Regularly scheduled programming
Thanks to Melanie's beautiful posting last week, I have a nice backlog of stuff to catch up on here.
I finished the 'Ylva' shell from Elsebeth Lavold's Second Viking Knits collection.
I am really happy with how it looks and fits. Her designs are always so simple and elegant. I shortened it about 2 inches, as I find she likes a longer length than I like, and I am very happy I did that. I also knitted this yarn at a tighter gauge than she recommends. I actually knitted it on size 3 needles at something like 6 spi, because I got a fabric that felt substantial enough to wear decently. As a result, it's probably not as light and airy as intended, but it doesn't sag or gap.
The label says this yarn is machine washable, so I turned it inside out and washed it in a mesh bag to block it. My conclusion is that I DON'T recommend machine washing this yarn. It shed. Not terribly, but enough that I had to brush off little fuzzy poofs when I laid it out. I am not sure what component of the yarn was shedding off, but I will handle it gently from now on.
I didn't find any errors in the pattern for the size I knitted (because I was going down significantly on the gauge I knitted the 38 inch size).
Casting about for what my next project will be, since I only have the afghan on the needles now, I swatched a bit. These are two swatches for the scalloped jacket on the cover of Lace Style.
The yarn on the left is Elann Sierra Aran (wool and alpaca), and the yarn on the right is something obscure and discontinued called 'Handsome Harry's Hanks' which I won in a contest on Wendy's blog a few years ago. The two swatches couldn't have been more different. The Elann yarn was soft and drapey with a little shine. The Harry's Hanks yarn is very lightweight, totally matte-finish, and no drape whatsoever. It's also a two-ply with a very bold twist. I decided it just didn't lend itself to this pattern although it would probably make a really great cardigan if I found the right pattern. The Sierra Aran would probably work very well in the pattern. I was about to start that when I fell down the Bee Shawl rabbithole. I will be starting that later this week, like approximately a million other knitters…
I also had thoughts, before the Bee shawl mugged me, of doing something with the tussah silk I spun last June. I swatched a little on size 4 needles.
I was getting about 6.5 stitches and 8 rows per inch, and the fabric was nice, it could also go to 7 spi I think without becoming stiff. I have about 1300 yards of it (14 ounces) and no idea what to do with it, although I have a couple of ideas. It wants to be a sweater with some drape. What do you think?
On the spinning front, I spun and plyed a pretty carded batt that I bought from Winderwood Farm on eBay. It is bluefaced leicester, merino, silk, and angora, I could not resist that combination.
I am not an expert in drumcarded batts, so I was surprised when I unrolled it to see the underside.
The outside was sort of magenta and wine, and I am sure it was the angora. The underneath side was purple and yellow, and I'm sure that was the merino and BFL. The silk was a smattering of strands of white throughout.
Spun up, it wasn't as soft as I expected, and I really really don't think I managed the colors well, although I am not sure what else I could have done. I stripped the batt lengthwise and spun it so that I would end up with about a DK weight 2 ply that was a bit lofty. It was easy and fun to spin, but I feel like the yarn I got is rather, well, ugly.
It is about 165 yards and 2.5 ounces, and I have no idea what to do with it. I tried to soften it and fuzz it a little by whacking it on the side of my house while it was wet, I am not sure that made any difference other than to leave some tufts of angora stuck to the bricks. Maybe it will end up a Dulaan hat next year or something. Sigh.
The most fun thing that happened is that – well, let me back up. Remember this? Six grams of fine-spun cashmere that became a hopeless tangle when I tried to ply them? Well, our own Jan saw a challenge in that photo. Both she and Sam love to untangle messes like that (I have no idea why) and she asked me to send her my lump of cashmere for a rescue attempt. I figured this was the kind of insanity that didn't harm others, so I indulged her. She sent me a little photo essay of her work.
What I got in the mail from her was:
My cashmere (which turned out to be 94 yards – imagine that, 6 grams and 94 yards!), and some lovely silk/wool to ply with it. Wow! Thank you Jan!
Now to figure out how to ply off of a toilet paper roll!

I don't think your magenta yarn is ugly! I think it's BEAUTIFUL! I love the colour combination of the soft reddish purple with the flecks of yellow. And I love the look of the ply too! I think it's great.
Also, that cashmere and silk combination is going to be delicious!
July 17, 2007 7:35 pm
Wowza, I wish I had your gift for knitting things that fit to a T. Ylva is lovely! Everything about it is so perfect.
I have also been sucked into the Bee Shawl vortex but I won't start until MS3 is done.
The yarn from the bat should knit up with a nice tweed effect – you might be surprised and really like it.
Jan, I admire your patience and perseverance, and your gift wrapping too.
Jan permalinkJuly 18, 2007 1:38 pm
Ylva is beautiful. It looks smashing on you! I love what you saw in the pattern and then made happen. The tussah swatch has so much going for it–texture, hand, and sheen. With all that yardage, you should get something very nice to wear. Your berry-heather yarn will make something cozy, warm, and pretty.
Thanks for the compliments on the untangling. Truth is, it was pretty easy. Our Prudence has a saintly endowment in anger management and gentle fiber handling skills. There was not a single loop yanked into a knot! I ply off tp rolls by dropping them into mixing bowls on the floor, and letting them bounce around inside the bowl as they feed. I set the bowls wide apart to deter any volunteer efforts from the singles to ply behind my feeding hand. I ply the little stuff verr-r-r-ry slow (dreamy music helps). Whatever you do will end up beautiful!
Diane permalinkJuly 20, 2007 10:18 pm
Put that handspun yarn you said was ugly away for a awhile–archive it. And then look at it a year from now. It won't look ugly, it will look beautiful, because it IS!

What wonderful knitting and spinning you do!! Love it all, Caroline!! 🙂

Ford to go ahead with lighter vehicles despite fall in fuelprices.
Mena auto sales 'to soar 40pc to hit 5.5m units'
DUBAI, November 20, 2014
Vehicle sales in the Middle East and Africa are expected to soar 40 per cent to 5.5 million vehicles by 2020, according to Bill ford, executive chairman of US-based automaker Ford Motors.
The company's drive to make its sport utility vehicles (SUV) and other models lighter to save fuel and boost performance will not be delayed by a recent drop in oil prices, Bill Ford said on Wednesday.
The No 2 US automaker this month started production of a redesigned, aluminium-intensive F-150 full-size pickup truck -- its key profit generator. It has said it could incorporate more of the light metal into its models in the future.
Asked whether a plunge in oil prices -- Brent fell to more than a four-year low of below $77 per barrel last week -- gave the company second thoughts about all the investment to make pickup trucks lighter, Ford told Reuters: "No, not at all."
"I think our customers ... will find a better truck because of it, not just a more fuel-efficient truck," he said, standing next to a bright yellow Ford Mustang GT convertible on the 112th floor of Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest tower, in Dubai.
"And on other products, we will continue to lightweight but it won't only be aluminium. We will be using other materials as well that will lightweight our vehicles," he said.
The F-150, the best-selling vehicle in the US market for 32 straight years, has contributed the lion's share of Ford's global pre-tax profit, and its latest launch is closely watched by analysts and investors.
Ford is in the UAE to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic Mustang sports car, which was cut in six pieces and taken up by lifts to be reassembled at an outside terrace of the Dubai skyscraper.
The carmaker is betting on future growth in oil wealthy Gulf Arab countries, where low, subsidized petrol prices fuel sales of gas-guzzling SUVs, planning to bring 25 new products to the Middle East in the next two years.
The UAE, the second largest Arab economy after Saudi Arabia, is the biggest market for Mustang cars outside of North America. The new F-150 is expected to head to the region in early 2015 after the December sale launch in North America.
Asked whether it made sense for the company to set up a new assembly plant in the Middle East or North Africa, Ford said: "Perhaps but it is too early for us to make that determination. We are certainly looking at it."
Ford, unlike rival General Motors, does not plan to set up a formal corporate venture fund to invest in cutting-edge future mobility technologies, but rather will continue investing through a private venture capital fund with several partners.
"We certainly looked at going that route but I think it is absolutely a wrong thing to do," Ford said, adding that venture capital firms he visited in Silicon Valley pointed out to him that almost all venture capital effort by a corporation fails.
"I believe our role is best as a quick adaptor of new technology, to be very nimble, to realize who's the best out there, who's newest to market and then go with them," he said. – Reuters

Nothing's worse for your app suffer than endless demands for ratings but, thankfully, those days might ultimately be over. If "youve been" detest those pop-ups, you'll be able to make it so that you never have to see one again.
Since before we are beginning playing Candy Crush, app evaluation stimulates have been a Wild West of kinds with no organize rules for developers to follow. They could hit us up for ratings as frequently as they delighted which can be thwart for consumers after the fifth pop-up in as many days.
Apple started to clamp down on the continue examine prompts earlier this year with a new ratings API for developers, introduced together with the iOS 10.3 beta. The brand-new tool was part of an modernise of its consideration of the report plan, which also passed developers the ability to respond to user comments immediately but it wasn't mandatory.
New language in the App Store Review Guidelines spotted by 9to5 Mac proposes the star-thirsty pop-ups will be handled differently with the brand-new App Store redesign coming with iOS 11. Now, developers will have to use the API for their app review protocols no matter what, instead of being able to set up their own custom-built structures.
The API could actually make it easier for customers to plunge some stars on their favorite apps, who were able to make them more likely to leave a positive review. It allows developers to request ratings within their apps utilizing high standards Apple-approved review motivate message, rather than being redirected to the App Store like the old-time structure. Check it out below 😛 TAGEND
Got my first iOS 10.3+ app critique modal. A straight up suffer. pic.twitter.com/ d1mzBhu0ux
Joe Fabisevich (@ mergesort) May 16, 2017
Developers will only be allowed to ping users for ratings three times a year, and formerly the app has been reviewed, it can't present the content again for another year, even after major updates.
And if "youve been" detest the review entreaties? You'll now be able to shut them off wholly with a new option in your Settings. All the app fun, with none of the overbearing is necessary to validation.

The term "power of attorney" is a general reference to a legal document that delegates power from one individual (the principal) to another person (the agent). The actual authority that is granted in the power of attorney will vary based upon the particular terms of the document itself. A power of attorney may be limited (such as to authorize the agent to execute documents on behalf of the principal to conclude an identified transaction) or general (broad or unlimited powers to act on behalf of the principal). The power of attorney may be for health care or for financial and business purposes. The ability of the agent to use a power of attorney for a particular purpose will be directly related to whether the action is authorized in the power of attorney. The power of attorney will often include a clause to make it "durable," meaning it will not terminate upon the incapacity of the person granting the power of attorney.
The two most commonly used powers of attorney in Idaho are the durable power of attorney for health care and the durable general power of attorney for property and financial affairs. The Idaho legislature has adopted a standard form for both of these powers of attorney. The Idaho health care power of attorney form was updated effective July 1, 2007, and the new Idaho statutory power of attorney form was adopted effective July 1, 2008. If you have powers of attorney signed prior to these dates they remain valid, but may not be as comprehensive as necessary or appropriate under current law. In addition, your financial institution or brokerage firm may have its own standard form of power of attorney that it will require be executed to authorize the agent to access the account with the institution.
The goal in executing the powers of attorney would be to identify the person(s) who have authority to make medical decisions and to handle financial and business affairs on behalf of the principal in the event of illness or incapacity. The person identified as agent in a power of attorney may also have statutory priority in the event a guardianship or conservatorship proceeding over the principal becomes necessary. It is important to consider naming a succession of agents in the document if the primary agent cannot serve. For a professional or business owner, it may be appropriate for the power of attorney to include particular authority or power based upon the nature of the profession or business.
The risk in delegating such powers (particularly in a general financial or property power of attorney) is the potential for abuse even if capacity of the principal is not in question. In selecting the agents in the power of attorney, it is critical to identify person(s) who are generally diligent, trustworthy, and have the ability or skill to make the decisions being delegated to them. If you authorize the agent to act while still competent and actually enable the agent to assist with the delegated powers, it is strongly recommended that you monitor the conduct and decisions of the agent to minimize potential for misappropriation or abuse. The agent under a general power of attorney will potentially have the ability to expend, transfer, or encumber assets, even if such transactions are not legally appropriate for the principal. There is a difference between the technical authority under a power of attorney to undertake the transaction and the propriety of such transaction for the principal. The power of attorney can include a "springing" clause that limits the ability of the agent to use the power of attorney unless the principal has been determined to be incapacitated or other identified conditions are satisfied.
The power of attorney will automatically terminate upon the death of the principal. Upon death of the principal, all power of the agent under the power of attorney ceases and the estate of the principal must be administered by the personal representative in an estate proceeding.

Ginny Blackmore has teamed up with British Grammy Award-winning producer and songwriter Al Shux on her new single Under My Feet which was released to iTunes earlier this week.
It's been just two years since the 29 year old Aucklander scored a breakout hit with her debut single Bones; a song that peaked at #1 in her homeland in 2013, and reached #40 on Billboard's Adult chart. Since then, she's been signed to US label Epic Records, added a second New Zealand chart-topper to her tally (the Stan Walker duet, Holding On) and penned songs for Christina Aguilera, Adam Lambert and Nicole Scherzinger. Not bad at all for a relative newbie.
Ginny is now gearing up for the release of her debut studio album Over The Moon which will be released on 20 November and, as well as featuring Empire State of Mind helm Shux, also promises collaborations with Rob Wells, Aeon Manahan and Alan Nglish.
"Under My Feet is a shameless love song," she explains about the record's latest cut. "It is about two people who are forever linked to each other, no matter where they are in the world."
An uplifting sentiment, and one that's matched by Blackmore's warm, nuanced vocals which are layered over a backdrop of tempo-shifting percussion beats, allowing her to showcase the full scope of her effortless and impressive range.
A terrific pop turn indeed and one that leaves us very excited for her upcoming album.
Listen to Under My Feet below and here's the iTunes link.

An Explanation For The High Foreign Direct Investment In China
The FDI is high because Chinese are incorporating holding companies abroad which are subsequently used to own newly PRC-incorporated companies. This gives the illusion of foreign investment. This set-up should be widely advertised and promoted to even more Chinese businessmen by the US and the EU so that the Chinese government receives fewer tax revenues in the future. In addition, the US and the EU should impose high tariffs on Chinese products and services and stop Chinese immigration since they don't have honesty, integrity or morality.

The world has a number of truly spectacular places and many of them are facing destruction or at least some fundamental change that will alter the very essence of what made it special. We see this with the ISIS destruction of Palmyra in Syria, the rapid bleaching of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and sadly in Tibet as the Chinese industrial machine continues to grow.Tibet Tibet is special as in a country that is largely Atheist. It is hugely Buddhist and it seems that most of the Tibetans go out of their way to practice what they preach - making it a special province in China. The rich culture and tradition - makes Tibet a place like no other. Tibet is home to the world famous Potala Palace- once home to the Dalai Llama. The Dalai Lama now seeks refuge in India due to the political and religious instability surrounding Tibet in China. It also serves as the seat of the Tibetan government. Once thriving with monks - these days there aren't too many due to stringent registration procedures being required by the Chinese government. Some monasteries in Tibet used to be home to as many as 10,000 monks but now roughly 400 remain. Thus, the cultural landscape of the province is changing rapidly.SEE: Nepal Trekking: How one South African found so much more than she went looking forYou never forget your first glimpse of Potala Palace ?? #travels #nationalgeographic #architecture #astonishing #iconic #historical #magicalplacesA post shared by Matt MacDonald (@leica_nikon_abroad) on Jun 12, 2017 at 9:38am PDT Does Tibet make the Global Peace Index?

Unfortunately there is no way around this. The onus is on the tour operator to provide you with the necessary permits, so you do not have to stress too much about them.Getting there:You have 2 options either Flying or by train. Flying direct makes sense if you are under time pressure but be prepared to spend top dollar – a flight can set you back north of R13,000! I opted for the train from Shanghai but it's a 2-day trip there and another 2-day trip back – not for the faint of heart, or those that do not have spare time. Get out of Lhasa:The Himalayas are on Lhasa's doorstep so be sure to choose a tour that will let you see them. One can choose to do a day trip to the Everest Base Camp or numerous other altitude-defying peaks in the region. The altitude will take a day or two to get used to, so do not drink too much and make sure you eat enough spicy food - garlic and pepper will be your friends! Choosing a tour:I am not a big fan of organized tours as they take away the feeling of adventure as every movement is controlled by an operator. All hope is not lost in Tibet. Although, I think a number of agencies respect a traveler's desire to explore a city independently. When booking a tour, make sure you read the reviews to ascertain whether you will have the opportunity to explore a little on your own. Remember that this will only be possible in Lhasa as the rest of Tibet is largely in the iron-fist of Chinese tourism control. Google is your friend when it comes to choosing the best tour operator for you. If Tibet is a destination on your radar, now really is the time to get there. As it is, there are skyscrapers being erected near the city and massive highways and railway lines being drilled through the mountains. Development is good for a country but in this case, I feel that what makes Tibet special is on the verge of being lost.Medieval Buddhist Village, Nako, near Tibet border at 3600m altitude. They grow GMO green peas here and a few sturdy and hardy trees (since recently only) as nothing can normally grow at this altitude. This is needed for oxygen, reduces landslides and gives much needed shade. + the landslide looks stunning!

Catalent Pharma , the leading global provider of advanced delivery technologies and development solutions for drugs, biologics and consumer health products, welcomed Symbiomix Therapeutics' announcement that the U.S. FDA has approved Solosec™ (secnidazole) 2g oral granules for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV) in adult women. [1]
Catalent began working with Symbiomix in 2014 to improve the manufacturing process, and developed a scalable and robust method centered on its expertise in fluid bed coating technology, which is being utilized in manufacturing operations.
Solosec™, a next-generation, 5-nitroimidazole antibiotic with enhanced pharmacokinetic properties, is the first and only single-dose oral therapy for BV, the most common gynecologic infection in the U.S. [1,2] Following FDA approval on September 15, 2017, Solosec™ is expected to be available to patients in early 2018 with at least 10 years of U.S. market exclusivity.
"The FDA's approval of this new drug marks the culmination of many years of hard work, expertise and dedication by Symbiomix, with support from Catalent's formulation development team in Somerset," commented Jonathan Arnold, Catalent's vice president and general manager, Drug Delivery Solutions. "We have been able to leverage our skills in fluid bed coating at manufacturing scale to assist in bringing this first-of-its-kind therapy to the market, quickly and effectively."
BV is the most prevalent gynecologic infection in the U.S., affecting 21 million women ages 14 to 49. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), if left untreated, BV increases the risk of transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, including chlamydia, trichomaniasis, gonorrhea, herpes and HIV, and increases the risk of pre-term birth and low birth weight.
"Our partnership with Catalent was pivotal in the development of the first and only single-dose oral therapy for BV," said Robert Jacks, President & CFO of Symbiomix. "Symbiomix is focused on bringing innovative therapies to market for prevalent gynecologic infections that can have serious health consequences, and we are thrilled to provide women with a new, effective treatment option that can be taken any time of day."
Catalent provided services to Symbiomix at its 260,000-square foot facility in Somerset, which houses state-of-the-art development laboratories, as well as clinical and commercial manufacturing plants for oral dose forms.

Have you ever been to a Raver Tots party? No, well it is exactly what it sounds like, a rave… just for toddlers!
We got the amazing opportunity to host our very first Raver Tots event on the 10th February…. and as you can see from the video – everyone had a blast, including us at Viva!
Raver Tots is actually a very popular and well-known event here in the UK and attracts thousands of families from across the UK all wanting to hit that all-important dance floor. Each event is usually headlined by some of the country's biggest name DJ's – and our raver for tot's party was no different, with the fantastic slipmatt taking centre stage playing the best in old school rave, Happy Hardcore, Drum & Bass and House and Garage.
The event was held in our main theatre with its spectacular lighting and sound system plus a generous bar and a stage – we knew this would make it perfect for parents to relax and enjoy watching their little ones having the time of their lives. The main theatre was transformed from its usual cabaret style layout into a huge dance area in order to accommodate everyone – it wasn't just the "tots" that were having an indoor party, the grownups couldn't resist either! And of course, what's a true rave without some face paints, some balloons, and some multi-coloured glow sticks!
We are pleased to announce that Raver Tots will return to Viva bigger & better with even more activities and things to do for families on the 7th April 2018!
We also have several other dates lined up later on in the year, so you can expect to have a sensational summer right here at Viva!

In the last post: I'd gotten the flu but decided to make the trip from Rome to Florence anyway. On the train, I got sicker and sicker...
I was ill the entire trip and spent much of it in the bathroom. Lovely.
It only took us 1.5 hours to get to Florence. As we approached the station, I headed back to the luggage racks for my bag. My huge black suitcase was gone – along with all of my clothes, my shoes, my makeup, my books, my computer cables, my converter… everything. It was all gone.
I searched the entire train. It was not there.
There are two possibilities: someone followed me on the train and took it off just as the train was leaving in Rome or someone moved it to another car and then disembarked in Florence with it.
Either way, I had nothing. Just my passport, my wallet, my computer, and a book. My 5 year journal was gone. My contact lenses were gone. My work. Books about Austria and Rome and Florence. All kinds of stuff that would be of NO USE to anyone else. I hope whoever took it likes to travel. Bastard.
I talked with the police and filed a report with the train company. But they all seemed unsurprised; they all just shook their heads and complained about the "immigrants."
I wish I had a lovely, tidy conclusion to this story, but I don't. I never saw any of my stuff again. I didn't get any of the work done that I needed to do on that trip. But I will say this: I came home a smarter traveler.
Tips from My Worst Trip:
1. Avoid traveling when you are sick. Mrs. Overbearing was clearly sick. She never should have been on that plane. I was really sick – and not at my best. I should not have gotten on that train. Not only did I risk infecting all of those other people, but I also was not able to look out for my own personal safety. Thankfully I was only robbed.
2. Eurostar tickets -- and other travel plans -- can be changed. I was too sick to think to make the inquiries, but I could have changed those tickets and stayed in Rome another day or two.
3. Watch your baggage. This is true everywhere. This could have happened to me anywhere. But someone else is wearing all of my cute clothes because I didn't watch my bag carefully.
4. Get travel insurance. Lost luggage. Stolen property. It is a lot cheaper than replacing your stuff if it goes missing.
Sometimes in a foreign country we forget our common sense. I would never have left home if I'd been that sick here. And I certainly would not have gotten on a train to travel across the country. But feeling the pressure of time and itinerary and feeling so out of sorts, I did not change my plans. And I think that's the greatest lesson learned. I could have found another pensione -- and changing hotel rooms would have served me well.

there goes my alligator
right after halloween last year i asked the little what she wanted to be next year. she said ALLIGATOR ! i have no idea where this impulse came from but i was happy that it was an alligator rather than a princess so i smiled. i said that i would check with her again before halloween time and lo and behold she hadn't changed her mind. ALLIGATOR ! RO-AR !
i looked, but knew i wasn't going to find a costume that i liked - they were all bright green, or looked more like dragons. so of course i made one. in parts. little by little. it took a couple of weeks. if you follow me on instagram you saw the progress.... and the result ?
the most fun part really was the tail. it was HUGE. of course i knew that she wouldn't really wear the head for long - i bribed her with potential candy consumption so she'd let me photshoot at home. she did wear the hands for a long time - until she got too hot... so in the end i was part alligator too :
i'd be fine if she wants to be a ghost or mummy next year. heh heh. but of course her wish will be my command. even if it's a princess [although i will lobby hard against that].
happy halloween. hope you all had fun ! the little is overjoyed with her candy haul. and she chewed gum for the first time.... !!!

Brutal Prospects
July 12, 2010 at 4:18 am 2 comments
The last time I struggled so much to fall asleep because I was too hot was when I was living in this unairconditioned sweatbox luxurious cottage affectionately known as Breaker #3 on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where I slept every single night in the star fish position to minimize sweat accumulation and with all of our windows and doors wide open. Running here was awesome in that the Outer Banks are literally a series of giant sand bars (read: not a single hill!) but had to occur at 5:00am or after dark to beat the humidity. Maybe Van's not so bad in the heat and I just need to stop complaining and let my body get used to it? Not before I write a whole post bitching about it.
Maybe this week's longish run was karmic payback for how I pridefully waxed poetic about all my "progress" last week, but this morning's 16k-turned-17km run out to Prospect Point and back felt so brutal!
First, rewind to Thursday where the clinic met for a little chat with Dr. Aaron Case about injury prevention and some procrastination in the air-conditioned store before heading out for a 10k in the evening sun. It was still hot, but this hilly loop along Angus and MacDonald felt pretty good- certainly better than Wednesday's sauna-fest 10k around the seawall! It was a great route for the night, as it had some long shady portions and several homes had thoughtfully put sprinklers on their lawns to cool us off.
Today's route, designed by Dave
Back to today- this morning's run started well enough, as I set out with hockey all-star Brittany and previous marathon clinic instructor Angela, who was just joining us to 2nd Beach Pool in her 29km training run for her FIFTH IRONMAN. No big deal. Angela had some great insight into training, notably the importance of building your distance, not your speed, on the long runs to be able to recover thoroughly, and ensured we maintained about a 5:30 pace. Although I had planned on skipping the walks today, we agreed on '20 and 1s', as Angela noted the heat was going to be a factor. It was definitely not as hot today as earlier this week, but I started feeling a little nauseous shortly after we parted ways with Angela. Although Brittany and I had step-by-step directions we somehow managed to lose track of the route in Stanley Park and run an extra km en route to the Point. The benefit to this was we were able to join a pace group (3:45 I think?) that had managed to successfully follow directions. I latched on to this group and decided to join in their 10 and 1s as I was really struggling.
During today's run a lot of questions were running through my mind, prominently, "am I copping out right now?" as my pace dropped and I began taking frequent walk breaks. It sure didn't feel like it at the time, but where does the line blur between adjusting your goals due to conditions and how you feel, and slacking because it got hard all of a sudden? I try to focus on small victories and was trying to be proud for just getting the distance in, telling myself that 'most people are still in bed right now"…. but why do I derive my feelings of accomplishment from what OTHER people are doing- running is all about personal improvement, right?
Phew, this is a long post. I ended up back at the store for an even 17.09k, with a 5:43 av pace- more shuffling than running I think! I seriously felt like I was going to be sick! The past couple days I haven't felt like eating at all (that is absolutely the first time in my life I have ever said that) and I think maybe my lack of fuel in the tank caught up to me today? Or maybe I'm just a huge slacker for thinking I couldn't power through? OR maybe it was just a rough one and can file it away in the "bad day" folder?
Either way, I enjoyed a nice post run lying in the grass stretching sesh with some clinic members, and found another maritimer in the group- what up Laurie! Sidenote: Dear Breakfast Club; please return to running, as I was lonely and hungry meandering home alone with no brunch in my tummy. That is all.

Road to energy dominance will lead through Alaska. Some new developments in the Great White North show that America's road towards global Energy Dominance in the oil and gas sector will inevitably travel through Alaska. With a party-line, 13-10 vote on Wednesday, Republicans on the Senate Energy Committee have given new life to the possibility of opening up the northernmost sliver of the gigantic Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) to exploration for oil and natural gas. The vote, led by Senate Energy Chairman Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) is the latest skirmish in the forty-year battle over whether this sensitive part of Alaska's North Slope should be made available for resource development. "For many of us, we believe that [ANWR] is one of the best places that we can go for responsible development, and we should have done this some time ago," Murkowski said in the wake of the vote. Sen. Murkowski, in pursuing this goal, is carrying on the legacy of her father, former Alaska Sen. Frank Murkowski, who made several similar attempts during his 21 years in the U.S. Senate.
"Long way betwixt and between." The U.S. House on Thursday passed a tax cut package. Like all but 13 Republicans, Alaska Congressman Don Young voted for the bill. "There's some people saying it's not so good, but overall if the actuarial figures are good, it'll be about $3,000 in every tax-paying family's pocket, that they didn't have before," Young said after the vote. "That's how much the cut's going to be." Democrats say the House bill gives and outsized tax cut to the wealthy. A fact sheet issued by the Democratic National Committee says 11 percent of middle-income Alaska households would face a tax increase, of $600 on average. The figure comes from a report by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a left-leaning think tank. The House bill does not include opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling. Young says the plan is to pass ANWR in the Senate version of the bill, and then fight for it in the conference committee, where the two chambers negotiate their differences and write a final version. "I expect the House to concede to the Senate on the ANWR provisions and become a reality," Young said. "Again, though, I want to warn people don't go to the bank right away, because it's a long ways betwixt and between."
How many zeros in a trillion? Earlier this autumn, Norway's oil fund reached the stunning value of $1 trillion. Built on transfer of oil revenue from May 1996, the fund is today the world's largest sovereign wealth fund is supposed to secure pensions for generations to come. The fund has invested in some 9,000 companies in 77 countries around the world. In value, the fund owns 1 percent of all listed companies worldwide. Now, Norges Bank, who manage the investments, is shocking the petroleum market by recommending the removal of oil stocks from the fund's benchmark index. In a letter to the Ministry of Finance on Thursday, the bank writes, "In the Bank's view, this will make the government's wealth less vulnerable to a permanent drop in oil and gas prices." The letter informs that the vulnerability of government wealth to a permanent drop in oil and gas prices will be reduced if the fund is not invested in oil and gas stocks, and advise removing these stocks from the fund's benchmark index. Norges Bank underlines in a press release that this advice is based exclusively on financial arguments and does not reflect any view on the sustainability of the oil and gas sector.
It's going to be a busy winter for ConocoPhillips. The company that has led exploration into the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska west of the existing North Slope oil fields is heading back into the federal lands to drill four more greenfield wells early in 2018, according to spokeswoman Natalie Lowman. Last January ConocoPhillips announced the Willow discovery in the NPR-A that the company's Alaska leaders believe contains 300 million barrels of recoverable oil and is capable of producing up to 100,000 barrels per day with the right production and processing facilities. With another exploration well planned for state acreage recently added to the Colville River Unit just east of the NPR-A, the five wells make for the company's largest North Slope winter exploration program since 2002, Lowman said. "There's three to help us further appraise Willow and Putu and then this other one that we're calling Stony Hill," she said further. The Putu well could be ConocoPhillips' last chance at developing a prized chunk of state land around the Native village of Nuiqsut just south of the company's Alpine oil field in the Colville River Unit. It's on the southern edge of the Pikka Unit, which holds the 1.2 billion barrel-plus Nanushuk oil prospect that operator Armstrong Energy just sold to Australia-based producer Oil Search Ltd.
From the Washington Examiner's Daily on Energy – Alaska LNG gets some help from DC.
FEDS, CHAMBER START NATURAL GAS EXPORT INITIATIVE: The U.S. Trade and Development Bank and the Chamber of Commerce launched a new joint energy initiative to promote U.S. natural gas exports Friday. Public-private partnership: The federal trade promotion agency, the Chamber of Commerce, the 27th World Gas Conference 2018, and LNG Allies, announced the U.S. Gas Infrastructure Exports Initiative at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's headquarters in Washington. Expanding natural gas exports has been a top priority of Trump's pro-growth energy dominance agenda. How it will assist exports: The trade agency will deploy a range of tools, including reverse trade missions, feasibility studies, training, technical assistance, and the Global Procurement Initiative to accelerate and promote the export of liquefied natural gas. The agency is working with the energy industry and the government "to facilitate new gas infrastructure exports, including LNG exports through the development of gas-related infrastructure in key LNG receiving countries." Helping U.S. allies: Karen Harbert, head of the Chamber's Global Energy Institute, tweeted Friday that "US natural gas will help our allies around the world be #Energy Strong."
Employment Down 1.3 Percent, Unemployment Rate Unchanged. Alaska's total employment was down by an estimated 1.3 percent in October compared to October 2016, a loss of about 4,100 jobs. While the state continues to shed jobs, over-the-year losses have gradually slowed in 2017. The largest loss during the current downturn was -2.6 percent in fall 2016. Oil and gas employment was down by 7.8 percent, followed by construction (-7.2 percent). The only industries to add jobs were health care (2.0 percent) and local government (0.2 percent), which includes public schools and tribal government. Federal employment was down 1.3 percent and state government was down 2.0 percent.

Americans are getting our first glimpse of how we bought performed.
On Wednesday, Congress launched a few of the three,000 Facebook advertisements and Twitter accounts created by Russian operatives to sway American voters.
These disturbing messages, seen by up to 126 million Americans, increase thorny questions on Silicon Valley's duty for vetting the data it publishes. Beyond Washington, it leaves all of us who use social media to sustain with pals, share pictures and observe information questioning: How'd the Russians get to me?
The brief reply is Silicon Valley made it very straightforward.
Facebook's high lawyer informed Congress on Wednesday the Russian effort was "fairly rudimentary." Here's what he meant: Ever discover a Facebook advert that is eerily related to one thing you have been speaking about? Had an advert for a pair of sneakers observe you across the Internet for every week? Or seen an advert that claims your pal "liked" it?
That's the often creepy handiwork of promoting tech, which covertly tracks a lot of what you do online-and then sells entry to you to the very best bidder. We're simply now waking up to the truth that not solely conventional entrepreneurs and legit political campaigns are shopping for in. It's additionally Russian trolls hoping to manipulate you.
You have been in Russia's crosshairs in case you preferred the Facebook web page of Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. Same goes for individuals who mentioned they have been followers of Martin Luther King, Jr. Russians even focused individuals who shared sufficient stuff concerning the South that Facebook tagged them being involved in "Dixie."
There's no means to inform in case you personally noticed a Russian put up or tweet. I might definitely like to know, however Facebook thus far hasn't disclosed to people in the event that they have been uncovered to posts from a troll farm known as the Internet Research Agency. (Ads paid for by that group made up the majority of a trove revealed on Wednesday.)
Facebook lawyer Colin Stretch on Wednesday informed Congress the social community had notified Facebook members broadly concerning the difficulty, however it will be "much more challenging" to establish and notify particular individuals.
Facebook's promoting programs are largely automated, so no human had to verify earlier than these advertisements went on-line. Often they originated from teams with legitimate-sounding names, equivalent to "Donald Trump America." Facebook and Twitter have now taken down posts they believe to have "inauthentic" Russian roots and instituted new overview programs. Legislators are threatening new legal guidelines that might additional rein them in.
Of course, you did not have to click on on these posts, or imagine what they have been pitching. But social media tech is especially good at making messages irresistible. The Russian trolls did not have to spend a lot cash on these advertising methods to have an effect thanks to precision targeting-and free promotion for buzzy content material.
The most simple software they used is known as focused promoting. By watching what you and your mates share and do on-and off-the social community, Facebook slots you into classes. Some are demographic (age, state, gender) and others are based mostly on stuff you've "liked" and the assumptions Facebook attracts about your pursuits. Facebook will truly present you what it thinks of you, in case you click on right here. (It additionally enables you to edit the classes; doing so may make its advert focusing on much more efficient.)
The Internet Research Agency purchased advertisements focused to individuals with various standards, starting from homosexual and lesbian teams to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Russian brokers additionally used an advert method based mostly on monitoring and following sure individuals across the Web. For instance, in case you sooner or later clicked on a troll web site masquerading as respectable, the location's tech may establish your internet browser and permit the trolls to "re-target" advertisements to you elsewhere across the internet. On Facebook, Russian operatives used a software known as Custom Audiences to goal individuals in such methods.
Most efficient of all: Russian trolls used celebrities-and our personal friends-to get to us. For free. For instance, in April of 2016, rapper Nicki Minaj retweeted a message about an upsetting capturing from the twitter deal with @Ten_GOP. That account seemed prefer it was the Tennessee Republican Party, but it surely was truly a Russian troll involved in inflammatory content material. Minaj's put up was retweeted and "liked" greater than 24,600 instances. (For the document, the precise Tennessee Republican Party informed The Washington Post that that they had contacted Twitter thrice about their impersonator drawback).
You or your mates might need shared considered one of these posts on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest or past, which the trade calls "organic" promotion. These posts reached far more than the 10 million individuals who noticed paid advertisements. On Facebook alone, they discovered their means in entrance of the eyes of 126 million Americans.

Today on vectors to join the localizer 29R at KTOA I experienced a weird bug.
I was flown through the localizer, and all indications looked normal. The HSI centered up and glideslope came alive. Once the localizer hit full deflection after flying through the course, the HSI flagged the localizer and glideslope. I assumed the vectors back to the approach course would fix it, but the HSI never reacquired the ILS. The approach remained flagged all the way to the runway. I double, triple checked that the 530 was on the correct frequency and set to VLOC. If I'm not mistaken the DME was still working.
Strange that everything looked right until I was flown through the localizer. Anyone else experience anything like this? I was flying the default King Air C90 if that matters. Maybe this is a PEBKAC issue?
