New ECHO Act Focuses on Integrating Telehealth Solutions into Healthcare Delivery
On December 14, 2016, President Obama signed the Expanding Capacity for Health Outcomes Act (S. 2873) (the ECHO Act). The ECHO Act seeks to expand the use of health care technology and programming to connect underserved communities and populations with critical health care services.
The ECHO Act builds upon the University of New Mexico's world-renowned Project ECHO by encouraging the broader development and use of technology-enabled collaborative learning and care delivery models by connecting specialists with multiple other health care professionals through simultaneous interactive videoconferencing for the purpose of facilitating case-based learning, disseminating best practices and evaluating outcomes.
The ECHO Act requires the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to study technology-enabled collaborative learning and capacity building models, and the impact of those models on (1) certain health conditions (i.e., mental health and substance use disorders, chronic diseases, prenatal and maternal health, pediatric care, pain management, and palliative care), (2) health care workforce issues (e.g., specialty care shortages) and (3) public health programs.
Within two years of the enactment of the ECHO Act, the Secretary of HHS must submit a publically available report to Congress that:
Analyzes the impact of technology-enabled collaborative learning and capacity building models, including, but not limited to, the impact on health care provider retention, quality of care, access to care and barriers faced by healthcare providers;
Lists the technology-enabled collaborative learning and capacity building models funded by HHS over the past five years;
Describes best practices used in adopting these models;
Describes barriers to adoption of these models and recommends ways to reduce those barriers and opportunities to increase use of these models; and
Issues recommendations regarding the role of technology-enabled collaborative learning and capacity building models in continuing medical education and lifelong learning, including the role of academic medical centers, provider organizations and community providers in such education and lifelong learning.
The recommendations made in HHS's report may be used to integrate the Project ECHO model into health systems across the country.

Q: Is erubis still faster than erb? I'm choosing a templating system for a gem, so I was thinking to use Erubis which it seems to be faster than ERB, but the last released version is from 2011.
As ERB is integrated into the ruby stdlib, I guess their performance has been improved these last three years but I don't know if has been improved enought to surpass to Erubis.

Quite a large pub with a mediterranean feel the Junction Bar serves good food cooked on the premises. They have a good wine list and a choice of cocktails etc. Popular with students and regulars the Junction has a bright and warm feel.
I sat on the bar and took a crap. Yep I did ha eh..
the Junction bar used to serve the best food in the Southside. Stunning home made burgers, fantastic steaks, and a particularly ming blowing chilli. It now seems to be a hovel were old men gather and wait to die, and the place smells appalling. Wouldn't let my dog eat there now!
When the old Manager Keith Mooney was in charge the place was really good with great food , service and beer. It's not the same without him.

While chauffeuring my wife around Sunday morning to her various visits to sick people, I listened to David Remnick's "New Yorker Radio Hour," which this time consisted of a long biographical piece on one of my favorite authors, Philip Roth.

Saint Olaf Catholic School, under the direction of Father Robert Pollock, became a reality when construction began in the spring of 1959. The Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent DePaul were obtained to teach in the parochial school, still to be erected.
Three Sisters arrived in Bountiful in the fall of 1960. The school opened with five grades and a kindergarten, staffed by two teaching Sisters and three lay teachers. During the following three years, grades six, seven and eight were added.
At present, Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges, Western Catholic Educational Association and the State of Utah accredit the school. In 1995, after a 3-year discernment process, the Daughters of Charity withdrew from Saint Olaf Catholic School, seeking to be more faithful to their call to serve the materially poor.
Saint Olaf Parish supports our school, and in a real sense is responsible for the continuance of its excellent education program. Without the support of the people of Saint Olaf Parish and the dedication and the sacrifice of the teachers and staff, our programs would not exist.

Q: Is the Hubot web socket connection to Slack secure? I am setting up hubot with a slack adapter for an enterprise and would like to know if the socket connection between Hubot and Slack is secure.
If not, how can it be secured?

A: Its hard to say in general whether a product would be regards as "secure" for your enterprise. It all depends on the security requirements specific to your business. e.g. a defense contractor might have much higher security requirements than a retailer.
To answer your question I would therefore suggest to research the security specifics of this product and then compare them with the security requirements of your enterprise.
Here is an overview about the security architecture to get you started:

*

*Hubot uses Slack's RTM API which uses WebSockets as main
communication protocol

*To start a connection you need to call either the rtm.start or
rtm.connect endpoint, which is secured by HTTPS. Both endpoints require you to
provide authentication via a Oauth 2.0 token.

*Those endpoint return a custom URL for your WebSocket session

*All WebSocket communication uses the secure WSS protocol, which applies TLS to secure the connection

A: I have raised a ticket with Slack support team and they confirmed that connection is WSS and uses TLS 1.2 which makes it secure for enterprise. Thanks!

Trou aux Cerfs is a dormant volcano, located more or less in the center of the island country of Mauritius in Curepipe. The dormant volcano features a well-defined cone and a giant crater clogged by water, rocks, and silt. Trou aux Cerfs volcano is one of the many cones responsible for the birth and evolution of the island of Mauritius. The crater it holds is a result of the several Trou aux Cerfs eruptions during the second phase of volcanic activity that led to the creation of the island in the Indian Ocean.
Although the Trou aux Cerfs in Curepipe has been dormant for years and years, it can still be active and erupt into flames, lave, and ash within the next thousand years. The greenery around the crater is a favorite jogging destination for the locals. The nearest attraction here is the Casino de Maurice, which is the oldest casino parlor of Mauritius, set up in the year 1970. With multiple jackpot slots, roulette tables, blackjack, and poker slots, this is a great location for some night time fun, after taking in the raw natural beauty of Trou aux. A little further away, at an hour's drive distance is Ile aux Cerfs, which the white sand beach, turquoise blue water, and coral-reefed lagoons will set you up for a perfect day at the sea. Try any water sport like parasailing, speed boating, and water skiing. Also try your hand at zip lining and Accrobranche at the Adventure Park here.

Little Lord Fauntleroy by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849 - 1924)
Little Lord Fauntleroy is a sentimental children's novel by American (English-born) author Frances Hodgson Burnett, serialized in St. Nicholas Magazine in 1885. It was a runaway hit for the magazine and was separately published in 1886. The book was a commercial success for its author, and its illustrations by Reginal Birch set fashion trends. Little Lord Fauntleroy also set a precedent in copyright law in 1888 when its author won a lawsuit over the rights to theatrical adaptations of the work. (Summary from Wikipedia)
Lost Prince, The by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849 - 1924)
"The Lost Prince" is about Marco Loristan, his father, and his friend, a street urchin named The Rat. Marco's father, Stefan, is a Samavian patriot working to overthrow the cruel dictatorship in the kingdom of Samavia. Marco and his father, Stefan, come to London where Marco strikes up a friendship with a crippled street urchin known as The Rat. Marco's father, realizing that two boys are less likely to be noticed, entrusts them with a secret mission to travel across Europe giving the secret sign: 'The Lamp is lighted.' This brings about a revolution which succeeds in overthrowing the old regime and re-establishing the rightful king. The book ends in a climatic scene as Marco realizes his father is the descendant of Ivor Fedorovitch and thus the rightful king of Samavia. (Summary from Wikipedia)

In mid-1880s Brooklyn, New York, Cedric Errol lives with his Mother (never named, known only as Mrs Errol or "dearest") in genteel poverty after his Father Captain Errol dies. They receive a visit from Havisham, an English lawyer with a message from Cedric's grandfather, Lord Dorincourt. Cedric is now Lord Fauntleroy and heir to the Earldom and a vast estate. The Earl wants Cedric to live with him and learn to be an English aristocrat. He offers Mrs Errol a house and income but refuses to meet or have anything to do with her. The crusty Earl is impressed by the appearance and intelligence of his young American grandson, and charmed by his innocent nature. He admits that Cedric, who has befriended and cared for the poor and needy on the Earl's estate, will be a better Earl than he was. A pretender to Cedric's inheritance appears, but the claim is investigated and disproved with the assistance of Cedric's loyal American friends. The Earl is reconciled to his son's American widow. The Earl had intended to teach his grandson how to be an aristocrat; however, Cedric inadvertently teaches his grand-father that an aristocrat should practice compassion and social justice towards persons who are dependent on him. The Earl becomes the kind and good man Cedric always innocently believed him to be. Cedric is reunited with his mother, who comes to live in the ancestral castle with them. "Little Lord Fauntleroy" is the first children's novel written by English–American playwright and author Frances Hodgson Burnett.

One hundred simple fish sauces. Sixty-five ways to cook mackerel. The Catching of Unshelled Fish. Twenty-seven ways to Cook Frogslegs. Now that should certainly make you reach for your apron and fish knife! How to Cook Fish by Olive Green is a vintage culinary classic, filled with simple, easy to follow recipes rendered in a terse, no nonsense style. There's none of this fiddling with scales, weights and measures. What you get is a mélange of interesting, unusual ways to cook seafood without worrying about lists of ingredients, timings, temperature or any of the conventions followed by traditional cookbooks. If you've read that old Victorian favorite, Lavender and Old Lace (which was later adapted very successfully as Arsenic and Old Lace) by Myrtle Reed, you'd certainly be interested to know that the author had an equally successful career as a writer of popular cook books. Writing under the pseudonym Olive Green, Reed published six very successful books on cooking. However, from 1898 to her suicide in 1911, she continuously published at least one novel every year. The books are romantic and highly emotional in nature, full of unrequited passion, revenge, mystery and supernatural happenings. She also wrote a collection of stories about important women who made a difference to society. In between, she wrote pamphlets, married her Canadian pen-pal, suffered severe and debilitating bouts of insomnia and engaged in charity work. Her cookbooks are characterized by interesting tips on home making and the art of cooking, peppered with literary nuggets and quotations, witty remarks and anecdotes, all of which make How to Cook Fish not just an excellent recipe book but also an interesting and entertaining read. She also provides lists of what fish are in season during particular times of year, thus ensuring that the cook uses only the freshest of ingredients. How to Cook Fish is divided into 45 chapters. The One Hundred Fish Sauces are arranged in alphabetical order, starting with "Admiral Sauce" and ending with "White Sauce." In between you have recipes for "Brown Tomato Sauce" "Sicilian Sauce" and other such unusual concoctions. Under the chapter One Hundred Miscellaneous Recipes you have items such as Fish a la Brunswick, Chartreuse of Fish, Jellied Fish Salad and many other great variations. This is indeed a great addition to your kitchen library and the clear, simple way in which the recipes are presented would tempt even the least adventurous of cooks to try a hand at one of these delicious sounding creations.
Secret Garden, The by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849 - 1924)
Mary Lennox is a spoiled, middle-class, self-centered child who has been recently orphaned. She is accepted into the quiet and remote country house of an uncle, who has almost completely withdrawn into himself after the death of his wife. Mary gradually becomes drawn into the hidden side of the house: why does she hear the crying of a unseen child? Why is there an overgrown, walled garden, its door long locked? (Summary by Peter)
Shuttle, The by Frances Hodgson Burnett (1849 - 1924)
Rosalie Vanderpoel, the daughter of an American multimillionaire marries an impoverished English baronet and goes to live in England. She all but loses contact with her family in America. Years later her younger sister Bettina, beautiful, intelligent and extremely rich, goes to England to find what has happened to her sister. She finds Rosalie shabby and dispirited, cowed by her husband's ill treatment. Bettina sets about to rectify matters. She meets Lord Mount Dunstan, an impoverished earl, who lives nearby and they fall in love, but he cannot speak because it would look as if he were after her money... This is a romance but it is also about the rejuvenating effects of Americans and American money on a somewhat decadent English aristocracy. (Summary by Tabithat)

"The Fight Is a Long-Lasting Battle": Occupy DC Isn't Going Home Anytime Soon
A conversation about how yoga, group painting sessions, and other strategies keep the movement alive.
Will Peischel
Former FellowBio
Protesters gather at Lafayette Square Park outside the White House on May 31, 2020 in Washington, DC.Tasos Katopodis/Getty
There is no more tear gas in front of the White House, where for weeks activists had gathered to protest against racial injustice and police brutality after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police on May 25. Though Washington, DC, demonstrations have slowed down since early June—when police violently cleared protesters from Lafayette Square for Trump's infamous Bible photo shoot—groups like Occupy DC still maintain a presence there. But the atmosphere has changed. Now, activist-led yoga classes and group painting sessions draw sympathetic crowds. And the raw frustration that surged across the city in the weeks following George Floyd's death has been redirected into specific policy demands—like cutting the police budget and firing its chief, Peter Newsham.
At first, the protests were spontaneous without any formal organization. But they wore on over weeks and months, and after most protesters packed up and returned to what passed for normal routines during the pandemic, a small number of local activist groups emerged to continue the effort to bring accountability to the city's law enforcement.
Mahadi Lawal, a 26 year-old organizer with Occupy DC, once worked in the restaurant industry as a server, but when his employer shifted to takeout only during the pandemic, he was laid off. Now he has no plans to return, having become one of the leaders of Occupy DC, a racial justice movement focusing on the nation's capital. I caught up with Lawal by phone to hear how activism has evolved since protests began in late May.
The last three months have brought into sharp relief many issues that have been problems for a long time. Aside from the police killings in other parts of the country, was there a moment here in DC when you realized you had to devote yourself to this movement?
The realization of what I should be doing was kind of gradual. Obviously, the first moment was on May 25, watching the eight-minute-and-46-second video of George Floyd being murdered. That motivated me to get up and start going out to protest to make sure my voice was heard. I was very consistent; I kept going. The second thing that happened—a big turning point for me—was on June 2 when I was protesting in front of the White House. I was moving back, as per police instructions, when I was struck on the cheek by a flashbang that the police shot. Basically, it exploded on the right side of my face. I was extremely traumatized. I was deaf for about five minutes. I couldn't see or hear anything. I was just rolling on the ground screaming.
After that, I decided that I was going to be there every day.
Then on June 24, around 2 a.m., I was out there protesting on Black Lives Matter Plaza, standing right on the words. An old man was being arrested, detained by the police. I went up to record the arrest. I was following him and police pushed me back, and I kept following. They decided that my actions were assaulting a police officer and they slapped me on the ground and detained me, arrested me, and kept me overnight.
We can be organized. We can mobilize. We can actually demand change and do something together—as opposed to just misguidedly protesting every day.
I managed to get in touch with one of my friends from inside and my friends mobilized. I had so much support while I was in jail, and I came out to maybe 50 or so people waiting there for me. Just seeing that showed me that, we can be organized. We can mobilize. And we can actually demand change and do something together—as opposed to just misguidedly protesting every day. That really made me want to get organized.
The actions of the police, in a weird way, illustrated that the very dynamic protesters were demonstrating against was what they faced. It's like the police have mismanaged this so they became the explanation for why everyone came out in the first place.
It would be really simple to just placate the protesters like us and be like, "Okay guys, we're just going to chill out. We're not bothering you." And people will stop protesting. They tried doing it in a lot of cities, with the cops marching with people or kneeling, but that hasn't happened here. What has happened is the mayor going to brunch with the chief of police.
This has been the first time that there's been a massive call to defund and abolish the police. The previous protests have really centered around getting justice, like arresting the cops and charging them. Now, lot of people want cops arrested—like the cops that murdered Breonna Taylor—but at the same time, there are a lot of people that understand that if we want to abolish the police, that means that they have to be abolished for everyone. We have to come up with other ways to deal with it and address these things in our community.
Why do you think this movement hasn't faded out?
People are living in very uncertain times, not knowing whether they're going to have another paycheck. Lack of trust in the government, I think, is at an all time high. This was just something that happened at the right moment, where there's a combination of millions of people—angry, disenfranchised, dissatisfied—and they had a lot of free time because they don't have jobs. So people were willing and ready to fight and support each other. The whole quarantine created a pretty huge community network and really brought things like mutual aid and dual power to the forefront where we have communities just supporting themselves and people supporting themselves—and the government not doing anything.
It's going to be a sustained movement. It's going to keep going because people realized that the fight is a long-lasting battle. We can't give up until we get the change that's necessary.
How have things changed since everyone was first out there at the end of the May? Could you take me through how this group DC protest groups have evolved?
There were obviously already social justice organizations before this. Everything didn't just pop up over the past few weeks. Those organizations were active but not as much as they needed to be. Specifically at the end of May, we had a lot of individuals taking the mantle and deciding, "Okay, I'm just going to go on Instagram, and I'm going to start my own protest. I'm going to arrange a demonstration." That's how I got familiar with a lot of the first demonstrations. I had a friend on Instagram who decided that he's just gonna post a place and a time and tell people to show up and march.
Some organizations started coming together. Some were people in the same industry or who had the same hobby. There were protest groups of cyclists. There's also Bartenders Against Racism, which popped up very recently. And others were groups of people who had met each other at the protests and had each other's back consistently. The group came together out of proximity.
Between the 15th and the end of June, the whole White House area became sort of an open-air flea market. That's part of the reason why we came together with Occupy DC. We staged our sit-in on the 3rd because there was no direction as far as protests. People were no longer coming there every day to occupy the space and demand change.
The energy had shifted. It's good that people aren't being violent and being attacked anymore, but it's bad that people aren't here. So we decided to start doing these protest-centered events, right there on the Plaza to bring people back and make sure that everything is still fresh in their minds.
The energy had shifted. It's good that people aren't being violent and being attacked anymore, but it's bad that people aren't here.
Yoga is a big thing I've seen down by the White House. It seems like folks are getting creative. But in addition to programmatic changes, how have the objectives changed? Are they becoming more specific?
Absolutely. At the start, we were all protesting about George Floyd's murder and Breonna Taylor's murder and Elijah McClain's and so many others. And that was good. And our anger was directed toward the right place. But after all the anger subsided and the protests stopped—not that I want them to stop—we have to actually move towards changing the system. The most possible thing, or the most likely thing for us to change, is our position in our own communities. So we've narrowed our focus toward these needs and towards the DC council and the DC police department. Because, like I said, we've suffered abuse at their hands as well. We can't direct our anger to police departments all across the country. Yes, abolish police all together, but it has to start within our own communities. Just like we've seen in Minneapolis, that's possible. I think small victories, like that, are all we need to rack up, and we will get there.
In the short term, specifically for DC, what does success look like to you? A year from now, on the horizon.
A year from now ensuring that the MPD budget is at least $30 million less than it was this year, and then ensuring that the MPD budget will be reduced every single year. I think we managed to get it cut down by $15 million. But that $15 million was basically already kind of like a bonus thing. I'm hoping by this time next year, we've exerted enough pressure on the council and the mayor to reduce the budget. Another sign of victory would be the immediate resignation or firing of Chief Peter Newsham.
Over the last few weeks have there been any victories that you and the folks around you have chalked up already? What is the high point so far?
The high point was definitely getting the mayor to sign the emergency police reform bill, which says that police have to release body-worn camera footage and the names of officers involved in death or serious use of force within five days. That was really big for us but, again, a small victory. We still have to keep fighting for these things.
I've Lived in DC for 3 Decades and Covered Dozens of Protests. This One Is Profoundly Different.

Filip Hrgovic is the TSS 2018 Prospect of the Year
Matt McGrain
So awash is boxing with prospects currently that picking just one has proved so excruciating that I floated a different idea with The Sweet Science's fearless editor.
"What about selecting a prospect from each division?"
"Egad," he literally replied. "I wouldn't go that far…would be a good story though. But for now we need to recognize just one fighter for historical continuity."
He's right of course; the Prospect of the Year for The Sweet Science goes back a bit and it's an honor to pitch in. As for that divisional breakdown? I'll have 17 nominees for you in January. Watch this space.
As for today, I offer you the 6'6 Croatian, "el Animal", 7-0, 233lbs, 26-year-old, Filip Hrgovic.
This is something of a controversial pick, I think. I don't lean towards potentiality in heavyweights as a rule. They're slower, generally less organized, less compact and a questionable chin is a fiercer impediment to a heavyweight of class than the equivalent in any other division. In short, the heavyweight division is a place of hammers and anvils, and if you are shy the latter, journeymen will find you out.
I'm wary, too, of relying upon a fighter's amateur achievements to protect them from professional doubts. Too many times Audley Harrison; too many times David Price. Hrgovic drew the eye in 2010 though, beating up Tony Yoka and Joseph Parker on his way to winning the World Youth Championships. Times have changed too in that the World Series of Boxing offers an amateur/professional crossover, a nursery for the paid ranks and one in which Hrgovic excelled.
That is the past, however. What of the future?
Trainer Pedro Diaz is clear: "Filip is ready for a title fight," he offered in the build up to his last fight with Kevin "Kingpin" Johnson, "right now. You can all see it."
Diaz, a late 2018 addition to the Hrgovic camp, is an inspired choice. An eastern European and a tall one, Hrgovic is already being tarred with the "robotic" brush unearned by Vitali Klitschko and questionable even in relation to Wladimir Klitschko, but his fluidity is limited to the jab right-hand. Diaz, a veteran of the Cuban amateur system who has worked with the likes of Miguel Cotto, Guillermo Rigondeaux and the legendary Felix Savon, is the right man to de-program any mechanical tendencies in a charge young and hungry enough to learn. Hrgovic will never be Eusebio Pedroza but already he punches to the body more smoothly than was the case a year ago.
Promoter Nisse Sauerland, too, thinks that Filip is in for "a big 2019." Croatia Week after discussions with the heavyweight prospect claim that a title fight is possible as early as next year.
That seems ridiculous for two reasons, which I'll get to momentarily, but first, what does the man himself say about it?
"I go really, really fast," he told press in his vastly improved English this December. "They put me in the fast track." A smile, then: "I enjoy it."
"In 2019," he adds, "I am coming for all the belts."
In 2018, Hrgovic ran 5-0 and there was a discernible step up in his two most recent contests. First he met Amir Mansour, the New Jersey fringe contender who had lost just twice, once on a freak cut (Mansour bit his tongue while beating up Dominic Breazeale and could not continue due to breathing difficulties) and once in being out-pointed by the skilled Steve Cunningham over ten rounds. Hrgovic stopped him in less than nine minutes. As I wrote at the time covering that fight "Hrgovic looked nothing less than a natural fighter and a special one. He cracked an elite jaw and solved a singular puzzle with no more effort than if he had been sparring a straight-backed amateur."
Next up was Johnson, and again Hrgovic impressed but this time he did not dazzle. Variety is not a strong point and Diaz will know now that his man needs work on his left hook and serious work on his feinting, which is almost non-existent.
Hrgovic likes one plane of attack, one-two, at distance. This combination is highly evolved, however. He goes up and down, he has a short cross, a wild looking overhand right in the style of Deontay Wilder and a straight right-hand down the pipe behind that busy jab. People have derided this final punch as "slow". This is not entirely accurate and while his hand speed is not dizzying, his mechanics are excellent and therefore the right hand is heading in as near behind the jab as is technically possible. This is important because it barracks his greatest asset: his accuracy.
Hrgovic is already wasting very little. Johnson is no longer the fighter that extended Vitali Klitschko the full distance back in 2009 but equally, Hrgovic was clearly landing at a higher rate than the deadly Vitali. Hrgovic hardly missed Johnson with a serious punch. The fighters who were his equal in this attribute after seven professional fights who are currently active are also both on the pound-for-pound list.
Stylistically, he's going to struggle with someone really good at closing the distance to mid-range, say a Luis Ortiz type, and he is fortunate that modern interpretation of the rules has all but eliminated the great in-fighter, but anyone who remains at his preferred range, outside, is going to be in for a tough night. The very best would be able to outbox him though, and the very best are in possession of the titles and the top contender spots.
This is the big problem with Hrgovic's "I'm coming for all the belts" statement. His ambition is to be admired and by December 2019 he could be 10-0 and ranked among the ten best heavyweights on the planet; indeed, he has already started to pop up on some of the less reputable ABC rankings. But however many times he fights next year the heavyweight timeline for 2019 basically looks like Wilder-Fury II and Joshua against the winner of Whyte-Chisora in the first part of the year, with the winners from those fights squaring off in London around November.
Whatever kind of 2019 Hrgovic has, he's beginning it behind both Oleksandr Usyk and Jarrell Miller and, when the dust settles, is likely to remain so given the way Eddie Hearn continues to corner the market.
So a title shot in 2019 is not just premature physically – Hrgovic needs to work on the left hand, defense and feinting as well as stamina, never having gone past the eighth – but politically. March 2020 is the earliest he could hope to visit a title ring and even then probably only if Wilder emerges on top of the pile.
What Hrgovic should be gunning for by the end of 2019 is the loser of Chisora-Whyte, perhaps on a London undercard. If he prefers the United States, his eventual target should be Jarrell Miller and that would be obtainable come the end of next year.
The main reason I make Hrgovic the one to watch however, is that in 2019 we are going to find out about him. It might not be "his year", it really might not be, but, it will be the year we find out if he can take a punch.
If he has the heart to carry him to the top.
If he's real.
And that's a prospect I'm rather looking forward to.

Try to establish asset protection structures in an ordered rather than unplanned manner. It is advisable to consider structures which will stand the test of time. In this respect, it is not worth adopting solutions for 1-2 years, even if these may appear to be considerably cheaper.
When establishing an asset protection structure, risk should be minimised. For example, it is not advisable to place assets which may be at risk in a company which already holds the shares of a project company which owns real estate. In the event of a court case arising form a commercial dispute, even the property could be lost. It is worth establishing separate companies for transactions or business ventures which may be considered risky. Only risk-free structures should be used for asset protection purposes.
A structure which allows the most types of assets to be placed should be established. The structure should also be easy to manage and provide the most convenient solution.
The vehicle established is worthless, if we do not have the right people around us who can step in if necessary and initiate the right proceedings. For example, there is no point establishing the most perfect Trust or Foundation, only to then keep all the related documents in a safe which nobody knows about. It is important, therefore, to have people around you who know your business and personal affairs, and who, under certain circumstances, are able to intervene, producing documents and informing banks, asset managers, lawyers etc. Without such people, even the most perfect structures for asset protection are unable to function.

BACKGROUND: In the Netherlands, from 2007 to 2009, 3,522 Q-fever cases were notified from three outbreaks. These are the largest documented outbreaks in the world. Previous studies suggest that symptoms can persist for a long period of time, resulting in a reduced quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to qualify and quantify the health status of Q-fever patients after long-term follow-up. METHODS: 870 Q-fever patients of the 2007 and 2008 outbreaks were mailed a questionnaire 12 to 26 months after the onset of illness. We assessed demographic data and measured health status with the Nijmegen Clinical Screening Instrument (NCSI). The NCSI consists of three main domains of functional impairment, symptoms and QoL that are divided into eight sub-domains. The NCSI scores of Q-fever patients older than 50 years (N=277) were compared with patients younger than 50 years (N=238) and with norm data from healthy individuals (N=65) and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (N=128). RESULTS: The response rate was 65.7%. After applying exclusion criteria 515 Q-fever patients were included in this study. The long-term health status of two thirds of Q-fever patients (both younger and older than 50 years) was severely affected for at least one sub-domain. Patients scores were most severely affected on the sub-domains general QoL (44.9%) and fatigue (43.5%). Hospitalisation in the acute phase was significantly related to long-term behavioural impairment (OR 2.8, CI 1.5-5.1), poor health related QoL (OR 2.3,CI 1.5-4.0) and subjective symptoms (OR 1.9, CI 1.1-3.6). Lung or heart disease, depression and arthritis significantly affected the long-term health status of Q-fever patients. CONCLUSIONS: Q-fever patients presented 12 to 26 months after the onset of illness severe -clinically relevant- subjective symptoms, functional impairment and impaired QoL. All measured sub-domains of the health status were impaired. Hospitalisation and co-morbidity were predictors for worse scores. Our data emphasise that more attention is needed not only to prevent exposure to Q-fever but also for the prevention and treatment of the long-term consequences of this zoonosis.

Happy to find and revive this thread.Thanks a lot.
Where to get the adjuster washers/shims? I saw a smaller custom kit on the mercedes website for around $49.
Not sure if that works. Other known sources?

Sorry can't help with that part yet, although i saw someone mentioning using cut pieces of tape measure as shims?
Mercedessource makes a shim kit that's not a bad deal, I have one and I'm sure I'll never use all of its pieces so would happily loan it out to anyone for free (with a deposit of course) who needs them for injector work, provided it were returned speedily.
Otherwise, any diesel fuel injection shop will have a mountain of these and should have no problem getting injectors set up properly for you, if you go that route. Local guys here do it for a few bucks an injector -- undoubtedly a good deal once you factor in the time, learning curve, and equipment to really do it properly yourself, unless you have no one near you who is capable... Even then, sending them out in the mail still seems like a better option to me. I've redone a few sets myself, not planning to do any more.
Im at 242k and rebuilding injectors and replacing the nozzles with updated ones has been something I've been thinking about doing for a couple of months now. I just don't have the knowlege or tools to pop test and rebuild mine.
Not to mention cleanroom conditions.
Next time I need to service the injectors, I would probably find out from v8volvo who these "Local guys here do it for a few bucks an injector" are!
Good link. Thanks, I feel a little bit better now about doing this myself.
Alright. Just keep your hands away from the nozzle spray, and do not use non-hi pressure fittings on your pop tester (if you end up building one yourself).
oh yes that one i know.

← IS HORSE RACING LOSING THE RACE TO MAKE CONTENT KING?
RACING IN AUSTRALIA AND THE LONG MARCH →
THE "WHIPPING INTO NON ACTION" ISSUE
Posted on March 31, 2016	by RacingB*tch
By Keyser Soze
BREEDERS LEVY: THE GREAT ESCAPE
Australia's premier annual yearling sale – the William Inglis Easter sale- kicks off in Sydney next Tuesday. The three day sale showcases le crème de la crème of Australia's thoroughbred yearlings and, each year, record prices are paid by buyers from every part of the globe as the dreamers are caught up in the intoxicating atmosphere of pursuing the next potential champion. It's a spending orgy par excellence, where normally, intelligent and highly successful businessmen and women, make bizarre, illogical and irrational decisions, collectively, or individually to voluntarily donate sizeable sums of their wealth into the bank accounts of the wealthiest sector of the racing industry – the Breeders. And there's another story for this and hidden from view, which we'll tackle another day. Nothing is ever what it seems, and dig deeper and there's method and a raison d'être to the perceived madness. It's not unlike all the money pouring into Hong Kong to purchase losing propositions in the F&B industry.
For the breeders, meanwhile, it's their guaranteed annual lottery win – the culmination of a near three month sales circuit, where corks of the best of the best in French Champagne are popped, and where every imaginable KPI in the breeding of racehorses is exceeded. If only such success could be replicated and guaranteed for the Australian economy, it would make Federal budget time an anachronism.
For Australian racing, it is also the time to resurrect the elephant in the room – the Breeders Levy, which a few years ago was the subject of serious discussion among the movers and shakers in NSW – the home of Australia's breeding industry. It was, to use a typically meaningless and worthless line in racing, to be given "serious consideration" by the powers that be to ensure that Breeders made a financial contribution to racing commensurate with the lucrative and massive returns from their annual "lottery" wins from the yearling sales circuit. Like most "politician's promises", a breeders levy is yet to see the light of day. Politicians political promises, after all are meant to be broken aren't they?
The Breeders, like the corporate bookmakers and wagering operators, derive their income from the racing industry. Unlike the corporate bookmakers and wagering operators who pay product fees back to the racing industry in each State – a de facto licence fee for using the racing industry product to derive incomes- the Breeders don't, and have not paid the racing industry any form of financial compensation for the massive incomes they have derived from- and keep deriving- from Australian racing. It's akin to operating in a tax haven or tax shelter, except, in this instance, there is no tax. It's also akin to the real life scenario where corporate Australia, and in particular, some of the glaring examples of multinationals with external home bases, pay little or no tax whatsoever and enjoy a "free" ride on the Australian taxpayers. Sound familiar?
If the noises coming from the breeders at the time are not to have that all too familiar hollow ring about them, then it's time they demonstrated their commitment to the Australian racing industry, put their hands in their own pockets and made a constructive attempt to sit at the table with the Governing Bodies and negotiate a fair, reasonable and equitable levy back to the Australian racing industry.
The breeding industry is one of Australian racing's success stories, unlike just about every other area of its operations and revenue streams which are under severe pressure. Funding and revenue streams are, and will continue to be one of, if not the biggest challenges facing the Australian racing. The funding model under which Australian racing operates is unsustainable in its present form. A Breeders levy won't be a magic bullet, but it will address a major inequality in the funding model.
There are two critical areas of racing which are grossly under-funded, and where funds raised through a Breeders Levy could be channelled into – veterinary research and education into better understanding the complex anatomical and physiological construction of a horse, and into the sinister world of illicit performance enhancing drugs, and the emerging development of undetectable "designer" drugs, whilst at the very top of the priority funding tree are severely hindered by "real" funding constraints. There is no "money tree" in racing anymore. The equine health and welfare of racehorses and the integrity of racing cannot be compromised and can only be enhanced by R&D.
Likewise, with education and training. The racing industry can no longer confine its responsibilities in these areas to the training of apprentices to get their ticket to ride in races. Racing will continue to be challenged vigorously on issues relating to equine welfare and the use of whips. Inevitably, continuing restrictions on the use of whips will demand that the apprentice training module must be overhauled and changed to re-adjust to a changing, if not ultimately, a new riding model.
Likewise, the entire licensing model for trainers and stable employees must be turned on its head to accommodate the rapidly changing face of racing. Trainer and stable staff education are the two glaringly neglected areas of education and training. The racing industry has a responsibility to take a proactive leadership role in these vital areas. Again, funding, or the lack of it, is a roadblock which must be addressed.
In the aftermath of what will undoubtedly be another record breaking sales circuit for the breeding industry by the end of next week, it is the appropriate time to dust off the Breeders Levy and put it back on the table.
GIVE THE CHAMPIONSHIPS BACK THEIR EASTER DATE
It must be soul destroying for the ATC and Racing NSW to be confronted with the appallingly low attendance figures for the Easter weekend BMW Stakes feature race day at Rosehill last Saturday.
Whilst it should be acknowledged that the race program was nowhere near as strong as Golden Slipper day the previous Saturday, NSW and Sydney racing deserves much better than an attendance of just over 8000 for a feature Autumn carnival race day, and one that offered fields of the highest quality in Australian racing.
The Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival and Easter were once inseparable and worked extremely well – just like Melbourne Cup Week and Oakbank at Easter in South Australia. Doncaster Day always had a date with Easter Saturday. Doncaster day was and still is one of the best days of racing in Australia. Deservedly, it played to houses in excess of 40,000, and, yes, it did attract a surge of interstate and international visitors each year with the added lure of the Inglis Easter Yearling Sales thrown in during the Easter week.
So where have all the punters gone? There is compelling anecdotal evidence to suggest that moving the Championships away from Easter has impacted on the traditional "let's spend Easter in Sydney", as well as the motivation for Sydneysiders to go racing over Easter and not take the first and last exits out of Sydney during this time.
There can be no doubting the quality of the card this Saturday for the first day of the Championships. With one or two exceptions, it has attracted the cream of Australia's racehorses. And despite the absence of the much sought after international competition, it's a race day which, if rightly positioned and properly and professionally marketed and promoted, could return the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival and its present day incarnation – the Championships- as a Carnival of the highest quality in Australia and give Sydney and NSW racing a base to work forward from.
Of course, what was once the sleeping giant and which has awoken with a roar is Integrity and its inseparable by-product – racing fatigue.
Australian racing's brand and image has been trashed almost beyond salvation by the an outbreak of racing's own Ebola virus. A spate of sinister performance enhancing drug positives detected on a scale previously unknown, and, particularly in the two leading states – NSW and Victoria- has shaken the foundations of racing. Like many of the other sports suffering similar problems, the drug positives in racing have snared some of the most prominent names in Australian racing and hijacked the news headlines in all forms of media on an almost daily basis.
If these scandals aren't enough, then the recent cases in Sydney and Melbourne where monies were withheld from the owners as secret commissions from the sale of racehorses to Hong Kong, has inflicted further damage on racing's image and brand. Racegoers and the community at large are no longer shocked or surprised at the scale of widespread corruption across a raft of areas in racing. Sadly, it's now taken as a given with a dangerous Great Divide between the Haves and the Have Nots, the Untouchables and, well, the Touched.
Sadly, all this has become part of racing's DNA. The racing and non-racing community are fatigued with racing. They are also fed up with the abject failure of administrators to clean up the industry- and this includes the one-way street corporates are allowed to slither along while making their own rules as they go. How on earth many corporates have been allowed to be a law unto themselves shows an industry with scant regard for the protection and interests of the little people- those people who keep that interest in racing alive.
The enthusiastic willingness of the racing media, particularly in Melbourne, to sensationalize racing's negatives, promote the self-styled martyrs, and be completely blind-sided by the Shylocks of racing, helps ensure racing continues to be marginalized.
That aside, there is so much more that could and must be done to market the Championships. For a start, providing the Carnival with certainty for dates each year would be a very good start.
WHIPS RULES TURNING FARCICAL. BUT WHAT'S THE ANSWER?
If ever the farcical new whip rules were exposed for what they are, then the stewards' reports and fines issued to some of Sydney's and Australia's best jockeys for breaches of the barely comprehensible new whips rules last Saturday, provide compelling evidence of the farce that has been dumped on Australian racing by Racing Australia.
Hugh Bowman, Kathy O'Hara, Blake Shinn and Tommy Berry, all fell foul of exceeding the number of times with which they could use the whip on their rides over the final stages of the races they rode in last Saturday at Rosehill.
The four jockeys are experienced, highly successful senior riders- and taught to ride "the Australian way", where words like "punishing ride" come into play along with visions of Mick Dittman aka "The Enforcer".
Bowman and Berry are multiple offenders. Bowman has expressed the complete frustration of his fellow riders to NSW Stewards, who have threatened to resort to extreme measures such as suspensions, and even confiscating part or all of jockeys winning percentages. Whaaaaaaaat????? If either of these options were to be used, it would provoke another bitter fight which Australian racing just does not need- and will result in industrial action.
Surely, the time has come for Racing Australia and the State Governing Bodies to review this farcical rule limiting the number of strikes to a certain number within the last 100 metres of a race, and amend it to a certain number of strikes during a race. The last 100 metres is a critical stage of a race, and jockeys in Oz have cited the new whips rules as the difference between winning and losing a race, notwithstanding the absurdity of a jockey having to keep a mental note of how many times he or she has used the whip over the concluding stages of a race.
Jockeys schooled a certain way cannot suddenly be expected to also be mathematicians and robots during the course of a race while also doing the best they can to win it on a thousand pound animal.
Anyone else notice the number of "gentle" finishes in a race these days? Why? A jockey just might think their "quota" of time at the "whipping post" are up. And if and when this happens, the hapless punter loses out yet again.
If these whip rules are here to stay, perhaps, looking ahead, and at the next generation of jockeys coming through the ranks, there is a need to take a leaf from the riding styles of great South African riders like Basil Marcus, Felix Coetzee and Douglas Whyte, all non-whip riders and who, instead, use their upper body strength.
And then there's the Magic Man- Joao Moreira, who navigates a path for himself in a race the same way that Lewis Hamilton competes in a Formula 1 event. He doesn't bash a horse around with arms flaying all over the place. It's the São Paulo school of riding.
In Australia, if these whip rules are to exist- even with much-needed amendments- it really might be time to start making gradual changes as opposed to demanding complete change- overnight- and expecting everyone to relearn what they have spent years learning and fine-tuning. And, as usual, these arbitrary orders and rules come from those who have never ever sat on a horse. Make sense?
Another setback for the misplaced obsession with internationalizing the Championships: a stewards inquiry opened into a possible bleeding attack suffered by the solitary potential international competitor – Japan's Tosen Stardom. Stating the bleeding obvious again, the timing of the Championships – coinciding with the commencement of the European flat racing season, the Dubai Racing Carnival, and so close to Hong Kong's second International racing week with the QE 2 Cup, Champions Mile and Sprint Championship, will always be an understandable deterrent to having the world's best horses travel to the land down under. And to then close Sydney's workhorse race track Canterbury for use as quarantine centre for a month just doesn't make any sense, whatsoever.
It just beggars belief that Sydney's premier mid-week race track has been put out of business for one month just to serve as a quarantine centre for one solitary international visitor, who is now in grave danger of missing the race. Surely common sense – a rarity in racing and among racing administrators, should be given an airing?
Where's Joao Moreira? We're struggling to work out why one of the world's best jockeys – just a similar nine hour flight away from Sydney as Zac Purton and Brett Prebble, two world class jockeys based in Hong Kong, who have been riding at the Sydney features over the past few Saturdays- isn't riding in Sydney.
Apart from his imposing record and total dominance in Hong Kong, Moreira is no stranger to Group One wins in Australia- and his presence would be a huge boost for the Championships. But something has soured the Magic Man's flying visits to the land down under and into the open arms of a fawning racing media with even word that Moreira might move there permanently. Remember all the hype and hoopla?
Surely, his non-appearance has nothing to do with those rumours from the days of yore when the brilliant Brazilian was said to be all set to ride exclusively for Sheikh Mo, and suddenly became persona non grata with a number of leading stables in Oz? And did all these politics, and offers to ride non-winners, make Joao say to himself, "Screw it. Who needs it? I'll stay put in Hong Kong, where life's been great to me, break even more records, and keep all options open to getting on the best world class horses from Japan". Joao Moreira is no fool. He isn't known as "The Smiling Assassin" for nothing.

There is no restriction on the whip in the final 100m. Its limits apply before the 100m. Just Sayin.

Cleveland Cavaliers 94, Orlando Magic 84
Orlando Magic sensed the frustration.
The team struggled to fire their shots – face to face or not – and saw a deficit grow. Orlando didn't seem to return to the game. Open shots, turnover, shots straight to the basket, no one had an explanation as to why the Magic didn't fight their way back into the game.
That frustration boiled over when Cole Anthony tried to take on an attack and was called in for a block instead. Anthony pushed a little too hard for the foul and got a technical foul for his effort.
Jalen Suggs would concede a second technical foul for the team when he grabbed one of the officials by the shoulder and tried to show the contact he felt on one of his drives – and wasn't called.
It was such a game. And the magic's poor shooting weakened their defensive focus as they struggled to shoot offensively.
The Orlando Magic went cold in the third quarter and fell too far back to catch up as frustration caught up with the team in the Summer League.
The game went away from the Orlando Magic in the third quarter as the Cleveland Cavaliers built a 15-point lead on the way to a 94-84 win. The Cavaliers shot 48.6 percent off the ground and kept the Magic at 39.0 percent shooting. The game can be so easy at times as Orlando struggled to get the offense going again.

It was a physical and disorganized fight for both teams, but the magic went cold off the field in the third quarter. There were no open looks as the Cavaliers played an aggressive style of defense. Orlando grew frustrated when Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs both picked up technical fouls and argued with the umpires.
Orlando's second unit sorted things out in the fourth quarter, but the Cavaliers had an answer for every magic bucket.
Jalen Suggs had some highlight reel games in his second summer league game. Towards the end of the second quarter, he had a draw-drop putback dunk: Suggs sprinted from the three-point line and finished with authority over the Cavaliers defender.
He would follow that game with a nice plate to RJ Hampton for a three. And then he added another poster dunk in the third quarter. Suggs was a hiking highlight and the team and fans should be happy with his game so far.
Suggs finished the game with 16 points, eight rebounds and five assists. He had a better game that made his teammates offensive. He was overwhelmed by frustration towards the end of the third quarter, but the rookie ended the period on a floater. Suggs was facing adversity for the first time as a professional and it was meant to serve as a learning experience.
Franz Wagner showed a better performance than the last game. Wagner scored 10 points and grabbed three rebounds. But Wagner's bread and butter is his movement without a ball.
He had one play where he took the 7-foot Evan Mobley out of dribbling and finished with an up-and-under layup. In two games Wagner did not feel comfortable generating offensive from the dibble. But it's still the Summer League and the rookie has plenty of time to build his confidence.
RJ Hampton cut sales on that game and knocked out three of his six 3-point attempts. He scored nine points in a 3-for-10 shootout from the field, which isn't impressive from a second player in a summer league game.
But Hampton had a key moment that may go unnoticed. He took on a leadership role and played an important role in reassuring teammates Cole Anthony and Jalen Suggs in the late third period when emotions flared. Hampton was able to calmly explain his teammates' cases to the referees.
Cole Anthony had a disastrous trip shooting basketball. You can tell that he wanted to go offensive, but his shots didn't go down. He missed two threes in a row in possession.
Anthony had a shooting efficiency problem last season and he needs to work on that. He only had four points in 2v10 shooting. He grabbed three rebounds and dealt three assists in just 17 minutes of action.
The Orlando Magic are back in action against the Boston Celtics on Thursday as the Summer League continues.

How to combat the dread to return to work or the 'Sunday Scaries'


The dashcam video clearly shows that the officer instigated every aspect of this conflict, then took Sandra more than 30 feet away from the dashboard camera.
The dashcam video shows that Officer Encinia lied about trying to de-escalate Ms. Bland, and WHY he had her get out of her vehicle.
the officer warns someone, who has already been confirmed to have taken video of the incident to leave. Where is that citizen, and why haven't we heard from him???
Her death was at some point alleged to have been due to huge amounts of Marijuana in her system; but she had actually just left a job interview. Who does that while high???
Current Waller County Sheriff Royce "Glenn" Smith was fired as Hempstead Police Chief in Texas in 2007 after video evidence was used to prove accusations of racist behavior toward its Black Population.
Waller County Texas has a well-documented history of segregation and voter suppression, right up through RECENT attempts to restrict Prairie View A&M students ability to vote in the upcoming elections.
Sandra Bland is an alumnus of Prairie View A&M, and had just accepted a job to do Community Relations Work at her alma Mater just minutes before her arrest.
There was no legal, nor logical reason why she should have ever had to exit her car. Much less at the threat of being tasered.
While The city of Cleveland, Ohio continues to protect Cops involved in the outright EXECUTION of its Black & Brown population, it at least appears that The City of Cincinnati is seeking to take a more proactive approach. After initially refusing to release Body Camera video from the traffic stop that led to the MURDER of 43-Year-Old Samuel DuBose, officials have taken an about face in not only releasing the video, but announcing that 25-year-old officer Raymond Tensing has been charged with Murder & Voluntary Manslaughter. One must note that Tensing is a University Of Cincinnati Campus Police Officer, and not part of The Cincinnati Police Department (wondering aloud if they would have treated this crisis any differently). Tensing's Incident Report followed the usual pattern of verbiage designed to justify the execution of Our People; but we can all see from the Body Camera Video that this pig was neither dragged by Samuel DuBose's car-nor was there any form of aggression from him. This overseer was NEVER in danger, and there were other means of handling the situation. In announcing the indictment, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters noted that, even if DuBose was going to attempt to drive off, the officer had his license plate and other options would have been available to apprehend him. Deters also noted that any signs of a struggle came solely from Overseer Tensing falling after shooting Sam duBose in the head. To be clear, DuBose was pulled over because the car he was driving did not have a license plate on the front of the car, DuBose peacefully complied & communicated during the stop, and even handed over a CLOSED liquor bottle to the Overseer. Less than two minutes after being approached, Samuel DuBose was dead. IF convicted Raymond Tensing could face Life in Prison.
Cincinnati has a long history of Police Misconduct, and is not far removed from The 2001 Riots that broke out after a white officer (Stephen Roach) was seen shooting an unarmed 19-year-old Timothy Thomas.
So far this year, there have been 550 documented cases in which police officers have shot & killed a citizen. while many may have been justified, we can NEVER stop fighting in the memory of those that were clear EXECUTIONS!
July 25th 1946 marks the date of the last "reported" Mass Lynching in American History. On that day a mob of whites ambushed two couples, dragged them from the vehicle and fired At Least 60 Gunshots into their bodies. One of the women (Dorothy Malcom) was seven months pregnant at the time. Her body was cut open & the unborn child was removed and left on the ground next to her dead body. What would become known as "The Moore's Ford Lynching," occurred in Walton County, Georgia-not far from Moore's Ford Bridge.

With the impending day approaching anxiety could be riding high for all the family. All over the country parents, carers, teachers and students are waiting for RESULTS this Thursday.
Siblings could be feeling the tension throughout the home. Parents maybe thinking through every eventuality and the waiting student feeling pressure from all areas and let's not forget the teachers too!
Anxiety and stress being high for this one day which seems to define years of effort and work since those first days in foundation class. But it is important to remember it is not what determines us as a person, although it is an important day it does not mark the rest of our life.
Easier said than done: Try and stay calm and the atmosphere in the home will be more peaceful.
Try and offer solutions and alternatives it is not useful to be critical, your young person is probably their own biggest critic.
Try and make a plan with your young person. How will they receive their results? Do they want you nearby? Will you do something special to mark this landmark e.g. go out for lunch, make a great cake?
If things don't go to plan have a plan B. Be prepared with telephone numbers for clearing, college and school opening times and maybe look at different options like apprenticeships.
Keep communication open if you can, sometimes it might be easier initially for your young person to talk it through with a friend or teacher.
Remember to keep eating well and healthily, try to get some sleep the night before as Thursday will be exhausting.
It could be a good idea to keep away from social media; this can sometimes initiate unwanted anxiety and negativity.
If you are feeling anxious and finding yourself worrying, feeling sick, shaky. Try and help with steady breathing, perhaps a good walk, talk it through with a parent or friend, remember this will pass.
Remember Thursday is an important day. Find a way of celebrating your efforts whatever your results. You have reached an end of a chapter and give yourself a big tap on the back. WELL DONE!!!
If things don't work out just how you would have liked try to recognise there are other ways to be successful. It is determination and belief in your own ability that can help. Remember Thomas Edison, Walt Disney, Sir Richard Branson and Simon Cowell were not all academics at school.

Taking the Ground

Check out the new video about putting Issuma onto a beach and drying out with the tides in Patagonia on the
Schooner Issuma youtube channel.
Sailing Onto Anchor
I have a new video about sailing onto anchor on the Schooner Issuma YouTube Channel. It describes how to sail onto anchor, and then shows my crew and I doing it.
Most of the video was shot several years ago at the end of the Northwest Passage, when we sailed onto anchor in a large bay to wait out a gale that was coming.
Last Sail of the Year
31 December 2020 | Little Bay, Marystown, Newfoundland, Canada
My last sail of the year in Marystown, Newfoundland, Canada, on New Years Eve.
The forecast was for light winds in the morning, steadily building to a southerly gale in the late afternoon.
We got off the dock just after 0800, and started setting sails immediately in a very light tailwind. The picture was taken in Little Bay, where Issuma is now docked, by Francis Farrell.
Several ropes were frozen, so getting the sails set was slow. We weren't able to set the jib at all because the sheets were too swollen to get through a turning block.
With a reefed main (not shown) for balance and two staysails, we pleasantly sailed Mortier Bay (where Marystown and Little Bay are) for almost three hours. Then the cold wind picked up and encouraged dousing the sails and motoring back to the dock for a celebratory drink below in the warm cabin.
Issuma Gets a Set of Tires
22 December 2020 | Marystown
Old tires make the best fenders.
In the picture, Issuma is being pushed against the wooden dock by 45-55 knots of wind, and the camera is looking down, between the hull and the dock. The tires are both preserving the paint on Issuma's steel hull, and protecting the dock. Inflatable fenders (of which I have a few) would be punctured by the load on the tire on the left of the picture.
My friend Joe kindly gave me a set of four, wide tires, two of which are in the picture. The wider the tire, the more it keeps the hull off uneven surfaces.
It takes about ten minutes with a 1/2" (12mm) electric drill to drill a 3/4" (19mm) hole in the tires (less time if the tires don't have any steel belts in them) to pass a rope through.
The downside of tire fenders is that they are difficult to store when underway (they also make black marks on the hull, but that can be solved by painting the hull a dark color). I tie the tires on deck, but they do take up a noticeable amount of space.
So in case you thought voyaging boats don't use tires...now you know :)
Underway Again!
I spent over three weeks in Trepassey, waiting for weather and for parts. People were wondering if I was going to winter there!
I did not want to winter in Trepassey, as it's not a completely protected place, though it's fairly well protected if one moves around as necessary.
I had an unusually good weather forecast--a moderate tailwind. The winds are almost always from the west on this coast, so headwinds--this forecast was for a much-less-common SE.
I figured the trip would be about 18 hours, plus time to get in and out of ports. That was fine, but since I was singlehanding, I needed to think about the possibility of adverse currents or less wind making for a longer trip, since I needed to be awake and alert the entire time, especially approaching a downwind destination at night.
I prepared the boat for sea, cooked some food to be easily available, and got to bed early, setting the alarm for 0400. It still took almost two hours to get up, eat, download latest weather forecasts and get underway.
Motoring out of the quiet harbour was easy enough, and first light arrived as I did. Outside the harbor, there was good wind, so I quickly set sail and turned off the motor.
It was awesome to be sailing as the sun rose on a sunny December 1st! A pleasant close reach took us down to Cape Pine, then we turned to the west, broad reaching and running downwind. This is living!
About 1700, shortly after sunset, a full moon rose, causing the waves to sparkle. The temperature also rose, as the SE wind brought relative warmth (8 degrees C).
By midnight, I was approaching the coast, and lowered the sails and started motoring. Visibility was still good, with some mist, but the shore was quite visible in the moonlight.
Some twists and turns around islands and rocks, and we were soon out of the waves and wind.
I anchored in Ship Cove, Burin, at 0200, tired and happy.
24 November 2020 | Trepassey
The wind went to the north, and strongly blew the warm air away overnight. By sunrise, the boat was covered in a very light dusting of snow.
Old Fish Plant Wharf
The fish plant was shut down a long time ago. There are some businesses in the buildings on shore, but the wharf has seen very little maintenance for the last thirty years.
Looking South
The view south, from where Issuma is anchored in the Norhwest Arm, on a calm (it's usually not calm) morning.
In the distance is the old Fish Plant wharf.
The Long Winding Road Down
The northern part of the inlet is divided into the Northwest Arm on the left, where Issuma is anchored, and the much longer Northeast Arm, on the right.
It's a nice walk down from the highway to the harbour.
Like the Sign Says
Issuma is anchored in the picturesque town of Trepassey, in southern Newfoundland.
I stopped here to rest, wait for weather, and see the area. I wasn't planning on being here for more than a few days, but just before I was about to leave, I noticed a mechanical problem (with the hydraulic oil cooler). While this problem does not prevent the engine from operating, it should be fixed.
So, now I'm stopped here for longer, as I wait for parts to arrive.
Which gives me more time to see the area...

News > Pacific NW
Puget Sound district has bipartisan members
UPDATED: Tue., Nov. 24, 2020
By Jim Camden jimc@spokesman.com(509) 879-7461
Washington's 26th Legislative District, which includes parts of Pierce and Kitsap counties, will have a Democrat in the Senate and two Republicans in the House next year. It was incorrectly labelled on a map on page A6 of Tuesday's newspaper about the partisan breakdown in 2021 of Washington's legislative districts as a result of a reporter's error. Also, the district will be one of four legislative districts statewide that be represented by legislators from two parties next year. The incorrect number was listed in the accompanying article that ran on the front page.

Q: how to execute commands (remote, asynchronous, pull) I would like to execute commands on a remote desktop machine, but SSH would be difficult since the remote is offline most of the time, resides in a time tone 10 hours from mine, and may often be behind a firewall / NAT with an unknown IP. So it will have to pull my commands when it can. I am thinking of something around curl http://.../do.sh | bash just kidding.
Are there tools available that support such a thing?
I am looking for

*

*Something simple and reasonable stable

*for Linux

*that pulls commands securely from a web address, mailbox, etc,

*does require some form of authorization, of course (for example, does not execute anything unsigned)

*that reports standard output and standard error, and maybe the exit value back to me.

I could provide a server with HTTPS, valid certificates, even sshd if necessary. I think I am able to hack something myself in theory, but I am afraid that would be really time-consuming.
A similar question was asked before, but not really answered (use procmail & code yourself; use our powerful commercial tool for 250$).

A: It's not that silly (the ssh idea), and could easily enough be implemented if a) the machine that serves ssh up is on-line and b) remains reachable by the same name/IP at all times.  You can easily enough script ssh to authenticate password-less for a given user (daemon?) account, pull a file, and then act upon it.  I don't think that this is in the too-hard (or too time consuming) basket.

A: You can also think about using a git or svn repository and use post-hook.
For example :

*

*Client modify a file with a list of command or a bash script to execute

*Client push modified file to remote server (server that is online most of the time -- use bitbucket or github or any git/svn service provider)

*Server when logged in execute a git merge/svn update

*With a git merge hook or svn post-update hook trick
It's not so hard and it can be a way to handle the offline state of your server.

A: I'd look at something like cfengine or puppet - they're designed to run commands on remote servers, and log the result.
