Youtube App Updated To Add Dedicated iMessage App
More than a year after Apple's introduction of iMessage apps, Google's Youtube has been updated with a dedicated iMessage app. Once you have updated to the latest version of the app you will be able to see the Youtube iMessage app in the app drawer. The Youtube iMessage app makes it possible for users to quickly share videos with friends.
When you launch the Youtube iMessage app you will see a list of recently watched videos, which you can tap on in order to share them with a single or group chat. While this is very useful the Youtube Messages app integration does not stop there, as it also makes it possible for users to perform a Youtube search right inside the Messages app and share the result with a friend by simple tapping on a video. This is great for when you are talking about something and want to share a video about it without leaving the conversation screen.
In addition to adding Messages app support this update also brings the ability for users to remove videos from playlists by simply swiping on them.

Rackspace's CMO: Why are marketers making big pushes on the road to hybrid cloud strategy?
Mark Bunting (pictured), CMO of Rackspace, has led the global marketing practice for the company, including global marketing strategy, communications, brands, advertising, creative, digital, field and channel marketing.
He possesses over 25 years of experience as a technologist, author, TV personality and influencer on the topic of demystifying technology. He has appeared on programmes for The Discovery Channel, CNBC, The Learning Channel, Fox and his own series, "Bunting's Window," which ran for 23 years across 11 airlines globally.
More and more businesses are turning to a managed hybrid cloud model that mixes and matches dedicated hardware, private cloud platforms and public cloud services to meet their unique requirements. Bunting talks to Marketing Interactive about marketers adopting hybrid cloud strategy, and the trends in the field of B2B marketing and communications.
Marketing Interactive: Why are retail, advertising and marketing making big pushes on the road to hybrid cloud?
Bunting: There are multiple benefits of adopting a hybrid cloud strategy. It gives enterprises the flexibility of storing their most sensitive data on dedicated hardware, while simultaneously benefiting from the public cloud's cost efficiency and scalability.
To retail brands, the online branded website and e-commerce store are the online face of their business, and it's of utmost importance to keep them solid, stable and dependable.
This can be a challenge as a brand scales in business, especially in the running of a high-demand e-commerce site. This is where a hybrid cloud strategy helps, and partnering with a reliable and capable cloud service company can help brands build a solid and scalable infrastructure, ensure smooth and seamless migration, and provide ongoing, 24/7 support.
Marketing Interactive: How do you market complex and complicated cloud technology to business leaders?
Bunting: As companies increasingly rely and invest more on emerging cloud technologies, it's crucial for business leaders to have a deeper-than-basic understanding of those technologies to power their organisations. Yet when discussions turn to concepts like "containerisation" and "orchestration," frankly many line-of-business leaders can find themselves lost in the terminology without sufficiently understanding its implications. As someone who's spent much of the past two decades breaking down tech for lay audiences, I can empathise.
As part of my work as the new CMO at Rackspace, I'm going to continue explaining tech, including some the most game-changing products and services we offer, on our blog and through videos.
We've already published two videos as part of the "Explained for Business Leaders" series on our blog – Colocation Explained for Business Leaders and Kubernetes Explained for Business Leaders to help customers better understand what goes on behind the scenes in their cloud.
My aim is also to break down complex ideas or wider trends and concepts without any jargon, and highlight the benefits brought about by adopting such technology. Our videos are made to explain concepts in a storytelling format that one can visualise with simple graphics and diagrams, and relatable themes and topics. Recently we created a video – What Pro Sports Can Teach Us About Digital Transformation – that looks at sports teams pioneering new technologies to improve fan experience and player performance, and how this aligns well with what businesses are trying to achieve through big data and digital transformation.
Marketing Interactive: Is using multi-cloud services (instead of single-cloud ones) becoming a trend?
Bunting: Indeed, an IDC report predicts that more than 70% of Asia Pacific enterprises will have a multi-cloud strategy by the end of 2018. The need for efficient management of the new, more complicated multi-cloud environment will also mean that 65% of those with a multi-cloud strategy will likely need to seek management solutions from external service providers.
Currently, businesses of all sizes are gradually moving their workloads out of their corporate data centres onto a combination of platforms like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, VMware and more. But architecting and operating multiple platforms can be highly complex – especially with new tools, apps and features being launched daily. Rather than managing it alone, or trying to wrangle multiple vendors, businesses are turning to managed cloud service providers.
Adopting a multi-cloud strategy is often the first step towards a comprehensive digital transformation.
A multi-cloud approach makes it easier to give everyone in the organisation access to the best technology to solve their problems. We believe that, ultimately, leveraging a multi-cloud environment will become the standard strategy for businesses.
Marketing Interactive: How to ensure cyber-security when adopting multi-cloud services?
Bunting: Cyber criminals are constantly employing new tools and strategies to infiltrate your business. That's why it is so important to understand the security landscape, develop a strategy and engage the right partners to help you implement or strengthen your security measures.
The basics of ensuring a high-level of cloud security stipulate that enterprises should maintain comprehensive data protection, threat protection, and identity management in order to prevent unauthorised access to data.
It also stipulates that companies should choose security solutions that not only protect, but are also scalable as they deploy more clouds and cloud applications.
Because there is no 'one-size-fits-all' security model for all cloud environments, it is vital to understand the context of each and deploy the proper solutions. By working with a provider that invests deeply in security allows businesses to fully leverage the security features available to them.
Marketing Interactive: What are the 2019 trends in B2B marketing and communications?
In macro, clearly B2B marketing is being fuelled by smarter data. Real-time leverage of that data will separate winners-from-losers.
Also, precision in targeting is paramount because B2B targets generally have less available time. Advertisers will be faced with greater contextual requirements, and this will further elevate the role of content and story-telling.
Mobile and advanced AI are just a couple of inputs that are forcing transformational change in engaged marketing. Mobility demands creativity that is consumable in a mobile setting, and the acceleration of AI means that answers and information must be in an always-on state. Innovation and speedy adoption of new technologies are table-stake requirements for marketers in our digital B2B future.
Marketing Interactive: What are your future plans for marketing and for the business at Rackspace?
Bunting: Our team understands there is no "one-size-fits-all" marketing strategy, especially when it comes to B2B technology companies.
Although the digital transformation era and big data has enabled us as marketers to determine and shape our strategies, we are mindful not to lose sight on the creative/story-telling component.
But the most important tenet of our organisation as marketers is capturing the perspective and voice of our customers. Addressing their needs as a "most trusted partner" is where we hang our hat, full stop.
Our unique, 'fanatical' customer-first values truly differentiate us from other managed cloud companies. We deliver true transformation as a service across all industries, whether it be applications, data, security or infrastructure on the world's leading public and private cloud platforms.

This includes people who are Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Burmese, Cambodian, Vietnamese, Singaporean, Indonesian, Filipino, Malaysian, Thai and anyone with an EA/SEA background. It does not matter to us whether you were born in Asia or the West or have never published anything before. What matters to us is entertaining writing that comes from the heart.
If you do not have an EA / SEA background and are interested in contributing, we are very happy to review your work as long as it is relevant to EA /SEA.
Becoming a Banana Writer
We are passionate about supporting all mediums of writing. We publish articles, short stories, poems, songs, interviews, scripts and book reviews. Our website is used as a free platform for new, talented writers to display their work. We currently have readers from over thirty countries and literary agents, famous authors and publishers regularly read the content on our website. We are a non-profit organisation and are here as an encouragement for new writers.
We know how nerve wrecking it can be to "Put yourself out there," so everything we receive is carefully read and considered. We will contact you if we would like to publish your work on the website (within 8 weeks for books and scripts and 4 weeks for everything else). Through our website you are given the chance to share your writing with the world.
Send your pieces to:
info@bananawriters.com
Apart from songs, scripts and full novels all work must be in a word document. We only edit articles, reviews and interviews.
We like feature and news articles that entertain, challenge and bring fresh perspectives to the world. (Word Count 1,000-3,000 words)
Fiction & Poems
We want to be a unique platform that encourages and builds up the confidence of new EA / SEA writers. We accept short stories, poems and provide links to free downloadable books, websites or sample chapters from new authors.
(Word count for short stories or poems is under 7,500 words. If you would like us to feature a book that you have published, email us a downloadable copy of the book. If the book is appropriate, we will feature it in on our website. Contact us for more details if you have only published your book in hard copy).
We like to support EA/ SEA singer-songwriters. If you have an original song or piece of music you would like to share, do send us an MP3 or a link to your YouTube video. If appropriate, we will feature it on the website. Since our focus is on good writing, we cannot publicise musicians that have not written their own material.
We enjoy getting to know experienced EA / SEA writers. If you would like to be a featured writer drop us an email stating your work credentials and passions. Your experience and wisdom will really encourage new writers.
We conduct our own interviews but are also interested in receiving completed interviews with published writers, singer-songwriters, stand up comedians, scriptwriters and journalists. (Word Count 1,500-3000 words)
We are interested on fresh perspectives on an EA/ SEA author or reviews of books by EA/ SEA. Articles can be in the form of a book review or a general article on a specific author. (Word Count 1,000-3,000 words)
We like sharing scripts that will come alive in a film or on the stage. Please send us stories that will make the audience think. Word count isn't as important as page count. The scriptwriting adage of one page = one minute is still pretty true for playwriting. We do not want scripts that last longer than 90 mins.

I caught this pic of a Moose Mama back in June using the Canon T5i from BorrowLenses.com. I was about 20 feet away drinking my tea working on my blog. I took this shot with the Canon T5i using the 70-200mm lens. I still want to get that lens for my new Canon T3i – hopefully for Black Friday!!!

It probably goes without saying that a major source of anxiety for many graduating undergrads is "where do I go from here?".
It is always good to start thinking about career early and plan your trajectory for the long term, but is planning everything?
According to all the alumni panelists at UofT's Next Step Conference today: it's not.
In fact it's far from it: what you have planned for yourself in your undergraduate years, no matter how logical you believe your plans to be, things change. And they almost always change for the better.
Here are the three lessons I've learned from the conference.
This may sound bad, but the emphasis placed on picking that perfect Major/Specialist program is overrated, and wildly suffocating. It is a misconception that what you choose to do in undergrad will become what you do for the rest of your career. In the "Public Policy Panel", all alumnus (including a retired UN Assistant Secretary General) did not specialize in public policies degree; but instead, they were students of East Asian Studies, Criminology, and Nursing. And the fact that they were here today shows that what you study doesn't really matter, but what matters is how you frame your story, how you use your experience to narrate your strength and uniqueness.
#2 Ask questions. Build Network. Find a mentor.
This is one part that I felt I was really missing out on in my 1st/2nd/3rd year.
UofT has this gimmick ok? It's almost like a sly under-the-table offer: first they load you with so much academic work that you barely have time to do anything else; then they offer these amazing career/success centre services that you won't know unless you proactively go look for them. The alumni network they have at UofT is wonderful– so extensive, so readily available. It's like a snowball effect: once you start talking to people, you will be referred to more people, and the momentum builds.
Networking was something new to me. Being a science student, I find that we don't usually get the chance to mingle in networking events (unlike the business or engineering kids). But what I realized is that: extracurriculars, clubs events, student associations, even talking to TAs after class, it's all networking. You want to talk to different people from different backgrounds, expand your worldwide view, and don't forget to follow-up/check-in, because these connections can really help you later in your career.
Psychologically, biologically, mentally, we're all greedy creatures. We want to have the cake and eat it too, asap.
But sitting in the "Entrepreneurship and innovation" panel, listening to all the exciting stories about building businesses from groundup, having nothing to having everything, it reminded me that career success is not achieved overnight. There is a limit to the term "flexibility". You can be flexible and open to new opportunities, but the foundational milestone ("Eventually I want to get from /here/ to /here/") should be set early on. Panelists emphasized the aggressiveness of these milestones. Rooted in passion and resiliency, milestones should be set with vigilance, planned with a careful set of attacks to pinpoint key opportunities. But the element of surprise is still there. You might pivot into a industry that has nothing to do with your eventual milestone, but as long as you keep to your values, understand your own narrative, and lock down those transferable skills, you will have fortune on your side.

Munich access
Heart of Europe location
As Bavarian capital Munich occupies an enviable geographic location at the heart of Europe. A key traffic and transportation node on trade routes from west to east and from north to south, the city boasts an excellent road and local public transportation network, superb rail links and an international airport of European rank.

Rail and freeway links
The Bavarian capital enjoys excellent access to Europe's rail and freeway networks. Due north, since the end of 2017 Berlin can be accessed by high-speed line within less than four hours, serving Nuremberg and Erfurt on the way. Thanks to the high-speed rail network extension LGV Est, the train journey from Munich to Paris has been slashed to just about six hours.
The major cargo ports in Genoa and Venice are both around seven to eight hours from Munich by train. The city on the Isar River is also the ideal springboard to Italy, Austria and the markets of Eastern Europe: Budapest can be reached in seven hours, Prague in five to six hours.
It is no wonder that Munich stands out as an international hub of both passenger and freight transportation. A total of eight freeways, all interlinked by a freeway ring around Munich, guarantee a similar standard of accessibility by truck and private car.

Munich Airport is the second-largest airport in Germany, and is number eight in Europe in terms of passenger volume. 46.3 million passengers used it in 2018 – and were clearly very satisfied with the service and handling they received. In 2018, the respected passenger survey conducted by London-based air travel research company Skytrax has identified Munich Airport twelve times as the best airport in Europe. In addition, it was voted seventh best airport in the world.
Munich Airport also serves an important hub function in European aviation, with 106 airlines offering 264 connections to destinations around the globe. In 2018, some 368,000 tons of airfreight were handled here. International freight and logistics companies can take advantage of ultra-modern facilities; and in 2012, an extra distribution building brought hall space for delivery, sorting and forwarding to a total of 76,000 m2.
The new Terminal 2 satellite facility opened in 2016. Used by Lufthansa and Star Alliance it added significant capacity to handle even more passengers. All the new features – 15 shops, seven restaurants/cafes and three extra duty free areas – are easy to reach via the airport's own short-distance underground link.

Local public transportation
There are currently large building sites and projects to keep Munich's local public transportation system in good shape while the city keeps growing. In large national rankings conducted for examply by Service Value, Civity and Splendid Research, Munich's public transportation is regularly in the top third section regarding passenger satisfaction and efficiency. Its subway, commuter railway, streetcar and bus lines forge effective links between Munich and the surrounding region, carrying two million passengers a day. Since the overall network extends over 1,121 kilometers in the city, virtually every Munich household is within a 400-meter radius of at least one stop.
For those given to healthier, low-carbon ways of getting around, Munich also boasts more than 1,200 kilometers of well-maintained cycle paths. The city's Radlhauptstadt [Cycling Capital] campaign started actively promoting this mode of transportation more than 15 years ago. Bike users now account for 18 percent of the city's modal split. About 300,000 people per day use their bike to move around the city.

Gaza Strip News Report Non-violent action
Israelis Overtake, Board Siege Breaking Vessel
Israel's navy has boarded and taken over an activist ship seeking to break its Gaza blockade and was escorting it to port, Monday, in an operation that did not employ force, the military said.According to Haaretz, Israeli forces intercepted the Gaza-bound boat Marianne late Sunday night, in what the military said was a short operation, free of any casualties. The boat was currently en route to the Ashdod port, at the time of the report.
Three of the boats were said to have turned back while a fourth, the Marianne of Gothenburg, was boarded by the Israeli navy and was being escorted to an Israeli port.
The Swedish boat, which on Sunday afternoon was 150 nautical miles from the Gaza Coast, is carrying 20 activists, among them MK Basel Ghattas (Joint Arab List) and former Tunisian president Moncef Marzouki.
Said AFP: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lauded the operation, insisting his government was right to take action against Hamas, the group that rules Gaza.
Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon said that the flotilla 'wasn't humanitarian and didn't seek to help anyone,' adding that 'the participants were seeking to continue the campaign to delegitimise Israel.'
Among the passengers on the four vessels were Palestinian Knesset member Basel Ghattas, Tunisia's former president Moncef Marzouki and at least one European lawmaker.
A statement Friday from the flotilla's media team said its goal was 'to highlight the violation of the rights of 1.8 million Palestinians living in the world's largest open-air prison.
'We once again call on the government of Israel to finally lift the blockade on Gaza,' a statement read. 'Our destination remains the conscience of humanity.'
MK Ghattas wrote that along with the former Tunisian president, the vessel's passengers included European parliament members, journalists, academics and writers. "All the passengers are peace activists and their sole purpose is to protest the closure of Gaza and to provide humanitarian aid – medical equipment to Shifa Hospital."
Ghattas called on the Israeli officials "to order the security forces to allow the entrance of the Marianne and avoid the use of any forces, which undermines the ship's humanitarian mission."
After arriving in Ashdod, the passengers will be interrogated before being escorted to Ben-Gurion Airport and flown out of Israel.
A number of flotillas had reached Gaza prior to May 2010, when 10 Turkish activists aboard the Mavi Marmara were killed in an Israeli raid on the six-ship flotilla.
Since then, several ships manned by pro-Palestinian activists have tried to reach the shores of Gaza, but they have all been repelled by the Israeli navy.
The latest attempt comes with the Palestinian territory yet to begin the reconstruction of thousands of homes destroyed during last summer's 50-day conflict between Hamas and Israel.
Israeli military forces killed over 2,200 Palestinians, including 500 children, during the offensive last summer.

HUNTSMAN is a leading global chemical manufacturer with five business divisions.
The company employs around 12,000 people operating from multiple locations worldwide. Huntsman makes products for a variety of global industries and two of its business divisions have facilities on Teesside. The company is currently moving its Pigments business global headquarters from offices and laboratories at Billingham to Wynyard Park. Its manufacturing sites on Teesside are at Greatham and at Wilton.
Last month the company switched on the energy efficient lights behind the Huntsman logo on the front of Titanium House, a three-storey office building at Wynyard Park, where Huntsman is creating a new global business centre.
Huntsman is also building a new innovation centre in 31,000 square feet of purpose-built laboratory space at Wynyard Park. Pigments staff currently working in offices and laboratories at Huntsman's Billingham site will move to Wynyard later this year.
Huntsman's Pigments business has been manufacturing titanium dioxide pigments in the North-east since 1934. That's more than 75 years of investment and employment.
Today, Huntsman Pigments is a leading global supplier of specialist titanium dioxide pigments with an annual turnover of more than $1bn and seven international manufacturing sites employing around 2,000 people worldwide.
The titanium dioxide pigments Huntsman makes are important ingredients in thousands of industrial and everyday consumer products. Titanium dioxide pigments reflect light better than diamonds to bring whiteness, brightness and opacity to paints, construction products and plastics, printing inks and packaging, paper, textiles, medicines, toothpaste, and cosmetics.
The Huntsman Pigments manufacturing site at Greatham, operated by around 400 people, has just marked its 40th anniversary of pigment production. The first tonne of product was manufactured on December 31, 1971 and was sold to a paint producing customer who continues to be one of Huntsman's customers today.
Greatham site has grown substantially and is home to some of Huntsman's recent pigment innovations including a TIOXIDE® pigment which helps to make low odour paints, and award winning free flow, low dust DELTIO® pigments that help customers save energy and also keep their working environment cleaner.
Over the years the Pigments business has won a number of prestigious international awards for its sustainable approach to business.
At the 2011 Chemical Industry Awards, Greatham site won the EDF Energy Low Carbon Award for the company which best exemplified enhanced carbon management.
The judges heard how Greatham had reduced its energy consumption by almost 30% in the last decade. Carbon intensity (carbon dioxide per tonne of pigment) was also reduced by 16%.

My PhD was funded through the EU (SEUPB), within a project entitled 'Planning for Spatial Reconciliation' and is being undertaken at the School of Planning, Architecture and Structural Engineering at Queen's University, Belfast.
I am interested in the impact that the built environment can have on the negotiation of difference within societies that are in or moving out of conflict. I am also interested in liminality, or practices of locating in-between, particularly in divided and contested contexts where divisive binaries are rife. Nick Vaughan-Williams points out that 'the notion of maintaining sharp, contiguous borders between anything is impossible and inevitably breaks down.' (Vaughan-Williams 2012: 1) My research looks at spatial praxitioners who are actively working, in various ways, towards the breaking down of physical, conceptual and social borders in such places.
This research focuses on the practice of architects and planners in Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine who are acting on such 'liberating intents', in all their diverse, contradictory and context-specific ways.
How is space being produced in divided and contested contexts in ways that transcend the traditional boundaries of knowlege, practice and distinct places?
I think your blog is fantastic. You brave person!
Very interesting blog, very relevant research.
I know you haven't posted anything new on your blog in a while, but I have just discovered it and it's simply amazing ! Your research is extremely interesting and deeply relevant for today's many divided cities.
I happen to also be a PhD student in Belfast, and have decided to focus on a sociological analysis of 'shared spaces' in divided cities. We therefore have quite a lot in common !
Thanks for your comment, Julia, and the best of luck with your research on 'shared spaces' – no doubt we'll cross paths at some stage in this small city!

Mother of Chantel Moore seeks answers, change after son's suicide
Alanna Kelly Journalist/Weekend Anchor
@CTVNewsAlanna Contact
Published Friday, November 27, 2020 6:22PM PST Last Updated Friday, November 27, 2020 6:51PM PST
VICTORIA -- An Indigenous mother grappling with the devastating loss of both of her children just months apart is calling for change and answers.
Chantel Moore's family is mourning after her 23-year-old brother died by suicide while at the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre on Nov. 14.
Moore, 26, was shot and killed by an Edmundston, N.B., police officer during a wellness check on June 4.
"I've had to plan a funeral for my son and my daughter," said Martha Martin. "It's the hardest thing to do as a mother. You should never have to."
Martin has flown from News Brunswick, where she lives, to collect her son's ashes in Nanaimo.
"My son and my daughter had always been really close and I feel like the system has let both of my kids down," said Martin.
A close friend of the family who is helping them search for answers and justice tells CTV News Mike Martin was struggling with the loss of his sister.
Judith Sayers, president of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Tribal Council, said the loss is unimaginable for the family.
"He was very young. He was reeling still from the impact of the death of his sister," said Sayers. "He was having a hard time dealing with that."
Martin describes the relationship between them as a close bond.
"They were very close ... When she first came to meet him at the hospital she loved him from the moment she held him," Martin said. "He was no longer my baby, he became her baby."
Martin said she has not received details on the death of her son.
"I don't have any answers other than he took his life while he was in custody. I can't even process that," she said. "How does a young man go undetected all night?"
CTV News Vancouver Island reached out to BC Corrections about the death and were told details could not be released due to privacy restrictions.
"Any death in custody is a tragedy and our thoughts are with this individual's family and friends at this time," said Hope Latham, public affairs officer for the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General.
Both the BC Coroners Service and BC Corrections are investigating the death.
Martin is demanding answers and hopes speaking out will stop another parent from going through what she is.
"There needs to be a change within our whole system," she said.
"There hasn't been enough change," said Sayers. "I think this is just another wake-up call for people in Canada to say 'Yeah, let's change this and let's change this now so no more lives are lost.'"

Q: R: use forecast::accuracy() on split data Having a hard time getting the accuracy() function from {forecast} to work on predicted test values.
First, build the LM model on the training data (here for reproducibility):
library(ISLR)
set.seed(1)
train <- sample(392, 196)
lm.fit <- lm(mpg~horsepower, data = Auto, subset = train)

Then compute the MSE of the test data:
mean((auto$mpg - predict(lm.fit, Auto))[-train]^2)

My goal is to use forecast::accuracy() to get MSE (rather than the above) and additional measures of error. However, I simply can not get it to run, no matter what I feed it. This is definitely user error, and looking for any thoughts out there.
I know forecast::accuracy() does not contain MSE "out of the box" but I plan on computing it via accuracy(data)[, 2]^2 and merging with the other output.

A: accuracy(forecast(lm.fit, newdata=Auto[-train,]), Auto$mpg[-train])[,2]^2

Sidebar navigation is one of the more complex components of a documentation site, and it is critical for helping users understand and find documentation. I hacked together a sidebar menu for a doc site that's hosted on a somewhat inflexible platform, using Jekyll to generate the sidebar. Important features of a documentation sidebar include multiple levels of depth, expand/collapse options, accordion effects, fixed navigation, dynamic menu highlighting, and more.
I mentioned in a previous post about tools that I was swimming in Jekyll code for the past few days. I finally finished the sidebar menu I was working on. If you look at this documentation page, there's now a three-level expandable/collapsible menu on the right.
First, the default platform is a third-party web-based CMS (called Hippo, which almost no one has ever heard of or used, but it's based on Java). Theoretically, we could have modified the Hippo theme to integrate a more granular sidebar into its main navigation, and if so, we surely would have added it on the left. However, for a variety of reasons, mainly because Hippo is most likely an interim solution that we'll replace, and because the platform's code largely remains a black box, I decided just to hack in the sidebar I needed for now.
This sidebar is generated through Liquid and Jekyll. A YAML file in a Jekyll project stores the data, and the theme iterates through the YAML data and pushes the data items into HTML formatting.
The expand/collapse and accordion features are provided through an open source jQuery component called Navgoco. The accordion feature of the sidebar keeps the list of items manageable. Without the accordion effect, you can expand the folders and get buried in the options very quickly.
The icons are rendered through Font Awesome, which is a cloud-based vector font library. Because they're vectors, you can adjust the size of the icons through CSS and they remain crisp.
Some other scripts, adapted from some tutorials from CSS Tricks, handle the menu highlighting. When the page URL matches the URL in one of the list items, an open class gets added to the sidebar list item. Another jQuery script gets any items with an open class and also adds an open class to the item's parents. The navgoco sidebar then expands sections with the open class.
This sidebar solution is a hack, made twice as cumbersome because the code is integrated onto another platform that was never intended to include such code. But it seems to work.
Originally I was trying to imitate the AWS docs sidebar, which you can see in this sample EC2 doc set. However, there are a few design differences. With the AWS sidebar, clicking the folder titles both displays an overview topic and expands items below it. With my sidebar, however, clicking the folder titles merely expands items below it. I like it that way. All too often, when folder titles link to topics, the topics are general and don't say much, like this one.
Another design difference is that the AWS sidebar is fixed in place as you scroll down the page. This is how my Jekyll sidebar ideally should be. However, when you put the sidebar on the right and its height exceeds the page's height, fixing it in place would result in two scrollbars side by side, which can be confusing to users and reflects poor design. (I once created a site that had 3 scrollbars on the right, and a UX designer almost had a heart attack.) By the way, this is solid argument for keeping the navigation on the left. With a right-based nav, you can't fix a sidebar in place as you scroll and avoid dual sidebars.
For now, the sidebar is what it is. In the future, I plan to incorporate some of the techniques I used here to improve the sidebar in my Jekyll documentation theme. With the Jekyll documentation theme, the sidebar currently has styling that really only looks good with one level, not three. When you want to have three levels, you need more of the +/- button style similar to what I've been showing here.
To take a step back a bit, what started me down this path to improve the documentation sidebar was a fork someone made of my documentation theme that was used as a basis for the Loopback.io documentation site. Check out Loopback.io. It's really an impressive doc site, entirely coded with Jekyll.
Without a doubt, Loopback.io doc site contains a lot of content. It's the kind of documentation that, if printed, would probably fill 500+ pages. Additionally, the site accommodates translations for about 5 different languages (or plans to).
The Loopback UX person who improved the code in the sidebar is a total genius with Liquid. The sidebar code provides a more concise design with expandable/collapsible sections, and the site's display seems to handle as many levels as you can feed it.
By the way, although my Jekyll doc theme has been on Github for more than a year, this is the first time someone has forked it in a way that takes the theme up a few levels.
Initially I tried to roll back in some of the improvements from the Loopback fork, and while I spent a few hours stripping down the Loopback site and isolating the sidebar code and figuring out how it was put together, in the end I ran into some issues that I couldn't easily solve (items seemed to slide in from the left instead of dropping straight down), so I just decided to make my modification another way.
Another detail I deliberated about was whether the doc site should have multiple sidebars or a single sidebar. With a site like Loopback's documentation, they have a need for multiple sidebars – a sidebar that corresponds to different versions of the documentation, different languages, and so on. All the code exists in the same Jekyll project and repository. When I created the existing version of Jekyll documentation theme (version 6.0), I promoted and heralded the idea of having multiple sidebars per project – you just select the sidebar that you want to associate with a page.
However, setting up this kind of swappable sidebar is a little confusing. And ultimately, I'm not sure that it's such a great idea (at least with documentation projects) to have a mega-site that includes everything. For some projects, sure. In fact, this blog has multiple sidebars, or rather different conditional logic to show different options in the same sidebar.
But I've come around on my thinking with multiple sidebars. If you allocate only one sidebar per documentation project, it allows different writers to work more autonomously on projects. There isn't a compelling need to collaborate extensively in git (potentially running into merge conflicts from overlapping edits by different writers). Why not just separate out documentation into different repos and projects? And if your sidebar can expand/collapse to three levels, that gives you a lot more space to arrange your content, so you don't need more than one sidebar.
In the end, simplicity is more important in trying to scale the Jekyll platform adoption, so I'm willing to cut away some of the more complex features. Our goal is to make the Jekyll theme simple enough for other groups outside our tech comm team to use it.
How do you link from a topic in one doc set to a topic in another doc set?
When you have an update to your theme, how do you push out those updates to each individual project?
For the theme updates, the gem-based themes address this challenge, but it assumes your theme is on Rubygems, which is problematic if your theme is not open-source (such as a corporate theme). You can create your own Rubygems-like server, but it would take a while and require quite a bit of know-how.
Overall, when you look at a documentation site, take a look at the sidebar. It's usually a complex undertaking.

Things went from bad to worse June 18 when, after being arrested for DUI and hauled off to the Blaine County lockup, police said the suspect pulled a gun on lawmen at the jail.
This morning's Idaho Mountain Express reports that 49-year-old Tad Mutum of Bellevue was stopped after law enforcement reported he had been driving erratically in southern Bellevue. Police said Mutum failed several field sobriety tests.
But according of law enforcement, Mutum said, "This is not going to end well," while being transported to the jail.
"I asked Mutum what he meant by that comment and Mutum did not reply," said Bellevue Deputy Marshall Kyle Skuza.
Skuza said that Mutum pulled the gun out when they arrived at the jail.
"I observed the barrel of a handgun in Mutum's right hand," said Skuza who said he pushed Mutum backwards, tripped him with his leg, held him down and radioed for backup. Blaine County jail deputies arrived soon thereafter and took the gun from Mutum.
The gun had apparently been hidden in a cell phone case.
Mutum remains behind bars, charged with DUI, carrying a concealed weapon while under the influence and a felony charge of assault on a policeman.

The 1990 NCAA Division I-A football season ended with a split national championship and the ensuing controversy helped lead to the creation of the Bowl Coalition, a precursor to the Bowl Championship Series. The national title was split between the Colorado Buffaloes and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. The Buffaloes (11–1–1) took the AP poll while the Yellow Jackets (11–0–1) took the UPI Coaches poll by one vote over Colorado, 847 to 846. During the season Colorado had a particularly controversial victory over Missouri in what would later be known as the "Fifth Down Game".

Rule changes
 Approved reducing the width of the goal posts from 23 feet 9 inches to 18 feet 6 inches starting in 1991.
 Mandated visible 25-second clocks at each end zone.
 Allowed the defense to advance fumbles that occur beyond the line of scrimmage. Previously, fumbles could only be advanced if they were caught in the air.

No. 1 and No. 2 progress

Recap of the year
Voters were divided in the first poll of the 1990 college football season. The first rankings reflected the lack of consensus, as No. 1 Miami, No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 3 Auburn, No. 4 Florida State, and No. 5 Colorado each received at least three first-place votes in the preseason poll.

Week One: August 26-September 1, 1990
There was little movement in the polls as most teams either played against non-competitive foes or did not begin the season until September 8. The only significant game was a 31–31 tie between No. 5 Colorado and No. 8 Tennessee in the first-ever Pigskin Classic, played at Anaheim Stadium. The next AP Poll featured Miami and Notre Dame still at Nos. 1 and 2, Auburn and Florida State tied at No. 3, and Michigan at No. 5.

Week Two: September 8, 1990
The most significant game and slight upset of week two came in Provo, Utah, where No. 16 Brigham Young, led by eventual Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer, held off the defending champion, No. 1 Miami Hurricanes, 28–21. No. 2 Notre Dame and No. 5 Michigan, who were scheduled to play each other the following week, had not begun their season. No. 3 Auburn defeated Cal State Fullerton 38-17, while fellow No. 3 Florida State beat East Carolina 45-24. A comeback by No. 6 Colorado staved off defeat against unranked Stanford, 17–14. The pollsters remained unimpressed by Colorado, dropping them to No. 9 despite the win. The Gene Stallings era began for No. 13 Alabama with a 27–24 loss to the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, quarterbacked by Brett Favre; the Tide opened their season with three straight losses. The Steve Spurrier era also began at Florida, as the unranked Gators beat Oklahoma State 50-7. In Charlottesville, No. 14 Virginia beat No. 9 Clemson 20-7 in what was viewed as an upset. It was Virginia's first win ever over the Tigers, after 29 consecutive losses since their first meeting in 1955. The top five teams in the next poll were No. 1 Notre Dame, No. 2 Auburn, No. 3 Florida State, No. 4 Michigan, and No. 5 Brigham Young.

Week Three: September 15, 1990
The most important game of week three was a top five match-up of No. 1 Notre Dame against No. 4 Michigan. In an exciting game, the Fighting Irish prevailed 28–24. No. 2 Auburn won 24-10 at Mississippi, No. 3 Florida State defeated Georgia Southern 48-6, No. 5 Brigham Young beat Washington State 50-36, and No. 6 USC got past Penn State 19-14. The other game that would have season-long significance was No. 21 Illinois' upset of No. 9 Colorado, 23–22. The game would figure prominently in the national championship argument in January. Spurrier also won his SEC debut, with No. 24 Florida besting Alabama 17–13. The next poll featured No. 1 Notre Dame, No. 2 Florida State, No. 3 Auburn, No. 4 Brigham Young, and No. 5 USC.

Week Four: September 22, 1990
No. 1 Notre Dame squeaked past No. 24 Michigan State 20-19, with the crucial moment being a bizarre play where a Rick Mirer pass bounced off the chest of Spartans cornerback Todd Murray and into the hands of receiver Adrian Jarrell, putting the Irish in position to score the game-winning touchdown. No. 2 Florida State won 31-13 at Tulane, while No. 3 Auburn was idle. No. 4 Brigham Young defeated San Diego State 62-34, but No. 5 USC was blasted 31-0 by No. 21 Washington. No. 6 Tennessee, which was idle this week, moved up in the next poll: No. 1 Notre Dame, No. 2 Florida State, No. 3 Auburn, No. 4 Brigham Young, and No. 5 Tennessee.

Week Five: September 29, 1990
No. 1 Notre Dame defeated Purdue 37-11, and No. 2 Florida State beat Virginia Tech 39-28. No. 5 Tennessee had their second tie in a little over a month, as No. 3 Auburn rallied from a 17-point deficit to even the score; a missed Volunteers field goal with 15 seconds left led to a 26-26 final tally. No. 4 Brigham Young visited Oregon and lost 32-16. No. 6 Michigan won 45-17 over Maryland, and No. 7 Virginia defeated William & Mary 63-35. The next poll featured No. 1 Notre Dame, No. 2 Florida State, No. 3 Michigan, No. 4 Virginia, and No. 5 Auburn.

Week Six: October 6, 1990
The most controversial game of the season—and one of the most controversial of all time—occurred this week, when No. 12 Colorado beat Missouri on a last minute lunge by back-up quarterback Charles Johnson. The problem, however, was that Johnson actually scored on a Fifth Down due to an error by the seven officials calling the game. The game would have major ramifications for the national championship at year's end.

Meanwhile, Stanford's Tommy Vardell scored four touchdowns (all on runs from the one-yard line) to lead the Cardinal to a 36-31 upset of No. 1 Notre Dame. No. 2 Florida State visited No. 9 Miami and lost 31-22. No. 3 Michigan dominated Wisconsin 41-3, while No. 4 Virginia was idle. No. 5 Auburn barely escaped unheralded Louisiana Tech, winning 16-14 on a last-second field goal, and the Tigers fell out of the top five in the next poll. No. 6 Tennessee was also idle, and No. 7 Oklahoma moved up with a 31-17 win at Oklahoma State: No. 1 Michigan, No. 2 Virginia, No. 3 Miami, No. 4 Oklahoma, and No. 5 Tennessee. All of the top five teams received first place votes, as did No. 8 Nebraska, No. 10 Florida, and No. 13 Houston.

Week Seven: October 13, 1990
After sitting on top of the college rankings for only four days, Michigan became the third number one team of the year to get knocked off the top spot, losing 28–27 at home in Ann Arbor to archrival Michigan State; the Wolverines failed a two-point conversion with seconds to go as Desmond Howard could not hold on to the ball when he was allegedly interfered with, in a very controversial no-call by the referees. This opened the door for No. 2 Virginia, who moved atop the polls for the first time in team history with a 31-0 shutout of North Carolina State. No. 3 Miami was similarly dominant in a 34-0 win over Kansas.
The day's other upset of a top-five team was No. 4 Oklahoma's 14–13 loss to unranked Texas in the Red River Shootout. No. 9 Florida also endured their first loss in the Spurrier era, losing a 45–3 rout at the hands of No. 5 Tennessee despite being down only 7–3 at halftime. No. 18 Georgia Tech knocked off No. 15 Clemson, 21–19, in a game that was to be of greater importance at the end of season. The next poll featured No. 1 Virginia, No. 2 Miami, No. 3 Tennessee, No. 4 Nebraska, and No. 5 Auburn.

Week Eight: October 20, 1990
No. 1 Virginia won 49-14 at Wake Forest, but otherwise the season continued to shock as ten of the 25 ranked teams went down to defeat on an unforgettable Saturday. In a battle of national powers, No. 6 Notre Dame knocked off No. 2 Miami, 29–20, in South Bend and ensured the Hurricanes would not repeat as national champions. Perhaps an even greater upset came in Knoxville, where Alabama (with a 2–3 record), stunned No. 3 Tennessee, 9–6, just one week after the Volunteers had put up 45 points on Florida. The Vols lined up to kick a potential game winning FG with less than two minutes left only to see Stacy Harrison block the kick. The momentum from the block sent the ball forty yards back downfield and put Alabama in position to win on a last second field goal by All-American Phillip Doyle. No. 5 Auburn scored 10 points in the last 4 minutes to beat No. 7 Florida State 20–17 in a match-up of top ten teams. Auburn's win put them at No. 2 in the nation, their highest ranking since they won the national championship in 1957. No. 24 Michigan State continued their habit of close games against highly-ranked teams, losing 15-13 to No. 8 Illinois with all of the Illini's points coming on field goals.  No. 11 Georgia Tech suffered their first imperfection of the season, but they did not lose the game thanks to a Scott Sisson field goal in the closing seconds. Their tiff with North Carolina ended in a 13–13 tie that would later haunt the Yellow Jackets. Michigan lost their second game in a row by a single point, this time to Iowa, 24–23, following their ascent to number one. The next poll featured No. 1 Virginia, No. 2 Auburn, No. 3 Notre Dame, No. 4 Nebraska, and No. 5 Illinois.

Week Nine: October 27, 1990
No. 1 Virginia was idle. No. 2 Auburn won yet another nailbiter, prevailing 17-16 over Mississippi State on a blocked extra point. No. 3 Notre Dame won 31-22 at Pittsburgh, No. 4 Nebraska beat Iowa State 45-13, and No. 5 Illinois defeated Wisconsin 21-3. The next poll featured No. 1 Virginia, No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 3 Nebraska, No. 4 Auburn, and No. 5 Illinois.

Week Ten: November 3, 1990
One of the most upset-filled days in college football history started at the top. No. 1 Virginia entered their game against No. 16 Georgia Tech short-handed, as star tight end Bruce McGonnigal ruptured his spleen in a freak accident when he fell into a concrete pit while looking for a lost dog. A late Cavaliers touchdown was nullified by a penalty called on one of McGonnigal's backups, and this play proved to be the difference when Georgia Tech's Scott Sisson kicked a field goal with time running out for a 41-38 victory. But this game shared top billing with the showdown in Lincoln, Nebraska, between No. 3 Nebraska and No. 9 Colorado. Trailing by 12 points with only 12 minutes to play, the Buffaloes scored four touchdowns, all from Eric Bieniemy, to win 27–12. And just when the shock had worn off, No. 15 Florida routed No. 4 Auburn, 48–7, and No. 5 Illinois fell 54-28 to No. 13 Iowa. A few highly-ranked teams actually won: No. 2 Notre Dame regained the top spot with a 52-31 win over Navy, No. 6 Houston beat TCU 56-35, No. 7 Washington defeated No. 23 Arizona 54-10, and No. 8 Miami shut out Pittsburgh 45-0. The next poll featured No. 1 Notre Dame, No. 2 Washington, No. 3 Houston, No. 4 Colorado, and No. 5 Miami.

Week Eleven: November 10, 1990
In keeping with the strange season where the uncommon became commonplace, four of the top nine teams lost and the muddy national title picture got a little clearer. No. 2 Washington, poised for a possible shot at the title, lost a stunner at home to UCLA, 25–22, when the Bruins kicked the game-winning FG with seven seconds left, ending a national title dream, although the Huskies still were bound for the Rose Bowl. No. 3 Houston, with Heisman Trophy candidate David Klingler filling the shoes of departed 1989 Heisman winner Andre Ware, finally lost, falling 45–24 to No. 14 Texas and ending speculation that the national championship might go to a team on probation. Houston's bowl ineligibility assured they would be given no consideration in the final poll for a top ranking. No. 6 Iowa stumbled at home and lost to Ohio State, 27–26, as the Buckeyes scored the game-winning touchdown with one second left, ending the Hawkeyes' title bid. No. 9 Tennessee managed a fourth imperfection on their record—two losses and two ties—when they fell to No. 1 Notre Dame, 34–29.

The losses, however, helped clear the way for some other hopefuls. No. 4 Colorado beat Oklahoma State 41-22 to clinch the Big 8 title and an Orange Bowl berth, while No. 5 Miami was idle. No. 7 Georgia Tech scored their second buzzer-beating field goal in two weeks in a 6-3 win over Virginia Tech; the Yellow Jackets, whose only blemish was a tie against North Carolina in October, were now the only undefeated team in the nation. No. 8 Brigham Young won 45-14 over No. 25 Wyoming and moved up in the next poll: No. 1 Notre Dame, No. 2 Colorado, No. 3 Miami, No. 4 Georgia Tech, and No. 5 Brigham Young.

Week Twelve: November 17, 1990
The championship picture, much clearer just a week earlier, was considerably muddied again when top-ranked Notre Dame became the fifth number one to fall from the top spot as No. 18 Penn State edged the No. 1 Irish, 24–21, on a Craig Fayak field goal with 4 seconds left, coming back from a 14-point deficit. No. 2 Colorado finished their season by overwhelming Kansas State 64-3, No. 3 Miami defeated Boston College 42-12, No. 4 Georgia Tech won 42-7 at Wake Forest, No. 5 Brigham Young visited Utah for a 45-22 victory, and No. 6 Florida was victorious 47-15 at Kentucky. The next poll featured No. 1 Colorado, No. 2 Miami, No. 3 Georgia Tech, No. 4 Brigham Young, and No. 5 Florida.

Week Thirteen: November 24, 1990
No. 1 Colorado had finished their season. No. 2 Miami beat Syracuse 33-7, but undefeated No. 3 Georgia Tech (which was idle this week) moved ahead of the two-loss Hurricanes in the next poll. No. 4 Brigham Young defeated Utah State 45-10, and No. 5 Florida was idle. No. 6 Texas, who clinched the SWC title and a Cotton Bowl berth with a 22-13 win at Baylor, moved up in the next poll: No. 1 Colorado, No. 2 Georgia Tech, No. 3 Miami, No. 4 Brigham Young, and No. 5 Texas.

Week Thirteen: December 1, 1990
No. 1 Colorado had finished their season. No. 2 Georgia Tech ended the year with a 40-23 win at Georgia. No. 3 Miami barely got past unheralded San Diego State 30-28, and No. 4 Brigham Young lost 59-28 at Hawaii. No. 5 Texas beat Texas A&M 28-27 on a failed two-point conversion by the Aggies. No. 7 Notre Dame, who had already finished their schedule, moved back into the top five in the final regular-season poll: No. 1 Colorado, No. 2 Georgia Tech, No. 3 Texas, No. 4 Miami, and No. 5 Notre Dame.

In a chaotic year where nearly every club had two or more losses, the top two teams were 10-1-1 Colorado and 10-0-1 Georgia Tech. The Buffaloes had an inferior record and were the beneficiaries of the referee's error in the Fifth Down Game, but they also played an extraordinarily tough schedule (their non-conference opponents included the champions of the Big Ten, Pac-10, and SWC as well as the second-place team in the SEC), while the Yellow Jackets faced easier opposition. As the champions of the Big 8 and ACC, the two teams were locked into the Orange and Citrus Bowls and were not able to play each other in a de facto national championship game.

Many of the bowl matchups were affected by unusual circumstances. For the second year in a row, the Orange Bowl organizers had invited top-ranked Notre Dame to play Big 8 champion Colorado in what they hoped would be a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup, only for the Fighting Irish to lose their next game after accepting the invitation; they had fallen to No. 5 by the time they faced No. 1 Colorado. The Sugar Bowl made an even bigger blunder by selecting Virginia as one of its participants, as the Cavaliers lost all of their remaining games after accepting the invitation and entered bowl season unranked. No. 11 Florida, the SEC champion, was barred from bowl participation due to NCAA sanctions, so No. 10 Tennessee (the only team to beat the Gators in conference play) took their place in the Sugar Bowl. The Big Ten finished in an unusual four-way tie for first place between No. 12 Michigan, No. 16 Illinois, No. 17 Iowa, and No. 22 Michigan State; the Hawkeyes, who beat all three of the other teams but lost to two lesser opponents, got the Rose Bowl bid against No. 8 Washington. The Cotton Bowl featured a relatively normal matchup between No. 3 Texas and No. 4 Miami, but the Fiesta Bowl, faced with a potential boycott over the state of Arizona's refusal to declare Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a holiday, had to settle for No. 18 Louisville against No. 25 Alabama. No. 2 Georgia Tech's Citrus Bowl opponent would be No. 19 Nebraska.

Bowl games
Although Miami had two losses, the Hurricanes would repeat as national champions if both Colorado and Georgia Tech lost while Miami won. The Hurricanes did their best, routing the Longhorns, 46–3, but the early morning 45–21 pounding of No. 19 Nebraska by Georgia Tech, closed the door on the Hurricanes chances and opened the question of whether Georgia Tech could possibly win a share if Colorado beat Notre Dame.

The wins by Miami and Georgia Tech ensured Notre Dame could not wind up as champion, but the Irish and Buffaloes fought to the finish with Colorado prevailing, 10–9, on a blocked extra point. With only 65 seconds left, it appeared Notre Dame had won when Rocket Ismail ran 91 yards with a punt return for touchdown that was called back on a clipping penalty. Deon Figures intercepted Rick Mirer's desperation pass to clinch the national title for Colorado.

UPI rankings shake-up
When the final votes were counted, Colorado had won their first national champion as voted by the Associated Press. The UPI coaches poll, however, saw a shake-up that resulted in Georgia Tech moving to No. 1 by one point. The deciding vote was cast by Colorado Buffaloes rival Nebraska's head coach Tom Osborne, the only coach who had played both teams during the 1990 season. Colorado beat Nebraska, 27–12, in Lincoln while Georgia Tech had beaten them in the Florida Citrus Bowl, 45–21.

This page is for general discussion in relation to the SMRT course. Please feel free to post your comments below.
I have a question for that I ran into while tallying passions throughout the day for week 1.
My answers naturally usually fall to something that's mostly under my control, but not completely. For instance, if I'm worried about completing everything on my to-do list for the day, may answer is usually "I can focus on the work right now and get as much done as possible." This is almost, but not completely under my control, since my focus can and indeed does often wander or get interrupted externally.
My question is: should I be satisfied with these "almost under my control" answers, or instead train myself to answer in the form of something that is definitely under my complete control, e.g. "I can think "X"" that can be done in an instant and are directly under my will.
The former types of thoughts seems a little more useful, although it occasionally does get frustrated because it's not directly under my control (but almost!), whereas the latter class seems more "Stoic" but does not always generate useful action steps.
Hello CmplxAdSys – My perspective on your question is that you should focus on things completely under your control. The trichotomy of control (things not, partially, or completely under one's control) is really a dichotomy of control, when you consider that those things partially under one's control can be separated into the the other two categories. So in the example of your to-do list (and I suffer the same dilemma of not accomplishing everything on mine, so I can relate to your question!), if it is getting to be late in the day and there are to-do list items left un-done, the important question is "what can you do?", and focus on that. Longer term, a better approach may be to separate to-do lists into sections like "must do", and "would be nice", and resolve to do all the "must do" items, fate permitting.
CmplxAdSys I don't know if you are still there. We have so many different streams of communication, here, it is a bit difficult to get around to each other. And I have just now located this query of yours after more than 10 days (my fault, of course).
Hopefully, you have come to terms with this problem to some initial degree so that it hasn't held you back. I don't mean to denigrate your situation at all, but it is a simple one. You just keep moving forward. I know it may not seem that simple to you at first, but it really is that straightforward. These are not complicated issues. They will work themselves out over time. Nothing comes together quickly, especially when dealing with matters of anger and anxiety. I am still dealing with anger issues after more than sixty years (don't be discouraged; I started late after many years of stubborn refusal and that hindered my progress; the earlier you get going, the easier the going gets…and it's all downhill once you begin the work, trust me). Anxiety disappears in exactly the opposite way a snowball builds, but you have to push it up a hill (and I know that sounds contradictory, but I'm talking about anxiety, not anger). It takes work. But every time you make an effort that effort counts, both towards the anger and the anxiety. Nothing you do eliminates that effort. There are no setbacks in your work towards your goal. There is no such thing as two steps forward and one step back. So whatever you do and whatever effort you make, today, tomorrow, whenever you can, it is toward your benefit. Just don't worry about it and don't worry while doing it. That's just a waste of your energy. Just do it (I didn't make that up). And let the work happen. If it seems to be satisfactory, then it is satisfactory. If it doesn't fit perfectly into some formula, Stoic or otherwise, today or some other day, maybe tomorrow it will. Maybe it never will. Is fitting into the formula important or is satisfying your need for improvement important? If the two match then fate will be on your side.


Is New Zealand's new extreme endurance race The Revenant too extreme?
New Zealand's answer to the Barkley Marathons, The Revenant, is a new running race in Southland set to test the limits of athletic ability and human endurance.
How far is too far? How long can you keep going, on your own, in an unforgiving environment? Just where does endurance end and misery begin?
As the number of extreme running races around the world rises, a new event in New Zealand is raising questions about what the human body – and mind – can withstand. The Revenant ultra-adventure race in northern Southland begins on January 18. Competitors will run close to 200km and climb 16,000m, without any assistance – no GPS, no support crews, not even a watch. Just a map and compass. And they've only got 60 hours to complete the distance. The chances are, none will make it. It's a fact Revenant organisers Scott Worthington and Leroy de Beer are candid about. "A true challenge is when failure is the most likely outcome," their website proclaims.
Their race is styled on the infamous Barkley Marathons, a 160km event in the United States which has been successfully completed only 18 times, by 15 different runners, since it began in 1986.
Here, the legs of Jim Nelson are cut and bleeding from the thorns of bushes throughout the Barkley Marathons course. Only 15 people have ever completed the run. Photo/Getty.
It's a premise that is being questioned by Auckland running coach James Kuegler, who earlier this year wrote a post on his website disputing the wisdom of most of those entering.
He still feels the same as he did when the race was announced, and has concerns the heat – or snow, the distance, the amount of climbing, the 60-hour time limit, sleep deprivation, and the need for exceptional navigation could be a recipe for disaster, or even death.
He believed the move to longer and harder races, was partly motivated by one-upmanship among race organisers, and meant inadequately prepared people might end up entering, and risked long-term burnout and injury.
Scott Worthington, a top adventure racer himself, insists they've carefully screened entrants and refused nearly 20 people. Those lining up were top athletes who were well aware of the scale of The Revenant's challenge.
"Look, this is not for everybody. It's not meant to be for everybody. But if you don't have certain humans pushing the boundary, a lot of what we've got today just wouldn't happen.
Even if Revenant competitors accepted they might not finish the race, their challenge was how far they could get this year, Worthington said. Revenant entrant Tim Sutton has raced against Kuegler in the Coast to Coast event, and says everyone starting The Revenant knows how hard it will be, and their bodies will ultimately tell them whether it was too tough.
"I'd say it would be the hardest running event in the country, and one of the hardest ones in the world.
Sutton, a Wellington furniture upholsterer and adventure runner, says he looks back to early explorers in New Zealand and gets inspiration from their incredible journeys in the wild.
Fellow Wellington entrant Jean Beaumont, who last year completed a 200 mile (322km) race in America, says running has evolved and the types of events people once considered almost impossible have become increasingly common.
Beaumont has never failed to finish a race, but accepts she might not complete The Revenant.
Auckland's Shaun Collins believes it is possible to finish The Revenant within the time limit, and is determined to prove it in January. And in that respect he doesn't agree that longer events are stretching human limits too far.
To that end, Collins, whose Lactic Turkey company organises running races, is planning a last-man-standing event in Auckland in May. Modelled on a race in the United States, competitors have to complete a 6.7km loop each hour. In this year's American race, the winner managed 68 loops, 455km, over nearly three days. He broke the race record by more than 60kms.
And perhaps therein lies the answer to the question of how far is too far. We just don't know – until we try, and then try again.

The King of Fighters 13 (XIII)
RoK the Reaper
No rank for you. :(
The King of Fighters XIII is the next installment of the King of Fighters Series. Supposedly, as I seen from a trailer, this is suppose to be the "Climax" of the Ash Crimson Saga. No one knows if he will take over Kyo's powers, but I assume he will because you can tell he's "Dark Ash" in the trailer, presented here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvvXuR89g-8
Overall, from what I seen in the King of Fighters XIII, it seems pretty good compared to the complete failure that was The King of Fighters XII. KoF 12 had a lot of things missing from it. A lot of things from the old King of Fighters. Originally this was suppose to be the KoF to complete the Ash Saga but it turned into something of a "Dream Match" but I seen no killed characters in it, and it only bolstered 22 characters, two more than the arcade version (I'm talking about the console version). The screens were horrible for versus, the sprites sucked on big screen TV's and the training mode, moves of characters, and suck ass online left a lot ot be desired. Also, one of the biggest attraction of KoF, the female Shiranui busty ninja, Mai.
Thirteen seems to try and bring back life into the dying King of Fighters franchise. EX Moves, Desperation moves, a knew mode that lets you go into when your MAX meter is full. Allowing you to cancel things infinitely, kind of like the Custom Combo system of KoF 12 but without being nearly as broken, as they have damage scaling in this game where they didn't in #12. An example of how broken this was can be found here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSywrQpJXo0 a lot of people, including me aren't missing the Critical Combo brokenness at all.
All-in-all, adding color palettes, new character, faster game play makes it reminiscent of the King of Fighters 2002, which is good. Better graphics, more stages (they only had 6 in KoF 12, and 4 of those were just night/day of the same stage) it's shaping up to be the revival that SNK is looking for, but only time will tell. I was hyped for the King of Fighters XII cause it looked good, but was a big let down and I ended up getting hooked on BlazBlue, something I wasn't even looking forward to doing and was mainly all about KoF until it disappointed. So, I won't be buying it or reserving it until I KNOW for sure that it has a working netcode and it's all that I think it would be.
At that time, I'll be sure to write another review when I get the game and give my personal thoughts on the hits and misses and if this is really just another nail in SNK-Playmore's coffin. Reaperman out.
Also, I was talking with DynaDASH and it appears she heard a Rumor of K'DASH and Kula Diamond being in. They are two of my favorite characters, and would be sure to be apart of my team. This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU4A3alvkHY&feature=related makes it seem as though they are, indeed in. If they are, then I would definitely pick of King of Fighters XIII the day it comes out, but I wouldn't open it until I read reviews and was confident in opening the package.
Also, in case you people wanted to see some location tests for the King of Fighters XIII, here's one that shows it off pretty damn well.

The change in stance is because of improved competitive environment and outlook on spread normalising compared to earlier expectations. The brokerage admits that favourable pricing dynamics due to industry supply shock (grounding of Jet Airways' aircraft, Boeing 737 Max issue) will continue near-term but expects industry capacity to improve over next 3-6 months owing to resolution steps underway at Jet Airways and system update to fix Boeing 737 Max issue. The stock after 28% rally in March compared NIFTY's 6% rise, is being valued at 18x FY21 EPS and leaves limited headroom, therefore, the brokerage is recommending to buy it on dips.

Belcar war eine Schweizer Automarke.

Unternehmensgeschichte

Die Fahrzeugfabrik Wollerau (ehemals A. Grünhut & Co.) aus Wollerau begann 1955 mit der Produktion von Automobilen. Der Markenname lautete Belcar. 1957 endete die Produktion. Insgesamt entstanden nur wenige Exemplare.

Fahrzeuge
Das einzige Modell entstand nach einer Lizenz von Brütsch. Es war ein Dreirad mit zwei Rädern vorn und einem Rad hinten. Das Fahrzeug hatte einen Gitterrahmen. Zunächst kam ein Zweitaktmotor der Victoria-Werke mit 193 cm³ Hubraum zum Einsatz. Später wurde ein Motor mit 250 cm³ Hubraum und 11,3 PS Leistung verwendet. Die offene Kunststoffkarosserie bot Platz für zwei bis drei Personen.

Ein Fahrzeug ist erhalten geblieben.
