1. Specific to the wrestlers needs and goals.
3. Take into account the equipment and facilities the wrestler has access to.
I've learned a lot in the 10+ years I have been designing lifting programs for wrestlers.
As a result, I've been able to see the effectiveness and carryover of a lot of exercises.
So, I decided to put together a list of the Top 4 lower body exercises to include in a lifting program for wrestlers.
Obviously putting them into a well-designed program is a whole other animal, but I do include a couple quick samples at the end.
Anyway, here are, in no particular order, my Top 4 exercises for a lifting program for wrestlers.
By the way, if you have a few bucks and you're looking for a program proven to improve your shot speed and power, then check out my $7 Programs page.
If there's one exercise I've found in my research to be positively correlated to shot speed it's the horizontal jump.
Specifically, the one that I tested and measured is the Seated Horizontal Jump.
Here's a video of the execution.
As your jumping distance increases, so will your shot speed. At least, that's what I have consistently seen in the research I perform at my gym.
Because I found the horizontal jump to be so effective, I've since branched off into other variations.
This is pretty self-explanatory. It's a single effort, just like the seated variation above.
Although I haven't measured this, I think it's safe to assume that this will be correlated to shot speed, just like the seated version.
I prefer the seated version for one big reason- I think it's slightly more functional.
No, you don't shoot from a seated position. But, you tend to do so from a state of relaxation. I feel as though sitting takes the tension off your legs and makes your body to produce a lot of force from a relaxed state.
But, to be honest, this is probably just a preference. I can't imagine there being much, if any, difference between the seated and standing horizontal jumps on shot speed.
Bottom line- as you increase your jumping distance, you will shoot faster.
A lifting program for wrestlers should definitely include these variations. Both have been a mainstay in my programs for a few years.
In fact, I had a super smart grad student perform some mathematical analysis on the correlation between the Triple Jump and shot speed. Based on his analysis, there was a 90% positive correlation. For more info, read- Two Proven Ways To Shoot Faster.
Anyway, this Horizontal Jump variation is great to include in your lifting program. It builds incredible power.
Specifically, it trains your body to absorb and redirect force quickly. This makes the Triple Jump great at increasing your speed when looking to put 2 shots together.
Additionally, I've read on other blogs that quite a few strength coaches see this as the #1 predictor of athletic ability. This may have been referring to the traditional Triple Jump performed in track meets.
While there are some differences, there are also similarities. So, I think it's safe to say this is probably a pretty good way to measure athletic ability.
This Horizontal Jump variation is a newer addition to the lifting programs I design. I've been having wrestlers use it for the last couple years.
A word of caution, though. Most coaches suggest having a double bodyweight squat before starting depth jumps.
I don't necessarily subscribe to that recommendation, but I want to put it out there. I think a better way to approach it is in terms of lifting experience and athleticism.
For instance, a wrestler may have a few years of lifting experience, but may not be a double bodyweight squatter. This would be especially likely if they have long legs.
Longer legs make the lifter have to move the bar a whole lot more. This is why the top squatters in the world are all relatively short.
Additionally, bodyweight factors in. For example, I've worked with a number of strong heavyweight wrestlers. Many of them squat between 450-550 pounds. However, they're also heavy guys. As a result, their squat is not technically a double bodyweight squat.
But, I think we can agree that these wrestlers would still be considered pretty strong, right?
The real determinant comes from the jump itself. You should be able to jump the same, if not more, distance than you would from a Standing Horizontal Jump.
If you're jumping considerably farther when performing a standard Standing Horizontal Jump, lower the height of the box.
If you're already at a low height, you're probably not a good candidate for Depth Jumps.
Spend your time focusing on Seated and Standing Horizontal Jumps. In addition, work on bringing up your leg strength with Box Squats and Prowler pushes.
If you really want to add Depth Horizontal Jumps to your lifting program, re-test them every few weeks. Once you meet the criteria above, you can start using them more regularly.
As far as the benefits go, this variation is very similar to the Triple Jump. It's going to build tremendous reactive power in your legs. Just make sure you keep the criteria above in mind and don't implement this jump before you can really benefit from it. Otherwise, you'll just be spinning your wheels.
One quick technical tip- focus on "attacking" the ground. What I mean by this is don't just look to step off, land, and jump. Instead, try to rush yourself to the ground and land in a position ready to jump. I focus on trying to pull myself to the ground. I know, it sounds weird. But that's what I do and that's what I suggest the wrestlers I train do.
Ultimately the goal of this focus is to simply help you to get off the ground quicker and more explosively. It's tough to explain, but when performing Depth Horizontal Jumps, focus on something like this. I'm sure you'll notice it increases your power output (distance you jump).
If you're looking to develop functional leg strength and power for wrestling, this is the best exercise. I used to think it was just good at making wrestlers puke. Then I did some thinking and realized it's great for other reasons.
You can go heavy with it to develop great leg strength.
You can go light with it to develop leg power.
The best part- all this strength and power is developed horizontally.
Think about how much vertical movement you do in wrestling.
Now think about how often you move horizontally.
While there are vertical components within a match, the great majority of the force you generate in wrestling is horizontal in nature.
And, if you're looking for optimal carryover to the mat, movement direction is an important consideration.
Generally speaking, the more specific you are with the direction and speed of the force you produce in the weight room, the more likely you are to have a better carryover to the mat.
Proper exercise selection and program design for wrestlers goes way beyond targeting muscles.
For example, yes you use your quads in wrestling.
And, if you perform Leg Extensions and get stronger, you may see a slight improvement in how you wrestle. This is especially true the younger you are.
However, you're not going to get nearly the carryover that you would if you were to invest your time performing a specific exercise like the Prowler push.
Here are my favorite ways to use the Prowler in a lifting program for wrestlers.
1. For StrengthA heavy Prowler push is a great way to develop functional leg strength for wrestling. I prefer using the "high" bars with a grip somewhere between the middle and the top.
Additionally, if I have a few wrestlers lifting together, I prefer to have them stand on the Prowler, rather than add weight. It makes turning it around a lot easier.
If you're lifting by yourself, turning the Prowler may be difficult. If that's the case, I suggest pushing the low bars to get the Prowler back where you started.
Don't get me wrong, I think pushing with the low bars is valuable. I just think that when you push with the high bars the angle of your body better matches the angles you'll be in on the mat.
As far as weight selection goes, the only thing I look for is if there is too much struggling. I do this simply for the sake of consistency and better measurement.
For instance, consider this scenario.
A wrestler Prowler pushes 500 pounds. This wrestler does so smoothly and without any stops. It's a challenging set, but again, there are no stops.
The same wrestler Prowler pushes 550 pounds. However, this time they stop 4 times.
In a nutshell, the push looks like it's going to kill them.
While I applaud the effort and determination, how can I be sure that wrestler is stronger?
I can't, because you can't compare the 2 pushes.
That's why I stress smooth pushes without any stops.
Another variation I have wrestlers use is a drag. I don't use it as often simply because I only have about 35 useable feet of turf in my gym. The attachments added to perform the Drag shorten this distance even more. So I tend to use this variation more when the weather is nice and we can go outside.
You can hook it up however you want. I prefer having a rope or Gi available to grab onto. It adds an additional grip element to the equation.
I used to have wrestlers perform drags with a chest strap attachment. However, once the weight got heavy enough, it put them on all fours.
Again, I don't think this is bad. It just resembles the low bar Prowler push. And personally, I don't think the angle your body is in matches how you are when you're in on a shot. This is just a personal observation.
I still think all of the pushing and dragging variations discussed above have a better carryover than squatting or deadlifting. Keep in mind- I don't think squatting or deadlifting are bad. I just think Prowler pushes and drags are better for wrestlers.
I mean, what's the reason you're following a lifting program?
To be a better wrestler, right?
2. For PowerProwler pushes are also great for developing functional power for wrestling.
You're driving off one leg at a time, just like you do when you take a shot.
And, with the right weight selection, you can maximize speed and power.
Selecting weight for speed is easy- just use the Prowler.
As you add weight, you're going to move slower, right?
Therefore, you'll maximize your speed at the lightest weight.
Improving your speed pushing the empty Prowler is going to more directly affect your ability to get in on shots.
Selecting a weight to maximize power output requires some math (and research).
I cover that in more detail in this post- The Missing Link In Your Program.
But, to summarize today, here's what I suggest.
Work with weights that are between 30-40% of your heaviest Prowler push.
Research has shown that for strength exercises like the squat and deadlift, power outputs are maximized in this range.
I know, I'm extrapolating from the research, but I think it's a safe assumption to make.
Training to maximize your power output is going to help to improve your ability to finish shots once you get in.
Anyway, I bet you can imagine sprinting with a Prowler. But what about sprinting with a Prowler while a "tough" Chihuahua chases and barks at you?
It may have sounded like I was bad mouthing squats and deadlifts earlier. But I want to reassure you that I wasn't. Both of these exercises are great ways to develop lower body strength and power. However, because the Prowler is a movement-specific exercise, I prefer to use that, especially during the season.
Unfortunately, not all wrestlers have access to Prowlers or pushing sleds. In those cases, I include Box Squats in their lifting programs. Hell, I include Box Squats in pretty much every program.
I write a ton about why I think Box Squats are the best squatting variation for wrestlers in this post- Strength Training for Wrestling- Box Squats. So I won't go into too much detail here.
But, to summarize, here are the top reasons I prefer them.
1. They are easier to measure. Unless you squat all the way down, there's going to be some variation in your squatting depth. Even my wife, who is an Elite level power lifter (the highest ranking) still has inconsistent squat depths and she's a high level squatter (300 pound squat at 132 pound bodyweight).
2. You don't get as sore. I know what you're thinking. You think you have to be sore to know you got in a good workout, right? Wrong. A properly designed lifting program for wrestlers allows for getting stronger without getting super sore all the time. How can you get the most out of practice if you're sore and not able to move well? Don't worry, you'll still build strong legs. You'll just be able to walk the day after lifting. Pretty cool, huh?
3. The Rate of Force Development (RFD) is 3-4 times greater than Free Squats. Why is this important? Don't you think you'd be more effective on the mat if you were to produce force faster? Well, compared to Free Squats, Box Squats are a much better option if this is one of your goals.
…By the way, this should be one of your goals.
To summarize, there's a reason why squats are in nearly every lifting program for wrestlers. As a matter of fact, squats are in nearly every lifting program I've ever seen, regardless of age, goals, or sport played.
The fact is, they work.
And, as far as wrestling goes, Box Squats work better.
In my opinion, they should be in every lifting program for wrestlers.
To be honest, any deadlift will work. I just prefer the Trap Bar when designing a lifting program for wrestlers.
I like it over a traditional deadlift with a bar for a few reasons.
Second, it puts the weight in line with your center of mass. This makes you more efficient from a biomechanics standpoint. It probably is a contributing factor to the lower rate of injury as well.
Finally, the biggest reason I have wrestlers use the Trap Bar in the lifting programs I design is because it's easier to perform Jump Deadlifts with. I've written a post on Jump Deadlifts before. Read the post here- Maximizing Your Power Output (Without Power Cleans). To summarize the post, Jump Deadlifts have higher power outputs when compared to Power Cleans.
Jump Deadlifts are also a lot easier to learn than Power Cleans. You know how to jump, right?
Here's a funny video from Jim Wendler. By the way, if you don't check out Jim's site from time to time, you should really start.
But seriously, if you Power Clean, how much different is your form from that?
I mean, it doesn't look like this, right? Specifically the hip extension portion.
How can you say no to an exercise that's easier to learn AND has a higher output than a Power Clean?
Listen, I'm not trying to insult anyone here and I'm also not in favor of taking the easy road. I'm just realistic. How much time do you think you'd have to devote to really learn how to Power Clean? I mean really. Where you get perfect triple extension like in the Klokov video above.
When I ask the competitive Olympic lifters at my gym if they thought it was time well spent for athletes to learn the Olympic lifts, they all answer no. They say that it's much better to spend your time jumping with weight and using the extra time to get better in your sport. I couldn't agree more.
I only have, on average, three 1-hour sessions a week with the wrestlers I train. I don't want to spend a good amount of that time working on technique when I can help them reach their goals a lot faster with simpler methods.
Power output is one of the top predictors of success in wrestling. And it makes sense, doesn't it? The faster you can produce force, the more likely you are to score, right?
Jump Deadlifts are demonstrated in research to produce higher power outputs. They can also be implemented in a lifting program on Day 1.
I just can't think of a good argument against NOT using them in your program.
Here are a couple sample lifting programs for wrestlers. Keep in mind that these are just quick, general examples of a couple ways to implement the exercises above.
If you're looking for progressive, ready-to-use lifting programs or for a personalized lifting program, check out my Programs Page.
This is structured for a wrestler during their last 2-3 months of the season.
This is structured for a wrestler who's in the off-season and looking to gain strength.
Again, keep in mind that these are just 2 quick examples I put together. I just included this section to give you a brief idea of some ways to program the exercises I detail above.
Listen, if you're reading my blog, then you're looking to maximize your speed, strength, and power so that you can win more matches.
The bottom line is, these are the best lower body exercises to include in your lifting program.
If you want to truly maximize your performance on the mat, then start using these 4 exercises immediately.

An Emma Story … One of my favorite memories of Emma is from when she was a little girl. She had gotten a puzzle – a child's puzzle with 8-10 wooden pieces – it was a farm scene I think. She had all of the pieces, and the idea, of course, was to put it all back together. But Emma was really struggling with that part. So, what she ended up doing was … She was sitting on the kitchen floor. She took all the pots and pans out. She got all the dish towels out. And then she made a little family of these puzzle pieces. She had them hugging each other. They'd go to bed in a pot. She'd cover them up with dish towel and all of that. That's probably the simplest story I can tell that is so typical of Emma.
This Emma Story is an excerpt from Donna's recent interview on Vincent Edward's radio webcast show, What Matters Most to You.
Listen to the entire interview – CLICK HERE.
A mama stork in an otherwise empty nest.
My oldest daughter, Sarah, is in Japan this summer embarking on an adventure with her boyfriend, which could become a forever thing. She moved back "home" when Emma died, slipping into the basement apartment just as my youngest son, Ben, was moving out to live with his then girlfriend, now wife, Alex. In a very real way, we have never been "empty-nesters" until now. Although this may be temporary, it has caused me to reflect on the differences between losing a child to death and losing a child to life.


I have done plenty of backlinking for various client's sites. Whether it be woodturning, beauty supplies, or clothing websites, I actually increased my ranking in the SERP's by just doing backlinking. I wouldn't advise it for every site – I would like to do backlinking and SEO for all sites that I work on, but there are times that my clients feel that their site is optimized tightly, and they request only one way links.
So how do I move a site up in the Google ranking in only doing backlinking? There are a couple things that I do – one is sort of a secret – but I'm going to reveal it anyway. I'm not expecting any SEO specialist to grab my ideas and use them against me. More than likely, they are competing in different niches, so I'm not worried at all.
One of the first things I do in my link campaign is look for relevant sites. Like I explained in my other article, Linking And SEO, if my client's site is about classic cars, I don't go to a forum or blog that is about pets and link from there, I go to a site that has a similar subject as my client's. Quality linking is not leaving a signature link from an irrelevant blog/forum. Google will not award you as much.
When I am on a relevant site, I make sure that this forum/blog is "DoFollow". I have a special tool on my laptop that will highlight links in red if it is a NoFollow link. I look at other people's sig links, and if it is highlighted red, I move onto another blog. I used to go into the source code and look for "rel='noFollow'" by the sig links, if there were none, then I would leave a comment. But those were the old days. The tool I use to show the NoFollow links in red is called "SEO for FireFox" – and obviously use the FireFox browser. This little tool has saved me so much time – and if I don't want to see any noFollow links when I'm not doing any work but just surfing the net for fun, I can turn it off. This is a must have for the serious minded SEO professional.
The second thing I do in finding new DoFollow blogs is by going to a Do Follow Search Engines. I type in my client's website subject and get a list of blogs that are DoFollow. Here is where I have to watch what site I choose. There are a lot of blogs that may have an article concerning that is relevant to my client's site, but the whole site is really about something else. I will still add a comment and leave a sig link there, but I still prefer a site that is totally relevant to my client's site.
After I start linking from different blogs/forums, I start going to a few directories. It's very true that Google doesn't look at directories as being effective anymore, in fact, some low rank directories Google could consider as spam. But there are some very reputable directories that are still out there, and it wouldn't hurt applying your site to them. I just wouldn't spend a lot of time and I never have made them a huge priority. Sure, you have DMOZ and Yahoo directories which will help your sites, but I'm sorry, if I have to pay Yahoo $299 to submit my site, I'm going to bypass it. Unless you have a client (or yourself) that's willing to plunk down that kind of money for one submission – fine. As for me, I'll make up for it by getting a few quality links and call it a day.
Social BookMarking Sites – my favorite backlinking technique. Why? Because I can build links from them very quickly. When it comes to the ones that I like least, it would be Digg and StumbleUpon. I know everybody goes crazy over these two big monsters – but remember – they are NoFollow BM sites. Sure, they are great for temporary traffic, but they won't do squat for you in the SERP's. I stick to DoFollow sites such as DZone, LinkaGoGo, BackFlip, and a lot more. Actually, for every social BM site that I have, on my FireFox browser, there is a button for each of them, so when I want to bookmark a web page, I just hit the button that is related to one of the BM sites, a box pops up – put in a couple sentences about the site you are bookmarking and boom! Your done. Move to the next Social BM button on the browser and repeat.
There is this one BM site I really love, it's called LinkVault.com – I have its button along with the other social BM buttons. I hit LinkVault – three seconds later, it automatically registers it. No logging in, no writing about what the page is, nothing! My absolute favorite right there! Plus, it has a high page rank!
Now we move onto article submission sites. These are very good as well, but a lot more work has to be involved. Again, as usual, make sure you grab high PR and DoFollow submission websites. These would be the likes of GoArticle and EZineArticles. Write an article about your client's site and then submit it to one of these sites. The end of the article should contain a one way link back to the website that you are trying to get a valuable link for. Now here comes the waiting part. EZineArticles, you will have to wait for about a week before someone approves your article. Sometimes, they may not approve the submitted article. They will usually tell you why. One time I submitted an article to Ezine and they didn't accept it. I half to admit – I didn't really put my heart into it, and I just did it to get a quality link. Well, needless to say, my article was rejected. Believe me, your not dealing with dummies here. If they see that you just put some words up in hope of getting a backlink – your going to lose and waste your and their time. Put some effort into the article, submit it, and more than likely, most article submission sites will accept your writing.
Now with GoArticle, it's a little different. Here you can post an article and a backlink and it automatically submits it. I still say, do a good job of writing. You don't want to have your client's website associated with a piece of crap article that you wrote. People do read these articles, so please do a good job.
This is about it for one-way links. It's a lot of hard work, but once you know where to go and what to do, you'll get better and quicker in posting articles, backlinks, and bookmarking your client's websites. Believe me, it will help your site (or client's site) move up in the SERP's.

Hi Guys I made a site that list boating locations in Florida. Please le me know what you think.
That's pretty neat, plenty of great information. Good job man.

Open Season Gets IMAX Treatment
IMAX Corporation and Sony Pictures Entertainment today announced that Sony Pictures Animation's first CG project Open Season, an animated feature from directors Roger Allers, the acclaimed director of The Lion King, Jill Culton, whose credits include Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc., and co-director Anthony Stacchi (credits include ANTZ) will be released in IMAX 3D simultaneously with the motion picture's premiere in conventional theatres on September 29, 2006. The …


They say that your sense of smell is most likely to invoke memories, and I suppose that would include taste as well since they're so tightly linked. Yesterday I picked up a box of Luden's Honey Licorice Losenges (something that is no longer available in Canada) and upon popping one in my mouth was engulfed in a childhood memory.
When I was 5 or 6, my family moved to Woodside, California or more precisely "The Junction"* of Skyline Blvd and Old LaHonda Rd. The area was just sold off for development in beautiful 1+ acre lots overlooking San Francisco Bay. The man who sold us this parcel of land was named Mr. Stadtler, and he roamed the area in a vintage open-top doorless Jeep.
One day after I walked up to the General Store - known as "Hank's" -- Mr Stadtler spotted me and offered me a ride home. Even then -- well before the SUV craze -- I recognized the Jeep as something cool. I hopped in, and he instantly offered me a Luden's Honey Licorice Losenge. Off we went in the open air, the flood of licorice flavor in my mouth, the wind in my hair, and the grinding noise of that old Jeep's gearbox in my ears. Sweet.
I wonder, is music as tied to memory as taste is? The reason I ask is that I had another flood of memories yesterday after throwing on an old UB40 album (the first one -- the one nobody seems to have heard of). Instantly, I was transported to 1979, to my third floor loft in my house on Euclid Street, sitting with Carl smoking joint after joint on a hot Summer's day. And feeling so numb and anesthetised. Please, don't anyone ask me to do anything. I'm way too S-T-O-N-E-D. Of course that was back when pot was weaker and cost $60/bag.
*"The Junction" became famous around that time for Hell's Angel's on acid, Ken Kesey, Hunter S. Thompson. I was too young to notice.. it was just where I got off my school bus.
You gots a turntable in that truck??
Yeah, you're right James. They're CD's now, aren't they? This just shows how old and old school I am.
yeah, music is very memory-rich. That's why they teach lessons in songs to kids (like the ABCs). And it seems esp when we're younger, songs and lyrics really stick and capture time.


7/30/2017: Butterfly Sanctuary at Brookfield Zoo! One landed on my head!

After my ravioli disappointment, I still had one more day to create a dish for the Royal Foodie Joust at the Foodie Blogroll. It was back to the drawing board, only this time I decided to keep it simple and stick to my original idea of roasting turnips and fennel together to make a kind of vegetarian hash.
By this time my whole family had clued into the effort I was putting into the Joust. "What do you win?" my son asked.
"That's it?" He was mystified.
I think there might be an apron and some other prizes, but really this wasn't even about winning for me. It was a challenge! And I loved the idea of creating an original recipe using ingredients some one else chose. It was more fun than pantry potluck and reminded me of the cooking challenges on the Food Network.
The three ingredients I had to use were fennel (in any form), dairy, and parsley. At the last minute I decided to top my hash with poached eggs, which added a sweet and subtle flavor that mellowed the turnip and turned a side dish into a main dish meal.
It was simple, but tasty and most of the ingredients were local. I bought the fennel and (famous) Eastham turnips at the Orleans Farmer's Market, the parsley came from my herb garden and the eggs were from Wingscorton Farm in Sandwich.
Maybe not a contest winner, but a satisfying meal. Can't wait to see what next month's ingredients are!
Peel turnip and cut into cubes. Cut top and core off fennel and slice, then cut each slice into bite sized pieces the same size as the turnips. Place in 8 inch square baking pan and toss with melted butter, salt and pepper. Roast in 350 degree oven for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Mix parsley into roasted vegetable hash and return to oven for five minutes. In the meantime bring 5 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add vinegar to water to help eggs set faster. Carefully crack eggs into boiling water and poach for two minutes or until desired tenderness.
Divide roasted vegetable hash between two plates. Put two poached eggs on top of each mound of vegetables.
What a wonderful hash recipe!
Yes, there are prizes! - an apron for first place - as well as an icon to put on your site and of course bragging rights! and magnets - for second and third place!
Hi Laurie: For the homemade pasta, try using your food processor, keep a damp dishtowel over dough until ready to roll, and only roll a small amount at a time. Good luck!
what a great way to make turnips! I would have never thought to use turnips this way. And now I know what we will have for brunch this weekend.
Best of luck in the joust!
Well kudos to your for attempting something for the joust! I always look at the ingredients and just decide that I'm too lazy to put too much thought into it! Looks fun though... maybe next month.
Laurie, you perseverance for creating good food is outstanding! And believe me when I say I understand about food not going the way you plan it. I have a small award for you on my blog!
Great entry! I think that looks really good. I can't do poached eggs nearly that pretty.
I think it sounds like a winner! It looks comforting and delicious!
I've always wanted to participate in the joust, but I just haven't gotten the nerve up. I totally know what you mean about doing it just for the sake of a challenge. I love your idea of poached eggs over the hash. I've always found runny yolk to add instant richness to any dish with very little guilt. Mmmm!

Sanders Urges Biden to Demand DeJoy's Resignation Over USPS "Sabotage"
Sen. Bernie Sanders called on Thursday for President Joe Biden's immediate resignation of Postmaster General Louis DeJoy citing the Republican megadonor's ongoing "sabotage" of the U.S. Postal Service and possible conflicts of interest.
In a statement, Sanders (I-Vt.) argued that "by any objective measure, Louis DeJoy, a top campaign contributor of Donald Trump, has been, by far and away, the worst postmaster general in the modern history of America."
Since DeJoy took charge of the USPS in 2020, Sanders said, "the quality of the Postal Service has been severely undermined" — a criticism that other lawmakers and advocates have leveledOver the past year and half, the postmaster general has rushed ahead sweeping changesYou can mail nationwide
"Tragically, the situation has only gotten worse since Mr. DeJoy began implementing his disastrous 10-year plan to substantially slow down mail delivery, cut back on post office hours, shut down mail processing plants, and dismantle mail sorting machines," the Vermont senator said Thursday. "Senior citizens have experienced massive delays in receiving the lifesaving prescription drugs they desperately need and working families have been forced to pay late fees because it is taking much longer than normal for the Postal Service to mail their bills."
Sanders went on to warn that the Biden administration's newly announced plan to distribute 500 million free at-home coronavirus tests could be undercut by "the deterioration of the Postal Service under Mr. DeJoy."
"How can anyone have confidence that these life-saving tests will be delivered to the American people in a timely and efficient manner? I think the obvious answer to that question is they cannot," said Sanders. "The United States Postal Service is a vital part of our economy and our way of life. We need a Postmaster general who will strengthen the Postal Service and expand it, not undermine it and sabotage. It is long past time for Mr. DeJoy to go."
Given the serious crisis at the United States Postal Service and the failure of the leadership, I am urging President Biden for the immediate resignation from Louis DeJoy, Postmaster General. pic.twitter.com/j8oQGRzLaE
— Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders) December 23, 2021
Sanders' demand came weeks after Biden moved to replaceRon Bloom, John Barger and John Barger were two DeJoy loyalists at the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors — the body with the power to remove the postmaster general.
If the Senate confirms Biden's nominees to replace Bloom and Barger, the president's picks will have a majority on the nine-member postal board and enough votes to oust DeJoy, who is reportedly under FBI investigationHis past fundraising activities.
Despite the firestorm of criticism he's received over his performance as postmaster general and alleged financial conflictsDeJoy stated previously that he is not planning to leave his job any time soon.
Asked during a February congressional hearing how long he plans to remain postmaster general, DeJoy responded: "A long time. Get used to me."

National Bank of Canada Pilots Blockchain-Based Trade Contracts Tool
Melanie ClayOctober 24, 2018
The National Bank of Canada is pushing forward with its goal to use blockchain in its trade finance services to improve processing times, reduce risk, and improve business relationships.
A recent pilot with IT consulting firm CGI and blockchain technology company Skuchain has produced a blockchain-based negotiation tool for use in the financing element of global trades. CGI says it will be "enormously effective" in the standby letter of credit and guarantee process, which secures trade contracts.
Streamlining an existing process
Standby letters of credit and guarantees are the conditional agreements which secure financial deals and form part of B2B (business-to-business) contracts in industry and trade. They are issued by banks in order to prove a purchasing client's credit quality and ability to pay. They are also a fallback or "payment of last resort" to protect the seller if there is an issue or failure to fulfil the terms of a trade deal or other contract.
These letters of credit and guarantees are currently sent by email, which increases the risk of errors and delays. The process lacks transparency of trade and finance terms and the approval status of these contracts, said the press release.
CGI has integrated its CGITrade360 trade finance platform with Skuchain's blockchain built Contract Builder. Skuchain's Contract Builder uses the startup's "Brackets" smart contract platform.
Skuchain is a California-based blockchain startup aiming to bring blockchain to an $18 trillion dollar international trade sector.
The development will allow the National Bank of Canada to provide digital, blockchain-based, letters of credit and guarantees as part of their banking services to global trade clients.
"In particular, customers will be able to initiate, conduct and conclude negotiations of standby letters of credit and guarantees entirely on smart contracts that can intelligently construct agreements and securely communicate any changes in terms to relevant parties," said the release.
The new system uses pre-approved templates and automates the coordination required to issue a standby letter of credit or guarantee. It also improves the visibility of the process, increases security, and improves collaboration.
"This will enable us to offer a simple, fast, and efficient experience to our commercial clients which facilitates managing their business," said Patrice Roy, Vice President, Payments, Cash Management and International Solutions at National Bank of Canada.
Roy also believes the pilot project is a "great opportunity to leverage blockchain technology."
First live implementation for BAFT's Distributed Ledger Payment Commitment (DLPC) Working Group
The pilot is also the first live use of the Distributed Ledger Payment Commitment (DLPC) standard which has been the subject of a Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT) working group for two years.
The Vice President of Technology for Skuchain, the National Bank of Canada's blockchain partner in the pilot, Ranganathan Krishnan leads the DLPC working group for BAFT.
The DLPC group is publishing best practices for the implementation of blockchain into the payment commitment element of trade instruments and facilitating the adoption of these digital advancements.
"It is expected that the DLPC rulebook will be the gold standard incorporated into business network rulebooks to support negotiable payment commitments on a distributed ledger," said Krishnan.
Trade contracts and finance is not the only implementation of blockchain technology that the National Bank of Canada is investigating. In April 2018, working with J.P Morgan, it tested a $191 million blockchain debt transaction as another "important milestone" in progressing blockchain technology.
This pilot is further example of how close actual working implementations of blockchain technology in finance, trade, and indeed in Canada, are becoming as blockchain embeds as a mainstream technology.

Ella turning a long-term dream into reality
Ella Harte, 24 has recently moved into her new Metropolitan home at New North Square, Hainault. Describing getting the keys as the best feeling in the world after becoming an aunty, the Londoner explains about the challenges most young professionals in the capital face when it comes to buying their first home:
"I'd been looking for 6 months and had nearly given up when I received an email about New North Square and called the Metropolitan Sales team immediately. Funny enough, I was told I wasn't able to afford the scheme initially but after speaking to a Specialist Financial Advisor recommended by Metropolitan, it turned out I could buy 75% of the property, which I did"
Ella's story is probably one that we hear about quite often these days. Sharing a house with another 6 people, Ella always wanted to have a place of her own and that was her motivation to open a savings account and start putting money aside.
"I used to live with my mom but had to find a place to rent nearly a year ago when she sold her house and moved out of London. I rented a place in Leytonstone as I grew up the area and wanted to stay here. Also I work at Liverpool Street so I needed a place on the Central Line. I didn't like sharing with so many people and renting felt like I'm throwing my money away. I wanted a place of my own in the area but everything was either sold too quickly or I couldn't afford it. This is partially why buying through Shared Ownership was my best option. "
"I didn't know much about Shared Ownership" – continues Ella. "I found it all quite confusing but Metropolitan and the Specialist Financial Advisors helped me to get my head around it'
Ella used Specialist Financial Advisors recommended by Metropolitan which made the process from reservation to exchange last around 6 weeks. She waited another four months until she received the keys for her new apartment.
"Despite me being only 24, I started thinking about buying a home long time ago and it makes me really proud that I've achieved something I wanted for a really long time. It feels amazing to have your own space and knowing you're not paying someone else's mortgage is one of the best feelings. I also love cooking so having a kitchen for myself makes me extremely happy."
Ella's long term future plans are to staircase up to 100% once she has saved enough money to do so. For now, she wants to get the place fully furnished and invite a few friends over to celebrate on the roof terrace.
New North Square is a Taylor Wimpey development in Hainault, where Metropolitan offered 15 apartments for Shared Ownership sale. All homes came with fully fitted kitchens and bathrooms, carpets in living rooms and bedrooms, tiling in the kitchens and bathrooms, private balcony and communal roof terrace.

Imps v Millwall 1982
June 2, 2017 Gary 1980-1989, From the archives, Lincoln City 7
The cries of 'going up' are not familiar sounds to be heard at Sincil Bank, but anyone joining us this season might be forgiven for thinking they're a staple of the fans repertoire. At certain times in history they have rang out loud and proud across the hallowed turf though, and December 4th 1982 was one of those occasions.
Millwall were the visitors on that wintry day, and yours truly was just 4 years old and probably more inclined to sit at home playing with bits of his body that he didn't fully understand. My old man went though leaving my Mum to handle the inquisitive 4-year old and his brother at home.
City were really at a peak in their modern history at this point. We were top of the old Third Division, now League One. We were four points clear of Huddersfield in second place, and we had a game in hand. The belief was that Lincoln City were heading back to the second tier for the first time since the early sixties, and who could blame the fans for thinking that?
In Glenn Cockerill and Gordon Hobson we had two real magicians, young, hungry and both destined for First Division football in their careers. They jinxed past defenders utilising a mixture of pace and trickery, the like of which you rarely see in the lower leagues, not from both flanks. Of course, that's no good if you don't have good players around you, and the likes of Derek Bell were more than happy to score goals for fun.
At the back it was a different story. By December we'd only conceded four goals at home, the iconic duo of Trevor Peake and Steve Thompson provided a wall that was rarely penetrated by opposing forwards. From numbers 1 to 13 we oozed class, pace and skill. Promotion was a formality, surely?
Millwall, 1982
The trouble came when you dipped beyond number 13 in the squad, because there wasn't one. The game against Millwall saw a debut handed to new signing Gordon Simmonite, a forward who joined from Blackpool to become the clubs 14th professional player. Imagine that, top of League One with just 14 players to choose from.
Not only that, but a gruelling two legged match with West Ham had just taken place, concluding six games in the Milk Cup. Add that to the one FA Cup tie (3-0 defeat by Hartlepool) and three Football League Trophy matches as well, and Colin Murphy was approaching a squad selection crisis. The signing of Simmonite was hoped to be the first of a couple.
4555 were in Sincil Bank to watch the visit of Millwall, Fifth from bottom and under the watchful eye of a caretaker manager, Barry Kitchener. It wasn't a classic period in the Londoners history, Sam Allardyce was captain but there were few players of note. They weren't quite as hard-up as City though, in the summer they'd splashed out £150k on striker Trevor Aylott, and he was in the line up for them.
City lined up that day: Felgate, Carr, Neale, Cockerill, Peake, Thompson, Hibberd, Turner, Hobson, Bell and Simmonite, with schoolboy Stuart Hall on the bench.
Predictably it was The Imps who pressed early, looking every inch the champions elect even at that early part of the season. Hobson and Cockerill terrorised their opposing defenders, twisting and turning down the flanks looking to provide some crosses. It was from the head of Trevor Peake that City almost took the lead.
Trevor Peake
Peake's initial header was blocked but the rebound was collected by Glenn Cockerill. He created some space for himself in the box before delicately lobbing the ball back into the danger area. Peake caught it with a second header, not unlike a Sean Raggett effort, but it dropped just wide.
Gordon Hobson hit the bar with a curling effort from just inside the box before City finally took the lead after 30 minutes. A ball down the line by David Carr was missed by Millwall defender Paul Robinson, and Glenn Cockerill took full advantage. Despite the attentions of two blue shirt he managed to get a low cross towards the penalty spot. Bell took a swing and missed, but managed to compose himself to bring the bobbling ball back under control. His second bite of the cherry was far more successful, rifling in through a crowd to give City a deserved 1-0 lead.
Going up, going up, going up
The Imps second on 43 minutes was one that wouldn't look out of place this season. Phil Turner had a throw-in back in the Imps half, and he found Hobson down the line. Hobson laid it back into the path of Turner, and he played a cute ball into the channel. Robinson came across to defend the ball from Derek Bell, but only succeeded in playing it up and across his own back four. Phil Neale saw it early, held off two defenders and made no mistake from fifteen yards out. 2-0, and City were cruising.
Not long after the restart Sam Allardyce committed a foul that, these days, would possibly have resulted in a red card. He went through the back of Derek Bell, winning the ball only after clattering the player. Bell didn't protest, referee Alan Saville didn't brandish a card and the free kick didn't offer any goal threat. You have to love the 80's, all burly hatchet men with big moustaches and a vicious streak.
Allardyce protests his innocence after fouling Bell.
Millwall soon pulled one back with a well worked goal. Andy Massey played a long ball into the channel for Dean Horrix. He burst down the line and aimed a cross at Trevor Aylott, but it was Massey who stole in the clip a header past Felgate to bring Millwall back into the game. He had tracked the run all the way from the halfway line, it was agoal that would have pundits purring from 1982 right through to 2017.
The Londoners were getting a foothold in the game and began to hunt for an equaliser, but it was City who secured all three points late on. As we waited for free kick out near the corner flag the referee cleared the very-eighties phenomenon of toilet paper from the pitch. Steve Thompson made his way up front to add a physical presence, as did his partner in defence, Trevor Peake. The whipped ball found Peake who nodded down for Thommo, and he struck a superb volley at goal. It beat Paul Sansome, but Robinson was on hand to clear the ball, or rather it hit him as I'm not sure he knew much about it. It dropped invitingly in the six yard box, rolled back towards goal and towards the hapless Robinson again. He pushed it away only for Cockerill to scuff a shot goalwards. Somehow it took a deflection and crept through a melee of four Millwall players and over the line, sparking jubilant scenes around the ground.
Allardyce was lucky not to have his name taken shortly after another hard challenge from behind, this time on Glenn Cockerill, but his efforts were in vain. City took all three points to maintain their grip on the title race, now five points clear of their nearest rivals with two games in hand. Just a few days later First Division Norwich City were beaten in the Football League trophy, and the next home game was won 9-0 against Bournemouth What could possibly go wrong? What could possibly silent the chants?
Just five months later we languished in sixth place, six points adrift of Huddersfield in the third promotion spot. Injuries had attacked a threadbare squad, the beleaguered chairman had resigned amidst death threats and the 'team that Murph built' began to break up. Millwall visited Sincil Bank again in the final of the Football League trophy, winning 3-2 to leave us empty handed after such an impressive start to the season.
Millwall have visited Sincil Bank on just three occasions since. In 1983 Phil Turner and Steve Thompson scored to give us a 2-2 draw, but attendances were dwindling with 3190 watching. The following season we succumbed to a 1-0 defeat, this time just 2681 came along to watch. Finally on February 13th 1999 we hosted them for our Nationwide Division Two match (now League One), when a rare Tony Battersby goal was added to by Steve Holmes to give us a 2-0 win in front of over 4500 fans. That result appeared to give us hope of avoiding the dreaded drop after just one season, but alas, it was not to be.

So, Sean's going then.
League Two latest (June 2nd)
Ian Plenderleith
If I remember correctly, commentator Barry Davies had an alarming fixation with Glenn Cockerill's thighs during this game. Mentioned them on several occasions (which was odd, as Thommo's were twice as thick again). The squad size is astonishing now, but no one paid it much attention at the time – it was the tail-end of the age where you turned up expecting to see more or less the same XI every week. It was still a magnificent team in a tremendous season, but when we failed to go up it was a certainty that most of that team would leave for higher divisions, which was where they deserved to be.

My first full season of following the Mighty Imps, we were flying I remember the next home game even better when we beat Bournemouth 9-0. If only the board had backed the manager things could have been so very different. Glenn Cockerill is still my fave Imp and his goal against Brentford that season still sticks in mind as clearly now as a 44 year old as it did as a 10 year old.


If you take a moment to think about how your computer is accessing the internet, you'll notice that it isn't as simple as it sounds. Every LAN and WAN must follow strict specifications to function correctly. As a result, every good networking technician or student should know how to cable LANs and WANs.
Cisco requires that students become familiar with the difference between Ethernet 10BASE-T, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet. You must know when to use each when cabling at the end-user level, workgroup level, and backbone level.
Note that backbone cabling (cable running from network to network) needs higher performance, since it is the part of a network that gets the heaviest traffic. End-users don't need as much bandwidth, since not as much traffic is being directed. Although one could argue more is better, you will generally see that more is also increasingly expensive.
When we cable a LAN, there are two networking models we follow: peer-to-peer and client/server. Each model has its benefits and drawbacks, of which networking students are required to know.
The more popular of the two, client/server, makes use of a server. This server is simply a machine that performs requests for computers on the network. It might handle print requests, store information, or send email for computers on the network.
Whereas the client/server model has a central point of authority, the peer-to-peer model functions without any certain authority. Instead of the server, we have the lot of networked computers. As you can probably tell, this can easily lead to security risks, instability, and they certainly don't scale well as networks grow in size.
In general, there are a few things that Cisco demands students remember about these two models.
2. Peer-to-peer models don't scale well- meaning as your network grows, you'll be in a predicament to keep resources stable. The client/server model scales much more easily.
3. Peer-to-peer models don't require any extra hardware- just network a few computers and you're up and running. The client/server model will obviously cost a bit more to maintain.
4. Client/server models are centralized- meaning a single administrator can grant or deny rights to certain content with ease. This can be done with peer-to-peer networks, but with much more difficulty. Peer-to-peer networks can easily become quite unsecure as a result.
A WAN, or wide area network, simply links between routers and switches. The internet, for instance, is the biggest WAN in existence. LANs and WANs not only differ from what they are used for, but how they are created. Instead of the common UTP or STP media, we'll instead use a serial connection.
There are two sides to a serial cable: the DCE and DTE. The data communications equipment, or DCE, is considered to be the provider- and thus, a clocking rate needs to be set on the router that receives this end. The data terminal equipment, or DTE, is considered the client- and should not be set with a clocking rate. This clocking rate will ensure that bits are transferred in a synchronized order.
Note that one of the most common mistakes when connecting serial cables is confusing the DCE and DTE ends. Often, they aren't labeled. The DCE side will be the "female" side, while the DTE side is "male." Keep in mind that if the clocking rate is set on the DTE side instead of the DCE, the connection will fail.
Don't worry if this seems unfamiliar to you- right now, all we need to know is that DCE is the provider and needs a clocking rate set- while the DTE is the client. We'll cover these topics again when we delve into router configuration.
Luckily, this is all you need to know about configuration of LAN and WANs at this point in time. You'll notice that this material corresponds to the CCNA 1 Module 5 exam. If you are indeed a Cisco networking student, be sure to bookmark this content for future reference.
