1st Half 2019 Review
After experiencing the worst quarterly performance in over three years in the fourth quarter of 2018, the high yield market bounced back in 2019, particularly in the first quarter, generating the strongest first half performance since 2009. A major driver of this rebound in performance occurred at the beginning of the year when the U.S. Federal Reserve ("the Fed") signaled a more accommodative monetary policy stance going forward.
1st Half 2019 Review
Following two years of steadily declining spreads and strong returns, high yield bond performance turned negative in 2018. U.S. tax reform, healthy economic growth and tightening monetary policy helped to push Treasury yields higher for most of the year. The rise in yields led to weak performance for all fixed income products, including high yield bonds, which produced a loss of -2.27% following a volatile fourth quarter.
1st Half 2018 Review
During the first half of 2018, high yield bonds produced a modest gain of 0.08% (as measured by the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Bond Index ("HYBI")), representing the worst first half performance by the asset class since the financial crisis of 2008.
2017 High Yield Market Review
For 2017, high yield bonds produced a gain of 7.48% (as measured by the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Bond Index ("HYBI")), representing the second consecutive year where the total return of the HYBI exceeded its start-of-the-year coupon. As reflected in Exhibit 1 below, strong gains during the first six months of the year largely drove high yield bond performance in 2017.
1st Half 2017 Review
During the first half of 2017, seemingly unwavering economic optimism and sustained accommodative monetary policy by many developed market central banks outside of the U.S. led to strong performance in the high yield market. This economic optimism, largely attributed to expected pro-growth policies from the new U.S. presidential administration, has continued largely unabated despite no significant new policies actually being implemented.
High yield bond performance in 2016 (as measured by the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Bond Index ("HYBI")) recovered from early losses to post the asset class's third highest annual total return during the past twenty years (17.49%), trailing only 2009 (57.51%) and 2003 (28.15%), respectively. As Exhibit 1 below shows, after generating an impressive gain of 9.32% through the first six months of the year, high yield bonds added an additional 7.47% in 2H16. High yield bond spreads compressed considerably in 2016, tightening a total of 273 basis points, including a 199 basis points decline in the second half of the year ("2H16").
1st Half 2016 Review
In early 2016, concerns about global economic growth, including within the United States, placed pressure on commodity prices and resulted in a sell-off in the leveraged credit market. However, the market's mood shifted as constructive news flow in the form of more accommodative monetary policy from central banks, improving economic conditions and a recovery in oil prices began to positively affect the psyche of market participants.
Transitioning through the Teens
Anyone who has parented a teenager has likely experienced a period of time like 2015 was for the leveraged credit market. The fifteenth year of this current century was rife with angst, wild mood swings, and insecurity, just like many kids endure around the same age. In fact, for much of the fourteenth year, the market behaved similarly, and our expectations are for a continuation of such patterns into 2016, which draws a relatable parallel to the transition that a person makes from child to young adult.
1st Half 2015 Review
After experiencing a tumultuous second half of 2014, high yield bonds and leveraged loans rebounded with solid returns in early 2015 before continuing their bumpy trend toward the end of the first half ("1H15"). The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Bond Index ("HYBI") and the JP Morgan Leveraged Loan Index ("JPM") returned 2.49% and 3.01%, respectively, beating all other U.S. domestic credit asset classes and even some major equity indices, including the S&P 500. Interestingly, the absolute return, yield, and spread of the market finished June virtually unchanged from year-end.

Technical training is offered by the club as additional training at no extra cost in the Fall and Spring seasons. The technical training is provided by our club directors and focuses on the individual player. The goal of each session is to plan a session where every single player improves on one or two specific skills used in soccer. In order to do that, the players must be allowed to have many touches on the ball. The repetition is key. There is no pressure on failing. We want our players to try something at game speed to make it realistic to the game. If they do not succeed right away, they are encouraged to try again, and again.
Technical soccer drills and exercises are designed to promote a players technique and skills. Players will gradually learn over a period of time the coordination and basic motor patterns they need to solve specific soccer game related problems. The decision making process is very complex and players are reacting not only to the other teams movements, but also to their own teammates. Choosing the most effective solutions to these problems require a high degree of ball mastery and wide range of motor skills in higher level soccer. These technical soccer skills are learned through a variety of progressive technical soccer drills. Technical drills should be first performed unopposed to allow the players comfort in making errors and learning. The goal is that these technical skills will eventually be able to be performed in an adaptive and flexible manner on the field in combination with all the decision making a player needs to make.
All travel team players are offered an additional technical training session with one of our full time staff. The one hour session focuses on the individual development. The session will include specific techniques to use in game situations. Sessions are divided into age and skill appropriate to maximize player development.

HA NOI (VNS) — Cooperation between Viet Nam's Ministry of Public Security and the US's law enforcement agencies has seen encouraging developments, affirmed an article about Public Security Minister Tran Dai Quang's recent working visit to the US posted on the Euro Presse Image's website on March 24.
The article highlighted both sides' agreement to maintain existing cooperation mechanisms and look forward to developing a bilateral legal framework dealing with safeguarding security and social order through the creation of such agreements as the one on extradition and transfer of sentenced persons, a mutual legal assistance agreement, and the other on the combat against money laundering.
Viet Nam and the US agreed to intensify the sharing of information and experience in preventing crimes and investigating specific cases, coordinate to ensure safety for each country's citizens and enterprises in the other, and collaborate in staff training.
The article commented that the cooperation in security between Viet Nam and the US is being reinforced and that the US is considering Viet Nam as a key partner in the implementation of its rebalancing strategy towards the Asia-Pacific.
Mentioning the dispute in the East Sea between China and ASEAN countries, the article stressed that the US congressmen have always reaffirmed their support for solving disputes by peaceful means on the basis of international law, especially the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC), as well as working towards the formation of a Code of Conduct in the East Sea (CoC). — VNA/VNS

This camp is again ideally timed for people to use as a key block of training going into their early IM races or to use it as a Volume block of training for their latter IM races.
In 2010 and 2015 I used this camp as a key period in my preparation for the 2010 and 2015 Lanzarote IM, it really was the perfect timing and I know helped me tremendously to prepare for the race and to go on to qualify for Hawaii.
There really is no minimum standard required but it is asked that athletes are realistic to there abilities as the training will be hard and the volume high.
So if you want to escape the worst of the winter at benefit from a key block of training then join me and my team along with the others on the camp for this high volume but very relaxed and informal training camp.
Little emphasis will be placed onto technique and no time spent in the lecture room. However every session will be planned out and explained well in advance so that everyone goes into every session with clear goals and expectations. There will also be plenty of time for informal chat over coffee!
The camp aims
- For a high volume week of training
- An extra emphasis on the cycling (as this is the hardest one to train for in the Uk winter)
- To include key race specific Ironman conditioning sessions
- To work on the Mental toughness required for Ironman
- To consider good recovery
- To work on race nutrition and hydration

The Last Mass
Dreamed 1914/11/23 by E.M. Martin
That war should find its way into my dreams was what I feared when the fourth of August (1914) came, even though I had often found the events of the most soul-stirring of days to have little or no influence on the consciousness that is awake when the body lies inert, and the real world (as we reckon reality) exists for it no longer. At first my fears were vain, and my dream country was still, for me, a land of peace, content and plenty.
But on the twenty-third of November (and this, the starry month, together with October, gives birth to stranger dreams than any other) war began, and I first heard the guns of the enemy in an old castle I know well, and have learnt to look upon as a dream friend; for I know it through all the changing seasons, and have gathered roses and honeysuckle from the high hedges that now bound its outer fosse, or picked ripe blackberries from them, sometimes with friends, but more often alone.
In this dream I was alone, and the time was autumn, for the leaves in the hedgerow and on the tall trees that grow on the castle mound were yellowing to decay, while the warmth of the sun was welcome, for in spite of its softness, there was a tang of cold in the air. Some boys were playing at ball in the hollow that forms the right side of the outer fosse, and just before me a man walking with two girls was pointing to the fine old keep, while he told them something of its story.
The scene was so peaceful, of such quiet, untouched beauty, that it was hard to realize we were in the midst of the greatest war the world has ever known, that the enemy had landed, and were marching through England, pillaging and burning. At any moment (for so I believed in the consequent inconsequence of sleep) we might hear their guns and the old castle know its last siege, and I was here to warn these people, the boys playing in the green hollow, and the man displaying his narrow store of learning to the laughing girls.
I tried to call to the boys, but the wind carried my voice away; I tried to speak to the man, but he moved on quickly and was out of sight; in the distance I could hear the sound of heavy firing, yet no one else seemed to hear it, and, of a sudden, my feet grew heavy, so that speed was impossible to me.
Instead of trying to follow the man, I thought I would go between the two walls (all now left of the great gate-house); the dry moat lies on either side and the pathway is narrow; by taking it, I should be at the keep almost as soon as he. And all the time I could hear the heavy firing, and wondered whether I could save these people, or if we must taste of death together in this dream castle of mine.
For often in a dream, a certain dual consciousness prevails, and though mind and body are active, and all around one is clear and tangible as the world is when waking, yet there is a sense (difficult to define but well known to such scientific dreamers as Mr. Havelock Ellis and Professor Bergson) that we are in a dream and that there is a possibility of our coming back again into the daylight world we have grown to look upon as the only proven reality. In this particular dream, the baffling sense of a twofold consciousness oppressed me: was the castle real, and would death itself be real, or only another and more troubled phase of dreaming?
I was on the pathway between the two walls of the gate-house; the one wall is solid, the other shows a wide gap made by those leather guns that gave so good an account of themselves in the Civil Wars at the siege of Worcester. A stone seat runs along this riven wall, where, while their masters had audience of the lord of the castle, men-at-arms would sit waiting, looking through the narrow slit that served for a window and yet gave so wide a view of the world outside.
And I was not alone on the gate-house floor. An old priest, in a cassock, had set the sacred vessels on the stone seat, and was arranging some pink-coloured foliated paper or his altarcloth; as I looked, I knew he was preparing to say his last mass, and that I, being no Catholic, could not offer myself to be his server. Though no words passed between us, my mind was as clear to him as his mind to me; he wanted a server and I was willing to help him.
"Fetch me the little lad who is playing in the hollow," he said at last.
"The fair-haired boy?" I asked. He bowed his head for answer, and the sound of the guns grew louder; the enemy must be very near now (for in my dream, I forgot to reckon with the long carrying power of the new guns) and this was the last mass the old priest would say or the walls of the old castle echo.
I ran quickly in search of the boy, but he was all intent on his game: I could see the boys were shouting at their play, but the firing drowned their voices, though they themselves were all unconscious of any noise save their own. Of this noisy little band the fair-haired boy was leader; he would, I thought, be sorry to be called from his play to take his part in the solemn mystery. As the thought passed through me, the walls of the castle rocked, the ground rose as if to strike me in the face, there was a blaze of light from the tall trees that were all afire, and of the merry players only three were left; the fair-haired boy's head was rolling after the leather ball, while his body lay in the trodden grass, yet I was unhurt, held only by this horror of war, brought suddenly to my very feet.
Looking up at the ruined gate-house, I saw the wall was still standing, and the priest watching through the gap pointed to the tallest of the boys who were left, a blackhaired boy with a sullen mouth. I ran down the slope, and taking him by the shoulder, I dragged him after me; for part of the keep had fallen, the trees and some farm buildings beyond were blazing, and there was no time to be lost if the old priest was to say his mass in this world. The black-haired boy was too bewildered to understand aright what was wanted of him; but the habit of obedience was strong, and the priest began the office, while I knelt on the floor and waited for the end.
There was another crash and I saw the chalice like the Grael in Sir Bors' vision silhouetted against a rose-red sky, while the priest's face, lighted from within, was of a strange glory, for he had left age behind him, and had entered into his heritage of undying youth. The smell of the smoke mingled with the scent of the incense, and the heat from the burning timber struck across me like a blow, and then I saw the tawdry pink paper was alight. Some spark from the burning wood had touched it, and I rose from my knees to help the priest, who seemed all unwitting of the flame the wind had fanned into a screen of fire and smoke that filled the gap in the wall. But with the stir of sudden movement my dream self was alone, and I awoke to the heavy darkness on the edge of dawn.
I wrote this dream down the same morning (as I always do with any impressive dream) for my own satisfaction and that I might neither omit nor exaggerate the least little detail; wrote it with a heavy heart, that war had come into my dream life, so that it might no longer be possible for me to balance carefilled days by peace-filled nights.
But the next night was as barren of adventure as a heavy sky is empty of stars, and I hoped, after such a strangely living experience, to enjoy weeks of untroubled rest.
He didn't. Just two nights later he dreamed of a subtler but deadlier apocalypse: The Changed River.

I've read over my last three posts about my big boobs and decades of being stared at, leered at, commented about, and insulted.
Who knew the subject of boobs was such a heavy one? I mean figuratively, not literally, because I definitely know how literally heavy they are.
There are a couple of things that have surprised me:
- The feedback I have gotten from other women. I seem to have struck a chord. Many of us, it seems, stuff the anger and distaste we have felt for years down deep and rarely let it out.
We do talk about it from time to time among our girlfriends – usually when the men and children are gone and the wine is flowing. Even then, we make light of it, we joke about it, but I suspect the reality is a lot more painful than we admit. Maybe even to ourselves. Which leads me to the next surprise…
2. How angry I am. When I wrote the first post I thought I had just one small, short post to write about lugging around big boobs. But it has become much more. I've tapped into a fiery emotion that is very complex and is mixed with subtle issues about sexuality, objectification (like, can you have sexiness without objectification?), entitlement, respect, and situational appropriateness.
In other words, I don't mind if my lover makes lustful comments about my bouncing boobs while I am on top of him…#rideemcowgirl…But if I don't know you and you say something about the way they bounce, well then, Houston, we have a problem.
I'm really curious to hear your thoughts…are you interested in hearing more from me on this? Do you have a story to tell?
Talk to me, people!
Please comment here, I'd love to know I am not just roaring into the abyss…
In solidarity,

TUSCARAWAS TWP.: The 24 year-old Massillon woman who was hit Monday night while walking on state Route 172 east of Kenyon Avenue Northwest has died.
The Stark County Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol said Neivada D. Toland, 24, died Wednesday night at Aultman Hospital in Canton.
A 2000 Chrysler 300 driven by a 42-year-old North Lawrence woman was headed westbound on state Route 172 when it struck the pedestrian, who was walking in the westbound lane, the patrol said.
The driver was not injured.
Authorities say Toland was walking home around 9:55 p.m. from her job at McDonalds when she was struck.
No charges have been filed in the crash and the incident remains under investigation.

About Zeroid
Fireteam Leader
Remove mines from Combat engineers on regular forces
Zeroid replied to Rudd_Nurseman's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsI disagree, but only to a point. Allow Regular Forces to places mines within a radius of their FOBs/radios... with potential for AP mines... might need a cooldown period after detonations before placing a new mine... ^^ Edit: Do all squads need to have the same structure. Could a light recon squad form be introduced, limited number per team, with specialist roles for recon/sabotaging purposes... ^^
Could Offworld confirm, or make sure, that players that are wearing the unarmed/surrender kit/uniform not affect/contribute flags/capture-points. This to ensure that captives can be held anywhere on the map without any negatives for the captors, and etc... Will there be a way of dropping/lose weapons in the field so you can surrender without needing to change at an ammo box? Even though I never really played on Altis life servers... there's a market...: Could consider a timer on being able to use the 'respawn' command, and for the give-up command... or atleast allow servers to edit respawn/give-up/suicide rules... or introduce a new game mode^^ Not single life... possibly cost more tickets lost for suicide/giving-up, as a server option... ... ... etc etc P.s. I do read the updates, but don't recall seeing the above covered anywhere... woopsie if a I missed...
Ninja/Squad Destruction of Radios
Zeroid posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsShould it require more than one active enemy soldier, within range of the FOB, to dig up a radio/FOB? Also, is the current switch team mechanic/timer an issue?
tank British tank?
Zeroid posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsThe British Army could do with a tank. Challenger 2 would be correct, but would that be OP?
helicopter British Helicopter: Puma HC2
Zeroid posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsThe British Army needs helicopter support... me thinks the Puma HC2 would be most suitable ^^ Puma HC2: https://www.raf.mod.uk/aircraft/puma-hc2/
suggestion Destruction/Digging up takes more time than construction.
Zeroid posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsI feel it should take longer to deconstruct a structure than to construct one. This would add greater value to contruction and also enhance the realism of in-game item placement, imo. It currently seems to easy to deconstruct placed items...
Ammo crates and explosions
Zeroid posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsShould ammo crates have the potential/chance to explode for an area of affect kill zone, when taking damage, and is this a thing/concern in the real world?
quadbike Quadbikes
Zeroid posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsQuadbikes might be an idea for modern forces... but may be too capable of scouting out FOB's... potentially game breakingly so... but then some forces have motorbikes... but they're 'not' off-roaders... discuss
physical material Surface type affects suspension systems of vehicles
Zeroid replied to Zeroid's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsThe thread should be re-titled, to something about impact absorption qualities of surface materials and their effect on vehicular behaviour, especially at speed...
mirrors Working mirrors, as an option/default for vehicles... Please
Zeroid replied to Zeroid's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsI hope a graded solution could help, in which you can choose the level of detail available in the mirror from nothing, to shapes, and finally full detail. the number of degrees of detail could be up to the user.
mirrors Working mirrors, as an option/default for vehicles... Please
Zeroid posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsMirrors don't seem to work in Post Scriptum, and and appear unusably blurred in Squad. Could we please have workin mirrors on vehicles as a graphics option, set on as default...possibly with a range of detail quality stepping steps? ^^ Vehicles need to reverse at times and the current mirror settings really hamper the driver from being able to do this to any reasonable level of ease. Please make it an option... Cheers P.s. I would post direct to Post Scriptum but they use discord when forums imo are better, and Squad is the base of PS... cheers o7
physical material Surface type affects suspension systems of vehicles
Zeroid replied to Zeroid's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsI should think it would, to a degree, help avoid exploitative driving, and encourage drivers to take realistic routes on all terrains. This would hopefully add to immersion and thus the overall enjoyment of the game.
physical material Surface type affects suspension systems of vehicles
Zeroid replied to Zeroid's topic in Feedback & SuggestionsVehicle behaviour is the main thing, and soft off-road ground will absorb some of the energy that currently triggers vehicles to fly when crossing over bumpy terrain. The current suspension system I suspect is fine for on-road use but might not factor in the impact absorbing qualities of ground that is less firm. All I'm after is a greater sense of weight, and gravity, which seems currently lacking. This is very prominent in Post Scriptum, but am not sure how so in Squad, as I'm waiting for v12. ^^
physical material Surface type affects suspension systems of vehicles
Zeroid posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsAs physical materials will affect vehicle speeds, could they also be made to affect vehicle suspension... I'm guessing that's a thing in the real world... and could such a thing be rolled out for both Squad and Post Scriptum. The reason for the request is that off-road suspension seems to make the vehicles too bouncy, as if they don't weigh too much. That said, I don't have too much experience driving logistics trucks off-road so they could currently be quite accurate... but they do seem to hop jump and skip over bumps more than I'd imagine real-world trucks would do so... Cheers, and much appreciated. Zeroid o7
possible issue Wall hack or bug?
Zeroid posted a topic in Feedback & SuggestionsParts of an enemy soldier were clipping through a wall from an inaccessible cavity of the top floor of a building, next to the stairs. Said soldier was firing and I did recieve partial damage but... it was weird... and experienced in the settlement north of the airfield on Yehorivka.

Travelling to a winter destination is always exciting, since it's summer all year round in Singapore. You well-travelled Singaporeans are no stranger when it comes to preparing for a winter holiday, such as getting your thermal wear ready, with some even packing your favourite instant noodles (just in case). We've put together 5 travel tips prior to your winter holiday this coming year end, based on one of Singaporeans' favourite winter travel destinations in Japan – Hokkaido. Follow our pre-trip checklist and useful travel tips to make the most out of your trip!
1. Save luggage space with vacuum-sealed storage bags
Do you purchase vacuum-sealed storage bags from Daiso before tiq-ing off? At just S$2, the Daiso vacuum-sealed storage bags are akin to oversized zip lock bags that can do wonders to compress those bulky winter wear! We wouldn't deny that as kiasu Singaporeans, we would often try to pack light when travelling abroad, so that we can maximise our luggage space for that extra space to bring back more souvenirs.
Winter wear is bulky and takes up much of our luggage space but they're necessary to shield us from the harsh cold of winter, as the temperatures could go as low as -20 degree Celsius in popular travel destinations such as Hokkaido. Stay warm with your thermal underwear and bundle up with scarves, ear muffs, and gloves!
2. Winter essentials to stay warm and toasty
Source: GIPHY
Apart from having sufficient winter wear to keep you warm, there are other ways to stay warm and toasty, especially if you can't stand the cold. While you're headed to Daiso to get your vacuum-sealed storage bags, don't forget to pop some heat packs into your basket before checking out. This popular travel essential tends to get sold out quickly during the peak winter holiday season, so get yours early! Besides having the heat packs in the pockets of your clothing for that extra warmth, you can also bring a thermal flask along with you to store a hot drink, keeping yourself warm and hydrated in the dry winter climate.
Additionally, don't forget to bring along a pair of winter boots with a strong rubber tread. This is important for preventing falls while walking on snow. After all, Hokkaido is a winter wonderland during the months December to March, with snow almost everywhere. We especially love the scenic view at Niseko, with its many snow-capped peaks. Other than revelling in the stunning view at Niseko, you can keep warm by soaking in one of the onsens at the various hot spring resorts there too!
3. Medication and personal care items
While frolicking in the winter snow might sound exciting to you Singaporeans, those who are travelling to a country with a winter climate for the first time might have difficulties acclimatising and some might even fall sick. Follow our travel tips above to stay warm and don't let the cold bug get you! But if it does, flu, cold and fever tablets are some medicines that can come in handy. Don't forget to bring along any other personal medication that you are required to take. You can also pack some vitamin C pills for that extra immunity boost and antihistamines to keep any allergies at bay. To protect your skin from drying or even flaking (no thanks to the harsh winter cold), have a moisturiser and a lip balm with you!
#TiqOurWord Don't forget to get your travel insurance prior to departing Singapore. Overseas medical expenses can be costly but in the unexpected event that you do need to seek immediate medical consultations (touch wood!), at least you will be covered.
4. If you can't live without… chilli sauce!
Source: GIPHY
From sushi to ramen, Japan is a gastronomic heaven for foodies. Japanese cuisine is often paired with wasabi, a somewhat pungent spice. Wasabi might be spicy to some foreigners, but definitely not to Singaporeans who are used to eating chilli padis. Indeed, there's no other chilli sauce like the ones we are used to in Singapore, regardless of which winter destination one visits. If you need that extra, fiery kick in your food, why not pack some chilli sauce from home to complete your meals?
Chilli sauce from homegrown brand GLORY is our favourite! While this pre-travelling tip is totally optional, it's a must-have for some folks who can't live without their daily dose of chilli, even when travelling abroad. We can't guarantee if chilli from Singapore pairs well with Japanese cuisine, but if you're adventurous with food, you can give it a go!
5. Take off with ease with Tiq's travel insurance
Travel with ease and make your winter holiday as carefree and joyful as possible by getting a travel insurance before you Tiq off, to buffer you against any unforeseen circumstances. Tiq Travel Insurance by Etiqa can cover you in many aspects, such as your medical expenses, missing belongings and more.
Did you know that you can receive an automated flight delay benefit claims with instant payout with just 3 hours of consecutive delay? Furthermore, your travel claims encashment are made hassle-free via PayNow by 'Insurer Claims Team of the Year 2017'.

Depending on where you take your beach trips, windsurfing may not be something you see much anymore these days. However, there are still plenty of spots around the globe where the sport flourishes. South Africa is one of those places, and one young lady did her part last year to put the sport back on the map! Karo van Tonder set a couple of world records last year by becoming the first woman to not only complete but also win, an 80km windsurfing race.
The Mauritius Challenge is an excruciating 80km race that pushes windsurfers through Mauritius's Pointe d'esny. When Karo spoke of the race she won, she commented that most of the men dropped out around the 40km point.
Windsurfing for a distance that long puts a tremendous strain on the body and Karo's back leg started to give out after about two hours of racing. Contrary to what many people would expect, the power in windsurfing isn't reserved for just the upper body. The entire body must work to control the board and sail. Karo said that it was like being in a squat position for hours on end, and after a while, the chop of the ocean started to take its toll on her legs.
To compensate, Karo changed her position so she didn't have to rely so much on her back leg. The real strength needed, though, was in her mind. Karo believes that mental strength supersedes physical strength and that a strong mental state can help overcome most physical challenges. It certainly doesn't hurt that Karo also believes that she can't have any "bad" days on the water—windsurfing is the ultimate hobby for her, and as long as she's on a board, she's having fun!
That kind of attitude has really helped Karo throughout her career, as most of the events she races in are against men. Karo takes pride in the fact that her physical and mental endurance allows her to push further than many of the men in the sport. While they fall out, she pushes on and just happens to set some world records in the process.

Here are the most popular FAQs on Assembly reform and the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill.
The Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill was passed by Assembly Members on 27 November 2019.
The Bill:
It is anticipated the Bill will receive Royal Assent in January 2020. On receiving Royal Assent the Bill will become law, with the Bill setting out when its different parts take effect (for example, the name of the Assembly will not change until 6 May 2020).
Information about the Assembly's consideration of the Bill can be found here.
Today's Assembly is a very different institution to the one established in 1999. Then, it had no primary law-making powers and was not formally separated from the Welsh Government. Now, it has responsibility for making laws and holding the Welsh Government to account in some of the areas which have the greatest impact on people's lives.
In July 2016, Assembly Members agreed unanimously that the name of the Assembly should reflect its constitutional status as a national parliament. Assembly Members debated what the new name should be, as part of their consideration of the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill. The Bill was passed by the Assembly on 27 November 2019 and is anticipated to become law in January 2020.
The Bill provides that, on 6 May 2020, the Assembly will be formally established as a parliament and will be named 'Senedd Cymru' or 'Welsh Parliament'. This is exactly 12 months from the scheduled date of the May 2021 Assembly election.
A consultation on changing the name of the National Assembly for Wales ran from 8 December 2016 to 3 March 2017. In total, 2,821 survey responses were received. The key findings were:
On 6 May 2020, the Assembly will become a parliament and will change its name to 'Senedd Cymru' or 'Welsh Parliament'.
This will reflect the Assembly's constitutional status as a national parliament for Wales.
From 6 May 2020, Assembly Members will be known as 'Aelodau o'r Senedd' or 'Members of the Senedd'.
The legal name will change on 6 May 2020. This is exactly 12 months from the scheduled date of the May 2021 Assembly election, allowing time for people to become familiar with the new name prior to that election.
The Assembly's own signage, website, stationery will display the new name from 6 May 2020. Whilst other organisations are encouraged to refer to the correct name from this date, it is expected that these changes will be made gradually over time.
Engaging young people effectively in the work of the Assembly is an important priority for the Assembly Commission. The Commission believes that empowering and inspiring young people to vote at 16 is a powerful statement from the Assembly that we value their views and gives them a voice in the future of our nation. It builds on the work we have done to establish the first Welsh Youth Parliament.
The proposal to lower the voting age was recommended by the independent Expert Panel on Assembly Electoral Reform. The results of the Assembly Commission's consultation showed that 59% of people responding to the relevant question agreed that the voting age should be lowered to 16.
The minimum voting age is 16 in Scotland, Austria, Malta, the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey. 16 and 17 year olds were able to vote in the Scottish independence referendum and can vote from 16 in local elections in Scotland and in Scottish Parliament elections.
Around 70,000.
16 and 17 year olds will be able to register to vote in the 2021 Assembly elections from 1st June 2020.
In order to be able to vote, you have to be on the electoral register. You can get on the electoral register online or by using a paper form. If you need help to register to vote, you can contact your local Electoral Registration Office.
The Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill gives 16 and 17 year olds the right to vote in Assembly elections from 2021 onwards. The Welsh Government has introduced a Bill which proposes to allow 16 and 17 year olds also to vote in local government elections in Wales from 2022 i.e. the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Bill. This is currently under consideration by Assembly Members.
The National Assembly has the power to legislate on the voting age for Assembly and local elections in Wales only. Power over the minimum voting age for Westminster elections, UK referendums and Police and Crime Commissioner elections is reserved to the UK Parliament.
The minimum voting age for elections in Scotland is different for Scottish Parliament elections and Westminster elections. In 2016, 16 and 17 year olds were able to vote in the Scottish Parliament elections. In 2017, 16 and 17 year olds were able to vote in Scottish local government elections but not in the UK general election. The reports from the Electoral Commission on those elections do not suggest there was significant voter confusion.
The Expert Panel on Assembly Electoral Reform considered whether 16 year olds have the political knowledge, maturity and independence of thought to vote. Research by the Electoral Commission found that in the 2017 local elections in Scotland, 16 and 17 year olds found it easier than 18 to 24 year olds to access information on how to cast their votes, and were less likely to find it difficult to complete their ballot paper.
On balance, the Expert Panel concluded that a reduction in the minimum voting age to 16 with effect from 2021 could be a powerful way to raise political awareness and participation among young people.
In order to ensure young people are encouraged and supported to exercise their right to vote the lowering of the voting age is being accompanied by appropriate political and citizenship education and public awareness-raising. The Assembly Commission is working with younger people, and those who work with young people, to co-produce resources created for their specific needs. It is also working with a range of partners, including the Electoral Commission, local authorities and the Welsh Government, to co-ordinate our education and awareness-raising activities.
At the moment, EU citizens and Commonwealth citizens can vote in Assembly elections. The Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill will not change this. Commonwealth and EU citizens who are resident in Wales and who have registered to vote will still be able to vote in Assembly elections. While the details of the Brexit deal in relation to voting rights for EU citizens are not yet clear, the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 preserves the entitlement of EU citizens to vote in Assembly and local government elections after the UK exits the EU. The Assembly Commission is therefore satisfied that no further action is needed at this time to protect EU citizens' right to vote in Assembly elections.
The Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill was amended during the passage of the Bill to allow qualifying foreign citizens to vote in Assembly elections from 2021 onwards. This will allow citizens who have- or who are treated as having- leave to remain in the UK to be able to vote in Assembly elections (providing that they are not unable to vote for another reason: such as being under 16, or living outside Wales).
The Welsh Government has introduced the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Bill which proposes to allow qualifying foreign citizens also to vote in local government elections in Wales from 2022 onwards.
Not everyone is eligible to be an Assembly Member. Some people are not eligible to be an Assembly Member or to stand for election to the Assembly due to posts or offices they hold (e.g. posts or offices that may pose a conflict of interest with being an Assembly Member), or due to aspects of their personal circumstances (e.g. being imprisoned for a period of more than one year).
Previously, all disqualifications prohibited a person from standing for election to the Assembly. When nominated, candidates had to declare that they were not disqualified from being Assembly Members. If they were disqualified, they could not stand for election. This meant that persons holding disqualifying posts or offices had to give up their employment in order to stand for election to the Assembly.
The Assembly Commission want to enable and encourage more people to stand for election. To achieve this aim, the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill will change the law so that most disqualifications prohibit a person from taking up a seat in the Assembly but not from standing for election. This will allow more people to stand for election and give up their disqualifying post or office only if they are elected.
The Bill also makes the rules on disqualification clearer by setting out in one piece of law all disqualifications from standing for election to the Assembly.
The changes to the law on disqualification made by the Bill are based on recommendations made by the Fourth Assembly's Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee in their report on disqualification.
Members of the House of Lords will be disqualified from serving in the Assembly unless they have applied for leave of absence from the House of Lords. Members of the House of Lords are allowed to take leave of absence from the House of Lords, for example in order to serve as Supreme Court Judges. (A person cannot be a member of the House of Lords and a Supreme Court Judge at the same time).
This change to the law on disqualification is based on recommendations made by the Fourth Assembly's Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee. Their report on disqualification stated:
"We are satisfied that there is potentially a conflict of interest in having the ability to serve two legislatures that scrutinise primary and secondary legislation that potentially could cover the same policy area."
As originally drafted, the Bill did not disqualify local authority councillors from membership of the Assembly. However the Welsh Government proposed amendments to the Bill to disqualify such councillors from serving in the Assembly, on the basis that holding both roles simultaneously is inappropriate. Assembly Members voted in favour of the Welsh Government's amendments. Local authority councillors will be allowed to stand for election to the Assembly. If a councillor is successful in an Assembly election, they will have to give up their membership of the local authority in order to serve in the Assembly.
Following amendments, the Bill provides that Members of the Scottish Parliament, Members of the Northern Ireland Assembly and Members of the European Parliament can stand for election to the Senedd, but- if elected- would then have to relinquish membership of their other legislature to serve in the Assembly.
The Assembly Commission considers that as the Assembly takes responsibility for devolved elections, the Assembly should also become responsible for the financial and oversight arrangements for the regulation of devolved elections and referendums.
The view of the Electoral Commission is that it should be financed by and be accountable to the Assembly for its work in relation to devolved elections, rather than the UK Parliament.
The Bill therefore provides for the Electoral Commission to be financed by the Assembly for its work in relation to devolved Welsh elections and referendums, and to become accountable to the Assembly for such work. The date on which this change will take place will be set out by the Welsh Ministers in secondary legislation.
On 10 July 2019 the Assembly agreed that an increase in the number of Assembly Members is needed and that further cross-party work should be undertaken to take this forward. However, there is not yet consensus on the voting system that should be used to elect that larger institution, or on measures which could encourage the election of a more diverse legislature.
The Assembly subsequently agreed on 18 September 2019 to establish the Committee on Assembly Electoral Reform. The Committee's role is to examine the recommendations of the Expert Panel on Assembly Electoral Reform. It will be well-placed to ensure that consideration of the Assembly's size and electoral arrangements is taken forward in a transparent, cross-party way. The Committee met for the first time on 21 October 2019 and will report on its findings in due course.
There are many competing priorities and challenges for Wales. The National Assembly's job is to represent the interests of Wales and its people, make Welsh laws and hold the Welsh Government to account. With so many issues to consider, it is right that we ensure our parliament is as effective, accessible and diverse as possible and able to act on the issues that matter to the people of Wales.
The Assembly Commission made considerable efforts to make the consultation process as accessible as possible through its Creating a Parliament for Wales consultation. In addition to a formal consultation document, it published Easy Read consultation materials, and an accessible microsite with online surveys to help people respond on all of the issues or just those of most interest to them.
As well as online promotion and more traditional publicity, the Commission held a series of public meetings across Wales which allowed for constructive debate and challenge. The Commission is grateful to all those who participated and those who helped host the meetings. In addition, the Assembly's outreach team also engaged directly with over 400 children and young people.
In total, over 3,200 submissions were received to the consultation, from all areas of Wales, including 37 submissions from organisations.
The Commission also consulted separately about proposed changes to the name of the Assembly.
The Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill was passed by the Assembly on 27 November 2019, by a majority of 41 to 19 of votes.
It is anticipated the Bill will receive Royal Assent in January 2020. At this point it will become law.
However not all of the Bill's provisions will take effect immediately. For example, the name change will take effect from 6 May 2020 and 16 and 17 year olds will not be allowed to register to vote until 1 June 2020.
Work will be undertaken to implement the Bill in time for the 2021 elections. For example, signage on the Assembly's estate will be changed to reflect the new name and the Assembly Commission will work with the Welsh Government and other partners to ensure 16 and 17 year olds are given all the information and support they need in order to exercise their right to vote in Assembly elections.
As with all legislation, the Bill has been subject to the Assembly's legislative scrutiny processes. You can go to the Senedd and Elections (Wales) Bill webpage for more information about this process.
The National Assembly for Wales Commission has announced plans to take forward key elements of its programme to reform Wales' parliament.

Watch a new prologue for Alien: Covenant
In the midst of all of yesterday's celebrations for 'Alien Day', 20th Fox released a new prologue for Ridley Scott's upcoming film Alien: Covenant which goes some way to answering the question of what happens to Noomi Rapace's character Elizabeth Shaw and Michale Fassbender's android David from Prometheus, and how they might fit into the narrative of the new film.
The new clip is introduced by the director and shows Shaw making repairs to David before setting a course for the Engineers' home planet, using their ship.
With the film arriving in just two weeks' time, the new clip bridges the gap between the narratives of Prometheus and the new film, although it doesn't include any of the new cast members, so how exactly David and Shaw might encounter the crew of the Covenant - or indeed if they do at all - remains unclear, we'll have to watch the new film to find out.
In the meantime, check out the new prologue below...

Windows path name cannot contain a double quote, so we do not need to
worry about escaping embedded quotes.)

fc.exewas among these in the past, but we have had more success recently. #endif
Stdout and stderr
For command-line R, error messages written to
ignore.stderr = TRUE. They can be
captured (in the most likely shells) by
system("some command 2>&1", intern = TRUE)
For GUIs, what happens to output sent to
intern = FALSE is interface-specific, and it
is unsafe to assume that such messages will appear on a GUI console
(they do on the OS X GUI's console, but not on some others).
Interaction with the command
Precisely what is seen by the user depends on the optional parameters,
Rgui or
Rterm is being used, and whether a
console command or GUI application is run by the command.
By default nothing will be seen in either front-end until the command finishes and the output is displayed.
For console commands
Rgui will open a new
invisible = FALSE, a commands window will appear for the
duration of the command. For
Rterm a separate commands window
will appear for console applications only if
wait = FALSE and
invisible = FALSE.
GUI applications will not display in either front-end unless
invisible is false.
It is possible to interrupt a running command being waited for from
the keyboard (using the Esc key in
Rgui or Ctrl-C
Rterm) or from the
Rgui menu: this should at least
return control to the Rconsole. Rwill attempt to shut down the
process cleanly, but may need to force it to terminate, with the
possibility of losing unsaved work, etc.
Do not try to run console applications that require user
input from
Rgui setting
intern = TRUE or
show.output.on.console = TRUE. They will not work.
Differences between Unix and Windows
How processes are launched differs fundamentally between Windows and
Unix-alike operating systems, as do the higher-level OS functions on
which this Rfunction is built. So it should not be surprising that
there are many differences between OSes in how
system behaves.
For the benefit of programmers, the more important ones are summarized
in this section.
- The most important difference is that on a Unix-alike
systemlaunches a shell which then runs
command. On Windows the command is run directly -- use
shellfor an interface which runs
commandviaa shell (by default the Windows shell
cmd.exe, which has many differences from a POSIX shell).
This means that it cannot be assumed that redirection or piping will
work in
system(redirection sometimes does, but we have seen
cases where it stopped working after a Windows security patch), and
shell) must be used on Windows.
stderrwhen not
captured depends on howRis running: Windows batch commands behave
like a Unix-alike, but from the Windows GUI they are
generally lost.

We have recently installed a new Roland VersaUV LEC proofer. This means that we have the ability to accurately produce and experiment with artwork on a small scale, allowing us to fine tune appearances before production, something that would otherwise be restricted to imagination. It literally brings ideas to life!
The proofer is colour calibrated to hit the Fogra 39L standard so the mock-ups will be very accurate for colour reproduction.
The addition of spot gloss and opaque white inks allow accurate representation onto metpol (metalised polyester) boards and the spot gloss can proof the production processes of UV inline spot gloss, relief spot UV and off-line UV high build spot glosses.
It can also re-create embossing effects and this coupled to our foil blocking proofing, will provide a fantastically accurate cost effective solution for a mock-up of production cartons.
To discuss how the proofer can benefit your production requirements, call us on 0116 260 2220.

Heronswood is a historic property that was built in 1864 and is located in Dromana, Victoria. A Gothic Revival house built in 1874, and highly picturesque, it incorporates the original shingled roofed cottage that was the first structure built on 46 acres.
Heronswood is classified by the National Trust of Australia and is open to the public. The house, which is also on the Australian Heritage Places Register, and the Victorian Heritage Register is located at 105 Latrobe Parade in the suburb of Dromana on the Mornington Peninsula.
The first three owners of Heronswood were remarkable and eminent men. William Edward Hearn (1826-1888) was one of the first professors at the University of Melbourne. Alexander Sutherland (1852-1902) was a poet and philosopher who was perhaps best known as a journalist and schoolmaster. In 1904 it passed to his close friend H.B. Higgins. Henry Bournes Higgins (1851-1929) was a lawyer, a radical politician and one of the most controversial jurists in Australian history.
The property is directly above the beach where Captain Matthew Flinders landed, on 27 April 1802.

New Mexico is currently facing a budget crisis due to the downturn in oil prices. Fortunately for the State Land Office, Section 126.96.36.199(G) of the New Mexico Administrative Code authorizes the State Land Commissioner to periodically review the easement price schedule, and review it he has. As of January 20, 2017, Commissioner Aubrey Dunn has proposed substantial changes to the easement price schedule that will increase the cost of all easements, be they telecom, road, pipeline, etc.
If enacted, all easements will cost a minimum of $200.00. The new cost per rod for a road up to 20' is $30.00 (previously $20.00), with the price per rod for existing roads increasing five dollars to $15.00 per rod. The cost per rod for an oil and gas pipeline in the Southeast Quadrant (including Lea and Eddy Counties) will double from $30.00 for a 12 3/4" OD to $60.00, and from fair market value for a pipeline greater than 12 3/4" OD to an amount equal to the greater of $100.00 per rod or fair market value. The proposal also includes language that pipeline easements will be granted on the condition that transportation and processing charges for state gas transported over the easement will be based on a percentage of the market value of the end product.
Written comments will be accepted until noon on February 24, 2017 while the revised easement price schedule will most likely go into effect March 1, 2017. You may want to pay your attorney to protest by written letter addressed to Stephanie LeMaster, New Mexico State Land Office, Attention: Easement Price Schedule Comments, P. O. Box 1148, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 87504-1148, or by email at email@example.com.
The current easement rate schedule can be found HERE.

about easements on State Trust Lands but were too afraid to ask, can be found HERE.

Research Topic
We investigate the impact of extracellular matrix properties on cell behavior, in particular in the context of angiogenesis. Specifically, we study how the interplay of matrix mechanics, degradability and adhesivity controls angiogenic sprouting. Since these parameters cannot be separated in in vivo tissues, we develop novel synthetic hydrogels with independently tunable matrix properties.
By integrating our hydrogels into microfluidic devices, we are able to closely mimic the process of angiogenic sprouting within a controllable environment. Taking a highly interdisciplinary approach, our research combines mechanistic cell biology studies with novel materials chemistry and platform engineering.

Delta Sigma Theta Bermuda Alumnae Chapter Book Fair is Truly About the Community
Bermuda's annual reading book fair hosted by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was held in Victoria Park on Saturday, November 5.
The book fair was about children getting books and having fun, and most importantly becoming better at reading and writing.
There were many activities for children such as musical chairs, red light, dance freeze and of course reading.
A member of the sorority read to little children seated around her in the bandstand.
Near the bandstand there was a book tent with tables full of books, free for the taking. In other tents there were arts and crafts, and if you wanted a snack, there were popcorn, cotton candy and drinks available.
Antonia Mills of the Delta Sigma Thetas said that the reading fair has been going on for 12 years.
She has worked at the fair for three to four years. During her time there, she said, it has been a very educational fair to help children with their writing and reading.
Later on, a parent, Lisa, who was doing arts and crafts with her son, said that the reading fair was very educational and that her son has improved in reading a lot for a two-year-old.
Françoise Wolff, who had just moved to Bermuda, said that it was her first time going to this book fair since she had moved here.
She had brought her son and said that she really enjoyed it and hoped to be back next year.
Nafiayah Rayner in Year 7 at the Bermuda High School for Girls (BHS) said in her opinion that the fair was more for little children and not for older children because she felt that they should have had books for over the grade six level.
She felt that it is what made the day for her a disappointment.
The Bermuda book fair was truly about the community. Kids from small to big could come and join the free, fun and educational fair which aimed to help people learn to read better.
