MLS Week 5 Tips
I've decided to go ahead and watch the highlights of each side's last match in an attempt to improve my MLS previews so here goes...
Orlando were involved in one of the crazier opening half-hours in the MLS so far this year in their 2-2 draw with Montreal. Four goals inside the first thirty minutes isn't generally seen that much and it was even stranger that neither team could score again in the last hour of the game.
The Impact went up early from the spot after Sean St. Ledger accidentally handled the ball inside the box. A 2nd goal in the 27th minute for the Impact was followed stunningly by two Orlando City goals in the space of two minutes as they leveled the match. 2-2 is how it would end.
Meanwhile DC United were extremely lucky to get a 1-0 result in the last minute against L.A Galaxy last week. Watching through the highlights, a draw would have been a fair result but sometimes that's not how it pans out. The team from the Capitol would move into 2nd place in the East with the last minute win.
For this game I'm going to back the home side. Kaka and his men went down in their last home match as a result of a late Vancouver goal and whilst the visitors know how to win late, I don't think they'll get over Orlando here. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong but Orlando are my tip.
My Tip: Orlando City 2-1 DC United
Chicago Fire got the job done last week against a rather blunt Philadelphia Union side. The Fire scored from a Adailton header on the end of a set-piece and could have maybe scored one of two more if their finishing had of been better. To be honest though, Chicago keeper Sean Johnson was never really tested in goal, especially after the Union went down to ten men late in the second half.
Toronto's loss to Real Salt Lake was unlucky and they probably deserved to at least draw the match after working hard throughout the second half to turn around a 1-0 deficit. The breakthrough came when their Brazilian midfielder Jackson scored in the 88th minute. RSL however would turn things around and score the winner at the other end moments later.
All in all this is a tough game to pick. Chicago are the slight favourites with the home field advantage but I certainly wouldn't write off a Toronto win. They always say when it doubt tip a draw and that's what I'm going to do here. Hopefully for the neutral, a high-scoring draw.
My Tip: Chicago 2-2 Toronto
The Colorado Rapids have not scored a goal in three games so far this season and didn't really force Tyler Deric into too saving too many attempts last week as the Rapids and Houston Dynamo played out an uninspiring scoreless draw at BBVA Compass Stadium.
Ironically New England went scoreless in their opening three games before a 2-1 win at home last week over the San Jose Earthquakes so maybe that'll spur on the Rapids knowing they're back at home against a team that haven't exactly set the world alight in the opening month.
New England opened their account last weekend with that aforementioned 2-1 win over San Jose. Kelyn Rowe opened the scoring for the home side with what on first glance looked like a spectacular curving shot but a look at the replay saw a huge deflection of a Quakes defender. Rowe would score again and cap off an impressive first 45 for the home side.
The Revs did take their foot off the pedal in the second half and I don't think they can afford to do the same against Colorado. The Rapids are my tip for this game. They are technically unbeaten but they have to start scoring goals. Whether or not that comes this weekend is yet to be seen but they're my pick to win it.
My Tip: Colorado 1-0 New England
Robert Earnshaw came on for a short but sweet Vancouver Whitecaps debut last week. The former Cardiff City man scored a stoppage time winner against Vancouver's Cascadian rivals in Portland. The Timbers scored just a few minutes before the end of the 90 but the Whitecaps pulled off the late result, something they're becoming known for this season.
I spoke about the LA-DC United game earlier in this article and I mentioned it very well could have ended in a draw. LA though I'd admit they need to step up their game this week. The standard-bearers for so long in the MLS, I think the Galaxy aren't far away from 'clicking'. The addition of Steven Gerrard in a month or two's time will no doubt boost their hopes.
As for this game I think the Galaxy have to avoid any late slip-ups. That's the important thing against Vancouver. Don't let your guard down. For my tip I'm going with a 1-1 draw. Vancouver have some quality in them but I don't think they'll get all three points.
My Tip: Vancouver 1-1 L.A Galaxy
Seattle Sounders were held to a scoreless draw in their visit to Dallas last weekend. After a poor first half, the Sounders improved in the second and tried to control the game against a ten-man Dallas side. It wasn't a lack of chances that cost the Sounders, it was a lack of luck in front of goal. It was one of those games. No shots were going on target and sometimes that happens.
Houston on the other hand were reasonably poor against Colorado last week. This is a game I think the Dynamo will struggle to win. Seattle need to start finding some form after a bit of a slump in their last two outings. Expect a Sounders win here.
My Tip: Seattle 2-0 Houston
Portland Timbers were extremely unlucky not to grab a least a point from their visit to the BC Place Stadium last weekend. The Timbers equalised with just a few minutes left but the home side would take all three points with a goal in stoppage time and condemn the Timbers to their first loss of the season and send them to the bottom of the Western Conference.
Dallas were involved in a scoreless draw with Seattle last week and despite going down to ten men mid-way through the first half, FC Dallas managed to hold the visitors scoreless and retain their unbeaten start to the season.
So all in all it's last in the West versus first in the East and I'm backing the Timbers to win it. Yes Dallas are in a bit of form but the Timbers are too good a side to sit at the bottom for too long. I'm expecting them to fire up for this home game.
My Tip: Portland 2-1 FC Dallas
San Jose v Real Salt Lake:
My apologies for the lateness of my predictions for the next two games. It's 3am at the moment so I'll try and make these two tips pretty quick. This first one's tough to call. San Jose has some steel about them this season and after celebrating the opening of their brand new stadium with a win two weeks ago, they return to Avaya Stadium hoping to get past Real Salt Lake.
For my tip I'll go with the home side but a draw wouldn't surprise me at all. As I said, San Jose are looking like they'll be a team pushing for a playoff spot. A win here would boost the Quakes confidence.
My Tip: San Jose 2-1 Real Salt Lake
Sporting KC v Philadelphia:
Sporting Kansas City are the favourites here and the boys from the city of fountains impressed with a road win at Yankee Stadium last weekend. Philadelphia on the other hand are winless and sit bottom of the Eastern Conference. This will be a tough game for the Union and I can't see them pulling out a win against Sporting.
My Tip: Sporting KC 2-0 Philadelphia

97% Of APSE Teachers Rejected The Agreement To Return To The Classroom
Members of the ANDE and SEC teachers unions are expected back to school by Monday to close off the 9 days left in the 2018 school year.
Not all the teachers on strike since September 10 that were expected to be back at work today, Friday, following the latest with the decision by the Labor Court declaring their strike illegal. Again.
The press office of the teacher's union, the Asociación de Profesores de Segunda Enseñanza (APSE), announced late Thursday night, at 11:05 pm, that 97% of their members refused to return to the classroom like their peers at the Asociación Nacional de Educadores (ANDE).
According to the APSE, 97% of the 38,000 members of the Association refused to approve the draft agreement that their representatives negotiated with the Education Minister, Edgar Mora.
"In accordance with the above, the APSE union is on an indefinite strike," the organization said in the statement.
The note posted on Facebook by the APSE press office signed November 29 by APSE president Mélida Cedeño Castro and the union's secretary general Roblin Apú Murillo
The APSE and ANDE unions combined represent 50,000 public employees of the Ministry of Education (MEP), who have been on strike against the 'plan fiscal' or tax reform since September 10.
Wednesday (November 28), the Juzgado de Trabajo del Segundo Circuito Judicial de San José (San Jose Labor Court) once again declared the labor movement illegal. The Court considers that the strike "was not peaceful", affected "essential services" and "violated the principles of reasonableness."
MEP lawyers argued that the strike is not against the ministry, that is the workers are not on strike against the employer, rather a government policy which is outside labor relations.
Today is day 82 of the strike.
According to the draft agreement between the unions and the Minister, the teachers would return to the classrooms this Friday to collaborate in the preparation of the 2019 school year.
In addition, the agreement guarantees that there will be no reprisals for going on strike, but disciplinary procedures would be maintained against those who left for travel (while on strike) and school principals who did not show up on Monday, November 26.
Likewise, it was established that any docking of wages would be subject to court decisions.
The strike by teachers has also left more than 79,000 students to be without meals, which for many is perhaps the only decent meal they get, because more than half of the schools are closed.
Thursday, the teachers affiliated with the Sindicato de Educadores Costarricenses (SEC) – Costa Rican Teachers' Union, which has some 30,000 members, reported that they lifted the strike the movement, deciding to return to the classrooms on Monday.
That is, they will only work the nine days left in the 2018 school year and then will go on vacation to return in mid-January to prepare for the start of the 2019 school year the first week in February.
However, it is not clear if the SEC member teachers will be back to work on Monday, for as soon as the SEC informed its decision, in social networks the members threatened to disaffiliate themselves.

MAKING TRAVEL INCLUSIVE FOR ALL
Travel has probably crossed all of our minds at some point in the last few months. Holidays abroad, daytrips with the kids, or music festivals are all familiar summer experiences that require us to think about how we'll get from A to B. But for disabled people, travelling anywhere is far from easy. For many, this summer has been one of renewed excitement and opportunity, with international travel being possible for the first time since the pandemic. Unfortunately, for people with disabilities, travel is all too often inaccessible, uncomfortable, and expensive. A recent survey found that two-thirds of the seven million Britons with limited mobility avoid flying altogether because it is so difficult.

Deploying next-generation airline loyalty programs
whitePaper | November 15, 2022
The COVID-19 pandemic not only dramatically limited travel but also caused permanent shifts in traveler behavior, forever changing "business as usual" for airlines. No touchpoints with travelers have changed more profoundly than loyalty programs. In 2020, airline industry revenues totaled $328 billion, about 40% of revenue from the previous year, McKinsey reports. Benefits designed for frequent flyers continue to lose their efficacy as uncertainty around the return of business travel remains.
Wi-Fi in Hospitality
whitePaper | October 31, 2022
Hospitality is an extremely challenging environment for designing and deploying Wi-Fi networks. The client device population of the guests literally changes on a nightly basis, so there is a constant barrage of new and unknown devices that are using the network. It is also quite common for guests to have multiple client devices (i.e., laptops, tablets, and smartphones) connected simultaneously, and to use their own devices for entertainment, such as streaming media from Netflix or Amazon Prime. Guests expect the same level of experience that they are used to at home
The vendors' view on the transition to a world of Offers and Orders
Based on present trends, we believe it will be possible for some airlines and their partners to see a world of 100% Offers and Orders by 2030. This means that full capabilities, based on global open standards and a modular architecture, need to be ready and available for any airline that wishes to embark on this journey. In partnership with key industry players, IATA has published a vision of a world with 100% Offers and Orders. The New Distribution Capability (NDC) has been a catalyst in this journey to airline retailing. However, many implementations sell rely on legacy artefacts such as filed fares, booking classes, PNRs and E-Tickets/EMDs. Vendors are developing retailing plaƞorms in this context, however, so far, none of them propose a completely legacy-free environment with Offers and Orders only.
7 KEY DIGITAL DRIVERS OF THE TRAVEL & LEISURE INDUSTRY
whitePaper | February 10, 2020
In recent years, there have been remarkable breakthroughs in technology which have led to exciting advancements in the way travel and leisure operators conduct business and attract new consumers. It's been a period of discovery, with operators finding that the strategies that worked in the past, don't work now. As the recent fate of Thomas Cook shows, there has been casualties as a result. Technology developments are showing no sign of slowing down, as innovation races to keep up with consumer's expectations. While some brands have already adopted experience apps and slick social media campaigns, others are still in the discovery stage; soaking in insight while incrementally applying updates to their business model. The more businesses lag behind, the more their counterparts will thrive, and that's a dangerous position to be in. Generation Z, the first digitally native generation, is quickly moving into the prime purchasing position.
Achieving Breakthrough Savings with Traveler Demand and Behavior Strategies
For most travel managers, corporate travel spend is expected to decrease while expectations for a pleasurable travel experience remain high. Of travel dollars going toward internal initiatives alone, most companies already spend more than 50% of their budget. In response, Advito's April Bridgeman and LinkedIn's Leslie Hadden share their tips to faciliate the most practical, enjoyable and cost-effective travel experiences for employees.
Crawl, Walk, Run, Fly Your Way to Digital Personalization.

As a marketer, if you are strategizing ways to both differentiate yourself from the competition while also forging better, stronger bonds with your existing customers, personalization should be on your radar. In many ways, digital personalization represents the ultimate experience goal for most organizations — allowing them to fully customize an individual's experience rather than trying to fit all potential customers into a "one size fits all" box that doesn't really exist anymore.

Privacy and security for artificial intelligence
Önen, Melek
Invited talk at the University of Luxembourg, 1 July 2021, Luxembourg, Luxembourg
The rise of cloud computing technology led to a paradigm shift in technological services that enabled enterprises to delegate their data analytics tasks to third party (cloud) servers. Machine Learning as a Service (MLaaS) is one such service which provides stakeholders the ease to perform machine learning tasks on a cloud platform. This advantage of outsourcing these computationally-intensive operations, unfortunately comes with a high cost in terms of privacy exposures. The goal is therefore to come up with customized ML algorithms that would by design preserve the privacy of the processed data. Advanced cryptographic techniques such as fully homomorphic encryption or secure multi-party computation enable the execution of some operations over encrypted data and therefore can be considered as potential candidates for these algorithms. Yet, these incur high computational and/or communication costs for some operations. In this talk, we will analyze the tension between ML techniques and relevant cryptographic tools. We will further overview existing solutions addressing both privacy and security.

Situated in rural Essex, The Castle Surgery is a medium sized family GP practice and operates from two premises, a main site in Castle Hedingham and a branch surgery in Great Yeldham which has limited opening hours.
The Castle Surgery was established in 1981 and is renowned for possessing a good knowledge of its 5,000 patients and offering a friendly service. A recent report from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) referenced the positive comments received from patients about the services available at the practice, the skills of the staff and the treatment provided by the GPs and nurses.
The GP building located at Falcon Square, Castle Hedingham housed two separate, independent GP surgeries. Dr Paul Davis operated the Castle Hedingham Surgery while The Castle Surgery was operated by Dr William Littler who had worked at the practice since 1998. The GP building and associated notional rent was shared equally between the two doctors.
However the existing agreement became more complicated when Dr Davis announced he was retiring as the only permanent.
GP at the Castle Hedingham Surgery in December 2015 resulting in its closure. Discussions subsequently took place to determine whether the majority of Dr Davis�s 2,100 patients could be transferred to Dr Littler so that they could continue to receive primary health care services from January 2016.
"The other doctor's retirement presented me with an unexpected situation, and although this represented a good opportunity for me to expand my number of patients, it was something that I hadn't really planned for," explains Dr William Littler. "As the GP building was jointly owned, I had little option but to buy the other GP out or sell the whole thing which would have resulted in me losing my job."
Dr Davis had no hesitation in recommending Wesleyan Bank's commercial financial solutions to Dr Littler.
"The service I received from Wesleyan compared to the high street banks I initially contacted couldn't have been more contrasting. The banks preferred approach appeared for me to speak to someone relatively junior over the phone and answer questions by going through a structured script, with no availability to meet with a senior representative in person," observed Dr Littler.
"Wesleyan were completely different. I was able to meet with a dedicated and experienced Busines Development Manager who had a comprehensive knowledge of GP practices which reassured me from the outset that he could help."
The process from arranging a valuation of the building to completing the drawdown facility took just four months. Wesleyan was able to provide Dr Littler with a secured six figure practice buy in loan against the GP listed building over 18 years. The loan was arranged to cover the purchase of the GP building and reimburse a proportion of an endowment policy shortfall.
"Everything progressed smoothly and I received a straightforward, personalised service which displayed the characteristics of good old-fashioned banking. I got to talk to the same representative from Wesleyan who was fully aware of my circumstances and could clearly explain the range of options that were available.
"It made a welcome change from speaking to someone from a high street bank in a call centre who didn't understand me or the challenges GP practices face, who was probably being guided by a computer system," continued Dr Littler.
Having assumed responsibility for new members of staff and over 2,000 patients transferred across from the Castle Hedingham surgery, Dr Littler's initial plans are to consolidate and improve existing services which are already held in high regard. "Thanks to the guidance I received from Wesleyan my financial life is much simpler and I can plan with confidence for the future.
"I now have a secure low interest business loan on the GP building with no penalties for early repayment with affordable payment terms which work for me. "In the near future I will need to consider bringing on board a partner to work alongside me at the Castle Surgery and inevitably Wesleyan will be my first port of call," he added. patients," he adds.

New Rules Roleplaying Star Wars
SW Rules Movement Personal Scale
No Comments on SW Rules Movement Personal Scale
Star Wars – Rules Update
FFG – Movement – Personal Scale
The mechanics of moving in the FFG Game are different from other iterations of Star Wars as precise distance movement is dropped for more of a theatre of the minds eye style of play. I am happy to do that in some games, but here I look at an alternative version for use on the tabletop with grids.
The Range Bands
Personal – Engaged
Personal – Short Range
Personal – Medium Range
Personal – Long Range
Personal – Extreme Range
Edge of the Empire relies on broad terms used to describe ranges and distances. Rather than have a player's attention focused on a grid, counting squares, Edge of the Empire uses more abstract means to represent position, distances, and ranges, thus allowing the players to focus on the action and the adventure.
The distance between two points – people, objects, or adversaries – is defined by general range categories. These range categories are used to determine how far a ranged attack can reach, how far apart two people are from each other, how much effort is needed to move between two places, and so on. The most common ranges are short, medium, long, and extreme range. Another relative position exists – engaged – to represent characters that are in extremely close proximity to each other.
For ease of play, distance in Edge of the Empire is divided up into five different bands, from engaged to extreme. As always, the GM has final say in determining the range between the attacker and the target.
With the engaged status and the range bands, the GM is free to describe things dynamically and set scenes without having to worry about exact distances. Exact distances in meters do not matter. The details and adventure come first, creating a vivid picture for the players, while allowing the GM to quickly provide the mechanical information players need to use their actions and build strategies.
House Rule
Note: For times when squares are useful I have added some house-rules for using squares to measure by. Each character will be assigned a base modifier.
Base Move Modifier – This is determined by either Brawn or skill (such as Athletics, Melee or Brawl). Also used for Melee engaged range.
Base Move – A character can move 3x their base move modifier as a manoeuvre. for an average character this is 9 squares.
Base Range Modifier – This is determined by either Agility or skill (such as Coordination or ranged attack).
Other skills might be appropriate depending on the circumstance. Such as Intelligence or Computers for Scanning range.
Silhouette – Most characters have a silhouette of 1.
Skill Check – a character can use their action to increase the distance travelled with the difficulty being the number of manoeuvres intended, with each success granting another square of movement. A failure uses up one of the manoeuvres without using the movement.
To reflect two or more targets close enough to interact directly with each other, there is a special range status called engaged. Two characters engaged with each other are in very close proximity. A soldier needs to be engaged with a target to hit him with his vibrosword. Two or more characters engaged with each other is called an engagement.
Engaged is also used to indicate that a person is close enough to an item to use it. A slicer needs to be engaged with a security terminal to attempt to hack it. A pilot needs to be engaged with his starship to board it. A bounty hunter needs to be engaged with a tree if he wants to hide behind it for cover while stalking his prey. The engaged status simply indicates that two things are close enough to each other to directly interact.
The best way to consider engaged is as a subcategory of short range. Obviously, someone can be slightly further away if they're at short range, rather than if they're engaged with someone. However, the distance is relatively minor. Thus, spending a maneuver to move to engage someone or something is as much a matter of moving into combat (or out of combat) cautiously enough to avoid a return blow – or flipping open and focusing one's attention on a device – as much as it is moving a physical distance.
Note: For when squares are important, a characters engaged rating is Half Base Move Modifier rounded up.
Example: A character is silhouette 1, with an Brawn of 2 would have a Base Move Modifier of 3. So their engaged range would be 3/2 rounded up and become 2 squares.
Short range indicates up to several meters between targets. Many thrown weapons and small firearms are most accurate at short range. Two people in short range can talk comfortably without raising their voices. Moving to another spot within short range is usually easy to do and generally only requires one maneuver
Note: For when squares are important, a characters short rating is Base Modifier multiplied by 3.
Example – Same character with a Base Modifier of 3 they would have a Short range of 9 squares.
Medium range can be up to several dozen meters away. More reliable pistols can reach to medium range. Few thrown weapons can reach this far. Two people in medium range of each other need to talk loudly to hear each other. Moving from short range to medium range takes little exertion, and generally requires one maneuver.
Note: For when squares are important, a characters medium rating is Base Modifier multiplied by 6.
Example – Same character with a Base Modifier of 3 they would have a Medium Range of 18 squares.
Long range is further than a few dozen meters. Blaster rifles, mounted weapons, and weapons that use the Gunnery skill can reliably reach this far without too much trouble. Two people in long range of each other need to yell loudly to hear each other. Moving from medium range to long range requires two maneuvers, as it is more time consuming than moving between medium range and short range. This means that in most cases, a character cannot close the distance between short and long range in a single round, as it would take three maneuvers (one for short to medium, two for medium to long).
Note: For when squares are important, a characters long rating is Base Modifier multiplied by 12.
Example – Same character with a Base Modifier of 3 they would have a Long Range of 36 squares.
Extreme range is the farthest range at which two targets can interact. High-tech sniper weaponry and some vehicle-mounted armaments may reach out to this range. Two people at extreme range may not be able to hear each other even if they shout. Moving between long range and extreme range can be time-consuming and exerting, and requires two maneuvers. This means that in most cases, a character can move the entire distance between long and extreme range in a single round, but will suffer strain or give up his action to do so.
Note: For when squares are important, a characters extreme rating is Base Modifier multiplied by 20.
Example – Same character with a Base Modifier of 3 they would have a Extreme Range of 60 squares.
The idea of the house rule here is to allow someone to use their abilities more in the game and to differentiate between skill levels and ability to move about the battlefield with multiple types of opponents. This may or may not work, but will be giving it a try to allow for multi-combatants range banding to be easier to determine.

Q: How can I register generic class as IHttpModule public class NHibernateSessionPerRequest<T>:IHttpModule
{
    public void Dispose() { }

    public void Init(HttpApplication context)
    {
        context.BeginRequest += BeginRequest;
        context.EndRequest += EndRequest;
    }
}

How can it be registered in web.config?

A: IIS6 : In the system.web section of your web.config
<configuration>
  <system.web>
    <httpModules>
      <add name="MyModule" type="My.Namespace.NHibernateSessionPerRequest`1[[My.Namespace.MyType, My.Assembly]], My.Assembly"/>
    </httpModules>
  </system.web>
</configuration>

IIS7 : In the system.webserver section of your web.config :
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <modules>
      <add name="MyModule" type="My.Namespace.NHibernateSessionPerRequest`1[[My.Namespace.MyType, My.Assembly]], My.Assembly"/>
    </modules>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

For both, replace "My.Namespace" with the namespace of the class, and "My.Assembly" with the assembly name.

A: The easiest solution is to create a concrete type that derives from this type, and then register that:
public class MyActualModule : NHibernateSessionPerRequest<SomeType> {
}

Then in web.config register MyActualModule.
Alternatively, you can use the CLR-compliant syntax for generic types, but it's so awful that I won't even mention it here. Even a simple type like yours will have a type name that's probably over 100 chars long.

Part XVI of the Companies Law facilitates mergers and consolidations between one or more companies, provided that at least one constituent company is incorporated under the Companies Law. The Limited Liability Companies Law, 2016 (the "LLC Law") also provides for a similar framework for Cayman Islands limited liability companies.
section 88 of the Companies Law provides a limited minority squeeze-out procedure (also mirrored in the LLC Law). The Cayman Islands does not have a prescriptive set of legal principles specifically relevant to "going private" and other acquisition transactions (unlike other jurisdictions such as, for example, Delaware). Rather, broad common law and fiduciary principles will apply.
Whilst there are no specific statutes or government regulations concerning the conduct of M&A transactions, where the target company's securities are listed on the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange ("CSX"), the CSX Code on Takeovers and Mergers and Rules Governing Substantial Acquisitions of Shares (the "Code") may apply. The Code exists principally to ensure fair and equal treatment of all shareholders.
There are no foreign investment restrictions or exchange control legislation in the Cayman Islands. However, any company with an established physical presence in the Cayman Islands must be structured so as to comply with local licensing laws, including with respect to ownership. Any company engaging in business locally requires to be licensed under the Trade and Business Licensing Law, 2014, and the applicant must either be beneficially owned and controlled as to at least 60% by persons of Caymanian Status or hold a licence under the Local Companies (Control) Law (2015 Revision). However, foreign investment, if considered beneficial to the Cayman Islands' economy, is generally encouraged.
There are change-of-control rules applicable to entities regulated by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority under the Banks and Trust Companies Law (2013 Revision), the Insurance Law, 2010 or (with respect to licensed mutual fund administrators) the Mutual Funds Law (2015 Revision). In addition, ownership and control restrictions apply to certain entities regulated by the Information & Communications Technology Authority Law (2016 Revision).
Pursuant to common law rules, the directors of Cayman Islands companies owe fiduciary duties (generally described as being those of loyalty, honesty and good faith) to the company. Whilst it is common for directors of Cayman Islands companies to be indemnified for certain breach of this duty, as a matter of public policy, it is not possible for directors to be indemnified for conduct amounting to wilful default, wilful neglect, actual fraud or dishonesty.
To the extent that consent to a merger or acquisition is procured via an information memorandum or proxy statement, civil liability in tort may arise for negligent misstatement or fraudulent misrepresentation. In addition, the Contracts Law (1996 Revision) gives certain statutory rights to damages in respect of negligent misstatements. There are certain criminal sanctions under the Penal Code (2013 Revision) for deceptive actions, including for any officer of a company (or person purporting to act as such) with intent to deceive members or creditors of the company about its affairs who publishes or concurs in publishing a written statement or account which to their knowledge is or may be misleading, false or deceptive in a material particular.
Any disposition of property made at an undervalue by, or on behalf of, a Cayman Islands company and if an intent to defraud its creditors shall be voidable: (i) under the Companies Law at legislation in the Cayman Islands. However, any company with an established physical presence in the Cayman Islands must be structured so as to comply with local licensing laws, including with respect to ownership. Any company engaging in business locally requires to be licensed under the Trade and Business Licensing Law, 2014, and the applicant must either be beneficially owned and controlled as to at least 60% by persons of Caymanian Status or hold a licence under the Local Companies (Control) Law (2015 Revision). However, foreign investment, if considered beneficial to the Cayman Islands' economy, is generally encouraged.
Any disposition of property made at an undervalue by, or on behalf of, a Cayman Islands company and if an intent to defraud its creditors shall be voidable: (i) under the Companies Law at the instance of the company's official liquidator; or (ii) under the Fraudulent Dispositions Law (1996 Revision) at the instance of a creditor thereby prejudiced.

An old SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will soon crash into the moon – CNET
This won't be the first time a spacecraft has slammed into the moon, although Gray thinks it might be the first time it's happening unintentionally. As recently as 2009, NASA slammed its Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (Lcross) into the surface in a search for water (it found some).
NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/Arizona State University
Someone check with Elon Musk to see about turning on the cameras on that old Falcon 9….
While the impact and the new crater it creates won't be visible from Earth, Gray and others are hopeful the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and other spacecraft will eventually be able to get a glimpse of the damage.
Besides adding a new feature to the dark side of the moon, there's some concern it could also introduce tiny hitchhikers to our natural satellite.
"So I'm not bothered by one more crater being made on the moon," David Rothery, professor of planetary geosciences at the UK's Open University, wrote in The Conversation. "It already has something like half a billion craters that are 10 meters or more in diameter. What we should worry about is contaminating the moon with living microbes, or molecules that could in the future be mistaken as evidence of former life on the moon."
SpaceX did not immediately respond to a request for comment. "In essence, this is a 'free' Lcross… except we probably won't see the impact," Gray says.
A natural impact on the moon created this crater in 2013. It's about to get another.
Bill Gray, an amateur astronomer and software developer in Maine, first noticed the terminal trajectory. His software picked up the impact in an orbital model and Gray worked with observatories around the world to gather additional data and increase his confidence in the prediction.
"It will be the moon's newest archaeological site," writes space archaeologist Alice Gorman. "We'll learn something about the geology of the location from the color differences and distribution of the ejected material. It's an opportunity to learn more about the Moon's mysterious far side."
The rocket launched from Florida in 2015, lofting the Deep Space Climate Observatory satellite into orbit before continuing into its own rather erratic elliptical orbit.
"With all the data, we've got a certain impact at March 4 12:25:58 Universal Time (4:25 a.m. PT)," Gray writes in a blog post. Jonathan McDowell, a leading watcher of orbit and everything near Earth in space, confirmed the prediction.
For those asking: yes, an old Falcon 9 second stage left in high orbit in 2015 is going to hit the moon on March 4. It's interesting, but not a big deal.
— Jonathan McDowell (@planet4589) January 25, 2022
The remains of the upper stage from a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will go on an unplanned extended mission next month when the roughly 4-ton hunk of space junk creates a new crater on the moon's far side by slamming into it at over 5,000 miles per hour.
Gray expects the spent rocket to crash into the lunar surface in a crater named Hertzsprung that's a little bit larger than the state of Iowa. The location is remote enough that the impact doesn't pose any threat to the Apollo mission or other space program landing sites.
In a case of cosmic irony, Gray points out there's one spacecraft well positioned to view the impact: the Deep Space Climate Observatory, the same satellite that the wayward rocket launched seven years ago.
"Except that it's about 600,000 kilometers (373,000 miles) away, and tends to stay focused on the Earth; I don't expect they would swerve it sideways to observe an impact that would probably be too faint for it to observe anyway."

Teto Preto
TETO PRETO is a collaboration between visual artist Laura Diaz, producers Savio and Zopelar, multi-instrumentist Bica, keybordist Pedro and french performance artist Loic Koutana. The group emerged from MambaRec – label offshoot of nomadic underground event Mamba Negra, founded by Carol Schutzer (aka DJ Cashu) along with Diaz in 2013, in a period where Sao Paulo began to be considered a kind of "Berlin" of the south, with a burgeoning and particular underground electronic scene.
After the success of the EP "Gasolina"(2016) the group started its trajectory in with key performances renowned festivals around Brazil such as Boiler Room, Rec Beat, Meca, Picnik, Subtropical and Bananada. Two years ago the group was awarded for Best National Direction of MVF 2017 with the videoclip "Gasolina", and also parts of the track featured in the movie "Corpo Elétrico" (2017).
The band's first LP, "Pedra Preta" (2018) – an amulet that transforms our generation's grieving into fighting – has 8 original tracks and serves as a support for the band to develop an extensive narrative of its new phase and formation. With fierce arrangements and energetic songs, the group builds an environment, which is full of revolt, mystery and passion.
The title track, "Pedra Preta" is a song about the breaking up of love moorings. In 2018 it also became the remains of the tragedy of the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro. The song is imbued with a extravagant nightclub mood and has further developed into a provoking, yet precisely contemporary videoclip. The acidic screenplay from Laura Diaz comes to life with a cast composed by great women and fellow fighters. It's a scream, a green and yellow abortion, a celebration ritual of what they live and believe.
In 2019 TETO PRETO took their performances abroad. The group was part of the Dark Mofo Festival, Tasmania, and was one of the few bands invited to represent Sao Paulo's music scene at the Les Escales Festival in France. Their concert was one of the highlights of the festival and caught the attention of important french music publications such as Les Inrockuptibles and Tèlérama – the latter described TETO PRETO's radical and feminist performances as "breathtaking".

Some of the drawings that I have been making this week; trying to clarify things and see what the paintings are and are not doing. Drawing always helps sort things out and move things forward. How can you be an artist and not draw?


I woke up gasping for breath my heart pounding. A heavy weight sitting on my chest. These words ringing in my ears, "Get Brant!" This dream as real as the surroundings of my bedroom. It is February 17, 2008. What I remember before being startled awake was the end of a dream in which three rectangular black shapes move through the air toward me. One, closer than the others begins to form into the shape of an anvil and I know it will land on my chest and sink into me.
I have studied dreams for over twenty years and do not take them lightly. I thought I might be in actual physical danger including the possibility of a heart attack. Brant Secunda was also in the dream. The fear of the black anvil started in the dream and continued upon awaking. I could not stop this thing from coming into me.
That morning on my way to work I called Dance of the Deer Foundation. I have been attending workshops offered by Brant Secunda, a Huichol shaman, for several years. I especially appreciated Brant as my teacher, the Huichols honoring of dreams, and all of the work that the foundation does to support the wonderful Huichol tradition. Brant responded that it was not a heart attack but rather a spiritual crisis. There were some very specific suggestions about what would help at that moment. Of course, I did them.
Three months later I found I was eating everything in sight, especially sugar, sitting on my couch watching TV with no energy or enthusiasm, only going to work and home again. A friend of mine, who is a teacher and a counselor, thought it might be depression and suggested I make an appointment with my medical doctor. I did. Her diagnosis: severe depression. Her solution: medication.
I suddenly saw years of moving in and out of depression and how unbelievably tired of it all I was. I truly did want out. I finally recognized the toll that this pattern had taken on my physical, psychological and spiritual body. I understood that I had been spending over half of my life trying to pull myself out of the depression and negativity that surrounded me. Like living in an unbelievably thick fog bank.
I called Dance of the Deer again, fearing that the only way out would be drugs, which I had never taken and did not want to take now. It would be three weeks until the upcoming Dance of Deer retreat in Alaska and I was asked if I could wait until after that retreat before taking any medication. I vowed to hold out until then. For the first time I remembered the dream from February and the spiritual crisis. Was this what the dream was trying to get to my attention? How could I, by myself, change? I was too depressed and exhausted to even think about it.
Then the magical wild world of the Alaska retreat came. As soon as I set foot on that land I began to sink into it. Then the quiet, peace, calm, and beautiful practice of the Huichol traditions began. The whale, eagle, and even raven songs floating around me. The beautiful and loving Dance of the Deer community and especially for me, the children. Slowly, I began to breathe again. It felt as if I had been holding my breath for months or maybe even a lifetime. I returned home much better. As the days and images began to fade, I wondered, had a shift actually happened? Doubts returned. I was thankful that the time for the Dance of the Deer Mt. Shasta retreat would be coming up soon.
As I arrived at Mt. Shasta I saw the mountain outlined in blue smoke and the air filled with left over haze from a huge forest fire that had recently been in that area. I felt a deep sadness, not to see much of Shasta or the beautiful snow. An inner shadow reflecting my own darkness and a fear that the depression might not be completely gone.
And then once again; prayer, song, dancing and the beautiful Dance of the Deer community arising. I settled into the depth of the land, the Huichol tradition and the majesty of that healing mountain. Brant's teachings, the daily exercise, healthy food, the kind and loving people touched me deeply. With each breath I began to relax and let go. I knew I was better but should I stay longer and if so why?
Soon this shorter introductory time would end and another longer time would start. What should I do? We were sent out by Brant to sit, be still and just be with the mountain. This is one of my favorites among many of the wonderful exercises that Brant teaches us. I knew as I connected with Shasta that I was better, but I also got a sense that there was something more, something not quite finished yet. I decided to stay for the longer session. It was a pivotal decision.
The next ten days would take me back to the mountain twice more. The second time for an extended stay. What a rare opportunity. As I sat there on the mountain with my back against a large boulder, a creek running near by, the peak directly in front of me, I felt different, a sense of wholeness that I had never experienced before. I watched the sun, clouds, light, and wind change and flow in front of me. I felt Brant's presence and the years of the many gatherings on this mountain. I remembered all of the ancient ones who had been there before and Brant's words to not forget the power and gifts of this mountain. I felt as if I was on holy ground.
I know that staying for the longer group grounded and rooted the seeds of healing from depression, which had begun in Alaska and the beginning group time of Mt. Shasta. That in this process of staying I had been given the gift of a loving and caring community, something I desperately needed. I had been given the strength and courage to change my life in small yet powerful ways. I had been given the support of laughter, encouragement, and honesty so that I could actually believe my life could be different.
I am so thankful to everyone, but especially, to Brant, my teacher for his kindness, patience, wisdom and ability to hold onto his commitment to bring these teachings of the Huichol traditions into our Western world. To the Dance of the Deer community who work so hard to show us what a Western Huichol community looks and feels like.
Each morning when I pray I give thanks for my life. Such a simple thing and yet each time it brings me to deep humility and tears. Brant, Nico, Barbara, Dance of the Deer, Huichols, Mt. Shasta, Alaska — I thank you for my life.

Shiffrin's wins, China's debut set to star in Alpine ski season
Graham Dunbar
Mikaela Shiffrin of Eagle-Vail competes during the women's super G race at the Alpine ski World Cup finals, in Soldeu, Andorra in March. A new Alpine ski season starts this month with Shiffrin the expected superstar and China poised to be a surprise success. Shiffrin is the sport's most bankable star after Lindsey Vonn, Marcel Hirscher, and Aksel Lund Svindal all retired.
Gabriele Facciotti / AP File | AP
ZURICH — While Mikaela Shiffrin is the expected superstar of a new Alpine ski season, China's debut race can be the surprise success.
The World Cup record book is at Shiffrin's mercy before the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics based on the pace of her 17 wins last season.
Skiing looks to the American star in a season without a major championship, and after three of its four biggest names retired.
There's no Lindsey Vonn, no Marcel Hirscher, no Aksel Lund Svindal — all Olympic and overall World Cup champions.
"Three names in that category is a big loss," acknowledged Atle Skaardal, who as women's race director watched Vonn's great career and Shiffrin's emergence.
"We are confident that new names will step up," Skaardal told The Associated Press at a World Cup preseason meeting Friday. "The sport is bigger than a single person."
The World Cup circuit takes a leap forward by going to China for the first time in its 53-year history.
Expectations were initially not high for an Olympic downhill course 55 miles from Beijing. The area has few mountains and little natural snow.
"I think we are going to see the ski world will be surprised," said Bernhard Russi, the master architect of Olympic slopes and the 1972 downhill gold medalist in Japan.
The men's races at Yanqing in February will be a highlight of a season starting Oct. 26 in Soelden, Austria.
SHIFFRIN'S WORLD
Shiffrin's 2018-19 season was remarkable. Her third straight overall World Cup title was a procession of 17 wins in 26 races. She added two gold medals and a bronze at the biennial world championships.
Only careful management of Shiffrin's race schedule saved the all-time World Cup points record set by Tina Maze in 2014. That 2,414 tally seems within sight in a 42-race schedule.
Still, it's not her main target, the U.S. team's Alpine director Jesse Hunt told The AP. "Her goal is to win races, and she is comfortable with the workload."
Shiffrin now has 60 World Cup wins, fifth most all-time. It's likely only Vonn (82) and Ingmar Stenmark (86) will be left to chase next season.
Greatness is best seen in a rivalry, and Shiffrin now has that with Petra Vlhova.
The Slovak racer, aged 24 like Shiffrin, won five World Cup races last season and took three medals home from the worlds, including giant slalom gold.
"I think it's a very healthy one," Skaardal said of their duel. "They have a huge respect for each other."
AFTER MARCEL
Men's skiing had the same World Cup champion for eight seasons. Hirscher opted last month to stop in peak condition at age 30 to enjoy family life in Austria.
The two rivals who most often shared Hirscher's slalom and giant slalom podiums start favored to succeed him.
Alexis Pinturault and Henrik Kristoffersen are suited by a 46-event World Cup program weighted against speed racers.
Pinturault posted a video message to Hirscher last month, acknowledging: "Because of you and thanks to you I became a much better athlete."
The 28-year-old Frenchman has prepared with the kind of bigger entourage designed for a champion.
"He has to have a good start to the season," said Didier Defago, the 2010 Olympic downhill champion, who predicts the same extra pressure on Kristoffersen now both are expected to achieve more.
BREAKOUT STARS?
With 12 men's slaloms, Pinturault could be denied points by his teammate Clement Noel, part of a taller new generation of racers.
Noel, the 2018 junior world champion, won three times last season.
Swiss prospect Marco Odermatt won three junior world titles in 2018, and was on the podium at two World Cup giant slaloms in March.
Another junior world champion, Alice Robinson of New Zealand, was 17 when finishing runner-up to Shiffrin at the final World Cup giant slalom in March.
With Vonn retired and Laurenne Ross taking a year off after injuries, the U.S. gets two healthy racers back in the speed team.
Alice McKennis, third in her previous downhill 18 months ago, and Jacqueline Wiles both missed last season, U.S. Alpine director Jesse Hunt noted.
Veteran Ted Ligety will help mentor a men's roster getting overdue reinforcement in technical races.
River Radamus and Luke Winters, junior world medalists who have won on the second-tier North American circuit, are tabbed to step up.
"They need to make that jump this year," said Hunt, targeting top-15 finishes initially.
In downhill, Bryce Bennett is aiming for the podium after a run of top-5 places.
LACK OF SPEED
The International Ski Federation is concerned about too few racers in women's World Cup downhills. The problem runs deeper in youth racing.
Women's race director Peter Gerdol, in his debut season, aims for fewer injuries on safer courses.
Race organizers will cut the height and length of jumps — "to let the racers get a little bit more confident. Then we can build it up again," Gerdol said.
CHINA'S PLAN
Some thought China's 2022 Olympics bid was a test for the 2026 campaign.
Instead, European candidates melted away and Beijing is now less than 2 ½ years from hosting.
Artificial snow will start to be sprayed next month on the slope staging men's downhill and super-G World Cup races on Feb. 15-16.
A second Olympic slope, being built nearby for slalom and giant slalom, is still "a construction site" this season, Skaardal said.
Defago, the assistant to course designer Russi, describes a challenging course with "four big jumps, two steep parts, a dramatic passage at the end."
It should time at around 1 minute, 55 seconds and be more testing like the 2014 Sochi Olympic course than the 2018 one in Pyeongchang.
The women have their speed test races at Yanqing in 2021.

A contemporary spin on the jungle theme using white giraffes and multi colored circles. This room was designed for either a girl or a boy (we didn't know what were having so we designed it for either). Once our baby boy was born we played up on the color blue by adding blue curtains and blue storage boxes.
Instead of using the circle decals for a boder as indicated on the instructions, I decided to lump them in one corner giving them a fun falling effect.
I was able to find the style on clearance and found that using round decals look much cleaner than trying to paint the circles. I used a neutral wall color and played up the fun colors in the decals and accessories.
That is very beautiful :), my baby has the same crib.
You are an amazing designer! That little one is really lucky to have a parent that puts so much thought into his life.
Not to sound criminal, but I do wish I could go there and steal all those giraffe and circles away! I love the rug, and the bedding and the decal. And the giraffe mobile as well! Where did you get all these???
Thanks so much for all of your nice comments! My husband and I really enjoyed putting this room together.
This is a Carter brand just look up Carters Tall Tales bedding and you will find this set. Enjoy!
i am using the same bedding! i love what you did with the circles! where did you find those??!?


It's time to remove your Exoray assassinating equipment. You won't see them around here. These floors don't have anything quite as irritating, but they do house one new monster I haven't quite figured out. The Duelist reacts to either magic or physical attacks. It seems random which he reacts to, and you don't have much of a chance to figure out which without one or two of your characters being counterattacked with Strong Attack for at least 9,000 points of damage.
You do have a slim chance of running into a trio of Soul Eaters. You may want to keep an Artemis Bow or two at the ready.
Ignore the stairs in front of you. They don't lead to any treasure. Instead walk to the east and under that giant waterfall. Sputter a bit and keep walking to the east. Descend the stairs at the end. No treasure in sight yet. Walk to the west and go down some more stairs. Turn east and march some more. Run down the stairs when you notice the treasure chest on the next floor. Open the chest for another Cottage. There is a consecrated circle in your future, so try not to grumble too much. Take the stairs just to the south of you and run up to the treasure chest at the bottom of them with renewed vigor. Use your skeleton key on the lock and marvel at another bit of Advance only finery: the Royal Crown. This gaudy helm raises both your def and mdef by 13. It also increases mpwr by 1 for that added zing to your spellcasting. And it raises your agi by one so you get to land your punches a wee bit quicker. Couple that with a 5% evd and a 10% mevd and you've got yourself a pretty good hat.
Skip down the next set of stairs and walk west. Ignore the next set of stairs going up to another level. They don't lead to anything. You've plucked all of the treasure from this room. Trudge down the next set of stairs and then walk all the way east. Begin your descent on those stairs. They dump you out onto the next floor.
You have more stairs to contend with. Walk forward and down the stairs below you. You are probably wondering what the heck that sparkly thing is in front of the door. You can examine it, but you won't learn much. "It's been sealed by powerful magic. Still, the switch to remove the magical barrier must be around here somewhere…" I wasn't aware magical barriers were removed using switches, but at least you know what to look for. Before we start to look for that switch though, we are off in search of more loot. Walk east and down the stairs.
Head west From the treasure room stairs and keep going until you spy a southern passage and—a switch! I know, you are excited, thinking that maybe this is the aforementioned switch that removes the magical barrier from the door. Press it. The waterfall next to it stops for a moment. It doesn't quite remove the magical barrier you were thinking of. You can still wander through the water and take the Coral Ring out of the chest to the west of it. If you try going north and passing under the waterful (which is so easily accomplished with every other waterfall in this world) you will be forcibly driven back down here. You need to press the switch to stop the water and then Sprint (yes the ability) up and west as quickly as your stubby legs will carry you. It took me a few tries to get through it. Manual dexterity is not my forte else this would be a walkthrough for Mortal Kombat. If you (like me) need a few tries to get your timing right, you may want to give someone the Read Ahead ability, because those Duelists are unforgiving when you whine at them about messing up your sprinting. When you finally make it across, all that is left to do is exit the area into the next cave.
There is a consecrated circle close by. If I were you I would be rather desperate for one right about now. Walk north from the entrance and up around the semi-circle. At its zenith is a treasure chest. I guess you have time to pick up one treasure before you save. Open the chest and behold the Longinus. This, um, long, spear is the strongest one in the game. Its 132 atk far surpasses the Dragon Lance's 119. Granted it doesn't do anything special unlike the Shinryu killing Dragon Lances, but it does have a nasty point. With the Longinus in your possession it is time to save!
Tiptoe north through the door in the middle of the waterfall and behold the majesty of the sparkling circle. You can finally use one of the many Cottages you have collected on you way here. With that done, you have a bit of exploring to do.
Back in the Hall of Tranquility proper you can go whichever way you choose, east or west, just go towards the center of the room when you come to the crossroads. At its center awaits another sage. He warns you about some of the nasty beasts awaiting you: "To the left lurks a mechanical beast; to the right, a fearsome dragon. Choose a path, or go beneath, where he who would thrust the world into darkest despair rests. If you truly wish to go forward, you must defeat he who is locked in the dungeons of the Sealed Temple. Defeat him and all barriers to your progress will fall." So you have another choice to make. You can go take on Omega Mk. II. Or you can trudge back to the Sealed Temple and give the Archeodemon a whirl. My choice for the moment is to go for Archeodemon.
If you wander about this room a little more, you will find a strange foggy pulsing thing to the south. Touch it to learn that it is another warp point that has a magical barrier surrounding it. When you defeat Archeodemon the barrier will lift and you will be able to warp to Lethe Court, Enuo's demesne.
You have a bit of a journey in front of you. If you are fed up with random battles, equip the Read Ahead ability to reduce their frequency. Exit this room the way you came in (to the left remember is Omega Mk. II, we're coming back to him later) and run. The waterfall in B2 will shoot you down to the ground. That's ok. Get the water out of your ears before you run north and east, up the first set of stairs you see, up the next staircase, and up the final staircase back to B1.
At the top of the staircase head west. Run under the wide waterfall. This one is gentler than the one in B2. I promise you can cross it without fear. Get your courage at the next staircase. You have one long climb ahead of you. Go for it! Run up, up, up the stairs until you reach the entrance to B1.
Back in the Heart of Ronka you have a slim chance of running into Exorays. If you are worried about them reequip your ribbons and fire-absorbing equipment. Walk up the long corridor and then down the one to the right. Go right at the split in the hallway and pause in front of the chain pulley. You are going to use it to take a shortcut. Hop on and ride down to the warp zone.
Take the eastern path. Turn north at the split in the path. A warp point winks from between four statues. That point is why this silly chain playground is called the Warp Zone. Take the warp back to the Sealed Temple.
You should probably start by maxing out your jobs in the Interdimensional Rift. Go to the final save point, then quicksave your game, and reload it. Try to run from the first battle, but the second battle will be with the Movers. If you kill them all, you'll get 199ABP. It makes maxing any job easy. After that, you'll want to fight Enuo with a party of Freelancers. Equip all of your characters with Ribbons (this is important because maintaining good status is always a plus) and maybe even Angel Rings. This was my skill setup: Bartz - !Rapid Fire, !Spellblade Lenna - !White, !Time Faris - !Rapid Fire, !Blue Krile - !Black, !Summon Start by casting the blue spell Mighty Guard (learned from the Stingray, you will have to control it to learn it). Follow it up with Hastega. After that, try to obliterate him with all you've got. You'll have plenty of money to buy Elixirs after killing Movers, too.

Revelstoke backcountry skier Greg Hill, 35, set a world record last week after completing more than two million vertical feet in one year. As of Dec. 30, his altimeter crossed the two million mark, but he returned to the mountains on New Year's Eve to log another 10,000 vertical feet for good measure.
Hill is no stranger to big days. He's done over 30,000 feet in a single day several times, and in 2006 teamed up with Jimmy Faust skied over 50,100 vertical feet at the 24 Hours of Sunlight race. He also came to Whistler for several years to compete in the Randonnee Rally backcountry race, winning every year but one.
