Main features
Resistance – Built on magnetic style tension that provides smoother, fluid striding motions. In total, you will have the choice of sixteen levels of difficulty to work through. Ideal for a broad range of fitness abilities ranging from a beginner, to people who have been working out consistently over the years.
Exercise programs – In addition to the tension levels, users will be presented with ten preset workout programs. The idea behind such programs is to add a extra challenge to your training session and tailor them to meet specific workout goals you've set for yourself.
Console – Like many cross trainers on the market, this model provides a console which includes a handy computerized display to get feedback on key elements of your training. Through the screen, users will find data about calories burned per minute, pulse rate, and timing. The areas immediately occupying the space around the screen has buttons that are pretty self explanatory and include switching between one and two user profiles, quick start buttons, and exercise applications.
Heart rate sensor – It's equipped with the ability to track users pulse rate by the usage of sensors through the stationary handlebars.
Cross ramp technology – This technology is designed to alter the course and shape of the stride motion, or path, to work your muscles in differing areas.
Warranty – Like many products released from this brand previously, users can expect a decent warranty policy that covers you for lifetime on the frame, five years on parts, three on the electronics, and one on labor.
Dimensions – Those of you working with limited amounts of space will be interested in the kind of space this machine takes up. The manufacturer lists the measurements as 75 inches in length by 29 inches in width by 65 inches in height. By no means the most compact option in the industry, so be sure you have a reasonable amount of space available in your household before purchasing.
Headphones jack – Comes with the ability to plug in your headphones and listen to your favorite workout playlist.
Wrapping up
The Precor EFX 221 is from a respected brand name that has produced many high quality pieces of home and commercial gym equipment that are reviewed favorably across the web. This model does seem to keep up with that trend with some great functionality to keep your workouts fresh and challenging. However, be aware that this isn't going to be cheap to get your hands on.

5 Powerful Yoga Tips you need to know immediately
Here are five tips that will help yogis of all levels progress safely and steadily.
Yoga has become widely popular all over the world. There are many different schools and paths to choose from. The different paths of yoga were created to appeal to different temperaments. Though the practices of each system may differ somewhat, there is a great common ground between all of them. Here are five tips which are indispensable for yogis of all levels, regardless of the path or school of yoga chosen.
1. Start and finish your sessions like a yogi
"OM is the sound when everything else disappears from your being – no thought, no dream, no projections, no expectations, not even a single ripple – your whole lake of consciousness is simply silent; it has become just a mirror. In those rare moments you hear the sound of silence. It is the most valuable experience because it not only shows a quality of the inner music – it also shows that the inner is full of harmony, joy, blissfulness. All that is implied in the music of OM." – Osho
Before you commence your practice, sit down in any meditative posture, keeping your spine straight. Close your eyes and focus on your breath for a few minutes. Breathe in deeply and chant the mantra OM three times. Chant in a long continuous way, synchronising the chant to the exhalation.
At the end of your practice, lie in Shavasana – corpse pose. Bring your awareness to the breath, breathing deeply from the navel. Relax your body, let your heart rate and breathing drop to normal levels. When you're ready, roll to the side and gently get up. Sit down in any meditative posture and chant OM three times once more, before you leave.
2. Know your current proficiency level
"The greatest progress in life is when you know your limitations, and then you have the courage to drop them." – Yogi Bhajan
"Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them." – Brendan Francis Behan
Understand your current limitations, the physical and mental. How is your flexibility? Do you have frequent back pains? Do you get very anxious when you meditate? Is it difficult to meditate because you have a restless mind? Whatever your current position is, accept it with complete honesty. You can only accurately measure your progress if you know your starting point. Journal your current state with great detail, numbering each of your limitations. Never be in a rush, make slow but steady progress; going too fast will greatly increase the risk of injury. Journal your state each week, and watch those limitations slowly disappear.
3. Move slowly
"It is better to travel well than to arrive." – Gautama Buddha
"The progress of rivers to the ocean is not so rapid as that of man to error" – Voltaire.
Dynamic and fast paced yoga may be great for fitness, but it won't be too beneficial unless you're a proficient yogi. Remember the first aim of yoga is to expand consciousness, even when we practice asanas – postures – the aim is to increase our bodily awareness. This is best achieved by being aware of your breath and slowly – but deeply – moving in to your asanas. Dynamic yoga should only be practiced once the body has achieved high levels of flexibility, when there are no physical ailments and when one is perfectly capable of maintaining full awareness of both body and breath during each asana. Additionally, asanas will help your body eliminate toxins, which should be done gradually and cautiously. When toxins are eliminated too quickly, it can create grave imbalances in the body which will hinder your progress.
4. Breathe like a Yogi
"Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts." – Thich Nhat Hanh
Before you commence your practice, when you start OM chanting ensure you're practicing full yogic breathing. This way we ensure maximum oxygen intake before our practice. However yogic breathing does not need to be maintained during the practice, breathing must be steady, comfortable and deep.
Breathing guidelines should be followed for each asana. Asanas must incorporate consciousness of breath and movement simultaneously. If these are not aligned, then the practice cannot be considered yoga.
Additionally, the mind and the breath are connected. Shallow and quick breathing will make your mind restless, whereas as deep breathing will calm your mind. A calm mind will reap greater results in all endeavours.
5. Stay in the moment, don't worry about results
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." – Gautama Buddha
Don't think about the results of your practice, think only of the present moment. When you concentrate on results, you maintain expectations which automatically create fear of failure and a desire to progress quickly, which often are the cause of all and failure. Stay in the moment, give it your best shot and remain fearless.

The Chinese ambassador to the United States has implied that the US State Department is involved in the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, an allegation that Washington has strongly denied.
"There are individuals and groups in the United States who are really involved in the situation in Hong Kong," Cui Tiankai told Foreign Policy magazine in an interview.
"They could be very deeply involved. If you ask them, they might deny it, but I wonder if they can deny this with a clear conscience."
China's state-owned media have alleged that "foreign forces" were behind Hong Kong's pro-democracy campaign.
But even Legislative Council president and pro-establishment lawmaker Jasper Tsang Yok-sing has said he does not believe foreigners are involved in the protests.
Cui acknowledged that the US government has denied any interference in the Hong Kong protests, and said China hopes that it can count on such assurance.
When pressed on whether Beijing takes the US statement at face value, Cui said: "If it's an official statement from the United States government, the most powerful country in the world, how can you not take it seriously?"
He also said the US has an interest in Hong Kong's continued stability and prosperity because it has "thousands of American companies operating there, tens of thousands of Americans living there".
Since late September, thousands of protesters have been occupying major streets in the city to press their demand for a more democratic election process.
They are opposing Beijing's decision to establish a nominating committee that will vet candidates to the 2017 election of the city's next leader.
"The issue in Hong Kong is not democracy. It's the rule of law, whether people should respect and maintain rule of law, or whether they should try to hurt it," Cui said.
"People's normal life and social order is disrupted. This is hurting the rule of law in Hong Kong. Without rule of law, there's no democracy."

Services in logistics
A logistical chain does not only consist of the movement of goods from one point to the next. Within this chain, or line, various corresponding services can be done that save a lot of additional effort. In this way, not only the supply chain is optimised, but also quality loss is reduced, and at the same time money is saved through the avoidance of unnecessary effort and the use of third parties. Our services fulfil the criteria for optimised supply chains.
B2B und retail
What happens after the production of products and goods? Generally, shipment to the final customer or to the intermediate trade. However, the products need to be prepared for this in order to become attractive for the customer, or to meet their expectations.
- Stuffing and stripping of containers
Sales optimisation is only one point though. General goods handling is another category, whereby one individuality has to be observed, particularly in the trade of container goods. Predominantly in the Asian area, containers are loaded with non-palletised consignments for space reasons. The unloading cannot occur with material handling equipment. It requires manpower, just the same as the loading of the containers requires special attention. In both cases we offer stuffing and stripping of containers.
Services in depth
With "in depth" we mean the diving into goods, in order to prepare these. Like the labelling or marking of goods or products according to your instructions. Placing labels for product marking, price labelling or product security (RFID-Labels). We can also sort products for you in accordance with your instructions, or repack the goods from bulk packaging to sales subsets. We also offer an additional service in this area.
Display construction
Wholesalers and producers offer retail-optimised advertising packaging for placing in sales rooms. These displays have to be filled with goods. We are your partner for this too.

Steven Gerrard's man-of-the-match performance in the 3-1 destruction of Bolton on Friday underlined the defiant unity that has emerged in the Liverpool camp.
It was a crucial victory at a time when specu- lation over manager Gerard Houllier's future comes at every setback.
But Gerrard insisted the club's position was not the manager's fault.
"It is time the players shared the responsibility between us, time for us to stand up and be counted," he said.
Had Liverpool failed again at home on Boxing Day they would have gone to meet the ex-Anfield clan now encamped at Man City today with the wolves at the door again.
But new skipper Gerrard spoke pointedly of the defiance in the Liverpool camp.
"The dressing room is united behind the manager, definitely," he said. "There are no splits in the camp.
"The manager is popular as he supports the players when they are having bad times. He sticks by us. He is a good manager.
"What has been said about him is totally unfair. He is getting battered from all directions, left, right and centre.
"But it is down to us to give him some breathing space. He has bought players here or brought them through the ranks and has faith in us.
"I think it is time the players shared the responsibility. It is time for us to stand up and be counted. To throw the blame on the manager for what has happened this season is not fair."
And he added: "People have short memories. You only have to look at what was happening at the club when the manager took over and what he has achieved."

What Makes A Woman?: A Hint — Not Dream Team Makeup, Attire, and Lighting
I have just completed a brilliant article, "What Makes A Woman?" written by journalist, former professor of women's studies, and documentary filmmaker, Elinor Burkett (The New York Times, Sunday Review, June 7th). Her words, which described strong differences between feminists and transgender activists, helped me clarify why, though I wish Caitlyn Jenner every happiness, something about her words and the coverage of her life altering transition, has left me uncomfortable. As everyone knows Caitlyn's emergence is one brimming over with sexual appeal. She has said again and again that from childhood on she wanted to wear women's clothing. But, as Elinor Burkett has clearly pointed out, Caitlyn has not gone through life as a woman: it is the combination of our inner world, the opportunities and challenges life has offered us, and how we have met these that makes a woman. It is not surgery, or extraordinary lighting and sensual clothing. Further, and these are my thoughts, Caitlyn, even before her transition, has ever lived in the public eye, and will continue to. Exhibitionism is the trademark of her Kardashian family, and she will soon be off to her own reality show. No doubt, this show will attract millions of viewers and make her even wealthier. However, a life of relentless exhibitionism makes one an actor — a performer — not a true human being. Although her financial perks will continue to be extraordinary and public adoration from those who do not know will continue, this way of living does not offer a real life and the chance to grow emotionally and truly come to terms with adulthood.
Through the ages women have fought hard for academic and opportunities. We have worked so hard and fought so many battles that often we no longer even remember them, unless they are called to our attention. Even our own daughters will never completely understand the intensity of our fight for opportunity, where we are seen as true professionals and not office sex objects, there to spice things up, stimulate male thinking power, bring them coffee and order flowers for their wives, mistresses, girlfriends. The world of opportunity of our young adult daughters is so vastly different than ours was that they can never know all we gave and sacrificed to bring this change. There were so many struggles, dangers, indignities — addressed brilliantly in the article. We even had to fight to have our husbands with us in the delivery room when our children were born. We had to fight to reform divorce laws and to educate clergy that prayer alone will not end domestic violence. And this struggle continues: Hillary Clinton and other women in political office know that others will be upset and angry if they talk too much about all they have accomplished. Yes, even today If women express opinions that threaten men in our professional worlds, the fall out can be horrific. Also, sexual abuse on an emotional level remains a huge problem for those who must earn a living, not to mention in relationships many feel they cannot leave.
On a couple of occasions I have had my photo taken for magazines, both locally and nationally. I cannot begin to tell you the hours spent on correct lighting, makeup and clothing. For me this experience was a total waste of time, and I can assure you that without this talent you look very different. When my photo for my next book was taken, I chose a wonderful photo-journalist Sharon Wohlmuth. Sharon sees her clients in her home or theirs, and uses only natural light, which she calls G-d's light. The whole experience took 20 minutes, and we talked and shared honestly the whole time. It was enriching.
Caitlyn Jenner has been a man who longs to be a woman. Her struggle is noteworthy, and yes, I think she is very brave. But for her to really understand what makes a woman, she will need to leave her stage and join the real world to see how it really is to live and struggle as a woman. The best makeup, the most sensual clothing, and even Annie Leibowitz will not be able to do this for her.

The lighthouse painters rolled over the sand, past the giant dead turtle and the epic driftwood sculpture, all the way out to Wood End Light.
The lighthouse painters rolled over the sand, past the giant dead turtle and the epic driftwood sculpture, all the way out to Wood End Light.
It was a caravan that carried only one color.
"All white paint," painter Bill Jenkins of Cotuit said. "The brightest you can get."
Jenkins, chairman of the Cape Cod Chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation, and about a dozen other volunteers from the organization mixed, poured, scraped and brushed in a painterly ballet at Wood End on Tuesday.
The approximately 40-foot tall brick tower was no match for the work party and their giant ladders, safety harnesses and telescoping rollers. About 20 gallons of semigloss latex paint was expected to be used on the Wood End job, a task likely to take around six hours.
Despite the daunting challenge, spirits were high among the speckled crew.
"I'm covered with paint; paint is blowing around, but it's just delightful," said volunteer Sue Racicot of Springfield. "This experience, painting a lighthouse, is just a once-in-a lifetime adventure."
Wood End Light is located in the far West End of Provincetown, perhaps most easily accessed by walking across a roughly one-mile long breakwater. First illuminated in 1872, it became automated in 1961 and is still an active aid to navigation, according to a National Park Service history. The grounds and structures are maintained by the lighthouse foundation and the Coast Guard handles the optical end of things.
Thor Aarhaug, a hiker from Norway on a first-time tour of New England, walked over the breakwater and right up to the glistening spectacle and was treated to a rare inside glimpse.
"I'm very happy to see that people are contributing to the condition of the lighthouse," Aarhaug said.
The same volunteers painted nearby Long Point Light on Monday. And while meals were provided to the crew, perhaps the true source of painting power was the estimated 50 Snickers candy bars consumed over the two-day period.
Jenkins called the Wood End job "a quick dress-up" aimed at lasting for about two or three years. Volunteers would have liked to use a longer lasting ceramic-based paint, but the pre-existing paint job was in bad shape.
"The paint is in very rough condition," Jenkins said. "It'd be kind of a waste to put expensive paint over a surface that's already flaking."
Asked to explain the draw of lighthouses, Jenkins looked around at the glimmering Cape tip.
"It is a destination, a lighthouse. If it was all just dunes, nah, you'd get lost," said Jenkins. "At least this is a beacon of hope."

I am in the lolly shop standing their like I am frozen, looking at all the lollies trying to pick one for my friend for her birthday .The problem is she can only have sweet lollies! Twenty minutes later I pick one. I pay for it and leave. When I get home I get changed and go to the party, it was a great party. I gave the lolly to Grace and she ate it straight away. When she finished she cried ''I don't…. Grace didn't finish what she was saying because I blurted out, ''But it said sweet on the wrapper.'' All of a sudden she passed out....

Every few weeks we interview someone from EDS. This time we have our Ballroom and Latin teacher Miranda van den Broek. Miranda has been a part of EDS since the first year and she never left. As a third child out of a family with four kids she grew up in Maaskantje, which now is known for the tv show New Kids. She studied both Japankunde (at the EUR) and Communication-science (at the UvA) and she also was a fanatic rower at Skadi for 5 years.
Because Miranda has been at EDS for such a long time – in the 2nd and 3rd year she was also a board member – the interview started with the question how it was in the early days!
EDS started with a try-out lesson Mambo (the predecessor of Salsa) and around 200 people showed up! When the lessons themselves started Miranda immediately joined the Advanced Ballroom & Latin group which consisted of three couples. This also became the EDS-formationteam. In the second year of EDS she organized the first student competition of the Netherlands as a board member: the open Rotterdam championships. In the third year she took over the lessons and she has been our very experienced teacher ever since!
EDS started with Ballroom & Latin, Rock & Roll and HipHop. In the second year there was also a new course called New Dances which had the Lambada among others. After a few years all styles except for Ballroom & Latin disappeared (because of the restrictions of the room) and 4 years ago salsa was introduced.
How do you still endure students?
To be honest I come for the dancing, because I love being busy with dancing and to transfer my passion onto others. And also to see that a lot of students are excited about dancing. I was a student myself of course when I joined and I just stayed, because teaching dance lessons ánd EDS are both things I hold close to my heart.
The continuous coming and going of boards is the thing I find difficult nowadays, because every year they have to invent the wheel all over again. There is always some information that has not been passed on from one board to the next. That is not typical a student thing; more a thing of the present time.
What is your favourite dance?
I don't actually have a favourite dance! When I hear music, and there is a certain dance that belongs to it, then that particular dance is my favourite dance at that moment be it Salsa, Lindy Hop or Argentinian Tango. If I really would have to choose it would be the Slow Waltz for Ballroom and the Rumba for Latin. You can put more of your own feeling in it because you have enough time. At the Slow Waltz you're floating and the Rumba is really cosy.
What is the best and worst thing about teaching for you?
To see people grow, being enthusiastic, catching on to it. That is really nice for me. In the lessons I try to carry out that if you understand the locomotion and you understand the certain logic you can learn anything. It´s not about steps and figures. In my opinion you can also learn Salsa more easily after my lessons.
What I find difficult is the difference in ambition within classes. Some members are there for competitions and others just want to learn the steps for themselves. The balance is sometimes hard to find.
What is the biggest difference between EDS in the first year and EDS now?
EDS still exists of course, but there have been moments where people considered to end the association and I made sure EDS could continue.
A positive similarity is that there are still people excited for dancing and that they keep coming, just the fact that we still exist; 26 years, that is amazing right!?
One of the differences is that the majority of our classes now belong to Salsa. I like that of course (I also love Salsa), but it's too bad that Ballroom & Latin (with 10 different styles) is more difficult to promote.
A difference that I don't like so much is the closeness of our current room. You really have to look for us specifically in the building. There is no way to just watch quietly without disrupting the lesson, you don't see each others lessons anymore.
For Ballroom & Latin in particular I notice that the competition dancing has changed the social aspect of dancing. In the higher levels it is all about training right now. During dance evenings you can see that there is less integration between the higher and lower levels.
Where do you see EDS in 10 years?
That is a difficult question in my opinion when I just think of Ballroom & Latin. Salsa almost promotes itself but for our style this is much more difficult. Certainly because there are less and less social occasions where you can dance socially. Our rooms aren't ideal, so I would like to change that. I hope EDS stays a healthy association and that the dance evenings/activities are nice and well attended with all levels and all styles ánd with some drinks/food!
Who do you nominate for the next interview?
Sebastiaan Kamphuis. He is one of the 'older' members of EDS; he attended classes for 6(?) years and he has been my assistant for 4 years now. He had already danced somewhere else before in Almelo I think. Maybe this is his 10 year anniversary at EDS?

Weird how all I have to do is mention Mastodon on my blog & a dozen new people show up. It's as if there's a lot of pent-up desire for an alternative.
@pzmyers You think?
Well I got here because of that post. Now to see who writes interesting things here.
Makes sense. Twitter never tempted me: I don't hate women enough -- hell, I don't even own a fedora! This looks much better.
@etfb It's calmer. Nazis get booted the instant they expose themselves.
Hey, you're quite old, like me. Remember back when Nazis were in the past? Great days, great days...

How to Make a Cherry Pie and See the U.S.A.
- $4.99
- $4.99
Publisher Description
IN THIS EXUBERANT companion story to How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World, our young baker sets her sights on a cherry pie. She heads off on a round-the-U.S.A. journey to find all the materials she needs to stock her kitchen: New Mexico for clay (mixing bowl), Washington for wood (rolling pin), Hawaii for sand (sand? to make the glass for her measuring cup, of course). In joyful art filled with small vignettes and sly humor, two-time Caldecott Honor winner Marjorie Priceman takes us on a cross country journey by riverboat, taxi, bus, train, plane—all in search of the natural resources of our country. Includes a brightly painted endpaper map of the U.S.A.—and a recipe for cherry pie, of course!
Priceman (How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World) fires up the oven for another fanciful baking cum geography lesson. Her aspiring young pastry chef, jaunty pinafore and straw hat in place, embarks on a nationwide search for utensils as well as ingredients when she finds the local cook shop closed. First stop, New York, for a taxi ride to the corner of Pennsylvania and Ohio ; Then find the closest coal mine (used to make steel, and thus a pie pan). Ship, plane, train and bus are among the other modes of transport that carry our heroine from sea to shining sea and beyond, to Alaska and Hawaii, landing her home for pie preparation on the Fourth of July. Like a series of playful postcards, the gouache scenes feature recognizable landmarks (Golden Gate Bridge, Mount Rushmore, oil wells), with the girl's loyal Airedale in on the action, too. Fans of the first book will cotton to this second helping, even though it's slightly less spontaneous. And the pie recipe is a welcome extra. Ages 5 8.

When the Baton Rouge, Louisiana'based billboard company Lamar Advertising outgrew its headquarters, finding another traditional office building would have been the natural next step. But a 1970s data center across the street hit the market, and management decided to make the leap—despite the building's closed-off precast-concrete facade and stingy allotment of windows. "You can imagine staff saying, 'What, we're going to move into that?' " recalls architect Steve Dumez of the New Orleans'based firm Eskew+Dumez+Ripple (EDR). "It took a tremendous amount of vision to look at that building and say, 'This is going to be our new headquarters.'"
Choosing a frumpy building may seem like a puzzling move for a graphics company, but for CEO Sean Reilly, it was the interior that mattered. "It's not important for us to brag, but rather to create a space that makes our employees feel welcome," Reilly says. The three-story, 115,000-square-foot building, which opened in March 2012, includes a large training room, open-plan workstations, a ground-floor cafeteria, and an outdoor patio shaded by oak trees.
In the August 2019 issue, Architectural Record features building type studies on landscape and leisure.

Microsoft shipped the latest iteration of its .NET Framework, version 4.7.1, adding support for .NET Standard 2.0 among a host of other improvements to accessibility, security, performance, reliability and more.
.NET Standard defines APIs that all conformant .NET implementations must provide to ensure consistent API usage across development projects, replacing the previous Portable Class Libraries (PCL) as the means to create libraries for all scenarios.
Version 2.0 of the .NET Standard made big news when it was announced in August with the addition of tens of thousands of APIs.
And now, some 200 additional .NET Standard APIs are being provided with .NET Framework 4.7.1 that weren't available in v4.7 or earlier versions.
"Applications that target .NET Framework 4.6.1 through 4.7 must deploy additional .NET Standard 2.0 support files in order to consume .NET Standard 2.0 libraries," Microsoft explained in a blog post yesterday. "This situation occurred because the .NET Standard 2.0 spec was finalized after .NET Framework 4.6.1 was released. .NET Framework 4.7.1 is the first .NET Framework release after .NET Standard 2.0, enabling us to provide comprehensive .NET Standard 2.0 support."
That comprehensive support comes built-in with the new Windows 10 Fall Creators Update of Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2017 15.5, just announced in preview.
Amid a plethora of minor under-the-hood tweaks, Microsoft also: made improvements to Garbage Collection; expanded options for ASP.NET forms authentication credentials; provided customized configuration builders in addition to the current static config files; and much more.
On the GitHub site for the vast open source framework, Microsoft organized the changes by product area, so developers can dig deeper into topics that interest them, including:
One major area of focus that cuts across nearly all of the above is accessibility. Microsoft made a host of improvements designed to help developers boost the usability of their applications for all users, including those with impairments or disabilities.
Accessibility was improved for Windows Forms, WPF, WCF SDK tools and more, in the form of screen reader enhancements, high-contrast changes for controls, better narrator support and more.
The comprehensive release notes on GitHub provide more information on the myriad changes.

Drone Competition
Exploring unmanned and autonomous technologies
We're fascinated by every aspect of unmanned and autonomous technology, from the fundamentals of design, construction and operation to the many applications - and implications - for the use of drones.
The drone competition team gives engineering students the opportunity to apply classroom and lab-based learning to live projects by designing, manufacturing and testing our own Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) or Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS).
This student-led initiative also helps to develop skills in leadership, project management and teamwork. Extracurricular activities supplement your degree studies and broaden your knowledge - which is appealing to prospective employers.
We are currently competing in the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) UAS Challenge with teams from all over the UK including the Universities of Bath, Southampton and Cambridge.

If Darwin had gotten involved in politics or broad religious criticism it could not only have significantly undermined his credibility, but it could have put everlasting baggage on evolutionary theory as well. Source: p?id10570 I'm not sure what an "arch-Darwinian" is, but the idea that either science or evolutionary theory support postmodernism is a complete reversal of the facts.
It demands total annihilation of anything weaker than necessary and the ruling of anyone more powerful than others. To claim that such a man was a defender or promoter of racism is truly abhorrent.

What the Second Law of Thermodynamics is essentially stating is that differences in energy in a closed system tend towards equilibrium. Obviously, this is not the case.

Good morning, RVA! It's 42 °F, which does indeed seem like a February temperature. Expect highs today around 60 °F and lots of clouds in the sky.
Water cooler
The two houses of the General Assembly, not so alike in dignity, in fair Richmond, where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny by Republicans in the House of Delegates who support and have included Medicaid expansion in their version of the Commonwealth's budget! The WaPo has a Shakespeare-free write up of the current state of Virginia's budget impasse: The House of Delegates has passed a bipartisan budget that includes $420 million of federal money to expand Medicaid, while the Senate has made $420 million of cuts so they don't have to expand Medicaid. Senator Janet Howell puts it well: "We've cut student aid, public safety, mental-health programs, programs for the disabled, programs to have a reliable election system. And why have we made these cuts? We've made them to deprive low-income people of health care."
Laura Ingles at Style Weekly was at a recent meeting of our local chapter of Moms Demand Action For Gun Sense in America. On hand was Virginia Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Brian Moran. He acknowledged that while Virginia Republicans' dark fascination with guns (those are my words) has thus far prevented any meaningful gun violence legislation, he thinks we're at a tipping point.
Aaron Thomas from WTVR has a quick piece about Chesterfield's Commonwealth's Attorney no longer assigning staff "to misdemeanor criminal offenses and traffic infractions in the lower court." They cite reviewing police body camera footage as one of the reasons they're simply running out of time and person power to prosecute these cases. This is not an uncommon complaint! A couple years back, when Richmond Police started rolling out their own body cameras, lack of resources was one of our Commonwealth's Attorney's major concerns when asking for more money from City Council. Body cameras generate a ton of footage, and that makes it tough for understaffed offices to process. This is, of course, not any sort of judgment on the value of body cameras. The Commonwealth's Attorney will present their needs for this year's budget to City Council during April 2nd's budget session.
Inspired by this post on r/RVA, I made a quick side-by-side comparison of the Strava heatmap for running and biking in Richmond. It's neat to see where people love to ride (down by the river) versus where they love to run (all over the Fan). Also, for extra credit, compare these maps with the racial dot map of Richmond and report back your (unsurprising) results.

A programming note update! Turns out I was wrong about the Richmond Times-Dispatch putting up an instant and omnipresent paywall. Yesterday, after I wrote a bit about my internal conflict on linking to paywalled RTD articles, I got an email from their subscription department. In part it said: "It's important to clarify that there has been no change in our policy of allowing access to five local articles per month before asking users to subscribe. Access to non-local content remains unmetered. This week we have been in the process of upgrading our subscription-management features on Richmond.com, and the paywall has been taken down during the transition. The pay meter was reinstalled last night, but some subscribers received error messages when they tried to access the site this morning. Once we discovered the issue we immediately took down the paywall while we work to solve the problem." I'm still having trouble accessing their site this morning (hence no RTD links today), but I need to remember that I should never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by technological malfunctions.

How a Belief in American Exceptionalism Is Making America Less Exceptional
Somehow, we're too exceptional to take naps or long vacations? That's garbage!
Somewhere along the line, though, the idea of American Exceptionalism evolved into a conviction that the U.S. as a country had little to learn from the rest of the world. That is why the word "nationalism" is much more positive in the U.S. than in Europe, where the word still reminds people of their continent's periodic flirtations with authoritarianism. That idea of exceptionalism is contained in the resurgently popular "America First" slogan, and the fact that fewer than two in five Americans have ever traveled abroad. It is why international news is usually an afterthought for most U.S. media, and why American politicians so often reduce foreign policy to a simple us-against-them calculus.

Ex-Provost Guilty of Favoritism
A University of California investigation into the hiring of Lynda Goff concluded that former UC Provost M.R.C. Greenwood had violated university policies regarding conflict of interest.
Goff was hired as an executive faculty associate and later as the UC's director of the Science and Math Initiative. Goff's salary in both positions was $192,000.
Greenwood resigned from her position on Nov. 4 during an investigation of misconduct.
Greenwood and Goff jointly owned a house at the time of Goff's hiring, and both were listed as co-mortgagees on a bank loan. Goff also planned to purchase Greenwood's share of the house.
'Because of her ongoing business relationship with Dr. Lynda J. Goff, which constituted a financial interest, Dr. Greenwood violated university conflicts policy when she offered Dr. Goff successive appointments in the Office of the President, and failed to disclose this fact,' said the UC Office of General Counsel in a summary of its findings concerning Goff's hiring.
Although Greenwood was faulted by the investigation, no retributive action will be taken against her because she has already resigned from her position as provost.
Greenwood is taking a 15-month paid vacation, during which she will receive $377,300. After she returns, she will assume a position as a professor in the College of Agriculture at UC Santa Cruz. Her salary will be $163,800 annually, and she will be given $50,000 per year for two years to help in her research.
'While a faculty member at [UC Davis], and as Chancellor of [UC Santa Cruz], Dr. Greenwood earned, but never used, a one-year sabbatical,' according to a transition agreement between Greenwood and the UC Regents. 'Accordingly, Dr. Greenwood is entitled to take a one-year sabbatical leave commencing as of the date of Dr. Greenwood's resignation. … It is also understood that former President Atkinson granted Dr. Greenwood permission to take a paid administrative leave for three months at a time of her choosing.'
M.R.C. Greenwood's son, James Greenwood, is at the center of another hiring controversy, involving Winston Doby, UC vice president of student affairs.
During summer 2005, James Greenwood applied for three student affairs positions at UC Davis and two at UC Merced. He did not advance to the interview stage of hiring for any of these positions.
On July 11, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Jane Lawrence spoke with James Greenwood on the phone. She provided him with encouragement, but said that there was no funding for additional internships.
On July 16 or 17, Doby had a 'lengthy weekend breakfast meeting' with James Greenwood. During the meeting, Doby suggested that an internship would be a good way for Greenwood to gain career experience.
On July 28, Greenwood was interviewed for a newly created internship provided by funds from the Office of the President. He was the only candidate for the job. The salary was $45,000.
'At UC Merced, senior officials up to and including the executive vice chancellor and the chancellor were aware of the James Greenwood hiring and the fact that funding was being provided by the Office of the President,' said the UC Office of the University Auditor in a report about the hiring. 'This matter does not appear to have been the subject of extensive critical thinking about the possible perceptions regarding the propriety of hiring the provost's son.'
Both Doby and M.R.C. Greenwood said that they did not discuss Doby's efforts to hire James Greenwood with each other.
Although, according to the UC Office of the University Auditor, Doby 'accepts the failure to recognize the appearance of favoritism … in providing funding for a specific individual, who was the son of his boss, for a position that didn't previously exist,' he defended his motives.
'My goals of helping the Merced campus and helping a young man at a crossroads in his professional life were sincere and without malice,' Doby said in a statement to UC President Robert Dynes.

Column lifts
Column lift in lowered position
Are you looking for a lifting unit with high lift heights at limited platform dimensions? Then you have found the right product just now!
Customers often need a customised solution when it comes to column lifts. To us, that's no problem. We look forward to your request.
Your advantages
Unlike a lift table, the column lift makes use of a mast instead of scissors to achieve the lift. This structural design allows for high conveying height despite the smaller platform dimensions. But this is not the only advantage. Column lifts also have a low drive-on height so that often a small ramp is sufficient to load the lift. In other words: You usually do not need a pit at all.
- Small platform dimensions with a relatively large effective lift
- Low drive-on height (usually no pit required)
- Solutions also for special requirements
What you should also know
Column lifts are often can also be used as simplified freight lifts. Perhaps that's true of your application needs? Then please have a look here.

Picture this: You just hiked 30 miles and spent three nights camping in the wilderness. You return to the trailhead and get in your car, tired, dirty and sore. This is a pivotal moment. One in which you're faced with two choices: You could either A) unceremoniously drive home to the same old stresses of everyday life, or B) extend your trip for a day and drive to a swanky hotel to spend the night recovering while being waited on hand and foot.
Basically, the second option (and it's the one we're pushing here, if you couldn't tell) offers you a vacation from your vacation. Because really, there's no better way to toast your time roughing it in the woods (and the fact that you survived) than by rewarding yourself with a big comfortable bed, room service, and if you really want to treat yo' self, a massage.
Sure, a seasoned backpacker may not feel the need to celebrate their completed trek, but if you're new to backpacking, or simply don't get to go as often as you'd like, you might as well live it up when you're done.
First, make sure you have all of the backpacking gear you need to master the "time in the woods part," then consult the list below to find a trail with a nearby luxury hotel for your next adventure. This way, when the daily grind does sink its teeth into you again, at least you'll feel rested.

Touring Lake Chelan by Surfski
The Lake Chelan wilderness is a wonderful place to find fresh air, cold clear water and wild open country. AND IF YOU'RE LUCKY, MAYBE YOU'll FIND YOURSELF TOO.
A little over 50 miles in length, the lake presents a variety of paddling opportunities, and yet the two hemispheres of the lake couldn't be more different from each other.
The southeastern aspect of the lake is a water sport playground for power boat and resort types, and has a bit of a high desert feel surrounded by orchards, vineyards and matching villas with breathtaking views. As one travels the lake north west, the resorts and waterfront mansions give way to towering mountains and eventually... absolute wilderness. No roads, very few boat accessible landing sites and a couple of remote villages that are only accessible by boat, trail or airplane (Lucerne and Stehekin).
One thing both ends of the lake have in common: heaps of wind that can blow in virtually any direction and create rugged, ocean like conditions and very little chance of immediate rescue if you get in over your head once past the Twenty Five Mile campground (which is not at the 25 mile point of the lake, fyi). The steep mountain terrain and sheer cliff sides tend to funnel and amplify the wind, and the sheer rocky shoreline can make for sections where wind and water create hay-stacking rebound water conditions. All of which is totally alluring for the viking minded but an absolute no-go for the less prepared or skilled. Most lake forecasts that I have found are not accurate forecasting the wind conditions on the water up-lake. I suspect this is because the data comes from either town of Chelan or the nearby mountain tops. On the other hand, I have had trips to Chelan where the water is simply glass flat for days on end (more likely in August).
Lake Chelan has a water composition similar to Lake Tahoe; the high mineral content keeps the lake water incredibly clear and limits plant growth. The lake is is also very, very deep (1486') with numerous kayak accessible primitive campsites, but you'll need to be skilled enough to land in potentially rough water next to granite slabs. Not a big deal if you paddle a plastic boat, but very much a big deal if you paddle a delicate surfski.
There are several small docks and formal campsites along the lake, but they require a bit more planning (getting a permit) and might limit your itinerary for the trip. There is also the fact that you'll be around other campers, something I prefer to just avoid when going to the wilderness in the first place.
A word about the power boats: In July / August the south eastern aspect of the lake is a big, rowdy party and some of the boats can be aggressive to paddlers (just like cars can be to cyclists). The tension is particularly high around boat ramps. Up lake is a totally different mindset, and you're likely to get a few surprised looks and friendly wave's if you're out on a big day up lake for an adventure. Up lake, a VHF radio is your best bet for any type of rescue or help, and there are forest service ranger boats up there on a regular basis.

Shift from kerosene to solar to improve power supply
Thursday - April 18, 2019 12:42 pm , Category : BUSINESS
New Delhi, April 18 (IANS) Switching subsidies from kerosene to off-grid solar products would improve electricity access for households still reliant on kerosene, a study by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) said on Thursday.Despite the success of the 'Saubhagya' scheme, millions of households continue to use kerosene lamps during outages or because they cannot afford electricity.But kerosene is problematic because it provides poor quality light, causes harmful indoor air pollution and is a fire risk.The report titled 'Policy Approaches for a Kerosene to Solar Subsidy Swap in India', shows support for off-grid solar that could be made available directly to households through manufacturers or as subsidised credit through financial institutions.IISD Associate and study co-author Balasubramanian Viswanathan, said: "Over the lifetime of the products, solar lanterns, home systems and microgrids are all cheaper than the combined household and government expenditure on kerosene. The government could actually save money by switching support to solar."Martand Shardul, Fellow at TERI and co-author, added: "From the state and central level consultations it is clear that the government wants to provision access to energy for lighting to everyone. Communities also aspire to transition to solar-based solutions for lighting."An earlier joint publication by IISD and TERI in July 2018 explored the business case for a subsidy swap.The 2019 study goes further by providing a six-step implementation plan for governments.The first three steps provide options on funding, targeting recipients and selecting solar products.The next steps are presented as three separate pathways depending on whether the government chooses to subsidise consumers, manufactures or financial products.The goal for each pathway is the same -- to assist India's transition to clean and reliable power for all.

Sunday Suppers
Neilly and I signed up to take a Sunday Supper class in November. She's opening a home store in New Jersey early next year with her mom. The store will include cooking classes so she just wants to check out how different ones are arranged to figure out what will work best for her.
Here is a little blurb about our class:
A pre-thanksgiving tutorial. Learn how to make an amazing holiday dinner with top chef alum Camille Becerra. The class will cover the classics, with a little twist. You will learn how to make a holiday feast in under 2 hours utilizing the freshest market ingredients. You'll also learn how to smoke at home, a nifty trick – sure to impress. This class will be followed by a sit down meal for all guests.
Kombucha Squash Soup
cumin crème, smoked almonds
Fall Fruits
(persimmon, pear, apple, figs, ect.)
arugula, marinated ricotta-salata
Stuffed Turkey Breast
chestnut, currant + sage
Bone Marrow-Swiss Chard Gratin
Cranberry Quince Chutney
Pumpkin Creme Brulee
Now . . . there is slight possibility that I will thow up in my mouth (sorry!) when we do the bone marrow thingy but I'm going to try to stay strong because everything else sounds amazing.
Sunday Suppers are class-cooking-dining experiences, pairing friends and food. The classes are held in a waterfront loft in Williamsburg and are taught by local Chefs. The food is market fresh, local and organic and the approach is to create seasonal and fresh meals together. I first found out about the concept through Mike. He used to work with one of the creator's (Karen Mordechai) husbands. AND they were actually both (randomly) at the Hampton's Oustanding the in Field dinner the other weekend (small world!). Neilly forwarded me the link to the cooking class, yesterday, asking if I wanted to participate . . . and I noticed Karen's picture . . . put two and two together and there you go!
In addition to the Sunday Supper events they have some restaurant reviews. Two are favorites in our Neighborhood (Karen and her husband live right down the street) . . .
And Bakeri (two words – lavender shortbread – YUM).
Karen took all of the pictures . . . here are a few others in her portfolio.
I'll make sure to tell you all about it in November!
