The magic and majesty of Mt Teide
Mt Teide is the first thing anyone flying towards Tenerife will see of this popular destination in the Canary Islands. You simply cannot miss this amazing mountain as it towers above the clouds, and in winter is often covered in gleaming white snow all around its peak.
Mt Teide is the highest mountain in the Canary Islands and in all of mainland Spain, and at 3,178 m above sea-level it is the third highest volcanic mountain in the world. The Teide National Park (Parque Nacional del Teide, as it is called in Spanish) became a World Heritage site back in 2007 when UNESCO honoured it in this way.
Not surprisingly, Mt Teide is a very popular location for tourists to visit, and every day excursion parties arrive up on it at the tourist centre. Other people arrive by car, and once a day the Tenerife TITSA bus company runs a return service from the northern resort of Puerto de la Cruz and another from Las Americas in the south of the island. Many visitors enjoy walking up Teide but it is a very steep climb and you need a special permit to go right to the top.
Of all the places that are a "must-see" on Tenerife, Mt Teide is at the top of the list. It really is like visiting another world up on its higher reaches where the miles and miles of bizarre volcanic rock formations make the countryside look more like the Moon or Mars.
Because of the amazing otherworldly landscapes that Mt Teide provides it is no surprise to find that various film and TV production companies have used the place as a location. The science-fiction movie Barbarella was filmed in part on the mountain.
In one place by the road there are blue rock formations known as Los Azulejos. The unusual colouration is due to mineral content. In other parts the rock is reddish or a sandy-coloured pumice. In some places shiny black obsidian can be seen.
Across the road from the tourist centre are the Roques de García. A group of strangely-shaped rock columns. To the south of this part is the Llano de Ucanca, which is a vast plain that looks a bit like a sandy beach surrounded by mountains.
Further on up there is the Teleférico cablecar, which takes passengers up to a point 163m below the actual summit. To walk the rest of the way a special permit must first be obtained from an office in Santa Cruz.
At this height though some people will suffer from altitude sickness and it is not recommended for anyone with heart conditions or breathing problems. If you are climbing this last stretch of the mountain and feel at all ill then you must give up and go back on down because it can be dangerous to ignore the warning signs your body is giving you. You need to be careful in locations like this if you want to be safe in Tenerife.
Because of the extremes in temperature and the unique habitat the mountain provides there is a very special endemic flora and fauna that can be found there. This makes Mt Teide a wonderful places for naturalists and botanists to search for rare and unusual plants of Teide, as well as people who simply enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Flora and fauna of Mt Teide
The Tenerife Lizard (Gallotia galloti) is common up on Mt Teide and can be seen running about and basking in the sun even when there is snow still on the ground in shadier parts. The lizards live by the Tourist Centre too where they scavenge scraps that visitors drop outside the restaurant there.
The Canary Blue butterfly (Cyclyrius webbianus) can often be seen in the area by the Tourist Centre too. Its caterpillars feed on species of leguminous shrubs that grow in the area.
An interesting bird you might see is the Great Grey Shrike (Lanius excubitor). This grey, black and white songbird has the unusual habit of impaling its small animal prey on the thorns of bushes and trees. Shrikes are also known as "butcher birds" because of this behaviour.
Of the plants that grow up on Mt Teide, the Red Viper's Bugloss (Echium wildpretii) is the best known, and this is hardly surprising because its tall red flowering spikes have become a plant symbol for the island of Tenerife and appear in countless paintings as well as on postcards and in photos in guidebooks. The much smaller blue-flowered Echium auberianum is another very rare species of Viper's Bugloss that grows in the high mountain area of Mt Teide.
The Teide Wallflower (Erysimum scoparium) with its mauve-violet-coloured flowers is another very pretty wild flowers that grows up on Teide. The Teide Violet (Viola cheiranthifolia) grows right up on the summit of the mountain and is found nowhere else in the world.
On the rocky plains the white-flowered Teide Broom (Spartocytisus supranubias) perfumes the air and produces nectar that feeds the honeybees that come from the hives kept up on the mountain.
The Guanches
The Guanches, who were the original inhabitants of Tenerife before the Spanish conquest, used to take their flocks of sheep and goats up onto the mountain in the summer to graze the animals there, and then to go back down to the coastal plains in the winter. These people believed that Mt Teide was where the evil spirit known as Guayota was housed. They called the mountain "Echeide."
It is easy to see why the Guanches thought Mt Teide was the home of evil spirits when you consider what it could do when it erupted. Even today the sulphurous gases are still emitted from vents high up on its peak.
The awesome power of the mountain cannot fail to impress. Mt Teide is a very strange and otherworldly place that is sure to stay in your memory if you visit it.

Interesting piece, I had always thought the Sierra Nevada was highest in spain but you have proved me wrong (might need the info in a pub quiz)
Thank you, Bill, for this wonderful comment!

I visited Mount Teide (not to the top!) with my wife in March 2011. I can honestly say that the mountain in its volcanic setting is one of the most awesome places we have visited in the world. We also undertook a six mile walk down the amazing Barranco da Masca, a gorge which wouldn't be out of place in the 'Lord of the Rings' with its rearing cliffs and strange plant life.
Many people may be put off visiting Tenerife because of the insensitive tourist development which does blight many parts of it, but there is much splendour there, too. If you haven't been - please go!
Thank you for your comments, Pat!

through and with my canarian walking friends I have explored all the beautiful mountain over the past years ... it is wonderful, magestic and everything you say in your lovely review ...Pat Simpson,
Thank you for your feedback, Kerrie!

Interesting piece. Every time I go back to Gran Canaria, I look forward to seeing Teide above the clouds, before landing. I have driven to the top of Gran Canaria, Tamadaba - i think? You get an amazing view of Teide from there. I will try to include it in my first hub on gran Canaria :) Saludos
Thank you for posting and knowing how amazing Teide is!

This is a fabulous description of one of my favourite places on the planet. I was fortunate enough to live on the island for a few months about 5 years ago, and every morning I would open my apartment door and stand in awe at the magnificent splendour of the mountain. I never got to go up close though, but it brightened my day every morning to watch the sun rise light it up with unimaginable colours.
Thank you for posting this.

Q: How to parse namp output xml file? I have a scan results of some 50 vlans it was easy when i was scanning whole subnets with single nmap command but when it came to parsing / filtering assets information (e.g hostname , ip address) it become one big problem. Right now i have to open each xml file (using xml software) and locate individual tags and extract desired field.
Is it possible to extract desired fields using awk / grep etc?
Here is how the xml file look like
<address addr="192.168.1.1" addrtype="ipv4" />
<hostnames><hostname name="test@myserver.com" type="PTR" /></hostnames>

I'm only interested in address addr and hostname name
Here is the xml file.
WoW chris you did it for me it works perfectly now:D thanks to you. DO you know if this command would still work if the tag are on separate lines (not ended on same line as it started)
<address addr="192.168.1.1" addrtype="ipv4" />
<hostnames><hostname name="test@myserver.com" type="PTR" />
</hostnames>

I agree but i cannot understand your description of delimator -F"\"". The delimator \" is not located inside the xml file. I'm missing something
Sorry but i'm not understanding this what is '\' this for. Does it mean starting quotation mark ". Thankss
Thank you chris for being so helpful and that too in a very quick and easy way. How can i accept your answer now?

A: Updated answer: Yes, a long as the part inside the quotation marks is not split across line, the code below will work.
A bit of explanation:
Awk splits its input into fiels. <-F"\""> tells awk to split the input string on double quotes. Each splited field in the input string is then assigned to a variable $1 .. $NF where NF stands for the number of fields. In your case you interested in the first after a double quote, which is the second field $2.
try:
$ cat file
<address addr="192.168.1.1" addrtype="ipv4" />
<hostnames><hostname name="test@myserver.com" type="PTR" /></hostnames>

Command:
awk -F"\"" '/<address|<hostnames/{print $2}' file

Output:
192.168.1.1
test@myserver.com

HTH Chris

A: awk -F '="|"' '{for (i=1;i<=NF;i++){ if($i~" addr$" && i+1<=NF)print $(i+1); if($i~"hostname name")print $(i+1)} }' yourXml

this should work if addr="192.168.1.1" or name="test@myserver.com"  was not broken by linebreak. the both can be in same line too.

A: If you need to manipulate xml often, you could install XML Gawk:
xgawk -lxml 'XMLSTARTELEM == "address" {
  print XMLATTR["addr"]
  }
XMLSTARTELEM == "hostname" {
  print XMLATTR["name"]
  }' infile

You'll need to remove the empty line(s) at the beginning of your XML
in order to process the file correctly.

Made for the U.S.A. Only: Second Circuit Holds That the Dodd-Frank Act's Antiretaliation Provision Applies Only Domestically
By Kevin A. Wisniewski and Mary P. Hansen and William L. Carr
According to the SEC, in fiscal year 2013, foreign whistleblowers accounted for 404 of the 3,238 whistleblower reports received by the SEC (nearly 12%). Recently, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals may have significantly undermined incentives for foreign tipsters to report potential violations to the SEC.
On August 14, 2014, the Second Circuit held that the Dodd-Frank Act's whistleblower antiretaliation provision (15 U.S.C. § 78u-6(h)(1)) does not apply "extraterritorially" and thus did not cover a foreign tipster's allegation that he had been terminated for reporting potential Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations to his employer. Liu v. Siemens AG, Docket No. 13-cv-4385 (2d Cir. Aug. 14, 2014). The antiretaliation provision of the Dodd-Frank Act, which gives employees easy access to U.S. district courts, prohibits employers from retaliating against whistleblowers employees who make certain protected disclosures. The provision incentivizes reporting and facilitates the SEC's enforcement of securities law violations.
The plaintiff Liu, a citizen and resident of Taiwan, alleged that he was fired from a Siemens Chinese subsidiary after he reported potential FCPA violations and other misconduct to his superiors. None of the alleged events related to Liu's firing occurred in the United States. Nevertheless, Liu filed suit in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York claiming that Siemens had violated the antiretaliation provision of the Dodd-Frank Act.
The Second Circuit affirmed the District Court's order dismissing the complaint with prejudice and held that the Dodd-Frank Act's whistleblower antiretaliation provision does not apply "extraterritorially." The Second Circuit reasoned that the Dodd-Frank Act, like any statute, is presumed, in the "absence of clear congressional intent to the contrary, to apply only domestically." Id., slip op. at 2. And the Second Circuit found "absolutely nothing in the text of the [antiretaliation] provision … or in the legislative history of the Dodd-Frank Act, that suggests that Congress intended the antiretaliation provision to regulate relationships between foreign employers and their foreign employees working outside the United States." Id. at 12.
Because the antiretaliation provision did not extent extraterritorially, the court found that it did not cover Liu's allegations since all events related to his termination — the alleged misconduct, Liu's discovery of the misconduct, and Liu's termination — occurred outside the United States. As such, the District Court correctly dismissed Liu's complaint. The Second Circuit's decision will likely impact the willingness of potential whistleblowers outside the United States to report misconduct to the SEC. Moreover, the lack of protection afforded to foreign-based whistleblower may adversely effect on the SEC's FCPA investigations which usually involve misconduct that occurs outside of the United States. There is nothing in the Second Circuit's decision, however, to indicate that foreign-based whistleblowers are prohibited from receiving payment under the Dodd-Frank bounty program.
While the ruling clarifies the Dodd-Frank Act's geographical reach, it did not resolve another outstanding issue, namely whether or not Dodd-Frank applies to reports made internally, as opposed to reports made directly to the SEC.

What a stunning dish Janice. Who knows I may even try making ice-cream soon!
Ooh lovely Janice. I've been meaning to make Cranachan for ever, but not managed it. Iced Cranachan is a completely new one on me and looks even more delicious. Great start to the Scottish challenge.
I love cranachan Janice and it is one of the best dishes from Scotland to be sure. Well in my opinion anyway. I never thought of turning it into an ice cream, that was inspired!
brilliant combo here, I love the recipe... I can imagine it has a bit of a punch to it!... Now I need to get my thinking caps on for this brilliant challenge!
That sounds and looks delicious. I'm such a big fan of raspberries - I much prefer them to strawberries!
Hurrah! Best of British goes to Scotland. The first thing that came to my mind was shortbread :) Your cranachan looks gorgeous and I love how it's served.
What a fabulous dish Janice. Need to get my thinking cap on for this challenge!
That Cranachan looks gorgeous. Much much better than mine ever does.
Only just seen this post but that looks delish! Need to get my thinking cap on for this challenge as the deadline is creeping up rather quickly!
This look amazing I love britain desserts!!
I don't know how I've missed the first two months of The Best of British. Do you have a link for this months competition.
I wondered why it had taken someone so long to create a cranachan ice cream. Looks great.

How Long Does Quinoa Last?
How long does quinoa last? The shelf life of quinoa is influenced by a variety of factors, such as whether it is cooked or not and how it is stored.
Quinoa is actually a seed, but since it cooks up nice and fluffy, yet slightly crunchy, many people consider it as a grain and are using it to replace wheat or oats in their diet. Quinoa is often referred to as the "supergrain of the future" because it has twice the amount of fiber and is such a complete protein that it contains all 9 amino acids and is gluten free! It also contains iron, lysine, magnesium, riboflavin and manganese.
Of course, all foods last for a shorter period of time if they are not stored properly. But remember, like a lot of other seeds, it usually has a best by date and not an expiration date. Because of this, you can safely use it beyond the stamped best by date.
How to tell if Quinoa is bad, rotten or spoiled?
Since quinoa has a long shelf life if kept dry, it is hard to tell if it has gone bad. It generally does not become rancid or smell. Cooked quinoa that has gone bad will show a loss of texture as it hardens and then can grow mold.
How to store Quinoa to extend its shelf life?
The best way to store quinoa is in an airtight container in the pantry or another cool dark place with a constant temperature.
Once prepared, quinoa should be refrigerated in an airtight container to keep out moisture and other contaminants. Do not allow cooked quinoa to sit out at room temperature for longer than 2 hours, just like any other food.
For a long term option, you can freeze your dry quinoa while preserving its taste if you use an oxygen-free (oxygen is the source of freezer burn) freezer safe container. Cooked quinoa also freezes well in an airtight freezer container.
Quinoa was once referred to as "the gold of the Incas" because its protein increased the stamina of the Inca warriors.
It's very versatile and can substitute for most any grain in most any recipe.
How long is Quinoa good for when prepared in a dish?
How long does quinoa last? That depends. How long does fish last? In general, food will only last as long as the quickest expiring ingredient in the recipe.
In determining how long Quinoa lasts, our content incorporates research from multiple resources, including the United States Department of Agriculture and the United States Food & Drug Administration. In addition, we scoured the web for informative articles and reports related to food safety, food storage and the shelf life of Quinoa.
Although the Quinoa shelf life information on Eat By Date is generally reliable, please remember that individual cases will vary and that our advice should only be taken as an opinion and not a replacement for your health care professional. Please eat responsibly!

Equity Practice, Objection of remedy at law, Exceptions to Master's report, Findings of fact. Pledge, Constructive delivery. Mortgage, Of Chattels, Unrecorded.
The objection to jurisdiction in equity that the plaintiff has an adequate remedy at law cannot first be taken after a master's report has been filed.
Exceptions to a master's report based on evidence cannot be considered unless the evidence is reported.
Exceptions will not lie to a master's report on the ground that he used the words "loan," "security" and "delivery" in his findings thereby stating conclusions of law from facts. Such words by stating a conclusion allege by implication that facts exist which justify it. If it becomes material to separate the pure facts, the party wishing this can ask for a ruling.
An owner of machinery attempted to pledge or mortgage it by giving an unrecorded bill of sale of it and retaining possession of the property. After the transaction, the pledgor paid the attempted pledgee a monthly rent for the use of the machinery. Semble, that the fact that the parties went through the form of paying and receiving the rent although evidence of a change of possession did not conclusively establish it.
St. 1883, c. 73, provides that an unrecorded mortgage of personal property "shall not be valid against any person other than the parties thereto." By the United States bankruptcy act of 1898 the title to all property which the bankrupt before the filing of the petition "could by any means have transferred or which might have been levied upon and sold under judicial process against him" is vested in the trustee in bankruptcy. Under these statutes the holder of an unrecorded bill of sale from a bankrupt given as security for a loan and purporting to convey machinery which remained in the bankrupt's factory has no title as against the trustee in bankruptcy.
BILL IN EQUITY by the trustee in bankruptcy of Joseph F. Merrill to have certain real estate in the name of the bankrupt's wife declared to be a part of his estate in bankruptcy, and also to establish title to certain machinery contained in the bankrupt's factory at No. 22 Norfolk Avenue in Boston, filed June 6, 1900.
In the Superior Court the case was referred to Lewis G. Farmer, Esquire, as master, who reported as follows:
"So far as the real estate is concerned, I find that the evidence shows that the bankrupt has no beneficial interest in it, or such that the trustee in bankruptcy can, in any way, avail himself of it, and I understand that the counsel are agreed upon that point, so that no detailed report of the evidence upon that subject is necessary.
"I find, however, that the bankrupt, in 1894, went into the business of manufacturing shoe thread at No. 22 Norfolk avenue, Boston, and at that time he bought about five thousand dollars' worth of machinery, all of which was paid for before the date of the filing of his petition in bankruptcy; that in January, 1896, being in need of money, he applied to one LeRoy F. Hodge, one of the defendants in this suit, who had done teaming and other work for him in the past, to assist him, proposing to secure him by a mortgage upon the machinery. Mr. Hodge, after carefully examining the property and considering the subject of the loan for a week or two, finally concluded to let him have $1,600, and take a bill of sale of the machinery as security, and this transaction was carried out on the twenty-third day of January, 1896, after which date, as a part of the agreement between the parties, the bankrupt paid to Hodge $22 a month rent for the use of the machinery, but paid no interest as such, nor has he paid any part of the principal.
"The property has been taxed to J.F. Merrill and others, and the taxes have always been paid by Merrill. After the bill of sale was given, certain other machinery was purchased to the amount of $1,317.36, of which $1,300 was expended to complete some special machinery which was already in the factory, and had been there from the first; but no new bill of sale or other instrument was given to cover these additional purchases. Two machines were also exchanged for new ones, and the difference in cost paid after the bill of sale was given, all of which was done with Hodge's knowledge and approval. I find, however, that when the bill of sale was given it was unaccompanied by any delivery of the property, and there has been no delivery of the property, either actual, symbolical or constructive, since that time.
"I find, if it is material, that when the bill of sale was given, Hodge was not in the shop, and that although he was frequently there afterwards in the course of his business with the bankrupt and otherwise, he never did anything more than to look at the property, and consult with the bankrupt about it. He never made a return of the property to the assessors of the city of Boston, and apparently never exercised any ownership over the property, which remained in the possession of the bankrupt continuously from the time of its original purchase down to the date of the filing of his petition in bankruptcy. There was certain insurance upon the property at the time the bill of sale was given standing in the name of the bankrupt, but no change was made to cover the interest of Hodge, as it might appear. After the date of the bill of sale, Jan. 23, 1896, certain policies were taken out in the names of Merrill and Hodge, and on March 5, 1898, certain policies standing in the name of Merrill alone were indorsed to cover Merrill and Hodge, as their interests might appear, and were made payable in case of loss to Hodge; but before the latter date no policies were so indorsed, nor were any taken out in the names of Merrill and Hodge, or Hodge alone.
"It is apparent that both the bankrupt and Hodge supposed that there had been a transfer of the title to this machinery to Hodge as security for his loan to the bankrupt, but unless a delivery of the property can be predicated from the evidence herein reported, I do not see why the title to the machinery did not remain in the bankrupt after the date of the bill of sale, and up to the time of his bankruptcy, and that it, therefore, passed to his trustee, the plaintiff in this bill."
The defendant Hodge filed thirteen exceptions to the foregoing report, all of which were overruled by a decree of the Superior Court, from which no appeal was taken.
Subsequently the case came on to be heard by Hardy, J., who made a decree, ordering that the master's report be accepted and allowed, and adjudging and declaring that the machines described in the bill were the property of Joseph F. Merrill at the time of the adjudication in bankruptcy, and passed to and were at that time the property of the plaintiff, as trustee in bankruptcy; and further ordering that the defendant Joseph F. Merrill forthwith deliver and surrender the machines to the plaintiff, and that the defendant LeRoy F. Hodge refrain from making or asserting any title to them under or by reason of his bill of sale; and further declaring that the plaintiff was authorized to take possession of the machines and to hold and dispose of them as trustee in bankruptcy. From this decree the defendant Hodge appealed.
P.J. Casey, for the defendant Hodge.
R.O. Harris F.F. Haskell, for the plaintiff.
HOLMES, C.J.
This is a bill by a trustee in bankruptcy to recover property alleged to belong to the bankrupt's estate. The case was sent to a master, and exceptions were taken by the defendant Hodge to his report. These were overruled, and no appeal was taken. Afterwards the report was accepted and a decree was entered for the plaintiff. From this final decree an appeal was taken. The only question before us is whether the decree was warranted on the pleadings and report.
Both sides have argued the exceptions as if they were open, and therefore we think it proper to say that we see nothing in them. The objection to the jurisdiction in equity that there was an adequate remedy at law, comes too late. Jones v. Keen, 115 Mass. 170. Crocker v. Dillon, 133 Mass. 91. Parker v. Nickerson, 137 Mass. 487. Whiting v. Burkhardt, 178 Mass. 535. That of multifariousness is not argued. So far as objections are based on evidence it is enough to say that the master was not ordered by the court or asked by the parties to report it. Nichols v. Ela, 124 Mass. 333, 335. Freeland v. Wright, 154 Mass. 492. The objection to findings that express in a single word, such as "loan," "security," "delivery," a conclusion of law from facts, on the ground that the constituents should have been stated, would interdict an important part of the English language. The function of such words often has been analyzed. Windram v. French, 151 Mass. 547, 551. Commonwealth v. Clancy, 154 Mass. 128, 132. Alton v. First National Bank of Webster, 157 Mass. 341, 343. Evans, Pleading, (1st ed.) 48, 139, 143-146, 164. By stating the conclusion they allege by implication that facts exist which justify it. If for any reason it is material to go further, rulings can be asked which will separate the pure facts. Formerly the plaintiff's allegation of title was analyzed when necessary by giving color in pleading. Evans, Pleading, 149-157. An exception to an alleged exclusion of evidence is not argued. It does not appear even that any such evidence was offered.
The only property concerned under the master's report is machinery found to have been transferred by a bill of sale to the defendant Hodge as security for advances. The instrument seems not to have been recorded, and the master finds in terms that there never was any delivery of possession. An exception taken to this finding is less frivolous than the others, since earlier in the report it is stated that after giving the security the bankrupt paid monthly rent for the use of it. We assume for the purposes of decision that the form of such a payment would have been evidence of a sufficient change of possession, Moors v. Wyman, 146 Mass, 60, 63, and there may be some ground for apprehending that the master adopted a different view. But we cannot say that the fact that the form of paying rent was gone through conclusively establishes the change. Harlow v. Hall, 132 Mass. 232. It should be mentioned, too, that a part of the machinery at least seems not to be the same as that covered by the mortgage.
Coming, then, to the question whether the report justifies the decree, it follows that Hodge has no title as against the plaintiff. St. 1883, c. 73. Chick v. Nute, 176 Mass. 57. Bingham v. Jordan, 1 Allen, 373. It is true that under the last bankrupt act it looked a little as if property situated like this might be at a loss for a master. For while this court denied it to the mortgagee the United States courts denied it to the assignee in bankruptcy. Winsor v. McLellan, 2 Story, 492. Ex parte Dalby, 1 Lowell, 431. Coggeshall v. Potter, Holmes, 75. Stewart v. Platt, 101 U.S. 731, 738, 739. The ground of the United States decisions was that the assignee is the bankrupt. Lowell, Bankruptcy, § 309. And no doubt it is traditional to regard such assignees as universal successors who like executors or other universal successors represent the person of him to whom they succeed. Chipman v. Manufacturers' National Bank, 156 Mass. 147, 149. Phosphate Sewage Co. v. Molleson, 5 Ct. of Sess. Cas. (4th Ser.) 1125, 1138. Nevertheless in Bingham v. Jordan the statute was held to invalidate the mortgage as against assignees in insolvency; and this amounted to a decision that a fictitious identity of person did not satisfy the words of our statute which make the mortgage void "against any person other than the parties thereto." The view taken by Judge Lowell was almost directly contradictory to this decision, which was that an assignee in insolvency was not a "party thereto."
The construction of a State statute is a matter upon which the decision of the State court is final. If the only ground on which the right of the assignee to property subject to an unrecorded mortgage is that given by Judge Lowell, in Lowell, Bankruptcy, § 309, the answer is that the United States courts are not at liberty to say that an assignee is a party to a mortgage given by his bankrupt when this court has said that he is not. But it seems to be unnecessary to discuss that question, because in Ex parte Dalby, 1 Lowell, 431, 433, it is admitted that there is a distinction when the assignee takes all that could have been taken on execution against the bankrupt at the time of the bankruptcy. Under the present statute the trustee takes "property which prior to the filing of the petition he [the bankrupt] could by any means have transferred or which might have been levied upon and sold under judicial process against him." U.S. St. 1898, c. 541, § 70. It is very plain that the machinery is such property. Bingham v. Jordan, 1 Allen, 373, Smith v. Howard, 173 Mass. 88, and therefore it passes to the plaintiff.
Decree affirmed.

Miyares works for Hallmark Cards during the day but he is also an award winning picture book author and illustrator.
As Miyares accepted guidance from experts during the writing and illustrating of his first book, he realized a lot of decisions were made for him. He did not want to replicate that the next time. After his first book, he saw a lack of intention in his process and in his career goals.
In his children's books, he had to write them for the child; not for the consumer who may be the parent or grandparent or family friend. He asked himself the question, "What is going to relate to a child?" Not all his book reviews were favorable, but that did not stop him from creating for the young person the books are intended for. He knew he needed to have a clear intention about why he was doing what he was doing.
In the grocery industry we can ask, "How can we relate to our customers? What do our customers want?" It's about what they want; not what we think they want. And we should be intentional about delivering to them.

Handan Sultan (* 16. Jahrhundert im Eyâlet Bosnien; † 9. November 1605 in Istanbul) war eine Gemahlin Mehmeds III. und Valide Sultan unter Sultan Ahmed I.

Leben
Handan wurde in Bosnien geboren und arbeitete im Haushalt von Cerrah Mehmed Pascha, dem Beylerbey des Eyâlet Rumelien und dessen Ehefrau Gevherhan Sultan, einer Tochter von Sultan Selim II. Mehmed Pascha war im Jahr 1582 Beschneider (cerrah) von Mehmed III., daher bestand eine enge Bekanntschaft zum Prinzen. Als Prinz Mehmed im Jahr 1583 zum Sandschakbey von Saruhan (heute Manisa) bestellt wurde, stellten ihm Mehmed Pascha und Gevherhan Sultan bei seiner Abreise Handan vor und schenkten ihm die bosnische Sklavin. Als Mehmed nach dem Tod seines Vaters 1595 den Thron bestieg, kam Handan mit ihm nach Istanbul. Gemeinsam mit Mehmed III. hatte Handan fünf Kinder: Şehzade Sultan Selim (1585–1597), Şehzade Sultan Süleyman (* 1586, als Kind gestorben), Şehzade Ahmed und zwei Töchter.

Valide Sultan
Als Ahmed nach dem Tod seines Vaters Mehmed III. am 22. Dezember 1603 den Thron bestieg, wurde Handan zur Valide Sultan. Als Mutter des neuen Sultans bekam sie eine tägliche Apanage von 1.000 Asper. Bald nach seiner Nachfolge wollte Ahmed Mehmed Pascha und Gevherhan Sultan für die Rolle danken, die sie bei der Zusammenführung seiner Eltern gespielt hatten. Doch Cerrah Mehmed Pascha war zu diesem Zeitpunkt schon alt und krank und starb am 9. Januar 1604. Ahmed ehrte daher die Frau des verstorbenen Paschas und benannte eine seiner Töchter nach ihr.

Als Mitregentin war Handan zusammen mit Ahmeds Lehrer Mustafa Efendi († 1607/08) aktiv an den Regierungsgeschäften und den Palastangelegenheiten beteiligt. Während Ahmed viel Zeit außerhalb des Palastes mit der Jagd oder bei Inspektionen im Reich verbrachte, leitete Handan die Regierungsgeschäfte als Regentin.

Handan knüpfte bald ein enges Netzwerk von Unterstützern und bevorzugte Bosnier am Hof ihres Sohnes. Sie überzeugte Ahmed, den bosnischstämmigen Yavuz Ali Pascha zum Großwesir zu ernennen und pflegte eine enge Beziehung zu ihm, insbesondere in den ersten kritischen Monaten von Ahmeds Regierungszeit. Im Frühjahr 1604 befahlen sie und Mustafa Efendi Yavuz Ali Pascha, das Kommando in Ungarn zu übernehmen. Im August 1604 befahl Ahmed die Hinrichtung des stellvertretenden Großwesirs Kasim Pascha und im Januar 1605 seines Nachfolgers Sarıkçı Mustafa Pascha. In beiden Fällen wurde seine Entscheidung von Handan Sultan und Mustafa Efendi gebilligt und ermutigt. Die beiden versuchten, den Hof zu befreien von Getreuen der ehemaligen Valide Sultan Safiye, die Handan schon wenige Wochen nach der Thronbesteigung Ahmeds vom Hof verbannt hatte.

Aufgrund des Einflusses von Handan Sultan auf ihren Sohn ersetzte der Bosniake Derwisch Mehmed Pascha Bayram Agha im Sommer 1604 als Bostancıbaşı des Hofes. Dank Handans kontinuierlicher Unterstützung gelang es ihm, ein enger Vertrauter und "Beschützer" von Ahmed zu werden. 1606 wurde er schließlich Großwesir.

Handan Sultan fungierte auch als Vermittlerin zwischen ihrem Sohn und anderen Regierungsbeamten. Jeder Wesir, der mit Ahmed kommunizieren wollte, musste zuerst eine Petition bei ihr einreichen.

Krankheit und Tod
Der Gouverneur des Eyâlet Ägypten Sinanpaşaoğlu Mehmed Pascha, der im November 1598 die Tochter von Piyale Pascha und Gevherhan Sultan heiratete und so eng mit Handan verbunden war, sollte die Celali-Aufstände niederschlagen. Seine Maßnahmen erwiesen sich jedoch als unwirksam und er verhielt sich so unangemessen, dass er den Verdacht erweckte, selbst ein Rebell geworden zu sein. Er wurde abgesetzt und eingekerkert, mit Handans Eingreifen wurde ihm vom Sultan aber vergeben. Er kehrte nach Istanbul zurück und nahm seine Aufgaben als Wesir auf, wurde jedoch am 20. August 1605 hingerichtet. Handan, die zu diesem Zeitpunkt bereits krank war, war von der Wende der Ereignisse so schockiert, dass sich ihr Zustand Berichten zufolge verschlechterte.

Sie starb am 9. November 1605 im Topkapı-Palast nach längerer Krankheit und wurde neben ihrem Ehemann in seinem Mausoleum in der Hagia-Sophia-Moschee in Istanbul beigesetzt. Ahmed verschob seine Abreise aus Istanbul im Feldzug gegen die Celali-Revolten nicht, obwohl die Wesire auf der üblichen Trauer von sieben Tagen bestanden. Nach Handans Tod wurde Haci Mustafa Agha, der oberste Eunuch des kaiserlichen Harems während Ahmeds Regierungszeit, die höchste Autorität im Harem.

Handan Sultan gründete eine Stiftung für die Instandhaltung des Grabes ihres Mannes Mehmed III. und für die Gehälter seiner Angestellten. Sie gründete außerdem religiöse Stiftungen in Kütahya, Menemen und Kilizman.

Following the release of the 'Audio Track 5' EP and live performances at the Strelka Institute (Moscow), Barbican Centre and Tate Tanks (London), electronic producer and musician Darren Cunningham AKA Actress and the London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO) are to release a full album of their collaboration on Ninja Tune entitled 'LAGEOS'.
Originally performed at the Barbican in February 2016, the project was curated by Boiler Room and LCO with support from Arts Council England and Ninja Tune. The music created a synergy between both live electronic and acoustic components, not just in the harmonies but in the way the traditional instruments were spliced into new hybrid instruments. As part of the process, Actress and LCO augmented traditional piano and created sounds from objects as varied as temple bowls and plastic bags. The show, a massive sell-out success, eventually lead to the release of this much anticipated album.
For the album, LCO recorded the individual instrumental parts as stems at Spitfire Studio then sent to Actress to manipulate, in turn delivering some truly unique new pieces. LCO also went on to reinterpret Actress classics 'Hubble' and 'N.E.W' among others from his catalogue.
"In many ways the collaboration is about exploring an ambiguity of sound that sits between electronic and acoustic spaces; something that we're aiming to push further as part of the live shows," says the LCO's Hugh Brunt of the collaboration. "For much of the set we look to realise as close as possible the timbres and colours of Actress' electronics through acoustic means (which he in turn responds to); something of a physicalisation of those synthesised or sampled sounds. That has involved utilising various accessories: plastic bags (for white noise or to emulate an EQ'd hi-hat); keys; Blu-Tack (to dampen the piano's upper strings); milk frothers on harp strings, etc."
The project's genesis was very much inspired by as well as performed at the mecca of brutalism – the Barbican Centre. Iannis Xenakis, a Greek composer and architect who would create buildings to fit his scores, and scores to fit his buildings was an inspiration, Actress and LCO took architectural layouts of the Barbican and created sounds directly inspired by its shapes.
Over a decade of releases Actress has built a reputation as a fine creator of cerebral abstract techno or R&B concrète; crafting pulsing kickdrums, jittering percussion and chopped sample loops into churning, rumbling tracks soaked in static. His most recent studio album was 2017's 'AZD', a chrome aspect journey into a parallel world. He has been on record saying he wants to make 'classical stuff for a modern generation', his first instrument as a child was the clarinet after all. One of the most prominent and singular voices in electronic music, in addition to his recorded work, Actress has been photographed by Wolfgang Tillmans, and the late celebrated photographer Lord Snowden. Other collaborative projects include White Cube artist Eddie Peake, Mehdi Lacoste, Dan Emmerson and Belgian visual artist Pierre Debusschere, as well as fronting campaigns for fashion brands Acne and Cav Empt.
London Contemporary Orchestra is a leading, global, orchestral group focused on playing, commissioning and developing new music and artistic output. Alongside working with well-known artists, LCO focus on developing a diverse next generation of players, conductors and composers by creating opportunities for them to work at the highest professional level. Formed in 2008 by co-artistic Directors Robert Ames and Hugh Brunt, the LCO has collaborated with a wide array of musicians, artists, creative figures, platforms and venues such as: Radiohead, Frank Ocean, Jonny Greenwood, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, Thom Yorke, Mica Levi, Actress, Beck, William Basinski, Secret Cinema, Vivienne Westwood, NTS, Boiler Room, DAZED, Resident Advisor, Meltdown Festival, The Barbican, Southbank Centre, The Roundhouse, Printworks, Tate Modern, BBC Proms etc.


This paper introduces a measure of credit score performance that abstracts from the influence of "situational factors." Using this measure, we study the role and effectiveness of credit scoring that underlied subprime securities during the mortgage boom of 2000-2006. Parametric and nonparametric measures of credit score performance reveal different trends, especially on originations with low credit scores. The paper demonstrates an increasing trend of reliance on credit scoring not only as a measure of credit risk but also as a means to offset other riskier attributes of the origination. This reliance led to deterioration in loan performance even though average credit quality—as measured in terms of credit scores— actually improved over the years.


Pugs have gained fame for their impressive ability to sleep just about anywhere, but they also have the uncanny ability to sleep through just about anything.

The major TV studios have all but closed out their business with the broadcast networks for the 2019-2020 season.
In all, 35 new scripted series have been ordered across the Big 4 and The CW, with one or two projects still outstanding as potential contenders for midseason pickups. The union of Disney's ABC Studios and the 20th Century Fox TV operation in March made Disney Television Studios the largest supplier of new broadcast TV series with a total of 14 new series orders, although the studios operated separately until the merger was formally completed on March 20.
With the buying mostly done, here is a breakdown of where Hollywood's dominant TV suppliers stand at the Big Four and CW at the close of the 2019 development season. Should any late pick ups be made, this post will be updated.
Studios New Series Ordered
CBS TV Studios 9 (3 co-pros)
20th Century Fox TV 8 (5 co-pros)
Universal TV 8 (4 co-pros)
ABC Studios 6 (3 co-pros)
Warner Bros TV 5 (4 co-pros)
Sony TV 4 (3 co-pros)
Keshet 2 (2 co-pros)
eOne 1 (co-pro)
Lionsgate 1
CBS Television Studios
As usual, most of CBS TV Studios pick ups went to CBS. Among the buzzier pilots the studio sold this are "Evil" from Robert and Michelle King and the multi-cam comedy "Carol's Second Act" starring and executive produced by Patricia Heaton. CBS TV Studios also has "Nancy Drew" at CW while "Glamorous" is said to still be in contention at that network. The studio's co-productions are for "Katy Keene" at CW (with WBTV), as well as CBS shows "All Rise" (with Warner Bros. TV) and the spinoff "FBI: Most Wanted" (with Universal TV).
CBS TV Studios is also producing "BH90210" at Fox, which is set to air this summer.
20th Century Fox Television
20th TV sold one series to NBC, the Bradley Whitford-Anna Camp single-cam "Perfect Harmony." Beyond that, the studio had four straight-to-series orders at Fox: animated comedies "Bless the Harts," "Duncanville," and "The Great North" and the "9-1-1" offshoot "9-1-1: Lone Star" with Rob Lowe. The three animated projects are all co-productions with Fox Entertainment and "Duncanville" is also a co-production with Universal TV, while "Lone Star" is solely a 20th TV property. Other 20th TV pilots that got picked up this year are the multicam "Outmatched" and dramas "neXt" and "Filthy Rich." "Outmatched" and "neXt" are Fox Entertainment co-productions.
Universal TV has the ABC Studios/Keshet co-production "The Baker and the Beauty" at ABC this year, as well as "FBI: Most Wanted" (with CBS TV Studios) at CBS and "Duncanville" (with 20th TV/Fox Entertainment) at Fox. The studio fielded comedies "The Kenan Show" and "Sunnyside" at NBC, along with dramas "Bluff City Law," "Council of Dads," and "Lincoln," a co-production with Sony Pictures TV and Keshet.
Sources say ABC Entertainment, which had the bulk of ABC Studios' pilot orders, were dissatisfied with many of their pilots this year, leading to fewer pick ups for the studio. ABC Studios is the sole studio on the comedy "Mixed-ish," the untitled drama based on the "Stumptown" graphic novels with Cobie Smulders, and "Emergence" at ABC, the last of which was originally in development at NBC. The studio also has the co-productions "The Baker and the Beauty" (with UTV/Keshet), "For Life" (with Sony TV), and "United We Fall" (with Sony TV) at ABC.
Warner Bros. Television
WBTV scored an early win at CBS with the multi-cam "Bob Hearts Abishola," co-written and executive produced by Chuck Lorre. WBTV is also co-producing "All Rise" (with CBS TV Studios) at CBS. Beyond that, WBTV has co-production "Prodigal Son" (with Fox Entertainment) at Fox and both "Katy Keene" and "Batwoman" at CW, both of which were considered locks early on in the pilot process.
Sony Pictures Television
Sony TV was not expecting many pick ups this year and had focused their efforts mostly on developing for cable and streaming. Still, Sony did score four series orders this year. The studio's one non-co-production this year is the multi-cam comedy "Indebted" at NBC. Co-productions are "For Life" (with ABC Studios) and "United We Fall" (with ABC Studios) at ABC and "Lincoln" (with UTV/Keshet) at NBC.
Keshet's two co-productions are "The Baker and the Beauty" (with ABC Studios/UTV) at ABC and "Lincoln" (with Sony TV/UTV) at NBC.
eOne has the drama series "Deputy" starring Stephen Dorff at Fox, which is a co-production with Fox Entertainment in keeping with the standalone network's new approach to dealmaking now that they are no longer aligned with 20th TV.
Lionsgate scored a pickup at NBC for the music-infused drama "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" in partnership with Universal Music Group (which is not affiliated with Universal Television).

SILVER LODE tells the story of Dan Ballard and Rose Evans who are about to be married when Marshal Ned McCarthy and his deputies ride into town looking for Ballard. McCarty accuses Ballard of having murdered his brother and has come to arrest him. At first, the townspeople are on Ballard's side. But gradually they turn against him, especially when they believe that he has killed the town sheriff. Ballard tries to prove his innocence and expose McCarty (a naming convention which appears to be a reference to then Senator Joseph McCarthy).

Gambling has always been a popular theme that film directors have been eager to explore, and with so many gambling movies out there, it is hard to decide which ones are the best ones. However, this list follows those films that cover different gambling related topics – Las Vegas, poker, blackjack – and are also a great choice for all casino lovers and gambling enthusiasts.
A classic cult movie, Rounders features a young Matt Damon as an entrepreneur that pays for his university fees by winning at the poker table. The second high-stakes Texas hold'em player is portrayed by Edward Norton, who plays together with his friend Damon. The film culminates with the 'poker battle' between Damon and his rival, played by John Malkovich, for the prize of $60,000. Rounders is a gambling film that offers authentic depictions of poker strategy, as well as table banter.
Texas hold'em is a variation of poker and also one of the most popular ones. The no-limit variety was described by Doyle Brunson as the "Cadillac of Poker" and was further explored in other films, such as Casino Royale (which is also part of this list). The game's appearance in film and on television, as well as the invention of online gambling, contributed to its popularity. Online casinos even offer now live dealer Texas hold'em, which, according to a PartyCasino review, make it as real as possible by having a real dealer dealing the cards and holding conversations on a variety of topics.
This blackjack-themed film is based on the true story of an MIT professor who put together a team of number-crunching geniuses in order to teach them about card counting, and how it reverses the house's edge so that the player has the advantage. This is a really good watch that teaches a lot about blackjack and card counting!
This film that usually gets overlooked is definitely worth watching for gambling enthusiasts. It tells the story of a pro gambler (Phillip Baker Hall), who decides to help out a drifter (John C. Reilly) that finds himself in Vegas to win enough money to pay for his mother's funeral to learn how to gamble properly. In addition, the movie also has an excellent support cast, including Samuel L. Jackson and Gwyneth Paltrow.
ames Bond was brought back to the public's attention as the world's best spy by this film. The plot follows James Bond in another one of his terrorist/weapon raising operations that needs to be solved through a game of poker. The most memorable scene sees Bond taking on his adversary in an all-or-nothing game. This film is filled with action, entertainment, and casinos and it should be a 'must watch' for everyone.
With a cast led by Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci and Scorsese as the director, Casino is arguably one of the best casino movies of all times. This film has it all – great acting, gambling, and mafia. As if that wasn't enough, it also tells the true story of Lefty Rosenthal and the scandal that involved the Argent Corporation and the Stardust Casino.

This week, mobile analytics service Flurry release a new report outlining a shift in viewing behavior among consumers. In Q1 of 2012, time spent watching television surpassed time spent on mobile by 59 minutes a day; in Q3 of 2014, time spent using a mobile device surpassed television watching by 9 minutes a day, with an average time spent on mobile per day hitting roughly 3 hours. That's a lot of small-screen time!
Why It Matters: Mobile must be a consideration for your business in everything you do, whether it's marketing or advertising to designing a new logo to building a website. Consumers are becoming increasingly inseparable from their mobile devices—so if your business is absent from mobile, you're much less likely to connect with your target audience.

HHS Plans To Define Life At Conception
by Skyler Lee @skylerlee26
December 8, 2018 • 13:24 pm / National
The question of when life begins leads to a constant battle between pro-life and pro-abortion advocates. However, the United States Department of Human and Health Services plans to settle the debate.
A newly released draft of a strategic plan for 2018-2022 states, the "HHS accomplishes its mission through programs and initiatives that cover a wide spectrum of activities, serving and protecting Americans at every stage of life, beginning at conception."
This is a crucial change from a previous version which reads, the "HHS accomplishes its mission through programs and initiatives that cover a wide spectrum of activities, serving Americans at every stage of life."
The change in wording may be small yet it signifies that the HHS recognizes what pro-lifers have been trying to convey for ages — life begins at conception (fertilization). Pro-abortion activists have been doing mental gymnastics for years trying to dehumanize babies under the age of viability to justify and normalize abortion.
However, now even the federal government is recognizing life does not begin at birth or at viability but rather at conception.
Additionally, the HHS' first strategic goal is to "Reform, Strengthen, and Modernize the Nation's Health Care" including that of the preborn.
In fact, the newly-released plan's introductory paragraph reads as follows:
"HHS is dedicated to reforming, strengthening, and modernizing the Nation's health care system. By promoting greater affordability and balancing spending, strengthening health care quality and patient safety, improving access and expanding choices, and investing in the health care workforce, HHS seeks to improve health care outcomes for people we serve. While we may refer to the people we serve as beneficiaries, enrollees, patients, or consumers, our ultimate goal is to improve healthcare outcomes for all people, including the unborn, across healthcare settings."
The HHS also states their third goal is to "Strengthen the Economic and Social Well-Being of Americans across the Lifespan."
"A core component of the HHS mission is our dedication to serve all Americans from conception to natural death, but especially those individuals and populations facing or at high risk for economic and social well-being challenges, through effective human services," the document reads.
The reiteration that life extends from conception to natural death is very similar to the missions of many pro-life organizations.
Altogether, it seems the HHS is acknowledging key points pro-lifers have been trying to get recognized for years. Hopefully, this is a step in the right direction.
With a love for Jesus and passion for politics, I was called to the pro-life movement.

Is Sport Climbing the Same as Lead Climbing?
Written by Jake Harmer in Rock Climbing
There are a lot of terms in rock climbing that sound pretty similar, which can be confusing for beginners and more advanced climbers alike. Some of them overlap as well, which adds to the confusion.
Sport climbing is a form of lead climbing where the climber brings the rope up from the ground and only uses fixed gear for protection to keep from falling very far. Lead climbing also refers to Trad (Traditional) climbing, which uses gear that is not permanent.
Sport climbing is lead climbing, but lead climbing is not always sport climbing. Here are some of the key differences between different kinds of sport climbing, followed by some essential tips for sport climbing-
Sport Climbing v Lead Climbing
Most climbers start out their lifelong climbing addiction by either climbing in a climbing gym or going outdoors with a friend and mentor. The first few times you go you will be more worried about falling to the ground than about whether or not you are top-roping, sport climbing, or trad climbing.
Lead Climbing: Sport Climbing
In a climbing gym most of the walls are dedicated to top rope climbing. This is for many reasons, but primarily because gym climbers are there for exercise and entertainment. It's just fun to zip up and down routes of all difficulties for a couple of hours.
They aren't interested in taking nasty falls or wearing out their expensive ropes. Additionally, gyms are full of people just getting into the sport who don't have a lot of experience.
Lead Climbing in a Gym
If I had to guess, I'd say that fewer than 1 in 100 climbers in a gym takes advantage of the lead climbing walls. You can always identify the lead climbing walls immediately because that's where there's a big gap.
Top rope routes are lined with people, but then there's usually only one or two pairs in the lead area. Lead climbing is a lot more tiring than top rope climbing, and usually takes a lot longer. This can mean you're spent after a handful of routes.
In a climbing gym, the quickdraws are fixed to the wall. This means that all you have to do as you climb is reach down, grab the rope, pull it up, and clip it into the draw. While this is sport climbing, it simplifies the process and makes it a little bit easier because you don't have to clip the draw onto the bolt hanger first.
Leading indoors is a great way to practice clipping the rope into the quickdraws while precariously positioned, and a great way to practice taking falls without getting hurt. Climbing up above the protection takes a lot more mental fortitude than climbing top rope.
Additionally, and maybe even more importantly, it is a great place to practice belaying a lead climber in a much safer environment than when climbing outside. When belaying a leader you have to fluidly switch between paying out slack and taking it in.
When you first start out, you'll hear a lot of frantic yells of "Take!!" followed by even more frantic "Slack!!" and back and forth over and over again. As you keep practicing, you learn to provide the right balance of support throughout the route and get to the point where you can tell what your climber needs before they say it.
Lead Climbing Outside
A lot of people learn to top rope climb inside, then learn to top rope climb outside, only starting to lead out of necessity when they can't find a stronger partner to climb with or when their schedules don't align. Climbing outside is the big leagues. Risks are higher, but so are the rewards.
The main difference initially is that the route isn't color-coordinated so you don't immediately see where to go. In addition to figuring out how to move in order to get to the next hold, you also need to find where that hold is.
The line of bolts up the wall help with this, but sometimes you have to look for a long time before finding the little divot in the wall that might hold your toe for long enough for you to stretch to the handhold up above.
The holds aren't bolted onto the wall, so be wary as you trust anything. It's not uncommon (especially in Arizona where I live) for climbers to break holds off of the walls. Try not to hurl anything down at your belayer (and Always Wear a Helmet!).
The belayer should be ready for a fall at all times, and should plan it out before it happens. Make sure you won't get smashed into the wall if the climber falls, and clear the area of any tripping hazards if possible. Try to stay close to the wall so that you aren't jerked over into it.

Competition Climbing v Sport Climbing
Some people confuse Sport Climbing with Competition Climbing. Many climbing competitions incorporate sport climbing (lead climbing), but the vast majority of sport climbers never participate in organized competitions.
Competitive climbing is growing in popularity, and the format is still being set in stone. Most competitions include a bouldering portion and a lead climbing (sport) portion. Some also include speed climbing.
Lead Climbing: Trad Climbing
The term Lead Climbing can also refer to Trad Climbing. The principles are the same- climbers clip the rope to points along the ascent to arrest their fall if they take a whipper.
The difference is that sport climbing uses permanent bolts and trad uses removable cams and nuts. When placed properly, they can be just as strong as bolts (or at least plenty strong enough).
The advantage to trad climbing is that it can be done without permanently leaving a mark on the wall. It is more dangerous than sport climbing because the gear isn't bolted into the wall. Because of this, it's a lot less popular than sport climbing.
Trad climbing can only be done on rock outside (if there are any indoor trad gyms in the world, let me know!). The gear costs significantly more than sport climbing costs (3-5x the price).
Tips for Sport Climbing Lead Climbing
Here are a few things that you should make an effort to learn and practice if you start Sport Lead Climbing.
I remember during my first multi-pitch route several years ago there was some wind that was interfering with the communication between me and the climber below me. She kept yelling "TAKE!!" because she was just about to make a difficult committed move. From my vantage point at the belay station 75 feet up, it sounded like she was yelling my name, "JAKE!!" I kept answering her with "What?"
She was pretty frustrated when she got up to me that I hadn't kept the rope as taut as she'd wanted, but we both had a good laugh when we figured out what happened (and we've come a long way since then!).
If communication is key to a successful romantic partnership, then it's got to be at least as important to a successful climber-belayer partnership. Make sure to establish key commands before the climber even clips the first draw- are you going to use "Take" and "Slack" and "Clipping?" Will you say "Off belay" and "On Rappel"? On an especially long route or if there is a lot of ambient noise, maybe you can use tugs on the rope to communicate instead.
Another crucial communication key is to always decide ahead of time whether the climber will rappel down or will be lowered down. Many serious accidents have happened when the climber reaches the top, sets the anchor, and then leans back on the rope to be lowered only to find out that the belayer had disconnected and stepped away. Decide before you even leave the ground.
Practice Clipping Quickdraws
There is nothing worse than clinging to the wall by a fingertip while you're fumbling with the rope trying to get it into the quickdraw. Your sewing machine leg starts going, your breathing accelerates, and your whole body starts shaking (which does nothing to help your task!).
Practice clipping the rope into quickdraws until it becomes second nature. One thing that can help is to clip a draw to the rearview mirror in your car and practice clipping a rope through it while you're stuck at traffic lights. Over time you get a feel for it and it becomes a lot easier.
Know What Not to Do
Sport climbing is a little bit more complicated than it seems at first, and there are a few things you need to avoid doing in order to prevent accidents.
Always make sure that the carabiner is fully through the bolt hanger, not stuck on the nose. The nose of a carabiner is not strong enough to catch a falling climber.
Clip the draw so that the carabiner on the rope side faces away from the direction of the route. This will make it so the gate faces out away from the wall instead of in towards it. A gate facing the wall could theoretically come open when pushed against the rock.
Make sure you don't Back Clip or Z-Clip the rope. This happens when a route is bolted very close together and you grab the rope from below the previous quick draw and clip it into the one above. The rope goes up to a bolt, and then back down again and back up. This adds a lot of additional friction and opposing forces into the system, and can cause the middle draw to come undone.
Don't top rope on fixed gear. It's hard to believe, but ropes can wear through aluminum bolt hangers, rappel rings, and quick links over a fairly short amount of time, especially in places that see a lot of climbing traffic. Create your own anchor by clipping your own quick draws or locking carabiners onto the anchors so that you wear through your own gear instead of the communal gear. Rappel down instead of lowering whenever possible.
Lead climbing is how climbers get the rope from the bottom of the wall up to the top. They secure the rope to the wall through the use of bolts and quick draws or nuts and cams.
This protection ('pro') helps to stop the climber from falling far enough to hit the ground. Lead climbing can refer to either sport climbing or trad climbing, the difference being whether the gear is permanent or not.
Is Lead Climbing Harder? Lead Climbing is a lot harder than top rope climbing. Climbers can usually top rope routes that are a full grade harder than they can lead. This is because you can no longer rest at any time, and the falls are a lot farther.
What is a Hard Climbing Grade? Generally anything above 5.12 is a hard climbing grade. A 5.6 to 5.9 is easy, and pretty much anyone can do it. From 5.10 to 5.12 are intermediate routes that are difficult and require some training and techniques.
