After over two years of trying to make this Blog work like a Wiki, I have migrated the information to the Production Now official Wiki. No more "back posting" to get the information to show up where I want it. No more wishing there was a better way to set up the information, make it searchable and generally more accessible. And now, this Blog is officially "just" a blog. Which, is good, because it will require that I actually do something instead of just post content and hope someone cares enough to read it. However, if you check out my other blogs, I don't feel like I have much to say. We shall see. Perhaps a very focused blog, like this one, will help me journal. With a topic as large as "Any Great Thought You Have" it's little wonder why I don't post more.
Today I finished moving all the content from this Blog over to the Wiki and deleted the pages that have been here since 2005. I also deleted the duplicate information that was on the Production Now Discussion Group so it will be purely a discussion group as well.
As for video work, I was not able to get much done today. If find that if I get interrupted even just a couple of times my whole "groove" is thrown off. It is really frustrating to spend a few hours creating graphics to try to help explain ideas you didn't get right while filming. Again, pre-production is oh so important.
I also need to send a couple of e-mails, but, again, I haven't been able to get myself to do it. Tomorrow, I guess.
So, I'm excited about Production Now and the cool Wiki I've got, now I just wish I could figure out a way to get this information about there so I can help more kids create media. If you have any great ideas, please hop over to the Producion Now Forum and let me know!


Thank you both for your replies! @spg SCOTT I had never paid any attn to that arrow button before! Easy enough @paulelias Though I'm using a Web Client in my browser(as SCOTT clarified, thanks Scott!) and not an app, I tried double clicking anyway and though that didnt work it gave me the idea to right click and sure enough there was an option right there in a drop down menu. NO IDEA why I never thought of that before lol.

At Wetherby Prep, we believe that healthy boys need daily physical activity. Using the indoor studio at Seymour Leisure Centre behind the school and the extensive pitches and facilities at Wetherby Sports Ground, 20 minutes from the School, we ensure that boys develop their football, rugby and cricket skills. In addition to traditional sports, the school offers badminton, tennis, cross country running, rock climbing, table tennis, fencing and rowing on a weekly basis. Although we always field a strong and competitive side against other schools, we endeavour to include all boys who are willing to represent the school during the season. The boys are encouraged to work individually and as part of a team, relating both cooperatively and competitively with others. Rugby tours to Ireland and South Africa are eagerly anticipated annual events. 'Colours' ties are coveted by all budding sportsmen in the school and a 'Sportsman of the Week' trophy is awarded to the boy who has shown leadership, sportsmanship or a particularly noteworthy attitude.

Justin Bieber gets a beating from 'protective dad' Michael Madsen in new video As Long As You Love Me
By Emily Sheridan
Having turned 18 in March, Justin Bieber is keen to show the world he's growing up.
And in the new video to his single As Long As You Love Me, the Canadian singer shows he can act as well and sing and dance.
In the dramatic and cinematic promo, the teen heart-throb ended up battered and bloodied after being beaten up by his on-screen girlfriend's protective father, played by hardman actor Michael Madsen.
Scroll down to watch the video
Battered and bruised: Canadian singer Justin Bieber is 'beaten up' in the video to his new single As Long As You Love Me
Battle of the tough guys: Michael Madsen approaches Justin after he tries to flee with his daughter
Kapow! Madsen punches Justin in the face
The video begins with a long sequence featuring Madsen warning Bieber away from his daughter.
He said: 'Listen kid, my daughter is everything. She needs me as much as I need her, that means some day I have to let her go and when I do she needs to be with a man not a boy, but you are.'
Bieber insists: 'I love her,' as he refuses to back down to Madsen's threats.
You're going down! Madsen lashes out at the teenager
That's gotta hurt! Bieber is thrown onto his car bonnet
Gruesome: Some blood drips from Justin's mouth after his first beating
He replied: 'Yeah I'm sure you do. I know what type of guy you are. Once upon a time I used to be the same thing, you know what that means? That means one day you'll leave her for somebody else and break her heart and that can't happen.'
Bieber replies: 'You don't know us.'
Issuing one last threat to the singer, Madsen said: 'I don't want to. I don't wanna know you. I want you to get in your car and leave and don't come back 'cause if you do, it's not gonna be good for you...'
The things you do for love: Justin takes the beating to prove how much he loves Madsen's daughter

Luckily for Bieber, his real life is a lot less fraught.

We Tried This Teen Dating App So That You Wouldn't Have To
Isabelle Q. '20 and Julia R. '20|February 10, 2020
Isabelle Q. '20 & Julia R. '20
In honor of Valentine's Day, two seniors, Julia R. and Isabelle Q. decided to take on a new challenge. Yubo, sometimes called "Tinder for teens," is a dating app with up to 20 million users worldwide. It is limited to teens between the ages of thirteen and seventeen, though technically the app doesn't have any way to determine the ages of its users beyond analyzing their profile pictures (which can easily be faked). Isabelle posed as "Jess," using a dark and blurry photo of herself, while Julia went as "Peter," using a male classmate's photo (with permission) in order to examine the possible differences between the female and male experience on Yubo.
The app is structured in four tabs: Live, Chat, Add, and Swipe. While it is possible to access people from all over the world, the app generally asks its users to allow it access to their location, so that most of the profiles that they encounter are from teens in the same general geographic area. Julia and Isabelle each spent a couple of days on the app, swiping on a total of 384 people combined. As a general policy, they swiped right on everyone over the age of fifteen, though not all users included ages in their bios. Using the ages that users did report, they found an average age of just under sixteen. Almost all of the profiles that showed up for "Peter" were female, while "Jess" had a more even split.
In the following article, Julia and Isabelle discuss experiences using Yubo — their first reactions, trends they noticed, personal interactions that they had, and final reflections on their encounters with the app.
First Reactions
IQ: I knew it was going to be a disaster the moment the app spelled "around" with two r's. The typo seemed to signal a kind of messiness and lack of thought — which was definitely confirmed the moment I opened the app. The plethora of photos and videos felt chaotic and a little overwhelming. I joined a Live (a group live stream) without knowing what it was, and then immediately exited it in a panic. I was also surprised by how quickly my profile circulated through the system. Within half an hour, I had multiple friend requests, which somewhat unnerved me. The idea that I could be connected with so many random people whom I had never met before was a little difficult to wrap my head around.
JR: Although the sections of the app were clearly labelled, there were zero instructions regarding use of the app. The Live tab simply consisted of live streams that you could join at random, complete with random people talking about random subjects. Notably, you could request to join the stream with audio and visual or with just audio. The app kept sending me notifications that some of my "friends" were holding Lives, but I never figured out how to access those them. The Chat section was basically texting, which was easy enough. You had to add people as friends before you could chat with them, which could happen in two different ways. 1) You could send friend requests (or so I surmised because I received them and not because I ever figured out how to send them), or 2) you automatically became friends with someone if they both swiped right on each other. In hindsight, the Add tab probably was how you sent friend requests, but I hardly ventured there. The Swipe tab was also self-explanatory (click through profiles, swipe right to add and left to delete), but the catch was that I couldn't see who had swiped right on me. For that you need to subscribe for $5.99 a week to gain access to the "Power Pack" (power ups that increase the visibility of your Lives and swipeable profile, as well as allowing you to see who has swiped right on your profile). Perhaps someone more technologically advanced than me could figure it out, but I did not feel like the app was intuitive at all. I spent a long time agonizing over what picture to use and what to put in my bio (I ended up with a simple head-on photo and no bio because I couldn't figure out how to edit it), including a frenzied consultation with Isabelle, though my fears were alleviated when I saw the seemingly low-effort work that other people put into their profiles.
Trends Noticed
JR: Although there was some variation in the bios, I started to notice a number of trends. First, a lot of people put down their social media handles and AMOS (add me on Snapchat) or some variation. When I finally figured out how to edit my bio, I realized that there is an actual place for people to put their Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram info. Others put their likes and dislikes (including "photography," "painting," "edgy bois," and "The Office"). Some people put the time and effort into listing every country they had ancestors from, and girls, particularly, included variations of "I don't send nudes so don't ask." People were also really into putting their heights down, although that was only if they were under 5'3" or over 5'8". People also frequently put down what type of person they were looking for ("just lonely and want some friends," "dtf," "need a ft buddy," "gimme a sugar daddy,") their relationship status ("single as a pringle," "not single not taken," "take me on my first date," "taken") or their sexuality through pride flags and/or explicitly in words. On the other end of the spectrum, some people didn't bother to add a bio or even more that one picture. Honestly, after swiping through enough bios, they all started to blur together.
IQ: Before opening the app, I had expected something more Tinder-like, with people posting nice photos of themselves and writing witty bios. But Yubo was seemingly populated mainly by blurry, poorly-lit selfies and undeniably cringey bios. Some profiles had as many as ten photos, all of which were poor quality, some of which included videos and screenshots of memes. I noticed that a number of guys had photos of their arms — presumably to prove how veiny they were. "Big hands" also showed up in multiple bios, as did, somewhat worryingly, "I like Asians." Many people seemed only to be looking for "someone to smoke with." Many others noted that they were "shy" and wouldn't ever make first contact (HMU was definitely the most common thing I saw in people's bios). One particularly memorable user had no bio at all; his profile was just a bunch of photos of himself either vaping or holding a ton of cash or vaping whilst holding a ton of cash. What struck me the most, however, was the general candidness of Yubo's users. Bios ranged from saying things like, "I'm ugly but I have a good personality" to "Can someone love me already am almost 18 and I have never had a gf am so lonely" to…things that I don't think I can publish in this paper. The weird combination of loneliness and thirstiness felt incredibly jarring and somewhat surreal. By the time I had swiped through more than 100 people, I felt simultaneously bored, disoriented, and somewhat disconcerted.
Personal Interactions
JR: Except for a "fellow" guy, I had to initiate all of the conversations I had on the app, of which there were between three and six, depending on what you define as a conversation. I am not a great conversationalist in person, let alone through semi-anonymous texts, so I began all my conversations with "Hey." Two of the girls I used my magnificent pick up line on never responded; the guy, upon being told that I was an undercover journalist, responded with one or two useful answers and then just stopped replying. I did to get three girls to actually respond to my questions. Despite two of the three writing "single" in their bios, all three girls agreed that they were mainly on the app to make friends. They all seemed underwhelmed by the people they'd connected with, but agreed there was quite a volume of people they'd met and, as one girl put it, "I wouldn't say [I'm] liking it, but it's ok." All three girls agreed that they mostly didn't reach out first, and they were mostly contacted by guys. My male contact stopped responding before I got to that part of my interview. All of my contacts (except for the two who never responded to my initial message) seemed open and willing to at least give my questions a go, and even though one girl had in her bio, "Just add my Snapchat I don't respond on here," I actually got a fair amount of information from chatting with her through the app. So who knows.
IQ: I'm assuming that one difference between the male and female experience on Yubo involves first contact. All my contacts (mainly guys but there was one girl) reached out to me first. Most started with a fairly basic "Hey," quickly followed by a request for my Snapchat info. On multiple occasions, after being informed that I didn't have Snapchat, the person I was talking to basically went radio silent. More memorably, one guy actually began with a pickup line, but after I didn't respond within two hours (I was at a piano recital), proceeded to unfriend me (bruh moment right there).
For the three guys who weren't immediately discouraged by my lack of a Snapchat, I made it clear that I was only on the app to do research for an article and not in order to find others or establish relationships. Two of those guys–Joe and Frank*–accepted my request for an interview.
When asked why he had signed up for the app, Joe mainly focused on looking for friends. He told me that he didn't really have many in his regular life, and as such, had joined Yubo in order to find others to "talk to if I feel lonely." The app has, thus far, been a success for him, in that he has been able to connect with other people from around the world who share his same interests. However, he noted that it has been difficult to actually meet people within Washington. At the end of our conversation, when I told him that, despite his requests, I wasn't willing to divulge any personal information, Joe immediately respected my wishes, which I very much appreciated. Frank, meanwhile, definitely joined Yubo to make more than just friends. However, though he has added people on social media, he has yet to meet anyone in person. When asked if he would recommend the app to others, Frank said, "Not really." So far, Yubo has been a disappointment for him. He hasn't been able to achieve the kind of interactions that he is looking for.
My most memorable interaction of all, however, was with James*: sixteen years old and looking mainly for someone to "cuddle and watch Friends" with. He messaged me, commenting on my profile picture's lack of visibility, and when I noted that he had nevertheless swiped right, he responded with "I swipe on everyone so don't feel special." I told him that I was only on the app in order to write an article for my school paper, and asked if I could interview him. He told me to add him on Snapchat and, "Maybe I'll consider it." Even after I said that I didn't have Snapchat, he continued to message me, which I took as a good sign.
Our conversation continued in a lighthearted and jocular tone — he seemed like a decently funny and even potentially charming guy. That is, until he started asking me what I looked like — as well as requesting my Instagram info or just general photos of me. "I'm only talking to you because you have nice teeth," he said; I wasn't sure how much of that statement was supposed to be a joke. Though I kept on trying to facetiously skirt around his requests with various answers like "I'm short," or "I'm like a vampire; I don't show up in photos," I slowly realized that, though I had previously assumed that our conversation was based on the mutually-accepted fact that I was only the app for the purpose of journalism, James genuinely didn't understand that I wasn't interested in him. When I realized my mistake, I felt guilty. I sensed that I had perhaps inadvertently led him on — a result of bad communication — and I tried to clarify that I wasn't on Yubo to find any kind of relationship with anyone or to send any photos of myself.
In retrospect, I should have foreseen his reaction, but at the time, it felt like a total whiplash. Up to that point, I had (somewhat naively) seen our conversation as casual and joking, so the sudden switch in tone shocked me mainly because it felt like such an incredible break from before. "Who said I thought you were attractive you thot," he wrote. "You could look like a troll and I would have no clue and I wouldn't be surprised."
Frankly, there are worse things that he could have called me, but it was nevertheless a jarring moment. I wasn't sure if I should feel entertained, angry, or ashamed. My first instinct was the clap back, but I eventually decided to just let our conversation end there. The thought of having to talk to him more felt more exhausting than anything else. He wasn't worth the effort.
IQ: If I hadn't already been somewhat tired of Yubo, my experience with James definitely would have tainted my opinion of the app. That being said, I don't really think our interaction was necessarily that uncommon. Even in the real world, communicating intention can be pretty difficult; it becomes even harder when everything is happening online — especially if the person you're communicating with is…well, not the nicest guy. If you are interested in signing up for Yubo, it's best to keep in mind that you might very well meet people like James — people who are really looking for one specific thing and who, when they find out that you won't give it to them, no longer feel an obligation to treat you with respect.
Even disregarding what happened with James, I still didn't enjoy being on Yubo. Going into the app, I had expected to find the carefully-crafted public images of Tinder. The poorly-lit selfies and cringey bios were uncomfortable, partially because second-hand embarrassment is always uncomfortable, but also because it was weird to witness such a strange mix of desperation, horniness, and loneliness plastered so blatantly across the screen. It was the incredible bluntness and occasionally shocking vulnerability, the sense that these people seemed to be discarding self-awareness or even — at times — dignity, all in order to find strangers online, that felt so troublesome to me. Whether that says more about Yubo or more about our current society's preference for presenting shiny, witty, curated images instead of a more naked candidness, I don't know. Ultimately, though, I don't think I would really recommend Yubo to anyone. There are better ways to connect with people — ways that don't involve wading through endless selfies and guys you've never met calling you a thot. For me, Yubo felt more dispiriting than anything else, and when I finally deleted the app, my main feeling was a sense of relief.
JR: Honestly, I had no idea what to expect going in. If pressured, I would say I expected something like hormone-crazed teeenagers looking to hook up and show off all the drugs that they do. One of the biggest surprises was the prevalence of social media handles in people's bios. I was under the impression you contacted people directly through the app and/or wanted a sense of anonymity when using something taboo like a teenage dating app. I was most interested to discover that the majority of people were on the app genuinely to make friends. Even if their bios decreed their relationship status, there were still a fair amount of "taken" people looking for friends. Perhaps I wasn't approaching the right teenagers, but I was pleasantly surprised seeing the desire for new friendship-type connections. Overall, I rate the experience 2 out of 5 stars. Not as many horny teens and druggies as I'd expected, but if this online app is the new way to make friends, I'll just stick to my good old-fashioned ones, thanks.

Some of the greatest motor cars wear their distinction lightly – cars such as the Rover P5 3-Litre. The coachwork denotes solidity and natural authority and the interior is less the gentleman's club' circa 1937 than a painstaking fusion of formality and modernity. The wood veneer is understated, the instrumentation resembles the cockpit of a BOAC liner, the window deflectors in the doors were typically well-planned touch and there were even dashboard mounted air vents.
The message to any prospect buyer in the autumn of 1958 is obvious; here is an executive car for the motorway age that would commence by the end of the year.
Most enthusiasts know the story of the P5's development. It was originally intended to be a medium sized rival to the likes of the MG Magnette ZA but by the mid-1950s it was re-defined as transport for captains of industry.
An early plan to use a V6 engine was abandoned on the grounds of cost and so the existing 2.6-litre plant was expanded to 2,995cc while the transmission choices were a four-speed manual box or – a first for a Rover – Borg Warner automatic.
When the 3-Litre made its bow at the Earls Court Motor Show, one of the major talking points was the coachwork courtesy of David Bache. Not only was this the first Rover without a conventional chassis, its lines were contemporary without being at all ostentatious. – or so radical as to frighten any P4 owner.
Of course, those motorists who believed that tail-fins and an excess of chrome were the surest path to gaining social status would be most disappointed by the P5's air of sober dignity. It was, as the brochure pointed out, 'restrained in its styling' and 'a worthy addition to a distinguished range of Rover Cars' and worth every penny of the £1,763 17s price.
By the standards of the day the 3-Litre was not especially fast - the top speed was 96 mph - but as a mass-production touring car with the build quality of a Bentley occupied its own niche in the market. The P5 replaced the more expensive versions of the P4 while those considering a 3-litre executive saloon might well have considered the latest incarnation of the Humber Super Snipe, which also debuted in 1958.
However, the car from the Rootes Group had a different appeal to the Rover, with its combination of 1955 Chevrolet looks and 'traditional British' interior. The Snipe was flamboyant without being at all flashy but the P5 was deliberately low-key while managing to appear somewhat more conventional than the Citroën DS.
Your local Wolseley dealer offered the 690 but while that must be one of the most handsome large cars of the decade (naturally I deny any bias in this regard) in many respects it harked back to the early 1950s. The 3-Litre anticipated the new decade – 'one must move with the times old boy'.
The P5 was continually improved, gaining front disc brakes in late 1959 and overdrive became available by the spring of 1960. The facelifted Mk.1A of 1961 – recognisable via its front quarterlights – was, at last, available with "Hydrosteer" PAS as an extra.
We shall cover the future versions, including the Coupe and the P5B in another blog later this year as for now we pay tribute to the car described by Motor Sport in that same year as one with 'a good deal in common with a pair of shoes or a favourite cap—it improves on long acquaintance'. And, as with all great Rovers, the P5 3-Litre created its own tradition.

Ron's Personal Blog: Doing What I Should?
I struggle with the notion of having things I should do. On the one hand, I am at the point in life where I am trying to move beyond the "should." Doing things because I should do them, rather than truly wanting to do them seems to be what creates so much stress in my life. The thoughts that bang around in my head about things I should do are often based on things that other people may want, or impressions I think I need to make, rather than things I really want to do. (This is sometimes referred to as "shoulding on one's self"). I really find I am a better person when I focus more on the moment and let the onslaught of shoulds dissolve in my mind.
I find I need something to keep me on a path to healthy behavior. I have this fear that if I dismiss all of the shoulds and simply live in the moment, I may find myself neglecting things like exercise and reaching out to friends in need, in favor of things that simply feel good in the moment, like eating fried foods or feeding my ego. It is often said that delayed gratification can leads to a better life. Does that contradict my "live in the moment philosophy"?
I hope not, because I need both. I really need to stay in the moment more and to avoid worrying about what may lie around the bend. I have found that focusing on the present moment, and accepting the moment, is one of the most powerful tools for a life of peace and satisfaction. Yet, I know that I need something in my world that helps me do what I need to do, even when I am not in the mood. I shudder at the word, discipline but I do recognize that a certain amount of self discipline is needed to run my life.
I wrote about this awhile back when I mentioned needing a "nudge" to do things at time. I am not crazy about the word nudge but it is the best I could come up with; it suggests something active but short of a shove. The email from the friend, which I guess ended up being my nudge, is probably better thought of as a simple act of kindness. It was just enough. Maybe that's all the idea of a nudge really is, a simple act of kindness that sets the wheels in motion. I can see how it might work internally as well. A simple act of kindness, directed to myself, might be all the nudge I need.
Maybe I should give that some thought.


Oh dear.. what is laying siege to my friend? methinks the changes wrought by time upon the flesh (but perhaps that is just my own viewpoint of neck, belly and thighs).
Perhaps a prelude to an explosive show of affections in the works. Consorting with good feelings would only be a natural tendency, Marian! Go for it!
I know, Marian, that you are writing this, perhaps in fear of what could come, but it is definitely not you at the present time. Your FB photos show you as very well controlled in weight matters. I predict this will never come to you.
BTW, do you make faces of yourself in the mirror?
Sometimes we have to stand our ground, bear wounds inflicted by the enemy until finally we rise and put them in their place.
I love Susie's comment. Yes, keep dancing. Smiles.

Matt Garner: A Crossrope Comeback Story Across the Pond
"Daddy, you've got a big belly!"
Those were the words of Matt Garner's five year-old daughter, Layla, smiling and pointing. [Insert adorable British accent]
As a former semi-pro football (soccer) player for a local Manchester, UK team (Clitheroe), Matt had always been athletic. Needless to say, his daughter's teasing words were a bit of a shock to his system.
"I played football on a semi-professional level from the age of 15 to the age of 27, so it's definitely been a big part of my life."
Matt was born and raised in small town called Clitheroe. He describes it as being the 'type of town where everyone knows everyone, and also knows everything about you.'
At 36, Matt is a devoted father and family man, with quite an inspiring journey that all of us can relate to on some level.
Matt lives with his partner, Laura, and two children – Theo (2 years old) and Layla (5 years old). His younger sister also lives nearby with her two children.
"My family is my absolute life. My daughter and I are like two peas in a pod, and we do everything together. She's definitely daddy's little girl."
After retiring from semi-pro football, Matt started a job as a driving instructor. Long days of sometimes ten or more hours sitting in a car, coupled with poor meal choices, led to a steady weight gain.
"I would just grab whatever was convenient – pies, burgers, etc. And I had such limited time to eat between lessons. It quickly became a habit of eating whatever I could find the quickest."
A newly sedentary lifestyle, coupled with poor eating choices, caused Matt to gain over 40 pounds in two years!
"I would just come home exhausted, sit on the couch and eat as many potato chips and chocolate as possible while watching TV. It wasn't good."
It wasn't until Matt saw an old photo of himself on Facebook that he really started to notice how much weight he'd gained.
"It was a real wake-up call for me. I could no longer be in denial about what I looked like and how much my body had changed. It was not a good feeling."
Determined to shed the pounds, Matt started by changing his diet. He stuck to eggs or oats in the morning and lean meat, chicken and fish with lots of veggies for lunch and dinner. He'd also bring an apple or fruit with me to snack on during the day to guard against making bad choices if he was hungry.
"Giving up soda was crazy difficult, but it made a huge difference. At first, though, I had major sugar withdrawal!"
In addition to the changes in his diet, Matt started following a bodyweight/HIIT exercise program.
"I stuck with for awhile and had good results, but it just didn't capture my attention at the end of the day."
Matt lost 20 pounds, but quickly regained it after returning to a sedentary lifestyle. He played golf and enjoyed being on a local team, but it wasn't rigorous enough to elevate his heart rate for a long period of time.
In December of 2016, Matt came across a YouTube video of the Jump Rope Dudes jumping with Crossrope.
"They're obviously in such amazing shape, and I loved the idea of having a fun and portable way to workout."
After a month of jumping with regular store-bought rope and relative success, Matt decided to order his first Crossrope Starter Set to take things to another level.
"It kinda stinks to be in the UK because it can be so expensive to order Crossrope with shipping and customs costs. But it was so worth it. My only regret is that I didn't order every rope at once!"
Matt now owns all the ropes in the Get Fit Bundle.
Matt watched every possible tutorial on the Crossrope YouTube channel that he could, and spent at least 10 minutes after every workout session practicing tricks and technique.
"There's such a different feel to Crossrope, and the ropes almost force you to slow down and pay attention to your posture and technique. I've never felt that with the cheap ones. I will say, though, the Fury rope definitely lives up to its name and will leave a mark!"
He also joined the ever-growing community of jumpers from around the world, the Jump Rope Facebook Community.
"I was pleasantly surprised by how open and welcoming everyone is – a definite change from what I'm used to here in the UK where people can be a little more stand-offish and shy. There are so many different levels of jumpers in the community from beginner to advanced, but no one is arrogant and everyone is always eager to offer their help or advice."
Recently, veteran Community member Jordan DeLisser even gave Matt some advice that helped him be able to do 440 consecutive jumps!
"I was totally blown away at how well his tip worked!"
Now, a mere 3 months later, Matt has lost a total of 33 pounds and counting, and may even make a triumphant return to the football (soccer) field at the age of 36!
"My days of playing semi-pro are over, but I'm getting back in the best shape of my life with these ropes, so I could definitely join a team a level below semi-professional. I haven't felt this good in over 10 years!"
And Matt's new and improved physique hasn't gone unnoticed by his pals, Chris and Zach.
"They were so curious to know what I did to get in shape, so I showed them Crossrope one night in my kitchen after we were out drinking beer. Imagine – grown men jumping rope in a kitchen at 1am!"
Both Chris and Zach have since joined the Jump Rope Fitness Community, and plan to start a jump rope revolution in their local town alongside Matt.
But his friends are not the only fans of jumping rope…
"My daughter, Layla, is in love with jumping rope. Every day I come home from work, she runs to me saying, 'Daddy, daddy! Are we gonna do a workout?' And of course, I can't let her down!"
What's Matt's advice to jump rope beginners or those who don't necessarily have an athletic background?
"The biggest, most important thing is to have fun. If you enjoy it, you'll carry on doing it. And it's rewarding to see your progress! Maybe when you start, you can only do 10 jumps, but a month later, you can do 60. Just share in the community, get feedback from the more experienced jumpers and you can't go wrong."
Thanks for sharing, Matt, and we hope you start that UK jump rope revolution soon!

But the flight into Queenstown must be remarked upon before we go any further. What a flight! It is stunningly beautiful. I can see why New Zealand is called Aotearoa or "Land of the Long White Cloud" in Māori.
The Remarkables are the first thing you see out the plane window as you land in Queenstown. After the plane had taxied off the runway, the airline told us not to stop or take pictures on the tarmac, but the impression of walking out of that plane down the stairs will forever be etched on our memories. Bam! The Remarkables are right there in front of you in all their grandeur. And since we were arriving still in late winter, snow was still clinging to the peaks and lining crag and crevice, accentuating the jagged shapes of the peaks.
It took us some time to get our bearings after collecting our luggage off the carousel. We went outside for a few moments to snap some pictures before calling Britz to shuttle us over to their Queenstown office. The air was a bit chilly, but not bad.
A Peruvian woman named Rose picked us up in a passenger van with a trailer hitched to it. She put our luggage in the trailer, and we made a short drive down the road to the Britz headquarters. Our campervan was parked right out front. We were all a little bit surprised at how big it really was in real life, even though we knew it would be fairly big based on measuring the dimensions against the minivan at home. What did we get ourselves into? I think we were all still in a bit of a daze.
Another young woman named Chelsea helped us inside with all the paperwork for our rental. We didn't spend more than an hour and half at Britz. It's almost kind of funny how quickly they turn over the campervan to you to use. No experience driving on the left side of the road? Here's a campervan. No experience driving on crazy New Zealand roads? Here's a campervan.
We each made a few rounds around the Britz parking lot to practice driving the van. We discovered the rear-view mirror had a back-up camera and was a Gentex mirror–even Philip couldn't escape work in New Zealand!
Our first real on-road experience was only 15 minutes, to the our first campground, Queenstown Creeksyde Holiday Park, but it was definitely a roller coaster ride. But we survived our first trek, albeit short, on the left-hand side to Queenstown Creeksyde Holiday Park, where we were assigned site 33 R.
Weirdly, none of us were really all that tired yet, and we had read online that after making distant time zone jumps like this, it was best to stay awake and active during daylight hours and not to nap right away, to ward off jet lag. So we decided to set off toward the Skyline Gondola ride as soon as we had situated our campervan in our spot.
The gondola was not far from Queenstown Creeksyde. A primary school is actually next to the entrance. It's sort of funny how on vacation you forget that ordinary life is going on for the locals–it winter here after all, and school is still in session. And it's hard not to be a little jealous of the school children–how cool that they get to go to school in such an extraordinary location!
The ride up was quick. Jessica was a little nervous, but we had hardly been on the ground again after many hours up in the air, so it was understandable. But the view over Queenstown at the top was so worth it. The top of Bob's Peak provides a spectacular panorama over Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu, and the adjacent Remarkables mountain range. It was hard to walk away from when we were done.
We proceeded to our short luge ride down that wound down the peak of the mountain (it doesn't go all the way to the bottom–that would be a long, wild ride!). First we had to ride another gondola–actually more like a ski-lift to a higher point on the peak–to the beginning of the luge track. We had feared that it might be hard to control the luge carts, but quite the contrary. They were simple to operate, and the brake allowed you to take the sloping, winding path as easy or as fast as you wished. We totally could have done it two or three more times, after realizing how fun it was, but we since the daylight was waning and we wanted to save our money for souvenirs and other adventures ahead, we stopped in the gift shop instead where we picked up a kiwibird pillowcase and Queenstown magnet for Mom, NZ hat for Dad, and Philip got his requisite shot glasses.
After getting our bearings a bit, we were shuttled over to Britz Campervans where we picked up our home and transportation for our time in New Zealand. We practiced driving in the small parking lot, but Philip became our primary (read: only) driver as soon as we discovered just how CRAZY New Zealand roads are.
Affectionately called "Big Bertha," this Britz Voyager campervan was our home and form of transportation for our sojourn in New Zealand.
No time for jet lag! After parking at our first campground, we walked down the street to find the Queenstown Skyline Gondola.
There was a kiwi birdlife park nearby. We did not stop by, but their signs were fun.

A bunch of handy apps on Android that let you do things like autofill passwords, copy content to your clipboard, and automate tasks, may soon no longer work on your mobile device because Google is changing the rules for accessing its platform's Accessibility Services, reports Android Police.
The company has been contacting developers of apps that rely on the Accessibility Services API for functions like filling in text fields and detecting if other apps are open, to ask them to restrict their usage only for functions that assist users with disabilities. Failure to explain the need for the API in this regard will result in the app being removed from Google Play.
That's a bummer for fans of apps like LastPass, Tasker, Cerberus, and Universal Copy, all of which use the aforementioned API. The developers will either have to figure out workarounds for their apps or remove certain functions in order to avoid being booted from the Play store. Some features, like LastPass' ability to autofill passwords, can make use of newer allowances in the latest version of Android, but that means that they won't work on devices running older versions of the platform.
The problem that Google is trying to solve is the potential security risk involved in allowing apps to read data from other apps by using the API. Unfortunately, the solution might mean reduced functionality in Android: I use LastPass extensively to fill passwords across apps and sites, and given that I switch phones every couple of weeks for reviews, I don't know how I'll get by without it.

Songs that to you speak of my pain
Published: Wednesday, 21 January 2015
Jeune homme nu assis au bord de la mer - H. Flandrin
The bicentenary of Gretchen am Spinnrade, regarded as the first romantic Lied, was celebrated not long ago; Schubert composed it on 19th of October in 1814 that symbolizes the birth of the genre. A year and a half later, in April 1816, Beethoven wrote what is considered the first relevant song cycle, An die ferne Geliebte. Beethoven's songs, such as those of Haydn and Mozart, are usually viewed as classical. Does that mean that any important work of a romantic genre becomes classical? I don't think we should worry about this apparent contradiction; cultural movements know no calendars, their boundaries are blurred and bordered artists come and go between styles. If I'm mentioning this it's because I've noticed that some people feel too lazy to listen to Beethoven's Lieder, as if not being clearly romantic, would diminish its merit or beauty. So, please don't miss this week's song for this reason.
Beethoven's times before the composition of An die ferne Geliebte were hard. There were several reasons but the most important, for sure, was his poor health; his loss hearing had worsened to the point that in January 1815 he made his last concert as a pianist. It's easy to understand his depression, don't you think? An die ferne Geliebte is considered one of the first works of Beethoven during his last period as a composer (although it was one of the last times he wrote lied).
The poet of the cycle is Alois Jeitteles who in 1816 was 22 years old; he was a medicine student and also, an occasional poet plus founder and editor of a literary magazine. We don't know for sure how Beethoven got to know about these poems; maybe he read them on the magazine or he met the poet. According to some scholars, Beethoven could have ordered the poems himself. The issue of the cycle is easily inferred from its title, "To the distant beloved": the six songs are dedicated to a woman with whom the narrator had a relationship at some point and now, she is far away from him. We do not know if Beethoven thought of a woman in particular or he was showing his sadness through a literary device. The woman could be his "unsterbliche Geliebte", the immortal beloved to whom he adressed his famous letter in 1812, but who knows if he had in mind another impossible love.
The six songs, that last no more than fifteen minutes, are perfectly linked; I won't go into keys but if you listen to the whole cycle you'll notice that every song begins exactly where the previous one ends, somehow like Schumann's Dichterliebe. This week we're listening to the first song, Auf dem Hügel sitz ich spähend (I sit on the hill peering), where the poet says to her beloved that he will sing songs that talk about his pain, hoping they will wipe away distance and time between them. It's an "almost strophic" song or, if you prefer, an apparently strophic one. You know that we say a song is pure strophic when all the stanzas are sung to the same music; like Das Wandern, the first song from Die schöne Müllerin, for instance. In this Lied, Beethoven slightly modifies the voice's melody so that, at list at first hearing, seems the same in every stanza. But what clearly varies is the piano accompaniment, every stanza more complex. This way we hear a song apparently popular and still sophisticated.
After this first song, as a kind of introduction, four more songs follow that talk about the poet's suffering. The sixth song closes the cycle and the poet asks her beloved to sing the songs too, because they will keep them together; the last stanza recovers the music from the first song.
If you are in Barcelona next Sunday 25th, you'll have the opportunity to listen to An die ferne Geliebte at the Palau de la Música Catalana; the performers will be the baritone Joan Martín-Royo and the pianist Marco Evangelisti. If you want to know more about the recitals in Barcelona you could check this page or the calendar on the right column (if a recital is missing, please let me know!)
We're listening to Auf dem Hügel sitz ich spähend performed by Peter Anders and Michael Raucheisen.
Auf dem Hügel sitz ich spähend
Auf dem Hügel sitz ich, spähend
In das blaue Nebelland,
Nach den fernen Triften sehend,
Wo ich dich, Geliebte, fand.
Weit bin ich von dir geschieden,
Trennend liegen Berg und Tal
Zwischen uns und unserm Frieden,
Unserm Glück und unsrer Qual.
Ach, den Blick kannst du nicht sehen,
Der zu dir so glühend eilt,
Und die Seufzer, sie verwehen
In dem Raume, der uns teilt.
Will denn nichts mehr zu dir dringen,
Nichts der Liebe Bote sein?
Singen will ich, Lieder singen,
Die dir klagen meine Pein!
Denn vor Liedesklang entweichet
Jeder Raum und jede Zeit,
Und ein liebend Herz erreichet,
Was ein liebend Herz geweiht!
On the hill sit I, peering
Into the blue, hazy land
Toward the faraway pastures
Where I you, beloved, found.
Far am I from you parted;
Separating us are hill and valley,
Between us and our peace,
Our happiness and our sorrow.
Ah! The look can you not see,
That to you so ardently rushes,
And the sighs, they blow away
In the space that separates us.
Will then nothing more be able to reach you,
Nothing be messenger of love?
I will sing, sing songs,
That to you speak of my pain!
For before the sound of love escapes
every space and every time,
And a loving heart reaches,
What a loving heart has consecrated!
(translation by Hyperion)

Ever Wanting The ambiguities of Daniel Joseph Martinez's blunt statements.
"Not so much the imagery but the title of Daniel Joseph Martinez's recent exhibition at the Roberts & Tilton gallery (newly renamed Roberts Projects) in Culver City, California, led me to wonder about that sense of identification between a male artist and his female subject that Flaubert and Williams are supposed to exemplify—although in the case of Martinez, the subject is not fictional but a historical personage. The exhibition was called "I am Ulrike Meinhof or (someone once told me time is a flat circle)." Leaving aside for a moment the show's more obviously riddling subtitle, what could Martinez mean by his "Ulrike Meinhof, c'est moi"? It would be wise not to answer too quickly: Martinez has a history of hanging his work on blunt first-person statements that get more ambiguous the closer you look at them. One of them has kept me pondering for almost 25 years."

Legislators Are On Hand for Ribbon Cutting
Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) and State Rep. Marisa Marques were on hand for the ribbon-cutting of the new Genoa Healthcare in El Paso, Texas.
NACDS.org spoke with Dale Masten, Genoa's director of government affairs, previously about why it's important for legislators to be part of inaugurating new businesses in their communities. Masten said, "An old boss of mine said to me that unless you tell people what you're doing—and show them what you're doing—they don't know what you're doing. Pharmacists go way above and beyond just putting pills in a bottle in taking care of patients and clients. I think legislators don't know all of the things that a pharmacist does within their pharmacy. So when a legislator comes in person and actually sees what happens, it gives them a better understanding of how the policies that they are going to implement through legislation affect that operation."

"Love this light fixture. Just what I was looking for my new kitchen remodel!"
"It doesn't give off much light but it's more for decoration!"
"This is exactly what I was wanting for my bedroom. Would definitely recommend!"


UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The Security Council on Friday called for a strategic review of the U.N. peacekeeping mission in Congo with a view to progressively handing over its responsibilities to the country's newly elected government led by President Felix Tshisekedi.
It maintained the current troop and international police levels, though Guterres had recommended cuts in a report to the council earlier this month.
The Security Council commended the Congolese people for their conduct during the Dec. 30 election, which led Congo to its first peaceful transfer of power since independence from Belgium nearly 60 years ago. Tshisekedi succeeded Joseph Kabila, who governed the largely impoverished but mineral-rich central African country for 18 years.
The council also welcomed Tshisekedi's preliminary actions to end restrictions on "political space," especially the arbitrary and arrest of opposition and civil society members and restrictions on fundamental freedoms including freedom of expression, freedom of the press and the right to peaceful assembly.
The United States, which announced it December that it was unilaterally cutting its share of the U.N. peacekeeping budget from 28.5 percent to 25 percent, has been looking to reduce the size and cost of many missions.
Kabila had repeatedly called for the U.N. peacekeeping force known as MONUSCO to leave — without success, leading to uneasy relations with the United Nations. Tshisekedi also wants a plan for the U.N. force to leave but has offered to cooperate with the world body.
The resolution adopted Friday asks Guterres to make recommendations in consultation with Congo's government, U.N. agencies, member states, regional organizations and independent experts "for realistic, relevant and clearly measurable benchmarks" for a withdrawal and timelines for their implementation.
It also asks the secretary-general to come up with options for reconfiguring MONUSCO's civilian, police and military components during implementation of the exit strategy.


... the ambiente is Vietnamese-romantic and I love to come here over and over...... as it was low season; we enjoyed the atmosphere and found it even romantic.
This was one of our favourite restaurants in Vietnam! The owner and staff are lovely and the food is absolutely delicious!!! We loved it that much we went twice during our 4 day stay in Hoi An! Would love to come back here again!
Do yourself a favour and find this gem. Wonderful food and staff in a clean and inviting environment.
We did go in search of this recommendation and it did not disappoint. The food was lovely, the owner and family lovely and the surrounds as lovely. A must for a slight twist on the traditional Vietnamese cuisine.
Stayed in An Bang for 12 nights. Ate here several times. Very nice indeed. Seafood is good, and Chicken Ginger curry to name but a few. Recommended.

Anne Born, Translator
(Graywolf Press)
Trond Sander lives in the woods in the east of Norway, just above the border with Sweden. There are few neighbors. His wife died three years ago, his daughters don't know where he is.
He has rebuilt an old cabin up from the icy river, putting on a new roof, clearing the brush from around it. He has no telephone, reads Dickens, is especially fond of the beginning of David Copperfield,
Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show.
There don't seem to be too many heroes around here ... mostly just normal not-too-demonstrative, honest, hard-working Norwegians --- unless one thinks that perhaps the hero of Out Stealing Horses is time. Time: it's all over the place.
Even though Trond might be called a man "without time," his horror is that he might become "the man with the frayed jacket and unfastened flies standing at the Co-op counter with egg on his shirt and more too because the mirror in the hall has given up the ghost."
A shipwrecked man without an anchor in the world except his own liquid thoughts where time has lost its sequence.
Time does lose its sequence in Horses, but it does so with art, as we move through the Nazi occupation of Norway into Trond's growing up, living in 1948 with his father in the woods there above the Klara River.
When, finally, in old age, he returns there to live alone, he sees in the mirror his face "no different from the one I had expected to see at the age of sixty-seven. In that way I am in time with myself."
Age and years are meticulously bound and burnished ... recounted, as meticulous as the points of light caught there by the best of writers ... in this case, in an almost romantic image, Trond's father sniffing the trees they have just cut down. Or, the milkmaid, whose voice had "the sound of a silver flute when she walked up the path to sing the cows home." Or, the woods at night, "the scent of resin and timber, and the scent of earth, and a bird whose name I did not know hopping around in a thicket rustling and crackling and sending out a steady stream of thin piping sounds from the dense foliage a few paces from my foot."
And there is too what must be the purest poetical impression of the simple act of blowing out a lamp: "'Shall I put the light out?' he said, and I said yes please, and he bent down and put his hand behind the top of the lamp and blew into the glass pipe so the flame went out and turned into a small red strip along the wick, and then that too was gone and it was dark, but not completely dark."
I could see the grey edge of the forest outside the window and the grey sky above, and my father said "Good night, Trond, see you tomorrow," and I too said "Good night and see you tomorrow."
Time may be the hero here, but there is also a boy growing to be a man, inarticulate at that age of change, watching, as he does, from the edge of the woods, watching his father kissing a woman who is not his mother. "There was something in my throat that itched and hurt in a weird way, wanting to come up, but if I swallowed hard I could keep it down."
Time, and growing up, and chance, the odd odds that play such a role in our lives: Trond, hidden, watching his father disappear up the hill, hand-in-hand with a woman who is not his mother; disappearing, as fathers must disappear, into or out of space, or time, or disillusionment ... his father vanished with another mother, a mother of three, one with the odd name of Odd, who, at age ten, is accidentally shot to death by his twin brother, Lars ...
... the same Lars from 1947, who lives down the hill from Trond in 1999, there in east Norway, just above the river and the Swedish border, there just before the millennium.
Out Stealing Horses is timeless, good, filled with wonder; too good, by far, to be put down easily --- or easily forgotten.
--- C. A. Amantea

First Man Review: More Than The Moon
October 15, 2018 Poor Man Staff	1 Comment
This weekend saw the release of First Man directed by Damien Chazelle (La La Land), written by Josh Singer (The Post), and starring Ryan Gosling (Blade Runner 2049) and Claire Foy (The Crown) as Neil and Janet Armstrong. The film follows the life of Neil Armstrong during the ten years leading up to the first landing on the moon.
First Man is an amazing movie. Chazelle has proven once again that he has an immense amount of talent as a director and can craft a story that works on every level. There are some amazing visual moments in the film that have nothing to do with rockets or space travel, but show life as a human on earth. There's a great flow to the story and balance to all its parts. The film never plays into tropes that would be easy to fall into in a situation like this. It all feels real on every level, and that honesty to the story and the characters helps to pull you in and keep you invested throughout.
The film begins with the death of the Armstrong's two-year-old daughter Karen, as she loses her battle with cancer. From there the film paints a portrait of a man who slowly seems to detach himself from the rest of humanity as he makes the greatest "leap for mankind." Death looms over their lives as Neil and Janet try to work past their daughter's death, and Neil sees most of his close friends and co-workers die in failed experiments and launches. With most stories like this, you would expect the emotional climax of the film to be Neil crying and having a sort of cathartic emotional moment, but the film begins with him in tears after his daughter's funeral. From there, we see Neil constantly concealing himself and his feelings as time goes on.
The movie would be difficult to watch if not for the performance of Foy as Janet. Gosling does a spectacular job as Neil, but the demands of the role aren't much of a stretch for what we've seen him do in the past. Claire Foy commands the screen and is able to give a performance that makes you want to keep watching. We all know that Neil Armstrong made it to the moon, and that he was the "First Man" to step foot on the moon, but we don't know what happened to Neil and Janet. Their story isn't ingrained in our culture and our history. We spend the entire film rooting for Janet; we pray that things get better for her, that Neil will open up to her, and that together they can move forward in the way they need to.
The film never looks down on Janet either. She's never a victim or a weak woman. She's just as strong as Neil, and if anything, she's the stronger of the two. She's the one who can have a deep, life-changing, emotional moment and then turn around and put a smile on for her kids. The plot of First Man may center on Neil becoming the first man to walk on the moon and the wins and insurmountable losses he faces in that time, but this movie truly belongs to Janet and Claire Foy. If not for her performance, the film would mean nothing.
First Man probably isn't going to be the film you expect it to be. It's not about the explosive moments or the challenges of the technology and science behind space travel. It's about life as a living, breathing, feeling, human being and trying to find a way to still keep moving forward when you constantly lose everyone you hold dear. There are some exciting and explosive moments in the film due to the nature of this story, but they're not what's most important.
Buzz Aldrin, played by Corey Stoll (House of Cards), is sort of Chazelle and Singer's way of telling the audience that the explosive stuff doesn't matter. Every time he appears on screen before the actual moon landing sequence, he's bombastic and saying things that would fit perfectly in another film, but Neil and other characters constantly bring him down. At the funeral of a fallen astronaut, Buzz tries to talk about the reason he died, but Neil states that it doesn't matter what they think. They weren't there, and their friend is now dead. That's all that matters – and Neil is right.
We don't remember the details of how a spacecraft landed or what small calculations played into it. We don't know that there was a wiring issue here or there that led to a fire. We don't know that there was an issue with thrusters not being controlled individually. The big thing that lingers on as we move forward is the fact that these events happened. People died. Spacecrafts crashed. But we kept moving forward. Somehow, amidst all the chaos and death, these people found a way to keep going and to be stronger than their pain and achieve things no other human being had ever accomplished. That's the story of First Man, and it's a damn good one.
Rating: A
First Man is currently playing in theaters nationwide.

Tip 125 Why being perfectionist will make you fail ?
Today I would like to share with you an article I read from 99U, written by Elizabeth Grace Saunders, writer of The 3 secrets to effective time investment.
How many of us who love Design Sketching have Perfectionism tendencies ? And don't realise how much it affects our learning journey ? We may be our own barrier at learning fast, smoothly and happily – That's especially true for Design student beginner. Don't get me wrong: I am not saying that we shouldn't be high demanding. It's all about being Pragmatic.
* It's like learning a new language. We rather learn to be able to converse with people than struggling with the greatest grammar. Otherwise we may dare talking to people years later, and get so many opportunities to abandon in between. Ok, we may not speak perfectly, but at least we can enjoy communicating with new people !
Let's see why being a perfectionist is actually not a good thing.
Think that settling is worse than not completing a project.
See things either in black or white. If your sketch is perfect, awesome ! But most of the time, a tiny thing is enough to disturb the whole and make it feels like a failure. So you make a paper ball and like M. Jordan, you throw it in the paper basket. Too bad, it falls aside.
Being stressed out of failing and being seen a failure or imposter.
Procrastinate till the "perfect time" to start is ready.
e.g. Wait for having plenty of time, have the perfect and newest version of iMac with the latest Photoshop, the sweetest graphic tablet of the market… instead we rather do else things. We end feeling guilty of not starting earlier.
Spend too much time in useless task such as refining the presentation boards at early stage.
Target the minimum requirement (by listing the top priorities) while you give your best resources.
Focus on the end result and divide the process in few steps for a good time management. Feel free to add an extra margin of safety.
If you like doing a lot of research (like myself), make sure to allocate a proper time and respect it.
Know when your work is good enough, and know how to say Stop.
Refine the project with the remaining time.
Receive feedbacks. If you can't, tell yourself that you may get awesome information for growing. Agree or not, you are able to filter and respond.
See more at: Failure is part of the learning process.
Know more about the Creative funnel system: The 5 phases of creativity in a Design company.
If yes, let us know your impression, and how does it affects positively or negatively your experience.
See you guys for the next Tips !
Great that the TIP helps you.
More you praice it, better you will know how much time you need for certan task.
It's even more essential for freelance Designer.
But one thing's not clear for me, because english is foreign to me. What does this mean: 'Think that settling is worse than not completing a project.'?
It means that they don't accept to low the expectation (if needed) in order to finish a project.
Perfectionist tend to look for Perfection. – Otherwise they rather not present anything.

Following the v0.4.0 release, we have now added a 'validating webhook' for our API resources. This will help prevent invalid configurations being submitted to the API server.

This feature is disabled by default.

Information on enabling the new webhook component can be found in the Resource Validation Webhook document.

## New Certificate options
A number of new fields have been added to the Certificate resource type:

- keyAlgorithm - support alternative private key algorithms (e.g. rsa or ecdsa) for generated certificates.
- keySize - allow specifying an alternative key bit size
- isCA - allows generating certificates with the 'signing' usage set
- organization - allows specifying values for the 'O' field of Certificates (for supported providers)
New fields like this make cert-manager more useful for applications beyond just securing Ingress, as well as allowing users to continue meeting their security requirements for x509 certificates.

## New ACME DNS providers
This release includes two new DNS provides for the ACME Issuer:

- acme-dns
- RFC2136
These additions should help more users begin using cert-manager with their chosen DNS provider, without having to delegate to an alternate provider that is supported tada

Norges Bank's accounts for 2006
Norges Bank's annual accounts for 2006 show a surplus of NOK 5.5 billion, compared with a surplus of NOK 21.3 billion in 2005. The decline is due primarily to exchange losses on the foreign exchange reserves as a result of the appreciation of the Norwegian krone (NOK). No transfer will be made to the Treasury from the Transfer Fund.
Net international reserves are Norges Bank's main assets, apart from the Government Pension Fund – Global, which does not affect the Bank's results. Norges Bank has liabilities in the form of notes and coins in circulation and domestic deposits from the central government and banks. This balance sheet composition will normally generate a positive return over time. This is mainly because the Bank has substantial capital, as well as liabilities in the form of notes and coins in circulation. The Bank's assets primarily consist of investments that generate a return. The assets are largely invested in foreign exchange, and the liabilities are in NOK, which implies a considerable foreign exchange risk and that substantial capital is required.
The main items in Norges Bank's profit and loss account are interest and any net exchange gains or losses on the foreign exchange reserves. Exchange and capital gains are derived from exchange rate fluctuations, changes in equity prices and interest rate changes that affect bond prices. Norges Bank's results will depend on developments in these variables, which may cause wide annual fluctuations in the Bank's results.
Interest income and dividends from foreign investments amounted to NOK 13.0 billion in 2006, which is NOK 3.8 billion more than in 2005. The rise in prices in international securities markets in 2006 resulted in a gain of NOK 6.6 billion, compared with a gain of NOK 11.0 billion in 2005. Due to the appreciation of NOK, foreign exchange reserves translated into NOK show exchange losses of NOK 5.0 billion in 2006, compared with exchange gains of NOK 8.1 billion in 2005. Exchange losses due to the appreciation of the krone have no effect on the international purchasing power of the foreign exchange reserves.
At the end of 2006, Norges Bank's international reserves amounted to NOK 254.6 billion at market value when account is taken of repurchase agreements and deposits. This is NOK 2.6 billion less than at end-2005. The decline is due largely to the appreciation of NOK.
After the year's allocations, the Adjustment Fund amounts to NOK 73.0 billion. As there are no funds in the Transfer Fund, no transfer will be made to the Treasury.

The All Party Parliamentary Group for M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) strives to support the improvement of health and social care of all people with M.E. in the UK. All APPGs were dissolved at the end of the last Parliament before the general election. Arrangements are being made to re-register this group as a matter of urgency.
An inaugural meeting of the APPG for ME will be held by David Amess MP on Wednesday 30th June, at Westminster.
The agenda will deal with appointment of office holders and members only and due to limitations of time and space it will not be possible to open the meeting to the public on this occasion. This is in order to ensure that the vital work required to re-register the APPG is carried out in a timely manner for the 13th July deadline.
It is vital that as many MPs as possible join the group as we need to identify at least 20 Parliamentarians to act as qualifying members. These must include at least ten who are not part of the government and of which at least six are members of the main opposition party i.e. Labour.
If you would like to help please send your local MP an email or letter asking them to join the APPG. There is a draft letter here to help get you started.
It would be good to try to get some useful people on there, and we should definitely try to make sure there's a committee going. I'll try to write something this week.
