Well it looks like my worst fears came true, literally overnight. Maybe insiders at Microsoft and Nokia will be able to convince themselves that this is a refreshing, innovative alliance, but I think most others will see it as a dinosaur wedding. Two giant market leaders getting into bed together – and very likely pushing everyone else out.
It needn't be. These may not be the most fashionable companies right now, but they each have histories of innovation. If we saw the best of them combined in one smartphone system it could be something to behold. But will we? It is hard to be sanguine. A move like this seems almost the opposite of a brave, independent vision.
I have argued that Apple are actually not a particularly innovative company, but here they did something that was truly game-changing. What Nokia and Microsoft seem to be doing though is not changing the game again, but trying to grab as much as possible of the game as it is. Between them, they reckon they have the hardware and software to go head-to-head with Apple. Well and good from a profit point of view, but it borders on the anti-competitive.
At the moment in the smartphone world we have winning products from Apple, Nokia, Google, Microsoft and RIM (Blackberry), as well as interesting outsiders like HP's WebOS and various other adaptations of Linux and Java. When was any branch of the computer industry as open as that? Certainly not since the home computer explosion of the 80s; probably not since IBM's rise to dominance. This is an extraordinary time for choice and innovation. Yes, it has to shake out and consolidate. Leaders must emerge. But when the people who are already the market leaders band together to protect their position, that is disappointing.
Nokia have said that they will continue to work with their own Symbian operating system for now, as well as MeeGo, the promising mobile version of Linux they've been working on with Intel and others, but it is hard to seriously imagine them putting their hearts into it when they are in partnership with the maker of a product competing with both. It seems more likely that they will atrophy, and the available choices will shrink. A Nokia-Microsoft product will almost inevitably rise to a dominant position. Not because it is better – Windows Phone 7 is still largely untried – but simply because of economies of scale. Because they are big.
In just a couple of years we may see a smartphone market that consists of little more than two giants – Apple and Nokia-Microsoft – and a plethora of minor competitors using Android. This will be a particular shame because it is so unnecessary. Unlike the desktop computer market there was no real argument for a natural monopoly here. Document compatibility and intercommunication are non-issues. It will just be too hard for smaller companies to get a look-in when giant competitors can work on graphene margins. So competition, and innovation, slowly dies.
And there is little we can do about it. Except of course refuse to buy the phones.
Microsoft has a long history of failed strategic partnerships, and its failed mobile strategic partnership list alone is long enough to make any kind of future success hard to imagine.
Indeed. What worries me most here is that Nokia have far more to lose than Microsoft. They've agreed to drop their development of a rival product. If things turn sour between Espoo and Redmond, Nokia would have little option but to become just another Android user. Their leadership position will be lost forever.
Microsoft meanwhile have eliminated a rival. They don't need Nokia. So I can see the Finnish company exhausting themselves just to make the relationship work.
Microsoft is in a tough position, though, too. Win Phone 7 isn't selling for crap right now, and they have no actual tablet strategy. As computing rapidly moves to tablets and smartphones, Microsoft becomes less and less important. It isn't hard at all to imagine that 10 years from now — and to a certain extent in just 5 — the only people who will need desktop-class computing will be those in science, engineering, and the people making software for all of the tablets and smartphones and such.
If even they need such things, since tablets (especially down the road) make perfectly great front-ends for truly powerful computers off in the cloud somewhere.
If I owned stock in either company, I'd sell all it tomorrow.
Holy crap: Microsoft to pay out 'billions' as part of Nokia deal.
Now I don't know who felt more desperate.
I hope you won't mind if I make this the jumping-off point for today's post, Matthew.
It's pretty much precisely why I pointed you at it.

Everyone that writes on the role of the business analyst eventually has to cover their take on what the role actually is about.
One of the best articles I read when doing research for my own position was by Jan Kusiak and Derek Brown. Last year I met Jan at the BA World conference and had a friendly argument about the value that a BA should provide.
My take went straight to the top of the startegic apex. A business analyst needs to be able to link their contribution to the organisational mission.
Jan countered with the fact that BAs develop their career over time and usually come out of frontline operations areas, first as an SME in either a business area of technology domain. He explained that a fledgeling analyst needs to master the basics of the role; communication, systems thinking and so on, before elaborating and extending their capabilities.
It takles a while, it seemed he was saying to me, for a typical analyst to really build their skills to a level that gives them the ability to get to where I think they (we) should be operating.
Fair enough. Everyone has their own path.
Anyway, RQNG has just published an updated version of Jan and Derek's take on "What is a BA."
If your work with business analysts, if this is your job today, or if you want to become a BA this is a great read.
I think its time to change the title, or have alternate ones. I like "Requirements Specialist", because that's what it come down to, irrespective of all the other stuff that gets jammed under the "Business Analyst" umbrella.
I want to disown the idea of changing the title completely, because (1) it is way too late to do that given the IIBA and CBAP, and (2) other roles have lots of different titles and sub-titles.
So, I think "Business Analyst - Requirements Specialist" is a fine title.
Business Analyst, Systems Analyst, Business Systems Analyst, Technology Analyst... I could go on and on about the different names that apply to the role. My take on it is this... I don't care what your title is, I want to know about what you do. I've seen Product Owners for software applications who are some of the best BAs I've ever met, even though they've never had that title or any formal training. Its what you do and how well you do it that counts to me.
To paraphrase a southern comedian I heard in my youth, "I don't care what you call it. You can call the dish 'Corn and Beans' but its still Succotash."
Thanks for all your comments, glad the paper offers some food for thought. Many of the ba's we come across in our training courses work for large corporates and are involved with maintenance and enhancement of legacy or core systems. There's not a lot of scope for creativity here - their job is very much just "documenting requirements". The more experienced ones tend to be working on business changing projects which offer a lot more scope for adding business value. This probably explains why ba job ads range from $50K salary to $150K or more. Sadly, many organisations don't see their ba's as anything other than documenters but we have to balance this with the fact that it's core systems that do the day-to-day work of large organisations.

Fassbinder, the prolific German Nouvelle Vague Director, is much admired by American indie filmmakers such as Todd Haynes and Richard Linklater and is enjoying a long overdue revival and reappraisal thanks to a recent in depth retrospective from the BFI. To celebrate the resurgence in Fassbinder's art, STUDIOCANAL will release a newly restored 4K version of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 1981 drama, LOLA on 3rd July.
Set in a small West German town in 1957, a booming economy is generating a new sense of optimism. In the town brothel, "Villa Fink," Lola (Barbara Sukowa Berlin Alexanderplatz, Romance and Cigarettes), a young high-class prostitute with a zest for life, is the star of the show. Her favourite client is the influential developer Schuckert (Mario Adorf The Tin Drum), who enjoys spending time at Villa Fink with city officials important to his construction business. When von Bohm (Armin Mueller-Stahl The Game, Angels & Demons), an upright, energetic building commissioner with a liberal, social-democratic outlook, arrives in the town, he falls in love with Lola without being aware where she works by night. Although he is shocked when he learns of her true identity, he nevertheless marries her. As a result, Lola gains a husband and Schuckert is awarded a new building contract. Ultimately neither Lola, von Bohm or Schuckert are really concerned with what has happened in the past or the morality of their decisions – the main thing is that they get what they want.
Lola marks the third part of Fassbinder's BRD Trilogy alongside 1979's The Marriage of Maria Braun (BRD 1) and Veronika Voss (BRD 2) released in 1982. Lola is loosely based on Josef von Sternberg's The Blue Angel (1930) and its source novel, 'Professor Unrat' by Heinrich Mann. The three-letter acronym "BRD" stands for Bundesrepublik Deutschland, the official name of West Germany and of the united contemporary Germany, and represents Fassbinder's attempt to create an overall picture of West Germany at the time.
A boxset of Fassbinder's films will also be released by STUDIOCANAL on 23 October 2017.

NBA Playoffs 2020: Game 1 of Raptors-Nets is most-watched Raptors first-round game on Sportsnet ever
Per Sportsnet's Michael Grange, over 2.5 million Canadians tuned in to Game 1 of the Toronto Raptors, a 34% increase from Game 1 against the Orlando Magic in 2019.
https://images.daznservices.com/di/library/NBA_Global_CMS_image_storage/58/74/nba-logo_1otf1c2u207hs1pmrjqq1ba5h5.png?t=-1897533906&w=500
By NBA.com Staff @NBA
Game 1 of the first round series between the Toronto Raptors and Brooklyn Nets was a record-breaking occasion.
Not only did the Raptors set franchise postseason records with 134 points and 22 3-pointers in the win, but they also did it in front of a record-breaking television audience.
According to Sportsnet's Michael Grange, Toronto's Game 1 win was the most watched Raptors first round game ever on Sportsnet, drawing 34% more viewers than last year's postseason opener against the Orlando Magic.
Game 1 vs. Nets was the most-watched @Raptors first-round game ever on @Sportsnet and drew 34% more viewers than Game 1 vs. Orlando last year. Average audience of 1.05 million and reached 2.5-million Canadians overall. Canada loves them some 'bubble' Raps, clearly.
- Michael Grange (@michaelgrange) August 18, 2020
Given the nature of the NBA's restart, it would make sense that more Raptors fans would tune in due to an inability to attend the game in person but the figure of 2.5 total viewers is impressive, especially considering Game 1's 4 p.m. start time.
Toronto has an opportunity to break viewership records on a different network in Game 2, which takes place on Wednesday, Aug. 19 at 1:30 p.m. on TSN.

METX E-Formula XPro Provides enhanced maintenance action for high performance and diesel engines.
High-performance engines and diesel engines tend to produce greater carbon deposits and metal fragmentation due to the higher pressure and higher demands that are expected of the engine.
E-Formula XPro provides that extra cleaning and penetration lubrication that a high-performance engine needs to protect the metal against fragmentation and keep the engine carbon clean to keep it performing at the top of its game...if not better.
E-Formula XPro is also ideal for heavy-duty diesel engines which are also subjected to high-performance pressures and often greater carbon production in their diesel engines.
METX was strongly recommended by a colleague when the topic of car servicing was discussed. I was skeptical initially as mine was a new car and I'm particular what's going into the engine system. Having read through all the positive reviews, I took the plunge and try it on my 1st 10k servicing. It was awesome....response and noise reduction were the first to be experienced. My car responded well and by end of the fuel tank, I calculated and mileage had improved too. Thumbs up!
It is still the way it works which turn my engine more silent, power and light on my accelerator which i had been using for my current car and the past 2nos. of ex-car.

Road to Mercy
Canada is the first country outside of Europe to have a legal framework, that could make physician-assisted death available to people suffering from non-terminal illnesses.
In October 2020 the Canadian government introduced Bill C-7, legislation to broaden the eligibility for MAiD to include Canadians who suffer from an interminable illness with no foreseeable death, and dementia patients who have made an advance request before losing the capacity to consent.
The 82-minute version of Road to Mercy explores the complex issue of providing medical assistance in dying to dementia patients through the story of Jack Brown. In the film Jack, who has been diagnosed with early on-set Alzheimer's, considers his end-of-life options with his wife Riemke. Thousands of Canadians are faced with this difficult situation and a Public Health Agency report projects that deaths linked to Alzheimer's disease and other dementias will increase to 90,000 by 2031.
The film and discussion guide is available for groups who want to better understand how MAiD legislation might impact Canadians' end of life choices.

alumniVentures grant to Kim Perlak '01MM keeps on giving
Kim Perlak '01MM
Guitarist and professor Kim Perlak '01MM received an alumniVentures grant in 2009-10 and wrote recently to tell YSM of the project's successful continuation. alumniVentures, the initiative supporting efforts to advance the cause of music, began in 2008-09 and has given three rounds of grants to YSM alumni.
Wrote Perlak, "My music history and performance students at Concordia University were so inspired to volunteer in my Yale grant project that I have created a series called Music-History-Service. This annual project will encourage both students and faculty to explore the history of the music they love, and through it, make a difference in the present."
Perlak's latest project, "Ben and I Play For Peace," has attracted national press. Three "Ben and I Play for Peace" concerts will take place on April 3, 2011 at 3 pm in Austin, Tex.; Denver, Colo.; and Sarasota, Fla. The concerts will present the world premiere of a work by Benjamin Verdery, a faculty member at the Yale School of Music. Proceeds will benefit a program called Wheelchairs for Iraqi Kids.
Ben Werdegar, a 13-year-old guitarist from California, has pledged to raise $1 million in partnership with Brad Blauser (a CNN Hero) to purchase wheelchairs for disabled children in Iraq. Funds raised in the April events will add to Ben's personal total of $19,000 – which he raised by playing at his neighborhood coffee shop in San Francisco.

'Wheel of Time': Amazon Adds 5 to Cast to Star Opposite Rosamund Pike
Madeleine Madden, Marcus Rutherford, Barney Harris, Zoë Robins and Josha Stradowski join the series
Tim Baysinger | August 14, 2019 @ 9:46 AM
Amazon had added five new cast members to its upcoming "Wheel of Time" adaptation to star alongside Rosamund Pike.
Madeleine Madden will star as "Egwene Al'Vere"; Marcus Rutherford as "Perrin Aybara"; Barney Harris as "Mat Cauthon"; Zoë Robins as "Nynaeve"; and Josha Stradowski as "Rand Al'Thor."
The series is based on the bestselling fantasy book series by Robert Jordan, "The Wheel of Time" takes place in a world where magic exists and only certain women are allowed to access it.
Also Read: Rosamund Pike to Star in Amazon's 'The Wheel of Time' Adaptation
Pike will play the series' central character, Moiraine, a member of the powerful all-female organization called the Aes Sedai, who "embarks on a dangerous, world-spanning journey with five young men and women, one of whom is prophesied to be the Dragon Reborn, who will either save or destroy humanity."
Ordered to series last fall as an Amazon Studios-Sony Pictures Television co-production, the series is being adapted for television by "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s" Rafe Judkins, who will serve as executive producer and showrunner.
"The Wheel of Time" is a series of 14 novels that began with "The Eye of the Universe" in 1990 and concluded with "A Memory of Light," which was finished by Brandon Sanderson following Jordan's death in 2007. A number of attempts have been made to adapt the books for film or television, though none have made it to screen in any meaningful way. FXX quietly aired a pilot, titled "Winter's Dragon," as recently as early 2015, but did so without any publicity or build up and allowed the project to fade into obscurity.
Larry Mondragon and Rick Selvage of Red Eagle Entertainment, Ted Field and Mike Weber of Radar Pictures, Darren Lemke, Marigo Kehoe and Uta Briesewitz will also serve as executive producers. Briesewitz is set to direct the first two episodes.

You should always care about the impression your office space makes on your customers and employees.Every business should have quality and style outside the office as well as within to ensure customers only receive a good impression.
It is important you have a driveway which gives your customers and employees a good impression about the business. If you're driveway and car park is all old looking and warn out, we can help revamp and create a new smart looking driveway to fit your business. Not only that, you need to ensure that your property has no risk hazards. Having pot holes in your drive can be a serious hazard which could end up hurting someone or damaging property, this will then reflect badly on the business.
Depending on what business you have, it is sometimes necessary to have parent with child parking. It is also always important to have some disabled parking and disabled access to ensure that the business is open and welcoming to all the public.
Tarmac driveways is one of the most popular surfaces for commercial driveways. It is the ideal solution for hard-wearing, long lasting and high-traffic areas. It can be laid quickly and is safe to drive on within a short period of time.
Tarmac driveways are quick and easy to install. This driveway surface is one of the easiest to prepare, as well as being economical, hard wearing and long-lasting. it is a smooth surface with no cracks or joints that can become filled with rain. It is resistant to rain, snow and frost.
Easy to maintain as you can easily add another layer of tarmac if it has worn over time.
Cost effective as it is extremely affordable to buy, install and maintain.
This surface allows you to paint car parking lines, disabled signs and other road markings.


I don't care much for coats or jackets. I prefer blazers and vests for outerwear. On my recent thrifting trip, however, I truly lucked out on some great finds. And, luckily for me, it was 25% off day. It was just meant to be. I wanted to do a post on these finds but not in my typical way of how I do my thrifting/shopping haul (check out here and here for a refresher). Since creating a video haul was completely out of the question, the only other option I could think of was having a photo coat shoot. With the help of Bisi of Road to Fashionable, this post was made. After our hard afternoon/evening work of shooting pictures and withstanding the freezing cold and that fuckshit windchill, we went for warmth and sushi.
Out of the three, this leather jacket was the cheapest. Craziness, right? That's thrift store prices for you. Anywho, the original price was $9.99. 25% off - $7.49. When I saw the jacket it reminded me of this ASOS Curve Pencil Skirt because both items had the laser cut detailing that I love. The lining is 100% polyester. So, yeah, it's really not thick nor warm enough for this brutal winter weather BUT come spring time it'll be on and poppin'!
This coat is slightly thinner than your everyday coat...and that's perfectly fine with me. Heavy coats are not my thang plus I sweat easily. Original price was $14.99. 25% off - $11.25. The paisley print won me over.
Nothing wrong with a little pop of color. Especially in this dreary weather. Granted, this trenchcoat is more suited for the spring/fall weather. But, who cares. Love how I can button it up to the neck, tie the belt around my waist and it'll look like all I have on is the coat, tights and booties. Almost like a trenchcoat dress. Original price was $19.99. 25% off - $14.99. Usually (and by usually I mean almost never) do I purchase an item that high in a thrift store. Maybe with a 50% discount. But with only a 25%? Nah. But I had to swallow my pride and realize that this trenchcoat was just too pretty to pass up.
Did you enjoy this photoshoot? Would you like for me to continue with a series similar to this one? Leave your comments below.
Wishing everyone a great and safe week!

LPT has pledged support for the Nursing Times' Speak Out Safely campaign which aims to lead the way in transforming NHS culture.
Signing up to Speak Out Safely gives staff a clear message that we are committed to safe patient care and to empowering staff to raise concerns in the knowledge that they will not suffer as a consequence.
This trust supports the Nursing Times Speak Out Safely campaign. This means we encourage any staff member who has a genuine patient safety concern to raise this within the organisation at the earliest opportunity.
Patient safety is our prime concern and our staff are often best placed to identify where care may be falling below the standard our patients deserve. In order to ensure our high standards continue to be met, we want every member of our staff to feel able to raise concerns with their line manager, or another member of the management team. We want everyone in the organisation to feel able to highlight wrongdoing or poor practice when they see it and confident that their concerns will be addressed in a constructive way.
We promise that where staff identify a genuine patient safety concern, we shall not treat them with prejudice and they will not suffer any detriment to their career. Instead, we will support them, fully investigate and, if appropriate, act on their concern. We will also give them feedback about how we have responded to the issue they have raised, as soon as possible.
It is not disloyal to colleagues to raise concerns; it is a duty to our patients.

Your concerns will be dealt with in an open and supportive manner because we rely on you to ensure we deliver a safe service and ensure patient safety is not put at risk. We also want this organisation to have the confidence to admit to mistakes and to use them as learning opportunities.

Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans: Radiologic appearance
M. J. Kransdorf, J. M. Meis-Kindblom
OBJECTIVE. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a distinct clinicopathologic entity characterized by fibroblasts with a prominent storiform pattern. It accounts for about 6% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. The lesion is typically superficial, and the diagnosis can be suspected on the basis of the tumor's clinical appearance. Consequently, the imaging appearance of this entity is essentially unreported. Large lesions, however, can infiltrate the deep soft tissue and be confused with higher-grade sarcomas. We report the radiologic appearance in 11 cases of histologically proved dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The radiologic images of 11 patients who had histologically verified dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans were retrospectively studied. The patients included eight males and three females 9-47 years old (mean, 33 years). Each had a soft-tissue mass that had been present for a variable period, from 3 months to 23 years. CT scans were available for review in six cases, MR images in four, radiographs in nine, bone scintigrams in three, and arteriograms in three. RESULTS. All lesions were unmineralized nodular masses involving the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue. The size, in greatest dimension on imaging studies, was 3-22 cm. CT scans (six cases) showed a well-defined lesion with a distinct lobular or nodular architecture and tissue attenuation approximately equal to or greater than that of skeletal muscle. Moderate enhancement was seen on CT scans obtained after injection of contrast material. Arteriograms (three cases) showed mild to moderate hypervascularity. The MR appearance (four cases) was nonspecific; the lesions had prolonged T1 and T2 relaxation times. In one case, MR images showed multiple nodular lesions. Radiographs (nine cases) showed a soft-tissue mass or soft-tissue swelling without evidence of bone involvement or calcification. Bone scintigrams (three cases) showed increased accumulation of tracer. CONCLUSION. The radiologic appearance of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is typically that of an unmineralized, nodular soft-tissue mass involving the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue. CT scans or MR images are well suited to show this location, the relation of the lesion to underlying structures, and the distinct lobular or nodular architecture. Arteriograms will show mild to moderate hypervascularity and bone scintigrams will show increased accumulation of radiopharmaceutical.

abstract = "OBJECTIVE. Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is a distinct clinicopathologic entity characterized by fibroblasts with a prominent storiform pattern. It accounts for about 6% of all soft-tissue sarcomas. The lesion is typically superficial, and the diagnosis can be suspected on the basis of the tumor's clinical appearance. Consequently, the imaging appearance of this entity is essentially unreported. Large lesions, however, can infiltrate the deep soft tissue and be confused with higher-grade sarcomas. We report the radiologic appearance in 11 cases of histologically proved dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The radiologic images of 11 patients who had histologically verified dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans were retrospectively studied. The patients included eight males and three females 9-47 years old (mean, 33 years). Each had a soft-tissue mass that had been present for a variable period, from 3 months to 23 years. CT scans were available for review in six cases, MR images in four, radiographs in nine, bone scintigrams in three, and arteriograms in three. RESULTS. All lesions were unmineralized nodular masses involving the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue. The size, in greatest dimension on imaging studies, was 3-22 cm. CT scans (six cases) showed a well-defined lesion with a distinct lobular or nodular architecture and tissue attenuation approximately equal to or greater than that of skeletal muscle. Moderate enhancement was seen on CT scans obtained after injection of contrast material. Arteriograms (three cases) showed mild to moderate hypervascularity. The MR appearance (four cases) was nonspecific; the lesions had prolonged T1 and T2 relaxation times. In one case, MR images showed multiple nodular lesions. Radiographs (nine cases) showed a soft-tissue mass or soft-tissue swelling without evidence of bone involvement or calcification. Bone scintigrams (three cases) showed increased accumulation of tracer. CONCLUSION. The radiologic appearance of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans is typically that of an unmineralized, nodular soft-tissue mass involving the skin and subcutaneous adipose tissue. CT scans or MR images are well suited to show this location, the relation of the lesion to underlying structures, and the distinct lobular or nodular architecture. Arteriograms will show mild to moderate hypervascularity and bone scintigrams will show increased accumulation of radiopharmaceutical.",

Best Virtual Races, Fun Runs, 5Ks and Marathons

From Fun to Fierce, These Are the Virtual Races to Conquer This Fall
Ashley Keegan
Product photos from retailer sites.
To the dismay of runners everywhere, fall marathon season came to a screeching halt in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, many organizers switched to a virtual format, meaning that there are still plenty of ways to enjoy the season and keep your runs competitive this fall.
RELATED: Marathon Gear for Your Long Distance Runs
Virtual races were trending a little bit before the coronavirus shutdowns, but they've certainly surged in popularity since, well, there's really no other choice, right? That's not to say that taking on a virtual race is just "settling" for whatever you can get, however. While some runners may thrive in a big crowd setting, using nearby competitors and a strong sense of community to fuel their fight to the finish line, others actually prefer the flexibility and freedom that a virtual race affords them.
Consider this ... you get to choose your own route and start time, you get the whole road to yourself, and you'll have a range of dates to complete your mission without having to worry about a weather washout. You also don't need to worry about parking, porta potties, lines or any other pre-race annoyances that can distract you from your goal. It's just you and the miles ahead as you push yourself to beat your personal best or take things at a more leisurely pace. Best of all, a virtual race is something you can do with friends and family no matter how far away they may be. So, whether you plan to run, jog or walk your way to the finish line, it's easy to see how a virtual race can keep you and your "quaranteam" moving this fall.
How Do Virtual Runs Work?
It's actually pretty simple to get in on the fun. Just pick your race, register online, run your route and record it according to the organizer's terms. For some, you'll be able to use your treadmill, while others will require you to head outside and hit up a track, trail or whatever route you please. You'll also have to have some sort of fitness tracker on your person to record your activity, and that data will likely need to be synced with a particular app, such as Strava or RaceJoy. Once you follow all the rules and upload your race time, you'll receive your finisher's medal digitally or in the mail. Most races provide some nice swag for you to enjoy, too.
So, whether you were hoping to complete a full or half marathon this year, or you're just looking to do a little "fun run" to shake up your Turkey Day, we gathered some of the best virtual races for runners of all levels.
For Serious Runners
Virtual TCS New York City Marathon Run for the Medal
Dates: Oct. 17 - Nov. 1, 2020
Cost: $50 for NYRR members / $60 for non-members
Has it always been your dream to run the world-famous New York City marathon, but the stars haven't aligned for you yet? This could be your chance to push yourself to that epic finish line and get your official (albeit digital) medal … and a branded running buff. This year, an unlimited number of runners can race through the five boroughs of NYC virtually by uploading their activity to the Strava app. There's no time limit, but you'll have to complete your 26.2 miles in one shot on one day anytime during the racing period. The one caveat? Treadmill runs don't count, so you'll have to plan your route outdoors somewhere.
For the record, you could also opt for the free option to just Run for the Love of Running. You won't get any swag, but you'll still have all the bragging rights.
Find out more at NYRR.org
For the Love of Chocolate (and Charity)
2020 Allstate Hot Chocolate 5K or 15K
Dates: Sept. 1 - Jan. 1, 2021
Distance: 5K or 15K
Originally set to take place in several cities across the country, "America's Sweetest Race" is going virtual this year so chocoholics can participate in the sugar rush from anywhere they please. Participants get an official full-zip race jacket with removable hood, keepsake medal, personalized race bib and, of course, that sweet, sweet Chocolate Finisher's Kit full of hot chocolate packets and delicious dark chocolate squares. (Because, after all that hard work, you better get a good treat at the end, right?)
You'll have until the end of the year to complete your miles by either running or walking outside or on a treadmill. Just be sure to register before the date of the "official" race depending on the city you pick. For example, the Chicago race was set for Nov. 8 while the Tampa race was set for Dec. 20, so if you missed the deadline for one, just pick a different virtual location! Then, once you've gone the distance, you'll upload your time to your EnMotive account to download your very own Finisher's Certificate.
Best of all, the race supports the work of their official charity partner, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital®, in the fight to end childhood cancer. Now that's pretty sweet.

For the Most Consistent
2020 Utah National Parks Virtual Challenge
Dates: Sept. 1 - Dec. 31, 2020
Distance: Up to 369 miles
Cost: $65 (plus additional cost for optional races)
This series of virtual races challenges participants to log 369 miles by the end of the year. That's the distance through all five of Utah's absolutely breathtaking National Parks, but your miles will count wherever you track them, whether you're on your local streets or the treadmill. To help push you closer to that epic goal, you can also sign up for one or more of their five park-specific runs: the Zion 5K, the Bryce Canyon 8K, the Capitol Reef 10K, the Arches Half and the Canyonlands Marathon. They're all totally optional, but each one offers its own finisher's medal and stylish runner's swag, and all the miles you log in the races count toward your overall goal. Alternatively, you can choose to do one or a few of the smaller runs instead of the massive overall challenge, which is a great option to suit runners of all levels.
Each individual race takes you through a guided virtual route through the National Park of your choice — all virtual, of course, via the RaceJoy app. Plus, it's all for the benefit of the Natural History Associations for each park, so this is definitely one for the nature lovers.

For the Good and Strong
Boston Athletic Association #finishSTRONG Challenge
Date: Oct. 1 - Dec. 31, 2020
Distance: 5K, 10K and a half-marathon
Cost: $45 - $120
Get ready to challenge yourself to three distances in three months, all with the singular goal of ending 2020 with a strong finish. You'll complete each distance in one continuous attempt, though you don't have to worry about any time limits or specific dates. Choose from either the Finish Line Package with physical shirts and bibs or the all-digital Starter Package. Either way, you can feel good that $10 of your entry fee will be put towards B.A.A.'s charity partners: Special Olympics of Massachusetts, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.

For the Beer Lovers
Hops Trot USA
Date: Oct. 15 - Nov. 30, 2020
Distance: 1 mile, 5K, 10K or half-marathon
Want to challenge yourself, celebrate with a beer and give back to the community? This fun race allows you to choose from the Malty Mile, Stout Route 5K, IPA 10K or the Hoppy Half Marathon. They're all the same price and you get all the same swag, including a cool finisher's medal that not only doubles as a bottle opener, but triples as a cork-lined coaster. You'll also score a CDC-approved cool-comfort buff, a "Will Run for Beer" koozie and two post-run beer tokens that can be redeemed at a partnering brewery. If you live in a big city, you can browse and sign up for a location-specific Hops Trots here and score some extra perks; otherwise, the nationwide virtual option will do just fine. But even if you can't get to the nearest participating brewery, you can always BYOB and kick back with a post-race cold one at home. Best of all, 25 percent of proceeds go to their charity partner, Feeding America, to help local food banks in your area.

For the Fall Fans
Gourdy's Pumpkin Run
Date: Sept. 1 - Nov. 22, 2020
Formerly known as "The Great Pumpkin Run," this long-standing 5K is for all the fall aficionados out there. Your entry fee will get you a lightweight tech hoodie with Jack O'Lantern graphic and zippered pocket, Gourdy's Apple Cider Spice Blend and a finisher's medal shipped to your door around Halloween, plus a virtual race bib and finisher's badge. You can also choose to add on the Tough Pumpkin option and carry a pumpkin during your run to make it more challenging. It's just a couple extra bucks for some extra bragging rights and an exclusive Tough Pumpkin finisher medal.
Find out more at GourdysPumpkinRun.com
For the Ones That Will Get There When They Get There
Sloth Running Team 5K/10K Challenge
Date: No deadline to complete, but must register by Oct. 31
If you're looking for a laid-back "run," this one is just the right pace. Choose from either a 5K or a 10K, put on your official Sloth Running Team Champion shirt and walk, jog or run your 3.1 or 6.2 miles anywhere (including a treadmill) and at any time before the deadline. You'll also get a race bib and a finisher medal to show off, and a portion of your entry fee is automatically donated to Stand Up to Cancer.
For the Thankful
America's Turkey Trot
Date: Nov. 23 - 26, 2020
Distance: Whatever you choose
If you're looking to put in a little work to earn your Thanksgiving dinner, this pre-feast fun run is a great choice for the whole family. You pick whatever distance you want to complete and then walk, jog or run it in one session leading up to Turkey Day. Your entry fee gets you an official America's Turkey Trot full-zip jacket, a pumpkin pie-inspired finisher's medal and a branded beanie. You can also choose to upgrade to score a Turkey Trot blanket and pet collar, too. Just be aware that race packets begin shipping on Nov. 5 so you'll want to sign up before then to make sure you get your stuff in time.

What You Need for Virtual Runs
No matter which race (or races) you choose to run virtually, there are a few things that you may need to make it as enjoyable as possible. First off, you'll need to track your activity, preferably with a fitness tracker that's compatible with a wide range of running and race apps. This simple, mid-range Fitbit makes for a reliable choice.
You'll also want to make sure you have comfortable gear, including the proper athletic socks and comfortable running shoes.
Also, if you're heading out for a long-distance run, it's crucial to keep in mind that you won't be afforded all the usual amenities along the way, such as water stations and emergency relief, if needed. So be sure to let someone know your route ahead of time or, even better, have them follow along in a car to keep tabs on you. You could also invite some pals to set up checkpoints along your route to cheer you on and provide you with some much needed hydration, energy gels and whatever else you need to keep you going towards your goal.

The South Wairarapa District Council manages urban parks and rural reserves. Council staff are responsible for the day to day management of the parks and reserves. Community Boards and community groups also help establish work priorities for those parks and reserves within approved budgets.
There are management plans in place that set out how the parks and reserves are administered. Some reserves also have development plans (sometimes known as landscape or concept plans) which set out the specific works and improvements that have been agreed for that park over the next two to five years as resources allow.
If you want to know more about a particular park or reserve, have a look at the available Management and Development Plans below, email Council or ring 06 306 9611.
You can designate the road reserve area in front of your property as a 'No spray" area. This means that you have committed to maintain this area yourself. Once we receive your request, we will remove the area from our weed spraying programme.


Baumstein, an athlete from Orlando, Florida, had been waiting for weeks to set out in her custom-designed rowboat from Choshi, a port east of Tokyo, headed for San Francisco. She finally departed on Sunday, and hopes to finish the 6,000-mile (9,600-kilometer) journey by late September and become the first woman to row solo across the Pacific.
Only three other rowboats have made the journey and no woman has ever done the journey alone.
Having already rowed the Atlantic to the Caribbean, the 29-year-old has a pretty clear idea of what all those weeks at sea will be like.
"The stars are incredible. They're my favorite thing," she said in an interview by Skype from her boat before her departure.
"It's very cool to see wildlife, but to watch the passing of the stars, because I row all night if it's good weather. To see the complete Milky Way," she said.
It's the paradox of modern-day adventuring that with new, extra-lightweight materials, solar panels and high-tech telecommunications, explorers and other extreme athletes can skate ever closer to survival's edge, under skeins of stars most of us rarely see.
Baumstein's rowboat, the "Icha," short for an Okinawan phrase meaning "once we meet we're family," is a lime-green, 23-foot (7-meter) -long vessel that weighs less than 660 pounds (300 kilograms). It has no motor or sail.
When the weather allows, she plans to row 14-16 hours a day, breaking her sleep to check her location — she hopes to stay within the 100 kilometer (62 mile) -wide Kuroshio current that arcs across the Pacific, at least for the first part of the journey.
Baumstein rowed competitively in high school and at the University of Wisconsin but was sidelined by a bad car accident. After recovering, she joined three men in rowing the mid-Atlantic from the Canary Islands to Barbados in January 2012. She has kayaked from Washington state to Alaska, stand-up paddle-boarded across the Bering Strait and bicycled 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) from the Mexican border to Seattle.
"I'm kind of a sticker," she said. "I'm very loyal to the things I start doing. I'm not one to pick up something and then quit very easily. "
Andrew Cull, founder of Remote Medical International, which provides medical training and equipment to hard-to-reach places, says he believes she has the physical, emotional and mental strength to pull off this adventure despite the potentially perilous weather and conditions of the North Pacific.
"What's gotten her across oceans and to this point is sheer drive and willpower," said Cull, who is a sponsor and trained Baumstein for the paddleboard feat.
But even without extreme weather, Baumstein knows to expect plenty of hardship. The worst, she says, are moonless nights when she can't tell where the waves are coming from or when they will smash into her.
"It's really frustrating because you have waves coming at you from every direction and you can't anticipate by seeing them. So your oars are popping around and hitting your body. You end up getting soaked a lot and hurt more often," she said.
Whatever the conditions, she will be wet, she knows. "Constantly wet. Different versions of sticky wet from salt, with no control over it," Baumstein said. "A 60 degree F (15 C) splash at least 30 times a day. Sometimes the waves can knock the wind out of you. They're so hard they throw me out of the seat."
"That really is what's at play out there. Time. It either feels like it's going incredibly slowly — those are the hard days — or it goes quickly. It changes every time you're rowing. It changes minute-to-minute," she said.
"Both fair weather times, really perfect rowing, and the feeling of survival in bad weather, those are the two things that drive me to do this stuff," she said. "It feels like I'm living to my fullest ability."
