How the Astros could get a boost when the playoffs begin
After being basically overmatched in their season opening loss at Kansas City, the Texans try it this week against the other team vastly superior to them in the AFC last season with the Baltimore Ravens at fan-less NRG Stadium Sunday. They met last year with the Ravens humiliating the Texans 41-7 in Baltimore.
The Chiefs are a tough measuring stick, but the Texans didn't measure up in any area. Meanwhile, in their opener last Sunday the Ravens bashed the Browns 38-6 with reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson completing 20 of 25 passes with three touchdown passes and no interceptions. Jackson ran only seven times, last time he had fewer carries was the season opener last season. On paper there is little reason to think the Texans win. They have no position unit advantage with the possible exception of wide receiver, but given the puny outputs of Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb, and Kenny Stills in Kansas City let's see them have a good game before giving them any checkmarks over opponents. The Ravens are seven point favorites.
The playoffs are in sight for the Astros
The Astros continue to slog (slog, not slug) their way to the postseason. Entering the weekend with just 10 games left in this truncated regular season they sit as a paragon of mediocrity: 25 wins and 25 losses. That has about clinched a playoff spot though since in the gimmicky short season postseason format the Astros are a virtual lock to qualify by finishing second in the American League West. They are three games ahead of Seattle. If somehow they wind up tied there is no one game playoff, and the Astros have already clinched the tiebreaker over the Mariners. The Astros play only lousy teams to close. Three this weekend vs. the Diamondbacks, then three to try to polish off the Mariners in Seattle, then four in Arlington at the Rangers.
The Astros' bullpen will be stronger in the playoffs
The Astros' lousy bullpen has been a big weakness in the 60 game schedule and would have been a bigger problem over a 162 game schedule. In the playoffs, that weakness could be greatly diminished. In the opening round best of three Zack Greinke is sure to start one of the first two games. If Justin Verlander makes it back to start the other, that leaves just one starting spot left for Dusty Baker to decide likely between Jose Urquidy and Lance McCullers. That would add Framber Valdez and Cristian Javier to the Astros' pen.
Since the Astros will have no playoff games at Minute Maid Park, Urquidy (with two more decent starts) should get the nod over McCullers. It is bizarre that McCullers has been so regularly outstanding at MMP while so often inept elsewhere. In five home starts this season McCullers has a 1.42 earned run average. In four road starts his ERA is 13.50. It's not just a short season small sample size thing. For his career McCullers has 44 home starts, ERA 2.51. 45 road starts (plus three relief appearances), ERA 5.22. It's not as if MMP is a great pitchers' park.
Timing is running out for the Rockets
The Rockets turned out to be irrelevant as real NBA championship contenders go. The Lakers are excellent so there is no shame in losing to them, but the Rockets getting destroyed in the fourth quarter of two games and then not even being competitive in the closeout game made a complete mockery of General Manager Daryl Morey's "we should win this thing" claim. With one of the oldest starting lineups in the NBA the Rockets' future is perilous. Head Coach Mike D'Antoni opting to not be part of it in telling the organization goodbye without even waiting on a new contract offer. If for the third consecutive offseason the Rockets make personnel moves on the cheap, they are not to be taken seriously as a title threat in 2020-21.
The Denver Nuggets should give the Lakers a better series than did the Rockets. That in and of itself isn't saying much, but the Nuggets are younger, deeper, and more versatile than the Rockets.
Last season Kyle Lowry played stellar point guard in helping the Toronto Raptors win the NBA championship. This season Goran Dragic is playing stellar point guard in helping the Miami Heat to within two wins of playing for the NBA championship. Once upon a time the Rockets had Lowry and Dragic on their roster at the same time. The Rockets are at 25 seasons and counting since last playing in the NBA Finals.
Buzzer Beaters:
1. Maybe a postseason revival is to come, but Jose Altuve has never so regularly looked so messed up at the plate. His batting average down to .216, Altuve has been by far the worst Astro regular in 2020.
2. Other than at the Masters it looks like it will be a major surprise (and event) if Tiger Woods seriously contends to win another major.
3. Best doodles: Bronze-Yankee Silver-Snicker Gold-Golden

Finally, Audi has decided to remove the manual transmissions on its most popular models by next year
Audi has finally decided to move over the automatics forever and after this immense modification, there would be no manual transmission available as standard or as an option on any of the Audi A4 or A5 models in the US market. Audi says the manual transmissions would be removed from the other models as well but they have not decided the time yet. The UK market would also see the Audi A4 and Audi A5 model without manual transmissions very soon. Audi A4 and the A5 models are the good examples of the model where the experiment of removing the Audi manual transmissions would give solid results. These models are fundamentally decent upmarket family cars and they are known as the something really exceptional mean of transportation by the Audi.
When it comes to the powertrains, Audi has introduced some of the world's best powertrains on these models and indeed, Audi A4 and the A5 are the milking cows of the automaker in almost all the markets including the UK and the USA. Every transmission offered on the Audi A4 and A5 was an exceptional piece of engineering. However, the six speed transmission was a real clincher when it was tested by the automotive testing engineers and experts. On the A5, on the other hand, the manual transmissions were also considered as the pros of the model along with the Audi engines. But in the modern mobility, manual transmissions are dying slowly and gradually. There is no space for the manual transmissions in the modern means of mobility where hybrid transmissions are getting in.
There is the need of automatic transmissions and dual clutch gearboxes only and Audi has come forward to say goodbye to the manuals. The automaker has decided to drop off its last stick shift transmissions from its new models and the US market will get benefits first. This is not because of any campaigns against the third pedal in the cabin if you guessed so. Audi says there is no customer demand for the manual transmissions in the USA. Thus there is no point to offer manual transmissions in the USA, Audi would do the same to the other markets as well if there would be no demand of manual transmissions in those markets, and it is actually a true sense of the business.
The game is OVER!!!
The manual transmissions would become the part of the history in few years when the automakers would drop them one by one on their vehicles. With the launch of the 2019 Audi A4 and Audi A5, the manual transmissions on these models would be no longer available. This clearly evident that there would be no manual Audi available in the US markets. At least on the dealerships, there would be no new Audi with a manual transmission but in the used car markets, these models would definitely complete their life.
How could this happen so fast and sudden?
This is not anything unusual because the automotive industry is subjected to the massive changes. It has also become the reality that as much as an expert speak about the manual transmissions, the enthusiasts do not bother and do not want to buy one in the USA. This was one of the hardest decision for the Audi and Porsche also understands certain audiences that they won't buy the manual transmissions because the new automatic transmissions do the job really better.
Audi is not the one automaker in the USA who thinks that the manual transmissions have been rejected by the public in the USA. Other brands including Porsche, Lamborghini, Bugatti, and Bentley have also decided to drop the manual transmissions. Lamborghini has introduced the Huracan with the automatic option only. Bentley and Bugatti have also removed the manual transmissions. Volkswagen is still offering the Golf and Jetta models with manual transmissions and they have no plans to drop these options.
There are other automakers including Mercedes and BMW also continue offering the stick-shift transmissions in the US markets. These rivals of the Audi stand as the exceptions then the rule of dropping the manual transmissions and they are not willing to drop their gears.

In comparison to other partners of the United States, such as Saudi Arabia and China, Montenegro appears to be quite small and insignificant. It is true that Montenegro's total population is less than a million people. Furthermore, the country itself is slightly smaller than the state of Connecticut. However, Montenegro has proven to be a sturdy economic and military partner to both the United States and European Union. The overall goal of this piece will be to explore how the U.S. benefits from foreign aid to Montenegro.
History and Renewed Relations
U.S.-Montenegrin relations officially began in 1905 and lasted until 1920. Montenegro eventually became a part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia until its dissolution in 1992. Montenegro wouldn't achieve independence again until May 2012. In a referendum, rough 55 percent of the population voted for independence from the state union of Serbia-Montenegro. As a result, the United States re-established relations with Montenegro in 2006.
Quoting the U.S. Department of State on current relations with Montenegro, "The relationship between the U.S. and Montenegro has promoted peace and prosperity in the region and around the world." For the FY 2019 budget, Montenegro is earmarked to receive $2.5 million in U.S. foreign assistance. Of that, 35 percent is geared towards bolstering democracy, human rights, and governance. The remaining 65 percent will be invested in peace and security.
Benefit: Influence in the Balkans
As aid continues to Montenegro, the U.S. gains a foothold in the Balkan region and can further promote its agenda. In recent years the U.S. has aimed for Montenegro to achieve Atlantic-Euro integration. On June 5, 2017, Montenegro became the 30th member to join NATO. In addition, Montenegro entered into accession negotiations with the E.U. to become a full member.
As a potential member of the E.U. and a part of NATO, Montenegro is of strategic significance to the U.S., particularly in reducing Russian influence and aggression in the Balkans. To reduce crime, the U.S. has sought to increase Montenegro's ability to fight organized crime and corruption. If U.S. assistance continues as such, Montenegro has the potential to become a stronger economic and military partner which, in turn, affects greater U.S. influence and support in the region. This is a major example of how the U.S. benefits from foreign aid to Montenegro.
Benefit: Foreign Investment
Montenegro's low corporate tax rates and business-friendly policies have enticed foreign investment from the U.S. and E.U. The U.S. Department of State explains that Montenegro has enacted the following incentives to potential investors:
- a business-oriented economic system
- a high level of economic freedom
- a stable currency (euro)
- macroeconomic predictability
- and openness to incentivized tax structures.
If Montenegro enters the E.U. it has the potential to gain increased investment from U.S. companies.
U.S. foreign assistance and economic investment in Montenegro has proven to be both beneficial and successful. Montenegro's unemployment rate has decreased noticeably as U.S. and E.U. investment has increased. The country has also become a full member of NATO and is projected to enter the E.U. in 2022. As Montenegro strengthens, U.S. interests are further protected in the Balkans which is essential in limiting Russian influence. Overall, Montenegro has helped protect U.S. economic and strategic interests in the region. These two serious factors prove how much the U.S. benefits from foreign aid to Montenegro.

Buying Tips for Best Ram for Ryzen 5 5600x
Let's take a look at some important aspects to consider when purchasing RAM for your gaming PC build.
Over the last several decades, consumers have demanded ever-increasing amounts of RAM due to the wide range of their demands. Modern programs and high-tech games require more RAM. Back then, 8GB of RAM was more than plenty for the majority of PC users. It was even adequate for gaming and heavy workloads. For most users and gamers these days, 16GB is the sweet spot. However, active gamers and content makers may want additional storage space, maybe 32GB. However, unless you are a techie or operate a server, 64GB is not suggested.
The frequency of a memory kit is the most important factor. The RAM kit's frequency is specified in MHz, and the frequency range of the DDR4 RAM kit is from 2100 MHz to around 5000 MHz at maximum.
The delay between operations is referred to as latency. Simply said, lower time is essential for decreased latency and improved bandwidth. Your RAM's maximum speed is determined by these latencies. It will be useful while deciding on the Best RAM for Ryzen 5 5600X. This element does not have a significant impact on all games or apps; however, a handful do. As a result, you must examine the RAM specification sheet. It will be useful to do some study on the applications and games that you spend your time on. If you don't intend to use memory-intensive applications, you may opt for slower RAM.
Because the motherboard has certain constraints, the compatibility of your chosen RAM with the motherboard you possess is an important consideration. When determining compatibility, DDR generations, maximum capacity, and frequency must be considered. You simply cannot have it if your motherboard does not support the most recent version of DDR memory; otherwise, you will have to update your board as well. The same is true for capacity and frequency. Research the various varieties, such as SDRAM, DDR, DDR2 & DDR3, etc., and choose the best one for your project.
Because RAM is such an important element of your setup and will be an usher for your endless gaming, it is always a good idea to look into its warranty. Warranty is a measure of the producers' faith in their goods. Most RAMS come with a lifetime guarantee, which is a great deal for the amount you'll spend. This is also a guarantee of a future-proof setup.

The University of South Florida has hired former Texas coach Charlie Strong to become their new head coach, replacing Willie Taggart, who left for Oregon.
Strong is clearly ready to quickly move on from his disappointing stint in Austin, where he was fired after three seasons on the job and a 16-21 overall record, while going 12-15 in Big 12 play.
Not only is Strong heading to Tampa, but he reportedly wants to take a bunch of his former coaches from Austin with him.
Charlie Strong would like to take most of his staff from Texas with him to South Florida, including offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert.
— Chris Low (@ClowESPN) December 11, 2016
There was a reason Texas had issues hiring an offensive coordinator last offseason (most notably, TCU's Sonny Cumbie). Many felt that this exact scenario could happen where Strong gets canned and the new offensive coordinator is out of work after 1 season in Austin. But, as expected, Strong is loyal to his guys.
It's believed to be a 5-year deal and and if Strong can last 4 years, we can look forward to September 5th, 2020 when the Bulls take on the Longhorns in Austin.
Strong has great recruiting ties to the Sunshine State, as he had four different coaching stints at the University of Florida.
Strong made a name for himself as head coach at Louisville, where he spent four seasons, compiling a 37-15 record and winning a share of two Big East Conference titles. His 2012 team went 11-2 and ended with a 33-23 win over Florida in the Sugar Bowl.
I thought Strong might take a year off and relax after feeling possible burn out from his stint at Texas. But, apparently he's ready to move on ASAP and hit the ground running with the Bulls. I'm happy for him and hope he has great success in Tampa.

Jane Ira Bloom, Mental Weather (Outline). This 2008 quartet album by the soprano saxophonist deserved Rifftides attention long before now. Bloom is noted for her control, intonation and full-bodied sound on a notoriously thin and cranky instrument, but those qualities merely serve her creativity, which is at a high level here. She teams with drummer Matt Wilson, bassist Mark Helias and pianist Dawn Clement. Electronic effects sparingly employed on a few tracks enhance the precision and clarity of Bloom's placement of lines and the freedom of her interaction with the rhythm section. Helias and Wilson solo impressively and, in Wilson's case, with his customary wit. Their contributions as ensemble players account for a good deal of the album's richness.
Clement's playing in this collection further explains why musicians on both coasts are recruiting her for her craftsmanship and the imagination of her soloing. The tone and dynamic variation of her keyboard touch are important elements in her individualism. Clement and Bloom have an ability to anticipate one another that prevents splatter in the execution of a challenging concept like the metric escapades of the title tune. Bloom's compositions embrace the unsentimental romanticism of "Cello on the Inside" as well as the adventurism of "Electrochemistry," which is the sort of thing Lennie Tristano might be doing if he were still around. She wrote all of the pieces except "This Nearly Was Mine." Bloom plays the Rodgers and Hammerstein ballad unaccompanied in one ravishing chorus of melody. This one goes into the permanent collection.
Gerald Clayton, Two Shade (Decca). In one dimension, Clayton brings to mind predecessors like Junior Mance, Monty Alexander, Oscar Peterson and Bobby Timmons. The spirit and verve of that brand of full-bodied pianism come across powerfully in "Boogablues" and his vibrant take on "All of You, " among other tracks. He displays further aspects in the ethereal "Casiotone Pothole," incorporating harmonized wordless voices and just enough electronic manipulation not to do serious damage; the pointillism of "Trapped in a Dream;" and the prayerful quality of "Sunny Day Go," with its intimation of Chopin. Bassist Joe Sanders and drummer Justin Brown help make this a substantial debut album by a pianist who has developed dramatically in the decade since I first heard him as a 16-year-old sitting in with his father, the bassist John Clayton. His power, judgment, taste and maturity are evident in the integrated, cooperative nature of the trio. This band is the antithesis of piano with rhythm accompaniment. Still Clayton's six-minute performance alone of Dizzy Gillespie's "Con Alma" all but steals the CD. His ad lib introduction is a composition unto itself, the fruit of a fertile mind.
Harry Allen, New York State Of Mind (Challenge). Has Harry Allen been around so long now that people take him for granted? That would be a mistake. He is only 44. He got an early start. Great tenor playing is never out of style, and Allen has long since melded his primary influences–Ben Webster, Lester Young, Stan Getz, Zoot Sims–into an approach with tonal and rhythmic qualities all his own. In this collection of songs about New York, he seems occasionally to also have Al Cohn on his mind. Allen's rhythm section is drummer Chuck Riggs, bassist Joel Forbes and the young Italian pianist Rossano Sportiello, who can manage in the course of one solo to evoke both Fats Waller and Al Haig. On six of the 11 tunes, the great trombonist John Allred is Allen's instrumental foil. Their romp through the elusive metering of Irving Berlin's "Puttin' on the Ritz" is nearly worth the price of the CD. Their out-of-tempo reading of the rarely-heard verse of "Autumn in New York" seals the deal. In his tag to "Broadway Melody," Allen comes about as close to quarter tones as a saxophone can handle. When is the last time you heard "Sidewalks of New York" or "Chinatown My Chinatown" as serious jazz vehicles? Not since Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong? Maybe it's time to hear what updated harmonies can do for warhorses. Serious doesn't mean solemn.

American Sniper
Eastwood himself is familiar with the war movie genre, both as an actor and a director. So where does American Sniper place? Much like The Deer Hunter and The Big Red One, it focuses on the horrors of war and its effects on people. But unlike Michael Cimino and Samuel Fuller's films, American Sniper revolves more around the brutality than the aftermath.
That said, however, American Sniper does manage to highlight post-traumatic stress disorder when it's required. It depicts it in a low-key manner (none of the flashback nightmares frequently shown in fiction), but even then it doesn't feel like it's been done properly. (Then again, you can't have everything.)
Starring as Kyle is Bradley Cooper, who in recent years has established himself as a serious actor. But how does Cooper depict Kyle? By many means, he depicts Kyle not as someone with a blood lust but rather as someone who feels that he's doing is merely to protect his country. It's simply something that happens in both real life and fiction.
American Sniper has its flaws, certainly, but it has its moments as well. (Admittedly most of them are courtesy of Cooper's work.) It's not great like Letters from Iwo Jima (it's more like Flags of Our Fathers) though again, it does shine in spots. Had the script been modified considerably, the film would probably rank among the greats. (Key word is "probably".)

Basically, do you like anything in particular about the designer series over the basic clear? She loves the way the woody looks, as do i, but we are wondering if there are any pluses to having the clear one. Does it seem to be more erotic to see the penis or is hiding more attractive. Any advice or opinons would be greatly appreciated before we make this purchase. Also, i can get a clear one for $110 as opposed to the $160 for the woody.

Catnip, or Nepeta cataria, is a common perennial herb plant. Native to the United States, and thriving in USDA zones 3-9, the plants contain a compound called nepetalactone. Response to this oil is most commonly known to influence the behavior of household felines. However, some additional uses can be found in cooking, as well as its use as a calming tea. For many home gardeners, homegrown catnip is an invaluable asset to the home herb garden, and sowing catnip seeds in a common way to get started. If you're new to growing this plant, keep reading for information on how to plant catnip seeds.
Growing Catnip from Seed
Like many other members of the mint family, catnip is fairly easy to grow. It does so well, even in locations with poor soil, that catnip is considered invasive in some places, so always make certain to do thorough research before deciding to plant this herb in the garden. Here are some common methods of catnip seed propagation.
Catnip Seed Sowing Indoors
Catnip plants are commonly found at garden centers and plant nurseries in early summer. However, one of the easiest methods of obtaining new plants is to start them from catnip seed. Propagation through seeds is a cost-effective option for those on a budget, as well as an excellent choice for growers wishing to make multiple plantings. Though easy to obtain, catnip seeds may sometimes be difficult to germinate. Like many perennial plants, higher germination rates may occur after a period of stratification.
Stratification is a process by which the seeds are treated to varying conditions as a means to promote germination. For catnip, seed sowing should occur after the seeds about been placed in a freezer overnight. After this period, allow the seeds to soak in water for a period of 24 hours. This will allow for easier and more uniform germination rates.
After the stratification process has been completed, use a seed starting tray to plant the seeds. Place the tray in a warm location near a windowsill or under grow lights. When kept consistently moist, germination should occur within 5-10 days. Move the seedlings to a bright location. When the chance of frost has passed, harden the seedlings off and plant into the desired location.
Sowing Catnip Seeds in Winter
Gardeners in growing zones which experience periods of cool winter temperatures may also use the winter sowing method as a means to easily germinate catnip seeds. The winter sowing method uses various types of transparent recycled bottles as "tiny greenhouses."
The catnip seeds are sown inside the greenhouse during the winter and left outside. Periods of rain and cold simulate the stratification process. When the time is right, catnip seeds will begin to germinate.
Seedlings can be transplanted into the garden as soon as the chance of frost has passed in the spring.

Daisy Gentle Lee:2021 was a busy year and here I sit waiting for 2022!
January of 2021 saw us delivering Christmas to the kids. We wore masks to protect each of us from COVID and opened presents outside. We had a January 3 birthday and Momma and I decided to buy from Scentsy for the first time. Loved everything! We not only bought a birthday gift, but a diffuser as well. All this wrapping and shopping wore me out, so I took a much needed nap with my Sissy Oreo 🙂
Springtime on the farm was beautiful and we saw new life in Spring blooms and in Daddy and Momma's Goat kids. Daddy began construction on an improved dining room with a nice wide ramp. When he tore out the ceiling to repair and add insulation, there was snake skins, a rat skeleton, and a few huge bee nests! (those gross photos not included)
In February we had a bit of snow and I left my paw print with my friend, Rabbit who I playfully chase at top speed around the farm! In March we had a late bloomer Goat Kid. Cookie had her first kid, Chip 🙂 Hope you enjoyed this brief recap of the beginning of 2021. There are many more memories and photos which I will share later, but I must go now and help Momma decorate for the New Year 2022!!! Paws and Kisses Love Daisy

I received 3 lovely bottles of Pacific Rim Riesling wine and recipes for desserts using Sara Lee products. The information I received also gave me the pairings, which was so helpful. This is fantastic because I never have any idea what wine to serve with each meal or dessert. So this makes my life so much easier.
I love the holidays because I love cooking. I love making a whole Thanksgiving dinner. I love cooking for Christmas and New Year's as well. What I don't like about the holidays is making dessert. I can cook almost everything but baking is something that I don't do very well.
So sometimes, I get a little help by picking up ready made pies and sweets. It makes my life so much easier and my guests really have no idea if I made it or not. I always come clean but after they have the dessert. One of those products that I always go to is Sara Lee frozen desserts and now I can impress my guests by pairing these goodies with the Pacific Rim wines.
I really loved the Pacific Rim wines. The wines came in dry, off-dry and sweet. I am all about sweet wines. I love them as a cocktail with fruit or with dinner. And the sweet wine was absolutely delicious with my Sara Lee cheesecake with strawberries on top. Delicious. Check out the website for more pairing that will make your holidays so wonderful.
There is a wine for every palate and a wine for every dish. Pacific Rim Riesling wines are the perfect wine for the holidays. I know I will be serving these wines with my Thanksgiving dinner and also with my New Year's Eve meal. You can find Pacific Rim Wines at your local grocery and liquor stores.
So remember this holiday season, bring a little Riesling to the party!
I have 2 full value coupons to giveaway to one lucky reader! Just enter below on the Rafflecopter widget.

People become or remain vegetarian for a variety of different reasons. Here are just a few.
- Health
- Economic
- Ecological
- Ethical or religious
- "It's the way I have always eaten."
Types of Vegetarian Diets
Benefits of a Vegetarian Diet
A vegetarian diet can lead to a lower risk of obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis and some forms of cancer.
The reduced risk is because vegetarian diets tend to be lower in saturated fat and cholesterol and higher in fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. The key to a healthy vegetarian diet is to eat a wide variety of food.
Vegetarians can get all the nutrients they need from their diet, but it does take effort.
It is possible to get all of the vitamins and minerals you need from plant-based foods, but it will require a proactive approach, especially for vegans. Important nutrients to include in all diets include
- protein,
- calcium,
- iron,
- vitamin B-12 and
- zinc.

Read On To Know About The Best Plant-Based Recovery Foods Available Around Us
Staying healthy is the new trend that initially started from the western countries and now has become the most common buzzword among the Indian population. People are avoiding cuisines that could prove a disaster to their body and rather switching to healthier food in order to promote a better and healthier lifestyle.
Hitting the gym has become one common thing for people that desire for a beautiful and healthier body. But it is mandatory to understand that only workout can't help you achieve this dream. Proper meals and diets should be considered that can give your workout a true meaning.
Improve The Workout by Eating Healthy
Eating healthy right after burning calories and muscles at gyms is one recommended thing for obtaining a perfect shape. In fact, many folks are marching towards the plant-based diet, making it an interesting topic among the health conscious majority.
Plant-based diets can provide an enormous amount of proteins and carbs after exercise that promotes muscle gain and maintenance. Additionally, its rich nutritional element reestablishes energy after an extreme workout session.
The plant-based diets also fight antioxidants. Here are 3 foods to try.
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are very beneficial in refueling tired muscles. Being rich in carbohydrates, essential vitamins, and minerals, sweet potato is great for breakfast and other meals as well, especially as a pre-workout meal. Load your potatoes with beans and salsa or march towards a sweet form by adding almond butter for an enhanced taste, keeping the nutritional aspect of the food alive.
Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is one of the oldest secret weapons that you could consider for a successful recovery after heavy workouts. Peanut butter is the best go option which doesn't require refrigeration. With 7 grams of protein in a 2 tablespoon serving, peanut butter is a healthy and tasty option. Also, you could create a post-workout smoothie, blending peanut butter with banana and soy milk.
You might not automatically think of sweet and juicy berries as recovery food but it's one of the best post-workout food that is easily available across stores and shops. As research says, "Blueberries are among the best plant-based recovery foods that promote recovery or muscle strength. You could make a blueberry smoothie, consuming it before or after the workout for a better and healthier result.

I recently interviewed Renee at Mountain Woods Farm about all things Livestock Guardian dog! In this post I will be sharing my takeaways from the interview. (a Cliff Notes version if you will!) But I would highly encourage you to head to our Instagram account to watch the entire interview as it is packed full of information for new livestock guardian dog owners and seasoned vets alike! I would also just like to put a little disclaimer here the there are opinions (both mine and Renees in this post and in the interview and it is 100% okay if you don't agree with everything, we all respect each other's thoughts and opinions in this space)
To give you a brief background on Renee, she grew up showing dogs and her parents have been breeding dogs since the 60's. She first saw LGD breeds at one of her dog shows and fell in love with them. and the rest! Is history! Renee now works with people all over the country on livestock guardian dog behavior and training and I am so honored to have been able to sit down with her for this hour long interview! For those of you who don't have Instagram, you can watch the hour long interview on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/wYNfKZ7_LKM
Livestock Guardian Breeds & Training
- LGD breeds were bred intentionally to have soft facial expressions so at to appear less intimidating to the stock they live with.
- As the owner or farmer, it is important to look at your livestock guardian dog as a partner and not as a pet.
- Set your puppy up for success by spending time observing them and learning their personality and what motivates them.
- We have to put our dogs in a position to always be successful. Once of the most common complaints she hears from new owners is "my puppy is chasing my stock". Well we as owners shouldn't be putting a puppy that's not ready in a position to chase the stock to begin with. We need to always be setting them up for success from day 1.
- When choosing an LGD breed, if you are getting a dog that is a cross, make sure it is only crossed with other livestock guardian breeds and especially NOT herding breeds. They are not the same thing.
- When looking for a breeder to get your puppy from, choose a breeder that is using their dogs to guard livestock too. This way your puppy can begin learning from their parents immediately.
- Look for a breeder who offers lifetime support in terms of coaching you, but also in terms of them always being willing to take one of their dogs back-no questions ask. Life happens, and a good breeder will stand behind their dogs and always take on of them back no matter the age.
- Some dogs are food motivated and some a praise motivated. It's important to know which your dog is in order to better train them.
- A guardian dog is not ready to be left alone with the stock full time until they have grown out of their adolescent stage. This is a different age for different dogs. Generally speaking, most LGDs are solid with hoof stock around 1-2 years old. In Renee's experience she feels that female LGDs grow out of the adolescent stage faster than males (TYPICALLY).
- When and LGD is ready to be with poultry is a whole other ball game-LGDs don't bond to poultry the way they do to hoof stock. This can be up to two or three years, or even never. There are some LGDs that just can't be with poultry. Their personality doesn't allow for it.
- If you're wanting an LGD specifically for poultry, best recommendation would be to get an older dog that is already trained to work with poultry. If you are going to get a puppy then get one from a farm where they are going to be raised around poultry.
LGD Healthcare
- LGDs are large breed dogs and therefore many costs associated with them will be greater. (ie. more food, larger doses of medicine when they get sick)
- It is important to find a vet who is comfortable with livestock guardian dogs because they do not respond in the traditional way a companion dog would. You need a vet that knows how to approach them and handle them effectively.
- Often times when approaching an LGD for the first time, less is more. They are sizing you up in a way, so give them their space and time to do so.
- Bonus point if your farm vet can just treat your LGDs and they don't have to leave the farm.
Adding additional LGDs to your farm
- When you add a second, third, fourth, etc LGD you will see their personal preferences come out. Once there are more of them, they don't necessarily have to do the portion of guarding that they don't like as much because maybe that portion is another dog's favorite portion. This is when you will see things like one dog patrols the perimeter, one dog stays with the stock etc.
- Renee recommends a three year age difference between your LGDs
- Also recommends running either all neutered males or alternating male, female, male, etc. But she does NOT recommend running two females in the same pasture. "They don't call them bitches for nothing" hahah! But for real, they will fight to the death. Keep your females in separate pastures.
- A solid, adult LGD can train a puppy for you. And this can be one of the best ways to train a new puppy.
LGDs and your neighbors
- If you live in an area where you have neighbors within ear shot of your dogs barking it is likely that at some point you will need to speak with your neighbors about your LGDS.
- Making friends with your neighbors and informing them are your two best bets in terms of getting them to understand the purpose of your LGDs
- It is likely your neighbors will have never heard of an LGD before, and helping to educate them is a great way to build trust with your neighbors and get them to understand your LGDs job.
Renee has graciously included this great pamphlet that you can leave in your neighbors door or go through with them to help them understand LGDs.
Breeding Livestock Guardian Dogs
- Important to check every aspect of health care we can and to only breed the healthiest stock out there
- Breed type and structure- not cow hocked, back high in the rear, bow legged. Poor confirmation will cause many different problems from joint issues to muscle tears.
- Every breed club has a document with the breed standards that you can read through, see pictures etc. For example I have read through the Great Pyrenees one on the AKC site many times and know that Sitka's lips hang a bit lower than is to standard so that is something we will want to compensate for when choosing a mate for him.
- Always want to improve upon what you have. It's good to know that no dog is perfect and find those faults in your dog and breed to a dog that has an advantage in that attribute.
- 70% livestock guardian dog breeders are breeding for incorrect coat. Their coat should require little to no maintenance from you. If you're having to brush your LGD regularly, their coat is not to the standard it should be. Occasional mat behind the ear or on the pants is fine but you shouldn't be pulling chunks out of them every week and you should never have to shave them. (I personally have one dog that I have to brush all the time and the other that I've never brushed a day in his life. Guess which one we are breeding?)
- Temperament and drive. The dog should want to always be with their stock. You also don't want a dog that is too shy or too aggressive. A lot of these characteristics aren't fully developed until your dog reaches maturity (2 years old) so you don't want to breed them until you know what kind of dog it is that you are breeding.
- Renee does not recommend breeding dogs until they are at least 2 years old. Pelvis and elbows can't be properly tested until they're 2. OFA certified 2 years and older. Heart and thyroid can be tested at any time.
- Frequency of breeding- a lot of literature supporting 2 different methods. Can also depend on how quickly your bitch bounces back from her litter. If your dog hasn't had a c section or other complications then it is okay to breed back to back heat cycles. (usually 6 months after the last heat cycle) Other studies out there recommend skipping a heat cycle in between (breeding every other heat cycle).
- Follow up with your puppy buyers. What are these dogs like at 1 year, 2 years? Is there a trend you are seeing or issue? Is this a good pairing to breed again?
The last thought I'll leave you with that I found insightful was when Renee said "if you know better, then do better". Never be ashamed if you did something out of ignorance of just not knowing. Farming and raising any kind of animal is a steep learning curve and you can only be as good as the knowledge that you have. For me, I am always trying to learn more and grow more in every aspect of the farm and I know I have a lot to learn over the next 2 years before we breed our female LGD, Juniper. I'm sure I will make mistakes and miss a few things the first time but then I will learn and do better the second time and so on and so forth.
I hope you found this post helpful and I would like to remind everyone one more time that there are a lot of opinions (supported by facts) in this post and it is okay to disagree with some of them. How boring would this world be if we all agreed with each other all the time?
Take care buddies, and as always, I'd love to hear your thoughts on this post!

I'm back for a Six on Saturday after a break last week when my cousin was over for a visit. Brrrrr, it's getting chilly out there now. We've had a series of dull, drab, cold days, with just one lovely exception when the sun came out on Monday, and the forest beech trees were resplendent in copper and gold against a bright blue sky (above). By contrast, the garden vibe is one of decay, senescence and death. I feel like I'm in a doomed relationship, keeping going with a spot of halfhearted gardening, but knowing that it's almost over. Here are six things, good, bad and ugly, to show you this week:
1 Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus) harvest. This one comes from the allotment. They're going to get a really good wash, and then I'll make them into little rostis, like fried potato cakes, with almond flakes, rosemary and chilli. Known as topinambour in French, they are quite popular in Belgium and often seen growing in allotments. We left some tubers in the ground to grow next year – such a low-maintenance crop.
Since writing this on Friday afternoon, I did actually make the rostis. Et voilà:
2 Ferns in urns. These Italian pots have featured here a few times, with various contents. Their pot-bellied shape means it's best to use plastic pots within them otherwise whatever is planted inside would never come out. For this season, I've gone with a couple of evergreen ferns.
3 Ostrich ferns (Matteuccia struthiopteris). These are deciduous, and look terrible at this time of year. Not much to be done about it, but I did remove a few from under the arch to make way for some creamy-coloured tulips, 'Cream Cocktail'. I have visions of the soft green newly-emerging ferny foliage contrasting nicely with the tulips, so come back here in spring and I'll show you a prettier picture!
4 Viburnum carlesii. This can be seen photobombing to the right of the ferns above. Attention-seeking: a great quality in plants, an irritating one in humans. It's getting one more look-in before the last of its leaves tumble to the ground.
5 Corsican hellebore (Helleborus argutifolius). I was dismayed to see that this handsome plant, that had made an impressive clump and was the late-winter star of my garden, suddenly appeared to collapse in a heap, with blacked foliage. This happened a couple of weeks ago, when the plant was developing lots of promising flower buds. I cut back the worst of the damaged-looking stems, and am encouraged to see new leaves emerging. I can't imagine what is wrong with it, except that here in the glade conditions are pretty tough (dry; big overhanging trees directly overhead). Any theories? A virus maybe?
6 Crab apple (Malus 'Evereste'). It remains to be seen whether this one can cope in the glade. Perhaps it would have been better off in the centre of the lawn, but that is still contested territory, where horticultural incursions are strongly resisted by other members of my family. So before a strategic land invasion can be contemplated, it has got to toughen it out here. Planted this spring, it has produced a little crop of these Lilliputian apples.
The birds haven't gone for the crab apples yet, but I was happy to see a blackbird nibbling at the Pyracantha berries – one of the reasons I chose a couple of these thorny berry-laden shrubs was to provide some natural food for birds in the garden. A less welcome wildlife incursion was the digging up of Narcissi and Muscari bulbs in a large planter, the only one without chicken-wire protection. I'd planted some violas and ajuga on top, and thought this would be enough of a deterrent, but the squirrels were not fooled. I suppose at least it got me out into the garden on a rainy morning. I doubt I'll be doing much gardening this weekend – too cold – it's time to light the fire and eat rostis instead.
That's all for this week, more gardens from all over the world can be seen as always on The Progagator's site. Happy gardening to those so inclined!

Specific procedures for hiring Filipinos
Since the Philippines is a pro-Japan country and most Filipinos can speak English, there are many companies in Japan which want to hire Filipinos.
However, hiring Filipinos requires unique procedures that differ from hiring other foreigners. Another process is required before applying for a visa. That is the POEA and POLO procedure.
Ami Ito, an immigartion lawyer, will explain POEA and POLO.
What is POEA?
POEA stands for Philippine Overseas Employment Administrations and refers to the Philippine Overseas Employment Agency.
According to the data of January 2019, 22% of the total working population in the Philippines engaged in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. It is difficult to find a job in the Philippines because there are not enough employment opportunities for people. As a result, 10 million Filipinos, 10% of the population, are working abroad. Especially, there are many Filipinos working in the Middle East and Asia.
Therefore, it is the role of POEA to examine the work place before their people leaving the country in order to guarantee the human rights of Filipinos so that Filipinos going abroad will not be subjected to unfair working conditions.
Specifically, POEA will check whether the contract between the employer and the Filipino worker is appropriate, the local registration information of the work place and so on. If there is no problem, they grant the employment permission.
What is POLO?
POLO stands for Philippine Overseas Labor Office. Whereas POEA is in the Philippines, POLO has offices abroad. In other words, POLO is the overseas organization of POEA. POLO in Japan is located in the Philippine Embassy of Roppongi in Tokyo.
Procedures for inviting a Filipino to Japan
- A Philippine worker and a Japanese employer contract with a POEA-accredited local agent (shipping agency).
- The Philippine agent and Japanese employer prepare documents such as employment contract.
- The Japanese employer submits the documents to POLO Tokyo (If the documents are complete, the standard certification days will be 5-10 business days. The examination fee will not be charged.)
- Interview with an employer at POLO Tokyo. Done in English. Will be asked about the company's business and welfare.
- The Japanese employer apply for Certificate of Eligibility (COE) to Immigration Bureau of Japan
- When the COE is approved, the employer applies for a visa at the Japanese Embassy in the Philippines.
- POLO sends the Filipino worker the authorization documents.
- The Filipino worker submits the documents to POEA.
- The work permit is issued to the Filipino by POEA.
- The Filipino comes to Japan.
All employer interviews at POLO Tokyo are conducted in English. You are allowed to take an interpreter.
We will support the procedures for POEA and POLO, including the interpretation of the interview.
Please feel free to contact us.

Date: 30/5/2011
The Honorable Prime Minister of India,
Government of India,
South Block,
New Delhi
Complaint against Mrs Omita Paul, Advisor to the Finance Minister with the rank of Secretary.
Dear Hon'ble Prime Minister,
Mrs Omita Paul's proximity to the present Finance Minister is too well known to the members of the Appointment Committee of the Cabinet, as she has been appointed in the rank of Secretary as Advisor to the Finance Minister, Defence Minister and Foreign Minister at various times in the government coinciding with the tenure of Shri Pranab Mukerjee in the three ministries mentioned above.
She was also appointed as Information Commissioner in the CIC on 9/5/10 after the model code came into being under which these appointments were to be kept in abeyance.
Though the then Chief Election Commissioner Naveen Chawla, whose appointment to the post had been disputed by the Opposition for his proximity to the Congress, subsequently gave a clean chit to the appointment, a retired High Court Judge Justice Quereshi in his legal opinion on the subject matter thought otherwise.
That she was appointed without there being a panel of other candidate being made available for the post, that the three existing vacancies had not been filled up earlier, and that she was the only person appointed led to the reasonable conclusion that she was accommodated in a fixed tenure post for five years in case the UPA lost the elections.
The concern shown for Mrs Paul in appointing her to the post of Information Commissioner as an insurance against UPA losing the election was indeed touching. That the then leader of the opposition Shri Advani could find time to meet barely one week before the election day with other members of the appointment authority (which includes the Prime Minister) to clear the appointment unanimously shows the importance attached to the appointment of Mrs Omitta Paul.
The suspicion that the appointment of Mrs Paul to the post of Information Commissioner was an insurance against the electoral defeat of the UPA was confirmed when the UPA came back to power and she was reappointed as advisor to the Finance Minister on 26/6/09 on the very day that she resigned as Information Commissioner.
Such prompt resignation and appointment being made by the Appointment Committee of the Cabinet is truly unprecedented in the history of such appointments.
What is worse is that her resignation was not accepted and the note relating to recommending her resignation did the rounds of various ministries till November when it was agreed by the powers that be that the resignation came into effect on the date it was submitted and need not be accepted.
However, the fact was not known at the time of her appointment as Advisor to the Finance Ministry and the same yardstick was not applied to the reported resignation of the then Chief Information Commissioner who went on to complete his term.
If the appointment of Mrs Paul as Information Commissioner, her subsequent resignation and her reappointment as Adviser with the rank of Secretary on the very day of her resigning as Information Commissioner tells its own tale then the manner in which a exemption in the Income Tax Act was given to benefit her husband (and 13 to 15 other persons incidentally) was not only unprecedented but a blatant act of nepotism.
In the budget that followed her appointment as Adviser the following exemption was granted to members of the UPSC. Under section 10 (45) of the Income Tax Act.
(45) any allowance or perquisite, as may be notified by the Central Government in the Official Gazette in this behalf, paid to the Chairman or a retired Chairman or any other member or retired member of the Union Public Service Commission;
The exemption was granted in 2011 for the financial year 2007-2008.
Mr KK Paul, the husband of Mrs Omita Paul was appointed a member of the UPSC on 26/7/2007 and would be eligible for the exemption for the entire period of his tenure which he would not have been, had the exemption not been made with retrospective effect. In that case he would have availed the exemption for only three months.
The same exemption was not granted to the members of the Election Commission or the Information Commission.
It is being alleged that Mrs Paul misused her office to influence the grant to her husband this largesse. If in the process, fifteen other individuals (members of UPSC) benefited, it was because the budget could not grant benefit to only the husband of Mrs Paul. The concession being made retrospective is a complete giveaway so that the entire period of tenure of Mr Paul could be covered. It was definitely a new low in the falling standards of public morality and corruption.
The consequence of similar acts of nepotism would have been disastrous in any other mature democracy with either the adviser or the Minister (or both) made to resign.
As this act of nepotism was neither noticed nor acted upon by the government, it emboldened the concerned officer in another act of nepotism, this time to promote the interest of her brother. This time at stake was the chairmanship of UTI asset management company, managing Rs 67,000 crores of public fund.
According to Financial Express dated 9/4/11: While Khosla was rejected after interviews by the search committee on the grounds that other candidates had solid experience in the financial services business, the ministry has repeatedly pushed his candidature. Khosla is the brother of Omita Paul, adviser to finance minister Pranab Mukherjee. Incidentally, Paul has worked with Mukherjee not only in the finance ministry but also in his earlier stints at the defence and external affairs ministries.
The government is intent on appointing Mrs Paul's brother despite objections from the foreign shareholder having a 26 per cent stake in UTI AMC and the recommendation of the search committee.
What is of concern is not the fact that the Advisor, Mrs Paul, is indulging in nepotism as the potential of damage to the nation is limited, but the fact that she is also interfering in the appointment and functioning of functioning of the regulator Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). She has no background of finance and no experience and would never have made it to the level of Secretary in the Finance Ministry if there were any objective norms set for her appointment.
Her role has become that of an intermediary on behalf of the lobbyist who have crores at stake like the Saharas, MCX and Reliance against whom the regulator was taking action.
Her interference in the affairs of SEBI has been making news in the media for the wrong reasons. The fact is that what is appearing in media is only the tip of the iceberg.
Her role in the ouster of competent and honest persons has portends of a major disaster for the capital market and the economy of the country.
The country cannot afford the luxury of another major stock market scam or a downturn in the stock market due to loss of confidence by investors, both domestic and foreign, on regulatory issues due to the interference of Mrs Paul.
It appears that the decision makers have not learnt anything from the debacle of the wall street on account of lax regulators susceptible to corporate lobbying.
Details of press reports are as follows:
Mrs Paul interference in the appointment of SEBI chairman was reported in The Indian Express of 23/4/10, the headline is produced below and the article as Annexure A.
"After FM cleared Bhave extension, advisor stepped in to roll it back"
When stock market regulator C B Bhave stepped down as Securities and Exchange Board of India chairman on February 17 this year, it was seen as a routine event, the end of his three-year term. Behind the scenes, however, the chain of events was anything but routine.
Records available with The Indian Express reveal that more than a year before his term was to end, Bhave was cleared for another two years by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee. This, after Mukherkee asked for — and got a positive recommendation from then Finance Secretary Ashok Chawla — on his performance.
Sources said a section in the Finance Ministry had concerns regarding Bhave's earlier stint with National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) and his very public spat with Multi-Commodity Exchange of India Ltd (MCX), an electronic exchange that offers trading services in commodities.
But after the Finance Ministry formally wrote to Bhave seeking his consent, Bhave sent a letter to Chawla saying he was willing to accept a two-year extension. Until the intervention of Omita Paul, Advisor to Finance Minister.
It was her note suggesting that no action was needed so early, records show, which was the tipping point: Mukherjee put on hold the process for eight months. The Finance Ministry called back the proposal on tenure extension sent to the Appointment Committee of the Cabinet in January 2010.….
When contacted, Paul said she would not like to comment.
Another article on Mrs Paul interference appearing in Times of India dated 25/4/11 written by P Vaidyanathan is reproduced below.
Both Handled Sensitive Issues
This signals a dismantling of the team built during Bhaves tenure, said two persons with direct knowledge of the matter. Both Sinha and Bhave declined comment. Ajay Shah, professor at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy and a former consultant to the finance ministry, said the performance of Sebi in the last couple of years was the best in its history. "It would be a tragedy if a top quality team like this is dispersed, "he said. Two other securities market professionals said the quality of fact-finding and orders issued by the regulator had improved considerably during the last couple of years.
In its edition dated August 23,2010, Economic Times had reported that Bhave was unlikely to see his term extended beyond three years. On February 17 this year, we revealed the behind-the scene manoeuvring behind the decision, the crucial element of which was the decision by North Block, in early 2010,to withdraw a recommendation to give Bhave a five-year term. The decision on this was to have been taken by the cabinet committee on appointments, a group of senior ministers, including the prime minister. But in January 2010,the finance ministry called back the proposal. This ,according to media reports, was prompted by a note from Omita Paul, an advisor to the finance minister. In that note, Paul is reported to have suggested that there was no need to decide on Bhave's tenure more than a year before it expired. Abraham, who is from the Indian Administrative Services, Is an MTech from IIT-Kanpur and a chartered financial analyst. He holds a PhD from the University of Michigan. He was earlier the finance secretary of Kerala. Sahoo, who is originally from the Indian Economic Services, quit when he was a director in the finance ministry to take up the assignment in Sebi. Abraham handled sensitive issues such as the investigation into the case relating to the alleged violation of portfolio investment rules by ADAG; the proposal of MCX-SX to offer a trading platform in equity and derivatives, and several other cases of insider trading. The allegations against ADAG were settled through a process known as consent order ,in which the entity being investigated pays a fee but does not admit or deny guilt. ADAG entities paid Rs 50 crore,a record amount, for the settlement. The MCX proposal to set up a new stock exchange has virtually been rejected by Sebi. Sahoo is currently hearing arguments relating to the charges of insider trading raised against RIL.Both Abraham and Sahoo declined to comment. The government has approved changes to the rules relating to the terms and conditions of appointment of the Sebi chairman and members, including a five-year term, but is yet to notify these changes.
From acts of nepotism having marginal impact on the economy of the country, Mrs Paul has progressed into interfering in the affairs of capital market regulator for the benefit of companies with dubious background.
This will have a major impact on investment decision of the discerning investor and the economy of the country.
It is requested that her appointment as Advisor in three different ministries with the rank of Secretary (she would have remained as a joint secretary in her parent cadre), her appointment as Information Commissioner, her resignation as Information Commissioner and re-appointment on the same day, her acts of nepotism in favouring her brother for appointment to a key post and her husband with income tax exemption and interference in the affairs of SEBI be investigated.
It is also requested that Mrs Paul be restrained from interfering with the appointments and functioning of SEBI, formally or informally, till it is established that she has not indulged in acts of nepotism or has not been influenced by cash rich powerful companies in interfering with the appointment to and functioning of SEBI.
With sincere regards
Arun Kumar Agrawal
PS: The government has deliberately not given a clean chit to the co-Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Jan Lokpal Bill. One hopes that the Chairman of the Drafting Committee too is subjected to similar scrutiny on his role in the appointment of his advisor Mrs Omita Paul, exemption to Mr Paul in the budget and other acts of his Advisor.

Where was Mathieu van der Poel? Dylan van Baarle fills void to deliver overdue victory
A 'van' won Dwars door Vlaanderen at the Belgian midweek classic, but not the one many were expecting.

It was an unexpected "van" riding away with victory at Wednesday's midweek classic at Dwars door Vlaanderen.
Dylan van Baarle, a journeyman classics veteran on Ineos Grenadiers, powered clear to score an overdue victory on the pavé. The Dutch rider fended off a determined chase group to win only for the fifth time of his career, and the first over the bumpy roads of the Flemish Ardennes.
"I think last weekend I showed that I was in good shape, and that those places of honor of the past years did not just come out of the blue," said van Baarle, who was eighth Gent-Wevelgem and seventh at E3 Saxo Bank Classic. "This is just a confirmation that I am on the right track."
Behind him, everyone was wondering: where was Mathieu van der Poel?
The Alpecin-Fenix star lined up as defending champion — the 2020 edition was canceled last spring — but van der Poel never entered the frame.
When the race broke up in the closing, decisive kilometers, the hulking mass of the Dutch national champion's jersey was nowhere near the sharp end of the race. Instead, van der Poel worked for teammate Tim Merlier, who kicked to third in the race.

Van der Poel crossed the line anonymously in 58th at 1:41 back.
"It just wasn't my day," van der Poel said with a shrug. "I didn't feel good already early in the race. Maybe it was the heat. I don't like it. I had enough to eat and drink, so that wasn't it."
Many were expecting van der Poel to frolic to victory Wednesday as a warm-up to Sunday's big clash at Tour of Flanders. With whispers hitting a fever pitch that Paris-Roubaix will likely be postponed until October, all eyes are on Sunday's battle across the bergs of Flanders.
And Wednesday's Dwars, with several top Flanders favorites looking for one more hit out before Sunday, was meant to be a telling adventure.
Things uncharacteristically fell flat for van der Poel, who's been running hot since the spring campaign started.
"Better now than Sunday," van der Poel said stoically. "I'll talk to my trainers, but I hope to be better for Flanders. I really don't know what happened. I just didn't have the legs today."
Unseasonably warm temperatures — never a van der Poel favorite – marked the day. Van Baarle took the race by the scruff of the neck, and jumped on the Berg ten Houte with just over 50km to go. Despite some early counter moves, van Baarle was gone.
A chase group did form behind van Baarle, but some of the heavy hitters were either on siesta mode or missed the moment. Van Baarle, always strong against the clock, time trialed it home to fend off the chase.
It was the first major classic victory for van Baarle, who's finished three times in the top-10 at Ronde van Vlaanderen.
"I attacked and I was alone," van Baarle said. "I was actually hoping some guys would come along. That didn't happen and then I kept driving until a group would join. It never came. Then I could only think the last 30 km, just go for a ride, go for a ride, go for a ride. I am glad I made it."
With the win, van Baarle will see his stock rise ahead of De Ronde.
With Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-Quick-Step) also racing anonymously Wednesday — the world champion rode in with the front group at 22nd place — and van der Poel waving the white flag, two of cycling's "Three Tenors" will be hoping to hit their notes Sunday.
And Wout van Aert? The Gent-Wevelgem winner took the day off, but surely he was watching with interest to measure up his would-be rivals for De Ronde four days' time.
