In a previous blog, I explained how to provision a Kubernetes cluster locally on your laptop (either as a single node with minikube or a multi-node using VirtualBox), as well as remotely in the Oracle Public Cloud IaaS. In this blog, I am going to show you how to get started with Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE). OKE is a fully-managed, scalable, and highly available service that you can use to deploy your containerized applications to the cloud on Kubernetes.Continue reading "Teaching How to Get Started with Oracle Container Engine for Kubernetes (OKE)"

Teaching How to Invoke Gen2 Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) resources via REST APIs
I am thrilled with the Oracle's Gen2 Cloud Infrastructure architecture, where Oracle completely separates the Cloud Control Computers from the User Code, so that no threats can enter from outside the cloud and no threats can spread from within tenants.
Obviously with more security, there comes more coordination, especially at the moment of invoking OCI resources APIs. Luckily, Oracle did a good job at providing a simple to use CLI and SDK (see here for more information).
For the purpose of this blog, I built a simple NodeJS application that helps demystify the security aspect of invoking OCI APIs. Check this link for examples of running similar code across other Programming Languages.
My NodeJS application manages OCI resources in order to:
- List ADW instances
- Stop an ADW instance
- Start an ADW instance
I started this NodeJS application to list, start and stop ADW resources. However, I designed this application to easily extend it to invoke any other type of OCI resources.
I containerised this application with Docker, to make it easier to ship and run.
This is a picture of the moving parts:

Teaching How to Get started with Kubernetes deploying a Hello World App
In a previous blog, I explained how to provision a new Kubernetes environment locally on physical or virtual machines, as well as remotely in the Oracle Public Cloud. In this workshop, I am going to show how to get started by deploying and running a Hello World NodeJS application into it.
There are a few moving parts involved in this exercise:
- Using an Ubuntu Vagrant box, I'll ask you to git clone a "Hello World NodeJS App". It will come with its Dockerfile to be easily imaged/containerised.
- Then, you will Docker build your app and push the image into Docker Hub.
- Finally, I'll ask you to go into your Kubernetes cluster, git clone a repo with a sample Pod definition and run it on your Kubernetes cluster.

Teaching How to Design and Secure an API with Oracle API Platform
This blog is the second part of an end-to-end exercise that starts explaining the steps to clone a GitHub repository that contains an agnostic Medical Records application, built by us in NodeJS and which exposes REST API endpoints via a Swagger API-descriptor running locally on Swagger UI (all included as part of the repository). The previous part of this 2-blogs series also explains the steps required to run the MedRec NodeJS application on Docker containers either locally or in the Oracle Public Cloud. For more information about this first part, go here.
Moving to this second part, we are going to cover the following steps:
- Create an Apiary account used to Design APIs (API First approach) and create a new API Project using the existing MedRec Swagger API-definition.
We are going to spend a little bit of time playing with Apiary to feel comfortable in areas such as:
- Validating API definitions
- Testing API endpoints
- Switching across out-of-the-box Mock Servers and real Production MedRec service end-points.
Login to Oracle API Platform and configure an API, this includes:
- Enforcing Security and other policies.
- Deploy API and securing access level to on-premise and Cloud-based API Gateways.
- Publishing APIs into the API Developers Portal.
- Linking API to Apiary Swagger API-definition living document.
Login to API Developers Portal (API Catalog)
- Register a New Application
- Understanding the role of API Keys
- Reviewing MedRec API Documentation
- Registering to consume MedRec APIs
- Testing APIs.
- Understand API Analytics, consumption, metrics and monitoring dashboards.

Experimenting with Fn project
The first AppDev Made Easy (previously known as DX Workshop) for this tour started in Perth. We are continually trialing a few different things as such as we incorporated Fn project https://fnproject.io.
The whole demonstration of Functions was to articulate that there are different ways to execute and understanding the problem to solve as well as the values that the organisation holds (including both business and IT departments including developers) which will determine the technology.
For the demo we start from the very beginning.
Teaching best practices to Design, Build, Secure and Monitor APIs
In this blog, I want to share my experience after having created many APIs using different approaches and technologies. I am going to encapsulate a simple process that will help you construct APIs, starting from scratch with an idea or requirement and move it all along to a happy consumption.
The best part of APIs is that they are microservices enablers, which implies that they are not technology prescriptive, so in this blog you will see that your APIs can be implemented using any technology or programming language.
I decided to use "Jokes" as the vehicle to explain the APIs construction best practices, mainly because jokes are a simple concept that anyone can relate to, but also because I want you to feel compelled to consume these APIs and by doing so, get a laugh or two.
My original idea with jokes is to:
- Get a random joke.
- Translate the joke to any language.
- Share the original or the translated joke with a friend via SMS.
This is the high-level view of how our end solution will look like:

Apiary designed APIs tested using Dredd
APIs are becoming the window to the digital assets of the modern business. Well documented, well governed and easy to use APIs are key to their successful uptake, longevity and associated business success. Yes, I did say well documented. In this instance I am talking about the documentation required to describe the APIs capabilities in a manner that is meaningful for your ultimate audience, the "API Consumers", however it will also provide the template for the API Developer to develop their code from. In the modern business climate, we probably don't want to produce War and Peace, we simply want to take a minimum viable approach to our API documentation. But where would I find a capability that will simplify our task as API Designers, capture the design documentation for our APIs, allow us to do some initialise testing to validate the usefulness of our design before any code is cut, and also have the documentation ready for consumption by team members and interested parties using a standards based approach. Where indeed ! Look no further than Apiary.io. Continue reading "Apiary designed APIs tested using Dredd"

Subject: ST. FRANCIS THEATRE — AUDITIONS FOR FALL PRODUCTION OF "LUNA GALE"
The Los Angeles Times has called Rebecca Gilman's Luna Gale a "grimly rich study of the fight to protect a child," and one of 2014's "most valuable additions to American drama." The child is the infant Luna Gale, born to drug-addicted parents and caught up in a familial, religious and social struggle over who should raise her and with what values.
The play, which has been produced across the country, will make its Arizona debut at St. Francis Theatre, October 13-29, 2017.
The St. Francis run of this play will be high level: competitive stipends for actors; professional quality set design and production values; extensive publicity and promotion; and the use of an excellent dedicated theater space for both performance and rehearsals. Director Mark Klugheit's last production, Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage, received four MAC AWARD nominations ("Best of Tucson Theater") including two for Best Actor and one for Best Director.
Auditions are Saturday, May 6 from 11 am to 3 pm and Monday, May 8 from 6 to 9 pm, at St. Francis in the Foothills Church, NW corner of River and Swan Roads, Tucson. Auditions on May 6 will be in rooms 30/31 (look for signs) and on May 8 in the Community Center. Actors may attend both audition sessions, or either one. Callbacks, if necessary, will be Saturday, May 13 at 11:00 am.
There are seven roles available, all with dramatic significance: 2 for women playing 40-early 50s; 2 for women playing late teens-early 20s; 2 for men playing mid-30s-mid 50s; and 1 for a man playing early-mid 20s. Rehearsals will begin August 19.
Auditioners should arrive at the beginning of the scheduled audition period and be prepared to remain long enough to read multiple sides and different roles in various groupings. Sides will be available in hard copy at the auditions but also will be supplied electronically approximately one week in advance to those who have requested them from the director.
If auditioning, please bring with you (hard copy) a head shot, CV, and a written list of all conflicts between August 19 and October 29.
Those considering auditioning should feel free to email director Mark Klugheit (firstname.lastname@example.com) with any questions. There is no need to email a second time if you have already requested sides.

In a direct attack on David Cameron she said the Prime Minister's decision to appoint Mr Coulson ''at the heart of Downing Street'' was a reflection on his judgment.
Claims that MPs' phones were targeted are set to be investigated by the powerful Commons Standards and Privileges Committee, which Ms Harman said was an indication of the strength of feeling about the issue in the House.
Ms Harman told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show: ''Last Thursday, without a vote because nobody opposed it, the House of Commons agreed to refer the question of phone hacking of MPs' phones and intercepting their phones to the Standards and Privileges Committee.
''If you saw what was said last Thursday it was Conservatives, Nadine Dorries and Nicholas Soames, it was Lib Dems like Simon Hughes as well as Labour people protesting.
''I think the fact that Andy Coulson is director of communications chosen by the Prime Minister is a reflection on David Cameron's judgment.''
She added: ''I think that there is a great deal of concern that at a time when obviously, and the Information Commissioner said this, that interception of phones of MPs was rife, that the Prime Minister chose a Fleet Street editor whose paper was involved in this, to put him at the heart of Downing Street.''
In 2007, ex-News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire were jailed for intercepting voicemail messages left for public figures.
The row has been reignited after a former reporter claimed Mr Coulson - editor of the Sunday paper at the time - was aware such eavesdropping was happening.
Mr Coulson, who resigned as editor in the wake of the court case, has repeatedly denied the allegation and Downing Street insists he retains the Prime Minister's confidence.
Meawnhile, London Mayor Boris Johnson - who was informed by police that his phone was probably among those hacked - said the controversy was politically motivated.
"I am not aware of any single new fact which has been brought into the public domain apart from the Conservative victory, or rather the coalition's victory, at the general election," he told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show.
"An assortment of ex-Labour ministers have now miraculously discovered their principles about this matter having had five years since the story first broke, when they were in government, to get hot under the collar about it.
"They have now decided, simply because Andy Coulson is in government, that they are going to get in a great lather about it."

Give some of the taxpayer's money to these crucial to the economy companies if we have to, but FIRE ALL the CEOs and top management who caused the situation with pooor management and poorer planning! And DON'T give them one cent in severance or bonuses! And put a government watchdog into the top offices to see what these big spenders are doing with the money!
They should have resigned anyway for plundering their own companies! Arrogance and mismanagement should be punished, not rewarded.

Confidential Settlement for Families of Helicopter Pilots Killed in Midair Collision with Senator Heinz's Plane
Raynes Lawn Hehmeyer represented the families of the two helicopter pilots killed when the plane ferrying Sen. John Heinz banked into and struck the helicopter. The helicopter pilots were trying to assist the plane's pilot in determining whether its landing gear had deployed. Aided by expert analysis and reconstruction, the Raynes Lawn Hehmeyer team secured a confidential recovery approved by the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas.
Sixteen Confidential Settlements for Sikorsky S-92 Crash off the Coast of Newfoundland
On March 12, 2009, sixteen workers were being flown on a Sikorsky S-92 helicopter to oil platforms stationed off the coast of Newfoundland. A titanium bolt cracked, releasing all of the oil in the gear box, causing the transmission to seize, and the helicopter to plummet into the frigid north Atlantic.
Fifteen of the passengers perished as the helicopter sank; the lone survivor suffered lifetime injuries. Because Sikorsky had recently moved its headquarters for S-92 helicopters to the Delaware Valley, Canadian counsel asked Raynes Lawn Hehmeyer to represent the sole survivor and all of the families of the passengers killed. Investigation showed that Sikorsky knew long before the accident about the vulnerability of its titanium bolt and that its helicopter could not stay aloft for 30 minutes after complete oil loss, a safety feature standard in other copters. Raynes Lawn Hehmeyer filed suit in Philadelphia state court, and then Sikorsky asked to enter into mediation discussions. In order to document each family's loss, Raynes attorneys, working with their Canadian co-counsel, videotaped hundreds of hours of interviews that were then edited into sixteen settlement presentations, one for each client. Through two weeks of mediation and in less than a year after the accident, every client's case was resolved for amounts– made confidential to protect the clients–that ensured their financial security and honored those that they had lost.
Confidential Recovery for Families of 46 Workers Killed in Chinook Helicopter Crash off the Coast of Scotland
When a Chinook helicopter went down off the coast of Scotland, all 46 oil riggers on board perished. Because of severely low limits for wrongful death damages under Scottish law, the families retained Raynes Lawn Hehmeyer to investigate their potential claims under U.S. law. Detailed investigation of the crash revealed a defect in the helicopter, which had been manufactured by Delaware Valley based Boeing-Vertol which allowed suit to be filed in Philadelphia. When the Raynes team won the years-long battle over which country's law would apply, and where the cases would be heard, the case settled in the tens of millions of dollars.

Rates rose
slightly today. Bond markets were
slightly weaker today while stocks surged on optimism over Wednesday's
conclusion to the EU summit which some hope will contain a "solution" to the
seemingly imminent Greek default.
So no… Rates are not in the 3's, nor is there any
guarantee from the government that they will be. The expansion of the government's refi
program doesn't make any promises about rates either. Preliminary
details were out today and the main thing to be aware of is this: the
changes being discussed ONLY apply to ELIGIBILITY. There's no mention whatsoever of any
government mandated interest rate for the refi program.
anything, the additional economic optimism over a slightly higher percentage of
the population being able to refinance and prevent foreclosure points to HIGHER
rates if the economic effects of the program are even measurable at all-a matter
still open to debate. Bottom line for today,
rates are slightly higher, and the only thing that will bring them down in the
short term is either some really awful economic data or a really anticlimactic
conclusion to the EU Summit on Wednesday.
But before you consider what today's
rates are, here's a Good Article on "How to Shop
for a Mortgage" from last week.
Today's Rates:
- BESTEXECUTION 30YR FIXED – Mostly 4.25% today
More 3.875% today, 3.75% still out there for some.
– Mostly 3.5%
- 5 YEAR ARMS – low
3% range, huge variations from lender to lender.
Ongoing Guidance While Best-Ex Is At
Or Below 4.25%:
Guidance: While we're encouraged by rates' recent ability to draw a
line in the sand at 4.25%, we can't rule out upside risks from European
headlines or domestic economic surprises. With the increased volatility
in the outlook, we'd lean more toward locking, EVEN THOUGH that volatility can
swing both ways. The possibility that rates get lower in spite of the
increased disposition to lock is part of the frustration of dealing with
volatility. But better safe than sorry.

Dr. Anne Flaspöler, Postdoctoral Researcher
E-Mail: email@example.com
Anne received her PhD in Politics and International Studies from the University of Leeds in 2015. Her research interests include peacekeeping training and its socialisation properties, liberal peacebuilding as well as African peace and security efforts. She has conducted fieldwork in Ghana, South Africa and Rwanda.
Current Research Project: The Dynamics of Hybridity: How do they shape African Peacekeeping Training Centers?
This research project aims to identify the dynamics that shape the hybridity of peacekeeping training centers in Africa by exploring the different influences that guide them in their efforts such as donor relations and inter-institutional cooperation. The concept of hybridity as the fusion of 'the international' and 'the local' is currently discussed in the liberal peacebuilding literature. It describes the way local practices as well as international norms and structures are adapted in response to the levels of cooperation, coercion and resistance in post-conflict environments.
In order to contribute to this debate, these dynamics are initially addressed in the context of the SADC Regional Peacekeeping Training Centre (RPTC) in Harare. In so doing, the project assesses how the different dynamics have affected the center's perception of its role, as well as its priorities, activities and institutional goals. This will provide insights into the features of institutional hybridity which can be tested in future research involving a larger number of peacekeeping training centers.
Research Field and Areas: Peacekeeping training, hybridity, liberal peacebuilding, Africa.

SABC staff threatened with disciplinary action for engaging in peaceful lunchtime protest against retrenchments
8 November 2018
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has seen a letter sent by SABC management indicating that disciplinary action will be taken against staff protesting peacefully during their lunchtime against retrenchments.
In the letter written by the SABC's Group Executive of HR, Jonathan Thekiso, the SABC indicates:
"The SABC wishes to reiterate that the planned 'total shutdown and or so-called peaceful demonstration' during lunchtime on Friday, 09 November 2018 is not in compliance with legislation…and employees participating in such action will be subjected to disciplinary action."
It is not the SABC's business what its staff do during their lunchtime, and it is well within their rights to engage in protest.
We have been informed by staff that no 'total shutdown' is planned, and it was a falsehood spread by the SABC that one was planned.
The SABC's response to the protest is indicative of an authoritarian creep in an SABC that is bungling its retrenchment process.
We maintain that a full-scale skill and salary audit should have been conducted to prevent arbitrary job losses at the public broadcaster.
The board and management are due to appear before the Communications Committee next week Tuesday and the DA will not hesitate to take on the SABC for its insensitive, arrogant and poor management of its retrenchment process.
Issued by Phumzile Van Damme, DA Shadow Minister of Communications, 8 November 2018

We were on a hike up Ingalls Creek and we ran into a snake. It was a rattlesnake. I didn't want anyone to get hurt so we just ran down the hill as fast as we could. What was a 30-minute hike up the hill was a five-minute run down.

"My friends and I were in the Tri-Cities and we went to Top of the World, which is this big mountain off Lookout Point, to see the whole city. And one of our really stupid friends went to the edge and fell off a good 35 feet and ended up breaking a few bones in his arm."

"I was in Montana hunting with my uncle and we came across a couple moose. I had never seen one before and they are so big. We were about 10 feet away from them so I just stayed quiet. I was about 12 years old and terrified. I really didn't want to die from a moose."

"I was over in Spain and I was scaling a pretty vertical mountain and got to the point where I realized that I might not make it back down, and the only way was up. I had to collect myself for a moment. I made it to the top where there was a road that I could walk back down."

Let's replace the bagged salads with the old-fashioned, healthy, and fresh ones!
It is easier to just open the bag and pour the contents into a bowl than to wash, dry and cut the greens, we need to start focusing on the healthier option, instead of the quicker one.
In 2015, the government reported that fruit and vegetables are the leading source of Listeria and Salmonella food poisoning and the second leading source for E. coli. B
Yet, bagged lettuce was found to be much worse than all other veggies, and Emily Bazelon provided an explanation, writing at Slate in the aftermath of an earlier E. coli outbreak:
"To produce the bags, processing plants take greens from different farms, put them through three different chlorinated baths, dry and seal them in plastic, and then ship them to a market near you.
The chlorination doesn't get rid of E. coli: To do that, you need to heat the leaves and treat them with an organic acid, which would probably make them go limp.
So, by mixing greens from different farms without treating them for contamination, the processing of bagged spinach spreads E. coli once it's present in a particular field."
Regarding the issue and the places where the batch of lettuce ended up, the Food Poisoning Bulletin stated:
"The salads have been known to have been distributed to the following states, but there may have been a further distribution to other states.
The states that received the salads include, but are not limited to: Alabama, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The salads were sold at Giant, Kroger, ALDI, Price Chopper, Walmart, Fred Meyer, Schnucks, Meijer, ShopRite, Stop n Shop, Food 4 Less, Jay C, FoodsCo, PriceRite and other stores."
Well, this is a quite good reason to switch back to the good old, homemade salads, isn't it?
Moreover, if possible, grow your own foods or find a trusted local farmer who can supply you with healthy, chlorine-free produce, and enjoy the taste of your nutrient-rich salads!

When we announced the Give Health campaign earlier this month, we had an even bigger goal than our first matched campaign – raise $7,000 for public health projects to be matched by a fund created by a group of anonymous donors, doubling the overall impact and donations to $14,000.  Members of the Jolkona community came together to launch this campaign and see it through – we are excited to announce that last Monday, November 15th Give Health was fully funded!
Together, in just over two weeks, here's the impact we made towards public health around the world:
- 38 children saved from diarrhea in India
- 2 doctors visits provided in Bangladesh
- 8 HIV+ children in Cambodia received 6 months of medicines
- 2 sets of farming tools provided in Nicaragua

Recently I've had an issue in which Configuration Manager Task Sequence (TS) used for the Operating System Deployment (OSD) kept failing. When looking at the contect of the appropriate Smsts.log file, it turned out that it was failing with the 0x80070002 error code:
Failed to resolve the source for SMS PKGID=PKGID$, hr=0x80070002
When looking at numerous forum posts on this subject, in almost all cases it turned out to be network-related problem in a way that SCCM Client is not able to reach software distribution package on the distribution point. However, in my case this couldn't have been the problem because Task Sequence was run from standalone bootable media (DVD-ROM) which contained all referenced software distribution files.
After spending a lot of time troubleshooting, it turned out that the problem was caused by the fact that DVD-ROM drive included in the physical server on which TS was running was not able to read dual-layered DVD-ROM media files. Complete TS had approximately 5 GB in size and couldn't fit on single-layered media. That's why dual-layered DVD-ROM media had to be used.
This just proved again that most obvious solution is often the last one taken into consideration.

San Diego Postnuptial Agreement Attorneys
What are Postnuptial Agreements?
Like prenuptial, postnuptial agreements involve marriage expectations and obligations but is written up after two people are married rather than before. Rather than associating a postnuptial agreement with an inevitable breakup, learn how it can actually improve your existing marriage.
Schedule an initial consultation – call (858) 492-7968 today! Our team can explain the benefits of postnuptial agreements.
How Can a Postnuptial Agreement Protect Finances?
The process of creating a postnuptial agreement is a good time to deal with finances and is often more rewarding than one may think. Sometimes, a spouse in a marriage feels as though the other is hiding assets or is not contributing enough. In other situations, a spouse may feel he or she should be named on the property individually or desires for both names to be on it. The issue of who takes responsibility for paying off debt is also a necessary discussion.
Although money can be an awkward topic, since intentions can be misconstrued, a marriage should be viewed as an economic partnership and finances should be sorted out. Forming a postnuptial agreement provides the option to express any financial concerns and the ability to settle any issues.
What Will a Postnuptial Agreement Unveil?
In order to discuss finances, it is essential to gather necessary paperwork. A postnuptial agreement is the perfect opportunity to collect all financial documents so that you and your spouse are well aware of your current financial state as well as the following:
- Assets
- Debts
- Spending habits
Once you have all your finances out in the open, you can better organize your financial life while simultaneously organizing the documents. Different ideas, such as children' allowances and shopping money, can also be discussed during this organization.
Postnuptial Agreements Can Open Communication Between Spouses
A postnuptial agreement can provide a safe time to talk about where you see problems in your marriage and what solutions can resolve these problems. In addition, you and your spouse can discuss talk what should be expected from the marriage and what circumstances would alter those expectations. Many marriages fail due to poor communication, so this is a great opportunity to strengthen your relationship and set standards.
Postnuptial Agreements Can Create Discussion Regarding the Future
Although the future is not always predictable, foreseeing potential issues can help couples move through different scenarios. While the event of a divorce should be discussed, the event of tragedy should also be discussed. During such conversations, it is healthy for spouses to explore the ideas of different types of health insurance and choosing a power of attorney.
The Agreements Can Help Organize Priorities
It is very helpful to have a clear idea of what your marriage's priorities are and how you are going to achieve them.
Priorities can be broken down into the following:
- Retirement
- Vacations
- Children's college tuition
- Luxury vehicles
Once you get an idea of what is most important for your marriage to achieve financially, you will find more success in working towards it.
Please contact our postnuptial agreement lawyers today to learn more.

Musk on Carbon Tax
Musk on Carbon Tax
At about the 9:30 point in his discussion, Musk starts to talk about making the carbon tax a revenue neutral tax. Watch and listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKCuDxpccYM Now, when it comes to environmental issues, Washington State is about as progressively liberal as it gets, yet last November the voters rejected exactly what Musk was proposing: https://insideclimatenews.org/news/09112016/washington-state-carbon-tax-... So it all sounds good in theory, but it's still a hard sell, particularly when you have green advocacy groups rejecting the revenue neutrality and wanting the carbon tax money to be spent on green things.
And rightly so. We have a climate change crisis so lets stop playing games. Green industries should be rewarded and fossil fuel companies punished. We don't give child molesters time to adjust to being with children.
A carbon tax hits low-income households the hardest. The Washington State proposal would have given tax rebates of up to $1,500 per year to 460,000 low-income households to offset their share of the tax. I guess there are some commenters here who think it's okay for the poor to shoulder more taxes as long as the carbon tax revenue is spent the way the greenies want it spent instead of making it revenue neutral as Elon proposed. Oh well, what does Elon know anyway.
@stevenmaifert So the $1500 rebate to low income earners is a bad thing? If not enough they can penalize the fossil fuel industry more and raise the rebate
@SCCRENDO - A carbon tax imposed on the entities that produce the CO2 will be passed on to the consumers of that entities products in the form of higher prices. The whole idea with Elon's revenue neutral concept is that those higher prices paid will be offset/neutralized with tax cuts to the consumers in other areas, like sales taxes. Rebates up to $1500 to low income earners is a good thing to offset a higher gasoline and electricity bill among other things, caused by the carbon tax. The green groups in Washington State didn't like that approach because they felt the carbon tax revenues should be used to promote green things, rather than used to neutralize the effect of the carbon tax on consumer prices. I think had it passed, it would have been a good first start. In the end, I think the ballot measure failed, not because green groups were against it, but because the voters were skeptical of the revenue neutral promises. The lesson here is that if you can't get a carbon tax passed in a state that is as environmentally conscious as Washington, good luck getting it passed anywhere else.
At least at the moment, we have the luxury of only caring about the financial impact. For now....
But of course we will wait until we have no choice but to change our ways. And by then, we can pay many times the current amount to correct the issue, if it isn't too late by then.
@SO_S90D +1 again
Problem with carbon tax or using tax policy in general to acheive policy ends is that it is indirect. It may not even fix the problem.
Better to directly address the problem. Sources of emissions need to be regulated such that they are required to reduce emissions by definitive steps to reach a definitive goal.
For cars, emissions have to reduced to zero by 2040 so by 2050. Cars are responsible for 20% of green house gas emissions.
If cars are going to be EV to acheive this goal, then electricity generation, responsible for 30% of green house gas emissions, needs to also be zero by 2050. Solar, wind, fission, geothermal.
Industrial emissions are 21%, industry has to be zero by 2050.
Mandating the means to the goal, allowing 30 years for industry to find whatever solution works best for them is the best way to go vs. indirect carbon taxes which have equity issues and are not even proven to work to fix the problem.
EM is totally right about the revenue Carbon Tax. We had a chance to pass an incredibly powerful revenue Carbon Tax here in WA, but not enough support from people who should have voted for it. It is very similar to the one enacted in British Columbia which has been doing very well, growing the economy, and reducing carbon emissions. As a member of Citizens Climate Lobby, we are actively working to enact a National revenue neutral Carbon Tax (https://citizensclimatelobby.org/volunteer-climate-change/?gclid=CIee28q...)
@SCCRENDO (January 3, 2017)
<< We have a climate change crisis ... >>
This is a LIE. It's pointless to debate a LIE.
(1) There's been 0 increase in the average temperature on earth in 20 years & it's been only about 0.8°C since 1880.
(2) Furthermore, the narrative attributing the major GHG effect to CO2 is false. Water vapors are the main GHG.
(3) In addition, the national and global campaign to tax, regulate, and mandate mankind "beyond" fossil fuels is bound to be either an expensive exercise in futility or a humanitarian disaster.
@Remnant. Wrong, wrong and wrong. This has been well debated on these boards with people with more understanding than you. The data is all there.Climate change is real and needs to be addressed. When you can come up with real data that supports your point of view get back to me. Your 2 links are not links. They do not work.
@SCCRENDO (January 4, 2017)
<< Your 2 links are not links. They do not work. >>
It's a single link, not 2. Just add https:// to it.
@Remnant. An opinion piece from someone without scientific qualifications. Instead of quoting him provide the science
good god that marlo guy is just dumb. so sad, the people that "interpret" science and fact ACTUALLY HAVE NO SCIENCE background. "An interest in science"? yeah, I'm getting all the data from that guy. sheesh.
@Remnant. A link to an opinion piece is not data. If the opinion piece has data, link to that. I am not going to try to validate the data of the opinion piece when you did not. You have to do better than that to win converts to your religion.

@reed_lewis (January 6, 2017)
<< CEI is the Competitive Enterprise Institute which is right wing organization more concerned with small government, >>
I have long been on the lookout for a left wing one that's thoughtful enough to be worth quoting or citing, but they are only quotable for grudge, idiocy, and antisocial policies.
Please kindly ignore Remnant, who suffers from severe confirmation bias. All it does is drive every conversation into the muck.
That being said, the only hope that a carbon tax has is to make it revenue neutral, and phased in over several years like was proposed in the Musk youtube video.
The greenies wont like this because its not idealistic enough for them, well I say tough. Some progress is better than no progress. The fact is that cost increases will almost assuredly be passed onto the consumer. So yes if it WERENT revenue neutral it will make fossil fuels not nearly competitive with their TRUE COSTS coming to bear, but in reality the low income households/people will get hit the hardest because they have the least opportunity to transfer to other sources of energy... they are worried about keeping the lights on, not where the energy to keep said lights on comes from.
So another way would be to have provisions in there to CAP the % increase in utility rates over a certain period of time, with consideration for natural fluctuations/volatility that is the associated with fossil fuels. Conservatives will cry foul about big bad government, but again i say tough. Government is already in bed with the energy sector so not much will actually change and I think ultimately its unfair and unhealthy for everyone to keep going down this path were these externality costs are left on the public tab. And i think this establish cap is better than simply cutting a check to low income households to use as they see fit.
One other thing I liked about the youtube video, is that Musk mentions nuclear in the same sentence as the other renewables, with the caveat about location susceptibility for natural disasters. I feel like this energy source is often overlooked for the purpose combating carbon emissions and pollution.
@nadurse, If the utility cap is small enough to make a big difference in the choices the poor make, then you are basically paying them to destroy the environment. A better solution is a tax credit/rebate and let the people decide how they want to spend it.
@ColdOne, i dont think i understand what you mean by "paying them to destroy the environment"... Im not suggesting paying anyone anything. I'm suggesting saying to the utility, you shall not increase your rates above X% for a given time frame, so they dont overcharge people who cant afford to upgrade to solar installations. So if utilities start losing some of their profits due to the carbon tax, they cant squeeze the end consumers (regardless of their income) for more money.
Actually the rebate plan sounds more like "paying them to destroy the environment"... because most of the low income people wont turn around and use that rebate to help pay for a solar installation, that money is going to be used to pay the higher electric bill and go right back into the utility's account when they rake them over the coals because the companies profits are decreasing.
So your solution is to apply the carbon tax to businesses, but not let them pass on the higher costs to their customers? Tesla would get stuck with a $10k carbon tax and only be able to raise prices by $500? Not only is that a terrible economic voodoo policy, IMO, it just has no chance of passing. I wouldn't vote for it.
Whenever you are subsidizing (or undercharging for) a product you are influencing people to use more of that product and that creates inefficiency and waste. The whole point of a revenue neutral carbon tax is to make people pay their fair share, not to let them continue to waste out of ignorance and self-interest.
By subsidizing utility rates you are giving little incentive for people to change their behavior. Why would I bother looking for greener options, an electric car, more efficient windows, etc. if someone else is paying for the fuel I waste?
If we are assuming that low income people care about money they will do the right thing and use their rebate in the most cost efficient way. If the carbon tax is built in to prices they will buy the product that is better for the environment. They have to.
@coldone. Perhaps I have missed something here but why would Elon be charged a Carbon tax? It's the ICE manufacturers that will pay the carbon tax. Musk would be the one to get the credit.
Wikipedia has a good detailed summary of the carbon tax. It is complicated
@Stevenmaifert is correct in that the tax can potentially selectively punish the poor. The answer however is to provide relief in subsidies, credits, rebates etc
"Carbon taxes offer a potentially cost-effective means of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.[7] From an economic perspective, carbon taxes are a type of Pigovian tax.[8] They help to address the problem of emitters of greenhouse gases not facing the full social cost of their actions. Carbon taxes can be a regressive tax, in that they may directly or indirectly affect low-income groups disproportionately. The regressive impact of carbon taxes could be addressed by using tax revenues to favour low-income groups.[9]"
It is interesting that environmental groups are against the carbon tax. My take is that it is a great idea but needs to be structured so it serves its purpose.
"In 2016, a group of climate activists put an initiative for a revenue-neutral carbon tax on the November ballot in Washington State. If approved by voters, it would have imposed a tax on carbon dioxide emissions and used that revenue to decrease the state's sales tax, the business tax, and expand the state's version of the earned income tax credit for low-income workers."
And the summary of the distributional impacts
"Distributional impacts Edit
In most instances, firms pass the costs of a carbon price onto consumers. Studies typically find that poor consumers spend a greater proportion of their income on energy-intensive goods and fuel, and cost increases in energy tend to impact the poor worse than the rich.[228] Therefore, if the revenue from a carbon tax is retained by the government, a price on carbon is expected to be regressive, similar to any policy that increases the cost of fuels and energy.
A study by Resources for the Future (2014) examined the regressive nature of a carbon tax evaluating three different options for the use of a revenue neutral carbon tax. The study concluded that distributing the fee back to the public as a lump sum payment eliminates the regressive nature of the carbon tax, where people in the lower 60% of income brackets will, on average, perceive a positive impact on their household welfare.[229]
Studies by Metcalf et al. (2008) and Metcalf (2009) consider the possible distributional impacts of carbon taxes in the United States.[230] The 2008 study considers three recent tax bills introduced to the US Congress. The taxes themselves are highly regressive, but when revenues from the tax are returned lump-sum, the taxes become progressive. The 2009 study looks at a carbon tax combined with a reduction in payroll taxes. It is found that this combination can be distributionally neutral. With an adjustment in Social Security payments for the lowest-income households, the carbon tax policy can be made progressive.
A study by Ekins and Dresner (2004) considers the distributional impact in the UK of introducing a carbon tax and increasing fuel duty.[231] It is found that a carbon tax can be made progressive, but that the tax would make those currently worst affected by fuel poverty more badly off. Of the policy options looked at for transport, the most effective in compensating low-income motorists is found to be an increase in fuel duties and the abolishment of vehicle excise duty."
@nadurse (January 6, 2017)
<< Please kindly ignore Remnant, who suffers from severe confirmation bias. All it does is drive every conversation into the muck. >>
Using taxes for changing market behaviors is ignorant.
On the top of this, designing details of such a taxing plan is also stupid.
It makes that designer look like he's from another planet. It might work for EM, because he probably thinks of himself as a Martian, but most other people would look like retards.
Explain with some data why changing market behaviors with taxes is ignorant. Many would suggest that making random statements without evidence is ignorant.
If we design a tax would it not be stupid to not design details?
Your use of the word "retard' is derogatory, insulting to many and inappropriate. I guess it would be ok if you were referring to yourself.
@sccrendo, there are different ways to structure a carbon tax. Producing a Tesla vehicle is hugely destructive to the environment and, IMO, they should be charged for that. I honestly don't know whether producing a Tesla is worse for the environment than producing a Hummer. It might well be.
However, in a fair world the cost of driving that Hummer would then be 10x higher than for the Tesla, because of the carbon tax applied to the fuels used. That is how to motivate people to make environmental choices. You can't pat yourself on the back for buying a Tesla or two and keeping it in your garage.
Credits would go to those who actually reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.
@coldone. I agree that credits should go to those that reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Yes I should be patted on the back for having a Tesla rather than a Hummer in my garage. Car manufacturers indeed need to find ways of reducing the carbon footprint of manufacture but I would love to see a good non fossil fuel funded study "wells to wheels" where a Tesla comes comes even close to the carbon footprint of a Hummer.
@sccrendo, if having one Tesla in your garage is good for the environment, why not buy two or three? If everyone just bought ten Teslas then global warming would be licked.
In fact, buying a Tesla is terrible for the environment. Even driving a Tesla is not good for the environment. You don't get patted on the back for either of those actions.
NOT buying a Hummer is good for the environment. NOT driving a Hummer is great for the environment. For that you do get some credit.
It reminds me of the flak that Schwarzenegger was getting for owning multiple Hummers. Hello? You can only drive one at a time.
@coldone. What is good for the environment would be to get rid of humans. But lets get realistic. I am buying a second Tesla. But the logic is not that the more Teslas we buy the more we save the environment. The logic is that the more Teslas we buy instead of Hummers and indeed most ICE vehicles the better the environment will be.
@sccrendo, show your math, please. Do you have any evidence whatsoever that manufacturing a Tesla is better for the environment than manufacturing a Hyundai? There is no reason at all to subsidize a Tesla if you really care about the environment. How much more driving are you going to have to do with two Teslas to offset the cost of production? Trick question, think carefully.
Should we congratulate an A list celebrity for flying First Class rather than taking a private plane. How much should we subsidize first class tickets?
Isn't the better option to encourage not flying at all? Equivalently, maybe take the bus instead of driving a Tesla or even just stay home? I don't think we have to go all the way to annihilating the species to find a "good" solution.
ALL flying is bad for the environment. ALL driving is bad.
Simple solution is to put a fair price on everything and let people change their behavior appropriately. Not pat ourselves on the back because I'm not polluting as much as Arnold Schwazzenegger or Brad Pitt.
@coldone. In typical denial fashion you have provided no data nor math to support you data say I would say it is disingenuous for you to ask me to to disprove your incorrect unsubstantiated statement.
That said I will take the bait anyway. This has been well discussed in the past. There was a lot written on this. But for starters I have pulled up a good refutation of an exaggerated anti-Tesla article by a guy called Weiss. In addition I need to add the calculations are all made with Teslas charged off the electric grid and charging in West Virginia would be relatively dirty. But many States have clean grids and continue to clean up their grids. I live in California and the majority my electricity comes from my solar panels.
@sccrendo, in fact I have showed my math, but in typical denial fashion you don't even understand the question and keep throwing out irrelevant information.
Here's the math again in its most simple form:
1 > 0
1000*1 > 0
Let me know if you don't want to take my word for it and need a link.
Testlas are not only very expensive in terms of carbon to make, but they are absolutely not zero emission vehicles. Your link makes these very points. Thanks for that.
Buying a Tesla is terrible for the environment. Period. You can get in it and drive around the block for a million miles and it will only get progressively worse.
Any fair carbon tax scheme will recognize this and put a fair NON-ZERO tax on buying the car and the electricity used to charge and drive a Tesla to encourage other behavior. Pretending that buying or driving ANY vehicle has no carbon cost is just insane.
Here's a pop quiz to see if you understand the material.
Bob has a Tesla Model S. Carol has a Hummer H2. Which of them is causing more damage to the environment? Which of them needs to pay a carbon tax?
@SCCRENDO (January 7, 2017)
<< Explain with some data why changing market behaviors with taxes is ignorant. >>
Taxes are intended to provide the government with the revenue it needs for its LEGITIMATE expenditures, not to steer economic activities, in order to produce some results preferred by the politicians or their constituencies.
(The US Constitution lists the legitimate Federal expenditures as the Powers of Congress, under Article 1, Sec. 8.)
This is the principle of NEUTRALITY of taxation. A Carbon Tax would not be neutral.
See Economics 101 or Taxation Principles 101.
Or try http://www.itep.org/pdf/pb9princ.pdf
@Remnant. You have your own definition of legitimate. From your link
"The tax principles outlined here are not the only criteria used by policymakers in enacting tax changes— and these principles can come into conflict with each other. But almost everyone would agree that advocates of tax reform should keep each of these principles in mind as they seek to improve their state's tax system"
@coldone. Show me where in the article it said that Teslas are terrible for the environment. Only point paid was that if you use electricity in a coal state like Virginia the electricity is not as clean but still better than most ICE vehicles. In a clean electricity state like California Tesla in so much cleaner. And if your electricity comes from solar you are completely clean. Learn and post some real facts. You have shown no data. Your 1>0 is a pure idiotic statement. How about 16>13.
With all due respects I am not going to spend much time arguing with an ignoramus. Here is a link to some of the many discussions on this forum.
And also a good article from David Nolan reviewing the Weiss article.
@sccrendo, I can't tell if you are incredibly dense or just incredibly stubborn. Find someone smarter or more openminded than you and have them explain why this entire subthread has gone over your head. You are completely clueless.
Feel free to keep posting links that are completely irrelevant to the conversation. Does it make you feel smart to keep 'proving' points that no one here is arguing with and reliving previous discussions that are off topic?
Carbon tax in process already; a few links;
The costs of burning fossil fuels is tremendous. They should be taxed and not given welfare taxpayers monies.
The world knows this and is doing something about it and most of the US is on board. The fossil fuel interests are tainting our government and will cost all of us money, health and a worse environment. Any thinking person can see it for themselves.
@SCCRENDO (January 7, 2017)
<< @Remnant. You have your own definition of legitimate. >>
My own ... ?! Perhaps my first impression of you, that you were passionately adverse to everything based on the US Constitution, was correct, after all.
Be that as it may, have you examined Ballonoff's take on this?
You have an opportunity, at this historic juncture, to jettison your Hillary-infested misreading of America and spread of un-American values, slogans and lies.
@EVolution. This is not an issue of having a zero carbon footprint. Most of us are in favor of the freedom to live a "normal" life. And the earth can tolerate a certain degree of waste and toxins. However we are already beyond the point where the earth can continue to buffer our waste. Thus we need to take action to at a bare minimum hold the line and if possible reverse the trend. We will always have some carbon footprint and spew out some toxins but we need to ammeliorate this as much as possible. Developing nations are likely always going to need that larger carbon footprint
@EVolution, the point of a carbon tax and making people pay for other external costs (even smug Tesla owners), is so that the 'benefits' align with the fair costs to society (this is where the 'rational, mathematical and scientific proven calculations' come in). We do the math so people who are lazy or aren't good at it (like some of the people in this thread) don't have to.
In that world, I'm fine with you buying a Hummer a 2nd Tesla or even a 10th Tesla. However, right now you are pushing your external costs on me and I'd reather not subsidize your selfish choices.
@coldone. So where is your math (and should be accompanied by science) that shows that Teslas are as dirty as ICE vehicles???
@sccrendo, so where is your math that shows that buying Teslas for everyone in the world will singlehandedly eliminate global warming?
@coldone. Your Turn. You claim to be the mathematician. Show me where a Tesla is as dirty as ice with some science please. I have provided articles showing Tesla to have a low carbon footprint. You make wild claims that Tesla is as dirty if not dirtier than ICE. So show some science first and if you wish do your math afterwards.
US$ 450 million for the first unmanned Mars lander mission
US$ 425 million for the communications satellite
US$ 900 million for the first rover mission
US$ 2,300 million for all remaining outpost hardware and supplies before the human mission US$ 1,250 million for sending the first crew to Mars
US$ 582 million for operations, including astronaut selection and training
US$ 93 million for ground stations and other costs
US$ 1,850 million per year for follow-up human missions
@sccredo, your turn.
I don't understand what you hope to get out of this ridiculous game you've invented, but I'm fascinated by it.
Do you have training at improv comedy?
@ticobird, I can understand your confusion if you haven't followed the whole thread.
Sccredo has invented a game where he makes up a wild assertion that is irrelevant to the topic and then demands that others prove that assertion.
Then he posts links and random data to prove that he was right all along (on a topic that no one here is discussing or refuting).
@ticobird. I am with you on this one. Not sure what thread he is on. Didn't know we were talking about space missions. Thought this was about a carbon tax when he started babbling about Tesla being dirtier than ICE vehicles. I guess we are now into the cost of space exploration. A new breed of trolling indeed. To what purpose is not clear. Perhaps another climate change denier trying to disrupt a thread. Guess I may also need a cold one. But he may be a few dozen ahead of me. I think we need to press the ignore button on this one.
@EVolution. Thank you for the math.

The CRTC released its 2018 Communications Monitoring Report yesterday (direct link to the 34 page PDF right here), and we already have an expert reaction to it, from Dr. Michael Geist:
He's not wrong; I had a quick look through the report myself, and found this graphic to be especially telling:The data points to a market dominated by three big carriers, with retail pricing that creates all the wrong incentives for a country focused on innovation. Rather than encouraging data use, the current marketplace forces consumers to ration their data and to subscribe to cheaper data plans with the hope of not running into overage charges.
I'm thinking that 5G is going to be a really tough sell in this country if over half of its mobile subscribers have a monthly data bucket of 2GB or less.
It could be that we're just a nation of cheapskates, who simply don't see much value in mobile data. But the long lines at carrier stores for that 10GB holiday miracle this time last year would seem to suggest otherwise.

My HoFo feedback... is that still a thing?
Interesting take on this accurie. I wonder if we're stuck in a catch 22 situation here, Canadian's data usage may be using less data because the prices are so high. I agree 5G will be a tough sell based on this information - such a shame.

Recent technological developments and pursuit to optimize the business processes have up-surged the demand for fast and reliable machines. However, complex and huge programs tend to put immense pressure on the processors and compilers. This, as a result, may take slightly longer than usual for the machines to execute the programs. Nonetheless, today speed is everything. Businesses and consumers want results in almost real-time. To resolve this issue, researchers from MIT have come up with a new machine learning tool that can calculate the average time a chipset might take to compile and execute the program. The new model – the Ithemal model, analyzes millions of neural networks for self-learning. This, as a result, shall help the OEMs to develop new and effective chipsets for the devices in the future.
Previously, researchers have mentioned the development of ML-enabled tool that uses neural networks and building blocks. The tool can help the programmers to understand by the chipset is taking so long in the execution of the codes. Resultantly, this model can help the OEMs to develop new chips that can work efficiently with complex programs and codes.
How Data Proves its Validity in the Development of the Tool?
Data is the new oil today. It helps businesses to understand the demand that is currently prevalent in the industry. It is then, the researchers are relying heavily on the data that is acquired over the period of time. Moreover, with more data, the researchers can efficiently train the machine learning model that can further help the chipset to improve its performance. Over a period of time, researchers have accumulated data that shows how complex programs and algorithms burdens the microprocessors. With this information, the new tool can effectively help chip manufacturers to improve the performance of microprocessors and other chipsets in the devices.

It's been a long time since I've even worried about the idea of sanctification and the definition of sin, but many of us in the New Age Christian community are surrounded by friends and family who can't seem to get past this simple question.
Thanks to guys like John Calvin, the power of the cross and the simplicity of its message have been buried under miles of fear and judgment. What started out as news that was TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE (that's what the word 'gospel' means) has turned into news that the world doesn't even want to hear. And when your gospel doesn't present a message that is easy and light, you might want to double check your righteous religious privilege.
In Part on of this discussion we cover:
- Can God and sin be in the same place?
- What is the definition of 'sin'?
- When exactly is Jesus coming for his spotless bride again?
- The difference between internal perfection and external perfection.
- The different types of sin.

The psoas muscle is the main instigator in causing problems with low back pain. It also has a big impact on sciatica. That's because the psoas is connected to the inner thigh muscle and is deeply affected by how the hips are angled. If your inner thigh is tight then you can guarantee that your psoas muscle is going to be the same. Stretching it out has very little effect those psoas muscles are put under incredible pressure by the hips tipping back.
As you can see there is more pressure on the spine when the hips tip back. They also over stretch the psoas. That's why physically stretching the muscles isn't that good. Supporting the hips enables the proper release down of the psoas. This means that the hips shouldn't tip back.
We think of our sitting bones as the pointy bits at the back of our backside. The sitting bones are much bigger and longer than this. They are massive. Think of them like 2 long ice skates from the back of the hips (pointy bits) coming forwards to the front (groin). We need equal weight between front and back. It will feel too far forward when you do this at first.
The neck head and back relationship is bad.
You're doing something with your arms that forces your shoulders forwards.
Your knees are raised too high above your hips.
Most of us don't realise the extent of the psoas muscle. It takes up a large space below the diaphragm and goes down to the top of the hips. This is where it wraps around the spine. It then goes almost diagonally forwards and down over the front of the sitting bones and attaches to the inside of the femur. Although the inner thigh muscles don't seem to be directly attached they are inseparable in terms of muscular tension. That is as soon as you tighten your inner thighs you are going to tighten your psoas and pull your hips in some horrid way. So in order to help lower back pain and other parts of the body to get relief, the psoas needs to release in the right way.
Well it needs to release in combination with everything else. Broadly speaking you want to let go of all the muscles in and around your hips. Most of the time this gets mistaken for collapsing. Or tipping the hips back and just letting everything hang out. We need directions to release into otherwise this is what will happen.
So very simply we need to let go of the belly muscle whilst dropping the weight of the sitting bones. Particularly the front of the sitting bones because this is a place in the body that gets chronically under used for taking your weight. This is how 90% of people cause their lower back pain. For whatever reason they think their sitting bones are the pointy bits that you rock back on when you sit down or that they might put too much pressure on the groin, they tip their hips back.
If you sit in a saddle it will either exaggerate this or give you something to release into. Not exactly practical I know, but it's one of the reasons that people use saddle seats. They are quite popular among beauty therapists for this reason. Of course they are also the practical concerns of functioning of the body, particularly digestion. If everything is working harder and tighter there is less surface area to absorb food and your body has to work harder to push everything through. The same goes for your circulation.
We might not be able to directly feel the psoas muscle tighten. However, the inner thigh tightening and hips tipping back will give us some strong clues as to what we are doing with it. Then you have to set about getting some release in these areas and surrounding areas and then give it some direction. Of course the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it. But it's important to decide to head in a particular direction and see to what degree things have gone wrong. That way next time you can be more accurate.
There is no better sport to tip your hips back and overtighten the psoas muscle than rowing! The misuse of this particular muscle is how I managed to slip my discs, particularly my L3. Of course rowing can be done without tipping the hips back, but the attitude in training is generally to "pull harder" instead of taking your time. Over the years as I've managed to maintain an awareness of tipping my hips back. This made it possible to walk again and shed layer upon layer of unnecessary tension. You don't have to row to do this much damage to your back. Most people sit in a collapsed state, so something very simple you can do to help this is put cushions or something firmer like a book behind your hips so you can feel contact with it when those hips do tip back.
Hi, I'm Edward Fisher and I believe that everyone can have a life free from back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain and many other musculoskeletal pain related conditions. I recovered from slipped discs and sciatica. I spent 10 months being unable to walk. After 3 months of Alexander Technique I was walking again. Now I show others how to overcome their own pain related conditions for themselves.
Can you feel it when your hips tip back? Do you notice yourself feeling slumped in your lower back? What do you do to help yourself in this situation? I hope you found this interesting please share or comment if you did.

Story posted: Thursday, 19th December 1991
Story courtesy of
Gresley Rovers defender Stuart Evans chose a golden moment to score his first goal for the club on Saturday when he earned his side a place in the last 32 of this season's FA Vase competition.Evans converted a Richard Denby free kick in extra time to grab victory for Rovers after Brian Beresford had kept the Moatmen in the tie with an equaliser three minutes from the end of normal time.
And the biggest smile in Rovers' post-match celebrations belonged to the Wolverhampton-based youngster who confessed: "My first goal for Gresley couldn't have come at a better time."
Explained Evans: "Richard put a good ball in, it came over everyone and I was in the right place at the right time. I really enjoyed it.
"Getting stuck on the motorway and arriving late wasn't the best preparation for the game and the pitch was awful, but we stuck at it and deserved our win.
"Everyone in the team is full of confidence at the moment – we all want the ball and we all want to play. All we're hoping for is a home draw and we'll be confident of making progress."
Rovers boss Frank Northwood was happy enough with his team's victory but said afterwards: "The game should never really have been played. The pitch was frozen and very treacherous and the game was always going to be a farce.
"It acted as a leveller but we showed a lot of character to come back after going behind so late in the game."
Northwood also paid tribute to Rovers' travelling army of fans who turned out in their hundreds despite freezing fog making road conditions perilous.
"The fans were super – the turnout was great and they all played their part in our win," he said.
