Q: Clearing map layers with react-leaflet and hooks I'm building a custom plugin for react-leaflet to locate the user using leaflet's locate method.
It works basically, but with the one problem of the layer not clearing between turning location off and back on again. Each time the locate button is toggled, locate should start fresh.
Here is a codesandbox of the problem. As you toggle the button, the circle becomes darker as the layers are stacked on top of each other.
Here is the component:
import React, { useEffect, useState, useRef } from 'react'
import L from 'leaflet'
import { useLeaflet } from 'react-leaflet'
import LocationSearchingIcon from '@material-ui/icons/LocationSearching';
import MapButton from './MapButton'

function Locate() {

  const { map } = useLeaflet();

  const [locate, setLocate] = useState(false);

  function toggleLocate() {
    setLocate(!locate)
  }

  console.log(locate)

  const layerRef = useRef(L.layerGroup());

  useEffect(() => {

    if (locate) {
      map.removeLayer(layerRef.current)
      map.locate({ setView: false, watch: true, enableHighAccuracy: true }) /* This will return map so you can do chaining */
        .on('locationfound', function (e) {
          L.circleMarker([e.latitude, e.longitude], {
            radius: 10,
            weight: 3,
            color: 'white',
            fillColor: 'blue',
            fillOpacity: 1
          }).addTo(layerRef.current);
          L.circle([e.latitude, e.longitude], e.accuracy / 2, {
            weight: 1,
            color: 'blue',
            fillColor: 'blue',
            fillOpacity: 0.2
          }).addTo(layerRef.current);
          window.localStorage.setItem('accuracy', e.accuracy)
          map.setView([e.latitude, e.longitude], 16)
          layerRef.current.addTo(map)
        })
        .on('locationerror', function (e) {
          alert("Location error or access denied.");
        })
    } if (!locate) {
      map.stopLocate();
      map.removeLayer(layerRef.current);
    }
  }, [locate, map]);

  return (
    <MapButton
      title={locate ? 'Click to disable location' : 'Click to locate'}
      onClick={toggleLocate}
      left
      top={102}
    >
      <LocationSearchingIcon fontSize="small" style={{ color: locate ? 'orange' : '' }} />
    </MapButton>
  )
}

export default Locate

I would appreciate any solution or tips to stop the layers stacking, and clear properly went the button is toggled. Thanks

A: As Falke Design's mentions in a comment above:

Add the circle to a featureGroup and then every time locationfound is fired, you call featuregroup.clearLayers() and then add the circle new to the featureGroup

This solved the problem.
The working codesandbox is here

Following Anna's sentiment, many of us have women in our lives that have molded us into the people we are. Some are biological mothers. Others are friends, aunts, sisters, teachers, mentors, and even women we have never met before. They are female pioneers that we quietly admire from afar. For the lessons they have taught us, we owe these women so much gratitude not only on Mother's Day, but on all days.
Teaching us to respect nature, they are our grandmothers who tickled our backs on porches in the sticky Maryland summer heat listening to the crickets sing. Showing us the importance of being authentic, they are our mothers instructing us to give everyone we meet along the way at least 3 chances before forming an opinion, never letting outside influences and the status quo sway what we feel in our gut. Listening to us steadfastly, they are friends who are more like mothers and sisters who selflessly offer advice and counsel when they themselves are bearing their own burdens with health, family, and work.
Stemming from disparate backgrounds, something all of these women share in common is their impact on our lives. In varying ways, they have shared with us a piece of themselves and we have allowed these lessons learned to play out authentically in our own lives whether we know it or not. How we interpret and implement these lessons will impact the generations of people we come across on our own trek through life.
Anna was not pleased with the commercialization of Mother's Day and spent much of the second part of her life fighting to have this federally recognized holiday abolished. Sympathizing with her grief over the matter, it does still make me smile to think of Anna's perseverance. She was a woman who fiercely loved her own mother and deeply believed in the capability of women. With her relentlessness Anna has left a lasting legacy on the world and a recognition of women that is well deserved.
Cheers to Anna and cheers to all of the strong, courageous, impactful women in our lives who give us strength to do our best. After all, they have awakened in us a sense of urgency in which we should all carry lessons learned forward to benefit future generations of women with fire in their bellies like Anna.

Planned PDP EXCO Dissolution: Wanton Shadow Chase – By D. O-Ray
ohens kingsley
The Governor of Edo State, His Excellency, Godwin Obaseki, seems to be surrounded by some sets of yesmen and no naysayers.
"There is something artificial when everyone is agreeing with each other.
It's useful to indulge people who don't agree, and see their viewpoint or force yourself to explain things better." –David Sack, founder of Yammer.
This article will navigate through the need of people who doubt , challenge and oppose you at key stages in your endeavour, just like Governor Godwin Obaseki is chasing shadows of dissolving the PDP Exco, which he knows is legally impossible.
It is great, as the governor of the state, to be the person who makes all the right political decisions.
It helps you keep your confidence and neck held high.
However, in a political space, you don't have the luxury of being right all the time.
You are bound to make mistakes at important steps. And that's what Governor Godwin Obaseki has insisted in making; mistakes upon mistakes with weak justifications.
These yesmen give the governor Confidence Boost, and in PDP, that is a myth, it doesn't work because PDP is filled with experienced sophisticated politicians and old war horses.
The Brutal Truth:
There is nothing more awful than wasting a lot of time, resources and emotion on something which could have been prevented with an open discussion or something that is realistically impossible.
Try questioning the motive behind every support or doubt on your ideas.
Why are these people telling you this? What is their agenda and what do they have to gain.
You need someone who objectively thinks, not someone who doesn't tell you the bare truth to take care of your feelings.
Now, let's come to the Conundrum: Obaseki has sent the so called leaders and stakeholders who attended the failed meeting to their respective LGA to harmonize and come back within one week so that the result of the harmonization will be sent to the national for ratification.
Some of the leaders in the old PDP who opnely supported this planned dissolution of the party are Chief Lucky Igbinedion, Chief Mike Oghiadome and Chief Raymond Dokpesi…
Most of governor's new PDP members are already structuring meetings for this purpose of this planned dissolution.
Now, what is the idea behind all these? What is the motive that is fueling them?
It's easy to explain: take some old members of the excos at ward levels out and replace them with new PDP members as exco members.
When asked what would be the format for it, the stakeholders said there is no format yet but the governor said those who will be yanked from these excos will be compensated with 'something' without mentioning what the something will be.
With what and when, there was no immediate answers to this question. Perhaps a 'goodbye thank' you brown envelope since the governor thinks he can always buy his ways through.
How do you as a leader go to your ward to tell members of the exco there to drop from their offices without handing them an appointment letter for them to make choices.
How legal and morally justifiable is this? How can you tell an old landlord to leave his house to accommodate people who were stranded without making alternative accommodation for him?
No single old PDP leader can or should go to his immediate constituency to campaign about this sick obnoxious clamour that is not only morally wrong, but illegal.
Be rest assured that some will be beaten up and there will be sequences of litigations. And none of these leaders will ever be able to go to their respective constituents to ask for votes if they ever wish to contest elections.
Those so called old PDP leaders who are championing this dissolution have outspent their political lives, they don't care about the younger generation of old PDP members who had suffered to be in the opposition for these long without decamping.
They don't care if their unreasonable support for this illegality will bring further crisis to the party.
Th Brutal Truth should be told to Governor Godwin Obaseki that this his wanton shadows chase of dissolving the Edo State PDP excos won't work.
After taking up positions of the State Governor, the Deputy State governor, the Secretary to the State, the Chief of Staff, the Deputy Chief of Staff, two senior assistants, 11 commissioners, the governor is still instructing the old PDP to relinquish their positions as members of the party's excos.
Who does that? What an audacious effrontery!
Like Pa Imasogie said, "who be fool?
Deacon Darlington Okpebholo-Ray, a PDP stakeholder, member of Obaseki/Shaibu 2020 Gubernatorial Campaign Team Writes From Leeds United Kingdom.

The Eagles defeated Cenbtral Michigan last Thursday at the Convocation Center. Their latest home win against Kent State Saturday set their MAC record at 2-0 and their overall season record is 14-3. EMU will play the Wright State Raiders (6-8) at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Dayton, Ohio.
The Eastern Michigan University volleyball team made its record 2-0 in Mid-American Conference play Saturday night when it swept the Kent State University Flashes, 3-0, at the Convocation Center.
The Eagles (14-3) were led by sophomore outside hitter Rachel Iaquaniello, who recorded a double-double with 11 kills and 10 digs. Three other Eagles had seven kills each, and junior setter Ashley Mason put up 32 assists.
The first game was opened with a 3-1 Kent State lead, its largest of the set. But the Eagles turned it around and won 25-20.
The Eagles found themselves tied with the Flashes three times in the second game.
However, a kill by Iaquaniello sealed the deal for EMU with a 25-19 win in the third game.
In the third game, the Eagles opened with a kill from Erin Short. The lead was exchanged many times until the Eagles opened up a seven-point gap. The Flashes made another attempt to win the set, but EMU reached the 25-point mark and closed the game out.
Kent State (7-10, 0-2 MAC) was led by junior middle blocker Liva Brivule, who posted a double-double with 12 kills and 11 digs.
According to Iquaniello, it was the intensity of the rallies between the teams that kept the Eagles on track.
EMU will go outside of conference play in its next game against the Wright State Raiders (6-8) at 7 p.m. tomorrow in Dayton, Ohio.

Match Report – Walton Casuals v Salisbury FC
Salisbury FC > Match Reports > Match Report – Walton Casuals v Salisbury FC
Walton Casuals 2 Salisbury FC 1
BetVictor Southern League Premier South
There's a saying:"Possession is nine points of the law", but in football, possession itself guarantees little, and for all the toil on the artificial surface at Walton (and that was not to blame for the result), the Whites returned without a point after running the game for long periods against a team who, in truth, they should have dispatched without too much difficulty. One of the reasons they didn't do so was perhaps illustrated on Match of the Day in the post-match punditry about Newcastle/Man City where reference was made to "safe passes" and the contrast between the two sides, where the supposedly inferior team were the more effective. Combine that with Whites' defensive lapses, which they had got away with against Hayes, and there you have some of the reasons behind this defeat, although not the only ones. The home side can be very grateful to a loanee keeper from Reading, making his first appearance and excelling at the Xcel Sports Hub. He, single-handedly (and occasionally with both hands), prevented a scoreline of 3-1 to Salisbury at half-time.
A great start start saw Shaquille Hippolyte-Patrick fire a second minute vicious cross-shot which tested Myles Roberts to the full, the keeper making a great save, but before the game had really got going the home side struck. It will be a disappointment to Steve Claridge that a lapse of concentration allowed an early goal from a set piece, David Fitzpatrick delivering a corner to the far post where, somehow, Rene Howe, not the tallest of strikers, headed the opener.
An Alex Lafleur free kick from the edge of the box went narrowly over the top on 8 minutes, but 7 minutes later the same could not be said about Ollie Knowles' 25 yarder. On 20 minutes Lafleur's cross from the left was met on the volley by Toby Holmes, but the goal-bound effort was brilliantly kept out by Roberts to prevent what could have proved a telling equaliser.
On 25 minutes Lafleur again provided a cross which Warren Bentley could only head at the keeper, and it was not until a couple of moments later that Walton threatened again, although Jay Gasson's header well over the top hardly merited "threat". An inability to keep the ball down seemed to be catching as Shaq launched a 25 yard effort, but he made amends on 39 minutes when he left defenders in his wake in a surging run from the halfway line to the bye-line before squaring the ball to Warren Bentley in front of goal. No, the ball didn't go over the bar, but instead dribbled just wide of the far post, and thus at the break Walton maintained a slender lead after surviving a great Whites' chance.
Warren Bentley puts an early chance wide – ©Michael Berkeley
Shortly after the interval, Casuals had their third chance when a clever Howe back heel found Rohdell Gordon, but Gerard Benfield was equal to his attempt. On 50 minutes at the other end yet another great save from the home keeper denied Lewis Benson's fierce free kick round the wall from the edge of the box before perhaps the best and easiest chance of the half came and went. Bay Downing sent in a sizzling cross at head height, but Darren Mullings could not get enough of his head on the ball, which ended up going harmlessly out of play.
Another couple of inches higher……. – ©Michael Berkeley
Owen Howe then entered the action on 63 minutes for his first exposure following his return and was unlucky to have a right foot effort deflected to safety six minutes later, and apart from the need for Nathaniel Oseni to make a last-ditch tackle on the Casuals' Howe with 5 minutes remaining, it seemed only a matter of time before the Whites got back on terms, or better.
Just one outstretched boot denies Owen Howe – ©Michael Berkeley
They duly did so when Bentley scored in the 87th minute, but their joy was short-lived as, two minutes later, concentration at the back failed as Salisbury were caught out pushing for the winner. The wily Howe was again involved, squaring the ball in a breakaway to substitute Wayne Brown in front of goal who scored with a low shot into the corner.
Too little, too late, especially with what followed – ©Michael Berkeley
On Tuesday evening, Melksham Town visit the Ray Mac in the Wiltshire Premier Shield, and it is important that the players on show take the opportunity to put right some of the wrongs and show what they can do. It is even more important that on the following Saturday they send Blackfield and Langley back down to Fawley without reward if they are to reverse a downward path in the league, where they are now eighth, and 5 points behind Taunton who occupy the last play-off place. Saturday's results make the quest temporarily more difficult, but of course it is still relatively early days and the Whites could do with a couple of morale boosting victories, and maybe even further progress in the FA trophy at Eastbourne a fortnight today to get back on track.

I like to think that I've still got some big achievements left in me, although some of my joints seem to disagree these days. I'll tell you what the low-lights of my time have been though: every time I've been shot at. I'm a scribe, not a soldier!
"— Scribe Bowditch, Fallout 3.
High Scribe[1] Bowditch is the Proctor of the Order of the Shield and head of the chapter's smithy in Fallout 3.
2 Daily schedule
Scribe Bowditch is the Proctor of the Order of the Shield, responsible for maintaining the defenses of the chapter. Notably he was the mastermind behind the establishment of the Citadel out of the ruins of the Pentagon, complete with its crane-operated outer gate.[2]
A true master of his craft he is responsible for a lot of innovations over the past few years. His specialty is power armor, for which he has extensive knowledge and expertise. Spending much of his time obsessing over ways to improve it.[3][4] Although getting on in years, he believes that he has some big achievements left before he passes on the position to a younger scribe. As a younger scribe he obviously went on excursions with the Knights. Making note that the time he was shot at was always the low point of his carrier.[5]
A very knowledgeable scholar he is among the few to be acquainted with the Brotherhood's own history. Claiming to be able to fill several texts on the organizations details.[6] He is also well known for his conversational prowess, impromptu comparisons of which say that he could talk a dog off a meat truck.[7] He thinks of the chapter first, and sometimes repairs equipment for outsiders.[8]
As a moderate Bowditch is not dejected by Lyons' changed mission. In fact this new, abnormal doctrine is something he is proud to be apart of.[9] However as time went on and the lies obfuscation eventually boiled over, the traditionalists left the chapter. With the hardliners hating them as much as they do the local super mutants.[10] This schism in the chapter deeply discourages him,[11] as he believes that this ideological schism is the biggest challenge the Brotherhood has ever faced.[12]
A true moderate, he is completely uncomfortable speaking ill of either party, and wishes that they both could agree–at least–that they are on the same side. Noting that there are more important problems to attend to.[13] Such as the super mutants, whom think of his brothers as more a canned meal than a military force. Noting, to his horror, of the mangled remains of his brothers that were being pulled through their own armor.[14]
During the day Scribe Bowditch can be found at the smithy in the Citadel laboratory. At night, he sleeps in the barracks that are located on the other side of the laboratory.

The Replicated Man
The Replicated Man: Bowditch is in possession of a Replicated Man holotape.
Brotherhood scribe robe
10mm pistol
Compared to the other members of the Brotherhood in the Citadel, Scribe Bowditch is abnormally easy to pickpocket (which makes an easy way to get a scribe outfit).
Scribe Bowditch is spoken about throughout the Citadel as very talkative.
"Hrm? Yes, hello. I've heard about you. We don't get many strangers here in the Citadel, especially those who walk about unescorted."
"I am Proctor of the Order of the Shield. I oversee the others in my Order, and make sure our defenses are up to snuff. Do you know how long it took to fortify these ruins? From the husk of the Pentagon I carved a grand Citadel! No easy task, my friend! Ah, but that was yesterday, when all we had to worry about was those damn Super Mutants. The Enclave, now... That's a different problem altogether..."
"They're sporting some pretty impressive Power Armor, I'll give them that. The Advanced Mark II. But that's all right. With a few modifications, our own armor will more than handle anything they throw at it."
"They're relentless. Like nothing I've ever seen before. I honestly think they see our Brothers in Power Armor as some kind of... canned meal. Some of the... pieces... we've had brought back. Men and women ripped in half. Some pulled through their armor. Just horrible."
"Oh yes, I can. In fact, I suspect I could write several texts on the various details of the Brotherhood. But I suspect you're in a hurry, so what particulars would you like to know?"
"I'm afraid the answer to that is a lot more nuanced than others might suggest. Brotherhood members are sworn to acquire and protect technology of the past. But not everyone interprets these oaths in the same way. Elder Lyons sees these duties as part of a larger dedication to protect the innocent. Some, like the Outcasts, disagree with these priorities."
"It's a rather sad story, I'm afraid. Last year, some of our soldiers had grave disagreements with the decisions of Elder Lyons. Disagreements spiraled out of control, and there was a schism in the ranks. The loyal soldiers practically threw out the dissenters. Now they call themselves the Outcasts."
"Where Elder Lyons has fought to protect the people of the Capital Wasteland, the Outcasts demanded we move on and leave them to their fates. They insisted there was more important technology to be recovered in a scientific base in the ruins of Fort Independence, to the West. As callous as their decision may be, it's more in line with our original mission. Elder Lyons is an inspiration to us, but to them he's a traitor."
"The soldiers rallied behind Paladin Casdin, who was one of Elder Lyons' original squad. They served together for over twenty years. Casdin was well-respected, and every bit as loyal to the Brotherhood as Elder Lyons. He just disagreed with the interpretations of our oaths. But when disagreements turned into fistfights, he left with the Outcasts. We lost more allies that day than we ever have to any battle."
"Lyons and Casdin would have to agree to any sort of reconciliation, and that's pretty unlikely. They're both quite proud and... stubborn. Me, I just wish there was a way we could all agree that at least we're still on the same side. There are bigger problems out there, after all."
"As much as some of our soldiers would like to see them shot for deserting, there's not much we can do. We're too busy with the Super Mutants. Meanwhile, they're busy seeking out new technology and trying to get back in contact with the Brotherhood out West. So our paths rarely cross, but it's never pretty when they do. I just hope things cool down before it gets worse."
"It is a rather discouraging subject, isn't it?"
"I like to think that I've still got some big achievements left in me, although some of my joints seem to disagree these days. I'll tell you what the low-lights of my time have been though: every time I've been shot at. I'm a scribe, not a soldier!"
"It seems like whichever challenge we're facing is always the biggest one. Survival at first, then expansion, and now cohesion. We've seen plenty of Wasteland freaks or would-be dictators. They're not too bad, at least we've faced that sort of thing before. But more recent events, like the schism with the Outcasts... Those are the problems that worry me."
"I suppose that I can. The Brotherhood can make use of Wasteland currency to trade."

↑ 1.0 1.1 Although only referred to as "Scribe Bowditch" in game and in the Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition, he reports to the Head Scribe and outranks all the generic Scribes of the chapter. Therefore, he is a High Scribe of the chapter.
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Which Order do you serve, Squire Bowditch?"
Bowditch: "I am Proctor of the Order of the Shield. I oversee the others in my Order, and make sure our defenses are up to snuff. Do you know how long it took to fortify these ruins? From the husk of the Pentagon I carved a grand Citadel! No easy task, my friend! Ah, but that was yesterday, when all we had to worry about was those damn Super Mutants. The Enclave, now... That's a different problem altogether..."
(Bowditch's dialogue)
↑ Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.95: "Scribe Bowditch
Scribe Bowditch is assigned to the Smithy and is responsible for a lot of innovations over the past several years. His specialty is Power Armor, and he spends much of the time obsessing over ways to improve it."
(Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition Wasteland Census)
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "So... Any thoughts on the Enclave?"
Bowditch: "They're sporting some pretty impressive Power Armor, I'll give them that. The Advanced Mark II. But that's all right. With a few modifications, our own armor will more than handle anything they throw at it."
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "What have been the highlights of your time with the Brotherhood?"
Bowditch: "I like to think that I've still got some big achievements left in me, although some of my joints seem to disagree these days. I'll tell you what the low-lights of my time have been though: every time I've been shot at. I'm a scribe, not a soldier!"
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Can you tell me more about the Brotherhood of Steel?"
Bowditch: "Oh yes, I can. In fact, I suspect I could write several texts on the various details of the Brotherhood. But I suspect you're in a hurry, so what particulars would you like to know?"
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Outcasts? Who are they?"
Artemis: "I'd really don't want to go into it. Go bug Scribe Bowditch. He could talk a dog off a meat truck."
(Artemis' dialogue)
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Could you repair my equipment?"
Bowditch: "I suppose that I can. The Brotherhood can make use of Wasteland currency to trade."
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "If so many people agreed with him, maybe he has a good point."
Bowditch: "That's the thing, really. Casdin's "technology first" sort of attitude is more traditional in the Brotherhood always used to operate, out West. But somewhere along the way from there to here, Elder Lyons made sure we watched out for the people, not just the technology. To some of us, that was noble. I guess to Casdin and his crew, it was just soft. I wish they could see some sort of middle ground."
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Well, good riddance to them. If you waver in your oaths, you get punished."
Bowditch: "You sound like some of the hard-liners. We all served together for years, but now some of the soldiers hate them as much as the Super Mutants."
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Enough about the Outcasts."
Bowditch: "It is a rather discouraging subject, isn't it?"
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "What's the biggest challenge the Brotherhood has ever faced?"
Bowditch: "It seems like whichever challenge we're facing is always the biggest one. Survival at first, then expansion, and now cohesion. We've seen plenty of Wasteland freaks or would-be dictators. They're not too bad, at least we've faced that sort of thing before. But more recent events, like the schism with the Outcasts... Those are the problems that worry me."
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "It sounds like it was quite a loss. Is there any way to reconcile them?"
Bowditch: "Lyons and Casdin would have to agree to any sort of reconciliation, and that's pretty unlikely. They're both quite proud and... stubborn. Me, I just wish there was a way we could all agree that at least we're still on the same side. There are bigger problems out there, after all."
↑ The Lone Wanderer: "Care to share anything about the Super Mutants?"
Bowditch: "They're relentless. Like nothing I've ever seen before. I honestly think they see our Brothers in Power Armor as some kind of... canned meal. Some of the... pieces... we've had brought back. Men and women ripped in half. Some pulled through their armor. Just horrible."

Seguro Launches Airsafe and Smartspace at CES 2021
January 14, 2021 cesces, CES 2021, SeguroJenThorpe
Seguro LLC is a Silicon Valley start-up founded by tech industry veterans. The Company has brought together some of their best and brightest, award-winning industrial designers, engineers and manufacturers.
The newest innovations will be showcased at CES 2021. Their products include a revolutionary clear face shield that delivers a clean curtain of purified air, and a contact tracing device the businesses and communities can use to keep their people safe.
Airsafe uses advanced HEPA filter technology to remove 99.97% of impurities as small as .3 microns from the air you breathe. The face shield allows users to travel and interact with others safely and comfortably, without the hinderance of a typical N-95 or cloth mask, which covers most of the face.
A powerful fan purifies the air, then delivers it as a clean curtain of fresh air to the nose and mouth. The gentle air pressure keeps contaminated, outside air from entering. With Airsafe, public transportation and interaction in the workplace is safer, and you can see facial expressions easily without worry.
According to Gioni Bianchini, the Company's Founder and CEO, "Wearing a fabric or N95 mask negatively impacts communication." Bianchini continues, "With Airsafe, you are able to eat in a restaurant, share your smile and feel safe to travel again."
Seguro's second new product innovation is Smartspace, which provides device-to-device tracing for use in offices, retirement communities, manufacturing facilities, schools, construction sites and anywhere groups work or live in close proximity within a contained environment. It is the most precise social distancing device available, able to track contact within inches.
The Smartspace badge triggers a warning if you get too close and provides instant tracing control. Slightly larger than a credit card, real time data is captured, while privacy of individuals is protected.
It makes contact tracing easy. The organization's administrators can track who has been in contact with whom, and for how long within a particular geofenced area, on an easy-to-use dashboard. If a member of a group becomes ill, all those who have come in contact with that person can be contacted so they can be tested and/or quarantined, keeping the rest of the organization safe and secure.
ResiTire Displays Tires Made from Nitinol at CES 2021
January 14, 2021 cesces, CES 2021, ResiTireJenThorpe
Case Western Reserve University, for the eighth straight year, will showcase an array of science, engineering and technology innovation from Case Western Reserve students, faculty and alumni at CES 2021. One of the projects they are highlighting is called ResiTire.
ResiTire is a reusable, airless tire that eliminates flats without sacrificing performance. ResiTire is licensing NASA's Superelastic Tire technology and adopting it for terrestrial applications. They have two prototypes currently and are working on securing proper lab and manufacturing space to begin developing a military-grade prototype of their tire.
ResiTire uses NASA space-age alloys to defy Earth's toughest elements. They are using an advanced shape memory alloy called Nitinol that is elastic like rubber, and strong like steel. Nitinol is the main component of their tires and makes them resistant to weather, leaks, slashes, tears and anything else thrown at it.
CEO and founder of ResisTire, Igor Tutelman, who received his master's degree in data analytics from Case Western Reserve last fall, will display a space-age alloy called nitinol, which his company is using to make long-lasting, non-rubber tires. The material, which comes in wire form, has properties which make it elastic like rubber, stronger than titanium and 'programable' (with the addition of heat) to make different shapes, Tutleman said.
ResiTires are just the beginning. While they are developing the world's best tire, the company has big aspirations for the future. They plan to continue to use Nitinol and other shape memory alloys in other systems components. ResisTire's goal right now is to reimagine the wheel, but tomorrow, they want to reinvent the way we live.
DriveU.auto Named as CES 2021 Innovation Awards Honoree
January 14, 2021 cesces, CES 2021, DriveU.autoJenThorpe
DriveU.auto has announced that it had been named a CES 2021 Innovation Awards Honoree in the Vehicle Intelligence & Transportation category. The award is for its Autonomous Vehicle Teleportation Connectivity Platform. The CES 2021 Innovation Awards are part of the first-ever, all-digital CES 2021, the world's most influential technology event.
The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products across 28 product categories. An elite panel of industry expert judges, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more, reviewed submissions based on innovation, engineering and functionality, aesthetic and design,
AV teleportations require uninterrupted, low-latency, high-capacity connectivity. 4k video, sensor data and control commands are transferred in real time between vehicle systems and the remote driver. One cellular network cannot offer the connectivity required – network conditions are too dynamic, with bandwidth and coverage varying constantly. Safe teleoperation requires multiple networks in parallel – one modem is not enough.
DriveU.auto provides superior connectivity for AV teleportation, using dynamic video encoding, low latency algorithms, optimized Forward-Error-Correction and cellular bonding. The platform provides high quality video, low-latency, and ultra-reliable connectivity. It is available as hardware or software and is deployed on public roads.
3D Music Showcases 3D Printed Violins at CES 2021
January 14, 2021 ces3D Music, Case Western Reserve University, ces, CES 2021JenThorpe
Case Western Reserve University, for the eighth straight year, will showcase an array of science, engineering and technology innovation from Case Western Reserve students, faculty and alumni at CES 2021. One of the projects they are highlighting is called 3D Music.
Matthew Canel, a mechanical engineering grad student set to graduate in 2021, and 2013 graduate Ben Kaufman will demonstrate their quarter-sized 3D-printed violins, designed to fit the smaller hands of young players. The instruments will be available for purchase starting CES week.
The duo had attended CES 2020 to gauge market interest, Canel said. The violins pre-ordered during CES are expected to cost around $400, a price lower than those of similar quality already on the market, they said.
"Violins are an expensive instrument for many families with young children and those that are less expensive are often subpar in quality, made with chemicals such as formaldehyde or to subpar standards and they don't sound right," Canel said. "Ours play and sound like a wood instrument, but are much more durable for use by children."
Kaufman said the instruments, which ware 3D-printed from one of the few plastics that does not contain warning due to its chemical stability and minimal out-gassing – are also thermally resistant, meaning that they are more likely to maintain their tune after being exposed to heat or cold.
3D Music has a YouTube video in which you can listen to how the sound of their 3D printed quarter-sized violin compares to the sound of a traditional student violin.

The Stories That Bind Us: How Do We Tell Our Stories Without Telling The Stories Of Others?
08/31/2016 10:20 am ET Updated Dec 06, 2017
Chain locked
We all have secrets, things we may not be proud of, things we keep to ourselves because we don't want to risk hurting someone we love. In Latino culture we are taught from a very early age not to air our dirty laundry. Los trapos sucios se lavan en casa.
We are never to discuss in public that which happens behind closed doors even if it's at the expense of our mental and physical health. It is better to keep secrets and remain silent than to have people think ill of you or your family. In our culture perception is everything, which forces many to spend their lives pretending to be well when really, they're falling apart inside.
There are some secrets however (like sexual abuse for example) so detrimental to our own well-being that the weight of holding onto them slowly breaks a person down from the inside out. Generational conditioning forces many to continue this cycle of self-sabotage until there is nothing left resulting in decades of abuse, trauma, and self-destructive behavior. Most of which could have been prevented if only someone had the courage to speak. In her essay, How We Rationalize the Silences We Invade, Vanessa Martír states,
I've dissected these stories, written and rewritten them, sat with them, prayed with and for them. I've thought about how it's going to affect my family, my mother more than anyone. These are her secrets I'm revealing, her shame, that silence that has eaten through us like gangrene, a flesh-eating bacteria. This silence killed my brother.
Family ties are so important that protecting the family name becomes more essential than protecting the individual. For writers, particularly memoir and non-fiction writers, this is one of the struggles we face because how do we tell our stories without telling the stories of others? How do we keep the work authentic if we begin to cut out bits and pieces because we're afraid to hurt those we love?
So many of us tell ourselves that if we remain silent and hide our pain, that it will make our lives, and the lives of those we love, so much better. We force ourselves to believe that what happened to us in the past has no bearing on the present or the future, but it does. We are the sum of our experiences up to this point. We readily let others off the hook for having to carry the burdens of our narratives, and instead choose to carry that burden on our own; oftentimes turning to drugs, alcohol, and other self-destructive behavior to assuage the pain. In his essay, We are storied - together, Kevin Dow says,
Stories are what bring us together, what bind us together, what change us together and what tear us apart.
Sometimes the tearing apart happens internally. Years of unraveling trying to protect others while simultaneously destroying ourselves. I have seen this first hand happen to some of the people I love and I wonder if their lives would have turned out differently had they let go of the years of guilt and silence they carried with them.
Something beautiful happens when we decide to break free from the silence. When we tell our stories we begin to reclaim some of the power we lost. We begin to heal our wounds, our cracks, and our brokenness and begin the journey back to being whole.
How do we name our pain? How do we represent ourselves in a society invested in our silence? We don't heal in one fell swoop and then are suddenly free. Instead, healing takes time, and is often accomplished in layers; one step at a time, one day at a time. Rachel Freed says "We tell our stories to transform ourselves; to learn about our history and tell our experiences to transcend them; to use our stories to make a difference in our world; to broaden our perspective to see further than normal; to act beyond a story that may have imprisoned or enslaved us; to live more of our spiritual and earthly potential."
Each one of us has a story to tell, to share; stories that will come crashing into the world with an intensity that begs to be heard, to be felt despite what others may think of us. Our words hold more power than we think. Our stories demand to be told, if not for any other reason, than to set us free.
Toni Morrison said, "The function of freedom is to free someone else," and if you are no longer wracked or in bondage to a person or a way of life, tell your story. Risk freeing someone else. Not everyone will be glad that you did. Members of your family and other critics may wish you had kept your secrets. Oh, well, what are you going to do? ― Anne Lamott

Our Bodies. Our Lives. Photography Campaign Exhibits at Long Island Gay and Lesbian Film Festival!
Check out the campaign on Hatchfund and together let's challenge what the world thinks an LGBTQ person should or should not look like.
Our Bodies. Our Lives. is an exploration into the way LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Queer) people see themselves and how others see them. Our Bodies. Our Lives asks the viewer to challenge what they think an LGBTQ person should or should not look like. The project will use the funds to engage the viewer in a new way. There is no one way to interpret the artwork. We're bringing revolutionary art off of the walls and onto our bodies!
"I also hope to bring this piece of artwork to low-income and rural communities where access to queer art is rare. The Southeastern United States does not see much art about queer people. I am asking you to help me change that" said Steven Romeo, founder, The Change Project.
This project is paired with our national storytelling campaigns "Our Voices Matter" and "My Pronouns Matter" to ensure the lives and stories of LGBTQ people from all walks of life are being told. By supporting LGBTQ people through highly-visible campaigns, we counteract stigma and prejudice against LGBTQ people. By sharing the stories of individuals of diverse backgrounds, we seek to destabilize the societal obstacles for LGBTQ people of multiple, concomitant identities.
The Change Project is asking people to back them, to back LGBTQ adults and youth, in creating dialogue around LGBTQ identities. By supporting LGBTQ people through highly-visible campaigns, we counteract stigma and prejudice against LGBTQ people. By sharing the stories of individuals of diverse backgrounds, we seek to destabilize the societal obstacles for LGBTQ people of multiple, concomitant identities. Funding is needed to travel around the Southeastern United States to photograph subjects and to collect their stories. With each of these photographs the participant will write 150 words about the word they selected.
Since 2012, The Change Project has sought to to transform discrimination against marginalized groups into acceptance for all people through the art of photography, social media campaigns, and partnerships with anti-bullying organizations.
Head to their fundraising page on Hatchfund and back them now!
Just shop online at places like Hobby Lobby and Kmart to automatically support The Change Project.

Eddie Bernice Johnson was born on December 3, 1934 in Waco, Texas. She earned a Nursing Certificate from St. Mary's College in 1955, a BS in Nursing from Texas Christian University in 1967, and an MPA from Southern Methodist University in 1976. Thereafter, Johnson worked variously as a regional director in the U.S. Department of Health, Education & Welfare; a psychiatric nurse at a Veterans' Administration Hospital; the head of a consulting and airport-concession management firm; and a board-of-directors member with Sunbelt National Bank.
Johnson, a Democrat, served in both the Texas House of Representatives (1972-86) and the Texas State Senate (1986-92) prior to her 1993 election to the U.S. Congress, where she has represented Texas's 30th District ever since. Johnson is a member of both the Congressional Black Caucus and the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and in the mid-2000s she belonged also to the Out of Iraq Congressional Caucus. Among her most stalwart political supporters have been the AFL-CIO, EMILY's List, J Street, the Progressive Democrats of America, and the Sierra Club. For details about Rep. Johnson's voting record on a range of key issues, click here.
When the House of Representatives voted by a 345-75 margin to defund the notoriously corrupt community organization ACORN in September 2009, Johnson was one of the 75—all Democrats—who voted to continue funding the group. For a list of other legislators who voted as Johnson did, click here.
In 2009 Johnson co-sponsored the Community Reinvestment Modernization Act (CRMA), whose purpose was "to close the wealth gap in the United States" by increasing "home ownership and small business ownership for low- and moderate-income borrowers and persons of color." Specifically, the legislation sought to apply lower lending standards not only to low-income, underqualified borrowers, but to any nonwhite minorities regardless of income. The original Community Reinvestment Act, which was a predominant cause of the disastrous housing-market crisis and economic meltdown of 2008, had pursued precisely these same objectives.
In August 2010, it was learned that from 2005-09 Johnson had illegally given her own relatives large sums of money from a Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) program that annually provides each CBC member with $10,000 that is to be awarded, in the form of scholarships, to deserving students in the member's district. The Fund explicitly bars any of this money from being given to the relatives of anyone connected to the CBC or the CBCF—i.e., members of the Caucus, members of the Foundation, or aides of those members. Ignoring this prohibition, Johnson awarded 23 separate scholarships—with an aggregate value of more than $25,000—to her two grandsons, her two great-nephews, and the children of her Dallas district director, Rod Givens. Moreover, none of those recipients lived or studied in Johnson's district. When news of Johnson's malfeasance became public, she pledged to quickly repay to CBCF all of the scholarship money she had given to those recipients.
In a December 2012 interview regarding the so-called "fiscal cliff" budget negotiations that were ongoing at the time, Fox News anchor Neil Cavuto—noting that the only solutions Rep. Johnson would discuss were various forms of "revenue generation" (i.e., tax increases)—repeatedly implored the congresswoman to specify at least one budget item that she would be in favor of cutting. "If you'd shut up for just a second, I would try," an angry Johnson retorted. But in the end, she was unable to name even a single cut she would support.
In January 2015, Johnson objected strenuously when Republican House Speaker John Boehner—without first asking President Obama for his approval—invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to Congress on March 3rd about the gravity of the growing Iranian nuclear threat and his "profound disagreement" with the deal that the Obama Administration was pursuing with Iran. Johnson was one of numerous CBC members who announced that because of Netanyahu's act of "disrespect" against Obama, they would be boycotting the speech.

Deputy FM: Iran Sees No Reason to Keep to JCPOA
Created on Monday, 24 June 2019 08:09 | Published Date | | Hits: 186
TEHRAN – Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Seyed Abbas Araqchi said the Europeans' failure to fulfill their commitments under the 2015 Iran nuclear deal has left Iran with no choice but to stop honoring its obligations.
Less than two weeks before Iran's 60-day deadline for balancing the nuclear deal in accordance with the Article 36 of the agreement, British Deputy Foreign Secretary for the Middle East Andrew Murrison visited Tehran on Sunday, and held a meeting with Araqchi.
In the meeting, Murrison reaffirmed what he called his government's commitment to the nuclear accord, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and said, "The UK is determined to bring the INSTEX financial channel into operation as soon as possible." He also called for a continuation of Iran's full commitment to the JCPOA, Tasnim News reported.
In response, Iran's deputy foreign minister highlighted the European countries' procrastination and failure to honor their commitments under the JCPOA, saying, "Sadly, there is no balance between our obligations and rights under the JCPOA; therefore, there remains no more reason for Iran to continue honoring the JCPOA."
"We are convinced that Europe's lack of commitment to its JCPOA undertakings was not because of incapability, but lack of determination. Europe is not ready to pay any cost for preserving the JCPOA. European companies dare not to disobey the US Treasury Department's orders, which means Europe's lack of sovereignty, even inside its own borders," Araqchi added.
"The decision to scale down Iran's commitments under the JCPOA is a national and irreversible decision, and the Islamic Republic of Iran will keep to this trend until its demands are met," he stated.
Araqchi also criticized the UK government's one-sided stances on regional issues, including its baseless accusations against Iran after recent attacks on oil tankers, saying, "It appears that the British government's entanglement with the predicament of Brexit has prevented it from having a correct understanding of the global realities. Immature companionship with the US' bully-style measures will result in nothing but an increase in the Iranians' historical aversion to the UK policies."
The two officials also discussed bilateral issues, including Britain's financial debts to Iran. Pointing to the UK government's debt to the Iranian nation unpaid for forty years, Araqchi called for an immediate settlement of the debts, stressing that the UK government's refusal to do so would not be acceptable with any justification.
The British diplomat had a meeting earlier in the day with Head of Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign Relations Kamal Kharrazi, who emphasized that Tehran will take more steps to scale back its JCPOA commitments if the other parties fail to meet the 60-day deadline.
On May 8, 2018, US President Donald Trump pulled his country out of the JCPOA, a 159-page nuclear agreement between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) came into force in January 2016.
Following the US withdrawal, Iran and the remaining parties launched talks to save the accord.
However, the EU's failure to ensure Iran's economic interests forced Tehran to stop honoring certain commitments under JCPOA on May 8, 2019.
Iran has also set a 60-day deadline for the remaining JCPOA parties to fulfill their undertakings.

Her mother, the former Janet Bush, is a 1973 graduate of Spencer High School. The official coronation ceremony will take place Thursday, Oct. 11 on the opening day of the 53rd annual festival in Spencer.


How much is the train fare?
but of course there's also people who can't drive, or don't want to, or don't have a car.
How do those people get around? Most of them use public transportation"
Unlike America, in Japan there's a lot more people using public transportation than driving their own cars.
specifically, trains, busses, and taxis!
When people first visit Japan from America, the train system can be pretty overwhelming.
and even when they do, there are usually only a few different lines.
Japan, on the other hand, can have way more than 5 different lines at a single station.
Not only that, but even within a single city there can be train lines operated by multiple companies.
It's definitely complicated if you're not used to it!
よく見たら10路線ほどある... / Shinjuku Station has TEN different train lines.
Another big difference is that Japanese railways in general are known to be of higher caliber.
The biggest reason behind that is the fact that for the most part the trains are always exactly on-schedule.
In places like America and England, trains can very often be late or leave early for no apparent reason.
For most lines in Japan, delays are announced and the reason for the delay is given.
Also, though it's not necessarily universally true, America's subways are thought of as relatively unpleasant.
The common image is of graffiti, broken seats, and homeless people.
Of course you'll see raucous drunk people and the like on Japanese trains, but it's an exception to the norm.
クマネズミもたまにいる。 / Also sometimes there's rats.
When talking about busses, there's really two different kinds: city busses and highway busses. First let's talk about city busses.
The biggest difference I can think of between Japan and America's city busses is the reasons people use them.
In Japan, city busses are pretty similar to the railway in that they're just another way to get around.
Riding the bus in America, though, can sometimes come with an image of being poor.
Essentially the thought process is that if you could afford a car, you wouldn't be riding the bus.
In other words, some people in the States think of taking the bus as something you only do if you HAVE to.
There aren't a lot of huge differences between highway busses either, but it seems like they're probably used a lot less in the US.
It's not out of the ordinary to not own a car in Japan, so highway busses can be pretty convenient when you want to go somewhere far away.
In America, though, a good number of people already own a car and just use that for long-distance travel.
On top of that, the country is so big that it can take a bus tens of hours to get between cities, so usually taking a plane is a better option.
Another small difference is that in Japan there are ladies-only highway busses, as well as seating policies designed to put women more at-ease.
こんなバス、アメリカには絶対に無いと思います。 / I don't think there're any busses in America like this.
Not unlike American subways, American taxis don't exactly have the prettiest image.
Until recent years you couldn't always expect that your taxi driver cleans his car all too often.
even if you don't say a word back to them.
こういうタクシーもたまにはあります。 / Sometimes you'll even run into a taxi like this.
The flip side of the coin is that Japanese taxis are a heck of a lot more expensive.
I haven't calculated actual figures, but prices seem to be about three times higher here than in the US.
Late night is the prime time for Japanese cab drivers, because most if you miss your last train you don't have any other way to get home.
Also unlike America, most Japanese taxi drivers are pretty taciturn.
A US cab driver might do something like call a friend while they have a fare, but that would pretty much never happen in Japan from what I can tell.
This is "traffic system" by Bubble-B. It's about preventing congestion on trains, busses, and the like.
By the way, I was recently a guest on Bubble-B and m1dy's "これ、食えますか?" podcast, so check it out if you have a chance.
In America, if you don't have a car it can be tough to get out to see your friends.
But in Japan, you can get pretty much anywhere even without a car, it's pretty great.
That being said, driving itself is pretty fun so I'll hopefully get a car here at some point in the future.

United States | The killings at Fort Hood
After the rampage
The shock is subsiding, but the questions are only beginning
Nov 12th 2009 | Fort hood, texas
Looking for answers
ON NOVEMBER 8th, a cold and rainy Sunday night, the First Baptist Church of Killeen held a prayer service to commemorate the victims of army major Nidal Malik Hasan's murderous rampage at Fort Hood three days earlier. Thirteen people, 12 of them soldiers, had been killed, and dozens more wounded. After the prayers an army wife, with her husband deployed in Iraq, stood at the back of the sanctuary rocking her baby. "I want some answers," she said. How had this happened, and how could the army make sure it would never happen again?
As the shock of the attack subsides, other feelings are welling up, including confusion, sadness, anger and disgust. It is hard to imagine that an army officer, and a psychiatrist no less, could launch such an attack. But in Major Hasan's case there were signs of mental disturbance and a turn to religious extremism. Americans are now wondering what lessons, if any, can be drawn from the tragedy.
Former colleagues said that Major Hasan was vigorously opposed to the war on terror, which he considered a war on Islam. In 2007, according to the Washington Post, he gave a lecture to colleagues in which he warned them of "adverse events" from Muslim soldiers agonising about their jobs. He also made contact with a radical cleric. Anwar al-Awlaki was an imam at a mosque in suburban Virginia where the gunman worshipped; before that he was an imam at a mosque in San Diego, where two of the September 11th hijackers sometimes worshipped—a connection that has set alarm bells ringing in some quarters.
In 2002 the cleric left America. He now lives in Yemen, where he runs a website preaching jihad against America. Last year, while investigating Mr al-Awlaki, federal agents came across Major Hasan's messages to the cleric, but decided not to probe further. The FBI said the messages could be explained by Major Hasan's psychiatric research, "and nothing else derogatory was found." In a blog after the attacks, Mr al-Awlaki called Major Hasan a hero.
Previously, and apparently separately, Major Hasan had come to the attention of investigators after writing some internet posts of his own, in which he praised suicide-bombers. That investigation, too, was dismissed. This summer, when Major Hasan went to buy one of his weapons, none of the investigations appeared on his background check. With the benefit of hindsight, all this looks like sloppiness on the part of America's security apparatus.
Barack Obama was one of many to counsel against Islamophobia. "No faith justifies these murderous and craven acts," he said. And the chances of a backlash against Muslims as a group are mercifully small. Most Americans seem to be perfectly capable of understanding that deranged, isolated extremists do not act on behalf of the whole religion, just as most understand the difference between people who oppose abortion and people who attack abortion clinics. And Major Hasan does appear to be in the deranged category. The details of his life that have emerged so far suggest a lonely, loveless and circumscribed existence: no wife, no close friends, a cheap apartment. There was no significant backlash against Muslims after the September 11th attacks, and Major Hasan, unlike the hijackers, can expect a trial and, if convicted, the death penalty.
A subsidiary question is why Major Hasan's unhappiness raised no alarms. Colonel Kimberly Kesling, deputy commander of clinical services for the medical centre at Fort Hood, said that she had never had any indication that he dreaded his planned deployment to Afghanistan later this month. If he had come forward, she said, they would have tried to help.
Perhaps. But thousands of soldiers are in Afghanistan and Iraq against their will. Major Hasan may be an aberration. But his outrages are also a reminder that the strain of America's long war on terror is starting to tell; and a warning that psychotic jihadism is not confined to far-off lands.

Title: Institutionalization vs. globalization: exploring the internal and external influences on the lifelong learning policies of the European Union
Author(s): Pandis, Prokopios
Supervisor(s): Murphy, Mark
Osborne, Michael
Keywords: Lifelong learning
Abstract: The research explores the impact of both internal and external institutions on the development of European Union (EU) education policy and the extent of this impact, through the examination of the historic development of European education. In particular, the research attempts to assess the varying degree of influence of, on the one hand, EU institutions such as the European Commission and the European Court of Justice (ECJ) and, on the other, external institutions such as the OECD and UNESCO. Due to the exploratory nature of this research, a qualitative approach was considered to be the most appropriate, with a focus on mobility policy as a case study through which to explore the influence of these institutions. As a shared policy focus of these institutions, mobility policy lends itself more readily to exploratory analysis, allowing for a more focused examination of the manner in which the four institutions have impacted on development of European education policy. The empirical data was generated by means of seven semi-structured interviews. The findings of the research tend to suggest a leading role for the European Commission in the development of European education. Moreover, they reveal the catalytic impact of the ECJ during the 1980s. In addition to that, the findings also reveal the, albeit relatively minor, important influence of external institutions in the historical development of European education. More significantly, the findings indicate the growing importance of external institutions, mainly the OECD, in the more recent policy developments in the field of European education The analysis presented in the research has implications not only for studies of European policy making, but also has relevance for broader political science discussions regarding the varying roles of globalisation and institutions in shaping regional public policy.

Stephen Chelimo pacing Reid Coolsaet in the 2011 Toronto Waterfront Marathon (Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon) © Copyright
12 SEP 2012 General News 12 September 2012 – Toronto, Canada
Returning a favour, Coolsaet To Pace Chelimo in Toronto
Toronto, CanadaA year ago Stephen Chelimo left an enormous impression on the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon running as a pacemaker for Reid Coolsaet.
The Kenyan took Coolsaet through 34 kilometres, even waiting while the Hamilton, Ontario native made an unscheduled pit stop at 24km, then bringing him back to the leaders. That helped the Canadian solidify his place on the Canadian Olympic team and earn a personal best time of 2:10:55 for third place.
Chelimo returns to the IAAF Silver Label Road Race (14 October) in what will be his official Marathon debut. And, as a show of gratitude, Coolsaet will handle designated pacemaking duties, taking his friend through 25 kilometres at whatever pace the Kenyan chooses.
Race director Alan Brookes has put up a $25,000 bonus for beating the course record of 2:07:58 which was set by Kenneth Mungara in 2010. Winners also receive $20,000. Of course weather conditions come into play and so Chelimo is hedging his bets a little when asked what he is looking for in the race.
"My goal is to run below 2 hours 10 minutes," says Chelimo. "The bonus motivates me to train harder and at least achieve my best (possible) time in my Marathon debut."
It would be unwise for Coolsaet to run the full Marathon distance at this point. The Olympic Marathon was held on August 12th in hot, humid conditions and Coolsaet suffered in the latter stages of the race, eventually finishing 27th in 2:16:29.
Two months is not enough time to fully recover let alone prepare adequately for a world class Marathon. But the 31-year-old graduate of the University of Guelph is ever grateful for Chelimo's assistance a year ago and offered his services once he knew the Kenyan was contracted to run in Toronto.
During the winter months Coolsaet actually trained for six weeks in Iten, Kenya and while he was there he arranged to see Chelimo. They had been keeping in touch via email.
"I wanted to give him a gift for taking me through 34 kilometres," Coolsaet reveals. "I lost the front pack three times and each time he helped me get back with the leaders. I told him I would get him a gift and he asked for a laptop computer. I got him an Acer.
"I met up with him in Iten. I told him I would be coming to Eldoret one weekend while I was over there or he could come to Iten if he wanted it sooner. He was in Iten the next day."
Chelimo grew up in Marakwet with four brothers and two sisters. Their parents run a small scale farm. He lives in the town of Eldoret now with his wife and says in his spare time he loves to watch European soccer.
"I was a runner since primary school," Chelimo admits. "I attended Chesoi Primary school than Emobut high school. I was inspired by Moses Kiptanui."
The legendary Kiptanui was a three time IAAF World Champion in the 3000m Steeplechase and the first man to beat 8 minutes in that distance - in addition to being Marakwet's most famous resident. And, like his hero Chelimo is self coached, though he trains with a small group of athletes at Chepkoilel track when he needs to do some speed work to sharpen up.
Certainly he has the ability to run very quickly in Toronto. Four years ago he ran ten miles in 45:38 in Schortens, Germany, one of the fastest times ever recorded for the distance. Since then he has also run Half Marathon in 1:01:03 and posted other impressive times at European road races. At 27 years of age he is approaching his best marathoning years.
Whether Chelimo's Marathon debut is a success or not will be dependent upon the weather conditions and, in no small part to Coolsaet's ability to maintain an even pace over the first 25 kilometres. The reversal of roles is an example of the camaraderie which exists amongst elite marathoners. Friendship aside, Chelimo hopes that the end result is a very fast time.
