The highest purpose of art is to ride "point" on the front line of consciousness change
…to create a field for the never-before-seen to happen.
– Daniel Dancer –
The Arts can help us step out of the rational mind and experience in the body our connection to each other and the planet. They can mirror our pain for the world, our longing for beauty, our need for healing, and can allow us to bear witness to this planet-time with courage and compassion. In this Room you can find some examples. Come back often to see what's new.

Trebbe Johnson – Radical Joy For Hard Times
We are a global network of people who believe that making beauty is an act of resistance to the prevailing domination of the Earth. We are willing to carry in our hearts the burden of these enormous wounds to the Earth and are dedicated to bringing meaning, beauty, and value to places that have been damaged by human or natural acts. Rad Joy educates, supports, and connects communities around the world to create Earth Exchanges, experiential gatherings in which we visit wounded places, get to know them as they are now, share our stories of what they mean to us, and make a simple, spontaneous work of art there.
Earth Exchanges happen once a year and people are encouraged to create and share ceremonies in their own communities. Also see Trebbe's personal web site where she offers writings, events and more.
Based in Thompson, PA, USA
Art For the Sky is a unique, team building activity for schools and special events that helps dissolve boundaries that often exist in our daily lives. With hundreds of people collaborating in the creation of something beautiful, each living painting is reinvention of how we relate to the world and one another. In a mythological sense, these experiential works are a way to repair what we have broken and to strengthen what remains. The link takes you to the Archive page where samples of their work is located. Also see Daniel's art and photography In Concert With Nature.
Wild Woman Rising is a free on-line magazine dedicated to the fierce creative force that resides in each of us. We are dreaming and birthing; cultivating our creativity in this world which deeply yearns for it.
Here you'll find art, poetry, essays, photographs, videos and more to feed your heart and soul. Submissions are encouraged.

Andreas Lie's images reflect a deep appreciation for nature and the wildlife that inhabits the wilderness near his home. Beautiful, haunting images.
Gaia Orion's paintings are narratives of our personal and collective stories in these present challenging times. She deeply feels the call to return to the natural and the spiritual and that it is an absolute necessity for us as a species to take responsibility in our next evolutionary step. Furthermore, although her themes are universal they also speak more specifically with strong feminine images inviting women to embrace and reconnect to who they are in the full scope of their power and capacities.
In our current political climate, many of us can feel inundated with 'bad news'. We may feel that there is not much we can do to change what is unfolding.

Elderberries have a long tradition of being used for preventing colds and flus. Although both the flowers and the berries are commonly used, the berries are the part of the tree that are best used for flu prevention, and make a delicious syrup!
*Do not use raw honey in children under the age of 2.
For an active cold or flu, use up to 3 tsp per day, in combination with echinacea, ginger, vitamin C, Zinc, probiotics and lots of fluids. Please note that these are only a few suggestions as the treatment of a cold or flu will depend on each person and each individual situation. For further indications on treating a cold or flu, please consult your healthcare practitioner.
Mayonnaise goes so well with so many foods – sweet potato oven fries, aioli, in a lettuce wrap, etc. This indulgent condiment however, is usually made with mostly inflammatory oils and also has sugar added, making it a condiment that definitely doesn't have any health benefits.
I've tried to make my own mayonnaise for years, but I never succeeded at getting it to emulsify and turn into the creamy condiment, until I tried a new technique.
The recipe is quite simple:
2 egg yolks, at room temperature
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Dijon mustard (I like to use the old style mustard to give my mayonnaise a rustic look)
1 cup oil (olive oil or avocado oil)
Salt and Pepper to taste.
I find it easiest to use an immersion blender and a small bowl to make the mayonnaise, but it can also be made with a whisk.
The trick is to mix your egg yolks, lemon juice and mustard for at least a minute before you start adding the oil. If you use this little trick, your mayonnaise will start to thicken up as soon as the first drops of oil are mixed in.
Then keep slowly adding the oil and blending until the whole cup is incorporated. Serve immediately and refrigerate the rest in an air tight container.
This super simple salad is super nutritious. Even better is that the ingredients support liver detox and hormone balance. Kale, beets and lemon are three great ingredients to support the body's cleansing process – and they go great together in this salad!
Makes 4 servings
For the Salad:
1 medium beet
4 or 5 large kale leaves, chopped and lightly steamed
Quarter of a red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
1. Cover the beet with water in a medium pan, and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat and simmer until the beet is tender, approximately 20 to 30 minutes
3. Remove the beet from the pan, and rinse in cold water.
4. Slice off the skin, and cut the flesh into small thin pieces. Set aside.
5. Toss the kale, beet and onion together in a large bowl.
6. Top with the dressing and enjoy!
For the Dressing:
Mix together in a glass jar:
1/4 cup Tahini
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
2-4 Tbsp EVOO
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp maple syrup to taste
A bit of water as needed to thin out the sauce
Use on the salad and store the rest in your refrigerator. Will keep for up to a week.
I love muffins, but I don't like how they often pass themselves off as a healthy snack, when in reality, most muffins are more like cupcakes with fruit added.
This version of muffins is high in protein, high in beta-carotene, and high in fibre and healthy fats, and low in sugar and inflammatory ingredients. They are a great way to use up your butternut squash too! They are healthy enough for breakfast, and make a great snack. They are even better with a dollop of coconut whipped cream!
Makes 12 medium muffins
Preheat oven to 375F.
In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs. Add in butternut squash purée, honey and coconut oil and mix thoroughly.
Add in all dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Line muffin tin with paper liners and fill them with the batter.
Bake for 20 to 22 minutes.
This chia seed pudding is a little richer and thicker than your typical chia pudding, which makes it just that much better! Enjoy it for breakfast, dessert or as a snack! It's easy to pack up in a small glass jar to bring to work with you, or pack it up in a school lunch.
This chia pudding is balanced with healthy fats from the coconut and chia, loads of fibre from the chia seeds and mango, and beta-carotene from the mango. You can't go wrong!
You'll need:
Pour the coconut milk into a medium sized bowl, and stir it well, making sure you get rid of all the lumps.
Add in chia seeds and maple syrup, if you are using it, and mix until they are evenly distributed.
Stir in mango.
Cover and refrigerate overnight. This is when it's going to thicken up as the chia seeds absorb the water from the coconut milk.
Serve topped with you choice of:
Bliss balls make a great snack! These bite-sized treats are packed with nutrition and are sweet enough to fulfill any craving for something sweet. Have 1 or 2 as a snack or dessert!
1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 cup cashews
1 cup dates, pitted
pinch of sea salt
Blend the coconut in your food processor until it is finely chopped.
Add 1/2 cup of cashews and blend until they are finely chopped.
Add in remaining cashews, dates and sea salt. Blend until dates are finely chopped.
Form into little balls and refrigerate or freeze in an airtight container for up to 4 weeks.
Makes approximately 14 balls.
These apple cinnamon bites make a great snack. Use tahini to make them nut free and school friendly!
1 cup hemp hearts
1/4 cup ground flax seed
1/3 cup tahini or almond butter
1 apple, peeled and finely chopped
2 tsp raw honey
1 tsp – 1 Tbsp cinnamon
Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Add apples, honey and tahini and mix well.
Form into balls – should make approximately 14.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes in order for the balls to firm.
Store in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
Pumpkin is definitely an underused vegetable. Pumpkin pie and lattes is definitely only a small part of the gourd's potential. It's gentle on the digestive system, high in immune boosting beta-carotene, magnesium, potassium and a great source of fibre.
I've been experimenting with it in smoothies and was honestly surprised at how good it turned out!
1/2 cup pumpkin purée
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1 Tbsp cinnamon (or more to taste)*
1 0.5cm thick piece of fresh ginger, peeled
1 Tbsp almond butter
1 cup (or more if needed) unsweetened dairy-free milk (almond, coconut, cashew)
1 Tbsp raw cacao nibs (optional)
*Pumpkin pie spice can be used instead of cinnamon.
Blend all ingredients EXCEPT cacao nibs in blender until smooth. Pour in glasses and top with cacao nibs and a dash of cinnamon.
Makes 2 servings, or 1 large serving.
At the beginning of Fall, I like to make this remedy to have it all winter. It's so simple to make and I always have a good throat soothing syrup on hand.
You'll need:
Fresh ginger
Honey (I like to use raw local honey)
1 small jar (about 1 cup)
Peel and chop up your ginger to fill your jar 2/3 full and cover with honey. Let sit on the counter or in a cupboard (out of direct sunlight) for 4 weeks before using.
The honey will become more liquid with the ginger.
To soothe a sore throat, take a small spoonful several times per day.
*Avoid giving raw honey to children under the age of 2.
Turmeric has excellent anti-inflammatory and liver cleansing properties. You can use fresh or dried herbs (turmeric and ginger). For dried Turmeric, I like using Organic Traditions to ensure good quality anti-inflammatory properties (there are other good brands as well, I mention this one as I use it and like it).
The cinnamon adds a nice flavour. Cardamon and cloves are also a great additions to this latte and add a bit of the traditional Chai flavours.
1 cup coconut milk or almond
3/4 tsp ground or fresh grated turmeric or 1/2 tsp dried turmeric powder
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp grated fresh ginger or 1/4 tsp dried powdered ginger
small pinch black pepper
squirt of honey or maple syrup
1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
Makes 1 large serving or 2 smaller servings
Heat in a small saucepan, strain and enjoy warm. To make this drink frothy, shake it up in a mason share or spin it in your blender for a few seconds.

March 09, 2011 09:00 ET
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 9, 2011) - A poll conducted on behalf of WWF has found that Canadians are increasingly convinced about the need for urgent action on climate change. WWF's year-over-year data shows that 84 per cent of Canadians are as convinced or more convinced than last year that urgent action is necessary.
At its core, climate change is about energy: how we produce it and how we use it. Switching from non-renewable to renewable energy, coupled with energy efficiency and conservation, is the only effective solution to climate change.
Currently, Canada is one of the top 10 nations contributing to global climate change, but we don't have to be. WWF asks Canadians to show their support for clean energy as the solution to climate change by participating in WWF's Earth Hour. Last year 50 per cent of Canadians participated. This year join over a billion people worldwide and switch off your lights on Saturday, March 26 from 8:30 - 9:30 p.m.
Pledge your support for WWF's Earth Hour at www.EarthHourCanada.org. (In Canada, Sears Canada, Citytv, OMNI Television and the Toronto Star are the lead sponsors. In Quebec, the sponsors are the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and Parks and La Presse.)
Why we are here: WWF is creating solutions to the most serious conservation challenges facing our planet, helping people thrive with nature.

The hike was pretty nice and definitely counted as an exercise. Santa Teresa park is a lot more open and barren than I expected, and the trails themselves are in full sun (even though scrubby shade trees are so close!). Coupled with an afternoon temperature at 90F it was sorta tougher than I expected. Oh, and, the trail gained altitude pretty quickly, much more quickly than I'd have thought. I think this means I need to look at more topo maps before choosing trails (the South Bay Trails book had only an area map and no topo data, and although it said "600' elevation change" I didn't have a good internal idea of what that would mean. Now I do). Anyway, I had brought plenty of water (Camelbak and a Nalgene bottle) so we survived just fine.
We finished the loop taking a shortcut (by repeating one stretch rather than taking an extra 0.1 miles to cover new ground) and were back to the car in about 90 minutes, a bit less than the 2 hours the guidebook expected. Along the way we saw: one runner; three mountain bikers (we were walking about the same speed they were cycling); one communications tower; one rabbit; several elderberry bushes; IBM Almaden Research Center; a great view of south San Jose (where suburbia meets rural land).
Photos forthcoming.

Salt Water Aquarium
I decided to start this project partly because it was always a curiosity of mine on how reef tanks were built. I always loved watching salt water fish when visiting the aquarium and after my daughter was born I though this was a great opportunity for her to be able to see the fish at home too. Plus I thought it was cool!

The Top 10 of the Ranking and Rating list for the coming month shows the following stronger currencies being well represented for going long: the GBP(5X) followed by the EUR(4X). The weaker currencies are the USD(3X) followed by the NZD(2X), JPY(2X) and CAD(2X).By diversifying a nice combination can be traded in the coming month like e.g.:
- GBP/CAD with the EUR/USD
- GBP/JPY with the EUR/NZD
Ranking and Rating list
Analysis based on TA charts for all the major currency pairs. Good luck to all. No advice, just info. Every month the Forex ranking rating list will be prepared around the change of the month. All the relevant Time Frames will be analyzed and the ATR and Pip value will be set.
For analyzing the best pairs to trade looking from a longer-term perspective the last 12 months Currency Classification can be used in support.
This classification was updated on 4 February 2018 and is provided here for reference purposes:
Strong: EUR, GBP, AUD, CAD. The preferred range is from 5 to 8.
Neutral: USD, CHF. The preferred range is from 3 to 4.
Weak: JPY, NZD. The preferred range is 1 to 2.
When comparing the 12 months Currency Classification with the pairs mentioned in the Ranking List above some would then become less interesting. On the other hand, these pairs are at the top of the list partly also because of their volatility. It seems best to take positions for a short period then and take advantage of the high price movements.
With the FxTaTrader Strategy, these pairs are not traded because these would be trades in the 4 Hour chart or in a lower Time Frame. Nevertheless, they may offer good chances for the short term trader.
Currency Score Chart
The Currency Score analysis is one of the parameters used for the Ranking and Rating list which is published also in this article. The Currency Score is my analysis on the 8 major currencies based on the technical analysis charts using the MACD and Ichimoku indicator on 4 Time Frames: the monthly, weekly, daily and 4 hours. The result of the technical analysis is the screenshot here below.
When comparing the 12 months Currency Classification with the recent Currency Score, as provided in the image above, we can determine the deviations. In the article "Forex Strength and Comparison" this is analyzed in more detail.
Chart of the Month
The Chart for this month is the GBP/JPY Weekly chart. Price is clearly in an uptrend and gaining momentum. Price broke last month through an important resistance level, see the yellow dotted line. This was a Support level in April, May and June of 2016.
A nice buy opportunity would be when the pair pulls back towards this support where the Kijun-Sen also is currently. The MACD shows a steady progress of the uptrend. As long as the MACD remains above the signal line and price remains above the Tenkan-Sen, Kijun-Sen and the Ichimoku cloud taking long positions seems a good opportunity.
Taking long positions on the Daily chart seems a good opportunity too. This can be done based on pullbacks towards the Kijun-Sen as explained in several set-ups of my previous articles.
- This is a pair that fits best in Point 1 of the Comparison Table Guide. For more information read my other Monthly article called the "Forex Strength and Comparison".
- The GBP is a strong currency and the JPY a Weak currency. The Currency Score Difference is 6.
Besides this article, I also use the Forex "Strength and Comparison" which is also available once a month on my blog. In that article, we look in more detail at the relative position of the currencies and pairs. We will look in more detail at the interesting pairs from a longer term perspective for trading in the Daily and Weekly chart. We will use the information from this article, "Ranking, Rating and Score", and analyze it further in more detail.
It is recommended to read the page "Currency score explained", "Introduction to the FxTaTrader Forex Models" and "Statistics and Probabilities" for a better understanding of the article. If you would like to use this article, then mention the source by providing the URL FxTaTrader.com or the direct link to this article. Good luck in the coming month.
DISCLAIMER: The articles are my personal opinion, not recommendations, FX trading is risky and not suitable for everyone.The content is for educational purposes only and is aimed solely for the use by 'experienced' traders in the FOREX market as the contents are intended to be understood by professional users who are fully aware of the inherent risks in forex trading.

How much do you earn off Ozbargain in a year on average?
Minus expenses and what not
1 Answer
Andrew Higham Owner at Red Leaf Tea
Early on we used OzBargain (and similar sites) as it was a quick, free way to attract a lot of people to our brand but in the end we abandoned the site altogether.
The problem, at least for us, was the users weren't converting to loyal customers and were primarily focused on getting the cheapest price which isn't a long term strategy for our business.
Despite providing a lot of traffic the conversion rate was very poor and it was very difficult to get any momentum out of a promotion as our business isn't the normal Ozbargain offering (technology or mass market)

Formula 1 NewsReactions
Ricciardo "helpless" in "confusing" qualifying
Mexican Grand Prix – Daniel Ricciardo says he felt 'helpless' in a confusing qualifying session for the Red Bull driver.
While team mate Max Verstappen fought for his maiden Formula 1 pole, Ricciardo struggled for pace and was just seventh, eight tenths off Verstappen, behind the Force India of Esteban Ocon.
"It was just about not understanding what was going on in terms of the grip. We didn't touch the car, even from yesterday we left the car as it was and just every time we left the pits had no grip," Ricciardo said.
"In Q3 we tried experimenting with an extra warm up lap to try to give the tyres something but it just seemed like what I left the box was the level of grip I had throughout qualifying.
"Sometimes you get one set that you can't turn on or don't warm up properly so you might lose a bit of time but every run was the same story.
"So I'm super frustrated but I'm sure we'll find something. But it doesn't make the session any easier to go through."
The Australian added that he was confused further by how he was able to put in competitive laps immediately during final practice, despite the track being significantly cooler.
"This morning the track was really cold and we were still able to hit the first timed lap so this afternoon should have been a breeze to warm the tyres up. That's where it's more confusing I think. That doesn't really explain the problems we had. If anything it should have helped."
Despite a relatively low grid position, Ricciardo still believes he has the potential to score a podium finish in the race.
"If we figure it out and get the car back we had for the rest of the weekend we can still race up to a podium tomorrow.
"But understanding the last hour is what we've got to do. I was for sure angry, but helpless in that session."

*rolls head from side-to-side*
Thousands of authors around the world are gearing up for this epic event. Are you ready? Yes?
*Does some full body stretching and ties on running shoes*

Thirty days. 3-0. I will be participating. Yes, I have an idea and characters and a non-outline, but a general direction.
And I am hereby announcing my intention to complete this challenge by midnight, November 30th. Wanna join? Check out the website, read the rules, and sign up. It's free. It's fun. It's a great way to get that fiction novel written—or at the very least stretch your creative side longer, wider, and harder.
And when you do sign up, look for me! I'll come be your NaNo friend. On your mark, get set, GO!
**Also, since November is all about giving thanks, I will be hosting some awesome follower appreciation giveaways—so be sure to keep your eyes open for those announcements.

Environmental Appeal Board Rules In Favor of SRA and CVRD - Process & Documents Will Remain Public Despite SIA Attempts to Make Information Confidential
28 October 2013
Shawnigan Residents Association (SRA)
Shawnigan Lake, BC: On Friday October 25th, 2013 the Environmental Appeal Board (EAB) rejected a request by South Island Aggregates (SIA) also know as Cobble Hill Holdings (CHH) that information submitted by CHH in the EAB hearings be subject to confidentiality and not released to the public.
CHH had argued that it would be "inappropriate for the material filed herewith to make its way onto those websites," in reference to the websites maintained by SRA and CVRD, but EAB chair Alan Andison responded that "...the appeal process is public in nature. Hearings are open to the public, and information provided to the Board by one party must also be provided to all other parties to the appeal. Moreover, once a document is filed with the Board it is a prima facie disclosable to the public."
The SRA supports the EAB's decision on this matter and will continue to keep our members and the public informed during the appeal process. "Everything about this is a public matter. It's our water source that is at stake and any attempt to silence the SRA or any other body or person through the appeal board process is completely and wholeheartedly unacceptable" stated Calvin Cook SRA Director.
The SRA continues to work closely with the CVRD in this matter. Both organizations are committed to preventing CHH from operating a contaminated soil landfill in the Shawnigan Lake watershed which would place the environment and drinking water at risk.
Please visit the SRA website for more information, the EAB letter and CHH's response to the SRA and CVRD's request for a stay of the permit.

[Yes, 30 chapters down! Plus five interludes. And a prologue. One more Interlude needs to be written - looks like I'll be working on that at some point - so I GUESS that the book isn't quite done. Well, plus I'm waiting on more revisionizing and editing by Dick.
In any case - here's another chapter for you to enjoy!
Despite the late night, Mike woke with the dawn after a restless night. A nagging feeling dogged him, barely remembered dreams of cold and darkness. He extricated himself from the sheets, being especially careful not to wake Katrina, and padded out to the living room. Hughes was racked out on the couch, but sprang up almost instantly.
"Sorry. Couldn't sleep any longer. Need to get some exercise. Want to join me?"
Hughes stretched. "No problem. Yeah, if I don't have to leave the hotel."
"I'm sure that can be arranged. Why don't you go find where their fitness center, or whatever they call it, is?" Hughes took the implied dismissal quietly as Mike pulled out his mobile and called Hardesty.
"Yes?" came the sleepy voice.
"John? Jenkins."
"Sir?" This response was much more alert.
"Plans have changed."
"How soon do you need the plane? She's fueled, but I'd prefer the other crew get a little more rest before -"
"Whoa! Not that quick!"
"I'm used to your, ah, shall we say precipitous departures?"
"Point. No, we won't be leaving until late tonight, but we'll be flying back home. Does the bird have the legs for a single hop from here?"
The reply was hesitant. "I don't believe so. I'll check on that and file a flight plan."
"Okay, I'll call back later." He hung up without another word. "Morning, Stasia. Sleep well?"
"I slept alone. Again." Then she smiled. "I suppose I shall have to adjust. What are you doing?"
"Just making plans for tonight. Thought Hardesty might appreciate a little advance notice for once."
"We are leaving St. Louis so soon?"
Oops. "Back to the Valley. Mission's going hot."
"Ah. Should we return sooner?"
"No, they can handle the mobilization on their own. Plus, I'm not gonna miss Cruxshadows if I'm in town!"
"When you talk to Captain Hardesty again, please ask him to plan a stop in Washington."
"DC? Why?"
"Have you forgotten Katrina's dress?"
"Um -" Danger! Danger! Stall! Don't answer that!
"And would it be polite to strand Jack - I mean, Major Hughes here?"
"No, but -"
"Michael!" She sounded vexed. "I see you would have!" He was saved by the suite's phone ringing.
"They've got a gym, and it's open. Seventh floor."
"Be right down." Hanging up, he stood. "Hughes. Off to do a workout. Kat's still asleep; I'll wake her when I get back." With that, minefields avoided for now, he retreated.
A sweat-filled hour later they returned.
"I talked with Noemi. Most of Katrina's clothes are finished, and she can have them at the airport tonight. But the dress is taking longer."
"Can she ship it?"
"I asked that. She can, but is unwilling. She will bring it personally to the Valley when it is complete."
"I'm sure that'll cost."
"She said she would do it at no charge, on one condition: that she be allowed to use photographs of Katrina in the dress for her business."
"Deal." He nodded at his bedroom door. "Katrina awake yet?"
"I have not heard her," she answered.
"Right. We'll be out in a while." And he walked to the door, entered, and closed it quietly. Katrina was still asleep, nightclothes disarrayed. He said, once, "Kat?"
She stirred slightly.
"Kat?" he repeated, a little louder.
She stirred again, but that was all.
So he opened his palm and slapped her butt, eliciting a startled squeak as she popped upright.
"Good morning!" he said cheerfully. "Awake now?"
"Michael!" she said severely.
"What? You weren't waking up, and we need to get going."
"So early?"
"Busy day. Now, are you going to get out of bed, or do I have to encourage you again?"
"Jenkins. We have to stop in DC."
"Bugger. Right, I'll refile the flight plan."
"Murphy strikes again."
"Indeed. Just for information though, she does have the range, just, to make Tbilisi from here."
"Good to know, I guess."
Eventually they were all ready. "The Arch should be open soon," said Mike. "We can do that first, go to the Zoo, or just walk around the city if that strikes your fancy." He looked out the window, seeing the wind stand the flags straight out. "I'd suggest the Arch, since it's sunny out now. Don't want to go up and get clouded in."
"The Arch, then," said Katrina.
"Sounds like a plan," added Hughes.
"How high is it?" asked Stasia.
"I'm not sure of the exact number, but I know it's over six hundred feet. High enough to see quite a ways. Come on, let's head out."
The sun warmed them as they walked the few blocks to the site of the Arch. They entered the underground, North entrance and boarded the egg-shaped tram car to the top. The door closed.
"Are you sure this is safe?" asked Stasia, looking nervously around at the small space.
"Of course," started Mike, but was interrupted by a narration: "Welcome to the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St.Louis…"
Four minutes later, the tram stopped and the small door slid open. They climbed a series of stairs, past other similar doors, that quickly flattened out. Soon they were in the observation deck, a long, gently curved room. The walls were angled out from the floor, mirroring the triangular facets of the arch. Deep, small windows were set along both sides, the walls carpeted, and a small ledge ran along the floor to provide extra lift. A few other tourists wandered from window to window.
Stasia clung to Mike. "I do not like this," she said.
"Here," he responded, guiding her to the wall. "Lean against this. Feel how solid that is?" She nodded. "You'll be okay here," he added. "Jack? Stay nearby."
Katrina was leaning over to a west-facing window, overlooking the city. "What's that?" she asked, pointing.
"Don't know, babe," he replied. "I'm not that familiar with St.Louis." A park attendant, walking by, added, "What building do you mean?"
"Right down there, many pillars out front, with the green dome on top."
"Oh, that's the Old Courthouse. The majestic Old Courthouse has remained over the past 150 years as one of St. Louis' most prominent architectural landmarks. The Old Courthouse was the site of the first two trials of the pivotal Dred Scott case in 1847 and 1850. It was also where Virginia Minor's case for a woman's right to vote came to trial in the 1870s."
"Sounds like you've said that once or twice," said Mike.
The ranger smiled. "Maybe. It's still worth a look, if you have the time. Some really neat exhibits down there, especially about the Underground Railroad."
"Oh, we were on one of those in Washington! Boston, too!"
Mike contained his mirth, suspecting that laughing at Kat in public would be a mistake. "Not a subway, Katrina. The Underground Railroad was a system which helped free slaves before the Civil War."
"It wasn't even usually a railroad," added the ranger with a straight face. "Just a series of safe houses."
Katrina flushed. "Oh!" she exclaimed, then returned to the window. "That's a baseball stadium?" she said, pointing.
"Busch Stadium, right?" said Mike.
"Home of the Cardinals, sure is!"
"I'd like to see another game; can we go, Mike?" He looked at the ranger. "Don't suppose you know the schedule?"
He shook his head sorrowfully. "Sorry, miss, the Redbirds are out of town this week. They'll be home again next Tuesday if you'll be in town?"
"Nope, maybe another visit."
"No better place to see a game!" Looking around, he continued, "Nice talking to you folks, but I have to keep moving."
"Thanks for your time," agreed Mike. "Sorry, Kat." He leaned down, head next to hers, and peered out the window. "See that white dome? That's the football stadium. I don't know what it's called, though. The Rams play there." Falling silent, he took in the city with her for a moment, then moved to the other side.
"I know what we're doing next!" he exclaimed.
"What?" she asked, coming across the aisle.
"Down there." He pointed to a riverboat moored across the river. "On the other side of the Mississippi. Name says it's the Casino Queen, so I'm thinking it's a riverboat casino."
"I don't want to go there," insisted Kat. "I though we were going to the Zoo?"
"Well -" Damn. He had all sorts of Bond lines all prepared. Well, he could be stubborn too…
They were back to the suite just before two. "Kat?" called Mike, as he opened the door. "Major?" No reply.
"Looks like we're here firs - oof!" Even an ex-SEAL could be surprised occasionally, and Stasia's leap had caught him unprepared. He staggered for a moment, her legs wrapped around his waist and arms around his shoulders, before recovering to close his arms under her shapely rear. "What brought this on?"
"I want to thank you." she replied, kissing his neck.
"For what?"
"For taking me with you today, to the casino, for lunch, for spending time with me - for everything!" She let her voice turn meek. "I've been quite naughty, these past days. I'm sure you'd be terribly angry if you knew what I've been thinking about every night."
Getting into the play, carrying her toward his bedroom, he said, "You'd better tell me. And quickly before I really lose my temper!"
He kicked the door shut behind them.
Four o'clock. Stasia was lying across his chest, dozing. Mike heard the outer door open, so he was watching when Katrina opened the bedroom door. Stepping into the darkness, she paused briefly, eyes adjusting to the lack of light, before continuing in.
"You didn't even flinch," he said admiringly.
She leaned over and kissed him. "I knew that I couldn't yet provide you all you need. Stasia's my friend, too, and she needs you." Looking down at the sleeping harem manager, a wicked gleam in her eye, she inquired, "May I?"
Uncertain of her intent, Mike nodded his agreement anyway.
The palm of Kat's hand left a bright red mark on Stasia's ass. Eyes flying open in surprise, Stasia quickly relaxed and, with a lazy smile, said, "You have a good touch for someone so young. Again."
"None of that right now, ladies!" interrupted Mike. "Do that when we have a little more time. Now, though, we have to get ready for dinner and a show - so up!"

Crude rallied on Trump Administration ending waivers on Iranian sanctions, but producers will be wea...
It Really Is a Global Village
11/08/2012 10:45 am EST
Focus: GLOBAL
Renowned chartist John Murphy talks about the relationships between various global markets, commodities, and currencies.
We're talking global markets with John Murphy. John, it seems like things are constantly happening, and we're always hearing about Europe in the news. We've sort of lost sight of South America to a certain extent. China has slowed down a little bit. Japan is crawling back and seems to have a pretty good short-term rally here. How do you see the world at this point?
Well, first of all, it's important to recognize that you have to know what's going on in foreign markets, because they definitely impact on what's going on here. Over the last year, most of the problems have been in Europe, and that has weighed on our market. You'll notice that in any given day when we get bad news out of Spain or something, it affects our market.
So if you went to look at a chart of the EAFE Index, which is the index of foreign developed markets, and overlay that on the US market, there is a correlation of 96%.
So there's a very strong correlation that most don't realize.
The world has become smaller.
In fact, just over the summer. Just as—I'm basically a chartist, so I'm talking from that perspective—if you were to look at the EAFE Index, which is Europe, Australasia, and the Far East that came down, it was testing the low that was set about a year ago. That's a very, very critical support level. If that low had broken, I think that would have had very negative implications for our market.
Fortunately, it turned up. Part of the reason it turned up, or the main reason it turned up, was because of support for the euro, and the euro has rallied quite strongly.|pagebreak|
So the euro plays a very important role here. When the euro is weak, that causes problems in Europe. Over the last quarter, what we've seen is a nice rally in the euro that coincides with weakness in the US dollar. We're seeing European markets, in fact foreign markets have outperformed the US market over the last three months, so that's an encouraging sign. From an American standpoint, it's very important to watch those things.
Another thing is China. China had been the world leader up until the last year or two. Right now, it's probably the weakest market in the world, so I watch the Chinese stock market very closely.
One area that's very affected by China is commodity markets because China is the biggest importer of global commodities. Another is Brazil. Brazil is the world's biggest exporter or one of the world's biggest exporter.
Right. Soybeans, agriculture as well.
Exactly, so if you are a commodity trader you have to know what's going on in Brazil, you have to know what's going on in China. They are coming back, but they're lagging behind a little bit. Russia is also very much tied to the oil market.
So again, you have to keep an eye. And also currencies play a big role—like I said, the US dollar. Here's another thing. The US dollar plays a very important role in determining whether you want to put your assets in US or foreign stocks. When the US dollar is weak, foreign stocks tend to do better.
Over the last year, the dollar has been strong and US stocks have done a little better. Over the last quarter, as the dollar has started to roll over a little bit, money is flowing into foreign stocks.
This is a part of intermarket analysis, which is something I do. So if you're trying to decide whether you should be in US or foreign stocks, the direction of the US dollar plays a very, very important role. All of these things have to be taken into consideration.
Now does that trend last for a while, or is it really just watching what the dollar is doing vs. the euro, too?
No, this has been the case. If you go back over the last ten years or so, for example, and you were to compare foreign stocks to US stocks, foreign stocks have done much, much better than US stocks over the last decade, and that's because we had a very weak dollar. Over the last three or four years, where the dollar has been more stable, the US market has done a little better.
So this is a long-term thing. You really have to keep an eye on what the dollar is doing.

Roof damage from storms is something homeowners and business owners have to live with. But, if you're not careful, you could also suffer from sticker shock when the time comes to repair the damage.
Fortunately, there are ways to be cost-conscious without sacrificing the quality and lifespan of your roof. Some elbow grease, consistent upkeep, and a dash of forward-thinking can go a long way toward reducing your roofing costs.
Some materials are more prone to storm-damage than others, and you should remember this when you're repairing your roof. Cheap materials will rarely last, putting you in the same position a few years later. For example, asphalt tends to be cheaper than tile, but damages easily and is known for its short lifespan. By installing a roof with a 50-100-year lifespan, you're setting yourself up for long-term savings.
Roof inspections following storms could mean the difference between a small leak on the patio and a torrential downpour into your living room. Always get an inspection performed following a storm to catch any problems early, before they get worse. Regular inspections reduce replacement cost and help discover small, cheap problems before they become big, expensive ones. Most locations that sell building supplies in Atlanta can direct you to a roof inspector you can trust.
Maintenance Matters
Roof maintenance is where you can save yourself big bucks. Always try to keep branches off of your roof. The could fall and harm people or property, so removing them could reduce your roofing costs and prevent damage in the future. Removing them also prevents them from scratching the roof, which erodes roofing granules and reduces shingle effectiveness.
Regular maintenance includes regular cleaning. Dirty, blocked rain gutters can spill over onto your roof and under your shingles. Leaf and plant debris can also trap water that will eventually cause a leak. This is especially important if your home has roof valleys where leaves, dirt, and water could accumulate.
Places that sell discount building materials in Atlanta can help you stock up on supplies to keep your roof clean and safe, including roof cleaner, ladders, and safety equipment.
While no one is excited to spend money on their roof, it's one of the most important parts of your home. Damage can be costly and time-consuming, yet are easy to prevent by keeping good maintenance and regular inspections in mind. Thankfully, by thinking long-term and planning for your roof's future, you can save money while keeping your home and family safe.

Mix It Up's three-year track record has shown that many, many students want to create safe spaces on their campuses for honest dialogue about their experiences with exclusion, prejudice and the social pressures that come with being teenagers. Here are some of their stories.
Fifteen-year-old Tyler McCall holed himself up in his room for longer than normal, surfing the Internet. He wanted to do something big, something that would have an impact on students at Transylvania County's rival high schools, Rosman and Brevard. Living in rural western North Carolina, near the South Carolina border, Tyler had attended both schools and wanted to bridge the divide. So while his dad watched television and his mother talked on the phone, Tyler pressed the "download" button and began airing his community's dirty laundry.
He wrote about racism, isolation, stereotypes, boundaries and rivalries — and about wanting to take action against them. He hoped a small amount of money — a mini-grant from Mix It Up — would make a big difference at the two schools.
At Rosman, Tyler wrote in his grant application, "a person of a different religion, sexual orientation, or race is not usually accepted." Tyler also wrote about an "awful rivalry that has been alive since the '50s" between Rosman and Brevard.
With fewer than 30,000 residents, Transylvania County has seven elementary schools, two middle schools and two high schools. Rosman High School, with about 350 students, is virtually 100 percent white. Brevard High School, with about 750 students, is more diverse, about 93 percent white — the same percentage as the county. The schools have been warring against each other, playing mischievous, sometimes hurtful pranks — spray-painted vandalism and the like — for as long as anyone can remember. Tyler first attended Brevard and now attends Rosman.
Tyler got his grant and used it to cover the cost of food and promotional materials for dialogue groups — his idea, based on past experience, of what might most help students overcome social boundaries.
'Being Judged is Not Fun'
Hundreds of miles away in Gulfport, Miss., teacher and guidance counselor Rose Pouriraji was looking for support to help her address a core need of Central Middle School students — the creation of a safe space to talk about the pressures of being teens. In January she was awarded a $500 Mix It Up grant to create a "teen dialogue" area on the second floor of the school's library. She furnished the area with a leather couch, a striped sofa, beanbag chairs with local college insignias, a television and VCR.
This week, two dialogue groups are using the space, one for 7th-grade girls and another for 6th-grade boys. The dialogue sessions are electives, part of the students' daily regimens of history, math and science classes.
For one session, Pouriraji's 7th-grade girls bound through the library and sprawl across the sofas and beanbags. Draping their limbs over each other, they settle in for discussion.
Already the 10 girls, in their second dialogue session with Pouriraji, have identified the cliques in their school: the popular kids, the jocks, the smart kids and the gangs. They've also set the ground rules: no names, no gossip and no jumping on the beanbags.
The girls share stories of conflicts over boys, over clothes and over their mothers, taking note of their differing opinions and responses. Shelby Lewis says a classmate teased her for days. The student insulted Shelby's mother, a tremendous offense that Shelby did not know how to handle. The conflict resolution skills she's learning in Pouriraji's class will help her negotiate rough spots in the future, she says.
"I wish we could do this every day," says Kayla Howard.
Perched atop beanbags in their dialogue session, Pouriraji's 6th-grade boys also discuss the rough spots. One boy says other students call him "dumb." Another says people ridicule the darkness of his skin. "Being judged is not fun," another student says.
Dekarlos Evers seems to speak for them all when he says, "This class should be mandatory."
'A Safe Space'
Back in North Carolina, John Fenner, director of Brevard's Center for Dialogue, has spent more than a decade helping adults and teens resolve conflicts stemming from racial tensions.
The need for such talk was obvious; shortly after Fenner moved to Brevard, the Ku Klux Klan marched through town. Fenner feels the town has come a long way since then, but old grudges languish stubbornly as young residents like Tyler struggle toward change.
Tyler's plan initially included students at rival Brevard, but student leaders there, bogged down with other activities, declined to participate. The dialogues at Rosman included 22 students, fewer than he'd initially hoped would participate but a start nonetheless.
Another of Tyler's adult allies, Fred Reidinger, introduced him to dialoguing through Youth Speak, a community dialogue group for teens. At Youth Speak, drugs, violence, race and unhealthy dating relationships were all on the table.
"The biggest problem is how do you create a safe space for all of them (to talk)," Reidinger says.
A group of Rosman students, taking a break from classes, gathers in one of the school's glossy-tabled conference rooms to discuss what brought them to the dialogues. They met twice a week for a month in art teacher Amy Schoenacher's paint-splattered classroom amid the acrylic, sculpture and watercolor works-in-progress.
With mild supervision from Schoenacher, the students found they were able to speak freely about topics too taboo for everyday conversation.
"I felt I was being listened to. ... (I)t felt like people were giving me input, but they weren't cutting me off or putting down what I had to say," says Katy Young, 16.
Participants say the dialogues have made them more compassionate, less likely to stereotype, more respectful of differences. They continue to meet in dialogue groups between school play rehearsals, sports and other after school activities.
"I believe the project was a success," Tyler says. "It was a first step toward getting rid of cliques and stereotyping at my school."

It's 2018 and now's the time to get your finances in order.
To help you and your family make all the right money moves next year, here's a financial game plan that could help you grow your 401(k), avoid financial ruin and adjust to the new tax rules signed into law by President Trump.
Just as a New Year's resolution to get fit can fail if you don't hit the gym, getting ahead financially is tough if you don't set up a plan and stick to it, says Dana Anspach, founder and CEO of Sensible Money, a wealth management firm in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Doing an annual financial check-up, she stresses, is only worthwhile if you use it as a jumping off point to "build good habits."
"It's figuring out the baby steps you can take that moves you and your money in the right direction," Anspach says. "Every family should put together a playbook for the year."
Here are steps to take to get you on the road to financial success.

The professional bodybuilders of today are mass monsters. Achieving that gigantic physique seems to be the new ideal that they strive towards. While we do admire the efforts that such kind of an achievement demands, it is a digression from what the bodybuilders of old perceived as ideal. Bigger is not always better- just ask Frank Zane.
New age bodybuilders have lost something that their predecessors venerated- aesthetics. Back when the sport started receiving a global audience, the goal was not only to bring the biggest physique on stage. They wanted it to have some aesthetic appeal. Today the big waist, distended midsection (abs notwithstanding) and thick muscles are all the rage.
Thankfully, you do not have to subscribe to this new Olympia ideal. The fact remains that the X-shaped physique – a barrel chest, small waist and defined quads- is still the most attractive physique.
Getting There
You can still get that awe-inspiring V-taper without the extended gut. From the get-go though, you have to strive towards keeping your waist small. When you consistently lift heavy weights, a thick waist becomes inconsequential. It's simply the body's way of adapting to the challenge. But if your volume is regulated to align with the goal of maintaining a small waist circumference, you will be on the right path.
Your diet has to be tweaked accordingly. The calories taken in should match those required for muscle maintenance and growth. An unregulated surplus might fuel size, but with a bigger midsection as a consequence. If you must bulk, take the clean approach.
Abdominal exercises have to feature in your weekly routine. Remember to target your obliques as well. Your gut should not be distended when doing the exercises. This will discourage the fascia from distending, and this will consequently avert the possibility of a gut that extends out.
Bent over row
Growing your lats will help your V-taper appear more dramatic. Routines that serve this end are abundant. Bent over rows are especially helpful. Big lats add width to your physique and help you appear more muscular. Needless to say, your pecs need to be sufficiently worked as well for a balanced look.
Your body fat percentage also needs to be reduced. Our bodies have a preference for storing fat in the midsection. Its often one of the last places where fat is lost. If you can reduce your body fat to sub-10% you will achieve that small waist-look.
Universally, the most attractive, symmetrical masculine look features a small waist. Whether you are a professional bodybuilder, or simply have a passion for fitness, wielding an incredible V-taper will make you stand out more.
I recommend these Fat Loss supplements.

This Workshop on Public-Private Partnerships (P3) will examine how local governments can work with private sector companies to expand the deployment and use of broadband services. The Trump administration has signaled a particular interest in P3s as a means of deploying infra-structure and Congress is considering legislation to promote P3s as well. Building partnerships among public, private and municipal entities is the key to connecting anchors.
1. What are P3s? – First, panelists will explore the broad-band P3 environment, describe the typical workings of a P3 mechanism for procurement and financing, and offer insights for anchors and public entities to advance their interests.
Moderator: Andrew Afflerbach, CTC Technology & Energy
Ashley Stelfox, CLIC
Waiching Wong, Infrastructure Advisory at IMG Rebel
Jeff Gavlinski, eX2 Technology
2. P3 Case Studies – The second session will examine specific case studies where parties have collaborated to deliver service where higher speed connectivity either did not or was not perceived to exist.
Moderator: Bob Collie, Parana River Group
John Burchett, Google Fiber

There are a few trends that historians will likely point to in their efforts to explain the political moment. One is that the far-right figured out how to organize on social media more effectively than other groups and how to make small protests seem like a large outcry. Another is that a flood of information allowed people to cherry-pick the information that suited their tastes. Yet another is how that same strategy applies to opinions: People can sign up just for the TV networks or social media accounts that they like.
All of those things, though, are offshoots of the most important trend: rampant partisanship.
New research from PRRI reinforces one aspect of the partisan divide that lies at the heart of many of the decisions and fights on Capitol Hill and in American culture.
According to the poll, about 23 percent of Americans see the policies of the Republican Party as moving the country in the right direction, compared to 29 percent who say the same of President Trump and 39 percent who say that of the Democratic Party. But nearly half of the country — 46 percent — says that Trump's policies pose a serious threat to the country. Thirty percent say the same of Republican policies, and 27 percent say the same of the Democrats' policies.
When we split this up by party, though, the divide grows much wider.
Among Republicans, two-thirds see Trump's policies as moving the country in the right direction. (Slightly fewer said the same of their own party, which is why the percentage among all Americans is lower for the party than the president.) More than half of Republicans see the Democrats' policies as posing a threat to the country.
More than half of Democrats say the same about Republican policies. Unsurprisingly, they also overwhelmingly see Trump's policies as a threat to the country, with three-quarters of Democrats saying that.
A bit more than half of the country identified as Democratic or Republican in the PRRI poll, with the rest identifying as independents. So at least a quarter of the country — half of the half that is partisan — sees the other party's policies as a serious threat to the nation.
Trump embodies much of the polarization, as is probably obvious from the graphs above. As with many other national polls, more people disapprove of Trump than approve, with more than 4 in 10 Americans disapproving of him strongly.
That we predicate that graph on "as with many other polls" suggests that this split is not new, which, of course, it isn't. So PRRI asked a related question: Might your opinion of Trump change? Among those who approve of Trump, more said that their opinion of him might change than said it wouldn't. (Fifty-eight percent of those who approve said that Trump might do something to lose their approval, about 24 percent of all respondents.) Six in 10 of those who disapprove say that their minds won't change.
Overall, those who don't see their opinions changing make up about 48 percent of the country; those who might change their minds make up about 43 percent.
The challenge for members of Congress is simple. Members of their party — people who vote in party primaries — support their party and broadly revile the other side's ideas. If you're Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and you know that Republicans trust the president's positions more than yours and see Democrats as a threat to the country, how are you going to navigate policymaking?
The way it's being navigated. The way it's been increasingly navigated in this polarized era.

The off-season is a great time to review rider performances, speculate on team changes, drool over the latest dream bikes being released, and take stock of everything that happened over the previous months. It's also a time for the UCI to discuss how to make the premier series of mountain bike racing even better.
They also brought back XC Eliminator. In the city. Because they couldn't polish a turd but they could turn it into yet another form of road racing. I'm sure it will be great…
Anyway, here is what the UCI have done to DH for 2017:
"In order to better protect the integrity of the course and therefore improve the quality of competition, the UCI Management Committee agreed the following changes for the Downhill events of the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano:
• To reduce the number of riders by increasing the number of points required to participate (from 30 to 40 points);
• To reduce the number of riders participating in the final (15 Women Elite and 20 Juniors);
• To have a separate DHI Women Junior event."
Now, I'd like to discuss each point in turn as I believe there to be merit to each of the changes, but first pay attention to their reasoning:
"In order to better protect the integrity of the course and therefore improve the quality of competition…"
We all know that DH courses deteriorate at a much faster rate when they're being raced on, just by virtue of the number of riders hitting the course over such a short period of time. Throw adverse weather into the mix, and obviously the integrity of the course is going to be affected.
I don't believe that any of these changes are sufficient to make a noticeable change to the track's integrity across a weekend, and it certainly won't affect the quality of competition when everyone has to race in the same conditions. Never mind that it is an Elite mountain bike race, where a few lumps and bumps are expected; if we wanted to see racing on smooth unchanging surfaces, we'd be watching road racing! So come on UCI, make changes if you must, but don't give us some bullshit reasoning!
On to the rule changes then:
1) Increasing the number of UCI points required to enter World Cups.
Logically, making the entry requirements higher to enter the races would reduce the number of riders able to race. In practice however this is highly unlikely to have the desired effect. Every rider at the pointy end of the field, bar those who missed significant portions of the previous season due to injury, will have enough points to race. As James Smurthwaite of Dirt noted: "there are still 389 men and 185 women eligible for World Cups".
Coupled with the fact that each national federation has the ability to award entry 3 riders who otherwise would not be eligible, the change in points criteria is unlikely to have significant effect. Similar effects were discussed last time there was a change to the points required in 2015.
2) To have a separate DHI Women Junior event.
At present there are between 3-7 junior female riders at each World Cup, so creating a separate event for them may seem in vain. However, in light of supporting equality in mountain biking it would only be fair, mirroring the introduction of the Junior Men class in 2010. With luck, the effects of the Junior Women class will mirror those of the men's class too, boosting entries and encouraging the next generation of young riders. An added bonus is that with each junior rider automatically qualifying for Finals, there is incentive for the larger teams to support junior riders due to the extra opportunity for coverage for sponsors. On the flip side, more junior entries doesn't really support the UCI's argument for reducing the total number of riders on the course…
3) To reduce the number of riders participating in the final (15 Women Elite and 20 Junior)
Undoubtedly the most contentious issue raised with these changes, Pinkbike conducted interviews with some major players on World Cup scene, from organisers and press to the riders themselves, to get their thoughts. Most of those interviewed agreed with the rule based on fact and expert opinion, although there was an argument raised for it being a sexist rule.
The salient point is this: the disparity in times between the top 10 Elite women and the rest of the field is too large to be ignored. For example at Leogang 2016 (chosen as it is a comparatively less physical and technical track), the time difference between the 1st and 20th place finisher was over 1 minute. By comparison, that time difference in the men's race between the same positions was 14 seconds. A minute long gap would have placed a rider in 82nd position.
It could be argued that reducing the number of women who qualify for Finals will have a detrimental effect on women's racing as a whole, however I think it will have the opposite effect. With fewer places available, the developing riders will be pushing harder to qualify. Of course, accidents and mechanicals happen in qualifying runs, and if you are not protected you will not qualify. That is racing!
A reduction in the number of qualifying riders will cease rewarding riders who may have scored enough points to enter the race, but do not have the necessary skills to compete at World Cup level. It would be far more beneficial to those riders to race in other series, such as the IXS Cup, which offer competitive racing on World Cup standard tracks, but a more open field. Once they have refined their race craft and regularly achieve top results at that level, they will be more prepared to race at World Cups and challenge the current top performers. This will make the racing more exciting to watch, which in turn will raise the profile of women's downhill as a whole.
The changes for the 2017 season are likely to reduce the number of riders at each round, although perhaps not by as many as was originally intended. Despite some dubious reasoning from the UCI, I think the changes are likely to bring in some improvements to the general standard of racing, and definite support for the next generation of female riders.
If the deterioration or tracks is truly an issue, perhaps they could look at reinstating the already brutal courses? Riders seem to prefer them, fans like to watch the racing on them, and track integrity would surely be less of an issue. We won't see this next year as the calendar has already been released, but it may be something to consider in future.
