CHICAGO -- Joe Girardi, considered a leading candidate for
the Chicago Cubs' managing job, interviewed for the position on
The Florida Marlins fired Girardi last week. Girardi guided them
to a 78-84 record and kept them in contention for a playoff spot
until late September despite having the majors' youngest team and
lowest payroll.
"Joe and I spent the better part of the day together," Cubs
general manager Jim Hendry said. "I thought it went very well, and
I think Joe appreciated coming down to Wrigley Field and seeing a
lot of the people he knew from his playing days here."
The Cubs chose not to bring back manager Dusty Baker when his
contract expired after going 66-96.
Known for his gritty play and catching skills, Girardi began his
career with the Cubs in 1989 and spent his first four seasons with
the team. He returned for three more years in 2000 and made the
All-Star team that season. His teammates in that second stretch
included current Cubs pitchers Mark Prior, Kerry Wood and
Carlos Zambrano.
General manager Jim Hendry, who was not available for comment,
plans to interview two internal candidates this week: Triple-A
manager Mike Quade and Double-A manager Pat Listach.

How the Marvel Team Constructed That Massive 'Captain America: Civil War' Airport Set Piece
Posted on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2016 by Jack Giroux
Thankfully, the trailers and TV spots for Captain America: Civil War haven't highlighted too much from the film's grandest and most intricate set piece. The airport fight sequence is stuffed to the brim with characters and conflicts — but it somehow never manages to feel overstuffed. What could've been total superhero chaos is instead a gracefully shot, character and plot-driven showdown.
Directors Joe & Anthony Russo have said the "splash panel" sequence was by far the toughest scene to pull off. Below, learn how screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the Russo brothers, and Marvel's Kevin Feige went about constructing the Captain America: Civil War airport set piece.

1. Field
The present invention relates to a standup dependent exercise apparatus that simulates walking, jogging and climbing with arm exercise that simulates rowing and ski pole motion. More particularly, the present invention relates to an exercise machine having separately supported treadles for the feet and arm exercise coordinated with the motion of the feet.
2. State of the Art
The benefits of regular exercise to improve overall health, appearance and longevity are well documented in the literature. For exercise enthusiasts the search continues for safe apparatus that provides total body exercise for maximum benefit in minimum time. PoleStriding refers to walking with a pair of ski poles for arm exercise as a total body exercise.
Clinical trials reported in the article "PoleStriding Exercise and Vitamin E for Management of Peripheral Vascular Disease" by Eileen G. Collins et al. appearing in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise 2003; 35(3):384-393 provide strong evidence that PoleStriding significantly improved exercise tolerance with reduced claudication pain in the participants of the trials. Other clinical trials such as "Effect of exercise on perceived quality of life of individuals with Parkinson's disease" by J. Baatile et al. appearing in VA Research & Development, Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development, Vol. 37, No. 5, September/October 2000 report improved quality of life after 8 weeks of PoleStriding. One common complaint of PoleStriding participants is the unusual appearance of walking in public with ski poles.
Magid in U.S. Pat. No. 5,538,489 shows a walker apparatus with left and right foot belts having independent belt movement. Yoshimura in U.S. Pat. Application No. 2001/0016542 shows a pair of tread belts pivoted in the front to provide independent stepper movement. Piaget et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,336,146 shows a pair of dual reciprocating treads pivoted in the rear acting independently against damper resistance. Speer et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 4,204,673 shows a dual-tread exercise having one tread for each foot. Liu in U.S. Pat. No. 5,669,856 shows a stepper exercise device also having dual treads.
Foster in U.S. Pat. No. 5,620,400 shows dependent forward pivot foot support members connected to hand levers for mountain climbing exercise. Chang in U.S. Pat. No. 4,961,570 shows dependent forward pivoted foot support members as part of a linkage having a crank to determine step range. Lo in U.S. Pat. No. 4,934,688 shows a dependent stepper that drives a flywheel. Kuo in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,989,857 and 5,039,087 uses forward pivoted foot support members powered by a motor through a crank.
The treadle category has the foot support members pivoted or guided rearward the operator allowing the foot to move up and down wherein the toe moves faster than the heel. Brown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,316,898 shows foot support members slidably pivoted rearward the operator with elliptical foot motion. Encke in U.S. Pat. No. 3,814,420 offers foot support members pivoted rearward the operator with treadle motion controlled by lever action. Eschenbach in U.S. Pat. No. 6,017,294 offers rearward pivoted treadle pedal movement coordinated with arm exercise. Gordon in U.S. Pat. No. 5,792,029 shows rearward pivoting foot support members that support foot trolleys for back and forth foot motion coordinated by belts to up and down foot support member motion.
Arm exercise with elliptical hand motion has recently appeared in the art. Yu in U.S. Pat. No. 6,022,296 shows a dependent stepper with elliptical hand motion. Rodgers, Jr. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,690,589 and Lin et al. in U.S. Pat. No. 5,769,760 show elliptical hand motion coordinated with elliptical foot motion.
There remains a need for a stationary exercise apparatus that simulates PoleStriding to give users the benefits of PoleStriding exercise reported in clinical trials without concern for weather or public appearance. There also remains a need to combine walking exercise with arm exercise having ski pole movements found in PoleStriding. There also remains a need to combine up and down inclined foot motion on tread belts having low knee stress with elliptical hand motion to exercise muscles in an alternative manner. There also remains a need for an exercise apparatus that provides climbing foot movements not found with stepper exercise apparatus combined with arm exercise.
One objective of the present invention is to provide total body exercise that simulates PoleStriding. Another objective of the present invention is to provide smooth up and down treadle motion with walking tread belt movement coordinated with elliptical hand movement. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a control system that allows the tread belts speed to be coordinated with the up and down treadle movement speed.
The present invention relates to the kinematic motion control of a pair of treadles each having a continuous tread belt to simulate walking, jogging and climbing during operation. More particularly, apparatus is provided that offers variable intensity exercise through a leg and arm operated cyclic motion in which the treadle supporting each foot is guided through successive positions during the up and down motion cycle while a load resistance acts upon the mechanism.
The treadles are guided through up and down inclined movement with tread belts for walking foot movement and handles coordinated with treadle movement for elliptical hand movement to simulate PoleStriding.
In the preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes a pair of treadles each having a tread belt with each treadle pivoted rearward the user. The front end of each treadle is supported by a connecting link for up and down movement. A pair of cranks control the up and down movement of the connecting links. Handles with hand grips are removably attached to the upper ends of the connecting links. As the cranks rotate, the treadles move up and down while the hand grips follow an elliptical ski pole motion. The tread belts are motor driven to encourage walking or jogging uphill. Different arm exercise occurs such as rowing or ski pole movement depending upon the direction of crank rotation.
A flywheel and alternator are used with adjustable load resistance to ensure smooth motion. Of course, other forms of adjustable load resistance such as friction belt, magnetic, air fan, etc. can be used in lieu of the alternator. A motor is used to drive the tread belts for walking and jogging. Of course, the tread belts can be manually driven by the rearward movement of the feet acting against load resistance. Also the cranks can be motor driven to control the speed of the treadle motion. A control system is provided to adjustably coordinate the motor speed of the tread belts with the crank speed.
An alternate embodiment would replace the crank and connecting links as a treadle movement means with a linkage or flexible linking such as a belt and pulley to raise one treadle as the other lowers.
In summary, this invention provides the operator with stable treadles with tread belts having adjustable intensity motions that simulate walking, jogging and climbing with very low joint impact while offering reversible elliptical hand motion for coordinated upper body exercise to simulate PoleStriding.
The foregoing and other objects and features of the present invention will become more fully apparent from the following description and claims, taken in conjunction with the drawings. Understanding that these drawings depict only typical embodiments of the invention and are, therefore, not to be considered limiting of its scope or combinations, the invention will be described with additional specificity and detail through use of the accompanying drawings in which:
FIG. 1 is a right side elevation view of the preferred embodiment of an exercise machine constructed in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is the rear view of the preferred embodiment shown in FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings in detail, treadles 20,22 are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 in the most downward and upward positions of the preferred embodiment. Treadles 20,22 are pivotally connected to shaft 21 on one end and connected at pivots 27,29 to connecting links 28,30 on the other ends. Cranks 40,42 are connected to frame member 69 by crank bearing housing 35. Connecting links 28,30 are connected to cranks 40,42 at crank pivots 31,33. Rotation of cranks 40,42 cause treadles 20,22 to reciprocate up and down about shaft 21 with pivots 27,29 following arcuate paths (not shown).
Tread belt 24 is engaged with rollers 52 and 54 while tread belt 26 is engaged with rollers 56 and 58 (not shown). Rollers 52,56 are connected to treadles 20,22 at pivots 23,25. Rollers 54 and 58 are attached to shaft 21 which is supported to rotate by upright supports 81,83. Each tread belt 24,26 is supported between rollers 52,54 and 56,58 by decks 71, cushions 73 and cushion supports 75 attached to treadles 20,22.
Handles 32,34 are removably attached to the upper ends of connecting links 28,30. Knobs 64,66 can be loosened to remove handles 32,34 for walking or jogging only exercise. Hand rails 44,46 are attached to frame members 48,50 to aid in walk or jog only exercise. Hand grips 36,38 are attached to handles 32,34 and follow the elliptical curve 5 when cranks 40,42 are rotated for arm exercise.
Frame members 48,50 are connected by frame members 76,78 to rest upon a supporting surface. Uprights 79,81,83 are attached to frame member 76 to support shaft 21. Frame member 69 is attached to frame member 78 to support crank bearing housing 35, jackshaft 77 and alternator 49.
Pulley 39 is attached to cranks 40,42 and engaged with pulley 41 by chain 37. Pulleys 41 and 43 are attached to jackshaft 77. Belt 45 engages pulleys 43 and 47 to drive flywheel 51 and alternator 49. Pulley 67 is attached to shaft 21 and engaged with pulley 63 by belt 65. Motor 61 drives tread belts 24,26. It is understood that other forms of resistance such as magnetic, air fans, alternators, etc. may also be used.
Alternately, motor 61 can be a flywheel/alternator driven by tread belts 24,26 as the feet of the user move rearward towards shaft 21. Knobs 60,62 can be rotated to adjust the resistance to rotation of rollers 52,56. Conventional spring/disc resistance (not shown) can be used with knobs 60,62. Alternately, the alternator 49 can become a motor to drive cranks 40,42 to reciprocate treadles 20,22 and handles 32,34. Control system 53 is connected to alternator/motor 49 and motor/alternator 61 by conventional wiring (not shown) to connect wires 55,57,59.
Typical operation initiates when the user climbs upon treadles 20,22 with the right foot upon tread belt 24 and the left foot upon tread belt 26 using hand rails 44,46 for assist. Grasping hand grips 36,38, the user rotates the hand grips 36,38 along elliptical path 5 while the feet of the user pump treadles 20,22 up and down as cranks 40,42 rotate. Alternator 49 provides load resistance while flywheel 51 develops momentum to overcome the dead spot positions of cranks 40,42. Motor 61 starts to move the tread belts 24,26 by manual switching or automatic control. Tread belt speed can be adjusted manually or set to increase with an increase in crank 40,42 rotation speed. For convenience, the tread belt 40,42 speed control can be mounted upon one of hand grips 36,38 (not shown). An operator can use this PoleStriding simulator for long periods because the knees do not hurt after extensive exercise, as is common for some users of elliptical crosstrainers.
Hand grip 36,38 movement can be reversed to follow the elliptical path 5 in either direction of rotation to exercise different muscles. Handle 32,34 movement simulates PoleStriding wherein the walker grasps ski poles in each hand to assist walking.
Another variation of control, would connect shaft 21 to cranks 40,42 by a flexible linking such as a long chain (not shown) in lieu of motor 61 and a transmission (not shown) to change the speed ratio. As the cranks 40,42 are rotated, the tread belts 24,26 speed could be adjusted for different stride length.
Shroud 85 covers the cranks 40,42, connecting links 28,30, chain 37 and belt 45. Slots 68,70 allow the upper ends of connecting links 28,30 to exit shroud 85 during operation. Slots 72 and 74 (not shown) allow treadles 20,22 to exit shroud 85.
With handles 32,34 removed, treadles 20,22 can be pumped by the feet of a user to move up and down with each step while the hands of the user remain on hand rails 44,46 or hands free.
The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. The described embodiments are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative, and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is, therefore, indicated by the claims, rather than by foregoing description. All changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are to be embraced within their scope.

NEW YORK (AP) - Shares of BG Medicine Inc. rose sharply in their debut Friday, after the life sciences company increased the size of its initial public offering.
The stock gained 75 cents, or 10.7 percent, to $7.75 under the symbol "BGMD."
The Waltham, Mass., company offered 5 million shares at $7 apiece, up slightly from the 4.8 million it had previously expected to sell, which suggests $35 million in proceeds before expenses and discounts. The underwriters of the IPO will have the option to buy another 750,000 shares to cover excess demand.
BG Medicine's main product, BGM Galectin-3, is a test for a protein involved in heart failure. The manual version of its test was approved by U.S. regulators in October. However, the company said automated versions are necessary for the test to gain broader acceptance. BG Medicine has entered partnerships with Abbott Laboratories, Siemens AG, Alere, and bioMérieux, and it expects at least one of those partners to file for marketing approval of an automated version later this year.
Marketing approval for the automated version could come in 2012.
BG Medicine said it will use the proceeds from its IPO to fund the launch of the BGM Galectin-3 test and develop other product candidates.

Anti-drug campaigns make meth bugs look like the benchmark for addiction, but the truth is that you don't need meth to see them, and some meth addicts never do.

It's cheap, works wonders in a brawl, and it used to be distributed to Nazi troops during WWII.

In 2005, meth was a cheap alternative to the pricier drugs on the market, and it wasn't a crowded field. It was a new phenomenon for Lebanon.

The Three Worlds of Cycling
There are three "worlds" of cycling — and perhaps surprisingly they have very little to do with each other.
Two are much appreciated by those who practice them and are quite easy to do.
While the third often appears to be close to impossible. But it is far more important than the rest combined and multiplied by a thousand.
Let's have a look. (And pleas also check out the critical comments that follow.)
No footover bridges in the name of clean air!!
The following is a brilliant and important exchange on a topic that has a rich double meaning that is really worth getting across our idea-resistant noggins (heads, if you will) once and for all. If you believe that the most universal, the most fundamental, certainly the most responsible, even the noblest form of getting round is when we can make our trips safely by foot (or wheelchair if that is what we need to be independently mobile), than you as a responsible politician, administrator, planner or engaged voter, simply would not even for one minute consider engaging in this kind of folly.
So what you have here is an exchange that got started more than five years, and to which Syed Saiful Alam has so well stated in the last posting in this short series, when he stubbornly repeats "No footover bridges in the name of clean air!!", "No footover bridges in the name of clean air!!".
Let's take their postings in chrono order.

INVITATIONAL THINKING EXERCISE: Why Ubernomics could be fatal to itself, its customers and mass transit?
Commentary and reflection on an article originally appearing in a Geek Wire posting by Bob Sullivan on 24 January – which when posted last week to our World Streets Online Facebook site at https://www.facebook.com/WorldStreetsOnline attracted considerable attention. In the posting that follows, we propose an open thinking exercise in three parts which you are invited to join.
There is a revolution going on that is going to change the face of transport in and around cities in a way that no other has in the last century. The starting point is that humble taxi that you cannot always find when you need it most — that is to say a rolling metal box with rubber tires, a human being at the wheel, and some kind of engine propelling it along, with or without human cargo. But this thing, this taxi as it is called, is in the process of being reinvented as a rolling, pliant always-on 21st century information system. And of course we are looking into this closely in the pages of World Streets.
"Worst Practices": Regulations that prohibit shared taxis anywhere on the planet
"Regulations that prohibit shared taxis are an example of worst practice." – Ann Hackett
In eleven short words Ann Hackett has put her finger on one of the most egregious "Worst Practices" in our field. And, as it happens, one that we know enough about to easily resolve.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
The weighty and grim sixth installment of Erikson's Malazan Book of the Fallen (chronologically following 2006's House of Chains, with references to 2007 tie-in Midnight Tides) is named for a newly minted company in the Malazan 14th Army, forged in a daring and nearly fatal effort to escape a city destroyed by fire by burrowing through its skeletal underbelly. The Bonehunters' return from the dead is a theme that appears throughout this volume, as the prophetess Sha'ik dies and is reborn as a plague maiden, warriors recover from hideous wounds, and seer Ganoes Paran strikes a bargain with the dread god Hood that just might end up saving the world. Erikson brings the bulk of his enormous cast together in one volume for the first time, an effort designed to keep fans engaged as myriad plot lines tangle and sprawl over an increasingly bleak and war-ravaged landscape. (Sept.)

From Booklist
The fourth Malazan Book of the Fallen is aptly titled. The Malazan 14th Army warily combs the ruins of the Seven Cities Rebellion for what may be left of its dead, meanwhile straining what's left of its morale. The Crippled God has joined the pantheon, and at least half his numerous fellow deities are trying to expel him. A war of the gods impends, and while it will cost the usual high price in collateral damage among humans, Erikson will handle it with originality and strong impact, given that even the sympathetic characters are becoming people you wouldn't want holding your IOUs.

I read in one review that book 6 was supposed to finish some of the stories, but to be honest i found that it asked new questions whilst answering some old ones.
Every chapter is captivating and i couldnt wait to see what would happen to Karsa Orlong, Mappo Trell and Icarium, Apsalar, Quick Ben and Kalam. Lets not forget the gods that have come into play as well.
You have to read this book. But first make sure that you buy all the others and read them first. I am very jealous of all those who are reading this series for the first time.
Enjoy it, i know you will
The Bonehunters, now , is a perfect example of two of the best traits Erikson, as a writer, has in store for us. Namely dialogue and convergence. The dialogue is not only very natural it's also extremely witty and an excellent way to transfer meaning. Sarcasm, irony, wit, indeed every feeling ever conveyed, it's all in the dialogue. As for convergence, Erikson is a master of it; within each novel but what's more important, and what becomes especially clear in The Bonehunters, within the overall arc of the entire series. It's not for nothing that part 10 is called The Crippled God!
So is there nothing to remark upon? Well, yes there is, but that particular complaint might cease to exist when the entire series has come to an end and things that now seem to have the aura of a Deus Ex Machina might then be entirely self-explanatory (although the term 'self-explanatory' does not really befit the Malazan Book of the Fallen).
So from me nothing but praise for The Bonehunters and as we are returning to the continent of Lether in the next installment, I'll say "Roll on Reaper's Gale!"
There is only one truly new character (Karsa's companion); all others have appeared in previously in this series.
I find that concentrating on one story line at a time is an aid... once you've read the book completely at least once.
The crack another reviewer made concerning Robert Jordan is apt. It was possible to pick up any volume in the first five volumes of the series and enjoy the read, unlike 'The Wheel of Time' series. It is not the case here though; you really do need to read the second and fourth.
The mystery and plot twists and the foretelling are a delight in these series. Some very epic characters that you wish he wrote a little more on.

Friends and colleagues alike tell me I'm not a very nice person. That hurts. Personally, I think I'm alright most of the time. Past the insults and general horribleness, anyway.
I'm not that bad, really.
Falling asleep pretty quickly is also a specialty of mine. Which is kind of more a hindrance than a skill, really. Well, depending on the situation, anyway.
My Netflix queue is probably like 100 movies and TV shows deep by now. It's kind of overwhelming.
I like movies. I go to the cinema at least once a week usually, yet I've never bothered signing up for that Unlimited thing. I've also kept a log of practically every movie that I've ever watched, for no apparent reason. Favourites include Vanilla Sky, The Fountain, The Science of Sleep, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Her, and Ghost World.
TV shows are more of a flavour of the week thing with me, because I get through them so fast. I love me some shows that I think are probably aimed just for teenage girls. I also watch anime, and I have a thing for cheesy Korean dramas. I can relate with Mordecai from Regular Show. This video is about the most accurate depiction of my life that I've ever seen. http://youtu.be/KmFa7ol9HjE
I'll add video games in to here as well. Despite feeling like I don't have enough time to play them recently, because I'm so busy with doing absolutely nothing else, I'll still buy every single console released and any games that interest me in the slightest. This has left me with a lighter pocket and a lot less space in my bedroom.
When it comes to music, I tend to listen to one thing for a week or two at a time, and then alternate between them. Things listened to as of late include Sigur Rós, M83, Porter Robinson and Future Islands. Along with these, other stuff I'll always go back to are Wild Nothing, Cliff Martinez, Cocteau Twins, Placebo, Joanna Newsom, Alexisonfire and The Smiths.
I think my brain's not quite creative enough to imagine the worlds and scenarios that I'm reading in books sometimes. I can never think big enough, and I find I get far too distracted by things around me to keep my attention on the words on a page. I mostly just read comics and manga, probably because of this, which helps solve some of those problems. Sandman and Scott Pilgrim are at the top.
I don't eat a lot of food. Mainly just Coco Pops.
Keep in mind that I am actually cripplingly socially inept, so me ever messaging you first might be a long shot. But if you think we might get along, give it a go, because I probably won't.

That's what I found, Dove.
Have been so busy this evening, trying to pack and water everything.
Think that is a Calla Runnybeak. Very elegant.
Sunrise is gorgeous.
I kept mine in boxes of dry compost in the garage and they died. Perhaps it's just too cold here, often -10° in winter.
Dove, my French mobile usually works well in England, but no signal here, until I get in the car and drive down the road! So I haven't had your message! I had an email notification from GW to say I had a PM but the link didn't work! I'll click on my avatar and see if that works.
Thank you Topbird.
Gosh, France is ahead of Scotland. I missed most of my Bowl of Beauty because it flowered in early June, then we went to New York.
Lovely photos everyone.
Dove, your PM say it doesn't accept PMs either! Must be a fault with the site. Have sent you an email. I got the name of the village wrong, it's the one you mentioned in your previous email.
OK Dove. I do accept PMs. Is the forum playing up too? Will try a PM.
If you click on the person's avatar picture you will get their profile, if they've written one.
My garden is getting over blown and is suffering from the heat.
You've done wonders, Wonky. Good luck!

Aston Villa v Bradford Odds: Bantams bid to complete cup upset at Villa Park
Aston Villa have it all to do ahead of the second leg of their Capital One Cup semi-final with Bradford at Villa Park on Tuesday evening. The Premier League side find themselves 3-1 down from the first leg and in real danger of being the latest top-flight club to be knocked out of this competition by the League Two 'giant killers'.
The Bantams were brilliant in the first match and thoroughly deserved their win, with Bet 365 making them 8/11 odds on favourites to qualify for their first Wembley final in 16 years. Villa meanwhile are 11/10 to qualify and they have little choice but to attack from the off this week. Paul Lambert's side are 4/11 odds on to win the match in 90 minutes but can they turn around this 3-1 deficit?
Villa look to have the attacking power to cause Bradford problems as Christian Benteke grabbed his 10th goal of the season in the 2-2 draw at West Brom on Saturday. The Belgian is 3/1 favourite to score first this week, while his strike partner Gabriel Agbonlahor, who has scored five goals in his last seven League Cup appearances, can be backed at 5/1 after getting on the scoresheet at the Hawthorns.
Both of Villa's goals were set up by a rejuvenated Charles N'Zogbia and the winger looked like his old self. He was at the heart of everything Villa produced in the attacking third against the Baggies and his thrusting runs could cause Bradford problems, with Bet365 offering a best price 10/1 N'Zogbia scores first and 11/4 he scores anytime.
However, Villa threw away a two-goal lead against West Brom as their flimsy defence again buckled under the weight of pressure. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 matches now and find themselves languishing just a point and a place above the relegation zone.
It is those defensive weaknesses which will have Lambert pulling his hair out and Villa have now conceded the joint-most goals from set-pieces in the Premier League this term (15 with Wigan). It is no surprise that all three of Bradford's goals came from set-pieces in the first leg of this tie and the method of Tuesday's first goal to be scored with a header can be backed at 15/4 with B365.
Bradford, who are 10th in League Two, have only kept one clean sheet in 10 themselves and over 3.5 goals is available at 6/4 this week. Phil Parkinson's team boast enough of an attacking threat to cause Villa problems and he sensibly rested key players in the Football League Trophy defeat to Crewe last week, while they have had the benefit of an extra few days rest after their League Two match with Port Vale was postponed on Saturday.
It will be interesting to see how Bradford approach the match as they bid to add Villa to their list of Premier League scalps, which includes Wigan and Arsenal so far. They look capable of holding on to their first leg advantage and Villa may ultimately come up short, with Villa to win by a one-goal margin looking decent value at 5/2, which would of course mean Bradford progress to an historic finale.

It's OK. Think the sky is the limit. Dare to dream. You want the best, your projects are complex and need the best. Your project clients would appreciate having and paying for the best.
So how do you get the best? How do you locate and hire the best project management talent available? Be open, throw out your rigid hiring practices, and see what happens...to start with. And then stick to these three concepts.
1. Look everywhere. You want the best? Then don't limit your search to local avenues or to a certain geographical area. Look everywhere and then be ready to be a bit flexible in the work arrangement or relocation discussions in order to make it all work out with one or more of your top 3 finalist candidates. Are you going to pay for relocation? Are you able to pay well for relocation? Those are things you must consider before saying you can or are open to looking everywhere. If you can't afford that and if you won't be open to a remote arrangement (to be discussed further down), then you may not be looking to hire the best project manager available.
2. Go with experience. Is PMP or another PM certification worth it or necessary? Do you need it? Do your projects require it? Do you have external project clients that are in an industry or niche where it will be a requirement of the project manager you assign to their project? In the end it may be necessary for you to have a mix of certified and non-certified but very experienced. If the budget is tight I understand you may not be able to get the most experienced PMs available. In my book, experience trumps certification and I think you'll find that your project clients feel that way, too.
3. Be open to remote. Not everyone wants to relocate to Portland, Maine or Sioux Falls, South Dakota...or even relocate at all. Most like it right where they are and they live there for a reason. A lot of that incentive to relocate went away about 8 years ago when the job market and housing market went completely flat and it's just become so expensive to move around for jobs that most are hesitant or won't consider doing it. I know I never will again. Plus, job tenures are shorter now and more unstable as are many of the companies we work for. Be open to the project manager staying right where they are and managing the project remotely. If they are experienced, they will be able to handle the virtual team effectively and likely thrive. Plus, you tend to get even more than 40 hours out of the remote professional and they may be willing to accept your position offer for less than you might think.
Summary / call for input
Lots of factors can get in the way of finding the best talent for your projects. But if you want good, experienced project managers you can get them...and possibly save a few bucks in the process if you are flexible enough.
What are your thoughts? What hiring practices or suggestions work for you? Please share and discuss.

Bosch steam boiler system cleverly combined with solar heat Manufacturer of animal feed cuts energy costs by 15 per cent

- Press releases

press release
The Universal UL-S steam boiler from Bosch with an output of 2,500 kg/h provides the process heat required to produce the animal feed. The saturated steam is introduced directly into the product, meaning that the amount of condensate that is returned is very low. A solar thermal system with an installed collector area of 320 m² is used to help preheat the feed water.
The fresh water needed is taken from the company's own well, treated and then supplied to a 6,000-litre heat storage tank. The solar collectors absorb the sun's energy and pass it on to the water in the heat storage tank via a heat exchanger.
The WSM-V water service module deaerates the make-up water. It is heated to 103 °C. The gases contained in the water dissolve and leave the deaeration system with a small quantity of steam, known as exhaust vapour. The VC vapour cooler uses the thermal energy contained in the exhaust vapour and feeds it back to the water service module. Heating-up steam is saved and the energy efficiency of the system increased.
The feed water itself is heated further in the economiser, reducing the flue gas temperature of the boiler. In order to make additional use of the flue gas condensate, a condensing heat exchanger made of stainless steel is installed downstream of the economiser. The make-up water preheated by solar heat absorbs the condensation heat before it is supplied to the feed water tank via the exhaust vapour heat exchanger and deaerator dome.
The boiler equipment also includes the low-emission natural gas firing system with oxygen control. This continually measures the oxygen content in the flue gas and controls the air supply accordingly. Modern touchscreen controls with a teleservice connection enable the system to be operated reliably and based on individual requirements.
Thanks to the use of solar energy and heat recovery facilities, Fixkraft benefits from a highly efficient and environmentally-friendly steam supply. Energy use is reduced and efficiency increased.
Bosch Industriekessel GmbH, part of the Bosch Thermotechnik GmbH, has stood for innovation in industrial boiler technology for more than 145 years. Boiler systems for steam, hot water and heating, manufactured to customers' specification, provide efficient heating and process heat for all applications. Boiler house components, which are modular in design and perfectly coordinated, together with intelligent regulation and control technology, significantly simplify the planning, installation and commissioning of the complete system. Comprehensive service support from one source rounds off the innovative product portfolio.

I started dieting from the start of September, and in the first 3 weeks without Slim fast, I lost 12lbs. I stuck strictly to a healthy diet, with a minimum of 60 minutes exercise daily, and 2 hours when I can manage. In 2 weeks since using this, I have now lost another 5lbs.
So when I see these bad reviews, I can guarantee majority did not stay to a strict diet and exercise routine. You can just think one week "I'm resting", you have to stick to it if you want results. There have been so any days where it was easy to say "I'll just do 30 mins of exercise today", and if I hadn't pushed myself, I wouldn't have lost all this weight. If you aren't going to put the effort in yourself, don't expect to lose weight. I'm pretty sure most of these people slating slim fast don't exercise as much as you should be doing, eat the right portions and monitor their carbs, as well as cals and fat
Make sure you drink at least 2 litres of water daily, a good way to stick with this is have a glass of water 15 minutes before every meal. It will fill you up, which means you will have more self control over eating the right portions.
Pleasant taste, best done with cold milk & crushed ice, just whizz the ice with hand blender.
I make my shakes with coconut milk which might be what makes this taste great and it actually has a lower calorie content and a lot of benefits, cows milk was never meant for humans.
Each shake has 205 calories when made with kokos coconut milk (which you can buy on Amazon in packs of handy 250ml versions, no measuring, just pour and shake, perfect if you're on the go!) and I can proudly say in the past 3 days I have gone down 2 1/2 lbs I will be at my goal in no time :D

HighQ called 2015 the year of video marketing. Seventy-eight percent of people watch videos online each week. Fifty-five percent of people watch videos online every day. Using the word "video" in an email subject line increases open rates and click-throughs.
Anyone wanting to get in the video content game knows that rounding up customers for great testimonials can take a lot of time and planning. Gathering people who are influential in your industry to create engaging video content that your customers want to watch and share with their friends takes significant effort.
Wait a minute: All these people—all the people you need to create video marketing content—will be in one place at the same time. They will all be at SHOT Show.
SHOT Show is the perfect opportunity to create some fantastic video content that will not only get a lot of traction at the show, but will have a significant shelf life afterwards, as video content that can be used on your website and in your marketing efforts throughout the year.
Man On the Street Interviews
Guns.com put together a great compilation video at the 2015 SHOT Show that explores the topic of diversity in the gun industry. Take a look at that video and then think about a topic around which you might want to create a video.
Now, I know it's tempting to focus on your products or services, but think about the bigger picture. If you sell bows, do not ask people what they love about your brand. Instead, ask them to tell a story about their first memory of bow hunting. If you are trying to attract new people to the shooting sports, ask booth visitors to share a story about who had the biggest positive influence on them to get into shooting sports. Remember the 70/20/10 Rule I talked about in my post about building a Twitter following.
Customer Interviews
There is a lot to be said for unbiased customer reviews. A customer review carries a lot more weight than anything you can say about your own product or service. Ask your customers what products they find most useful. Ask them which features of a product they don't use and why they don't use them. And go ahead and ask them if there is anything they wished your company offered.
This kind customer feedback is valuable information you otherwise would never acquire so directly. Not only do you find out what people love, which you can then can share that with your potential customers, you find out what features you are either wasting time developing, as well as those that are misunderstood and need better clarification or instruction. Finally, asking customers what they wish you provided is gold to your product development team.
That said, when working with video at the SHOT Show, it's worth repeating that you do not need to focus solely on your products or services. You can also ask people stopping by your booth what one problem is they would like to solve in 2016. Or ask them what the biggest challenges are they face in their day-to-day operations.
