Well we gave Catherine her Enbrel tonight the full amount of 35mg, 2 shots back to back, we usually break them up, but since she has been sick the last few weeks, we needed to catch up. Tomorrow she goes to Chapel Hill, praying for GOOD news! I am not sure what they are going to do, she has been on the medicine Enbrel since February. Hopefully he won't find anymore joints that are infected, we need an MRI to determine where her Arthritis is at in her body. I am pretty tired, she is having a lot of stomach pain I am sure it is from the mobic/alleve. Hopefully this summer we can go to the pool and she can get lots of exercise. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

UNITED IN GRIEF
Tragic dad-of-three ex-Shrewsbury and Sheffield footballer Steve Jagielka died after taking drugs

FORMER Shrewsbury Town and Sheffield United footballer Steve Jagielka died after taking methadone and cocaine, an inquest heard.
The 43-year-old brother of ex-England star Phil Jagielka was found dead at his home in Rodington Heath, Shropshire, on March 15.

A hearing at Shrewsbury's Shirehall was told how the Sale-born midfielder, who made more than 170 appearances for Shrewsbury between 1997 and 2003, had been working as a fitter in the Manchester area before his death.
Statements read to the inquest said post-mortem examinations had shown that Mr Jagielka, who had no significant past medical history, died from aspiration pneumonia caused by methadone toxicity.
Shropshire Coroner John Ellery also heard there had been reports of possible cocaine use in the days leading up to the dad-of-three's death - with samples showing high levels of methadone and "moderate" levels of cocaine.
The inquest heard how Mr Jagielka was planning to move house.
Police were called to his home by a neighbour, after the sportsman's cousin alerted them to what had happened.
An investigation found no suspicious circumstances at the property, where the electricity had "run out" and "it was clear that the house was in the process of being packed up".

Paying tribute after his death, Sheffield United said: "Sheffield United is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former player Steve Jagielka - brother of current defender Phil - at the age of 43.
"The condolences of all at the Blades are with Phil and the rest of the Jagielka family at this difficult time."
At the end of Tuesday's hearing, Jagielka's ex-wife, Jo Fallows, said: "Steve had a lasting impact on many people's lives.
"This is how we would like him to be remembered - a fun-loving and charming character. He will be missed by his three children, myself and all his family and friends. RIP Steve."
Football had been a passion and "all he had ever known" for Mr Jagielka, who went on to work locally for Caterpillar and had his own plumbing business, Miss Fallows said.
"I think the PFA (Professional Footballers Association) should help them a little bit more," she added.
Reaching his conclusion, Mr Ellery said: "The medical cause of death is given as aspirational pneumonia due to methadone toxicity.
"There is no suggestion that Steve's death was deliberate and I record that his death was drug-related."
After playing for Shrewsbury, Jagielka - the older brother of former England and Everton defender Phil - went on to help Accrington Stanley gain promotion to the Football League.

More on the Barbados crackdown against Caribbean immigramts
Barbados has stated that there are in excess of 30,000 illegal Guyanese immigrants in Barbados, and Prime Minister David Thompson's has proposed a six-month amnesty (June to December) for Caricom migrants who may be illegally in Barbados. Regularisation of their status must occur within this timeframe, and deportations will commence soon thereafter.
This number seems extraordinarily large, given that the official population of Barbados is only 300,000. No specific data has been given as to the accuracy of these numbers.
One must wonder if it is being pushed purely for domestical political gain given the economic issues facing the Caribbean countries. When economic issues arise, protectionism is the "easy" way out. However, this is a problem for CARICOM and the fledgling CSME.
"In the absence of data in support of official claims of huge numbers of illegal Caricom migrants in the country, and the extent of pressure their presence is causing for the social services, the amnesty, which went into force on June 2, has unleashed a witch-hunting atmosphere and is nurturing tensions never before known in Barbados" Trinidad Express.
Spam drops 15 percent after FTC Pricewert takedown
"IDG News Service - The U.S. Federal Trade Commission's recent takedown of an Internet service provider thought to be a safe haven for spammers has reduced spam volumes, but only by a little.
According to e-mail security vendor Marshal8e6, total spam volume dropped by about 15 percent last week, as the FTC got a court order to pull the plug on a notorious ISP named Pricewert. 'We noticed quite a drop-off mid to late last week,' said Phil Hay, a threat analyst with Marshal8e6. 'Things got pretty quiet compared to what we'd been seeing.'
Pricewert, which also did business under the name 3FN, was knocked off-line after the companies that provided it access to the Internet stopped doing business with it. This happened after the FTC was granted a temporary restraining order Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California."

You're taking my picture when you should be giving me treats. Hoomin, I trained you better than that!
Binx, we know you did. No one thinks of this as a personal failing on your part. Well, not exactly, but perhaps, just perhaps, you are aiming a bit too high.
I wonder if Binx can play a tune on those bottles like they can at The Sea Hag in Depoe Bay on the coast of Oregon. Our buddy bunny Racer could play a dandy mid-night tune on his water bottle!
As far as being a trained hoomin - the problem is it doesn't stick.
Your fluffitude naturally caused the hoomin to grab the camera. We are weak.
Binx, that look of utter disappointment and disgust is enough to shake any disobedient hoomin from their hangover.

Harrison Ford was born on July 13, 1942 in Chicago, Illinois. He moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting in 1964 and signed a contract for $150 a week with Columbia Pictures as part of their "new talent program". He was originally credited as Harrison J. Ford because there was another Harrison Ford who was an actor but when that actor died in 1957, Ford dropped the fictitious J. from his name.
In order to support his wife at the time (Mary Marquardt) and two young children, he taught himself carpentry. He was a stagehand for the Doors at one point and when he got the chance opportunity to build cabinets for George Lucas, Lucas cast him in American Graffiti in 1973.
During a line reading for Star Wars with Lucas and Steven Spielberg, Spielberg convinced Lucas that Ford would be well suited for the part of Han Solo, a part that sealed his fate as an actor rather than a cabinet maker.
He is best known for Star Wars and the Indiana Jones films. Although he has does many others including The Fugitive, Bladerunner, Clear and Present Danger and Witness for which he was nominated for an Oscar.
Ford is an environmentalist and an animal conservationist. He is a pilot of private planes and helicopters and provided emergency services on several occasions.

Discharge of Debtor Letter is written by the Debtors to the Creditors after the court has declared the debtors as bankrupt and released them, of all the debts. It has to be sanctioned by Court of Law for it to be legitimate. The debtor's obligation to pay dischargeable debts no longer exists, and the creditor who holds debts that can be discharged no longer has the right to try and collect it by any means. For example, debts via credit card, medical debts, and most court judgments and loans are all dischargeable in bankruptcy.
It simply is an everlasting order, restricting the acceptors of the defaulter from taking any form of the collection on discharged credit, including legal action and communications with the defaulter, such as phone calls, memorandums, and personal contacts. Violation of any of the mentioned rules will be considered null and void. If the memorandum doesn't aide, the defaulter can sue the acceptor for persecution. If the acceptor tries to claim the debt, the defaulter can ask the case to be transferred back to the bankruptcy court. The below-mentioned sample will help you in writing the letter.
• Outline the fact that acceptor is not permitted to try to collect a discharged credit, and it suggests that anyone who violates this order has to confront a court lawsuit, and the court may need them to pay compensation and legal fees.
• Disclose the names of any parties in the indebtedness case, as well as the case number, and the court where the indebtedness was filed.
• Mention the reason why you filed for indebtedness. This notifies the potential acceptor that the reason was unavoidable and not because of negligence. It will also aid the acceptor see that the cause of the indebtedness will not occur again.
• Make sure you keep it short and formal.
• Add your contact number/email id for the creditor to reach you, in the case of any query.

F for Fake (1974)
Actors: Orson Welles
Genre: Documentaries
Subgenre: Arts & Entertainment Documentaries
Rating: 2 stars from 1 ratings
F for Fake is the last major film completed by Orson Welles, who directed, co-wrote, and starred in the film. Initially released in 1974, it focuses on Elmyr de Hory's recounting of his career as a professional art forger; de Hory's story serves as the backdrop for a fast-paced, meandering investigation of the natures of authorship and authenticity, as well as the basis of the value of art. Loosely a documentary, the film operates in several different genres and has been described as a kind of film essay.
Far from serving as a traditional documentary on Elmyr de Hory, the film also incorporates Welles's companion Oja Kodar, notorious "hoax-biographer" Clifford Irving, and Orson Welles as himself.
In addition to the 88-minute film, in 1976 Welles also shot and edited a self-contained 9-minute short film as a "trailer", almost entirely composed of original material not found in the main film itself.

ACTION ALERTS PLUSSTREETLIGHTNINGCRAMER'S BLOGCRAMER'S MONTHLY CALLCRAMER'S ARTICLESMAD MONEY25 RULES FOR INVESTING10 COMMANDMENTS
Fighting the Fed: Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap (Wednesday 12/19/18)
Buying stocks now means you are in the uncomfortable position of fighting the Fed as it tries to slow the economy.
Scott Rutt
Well, it's official. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates a quarter point, as expected, and Jim Cramer told his Mad Money viewers Wednesday that frankly, he's disappointed. If you're planning to buy stocks, you are now fighting the Fed, he said, and that's never a good place to be.
According to Cramer, Fed chair Jay Powell simply doesn't care about appeasing investors. Powell instead only has one mission, to tamp out inflation and slow hiring, and to do so even if it means obliterating your portfolio. Some have interpreted Powell's remarks as taking a softer, more data-dependent stance. But Cramer countered that what Powell said was actually data indifferent, not dependent. Back in October, Powell sought four more rate hikes. Now he's only seeking three, despite countless signs that the economy is slowing and a stock market that's plunging.
Powell's fierce independence from everyone else may be good for the institution of the Fed, Cramer argues, but it's not good for the economy, your portfolio or the President's re-election hopes.
Taking a "wait and see" approach would have cost the Fed nothing today, Cramer concluded, but now we need to start thinking differently.

Listen for These Words from Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell
Executive Decision: Micron Technology
For his "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer welcomed back Sanjay Mehrotra, president and CEO of Micron Technology (MU) - Get Report , the semiconductor maker that saw its shares decline 7.9% today after the company reported just a penny-a-share earnings beat with weaker than expected guidance.
Mehrotra said that the end markets for all of Micron's memory and storage products remain very strong. The growth drivers in autos, graphics, the cloud, data centers and more have only been growing, which has led to an "air pocket" where Micron's customers have built up too much inventory that now must be cleared.
Mehrotra added that Micron expects supply and demand to be back in balance by mid-2019, with a strong finish going into the close of next year. In the meantime, the company will continue it's disciplined approach to its stock buyback program.
Cramer said while Micron is a lot better and more diverse than it used to be, the supply buildup is reminiscent of the company's former self, which saw volatile stock prices.

How a Company From Idaho Revolutionized Data Solutions: Making Micron
Is the market poised for a rebound, even with a hostile Federal Reserve? In his "Off The Charts" segment, Cramer checked in with colleague Carley Garner for the latest read on the market action and what the charts are telling her.
Garner looked at several different charts to make her assessment. She first looked at a weekly chart of U.S. Dollar Futures, noting that both the relative strength indicator and Williams oscillator are signaling an overheated dollar that's poised to cool. That would be welcome news for U.S multinational companies. Garner then looked at the seasonal patterns of the S&P 500, noting that the end of December is historically a good time to buy stocks.
This sentiment was confirmed by looking at the daily S&P 500 e-mini futures, which signaled a bounce to 2820 may be possible, and with the longer-term monthly chart.
Executive Decision: Eli Lilly
In his second "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer sat down with Dave Ricks, chairman and CEO of Eli Lilly (LLY) - Get Report , the drugmaker that just completed a bullish investor day that included a 15% boost in the company's dividend.
Ricks said the dividend boost is a sign of their confidence in the growth of their company going forward. "It's a great time to be investing in science," he said, and Lilly will be introducing 10 big new drugs over the next five years.
In the diabetes market, Lilly continues to take market share, Ricks said, and they have new drugs in the pipeline to help patients control their glucose better and lose weight. He was also excited about the prospects of Olumiant, Lilly's rheumatoid arthritis drug, being approved by the FDA in a 4mg dosage. He said they continue to provide more data to the FDA and patients are seeing great success at that dosage.
When asked about competition in the migraine market, Ricks admitted that Lilly is a few months behind some of thier competitors, but with 30 million patients suffering from migraines, Lilly's drug, which has demonstrated the ability to cut the number of migraines in half for moderate to severe sufferers, will be changing many lives. The market may be a horse race, he said, but Lilly is playing to win.
Lightning Round
In the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on CyberArk Software (CYBR) - Get Report .
Cramer was bearish on Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA) - Get Report , Ford Motor (F) - Get Report and Washington Prime Group (WPG) - Get Report .
No Huddle Offense
In his "No Huddle Offense" segment, Cramer answered the question, "How do you model a lawsuit?", by looking into five companies battling high-profile cases.
In the case of Apple (AAPL) - Get Report versus Qualcomm (QCOM) - Get Report , Cramer said there is more downside possible for Apple, given that Chinese courts are controlled by the Chinese government and the country's iPhone ban could take a bite out of earnings.
In the case of Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) - Get Report and its alleged asbestos-contaminated baby powders, Cramer said he thinks the stock is a buy, but would wait a few more days to gauge the market's reaction.
Next was Goldman Sachs (GS) - Get Report , which is currently battling the Malaysian government, which has accused it of fraud. Cramer said he expects the company and country to settle, but it may take awhile.
Then there's Facebook (FB) - Get Report , which is now being sued by Washington, DC over the company's data practices. Cramer said he doesn't see this suit, or the myriad of others that are likely to follow, as derailing Facebook's business.
Finally, Cramer said that Allergan (AGN) - Get Report is another stock that's already been hammered, leaving little that investors can still worry about as this company once again battles allegations its implants caused cancer in some patients.

Q: Select text in urxvt terminal using Shift+Arrow or Ctrl+Shift+Arrow I'm using zsh + rxvt-unicode as a terminal simulator in Archlinux. I've successfully setup navigation in the terminal using Ctrl+Arrow keys, but I can't setup the terminal to be able to select text when pressing Shift + Arrow (or Ctrl + Shift + Arrow to select the whole word). After several days of searching for solution I couldn't find one. Enabling keyboard-select in .Xresources didn't do the trick. So I'm interested in what should I do to be able to select text in the console without using the mouse just like it is done in all text editors?

A: This is in three steps how I made it work for me:
Step 1. Getting the meta key working:
Put URxvt*altSendsEscape: true in ~/.Xresources, then xrdb ~/.Xresources in ~/.xinitrc.
For xterm, in ~/.Xresources, put xterm*metaSendsEscape: true.
For rxvt, my intuition tells me it looks identical or very similar.
Step 2. Patching cursor movement
This will give you the Emacs meta key, so you won't have to reach for Escape. I set this up when using bash, and got it to work, and then switched to zsh; it still worked, but, as for word movement with the Emacs keybindings, it seems zsh and bash are somewhat different: the closest I got to Emacs behaviour, I got with this patch. If you're used to Emacs, it is very handy to have the same cursor movement in the shell.
Now, for example, set the mark with C-SPC, mark the previously typed word with M-b, kill it with C-w (or, without erasing it, with M-w), yank it with C-y, and so on.
OK, I know you wanted Ctrl-Left and so on, but that is a huge downtrade: that way, you have to reach for every cursor movement, and reach back to resume typing. There is a big annoyance and productivity drop! The "new" (but better) shortcuts are stiff in the beginning, but I'd advice anyone, just force yourself to use them, in no time (as you type all the time!), they'll come naturally.
Step 3. To copy to the X clipboard, I setup this (in ~/.zshrc):
# clipboard
X_CLIPBOARD='xclip -d ":0" -selection clipboard'
alias xi="$X_CLIPBOARD"    # `-i` (or `-in`) is default
alias xo="$X_CLIPBOARD -o"

Now, you can pipe output to xi, and paste it anywhere (works even in a non-X tty because of the -d, if X is running); to use it in a shell command, just backtick xo.
To use it in Emacs (running in a tty), I had to make a script duplicating the functionality of the xo alias above:
#!/bin/zsh
xclip -d ":0" -o -selection clipboard

And then, in ~/.emacs:
(defun pst ()
  "Inserts the X clipboard (xclip -d ':0' -o -selection clipboard)
   at point. `M-1' (the '(1)) to insert in the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (shell-command "pst" '(1))
  (end-of-line) )

The reason for this is, I couldn't find a way to hook Emacs to a zsh alias, although I suspect that is possible. Anyhow, invoke with M-x pst.
EDIT
I added this workaround to make Emacs forward-char as many characters as you just inserted. (The first piece of code below is the script - see above - that has changed, too.) I use an intermediate file to do this - though, as a programmer, this goes against my intuition (as a bad habit), but, well, it seems to work. Obviously, the end-of-line (in my first answer) wasn't good as sometimes you want to insert a single word in the middle of a sentence.
#!/bin/zsh

CLIP=`xclip -d ":0" -o -selection clipboard`
CLIP_LEN=`echo -n $CLIP | wc -c`
echo "(set-variable '*clip-len* $CLIP_LEN)" > ~/.clip_len
echo -n $CLIP

(setq *clip-len* 0)

(defun pst ()
  "Inserts the X clipboard (xclip -d ':0' -o -selection clipboard)
at point. `M-1' (the '(1)) to insert in the current buffer."
  (interactive)
  (shell-command "pst" '(1))
  (load-file "~/.clip_len")
  (forward-char *clip-len*) )

Behind the Scenes With Aptiv's Self-Driving Car Nerve Center at CES 2020
As fun as it is to get a ride in a self-driving car (even if it does have a safety driver) there are only so many times that is exciting enough to write about. So, for a change, Aptiv, a leading automotive component supplier and innovator in self-driving technology, offered me a behind-the-scenes tour of their Las Vegas Technical Center instead of another test ride. Their LVTC is responsible for both the overall operation of the extensive fleet of autonomous vehicles it operates with Lyft in Las Vegas and working on the portions of the underlying technology.
To put this in context, for nearly two years Lyft customers have been able to opt-in to getting a self-driving car to ferry them around Las Vegas — in lieu of a more traditional vehicle. So it is a real, commercial service. It is limited to certain drop-offs and pick-up points (3,400 currently, with Aptiv announcing here at the show that it will begin testing the addition of the airport to that list), but is one of the largest and longest-running commercial deployments anywhere.
Starting my tour of the Aptiv Tech Center in Las Vegas.
Aptiv Garage: If Taxi Companies Invested This Much, We Might Not Have Uber
With room for 130 vehicles, the air-conditioned, spotless Aptiv garage is a testament to the level of investment autonomous vehicle companies are making in operations. It includes a full-calibration lab space, where vehicles are placed on a turntable and have their 20 or more lidar, radar, and camera sensors calibrated every 6 to 8 weeks or after the vehicle suffers damage or hits a large pothole. That's something to think about before you get too far ahead of yourself wishing for a Level 4 car in your garage. Stalls all have drops for data feeds to pull the massive amount of information generated by each car into the site's 5-petabyte data center and out through a 10Gbit data link to the company's other R&D centers as needed. A row of car chargers stands ready for when the new hybrid Pacificas enter the fleet.
Aptiv's Operation Center: High-tech Fleet Management
Backing up the fleet of 30 or more self-driving cars on the road — 2 shifts a day, 7 days a week — is a state-of-the-art operations center that monitors and can help position the cars. When I visited, there were about 10 people and about 30 computer and TV screens. I wasn't allowed to photograph there, but the wall-size TVs showed current statistics, a map of locations of the current fleet, and from time to time a real-time video feed from the dashcam or dashboard readout of a specific car. Behind the operations center are extensive employee facilities, including a training center where safety drivers spend half of their first 6-8 weeks with the company learning the ropes (the other half is spent learning and training on the road).
Generations of Aptiv's Autonomous Driving Research Vehicles
On display at the Tech Center are several generations of Aptiv's test platforms. Each one is sleeker than the previous one. The Audi-based cars were the first to drive coast-to-coast nearly autonomously (Aptiv says 99 percent). They gave way to the BMW platform that demo riders are familiar with. Impressively, both vehicles look more-or-less normal, while hiding 9-10 lidar, 9-10 radar, and multiple cameras. By using multiple lidar, they can all be tucked nicely away inside the outline of the car. No KFC bucket on the roof. There's even a cool hidden radar on the BMW that reveals itself in situations when cross-traffic is particularly important.
I was able to see, but not photograph, Aptiv's next-generation Pacifica-based platform. Like many other AV efforts, Aptiv chose the Pacifica for a couple of solid reasons. One, seemingly-trivial, is that the doors are all automated. No need to dispatch a tech to close the door after a forgetful passenger. And the Pacifica offers redundant control systems, which Aptiv considers a safety essential. The Pacificas will be tested this year, but Aptiv didn't have a date for when they might be picking up passengers.
Aptiv showcases its previous two generations of test vehicles, but didn't allow me to photograph the upcoming Pacifica-based platform
Aptiv's Autonomous Joint Venture With Hyundai
There is no lack of enthusiasm within Aptiv for self-driving research, so it might be surprising that the company is spinning off its entire Level 4 – Level 5 AV program into a half-owned joint venture with auto giant Hyundai. I was able to spend some time with Karl Iagnemma, President of Aptiv's Autonomous Mobility group, who will also be the President of the joint venture, and ask him about the joint venture and its future. For starters, he explained why the two companies teamed up. While Aptiv has been working in the area for over a decade, each new generation of test vehicles has to be essentially hand-crafted. To get to scale they needed an automotive partner that could create the necessary autos around the world. Hyundai's 7.5-million-vehicle-per-year global presence fits that need well. So does its checkbook, which brings $2 billion ($1.6 billion of it in cash) to the joint venture.
In exchange, Hyundai gets a huge leap forward in its future technology stack. But Iagnemma stressed that the joint venture is an independent company, without any exclusive relationships with its parent companies, and will be looking for partners and customers across the industry. As far as timeline — always a thorny question for the self-driving industry — he sees fleet deployments continuing to scale. Aptiv is planning to start testing truly driverless vehicles on city streets later this year, followed by larger fleets of ride-hailed vehicles, but he doesn't expect the component cost of the needed sensors and compute to be practical for consumer vehicles until around 2030. I also asked about the state of the company's Lyft partnership. They told me that while Lyft was opening up its effort that Aptiv still hoped they would be a customer in the future.
Along with the timeline, one of the other tricky questions for the industry is the choice of sensor technology. I asked Iagnemma how he saw the sensor array evolving over time. Currently, he sees the need for multi-modal sensing (in this case lidar, radar, and cameras) to continue in the foreseeable future. Both for redundancy, and for complementary features in a variety of driving conditions (lidars can't see red lights, for example, but cameras can't see things that aren't lit, etc.) One additional sensor type that the Aptiv fleet uses (besides the obvious GPS) is a pair of sensors that can listen to the traffic lights at 120 Las Vegas intersections. They serve as a fail-safe for the camera that is used for red-light detection.
So Are Level 4 Fleets Really the Future for Urban Ride-Sharing?
Given the billions invested by each of at least a dozen companies — Cruise investors alone have poured over $5 billion in current and committed cash along with promised services into its test fleet — the industry clearly foresees a time when fleets of Level 4 vehicles roam the streets of cities worldwide. I did my best to tease out some statistics from my Lyft tour guide to see how well fleets are doing in the real world. He said that vehicle efficiency was similar to regular, driver vehicles, and anecdotally, that trips using their self-driving cars weren't noticeably slower than those with drivers (which is one knock on Cruise in San Francisco, where avoiding certain intersections and routes can add a lot of time to non-driver trips).
So far, Aptiv's Lyft fleet has completed just over 95,000 trips in Las Vegas (the number was prominently displayed in the operations center). One of the things they've learned is that passengers are very curious about the technology, and that one of the major jobs of the second safety driver is answering passenger questions. They also said that passengers have been uniformly positive about the experience, although of course, it isn't really a true driverless experience since they're in the car with two drivers. My overall impression is that Aptiv Mobility is a well-thought-out, well-positioned effort to create practical fleet-based vehicles suitable for finite areas that can be mapped and monitored. It also positions both Aptiv itself and Hyundai for the eventual day when Level 4 autonomous vehicles become practical for consumers.

SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE AND IT'S A GOOD TIME TO CHECK IN WITH ONE OF OUR PADDLE AMBASSADORS FROM ONTARIO, CANADA ABOUT HOW SHE TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE COLD AND SNOW. SOUNDS LIKE COURTNEY BRUCE HAS EVERY SEASON COVERED!
Canada is a beautiful country a wide range of temperatures and seasons across the country. Finding good conditions to paddle board during Winter and early Spring can sometimes be a challenge! The winters can be quite long and the spring and fall quite rainy. So it's all about diversity during the off season for SUP.
Yoga is a huge part of my life both on and off the water! During the school year I run a yoga club at the school where I teach both staff and students. Mindfulness and meditation are very important for students, especially in my technology driven school. Time away from the computer is so helpful to many students and teaching them how to centre their thoughts allows them to de-stress and refocus.
During the winter it's all about snowboarding! I coach the ski and snowboard race team at my school and spend lots of time on the hills! It is quite a logical transition from paddleboarding to snowboarding. Although the motion can be quite different, the importance of staying balanced is the same. When you snowboard, the position of your body is so important to carving down the hill. This is also important when gliding along the water on your paddle board.
Besides snowboarding, in the off season I am also a PADI certified open water diver. I have been diving for a couple years. I began my certification in Mexico and this past Christmas completed my open water certification in Cairns, Australia. Diving the Great Barrier Reef was one of the most incredible experiences I have had. To be able to take in the beauty of the open water was unreal. Living on a boat for 3 days and completing a total of 15 dives in that time is something I would do again in a heartbeat!
While in Australia, I had the opportunity to paddle board the inland waterways at Surfers Paradise. Although I wasn't able to bring my Tahoe Yofit with me, I was happy to be out of the water! And as luck would have it, while paddling up this little river, I looked over to the shore and to my surprise spotted a classic Tahoe SUP Zephyr! What are the chances! It was locked to a tree!
As the days begin to warm up, I can't wait for summer so I can get back out on the water.

Kellinghusen är en småstad i norra Tyskland i delstaten Schleswig-Holstein. Kellinghusen, som tillhör Kreis Steinburg, ligger strax nordost om Itzehoe vid ån Stör och har cirka  invånare. Närmaste järnvägsstation ligger i grannbyn Wrist, där bland annat regionaltåget mellan Kiel och Hamburg stannar. Med bil kan man ta sig till Kellinghusen på väg B206 från Itzehoe eller via avfarten till Bad Bramstedt, alternativt avfarten till Neumünster, från motorväg A7.

Historia
Orten har funnits länge, och har sedan 1148 burit namnet Kellinghusen. Staden är från början en hantverkarstad, och än idag finns där betydande hantverk, främst inom keramik. Hantverkartraditionerna blir påtagliga vid den årliga krukmakerimarknaden Kellinghusener Töpfermarkt, då keramikkonstnärer ställer ut och säljer sina alster. Tidigare har Stör varit en viktig transportväg för staden, men efter att vattenvägar förlorat sin status som primära kommunikationskanaler har ån slammat igen påtagligt. Idag rinner ån undan för dåligt, vilket gör sig påmint genom återkommande översvämningar av stadens lägre liggande områden.

Sevärdheter
Den gamla stenkyrkan St. Cyriacus-Kirche är en av stadens stoltheter. En annan är rådhuset som uppfördes 1908. Ett utkikstorn, Luisenberger Turm, ganska nära centrum lockar också besökare.

Tommy Kono - Charles Coster
Tommy Kono, Squat Stylist
by Charles Coster
When one has been associated with a particular sport for nearly 30 years as I have been – it is possible to learn, and comment on many things. My first meeting with the great Olympic lifters of the world took place in Paris way back in 1935, but I commenced to study the greats of lifting long before that.
The very first weightlifting personality that can be said to have had a really cataclysmic effect upon the modern Olympic school was that amazing 165 pound middleweight Khadr El Touni of Egypt. When Touni made his debut at Berlin in 1936 he shocked the entire foundations of the Iron Game with his terrific achievements at the Olympiad. The young Egyptian Colossus made an 853 total – thirty odd pounds more than the best light-heavyweight – and only 50 pounds less than the 903 pound aggregate established by the 238 pound heavyweight Josef Manger on that occasion!
The important point of this particular form of introduction to a story which is to be devoted to a certain young American athlete is just this: Seventeen years have passed since than, and at the moment of writing the U.S.A. now has a weightlifting genius who is capable of duplicating the Egyptian's performances – as a 148 pound lightweight. This new star of the weightlifting firmament, Tommy Kono, began to show signs of great promise two or three years ago, and slowly his individual poundages, have mounted until, today, at the age of 23 years, he stands revealed before us as an athlete possessing the greatest potential that can be imagined.
Kono is an equally outstanding performer on all three Olympic lifts – being a very strong presser, and an equally remarkable exponent of the two fast lifts. But just as Tommy marks the quality of his greatness by nearly Touni's total whilst being fifteen pounds lighter in bodyweight, I predict that he will be the only Olympic weightlifting specialist in the near future who will hold all three World records as a lightweight, in addition to an all-time high total.
In this respect it must be mentioned that the constantly increasing tempo of modern competition has resulted in the dispersal of World records. In days gone by it was no uncommon thing for a lifer to hold the three record lifts in his particular class. But so terrific has competition and specialization become in recent years that not one lifter at the present time holds all three World records in his own division. Tommy Kono is so outstanding however that it would be quite easy for him to collect all three World records as a lightweight – in addition to a record total.
At the time of writing this, January 17th, 1953, his bodyweight has gone up to a full 165 pound middleweight, but if he is asked to help the American struggle for team supremacy by once again reducing to the lightweight class I have no doubt he will do so – and if that happens his total will certainly be somewhere between 842 and 853 pounds.
At Helsinki in 1952 he gained his first World record by making a lightweight class snatch of 259 pounds, and before the year was out he succeeded in making a new World record press of 248 pounds during an officially sponsored weightlifting exhibition at Copenhagen. On that occasion he snatched 253 pounds – and clean and jerked 331, thus establishing a total of 831 pounds within the nine attempts permitted. Nothing like this level of lightweight class lifting had ever been seen in the world before. But greater achievements were soon to follow, and whilst these words of mine are awaiting publication, even more fabulous lifts and totals may be established by him whilst serving in the American armed forces on the continent of Europe.
About one month after this Kono again gave a weightlifting display, this time at Karlsruhe, and once again he reached the heights. A press of 242 was followed by a sequence of three unsuccessful snatches – and he finished at 264 pounds without failure. On the clean and jerk he reached an amazing 341, thus totaling 848 pounds, his highest ever at that time. One thing, however, spoilt the whole thing – he was a few ounces overweight, and this misfortune caused three new World records to be missed by the proverbial hairs-breath. The snatch, the clean and jerk, and the total were all World records; but he missed official recognition by just a few measly ounces – what bad luck!
This was not the first time he had cleaned 341 in public by any means, for I myself saw him twice successfully clean the same weight during the actual Olympics at Finland, but each time he failed to finish the jerk, otherwise his total would have been 33 pounds higher than the 798 he recorded and which was more than sufficient to win the title.
After the Karlsruhe affair Tommy allowed his bodyweight to go right up. At the beginning of January this year he was practically a middleweight and while on his way to Great Britain he stopped long enough to give the local inhabitants a demonstration in France. His all-round Olympic lifting ability once again manifested itself in the shape of an 881 total. I was not present to see the lifting personally, but I am told that Tommy took only eight attempts, and when passing on to the clean and jerk, he missed his first poundage for some reason or other. In spite of this his lifts were: Press 270, Snatch 264, Clean & Jerk 347 pounds.
On the 10th January at Wandsworth Drill Hall in London he gave an almost identical demonstration which resulted in yet another 881 pound aggregate. This was the first time I had seen him appear at his full bodyweight, and I was struck by his general physique improvement. His thighs are sensational, his arms are backed by bulging triceps and the entire deltoid area is rounded and full. As both the quality of poundage as well as the method of executing the lifts were alike remarkable, I intend to mention the attempts individually. He commenced by pressing 260 pounds, a weight which he elevated rapidly and apparently with ease. His next attempt was with 275, and once again he was successful, the bar being impelled aloft quite fast, in spite of the fact that it was only six pounds less than the World middleweight record, which incidentally is held at the moment by Khadr El Touni. He then asked for 280 for his final press – failing to elevate. However, as he received this formidable weight at the sternum before pressing I could not help but marvel at the sheer strength and great basic power he brought to bear – for once the initial leg drive had been applied, he did not again dip or bend his knees as the bar reached his sternum. This lifter is very, very strong in many respects, which you will learn later on when I recount a certain training 'incident.'
The two hands snatch saw him once again record a personal record. He commenced at 260 and then asked for 270 for his second lift. Both were smashed aloft successfully. He then decided to take 280 lbs. for the final attempt, but from where I sat the bar appeared to be too far forward. He asked for an extra attempt, but the same thing happened again. I would say that he will make 280 in the near future providing he stays a middleweight for a while. A poundage such as this, we must remember, is very close Duganov's World record which stands at 283½. The Russian is also a squat lifter like Kono, and specializes on the snatch. He has lifted 286½ recently and it is expected that the record will be ratified by the F.I.H. in due course.
When Tommy commenced Clean & Jerk operations that night he scored a comfortable success with 335 for a first attempt. Everything seemed to go according to plan – the timing and action were superb, his pull strong, and he experienced no difficulty at all when straightening out from the knees bent position. The jerk was easy. At this point he seemed to be all set to exceed Stanczyk's wonderful 892 lb. effort which was established at Philadelphia during the World Championships in 1947. Kono jumped to 335, but at last his luck deserted him – for he failed to clean twice. I don't know just what it was that went wrong, but on both occasions the weight was not even fixed at the sternum. Once again I thought the bar was not pulled back sufficiently and instead of being able to maintain an upright and rigid back as the weight was whipping, he seemed to lean too far forward.
Our weightlifting thrills were not finished by any means. Although he had once again been dealing with near World record poundages and these two failures were obviously unexpected – after a few minutes rest Tommy walked onto the platform and lifted the weight to the hang position – and then successfully cleaned it! This time his timing and action were perfect – and although the leg recovery was none too easy – he still seemed to have something to spare. His efforts met with rapturous appreciation from the audience, and this may have inspired him to greater effort . . . for he once more asked that the weight be increased to 365 and make us gasp by performing a successful squat clean with a weight which was roughly three or four pounds heavier than the existing World record.
This time he experienced considerable difficulty in straightening his legs and the effort involved prevented him from completing the jerk.
It seems quite certain, barring the usual risk of training accidents, that this astonishing squat lifter will reach the 900 lb. mark in the not too distant future, and in fact, even as these words are being prepared for publication – he may in the meantime have fulfilled my prophesy. A most unusual evening's weightlifting entertainment was concluded when he finally appeared before us in trunks and gave a brief by very impressive posing routine.
When viewing this athlete lifting I have always been impressed by the tremendous basic muscular power he has gone to the trouble to build up, and which enables him to perform such prodigies of lifting skill. As a squat-style specialist his degree of skill is outstanding- but without the possession of basic power he would be forced to handle more moderate weights. I believe this lifter right from the start tackled his future lifting problems correctly when he decided to concentrate on a program of building great bodily power.
About two years ago, when I was attending the Milan Championships, I was told by members of the American team about Kono's possibilities. Among other things, they mentioned that he had performed thirty-five consecutive deep knee bends with 365 pounds, at about a 155 bodyweight. This account was quite reliable – but it constitutes one of the greater feats of strength/stamina that I have heard of. It seems quite clear to me that his patience and perseverance in training this way are now repaying Tommy with handsome dividends in the realm of Olympic lifting.
There is a Proverb that says, "Strength in sufficient quantities will conquer everything" and when it is backed up by a brilliant technique as well, then it becomes plain that something quite out of the ordinary may be confidently expected.
Super Skill – when it is not accompanied by adequate physical power – can be a most unreliable servant at the most inconvenient time. And this is where Tommy scores heavily, for he has both. His latest feat of strength, however, just beggars description. During his brief training in London recently, Tommy performed two front squats with 420 pounds. To my way of thinking this form of Olympic training preparation is most logical. If more lifters would analyze their weaknesses and prepare themselves along these lines by embracing new and unusual ideas, and taking care to get out of the rut of routine training – then we might see a succession of improved totals among the people interested in our fine sport.
No wonder Kono can clean 365 from the hang. Two years ago he was able to perform an almost identical movement with the same poundage thirty-five times in succession. Small wonder that he can clean 340 as a lightweight, or clean 36 5 from the hang as a middleweight using the squat technique when has taken the trouble to make himself so basically powerful that he is now able to make the same bodily movement with 420 pounds for 2 reps in training.
Does this athlete possess a weakness of any sort? Possibly! It is a well-known fact that squat cleaning imposes a very great muscular effort when top poundages are being undertaken, and this sometimes leaves the lifter somewhat weak for the jerk when it is to be performed. I don't know how much weight Kono can handle from the shoulders for limit jerking, but it would be a sound idea if he used the same plan as Pete George who worked this part of the lift hard – until he possessed a thirty or forty pound margin of safety.
Since 1948 Pete George has not lost one solitary jerk in competition and the reason is – he has trained himself up to a point where he can jerk nearly 400 pounds from the shoulders – a very wise precaution.

This is my second day of reducing my blood pressure medication and I'm tired all the time. Yesterday I slept for most of the afternoon and evening, and then all through the night. Today, I'm up at my usual time, although woken by the alarm this morning, and I've already dozed off on the sofa while waiting for the kettle to boil. I'm sure it's a coincidence and nothing to do with the change in medication ... maybe I've picked up one of the many bugs that are being passed around?
Luckily I don't have much arranged today so don't have to go out if I don't want to. D will be here in a few minutes to continue the work on the bathroom and I am expecting a Tesco delivery this afternoon, but that's it. The time is my own to do what I want but I know it's not going to be the shredding because I caught myself thinking that I was too tired to consider doing that ... any excuse!!
It's raining on and off so I don't know whether I'll go for a walk or not. I was considering a pleasant amble along the canal towpath, complete with camera, but the weather isn't the best so ... I'm not sure. My reading chair is calling me!
Hope you feel brighter again soon.
Oh I do hope you are not catching something. There's so many colds going around & I get quite ansey about keeping The Peace at church for fear of those gems roosting with me! Colds are the worse. I say heed that call from the new comfy cosy chair.
Take it easy while your body adjusts to the changes. Are you keeping track of your BP at home?
No I'm not as experience has shown that the monitors for home use never work properly and just state 'error', even when the doctor tries! There's also the issue of falsely raising the true reading by focusing on the BP.
Joy, Carole, Mary-Lou, I took it easy yesterday and feel much better today. I think it is more likely to be stress related rather than a bug, but I'm back to normal so am putting it out of my mind.

2018's AGM featured a very special speaker, Matt Stephens.
A racing cyclist at heart, Matt's career as an amateur saw him win the prestigious Junior Tour of Wales, twice, as well as finishing eighth at the Amateur World Road Race Championships in 1995. Fast forward three years and Matt was crowned British National Road Race Champion, which provided him with the opportunity to turn professional with the Harrods Racing Team in 1998. The next step was a move to the Linda McCartney Racing Team, where Matt raced the 2000 Giro d'Italia. Battling through the three week race, with a series of nasty injuries after crashing, the Brit won over the hearts of the tifosi with this brave ride, in one of the sport's toughest races.
Since retiring from racing, he has written for various websites as well as being the 'specialist' on ITV4's Halfords Tour Series and Tour of Britain coverage, and commentating on live races for British Cycling's Premier Calendar and Eurosport and has worked as a presenter for Global Cycling Network (GCN).


Your post should be several paragraphs in length and it should reference specific assignments, learning moments, blog posts, blog commentary, (or any other thing that happened in the course).
I think that in a way, this class has been like working out or exercising. You start out slow and easy, and each week you take on more and it gets a little harder.
When exercising, you do not just start off running 10 miles, instead you star off walking a mile or two, and then slowly build on that each week. This is really similar to how this class was. This class started out really simple with first creating our Rampages blog. Then, reading "As We May Think" and blogging a "nugget" about it and other simple assignments like how we think, commenting on our peers posts, and the associative trails assignment. Then as the semester progressed, the assignments got a little longer, more challenging, and more time consuming like the "Deep Diving" post and all of the other research posts we had to do. But it all built off of each other, just like exercising. You are working harder and harder to better yourself, and that is what we did in this class. We started with simple reading and writing, and then slowly dived into doing research and slowly pieced together a long and thoughtful Inquiry Project.
Also, just like exercising, this class required A LOT of self-motivation. There are a lot of assignments and being that it was strictly online, you had to push yourself to keep moving forward and get all of the assignments done. There were a lot of times I thought about giving up, but instead I had to keep pushing myself to just get through the assignments.
Another thing similar to exercising is the peer help or motivation. Several different assignments required us to go read our peers work and give them helpful feedback. This was really helpful for us to better our writing and analyzing skills.

Another thing that could help lower tuition would not necessarily mean to lower the price tag of attending school, but instead to offer more money to students in the form of scholarships. By offering more scholarships, more students are able to get the financial aid they need to put them through school. One impressive example of a workplace stepping up to help is the fact that Starbucks teamed up with a local college to help their employees attend school at a discounted price or for juniors or seniors to be reimbursed for some of the education they have already paid for. Of course there are stipulations of working 20+ hours and getting 20-22 credits to show that they are dedicated to finishing what they are starting. But with all the help they will be receiving from advisors, coaches, and other important people, these stipulations should not be too hard to fulfill. This excerpt from "The Upwardly Mobile Barista" says a lot and really stuck out to me: "Across the country, dozens of colleges are starting to tap into their own data to find simple and sometimes inexpensive ways to keep their students." The "simple and inexpensive" solution that Georgia State University came up with was to start giving out micro-grants. They noticed that a "surprising number of students" quit before finishing because of fees they had to pay that were not covered by their student loans.
It is nice to see that schools are beginning to see that students are struggling and need help. Now, more schools need to take note of this and implement actions to help out students in need of more scholarships or grants.

1. Tuition should be lowered to reduce stress.
Long: "Affordable access to a higher education changed his life in North Carolina, and he wanted that for students in Washington, too," Bernardo said in a statement.
In a way, by reducing stress, lives are being saved. Stress is a factor that can lead to self-harm or even suicide, so by eliminating the stress of how to pay for college, a life could be saved.
Ripley: Thirty-one years ago, Hamm told her parents she wanted to be a nurse. They told her to get married—they had no money for college. By age 19, she was a wife and a mother. Then came more children, a divorce, and medical bills. In 2007, she took out a loan to attend the University of Phoenix, an online, for-profit school. But when the tuition went up, she quit. She is still paying off the loan.
By eliminating student debt, so many lives would be changed. Students, like myself, would not be struggling to work full time in order to pay off their debt. Instead, they could just focus on their studies instead of how they are going to afford their studies.
Clark and Wang: Your children will suffer, too, if they're forced to start their adult lives with onerous debt. "Student loans can affect every decision young adults make: whether they can go to graduate school, buy a house, even start a family," says Patrick Callan, president of the Higher Education Policy Institute.
So many people end up changing their planned major for something they will be able to benefit by moneywise. Instead of following their dreams, people are following the money.
4. Tuition should be lowered in order to allow more people to attend college.
Ripley: Between 1970 and 2012, the proportion of American 24-year-olds who came from affluent families and had a bachelor's degree rose from 40 percent to 73 percent—quite an enlightenment period for privileged kids. But over the same period, the proportion of American 24-year-olds who came from low-income families and had a bachelor's degree rose from 6 percent to just 8 percent.
This statistic is actually pretty sad. If tuition was lowered, this could probably change completely.

I chose to create a new rampages site, because I am already familiar with how it works, and I will be able to do everything I need to for my project on this site. I just makes it easier to use a site I am already familiar with and that will do everything I need it to, instead of having to learn how to use a new site.

It all started after graduating in June 2014. What started? The beginning of never-ending student loans and debt, that is what started. After graduating high school, most people go off to get higher education, which is what I did, but at what cost? I decided I was going to go to VCU and become a dentist after I graduated, but I never really thought a lot about how I was going to be able to pay for it, but it seems now that I am in school, experiencing it all, money is all I think about.
I am currently a commuting sophomore struggling to work full-time to afford the rising tuition costs and make acceptable grades, and to be completely honest it is hard. It is hard to go to school all day, work all evening, stay up all night doing school work, and then turn around to get up early and start the whole process over again. Sometimes I just have to keep reminding myself it will all be worth it one day, but will it? After getting my degree will I get a job making enough to support a family and afford to pay off all of my student loan debt? Nobody really knows this answer, yet every day students are enrolling in college and falling into the money pit of tuition.
So the real question is, what can be done to change the life of so many debt-ridden students? Is there a way to reverse the trend of increasing tuition in order to make college more affordable?
I think this will help ground my argument that tuition needs to be lowered, because it really puts into perspective what higher education debt does to a person and how it changes their life completely. It is crazy how just some student loans can completely change the path your future may take.

Jennifer Deming works as a general assignment reporter in North Dakota. She has a Master's in broadcast journalism and is able to shoot, write, and video her own stories.
If this governor in North Dakota is making recommendations and trying to implement more affordable tuition, then why can't governors all around the country start doing this? The money is there, they just are not willing to put it towards higher education. Long in his article "Historic tuition cut sets state apart from the rest of the U.S." also talked about government legislators coming up with extra funding in the budget to help students "shift the stress" of paying the outrageous tuition rates. I think that eventually more legislators will begin to understand the problems that increasing tuition rates are causing for current and potential students and will hopefully try to find ways to increase the budget allotted for higher education.
In this video, Eric explains five different ideas that can help to lower tuition, and this one is something new that I had not previously read about, but I like it. He says "to get rid of silly research studies" which may offend some people, but I think it would be a good idea to help a majority of students to start saving money. This can also go in hand with the schools doing pointless remodeling or renovation jobs, because as students, we help pay for that construction job. I think that by eliminating unnecessary stuff, we will be able to cut costs on tuition. His five ways to help lower tuition are similar to the ideas of Clark and Wang in their article "Stop the Tuition Madness".
I think the shrimp example that Melchor talks about is a great example to further look into and write about in my IP essay. Like I said before, it may offend some people, but why spend money on research like that? I get that research must be conducted to make further discoveries, and I also get that research is an important aspect in life to understand things, but what I do not get is why waste money on research that does not serve much purpose? I mean, when are you ever going to need to know, or even care, how long a shrimp can run on a treadmill?

1. Eating breakfast helps you maintain a healthy metabolism. While your body won't automatically shift into "starvation mode" or anything, skipping meals can cause your resting metabolism to slow down, since there's nothing in your system for it to burn. Fueling your body first thing in the morning helps you function at your best — whether you're bookin' it to class all day or jammin' to your favorite playlist in your room with your girls, It also helps you cut back on binge snacking.
2. Eating breakfast helps you concentrate. Have you ever tried to do, well, anything, with hunger pains and a growling stomach? Yeah, not a good look.
3. Eating breakfast is super easy and super fast. Got toast, fruit, yogurt, or milk? Then you've got a delicious morning meal. Whip up a fantastic smoothie; spread your choice of cream cheese, peanut butter, or Nutella on a toast or bagel; or enjoy your favorite cereal. Not into traditional breakfast foods? Don't eat 'em. Pull out the dinner leftovers or make a yummy sandwhich! It doesn't matter what type of food you eat, just as long as you do eat.
4. Eating breakfast can help you start the day off in peace. Take a few minutes to mentally prepare for the day while you're eating. You'll feel ready to take on anything.
5. Eating breakfast gives you more energy, so you can have even more fun. Food = energy. That is all.
6. Eating breakfast can help you break that caffeine habit. Because you'll be properly energized, you won't be so pressed over snagging that next Starbucks or Red Bull fix.
7. Eating breakfast is the first step toward a balanced diet. You can't possibly get all the nutrients your body needs from two meals and way too many sugary snacks. So, get right with a healthy meal in the morning that will hold you through a good part of the day, also helping curb those junk food cravings.
8. Eating breakfast is fun because it tastes good! Who doesn't love to eat? (We sure do. Not gonna' lie.) Point blank, food is good, so don't miss the chance to indulge.
