The story is based on a true story shared by my wife before start of our first night (due to an underlying fear). She told about a case of a distant relative whose marriage was annulled by court of law or otherwise due to problem in penetration on her first day though both of them were known to each other for a pretty long time. I met the lady after our marriage. She was a beautiful lady, at least 20 year older than us. When I met that lady she was a lecturer of a college. Hope she is still alive with good health.
I came across similar two cases in last thirty years where their husbands abandoned them following legal process or otherwise. Out these two, one became a mother of a son once she got married to another man. In my story, I combined this character with the first one.
In a male dominated society, we blame a lady if she has some defects in her body to satisfy her husband. Normally the husband is quick enough to condemn the lady without going into detail or before taking all sorts of remedial medical recourses. But if a lady wants to take similar action, the society including her own parents try to convince her to sacrifice her desire.
In my story I want to covey only one thing, a husband or a wife, before condemning the spouse for any physical shortcoming, he/ she should consult specialists before coming to a final conclusion. Due to advancement of medical sciences, most of the physical disorders can be treated and with some patience they can live a happy and longer life. Further, pointing a physical defect is as traumatic for a female as that for a male. Therefore, one should avoid such mud slugging, at least in public.
I thank all my readers once again for their support. I am also thankful to Shakespir for providing the platform to publish this book.
Chapter I: The Beauty
Why her parents gave her name Manorama, I do not know. Manorama means extremely beautiful. But this Manorama was not even moderately beautiful. Her left eye was relatively much smaller than the right eye. However, in two criterions she was much above an average girl; one was her height and the other one was her intelligence. From class I to class X, she was the first girl in her class. So naturally she was the most liked girl among the teachers. I also had an excellent relation with her due to her intelligence and extremely likable behaviour. Moreover, her elder brother was my classmate. She was three year junior to me.
Her father and my father were classmates in their college days and therefore both the families were always in touch in good days and in troubled days as well. When we were young, we used to play together. But as we grew we stopped playing together. But visit to her house had not reduced till I went to college. However, our meeting became limited as my friend studied in a college situated at Tezpur, our District Head Quarters and I went to Guwahati. However, Manorama came to Cotton College after her matriculation where I was studying my graduation. His parents gave me her responsibility as a reliable family member.
As she was a nice girl, I did not have any problem from her during her stay at Guwahati for one year. However, I left Guwahati and went to Delhi after my graduation and our contact had been almost broken. She continued her studies in Cotton College next three years.
After her graduation, she was married to an engineer who was also from a known family of many decades. But just after six months their marriage was annulled on the instance of her husband. In his petition, he claimed that she was not a girl. Whatever might be the reason, she did not contest.
After that tragic incidence, she again joined her studies and went on to get a Ph. D in education and joined a college as a lecturer. All these information were passed on to me by my mother who kept a track of the events as a typical Indian lady who are more concerned about others' daughters than their own.
Chapter II: The Meeting
A few years back, I met Manorama in a bus while both of us were going to our home town. Still she was slim compared to my bulky body. I could recognise her immediately, but she took few seconds to recognise me. Once she recognised me she exchanged her seat and sat with me for next six hours.
'I heard that now you are posted in Guwahati?' She asked with some excitement.
'Yes, I have been at Guwahati since 1989. You are also in Guwahati, is not it?' I asked her with equal enthusiasm.
'Exactly not at Guwahati, I am working in Mirza College. But I am staying at Jalukbari.' She told me the specific places. Mirza and Jalukbari both are in the periphery of Guwahati.
'You have two children, how old they are now?'
'Son is eight and daughter is five. Daughter is in class one and son is in class III.' I told.
I found her a changed lady in terms of her out look to the society and to a male counterpart. As I knew her unfortunate marriage ordeal, I intentionally did not want to talk about that. But she was not adverse in talking about that six months' married life.
'Many people talk many things about me and my marriage. Most of the people blame me. Some talk about my behaviour towards my husband and his parents. Some claim that I am not even a woman. I do not know how they came to that conclusion!' She paused for a moment.
'When your marriage and subsequent annulment had taken place, I was in Delhi. I was shocked and became very unhappy to hear all those development. I cannot believe one thing; your behaviour was not good to your in laws and towards your husband.' I defended her.
'Yes, those who knew me from my childhood would never believe that I could ever misbehave with any elderly couple. Further Jatin's ( her ex husband) parents were known to me for so many years.' She again paused for few minutes.
Bus was moving at high speed. I could not muster the courage to know her view point.
'Do you know, my father died of heart attack after annulment of my marriage?'She asked me.
'Yes, my mother told me that unfortunate incident.' I tried to make her understand I was kept myself well informed about her.
'Oh, you are tracking me!'With a smile she said. I did not answer.
'Why do you not get married again?' I asked her.
'It is difficult to get a suitable match for a spinster. It is much more difficult for a divorcee. So far I am concerned, people doubt about my sex even. How I shall again get a match?' She sighed.
I kept mum for a long time. I wanted to know about her own assessment on being a complete woman. Had she ever felt any sex drive? Had she a regular menstruation cycle and so on? But I dared not to ask those personal questions.
The bus stopped at Orang, a small town famous for Rasgulla (a sweet mostly prepared by Bengali people). During that time we talked about her college and our common friends whom I could not meet for a long time.
As bus started moving she made an interesting comment, 'We are together for last two hours, but you have not asked a particular question which every male has asked me within half an hour if I allow someone to talk with more than half an hour!'
"What was the question?'
'Have you consulted a doctor? If yes what was his/her comments? I am fed up with those questions.' It appeared she was somewhat annoyed with herself.
'I did not ask that question because it is too personal and it may hurt your sentiment!' I clarified my position.
She looked at me as if I did a mistake. Then she said, 'For the first time I met a male who does not want to hurt my sentiment!' I could not understand whether she really appreciated me or she made a fun of my statement. Silence ruled for few minutes.
After few minutes I realized she was dozing and after another few minutes her head rested on my shoulder. Then I felt her softness. She was exactly of my wife's age; but she maintained her body much better way than my wife: I thought. I started enjoying her soft pushing on my chest and other parts of my body due her sleep and jerking of the bus.
Chapter III: The Evening Tea
On her request I visited her for a cup of tea. Actually, I had not visited their home for a pretty long time as her brother, my friend Arun was posted at Dhekiajuli, a small town coming between Tezpur and Guwahati. Therefore, Aunty while welcoming me, complained, 'I thought you have forgotten the road leading to our home!'
'No, Aunty, after death of my father and shifting of my mother to my brother's place, I seldom visit home.' I wanted to explain my position.
'Who is looking after your properties?'
'Now a days, one of my cousins from maternal side is staying in our house. He is staying with his wife and their small children. The first child is going to school, second one is a toddler' I gave her details of my cousin without asking.
In the mean time, Manorama appeared. Before any welcome gestures, she started her apology, 'I want to tender my unconditional apology for my rude behaviour on that day after taking tea at Orang!'
'I understood your agony in answering those unsolicited questions. Perhaps you might have thought, I knew everything on that account, I pretended to be goody-goody to you! Therefore your trash remark was justified. But believe me, I am not aware of any facts on that account and I did not ask those questions to avoid hurting you.' I tried to explain her.
'I realized afterwards what you are explaining now. I believe what you have said on that day. That is why I am apologizing to you.' Her voice was choked with emotion.
'Can we change the topic now?' I tried to make a lighter atmosphere. She also smiled and request to carry on my talk with Aunty and went to kitchen for preparing tea.
After tea, Aunty had left me with Manorama to talk freely. After few tit bits, Manoroma again came to the same topic, what I did not ask her.
'I want to share something which I am not sharing even with my brother. I am sharing with you because I found you different from others. You care not to hurt the sentiment of a lady whose sentiments have already been in the auction market.' She paused for a moment and started again, 'I went to a lady gynaecologist to discuss whether I am a woman or not. After a thorough check up, she told me that I am a perfect woman; only I may need a small operation to make the opening little wider.' While telling me about her very personal matters she was looking outside through the window avoiding any eye contact with me.
After two to three minutes silence, I asked, 'Have you done the operation?'
'No, I did not go for it. I did not find any reason to go for it. If I find any reason to do that, I shall definitely go for it.' Her answer was an angry expression mixed with sadness.
' Your ex- husband instead of going to court, he should have gone to a doctor!' My voice was also soaked with sympathy for the young lady who was looking to the dark sky through the window.
'He was not fool. He was in love with another girl. Due to family pressure he married me. But with two unsuccessful attempts with me he went to court for annulment of our marriage. I could not defend my case as I was also not sure whether I am a woman or not.' She started weeping.
For few seconds I became motionless, but after few seconds I stood from my chair and went near to her. Patting on her back I said, 'Please do not cry. Please!'
'Let me cry. For the first time I am crying before a male. I always hate to cry before a man, but today I feel to cry to wash out my sorrow stocked inside my heart. Give me your support to cry me out!' Telling those sentences she embraced me and cried little loudly. After crying for few minutes she stopped crying and loosened her grip.
'I am sorry. I do not know what you are thinking about me.' In an apologetic voice she told.
'It's alright. I am happy to be the first person to flush out some of your sorrow and emotions!' Letting her going out of my arms I told her.
After her emotional burst, we sat for another half an hour. When I told her that I am leaving for Guwahati next to next day, she invited for dinner on the next day. I could not refuse her invitation!
Chapter IV: She Is a Perfect lady
When I reached her home it was drizzling. As soon as I reached their home, Aunty welcomed me and said, 'Today the weather is not good. How you have come today?'
'My cousin has dropped me by his scooter. I am carrying an umbrella. If rain does not subside, I have to take a rickshaw from the town!' She knew that I did not have any vehicle there.
'Arun told me that he would come today and he would be able to drop you at your residence by his vehicle. That is why Manorama invited you for dinner. Otherwise she could have invited you for the lunch. At the last minute, he had to change his programme due to fever of his younger son.' Aunty was apologetic.
Manorama emerged to the drawing room at that time and scolded her mother, 'Before giving a cup of tea, you are talking how he will go after dinner.' Then she again vanished to bring a cup of tea.
'Do not worry for me Aunty, I have a habit of walking.' I assured Aunty.
After dinner the weather turned to worst. It was raining cats and dogs.
Finally Manorama with great difficulty told my cousin that I would not be coming due to heavy rain and I would stay back at Aunty's home. Practically staying at my cousin's place or at Manorama's home had no difference for me.
By 11 O'Clock my bed was arranged at drawing room. Manorama gave a bottle of water and told me if I need something, I should call her, as her room was next to the drawing room.
Normally, I do not have a good sleep at a new place. So I was just lying on the bed for next one hour or so.
In the darkness I saw someone approaching my bed. I was about to ask who was there; but before I could utter a word a soft hand stopped me from uttering any word.
I realized on that night, whatever I heard about lack of feminine nature of Manorama was totally wrong. She was a total woman with all the qualities of a perfect woman. She had the seducing power, she was soft and her private part was not explored at all. Therefore, it was little bit tighter and penetration was difficult initially. She felt pain but she encouraged me to continue and I found easier after few minutes of our love making.
While seeing off at the gate on the next morning she asked me, 'Do you have any doubt that I am a woman?'
'No. At least I do not have an iota of doubt on that account. You are a perfect lovely woman! Should I thank the bad weather for the lovely night!'I said with a meaningful smile.
'Not exactly! I would not have allowed you to go on a different pretext if weather would have been good. I am waiting for the whole day for a favourable night; though I was little bit apprehensive about the final result.' She said with a twinkle in her eyes.
'You told me you had not gone for an operation so far!' I wanted to know the truth.
'I told you half of the consultation with the doctor. She told me if I shall be ready mentally well in advance for the mating, use some lubricant and if my partner is sensitive about my problem, I do not need a surgical operation. I found a sensible person in you, I was thinking whole day for the night and I also used some lubricants many times praying God to bless me this time!' She unfolded everything.
'Thanks for your faith in me! I do not know whether, you are fully satisfied or not. However, I am sorry to inflict some injury in the process!' I told with genuine concern. 'Use some antiseptic on your injury!'
'Do not worry, injury will be healed soon. You have given me all happiness I was aspiring for! I am not sure, I have given you pleasure or not!' She said coyly.
'You have given me maximum pleasure one woman can give to a man. I look forward some more intimate moments!' I told.
'Then come again to my residence at Guwahati. Everyone thinks I am incapable of doing those things. Therefore, your visits to my residence will be beyond doubts!' She invited me with an open heart.
'Sure darling, I would like to meet you again and again.' I left the place with a good memory.
Chapter V: She Left Very Next Day
Originally she was to go back to Guwahati after two days. But she decided to go back to Guwahati on the same day I was to return. She wanted to accompany me to Guwahati so that she could spend some quality time with me.
But God has a different plan for us. I could not accompany Manorama as I had go to eldest maternal uncle's place as he had a mild heart attack. I met Manorama at the bus stand and promised her to meet her at Guwahati on my arrival.
She said, 'I want to have a steady relation with you without disturbing your family. Will you be able to spare some time for me?' Her eyes were moist.
I promised her to keep a steady relation with her. As the bus moved, I saw her face was glowing with the expectation for a steady relation with me.
Whole day I was busy with doctor and nurse for the treatment of my uncle. When next day doctor declared my uncle was out of danger, I left for Guwahati by an evening bus.
While crossing a railway line before Balipara, my co-passenger told me, 'This is the place where yesterday morning the ghastly accident took place between a bus and a train.'
I saw the mingled body of a bus near the railway line. When I was crossing the ill fated bus, I could see the name of the bus. My whole body started trembling. It was the bus by which Manorama and I were to travel. I did not travel by this bus due to my uncle's illness; but Manorama travelled. With a trembling voice I asked my co-passenger, 'Is there any casualty?'
'Yes, ten died on the spot and rest were injured.' He told me as if nothing serious had happened.
'I was to travel by this bus yesterday. But one of my relatives (I am referring about Manorama) travelled by this bus.' I murmured.
Then I immediately telephoned my friend Arun to ask about Manorama. My worst fear came true. She was one of the victims of the accident. I could not stop my tears. She was all along unhappy for last one decade; but she wanted to start another chapter of happiness. But God had a different idea. I reached Guwahati at around 10 PM without taking even a cup of tea. After reaching Guwahati I told my wife that I had taken my dinner on the way.
When I told my wife about the accident she said, 'Thank God, you did not travel by that bus. Sorry for that unfortunate lady who could not be happy in her life. She was rather relieved of the pains of not being proper woman (she also knew the rumour that she was not a complete woman). God gives peace to her!'
I was about to tell my wife, 'Manorama was a complete woman in all respect.' But I did not say anything. I recalled the only night with her. How beautiful that night was!!!!!

Today I finally felt like I was getting back to normal after my half ironman on Sunday. I did the Miami 70.3 – 5 days ago. Normally I get back into the pool a few days after any race. I take it easy but I always get moving right away. I do this after any event even an Ironman. This race was different. We made it a very quick trip to Miami and when I returned I couldn't seem to get enough sleep. Between the jet lag, race and the end of the season I was tired. We got back early Monday morning and I went to work that afternoon. I didn't sleep well while in Miami and it all caught up to me! Having no energy is a very weird feeling for me. I am always on the go and full of energy. I rarely go more than one day without some type of exercise. Today I finally got into the pool for an easy swim. It felt great to get moving. After I write this I plan on going for a short run with my dogs. This week will be easy. I don't have any more races for 2011. My race season for 2012 is going to begin early in the year with the Phoenix Full Marathon in January. My training for that will begin next week. My season for next year is already planned. I am doing the following races for 2012
· January – Phoenix Marathon
· April – Rage Half Ironman
· May – Ironman Texas
· June – Escape From Alcatraz
· October – Pumpkinman Half Ironman
· November – Roth Challenge South Africa
It is that time of year to start planning your 2012 race season. You will need to choose what races are your A races and what races will be B and C races. B and C races will be used for training for your A race. The A race(s) are the most important races for the year. You should not have all your races A races however you can have 2-3 A races.
Now that your season is over don't slack on the discipline that you don't like to do. Many people stop or limit doing what they don't like to do. So many people stay out of the pool in the winter because they like swimming the least and because it's cold outside. Get your butt in the pool! This is a great time of year to work on developing your technique. If it is too cold to ride outside get some Spinnerval DVD's and do some work on your indoor trainer. Limit or eliminate the spin classes in the gym and do work on your trainer if you can't ride outside. This will be much more beneficial for your upcoming race season. Now is also the time to think about getting a triathlon coach if you don't already have one. Many people wait until a few months before their race to get a coach. Your coach needs this time to get to know your strengths and weaknesses. This is a great time to get a coach and set your season up to be a successful one.

Name: Vin (aka springy)
How Vin feels today: Motivated @ 8:55:44 AM
What Vin really wants today: To welcome everyone back into the world of daily grind posting after taking an entire month and a half off. What can I say, it's been a crazy past 45-50 days or so.
Music Stuck in Head: New York City Traffic
Recently I've taken a break from listening to music on my morning commute into the city. These days I'm all about playing Scramble (free app) on the good old iPhone. Passes the time quite nicely.
Stuff to do today:
- Attempt to post new photo to photoblog at some point today
- Continue achievement hunting through Ghostbusters: The Video Game for Xbox 360
- Some of these achievements are just ridiculous
- Mini review of game: mildly enjoyable, lots of wasted potential, flat voice acting (looking at you Bill Murray)
- Find time to watch Termination: Salvation
- Mini review of movie: wasn't all that bad, quite predictable but not overly terrible
Sunday: June 21, 2009
- A ridiculous deleted scene from Terminator 3 that you don't want to miss.
This would have made the actual movie all the more enjoyable if it had been included in the final cut.

Human being. Encourager.
Seeker. Spacemaker.
✨Self care ambassador ✨ Encourager of "doing you" ✨ Promoter of making your own rules
✨ Facilitator of mega life changes that feel good
Hiya! I'm Dionne,
Hiya! I'm Dionne, a creative coach, yoga and meditation teacher, dj, writer, spacemaking event maker, but above all, a human being that loves life, good vibes and feelings.
I also love movement, memes, music, food, words, self care, colour, creating spaces that didn´t exist before, cultivating community, collecting inspiration, explorations and adventures.
And sharing combos of these things in spaces and places that might not be the "normal" context. Cause what´s "normal" anyway?!
Most of all, i love sharing combos of these things in ways that are REAL and FUN with GOOD people. Real people. Who are also curious and interested in ways to make life better, more inspired, more abundant, more in-flow. In whatever ways that work for them.
Where are you though?
I'm currently based between the UK (south coast- yo!) and Norway (west and east coast-yo!). I run community events, retreats and experiences in both countries and beyond (thank you, internet!) as well as working one to one with my creative coaching clients all over the world. Life is a bit of a mixup. I like to embrace that.
Polymaths unite!
I believe...
✨you can feel good and create an inspired life that is meaningful and sustainable in your own unique way.
✨I support people to feel empowered to create real life change that´s purposeful, authentic, balanced and real.
✨It´s my mission to share tools for transformation that are inclusive and accessible
✨so you can feel good whilst carving your own path.
✨I encourage you to do you.
✨I´m into celebrating uniqueness.
✨And getting real, into the guts, and making space to feel the feels.
✨Wherever you have come from, whatever you´ve been through,
✨you are important, of value and worthy of and entitled to designing a life that feels great
(not just one that looks nice from the outside)
How i do what i do:
Creative Coaching
I'm a creative coach and support people to delve into their desires and to create positive, meaningful and sustainable changes that help them feel better every day.
Yoga, meditation
+ wellness experiences
I've been teaching yoga since 2010, holding thousands of community classes, one-to-one's, workshops and experiences both in the UK and Norway.
You can find out about my current offerings and some of my previous projects via my events page.
Writing is life. And i create resources for you about a lot of life suff, including authentic and accessible self care, real-life talk and tips for managing the challenging stuff (usually with some lols and gifs).
It's generally a multimedia feast and i collect and curate resources and make feel-good inspiration holes. You know, collating the good stuff from the internet and irl which i hope will inspire and delight.
I curate sounds to help you feel good/better.
Now and then i play records (or MP3s), sometimes alone, sometimes as Brød & Smør running events like "silent art discos" and late night at the museum. I´m usually dancing in equal measure. Oh and I have a radio show. It's called FEELINGS. And a podcast or two.
Plus i've made gallons of yoga playlists. I like to call them "playlists". I also make mixes for you to enjoy on the regular (you can access them via my Digest).
I've been running retreats since 2012 and they are really a combination of all of the elements of what i do, explorations in coaching, writing, music, yoga, meditation and wellness, oh and a big emphasis on really really great food with an amazing community.
They tend to evoke big positive changes as you are able to step out and really focus on doing you how you want to. It's important to me that wellness is accessible, and although yoga classes are great alone, sometimes it´s nice to get an opportunity to go deeper into practice with more time immersed in movement and stillness studies.
The Digest
I send out letters filled with personal insights and inspo plus bonus treats like playlists, offerings and news nuggets in one distilled digest sent straight to your inbox. If you're not already on the list you can sign up below.
Fancy working with me?

Getting to the Resort
& Checking In
You pull up to a grand entrance with a huge fountain wall and escalators going up to the reception and lounge level. The reception staff welcomed us and gave the kids welcome bags with a Sheraton teddy bear, water bottle and colouring goodies. They loved that and immediately felt special. We had to wait a little bit for our room, but the lounge is really comfy and the views to the pool and beach are gorgeous.
Our Rooms
The kids had loads of surprises waiting for them in their room at Sheraton Bali Kuta. Towel animals on the beds, cupcakes, chocolates and cookies in a tiffin, kids bathroom amenities and best of all, bathrobes with their names on them! I realize we were being spoiled by the management, but I'm assured you can arrange these extras as well by calling ahead.
The rooms are really spacious, with large open bathrooms and a terrace/balcony, depending what floor you're on. I loved the bathroom with the sliding door that closed either the toilet or shower area. However, Lola did walk into the glass once, so watch the kiddos. Also the mirror lights in the bathroom were really nice (and flattering ;))
Lastly, the duvets on the beds were by far the comfiest I have ever experienced in any hotel ever. I could have just stayed cuddled up in it all weekend…but alas there were other things to do.
The Layout of the Resort
Downstairs on the ground floor is Feast, where breakfast and the Sunday Market Brunch are served. This is also one of the ways to enter Beachwalk Mall.
The pool area isn't huge, but the views are gorgeous and there are plenty of loungers and tables to eat or drink by the pool. There's a kids pool to splash in and it's easy to watch the kids from anywhere around the pool.
Kids Facilities
[email protected] Kids Club was a great space. Not too big and not too small, and very well maintained. There is also an outside space with a pool small pool and a shady playground area. Inside there are board games, computers, crafts and a little loft area to watch movies.
Lola and Marlow played chess, computer games and made some lovely bracelets and sand and shell pictures while we were there. They also got a chance to try out a fruit plate decorating class with one of the chefs, which the management is thinking about making a regular class.
We found the staff really engaged with the kids and were interested in what they wanted to do. It was nice to see they were really caring and hands-on.
[email protected] has a door that opens onto level 2 of Beachwalk and is now actually open to the public. It's just Rp70,000 an hour so heads-up parents, even if you aren't staying at the resort you can drop the kids off and shop.
For lunch we went over to Beachwalk and had ice cream…don't judge, we were on holiday. There are tons of real places to eat as well, but we were still full from breakfast so hand-scrolled ice cream from XOXO was our midday snack.
For dinner we stayed in the resort and went to Bene, where we started with a glass of wine on the rooftop (stunningly beautiful) and then moved downstairs. Bene is famous for its authentic Italian food and 100, yes 100, pasta dish possibilities. I'm always skeptical of 'authentic' food here in Bali, but honestly I haven't had Italian food this good since I was in Italy. We were so beyond stuffed full of pasta and pizza even the kids passed on dessert.
Feast Market Brunch
The food selection was excellent and the atmosphere really family friendly. There was even a kids corner with staff from the kids club in case you wanted to eat in peace. It was a really nice touch to go home with some fruit and great bread. The selection was a bit lacking by the time we got there at 2pm, but it was still great.
Definitely go hungry because there is so much to try! You'll want to go back again and again to make sure you get a taste of everything.
Shine Spa
Lastly, I have to talk about Shine Spa at Sheraton Bali a little. Lola and I had the Mum & Princess treatment together for a real treat. There is also a father/son option, but our boys would rather hang out on the beach.
Our treatment consisted of a full body scrub, massage and express manicure or pedicure. Since Lola is almost 5 years older than Marlow it was lovely for us to have some time alone together. She's also great at being pampered (just like her Momma). We were so relaxed, we both asleep at one point!
The staff in the spa were wonderful. They were obviously aware that Lola was still young and might be shy to say if the massage was too hard or she felt uncomfortable. She wasn't, but I could feel that they were thinking about her. The room was very cozy and the lighting perfect for drifting off for a little sleep.
I would definitely recommend this treatment or one by yourself at Shine Spa. The quality of the treatments was really impressive and even as I type this a week later, my nails still look great! Also, their ginger tea is delicious and I would go back just for that.

This is part #2, "Fraud a real possibility," of my "Steps in the development of my radiocarbon dating of the Turin Shroud hacker theory" series. In this series I will set out in chronological order the key steps in the development of my theory that the 1988 radiocarbon dating of the Shroud of Turin as "mediaeval ... AD 1260-1390"[2] was the result of a computer hacking. For more information about this series see part #1, "Hacking an explanation & Index." Emphases are mine unless otherwise indicated.
[Index] [Previous: Hacking an explanation & Index #1] [Next: My first use of the term "hacker" #3]
Fraud a real possibility On 9 January 2014, six and a half years
[Right (enlarge)[3]: The agnostic but pro- authenticist art historian Thomas de Wesselow's 2012 book on the Shroud, which pointed out that fraud was a real possibility in the 1260-1390 = 1325 ± 65 radiocarbon dating of the Shroud because, "Had anyone wished to discredit the Shroud, '1325 ± 65 years' is precisely the sort of date they would have looked to achieve." (see below). ]
after it first occurred to me in June 2007 that the fully computerised AMS radiocarbon dating of the Shroud could have been the result of a computer hacking, I began what was to be a 7-part series entitled, "The case for fraud in the 1988 radiocarbon dating of the Turin Shroud." Part 6 was to be, "Possible fraud scenarios in the dating of the Shroud," under which I would have included hacking of the AMS computers radiocarbon dating the Shroud at the three laboratories, Arizona, Zurich and Oxford.
As my post of 9 January 2014 states, "I had for a long time been thinking of posting on this topic [the 1260-1390 radiocarbon dating was the result of fraud, and in particular computer hacking fraud], and was prompted to do so by reading recently what the agnostic Shroud pro-authenticist, art historian Thomas de Wesselow, wrote":
"The third possibility [why `the 1988 result ... conflicts with all the evidence that points to the Shroud having been in existence long before 1260'] is that a fraud was perpetrated ... Most sindonologists regard these fraud theories as plainly incredible ... However, scientific fraud is by no means unknown, as the editors of science journals are well aware ... One important consideration weighs in favour of the possibility of deception. If the carbon-dating error was accidental, then it is a remarkable coincidence that the result tallies so well with the date always claimed by sceptics as the Shroud's historical debut. But if fraud was involved, then it wouldn't be a coincidence at all. Had anyone wished to discredit the Shroud, '1325 ± 65 years'[4] is precisely the sort of date they would have looked to achieve"[5].Between "plainly incredible" and "However, scientific fraud" in the above quote was, "Some, like Ian Wilson, refuse to contemplate such `unworthy' accusations." It was the influential Wilson's blanket refusal to consider fraud as an explanation of how the 1st century Shroud had a 13th-14th century radiocarbon date:
"For during both the preliminaries to and the immediate aftermath of the Shroud radiocarbon dating I struck up a moderate acquaintance with the British Museum's Dr Tite, the Oxford laboratory's Professor Hall and the Arizona laboratory's Professor Damon, from which experience I can say with some confidence that any scenario suggesting that one or more of these men may have `rigged' the radiocarbon dating ... may be judged as absurd and far-fetched as it is unworthy."[6](when it had to have been fraud of some kind) because those proposing fraud in the radiocarbon dating, including de Wesselow above, could only think of sample-switching, which is "incredible" [see 23Jul15], that made it hard for me to propose fraud by computer hacking. But it was my reading in early January 2014 the above serious consideration of fraud in the radiocarbon dating of the Shroud by de Wesselow, because of the `too good to be true' "1325 ± 65 years" radiocarbon date, that encouraged me to start a series presenting "The case for fraud in the 1988 radiocarbon dating of the Turin Shroud," at the end of which I would propose fraud by computer hacking.
But as the note above my 9 January 2014 post says, I had (in late January 2014): "realised that this topic is going to require a lot of research, which will distract me" from other topics I wanted to post on, so I "put... it on the backburner."
Then in late March 2014, I added a later note: "PS: Further to the above, see my series, "Were the radiocarbon dating laboratories duped by a computer hacker?": part 1 [18Feb14], part 2 [20Feb14], part 3 [22Feb14], "Summary" [07Mar14] and "My replies to Dr. Timothy Jull and Prof. Christopher Ramsey." [13Mar14]. So by mid-March 2014 my hacker theory was well underway!Continued in part #3 of this series.

You Have to See Kate Hudson's Mesmerizing Copper Lip
Josh Brasted/Getty
Here at Byrdie HQ, we're a little over the no-makeup makeup trend. If you aren't planning to go truly makeup-free, you should just own it, right? Which is why we were so giddy to see the latest look from Kate Hudson: a fiery copper lip that's perfect for fall.
At the New Orleans premiere of Deepwater Horizon, Hudson stepped out in head-to-toe red, save for her shiny metallic lips. The look was actually inspired by a total stranger who Hudson saw in passing. Whoever this woman is, she was #lipstickgoals, and Kate Hudson took notice.
Celeb makeup artist Debra Ferullo used a multitude of products to achieve that lit-from-within lip.
Keep scrolling to learn how to replicate Hudson's look for yourself!
We have good news and bad news. Bad news first: Ferullo used a mix of custom Kryolan colors that aren't available together in one palette. The good news is that the brand's LRS 111 5-color palette offers two colors that look delightfully similar to Hudson's copper shade. Try mixing the first and last shades to achieve that rosy metal hue.
After applying the base color, Ferullo pressed loose gold powder onto the lips. The glitter lends that enviable reflective finish. We love NYX Face and Body Glitter ($6) for an inexpensive sparkle. And that's it! Two easy steps to a statement-making pout.
The rest of Hudson's look remained simple. Ferullo used Physicians Formula Kit Eye Booster Instant Lash Extension ($16) and Shimmer Strips Eye-Enhancing Shadow and Liner ($10) to subtly enhance Hudson's eyes, while keeping the lips as the focal point.

Passer Appraisals Week 5: Jameis Winston and Dak Prescott
Each week at TwoQBs.com I will post an article on two notable quarterback performances over the prior week. This week we will be looking at Jameis Winston of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys.
The Buccaneers lost 19-14 to the Patriots this past week. Jameis Winston completed 26-of-46 passes for 334 yards and one touchdown, also scrambling for 11 yards on three attempts (56.52%). In his career, Winston has 751 completions on 1,256 attempts—a 59.8 percent completion rate.
The game started out slow, with the first points (a field goal) not occurring until 1:20 left in the first quarter. Both teams were struggling to get any real momentum. This might be part of the reason he made a notably bad play at the end of the first quarter. On 2nd-and-9 with about 48 seconds remaining, he took a snap from under center, faked to his running back and felt pressure as defensive lineman Trey Flowers broke loose from Bucs center Evan Smith. As Flowers circled toward Winston to wrap him up, Winston hurled the ball up into the air (a slow hanging-in-the-air throw) about five feet in front of DeSean Jackson with three defenders around him. Fortunately for Winston, the ball landed in the field of play without being touche—but almost all the time you do this, the ball will be picked off. It's a very risky sort of play you might expect from Brett Favre or Jay Cutler, but seeing it in Winston shouldn't come as a surprise. One of his criticisms coming out of Florida State was that he was throwing balls up for Kelvin Benjamin to come down with and that Benjamin was the reason for the team's success rather than Winston. When he's in a pressured situation like this his better option would be to tuck the ball, and take the sack or throw it out of bounds. Hopefully the team can tone down his "YOLO" mentality a bit as time goes on.
With two and a half minutes left in the second quarter, he made an almost identical play to DeSean Jackson. From their own 26-yard line, he took a snap from the shotgun, and with almost no pressure, he gently lofted a ball thirty yards downfield into the arms of safety Duron Harmon. Fortunately for Winston, Harmon's leg got hooked on cornerback Malcolm Butler and DeSean Jackson, and Harmon couldn't hold onto it on his way to the ground.
To be fair, there were many times in this game I wished Winston's receivers did a better job of catching the ball, but Winston had his own issues. It was more often that Winston's timing, speed of the throw and accuracy were very questionable. In the end, as fantasy owners, you want yards and touchdowns with few interceptions, regardless of how many incompletions there were. Winston is somewhat reliable in that area, with a long career ahead of him.
In typical Winston fashion, with the Bucs down by nine points with less than five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, he and the offense started to get it together. A lot of 10-yard throws and some good runs by the offense put the team in scoring position more than once, but kicker Nick Folk had missed those nine points in field goal attempts. Things were looking grim. On a 2nd-and-10 from the Patriots' 18-yard line with 2:15 remaining, Winston threw a perfect pass straight up the middle of the field to Cameron Brate in the end zone for a touchdown. Brate had two defenders on top of him and two more nearby, but anyone who streamed Winston against the Patriots finally had a touchdown to add to the stat sheet. After a Patriots field goal, the Bucs came out again to try to get a one-minute touchdown, and got the ball all the way downfield on several 20-yard attempts, but eventually ran out of time. It was clear this loss was on the shoulders of the kicker, but Winston could have been a lot more efficient before the team ever got into desperation mode in the fourth quarter.
Fantasy recommendation:
I would love to have Winston in a best-ball league where you can take the high weeks and low weeks and not need to try to decide whether to start him or not. All indications before the game were that the team "points against" for a quarterback plus a healthy Bucs offense (including their returning-from-suspension running back Doug Martin) were in favor of Winston being a top-five quarterback this week. Instead, his one touchdown and 334 yards barely kept him inside the top 10 ahead of Philip Rivers and—gag—Jacoby Brissett. For redraft purposes, I'd hold on to Winston and use him, but I can't consider him to be more than an inconsistent QB2 on a weekly basis. If I owned him in dynasty I'd be looking to sell him for a prospective early first-round pick after the Bucs and he have a good week.
While the Cowboys lost at home to the Packers this week, the play of Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott was on point. He completed 25 of his 36 pass attempts for 251 yards and scored three touchdowns to go along with one interception. He rushed four times for 37 yards and an additional touchdown. For the year, Prescott has 1,192 yards passing (averaging 238 per game) with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions plus 16 rushes for 126 yards and another two touchdowns.
Prescott came out hot in this game. At 13:50 in the first quarter on their own 22-yard line, he took a snap from shotgun and stepped up through a collapsing pocket. Green Bay linebacker Nick Perry stepped through the crowd and tackled Prescott by his left (planted) foot as Prescott got the throw off. The ball traveled 50 yards to be caught by Brice Butler at the Green Bay 43-yard line. Butler was able to juke his way out of a tackle and ran the ball out of bounds at the Packers' 29-yard line. Of course, this play got the team and fans cheering, and momentum went toward Dallas for a while. After a few running plays and short gains and the benefit of a bad call on pass interference, the team scored on a short Prescott pass to Cole Beasley from the 2-yard line. The Cowboys were up 7-0 halfway through the first quarter and the home crowd was loving it.
As the second quarter began another notable play happened. Prescott took a snap from the shotgun on a 3rd-and-6 play from the Packers' 25-yard line—an obvious pass play situation. La'el Collins, tackle for the Cowboys, was stood up and pushed off balance by edge rusher Nick Perry. Perry raced around Collins and pursued Prescott off to the right. While running with his eyes staring downfield again, Prescott locked onto 6-foot-3 fullback Rod Smith. Prescott kicked out and threw across his body to deliver a perfect 31-yard strike to Smith coming back toward him. Smith was somehow dragged down by a safety clearly shorter and lighter than he was, keeping the drive alive and giving the team a 1st-an-goal on the Green Bay 7-yard line. Two plays later and Cole Beasley was catching a touchdown pass in the center of the end zone from Prescott and giving Dallas the lead.
From beginning to end, this game was a gutsy performance between two great offenses. Dallas wound up losing to a one-minute masterful drive at the end of the game by Green Bay, but Prescott and the Cowboys put up 31 points and could have won the game if not for that one spectacular drive. More importantly for fantasy purposes, Prescott is within six points of the highest scoring fantasy quarterback through five weeks (including averaging the four quarterbacks that were on bye last week). He's on pace for 3,814 yards with 41 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Those are easily top-12 numbers, making him a no-brainer QB1 in redraft.
Fantasy recommendation:
Look, I'll be honest. I haven't been a big Prescott fan over the past year. His original draft pedigree along with the top-tier offensive line last year made me worry he would falter as soon as they lost some players, but the 2016 rookie of the year hasn't disappointed. In dynasty or redraft 2QB or superflex leagues, I'd be buying. In dynasty, I'd offer a 2018 mid-first for him and if I was going to sell, I'd ask for an expected 1.01 plus a late first for him. He's going to be the franchise quarterback in Dallas for the expected future and will set the bar for a quarterback contract long before his rookie contract expires in 2020.
Non-Quarterback Thoughts
Buy Sterling Shepard in dynasty if possible. You should have been buying him long ago.
I keep waiting for Zay Jones to live up to my dreams for him. I still have faith in you Zay. But it hurts.
Tight end Austin Hooper has a long career ahead of him in Atlanta. He's barely past his rookie season.
I'm deaf in one ear and never had a chance to serve our country in the Armed Forces, something that still bothers me 30 years later. So, my opinion may not be worth a hill of beans to some. But if kneeling during The National Anthem as a peaceful protest gets two thumbs up from Army Green Beret veteran and former Seahawks long-snapper Nate Boyer, it's okay with me.
Can't wait for Willie Snead, Stefon Diggs, and John Brown to be all playing at the same time, as I invested heavily in those three in redraft.
Go and check all your leagues to make sure Aaron Jones, J.D. McKissic, and Matt Breida are taken. I was amazed to find them still available in some dynasty leagues.

Since its onset, BoxCast has prided itself on making the live video streaming process – once complex and costly – simple, reliable, and affordable.
"Making customer broadcasts available on Roku and AppleTV makes it easier than ever for our customers to share their content," says BoxCast Software Craftsman Mike Griffith. "We're out to make the streaming process as simple as possible for broadcasters and viewers. The decision to integrate with Roku and AppleTV was an obvious one."
The feature is available to any customer on a High Definition streaming plan. Customers must simply opt in to join the BoxCast channel and their content will be found by millions of people around the world.
BoxCast can also provide a software development kit (SDK) if a customer chooses to build a personalized Roku or AppleTV app that features BoxCast events. Should a customer not have software development expertise but still desire a Roku or AppleTV app, BoxCast is able to work with the customer to design, implement, and release a custom app.
BoxCast is a breakthrough streaming platform that makes it easy to deliver live, HD video to anyone, anywhere, on any device. Launched in 2013, BoxCast is headquartered in Cleveland, OH.

Uber has reached a $148 million settlement with the 50 US states and the District of Columbia for violating data breach reporting laws in its cover-up of a massive hack in 2016.
California led the nationwide settlement case following its own investigation of Uber's handling of the breach, where the ride-sharing company paid a hacker $100,000 to stay mum about the breach rather than alerting the more than 174,000 Uber drivers in California about the exposure of their information, including drivers' license numbers. The hack exposed data on some 57 million users nationwide.
Uber ultimately went public about the breach in November 2017. The settlement will be dispersed among the states and DC, and follows a previous settlement agreement with the Federal Trade Commission in April.

text: Fire and teens don't always make the best combination, but in this case they made for a great start to the week! After joining the adults for the main session in support of the Talents For Christ competitors, Students Alive! eased into the week with a campfire and s'mores on the shore of Chesapeake Bay. Students devoured delicious s'mores and hot cocoa provided by the generous staff at Sandy Cove Ministries, while mingling and playing games around the campfire. They are looking forward to the various activities and opportunities this week to learn about "Being the Body" of Christ. Hopefully this theme will equip students with a stronger understanding of and passion for their participation in the local church.

Vermont Wedding at Stowehof
Kimmie and Corby were married last Saturday on a rainy (then sunny, then rainy, then sunny) day in Stowe. When I first saw Kimmie walking up my porch last fall in her cowgirl boots and colorful skirt I thought to myself, "Oooh, I'm gonna like this girl."
At the end of our consultation as I mentioned some details including, "…if you decide you'd like to work with me…", Kimmie interjected, "Yeah, I already know I want to work with you." When a client and I are a good fit the decision to work together is pretty effortless.
The overall style we were going for was colorful and vibrant with some vintage inspired details…more of a retro-like vintage than classic-vintage. The bouquets were filled with fun jewel tones including dark blue delphinium, purple and lavender sweet peas, yellow freesia, orange ranunculus, raspberry pink roses, stock, mini-green hydrangea and sweet William. The attendants wore pewter dresses so the colorful blooms were the perfect contrast.
The centerpieces were designed in an eclectic mix of silver julep cups and pedestal bowls. The custom runners were a Tiffany blue…the perfect touch to finish the look! This color palette just makes you feel good.
The adorable flower girls carried wire baskets with colors to match the girls and corsages of orange and pink for the moms were just too sweet! Although the wedding eventually moved indoors (after another rain shower!), we optimistically set the ceremony flowers outside.
I saw Kimmie the day after their wedding and she was still beaming…smiling ear to ear, which made me smile brightly, too. Happy couples make my job so rewarding and when a bride tells me that the flowers exceeded her expectations, the groom was impressed, and I'm a "floral diva", well, I'm pretty much on cloud nine.
Congratulations to Kimmie & Corby!…and thanks for being an awesome couple with a super fun style that was a pleasure to work with!

Great blog Alison and the flowers look AMAZING!! It sounds like she was quite the bride and you guys were a great match. Flower Diva!! YES YOU ARE!!
So pretty! Amazing how nature's own palette goes stunning together no matter the color.
Thanks so much Hallie!
So true, Carey. You can't argue with natural beauty!

I Fucked Your Scout Leader Pretty Dirty 2018 – Katrina Jade, Tommy Gunn
The life of a student can be tough. Either you have everything set for you to enjoy the four best years of your life, or you have to live day to day, hoping for a miracle around every turn. Life on top must be great, you have a place to live, and car to drive and food to eat. Taking things for granted, the upper crust often uses the lower classes as their toys, punishing them for their status, and only allowing them to be themselves behind closed doors.

Davido's Name Cleared, Released By Police
Finally, music artist Davido has finally been cleared by the Police of any wrong doing and involvement in his friend, Tagbo's death case.
Davido's lawyer in an interview said that Davido has been allowed to go about his business after meeting with the police.
The 'IF' crooner David Adeleke took to his Instagram page to thank everyone who prayed for him.
Davido further stated that he's ready to now go back to making music.
Speaking exclusively with LIB, a member from Davido's legal team led by Norrison I. Quakers, SAN revealed that he has been released by the Police to go about his business as he's not guilty.
Read what the Lawyer said below:-
"We've been to Panti and my client has given a statement there too. It's clear from all the investigation, evidence and statements given so far that David was not at any point with the deceased after he left him alive at Shisha room as as such he's been released to go about his business.
Of course if called on to give any more information he would gladly. But in truth he only knew so much about the night and has reproduced this time and time again.
They've also observed the consistency between his statements and those of all the others interviewed. As as a result he's been allowed to go."

Hot on the heals of my piece on Video Games, Violence and Youth Ministry comes the new report from the Byron Review "Safer Children in a Digital World"
In particular I was interested to see the sections on video gaming in the report. In the Executive Summary they write:
The evidence on video games is discussed in Chapter 6. There are some possible negative
effects of violent content in games, but these only become 'harmful' when children present
other risk factors:
- There is some evidence of short term aggression from playing violent video games but no studies of whether this leads to long term effects.
- There is a correlation between playing violent games and aggressive behaviour, but this is not evidence that one causes the other.
However, we need to approach unequivocal claims of direct causes with caution – there is a strong body of ethnographic research which argues that context and the characteristics of each child will mediate the effects of playing video games. This means considering the media effects evidence in light of what we know about child development. We can use this to hypothesise about potential risks to children from playing some games, for example:
- Arousal brought on by some games can generate stress-like symptoms in children.
- Games are more likely to affect perceptions and expectations of the real world amongst younger children because of their less developed ability to distinguish between fact and fiction (due to the immaturity of the frontal cortex).
I know that this report is a UK commissioned report, and not Australian, but I think there could be some interesting points in it for us to look at and dialogue with, especially in the way that the internet, video games and internet games connect with our ministries.
One question that comes to mind is that of what is people's starting point when they name what is normal, or what a long term effect looks like. As a person in ministry with young people, and as a person coming from a Jesus perspective then my hoped for version "normal" is possibly different than some. In this I don't mean not tattooed, not pierced, straight, well mannered and moral, nor do i mean (just) people who are not more violent than others, instead I'm leaning towards peaceful activists, lovers of people, people who not only care that there are poor, but people who do something about it, people who work towards the kingdom of God…
So, as I read this report I am not only asking questions about protection and violence, or about human formation, but of discipleship and of how games and the internet feed our vision for the kingdom of God and the bringing of sight to the blind, peace to the oppressed.
One of the things that really impressed me about this report is that along with the summary and other related documents they created a summary specifically for young people to read and think about some of the issues. The report has a children's summary on it's website that you can download and check out. Some of the points made in the pdf file would be great tools in your discussions with young people about pop-culture and faith…
Cheers to Ian for linking to the Byron Review report.

The problem was that the teacher didn't explain the Hybrid A* algorithm - he just explained the normal A* algorithm, so I had to figure it out on my own. A few days later, I had found the pieces I needed and could build it. Because no-one else had really explained the algorithm, I decided to write this short summary.
- Junior: The Stanford entry in the urban challenge
- Practical search techniques in path planning for autonomous driving
Update! I finished implementing the Hybrid A Star algorithm. The car can now find a path from the bottom of the map to the top of the map in less than 1 second.
The biggest problem I had from a performance point of view was the search among the open nodes for the node with lowest cost f. After a few attempts with different algorithms I realized that a heap was the fastest algorithm.
I also realized that using two lists (or arrays) for the closed nodes produced the best result. One list should contain nodes where the car is driving forward and the other should contain nodes where the car is reversing. So the car can reverse into a node where it was previously driving forward. This will result in more expanded nodes and thus slower performance, but I think it produces a better result.
This is how the basic algorithm looks like:
Test it and download the source code
If you want to test the latest version of the algorithm and download the source code, you can find it here: Self-driving car

Been very busy getting ready for the Dec. 5 opening to exhibit for my Norse Mythology works. I know it will all come together, but so much to do still.
I'm excited to announce that I'm getting ready to upload my newly overhauled website! The url will be the same: caranilsenart.com, but it will be MUCH better. It currently has the problem of being "frozen in time" from 6 or 7 years ago when I built it. It was not user-friendly for editing, and then the program I used to make it became obsolete several years ago. Oops.
I built the new one using Squarespace and I think it will be pretty easy to keep current. I'll also have nifty stuff like a store where people can buy prints, etc. Exciting.
Well, many other little things to take care of this week, then the fun of the show opening at CSUF's Titan Student Union Atrium Gallery 4-7pm this Saturday 12/5.

I choose mine depending on time of the day and mood..in the morning I prefer to go for the Gingembre Rouge which thanks to its pomegranate extract gives me a real kick of energy for the day while keeping me fresh. At night after a warm bath I prefer to go for Fleur de Figuier which thanks to its fig flower extract and valuable distilled essences of grapefruit, cumin and mandarin has a real relaxing effect on the body and mind.
The deodorants, in a roll-on form, offer an effective solution against perspiration, while also carefully caring for the skin. I really like them as I find them very effective and I love how they leave a fresh and pleasant fragrance on skin.
The skin under the armpits is very thin and delicate and if you shave or wax is also subject to irritations. This is why a deodorant needs to effective but also gentle enough not to irritate this already delicate part.
The new deodorants from Roger & Gallet contain soothing aloe vera and treating extracts of precious flowers and fruits, ultra-absorbent perlite and salts of aluminum which prevent the formation of bacteria that generate odor and hold perspiration in check. Their formula, with up to 95% natural active ingredients, ensures that the sensitive underarm skin unde remain supple and neat. Their fresh texture penetrates immediately and leaves no trace on the clothes.
Available in the versions Gingembre Rouge, Bois d'Orange, Fleur de Figuier and Fleur d'Osmanthus.

If you have a limited space, we try to incorporate all the basic features so that you can still have a great outdoor cooking experience. Meanwhile, we suggest more features if you have a large outdoor area. This may include outfitting your kitchen with larger countertops, grills, and ovens.

Published on: 11 May 2018
The Rift goggle is a hybrid mask which features Biofuse®® Technology for maximum visibility and comfort. The child-friendly design means the goggle is quick and easy to adjust, and the anti-fog technology ensures clarity underwater.
Speedo gave their research and development team a challenge they couldn't refuse: To develop a goggle so comfortable, you'd almost forget you were wearing them. The result is their ground-breaking Speedo Biofuse® technology, which offers optimum goggle comfort.
As every face is different, Speedo Biofuse® goggles have been designed to feature deeper and softer seals than traditional goggles, allowing them to fit snugly to the eyes' contours.
Created with soft, flexible, and gel-like materials, Speedo Biofuse® goggles stretch around the contours of your face to offer a snug, comfortable fit. A flexible outer frame fits perfectly to your face's contours, while a durable inner frame – encased in a soft gel-like skin – ensures they keep the right shape for your face, for both comfort and performance during your swim.
