The concept
Just back from a very special trip to Chamonix- Mont-Blanc – a resort area near the junction of France, Switzerland and Italy – organized by Mike Evens. It's difficult to call it a "festival" or any other. I would say it´s a mixture of sports, kizomba, playing games, socializing and having fun – SKIZOMBA!!!
A very particular concept of Ski practice + Kizomba dance had its first edition 7 years ago. I have never heard of it before. But looking for unusual experiences I paid attention to it and decided to make it one of my priority trips 2018. When I got everything solved and confirmed I felt those butterflys in my stomach!
Mike Evens
Knowing Mike Evens as one of the key players on the kizomba scene, as the organizer of one of the most popular kizomba festivals – I'M YOUR DJ – and having already visited some of his festivals, I knew it could not turn bad, to say the least.
Mike Evens team is one of the best team-organizers in the dancing world. That must have been win-win trip anyway. Although I haven't skied for almost 10 years, that didn't stop me from going there.
The road trip took a bit over 6 hours. No snowfalls or stories. It was very easy to find the place. Everyone could communicate through a TEAM group in What'sApp with their suggestions, looking for each other, making plans or any other aspects related to the organization of the event. It was comfortable, quick and very useful. I got updated at once on every change, so I could react accordingly.
The atmosphere
In a familiar atmosphere, I got lost in the time. I lived a small life among the Alps in a little place that was my house for a while. Too many days for too few people (about 60) made us feel a real community, and I would rather say one family members. It is the smallest "festival" I have ever gone in my life!
That was a real relax time, laughing, making new friends, enjoying the wonderful nature panorame of Mont Blanc and bathing in the snow… At first, I wanted to interview Mike Evens for my blog, but the more time passed by, watching him in action, the more I realized I had nothing to ask him. I saw everything I needed written on his face: whatever he does in kizomba as an organizer or a teacher, he really enjoys doing it. He loves dancing!!! Therefore, first of all, to me Mike Evens is a dancer. Full of energy he is always there being present in complete access for the guests. But it's not just him, it's all his friends and team being the same way crazily energizing the public. If you once go to his event, you will follow him forever.
Pure emotion
Please, note, I'm not writing these compliments to Mike Evens as a promotion for his new edition of Skizomba or any other of his kizomba festivals. This opinion is my pure emotion and impression on what I experienced in the last days. I'd say more: he injured his shoulder on the ski slope, and the same night afterwards I saw him taxi-dancing nonstop with the bandaged hand!! I saw him jumping, starting the audience and singing and I was astonished! No words but thanking Mike Evens, Kal and Estelle for the great job!
If you ever decide to go to Skizomba, keep in your mind, this is not a simply dancing festival; this is your Holidays time to disconnect from the rest of the world. I would also advice you to visit the small village of Chaminix, to have a meal there outside watching the mountains at the background…
Now I'm back home, but still in my mind in that small village in the mountains having hot wine and chilling with people that share the same passion with me.

text: Eleven collodion wet plate portraits made with color anodized aluminum. The strobe light was so bright I didn't want to photograph innocent subjects who might not be careful enough to avoid looking at the 5000 watt seconds of lights when they flashed. So I used the only subject who I trusted – my assistant Nick. They are mounted in a carefully spaced overlapping pattern and stand off the black velvet background in a 18.5″ x 22.5″ frame. Signed, titled and dated on the verso of each plate and the back of the frame – 2012.

Lonely Atom Records, a new artist run/artist motivated record label, has launched an Indiegogo campaign to kick off their inaugural series of 7″ records, Radical Chemicals.
The series aims to highlight some of the best up and coming bands from the NYC/Tristate area, while keeping the costs for listeners low by using a network of DIY visual artists/craftspeople, and upfront costs for bands participating to $0 out of pocket for this project from tracking through pressing (which is the whole point!).
The bands signed for this project so far include The Pandemics, InCircles, American Pinup and Karikatura with more to come as the project continues.
You can find more about the label and their Indiegogo campaign, as well as help out with costs, right here.

I visited and reported on this show last year and had such a great time I vowed to make the trip back up to New York's Catskill mountains just outside of Albany to revisit it this year, and I am happy I did.
This was the sixth annual Rats Nest Run-In but only the second for me, it's a counter culture car show which features predominantly pre 1965 vehicles that are rebuilt by their owners from spare parts of numerous other cars that have been pieced together in all sorts of interesting and imaginary way's.
The crowd and the mood of this marvelous event is also decidedly counter culture and as diverse as the cars, it's a really nice mix of old and young hot rodders ranging from infants to the infirmed, there are families with children, psychobilly greasers, and crusty punks walking the large field filled with an endless number of cars, one more interesting than the other.
Dozens and dozens of vendors line the field hawking car parts, tattoo art, retro-rockabilly clothing, and all sorts of interesting crafts and wares that catch your eye, I could have spent a whole day just shopping, but I had bands to see.
Large crowds gather and disperse from the stage (An old semi trailer) as the bands, burlesque performers, and pinup girl contest make their way on and off like clockwork giving the crowd some sort of new sonic or visual adventure every 30-40 minutes or so.
Upon my arrival on Friday I caught a set by The Bothers, a Brooklyn based Rockabilly Roots band that really had it together, they were tight, fun and looked the part with their slicked back hair, high cuffed jeans and tight t shirts…Another great Rockabilly act was Lara Hope and The Arktones featuring Matt Goldpaw of the Arkhams on stand up base, While front gal Lara belted out song after song in a sweet rockin' voice that was undeniably fitting for this show.
Later when the show moved inside I caught a stellar set by solo artist Kyle Trocolla that blew us all away with his alt country sound and punk lyrics, I am a fan of this genre and I was delighted by this heartfelt gravel voiced set…Next up on the inside stage we saw another new band (new to me anyway) called Pitchfork Militia who delivered a very high energy set and entertained the audience with antics like using a toy fire truck as a guitar slide. Then came The Creepin Cadavers who were an all out Psychobilly assault that was pure high energy fun…And one of my new favorite bands as of that night is The Grizzly Band who came up from Texas and delivered a phenominal alt country set complete with steel guitar, truckers caps, and long beards, all of which added to their authentic sound and feel, and the last band of the evening was again an unexpected surprise called Those Crosstown Rivals who do a punky southern rock, that included hints of classic southern rock with the edge of punk and hints of country that never leaned to much in any direction, lets just say I liked them.
Saturday brought more of the same, so many interesting cars, burlesque and side show acts, and more great music by acts like the rockabilly band Whiskey Kill who did a killer classic rockabilly set, and a really fun and really good Surf band called The Sci Flies who played all the old surf classics while wearing matching Fly masks, later both on the outdoor stage, and again on the indoor stage, American Pinup performed remarkably flawless sets that brought the crowds right to the front of the stage to hear their sets, American Pinup also played this event last year and is an obvious crowd favorite. Finally the night was topped off by the Koffin Kats who as they always do delivered an hour plus of high octane Psychobilly that brought the house down with their unmatched onstage showmanship and operatic vocals that place them at the top of their genre…Thus the evening came to an end.
Sunday we all licked our wounds from the night before, waited to long in line for breakfast then sat in the sun with a lemonade and watched repeat performances by Whiskey Kill, American Pinup, The Bothers and Lara Hope and The Arktones…while awaiting lunch at the free, That's right free Pig Roast and Tiki Pool Party…by this time much of the crowd had dispersed and headed home leaving maybe 500 or so of us left to enjoy the roasted pigs, nurse our hangovers and listen to more really great music.
This was once again a wonderful weekend and I hope to attend it again next year…I just hope my liver can survive it.

Last weekend I took a road trip with a couple friends to a tiny town called East Durham NY about 2 hours north of New York City close to Albany for the 5th annual Rat's Nest Run-In car show knowing that one of my favorite bands American Pinup was playing, and thinking an old time car show would be a nice outing. As it happened it was an all-out amazingly good time that exceeded all of my expectations.
The Rats Nest Run-In which I thought was a strange name pertains to "Rat Rods" which if you don't know (I didn't) is an old rusted Frankenstein of a car or truck that is most often created by its owner and many times out of junk…They are amazing, the creativity of these guys who are both young and old really blew my mind, and was something to see. And next to the cars comes the party, put 2,000 or so Hot Rodder/Psychobilly types together with an amazing line up of music and cheap beer for three day's and you are in for a good time…The Trophy's were pinstriped bottles of Moonshine!
The Show featured about 20 or so bands who started around noon playing outdoors until about 7 or 8 pm along with a Burlesque show and pinup girl contest followed by a full fireworks show at nine. The music and more Burlesque then continued in the indoor lounge which held approximately 450-500 people and rocked until about four in the morning, so I'm told ( I didn't make it until the end) and it featured a really great mix of old style Rockabilly by bands like Whiskey Kill as well as more modern Psychobilly by The Creepin' Cadavers a Killer alt-country band called Slaughter House Chorus, as well as a really great punk set by Bourbon Scum, not to mention a couple of awesome sets by American Pinup which was of course my reason for driving 2 hours north to begin with. Another band who has become my new favorite band since this last weekend was New Hampshire's Dressed For The Occasion who have a great heartfelt punk and roll kinda country sound that really doesn't choose a genre. Remember that name…Dressed For The Occasion, If my spidey senses tell me anything it's that they may be the next Gaslight Anthem on the horizon.
After the show I was able to get ahold of organizer Travis Myers. That's right the same Travis Myers from Altercation Records who is responsible for Upstart Fest, The Altercation Punk Rock BBQ and The Altercation Punk Comedy Tour who simply said in his rough Bronx accent " Hey if you like really cool cars, and you like really great music you came to the right place kid" And that pretty much sums up the weekend, hundreds of really cool and interesting cars coupled with a really great line up of bands will make for an incredible time, and I look forward to attending next year's Rats nest Run-In which I am told will be held again at The Blackthorne Resort in the tiny town of East Durham NY around the same time next August.

Haven't decided whether you'll be heading out to the 2014 edition of the Vans Warped Tour? This probably won't make or break your decision, but eleven more bands were added to the lineup today. Here goes: Lionize, The Lost Boys, Sleeper Agent, ACIDIC, American Pin-Up, DJ Scout, Fit For A King, Lost In Society, Mod Sun and Scare Don't Fear.

Our friends at Altercation Records have just announced that three more bands will be attending this years Altercation Punk Rock BBQ to be held on March 15th in Austin Texas and those bands are:
Texas' own Riverboat Gamblers, New Jersey's Lost in Society, and New York's American Pinup…The Altercation Punk Rock BBQ now in it's 4th year has become the must attend event for all fans of punk & roll during the SXSW music conference…admission as always is free for all ages.
Doors are at 12 Noon at The Vortex in Austin TX…for more info go to the official website.
When the sun's out and I'm feeling carefree I love my ska and pop-punk. When I'm feeling nostalgic and wistful I skew towards Menzingers or emo. When I've had three cups of coffee and need an outlet for the nebulous discontentment that silently builds behind the exterior of my stoic demeanor I turn towards hardcore-punk. That's where I'm at this morning so when a request to check out the debut album from Californian skate-punk/hardcore act Facelift hit my inbox it was perfectly timed. This music is raw. It's fast as hell. And it's f'ing pissed off. Oh, and it's riddled with metallic riff breakdowns which absolutely clinched it for me (give it 2:20 into the album opener to see what I mean). Turn up the volume and let off some steam with me by streaming "Sinceforevertilwhenever" here.

ViMa reveals towering vision for Madagascar
Developer Vision Madagascar (ViMa) is building a high-rise tower in its Explorer Business Park, which it hopes will spark hi-tech investments, as company president Zouzar Bouka tells Natasha Turak.
Madagascar generally conjures images of exotic animals, balmy beaches or the vanilla pod on an ice-cream container indicating high-quality flavour – the country is, after all, the world's second largest exporter of the flavouring. Agriculture, fishing and forestry are the mainstay of its economy. But for an island of 25 million people – 60% of them under the age of 25 – high-value job creation is crucial to growth.
Numerous countries have realised the importance of business parks to attracting the foreign investment key to creating these jobs, and a major local developer in this sector is Vision Madagascar (ViMa). The privately held national leader in property development, forestry and energy employs 300 people around the country. In 2000, ViMa took on development of the Explorer Business Park (EBP) in the capital, Antananarivo, which it grew from a €1m acquisition of 3 hectares of land to a multi-use commercial business space. Home to more than 40 companies and several foreign embassies, today it is worth more than €20m.
Reaching for the sky
Zouzar Bouka, president of ViMa, is behind not only the EBP but also a new development within the park, the Explorer Tower (ET). Slated to begin construction in April 2018, the ET will be a 26-storey mixed-use tower set on 6000 square metres of business park land, at an initial investment of $30m. Out of its planned 30,000 square metres, 10,000 square metres is dedicated space for what will be its anchor tenant, French multinational Teleperformance, which specialises in BPO.
Teleperformance, which already employs 200 people in the EBP, is set to expand its current facility to a second building of 1600 square metres – its expansion stock – with the capacity for 200 extra staff while it waits for the ET to be built, which will be able to house a further 1000 staff. Essentially, the company's expansion requirement is being met by ViMa's development plans, which in turn will be able to launch the tallest high-rise in the country thanks to such a collaboration.
While negotiations are ongoing, Mr Bouka says Teleperformance has signed the memorandum of understanding for the tenancy occupying one-third of the planned tower. "We want to leverage the fact that Teleperformance is there, to create the best tower in Madagascar," he says. "That's my goal. That is why I'm using the best architects and trying to have a very environmentally sound building, plus offer facilities such as a gym, a racquetball court, a wellness centre, other offices, solar panels, etc. I really want to create the type of building you would see in London or Paris."
Changing perceptions
ViMa's aim is to transform the capital's skyline and to change the perception that as a developing country, Madagascar cannot offer high-quality, modern and environmentally innovative commercial space. In a country with a poverty rate of 70%, the developers at ViMa are keenly aware of the importance of attracting and keeping high-value job creators.
The process of financing for the tower is currently ongoing as ViMa looks for partners to fund the project. "Right now we have the land and the architect who has already prepared the plans," says Mr Bouka, referring to UK firm CH+MRP Architects. "We'll need to go fast because Teleperformance will need more space – already in one year it has expanded to nearly 4000 square metres of building space. We'll get our financing and permit before April so we can start the construction."
Central to ViMa and Mr Bouka's vision is the pursuit of environmental sustainability. "The outdoor areas, high ceilings and bioclimatic facades respond to the tower's orientation and enable maximum natural light to penetrate work areas without over-heating or over-reliance on air conditioning," according to a design brief from CH+MRP. Other aspects of the tower's design will aim to make it as close to carbon neutral as possible.
Tenants in the EBP's 13 buildings currently include the Moroccan and Norwegian embassies, the African Union representative office, the Thai and Australian consulates, the American Chamber of Commerce, and several multinationals including Airtel, Nokia, Chinese state-owned companies CRBC and CHEC, French banking group BRCE and UK office space provider Regus.
"One of the things I want to do with this building, in the follow-up with Teleperformance, is to attract similar kinds of companies: data centres, TV stations, other information and communications technology providers and international institutions that can afford to be in that kind of very hi-tech environment," says Mr Bouka.
More than 90% of Teleperformance's existing staff are Malagasy, and the company's projected expansion, like ViMa's construction goals, are a positive sign of further development in the country.

Justice Lodha: India vs New Zealand series will not get cancelled :- The ongoing series between India and New Zealand is in under big threat and there is the possibility that it might get canceled. The Lodha Committee asked the two banks to freeze the bank account of BCCI. According to the reports, Lodha Committee wrote and email to BCCI regarding and even send an email to Yes Banks and Bank of Maharashtra to freeze BCCI's account.
Both these banks have to agree as they must be aware of the fact that Lodha Committee is sanctioned by the Supreme Court. An official of BCCI informed media wing that " we are helpless as if, they will seize our Bank account then how we will be able to pay the money to the touring Cricket team board (New Zealand Cricket Board). There is a possibility that the remaining one Test match and 5 ODI will be canceled."
Meanwhile, another senior member of BCCI slammed Lodha Committee for taking actions like this. He said " they are only interested in doing whatever they want to irrespective of knowing other prospects of Cricket game. Even, the whole Indian cricketing season is under big threat. It is the BCCI's money and they are only investing it for the betterment of World Cricket and India's infrastructure."
The official of Lodha Panel talked to media wing and asked them to wait for the 6 October. The official said " we all have to wait for the 6th October 2016 and after everything will be sorted. Let's release New Zealand Cricket team honorably instead of making us fool throughout the world for not paying them a single money.
Although, in a recent interview Justice RM Lodha, clarifies that the series between India and New Zealand will go on. He said " we have not frozen the account of BCCI, but we asked them to not distribute the funds to any state association. They are absolutely free to continue their day to day expenses and all the matches will go on.
well, it has given all the cricket fans a reason to smile as ongoing series with New Zealand will continue.

Tears to a ligament can't simply be stitched together. A surgical reconstruction is needed to repair your UCL. To do that, our surgeons replace your torn ligament with a tissue graft, often a tendon from your own body, to promote new ligament tissue growth. If more conservative treatments aren't effective, Tommy John elbow reconstruction is an option. The name "Tommy John surgery" comes from the name of the professional baseball pitcher who first had this successful surgery in the 1970s. Now a common procedure, UCL or Tommy John elbow reconstruction enables you to regain the elbow strength and stability needed to continue to compete in sports.
At M Health, you will not only receive excellent care, but you will also receive advanced treatments with the ultimate goal of offering optimal outcomes. The leading-edge research conducted by our physicians may also offer you additional treatment advantages and access to clinical trials.

8pm Snow Update: How much expected where you live?
By late Saturday evening, after sunset, we could start to first see precipitation in our southern counties. A mix of rain and snow at first, transitioning into mostly snow overnight into Sunday.
The heaviest we'll see will be on Sunday, with a mixing of sleet at times. Several inches are likely to accumulate during the day. By Sunday evening, more of a mix of sleet and possibly some freezing rain will occur. A lingering and lighter wintry mix will be around on Monday before the storm pulls away.

On June 2-6, 1997, UCLA Extension will present the short course, "Wavelets, Fuzzy Logic, Chaos, and Neural Networks: Multiresolution Soft-Computing Principles and Applications", on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. The instructor is Harold Szu, PhD, Lamson Professor of Computer Science, University of Southwestern Louisiana, Lafayette, and Past President of the International Neural Network Society (INNS). This course presents the multiresolution soft-computing principles and applications of several different but related disciplines--wavelets, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and chaos--in the context of multiresolution granularity in human sensors system. This "soft-computing" with words instead of yes-or-no binary logic is useful for signal classification and compression, pattern recognition, control of engineering tolerance imprecision, and the prediction of fluctuating time series. Various applications in chaos, fuzzy logic, wavelet transforms and neural net learning are illustrated in terms of spatiotemporal information processing, such as: signal/image de-noise; signal classification; control device/machine chaos; communication coding; chaotic heart and biomedical applications; intelligent bisensors such as pacemakers and hearing aids; bomb 'sniffers'; and discrete wavelet transform subband coding for image compression. The course fee is $1495, which includes extensive course materials. These materials are for participants only, and are not for sale. For additional information and a complete course description, please contact Marcus Hennessy at: (310) 825-1047 (310) 206-2815 fax mhenness at unex.ucla.edu http://www.unex.ucla.edu/shortcourses This course may also be presented on-site at company locations.

Mission statement
Simavi. Basic health for all.
Simavi is an independent international non-profit organisation, striving for a world in which basic health is accessible to all. We want to have structurally improved basic health of 10 million people in marginalised communities in Africa and Asia by 2020. By doing so, we enable them to build a better existence and get out of poverty. We currently work in nine countries: Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, India, Tanzania, Ghana, Malawi, Uganda and Kenya. We know from experience that investments in water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are crucial for people to be able to lead a healthy life. Therefore we are specialised in these thematic areas.
Our unique approach consists of three integrated pillars: 1) empowering communities to demand quality services and to practice healthy behaviour; 2) creating a supportive enabling environment in which all stakeholders are aware of their roles and responsibilities, work together and can be held accountable; and 3) getting in place affordable, suitable and sustainable WASH and SRHR services that are actually utilized by the people. In our work we apply this threefold approach to realize impact that lasts. Simavi's strength lies in bringing together and connecting all different stakeholders: local communities, the private sector, governments, civil society organisations, knowledge institutions, donors and supporters. Because only together we can make a structural difference.

Our Mission
NEST's history of transforming blighted and vacant properties in targeted areas of Northside into opportunities for new homeownership has continued to result in healthy property values, safer streets and a greater sense of community. We take on projects that have lasting impact – we develop with the head and the heart.
NEST explores the old and the new Northside – the historic and the modern.
We celebrate the human side of redevelopment.
We invest in the lives behind the buildings we develop.
Why We're Different
Northside isn't a one-size-fits-all type of neighborhood, and neither are NEST's housing projects.
Unlike most traditional development entities, NEST projects reflect the neighborhood's eclectic ethos and soulful sensibility. We want "progress" with conscience – and growth that's grounded in real values.
All NEST initiatives are tailored to meet the range and evolving needs of the Northside population.

The Agenda 2017
The Trump Administration is two weeks old and the President is delivering on his promises; none so much so as to make waves in Washington, D.C. However, those waves have been largely limited to executive actions – using his phone and his pen. Working with Congress is another story, and while the Vice President's office is on its way to full staff, the White House legislative affairs office still lacks a House or Senate Deputy.
The confirmation process always tests the Senate's bandwidth and has been particularly slow this year due to Senate Democrats expressing their discontent, but there is a long way to go with hundreds of nominations and confirmations still to come before this process is complete. The nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court adds another front in the partisan battles and an additional workload strain in the Senate. In case you missed it, my colleagues Mark Disler and Paul Brown shared insights on this particular act in the play.
The "100 Day" rubric is an artifice. Vice President Pence led the transition based on a "200 Day" calendar. Looking at 2017 is a much more useful frame of reference for the rest of us. Healthcare Reform and Tax Reform still top the agenda in Washington. Clichés are clichés for a reason and the devil is always in the details, just like governing is harder than campaigning.
House GOP Leadership distributed to their members a calendar of deadlines and goals that will drive part of the agenda from Capitol Hill (reproduced below for you). This list denotes some hard deadlines, like the expiration of the current Continuing Resolution (4/28/2017). It also reflects targets for action, like FY2018 National Defense Authorization for consideration in the House in June.
Beyond throughput limitations on work product, a president's agenda is always impacted by events that arise, which will require adjustment of priorities.

Mountain bike wheel sizes: 26in, 650b and 29in explained
How to choose the right wheel size for you
It used to be so simple. Mountain bikes had 26in wheels and that was that. It had been that way since 26in wheeled beach cruiser bikes were first raced down Californian mountains and, apart from occasional experiments, it stayed that way for more than years.
Then development dynamo and marketing genius Gary Fisher started pushing 29er wheels on his bikes. Fisher certainly wasn't the first convert but he was backed by the massive manufacturing, ordering and selling power of Trek Bicycles. As the initial handling and equipment issues were gradually sorted out 29ers gained momentum and more and more brands eventually jumped on the 'wagon wheel' bandwagon.
29in wheels aren't great for everything though, and with the 26in stranglehold broken, other innovators revived the intermediate 650b (aka 27.5in) wheel size in a mountain bike format that potentially promised the best of both worlds.
Eager to repeat the new bike sales surge created by 29er wheels, fast-reacting companies jumped on the new 650b size. The new bikes look better, handle better, fit more people and more riding styles and, almost overnight, 650b is pushing 26in wheels to the brink of extinction.
But what are the real differences in how wheel sizes ride and which one is the best for you?
The original wheel size might have been an accidental standard based on beach cruisers, but it still has a lot going for it.
For a start, smaller diameter rims and shorter spokes mean 26in wheels can be made lighter and more responsive than other sizes. That means a more agile feeling, faster accelerating bike on smooth surfaces.
They can also be made stiffer and stronger too, which is why most top downhill riders are still sticking with 26in wheels.
Spares are much easier to find than 29in and far far more common than 650b replacements. That makes it much easier to get going again if you puncture a tube, tear a tyre or crumple a wheel far from home. That's obviously another bonus for downillers and jump bike riders, who are the most likely to destroy their gear. Lots of shops are already selling 26in frames and components cheap too, so there are tons of upgrade bargains about.
Because they hit stuff at a steeper angle and drop into holes easier they clatter and lose speed more rapidly than bigger wheels in the rough though. They're not as stable steering or as grippy as 650B or 29er formats of the same tyres either.
- Can be made lighter, stiffer and stronger than other sizes
- Loads of existing 26in wheels, tyres, forks and bikes makes spares cheap and easy to find
- Feels lumpier and stalls easier than bigger wheels on rough terrain
650b / 27.5in
29ers certainly made it easier for the MTB industry to introduce a third wheel size, but we're still shocked how fast 650B has been accepted.
The first thing to realise is that the wheels aren't actually 27.5in but closer to 27in. As a result they're significantly faster to accelerate and easier to flick around than a bigger 29er wheel.
There's less steering inertia and flex in the handling too, so handling feels more responsive and balanced. The wheels are still small enough to work with long travel suspension frames and forks without them feeling or looking weird.
650B tyres still roll over rough ground more smoothly and grip noticeably better than 26in equivalents, although not as well as 29in wheels.
Because the new wheel size has been introduced so suddenly, most manufacturers are struggling to make enough bits for complete bikes, let alone extras for shop stocks. That means spares are a lot harder to find in a hurry so stocking up in advance is wise. As supplies are tight don't expect to get bits cheap either. Most manufacturers are still concentrating their 650B efforts on 'trail' and 'enduro' bikes too, so specialist cross-country and downhill machines are thin on the ground.
- Faster accelerating, stronger, stiffer and more agile than 29in but noticeably smoother than 26in
- Handling and wheel placement feels a lot more natural than 29er wheels
- Spare tubes, tyres, wheels and other stuff are still really hard to find in a lot of shops
The wheel that broke the stranglehold of 26in produces a very different feel. Because 29er wheels are larger, they're generally heavier and harder to get moving.
Their size and stability also means it's taken a while for bike designers to make big wheeled bikes handle in a fun way. They're still harder to hustle on really tight twisty or jump and pump trails compared to smaller wheels. It's also more difficult to make big wheels and small frames or long travel suspension fit together too. Crucially, because they're not as quick to get going and their smoothness dulls the sensation of speed they often feel much slower than they actually are. Add sometimes awkward looks and it's easy to see why 29ers took a while to catch on.
Once rolling though 29er tyres hit rocks and roots at a shallower angle and with more momentum so they roll over the top easier. The longer contact patch means any given tyre grips better or you can run slicker, speedier rubber without slipping. Add their natural extra stability and they're perfect for powering straight through trouble at high speed.
There's a full range of different styles of 29er bikes to choose from now too, although most are still focused on the cross-country and trail categories.
- Smoother, grippier and more stable for better control on rough terrain
- Slower to get moving but hold their speed better once rolling
- Feel awkward on tighter, slower trails and harder to sync with long suspension or short riders
How to choose the right wheel size for you
So where do you fit into this three ring circus and which diameter is dialled for your riding?
The biggest question right now is whether it's worth buying a new 26in wheeled bike. The short answer is only if you desperately need a new downhill bike. The smallest wheel size is still the strongest where strength matters most and while several companies are experimenting with 650b downhill bikes and gear they're still mostly at prototype stage.
You'll also struggle to find 650b or 29er bikes for really budget prices too, although that might change when 2015 bikes are released.
So is 29er doomed to disappear soon too? Not if you're either just starting out or want to finish first. Cross-country riders are definitely going to stick with bigger wheels simply because they're faster on less technical, high speed race courses and open trails. As they roll over stuff smoother with better grip and stability they also make a lot of sense for less confident or novice riders. They also reduce the arse-kicking issues of hard tail bikes which again ties in with both cross-country race and novice users.
Otherwise 650B is definitely where all the current frame, fork, wheel and tyre development is now focused for trail and enduro bikes plus an increasing number of cross-country machines. As they're often totally fresh designs you get the latest performance boosting technologies as standard. The resulting blend of agility and smoothness really does seem to offer the best of both worlds to the widest range of riders, particularly those after maximum fun and versatility from their MTBs.
So while it might cause confusion at first, by letting you ride faster, safer and further to cram more fun potential into every meter of trail, reinventing the wheel has turned out to be a really good idea.

TeamViewer, popular screen sharing, file-sharing, and remote support software has been updated to version 9 with new features and improvements. TeamViewer 9 is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.
TeamViewer 9 features
Ability to open multiple connections in different tabs, wake-on-LAN to wake up your Windows, Mac, or Linux computer remotely, two-factor authentication for better security, save customized quick support and quick join modules with your company branding, and copy & paste files from one computer to another are some of the new features introduced with this version of free for personal use remote support software.
It's now also possible to send files to contacts in your list without having to restore your remote session. The computers and contact list now shows notifications such as new contact request and new service cases when they are available.
TeamViewer 9 is fully compatible with Windows 8.1 and OS X Mavericks operating systems. That said, it runs smoothly on the latest Windows 10 operating system as well.
Even though the user interface has not seen major changes, TeamViewer 9 includes a touch-friendly design for touch devices. When you install and run TeamViewer on a touch device, buttons designed for touch screen appear instead of regular ones.
Before you jump to the download page, please note that even though it's possible to establish a remote connection from TeamViewer 9 to previous versions (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8), it's not possible to establish a remote connection from previous versions to version 9. For instance, you can't establish a remote connection from TeamViewer 8 to version 9. In order to establish a connection to version 9, you have to update to TeamViewer 9.
The other cool feature is that you can create a desktop shortcut to any remote computer so you can quickly establish a connection without having to manually launch the program.

By Mary Pelletier
A quick Google search reveals an oft-repeated, neat little biography for Karimeh Abbud, complete with an image of her, stood next to a large-format camera, shutter release in hand. Karimeh was allegedly the first female photographer in Palestine, born in 1896 to an esteemed, intellectual family who resided in Bethlehem. She also went by the title 'Lady Photographer', and proudly stamped the moniker on her prints. Seeing this calling card, I was hooked – how had Karimeh managed to make her mark in the old boys' club of Holy Land photography practice?
The biographical information about Karimeh online was surprisingly one-dimensional. She had worked throughout Palestine, making her studio in Nazareth, Bethlehem and Jerusalem, specialising in photographs of women and families. Articles stated her importance with certainty, but I was curious as to the source of this information – did it come from her family? Who had declared her the 'first' Palestinian female photographer, or as some claimed, the first female to run a photographic business in the Middle East? What had happened to her photographs, and why weren't they in a museum collection somewhere?
With funding from the PEF, I got right down to asking anyone in Bethlehem and Jerusalem with photography knowledge who would listen – where can I find Karimeh Abbud and her photographs? Articles from the Jerusalem Quarterly and online sources cited the Nazareth Archive Project and Ahmad Mrowat as being the source of the research. The Nazareth Archive Project was said to house Karimeh's work, but phone numbers to Mrowat were disconnected, as were phone numbers I tracked down for family members who were said to have helped compile this initial information, circa 2007.
Karimeh's name seemed to be one that everyone knew – but no one knew much about. One Palestinian photography collector let out a long sigh when I asked him what he knew of Karimeh's work, citing that her reputation had been overblown – her studio photographs were nothing special, photographically speaking. I disagreed – I had been attracted to Abbud's photographs because those I had seen online seemed much more intimate than the stage-y, directed portraiture of Jerusalem photographers like Khalil Ra'ad.
Looking at photographs from Issam Nassar's collection, reproduced here, the subjects of her photographs seem to exude a comfort, both with their partners and with the photographer herself – as though the taking of the picture is not a transaction, but instead a sort of collaborative effort. (Nassar has written further on Abbud in the larger context of Middle Eastern portraiture in the Jerusalem Quarterly, cited below).
That skeptical collector also put me in touch with Rev. Mitri Raheb, head of Bethlehem's Evangelical Lutheran Church, and, as it turned out, Karimeh's unintentional biographer.
Meeting with Rev. Raheb helped to set some things straight about Karimeh's biography – his book, a limited-print run paperback written in Arabic and with a foreword by Ahmad Mrowat, charts her life through Lutheran church records. He sets a clear picture of her life's trajectory, her family life, the chances afforded her by her family's status, even her marriage – many things left out of any online articles. All of the context afforded by Rev. Raheb's publication is important, especially when considering the style of Karimeh's subjects and her mobility.
The images in the book had come from two Abbud family photographic albums. These two undated images, taken by Abbud herself, are reproduced on pages 94 & 95 of Raheb's publication and demonstrate Abbud's signature portraiture environment – the women here are comfortable with each other, but also with Abbud's presence. It is obvious in both images that their proximity to one another demonstrate a close relationship – most likely mother and daughters, and then the two sisters, alone – but we also see that Abbud treated her familial subjects in the same way she treated her paying clients, and vice versa – there is a warm professionalism that plays out in each of these different sets of images.
It is the foreword by Mrowat in this text that seemed curious to me, however. Where earlier articles by Mrowat stated he had acquired 'some 400' Abbud photographs from an Israeli photography collector, this text (published 2011) noted a legal case brought against him by the same Israeli collector. He states that the collector had no right to keep the photos, as he was not related to her in any way. This calls into question the amount of weight placed on earlier claims for the archive in his articles – who actually owned the pictures that were being written about, did the author have permission from the owner(s) to use them, and were the claims accurate? Does the Nazareth Archive Project exist outside of articles bearing its name?
There are many outstanding questions I am in the process of answering – beginning with gaining access to the 'some 400' photographs that were the subject of this legal case. A 'Part 2' will be forthcoming!

With this body detox program completed -- the 5-day Panchakarma -- I feel a big improvement in my overall body energy and function. I don't get that exhausted feeling and energetically, I have much more stable energy throughout the day.
My morning cup of coffee used to take my energy up and down, now it is consistent throughout the day without caffeine. The caffeine withdrawal headaches were nasty but necessary to get to this new place.
To my surprise it affected me not only physically but mentally as well which I wasn't aware of. It is said that the "issues are in the tissues" and they definitely came out. I was irritated easily and over-reacted to life in general but that is no longer the case and I still feel quite relaxed.
I carried a lot of tension in my face and upper shoulders and the daily massages relaxed me very dramatically, my whole body's circulation improved and my face looks uplifted and glowing.
One additional treatment, nasya opened my sinuses and nasal passages that I didn't even realize were clogged. I still breathe clearly through the nose and continue with the netti pot regularly to keep the pathways opened. Another treatment called Shirodhara was unbelievably relaxing and calming for my busy mind. It settled the constant thinking mind and profoundly relaxed my nerves.
Ileana's warm hearted care gave my experience of panchakarma a very positive and secure holding environment. No doctor or drug could have ever brought about the dramatic changes I have felt and it still continues. I would highly recommend this process to prevent the disease process from taking hold in your body and to revitalize oneself on all levels!
