This is probably the most distressing photo I have seen and I've seen alot of bloody and horrific ones. These children are at the hospital in Gaza waiting for their mum who was injured, the oldest girl is clutching the mums handbag looking after it for her. They haven't been told yet that their mum is dead.
Indeed brought tear to my eyes. I pray for their Father Life and hope he is still alive and remain alive until they all grow up.
In these pauses although temporary israel uses its propaganda channels to pump that they are not the initiators of conflict when resistance groups at the end of deadline starts the retaliatory rockets and assaults. Ofcourse it does not matter much after israeli crimes but it is better to act with care whenever possible atleast giving the proper message before the initiation of attack is carried out by resistance groups.
temporary truces like these are opportunities right now. israel would refuse to lift the blockade to continue and kill more palestinians with the make up excuse of retaliatory rocket fires of resistance groups. Currently if a pause like this can be prolonged someway during this resistance groups would have the time to deliver their messages over and over crippling the israeli propaganda channels as well.
The concern to force israel to lift the blockade is very legitimate and already israeli crimes are more than enough to enforce the lifting of the blockade by every means possible. But this should be iterated over and over everytime showing the real responsible of the war . For example during a prolonged pause resistance groups can give time to lift up the blockade and warn that if not lifted until that time they are not responsible for the consequences. That way before they strike they would be giving the proper warning message many times over and over and take away the usual israeli media channels motto of they are not initiators of the conflict.
Other than that in my opinion it is better to truce to continue as long as possible for resistance groups to rearm themselves and heal the wounds of Palestinians as much as possible even the blockade not lifted which israel would never accept.
these rockets( regardless of the effect ) have terrorized the whole of israel , flights are being cancelled, people are being relocated, the logistical loss alone is in millions of USD. its only a matter of time before HAMAS gets more accurate ones .
Israel to pay students $2,000 per week for posting pro-Israel messages on social media.
^^^When you do the stuff they do, they would need much more propaganda to keep in the good graces of people. The Holocaust well is running dry fast.
The OLS (optical locator station) on MIG 35 can detect targets up to 45km range.
This means a ground based OLS sensor without a radar can detect jet aircraft whether stealth or not up to 40 km range which calculates roughly about 25 km range and 20 km altitude. Enough for terminal defense.
If it provides directional information even not range information it can provide this information to an optical targeting system. Optical targeting system can direct aa guns and missiles.
This would prove to be very worthy on hands of Palestinian resistance as well as Hezbollah protecting their people from the genocidal attacks of israeli aircraft. Also the same for resistance in Ukraine protecting themselves from the current american installed regime.
Soviet KS-19 100mm anti-aircraft gun 15km altitude and 20km range. Cheap but practical.
any rocket that can climb 15km altitude and 20km range is sufficient.
Guidance can be very basic like command to line of sight. This is for hide and shot down attacks for guerilla fighters not to protect armor columns like S300. any plane downed will be very costly to replace and will take time.

Hamas forgets to take off the suicide vest from a dead fighter....whoops!
^^^ This video is old and is not from Gaza, not from Palestine in fact. It is from Syria and shows an artillery round fired by Assad's forces on a funeral procession. I mean the Syrian rebel flags are obvious.
Medics carried out an emergency C-section to save the baby's life after her mother died on the operating table.
A DOCTOR HAS hailed the successful delivery of a premature baby from the womb of a woman fatally wounded during an Israeli airstrike as a 'miracle'.
According to Al Jazeera's report on the attack, there were four families inside the two-storey building when it was struck in the middle of the night.
Dr Fadi Al-Khrote, one of the medics who saved the baby, said he believed "what's happened is a miracle" as the infant's mother had been dead for around ten minutes before the operation could be completed.
The little girl's chances of survival are rated at 50/50 by the doctors, according to the BBC.
US Network ABC News reports that the child's father, who is believed to be associated with the group Islamic Jihad, has gone into hiding.
The strikes took the Palestinian death toll in Gaza since Israel launched its offensive on July 8 to 865.
Rockets and mortar rounds fired into Israel have killed three civilians — two Israelis and a Thai farm worker — and fighting in and around Gaza has killed 35 Israeli soldiers.
Human rights watchdogs say that some 80 percent of the Palestinian dead have been civilians, many of them women or children.
PARIS: Police arrested around 50 people at a banned pro-Palestinian protest in central Paris on Saturday that degenerated into clashes between demonstrators and armour-clad riot squads.
The rally, which gathered an estimated 5,000 people in the capital's Place de la Republique, dispersed after 90 minutes during which police who were targeted with rocks and other projectiles responded with tear gas.
The demonstration against Israel's Gaza offensive that has killed more than 1,000 Palestinians comes after other protests last weekend in Paris and a suburb that had also initially been banned descended into chaos.
Organisers of Saturday's protest had tried going to court to get the ban overturned, but they were unsuccessful and Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve warned that they would be held "responsible for any unrest... and liable to penal sanctions".
Of those arrested, some 30 people were detained pending decisions on whether to charge them, according to preliminary figures.
A police source said officers were under strict orders to take in people who made anti-Jewish statements or gestures.
The crowd had turned out with many holding aloft Palestinian flags and the red banners of the far-left New Anticapitalist Party that had called on people to defy the ban.
After an initial peaceful start, police began firing tear gas when some hooded protestors threw cans and other objects at them, and several journalists covering the event were roughed up.
Some 2,000 police were mobilised, and many of them were present on the square to stop the rally from moving on to other parts of the French capital.
Elsewhere in the country, nearly 10,000 people turned out in the eastern city of Lyon for a similar protest, though it was not banned and went off peacefully.
In the southern cities of Marseille and Nice, hundreds also turned up in support for Palestinians.
The Israel-Gaza conflict has stirred passions in France, home to the largest Muslim and Jewish communities in western Europe with around five million Muslims and half a million Jews.
While many protests around the country have gone smoothly, some recent demonstrations in Paris and the suburb town of Sarcelles have descended into chaos.
In Sarcelles last weekend, Jewish businesses were looted and in one violent Paris demonstration two weeks ago, protesters tried to storm two synagogues, raising concerns among the Jewish community about anti-Semitism.
But on Wednesday, several thousand people protested peacefully in Paris.
Not inciting hatred against jews but unless the jewish community which supports israel is put under pressure globally i think the palestine issue will remain.
In 2008: Hamas offered a Hudna, or a truce, for 10 years if Israel withdraws to its pre-67 borders.
In 2012: Hamas agreed to accept the future Palestinian state with in the Pre 67 borders.
In 2014: Without wanting Israel to withdraw from an inch of occupied territory, or cease illegal settlements. Hamas asked for lifting of an illegal siege of Gaza.
And Israel responded to all of this with 3 wars and killing more than 3000 Palestinians.
And then they say, Hamas does not want peace??
The strategy of the resistance is successful. They have taken out about 100 isr soldiers while isr committed crimes and terror but couldnt block the resistance attacks .this showed their face over and over again burying themselves with those crimes. In any future conflict the primary aim is to take out their soldiers and rockets should also target these dense military targets. Rockets to cities are both ineffective and used by zio propaganda machine.However Hezbollah and to a degree ij and hamas should have flame bomb rockets and high yield rockets for deterrance for last resort. Focal plane array infrared sensors can detect jets at higher altitudes without emitter that way even high alt reach old aa guns would be effective.
There is no Hamas, there are no fighters. This is not a battle, its not a war, and its not even genocide. What we are witnessing is modern time human sacrifice.The Palestinian people are nothing more then cattle's and sheep's locked in an open air prison like the flock of sherphard and who are slaughtered every now and then by the chosen race to give as an offering to their God Yaveh aka Ibilis.
Video of Hamas cross-border attack on an Israeli army base, in which they kill the Israeli soldiers and capture their weapons.
I think Hamas should concentrate on attacking Israeli Military AND their infrastructure like power generation and distribution networks, roads bridges etc but mostly power sector. We have seen how power shortages can mess us up. Maybe attack gas pipelines in the winter more and power in summer heat more.
This will minimize the PR damage and help their cause. Rockets have lost their effectiveness as Israelis have become all but secured from them. So they should change strategy and find newer methods to hurt the Israelis without hurting their cause. The only thing that really hurts their cause is attacks on civilians - and that too ineffective ones. The threat of civilian murder only works if you can threaten millions or at least tens of thousands. A few dozen or hundred or even a few thousands wouldn't deter for long - if anything they will further motivate the enemy to be more cruel in their attacks.
Also have a spokesperson who is very well versed in the subject matter AND is good at communicating it effectively (no accents - for English a guy who speaks English perfectly).
ISIS has saudi backing who oppose hamas so ISIS will remain silent.
I don't support these guys or anything, but I think to be fair- ISIS which has not even secured it's own territory properly and is still fighting to properly establish itself against two entrenched Governments cannot be expected to try and start a war with Israel which even the Governments with a lot more resources could win against. If they were that stupid they would have been wiped out right at the start. First your secure your own base then you move onto something further.
Having two separate fronts open is already a dangerous thing in the first place, last thing you need is to bring in Israel and with it the US directly in opposition to you.
That is obviously assuming they intend to at some point in the future to do something though.
Mossad's website went offline at around 00:40 GMT and is still down at the time of writing. The Israeli government has yet to make any comment on the supposed hack attack.
In a previous attack on Monday, Anonymous knocked out multiple Israeli government sites after one of the organization's members died in the West Bank over the weekend. 22-year-old Tayeb Abu Shehada was killed during a protest in the village of Huwwara in the West Bank after Israeli settlers and soldiers opened fire on demonstrators, reported Bethlehem-based Ma'an News Agency.
Anonymous launched a hacking campaign against Israel coinciding with the beginning of Operation Protective Edge on July 7. Anonymous claims that since its operation began, it has taken down "thousands" of Israeli-based websites. The hacktivist group also released 170 log-in details last Monday which they said belonged to Israeli officials.
Anonymous has also issued an appeal to all of its followers to intensify their attacks on Israeli websites.
"We are calling upon the Anonymous collective, and the elite hacker groups to join our crusade, and to wage cyber war against the state of Israel once more," said a public statement from the group posted online last Friday. "As a collective 'Anonymous' does not hate Israel, it hates that Israel's government is committing genocide & slaughtering unarmed people in Gaza to obtain more land at the border."
The group launched hundreds of attacks on Israeli sites two years ago during the Israeli Defense Force's (IDF) previous operation 'Pillar of Defense' in Gaza. Anonymous succeeded in leaking the data of 5,000 Israeli officials and hacking into the Israeli deputy premier's Twitter and Facebook accounts.
The conflict in Gaza shows no signs of relenting with both the IDF and Hamas continuing to exchange rocket fire. The Palestinian Health Ministry reports than over 1.350 people have been killed in Gaza, while the Israeli side has lost 56 soldiers to the fighting.
Other than ir focal plane array ground sensor and higher reach aa guns that can be supplied later on to disable their air attacks Resistance can currently launch high range yield rockets to air bases.if they have accurate sat pictures or info a succesful attack would disable the runways and possibly destroy planes on ground as well.
Finally there are news that 72 hour ceasefire is reached.There should be several things that needs to be considered now.
-israel will provoke resistance to finish the truce and attack .Resistance should prolong ceasefire indefinitely unconditionally unless isr attacks first.
-blockade wont possibly be lifted as long as isr exists but sisi can be convinced to open egypt side fully unconditionally.after isr crimes on Palestinians cooperation with isr would lose him much at least showing he is another american stooge replaced with morsi after he expired.
-amrica eu isr will demand unacceptable stuff like disarmement, rockets or tunnels etc. Then demand criminal isr killing thousands of pals should disarm first.it is with tunnels rockets atgms and similar that made resistance counter isr attacks which isr starts escalates whenever it wants this time with a false flag killing their own teens and accusing resistance.
Palestine has the right to defend itself and have deterrance against war criminals and will not wait annihilation after next israeli false flag or some excuse.
As long as truce continues unconditionally and egypt side of border is open it can be status quo and resistance can wait heal and get stronger not a big problem.
Israel broke the ceasefire a short while ago and attacked Rafah, so far 40 civilians are confirmed dead.
Then we have people like Felicius defending Israel and blaming Hamas for breaking ceasefires, when in reality its Israel which breaks agreements and ceasefires every single time.
40 people in one attack? Just today?
Yes just today. The death toll has crossed 50.
Resistance can use the captured isr soldier to restart and prolong ceasefire. After afew days he can be given back. Meanwhile it wont be easy for isr to break ceasefire with the usual rocket or mortar launched so kill a 100 more civs cause. Then it can be prolonged until isr starts again but supplies can be used to heal pals atleast during that time.sisi is an american stooge for sure replaced with morsi but he can be pressured to open egypt palestine border. Countries like you mentioned can press Egypt for this. Ofcourse nazis wont do anything pressuring isr america nexus is futile.
6. Ok we kill far more civilians than they do, but look at how terrible other countries are!
7. Why are you still talking about Israel ? Are you some kind of anti-semite?
No taking them prisoner is good. It shows they are not the invincible warriors they claim to be. This is not a war. They are not fighting a people that can fight back yet they are supported by the whole world including muslim world. Poor peoplr of palestine have Allah alone and prayers of a few. May Allah bring them peace and victory.


SPARTANBURG COUNTY, S.C. (WSVN) — A South Carolina woman has been arrested after she was accused of attacking the girlfriend of her child's father with a stun gun.
According to WSPA, deputies arrested 22-year-old Savanna Grace White after she got into a fight with the victim.
Police said they were called to the scene and found two women fighting on the ground.
According to an arrest report obtained by the station, White drove to the home, pulled out a stun gun and attacked the girlfriend of her child's father.
However, deputies said the victim was able to get the stun gun away from White, fight her back and hold her until help arrived.
White's child was in the car at the time of the attack, according to the police report.
According to WYFF, the victim told deputies she went to the sheriff's office earlier that morning to get a restraining order against White, who she said was harassing her.
White said she went to the home to confront the woman because she felt she had been abusing her child, and she had only brought the stun gun for self-defense.
White was later arrested and charged with third-degree assault and battery.
A family member was called to the home to pick up the child.

ADHD kids: which are their special needs?
ADHD, the abbreviation for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a condition affecting people?s behavior and attitude. It is often observed and diagnosed during the first years of live, and it seems that a recent study has shown that more than 10% of children in school suffer from this disorder. So, in case your kid is one of them, do not be worried. Of course, it means it has certain special needs and may not act completely normal all the time, but this does not mean they cannot lead a normal life. Sometimes, parents who notice their children are somehow hyper energetic and dynamic think they are dealing with ADHD, but this is not always true. For this reason, it is extremely important to take the kid to a specialized doctor as soon as you notice anything strange happening. An experienced doctor will run many dedicated tests to establish an accurate diagnose and prescribe proper medication. Fortunately, nowadays there are multiple treatments and solutions, such as weighted blankets for ADHD, aimed to sooth and alleviate symptoms.
The most important thing you need to know is that the patient has to be correctly diagnosed. In order to get this, keep in mind you will have to go through several stages of testing, which involve gathering information from many sources. This way, experts get access to a wide array of perspectives on the child?s behavior. The most common symptoms of ADHD consist in inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. So, if your kid is always in motion, easily distracted and cannot finish their tasks or do not seem to listen to what is happening around them, you should consider talking to a specialist. After seeing their medical history, performing a physical exam and comparing the child?s behavior to that of pupils of the same age, the doctor will set the diagnostic. In case your kid is actually suffering from ADHD, rest assured this does not mean there is no cure and they will remain the same their entire life.
There are several behavioral treatments you can try, and these work perfectly for those whose symptoms are not that severe. For starters, visit InYard to purchase dedicated products aimed to help you control any type of disturbance. Another important thing you should do is design a more structured schedule, including setting expectations and goals, together with the kid. Establish a clear routine and inform them firmly but gentle that they need to respect it and complete their tasks. Invest in a weight blanket for ADHD and use it every time you think the child is agitated or hyperactive. Try to streamline their social skills, because later on this will evolve into the ability to build social relationships. If you feel like you need more ideas, you can even join a support group made of parents of children who also suffer from ADHD. ?Remember that medical treatment requires a detailed previous history, because different patients may respond differently to the same drugs.

Bishop Charles Warren Currier (March 22, 1857 in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, USA - September 23, 1918 in Maryland, USA) was the first bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Matanzas (1913–1914).  His parents were Warren Green Currier (born in New York) and  Deborah Heyliger of the Netherlands.

He studied at the College of Our Lady of the Assumption, Roermond, Limburg, the Netherlands, and at Saint Alphonsus Seminary in Wittem, Limburg. He joined the missionary order the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer (Redemptorists) in 1875 and was ordained a priest on November 24, 1880 in Amsterdam by Bishop Henry Schaap (vicar apostolic of Surinam). In January 1881, he arrived in Surinam for his first missionary assignment where he remained until 1882.  In November 1891 he was allowed to leave the Redemptorists and then worked in the Archdiocese of Baltimore.

On June 25, 1910 he was appointed Bishop of Zamboanga, Philippines, by Pope Pius X, but he declined.  Because he had published articles on Cuban history, he was appointed on April 26, 1913, as the first Bishop of Matanzas. In Rome, on July 6, 1913, he was consecrated by Cardinal Diomede Angelo Raffaele Gennaro Falconio, O.F.M., and assisted by Domenico Serafini, Titular Archbishop of Seleucia Pieria, and  Donato Sbarretti, Titular Archbishop of Efeso, Bishop Emeritus of Havana.

He arrived in Matanzas on November 3, 1913, and took position of the archdiocese the following day. He repaired and redecorated the Cathedral of San Carlos Borromeo that was in poor condition.  Due to his poor health he resigned his position as Bishop of the Archdiocese of Matanzas on February 11, 1914, and was appointed Titular Bishop of Hetalonia on June 15, 1915.

Bishop Currier knew Greek and Hebrew and was fluent in Latin, English, Dutch, Spanish, French, German, and Italian.

Bishop Currier died on September 23, 1918, on a train traveling from Waldorf, Maryland, to Baltimore to assist in the funeral of Cardinal John Murphy Farley, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York. His funeral took place in the Cathedral of Baltimore, where he is also buried.

Former Phillies pitcher Miguel Alfredo González dies in car accident
Patrick Gordon, Managing Editor Friday, November 24, 2017 Phillies
By Patrick Gordon, Managing Editor , Friday, November 24, 2017 Labels: Phillies No comments
Former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez has died, the team confirmed Friday. The 34-year-old passed away Thursday in a car accident in his native Cuba, according to multiple reports.
The Phillies signed the highly-coveted Cuban right-hander in 2013 to a three-year deal, but arm injuries plagued his career and he made just six appearances at the big league level earning a 6.75 ERA over five and a third innings all in 2014. The Phillies released him in April of 2016.
The hard-throwing righty starred for the Cuban national team before defecting to El Salvador in 2013. He then moved to Mexico and received interest from nearly a dozen teams before signing with the Phillies.
"The Phillies are saddened to learn about the passing of former pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez," the team said in a statement via Twitter. "Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time."

Lessons from Olympic Athletes
© Photo by Chung Sung-Jun/Getty Images
AFTER spending her childhood running through the streets of Casablanca, Nawal El Moutawakel used her running talent to earn a track scholarship to Iowa State University. There she won titles and, in 1984, became the only woman on the Moroccan team at the Los Angeles Olympics. She blew away her competition in the 400-meter hurdles earning Morocco its first gold medal, making history by becoming the first female Muslim born on the continent of Africa to win an Olympic gold medal. As she ran her victory lap with a large Moroccan flag in hand, citizens back home poured into the streets of Casablanca in the middle of the night to celebrate.
A national hero, Nawal uses her celebrity status to help other Muslim women in sports. Although Morocco supported her athletic effort, Nawal knew other Muslim women were not as fortunate. She organized a women's 10K race in Casablanca, which now draws more than 27,000 participants. Nawal continues to provide sports leadership in her country. In 2006 she was one of the eight bearers of the Olympic flag at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony in Turin, Italy and in 2012 she carried the Olympic torch through Westminster for the London Olympics.
Today she sums up her triumph saying, "My athletic race was the 400-meter hurdles, but it has been a metaphor for my life… You have to get over the hurdles and keep running." That statement is excellent advice for everyone, especially those who are in positions of leadership. Working with others and guiding organizations means getting over hurdles and moving forward. Olympic athletes are among the most disciplined, determined and dedicated people on the planet. This is something acknowledged in Scripture by the apostle Paul, who wrote, "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize" (1 Corinthians 9:24).
This year the 2018 Winter Olympics, officially known as the XXIII Olympic Winter Games and commonly known as PyeongChang 2018, is a major international multi-sport event scheduled to take place from 9 to 25 February in Pyeongchang County, South Korea. The lives of Olympians and their achievements offer us these six lessons.
Triumph over adversity
Olympians know adversity can be turned into advantage. Writer Napoleon Hill said, "Every adversity carries within it the seed of equal or greater benefit." That truth is clearly seen in the life of Hungarian pistol champion Karoly Takacs. In 1938 Takacs was serving in the Hungarian Army and was the top pistol shooter in the world. He planned to participate in the 1940 Olympics, where it was expected he would win the gold medal. Those hopes were dashed one day when, during a routine military training exercise a grenade exploded in Takacs' right hand. His shooting arm was blown off. In the hospital Takacs experienced deep depression over the loss of his right hand and his Olympic dreams.
However, Takacs took on his greatest challenge deciding he would re-learn how to shoot with his left hand. For months Takacs practiced by himself. Not even his closest companions knew what he was doing because he didn't want any negative voices discouraging him. That spring of 1939 he showed up at the Hungarian National Pistol Shooting Championship. Other competitors greeted Takacs offering condolences as well as commending him for coming to watch them shoot. "I didn't come to watch," he explained. "I came to compete!" They were shocked and then stunned when he won the competition. Though the Olympics were cancelled in 1940 and 1944 because of war, Takacs continued to train. He won gold medals at both the London (1948) and Helsinki (1952) Olympics. Ironically, pistol competitions don't receive much attention, but it was Takacs' triumph over adversity which generated great interest and enduring inspiration.
Olympians focus on the positive. A commonly spoken proverb says, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." Olympic achievers set aside the negative to focus on the positive. During World War II, Tamio (Tommy) Kono and his parents were forced from their home in San Francisco to a Japanese internment camp in the Californian desert. A scrawny, asthmatic child, Kono found the desert climate better for his lungs. To pass the time, he began lifting weights, discovering it was something he enjoyed and was good at. After the war, Kono continued training harder and harder. Within a decade he was the key factor in the success of the US national weightlifting team. Despite his family detention he proudly represented his country winning gold medals in 1952 and 1956 as well as a silver in 1960. The scrawny, unhealthy youth who was forced into an internment camp eventually set 7 Olympic records and 26 world records. In addition, he went on to become Mister Universe three times. None of that may have happened had he not been confined to an internment camp, where he focused on what was available, not what was left behind.
Importance of integrity
Olympians know the importance of integrity. Abraham Lincoln said, "I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside me." That kind of integrity was important to Canadian Olympic sailor Lawrence Lemieux. At the 1988 Games in Seoul, Lemieux was sailing at a quick clip and on his way to the gold medal when he heard cries of two Singaporean sailors competing in a different event nearby. One of them was desperately clinging to his boat which had capsized under 6 foot waves. The other sailor was swept more than 50 feet away by the currents. Lemieux recalls, "My thought process was: do they really need help because a lot of times you are able to save yourself?" He called out to them, but they couldn't hear him. Instead of remaining in the race, Lemieux set course for the sailors pulling them onto his boat. Later it became clear that one if not both of the sailors would have drowned. Because of his actions Lemieux came in 23rd place. "I could have won the gold," he said "but, in the same circumstances, I would do what I did again." Lemieux' act, however, did not go unrewarded. The International Olympic Committee presented him with the Pierre de Coubertin medal for sportsmanship. Olympic Committee President Juan Antonio Samaranch said, "By your sportsmanship, self-sacrifice and courage, you embody all that is right with the Olympic ideal." Olympic athletes know the importance of integrity. They do not adhere to the mistaken philosophy of winning at all costs.
Justice & fairness
Olympians maintain a sense of justice and fairness towards others. The best Olympians compete fiercely, but also guide their lives by justice, fairness and comradeship. At the men's pole vault event in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, five athletes reached the final competition. Among them were Earle Meadows of the United States and two Japanese athletes – Shuhei Nishida and Sueo Oi. Meadows took first place. After five hours of competition, Nishida and Oe tied for second place. The Japanese teammates were offered a final opportunity to have a jump-off for the silver medal, but the two friends declined out of mutual respect for each other. For the purposes of Olympic medal record keeping, Oe agreed to accept the bronze while Nishada took the silver. Upon their return to Japan, Nishada and Oe had a jeweler cut their Olympic medals in two and exchanged one piece with each other. Putting the bronze and silver halves together, they created a medal which came to be known all over Japan as the "Medal of Friendship."
Determination & discipline
Olympians are highly determined and disciplined. Author Roy L. Smith observed, "Discipline is the refining fire by which talent becomes ability." For Olympians there are no short cuts to success. They are not easily discouraged. Clara Hughes was a 15 year-old girl who was inspired by the 1988 Olympic games held in Calgary. She turned to her mother declaring, "I want to go to the Olympics for speed skating." At 16 she took up the sport, eventually earning a berth on the Canadian team. At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, she earned a gold and a silver medal. Behind those moments of success was a long period of disciplined training. Hughes spent seven weeks of twice daily training so intense that she had to sleep between sessions just to get through the second one. Included were drills where she had to bend so low in the skating position that it brought tears to her eyes and numbness from her toes to her nose. Of the training regimen, Hughes said, "I think I can handle a lot of pain, but that doesn't help me when it's going to happen again where I feel like my heart's going to explode and my lungs are burning and my legs can't even support my own weight. To actually go beyond that and to go harder in the last third in the race is something I don't even like talking about, it's so hard. But that's what I need to train for, and that's my goal, to get to that point, and be able to just viciously attack as if I am fighting for my life. That's it. That's all I want." Clara Hughes is one of the few Olympians to win medals in both the Winter and Summer Olympics, where she was competed in road race cycling.
Nothing is impossible
Olympians turn setbacks into comebacks. Those who compete in Olympic games understand this wisdom from Henry Ford, "Life is a series of experiences, each of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward." Toward the end of World War II, Lis Hartel, a 23-year-old woman from Denmark was emerging as one of her country's best equestrian riders. In 1944 she became pregnant and contracted polio. Although the illness left her almost totally paralyzed, she gave birth to a healthy baby girl. Determined to fight back and return to equestrian competition, Hartel began exercising. At first, she could only lift one arm and use some thigh muscles. Then she began to crawl, and within eight months of being diagnosed with paralyzing polio she was walking using crutches. Eventually she got on a horse again, and though she was paralyzed below the knees, she concentrated on how to ride and perform without the benefit of those muscles. Despite needing help mounting and dismounting from her horse, she competed for Denmark at the 1952 Games, winning a silver medal in a sport almost entirely dominated by healthy men. Her feat is even more remarkable when it is understood that equestrian dressage competition demands near-perfect interplay between horse and rider. The rider's commands are supposed to be invisible; a nudge with the knee there, a tiny pull of the reins there. No loud, noisy commands are to be made. Hartel continued riding, winning another silver medal in the 1956 Games.
Be like this Olympian. Turn a setback into a comeback. Apply to your life this wisdom from author Francois De La Rochefoucauld: "Nothing is impossible; there are ways that lead to everything, and if we had sufficient will we should always have sufficient means. It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible."

Somehow managed to run about 12 miles this morning. Actually this afternoon. I got home from AJ's around 10am and then ran around 10:30. So no wonder I got so sunburned! My plan was 14 miles but I was just too tired. Then we went to Green Mill for jazz!! I've only been there once for Paper Machete so I was so excited to try something new. We scored seats right at the bar; it was perfect and the music was amazing. Highly recommend. The cover was $15 but more than worth it.

Södra was founded in 1938 and is the largest forest-owner association in Sweden, with a membership of close to 52,000 forest owners. Södra is also an international forest industry Group, with 3,400 employees around the world. Net sales in 2017 were 20.5 SEK billion. Balancing production efficiency with nature conservation guides everything that we do. We produce timber, interior wood products, pulp for paper and textiles, and green energy. We use every part of the tree, and are always looking to develop new products from this fantastic, renewable raw material. Södra is a world-leading producer of market pulp and also owns one of the largest sawmill operations in Europe. Through value-generating relationships and a long-term approach, Södra is leading the way for the future of sustainable forestry.
Södra's Pressroom
Södra, Skogsudden, 351 89 Växjö
+46 (0)470 - 890 90
http://www.sodra.com
press@sodra.com
Södra works actively, where possible, to concentrate nature conservation considerations to specific sites, and this has generated results. By concentrating nature conservation considerations, we can maximise both nature conservation benefits and the production potential. Many species benefit more when trees are left in groups rather than spreading them out across a harvesting area.
Klara Joelsson, ecologist, Södra.
The 2018 result is the best in Södra's history. We were able to meet the strong demand for our products due to extensive investments of approximately SEK 11 billion in our pulp mills and sawmills, and new innovations over the past four years. We also completed efficiency improvements and restructured our operations. Södra has thus strengthened its competitiveness.
Lars Idermark, President and CEO.
Society's expectations of how this renewable raw material from the forest can help to combat climate change is clear. We are therefore investing to create opportunities for increasing forest production using low-impact methods in family forestry.
Lars Idermark, President and CEO of Södra.
Such a high level of demand is a positive trend. Control-pollinated seeds will produce higher quality trees and improve tree growth. This will increase the returns that forest owners receive from harvesting, and improve the quality of the end-products.
Johan Jonsson, Head of Södra Skogsplantor.
Forests can play a key role in the transition to fossil-free air transport. Together with our partners, we now have the expertise required to move forward. Combined with financial support from the Swedish Energy Agency, Sweden can lead the development of new technologies to solve a major challenge
Henrik Brodin, Business Developer and Project Manager for "A Fossil-Free Södra."
In the third quarter, profit was very satisfactory, especially in light of the challenges for timber sourcing and production caused by the summer's extreme weather conditions.
Due to several years of successful efficiency improvements, our fossil-free production target will soon be achieved by all of our production units. It is very gratifying that our nurseries have already reached this goal.
Henrik Brodin, project manager for 'A fossil-free Södra.'
The journey of change undertaken by Södra's sawmills in recent years is now yielding results in terms of more competitive production and a better offering to our customers.
Jörgen Lindquist, President of the Södra Wood business area.
I am proud of what we have done at Långasjö. With this investment of SEK 100 million, we have created an efficient and modern sawmill where we can produce even higher volumes at a lower cost and meet the demand for our sustainable products. The investment makes the facility well-equipped for the future and strengthens our market position.
There are several reasons for this robust earnings trend. The favourable global economy has contributed to high demand and a positive price trend for Södra's products in both market pulp and the sawn timber area. We are also seeing the positive effects of our comprehensive expansion investments in the pulp mills, and the efficiencies and restructuring we have achieved in sawn timber production.
It is a great honour to receive this award and it is an accolade to all of our fantastic coworkers at Södra. Committed employees are, and will always be, what drive our company forwards. At Södra, it is not only the forest that must grow. We are a company that shows the way and where we grow together as we move into the future. There is still work to be done, but the award is confirmation that we are on the right track.
Kamilla Svensson, HR strategist at Södra.
This is very gratifying, both for Södra and society as a whole. It confirms that the transition to fossil-fuel independence is not only possible, but that Södra is also able to lead the way in this area
Lars Idermark, CEO
Forest growth is continuously increasing and we have twice as much forest now compared with 100 years ago, a trend that we want to continue. One of Södra's sustainability targets is a 20-percent higher rate of forest growth on our members' estates by 2050. Because they lead to better yields, our cultivars are important for achieving that target.
Despite the difficult conditions created by a very wet autumn and winter, we could effectively limit the negative impacts of our harvesting and thinning on soil and water. The positive results are due to our systematic nature conservation activities over the past 20 years, and good teamwork and coordination between our competent contractors and field workers.
Therese Lindström, ecologist, Södra.
These two factors combined indicate a highly positive trend. Södra has been working systematically to improve nature conservation in forestry since the 1990s with the aim of strengthening biodiversity. The growing number of birds in forests is due to several underlying factors – ongoing climate change is believed to be one, but we are also seeing how a greater focus on nature conservation has promoted forest bird populations.
Therese Lindström, ecologist at Södra.
We are delighted to have set a record for the third consecutive year. Our focus on more digitised production is starting to yield results in the form of higher volumes, and improved seedlings with more even quality.
Johan Jonsson, Head of Södra Skogsplantor
Timber is a fantastic material to build with and we are seeing a growing interest globally to build in a more environmentally sustainable manner using wood.
Andreas Jonasson, Marketing Manager at Södra Wood.
The hardwoods have regenerated almost 100 percent naturally and in the most recent inventory, they accounted for about 25 percent of the dominant tree species compared with 18 percent in 2000. The reason for this increase has not been studied in any detail, but it's probably due to a more positive view of hardwood trees among forest owners.
Göran Örlander, forestry strategist at Södra.
This is a milestone decision. The forest offers enormous potential when it comes to finding new and sustainable solutions for products that were previously confined to fossil raw material. Södra has expert knowledge in forests and industrial processes to extract high-quality products from forest raw material, while Statkraft is specialised in energy. This is a strong combination.
Catrin Gustavsson, Head of Innovation and New Business at Södra.
By being open to new methods, we can also continually adapt our way of working. In this way, we are making an even greater contribution to our owners and their forests, as well as to society as a whole, which benefits from well-managed forests
We are very pleased with this substantial increase. It shows how we can use innovation and investments in green industry to meet important societal needs
Roine Morin, Sustainability Director at Södra
Growth in China is robust. With the increased volumes provided by our investments we can tap into this growth. Demand for raw material from certified forest is on the increase with a clear focus on sustainability, and this is something we can contribute towards.
Magnus Björkman, Vice President Marketing and Sales, Södra Cell International.
More and more people are realising why we need to switch to fossil-free alternatives, but products must also move forward. We have access to the best and most renewable raw material available – forests. We also have the industrial expertise required for these types of complex and innovative Products.
Catrin Gustavsson, Senior Vice President of Innovation and New Business at Södra.
This is a very positive trend that we can also see on a global scale. Timber construction is by far the most environmentally friendly alternative and a condition for the global change to a more sustainable society.
Andreas Jonasson, Marketing Manager at Södra Wood
Both producers and consumers are demanding sustainable alternatives to packaging made from fossil-based materials like plastic. This is where the forest and the forest industry have a lot to offer. We have a fantastic, renewable commodity and we have the knowledge and experience to develop new solutions that are required for a climate-smart future. DuraPulp is a 100-percent sustainable alternative that is well-suited for packaging intended for sensitive substances such as food.
Erik Bengtson, business developer at Södra
While forests are playing an increasingly significant role in the bio-based community, the conditions for forestry are changing. We have made a lot of progress with forestry in southern Sweden, but we want more. There is more to do in terms of both production rates and diversity. This research will contribute. It will create even more opportunities for a stable and forest-based future.
Göran Örlander, Chairman of the Södra Research Foundation
We want more people to discover the joy and opportunities presented by the forest. Grow Forest is a way to welcome the next generation of forest owners and employees. Public awareness of forestry and forest products is relatively low and through this game, we hope to arouse curiosity and create new insights.
Håkan Larsson, President of the Södra Skog business area.
We see a broad social trend. Wood is becoming increasingly popular as a building material for both private construction and multi-unit solutions. There is a growing awareness that wood is by far the most climate-smart alternative for construction.
Fredrik Gustavson, Sales Director at Södra Wood.
The forest contains solutions to many current and future challenges. We would like more people to learn more about this – and perhaps also make a contribution.
Martina Gustafsson, HR Manager at Södra Skog.
The increased digitisation of the nursery, including more computer-controlled platforms, will be highly significant for raising the quality and quantity of production. The nursery's resources can be used more effectively, which will help us improve our contribution to ensuring new forests in Sweden.
Ida Karlsson, Manager of Södra's nursery at Flåboda.
Fossil-free and climate-positive operations are high on Södra's agenda. It is only natural, therefore, that we sign up for the challenge from Fossil Free Sweden and we hope that many others will do the same.
We are happy about the County Administrative Board's decision. The use of drones makes field work in forests safer, more time-efficient and comprehensive. It's a good example of a new solution in the move towards digital forestry.
Johan Malmqvist, Project Manager, Södra Skog.
Several studies have shown that gender-equal companies are more profitable. Accordingly, the entire association benefits from having an equal-opportunities approach.
Magnus Berg, Director of Members at Södra.
The higher rating for our environmental considerations is continuing. Södra has been working systematically with nature conservation for 20 years, by training our forestry professionals and the harvesting contractors who work for us, for example, and we are now seeing the results in the form of greater consideration for the environmental impact of our regeneration harvests
Henrik Holmberg, acting ecologist at Södra
More than 90 percent of the forest plants we sell today are cultivated saplings with higher growth rates than non-cultivated saplings. Since the forest can be used for many products that are needed in the transition to a climate-compatible future, stable access to forest raw material is critical for all of society.
Construction is on the increase and interest in sawn timber is growing in Poland.
I am very happy that we are further realising our efforts through this investment. We have so much to contribute on climate issues and in the shift to a fossil-free society. This clearly shows how we as a company can take part in and lead the way in this transition.
This represents an important step to further enhance consideration of water and the nature conservation value associated with water. The forest is an important element in facilitating the transition to a fossil-free society, and thus a good balance between active management and effective environmental consideration is required.
Tomas Rahm, Environmental Manager, Södra Skog.
Research suggests that – if executed effectively – returning nutrients to healthy forest land could result in increased forest growth for at least ten years after the bio-ash is spread.
Hedvig Johansson, Project Manager
This confirms an important trend for timber construction. Sweden is becoming increasingly aware of the fantastic raw material that wood represents. Our joint efforts to realise fossil-free alternatives benefit all of society.
Jörgen Lindqvist, Business Area President for Södra Wood
The digital technology represents an enormous development, both for forest owners and for us. We have improved overview and the ability to make better decisions while contributing to both increased production and improved nature conservation.
Håkan Larsson, President of the Södra Skog business area
As a Group operating in the green sector, it is important for us to be a sustainability leader. Our operations can offer so many social benefits in the transition to a bioeconomy. We are now increasing the tempo by giving these targets the same status as our financial targets.
Lars Idermark, Group President and CEO

Bielsa has Leeds United fans singing his name in first game
Tony Harber
Published: 14:26 Updated: 14:50 Wednesday 08 August 2018
Head coach Marcelo Bielsa was not entirely satisfied with every aspect of his new team's play, but could not have wished for a much brighter start at Leeds United.
A 3-1 victory over a Stoke City side just down from the Premiership in front of a bumper near capacity Elland Road crowd represented a good day for fans, players, management and owner following changes made in the summer.
Leeds United celebrate Mateusz Klich scoring their first goal of the season in the win against Stoke. Picture: Tony Johnson.
The Bielsa revolution is under way and he even had supporters singing his name in his very first game in charge.
But now the trick is to maintain the feel-good factor. Flying starts have been made before – only last year there was just as much enthusiasm around and look at how that turned out.
It is on to Derby County now on Saturday evening for the second Sky Bet Championship game and another big test for United against a team who chop and change managers almost as frequently as Leeds.
Frank Lampard is the latest to be tasked with taking the Rams into the Premier and he got off to a winning start at Reading thanks to a late goal.
Before then all eyes will be on the new earlier transfer deadline day, which means all permanent deals have to be done by tomorrow night.
Based on what was on show last weekend – and what they had in reserve on the bench – Leeds look well enough served in the attacking department.
But following the sale of Ronaldo Vieira and an injury to Adam Forshaw that will keep him out for at least a couple of months they could do with another defensive midfielder and they still remain light in central defence.
Conflicting reports have seen United linked with a number of players, including former Huddersfield Town midfielder Oliver Norwood and defenders Tommy Elphick and Steven Caulker, while also eyeing up the loan market, which for Football League clubs is still open until the end of August.

It takes time, aptitude and sensitivity to become skilled in tuning a musical instrument. A professional solo pianist or violinist, for example, is immediately aware when their instrument has lost even a fraction of pitch. An untutored ear may not be so acutely aware. In an orchestral setting an individual instrument, losing pitch, may take shelter amongst fellow instrumentalists. The soloist has nowhere to hide.
Top soloists regard stillness and silence to be essential when rehearsing even familiar pieces of work. For no two performances are the same. Just as repeated walks through familiar countryside constantly bring us to a fresh appraisal of our loved and known surroundings.
We are able to hear those four lines (12:41-44) read at Mass this 32nd. Sunday. (St. Luke covers the same incident in 21:1-4) They describe Jesus teaching his disciples about self-giving. The incident is known as 'The Widow's Mite'. Incidentally, the phrase, 'The Widow's Mite', has been woven into common usage to categorise something as being insignificant. Many, who use the phrase today, are unaware of its Biblical origin. But that is true, sadly, of so many Gospel events. Christians are lamentably aware of how Christmas, for example, is widely observed as a festive holiday but precious few now acknowledge the Holy-Day of the Incarnation of God-made-Man.
It may surprise some Ignatian silent-retreat first-timers that during the first two of their eight days they have no set programme to follow. Instead, they are encouraged to familiarise themselves with their surroundings getting to know the Centre, especially adjusting to being still in the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. Equally important, weather allowing, is a familiarisation with the gardens and woodlands with all their distinctive colours and sounds, from the rustling of leaves high in the canopy to the calls of hidden birds. For would-be retreatants hailing from cities and towns, where the decibel level of general noise is both high and constant, this extended exposure to silence and its replacement with nature's natural sounds can be a little unsettling before becoming a welcome revelation!
Being silent in church does not equate with achieving interior stillness. Most journeys from home to church are relatively brief and not free of noise and distraction. Then there is the accumulated 'noise' we carry within us made up of previous happenings or plans for the future. Most people carry a mobile phone. It is estimated that the average Brit checks his/her mobile device every twelve minutes. So, while we imagine we are silently listening to the reading of the Gospel there remains a cacophony of interior 'noise' still reverberating within us - ten to fifteen minutes after we entered the church building! In fact, if we estimate that Sunday Mass lasts about 50 to 60 minutes, we are leaving church little altered by being relatively silent. Sadly, we are also likely to be leaving with an insufficiently shallow uptake on the teaching of Jesus to help us face the week ahead.
So, what might we have gleaned from the Gospel of 'The Widow's Mite' had we been able to prepare with a prolonged period of stillness and silence? Well, for one thing we would have noticed that Jesus made no judgement about the widow's reasoning or her action. We may find that strange because it is precisely what many, hearing this Gospel read aloud, will do. Society has formed us to be judgemental. Just about everybody - ourselves excepted - and everything comes within the orbit of our judicial review where we are not only judge and jury but also the Court of Appeal!
In earlier times, the Gospels would have been peoples' touchstone. Nowadays so many, having lost contact with the content of the Gospels, are no longer able to apply Gospel norms in their everyday life. Instead, people today, when making either conscious or subconscious judgements and evaluations, use standards promoted by a secularist society and the current media climate.
"… she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood".
It is possible that Jesus had previously met that poor widow. Maybe she had witnessed how he drove the money-changers and sellers out of the Temple: "How dare you turn my Father's house into a market place" (John 2:16). People like that widow were drawn to Jesus, as the Gospels show time and again. Perhaps, then, she had told him of her circumstances.
People actively choose to employ secularist and political norms in making their daily judgements and evaluations when they cease to have a living relationship with Jesus Christ. Thereafter, they subconsciously allow what has filled that void, and become their everyday norm, to proceed unchecked!
The untested results of such judgemental behaviour are retained, subconsciously, to become a contributive factor in all subsequent judgements and assessments. Over time these layers of untested subconscious assessments slowly grow, like a cancer of bias, skewing our ability to make a conscience-directed judgement when it is vital that we should. So, for example, when Satan weaves his disingenuously dangerous temptations, we are tempted to pass them off as of little import.
Today, in times of human disaster, television coverage features the poor, because they have lost the little they had. Their plight brings home to worldwide viewers, in a clear way, the scope of the devastation. It is revealing, too, how the poor often talk of their trust in God, with an utterly genuine faith, despite their appalling circumstances. But do viewers hear that promulgation of faith for what it is?
Only God and the widow knew the intentions motivating that widow to give her two small coins (something of almost negligible value) to the Temple. Jesus saw and did not judge other than to acknowledge that in giving our love to God there should be no room for calculation. Jesus' tortuous steps to Calvary were made up of a freely-chosen, totally committed love, that cost Him everything. There's a challenge in hearing such a teaching and perhaps, rather than be so challenged, we are tempted to take shelter in noise!


PHILADELPHIA -- Carter Hart made 20 saves in his NHL debut to help Scott Gordon win his first game as Philadelphia Flyers coach, 3-2 against the Detroit Red Wings at Wells Fargo Center on Tuesday.
Gordon was promoted from Lehigh Valley of the American Hockey League on Monday after Dave Hakstol was fired.
Hart, recalled from Lehigh Valley on Monday, is the sixth starting goalie for the Flyers this season; they're the first team in NHL history to start six goalies in the first 35 games of a season.
"I was just trying to play my game and trust my game, focus on the things that have gotten me to this point and not do things that are out of my control or out of my comfort zone," Hart said.
James van Riemsdyk and Shayne Gostisbehere each had a goal and an assist for Philadelphia (13-15-4), which ended a four-game losing streak with its fourth win in 15 games (4-8-3).
"I think it's a big relief for everybody," said Gordon, who coached his first NHL game since Nov. 13, 2010. "The record over the last little stretch would be frustrating for anybody. Myself, you always want to start on the right foot. Carter, it was a real fair game for him to have as his first game, wasn't under a lot of duress. And the team to go through what it's had to go through coming in here ... I thought our energy level was great throughout. It was a good way to start."
Dennis Cholowski and Jacob de la Rose scored for the Red Wings (14-16-5), who have lost four games in a row.
"I thought we had tons of guys with their B and C games, not even close to enough guys with their A games," Detroit coach Jeff Blashill said.
Jonathan Bernier made 30 saves. He started after Jimmy Howard injured his back during warmups.
"Obviously, it's not the ideal [situation], but at the same time, like I said, you know, you come to a rink, you've got to make sure you're ready for whatever reason," Bernier said.
Blashill said Howard won't practice Wednesday, but he didn't expect his injury to be a long-term issue.
Van Riemsdyk gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead when he redirected Claude Giroux's shot from the point with 1:27 left in the first period.
Cholowski tied the game 1-1 for the Red Wings with a power-play goal at 4:12 of the second.
Radko Gudas put the Flyers ahead 2-1 with a slap shot from the right face-off circle at 8:52. The goal was upheld after Blashill challenged for goalie interference by van Riemsdyk.
Gostisbehere gave Philadelphia a 3-1 lead with his first goal in 16 games at 15:17 of the second.
De la Rose scored two minutes into the third period to make it 3-2.
Hart's poise, especially late in the game defending a one-goal lead, impressed his teammates.
"He's got ice in his veins if you watch him out there," van Riemsdyk said. "Every time it seemed like we needed to rely on him, he made a key save and a big save for us."
Hart tried his best to treat it like just another game, but he said he had trouble sleeping Monday.
"Just followed my routine and tried to keep a quiet mind and prepare the same as I always do," he said. "Boys did a really good job of shutting them down and didn't give them much offense. They played really well tonight."
Larkin had an assist on Cholowski's goal to give him 11 points (four goals, seven assists) during an eight-game point streak. ... Hart (20 years, 127 days) is the youngest Flyers goalie to win his NHL debut and the youngest NHL goalie to win his debut since Carey Price (20 years, 55 days) on Oct. 10, 2007, for the Montreal Canadiens. ... Justin Kowalkoski, 32, was the emergency backup goalie for the Red Wings. A geologist, he played four seasons at Colgate University (2004-08). ... Gordon was 64-94-23 in three seasons as coach of the New York Islanders (2008-10).

Since the Celtic Revival of the 19th century, the ornate designs have become a widely recognized symbol of Irish heritage. Our sterling silver necklace includes a small natural emerald at the center, framed in 14-karat gold.

"Emerald pendant necklace, "Celtic Faith" 2002225"
This necklace is laughable at $109.95, the material of the cross looks as though it would bend quite easily and chain not very sturdy just cheaply made. Way too expensive for this piece. Id like my money refunded. Ill be returning the necklace immediately.


I was SO excited to have plans to travel for 2.5 weeks over my 2012 winter break. Nearly 3 glorious weeks of traipsing across 3 different countries — finally I would be reunited with after a hiatus of a few months.
I recently took a business trip that included Manila and Shanghai. It was in the 80's in Manila and in the 30's in Shanghai. Since I travel with one carryon and a personal item (briefcase), this presented a dilemma. I solved the problem of what to pack by taking a Patagonia down sweater for the 5 block walk to the office in Shanghai goves and 360* earmuffs. The down sweater, actually a lightweight jacket, stuffs into its pocket and compresses to the size of a grapefruit. I carried it on the plane in my briefcase and fluffed it out when landing in China. By doing this, I avoided taking a long, heavy, bulky winter coat. I saved weight and bulk. Go down!!!
Akatuki, what a wild and crazy task of predicting what to pack for two opposite seasons! I kinda-sorta did the same for New Zealand (which was a mistake since I was living there anyway) but it seems like you managed to pull it off!
By the way, those puffy jackets work wonders when it comes to packing. Most people bring fleece jackets on backpacking trips, but puffy coats are half the weight and stuff down to half the size, they're windproof and do fairly well in brief rainstorms, especially if they have a hood. They also do a good job of disappearing into the pack, since they're so frictionless that you can stuff them into the "bubbles" that appear while packing. They do a good job of appearing to take up no room at all. One of my favorite ultralight items.
