Themed Minion crossing sign at Universal Studios Florida
In March 2011, Universal Studios Florida announced that Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast would be closing to make way for a new attraction. The ride began seasonal operations on April 1, 2011, before officially closing on August 18, 2011.[4][5] On April 14, 2011, Universal Orlando Resort began a teaser campaign on their Facebook page where weekly hints were released leading up to the announcement of their upcoming attraction.[6][7] On May 19, 2011, the attraction was officially announced at a live webcast at Universal Orlando Resort. Universal Parks & Resorts also announced a major refurbishment of The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at Islands of Adventure on the same day.[8][9]
Construction for the Despicable Me attraction at Universal Studios Florida began in mid-August 2011, with the closure & removal of the former Jimmy Neutron ride.[10] After a period of construction spanning several months, the attraction soft opened to the public on June 9, 2012.[11] On July 2, 2012, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem officially opened to the public.[3] The ride's gift shop, Super Silly Stuff, had opened prior to the ride in May 2012.[12]
On March 11, 2013, Universal Studios Hollywood announced that they would open Despicable Me Minion Mayhem in 2014.[13] The announcement followed a series of rumours stating the park would replace the recently closed T2 3-D: Battle Across Time attraction with a Despicable Me attraction.[14][15] A later announcement revealed the surrounding area would be themed to Super Silly Fun Land.[16] Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood had its soft opening on March 20, 2014, and officially opened on April 12, 2014.[17] The area surrounding the ride is themed to Super Silly Fun Land, featuring a rotating Zamperla Aero Top Jet ride under the name of Silly Swirly, a water play area and a dry play area.[18] A giant statue of Stuart the Minion was erected on top of the ride's building in July 2015.
On June 20, 2016, Universal Studios Japan announced that they would open the Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem attraction, replacing the Back to the Future: The Ride attraction in 2017.[19] The previous attraction had closed on May 31, 2016. The ride film was reanimated in higher quality and with a higher aspect ratio through a fisheye lens to accommodate the IMAX dome screens from the previous ride. The most recent version of the ride opened in Universal Studios Japan on April 21, 2017 in the then-new Minion Park area. This ride boasts more content than the others, with a third pre-show video, a more immersive ride experience, and a wider field of view. The notable thing about the Japanese version of the ride is its lack of 3D goggles due to the new screens. As a result, all references to the goggles are edited out of the pre-show videos.
In May 2019, Universal Parks announced that they have discontinued 3D at the Hollywood location, removing the need for 3D glasses and converting the ride film to 2D. The preshow had also been modified, removing all references to the 3D safety goggles. A few months later on July 18, 2019, Universal Parks announced that the Orlando version would follow suit and convert from 3-D to 2-D. In regards to the change, Universal has stated that they "consistently evaluate and refine our guest experiences", and "are excited for guests to experience Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem this way".[20]
Overview[edit]
Universal Orlando Resort announced that the attraction is being designed by their Universal Creative company in association with Illumination Entertainment and Despicable Me film producer Chris Meledandri. The ride is a motion simulator and features multiple characters from the film, including Gru, Margo, Edith, Agnes, and the Minions.
The attraction at Universal Studios Florida is located in Soundstage 42 in the Production Central area. The soundstage previously housed The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera from 1990 until 2002 and Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast from 2003 until 2011.[2] The attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood is located on the former site of T2-3D: Battle Across Time on the Upper Lot. The attraction at Universal Studios Japan is located on the former site of Back to the Future: The Ride in the San Francisco area in a new area called Minion Park.[14] The ride is also slated to open in 2022 at Universal Studios Singapore.

Queue[edit]
When people are waiting in line for the ride, they get to learn about the recruitments of a Minion, the profiles of Gru, Dr. Nefario, Margo, Edith, Agnes and the Minions, filled with scenes from the first film and the Minion Mini Movies. The guests are also given a Minion-quiz, to let them test themselves to see if they are fully prepared to be a Minion. The Hollywood version has details to look more like Gru's house than the one in Florida.
First pre-show room (Gru's living room)[edit]
First, the guests enter the room. Then the pre-show starts with Gru, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, who welcome the guests to their house through a remote camera, and explain to them that they will be trained as minions. Gru tells guests what to expect during their time as Minions. Afterwards, Gru orders the guests to proceed to his lab just as the camera battery runs out. A fart gun shoots them and has a terrible smell before the doors open. It is very stinky. Then a voice tells the guests safety instructions. Next, the doors open to Gru's laboratory with Gru explaining what to do while the guests enter the lab; the guests should stay in their row.
Second pre-show room (Gru's laboratory)[edit]
In this pre-show room, just before the ride, Gru, along with some Minions, enter the room and explains the public are there for a reason: henching for the world's #1 supervillain. Gru explains his newest scheme: turning human beings into Minions using a new device called the Minion Gun created by Doctor Nefario. Gru explains that there were a few snags in the initial Minionization test runs, and that all of the errors are eradicated, as far as the guests know. Next, the whole audience is given a routine body scan to make sure there are not any "human germs" in the lab by using high-density lasers. However, the scan is cut short due to a critical error: Gru becomes alarmed when the scan proves that some of the guests "have not showered in like a week", and he remarks on how gross that is. Luckily for the audience, Gru is in a bit of a time crunch and once he reminds the audience to shower once arriving back at their hotel and to not go straight to the pool, he warns the rest of the audience that he will hit them with his fart gun if any of them are thinking of backing out of the process. A spotlight shines on the gun, which is mounted in the corner of the room. The Minions cry and beg that Gru doesn't hit them with the gun. However, at that moment, the girls show up, and Gru tells the audience to ignore them.
Agnes and Margo start to explain to the audience that they should not be scared of Gru by calling him "just a big, bald teddy bear". Margo remarks that "there is no way he will shoot you with a Fart Gun", however she is proven to be wrong as Gru activates the Fart Gun, causing it to spray out into the audience. Everyone holds their breath, but Edith states that it actually released a banana scent. Upon hearing this, the Minions go crazy and start banging on the windows, much to Gru's dismay. Afterwards, Agnes wants to give a present to Gru. He states that he would love to accept it, but he needs her to wait, explaining that he is really behind schedule and has to train the public who are on the verge of becoming Minions. Margo eagerly asks Gru if the trio can assist him by training the guests: Gru thinks for a moment, but responds with: "I do not think so." However, as Edith starts begging, Gru says that the training is very technical.
It all becomes clear when Edith explains that their foster father has been reluctant for a while, not wanting to accept his daughters' willings. When Margo and Edith finally explain to Gru that the Minion training is "not like it's rocket science, or even fourth grade science" and that "a trained monkey can do it," he agrees irate, calmly explaining to the audience that he will leave his daughters in charge of the training. He leaves the room and wishes the guests luck in their training, and at exactly the same time Agnes attempts to catch up with him to give him her anniversary gift of the girls' adoption. Edith, however, tells her that Gru already left, which filled Agnes with sorrow, causing her to realize that Gru may have forgotten the anniversary of their adoption. Margo explains to her that he has not, and that also they have an important job to do: transforming the audience into Minions and training them for Gru's bidding. Margo's determination to initiate the training causes Edith to be pumped up and say: "Let's do this!". After that, the doors to the ride are opened, the public is let through. In Japan, the guests wait in their rows until they are directed to their individual safety briefing rooms by a lab assistant.
Safety video and final pre-show room (Japan only)[edit]
Once the riders are ushered into their holding rooms, the girls greet them and are amazed at how many people volunteered for "Minion Training". Edith worriedly remarks "Woah. Someone should tell them what happened to the last bunch." Margo tells her to stop as Gru tells the guests that being a minion is serious business, and if they make it through training in one piece, they can do something fun, like get ice cream or watch a movie. Then he explains that because there was a high level of losses with previous recruits, he is being forced to show them a safety video. He hands it over to the girls who explain the safety rules, including not to eat or drink, secure all loose articles, etc. The Minions demonstrate these rules in a humorous manner as they're explained. After the video ends, Margo pleads for the audience to abide by the given rules & Agnes tells the guests to enjoy their new life as Minions. A recap of the rules is displayed on the screen as the guests are ushered into the garage/boarding area.
Ride[edit]
Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood
With a loud bang, the ride vehicle springs to life, shooting forward before rising up a huge tunnel. Lights turn on to reveal a bunch of Minions cheering the guests on and waving to them as they rise. At the top, the vehicle arrives at a conveyor belt and is pushed forward towards a large set of doors. Once the doors open, riders see Gru's daughters on a hovercraft (Japanese version only; both American versions have the doors open, revealing Gru's daughters zap the riders).
Once Edith orders Kevin the Minion to zap the riders, he pulls a lever which activates the Minion Gun, transforming the riders into Minions. Next, the riders get pushed down a long tube to training by the girls. Margo welcomes the guests to the Minion Training Grounds. The vehicle dives down a ramp alongside other Minions and launches over a ramp and straight into a corkscrew. As the vehicle slows down and returns to the upright position, Margo instructs the guests, stating that: "This is where we test your "strength, speed and ability to not die". As the riders attempt to dodge the water sprayers, mist is sprayed on the audience from the ceiling as the sprayers are fired. The vehicle bounces off a trampoline and vaults onto a cactus, crushing a Minion in the process. Once they land, they are forced to dodge giant fly swatters, narrowly missing a few. The vehicle then dives through a laser maze simulation, only to get zapped at the end. A Minion gets zapped too and its skin puffs up, causing Agnes to scream "He's so fluffy!"
The laser wears off and the vehicle brakes in front of a crowd of Minions holding "Stop" signs. A huge boxing glove launches two Minions into a mattress, seemingly knocking them unconscious, and just when they think they're safe, another boxing glove launches into the car, sending two Minions flying alongside the vehicle as it is launched backwards, landing on a trapdoor that opens and sends the car down a pit, knocking over other Minions and coming to an abrupt stop at a chasm. This is where the girls put the recruits' problem solving and teamwork skills to the test; the latter are forced to create a huge, human hand-like Minion-chain to get across the other side. However, once Edith uses a huge banana as bait, the Minions get distracted by it. They erratically reach for the banana, jumping into the vehicle to grab it which causes the Minion-chain to break apart and the riders to unintentionally plummet down a long hole to the bomb transportation sector, which is a restricted area; Gru appears on a screen, questioning what the riders are doing in the restricted area.
The cart brakes at another chasm where Margo states that "we've gotta get you out of here", panicked, Suddenly, the worst happens: a bomb drops from a claw holder and explodes far below, starting a chain reaction which causes other bombs to explode in the bomb transportation room; when the girls get startled by the explosions, Agnes loses her gift and the guests attempt to retrieve it by plummeting into the abyss and dodging the bombs. The vehicle lands on a set of moving cogs, and the car narrowly misses a set of two buzzsaws. Agnes grabs the gift, but her celebration is cut short when a gust of wind shoots up from below, sending the gift and the vehicle flying into the air, hanging off a girder suspended in mid air. The gift rolls off the girder and falls down, with Agnes barely catching it. However, the vehicle lunges down into the conveyor belt below and causes multiple missiles to launch, with Kevin the Minion riding one into the sky. Gru arrives, attempting to catch the riders but a crowd of Minions send him rolling backwards on a missile. He falls into a vat of radioactive acid only to be nearly saved by grabbing onto the hovering vehicle that Margo, Edith and Agnes are riding. However, as Agnes is about to give her present to Gru, he gets unexpectedly knocked off the vehicle by a huge mallet unseen. He bounces off various objects before landing on a spring platform. The girls continue and fly out of harm's way, but as Gru remarks that he is okay, the platform activates and launches him upwards. As he falls back down, he gets hit by the mallet again and launched straight at the riders. The vehicle is pushed back past Kevin, who is still riding the rocket and screaming, and launches into the machine the girls are riding in. They get pushed off their vehicle and into another sector of the lab. Agnes grabs her gift as everything around them starts floating, making Margo realize that they are in the anti-gravity recycling room.
To make matters worse, a huge robot arm rises from under and pushes the girls up towards a set of crushers. When this happens, Margo warns her younger siblings to just hold on to the robot arm. A large tremor causes the girls to grab hold of the arm. This shocks Agnes and causes her to let go of her gift, sending it floating into the crushers above. She panics and frees herself from Margo's grip to retrieve the gift, much to Margo's concern. As she attempts to float off to recover the gift, the riders narrowly avoid a bomb and the crushers. However, once Agnes recovers her present by barely avoiding a huge spiked crusher, she starts floating into a huge oscillating fan, when, all of a sudden, Gru arrives, blocking the crushers with a steel beam and saving Agnes. Seeing each other, Gru and Agnes hug when suddenly the crushers start moving again, leaving Gru no choice but to summon all of his strength to stop the huge crusher just in time, saving all of them, including himself, from being smashed. Because of Gru's strength and pressure that he used to both save Agnes and stop the huge crusher, the anti-gravity recycling room's power goes down, and the riders, along with Gru and his daughters, plummet towards the ground and land safely on a crowd of Minions.
Once both the Gru residence and the guests land safely on the Minions, Gru opens Agnes' present, revealing a doll replica of himself. Despite it being "a little squashed and burnt", Gru finds it "absolutely perfect", and gives his daughters a hug, also gifting the trio with "a little something": an amusement park-like anniversary party, asking if they really thought he would forget the most important day of his life, the day he adopted his girls. Once the huge doors open to the party, the riders follow the Gru residence, now riding on a hovering vehicle, through the party. The vehicle plummets down a rollercoaster and crashes into the car ahead of them. They dodge various rides and decorations, knocking over a Minion and launching into the stage. Once there, Gru congratulates the guests of being successful in their training. However, Kevin arrives, riding the stray rocket from earlier. It is launched at the Minion Gun, right next to Gru however, the gun breaks and goes off on the riders, causing the effects to be reversed, transforming the guests into humans again. Once this happens, Gru gets disappointed, realizing the riders are "human again," and he orders someone off-screen for the next troop. (This is where the ride ends in Orlando, Hollywood and Beijing as the doors from the start close) The vehicle is pushed backwards and slowly lowers down through the same hole they came up through. Rainbow-colored mist is sprayed which covers the vehicle as it reaches the bottom and the ride ends. Once the vehicle's doors open, guests exit the lab.
Post-show[edit]
After the ride (in Florida and Hollywood), the doors open to a dance party with the public dancing to "Boogie Fever," along with a costumed Minion. In Japan, the exit corridors are fitted with rainbow lights and 'Fun, Fun, Fun' plays as the guests exit down some ramps.[2]
Gift shop[edit]
In May 2012, the ride's gift shop Super Silly Stuff opened at Universal Studios Florida,[12] replacing the Nickstuff store. The Hollywood version opened in March 2014 replacing T2 Gear & Supply Co. The store sells Despicable Me-related merchandise. The store is themed to the theme park Gru, Margo, Edith, and Agnes visited in the first Despicable Me film, Super Silly Fun Land. At Universal Studios Japan, an alternate version called the Minion Mart opened in mid 2015, replacing the Back to the Future Gifts store. However, this was closed and replaced by multiple other shops with the opening of Minion Park and the ride.
Special effects[edit]
As well as the entire ride being a motion simulator, other physical effects are used. Mist and water are sprayed from the ceiling on to the audience during key points of the show, wind blows in riders' faces throughout the ride, and various light effects flash in sync with the action on the screen.

Europe says it again: Citizens, we're going to make up for the sins of the elite in finance and politics, by stealing your hard-earned savings.
Why would they advertise this? Why tell people ahead of time you're planning to rob them blind, if they have money in the bank?
See how this works? "Heads, I win. Tails, you lose." The power boys are good at the game.


The Mind-Body-MONEY Connection – How Is It Affecting You?
Money is emotional. It's energetic. It gets us into our bodies. There's a definite mind-body-money connection.
Money can bring us pleasure, and it can bring us to our knees. So much is attached to money.
For some it provides bliss. For others it brings up feelings of sadness, loss, disappointment and despair.
I've worked with hundreds of incredible women over the years and for many of these brilliant and courageous entrepreneurs, the topic of money brings up embarrassment and shame.
The topic of money can trigger "financial trauma" (something we'll dive into another day) and wounds of all kinds.
You may think the kinds of "dark" emotions I described only reside in women who are deeply in debt or not making a substantial amount of money, but I'm sad to say that's not the case.
I've had clients who are making 7-figure incomes share the exact same thoughts and feelings as women making a small fraction of that amount.
I've experienced those feelings in the past as well and know how heart-wrenching and uncomfortable it can feel. Fortunately, I healed those emotions, and you can too!
We all have money blocks (myself included). The difference is the extent to which they impact us – our incomes – and our happiness.
It's these blocks that can trigger the "feast or famine" income cycles and the "anorexic/bulimic" spending patterns.
Look at the number and notice the feelings in your body. Write them down.
What is the main thing you say in your head when you look at the number? Write down any and all thoughts and phrases.
Next, do this exact exercise but with your Debt. Write it down and then go through the same process.
Make sure to write everything down. Don't just do it mentally.
Honor your process, and remember to be gentle and compassionate with yourself.
It takes a lot of courage to do this exercise. By taking this step, you've shed a light on some of the blocks holding your back.
I know it's not easy to do these kinds of exercises. The good news is there's so many great techniques you can use to eliminate your money blocks and create the life and wealth you desire.
Always remember how powerful and amazing you are. If other women can overcome these blocks, you can too!
Are you excited to do this exercise? Leave a comment, and let me know!


You can use Lion's screen zoom feature to quickly get closer to items on your screen. You can use keyboard shortcuts to zoom in and out. You can also zoom in on content in Safari with a separate feature that maintains the look of the web page.
Closed captioning for this video is available on YouTube: MacMost Now 677: Lion Screen Zoom.
Hi this is Gary with MacMost Now. In today's episode lets take a look at zooming in on the screen with lion. So screen zoom is been around for a while but lion has kind of revamped the entire feature and added some new things. Now lets take a look. So zooming is controlled in system preferences by universal access. Click on that, click on seeing at the top and then you've got zoom. You can turn it on or off. You can also use option command 8 to turn it on or off. Keyboard shortcut there so you can quickly access it without actually going into the system preferences. Then once you've got in you can zoom in with the option command and then the plus or minus and the equals the minus key to zoom in on the screen. Now of course the screen capture here for the video is not going to show you ,what it looks like so you want to check it out for yourselves. Now you have also the option to zoom in window, which gives you this little window which you can't see here, although allows you to see stuff inside, the screen capture is not going to show you but its actually zooming in and showing me just in the magnifying glass area what I m seeing. Now I have some other options as well. Click on the options key there, you can set the maximum minimum zoom and make it easier for you to manipulate it. You can choose whether preview rectangle is shown also you see what portion of screen you exactly are looking at, whether or not images are smooth and there is a keyboard shortcut for that and whether or not the zoom jumps to follow the keyboard focus which can be quite handy if you are just typing anything to zoom in on the area of the screen where the cursor is. Now you can also determine exactly when the zooming will work for functions of continuously with pointer or only when the pointer reaches an edge. So you can determine exactly how the screen moves around with your cursor. Now I should point out that if your main purpose for using zooming is to be able to see text on web pages better, then you no need to use that feature at all. On a webpage like here at MacMost, you can simply zoom in and zoom out using the gestures on your track pad, so friends I can zoom here on the text, and now previously on older browsers this was not that great because it didn't really adjust text and images and the layout really well. But with safari and lion you can really see that it does a very good job of actually making the text look very nice when you zoom in and its not disturbing the page layout at all. So if you just want to do this in safari, then gesturing is probably your best bet. Now you can also go to use these menu commands or keyboard commands. There, the zoom in and out. The old functionality I was talking about would be if you check this off and then you try to zoom in you could see it kind of breaks the page layout there just to adjust the text. So its much better to leave that off and let safari do it, natural zooming now is what looks good. So there is a look at zooming in line. Try yourself because obviously I cant really show you using screen capture what it looks like. But for this handy technique lot of graphic designers and coders and also different people using Mac also for different reasons find it useful Everyone so I am to use the zoom feature. Till next time, this is Gary Rosenzweig.


You can follow Kish here.
Born in Orlando, Florida. Went to school in NY and am now living in LA.
I make music (under the name Kilo Kish), make art and do some design stuff. I never went back to Pratt, I did an internship with this brand called Salvore, it was scarves and just patterns… cool screen-printing stuff and I was kind of into tactile arts, I wanted to see where that went, I knew I didn't want to be a fashion designer but I am into patterns and working with my hands.
Do you feel like you are a freshman, sophomore or senior in your field?
Sophomore… I feel like you kind of have to kick around and go through certain things to get a handle on what you're doing and now I'm definitely in a different head space about it. I was a freshman was up until maybe last year, because I didn't really take it that seriously and I feel like I hadn't done anything yet. But I wish I would have trusted myself a little bit more, in my own capabilities. I wish I was able to see what other people saw in me, earlier on. But now that I see music as an outlet for my art, just like I can make painting my art, just like I can make a collection my art. That gave it a different level of seriousness for me. So that's where I am now, it's also just getting older… you have a little more pride in the things you do and they're more calculated and you're less aloof with your work method. So I just want to make the best things that I can make and try to learn and get better at what I do. I just want to make stuff until I'm old. Hopefully, by the time I'm sixty I'll just be able to chill, money-wise and be able to paint and draw and make books and eat fruit in the morning and just be old, you know?

About Polocrosse
What is Polocrosse?
Although polocrosse resembles the American Indian game of lacrosse, its origins date back hundreds of years to Persia and its sister sport of polo. In England, polocrosse was an indoor exercise to teach people how to ride a horse. The modern game took shape in Australia in the 1930's. Today, there are over 6,000 players in the world. For over 25 years, the United States has had different levels of exchange programs, beginning with Australia and now includes several other countries. Team USA participated in the very first Polocrosse World Cup in 2003 and in each one, held every four years.
About The American Polocrosse Association
The American Polocrosse Association (APA) is a non profit 501(c)(3) public charity and is the official polocrosse organization in the USA. It was originally formed in 1984 in Phoenix, Arizona and it has helped polocrosse clubs organize from coast to coast. The APA now has 44 clubs across the US and is growing continuously. The APA is a member of the International Polocrosse Council (IPC) and has written the official USA- APA rule book.
The Association provides:
Umpire training and certification
Coaching accreditation
Instructional clinics
Sanctioning of tournaments
Tournament insurance
Selection of teams for international competition
Official APA rack cards and brochures on polocrosse are available here for download or contact us for printed samples.
"Articles of Incorporation" is a legal document that is filed with the state to create a corporation, and are the primary rules governing the management of a corporation in the United States. Non-profit articles contain the organization's basic information and tax exemption information. The APA has filed with the state of Texas for the purpose of legally documenting the creation of the organization, and became a wholly functioning 501C3 non-profit organization in 2008.

Do I have to be an expert horserider?
It doesn't hurt, but it's not at all necessary. There are many people in most clubs who learned to ride and play polocrosse at the same time. The game is played at all levels, called grades. At any event there are multiple grades – A being the top level, moving down through B, C and D. Often there is an E grade for people who have never before participated in a tournament. Larger tournaments usually have the numbers to handle having a Junior Division.
Do I need a special wardrobe and a large grassy field?
Certainly not. Unfortunately, all of the pictures and video that anyone ever gets to see show park-like expanses of grassy fields, riders all in white pants and matching polo shirts, the horses immaculately groomed with matching saddle pads, wraps, and bell boots, leather glistening, etc. At tournaments this is pretty much the case but there's a whole lot more polocrosse being played in jeans and T-Shirts by people with bizarre assortments of mix and match tack on dirt fields and arenas than idyllic scenes that always seem to be in those pictures. No one seems to want to take a picture or shoot video of a bunch of people that look like a squad of ragpickers riding horses that appear to have been used by the legions of Attila the Hun. While the standard field is supposed to be 60 yards by 160 yards with grass as the surface of choice, there are in fact a lot more dirt fields than grass and there are variations of the game that can be played in any reasonably sized area, indoors or out. Polocrosse is much more of an activity than just a game played at tournaments. From just messing around by yourself with a stick and ball, playing a little impromptu one on one, or perhaps two on two with some friends to full scale tournament play. It's all polocrosse, and it's all fun.
Do I need a special horse?
Absolutely not. Any horse will do. Horses pick up the game quickly and seem to enjoy it as much, if not more, than their riders. Any size, age, or breed. There is usually a melting pot of Quarter Horses, Thoroughbreds, Paints, Paso's, Walkers, Heinz 57, and even an occasional mule.
Do I need any sort of special tack?
While the American Polocrosse Association has a few rules about tack and equipment, it is best to check with your local club for their requirements. Just bring whatever saddle and head gear you have. All clubs require that helmets be worn when playing. It is also strongly recommend that you use polo wraps or sports medicine boots or some kind of leg protection and bell boots as well as a breast collar. The American Polocrosse Association is much more concerned about equipment. They specify leg protection and bell boots, breast collars, bits with no shanks – like snaffles and Kimberwickes – and saddles without horns, as well as some other stuff, must be used at sanctioned events. Most club members ride in Australian stock saddles and a few English saddles, but no one expects you to saw the horn off your favorite Western saddle. Whatever you have will do nicely.
Do I need to be athletic?
Not particularly. There is an interesting phenomenon in polocrosse. Many of the better players were those people who always got picked last whenever sides were being chosen for some school sport. Lots of us spent our formative years condemned to play right field in any baseball game. Polocrosse seems to have particular appeal for late bloomers and those of us who can't dance.
Is playing an entire match hard on my horse?
No harder than any other activity, other than hanging around the barn. Of course the higher the level in which you participate, the more fit your horse has to be. By the rules, no horse is permitted to play more than 54 minutes on any day and in most competitions, the horses only play 32 minutes a day.
Is polocrosse dangerous for me or my horse?
When you get lots of horses and people together, there are all sorts of interesting things that can happen. It is better to be safe than sorry. All the rules of the game are about safety. Since polocrosse is an umpired game, there is always at least one, or more often two, umpires on the field, and are in complete control of the game play. The primary reason that they are on the field is to ensure the safety of both horse and rider. The umpires' word is the law in these matters.
Will playing polocrosse have a negative effect on my horse's personality?
Just the opposite. Horses that play polocrosse rapidly develop a great deal of poise. Not only do they become absolutely bullet proof in short order, they also develop some moves you never knew they had. When you're playing polocrosse you forget all about riding your horse, and you and your horse start moving as one. That's why polocrosse is such a great way to learn how to ride. You are so focused on playing the game, horsemanship just naturally follows.
Where can I find a Coach/Clinician/Instructor to help me learn how to play?
The APA has a current contact list of Certified Coaches/Clinicians/Instructors who are available to travel to your location for clinics and instruction to safely help your polocrosse experience. APA Certified Coaches have been approved and held to a high standard by the Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP). The CAP was created to standardize the process of certifying qualified polocrosse instructors. These individuals have committed their time and energy towards the growth of polocrosse in the United States, ensuring a core competency in play and in teaching. They've also demonstrated their commitment to safety and horsemanship, having undergone the necessary course requirements to validate their certification. We strongly encourage new players to utilize an APA Certified Coach of this caliber. Click here for a list of Certified Coach/Clinician/Instructors.

Exploring Pronatalism and Assisted Reproduction in UK Medicine
Alexa Warnes
Globally, procreation is highly valued, and motherhood has long been seen as the normative role for women. Production of a biologically-related family in keeping with social norms is a key driver of the growing demand for assisted reproductive technologies as a 'cure' for infertility, which includes the provision of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) within the UK's National Health Service (NHS).
In this paper I argue that pronatalism – a social bias in favour of biological motherhood – entrenches harmful social norms for women as a group. I will question whether assisted reproductive technologies in the form of IVF bring radical change to women, or whether radical change is in fact required before assisted reproductive technologies can be considered to be liberating. I will explore whether the NHS access criteria for IVF are enabling or restrictive of women's reproductive autonomy, paying particular attention to how the restrictions on sexuality and age contribute to this debate. I argue that despite the social harms of pronatalist bias, eliminating public funding of IVF would wrongfully target those women who are reproductively marginalised, for example, same-sex couples, trans groups, women of advanced maternal age and women who are unable to pay for treatment. Instead, I argue that access to IVF within the NHS should be maintained, but I propose amendments that ensure that the service is more equitably distributed to those in same-sex couplings. Further, I suggest ways that IVF can be included in a wider range of measures that tackle the social issues of infertility in women of advanced maternal age. Finally, I make recommendations for the medical profession to help reduce pronatalist bias, ensuring maximum autonomy for women when they are considering their reproductive futures.
Alexa is currently in year 5 of undergraduate training to become a doctor, and has developed a keen interest in feminist literature alongside their medical studies. This interest came largely from the inspirational tutors within Brighton & Sussex Medical School's medical ethics department, to whom Alexa is eternally grateful for all their support and encouragement. Looking ahead to their career in medicine, Alexa very much hopes to continue contributing to the important area of feminist bioethics.

Peelin Orange is the definitive Collected Poems by one of Jamaica's leading voices, the current Poet Laureate, Mervyn Morris. These poems explore the everyday, the erotic, love and the melancholy and comedy of being. Often drawing upon Creole dialect, Morris explores his Jamaican heritage with trademark musicality. Each poem offers a pared-down shard of concentrated feeling and social observation. This Collected Poems is a landmark tribute to the winner of the Order of Merit (Jamaica) 2009 and highlights his distinguished contribution to West Indian Literature.
Mervyn Morris was born in Jamaica in 1937 and studied at the University College of the West Indies and St Edmund Hall, Oxford.

As their title track and album cover might suggest, The Pipettes would seem to be just another girl band trio, and are composed of members Rosay, RiotBecki, and Gwenno (top image: from left to right). But it would be misleading to say that they are "just another girl band trio". First of all, there are actually seven members. The four male band members you'll probably never see on a photoshoot provide the dance-punk musical accompaniment. The instrumental component of the band is independently known as The Cassettes, and includes guitarist and solo musician Monster Bobby who founded The Pipettes with former band member Julia Clark-Lowes. Secondly, it's arguably unfair to say that they're "just another" power pop band. It's actually a little bit of a controversy about how disposable this band might turn out to be. Given their manufactured origins and their post-retro 60s theme that motifs in the front girls' polka-dot uniforms and finger-waving dance choreography, the band seems almost gimmicky. However, all that seems to be deliberate, and what's more, they pull it off so damn well. One might even dare to think that The Pipettes actually have the potential to stay around long enough to make a chart-topping third album. One would hope so, because I personally haven't had enough of these darlings!
Their debut album We Are The Pipettes was released in the U.K. just over a year ago by Memphis Industries, but has only been released in the U.S. last month by Cherrytree Records. The Pipettes are currently touring Canada and will be performing at Lee's Palace next week on November 18th.
Wicked band. Love the song "Your kisses are wasted on me".

Q: How to resume multiple instances of Screen from command line with minimal steps? I have about 15 instances of screen running on my linux server.  They are each running processes I need to monitor.  I had to close terminal (hence the reason I launched screen).
Is there a way to reopen all 15 instances of Screen in different tabs without having to open a new tab, login to the server, print all the available screens to resume, and then type in the id for each screen session?

A: This python script just did the job for me.  I made three screen sessions and this fires up three xterms with the sessions reattached in each.  It's a bit ugly but it works.
#! /usr/bin/env python

import os

if __name__ == '__main__':

    tempfile = '//tmp//screenList'

    # capture allthescreenIds
    os.system('screen -ls | grep Det | cut -d . -f 1 > ' + tempfile)

    f = open(tempfile, 'r')
    screenIds = f.readlines()
    f.close()

    screenIds = [x.lstrip() for x in screenIds]

    for eachId in screenIds:
        cmdLine = 'xterm -e screen -r ' + eachId.strip() + ' &'
        os.system(cmdLine)

Salmonella sickens 16 in Norway; source unknown
3 days ago HEALTH and FOOD FoodSafetyNews 39 Print this Page
A rare type of Salmonella has infected 16 people in Norway with the majority needing hospital treatment.
The Norwegian Institute of Public Health (Folkehelseinstituttet) reported that the Salmonella Blockley outbreak had affected people living in several counties in the country.
The source of infection is unknown, so an investigation has been started with the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) and the Norwegian Veterinary Institute.
People have fallen sick from the end of November 2021 up to the first week of January 2022. They are aged 1 to 80, and 11 of them are women.
Five ill people live in Trøndelag, three each in Viken and Troms og Finnmark, two in Nordland and Vestland and one in Rogaland.
Likely less severe cases not being found
Bacteria with the same genetic profile has been detected in 12 of 16 patients which means they were likely infected from the same source.
Salmonella Blockley is a rare type in Europe. It has previously been recorded in Norway but only as individual cases.
Officials believe the fact that a dozen people have been hospitalized is more to do with milder cases not being detected rather than this type of Salmonella being especially dangerous.
Outbreaks of Salmonella are rare in Norway and usually caused by imported foods.
Heidi Lange, from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, said it was too early to say whether the outbreak would increase in scope and whether the source of infection will be found.
"Since they live or have lived in different counties, it is likely that people are infected through food that is distributed throughout the country. Patients are now being interviewed to find out if they have a common source of infection," she said.
About Salmonella
Food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria does not usually look, smell, or taste spoiled. Anyone can become sick with a Salmonella infection. Infants, children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness because their immune systems are fragile, according to the CDC.
Anyone who has developed symptoms of Salmonella food poisoning should seek medical attention. Sick people should tell their doctors about the possible exposure to Salmonella bacteria because special tests are necessary to diagnose salmonellosis. Salmonella infection symptoms can mimic other illnesses, frequently leading to misdiagnosis.
Symptoms of Salmonella infection can include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 12 to 72 hours after eating contaminated food. Otherwise, healthy adults are usually sick for four to seven days. In some cases, however, diarrhea may be so severe that patients require hospitalization.
Older adults, children, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems, such as cancer patients, are more likely to develop a severe illness and serious, sometimes life-threatening conditions. Some people get infected without getting sick or showing any symptoms. However, they may still spread the infections to others.

Introduction. The pain syndrome is leading clinical manifestation of angina pectoris and myocardial infarction. The pain syndrome is characterized by as rule pressing and constricting pains which are located predominantly in retrosternal area or in the left side of the chest.
Clinical case. The presented clinical case describes a clinical situation when a patient had initially been complaining of pungent pains in 3rd, 4th, and 5th fingers of the left arm occurring in exercise and rest. In consultation we suspected ischemic genesis of these pains on basis of a rapid reaction to molsidomine and detection of typical for ischemia electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic changes. The patient underwent contrast coronary angiography which allowed visualizing critical stenosis of the left anterior interventricular branch of left coronary artery. Further we performed balloon angioplasty of the stenotic part and as a result the artery lumen was enlarged. The coronary stenting of the affected coronary segment was accomplished with complete restoration of the artery lumen. No abnormalities on ECG recorded in rest, exercise (treadmill test) and Holter monitoring were revealed in the post-operation period.
Conclusion. Given ischemic heart disease and, as a part, acute coronary syndrome may manifest with pains of various locations and radiations, the general practitioners and cardiologic department doctors should pay special attention to all cases accompanying by painful sensations of atypical localization that would dramatically influence on the disease course and outcome of patients.

The man suspected of beheading a French teacher who had shown pupils cartoons of the prophet Muhammed was an 18-year-old from Chechnya, a judicial source said.
Five more people have been detained over the murder on Friday outside Paris, including the parents of a child at the school where the teacher was working, bringing to nine the total number currently under arrest, said the source on Saturday, who asked not to be named.
According to the source, the two detained parents had signalled their disagreement with the teacher's decision to show the cartoons.
The other new people detained for questioning are members of the suspect's social circle but not family members.
The assailant was shot by police and later died of his injuries. Identification documents were found on him.
Terror attacks
France has seen a wave of terror attacks since the 2015 terror attacks on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket in the capital.
French anti-terror prosecutors said they were treating the assault as "a murder linked to a terrorist organisation".
The attack happened on the outskirts of Paris at around 1500GMT near the middle school where the teacher worked in Conflans Saint-Honorine, a northwestern suburb around 30 kilometres from the city centre.
The killing bore the hallmarks of "a terrorist attack", President Emmanuel Macron said as he visited the scene.
Cartoon parody of Prophet
The middle school teacher was decapitated on the street of a Paris suburb showed his teenage students a cartoon lampooning the Prophet Muhammad as part of a class on freedom of expression earlier this month, parents said.
Nordine Chaouadi told Reuters he was the father of a 13-year-old pupil who attended the civics class given by the teacher, whom parents gathered outside the college referred to as Mr Paty.
French media have identified him as Samuel Paty.
The teacher had asked pupils who were Muslim to raise their hands and invited them to leave, advising them he would be showing a caricature of Mohammad that might cause offence, said Chaouadi.

Chateau Vino Swingers Club: A Complete Guide
By Editor October 21, 2016 No Comments
The only swingers club to have been awarded the Best Adult Party in Australia Award three times (2012, 2013 & 2014), Chateau Vino Swingers Club is a popular club on the Gold Coast for adventurous couples and singles.
If you are looking for some swinging fun, a little 'wifeswap', or simply a taste of one of the best sex parties in Gold Coast, this place should be on your radar.
Below we'll take a look at what you need to know about the regular sex parties and swinging events held at Chateau Vino.
Chateau Vino: The Original GC Sex Club
Opened in 2011, this sex club was the first of its kind to receive council approval on the Gold Coast.
They are open on Fridays and Saturdays only with different events running throughout the year. Officially the biggest swingers club in Queensland, Chateau Vino regularly run their Big Dress Down Play Parties; an event where everyone strips down to their underwear from 10pm and the whole venue is designated an open play zone.
Newcomers are welcome to these events but they are certainly not for the faint hearted!
The first Friday of each month is designated a new couples and singles night and has limited space for single guys. It's a great opportunity for anyone dipping their toe in the waters and is aptly named the Sneaky Peek night.
They also host Voracious Vixen nights when the ladies are in charge. Single guys can attend but must do so between 8.30pm and 10.00pm and be under the age of 55. The rules are simple; the chicks are in complete control!
There are theme nights that take place to mark special holiday events so you should check the calendar in advance if you are thinking of attending.
The majority of guests are early 30s to late 40s with a range of backgrounds and body shapes/sizes. Some are what you might call swinging veterans, others… are experiencing it all for the first time.
On the whole the place is fun, friendly and non-confrontational with a charged atmosphere that is welcoming to all. Newcomers and first timers will find the Chateau Vino a great place to experience a warm Queensland welcome to the swinging scene.
The club has ten large play areas with each space being able to accommodate four couples of more. In addition, they also have a dedicated light bondage/BDSM room with a sex swing and large orgy room. There are plenty of indoor lounge areas as well as a covered outside space, including a separate area for smokers.
Condoms, lube and clean towels are available at no extra charge and there are plenty of bathrooms and showers to cater for the large crowds that the club plays host to.
There is a large dancefloor with a great sound system but no live music. It is intimately lit for discreet play.
The whole club is air-conditioned which encourages the shedding of as much of your street clothes as possible. Nudity in the public areas is not allowed except on Big Dress Down Party Nights. On which note, the dress code is smart and sexy.
There is also a pool table in addition to a fully staffed Bar. Alcohol is BYO but soft drinks and mixers are complimentary.
Opening Times at Chateau Vino
The club is open on Fridays from 8.30pm till 2.00am and Saturdays til 3.00am. The management team advise arriving before midnight to ensure you get the best value from your visit.
Bookings aren't necessary but single gents should call ahead on a Friday to guarantee entry.
The club is occasionally closed for private parties but entry to these can be arranged online by contacting the relevant party organiser.
Payment is via cash only as the club do not have any EFTPOS or card facilities on site.
Annual membership is available for couples and is paid once (not annually) at a rate of $40. Benefits include regular discounts on entry fees.
Please note: Prices are correct at the time of publication but may have changed since. Please check the website for the most up-to-date pricing.

The key thing to remember when creating your life of freedom is to keep your focus on the things that you DO WANT, and to stop focusing on the things that you DON'T WANT.
This is such a simple concept, but we tend to want to over complicate things, perhaps searching out a 'catch' to the simplicity. Once we grasp the simplicity of creating freedom in our lives, and of course, take action on it our lives start to transform.
Let's think about this in a practical, REAL sense; if you are doing things that you don't want to do, and giving your mind and your thoughts to the things you DON'T WANT, how can you possibly be creating the life that you DO want?!
WHATEVER you give your attention to, you get more of. So why not give your full attention to the good things, the positive things, the things that support you, your goals, your dreams and ambitions?
Don't fill your life with things that OTHER PEOPLE think you SHOULD do, or even what you think you 'should' do. With all the choices available to us, just choose to what you WANT to do over what you think 'should' do, every time. Don't fill your life with SHOULDS!
By giving your time, attention, energy, LIFE to the things you don't want, what's happening about the life you DO want? Well, it's sitting on the side-line of never-ever land as you go down a path in life that you don't even want to be on!
You MUST make room for the FREEDOM you want by focusing PURELY and only on your goals, and by having a single-minded vision on your goals.
Sometimes we are scared to step into an aligned life because our aligned lives are BIGGER and more REAL than how we are living at the moment. Can it be possible? I'm here to tell you it IS possible, but you must BELIEVE it's possible first of all. If you have doubts about it, then those doubts will be the truth, and life, you experience.
I refuse to do anything that doesn't serve my mission in life. If it's not aligned with my calling and my vision, then it ain't coming in!
I refuse to spend parts of my life doing things that don't serve me and raise up my life and the lives of others who I am here to help.
What good would it do you, or me, or anyone whose lives I change if I started to give my focus, time and energy to the things that don't serve my mission? Can you even imagine how that would go?!
Here are some of the things I've done to create my life of FREEDOM and these are things you can do to.
I've cut out the news. That's a life-changer right there. Please, please, please if you are still watching the news CUT IT OUT NOW. You can read more about all the benefits in this blog post. It's coming up to 3 years since I watched, listened to, or read the news. You are filling your mind, day-in and day-out with the WORST things that happen in the world, instead of the BEST things that happen in the world. Focus on what you want to see MORE of. Keep watching the news and you'll keep seeing MORE of the worst in the world. Then you are on a downward spiral; you have filled your brain, you've given it space in your mind, you've got upset and you haven't even taken any action to help the people you've watched suffering! Focus on the POSITIVE things that are going on in the world and you'll see MORE of the positive. Your choice. Which is it to be?
I've let go of people that aren't on the same path as me and who aren't a match for my mission; people who don't share my views or support my mission. On YOUR road to your success in whatever form that takes, you HAVE to surround yourself with people who are on the same journey as you. You ARE the average of the people you surround yourself with. Take a look around you. Are those people going to slow you down, or raise you UP? Find your pack, find your tribe, find YOUR group of people and even become the LEADER. I've chosen to own my place as a leader in helping people create the lives that they want.
People talk about 'work' and 'life'. I get it. I used to separate the two when I WASN'T doing the work that I am here to do. But I couldn't separate it ENOUGH and that spilled out in the form of depression into my WHOLE LIFE.
What you must get is WORK IS LIFE. There is no separation. It is how we spend out lives. Every day we are filling our lives with what we want, or what we don't want, and you can perhaps kid yourself that there is a 'work you' and a 'you outside of work' but you ain't fooling anyone. How we spend our time is how we live our lives.
Every day I want you to step into the alignment, and the life that you want, as much as you can that day. And the next day you make more room for what you want, and less room for the things you don't want.
Of course, big changes can happen immediately too! Change can happen in the split-second of your decisions. It's all within your power to decide and then to take action. Do not underestimate how powerful you are.
YOU CAN'T CREATE A LIFE THAT YOU WANT, BY DOING THINGS THAT YOU DON'T WANT.
Are you ready to step into YOUR ALIGNED LIFE of FREEDOM, doing what you LOVE, on your terms? Completely on your terms? Then stop spending your life waiting and START LIVING! Talk to me about how I can help you and get you on your road to FREEDOM!
