Gov. Bill Ritter's so-called hiring freeze wasn't much of a freeze at all, and it certainly isn't helping Colorado deal with the growing recession.
In early September, after the full force of the economic situation became clear, Ritter declared that state job candidates would be hired only if they had accepted a position by Sept. 25. The freeze, it should be noted, did come with the stipulation that the state would continue to fill critical jobs in public health and safety.
Yet, the week before the "freeze" was implemented, the state accelerated its hiring, putting an additional 121 employees — more than double the number hired the previous week — on the government payroll, making the freeze appear to be more of a political maneuver than a genuine effort to rein in hiring.
The governor's office claims that it froze 463 spots and saved the state $12 million. Yet, as Jessica Fender reported in The Post this week, a "review of hundreds of applications for exemptions shows that in three months, Ritter's office approved 326 new hires and promotions — out of 371 requests — that could cost the state more than $12 million."
It boggles the mind to think how a scratch-off lottery ticket salesperson, for instance, qualifies as an indispensable government position. And what about the addition of five seasonal potato inspectors or numerous administrative assistants?
In a time when the average Colorado business is struggling to survive and laying off employees, it behooves state government to act prudently in its own hiring practices. Moreover, as state tax revenues are shrinking and budgetary constraints are growing, the hiring of non-essential workers is a luxury Colorado simply cannot afford.
The Ritter administration has no business calling this slowdown in new government hires a "freeze" (even with provisos). But it is perplexing that the governor, knowing full well that public records would uncover what was going on, had not pre-emptively explained his thinking.
Now, Ritter has another minor controversy of his own making. In the past few weeks alone, he has had to deal with two other easily avoidable situations.
First, Ritter engaged in a debate in which he took an obstinate stand on the projected budget shortfall. As it's turning out, the governor's office was likely around $500 million or so off the mark. The second was the flawed process in two high-profile appointments that led to anger in the Latino community.
These sorts of political blunders put the governor on the defensive rather than allowing him to take the offensive in the vital work that lies ahead.

Speeders, text-message fans and those who won't wear seatbelts driving on Circle Drive have been targeted this week by traffic police trying to reduce collisions on the busy thoroughfare.
Wednesday was Day 3 of an aggressive enforcement campaign by the Saskatoon Police Service traffic unit which observed "collision hot spots" at some major intersections with Circle Drive in last month's crash statistics.

For some people, work just has to be in an office, factory, store, or any other environment that's separate from home. Even a second job would have to be in a separate place. For others, a home office is a welcome place for a secondary or even a primary job. If you're one of those people, you have some unique opportunities, but you also have some very particular challenges of working from home.
This can either be done locally or through an online service like Fiverr. Resumes are something that people can be very insecure and self-conscious about, which means there is always a demand for services that will help spruce them up. Holly Hanna from The Work at Home Woman wrote a really useful article on How to Make Money from Home with Resume Writing.
You could try advertising more, for example, by putting up signs around the neighborhood, posting about it on social media, or having people you know spread the word. You could also try doing it in a different neighborhood that might have friendlier people, or do it in a time and place where there's likely to be a lot of people walking around the area (e.g., near a church before the end of a mass).
Here's the best part: Pair your Bank Account with a Varo Savings Account where you'll earn 2.12% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) with the opportunity to earn up to 2.80% APY on up to $50,000 in savings. To qualify for the 2.80% rate, you'll need to have payroll or government direct deposits of $1,000 or more and authorize at least five purchases with your Varo debit card each month.
If Uber Eats or Lyft weren't a great fit, Uber is yet another option. By driving with Uber, you have the flexibility to drive whenever you want, which means you can start making money as soon as you are approved to drive, and it's all on your own schedule. They're currently offering a $1,050 bonus to new drivers in our area (Virginia Beach, VA) but that amount will vary based on your regional market. See their website for more details.
Hello I am 26 and just hit a huge life crisis wall! I had a great job and was let go out of the blue, with little to no money left for bills and other.. I was scheduled to drive home from Florida to Michigan tomorrow with my boyfriend and he has no idea I have only $400 to my name I have no idea what to do or how to get enough money to get me through this trip.. I already have found a new job but I don't start until we are back in 10 days ! I feel like I am so underwater!

17. Amazon – Have you heard of FBA? It stands for "Fulfilled by Amazon" and it's getting pretty popular. Basically, you buy products (in bulk is best) and ship them to Amazon for them to store. When your products sell, Amazon packs them up, ships them out and sends you the money (after taking their cut). There are people making a full-time living from FBA, while others just do it for some extra money.
How do I get started? To become an Interior Decorator (this is different from Interior Designer) I recommend starting a website, take quality photos of your work, ask friends and family if you can work for them at no charge to help add to your portfolio, once you've created a polished visualization of your work you can then start to charge for your service.
Do you love getting refunds? How cool would it be to get money back on stuff you've already bought? Paribus is a service that lets you find out if stores you've shopped at online owe you a refund. It's free to sign up. Paribus connects to your email account and checks your receipts. If they find out a retailer has dropped their price they file a price adjustment claim for you. Try out Paribus.
One of the best places to sell unwanted personal possessions is Decluttr, a website that buys used items directly from consumers. Unlike trade-in marketplaces such as Gazelle and auction websites such as eBay, Decluttr doesn't act as a middleman between buyers and sellers. Rather, it's best understood as a bulk buyer: an enterprise with deep pockets and an unsatiable appetite for used consumer products.
Tools. You don't need much to work as a home-based freelance writer, but there are some tools that you must have. The most important will be your computer. Get the fastest Internet access that you can afford. It doesn't matter what kind of computer you get. Just make sure you're comfortable enough to spend a lot of time with it. Most clients will request that you submit your work as a Microsoft Word document, so make sure that whatever programs you use are compatible. In addition, because you'll be spending so much time at the computer, make sure that you have a good work area with proper lighting. Some clients will want to be able to reach you by phone or Skype, so have both set up and accessible. You'll need an invoicing program, such as Quickbooks Payroll, and a good bookkeeping system to keep track of sales, orders, and accounts receivables.
Nice writing style Ben. I'm finding out very quickly that to make any money writing, you have to read, read, and then read some more, no matter how smart you feel you are on a subject, before writing your first sentence. I have always been a fan of multiple income streams and am thrilled by the ideas of proofreading, editing, blogging, freelancing and transcribing. Having spent one of my careers doing just that for a large corporation, it's a perfect fit, but now I can get credit for my work, thanks again for a great article.
Overall good ideas, but we need to define the idea of 'fast 100 bucks. Swagbucks is pretty slow as an income resource and it would take a while, not to mention selling stock photos is not something you do in 2 days. I tried this 4 years ago with my close to pro' photos and it took days to set up a small portfolio there with some outstanding work and yet made no sells.
However, with online employment comes fraudulent companies who scam job seekers into signing illegitimate offers. "There is currently a 61-to-1 scam ratio among work-at-home job leads on the internet — that is, for every legitimate job, there are 61 scams," says Christine Durst, cofounder of RatRaceRebellion.com and consultant to the FBI on internet scam.
Get-rich-quick schemes and fad weight-loss diets are naturally popular because they satisfy the id while also attending to the super-ego. The ego's job is complete when it sees something like this. The appeal of "fast'' stems from the innate desire for instant gratification, so beware of what seems too good to be true (they often are) when you're looking to make money quickly. Be wary. Listen to the conversation deep within the confines of your mind and do your best to tame the proverbial beasts.

MANILA, Philippines — Manila's Sampaloc district will be placed on total lockdown for 48 hours to curb the transmission of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a police official confirmed yesterday.
The lockdown will be enforced as soon as Mayor Isko Moreno completes the distribution of food packs and financial assistance to the residents, according to Manila Police District director Brig. Gen. Rolando Miranda.
"We are ready to implement the mayor's directive. Total lockdown means only health workers, uniformed personnel rendering emergency frontline services and police officers will be allowed to go in and out of the quarantine area," Miranda told The STAR.
As of yesterday, there were 432 cases of COVID-19 in Manila with 47 deaths.
Sampaloc recorded the highest number of cases with 95 followed by Tondo with 41. Fifty-six people have recovered from the disease.
Of the 601 suspected COVID-19 cases in the city, the Manila health department said 145 are from Sampaloc.
"Some residents are taking COVID-19 for granted. So the local government believes a total lockdown is needed to stop the movement of people and prevent the spread of the virus. We will impose it as soon as the guidelines come out," Miranda said.
Last month, Moreno shut down the Sampaloc Hospital after five doctors tested positive for the virus.
Moreno stopped the hospital's operations to give way to the disinfection of the medical facility and allow the frontliners to recover after attending to patients, who could have transmitted the virus.
According to the city public information office, 14 doctors, eight nurses and seven administrative personnel of the hospital went on quarantine.
On March 30, a lockdown was implemented in Trabajo Market along España Boulevard and adjacent streets after a meat vendor had tested positive for COVID-19.
Last week, Moreno placed Isla Puting Bato and Parola Compound in Barangay 20 on total lockdown for 24 hours after at least 100 residents were seen in a viral video gathering for an amateur boxing match along the street amid the enhanced community quarantine.
Moreno said they also received reports of bingo games held in the barangay that could exposed people to COVID-19 infection.

A jockey is someone who rides horses in horse racing or steeplechase racing, primarily as a profession. The word also applies to camel riders in camel racing.
The word is by origin a diminutive of jock, the Northern English or Scots colloquial equivalent of the first name John, which is also used generically for "boy" or "fellow" (compare Jack, Dick), at least since 1529. A familiar instance of the use of the word as a name is in "Jockey of Norfolk" in Shakespeare's Richard III. v. 3, 304.
In the 16th and 17th centuries the word was applied to horse-dealers, postilions, itinerant minstrels and vagabonds, and thus frequently bore the meaning of a cunning trickster, a "sharp", whence the verb to jockey, "to outwit", or "to do" a person out of something. The current meaning of a person who rides a horse in races was first seen in 1670.[1]
Another possible origin is the Gaelic word eachaidhe, a "horseman", (pronounced YACH-ee-yuh in late medieval times, with the ch pronounced as in German).[2] The Irish name Eochaid (YO-ked) is related to each (yek) "horse" and is usually translated as "horse rider". This is phonetically very similar to jockey.
Jockeys must be light to ride at the weights which are assigned to their mounts. There are horse carrying weight limits that are set by racing authorities. The Kentucky Derby, for example, has a weight limit of 126 lb (57 kg) including the jockey's equipment. The weight of a jockey usually ranges from 108 to 118 lb (49 to 54 kg).[3] Despite their light weight, they must be able to control a horse that is moving at 40 mph (64 km/h) and weighs 1,200 lb (540 kg).[citation needed] Though there is no height limit for jockeys, they are usually fairly short due to the weight limits. Jockeys typically stand around 4 ft 10 in (147 cm) to 5 ft 6 in (168 cm).[3]
Jockeys are normally self employed, nominated by horse trainers to ride their horses in races, for a fee (which is paid regardless of the prize money the horse earns for a race) and a percentage of the purse winnings. In Australia, employment of apprentice jockeys is in terms of indenture to a master (a trainer); and there is a clear employee-employer relationship. When an apprentice jockey finishes their apprenticeship and becomes a "fully fledged jockey", the nature of their employment and insurance requirements change because they are regarded as "freelance", like contractors. Jockeys often cease their riding careers to take up other employment in racing, usually as trainers. In this way the apprenticeship system serves to induct young people into racing employment.
Jockeys usually start out when they are young, riding work in the morning for trainers, and entering the riding profession as apprentice jockeys. It is normally necessary for an apprentice jockey to ride a minimum of about 20 barrier trials successfully before being permitted to ride in races.[clarification needed] An apprentice jockey is known as a "bug boy" because the asterisk that follows the name in the program looks like a bug.[4] All jockeys must be licensed and usually are not permitted to bet on a race. An apprentice jockey has a master, who is a horse trainer, and the apprentice is also allowed to "claim" weight off the horse's back: in handicapped races, more experienced riders will have their horses given an extra amount of weight to carry, whereas a jockey in their apprenticeship will have less weight on their horse, giving trainers an incentive to hire these less-experienced jockeys. This weight allowance is adjusted according to the number of winners that the apprentice has ridden. After a four-year indentured apprenticeship, the apprentice becomes a senior jockey[5] and usually develops relationships with trainers and individual horses. Sometimes senior jockeys are paid a retainer by an owner which gives the owner the right to insist the jockey ride their horses in races.
Racing modeled on the English Jockey Club spread throughout the world with colonial expansion.
The colors worn by jockeys in races are the registered "colors" of the owner or trainer who employs them. The practice of riders wearing colors probably stems from medieval times when jousts were held between knights. However, the origins of racing colors of various patterns may have been influenced by racing held in Italian city communities since medieval times.[citation needed] Such traditional events are still held on town streets and are known for furious riding and the colorful spectacle they offer.[6]
While the term "silks" is used in the United States to refer to racing colors, technically "silks" are the white breeches and bib, stock or cravat. Obtaining them is a rite of passage when a jockey is first able to don silken pants and colors in their first race ride.[citation needed] At one time silks were invariably made of silk chosen for being a lightweight fabric, though now synthetics are used instead. Silks and their colors are important symbols of loyalty and festivity.
Jockeys are superstitious. During some races, they prefer to wear certain colours because racers who wore those colours in those races previously have won more often than those who did not. On other occasions, such as when jockeys purchase or are given a new uniform, they often throw the silk on the ground, trample on it and soil it so as to ward off any similar misfortune during their next race. These aspects of jockey life contribute to the creation of a unique environment but also to understand the symbolic meanings that safety vests (worn under the silks to protect the torso areas) generate for these unique professionals.[7]
Many of the silks bear chequered patterns, polka dots, stripes or icons such as quatrefoils. The wearing of silks originated in the United Kingdom. They were first mentioned in 1515, and the current system was formally established in the 1700s. Horses are identified as they race by the colourful, traditional silk shirts and helmets their jockeys wear, these representing the horses' owners. The colours need to be significantly different to serve this purpose and are registered by 99 each Australian state's Principal Racing Authority (PRA).[8] The silks of famous jockeys, horses and owners can fetch high prices at auction, suggesting the esteem in which history and tradition are held in horse racing. Although Racing Australia requires that all jockeys wear approved helmets and safety vests, racegoers are unaware of this latter safety equipment as it is worn beneath the silks. Jockeys also wear a 'skivvy' under the silks. On race days the skivvy chosen is a lightweight mesh or microfibre bodysuit, sleeved or sleeveless, whereas, for track work, a more heavy-duty version may be worn. Summarising, during an Australian race day, jockeys must wear the following: the helmet (or skullcap), goggles, silks, vest, breeches, gloves, boots, saddle and girth and stirrups.
Various awards are given annually by organizations affiliated with the sport of thoroughbred racing in countries throughout the world. They include:
Horse racing is a sport where jockeys may incur permanent, debilitating, and even life-threatening injuries. Chief among them include concussion, bone fractures, arthritis, trampling, and paralysis. Jockey insurance premiums remain among the highest of all professional sports.[9] Between 1993 and 1996, 6,545 injuries occurred during official races for an injury rate of 606 per 1,000 jockey years.[10] In Australia race riding is regarded as being the second most deadly job, after offshore fishing. From 2002 to 2006 five deaths and 861 serious injuries were recorded.[6]
Eating disorders (such as anorexia) are also very common among jockeys, as they face extreme pressure to maintain unusually low (and specific) weights for men, sometimes within a five-pound (2.3 kg) margin.[11] The bestselling biography, Seabiscuit: An American Legend chronicled the eating disorders of jockeys living in the first half of the twentieth century. As in the cases of champion jockey Kieren Fallon and Robert Winston, the pressure to stay light has been blamed in part for jockeys suffering agonies of thirst from dehydration while racing.[12] Sports Dietitians Australia warns:"Dehydration and energy depletion may compromise concentration and coordination."[13] Indeed, recent research carried out in association with the Irish Turf Club measured the effects of rapid weight loss to make weight in professional and apprentice jockeys and found significant levels of dehydration; however, cognitive function was maintained, suggesting jockeys had become accustomed to performing in a dehydrated state and had potentially developed a preventative mechanism to enable them to perform under these conditions.[14]
In January 2016 it was announced that the International Concussion and Head Injury Research Foundation (ICHIRF) will run a new study. Named 'Concussion in Sport' it will be the first study to take a detailed look at the effects of concussion on sports people, including around 200 retired jockeys.[15]
Based on American statistics, women comprise only 14 percent of working jockeys and ride only 10 percent of all race starts. Only two percent ride at the elite level of Triple Crown races.
During the 1850s amateur "ladies only" events held in Victoria, Australia, women were not permitted to ride as professional jockeys or on professional tracks.
Although women jockeys were barred from riding at registered race meetings, in the mid-1900s Wilhemena Smith rode as Bill Smith at north Queensland racecourses. She was nicknamed Bill Girlie Smith because she arrived on course with her riding gear on under her clothes and did not shower on course. It was only at the time of her death in 1975 that the racing world was officially told that Bill was really Wilhemena. Subsequent inquiries proved that William Smith was actually a woman who had been born Wilhemena Smith in a Sydney hospital in 1886.[16] In an era when women were clearly denied equality, she had become known as a successful jockey in Queensland country districts as 'Bill Smith'. Elizabeth Williams Berry rode in Melbourne and internationally, disguised as a boy and using the name, Jack Williams.[17]
During the late 1960s restrictions against female trainers were lifted in Australia, but female jockeys were still confined to "ladies only" events, which were held on non-professional tracks. The Victoria Racing Club in 1974 permitted women jockeys to be registered for professional "ladies only" events. In 1978 racing rules in New Zealand were amended to permit women jockeys.
In Australia Pam O'Neill and Linda Jones, in 1979, were the pioneers that forced jockey club officials to grant women the right to compete on an equal footing in registered races against men. They were unquestionably the first women jockeys to be licensed to ride in the metropolitan areas of Australia. Previously women had been riding against men in Australia at the unregistered "all-height" meetings. Pam created a world record for any jockey, male or female, when she rode a treble at Southport on her first day's riding.[18] Australia's top woman jockey, Bev Buckingham, became the first woman in the Southern Hemisphere to win 1,000 races. In 1998, in a fall at the Elwick Racecourse (Hobart), she broke her neck. She used a wheelchair for some time afterward, but regained her strength and mobility and was able to walk again without assistance.[19]
In 2004-05 Clare Lindop won the Adelaide jockeys' premiership and became the first woman to win a metropolitan jockeys' premiership in mainland Australia. Lisa Cropp won the 2006 New Zealand jockeys' premiership for the second consecutive season.[20] In 2005, Andrea Leek became the first woman to ride the winner of the Grand National Hurdle (4,300 m) at Flemington when she won aboard Team Heritage.[21]
In New Zealand women are over 40% of jockeys.[22]
Women today account for 17% of jockeys in Victoria. But, they receive only 10% of the rides, and are often overlooked in favour of male jockeys, especially in the cities.[23] In some regions of Australia about half of the apprentice jockey intakes are women.[21]
Michelle Payne became the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup on 3 November 2015.[24]
Women were initially banned from racing under Jockey Club rules in Britain, though records indicate that women rode, disguised as men, as early as 1804.[25] In the Victorian era, Elizabeth Williams Berry of Australia, noted above, came to England and rode disguised as a man, continuing to use the name Jack Williams. To help her disguise, she smoked cigars and wore a bowler derby.[26] In the 20th century, after many years of debate, a series of a dozen races was approved for female jockeys in 1972. Meriel Patricia Tufnell overcame childhood disability to ride the novice Scorched Earth to victory in the first race, the Goya Stakes at Kempton Park on 6 May 1972.[27]
The first decade of the 21st century saw the profile of women jockeys rise considerably in British Flat racing. In 2005 Hayley Turner became Champion Apprentice rider, before becoming the first woman to ride 100 winners in a British season in 2008. Also in 2008, Kirsty Milczarek became the first woman to ride three winners at a single British race meeting, at Kempton in February. Milczarek rode 71 winners that year. This period saw the total number of female jockeys in British Flat racing rise significantly. Two further female jockeys have won the apprentice championship since Turner - Amy Ryan in 2012 and Josephine Gordon in 2016.[28] This change has not applied in National Hunt racing, though amateur riders Nina Carberry and Katie Walsh (sister of Ruby Walsh) have gained success in Ireland and ridden winners at the Cheltenham Festival.[29][30] In the 2010 National Hunt Chase at the Cheltenham Festival the winner and runner-up were both ridden by female jockeys. Katie Walsh was on board Poker de Sivola finishing ahead of Becauseicouldntsee which was ridden by Nina Carberry.[31]
On Boxing Day 2015 Lizzie Kelly became the first female jockey to win a grade one race in Britain, on Tea For Two in the Kauto Star Novices' Chase at Kempton Park.[32] Lizzie Kelly won another grade 1 in 2017. It was the Betway Bowl at the Grand National Festival, on Tea For Two. In the 2016/17 season Rachael Blackmore became the first female jockey to win the Irish Conditional Jockeys title.[33] In 2018 Lizzie Kelly became the first female professional jockey to ride a winner at the Cheltenham Festival. She rode Coo Star Sivola in the Ultima handicap chase. In 2019 Bryony Frost became the first female jockey to ride a grade 1 winner at the Cheltenham Festival. She rode Frodon in the Ryanair Chase.
Eliza Carpenter (1851 – 1924) was an early African-American race horse owner. In Ponca City, Oklahoma, she trained horses for racing, becoming one of the few African-American stable owners in the West.[34] When dissatisfied with the way a race was going, she sometimes would ride her own horses as a jockey, winning some races. Recorded names of her horses include "Irish Maid", "Blue Bird", "Jimmy Rain", "Sam Carpenter", and "Little Brown Jug", the last of which she reportedly raced at Tijuana, Baja California.[34]
Anna Lee Aldred[35] (1921 – 2006) was given a license at age 18 in 1939 at Agua Caliente Racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico when officials were unable to find a rule that would bar women jockeys and she finished second by a nose in her first professional race. Hollywood stuntwoman Alice Van-Springsteen (1918 - 2008) also rode as a jockey and was one of the first women ever to receive a trainer's license for Thoroughbred horses.
Wantha Davis[36] (1918 – 2012) was known to have won over 1,000 races in the 1930s, 40s and 50s, including a famous 1949, six furlong match-race against Johnny Longden at Agua Caliente.[37] She rode at some state-sanctioned pari-mutuel tracks, but without a license, most events were of the dusty county fair and half-mile variety of the western circuit. Even though she was always in demand as a training jockey, her applications for a license were turned down in state after state.
Twelve years after Davis retired, the "modern era of female jockeys" began when Olympic equestrian and show jumping competitor Kathy Kusner, who had also ridden as a jockey, successfully sued the Maryland Racing Commission for a jockey's license in 1967 under the Civil Rights Act.[38] She won her case in 1968 and became one of the earliest women to be licensed in the United States, though an injury prevented her from racing at the time.[39] In late 1968, Penny Ann Early was the first woman to earn a mount as a licensed Thoroughbred jockey in the U.S., when she entered three races at Churchill Downs in November, but the male jockeys announced a boycott of those races, and so she could not ride. On February 7, 1969, Diane Crump was the first licensed woman rider to ride in a parimutuel Thoroughbred race in the United States at the Hialeah Park Race Track in Florida. She required a police escort to get to the paddock.[40] Two weeks later, on February 22 at Charles Town in West Virginia, Barbara Jo Rubin became the first woman to win a race,[40] and went on to win 11 of her first 22.[41] Others soon followed suit and over the years American women jockeys have proven their ability. Julie Krone's 3,704 victories is the most by an American woman and As of June 2012[update], at least nineteen others have each ridden more than 1,000 winners.[42]
For the most part Canada has generally followed the lead of the U.S. in opportunities for women riders. Canada has far fewer tracks than the U.S. and to date Canada has only two female jockeys with 1,000 wins. However, in both actual and relative numbers as well as overall success rate, Canada has surpassed its southern neighbor in opportunities for women at the highest level; their respective Triple Crown series: Starting with Joan Phipps in the 1973 Breeders' Stakes, 10 different women have competed in 30 Canadian Triple Crown races, with a combined 2 wins, 3 places, 4 shows.[43][44][45] Moreover, while no US Triple Crown race has ever featured more than one female rider, that feat has occurred on 10 occasions in Canada, and 3 different women—Francine Villeneuve, Chantal Sutherland and Emma-Jayne Wilson—have raced in all three Canadian races. Sutherland has done it twice over and Wilson thrice over.
By comparison, since Diane Crump rode in the 1970 Kentucky Derby, six different women have competed in U.S. Triple Crown events, some multiple times: 10 times in the Derby, four times in the Preakness[46] and nine times in the Belmont.[47] with a combined record of one win,[47] one place,[47] one show.[48] Julie Krone is the only woman to have won a US Triple Crown race, on Colonial Affair in the 1993 Belmont.[47] With appearances in the 2011 Kentucky Derby, the 2012 Belmont Stakes and the 2013 Preakness Stakes, Rosie Napravnik became the first woman to ride in all three of the U.S. Triple Crown races.[49][50][51] In 2013, Napravnik also became the first woman to ride in all three US Triple Crown races in the same year, and is the only woman to have won the Kentucky Oaks, which she has won twice.[48]
To replace child jockeys whose use had been deplored by human rights organizations, a camel race in Doha, Qatar for the first time featured robots at the reins. On July 13, 2005, workers fixed robotic jockeys on the backs of seven camels and raced the machine-mounted animals around a track. Operators controlled the jockeys remotely, signalling them to pull their reins and prod the camels with whips.[52]

PELAGIC RECORDS 25th January 2019
After twenty years, Mono have just released their tenth album and, after all this time, there's no big surprise. Mono fans wouldn't want it any other way. The formula is hypnotic and effective and is celebrated here with more of the limpid beauty and brutal volume that has gained them such a reputation.
Lulled into a quiet thoughtfulness by the opening two minutes of string and horn sounds alongside the signature plucked guitar, buzzing and feedback builds up till the band lurches into a loud assault on the same patterns with drums pounding behind. This is their formula and the title track does much the same, with dragging drums and volume and tempo rising to a crescendo of shoe-gazing glamour before subsiding to quiet over a ten-minute span. Breathe breaks the pattern a little, staying thoughtful all the way through, with whispering female vocals adding to the atmosphere.
The band observe on the title: "If you put a space in the middle of the word "nowhere", it becomes "now here". This album was completed with the thought that by pouring the feeling of love and positivity into that one single space, you will be able to change everything."
Guitars become a distorted wall of maximum volume fuzz while the melody shrinks then reappears. This is a band that can do quiet but they don't half like doing loud as well. They are more about the massaging of the senses that any linear musical construct. Quiet moments flutter like mandolins, string sounds swell and subside, guitars burst out but only as a topiary-sculpted bank of sound. This is aural construction and works on variations on a theme, recurring across the album, making for a very civilised sonic workout.

Last summer I had the opportunity to visit one of the regions of the Russian Federation. I decided to look at the deepest lake in the world - lake Baikal.
The road was very tedious. First, the flight to Moscow, and then 5000 km to the lake on the "off-road" otherwise these roads will not be called. The journey itself took me 4 days, but it was worth it.
No wonder lake Baikal is called the eighth wonder of the world - the nature here is simply knockable. I spent almost a week at the lake living in a tent. It was a clean buzz. The crystal clear water, roasting on an open fire meat and vegetables.. I have provided myself with a store of emotions and memories for a long time. This is probably one of the best places I've been.
But all this would not have happened if not for a very positive guy Valera, who at a car rental office (in Moscow) advised to take an SUV for travel more suitable for military operations, and not for trips across the country. But then I came to realize and thank this funny guy for such good advice. Toyota Sequoia is really a car for Russian roads.
My return to Moscow took longer - about 6 days, because I was under the impression of what I saw and I wanted to still enjoy some of the sights along the way.
Russia is a country of contrasts. Here, unrealistically beautiful nature merges with absolutely impoverished villages, mega cities of millions and semi-deserted small towns in the Outback. But this, I think, is the whole attraction of Russia. I would like to say a few words about my stay in Moscow.
The capital was pleased with its architectural attractions and beautiful parks, skyscrapers and of course the Kremlin. Also here I met with wonderful Russian people and learned to swear)), almost got into a fight in one of the bars and spent almost all the money that I had left in the casino. But I will tell you about this in the next posts.

I was invited to take pictures at a Bridal Expo at the Mebane Arts & Community Center. A friend of mine was modeling. This was my first experience with taking pictures at a fashion show like setting.
Snow Day #1
Here's the first series of snow pictures when Graham had its biggest snow in years. This was a few weeks ago, but there were a whole lot of pictures to go through.
These pictures are my first attempts at shooting portraits. Since taking these I've kind of gathered an interest in taking pictures of people, because these turned out pretty well. These are taken of my sister, Maddie and my girlfriend, Kayla.

US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo criticized HSBC Holdings Plc for backing China's move to impose national security legislation in Hong Kong, underscoring the increasing political pressures on multinationals dependent on the former British colony.
Pompeo accused the London-based banking giant in a statement Tuesday of assisting the Chinese Communist Party's "coercive bully tactics" against the U.K. The criticism by the top U.S. diplomat comes after one of the largest shareholders in HSBC and Standard Chartered Plc expressed discomfort with the banks' decision to support the legislation without knowing its provisions and how they will be used.
"The CCP's browbeating of HSBC, in particular, should serve as a cautionary tale," Pompeo said. "That show of fealty seems to have earned HSBC little respect in Beijing, which continues to use the bank's business in China as political leverage against London." Pompeo added: "Free nations deal in true friendship and desire mutual prosperity, not political and corporate kowtows." HSBC's U.S. clearing license is vital to its global operations, and it's one of the largest international banks operating in America. The lender recently hired James Forese, until recently a senior executive at Citigroup Inc. to its board as it looks to revamp its global business including its underperforming U.S. unit.
HSBC and Standard Chartered Plc have also been facing investor disquiet over their stance. On Tuesday, Aviva Investors became the first shareholder to come out publicly and criticize the banks. The investor in both firms said it was "uneasy" about their decision to back the law. Aviva Investors is among the largest shareholders in both banks and its combined stake with its combined stake worth about $1 billion.
Pensions & Investment Research Consultants Ltd., Europe's largest independent corporate governance and shareholder advisory firm, questioned whether all board members of both banks were fully behind the decision to support China's proposed legal changes in Hong Kong.
However, Pirc singled out HSBC. "On occasions when HSBC hasn't liked something in the U.K., such as ring fencing of banks to prevent the British taxpayer guaranteeing global operations of banks, or more recently the Bank of England asking it not to pay a dividend, it has threatened to relocate to Hong Kong," said Tim Bush, a spokesman for Pirc, in a statement sent to Bloomberg News.
"In the situation where there are serious problems in Hong Kong, it seems to behave differently." The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. A Hong Kong-based spokeswoman for HSBC declined to comment. Representatives of Ping An Insurance Group Co. and Vanguard Group, two major HSBC investors, also declined to comment.
Political Risk
The statement shows how difficult it's getting for companies to manage political risks amid the increasingly contentious relationship between the world's two largest economies. HSBC and Standard Chartered are both headquartered in London, but make most of their profits in Asia. Hong Kong accounted for more than $12 billion of HSBC's pretax profits last year.
Chinese President Xi Jinping's government has become increasingly assertive in efforts to force foreign nations, companies and individuals to support its sovereignty over places like Hong Kong and Taiwan. Last year, the chief executive officer of Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. resigned after China rebuked the Hong Kong-based carrier for its staff's participation in a historic wave of pro-democracy protests.
Last month, China's parliament announced and quickly approved a resolution that would impose legislation on Hong Kong criminalizing the harshest criticism against the government. Several of the city's richest tycoons and their representatives have endorsed the move, even though pro-democracy advocates and a number of U.S. and U.K. officials have expressed concern that it would jeopardize the "high degree of autonomy" promised to Hong Kong before its return to Chinese rule in 1997.
The banks' stance on China's plans has already attracted political criticism in the U.K. Jacob Rees-Mogg, the governing Conservatives' house leader, told lawmakers last week that HSBC may be more closely "aligned with the Chinese government than Her Majesty's government." Senior politicians from the opposition Labour Party said the banks' positions were "completely at odds with the values framework in which financial institutions should be operating."
Pompeo's "kowtow" reference is loaded with historical significance, since China's demands that British envoys prostrate themselves before the emperor were an early source of tension that helped precipitate trade-and-military clashes between the two powers in the 19th century. The U.K. took possession of Hong Kong in the Opium Wars, making it a base for British companies like HSBC, and beginning what China views as its "century of humiliation." - Bloomberg

Biomaterials are manufactured materials which can be utilized to supplant harmed part or capacity in the human body. Biomaterials can be inferred as materials that are perfect with the human body and can be embedded into the human body to supplant an infected part or irregular capacity.
Bionanomaterials are made incompletely or totally out of organic atoms and bringing about structures having a Nano-scale-measurement. Attractive nanomaterials are the attractive particles of Nanosize that are having selective attractive properties. They are existing in various structures, for example, dry powders, as surface functionalized. These Bionanomaterials will have potential applications as novel filaments, sensors, glues, and so forth. Nano biomaterials represent 28.3% of the piece of the overall industry. Nano biomaterials are utilized for recovery rehearses, disease treatment, and the polymeric ones are significant for quality conveyance frameworks.

It is important to know at any age!
University of Miami psychologist Arnold Lieber states a possible link between the fact that the human body is made up of nearly 80% water to the possibility that we experience "biological tides" effecting our emotions during different phases of the moon, the same as the oceanic tides are effected by the moon's activity.
and here is another
With such intriguing results before them, the team of astronomers studied the data to determine if Kepler-22b actually has a moon. Unfortunately, their analysis reveals no evidence for the existence of an exomoon circling Kepler-22b. This non-detection suggests that the mass of any companion world around Kepler-22b must be less than 0.54 times the mass of our planet--with an impressive confidence rate of 95%! Therefore, it is very unlikely that Kepler-22b is circled by an Earth-like moon. Nevertheless, it is still too soon to give up hope. The Hunt for Exomoons with Kepler project has studied nine planetary systems in search of exomoons. Although none were detected, with the team's new results about the possibility of finding Earth-sized moons and the remaining treasure trove of Kepler data to sift through, large and possibly even habitable exomoons may start being spotted in the near future.
and finally
In order to do precisely that, Dr. Li and Dr. Milliken used laboratory-based measurements of samples returned from the Apollo missions, combined with a detailed temperature profile of the areas of interest on the lunar surface. Using the new thermal correction, the two astronomers studied the data derived from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper, which is an imaging spectrometer that was carried aboard India's Chandrayaan-1 lunar orbiter.

More information:
The vanished, ill-fated, large moon could have been a few hundred kilometers in diameter. The large moon would also have allowed a handful of other smaller moons to form--including the duo of small, shapeless ones that survive today. However, this large inner moon would have been born close to or within the Roche limit. This is why it is likely that it crashed into Mars as a result of tidal forces within several million years--and the collection of other small moons followed their leader. Only Phobos and Deimos kept their distance.
Crida and Charnoz tested their new model to find out whether it could be applied to other planets in addition to Saturn. Their investigation has brought to light several valuable facts. This scenario for moon-birth from planet-rings succeeds in offering an explanation as to why the largest moons dwell farther away from their parent planet than the smaller moons. It further explains the gathering of moons close to the Roche limit--their birthplace--on the outermost fringes of the rings. This distribution is in agreement with what is seen in the Saturn-system. The same scenario can also apply to the moons of other giant planets, such as the ice-giants Uranus and Neptune. The Uranus-system and the Neptune-system are also organized in a similar way. This discovery suggests that long ago, when these planets were young, they also sported impressive rings like those of Saturn--which ultimately vanished when their moons were born. Finally, this scenario can also explain the formation of Earth's Moon, and the moons of the dwarf planet Pluto. According to Crida and Charnoz's calculations, under special circumstances a single moon--like Earth's own--can be born from a primordial ring around its planet. This may well have occurred in both the case of Earth's single large Moon, and for Pluto's largest moon, Charon.
As you can see we have a pair of eclipses occurring in July (actually they often travel in pairs).You can think of eclipses as New and Full Moons that pack a wallop. Eclipses are pivotal times that spark the beginning of changes that will become obvious 6 months down the line. Where eclipses fall in relation to your personal chart will show you which areas of your life are most impacted by their energy. I have found this to be a very important indicator of where to focus your energy for change and growth.
