These adventures in knee recovery are becoming really boring. I need to find something else to write about ... anything ... maybe tomorrow.
I went to visit a physical therapist for the first time today. She had some interesting theories about the origin of my knee pain - including a misaligned hip and an atrophied VMO quad muscle. She gave credence to my posthole overextension theory, but emphasized that weak leg muscles won't support shock on a weakened knee. This injury has been building up since the dawn of my bicycling, she theorized, since I first sat down on a bicycle seat that I never bothered to measure on a bicycle I never bothered to check to make sure fit. I just bought these things online. A bicycle is a bicycle, right? Right? They're not precision instruments so specialized for body types that the slightest diversion leads to a chain reaction of deterioration and degeneration that can not be recovered? Right?
So now I'm doing my prescribed stretching/ITB band strengthening exercises and staring in bewilderment at my bikes. Did they really betray me? I liked it so much better when I was the idiot that injured myself.
And the bigger question ... if I do recover from all of this, can I trust them? How can I really know that it's not just going to start all over again? Will every mile I pedal be another notch in my inevitable decay? Is there a way to get my bicycles ... you know ... tested for this?
I'm feeling a bit flummoxed by all of this. But at least now I have an excuse to sit on the couch with a pillow between my knees and call it "exercising."
Hey girl. The IT band thing is what nailed me on the hike of the Superstition Ridgeline and disabled me. I got on to a bike and cruised with that injury.
Your memory of reality is not failing. You're the girl riding hundreds of miles on a bike in the snow. Most of us can't do that over a year or two -- if it was your bike it would have been last year.
I think you need to find a real serious doctor.
My daughter was injured last year -- an ankle injury -- and they misdiagnosed it. It healed badly. It ain't all that good. Get another opinion.
Please do not be frightened by this bicycle fit information.
I am 58 and have ridden bicycles all my life.
I am coming to Alaska on May 20 and will be riding for 12 weeks over a distance of approximately 10,000 kilometres. For every one of those kilometres my left knee will be hurting.
I ride to work every day approximately 15,000 kilometres per year and up to 200 kilometres every weekend and for every one of those kilometres my left knee hurts me.
It is a matter of deciding whether you sit on a couch and watch TV or you get outside and enjoy yourself.
I am lucky because I have reached the age where I know that no matter how much cycling I do I will not do my knee any more damage because it has been hurting for over 20 years. I do 10,000 kilometres tours every two years with it hurting.
I do not complain I do not tell anyone I just look at the scenery and say wonderful.
You just need to give up competition and decide that your cycling going to be like your walking and your swimming. When you were cycling every day and doing 800 kilometres per month you were riding empty.
Then you put 15 kilograms on your bike and did 100 miles in the snow with inadequate rest. Your seat was probably too high and set too far back for the load you carried and you did not notice the pain in the excitement of the event.
I carry at least 15 kilograms all the time whenever I ride and then when I load up with 25 - 30 kilograms my body and bike are adjusted for it.
Please don't give up, your bikes can be adjusted perfectly.
However while your knee hurts you can not tell what is good and what is bad so you must use a tape measure and a good bicycle mechanic.
Find a nice bike mechanic and ask him to set you up on your bike, including your exercise bike so you fit properly, most good bike shops can help you.
Keep swimming and walking and exercising until you can ride without pain. Then ride for the reasons you rode and wrote to us about, just the love of cycling. Not for some trophy or hat which has damaged you unnecessarily.
Keep your chin up. Do not look forward to the day when you can be as strong and as fit as you were, forget that, look to see what you can do and how strong and fit you can be in the future.
That person who was you has gone, there is now a new person there who has different abilities.
Live the life the new Jill can live do not pang about that fit strong young stranger in the past she has gone.
We all get older and our abilities and our bodies adjust.
Please persist and don't give up.
We want to see you back on your bike having a "FANG ON YOUR GRID". (Aussie for having a ride on your bike).
Are you sure you're flummoxed? Perhaps just bamboozled. But certainly not stymied.
Yes, a correct bicycle fit is necessary for sure. Especially important as you get into the enduro nutt job field.
Don't worry, we all make this mistake. I didn't get my fit until after my knee injury, DOH!
I don't know much about Alaska, but make sure you get somebody who can do a "pro fit" just not an eyeball kind of thing.
Most high end bike shops will have an adjustable contraption that looks like a stationary bike, which is used to fit you properly - seat & top tube length, stem length & angle, crank arm length, etc... Well worth a visit. Very small adjustments on a bike can make a HUGE difference in comfort and avoidance of pain, especially when you're riding a lot of miles. More a concern for road biking than MTBing.
Jill, don't believe everything any doctor tells you. They're human, they make mistakes and they make them all the time, especially when it comes to an injury such as yours and the possible causes. If you don't have Andy Pruitt's book, I would highly recommend it.
That diagnosis sounds bunk to me. Before Susitna- no knee problem. After-knee problem. bunk-bunk-bunk!
It's entirely possible (likely, actually) that you have some muscle imbalances - we all do to some extent. Cycling isn't exactly natural and uses some muscles a lot while ignoring others. A good PT can find those imbalances and help towards corrective exercises - sounds to me like you're on the right track.
One thing I've done the past 3 years to stay balanced is a daily routine of core work ala Mark Verstegen - google will bring up a few books. There's one for endurance, and one called "core performance", I actually prefer the latter.
Clearly, you did something to your leg on the posthole incident and then beat your knee to a pulp in the ensuing miles...but unless some hard tissue is torn, these things go away in time.
I agree with Shawn and Juancho. Get another opinion.
I also agree with Dave that bike riding can lead to muscle imbalances.
I'd venture there aren't many riders who know more than you do about riding a variety of surfaces, in a variety of conditions.
The PT might be right about the imbalances but until you get the MRI they're all just guessing.
Have patience, get your bike fitted to you and let yourself heal. It's not much to go on but you are really inspiring to those of us who are not so dedicated nor so fit! The fit of the bike is really important and as somebody who had to give up on mountain bikes because he didn't pay attention to healing I really suggest that you take the time. For me I now ride a recumbent trike and only look longingly at your photographs!
Flummoxed huh? Love that word. Just think, if you were not injured you probably would never get to say flummoxed. Flummoxing isn't it?
"Fit Kit" is one of the most common bikeshop methods. Keep in mind that it and other systems like it use averages of human anatomy. If you're unusually proportened it won't work properly.
It really isn't an exact science. You should get your physio to explain exactly what she thinks is wrong with the way you sit on your bike. Something I can't imagine she could do without actually seeing you on the bike.
I'm sure she's right that you have an imbalance but it might be unrealistic to expect that imbalance to be corrected by riding. It might be something you just have to work on off the bike.
Hey Jill! Long time reader, first time commenter, etc. etc.
I tweaked my knee a couple of years ago training for a marathon, and had a tough time finding a physical therapist that could put it back together.
I found that when therapists don't really know what's wrong, they fall back on the basics: stretching, muscle imbalance, ice massage. None of this stuff ever helped me, and I'm willing to guess it won't help you: you have an acute injury traceable to a single trauma. Treating it like an overuse injury probably won't help.
So: Get a second opinion. And a third, if necessary. Keep going until you feel you have a good picture of your condition and your treatment options.
Also, I found that I'm the best judge of what's working. Endurance athletes know their bodies extremely well, and know the difference between good pain and bad pain. So the best therapist out there may be YOU. Listen to your body, and find what works for you.
Above all, be patient. Connective tissue takes a long time to heal. As long as you feel better today than yesterday, you're on the right track. Stick with it. And know when to back off. Recognize when you're leaving "active recovery" territory and heading back into "overdoing it." Stop there. That's the sweet spot where you'll heal the fastest.
The toughest part of injury isn't the physical, it's the mental. I sink into a wicked funk when I can't work out, and you seem to be battling that too. Find something, anything, that will get you good and tired once a day. I have a sprained ankle, so I'm back in the weight room doing core and upper body work, and making my ankle do stabilizing work. Find something, anything, that works for you. Maybe it's swimming. Maybe it's stuff like core, hip, and shoulder work that will complement your cardio and leg strength and make you a stronger rider. Maybe it's cross-country skiing. Having something like this will kill that feeling of losing ground every day, and satisfy your need for a physical test each day.
Anyway, sorry to ramble. Keep your chin up! This just one more cycle in your training, and it couldn't come at a better time-- right after a huge endurance race, when you can really use the recovery time!
That second long winded post was a bit overkill. Jesus, you're in your 20's and have pleanty of happy cartlige left!
Any athlete is going have injuries. Its just that now you've pushed things up a few notches and the bike fit has becomore more and more important. There is likely alot of truth involved that long term bike bio-mechanics have been a problem for a while, its only that during the SU did they make themselves known.
It sounds like you have inflamation from pateller femoral pain, likely a tracking problem,your PT is saying your VMO is weak compared to the lateral part of your quad, and pulling the knee cap laterally, combined with tight IT bands... its really common. My injury has stumped everybody becasue with me its actually the other way around, with an overdeveloped VMO, the 1% case.
The tricky thing about bike fit with an injury like this is that you've been loading parts of your knees for a long time, and its been bothering them. When you make fit changes its going to take some time for the "underloaded" parts of the joint to adjust to the new stresses of biking which they havent seen yet. So it might not feel all happy from the get go.
Anyway, just give it time, the races will always be there.
Follow the money. Complex diagnosis means repeat visits, $$$. Cynical aren't I?
Agree with DH; do this right and you'll be stronger than before. Just takes a bit of patience. Maybe get a kayak once the ice melts? I can't stand the gym.
The fact that you don't use clipless pedals allows your feet to float around on the pedals until you find the spot that is natural. It's all subliminable.
That said, in my experience, often shorter cranks will make all the difference. A saddle that is 1/2" too low causes me discomfort within 2 miles.

It was first identified as Lybska Svan (Swan of Lubeck), the huge carvel-built flagship of Gustav Eriksson Vasa. He was the man who ejected the Danes from Sweden in 1523 and became King, 'Landsfather' of a Swedish nation state that was to become a major power in northern Europe.
In 1991 the wreck was inspected by archaeologists Johan Rönnby and Peter Norman (then of the Swedish Central Board of Antiquities) and Jon Adams. It was clearly a vessel from exactly the right time period but seemed rather small to be the Swan (Adams, Norman & Rönnby 1992). Gustav Vasa had obtained a fleet of ships from Lübeck with which to fight the Danes in 1522 and the Swan cost nearly three times that of any other ship (Glete 1977:37). For simplicity we called this one the 'kravel' (Swedish for 'carvel'). Though not the Swan it was nevertheless a highly significant find. Changes in the design, construction and use of ships at this time set shipping on a trajectory from which it did not deviate in fundamental aspects until the 19th century.
The Stockholm County authority contracted the above named archaeologists to carry out a preliminary survey, along with the commercial diving company who had discovered the site. This never happened because of the attempted sale of two bronze guns with forged documentation. The police established an apparent connection with the divers who had found the wreck and therefore suspected that the guns had been illegally removed from the site (all underwater sites in Sweden, including wrecks, are protected by the same legislation that protects archaeological sites on land).
By March 1994 the police investigation was completed and the company concerned had ceased trading. A new research proposal was submitted to the Stockholm authorities (Adams and Rönnby, 1994). The research design involved comprehensive survey of the hull structure and associated material so that a reconstruction could be attempted using computer technology. The investigation was to be non-intrusive at this stage. In effect we aimed at 'virtual salvage' leaving the wreck itself in its relatively safe and stable environment. We also wanted to look at the use of this ship in the context of its own rapidly changing and dynamic times. As a powerfully armed, prestige vessel, it was presumably owned by someone of corresponding status, perhaps a key player in Europe's transition from the medieval to the modern age?

Surgeries usually run from 08:45 – 11:00 in the morning and 15:00 – 18:00 in the afternoon although the exact times will vary according to each doctor. There are clinics and other sessions between these times.
Patients can book a routine appointment with any GP up to 4 weeks in advance either by phone, in person at the reception or via Online Services.
Upon arrival you should 'check-in' at the reception desk. You will be given a coloured disk with a number. When the doctor is ready for the next patient a light will flash against the relevant clinician name and a buzzer will sound. You should place your number over the previous one on the display, and go down to the consulting room which is clearly marked in the main corridor.
The surgery also offers extended opening hours to help those who have difficulty making routine appointments during the normal working week. This facility will be on Monday evenings until 20:00 and from 07:50 throughout the rest of the week. Appointments must be made in advance with our receptionists and can be with any doctor. All we ask is that you see the same doctor for on-going problems.
The doctors try to make themselves available to patients for telephone advice and consulting. If you have a query please ring the office and the staff will try to accommodate you. Sometimes they may suggest you speak to the nurse or the health visitor, or one of the secretaries. You may be given a time to call back as yours may be one of many enquiries.
All patients have the right to have a chaperone present during examinations, which can either be a patient's friend or family member, or a nurse. Your doctor may suggest this. Sometimes this will require a separate appointment at a later date. Our policy is detailed in a notice in the waiting room but if you have any concerns please speak to a receptionist or your doctor.

Q: UITextField Keyboard international? I created a uitextfield in xcode4 for my iPad app. It sends the strings to and from devices via bluetooth connection.
    textfield=[[UITextField alloc]initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 700, 45)];
    textfield.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewModeAlways;
    textfield.borderStyle = UITextBorderStyleRoundedRect;
    textfield.textColor = [UIColor blackColor];
    textfield.delegate=self;
    textfield.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:20.0];
    textfield.autocorrectionType = UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo;
    textfield.keyboardType = UIKeyboardTypeAlphabet;
    textfield.keyboardAppearance = UIKeyboardAppearanceDefault;
   textfield.returnKeyType = UIReturnKeySend;
    textfield.clearButtonMode = UITextFieldViewModeWhileEditing;
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setObject:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"el", nil]
                                              forKey:@"AppleLanguages"];

    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];

I want to be able to enable international languages. I Changed the iPad settings so that the keyboard has english, french, Spanish, russian, and chinese. However, in the app, it can only switch between French and English and Spanish.
I changed
 textfield.keyboardType= UIKeyboardTypeASCIICapable;

but that didn't work either.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can make Russian and Chinese work?

A: You have set the keyboard type to Alphabet which can't show all languages.
Change the keyboard type to UIKeyboardTypeDefault to allow any keyboard to be chosen.

Universal Music Cuts 50 Staffers
NEW YORK (Hypebot) – About 50 staffers were let go yesterday from across the Universal Music Group. Most effected appear to be the Interscope and Verve labels as well as Universal Music Group Distribution. The cuts have not reached the more massive scale darting across Twitter on Thursday; and so far represent less than 1% of the total company's global workforce.
UMG remains the top selling label group in the world; but in this climate, no one is immune. "Universal Music Group is continuing to transform our organization to better serve our artists and business partners," the company said in a statement. "Given the current economic climate, we have to be as agile and efficient as possible. Unfortunately, these ongoing efforts have resulted in some redundancy. However, UMG will now be even better positioned to compete in the growing global, digital marketplace."

Binance is taking more measures to comply with China's cryptocurrency crackdown with new restrictions in the mainland.
Binance crypto exchange officially announced on Wednesday that the company will delist the Chinese yuan (CNY) from its peer-to-peer trading platform on Dec. 31.
Alongside terminating yuan trading pairs, Binance will continue further restricting access to its platform for users from mainland China, introducing new measures for accounts found to be linked to the region. Binance will specifically limit such accounts to "withdrawal only" mode, limiting transactions to withdrawals, redeeming and closing positions.
Binance emphasized that the company "withdrew from the Chinese mainland market in 2017" and has not been engaged in exchange business in the region since. The exchange said that China-based users have not been able to access Binance since the exit.
Despite exiting the Chinese market back in 2017, Binance cryptocurrency exchange has not yet suspended trades involving the Chinese national currency from its platform.
"Binance does not have any active exchange operations in China. We can also confirm that mobile phone registrations are blocked and the Binance app is not available for download by China-based consumers," a Binance spokesperson told.
"We have also taken the added step to delist CNY trading pairs and restrict services on Binance P2P to any China-based users," the representative added.
The news comes weeks after the Chinese government announced another major crypto ban in late September, with multiple state authorities uniting forces to combat crypto adoption in the country. A number of major crypto firms have been forced to relocate or redirect some of their services.
Huobi, one of the world's largest crypto exchanges, is one company whose revenue is likely to be affected by the new Chinese ban.
"Due to historical reasons, we do have a certain proportion of our user base in mainland China. Retiring mainland Chinese user accounts will have a certain impact on the company's revenue in the short term," a spokesperson for Huobi told.
"Huobi's diversified businesses outside of China have reached nearly 70% in terms of trading volumes," the representative added.

Soaring to new heights at the Eagle Bay Epic Adventure Race
Multisport (333)
The Eagle Bay Epic Adventure Race soared to new heights on the weekend as 1,500 competitors spread their wings over one of three off-road adventure race events in south-west Western Australia.
Credit Rapid Ascent
Based at the Eagle Bay Brewing Co, the off-road courses included mountain biking, trail running, kayaking and ocean swimming through the spectacular natural wilderness of Meelup Regional Park and Geographe Bay.
The event attracted an additional 2,000-plus supporters who cheered from the sidelines in beautiful weather conditions and gave the new race a big thumbs up!
"That was epic! The courses were epic, the event atmosphere was epic; the competitors and spectators lavished the spectacular setting; we couldn't be happier!" said Event Director John Jacoby of Rapid Ascent.
Kristen Gadsdon, a previous four-time winner of the Augusta Adventure Race, was the mountain biker for the winning female team in the Leeuwin Long Course, saying that the event has given adventuring racing a reboot.
"There was an instant vibe as soon as you arrived! Music playing, people were buzzing. The course was brilliant and I can definitely see that it has given a lot of people a kick-start back into adventuring racing," said Gadsdon.
Byron Hudson and Phip Hughes showed up their nearest rivals, taking out the Leeuwin Long Course in times of 4hrs09:07 and 5hrs04:33, respectively, with Hudson only narrowly beating second place Brendon Dimmer by 20 seconds.
"I had no idea I was going as well as I did; I was just out there having a good time and it was only after I passed Brendan coming out of the swim that I backed myself," said Hudson.
"I really enjoy running and that stretch of coastline is just magic! The course format was awesome too." added Hudson.
The course was described by participants as the "best of the best" and included a gruelling 23km mountain bike, 2km ocean swim, 13.5km paddle, and 12.5km trail run traversing the breathtaking landscape along the coast. The run leg also included a water jump and 50m swim mid-way through.
Phip Hughes, who played catchup after her bike chain came off, was relieved to win the overall female category.
"Ben you're a legend – that's the guy who fixed my chain – it was such a relief to get back on the course; it was a great race all-round!" said Hughes.
In the relay team of four category, it was a tale of 'blink and you'll miss it' with the speed and strength of 'Team Epic' who clocked in a time of 3hrs56:47.
Team members included William Lee, Kristopher Taylor, Brendan Rice and Andrew Mowlem who all raced individually as part of the Vibe Short Course on Saturday, backing up on Sunday with the Leeuwin Long Course team win.
"The course was beautiful, especially the paddle leg which was more tranquil than down in Augusta. We are usually just paddlers but have always wanted to do it solo; so we gave yesterday a crack and are stoked to win the teams today," said Lee.
The Vibe Short Course saw many newcomers, locals and social athletes tackle a 13km mountain bike, 1.2km ocean swim, 5km paddle and 7.9km trail run either solo or in relay teams. The shorter race being the most popular of the weekend with over 600 competitors.
Andrew Mowlem of 'Team Epic' (above) is setting up his trophy room nicely taking out the short course solo male line honours, along with under 18 rising star Femke Negus winning the female category; posting times of 2hrs15:17 and 2hrs33:07 respectively.
The Kids Adventure challenge on Saturday afternoon saw over 400 kids aged up to 13 years take on the most exciting 3.5km running and obstacle course of the year, complete with spiders webs, hurdles, crawling and slippery dip obstacles along the way!
Saturday afternoon also featured WA's first 'Wife'* Carrying Championships with the winning couple taking home their weight in beer thanks to the Eagle Bay Brewing Co.
Couples had to piggy back one another over the 400m course that included hurdles and limbo bars, whilst the crowd cheered and clapped from the side lines. Conducted in a head-to-head elimination style there were two heats of four pairs with a winner-takes-all Final being the highlight of the weekend for many people.
It was great to see a large number of competitors and supporters be part of such a sensational weekend, from adventure racing stalwarts and previous participants, along with many locals, families, first-timers, and over 400 local primary school kids.
See you all again in 2021!

ISTANBUL: If former Turkish prime minister Binali Yildirim wants a reminder of how much he needs to win as Istanbul mayor in this month´s election, he just has to listen to his boss.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who started his own political career as Istanbul mayor, likes to tell his Justice and Development Party (AKP) that winning the country's economic hub is like winning Turkey itself. Picking a well-known name and ruling party heavyweight like Yildirim for mayor shows how key Istanbul remains for Erdogan. The Turkish leader has been campaigning hard around Turkey, often in Istanbul, to drum up support for the AKP before the March 31 municipal election.
The vote in Istanbul, with a population of 15 million out of Turkey´s 80 million, will be a major test for Erdogan´s party to consolidate its power. Istanbul is seen as a political bellwether with its mixed population of secular and conservative Turks as well as Kurds. In the 2017 referendum on the new executive presidential system that concentrated powers under the Turkish leader, Istanbul narrowly voted against Erdogan´s plan. "Istanbul is a country on its own," he said.

As a general rule I try each month to vary the topics I tackle in this column, for obvious reasons. At this writing, I had several issues I could have addressed but then along came Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson's annual State of the County address which I caught on YouTube.com the night after the invitation-only event.
As expected, the address really served as a "greatest hits" litany of accomplishments on the part of the Patterson administration over the nearly two and one-half decades he has held the chief executive post in Oakland. And justifiably so. As I have said on numerous occasions, I have long supported Patterson's efforts on behalf of the county, and certainly much has been accomplished, thanks in large part to the team with which he has chosen to surround himself, as he even admitted in this year's address. So, once again, I like Brooks Patterson and what he has accomplished on behalf of Oakland County residents.
Where I break with Patterson in recent years is on the basic issue of politics, the topic on which he ended this year's annual State of the County address.
As parting thoughts at the end of the evening, Patterson asked his audience to give consideration to what one of the country's founders, Ben Franklin, said at the time of the Constitutional Convention, where the guiding document under which we still operate was created. In answer to questions, Franklin described what was being created as a "Republic, if you can keep it." Patterson also latched onto what James Madison – founding father, fourth President of the nation, considered the Father of the Constitution – thought at the time about "factions" in the government. Madison, in the Federalist Papers, defined a "faction as a group of citizens with interests that are adverse to the rights of other citizens or adverse of the best interests of the nation as a whole." Madison said, "Because of the nature of man, such groups are inevitable, and moreover, in a free society, they are unavoidable. They arise from different interests and opinions that naturally exist."
Madison also wrote that in a government where the majority opinion rules, factions would not pose a problem, unless the faction occupied a place in the majority.
Patterson then proceeded to posit that some radical leftist, violence-inclined groups such as Antifa and By Any Means Necessary had already started to occupy a place in our government – quite a stretch by any definition. Antifa and By Any Means Necessary are radical far-left street-fighting groups that resort to violence at public events and political street gatherings. I have yet to hear that any of their members occupy state or national elected positions.
Patterson also lumped in with the previous two groups the MoveOn organization, which has an estimated three million members nationwide and was first formed in 1998 when its two founders posted an online petition calling for censure, not impeachment, of then-President Bill Clinton and several hundred thousand signed it. MoveOn has grown into an organization known as one of the more effective users of the internet for petitioning the government, running virtual phone banks, expanding from online organizing to offline door-to-door field efforts on behalf of progressive causes and candidates, as well as raising millions in contributions to support their efforts. To lump them in with the street-fighting groups on the left is simply dishonest.
So what gives with Patterson's closing remarks that February evening? One the one hand, I believe he was sincere when he expressed concerns about the frailty of the representative government and what his grandchildren will face years from now. I certainly share some of the same concerns, although not necessarily for the same reasons.
Unfortunately, I have to view most of his closing remarks as dog whistle politics.
Dog whistle politics basically means using coded messaging that communicates a message that is understood – sometimes unconsciously – a high-pitched "dog whistle." The terminology first gained recognition in Australia in the mid-1990's during a political campaign for prime minister by John Howard who had a penchant for working into his public pronouncements such terms as "illegals," "mainstream" and "Un-Australian."
In Patterson's case, I am not sure he consciously decides to use dog whistle phrasing or that it has just become second nature – especially as the Republican Party control of the county and state government starts slipping through the fingers of the GOP.
No mention that evening of the Tea Party (a faction representing 10 percent of the population, according to pollsters). The same faction that just years ago Patterson labelled the "Taliban" of the Republican Party is now part of the state legislature and Congress where followers have their own caucus. No mention of the Trump faction that has invaded the GOP. And no disavowing of the vitriolic language and dog whistle pronouncements by the current President – an ill-informed and aspiring autocrat – despite the fact that violent behavior has become commonplace at his rallies, including his recent Texas gathering where a man in a MAGA hat broke into a contained area for the media and began physically assaulting journalists.
No acknowledgement that in January you could find Antifa, an anti-fascist group, fighting in the streets of Portland, Oregon with the equally violent right-wing Patriot Prayer Group and the Proud Boys, one of whose founders is a former Republican Senate candidate from the state of Washington. Or that far-right factions of white supremacists have made their way into our government.
I also can't ignore the snide comment made by Patterson about a "complicit media" when alleging that violent leftist factions have made their way into the government – a clear – and disappointing – sign that he has drunk the Trump Kool-Aid.
I could go on but you get my drift.
I expect more from a major political figure in the county and the state. And I would hope this is not a preview of what we can anticipate in local 2020 elections – dog whistle pandering rather than an honest debate of issues.
So I close this month like Patterson did on that recent evening when he asked those in attendance to give some thought to the frailty of the republic in the face of current day threats that can undermine the democracy. I ask the same.

Or is that just an excuse for her lack of entertainment talent, by casting blame on "lack of focus"?
Unlike other people who found their diagnosis of ADHD to be a blessing, Solange Knowles did not find solace in her doctor's words. In fact, Beyoncé's younger sister went for a second opinion. The second doctor confirmed the diagnosis of ADHD in the young singer, according to Celebrity Rush, and Knowles finally came to terms. Eventually, she found that it helped explain some of her erratic behavior.
She calls it erratic behavior, I call it bad fashion sense and horrible music.
So what's Beyonce's excuse for speaking on a 5th grade level?


I am an introvert. I don't say that to be cute. I don't say it to sound trendy. I say it because it's a truth I've had to navigate through as a human being who craves connection just like anyone else. If I am not careful, days or even weeks can go by where I get so wrapped up in my writing and my work, that I have zero in-person interactions.
It's ignorant to assume that technology and electronics are synonyms. Technology is a specialized type of tool made by man to help him solve problems. Computers and electronics are definitley not the only things that do this.
Last summer I went to the beach with my fifteen year old niece. I told her she could bring her friend along. Any fifteen year old in today's world is going to do the obvious. Get a good bikini shot for social media.

MIRAI learns by watching demonstrations: a human guides the robotic arm through various motions, MIRAI watches, generalizes and learns to solve the same task autonomously.
MIRAI - Using AI to Train Robotic Arms
Ronnie Vuine | Micropsi Industries
02/26/19, 09:05 AM | Industrial Robotics | Artificial Intelligence, software
Tell me about Micropsi Industries.
Micropsi Industries is a robotics software company, founded in 2014 in Berlin, Germany, with operations in Europe and the U.S.
What's unique about your AI system, Mirai?
MIRAI allows engineers to train robotic arms to perform difficult tasks -- typically tasks that involve reacting to information that is only available visually. MIRAI learns by watching demonstrations: a human guides the robotic arm through various motions, MIRAI watches, generalizes and learns to solve the same task autonomously.
What made you launch the company?
The founders are artificial intelligence experts. We wanted to work on systems that learn to deal with environments they weren't prepared for. And when we looked at industrial robotics specifically, it quickly became obvious that there was a major gap there: The limits of machines that had nothing to do with the hardware. We could make them so much more powerful by adding cameras and an AI system that could learn hand-eye-coordination movements.
AI seem to be a buzzword today. How hard is it to deploy AI applications and why?
Yes, AI is a buzzword. People have started using the term "AI" for pretty much anything that contains an algorithm, which can be annoying. We've been doing this for a long time and will continue to do so even after the hype has died down.
Deploying AI (or machine learning) is hard for end-users because they often don't have the expertise to do it, especially if they're mid-sized or small companies whose core business is something else entirely.
The way to make real progress in AI available to these companies is productization – which is what we're doing at Micropsi Industries. With MIRAI, you can solve a fairly complex computer vision problem without understanding much about the technology. You need to be able to install the robot and use a couple of hours to train it – it's all physical, intuitive activity now, not a month-long experience of learning or an expensive expert hire.
Can you give us a real world example of how your software is being implemented?
We use a demo to show how the system can plug in cables. The system works with any task that requires positioning a robotic arm by watching a human – MIRAI controllers can also place testing probes on soldering points, find and approach features on steel part, pick up various types of objects, and help build complex structures out of carbon fiber.
What are some trends that you see in 2019?
The trend is automation -- no matter what happens to the world economy. In robotics specifically, I'm looking forward to a whole range of new experimental robotic arms, more and better sensors, especially cameras, and startups that take these new components and build exciting vertical applications: from building houses to manufacturing rocket engines to making pizzas. When it comes to the large fields of application, besides assembly (which is what we target with MIRAI) I think we'll see more logistics automation with robots – the space has heated up considerably in the last years and looks very promising.

Zenith Bank Suspends International Transaction On Naira ATM Cards As Nigerians Decry Action Of DMBs
in Banking / Finance
Zenith Bank has joined the league of Nigerian banks that have suspended international transactions on naira cards
But the new approach by many Deposit Money Banks operating in the country has continued to elct condemnation by customers as their international transactions have been adversely affected.

According to a message to its customers, Zenith Bank said its customers will no longer be able to carry out any international transaction on their naira Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards effective from January 9th, 2023.
This is coming barely a week after GTBank made the same announcement, which took effect on January 1.
The action has continued to compound the troubles of many Nigerians, particularly, those who shop online from international stores such as Amazon, and Apple Music, among others as they will no longer be able to pay with their naira cards.
Zenith Bank's announcement increased the number of banks that have suspended international transactions on naira cards to 4, including First Bank and Standard Chartered Bank.
Specifically, Zenith Bank in a notice to its customers on Thursday said:
"Please be informed that you will be unable to use your Zenith Bank Naira cards for International Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cash withdrawals, POS transactions, and web transactions with effect from Monday, January 9th, 2023.
"If you have International spending requirements, simply visit any of our branches and request a foreign currency debit or prepaid card, which are available in US Dollars, Pounds, and euros variants."
From reduction to suspension: In March last year, most Nigerian banks announced a $20 spending limit on international transactions using naira debit cards. This was because of a longstanding scarcity of foreign exchange and the Central Bank of Nigeria's strict capital outflow regime.
In July, Standard Chartered Bank announced it has suspended international transactions on its naira visa debit card.
In September, First Bank also announced the suspension of international transactions on its naira Mastercard virtual card and visa prepaid naira card from September 30.
"Due to current market realities on foreign exchange, you will no longer be able to use the Naira Mastercard, Naira Credit Card, our Virtual card, and Visa Prepaid Naira card for international transactions. This will take effect on 30 September 2022," First Bank said in a statement to its customers," the bank stated.
Flutterwave, Eversend, and other fintech platforms had also stopped virtual card services for international transactions.
To GTBank, in the message it said, these cards would no longer be supported for international online and Point of Sale transactions. While the bank did not give reasons for this decision, it advised them to get dollar cards, which means they need to open dollar accounts.
The bank said, "Dear customer, we write to inform you that you will no longer be able to use your Naira Mastercard for international online and POS transactions effective 31st December 2022.
"Kindly note that you can use your GTBank dollar card for all your international spending requirements."
However, although the banks gave their customers the option of dollar-denominated cards to enable them engage in international transactions, it is a pointer that naira-denominated cards are becoming useless outside the borders of the country.
But things were not always like this. It has been a long road to where naira-denominated cards are now. Users of naira-denominated cards were formerly allowed to spend up to $150,000 per annum ($12,500 per month) for international transactions. But in April 2015, the spending limit on naira-denominated cards for international transactions was reduced to $50,000 per person per annum or $4,166.7 per month. This soon dropped to $500 per month and then $100 per month. In the first quarter of 2022, holders of naira-denominated cards were limited to $20 international transactions. And in December, they were finally barred from transacting any international transaction with their naira-denominated cards.
Nigerians have been here before. In 2016, banks also suspended international payments on naira-denominated cards. In a mail to its customers at the time, Standard Chartered Bank blamed limited foreign exchange supply for its decision to stop supporting international transactions on naira cards.
Banks are not the only ones struggling to facilitate international transactions in the country. Fintechs are in the same situation. With every rising of the sun, a new fintech springs up and promises to help Nigerians facilitate foreign transactions. But like shooting stars, they are here today and gone tomorrow.
Fintechs such as Flutterwave and several others that used to have virtual dollar cards have since suspended services that facilitate international transactions.
A financial analyst, Friday Ameh claimed the issue has become a nightmare for most customers wishing to do international transactions.
A lot of Nigerians are finding it difficult to embark on dollar-denominated services such as streaming services, application fees, magazine subscriptions, domain renewal, etc. with their naira cards, a development that could see extinction of some online publishers from the business.
According to Ameh, the only option would be to open a domiciliary account, which is stressful, based on numerous demands from banks, such as at least two referrals, dscription of residential houses, among others.
It was gathered that naira cards from banks such as GTB, Access, and First Bank had stopped working on international platforms.
With this latest suspension on naira-denominated cards, Nigerians would have no choice but to turn to the parallel market to continue to enjoy subscription services.
This is because when CBN, which is the market marker when it comes to the FX market denies banks access to or does not allocate FX for funding of naira-issued dollar transactions, the banks have no choice but to suspend foreign currency payment on those cards, thereby booming activities of parallel market operators.
Nigeria gets most of its forex inflow from oil earnings, diaspora remittance, and foreign investments in form of Foreign Portfolio Investments and Foreign Direct Investments.
But oil revenue, which has been suffering from series of attacks and theft, makes up about 90 per cent of these earnings.
The World Bank recently disclosed that Nigeria's foreign portfolio investments fell by $2.08bn from $2.15bn in 2010 to $72m by 2021. It added that FDI inflows into the country depreciated from $5.97bn in 2010 to $2.45bn in 2021.
In its recent report, it said, "FDI and FPI flow into Nigeria do not compare favourably with similar economies of the world, reflecting difficulties with FX availability, security concerns and other structural challenges in recent years."
While the country officially attracted $60.22bn from its diasporan population from 2019 to 2021, most of it was for consumption purposes. According to the World Bank, remittance offers a critical lifeline for households in developing countries and helps to alleviate poverty, improve nutritional outcomes, and more.
During the CBN's last Monetary Policy Committee meeting, a member, Robert Asogwa, said, "The recent drop in external reserves is, however, linked to the decline in oil exports even at a time of higher oil prices."

Every climber is required to complete a wavier for each day that they visit the Kohltech Climbing Wall. (RECC members will only be required to complete the wavier once.) Youth 18 and under must have a parent/legal guardian read and complete a liability waiver prior to any climbing. Youth 16 and older may climb unsupervised, provided they adhere to the Kohltech code of conduct. Youth 15 and under must have a parent/legal guardian present to be allowed in the climbing area, unless registered for a youth program. Both hard copy and digital waivers are kept on hand at RECC Wall and Welcome Desk. Click HERE for a DOWNLODABLE VERSION you can print at home.
Trying the Climbing Wall for your first time is a breeze, even if you've never climbed before! During regular opening hours we have 2 TRUEBLUE auto belays that are available for all climbers aged 4 and up. A quick 5 minute tutorial will get you familiar with the equipment and the operation of the auto belays. Then you can start climbing! Climbers take turns on the auto belays, but with each climb lasting only minutes, the turnover is fast and many climbers can efficiently share the space. As a next step, we encourage all regular attendees to acquire their "Learn to Belay" course in order to gain access to the entire wall, in addition to the routes accessible to auto belays.
Climbers who have not yet acquired belay certification or who wish to climb alone may take advantage of Community Climbing sessions, where staff operate the ropes (belay) for the public. Those wanting a personal belayer outside of Community Climbing hours may 'Hire a Belayer', paid by hourly rate and booked in advance. One week's notice is usually required. Visit our climbing wall schedule to see upcoming community climbing times. Other sessions may occur seasonally. Contact the Climbing Wall Manager for details.
Belay certification at the Kohltech Climbing Wall empowers climbers to climb during open hours without needing a staff member to belay. Climbers can take turns belaying for each other once certified, or belay for others who have not yet acquired belay certification. "Learn to Belay" is a free course for members, or a $21 fee for drop in visitors. This certification is open to climbers age 16 and up, however, climbers under the age of 19 will require an adult guardian to take the course with them. Belaying is a significant responsibility, and climbers wishing to do so will be closely monitored by staff during their visit. Staff reserves the right to revoke an individual's privilege of belaying, at any time, if it is deemed the belayer's technique or behaviour is inappropriate.
Check out the Climbing Wall Schedule for upcoming "Learn to Belay" courses. If you are unable to make one of the scheduled courses, contact the Climbing Wall Manager. We may be able to schedule a time that works for you! Final certification depends on completing a re-test during your next visit to the wall. If you have belayed before, you can request to schedule a belay test. This must be completed with the Petzl Grigri belay device (provided for you.) Failure to complete the test to our satisfaction will result in not being able to belay at our facility until retaking the "Learn to Belay" course. The cost to challenge the Belay test is $15 plus tax.
Lead climbing is an advanced skill set employed by experienced climbers. Instead of using an auto belay or a toprope to ascend the wall, a pair of climbers will bring their own rope up the wall with them one at a time, using special devices to safeguard their ascent. Leading involves a lot more risk than the standard types of climbing at a rock wall, so participants must complete the "Take the Lead" course or successfully challenge the "Lead Belay" exam before being able to participate. Please see our leadership programs for upcoming Take the Lead courses. Climbers wishing to challenge the Lead Belay exam must contact us to schedule an exam, and should submit the request within a reasonable time frame. Lead climbing is not always available at the Kohltech. Staff reserves the right to temporarily suspend Lead climbing as an option at any time.
The Kohltech climbing wall offers classes for children and youth on a seasonal basis (ages 6 – 15). Wallnuts is an introductory class for young children (ages 6-8), just starting out on their climbing adventure. Kid Climbers (ages 9-11) builds on the foundational skills. Youth Competitive (12-15) explores the more formal aspects of climbing training with our maturing youth. Youth Competitive does include competitive elements, but also involves young climbers working together to better their personal performance, while learning skills that will assist their move into the world of competitive climbing, should they choose to pursue it. For upcoming sessions please visit our programming page.
Adult Wallnuts is designed for newer adult climbers who have come to the sport later in life, or who would like a deeper look into the theory behind basic climbing technique. Belay certification is not required for this course, though belay technique is covered during the session. This course is a great way to jump-start your climbing ability, while introducing you to some prospective climbing partners! For upcoming sessions please visit our adult programming page.
If you have more specific training goals in mind, please contact us. We are confident our experienced staff can develop a custom training session just for you!
Climbfit is a climbing version of the traditional fitness bootcamp class. This workout is divided into traditional fitness exercises, with more specific climbing related exercises, all designed to promote full body fitness and increase your proficiency while climbing. The climbing portions are designed to be achievable by those new to climbing, but you'll certainly work up a sweat at any level of experience! Climbfit Bootcamp is free for any RECC member, and users can also drop in.
We have climbing shoes and harnesses to fit various ages and sizes. You can bring your own or rent ours for $2 (shoes) and $2 (harness) plus tax if you are dropping in for a climb. If you are a RECC member with any term, harness and shoe rentals are included with your membership.
Do I need to do anything before I can climb at the Kohltech?
The short answer is no! After completing our wavier, our auto belays allow climbers aged 4 and up to come in and climb right away, without any previous experience. During Community Climbing hours, staff take over the operation of the ropes so that all ages can drop in and climb.
Who can climb at the Kohltech?
Any age can climb the wall, THOUGH CERTAIN AGES CAN ONLY CLIMB AT CERTAIN TIMES (see conditions of use) We have harnesses and shoes to fit as young as 2-3 years of age.
It is recommended that everyone using the climbing wall age 15 and older take the Learn to Belay (operate the ropes) climbing course. You do not need a course to "climb" the wall, but you do need a course to "belay" for the person climbing the wall.
What is the Learn to Belay course?
In order to climb on the entire climbing area, visitors have two choices: attend one of our Community Climbing sessions, where staff operate the ropes (belay) for clients; or take our Learn to Belay (formerly B4U climb) course in order to operate the ropes yourself with a partner. Climbing is a broad discipline, so there are many versions of "belaying" taught all over the world. At the Kohltech Climbing wall we utilize the Petzl Grigri belay device ONLY, and we utilize the 5 point belay style, which is a common traditional technique. We will require our clients to follow suit, regardless of level of experience, in order to ensure a consistent standard of behaviour in our gym.
Clients can attend one of our scheduled Learn to Belay courses, or schedule one through our Climbing Wall Manager. Courses take approximately 1.5 hours to complete and will require a re-test on your next visit in order to complete the certification process. This option is open to ages 15+.
Clients who have learned to belay at other gyms can challenge our exam, though this may not be available as a drop in option. Your best bet is to contact the Climbing Wall Manager in advance in order to ensure you will be able to climb in your preferred mode. Failure to demonstrate proper technique will require climbers to take the Learn to Belay course at the convenience of Kohltech staff.
Will there be staff on hand to Belay for me?
During regular hours staff are not available to belay for clients unless pre-booked. There is the option to Hire a Belayer for 1 hour at an additional cost of $20 plus tax, however, this requires a minimum of 48 hours advance notice. We recommend this option for 4 or fewer climbers per Hire. Once you have the belay training (Learn to Belay course) you can bring your family in whenever we are open for public climbing!
Do you offer Lead Climbing?
Yes, but due to the increased risk of this form of climbing, it is not guaranteed at all times. Business, staffing, and timing all affect the availability of lead climbing, and staff reserves the right to cancel lead climbing at any time. In addition, only climbers previously certified to Lead climb at the Kohltech are allowed to participate. Certification is obtained through successfully completing our Take the Lead course, or scheduling and successfully challenging our Lead exam with the Climbing Wall Manager.
Is there a separate fee to use just the climbing wall during my visit?
No. If you are a member of the RECC, usage is free; but you can also drop-in to climb the wall under a day pass. Day pass users are subject to harness and shoe rental costs.
Can I drop my children off to climb while I go somewhere else?
No. An adult must be present for all children under the age of 16 at all times. If a parent isn't on hand to supervise, children will not be able to climb. *Exception: This does not apply to registered programs such as Kids Night Out and Wallnuts, where parents are free to leave for the duration of the program.
Is youth programming free at the Kohltech?
No. Wallnuts (ages 6-8) is still an included program for those with a continuous or 1 year membership, but the older youth programming now has an associated fee, reflecting the greater depth of the education and experience being offered.
How high is the wall?
Our wall is approximately 35 feet or 12m high at the highest. We are the tallest artificial climbing structure in the Maritimes.
Do I have to climb to the top?
No! You choose when you want to come down, at any time during the climb! Our staff will always encourage you to greater heights, however, feel free to stop at 1m or 12m. Your choice!

Representatives from the Syracuse Orange and the rest of the Atlantic Division teams took their turn down at ACC Football Kickoff (ACC media days) on Wednesday. We'll have a separate piece on what quarterback Tommy DeVito and defensive end Kendall Coleman said. But first, it's head coach Dino Babers.
As one of the most quotable coaches in college football, Babers usually bring his A-game to these events, and this year was no exception, despite the media scrum really lacking in-depth questions.
Dino grades effort... rigorously.
When asked why he chose DeVito and Coleman to attend media days this year, Babers got into the effort both have put in, specifically citing percentages attached to what they've put forth in practice from day one. Not sure how these ratings come about, but I'd be terrified to have Babers grade my work day.
"The very first scrimmage we had on campus, his position coach came back and said he had given 100% effort. I told the position coach, I've been in a long time, I've never seen a high school freshman come to his first college scrimmage and get a 100% effort grade on a scrimmage.
To make a long story short. I said, If he did that, I want to see it. If I want to see it, I know you guys want to see it, as well. I brought the staff back at 11:00 that night, and we rewatched the scrimmage. We graded Kendall to see if he graded 100% in effort."
Dino will be the judge of that 100% grade, sir!
"Now, he didn't. He came out at 91 or 93%, which is still the highest grade we've ever given a freshman."
Very curious what he would've given Eric Dungey as a freshman.

Fire up the #DISRESPECK engine. Babers, on the anticipation of the Clemson game:
"We don't even speak about it. The way you guys go straight to the third game, I don't even think that way... Therefore, every one of those games are a big game to us, regardless of who we're playing."
You hear that, Clemson? You're the same as Holy Cross.
We sure it's not the dining hall food?
"First of all, the trash cans, they were a lot in the beginning, there are not a lot in the end. I can't remember the last time I saw -- well, freshmen don't count. Freshmen throwing up, that doesn't count. I can't remember the last time I've seen an upperclassman do something like that in practice."
Note to me back in 2006-07: Freshmen throwing up doesn't count.
The first movie reference of the day, while talking about Orange fans:
"I know that our football team and our football family absolutely feels that way, that if you're coming into our place, I don't know, I guess it's like that movie Dumb and Dumber, if you're coming to play us at home, we just really think like we have a chance."
Almost the quote. Still works.
Talking about Andre Cisco gives Dino a chance to subtly shame millennials, among other things:
"Andre came in in January, went through spring, beat out one safety, beat out the other safety during two-a-days, lined up and played as a freshman. Then he played so extremely well he got named on some All-American teams. That doesn't happen with young men, especially young men in the millennial area."
Andre's Gen Z, but who's really keeping track of these sorts of things?
"The thing that's different, I want to talk about what's different about Cisco, what's different is he's changed his body. He went down to Wal-Mart, got him some bi's, some tri's, and some pecs now, he must have got the pecs off the shelf, around aisle five, he has an upper body that is no joke. I want to see now if he can physically do some of the things from a skill set that we saw him do from an athletic ability as far as getting interceptions and doing other things on the back end."
If I'd known that all I had to do to get in better shape was head to Wal-Mart, I would've done so a long time ago. The rare times I shadow the door, I never walk down aisle five. Now I know what I've been missing.
You can mark "belief without evidence" off on your BINGO board.
"If you have faith, belief without evidence, that these things will lead to winning, I think that they will buy in. But one thing that I try to do is always tell them the truth. I think sometimes men, especially men to men, don't tell each other the truth enough."
Would agree with the latter statement. Syracuse, I complained about scheduling for years out of love, and a desire to simply tell you the truth. Thanks for hearing me out and mostly doing something about it.
Also, while talking about the moon landing, Dino watched "Space Ghost" and "Speed Racer" as a kid. This seems relevant.

Бори́с Илиодо́рович Росси́нский (27 апреля (09 мая) 1884, Москва — 23 марта 1977, Москва) — один из первых русских пилотов-авиаторов, а затем советский лётчик-испытатель, прозванный в народе «дедушкой русской авиации».

Биография
Борис Илиодорович Россинский родился 27 апреля (09 мая по старому стилю) 1884 года, в доме по Девкину пер. (ныне — Бауманская улица, д. 22). Крещён в Богоявленской церкви на Елоховке.

Предки Бориса Россинского по отцовской линии — это, служивые дворяне из Рязанской губернии.

Дед Бориса Россинского, — Иван Леонтьевич Россинский (1788—1831), родом из Коломны, дворянин, надворный советник, участник войны 1812 года. Участвовал в заграничных походах: был при блокаде Магдебурга и Гамбурга. После войны, в звании капитана, служил квартальным надзирателем в Коломенской полиции.

Отец Бориса — дворянин, надворный советник Илиодор Иванович Россинский родился 2 октября 1827 года в Коломне. Участвовал, в чине прапорщика, в обороне Севастополя, в период Крымской войны 1854—1855 гг. в составе 94-й Дружины государственного ополчения Рязанской губернии. Окончил Московский университет, получив юридическое и медицинское образование. С 1861 года работал судебным следователем в Рязанской губернии и в канцелярии Рязанского губернского прокурора. Осенью, 1869 года определён надзирателем Московского Воспитательного Дома, где занимался вопросами об охране детей-сирот, распределённых по деревням Московской губернии. Непрерывно разъезжал по своему округу, в одну из поездок простудился и 20 февраля 1886 года умер от воспаления лёгких.

Мать — Ольга Ефимовна (урождённая Комарова,1853—1949) родилась в Москве. Бабушка — Ольга Александровна (в девичестве Прибылова) из семьи купцов Прибыловых.

После смерти мужа Ольга Ефимовна осталась с пятью детьми: двенадцатилетним Владимиром, десятилетним Илиодором, пятилетней Марией, двухлетним Борисом и новорожденным Фёдором.

С 1886 по 1894 год семья жила на съёмных квартирах в районе Немецкой улицы (ныне — Бауманская улица), в Большом Демидовском переулке, затем в Старокирочном переулке, в доме Бутюгиной, потом вновь на Немецкой улице. С 1925 года и до смерти Россинский со своим братом Фёдором и матерью жил в особняке по адресу: Малый Власьевский переулок д. 4, строение 1, который он получил в пожизненное пользование для своей лаборатории.

С августа 1893 по 4 июня 1902 года, учился в Реальном училище К. П. Воскресенского, а с августа 1902 по 29 май 1904 года — в Реальном училище при реформатской церкви в Москве. В 1899 году, при изучении в училище физики, заинтересовался воздухоплаванием и, посещая Московский политехнический музей, прослушал лекцию Н. Е. Жуковского о покорении воздуха, в которой тот опирался на опыты Лилиенталя с планированием. Тогда же Россинский, построив большой змей-планер, забрался на крышу сарая и попытался полететь. Из этого ничего не вышло. Попав на лекцию Н. Е. Жуковского, рассказал ему о своём печальном опыте, на что тот посоветовал Россинскому поступать в ИМТУ, где сам преподавал.

С 1 сентября 1904 по 1 ноября 1911 года Россинский был студентом Императорского Московского технического училища. В 1908—1909 гг. Россинский — активный член Воздухоплавательного кружка, созданного H. E. Жуковским при ИМТУ.

Летом 1910 года, по настоянию Жуковского, Россинский едет во Францию, в город По. В школе Луи Блерио, он обучается лётному делу. Сначала, он поступил практикантом на моторный завод «Anzani», и работал контролёром по испытанию и установке двигателей. Его успехи были так впечатляющи, что на прощание, Блерио подарил ему самолёт своей конструкции — «Блерио XI». Во Франции, в феврале 1910 года, произошла первая встреча Бориса Россинского с В. И. Лениным и Н. К. Крупской, на аэродроме Исси-ле-Мулино недалеко от Парижа.

С 11 ноября 1934 года, Б. И. Россинский — персональный пенсионер СССР. Пожизненная персональная пенсия составляла 600 руб.

Скончался в 1977 году. Похоронен на Новодевичьем кладбище.

Первый в России планерный полёт

Все работы велись в посёлке Черкизово на даче студента Лямина, сына фабриканта, товарища Россинского по учёбе в ИМТУ. На одной из московских мебельных фабрик, Россинский и Лямин, выпросили бамбук для изготовления каркаса планёра, а полотно для крыльев взяли на фабрике Лямина. Первые попытки подняться в небо, кончались неудачами, но Россинский упорно вносил поправки в конструкцию.

29 ноября 1908 года, Россинский и Лямин, привезли планёр на санях «бобслей» к возвышенному берегу Клязьмы. Лямин лёг на сани, Россинский встал между его ногами, закрепив планёр на своём туловище. Сани покатились под гору к реке, и когда была достигнута критическая скорость, воздушный поток подхватил планёр — и Россинский полетел над Клязьмой и приземлился за рекой на поляне (позже застроенной зданиями МГУС). Сведения о высоте, длине и времени полёта ориентировочные, потому что в этот день их некому было точно зафиксировать. Его племянница, Светлана Федоровна, написала на обратной стороне фотографии планёра Россинского: «высота 5 аршин (~3,56 м), длина перелёта примерно 20 саженей (~42,6 м), в воздухе продержался около трёх минут».

Создатель теории воздухоплавания, профессор МВТУ Н. Е. Жуковский предложил, чтобы успех планериста, зафиксировала комиссия Воздухоплавательного кружка при МВТУ. Для этого, Россинский ровно через год, 29 ноября 1909 года, в присутствии членов комиссии, снова перелетел на своём планёре Клязьму в том же месте.

Первые полёты

Летом, 1910 года, Борис Россинский, построил первый ангар на Московском аэродроме на Ходынском поле. С конца лета 1910 года, стал выступать с показательными полётами не только в Москве, но и в других городах, в том числе: Борисоглебске, Твери, Липецке, Туле. В один из таких полётов, 8 сентября 1910 года, над ипподромом в Туле, порыв ветра перевернул самолёт, и упавшему Россинскому пришлось долго лечить повреждённый позвоночник. Показательные полёты Россинского на Борисоглебском ипподроме 29 апреля 1912 года, стали в будущем толчком к созданию в декабре 1922 Борисоглебской авиашколы.

В конце лета, 1910 года, Борис Россинский открыл на Московском аэродроме, школу Блерио для обучения полётам.

Борис Россинский обучался летать фактически самоучкой, и хотя МОВ, выдало ему пилотскую грамоту, с ней, он дальше Тулы летать не пытался. Удостоверение пилота он получил в конце лета 1911 г., пройдя на «Фармане» полный курс наук в школе у Габер-Волынского.

29 июня 1912 года, Россинский совершил первый полёт над Москвой на «Фарман IV» в Анненгофскую рощу, в Лефортово, на масcовку рабочих «Дукс» и «Гужон». Б. И. Россинский вспоминал, что полёт проходил на небольшой высоте, и когда его «Фарман» пролетал над Сухаревой башней, «весь Сухаревский базар вопил: "Ногами заденет! Ногами заденет!" Я и сам боялся столкновения с башней», — признавался Россинский.

21 июля 1913 года, Россинский совершил перелёт с Ходынского поля в Царицыно и обратно на самолёте «Ньюпор». На высоте около 400 метров, он полетел по направлению к Храму Христа Спасителя. Здесь Б.Россинский бросил парашют с грузом — письмо на имя Игнатьева, живущего у Пречистенских ворот. Затем, поднявшись более чем на 1000 метров к Курскому вокзалу, и оттуда к Царицыну. Бросив парашют, с приветом царицынцам и своей визитной карточкой, Б. И. Россинский, не спускаясь, повернул обратно, и вернулся на аэродром. Перелёт продолжался около получаса. Скорость была не менее 100 вёрст в час.

С 1912 года, он — лётчик-испытатель, завода «Дукс» (позднее — «Коммунар», затем «Знамя Труда», «Знамя Революции», ныне — Производственный центр им. П. А. Воронина ВПК МАПО «МиГ»). Со стапелей завода, тогда сходили в основном самолёты зарубежных конструкций: «Фарманы», «Мораны», «Ньюпоры» и другие. Россинский поднял на крыло более полутора тысяч таких машин. В разгар Первой мировой войны он испытывал по 5—6 самолётов в день. На заводе он проработал до 1934 года.

В 1914 году, Россинский работал инструктором в Московской военной школе авиации.

13 мая 1914 года, Россинский полетел на похороны своего учителя, профессора А. П. Гавриленко, и бросил с самолёта Блерио XI цветы, которые точно упали на могилу. Как раз в это время, профессор Н. Е. Жуковский бросил последнюю горсть земли и попрощался с другом.

Дальнейшие полёты
С декабря 1917 по февраль 1918 года Б. И. Россинский — председатель Военно-Революционного комитета по авиации. С марта 1918 года — начальник «Летучей лаборатории», научно-исследовательской работой которой руководил Н. Е. Жуковский.

1 мая 1918 года после окончания первого военного парада РККА лётчик-испытатель Россинский показал собравшимся на митинге на Ходынском поле фигуры высшего пилотажа — сделал 18 «мёртвых петель». После приземления пилота провели на трибуну к В. И. Ленину, сказавшему ему: «Браво, браво, дедушка русской авиации!». Россинский всю жизнь гордился этим прозвищем.

7 ноября 1918 года, в день первой годовщины революции, Б. И. Россинский пролетел на самолёте «Сопвич» над Красной площадью с пассажиром Аросевым, который разбрасывал листовки.

Летом 1919 года Б. И. Россинский изобрёл авиасмесь для замены дефицитного бензина и получил за своё изобретение благодарность в приказе командующего Московским военным округом. Эта смесь состояла на 90 % из газолина и на 10 % — из эфира.

В конце лета 1919 года Б. И. Россинский отправился добровольцем на фронт. С 10 августа по 19 сентября 1919 года служил в отряде особого назначения сформированного против генерала К. К. Мамантова. Летал на истребителе Ньюпор-XXIV.

18 марта 1919 под станцией Березовка, что близ Одессы, Красная армия захватила четыре танка Renault FT-17, и один из них отправили в подарок Ленину для участия в параде на Красной площади. В Москве танкистов не было, и был приглашён Б. Россинский с двумя помощниками. Он в течение ночи разобрался с управлением незнакомой машиной, наладил работу двигателя на изобретённой им смеси, и 1 мая 1919 года танк Renault FT-17 принял участие в праздничном параде на Красной площади. Машиной управлял авиатор Б. Россинский.

24 апреля 1920 года Б. И. Россинский совершит перелёт на самолёте «Сопвич» с мотором 120 л. с. по маршруту Москва-Нижний Новгород-Казань-Самара и обратно. Мотор был заправлен смесью Россинского. Во время этого перелёта была остановка в Нижнем Новгороде, где Б. Россинский познакомился с В. П. Чкаловым, работающим тогда слесарем 4-го авиаотряда.

В 1921 году Б. И. Россинский разработал проект экспедиции на Северный полюс с посадкой на дрейфующий лёд. Этот проект горячо поддерживал Ф. Нансен.

С 1937 по 1941 год Б. И. Россинский занимается агитационной деятельностью по строительству Воздушного флота. На именном самолёте У-2 он облетел с выступлениями всю Россию. В 1937 году Россинский был удостоен звания «почётный пионер города-курорта Сочи» после того, как во время показательных полётов над горой Ахун выполнил несколько петель Нестерова.

Когда началась Великая Отечественная война, Б. И. Россинскому уже исполнилось 57 лет. Его прикомандировали к авиационному отряду особого назначения, но на фронте Россинский не был.

В последующие годы имя Россинского забылось, но на 79-м году жизни он сам напомнил о себе, написав заявление в ЦК КПСС с просьбой принять его в партию. 1 ноября 1962 года центральные газеты СССР напечатали сенсационную новость: старейший авиатор России Борис Илиодорович Россинский принят в члены партии без прохождения кандидатского стажа.

At least half of the most innovative and life-saving medicines that exist today were originally developed in university labs with taxpayer funding. This includes almost all vaccines, many HIV-AIDS and tuberculosis drugs, and even insulin. In the United States, every single one of the 210 most recently approved medicines by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) can be traced back to funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a government agency run with taxpayer dollars*http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2018/02/06/1715368115.
Clinical trials are experiments carried out in clinical research that are designed to evaluate a treatment's impact — positive or negative — on the health of people. The Declaration of Helsinki is a set of ethical principles regarding experimentation on humans developed by the World Medical Association, which states that every clinical trial must be registered and report its results. The timely disclosure of results helps to improve public health outcomes over time by reducing waste in research, increasing efficiency in the use of resources, limiting reporting bias and contributing to enhanced decision-making.
In 2007, the US Congress passed the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act (FDAAA), requiring universities to post the results of clinical trials on Clinicaltrials.gov (a public database of clinical trials) within a year of trial completion. By law, since 2017, America's top research universities have had to post the results of 450 clinical trials. However, 31% of those trials are still missing results on the public registry, in violation of the FDA Amendments Act. Clinical trial transparency is critical for physicians to make informed decisions when prescribing medicines and for researchers to avoid duplicating studies. The failure to comply with US legal requirements in disclosing trial results squanders public funds, hurts patients, and slows the pace of discovering new treatments and cures.
Universities must make public all of their clinical trial protocols and results — past, present and future — on public registries. UAEM urges universities to live up to their social missions and become leaders in the drive for greater clinical trial transparency by becoming signatories of the World Health Organisation's joint statement on public disclosure of results from clinical trials and committing to fully implement its provisions.
of all applicable clinical trials on ClinicalTrials.gov, the world's largest clinical trials register, have not reported results (AllTrials).
The failure to register and report clinical trials results in duplicative studies and incomplete and biased reporting of trials results, distoring the picture of how effective new medicines really are. This squanders public funds, hurts patients, and slows the pace of discovering new treatments and cures.
From 2007 to 2017, 2,896 university-driven trials (79%) failed to post summary results within 12 months of trail completion, in violation of the law.
Source: Ross et al, 2009, which found that 46% of trials on ClinicalTrials.gov, the world's largest clinical trials register, had reported results.
These data visualization tools provide an interactive display of findings from UAEM-TranspariMed Report.
How many trials are still not being reported?
Who is running the most trials?
And are they reporting those trial results?
Who has been working to clean-up the backlog of previously unposted results?
Universities Allied for Essential Medicines (UAEM) and TranspariMED have co-authored a report examining how compliant university-conducted clinical trials are with transparency laws. Using the United States' 40 most active research universities as a sample, both organisations have established that universities — the pioneers in research, medical innovations, education and public service — are poorly performing in terms of reporting trial results and overall transparency.
This student-led project is part of UAEM's broader strategy around pushing for an alternative and transparent biomedical research and development (R&D) system.
This study covers trials run by forty leading U.S. universities that were completed in the year after the Final Rule came into effect. It assesses each university's compliance with U.S. legal reporting requirements since January 2017. In addition, it assesses efforts made by universities during 2015-2017 to clear their backlogs of missing clinical trial results.
The data for charts 1 and 2 on current FDAAA compliance were manually extracted from the FDAAA Trials Tracker and are accurate as of 28 February 2019. The data for chart 3 was extracted from a larger data set originally compiled by STAT News and kindly shared with TranspariMED.
Limitations: the data sets used in this study only cover those clinical trials that are required to have their results posted under U.S. legislation. There is an ethical and scientific obligation to post the summary results of every clinical trial within 12 months of the trial's primary completion date, as the World Health Organization has explicitly stated. Therefore, the data presented here only represent the tip of the iceberg. Universities' overall performance on posting summary results is likely to be far worse than even the figures in this study suggest. As new and more complete data sets become available, UAEM and TranspariMED intend to assess universities' performance across the full range of interventional clinical trials they have sponsored, and across a broader range of trial registries.
