Ted Corbitt 24-hour Race
The Ted Corbitt 24 Hour Race
organized by the Broadway Ultra Society
by Arpan DeAngelo
November 8-9, 2003, Astoria Park, N.Y.C
Considered by many as the father of long distance running and racing in the U.S. and still a humble figure in the ultra-running community in the New York City area where he lives, Ted Corbitt at age 84, never ceases to amaze the running and non-running community alike. In an official 24 Hour race held in Queens, New York City, this past weekend (Nov. 8-9) held in his honor, Ted walked, with no significant rest breaks, a distance of 68.93 miles. The temperature dipped to 30F, or just below freezing, and colder than that with a stiff wind chill in our faces coming out of the north. Luckily the sun helped warm us up a bit as we started out at 10 o'clock Saturday morning at Astoria Park, under the Triboro Bridge and next to the East River.
I forgot just how challenging and difficult a 24 hour race is, not having done one in many years. But having done many other ultra-marathons including multi-day races, I felt that I could handle this race even though I was not properly trained for it specifically. To stay on the course, which in this case was a quarter mile rubberized track, for the whole 24 hours when your body would naturally want to sleep at night and you've run or walked usually much more than a mere 26 mile marathon already, is a challenge not many runners dare to face.
To be in such a race to honor Ted and to be running and walking with him personally in the race was an opportunity and an honor too great for me to pass up. I ran in this particular race which was administered by the Broadway Ultra Society, or B.U.S., ten years ago to honor the 20th Anniversary of Ted's 24 Hour American Record he set at the age of 54. This time, ten years later, the race celebrated the 30th Anniversary of that same achievement. But now ten years older, Ted still walked the whole time. Out of 35 participants, Ted placed 17th and was by far the oldest participant at age 84.
When I am with Ted for such an extended period of time I really see and feel the profound qualities of humility and dedication. Ted's contributions to the sport of long distance running are too extensive to list here. Briefly, Ted is one of the founders and first president of the New York Road Runners Club as well as founder of its newsletter, and first president of the Road Runners Club of America, as well as a key figure in establishing the NYC Marathon. According to Ted and many others his most important contribution to long distance running was developing and establishing the standardization methods for certification of running courses around the world. Without those methods of certification, we would never know if any10K races, marathons, etc. were exactly the same. Consequently, world and course records would be meaningless.
Ted has also run over 200 marathons and ultra-marathons including several American records at various distances. He was a member of the 1952 U.S. Olympic Team, competing with immortals such as Emil Zatopek. However, unlike most of the runners of his day who have either virtually quit running or just naturally passed away, Ted still remains strongly involved in the running community setting numerous age records and defying his age and our own limited understanding of self-transcendence.
Ted is a quiet and humble individual, saving his energy for meaningful pursuits rather than for his own self-glorification. Walking with him in the race or passing him on the track as he continues to walk relentlessly to his goals, one always gets the sense that the greatness of this human being comes not through his achievements but from his goodness. Although Ted has much to be proud about in terms of personal achievements, anyone who gets to know him even briefly can see that his immortality is being formed not only by his unwavering self-transcendence, but more importantly by his soft, unassuming humility and respect for all human beings. If this is what we can learn from Ted and derive from long distance running and racing, then I would say that I am glad and proud to be in the same sport as Ted and learn the same lessons that this truly immortal man has learned and has conveyed to others by his exemplary life.
On the more mundane level of physical effort and discipline, I was inspired by Ted to persevere in this seemingly endless race until the last tick of the clock. To be running and walking in circles minute after minute and hour after hour with only an occasional restroom break can seem to some like a futile pursuit. Whether it is a 400 metre loop, or a mile loop or an out and back or continuous course, I felt that once I focused my mind and energy in the right place, it is just a matter of relaxing into a steady pace and keeping my energy level up through hydration and food.
This particular race had a few extra challenges besides the time factor. It started out a 42 degrees F. and got colder from thereon. Although the sun was shining during the day which definitely helped matters a bit, there also was a strong wind from the north coming right off of the East River. In this case it is important to dress warmly in layers. If you are too warm and start sweating a lot, then you can get a chill when you run into the wind. Depending on your own metabolism, it is best to be flexible in the amount of gear you wear. Some people wore shorts while others were bundled up. I would take off my hat on the tailwind side and put it on when I ran into the wind..
I personally knew that I could not go all out in this race as I was not prepared to take it that seriously on a physical level. But I do have the attitude in this race as in any other race that since I am putting out all this effort and energy, I might as well use it to make some progress.on the spiritual level. Using various breathing techniques and some chanting or singing, I tried to effortlessly move in a way that did not entirely depend on time and space. In other words, although I was physically going forwards and getting credit for each lap, I did not want to focus on the distance or time as my primary goal. If one thinks too much about distance and time in a long race such as this, one can easily lose inspiration and develop doubts or fear long before they reach the goal. Learning to be very much in the present moment only with the mind, body and soul, is an important factor in this type of race. Ted seems to do that quite well.
Since I was not really competing with anyone intentionally nor was I trying to prove anything to anyone, I tried to relax into a pace and rhythm that would keep me going for as long as possible, Although this may sound inspiring and somewhat effortless, it takes tremendous focus and discipline while having to also be aware of one's energy level, body temperature, and condition of certain muscles and skin to avoid cramping and blistering.
This method seemed to be working for me for the first half of the race. In 12 hours I covered 67 miles which I would have been happy with even for a 12 hour race with my present level of fitness. Richie, the race director, was thinking about turning it into a 12 hour race when the weather got colder and colder and there were some problems with the heaters for the helpers and in the rest areas. After consulting a number of runners and Ted himself, who Richie was most worried about, it was decided to keep the race going through the cold windy night until 10 a.m. when it was originally scheduled to finish. Part of me was happy to keep going and try to reach the original goal of 24 hours while another part of me would have felt tremendous relief and a certain amount of happiness at finishing early.
Needless to say, the second half of the race was much more difficult for obvious reasons. The weather had gotten 10F degrees colder, my legs were getting much weaker and tighter and the tendency to want to sleep at night started setting in at around the same time. Fortunately I recognized two significant things that helped me to deal with these difficulties somewhat.
The first was seeing Ted staying the course and having to go through all the challenges we were facing. At age 84 and having more accomplishments under his belt than a dozen men half his age, he could easily have been home in a comfortable chair with a nice book and a cup of hot soup and nobody would have thought the lesser of him. Herein lies his greatness and here I was I was being part of it. After being around Ted I could never face giving up because of a few discomforts, tiredness and a bit of pain.
Another special treat which created a pleasant diversion for us all was a full moon with a lunar eclipse which happened from 8 p.m. until about midnight. Watching a full bright moon disappear into the shade of the very planet we were running on and then reappearing again within two hours was an energizing experience. To think that the moon has been doing laps around the earth for billions and billions of years at the same pace without once thinking about how far that is or worrying about the purpose of it all, and that we complain about a few hours around a tiny track because of a few discomforts, I felt that from this perspective it really was not a big deal to be able to finish this race. After all, we were now over half way through, Although at least half the runners either quit or went inside the warm building to rest or sleep, I knew that if I kept my mind focused on only the positive things that were energizing and inspiring me that I would do much better than I could possibly do otherwise and enjoy the experience much more.
Needless to say, this approach worked along with a nice breakfast of fresh pancakes and a newly rising sun starting to raise the cold temperatures a few degrees. More importantly though, there was Ted, trudging around like a diehard rechargeable battery. Whenever I passed Ted, which was about every other lap, I would greet him or ask how he was doing. Usually he replied with a positive"O.K.", or just a friendly nod. Sometimes he was smiling and sometimes he seemed to be just trying to stay awake. In the cold of the night he wore a winter hat under his hood that covered most of his face and it seemed as if he was ageless.
Earlier in the race I had noticed him wearing a hat I had given him for his 84th birthday back in January. Although I had purchased it in the tropical north of Australia, I felt that it would come in handy someday for Ted. This was a pleasant surprise that he chose this day to make good use of the gift I had given him ten months earlier.
I was fortunate enough to be with Ted in the last five minutes of the race and walk with him until the final whistle. For me this was an experience that made the long and cold 24 hours up to that point all worthwhile. Although I felt some joy at what seemed like my own accomplishment of 112 miles and fourth place overall, I was much more uplifted and honored by Ted's accomplishments. I was fortunate to be able to participate with Ted in this event along with the other 33 runners and many helpers and the B.U.S., without whom this would not have been possible. Since our achievements pale in comparison to Ted's, I did not go into detail about the final results.

The Passing of a Friend: ultrarunning legend Al Howie
On June 21, 2016, the ultrarunning community lost a great runner and beloved friend, Al Howie. Al competed in many of our ultra races, and at his prime he was a formidable foe that cut a dashing figure with his beard and accent. In 1989, Al became first person to ever run 1300 miles in a certified race when he won the Sri Chinmoy 1300 Mile Race. In 1991 he returned after running across Canada that summer in 72 days (averaging 63 miles a day over mountains and prairies), breaking his own 1300 mile record by several hours. In the following article, Arpan De Angelo reminisces about his long-time friend:
One night as I sat eating in Annam Brahma Restaurant in Queens, New York, a familiar figure walked in. It was Al Howie, bags in tow, looking like he was travel-weary and hungry. I had not seen Al since we ran in a Sri Chinmoy 24 hour race in Ottawa six years ago. Now he was here to run 1,300 miles in the Ultra Trio. I greeted Al and invited him to sit down and eat.
During dinner, I was inspired by his friendly manner and courage. He had just travelled four days by bus from Vancouver Island to get here and was determined to become the first runner in history to complete 1,300 miles in a certified race. His enthusiasm was contagious, and I decided to help Al in any way I could. I invited him to stay at my place for the three days before the race was to start. This gave me an opportunity to get to know one of the greatest ultra runners of all time.
Photo: Al Howie (l) became the first runner to complete the 1,300 mile distance. Stefan Schlett (r) also completed the distance.
The following day I participated in the Sri Chinmoy 24 Hour TAC/USA National Championship in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Al offered to be my handler. This was probably the first 24 hour race that Al attended as a volunteer instead of a runner. He had run in about 20 such races, winning most of them, usually with 140-150 miles. At the time, he also held the current 24 hour record (150.2 miles) for both Scottish citizens and Canadian residents. Although I had placed second in this race last year with 130 miles, I had to drop out at 92 miles because of an unexplainable dizziness and leg cramps. Anyway, Al stayed on, assisting throughout the night in whatever capacity he was needed. He was inspired by the intensity of Ann Trason's great performance – a woman's world record for 100 miles (13:55:02) and winning the race overall with 143 miles. Helping around the clock in the 24 hour primed him for the incredible challenge he was about to undertake.
Al was no stranger to the flat, fast one mile loop in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. He won the Sri Chinmoy Seven Day here last May in his first multi-day race. In fact, Al won every race he ran this year, including a 12 hour August 13 in Victoria, B.C. (82+ miles), a 50 mile June 10 on Vancouver Island in a 'slow' 6 hours and 30 minutes, and finally the seven day in May here in New York City.
Besides those performances, he told me how he had intensified his training, averaging 160 miles or more per week for most of the year in preparation for the 1,300 mile. Also, he started weight training for both upper body and legs, about one and a half hours every other day. On those days he would only run 15 miles; on the days between he would run 30 miles.
At age 44, he was in the best physical condition of his life.

On September 18th Al and ten other intrepid runners, including one woman, started their first steps on the long 1,300 mile journey. Al ran 113 miles the first day comfortably, but had a more conservative strategy for the remainder of the race. His schedule would be to average just over 70 miles a day after that. He soon discovered that walking some sections of every loop helped him to maintain his energy and strength through the long days and nights. He took meal breaks three times a day, usually for a half hour or less, but enjoying big meals with plenty of high carbohydrate and nutritional foods. He would also take small snacks regularly throughout the day and night. Water was his main drink but he also had electrolyte replacement drinks and an occasional coffee. He slept three hours every night, usually from around 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. In the daytime he would put his feet up or even lie down for a short time when feeling a bit road weary.
Al was a self-sufficient runner who never complained or demanded too much from anyone. It impressed me the way he maintained a positive mental attitude no matter how tired. He was friendly to the other runners and seemed to draw positive energy from them. I thought this was a great factor in his favor along with the awesome physical condition that he was in. Day by day he kept faithfully to his schedule. He completed 573 miles in the first week, 62 miles more than his winning effort in the seven day race in May.
Although Al ran just as intensely the second week as the first, he still took time to be civil and friendly. He was working hard in this race, leading from the first mile to the last, yet like the legendary baseball player Joe DiMaggio, he made it look so easy. He seemed to have the knack of keeping his energy level high throughout the long days and even longer nights.
At 13 days +00:27:37 he completed 1,000 miles, making him the fourth fastest in the world at the distance. Prior to this, Al's longest distance had been 876 miles in 11 days +03:18:00 on a solo journey run the length of Britain, the best time for that course. Another mark that he held that that time was nonstop running – 361 miles (580 km) with only five minutes rest allowed per hour. But now he was on his way to an uninhabited realm. After 13 days of hard running, he still had 300 more miles to cover before the 18 day cut-off.
Al approached the third and final week cautiously. Realizing he was becoming tired much earlier in the day than before, he increased his sleep time to four hours per night. He took more short breaks during the day, but still maintained around 70 miles per day. He was now paying closer attention to the condition of his feet, which had developed a few small blisters. On the fifteenth day, with less than 150 miles to go, he discovered that his right calf was much larger than his left. The medical staff determined that it was just a strange case of fluid retention, as there was no pain or injury related to the swelling. Keeping it wrapped, icing it occasionally, and being very cautious about any other unexpected surprises that could stop him dead in his tracks, Al carried on his mission cheerfully and courageously. The swelling went down.
Finally, to the cheers and hurrahs of the assembled crowd, carrying the Canadian flag and the Scottish lion-rampant battle flag, with his beard and long golden hair flowing – Al finished the 1,300 miles in 17 days +08:25:34, becoming the first person ever to go that distance under certified race conditions.
Three years ago, when Sri Chinmoy stipulated an 18 day cutoff for 1,300 miles, some of us felt that it was not enough time, that no one except perhaps Yiannis Kouros would be able to do it. Sri Chinmoy felt the challenge would inspire runners to transcend themselves. This year three did. At the awards ceremony Al paid tribute to a man with the vision, concern and inspiration to put on such races. He said: 'Finishing this race was the greatest moment of my life. I'm not a disciple of his, but I am dedicating this race to Sri Chinmoy.'
These results are incredible and may stand for some time. But the most amazing thing for me and many other people who supported Al in his victory was the fact that this friendly, keen-witted Scotsman accomplished a previously impossible endurance feat with considerable grace and poise. This was testimony to the true stature of Al Howie, who has established himself as one of the greatest ultra distance runners of all time.

An interview with our eleven-time Channel swimmer, Karteek Clarke
Nirbhasa is originally from Ireland but currently lives in Reykjavik, Iceland. He is an enthusiastic multi-day runner, having twice completed both the Ten Day Race and the Sri Chinmoy Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race - the longest race in the world.
Hiyamallar Shalom spent a few days with our eleven-time Channel Swimmer Karteek Clarke in his Edinburgh home, and pressed him for a few stories about his Channel swimming feats:
Picture this: it is a beautiful summer morning, and you are awakened by the sound of Bach being played on the violin as the sun splashes through the windows of your room in a lovely tree-lined city with almost fairytale architecture...idyllic, perhaps. On the other hand, you are crazy cold, hugging your blanket, because this is Edinburgh, a city which has no decent respect for the seasons, and your flatmate has already a) gotten up b) gone to the Commonwealth Pool (in the early morning!) and c) swum laps for hours. So begins another day in Scotland in the flat of Karteek Clarke, swimmer extraordinaire.
While I was staying in Endinburgh with Karteek, I was able to have my ever-modest, if not self-effacing friend, talk about some aspects of his swimming not found elsewhere. I began by asking how he got the initial inspiration to take up long-distance swimming.
In 1994, after reading some of the thrilling adventures of our earlier Channel swimmers, Karteek had the idea that he might like to try doing this. However, unlike most people (such as 99.99% of us), he went down to Dover shortly after and spent only a few weeks swimming in the harbor, perhaps doing one six-hour swim, his longest swim ever up to that time! (to put this in perspective, he routinely does two back-to-back days of six hours each for his crossings these days)
Three weeks later he attempted his first Channel swim, and achieved an incredible twelve hours in his first experience of swimming in open water, before his inexperience and relative lack of training led to an end of that try. The following year, after having had more time to prepare, he was fully trained and ready to go, but one hour prior to the scheduled departure of his boat, the weather turned and he lost his spot. Due to other commitments, he was unable to stick around and try again.
Finally, in 1997 he had his breakthrough first successful Channel crossing, which he describes as a "long hard swim" that took 11 hours and 57 minutes. That August, he vistied Sri Chinmoy in New York, and recieved his spiritual name, Karteek, the basic meaning being that of the "Divine warrior", who "places his teeming victories at the feet of the Lord Supreme".
In 1999 Karteek successfully entered and completed the Lake Zürich 26-km race put on by the Swiss Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team. He had an excellent experience, and this reenergized his swimming. Thus inspired, he wondered if he could repeat his earlier crossing and decided to give it another go in 2000. What followed was one of his most difficult races, in windy conditions and with the development of sea sickness, which took him over fifteen hours to complete!
At point afterwards, Sri Chinmoy called and asked Karteek how many times he had swum the Channel. When he was told that he had done it twice, he asked Karteek to swim the Channel two more times. Karteek agreed readily and proceeded to do just that, undergoing adverse conditions and having difficult crossings on each occasion. After four successful crossings, Sri Chinmoy again called and this time told Karteek that he should swim the Channel three more times!
In reminiscing about these phone calls, Karteek remembers that while outwardly at times he might wonder what the point would be in repeating the swim, in each case Sri Chinmoy acted as the "perfect psychologist" as he puts it. To quote Karteek, he "picked up on my wish" to keep challenging himself, and his request came at just the right moment each time. On every occasion he was asked to swim the Channel, he had the feeling of intense joy, adding that he never felt forced to do this event, recognizing that Sri Chinmoy was confirming what he already felt - despite the fact that the fifth, sixth, seventh (and even the eighth) crossings were all accomplished under difficult conditions and took over sixteen hours! Sri Chinmoy told him that while patience was needed to do long distance swimming, "you also need to develop speed," as "speed is determination".
Now that Sri Chinmoy is no longer with us physically, Karteek still feels an inner urge to continue his Channel swimming; he has completed eleven at the time of writing.

BEN'S BLITZ: Four downs from Week 2 of the NFL season
Ben Destefan
A look at four downs (takeaways) from Week 2 of the NFL season:
1ST DOWN — Denver's dominant "D"
There's nothing flashy about the Denver Broncos, who perhaps made the biggest statement of the weekend. Not only did Denver beat Dallas, the Broncos dominated the recently-rising Cowboys during a 42-17 drubbing at Mile High.
Yes, the Broncos benefitted from playing at home, as they always do. But, holding top-tier running back Ezekiel Elliott to 8 yards behind one of the league's top offensive lines needs to turn some heads.
Denver forced Dallas to throw the ball — both in scheme and score — with a stellar effort defensively. While quarterback Trevor Siemian isn't exactly a superstar at this point in his career, complemented by this defense, he doesn't have to be. Remember, the Broncos won the Super Bowl just two seasons ago despite Peyton Manning looking nothing like one of the game's all-time greats.
Competing in the loaded AFC West with Oakland and Kansas City, it'll be a tough road for Denver. If the Broncos can continue to suffocate teams, however, Denver will be a very legitimate threat.
2ND DOWN — Struggles in Seattle
Seattle survived San Francisco, 12-9. Ultimately, a win is a win. Even so, there needs to be concern regarding the Seahawks' offensive struggles.
Through two games, Seattle has scored all of 21 total points. If not for another strong showing defensively — and playing one of the league's worst teams — the Seahawks could very well be sitting at 0-2.
Losing on the road at Green Bay in Week 1 wasn't any real surprise. Barely escaping a rebuilding 49ers team in front of the feared "12th man" is alarming.
Seattle still has not addressed a porous offensive line, producing an inconsistent running attack while causing Russell Wilson to routinely improvise.
Considered by most to be a real contender in the NFC, the Seahawks need to clean things up, and fast.
3RD DOWN — Bucs seize moment
I realize it's one game. But it's hard not to like the Buccaneers.
After postponing last week's opener because of Hurricane Irma, Tampa Bay came out firing en route to a 29-7 romp of the Chicago Bears.
Now, I don't think the Bears are very good. So that certainly played a part. Still, that doesn't diminish the performance of a young and hungry Buccaneers squad poised to take the next step.
Feeding off the support of its city during a difficult time, Tampa Bay seized the opportunity, unlike the Houston Texans a week ago.
Regardless of outside opinions, quarterback Jameis Winston is the perfect leader for this team on the field, with his endless energy becoming contagious. Mike Evans is one of the most underrated receivers in football and the addition of DeSean Jackson should pay dividends after he gets acclimated.
Personally, I feel like the Buccaneers are a year away from really challenging. Although I wouldn't be stunned in the least if they're very much in the mix come playoff time.
4TH DOWN — Falcons fly high
Last week's ho-hum showing at Chicago begged the question: Will Atlanta experience a Super Bowl hangover?
While no one is going to let the Falcons forget about blowing a 28-3 lead in February, Atlanta did quiet some of the haters during Sunday night's pounding of Green Bay.
In a primetime matchup of two NFC heavyweights, the Falcons proved to be the class of the conference by overwhelming the Packers in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the 34-23 final would indicate.
It was a grand opening for Atlanta's new stadium, where the Falcons maintain aspirations of raising a banner. History isn't on the side of the Super Bowl loser the following season. The Falcons have the personnel to change that.
EXTRA POINT
Starting 0-2 severely hurts a team's playoff chances. We know this. Washington faced what amounted to a must-win game in Los Angeles. It wasn't always pretty, but the Redskins found a way. No reason to push the panic button in D.C. — yet.

Q: What is the best aproach in limiting django model entries I have a model Events that has a ForeignKey to Users. What will be the best approach to limit users to post only one event. In the models, in the view or both?
I've set a variable in settings.py because at some point the users will be able to increase their "quota" of events so a OneToOneField isn't an option.
Edit
I forgot to mention that the defaults are set to Users.
My logic was this:
I have two types of users. One type that can only have one entry in Events but at some point they can increase their 'quota' and will be allowed to enter more events based on default + increased quota.
The other type of users can have as many entries in Events as they want.
I thought that putting the limit on the Users table was more reasonable than to set limits on the Events. Am I wrong?

A: I think you may use pre_save signal to validate events count.
I'd add field number to event table and unique key by (user_id, number)
pre_save get last number from events and compare it with quota if last number greater then quote - raise an error
unique index need to ensure that two events won't save parallely

Hey, it turns out climate change isn't all bad news! I mean, sure, the good news isn't exactly universal, but if you're, say, British, love subtropical jellyfish, and are afraid of saltwater — or on the flip side, if you're a subtropical jellyfish who's always dreamed of visiting the ancestral homeland of Welsh crooner Tom Jones — then you, sir, madame, or genderless gelatinous blob of mesoglea, have hit the climate change jackpot!
The Mirror reports that divers off the coast of Cornwall, U.K., have been inundated with enormous, Mediterranean barrel jellyfish. The beasties are not an uncommon visitor to the waters off of England's southern coasts, and they are harmless to humans. Nonetheless, the numbers and the sheer size of these jellies is an eye opener. And now, according to the Western Morning News, the cthuloid creatures are no longer content to simply migrate north and menace the coasts.
A monster barrel jellyfish has been spotted for the first time floating along — a British river.
The giant creature measuring around 4ft from head to tentacle was seen drifting along Cornwall's Helford River.
Several of the massive creatures have been found washed up on UK beaches in recent weeks but the latest invader was seen half a mile inland.
Barrel jellyfish are usually found in more tropical areas such as the Mediterranean sea.
Of course jellyfish are just the tip of the, erm, non-iceberg. Climate change is dramatically altering the North Sea and warming waters globally are spurring the largest movement of ocean species in 2 million years.
No. 823: Go to the river and look at enormous, invading harbingers of our doom.

Radical Humility
April 6, 2016 • By Scott Nadelson
Brian Blanchfield
ONE OF MY FAVORITE kinds of essay begins with misdirection — not only in terms of content but also in its primary method of delivery. A good example is M. F. K. Fisher's "The Broken Chain" (probably her most famous piece not related to food), which begins this way:
There has been more talk than usual lately about the abuse and angry beating of helpless people, mostly children and many women. I think about it. I have never been beaten, so empathy is my only weapon against the ugliness I know vicariously. On the radio someone talks about a chain of violence. When is it broken? he asks. How?
We read this opening paragraph and expect Fisher to tackle the issue of domestic abuse in broad, sociological terms; or maybe we think what follows will be a journalistic exploration of the subject, with statistics, anecdotes, and interviews of survivors and those who advocate for them. What we don't anticipate is an autobiographical narrative; after all, Fisher has explicitly stated that this hasn't happened to her — that she can't answer the question by examining her own experience. And yet, at the start of the following paragraph, she writes, "When I was growing up, I was occasionally spanked and always by my father." We've pivoted from the abstract and hypothetical to the personal and specific, and that's where we'll remain for the rest of the essay, by the end of which we'll realize that Fisher understands the chain of violence very well — it has been part of her family's legacy since before she was born.
So why begin with the broad cultural frame, the distancing reflection? For one, it allows Fisher to enact the denial that links the chain from one generation to the next. In describing her punishment, she says it took place "occasionally," though in the very next sentence she writes that she "often" had to go upstairs to be spanked, with a hairbrush, at first, and later with "an expert upward slap." Likewise, her father, who was beaten ritualistically as a boy, has deluded himself into thinking that because he never strikes his children in anger, he's freed himself from violence. Instead, he discovers that in suppressing his rage and denying his own capacity for harm, he's kept the chain intact.
The opening paragraph, meanwhile, has disarmed us. We may be led into difficult territory, but the writer's alleged innocence will act as a buffer: we'll be observers but not participants; we'll be able to express outrage at the conditions that allow abuse to occur, feel sympathy for the victims, concur with prescriptions for improving the situation. We won't, in other words, be complicit in the phenomenon of domestic abuse. We'll ponder the problem, but once we've finished reading, we'll be able to forget all about it. Until, that is, we're confronted in the very next paragraph with the image of young Mary Frances Kennedy baring her bottom to her father's swinging hand.
A number of the essays in Brian Blanchfield's remarkable new collection, Proxies: Essays Near Knowing, employ a similar strategy, opening with intellectual examination or rumination before turning to memory, narrative, confession. As does Fisher, Blanchfield often begins by standing us at a safe speculative distance, allowing us to consider the complexity of human endeavor without immersing us in its messy physicality, so that when he finally does plunge us into the intimate details of his own autobiography — with excruciating honesty — we are left defenseless. Armed with mind only, our hearts and guts are left vulnerable, and the narrative tears them open.
As an example, let me describe what may be the most moving piece in the book, titled "On Peripersonal Space." It starts with a straightforward definition: "Peripersonal space […] is the entire volume of space within a person's reach, or within a single conceivable momentary extension of his person. Think da Vinci, and the geometry of his jumping jack in extremis sketch." From here Blanchfield moves to the term's association with dance, then to a Science Friday segment about conceptions of self as related to objects and people in close proximity: according to the show's guests, a pair of psychologists who co-authored a study, "the self was not just the corporal body and the sensate, sentient being in its form; it was also everything within its immediate orbit."
This extended meditation on self and space forms a lens through which Blanchfield finally focuses on the essay's true subject. The co-authors on the radio happen to be mother and son, a coincidence which spurs the essayist into considering his bond with his own mother and its impact on his identity. For the rest of the essay he dissects this fraught relationship, from early intimacy to eventual estrangement, due largely to his mother's fundamentalist beliefs and his sexual orientation. Above all, the piece explores the agonizing process of separation; reading it you feel the pain of being torn away not just from someone loved but someone attached. You were once part of me, the child says; how can you now be so far away?
What I admire most about Blanchfield's analytical framing — what I'm identifying as his formal misdirection — is that he never uses it simply to be coy or to manipulate. Rather, it seems to arise out of a deep humility in the face of complex emotion, a diffidence that relies on the intellect to prepare both writer and reader for the soul- and body-baring disclosures to follow. In "On Peripersonal Space," Blanchfield directly acknowledges the challenge of transitioning from the abstract to the specific, of shedding theoretical buffers and entering the fray of experience:
Since I began this project, I have tried a number of times to write about my mother and me, and have abandoned a few attempts already. If these essays are, in part, inroads to disinhibited autobiography, as I have come to claim they are, and demand they be, I feel the imperative to address the subject above all others. But ours is a relationship so deep and damaged and (still) so tenuous it has defied emergence.
For all of its revelations about family, its depictions of gay sex, its lamentations on love and labor, Proxies strikes me finally as a book that, to its credit, remains modest despite its bold confessions. Blanchfield knows that "disinhibited autobiography" will lead to perception, discovery, emotional connection, but exhibitionism does not come naturally to him; we feel the tension between his need to expose and his essential shyness, his distrust of self-aggrandizement, his fear of self-indulgence. He begins each essay with the same qualifying subtitle, or perhaps incantation: "Permitting Shame, Error and Guilt, Myself the Single Source." The result is that each of his confessions feels like the culmination of struggle and doubt and sleepless nights, uttered only after overcoming his reluctance to speak.
The essays cover a wide range of subjects, from foot-washing to house-sitting to the use of abstraction in poetry to the disappointments of academic life, but if anything binds them it's a desire to wrestle with the irreconcilable influences and histories that form a complex identity. To reckon, for example, with what others see as the contradiction of a queer intellectual writer beginning life as the child of "a truck driver, a Harley rider, a grifter, a cad," who eventually abandoned him, Blanchfield meditates on "the leave" in pool, a game at which his father excelled. Those billiard balls that are left on the table between each shot provide him a metaphor for reclaiming his father's role in his identity formation, not only as a source of wreckage, but also as a starting point for new construction: "It can be very attractive in one's narrative to replace the given with the leave," he says, following an episode in which he uses the story of his father to seduce a man at a bar. "Because if I equate my foundational circumstances with the leavings, the discard, the refuse — even the ruins — of others, I feel more entitled to them, to build from that rubble."
Until now, Blanchfield has been known primarily as a poet, with two published collections, the most recent of which, A Several World, was longlisted for the National Book Award and won the prestigious James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets. Like other poet-essayists, such as Lia Purpura and Maggie Nelson (the latter provides an enthusiastic blurb for Proxies), he foregrounds language, reveling in the interplay of syntax and sound, allowing the intuitive and associative movement of thought to guide him from image to image in a way that makes prose writers like me envious. But he also shares much with a lineage that we might trace from the wide-ranging speculation of Michel de Montaigne to the cultural analysis of John Berger to the semiotics of Roland Barthes, whom Blanchfield explicitly acknowledges as an influence. His titles, some of them absurdly specific, make a nod toward the grand tradition of single-subject essay but also poke fun at the stuffy seriousness of the form: "On Sardines," "On Tumbleweed," "On Frottage."
While Blanchfield's poetry consistently wows me with the breadth and depth of its intelligence, as well as with the intricacy of its music and the surprise of its allusive associations, I sometimes feel I'm not quite up to the task — which I take to be its intended aesthetic, one in which words never lull us into comfort but rather prod us constantly into alertness. The essays are no less erudite, dancing from Philoctetes to Heidegger to contemporary queer theory, touching on the work of dozens of poets, offering sentences that necessitate careful parsing. But for me they invite an attentive reading more readily than the poems — perhaps because they reward us with the pleasures of narrative, but also because they welcome us so fully into the life of their speaker, allowing us to spend close time with him, his family, his partner John, his friends and former lovers. His presence is a generous one, his voice surprisingly approachable despite its sophistication, his modesty negating both pretension and undue self-regard.
This is humility as seduction: when Blanchfield prostrates himself before beginning each essay, acknowledging his inevitable courting of error and shame, you can't help but trust him and lower your guard. Then you lean forward, listen closely, and follow wherever he leads.

Bringing Taekwondo to the Heartlands
By Khim Yap Activities, Fatherhood August 13, 2015
As soon as I felt my kids were old enough to take up martial arts, I immediately started looking around for a good martial arts school that I could send my boys to. I've always held a my firm belief in wanting my kids to be active in sports and my wife and I both believed that learning martial arts would greatly benefit our kids. Not only would it be good to learn some self-defence, it would also be a great way for them to stay active and keep fit. I also like how martial arts can help instil in them discipline and respect, values that go beyond just exercise.
Master Kwon Won Kook
Owner, Instructor of Yong In Taekwondo Education Center
Why Taekwondo
I had taken up Taekwondo (TKD) while I was in secondary school and I felt it would be a good martial art to start my kids off on. There are of course lots of different types of martial arts and each has its own strengths but there were a few reasons why we chose TKD:
We like that it has good structure with its proper grading system. There's a clear belt progression system and we believe that this will help our kids stay motivated to keep learning and developing their skills. Also, we liked that grading is done under the auspices of a national level authority through the Singapore Taekwondo Federation.
While critics may say that TKD is more of a sport than a true fighting style, we actually see this as a pro rather than a con. We are not really looking to turn our kids into deadly fighting machines and we find TKD's protective gear quite reassuring in that at least we know that they would be less likely to sustain any serious injuries while learning martial arts.
Why Yong In Taekwondo Education Center
So when looking for TKD schools, I remembered Yong In Taekwondo Education Center. I had driven by the school before and when I checked it out online, I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't just 'another local TKD school'. I was impressed that it was one of the few that was actually owned and taught by a South Korean TKD master, Master Kwon Won Kook. That definitely was a strong plus point for me. I would definitely prefer my kids to have the 'authentic experience' of learning TKD from a 'authentic' TKD master. So far, our kids have trained under Master Kwon for more than half a year now and I can safely say that he is certainly the 'real deal'.
[infobox maintitle="SENSEI? SHIFU?" subtitle="The proper way to address a TKD master is not Sensei Kwon or Kwon Shifu. He should be addressed as Master Kwon or in Korean, Kwon Sabeomnim which means Master Kwon. But he is not one for titles and he's happy for his students to call him Mr Kwon." bg="teal" color="black" opacity="on" space="20″ link="no link"]
True Martial Arts Talent
Looking at Master Kwon's CV, he is not only a TKD master, he is a bona fide martial arts master. Other than the 6th Dan Black Belt in TKD that he possesses, he is also a 2nd Dan Black Belt in Judo, a 1st Dan Black Belt in Hapkido and a 4th Dan Black Belt in Yongmoodo! I didn't know anything about Yongmoodo and had never even heard of it. I asked Master Kwon about it and he explained that Yongmoodo is a hybrid martial art that combines techniques from TKD, Judo, Hapkido and even Ssireum, a form of wrestling from Korea. Yongmoodo was developed by Yong In University, the university that Master Kwon studied at. The University is very well known as a institution for martial arts and sports and it's easy to see why it is also the inspiration for the name of his TKD school.
Master Kwon started learning TKD when he was 12 years old. His parents were the ones that encouraged him to learn TKD. Many people had said that he has good motor skills and that he has the right aptitude to learn martial arts. And this sentiment was also shared by his coach at Yong In University who felt that he would also excel in other martial arts and encouraged him to go beyond TKD and to also take up Judo, Hapkido and Yongmoodo. His illustrious martial arts CV certainly affirms his talent for martial arts.
Just like in Singapore, South Korea also has mandatory national service and Master Kwon did his for 26 months. The official martial art for the South Korean military is of course TKD and pretty much every soldier has to learn TKD. Master Kwon was also a military TKD instructor for a few months when he was based at the Army Training Centre to train soldiers.
Beyond his achievements in martial arts, Master Kwon also has a Chiropractic Instructor licence and Sports Massage Instructor license. He took these up when he was studying at Yong In University. In his typically modest manner, he explains that while he has the knowledge and licence, he would not call himself a professional in these areas. But he adds that this knowledge is useful if a student suffers a minor injury in class like a sprained ankle or something like that, he can definitely help the person.
I asked Master Kwon if he always wanted to open his own TKD school and his reply was that growing up, he actually wanted to either be a policeman or to join the South Korean army. But his father was against the idea. The reason was because his father was himself in the army for 35 years, and he didn't want his son to also end up being in the army. The very filial son obeyed and respected his Dad's wishes and instead pursued his dream of opening his own TKD school.
He opened his first TKD school at age 29 in Busan, South Korea. The school was called 'Strong Yong In Taekwondo' and he was there for 7 years. A friend of his who opened up a TKD school here told him that Singapore was a great place and asked him to come. Master Kwon took up his friend's offer and came to work at his friend's TKD school for one month to see what Singapore was like. He fell in love with Singapore immediately and returned to South Korea to make preparations to not only start his Singapore TKD school but to also move his whole family here.
He was smitten with Singapore. He felt that it would be a great place to raise his family and he could also see the potential for TKD in Singapore. He liked that Singapore has a strong economy in Asia and he had his own ideas on how to make the school work. He had observed that a lot of the South Koreans who opened TKD schools in Singapore based their schools in shopping centres. Looking at the heartlands, he felt that this would be where his TKD school should be instead. And in July 2014, he would open Yong In Taekwondo Education Center located at Toa Payoh Lorong 7. Master Kwon believes that his school is the first TKD school to be based in a HDB estate.
Master Kwon expressed that since coming to Singapore, he, his wife and his 2 kids have all been very happy living, working and studying here. He loves the food in Singapore and he wants to stay here for a long time. I asked him what his favourite foods were and without hesitation he exclaimed, "Laksa and fishball noodles!"
His youngest son, who is now 4 years old, is actually his youngest student at Yong In Taekwondo Education Center. His older son is 7 and currently in Primary 1. He too started when he was 4 and he is now a green belt with blue tip. Master Kwon believes that as a parent, he will always want to give his kids the opportunity to express their views. I asked him what if one day his sons say to him that they do not want to learn TKD but would rather learn something completely different like dancing? His answer was that he would want to find out their reasons and if the reasons were good enough, he would be ok to respect their wishes.

Since my kids have been at his school, I've noticed some interesting changes in them. They are more confident, more respectful and also highly motivated to do well with their TKD. I asked Master Kwon if that's something that other parents may have spoken to him about. He shared with pride that a few parents have thanked him and told him that their kids have changed and improved their behaviour since taking up TKD with him. He felt that it could be because he is very strict with his training and teaching. And because his students see him every week, their behaviour improves from the discipline that he tries to instil in them. Having seen him in action during his class, he is indeed firm but fair. Beyond learning about TKD, he takes the time to also teach his students about respect and discipline.
He felt that a lot of kids these days lack respect and values and that's how problems like bullying in school occurs. And in that sense, learning a martial art is helpful. I asked if anyone tried to bully him or start a fight with him when he was a student, he laughed and said, "When you are in the TKD team, nobody touches you."

There was a recent posted question on the American Board of Laser Surgery's website about treating a patient who has had basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in the past with a treatment like IPL.
This is obviously a controversial topic for sure!
My protocol (remembering that I am a surgeon) is that anyone with a history of skin cancer must have a full body skin cancer screening in the last six months by their dermatologist prior to me treating them. I must have a letter from that dermatologist stating that there is no active cancer anywhere on the skin and no suspicious lesions that need to be followed. Obviously, if there was a h/o skin cancer on an area I am NOT treating with IPL or laser, I just want a full body check and then we're good. If there is a previous lesion IN the area I am treating, then after dermatology clearance, I have a strong talk with the patient discussing the fact that treatmetns that potentially depigment lesions can mask the warning signs of a potential or growing cancer. They sign separately in consent their understanding and acceptance of risk and wish to proceed with the cosmetic treatment.
This particular question was regarding a simple IPL treatment for a cosmetic concern in a patient that had had h/o BCC in another area. If cleared, you would be fine to treat the cosmetic condition. I did not want anyone reading this to think that I was indicating that the IPL was meant to actually treat the BCC. I do think that it can be preventative of precancers buy removing damaged pigment cells and pigment, but that is obviously an impossible study. Hope that helps!

Q: Creating a dynamic monthly tab where we can click on a month and details will appear below using Oracle-Apex I am new to Oracle Apex. I'm currently trying to create an Application on attendance, leaves and payroll management system. What I want to do is to create a payroll processing page where there will be month tabs(more like buttons showing month and year) where with one click we can navigate through different months and view details of that month(allowances, deductions, leaves, salary etc.) but I can't seem to find any way to do this. Thanks.The image shows how I want it to look.

A: You could use a list and use the "Tabs" list template. Create a dynamic list and make each target point to that same page with a different argument.


I believe I will be doing a modernized rustic arrangement.
Success for me is having fun while I love people through how I care for their project.
I was a retail buyer for over 10 years, then got burned out on that so I got into Real Estate. Didn't like the buying and selling part much, so I decided to work on design an interiors exclusively as that was really the part that excited me.
I'm not really sure if its impacted my work. I'm sure it has to some degree, but I primarily use instagram and only follow friends and family for the most part. I'm really bad at pinterest. It just makes me want a bunch of things I can't have.
Eeeeek. I tend to be a perfectionist, but I don't really see it as a strength. It just happens to help me in my field of work.
I sometimes use reclaimed wood on projects? And I don't have a printer… But mainly because ink is expensive.
My wife says a polar bear. Because I'm big and have blond hair, I think?
I run, ride bicycles, and eat.
I suppose it's probably my eclecticism. I really don't try to follow any design rules or care what other people think. I just like to do things I think look cool and tell a story. I like every detail to be intentional.

Stagestruck: Curtain Up!
Anya Wallach Lisa Fiedler (author)
Publisher: Sleeping Bear Press ISBN: 9781633621367
After 12-year-old Anya is cut from her middle school soccer team, she decides to pursue her true passion, which is theater. With the help of her sister and new friend Austin, Anya puts together a kids' summer theater troupe (The Random Farms Kids' Theater), recruiting area kids as actors and crew members. Acting as director, Anya has to navigate the ups and downs of a showbiz life, including preparing scripts, finding a venue, and handling ticket sales, not to mention calming the actors insecurities and settling conflicts. Its a lot of responsibility for a 12-year-old. Will their first show ever get off the ground? This series is closely based on the real-life experience of Anya Wallach, who began a summer theater camp in her parents basement when she was just sixteen years old. Today, Random Farms has launched the careers of many of today's youngest stars on Broadway.


Following a first round of voting last April 22 in which no candidate won an absolute majority, France will hold a runoff presidential election, and the top two vote-getters on the first round - Nicolas Sarkozy of the ruling right-of-center Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) and Ségolène Royal of the left-wing Socialist Party (PS) - will face each other off in a much anticipated Sarko-Ségo showdown.
In some ways, this year's contest resembles the 1981 presidential election, in which a center-right candidate (incumbent President Valéry d'Estaing) topped the poll in the first round, narrowly ahead of a strongly-placed Socialist nominee - François Mitterrand, whose 25.9% share of the vote was matched by Royal twenty-six years later. That year, the other major center-right candidate, then-mayor of Paris (and future president) Jacques Chirac, who had arrived in third place, gave Giscard only a lukewarm endorsement. This time around, centrist François Bayrou, who came in a strong third place with 18.6% of the vote, has refused to endorse either Sarkozy or Royal in the runoff, and subsequently indicated he would not vote for Sarkozy; he has also announced plans to create a new centrist political force, the Democratic Party, ahead of next June's legislative elections. Meanwhile, the candidates to the left of Royal have rallied behind her for the second round of voting - not unlike the French Communist Party (PCF) in 1981, which strongly backed Mitterrand in the runoff vote.
However, the similarities end there. In 1981, the Socialist and Communist presidential candidates polled a combined 40.2% of the vote, and the left won an overall majority of 50.7% in the first round, which along with Chirac's less-than-enthusiastic endorsement of Giscard, propelled Mitterrand to the presidency in the runoff. This year, Royal and the candidates to her left secured only 36.1% of the vote between themselves: this figure is even lower than the 40.6% share polled by the left in the 1995 presidential race, when Socialist candidate Lionel Jospin made a strong showing in the runoff, but was nonetheless defeated by Chirac, 52.6% to 47.4%.
In order to win the election, Royal would have to capture a sizable share of the centrist vote. Earlier opinion polls suggested a majority of Bayrou voters would back her in the runoff, but they now appear to be leaning slightly in favor of Sarkozy, who has remained ahead in every poll taken so far - although sometimes narrowly so, within the polls' margin of error.
At this juncture, Sarkozy's victory in the second round appears likely, even after Jean-Marie Le Pen of the far-right National Front (FN) announced he would not be endorsing either of the two candidates in the runoff election, and asked his followers to abstain from taking part in the poll.
So far, this turn of events appears to have had little impact on the race, and opinion polls have continued to indicate that supporters of Le Pen - who finished fourth in the first round with 10.4% of the vote (his worst showing in almost two decades, but still a respectable figure) - will overwhelmingly vote for Sarkozy in the runoff election. That said, if a sizable number of Le Pen's voters chose to follow his advice after all, France's presidential runoff vote could turn out to be tighter than expected.
The French Interior Ministry reports that at 5:00 PM CEST (15:00 GMT / 11:00 AM EDT), 75.1% of the electorate had voted in the second round of the 2007 presidential election, up from 73.9% at the same time of day in the first round of voting held last April 22.
Polls closed at 8:00 PM CEST (18:00 GMT / 2:00 PM EDT).
Voter turnout in French presidential runoff elections is usually higher than in the first round, and it appears this year will be no exception. The first round of voting of the 2007 presidential race had a final turnout rate of 83.8% - the highest since 1974.
Thus, Nicolas Sarkozy has been elected President of France, winning the runoff election with a substantial majority of 2,192,698 votes (6.1%).
84% of French voters took part in the event, making it the highest second round turnout in nearly two decades. The vote was also characterized by a sizable increase in the number of blank and invalid ballots, which nearly tripled with respect to the first round of voting.
The result of the election was largely in line with opinion poll forecasts, although Sarkozy's margin of victory was somewhat smaller than in some late polls, which had him ahead by as much as ten points. At least one exit poll suggests the centrist vote split evenly between Sarkozy and Royal, which may have closed the gap but was not enough to prevent Sarkozy's runoff victory.
In the end, the outcome of France's 2007 presidential runoff election is almost identical to that of the previous left-versus-right, second round showdown in 1995. Although left-wing candidates (Royal included) held a smaller overall share of the vote in this year's first round of voting than twelve years ago, Royal nearly matched Lionel Jospin's 47.4% of the vote in the 1995 runoff.
The Socialist Party is now attempting to regroup ahead of next June, when French voters return to the polls to choose members of the National Assembly - the lower house of the French legislature - in two rounds of voting: an opposition victory in that contest would force President Sarkozy to "cohabit" with a non-UMP prime minister, and largely reduce him to a figurehead. However, such an outcome would be completely unprecedented, given that in past French parliamentary elections held shortly after a presidential poll (as was the case in 1981, 1988 and 2002), voters have consistently supported the party of the president they had just chosen (the Socialists in 1981 and 1988, the UMP in 2002).


Banana is the common name for flowering plants of the genus Musa and for the fruit they produce. This fruit is an edible and delicious that is one of the widely cultivated crops in the tropical and subtropical zones. This yellow peel and long - curved fruit has nature's own energy-rich food that we can use it in various desserts, drinks and foods and the most people eaten banana around in the world.
Outer features: The banana has a protective outer layer (a peel or skin) with numerous long, thin. Its shape is elongated and curved. The banana peel color is green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe but its common color is yellow (Creamish-white).
Flavor and taste: The prominent aroma of natural ripe Banana and free from any fermented & off flavor and scorched or caramelized flavor. The ripe banana taste is sweet.
The searchers say the banana is a primordial fruit. Investigating about the genesis of banana we see that it dates back to prehistoric times. The local area of cultivation of banana is South-East Asia; the jungles of the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia are still seen crammed with the range of bananas. In 5000 B.C the substantiation of first bananas is founded in New Guinea, in 600 B.C bananas are pointed out for the first time in text of Buddhism. We auxiliary see that in 327 B.C Alexander the great stated about the existence of bananas. Beginning from 200 AD Chinese people started cultivating bananas. Islamic conquerors exported bananas to Palestine in 650 AD. Studying about the birth of banana we see that it dates back to 5000 B.C.
The bananas product and grow in wet (rainy - sunshine), tropical and sub tropics areas around in the world including India, Australia, United States and etc.
Bananas do not grow from a seed but from a bulb or rhizome. On the other hand although it looks like a tree, it is not a tree, because its trunk consists of leaf stalks growing close together and not of wood. So some searchers say the banana is fruit and vegetable (herb).The banana tree or herb usually grows to a height of 15 to 20 feet. The time between planting a banana plant and the harvest of the banana bunch is from 9 to 12 months. The flower appears in the sixth or seventh month. Bananas are available throughout the year - they do not have a growing 'season'.
The bananas grow in large; cone-shaped bunches hanging below the large leaves. There may be one hundred or more bananas in each bunch, but only one bunch on each trunk. Bananas are grown in tropical regions where the average temperature is 80° F (27° C) and the yearly rainfall is between 78 and 98 inches. They require moist soil with good drainage. In fact, most bananas exported are grown within 30 degrees either side of the equator. Banana growing is, in general, labor intensive, involving clearing of jungle growth, propping of the plants to counter bending from the weight of the growing fruit, and irrigation in some regions. As well as an intensive use of pesticides, the conventional production process involves covering banana bunches with polyethylene bags to protect them from wind, attacks of insects or birds and to maintain optimum temperatures.
The Bananas are generally mature 3 to 6 months after flowering. Mature bananas are not harvested when they are yellow; they are harvested while they are still green, but with a slight yellow tint, which is hardly noticeable. The fruit is round and plump instead of a square or sharp angular shape, and does not have any noticeable ribs. Mature bananas are also still hard. The flower bract is dry and breaks off easily from the fruit tip -- that's when you know its harvest time.
Leave the banana (a little green) in a closed paper bag at room temperature. If you want to speed up the ripening process. Add an apple or a tomato to the bag to ripen the bananas in less than 1 day.
When the bananas become ripe its color is yellow, speckled with a bit of brown put them in your refrigerator, preferably at a temperature of about 50F (10C). Also the banana should be away from direct sunlight. In this way we can store for no more than 2 weeks.

Due to its high potassium and Low Sodium, the banana can help maintain blood pressure within normal ranges and prevent hypertension. Potassium helps the body maintain a fluid balance, and ensures healthy muscle contraction and functioning of the kidneys and heart. Studies indicate that the consumption of bananas significantly helps in reducing hypertension. This is because this fruit is high in potassium and has a negligible amount of sodium. Studies also reveal that for people who consume a high amount of sodium, the potassium content in a banana would decrease the excessive amount of sodium in the body, and therefore keep problems like high blood pressure and stroke at bay. In addition, potassium plays a critical role in regulating and improving heart function and heart health.
The minerals are one of good sources in the banana so help alleviate muscle fatigue, prevent muscle cramps and improve muscle strength.

It also plays an essential role in maintaining energy levels of the body, and producing the body's genetic building blocks.
- Banana fruit is a good source of potassium; Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure; it thus offers protection against stroke and coronary heart diseases.
- Digestible Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are digested by the body and converted into glucose (sugar). No other fruit contains more digestible carbohydrates than bananas. This is advantageous, because the body burns off calories from carbohydrates more easily and quickly than calories from fat or protein.
- Furthermore, it contains a good amount of vitamin-B6 (pyridoxine), thiamin (vitamin B-1), vitamin-C, and manganese. Consumption of foods rich in vitamin-C helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen-free radicals.

How to Record Skype Calls
Skype this week announced that it has added a cloud-based recording function to its video chat service, which can now be accessed on virtually any version of Skype except for Windows 10. According to the Skype blog, it will receive a recording function "in the coming weeks".
To record a call, simply click the plus sign (+) in the lower-left corner of the Skype call and select Start Recording. All participants in the call will receive a warning that you have turned on the recording function, which will record audio, as well as any video (or shared screens) during the call. When you finish recording, either hang up the phone or go back to the same place and select the "Stop recording" option.
When the recording ends, Skype sends the recording to everyone on the call to view, download, or directly access other Skype users. It also stores the recording in the cloud for 30 days. The recording looks a little different than the call itself, as Skype takes away most of the user interface and puts the shots side by side or one at a time for a more enjoyable viewing.
To save the new recording to your desktop or laptop, click the ellipsis next to the recording and select Save As. You will also see the option to "forward" the recording, which is a built-in sharing feature in Skype.
To download it to iOS or Android, press and hold the entry and select "save". As before, in the same menu, you can also forward the recording to other Skype users.
As someone who usually uses Skype to record interviews, having a recording device built into Skype makes this service more like a complete package. You used to need a third-party Skype call recorder app and some of them could be finicky, especially when dealing with video. Whether you're just having fun, taking notes, or recording a podcast (because who wants to talk to someone without seeing them?), Skype's new recording features couldn't come quickly enough.

RE: Unable to relate relations between netsuite database tables. How to fetch records from database tables and from where, without any permission error?
I've a an existing website built and integrated with Netsuite. I am now planning to build an mobile application for the same and need to integrate same API endpoints in it using Netsuite.
As I'm new to Netsuite I'm unable to find the implemented API endpoints. Also I've the schema with me for the developed system but can't relate the relation between any of the table or its fields, it will be helpful if you can help me to find out how can I access database in Netsuite.
Also I tried out using some REST API's which works fine but when I try to fire queries using REST API's I get error as "Your current role does not have permission to perform this action.". What is needed to get access to this permission.

shubham0503 Rookie Asked on June 5, 2020 in How To's.
The closest to a schema is the connect browser. That said, the easiest way for working with Netuite via any of the api's is to know how to do the matching action in the user interface.
The role you are using determines which permissions you have access to. There is some Permissions Documentation, but I generally find its easier to work from the ui. Start from a role that has permission to do anything and copy the url of the page you want access to into the role that doesnt have access. Usually netsuite will have an error page that lists the name of the permission you need to add.
