The week leading up to Man v Mountain was finally upon me, so it was basically time to keep my fingers crossed and hope that the training I had done was enough to carry me 20+ miles over Snowdon and the North Wales scenery. I still had to keep ticking over for the week leading up to the race, and who doesn't love a good taper? Read on for my time before, during, and after Man v Moutain 2015!
Race Week:
Monday: 8 miles steady
Tuesday: 45 mins Bodyweight cardio circuit
Wednesday: 6 x 1 km at pace + 30 burpees
Thursday: Rest/Travel
Friday: Rest/High Ropes
Saturday: Man v Mountain!
Sunday: Stretch & limp
Simple enough really, the steady run on the Monday produced a couple of worrying niggles in my left calf and hamstring which only seem to ease off when I'm running – solution = always be running. Thursday was 4 hours in a car which was miserable but on Friday we hit a high ropes course and got a bit a practice in for tackling obstacles and jumping off high objects!
Man v Mountain
On to Man v Mountain itself; I laid out and tried on my kit the night before just to be super safe everything was there and was comfortable, and woke up about 700 times throughout the night dreaming that we had overslept.
The race began at Caernarfon Castle, a great location to start an epic race, and after much discussion with friends and competitors about how we are all looking forward to the race but unsure how prepared we really were, followed by a good luck kiss from my fiance Chloe and eventual race-winner David Hellard we were off.
The above picture is an accurate depiction of exactly how I was feeling just before hitting the peak of Snowdon. The trails were long and steady, long and steady, long and steady, before reducing everybody to a walk/scramble up and around the rocky terrain. There were sections that made me feel guilty for walking, yet any attempt at running was quickly dismissed by my tiring legs, there were other sections which were steep enough to be using all of my limbs (all of them) to heave myself up and over.
After what felt like forever it was a relief to hit the (busy) peak and know that it would all be downhill from here (sort of).
Once again it was on to long, long, steady trails which were covered in loose slate and rocks, meaning that gaining too much speed could be fatal. In fact, my attitude in races was probably best summed up by a photographer who shouted at me "Don't look at me! You should be looking where you're putting your feet!". Fair enough. The descent here felt like it just went on forever and certainly took it's toll on my right knee, although both legs were feeling generally miserable by this point.
At so many points during the descent I thought to myself "I'm ready for this to be over" but it just kept going. before long, however, we were able to drop our bags off and tackle the vertical kilometre – and it was pretty much as awful as it sounds. I ran for about 20 metres of it (although that might even be an exaggeration) and was pretty much resigned to walking to the top. Again this just kept going, but was made up for by incredible sights and scenery around us (although I spent so much time looking at my bloody feet trying not to trip over I didn't get to appreciate too much of it!).
With the vertical kilometre (thankfully) over and done with, we were soon greeted by an abseil down from a railway bridge which was a great novelty to have during a race and perfectly safe despite how many people would be coming through it all day! Followed closely by a 'walk-the-plank' style obstacle – basically a jump from a ledge into a lake where the cold water refreshed the legs nicely! A few more swims and a slide brought us to the home straight where a couple of easily tackled high walls led us to the finish line! The relief at the end was incredible, as was the feeling in my legs – I think I described the feeling in my hamstrings on the day as "shattered glass" but as tends to happen with a race like this, the best cure for sore legs is a medal around your neck and a disgraceful amount of food!
All in all a great race, it very very long and I struggled with the distance more than I expected to – probably should have had a gel before dropping off my bag – but a great experience and epic course! This was the longest it has ever taken me to complete a race and the preliminary results have me in at 25th which is fine by me!

Now PE is RACIST says taxpayer-funded study that claims that teaching children to play football, rugby, cricket and netball favours 'white privilege'
School Physical Education lessons are racist, according to an astonishing taxpayer-funded study.
Teaching children to play football, rugby, cricket, netball and rounders favours 'privileged' white students, the politically correct 20-page report claims.
The research, which was criticised last night as 'ludicrous' and 'patronising' by a top black footballer, says sports that have been taught in schools for generations hark back to Britain's colonial past and make 'whiteness' the norm.
Its authors, who were given a grant of nearly £10,000 to examine PE classes in England and Norway, suggest that learning dances from different cultures should be given greater prominence. [But that would be "cultural appropriation"]
They add that the emphasis in PE on health and fitness could even be imposing Western ideals of how people's bodies should look.
They also claim that 'character-building' practises such as 'fair play' have European roots.
But last night former England football star Les Ferdinand, a black player who is now director of football at Queens Park Rangers, derided the study as 'ridiculous'.
He said he had never been aware of racism during his ten years of school PE and added: 'Ethnic minorities have gone on to play football and rugby for England and they have all gone through the same PE curriculum.
'This research is a waste of money and a waste of time. It is ludicrous.'
Lord Ouseley, who chairs the anti-racism football campaign Kick It Out, said it was 'crazy' to put such sports in 'a context of ethnicity and racism' as they were played all over the world.
He added: 'This research is an irrelevance and also patronising because people make their own decisions about their involvement in sport.'
The report – called A Whitewashed Curriculum? The Construction of Race in Contemporary PE Curriculum Policy – says traditional games were developed in the Victorian era by 'white privileged males' at elite public schools that often discriminated against minorities.
The study, written in often baffling jargon and published in the journal Sport, Education and Society, says the games have been used by the British as 'part of a civilising process' and transported around the world 'as an extension of nationalism and the Empire'.
The study was conducted by Anne Flintoff, Professor of Physical Education and Sport at Leeds Beckett University, and Fiona Dowling from the Norwegian School of Sport Sciences in Oslo. They received a grant of £9,940 from the largely taxpayer-funded British Academy to support their work.
Bizarrely, they say that by focusing on the need for 'healthy, active lives' there is 'a danger PE lessons can contribute to a recolonisation of ethnic minorities' physicality'.
Quoting from other research, they say: 'It is through the monocultural and ahistorical language of discourses of fatness and fitness in schools that young people's bodies, in subtle ways, are pedagogized to white ideals of the body.'
The report also states that PE is 'constructed as a predominantly white, unmarked space'.
Hate-filled Arizona social worker attacks blameless woman
Heather Whitten, from Arizona, is a documentary photographer and mother of four children. She struggled with infertility, fostering, and adoption to get to the place she is at today, and it's because of that struggle that she enjoys photographing scenes that document the downfalls and triumphs of motherhood.
One day, her son Fox fell ill, so her husband Thomas took him into the shower with him to provide him with comfort and relaxation. He helped the little boy bathe and that was it. Heather found nothing strange about it. She snapped a photograph of the two in the shower and posted it. "It was just beautiful. It was not surprising or anything out of the ordinary; it's how he has always been with the kids," she said.
Fox got over his illness a few days later. A few days was all it took for the photo to stir up a lot of commotion on the internet. It had been shared 32,000 times and 140,000 people reacted to it, before Facebook banned it twice. This all took place in May of 2016.
Most people loved the raw image, which portrayed raw parenthood. Parenthood isn't always glamorous, or what some would consider "appropriate." Sometimes you eat slobbery, discarded banana mush off of your baby's cheek and sometimes you accidentally wipe their diarrhea on your forehead when changing a diaper. What is so different about a shower or bath with a child that is too young to even find nakedness inappropriate yet?
Regardless, people have a right to their own opinions. And one individual felt compelled to write a letter of complaint to the Sahuarita Police Department. When the police dismissed the letter without taking action, an investigator from Arizona's Department of Child Safety spent the next few months dedicated to portraying Heather as an abusive mother, even neglectful. The investigator apparently had only a single interview with Heather about the photo, and that was the only interaction and background she had.
Heather admitted that she breastfed one of her children during the entire interview, without covering herself, which she was certain bothered the investigator. However, breastfeeding is protected by law, whether it be public or private, covered or uncovered.
The investigator's only claim was that Heather neglected to supervise her children by allowing images of them to be online, therefore putting them at an avoidable risk of harm. But Heather argued that as an artist, she has the right to share her work with the public. Heather felt there was not enough evidence, other than the investigator's bias against her, to put her in an unfavorable position. However, if the claim was substantiated, Heather would be added to Arizona's Central Registry for the next 25 years. She would no longer be able to foster or adopt children, or hold a position working with children.
The hearing was on February 3, 2017. On March 8, 2017, Heather posted the verdict to her Facebook with a creative photograph she took herself.
She wrote, "All claims unsubstantiated! Thank you for your time and your patience and your support! You showed up for me through shares and comments and emails and donations and letters and signatures. It's overwhelming and illuminating. Being able to bring my lawyer on board and to have such a big show of support behind me made all the difference! This case has shaped me, my family and my photography in ways that I can't even begin to explain. But, this part is over and we could not be more thrilled to put it all behind us! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
One hopes that the verdict totally discredits the horror social worker
Britain's many false rape allegations can have disastrous consequences
'I'm free from this living hell': Haunting last words of man who took his own life after fake rape claim... as police finally investigate accuser
A man accused of rape killed himself after police refused to believe that texts on his phone proved the sex had been consensual.
The accuser is now being investigated for perverting the course of justice, following an inquest at which a coroner said Ross Bullock, 38, took his own life because of the 'distress' caused by the allegation.
After his arrest in March 2015, Mr Bullock was questioned by police and bailed for a month despite showing them text messages that strongly suggested he was innocent. Even when officers decided against action, he was warned he could be charged at a later date.
Finally, after a 'year of torment', Mr Bullock hanged himself in the garage of the family home, leaving a note revealing he had 'hit rock bottom' and that with his death 'I'm free from this living hell'.
His body was found by his mother Carole. His father Ronald, 76, said: 'Ross would still be alive now if the police had dealt with the allegation sensitively.' And Mrs Bullock, 74, added: 'The allegation changed Ross as a person. He cut himself off.'
The Mail on Sunday has previously reported a series of cases that have exposed grave police failings over rape accusations.
Mr Bullock's parents may now take civil action against West Mercia Police and are calling for the accuser – who was in a relationship with another man when she and Ross had sex – to be charged. Police confirmed they are investigating an allegation of perverting the course of justice.
Mr Bullock, a forklift truck driver from Redditch, Worcestershire, met his accuser in February 2015 and they had sex at his workplace. The pair shared dozens of flirtatious texts afterwards.
In one exchange, Mr Bullock said: 'Well I hope u had a good time.' The woman replied: 'It was alright I suppose!! X.'
The Independent Office for Police Conduct confirmed Mr Bullock Snr had filed a complaint and the case was referred back to West Mercia. Its investigation concluded there was no case to answer.
Last night West Mercia Police said: 'Mr Bullock was arrested and released with no further action. We would like to offer his family our sincere condolences following his tragic death.'
Hogg Releases Own Ad, Utterly Humiliates Self With High School Mistake
Liberal anti-Second Amendment voices have found their new poster boy: David Hogg.
The Parkland student-turned-activist appears to have been given not just the spotlight but the entire stage in the gun control debate … but his sanctimonious tone and weak grasp of the facts keep getting in the way of his efforts to look less like a high school student and more like an authority on gun violence.
Hogg, 17, used the Florida shooting tragedy to leap into a role he seemed to have been long preparing for: A new media pseudo-journalist, pushing an anti-gun agenda by labeling even mild gun owners as evil and condemning every NRA member in America as having blood on their hands. Subtle.
Hogg — who was shoving a camera in students' faces for "interviews" even while the Parkland shooting was still unfolding — just released a video "PSA" that takes his already condescending and haughty attitude and turns it up to 11.
The "advertisement," which features the over the top teenager sternly lecturing Americans while framed by a stark black background, begins with this blunt and misinformed question: "What if our politicians weren't the b—- of the NRA?"
Apparently it's a bad thing that when millions of like-minded American gun owners speak, their representatives listen. With an ignorant lead like that, you know the sanctimony is off to a great start. Try to hold your nose.
"In the video, Hogg seizes on Trump's rope-a-dope of Democrats, whereby he made them believe he was open to every gun control imaginable, only to draw them out into the light and deny them every gun control they pushed," explained Breitbart News.
"He then points to Democrat Conor Lamb's victory over Republican Rick Saccone earlier in the week. Hogg suggests Lamb's victory is proof Americans have had 'enough,'" continued the news outlet.
Here's the problem: Even though Conor Lamb is a Democrat and did manage to barely defeat his opponent in a close race … he's not actually anti-gun. At least he claims not to be. Pretty much everybody following the race who's not in high school knew that.
Completing this poll entitles you to Conservative Tribune news updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
In fact, Lamb ran on a "Blue Dog Democrat" platform of supporting the Second Amendment, and opposes anti-gun programs like "high capacity" magazine bans.
"New gun laws aren't the answer to preventing more mass shootings like the one at a Florida high school," the newly elected congressman declared shortly after the Parkland tragedy.
In other words, when it comes to Lamb versus Hogg — is this "1984" or "Animal Farm?" — the winning candidate actually opposed gun-grabbing talking points, yet the teenage wanna-be media mogul is pretending that it was some sort of referendum on gun control.
"Democrats are celebrating the victory of gun-loving Conor Lamb in the Pennsylvania special election. What would those student gun control protestors say if they knew about that?" wondered an Investor's Business Daily editorial last week.
The answer, apparently, is that they're either too dense to notice, or are actively pushing a false narrative to fool the American people. We used to call this "lying."
Disingenuous statements and half-baked facts are a bit of a theme for David Hogg. "#WhatIf we could go to school without fearing for our lives?" he asked on Twitter, in a post that included the disdainful PSA.
You'd think from that question there are killers on the loose on every school campus … which are of course government-run and often controlled by liberals. It's just dripping with fear and bordering on hysteria — but what's the reality?
Well, there were about 51 million kids attending school in the United States as of 2017, according to data from the Department of Education.
And tragic school shootings? "Over the past quarter-century, on average about 10 students are slain in school shootings annually," stated criminology Professor James Alan Fox in USA Today.
Ten out of 51,000,000. Let's be clear: That's still a tragedy, and we can and should work to make it zero, but this is the statistic that in David Hogg's words makes students stage walkouts based on "fearing for our lives."
Do you know what kills ten times the number of school kids every year? Not guns. Bicycles.
"Compare the school fatality rate with the more than 100 school-age children accidentally killed each year riding their bikes or walking to school," Fox pointed out.
"Congress might be too timid to pass gun legislation to protect children, but how about a national bicycle helmet law for minors? Half of the states do not require them," he continued. "There is no NRA — National Riding Association — opposing that."
In other words, Hogg and all the rest of the anti-gun crowd are spreading panic to push an agenda. The mainstream media presumably knows these facts or could look them up, but can't be bothered. The truth might get in the way of of their Constitution-shredding motives.
If the teenage media darling wants so badly to play an adult and influence key laws in our nation, then he needs to face facts like an adult — and they're not even remotely on his side.
Political correctness is most pervasive in universities and colleges but I rarely report the incidents concerned here as I have a separate blog for educational matters.
American "liberals" often deny being Leftists and say that they are very different from the Communist rulers of other countries. The only real difference, however, is how much power they have. In America, their power is limited by democracy. To see what they WOULD be like with more power, look at where they ARE already very powerful: in America's educational system -- particularly in the universities and colleges. They show there the same respect for free-speech and political diversity that Stalin did: None. So look to the colleges to see what the whole country would be like if "liberals" had their way. It would be a dictatorship.

Before the NC House attempts to override Governor Pat McCrory's veto of the magistrates recusal bill, they might want to review the findings of an informal survey conducted by several of the state's Registers of Deeds.
Here's more from the Buncombe County Register of Deeds:
The majority of Registers of Deeds from across the state do not have a favorable opinion of Senate Bill 2, according to a survey released today.
This is the first such survey of the officials whose offices issue marriage licenses and who would therefore be required to implement Senate Bill 2.
Buncombe County Register of Deeds Drew Reisinger said he undertook the survey with the assistance of several fellow Registers. The survey began last week and closed today. Senate Bill 2 is tentatively set for a veto override vote in the NC House tonight.
The survey asked respondents "Do you have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Senate Bill 2?" Of the 54 Registers who responded, 51 reported an unfavorable opinion. Only 3 reported a favorable opinion.
Gov. Pat McCrory vetoed Senate Bill 2 in May on the grounds that it would exempt public officials from upholding their oaths of office. The North Carolina Association of Registers of Deeds (NCARD) has not taken a position on SB 2.
House leaders opted not to take up the override vote Monday evening, instead placing the issue on Tuesday's calendar for a possible vote. The Senate overrode McCrory's veto of SB2 on June 1st.

Connecting a Bluepoint Micrscan III to PC and running Shopstream
I recently purchased a Blue-Point Microscan III (EESC720) scanner and connected to my vehicle, downloaded some DTCs and other information.
Went to connect it to my Windows 10 PC and immediately received an USB device not recognized error which occurs every-time it's plugged in to the PC's usb port.
After installing ShopStream Connect and connecting the Microscan III I still recieve a USB device not recognized error message. When I choose to dowload software updates there is a message that's nothing found.
From the Microscan III while plugged into the USB I've tried to configured the scanner for USB connection mode, from the three icons displayed. Choosing the middle icon I see a message "Do Not Power Down"
The left Icon is "Mass Storage Mode"
The right icon is "Settings" with sub menus
the settings submenus the first ones display is too fast, not quite certain what if for, the second one pressed shows a message "Do Not Power Down" and the third one calibrates the touch screen.
I haven't found any menus for connecting to a PC USB.
Under Shopstream connect I only see a drive C: which is my PC's hard driver there are no other drives I'm able to find with Microscan data.
I've been reading through the Shopstream Users manual however what's in the manual is similar but doesn't quite coincide what I'm seeing from the Microscan III menus when connected to the PC via USB.
My PC running Windows 10 has USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports which I believe all or some may combination USB 2.0/3.0 ports.
I'm wondering why I keep receiving an error message USB device not recognized. If a PC usb configuration of the Microscan III is required how do I go about configuring it to connect?

The school year is over already? For the children it is all about fun and excitement and moving on to the next grade. Yet for working moms, it is about what to do with the kiddos for the next few months. Most employers do not offer a summer vacation and even if they did, most working moms could not afford to take that vacation anyhow. Just the same many can not afford a summer camp or to send the kids off for their own vacations. Some day cares become a little more expensive in the summer and some do not offer activities that will keep their minds growing during this downtime from school. If you just wanted a babysitter to sit with them and make sure they do not get into any trouble, you could hire the neighborhood teenager to come over everyday or just send them to grandmas. How about a few activities that are low cost or even free?
Try visiting your local library. Not only will your children be able to keep those learning juices flowing and tap into their creative side but you will save hundreds. It's usually free to get a library card and you can get one for each person in the entire family. The younger kids will enjoy having the responsibility of having their own. Just as well, during the summer many libraries offer more story times, where the younger children will enjoy being read to and reading competitions for the older kids, where if they read a certain amount of books or hours, they will win free books.
The library is not only good for enjoying a good book but your children could sign up for some volunteer hours. Restocking books, cleaning, filing, the opportunities are endless. For younger children it would be a great experience and the older children could get some volunteer hours logged and go towards community service for high school or college. The library is not the only place to volunteer. Research local charities and organizations such as the YMCA, food bank, homeless shelter, nursing homes, retirement communities, and animal shelters. The children would have a great time as well as learn a sense of selflessness and morals.
When the kids are at home in the evenings, weekends, or your days off, have them engage in helping you in the garden. The smaller kids could plant and water the flowers, while the older children could pull weeds, rake, or mow the lawn. Not only would it be less stress on you but it is also fun. As well imagine what treasures you could find in your own garden. Have your children look up what types of rocks or leaves they discover while in the yard. Teach them about which flowers, fruits, and vegetables are in season and take them to the local farmers market to help pick them out.
Many local movie theaters host summer fun activities for children as well. The tickets are discounted and they can usually see multiple movies in one sitting. Many theaters offer specials for the entire summer if purchased in advance. Just as well bowling alleys offer the same sort of promotions for the summer. Group bowling activities are fun for all ages.
Whatever activities you choose to partake in for the summer, you do not have to break the bank. Call the organizations ahead and ask for their summer promotions. Many are not advertised but they have particular schedules that will usually fit your summer lifestyle.

The Audubon Society has long been known for its older generation of bird watchers – you probably are familiar with the organization because of your grandparents' involvement. But today, The Audubon Society is after the elusive 'young birder', someone who breaks the traditional 'senior' mold. The ideal candidate? Twenty- and thirty-somethings with a penchant toward nature. And believe it or not, they're out there and they're getting connected.
And just how do they intend to capture this new demographic? How else? Well, social media, of course. Technology is the future of the organization. They've already tested out their new strategies with their California chapter by inviting members and non-members alike to attend Audubon-sponsored events. For just one event, they had over 300 responses. "…[N]ew birders and their technology are welcome. Organizations need to keep appealing to new generations to stay relevant," says Garry George of California Audubon.1 Young birders also bring new opportunities to an organization that has always catered to an older generation. For instance, birders can download apps to their mobile devices which allow them to identify bird species as well as examples of bird calls.
Now it's easier than ever to keep track of Audubon events, information and updates by following their Twitter feed: @audubonsociety. If you want more, you can also connect with other enthusiasts on the National Audubon Society's facebook page. Be part of the conversation or sit back and be informed.
Their ultimate goal is to connect people with similar interests to the beautiful world around them. "This isn't your grandmother's Audubon anymore," says Audubon President, David Yarnold.1

There are several things that Wingate consumers need to consider when shopping for home phone services. For example, the kind of phone calls you make on a regular basis will considerably affect which type of phone plan will work best for you.

Local phone service could mean several different things based on your home phone service provider and the location you live in. Wingate will always be considered a part of the local calling area, but it could also contain:
One essential perk of having a home phone is being able to call 911 in case of an unexpected emergency.
Long distance phone service is a great alternative for people that have friends living outside of Wingate or those that employ their home phone for business calls outside of their local area.

Crap for older models, right? Wrong: For about $ 13 you can add just about any iPhone with wireless charging ($ 1,000 on Amazon) . And you know what? It works out!
Disclaimer: CNET may receive a revenue share from the sale of the products featured on this page.
How is that possible?
Before Apple added the technology to iPhones (starting with the iPhone 8 ($ 599 at Walmart) and X), users had to rely on bulky, expensive and uncomfortable things to pack backpacks from third-party companies.
Today, however, you can add wireless charging in the form of a sheer upholstery clinging to the back of your phone. Full-time access to the Lightning port is required, but not at the expense of your own case. And it is much easier to remove if necessary. Here is the result of my $ 13 experiment.
Is it really only $ 13?
When you discover Amazon on Qi Charging Receiver iPhone, you'll find several seemingly identical products from brands like Nillkin, SainSonic, and YKing. (Yes, I've never heard of them either.)
Most of them cost between $ 13 and $ 14, though some are available for $ 10. You can find them in the UK for £ 6 £ 11 and in Australia for AU $ 10 to AU $ 16.
I recommend this Qi receiver from Nillkin, if only because I tried both the iPhone and iPhone Android. Versions and found that they worked well. The latter has been connected to a replacement phone for about a year and so far so far.
See it on Amazon
You can use these receivers with just about any Qi charging cushion or stand, though I definitely recommend using one with at least two coils, just to make sure you do not accidentally use the " Sweet "miss spot" when you lay your phone down. (More spools mean more wireless cargo space.)
How fast is the charge?
I absolutely expected inductive charging to last longer than cable charging. No wires should be just a drop of juice, right?
Incorrect. When I ran these tests for the first time (in September 2017), I played videos on an iPhone 5S ($ 89 at Walmart) until the battery ran out, and then with an Invitian charger and one Seneo charger charged. Total time to reach 100 percent: just under 2 hours. That's almost as long as a Lightning cable.
Your mileage can and can vary – depending on whether you use a case and how thick this case is.
My first test was without a case. Then I put it back on the phone (and on the receiver) and was glad to see it fit perfectly. The receiver itself is barely thicker than a sheet of paper and the band that connects the Lightning connector is slim and flexible.
The charge also seemed to work well, though I have to admit that I did not make it to see if the case slowed down the process.
I strongly recommend using a case, not only to protect against crashes, but also because only a small strip of tape holds the receiver to the back of the phone. There is nothing that keeps the edges down or the ribbon cable protected. I feel like a lot of slipping in and out of bags or purses will take a toll.
If you're using a case, you do not even have to use the glue: the receiver just stays pressed on the back of the phone where it needs to be. However, this makes it more difficult to remove the plug if necessary. There is simply no easy way to pack it.
What is the disadvantage?
If you review the user ratings for some of these Qi receivers, you may find that some people have compatibility issues with the charging pads built into some vehicles.
Is this due to incompatible wireless charging standards? Could be. All of these iPhone receivers seem to support Qi technology. I am not sure if all cars are doing well.
Another topic: These are obviously pretty cheap, so the reliability may not be great.
Also, remember that you can not use certain phone grabber products, such as PopSocket or Spigen Style Ring, regardless of whether or not you use a suitcase: they prevent your phone from lying flat on the charging pad. what is necessary. (However, I did not have any issues with the Phone Strap, which remains one of my favorite grapples – partly because it's Qi-friendly!)
It's also worth noting that none of these recipients seem to be certified by Apple's "Made for iPhone." Program. This certification is not free, so bargain manufacturers often skip it. But that's another reason these accessories tend to work "behind the bar in the local bodega" rather than what you'll find in the Best Buy range.
Let me conclude by mentioning that testing is exactly why the phrase "your mileage can vary" was invented. Depending on the receiver you have purchased, the charging bag used, etc., different results can be achieved. This is still a relatively new technology, and there are several variables.
That said, there's an additional benefit to using an external receiver like this: It keeps your Lightning port free of dust and debris. I've recently learned from an Apple Store employee that such a gunk can interfere with successful wired charging – far more than most users know.
If you've already tested one of these third-party wireless charging solutions, click the comments and share your experience!

You will learn about the importance of oceans.
Over 1,200 Lessons: Get a Free Trial | Enroll Today
After completing this tutorial, you will be able to complete the following:
When we observe Earth from outer space, it looks very blue. This is because about three-quarters of its surface is covered by water. The vast majority of the water found on Earth is located in its oceans. There are four major oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic oceans.
These massive bodies of water play a critical role in the lives of many different organisms. A wide variety of plant and animal species call the oceans home. These varied organisms live throughout the oceans, but the largest concentrations of marine life are found in places such as reefs.
Among the many organisms that live in the oceans, perhaps the most important is algae. In addition to its crucial place in the oceanic food web, algae are also responsible for producing the majority of Earth's oxygen through photosynthesis.
For humans, the oceans are a source of many items we depend upon. We harvest things such as food, raw materials (some of which are used for medicine), salt, and much more from the oceans. Although we might tend to think of creatures like fish, crab, and lobsters as food items that humans get from the ocean, many of the food products we eat contain compounds that have been extracted from ocean creatures. Carrageenans and alginates from seaweeds are commonly found in cakes, puddings, chocolate milk and even ice cream. Examples of medicines that have been developed from marine sources include the antiviral drug acyclovir and the anti-cancer drugs cytarabine and vidarabine, which originate from sponges.
The oceans also have a significant impact on weather and weather patterns around the world. Much of the precipitation that we experience on land, such as rain or snow, is the result of the evaporation of ocean water. More importantly, certain aspects of regional climate can be affected by ocean currents. For example, although England and Canada are both located along the same longitudinal line, they often exhibit significantly different climates because of currents in the Atlantic Ocean. While the Gulf Stream usually makes England's climate mild and rainy, the Labrador Current makes Canada colder.

A rather simple figure. I wanted to see what I could do with him in a relatively short time, so I gave myself 2 episodes of Stargate SG-1 to get him done. The color palette was fairly limited, and mostly browns and greys.
I've also started working on the mini for next week, Barnabus the Pirate, doing some more work on the KotDT minis, mostly painting eyes, and fixing yet more mold lines. After spending so much time working with Bones minis, I'd forgotten how much prep can sometimes need to be done to metal minis!And I also decided that Duke Gerard's armor with the blue wash wasn't working, so I rewashed him with purple to better fit my theme.
I'm really going to have to practice with the light box... but still better than without it!

A big thanks goes to Karen Topping and her students. The girls were able to campout at Blomquist Friday night to get initiated to camping with their horses. The next day, they all competed on the course with their trusty mounts and a good time was had by all! Jim Blomquist enjoyed announcing for both the kids competition and our SMHA competition that immediately followed. Thank you Jim!
October brings with it shorter days, cooler weather and the annual Grand National Rodeo! Check online and get your tickets for this exciting event which will be held October 12-13 and 19-20 this year.

After failing to reach the Elite round, now the next generations of U19 and U17 national teams will have a try after learning their opponents for the next qualifiers.
photo by UEFA: moment of the U19 draw
Both national teams entered the draw from Pot 3 of the four pots.
The Macedonian U19 national team was drawn into Group 11 alongside England, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Luxembourg. That is the first rounf of qualifiers for the 2020 U19 EURO in Northern Ireland. We were in the same group with Luxembourg in the last qualifiers in which the young Lynx failed to reach the Elite round despite beating Luxembourg 2:0.
Macedonia will be host of the qualifying tournament that will be played from 13-19 November 2019. The top two in each of the 13 groups, along with the third-placed team with the best record against the leading pair, will follow top seeds Portugal into the Elite round in spring 2020.
The younger national team also failed to reached the Elite round of the current qualifiers. For the next, the ones for the 2020 U17 EURO in Estonia, Macedonia will have to fight against Belgium, Poland and Liechtenstein in the Group 1.
The qualifying tournament will be played in Poland from 9-15 October 2019. The top two in every group, along with the four third-placed sides with the best records against the leading pair, will follow top seeds Spain and England into the elite round in March 2020.

Bayli Lane didn't realize how much she loved creating a world from nothing until college. She went to Marian University where she majored in Communications but in her spare time wrote and read. Her love for reading is what really brought out her desire to create her own novel. After starting loads of stories and not finishing them, she finally decided it was time to put her passion to work. Bayli lives with her husband, Tim, in Indiana where she is probably sitting with a large cup of coffee and her computer working on her next book.
For some people falling in love was a happy, glowing experience. For Briar Kelly and Arrow Donovan it was more like getting hit by a freight train.
Caring for one another was never an easy feat. They constantly fought to hold their feelings inside, not wanting to jeopardize their friendship. Then, Arrow left for the Marines, and everything changed. Briar was shattered. Arrow was hurt.
While Briar told herself she'd never let another man affect her in such a way, Arrow still remained in the forefront of her mind. For Arrow, his memories of Briar kept him alive in both of his near death experiences. When Arrow's demons threatened to drag him under, Briar was there, pulling him from the darkness.
"What ifs" keep piling up while resentment and redemption battles continue; will Briar and Arrow be able to find their happily ever after, or will this be one war that Arrow can't win?
What If (What If #1)
by Bayli Lane
Published April 11th 2014 by Createspace (first published March 1st 2014)
My Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
If you like watching Latin and Asian telenovelas, then What If is the book for you. Don't get me wrong, Bayli Lane did a wonderful job with writing this book but it's one of those whose plot would have been solved in a minute if either hero or heroine had asked just one simple question. "Can I kiss you?" would have been on top of my list.
This is a prime example of what can go wrong when there are misunderstandings or miscommunications in a relationship, no matter what type of relationship it is. Teens meet for the first time and while they can talk about anything, boy assumes something about girl and romance goes pffft. Then they are in the friendzone and friendship goes pffft. They try to go on with their lives but are still heavily emotionally invested in each other so it's not a clean break.
Arrow is alternately a man I admire and love to hate. He assumes too much (to Briar's detriment) and doesn't do enough to show Briar that he cares for her more than she thinks. And how is she supposed to know that when he's making out with another girl as soon as he's done with the last one? It takes him almost dying to figure out he should be fighting for a relationship his heart wants more than anything. But you can't stake a claim on what's not yours anymore!
Briar, to her credit, is the best friend any guy could have. While she wants more from her best friend Arrow, there is never a perfect situation to let him know. She suffers through two serious relationships but is always there for him when he's in pain. She doesn't want to assume anything more though, since Arrow never showed her any deeper feelings, and kept their relationship strictly platonic until she decided she couldn't take it anymore - and left.
The angst in this novel is so palpable that it's real. While I normally don't go for books with this level of emotional fear, I had to finish this story. It's not because I had to review it; no, it's because I became invested in the characters and needed to know how they ended up. It's written so beautifully Briar and Arrow became real. While most of the time I wanted to smack them upside their heads, I also rooted for them to get over all the trauma and finally get together. Were they determined enough or not?
One character I want to know more about is Killian, Briar's ex. It's not usual for me to root for an ex, but this is one beautiful man who, in an alternate universe, would have been more perfect for her than Arrow. But I can't argue with the author's choice so I simply have to wait for book 2 to find out what happens to him.
What If could seriously be made into a soap, and in my opinion, Bayli Lane would make a great scriptwriter. She's managed to change my outlook on books with this topic which means, to me, she is one terrific writer!

Proposition 8
People who know me pretty well know I'm not really political. I have a personal moral code, I like philosophy, and I was fascinated by Empire, but I'm not really political. (In some ways when it comes to politics, and a few other things, I get this sort of disinterested, "ha ha, let's watch the foolish humans" attitude, a la xkcd #164. Other times it just makes me sad.)
But this fall, there's a rather infamous proposition on the ballet to prevent homosexual marriage. And while I'm not gay, several of my friends are. (And as I've said to several of my friends, would it matter if I was? Would anyone stop being my friend if I was gay? I've come very close to doing something like that before (not regarding homosexuality) but fortunately chose not to take that path.) I can say right now that in the first election in which I can vote, I'm voting NO on Proposition 8.
I discussed this with my parents in the car a few weeks ago after I found one of my friends prominently proclaiming their support in favor of Proposition 8. I was a little surprised and a little disappointed. My mom in particular, though, reminded me that if marriage is a sacrament in your belief system, having homosexual marriage is basically anathema. The main problem is that there are two aspects of marriage: the "marital status" in the view of the state, which treats married couples different from those who are simply living together, and the "sacrament" (that word again) which in your belief system might be moving into a new phase of life, taking on a new role in the community, etc.—the same as a baptism or a bar/bat mitzvah.
At which point my dad, who has been supporting my mom up to this point, has another point to bring up. There's a third aspect to marriage, one that you can still have even if you're not religious. That's the celebratory aspect, that you're married in the eyes of your friends and family. For a lot of people, that's incredibly important as well. And you can tell it's distinct from the other two because you can have a marriage without it.
The thing is, all three parts are independent, or at least could be without any real trouble. But the word marriage is overloaded. And so I started thinking that really, it would be fine if the state called this union between two people something else. It's not like people would still use the word "marry" casually, although it might eventually (re)acquire a religious connotation.
We got home and I looked up the text of Proposition 8:
Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid and recognized in California.
And right there my sympathy or whatever-you-call-it ended. This phrasing would make it nearly impossible for homosexual couples to get the same rights as heterosexual couples, and yes, there are still differences between what the state calls "marriage" and what it calls "domestic partnership".
And really, as a concession to those who view this as a perversion of a sacred union, I would be perfectly happy to have the state do away with "marriage" altogether, and have the legal status be something like "domestic partnership". As long as it's for homosexual and heterosexual couples. Legal language is all like that anyway; let "marriage" become a casual term for such a partnership and, technically, a word for a specific religious act. No, this isn't quite the same goal, but it's the rights that I support, not the use or disuse of a word. (Personally I support the word too, but practically it's not really the issue, or shouldn't be.) This would be proper separation of Church and State; you can get married in the eye(s?) of God, get a certificate from the state, and have a reception too. Three distinct rituals. Unfortunately, the current terms and the system in general have been around too long for this to happen.
Still, it's biased and unfair to offer rights to some people and not to others because of their sexuality. That might have been OK even through the last century, but not anymore. This is my first election, and I consider this NO the most important vote I'll be making. Yes, I consider this more important than the presidential election. Partially because I feel that if America votes another Republican into office we're screwed anyway (and sorry to my Republican friends, but the party isn't doing so well right now), but mostly because this hits a lot closer to home, and is something that will either cement societal human rights in place or crush them for an indeterminably long time. This is a freaking amendment to California's constitution. It's important.
It's time people realized that homosexuality isn't going to go away, and that being homosexual doesn't keep you from being human first. That's why I'm voting NO, and I hope that even if you're voting for the proposition, you at least understand what you're doing to your neighbors who are just as good people as you are.
P.S. Given the reaction that I had to the short and abrupt text of the proposition, you'd think the "Vote No" site would have it more prominently displayed. I could not find it on their site and had to turn to the "Protect Marriage" (*grimace*) site to actually find the text.

Regulatory updates on Imfinzi and Tagrisso in Europe and USA
Shares in AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) edged higher in early dealing today, on the news that US regulators have granted its Tagrisso (osimertinib) Breakthrough Therapy designation and its European peer has accepted the marketing application for its Imfinzi (durvalumab).
The Anglo-Swedish pharma major, along with its biologics R&D arm MedImmune, revealed that the European Medicines Agency has accepted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for Imfinzi for the treatment of patients with locally-advanced (Stage III), unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not progressed following platinum-based chemoradiation therapy. This is the first registrational submission for Imfinzi in the European Union.
The MAA submission acceptance is an important milestone for Imfinzi in a disease state where patients need better treatment options and outcomes. Currently, the standard of care for patients with this earlier stage of lung disease is active monitoring following concurrent chemoradiation.
The MAA submission is based on positive progress-free survival (PFS) data from the Phase III PACIFIC trial. The trial continues to evaluate overall survival (OS), its other primary endpoint. Detailed results of the PACIFIC trial, including additional safety information, were published online in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Imfinzi has already received accelerated approval in the USA for the treatment of patients with locally-advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma, who have disease progression during or following platinum-containing chemotherapy, or whose disease has progressed within 12 months of receiving platinum-containing chemotherapy before (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) surgery.
Earlier this year AstraZeneca suffered a significant setback when the initial results of the Phase III MYSTIC trial with Imfinzi were a big disappointment. The trial is continuing and, while some analysts have said they do not regard MYSTIC success as essential to AstraZeneca's turn-round strategy, unimpressive results on overall survival would be a blow. Berenberg, the investment bank, this year estimated potential annual sales for Imfinzi, should the trial deliver strong results, at $2.5 billion.
Breakthrough status for Tagrisso as first-line NSCLC therapy
AstraZeneca also today announced that the US Food and Drug Administration has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation (BTD) for Tagrisso (osimertinib) for the 1st-line treatment of patients with metastatic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The drug is currently approved in more than 50 countries, including the USA, Japan, China and Europe, as a second-line treatment for patients with advanced NSCLC. The market for NSCLC therapies is expected by some analysts to grow to around $13 billion by the year 2024.Tagrisso generated sales of $232 million in the second quarter of this year.
Sean Bohen, executive vice president, global medicines development and chief medical officer at AstraZeneca, said: "The Breakthrough Therapy Designation acknowledges not only Tagrisso'spotential as a 1st-line standard of care in advanced EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC, but also the significant need for improved clinical outcomes in this disease. The results of the FLAURA trial have the potential to redefine clinical expectations and offer new hope for patients who currently have a poor prognosis."
This is the sixth BTD that AstraZeneca has received from the FDA for an oncology medicine since 2014. BTD is designed to expedite the development and regulatory review of new medicines that are intended to treat a serious condition and that have shown encouraging early clinical results, which demonstrate substantial improvement on a clinically-significant endpoint over available medicines and when there is significant unmet medical need.

First employer in the manufacturing industry, with more than 18,000 companies and 380,000 employees, first industry in terms of turnover, the agri-food industry is a major player in French economy and a vector of competitiveness and attractiveness at national, European and global levels. It is also a sector of extraordinary diversity, whose world wide fame relies not only on major groups and well-known brands, but also on many SME / VSE that boost our territories by their innovation capacity and the quality of their products.
The French National Food Conference that took place in 2017 has put food at the heart of societal debates. This work of co-construction helped us to federate the ambitions of the different actors involved and to identify shared goals. The roadmap resulting from the French National Food Conference materialize a number of those ambitions:
- setting up a new framework to restore producers' income and investment margins for industries;
- development of sector plans to involve all stakeholders, from upstream to downstream, aiming at upgrading our food system;
- the adoption of a Major Investment Plan with a 1.7 billion euros component dedicated to improving downstream competitiveness;
- "Ambition Bio 2022", a plan to boost conversions to organic farming and organize the supply of organic products;
- a bioeconomy strategy to promote all types of biomass and support the development of a biosourced industry that is effective, innovative and sustainable,
- "Ecophyto2 +", a plan to reduce the use of crop protection products.

Navajo Squash Kachina - Signed Byl Mitchell
- Vintage item
- Free USA Shipping
A kachina (or katsina) is an immortal spirit being who controls the natural world for the Pueblo people of the American Southwest, while a kachina doll, like this one, is the miniature representation of the spirit. This figure is the Squash kachina, chief of the Pumpkin clan. Squash was an important crop for Native Americans, so the Squash kachina was an important spirit.
This kachina was carved of cottonwood and mounted on a round disc of wood edged in bark. The head is shaped like a squash, topped with a "stem" of leather strips and surrounded by a collar of white fur. (Prior to the Endangered Species Act, kachinas were decorated with bird feathers.) All the visible parts of the kachina's body are painted vivid green with darker green stripes. The figure is wearing a white loincloth painted with black and red symbols, bound with a black felt sash. It's hand signed in pencil on the bottom of the wood base "Squash Byl Mitchell Navajo."
This kachina stands 6 1/2 inches tall; the mostly round base is 2 1/2 inches in diameter. It's in excellent condition, with no damage or stains and no visible wear. It's the last of a small collection we purchased and perfect for collectors and those who love Native American/Southwest décor.

Comparing Noise Filter settings on the E-PL1
I was shooting the E-PL1 yesterday in a cathedral and thought I'd play with the noise filter settings just to see the difference between the Standard setting vs. what the difference would be if the noise filter was turned completely off at a higher ISO setting.
I did this because, in their review, DPReview noted even with the noise filter off most all color noise was still being filtered out, leaving just luminence noise, which didn't sound all that objectionable to me, especially since the E-PL1s' luminence noise is a much tighter grain pattern compared to my DSLR's. I have already done this with many shots outdoors ahooting RAW and playing with the setting in Viewer and, to be honest, you could shoot the E-PL1 with the noise filter off outdoors in the daytime and see very little image noise at all until you get up to around ISO 640, and even then it doesn't look bad at all.
These are at ISO 1600 and are hyperlinks, so you can click on them to open up to my website to view the full-sized image. To be honest, looking at them at 66-100% is the only way to see a whole heck of a lot of difference, which is amazing to me and this was using Viewer upposed to shooting JPEG and saving at the highest SHQ setting, which Viewer cannot do. Shot RAW then processed with the noise filter off and then again, but with the noise filter set to Standard.
Standard setting..
Then with the noise filter set to off...
A couple of things I have noticed. If you really want to maximize image detail, I say just leave the noise filter setting to off. I see absolutely nothing objectionable with the luminence noise in images at this setting, and this is an extreme example of luminence noise with the E-PL1.
On the other hand, I also see very, very little image detail being blurred away using the standard noise filter setting, and the exposure system did quite the excellent job, so if you are one who is particularly allergic to noise of any kind, just set the E-PL1's noise filter to standard and you'll be happy. I just left the camera set to multi-segment metering and scanned the image using the VF-2 finder, locking exposure when it looked "right" in the finder to me. These were shot using the 70-300 Zuiko due to the distances involved capturing these images. Also note the file size difference between the standard and "off" noise filter setting to see how much of the image file size is due to unremoved noise. Over a day capturing 200-300 images, this could make a big difference in the number of files one could capture on any one card.
A processing difference I have noted between Viewer and Photoshop...if I process a RAW file in ACR, it shows up in Smumug with the "35mm equivalent" setting showing in the EXIF data as well. If I process a file using Viewer, the actual focal length is all that shows up. Interesting...I'd prefer it the way Photoshop-processed files show up all the time. Shooting JPEG, you also just get the actual focal length used.
Here's the "other" rose window I also shot the same way.
Noise filter standard..
Noise Filter set to Off..

Outdoors in daylight at the base (for auto ISO) ISO 200 the results are similar. I loaded these to my website as out-of-camera SHQ JPEG's shot just a few seconds apart...just long enough to changed the noise filter setting and they are untouched, so please excuse my often horizontally-challenged shooting habits. Why the heck I have such a hard time keeping things level is beyond me, but the one thing I do more than anything else in post-processing is to level shots just like these.
The main differences I can see looking at these at 100% is in the shaded area underneath the roof where the chain that holds up the big main light is hanging, and there's not much difference. The detail in the chain is very easily seen in both images when zoomed to 100%. The noise filter of the E-PL1 just do not mess with fine detail that much at Low or Standard settings.. The file sizes are very, very close at 8.24MB for the standard noise-filtered shot vs. 8.5MB for the filter-off shot, so like DPReview said, there's definitely color noise filtering going on even with the noise filter set to off...maybe even a little luminence noise too.
Here's the noise filter "off" image.
and the noise filter set to "Standard" image..

These are amazing little cameras. Not sure what I should expect, but just for kicks I'm going to take the E-PL1 and 70-300 to the Rangers game this Wednesday night vs the Twins to see what's possible. Thursday morning I have a date at the dentist to have all four wisdom teeth removed, so if I don't manage to get a few images up before going to bed Wednesday night, it might be the weekend before I get around to posting any of those! Everyone else I know had this done at 14-17 years old, and here I am waiting until 48. Can't wait....

Great info & examples Greg, Thanks for taking time to post. There are so many ideas I have to try with the epl-1 just got to get around to doing them.

After some brief tests, I settled down to "Low". Still very good detail. To me "Std" kills too much details and "Off" shows too much noise in very low light. I don't want to change settings all the time, so "Low" is a good compromise.

If you shoot above 1250iso, you will want NR set to standard at low light. It can get noise up there with it set to low.

The sport shots is where you will see the limits of the epl-1. Especially if you are trying to take a burst of the action. C-AF Tr does ok, but this is not the strong point of the pen's.
