When a donated bike ends up in Costa Rica with our partner MiBici it will almost always end up in a relatively rural area where getting around by bike is the most logical and cost-effective transportation option. During my time in Costa Rica I visited several small communities in Talamanca , close to the Panamanian border and well beyond the end of...
Banana Bike!??

What is known as a beach cruiser to most of us has simply been dubbed the banana bike in Costa Rica and is the most sought after type of bike in many parts of the country. These bikes are known as bananas because the frames often look ...
First Place in the 5k Race: Rotary Club of Carroll Creek

Bikes for Education: It Adds Up
In Sierra Leone, especially in rural areas, schools are spread out making the commute for students long and tiresome. For some families this hardship can put graduation out of reach. It is not usual to find a student who walks as much as eight miles one way just to get to school. Most walk at least four. The time needed to walk those mil...

Tuesday, November 20 2018
Food security continues to cripple rural areas of Sierra Leone, often for months at a time. Nearly 3/4 of the land is suitable for agriculture, however, the country still fails to provide enough food for its population. During the rainy season in August many children go to school hungry as their parents struggle to feed their large families. ...
For many young girls in Burkina Faso becoming a woman comes far too early. Change is coming but for many girls it hasn't been soon enough. Several years ago, laws were enacted to make it illegal to force girls to marry before the age of 18. Before then, girls had little say over their futures. Girls younger than 16 were sometimes taken from their ...

Q: get dynamic $_POST data into a for loop for ($i = 0; $i <= ${"ConteggioColonneTabella".$NomeTabella}; $i++) {
    ${'record'.$i} = addslashes($_POST['record'].$i);
}

Look at
addslashes($_POST['record'].$i);

This isn't correct, i know, but I can't figure out what is the correct syntax for getting POST variables.
================= EDIT ==================
This works outside the loop
$i = 1;
${'record'.$i} = addslashes($_POST[record.$i])

getting only one result
this doens't work inside the loop, getting no results
for ($i = 1; $i <= 6; $i++) {

Klar til Europa er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 1951 instrueret af Ole Berggreen og efter manuskript af Albert Mertz.

Handling
Forløbet af arbejdet med fremstillingen og nedlægningen af det dansk-hollandske telefonkabel - et koaksialkabel. Nedlægningen af jordkablet, som er fremstillet i Danmark, følger i det væsentlige hovedvej 1 - over Lillebælt fæstnes det på broen. Fra Lillebæltsbroen fortsættes tværs over Sønderjylland og ud over Rømødæmningen til en kystforstærkerstation på Rømø. Der er indrettet en forstærkerstation for hver 10 kilometer på ruten. Søkablet, der er fremstillet i England, udlægges over Nordsøen dels fra det danske skib C.E. Krarup, dels fra den store engelske kabeldamper Monarch. Etableringen af den nye forbindelse betyder en stor lettelse i telefontrafikken ikke blot mellem Danmark og Holland, men også til det øvrige Europa.

Three people have been jailed for a total of 88 months for drug offences following a Zephyr investigation, which thwarted an £11,000 drugs operation.
Another person has been given an 18 month sentence, suspended for 18 months.
Op Darwin was an investigation by Zephyr, the South West Regional Organised Crime Unit, into a conspiracy by a Bournemouth-based organised crime group, to supply heroin.
In June 2016 Nile Burke from Bristol contacted Rashid Jbilou in Bournemouth, who would arrange the sale of heroin to Burke.
On 24 June Sofian Brozi, who also lived in Bournemouth, attended a property in Purbeck Road in the coastal resort. When he left he had a white plastic bag containing heroin. He got in the back of a car, which had driven from Bristol (carrying Roxanne Gayle and Nile Burke). He got out moments later and the car drove off.
It was stopped shortly afterwards by officers who discovered Gayle and Burke with 111gms of heroin, with a street value of £11,100.
The following month Brozi was arrested and searched his home and the property in Purbeck Road. Cocaine, heroin, MDMA and ketamine were seized. It was established that the Purbeck Road property was being used to store and prepare the drugs for onward sale.
Jbilou, Brozi, Burke and Gayle were all subsequently charged and admitted conspiracy to supply heroin. Brozi also admitted to possession with intent to supply drugs.
Rashid Jbilou, aged 41 years of West Hill Road, Bournemouth, was jailed for 36 months.
Nile Burke, aged 24 years of Pennyroyal Grove, Stapleton, Bristol, was given a 32 month sentence.
Sofian Brozi, aged 30 years of Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth, was jailed for 20 months.
Roxanne Gayle, aged 24 years of Ryeleaze, Shirehampton in Bristol, was jailed for 18 months, suspended for 18 months, and is also required to complete 180 hours of unpaid work during the coming 12 months.

Going to technical conferences is what we all do. What a few do that doesn't belong at conferences is sexual harassment.
Below is the tweet thread of Tim O'Reilly banning Scoble from future events.
Scoble sat on the same floor I was on in a Microsoft building and I didn't like him then, and now I would avoid him with all effort.
I admit that I was a late attendee to 7x24 Exchange. I had been attending Uptime Symposium, Data Center Dynamics, Data Center World, Gartner Conferences, IBM, Open Compute, and some other conferences. And thanks to Lee Kirby who suggested I attend 7x24 Exchange I decided to look a bit at the conference. Then I met David Schirmacher who is the President of 7x24 Exchange. Lee Kirby is the President of Uptime Institute. So based on two smart people telling me to attend 7x24 Exchange I started and now I attend both the Fall and Spring event and I always find it is time well spent.
I checked out the attendee list to see who is going who I know and to check out who is attending who I should look to meet. This is part of being an open Conference that supports the interaction of its attendees.
I am looking forward to see Robbie Bach's keynote. Being ex-Microsoft and Robbie is too. Will be interesting what words of wisdom he has.
See many of you at 7x24. I'll be there.
There is some good advice in it - check out the schedule, plan logistics, know the schedule, etc. Out of the long post here is the closing.
After reading the post I found that there is different way I use.
The perspective I use when attending a conference is a networking exercise. Most of you think of networking like social networking. I am referring to networking like it is an engineering exercise. As an engineer what is the current state of my network and how can I use the conference to improve my network.
#1 is network with the conference staff. They can help you find people and get insight that is hard to get without a face-to-face conversation. I always do this at DCD and 7x24 Exchange.
#2 are any of my friends going to the conference and what are their plans. Friends expand your ability to network at an event.
#3 identify the particular people you are looking for at the conference. Those connections you want to reinforce and the new ones you want to make.
At the end of the conference if you have improved your network then it is a success.
It has been 5 years since Curiosity landed on Mars and NASA is celebrating sharing videos like this one.
I've been staring at my notes and thinking about the keynote for months and it just wasn't coming together. Adam's keynote was one of the highest rated keynotes given and I agree. Part of the reason why the presentation worked is because Adam was not super polished the way some presenters can be. He came across as an engineer who had a passion to solve the tough problem of landing a one ton vehicle on Mars.
After months of trying to write. Yes I kept on trying for months, but it didn't work and the words didn't flow. The story Adam was telling is of being creative in problem solving. How to land Curiosity on the Mars surface. What the team knew is trying to use what had worked in the past was not going to work for a 900kg payload.
Going over my notes here are some pointsAdam made which is why his presentation was so popular.
Adam described leadership as a service. In comparison to a project management approach which doesn't necessarily focus on leadership skills to rally the team to solve a difficult problem.
Adam would wake 2:30a. Run the risks is his head. Then figure out how it impacts the project.
Much of the data came from failure analysis of past efforts which may not of compromised past missions, but could be catastrophic for Curiosity.
To innovate and rise to the challenge in a mission critical environment Adam stressed to "separate the ideas from the people who hold them." Getting his team to accept the intense review of ideas was key to be creative.
Why did it all work?
Adam switched to "Hold on to the doubt!" Constantly accept that they may not be right.
"Planning is everything. The plan means nothing."
"The process of planning is preparation for the future."
"Falling in love with the plan bypasses the truth."
"Why do we do this?" Adam says this while staring at the image of Curiosity on Mars.
Adam's keynote is one of those that sticks with you and I know others will refer to his presentation. These are the type of keynotes that have lasting value and help all of us be better.
Fluke has a Roadshow event and I was on a panel for the Seattle event on May 2. On May 11 in Austin I'll be presenting a breakout session of the use of Machine Learning.

The event was well worth my time. One of my data center buddy who used to work a cellular company, Mickey Mouse, and the biggest bookstore was there too and the Fluke engineers were interested is his perspectives on how facility maintenance could be improved with IIOT type of efforts.
I had fun on the panel and tested some ideas I have been working on. Digital media efforts may be the latest, but I am one of the old school people who believe that presenting in front of a live audience allows you to test your ideas. Then scale that work on digital media.


I started my own firm in 1982. It was an interesting time, when I first started in this field. Financial planning, as a discipline, was really young. Most financial advisors were compensated through sales commissions. Fee-only planning was almost unheard of, and those who knew of it were loath to give up their commissions to "do right" by the client.
I've always done things a little differently. So when I launched Boston Retirement Advisors, I decided to forego commissions-based compensation. I actively disregarded sales quotas demanded by broker dealers, and chose to forgo the vacations and other gimmicks used to reward advisors for promoting their products. I believe those types of compensation arrangements interfere with honest, trusting advisor-client relationships.
I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) practitioner, and a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), the primary professional organization for financial planners who operate on a "fee-only" basis. NAPFA has received the support of the AARP, the Consumer Federation of America, and several state regulators for its efforts on disclosure issues.
My decision to go "fee-only" from the start truly paid off for me. It wasn't about the money, it was about working with a clear conscience, and being able to provide objective, untainted advice. Over the years, the firm grew – mostly by referral, as people sought financial advisors who were compensated using a fee-only model. I added to that a warm, welcoming environment that showed we really care (which we do!). It was a recipe for doing well by doing good. What a blessing. I'm so proud of the decades-long relationships we have cultivated, and the continuous stream of clients we are fortunate to help year-in and year-out.
In 2015, after an extensive four-year search, I identified Beck Bode Wealth Management as a suitable partner for the business continuation strategy for my firm. While I remain fully engaged and active in Boston Retirement Advisors, I wanted to ensure the continuity of the practice for future generations, and to provide clients with enhanced resources, broader expertise and a bigger support team. Jim and Ben are the perfect partners. Again, what a blessing to have found such good, competent, family-oriented partners who sincerely care for our clients. It gives me great comfort and pleasure to know that our firm is in the best of hands.

Marcus Law's side were looking to make it three home wins on the bounce against Steve Burr's Harriers side, with just a point separating the two in the upper echelons of the table.
Peter Till took a place in the starting eleven in an otherwise unchanged starting line-up with Greg Taylor returning to Luton after his loan spell while Matthew Regan, on loan from Nottingham Forest took his first place on a Lambs teamsheet after joining on loan. Lee Hendrie sat out the game on a one match suspension after accruing five yellow cards.
Kidderminster kicked the game off towards the Castle End of the ground and kept possession for the opening few minutes on a crisp pitch.
The Lambs took some control of proceedings and Cunnington almost found a way through on 8 but his run was shielded by the visiting defender.
Kelly and Kerry set up a freekick on the left wing on 9 but it was cleared by Vaughan.
The Lambs defence was well beaten on 10 though when Johnson crossed from the left wing low into the center and Malbon somehow put his effort over the bar from 8 yards.
Harriers were awarded a freekick on the right of the box on 14 and ex-Lamb and visiting captain Storer put the ball into the box but no one could get a clean touch on it and Severn collected at t he feet of his defence.
At the other end a nudge on Kerry won Tamworth a deadball chance 25 yards out which Barrow smashed into the bottom corner of the wall.
Johnson flashed a header over the bar on 21 and Malbon's searching cross from the right was headed away by Courtney and he was on hand again on 24 to deny the cross of Storer causing any problems.
From Storer's resulting corner Kerry nipped in and unleashed Moke down the left but Harriers broke and Malbon missed a good chance when well placed.
Tamworth then countered well and Baldock looked for a goal on 27 but his shot went enough off target not to bother keeper Lewis in front of the travelling fans.
Baldock found Storer in his way after good movement and a low right sided cross from Moke on 34 and Kerry was booked for a foul on the half way line as Harriers tried to threaten from a corner won from Tait's diving defensive header.
Cunnington put a header on target on 37 but it was lifted high and easy for Lewis to collect at height.
With 6 minutes of the first half remaining, the Lambs won a corner when a Kerry freekick was kicked away and Oji was close but not close enough to connecting with the left sided flag kick.
The ball made its way back into the box and Tait spun and shot from the right but Vaughan was positioned on the line and cleared the danger downfield.
Matt was booked for a foul in the centre circle on Baldock on 42 and Tamworth pushed forward with Moke finding space on the right of the box. He found Kelly on the left of the area and he tried to curl a shot into the far right but the curl wasn't strong enough.
Matt then fouled Barrow on the halfway line and escaped a booking which would have seen his side reduced to ten men.
The Lambs kicked off the second half but it was the visitors who had the first chance when Johnson struck left footed in the left of the box but failed to get his shot the right side of the post and Severn was happy to watch it out.
Till nipped the ball into the box from the right on 50 and Kerry got his toe to it at the near post but he too put it the wrong side of the post.
Severn dropped to the floor to smother a deflected shot from the edge of the area on 52 and Kerry won a corner on the left by the clubhouse on 54 and although it came to nothing, The Lambs kept up the pressure and a flowing move in front of the shed allowed Baldock to shoot from distance but he screwed his shot high and wide right.
Severn launched himself to punch a Johnson cross away from danger and past the hour Tait fell under a tackle from the same player, requiring a visit from the physio and a decision that he couldn't continue and Law made a double substitution which handed Regan his debut.
Wright, now captain with Tait off the field, pushed the ball through to Baldock on 69 but neither were able to get a shot away as the ball was cleared by the Kidderminster defence.
Demetriou crossed from the left to the far of the box on 75 and Johnson met it with a good header but his effort hit the outside of the far post.
Johnson then crossed from the left and it was met by Rowe only for him to find Oji in the way and Barrow took the brunt of the block. He was in obvious discomfort and had to be stretchered off to a round of applause from the crowd.
The game continued after a few minutes and the Lambs had to finish proceedings with ten men on the field.
Regan cleared the ball off the line from a follow up shot from Johnson after Severn's punch fell kindly past the far post on 84 and Vaughan followed up another blocked effort to see his shot pushed around the post by Severn on 87 for a corner which was headed behind for a second flag kick. A third one came immediately and Kelly cleared the ball long.
Seven minutes added time was then shown and Oji directed a header from a Kelly freekick on the right past the far post in a crowded box on 96 and Malbon couldn't get his shot past the Lambs defence, winning a corner in the process which Kidderminster worked out of the final third as the referee blew his whistle.


I have to build an XML document from pieces of existing ones, and then output it as a string. What libraries should I use?
If you have pieces of existing valid documents as nodes then you can import those into the document you want to build by appending those nodes as child elements to the document.
To write document object as a string you need to serialize it. You can use the Apache Xerces parser available from Apache. You should use XMLSerializer class to serialise document as String. Here is code sniplet.

Although the upcoming presidential election is dominating the headlines (thanks, Donald), next Tuesday's primary is about so much more than who will be the next resident of the White House. Statewide, we are voting on our representatives in Congress and in the legislature. Here in Cook County, among other things, we are voting in the hotly contested race for state's attorney.
Most of you are going to arrive at the section for judges having no idea who any of these people are. Is one of these judges the lady who went off her meds and walked from Markham to the Daley Center to assault a sheriff's deputy? Is this the judge who was removed from the bench due to allegations of mortgage fraud? Is this the guy who hit me with that big fine on that speeding ticket 2 years ago?
Well, I am here to help! While I don't know every judge in the State of Illinois or even Cook County, I know who does. The Illinois State Bar Association (ISBA), Chicago Bar Association and Cook County Bar Association all have committees that evaluate judges, and they all publish the ratings. Here are links to some of the judge ratings. Print them, take them with you to the polling station, and brag to your friends how informed you are about this election.
Illinois State Bar Association – This is the one for you if you happen to live outside of Cook County. They rate judicial candidates all over Illinois.
Chicago Bar Association – This is the one I use. They even have a pocket guide, so that you can better conceal your voting crib notes.
Cook County Bar Association – In case you don't fully trust the opinions of the other 2 bar associations.
If you live outside Cook County, your local county bar association almost certainly reviews and rates the judges and judicial candidates. Just type "[my county bar association] judicial evaluations," and the evaluations will probably be the top result.
So there you have it! And if you don't vote, don't complain about how much President Trump is spending on the wall to keep Muslims out!

Published: Monday, May 21, 2012, 9:00 IST
By DNA Correspondent | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA
Anti-nuclear demonstrators gathered on Sunday evening at Dadar's Chaityabhoomi along with National Award-winning filmmaker Anand Patwardhan, activist Dr Binayak Sen and his wife Ilina, and members of the Coalition for Nuclear Disarmament and Peace, Konkan Vinashakari Prakalp Virodhi Samiti, and Konkan Bachao Andolan Priyar Dravidar Kazhagam. They were protesting against the controversial nuclear reactor project in Koodankulam, Tamil Nadu.
The activists raised slogans such as "Nuclear power plant nahin chaiye", "Jhutha vikas nahi chalega" and "Manmohan Singh Japan jao, Japan jaa kesushi khao."
They appealed to the citizens of India to protest against the nuclear reactor, and safeguard the lives, dignity, resources and livelihoods of the people of Koodankulam.
Addressing the gathering, Patwardhan said, "People in Idinthakarai village had to end their 14-day fast this week. It is appalling that nobody from the Tamil Nadu or central government came to speak to them, and that the police strength in the area has been identified with every possible intimidating tactic, including taking away the food ration cards of agitating villagers."
Dr Binayak Sen appealed to passersby to pay heed to the testimonies of independent experts and scientists highlighting the dangers of constructing the reactor. "At this critical juncture, we urge that a wider consultation is necessary before continuing the large-scale nuclear expansion that this government is already deeply engaged in," he said.
Bringing the protest to a close, Ilina, Sen's wife, said that the outright repression and silencing of the Koodankulam people's movement wouldhave adverse implications for all future individual and collective struggles.

An Open Letter to Mamata Banerjee from the student she branded a 'Maoist'

New Delhi: On Friday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee called Presidency University student Taniya Bhardwaj a CPI(M) cadre and a Maoist for asking a question about the conduct of senior state ministers and officials over crimes against women.
The question was asked at an open house session with the Chief Minister, conducted by CNN-IBN to mark one year of the Trinamool Congress's coming to power in West Bengal.
An angry Banerjee castigated the audience for asking 'CPI(M) questions' and 'Maoist questions' and stormed out, refusing to participate further. Taniya Bhardwaj writes an open letter to Mamata Banerjee.
Branded a Maoist by WB Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, college student Taniya Bharadwaj writes her an open letter.
Dear 'Simple Man',
On being asked a simple question, you acquired a complicated avatar. We all went to the CNN-IBN question-answer session on Friday, May 18, at the Town Hall expecting to hear some heated exchanges, but it got too hot to handle.
You, the most important person in West Bengal, labelled me and the rest of the audience 'Maoist and CPM cadres'. What exactly did we do to deserve this honour? We asked you questions. I asked you whether affiliates of your party, specifically minister Madan Mitra and MP Arabul Islam, who wield power, should act, or should have acted, more responsibly.
Like many others, I was also greatly disturbed when Madan Mitra pronounced his own judgement on a rape victim before the police were done investigating. This woman, whose character was assassinated, is an Anglo-Indian, a member of the minority community. Thus, if we were to even forget about sensitivity, the question of political correctness still hangs over his conduct.
A few months ago, this very same man had misbehaved with policemen who had stopped his car on the Eastern Metropolitan Bypass as part of its routine. As for the Arabul Islam case, it is still making headlines.
I asked you something that had been on the minds of most people around me, people who voted for 'paribartan' (change). Is this what we expect of our leaders? The ones who set examples and whom people follow. This is all that I wanted to know. What I got to know, instead, is that in West Bengal, asking a question can be the equivalent of being a Maoist.
'Simple man', you claimed with pride on stage that you're not a feminist.
That proclamation did not surprise us, especially after the Katwa and Park Street cases. You also spoke of democracy. The answers you gave to the questions you took before mine were sprinkled with words like 'people', 'democracy', and 'Bengal'.
But one of the most important features of a true democracy, which I have learnt as a student of political science, is freedom of expression. This freedom is the one that allows an individual to express oneself, to not have to mince words out of fear of authority. It involves enjoying a chuckle or two at cartoon about important public figures.
Sadly, there seems to be a gradual failure in this aspect of the democratic machinery in the state. And just like I won't become a Maoist simply because you called me one, the state too won't epitomize democracy unless it is truly so in all spheres. All said and done, what you did was in haste and it made me the centre of attention. And as you stomped off in fury, you automatically assumed the role of the spoilsport.
It would have been so much more 'simple' had you just answered my question, or even said "No comments" and moved on. The question became so important because you chose to make it important.
You have spoken of 'brain drain' so many times. I hold offers from the University College, London and the School of Oriental and African Studies to study development and administration. I too will probably leave, and now you know the reason why. Had you stayed on, it would have been fun. And you would have honestly been 'a Chief Minister with a difference'. The role of your office as Chief Minister is to aggregate interest – you should at the least have heard us all out.
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power". So said Abraham Lincoln.

Virus and migrant worries spur EU to toughen border rules
by: LORNE COOK, Associated Press
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union on Tuesday launched a major revamp of the rules governing the movement of people and goods into and around Europe as coronavirus restrictions and fears over a "hybrid attack" from Belarus using migrants are placing increasing strains on its passport-free travel area.
The Schengen area comprises 26 countries — including non-EU nations Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The removal of border checks between them has been a boon for business, trade and travel.
Almost 1.7 million people live in one Schengen country and work in another, while an estimated 3.5 million people cross an internal border every day.
"The refugee crisis of 2015, the spate of terrorists attacks on European soil and the global COVID-19 pandemic have all put the Schengen area under strain," European Commission Vice-President Margaritis Schinas said.
"This is a balanced, necessary step. It's not the end of the story but it's enough to keep Schengen intact," Schinas told reporters in Strasbourg, France, as he unveiled the proposals, which must be endorsed by EU countries and lawmakers to take effect.
The Schengen travel zone system has been on the verge of collapse since 2015, when well over 1 million people entered the EU without authorization, mostly Syrians seeking refuge from war. A series of extremist attacks in France, Belgium and Germany also saw countries tighten their border controls.
Things got even worse in early 2020 when the pandemic hit. At least 17 countries in the Schengen zone reintroduced checks in the panic, causing traffic and supply chain chaos.
More recently, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko's government began inviting people to Belarus, many of them Iraqis, promising to help them get into Europe through the country's borders with Lithuania, Poland and Latvia. It was seen as revenge by the man once dubbed Europe's last dictator after the EU hit Belarus with sanctions over reported election fraud and a crackdown on peaceful democratic protesters.
To tighten the EU's outside borders in emergencies, the bloc's executive branch, the European Commission, is proposing to temporarily ease asylum norms when an outside country pushes migrants toward Europe or actively encourages them to come, as Belarus is accused of doing.
The number of border crossings where people register for asylum could be reduced. The registration of applications could be delayed for four weeks, instead of 10 days currently. People could be held in temporary shelters at the border for up to 16 weeks while their applications are processed.
Fast-track deportations would be permitted for those not allowed in.
To stop member countries imposing ad-hoc border checks between each other inside the Schengen travel zone, temporary controls could be reintroduced for health or security threats for six months, which could be renewed for up to two years.
Countries would have to provide an impact assessment justifying the renewal. The commission, which proposes EU laws and supervises the way they are applied, would have to approve any extension beyond 18 months.
Six countries in the zone have kept border checks in place for the last six years renewing them every six months to circumvent rules that they should not be permanent. That includes France, which has continually had border controls for security reasons since the deadly 2015 terror attacks in Paris.

On April 18, 2015, El Dorado County Sheriff's Explorer POST 457 hosted its first Regional Training Day. Event participates included the Elk Grove Police Department Explorer POST 625 and Roseville Police Department Explorer POST 108. This event was a HUGE success, with over 125 participants.
Explorers participated in four training event scenarios giving each explorer the opportunity to test their skills in real life situations.
Tubular assaults (mass transit bus assault)
Explorers practiced a safe way to approach a bus with suspect(s) and victim(s) on board. A plan was established by the team to safely enter the bus, contact suspect(s) and remove victim(s), along with understanding the basic operations of a standard bus.
Explorers were instructed on officer rescues during a building entry when an officer is injured or assaulted during contact with suspect(s). Explorers determine the best coverage, thinking under stress and removal of the downed officer to the safest location, while providing cover or contact with suspect(s).
Felony Traffic Stop
Explorers were instructed on proper felony traffic stops, communication with other explorers to convey a successful outcome of removing suspect(s) from the vehicle, covering fellow explorers and properly searching once all suspect/subjects have been removed from the vehicle.
Building Clearing
Explorers responded to a potentially dangerous domestic situation, with armed suspect(s). Explorers were tasked with officer safety, recognition of criminal activity, and situation resolution all while engaging with Special Impact Munitions (SIM) training systems for a realistic environment.
Special thanks to El Dorado County Sheriff John D'Agostini and Undersheriff Randy Peshon, El Dorado County Sheriff Explorer Advisors, El Dorado County Sheriff SWAT Team, El Dorado County Special Enforcement Detail (SED) Team, Department of Corrections SSU Team and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for organizing an outstanding experience for the Explorers that participated in this year's Regional Training Day. Thank you to all advisors from other agencies, volunteers, instructors and sponsors who helped make this regional training day possible. Plans are already underway for the EDSO Explorer Regional Training Day 2016.
Event sponsors – Sierra Gun Exchange, Kitchell construction, El Dorado Hills Brazilian Jujitsu, Foothill 7 TV and Dynamic Designs.
The Explorer Post is able to compete in and travel to these types of events with the help of donations from the public, and a lot of hard work the post puts into community service and fundraising.
Law enforcement explorer post programs are sponsored by their affiliated law enforcement agency and Learning for Life, a subsidiary of the Boy Scouts of America. It is a career education program for young men and women who are 14 (completed the eighth grade) through 20 years old. Exploring's purpose is to provide experience that helps young people mature and prepare to become responsible and caring adults.
Explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities. Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities. Local community organizations initiate a specific Explorer post by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The goal of the Sheriff's Office Explorer program is to help youths pursue and further their special interest in Law Enforcement.
If you are interested in becoming an Explorer or if you would like to support our POST through a donation please contact an Advisor at 530-642-4733 or email explorers@edso.org, www.service-life.com/ca/edso

Famous Quotes:
Many of the 'against-the-clock' fraternity in the United Kingdom sincerely believed that the British time triallists were as good as, if not better than, their Continental counterparts and here was the chance to prove it. When the final result was known the British fans were disappointed and saw the race as a total failure for Britain as both Englishman had finished nearly 20 minutes down. To rub salt in the wounds, the event had been won by an unknown, curly-haired teenager from Normandy.
Biography/Timeline
Anquetil passed his qualifications in light engineering and went to work for 50 old francs a day at a factory in Sotteville. He left after 26 days following a disagreement with his boss over time off for training. The AC Sottevillais, founded in 1898, was run by a cycle-dealer, André Boucher, who had a shop in the Place du Trianon in Sotteville. The club had not just Anquetil but Claude LeBer, who became professional pursuit champion in 1955, Jean Jourden, world amateur champion in 1961, and Francis Bazire, who came second in the world amateur championship in 1963.
Jacques Anquetil (pronounced [ʒak ɑ̃k.til]; 8 January 1934 – 18 November 1987) was a French road racing Cyclist and the first Cyclist to win the Tour de France five times, in 1957 and from 1961 to 1964.
In 1941, his father refused contracts to work on military installations for the German occupiers and his work dried up. Other members of the family worked in strawberry farming and Anquetil's father followed them, moving to the hamlet of Bourguet, near Quincampoix. Anquetil had his first bicycle – an Alcyon – at the age of four and twice a day rode the kilometre and a half to the village and back. There he was taught by a Teacher wearing clogs in a classroom heated by a smoking stove.
He was 17 and he took out his first racing licence on 2 December 1950. He stayed a member the rest of his life and his grave in the churchyard at Quincampoix has a permanent tribute from his clubmates.
Boucher trained his group first from a bicycle and then by Derny. Anquetil made fast progress and won 16 times as an amateur. His first victory was the Prix Maurice Latour at Rouen on 3 May 1951. He also took the Prix de France in 1952 and the Tour de la Manche and the national road championship the same year.
Anquetil rode in the French team in the 100 km time trial at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki and won a bronze medal. Impressed by his protégé's progress, André Boucher sent an envelope of Anquetil's press cuttings to the local representative of the Perle bicycle company and asked him to send them to the firm's cycling team manager, the former Tour de France rider, Francis Pélissier.
Pélissier wanted Anquetil for the 1953 Grand Prix des Nations, a race started by the newspaper Paris-Soir which since 1932 had risen to the status of an unofficial world time-trial championship. It was held on a 142 km loop of rolling roads through Versailles, Rambouillet, Maulette, St-Rémy-les-Chevreuse and then back to Versailles before, originally, finishing on the Buffalo track in Paris.
On 22 September 1954, Anquetil started two years' compulsory Service in the army, joining the Richepanse de Rouen barracks as a gunner of the 406th artillery regiment. The army accorded him few great favours but there was an exception:
Should he break the record, he and the army agreed, he would give half the rewards to the army and the rest to the mother of a soldier, André Dufour, who had been killed while fighting at Palestro, in Algeria. The chances of breaking it were far from guaranteed, not only because Coppi's record had already defied Gerrit Schulte and Louison Bobet but also Anquetil himself, on 23 November 1955, when he had started too fast, faded and finished 696 m short of Coppi. His second attempt also flopped. He again started too fast. After 54:36 his helpers called him to a stop after 41.326 km. His legs failed him when he got off his bike and he had to be carried to a chair in a corner of the Velodromo Vigorelli, the velodrome in Milan, Italy. The Italian crowd chanted: "Coppi! Coppi! Coppi!"
At 7:30pm on 29 June 1956, riding a lighter bike made in three days to the same design as Coppi's, and using a 7m40 gear (52x15), Anquetil tried again and finally broke his hero's record, riding 46.159 km. Coppi was the first professional to give Anquetil his autograph. When the two next met, Anquetil was also a professional. He went to Italy to meet Coppi and, for reasons never explained, dressed as a simple country boy rather than in the smart clothes that he normally wore.
In 1957 Anquetil rode – and won – his first Tour de France. His inclusion in the national team – the Tour was still ridden by national rather than commercial teams – was what the French broadcaster Jean-Paul Ollivier called "a forceps operation".
Anquetil married Janine Boeda on 22 December 1958. She had been married to Anquetil's Doctor. The Doctor, seeing a rival, sent his wife to live with friends. Anquetil went to see her, disguised as a plumber, and took her off to Paris to buy clothes in the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.
The French film Amélie may contain an indirect reference to Anquetil. A long-lost box of souvenirs found by Amélie reminds an aging estranged father of the time he cheered Federico Bahamontes' win of the 1959 Tour de France (Anquetil, a long-time rival of Bahamontes, placed third in the same race). Amélie is later romantically pursued by Nino Quincampoix, who shares a very rare surname with that of the village where Anquetil is buried.
In 1960 Anquetil stayed away from the Tour, returning in 1961 and winning the Tour de France thereafter until 1964. He won in 1962 at a speed not bettered until 1981. He was the first rider to win four successive times, breaking the record of three set by Philippe Thys and Louison Bobet. He was also the first to win five times in total, a feat since emulated by Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain.
Anquetil was fascinated by Britain because of the country's enthusiasm for time-trialling and because in 1961 he presented prizes at the Road Time Trials Council evening at the Royal Albert Hall to honour Beryl Burton and Brian Kirby. The pair had won the women's and men's British Best All-Rounder competitions (BBAR) for, respectively, the highest average speed in a season over 25, 50 and 100 miles (women) and 50 and 100 miles (160 km) and 12 hours (men).
Anquetil's most humiliating race was the Trofeo Baracchi in Italy in 1962, when he had to be pushed by his partner, Rudi Altig, and was so exhausted that he hit a pillar before reaching the track on which the race finished.
In 1963 Tour de France, at the top of a mountain, Anquetil faked a mechanical Problem, so that his team Director could give him a bicycle that was more suitable for the descent. The plan worked, and Anquetil overtook Bahamontes in the descent and won the stage, taking over the lead in the general classification.
Anquetil took part, with Tom Simpson, in an afternoon of exhibition racing at the Herne Hill track in South London, on 13 June 1964 – three weeks before starting in the 1964 Tour de France.
Anquetil was upset, said Raphaël Géminiani in his autobiography, that his rival, Raymond Poulidor was always more warmly regarded even though he had never won the Tour de France. In 1965, when Poulidor was perceived to have received more credit for dropping Anquetil the previous year on the Puy-de-Dôme than Anquetil had received for winning the whole Tour, Géminiani persuaded him to ride the Dauphiné Libéré and, next day, the 557 km Bordeaux–Paris. That, he said, would end any argument over who was the greater athlete.
Anquetil was named France's champion of champions by L'Équipe in 1963. He was also appointed Chevalier de l'Ordre national du Mérite in 1965 (cross of merit) and Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur on 5 October 1966.
Anquetil argued that professional riders were workers and had the same right to treat their pains, as say, a geography Teacher. But the argument found less support as more riders were reported to have died or suffered health problems through drug-related incidents, including the death of Tom Simpson, in the 1967 Tour de France.
He rode his bike only three times in retirement, saying he had already ridden enough. He rode the Grand Prix des Gentlemen in Nice, a race in which old riders were paired with current competitors; he went out for an afternoon with friends in Normandy; and he joined his daughter for a bike ride on her birthday. Other than that, he did not ride his bike after 1969.
Their marriage produced no children. Janine had two children, Alain and Annie, from her previous marriage. Janine had two failed pregnancies and Anquetil grew upset in 1970 that he wasn't a father. The couple considered a surrogate mother before Janine thought of her daughter, Annie. Janine said: "We didn't use the parental authority that we could have had over her. It was a request that I addressed to her. Gently. Annie always had the choice of refusing." Annie confirmed her mother's recollection. She said:
The Jacques Anquetil Sports stadium at Quincampoix was dedicated in 1983. There are moves to open a museum in his memory.
On 18 November 1987, Jacques Anquetil died of stomach cancer in his sleep at 6 am at the St-Hilaire Clinic in Rouen. He had been there since 10 October. A statement from the clinic said: "His state of health had visibly deteriorated over the last hours and he died in his sleep after showing great courage throughout his illness." Anquetil is buried beside the church in the village of Quincampoix, north of Rouen, where a large black monument by the traffic Lights lists all his achievements. There is a further monument at the Piste Municipale track in Paris, where the centre is named after him.
Annie said she should have left the house after her daughter, Sophie, was born (in 2004, Sophie Anquetil published the book Pour l'amour de Jacques in which she confirmed what had been rumoured but what Anquetil had always tried to hide: that she was Anquetil's daughter). Instead, she grew jealous of her own mother and demanded that she leave instead. When Janine refused, Annie left instead. To fill the gap in the house, Janine invited her son, Alain, and his wife, Dominique, to return to live there. Anquetil began an affair with Dominique, to make Annie jealous. Dominique had Anquetil's child but Annie still refused to return. Dominique still lives in the house, Les Elfes, where she organises conferences. Janine and Anquetil divorced. Sophie moved in with Janine, although she lives now in Calenzana, near Calvi. Both Janine and Dominique wrote their life story: neither mentioned the link between Sophie and Anquetil.
The Tour visited Rouen on the 10th anniversary of Anquetil's death. There to remember his first victory in the race were his teammates, Gilbert Bauvin, Louis Bergard, Albert Bouvet, André Darrigade, Jean Forestier, André Mahé, René Privat and Jean Stablinski. There, too, was the team car from Anquetil's first Tour, driven by the man behind the wheel that year, william Odin.
Anquetil was a correspondent for L'Équipe, consultant for Europe 1 and then on Antenne 2, a race Director for Paris–Nice and the Tour Méditerranéen and in Canada, directeur sportif of French teams at world championships, and a member of the managing committee of the Fédération Française de Cyclisme. His radio analyses were considered especially sharp and he gained a notoriety in Belgium for telling Luis Ocaña, the Spanish rider living in France, how to beat the Belgian star Eddy Merckx during the Tour de France.
Anquetil caught Joy — the moment he realised he was going to win the race — even though Joy had started 16 minutes earlier. At 19, Anquetil had become unofficial time-trial champion of the world.

Those in the Destination Marketing field have long believed there was a direct correlation between the sales and marketing done by DMOs and the successes claimed by those in the Economic Development field. In this break-through study, that linkage is proven through a combination of case studies, interviews, literature review and statistical analysis. The finding is clear: destination promotion fuels development across the entire economic spectrum by sustaining air service, creating familiarity, attracting decision makers and improving the quality of life in a place. As a result, cities and states that prioritize destination marketing and coordinate these efforts with economic development initiatives have experienced significant site relocations and new investments as a direct result. A must-read for anyone trying to make the case that Destination Marketing is more than just "heads in beds." Click HERE to link to the study.

Meetings drive sales and profitability for business and enable organizations to deliver on key strategic objectives. They serve as a catalyst for education and professional development, motivation, behavior change and concrete action. And for the hundreds of local economies that rely on the meetings economy, conferences create jobs and tax revenues wherever participants gather. Meeting professionals have known this for years. Now they can prove it.
This recorded Webinar with Roger Rickard combines the findings of several reports that confirm that "Meetings Deliver."
Zeitgeist Consulting's Bill Geist published this treatise in the November 2009 edition of DMAI's monthly newsletter. After years of Room Night accountability, Geist suggests that DMOs need to redefine success.
The 2008 study by Ball State University researchers found that, for every dollar of DMO promotion, state and local tax revenues increased $15. Click HERE to download the PDF.

There was little suspense when Memphis released its first depth chart of the football season Monday.
With 16 returning starters and Brady White winning the quarterback battle last week, few spots were up for grabs heading into the Tigers' opener against Mercer at 6 p.m. Saturday. But a couple of names stood out.
Sophomore Tyrez Lindsey was named the starter at strong safety ahead of fellow sophomore Josh Perry. Perry started the Tigers' final six games last year, while Lindsey started four games, including the wins against Navy and Houston.
"Last year, (Tyrez) was coming off a shoulder injury that at times assisted him in playing a little bit more cautious than what I think he wanted to," Tigers coach Mike Norvell said. "From spring football on, he's been playing at a high level."
Norvell said that when Perry missed a few days of preseason camp because of injury, Lindsey was able to maximize his opportunity and regain his starting job.
Both Norvell and defensive coordinator Chris Ball raved about the depth at defense, and it showed on the chart. Senior Curtis Akins and sophomore Tim Hart were listed at the strong-side linebacker position while sophomore JJ Russell and junior Keith Brown shared the No. 1 spot at weak-side linebacker.
Akins started nine games last season while Hart started 10. Both started the last five games together.
"I view us having four starting inside linebackers with Curtis, Tim, JJ and Keith," Norvell said. "That defensive front, we're going to be able to roll a good number of guys to keep guys fresh, and that's something you're hopeful for as a coach."
The defensive line returns starters Emmanuel Cooper, Jonathan Wilson and O'Bryan Goodson as well as sixth-year senior Jackson Dillon. Goodson is listed as a co-starter at nose tackle with fellow sophomore John Tate.
Dylan Parham is one of three freshman listed among the starters, and he will line up at left guard, a position he's held down since the spring. The two other freshmen starters are on special teams with punter Adam Williams and long snapper Trey Neal.
Parham initially came to Memphis as a tight end before being converted to an offensive lineman during the spring.
"(Dylan) might be one of the players I'm most excited to see run out of that tunnel and play in his first game," Norvell said. "What he's been able to do in spring ball and this fall camp is exceptional."
Freshman Kenny Gainwell is listed in the No. 2 slot at tailback behind Tony Pollard.
On offense, sophomore Damonte Coxie and junior Pop Williams were listed as starters among wide receivers. Freshman quarterbacks Brady McBride and Connor Adair were listed as the backups to White.
The biggest surprise was senior wide receiver Sam Craft listed as a starter. Craft has not played in a game since Oct. 14, 2016, when he suffered a back injury followed by a season-ending ACL injury last preseason.
Like Dillon, he returned healthy this year and was granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA.
"We knew this was going to be a process and make sure we managed him through it. Even in fall camp, we've had to hold him and bring him along at his pace," Norvell said. "I told him our goal was to have him ready by Sept. 1, and we're going to continue to try to get that down."
