders of nations and TSA scanning hassles can't stop John Cena from bringing his U.S. Title Open Challenge to London, hometown hero Bad News Barrett wasn't about to let the Star-Spangled champion walk out of Old Blighty without a beating to show for it. Answering Cena's call despite the fact he's got an Intercontinental Title rematch lined up against Daniel Bryan at Extreme Rules, Barrett rode a sea of rowdy soccer chants to an advantage against The Champ in the early goings.
Cena, who spent a surprising amount of the match on his heels, had to battle back from Barrett's streetwise fisticuffs to stay in the fight. Barrett was no slouch, escaping the Attitude Adjustment and clobbering Cena with a Bull Hammer, though Cena snatched victory from the jaws of defeated with the springboard stunner-AA combo. Lana was quick to ravishingly rain on The Champ's parade, distracting Cena atop the ramp while Rusev swarmed the ring with his fist wrapped in a chain to jump Cena from behind. Appropriately enough, since Lana revealed that the U.S. Title Match at Extreme Rules will be a Russian Chain Match. Perhaps Cena will share his feelings on SmackDown ... assuming he's conscious by then.
And somebody's not thrilled about that. You see, the finagling of the Divas division may have earned them all a fair shot (a chance, if you will) at becoming next in line for Nikki Bella's title in a Battle Royal, but one Diva in particular wasn't too happy when her seemingly preordained spot as the next woman up didn't pan out. That'd be Naomi, who's defeated the champion twice and went into the melee as the heavy favorite, only to get superkicked out of the ring by Paige in the nail-biting conclusion of the Battle Royal. She wasn't happy. In fact, Naomi crashed Paige's post-match interview, beating her down until a referee intervened to call her off.
Some rivalries simply cannot be contained by NXT. Take the bad blood between The Lucha Dragons and The Ascension, which has traversed oceans and continents from Florida's Full Sail University all the way to London, England. The latest installment of the rivalry ended much as the last few have, with the implication of a Tag Team Title opportunity looming large. Even with the increased stakes, however, the big bruisers fell victim once again to the whiplash-inducing stylings of Kalisto & Sin Cara. The Ascension couldn't even get out of the blocks, as the Dragons beat them about the ring before putting a stamp on it with a combo of Kalisto's Salida del Sol and a senton bomb from Sin Cara.
He hasn't exactly kept silent about it, but Roman Reigns has certainly chosen his words carefully when discussing his "stolen" WrestleMania moment and the ignominy of going from surefire WWE World Heavyweight Champion to an onlooker at Seth Rollins' ill-gotten ticker tape parade. That changed on Monday, when The Big Dog spoke at length about his Show of Shows main event in an in-ring interview with Booker T, though the subject changed quickly enough to his ongoing beef with Big Show.
The giant himself helped steer the topic, of course, when he appeared on the TitanTron to taunt Reigns over costing him the No. 1 contender's spot last week, though Show was nowhere to be seen when Reigns called him out in earnest. The Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal winner did, however, make his presence known as Reigns exited the stage, attacking the 2014 Superstar of the Year on the ramp and chokeslamming him atop the roof of a car.
The last time Randy Orton squared off against Cesaro, one was a champion and one was a rising force destined for greater and greater things. One year later, the roles were slightly reversed, with Cesaro holding one half of the WWE Tag Titles and Orton on the path to WWE World Heavyweight Title No. 13.
Battling for the right to determine his stipulation against Seth Rollins at Extreme Rules, Orton came out swinging against The Swiss Superman, but never got a chance to kick it into second gear, as Tyson Kidd tripped The Viper on the apron in full view of the ref. A disqualification ruling followed, but Kane was quick to reshuffle the deck, using his power as Director of Operations to arrange an on-the-spot Handicap Match between Orton and Cesaro & Kidd to ensure a fair, decisive, conclusion.
Rebounding nicely from the shenanigans that landed him on the wrong end of a 2-on-1 beating, Randy Orton survived the WWE Tag Team Champions to earn his pick of stipulation in the WWE World Heavyweight Title Match at Extreme Rules. This despite some fantastic tandem chicanery by Cesaro & Tyson Kidd that tested the limits of both the rules and Orton's endurance, but the champs seemed to have underestimated Orton's abilities. Cesaro rushed the ring while Kidd was on the ropes and ate a powerslam in response, and when Kidd springboarded off the ropes to catch Orton from behind, he caught an RKO outta nowhere instead. Boom.
Hide your Rosebuds and assorted valuables: Dean Ambrose is back and hoo boy, is he mad. The Lunatic Fringe — showing his face for the first time since a pair of brutal powerbombs sent him to the injured list — came to Raw ready to deliver beating. And it was just Adam Rose's bad luck that he happened to be the poor guy in the former U.S. Champion's way. Rose didn't exactly wilt for the rampaging madman, though a stiff challenge didn't measure up to Ambrose's momentum. The Lunatic Fringe not only took flight with a suicide dive that sent Rose tumbling into his own crew, but he also replied to a superkick with his ricocheting clothesline and Dirty Deeds for the win.
One star shone in London and another, perhaps, was reborn when Stardust toppled Fandango, leading to a surprising change in heart from the dancing trickster that many in the WWE Universe have wanted to see for two years. Moments after the Disaster Kick put him away, Fandango, who was being consoled by Rosa Mendes, finally embraced his destiny — and his popularity — by spurning his Latina lover and electing to share his gifts with the world. Fandango's original entrance music hit and, at long last, he was Fandangoing the night away with the WWE Universe.
Call it the Chokeslam of Doom. Despite some strong words from his old hug buddy Daniel Bryan, Kane did exactly what Seth Rollins told him to do and laid down for The Architect, ensuring he'd get a pick of his own for the stipulation of the WWE World Heavyweight Title Match at Extreme Rules. It looked, for a moment, however, like it was going to go the other way, with the Director of Operations systematically removing his suit as Rollins looked on in horror, shoving J&J Security aside and walloping Rollins in the face. And even though he planted Rollins with a Chokeslam, he stopped short of a Tombstone, electing, after much debate, to lie down next to an unconscious Rollins instead and drape the champion's lifeless arm over himself to lose the fall as commanded.
It was a long time coming, but Damien Mizdow finally found himself topping the bill just one week after suffering a humiliating loss to The Miz on Raw. Spurned on, no doubt, by his epic retaliation on SmackDown, Mizdow followed up with his long-awaited in-ring retribution against the former WWE Champion. He even had Summer Rae in his corner when he scored the fateful rollup that defeated Miz to the mat, plus a kiss on the cheek from The Awesome One's "Marine 4" co-starlet to boot. Not bad for a stunt double.
It was only a matter of time before Dean Ambrose made his move against Luke Harper. But The Lunatic Fringe will have to wait a little while longer for his payback against the former Intercontinental Champion, whose rematch with Ryback ended in a disqualification when he slammed the commentary tabletop into The Big Guy's head. Ambrose then sprinted to the ring and jumped his rival, though Harper made his escape through the WWE Universe before the former U.S. Champion could get his proper retribution.
Dolph Ziggler was supposed to compete against Seth Rollins before Kane was coerced into taking his spot, but you didn't really think Dolph Ziggler would deprive the WWE Universe of Dolph Ziggler, right? Taking a page out of his old teammate John Cena's playbook, The Showoff issued an open challenge that ended up being answered by England's own former NXT Champion Neville.
The two workhorses did not disappoint, clashing in a dream match the likes of which even the most fervent corners of the Internet Sports-Entertainment Community didn't think would happen for another few months. Neville's breathtaking 450 Splash off the barricade seemingly handed him the win on a platter, though experience ultimately won out when a reeling Ziggler evaded the Red Arrow and hit the Zig Zag for the victory. Sheamus immediately spoiled the party, pulverizing Neville with one Brogue Kick and, after a vicious scrap with The Showoff outside the ring, taking Ziggler down with another.
Not only did Seth Rollins avoid a Tombstone Piledriver, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion can breathe a sigh of relief in two weeks' time that the RKO is off the table at Extreme Rules. That's because Rollins, armed with the ability to choose a stipulation in his title match against Randy Orton, chose to ban The Viper's signature move from competition come bell time. Orton, of course, is a snake of many tricks, and decided to take Rollins' own greatest weapon — The Authority — away by enclosing the bout in a Steel Cage. And then, because he's only got two weeks of RKOs left, Orton decided to dish 'em out while he still could. Thanks to J&J's interference, only Joey Mercury caught the maneuver, and as for Rollins, he decided to get out while the getting was good and run. At least, while he still could.

I send you warm greetings from Kilimanjaro Airport, where our delegation of visitors has arrived to participate in the consecration and installation of Bishop Elias Kitoi Nasari. Our flights were long and uneventful, and we hope to rest a bit tomorrow before a busy weekend of events.
On Saturday all of the pastors of the Diocese of Meru and the international guests will join in worship, and on Sunday (from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.) we will participate in the service of consecration and installation. Guests are arriving from other European partners, and it is sure to be a festive and joyful day.
This is a great opportunity for us to express our unity in mission and witness, that even though we worship in different styles and languages, and the ways we express and live out our faith varies according to our customs and our contexts, we are one church. We are brothers an sisters in faith, united by the common waters of baptism and strengthened by our common meal.
I invite your prayers this weekend, giving thanks to God for our partnership in the Gospel, and asking God to bless our celebrations and our travels back home. Thank you for willingness and support this vital mission, as together we give witness to the light and love of Christ.
— Bishop Paul Erickson, Greater Milwaukee Synod

Did you even wonder what happens to a Real Housewife once she is put out to pasture? Cancelled. Not asked back. Told they are no longer "IT" women. Since they were never "IT" girls, why should they have ever really been "IT" women in the first place? But seriously, where do they go? How do they refer to themselves postmortem? "I WAS real but no longer am?" When the glare of Andy Cohen's pearly whites dims and the real housewife is left to her own devices, standing on the edge of a red carpet event, what happens?

Weiner's Plan Was To Boot Palin From The Headlines
Gotta hand in to the Democrats.

Netanyahu backing controversial libel law amendment
Source: JTA, 11-21-11
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come out in support of a libel law amendment a day after Israeli journalists gathered to protest the bill.
The libel law amendment passed a first reading in the Knesset Monday evening by a vote of 42-31. The measure relaxes the criteria for slander and libel, and more than triples the maximum damages for such infractions.
"As long as I'm prime minister, Israel will continue to be an exemplary democracy, and no one will tell anyone what to think, what to write, what to investigate and what to broadcast," Netanyahu said Monday at a party meeting.
"We will preserve democracy, the freedom of expression and the rights of minorities," he added.
On Sunday, reporters, editors and other Israeli media figures met to discuss their opposition to the libel law amendment as well as the upcoming closing of Israel's second commercial television channel, Channel 10.
Amendment opponents say the measure will limit freedom of the press and stifle investigative journalism, and that the fines are excessive.

Brompton S6L Folding Bike - Tempest Blue - 16" WheelThe Brompton S6L Folding Bike is the perfect bicycle for the city. The clever design means that the bike folds down to a portable, practical size (585mm high x 565mm long x 270mm wide) in under 20 seconds, meaning it can be taken on most forms of public and private transport. It can also easily be taken inside (homes, offices, bars) so it is a lot less likely to be stolen.
Once folded, the bike is locked together in a compact package, which can be carried or towed easily. The chain and gears are in the centre of the folded package keeping them away from clothing and luggage.
The 16" wheels afford the bike great acceleration and manoeuvrability, ideal for stop-start city riding. The smaller wheel diameter also increases the strength and rigidity of the wheels. The suspension offered by the long seat post and suspension block make the small folding bike comfortable to ride over rough surfaces and for longer distances.
Brompton's are tough and can take everything the city throws at them. They have been handmade in London since 1975 and feature a steel frame, efficient and puncture resistant tyres, options to fit a range of luggage and come with a choice of both four different handle bar types and gearing options.
Let a Brompton folding bike take you anywhere - its flexibility allows you to get more out of the city, day and night.
This model features the S type handlebar offering a lower, sportier ride position, for those preferring a more responsive ride, and 6 speed internal hub gears. It also includes mudguards.
- Frame: Steel
- Forks: Rigid steel for durability
- Gears: 6 Speed Enclosed hub gearing, a great choice for everyday cycling
- Brakes: Brompton dual-pivot calliper for reliable stopping

According to news source Rappler.com, early morning of June 7, BPI clients began reporting unauthorized transactions in their account. BPI representative said that the glitch was due to "internal data processing error". The glitch in the system of BPI resulted to increase and decrease in the bank account balance of some BPI clients.
This is something that needs to be looked deeply by the Central Bank, as this involves financial security of the public. It is good to remember that one of the major purpose of bank is to make sure that the public money is safe.
In the past, we used to put our money under our bed, inside the cabinet, and other places that we think it's safe. Then, banks convinced us that our money is safe with them. In the past were bank records (current balance, debit, credit, and etc) were kept manually using paper and drawers, (I'm assuming) the only security measure to be done is to keep the records lock in the cabinet, have a back-up cabinet for the records, and have a security personnel.
Now, after many decades, banks are using database and super computers to store banking records to accommodate millions of bank clients. The question now is how do we keep the records safe? Take note that most of our bank records today are stored inside a big computer, unlike in the past were you can access the bank drawers and pull out the record (only fire [burned records] and other fortuitous even will totally erase your records). Now, a small tweak in the computer code, a virus/malware attack, or a computer hardware breakdown can totally change or erase the banking records (but this is not to say that we cannot retrieve those records). The point is, banks should be prepared when negative events happen, there should be always be a back-up of banking records (may it be papers inside a cabinet).
A question before I end the write-up, how do you make a person with bank account an instant billionaire? Answer, add nine zeros to his/her account balance (000,000,000). We are now in the internet era were measurement of wealth is just a record in the computer. Hopefully, BPI computer expert personnel will find the "bug" (term for the wrong code that is causing a problem to a computer program) and hope it will not repeat again.

Neighborhood Streets Program
Neighborhood Streets Program Coordinator - Melissa Norman
Phone: 503-846-7950
Online Neighborhood Safety Campaign Request Form
Goals and Objectives of the Neighborhood Streets Program
Traffic conditions on residential streets can affect neighborhood livability. When streets are safe and pleasant, the quality of life is enhanced. When traffic problems become a daily occurrence, livability can be diminished. Washington County's Neighborhood Streets Program (NSP) is about maintaining livability in urban unincorporated neighborhoods. It's a way for neighbors to address traffic-related quality of life issues such as speeding, cut-through traffic, and parking infiltration.
Citizen involvement is an important part of all traffic calming projects. The people who live and work in the project area have the opportunity to become actively involved in the process. It takes a commitment of time and energy, and the ability to consider diverse points of view. But, hopefully, the results are worth the effort.
The goals of the Neighborhood Streets Program are to preserve and improve neighborhood livability by:
Discouraging undesirable driver behavior,
Encouraging safe pedestrian and bicycle use,
Improving the safety of pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers,
Involving area residents in solving traffic problems, and
Making efficient use of your tax dollars by prioritizing requests for improvements.
The objectives of the Neighborhood Streets Program are to:
Positively influence driver behavior through education and design.
Encourage citizen involvement in all phases of the Neighborhood Streets Program activities.
Achieve lower vehicle speeds in neighborhoods with identified speed problems.
Improve real and perceived safety for motorized and non-motorized users.
Promote mobility by accommodating the needs of pedestrian, bicycle and transit use.
Reduce cut-through traffic in neighborhoods.
Increase access for all modes and preserve reasonable emergency vehicle access.
Enhance the street environment.
Incorporate the preferences and needs of those using the Street.
How the Program Works
The program is a two-phase, two-year process. The process begins with residents collectively identifying the traffic concerns in their neighborhood and discussing possible solutions from the measures listed under Possible First Year Solutions, which focuses on passive less restrictive measures like educational programs, enforcement, pavement legends, and signing.
A Neighborhood Safety Campaign Request form will then need to be completed. You can fill out and submit this request online or you can download the form.
Once we receive the Neighborhood Safety Campaign Request form, your concerns will be reviewed and we will begin collecting data for approximately 8 weeks. From this information, we compile a Phase 1 Proposed Improvement Plan for the location. We will conduct a neighborhood meeting and present this information to you as well as our recommendations. Traffic Engineering will then execute the plan and evaluate improvements for one year.
Should the Phase 1 actions prove ineffective at addressing the initial concern, more restrictive Phase 2 methods, including physical devices, are considered if minimum qualifications are met.

Burst the Bubble of Israeli Apartheid - Boycott Soda Stream
19 April 2013, Melbourne
Briefing paper:
Bursting the Bubble of Israeli apartheid: Boycott Soda Stream
SodaStream is the world's largest maker of home carbonation systems. In 1996, SodaStream established its main production plant in Mishor Adumim, an industrial zone located in the illegal Israeli colony of Ma'ale Adumim in the Occupied West Bank. Ma'ale Adumim represents one of the largest Israeli thefts of Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank with land stolen from the Palestinian towns of Abu Dis, Azarya, Atur, Issauya, Han El Akhmar, Anata and Nebbi Mussa. The colony is strategically positioned to disconnect Ramallah, Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jericho to prevent Palestinian movement and development.
The Ma'ale Adumim industrial zone and the residential areas are part of Israel's "East 1" project, which was initiated in 1995 by Yitzhak Rabin. The project aims to cut the Occupied West Bank off from Occupied East Jerusalem though strategic settlement expansion, hence destroying any prospect of a viable Palestinian state. Most recently in early December 2012 - in retaliation for the vote at the UN granting Palestine "non-member observer state status" - IsraeloPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorised the building of an addition 3000 illegal settler housing units between Jerusalem and Ma'ale Adumim to ensure the strategic expansion of the settlement.
SodaStream receives regular tax benefits/breaks from the Israeli government and employs Palestinians under exploitative labour conditions. Palestinians who work in illegal Israeli settlements face exploitative labour conditions. According to reports from three consecutive years (2008 to 2010) of Kav LaOved (an NGO committed to protecting the rights of disadvantaged workers employed by Israeli companies), the workers in the SodaStream factory suffer from harsh working conditions. This is particularly true for the Palestinian workers. During the last few years, there have been several occasions on which workers complained about low wages and poor working conditions, and about 'revolving door' employment policies.
SodaStream is located in a "Cross-border Industrial Zone" in the West Bank, but goods produced here do not serve the local Palestinian population. 65% of goods are shipped elsewhere and taxes and profits go to support the Israeli economy---not Palestinians. These industrial zones entrench the illegal Israeli occupation and Palestinian oppression. In addition SodaStream's products are mislabelled as being from Israel, when they are in fact from the Occupied West Bank.
SodaStream is currently building a new factory in the Negev desert where the Israeli state ethnically has cleansed more than 90,000 Palestinian Bedouin in the wake of the 1948 Palestinian Nakba. Since 1948, Israel has declared Palestinian Bedouin land unsettled, unassigned and uncultivated and sought to prevent Bedouins from returning to their lands.
In 2011, Israel announced that it planned to ethnically cleanse more than 30,000 Palestinian Bedouins who continue to live the Negev in more than 40 "unrecognised villages" - this is despite the fact that the majority of the villages have been in existences since before the establishment of the Israeli state. These "unrecognised" villages are systematically excluded by the Israeli government from official maps and excluded from the provision of local and national government infrastructure, such as electricity, water, telephone lines and educational and health facilities and services in order to make life as difficult as possible for the Bedouin in the hope that they will voluntarily leave their lands.
So while the Israeli state has continued to systematically ethnically cleanse Palestinian Bedouin from the Negev, SodaStream has received a $AU6.31 million construction grant from Israeli Ministry of Trade and Industry in order to build their new factory on stolen Palestinian Bedouin land.
In Australia a number of retailers stock SodaStream, including:
Woolworths, KMart, Myers, David Jones,Coles, Big W, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, Retrovision, IGA, MItre 10, Betta Electrical, Domestix and Foodworks.

Funny Tale of a Lost Senior Citizen17 nov
When I went to lunch today, I noticed an old man sitting on a park bench sobbing his eyes out. I stopped and asked him what was wrong.
He told me, 'I have a 22 year old wife at home. She rubs my back every morning and then gets up and makes me pancakes, sausage, fresh fruit and freshly ground coffee.'
I continued, 'Well, then why are you crying?'
He added, 'She makes me homemade soup for lunch and my favourite biscuits, cleans the house and then watches sports TV with me for the rest of the afternoon.'
I said, 'Well, why are you crying?'
He said, 'For dinner she makes me a gourmet meal with wine and my favourite dessert and then we cuddle until the small hours.'
He replied, 'I can't remember where I live.'

When I was still living with my parents, about a year before I turned 18, I planned to kill myself by hanging. I had thought about it many times before, but that was my most serious plan. I really believed I would die, so I gave myself a few weeks to prepare for it. During that time, I bought a rope, cleaned my room and put some of my things in boxes. I also gave away some of my possesions and looked up articles on the net about how to hang myself so it would not be very painful.
I tried it twice. The first time, I was in the school bathroom. I took out the rope I had been carrying with me each day and stood on the toilet so I could tie it to a water pipe. After I tied the rope to the pipe I made a noose and put it around my neck and stood there for about an hour or more, but I was too scared to jump. I guess it was just the basic survival instinct. Now I see that when a young person is feeling suicidal, and is fighting such a strong instinct in our fundamental human nature, it means that they must be suffering from intense pain which has been building up for a long time.
The second time, I also intended to hang myself, but I thought it would be a good plan to overdose first. The idea was that I would be dying slowly, so it would probably motivate me to get it over with as fast as possible and make it easier to hang myself after. So not long after my first attempt, I returned to the school bathroom and swallowed a handfull of prescription pills which I had been saving up. But this time I never got as far as making a noose because I started to feel numb and I panicked. I asked the teacher who I trusted the most for help, and she took me straight away to the hostpital. She also called the school counselor, who I had been seeing for some time. I didn't want them to tell my parents because I was afraid of their reaction. It is sad now to look back and realize how scared I was of my own parents for so many years. From talking to other teens through my volunteer work, I have found out that they also live in fear of their own parents or caregivers.
Before that, I came close to jumping out of a window, but when I stood there and looked down, I realised it wasnt that high, so I knew there wasnt a very good chance I would die. On another occasion I also planned to climb up the emergency fire exit staircase and jump from my school roof, but I only ever got as far as a few steps.
There was another time at school when I seriously thought about killing myself. This was right after talking with one of my teachers who was concerned about my lack of participation during his lessons. I found it almost impossible to speak in class, so I felt pressured when he began lecturing me about not being able to talk. He implied that I would not do very well in university if I wasn't able to communicate my ideas to others. Listening to him, I started to feel hopeless about the future and thinking of myself as failure.
I feel frustrated now, because I can't remember his exact words, nor did I write them down at the time. I guess when teenagers feel powerless and begin to believe that nobody is going to take them seriously about these 'little' things, it is natural for them to try to forget quickly, instead of remembering. But if they know that someone will stand up for them and support them, or if they are taught that something is wrong and somebody will care, they are more likely to want to recall exactly what kinds of words and actions hurt, so they can tell others about it later. I encourage depressed teenagers to write down what hurts, discourages and depresses them, so others can learn from the causes of their pain.
During that period of my life, standing with a rope around my neck was the closest I ever got to killing myself. I cant think of a reason why my attempt would not have worked, except for the fact I was too scared to die. I guess there was always a chance somebody might have walked in on me because even though I was alone, I was still within the school building. Looking back, I realise that I wanted people from school to find my dead body so they would finally know how much pain I suffered in there. It seemd like I had to go through such lengths just to have my pain acknowledged and accepted.
I believed I would be better off dead, so I was planning for everything to work out that way. I thought of putting things against the door, so that no one would be able to come in, and I waited until I knew it was least likely for there to be people around. Because of this, I felt very offended and not at all understood when one of the mental health workers not so subtly implied that I hadn't really intended to kill myself. He asked me questions like, "So did you really think the pipe would hold you?" He quickly concluded that there was nothing wrong in my life excpet for some 'behaviour problems' to be dealt with. I could tell he wasn't taking me seriously at all.
This is something else I'd like people to learn about teen suicide... that a person who tries to kill themselves needs to be listened to and taken very seriously. Ideally, we need to be listened to long before we become suicidal. Failing this, once someone has tried to kill themselves, or has even thought seriously about it, I feel certain that caring and compassionate listening could help prevent future attempts.
My parents are well meaning, but not very understanding about emotions. Like other parents, they probably weren't taught anything specific about how to provide emotional support for their children. As a result of this, I never really felt safe to tell them very much about myself or how I felt. I have seen this to be the case too, with many other suicidal teenagers. We don't often feel safe to be ourselves with classmates or family, so we become secretive about our true feelings.
Apart from not knowing how to show they cared, they placed too much value on things that just added to my constant sense of stress and faliure. For example, I used to feel very pressured by them to get the highest grades in school, and later to get into the best university possible. But we never talked directly about important things. We lived in the same house, but we were more like emotional strangers.
I suspect most of the dysfunctional ways I learnt to deal with problems came from living in that environment. I feel sad when I think of the way they treated me and how they responded to the stresses of raising children, because it means that they themselves didn't grow up with very healthy role models.
When my brother, sister and I were smaller, they used to do things like hitting us, yelling at us, and washing our mouths out with soap. I remember one time when I was five years old, my parents were very angry with us. They were shouting at my sister and I, and one of them yelled for us to "get out of the house and never come back!"
I don't remember now whether it was my mother or father who said it, but I do remember standing there at the door, feeling terrified, and asking my sister "What should we do?!" I was too afraid to leave but I was also afraid to stay. My parents left the room and my sister said she wanted to wait a bit because she was scared to leave. But I'm pretty sure that if she hadn't said that, I would have left. Yet I don't know where I would have gone. This had to have been a traumatic experience for a five year old.
My father would get angry at times, and destroy our things right in front of us. For example, he smashed a small child's table that my sister and I used to play at. He also destroyed several of our toys. Mum used to hit us a lot... but the worst was living in constant fear of when the next time would be. She would threaten to hit us if we weren't 'good' or if we didn't do what she said. I remember at least two times when she slapped me so hard that I bled.
My parents also used to leave me alone to cry for literally hours. That really hurt me. I felt so uncared about and unimportant to them. From talking to other suicidal teens, I have learned similar things occur in their homes too.
These days, I am better able to understand why they did things like these in the past. I am feeling more supported and respected by them, so I am hopeful that someday we can work toward improving our relationship.
Trust and Betrayal
One teacher in particular helped me to realize that suicidal teenagers need somebody in their life who they can really trust and be open with. In my case, this teacher was somebody I could trust, and felt fairly safe in talking to about why I was depressed.
She knew that I was afraid to talk to my parents and didn't want them to know about my plans to kill myself. One day, she admitted that she wasn't sure how to help me, and had sought further 'consultation' about how to deal with my being suicidal. She told me the advice they gave her was to tell my parents immediately. Hearing this, I began to feel scared, but then felt relived when she continued... "I thought about it a long time, and I remembered you said you were afraid of your parents. So I've decided not to tell them. I'm not sure if that was the right decision... "
I now feel lucky she did not tell my parents. If this had happened, I feel certian that I would have had a much stronger incentive to kill myself, and I would not have called her for help like I did at the actual time of my suicide attempt.
Since I began talking to other suicidal teenagers, I've realized how my case could have turned out very differently. Often, we put our trust in adults who are in a position to help us, only to have them betray that trust. It's a difficult situation, since it seems that counselors are obliged to tell a teenager's parents when they know the teen is potentially a danger to themselves. But I am begining to question how helpful this policy really is to people like me. The teens I have been helping, for example, often don't seem to have a single person in their lives who they can trust without the fear of being betrayed in this way.
Because they are afraid of having their confidentiality broken if they tell the truth, they begin to lie to their counselors, teachers and parents. They feel more alone and less understood. In this way, the people that want to help us can actually be unintentionally adding more stress and secretiveness to our lives. And they could be making it less likely that we will talk to them the next time we feel suicidal.
My teacher's choice to not tell my parents appears to be a pretty rare one. I feel grateful to her for this, and want to reinforce that she made the right decision. This is especially considering she could have lost her job if I had killed myself, and would have felt responsible if this had actually happened. I guess there is always a risk involved in these situations, but from what I've learned in doing my volunteer work, it seems to be more important for a suicidal teenager to have somebody they can trust. Somebody they can feel safe to ask for help when they need it.

text: A trip to the Aktun-Chen ecopark gives you a unique chance to visit one of the oldest and most beautiful underground caves in Mexico with water. Moreover, we will even invite you for a bath in an ancient cenote opening right into the jungle! Covered with incredible tracery of stalactites and stalagmites that stretch for over 700 yards, the cave used to be of a special importance to the ancient Mayas who considered it to be the home of nature spirits and the gates to the underworld. Long ago, Mayan shamans and priests used to descend here to invoke rain god Chaac pleading to send lavish rains upon their fields and bless the village with abundant crops. It seems you can still hear their voices and catch a glimpse of enigmatic shadows wandering in this mystical place. Can you feel goose bumps on your skin? Stop by at Aktun-Chen and touch the legend that lives under the dusky vault of our fabulous cave!
