Message from Dr Robin Mitchell ONOC President
I'm pleased to join Helen to support the ONOC celebration of International Women's Day 2022 and recognize the tremendous work done by the ONOC Equity Commission.

Oceania Rugby Statement On Cancellation Of 2021 Oceania Rugby U20 Trophy
Following consultation with Lakapi Samoa and Tonga Rugby Union, who were due to contest the title, Oceania Rugby announced today the tough decision to cancel the Oceania Rugby U20 Trophy scheduled to take place on Saturday 22 May 2021.
Oceania Rugby Competitions Manger, Wayne Schuster, cited ongoing travel restrictions, relevant government and public health authority advice and continued challenges in guaranteeing the successful hosting of this tournament during the current COVID landscape as major factors in this difficult but appropriate decision.
"Unfortunately rescheduling or postponing this year's event would also not be realistic under the current circumstances", said Schuster.
Samoa will retain the Oceania Rugby U20 Trophy title following a 36-3 defeat of Tonga during the 2020 event.
Oceania Rugby continues to adjust the 2021 tournament schedule and looks forward to regional competitions returning when it is logistically possible.
"We will be ready to roll out our 2021 competitions when border restrictions are lifted, and competitions can be held with player, team management and tournament staff welfare our top consideration", Schuster added.

A Moderated Mediation Analysis of the Effects of the corvid-19 Pandemic on the Well-Being and Sport Readiness of Italian Team Sports Players: The Role of Perceived Safety of the Training Environment (2022)
Background: The protective restrictions (e.g., lockdowns, quarantines, social and physical distancing) consequent to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 posited new challenges to athletes practicing competitive team sports. This study aimed to gain an understanding of the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on the well-being and sports readiness to train and to compete of competitive female and male athletes practicing outdoor (i.e., rugby, soccer) and indoor (i.e., volleyball, basketball) team sports who were active during the Italian first and second waves of COVID-19.eadiness of Italian Team Sports Players: The Role of Perceived Safety of the Training Environment.
COVID-19 testing systems and their effectiveness in small, semi-isolated groups for sports events (2022)
In this study, we quantitatively assessed the effectiveness of systems for COVID-19 testing in small groups of sport teams that are semi-isolated from the general population by countermeasures against infection. Two types of group were assumed, and the dynamics of infection within each group was modeled by using a compartment model of infectious disease. One group (Group A) comprised domestic professional sports teams that play many games over a season while remaining within a relatively small region.
Impact of COVID-19 on Physical Activity and Lifestyles in Post-Confinement Sports Science Undergraduates (2022)
The aim of this study was to assess whether the infection by SARS-CoV-2 has significantly influenced physical activity, diet, alcohol, and drug consumption habits, as well as the quality of life of students of the bachelor's degree in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted, which included socio-demographic questions related to the COVID-19 disease. Physical activity was analyzed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ),
Influence of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Mood and Training in Australian Community Tennis Players (2021)
The COVID-19 outbreak has led to the implementation of strict restrictions in Australia, which have severely impacted sporting activities. Tennis is played by 6.2% of the population within the Oceania region, and is a valuable sport for maintaining social, mental, and physical health. Current literature indicates the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the mental health of Australian residents
"Pilot" spectator events in British horseracing during COVID-19: post-event SMS COVID-19 reporting (2021)
This study aimed to assess (i) COVID-19 transmission prior to and following spectator events and (ii) methodological approaches to capturing event-related transmission during the spectator return. Local authority population transmission rates were used to identify higher transmission areas, which were excluded from participant attendance following registration. Using observational online and SMS questionnaires, self-reported COVID-19 diagnoses (positive tests) and racing-related NHS Test and Trace contacts within 14 days of spectating were reported for two British Horseracing events and three Point to Point (PTP) grassroots races.
Managing sport and leisure in the era of Covid-19 (2022)
In December 2019 the world was first informed of a new virus, called SARS-CoV-2 (hereafter Covid-19) spreading fast originally in China and quickly in the rest of the world, resulting in the hospitalization and death of millions of people worldwide (World Health Organisation, 2020). The quick and almost unstoppable spread of the virus called for Governments to enact various levels of measures. Whilst these measures were taken to different degrees and time-points, they generally included the introduction of social distancing and lockdown procedures in numerous countries around the globe. As part of these procedures, work and social gatherings were brought to an abrupt halt, disrupting the operations and norms in numerous industries, including the wider sport and leisure industry.
Sports activities in the covid-19 pandemic process (2021)
COVID-19 has adversely affected many areas of social life, especially health, economy, education, and daily life. COVID-19 also caused various adversities in sports and sports activities. This study focuses on the effects on individuals doing sports in the COVID-19 period and sports practices in this period. In this study, in which the literature review method was used, information about the problems faced by fans, trainers, professional athletes and amateur sports individuals during the COVID-19 period is presented and some suggestions was made to individuals who do sports.
COVID-19 and Youth Sports: Psychological, Developmental, and Economic Impacts (2020)
COVID-19 has dramatically altered and disrupted sport in unprecedented ways, and youth sports is one sector that has been profoundly impacted. In the United States, the youth sports industry generates $19 billion dollars annually, while youth sport tourism is estimated at $9 billion annually. With youth sports at a standstill, the effect on the youth sports infrastructure is significant. The purpose of this scholarly commentary was to discuss the psychological, developmental, and economic fallout from the stoppage of youth sports that has touched millions of participants, their families, and a substantial youth sports structural system.
Exploring the sports economic impact of COVID-19 on professional soccer (2021)
The COVID-19 pandemic has, among other things, a significant impact on the economic situation of sports in general and professional soccer in particular. Our paper points out the main effects of the crisis on professional soccer. To this end, the general effects of the pandemic on sports will be briefly outlined, followed by a discussion of matches played behind closed doors. Based on the general conditions and particularities of the team sports industry, possible solutions for dealing with any problems arising from the pandemic will be discussed from the perspective of economics. As a result, we prefer intra-industry market-based solutions such as a solidarity fund or measures of self-regulation to possible state subsidies.
No sports, no spectators – no media, no money? The importance of spectators and broadcasting for professional sports during COVID-19 (2021)
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic is giving sports a timeout. Due to the risk of infection, in Germany no sports events with live spectators were allowed for weeks starting on March 13. The question arises, what would be the impact on spectators and with that on live broadcasting for different sports? While professional sport leagues like handball and hockey (ice hockey) stopped, the football (soccer) league restarted games without spectators on May 16.
Risk assessment of sports activity and the impact of economic and demographic indicators during the COVID-19 pandemic (2022)
There are a lot countries which use measures to prevent spread of coronavirus infection COVID 19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. But despite of this pandemic continues. Particularities of sports activities include systematic contact with significant numbers of people, regular visits to other countries and cities for participation in competitions. It means sportsmen are in group of increased risk of infection and spread of COVID 19. For safe participation it is important to know measures which are implemented by countries for epidemic control, to study dynamics of indicators, that characterize epidemic process, to investigate effectiveness used preventive measures and the possibility to assess potential risks being sportsmen in particular country.
Sports Journalism Content When No Sports Occur: Framing Athletics Amidst the COVID-19 International Pandemic (2021)
On March 11, 2020, the National Basketball Association suspended its season after a player tested positive for COVID-19. Within days, the rest of the sports world similarly suspended play in the wake of the pandemic. This study focuses on sports media storytelling when covering athletic competition was no longer an option. Utilizing four distinct time periods and framing theory as the foundation of our theoretical framework, the content analysis examined shifts from the normal reporting routine and how those shifts morphed as pandemic information dictated.
The economic and financial impact of the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic on the sports market (2021)
For the last several months, the world has been dominated by the coronavirus pandemic that effectively stopped the activity of entities in all fields of social life: finance, economy, culture and, broadly defined sport. The dynamic nature of changes and adaptation to a new reality were related to new restrictions and limitations on the functioning of society that were imposed by local governments.

Immune-boosting role of vitamins D, C, E, zinc, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids: Could they help against COVID-19?
The world is currently in the grips of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has mutated to allow human-to-human spread. Infection can cause fever, dry cough, fatigue, severe pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome and in some instances death. COVID-19 affects the immune system by producing a systemic inflammatory response, or cytokine release syndrome. Patients with COVID-19 have shown a high level of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. There are currently no effective anti-SARS-CoV-2 viral drugs or vaccines. COVID-19 disproportionately affects the elderly, both directly, and through a number of significant age-related comorbidities. Undoubtedly, nutrition is a key determinant of maintaining good health. Key dietary components such as vitamins C, D, E, zinc, selenium and the omega 3 fatty acids have well-established immunomodulatory effects, with benefits in infectious disease. Some of these nutrients have also been shown to have a potential role in the management of COVID-19. In this paper, evidence surrounding the role of these dietary components in immunity as well as their specific effect in COVID-19 patients are discussed. In addition, how supplementation of these nutrients may be used as therapeutic modalities potentially to decrease the morbidity and mortality rates of patients with COVID-19 is discussed.
The Use of Digital Platforms for Adults' and Adolescents' Physical Activity During the COVID-19 Pandemic (Our Life at Home): Survey Study
Government responses to managing the COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted the way individuals were able to engage in physical activity. Digital platforms are a promising way to support physical activity levels and may have provided an alternative for people to maintain their activity while at home.
This study aimed to examine associations between the use of digital platforms and adherence to the physical activity guidelines among Australian adults and adolescents during the COVID-19 stay-at-home restrictions in April and May 2020.
A national online survey was distributed in May 2020. Participants included 1188 adults (mean age 37.4 years, SD 15.1; 980/1188, 82.5% female) and 963 adolescents (mean age 16.2 years, SD 1.2; 685/963, 71.1% female). Participants reported demographic characteristics, use of digital platforms for physical activity over the previous month, and adherence to moderate- to vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) and muscle-strengthening exercise (MSE) guidelines. Multilevel logistic regression models examined differences in guideline adherence between those who used digital platforms (ie, users) to support their physical activity compared to those who did not (ie, nonusers).

Introducing Materia – Materia is an international platform for material innovation aimed toward a more beautiful, more sustainable and high-quality built and decorated environment. Materia's activities are organized around an independent and constantly growing collection of more than 2900 inspiring materials. For more information see: www.materia.nl.
From 13-15 March, the world's largest multi-sectoral materials fair will take place in Ahoy Rotterdam, with 140 exhibitors and 9000 m2 of event space. During this 13th edition of Material Xperience, R&D and design professionals from the fields of architecture, interiors, fashion & workwear, product, mobility and graphics & packaging will be immersed in the latest material innovations.
A great deal of attention is given to sustainability (bio-based, recycled & circular materials), digital techniques (3D printing, robotics, CNC milling), technical strong lightweight materials, and the return of luxury materials, where comfort, craftsmanship, ease of use (usability) and atmosphere are focal points. The latter developments fall under 'fusion', where various desired characteristics are combined in one composite material: for example, the appearance of wood, the acoustics of textiles, the ease of use of plastic and the weight of foam.
This year six exhibitions will be organized by Materia, containing special exhibits and installations from six sectors. The organizers have recruited six ambassadors who played an active role in putting together the speaker programme as well as the independent material exhibitions of Materia, traditionally the crowd-pullers of the fair.
For the Architecture sector, Ulrich Knaack (Professor of Design and Construction at TU Delft) is the ambassador, for the Interior sector we have Odette Ex (interior designer at Ex Interiors), for the Products sector, Marcel Vroom (Senior Industrial Designer at NPK Design), for the Fashion & Workwear sector, Marina Toeters (design and research for Fashion Technology at by-wire.net), for the Mobility sector, Erik Tempelman (Associate Professor of Design Engineering at TU Delft), and for the Graphic & Packaging sector, Caroli Buitenhuis (Chain Innovator in Bioplastics, Biobased Packaging & Bio-economy projects at Green Serendipity).
Aside from the presentations by exhibitors and the six independent material exhibitions, several large exhibition pieces – often never shown to the public before – will be exhibited during the trade fair, giving the visitor a glimpse of the future.

Q: NodeJS cluster not using round robin (Developing on windows) Hi im currently developing a MEAN stack project and i found out the nodejs cluster module which is recommended before you deploy the the project.
I've applied it and done some ApacheBenchmark, the thing is, it's only responding to 1 worker, it's not rotating around my other 7 workers.
I've google about this and yeah windows default can't do round-robin, but is there a way to enable round-robin in windows?
Thank you!

A: In node v4.x and newer you can set the default scheduling policy by setting cluster.schedulingPolicy or by setting the NODE_CLUSTER_SCHED_POLICY environment variable. However, as the documentation describes, round-robin scheduling is disabled by default on Windows for performance reasons.

Dennis Hof Invites Lena Dunham, Jimmy Carter On Brothel Tour To Make The Case For Legal Prostitution
08.17.2015 | Surge Wire |
America's most famous brothel owner Denis Hof has invited Jimmy Carter, Lena Dunham and a host of other anti-prostitution celebrities to tour his brothels and hear the case for decriminalizing sex work.
On Aug. 11, Amnesty International sparked an intense debate after calling for the decriminalization of prostitution. The world-renowned human rights organization came to the conclusion that decriminalizing sex work was the best policy to keep prostitutes safe from both disease and violence.
The recommendation elicited a furious response letter signed by leading celebrities including Kate Winslet, Lena Dunham, and Anne Hathaway. "What your 'Draft Policy on Sex Work' is incomprehensibly proposing is the wholesale decriminalization of the sex industry, which in effect legalizes pimping, brothel owning and sex buying," the letter said.
Instead of decriminalizing prostitution the celebs recommended the Swedish model, which makes it legal to sell sex but illegal to buy. Denis Hof, who owns four brothels in Nevada told The Daily Caller News Foundation that Lena Dunham & Co are "ignorant and naive" about the realities of legal prostitution.
"I can't promise that I will change their personal opinion of my business, but I can tell you that there is no way they can come here and not leave with the enlightened view that decriminalizing prostitution is the safest way to eliminate the crime and health risk that comes with keeping the sex trade illegal," he said in a statement.
Hof purchased his first brothel in 1992 and has given talks across the world including at Oxford University and Trinity College Dublin on decriminalizing prostitution. His business was the focus of the HBO series "Cathouse."
Hof sides with Amnesty international, saying there is no chance of illegal prostitution going away anytime soon and that criminalization has led to sex trafficking reaching "epidemic proportions." His invitation is intended to show people what the reality of the legal sex trade looks like. "How are we gonna have it," asks Hof.
"The legal prostitutes that work in my brothels are licensed and medically cleared of any diseases. The only people who aren't invited to my party are the pimps and underage girls. They can't meet the qualifications for licensing."
Hof likens the effort for the decriminalization of sex work to marijuana reform, where money can be channeled into safe and regulated businesses instead funding criminals to expand their trade and buy arms. "Where it's illegal in Las Vegas it's totally out of hand," Hof told TheDCNF.
There are around 3,000 active pimps working in Las Vegas. Hof says Vegas is plagued with underage girls trafficked into the sex industry and pimps engaging in shootouts.
Hof hopes his invitation to the celebrities will be warmly received so many of the myths surrounding prostitution can be dispelled. The popular image of prostitution is typically of an exploited woman with a drug problem.
But at the Bunny Ranch it's a different story. "In the legal world it's a job choice like any other. Sixty percent of the women here have a better education than I do."
"Twenty-eight percent of them have a Master's degree," says Hof. One woman working at the Bunny Ranch is six months away from gaining her Ph.D. while another is a professor who works summers at the ranch for extra cash. The true exploitation, according to Hof, happens in the black market.
"In the illegal world it's girls from lower socioeconomic backgrounds who get exploited." Hof added "If you keep it illegal you perpetuate a criminal activity."

Getting to Courmayeur
Getting to Courmayeur is easy but don't assume this very Italian resort is best accessed from an Italian airport, because Geneva Airport is the closest. Courmayeur is also one of the easiest Italian ski resorts to drive to from the UK.
Flying to Courmayeur: Nearest Airports
Geneva airport in Switzerland is actually the closest airport and there are excellent transfer services from Geneva airport to Courmayeur. It's also well served by airlines like SWISS, BA and EasyJet. The most convenient Italian airport is Turin Caselle, and many airlines including BA and Ryan Air fly there as well. Approximate driving times and distances from the major airports to Courmayeur are as follows:
Geneva – 118km / 1hr 30 minutes
Turin – 151km / 1hr 40 minutes
Milan Malpensa – 214km / 2hrs 20 minutes
Airport transfers to Courmayeur
AostaExpress transfers from Geneva Airport to Courmayeur
AostaExpress provides private airport transfers for individuals and groups direct from Geneva airport to your accommodation in Courmayeur and its surrounding villages. Return trips are also door to door, picking up from your hotel, chalet or apartment. It has a range of modern vehicles, all equipped for driving on mountain roads in winter, and driven by English-speaking drivers. Check prices and times, and book online >>>

Get an immediate quote and book online >>>
Airport Car Hire / Car Rental for Courmayeur
Hiring a car and driving from the airport can make sense because it makes it easier to visit other ski resorts such as Chamonix and Pila. La Thuile is easier to reach on the ski bus.
RentalCars.com lets you see the best deals from multiple car-hire firms including big brands like Hertz, Avis, Budget, Alamo, Europcar, Dollar and Thrifty. Free cancellations on most bookings and a price match guarantee means you can lock in the best offer. See the latest deals and book online >
Driving to Courmayeur
From within Italy, the Aosta Valley A5 toll motorway leads directly to Courmayeur. As Courmayeur is just on the Italian side of the Mont Blanc tunnel, it is also an easy drive from Geneva, just across the border in Switzerland, to where there are many flights daily. Snow chains or winter tyres should be booked in advance.
Airport bus services
Public transport is cheaper but more difficult to arrange. There is a limited bus service from both Milan and Turin airport to Courmayeur with the Savda Bus Company and the train station in nearby Pre San Didier connects with the town of Aosta. Check Italian Railways for rail travel options and timetables.
Travelling around Courmayeur
By car – it's easy to visit resorts such as Chamonix, La Thuile and Pila by car from Courmayeur, though public transport services are also available. Good car parks are available at the Dolonne gondola and the Val Veny cable car stations, but parking in central Courmayeur is not always easy. Apart from when accessing hotels – it is best not to drive into the historic hamlets as roads can be extremely narrow in places!
By local bus – there is an excellent local bus service during the day, with routes linking all the main areas of Courmayeur and its hamlets. There is also a good ski bus service to the ski resort of La Thuile with which Courmayeur has lift pass sharing arrangements. Local buses can also be taken to the nearby towns/resorts of Pre San Didier, Chamonix and Aosta (which has ski lifts going up to Pila). Details of the services and bus timetables can be found in the bus operator's offices in Piazzale Monte Bianco.

In the previous lesson, Type system: Null safety in Kotlin, we learned how to use nullable types. In today's lesson, we're going to introduce you all to the array data structure and show you what it's capable of accomplishing.
Imagine that you want to store some information of multiple items, e.g. you want to keep 10 numbers in the memory, each of the fields of a checkerboard or names of 50 users. Perhaps you realize that there must be an easier way than to start typing variables like user1, user2 ... up until user50. Despite the fact that there may be 1000 of them. How would go about searching for something in there? Definitely not like that!
Programming languages are very different in the way they work with arrays. In some languages (especially the older ones, compiled), it wasn't possible to create an array with a size specified at runtime (e.g. to specify its size using some variable). Arrays had to be declared with a constant size in the source code. A workaround was made by inventing pointers and custom data structures, which often lead to errors in manual memory management and to program instability (e.g. in C++). On the other hand, some interpreted languages allow us to not only declare arrays of any size but to also change the size of an existing array (it's possible e.g. in PHP). We know that Kotlin belongs to the modern ones, you don't have to think about the size of arrays (you don't even have to specify it) and you can add new items to an already existing array.
numbers is obviously a name of our variable.
We can also add another array of the same type to an array (meaning the Int type, in our case) whose items will be added to the array.
We printed the item with the index 0, i.e. the first one, since the item indexes are zero-based. In the output, we can see the number 34 which is stored at that index.
Filling the array manually like this wouldn't be too effective. Let's use a loop and fill the array with numbers from 1 to 10. We'll use the for loop to fill the array.
Arrays have the size property, in which the number of items is stored.
Arrays are often used to store intermediate results, which are used later in the program. When we need some result 10 times, we won't calculate the same thing 10 times, instead, we'll calculate it once and put it into the array, then we just read the result.
Kotlin provides us with several utility methods for working with arrays. Let's look at them.
Try to create an array of numbers and verify that it actually works for them as well.
The method will find the index of the first occurrence of an element in the array and return its index as Int. The element may not be in the array, the method returns -1 in this case. We'll create a simple program that will assume that the Simpsons are sorted by popularity. When the user enters one, we'll print on which position the Simpson is, or that the input doesn't exist in the array.
Yeah, that's my number 1 Simpson!
We've already mentioned size, it contains the number of elements in the array. It's not a method, but a property, so we don't use brackets () here.
As you may guess, this method will return true if the array is empty. Its notation is more readable than array.size == 0. The code clearly says we're interested in the possibility the array is empty.
Math methods returning the lowest element (min()) and the greatest element (max()) of the array. The result is returned as a nullable type, in case of the array being empty.
Just by looking at the names of the methods, we can guess they return the first and the last element. The returned values are nullable again.
The method returns true/false depending on whether an element given through the method parameter exists in the array.

Steven Levine, MD: We've covered a lot of ground here today. I want to thank everyone for this rich and informative discussion. Before we conclude, I'd love to get final thoughts from each of you. Perhaps we can start with you, Angelos.
Angelos Halaris, MD, PhD, APA, ACNP, CINP: Thank you. This was a great idea and a great panel. It's too bad we didn't have 6 hours or longer to get more in depth about these very apt questions and issues you raised, Steve. I'd like to conclude by saying we need to help the public, including our patients and colleagues, raise their level of awareness of depressive illness in general, and the state of the art about what we can do. I'm not going to use the word pandemic because it has a different connotation, but it's a very widespread problem worldwide.
Thanks to the [COVID-19] pandemic, the latest statistics as reported by the AMA [American Medical Association] a couple of days ago showed that of those who have been infected with COVID-19, about a third of them go on to develop clinical depression, anxiety, possibly substance abuse, suicidality, and even neurological sequelae. We have a serious situation here, and it behooves us to make the public and our colleagues—psychiatric and more so nonpsychiatric colleagues—aware that we have a real problem. There are a lot of things we can do. We've got to work as a team. We have to be cooperative and open-minded. Doing anything we can to help our patients be safe, get better, and have a life offers the best gratification of my entire career.
Steven Levine, MD: That's an important message, Angelos. Hopefully this discussion we're having today that will be shared with our colleagues will go some distance toward accomplishing that. Thank you. Lisa, do you have final thoughts?
Lisa Harding, MD: Yes. Somewhat riffing off of what Angelos said, before the COVID-19 pandemic, the WHO [World Health Organization] said that in 2020, depression would be the leading cause of disability. That was before the pandemic ever happened. It's 2021; no new data are out there, but each of us can hazard a guess as to where major depressive disorder lies. The overarching message for me is of love and patient-centered care. We're living in times where there's heightened sensitivity to everything. There's a lot of talk in the community about who should be delivering care and what kind of care. But at the end of the day, each of us has made a commitment to mankind to help end suffering. If we keep that first, we'll all make the world a better place.
Steven Levine, MD: Those are beautiful sentiments, Lisa. Thank you. Patricia?
Patricia Ares-Romero, MD, FASAM: I definitely agree with what my colleagues have said here on the panel. We really need to look at integrative care. Because depression is going to be so much more prominent in the next 5 to 10 years, we need to look and be able to identify patients who are suffering from depression and start treatment earlier. One of the biggest issues is that treatment is withheld and not started earlier. That's why we're seeing so many patients who later are resistant to medication as well. Refer early, educate yourself, and please don't be scared of the new treatments we have: racemic ketamine, esketamine, and all the other things coming down the pike that we are very excited about. Don't be afraid. Educate yourself. Know that there are other treatment options for your patients, and they deserve to be considered if they're the right patient.

Just a few of the Orchids on Display at the Pacific Orchid Exposition in San Francisco March 2015. The theme of this year's Exposition was "The Thrill of Discovery", and it was the San Francisco Society's 63 Annual Exposition! Vendors were from many countries such as Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, etc. There were many miniature orchids for sale, and some that had a good scent. The last Orchid Exposition I attended had far fewer miniature as well as scented orchids. A beautiful display and a wonderful place to visit.
The Orchid Exposition is an Annual event maybe I'll see you there sometime!
The red stripe orchid was photographed in an Orchid Farm in Costa Rica.

ULI JON ROTH, DOUG ALDRICH, MICHAEL ANGELO BATIO Headline 'Extreme Cream' Event During NAMM
On January 24 at Malone's in Santa Ana, California, an unprecedented collection of musicians will gather together for "Extreme Cream: An All Star Dedication To The Original Supergroup".
What started out as an homage exclusively to the works of Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce and Eric Clapton has evolved into an event celebrating CREAM, as well as several true giants in the world of rock and metal.
Performers include:
* Uli Jon Roth celebrates Eric Clapton's most critically acclaimed work with a full set of CREAM classics. Joining Uli will be Don Dokken, Kofi Baker and Elliott Dean Rubinson.
* Current WHITESNAKE and former DIO guitarist Doug Aldrich along with ACE FREHLEY drummer Matt Starr and WHITESNAKE bassist Michael Devin.
* Virtuoso guitar player and producer Roy Z. (BRUCE DICKINSON, HALFORD)
* Michael Angelo Batio will be taking us on a double-necked trip through the "History of Rock Guitar." Insider buzz on this performance has been nothing short of phenomenal.
* Craig Goldy, Vinny Appice and Mark Boals will join forces, combining elements of both DIO DISCIPLES and LAST IN LINE for a rare performance celebrating the music of BLACK SABBATH, DIO and RAINBOW.
Closing — a one-night-only all-star performance honoring the ultimate guitar god: the one and only Jimi Hendrix.
A once-in-a-lifetime event and a historical recreation of rock and roll's six decades, "Extreme Cream" promises to be one of NAMM 2014's defining moments.
