This past week I had the opportunity to visit Yellowstone National Park in the winter. I have wanted to photograph this special place in winter conditions but never had the chance. Well my wishes came true this week and I was given the opportunity to co-lead a Yellowstone Winter workshop with three other great instructors. Being that is was my first time in the park I was a novice and was prepared to make some mistakes. I believe each park has its own special qualities that capture the essence of it. Needless to say, I learned so much from this past workshop. Not only from the other instructors but the students as well. So if I went back I would do a few things different that will help other photographers visiting Yellowstone in the winter. The following are some helpful hints if you decide to photograph this majestic place in the winter.
Firstly, bring all your lenses from widest to telephoto. You will need a lens capable of at least 300mm. I only brought a 70- 200mm L and I found out quick that was not nearly enough. I was constantly finding scenes that were stunning but did not have the lens to capture it. If you have a 100-400L lens that should appropriate for most scenes in the park. Whether you are shooting wildlife or landscapes I found that I was restricted to where I could shoot from because of the snow. In past situations I would move closer to the subject but when you are photographing with others this is not something that can be afforded to you. When getting around in Yellowstone during winter conditions park access is restricted to snowmobiles and snow cats. During our time in the workshop the group was divided into two snow cats. To book snow cats you can do that in West Yellowstone where we made it our home base. In West Yellowstone you can find adequate accommodations and food as well.
Secondly, I would have held my camera in my hand while in the snow cat. Many chances to capture wildlife happened in a split second and by the time you reach for your camera it was too late. You have to be open to the idea of hand holding your camera and shooting through the snow cat windows (they keep the windows very clean) as this is your only opportunity in many cases. I have always been a tripod kind of person, so I had to adjust to new circumstances. This included shutter speeds and aperture which are completely different if you are hand holding. The other problem is the snow cat does not stop every time you see something you would like to shoot. The snow cat only makes stops where the majority of the photographers in the vehicle would like to stop. The emphasis was primarily on wildlife in the park.
Thirdly, I did not bring a wide enough range of clothing with me on the trip. The mornings were very cold, well below zero but the afternoons really warmed up. I found I brought enough cold apparel but not enough clothes for warmer weather, which was also breathable. Especially when the snow cat would stop for long periods of time. You would get cold exiting the snow cat but as soon as you moved around you would sweat immediately. I needed some clothes that adapted to all the particular situations. For example, clothes that were not just breathable but also have zippers down the side making it easier for quick access depending on the situation. Also make sure to bring gloves that can provide access to your camera controls, as you are not going to be taking your gloves off. Many students did not have this option and unfortunately ended up back in the snow cat due to the cold conditions.
Lastly, the most important thing I would do different is time my visit to coincide with better photography weather. As I was involved in co-leading a workshop I did not have this option. Timing the weather conditions is very hard to do in this park but can be done. If you can see that the weather calls for favorable conditions in the park a few days ahead make the trip, as it will be definitely be worth it. If possible fly in to either Idaho Falls airport or Jackson Hole airport; both airports are within a few hours of the park. The best place to make accommodations is West Yellowstone. Prices are reasonable for accommodations and transportation. Reservations can be made here for transportation into the park. When I visited this past week the conditions in terms of snow were not ideal. If I traveled by myself I would have waited it out in West Yellowstone before making the trip inside the park. There is a high probability of snow most days in the winter so waiting it out should not take too many days.
In conclusion, each photographer will have a set of ideals that are important to him or her when photographing in Yellowstone during winter season. From my experience, these simple tips can go a long way to improving your success in the park.

Thanks Rishi.. I appreciate that.. I can't wait to do some more shooting with you in September ! If you any questions or images you would like me to look at before just let me know ..
Thanks Jean for taking the time to read the blog.


Being able to retire with money, health & general hapiness is everyone's aspiration – but for many of us this might not happen. Let us look at how our modern lifestyle influences our health.
The lifestyle many of us live today is not ideal. We are very busy, don't have time to cook, or even eat properly. We don't drink enough of water. Instead, we eat food with a lot of calories, too much sugar and fat and low in nutrients. This makes us overfed but ||undernourished. We experience much more stress than our grandparents did.
People don't exercise enough. They sit most of the time: both during their work and during their spare time.
There are some Key facts from the World Health Organization. Worldwide obesity has more than doubled since 1980. In 2008, more than 1.4 billion adults, 20 and older, were overweight. Of these over 200 million men and nearly 300 million women were obese. More than 40 million children under the age of five were overweight in 2010. 65% of the world's population live in countries where overweight and obesity kills more people than starvation or malnutrition. Obesity is preventable.
Five big killers in UK are heart disease, stroke, cancer, lung and liver disease. All of them are preventable.


A couple of us started getting nagged by our computers about running out of disk space. We're both running Mac High Sierra; 15% free disk space is required, which on our 500 GB ssd drives is 75 gig.
After cleaning off files and running clean-up utilities (lost my browser history; I'm sure that was a space hog <eye roll>), I still had only about 50 gig free. Then I found a huge Photos library on each machine—over 300 gig each.
No biggie. I threw money at it by buying a couple 4 TB external drives and started copying the files over. Which would work until like 50 gig from the end or something like that and then quit, complaining about running out of application memory. With no apps running but Finder.
I even tried using Terminal to copy the files. I don't know why I thought it might work—I was opening an additional app. Turns it's wonderfully easy to copy files in Terminal: type cp at the prompt then drag the file into the window then drag the destination into the window and hit Return.
But it didn't work. I'm not really sure why.
The google machine told me that High Sierra has a bug in the copy huge file process. But I have an older computer running Sierra with lots of disk space. So I ran an ethernet cable between the two computers and tried a basic Finder copy from one to the other.
I realized I'd initiated the copy from the "wrong" computer and stopped the process to initiate it from the other computer. I ran Disk Utility on my old computer hard drive just to play it safe and it found an unrepairable defect. Even in Recovery mode, it was unrepairable. And the machine wouldn't reboot from Recovery mode.
I <3 Macintosh computers. I just had to boot into Recovery mode again (Cmd-R on bootup, until you see the Apple). Used Disk Utilities to erase the hard drive, then reinstalled the system.
Now I really have space on that hard drive.
This time I got smart and used FTP to move the huge Photos library over to my Sierra computer. I set up the High Sierra machine with the huge Photos library as an FTP server: Just go into System Preferences, Sharing, and turn on Remote Login. You might need to go to Users and Groups to add the user who will remotely log in.
I used wireless networking (so that the High Sierra machine was still in touch with the world) and it took forever, but it worked. I was able to FTP the huge Photos libraries over to the Sierra machine and then out to external drives from there.
The High Sierra machine was barely affected by the FTP get going on, at least for basic email/web surfing use. The Sierra machine chugged away.
After I deleted the huge Photos library from my hard drive, I ran Disk Utilities, which ended by saying I had like 50 gig free. What?! One of its pieces of information was that there was 350-plus gig free (300-some purgeable).
I brought up About this Mac, the Storage tab, and saw it almost full then sort of sparkle, eventually ending up with 350-plus gig free. Success!
Neither High Sierra computer complains about low disk space.

Q: In this table structure, how to search for articles by field values? Among the joomla tables there are these three tables, content that stores the articles, fields that stores the definition of custom fields and fields_values that stores the values assigned to these custom fields in articles.
Here the table definitions with some of their fields
content
-------------
  id
  title

fields
-------------
  id
  title
  name

fields_values
-------------
  field_id <-- field_id refer to content id
  item_id
  value

I need to search content records for the values in field_values, but I don't know how to do it
For convenience I created this sqlfiddle
The sqlfiddle with the value target
Given the sqlfiddle sample data I need to search for the articles (content records) where any of the fields have the value target
The expected results would be the article with id 1 because in field1 of article 1 has the value target and the article with id 3 because in field2 of article 3 has the value target
I appreciate your advice...

A: You need to join fields table to fields_values table using field_id and join this joint table to content using fields_values.item_id.
Then in where clause you can give values for fields.title and field_values.value to get columns from content table.
There will be duplicates from content table. So you can select with distinct or you can group by in content table:
SELECT DISTINCT c.id, c.title FROM fields f
  join fields_values v on f.id=v.field_id
  join content c on c.id=v.item_id
  WHERE f.title='{field_title}' and v.value='{value}'

Although not a part of question. Without proper indexing this schema will not scale very well with big data. I suggest to optimize indexing on all tables, especially index columns.

Mackay Air Traffic Control Tower turns 40
Airservices Mackay Air Traffic Control Tower last week marked 40 years of providing safe and efficient air traffic control services in the region.
The tower, which opened on 6 July 1972 by the Civil Aviation Authority, is one of 28 control towers around the country now operated by Airservices Australia, the nation's air navigation services provider.
Airservices Mackay and Hamilton Island Tower Supervisor, Allan Maddison, has worked in Mackay Tower for 21 years. During that time there have been some significant changes in the technology, but Allan still remembers how excited the controllers were when they got their first piece of technology – a fax machine.
"We thought that was the greatest, but compared to what we have now – four computers, a surveillance feed, and two video cameras covering the apron and wider airport, it was really nothing," said Allan.
"On the down side we no longer have the best view in town as high-rise buildings have made their way into Mackay – although our panoramic views are still spectacular."
The views come courtesy of special glass which was imported from Belgium – each pane is 2.5 centimetres thick and weighs 272 kilograms.
The octagon tower was also planned to ensure pillars between the glass did not block their view of the runway and to provide a clear line of sight for air traffic controllers.
Along with improved technology, the last 40 years has also seen changes to the number of airports in the region and the aircraft used.
In the 1970s Mackay was one of the busiest regional airports in the country with all the Whitsunday tourism traffic passing through – Hamilton Island Airport did not exist and Proserpine was just a minor airfield.
The airport also hosts the latest generation of modern aircraft, including Embraer E-Jets and Airbus A320s, along with a new generation of turbo-props like the Bombardier Q400, as they whisk people all over the state quietly and more efficiently than ever.

So I've been reading quite a bit of GM Hopkins lately – not the poetry (which I've known and read chunks of off and on for years now) but sermons and religious prose, a volume given to me ages back by a then-housemate. While there are flashes of the same brilliant intensity as the best of the poems, and some startlingly committed and thorough scholastic-style theology, much of it is all too much what might be expected of a late nineteenth-century Catholic priest. So, for instance, in his notes on the Ignatian Exercises (Hopkins was a Jesuit, remember, so these were of essential spiritual importance), he assumes, not admittedly an actually literal physical Hell with real oxygen-burning flames, but something producing near as makes no difference the same experiences by acting on disembodied spirits, so that imagining being burnt, choked with sulphur, etc. gives the person doing the exercise a worthwhile idea of the nature of hell.
Now to me, insofar as I would talk about Hell (I think the label is far from helpful, but there isn't a totally convenient replacement), it is not a place of direct punishment as such, far less of gratuitous torture by evil spirits somehow trapped yet free to wander the earth and spit-roast the dead. It is rather a place of the punishment very directly fitting the crime, if crime you want to call it – if your consistent choice has been to seek to get away from God, to refuse spiritual good, to insist on standing on your own two feet and accepting no grace, then ultimately you will have your wish, to be isolated from God, fulfilled in a way it never can be in this physical reality where the rains rain on the just and the unjust. But to be isolated from God is to be isolated from the source of all joy, all good things and all positivity, and so this is not active torture or punishment but still the utmost form of negative suffering, absence, that can exist.
And as I sat, feeling depressed to the tips of my ears, in my psychotherapy session today, the thought struck me: if that is what I think Hell is like, then isn't the worst of my current state – miserable, lonely, taking no delight in anything, spiritually dried out, perceiving the complete absence of God whatever my belief in his omnipresence, striving towards Him intermittently and without hope – is that not an awful lot like that vision of Hell? Are these times in fact a sort of prevision of what the true and thorough absence of God would feel like?
And if so, of course, what use would I make of them? or, perhaps, what might they be 'for' (in so far as suffering is 'for' anything)? Ignatius commands the imagining of Hell that the imaginer may more enthusiastically run to God away from it. Should fear of the recurrence of these worst depths lead me to renewed searching for the functioning spirituality that has somehow parted ways with me, renewed religious devotion? Or should it just lead me to try and work harder with my therapist?
Now the first one is potentially really tricky for me. Because that all need and can be saved is fine. (I probably wouldn't actually use the term 'saved', but I'll run with it for now.) But – I trust that I'm saved. I believe that I'm saved. If I was pushed ultimately to a yes/no decision, I would say yes, I'm saved. But 'know' isn't really the word for my experience. There isn't much blessed assurance about this. Wesley wrote about becoming certain that he did trust Christ for his salvation and that trust was not in vain. I wouldn't say that's in experience I currently have.
But where does that leave me? Faith (Hebrews 11:1) is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. We Christians (2 Corinthians 5:7) live by faith and not by sight. And I think it's legitimate to take sight in those passages as extending not merely to all the physical senses but to all sensation. So I have to go back to Wesley and reflect: All men can be saved. The possibility exists for all people to come to union with God; apparently the statement is in part a riposte to double predestination. But that doesn't mean all people will be saved. It's not the same as universalism. And perhaps the only way to make sense of all being able to know they are saved is to treat it the same way only more so. It is possible all will know they are saved. But most will not, will not be given that emotional inner conviction of God's welcome, any more than most will have the apparently sensual or para-sensual experience of God like what Saul/Paul had on the Damascus road. Maybe, if the general call is to live by faith, it's not even desirable that most should have that experience. 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.' (John 20:29). Either way, otherwise my persistence in faith without sensation, or at least with sensation substantially in the past, becomes a sign of inadequate spirituality rather than of loyalty. And that seems too devastating to contemplate.
What about doing all the good I can? Well, this comes down to human weakness. If you miss out the last line about carrying on as long as ever you can, then this would lead me to total burnout in about twelve months. I say that with total assurance because I've more or less tried it, with reservations and imperfect will, and ended up chronically mentally ill for my pains. To go all out would burn out very quickly.
That last line points to needing much greater subtlety than the impressive homiletic rhetoric of the sermon excerpt would suggest at first hearing. I am sure that God joyfully accepts all offerings of work to good ends earnestly made. But if we are serious about loving Him with our whole being (Mark 12:30, Deuteronomy 6:5, etc.), then we surely have to plan to be effective. And I am weak, in a very straightforward medical sense of the term though including mental and emotional strength as well as physical. It seems to me that I am obliged to do only the good that I can do today without exhausting myself so much that I am capable of no good tomorrow. Unless I am going to plan to take tomorrow off, which effectively amounts to doing no good tomorrow so that I can do more good today than I can sustain longer-term. And so on.
Unfortunately, this requires two great things: prioritisation of doing one good over another, and ability to rightly estimate one's own capacity. As to the second, it is clearly unChristian to do less good than one is capable of (we're right back at the Wesley quote); but it's counterproductive to try and do more, that will only end up with collapse, having to withdraw from what you've committed to, being incapacitated from doing good at all. The first one perhaps requires more discussion. It is very common to come across the idea that each Christian has one particular vocation, and that this once discerned it is God's will that we pursue that to, if necessary, the exclusion of all other good-doing (though obviously not to the point of sin). Now firstly I don't think there's any evidence for this. There are Scripture texts which might lean towards it but I think they only actually teach that we should do what we able and equipped to do well with commitment, rather than deliberately seeking to exercise a ministry for which we are basically unsuited or just ill-positioned for. Secondly, I am quite sure that we are never supposed to ignore a need we might easily fill, a good we might easily do, because 'that's not my calling' – certainly not if we won't significantly interfere with our major work by doing it and/or if no-one else is likely to do it for us. Finally, even ignoring the question of exclusivity, this idea relies on experiencing a fairly clear 'call'. I want to go on record as saying I have experienced none such. My significant abilities – presumably topping that list are music and a way with language and literature – have reliably stumbled, faltered and produced nothing of overwhelming significance or even significant sustainability when used in directly divine service. My perhaps one really committed service of my neighbour – Street Pastoring – I had to pull out of because it just fitted too poorly with my frail health.
So not only must I estimate my own powers (or, perhaps more difficult still, my own powers and the grace the Spirit will give me) in order to judge how much I can do, I must also decide which things to prefer without any evident pattern to follow or rank of better to less good. Because there will always be more need than any of us can fill. A good thing, then, all in all, that in all Christianity doing good is a response to being approved by God rather than a method of earning His approval.


Planet in Focus is Canada's leading not-for-profit environmental media arts organization. Now in our 19th year our mandate is to produce cultural events that showcase engaging and artistic films that question, explore, and tell stories about the world in which we live. We use film as a catalyst for public awareness, discussion and engagement on a broad range of environmental issues. Our goal is to enlighten, engage and entertain audiences of all backgrounds – through film.
The Planet in Focus Foundation supports the charitable activities of the Planet in Focus: International Environmental Film & Video Festival. Planet in Focus screens and promotes outstanding and compelling films and videos (documentaries, dramas, experimental and animation) covering a broad range of environmental themes by Canadian and International filmmakers. We aim to promote the use of film and video as catalysts for environmental awareness, discussion, and engagement on the ecological and social health of the planet. The Festival also hosts panel discussions, workshops, a school touring program and a children's program.
We have a proven track record delivering environmental film programming and engagement activities to schools/students reaching 80,000 students to date across Canada. Piloted in 2014, the Eco Film Lab teaches elementary and secondary teachers the basics of filmmaking and they go back to their classrooms to work with their students who create their own short environmental films. This year we are in Toronto, York Region and Ottawa.
New: In the Spring of 2017 Planet in Focus headed North to Attawapiskat where participating youth completeed a 2 weeks long, hands-on filmmaking training to tell their own eco stories about issues in the Attawapiskat community- inadequate housing, fresh water, pollution, mining, and cost of living. Through the creative process they shared stories, increased understanding and appreciation for one another, engaged in an empowering artistic practice, and used film as an advocacy tool.

Jan Timman celebrates 70th birthday
by André Schulz
12/14/2021 – From the 1970s to the 1990s Jan Timman, born in Amsterdam on 14 December 1951, was one of the world's best players. He qualified several times for the candidates and in 1993 he became FIDE Vice World Champion. Timman is also a renowned study composer and a prolific and excellent writer. Today, the Dutch Grandmaster celebrates his 70th birthday.

Jan Timman: A remarkable chess career
At the age of eight, Timman learned to play chess from his father Reinier Timman, a mathematician. The father owned a sizeable chess library that included a lot of old chess books, written before World War II. Timman's first ambition was to beat his older brother Ton (1948-2016). After Jan managed to do so regularly, Ton no longer wanted to play against his younger brother and Jan enrolled in a chess club. At the age of twelve, Timman played and drew against former World Champion Max Euwe in a simul.
Timman had a special relationship to Euwe. Euwe was the mathematics teacher of Timman's mother and the families knew each other well. When Timman's great chess talent became apparent, Euwe found backers who established a "Timman Committee" to give Timman the financial backing to eventually become a professional chess player.
Timman's first coach was IM Hans Bouwmeester. The two trained every Wednesday afternoon, the only afternoon when there was no school. Bouwmeester loved the games of Botvinnik and Smylov, and Botvinnik also became a chess ideal for Timman.
As a 15-year-old, Timman first attracted international attention when he finished third at the U20 World Championship in Jerusalem 1967. In 1970 Timman decided to become a chess professional and one year later, in 1971, he became an International Master. Another three years later, in 1974, Timman became a Grandmaster.

Between 1974 and 1996 Timman won the Dutch National Championship nine times. He regularly and with great success took part in international tournaments and won in Hastings 1973/74, Amsterdam 1978, Nikšić 1978, Amsterdam 1981, Las Palmas 1981, Wijk aan Zee 1981, Mar del Plata 1982, Bugojno 1984, Bugojno 1984, Wijk aan Zee 1985, Amsterdam 1985, Tilburg 1987, Linares 1988, Amsterdam 1989, Hoogeveen 1999 and Malmö/Copenhagen 2005 to name just a few.
In 1979, played his first Interzonal in Rio de Janeiro but narrowly missed the qualification for the Candidates. The first three qualified for the Candidates, but Timman finished fourth. Three years later, in the next cycle, he again failed to qualify for the Candidates, but in 1985 he won the Interzonal Tournament and became a Candidate but lost against Artur Jussupow in the quarterfinals of the Candidate Matches.
In 1987 Timman won the Interzonal in Tilburg and qualified again for the Candidates. But after defeating Valery Salov, Lajos Portisch and Jonathan Speelman, Timman lost in 990 in the finals of the Candidates against Karpov.
In the next cycle Timman won his Candidate Matches against Robert Hübner, Viktor Korchnoi and Artur Jussupow but then lost the Candidates Final, this time against Nigel Short.
But when Kasparov and Short decided to play their 1993 World Championship match outside of FIDE, Timman had a chance to play for the FIDE title, as FIDE organised a substitute World Championship match between Timman and Karpov. However, here Timman lost to Karpov again.
In January 1982 Timman was the world's official number two, behind World Champion Karpov. However, Timman reached his Elo-peak in 1990 when he had a rating of 2680.
Apart from his impressive career as a player, Timman was and is also active as a writer and journalist. He is editor of the New in Chess magazine and has written a number of successful and critically acclaimed books. On top of that, Timman is also a prolific and renowned study composer.
Timman loves music and literature, especially the Russian classics such as Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy. He also enjoys reading the works of Borges and Kafka.
Timman counts his victory over Karpov in the 1982 Mar del Plata tournament as one of his best games.

CBM #202 Special: Jan Timman
7/9/2021 – The "Special" of the new ChessBase Magazine #202 is dedicated to Jan Timman, the Dutch legend who will celebrate his 70th birthday this year. "My favourite Timman game" features an exquisite selection of a total of 25 victories annotated by our authors, containing some very personal notes: "... Timman appeared to incorporate a mixture of the hippie, the free spirit and the chess artist, and despite that was world class over the board" (Martin Breutigam). David Navara, Adhiban Baskaran, Yannick Pelletier, Krishnan Sasikiran and many others have contributed to the "Special" of this issue. Today, we present you Igor Stohl's analysis of the game Nigel Short - Jan Timman from Linares 1992. Enjoy!
6/4/2021 – In December, on the 14th to be specific, Dutch grandmaster Jan Timman turns seventy. He was one of the world's leading players from the late 1970s to the early 1990s. He is also a prolific study composer. So it is appropriate that a Study Composition Tourney is being staged in his honour. Awards will be distributed on his birthday. For this announcement Jan has selected five of his favourite studies, composed by him, for you to solve.

I am still feeling astonished that i saw Timman in person on a barbecue dinner in Antwerp...after a blitz chess tournament around 2010 or 2011 where i as a beginner joined, but lost many games. I had won a game against an IM of belgium who was playing blind with three chess games at the same time happening.
After the tournament, me and my friend kept talking to the organiser at the end (we felt like tourists, really) and he invited us all to the after party dinner...With all the GM's having a conversation of chess. We enjoyed the free sausages and the free wine ;) and pretented to be chess players lol.

He has a wonderful feeling for the beauti of chess and got a very fine personality, is a top chess player and writer. The man has everything. Happy birthday and cheers!

Oddly, there seems to be no Wikipedia .org webpage dedicated to the 1993 FIDE World Chess Championship title match between Karpov and Timman.
FeatiSoupom 12/16/2021 02:20
Happy birthday, Jan Timman. I remember you in Montreal playing against other top players (Karpov, Portisch, Tal, etc.) in 1979. You were one of the best !
lajosarpad 12/15/2021 12:20
Happy birthday, Jan Timman. You are one of the best players of all time. "But after defeating Valery Salov, Lajos Portisch and Jonathan Speelman, Timman lost in 990 in the finals of the Candidates against Karpov." That was a loong time ago :)

Footage has emerged of Ferrari mechanics coming to Alexander Albon's rescue after his Toro Rosso's front brakes caught fire while waiting to be weighed at the end of Practice 2.
The onboard video shows Sebastian Vettel spotting smoke that started to appear from Albon's overheating brakes, calling his Ferrari mechanics to extinguish the Thai's brake discs quickly.
Ferrari mechanics swiftly kept the emerging flames under control with their own cooling equipment before Toro Rosso mechanics arrived to maintain the brakes further.
Formula 1 brakes can reach temperatures of almost 1000 degrees Celsius at racing speeds. The carbon discs can only be cooled down if the car is moving through the air.
While an F1 car is stationary, brake discs are required to be maintained by 'brake coolers' which blow air directly into the brake ducts.
Practice 3 starts at 1300 AEST.


The Mariners won't be going young at catcher anytime soon. Today they reached an agreement with backstop Miguel Olivo on a two-year, $7MM deal, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times notes, "Adam Moore's stock with this team appears to have taken a hit." As you might expect, Olivo has been told he's the No. 1 catcher.
Olivo, 32, hit .269/.315/.449 with 14 home runs in 427 plate appearances for the Rockies this year. He caught 935 innings, throwing out 42% of attempted basestealers. Olivo previously played for the Mariners in parts of the '04 and '05 seasons after coming over from the White Sox in the Freddy Garcia trade. This is a nice contract for Olivo, who is represented by Martin Arburua. He's the fifth catcher to score a multiyear deal this winter.
The Rockies shipped Olivo to the Blue Jays in November, who declined his mutual option at the price of $500K and later offered him arbitration. They'll now get a supplementary draft pick for their troubles.

By sunset (~9:00 pm) on the day of our arrival, as seen from the north side of our peninsula, the cottagers enjoying a holiday Monday have departed, and all is peace and quiet. They pay an arm and a leg for their views. We got ours for $25 a day.


Oh snap! Raven-Symone dropped a major truth bomb to the ladies on The View on Monday, Sept. 28.
While the co-hosts were discussing the pressure some women feel to lose their baby weight after giving birth, the actress revealed her own body-shaming struggles.
Prior to starring on the show, the newest co-host of The View lost weight in real life, which is why she subsequently had to wear a fat suit, she explained. She also shared that her decision to lose weight came after harsh remarks she'd often get.
The former Disney Channel star also joked about how different it is for women and their bodies now in the entertainment industry.

A Murdochized internet?
Episode 402 of the Cyberlaw Podcast
Stewart Baker | 4.11.2022 8:18 PM
The theme of this episode of the Cyberlaw Podcast is, "Be careful what you wish for." The wish for techlash regulation is still growing around the world. Mark MacCarthy takes us through a week's worth of regulatory enthusiasm. Canada is planning to force Google and Facebook to pay Canadian news media for links. It sounds simple, but arriving at the right price – and the right recipients — will require a hefty dose of discretionary government intervention. Meanwhile, South Korea's effort to regulate Google's Android app store policies, which also sounds like a simple undertaking, is quickly devolving into an elaborate effort at price regulation. The movement continues, Mark notes, even in China, which once seemed to be moderating its hostility to tech platforms; yet the Chinese government just announced algorithm compliance audits for TenCent and ByteDance.
Nobody is weeping for Big Tech, but anybody who thinks this kind of thing will really hurt the tech giants has never studied the history of AT&T – or of Rupert Murdoch for that matter. Incumbent tech companies have the resources to protect themselves from undue regulatory burdens – and to make sure competitors will be crushed by them. The one missing chapter in a story of gradual mutual accommodation between Big Tech and Big Government, I argue, is a Rupert Murdoch figure – someone who will use his platform unabashedly to curry favor not from the left but from the right. It's an unfilled niche, and a profitable one: even a moderately conservative Big Tech company is likely to find all the close regulatory calls being made in its favor as soon as the GOP takes power. If you think that's unlikely, you missed the last week of tech news. Elon Musk, whose entire business empire is built on government spending, is already toying with occupying a Silicon Valley version of the Rupert Murdoch niche. His acquisition of nearly 10% of Twitter is an opening gambit that is likely to make him a conservative(ish) antidote to Silicon Valley's political monoculture. Recent complaints that the internet is becoming politically splintered are wildly off the mark today, but they may yet come true.
Nick Weaver brings us back to earth with a review of the FBI's successful (for now) takedown of the Cyclops Blink botnet – a Russian cyber weapon that was disabled before it could be fired. Nick reminds us that the operation was only made possible by a change in search and seizure procedures that the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and friends condemned as outrageous just a decade ago. In addition, he reports, Western law enforcement last week broke the Hydra dark market. In more good news, Nick takes us through the ways in which bitcoin's traceability has enabled authorities to bust child sex rings around the globe.
Nick also brings us This Week in Bad News for Surveillance Software: FinFisher is bankrupt. The EU is investigating Israeli surveillance software on its ministers' phones; and Google has banned apps that use particularly intrusive data collection tools, the latter having been outed by Nick's colleagues at the International Computer Science Institute.
Finally, Europe is building a vast network to do face recognition across the continent. I celebrate the likely defeat of ideologues who've been trying to toxify face recognition for years. And I note that one of my last campaigns at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was a series of international agreements that lock European law enforcement into sharing of such data with the United States. Defending those agreements, of course, should be a high priority for the State Department's on-again off-again (and now on again) cyber bureau.

Shoaib Malik opens up on seeing himself fit after his blazing knock against Scotland
2021 t20 world cup Cricket Hindi News PAK vs SCO pakistan cricket team sco vs pak shoaib malik t20 world cup T20 World Cup 2021 t20wc
Leave a Comment on Shoaib Malik opens up on seeing himself fit after his blazing knock against Scotland
Image Source : GETTY
Shoaib Malik is 39 years old but is still on the field and the veteran Pakistan batsman said that his international career has dragged on for so long because of his passion for fitness. Malik has been playing international cricket since last century. Some of his teammates were not even born then, but he is considered among the fittest players in the Pakistani team and has the ability to win matches on his own.
Malik showed his skills again in the ICC T20 World Cup on Sunday by scoring 54 off 18 balls against Scotland as Pakistan registered a 72-run win. "To be honest, when I look in the mirror, the passion to keep myself fit and most importantly, I am still enjoying cricket today. It helps," Malik said at a post-match press conference. And in the end the team also benefits from it."
"I believe if you want to stay fit, you have to practice every day and that's what I am doing. I can't say for sure if I will play for another year or two. There is an important competition going on now," he said. And I'm not thinking about it."
Pakistan topped Group 2 of Super 12 and will face Australia in the semi-finals on Thursday. Malik, who scored his first half-century in an ICC event since the 2009 ICC Champions Trophy, said, "Of course we have seen Australia, the way they are playing. They are playing really good cricket. We are also playing well." But it will definitely be a tough challenge for both the teams."
"There are still a few days left in the semi-finals so we will work out a strategy for it," he said. Malik was not part of Pakistan's initial 15-man squad for the T20 World Cup but was included in the squad after Sohaib Maqsood was ruled out due to injury.
IND v NAM, T20 World Cup: Team India would like to end the T20 World Cup campaign with a win against Namibia
"When the first team was announced, I was playing in the Caribbean Premier League. My name was not in the team. Of course I felt bad. I was very disappointed. I have seen a lot of teams that didn't have my name, But it hurts when you are not part of the World Cup squad."

Beiersdorf has postponed a €2 million (£1.6 million) European below-the-line review, after the Marketing Agencies Association called for agencies to boycott the process because of how it was being run.
More than 50 agencies were invited to a post-RFI meeting on Thursday 14 August.
Around 20 agencies travelled to Birmingham to attend the morning session in person, with up to ten more phoning into the meeting. A comparable number of agencies were involved in a second briefing in the afternoon.
In a break from standard practice, which tends to involve around ten agencies at a similar stage in the process, all the agencies were then invited to submit creative, strategic and commercial pitches online.
Many industry bodies, including the MAA and IPA have worked to improve the way pitches are handled. The MAA launched a pitch watchdog last year, which allows agencies to confidentially and/or anonymously provide detail of bad practice.
Of the agencies involved in this process, 34 spoke to the MAA.
Following feedback from the MAA and the agencies involved in the review, Beiersdorf has now decided to put it on hold and its North European marketing and procurement teams are working with the MAA to improve its search method.
Scott Knox, the managing director of the MAA, said: "Running a selection process in this way is ridiculously wasteful and hugely damaging to the industry. I expect more from a corporation like Beiersdorf and have an open door policy to assisting them in running a best-practice process that will deliver the right results."
Beiersdorf had not responded to request for comment on the postponement prior to publication.

DIY genetic testing company 23andMe providing health data again
by David Goldman @DavidGoldmanCNN October 22, 2015: 7:15 AM ET
23andMe: FDA ruling had huge impact
You can once again spit in a cup, put it in the mail and learn about your genetic health.
Genetic sequencing company 23andMe has received FDA approval to provide customers with certain health information derived from their genetic profiles. In 2013, the FDA ordered 23andMe to stop issuing health guidance to customers, saying the company could not prove its test results were not misleading or inaccurate.
On Wednesday, 23andMe announced that it has received FDA clearance to again offer some health results to customers. It will tell customers whether they are carriers of certain disease-causing genes, which could pass on to their children.
But the test results will be more limited than they were in the past -- and the price tag has doubled to $199. 23andMe still will not be able to provide information to customers about potential risks to their health.
Before the FDA sent a cease-and-desist letter to 23andMe two years ago, the company would tell customers whether they were likely to suffer from certain diseases later on in life, including breast cancer.
"Strike back before cancer has a chance to strike," the California-based company had said at the time on its website.
But regulators warned of the potential health consequences for customers whose results might be inaccurate. Women whose results indicate a risk for breast cancer, for example, could take actions that would lead to unnecessary treatments.
23andMe is still attempting to gain FDA approval for health risk information, but the company didn't provide a timeline for when that might happen.
Anne Wojicki co-founded the company in 2006. She was married to Google (GOOGL) co-founder Sergey Brin at the time, and the search giant invested millions of dollars. The couple has since divorced.
Over the past two years, 23andMe continued to operate, but it only provided ancestral information. For example, you could see how much of your makeup consisted of Neanderthal genes. 23andMe continues to offer that as part of its service.

Carriage Bolts are among the common types of bolts, under the round-head bolt family. Basically, these come with a rounded head, a squared neck/shoulder and a flat bearing surface. These are also known as coach bolts, round head square neck bolts, shaker screen bolts and carriage screws.
Carriage Bolts are often used for connecting wood to wood, wood to metal and metal to metal. These are commonly seen in construction of docks, decks, swing sets, patio furniture, chain link fences, and other applications that require a smooth finish. The head is not designed to turn, so this is usually tightened into place with a wrench or nut. However, this can also fit into a pre-bored hole and tightened by twisting it into the wood through the bolt's squared neck.
There are two common finishes for a carriage bolt – zinc plating and hot dip galvanizing. The former is the more popular option as it is less expensive but only offers moderate resistance to corrosion. As for projects exposed to harsh weather conditions, a galvanized carriage bolt is recommended.
At The Industrial Depot, we offer you with several high quality Carriage Bolts that are made from premium quality materials and different grades of steel to ensure that these will last for as long as possible.

Podmolnik je naselje v Mestni občini Ljubljana. Ime je dobila po bližnjem hribu Molniku (582 m). Sredi vasi pa je osamljen hrib Mareček. Legenda pravi, da je bil na hribu grad, v katerem je živel graščak, ki je bil zelo nasilen in je pobijal podložnike, če niso izpolnili njegovih želja. Ker je moril ljudi, so ga klicali Mureček, zato se hribu reče Mareček. V vasi je bife in frizerski salon.

Chokers have become the favorite necklaces. I remember wearing them when I was little, but this trend has become something bigger this time, with a huge range of possibilities. Today I'm showing you three options that I'm in love with and I can't stop wearing.
If you want to add some accessories but you want to keep that minimal touch this is definitely your best choice. Just go for the usual velvet choker, which you can find in several colors!
If you want to look more chic and glamorous this is the perfect choice for you! I love this especially because chokers are usually related to edgy style, but this is definitely not. This looks so chic!
Whereas is a horn or another piece, if you want something not as simple as only the velvet piece, just go and buy cool pieces, and then change them depending on the outfit you want to wear. A lot of different chokers just in one!
All these chokers are from an online fashion store called Zaful, where you can find a lot of gorgeous chokers. I'm sure you're definitely gonna love them!
Do you like chokers? Which is your favorite? Tell me so in the comments down below and I'll be glad to read them!

I'll keep wearing them for a very long time for sure!
All of these chokers are gorgeous!!
Definitely! Chokers are a great accessory!
Yes! Love the choker look! And I love that you can wear it with a tee or with a fancier top and it'll give you such different looks!
That's what I love about them! They are so easy to style!
You look so good with chokers! Such cute options!
Me too! That one is probably my fave!

Cairo in Egypt presents wonderful world wonders that are not to be missed; hence, get on any low-cost flights to Cairo along with your digicam and immortalize these awesome wonders. Many online travel consultancies may help you out on this. The net booking with many good websites will entertain you with the most affordable air fares and special deals. • Another approach to get low-cost flight is to guide last minute low-cost flight. As last minute booking is at all times risky and it leaves with no other possibility but generally it serves as the most effective means to get most discounted tickets.\n\nThe airlines nowadays are very strict on their respective pointers and are even guiding the shoppers accordingly. There are even the weather issues, especially on the international air traces tickets and the shopper has to verify whether he will make a connection or not on the particular day, no matter the opposed weather situations.\n\nSubscribe for newsletters and other e-information in the airline companies website to receive regular updates. Call directly to airport and airline companies to know whether there are any cancellations occurred. Call directly to the travel companies for getting data on the packages that obtained canceled leading to your respective destination.\n\nIf folks call you Chrisy for Christina, or Bill for William, if you guide flights, bear in mind that airport workers will verify your ticket in opposition to your passport, so you provide EXACTLY the same data as appears on passport to guide China flights.\n\nRight before the bankruptcy in the 12 months 2003, Hawaiian Airlines replaced the leased carriers of DC-10 with the advanced fleet of Boeing 767 which brought complete new stage of modernization in the trade and gave passengers a significantly spacious and comfy traveling experience.\n\nKeahole Airport presents nonstop flights to 18 cities. Every week, no less than 537 domestic flights and 19 international flights depart from Keahole Airport. Right now, 21 airlines operate out of Kauai Island Airport. Kauai Island Airport presents nonstop flights to 13 cities.\n\nThen after 24 hours, supplied there's capacity, you possibly can swap it to the dates you originally wished at no further charge. We then booked the flexi-flights, which had been £848 – a saving of £seven-hundred. Step 1: Verify no less than 20 seats are available on the date you wish to fly.

«Тру́тень» — русский литературно-художественный еженедельный сатирический журнал, выходивший с мая 1769 по апрель 1770 в Санкт-Петербурге.

Издавался писателем, журналистом и издателем Н. И. Новиковым. Журнал выступал против злоупотреблений помещичьей властью, неправосудия, взяточничества и за действенную «сатиру на лица», против бессильной «сатиры на пороки». По этому вопросу «Трутень» вступил в полемику со «Всякой Всячиной» императрицы Екатерины II. Вскоре журнал был вынужден умерить тон, а затем и совсем прекратился. В заключительном листе Новиков писал:
Против желания моего, читатели, я с вами разлучаюсь; обстоятельства мои и ваша обыкновенная жадность к новостям, а после того отвращение тому причина.

12 (1) мая 1770 г. журнал «Трутень» был закрыт под предлогом, что истек срок издательской лицензии. Уже до этого были закрыты и остальные сатирические журналы («Всякая всячина», первый в Российской Империи сатирический журнал, издаваемый под непосредственным руководством Екатерины II ее кабинет-секретарем Г. В. Козицким, «И то и сё» М. Д. Чулкова, «Ни то ни сё» В. Г. Рубана и С. Башилова, «Поденщина» Василия Тузова, «Смесь» Л. Сичкарева, «Адская почта» Ф. А. Эмина.

My extreme kayaking this summer may not be defined like most paddler's extreme kayaking. I did not run huge waterfalls, I did not paddle any first descent, I did not participate in any of the extreme races in the circuit . . . my extreme kayaking consisted of days on the water class II-III style ~ over 100+ days in my kayak in just a few short months! And most of all . . . I was totally WINNING!
My journey during this busy work season provided me with many amazing experiences ~ Costa Rica, First Descents (4 weeks of it), Multi-day Kayak instruction on the Lower Salmon, private kayak instruction on the White Salmon River and program/event organization, hosting Canoe & Kayak Awards show in Salt Lake City ~ all of these things made for one of my busiest, but best summers yet!
One of my biggest quests over the last 11 months was planning, organizing and implementing the National Whitewater Symposium. The White Salmon River is hosting this annual event and we couldn't be more excited. To me, organizing an event of this magnitude is by far one of the most extreme things I've done! The event happens on October 12-14 . . . I really hope to see a few of you there!
With the close of the season just a reach away I feel this bittersweet emotion. The end of a season meeting amazing people and introducing the sport to over hundreds of new paddlers mixed with the excitement and anxiety to get back in my creek boat and start going vertical once again is overwhelming.
I do, however, have this crazy little feeling that this winter is going to ROCK!


Launched in India in 1996. Bandit 1200S is not in production now.
The very first liter class motorcycle in the Bandit series. The bike was introduced in 1996 with optional ABS technology. The bike has its own style and looked way unique. The firm borrowed the 1157cc, 4-stroke, 4-cylinder, DOHC 16 valve, air/oil cooled heart of the GSX-1100R to power up the Bandit 1200S. Delivering 101.7 hp @ 8500 rpm of power and 69.5 ft.-lb @ 6250 rpm of torque, the machine does a better job on the track.


bn3sports claim to be the biggest supporters of women's mountain biking in the UK in recent years having established, and subsequently developed, the UK's (if not the World's) first all-female factory downhill team. Now they're inviting UK and European riders to submit their CVs for a place on next year's team so if you are – or if you know of – a girl who rips downhill, read on!
With a seven-season history of running a top-flight downhill team and with team riders winning a glut of titles, the 2004 incarnation can currently be seen at major national and international events as the AlpineTracks/SRAM/RockShox World Cup Race Team.
The intention is to field a four or five rider team next season, with at least one 4X specialist. The team will contest the UCI World Cup and all major UK races as well as a selection of European races. Three places have already been provisionally filled.
bn3sports riders are expected to compete in European rounds of the UCI World Cup, but will also be ambassadors for our team sponsors, so we're looking for hard-racing, smooth-talking types.
In return for their efforts, team riders get a comprehensive package including expenses, kit and a whole range of products and services. Successful applicants will receive full details of the deal on completion of the selection process.


The recent Democratic presidential debate confirmed long-held suspicions regarding that Party's apparent antipathy towards the free market principles upon which this great nation was founded. Regrettably, Oregon's self-styled "progressive" leadership has been all too eager to be at the forefront of many of these failed big government policies. They appear to particularly favor programs that attempt to eliminate the private sector and impose government-sanctioned monopolies by force and edict.
Perhaps the most salient example of this interference with private sector industry was the 2010 passage of the controversial Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as "Obamacare." Democrats in the U.S. House and Senate eagerly voted to enact the 1000-plus page bill on a strict party-line vote.
Oregon was first in line for this grandiose experiment. It wasted a monstrous $300 million on a website for the state health care exchange that made our state a national laughingstock.
The website admittedly never signed-up a single person for private insurance coverage. The combined cost of replacing the failed website to sign-up private sector and Medicaid participants will cost in excess of $100 million more.
But the worst impacts of this folly are yet to be felt by our state's taxpayers. When the Legislature convenes for its 2017 session, the Oregon Health Authority will face tremendous budgetary shortfalls in the cash needed to fund the enormous Medicaid expansion made possible through the Affordable Care Act. Although federal funds have thus far bolstered the system, that funding will be gradually phased out starting next year. Oregonians will be required to make up the difference, and to say the least, it will be costly.
Having already intruded into health care, progressive Democrats at the state and federal level are now hoping to do the same with regards to private retirement savings.
A recent Wall Street Journal editorial details a new rule being promoted by the U.S. Department of Labor that "could more than double the cost of investment advice for many savers." Under the new rule, savers rolling money from a 401K system into an Individual Retirement Account could only be advised by people acting in their "best interests" as fiduciaries. The addition of seemingly simple words can create significant changes.
Brokers are currently paid on commission while fiduciaries receive a fixed percentage of their clients' assets. The commission model generally costs consumers about 0.5 percent of their assets while the fee-based approach generally takes around 1.1 percent, in addition to other fund expenses. What this means in plain language is the model being sought by President Obama will cost investors more than twice as much and will also deprive them of many of the options they currently enjoy under the existing system.
Obama called on the Labor Department to propose the rules by the end of the year, in a speech made last July to the White House Conference of Aging. The rule is being created under the auspices of providing a clear path forward for states to create retirement savings programs. Several states, including Oregon, have passed legislation to do exactly that.
Oregon once again appears to have volunteered to be a testing ground for a risky federal concept that may have unintended consequences for the same people it purportedly is aimed at helping. Moreover, it appears to be overtly attempting to supplant the state's private sector retirement savings industry with a state government-operated monopoly.
In a previous newsletter, I warned about the potential pitfalls of this concept and shared concerns about the true motivations of its proponents. Having already placed the health care industry in the controlling clutches of big government, liberal Democrats are attempting to do the same with the nation's energy sector, under the guise of saving the environment. They are now working to add private retirement to the list of industries that the State will regulate out of existence and replace with another government-sanctioned monopoly.
Our next presidential election is just over a year away. Americans will decide if the eight years of disastrous economic policies pursued by the Obama administration should continue, or be replaced with free market principles. My hope is that we choose wisely, before we run out of industries for "progressive" liberals to take over through more big government mandates.

Is Making Your Own Clothes Cheaper?
If you're looking to save money, is sewing your own clothing a frugal option?
Does sewing your own clothing at home save you money? Twenty to thirty years ago, the answer to this question would have been a resounding yes. Making something on your own certainly saves you on labor costs and allows you to make a piece you are sure to love.
Chances are, however, that it is not saving you money in the long run. Nowadays clothing costs are much lower while fabric prices are starting to increase. For some people, making your own garments might save money. For the most part, however, it will not be the frugal option.
Trying to decide if making your own clothes will save you money? Consider the following before diving into an entirely DIY wardrobe.
Love the dress pattern in this photo? Check out the Feisty Fashionista Sleeveless Dress Pattern!
So, is making your own clothes worth it? Find out below with our detailed information about making clothes including what you need, evaluating your skill levels, style and fashion desires, and more.
Is Sewing Worth it? Time Measurement!
If you don't have a ton of spare time, this can really add up. Time is actually money and you should keep in mind that making a t-shirt or skirt could take you hours.
Right now, the minimum wage in the United States is $7.25. If it takes you 3 hours to make a project, that's $21.75 before you even buy the fabric, pattern, and required notions. You can easily buy a garment for that price at big box stores like Walmart, JC Penny, or Target.
What Kind of Clothes Are You Making and Buying?
This makes a huge difference in the cost of your clothing. If you are a frugal shopper and tend to buy from big box stores, clothing costs are generally far cheaper than fabric costs. Factoring in time and notions, you likely will not save money making your own clothes.
If you are buying high-end pieces of clothing from designer stores, however, making your own clothing with higher end fabric might be the better option. Of course, this is assuming you have the skills to make these complicated, trendy patterns.
Karen from Fringe Association actually found that making her own clothes was relatively cheaper than shopping at J. Crew. Read about her sewing journey.
Who Are You Making the Clothing For?
As an adult, chances are that making your own clothes will not save you a ton of money. If you are making clothing for children, however, this might change! Generally, kids clothing prices are rather inflated and can even cost just as much as adult pieces. Since littler things require less fabric, you might save money if you making clothing for your kids. Plus, since they do grow out of clothing so quickly, you can get away with using cheaper fabric.
Beginner sewing enthusiasts are not going to be able to sit down and make complicated pieces like blazers, formal dresses, coats, and more. If you are new to sewing, chances are your first few projects are likely to be a little less than perfect. You will not be making store-quality items. This likely means handmade items will not hold up and stand the test of time. Plus, you likely do not want to walk into a job interview with a DIY hem that is less-than-straight.
Expert seamstresses, however, might be able to make this system work for them. If you can sew perfectly and quickly, the time you save might make up for fabric inflation. Plus, buying quality pieces and then having them tailored is very expensive. If you can create the perfect fit for yourself, you are likely to save a ton!
Seamstresses who are able to sew professional-grade projects like the Biker Cardi below are more likely to save money when making their own clothes.
Using free sewing patterns can help you alleviate the cost of creating your own garments, check out our collection of clothing patterns! This page lists all of our clothing collections and serves as an excellent resource for how to make clothes.
What do you think? Is making your own clothing more expensive?
I really enjoyed this article but would have loved even more information, like a good place to buy cheap patterns or places online to buy nice but affordable fabric. Thank you for the good read!

Exploring how greenspace programmes might be effective in supporting people with problem substance use: a realist interview study
Masterton W, Parkes T, Carver H & Park KJ (2022) Exploring how greenspace programmes might be effective in supporting people with problem substance use: a realist interview study. BMC Public Health , 22 (1), Art. No.: 1661. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-022-14063-2
Background: Greenspace programmes are health projects run outside in nature, typically with the aim of improving mental health. Research suggests that programmes may also be effective in supporting people with problem substance use (PSU), but there is limited understanding of the key components that make them successful for this client group. Previous work has claimed that a realist-informed intervention framework for greenspace programmes for mental health could be transferable to programmes that support people with PSU, and that this could provide insight into the causal processes within programmes. However, this claim is yet to be explored in depth. The aim of this study was to further test, refine, and consolidate the proposed framework to show how greenspace programmes could support people with PSU. Methods: Using a realist approach, 17 participants (8 programme staff; 9 wider stakeholders) were interviewed about contexts, mechanisms, and outcomes (CMOs) relative to greenspace programmes for mental health and PSU. Semi-structured interviews were used since they facilitated exploration of the proposed framework but were flexible enough to allow identification of new CMOs for framework refinement. Interviews were audio-recorded, fully transcribed , and analysed inductively and deductively against the proposed framework. Results: Findings supported the proposed framework and indicated that greenspace programmes support people with poor mental health and PSU due to: feelings of escape; space to reflect; physical activity; self-efficacy; feelings of purpose; relationships; and shared experiences. However, data showed that programmes must also consider: explicit intervention focus to ensure adequate support for clients; existing challenges with funding and stakeholder buy-in; and the impact of COVID-19. Findings allowed development of a refined framework that shows how greenspace programmes can support people with PSU. Conclusion: The findings of this project are theoretically novel and have practical relevance for those designing greenspace programmes by providing recommendations on how to optimise, tailor, and implement future interventions. Findings could be particularly relevant for academic researchers, multidisciplinary health professionals, and for those working in the third sector, developing and delivering greenspace programmes for people to improve their mental health and to support them with PSU.
