Life Before Series...
For some time now we've been contemplating writing a series of focused articles on very specific subjects – the kind of things school children rarely read about in their history text books.
The writings will be made available in paper form as well. Called "The Before… Series." We are concentrating on the decade of the 1920's – a time of great change, social upheaval, easy credit, hard roads, electricity, radios, golf.
Yet it was also a time when most McHenry County residents still live on family farms, attended one-room schools and remembered the so-called "Good Old Days."
In 1917, as the United States slid to war with Germany, a group of women approached the White House in Washington, D. C. They stood quietly at the home of President Wilson. The banners that they wore draped from shoulder to waist proclaimed them to be "Silent Sentinels;" women who wanted the President and Congress to take action to give all American women of age the right to vote in all elections. Members of this group stood continuous vigil until after the Congress accepted Wilson's proposal to allow the states to ratify the 19th amendment. On June 10, 1919, Illinois became the very first state to vote in favor of that ratification.
Surprisingly, especially considering all that has been said, much of it greatly romanticized, about the "ratification struggle," McHenry County newspapers took almost no notice at all of that ratification. The truth of the matter is that McHenry County women were, since 1913, free to vote in township and municipal elections. Women in many trans Mississippian states held the right to vote in local and state elections, in some cases, as early as the 1890's. This early exercise of the local franchise by women as well as the November 1917 mobilization of women in the nation to do important war work made county, state, and national woman's suffrage almost a foregone conclusion at the end of World War I.
The Illinois local woman's suffrage struggle which culminated in 1913 can not correctly be described neatly and cleanly only in terms of whether women had the right to vote. The story deeply involves the various county chapters of the Illinois "Anti-Saloon League" and the Women's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU). In McHenry County, both groups had extremely active chapters led by women of great note in the county. Hand in hand with these groups was a political movement called "Progressivism" which was sweeping the nation in the first decade of the 20th century. Progressives, like Theodore Roosevelt who ran for the Presidency in 1912 as a "Progressive," believed that the nation could be a better place if a variety of social reforms were accomplished through national, state, and local legislation. It was believed that an important key to this legislation was women who were, at that time, believed to be the best and highest holders of social morals. Progressives believed that if women were to be allowed to exercise the franchise they would surely vote in favor of "progressive" educational, justice, and environmental reforms.
A classic example of "progressive womanhood" in McHenry County was Marengo's Elizabeth Sisson Shurtleff, the wife of Edward D. Shurtleff who happened to be, between 1901 and 1910, the powerful Speaker of the House of the Illinois General Assembly. Active in both the McHenry County chapters of the Anti-Saloon League and the WCTU, Elizabeth Shurtleff believed strongly that if the widespread use and sale of alcoholic beverages could be contained, even eliminated, families would become more stable, children would be happier, and public education would flourish. Her husband supported her in her beliefs and activities.
In 1915 in "Progressive" fashion, Shurtleff worked with the noted Jane Addams to introduce a bill in the Illinois House to ban the employment of children under the age of 16 (with certain exceptions) in Illinois. Although Edward Shurtleff had given up the Speakership in 1910 because of his alleged involvement in the bribery scandal which forced William Lorimer to resign his US Senate seat (Chicago newspapers called Shurtleff a "bag man" for Lorimer), he was able to retain both the trust of his community's residents and his seat as a state representative.
Those who saw the saloon (aka – neighborhood tavern) as being necessary to the happiness and contentment of the average working man went to great lengths to convince newspaper readers and any others who would listen that "Woman's suffrage will double the irresponsible vote. It is a menace to the home, men's employment, and to all business."
The Anti-Saloon League believed that if women were allowed to vote, their votes would go far to implement programs bringing excessive drinking to an end and, thus, bringing about improved home and community environments.
In May of 1913, the Illinois Senate, under the sponsorship of Republican turned Progressive, Hugh S. Magill, passed a bill to allow women to vote in township and community elections by a vote of 29 to 15. This action raised the ire of Democrat Anton Cermack of Chicago, who would later become the mayor of Chicago (and vacationed often in Fox River Grove), who was pushing a variety of legislative initiatives catering to the needs of the state's saloon and tavern owners. Cermack believed that Shurtleff would, regardless of the appeals of Shurtleff's wife, support his pro-saloon stance, especially since Hugh Magill was the very man who had led the charge against Lorimer going to the United States Senate.
The leadership of the Anti-Saloon League responded to Cermack's actions in the House by appointing, based on the recommendations of the lady leaders of the WCTU, a number of floor captains in support of the suffrage bill. One such floor captain was, at the quiet insistence of Elizabeth Shurtleff, her husband, Edward. The WOODSTOCK SENTINEL reported (June 12, 1913, page 1) that, as the time for the vote on the bill arrived on June 11 "None of the former Speaker's close friends dreamed for a moment that he would vote for the woman's bill." The CHICAGO INTER-OCEAN reported (June 12, 1913) that the passage of the bill was questionable when Edward Shurtleff asked to speak. The MARENGO REPUBLICAN, Shurtleff's home town newspaper stated (June 13, 1913, page 4) that "Shurtleff made a speech that electrified the members and snatched the suffrage bill from [failing] at that critical moment." As reported in the INTER-OCEAN, Shurtleff said
For five months we have witnessed the spectacle of a moving picture show over this state at which fallen women were exploited for the edification of our citizens. That spectacle has brought me to the opinion that if that is the best men can do in legislative halls, then it is high time that we took the women into our councils and turned over to them the work of rescue. That is a woman's work and I am now ready to put aside my prejudices and hand over to the women of Illinois the right to say what shall be done in matters of this kind. Mr. Speaker, I vote "Aye!" on this bill.
Shurtleff's vote on the measure was enough to convince those friends and allies he had made in the House while he was its Speaker, to bring 83 votes in support of the measure, 6 more than were necessary for passage.
The WOODSTOCK SENTINEL published a report (June 13, 1913) that shortly before the passage of the Illinois suffrage bill the noted English suffragette, Emily Pankhurst, visited Woodstock and participated in a Suffrage Rights parade around the Square with members of the Oliver Typewriter "repair, experimental, and power departments." The columnist vacuously reported that the
… winsome Emily, gowned in one of Gay Paree's latest creations headed a parade up Main Street, around the square and down Benton Street to the ardent Emily's headquarters at the Oliver Typewriter plant [followed by] tube skirt, sheath skirt, overdrape, underdrape, tunic and Balkan blouse to say nothing of the divided skirt which received undivided attention.
The paper had nothing to say about the right to vote granted to women. Similar to other McHenry County newspapers, the HARVARD HERALD of June 26, 1913 printed a long article describing those offices for which women could vote. They were municipal and township offices only. The article stated that
Illinois enjoys the distinction of being the first large state in the union to grant women limited suffrage and the first state east of the Mississippi River to give women the vote privilege, though the ladies will not be vested with power to vote for every elective office because this can not be granted until the federal constitution is amended.
The McHENRY PLAINDEALER reported in its March 19, 1914 edition that the annual McHenry Township election would actually have a contest for one of the three offices, that of Township Collector. Not only would there be a rare contest for a position but the contest was between a man and a woman. The paper reported that "The present incumbent [John Niesen] is a man with many friends [and] has held the office for a number of terms." Niesen's opponent was Mrs. Mayme Harrison. The reporter then editorialized that
We believe that both candidates are well worthy and ably qualified to fulfill the duties of the said office. This places the voters in a rather difficult position as both candidates have no other means of support and it will be hard to choose between the two.
The PLAINDEALER reported the results of the contest in its March 26, 1914 issue. The reporter wrote
We have heard it said that the women of McHenry, when it came to voting time, would not go to the polls, but from the showing made last Saturday we may rest assured that the fair voters of this town and village can take care of their political duties just as well as the men and we see where the women will interest themselves more and more as years go on and we predict that it will not be long before they have politics well in hand.
The results of the election were 272 votes for Mayme Harrison and 447 votes for John Niesen.
The CRYSTAL LAKE HERALD of April 16, 1914 reported that Nettie Teckler was the first woman to cast a ballot in that community.
In sum, when the issue of national woman's suffrage came before President Wilson in 1918, the issue had already been decided in McHenry County. Women were already showing considerable political strength by voting in appreciable numbers in those elections were they could. They had already proven themselves when the 19th Amendment was passed. The prognostication of the reporter of the McHENRY PLAINDEALER as to the role of women in American politics was vindicated.

Standard Cognition Opens Cashierless Store In San Francisco
September 7, 2018 at 8:40 PM EDT
By Glenn Taylor
Yet another cashierless store has opened in the San Francisco Bay Area, ramping up the heated battle to see who can deliver frictionless checkout the fastest. Standard Cognition, an AI-powered autonomous checkout company that has labeled itself as "an alternative to Amazon Go," has opened a concept called Standard Market.
Standard Market is the third cashierless store that has popped up in the region within the past month. Two competitors of Standard Cognition, Zippin and Inokyo, have both opened similar stores, and Amazon Go is reportedly building one of their own.
Located at 1071 Market Street in San Francisco, this is Standard Cognition's first public store; the company previously operated a private store in Palo Alto, Calif. The store will sell a mix of food, cleaning supplies and general household and convenience store items.
The 1,900-square-foot store will be a testing ground for the Standard Cognition technology, which relies on cameras placed within the store to identify people that walk in. Customers use the Standard Checkout mobile app to check in, and the camera identifies everything they are carrying and bills them as they exit the store.
Starting Sept. 10, the store will initially only be open two days a week, then three days a week later in the month, a company spokesperson told VentureBeat. Initially, only three shoppers will be allowed in the store at any one time. The number of shoppers, the range of product offerings and the store hours all are expected to increase in the coming weeks, according to a press release.
"The public opening of our Standard Market store is the culmination of nearly two years of work by the Standard team," said Jordan Fisher, Co-Founder and CEO of Standard Cognition in a statement. "We're excited to be able to welcome customers to the Standard Market, and give shoppers a glimpse of the future of retail. We'll be constantly adding new features and are excited for customers to experience the magic of autonomous checkout."

Dear All,Some people are promoting Give Up and Adopt Plan of the company as investment plan of Rs. 200 with return of Rs. 450 in 12 months, which is incorrect. Company does not promote any sort of Investment Plan. GIVE UP AND ADOPT PLAN is a GUARANTEED DEVELOPMENT PLAN not a guaranteed return plan, in this plan a customer books a plot by giving a token amount (i.e. about 40% of the plot value). If customer is not satisfied he can get the same cancelled anytime within a year as per company's policy or waits for one year to monitor development at site. If customer is satisfied with the development he shall pay the balance amount and continue with the plot (Adopt) or get it registered, and if the customer is not satisfied he can sell the plot through any associate or company's resale policy at that time and get the benefit of current rate of the site.Due to this miss sale of some people in the market company has stopped the plan with immediate effect.

The waiting room feels normal, filling out the paperwork same o same o. Walk to the exam room and go through the same motions..... remove your top. Stand here, put your arm here, hold still while the machine makes it's cycling noises, don't move, Squash Squash!! Ok turn this way and put your arm up and hold this railing. Be still and don't move again, Squash!
Soon the 'screening' mammogram is over and the technician tells you to get dressed. While she hurries to collect and send off the images to the radiologist, a woman's mind is racing. What did you see on the screen? Can you tell me? As usual the technician looks down and says she can't answer your questions. It will be seen by the radiologist and then sent to the Dr for review. If they need to do more tests those are called 'diagnostic' mammograms and you will need to schedule again. You will get a letter in the mail with the results. It takes time...... more time than any woman wants to want to find out if her world is going to be turned upside down. Hurry up to wait...... and wonder..... and worry.
What should you do in the meantime while the systems of healthcare go through their regular 8-5 jobs, holding your life in their hands? Put your Mammogram results in God's hands - He already knows you from the inside out. He is able to take care of this situation like He has taken care of all of your other situations in life! Lift your arms and give it all into His Hands.
Don't wait on man, just do this...... "They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength'. Wait on God.
Ladies have you had your Mammogram yet this month? While it could be put off...... the value of prevention and early detection far outweighs the hassle and waiting that goes along with the whole Mammo scene. So don't put it off..... book your appointment NOW! If it's been a while since you have had this test, you may be pleasantly surprised at the updated equipment now in use across the US. The 3D imaging machine really is an upgrade in showing more details to the radiologist. Better testing means better results for every woman, AND easier to deal with the process as well.

10 Reasons The Future Will Be Terrifying
by Morris M.
fact checked by Matt Hayes
There are two popular ways of looking at the future: as a place where all our problems will disappear where and everyone will be happy, or as a wasteland of unremitting bleakness. Right now, my money's on the unremitting bleakness. And with good reason: from technology to weather-patterns to our own government, everything in the future wants us dead—and it wants to kill us in the most terrifying way possible. Think I'm joking? Then how do you explain:
10Terminators
LARs may sound like the name of a laid-back Dutch stoner, but it's really an acronym for something far more terror-inducing: Lethal Autonomous Robots. And they do exactly what they say on the tin. Basically, LARs are autonomous war machines we'll send into combat zones instead of troops—programmed to super-kill everything that crosses their path. In other words, they're precisely what James Cameron dreamt up thirty-odd years ago, crossed with "that" scene from Robocop.
Obviously, the rationale behind this is a sensible one; sending our future-robotic overlords into battle in place of soldiers will (presumably) save a whole load of lives. Recent experiments with drones, however, have already proven that automation tends to lead to massive civilian casualties and an increase of paranoia and extremism in the affected areas. So if drones are already driving more people to Al-Qaeda, then imagine what a fleet of Terminators terrorising North-West Pakistan might do for recruitment. And while we're on the subject of drones…
9Domestic Drones
One of the more-unsettling revelations we've had this month is that the FBI routinely deploys drones over American soil. Unlike the behemoths that float over the Middle East, raining hellfire death on weddings and suchlike, these "domestic" drones are about the size of a model airplane—and they're used exclusively for surveillance. Given what we've recently learned about the NSA, the idea of fleets of spy drones continuously monitoring the civilian population should be worrying enough; and it might be about to get a whole lot worse.
Scientists are now on the verge of constructing fully-autonomous bee-sized robots. Once that happens, it's only a small step before we find microscopic cameras swarming across our skies, monitoring our every move. At that point we can kiss our privacy goodbye. All of us—me, you, your girlfriend, your mom—will be under what will basically amount to 24/7 surveillance. It sounds like the stuff of paranoid nightmares—but so does an unaccountable government organisation constantly monitoring all our communications. And, as with the NSA, we probably won't know about it until it's already happening.
8Rising Sea Levels
There's no doubt about it: our climate is changing. We recently hit the historical milestone of four hundred parts of carbon dioxide per million in the atmosphere, and all signs are pointing towards a forthcoming "climateocalypse." Of all the doomsday scenarios that might occur as a result of this development, perhaps none is more dramatic than rising sea levels. Currently, fifty percent of the world's population lives in coastal areas—and as "The Day After Tomorrow" taught us, human beings and dramatic flooding don't exactly mix.
For a sneak-peek of the upcoming planetary devastation, you need only glance at the Alaskan village of Newtok. Within as little as five years, the entire township of four hundred people is predicted to be underwater, with the US Army Corps of Engineers estimating that the town's highest point will vanish beneath the waves in 2017. But it's not just small communities that will be hit. Current estimates suggest that Venice will be uninhabitable by 2100, with Amsterdam and Los Angeles being deserted fifty years later. When that happens, there will be a large number of homeless, helpless people flooding into the "safer" cities—triggering an enormous battle for resources that will pose a threat to all of us, regardless of whether or not we live on a hillside.
7The Next Pandemic
We in 2013 are seriously overdue for a pandemic. There have been ripples: SARS in the early 2000s, swine flu in 2009, and the ever-present threat of bird flu—but the last time the globe suffered from an epoch-shattering flu-explosion was too long ago. And that's worrying, because it means that the chances of a big one turning up are getting higher and higher.
Make no mistake—a proper pandemic could do everything from crashing the world economy to wiping out five percent of the global population. When the biggest flu pandemic ever recorded touched down in 1918, it tore a hole through the population bigger than that caused by World War One itself. At its height, the Spanish Flu was killing a million people a week—giving it a greater body count in one year than the Black Death managed in a century. And we're currently due for another one. It may not be quite so bad, and it may take a few more years to arrive—but the scary thing is that it's coming, and there's nothing we can do to prevent it.
6Antibiotic Resistant Microbes
But hey, we might not even stick around long enough to make it to Spanish Flu II. You've probably heard of antibiotic resistance; basically, it's the thing most likely to kill you in the next fifty years. Thanks to decades of over-prescription, bacteria are getting used to our normal, everyday medicines. So we should just prescribe something stronger, right? Certainly—until the super-pills stop working too, that is. At which point we're in deep trouble.
This isn't some dystopian nightmare; it's happening right now. According to the World Health Organisation, four hundred thousand resistant infections currently occur each year in Europe alone, leading to 25,000 deaths. And the problem's getting worse: as more third-rate doctors throw unnecessary prescriptions to masses of patients, and more farmers pump their livestock full of antibiotics, the resistance level increases until . . . who knows? We find a new "wonder medicine"—or lose every single health advantage we've gained over the last century.
5Peak Oil
Did you hear the news? Peak Oil—the point at which global oil production goes into terminal decline, leading to a Mad Max-style wasteland—is apparently dead. According to Time, developments such as fracking have "loosened the oil market," meaning that this particular brand of Armageddon will never come. That was a close call, wasn't it?
Far from it. The problem with Time's report is that it's basically nonsense. Don't believe me? Here's the guy who invented the term "peak oil," explaining why it's still on course. And here's the Washington Post saying exactly the same thing. No matter how much we invest in alternative extraction methods, oil is a finite resource. Peak Oil is as inevitable as sunrise or bad Eddie Murphy movies—the only question is "when." Scarily, the answer might be "now." There's research out there which suggests that our current financial collapse may have been made worse by slowing oil production; meaning that total economic meltdown may only be a few short years away.
4Growing Extremism
As I've mentioned before, the world is fast becoming a scary, hate-filled place. We're all aware of the persistent threat of terrorism and our own terror-inducing response to terrorism; but this modern spread of extremism goes deeper than that.
Take Greece. The cradle of Western civilisation recently tumbled down a financial black hole; and the results have not been pretty. Amidst the festering gloom, fascist movements have sprouted like toadstools. One of them—Golden Dawn—currently attracts thousands of otherwise regular people to their rallies—despite their known tendency to murder immigrants. With the situation across the whole of Europe volatile, it's only too easy to imagine that we're witnessing a repeat of the 1930s, having completely failed to learn from history.
Even in our own backyard, extremism is on the rise. Last year, the Southern Poverty Law Centre documented a record number of so-called "patriot" groups—factions like the KKK that are so rightwing they would rather see their nation burn than deviate from their own plans. So long as the economy spirals, these guys will keep surfacing: and the global recession doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.
3Mechanization
I've got bad news for you, kids. No matter how hard you study, no matter what degree you do, you're going to spend the majority of your life underemployed and under-paid. And for this you can blame the robots.
That last link goes to a piece seemingly designed to shatter all your hopes for the future. Right now, it seems that we're on the verge of a major AI breakthrough. Most predictions indicate that it will happen around 2025, at which point the labour market will completely collapse. A true AI breakthrough would mean constructing machines that can do everything a human can. Since machines don't take breaks, ask for higher wages, or browse popular websites when they're meant to be working, there'll be literally no reason for employers to keep us human beings in work.
When that happens, the entire social model will go into free fall. Can you imagine the government supporting practically the entire population through hand-outs? Of course not. So what will happen? Crippling unemployment, social unrest and protracted misery seems likely for all of us. Robots will one day make better doctors, stockbrokers, CEOs and (unfortunately) article writers than we do. See you in the unemployment line in 2025.
2The New Social Contract
The social contract as we know it may not even last until the robot uprising. You've probably heard some idiot politician or other say that we need to be "more like China." Well, that's currently happening—in the same way that China is slowly becoming more like the US. As the West erodes workers' rights and China drops that whole "communism" thing in favour of full-throated capitalism, the dividing line between the two is starting to look increasingly thin.
Sound paranoid? Okay then, how about we answer the following questions: Which government spies on its citizens? Both. Which government prosecutes dissenting journalists for trying to do their jobs? Both. Which government "disappears" and locks up innocent people it doesn't like, holding them indefinitely without charge? Both. Still think I'm overstating this? Here's the artist Ai Weiwei, who suffered atrociously under the hands of Chinese state police, saying that he's finding it worryingly hard to tell the difference.
Now, I'm not saying that our societies are identical. Currently, I'd take the West over China any day. But as we struggle to compete against each other in the near-future, we're going to see our two cultures becoming more and more alike in all but superficial rhetoric. It's like the final line of Animal Farm:
"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."
1Global Famine
Thanks to freak weather patterns, economic unrest, and a ballooning population, we're currently on course for a future of mass starvation. In 2008, the price of grain skyrocketed, leaving a lot of people hungry at best and dead at worst. And that's just a taster of things to come. According to the Guardian, we're standing on the precipice of global catastrophe—and if you think it's not going to affect you, then think again.
See, hungry people tend not just to lie down and die. On the contrary—they tend to get very angry. You've probably heard of the French Revolution—the uprising of peasants that led to The Terror, a period which saw more than forty thousand people lose their lives. One of the main causes of the revolution was the famine then gripping the country. Or to take another example from history, consider the Irish Potato Famine, which went the other way thanks to British intervention, and saw the deaths of around 1.5 million ordinary people. A true global famine could see riots, revolutions, and social unrest grip the entire world—with devastating consequences. And according to the UN itself, this could happen sometime in 2013.

The sixth and final stage of the Santos Tour Down Under brought Fork on the Road's 'Tour De Fork' to Elder Park, where all was set to celebrate a super sunny ending to the renowned event, with family fun and good food. Lucky for us, with the festivities came an invite to try out the brand new menu at Feisty Filomena's food truck, where its owners graciously greeted us with big friendly smiles and a feast that we got to enjoy with a view (hungry swans included).
First we tried a Body Bag of Hot Chips. Sure, you figure hot chips are hot chips, but with a thin, crisp outer, and so soft and fluffy on the inside, these are an offer you can't refuse. It's just old fashioned, good quality carb, and they were wonderfully consistent and perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of salt.
Next was definitely a favourite – Nonna's Balls; a serving of two, wonderfully crisp rice arancini balls that were infused with saffron, porcini mushroom and fontina cheese. There was an excellent balance between the porcini and the fontina, while both subtle, along with the saffron giving the perfect hint of spice while creating a beautiful golden colouring for the rice; which was so well cooked and seasoned. Add the melty fontina cheese centre and it made for great texture contrast to the crispy crumb – a delight to eat!
Then we had the Eggplant Parmigiana Stack – and stacked it was with a rather generous serving! Filomena's follows tradition with this Italian classic, showcasing a rich, herb based sauce amongst the layers of eggplant and mozzarella cheese. While the eggplant had more of an earthy taste, the cheese was in good ratio to the other elements, not too much of one element in a bite, and the top was melted to perfection.
Fat Tony's Fingers were up next; and please, don't be fooled by the cleverly appetising mob-themed name. Now it goes without saying, growing up on my own Nonna's food and still enjoying it to this day, it's a tough pot to crack when it comes to tomato sauce. However, it was to my delight that Filomena's sauce was once again featured in this dish! It was well seasoned, with a great tang from the rich tomato flavour, which is one of my favourite things about a good tomato sauce. Even with the richness, there was also a subtle sweetness, and it didn't at all overpower the breaded chicken, which was moist and not too thick – so each of these chicken parmigiana tenders were well balanced. Showcasing again some perfectly melty cheese topping, and the fresh basil garnish was such a great flavour addition in the aftertaste… and of course the dish was only made better by some more of those fat crunchy chips.
Our last dish was a Slice of Sicily; a pizza slice, topped with italian sausage, fresh tomato, roasted peppers, caramelised onions and cheese – this combination was such a pleasant surprise and quite possibly our favourite! The base wasn't too thick and allowed for the toppings to really shine, and so they did. The saltiness of the italian sausage and cheese, combined with the acidity of fresh tomato and sweetness of red peppers and caramelised onions was so well received. Specifically the caramelised onion, it was defintiely the star for me – and not being so typically sauce based, it was a refreshing take on the all-time classic slice of pizza and we loved it.
The well thought flavours, quality ingredients and generous portions were an ode to passionate Italian home cooking! This truck is a fantastic way to experience some good street style Italian with convenience and value for money.
You can find where Feisty Filomena is serving up her Nonna's street style food next here.
Now I have a massive craving for all of the above! Can't wait to visit.


Geoff Kabush (Scott Maxxis) went off the front of the race with five laps remaining. He was able to hold off the peloton and take the win despite the determined efforts of several riders. Todd Wells (SRAM-TLD) finished second, while Brian Matter (Linear Sport Racing) finished a close third.
Geoff Kabush explained, "For the first ten, twelve, fourteen minutes there were some attacks and I was just feeling out the speed in the corners. Once things started to settle down I just countered one move and wasn't fully committed but they let me get ten seconds. I just tried to ride really smooth and hit it in the headwind on the backside. When the laps started counting down I knew that people would start to get a bit discouraged and hesitate. I just kept it rolling and was happy to see the three, two, one (laps) to go."
Katerina Nash (Clif Pro Team), the most successful short track racer in history, rode a tactically perfect race to win the Fat Tire Crit on the final lap. Her teammate Maghalie Rochette set up the win by attacking the peloton and riding off the front for several laps. It forced others to chase her down while Nash sat in and kept her powder dry. Amy Beisel (Pro Cycling) finished second and local favourite Alexis Skarda (Stans NoTubes) took third place. Her work done, Rochette rolled in to take eighth place.
USA Marathon Champion Rose Grant (Stans NoTubes), a favorite this weekend, was leading the race early on when she slid out in a corner and re-injured her dislocated shoulder. She was taken to hospital and is unlikely to race in the cross-country event on Sunday.
Katerina Nash was ecstatic about Rochette's effort. She remarked, "She did all the work. She did all the work. We were the only two out there (in the lead group) who had teammates so we definitely wanted to use that to our advantage. It was super windy and Maghalie went out there in put in the perfect attack, and I thought she was going to stay away. It was so close."
Rochette added, "I wanted to try something and I wanted it to stick until the end, but at the same time I knew that if they caught me that Katerina was in good position. It was awesome.

Another day passes and yet another gun control idea comes out of California.
The left-leaning state has begun eyeing a new law that would increase the purchasing age for rifles and shotguns from 18 to 21. Florida recently passed similar legislation in a hasty reaction to the tragic school shooting that took place in Parkland, FL.
"California would raise the age for buying rifles and shotguns from 18 to 21 and bar people from buying more than one long gun each month under a bill advancing in the Legislature.
As many Americans know, gun control does next to nothing when it comes to stopping a criminal from obtaining a gun. In the end, most gun laws only affect law-abiding American citizens.
This law will no doubt be a campaign issue for the upcoming midterm elections in November.

The new SS17 Dreamcatcher collection is already in stores now and even though we dream of 25 degrees and a blue sky, we will still have to wait a couple of months before we can leave the jacket at home and stroll down the sidewalk in a silk blouse and a light poncho.
But it does not mean that we cannot start dreaming about it 🙂 This week's "Get the look" is a classic spring outfit. Our Vermont poncho in cotton can be used as is with a pair of jeans, but can also be super cool when you style it with a silk tunic. Do not be afraid to style it with a printed tunic! Another way to incorporate print is to add a printed scarf to your hat. On the photo below we have added our Terna scarf in Ivory to a straw hat to give it a bohemian feel.

The new Parliament may be about to rise for the summer but there has been just time enough for the first meeting of the All-Party Group (APG) on Legal Aid, which has been newly constituted with the former Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer QC elected, unopposed, as chair.
YLAL is concerned that the government has decided to proceed with plans to cut criminal legal aid by a further 8.75%, introduce dual contracts for Duty and Own Client work and restrict the number of Duty contracts available to 527 without any further consultation with the profession, other than an email 48 hours before the cuts were announced, asking for information to be provided within 24 hours on the impact on firms of the initial 8.75% cut. This can in no way be seen to be a proper consultation.

Inhoud

Inleiding tot het hoorspel: "Sinds onheuglijke tijden beschuldigen geldzuchtige mensen over de ganse wereld mijn landslieden van geldzucht. Men haalt hierbij alle mogelijke financiële transacties en beursspeculaties als bewijzen aan. Hier te lande wordt sinds korte tijd een nieuw bewijs aan die lange lijst toegevoegd: het voetbalspel. Onze amateurvoetballers wordt namelijk verweten dat zij al te zeer op snood geldgewin uit zijn, en dit verwijt komt uitgerekend van diegenen die met voetbal grof geld verdienen. Het antwoord van de gewraakte sportbeoefenaars hoort u in volgende sketch." In het hoorspel wordt op meesterlijke wijze beschreven hoe een nationale "voetbalheilige", Pomi genaamd, in alle opzichten wordt vereerd en in de watten gelegd. Het clubbestuur is doodsbenauwd dat hun grote idool zal worden weggekocht en "beschermt" de man tegen alle aasgieren die om hem heen cirkelen…

when you are running there will be a most efficient indicated speed. Some speed up or down from that depending on what the current is doing will yield the best MPG so some GPS information would be useful but a close enough approximation can be made just by knowing the current speed which can be learned by looking at it. Drifting down stream will be 999999999mpg but that is not useful information.
The OP already has a speed sensor. That will give a good deal of information if the signal is compatible, if not *shrug* the speedometer with knowing the GPH is nearly as good.
Increasing speed over that needed to be on plane is not likely to increase MPG. Yes there is less hull in the water but the force needed to lift the weight of the boat up on step is the same at 25 as at 50mph. The smaller contact area is doing the same lifting by hitting a smaller number of water molecules faster so the drag is about the same. Increasing speed will increase the amount of drag from the lower unit.
the second example, coasting back with the engine off, highlights a key point though. It is not instantaneous mpg that is important, but average. If you use a gallon of gas to go 5 miles up river and float back, the trip mpg with the whizwheel will be something between 5mpg and ??? (because it did not accurately detect the return trip and you spent time in different currents, maybe you were anchored for a while and it kept spinning), but with a gps the Actual mpg will be 10mpg. The drifting downstream at 999999 is terribly important for your trip averages.

If you are counting it as a 10 mile trip why could you not put 10 miles into the Whiz wheel and find the average for the whole trip? If you derived your distance from a map, you would have an accurate distance.
A GPS will continue to output speed when anchored. Due to how it calculates speed and the error every time it recalculates position, as well as when swinging on the rode.
I once averaged 3 knots while tied to a pier for a couple hours, some of that was stretching of the lines, most of it was position error.
A GPS coupled MPGuino would be very fine for tuning speed and knowing how much to increase speed to compensate for running against the current but with the equipment the OP already has a close approximation can be done from the speed of the boat through the water.
I would love to have a fuel totalizator coupled to a GPS in the plane it would let me know how much to increase airspeed to compensate for headwind. But a whiz wheel and fuel consumption information would do just as well.

My mistake, when I heard the term whizwheel, I envisioned a paddlewheel or impellor type speed sensor. I didn't realize an antiquated navigation device was being brought into the discussion.
While I encourage everyone to be able to use maps, I think a more automated solution is preferrable here.
A GPS will continue to output speed when anchored.
Good to know. It also puts out grid coordinates too so that it *might* be compensated for (i.e. computer says your x or y haven't changed by more than .0002 for 7 minutes, I will just pretend you are sitting still then), as opposed to manually entering in current river speed or something. I don't know what a good absolute threshold is without experimenting.

Absolutely, I don't know anything about the onboard speed signal though (well I can guess).
But a whiz wheel and fuel consumption information would do just as well.

This has been a great discussion, Thanks!
My course forward is to use the Paddle Wheel transducer since it is existing equipment. From there I can calibrate the MPGuino's speed against the existing Speedo & GPS in a lake. That leaves me with figuring out uS/Gallon.
With the MPGuino, is there a way to reveal the total injector micro-seconds for the most recent trip? If there is, then I can calibrate the uS/Gallon.
Hi, I'm new here (occasional past lurker) and I'm interested in this GPS/MPGuino concept. I've got a converted 1.0L Geo Metro engine powering an Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (ELSA). It's a 1990 model engine with factory ECU and throttle body fuel injection, so I think the injector feed should be easy to identify and connect, but in the ELSA application, I don't have speed data.
Would one of you knowledgeable folks know if a 'gps module' - like what's referenced here - is straightforward enough to use for 'speed' that an electronics novice (with decent soldering skills and aptitude) could make it work?
As a little additional background on this ELSA, I made some significant aerodynamic improvements to it a few years back with streamlined strut fairings, gap seals, vortex generators, and a few other subtle, but additive, improvements. I learned a lot in the process and increased the flight envelope by around 20 mph; approx 10 mph lower stall speed, and approx 10 mph faster straight and level flight.
Now I'd like to be able to collect some fuel efficiency data, as well as potentially increase awareness of fuel consumed and in reserve.
In anticipation of the question, I'm quite alright with the speed data being 'ground reference' rather than airspeed.
Thanks in advance for any advice. If I hear that GPS/MPGuino should be relatively straightforward, my next Internet stop will be to buy an MPGuino and other necessary parts.
current is everything in a boat.
how will you KNOW what your efficiency IS if you don't value the current into the equation? did you get better efficiency because you balanced it right? trimmed it right? or because you had a 3mph current pushing you along faster.
Remember in a car a head wind or tail wind will "move" you but with a boat the "ROAD" can move WITH OR AGAINST YOU since its "fluid"
I am not even sure how to do that? would paddle wheel be the equiv of air speed and GPS be your ground speed?
how would you calc that into a guino?
I have a feeling its going to be a VERY tough nut to crack and your going to go with Gallons per Hour for your fuel economy.
IE use time not distance to gauge your efficiency since water speed like air speed is a value NOT under your control.
Really it is only part of the picture. I think it is a legacy measurement (because they didn't have a better way to measure miles made good) that only complicates efficiency measurements.
It would be like saying headwinds and tailwinds are everything to a car, when measuring actual ground distance traveled is still the critical metric along with fuel used. Measuring windspeed might be a nice addition when rationalizing the currently displayed mpg number, but it is a tertiary bit of information when it comes to fuel used and distance traveled.


Sports nutrition continues to be a vast and varied sector within the dietary supplement industry. Appealing to athletes and casual fitness enthusiasts alike, it's crucial for marketers, distributors, and manufacturers to determine which ingredients are trending in the market. One such ingredient is whey protein isolate, a dairy protein that contains the highest amount of amino acids for better muscle support and recovery by quickening muscle protein synthesis. Recent studies conducted on whey protein have highlighted its popularity in a number of sports nutrition products, from traditional shakes to other delivery forms such as nutrition bars and sports drinks.

A Lesson Plan for Remaking New York City Government

Office of the Mayor, Adi Talwar, Eileen Markey
The powers of the mayor, the process for deciding how land is used, the responsibility for homeless services and oversight of the police are among the areas where the Charter lays down the law.
As governing documents go, the New York City charter is pretty prosaic. No painstakingly preserved copy of the original exists in a hermetically sealed case. There have been no musicals about it, and it is unlikely there will ever be a museum dedicated to it. It lacks the pioneering aura of the Flushing Remonstrance or the legendary backstory of the Connecticut Royal Charter (which settlers supposedly hid in a tree to keep the English from taking it back).
All the charter is is very important to the everyday operation of the largest city in the United States—to the separation of power, checks and balances, the governing of land, the transparency of city services.
Three proposals to change the charter are on the ballot for this November, products of a mayoral commission that met earlier this year. A more fundamental set of changes is likely to be considered by a second commission launched by the City Council and meeting over the next several months.
That presents an opportunity to change how power is apportioned and authority wielded in the city. And so Generation Citizen, a nonprofit that engages young people around the country in project-based learning involving real-life civic engagement, is hoping to equip New York's eighth through 12th graders to take a hand at shaping that change.
GC has released a curriculum for school teachers to use to bring students up to date on the charter and help them select elements they want to change, scrap or add, and then work to make that happen. It's a two-lesson plan (GC also offers a semester long Action Civics course) that emphasizes that "All action is purposeful and valuable."
City Limits spoke with DeNora Getachew, the New York City Executive Director for Generation Citizen (GC) and Martin Mintz, the organization's New York City program manager about the effort. The lesson plans (which would be helpful to non-teachers and non-students for their clear explanation of how the charter works and what's at stake in the revision process) follow:
CL: If you were approached by an eighth or 12th grader who asked, why does the city Charter matter, what would you say?
Mintz: It's a really great question because I think the charter itself is something that a lot of people—students and adults—might not even know exists. But I'll answer that question by saying that it affects how our city runs no matter who you are living in our city, whether you are zero or 100. And the charter revision itself is your chance to have a say in our how the charter is written, how it affects your community.
Getachew: It goes to the heart of our mission here at GC, which is why we focus on local politics. We care about how our city is governed and want to make sure it's responsive to our needs, and we want our charter to reflect that. It's a chance to weigh in on that at the most local level.
CL: How much of this is about teaching kids about the charter issue and how much of it is kind of a primer on city government writ large?
Mintz: The first part of the lesson plan really does teach students about the history of the charter and specifically the city's two charter revision commissions. So a good part of it is about understanding, A, how does a charter affect my city and my life?, but also, how is it actually working in a local government? … We have the mayor's three issues up for a vote in November and then the second revision commission that our students would actually be—through the lesson plans—taking action to share their ideas. … Once they develop an understanding of what's inside the charter, that next step is the action part. We want kids to be interacting with this charter but creating an action step afterwards: that first step would be identifying a topic, a specific thing they would like to amend or revise and then sharing that with those who are listening to them, making sure their voices are a that table as well.
Getachew: What is very powerful about this moment and what was the impetus for us in creating the lesson is there's this incredible momentum in favor of youth led change and abysmal turnout, if you will, at the local level in our elections. In the 2017 elections, 23 percent of New Yorkers turned out to vote to elect their mayoral and city council, et cetera. When you look under the hood of that, it's about 11 percent of eligible youth. And yet those same young people sit in GC classes and want to make their voices heard and don't always feel like they have the tools to do so. So we always talk about, what is in in your advocacy tool kit? What are the tools you can use to make change? If young people actually want to make change, we want to make sure there are tools in their tool box that can do that. The charter revision – the fact that there are two of them happening in overlapping or consecutive fashion – is just another way to give them a tool to effect change locally.
CL: Do you feel like this is building on a foundation of civics education that already exists?
Getachew: The reality is, we have the underpinnings. The State Education Department gives frameworks to teachers statewide. There are frameworks that exist for teaching civics in the classroom, particularly in this "Participation in Government" mandated class. But so much of it is not about giving students, or teachers, the ability to engage in project-based learning. It's rote memorization of random government facts, again. … That's not what we're doing in a 21st century democracy when young people can like it, hug it and retweet it on the Internet and think that that's how they effect systemic change. There is incredible momentum in favor of moving toward action-oriented civics education in the classroom. … But we're not there yet. The power of these lessons is that it's action-oriented, can be student led … and its contemporaneous. It's giving teachers a tool to talk about what's happening right now in their city and connect it to something that's real and tangible—not the theory of civics, that someday there might be a commission. Right now, there are two commissions and one is on the ballot.
CL: Do you expect some of this to kind of filter through to the kind of broader community, to the adults that live with and interact with these students?
Getachew: That's always a goal with the work that we're doing. The primary beneficiaries of our programs are the students in the classroom. Our hope is that they will go home and spark these civic conversations around the dinner table. [Those conversation partners] are a secondary beneficiary of the work. But the target audience is really about getting this current generation to understand and, as we say, not just talk about change but actually lead it.
CL: How do you teach the students to deal with the disappointment of losing, or pushing an idea that doesn't take off – a big part of life in the civic realm?
Mintz: I think that's something that's super important to kind of front load as a teacher. You'll see it in our general Action Civic course. There's a civic disposition, and the fact that even though you might be working on something for, whether it be two lessons or for a whole semester, change doesn't happen like the flick of a switch. That's something that might be difficult to learn but it's extremely important to learn. As we talk about students being civically engaged, yes, the first, second, third step might not look like you're getting anywhere, but that's part of the journey.
Getachew: I think that context is often lost on young people. The fact that we have so much technology at our disposal at all times has lulled us into a false sense of security that everything will be instant, right? That everything will happen immediately. I will say (and I say this to young people all the time), yes, technology has fueled and accelerated the pace at which change happens. But change, like the systemic change that were advocating for in our classes and we want the charter commission to implement, that kind of change takes time. The classic example is, from the convention at Seneca Falls to when the 19th Amendment happened was 72 years. I mean yeah, maybe Twitter would have fueled that a little bit quicker but at the same time it also creates a lot of noise about what are the priorities. I recently gave a talk to educators about how do we make sure that we're empowering civically engaged digital learners that understand how to use the tools in their toolbox but also understand the arc of history and how long it takes to accomplish systemic change.
