Top Ten Finish for Loïc Vliegen at Volta Limburg Classic1. April 2017, Eijsden (NED) — Road Team
Loïc Vliegen sprinted to ninth place after a tough 200km of racing at Volta Limburg Classic, in what is seen as a warm up for Amstel Gold Race.
The race was split into two halves with an 18-rider group, featuring Joey Rosskopf, going clear in the first hour of racing.
The peloton kept the large group close and the breakaway's advantage never exceeded more than one minute. As the peloton approached 90km to go, they had reeled the group back in, making way for new attacks to play out.
Within the next 20km, a group of around 20 riders went clear, including Rosskopf and Vliegen, and managed to quickly gain an advantage of 39 seconds on the bunch.
Further splits in the field saw Vliegen form part of an 11-rider group at the front of the race, from which eventual winner Marco Canola (Nippo-Vini Fantini) broke clear alongside Xandro Meurisse (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) and Nick Van Der Lijke (Rompoot-Nederlandse Loterij).
The trio forged on ahead and despite hard work from Rosskopf and Vliegen, lack of cooperation in the chase group meant it wasn't possible to bring them back.
Vliegen contested the sprint for top ten places and ended the day in ninth place.
Quotes from the Sports Director's Car with Jackson Stewart:
"Today didn't really go to plan for us. As one of two UCI WorldTour teams in the race, and having won the last two editions, it was clear that we were a marked team and a lot of the teams were working hard to shut any of our moves down. In the end, we weren't strong enough to beat them. We also had some bad luck as Miles Scotson and Kilian Frankiny were both involved in crashes and could never really get back in the race. Some of our other riders just didn't have good legs today."
"Joey Rosskopf was incredible. He was in every move all day he made the final move. Loïc Vliegen was really smart and he made the final move too but both of them missed the winning move when the trio went ahead. Joey and Loïc were pulling really hard but there was no real cooperation in the chase group and they couldn't bring them back. It just wasn't our day today."

Notre Dame will look to make an impression on the NCAA Pollsters. Will Notre Dame run up the score is the question for the betting public? See what our college football pick is.
Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday, November 14th at 3:30 p.m. EST at Notre Dame Stadium in Notre Dame Indiana. According to 5Dimes, the Fighting Irish are a 27 point betting favorite and the total for the game is 52 on the college football odds.
Looks Are Deceiving?
My first impression is that record aside, we're not going to see much of a fight put up by Wake Forest as they possess one of the weaker offenses in the country, scoring just 18.7 points per game on 339 yards of total offenese and that won't beat a team the caliber of Notre Dame. On the other hand, the Demon Deacons defense isn't awful and in order to look impressive, Notre Dame won't have a cakewalk and will have to play one of their better games of the season.
Playoff Aspirations for ND
That said, this shouldn't be a problem as Notre Dame possess a well balanced offense and can beat a team in many ways. The Fighting Irish are averaging 37.1 points per game on nearly 500 yards of offense per game.
Notre Dame was also lucky to have their one loss early in the season as they loss to the Clemson Tigers, 24-22. Since then, they've taken care of teams such as Navy, Temple, USC, and Pittsbugh. Quality wins aren't an issue with Notre Dame. They just need to keep winning and look dominant in doing so.
5 TD's For Kizer
Notre Dame sophomore quarterback, DesSone Kizer, picked the right time to get hot as the Fighting Irish are coming off of a 42-30 victory over the Pittsburgh Panthers on the road. In this game, Kizer exploded for 5 touchdowns to go along with his efficient passing and 262 yards. The 5 TD's were nearly 1/3 of his seasonal output and although I don't expect to see this on a regular basis, it certainly is a confidence booster for the big man.
Kizer was able to find his favorite target, wide receiver, Will Fuller, in Pitt's endzone on 3 separate occasions to go along with 152 yards. Notre Dame basically shoved their offense down the throats of the vulnerable Pittsburgh offense as Irish freshman Josh Adams also had a breakout game with 147 yards rushing. We'll have to see how this carries over to a much inferior opponent in Wake Forest as the Demon Deacons defense can hold their own.
Nothing Special
Their record indicates this and I've already stated that Wake Forest isn't a team that's going to excite anyone, but they manage to "hang around" in most of their losses and this is something to consider when they're a 27 point underdog.
I mean, when they can play a Boston College team to a 3-0 victory, that's basically as non-eventful a win as possible in a game and that's how I look at this team.
Wake Forest's running game leaves a lot to be desired. Not one rusher on this team averages 4 yards or more per carry despite leading rusher, Kendall Hinton's 6 rushing TD's this season. The quarterback position hasn't been much better than the rushing game as there's been an abundance of ineffiency and turnovers created by quarterbacks John Wolford and Kendall Hinton.
In their last game, the two combined for 9 for 30 passing for 226 yards with 2 TD's and 4 INT's in a 20-19 loss to Louisivlle and they still almost won the game. That defines this team in a nutshell.
On paper, Notre Dame will destroy the Demon Deacons, but the game is played on the field and 27 points are a lot. Take Wake Forest to cover as Notre Dame wins the game on your college football picks.
College Football Pick: Wake Forest +27 at 5Dimes

Photo Diary: Art of Another Kind — International Abstraction at the Guggenheim.
Alberto Burri's burlap collage from 1953, titled Composition. Digging the splash of gold in the upper right hand corner.
A mobile by Alexander Calder floats in the museum's atrium.
Ibram Lassaw's Corax, from 1953 — looking like it'd just burst out of someone's gut.
This one is definitely worth checking out: the gathering of abstract art from the 1950s that's currently on view at the Guggenheim. The museum has dug into its collection to showcase some of the big (mostly male) names of the era (Pollock, de Kooning, Kline, etc.) But it also contains some awesome/weird surprises — including a massive canvas by Newark-born Carmen Cicero, some excellent canvas collages by Conrad Marca-Relli, and some highly intriguing burlap and metal pieces by Alberto Burri. (Somebody please do a retrospective!)
Art of Another Kind: International Abstraction is on view through September 12 at the Guggenheim Museum.

Cook is, as usual, confortable with both the medical technology, and medical social controversy. And, as he very often does, looks at the pressures of greed and money degrading medical care.
I just started a medical course and so I loved reading the phrases and terminology in "real life" use (as real as a fiction novel can get). Not one of his absolute best, but top 10. Not too many unpronouncable medical terms.

Year 10 Exams
Dear Parent / Carers,
Year 10 Exams
Year 10 students are already half of their way through their GCSEs. This time next year they will be just a week away from the start or their formal GCSE exams. The Year 10 exams are rapidly approaching and we would like to offer some additional support to students and parents at this challenging time. Each year we see that students who study hard and achieve well in their Year 10 exams go on to repeat this success in their real GCSEs. We also know that every year there are students who want to know how best to revise and parents who would like to know how they can support their children in the lead up to exams.
For this reason we will be hosting a Raising Achievement Evening on Tuesday 23rd May for all Year 10 students and their parents/carers. During the evening there will be a range of short sessions full of information on how students should be preparing for their exams. Sessions arranged are:
- Organising yourself
- Getting the most out of your memory
- Tried and tested revision strategies
- Preparing for GCSE English
- Preparing for GCSE Maths
- Preparing for GCSE Science
- Mindfulness and staying healthy during exams
We will also have students available throughout the evening who completed their GCSEs this year to talk, answer questions, offer advice and give practical tips.
The evening will begin at 6pm in the canteen. All sessions will be 15 minutes with the evening ending at 8pm. All of our Senior Leadership Team will be present to answer any questions you might have.
Please complete the online form here to confirm your attendance - https://goo.gl/forms/msDv2P5acpowaG763
We look forward to seeing you on the evening.
Yours sincerely

CR Omaha Ministry Teams
Grab a quick preview of your #CROmaha opportunities to serve.
Team Bletz
Board Oversight: Jonathon Smith
This year we are combining Team BLESS and Team BLITZ into one encompassing door-to-door ministry. Sometimes the easiest way to love others is to pray for them. Team BLETZ will purposefully encounter others in order to pray for their needs. At times when door-to-door is at an inconvenient for the neighborhood, TEAM BLETZ will hit the pavement hard and canvas the neighborhood with door hangers with information about New City Church. If you are brave enough to talk to strangers, if you need a gut check to overcome your fears, or if you are wanting to double your steps for the day, give this ministry track a try.
Team Totally Free Car Wash
Board Oversight: John Yoho and Ryan Tarkington
We want all the cars of Omaha to sparkle! This will require you to do some hard work in the hot sun, with a bunch of other teens. This ministry opens up many opportunities to share Christ with totally unchurched people. Just as the car was is free, it is easy to share with the community how salvation is a free gift from God.
Team Everyday Acts
Board Oversight: Tony Harp
This is four days of traveling around the city looking for opportunities to perform random acts of kindness. These acts range from handing out bottled water to helping carry out groceries at local stores. This ministry opens up many doors to share the love of Christ to lose in Omaha that are in desperate need of seeing the Gospel in action. The purpose is to perform simple acts that are done out of the love for Christ.
Team X-Camps Active
Board Oversight: Jim Lane
X-Camps Active is a sports day camp designed to teach young people basic fundamentals of sports, such as soccer or basketball. It also gives a great opportunity to mentor a child one on one. If you are willing to sweat, this is your team.
Team X-Camps Creative
Board Oversight: Joe Copeland
X-Camps Creative is an art day camp designed to encourage the artistic and engineering capabilities of child through traditional Art Camp and Lego Camp design. If you like to draw, paint, glue, or build with Legos, this is the place for you.
Team X-Camps JR
Board Oversight: Kyle Alonso
X-Camps JR is similar to a day at Vacation Bible School, except it's aimed for the younger kids. This club is fast-paced with many different stations: active, creative, and educational. If you have a way with younger children, we need you at X-Camps JR.

Shower & Bathtub Grab Bars
The slippery surfaces of a bathtub or shower stall can be tricky to navigate without grab bars. A slip and fall can cause serious injury. There are solutions such as bath and shower chairs, but for someone who is able to manage on their own without the need for assistance from a caregiver or excessive equipment, a grab bar can be the perfect solution.
Grab bars can be useful in many different situations but are primarily used in the bathroom, where getting up from a seated position can be difficult and dangerous due to smooth or wet surfaces. They also add extra security against slipping and falling. Bathroom grab bars can be found in several styles that can either be permanently installed or be movable to accompany a traveling patient.
Made of nonporous materials such as plastic or stainless steel and chrome, shower grab bars are easy to maintain and clean. Temporary models will typically be affixed with suction cups that are sufficiently strong enough to adhere to most smooth surfaces. There are grab bar models that attach to the edge of the bathtub for aiding in raising from a seated position, as well as shaped versions that can go around the proximity of the bathtub. There are also bathroom grab bars that blend in with the fixtures of your bathtub, such as grab bars with integrated soap dishes and corner shelves.
Browse the collection of bathroom grab bars and find one that suits your bathroom décor. Weigh your options and your mobility needs. Choose one that many be easy to install and/or easy to move if the need arises.

I get a lot of comments from friends asking me how do I do it? I have no idea how I do it!! Most of the time I'm feeling well so I just do what I would normally do if Bitch wasn't in my life. What really helps me is my friends and family. They have been my support. I've never been one to call a friend up and say "Woe is me" but having my family and friend to keep me occupied makes a difference. I'm not looking for any gifts...I'm looking for time. I'm some one asks me about my situation (even a total stranger, I don't mind talking about it at all...ask, and I shall tell.)
I'm usually calm and collective but there was this on instance that REALLY got to me. It was the first week of Andrew's kindergarden class. I was in the school and the nurse stopped me. She said, "You look exactly like this one teacher that used to teach here. I had to do a double take!!" Then, she proceeded to say, " unfortunately, we lost her due to cancer." I said, "Oh, that's terrible." She went on to say, "yes it is because her 2 little boys are students here". As I started to walk away, another teacher came walking by and the nurse grabbed the teacher and asked, "Doesn't she look exactly like someone we know?" As I walked out I was a little irritated but also how could I be mad at someone that has no idea what my situation is. As I drove off, I felt fine but when I sat at the red light, a panic came over me. My chest stiffened and I started to hyperventilate. I could possibly be this teacher!!!! I needed something to calm me down.
Bitch has no mercy on anyone. Even an innocent infant. I mean how cruel is that? The mind games are the worst because she cheats and she doesn't keep her promises. She's a "creeper". When I was in remission I was probably the happiest I've been a long time but that Bitch had to come back and ruin everything for me and my family. When I try to do the things I want to do that Bitch always keeps me from doing it. Even when I have good days, she always manages to follow it up with a terrible day. She makes me paranoid and I don't trust her. Some times I think to my self, "Why did she pick me?" Why can't she just bully a murderer or a child molester? I just don't get it. They say cancer doesn't discriminate. To me, it seems like she does. She bullies only best of us.

What's My Poison?
Thank you, Lord! The poison worked! There were no traces of disease. I can continue to live my life. We outsmarted Bitch!! I thanked God (and still do) for sparing me. I would take nothing for granted and relish everything that comes my way. I will no longer complain about my husband. I will never complain to him that we need work done to the house (although it would be nice), his hockey stuff reeks, and it takes him an eternity to finish any task when it comes to the house. I'll try to help those in need, I will appreciate every breath I take and embrace life. I will try my best to live the life that God intended me to live and thank Him every moment I can.
I was in remission for a little over two years. I felt awesome!!! I even got myself a little part time job working at Macy's, which I absolutely loved!!!! Even though I was in remission I still had to have a PET scan every 3-4 months. I dreaded them but it was just something I had to do. I had my port in for about 2 years at that time so I was looking forward to having it removed. That would have been a huge turning point, having my port removed. I was looking forward to face to face conversations when eyes didn't wander down to my chest where my port lies. Kinda like when you're having a conversation with someone who has a ginormous zit on their chin. You try your best not to notice it but it's screaming, "Look at me...don't you just want to pop me?" I knew they were wondering, "What is that thing protruding from her chest?" I had one lady comment, "You must had a good time this weekend...you got a huge hickey on your chest!" Most cancer patients have their port removed right away but in my case my onco wanted to keep it in "just in case".
During my last follow up, my onco was very pleased with my progress. All my Pet scans came out clear so she felt we can reduce the scans from 3-4 months to 6 months. She gave me the option of having one more scan before starting the 6 month schedule...it was completely up to me. I opted to have one more scan. Normally, we get a call from the nurse to tell me that the scan came out clear. This particular call was different. It was the nurse asking me to come in. I knew IMMEDIATELY something wasn't right but I had to wait 3 days to find out what it is.
It was a devastating blow. I had traces of cancer in my spleen and liver. She described it as rice crispies which meant surgery was not an option. She recommend another type of poison but it was back to the drawing board. We went to MCV and Sloan, and again, both were in agreement with my onco with the type of chemo I were to receive. The chemo schedule was more grueling than my first. I were to have chemo 3 days in a row then I would have a 3 week break. A total of six cycles and after the 3rd cycle I would have a scan to check to see if the chemo is actually working. The results weren't as good as we hoped for. So, AGAIN she switched me to a different chemo but this time one treatment every 3 weeks. Hopefully, this poison will work. So here I am today.

KIEV (Reuters) - Two Ukrainian serviceman have been killed in fighting with pro-Russian separatists in the separatist eastern region of Luhansk, the governor of the Kiev-controlled territory said on Tuesday.
The incident took place on Monday, Hennadiy Moskal said in an online statement.
Violence has intensified in recent weeks despite a ceasefire which was brokered in the Belarussian capital of Minsk in mid-February. Government forces and separatists regularly accuse each other of violations.

Should I Use Medical Institution Admissions Consulting in Montara CA?
You are relating to clinical school however likewise wondering if it would certainly deserve it to pay extra to employ clinical school admissions consultants to help you with your application. Allow Edward Chang assist you weigh the pros and cons.
Should you utilize clinical school admissions consulting? Is it worth it? Consulting is not cheap; most firms charging about $200/hour. Many thorough plans that cover the whole admissions procedure (personal statement, key application, additional application, and also meetings) set you back more than $1000. So firstly, is admission consulting worth all that cash?
The response to that concern is complicated. Unlike university admissions, clinical school admissions is notorious for being arbitrary and uncertain. There are a lot of great applicants that when schools are selecting in between multiple worthwhile people, it becomes a lot more concerning choice than certification. However, even though the admissions process is seemingly arbitrary, there are reasons why particular candidates are accepted as well as others are not. Those applicants with knowledge concerning the admissions process will certainly inform you that most of the times, your approval possibilities are not only regarding what you have actually done however exactly how you have actually provided what you have done. Regrettably not everybody is good at doing that.
The best ways to Endure Medical School: Making It Via Academic Heck
You want to discover exactly how to survive clinical college?
If so, you are smart to get ready for one of the most extensive academic training recognized to male. Each year, someone quits, an additional fails out, but an additional is left back. This will certainly be the reality for basically all clinical institution courses. The inquiry is: how do you stop on your own from being among the casualties?
At the time of me composing this, I am a 2nd year clinical student in UMDNJ in Stratford, NJ. Although I like my college very much, it is academic heck. But if you gave me an option of any type of medical college to go to, I would still make the very same choice.
Throughout my one and also a fifty percent year in medical school, I have just one academic goal. It is not just making it through clinical college, but to do above standard. For a lot of my classes, I have achieved my objective.
And also I wish to reveal you exactly how. I do not just wish to reveal you how you could endure medical school, I intend to reveal you exactly how you as well could do above average.
Now a few of you could be assuming just because I did above standard, does not indicate you can do it as well.
- Perhaps you think I am a wizard. I am not.
- Perhaps you think I have a great memory. I do not.
- Perhaps you believe I am wise. I am no smarter than the typical candidate. One of my teachers constantly declares to have typical knowledge. If that holds true, my knowledge is less compared to standard. I strongly think that because you go to typical intelligence or higher, my the best ways to make it through medical college guide would certainly work for you.
Exactly what to Expect in Medical College?
The primary reason why students do inadequately or even fall short out is as a result of insolence. They think that clinical college will be like college. I was not a pre-med significant so perhaps this does not put on pre-med students, but I recognize that lots of my schoolmates in business class absolutely did not study at all times. The clever ones, especially, spent a minimal quantity of time doing research and also examining.
Yet when you remain in medical school, unless you have a photographic memory or had previous exposure to the materials as a registered nurse or whatnot, you will be investing a TON of time researching. There will be times when you could go out and also have fun, yet it will be sporadic as compared to the college celebration days.
The program load in university is light as compared to clinical school. Getting ready for examinations in university does not compare with getting ready for examinations in medical institution. As an example, some people could take into consideration organic chemistry to be one of the more difficult pre-medical courses. As well as I confess, I had to invest a bit more time on that particular course too. Each week, I would invest 9 hrs on organic chemistry:
- 3 hrs of class
- 3 hrs of lab
- 2 hours to create laboratory record
- 1 hour to do homework
If I took 5 training courses that requires as much work as organic chemistry (which is EXTREMELY not likely for an university pupil), I would certainly invest 45 hrs per week. That is currently greater than what most college students invest researching weekly, let alone per month.
As a clinical school pupil, anticipate to invest 60 hrs researching per week or more. That standards bent on a bit greater than 8.5 hrs a day. As well as if you go to class, which can go from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, that is already over 8 hours right there. And also many people research means past 5:00 PM. Hence, most people study over 8 hrs a day.
Do you would like to know what the sad part is? Even after 60 hours of examining, there is a lot more you could research to really feel more prepared for the tests. No matter how much you prepare, you will always really feel poor. This relates a lot more for classes which are instructed by scientists, that are general very inadequate instructors. You will be pestered with little details. Some of them are also testable. A lot of people say discovering in medical college belongs to consuming from a fire hydrant.
Unlike university admissions, clinical school admissions is infamous for being random and uncertain. Throughout my one as well as a half year in medical institution, I have only one scholastic objective. It is not simply enduring clinical college, however to do above average. I strongly believe that given that you are at typical intelligence or greater, my exactly how to endure clinical institution guide would work for you.
As a medical college student, expect to spend 60 hrs examining per week or more.

SDCC: Mignola Pilots "Hellboy and the BPRD," Cleans Up "Hell"
Hellboy fans gathered on Friday at Comic-Con International in San Diego for Mike Mignola's Spotlight panel, an informal question and answer session about the veteran creator and the many works he's been a part of. Though he claimed to have "no particular announcement of any kind," Mignola answered fans' questions about his work.
Mignola started by answering one of the most common questions he's asked. "Hellboy 3′ — no." But the writer artist did say he's currently writing the plot for a new ongoing series beginning this December at Dark Horse, "Hellboy and the B.P.R.D." Beginning in 1952, the series will follow Hellboy through his first outing with the B.P.R.D., picking up from previous miniseries. Mignola will be plotting, as well as co-scripting with frequent collaborator John Arcudi. The series will be drawn by Alex Maleev, a newcomer to the Mignola-verse. "Every trade paperback will just be titled with the year," Mignola said, admitting he has difficultly coming up with titles. The series will feature different creative teams, and Mignola confirmed that he would write or co-write all of the series.
SDCC: Mike Mignola Takes Command Over "Hellboy and the B.P.R.D."
The panel was then opened to questions from the audience, the first of which was about the development of Mignola's art style. The artist said it came about from "30 years of trial and error," though he felt it only really started click only in the last 10 or 15 years. "If you don't know my pre-'Hellboy' work, there's no reason to look at it."
About filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, Mignola said their collaboration is always interesting. "That's a whole 20-hour conversation," Mignola laughed. "It's been very fun, challenging at times." During their first meeting about "Hellboy," Mignola said he gave the director his blessing to put his own spin on the character. "I'd much rather see a successful Guillermo del Toro film than somebody trying to second guess what a Mike Mignola film should be."
The creator said his trust in his own gut drives his creative process. While plotting, Mignola often feels "not exactly sure why this seems right to me, but if I analyze it and I dissect it, it's all going to start falling apart. So I want to really trust my instincts, and then let my therapist figure out what it means some time down the road."
Though he addressed it briefly at the start of the panel, a fan pressed for more info on a third "Hellboy" film. "To try to cap off the movie question once and for all," Mignola said, "there is, to my knowledge, no interest from anyone anywhere for anything involving Hellboy or any of the Hellboy-related things." Mignola said a producer from Universal had cheerfully assured him over a lunch that the studio would never ever work with his material again.
The writer/artist then discussed the interesting challenge of integrating Hellboy into the DC Universe, which happened during the "Batman/Hellboy/Starman" crossover. Apart from the commercial opportunity presented by teaming up all three characters, Mignola said he was drawn to the project by his desire to work with legendary DC editor Archie Goodwin. After submitting his first 8 pages, Mignola grew frustrated that he had not yet heard back from Goodwin. When he called DC to complain, Mignola was informed that Goodwin had passed away. After that, "it became the hardest thing that I have ever drawn." The project also confirmed for Mignola that he did not want to work on company-owned characters.
With no plans to end the "Hellboy in Hell" series, Mignola plans to use the book to tell "odd little stories" after the 4-trade arc resolves most loose threads. "There are some big things that are going to happen," he said, "but I guess I'm kind of looking for a way for Hellboy to do his job and retire and get some time to enjoy himself." Even without Hellboy, Mignola said he would be able to continue to tell stories in the world he has created. "It's not Hell as much as it's the inside of my head."
CBR SATURDAY CONVERSATION: Mike Mignola
Though Hellboy and his world are closely held creations of Mignola, other writers and artists have contributed to the series as well. With "Hellboy and the B.P.R.D.", Mignola has given more range to Arcudi to flesh out characters and develop stories. He also said that he gave completely free range over particular characters to Cameron Stewart, Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon. "It's still my world, but this character that I had no plans for, let these guys take him wherever. Want to make him into a good guy, want to make him into a bad guy, want to make him into a tree: I don't care," Mignola said. "I respect them and love what they do; I want them to feel the freedom to take this character and run."
In expanding his Hellboy work across two different titles, Mignola has already discovered several advantages. The plot- and character-driven stories in "Hellboy and the B.P.R.D." have allowed "Hellboy in Hell" to successfully follow Mignola's instincts into strange places. "I'd like, as much as possible, to put on paper something that only I could or would do," he said. "It's very selfish, it's very self-indulgent." The simultaneous series have been planned to allow readers to enjoy different versions of the character without rebooting.
One of the final questions posed was about Mignola's concept of Heaven. He declined to answer, claiming that he was never going anyway. "That to me is so purely abstract. Once you draw the gates and angels, for me anyway, it loses its power." Hell, on the other hand, is the world Mignola has been creating in the event that he ends up there after his death. "To me, Hell is just a really shitty neighborhood, like Rome right before the collapse." He joked that Hellboy was cleaning up Hell so that by the time Mignola shows up there will be a nice neighborhood where he can live.
Stay tuned to CBR News for more on "Hellboy and the B.P.R.D." and "Hellboy in Hell."

Garmin fenix 5 Multi-Sport GPS Watch
The Ultimate in Fitness Performance & Style
About the Garmin fenix 5
Looking for the most complete fitness device available? You've come to the right place. The Garmin fenix 5 is the premium multi-sport GPS watch designed to be the most versatile, stylish performance tracking device ever created; no matter if you're trail running, swimming laps, cycling, skiing in the mountains or anything in between, the fenix 5 will be right with you every step of the way, providing the most advanced fitness metrics and tracking information available today.
With a new, slimmer design, standard wrist-based heart rate monitoring on all units and a new QuickFit interchangeable bands system - the fenix 5 has taken its revolutionary predecessor (fenix 3) to the next level. In addition to its upgrades, the fenix 5 has retained the line's best legacy features including GPS/GLONASS satellite reception (for the most accurate readings, even under thick cover), advanced fitness metrics (heart rate, VO2 max, cadence etc), smart notifications and multi-sport activity profiles. The fenix 5 is unequivocally the ultimate device to fulfill both your aesthetic and athletic desires.
Wrist-Based Heart Rate (with Flush Sensor)
Keeping track of your step count and sleeping habits is important, but most fitness experts will agree that in order to truly get a sense of how your training is going, you need to be in tune with how your heart is doing. The fenix 5 now comes with wrist-based heart rate monitoring standard, a nice feature that doesn't force you to sport a chest strap, too. With heart rate monitoring, you can more accurately track your calories burned information and make sure you're pushing your ticker each time you train.
The new heart rate sensor is also flush with the back of the watch (as opposed to the fenix 3 sensor which protruded slightly) allowing for maximum comfort.
Back to fenix 5 Menu | Back to Top
QuickFit Interchangeable Bands
The Garmin fenix 5 has an offering of 22 different premium leather, metal or silicone bands making it easier than ever to mix and match for any sports, activity or event.
The new QuickFit system allows you to simply 'pop' off the band and 'snap' on a new one! No more messing around with screwdrivers and microscopic screws.
Back to fenix 5 Menu | Back to Top
Slimmed Down Design
Functionality is crucial, but a fitness watch isn't complete without the perfect look and feel. Fortunately, the fenix 5 series comes in a variety of models to match any size wrist and style choice, all of which are noticeably thinner and lighter than the fenix 3. From the watch's finishes to several different band options - from silicone to stainless steel - the fenix 5 can pull off just about any look.
Custom Apps and Watch Faces
Along with the ability to customize the look of the fenix 5 with different watch bands, users can take advantage of free downloads from the Connect IQ store, letting you change your watch face, add data fields or get widgets for information at just a glance. You can even customize your watch with any photo from your smartphone. And while you're working hard to improve your fitness, the fenix 5 is working, too. Garmin is connecting with top companies and developers to build partnerships that add value to your fenix 5 watch. The goal is to make the fenix 5 the ultimate watch to fit your lifestyle.
Back to fenix 5 Menu | Back to Top
Multi-Sport Activity Profiles - Running, Cycling, Skiing, Golf and More!
One of the best features of the fenix 5 is the fact that it's not just for running and hiking. Fans of sports like swimming, skiing and paddle sports can enjoy the fenix 5 on the slopes, in the pool and even the ocean.
For swimmers, the watch tracks distance, pace, stroke count and more. Setting the watch in Ski/Board mode puts speed, distance, vertical drop and a run counter into your time on the slopes, while those interested in paddle boarding can track stroke count, stroke rate and even distance per stroke.
Are you a fan of golf? No need to worry. The fenix 5 gives you yardage to the front, back and middle of the green for any course you've downloaded and boasts additional stat tracking, Green View and AutoShot detection.
Back to fenix 5 Menu | Back to Top
Advanced Performance Metrics & Running Dynamics
Gone are the days of using a simple pedometer or heart rate monitor during your training. The fenix 5 is an information supernova. With this device, you'll get detailed readouts for Training Status and Training Effect that show both aerobic and anaerobic benefits of your workout, meaning you can directly see how your workouts are paying off and compare your stats against your friends. The VO2 max estimator sounds complicated, but with this feature, your fenix 5 crunches data, including running speed, beats per minute and consistent heart rate. You can even track your recovery times to help you cool down faster and maximize your workout.
Running Dynamics
If you're a runner, this device is a dream. Along with tracking the basic stats during a run (steps taken, calories burned), the fenix 5 takes it four steps further. With Performance condition, the fenix 5 will compare your real-time condition to your average fitness levels after running for 6-20 minutes. Lactate threshold uses your pace and heart rate to estimate the point where your muscles start to rapidly reach fatigue, while Stride length shows your stride in real time.
Back to fenix 5 Menu | Back to Top
Chroma Display - Unbeatable Readability in Any Conditions
Along with having an impressive 1.2" watch face, the fenix 5 boasts a full-color Chroma Display with LED backlighting. This will ensure you can read all of the information shown on the watch - from golf course layouts, your resting heart rate and even that work email you "forgot" to respond to - even on the sunniest days. The Sapphire editions also feature a scratch-resistant sapphire lens as well as being Wi-Fi enabled so you can connect almost anywhere.
Back to fenix 5 Menu | Back to Top
Sapphire Lens Upgrade - What's the Difference?
The fenix 5 offers an upgrade to the Sapphire version which offers two main benefits; a scratch-resistant Sapphire lens plus Wifi capabilities, which enables your watch to send data to Garmin Connect without syncing with your smartphone.
Upgrade available in with Black/Black Band and Slate/Metal Band watches.
Back to fenix 5 Menu | Back to Top
Thinking of upgrading to a Performer Bundle? Here's what you'll get:
For the ultimate fitness enthusiasts, the Performer Bundle lets you pair your watch with a compatible HRM-Tri heart rate chest strap, giving you access to these additional fenix 5 metrics:
Vertical oscillation and ratio - shows you how much "bounce" you've got in your step and the benefits of ratio to stride length
Ground contact time and balance - helps aid in running symmetry by letting you know how much time your feet are on the ground vs. in the air during your run
Stress score - stress monitoring is a big deal for some people. With this device, you can monitor your heart rate for three minutes while standing still, which will give you an estimated stress level from 1 to 100. Got a low number? Great! You're not stressed! A high number? Just take a deep breath.
Back to fenix 5 Menu | Back to Top
The features really do seem to never end! Here's a few more:
GPS/GLONASS Satellite Reception
There's nothing more frustrating than being somewhere where your device doesn't work. And with some GPS watches, you might run into that exact situation on a run through the woods or in another remote location. The fenix 5, however, not only uses GPS but also GLONASS satellite reception, allowing the device to more easily and reliably track your activity, even in the most challenging locations. Oh, and don't worry if your plans include water. The Garmin fenix 5 is water-rated up to 100 meters.
Back to fenix 5 Menu | Back to Top
ABC Sensors - Altimeter, Barometer, Compass
In addition to GPS, the fenix 5 has ABC sensor capabilities, better known as Altimeter, Barometer, and Compass. The altimeter provides elevation data to monitor ascent and descent, while the barometer shows short-term trends in air pressure and can actually be used to predict weather changes! the compass, meanwhile, makes sure your adventure stays on point and the days of being lost on the trail are long gone.
Back to fenix 5 Menu | Back to Top
Garmin Connect - Stay Connected!
The fenix 5 allows you to receive all of your smart notifications, including emails, text messages and other alerts right on your watch. And with the help of Garmin Connect and Garmin Connect mobile applications, you can post your results to various social media platforms to send out that latest 'humble brag' to your followers.

"Braden weaves a graceful and philosophical web in which the ineffable and the inevitable are fatally connected. Say desire is the presence of absent reality, then beauty becomes the absence, orbed here by a sequence of sonnets, a sequence of taboos so compelling that a reader cannot help but be seduced by the brilliant symmetry, the Keatsian capability of this poet's meditation."
—Sandra Alcosser, author of Except by Nature
"Mr. Braden's newest collection of poems, A Wreath of Down and Drops of Blood, aspires toward an intellectual coherence unique among contemporary poetry . . . The poet's aspiration to produce a unified book of poetry, rather than a fragmented redaction of poems, is truly admirable. For this reason, Braden's poetry stands as a refreshing (and rewarding) contrast to the dominant tendencies of contemporary lyric poetry."
"Braden may flaunt his poetic tricks, yet he is equally comfortable within the narrative moment's realism. Reading him is akin to knowing a magician's method while still being pleasantly surprised by the beauty of his results."
—Nick Ripatrazone, Prairie Schooner
Returning to variations of a sonnet titled "Taboo against the Word Beauty," Braden relentlessly pursues the possibility of naming the beautiful without ignoring what has so often and so widely been destroyed by human hands.

A new patch has launched for Destiny this morning which includes a few bug fixes left over from when it's expansion 'The Taken King' was released.
The following bugs have been adjusted:
– Some players were seeing their golden chest completion count be reset upon release.
– Some players would not receive the level 40 quest if they did not complete the 'Reach Level 30' quest before reaching 40.
– A mission that had the player take out "high value targets" on select planets was not giving out legendary marks.
– Year one strikes were not rewarding players with the appropriate uncommon and rare loot.
– After a "chest spawn glitch" was abused on the Dreadnaught this is no longer possible. Chests can now only be opened once per chest spawn.
– The "Three Of Coins" item from Xur now has a lower chance of rewarding exotic engrams upon defeating an ultra.
– Dismantling leveled up exotic weapons and armor now have a lowered chance at producing 2 exotic shards.
That about sums it up for this Destiny patch. Is there anything in this update you would have liked to see fixed? Sound off in the comments below!

When the last white farmer in South Africa is impaled dead on a gatepost next to his raped wife? When the last manager, supervisor or political leader's job has been made off-limits to WSM's? When the last male presenter has been kicked and spat at as he exists Broadcasting House for the last time? WHEN will we no longer be privileged? Because these cultural Marxist policies have no sunset clause and no timetable or roadmap for objectives. For all we know they could go on forever!

There are many times I've been abused and threatened with violence because of my colour and gender. You do not know the answer at all. I do not consider myself lucky at all and I think I do feel intimidation on a daily basis. If there are no-go areas for women/gays/black people etc then they at least can make a grievance about it and they will be listened to (This in to to lessen the severity of the former. Please DO NOT attempt to claim that I don't care about them!) The problem is that the attacks on WSM people are institutional and cannot be argued against in the mainstream. I don't see how somebody who can be brutally and genocidally slaughtered in South Africa, as well as refused a job in this country, can be called "privileged". And don't accuse me ever of not thinking about ANYBODY who is suffering from discrimination! I do, all the time.

Tell me Ben, when was the last time someone yelled a racist or homophobic comment at you. When was the last time you were gay bashed, afraid you were going to be raped or beaten up because of your colour. Has anyone ever called you a dirty poof, or a nigger, or a paki, or a bitch. When was the last time someone groped you, or threw bananas at you when you were playing for your team. I know the answer to that one - absolutely never. stop making yourself out to be a victim, there are plenty of places that are no go areas for women, gays and ethnics as well, if the worst you have suffered is not being welcome in a handful of places then consider yourself lucky. You do not face violence and intimidation on a daily basis, that is being under attack, feeling that you may be raped, beaten or murdered for who you are. Stop all this bull crap about being a victimised SWM, you are part of one of the most privileged groups in society and your silly, illogical, delusional bleatings about being discriminated against are laughable. If you feel hard done by then that is your own insecurity, get real. Think about those who really are suffering discrimination. firstname.lastname@example.com

This piece originally appeared on www.sabotagetimes.com.
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers looks set to reconfigure his trademark 4-3-3 system to include new signing Daniel Sturridge, meaning Luis Suárez's days in the 'false nine' role may be at an end.
Given the England international's record at centre-forward, Rodgers' re-think seems sensible. In 2011, Sturridge scored eight goals in twelve appearances while on loan at Bolton, playing so well that on his return to Stamford Bridge many Chelsea fans demanded his inclusion over the misfiring Fernando Torres. That he was subsequently used almost exclusively as a wide forward by a succession of Blues managers is perhaps the most important reason for his failure at the London club.
Rodgers has stated that this tactical change is not a capricious move – rather, the plan has been months in the making. He has been meticulously preparing Suárez for his move away from the central position and believes that the Reds will become stronger for having a more orthodox forward in the side, while maintaining a multidimensional attacking threat.
"I have said that 4-3-3 will become richer because of the type of players," he said, "There is not one way to play 4-3-3. You can play one up, a floating number nine like Luis Suárez and two wingers. You can play one like Daniel Sturridge central, two in and around him narrow, with full-backs bombing on."
Barcelona's is, of course, the system that Rodgers seeks to emulate. The Catalan giants' flexible use of the 4-3-3 formation has routinely seen a forward like David Villa and Alexis Sánchez starting in a narrow position to the left of Lionel Messi, with the Argentine regularly moving deep or to the right in order to allow them to advance through the middle.
On the right, Barça usually play a more natural winger such as Pedro Rodríguez or Isaac Cuenca. In most games, the three attackers interchange with such fluidity that to say one is 'playing centrally' with another 'wide' is simply impossible. A similar sort of variation can be expected at Anfield.
The logic behind the new system is sound. Suárez and Sturridge can easily dovetail and switch roles during games. While the Englishman is admittedly nowhere near as cultured as his Uruguayan colleague, his movement is by no means bad. When required, he can drop deep or move wide and give Suárez space to exploit.
Equally, Suárez will continue to find space in channels while using Sturridge as a reference point. With his excellent ball control and menacing dribbling skill, the Liverpool number seven will invariably draw the attention of a number of defenders when receiving the ball, thereby allowing Sturridge to focus on springing the offside trap.
With the remaining forward role filled by a winger like Raheem Sterling or Stewart Downing, Rodgers' side can vary their attacking approach while maximising the size of the playing area.
Secondarily, accommodating Sturridge will ease the burden on Suárez. For all his brilliance this season, the South American forward has undeniably taken on too much responsibility. Rodgers has repeatedly lamented the fact that his talisman often cuts a defence to ribbons before finding that he has no square option to aid him in finishing off the chance created.
The statistics say it all: while Suárez averages 6.2 shots per game, Steven Gerrard's 2.6 is the next highest figure. Those to have regularly occupied the wide forward roles, Raheem Sterling, Fabio Borini and Suso, average fewer than two shots per game. Sturridge's figure will doubtless be far higher.
Some have questioned the wisdom of moving Suárez while he is in such a rich vein of form. While only Robin Van Persie has scored more than his fifteen Premier League goals this season, Rodgers pointed out that Suarez's performances as a second striker were what convinced Liverpool to sign him in the first place.
"When he played at Ajax he played in behind as a number ten in between the lines and he played as a reverse winger from the left side. He was not quite out wide, he was tucked in. Wherever he plays, he will make the same movements and he will find the space because he is a world-class player."
While playing in the withdrawn role for the Amsterdam side, Suárez scored 111 goals in 159 games. Furthermore, the Ajax system paired him with arguably the most out-and-out number nine around, Klaas-Jan Huntelaar. In 2007-08, the two players combined to score forty-nine Eredivisie goals. While the standard is not necessarily comparable, it is hard not to conclude that if Suárez can work with a finisher as unashamedly one-dimensional as Huntelaar, he can definitely produce the goods alongside Sturridge.
Given Brendan Rodgers' expertise on the training ground, it looks a safe bet that he will quickly maximise the players' understanding of their new roles and how they relate to each other. Sturridge will make his debut in Liverpool's FA Cup third round tie against Mansfield Town on Sunday. While it would be silly to underestimate the Football League side, particularly as the game will be played at Field Mill, it is perhaps the ideal game in which to introduce the Reds' new system.

Two Different Ways of Innovating with Information Technology
The New York Times and Boston Scientific :
Two Different Ways of Innovating with Information Technology
1. As stated in the case, The New York Times chose to deploy their innovation support group as a shared service across business units. What do you think this means? What are the advantages of choosing this approach? Are there any disadvantages? Shared services have long been seen as a supporting unit for the rest of the business with limited impact outside of the bottom line. However, companies and directors of shared services face mounting pressure to make significant contributions other than to the bottom line. Growth and innovation, two of the most critical issues facing companies today, are historically, not the chief concerns of staff functions or of shared services. However, shared services focus on process management expertise forms a critical tool for cost-effective growth. This process management discipline, leveraged through innovation initiatives, allows companies to overcome shortages of key technical talent and lower product cost curves, and expand into international markets. At the New York Times, tough times have elevated IT-enabled innovation to the top of the agenda. A research and development group, created in 2006 operates as a shared service across nearly two dozen newspapers, a radio station, and more than 50 web sites. The role is to accelerate the entry onto new platforms by identifying opportunities, conceptualizing, and prototyping ideas. The group work within a common framework based on idea generation, development, and diffusion throughout the business. The team's work is intended to supplement and support innovation taking place within the business units. Advantages :
Shared services units would also influence how companies manage their human capital, financial capital and technology, arguably three of the most important components of a successful company today....
