SOUTH JERSEY – The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) is encouraging residents to follow the CDC's recently updated recommendation that Pfizer recipients who have completed their initial COVID-19 vaccine series get a booster shot at five months instead of six months, expanding protection against COVID-19 to more people sooner.
"With cases rising throughout the state, vaccines are our most potent weapons against this formidable virus and its variants, particularly the highly transmissible Omicron variant," Health Commissioner Judith Persichilli said in a press release from the department. "We all want the best protections for ourselves and especially our children, and vaccines and boosters are key to keeping us safer."
The CDC also recommended that moderately or severely immunocompromised children ages 5 to 11 be able to receive a third dose 28 days after their second shot, which will help strengthen protections for this vulnerable population. Eligibility for these groups is effective immediately, according to the department.
"Children ages 5 to 11 years who are moderately to severely immunocompromised can now receive a third dose of the Pfizer vaccine," Dr. Margaret Fisher, a pediatrician and special advisor to Commissioner Persichilli, said in the press release. "This includes children with inherited immunodeficiencies, some children undergoing cancer chemotherapy, children who have received organ transplants and are undergoing immunosuppressive therapy as well as other children who require corticosteroids or immune modulating biologics. Parents should speak with their pediatricians or other healthcare providers to see if their child qualifies for this third dose."
The Pfizer vaccine is authorized for boosters in individuals ages 16 and up and is currently the only vaccine authorized and recommended for children ages 5-11.
According to the NJ Department of Health, currently, 6.3 million New Jersey residents are fully vaccinated and 44.7 percent of potentially eligible New Jersey residents have completed booster doses. Nearly 2.3 million New Jersey residents have completed booster doses in New Jersey, in other states, or through federal programs while more than 2.8 million residents who are potentially eligible have yet to receive their booster doses.
The NJDOH is encouraging those who have yet to get the vaccine to do so right away.
"Individuals who have yet to be vaccinated are strongly encouraged to get their first dose today to protect themselves, their families, and their community, and talk to their doctor or healthcare provider if they have any questions," a statement from the NJDOH stated. "If you are eligible for a booster dose, do not delay and get it today."
There are approximately 2,000 vaccination sites in New Jersey. Visit covid19.nj.gov/finder to locate a vaccination site or if you need help finding an appointment, call the state's Vaccine Call Center at 1-855-568-0545.

Every home needs flooring. Without flooring the home is incomplete. The flooring plays a vital role in enhancing the charm of the home. Experts say that if you want to change the look of the home, change your floor. Changing the floor is the easiest way to provide a new appearance to the home. To be honest, the selection of the floor is not an easy task. The wrong floor can double your expenses and make people frustrated. Because flooring is not a cheap process so that the majority can not afford it twice. So, everyone should choose the vinyl floor after considering some factors. First of all, you can consider your lifestyle. Determine what is your budget? After this, if you have children then look for those flooring which is easy to maintain. If you have pets then try to purchase those flooring that does not attract hair, allergy and dirt. Make sure the flooring which you are going to install will look well with the overall decor of the interior. Below! Some of the most popular flooring options to which you can take into account.
- Hardwood Flooring
Ohh hardwood! The most popular type of flooring. Hardwood floors are seen in many resorts, restaurants, homes and offices because of the way they attract the people. If you are looking for something natural and aesthetic flooring you can go with hardwood flooring. They are visually appealing and they will increase the class and value of the home. The resale value of the property can be increased with hardwood flooring. Going with the hardwood floor will be an expensive approach for some people. Make sure you have a good budget. Those who want cheap flooring can ignore hardwood flooring. These floors are not ideal for the areas where there is high humidity.
- Engineered Wood Flooring
Looking for wood flooring but can not afford hardwood flooring? Why need to worry when we have engineered wood flooring. There are a total three layers in this flooring. The upper layer consists of real wood and the lower two layers consist of plywood. At low price, you can give the natural touch and classical appeal to the home. They are more resistant to moisture and you can even install this flooring in the basement. Engineered wood flooring can be refinished 1 to 3 times. The scratches and dents are the enemies of this flooring.
- Ceramic Tiles
Ceramic tiles are durable and tough flooring. These tiles come in a variety of shapes, patterns and colors, due to which they can fit well in any kind of decor. They are resistant to stain, water and scratches which provide more ease in the cleaning process. Ceramic tiles are best for the kitchen, laundry room, basement and washroom. They are hard and one does not feel softness while walking on them. In winter, it is difficult to barefoot walk on them because they are too cold.
- Vinyl Flooring
The softness which you are looking at above floorings, you can get from vinyl flooring. This flooring is not as hard as above floorings, but it is long-lasting and stands against daily wears and tears. A lot of colors and patterns are available in vinyl flooring. The life of vinyl flooring is long and it can be installed in the high traffic area. The drawback of vinyl floorings sheets is that they can not be repaired but itf tiles are installed then they can be replaced.
- Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is a good alternative to wood flooring. Although, it is not a real wood flooring but it looks like wood flooring. Laminate flooring comes in tiles and sheets. As compared to wood flooring, laminate flooring is more resistant to scratches, stains and scuffing. It can be less cost-effective because it can not refinish. When it comes to price, it is not expensive.
- Cork Flooring
If you want to install unique water-resistant flooring then you can go with cork flooring. Of course, cork is a sensible choice for the bathrooms. The main benefit of this flooring is that it is water-proof and slip-resistant which makes them the perfect options for the wet areas. Cork flooring can be installed in the outdoor of the home as well. The remarkable resilience of cork contributes to its durability.

ABC Health Care, a residential facility in Harrisonville for adults with mental illnesses and mild behavioral disorders, is closing due to space limitations and health considerations created by the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a press release Monday.
All 50 of its current residents will be located to the Riverbend Heights Health & Rehabilitation Center in Lexington beginning July 21. The transfer of residents is expected to be completed by the end of July, at which time ABC Health will close its doors and cease operations.
"We feel it is necessary to move our current residents to another location that offers significantly more room for social distancing and other practices that can better protect their health and safety," said Craig Workman, spokesperson for ABC Health Care. "There have been no reports of coronavirus among any of our residents or staff to date. Instead, we are doing this out of an abundance of caution. We are already operating at 100 percent capacity and have no room to expand and create a safer environment."
Workman said Riverbend Heights currently offers skilled nursing and rehabilitation services to 72 residents and is licensed for 154 beds. The facility will begin offering a full range of mental health services to support the new residents coming from ABC Health Care.
"We are saddened at having to close ABC Health," Workman said. "We take pride in our long history of providing quality and compassionate care to hundreds of residents and their families over the years. Our current residents are excited at the prospect of moving to a larger facility and making new friends."
Workman said ABC Health Care is working to find new employment opportunities for its staff at other residential facilities in the Harrisonville area. Future plans for property, located at 307 E. South St. are not known at this time.
ABC Health is one of 16 residential nursing and rehabilitation facilities across Missouri managed by REACH, LTC. Riverbend Heights is also managed by REACH.

Posted on April 29, 2021 by Robert B. McKinstry, Jr.
The Biden Administration has pledged to put the nation on track to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and simultaneously to promote environmental justice. Both goals are achievable and, indeed, are complementary. Their complementary nature is exemplified by the two existing North American regional programs for capping and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Those programs, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) governing the power sector and the California-Quebec program, have reduced GHG emissions while creating job growth and funding alternative energy programs to assist homeowners. Both promote environmental justice.
Michael Gerrard and John Dernbach have identified over a thousand policy instruments that can be used to achieve deep decarbonization across the economy. For every sector they examine, they identify the key tool as putting a price on carbon through auction-cap-and-trade programs. The Biden Administration has yet to reveal its regulatory strategy for achieving deep decarbonization. However, as demonstrated in articles published in response to the Paris Agreement, EPA could use its international air pollution authority under section 115 of the Clean Air Act to initiate a call for state implementation plans that employ GHG cap-and-trade programs similar to the California program. EPA has used cap-and-trade effectively to address interstate transport of pollution and the Supreme Court affirmed EPA's use of cost as a basis for interstate allocation of responsibility. EPA v. EME Homer City Generation.
Given the critical need to reduce GHG emissions quickly, the importance of existing legal authorization for the auction-cap-and-trade tool, and its successful use in existing regional programs, it is important that its use not be derailed by false claims. Such claims underlay criticism of the existing RGGI and California programs, based on concerns regarding their perceived impact on environmental justice (EJ) communities. I examine these claims in a recent paper published by ABA SEER, which argues that these claims are both factually and legally unsupported and that an auction with trading represents the method that best effectuates the goal of distributive justice.
My ABA article debunks claims that the existing programs disserve environmental justice by (1) increasing energy prices with a disproportionate impact on disadvantaged populations, and (2) causing hot spots that will concentrate air pollutants harming health in disadvantaged neighborhoods. The article demonstrates that criticism based on costs lacks empirical support and is inconsistent with utility pricing law. Further, auction revenues from existing programs has been directed to benefit low-income communities.
The second line of attack suggesting that a GHG auction-cap-trade-and-invest program will result in concentration of health-harming pollutants in low-income neighborhoods has even less support in law and fact but has perhaps the widest following.
Existing auction-cap-trade-and-invest programs have the principal and critically important goal of substantially reducing GHG emissions to address climate disruption, which has disproportionately high adverse impacts upon disadvantaged populations worldwide. These programs impose emissions reduction requirements above and beyond the requirements to comply with health-based standards for criteria and hazardous air pollutants. Pricing GHG emissions is one of the most effective tools to reduce those emissions. Carbon dioxide dissipates rapidly in the atmosphere and will not, itself, cause hot spots that can lead to adverse health impacts. To the extent that the GHG programs succeed in discouraging continued operation of fossil fuel fired power plants and other combustion sources, these programs also reduce emissions of other harmful pollutants. These pollutants include acid gases and acid gas aerosols, fine particulates, and metals, all of which can have significant acute and chronic adverse health impacts. For example, current modeling shows that the expansion of the RGGI program to Pennsylvania will reduce emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants and cause the closure of many fossil-fired power plants, which can be located in low-income areas.
In fact, auction-cap-and-trade programs with descending caps will most likely reduce hot spots. To cause a hot spot, one would need to show that the programs will cause increases in emissions of these other pollutants or building of new plants that affect low-income neighborhoods. Neither is likely, since the worst polluting plants will shut down and, even if new plants are built, they will be subject to more stringent new source emissions standards under the Clean Air Act's New Source Review provisions. Further, the inclusion of other sectors, such as transportation, in the California program will favor low emission or electric vehicles, which will have disproportionately high beneficial impacts on poorer communities that border highways.
Moreover, the fact that a power plant or other major emitting plant may be located in a disadvantaged area does not mean that its emissions are felt there. Current air pollution control regulations that base air permit emissions limitations on local air quality impacts require that those limits not exceed health-based National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). This results in construction of tall stacks that carry pollutants miles away from the source rather than affecting the neighborhoods near the source. For example, in the Cross State Air Pollution Rule modeling, EPA determined that emissions from sources in Texas would affect air quality in places as far away as Michigan and Pittsburgh.
The existing empirical evidence strongly suggests that GHG auction-cap-trade-and-invest programs do not result in hot spots of pollutants having adverse health impacts. The California Air Resources Board has reviewed the papers cited as evidence and found the claims unsupported and, in fact, inconsistent with the literature. In fact, a 2020 study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that "while the EJ gap was widening prior to 2013 [when the California program was initiated], it has since fallen by 21-30% across pollutants due to the policy." Indeed, most of the significant "cancer alleys" in the United States occur in states that do not participate in GHG trading programs. For example, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and West Virginia include these concentrations of adverse health impacts and do not participate in the existing GHG trading programs.
If emissions of pollutants that adversely affect health could be concentrated as a result of GHG cap-and-trade resulting in hot spots, that effect (for which there is no supporting evidence) should be addressed by tightening the NAAQS or other regulations governing conventional and hazardous air pollutants under the sections of the Clean Air Act governing those pollutants. That effect should not be used as an argument against an effective regulatory mechanism to reduce GHG emissions.
If an enforceable descended regulatory cap is established, distribution of allowances by way of an auction with a reserve price represents the regulatory methodology most consistent with principles of distributive justice. Other methodologies, such as permits, award permission to emit that is not open to all and usually fail to capture the cost of the future damages caused by the emissions.

A recent AOL Fanhouse report by NBA columnist Sam Amick paints the Rockets as waiting on pieces to fall into place for a possible trade for Kings center DeMarcus Cousins, who the Rockets reportedly wanted to trade up for in the NBA Draft last year. Like most teams, he also points out that the Rockets would like to deal for Nuggets SF Carmelo Anthony as well. They haven't given up their dreams on that deal yet, either.
The Rockets, who remain engaged and hopeful on the Carmelo Anthony sweepstakes front, are on the market for a young power forward and sources say they admire Cousins' talent.
While there is no known progress in the Kings' reported — and longtime — pursuit of Rockets point guard Aaron Brooks, sources say Cousins isn't the only Kings big man coveted by the Rockets. Despite signing forward Luis Scola to a five-year, $47 million deal last summer, Houston has significant interest in bringing back free-agent-to-be forward Carl Landry. The fourth-year player was traded to Sacramento in February in the three-team deal that sent Kevin Martin to Houston and Tracy McGrady to New York.
As for Anthony, the Rockets are among the many teams whose options — and thus, their chances at landing Denver's star small forward — expand on Dec. 15. That's the first date on which free agents who signed last summer (e.g. Scola for Houston) can be traded.
Cousins remains an attractive target in my eyes, particularly since the Rockets this year have been pretty bad thus far and it might take a bit of a rebuilding effort for them to get anywhere. On the other hand: why would Carmelo Anthony re-sign here after seeing how this team has played recently? It makes sense for the Rockets to want a star like Anthony, but I can't see him committing to an extension for a sub-.500 team unless it's his only option. And clearly, it won't be.

[This article may also be read on our Facebook page]
AN open letter has been sent to YesCymru asking the organization to declare parity of support for all Indy parties at the election.
The letter has been sent to YesCymru chair Siôn Jobbins by Gwlad leader, Gwyn Wigley Evans, with a request that its contents be discussed by YesCymru's central committee.
In his letter, Mr Evans says the civic, non-partisan movement should take a pro-active role in raising awareness about the Indy choices presented before the voters next month.
And that a pre-election statement to that end to its 18,000 + supporters should now be considered.
YesCymru are asked to inform all their members that there are 4 pro-independence parties standing at the election (Plaid, Gwlad, Propel and Greens) and that they should be made aware of that fact.
'YesCymru should declare that they will not be supporting any particular party, but that they hope all 4 parties can succeed in their own way' says Mr Evans.
'They should urge their members to undertake their own individual research into these 4 parties before deciding who to vote for.'
The letter also asks the organization to draw their members' attention to the second vote system, and how that can be used to elect more independence-supporting candidates into the Senedd.
'Perhaps YC's very effective memes and graphics team can be used productively in this respect.'
The statement should also reiterate that Independence, and Independence alone is YesCymru's sole task in life.
At present there is a twitter storm engulfing YesCymru concerning a suspension and investigation, and fears that various elements are now starting to wrestle for power within the organization
Perhaps a 'Team Cymru' statement before the election would be a way to wrestle back control and re-direct people's attention back to the main task in hand.

Development of the operating hours counters

Our practical tip: Documentation
FAQ – frequently asked questions about operating hours counter modules
What was the operating hours counter module?
To record the operating hours, the counter modules not only use switching on and off processes, but also values such as revolutions, vibrations or linear movements. The latter are always converted into an electrical signal. The incoming pulses are set in relation to the internal time base of the counter. This information is required in many technical areas in order to comply with maximum permissible operating times as well as maintenance and test intervals for machines and systems.
Many operating hours counters are multifunctional: You can record and display other time-based values such as speed or frequency. To do this, some devices must be opened and set to the respective task with so-called dip switches.
Operating hours counter modules are mainly intended for use in industrial environments. Therefore, the visible front side has a guaranteed protection class, while the entire module has a different protection class. Operating hours are sometimes counted as "invisible", for example in a car that issues a service note on the instrument panel at the required time.
What are the operating hours?
Equipment of any kind is subject to wear and tear during operation, which in many cases has safety-relevant aspects. The duration of a technical facility is relevant for a wide range of industrial and private sectors. The general term reliability describes the probability that a system will operate without error for a certain period of time under defined conditions. This time must be recorded.
In order to counter the hazards of component failure, times are defined for certain processes and devices during which maintenance work must be carried out or components must be renewed. Examples of this are the main examination of cars, the testing of hoists, pressure vessels or elevators, and the maintenance of aircraft and heating systems.
For this purpose, operating hours counters are used that record the actual time used from the start of use of a technical device.
Another point of view is that for technical systems that are linked to operating and maintenance periods, the long-term costs for maintenance, maintenance and new purchases can be calculated very accurately by recording operating hours.
These measuring instruments cannot take into account whether a system is used for its intended purpose, whether performance parameters, permissible running times or maintenance intervals are observed or exceeded. This is always the responsibility of the operator or user.
Development of the operating hours counters
Precise detection with roller counter due to high shock resistance
The need to maintain certain operating and maintenance cycles on technical equipment was recognized early on. Older hour meters used conventional clocks that were mechanically unlocked and stopped to determine the useful life.
On aircraft, a sensor on the front edge of the wing was used to start or stop the count over the over/under pressure that occurred there.
With the development of electromechanical counters, it was possible to trigger counting processes by means of electrical pulses. For this purpose, mechanical counters were "upgraded" with uniformly running motors or with electromagnets.
Other historical designs of operating-hour meters used a capillary in which a drop of mercury moved to brought in end contacts.
What operating hours counter modules are available at Conrad?
Operating hours meter modules of different brands can be found in our shop in the field of built-in measuring instruments.
In technical terms, the counters are distinguished by:
- Protection class: Covers the range from IP40 to IP54 for the entire device
- Reset: Method of restoring the original state of the counter module: Electrical, manual, combined. Some operating hours counters cannot be reset.
On the respective product pages you will find operating instructions for download.
Practical advice
Despite intelligent measuring technology – also for operating hours – a written documentation on commissioning and breaks should be kept about technical systems. High-quality counting technology has data loggers with which such values can be stored by means of computer technology. For certain technical areas, such documentation obligations may be required by law.
FAQ – frequently asked questions about operating hours counter modules
What was important when dealing with the counter modules?
Observe the manufacturer's connection instructions. Certain cables that comply with the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) guidelines may be recommended. You can also obtain such cables from us, for example suitable data cables. The signal lines should not exceed a total length of 30 meters.
Handling the devices requires qualified personnel who are familiar with the installation, commissioning and operation of these counter modules, especially when connecting further controlled components to the low-voltage power supply.
In the event of any visible damage or malfunction, immediately discontinue use and replace the device.
Digital panel-mounted measuring devices can be recycled as electronic waste in accordance with the legal regulations. If the devices have a lithium battery for the internal memory, it must not be burned or exposed to a temperature range below -20 or above +70 degrees Celsius. They must be disposed of separately from electronic waste.
Only use undamaged batteries and keep the battery compartments and their closures clean and smooth. These small cells should always be used with tools to avoid touching them with your fingers. When the batteries run out, a measuring device must not be used any longer.
How do errors in digital panel-mounted measuring devices become apparent?
- No indication on the display due to a defective measuring device, missing supply voltage or missing measuring pulse of the operating time to be measured.
- Poorly readable display due to incorrectly set contrast regulator.

Giving new life to Nepali music (and musicians)
Imagine listening to the late music maestro Narayan Gopal's recordings on high quality stereo vinyl. The sound of the yesteryears captured and reproduced in the most primitive of the formats where the whole 'analogness' of the music is preserved. Now imagine not having to scrounge through other people's collections or antic shops to buy them. Instead, you could have them with the click of a button or find them at a convenient spot near you. That's exactly the intent of the Wild Yak Records—an initiative of three friends who connected with each other through their common love for vinyl and music. Sushil Koirala, Kiran Byanjankar and Neeraj Prasad Gorkhaly are the men behind the Wild Yak Records, its inception made possible by their common love. They are spread across the globe—Koirala is a public health professional based in Bangkok, Byanjankar is a restaurateur in Chicago, and Gorkhaly is a scientific policy advisor in Washington DC. What also brings these men, all in their early 40s, together is their common root as the rebellious "thrash metal" generation of Kathmandu in the early 90s.
Kiran Byanjankar
The seeds of the WYR were planted when Koirala found an entry of a Narayan Gopal record in an online vinyl marketplace a few years ago. He sent an email to the owner asking if he wanted to sell the record. "You will probably have to dig it from my grave because I am going take it with me," was the reply he got. So he thought, "What if I could produce it myself?" That is why he first made contact with Gorkhaly.
Koirala then took up the task of digging through information in Kathmandu for the analog media and the rights for Narayan Gopal's music. Finally, he got in touch with Music Nepal, which owned the rights, sourced the tape, and signed a license agreement.
During the search, Koirala and Gorkhaly were both surprised with the neglect of the original analog source of Nepali timeless classics. They then decided to take it a bit further and continue looking for the media and preserve it. Now all that they needed was a "co-conspirator" for their company. "The funny thing was, we needed to find an investor for a project that is likely to lose money," Koirala says. Gorkhaly then mentioned his Chicago-based friend, with a tagline that "there is someone I know who would do anything for Nepali music", and that's how they found Kiran. After many hours of Facetime and after discovering their mutual passion for Nepali music, the trio eventually established the WYR in Chicago in 2018. The company is now legally registered in Nepal.
While the WYR was started to find, remaster and preserve classic Nepali music in analogue format and fund future projects via sale of vinyl records, the team discovered a gut-wrenching truth about the state of Nepali music. "With the growth of internet, musicians get a lot for exposure and an inexpensive platform to share music. But we also learned that it is impossible to monetize [earn profits] from platforms like YouTube, streaming services and sale of music for the vast majority of them," Koirala says. "The online systems are designed in a way so as to favor big companies and big artists."
The WYR then thought of a platform to support the sale of their music, in what would be a "fair-share" approach for the Nepali market. Yakspin.com will make it easier for music fans to support the musicians by directly buying their music. It will also allow musicians to make money so that they can focus on creating more quality music and continue to entertain us all. The WYR is currently working with local partners to create online payment gateways so that Nepalis can pay from their phones and purchase music right from their homes. The fully digital online marketplace will most likely be launched by September-end.
Sushil Koirala
The WYR's goal is to be self-sustaining after some initial investments by the owners. Again, the priority is not making money but helping Nepali musicians and saving our classic music.
Apart from making vinyl records and creating a platform for Nepali musicians to sell their music, the WYR is also producing music for new and upcoming artists. As co-owners of the company, their preferred choice is to produce what their ears like—namely metal, rock, punk, jazz and funk albums. Not that they will not produce other kinds of music; it's just that they want to maintain the right balance and see no point of working on albums they do not enjoy themselves. They also have a soft spot for original Nepali folk music.
(The first batch of a limited 300-copy records of Narayan Gopal will be ready for shipment on December 5, the Narayan Gopal Remembrance Day. It will be available for pre-sale and will be shipped globally through the US postal system) .

Abstract: David Blackwell introduced in 1956 the problem of set-approachability in repeated games with vector payoffs, along with geometric approachability conditions and corresponding strategies that rely on computing "steering directions" as projections from the current average-payoff vector to the target set. An alternative framework for generating these steering directions has recently been proposed, which relies on the modern theory of no-regret algorithms and online convex optimization, along with some basic relations from convex analysis. In this talk we will describe this general framework, derive some concrete algorithms along with their performance, and finally explore some useful relations to Blackwell's original algorithm. The required background on approachability and on Online Convex Optimization will be provided as well.

Before the actual question is posed, Patrick Pouillard, who teaches drawing at the Ecole des Arts in Sint-Gillis, briefly elaborates on the difference between a school and an academy. He shares what the notion of freedom of the artist means for him, and is questioned about the comparative freedom of the artist who draws and the model who is drawn. Students are expected to come up with ways to express themselves, as part of the learning process. He considers the relationship between the artist's body and the model's to be dynamic. He views the term 'model' as expedient, and he adds that a specific language for art does not exist, and the phase of representation is behind us.

Aron Johannsson wants to play in MLS one day. And not in the "it'd be fun to close out my career back in the States" kind of way. He wants to sign up soon.
"Most definitely," Johannsson said on ESPN Soccer Today when asked if he sees himself in MLS. "I've said it a lot of times. I hope just the opportunity comes. I want to, when I'm at the peak of my career, then I want to be playing in the MLS, because I don't want to go there when I'm getting too old and the expectations are too much and I can't handle it.
"So when I'm playing at my best level, I want to be able to play in the US and show people how good I am over there."
Johannsson is 24 years old so if he is going to join MLS while he's still "at the peak" if his career, it has to be within the next five years. And it's very much realistic that it happens.
AZ Alkmaar is a solid club in the Eredivisie, but they're hardly a powerhouse and the Eredivisie isn't a top seven or eight league in Europe. It's not like leaving there for MLS would be a big step down and, if he gets a good deal from MLS, it doesn't even have to be a significant pay cut. With the way MLS has been paying United States internationals of late, it doesn't have to be a pay cut at all either. If Johannsson ends up at a bigger club in a top five league, his MLS plans may be scrapped, but that's hardly imminent.
Jurgen Klinsmann has made playing in Europe a priority and probably wouldn't look kindly upon Johannsson heading to MLS now. But in three years when Klinsmann is no longer the manager, or if MLS comes calling with a big offer, the striker could follow in the footsteps of so many of his U.S. teammates and play in his country's domestic league.

How is the evidence assessed?
Background information and definitions
As human-induced climate change leads to increasing temperatures, species shift their distributions to higher latitudes and elevations (Hickling et al. 2006). However, some species cannot disperse quickly enough, or may not be able to cross human or man-made barriers (Thomas 2011). This results in some animals being present in areas that represent poor quality habitat, resulting in increased mortality rates that may risk local or even global extinction. One solution that has been suggested for this problem is the translocation of animals to areas where climatic conditions are similar to those formerly found in their natural ranges (Thomas 2011).

A study in 2006–2011 of scrubland across a large area in North Dakota, USA (Wiedmann & Sargeant 2014) found that bighorn sheep Ovis canadensis translocated from populations subject to a similar climate to the recipient site reared more offspring, compared to those translocated from areas with a milder climate. Sheep from an area with a climate similar to the recipient site had a higher average annual recruitment (0.6 juveniles/adult female) than did sheep originating from a milder climate area (0.2 juveniles/adult female). Thirty-nine bighorn sheep originating from Montana, where climate was similar to the recipient site, were release in North Dakota in 2006–2007. Their annual recruitment was compared with that of sheep released between 1956 and 2004, which originated from stock from British Columbia, Canada. Recruitment was assessed by direct observations of radio-tracked sheep, annually, in late summer and the following March of 2006–2011.Study and other actions tested

PM will work with Biden on climate but won't change policy
Scott Morrison says he will hold his ground on climate change policy in the wake of Joe Biden's victory, while views differ within Labor over the significance it played in the US election.
The Prime Minister came under immediate pressure on Sunday to adopt more ambitious emissions targets for 2030, as well as to commit to net zero emissions by 2050 after Mr Biden claimed victory in the US presidential election.
Labor leader Anthony Albanese said Australia was now "isolated'' over climate change. Former Liberal prime minister Malcolm Turnbull said Mr Morrison had to stand up to the right-wing commentariat and the Coalition members of parliament who had brought his leadership undone.
"Now, Trump has lost. Murdoch's man in the White House has been defeated. The Americans are going to be taking a leading position, globally, on climate action once again,'' Mr Turnbull said.
"Now is the time for Scott Morrison to say; 'right, the global landscape has changed, the people that have been holding us back, holding the Coalition and the country back on this issue, are out of the way – I don't have to go on with all of the BS about a gas-led recovery'.''
But Labor frontbencher Joel Fitzgibbon, who has argued for a more centrist policy on climate, urged caution.
"What a strategic error it would be to conclude Joe Biden's narrow win was all about climate change,'' he said.
"Policy development based on that false premise will further drive Labor's traditional base towards our political opponents and deliver Scott Morrison three more years of government and relative inaction".
No target
Mr Biden is committed to net zero emissions by 2050 and will sign up America to the Paris climate change accords, something from which Mr Trump withdrew.
Mr Morrison, who kept Australia in the Paris accord, despite significant pressure from sections of the media and the party's right-wing, said he would stay with his policy of reducing emissions through technological advancement without stipulating a 2050 target.
Mr Morrison believes Mr Biden is more of a centrist and there will be opportunities to work with the new administration on technologies which reduce emissions.
"We want to see global emissions fall and it's not enough for us to make commitments. We need the transformational technologies that are scalable and affordable for the developing world as well because that is where all the emissions increases are coming from in the decade ahead in the next 20 years.
"I believe we will have a very positive discussion about partnerships we can have with the United States about furthering those technological developments that will see a lower emissions future for the world but a stronger economy as well where we don't say goodbye to jobs we don't have to say goodbye to.''
The Coalition's Paris target is to reduce emissions by 26 per cent to 28 per cent on 2005 levels by 2030. Labor does not have a mid-term target at the moment, just a 2050 net zero emissions pledge.
Meanwhile, Mr Albanese softened his language from last week when Labor demanded Mr Morrison ring Mr Trump and urge him to do the right thing and accept he had lost.
This was considered reckless by the government which believed such an action would be ignored. It questioned how Australians would feel if a foreign leader tried to interfere in an unresolved Australian election.

För oss som samlar på Mackmyra
2016-06-14 by Thomas Øhrbom (Whisky Saga)Mackmyra Special 01 Eminent Sherry, NAS, 51,6 %This whisky was the first release in the Mackmyra Special series. It was released late 2008. It was matured in sherry casks (Spanish oak, seasoned with sherry by Mackmyra). The Mackmyra Special 01 Eminent Sherry was sold at around SEK 600 when it was released. It is no longer available to buy.Nose: Soft sherry notes, fresh apples, cereal, sweet oakiness and a touch of perfume. It does bite a little, a bit rough on the edges. Vanilla and honey with time.Taste: Intense and rough. Massive perfume notes – after shave also comes to mind. It really bites! I do detect some caramel, vanilla and sherry notes as well. A hint of smoke maybe?Finish: The raw alcohol notes stay throughout the relatively short finish. A bit more sweetness towards the end. Oak, wet planks and moist saw dust.Balance: Way too rough and unbalanced for me. The nose is quite good, but it fails to deliver on the palate.Score: (71/100)

The 16 Greatest Triathletes of All Time
Our exhaustive list of the greatest triathletes spans four decades of racing, features athletes from across the world, and includes highlights from every distance and discipline of triathlon.
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
Identifying the greatest triathletes of all time is no easy feat. How do you compare the all-out grit required in 1989's famous Iron War between Dave Scott and Mark Allen with the dominant performance by Gwen Jorgensen in the 2016 Rio Olympics? While there's no perfectly scientific way to name and rank the top greatest triathletes of all time, it's fun to try. In pulling together this list of 16, the following factors were taken into account.
How well did the triathlete perform from start to finish throughout his or her career? Did they win a world championship year after year? Maybe she went her entire career without ever losing at the iron-distance (looking at you Chrissie Wellington). In almost every case, these triathletes showed up to their events as the person to beat.
How did their performances move the sport forward? When triathletes turn in dominant performances, the ceiling of what is possible and what it takes to win shifts. This list of the greatest triathletes cumulatively had a huge role in shaping how we see the sport—and what it means to be a "great triathlete" today.
There are pockets within the sport where the competition was higher than others. What was the overall depth chart of the sport and the triathlete's specific distance during their career?
While it's not necessary to make the list, a triathlete's ability to jump across distances (Olympic-distance vs. iron-distance), disciplines (off-road vs. road), and styles (draft-legal vs. non-drafting) was part of the selection.
While it's tempting to list out ranking factors and assign numbers, the reality is that there are several intangibles (as seen in the commentary from some of the sport's experts) that are a part of the equation. With all of those factors in mind, Triathlete presents our list of the greatest triathletes—ranked in ascending order from 16th to first.

16. Greg Welch (AUS)
Quick Highlights: 1994 Ironman world champion, 1990 ITU world champion, 1993 ITU duathlon world champion
Today's fans of triathlon will recognize Greg Welch as a consistent commentator on Ironman Live broadcasts, but the Aussie has a professional triathlon history that makes him one of the greatest triathletes ever.
"Greg Welch was one of those rare athletes who could race successfully at all distances with success," explained Ironman hall-of-famer and triathlon commentator Bob Babbitt. "Very few triathletes could compete in the super short-distance, high-intensity International Triathlon Grand Prix Series during the Australian summer and then compete successfully at the Ironman World Championship in October.
"Short-course success included the titles of ITU world champion (1990), ITU World Cup Series winner, and ITU duathlon world champion (1993). While he also performed decently well at the Ironman World Championship in Kona though the early '90s (third in 1989, fifth in 1990, second in 1991, and sixth in 1992), as Babbitt put it "people started to question if the fun-loving Aussie could be dedicated and single-minded enough in his training to win the sport's most important event."
After serving as a commentator during the 1993 race due to an injury suffered in a bike crash during training, Welch had a breakthrough performance in 1994—breaking the tape in first to become the first non-American male to win the Ironman World Championship.
15. Erin Baker (NZL)
Quick Highlights: Two-time Ironman world champion (1987, 1990), 1989 ITU world champion, 1991 ITU duathlon world champion
As Babbitt puts it, "Erin Baker was considered one of the most talented women to ever do a triathlon.
"She often competed in running road races, where she performed well against the elite running fields. She was part of the generation that changed the perception of what female triathletes could do in long-course triathlon. When she won her first Ironman World Championship title in 1987, she became the first women's champion to run the entire marathon.
Babbitt explained: "When Paula Newby-Fraser and Patricia Puntous stopped at an aid station during the 1987 race, Erin Baker simply ran by the two of them to secure her first win in Kona."
She went on to win the 1989 ITU World Championship in Avignon, France, and then the Ironman World Championship again in 1990.
Though the Big Island gets most of the attention when it comes to honoring Ironman performances, Babbitt recalls Baker's effort at another iconic race as one of her greatest.
"If you are looking for Baker's most impressive race, a lot of people would point to the 1990 Ironman Canada where she was 11 minutes behind Newby-Fraser off the bike and ran 2:47:47 for the marathon and ended up beating Newby-Fraser by over 15 minutes."
While some may argue that Baker's career seems more abbreviated than some of her contemporaries, much of that was due to her and her family's strong political stance against the travesty of apartheid in South Africa throughout the '80s. Her parents' arrest during an apartheid protest in New Zealand meant the Kiwi couldn't travel to the U.S. to race for five years. She is also credited as one of the loudest voices in demanding equal prize money for men and women in the sport.

14. Peter Reid (CAN)
Quick Highlights: Three-time Ironman world champion (1998, 2000, 2003)
After a string of successful long-course races, including several wins at Ironmans around the world and the then-highly-competitive Wildflower Long Course triathlon, Peter Reid won his first Ironman World Championship title in 1998 and then his second in 2000. He was reportedly frustrated that he only took the victory over training partner Tim DeBoom by two minutes, so instead of taking a traditional off-season he started training hard in November for the following season. He ended up dropping out of the 2001 Ironman World Championship.
"Peter was burned out and simply stopped training," Babbitt explained. "He would ride his motorcycle on the courses he used to train on and then go down to the local donut shop afterward. He didn't know if his career would ever get back on track because he simply wasn't motivated to train or race."
Inspired by a friend who gifted him a printed out "16 Weeks to your first Ironman" training plan, Reid took only a few months to get himself in shape in time for the 2002 Ironman World Championship. This time, he finished in second—three minutes behind Deboom.
"Rather than being upset with second place, he finished with a huge smile on his face just happy to be back in the game," Babbitt remembered. The following year, in 2003, Peter Reid won his third and final Ironman World Championship title.
13. Flora Duffy (BER)
Quick Highlights: 2020 Olympic gold medalist, three-time ITU world champion (2016, 2017, 2021), five-time XTERRA world champion (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019)
Though Bermuda's Flora Duffy has had an impressive career, it was her dominant swim-bike-run at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics (held on July 26, 2021) that propelled her onto this list of the greatest triathletes. Duffy burst onto the scene with a second-place finish at the 2006 Junior ITU World Championships and then steadily worked her way up through the ITU rankings. She suffered disappointing performances at both the 2012 London Olympics (45th) and 2016 Rio Olympics (8th), before earning a breakthrough victory at the 2016 ITU World Triathlon Grand Final in Cozumel and the overall ITU World Championship title. She went on to dominate through 2017 and the first half of 2018, before being sidelined with a foot injury for over a year. She came back stronger than ever and was positioned as the favorite to take Olympic gold in Tokyo. She lived up to the hype, taking the gold with more than a minute to spare—an eternity in Olympic triathlon.
While it's never been her main focus or speciality, Duffy has also been unstoppable at the XTERRA World Championships—taking the title five times from 2014 to 2019.
"Probably one of her most enviable traits is the fact that she can deliver on the big day no matter what," explained rival Lesley Paterson, who is an XTERRA star in her own right. "Her skills on the mountain bike are unmatched and the way in which she morphs into whatever sport she is a part of is unbelievable."
It's worth noting that Duffy is probably the biggest "celebrity" on this list of greatest triathletes. The Bermudian can't go anywhere in her home country without being recognized and has her own public holiday—"Flora Duffy Day," which took place on Oct. 18, 2021.
At 34, Duffy is the second-youngest triathlete (behind Alistair Brownlee at 33) to make this list. Could there be more to come?
12. Mirinda Carfrae (AUS)
Quick Highlights: Three-time Ironman world champion (2010, 2013, 2014), 2007 Ironman 70.3 world champion
Australia's Mirinda "Rinny" Carfrae got her start in short-course triathlon, but it was when she made the move to longer races that she really started to excel. She finished third at the 2006 Ironman 70.3 World Championship and then took the victory in 2007. She posted a course-record time of 4:07:25 thanks in large part to her blistering 1:18:40 half-marathon. That run-through-the-field performance was a sign of things to come. She finished second behind Chrissie Wellington (GBR) in her Ironman World Championship debut in 2009 and then went on to win in 2010, 2013, and 2014. Carfrae brought a unique racing style to the women's field, turning in decent swim and bike performances and ultimately running her way from the middle of the pack to the front.
"Racing Rinny was never comfortable as I knew my lead was never 'safe,'" explained rival Rachel Joyce of Great Britain, who finished on the Ironman World Championship podium three times. "Rinny was a fierce competitor whose strength was being able to swim and ride strong and then unleash a killer run."
Carfrae set run course records in Kona in 2009 (2:56:51), 2010 (2:53:32), 2011 (2:52:09), and 2014 (2:50:26)—and that last one still stands to this day. What makes Carfrae's feats even more impressive is the fact that the prime of her career spanned that of greats Chrissie Wellington (GBR) and Daniela Ryf (SUI). In addition to the three Ironman world titles, she finished in the runner-up spot three times—twice when Wellington won (2009 and 2011) and once when Ryf won (2016).
11. Craig Alexander (AUS)
Quick Highlights: Three-time Ironman world champion (2008, 2009, 2011), two-time Ironman 70.3 world champion (2006, 2011)
Australian Craig "Crowie" Alexander got his start in ITU racing, spending a decade spanning the mid-90s to the mid-aughts doing decently well at short-course racing. It was in 2006 that Alexander burst onto the long-course scene, taking the victory at the Ironman 70.3 World Championship and with the runner-up spot at the ITU Long Distance World Championships. He finished second at his debut at the 2007 Ironman World Championship, before winning in 2008 and 2009. Alexander's standout year was 2011 when he became the first to win the 70.3 and Ironman World Championship in the same year. His 2011 performance in Kona was special in that he finally broke the course record (which has since been broken) that had been held by Luc Van Lierde since 1996.
Alexander was known for coming off of the bike within contention and then running his way to the front of the race—always looking ahead with a stoic look on his face.
American Chris Lieto finished second to Alexander in 2009 and went head-to-head with the Australian several times throughout his career. With his ability to run down the competition, Lieto and the rest of the field were left to rework their race strategies.
"He made me up my game and approach a race in a slightly different way," Lieto said. The American remembered one specific battle at the 2009 Ironman 70.3 Boise triathlon. Lieto paced himself well on the bike and was holding steady on the run, but Alexander dug deep and caught Lieto one yard before the finish line.
"He was one that no matter what it took he would find that ability to push through," Lieto explained.
10. Javier Gomez (ESP)
Quick Highlights: 2012 Olympic silver medalist, five-time ITU world champion (2008, 2010, 2013, 2014, 2015), 2012 XTERRA world champion, two-time Ironman 70.3 world champion (2014, 2017)
Spain's Javier Gomez is one of the most decorated triathletes in the history of short-course racing. While the ITU has changed the way they recognize world champions over the years, Gomez has continued to be in the mix. The Spaniard began his triathlon career at the age of 15 and has been near the top of the rankings since his early 20s. He won the Olympic silver medal in 2012, is a five-time ITU world champion and has shown strength at other disciplines, earning two 70.3 World Championship, and an XTERRA World Championship title along the way.
"With the exception of a few times in his career when he has been injured, Javier Gomez has been the most consistent racer in the world for over a decade," said longtime commentator Barrie Shepley of watching Gomez throughout his racing years.
While Gomez has a solid spot on this list, there is an element of "what if?" that comes along with his storied career. Gomez has faced his fair share of adversity including missing the 2004 Olympic team, finishing fourth at the 2008 Olympics, and then pulling out of the 2016 Olympics due to an injury suffered in a bike accident while training. Gomez was expected to be a top contender at the Ironman World Championship during the later years of his career. He finished 11th in Kona in 2018 and then returned his focus to Olympic racing. He has said he plans to return to long-distance racing in pursuit of a better finish on the Big Island.
9. Gwen Jorgensen (USA)
Quick Highlights: 2016 Olympic gold medalist, two-time ITU world champion (2014, 2015)
American Gwen Jorgensen didn't discover triathlon—triathlon discovered her. Fresh out of college with a new career as a certified public accountant, Jorgensen was identified as a potential elite triathlete as part of USA Triathlon's Collegiate Recruitment Program thanks to her experience as a runner and swimmer at the University of Wisconsin.
Despite her natural talent, Jorgensen wasn't an immediate star. She spent the first three years of her career learning race tactics and bike-handling skills. After a disappointing 38th-place finish at the 2012 London Olympics, she had a breakthrough performance the following spring at the 2013 ITU World Triathlon San Diego where she became the first American female to ever win an ITU World Triathlon Series race. Shortly after she went on an unprecedented winning streak, thanks in large part to her dominant performances on the run—claiming 13 consecutive World Triathlon Series wins that spanned 2014 to 2016 and gave her two ITU World Championship titles. The pressure was on Jorgensen heading into the 2016 Rio Olympic Games as the overwhelming favorite. She rose to the challenge, racing her way to the first-ever Olympic gold medal for an American triathlete. Jorgensen went on to race the 2016 Grand Final in Cozumel (where she finished second to Flora Duffy) before stunning the triathlon community and announcing her retirement from multisport to instead pursue a running career.
"It was great to see Gwen's transformation from a great runner who did triathlon in 2012 to a world class triathlete who was one of the best runners the sport has ever seen by Rio 2016," Shepley said. "If Gwen was within three minutes off the bike, you couldn't count her out for the victory."
8. Natascha Badmann (SUI)
Quick Highlights: Six-time Ironman world champion (1998, 2000,2001, 2002, 2004, 2005)
Switzerland's Natascha Badmann was invited to compete in the 1996 Ironman World Championship after winning the Powerman Duathlon. That race in Kona was her first-ever Ironman, and she managed to finish in second place less than five minutes behind the great Paula Newby-Fraser, who won her eighth and final Kona title that day.
Badmann went on to win in 1998, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2004 (after Germany's Nina Kraft failed a post-race drug test). As Babbitt put it, Badmann's strategy was always the same.
"Come out of the water a little bit behind the other top women, blast her way through the field on the bike while building up a big lead, run her way to the win smiling and waving her way through the marathon," Babbitt remembered.
To earn her final Kona victory in 2005, the Swiss Miss was forced to mix up her strategy thanks to up-and-coming star Michellie Jones. Badmann came from behind to catch Jones 18 miles into the marathon. She famously continued to compete as part of the professional field in Kona well into her 40s, eventually deciding to retire in 2016 at the age of 50.
"One thing that was consistent throughout her amazing career was that she never stopped smiling," remembered Babbitt.
7. Alistair Brownlee (GBR)
Quick Highlights: Two-time Olympic gold medalist (2012, 2016), two-time ITU world champion (2009, 2011)
Some athletes struggle to turn in a top performance when it matters most, but Great Britain's Alistair Brownlee has shined on short-course triathlon's biggest stage almost every time. Brownlee was an immediate success in the ITU format, securing the Junior world title (in 2006) and then the U23 world title (in 2008) before jumping up to the elite level. Across short-course racing, he's known for his aggressive racing style. While his overall performance on the ITU circuit alone is likely enough to place him on this list of the greatest triathletes, it's his two Olympic gold medals that propel him toward the top. No other triathlete has come close to the feat of claiming back-to-back Olympic gold medals—something accomplished by winning both the 2012 London Olympics and the 2016 Rio Olympics.
"The world has never seen a better one-day triathlete than Ali Brownlee," Shepley said. "Reckless in his pursuit for the front of the race, Ali was not satisfied winning the race on the run where he was the fastest man over 10k for two Olympic cycles. Ali spent tens of thousands of hours on his bike over his development and wanted to tire the legs out of his competition before the run ever started. In the era of incredible athletes, over the Olympic distance, Ali Brownlee was the undisputed king."
That all-out style of training and racing has led to a fair share of injuries for Brownlee, which explains some of the gaps on his resume. The Brit has moved on to long-course racing, finishing in the runner-up spot twice at the Ironman 70.3 World Championships. Expectations were high as he took on his Ironman World Championship debut in 2019, but he ultimately finished in 21st. Though the pandemic and injuries have thwarted his attempt to bring his greatness to iron-distance racing, the Brit is still looking ahead to a career of long-course racing. At only 33 years of age, there's still plenty of time for him to add to his already-impressive list of career accolades.

6. Dave Scott (USA)
Quick Highlights: Six-time Ironman world champion (1980, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1987)
As one of the first great athletes in the sport of triathlon, American Dave Scott still ranks toward the top of the list of greatest triathletes of all time. Scott discovered triathlon after a collegiate career as a water polo player.
"When he found the sport of triathlon and specifically the Ironman, he finally found a sport where he would be rewarded for working harder than anyone else," Babbitt explained. "And he did. He never put any limits on himself when it came to the Ironman."
Scott's efforts made him one of the pioneers of the sport. He was the first athlete to go under 11 hours, under 10 hours, and then under 9 hours in Kona. In a time where records are decided by minutes and seconds, it's hard to imagine an athlete consistently shattering barriers by hours—but that's what Scott did.
Scott won six Ironman World Championship titles over the course of his career, a number matched only by his 1989 "Iron War" rival Mark Allen.
"Dave Scott was the guy who broke every record and shattered every perceived boundary to human endurance," continued Babbitt. "That's why Dave Scott is known as 'The Man.'"
5. Paula Newby-Fraser (RSA)
Quick Highlights: Eight-time Ironman world champion (1986, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1996)
South Africa's Paula Newby-Fraser finished third at the 1985 Ironman World Championship and then approached the finish line at the 1986 race expecting to end the day in the runner-up spot. The athlete in front of her—Patricia Puntous of Canada—had been disqualified for drafting on the bike, giving Newby-Fraser her first Ironman world title. She finished third the following year and, as Babbitt, put it "people started to wonder if her win in 1986 was a fluke."
"She proved the world wrong and in 1988 by winning her second title by 11 minutes over Erin Baker, setting a new course record of 9:01:01 while taking 34:24 off of Erin Baker's course record," Babbitt continued.
Over the course of her career, Newby-Fraser continued to set records, including becoming the first woman to go under nine hours in Kona in 1992 (with a time of 8:55:28). While the sport has continued to evolve and the times have continued to improve, no athlete has been able to turn in a Kona career that parallels that of Newby-Fraser. With eight Kona titles under her belt and the sport getting more and more competitive, it's likely the definitive "Queen of Kona" will retain her title for years to come.
4. Chrissie Wellington (GBR)
Quick Highlights: Four-time Ironman world champion (2007, 2008, 2009, 2011), undefeated at the iron-distance
Why is an athlete who only has four Ironman World Championships so high on the list? Great Britain's Chrissie Wellington was one of the most dominant triathletes long-course triathlon has ever seen. In 2007, Wellington quietly won Ironman Korea—her first iron-distance race—and earned her spot to the Ironman World Championship. Wellington showed up to the island a complete unknown and off of everyone's radar—she famously purchased her race kit at the Ironman expo during race week. She dominated the day, finishing more than five minutes ahead of second-place finisher Samantha McGlone of Canada. That Kona victory immediately propelled Wellington into the spotlight. The margin of her victories only continued to grow as she trained and learned more about the distance. She made a habit of competing at the Challenge Roth triathlon, and each year set a new iron-distance record. Her 8:18:13 from the 2011 Roth event still stands as the fastest iron-distance race by a female.
On the Big Island, she blew away the competition at both the 2008 and 2009 Ironman World Championships, winning by 15 minutes and 20 minutes, respectively. Everyone showed up race morning to the 2010 event assuming Wellington would earn her fourth victory, but she pulled out race morning due to an illness—giving Carfrae room to claim her first Kona win.
Wellington was involved in a bike crash in the lead-up to the 2011 Ironman World Championship and showed up to the Big Island injured but determined to race. A pulled pectoral muscle meant a slightly slower time out of the water, but Wellington persevered on the bike and run to earn her fourth Ironman world title.
Following the victory, Wellington first took a break and then officially retired from triathlon at the age of 35."
As an athlete I sought 'the perfect race,'" Wellington wrote in her retirement announcement. "That race within myself where I dug to the depths mentally and physically, and that hard-fought race with my competitors. The World Ironman Championships in 2011 was the icing on the cake for me as an athlete. It was my 'perfect race' and it 'completed' me."
3. Mark Allen (USA)
Quick Highlights: Six-time Ironman world champion (1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995), 1989 ITU world champion
Mark Allen won the first-ever ITU World Championship in Avignon, France, but that's not likely what you know him for. That same year Allen competed in the iconic "Iron War" at the Ironman World Championship with rival Dave Scott and earned his first-ever Kona victory, snapping a seven-year losing streak on the Big Island.
Allen was known for his unique mental approach to triathlon, attributing his breakthrough victory in Kona in 1989 to an inner peace that allowed him to pull through and pass Scott.
That was the start of a dominant streak for Allen, who went on to go undefeated at the Ironman World Championship from 1989 to 1993. Within a stretch that spanned from 1988 to 1990, Allen turned in an overall winning streak of 21 races that included events of all distances.
Of Allen's ability to stay focused and in the moment, Babbitt recalled his final victory in 1995 as the best example.
"He was over 13 minutes down to Thomas Hellriegel off the bike, he had already won the race five times, and he was 37 years old coming back after taking a year off from racing," Babbitt said. "Rather than be overwhelmed and defeated by having to make up 30 seconds per mile during the marathon, he stayed focused on having the best run he possibly could, no matter what the consequences. By doing that, he eventually caught Thomas Hellriegel about 23 miles into the run."
2. Daniela Ryf (SUI)
Quick Highlights: Four-time Ironman world champion (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018), five-time Ironman 70.3 world champion (2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019)
Switzerland's Daniela Ryf got her start in short-course racing, racking up a list of decent results—including a seventh-place finish at the 2008 Beijing Olympics—but never breaking through as an ITU star. After finishing a disappointing 40th place at the 2012 London Olympics, Ryf made the decision to switch over to long-course racing.
Ryf immediately found success, winning the 2014 Ironman 70.3 World Championship and then finishing second in her debut at Kona in that same year. From there, Ryf dominated long-course triathlon—racking up four straight Ironman world titles and a total of five 70.3 world titles. In her dominant 2018 Ironman World Championship victory, Ryf established a new course record (8:26:18) that still stands today.
Joyce, who finished on the Kona podium alongside Ryf two times, remembered that Ryf was quiet around her competitors and preferred to let her performance do the talking.
"She was confident at pre-race press conferences but it was like she had an inner confidence so she didn't need to get involved in 'smack' talk," explained Joyce. "When I went back to Kona in 2017, her dominance had reached a different level to that I had seen in 2015. She has no weakness and races her own race."
While Ryf has upped the level of competition for women's long-course triathlon, she has shown she's human over the years—struggling with injuries and sometimes performing on the big day. She finished fourth at the 2016 70.3 World Championships (but then went on to win in Kona) and later struggled through the 2019 Ironman World Championship (after previously winning the 70.3 World Championships.) Most recently, she finished 11th after struggling through the 2021 Ironman 70.3 World Championships in St. George.
Despite these struggles, Ryf comes out near the top of the greatest triathletes ever for her ability to show up on the biggest stages and dominate during the most competitive period triathlon has seen.

1. Jan Frodeno
Quick Highlights: 2008 Olympic gold medalist, three-time Ironman world champion (2015, 2016, 2019), two-time Ironman 70.3 world champion (2015, 2018)
While Germany's Jan Frodeno was never a regular, dominant force in the ITU circuit, the fact that he turned up at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and earned the gold medal shows his ability to perform when it matters most.
"Jan has had a habit of picking big days (Olympics and Kona) to extract his best performances," Shepley said of Frodeno's success. "That is truly a sign of a huge performer. With attention to details as his hallmark, if the event is important, then you know that Jan is going to be ready from the gun to go for the win."
There are several Olympic medalists on this list, but what puts Frodeno on top is the fact that he used his career in short course to propel himself into one of the greatest long-course careers the sport has ever seen.
After making the shift to long course following the 2012 London Olympics, Frodeno finished on the podium at both the 2014 70.3 (second) and Ironman World Championships (third). The following year, Frodeno won both events and established himself as a bonafide long-course star. He's gone on to win one more 70.3 world title and two more Ironman world titles. In his most recent Kona victory, he posted the fastest Ironman World Championship time ever in 7:51:13.
Throughout his career he's not been shy about going after records, first establishing an iron-distance record of 7:35:39 at the 2016 Challenge Roth triathlon and then recently breaking it in 7:27:53 while facing off against Lionel Sanders in a two-person "Battle Royale."
The charismatic German star is known for his "Frodissimo," willingness to go after unique challenges, and not being afraid to speak out about his fellow competitors. His ability to turn in the best performances while facing the toughest competition when it matters most puts him atop the list of the greatest triathletes.

Selected topics from biomechanics: from dinosaurs to space flight
prof. Matej Daniel, Ph.D., Department of Mechanics, Biomechanics and Mechatronics, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Czech Technical University in Prague:
Biomechanics is the study of the mechanical laws relating to the movement or structure of living organisms. The aim of the lecture is to provide a couple of examples showing that we use biomechanical principles every day. The lecture will describe basic scaling law that limits the size of living organisms, explain why a bug cannot be large as a car, show that walking and running is a clever way how to conserve the energy and introduce some problems of mechanobiology of bone and cartilage.
