demonstrate proof-of-concept within local pilot studies that could be integrated into longer-term projects with substantially larger spatial, temporal, and stock-specific coverage.
The acoustic array concept had been distributed via email prior to the meeting. Prior to the start of detailed discussions in the start of the shelf working group meeting, participants were initially canvassed to see if alternative tracking technologies that either complemented or competed with the acoustic array could be identified. Alternative tracking technologies with the necessary spatial resolution for shelf-based work that either complemented or competed with the acoustic array were not identified. Discussion within the group therefore assumed that the array could be built and all projects discussed were predicated on the assumption that some form of array technology would be available for use.
(Subsequent to the Vancouver meeting, this array was dubbed POTENT– the Pacific Ocean Tracking and Evaluation NeTwork. This name was chosen in order to free up the acronym POST (Pacific Ocean Salmon Tracking) for the overall CoML project , since the concept of two postal codes for the salmon applies equally to both the offshore and shelf studies).
Although discussion centered around the use of an acoustic array, significant time was also spent on the discussion of archival tags as a source of important information. The use of archival tags is more fully described in the offshore WG report; however, it was generally viewed by the Shelf working group that archival tags would provide important long-term information on the behavioural patterns of salmon similar to what would be obtained in the offshore, with the exception that geoposition data would be too coarse to reliably establish the location of the salmon on the shelf. However, in this case the information obtained from an acoustic array would provide this information.
The Shelf WG also thought that important additional information would be obtained from double-tagging salmon in the offshore with both an archival tag and an acoustic tag. In this case the movements of the salmon onto the shelf could be tracked from the acoustic array, and the river that an archivally tagged salmon entered could be determined by placing acoustic array elements in the mouths of key rivers. Using this approach, the migration track of salmon from specific rivers could be tracked back to their river of origin. Because archival tags are passive devices and send out no signal of their own, recovery of such salmon is normally dependent on recapture in commercial fisheries. However, harvest rates for salmon range from 50-70%, implying that one-third to half of the returning salmon bearing archival tags will not be intercepted and would be lost up the rivers. If elements of the array were placed within key river systems this would substantially increase the probability of recovering archival tags within the river system, as well as providing important information on the in-river behaviour of the migrating salmon. It was the consensus of the group that important synergies between the acoustic array and archival tag technologies are therefore possible, and need to be more fully developed during the planning phase.
Habitat use and survival of salmon in the ocean: what information gaps can be filled by a continental shelf tagging research program?
The shelf working group agreed that a continental shelf array would provide data on the direction, speed, and timing of individual salmon movements for acoustically tagged individuals. In some cases, these arrays may also provide information on the spatial and temporal distribution of mortality and mortality rates.
When compared to what is known about the freshwater life history phases of Pacific salmon, very little is known about their marine life history. The COSWG identified several general questions which need to be answered, and which could be addressed with tagging/array methods. The length of the list made it clear just how many gaps exist in our knowledge of salmon biology. If the ultimate goal is wise use of Pacific salmon resources, there is a need to fill in these information gaps and develop a better understanding of the ocean biology of Pacific salmon. Each of the questions listed below could be addressed if the acoustic array POTENT could be built.
Do different salmon stocks form stock-specific aggregations in the ocean, have stock-specific migration pathways, or use stock-specific foraging areas at sea, much as they do in freshwater? There is growing suspicion that the migration pathways of salmon at sea are sharply defined. Salmon may move back and forth between their freshwater spawning grounds and marine feeding areas, using specific pathways and migration behaviours, much as many "northern" birds move from well-defined summering grounds to tropical or sub-tropical overwintering grounds. Marine animals may be equally faithful to specific areas, but the lack of appropriate technology may have hampered our ability to recognise this. The "two postal codes" concept discussed more fully in the Planing Proposal, is an expression of this possibility.
If so, what are the boundaries of these areas, what are the conditions defining the boundaries (spatial, temporal), and what are the residence times of fish in these areas?
Do salmon distribution and movement/migration patterns change with longer-term changes in ocean productivity or ecology (e.g. El Niño vs. La Niña conditions)?
How well does the timing and direction of out-migrating smolts match the timing and location of spring blooms in shelf waters? How often and under what ocean conditions do matches vs. mismatches of smolts and blooms occur?
What are the winter movements and habitat use of salmon?
Are there differences in the movement patterns of wild vs. hatchery fish?
Is there any evidence for competition or density-dependent mortality in wild vs. hatchery stocks in the ocean?
Are specific post-smolt migration behaviors associated with changes in year class success? If so, could post-smolt behavior and ocean conditions forecast year-class strength?
Is there stock-specific, life-stage specific, or location-specific mortality in the ocean?
Would it be possible to follow individual salmons' movements over a complete life history cycle (e.g., by creating jacks from large smolts)?
Answering these general questions would help freshwater managers to determine what type of actions could enhance ocean survival (e.g. timing and location of smolt releases to coincide with favorable ocean conditions, whether reduction in hatchery output would enhance ocean survival of wild fish, and whether or not such actions should be applied on a stock-specific basis.). These answers would also help governments develop policies that would enhance survival in marine habitat (e.g. better forecasting of adult returns or changing timing and location of open fisheries as appropriate to ocean conditions for a specific brood year).
"Smolt Highway Hypotheses" – Is there a well-defined migration corridor along the west coast of North America? If so, what is the spatial extent of this "highway"? How quickly are individuals moving along this route? Where and when does mortality occur?
"Plume-Transport Hypotheses" – Are smolts from the Columbia River system actively using the Columbia plume for transport or feeding purposes? Are smolts being advected within the plume (either cross shore or alongshore) or are their swimming directions and rates independent of plume direction and strength? Do different Columbia stocks use the plume differently?
The analysis of movement patterns would pinpoint the location of salmon habitat for process-oriented studies, including truly longitudinal studies of salmon growth and mortality with "aquaria trawls" to recapture and resample tagged fish.
Although specific pilot projects still need to be fleshed out and prioritized, COSWG members identified several species of concern. These species were included because they are all species of significant concern and all have smolts large enough (> 14 cm) to accept the current generation of acoustic tags.
Pilot projects under discussion included the following, all of which would form building blocks for a larger continental shelf array if built.
There was also discussion of projects involving Yukon River and Alaska stocks, but specific initial studies that would strengthen the CoML were not identified.It was agreed that the existence of a tracking array would assist in resolving a number of important management questions. In general, most managers wanted to know – where does my stock go, how long does it stay there, and does that affect growth and mortality?
It was the consensus of the participants that pilot projects should strive to provide both proof-of-concept and preliminary results to initiate multi-national, process-oriented, fishery-independent research. The eventual expansion of pilot studies into a full acoustic array would allow monitoring salmon movements and habitat use along coastal North America from California to the Aleutian Islands year-round. POTENT would also be able to integrate with research projects carried out by the Offshore Working Group (to integrate continental shelf and open-ocean movements of salmon and aid in the recovery of archival tags) and with an eventual Tagging of Pacific Pelagics (TOPP) program. (TOPP deals with non-salmonid marine organisms.).

There are countless small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) out there looking at virtualization and feeling overwhelmed by the possibilities and challenges of deploying such solutions.
Is virtualization within reach for SMBs? Is it cost-effective? Are there SMB-specific tools, strategies and methods? All of these questions can hinder an SMB's adoption of virtualization technologies. And one question in particular can halt an SMB's pursuit of a worthwhile investment: Do we even need virtualization?
For starters, SMBs should at least consider virtualization: not only does it provide a flexible infrastructure that will position companies for growth in a predictable way, it also reduces risk and cost while providing higher value and a greater return on investment.
Slowdowns are amplified in the virtual environment – Storage disruptions and slowdowns are far more crippling in the virtual world. Any bottlenecks or single points of failure in a centralized SAN ripple across the entire set of interconnected servers and potentially hundreds of virtual servers and thousands of desktops.
Shared storage is a requirement of virtualization – Before virtual servers and desktops can freely move between different hardware platforms, they must have common access to shared storage. They rely on shared storage to transfer the running state of workloads between physical servers. This is generally accomplished by replacing direct-attached disks with storage area networks (SANs) that interconnect to multiple servers.
The best laid plans sometimes cost more than expected – Be prepared for unforeseen project costs. When organizations launch server or desktop virtualization projects, they are often surprised to find that there is a significant upfront investment required in project management costs and in building the required shared storage infrastructure. Often, these additional costs stem from the higher availability and performance requirements of centralized operations, particularly when they entail replacing existing, direct-attach disks with new, high-end storage devices and separately-priced SAN features.
Despite these potential drawbacks, the benefits of virtualization to the SMB are great. Well-informed organizations will have successful deployments that improve processes and save resources. Below are six tenets for choosing virtualization solutions with the greatest benefits to the SMB.
Choose a solution specifically designed for SMBs: Avoid having to set up modular virtualization solutions, since this will require the integration of many new technologies into the IT infrastructure. Those technologies are often designed for large datacenters and are simply overkill for a smaller organization's needs.
Cost of acquisition should not be the sole – or even the first — consideration: Building a virtualization solution by assembling low-end equipment only creates a complex infrastructure that is still too expensive and not scalable.
Pick a solution that won't overtax your staff: The ideal solution for SMBs is quick to set up, easy to maintain, minimizes the number of heterogeneous, multi-vendor software and hardware required and does not necessitate a parallel environment to manage it.
Whenever possible, remove shared storage-related dependencies: Repurposing existing hardware can save SMBs a large portion of their virtualization budgets. Storage virtualization software that lets you construct virtual SANs using internal disks in each physical server is an efficient and cost-effective solution.
Insist on high availability: SMBs need to address the risk of data loss by looking at solutions that provide continuous real-time replication to ensure data is available at all times, regardless of the type of failure.
Virtualization is for everyone, but not every virtualization solution benefits every business. SMBs eager to capture the benefits of virtualization should pursue that goal, but with as much information as possible. Virtualization solutions designed for the SMB exist; it's just a matter of finding the right vendor who understands the business needs of the SMB and offers a solution right for that type of environment. SMBs that know what they want and what they need are much better aligned for successful virtualization deployments.

Strategic Analysis and Communications Success Stories | ERT, Inc.
ERT develops messaging strategies specifically for NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) publications, performing message synthesis, then writing or assisting with the production of editorial content. The goal is to continually produce publications that are timely, topical, interesting to a variety of age groups, and illustrated with compelling images. In addition to creating and implementing messaging strategies, ERT staff monitor audience response specifically via Web platforms where Web site traffic can be monitored through analytics and surveys can be issued. Specific material promoted via social media is monitored, allowing for an understanding of how various publics are finding, receiving and using the editorial information created.
As part of a remedial investigation/feasibility study and geophysical investigation in Washington, D.C. for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), ERT helped develop and then implemented an educational program to the public about the site's potential hazards and the Corps remediation efforts. Tactics used in the outreach program included door to door canvassing, weekly newsletter generation and distribution, and monthly public Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) meetings. RAB meetings included stakeholders from the Environmental Protection Agency, the District of Columbia Department of Health, American University, USACE Baltimore, MD, USACE Huntsville, AL, and project team technical staff that included ERT geologists and geophysicists. As part of the larger awareness campaign, ERT developed and distributed three-step safety magnets containing critical information that targeted different audiences including pedestrians, drivers, Spanish speakers, and children. The magnets, easily attached to home refrigerators, contained a 24x7 hotline so that residents could contact project personnel in the event of an after-hours emergency. Part of ERT's responsibility included the creation and manning of that safety hotline.
ERT staff manage the Congressional contact plan for NOAA's National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The plan has identified key members of Congress as well as their staffers and cross-tabbed them with relevant legislation. Their opinions and votes are monitored and ERT staff then create and coordinate materials – including economic impact reports – and briefings in attempt to enhance and/or modify actions taken on legislation. An easy-to-access database is kept current to analyze interests, concerns, positions, and statements focused on policy development. Longer-term initiatives include relationship building with political influencers on both the state and federal levels on behalf of NMFS.
ERT supports NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS), one of the agency's five line offices, with live broadcasts to classrooms, museums and viewers worldwide. Live productions often involve ocean divers and researchers who interact with students in classrooms, such as the 2010 Oceans LIVE program to educate youngsters about living under water at the Aquarius Undersea Lab off the coast of Florida. Programs were delivered in both English and Spanish to accommodate the needs of specific schools involved. ERT also supports NOS' BLUE Ocean Film Festival, a global film festival and conservation summit for underwater filmmakers and marine researchers that serves as an outreach event to promote the protection of the oceans, and special projects related to the Water Quality Team, the Coral Reef Restoration Team, and Fish Tagging Annual Survey.
ERT staff employ Web 2.0 techniques to attract more attention to NESDIS websites and prominently place scientific data in search engine results. Additionally, ERT staff write Web articles for industry partners and advocacy groups. Our staff has vast experience writing articles and notices for websites of industry partners and advocacy groups.
ERT worked with NOAA's National Ocean Service (NOS) to develop an initial branding strategy, including a standards guide, for NOS communications products. Since NOS has both a Best Practices Team at the headquarters level and a Graphic Standards Working Group, design elements were presented first to headquarters for initial buy-in, then to the Working Group for final acceptance. As products were developed, any modifications made to the graphics style were done so under the guidance of the Working Group. Templates for certain products were developed for easier adherence to the standards for the many NOS communicators located across the country. The result is a consistent brand for NOS across all internal and external reports, rack cards, brochures, newsletters, program-specific materials, and Sanctuary Watch, the national newsletter for NOS' National Marine Sanctuaries office.

When most people around the world familiar with Tucson hear the city's name, beautiful desert vistas and intense sunsets come to most of their minds. This is true for many of the area's motorcyclists, too. Tucson provides some of the best open road riding of the country while also being the second largest city in Arizona, providing both rural and urban rides for anyone with a motorcycle.
With its close proximity to Phoenix and other valley cities of southern Arizona, Tucson is convenient to Arizona Bike Week and other events that draw motorcyclists from all over the state and throughout the U.S. There are also many sponsored events, motorcycle swap meets, club rides, bike nights, charity rides and other draws for riders who love to ride and want to grow their social circle, at the same time.
The population of Tucson is, like other cities in Arizona, booming. In 2014, the city was home to 527,972 residents. The community is home to over 25 collegiate, technical, art and post-graduate schools for adults. With so many students coming to Tucson for their education, there are also more motorcyclists in the area each year. Student riders tend to like café style racers and sports bikes. Older adults usually enjoy owning cruisers, touring models, choppers and others.
With over 196,000 motorcycles registered in the Grand Canyon State, there are always motorcycles on the roads around Tucson and Pima County. As the state population grows, there will only continue to be more of these newcomers who prefer motorcycles to four-wheeled transportation. In fact, more than 40,000 new motorcycle registrants were added to Arizona's growing list of riders since 2011.
When riding around Tucson, safety should always be your top concern. Most riders believe they are safest when riding close to home. Unfortunately, statistics have proven this is not the case. Most fatal motorcycle accidents happen within close proximity of the rider's home. It is usually on a short ride to the grocery store, work, school or for errands that riders are killed, not on long trips in unfamiliar regions.
This is why every ride should be centered on the priority of safety. Be cautious and drive defensively around other vehicles, as many drivers neglect to see motorcyclists before impact. Wearing protective gear can save your life, such as a helmet approved for safety by the Department of Transportation. After all, no one is told which ride will be their last. As an accident is happening, you cannot stop time and put on your protective gear to prevent injury. Instead, this is a decision you must make before each and every ride.
Each week in Tucson brings more news reports of motorcycle crashes that have occurred in Pima County and Tucson, itself. Arizona is one of the ten states in America where the most motorcycle accident fatalities occur. Among all traffic accidents in Arizona, about 17 percent of fatalities are motorcyclists, whereas only about six percent of the accidents involve motorcycles. With each passing year, more and more fatalities occur. In 2015, there were four deadly motorcycle crashes in Pima County. Three of these were in Tucson.
On Sunday, November 13, 2016, a motorcyclist hit a construction barrier on West Ajo Way and South Kostka Avenue in Tucson and was killed.
On Saturday, November 5, 2016, a motorcycle and automobile accident seriously injured the motorcyclist at West Orange Grove and North Oracle Road in Tucson.
A 26 year old man was killed in motorcycle crash on Pusch View Lane in Tucson on October 23, 2016, a Sunday.
Saturday, October 1, 2016, a 25 year old man was killed in motorcycle collision with another vehicle at East Pima Street and North Sahuara Avenue in Tucson.
In August 2016 on a Friday, a motorcyclist was seriously injured in collision with vehicle on North Euclid Avenue in Tucson.
On Sunday, August 14, 2016 a motorcyclist was injured in collision on Grant Road in Tucson.
Motorcycle accidents are expensive for everyone in Pima County. The economic impact of wrecks each year is enormous. In 2015, the total economic cost of traffic accidents was $166,118,526 for Pima County wrecks, alone. Fatalities added up to $140,343,840 and property damage cost $68,937,006 for a total of $375,399,372 in Pima County resident tax and government program expense.
If you are aged 18 or older in Arizona, you can choose whether you wear a motorcycle helmet or not. The same is true of any passengers aged 18 or older. Arizona law only requires riders under the age of 18 and any passengers of that same age group to wear a helmet.
492 riders survived Arizona motorcycle crashes injury-free. But of these, only 85 rode without protection of a helmet.
584 riders suffered serious and life-changing injuries. Of these, 300 rode without a helmet.
130 riders were killed, 76 of whom were not wearing helmets.
Tucson is like anywhere else, when it comes to speeding being a leading cause of motorcycle crashes. This speeding may be a behavior of the motorcyclist or another vehicle. But speed is deadly for riders and their passengers, even deadly for other vehicle occupants and others on the road. Of 137 fatal motorcycle accidents in Arizona in 2015, 104 of the deaths were to blame on the motorcyclist and 33 were the fault of another driver. Forty four of the fatalities were blamed on speeding.
Even if you do not know whether you will file a personal injury and motorcycle accident claim after your wreck, there is some information you should gather at the scene. Having these details will protect you if you are at fault and will also help you build a personal injury and accident case, if you decide to sue the at-fault party for your damages.
Having a reputable and experienced motorcycle accident lawyer on your side for filing of an insurance claim will protect your interests in many ways. First, the lawyer's reputation among insurance adjusters will automatically make those adjusters aware that you will not be one to whom they can offer a low settlement. Second, your Tucson motorcycle accident lawyer will ensure you gain the highest possible compensation for your personal injuries, property damage, lost income, pain and suffering and other damages of the collision. Third, he or she will handle all procedures and communications with the plaintiff's side for you, making your life much less stressful. Finally, if an agreeable settlement cannot be reached, your Tucson motorcycle crash attorney will take your case to court and work hard to gain the best possible judgment on your behalf.
When you have been in a Tucson motorcycle accident or a bike crash anywhere in Arizona, you need an experienced Tucson motorcycle accident attorney. For the reputable help you need to gain the right settlement in your case, call the motorcycle accident lawyers of Cantor Injury Lawyers at 602.254.2701 for a free, no-obligation consultation.

José Luis Ruiz Casado (Barcelona, 1958- Sant Adrià de Besós, 2000) va ser un polític del Partit Popular que va morir en mans de l'organització terrorista ETA.

Biografia
José Luis Ruiz Casado va ser assassinat per ETA a Sant Adrià de Besós el 21 de setembre de l'any 2000. Treballava en l'empresa privada i al mateix temps era regidor del Partit Popular a Sant Adrià de Besós des de 1995.

Atemptat
Al març de l'any 2000, els etarres José Ignacio Krutxaga Elezkano i Fernando García Jodrá s'instal·len a Barcelona per a formar el comando Gaztelugatxe que actuaria a la zona. Al juliol s'hi afegiria Lierni Armendáriz González.

El comando va identificar al regidor del Partit Popular a l'Ajuntament de Sant Adrià de Besòs per mitjà de la premsa i posteriorment van localitzar el seu habitatge mitjançant la guia telefònica. Després d'un temps de vigilància van decidir matar-lo a la sortida del seu domicili. L'atemptat va tenir lloc el 21 de setembre de 2000, cap a les 07.40h en el moment que el regidor sortia de casa seva per anar a l'Ajuntament. Seria Fernando García Jodrá, que l'esperava al costat de José Ignacio Krutxaga, qui li dispararia dos trets que van causar la seva mort immediata.

José Ignacio Krutxaga Elezkano, Lierni Armendáriz González de Langarika i Fernando García Jodrá van ser condemnats a 34 anys i mig de presó. No hi ha constància de cap reivindicació concreta d'ETA relacionada amb aquest atemptat.

L'Ajuntament de Sant Adrià de Besòs va posar el nom de Ruiz Casado al camp de futbol municipal i a un torneig d'aquest esport que el regidor havia practicat des de la infantesa.

Teresa Talks – 2017 OKC 48-Hour Film Festival
Teresa Swallow
Community / News / Set Life / Teresa Talks
Is there an award for most cinematic experience for a 48 Hour Film Festival?
It started off with the sound of gunshots and ended with an almost disqualification. Now if that doesn't sound like the beginning of a synopsis to some crazy adventure, then I don't know what to tell you. Like many teams, we had many fun times as well as scary, dramatic times. For many on our team, it was their very first 48 Hour Film Festival experience. And for the first time, our cast was easily double our crew, which presents a situation in which the numbers game could be a strength or a weakness. Regardless, it was a truly Swampy set. We ran a total shooting time of 13 hours and 31 minutes, and after several computer crashes, we turned in our completed project with 15 seconds to spare.
First-timers led the way for this set.
All three of our leads (Christophe Murdock, Sara Moore, and Kelsey Hood) were excited for their first time being on a 48 Hour set, and it was even Kelsey Hood's first time acting on film and Christophe Murdocks's first time with a speaking role. You may remember that Christophe Murdock is the star in "Son of the Saw" — and though he displayed an impressive collection of grunts, moans, and screams, this 48 Hour film would technically be his first speaking role. Other than these three Swampy stars, the majority of the cast were also on their very first 48 Hour experience as actors: Brittony Tiger, Thomas Royall, James Moore, Michelle Pham, Tiffany Swallow, Tina Tran, Mike Ransburg, Conor Jenkins, and Nathan Huddleston. Additionally, new crew members to the Swamp as well as to the 48 Hour Film Festival were Stephanie James, Alda Johnston, Tiffany Swallow, Michelle Pham, Tina Tran, Kyle Jacob Henry (Behind-the-Scenes Photography), and Jennifer Flores (Hair & Makeup Artist). (AND! It was my first time crossing the line in a 48 Hour set, as this was my first time was a producer, writer, and editor!) Even though so many of our cast and crew were first-timers, the veterans of the Swamp and 48 Hour Film Festival (Cast: DaVena Sulevan, Charles Walker; Crew: Mike Ransburg, Teresa Swallow, Conor Jenkins, and Nathan Huddleston) were ready to rock and roll with this enthusiastic cast and crew.
And rock 'n' roll we did.
The writing room was pretty exciting. The writers and producers collectively decided that since we were so actor-heavy on this set that we would allow for some parts of the script to be improved. Unscripted ad lib is unusual for our sets (ESPECIALLY in a 48 Hour Film Festival), but we had a lot of faith in our actors to rise up to the challenge as well as have fun.
The improved sections of acting kept the high energy on set, but the morale would be nothing without our fantastic caterer AJ (Alda Johnston). It only took one meeting with AJ to assess her plan with our budget for meals, and we knew that she would be perfect for the job. After picking up groceries, she cooked home-made meals, which were all completely wrapped and individually packaged as well as completely ergonomic, nutritional, and strategically planned. When it comes to the constant work flow of set, having nutritional meals is vital for the safety of the set. The taste of home-made goodness only boosted our moods to keep shooting positively and safely. We were really impressed that she was quick to honor our requests to accommodate to allergies, dietary restrictions, and any specific lifestyle requests. The cast and crew were blown away with how full they were, and we were constantly battling with the decision to get another breakfast burrito, another Po' Boi sandwich, or another serving of Chicken Alfredo. Seriously, it was THE hardest decision to make on this set.
A decision that wasn't hard to make was choosing to use this opportunity as a trailer for the full film. You can find more information about "Christophe: Ballad for the Lost" on the official production Facebook page linked here. We're excited to submit this film to more festivals in Oklahoma to give our cast and crew more opportunities to see this film publicly on the big screen.
Get out and shoot!
Despite the gunshots, the computer crashes, and the dangerously close submission, Star Swamp was proud of this set and found it to have been a positive experience. In general, the 48 Hour Film Festival is a great experience for all filmmakers, and it tests you personally and professionally as an artist and a filmmaker.

This Gluten-Free Vegan Black Forest Cake is super chocolatey, rich and creamy, and filled with sweet, juicy cherries.
I know I seem to say this about every dessert, but Black Forest Cake, or Black Forest Gâteau, or Chocolate Cherry Cake, or whatever else you call it has always been one of my favourites. My mum always used to buy it from the frozen aisle in the supermarket…anyone else the same?
Anyway, after making this Chocolate Cherry Trifle, I knew I had to combine those delicious flavours in the form of a sponge layer cake.
Although this version here is vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar free, it's every bit as delicious as the traditional version!
The moist and fluffy sponge pairs beautifully with the cloud-like coconut whipped cream and boozy cherries, which are all enrobed in a luxurious and decadent chocolate sauce.
I used my favourite vegan, gluten-free and refined sugar free sponge as a base for this Gluten-Free Vegan Black Forest Cake – I love its taste and texture, and what's more, it requires just one bowl and uses easily accessible ingredients. The coconut oil gives the sponge a rich, buttery flavour whilst ground almonds add a nutty sweetness and fluffiness.
The recipe is also easily customisable, as you can use any liquid sweetener you like, and substitute the coconut oil with olive or vegetable oil if you wish.
For the filling, I went with coconut whipped cream, and heaps of seasonal, fresh, super juicy cherries. You can use kirsch, brandy, or even Amaretto.
Remember to check whether it's gluten-free if necessary, and you can check whether it's vegan or not by searching on barnivore.com.
If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use tinned cherries, frozen cherries, or those preserved cherries that come in jars. Cherry jam would also work well. But since it's summer and all, I thought I'd maximise on the seasonal produce and splash out on some fresh cherries.
You can also use a thick coconut yogurt instead of coconut whipped cream if you're pressed for time.
I then topped off this Gluten-Free Vegan Black Forest Cake with some chocolate sauce, which is completely optional, but oh-so-delicious. You can use melted dark chocolate, but if you'd prefer it to be refined sugar free, you can also melt some coconut oil and mix with cocoa powder and maple syrup (or any other sweetener).
Can you cook the whole mixture in one tin and cut in half?
Yes definitely – though you will need to double the cooking time!
Thank you! I use Thai Taste coconut milk. I've heard Trader Joe's works well too! Hope that helps!
Hi, thanks for reply. Is that the 200ml sachets of Thai taste coconut milk and if so, do you freeze the night before to get the separation to happen? Thank you!
Ah no it won't work with the sachets of Thai taste coconut milk, only the tins!


With a bag full o' peaches (millions of peaches…peaches for me…) I picked up from a roadside stand, I created this Peach and Avocado Salsa for the fine ladies over at Bon Bon Rose Girls. So if you want to get some of this freshness, hop over to my post and enjoy this fab recipe that simply screams of summertime!
So grab some peaches and fight off this whole end of July thing with a summertime salsa…hope you're having a productive and happy week!
Great post. Greeting from Indonesia.
That looks so good! And gives me an idea for what to do for dinner tonight (since we have two very ripe peaches on our counter right now). Thanks for the inspiration!

The best tech podcasts for beginners and pros
Jun 25, 2019 · 5 min read
Who's got the time to keep up with all the latest tech inventions, Silicon Valley startups and online privacy scandals? It's much easier to spare a few minutes (or thirty) of your morning commute to listen to a podcast. We reviewed the top technology podcasts for everyone – from gadget lovers to industry experts.
The latest tech news and trends
IT visionaries
Hackable?
Tech tips and tricks
Tech Talker's Quick and Dirty Tips to Navigate the Digital World
Too Embarrassed to Ask
Mac Power Users
Behind the scenes at tech companies
This Week in Google
Daring Fireball: The Talk Show
Technology with a human touch
Analog(ue)
Why'd You Push That Button?
A roundtable discussion of two hosts, two guests and four current technology issues. The podcast covers topics from electric scooters to voice assistants and Mark Zuckerberg's latest privacy statements. No episode is longer than 30 minutes.
IT visionaries discuss the future of IT with industry leaders – everyone from Fortune 100 CEOs, CTOs, and CIOs to startup founders. This podcast provides its listeners with exclusive interviews, insights and lessons learned from the frontlines of the IT industry.
If you like the Wall Street Journal, you will like this podcast. WSJ journalists review the latest trends and try to guess at how they will change the future. Have you ever wondered what the future holds for Google's Alexa? Will robots be able to find aliens on Jupiter and Saturn?
This Week is a great podcast for a broad take on what's happening in the tech world. Each week, the host, Leo Laporte, and his guests have a panel discussion where they talk about the latest tech developments. Beware that each podcast is around 2 hour long, so it might not be the best choice for spontaneous listeners.
A16z is hosted by a Silicon Valley firm that supports technology entrepreneurs. The company is led primarily by former founders, CEOs, or CTOs of successful technology companies, so they know what they are talking about! The hosts discuss the latest trends, emerging tech, new brands, and modern tech culture.
IRL is hosted by Veronica Belmont who believes that 'Online life is real life'. She talks about real-life issues that happen everyday – breaches and leaks, cyberbullying, hacking, fake news – as well as more in-depth topics like what would've happened if women built the internet.
Hackable is the Tech equivalent to MythBusters. Don't believe that it's easy to hack into your device while you are browsing connected to a local cafe's WiFi? They'll prove it to you. And don't say we didn't warn you about this one!
Don't get fooled by the long name of this podcast – at five to ten minutes, the episodes are short and sweet. They provide loads of great tips for beginners on how to protect yourself online, save mobile data, and avoid spam. All content is presented in an easily digestible way. They say their lists and simple how to's are created:
"so that even the most tech illiterate can understand what's going on with their computer or smartphone — and what to do when something goes wrong."
This is a great podcast for beginners who love technology but sometimes are too embarrassed to ask questions that might seem silly to tech pros. It's a discussion panel that covers tech innovations, and also takes questions from the listeners. Even though the team stopped creating new content in 2018, their repository of content is still great for listeners today.
This podcast is for Apple lovers, and not just for Macs – it covers other Apple products too. The hosts are lawyers by trade but they all share a passion for tech, so expect some useful tips that will help you to make the most of your devices.
This podcast by Bloomberg Technology takes you behind the scenes at small and large tech companies. Expect to hear more about what goes on behind closed doors, how tech companies deal with rivals, and what secret projects they are currently working on.
If you are a diehard Google fan and want to keep up to date with their latest innovations, this podcast is for you. The hosts discuss new gadgets and discoveries, Google's competitors, and cloud computing news. Episodes can run up to two hours, so be prepared!
The Talk Show is hosted by John Gruber, who is famous for his longform articles about Apple's products. He provides the latest information about Apple's devices and their features, as well as unique stories about the company. However, the podcast is so entertaining that even Android fans will love it.
Analog(ue) isn't your typical tech podcast. It puts a deeply human spin on tech topics. The two hosts talk about how technology makes us feel and whether trends are changing us for the better or worse.
Reply all is a podcast about the internet, but it covers more than that. The hosts also discuss the digital age and how to survive in it. Reply All released their first episode in 2014 and they already have over a hundred stories, so you'll have loads to catch up on.
This lighthearted podcast talks about maneuvering the digital world. Technology promised us an easier and more efficient life, but it can also become overwhelming. In this podcast, Manoush Zomorodi looks at technology from a human perspective and delves into topics such as how it affects our work, leisure and health and how to use technology in moderation.
This podcast, created by The Verge, discusses the choices technology forces us to make and the impact it has on our lives. Episodes often feature consumers, developers, friends, and strangers. They ask sometimes weird, straightforward, or even dumb questions about technology. For example, why do you keep your 'read receipt' on your messaging app, which shows you when the recipient read your message? Do you know what impact it has on your social life?
A tech podcast that was created accidentally, as the hosts say, "while trying to do a car show." It's run by three developers that managed to turn their hobby into a profession. They cover a wide range of topics with an emphasis on pop culture. That means a lot of content on programming languages, the latest product reviews, and console gaming. The hosts offer in-depth conversations with a lot of friendly techie jokes, so you really feel like you are sitting in the backstage of their studio.
Who said that only men are good at tech? Rocket is an all-female tech podcast hosted by Mashable Senior Tech Correspondent Christina Warren, Game Development and Tech Feminist Brianna Wu, and Family Gaming and Diversity Writer Simone de Rochefort. These three aspiring females cover everything about tech, comics, movies, books, and video games.

Coffee Lovers Sensitive to Caffeine's Bitter Taste: Study In study group, people who were sensitive to caffeine and were consuming lot of coffee consumed low amounts tea.
People who are more sensitive to coffee's bitter taste indeed drink more of the brew, a study suggests.
The study which is published in the journal Scientific Reports found that the sensitivity is caused by a genetic variant.
"You'd expect that people who are particularly sensitive to the bitter taste of caffeine would drink less coffee," said Marilyn Cornelis, assistant professor at Northwestern University in the United States.
"The opposite results of our study suggest coffee consumers acquire a taste or an ability to detect caffeine due to the learned positive reinforcement (ie stimulation) elicited by caffeine," Cornelis said.
"People who have a heightened ability to taste coffee's bitterness - and particularly the distinct bitter flavor of caffeine - learn to associate good things with it," she said.
In the study group, people who were more sensitive to caffeine and were consuming a lot of coffee consumed low amounts of tea.
The study also found people sensitive to the bitter flavors of quinine and of PROP, a synthetic taste accompanying the compounds in cruciferous vegetables, avoided coffee.
For alcohol, a higher sensitivity to the bitterness of PROP ensued in lower alcohol consumption, particularly of red wine.
"The findings suggest our perception of bitter tastes, informed by our genetics, contributes to the preference for coffee, tea, and alcohol," Cornelis said.
Scientists applied Mendelian randomization, a technique very often used in disease epidemiology, to trial the causal relationship between bitter taste and beverage consumption in over 400,000 men and women in the United Kingdom.
The genetic variants linked to caffeine, quinine, and PROP perception were previously identified through genome-wide analysis of solution taste-ratings collected from Australian twins.
These genetic variants were then tested for associations with self-reported intake of tea, coffee, and alcohol in the current study.
"Taste has been studied for a long time, but we don't know the full mechanics of it," Cornelis said.

New With Us
THE GROVE – COTTAGE GROVE
AT THE GROVE, WE TALK ABOUT JUSTICE AND ADVOCACY WORK AS "CULTIVATING THE COMMON GOOD." IT'S AN ESSENTIAL TO WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A CHURCH AND INDIVIDUAL FOLLOWERS OF JESUS.
PRIDE TEAM AND LGBTQ+ ADVOCACY
The Grove Church believes that every person is a beloved child of God, wonderfully made in God's image. The Grove Pride Team advocates for full inclusion and affirmation of LGBT+ people in our church and community by initiating conversations, celebrating diversity, promoting education, advocating justice and challenging anti-LGBT+ prejudice, bigotry and hate. All are welcome to join the PRIDE team!
Conversation, Advocacy, and Education
The Grove uses the following resources as discussion starters in our work of advocating for equal rights of persons who identify as LGBTQIA.
The Gender Bread Person teaching tool breaks the big concept of gender into bite-sized pieces. Occasionally workshops are offered using Gender Bread.
Offered yearly, the Faithful and Inclusive small group encourages participants in developing perspectives on Bible passages related to homosexuality.
A quick read with great depth, Beyond the Gender Binary provides a personal account of being too much and not enough.
A guide for teens, Queerfully and Wonderfully Made includes support and insights from professionals as well as testimonials from teens. It's companion, Welcoming and Affirming, provides guidance to those working with LGBTQIA+ teens.
Same Gender Weddings
The Grove Pastors commit to supporting and celebrating same-gender marriages in the same way that we support and celebrate other marriages. Pastors at The Grove are honored to officiate same-gender weddings to celebrate love and commitment. As with any wedding conducted, supportive premarital counseling and thoughtful wedding planning is available. Reach out to any pastor for more information.
This support group is for parents with kids and teens who identify as LGBTQIA or are questioning. Meeting sometimes weekly and sometimes monthly, this group supports and encourages families who are on the journey of understanding and celebrating their fullness of their kids.
The mission of the Grove Sustainability Project is to promote care of God's creation by adopting practices that make our church campuses more sustainable and by working with our community on sustainable practices and environmental justice. The vision of the Grove Sustainability Project is that by 2030, The Grove will be recognized in the community as a leader in conservation, sustainability, renewable energy and an advocate for Climate Justice.
The Grove Sustainability Project
The Grove UMC established a sustainability committee in 2017 to continue implementing sustainable practices within the church following the addition of solar panels to the roof in 2016. The team also began holding annual events in 2017 to provide the Woodbury community with informational opportunities to understand climate change and other important environmental issues.
In 2021, the team changed its name to The Grove Sustainability Project to reflect our enhanced mission to expand outreach about sustainability matters within the church and the greater Woodbury and East Metro communities.
The Grove UMC has earned a City of Woodbury Environmental Excellence Award and is a Certified Cool Congregation and Climate Justice Congregation by Minnesota Interfaith Power & Light.

As disciples of Jesus Christ who honor the sacred worth of all people and love our neighbors, The Grove United Methodist Church, through education and action to heal our broken world, is an advocate for racial justice and equity, cultural transformation, and an inclusive community.
Growing Goodness through Racial Justice Work
In the weeks that followed the murder of George Floyd in May 2020 the Core Leadership Team discerned a way forward in beginning the important work of addressing racial injustice. A Racial Justice Steering Committee was commissioned in January of 2021 to lead the first wave of a racial justice initiative for The Grove. Partnering with the Core Team, staff and the Racial Justice Steering Committee the purpose statement was developed and a three-year strategic plan was finalized in December of 2021.
The framework for The Grove's Racial Justice Strategic Plan was informed by The Mission of the UMC & Spiritual Imperatives of our Annual Conference, The Grove's Motivating Vision to "Grow Goodness" and the Anti-Racism Work in the Greater United Methodist Church.
Three racial justice action teams have been commissioned and action steps have been identified based on the strategic plan:
Congregational Awareness: Working to bring book studies, movie nights, sermon series and other experiences for the congregation to educate and build awareness around racial justice issues.
Training Opportunities: Working to bring workshops and other educational or training opportunities to the congregation.
Congregational Resources: Working to develop a meaningful and accessible justice resource list (books, movies, podcasts, e-learning opportunities, TV shows, etc.) for The Grove and to develop & organize justice sections in the library.
The People of The Grove UMC acknowledge that our church sites are located on the ancestral home of the Wahpekute Dakota people who continue to live on and steward this land as they have for generations.
We acknowledge the history of trauma the Dakota people suffered due to unjust practices by the government of the United States and complicity of North American Christianity including progenitors of the United Methodist Church. This trauma is not just historic, it is also generational and contemporary. These unjust practices are inconsistent with The Grove's mission to Grow Goodness.
We acknowledge the sanctity of Dakota heritage, their connection to the land and their unique ability to serve as examples of land stewardship as well as supportive, connected communities.
The Grove UMC commits to making connections with Indigenous people and to listen to their stories and learn how we can help address the errors of the past and make a better today and tomorrow for Indigenous people.
The Grove - Cottage Grove. A location of The Grove United Methodist Church. 8600 90th Street S, Cottage Grove, MN 55016

Q: What's the wrong with making the ApplicationCookie SameSite=Strict in IdentityServer4? I'm developing an IdP with IdentityServer4, and everything works fine, but now from the security perspective, I want to make it as secure as I can; So I made all cookies SameSite as Strict, and after that, I got HTTP error code 400 in situation below:

*

*User TestUser opens the client app A

*TestUser signed in to the client app A

*TestUser signed out from the client app A

*TestUser is trying to log into the client app A again (he/she hits the login button in the client app A)

*at this point, the TestUser redirects to my IdP's login page but receives only the HTTP 400 error code and no other details are displayed to check the status.

And here are my cookies:

And my configuration:
// Identity Cookie (Authentication cookie)
services.ConfigureApplicationCookie(options =>
{
    // options.Cookie.Name = .....
    options.Cookie.HttpOnly = true;
    options.Cookie.SecurePolicy = CookieSecurePolicy.Always;
    options.Cookie.SameSite = SameSiteMode.Strict;  // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
    options.SlidingExpiration = false;

    // without expire time ~> session cookie. destroy after closing the browser
    // options.ExpireTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10000);
    // options.Cookie.Expiration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1000);
});

And as you can see, .AspNetCore.Identity.Application (application cookie) cookie is set to be SameSite=Strict. If the SameSite set to be Lax, everything works fine, but what is the matter with SameSite=Strictin this scenario?

A: In short because IdentityServer4 (and any OpenID Connect provider for that matter) relies on HTTP redirects between different sites and cookie authentication for the OIDC endpoints themselves. SameSite=Strict is inherently incompatible with the duties the primary authentication cookie has to perform unless all clients live within the same site (according to the SameSite rules of what constitutes "same site").
When you move from client.x.com -> idp.y.com that's a non-SameSite navigation so any Strict cookies for idp.y.com will be blocked by the browser.
Having SameSite=None is OK however provided you have comprehensive CSRF protection on all of your cookie-secured endpoints. Note that idsrv.session must be SameSite=None as it is used by the session monitoring endpoint which is loaded inside an iframe within the client application.
You can see this behaviour if you inspect the request cookies in the developer tools - it will indicate blocked cookies with a warning triangle and explain the reason in the tooltip.

(→History)
=='''History'''==
After the destruction of the twin Shogun Warriors, the Shogun will fly around the stage and shoot at the [[Arwing]]s with greater speed and aggression than it's predecessors. Its shield can absorb the Arwings' [[Laser]]blasts, but it is relatively fragile, and will break off after taking several hits.The Shogun is much more agile than the Shogun Warriors and is that much harder to hit, but its pilot makes the huge mistake of periodically landing on the deck of the carrier for short periods of time and shooting at the Arwings while standing still. This makes him an easy target for laser-fire. His last words are "Aaaaaahhhhh!". Going by the pilot's introduction, the Shogun was apparently a recent development at the time they fought.

==='''Other Info'''===
*Although more models did not appear after the Lylat Wars, Oikonny's uprising featured a very similar mecha at one point during the [[Battle of Fortuna (Oikonny Rebellion)|Battle of Fortuna]] that was apparently a prototype given what the characters stated. The prototype was later encountered at the Asteroid Field in the Aparoid Base construction area, only this time it was infected by the [[Aparoid]]s.
*Although more models did not appear after the Lylat Wars, Andross' uprising featured a very similar mecha at one point during the [[Battle of Fortuna (Oikonny Rebellion)|Battle of Fortuna]] that was apparently a prototype given what the characters stated. The prototype was later encountered at the Asteroid Field in the Aparoid Base construction area, only this time it was infected by the [[Aparoid]]s.

Ape-like flying mech
Moderate (enhanced when in possession of it's shield)
The Shogun is a powerful mech used by the Venomian Army which serves as the second boss for Sector Y in Star Fox 64. It is deployed by the Saruzin attack carrier immediately after the two Shogun Warriors are defeated by the Star Fox Team.
Pilot Of The Shogun in Star Fox 64.
The Shogun is an ape-shaped combat space suit, armed with a laser pistol and a shield.

The name Shogun is the Japanese word for "General."
If you hit Shogun, the pilot will say "Cocky little freaks!". In Star Fox 64 3D, if you hit him for a 2nd time, he'll also say "You're making me mad!"
Like the Shogun Warriors, this boss is a full-on reference to Mobile Suit Gundam. Fittingly, this White One (Har har) happens to be equal to that of the Gundam. RX-78-2, to be precise.

I've rediscovered a love of mine in November. Truly obsessed! My most recent post goes into my latest nighttime skincare routine. A simple and easy regimen that I believe is changing the life of my skin. There's one piece of the puzzle that I'm becoming obsessed with. It's the key ingredient and I don't see it going away any time soon.
Argan Oil is such a special oil. It's light enough to use everyday and effective enough to heal your skin. I'm convinced that it is improving the look of my face and neck and I wish I had been more consistent over the last year with it. I specifically use the Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil. There are several brands to choose from. Give it a go. Check out my current nighttime routine to see how I use it. You may fall in love too!

Caught up with Frankie "The Answer" Edgar at Lou Neglia's Ring of Combat show last Friday night. We talked about his upcoming title fight at UFC 112 with BJ Penn.
In this wide ranging interview, legendary fighter Renzo Gracie talks about the difference between the old no hold barred days and today's rules. Surprisingly, he thinks the sport was safer back then and explains why. He also talks about his upcoming fight with Matt Hughes and avenging Royce Gracie's loss. Plus a whole lot more good stuff.
Caught up with Matt Serra at Lou Neglia's Ring of Combat on February 19th. Matt talked about beating Frank Trigg, Renzon's upcoming fight with Matt Hughes at Abu Dhabi, UFC matchmaker Joe Silva and more. Oh and he out burps the legendary Superfoot Wallace.
Shane Carwin is training hard for his fight with Frank Mir for the interim heavyweight title at UFC 111 in Newark, NJ on March 27. Shane hasn't fought since last March and last night I asked him about the long layoff and about Mir's penchant for trash talk. He didn't seem phased by either. In fact he believes the layoff is helfpul in some ways, saying, "For a guy like me who is limited on ring time and experience it has been a good thing. Anytime I can train and spar at a high level and advance my skills while taking little to no long term damage I feel I get better. Don't get me wrong I go home with black eyes, sore jaw, but I do feel like I am getting better."
Since Shane's style is similiar in some ways to Brock Lesnar's, both men being masters of the "ground and pound," I asked him if there was anything he learned about Mir from watching Frank's last fight with Lesnar. Shane replied that there were "a few things that we will look for but Frank is a smart guy and I suspect he will have transitioned some since that fight. I think I have what it takes to win the fight standing or through ground and pound. He is going to be looking for mistakes and openings for his submissions. It will be a true honor to test myself against Frank."
I love the sport with a true passion; much like I'm assuming anyone reading this article does. One of the facets I enjoy most about MMA is witnessing the meteoric rise of fighters who materialize out of nowhere to isolate themselves as standout competitors through dominant and exciting performances.
In that vein, I would like to introduce Amilcar Alves, an 11-1 fighter who has taken the Brazilian combat scene by storm by overwhelming his opponents with an immeasurable array of offensive weapons. Training alongside elite-echelon fighters at the highly touted Nova Uniao fight team like world champion Jose Aldo, top Sengoku featherweight Marlon Sandro, and upcoming UFC brawler Ronnys Torres, Alves is known for unleashing a hurricane of hostile Muay Thai on the feet, and he's also proficient with aggressive submissions on the mat.
He has an extensive 25 years years of experience with Judo, 10 years with Muay Thai, and now several years of intense Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under the tutelage of the great Andre Pederneiras. Pederneiras has overseen such submission grappling greats as B.J. Penn, Vitor "Shaolin" Ribeiro, Marc Laimon, Marcus Aurelio, and Renato "Charuto" Verissimo.
There are two reasons why you should know and love Brazilian MMA fighter Joaquim "Mamute" Ferreira: the first is that he is the only fighter to not only defeat UFC heavyweight mangler Junior Dos Santos, but finish him with a slick armbar; the second is that he is an old school Sepultura fan and the Cavalera brothers are what got him into fighting.
You say you have no idea who or what a "Sepultura" is? You probably either get the senior discount on your McDonald's coffee, listen to Michael Bolton, or you're an avid badminton fan (not that there's anything wrong with any of those exemplary qualities).
Before we get into the interview, let's discuss Mamute's losses. A quick glance at his 8-3 record does not relate the full story nor reflect the talent that this young man exudes. He suffered his first two losses on the same night in the XFC tournament in Rio De Janeiro. He first engaged Andre Mussi to a grueling decision that most believed Mamute should have won, and as a testament to this, Mussi was unable to continue in the tournament finals because he was too worn-down and injured from Mamute's submissions. Exhausted himself, Mamute stepped up and took Mussi's position in the tournament finals later that evening against a man named Junior Dos Santos.
I was able to catch up with Ron Foster, a former MMA fighter and the man in charge of making the magic happen for the rapidly accelerating Shine Fight Promotions.
Shine Fights vaulted into the MMA spotlight with the star-studded lineup of their second event, titled "ATT vs. The World". The card featured a compelling and diverse blend of both experienced veterans as well as promising up and comers, such as Yves Edwards, Roan Carneiro, Micah Miller, Jorge "Macaco" Patino, Junior Assuncao, and Luis "Buscape" Firmino.
Shine Fights has been swallowing up oodles of talent as of late, signing former pro boxer Ricardo Mayorga (who will make his MMA debut for the promotion in March of 2010), Murilo "Ninja" Rua, and Russian fighter Alexander Shlemenko, to name a few. The upcoming Shine card will feature Mayorga's debut against a yet to be announced opponent (although Din Thomas is quite vocally lobbying for the fight), Hector Lombard vs. Alexandre "Cacareco" Ferreira, the rematch between Luis Azeredo and Luis "Buscape" Firmino from their stellar fight at Pride Bushido 6, and exciting Luta Livre fighter Luciano Azevedo versus the HIT Squad's BJJ coach, Kyle Watson.
Jerry Bohlander is one of the original members of the infamous Lions Den camp, the first official UFC Lightweight Champion, and one of the fighters who inspired my involvement with MMA.
I was fortunate enough to get a chance to correspond with Jerry on a number of topics, such as training at "The Den", what he thinks of the evolution of the UFC and MMA, and what it was like being coached by Ken and Frank Shamrock. Jerry also discusses his war with Scott Ferrozzo, which is still one of my all-time favorite fights.
Since you were such a prominent figure in MMA during a unique time in the sport's youth, how do you feel about what the sport has evolved into today?
"I think the growth is great. The potential for a fighter to make a great living is there. I like the fact that there are so many quality clubs right now that offer a variety of techniques, skills, and styles. Of course, just about every McDojo out there offers some kind of MMA class with an expert instructor. Even in the little town that I live in there is a guy claiming to have trained extensively with Ken and frank (Shamrock). By extensively he is referring to the 1 time a week he used to drive out to the Lodi Lions Den back when we used to train there. Anyway, I'm going to get off of my high horse and tell you that I appreciate where the sport is going. It offers a lot for the guy or girl that is willing to put in the time and effort to excel."
Today I was on a conference call with Jon Jones's co-managers Ryan Ciotoli and Gary Marino. We discussed the Matt Hamill fight and the stoppage. They plan to appeal the ruling that gave Jones a DQ loss and will attempt to have the loss changed to a no-contest.
TheGARV.com: Hey guys, thanks for the call. First off, I just want to say that Jones looked great in there against Hamill. Amazing performance.
Ryan Ciotoli: Oh yeah. He did the things he wanted to do. I talked to Jon and he's not disappointed by the performance, just the result.
TheGARV.com: After the fight he said he accepted the ruling. But now after reviewing the tapes, you feel he has a case for a no-contest?
Ryan Ciotoli: He doesn't want to embarrass anyone but he feels that the fair ruling would be a no contest. After the fight we watched the tapes again and there were a few things that stuck out in our minds that the ref did wrong. We'd like to see the loss removed.
TheGARV.com: What should the ref have done differently?
Gary Marino: The ref said to Matt Hamill, "Are you done?" but Matt didn't answer and he called the fight. If he would have stood Matt up, cleaned the blood out of his eyes, and brought in his interpretor, he would have found out right there that Matt could not continue due to the shoulder injury. The commissioner said at the press conference that if an illegal blow is the cause of the end of the fight, then it has to be ruled a DQ. But in reality, the illegal elbows did not end the fight, it was the shoulder injury. If the ref had communicated better, he would have seen it was the shoulder not the nose.
Ryan Ciotoli: I also think that Matt felt he'd lost the fight and didn't see Mazzagatti standing over him. Mazzagatti should have cleaned off Matt's face and brought in the doctor to evaluate him. Brazilians have translators; Matt does as well. But his interpretor was not used by the ref. Jones did throw some questionable elbows. Jon was looking for a different angle and it wasn't intentional. And if you look at the slow motion replay, it doesn't look like 12 to 6, there was a curve to it. Maybe 12 to 7 or 12 to 8. Plus there was no warnings from the ref prior to the stoppage.

Victoria's Only Local Delivery App Adds Grocery Pick Up, Donates Fees
Greater Victoria's local delivery app has responded to the significant need for grocery delivery in the Capital Region with a new pick up and delivery option for online grocery orders. TUTTI will also be donating proceeds from the new service to the Rapid Relief Fund until April 10, 2020.
"TUTTI is a delivery app, best known for meal delivery from restaurants, but we also have a growing Gofer Service, which includes running errands like grocery shopping and prescription pickup," said said TUTTI founder and CEO Kaisa Aierken.
"When we started hearing that people couldn't get grocery delivery, due the COVID-19 situation, we decided to add a streamlined service for people who want to make an online grocery order and have it delivered to their home. All they have to do is place a pick-up order with their grocery store of choice and schedule delivery on the service tab of the TUTTI app."
Customers will pay a fee of approximately fifteen dollars for delivery of their online grocery orders, depending on the distance of the delivery from the store. Ten dollars from each delivery will be donated to the Victoria Rapid Relief Fund.
"Our regular restaurant delivery and Gofer errand service is still available and has been very busy as more people are staying home to social distance, especially those who are at higher risk if they contract COVID-19," said Aierkan. "We want to assure customers that we currently have lots of capacity to deliver to them in a timely manner and that we have put a no-contact delivery option in place for the health and safety of our customers and our drivers. We have also added additional customer service capacity to support customers with questions or who need assistance with using our app."
TUTTI delivers everything. Available in English and Mandarin for iOS and Android devices, TUTTI is a meal delivery and Gofer service app that provides lower cost delivery of meals from more than 100 restaurants and an errand service that picks up and delivers everything from dry cleaning to birthday cakes. TUTTI is located in Victoria, B.C. and has a local customer service team available by phone and online between 11 a.m. and 12 a.m. daily.

Love it or hate it, there's no denying that we're living in the frontier of the wireless age. When Apple launched AirPods last year, people were sceptical. These days, we can't seem to live without them — after all, our tech devices seem way more desirable sans the messy sight of dangling wires.
Danish tech mavens Bang & Olufsen have jumped onto the bandwagon, following suit with the brand's inaugural launch of totally wireless earphones, Beoplay E8. Abiding by the B&O design ethos, the product is shaped beautifully discreet and stylish all at once. Compact, diminutive, and fits perfectly in your ears — like a bug in those spy movies?
Buttons? Not on these buds. Encompassing an intuitive touch interface, all you have to do is tap on its aluminium base for control with the Beoplay E8, whether its activation or pausing a track. Want to put Kendrick Lamar on hold? Tap once on the right earbud. If you wish to skip the song, simply double tap on the same side. While it might take a while to get accustomed to the controls, once you've mastered it, you no longer have to fumble with your phone to manage your auditory experience. Also, expect no less from the luxury brand in terms of its software, as the Beoplay E8 is tuned by the prestigious B&O sound engineers for a rich, full-bodied, and precise soundstage. It may be small, but each bud is built with a 5.7mm dynamic speaker.
What's also cool is its transparency mode (activated with a single tap on the left earbud), which streams sound from the outside world into the headphones. It's like noise cancellation, but works in reverse. A tad sneaky if you ask us, as this means you can easily tap into people's conversations under the façade that you're plugged in.
These earphones deliver up to four hours of music on one charge, accompanied with a pocket-friendly charging case. Whenever you're not using them, simply stow them away in the nifty case, so your buds are effectively powered up before your next move.
Available at the Bang & Olufsen store and other selected retailers.
What goes into creating a speaker like Bang & Olufsen's BeoSound Shape?

Sting Back On Stage Tonight With 'The Last Ship'
Tue, January 14 by Pulse of Radio
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest E-Mail
Tonight (January 14th), Sting hits the stage in the Los Angeles touring revival of his musical, The Last Ship. The month-long Californian stand runs through February 16th at the Ahmanson Theatre. Sting stars as shipyard foreman, "Jackie White," and will perform the role at every performance. The show's upcoming road jaunt will play further residencies in San Francisco; Washington, D.C.; and St. Paul; before closing in Detroit.
We recently snagged some one-on-one time with Sting, and he told us that immersing himself into a theatre production always seems to bring out the best in him: "I mean, I've been in musical theatre before this; I was in The Threepenny Opera on Broadway in the '80s. It's a different discipline. I'm not playing myself — I mean, there are aspects of me in the songs, but I'm playing another character. That's challenging and also very freeing. Y'know, I don't have to be me. In fact, one of the great things about writing this musical is that I don't have to be in my own head. I'm getting into someone else's head. It's an act of empathy. You enter someone else's life and you see the world from their point of view."
'The Last Ship' U.S. theatre runs (subject to change):
January 14 to February 16 – Los Angeles, CA – Ahmanson Theatre February 20 to March 22 – San Francisco, CA – Golden Gate Theatre March 27 to April 5 – Washington, D.C. – National Theatre April 8 to 19 – St. Paul, MN – Ordway Center April 22 to 26 – Detroit, MI – Detroit Opera House
