Andrew: Coming from a running background and now crossing into triathlon, define suffering...is suffering in Triathlon and Running the same?
Jeff: Suffering…for me suffering has always been when physical or mental performance begins to decline due to the high stress levels a race can place on the body and mind. Suffering for me has definitely been different in running than triathlon.
In regards to the mental aspect of suffering for me it is totally different between (only running), and triathlon running. If I'm doing a running only race, I find myself wanting it to end as soon as possible. That mindset probably creates more physical problems because I think about how much it hurts. In triathlon I am quite the opposite. Because the run is where I can gain time on competitors I don't want it to end. The longer we have to go the better. Mentally it is a huge plus because I wouldn't want the race to end unless I'd gotten a chance to get to the front.
Andrew: What do you tell your friends when they:
- want to go out for a beer close to a race?
- want to go to an event and you have a big workout to get in?
- ask you how you are doing (and you are wasted from the days workouts)?
Jeff: The social life…oh boy. There's no doubt my time is restricted when I'm into full training mode. If it's during the school year I'm spending 40 hours a week working on top of 20-30 hours a week in total training time while trying to be a good husband and father of two young children. If a friend wants to go for a beer close to a race, I'll do what I almost always do when something comes up...I'll ask my wife for permission.
Honestly, I don't think there are many events as important to me as some of the big races. I've invested so much time and sacrificed so much that it would not be worth missing a key workout unless the schedule allowed for the workout to be moved easily to a different day. When they ask how I'm doing after a tough day of workouts I normally tell them what I did and I don't have to say much more than that.
Andrew: What drives you?
Jeff: I've always loved to compete. I played about every sport out there growing up…even soccer which I terribly regret. One thing was always constant regardless of the sport I was competing in…I loved to compete and hated losing. It didn't matter if I was racing my brother through a word search during church service, trying to throw the football through the tire swing in the back yard, playing one on one basketball games in the snow covered driveway…I loved to compete.
Two years ago, I started the summer at nearly 200 lbs. I'd been a recreational triathlete the past few summers. I almost decided to not race that summer because I was so fat and out of shape. Through the summer I lost about 25 lbs. and began having success in races. I started wondering how good I could be if I devoted everything.
Andrew: Pertaining to your big race career that is just starting; would you rather have a career in triathlon of mainly mid pack (5th-10th place finishes) with one or two big wins or consistent podiums, but lacking the crown of race champion?
Jeff: If I had to choose between a career of consistent podium finishes or a bunch of mid-pack finishes with one or two big wins I'd definitely go with the mid-pack finishes with one-two big wins. This may be different if I stopped teaching and needed to be on the podium to support myself and my family financially.
Andrew: If you had the opportunity to have the talent of 1 athlete for one day, who would it be and why (PS: it does not have to be a triathlete)?
Jeff: If I could have another athlete's talent for a day it would be Michael Phelps. I would use that talent to feel what it is like to swim much faster than I'm capable of. My hope is that by feeling the water like he does I'll be able to do it myself when his talent leaves me. I see such tiny improvements with my swimming month after month and I feel it must be technique related. I watch videos of myself, videos of other…Phelps included, practice drills and technique…and I feel the same speed week after week. I'd like to have his talent for one day, but then learn from that experience so I can be faster for the rest of my life.
Thanks guys for phenomenal questions and responses. Great insights from both of you. I know both of you are dealing with setbacks in the form of injuries right now. Know that Evotri is behind you and wishes both of you a speedy recovery. For updates, check out Andrew's Blog and Jeff's as well. Both are excellent reads.

It has been a while since my last update, on something of a high after setting a new PB at the Salisbury 10-mile run race in early March. Since then both quite a lot and not very much(!) has happened.
Recently I was fortunate to be one of only nine amateur athletes to be selected from a field of over 900 applicants to take part in Science in Sport's (SiS) 'Winter Academy'. The idea behind the scheme is to take a handful of us amateurs and give us the opportunity to both work with nutritionists and product experts at SiS, as well as sample some of their different products to see how they work for us.

Aryan Invasion Theory
>> The Indus Valley civilization, one of the oldest in the world, goes back at least 5,000 years. Aryan tribes from the northwest invaded about 1500 B.C.; their merger with the earlier inhabitants created the classical Indian culture. <<

Santa Monica and Southern California in general are places where frankly the first go-to meal thought is often fish, veggies and a cold drink with ice. Steakhouse is not a first consideration, let's be honest. And yet, there is a fantastic variety of cuisine in the golden state offering all possibilities for the adventurous palate.
Case in point, BOA STEAKHOUSE in Santa Monica. This restaurant has been around for a decade but continues to be at the forefront of food and wine innovation. In fact, the Innovative Dining Group are behind not only BOA but many of the most exciting dining experiences in the city including Sushi Roku and Katana in Hollywood. What BOA keeps on delivering in the midst of our hyper kinetic world is a service group that understands what they are serving and can discuss the menu and wine list with confidence, something sorely lacking in so many establishments today.
For the traveller or local who is looking for an evening of variation let's start with a baklava of pistachio, honey and goat cheese. Pair this with a simple Proseco and you have started the meal in the best possible position. You could even lift off with either of the tartare options, tuna or prime steak, both offer loads of flavor to get the taste buds moving.
BOA has surf and it has turf. The restaurant gives any diner a chance to mix it up with friends and order both for a fuller experience. 40-year-old dry aged New York strip, bone-in Kansas City filet mignon each have a siren song for the meat-lover, but Japanese Wagyu and New Zealand lamb chops tempt a different road that will not disappoint. All turf has a choice of rub and sauce to finish the dish.
On the surf side, BOA has all the best-loved fish choices, including lobster, Chilean sea bass and jumbo sea scallops. The sides to each dish are generous and flavorful including truffle parmesan cauliflower, broccolini, and sautéed spinach. Signature sides run completely to comfort with mac-n-cheese that melts on the mouth and crab & black truffle gnocchi.
Where does all this leave us? Needing to find some room for dessert, that's where. Vanilla bean ice cream paired with large homemade chocolate chip/walnut cookies with a side of fresh hot fudge to dip. This would take some serious discipline not to blow off the diet and dip into this divine pot of chocolate.
The view from the restaurant has not yet been addressed but in simple terms, you are across the street from a sun setting over the ocean.
The next reservation to make is BOA in Santa Monica. This will be a night to savor.

Poland has proposed a draft resolution at the UN Security Council with a claim to recognize the crimes committed by Ukrainian nationalists against Polish citizens during the World War II as act of genocide.
In the draft resolution Poland expressed grave concern that 'the Ukrainian government supports the Ukrainian nationalists, carried out ethnic cleansing during the World War II'. Warsaw calls the Security Council for drawing a confession from Kiev of historic truth, rejecting the glorification of the criminals and bringing them to the international tribunal. While developing the draft resolution, Poland gave special priority to 'significant level of the influence of Ukrainian neo-Nazi organizations on the external and internal political agenda of the Ukrainian commonwealth' and required Ukraine to ban the activity of the nationalist organizations in that country, conduct disarmament of Ukrainian radical armed units and start criminal prosecution against their members.
It is worth noting that the matter of genocide against Polish population by Ukrainian nationalists has long ago brought discord in the good neighbor relations between the two countries. So, in 2016, Polish parliament declared activities of Ukrainian nationalist organizations OUN and UPA in 1943-1945 against Poles to be genocide. Ukrainian authorities known for glorifying leaders of those organizations condemned the 'anti-Ukrainian' decision of Polish authorities and came forward with an initiative to recognize the activities of Poland against Ukrainians in 1919-1951 as genocide. Also, Poland has recently declared the possibility of imposing a ban for citizens of Ukraine who are sticking to 'anti-Polish position' in the matters of interpreting general history.
However, it never went beyond exchanging loud statements and adopting unilateral decisions until recently. Now Poland has brought up this point to the highest level trying to involve the entire world community into resolving the conflict between these two states. Therefore, in case Poland finally succeeds in transferring this draft resolution to the stage of active consideration at the UN Security Council, that will give Poland some certain leverage in the controversy with Ukraine over historic truth.

Btw, we have the special Poland watch tread and Ukraine watch thread...
As for this Polish-Ukrainian split - this was 100% predictable. Both countries are ruled by fierce nationalists with a bunch of mutual claims to each other. In addition, Poles are very proud nation (to put it mildly) and historically perceived Ukrainians as "bydlo" - serfs. These feelings were only refreshed with current stream of cheap labor from Ukraine. I've read the news about Polish employers forcing Ukrainian workers to wear blue-yellow clothes to humiliate them...
The only thing that united two nations was their common hate to Russia - the very fragile foundation for the long-term friendship.

The statement – "God is dead" is found several times in the writings of German philosopher Nietzche and was popularised in April 1966 when Time magazine ran with the cover story "Is God Dead?" Nietzche himself was more concerned with the western world's historic reliance on religion to provide a moral compass and meaning for life. He feared that without a higher morality the world would descend into an age of nihilism with no purpose or moral certainty. Popularly the statement is taken to mean that God does not exist, indeed never has. A God who has never existed by definition can never die. A god who can die is not God, at least not in the Judeo – Christian – Muslim understanding of an eternal, all powerful, Creator who existed before all things and will ultimately judge all things.
It is the philosophical debate about the existence (or otherwise) of God that provides the underlying narrative of the film "God's not Dead " which was inspired by a book of the same name written by Rice Broocks. The hero of the film is freshman Josh Wheaton who is enrolled to study an introductory course in philosophy with the fearsome professor Jeremy Radisson who has a reputation for demolishing the faith of Christians in his class. In the opening lecture the students are presented with a list of highly regarded philosophers and scientists who share an atheist worldview. The class are invited to agree with the view that there is no God simply on the weight of opinion garnered by these great thinkers without any supporting evidence. One by one the class follow the instruction to write "God is Dead" on a sheet of paper, sign it and then submit it to Radisson and so skip the first part of the module. All, that is, apart from Wheaton who cannot bring himself to deny his belief in God due to his Christian convictions. The professor permits his dissent under one condition; that at the next three classes Wheaton should take the podium in front of his 80 classmates and defend his belief in God. Alongside Wheaton's developing argument we are introduced to a number of other character, each of whom has their own experience of God.
The target audience for both the book and the film are essentially Christians seeking help to defend their faith against the claims that science and reason have consigned it to history as a primitive and outmoded irrelevance. The film is a product of its American origin and so inevitably perhaps comes across as a little saccharin in places. Nevertheless it provides a good introduction to some of the more common objections to faith that British Christians also encounter, and will hopefully inspire them to read Broocks' book which provides more detailed and rigorous answers. It will also be beneficial to sympathetic enquirers. I fear that some of the underlying American culture will prove a hindrance to more cynical audiences.
Nevertheless I whole heartedly recommend the film to all. The story is well told and flows at a good place. Their are moments of humour and the audience I shared the film with clapped and cheered at several points during the film. Following a highly successful run in the US where the film was in the top 5 movies for three weeks in a row it will shortly be screened in UK cinemas. Initially it will be available at selected Showcase and Odeon cinemas between 18-28 April.

I've been thinking of the greater repercussions of torrents. Now we've all read articles touting both sides about torrents not harming entertainment sales and the exact opposite. Of course, people who take advantage of torrents will say that pirated torrents do not take away from traditional sales in any way. It's up to hollywood to make movies that make consumers want to pay. This is human nature. Essentially people are saying make movies donation ware and we all know how profitable donation ware is. The fact is, if you have something available for free there is no way to compel people to pay. Imagine a "pay what you feel" model of taxation. It just wont work. But I digress. I'm not here to advocate one or the other.
What I want to talk about here is stepping outside of the finger pointing and ask if there are really only pirates and original content manufacturers? We like to see things in terms of good guys and bad guys (or gals if you prefer). Here we have pirates versus the entertainment industry. Which side is good depends on which side you're on. I think we're looking at it wrong.
I see three major players on the provider side and one consumer side. For content providers we have the entertainment industry, pirates after profit, and hobbyist pirates. Naturally, hobbyist pirates include consumers with varying levels of participation.
The pirates after profit have their own distribution channel and ties to some kind of organized crime (otherwise they wouldn't be able to distribute it, even if their distribution was digital, and earn a profit). They can take any number of forms from the illegal street peddlers on up. Hobbyist pirates are not gaining any income. They may be doing it to fill their own needs as a consumer or out of some kind of twisted altruism. Some may even just be craving some kind of indirect peer recognition.
I see hobbyist pirates competing primarily with the real pirates first rather than the entertainment industry. Why get pirated media from peddlers? First there's the risk of arrest and a paper trail left by any kind of monetary transaction. Not to mention the act of paying for something that could be "free".
Torrents are slowly closing in on the art of reappropriating content and packaging it as your own for fun and profit. In other words, torrents first and foremost cannibalize the latent piracy market. Of course, on the other hand it turns people normally averse to illegal activity into offenders but that's another topic.
Sometimes I wonder if the industry's fight against napster, kazaa and the other "centralized" peer to peer sharing networks was really a victory. At least back then you had a central go to service that you could control. On top of that you basically had a lot of bogus content. Not just misleading content but downright malicious files. It was a dirty business full of risks even for those that partook in the piracy and the general content of stuff was low (partly due to the bandwidth and technology available).
All it took was one brilliant programmer to make peer to peer truly peer to peer and make it hard to crack down on illegal consumers as a group. That's the crazy thing about torrents: larger files, higher quality, less risk and using load-balanced/distributed resources.
It still leaves a bunch of questions unanswered. Obviously, the entertainment industry will never enjoy a golden age of profits unless they come up with a totally new and compelling form of entertainment that simply cannot be reproduced on a personal computer or in a home environment that also has a high margin of profit. At the same time, now that we have an abundance of digital content, a lot of consumers don't realize that we no longer live with an ownership model for content. We've effectively moved on to a rental model of content. You don't own the movies and music on your hard drive, they own you! Don't believe me? Add the up the extended playing time of all the media you own and divide it by what's left of your life expectancy. The abundance of free stuff we can consume is bounded by the amount of time we have to live.
I think this is also one of the things feeding into the decline of hollywood. Even studio releases are more or less the equivalent of direct to video productions (the pre-2K b-movies). We're only onto a start. The next decade should be even more interesting. I think we're heading toward an indie model for content as witnessed by some of the more innovative stuff you find on places like YouTube.

I would like to change several default applications for files opened in Dolphin. I know I could do it manually with
kcmshell4 filetypes,
keditfiletype or however else but is there a way how to change file associations for Dolphin in terminal? Would be nice if I didn't have to do it manually for every single file type every time I change distribution.
kde-open successfully ignores everything set with
xdg-mime and all following files:
I guess one way how to solve this would be to detach Dolphin from using
kde-open and use
gnome-open or
gvfs-open instead but I have no idea how to do that, if possible.

A popular Netflix kids cartoon has set the internet ablaze after an eagle-eyed mum spotted a hidden cave drawing of a penis and shared her disgust on Facebook. Needless to say, people were stunned.
The wayward phallus was spotted by a furious mother, Chey Robinson while she was watching episode 35 of the popular animated kid's show Maya The Bee.
The scene in question saw Maya buzzing into a log to hide from the villains. Robinson was horrified to discover a cleverly hidden schlong drawn on the bark, and she captured the clip with her mobile phone and shared it on her social media.
The clip was accompanied with the caption: "Smh [Shaking my head], please be mindful of what your kids are watching. I did not edit any images whatsoever." The video has since been shared almost 15,000 times and has accumulated over 3,000 comments.
"I am EXTREMELY DISGUSTED by it… there should be no reason why my kids should have to see something like this!" says the furious mum in the video.
The post sparked a mixed reaction on Facebook. One user commented, "People are so damn perverse & trying to corrupt innocent children! Makes me sick!"
"It's still wrong. The person behind this is literally disgusting. Who would even think about putting that in a kids show for 'fun' or whatever reason? That's disgusting," another said.
Conversely, other users brushed it off and claimed that it was hardly noticeable.
"Are you being serious? My kids would not look that closely at a tree trunk. Plus, they won't even know what that was," said one.
Studio 100 Animation, the production company behind Maya The Bee, has apologised for the sneaky dick.
"[This] obviously results from a very bad joke from one of the 150 artists working on the production," a spokesperson for the company told the BBC. "This is indeed unacceptable to Studio 100 as owner of the brand and all its affiliates and doesn't reflect the quality of our work and our values."
The Paris-based company added that it was "taking all suitable technical measures to remedy the situation," which includes sorting through their pool of artists to figure out which dirty-minded creative was responsible.

A new way of verifying you're a real person and not a spam machine might eliminate the chore of typing phrases like "beetle sausage" and so on, with a start-up looking to gamify the art of verifying you're a human.
The PlayCaptcha system, developed by the UK's Future Ad Labs, replaces the tired old text verification system with a mini game, suggesting it's quicker than squinting at a normal captcha and, in good news for advertisers and brands, provides an exciting new little animated box that grabs the attention of internet users.
Products made and advertised by giant conglomerates Heinz and Reckitt Benckiser are among the first to sign up to these interactive adver-games on their sign-up pages, so look out for them the next time you're voluntarily adding your details to some company's spam database.
The early demo example supplied to us asks you to move the (Heinz branded) salad cream onto the sandwich, a gaming experience that's perhaps not quite up there with the 20-minute epic police chases people are currently enjoying in GTA V, but still. It's quicker and easier than identifying some wonky words.

The AgBMP Loan Program provides needed funding for local implementation of clean water practices at an extremely low cost, is unique in its structure and is not duplicated by any other source of funding.The AgBMP loan program provides 3% loans through local lenders to farmers, rural landowners, and agriculture supply businesses.
The goal of this project is to use the We Are Water MN exhibit and their technical knowledge in relationship-building and storytelling to increase community capacity for sustainable watershed management in the Cannon River, Cedar River, Mississippi-Headwaters, Mississippi-Grand Rapids, Mississippi-Twin Cities, Red Lake River, Rum River and St. Louis River watersheds.
This project will provide condition monitoring and problem investigation monitoring at the following sites.
Mississippi River: Tributaries include Bassett Creek, Cannon River, Crow River, and Minnehaha Creek.
Minnesota River: Tributaries include Eagle Creek,Riley Creek, and Valley Creek tributary to the St. Croix River
This project willl complete a final TMDL document that will be submitted to EPA for approval. Document will include Lake Osakis, Clifford Lake, Faille Lake, and Smith Lake impairments. A final technical memorandum describing the elements of the model framework and any deviations from the recommended construction methodology will be also be provided with the submission of the watershed models.
This project will complete a comprehensive study, following a rational, step-wise process of data analysis, response modeling and comparison to the water quality standards, followed by impairment diagnosis, modeling of improvement and protection options, and development of a WRAP Report and Implementation Plan for Sunfish lake, Thompson lake, Pickerel lake, and Rogers lake.
This project will complete a pollutant source identification and subwatershed information report and support the development of a Draft Restoration and Protection Plan (RAPP). It will also support the devlopment of a Implementation Plan that will identify target areas for BMP implementation for bacteria reductions.
This project will construct, calibrate, a set of HSPF watershed models covering the entire area of the Lake of the Woods drainage, including the Rainy River watershed. The consultant will produce HSPF models that can readily be used to provide information to support conventional parameter TMDLs. The consultant will clearly demonstrate that these models generate predicted output timeseries for hydrology which are consistent with available sets of observed data.
This project will provide the MPCA, CCWD, and all other stakeholders the information and tools necessary to improve the water quality within Coon Creek Watershed District. The improvements will take place using targeted activities throughout the watershed to reduce the primary biological and chemical stressors. In turn, the reduction of these stressors will help to reduce overall loadings of sediment, turbidity, total phosphorus, and E. coli bacteria.
The goal of this project is to develop a phosphorus TMDL for the six impaired lakes in the southwest portion of the Rice Creek Watershed District; Island Lake, Little Lake Johanna, Long Lake, East Moore Lake, Pike Lake and Lake Valentine.
The VLAWMO watershed covers approximately 25 square miles in the northeast metropolitan area in northern Ramsey County and a small portion of Anoka County, Minnesota. It encompasses the City of North Oaks and portions of the Cities of White Bear Lake, Gem Lake, Vadnais Heights, Lino Lakes, and White Bear Township. This project will gather and organize existing data, support the continuation of modeling and TMDL allocations along with an additional stakeholder meeting. It will also provide the completion of a draft and final TMDL report.
This project will Install buffer strips along 25 miles of ditches in the watershed, replace 50 open tile intakes, and hold workshops in the watershed to increase conservation tillage, nutrient and pesticide management, conservation drainage and restoring wetlands.
This project will reduce nutrient loadings to Sand Creek from the neighborhoods which are the greatest contributors. Project activities include the installation of a new stormwater pond and a network of 10 strategically-placed curb-cut rain gardens.
The Drinking Water Contaminants of Emerging Concern (CEC) program identifies environmental contaminants for which current health-based standards currently do not exist or need to be updated, investigate the potential for human exposure to these chemicals, and develop guidance values for drinking water. Contaminants evaluated by CEC staff include contaminants that have been released or detected in Minnesota waters (surface water and groundwater) or that have the potential to migrate to or be detected in Minnesota waters.
This leadership workshop series will provide the participants (citizen leaders) with knowledge, skills, processes and tools that can help to strengthen their current efforts and nurture new ones.
This project will support construction of three watershed framework models built using the Hydrologic Simulation Program FORTRAN (HSPF). These executable models will simulate hydrology at the subbasin scale. An HSPF model will be built for each of these major watersheds: Crow Wing River, Redeye River, and Long Prairie River.
This project will continue HSPF watershed model construction beyond the initial framework development. The consultant will add representation of point source discharges to the model. The consultant will also compile flow data for the purposes of calibration and validation. Finally, an initial hydrologic calibration will be performed and submitted for approval.
This project will compile and review previously conducted studies and will prioritize best management practices (BMPs) based on a cost-benefit analysis of their pollutant load reductions and life cycle costs. It will also support the design and construction of BMPs, such as rain gardens and infiltration practices, within the Villa Park subwatershed of the Lake McCarrons watershed.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is a co-sponsor and assists with a portion of the financial support for the International Rainy River-Lake of the Woods Watershed Forum.
Phase 4 of the Lake Winona Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) project will finalize the draft Lake Winona TMDL, dated November 2009, by completing additional data analysis, lake quality modeling, updating the TMDL report, and supporting the public involvement process.
LEQA is a Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) program to help livestock producers address, using a non-regulatory approach, the unique water quality issues on their farms. The MDA has contracted with Ag Resource Strategies, LLC, to recruit farmers to enroll in the LEQA program. The company trains technicians to assess different areas of each farms, such as the farmstead, livestock facilities, fields and wooded areas. The technicians then develop an environmental assessment and identify financial assistance for these projects.
The goal of this project is to develop a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for all impaired stream reaches and lakes within the Long Prairie and Red Eye Watersheds.
This project will gather watershed data to support the development of a Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy with parameter-specific targets that will maintain or improve water quality for the Long Prairie River Watershed. This project will also provide an important framework for civic and citizen engagement and communication, contributing to long-term public participation in surface water protection and restoration activities throughout the watershed.
Phase 2 of the Marsh River Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) project includes: continued civic engagement; production of the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study, which allocates pollutant load reductions for impaired waters; and production of the WRAPS report, which identifies implementation strategies that will maintain or improve water quality in many lakes and streams throughout the watershed.
This project supports monitoring and assessment activities by MPCA EAO staff and includes lab analysis, equipment, fieldwork, data management, and interpretation expenses associated with monitoring and assessment activities.The ambient groundwater monitoring network describes the current condition and trends in Minnesota's groundwater quality.
This project will improve the water quality of Northwood Lake by treating storm water runoff from over 110 acres of currently untreated urban land. The project includes the installation of a variety of practices at two different locations adjacent to the lake that will maximize storm water treatment while conserving drinking water and preserving park land.
The University of Minnesota will develop effective interview questions for community watershed assessments in the Rainy River basin and provide assistance in understanding the data collected through community interviews.
This project will provide an important framework for civic and citizen engagement and communication in the International Rainy River-Lake of the Woods Watershed, which will contribute to long-term public participation in surface water protection and restoration activities.
The goal of the project is to create a complete Watershed Restoration and Protection Strategy (WRAPS) report for the Ramsey-Washington Metro Watershed District for inclusion into an updated Watershed Management Plan, including completion of a watershed-wide Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) report sufficient for EPA approval.
This project will develop an effective transferable model to engage and educate watershed residents, stakeholders and others to better understand and protect watershed ecostystems through environmental monitoring, training, and formal and informal education programs in their local watershed. The project will build on the foundation of the existing Red River Basin River Watch program by strengthening three main activity areas: 1) curriculum integration and teacher training, 2) youth leadership and civic engagement, and 3) applied research collaboration and watershed science skills building.
MN Legislative Clean Water Fund funding to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data all for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
This project is for Minnesota Legislative Clean Water Fund funding to engage citizens in local watershed monitoring, to work with regional partners to promote understanding and protection of watersheds, and to organize and facilitate gathering of scientific data all for the benefit of water quality in the Red River Basin.
PROJECT GOAL: Improve agricultural production and reduce flooding losses while minimizing the unwanted environmental impacts of subsurface drainage.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE: Demonstrate controlled tile drainage as a flood mitigation practice as well as the water quality and quantity benefits. The project is intended to set an example to increase the adoption of drainage water management practices in the Red River Valley.
Controlled drainage and a saturated buffer are both being evaluated as part of this project.
This project will complete a chloride management plan which will lay out a strategy for addressing chloride impacts to our surface waters for the 7-county metropolitan area. This chloride management plan will satisfy EPA requirements for impaired waters, address waters not yet listed, and develop a strategy to protect waters that are currently meeting the water quality standards.
The goal of this project is the completion of an Upper Mississippi River Bacteria Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) and Protection Plan. In addition, an Implementation Plan will be developed and finalized under this contract.
This project will develop a watershed restoration plan that provides quantitative pollutant load reduction estimates and a set of pollutant reduction and watershed management strategies to achieve water quality standards for all impairments within the watershed. It will also an important framework for civic and citizen engagement and communication, which will contribute to long-term public participation in surface water protection and restoration activities throughout the watershed.
This project will support the monitoring of reaches where there are data gaps, incorporate new data and relevant data, continue identification of pollutant sources, complete load duration curves, coordinate and encourage participation in stakeholder meetings. The information gathered during Phase IIB will be utilized towards the development of a Draft Restoration (TMDL) and Protection Plan (Plan).

I really enjoy random, useless knowledge that does nothing to enhance my life but it's just some fun stuff that I picked up along the way. You know the information, like how seahorses are monogamous? Cool, I know! Does absolutely nothing to help me with my finances or time management skills – just silly facts that makes me appear more interesting then I really am! It got me thinking…do dogs see in black and white?
The short answer is No. Dogs can see some color, just not as many as human beings.
Scientists have discovered, that while humans have three cone photoreceptor cells in our eyes to see the color of the rainbow, our beloved friends have only two 'cones'. We can distinguish between reds and blues, yellow and greens. Dogs cannot see reds or greens at all because everything is slightly tinted on a blue-yellow color scale.
Image that – seeing the world in grey, blue and yellow? Isn't it funny how many dog toys are red???? To them, it must look dark grey! Now throw that red bone on your beautiful green grass! AH! Fido can't see green either! Probably looks like a grey bone in a sea of blue.
Another interesting fact is that a dog's vision is not as acute as ours, perhaps being up to 40% less sharp! What may look perfectly clear to you 20 feet away may appear blurry to your fur-baby. That's because your dog tends to be nearsighted. Their eye test would look more like 20/75. That's okay though because your buddy is 'seeing' the world through another sense – his sense of smell. (More on this next week!)
We may see the world with more vivid and beautiful colors and we may even see things a little bit clearer (contacts lenses and all!) but our four-legged family members do have two distinct advantages to us mere mortals:
- They can see motion at a distance up to 20 times better than humans
- They can see much better than people at dawn and dusk when the light from the sun is just a hint in the sky.
Both of these traits serve canines much better for hunting in the wild. Obviously, your pet is not doing much of that now-a-days, however, I would pick any dog to be on my team in a game of Kick the Can with the neighborhood kids! Ruling Champions of the Summer!
It's nice to know that our family pet sees the world in more than just a boring black and white. They may not see beautiful pinks, purples, green and reds but they don't seem to miss it.
Want to know the animal that can see the most colors? It will make you look more interesting at the next office party!
Mantis Shrimp. They have 16 different color receptors in their eyes. Can you imagine what the world looks like through their eyes?!?!?!

Back home.
back heckled. US Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Brussels cancelled due to bad weather. Return via British Airways and rapid change at JFK Airport from LaGuardia. It is strange that the English company does not suffer the same weather problems as the US company. The US Airways customer support is pretty grim, but I'm finally back home with more than 40 hours of footages !

There has been a lot of talk lately about Automatic Enrolment;there are adds on the television,radio commercials-we hear it mentioned everywhere.
But are you clear as to what Automatic Enrolment is?How does it affect you as an employer?
Under the Pensions Act 2008, every employer in the UK must put certain staff into a pension scheme and contribute towards it.
In order to start Automatic Enrolment, you must know your Staging Date– set in law as of 1 April 2012 .You'll need your PAYE reference to find out your staging date.
You must enrol all workers who:
- are aged between 22 and the State Pension age
- earn at least £10,000 a year
- work in the UK
The Pensions Regulator has a very useful check list on their website to help you on your way.
Prior to using it, you will need to know the:
- PAYE Reference
- Letter Code
- Age and earnings
As an employer,you must make a contribution to the pension scheme for those workers.
The Pensions Regulator could give out fines if you do not pay the minimum contribution for each member of staff, or if you pay late;no later than the 22nd day of the following month or 19th if you pay by cheque.
If you already have a workplace pension scheme, you can check if you can use it for Automatic Enrolment.
For more detailed information on your responsibilities as an employer, check out The Pensions Regulator or Contact us to see how we can help.

Melissa Scott, an employee of a nursing home in Kilgore, Texas, has filed suit against the Willow Bluff nursing home alleging that she sustained personal injuries to her back two years ago during the task of helping aides lift a 300-pound patient after the lift machine at the facility broke.
Scott filed the suit in the District Court of Jefferson County, Texas on August 18 claiming that on September 10, 2006, she helped move the obese patient from a chair to the bed causing her to suffer "immediate severe pain." The suit says that at that time, Scott and the other aides were not able to use the facility's lifting machine.
According to the suit, Scott notified the appropriate personnel at Willow Bluff of her injury and later that same day went to the emergency room with complaints of severe pain in her lower back. The suit said that she had suffered a central disc hernia in her lower spine.
The suit alleges negligence on the part of Willow Bluff for its failure to provide a safe work place and proper lifting equipment for Scott. She seeks damages for past and future mental anguish, impairment, lost earnings, medical expenses, and disfigurement.

First Minister Alex Salmond will attend next week's William Hill Ayr Gold Cup Saturday at Ayr Racecourse for the second year in a row and for the third time in the last five years.
[Pictured: First Minister Alex Salmond at Ayr Racecourse last year, congratulating jockey Frankie Dettori on winning his second Ayr Gold Cup in successive years.]
A keen horseracing fan, Mr Salmond will appear live on Channel 4's Morning Line from the track at 8 o'clock on Saturday September 17 before spending the remainder of the day taking in Scotland's biggest flat race meeting of the year.
He will be a guest of Racecourse owners Alan Macdonald and Richard Johnstone and watch the big race, the William Hill Ayr Gold Cup, from a Private Box in the Princess Royal Stand.
Mr Salmond will be hoping for a Scottish winner of the Gold Cup which hasn't been won by a home-trained horse since Roman Warrior's memorable win 36 years ago.
The best chance of that happening lies with the Jim Goldie trained Hawkeyethenoo which is currently priced at 14/1 with sponsors William Hill.
Advance ticket sales for the three-day meeting are selling well and it is expected crowds of more than 22,000 will take in the meeting which runs from Thursday until Saturday and features Ladies Day on Friday when one lucky lady will drive off in a Vauxhall Corsa Limited Edition courtesy of Kerr & Smith.
Ayr Racecourse ales and marketing manager Lindsey Smith said: "It's a great boost that the First Minister's Office have indicated that Mr Salmond will attend again this year. You can have no greater endorsement for your race meeting than your country's leader stating he wants to attend.
"We are happy with advance sales and as ever will hope for some good weather to give us an added edge. We have a saying at the Racecourse that summer in Ayr doesn't end until after the Gold Cup is run, so let's hope for some real summer weather next week."
For more information or to book tickets call 01292 264179 or go online at www.ayr-racecourse.co.uk
Advance bookings discounts apply until 7 days before the day of the meeting.
For further information please contact Iain Ferguson on 07795 565691.

Checking out evaluations on infant strollers is a terrific way to assist you choose the best baby infant stroller. Besides, they can set you back as long as an auto payment, so you wish to obtain one that fits your demands, obtains great customer evaluations as well as will certainly be dependable. Go to http://www.prohmote.com/ for illustrations of double prams for infant and toddler.
3 Important Questions to Ask Yourself When Buying an Infant stroller
There are a lot of excellent child strollers on the marketplace when it boils down to choosing one, it truly comes down to which one is best for the task. If you do not intend on using the it on tough terrain, or taking it out for a jog, then a running baby stroller is wrong for you. Check out http://www.williammurchison.com/ in the event you need to find a an example of the best quality twin strollers to purchase.
Think about the complying with when you acquire a baby stroller:

Where will you utilize it? Do you intend on using it simply to run duties as well as go shopping? Or do you require something extra sturdy that can deal with unequal surface, rocks as well as turf. Some strollers are much better on paved surface areas, while others have bigger tires that are capable of taking on any surface.
That will use it? Some baby strollers fit the average height of women, while others can reaching fit taller individuals. If a dad or tall grownup will certainly be using the baby stroller regularly, you'll wish to concentrate on versions that will fit for taller individuals. You can find a lot of these types of pushchairs at http://www.geojono.com/
What functions issue? Infant baby strollers range from basic umbrella strollers to a lot more intricate ones that convert from newborn baby infant strollers to young child infant strollers. Testimonials on baby strollers will inform you just what clients claim regarding a few of the functions as well as features that you'll wish to remember.

Below are a couple of style functions that might be necessary for your demands:
Storage space- how much will you lug. If you're carrying around a huge diaper bag, toys or food, you'll wish to take a look at how large the storage space is beneath the baby stroller and also just how easy it is to gain access to.
Infant Safety Seat Adapter- do you plan on making use of the baby stroller with a baby service provider and also need a "snap and also go" service? There is also a wide variety of 3 in 1 travel systems at http://www.curiositycreates.co.uk/
Tires- consider the size, kind, and also suspension of the baby stroller. The types of tires that the infant stroller has and also the layout will influence exactly how easy it is to navigate the infant stroller.
Dimension- this isn't always the dimension of the infant stroller while being used, however the dimension when folded. Nevertheless, if you plan on bring the stroller in your vehicle, or if you have a small apartment, the dimension of the baby stroller when compressed will be critical to think about
Folding mechanism- just how very easy is it to break down the baby stroller?
There are a lot of functions to consider when determining what is the best infant stroller. The responses from parents can be extremely handy, so taking a look at infant stroller testimonials in a website like http://www.goskyride.co.uk/, will hopefully make it easier for you to pick the ideal stroller.

Disclosure- Thanks to Zaful for making this post possible.
I have seen a lot of off-the-shoulder clothing, but one with floral lace detailing and a victorian flair: "not a whole lot!!!"
This gray beauty caught my attention right away and I knew it was coming home to me, and I am glad- it did This top is a chiffon blend and fits on the looser side. So if you decide to buy it, BTW Zaful ships worldwide, I would suggest sizing down. Today I paired this blouse with my favorite pair of skinny legs, but if you are looking for a more casual look, then a pair of distressed shorts and lace-up sandals would be a good pick.
top- c/o ZAFUL ( love this one, another great option, full lace )
jeans- Citizens of Humanity ( another one form COH )
heels- Schutz ( under $45 option )
bag- Kate Spade ( this tote is a must-have )
lipstick- Ruby Woo
Have a great day loves....

|Frequently Asked Questions
|More than 52000 members
3. The DMCA, SSSCA, and CBDTPA
3.1 What is the DMCA?
DMCA stands for "Digital Millennium Copyright Act". The DMCA was passed in 1998. Passage of the DMCA was motivated in part by a perceived need to implement guidelines set by the World Intellectual Property Organization.
3.2 What's wrong with the DMCA?
The DMCA makes it a crime to circumvent copy protection, even if your purpose in circumvention is to exercise your legal rights. This means that those rights are effectively non-existent under the DMCA. See above for more detail: 2.1.
3.3 What is the CBDTPA (formerly known as the SSSCA)?
The "Security Systems Standards and Certification Act" (SSSCA) was a draft bill whose stated goal was "to provide for private sector development of workable security system standards and a certification protocol that could be implemented and enforced by Federal regulations." However, the scope of the SSSCA was far greater than a simple standardization effort.
On March 21, a new version of the SSSCA was formally introduced to the Senate as the "Consumer Broadband and Digital Television Promotion Act" (CBDTPA).
3.4 What's wrong with the CBDTPA?
The CBDTPA (formerly known as the SSSCA) attempts to provide even more power to content providers. Many view the CBDTPA as "DMCA 2.0". Like the DMCA, the CBDTPA makes it a crime to remove any security technology, even when you are removing the security technology to exercise legal rights. Furthermore, the CBDTPA mandates that all digital devices conform to the federally mandated security standards (including cell phones, digital cameras, and even watches).
If approved by Congress, the CBDTPA will have a number of negative consequences. First, it will further erode fair use rights by placing even more power in the hands of content companies. Second, it will prevent electronics companies from building innovative new products. Third, as a government-mandated standard, it will be unable to keep up with the rapid pace of technology in the private sector. Fourth, it is likely to have all of these negative impacts without solving the real problem of organized piracy.
3.5 Don't these new laws already provide exemptions for fair use?
Yes, but only in very specific and limited cases. For example, the CBDTPA provides just one exemption: for recording a TV show.
The DMCA provides similar limited exemptions. Libraries may circumvent copy protection -- but only for the purpose of determining whether or not to acquire the work. They cannot circumvent for the purpose of archiving the content, lending it to patrons, etc. Paradoxically, the DMCA outlaws devices that could be used for circumvention, so it is unclear how libraries would ever obtain the technology that would allow them to exercise their exemption.
Scientists are supposedly able to circumvent copy protection for the purpose of encryption research. But a Princeton cryptography professor was recently prevented from publishing his research because of threatening actions by the RIAA.
So while the new copyright laws do provide certain exemptions, in practice the exemptions are so narrow as to be useless for most citizens.
3.6 Couldn't we fix things by adding better exemptions to existing laws?
There are two reasons why simply adding more exemptions won't work.
First, an exemption-based approach leaves no room for innovation. It expects the government to figure out the entire set of possible fair uses of technology; all others are forever illegal unless authorized by the content industry. Many products that are legal today would never have existed. See 5.3 for more details.
Second, it would be almost impossible to enumerate every reasonable and fair use of all the different kinds of digital media out there today (not to mention new kinds that haven't been invented yet). We tried that approach with the DMCA and left out a number of important uses -- for example, the DMCA has no exemption that would allow blind people to extract text from an electronic book. Congress itself affirmed that it is impossible to formulate exact rules for fair use in the House Report on the Betamax case.
Instead of making specific exemptions that fall far short of the rights we had before the DMCA, we need a positive assertion of a set of general, reasonable principles. That's the goal of our Consumer Technology Bill of Rights. It defines broad categories of rights within the domain of personal non-commercial use, and it decriminalizes the technology that can be used to exercise those rights.

Peng-Sheng Chen Research Laboratory
The laboratory of Peng-Sheng Chen, MD is part of the Krannert Institute of Cardiology, Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine at IU School of Medicine. Investigators in this laboratory are focused on advancing science related to cardiac arrhythmias, and they collaborate widely within the institute and provide basic science support to other bench and clinical research programs.
Active Research
The Peng-Sheng Chen Research Laboratory is interested in studying the mechanisms of ventricular fibrillation, ventricular defibrillation and atrial fibrillation. One area of research focuses on the relationship between autonomic nerve activity and cardiac arrhythmia. The lab's recent work focuses on translating research findings in the animal laboratory to human patients. For example, methods to record skin sympathetic nerve activities in humans and use the results to non-invasively estimate cardiac sympathetic tone have been developed.
The lab is also studying the mechanisms of ventricular fibrillation. Recent research focused on an ionic channel called small conductance calcium activated K (SK) channels. Researchers in the lab found that SK channels are important sources of repolarization currents in both normal and diseased ventricles. Better understanding of this ionic channel may improve the understanding of ventricular fibrillation and other life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
Other recent research interests include the mechanisms by which genetic variations can cause cardiac arrhythmia.
Electrical shock is the only effective therapy of ventricular fibrillation. The central findings include: reentrant wavefronts (rotors) underlie the mechanisms of VF and vulnerability; flattening action potential duration (ADP) restitution curve presents VF; unsuccessful epicardial shocks of greater than or equal to 1 J halt all activation fronts after which VF regenerates; and upper limit of vulnerability (ULV) correlates with ventricular defibrillation threshold (DFT).
These findings advance understanding of the mechanisms of cardiac fibrillation and defibrillation. The correlation of ULV and defibrillation threshold has led to a number of clinical studies that documented ULV as an effective method in estimating defibrillation efficacy in human patients.
The Peng-Sheng Chen Research Labhas contributed to the field of cardiology through the following discoveries: RF catheter ablation of atrial flutter, ligament of Marshall as a source of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and eccentric retrograde activation in patients with atypical atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT).
These discoveries have become part of the knowledge base for interventional electrophysiologists when performing catheter ablation procedures. The isthmus ablation of atrial flutter is now one of the most commonly practiced procedures in clinical cardiac electrophysiology. Because roughly 6 percent of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation originates from the ligament of Marshall, it is a standard target for atrial fibrillation ablation. The discovery of eccentric retrograde activation in AVNRT is important in the differential diagnosis with atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia, which also has an eccentric retrograde activation sequence.
Nerve sprouting hypothesis was established in 1980s as a fundamental mechanism that underlies epilepsy. This concept was applied to the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias after myocardial infarction. It was found that in addition to electrophysiological and structural remodeling, there is also significant neural remodeling after myocardial infarction. The neural remodeling results in cardiac nerve sprouting, which causes regional myocardial hyperinnervation. Nerve growth factor infusion into the left stellate ganglion causes myocardial hyperinnervation, which results in increased incidence of ventricular tachyarrhythmias in a canine model. Using this canine model of sudden death, researchers in the lab were able to perform direct stellate ganglion nerve recording to document the relationship between stellate ganglion nerve activity and sudden cardiac death. These findings provided insights into the mechanisms by which beta blocker therapy prevents sudden death after myocardial infarction. It also provided further support for using neuromodulation to manage cardiac arrhythmias.
The SK channel was first cloned in 1996 and is known to be responsible for afterhyperpolarization the controls neuronal discharges. It is also known to be present in the atria, but its function in the ventricles was unclear. Studies from the Peng-Sheng Chen Laboratory documented that the SK current is upregulated in failing rabbit ventricles. SK current activation during ventricular fibrillation shortens the APD and is responsible for inducing recurrent VF in failing rabbit ventricles. The lab then performed studies in failing human ventricles to document the presence of SK current upregulation. In the failing ventricles, SK current is important in steepening the action potential duration restitution curve at rapid rates, which help induce VF.
On the other hand, the SK current is also upregulated in failing ventricles during bradycardia and help maintain the repolarization reserve and prevent afterdepolarization and torsades de pointes ventricular arrhythmia. These findings provided new insights into the mechanisms of cardiac repolarization during heart failure. They suggest that SK current is important in cardiac arrhythmogenesis in diseased ventricles. It may also have significant implications in drug safety.
Researchers in the Peng-Sheng Chen lab developed methods to record nerve activities in ambulatory dogs and showed a direct relationship between nerve discharges and cardiac arrhythmias. Studies from the laboratory also documented the importance of nerve activities in controlling ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation. Low-level vagal nerve stimulation can cause stellate ganglion remodeling and suppress spontaneous atrial fibrillation in dogs with intermittent pacing. Recently, the lab reported that it is feasible to record sympathetic nerve activity directly from the subcutaneous space and that the subcutaneous nerve activity can be used to estimate the stellate ganglion nerve activity. Most recent works focused on translating these findings to humans by using electrocardiographic electrodes to directly record sympathetic nerve activities from humans.

When I first joined this subscription I was really excited, but every month I was getting really similar colors, so I decided to cancel.
Sunshineon 3/10/2016
I subscribed to SquareHue when they first started and loved it. The only reason I stopped was because I was overwhelmed with nail polish! It was super fun to get 3 unique colors every month. If you're looking to get in to nail polish or just buff up your collection, this is a nice way to go.
Lilacon 2/26/2016
I used to love this subscription but I cancelled. I just can't take all the uninspired dupes they send out every month anymore. If you are person who has little or no nail polish you might like this box. If you are a really into nail polish and have a collection going chances are you will already have whatever colors they send you made by a mainstream brand.
BoxyMeon 12/9/2015
I only got my fist box today, but so far I really like this subscription. I got my box 2 days after it shipped out. I got 2 colors, an orange-ish red color, and a purple color. I already have a lot of purples, so I might give this one to somebody else. I've already put the orange color on though, and it's great! The polish is pretty high quality. I'm excited to see what else I get from this subscription.
Sunshineon 12/3/2015
I have been signed up for this box for quite a few months now and I am very pleased. The quality and quantity of polish you receive is spot on and they occasionally send surprise gifts for no additional cost. This box IS a complete surprise every month. If you don't like surprises, I would give this one a pass.
