Orange prices are currently high across many markets, for a variety of reasons depending on the locations. The popular citrus fruit is traditionally in high demand in the winter seasons on the Northern Hemisphere due to its health benefits, such as the high levels of vitamin C it contains. Due to the hot temperatures and droughts in growing countries such as Spain and Italy, for instance, there are currently gaps in supply on the markets, which has led to higher prices, particularly in Europe. The prices are further pushed up by a lack of larger sizes, also due to the heat this summer.
Netherlands: Positive market development for oranges
The situation in the orange market can be described as good at the moment, according to a Dutch importer. "The beginning was a bit stiff, but the disappearance of the last South African oranges on the market and the colder weather has positively influenced the market. Prices are at a level between 13 and 15 euros for the larger sizes, but medium-sized oranges are also well paid at 11-13 euros. The supply is not too great, which increases demand. Egyptian oranges are not on the market yet, but I don't expect low prices from those either this season."
Another importer also confirms the good demand for oranges. "Hand oranges are mainly medium sizes 60-70-80-90, the larger sizes are still very limited in availability. We expect the first Salustianas from Spain next week. We expect the market to remain stable from Spain in the coming weeks."
Germany: Varied supplies of oranges on market
A wholesaler reports that there are currently certain gaps in the supply of Spanish oranges. "There is very little availability of oranges of the seasonal main variety Navelina, especially in calibres 1 and 2, so the larger sizes. From calibre 3, on the other hand, the fruits are available in sufficient quantities."
Meanwhile, Valencia Late, Midknight and Delta Seedless were still available from South Africa and were primarily purchased for juice production. Their presence was limited. The first Turkish Washington Navel entered the market, but they generated limited attention.
Italian Navelina had a complementary status, the untreated fruits cost between € 1.40 and 1.75 per kg. Overall, the wet and cold weather had improved the accommodation possibilities on several occasions. However, this rarely had an impact on valuations. Instead, the sellers were mostly able to confirm their previous demands. The first Spanish Cara Cara are expected at the end of the week, and the Italian blood orange campaign will also start soon with the first batches of Moro.
France: Lack of volume on the market leads to sustained prices
Sales are not very dynamic despite winter temperatures. The supplies of imported oranges from further afield, particularly those coming from South Africa, are currently ending. We then find on the market the origins of the northern hemisphere such as Spain and Portugal. This campaign is characterized by a lack of volume on the market, which leads to sustained prices. "However, the demand, even in the face of a more limited supply, is not there," says an importer at Rungis.
In terms of quality, Portuguese and Spanish oranges are very good this year. The Maltese from Tunisia, should arrive around January 10 but the 2023 harvest should show a decline of 30 to 40 %.
Belgium: Demand towards holidays good, but supply limited
As the weather turns colder and we head towards the end of the year, demand for oranges, and in fact all citrus, is growing again in Belgium. "We notice that it is traditionally a good period for citrus. They are obviously excellent for the necessary vitamins with these cold days and people always seem to want to look for a bit of summer with citrus around this time anyway," says a Belgian trader. "However, the supply is somewhat disappointing. South Africa has gradually disappeared from the market and from Spain, due to the summer's drought, far fewer volumes are coming our way. Moreover, it has also caused the sizes to be a bit smaller than other years. The good demand does result in reasonable prices at the moment."
Italy: High temperatures and droughts affect orange production
"The sale of oranges is minimal both in Italy and abroad, mainly due to the weather conditions and thus the absence of winter temperatures. At the moment, out of five pallets of orders, four are for clementines and only one for oranges. A lack of enthusiasm that leads to prices being almost the same as for clementines, compared to the classic difference of about 0.20 €/kg. Demand is expected to pick up again starting in January, just as has been happening for some years now." This was reported by a company in Apulia that processes and markets citrus fruit.
As far as Sicily is concerned, while the campaign for blood oranges, with prices ranging from 0.45 to 0.60 €, started a few weeks ago, a distinction must be made for the red variety. "The blood orange campaign will in fact officially start on 19 December, with the harvest and marketing of the Moro," a producer says. "The pigmentation of our product is linked to the temperature range. In this period, we have had very hot days and, only a few days ago, we had a temperature range suitable for the fruit to ripen. So making price forecasts now is still impossible. The market for the Sicilian blood orange, especially the PGI orange, is international. We want to increase market share in Europe: France, Germany, Switzerland. Once we have consolidated these positions, we will be ready to conquer other non-European markets as well."
Another Sicilian producer says: "The citrus campaign is 15 days late, due to the high temperatures recorded up to 20 days ago. The summer drought has resulted in citrus fruits being of medium-small size. In terms of marketing, we started the campaign for red-fleshed Tarocco oranges in week 49/50, with volumes 25% lower. In a situation of crisis and price increases in every part of the production chain, we are working to find the right balance between a higher remuneration for production and an effective collaboration with retailers, with a view to enhancing Italian production. It is not easy, because unlike competitor citrus-producing countries like Spain, in Italy agricultural companies cannot avail themselves of any support on the side of energy price increases."
Spain: Orange production down 19.9%, still most popular citrus
Oranges will experience the greatest decrease of the citrus range, with declines of 19.9% over the previous campaign and 15.7% when compared to the average of the last five campaigns. The excessive rainfall during the flowering and setting phases of the fruit, the extremely high temperatures in later stages, and the restrictions on irrigation, particularly in Andalusia, the main orange growing area where the drop in production will be of 30%, are determinants of this low production. Nevertheless, oranges will be the most produced citrus as usual, with 3,010,491 tons, approximately 50.4% of the total citrus production. 75% of oranges are within the Navel group.
The orange campaign started a little later than usual, with a clearer market for fruit from the southern hemisphere compared to last season. The drought has brought a significant amount of small sizes, causing the big calibers (1 and 2) to be the most desired and the best paid. There is a lot of demand for sizes 1 and 2, which are making much higher prices than small and medium-sized oranges. In the month of November there were still stocks of overseas oranges, mainly oranges for juice, which hindered the Spanish exports somewhat, except for large sizes, while table oranges stocks have been 'cleaner' compared to the past year. Now in December, the presence of oranges from the Southern Hemisphere is no longer noticeable.
Egypt: Production and quality of oranges up this year
This season's volumes are higher than last year, with an increase of at least 8%. The quality is really good. There aren't any big quantities of large sized fruits, small and medium sizes are more present. For oranges, there is demand for large sizes coming from Russia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brazil, Vietnam, UK, Poland, Netherlands, and small orders from China. Demand for medium sizes is mainly from the Middle East, India, and African countries. For small sizes, there is interest from the Maldives and Mauritius. Egyptian production this year has achieved a substantial quality improvement, especially due to the cooler weather during September and October compared to the same period last year. The weather has reduced the exposure to insects and significantly and naturally improved the quality of products, their aesthetics, and taste.
China: Weather affects yields and taste
Weather conditions, in particular drought, caused fruit trees to suffer and has diminished yields of oranges in China. As a result prices are 10 % to 20% higher than last year. Another side effect is that some of the fruit tastes sweeter than in previous, less dry, seasons. The yield has decreased, but the quality increased. In other regions, including Chongqing, the harvest has been plentiful.
China's orange production has grown from 2.3 million hectares in 2016 to 2.7 million hectares in 2020. According to the World Citrus Organization, China is the world's third-largest orange producer with 7.5 million metric tons in the 2021/22 citrus season. China is also the largest Asian citrus importer at 520 thousand metric tons. A new development in the international market is that Iran's Northern province plans to start citrus exports to China.
A set of challenges are resulting in low productivity and stagnated return on investment generate by citrus production. These include insufficient high-end citrus varieties, few products on the market to meet different taste preferences, single marketing channels, underdeveloped fresh-keeping technology and supply chains resulting in a high rate of citrus damage and waste, low degree of planting standardization and weak awareness of ecological agriculture and increased planting costs.
North America: Steady supplies and strong prices for Floridian oranges
Supplies of oranges continue to be steady out of Florida. "We've got plenty of early and mid-season and Valencia oranges this year," says one grower-shipper, adding that supplies of juice oranges look similar to this time last year.
He also notes that the season started on time this year for Florida. "Then we had the two hurricanes (Hurricane Nicole and Hurricane Ian) and the rain events that interrupted our start – they did slow things down a bit for those weeks and the weeks after," says the grower-shipper. However, he notes that given the impending forecast, they were able to pick ahead and still maintained fruit supplies.
As for fruit specifications, he also notes that colour on the oranges is improving. "Our early Hamlin oranges always start with poor colour but currently we have pretty good colour on them," he says. As for sizing, it's peaking on 100s with the average run being approximately 50 percent 100s, 15 percent 80s, 25 percent 125s and the balance is 138s.
Along with Florida shipping oranges, California is also shipping navel oranges right now (a product that doesn't necessarily compete with juice oranges). Mexico has also started production. "However, we haven't really felt that yet – they're mostly on the West Coast," says the grower-shipper.
Meanwhile pricing has been stronger on oranges this season which has affected demand somewhat. "The pricing will is likely to stay on this level because the juice market is short on oranges," he adds.
Looking ahead, Valencias are on track to start between mid-February and early March – however this year is going to take a bit more planning. "It's going to a bit tricky because the early mid-seasons are going to finish beforehand so we're trying to figure out now how we close that gap," says the grower-shipper. "We think we may have some solutions to run the mid seasons through early February and switch to Valencias probably in the second week of February. The season for us goes until mid to end of July and we'll probably end right on time."
Argentina: Exports of Argentine oranges to Russia fall by 69%
Exports of Argentine oranges have experienced a significant decline in 2022. According to the latest report from the Citrus Association of the Argentine Northwest (ACNOA), with data up to week 40, the country had exported a total of 60,328 tons – 37 tons in the last week analyzed, in which the peak of shipments this season had been widely exceeded -, registering a contraction in exports of 22.10% compared to 2021, and very far from the almost 161,000 tons that, according to FAOSTAT data, it exported in 2010.
Europe has been the main destination for Argentine oranges this year, concentrating 50.5% of shipments to date, but with a drop of 19.14% compared to shipments in 2021. Latin America received 35.6% of the oranges marketed to date, acquiring 37.92% more fruit than the region bought in 2021; the logistical complications to export the fruit would be behind these larger shipments to the region. In third place is Russia, which, with a 7.3% share, registered a year-on-year decrease of 69.10%. The Argentine citrus industry has also suffered the consequences of the war in Ukraine in one of its main markets in recent years. Russia as a country previously ranked as the third most important destination, only behind Europe and Latin America, which, let us remember, are blocs each made up of more than twenty countries.
The rest of the destinations for Argentine oranges received the remaining 4,000 tons, although jointly experiencing a decrease of 60%; in the case of China and Hong Kong, shipments were reduced entirely.
The drop in exports this year also coincides with the contraction of the area planted with citrus in the important Argentine citrus province of Tucumán, which, as INTA has recently revealed, has fallen after years of constant expansion. Specifically, the area devoted to citrus cultivation registered a decrease of 3,878 hectares compared to the previous campaign, corresponding to a reduction of 7.46%.
"The causes of this decrease could be related to the drop in profitability experienced by the activity during the last two campaigns, mainly due to low prices of fruit for industry, lower volumes of fresh fruit exported, gradual increase in production costs, competition from other markets and the national and international socioeconomic context," summarizes the INTA in its report.
Australia: Trade agreements boosts export opportunities for Australian oranges to India
Australian orange growers were given a boost with the announcement that tariffs to India for citrus will be cut in half later this month, following the finalisation of the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement (AI-ECTA). Peak industry body, Citrus Australia, noted that India is a key focus for the country's growers, with exports of Australian citrus as high as 7800 tonnes to the country in the past. That number is set to rise in the coming years – and the tariff reduction will help drive growth opportunities by making Australian citrus more competitive against other suppliers including South Africa. This agreement will allow Australian citrus exporters to export oranges and mandarins to India under a tariff-reduced quota system. The current 30 per cent tariff will reduce to 15 per cent once the agreement enters into force. The reduced tariff applies to the first 13,700 tonnes annually. The quota system will be managed by the Australian government and more details will be provided to the industry when available.
Overall, Australian orange production is valued at $437.6 million for the year ending June 2021, according to the Australian Horticulture Statistics Handbook from Hort Innovation, with 473,697 tonnes produced (39% sent to be processed, predominantly for juicing). Australia is a net exporter of fresh oranges and growth in volumes over the last three years has an average of 187,247 tonnes exported per year. Japan is the biggest single destination for Australian orange exports (37,625 tonnes), followed by Hong Kong (33,587) and China (31,684).

Channel 5 - Preview
Main Content Last Revised Tu 2-Dec-98
In February 1997 there were only four UK networks. With a fifth channel about to launch, I made a film to mouth off about the fact that in order to get a watchable picture from the new channel I had to fork out for a new aerial. As part of the item, I interviewed Channel 5's Chief Operating Officer, whose first words to me were, "Hello, I've read your web pages."
Thanks to Sean Hughes for the images.

TEASE Channel 5 is a national service and it's free.
But will you be able to see it where you are?
And if so, how much will it really cost to get a good picture?
Roger Bolton
Studio This week the newspapers have been full of stories about the future of digital television, which is just around the corner. Which corner is never made clear. However, Channel 5, the last of Britain's terrestrial channels, will definitely be launched at Easter. Although Five will be free, not all viewers will be able to receive its pictures. Andrew Wiseman is one Right 2 Reply viewer who was hoping to tune in to the new channel but now thinks he'll have to fork out for a new aerial.
Opening piece to camera. Back in October on Right 2 Reply, a viewer tried to find out all about the new programmes that will be coming up on Channel 5. Also last year, I set up a web site on the internet to try and find out all about our new channel.
Includes shot from behind showing Andrew flicking through channels, demonstrating clear pictures from other channels before reaching Channel 5. Now you might not care about Channel 5, but the chances are, if you live in a re-tuning area, you won't be able to ignore it. Already during test transmissions, viewers are reporting that they can't watch their videos anymore.
So with the launch of Channel 5 only weeks away on Easter Sunday, perhaps it's time for an update.
Voiceover On its launch date,
26% of Britain will
NOT be able to
receive Channel 5.
Includes outside shots of Channel 5 advertising hoardings. Channel 5 has clearly stated that around 9 million homes in various areas of the country will need re-tuning to avoid interference.
But what they haven't mentioned is that even if you have been re-tuned, there's still no guarantee you'll get a good picture.
Andrew makes the tea and settles down to watch Channel 5. My video doesn't need a visit from the re-tuners because my area's not a re-tuning area.
And now my local transmitter is broadcasting test transmissions.
Camera pulls out from TV screen. Andrew is seen in reflection. As you can see, the picture is grainy to say the least.
And that's because the Channel 5 signal is one hundred times weaker than the signals from the other four channels.
Camera pulls out from C5 web page.
Torch is shone at camera.
Fade to white as lamp is shone at camera. I did learn something from Channel 5's web site. My transmitter at Sandy Heath is firing on 10 kilowatts. They don't mention however that BBC, ITV and Channel 4 are on a 1000 kilowatts for the same area from the same transmitter. That's like comparing this torch with this lamp.
Back in the living room. Now there is something I can do about my reception.
Tim Jenks
Technical Executive,
CONFEDERATION OF AERIAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED
The frequency allotted to Channel 5 is a lot lower in signal than the four existing ones, so what is going to have to happen there is the Channel 5 signal will have to be lifted by means of an amplifier, but also filtered so we don't amplify the other four channels.
Andrew It's all so simple isn't it? And it's only going to cost me, so I'm told, a hundred pounds.
Tim Jenks If everybody wants to watch Channel 5, we estimate, based on figures the ITC gave us, that around three million households would have to invest in upgrading their aerial.
Andrew leans purposefully in to shot (!) Why haven't Channel 5 been clear about this from the start?
Chief Operations Officer, Channel 5
The key thing is that we want to remove interference first as a problem, and that's what the re-tuning exercise is fundamentally about. But equally in our call centre we do make clear to people about reception, what may need to happen with aerials. And yes, you're absolutely right, there are a number of people who may need new aerials.
Andrew How much is this extra equipment going to cost?
Ian Ritchie Well again, the quality of aerial that you have to buy, whether it's a question of sticking it up a further piece of scaffolding or whether it's actually buying a different aerial, can range from anything, as I understand it, from sort of £50 to £150, in terms of the cost of the equipment.
Closing piece to camera. Precise details of the Channel 5 programme schedule have yet to be confirmed. But I can only hope that the quality of the programmes will be better than the quality of the pictures.
Studio Amen to all that…

The Religion and Political Views of Robert De Niro
De Niro was raised by a former Catholic and an atheist and his grandparents had him secretly baptized into the Catholic Church. He now seems to be agnostic at least, perhaps even atheist.
De Niro is a long-time, devoted supporter of the Democratic Party.
Robert De Niro was born and raised in Manhattan, New York.
De Niro's father was raised a Catholic, but when little Robbie was two years old, his father announced that he was gay and his parents got a divorce. His mother was raised Presbyterian but quickly confirmed that she was an atheist upon adulthood. De Niro's parents did not want him baptized into the Catholic Church, but during their divorce, he stayed with his devoutly Catholic grandparents who had him baptized in secret.[1] It's safe to say that if De Niro is anything, he's a Catholic, but he doesn't seem to practice and he doesn't want to talk about it.
De Niro is a private man. He doesn't like to be interviewed and on the rare occasions that he does grant an interview, reporters are given a list of off-limit topics, which includes religion, politics, his family, or wine (which he apparently loves).[2]
Still, De Niro has played a disproportionate amount of Catholic characters in his movies, likely due to his association with devout Catholic director Martin Scorsese. De Niro once even played a Catholic priest in the film The Mission, which was hailed by Catholics as an honest and complimentary portrayal of a man of the cloth. But he didn't want to play Jesus in Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ, saying:
Last Temptation, was something I was never interested in doing. But I did tell [Scorsese], 'If you really have a problem, if you really want to do it, and you need me, I'll do it. If you're against the wall and have no other way, I'll do it as a friend.[3]
Eventually, Scorsese got Willem Dafoe to play Christ, but it did bring up questions as to De Niro's true feelings about religion. Does he possibly find it objectionable. He did once say:
If there is a God he has a lot to answer for.[4]
So it's reasonable to assume that first, De Niro questions the existence of God and second, he questions the omni-benevolence of God. I'm going to call him an agnostic, though he might be full-blown atheist.
Is there an Italian Party?
De Niro has been granted honorary Italian citizenship,[5] so his loyalties don't only lie in U.S. politics. Though he's not known to get involved in Italian or EU politics.
He has been known to get heavily involved in U.S. politics, however, and when he does it is only for the Democratic Party. In his lifetime, De Niro has donated over $70,000 to the Democratic Party.[6] But that's not all. De Niro campaigns for his favorite candidates. He's officially endorsed Al Gore in 2000, John Kerry in 2004, and Obama in 2008. During the Clinton "Monicagate" scandal, De Niro even lobbied Congress to not impeach the president.[7]
In 2008, De Niro spoke at an Obama rally, saying:
I've never made a speech like this at a political event before. So, what am I doing here? Finally, one person has inspired me. Guess who.[8]
Obama, that's who!
Still an Obama supporter in 2012, De Niro got himself into a little hot water and was called a racist by Republican presidential candidates–particularly Newt Gingrich–when he said at an Obama fundraiser:
Callista Gingrich, Karen Santorum, Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white first lady?[9]
Can someone tell me what that even means?

Carell, despite making his rise to stardom as a phony political correspondent, won't discuss his real political views. Carell was born and raised a Roman Catholic and is still devoted to his day.
Pacino has supported Democrats financially and expressed a liberal view toward sexual orientation. Pacino was raised an Italian Catholic, but it wasn't a powerful force in his family. Now, he's probably an agnostic.
Clooney is a proud liberal and has lent his star power to many causes. He's spoken out against war, poverty, environmental issues, and more. Clooney was raised a Catholic, but has since proclaimed himself an agnostic, bordering on atheism.
MacFarlane is a big supporter of the Democratic Party and Obama. And in this case, big means big money. He's a liberal who supports gay marriage, liberal immigration policy, and the legalization of marijuana. MacFarlane was raised a Catholic, but turned that into a joke by the time he was 11 years-old. Now, he proudly claims atheism.


The Border Security Force (BSF) of India detained two Bangladeshi men near the Lalmonirhat border.
According to local sources, Milon Hossain and Monjur Rahman, resident of Durgapur in Aditmari upazila, had crossed over the border into India to procure cows. Whether they intended to legally purchase the cows or smuggle them in could not be confirmed.
They were allegedly at a local panchayat campaign rally when the BSF caught up to them.
The BGB commander said he held a flag meeting with his BSF counterpart where he was informed of Milon and Monjur being handed to the Indian police by the BSF.


This month marks two years that we have lived in our current house.
When I found out that I was pregnant with our second child, the 1000-square foot home that we then occupied suddenly began to feel claustrophobic as I imagined another person sleeping (or not sleeping) in it. First world problems, I know.
We began looking for houses with more space, focusing on the ones with a fourth bedroom. Technically, we didn't need it, but my husband and I (okay, mostly him) wanted a guest room so that we could open our home more frequently to others. We found the perfect place in less than a month. It had been on the market for 12 hours when we bought it, and it had its own private guest bedroom and bathroom.
For weeks before we moved into our new home and for months after, we prayed for ways to tangibly bless others through this gift that we get to call "ours". We had neighbors and coworkers over for dinner and had showers and parties here. My parents and other friends passing through town would occasionally sleep in the fourth bedroom.
And then there was Kayla.
In October, this 18-year-old came to stay with us. She had aged out of foster care and was not in a good living situation, so when she asked me if I knew of anyone who was looking for a roommate or had an extra bedroom for rent, I could almost literally hear God whispering to my heart: "Mary Rachel, you do."
Of course, I needed to address this situation with my husband, but after some prayer, he only asked one question about it. "Do you trust her with our girls?" Yes.
Kayla moved in about a week later.
From the very day that she brought over her few possessions, the devil's attacks began. Her stuff doesn't match yours. Your house isn't going to always look perfectly put together anymore (like it ever did with two small children running around). She has a cat. MR, you don't like cats; they stink and they shed. She doesn't have a car. What an inconvenience! You work with her; you're never going to have any "alone" time. All four of us have to use the same bathroom so that she can have her own. How annoying! It's already SO LOUD in here, and we're adding another person to the noise level. Your parenting is constantly going to be on trial before someone else. She's going to see this circus that is your home and judge you. You aren't good enough.
On and on the struggle went to hear the voice of truth louder than those other voices feeding lies into my head. As my lips spoke words to her such as, "Kayla, you aren't a burden to us. We want to help you," I realized that I was trying to preach them to myself, as well. "Mary Rachel, she isn't a burden to you. You want to help her."
Kayla stayed with us for four months. She got a car, and her previous living situation improved so that she felt safe in returning to be with her only family. As quickly as she was here, she was gone.
In the past few days since Kayla has moved out, I've been trying to process these recent months.
I think that it is challenging to invite a non-family member to live in your house, regardless of who it is. I am a private person, and I love comfort and my own space. Any invasion of those things by anybody is going to throw me for a loop. Layered on top of all of that was the fact that Kayla, though sweet and earnest, is a teenager with a dysfunctional upbringing, and I felt completely lost in my own home.
I never questioned that we were doing what God called us to do. He has given us far more than we need or deserve, and I believe that he expects us to be generous with our home and our time. But, it is one thing to have this idea in your head of what generosity looks like and quite another to be so generous that your lifestyle actually has to change. When generosity and good stewardship begin to make me slightly uncomfortable, I want to run. And in this case, there was nowhere for me to go.
That's the number of days I have left on this earth, assuming that I've been given 70 years. I recently began "numbering my days" (Psalm 90:12), and admittedly, there have been far too many of the past 120 when I've shuffled into the bathroom that I shared with three other people, marked off another day, and resented my lot in life. 15,092 is a lot of days, and it isn't. The 120(ish) days that Kayla lived with us definitely wasn't a lot, and, regrettably, I spent many of them feeling sorry for myself and being annoyed with a situation that I chose. If you've been reading this and thinking that I'm an awesome person because I opened my home to a teenager who didn't have one, you just got a peek into what's really in my heart. It's gross.
That's a multi-faceted answer, and I might have responded differently depending on the day that you asked me.
Partly, I wanted our girls to notice us opening our doors and making outsiders feel welcome. Those little people are watching everything we do, and I was hopeful that they would witness a glimmer of hospitality and aspire to imitate it one day.
I also longed for Kayla to experience a functional family that loves each other. I knew that we weren't perfect; however, I thought that we could show her something unique. Conflicts were inevitable, but I yearned for her to see forgiveness and healthy resolution following them.
In short, I wanted to change Kayla's life during her time with us. Perhaps she would be so inspired by our gracious living that she would be a radically different person when she walked out of our front door than when she walked into it.
I don't know if Kayla learned a single thing by living with us (except for how much crying there is up in this place), and I'm not sure that she needed to. Maybe that wasn't the point. In my reasons for inviting Kayla into our home, I was hoping to see change in everyone else, but I think that what God was after was change in me. (Isn't that usually how it goes?) I'm stubborn, selfish, and ungrateful, but perhaps I'm the tiniest bit less that way than I was when the fourth bedroom became occupied in October.
This I know for sure: Not one of His seen or unseen plans during the past four months was ever thwarted by my apathy and complaining. And that's really good news for everyone involved.
"I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will accomplish all my good pleasure.'"

MarTech » Customer & Digital Experience » Marsbot is Foursquare for AirPods
Marsbot is Foursquare for AirPods
Its augmented reality for your ears.
Greg Sterling on October 26, 2020 at 10:02 am
Foursquare began life as a gamified social "check-in" app, which offered helpful tips for others as they competed to become "the mayor" of local venues. It evolved into a local search purveyor but after adoption plateaued and investors grew restless, the company pivoted to location intelligence. And although the Foursquare app continues to exist it's now primarily a first party data source for the B2B analytics business.
Clippy meets Her. With Marsbot, company founder Dennis Crowley has effectively reinvented Foursquare for audio. Dubbed "an experiment," Crowley calls it "a lightweight virtual assistant that proactively whispers local recommendations (and other fun snippets) into your headphones or earbuds as you're walking around." With tongue somewhat in cheek, he describes Marsbot as a cross between the original Foursquare, Microsoft Word's Clippy and the virtual assistant from the film "Her."
Right now Marsbot is only available for iOS but an Android app is coming. It's a mobile app, but most of the action happens in your earbuds.
As users walk around town, Marsbot "will proactively whisper things to you that you may find interesting." Things in this case can include places, buildings, public art or people. If you allow it, the app will announce to other Marsbot users that you're nearby and vice-versa. People can also record audio snippets about places that others will hear.
Marsbot for iOS
A basic use case involves being in a restaurant (at some point in the future) and getting tips about menu items in your ear. It will also alert you without a prompt that there are other interesting places close by. However, users must be in or very near places for Marsbot to activate.
100 million users on deck. This is essentially the same vision Crowley had for Foursquare, transplanted to AirPods. He often spoke in the early days of the company about "making cities easier to use." Marsbot seeks to leverage Foursquare's local data and user-generated content to fulfill that promise via augmented reality, which isn't limited to your smartphone's camera.
There may be more than 100 million people in the U.S. who own AirPods or an equivalent set of earbuds. That's an already massive installed base of potential users.
A virtual assistant in your earbuds that can make you smarter or enhance your experience of the world is more compelling than glasses (see Google Goggles). You also don't need to invoke Marsbot with a "hotword" like "Hey Google." It uses your location — right now it has to be "always on" — to trigger audio notifications.
The idea is inspired; the execution will be key to whether people adopt and use it. Regardless, Marsbot points the way toward a new category of augmented reality audio apps that offer all sorts of intriguing possibilities.
Why we care. The marketing implications here are fairly obvious: brand awareness or local ad opportunities tied to location. Once in a venue, the user could also be prompted to take advantage of a special offer. But monetization will follow adoption if Marsbot can get that far.
Getting the user experience right, however, will be tricky. What's more, currently marginal use cases such as notifying you about nearby friends could become dominant. Hopefully Foursquare will stick with the app. It could also become a model for a host of new audio AR experiences.

Welcome back to the next installment in my blog series on how to start a blog. In the last segment, I delved into domain names and all the nitty gritty details that are part of that conversation that you probably didn't think mattered until you read through that post. However, having explained in detail all the considerations that go into the domain now it is appropriate to transition into it's complimentary better half.. the hosting.
What do you mean by hosting.. more commonly known as website hosting ? Well I know that when I got started several years ago I had no idea what anyone meant when I was told I needed good hosting for my website. If you're a novice like I was.. a domain was probably all you thought you needed to get things rolling. To explain it is to basically state that hosting is what gives you the ability to make your website or blog accessible by others through a central location where the data for your blog is housed. Without the hosting, your website will not be accessible by anyone so the hosting is a mandatory requirement for your website in order for it to be seen online. The hosting that we'll be talking about for the sake of this blog post is dedicated hosting. This type of hosting doesn't require that you retain any hardware other than your computer, but does require that you familiarize yourself with server administration once you've chosen a solution that is right for you. I can tell you first hand that exploring the administrative end of your hosting account does take a little getting used to but it's not that complicated to navigate with a little practice.
There are three solutions that I will recommend and discuss with you in this segment. While I know there are far more than 3 options online for website hosting, I prefer to only speak about companies with which I have dealt with personally and in this case one other from a blogger that I respect and thereby feel confident about that particular recommendation of which I will get into later. Nevertheless, the information provided here is solely for the sake of providing good recommendations to you.
As you have discovered in other recommendations and reviews I've made on this website, I consistently air on the side of recommending services I have used first hand that will provide value and benefit to my readers. So with that said, my three website hosting solutions to discuss are the following: Squarespace (which is currently used to host this website), Bluehost website hosting and 1&1 hosting. Now with that said, everyone has their own opinion about what is the best web hosting provider and the purpose of this information is not to "sell" you on either recommendation. I intend to layout information that will help you make a more informed decision regarding what you feel may be the best option for your own website. Even if you elect not to choose any of the following solutions I've had experience with, I can tell you confidently, particularly for our purposes that these hosting providers are consistent and solid so without further adieu let's discuss each one.
Squarespace as I mentioned above is the website host that I chose for the candidwriter website. In regards to a few positives, Squarespace has a good reputation for being visually appealing. What has helped them reach the notoriety they've received is in part due to how appealing their themes are. As a blogger this is important to you because visuals are a huge aspect of the work that you will be doing. A blog without visuals that grab the attention of your visitor is a blog in trouble.
Another area where Squarespace excels, while at the same time considering the recent news of the mobile friendliness algorithm implemented by Google, is the disclosure they made on their own blog that they are indeed "mobile friendly" (e.g. MF) meaning it passes Google's mobile friendly test in the wake of the new algo. This is important because websites that are deemed mobile friendly are ranked higher than those that are not and that's great news for Squarespace users.
Additionally, using Squarespace allows you to perform all necessary SEO related tasks such as changing your url slugs, titles, description information that is looked at by the search engines, the ability to change or add to the existing code on your website, connect social accounts, the ability to edit your content "on the fly" without switching in and out of an editor and provides other popular integration options as well and even more importantly when you need assistance, you always get a timely response from their support department.
With respect to cons to using Squarespace, it's lacking a more competitive feature set in the area of exporting of your website, but for the sake of not getting too wordy and nerdy on this one.. just know this is might be a deal breaker for some. Additionally, Squarespace does not make it easy at all to make your blog or website multilingual. There are some workarounds but it's no simple task by any stretch of the imagination. I also want to note that if you're going to use this web host, there are no free plans and for those that want to add a shopping cart.. Stripe is the only option for handling payment for now.
Bluehost is a hosting solution that is well known and used by popular blogger, Pat Flynn. With that said, I have composed a video to demonstrate being able to set up a Wordpress blog using Bluehost in just 6 minutes. It's a LIVE video from getting your domain to actually writing up a brief "first blog post" on your new Wordpress blog. So for those that are on the fence about how to actually get going from step 1 to completing the process, it serves it's purpose as a place of reference if this is the solution that you choose. As a bonus, you can get it half off their regular monthly fee here: Bluehost at 50% off of their regular monthly fee.
FYI, you can't click the link in the video so you'll have to click the link above this video to get the discount ! Enjoy.
This one is a web host provider I've used for a couple websites before trying out my current web host provider. For those that have experience in hosting, you may think I've gone bonkers recommending 1&1 with their mixed reviews, but I do so because I have personally never had any issues through 1&1 and in my opinion, it is another solid solution for your web hosting needs. 1&1 is also one of the more well known hosting solutions around since they've been in the business since 1988.
The nice thing about 1&1 is that they are consistent and they are trusted because of their longevity. I will reiterate again that having used them personally I've never had any bad experiences and their support was always responsive to any questions I had. Their server response times seem to be on par with what I've experienced with Squarespace and there were never any lags in page loading performance that raised any red flags for me.
1&1 is also pretty inexpensive for those looking for very affordable website hosting at .99 cents a month on their best deal. So for the reluctant buyer, this is a way to get your feet wet without making a dent in your wallet. It may not have all the bells and whistles of Squarespace but it's a great introduction to website hosting.
Now, what you may not love so much about 1&1 is that for some reason they haven't jumped on the live support bandwagon so there's no live support through this platform. If you need support you will have to call them directly which is not a problem, but it's still something worth mentioning upfront. The other area that you probably won't fall in love with is their interface on your administrative side.. It's definitely lacking in that arena.
While I start to close this segment, I'd like to add this... that as a word of note and caution.. in spite of them being "extremely" affordable, I "have not" heard good things about Hostgator. I have not used them personally so I can't use my own experiences to verify this statement, but given the overwhelming poor feedback regarding this hosting solution.. if you consider it.. you're using it at your own risk. Now if I'm wrong about Hostgator, I will retract this statement in this blog post. So in conclusion.. if you've had positive experiences with this provider, I would certainly invite you to share in the comments section as well.
Stay tuned for the next segment.. there's more to talk about in this blog series on how to start a blog with 500% success rates.

Rent a Recreated Version of Van Gogh's Famous Bedroom on Airbnb ~A Chicago Art Institute Project
Moving the art viewing experience from a linear surface to a three-dimensional environment, the Art Institute of Chicago is launching an interactive experience alongside their latest exhibition—entry to a full-size replica of Van Gogh's painting The Bedroom. The room, available on AirBnB starting today, includes all the details of the original painting, arranged in haphazard alignment to imitate the original room.
The installation was built to celebrate the exhibition "Van Gogh's Bedrooms," a show which centers aroundthree paintings of his domestic space he created from 1888 to 1889. The exhibition also serves as the first time the paintings will exist within the same space in North America. The first of the three paintings was produced shortly after moving into his "Yellow House" in Arles, France, yet suffered water damage soon after its completion. Van Gogh painted two other versions of the paintings to preserve the composition, one while at an asylum in Saint-Rémy in 1889 and the other as a present for his mother and sister.
Visitors will experience an immersive journey back to Van Gogh's Yellow House, which is located outside of the museum's campus in Chicago's neighborhood of River North. The bedroom runs for just $10 a night and is part of a larger apartment. Dates will be released through the posting monthly and fill up quickly.
"Van Gogh's Bedrooms" features approximately 36 works by the artist and will run through May 10, 2016. Make sure to keep updated on new listings for Van Gogh's bedroom on the Art Institute of Chicago's Facebook and Instagram page here.

One of the most important and influential designers in history, Hans J. Wegner (1914-2007) is commonly credited as a driving force in the midcentury Danish modern movement—an era that forever changed the way the world looks at furniture.
Born in 1914 in Tønder, in Southern Denmark, Wegner was the son of a shoemaker. From 1928 to 1932, he was apprenticed to the cabinetmaker H.F. Stahlberg; at the age of fifteen, Wegner made his very first chair. He studied at The Danish School of Arts and Crafts (1936-1938) under Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen before going on to work as a designer in Arne Jacobsen and Erik Møller's noted architectural office. During this period, Wegner also designed furniture for the Åarhus City Hall in Denmark and began working with master cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen, as well as Michael Laursen. In 1940, he designed a rocking chair for Laursen, which became Wegner's first mass-produced chair. Wegner opened his own studio in 1943 in Gentofte.
Championing modernism, craftsmanship, and Nordic functionality in combination with the unexpected influence of Chinese furniture, Wegner designed over 500 chairs in his lifetime. Over 100 of these were produced, and several became icons in the international furniture design arena, including: the Peacock Chair (1947); the Wishbone Chair (1949); the Round Chair (1949)—which the American magazine Interiors called "the world's most beautiful chair" (and was featured in the first ever televised presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon in 1961); the three-legged Shell Chair (1949)—which was designed for MoMA's historical competition on low-cost furniture; Papa Bear Chair (1950); Flag Halyard Chair (1950); Dolphin Chair (1951), the Valet Chair (1953); Ox Chair (1960); and Wing Chair (1960). His designs were at once functional and graceful; his solid wooden chairs, for example, featured limbs that elegantly tapered and curved, and which were often paired with woven rattans or leathers. Wegner utilized traditional construction techniques, mixing materials such as plywood, metal, upholstery, caning, and paper cord.
While he is best known for his chairs, Wegner also created memorable cabinetry, desks, tables, beds, and lighting fixtures. Over the course of his career, the designer collaborated with several renowned manufacturers, including AP Stolen, Carl Hansen & Søns, Fredericia Stolefabrik, Getama, Fritz Hansen, Erik Jorgensen, Louis Poulsen, Ry Møbler, PP Møbler, and Andreas Tuck.
Wegner's furniture is included in the permanent collections of the world's most respected museums. He is also the recipient of many prestigious awards, including the Grand Prix at Milan's Triennale in 1950, the Lunning Prize in 1951, the Eckersberg Medal in 1955, and the 8th International Design Award in 1997, among others.
Wegner passed away in Copenhagen in 2007 at age 92, leaving a remarkable legacy of design and craftsmanship for future generations to enjoy. His designs, vintage Wegner chairs in particular, fetch high prices at auction houses and are in constant demand by vintage lovers and art collectors alike.

Camping Checklist
homeamericasstateparks_m73g8u2020-01-22T00:53:28+00:00
Welcome to America's State Parks
We are so fortunate to have so many great state parks in our country. The natural beauty across our 50 states is amazing. No matter where you are, in any or our states, you will probably find yourself just a short distance from one of the thousands of State Parks or other natural recreation areas. It may even be a challenge trying to decide which one to go.
"Those who find beauty in all of nature will find themselves at one with the secrets of life itself." – L. Wolfe Gilbert
Our goal is to help you plan your trip to enjoy the natural beauty our state parks provide. We provide information regarding the state parks including, what to do, camping, picnic spots, fishing, hiking, boating, bicycling, snowmobiling and more. There are so many outdoor activities you can do. You can make memories of a lifetimes with your family and friends.
I always worry that I am going to forget something when planning a camping trip. I am sure I am alone. Having a camping checklist of gear and supplies you may need is helpful. That's why we put together our complete checklist and guide of items to consider when hitting the outdoors for your next camping trip.
What is a State Park
State parks are established to preserve the natural beauty, historic sites, and provide outdoor recreational activities across the United States. State Parks as the name implies, are managed at a State level as opposed to a federal level like the National Park System. In many regards State Parks are very similar to National Parks. The real difference is in who manages and maintains the parks. State Parks tend to be smaller than National Parks, but that is not always the case.
History of State Parks
It all started with Niagara Falls State Park in New York and dates back to 1885. While that is the first official state park, there were several other parks that were maintained at a State level. Many State Park systems were established in the 1930's. This came about through a federal jobs creation program which resulted in around 800 new state parks.
State Park Highlight: Custer State Park
Custer, South Dakota
Custer State park is a beautiful mixture of rolling plains and granite peaks popping up from the landscape. There are over 71,000 acres in the Black Hills of South Dakota. This makes it one of the largest state parks in the country.
This amazing park is well known for its roaming bison herds, numerous wildlife, beautiful scenic drives, historic sites from the wild west, fishing, resorts, campgrounds and more.
The Custer State Park is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
Visitors traveling from the city of Custer should take US Hwy. 16 east. Visitors traveling from Hill City should take State Hwy 87 southeast. Visitors traveling from Keystone should take US Hwy. 16A south. Visitors traveling from Hermosa should take State Hwy. 36 west. Visitors traveling from Hot Springs and Wind Cave National Park should take State Hwy. 87 north.

State Park Facts
According to the National Association of State Park Directors, there were over 807 million visitors who spent time in America's State Parks. That is a significant number considering it is more than double the entire population of the United States. Our park system is a huge draw for tourism.
Of the visits to state parks, more than 90% of them day time uses. Overnight users of the state parks still represent over 66 million people each year. People are drawn to state parks as outdoor recreation areas. While the parks only represent 2% of the total recreation space in the US, the state park systems claim more than 30% of recreational visitors.
Here are the 2018 Statistics from the State Park Operations AIX
8,565 state park areas comprising 18,694,570 acres
14,672 trails over 52,603 miles total length
221,367 campsites ranging from those with multiple hookups to primitive sites in remote locations
8,909 family cabins & cottages; plus 856 group facilities
156 lodges in 27 states with 6,483 rooms
122 golf courses

The new Royce and Pam Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center features two stories and 113,000 sq. ft. of gleaming new equipment, with broad windows looking out onto the campus. The center is part of the expansion and renovation of Abilene Christian University's (ACU) former Physical Education Center. The university took great measures to expand its wellness offerings for students, and to bring all on-campus wellness facilities, including the Medical Clinic and the Counseling Center, under one roof. The new center will also serve as home for offices and classrooms of the Department of Exercise Science and Health.
As a part of the newly enhanced wellness and recreation facilities, the design team of Counsilman-Hunsaker, The Tittle Luther Partnership and Marmon Mok renovated the existing six lane 25-yard competition pool which included entirely new mechanical systems. The competition pool and support spaces were updated to maximize usability for a wide variety of programs, including the extremely popular intramural sport of "waterball" which is unique to this pool and campus. Adjacent to the competition pool is a new 3,000 sq. ft. recreation pool. The goal for this pool was to offer a multitude of program, recreation, and socialization opportunities within a relatively compact aquatic footprint.
Depths ranging from 3.5 ft. to 12 ft.

Home Jewish Problem Jew Holocaust Hoax Monument to Be Built Next to British Parliament
Jew Holocaust Hoax Monument to Be Built Next to British Parliament
The Holocaust hoax is the gift that keeps on giving for the Jews. There are literally endless numbers of memorials and monuments that have been setup memorializing something that never happened.
This is why they've lobbied for laws throughout Europe to criminalize questioning their official hoax narrative surrounding shower room gas chambers, soap and lampshades. Any serious analysis of these events proves conclusively that they are a big hoax.
Yet despite this, the British have decided to build a monument to this retarded lie next to their parliament building. It's retarded as all fuck.
Guardian:
Theresa May has given her strong backing, as has every living former prime minister, to plans for a Holocaust education centre on a site next to the Houses of Parliament.
Proposals for the memorial and museum, in Victoria Tower Gardens next to the River Thames in central London, have sparked a backlash because of the loss of green space and trees their construction would entail.
A "Save Victoria Tower Gardens" campaign is urging members of the public to protest, and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (Icomos), which advises Unesco on world heritage sites, has objected, warning that the proposal would have a "massive visual impact".
But the prime minister will on Tuesday insist that building the centre on the site has an important symbolic meaning.
They even put out a video with various British prime ministers of the past including the war criminal Tony Blair talking about how important this memorial is.
They're not even allowing comments on it, knowing full well that people will be all over it calling out the Holocaust as a big Jew hoax. But the good news is that the video has been heavily down voted.
All of these Holocaust memorials should be immediately torn down. It's just a way for Jews to guilt White people into believing that they're perpetual victims even though they're the most privileged people on the planet.
Everything about Western civilization today is centered around this ridiculous idea that if White people have their own nations, Whites will start putting Jews in shower room gas chambers. That's literally the only explanation we are given as far as why we can't have our own countries and have to put up with all this flood of nigger filth that has infested our lands.
But it's funny how Theresa May can't figure out how to do Brexit but can immediately find a way to get a hoax monument built. What an evil bitch. She should move to Israel if she loves the Jews so much.

Vimy's uranium project gains approval from Western Australia authorities
19 December 2016	(Last Updated December 19th, 2016 18:30)
Vimy Resources has announced that its Mulga Rock Project has been approved by the Western Australia Mining Ministry.
Approval is subject to multiple implementation conditions. It is the state's final primary approval for the Mulga Rock Project and represents an endorsement of the low-environmental impacts associated with the project.
Mulga Rock Project was deemed to have no significant residual impacts upon the environment, if implemented with the required conditions.
This decision allows Vimy to begin work once the appropriate secondary approvals for licences and permits are granted, and once federal approval under the EPBC Act has been acquired.
The assessment process was undertaken under a bilateral agreement between the state of Western Australia and the Commonwealth, although approvals were carried out separately.
"We have the state's tick of approval from an environmental perspective, and the remaining approvals should come through before March."
Federal approval is expected before March 2017.
Vimy managing director and CEO Mike Young said: "This is the most significant step in de-risking the project from a regulatory approvals standpoint. We have the state's tick of approval from an environmental perspective, and the remaining approvals (secondary and federal) should come through before March. We look forward to starting work very soon."
The assessment process started in July 2013 after Vimy (which was known as Energy and Minerals Australia or EMA) submitted a referral under s.38 of the EP Act.
The process included an environmental scoping document (ESD), which underwent a two week public review from 8-22 December 2014. In addition, it included a public environmental review (PER) with a 12-week consultation period, which ran from 14 December 2015 until 8 March 2016, and an appeals process lasting around three months. These supported the EPA's conclusion that the proposal may be implemented subject to the recommended conditions.
Mulga Rock project is one of the largest undeveloped uranium resources in Australia. It is expected to produce 1,360t of uranium oxide per annum for approximately 17 years.
Located 240km from Kalgoorlie in the Great Victoria Desert, the project is expected to create around 490 new jobs. It is estimated to provide A$19m ($13.87m) as revenue to the state government as royalty payments and payroll tax.

Equipment Kits are used to speed up entry of Shipments. If you find that the same equipment/subs are often being shipped together, then it is in your best interest to create an Equipment Kit.
To create an Equipment Kit, select 'Equipment Kit' on the main menu, then click 'New' on the resulting list screen (shown below).
After selecting 'New', Tallys will display the following input screen.
First select an Owner by typing the Owner number, a part of the Owner name + an '@' symbol (the wild card in Tallys) or by pressing F4 (on screen or on your keyboard) to bring up the owner list screen.
Assign the Equipment Kit a unique name by using the 'Kit Name' field. This is a string and will be what shows up when you click the kit button on the shipment input screen.
To add a particular piece equipment or sub simply click on it's record from the 'Equipment Master File' Section of the screen. This section will not populate until after an owner has been selected. The letters below this section allow you to filter out any equipment/sub that does not start with the chosen letter.
To remove an added part click on it in the "Part no" section at the bottom, then click on the 'delete' button at the very bottom of the screen.


Recently, non-axisymmetric convection in vertical directional solidification experiments has been observed. It has been suggested that the asymmetry is due to lack of azimuthal symmetry in imposed temperature and that the flow asymmetry will decrease with increasing velocities. Motivated by these observations we have examined the consequences of deviations from axisymmetric wall temperature conditions in a vertical differentially heated cylinder. We show that the degree of flow asymmetry depends on the ratio, Aθ, between the amplitudes of the maximum azimuthal and vertical temperature differences, and that for a fixed value of this ratio the flow asymmetry increases with increasing flow velocity (Rayleigh number). © 1992.

This issue of Looking Forward, Giving Back celebrates Phase I of Grow Our Own, a 10-year commitment by our Board of Directors to create prosperity for all southwest Minnesota kids and the communities they call home. For the past three years, we've worked to raise awareness about the growing opportunity gap facing American kids today and the 1 in 6 southwest Minnesota kids living in poverty.
Socioeconomic status, community wealth, familial situations, race, ethnicity, English proficiency and other factors impact children's ability to reach their full potential. These kids are our future employees, entrepreneurs, community leaders, volunteers, homeowners, taxpayers and parents. We believe ensuring our next generation can succeed is the most important thing we can do for the future of southwest Minnesota.

SRAM makes key additions to its already star-packed global pro triathlon roster for 2018.
Heavy hitters include multi-time world champs Jan Frodeno and Sebastian Kienle, both of Germany. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Alistair Brownlee of Great Britain and brother Jonathan Brownlee, also an ITU World Champion return as well. Alistair's stellar foray into long-course triathlon was cut short by injury last year, so watch for motivated performances from him in 2018. Three-time Ironman® world champ and longtime SRAM, Zipp, and Quarq athlete Mirinda Carfrae of Australia returns to competition after having a baby.
Australians Josh Amberger and Jake Montgomery are poised for breakthrough seasons. Melissa Hauschildt and Annabel Luxford, of Australia, are top threats in 70.3® and Ironman® events. Ashleigh Gentle of Australia is a top performer in Olympic distance races. Other returning pros are Jake Birtwhistle (AUS), Andi Boecherer (GER), Matt Hanson (USA), Sarah Haskins (USA), Non Stanford (GBR) and Nick Kastelien (AUS).
American Andrew Talansky's entry into long-distance triathlon is one of the sport's most intriguing storylines for 2018. Talansky, nicknamed "Pit Bull," retired last year from a highly successful cycling career highlighted with top 10 finishes in the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España and overall victory in the Critérium du Dauphiné. Talansky, a strong time trialist, will focus on long-distance events.
Other newcomers to SRAM and Zipp's triathlon roster include one of the sport's emerging stars, Australian Sarah Crowley. A certified accountant, she is now fully focused on triathlon and already has won the ITU Long Course World Championship, Ironman® European and Asia Pacific Championships and placed third at last year's Ironman® World Championship.
Denmark's Maja Stage Nielsen, 12th in her debut at Kona, also joins our roster. Also, American Haley Chura, one of the stronger swimmers on the Ironman® circuit, returns to our roster. SRAM and Zipp also welcome American Alissa Doehla, a former professional runner. Doehla was named USA Triathlon's Women's Rookie of the Year in 2017. Kaisa Sali (Finland), fifth at Kona last year and Ironman® South Africa champion, is also new onboard.
SRAM RED® eTap® is a foundational shifting technology for our sponsored pros. Shifting is achieved with SRAM eTap Clics™, BlipGrips™, and Blips™ for versatile setup options and shifting from both the base bars and aero extensions.
Other groupset options include SRAM RED mechanical and Force 1. SRAM athletes also are at the forefront of the emergence of disc brakes for triathletes, with the availability of SRAM RED eTap HRD.
Zipp's Firecrest and NSW lineups, including the 454 and 858 NSW wheels, and Super-9 provide our athletes with every available aero option. These are available in rim or disc-brake versions.
Vuka Aero: an integrated aero bar that can be used with any stem to help you find your ideal position on the bike.
Vuka Evo and Vuka Race extensions: fit-driven shapes to help you dial in your position.
Vuka Fit software tool and App: designed to apply a rider's fit coordinates to Zipp aerobars.
For ITU, Zipp Service Course SL alloy and Zipp SL Speed carbon bars, stems and seatposts provide more options for better rider fit and best-in-class durability, performance and stiffness-to-weight ratios.
Most all of our pro triathletes rely on Quarq's RED DZero power meter.
