Caste Wars in Yucatán
Michele McArdle Stephens
The Caste Wars of the Yucatán tore apart the peninsula between 1847 and 1901. While the violence was not constant throughout the more than five decades between the start and conclusion of the war itself, the threat of rebel hostilities was ever present. Scholars have debated the origins of the war for many decades, with most recent academic treatments focusing on heavy tax burdens, poor working conditions for Yucatán's peasantry, and the loss of land that occurred during the second half of the century. Tensions between political leaders exacerbated relations with the Mayas in particular and the peasantry more generally. The emergence of the breakaway state of Chan Santa Cruz, in the southeastern part of Yucatán, allowed rebel forces to coalesce between 1850 and the early 1870s. Here, a "Speaking Cross" oracle gave direction to the rebellious Mayas, who crushed their enemies and exacted revenge against those who would not support their cause. The emergence of Porfirio Díaz as President of Mexico in 1876 led to a gradual "reconquest" of the areas held by the cruzob, or "people of the Cross." By 1901, the Mexican military ended the Caste Wars, though violent episodes still marred Yucatán until the early 1930s.
The Conjunction of the Lettered City and the Lettered Countryside in 19th-Century Mexico
William E. French
A persuasive literature has argued that the course of Latin American history from the arrival of Europeans to the present has been shaped to a large extent by a small but expanding group of literate bureaucrats, church officials, lawyers, and intellectuals, known as letrados, who made their lives in urban centers. Those marked by this combination of power, urban living, and the written word, an assemblage that Angel Rama has dubbed "the lettered city," utilized literature, history, the law, politics, and higher education to imagine the country into existence textually and to justify the hierarchies and inequalities that characterized their rule. Yet in Mexico, as elsewhere in Latin America, writing has a long history in nonelite settings, a venue that, in recognition of this fact, has now been referred to as "the lettered countryside." Moreover, as understandings of a single literacy are giving way to a concern with "literacies," defined in the plural and operating in relationship rather than opposed to such things as orality and visuality, traces of literacy practices are being discovered in many locations. Foregrounding the conjunction of the lettered city and the lettered countryside is an attempt to bring these venues into conversation while doing away with the binary that associates literary with the city and orality with the rural. Over the course of the 19th century in Mexico, although the written word was still pressed into the service of national imagining, a number of other characteristics shaped the conjunction of the lettered city and the lettered countryside. A struggle over secularization was one new development, as authority came increasingly to be invested in the written word itself rather than justified in religious terms. New forms of literacies emerged, especially those associated with the novel and other forms of publications, including newspapers, periodicals for and by women, and the penny press, creating new publics with distinct senses of themselves as communities of readers and listeners; oratory, public discussion of politics and other issues in various venues, and the phenomenon of indirect readers also brought together these two locations. As early as the 1840s, rural residents in some parts of the country had made writing their own, drafting political proclamations in which they defined such things as federalism in their own terms and asserted themselves in national politics. While elite diarists, both men and women, left traces of their emotional lives in various forms of life writing over the course of the entire period, ordinary people, including mine workers, agricultural laborers, and women who carried out household duties, wrote love letters to each other by the last third of the century, if not before. Composed and exchanged by means of cooperation, the use of intermediaries known as evangelistas, or by individuals with various degrees of facility in reading and writing, love letters served as privileged means of communicating the emotions they brought into being while often ending up as evidence in legal proceedings that continued to assert the prerogatives of the lettered city even as it came ever more intimately conjoined with the lettered countryside.
Digital Resources: The Hijuelas Collection
Matthew Butler and David A. Bliss
The Hijuelas project is a multi-domain international collaboration that makes available in digital form a large and valuable source on nineteenth-century indigenous history––the so-called libros de hijuelas or deed books recording the statewide privatization of indigenous lands in Michoacán, Mexico. These deed books, 194 in total, have been digitized and described over a two-year period by a team of History students from Michoacán's state university, the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás Hidalgo (UMSNH), trained by and working under the supervision of archivists of the Lozano Long Institute of Latin American Studies-Benson Latin American Collection of (LLILAS Benson) of the University of Texas at Austin. Additional logistical support has been provided by the Centro de Investigaciones y Estudios Superiores en Antropología Social (CIESAS) as a partner institution in Mexico of the University of Texas at Austin and by the state government of Michoacán via the Archivo General e Histórico del Poder Ejecutivo de Michoacán (AGHPEM), which is custodian of the hijuelas books. The project was generously funded by the British Library through its Endangered Archives Programme (EAP 931, "Conserving Indigenous Memories of Land Privatization in Mexico: Michoacán's Libros de Hijuelas, 1719–1929"). The project seeks to be innovative in two ways. As a post-custodial archiving project, first and foremost, it uses digital methods to make easily accessible to historians, anthropologists, and indigenous communities the only consolidated state-level record of the land privatizations (reparto de tierras) affecting Mexican indigenous communities in the 19th century. It therefore projects digitally a key source for historians and one that possesses clear identitarian and agrarian importance for indigenous communities. It also makes widely available a source that is becoming physically unstable and inaccessible because of the difficult public security conditions affecting Michoacán. As a collaboration involving diverse institutional actors, furthermore, the project brings together institutions from three different countries and is an example of what may be achieved through equitable international collaborations.
Excavation and Exhibition of the Pre-Hispanic Cultures during the Porfiriato
Christina Bueno
In the late 19th century, Mexico's ancient ruins captivated much of the world. European and American explorers trekked through what was often touted as an "American Egypt" in search of pre-Columbian artifacts to display in private collections and museums. Mexicans similarly hunted after the remains of the Indian past, as their country witnessed a heightened interest in the excavation and exhibition of ancient artifacts during the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz, the period commonly known as the Porfiriato (1876–1910). The Díaz regime embraced the indigenous past in order to present Mexico as a nation with ancient and prestigious roots. It took control of pre-Hispanic relics and ruins through archaeology, a discipline that was thought to give Mexico the coveted aura of a scientific, cosmopolitan, and modern nation. The Díaz regime gave unprecedented support to the National Museum in Mexico City, the nation's most important institution for the study and display of Indian antiquity. Museum scholars such as Francisco del Paso y Troncoso, Alfredo Chavero, and Antonio Peñafiel, worked on building and organizing the archaeology collection as the government intensified the process of accumulating artifacts in the capital. One of the central figures in this process was Leopoldo Batres, the head of the General Inspectorate of Archaeological Monuments of the Republic. Batres brought antiquities to the museum, helped organize the archaeology collection, and built the Gallery of Monoliths, the nation's premier showcase of pre-Columbian relics. He also carried out excavations at ruins throughout the country and reconstructed several archaeological sites, including Xochicalco and Mitla. His most famous (and most controversial) work took place at Teotihuacán, where he rebuilt the Pyramid of the Sun, turning Teotihuacán into the nation's first official archaeological site, a project made to coincide with the centennial celebration of Mexican independence in 1910.
José Guadalupe Posada and Visual Culture in Porfirian Mexico
Robert M. Buffington and Jesus Osciel Salazar
José Guadalupe Posada (b. Aguascalientes, February 2, 1852; d. Mexico City, January 20, 1913) was a prolific printmaker of exceptional technique, range, and originality. By the time of his death, his images had become a staple of Mexico City popular culture, appearing regularly in theatrical posters, advertisements, book illustrations, broadsides, and the penny press. Despite his popularity with impresarios, advertisers, publishers, editors, and readers, Posada received scant formal recognition during his lifetime. That changed in the 1920s with his "discovery" by prominent artists and art critics including internationally renowned muralists Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco. By the 1940s, exhibitions of his work had begun to appear in major galleries and museums in the United States and Europe, promoted as evidence of a unique visual aesthetic rooted in traditional Mexican culture and committed to exposing the long-standing oppression of the Mexican people at the hands of corrupt politicians, greedy bourgeoisie, cruel caciques (local party bosses), and foreign interlopers. Although scholars have disputed the genealogy and political nature of Posada's vision, the revolutionary nationalist interpretation of Rivera, Orozco, and others has provided inspiration and a sense of cultural legitimacy for succeeding generations of artists in Mexico and throughout the Mexican diaspora. Posada is best known for his striking calaveras, notably Calavera Catrina, a fashionable female skull with bows and a fancy hat; and La Calavera Oaxaqueña, a machete-wielding male skeleton dressed in a charro outfit. Published in conjunction with the annual celebrations for Day of the Dead (October 31–November 2) and accompanied by satiric verses, Posada's calaveras poke fun at the pretentions of the living in the face of their inevitable mortality.
Mountain and Forest Communities and Their Changing Landscapes in 19th-Century Mexico
Alejandro Tortolero Villaseñor
For several years, some of Mexico's most influential literary figures associated mountains with the presence of certain characteristics: wildlife, botanic variety, and most importantly, backwards and/or mysterious indigenous communities. Order and civilization, it seemed, for writers like Ignacio Altamirano and Manuel Payno, ceased to exist in mountainscapes. For these writes, mountains constituted social afterthoughts—places lacking history and dynamism, places that did not matter. They were, in Braudelian terms, the margins of civilization and factories that supplied human resources to cities. Such portrayals were not derived from reality, however. Far from solely being dull or dangerous sites where banditry and romantic indigeneity prevailed, Mexico's mountains were, between the colonial era and the Porfiriato, the places where dramatic transformations took place. Impresarios' mastery of Mexico's natural resources fueled the country's economic growth during the 19th and 20th centuries. Concomitant with this growth came dramatic alterations of the country's landscape that left much of Mexico's environment in disrepair. Mountains, thus, have histories. They are not landscapes where civilization parts ways with society. Such an argument has relevance in parts of the world like Latin America, where nearly half of the people who reside there live at elevations above sea level, and where only 7 percent reside under an elevation of 1,000 meters above sea level.
National History Museum, Chapultepec Castle
Salvador Rueda Smithers
As a monument and museum, Chapultepec Castle is today an emblem for Mexicans. It signified a double synthesis of memory: the building tells the history of the old Military College and the residence of Mexican rulers before the building became a museum. Its interior spaces, the objects of its collection, and the 20th-century murals recount and construct the shared history of Mexicans over the last 500 years.
Political Prefects: The Regional Political Bosses of Mexico
Romana Gloria Falcón Vega
During the formation of the Mexican nation, jefaturas políticas, or prefectures, as they will be called generically in this article, were basic institutions (1812–1917) for centralizing and organizing power and assuring governance. This was a vital task given the civil and international wars the country would endure. These powerful institutions were the mediators between the upper and lower political echelons and social classes. In the prefectures were vested an impressive range of diverse responsibilities—agrarian, fiscal, preserving order, military conscriptions, educational, medical and sanitary services, promoting the economy, elaborating statistics, mapmaking—which made modernization and administrative functionality very difficult. At the turn of the 20th century, this was an obstacle to the modernization and efficacy of the regime. Even though prefectures had responsibilities for all of Mexico, they also had an important degree of flexibility to attend to local needs. Therefore, laws and practices were adapted to the peculiarities of the different states, for example, regulating labor or conciliating rivalries that sprang from the application of liberal agrarian policies. Prefects governed specific political districts in which the states were divided and were generally appointed and removed freely by the governors as their personal representatives to enforce laws and policies and to control any opposition. They were remembered in popular imaginary, literary, and revolutionary historiography as brutal and corrupt functionaries loyal only to the upper classes and their clientelist networks. Contemporary studies have proved that these modalities—brutality and corruption—have a place in the prefect's box of tools, but new research has widened the historiographic perspective and showed how differently these functionaries could act. In fact, they used most of their energy trying to negotiate with the whole range of social classes and political factions. But their repressive character led to its elimination: they fought the revolution of 1910, and when they lost they were suppressed in 1917.
Rediscovering the Aztecs and Mayas: Field Exploration, Archaeological Exhibits, and National Museums
Kevin M. Gosner
In the last decades of the 18th century, with the visit in 1784 of José Antonio Calderón to the Maya ruins at Palenque and the discovery in 1790 of the statue of Coatlicue and the Stone of the Sun in the central plaza of Mexico City, the study of ancient Mexico entered a new era. In the century that followed, teams of field surveyors, mapmakers, graphic artists, and artifact collectors worked across central and southern Mexico as well as in Guatemala. Some were commissioned by the Spanish Crown or later by national governments; many arrived from England, France, Germany, and eventually the United States. Early on they worked side by side with geologists, geographers, and field biologists as part of natural history expeditions, accumulating collections of artifacts that would be displayed in curiosity cabinets and early museums alongside trays of colorful butterflies and stuffed tropical birds. And then, as foreign travel books won popular audiences in Europe and the United States, and as international investors arrived in Mexico and Central America, archaeology also was taken up by enthusiastic amateurs looking to sell books, build private collections, or organize international trade fairs. For serious students of ancient history, field exploration and advances in archaeological record-keeping transformed a body of research and scientific speculation that since the 16th century had been dominated by theologians, historians, and philologists, who studied Spanish chronicles and native language annals but paid scant attention to the remnants of material culture. In the process, Aztecs and Maya were rediscovered as historical subjects, their histories disconnected from that of contemporary Indian peasants and recast as rivals to the great civilizations of the Old World. Ruins of monumental architecture, recovered artifacts in sculptured stone or finely crafted metals, and ancient texts inscribed on wooden lintels and bark cloth were reclaimed as part of national patrimonies to be protected by new state agencies and displayed in modern museums. On January 20, 1911, the International School for American Archaeology and Ethnology formally opened in Mexico City, and this formative period in the archaeological study of ancient peoples ended. Manuel Gamio introduced the study of stratigraphy to fieldwork practices in Mexico and the discipline was transformed once again.


The Tyne Lifeboat Society established a station in 1790 with the lifeboat Original, the first in the world to be built, although in 1786 a coble converted into a boat for life-saving by Lionel Lukin, the London coachbuilder, was stationed at Bamburgh. It should also be noted that the Tynemouth Volunteer Life Brigade is very active in this area, specialising in rescues from the shore. Until 1905 when the RNLI number two lifeboat station closed several men were members of both organisations.
The Tyne Lifeboat Society remained independent of the Institution, but in 1862 the Institution established its own station at Tynemouth. The station was destroyed by enemy action in April 1941 but was re-opened six months later.
Tynemouth was the station at which the Institution placed its first experimental motor lifeboat in 1905 under the supervision of Lieut H E Burton RE, afterwards Major Burton, holder of the Institution's Gold (Rohilla service) and Silver Medals and the George Cross. He died in December 1944 and the Committee granted his widow a pension of £60 to be reviewed yearly.
Silver Medal awarded to Henry Strachan, a Pilot, for rescuing a crew of five on 1 December 1828. A tide surveyor and four men who had been upset in the River Tyne at Newcastle in a Custom House boat would certainly have perished had not Mr Strachan and his son gone to their assistance in a boat not exceeding 14ft long.
Silver Medal awarded to William Tully, a Pilot, for rescuing the Master and two seamen from the sloop Friendship wrecked off Spanish Battery, near Shields Harbour on 16 September 1830. Mr Tully with three other men tried to reach the casualty in a coble but it was impossible in the high seas, he landed from his boat and swam from rock to rock until he could throw a rope to the vessel which made it possible to save the Master and two seamen.
Silver Medal awarded to T Thorp, storekeeper of the rockets, for rescuing by Dennett's Rockets the Master and 10 seamen of the ship Progress that was stranded on 12 March 1839.
Silver Medal awarded to John Cunningham for rescuing by rocket line an apprentice from the Constantia that was wrecked at Tynemouth on 23 January 1843.
The Tyne Lifeboat Society lifeboat Providence capsized on 4 December whilst on service to the brig Betsy with the loss of 20 of her crew. They were Cox Launcelot Burn, John Bone, John Burn (Snr), John Burn (Jnr), John Donkin, Robert Donkin, John Marshall, Thomas Marshall, James Matson, John Phillips, Ralph Phillips, William Purvis, Ralph Shotton, William Smith, George Tindall, George Tinmouth, James Wright, John Wright, Henry Young and James Young.
Silver Medal awarded to William Wheeler, a Pilot. Whilst piloting the Danish brig Margaretta up the Thames Mr Wheeler saw two of her crew thrown into the river from the ship's boat. He immediately leaped over the vessel's bows and managed to save one of them. The Committee also took into consideration Wheeler's action in saving four of the crew of the brig Percy of Sunderland wrecked on the rocks close under Tynemouth Castle about three year before.
Lifeboat house constructed at a cost of £380.
Silver Medal awarded to Lawrence Byrne, a Coastguard, in recognition of his gallantry and perseverance when on 24 November 1864 the Schooner Friendship and the steamer Stanley found themselves in difficulties in gale force winds off Tynemouth Point. Both vessels were driven onto the rocks with waves breaking over them. Mr Byrne set up rocket apparatus on the shore and managed to establish contact with the steamer and saved 38 people. In a simultaneous attempt by the lifeboat Constance, four of her crew were washed out and two, James Grant and Edmund Robson, were drowned. Committee of Management voted £100 to Local Fund.
Slipway of No 2 station carried away by a stranded vessel in a gale.
On 17 December 1872 members of the TVLB and coastguards were attempting to rescue the crew of the barque Consul which was attempting to enter the Tyne in severe weather. The barque struck a pier and within 15 minutes was reduced to matchwood. The rescuers on the pier managed to save some of her crew, but during the attempt it was believed that one rescuer had been washed away by the sea. A subsequent search found the body of Robert Thirlway Arkley. Mr Arkley, a customs officer, was not only a member of the TVLB but also an RNLI crew member.
On 18 December 1872, the independent lifeboat society's lifeboat Northumberland, was struck by a large wave whilst attempting to reach the brig Gleaner which was in distress on the bar in severe weather. James Watson and John Wheatley were two of the seven lifeboat crew who ended up in the water, but were unfortunately washed away and drowned. Their five companions were safely recovered.
No 1 slipway extended and rocks levelled at No 2 station at a cost of £425.
Silver Medal awarded to Coxswain James Gilbert in recognition of his long and valuable service.
Gas and water laid on to No 1 lifeboat house.
Slipway widened and lengthened at a cost of £116.
Silver Second-Service Clasp awarded to James Gilbert on his retirement as coxswain.
No 2 station closed. Experimental motor lifeboat sent for trials.
Silver Medals awarded to Captain H E Burton, Coxswain Robert Smith (and Coxswain Anthony Nixon, Cambois lifeboat) for the part they played in rescuing the crew of the Dunelm, wrecked off Blyth on 11 January 1913. The Blyth lifeboat was unable to get out of the harbour. The Tynemouth lifeboat arrived just as the last man was being rescued by the rocket apparatus. Gold Medals and watches presented to each member of the crew on behalf of the public in the locality.
Gold Medals to Captain H E Burton and Coxswain Robert Smith, and Silver Medals to Second Coxswain James Brownlee and Lt Basil Hall, Lifeboat Inspector, for rescuing the last 50 survivors from the hospital ship Rohilla that at 4am in a terrific east-south-easterly gale ran on to a dangerous reef at Saltwick Nab on 31 October/1 November. The lifeboat battled 45 miles down an unlit coast against the gale and took nine hours to reach the wreck near Whitby.
When the Institution's Medals, two Gold and two Silver for the Rohilla service were presented, the Tynemouth Trust gave special Gold Medals to all 12 in the lifeboat on this occasion.
Silver Second-Service clasps awarded to Coxswain Robert Smith and Second Coxswain James Brownlee for the rescue of 16 people, in a dangerous operation, from the s.s. Muristan on 21 November after she ran ashore on 19 November 1916.
Major Burton awarded the American Cross of Honour for services and good seamanship, and of taking charge of the lifeboat when the Rohilla was wrecked on 31 October 1914.
HM King of Norway awarded a Silver Cup to the coxswain and Silver Medals to the crew in recognition for rescuing the crew and passengers (118) from the Norwegian s.s. Bessheim on 19 November 1916. Medals were also awarded to the crew of the private lifeboat Tom Perry.
Old lifeboat house at Priors Haven sold to Tynemouth Sailing Club for £130.
Estimated cost of constructing a trolley way and adapting lifeboat house - £5,100.
Bronze Medal awarded to Ordinary Seaman Michael Campbell RNVR, in recognition of his gallant conduct in plunging into the river and at great personal risk rescued a man who had been thrown into the water when his boat had capsized near the coble landing on 8 August 1926.
Bronze Medals awarded to Edward Selby Davidson, Honorary Secretary of the Tynemouth Branch, and to Coxswain George Lisle in recognition of their gallant conduct in the rescue in two trips of 22 of the crew of the Norwegian motor vessel Oslo Fjord which was ashore south of the Tyne in a strong north-north-easterly wind with a very heavy swell on 8 December 1940.
The lifeboat station was destroyed by enemy action in April but was re-opened six months later.
The Morley Medal of the Outward Bound Trust was awarded to crewman Kenneth Smith.
Robert Rutherford, a member of the lifeboat crew and also a Police Constable, awarded the Royal Humane Society's Testimonial on Parchment for the part he played in rescuing an elderly man from the icy waters of the Tyne at North Shields in January.
On 16 September the Duchess of Northumberland unveiled a stained glass window in the Seamen's Chapel of Christ Church, North Shields, to commemorate the Centenary of the Tynemouth lifeboat station. The window, which was given by the coxswain and crew, incorporated a picture of the lifeboat named Original which was built on Tyneside and was the world's first boat to be designed from the outset as a lifeboat.
On 22 September the Duke of Northumberland, the Institution's Treasurer, presented to the station a certificate on Vellum to commemorate the centenary.
Bronze Medals to crew members Trevor Fryer and Frederick Arkley in recognition of the courage and determination displayed by them when the inshore lifeboat rescued the crew of three and a boy from the tug Northsider which had been driven onto the Black Midden Rocks in a strong easterly wind and a rough sea on 10 March 1974.
The new Arun Class lifeboat ON1061 George and Olive Turner was placed on service and named in June by the Duchess of Northumberland.

MSSU Criminal Justice Auditorium gets makeover
by: Stuart Price
JOPLIN, Mo. — An auditorium on the campus of an area university has received a makeover.
The inside of the Criminal Justice Auditorium on the MSSU campus hasn't changed much in several decades.
But that changed over the holiday break, and Dr. Tim Wilson says much of the $20,000 price tag came from an anonymous donor.
He says the purpose for the project was to modernize the facility on the inside so it can get more use by his department as well as others on campus.
Dr. Tim Wilson, MSSU Criminal Justice Department Head, said "In essence what we did was we replaced all the carpet, we added new paint, we replaced some of the acoustic panels to match the color scheme that we went with and then we came up with a new sign for behind the podium."
He hopes to modernize the entry way into the auditorium in the future and is working on bringing more events to the facility.
He says the MSSU football team now uses the space for its meetings.

DAKHLA, Western Sahara (AP) — Beneath a star-packed sky in the Sahara, smugglers and handymen unearth a boat buried in the sand, a made-to-order vessel for carrying migrants from the North African coast to Spain's Canary Islands.
With seasoned skill, the men hoist the blue-bottomed wooden boat atop a four-wheel drive vehicle that will take it from this inland hideaway to the Western Sahara shore. From there, the boat is meant to take 20 to 30 migrants into the Atlantic Ocean and across what the European Union's border agency calls "the most dangerous migratory route in the world."

After following the Scarsdale Medical Diet (SMD) for a little while, I discovered a way to make this diet even easier to follow. Most of the food in this diet (especially for the breakfasts and the lunches) require very little preparation, so you can put them together in minutes right before you leave for work.
Even though the original diet recommends 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off, I actually stay on this diet indefinitely now. It's quite similar to the "Keep Trim" diet because I've added a few things that weren't "kosher" with the SMD.
While on this diet, I still cheat quite a bit—a lite beer here, or a trip to Wendy's there. With these dalliances, I feel that I get plenty of calories, carbs, and fat. When following the diet, my calorie intake is low enough that I don't feel stressed or guilty when I do eat that late-night snack, go out to eat with friends, eat office treats, or attend a Christmas party. Even with some minor straying, I still see weight loss results. It's not as fast or extreme as the SMD, but it's consistent and sustainable.
Since this is a bit long, here's a table of contents for your convenience.
For more information about this diet, I recommend reading the original article I wrote. It goes into more detail about what's allowed, and what's not allowed. It also explains how the diet works mechanically—especially regarding ketosis (extra incentive to stick with it!).
The new and improved diet goes like this: download, print, and cut apart these cards I designed. The cards are divided three into three categories: Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
Each card is numbered in the order that you follow it. On the first day that you start this, you eat Breakfast #1, Lunch #1, and Dinner #1. There are not an even number of cards in each category, so at some point the menu will stagger itself up. That is normal.
The cards are meant to be left out in three little piles on the fridge or the counter top. When you wake up in the morning and start getting ready for work, you just flip to the next card and start packing your breakfast and lunch. It usually only takes 5-10 minutes!
If you have leftovers from the previous night's dinner, pack that in your lunch instead of that day's card.
If you flip to a card that you don't have all the ingredients for, flip again till you get one that does. If you flip through all of them, it's time to head to the store!
Finally, when you arrive home from work in the evening, it won't take you very long to make dinner. While the dinners do need more preparation than the breakfasts and lunches, the ingredient lists are simple, and the instructions are easy to follow. Some of the cards will indicate what is for dinner the next day, so that you can take that meat out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge.
Regarding beverages: I usually drink one very large cup of coffee with cream in the morning as my breakfast, and the breakfast food will follow an hour or two later. I also drink a lot of tea, sparkling water, and regular water with all of my meals.
Regarding in-between meal snacks: see the original diet for more detail, but I usually eat carrots, celery, or have some hot water with bouillon.
Each day is somewhere between 700-800 calories. If this doesn't seem like enough, remember that I am quite short and rather sedentary. If you are a man, or taller, you will need more calories than this! So adjust the recipes as needed.
When you get bored of this menu, spice things up a bit by choosing a recipe from my "Scarsdale Approved" board on Pinterest!
Here is a list of items to buy the before you begin. I usually head to the store once a week to pick up any items that I no longer have at home. I freeze all the meat, and the use the older fruits and veggies first before consuming newly purchased ones. I did try to keep the list simple, but I included everything so that you can prevent extra trips to the store for missing ingredients.
5-8 of any random fruit (avoid bananas, too starchy and sweet) grapefruits, mango, grapes, pears, strawberries, peaches, cherries etc.
In a small mixing bowl break up the chicken with a fork. Toss with the celery, onion, and parsley. Add the mustard and season with pepper, to taste. Stir to combine. Add lemon juice, to taste, if using. If you want to change things up a bit, use Frank's Red Hot instead of mustard.
Combine all dry ingredient in a small bowl.
Per 1 pound of meat, add 1 heaping Tablespoon of dry mix, plus 1 Tablespoon of soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce.
Store dry mix in a airtight container for up to 3 months.
Line a baking sheet with foil. Set an oven-safe rack on the foil. You should have at least an inch of air space between the rack and pan for circulation.
Set the oven shelf to the upper third of the oven.
Form into four ¼ pound patties.
Wrap three patties in wax paper and put in freezer for later.
Chop up zucchini for this meal, and season to taste (no oil).
Set the burger on the rack, and place zucchini around on the pan, and place the pan with rack in the oven.
Bake for ten to twelve minutes or until done as you like them. You may need to remove the meat and let the veggies cook a bit longer.
Brine: Bring 1 cup of the water to a boil, add the salt and optional flavorings, and stir to dissolve the salt. Add 2 more cups of cold water to bring the temperature of the brine down to room temperature. Place the pork chops in a shallow dish and pour the brine over top. The brine should cover the chops — if not, add more water and salt (1 cup water to 1 tablespoon salt). Cover the dish and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Heat the oven and skillet: Rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat to 400°F. Place the skillet in the oven.
Remove chops from brine. Pat dry with paper towels.
Season the pork chops: Poke the chops a bit with a fork and pour a little soy sauce on. Poke some more until the sauce soaks in a little. Season with salt and pepper.
Pat one side of the chop dry and put a 1/2 teaspoon of oil on one side of the chops for the searing step.
While you're waiting for the oven to preheat, prepare your asparagus by snapping the ends off, cutting to preferred size and place in a glass baking dish. Season to taste with salt, lemon juice, lemon zest, and pepper.
Remove the skillet from the oven: Using oven mitts, remove the skillet from the oven. Set it over medium-high heat on the stovetop. Turn on a vent fan or open a window.
Sear the pork chops: Lay the pork chops in the hot skillet. Sear until golden, 3 minutes. Turn down the heat if smoke becomes excessive.
Flip the chops and transfer to the oven: Transfer the skillet using oven mitts!
Put asparagus into oven. When you check on the meat, stir the asparagus a bit to roast all sides. These will take about 20 minutes to roast. Pull them out when they're done and set aside until the meat is ready.
Roast the chops until cooked through: They should register 140°F to 145°F in the thickest part of the meat with an instant-read thermometer. Cooking time will be 6 to 10 minutes depending on the thickness of the chops, how cool they were at the start of cooking, and if you brined them. Start checking the chops at 6 minutes. Continue checking every minute or two until the chops are cooked through.
Turn your leftovers into an asian stir fry! Another idea you can use to change up this dish: Taco Seasoning with a garnish of plain yogurt.
Slice up onion, red pepper, and meat.
Season with soy sauce, schezuan sauce and a dollop of peanut butter.
Take steak out of fridge. Poke both sides a bit with a fork. Season with salt, pepper, and soy sauce.
Put oven-safe pan on medium-high heat, and allow it to heat up.
While you're waiting for everything to heat up, prepare brussels sprouts. Cut the tough ends off and put in a microwave-safe bowl with a little bit of water in the bottom.
When the oven and pan is ready, sear the steak, 2-3 minutes on both sides. Sear close to the final color you want.
Transfer pan to the preheated oven.
Put brussels sprouts in microwave and cook for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, use oven mitts to take the pan out. Check the temperature. 145 is medium-rare, 150 is medium. Put back into the oven and allow to cook to your preference.
Put chicken in an 8×8 glass pan and season both sides with pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and Franks Red Hot.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Flip chicken and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more.
Cut each piece of chicken in half.
Eat half of one piece with celery sticks.
Cut florets off head and halve the bigger pieces so they are all roughly the same size. Place in a large mixing bowl.
Bonus tip: the "heart" of the broccoli stalk is very tender and tasty, but it takes a bit of work to get it out. Once you've cut all the florets off, trim about half an inch off the bottom of the stem. Use a knife to cut off the "knots" of the "tree". The skin around base of the stem is thicker and you can use a knife to cut some of that off too. Once you get this far, use a vegetable peeler to "plane off" the rest of the tough green skin. You'll know you're at the heart because it's a lighter green, almost white. Put some seasoning salt on it and crunch away. If you feel any "fibers" at all, you haven't quite peeled all the tough stuff off. It should have almost the same consistency as a firm honeydew melon.
In a small bowl whisk the olive oil, Parmesan Cheese, malt vinegar, garlic, pepper, and salt. Experiment with trying to go without the oil if you can.
Use a basting brush to lightly paint the broccoli, turning as you go to cover all sides. If you don't need to use all the oil mixture to cover the broccoli, then set it aside.
Evenly distribute broccoli across cookie sheet.
Bake for 8 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
In summary, I modified my original diet because it was just a little TOO extreme. That said, I still think that it would be useful for you to try out the SMD in the first round simply because it is very effective at resetting your taste-buds, and shrinking your stomach a bit. This modified diet made it a lot quicker for me to prep meals in the morning because I hated having to flip back and forth between printed pages or click around on the article to find my place. I hope you find it easy too! Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.
That's pretty much it! I hope this diet can be a tool that help you on your upward path to health!

Takumi Minamino may soon dress the Liverpool jersey
In a few days time the winter transfer will get ahead. And even before the window has started, Liverpool have already shortlisted their prospect. Liverpool's potential new signing is the Japanese forward Takumi Minamino who presently plays for Red Bull Salzburg.
The 24-year-old grabbed the attention of Liverpool board in Salzburg's 4-3 loss to Liverpool in a thrilling Champions League encounter. I still remember the goal that he had scored after mystifying Virgil Van Dijk and scoring one past him.
Minamino is a cheap buy and a deal could mean a great bargain by Liverpool. The Japanese winger has a release clause of only £ 7.25 million and the Reds are set to seal the deal. Former Liverpool icon Nicol has revealed that signing Minamino will not be a gamble.
"If it is £7.25million that they're paying for him, it's not even a gamble," he said. "When you look at the money teams are spending on players at the moment, it's not even a gamble. The truth is, this guy is a huge prospect."
"He's 24, but I hadn't heard of him before Liverpool played against him, then all of a sudden you're standing on the edge of your seat taking notice of a player who wasn't overawed, he couldn't wait to get stuck into Liverpool.
"If this goes through, it'll be a great signing. Again, young players who cost a lot of money, you've got the likes of Mane, Salah, look at the amount they've spent on them and in terms of all the crazy transfers, this is a fantastic bit of business."
The youngster has gotten calls from Borussia Dortmund too but his liking for Premier League give Liverpool the edge. In a recent win against Celtic, Minamino said: "I'd love to play there,' he said when pressed on a potential switch to the Premier League after his impressive display at Celtic Park.
"It's one of the leagues that I've watched ever since I was a child and it's the league where all the top players play.
"The way Celtic played, the supporters, the stadium and the atmosphere was pretty similar to the Premier League. It was such a good experience for me."
If Minamino does sign for Liverpool, he will only be the second known Asian player after Heung-Min Son at present to join one of the big 6 club of Premier League.

The New York City Council has officially approved a new bill that will change the maximum driving speeds on New York's streets for the first time in 50 years. Once the change occurs, NYC drivers will have to take extra caution on the unmarked streets of the city.
When the law goes into effect on November 7, 2014, the maximum speed for cars, trucks and taxis driving on residential stress will be reduced from 30 miles per hour to 25 mph. However, New York City residents should not expect a new fleet of signs warning drivers about the change: Signs will continue to indicate other limits for specific streets and should be obeyed. The new regulations will apply to any streets that are unmarked. New signs announced the broad change would only appear at points of entry into the city…and most likely receipts from parking meters, which will be used to spread the message.
The bill is part of an ongoing effort adopted by Mayor Bill de Blasio called "Vision Zero," which was started to help increase traffic safety in Sweden and has been used as the inspiration for new laws in NYC ever since traffic fatalities saw a spike in negative publicity in 2013. New York has been seeing similar changes in other areas, as well. Last summer, state lawmakers decided to repeal a decades-old law that required all speed limits to be at least 30 miles per hour, laying the groundwork for the Vision Zero change. The changes have already helped reverse negative traffic trends in the city: According to the NYC Transportation Department, pedestrian deaths have fallen by 25 in 2014 compared to this time in 2013.
The new driving laws are being met with responses from organizations around the city. For example, in order to help increase awareness and encourage drivers to follow the new laws, the Taxi and Limousine Commission is making an effort to notify all cabdrivers about the new laws and what penalties can be expected for violations.
However, some organizations do not think that the new laws go far enough in preventing traffic accidents. Notably, the Transportation Alternatives group has been lobbying for even lower, 20 mph limits within the city. While the group was pleased to see the current changes, it admitted worries that these new regulations would depend largely on the ability of the New York City Police Department and related agencies to enforce the new rules. "The safety benefits of this new speed limit will be very much dependent on the willingness of the NYPD to enforce it," commented Paul Steely White, the executive director of Transportation Alternatives.
The Police Department has already taken steps to focus more on traffic regulations and violations. Traffic tickets issued in 2014 currently number 86,576, a total increase of 35 percent from 2013 and a sign that the NYPD will be taking future violations even more seriously.
The NYPD could receive help from future developments. If Vision Zero continues in its success, it may address other traffic issues in the city. The entire 42-page plan seeks to prevent all traffic deaths through widespread changes. In addition to supporting greater activity from the NYPD, Vision Zero also encourages the city to embrace modern solutions to traffic problems. Future developments could lead to wider parking lines and more advanced, automated taxicab systems that created fines when a taxi goes beyond the required speed limit. New York City residents can also expect other technology to enforce traffic laws, including new speed-tracking cameras.
Interestingly, it could be tourists who see some of the greatest impact from the changes. The taxi-oriented culture of New York City is frequently associated with harrowing rides through Manhattan and other regions. If the laws are successful, this image of NYC – and the related experiences of tourists – could soften significantly, creating a new, friendlier New York brand.

A few weeks ago Marc Wolterink from SRP, the leading online resource for the global structured products community interviewed our co-owner Kees de Koning. Their lengthy and lively conversation lead to not one but two articles published on SRP. Last week we've published part I of their interview, previously published here. Today we're pleased to present you part II, previously published here.
In the second part of our profile on VI Company – the Rotterdam based fintech firm which has developed a market data platform for Boerse Stuttgart Cats, a trading platform for Berne Exchange (BX), website portals for ING and Think ETF and an online trading game for RTLZ , amongst others – co-owner and founder Kees de Koning talks to SRP about the use of alternative asset classes as underlying for structured products, peer-to-peer (P2P) lending, the impact of regulation, generation Y and the company's plans for 2016.
Together with HJCO Capital Partners (HJCO), an investment firm for active and alternative investments, VI Company is currently in the process of issuing a note which is linked to a portfolio of P2P loans which originate in the US. "Traditionally investors have always been looking at bonds, equities, commodities, currencies – the traditional asset classes – however, due to the low interest rates people are increasingly looking at alternatives," says De Koning. "P2P lending for example is something we are very active in right now." P2P matches lenders directly with borrowers through online services, such as Prosper, a US company with more than two million members and over US$6bn in funded loans.
Are Dutch investors ready for P2P linked notes? Absolutely not because it is completely new—It starts with education. That is of course with the traditional structured products also the case but with P2P we really need to invest in education.
"On the one hand P2P collects money from individuals or businesses who want to achieve yield and on the other hand there are the potential borrowers who are classified by risk category and then you have the investor who says: I want to invest €10,000 in A-loans," says De Koning. "A is low risk so you will only get 4 to 5% return. But no bank gets involved in this process. This happens in the US, in the UK and also in Europe we now start seeing the first platforms. It's becoming very popular." The HJCO note will get a listing at the exchange, according to De Koning. "There is liquidity. In future a retail investor can enter the ISIN in his account and thus invest in P2P loans in America which have been verified by the Prosper website in the US. I think that's the future. An alternative way of achieving yield," says De Koning.
Scenario one is adoption by the established players. Financial institutions adopt innovation and relatively little will change to the structure of the financial sector – We are definitely part of scenario one, adoption by the established players. We help the established players by putting in the market those initiatives or by improving existing initiatives, because that's also possible.
Like many other firms, VI Company's business model is impacted by regulation – both on a national and a European level. "Yes absolutely, 100%," says De Koning. "We have a lot to do with Priips/Kid, which will be implemented at the end of the year," he says. To prepare for Priips/Kid many parties have started to create standard products, according to De Koning. "I think (over) regulation can be a threat to our industry. Some parties quit because of that. They say there are so many costs involved, there is so much regulation, I no longer want to be a part of this anymore," he says.
On a local level, following an investigation by the Dutch regulator Authority for the Financial Markets (Autoriteit Financiële Markten – AFM) in 2013, issuers of leverage products in the Netherlands agreed to no longer issue turbos with a high leverage factor. Earlier this year those same providers announced that they are preparing to deploy a new measure which limits the leverage of turbos to a maximum of 50. Leverage products will get a bid-only status if the buffer between the price of the underlying and the financing level becomes smaller than or equal to 2%, which means investors can still sell these products but are no longer able to buy them.
Our clients are happy with us. We don't just work for profit. Of course it is important that the company is healthy but the work should be fun too. Work must be good, it must be fun and you must be proud of what you deliver to the client.
The year 2016 is going to be a turning point for VI Company, according to De Koning. "I think that this year, for the first time more revenue will come from abroad than from the Netherlands," he says. "We really are a niche market. We are in the financial market, asset management, structured notes, distributors and trading venues. That is a relatively small world of course so you end up going abroad, beyond the Dutch borders, very quickly," he says. "Our clients are happy with us. We don't just work for profit. Of course it is important that the company is healthy but the work should be fun too," De Koning adds.
The firm is currently working with a number of market makers to build a monitor for statistics were market makers can monitor the quality of trading or determine their market share, says De Koning. "It is pretty easy to calculate a market share in the regulated market but in the OTC market it can be quite difficult. We are now working on a minimum viable product (MVP) to set this up together with a number of issuers.

Many organizations increasingly rely on tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices that enable their employees to do their jobs anywhere at any time. However, with this increased freedom comes increased risk. Devices may be lost or stolen, but the more important concern is the corporate data that resides on or is accessed from mobile devices. This may be proprietary information about the company's products or offerings, or it may be sensitive client data.

Chinese Start-Up Gives Children Virtual Museum Tours
As of August 2017, children from over 180,000 Chinese households are attending virtual museum tours. They are two-hour daily broadcasts that combine animations and Chinese presenters' recent trips to museums, along with live commentary from Chinese academics in a Shanghai studio.
The families pay the Aha School – a Shanghai based educational start-up that produces the shows – the equivalent of $2.85 to watch. The company donates the broadcast feed to 174 rural classrooms as a public service. It is being distributed through CCtalk, a Chinese app that specializes in live-streaming for educational purposes.
Dr. Jian Lu, partner of Hujiang EdTech and CEO of CCtalk, in an interview with Cision PR Newsletter says "our platform has a huge database…it can be used to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of online teaching by each teacher. What's more, we are now working on a learning index for each student, which will help them make better study plans."
The founder of Aha School, Wang Yuhao, said his inspiration for the virtual museum tours and the school itself was his son Pipi. Yuhao remembers a conversation he had with Pipi when he was only eight or nine years old, where Pipi said that his "…dream is to transcend space and time, and to see the origins of life." When Yuhao took Pipi to Paris in 2012 to see paintings in the Louvre, he saw his son run back and forth between paintings to piece together their history and historical importance, and was inspired.
The Aha School is now a virtual academy that offers 400 courses and has 15 guidance counselors to provide on-demand educational service for over 10,000 families in Shanghai.
Yuhao says that most Chinese parents have begun to realize that traditional classroom learning is not enough, but that it is also necessary to introduce children to liberal arts in order for them to be well-rounded and successful.
Ma Xiaoyan, a teacher at the Akeli Center School in a rural area of the province of Sichuan, has said in an interview with the New York Times, "The children don't have access to any museums, let alone famous ones…for many of them, even going to the closest town is difficult because their families don't have money for travel."
Educational experts in China state that programs such as Yuhao's also call attention to systemic inequities between rural and urban areas in China's education system. While virtual programs are not a solution to the educational divide, proliferation of programs such as 100,000 Kids Touring the World's Top 10 Museums can at the very least highlight the divide and urge officials to make larger changes.

What's Up Doc?: A second wave could come later this year, or not
By Medicine Hat News Opinion on May 12, 2020.
"Epidemics are like fires. When fuel is plentiful, they rage uncontrollably, and when it is scarce, they smolder slowly." – Justin Lessler, an associate professor of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins University, wrote in the Washington Post in March.
The problem is we do not know how much fuel COVID-19 virus is left with.
This question has been bothering me. So, I went on the Internet and did my research. Here is the summary of what I learned.
Pandemics are caused by new bugs that the vast majority of humans have no immune protection against. That is what allows them to become global outbreaks.
Let us define what is meant by second wave. Second wave occurs when new cases emerge after a sustained period of time when there is no infection or very few infections.
Is a second wave of COVID-19 pandemic imminent? Experts believe it is quite possible but they cannot be sure.
The new virus has spread around the world and is expected to recede. A few months later, it will come back and spread around the world, or large parts of it, again.
While second waves and secondary peaks within the period of a pandemic are technically different, the concern is essentially the same: the disease comes back in force.
It is expected the second wave could emerge later this year and make for an even more dire health crisis. This is because the virus would have been contained, not treated.
The pandemic will resurface with renewed strength, causing a repeat of rising infections, swamped health systems and the necessity of lockdowns. Experts believe a second surge will be harder to contain. A second wave, could be in October, would require more extensive restrictions than were initially imposed.
If the COVID-19 virus mutates, just like the flu virus which mutates constantly, there will be a constant battle each year to find appropriate vaccine.
Experts have suggested that the key to keeping infections low without locking down everyone is to scale up testing and contact tracing.
Health authorities need to find infected people, isolate them, and identify their recent contacts, so they can be tested as well and isolated if necessary. Eventually, it is possible that enough people will become exposed to the coronavirus that herd immunity will develop and it will stop spreading, or that a vaccine against it will be licensed.
Herd immunity is also called community immunity and herd or group protection. Herd immunity happens when so many people in a community become immune to an infectious disease that it stops the disease from spreading.
Dr. Gregory Poland, a Mayo Clinic COVID-19 expert, offers his insight on the effect of a potential second wave of COVID-19 this coming fall in the U.S. (Mayo Clinic website):
1. When you think about COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S., it started in mid to late February, so we were in fact past our influenza epidemic. It's unlikely that will happen this fall. Rather, we will have, in an overlapping fashion, influenza epidemics and COVID-19 recurrence occurring.
2. One problem with that potential scenario, he says, is that the symptoms of the flu and COVID-19 overlap nearly exactly.
3. The second concern is the tremendous surge in demand on the medical system.
4. The third concern will be the anxiety around that. Do we really close everything down again and do what we've just been through over the last several months?
What's really going to be key is to encourage everybody six months of age and older, which is the national recommendation, to get a flu vaccine and in this case to get it as early as it's available – not wait until December and January.
We should be prepared to face the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic this fall and winter. We should get a flu vaccine as soon as it is available and NOT wait until December or January. And take all the precautions which are well known by now. Be safe and take care.

36 Hours in Kitsbow: Wheels and Weddings
November 30, 2018 / Tyler Siems
Recently Tyler and good friend of the shop Taylor Weichman had the opportunity to work with Kitsbow Clothing to make a video documenting a series of adventures culminating in a wet and muddy ride to our Service Manager Austin's wedding. Seth Wood wrote up a beautiful piece documenting the adventure which didn't make the cut on Kitsbow's post, so we decided to post it here in it's entirety. Special thanks to Anthony Croff, Tessa Burris, Trey Nixon and Mark Siems for all of their help putting this thing together.
By Seth Wood
Not every ride goes according to plan. With the right company, it doesn't matter. For better or for worse, for richer and for poorer, all that jazz…
The stars of this ride report are its people or the bonds between them. A wedding occasioned the ride. It came together as a side effect of a reunion among certain too long parted friends. The other player in this narrative is the setting: the red dirt roads of Oklahoma – a rugged and hilly expanse surrounding the small, big college town of Stillwater, and the ever changeable weather of the American Prairie. The opportunity to share a ride in video form featuring our little corner of the world inspired a modest vision: after closing down the local bike shop, we'd ride to the nearby bikepacking haven, Keith's Bike Fort, and hopefully get moving early enough the next day to make a detour from our ride back to Stillwater to hit some single-track at Lake McMurtry Park. This last idea represented the first of several deviations from the original plan: heavy rains the previous week had caused the wedding site to be moved from Lake McMurtry to Downtown Stillwater, so the trail-riding (the trail riding that ultimately never happened) was a bit more out of our way than initially designed.
We thought we had time to sneak in all this riding before the wedding, but we weren't fussed. The twelve-mile ride to Keith's Bike Fort in Perkins, OK, carries you along one of the main gravel thoroughfares of Payne County. South Washington St. connects small pockets of residential dwellings, abandoned and derelict ranch infrastructure, oil and gas extraction sites and storage wells, and one white-paneled church. Riding due south from Stillwater toward the Bike Fort on Washington carries you over sets of short, punchy climbs we call "rollers," but the virtue of the route is its accessibility. It was the road my son and I slowly pedaled over during his first bikepacking trip at the age of 8. About every other road that intersects with Washington can carry you westward toward some of the best climbing and most scenic vistas mid-south gravel has to offer. On that ride with my son I would point down the gnarliest roads to show him what we were building to. On this particular night, our crew bee-lined to the Bike Fort, having taken more time to close down the shop than we'd hoped, stopping at intervals to capture video and photos in the failing light along the way. It was dark by the time we arrived at the Bike Fort. Friends had driven out to hang, and they greeted us with pizza dinner, a fire, and s'mores. Bike Fort magic held sway until everyone was asleep. Since he had journeyed farthest to be there, Taylor claimed the coveted double bed suspended from the tin roof of the Bike Fort patio; every other rider took to a bivy, tent, or (ahem) VW Westfalia Camper van.
Perkins resident Keith Reed began construction on his Bike Fort several years ago after accomplishing a cross-country ride utilizing the Warm Showers hospitality exchange for touring cyclists. Keith wanted to build a stopover for bike tourers passing through north central Oklahoma, dozens of whom have left notes of thanks in the Bike Fort visitor's book. Today, the place has evolved beyond its original design to serve as gathering place and unofficial community center for local bike lovers. Keith installed an aboveground pool there to help get us through the hot, summer months; we hosted a kid's birthday party there and projected Pee Wee's Big Adventure on a white sheet hanging from the porch so we could enjoy a movie under the stars (until it rained); we've had pot lucks there to say goodbye to friends who moved away and to greet newcomers to town. There's the beginning of a pump track emerging out of the earth in the backyard. Keith's latest pet project is a gazebo housing seating for ten and a fire pit that vents through a ceiling of grapevine and coffee bean bags, and Keith constructed it without anyone's help. Because he's Keith. And his Bike Fort is pure magic.
Our overnighter in Perkins prior to Sally and Austin's wedding delivered all the fun we have come to expect from the Bike Fort. There was a perfectly cooked marshmallow or ten. There was an endless pile of wood. There was rib-cracking laughter around the fire. Later, after we finally bedded down, it poured. The night was so mild and peaceful I had fallen asleep with my bag and bivy gathered around my chest, and I woke up to a face full of rain. I sealed myself into the bivy easily enough before the water started falling with such force that I could feel droplets shattering into smaller bits through the Cuben Fiber. I unzipped, carried my sleep kit into the Bike Fort, and got another couple hours of shut eye curled up next to the wood burning stove before racing the sun to get myself to work on time. In the morning, the rain abated long enough to let the folks who stayed at camp make coffee in the open air, but it came and went at intervals throughout the day. Trail riding, we knew, was out, but that didn't stop a soggy ride out to the lake for those who weren't needed at work or at the wedding.
I mean, what's the point of owning posh gear if you never test it? But, really, we're just good friends looking for good times on bikes. In Oklahoma you learn to make a lot out of a little. The remains of a cyclocross course in the park downtown, a flask half-full of whatever, a rain jacket, some puddles, and a handful of free hours can make a year's worth of memories. Like how an emptied coffee shop can be a last-minute backdrop to the most special of moments if it's filled up again with the right mixture of souls. Turns out that the unfortunate weather that scrambled our storyboards helped us tell a truer story. Ask around about the Land Run 100, and you'll learn that we know how to put together an epic ride or two in Oklahoma, but a more honest reflection of our community of bike riders is found in those everyday rides that go according to plan or don't, while the people sharing them barely notice the difference.

Trans Iowa V14
April 26, 2018 / Tyler Siems
Photo courtesy Bobby Wintle
Each year, 120 intrepid souls gather in Grinnell Iowa to embark on a 340ish mile journey through day and night. After 13 years, Trans Iowa has become a legendary event in the ultra-cycling adventure world. A kooky registration process, rigid rules and an enthusiastic promoter, combined with rugged terrain and unpredictable weather conditions make the event a must-attempt. Historically low finish rates are just a tease to entice more cyclists to register each year. This year we have 4 of our crew heading up to Grinnell to give T.I. a shot. Two men and two women, singlespeed riders all. We shot a few photos of their race-ready rigs to share, feel free to ask them any questions about their setups down in the comments. Best of luck to Bailey Newbrey, Crystal Wintle, Allison Zmuda and Ryan Simon!

Land Run 100 2018 Retrospective
2018 winner Mat Stephens crosses the finish line in a champagne blitz
Each year as we begin to enter the final preparation phase for the Land Run 100, I dig through my digital archives, revisiting images and memories of friends new and old, in an effort to become inspired by the events of years gone by. Historically, Land Run has been a cold and muddy wrestling match, where contenders fight through intensely challenging conditions and mental states to vie for the coveted Bobby hug and a chance at warmth and dryness. 2018 was a different story, and in some sense a story more difficult to tell. Shooting finish line portraits of people who have given everything to the course and to the mud is an easy yarn to spin; pain and suffering is in their faces and in their eyes, making for dramatic images and memories that return instantly upon viewing those images. But how to recount the tale of a day filled with perfect weather, fast roads and happiness? Can simple photographs create a compelling and memorable narrative that will remain meaningful in future years?
After viewing the hundreds of images that passed through my lens on March 17, I think that this story also tells itself. This time it may be a different legend that we share with our friends over beers in the coming months, but a legend it shall be. The legend of the Dry Year, the legend of a 9 year old who rode 50 miles, the legend of some rider from California buying rounds at a bar for three hours in the middle of a race, or simply the legend of the day you beat the Land Run gods at their own game. In the end, neither the course, nor the conditions, nor the photographs were the story: the story as always, was YOU.

Album Review by OJ Sikes:
Nearly 30 years ago, Dale Warren & I discussed our frustration over record companies re-issuing parts of LPs rather than the whole albums. For decades, many songs we loved on LPs lay in vaults, un-issued on CD. But now, producer Fred Goodwin has come to the rescue once again.
In the fall of 2007, Fred issued this new CD of 24 songs recorded between 1959 & '66, at least 10 of which have never been issued on CD anywhere. Some of the songs that have been issued are on CDs like Cool Water that have not been easy to find, so this CD is a real treasure. Most of the "new" songs come from the Songs of Bob Nolan (5), & Tumbleweed Trail (4) LPs. All are in the original stereo and sound terrific. The trio on all recordings is Lloyd Perryman (tenor), Tommy Doss (baritone) and Dale Warren (lead).
Goodwin wrote the liner notes and used rare photos for the art work. Highly recommended! $24.95ppd (major credit cards accepted) from Concept Productions, PO Box 3151, Murfreesboro, TN 37133-3151 or call 1 (615) 890-3047. http://www.cowboylegends.com/

Dr. Mailie Harris from The Chiropractic Wellness Studio joins us to demonstrate 5 yoga stretches that help relieve back pain. Watch the video to find out how to engage your core, elongate your spine, and alleviate tense muscles to decrease pain and increase comfort.
Back pain sufferers know that whether it is a dull ache or a sharp and pain, it's debilitating. We assume back pain is more common as you get older, however, as much as 80% of the population will experience back problems in their lifetime – regardless of their age.
Back pain can manifest as acute pain or chronic pain. Acute pain lasts less than 3-6 months and is often a result of a strain.
Chronic pain can cause ongoing discomfort usually from a structural condition. It is important to identify the form of back pain you are experiencing to find the solution that will get you back to living pain-free.

FBI, CDC Investigating After TSA Agent Attacked with Syringe in Nigerian Airport
The FBI and CDC launched an investigation after someone attacked a federal air marshal with a syringe inside the Lagos, Nigeria airport on Sunday, Fox News reports.
The air marshal, who was on the public side of the airport, was injected with an unknown substance.
He and his team were whisked back to the U.S. with the syringe.
"The [air marshal] reported that the subject stuck him with a syringe and it is believed he was injected with an unknown substance," according to an alert from the TSA. "After consultation with the consulate and physicians, the [federal air marshal] was given precautionary medication."
An FBI spokesman added: "Out of an abundance of caution, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted an on-scene screening of the victim when United Flight 143 landed in Houston early Monday morning. The victim did not exhibit any signs of illness during the flight and was transported to a hospital upon landing for further testing. None of the testing conducted has indicated a danger to other passengers."

FBI Joins Interpol in Int'l Gold Scam Investigation
By Danny Fenster
The FBI has joined international law enforcement agencies in investigating a 100 million pound gold scam in West Africa, reports the Belfast Telegraph.
The scam, which the FBI is looking into with Interpol, is thought to have originated in Lagos, Nigeria, according to the Telegraph. It allegedly was masterminded by a Nigerian gang and involves an Irish passport used to steal millions of dollars from US investors over nearly 12 months.
Scammers offered US investors the ability to purchase unprocessed gold directly from a west African mine, telling them the purchases were tax and fee free.
US Investors put $3 million in creating a secure export system.
The scam was discovered when an Irish security team arrived in west Africa to escort the gold out. The team was unable to make direct contact with the main organizer of the gold shipment–John Recketts–and reported their suspicions to the US investors.
The US investors immediately withdrew from the plans and abandoned the Irish team.

The Aïny skin care line is the result of six years hard work by company founder Daniel Joutard and his team, having spent much of that time in the rainforests of Ecuador and Peru sourcing effective ingredients with the help of local knowledge.
Indeed, the name for the skin care range is taken from the indigenous language, Quechuan, and means 'spirit of living beings' and 'reciprocity', reflecting the line's ethical stance.
That stance has helped it to garner four separate certifications, including Ecocert and One Voice – an achievement that is currently hard to match by any other product line in the category currently.
The product line was given its official industry launch at this week's Beyond Beauty show, where it clearly became a favourite amongst visitors and exhibitors alike.
Indeed, Aïny walked away with show's Beauty Challenge Awards 2008 top prize for the 'coup de coeur' category, after a panel of 40 judges earmarked it as an outstanding concept that taps into the key industry trends of sustainability, natural and ethical production.
A spokesperson for the company said that following the win it had been inundated with distributor enquiries, suggesting that the product will be hitting store shelves soon.
The product line currently includes five offerings – two make-up removers, one specially designed for night-time; a moisturizing and harmonizing cream aimed at women over 25; a regenerating cream; together with a nourishing serum.
Key to the launch is the organic certified formulations, which include four active plant extracts: Sacha Inchi – known for its anti-ageing properties; Unurahua – used to repair skin damage; Achiote – a powerful antioxidant, and Tree of Life, recognized for its healing properties.
Although the ingredients have undergone significant clinical trials and scientific testing to confirm their efficacy and safety, Joutard says that he also relied on the knowledge of local medicine men, or shaman, to help him initially.
Indeed, the product line's striking packaging incorporates a shamanic design by an indigenous artist, used to highlight the brand's indigenous Indian roots.
But in today's increasingly ethical business environment, businesses cannot cannot enter the market with a line of products like this - sourced from indigenous peoples in a developing country - without pledging to help the local communities in question.
Joutard says that the sustainable harvesting of the ingredients for the product line will help a number of different Peruvian and Ecuadorian indigenous tribes, including the Ashaninka, the Yanesha, the Achuar and the Quechua.
To back this claim, the company says that it will return 4 per cent of its turnover to these indegenous communities in Peru and Ecuador that are involved in its work.
