Course title is misleading. It is actually a course on Managing Agile Software development, not Product management.
There is common understanding in active product management community that major focus for product manager is market. Market is not mentioned in this course at all.
What requirements and schedule, guys??? Current product management is all about hypotheses, A/B testing, customer development, experiments, lean UX, etc.
You completely missing the point.
Still, this course can be a good one for those who want to start Managing agile software development.

A LIVERPOOL teenager who miraculously survived after plunging from a seventh-floor hotel balcony today warned other young holidaymakers to act sensibly.
Jake Evans, 18, fell 90ft after leaning over railings to catch a cigarette lighter. He believes he would have died if he had not landed on a plastic sun lounger.
Jake, of Dovecot, sustained a catalogue of injuries following the accident in Magaluf in May last year and is now the face of a Foreign Office campaign to prevent accidents involving young people on balconies at popular holiday resorts.
So far this year, three people have been killed in balcony falls while on holiday and 10 others have been seriously injured.
In Majorca and Ibiza, there have been nine cases this year – already matching figures for 2011 – despite it only being halfway through the holiday season.
Young people travelling out to resorts will be handed leaflets which tell Jake's story, while he features in a film carried on the Foreign Office's website.
Jake said: "Me and a couple of friends went to Magaluf in May for a short break. I was on the balcony and needed a lighter for a cigarette so I asked the balcony below.
"They threw a lighter up, I went to grab it, leaned over the balcony and just went head first. I hit six or seven balconies on the way down and landed on a plastic sun lounger.
"People who saw that accident said if the sun lounger was not there I would not probably be here, I would be dead."
Jake was admitted to hospital in Palma, Majorca, with a fractured skull but that was not the full extent of his injuries – he his broken front teeth cut through his top lip, he cut his eyelids along with other parts of his face and body, snapped his right wrist, broke all his fingers on his right hand, damaged his left wrist, did irreparable damage to his back and cut a considerable hole in his leg.
His mum Bernadette, 42, who flew out to see him, did not think he would make it home alive.
She said: "I thought 'I am not bringing him home, he is not coming home with me. I am seeing him for the last time'."
Most balcony accidents involved people aged between 18 and 35, with alcohol often playing a part.
Jake added: "It was a lesson to all my friends – be careful, this is what could happen. I am really lucky, I should not actually be alive.
"The only advice I can give is be sensible, drink responsible and try not to use balconies. And if you do, act sensibly. Don't be hanging off the edge."
Nikki White, from the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA), said: "Each year too many young people are permanently injured or worse because they have tried to climb over or dive off their hotel balcony."

My brother sent a photo of Mom holding his newest grandchild. Yes, the same grandchild who has been featured before in this blog.
New life gives me hope. And there is something about Mom holding little Jenna that makes me think of history and time and family of course and also connection.
The photo speaks of one generation presenting the next with the wisdom and skills, training and knowledge they need to grow and prosper. Mentoring, parenting, mothering, fathering, nurturing -- all words alluding to our responsibility to raise up the next generation.
Have we been remiss at these duties? Just because a child comes with parents, doesn't mean we the extended family or the community at large have no responsibility, no calling, to help this child be all that he or she can believe.
Ahhhh the things my mother could teach Jenna. Pie baking? Quilting? Crocheting? How to hold your tongue, how to deal with difficult people, how to survive, and thrive, and find humor in even the most difficult of times? What it is like to ride in a horse and buggy? How to make maple syrup, tap the trees, boil the sap. How to be a neighbor. How to bloom where you're planted.
I so hope Jenna gets a chance to learn these things, if not from her Great-Grandma, perhaps from the rest of us who were taught by her.
What do you have to teach the next generation? Don't let it slip by. Dust it off and present the wisdom, knowledge, skills, insights, hard-won victories -- don't let them die with you or your generation.

The supply chain that connects growers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in the food and beverage industry is incredibly complex, yet this entire infrastructure rests on one simple component: pallets.
Without the pallet, the ability to transport large quantities of food and beverage items along this supply chain would be greatly hindered, maybe even impossible.
Too often, this warehouse workhorse is overlooked. Here's why pallets are so critical in the safe, secure and economical transportation of food and beverage goods, and why wooden pallets, in particular, are so beneficial to those in this industry.
Advantages of Using Pallets in Food and Beverage Supply Chains
An effective pallet system can transform a supply chain, and the benefits of using such a system for companies in the food and beverage industry are vast.
- Easier, faster transportation
- Reduces manual labor requirements
- Increases operational efficiency
- Increases transportation efficiency
- Reduces risk of product damage
- Reduces risk of worker injury
- More efficient warehouse storage
- Provides adequate circulation & drainage
8 Benefits of Wooden Pallets in Transporting Food and Beverage
Wood is by far the most common material used in pallet construction for the food and beverage industry. In weighing your choice between wooden, plastic and aluminum pallets, here are eight benefits of wooden pallets to consider when transporting food and beverage items.
1. Affordability
Pallets constructed out of wood are significantly cheaper than plastic or aluminum pallets. Although this is one of the smaller costs associated with a food and beverage supply chain, over time, reducing your pallet costs can help you realize tremendous overall savings in your transportation chain.
2. Retained Value
While wooden pallets are significantly less expensive than their plastic or aluminum counterparts, they still retain their value well over time. The potential resale value can help your business recoup some of its investment if your transportation needs change in the future.
3. Strength and Durability
Food and beverage shipments can be quite heavy. Wooden pallets are naturally stronger and capable of holding significantly more weight than the alternatives. These can typically bare as much as 3,000 pounds, while plastic pallets are generally capable of holding just half the weight.
Another advantage of a wooden pallets superior strength is in their durability. The strong and sturdy construction of wooden pallets mean that they are less likely to be damaged, helping reduce replacement costs and keeping your supply chain flowing.
4. Ease of Repair
Despite the strength and durability of wooden pallets, any pallet can become damaged when used in a food and beverage supply chain. However, wooden pallets are much easier than plastic or aluminum to repair and return to service.
Plastic and aluminum pallets typically cannot be repaired. Replacement costs for these are high. On the other hand, wooden pallets can quickly and inexpensively be replaced if damage occurs.
5. Natural Antimicrobial Properties
Wood contains antimicrobial properties that are not present in plastic or aluminum. The use of wooden pallets can help cut down on the spread of dangerous bacteria, as long as your company (and those within your supply chain) take time to regularly inspect them for contamination.
6. Reduced Cross-Contamination Risk
When shipping food and beverage goods, one of the biggest concerns is limiting the spread of dangerous bacteria and reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Well-cleaned and maintained wooden pallets help limit the spread of bacteria greatly.
In the case bacteria does come in contact with a wooden pallet from contaminated food, wood's natural tendency to absorb bacteria helps limit its spread. With plastic, any bacteria from contaminated food simply sits on the surface of the pallet, allowing it to be easily transferred between food and beverage items.
Once a plastic pallet becomes nicked or scratched, they easily become a host for bacteria to multiply and proliferate.
7. Overall Environmental Impact
As a natural product, wooden pallets have the potential to be recycled once they've reached the end of their life. If a wooden pallet ever becomes too damaged to repair, it can be shredded and used as mulch. Plastic pallets, in particular, cannot be recycled, greatly increasing a business' carbon footprint.
8. Potential Use in International Shipping
Wooden pallets are often the only suitable option if your business transports goods internationally. Current federal code requires the use of appropriately-treated wooden pallets when exporting and importing food and beverage goods from outside the United States.
Using Wooden Pallets for Food & Beverage Shipping
Wooden pallets make it possible to transport food and beverage goods with ease and confidence. If your business is choosing between wooden, plastic and aluminum pallets for your food and beverage shipments, the benefits of wooden pallets within the industry are as clear as they are abundant.
Take advantage of wooden pallets for your food and beverage needs with our special wooden pallet services.

No actual gaming recently. Still reading through 7tv, still planning on painting more this week.
Since I have nothing to say that's worth reading, let me pass along* a couple things that are:
Roebeast's has announced the 2012 Trash Bash. I love this side of gaming, and was considering participating, despite my lack of talent for such things, and my propensity for not completing projects on time. Nonetheless, I will be keeping up with other people's results. Along the same line the Lead Painters' League Season 6 is about to kick off, and they always, always have some paint job to drool over. (Side note: I did just accept a challenge to get me off my duff, so, there's that.)
Rusti with Crossover Miniatures discusses his Kickstarter experience. I have already supported a small handful of Kickstarter projects, and I think it will definitely be a great way to support smaller startups in our little niche hobby.
IceRaptor wrote a great piece titled "Why rules should be written for the casual player." Been bandying it around with the local guys, as it is pretty similar to my own experience. I soured out on Warmachine many moons ago, because I really felt like I couldn't 'keep up' with all the new rules for all the new figures and how they would interact and etc. I fear that Malifaux may eventually go the same route, but so far knowing my own army's strengths and a thumbnail sketch of how a new opponent works has been enough to get me by. Time will tell. Anyways, his article is a great read, I heartily endorse it.
[EDIT: Crimminy, always forget one thing. Dropship Horizon also had a noteworthy piece on compromising our innate gamer desire to write our own worlds by adapting it to use existing lines. I'm as guilty of this urge as anyone, but really, there's nothing wrong with bringing in what others have done and adapting it to our vision.]
* - In my non-gaming life, I do this daily with posts to my Livejournal, covering interesting news links I find that I liked or found noteworthy.

Today's patch notes also come with a lengthy explanation about changes to the Arsha PvP server in light of the game's ongoing balance changes (defense effects are being heavily revised today). "We have decided to change the PvP system in the Arsha server to be the same as those in the other servers," Kakao says. "You will no longer be able to activate Down Guard by pressing Shift while your character is down in the Arsha server. Like in the other servers, debuff will now be applied continuously only up to 2 times." The studio promises "special features suitable for a PvP excusive server at a later date."
Finally, the Western servers are preparing for the arrival of Lahn, the new playable class landing on May 23rd, though you'll be able to pre-create a Lahn of your very own starting next week on May 16th.
"Lahn is a master of martial arts who trained in a dynasty of the far east. Her story begins by becoming a priestess but falls to an evil scheme, which she tragically loses her lover in the battlefield. Grieved by her loss, she realizes that strength is the only way to achieve her ideals. Determined to return to her home one day and protect the ones she love, she embarks on a journey in search of greater power. The upcoming female class uses a new weapon type that is exclusive to her, a stretchable main-hand weapon called the Crescent Pendulum. This is a crescent-moon shaped blade on the end of a long piece of cloth. She throws and swings her weapon with immaculate grace and completes her deadly arsenal with the Noble Sword, a short blade that is her off-hand weapon. Lahn is a very speedy and agile class that utilizes dance-like combat moves. Her Nimbus Stride skill lets her gracefully glide through the air, displaying both elegance and power."
Lahn will bring the game's class total to 16.

The 2018 Mastercard Memorial Cup host Regina Pats made a huge upgrade to their blueline Monday afternoon, acquiring Tampa Bay Lightning defensive prospect Libor Hajek (1998) from the Saskatoon Blades in a blockbuster deal that aids both sides.
Heading the Blades' way is a haul of players that will significantly assist the Blades in years to come with defenceman Dawson Davidson (1998), prospect forward Tristen Robins (2001) and a first-round pick in 2019 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft to the Blades.
Hajek is the big piece in this deal. Drafted by the Lightning in the second round, 37th overall, of the 2016 NHL Draft, Hajek has been a revelation for the Blades' blueline since coming to the team in 2015. He was originally selected by the Blades in the first round, second overall, of the 2015 CHL Import Draft. Since then, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound product of Smrcek, Czech Republic has played in 167 WHL regular season games, recording 77 points (15G-62A). He has one power-play and one game-winning goal.
"We are really excited to add Libor to our club," Pats head coach and general manager John Paddock said. "He is among the best defencemen in our league and will be a big part of our team going forward."
Hajek had high value before heading to the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship, where he finished tied for the scoring lead among defenceman while helping the Czech Republic to a fourth-place finish at the tournament.
Heading the opposite way is Davidson, a 5-foot-11, 181-pound product of Moosomin, Sask. Originally drafted by the Kamloops Blazers in the third round, 58th overall, of the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft. In 207 career WHL games split between Kamloops and Regina, Davidson has 100 points (21G-79A). He also has 10 power-play goals, one short-handed goal and four game-winning goals.
"We really felt the return (for Libor) was too substantial to turn down," Blades general manager Colin Priestner said. "We wanted to make it clear to our team and our fans that we aren't giving up on this season by acquiring a player of Dawson Davidson's status as a guy who can play two years for us and has potential to be a 50-60 point guy from the backend."
Also dealt to the Blades as part of the deal is Robbins, a 5-foot-9, 157-pound product of Brandon, Man. Robbins was selected by the Pats in the fourth round, 76th overall, of the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft. Playing this year with Rink Academy Hockey of the Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL) this season, Robbins has 24 points (11G-13A) in 18 games.
The move adds to Regina's short-term goal of capturing the 2018 Mastercard Memorial Cup, paying a strong price to acquire a defenceman of Hajek's talents. For the Blades, who are contending this year, but slotted into a wild card position, they're giving up one piece of their team, albeit a large one, in exchange for success in coming years.
The Pats are back in action Wednesday, January 10 (7:00 p.m. CST) when they host the Edmonton Oil Kings. The Blades return to the ice Wednesday, January 10 (7:05 p.m. CST) as well, hosting the Medicine Hat Tigers.
The WHL's Trade Deadline is Wednesday, January 10 at 3 p.m. MT.

Republican Nathan Deal is up by 8 percentage points over Roy Barnes - his Democratic rival for governor - in the latest statewide poll.
An InsiderAdvantage Georgia survey released Wednesday found Deal, a former congressman from north Georgia, had 45 percent.
Seeking to regain the job he lost in 2002, Barnes had 37 percent, and Libertarian John Monds had 5 percent. About 13 percent were undecided. The poll's margin of error was plus or minus 5 percent.
The results are at odds with widespread perceptions Deal had lost momentum to Barnes. The two were tied in an InsiderAdvantage advantage poll released Sept. 17.
Go to savannahnow.com/elections to get voter tools, candidate profiles and the latest news.
The new numbers follow almost daily revelations about Deal's family and personal financial problems and a fusillade of Barnes attack ads on TV.
InsiderAdvantage CEO Matt Towery said Barnes has kept the contest close because of questions about Deal's finances and ethics.
"However," Towery added, "it appears that no matter how powerful the story is, that particular issue has hit a brick wall.
"For Barnes to have a chance to win ... he must convince independents and some Republicans that he is the more conservative and reasonable candidate."
He said Barnes' support has slipped among key demographic groups. The poll showed independents favor Deal 46 percent to 19 percent, and Barnes only has 23 percent support among white voters.
The two are about even among women, but men are going overwhelmingly for Deal, according to the survey.
Robert Eisinger, a professor of political science at the Savannah College of Art and Design, said it's too early to read much into the results.
But Deal spokesman Brian Robinson liked the numbers.
"We are always happy to have a lead," Robinson said, "particularly after seven weeks of vicious and untrue attacks.
"We're going to hold the lead, but we also expect polls to fluctuate before Election Day. We're going to fight every day as though we were 5 points behind."
Barnes campaign spokeswoman Anna Ruth Williams had no comment.
The poll also suggested a rout looms in the U.S. Senate race.
Incumbent Republican Johnny Isakson had 61 percent, compared with 29 percent for state Labor Commissioner Mike Thurmond, the Democratic candidate. Chuck Donovan, the Libertarian candidate, had 3 percent, and the remaining 7 percent were undecided. The survey of 412 registered voters who said they'll likely cast ballots Nov. 2 was taken Monday.

Once again, a kiteboarder was faster that a windsurfer. Douglas managed to beat Antoine Albeau with a run of 39.85 knots. Alex Caizergues finished third. It's Rob's third victory in five years.
Rob Douglas remains undefeated in international kiteboarding speed sailing competitions since October 2011. However, his archrival Caizergues still holds the record for the fastest kiteboarding mark ever: 56.62 knots.
In the Women's speed sailing competition, Charlotte Consorti proved she is the one to beat. The French kiteboarder hit an impressive top speed of 34.96 knots to claim the overall title.
Sosh Cup 2015 | Final Results
1. Rob Douglas (USA), 39.85 knots
2. Antoine Albeau (FRA), 38.13 knots
3. Benoît Gaudiot (FRA), 37.82 knots
1. Charlotte Consorti (FRA), 34.96 knots
2. Angély Bouillot (FRA), 34.46 knots

Is Windows 8 a Good Fit for You?
With the release of Microsoft's latest operating system just around the corner, it's a question that many PC users are asking.
But PC users are a diverse group, and that means the answer to this question isn't really one that can be answered with a concrete yes or no. Because everyone's needs are different, some people might be better served by upgrading their operating system than others.
That's why we'll use this post to look at some of the new features that are coming. At the end, you'll be able to answer the question of "Should I upgrade to Windows 8?" and know for certain whether or not the upgrade will be worth it for you.
Windows 8 Has a Lot of New Features, but Do They Fit Your Computer Use?
When it comes to a new version of anything, there are always new features that come with it. The question then becomes one of whether or not those new features are things you'll actually use if you do upgrade.
When it comes to Windows 8, look at some of these more popular features and see whether or not they are things you'll use.
Windows 8 keeps that in mind with its new file history system that makes automatic backups whenever there are changes to your files.
This means that you can easily retrieve previous versions of documents that you keep stored. This is an extremely useful feature to have, but might not be something that very casual PC users take advantage of very often.
This could be good for many business users, but personal users might not find this helpful until more people adopt the system, which could take some time.

I got into a bit of a funk today. I have eaten like crap all week, and not really done any exercise to speak of. Spent too much time in front of the computer working – I mean, I *have* to work, but that doesn't make me feel any better about it.
I so desperately need to get out and feel the fresh air and be revitalized. When my daughter and husband get home, we're going to a local park with a lake, and going to just get outside and BE for a while. I can't wait.
I need to exercise more, I need to eat better, I need to need to need to….so many things. But for now, I'm just looking forward to seeing my little girl, chasing her around and watching her play.
This picture of her dancing at my friend's wedding the other week just makes me smile. And encourages me (more than anything else could) to pick myself up from this stupid chair and get out and DO something. I needed that!

In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan there are 29 crimes that are punishable by death, including non‑violent crimes such as adultery and blasphemy. Blasphemy laws in particular, are used to discipline any citizen considered to have disrespected the local dominant religion. In Pakistan, any individual found to have disrespected Islamic ideology, practices, spaces or people, are at risk of being punished by the state under the Pakistani blasphemy law. These laws are in direct opposition to the internationally protected freedoms of belief, thought and expression and undermine the principles of human rights. What is more, blasphemy laws are found to be used by governments to specifically target and persecute religious and minority communities. Of equal concern, is appears that blasphemy laws are increasingly, and without justification, being used against women.
This was certainly the case for Asia Bibi, a young Christian Pakistani mother imprisoned for seven years and sentenced to death for taking water from a well reserved for Muslims. Even though the validity of these laws has been called into question by the European Union (EU), the EU itself refused to offer Asia Bibi asylum when she was at risk of being killed by the Pakistani fundamentalists. In addition to refusing to help Ms. Bibi, the EU has also continued to provide Pakistan with membership to the advantageous GSP+ program.
In a written question to the European Commission's External Action Service (EEAS) (E-001915/2019) in the spring of this year, French Member of European Parliament (MEP) Aymeric Chauprade of the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy Group raised concerns over Europe's continued disregard for the state of human rights in Pakistan. In his questions MEP Chauprade specifically highlighted citizen's concerns over Pakistan's preferential treatment in the EU's General Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+) program "even though the country is clearly failing to comply with the scheme's requirements" and requested a detailed review of Pakistan's export privileges. He also drew direct attention to the case of Asia Bibi, inquiring "what measures has the EU put in place to encourage Pakistan to stop disproportionally applying blasphemy laws to religious minorities, and to revoke the death penalty for blasphemy crimes?"
In addition to these inquiries, Mr. Chauprade pressed the Commission to describe what steps it is taking to protect religious minorities living under the threat of horrendous persecutions in Pakistan.
On the 17th of June, 2019 Vice-President Mogherini responded to these questions on behalf of the European Commission. In her response Ms. Mogherini emphasised the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), of which Pakistan is a signatory, and restated that adherence to the "provisions on freedom of religion or belief is an important element of the monitoring process under the Special Incentive Arrangement for Sustainable Development and Good Governance (GSP+)."
Her response went on to make note of a number of other agreements of which Pakistan and Europe have engaged in, such as the EU-Pakistan bilateral political contracts, and Pakistan's National Action Plan for Human Rights. She also asserted that the mission of Ján Figel', Special Envoy for the Promotion of Freedom of Religion or Belief outside the EU, in 2017 and 2018 to Pakistan, were important to engage with the Pakistani authorities on promoting the issue of tolerance towards free expression of religion and speech.
Finally, Ms. Mogherini stated that "the rights of religious minorities remain a priority in Pakistan's National Action Plan for Human Rights. Important pieces of legislation such as the Christian Marriage and Divorce Acts are at an advanced stage of adoption. The EU also urges the swift approval and effective implementation of the draft interfaith harmony policy, actions against the misuse of blasphemy laws, as well as the empowering of the National Commission on Minorities."
While Ms Mogerini's claims made on behalf of the European Commission sound promising, the reality and evidence on the ground is quite different. Asia Bibi and her family have fled Pakistan and received asylum in Canada in order to live in safety. For the rest of Pakistan's Christians and other minorities the persecutions remains unabated. There is no time to waste in addressing the abhorrent conditions that non-Muslim Pakistani citizens live under. It will take more than a bi-annual GSP+ report to improve the conditions of individuals living under this repressive regime. It is the EU's responsibility to clearly communicate to Pakistan the unacceptability of these oppressive practices.

Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a full contact combat sport that allows the use of both striking and grappling techniques, both standing and on the ground, including Boxing, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Kickboxing, Taekwondo, Karate, Judo and other styles. The roots of modern mixed martial arts can be traced back to the ancient Olympics where one of the earliest documented systems of codified full range unarmed combat was utilized in the sport of Pankration.
Boxing is a combat sport in which two people engage in a contest of strength, speed, reflexes, endurance, and will by throwing punches with gloved hands against each other.
Boxing is supervised by a referee over a series of one- to three-minute intervals called rounds. The result is decided when an opponent is deemed incapable to continue by a referee, is disqualified for breaking a rule, resigns by throwing in a towel, or is pronounced the winner or loser based on the judges' scorecards at the end of the contest.
Muay Thai is recognised as a foundation for striking in mixed martial arts, and is widely practiced and taught. It is the predominant style used for the stand-up technique in MMA. It originated in Thailand, and is known as the "art of eight limbs" which refers to the use of the legs, knees, elbows and fists. It is a very aggressive and straightforward style.
Karate is a martial art developed in the Ryukyu Islands in what is now Okinawa, Japan. It was developed partially from the indigenous martial arts of Ryukyu Islands (called te, literally "hand"; tii in Okinawan) and from Chinese kenpo. Karate is a striking art using punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes and open hand techniques such as knife-hands, spear-hands,and palm-heel strikes. In some styles, grappling, throws, joint locks, restraints, and vital point strikes are also taught. A karate practitioner is called a karateka.
Kickboxing is a group of martial arts and stand-up combat sports based on kicking and punching, historically developed from Karate, Muay Thai and Western boxing. Kickboxing is practiced for self-defense, general fitness, or as a contact sport.
Japanese kickboxing originates in the 1960s. American kickboxing originates in the 1970s. This approach became increasingly popular since the 1970s, and since the 1990s, kickboxing has contributed to the emergence of mixed martial arts via further hybridization with ground fighting techniques from Jujutsu and Folk wrestling.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a martial art, combat sport, and a self defense system that focuses on grappling and especially ground fighting. The concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend against a bigger, stronger one by using leverage and proper technique, taking the fight to the ground, most notably by applying joint-locks and chokeholds to defeat the other person. BJJ training can be used for sport grappling tournaments (gi and no-gi) and mixed martial arts (MMA) competition or self-defense. Sparring (commonly referred to as "rolling") and live drilling play a major role in training, and a premium is placed on performance.
Amateur Wrestling (including Freestyle, Greco-Roman, and American Folkstyle) gained tremendous respect due to its effectiveness in mixed martial arts competitions. Wrestling is widely studied by mixed martial artists. Wrestling is also credited for conferring an emphasis on conditioning for explosive movement and stamina, both of which are critical in competitive mixed martial arts. It is known for excellent takedowns, particularly against the legs.

Stacey's Track, Serpentine National Park
Location: Atkins Rd, Jarrahdale
Distance: 1.9km loop
Grade: 3
Trail Marker: Blue Triangle with boot markers
Duration: 1 - 2 hours
Cost: $0, free entry
Date Hiked: 7th September 2018
Kml Map File: Please click here.
Stacey's Track is definitely one of the lesser known trails in the Perth Hills but one that many probably walk part of without knowing, as it forms part of the Kitty's Gorge Trail up at the Jarrahdale section within Serpentine National Park. There are a few parking bays at the start but you can also park directly opposite at the Jarrahdale Cemetary.
I get asked all the time what my favourite walk is and to be honest I can't pick one but this walk rates quite highly for me on a personal almost spiritual level. You'll have to read on to find out why.
Details on this walk were/are hard to come by. I stumbled across it when looking for the perfect location to run our Forest Therapy walks years ago. I wanted that deep forest feel and was really excited when I found this one as it offered exactly that and so much more. I had to purchase info on the trail from the Jarrahdale.com website. I actually bought the whole Jarrahdale Tracks pdf, for only $12.
Despite having done it many times, I didn't really have any fantastic photos that I felt were blog worthy so that meant I had to head out there to take some more.....any excuse for a hike right;) You now have the choice of buying the same pdf I did or getting the info including kml file from me:) I'll also be uploading to the Trails WA website shortly.
So as mentioned, parking is available at the start with 3 main bays and then more available directly opposite at the cemetery. I threw my pack on my back, grabbed my camera and began the walk. I do recommend doing the loop in an anti-clockwise direction, as suggested by the markings on the trail, 10 posts with points of interest or simply just directional markers advising where to go. I'll explain them as we walk through. Very quickly I could see lots of beautiful colour with wildflowers and lush green foliage lining the trail. It was a cold wet day however a hint of blue sky appeared as I walked off and I wasn't too worried anyway as the thick canopy of trees actually provide a good amount of shelter from the rain. I knew it meant that the Gooralong Brook would be flowing so something to look forward to.
The thick Jarrah Forest really is a beautiful place to immerse yourself in, literally only metres in and already I felt the stress of a busy week leave my body. With only the sounds of nature I decided to plonk myself on the ground, laid back, closed my eyes and just took it all in.
Simply magic. Forest Therapy at it's finest. The art of simply just being present in nature. My happy place.
ok ok, where were we...ah yes....walking Stacey's Track.
So back to my point before about walking anti-clockwise. Literally less than a hundred metres in is where you will find the number 1 marker. This marker highlighting the 'Magnificent Jarrah Tree', although you will not know that just by going there as there is no info provided. The info is in the Jarrahdale pdf. It would make sense if they did a small plaque or something, I mean it is a very obvious Jarrah Tree but I am sure the post would confuse people into thinking it's something more.
Post marker number 2 highlights the 'Huge Marri Tree' which is burnt but still living, and the post 3 marker is just highlighting that you need to turn left, then right to cross over the forest track.
The trail has been descending down from the start, nothing too steep however some slight erosion and can get a bit slippery so take care.
Once you have walked over the forest track, you will continue descending down towards Gooralong Brook. Marker number 4 is on your left just before and highlights some log seats. It's a nice little spot to stop and do a nature immersion exercise. We often did our meditations here so I stopped to do exactly that. Reminded me of how calming the area is, so glad I dragged myself away from my desk.
A clear mind is a creative mind.
After a beautiful nature meditation I continued on crossing over the bridge and onto the boardwalk that passes the marshy area. Please try and stay on the boardwalk, it's been put there to protect the vegetation underneath. Take a long camera lens and you can still get nice shots of the brook without having to trample all over the riverbed below.
Leaving the brook is where the trail starts to ascend back up slightly and from here you can see there has been quite a bit of growth over the winter as the trail gets quite narrow. This is the first sighting of a yellow 'Stacey's Track' marker, not the official trail marker though.
Now, have you heard of the stories of 'Big Black Cats' seen by locals throughout Western Australia. I had heard of them but thought the sightings had come from down south mainly and one more recently near York. Didn't really believe them....that was until Dave, Sophie and myself decided to venture out late one afternoon and had an encounter. Dave was out in front, Soph in the middle and I was walking behind taking it all in when Soph and I both turned at the same time, a result of a noise and saw a huge panther/jaguar like dog/cat leaping across the brook and along the path down below but towards us. We both freaked and I instantly grabbed Dave and we both stood behind him in fear. By the time we did that it was gone, just disappeared from the trail, no noise just silence. Dave had no idea what we had just seen but knew it was serious as we were both white as a ghost. Now whether you believe me or not that's entirely up to you, peoples general response to these stories are that it's just big cat but this was not just a big cat. It was pretty far away yet was so big it looked pretty close. I don't even think what we saw was actually living, more like a spiritual encounter. Creeped us out for the remainder of that walk so needless to say I have been on edge every-time I have walked this trail since, especially when on my own.
Now that I've spooked you out haha lets continue on with the walk.
Post marker number 5 sits as the trail starts to level out again, this marker highlighting the 'Ancient Grass Tree' on the right, and a beautiful Zamia on the left. They say the Grass Tree aka Balga, only grows 9mm each year so you can imagine how many hundreds of years old this ancient beauty would be. And did you know that the nuts from the Zamia plant were a food source by Indigenous Australians? They did need to be processed a certain way though as very toxic in their natural state as the European explorers found out.
Post marker number 6 is not far along the trail where it opens up to a large granite outcrop overlooking the brook below.
This is a very spiritual area so please treat it with respect. Noongar people have been walking through this area for over 40,000 years in search of of campsites, implements, food and water. In Makuru (June/July) of the Noongar six season calendar, they would leave the coastal plain and head for the forests, sheltering from the wind and the rain. The flowering sheoks, an indication that last years yonga (kangaroos) are abundant and ready to be eaten. Wetch (emu), ducks, nyingarn (Echidna) and karda (goanna) were also hunted.
The Gooralong Brook also provided a permanent water source with djildit (fish), marron, gilgies, water birds, freshwater turtles and frogs.
Bulbs of rushes and sedges were good sources of starch, and soft-leaf freshwater plants were eaten as leaf salads. By moving through areas and eating abundant, seasonal foods, Noongars knew food would be available in subsequent years.
I didn't know anything else about the Aboriginal History associated with the area but I always felt a strong connection, especially at this open granite site. I remember feeling as though it had been an area where the Aboriginal people would have sat and on one particular day decided to sit and just quietly observe the area listening to the wind, the birds and sounds of nature. If you take 5 min out of your hike to just stop and truly listen to nature, you might be surprised with what you hear. I began to hear the sound of clapping sticks, a traditional percussion instrument of all Aboriginal people, providing rhythmic accompaniment for song and dance, generally used in ceremony. Such a beautiful sound, but as I opened my eyes to look around something in front of me caught my eye...this small circle or rocks. They were not there when I sat down and instantly I felt as though I was watching ceremony. A powerful encounter that was the first of many.
The next time we walked that trail was on a guided hike with a group of 15 people, our first 'Forest Therapy' hike on the trail. It was such a lovely hike with a wonderful group who had truly embraced the nature immersion exercises. We enjoyed a meditation and morning tea at the open granite location and continued on with the hike. At the end of the experience one of the ladies approached me as she had something to share with me. She was a spiritual medium and said that whilst we were having our morning tea and meditation at the area, she had witnessed a family of noongar people sitting below, the children playing around, the parents looking over them happily. As we continued on with our walk we were joined by a few male tribal members who followed from behind, watching over us and she felt it was their way of saying we were guarded, that they gave me their blessing to continue sharing this land as I had been. Whoa....goosebump material....made me and a few others well up especially when I had shared with her my ceremonial encounter just weeks before.
Each and every group hike I led after that I received a message in one way or another, often quite simply by the sound of the clapping sticks, which Dave and Sophie even heard the last time.
Getting back to this day, I did spend some time enjoying the solitude and felt the presence of others around me. Would love to hear about your visit if you go and are spiritually minded like me:)
Post marker number 7 represents the second bridge you walk to cross Gooralong Brook but be sure to check out the remnants of the old flour mill weir upstream before you do. This particular photo blurred so unfortunately I don't have a pic but you'll know it when you see it.
Also once you have crossed the loop trail takes you left however you can briefly turn right and walk a few metres to a small swimming hold, obviously only full when the brook is but a nice little spot to sit and ponder your thoughts.
From the bridge you begins to ascend up the trail where you come to an intersection interlocking with the start of the Kitty's Gorge Trail, the Trail Head Sign close by. This little loop would be a great additional extra for those keen to give the 14km Kitty's Gorge Trail a go.
Post marker 8 highlights the direction you need to continue to complete the loop.
From here it's a gradual ascent up to the next post marker.
Post marker number 9, definitely a stand out of the walk, 'a fallen giant'. Walk around or under and admire the grandness of this beauty.
It's not far to the end of the walk from here, post marker 9 symbolizing the grove of Bull Banksia, the last of the forest you walk through before you reach the finish. A lovely walk as always with plenty to see, feel and hear.
Now is the best time to be visiting with Gooralong Brook flowing quite nicely. Hopefully this post inspires you to visit and if so, we would love to hear your thoughts on the trail. Please feel free to tag us in your adventures.
We acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we walk, the traditional lands of the Whadjuk people & wish to acknowledge them as traditional owners paying respects to their Elders, past & present, and Elders from other communities who may be here today.

Atkins lovers rejoice. There's a new Wurst in town, and it's more than a little spicy — it's abso-effin-lutely giant. As in, 7,500 pounds giant. Now that's a whole lot of meat.
Before you go breaking out the sexual innuendos, you should know this concoction was made for the 31st Kobasicijada festival in Turija, Serbia, an annual gathering that celebrates over-sized sausages. In other words? It's go big or go home for Turija residents. Each year they try and outdo themselves by extending the length of sausage they create.
Cooks made 2,031 meter-long sausage 31st Sausage Festival Turija 100 kilometers (60 miles) northwest of Belgrade pic.twitter.com/wKGd2rh1Pn
— Ketan Tirodkar (@TIME_Journalist) March 1, 2015
We, however, had plenty of questions about this thing. Like, is it the longest sausage in the world? As it turns out, no.
That record is currently held by a group of Romanians, who created a 205,873 foot sausage last December. As for the largest sausage, that was created back in 2009 by some folks from Turkey.
So what did go into this snake-like food item from Serbia?
Well, 7,562 pounds of meat, to start. Seasoned from a whopping 28 pigs.
When we say seasoned, we mean seasoned. The sausage contained 132 pounds of salt, 57 pounds of paprika and 22 pounds of black pepper and garlic.
As for the length? This guy came in at 6,663 feet. That's the equivalent of more than 220 of the world's largest snakes, the green anaconda (which can grow up to 30 feet).
No word on whether festival goers who bought a chunk of the fun paired it with a bun.
But at 2,000 metres, we're sure they had all the fun they could handle.

"Hi Joe,
Just reporting in to say the MIMO antenna solution you sold me has been working superbly over the past month or so! I bought a telescoping antenna with a caravan frame mount to hold it up.
I'm currently connected to an Optus tower 38Km away with a strong 4G signal on band 28, 30Mb/s down 20Mb/s up. Couldn't be happier!
Thanks mate!
– John Park
Many thanks for your reply; it enabled me to work out how to proceed. I have placed an order for what I need.
I must congratulate you on your website. I find it very user friendly and just so full of information in a clear and easy to follow sequence.
Thanks again for your help,
– Ian Harris
"Hi Joe
Today I had the antennas you recommended installed.
The signal strength now allows me to access Netflix without problems even in times of high internet demand.
Thanks once again for your patient assistance and expert advice, and prompt delivery service.

"Hi Joe,
I finally got everything sorted. The modem was put in a sealed plastic box on the roof of my establishment. The performance is exceptional on Optus LTE. I can consistently get 30 Mbps download / 10 Mbps upload (with QoS for real-time applications) 30 KM from the tower with 200 GB per month. Latency is about 17 ms to Brisbane.
The burstable rate is actually much higher, but to ensure QoS works properly, my router limits the speed.
Cheers for you help!
Kind regards,
– Hayden Spence
"Hi Joe
Just wanted to say thanks for the antenna kit, it arrived fast and does what it says it should! It came with all the bits and pieces for the install and now I can get > 20 Mb/s from less than 10 Mb/s before; all in all a great service. Cheers Chris"
– Chris Kirk
"Thanks for all your help with selecting the correct antenna for our modem.
I thought at first that the antenna was not performing, but Joe helped me to work out that the modem was connecting to a different tower when we used the internal antennas. When I connected the external antenna, the modem got more signal but the service was slower. At first I blamed the antenna and was thinking I had been ripped off. Joe was very patient with me (even tho I was kind of rude to him at first) and provided the research and info needed to get the antenna aligned to the tower with the faster service. Thank you so much for the excellent service.

"Hey guys,
I've never sent a message to a seller before about their product but when it comes to this aerial/coax package I have to let you know how well it worked for me in the hope you'll use it as a testimonial for other frustrated mobile broadband customers....
I've consistently had around the 0.50 Mbps mark with my broadband modem, regular dropouts and if it's raining and windy forget it.....no signal at all.
Purchased the aerial and a new $49 modem with an aerial input. Hooked it all up using the same SIM card/provider and after 30 minutes playing with the direction of the aerial I now have full bars and am getting 10-15 Mbps......unbelievable!!!!!!!!! I was doubtful what difference this aerial would make when I bought it but was so frustrated I was willing to try anything.
You have changed my life!!!!
I'm located in central vic, amongst hills, even Telstra struggles to give me a consistent signal in the house.....my Optus broadband is now perfect (on edge of coverage map)"
– jground2010
"Hi Joe, Thanks again. I installed these antennas on the weekend and what a difference it has made. My Cel-fi Pro now sees 4 bars and not 1 and the second antenna is plugged into my Telstra USB 4GX modem and I've doubled the download speed. Thanks again for your help.
"Hi Joe
We have just got one of your 11 dbi antennas with LMR400 cable, we have been using a 600mm black whip antenna for 5 years with normal coax and noticed our signal strength had dropped to medium and our mbs was sitting on .8 - 1.1mb download and 1-1.6mb upload, now with the new antenna, our signal is sitting on high and our download is 4 - 6 mb, and upload 2.3 -2.8 mb, such an amazing difference, also our drop out rate has significantly decreased, so I just want to say thanks for your antenna and your well informed web site that helped me chose the right one.

"After getting a suitable mast fabricated I finally have the mobile repeater system you specified up and running.
I wish to thank you so very much for your help and guidance during this process - we have gone from 2 bars 3G and zero bars 4G to 4-5 bars 3G and 3-4 bars 4G!
A huge side benefit is that we can achieve 16 Mb/s Download and 15Mb/s Upload speeds when we use the mobile as a personal hotspot.
At present all we can achieve (at best) using broadband via the landline is less than 2 Mb/s Download and 0.36 Mb/s Upload speeds! We are told we can't get NBN for 2 1/2 years because we are scheduled to get fibre to the property… I would like to meet the idiot who made up that rule! 3 doors up have NBN but we are told to wait?
I know with the mast in place we can get NBN from Mapleton as we can get 5 bars 3G from the Telstra tower there with your system - the NBN tower is 5 times as high; however Montville also gave us 4G at a slight sacrifice in signal strength on the 3G.
Once again thank you so much for help and guidance.
Ian Wagner"

About Last Night: Milk Gallery's Civil War Flashback For Soul-Lit
Last night, we partied like it was 1865— literally. With the help of Boo-Hooray, Milk Gallery took a trip back to the days of the Civil War and celebrated the unique time period in American History where the art of photography advanced as the Civil War unraveled. Soul-Lit's opening could not come at a more pertinent time, where issues of race relations and confederate iconography are daily topics of discussion.
The exhibit showcases the work of America's pioneering and revolutionary photographers Mathew Brady and Alexander Gardner, who captured the first images of war, as well as the first portraits of iconic figures like Brady himself, (could it be the first selfie in existence?) alongside Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee and Abe Lincoln. But, let's not forget to mention the soldiers who lost their lives in the war, and are only kept in memory by their Cartes de Visite, which curator Johan Kugelberg says are the Instagrams of their times. The images, which look like mini-poloraids, are keepsake portraits of young men who went off to war– some of which would be "the only trace of people that perished in the war," as Kugelberg explains. In addition to the poignant photos on display, the exhibit also presented diaries, lockets and game boards plastered with 19th century imagery.
A significant time in America for both photography and human rights, the Civil War was the first war to be documented on film, allowing the public take a glance at the war's not so picture-perfect realities and finally participate both visually and politically with the violent ongoings of war.
Kugelberg told us, "Any historical artifacts that survive, we should be grateful for. History is not only what happened, it's also what survived. What we see in this room is how for the first time photography actually documented a major historic event and that is because of the technological progress of photography from the 1820s onwards. The purpose of this show is the human face of war and that we're not that different. 150 years is a long time, but it also really isn't. That's the political act of the show and one of the very powerful aspects of photography as an art form is the immediacy of it. I think now-a-days when photography is hyper-ephermal, because nobody cares about the snapchat from half an hour ago or the instagram post from 3 months ago, we can see how the deterioration of how we preserve imagery is still in effect– even though these images survived because they were kept as treasures."
Unlike other Milk Gallery events, the music was kept to a minimum allowing both art lovers and history enthusiasts to explore the exhibit uninterrupted. The youthful crowd also painted an interesting picture by providing a striking contrast of snap backs and high tops against the grainy shots of soldiers in double breasted coats and muskets in hand that were hanging across the walls.
In an era where we can capture every bit of our lives instantaneously, an exhibit like this helps us appreciate the art of photography, an art that once required heavy equipment and endless patience. Last night made it clear that there's no time like the present to celebrate the past.
Check out Soul-Lit Shadows: Masterpieces of Civil War Photography at Milk Gallery from July 22nd to August 21st.

K-9 Officer Dies After Being Left In Patrol Car
A police K-9 has died after being left in a patrol car for several hours, according to authorities in Georgia.
The Cherokee County Marshal's Office and the Cherokee Sheriff's Office were called out to the home of Cherokee County School police Lt. Daniel Peabody Friday after getting a call that the police dog had died.
According to investigators, the officer said he arrived home around 4:15 p.m. and left the K-9 inside the car with the engine turned off while he went inside his home to help his wife deal with another dog.
The 4-year-old Belgain Malinois named Inka was trapped in the back of the patrol car until around 7 p.m. when the officer realized that he had forgotten to retrieve the animal after he dealt with the other situation. Unfortunately, it was too late and the officer had discovered that the dog had passed away.
Temperatures outside had reached the 90's that day and inside the car, it was much warmer.
The squad car that Peabody used that day was not one of the department's K-9 vehicles, according to the Marshal's Office. Peabody let another officer use his K-9 squad care and the vehicle he was using didn't have any alarms or a kennel.
"Peabody was very distraught, very despondent over it, naturally, even to the point where he was transported to the hospital last night," Cherokee County Marshal's Office Chief Ron Hunton said.
A Marshal's Office spokesman says criminal charges are possible in this case, but explained the department's investigation is not complete.
