When you assume that you're doing an outstanding job of getting the word out about your business, you erode your business-marketing message, particularly if that message is poorly written and designed where your audience doesn't get it. That being the case, over time, your message stops working for you.
We all know that, as an owner of your business, you live and breathe the product or service you provide. You're passionate about it. So much so that it becomes a part of you, much like an arm or a leg. You know it inside and out. Naturally, you're passionate about your business. What many business owners lose sight of is assuming that everyone who uses or buys your product or service knows it as well as you do.
For example, you can have the best technology service company in the tri-state area, but is you market to your audience using techno-geek language, the money you invest in your brochure or leave-behind piece is wasted. That promotional piece will more than likely get tossed. Why? Because it's not written with the user (your audience) in mind. If you provide your customers with a brochure or other marketing piece, make sure it's something they can read and clearly understand.
As a business owner, put yourself in your customer/client's shoes. Market your business from their perspective so that they get your message. They're not you. They don't live and breathe your business. Most audiences are inundated with information. They have seconds to comprehend your message. It has to be quick and easy to understand without their having to put extra effort into figuring it out. Bullet points, info graphics, and well-written copy go a long way toward helping them get/comprehend your product or service.
To make this happen, hire a skilled copywriter and designer to craft your message and make your next piece audience accessible. These professionals know how to make your marketing materials "user friendly" in a world where they're constantly bombarded with information.
How in touch are you with your customers? Do you know what they are saying about you and your company? Are you truly listening to them? Are your employees listening?
To inform your customer about what you do, first find out what they think you do and how well you do it. This is important. This is often overlooked and should be the basis of your message to your customers. How you relate to and inspire your existing customers should be tailored to their perceptions of your business; otherwise, your message becomes part of the marketing chatter that's often ignored. Can you picture their eyes glazing over?
You already have a captive audience with existing customers. Now is the time to listen to what they're saying about you so you can continue providing them what they need and want. This doesn't need to be complicated. Simply use survey tools or just ask them what they like about your business and discover ways they think you can improve.
Ok, I've never been a huge fan or Oreo® cookies unless they were Double Stuf. Let's face it. The best part is the creamy center.
Just like these cookies, the creamy center is the most important part of your business. You have goals and expectations for it, but do your employees know and share that vision? If not, you may need to provide them with information/knowledge that gets them on board with the goals and vision you have for your business.
To start with, be sure that the internal branding of your company communicates the same message that you tell customers, because it helps your employees know clearly what your business is about and what makes it unique compared to other businesses.
Once you're employees are crystal clear about your company's internal branding, then it's time to focus on your external brand, which should naturally complement your internal message.
If your employees believe in your company's vision and share it, then it's much easier for them to pass that vision/brand onto customers. For example, if you're branding your company as an innovative designer of widgets but your employees don't see what's innovative about your widgets, then it will be difficult for your employees to sell them to customers. Be sure that you provide your employees with compelling data that enables them to know everything about your widgets and how to use them. Employee enthusiasm is infectious.
So remember, it's the creamy center of the culture of your business that's the best part and one of the essential ways for you to effectively brand your business.


Checkups are painful because of what you might find. From a physical standpoint, we need to get a regular checkup by a doctor or by a dentist. Everybody can look back personally or in their family and see results, good and bad, from getting a checkup. For a business owner, painful checkups are necessary so you can get stuff fixed. No matter how big or small your company is, you need somebody else that can give you what you need to fix your stuff, in case you can't. Learn the five questions you can ask other business owners you trust that you could use to triangulate with and help you fix your problems.
This is where my wife and I live life. If we see or hear something that stings people a little bit, rubs them the wrong way but they take that information, turn it into action and it grows their company. We make a note of that and we are for sure to podcast on that. This episode is a perfect example of this; I don't know how many times I've given out this little nugget. Usually people don't want to hear any of it, it's very uncomfortable.
When they do it, the results are quite extraordinary. I call this The Checkup. We will all agree that from a physical standpoint, we need to get a regular checkup by a doctor, by a dentist. Everybody can look back personally or in their family and see results, good and bad, from going to get a checkup.
Checkups are painful because of what you might find. They're emotionally painful upfront because it's fear, false evidence appearing real. I'm recommending that everybody in our audience, no matter how big or small your company is, you find three business owners that you trust, quite frankly, that you don't know that well and that don't know you that well. You can do this with one or two. I haven't seen it work that well but three's the magic bullet because you might see a pattern with three.
Here's what you ask them, "Would you do me a favor, Bob or Susie or whoever it is? I want you to Google my personal name. Here's how you spell it. I'd like you to Google my company name, here's how you spell it. I would like you to answer these five questions after twenty minutes of you perusing what comes up under my personal name and my business name. Question number one, what do you think I do for a living or we as a company? What do you think we do for a living?
Painful Checkups: Checkups are painful because of what you might find.
You take their written responses, you bring them to people that can make these changes and fix it. If you're not a web person, bring it to somebody that's a web person. You can use what you learned in episode 317 called Politics, that I did with my wife and you triangulate with someone else that can fix your stuff. You find somebody else that can give them what they need to fix your stuff, in case you can't. Very short podcast, but incredibly powerful. Matter of fact, I would love two things if you don't mind.
If the results of this short podcast do something for you, meaning you bring it to three people, they point things out, you make the corrections and that you can physically tell it did something for you or your company, would you please let me know at Ken@IncomeStore.com. This is something that I need to teach a lot more often. It's very painful, but very powerful. I'd love some current testimonials with today's climate of what this is doing for people.
If any of my podcast hit you, if you could do me a favor, I'm very close to 100 reviews. If you can go to a laptop or a desktop, doesn't work on a phone or a tablet, but jump into iTunes and throw me an honest review, good or bad. When I get over 100, I'm pretty sure that's when iTunes throws the podcast back into noteworthy news. It gives the podcast another 90-day burst of eyeballs, puts it in front of 80 million people for some time. Very close, I'm over 80% of the way with the reviews, but don't do a review if you don't want to do a review. Hope that helps, you guys are awesome. Take care. Bye.


The Scandinavian interior design style is all about incorporating natural lighting into your home. It works with natural colors, simple and economical furniture pieces, and space. In order to adapt to the long winters of the Scandinavian countries, allowing as much light into the home is important. There are different things you can do to achieve the Nordic interior style while making it your own. If you're like me, who's guilty of looking at countless Nordic style homes, you will notice similar elements.
A lot of this Nordic homes have white walls and wood floorings, instead of carpets, to reflect light and brighten up the home. The wood flooring not only has a layer of sheen to help light bounce off, it also gives the home a warmer tone. Playing with whites and having wood accents are really common elements of this Scandinavian style because it helps integrate nature into the home. It is proven that have more light in the home makes people happier! Not only do these elements contribute to creating a "homey" feel, it also creates a spacious illusion. I really love the Nordic style because it helps you declutter your home and it ensures that every piece of furniture and décor has a crucial function.
1.	Don't be afraid to play with texture! Having all white furniture and décor creates an opportunity to experiment with the different textures. This adds more dimension to home.
2.	Adding plants, such as succulents, are a great way to bring in nature to the home. The greens liven up the house and brings in a pop of color.
3.	Try to keep the same color family; sticking with pastel colors would be a great option. By muting the colors, it gives you room to play with bold accent pieces.
4.	Accent pieces. The accent piece you choose will really set the tone for your home. This also means that your furniture doesn't all have to match! Change it up by having a different color dining chair for a bolder choice!
5.	Color is very important! Popular bold colors the Scandinavian style use would be blue. Black is also a great option if you are working with the monochrome scheme – it will add a contrast to the entire room.
What if you are on a budget? That should not stop you from trying out the Nordic style! Online, there are lots of inspirational blog pieces that shows you DIYs you can do for your home. You'd be surprised by how much things like sanding, DIY decors and a new paint of coat can do. Gray has become a popular color choice for the walls, muting down the room and creating a calming atmosphere. On the hand, sanding your furniture and décor pieces will result in a distressed look that would allow you to merge a bit of the industrial style with the Nordic style.
I have few awesome pieces to recommend that would be versatile for your home and help you achieve the Scandinavian style interior.
-a simple white table, but wait for it…you have the option to extend it. A perfect piece that is adaptable to the situations. To the point, space-efficient, and minimal.
-unique dining table that aligns with the Scandinavian style, it's an accent piece itself because of the unique design. It's special and minimal.

Das Schloss Geisa steht in der Landstadt Geisa in der Rhön im Wartburgkreis in Thüringen.

Geschichte
In den Jahren 1700 bis 1714 ließ Fürstabt Adalbert von Schleifras auf den Grundmauern eines Vorgängerbaus neben dem Amtsgericht Geisa das neue Schloss bauen. Baumeister war der Fuldaer Baumeister Johann Dientzenhofer.

Erst diente es als Jagdschloss und Sommerresidenz der fuldischen Fürstäbte und Fürstbischöfe.

Das Wappen des Bauherrn ist über beiden Portalen angebracht. In östlicher Richtung schließt sich der terrassenförmig angelegte Schlossgarten an. Dieser ist teilweise von der Stadtmauer umgeben. Die Südostecke der Mauer besitzt noch einen Turm, das sogenannte Diebestürmchen.

Öffentliche Einrichtungen befinden sich im Schloss. Im Obergeschoss befindet sich der Sitz der Point-Alpha-Stiftung. Die Räumlichkeiten im Erdgeschoss werden für Familienfeiern, sowie für Tagungsveranstaltungen im fürstlichen Ambiente genutzt.

Double Trouble at Oulton Park
After months of planning, the final of the Porsche Classic Restoracing Championship was upon us. The Porsche Centre Chester team and over 130 of our valued customers met at Oulton Park for this very special event. Each of our guests were treated to a VIP Experience at Oulton Park, which included exclusive access to our own unique hospitality area including breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea.
The strong bond we have with our customers at Porsche Centre Chester is really important to us. Earlier this year we welcomed a customer entry into the Porsche Club Championship - a race series that runs alongside our own Restoracing Championship. Loyal Porsche Centre Chester customer Andrew Dickens was inspired to enter a Boxster into the Championship after attending one of Carl's races with us earlier in the year. Since then, his friend and colleague Toby Barlow has raced the car in a number of rounds and has had multiple podium finishes. To top it off, they organised to have their car in 'Martini' inspired livery, resulting in an identical car to our own!
Unfortunately our first race was delayed due to torrential rains and sadly the track was rather flooded. A few minutes into the race the commentator announced that one of the cars had spun off on to the grass verge resulting in a collision with a barrier. It was Carl in our Boxster – disaster! Fortunately Carl was unscathed and the car just needed a new wheel, however that was us out of race one.
Toby, in his identical 'Martini' car was out soon after, competing in the Porsche Club Championship where he finished in first place.
It was soon time for the second races of the day and after an intense race, we were delighted to see Carl cross the finish line in seventh position. Toby fought against power steering issues throughout the duration of his second race yet still managed to cross the line in second place of the Porsche Club Championship race meaning yet another podium position under his belt.
The final of the Porsche Club Championship will be held on the 28 September at Donington Park and in this round Carl will be joining Toby on the grid.
Please contact Kat Griffiths via email or call on 0151 373 4899 or more details about our events or to find out more about either the Porsche Classic Restoracing Championship or the Porsche Club Championship.

You know that making your digital sales communication more interactive will help you gain the attention of healthcare professionals – but how precisely should you work with it?
A major motivation for 'going digital' is to take advantage of the interactive opportunities of digital media. And yet a lot of what is today described as interactive really isn't.Often digital materials are presented as having interactive features but often they are little more than 'press play' and then sit back to watch an animation. There are great ways to use animations in digital sales communication, but it's important not to confuse the two.


We are proud to release tickets to an exclusive and intimate dinner with Vivek Singh. Arrival is at 6.30pm, where you will enjoy a welcome drink and a fully immersive, delectable and sumptuous Holi Feast made up of the finest and most traditional Holi dishes.
Menu details are below! Vegetarians are fully catered for, please just make this clear when booking!
The Holi play session starts at 8pm after dinner.. thereafter you are most welcome to grab some drinks at Anise Bar and continue to party the night away!
the arrival of spring and the passing of winter.

GBG and CredoLab partner to extend digital fraud risk management for Southeast Asia's unbanked, new-to-credit and gig economy workers to onboard and transact easily
Update: June, 16/2020 - 04:09
Converging the power of mobile credit risk scoring and digital fraud management technology to access Southeast Asia's 400 million unbanked and new-to-credit population
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 16 June 2020 - GBG (AIM:GBG), the global technology specialist in fraud and compliance management, identity verification and location data intelligence today announced a technology partnership with CredoLab, the leading developer of bank-grade digital scorecards based on privacy-consented and permissioned smartphone metadata, to easily and confidently assess the creditworthiness of any applicant, including the unbanked and underbanked. While banks in Indonesia have tapped on local bureaus, telcos, and e-commerce providers for data to perform credit and fraud checks, data continues to be fragmented and unreliable, contributing to high non-performing loans, low approval rates and a high level of fraud. This technology partnership will help brick-and-mortar and digital banks deterred by a lack of data to leverage on mobile phone digital footprints to process banking and credit applications and provide financial empowerment to all new-to-credit, new-to-bank, and gig economy workers of the region.
Of the nearly 400 million adults in Southeast Asia[1], only 104 million are fully "Banked" and enjoy full access to Financial Services. Another 98 million are "Underbanked", with a bank account but insufficient access to credit, investment and insurance, while 198 million remain "Unbanked" and do not own a bank account. Millions of small and medium enterprises also face large funding gaps. However, the booming internet economy, which is predicted to reach US$300 billion in 2025, sets the stage for the lending industry to grow by more than 2 folds by using digital technology to their advantage.
"We are very excited with this partnership between GBG and CredoLab. By assimilating metadata on consumers' digital footprint and behavioural intelligence into GBG Instinct digital fraud management platform, we are seeing an uplift in credit and fraud risk protection by up to 40%. This convergence between mobile credit scoring and digital fraud technology helps established and digital banks and lenders onboard quality customers within the financially excluded population," said June Lee, Managing Director of APAC.
GBG offers an end-to-end digital fraud and compliance solution for banking and non-banking financial institutions looking to onboard and transact with their customers quickly, safely, and securely. With GBG Instinct, banks, lenders, and mobile wallets can leverage an orchestration layer to perform multiple data callouts to CredoLab's cloud service. It only takes seconds, as opposed to days, to analyse mobile behavioural data and calculate the risk score for any individual to be onboarded.
The result is of the partnership sees an uplift in scorecard predictiveness by up to 39.9%, drop in cost of risk by up to 21.9%, and increase in approval rates of up to 32%.
"Banks and lenders always grapple with the question of "can a customer pay back" and "will a customer pay back" during the onboarding journey. While GBG's fraud solution flags out suspicious behaviours of customers who "cannot pay", CredoLab's behaviour risk score, lowers false positives and false negatives on delinquent behaviours to discern if a customer "will not pay" explained Peter Barcak, CEO and Co-Founder, CredoLab.
In Southeast Asia, which has 360 million internet users, this partnership provides a gateway into accessing the largely untapped unbanked and new-to-credit populations, and the thriving gig economy workers of the country.
Today GBG works with more than 100 financial institutions across the region with active implementations in more than 30 countries; CredoLab has delivered alternative credit risk scores to 7 Indonesian lending businesses amongst over 70 others across 21 countries. The partnership will enable all Indonesian banks, neo banks, and digital lenders to access and approve quality customers with the intelligence required to accelerate onboarding, detect fraud, and reduce operational costs.

Q: команды WinRAR (SFX-модуля) - есть ли пауза\задержка? Делаю инсталляцию на WinRAR в ней две строки Setup.
Одна на cmd-исполняемый файл.
Вторая на exe-исполняемый файл.
Вторая должна стартовать, когда cmd выполнит все свои скрипты, но WinRar стартует вторую строку сразу после запуска первой.
Понятно, что можно реализовать запуск exe из cmd-файла, но ради личной любознательности хотелось бы уточнить - есть ли понятие паузы\задержки на выполнение (аналог консольной start /wait) в командах SFX WinRar?

A: Боюсь, что никак:

Вместо названия приложения укажите имя BAT или CMD-файла, содержащего сценарий обработки содержимого SFX-архива. Сценарий, в свою очередь, может поочерёдно запускать несколько внешних приложений.

Максимум, что можно тут сделать - использовать вами же и предложенный подход - вызывать нужные приложения изнутри сценария, который будет указан в качестве Setup. (прочие источники также рекомендуют делать этим способом).

Always keep your front door shining. When decorating a home, the key is not to make the environment too excited, incorporating the use of calm colors will be a good alternative to bold prints, the furniture chosen for the house is also very important, an efficient table is usually the main work chosen, comfortable chairs important items too.

Adding decorative shelves to the wall is a great way to display collections, knick-knacks or photographs, wooden shelves can be stained or painted, or you can choose a wrought iron shelf.
For large families with many children, a table that is easy to clean is the best, also must be safe for children so that the glass table is not recommended so a round table and wood are recommended. Equally important is the chair. Glass table matches a small room because it gives the illusion of spaciousness. The most prominent furniture from the dining room is the dining table, therefore, it is very important to choose a dining table that suits your taste and lifestyle. The color of the chair must match the color of the dining table equipment to create a sense of color coordination in the room, the color red, said to stimulate appetite.
Make sure that the kitchen table is large enough, the kitchen table surface is also important, a table with a waterproof surface is preferred this is the same as we would choose a kitchen chair.You might need a kitchen cabinet.

On Sept 29, 2009, I weighed 288lbs. There have been times when I weighed more but I was ashamed to weigh. I was miserable and depressed. I went to bed thinking of my weight and woke up thinking about it. 9/29/09 was the first day of my long journey. I now weigh ~164 lbs. In Sept 2013, I did it solely from a change in diet and exercise especially running. After a while, I hated the loose skin. I made the tough decision to have a circumferential body lift along with a brachioplasty to get rid of mid-section loose skin and my ugly bat wings. I'll keep you updated!

Anxious? Fatigued? A woman? You might need magnesium.
When I was trying to get pregnant, my natural therapies GP (she was an actual doctor too) put me on a bucketload of supplements, magnesium one of them. "Take two before bed to relax your body," she said. Desperate, I downed that magnesium for months. Did it work? Who knows? That's the thing with supplements, do you ever know if they're working?
A few years later I'm at a masseuse who feels the tight muscles in my back and tells me I should take magnesium, "to help stop the calcification of my muscles." Huh? "When you're lacking magnesium your muscles can get hard and almost calcifed." Riiiiiight.
"You should try magnesium," says a friend when I complain about how long it takes me to fall asleep, "it's the only thing I've found to help with my anxiety and actually sleep."
Magnesium is the new health buzzword, popping up in everything from sleep tonics to superfood powders and body lotions. It's one supplement that both doctors and natural therapists can agree on.
Known as the "female mineral" it's said to help relax muscles, and this is not a new thing - Epsom salts are made from magnesium sulphate and we've been bathing in it for years.
So why the sudden cure-all?
"Magnesium gets used up when we're stressed," says Anthia Koullourous who's been a naturopath for 24 years and is the creator of Ovvio Organic teas, "we become deficient because of our high stress levels and our requirements of the mineral increase. Magnesium has a calming effect on our nervous system and adrenals, preventing excessive cortisol levels."
So that would explain why I was prescribed it while aiming for a baby - one of the biggest factors while trying to conceive is lowering your stress levels (tricky when you're super stressed out because you can't get pregnant!).
"It's also a great sleep promoter," says Koullouros, "it's a muscle relaxant and is anti-spasmodic, so it's good for muscle cramping yes, but it also induces sleep hormones to encourage you to drift off."
Which is what my friend was referring to when he said he takes it for his anxiety. Different levels of anxiety of course, need different treatments and I'm sure magnesium is not going to be enough for every single person.
"It's particularly good to help with female reproductive hormones," says Koullouros, "If someone comes to see me with painful periods or menstrual migraines - those awful ones you get around that time of the month - that's when you prescribe magnesium. It also regulates blood sugar levels and normalises insulin. You get pure sugar cravings if you're lacking magnesium in a PMS phase."
Dr Joanna Hartnett, a lecturer in complementary medicines at the University of Technology says, "There is åevidence - small trials of a whole range of conditions like PMS and migraines that indicate it can be beneficial," says Dr Hartnett, "There is softer evidence for it to help people sleep. But it could potentially play a role because it's involved in so many functions that we're not yet aware of."
In the medical setting, magnesium is used to treat women with high blood pressure in pregnancy, "in aggressive and high doses," says Dr Hartnett, "It's involved in over 300 chemical processes at a cellular and tissue level. It's a very important mineral, a low intake has been associated with chronic diseases like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases."
But what about the lotions that are now hitting stores, do they actually do anything to help your body?
"Magnesium is transdermally absorbed," says Koullouros. Which means it sinks into the skin, so yes, you can take it orally or topically. But there have been no large randomised controlled trials to support the fact it helps with muscle cramps, so there's no hard evidence to support that, "however that is one of the most common things it's used for," says Dr Hartnett, "There's anecdotal evidence to support it."
Do we need a supplement? "The number of Australians eating foods high in magnesium is low," says Dr Hartnett, "but it's better to eat these foods rather than take a supplement because in food, it comes in a matrix with other important nutrients which help the body use the mineral."
We get magnesium from green leafy vegetables, almonds, bone broth, dairy and chocolate. "Real chocolate," clarifies Koullourous. "So the next time you've got PMS or a rip roarer of a headache, try a cup of hot cacao milk." That'll give you a magnesium shot and also sounds deliciously comforting. Isn't that what we've been wanting to hear all our lives?

Global Energy Demand on Track to Peak Between 2020 and 2025
New World Energy Scenarios discuss three plausible pathways to 2040 focusing on the impact of "disruptive innovation" on energy system.
The World Energy Council in collaboration with Accenture Strategy and the Paul Scherrer Institute launched an updated World Energy Scenarios report. Among the key findings, per capita, energy demand projected to peak before 2030 and innovative net-zero carbon pathways include hydrogen. The scenarios provide energy leaders with a clear strategic framework for navigating 'disruption-as-usual' and offer a platform to support a rigorous global strategic dialogue on the future of the energy system.
Launched during the 24th World Energy Congress in Abu Dhabi, UAE, the World Energy Scenarios 2019 report provides an update of the Council's global energy scenarios, presenting plausible pathways to 2040 with a focus on the broad and fast-shifting landscape of innovation. The three musically-named scenarios are: Modern Jazz, which represents a 'digitally disrupted' and market-driven innovative world; Unfinished Symphony, a future in which more 'intelligent' and circular economic growth models drive clean, affordable and sustainable energy transition; and Hard Rock, which explores the consequences of inward-looking policies and weaker and unsustainable economic growth, in a more fragmented world.
The updated World Energy Scenarios provide new insights into the broader and fast-shifting landscape of innovation, which is emerging from within and beyond the energy system and includes not only new energy technologies but also policy, business model and social innovations. The scenarios highlight how different combinations of innovation accelerators –the "Constellations of Disruptions"– might trigger and scale to enable alternative energy pathways and disrupt existing value chains.
The report includes new storylines to 2040, supporting systems maps, comparative analysis on energy implications, six regional perspectives, as well as illustrative quantification, on an aggregated global and regional basis. Read it here.
Key highlights and the energy system implications:
Global primary energy demand momentum remains in line with the 2016 scenario modelling, with per capita energy demand projected to peak in the 2020s.
Electrification extends to more uses and users, driving decarbonisation rates; however, the question of hard-to-abate sectors and non-electrified uses remains open.
A new mobility revolution, which is dependent on infrastructure, is gathering momentum with the potential to disrupt the entire energy landscape in the longer term.
Energy efficiency gains are critical to manage energy demand from industrial, residential and commercial sectors and to avoid reducing climate change momentum.
New opportunities are emerging to provide energy-plus services in an increasingly consumer-centric energy system.
Infrastructure innovation and investment, and proactive policies are necessary to secure affordable decarbonisation and socially just energy transitions.
New net-zero carbon pathways, including hydrogen, and carbon abatement mechanisms emerge and start to scale by 2040.
Achieving Paris Agreement targets remains elusive, with none of the 2019 scenarios meeting the 2°C target agreed to in the UNFCC Paris Agreement.
Dr. Angela Wilkinson, Senior Director, Scenarios and Business Insights, World Energy Council: "Signals of all the three world energy scenarios – Modern Jazz, Unfinished Symphony and Hard Rock – have been detected in all regions. By using these tools, energy leaders can realize the drive to thrive in an era of disruption and design energy pathways for prosperity, people and planet."
"Disruptive innovation is driving change in the energy system at an unprecedented scale and pace," said Muqsit Ashraf, Senior Managing Director, Accenture Strategy, Energy. "Our new Energy Scenarios highlight the impact of technology, policy, social, and business model changes on the demand and supply side. Our report suggests that under plausible scenarios, the climate targets are elusive. To achieve competitive agility and manage the economic, environmental and social objectives of the new energy system, industry leaders will have to double down on their response to challenges from peak demand and value, managing emissions, investing in infrastructure, and unleashing digital systemwide."
Dr. Tom Kober, head of the Energy Economic Group of the Paul Scherrer Institute emphasizes that "The transformation of the energy economy is a systemic challenge where interdependencies between technologies, actors, markets and the environment play a decisive role on how new energy structures emerge and how successful future energy and climate goals will be achieved."
Ged Davis, Executive Chair Scenarios, World Energy Council, concluded: "Technological innovation, climate change and more tense geopolitics are disrupting the world of energy. These world energy scenarios provide the perfect tool for assessing these macro-uncertainties and crafting a strategic response for your enterprise."

Biography – FAFARD, THÉOGÈNE – Volume XI (1881-1890) – Dictionary of Canadian Biography
FAFARD, THÉOGÈNE, physician, druggist, and professor of botany; b. in 1855 probably in Montreal, Canada East, son of Norbert Fafard and Appoline Claude; m. 28 Nov. 1882 Anna-Séphora Germain at St Boniface, Man., and they had one daughter who survived infancy; d. 4 Jan. 1890 at St Boniface.
Théogène Fafard's family was well established in the Montreal area in the early 1870s. In 1872, after three years at the Collège de Montréal, Fafard began to study at the Montreal School of Medicine and Surgery, which was affiliated with Victoria College at Cobourg, Ont. His brother Abel, who was to follow him to Manitoba, was an undertaker, and another brother, Norbert, a physician, was with the Montreal firm of Fafard et Daoust, chemists and druggists. In 1876 Théogène graduated and for the next two years practised medicine in Montreal.
What brought the young physician to Manitoba in November 1878 is not known, but he arrived at a time when hundreds of French Canadian families were moving into the province. Within a week of his arrival Fafard had a patient at the hospital operated by the Sisters of Charity of the Hôpital Général of Montreal (Grey Nuns), and thus began an association with the Hôpital de Saint-Boniface that lasted until his death. The records of the hospital, founded in 1871 by the Grey Nuns as an extension of the charitable institutions established by the order after its arrival at Red River in 1844 [see Marie-Louise Valade*], show that Fafard cared for hundreds of patients during his 11 years as resident doctor. According to an 1887 report, he visited "the sick every day and gives his services at no charge."
In the bustling climate of St Boniface in 1878–79, and as a member of a small Franco-Manitoban élite, Fafard soon involved himself in community affairs. He became a director of the Société de Colonisation de Manitoba, a member of the Roman Catholic section of the Board of Education of Manitoba, and the official physician for the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste. He failed in his only attempt to win election to the St Boniface municipal council in 1880, and was content to take charge of the enumeration for the St Boniface provincial constituency in 1881.
When it became apparent that Fafard could not distinguish himself in political life, he focused his energies on medicine, and during the 1880s he gained recognition as the foremost French Canadian doctor in the province. In 1880 he was appointed a coroner for the province of Manitoba, a position he held until his death. In 1882, in partnership with his brother Abel, now a contractor in St Boniface, he opened a pharmacy which he sold seven years later to Dr Joseph-Honoré-Octavien Lambert. When St Boniface was incorporated as a town in 1883, Fafard was chosen as its first medical officer over his rival, Dr Lambert.
Fafard was one of the incorporators of the privately operated Manitoba Medical College in April 1884 and he joined the faculty as professor of botany on 1 October for the second session. He occupied this position until his untimely death in January 1890.

Q: Qgis 1.9 commitChanges() and Redraw a temporary layer Using QGIS 1.9 and writing a python plugin.  I have a function that connects points into polylines and draws them as a temporary, in memory layer.  Membership in a polyline is determined by a field in the attribute table (postgis enabled table) of the point.
The tool programatically sets up an edit session and alters the correct column in the point attribute table to alter the polylineID.
pseudocode:
layer.startEditing()

...Make edits to the features (not a data provider)...

layer.commitChanges()
remove in-memory layer
redraw in-memory layer by iterating over the point table to building polylines

The redraw fails to see the edits that have occurred.  This is after calling layer.commitChanges().  What is the proper method to make an edit and propagate it so that an immediately derived layer sees the changes?
Tested with data in geojson on disk and via a view on a postgis table.

Rockies not concerned over Nolan Arenado's…
Rockies not concerned over Nolan Arenado's opt-out clause following 2021 season
Colorado GM Jeff Bridich: "I was the one who actually pushed for that opt-out."
AAron Ontiveroz, The Denver Post
Nolan Arenado (28) of the Colorado Rockies takes a moment between pitches against Kenta Maeda (18) of the Los Angeles Dodgers during the bottom of the first inning at Coors Field on Monday, July 29, 2019.
By Kyle Fredrickson | kfredrickson@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
The ink on Nolan Arenado's eight-year, $260-million contract extension has been dry for only seven months.
However, a rapid Rockies decline in 2019 accelerated the chatter surrounding Arenado's looming decision: Stick with Colorado and likely retire as a Rockie, or exercise a player opt-out clause after the 2021 season and hit the free-agent market?
"If there's a list of issues we need to deal with, that's like No. 775 on the page," Rockies owner Dick Monfort said Tuesday. "I don't think any of us are really worried about it at this time."
Monfort joined general manager Jeff Bridich and manager Bud Black at a news conference to recap a disappointing 71-91 season that began with playoff expectations. None would speculate how this year's slide might influence Arenado's pending decision or what team benchmarks are expected in 2020 and '21 to ensure Arenado honors the full contract terms through 2026. Bridich also dismissed any internal concern over the opt-out clause and explained why it was a critical piece of the deal for both sides.
"I was the one who actually pushed for that opt-out," Bridich said. "To Nolan's credit, he didn't have a ton of interest in that initially being in there. It wasn't a priority of his for it to be in there. I was the one who thought it might be a good idea.
"That comes from experience, being here for 15 years and living (with) some of those other contracts. Hearing stories about players under big contracts like that elsewhere in this game and some of the realities that can exist. Giving people the opportunity to take a breath and say: 'Is this right for me right now?' I have one career, and if you're talking about Nolan, one chance to play this game."
Rockies agree to one-year deals with Jon Gray, Kyle Freeland and four others to avoid arbitration
Saunders: Trevor Story and Rockies heading toward critical crossroad
Lefty Ryan Rolison leads Rockies prospects who could have impact in 2021
Rockies, Mychal Givens agree to one-year, $4.05 million deal, avoid arbitration
Rockies Mailbag: Colorado is a franchise searching for an identity right now
Arenado, who posted a career-high .315 batting average this past season, expressed frustration when talking with the media in the final days of the season. He said: "I really don't know where we're headed or what we are going to do. But we have to get better. There is no question."
That sentiment was echoed by Rockies' management on Tuesday. Bridich and Monfort suggested some roster changes are inevitable, but with no "big-splash free-agent" addition expected, it reinforces the need for Arenado anchor the Rockies' postseason push long into the future.
Arenado is set to earn a base salary of $35 million in each of the next two seasons, per Spotrac.com, as the MLB's highest-paid third baseman. His addition to the 2022 free-agent class would likely push Colorado into a true rebuild. But it appears those concerns, at least publically, can wait.
"I don't think anyone is losing sleep about Nolan opting out or staying in at this point and time," Monfort said.

Freedom and Democracy Trust
The Freedom and Democracy Trust
Part of this anti-communist programme was the creation of 'an influential group, including several members of
the [[[TUC]]] General Council, which was determined to root out the communists.'(76) Among the group were George Chester (General Secretary of the National Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives), George Gibson (former TUC chair), Lincoln Evans (General Secretary of the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation [ISTC]) Andrew Naesmith (General Secretary of the Amalgamated Weavers' Association), Alf Roberts (General Secretary of the National Association of Card, Blowing and Ring Room Operatives, later on the Board of the Bank of England), G. H. Bagnall (TUC General Council representative; General Secretary in 1939 of National Union of Dyers, Bleachers and Textile Workers), John Brown (ISTC) and Tom O'Brien (Kine Employees).(77) In April 1948 this group became the Freedom and Democracy Trust, and began publishing a periodical called Freedom First. with the help of IRD.(78)
Unfortunately for all concerned, mixing with the founders of the Trust was an American businessman called Sydney Stanley, and the whole enterprise was 'blown' when Stanley became the centrepiece of the infamous Lansky Tribunal hearings into civil service corruption during the winter of 1948. Not only did Stanley have many pre-war contacts with the U.S unions, he adopted the robust American attitude to officialdom: bribe it when you have to. But he got caught.

Utilize this as a comparative guide to finally mix this major decision off your planning checklist and arranged the build for your wedding day.
Soft hues, sensitive lighting, and a lot of florals typically constitute an enchanting wedding. Because of this theme, envision pastels, dangling equipment and lighting (even chandeliers), calligraphy, and a rose wall.
More of an offbeat bride-to-be who's never been someone to take the standard option? We get you. Buck traditions with an alternative solution wedding theme, and move with it nevertheless, you see fit. If cool, moody color palettes and creative stand-ins match your look better than excellent flora and been-there-done-that wedding decoration, then an alternative solution theme has your name written around it. Press the boundaries just as much as you want.
Draw enthusiasm from ages past if you need an antique style for your wedding–and one of easy and simple ways to route this is through your wedding costume and beauty look. For the wedding ceremony and reception, you can count on antique-looking decoration, like weathered entrance doors and worn-in real wood seats, to help expand exemplify a vintage-inspired wedding. To your last hoorah, end the vintage theme driving a car away in a vintage getaway car, as an old Porsche or Volkswagen.
For today's wedding, think clean lines, geometric patterns, and nominal design. Today's theme is aware few bounds, so channel it nevertheless, you see fit. Put today's spin on anything from your bridal dress (have a break in the action from white) to your place decorations, like streamlined seats, a great structural backdrop, or a striking color structure.

String lighting, mason jars, twine, ribbons, and all hardwood everything donate to the easy and homey vibe of the theme. If you are an enormous DIY admirer, rustic wedding decoration will be your glass of tea. Look at a more rural place, like a trendy and personal barn (timber or bust), if this is your goal wedding style.
Contacting all boho brides–if this complements your own private style, then say "I really do" to the matching wedding theme. Exactly like your bridal dress will likely look, a bohemian wedding remains cool and carefree, but nonetheless beautiful. Keep the venue accessories simplistically beautiful, with oriental area rugs coating the aisle and altar, ornamental pillows, or dangling macram? decorations. Have a note from celebrity Troian Bellisario's 2016 wedding, which is the products of boho dreams.
Considering a dark-colored tie-scale wedding? In the event that you envision you as well as your friends dressing to the nines, your current theme must match consequently. For nuptials this grandiose, you will want to grab all the puts a stop to you need to include complete table configurations (wine glasses and everything) with a complete sit-down supper, posh seats, ornate flower agreements (even on the wedding cake!), and a perfect head table, merely to name a few formalities.

Informal ESR meeting of ITN SNAL network 6/7 Novembre 2014
Adrien Berthault 06/11/2014 Network events, Presse release, SNAL News & Media No Comments
6-7 November 2014 – Roda de Barà, Tarragona, Spain
The second article of the Press Release section will be dedicated to the two days spent in Tarragona and organized by the MSCA Early Stage Researchers (ESRs).
This meeting aimed to point out the role of ESRs within the ITN-SNAL Network, its possibilities and improve the relationships between the participants. Monika Kluzek, ESR in experimental biophysics at the Institut Charles Sadron in Strasbourg (France), explains:
"this satellite meeting has pinpointed the importance of ESRs as the new generation of scholars who are eager to communicate about science and extensively collaborate with peers. All the activities undertaken at the meeting have given us a sense of affiliation to a broader scientific community, which often might be difficult to establish during tough everyday work, focusing on our projects. In particular, we are now aware of an environment where we all may share progress on our projects and ideas for collaboration, simultaneously receiving constructive feedbacks and peer reviews, leading to the overall improvement of each other scientific works and to the opening of new research avenues."
Waiting the arrival of all the participants at the Àncora de Barà, lovely house located near the seaside close to Tarragona, a first talk, sometimes animated, about the Poisson-Boltzmann equation is born. There, Berardo Mario Manzi computed for other members of the team a specific total free energy. After a snack prepared by the team of Tarragona, a walk along the beach permits to the members not only to talk freely about their work but also to discover beautiful landscapes including an amazing sunset. After they came back and have shared a very nice diner proposed by attentive and careful hosts, each of them got the possibility to present his/her host institution, projects and expectations. B. M. Manzi liked the
"confrontation between theoretician and experimentalist PhDs that showed some nice improvements of the respective knowledge. At this point of the projects, confrontation is very important for the components of each group".
The second day morning started with a visit of the University Rovira i Virgili where B. M. Manzi, Bei Huang and Adrien Berthault, ESRs in theoretical physics at the Chemical Engineering department, presented some theoretical methods used in the study of the polymers such as the Single Chain Mean Field (SCMF) theory, Monte Carlo simulations and the software Surface Evolver. They also explained how SCMF theory can be used to model polymer aggregates like micelles and membranes, how to use Diffusive Particle Dynamics for bacteria approaching rough surfaces and how to predict structures with CUDA. A presentation concerning the SNAL network, asked by the ESRs, has been proposed by Vladimir Baulin, coordinator of the project. According to Alexander Chen, ESR in biochemistry at the University of Cambridge (United Kingdom),
"the team is now more focused and coherent. The short presentation by Adrien and Berardo was extremely helpful in understanding the work at Dr. Baulin's group. I am hoping we could learn more about each other's research in similar fashions to foster further collaborations".
While participants were at the university, another activity has been proposed: the weekly traditional coffee break organized by PhD students of the department. They all had an unprecedented opportunity to test themselves as Marie Currie ambassadors for the first time, an experience that has already paid off in an increased self-confidence of all the meeting attendees. These events helped in having a better understanding of the work of theoreticians however, we all agree and it has to be kept in mind: we all are from different areas, and it is not the point of the Network to comprehensively train each member in all scientific matters of interest. Indeed, we need to remember what is our strongest set of skills, and accordingly exploit such meetings in expanding our views on a given problem from different perspectives and providing the best possible input, which will ultimately lead to the truly interdisciplinary, cutting-edge understanding of biological phenomena.
After a barbecue at the Àncora de Barà, responsibilities regarding the management of the Outreach Activities have been shared out among the members in order to improve the organization, aiming to spread the various advantages, possibilities and duties proposed by the Marie Curie Actions. This being done, communication methods (i.e computerized or through meetings) used by the network have been introduced and details in respect of the tasks asked to the participants of the network towards Marie Curie contracts brought, concluding officially the meeting.
However, discussions nearby a crackling fire, lingered until late in the evening to highlight possible collaborations between the institutions. Other topics such as the organization of the summer school scheduled next July close to Messina (Italy), the next ESRs meeting and their goals after the PhD have been discussed. In order to improve to communication between members, the idea of not only sharing posters and (recorded) presentations into the network, but also to synthesize through five minutes presentations videos about ESRs' work has been proposed. It has been noted that many participants have shown their wish to improve their team management skills and their thirst of knowledge regarding technologies transfer and author rights (copyright).
To conclude, Anna-Sofia Tascini, ESR in mechanical Engineering at the Imperial College London (United Kingdom), shared with us her standpoint of the meeting:
"I strongly believe that this meeting pointed out the uniqueness that the Marie Curie fellowship offers to us: the capability to pursue several common aims, approaching them by means of different skills, starting from various characteristic background, exploiting the knowledge gained in our own institution with a view to apply and share them in a more general contest. I particularly appreciate the tour of the Rovira i Virgili university, the willingness of Vladimir to answer our questions and the social moments to know better each other. I bring back in my luggage to London pages of a blackboard filled with formulae, proposals and ideas, the purpose to do my better to fulfill the project expectations and a growing awareness of the importance to work as a team".
I share with my partner B. M. Manzi that it is evident that most of the projects are still in an initial stage and collaborations seem difficult to achieve. However, the spirit of the students is finalized to succeed in this task, and this kind of meeting will help to have a joint team.
Finally and through these last lines, a particular thought is sent towards the ESRs who, unfortunately, although wishing to come, could not join for administrative reasons. But do not worry, the story has just begun…

Cigna rejects $48 billion Anthem takeover, sues for damages
Updated: 2:42 PM CST Feb 14, 2017
Cigna Health Insurance SOURCE: Cigna Health Insurance
Cigna says it is rejecting Anthem's proposed $48 billion acquisition bid and suing the Blue Cross-Blue Shield insurer. The announcement comes hours after another major insurer, Aetna, said it was abandoning its planned $34 billion purchase of Medicare Advantage provider Humana. The Department of Justice sued last summer to stop the deals due to concerns about how they would affect prices and consumer choices. Federal judges rejected both deals in separate rulings earlier this year. Anthem Inc. had filed paperwork Monday to appeal its case. Cigna Corp. says it is seeking a $1.85 billion termination fee from Anthem and more than $13 billion in damages caused by what it says were Anthem's breaches of the merger agreement. An Anthem spokeswoman did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

FuelTech NHRA Pro Mod Series Standouts Gearing Up for First-Ever $10,000 Shootout
It's already been a standout season for Kris Thorne in the FuelTech NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by D-Wagon. The points leader has racked up three victories in what has been a career year and he now has the opportunity to enjoy a truly special few days at Brainerd International Raceway as part of the Lucas Oil NHRA Nationals.
The Pro Mod class will compete for just the second time in Brainerd this weekend and the category has the added bonus of the D-Wagon NHRA Pro Mod Shootout. The first-ever specialty race for the class takes place Friday and Saturday during the event, with the winner taking the $10,000 prize and the chance to pick up two victories in one weekend.
That has Thorne, who is making his debut at the track, and the rest of the class thrilled to take part this weekend.
"We're excited and it's nice to have a little bonus deal added to the weekend," Thorne said. "We've been running well, and this is something a little different, so we're looking forward to it. Our key to success this year is we've been consistent, so we're just going to keep plugging away and maybe we can get a couple wins this weekend."
The D-Wagon NHRA Pro Mod Shootout, which has a total purse of $25,000, will begin with the first round on Friday at 5:15 p.m. CT, with drivers getting a qualifying run earlier in the day. The first-round pairings, which are based on the points standings, are as follows:
No. 1 Kris Thorne vs. No. 12 Mike Castellana
No. 2 Rickie Smith vs. No. 11 Doug Winters
No. 3 Justin Bond vs. No. 10 Sidnei Frigo
No. 4 Stevie Jackson vs. No. 9 Khalid AlBalooshi
No. 5 Jose Gonzalez vs. No. 8 Mike Thielen
No. 6 Lyle Barnett vs. No. 7 J.R. Gray
The conclusion of the specialty race takes place on Saturday, with the second round at 1:00 p.m., the semifinals at 4:00 p.m. and the final round set for 5:30 p.m., directly after the final qualifying session in Top Fuel and Funny Car.
"There's a lot of trash talk going on with this with all the drivers involved," said Doug Winters, who is also sponsored by D-Wagon. "The trophy looks very cool, so it's worked out well and we're all looking forward to it. There's some really intriguing first-round matchups and it's going to be a great spotlight for everyone involved. I know the fans in Brainerd are really excited to see Pro Mod and to have this shootout along with the race, it's going to be even better for everyone."
With the specialty race taking place during a pivotal event weekend, drivers also have to be prepared for something different. Winters noted drivers will have to be on their game immediately and willing to put together a standout run to advance, while Thorne talked about two key factors for success in both the shootout and the race.
"You've got to be fast and consistent right away. You can't have any poor runs because the shootout is a different ballgame," Thorne said. "We'll be running our heart out from the time we get on the track, but you're also going to have to make consistent, clean runs. No matter what, we're trying to make it run as fast as it can go and we're going to run it as hard as we can."
The stop in Brainerd, which is powered by Stinar, is the sixth of 10 races during the 2022 season in the FuelTech NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series presented by D-Wagon. The class features the world's fastest doorslammer cars, offering something unique for every drag racing fan. Featuring several different power adders and thrilling 250-mph action, the class has been a hit with fans and has enjoyed a strong start to the 2022 season.

Q: C macro to unroll fixed sized array declaration, rename each with index suffix Is it possible to define a macro INPUT_ARR, so that int a[4]; void (INPUT_ARR(int, a, 4)){} equals to void (int a0, int a1, int a2, int a3){}

A: Here's one way:
#define INPUT_ARR(type, name, count) IARR ## count (type, name)

#define IARR0(type, name)
#define IARR1(type, name) type name##0
#define IARR2(type, name) IARR1(type, name), type name##1
#define IARR3(type, name) IARR2(type, name), type name##2
#define IARR4(type, name) IARR3(type, name), type name##3

void func (INPUT_ARR(int, a, 4)){}

int main()
{
    func(1,2,3,4);
}

Results of gcc -E (excluding main):
void func (int a0, int a1, int a2, int a3){}

You'll need to add IARR lines up until the max count that you want to support. It's not possible to have recursive macro definitions that go on automatically.


What do you guys want? Dark, Light, red, green, blue, etc, etc, etc?
IF YOU CANT BEAT THEM, AVOID THEM FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
Anything that looks 'right.' Whatever that means. But if it looks good, then it should be fine. I know its vague, but I don't know what else to say.
I'd sure love something like Dark EQ.
Just out of curiosity was the move here for financial reasons....just wondering.
What ever works the best is all right for me. Get some cool smilies though like last time.
is dark eq the black and purple one? that's the one i like.
I like the silvery blue thing,but I'm also for the dark colors.Cool what you've done though.
Personally, I prefer purples, blues, and silvers.
PM Dawn Lover 4 Life!
My vote is for dark EQ or like a black/dark blue or dark blue/yellow.
P.S..If You are a fake..don't tell me..I don't wanna know..
I have to agree with the majority here. I also prefer darker colors and themes.
AAAHHH!! Hurry up and vote people!!!!!!

Sat 8th Oct - Sun 9th Oct, 2005
KMC Fell Race Weekend
Members: Vicky Alderton, Bob Anderson, Mark Ashley, Christine Beeston, Virginia & John Castick, Robert Clark, Trish Cranston, Roger Daley, Dave Dillon, Joe Flynn, Mark Garrod, Jim & Sandy Gregson, Sheena Hendrie, Alan (H) Jones, Duncan Lee, Colin Maddison, Roger Mapleson, Craig Marsden, Neville McMillan, Al Metelko, Anna Neubert, Lester Payne, Scott Sadler, Peter Scholefield, Chris Thickett, Peter Walker (28)
Whereas last year we filled all the available accommodation, this year the hut was never more than half full. This was just as well, because although there are 31 bed spaces, the facilities are totally inadequate for 31 people.
Saturday provided low cloud, 100% humidity, and a strong cold wind, so those present settled for walking, and sussing out the terrain for tomorrow. Even so, Duncan and Vicky managed to climb in the dry at Hodge Close Quarry.
Sunday dawned dry, with 100% blue sky and sunshine. But by 10am Neville's prayer had been answered; the sun had gone away, there was cloud on the tops, a strong SW wind, and it started to rain! Encouraged by the sunshine around Manchester, several participants arrived on the day. And all the marshals appeared, mostly from other parts of the Lake District, as if by magic.
Mark Garrod made a welcome reappearance after a year's absence, this time free of injury. Several males had been doing clandestine training; unfortunately Colin's was to no avail, as he had to retire without starting. Alan Hyde appeared, having warmed up on the Langdale Horseshoe the day before! And Peter Scholefield, ace fell-runner of yore, re-appeared (how much training had he been doing?). Amongst the ladies, neither Michelle nor Julie were able to participate, but Sheena made a return to the field. Christine was encouraged to avenge last year's performance, and Anna kept her company. The field numbered 18, all KMC members.
This year's course was about 25% shorter than last year's, but this was compensated by a similar increase in the amount of up and down. Overall, the times were shorter, but not a lot.
Course: Irish Row - Hawk Rigg (NY 3006/0137) - Levers Water (SD 2797/9955) - Coniston Old Man (SD 2723/9782) - Irish Row
The first leg was relatively low level, with no real navigational problem, but it sorted out the participants into roughly the same order in which they finished. The spread of times was remarkable, from 30 minutes by Mark Garrod, to 78 minutes by Peter Walker.
On the second leg, Rob Clark and one or two others made an inspired choice of route. By reversing the first leg back to the hut, and then up to Levers Water, they stayed below the bad weather, and avoided the traverse of Wetherlam. It may only have saved a few minutes, but it avoided the loss of 14 minutes made by Roger Mapleson due to navigational errors in cloud.
The check-point at Levers Water tested people's mental resolve (as I thought it might!). Joe, Lester, and Peter Walker wimped out, and took the easy way down and back to the hut. But the rest gritted their teeth and slogged up to The Old Man, no doubt saying a few unkind things about the course-setter. The times indicated who had energy left. Roger Mapleson gained 4 minutes over Mark, Peter Scholefield put up an impressive performance on this leg, and Alan Hyde came back into contention, whereas Scott and Sheena suffered. Trish suddenly came to life on this leg, being only 1 minute slower than Sheena, and 13 minutes faster than Virginia. But Craig must have been saving himself, and put up the fastest descent back to the hut in 22 minutes, with Scott only 1½ minutes slower.
At the finish, Mark was almost 10 minutes faster than Roger Mapleson, with a close contest for third place between Craig and Al, who ran very consistently throughout.
And the winners of the trophies are:
Ken Beetham Trophy Fastest time Mark Garrod 2:20:12
Sumerfield Cup Fastest Lady Sheena Hendrie 3:16:14
Shelagh Manning Trophy Fastest handicap time Sheena Hendrie 1:52:14
Concordia Trophy Fastest first-time entrant Roger Daley 3:54:00
The full results http://www.karabiner.org/newsletters/200511/nov2005mr.php (PDF format) are also available.
My thanks to all the checkers, especially Bob and Chris who had the worst of the weather, and also to Vicky and Duncan for producing food and drink very efficiently. Start training for next year; I'll be praying for lower cloud, and thicker cloud on the fell tops!
Neville McMillan
LOCATION: Irish Row (Yorkshire MC Hut), Coppermines Valley, Coniston, SS 293 984.
It's back to Irish Row. So those who can remember the navigational challenges of four years ago, will know what is in store. Those who can't, or weren't there, had better ask Mark Ashley.
On Saturday it is climbing - traditionally on Dow Crag, though there are many crags around Coppermines Valley, and there is Hodge Close Quarry for the E2 Lakeland slate afficionados. Alternatively some may take a sneaky walk, hoping to guess where the course will be. As usual, the Fell Race is on Sunday. Attendance by Committee members is compulsory, either to participate, marshall, revive the also-rans, or feed the hungry with bread and soup.
The idiosyncratic handicap system works to a secret formula that gets tweaked every year. But the more times you participate (without winning), the bigger your handicap next year. Trophies for fastest male, fastest female, Shelagh Manning handicap, and the Concordia Trophy, but only for KMC members. Guests can participate for the sheer hell of it!
Approaching Coniston from the N, along the A593, turn R immediately before the Black Bull pub. After ¼ mile the track goes L steeply and the surface deteriorates. Take care to avoid immovable boulders, especially if arriving in the dark on Friday night. Continue along the track towards the youth hostel. Irish Row is the line of cottages directly above the small footbridge on the R. Park responsibly; there is off-track parking on the L, 50 yds or so beyond the footbridge.
There are around 25 hut places, but please book ahead with Neville (£6 pp/pn) especially for Saturday night. Please note that to be on this meet, you must participate in the fell race, either as a runner, marshall, or official kitchen staff! The course will start and end at the hut. Course details will be posted on Sunday morning at 10.00 am. Start times (three groups) will be 11.00, 11.30, and 12.00 noon.
Contact Neville to make hut bookings, for further information, or with offers of help.
