Burnley 1, Liverpool 3
Jack Cork opened the scoring for Burnley
Anybody who watched Tyson Fury's resurrection against Deontay Wilder will know that a revival is never out of the question.
The "Gypsy King" looked down and out when the WBC champion landed a damaging left hook in the 12th and final round of their contest at the Staples Center in LA.
But, to the shock of those spectating, and to the disbelief of his American foe, the former ruler of the heavyweight division made a miraculous, almost film-like recovery, to beat the count and return to his feet.
Burnley have suffered several unanswered combinations that has stalled their Premier League campaign, leaving them in a crumpled pile at the foot of the table.
The surrender at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace had accentuated their near comatosed state at times this term.
However, just like Fury, when everybody was fearing the worst, Sean Dyche's side fought back valiantly to punch above their weight against big-hitting Liverpool at Turf Moor.
The difference in performances levels against the Eagles and against Jurgen Klopp's Champions League finalists was like night and day.
The Clarets seemed re-energised, re-vitalised, recovered. There was more energy in the press, more efficiency on and off the ball, more bite in the challenge.
Phil Bardsley, one of five changes, set the barometer when steaming in to a challenge on James Milner. Ben Mee did the same when unintentionally drawing a close to Joe Gomez's evening.
And Robbie Brady followed suit when alerting Trent Alexander-Arnold of his presence down in the corner where thousands of Reds fans were housed.
Ashley Westwood fired over the top from Johann Berg Gudmundsson's pass once Virgil van Dijk had stood tall to the threat of Chris Wood.
Alberto Moreno, deputising for the impressive Andy Robertson, went close when cutting across the ball from an almost impossible angle and Joe Hart was well-placed to collect van Dijk's pass from Milner's corner.
The home side had been second to the bits for much of the season, their industry from previous years overshadowed as the opposition dominated the second ball, but there was a change against Liverpool.
Burnley FC Women add to squad after successive titles
When Wood won a corner off the outstanding Naby Keita, and the resulting set-piece was cleared, Bardsley was first on the scene to drill the ball back in Alisson's direction. However, from 30 yards out, the full back's attempt flashed by the upright.
After Hart denied Keita at his near post from Daniel Sturridge's flick, the Clarets were denied the lead at the interval when Ashley Barnes's strike was chalked off.
The forward swept Brady's set-piece past Alisson first time but the linesman's flag was raised for offside.
Hart has made more saves than any other goalkeeper in the top flight this term and the hosts were thankful for his intervention on a couple of occasions early in the second half.
The four-time Golden Glove winner turned Sturridge's left-footed shot for a corner and then, at full flight, pushed the Keita's drive on to the post.
Burnley have only taken the lead three times this season, and have taken seven points from those games, so positivity spread when they had their noses in front in the 54th minute.
Barnes went in with Brazilian stopper Alisson when James Tarkowski's header was saved before Jack Cork guided the loose ball in to an empty net.
Klopp had opted to give star man Mohamed Salah and out-of-form Roberto Firmino a breather but the setback prompted him to turn to the duo.
The pair were stripped, warming up on the sidelines, but before they could be introduced the visitors levelled.
Milner, from nothing, passed the ball in to the corner from the edge of the box with Hart unsighted.
At this point Liverpool's substitutes were introduced and within minutes Firmino, who had replaced Merseyside derby hero Divock Origi, had them in front.
Centre back van Dijk, responsible for guiding the Netherlands to the Nations League final alongside England, turned Alexander-Arnold's free kick across the six-yard box and Firmino couldn't miss.
Keita and Salah were both thwarted by Hart as Liverpool looked to extend their lead, and the Guinea international midfielder was then denied by Tarkowski and Bardsley in the same sequence of play.
The game was still in the balance but, with Alisson clawing Mee's header off the line, the away side broke and sealed victory. This time it was Xherdan Shaqiri who converted from Salah's pass.
The result may not have gone Burnley's way, just as it hadn't for Fury in California, but it was more about what the performance represented.
The Clarets remain in the bottom three but tonight suggested that they could still beat the count.


Works have started on the church and will continue for 8 to 10 weeks; due to be completed in early to middle of March.
There has been damage to the wooden panels and walls near St Joseph's altar caused by water leaking through a broken 'boot' in the guttering outside. The guttering has been fixed and the wooden panels are being dealt with inside.
Extractor fans have been fitted in the sacristy to avoid a build up of condensation which has caused damage to walls and ceilings.
The ceiling boards in the main Church building will be cleaned, re-stained and varnished. Great care is being taken to cover and protect the stone columns, walls, windows and mosaics.
Painted walls and panels will be repainted.
The walls and mosaics will be cleaned - very carefully.
The pews will be cleaned, sanded and varnished. Kneelers will be repaired and recovered.
Carpets will be done at the end.
The sound system will also be updated.
There will be new wooden holders and stands, hand crafted in Streatham, for leaflets, missalettes, etc.
An interesting change to the metal security shutters outside the repository/shop is also on the way!
One of the two confessionals seems to have been locked for some years; we have now broken in! Both confessionals will be refurbished to provide a more comfortable environment and the opportunity for face to face confessions.
Restoration of chalices, cyboriums, sanctuary lights and candles.
The toilets will be re-tiled and renewed.
Week ending 28-Feb-2016: While some work continues on the columns near the High Altar, work has started in Our Lady's aisle - sanding and preparing the side wall panels. The new lights have been repositioned. In the "crying chapel" painting has been done and new notice boards put up.
Week ending 21-Feb-2016: Much of the work this week has been at high levels, requiring careful work and taking time. The ceiling areas and arches over the high altar have been painted and continuing out onto the left hand side. Something new and blue has also started to appear.
Week ending 07-Feb-2016: The big visual progress this week has been the start of cleaning the stone columns in the church.
Week ending 23-Jan-2016: As you can see, on the St Joseph's side of the church the walls and panelling are painted, mosaics are being carefully washed. Some of the altar has been cleaned (what a brilliant difference I'm sure you would agree!).
Week ending 16-Jan-2016: Work is in progress on the panelling on the walls and the front doors have been rubbed down ready to be properly varnished. The ceiling on the St Joseph's side of the church has been completely sanded down and is now being stained.
Week ending 9-Jan-2016: Scaffolding up in St Joseph's aisle as the ceiling boards are cleaned, stained and varnished. Side panelling removed to sort out damp.

Multidimensional Bell inequalities and quantum cryptography. Codes, cryptology, and information security.
Abstract : The laws of quantum physics allow the design of cryptographic protocols for which the security is based on physical principles. The main cryptographic quantum protocols are key distribution schemes, in which two parties generate a shared random secret string. The privacy of the key can be checked using Bell inequalities. However, the Bell inequalities initial purpose was a fundamental one, as they showed how quantum rules are incompatible with our intuition of reality. This paper begins with an introduction about quantum information theory, Bell inequalities, quantum cryptography. Then it presents the use of qudits for Bell inequalities and cryptography.


The long beta period is over: Grasshopper, the world's most beautiful programming language, is now a full-fledged part of Rhino. Used in some of the most ambitious design projects of the past decade, Grasshopper, like Rhino, has become a robust development platform. Grasshopper provides the solid foundation for many incredible third-party components ranging from environmental analysis to robotic control.
Presentation is key: during nearly every phase of design, you need to communicate, getting "buy-in" from clients, customers, collaborators, or the public at large. We've improved Rhino with the aim of helping you present your work: be it "quick and dirty" or "high-res glossy." With major changes to Rendering, Materials, or just plain capturing the viewport, it's now easier and faster to present, discuss, make decisions, and iterate.
Rhino's new display pipeline is faster, more stable, and uses features found on modern graphics hardware, like GPU sensitive shaders and memory optimizations. This results in fewer GPU-specific display glitches and more consistent, beautiful, and frequent frames, even with large models. In some conditions, display speed can be up to 300% faster.
Modeling is just one part of the design process; you also need to show how to build what is on the screen. We've refined many parts of the documentation workflow, from a completely reworked annotation-style interface, to better DWG support, and RichText throughout. It's now easier to convey accurately and clearly the what and the how of your design.
We have worked hard to make Rhino easier to install, license, and configure. There's a great new option to license Rhino using the Cloud Zoo. Please check out the new System Requirements as well.
Small quirks add up to painful paper cuts over the course of a prolonged modeling session. In Rhino 6, we've fixed hundreds of minor bugs and consolidated disparate – but similar – features into single commands, making Rhino much more refined.
We're constantly improving Rhino. Rhino 6 users have access to the Serengeti community and our Work-In-Progress (WIP) builds. The WIP builds are where we are developing future features like SubD support, Grasshopper 2, a new real-time rendering engine, and much more.


17 Things the Government Doesn't Want You to Know About The Internet (Project Invess) was created and performed by an ensemble of 13-16 year olds from Bathurst, made during a series of intensive workshops with local professional theatre makers.
There's a secret the governments of the world don't want you to know about. The INVESS Project promised life eternal – inside the internet. But that was 10 years ago. Now five Bathurst teenagers have been sucked into the net, into INVESS. The world they find is full of mad memes, warped websites, harassing hashtags – and it's not a place you want to get trapped alone. '17 Things That The Government Doesn't Want You To Know About The Internet' is a contemporary, slap-stick, musical whirl through cyberspace. With original songs and plenty of pop culture references to get you up-to-date with what the kids are talking about. It's as dark as it is hilarious, as dank as it is lit.

Erasing The Stigma Of Wearing Hearing Aids
Discreet devices so high-tech once-reluctant patient calls them 'bionic ears'
Candy Swick
Between work and play, Candy Swick stays so busy that "active" falls short of adequately describing her bustling lifestyle.
"A better word is probably 'hyperactive,' " says the popular real estate agent.
Indeed, when she's not working, Candy is either singing in a band at church, on a mission trip, scuba diving, or skiing on water or possibly even snow.
"I also work out," says Candy, who recently worked out an issue with hearing loss that she wrestled with for close to eight years.
Unable to clearly distinguish soft sounds, Candy was fit with hearing aids soon after the problem was detected, but she quickly abandoned the devices. Seven years later, she was urged by friends and family to revisit the idea of wearing hearing aids.
"They said I was always asking people to repeat themselves, so I went back to the ear, nose and throat specialist I went to eight years ago," Candy recalls. "This time, he told me to go see Dr. Breese. He said, She used to work for me and she's excellent."
Kelly Breese, AuD, is the owner of Hearing Aids of Sarasota. Dr. Breese wears hearing devices herself and understands that, like Candy, people are often hesitant to wear them.
"A lot of people think wearing hearing aids means you're old," she says. "But that's not true. People of all ages wear hearing aids. Hearing aids don't just treat hearing loss, they also improve brain function. Hearing health is brain health."
Because the stigma associated with hearing aids played a part in Candy's hesitance to wear them, Dr. Breese fit her with extremely discreet devices that are so technologically advanced that Candy has dubbed them "bionic ears."
"That's her way of putting a positive spin on the fact she's wearing hearing devices," says Dr. Breese, who fit Candy with Oticon More hearing aids that include omni-directional hearing and Bluetooth technology.
Omni-directional reception allows the wearer to hear sounds coming from any direction, including behind, while Bluetooth allows the wearer to hear sounds generated by electronic devices.
Candy greatly appreciates all that the devices have to offer.
"Sometimes I have clients in the car with me or when I'm taking a listing and my phone will ring and I'll answer it without even picking it up," Candy explains. "I've had a few people look at me kind of strangely and ask, How did you do that?
"I tell them, It's because I have bionic ears, and they ask, What are those? Then I explain it to them, and I've had people say, You know, my husband or wife has been thinking of getting those. How do you like them?
"I tell them that getting these bionic ears was one of the best decisions I've ever made because I don't want to be that person who doesn't hear or participate in a conversation and becomes isolated. It was just the smart thing to do.
"And I can't thank Dr. Breese enough for helping me make that decision. She's delightful, and what I really like about her is that she has her own bionic ears, so she knows what people with hearing loss are going through. She can relate."

From the traumatic events, he swore to protect his sisters and father to never let them be harmed. Heinrich then proceeded to earn his Bachelors in medical science at the University of Cambridge where he also learned English. Heinrich would then suffered a tragic accident when accepting his degree at the graduation ceremony, his sisters both fell ill. After the death of his sisters, Heinrich and his father moved to Cambridge to be closer to each other while Heinrich attended school. During his time at school, he attempted to discover a cure to the illness that befell both his sisters, eventually, this journey consumed him. Heinrich spends days and nights within the laboratory to determine what exactly harmed his sisters, and his work couldn't continue theoretically, so he had to start using subject. At first, his subjects would generally be lesser beings such as rats and low budget entities; however, this wouldn't always be the case. During his long periods of study in the lab, Heinrich would fall into disagreements with his bachelor father, who attempted to remarry. Disgusted with the idea of his father with another woman, he tricked his father into becoming a test subject by lobotomizing him and turning it into the first human Heinrich ever operated on. much later in life, he changed his name to Kaiser in order to remove the negative family influence from his past and permanently breaking his psychology and creating Heinrich Von Kaiser. 8 years before the outbreak Kaisers' independent practice went under malpractice investigation and was forced to shut down under the order of the crown. After such time Kaiser was forced into homelessness, which only furthered his mental instability. 3 years before the outbreak Kaiser made a name for himself by performing lobotomies on the homeless population in Cambridge and eventually returned to Berlin to do the same, only not on the homeless. Potius Cras caught him attempting to steal from a high ranking company doctor in his home and was to be put to death, but his cunning wit allowed him to set himself a place on the research team and began doing experiments under Dr. Maximus. Although his resentful nature towards Maximus is what lead him to be a new ground operator he respected his work ethic and his research. Dr. Kaiser is now working with the ground team looking to analyze with the samples gathered and will be leading research and development in Cherno-Russia.

TonyBet Slapped with £442K Fine for 'Unfair' Withdrawal Conditions
Posted on: January 18, 2023, 06:38h.
Last updated on: January 19, 2023, 05:34h.

European online sportsbook TonyBet has been fined £442,750 (US$547,000) by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) for "unfair" conditions in its small print that could have been designed to frustrate player withdrawals.
The TobyBet platform, pictured above, was focused on tying up withdrawals in red tape dressed as AML and social responsibility procedures, according to the UKGC. (Image: TonyBet)
The regulator said Wednesday it imposed the fine for the company's failure "to have fair and transparent terms, and for failing to follow social responsibility and anti-money laundering (AML) rules."
The offending clauses in TonyBet's terms and conditions include one informing customers that the operator had the right to seek ID documents for "all withdrawals," even if these checks were not required during the deposit process.
Additionally, the operator stipulated that winnings could be confiscated where customers had failed to provide the relevant documentation within 30 days. And it said customer accounts were considered dormant after six months inactivity, rather than the 12 months specified in UKGC regulations.
Bending the Rules
The implication is that TonyBet wanted to make it much harder for players to withdraw funds by tying the process up in red tape while making the deposit process as frictionless as possible.
This could all be achieved under the pretext that the operator was simply complying with AML and social responsibility rules, which were in fact being bent in its favor.
There has long been anecdotal evidence of sports books hampering withdrawals with onerous verification processes, presumably in the hope that players would simply give up. But this is the first time that an operator in the UK has been penalized for seemingly admitting as much in its small print.
TonyBet is based in Lithuania, but is licensed to operate in the UK via its TonyBet.co.uk platform.
Not Tony's Fault
The company was founded in 2009 by the famously brash Lithuanian-Australian poker player and gambler Antanas Guoga, commonly known as "Tony G."
Guoga later represented Lithuania as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP). He also started the PokerNews.com website. He sold TonyBet in 2016 and no longer has anything to do with the company.
In addition to the fine, the UKGC said TonyBet will have to undergo a third-party audit to assess whether it is effectively complying with AML and social responsibility regulations.
"Not only does this case illustrate our drive to clamp down on anti-money laundering and social responsibility failures, but also highlights action we will take against gambling businesses who fail to be fair and open with customers," said Kay Roberts, Executive Director of Operations, said.
A previous version of this article stated, incorrectly, that TonyBet is owned by the Betsson Group, whereas Betsson no longer has any ties whatsoever to TonyBet.

This project has the large task of monitoring and conserving shorebirds along the New South Wales coastline from Wollongong all the way to the Victorian border. Along this coast there are a number of important shorebird sites which are the focus of the project's activities.
Hooded Plovers, Pied Oystercatchers, and Sooty Oystercatchers are spread throughout the area and may be seen at different times in different places. It pays to keep your eyes open aaround any beach, estuary or headland!
However, the Little Terns come every year to some estuaries for breeding. Their exact nesting site may vary within the estuary depending on conditions such as whether the estuary is open or closed to the sea and the availability of suitable sandy shoals or dunes.
Some of these sites may not be in use in any given year, and in some years all sites are used. A catastrophe such as a storm surge or a raid by foxes may wipe out an entire nesting site and cause the birds to try again at one of the other sites. Check out Season Update page for details of the current season.
We are happy for interested persons to Share the Shoreline with the Little Terns in a responsible and non-disturbing manner. Please read our "How You Can Help" page before you venture to one of these sites for some bird watching. It contains information on helpful behaviours around sensitive sites.
The following are the major Little Tern breeding sites within our area.
Lake Wollumboola is located south of Culburra Beach, between the Shoalhaven River and Jervis Bay and the Beecroft Peninsula. The Lake, sand bar and south west part of the catchment are included in the Jervis Bay National Park. This important site can have over 50 pairs nesting.
Lake Conjola is located north of Ulladulla and Milton, just south of Green Island. The Little Terns usually nest near the entrance to the lake. Some years over 30 pairs will nest here. This land is Crown Reserve under the management of Shoalhaven City Council. Over the summer holidays the area is subject to heavy visitation and beach usage.
Tuross Lake is roughly midway between Moruya and Narooma. It is a large estuary which can produce a lot of fledglings in a good year. Over 50 pairs nest here, usually on the spit on the southern side of the entrance to the sea, but often on the large sandy shoals just west of the entrance. This area is within Eurobodalla National Park.
Brou Lake is just north of Narooma and south of Potato Point. It is a fickle site in terms of some years having quite a few pairs and some years none at all. The nesting sites are often inundated due to the lake being closed for very long periods. this area is also within Eurobodalla National Park.
Mogareka, at the entrance of the Bega River just north of Tathra, is another fickle site. The birds can be there in big numbers one year and very few in another. in 2008 over 20 pairs nested. this site is easily accessible by humans, and is just north of the heavily-populated camping and caravan parks in Tathra over the summer holidays. This area is Crown Reserve, managed by Bega Valley Shire Council.
Wallagoot Lake is within Bournda National Park and can be busy or not depending on the level of water in the lake. Its famous "Bird Island" west of the entrance can be a tight nesting area with over 20 pairs. If the lake level is not right there will be no birds there at all.

Marijuana Use Linked To Weaker Heart Muscles
On the heels of both recreational and medical marijuana getting legal status in multiple states across the nation, a new study suggests that pot use may be linked to weaker heart muscles.
Researchers state that cannabis users were two times more likely to develop a heart condition called transient ventricular regional ballooning (TVRB) than those who did not use marijuana. TVRB is a form of cardiomyopathy, where the heart muscles suddenly weaken in a state similar to a heart attack. Symptoms include chest pain, shortness of breath and dizziness, but it is a temporary illness, Live Science reports.
Dr. Amitoj Singh, chief cardiology fellow at St. Luke's University Health Network in Pennsylvania and co-author of the study, notes that their most interesting find was how marijuana users were the opposite of the people that TVRB commonly affects.
TVRB generally strikes in post-menopausal women. But in the study, the pot users who developed the condition averaged 44 years old, and 36% were men.
Among non-marijuana users who got TVRB, the average age was 66 years, and only 8% were men.
None of the participants died from TVRB. But Singh says, people should know that "certain cardiovascular abnormalities and complications can occur from marijuana use."
The researchers examined data from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database, which contained information from hospitals in 44 states. They found 33,343 TVRB cases admitted between 2003 and 2011, 210 of whom reported having used marijuana or had markers of the drug in their tests.
After factoring in various considerations linked to TVRB, like depression and anxiety, the researchers say that the link between the heart condition and cannabis remained the same. It's still unclear how the drug brings on TVRB, as this is a fairly new condition, Singh says. Some research has pointed to high levels of stress hormones, which increases in marijuana users.
Singh emphasizes that he acknowledges marijuana's positive effects on people's health, but it needs more studies to prove its medical benefits. "We don't know everything about marijuana," he says.

In most of the United States we have just pushed our clocks ahead one hour. This means that we also get less sleep, although the effects of losing that hour normally wear off after the first week of Daylight Saving Time.
So now that we have sprung ahead and your employees will be up an hour earlier getting their work done, why not examine the equipment they use to make certain that it is up to the task? It is okay for us to spring forward in hours but it is not okay for your employees to use clean linen carts that lurch forward at odd times, sending clean laundry to the floor. And laundry is not the only thing that may be damaged if your allow your employees to use rickety laundry carts to transport clean laundry: there is the possibility that your employees themselves may get hurt if an unstable laundry cart is overturned.
The Motorized Linen Cart eliminates the manual pushing of heavy clean linen carts, especially where carpeting makes them difficult to push. The powered cart is motorized for moving clean linens used for daily duties in hospitality and hospital environments. It can haul loads of up to 700 lbs. It's variable speed twist grip allows the operator to travel forwards or backwards at speeds between 0 and 3 miles per hour, all while maintaining control.

Though this is only a dot release, it is packed full of new and exciting capabilities to make managing your private and public cloud easier, so you can achieve self-driving operations and run production operations hands-off and hassle-free.
In this blog, we will be covering the steps to assess your environment before you upgrade and the upgrade process itself. If you would like to learn more about the new features included with this next release, please see the What's New in vRealize Operations 6.7 blog.
The evolution of vRealize Operations (vROps) over its many years has seen a number of additional metrics incorporated into the product. With the release of vRealize Operations (vROps) 6.7, you will experience a reduced footprint by 30% and a simplified content so product analytics can run faster. Many of the newer metrics overlap or replace legacy metrics to eliminate unnecessary data points and provide precise performance and capacity analytics within vROps.
Are Your Ready to Upgrade to vROps 6.7?
The product team created a vRealize Operations Upgrade Assessment Tool to help you assess your upgrade readiness and determine how your custom content in previous versions might need to be updated so you can achieve a seamless upgrade.
Let's take a closer look at the report that is generated from the assessment tool. Once you open the generated report you will see the dashboard with a summary of affected objects for dashboards, reports, alerts, supermetrics, and others.
By selecting one of the object types from the Summary Report you will get a detailed list of the affected components, including component name, owner, widget, views, etc. You will notice that not all components might be relevant to you, so focus on those that you actively use.
By clicking on the metric from the Impacted Component Details page, you will see the exact metric in question with a hyperlink to see, when available, a recommendation on a replacement metric to use instead. For example, in the image above you have an affected dashboard named "NOC: VM Configuration". This dashboard has a deprecated metric called "guestfilesystem|freespace_total". If you click on the hyperlink metric name you will be brought to the exact metric in question with recommended actions to take.
You will notice that, in this example, there is a suggested replacement metric (Guest File System | Utilization (%)) for the deprecated metric (Guest File System stats|Total Guest File System Free(gb)). You can now go into the dashboard in question in vRealize Operations and replace the deprecated metric with the suggested replacement metric and ensure that the dashboard works before you upgrade to vRealize Operations 6.7.
Once you have completed the upgrade assessment and updated the affected components, if any were found, you can confidently upgrade to vRealize Operations 6.7.
How to Upgrade to vROps 6.7?
After selecting the Action dropdown menu you will select Global Settings, then select Currency to set the currency for the platform. Once the Set Currency window appears you can find the currency appropriate for your installation. Accept the warning that once you set the currency for the platform it can no longer be changed. Finally, select Set Currency to complete the upgrade process. Within a two-hour period you will start to see costing and performance data populated within the different areas of the vRealize Operations 6.7 platform.
Upgrade to vRealize Operations 6.7 to enjoy the major enhancements and new capabilities.
I have created a video to better illustrate the Workload Optimization solution and provides a nice overview. You can also view several other videos for vRealize Operations 6.7 on our new website VMware vRealize Suite Technical Guides which is focused on technical resources you can use to get the most out of your vRealize Operations experience.


Before you go outside, check the weather forecast. Be aware of wind chill warning, as this can make the air feel significantly more cold. You can check the weather through your television and radio, or online through your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Make sure you have plans for cold weather safety set in advance. For example, if one day of the week is expected to be much less cold than the others, schedule your errands for that day. Make sure you have safety measures in place, like an emergency kit in the car.
Make sure to dress in layers, including a wind-resistant outer lay. Always wear a hat and gloves/mittens. Waterproof boots are very important. You can also wear a scarf, neckwarmer, or face mask to keep your face warm in the bitter cold. Especially on the coldest days, make sure you have as little exposed skin as possible.
Your body will become rapidly chilled if covered in wet clothing. This is why wearing waterproof layers, including waterproof boots and even snowpants, is extremely important if you are in the snow. Sweat can wet clothing and chill you, so remove layers if you are sweating.
Because it generates body heat, physical movement can help keep you warm. Keep your body moving, whether running in place or rubbing your hands together.
Especially with a high wind chill, it is important to find shelter if you feel yourself struggling with the cold. Bus shelters make a great place to stop and warm up slightly before continuing on your journey.
There is a much higher risk for hypothermia and frostbite on extremely cold days. Hypothermia is caused by a drop in body temperature, and causes shivering, confusing, and loss of muscular control. It can even lead to cardiac arrest. If you see someone with signs of hypothermia, get medical attention immediately and bring them to the safety of indoors.
Frostbite is a condition in which fat, muscle, and bone is frozen. Skin gets hard and the area is numb. Frostbite can be extremely serious and even result in amputation, so seek medical attention immediately. Slowly and gradually warm the area using body heat or warm water, not direct heat.
Bitter cold with significant wind chill isn't just unpleasant, it can be very dangerous. Take these steps and make sure you are safe in cold winter weather.

Q: Generalized Lokta Volterra Model in python I am currently working on a generalized Lokta Volterra model to represent microbial communities. However I am struggling to do so.
This is the Lokta Volterra equation used in a couple papers.

Does anyone have an idea on how to code the gLV equation above?
I tried doing the following code but I am sure it is not the way to do it
def gLV(X,t, r, a):
    x= X

    dx = x *(r+a*y)

    return dx

Nt=100
tmax=300
t=np.linspace(0., tmax, Nt)
x0=4
r=1
a=1

res=integrate.odeint(gLV, x0,t,args=(r,a))
x = res.T

A: Almost correct. Just consider that * in python-numpy is always term-wise multiplication, a*b is the array with entries a[k]*b[k], similar to a+b. This is what is wanted for the "outer" product, the "inner" is proper matrix-vector product.
Assuming a recent version of python 3, the correct way is
def gLV(X,t, r, A):
    return X * (r + A @ X)

Other, older notation for the product is np.matmul(A,X) or A.dot(X). Do not mix arrays as vectors and matrices as (row, column) vectors.

It's very easy to see the fractures in the world, the places where things are broken or not going right. Many of us committed to social change have become expert at this practice, which is a vital skill for encouraging cultural transformation and supporting social justice efforts.
However, this sensibility which is so essential in a world desperately in need of healing can sometimes become the lens that filters all that we see. And even with a clear focus on achieving meaningful change, the constant striving to fix what is broken can hold us back from deeper change—in our own lives, in our relationships, and in our world.
Wholeness relies on seeing a complete spectrum of experience—the bright and shadow sides of our lives, those who agree with us and those who disagree, that which lifts us up about the world and that which we find abhorrent.
Thomas Merton shares that "compassion is the keen awareness of the interdependence of all things." In my own work around sustainability and social change issues, I am constantly wrestling with this idea and my relationship to it which creates the gulf between the way I'd like the world to be and the way the world actually is. It's my sense that, especially among social activists, we need to build our skills more completely in this arena. We must see the connections between people, organizations and issues both as a way of designing more realistic and relevant strategies and to feel the power of joining with others to create more impact through our work.
There is a Japanese concept known as wabi-sabi which seeks to draw out both an aesthetic and personal philosophy of seeing beauty in imperfection. The fallen leaves seen in so many places during this time of year are an excellent illustration of this concept. There is an embrace in nature of complete cycles, of the importance of defeat, death and decay as an inextricable and essential piece of supporting the continuation of life.
This absolutely does not mean that we should simply accept things as they are, and see the incredible injustices that exist as a given or as irreparable. But seeing the wholeness of the world may allow us to draw strength from the positive to support our work when the road seems to have lengthened before us or the prospect of ever seeing change becomes overwhelming.
Ultimately, wholeness helps us both see the world and see ourselves in the context of endless connection. And this can only enrich our work—whether or not we consider ourselves in the sustainability and social change arena. It provides a profound perspective on our relationships with ourselves and with others which can serve us in many instances.

Q: Insert data from one table to another in one column while inserting new data in another column I am currently learning T-SQL and I made this table that I use to learn sql and database design. At the moment I have data in one table that looks something like this:

ProductID     AmountOfTypeA    AmountOfTypeB    AmountOfTypeC    some other atributes
                                                                describing product....
---------     -------------    -------------    -------------
101           1                2                0
102           0                1                3
103           5                0                0

etc...

I want to normalize this data and eliminate the redundant 0 where there is no products of that type. I made a new table with columns: 'ProductID', 'Type' and 'Amount' and use the Foreign key to link the two tables by ProductID. At the moment I am going column by column using INSERT INTO dbo.tProdTypes (ProductID, Amount) FROM dbo.tProducts and then I manually populate the 'Type' column.
However I was wondering is it possible to do it in one query, specifically to insert some data from other table as one column and some custom data as second column. Also I don't mind going column by column but if there is a way to insert all columns at once it would be great.

A: I think something like this would work:
INSERT tProdTypes (ProductID, Amount, Type)
SELECT ProductID, AmountOfTypeA, 'TypeA'
FROM tProducts
WHERE AmountOfTypeA > 0
UNION
SELECT ProductID, AmountOfTypeB, 'TypeB'
FROM tProducts
WHERE AmountOfTypeB > 0
UNION
SELECT ProductID, AmountOfTypeC, 'TypeC'
FROM tProducts
WHERE AmountOfTypeC > 0

A: Also you can use UNPIVOT:
;WITH cte AS (
SELECT *
FROM (VALUES
(101, 1, 2, 0),
(102, 0, 1, 3),
(103, 5, 0, 0)
) as t (ProductID, AmountOfTypeA, AmountOfTypeB, AmountOfTypeC)
)

SELECT ProductID, Amount, [Type]
FROM
   (SELECT ProductID, AmountOfTypeA AS A, AmountOfTypeB AS B, AmountOfTypeC AS C
   FROM cte) p
UNPIVOT
   (Amount FOR [Type] IN
      (A, B, C)
)AS unpvt;

Output:
ProductID   Amount      Type
----------- ----------- -----------
101         1           A
101         2           B
101         0           C
102         0           A
102         1           B
102         3           C
103         5           A
103         0           B
103         0           C

Maharashtra: Govt makes 100 per cent attendance compulsory for all teachers to conduct final-year exams
According to a issued by the department, while the results need to be declared by November first week, teachers and non-teaching staff will be required on a large scale to conduct the exams.
With final-year exams in the state set to be conducted online between October 1 to 31, the state higher and technical education department on Friday made 100 per cent attendance compulsory for all teachers associated with the university as well as its affiliated colleges, autonomous colleges, and self-financed colleges during the examination process.
According to an issued by the department, while the results need to be declared by November first week, teachers and non-teaching staff will be required on a large scale to conduct the exams. The order, however, did not find favour among many teachers.
Dr Tapati Mukhopadhyay of Maharashtra Federation of Universities and Teachers Organizations said, "At a time when gathering is being discouraged and Covid-19 cases are on a rise, the government wants teachers to attend colleges in full strength. Since the exams will be held online, why should teachers unnecessarily come to college?"
"Also, many colleges do not even have proper infrastructure (to ensure safety norms are followed). We will be signing a mass petition against this," she added.
Meanwhile, the department has also formed a 16-member task force to study all aspects of the National Education Policy (NEP). The committee, which will be presided by Vasudha Kamat – a member of the Kasturirangan committee that formulated the NEP – is expected to submit a report to the government within three months. The committee has been mandated to present interim reports on subjects of immediate importance.
The department, in another notification, announced government's approval to merge institutions started under the same management from academic year 2020-21. This comes after the All India Council of Technical Education allowed institutions offering diplomas, degrees and postgraduate degrees in technical and management courses to merge.
From 2021-22 academic year, the minimum age for children to be enrolled in playgroups or nursery will be 3+ years, whereas for class I, the minimum age will be 6+ years, the School Education department said Friday. The cut-off date for the academic year will be December 31.
Earlier, the cut-off date was September 30. The rule will have to be followed by schools affiliated to all boards, it said.

Whether Designing Pumpkins or Extreme Rovers, It's All About Guts
By Lyle Tavernier
All spacecraft are made for extreme environments. They travel through dark, frigid regions of space, battle intense radiation and, in some cases, perform daring feats to land on mysterious worlds. But the rover that Tonya Beatty is helping design for Venus – and other so-called extreme environments – is in a class all its own. Venus is so inhospitable that no spacecraft has ever lasted more than about two hours on the surface. So Beatty, an intern at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and an aerospace engineering student at College of the Canyons, is working to develop a new kind of rover that's powered mostly by gears rather than sensitive electronics. We caught up with Beatty just before she embarked on another engineering challenge – JPL's annual Halloween pumpkin-carving contest – to find out what it takes to turn an impossible idea into a reality.
Meet JPL Interns
Read stories from interns pushing the boundaries of space exploration and science at the leading center for robotic exploration of the solar system.
What are you working on at JPL?
I'm working with a team on the HAR-V project, which stands for Hybrid Automaton Rover-Venus. It's a study to develop a rover meant to go to Venus. I'm assisting in the development of mechanical systems and mechanisms on the prototype, using clockwork maneuvers. This rover will use minimal electronics, so when I say clockwork, I mean gears and anything that does not rely on electronics.
Why is this rover not relying on electronics and relying more on a gear system?
The environment on Venus includes sulfuric acid clouds, a surface pressure about 90 times what it is on Earth and a temperature that exceeds 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The materials in most electronics would melt in that extreme environment, so that's why we're trying to go mechanical. The previous landers that have gone to Venus have relied on electronics, and the one that lasted the longest only lasted 127 minutes, whereas ours, using the mechanical design, is projected to last about six months. So that's why we're going with this design.
What does a typical day look like for you?
A typical day for me consists of designing mechanisms, designing mechanical systems, ordering parts for those mechanical systems, testing them on the active prototype that we have and redesigning if necessary. It's kind of a mixture of all that, depending on where we're at in each step.
What is the ultimate goal of your project?
My personal goal with this internship is to connect the things I'm learning in school to real-world applications, as well as see what it would be like to be an aerospace engineer. Specific to the HAR-V study, my goals are to design a power-transfer mechanism, redesign the reversing mechanism on the rover itself, and redesign the obstacle avoidance mechanism. Those are all things that I'm now learning as I'm doing the internship, which is great. I love learning new things.
As for HAR-V itself, the goal is to be able to withstand those extreme environments for longer than 127 minutes and retrieve the groundbreaking data that we've been wanting from Venus but haven't been able to get because we haven't had the time we need [with previous landers].
Personally, at 19, I never thought that I would be working on a rover for Venus at NASA. By sharing my story, I hope people take away that some of the things they might think are impossible are really right there. They've just got to reach for it.
What's the most JPL or NASA unique experience that you've had so far?
As much as I'd like to say something cool like watching the rovers being tested, I have to say it's the deer. Every day, wherever I go – to laser-cut something or go get a coffee – I see deer. One day I saw six. I just think that's so unique because it's something I never expected to get from this experience. And I think it's unique to JPL.
Beatty participated in JPL's annual Halloween pumpkin-carving contest and, with her team, won first place with this pumpkin modeled after the character Miguel from the movie "Coco." Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech | + Expand image
Speaking of unique experiences, your group holds an annual pumpkin-carving contest and makes some amazing creations. Are you planning to participate in the contest this year?
I actually just got the emails today. I didn't know this was a JPL thing. It's a big deal! So, yes, I'd like to!
Do you know what your team is planning to make? Don't worry, we won't share this until after the contest, so it won't leak to any competitor.
We're making Miguel from [the movie] "Coco" with his guitar, and we're going to try and make it move.
How does designing a mechanical or creative pumpkin compare to designing a rover for Venus?
Well, with a pumpkin, I would care about how it looks, whereas with the rover, I care about how it functions. A pumpkin has real guts, and a rover has metaphorical guts. It's got to keep on going. But I think the biggest similarity is the creativeness between both of them, because you have to be creative to make an innovative pumpkin. Just like when you design a rover, you have to be creative; you can't just be smart. You have to have those creative ideas. You have to think outside of the box to actually design efficient and effective components, and you can't just give up. When you have a failed attempt, you try it again.
Do you have any tips for anyone who want to make a creative pumpkin?

Get tips from NASA engineers on how to make an out-of-this-world Halloween pumpkin.
Don't be afraid of your ideas. Sometimes we limit ourselves because we're like, "You know that's too crazy. We shouldn't do that," but it takes crazy ideas to be an engineer and it takes crazy ideas to carve a good pumpkin.
OK, back to your internship: How do you feel you're contributing to NASA missions and science?
I think my active participation in the rover study is helping contribute to NASA-JPL missions, because something I have designed could very well be on an actual rover that could go to Venus, that would retrieve data, that does help NASA. So I think in that sense, I am contributing.
One last fun question: If you could travel to any place in space, where would you go, and what would you do there?
I would go to Europa. I would like to see first-hand if there is an ocean and if there's an environment that could sustain life. Chemistry has always interested me, so I would love to see that up close and analyze everything.

A Teachable Moment You Can See! The Transit of Mercury
UPDATE - May 9, 2016: NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, or SDO, spacecraft captured stunning images of the May 9, 2016 transit of Mercury. Visit the mission's Transit of Mercury page to see a collection of videos of the transit compiled using SDO images. And have students play "Can You Spot Mercury?" in our educational slideshow.
It only happens about 13 times per century and hasn't happened in nearly a decade, but on Monday, May 9, Mercury will transit the sun. A transit happens when a planet crosses in front of a star. From our perspective on Earth, we only ever see two planets transit the sun: Mercury and Venus. (Transits of Venus are even more rare. The next one won't happen until 2117!) On May 9, as Mercury passes in front of the sun, viewers around Earth (using the proper safety equipment) will be able to see a tiny dark spot moving slowly across the disk of the sun.
CAUTION: Looking directly at the sun can cause permanent vision damage – see below for tips on how to safely view the transit.
In the early 1600s, Johannes Kepler discovered that both Mercury and Venus would transit the sun in 1631. It was fortunate timing: The telescope had been invented just 23 years earlier and the transits wouldn't happen in the same year again until 13425. Kepler didn't survive to see the transits, but French astronomer Pierre Gassendi became the first person to see the transit of Mercury (the transit of Venus wasn't visible from Europe). It was soon understood that transits could be used as an opportunity to measure the apparent diameter – how large a planet appears from Earth – with great accuracy.
In 1677, Edmond Halley observed the transit of Mercury and realized that the parallax shift of the planet – the variation in Mercury's apparent position against the disk of the sun as seen by observers at distant points on Earth – could be used to accurately measure the distance between the sun and Earth, which wasn't known at the time.
Today, radar is used to measure the distance between Earth and the sun with greater precision than can be found using transit observations, but the transit of Mercury still provides scientists with opportunities for scientific investigation in two important areas: exospheres and exoplanets.
Exosphere Science
Some objects, like the moon and Mercury, were originally thought to have no atmosphere. But scientists have discovered that these bodies are actually surrounded in an ultra-thin atmosphere of gases called an exosphere. Scientists want to better understand the composition and density of the gases that make up Mercury's exosphere and transits make that possible.
"When Mercury is in front of the sun, we can study the exosphere close to the planet," said NASA scientist Rosemary Killen. "Sodium in the exosphere absorbs and re-emits a yellow-orange color from sunlight, and by measuring that absorption, we can learn about the density of gas there."
This image of Mercury passing in front of the sun was captured on Nov. 8, 2006 by the Solar Optical Telescope, one of three primary instruments on the Hinode spacecraft. Image credit: Hinode JAXA/NASA/PPARC
Exoplanet Discoveries
When Mercury transits the sun, it causes a slight dip in the sun's brightness as it blocks a tiny portion of the sun's light. Scientists discovered they could use that phenomenon to search for planets orbiting distant stars, called exoplanets, that are otherwise obscured from view by the light of the star. When measuring the brightness of far-off stars, a slight recurring dip in the light curve (a graph of light intensity) could indicate an exoplanet orbiting and transiting its star. NASA's Kepler mission has found more than 1,000 exoplanets by looking for this telltale drop in brightness.
This diagram shows how scientists use the light curves of distant stars to search for planets outside our solar system. A drop in the light curve, as illustrated here, is a good indication that there's a planet orbiting the observed star. Credit: NASA Ames
The Kepler mission measures the brightness of stars. The data will look like an EKG showing the heart beat. Whenever a planet passes in front of its parent star as viewed from the spacecraft, a tiny pulse or beat is produced. From the repeated beats, we can detect and verify the existence of Earth-size planets and learn about the orbit and size of the planet. Video credit: NASA Ames and Dana Berry
Additionally, scientists have begun exploring the exospheres of exoplanets. By observing the spectra of the light that passes through an exosphere – similar to how we study Mercury's exosphere – scientists are beginning to understand the evolution of exoplanet atmospheres as well as the influence of stellar wind and magnetic fields.
Mercury will appear as a tiny dot on the sun's surface and will require a telescope or binoculars with a special solar filter to see. Looking at the sun directly or through a telescope without proper protection can lead to serious and permanent vision damage. Do not look directly at the sun without a solar filter.
The transit of Mercury will begin at 4:12 a.m. PDT, meaning by the time the sun rises on the West Coast, Mercury will have been transiting the sun for nearly two hours. Fortunately, it will take seven and a half hours for Mercury to completely cross the sun's face, so there will be plenty of time for West Coast viewers to witness this event. See the transit map to learn when and where the transit will be visible.
Don't have access to a telescope, binoculars or a solar filter? Visit the Night Sky Network website for the location of events near you where amateur astronomers will have viewing opportunities available.
NASA also will stream a live program on NASA TV and the agency's Facebook page from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. PDT (10:30 to 11:30 a.m. EDT) -- an informal roundtable during which experts representing planetary, heliophysics and astrophysics will discuss the science behind the Mercury transit. Viewers can ask questions via Facebook and Twitter using #AskNASA.
Teach It
Here are two ways to turn the transit of Mercury into a lesson for students.
Exploring Exoplanets with Kepler - Students use math concepts related to transits to discover real-world data about Mercury, Venus and planets outside our solar system.
Pi in the Sky 3 - Try the "Sun Screen" problem on this illustrated math problem set that has students calculate the percentage drop in sunlight reaching Earth when Mercury transits.

ACCIONA Energy has four wind farms in service in Australia with a total capacity of 434.5 MW. The biggest is Waubra (192 MW), equipped with ACCIONA Windpower turbines. In June 2018, the company grid-connected its last wind farm, the 132-MW Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm, in Victoria, where is currently building the Mortlake South Wind Farm, with 157.5 MW, which is expected to enter service during the second half of 2020. Additionally, ACCIONA Energía built the Royalla photovoltaic plant (24 MWp) for FRV in 2014. It was the biggest in the country at the time, and is located near Canberra (TCA).
Visit the ACCIONA web site in Australia for further information about our activities in the country.
The Waubra wind farm entered service in 2009. Located in Victoria, it was the biggest in the world at the time with 192 MW and represented a milestone in wind power development in Australia. It consists of 128 wind turbines of ACCIONA Windpower technology (1.5 MW each), represented an investment of 450 Australian dollars and generates clean energy per year equivalent to the electricity consumption of around 110,000 homes. This avoids the emission of 650,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. The facility is 100% owned by ACCIONA.
ACCIONA Energy completed construction work on the 46.5 MW Gunning wind farm in 2011. Located in New South Wales, it is 100% owned by ACCIONA and consists of 31 ACCIONA Windpower turbines. It was opened on July 20th 2012 in the presence of Julia Gillard, Australian Premier at the time. It produces electricity equivalent to the annual consumption of around 23,500 Australian homes, with an associated reduction in emissions of 162,750 metric tons of CO2. It represented an investment of 147 million Australian dollars.
Grid connected en 2007, it was ACCIONA Energía's first wind farm in Australia. Developed in a joint venture with EnergyAustralia, it has 32 turbines with a total capacity of 64 MW. It is located on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, and produces electricity equivalent to the consumption of around 35,000 homes, avoiding the emission of around 150,000 metric tons of CO2 per year.
In service since June 2018, Mt Gellibrand Wind Farm will generate enough energy to power more than 60,000 households, while avoiding the emission of around 200,000 metric tons of CO2 to the atmosphere from coal-fired power stations every year. It is located 65km west of Geelong, in Victoria.
With the start-up planned by 2020, ACCIONA is currently building the Mortlake South park in Victoria, a 175.5 MW facility equipped with 35 Nordex turbines of 4.5 MW unit power.
Built by ACCIONA Energy under an EPC contract for FRV, the Royalla plant was the biggest in Australia when it was grid connected in 2014, with a nominal capacity of 20 MW and a peak capacity of 24 MWp. Located near the country's capital Canberra, it has more than 82,000 solar panels installed on 41 kilometers of fixed structures to generate electricity for around 4,500 homes.

Manifold Garden shaping up at last
By:Omar Okic - Telxvi
Published: 10:18, 22 May 2017
William Chyr
Manifold Garden
Manifold Garden is entering the last stages of development, almost 5 years after its inception. The game's sole developer William Chyr has now announced that beta testing will commence soon with a full release announcement coming shortly after.
Manifold Garden is a physics bending first-person indie exploration game and has been in development for close to five years now. We previously talked about it a little bit, and it looks like a 2017 release is more than likely.
Today, the game's lone developer William Chyr has revealed some of the most recent work done on the title. He also announced regular monthly development updates and an incoming beta test.
The most recent additions to the game are a new shrinking and enlarging mechanic which should allow the player to experience the world as a singular recursive place.
"I've added a mechanic that I've had planned for about 3 years. You can now shrink down into smaller worlds within the game. Originally, this was to address the problem of players needing to find their way back to earlier worlds. It acts as a fast travel system, but also demonstrates that the universe in the game is recursive and made up of smaller versions of itself", Chyr wrote.

Improvements have been made to the way that Manifold Garden handles water and portals, along with more subtle graphical updates.
It looks like Manifold Garden will be seeing a 2017 release, and should be available for PC and PlayStation 4.

Shortly after signing up for Run Like a Mother, I decided to also sign up for the Ramblin Rose all-womens sprint triathlon that my local YMCA was hosting. They were offering a training class that promised to get me ready for the race day (it was just two weeks after my 5k). I figured that I was already a proficient lap swimmer (I swam laps during some of my pregnancy with Little Fig as well as back in grade school), and I was already going through a 5k program so running 2 miles should be a breeze right? Oh and the bike part? Well riding my bike through my neighborhood has always been fun so easy peasy, right?! I decided to just train for both races concurrently.
I had been really skeptical about signing up for a triathlon, especially one that was so soon. This was just two months away. I had originally looked at the October version of the race a few cities over but my friend convinced me to just do May. She said that it was a race for ALL abilities, and that the training groups that the Y put together were so supportive and would get me more than ready for the race day.
The first day that we met for our training, I dropped Little Fig off at the gym daycare. I was an emotional mess. He was just six weeks old and though he'd eventually go to daycare when I went back to work, I was so anxious about starting him so young. The women in the daycare ensured me that he would be fine, and answered my dozen questions about how he would be cared for while I was gone. I headed off to training intro meeting.
I arrived in what looked like a support group. There was a circle of chairs with a couple of 'leaders' and an eclectic group of ladies that would be doing the race and training with me. I would be spending two days a week with them, two hours each time. The group consisted of four different trainers who would accompany us on our bike rides, run us through swim drills, and coach us during our runs. After listening to everyone introduce themselves, I was happy to hear that I wasn't the only one doing this for the first time. It also made me feel better in knowing that there were ladies of all ages and fitness levels. It gave me hope that I could actually do this. I might have been overly confident.
The first time in the pool, I was fine. Definitely out of shape – again, this was when I was just starting to move around after delivering Little Fig, and I had just started Couch to 5k – but I knew how to swim and could go at a reasonable pace. I wasn't in the 'fastest' lane, but I was in the middle of the pack, which was fine with me.
Running…well, I was doing Couch to 5k so I considered my runs with the group practice and a chance to do my intervals. On one of the runs, another woman joined me and told me to turn off my program and just run until I was tired. I wasn't crazy about the idea, but I did it to humor her since she was keeping me company (and distracted). While I wasn't able to go for long periods of time without stopping to walk, I was able to run longer than I had previously during my interval program, and it was nice to change things up. After that, I just continued to progress through the running program to where I knew I could run the two miles at the end of the race.
And then the bike. The fun part, right?? I have a hybrid bike. It looks like a beach cruiser. It has a bell and (detachable) basket. Not necessarily race material. But it has gears, and I was told that was all I needed. I'd never really used them, but still.
Well, within just a few minutes of being on my bike, I realized, I had no idea what I was doing. I had thankfully decided to stay with the 'beginner' group where we were going to learn the basics of our bikes. The gear on the left side of my handles? Oh, I didn't know that was actually moveable. I was pretty convinced it was decorative. In playing around with all of these new settings, I was happy to learn that my bike could actually change gears, do hills, etc… but unfortunately because it was a hybrid and not necessarily a race bike, it didn't do them well. Climbing steep hills was going to be a challenge.
The next time we had a bike day, I was off to join the rest of the group to do our course. The plan was to do as much of the actual race course as possible (aside from a few bits that we wouldn't see until race day, just because they were busy roads so we couldn't practice on them). I took off on my bike, following the pack. I felt like a kid again as we cruised down the road into the neighborhood that would make up a majority of our course. As soon as we turned that corner and I actually had to keep a constant peddling pace… things changed.
It was rough! I was trying to keep up with everyone but I could barely do it. Then we go to the infamous hill… the steepest one of the race that everyone had been talking about. I slowly made my way up it, falling behind everyone else. About half way to the top, I finally had to get off my bike and walk. I looked up and saw most had made it, with just a couple that were almost there. I was in tears. When I got to the top, I was out of breath, exhausted, and embarrassed. I was convinced that I held everyone up (they insisted that I hadn't) and I was suddenly terrified for race day. How on Earth was I going to do this? Everyone tried to reassure me, but I doubted myself the whole ride back.
From that point on, I dreaded our bike days. But each time we had them, I made a point to get a little bit farther up the hill before having to hop off my bike. I was determined to make it up the hill on race day.
Our training continued for six weeks. We switched between two disciplines each time, and I continued to hate the bike. Little Fig became more and more comfortable at the daycare. I'm pretty sure he adapted to it a lot faster than I did. The ladies at the childcare kept commenting on how hard I had been working for the race prep, and I filled them in on each day's torture session. But I was loving it.
I was getting to know the other ladies and the trainers in my group. We started planning other cross-training workouts and created a mailer list to share our workout schedules. I was also still doing couch to 5k a few times a week, and had been trying to adjust to all of the new activities and aches and pains that came with them. I had a brief stint with runner's knee, but a knee brace and a couple of rest days helped.
Finally, race day arrived. I felt like I had packed for a trip with all of my little knick knacks for my transition station. I laid everything out perfectly and rushed off to pump before the race start. Thankfully, being a race of all women, everyone was generally supportive and understanding. While pumping, another mom camped out in my 'quiet' corner of the main lobby (the only place that had both an outlet and a corner that I could get a tiny bit of privacy in, even though people were streaming past) and tried to nurse her child. We commiserated together, but then it was off to begin.
I ranked myself pretty high in swimming, as you can always let people pass you if you had to, but having to pass someone could be a hassle. After waiting in the line to get in the pool, it was finally my turn. The adrenaline took over and I was off! The swimming portion actually went by so fast, that I don't remember much of it! I only had to let two people pass me, and it was at the very end when I was stuck behind the person in front of me who was going at a pace that was just slow enough that I could tap her toes, but fast enough that I couldn't get around her in time for the finish ladder. I let them go in front but then I was out of the pool and running to the bike. My transition was fast, and soon I was peddling away.
I was alone for most of the bike portion of the race, just passing other cyclists or being by them briefly as we went up steep hills. But the one hill… I beat that one. I pushed my way to the top and was only slightly out of breath. But I did it! I made my goal of not having to hop off my bike once.
By the time I pedaled into the transition station for the final leg of the race, I was exhausted. It was hard to imagine running just the short two miles at this point, but I could see the finish line. I knew my family was cheering me on.
I completed the first mile loop with a sudden burst of speed when I saw my family waiting by the finish. Just one more to go and I would be DONE and I could scoop up my boys. I had just completed my 5k two weeks prior. I could do this! I admit, I had to walk on one of the final inclines. I was just so exhausted. But the thought of that finish line pushed me to where I could run again, and I raced through the finish in tears. Big Fig was so excited to see mommy running and gave me a huge hug. I somehow mustered up the strength to carry him, but I was so exhausted by that point. But it was so nice to be able to say 'I did it' and be greeted with huge hugs from my family.
I'm pretty sure after the race, my first words were 'never again!' But that's never the case. I'm already signed up for this year.

MythBusters Episode 60: Earthquake Machine
Premier Date: August 30, 2006
Nikola Tesla invented a machine that when attached to an object and tuned to vibrate at a certain frequency, can cause an earthquake-like effect on the object it is attached to.
The MythBusters built several variations of Tesla's pneumatic "earthquake machine" using modified jackhammers, as well as a specially designed computer-controlled electromagnetic linear actuator made by Grant. Small scale tests on metal bars were mixed, with the modified tools performing poorly while the more finely-tunable actuator produced significant vibrations in the bar. A scale test with a model of Tesla's lab and miniature motor failed to produce any noticeable result. Finally, a large scale test using an actual bridge was attempted. The MythBusters attached the resonator to the side of a large truss bridge to see whether the entire bridge would be shaken. While the resonator did match the bridge's frequency and produce a vibration noticeable 100 ft away, it was not strong enough to be considered an earthquake. With the combination of the lack of spectacular results and Tesla's tendency to exaggerate his accomplishments at the time of publication, the MythBusters declared the myth busted.
Placing a lava lamp on a stove will cause an explosion that could kill a person.
All lava lamp tests produced violent reactions. The reactions differed depending on the lamp's design. When lava lamps with safety caps exploded, they vented their contents out through the top of the lamp because of the safety cap popping off (as designed). A bottlecapped lava lamp being tested leaked due to a poor seal, and was helped to explode with a spray of cold water (through the thermal stress caused by the cooling effect of the water on the glass). The explosion lodged a piece of glass deep into a ballistics gel dummy planted near the lamp. A jumbo lava lamp exploded with enough force to pierce the dummy with numerous shards of glass. With the combination of the violent explosion, glass shrapnel in the dummy, explicit warning labels, and a recorded incident, the myth was deemed confirmed.
Placing a can of beans on a stove will cause an explosion that could kill a person.
The cans of beans tested exploded with force proportional to the size of the can. Larger cans explode more violently than smaller cans, especially since large cans do not have a weakened pop-open top, but the build team concluded that any can of beans on a stove is potentially lethal.
Placing a can of potted meat on a stove will cause an explosion that could kill a person.
Though the can of potted meat exploded rather violently, the explosion did not have enough force to be deemed lethal.
Placing a large glass jug of milk on a stove will cause an explosion that could kill a person.
The jar of milk exploded violently, though not with a large amount of force. The build team concluded that an exploding jar of milk can be lethal if a person happened to be standing over it.
