As you may have noticed, I changed the name of the blog series from "3 Hour Photo Trips" to "Wonderful Wild World." I'm sure we will continue to take our 3 hour photo trips, but so very often, because of the blessed place we call home, it really is no trip at all – it's literally right outside the back door. In any case, the original idea was to show everyone that you don't have to go to Africa, Australia or some remote island to get amazing shots of amazing wildlife. You can literally step out in your own backyard, take a trip to a local park, or take that trip to Australia, and get some wonderful wildlife shots everywhere. If anyone is willing to pay the way, I'd love to go to Australia and photograph some amazing wildlife from "Down Under", but until then, I'll keep photographing what I can, where I can, and when I can.
Take the above for instance: what a beautiful group of Mallard ducks that made our pond their home for a little while. I love the grouping in the featured photo above, how they just lined up perfectly for a great shot. The three males staggered in perfect formation, and a female guide-on calling cadence as it were.
My second favorite Mallard shot, is the one where I captured two of them with their mouths open, just quacking along and having a great time. This time I was able to get three males and two females in the shot, which is probably why the males are quacking. I'm sure they are trying to get and keep the attention of the females. Hopefully our pond will become a seasonal home for all of these water fowl, and we certainly hope to see some nests and eggs as well, when the time is right.
Over this past weekend, we were taking some pictures of the kids, and Monica saw the Great Blue Heron at the other end of the pond. I didn't have the 500 mm lens with me, as we were taking pictures of people and not wonderful wildlife. By the time I made it back to the house and swapped lenses, he had walked half way around the pond. So I managed to get a shot off from across the pond, but then decided I would walk around the other direction, and meet up with him on the other side. It worked, and I was able to get a couple of really good shots off. However, Herons that are inside parks are somewhat used to people walking around, Heron's that land in the wild – not so much. I got a little too close and when I stepped out from behind a tree, he saw me and immediately leapt into the sky and took off. I was able to get a few in flight shots off, but unfortunately the open side of the pond, the direction he flew, was almost directly into the sun and made him more of a shadow than I would have wanted. I did get one shot off out of the bunch that came out pretty good, and I hope you enjoy.
In any case, it was a great time stalking the Mallards and the Blue Heron. Thanks go out to Monica for seeing the Heron to begin with and letting me know, or I would have missed him for sure.

Q: SAS macro to resolve in proc sql into statement Can anyone help me with the syntax error here.
    Y is dataset which contain some value let's say 1,2,3,4 (Actually it contains many records)
/*This is working fine*/
proc sql;
select count(*) into:m from y;
select x into:a1 - :a4 from y;
quit;
%put &m &a1 &a2 &a3 &a4;

/*When i am trying to create a macro which will have a1 to a4 values, it's giving me error. below is my approach*/

proc sql;
select count(*) into:m from y;
select x into:a1 - :a||trim(left(&m.)) from y;
quit;
%put &m &a1 &a2 &a3 &a4;

Please can someone help me with this, explain me the reason for error.

A: You don't need to tell how many anymore.  SQL will create just enough variables.
data y;
   do x = 1 to 4;
      output;
      end;
   run;
proc sql;
   select count(*) into:m from y;
   select x into:a1- from y;
   quit;
%put &m &a1 &a2 &a3 &a4;

This is valid at least as of 9.3.

A: The syntax error is probably caused by not understanding how the macro processor works.  It is just a tool for generating text.  The generated text needs to be valid SAS code for it to execute.  So trying to write something like:
into :a1 - :a||trim(left(&m.))

will not work.  The only macro trigger there is the reference to the M macro variable.  So that would evaluate to:
into :a1 - :a||trim(left(   4))

but the INTO operator just wants the name of the upperbound for the macro variable name list there.  It cannot handle the || concatenation operator or call functions like TRIM() or LEFT().
Fortunately you do not need these since the INTO clause of PROC SQL is smart enough to only generate as many macro variables as you need.  If you are using a current version of SAS you can leave the upperbound empty.
into :a1 -

or if you are running an old version you just use an upperbound that is larger than any expected number of observations.
into :a1-:a999999

Also you do not need to run the query twice to find out how many records SQL found.  It will set the count into the automatic macro variable SQLOBS.  So your query becomes:
proc sql noprint;
  select x into :a1- from y;
%let m=&sqlobs;
quit;

A: While DN is correct in the other answer that you really don't have to bother with this anymore, I thought it useful to show you the error in your attempt - which was not an unreasonable approach.
You can't use trim the way you did.  That's going to operate on character expressions, not on program code - which a macro variable is producing (program code).  You've got a few options for how to do this.
First, there is the %trim autocall macro.  That's how you'd do what you were trying to do directly.
proc sql;
select count(*) into :ccount trimmed from sashelp.class;
select name into :a1 - :a%trim(&ccount.) from sashelp.class;
quit;
%put &ccount &a1 &a2 &a3 &a4;

Second, SQL will actually do this for you, in two possible options.

*

*trimmed keyword

*separated by
The trimmed keyword as part of the into clause, or using separated by even when there's only one resulting value, will cause a trimmed result (so, left-aligned with no spaces following or preceding) to be stored in the destination macrovariable.  (Why the defaults are different for separated by vs. not is one of the weird things in SAS related to not breaking code that works, even when it's a silly result.)
proc sql;
select count(*) into :ccount trimmed from sashelp.class;
select name into :a1 - :a&ccount. from sashelp.class;
quit;
%put &ccount &a1 &a2 &a3 &a4;

Army-run hotels may be discontinued
24th February 2015 Karu LATEST UPDATES, SPECIAL NEWS, SRI LANKA NEWS, Uncategorized 0
Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe is unlikely to allow the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) continue its hospitality service running hotels enticing tourists, the government said on Friday.
Sports and Tourism Minister Navin Dissanayaka told the Business Times that the PM was "not into the army doing business." He noted that in terms of an economic model it would not hold well for the SLA to be engaged in business activities.
Currently, the SLA is involved in running a number of hotels under the Laya chain of hotels with Laya Beach in Wadduwa, Laya Leisure in Kalutara, Laya Safari in Yala and Laya Waves, set to open soon, in Kalkudah.
Commenting on the operations of Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) Helitours however, Mr. Dissanayaka said "as long as Helitours is not using unethical practices to use market share" they could continue their operations. He also pointed out that there were allegations against Helitours carrying out operations through unethical practices.
Competing against six other local carriers, the SLAF operations could not just be closed down at once, according to the minister. He noted, "You can't just close that" and later when pressed on how this operation was not deemed a commercial operation compared to the SLA run hotels, he replied "I have no answers for that".
Asked about the Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) currently involved in the whale watching business, the minister believed this operation should continue. The SLN currently is involved in whale watching cruises from Galle and Trincomalee aboard the "Princess of Lanka" passenger craft.

United Airlines Delays Return To JFK… Again!
United Airlines has just delayed its highly anticipated return to New York JFK for a second time in just a few weeks. This follows the airline cutting service to the airport in October 2015.
United Airlines' updated JFK plans
I'm not surprised, but also am…
In September 2020, United announced it would return to JFK in early 2021. In mid-November 2020, the details of that were announced — as of February 1, 2021, the airline intended to launch twice daily flights from JFK to both LAX and SFO using Boeing 767-300s.
Well, United Airlines has now delayed its New York JFK launch for a second time:
In mid-January United announced it would launch JFK flights as of February 28, rather than February 1
Now United has announced that it will launch JFK flights as of March 28, 2021, so that represents a further one month delay
While United was initially going to offer 14x weekly flights in each market, the airline will instead initially offer 5x weekly flights
In an internal memo, the company emphasizes that it's still very much committed to returning to JFK, and that this delay is due to travel restrictions and the continued impact of COVID-19 on customer demand.
United claims to have been "a leader in nimbly reshaping" its schedule during the pandemic, and looks forward to "offering this convenient service and a best-in-class product from New York City to the West Coast in the coming weeks."
When United revealed it would reduce its JFK schedule from 14x to 5x weekly flights, it referred to this as a "slightly smaller schedule," which seems like a bit of a stretch.
United will fly premium 767-300s out of JFK
It's an incredibly challenging time in the industry, and airlines in general have done an amazing job quickly adapting their schedules to reflect market conditions. When United announced it was returning to JFK on such short notice, I figured the airline had determined that cargo would be a big source of revenue on the route, and the economics would work out okay even with limited passenger demand.
But based on the two latest announcements, it seems that's not the case. I can't help but wonder:
What was United seeing that the rest of us weren't in mid-November, that made the airline believe there would be short-term demand for more service between New York and the West Coast?
While I can appreciate the airline pushing back its schedule, how does United hope to capture any portion of the market with not-even-daily service, when competitors are offering multiple daily frequencies?
To me this clearly points at United having made the announcement simply in order to secure gate space and get everything in order, with plans to then push back service a few times. This is the second service delay, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's not the last. Then again, hopefully by spring there will be some significant traffic between these markets once again as vaccines continue to roll out, and cases continue to decline.
United will offer premium economy on its JFK flights
United Airlines is pushing back its JFK return to March 28, 2021. The airline was initially supposed to return to JFK as of February 1, and then that was delayed to February 28. Furthermore, when United relaunches flights, we can expect 5x weekly flights rather than 14x weekly flights, at least initially.
I'm not surprised to see the lack of demand for these routes right now. I'm just surprised they were announced with such short notice to begin with. But I guess this was all about securing gates and slots at JFK, with plans to push the schedule back.
Are you surprised to see United delaying its return to JFK again?

What terminal would they even use lol.
Milrs Ahead New Member
- cargo potential? Maybe
-- feeder for Star Alliance? For sure but not now!
- secure coveted JFK gates for now and the future?... absolutely!
- care/concern about the few passengers who booked flights on this route that were later cancelled?? ... dream on
David Guest
Can't they use those battery powered air taxis to shuttle passengers from JFK to EWR?0
United believed it needed to return to a market it should have never left and now has to claw its way back into a market where other carriers are in a much stronger position.
Since Delta is operating 5 767 flights/day each way on this route, there obviously is some demand.
Shoot, I was just about to book a JFK-LAX flight. Polaris was super empty.
I guess I will just have to shlep to EWR.
sharon Guest
Why don't they just push it back to June at this point?
Why frustrate the few customers who have booked it now?
We might see passenger levels resume to (some) normalcy like 1M people per day, so what is United's rush?
Their financial results will certainly not be helped by this route
There's literally no demand.

Fascinated by the problem of designing warnings for people 10,000 years in the future, New Hampshire Institute of Art's Type 1 class has joined forces with Bricobio and The Raycat Solution to help insert Raycats into the cultural vocabulary. While Bricobio works towards genetically altering cats so they change color when in the presence of radioactive material, the NHIA Type 1 class is working to insert the idea that if a cat changes color, that space might be dangerous to others.

Victory for Women! Global Gag Rule Repealed
By Feminist Majority on January 23rd, 2009
The Feminist Majority applauds President Barack Obama for issuing an executive order today that repeals the Global Gag Rule. President Obama's expeditious action on behalf of women worldwide will save the lives, health, and suffering of literally millions of women worldwide yearly.
"Barack Obama, with the stroke of a pen, is now saving the lives and health of countless women and girls around the world. President Obama is keeping his pledge to women and I believe this is only the beginning," said Feminist Majority President Eleanor Smeal.
The Global Gag Rule prohibited family planning programs in other nations that receive US aid from using non-US monies for abortion counseling, advocacy, and referrals. The rule was instituted by President Reagan in 1984, was repealed by President Clinton, and was reinstituted by President George W. Bush.
The Global Gag Rule inhibited women worldwide from access to gynecological exams, AIDS prevention and treatment, and contraceptive options. It also halted shipment of condoms and contraceptives to more than 20 countries. In part because of restricted access to reproductive health services, more than 70,000 women annually die from unsafe abortions worldwide.
The Feminist Majority, founded in 1987, works for women's equality and to enhance feminist participation in public policy nationwide and worldwide.

Rob Pelinka hints that Lakers could make another trade before deadline

Report: Jeanie Buss was 'reluctant' to give up Russell Westbrook for Buddy Hield and Myles Turner when they were close to a deal

Despite talk of Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook being traded to the Indiana Pacers, owner Jeanie Buss was reportedly reluctant to deal away the veteran last summer.
Sam Amick of The Athletic looked into how that reluctance by Buss played a role in Westbrook staying with the Lakers, where he's now being used as a key reserve.
"Westbrook may not be thrilled with the role, but his improved play and intensity speak volumes about his willingness to accept the reality that it's the right move for this team," Amick wrote. "This is why Lakers owner Jeanie Buss was known to be reluctant to give up on Westbrook in those days leading into training camp, when they came so close to doing the well-chronicled deal with Indiana that would have sent Westbrook to the Pacers in exchange for big man Myles Turner and sharpshooter Buddy Hield."
The solid performance being delivered by Westbrook is seen as one reason why the Lakers may ultimately hold onto the veteran. Another factor could also be the Lakers' reported aversion to include future high draft picks to help move him.
For the season, Westbrook has seen action in 26 contests, starting the first three games of the regular season before being shifted to come off the bench. In those games, Westbrook is averaging 14.7 points, 7.5 assists and 5.9 rebounds per contest.
Those numbers pale in comparison to when Westbrook averaged triple-doubles for seasons during his peak years. They also are certainly lower than what the Lakers were expecting when they acquired him in a blockbuster deal in 2021.
At the time of that trade, Westbrook's addition to a lineup that already had LeBron James and Anthony Davis was seen as a potential game-changer in the Lakers' championship hopes.
Instead, Westbrook's inability to establish on-court chemistry and injuries to both Davis and James turned a potential championship run into a disastrous season in which the Lakers missed the playoffs entirely.
Those struggles by Westbrook resulted in the Lakers looking at trading him during the course of the 2021-22 season. Such efforts came up short, though the Lakers continued to seek a trading partner during the subsequent offseason.
The trade discussions with Indiana for Hield and Turner were serious enough that trade proposals were exchanged but ultimately came to an end, with Westbrook still in a Lakers uniform.
Westbrook turned 34 last month and is in the final season of a lucrative deal that's paying him $47.1 million for the 2022-23 campaign. Whether the Lakers choose to re-sign him after this season is uncertain, though the price tag will definitely be much lower.
For now, Westbrook and the Lakers will continue to try to bounce back from their 2-10 start to the season. They next take the court on Friday night, when they host the Denver Nuggets.

Another 8 Uses of RFID
Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) is pretty amazing. Although the location-tracking tags that integrate with inventory software have been around for decades, new applications continue to appear as the technology becomes more affordable.
E-commerce growth and the Internet of Things (IoT) have only intensified the demand to digitize and track real-world objects. Among the unexpected and innovative past uses of RFID have been robbery-proof casino chips, loss-resistant golf balls and smart fitting rooms—all thriving, thanks to RFID. Those cool innovations have inspired this list of eight more exciting takes on RFID for 2018 and beyond:
1. RETAIL DREAM SCENARIO: 100 PERCENT INVENTORY COVERAGE
Okay, so I'm cheating a bit with this first one; it's not a surprising use case, but it is remarkable. Macy's has added RFID tags to more than half of its inventory and plans to achieve 100 percent coverage by the end of 2018. While obviously not a new use case, from a retailer perspective it's exactly what RFID was meant for, so its importance can hardly be understated.
Retailers live and die by matching their inventory supply to demand, and the better data they have to stock levels, the better they can meet demand. With the cost of an RFID chip going from $1 in 2003 to about 10 cents today, it's easier than ever for retailers to take advantage of the benefits.
The results are already clear, according to Bill Connell, the company's senior VP of transportation. "With an increase in the inventory accuracy, out-of-stocks are significantly reduced," he told Forbes.com. "And by cutting the out-of-stocks, item availability is increased, which can lead to substantial and measurable sales increases." The company's "Pick to the Last Unit" program also combines inventory-management software with RFID tracking to boost sales of low-stock items.
2. CONSTRUCTION SITES: SMART BELTS TO INCREASE WORKER SAFETY
Large construction sites can be complex hives of activity where there's simply no way to keep track of employees using conventional methods. That's where RFID comes in.
Spot-r by Triax is a simple RFID tracking device that clips to workers' belts and helps to ensure that managers can contact them when needed. It also integrates with construction-management software, like Procore. The device registers if a worker slips or falls, alerting safety managers who can make sure aid arrives quickly. Workers can also use the devices to notify managers of any safety issues they might encounter.
3. AIRLINES: CUSTOMER VISIBLE REAL-TIME LUGGAGE LOCATIONS
Air travelers don't soon forget the nightmare of lost baggage and the bureaucratic headaches that often ensue. Now, RFID is putting their minds at ease. Since 2016, Delta Air Lines fliers who check bags have received mobile notifications as their bags are loaded onto and off of airplanes and when they reach carousels for pickup.
By embedding RFID chips in each luggage tag, Delta has achieved an eye-popping 99.9 percent tracking success rate, according to the company. "In the same way that customers want information at their fingertips about flight changes, we know our customers want clear visibility to their checked bags," said Tim Mapes, Delta's chief marketing officer.
4. SUPPLY CHAIN: AN RFID-INTEGRATED CRYPTOCURRENCY
Yes, it's another blockchain and cryptocurrency idea. This one has an interesting angle though, and might have legs. Named after Charlie Walton, the inventor of RFID technology, Waltonchain combines RFID with the same blockchain technology that powers the secure exchange of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to make connected devices much safer to use.
"By attaching RFID chips to real-world objects, it gives them a unique digital identity which is then stored in immutable ledgers on blockchains," cryptocurrency expert Alex Saunders explained on YouTube. "What this is going to do is streamline inventory management and logistics, and by using that blockchain encryption it's going to make it far more secure than traditional Internet of Things models."
With Waltonchain, businesses and consumers can have access to a trustworthy and traceable history for each individual item's history. This opens up a ton of possibilities. New suppliers and retailers can work together without requiring trust to be formed in advance. Concerned consumers could, for example, self-verify that there is, in fact, no horse meat in their beef.
5. WAREHOUSING: LED GUIDED ORDER PICKING
An online click would never result in a package delivered to your door without the efforts of vast ranks of pickers, who help gather items and package them for shipment at distribution warehouses worldwide. Now, RFID and LED guided picking systems ("pick to light") are helping pickers find items faster, reducing errors in the process. RFID systems are real-time location-aware of both the picker and items on the pack list. Using that information, WMS software can toggle LEDs for aisle and bins—literally lighting the way for pickers.
6. HOSPITALS: TAKE-ONE-LEAVE-ONE SYSTEM FOR STAFF SCRUBS
Health-care costs may keep going up, but thanks to RFID, hospitals are spending less on scrubs. One success story is the LewisGale Medical Center, located in Salem, Va. The hospital managed to save $40,000 on scrubs within less than two years. It's all thanks to the CabiNet RFID Scrub Dispenser, a device that distributes and monitors the medical-procedure uniforms. The system reduces the tendency of staff members to treat scrubs as disposable, making sure the garments are returned for cleaning following each shift.
7. RETAIL: CASHIER-LESS, CHECKOUT-FREE STORES
While experts have long predicted that RFID tags would lead to stores without checkout lines, this long-rumored future has been slow to materialize. Recently, Amazon has filed patents for RFID-enabled stores, but has denied that RFID is involved in its new checkout-free Amazon Go grocery store. Now, Chinese retailer JD.com is taking strides of its own toward the unmanned store of the future, and RFID is definitely involved. Together with facial-recognition technology, RFID could allow no-wait checkout and personalized in-store offers. As JD.com ramps up its competition with fellow Chinese retailer Alibaba, RFID could find additional ingenious uses.
8. CHILD SAFETY: A LANYARD FOR INEXPENSIVE AND BATTERYLESS ALTERNATIVE TO GPS
Most parents know the feeling of brief panic that sets in when a child has wandered out of sight. Now, imagine that scene in a moving crowd of 40 or 50 million people—the scene each year during a holy Hindu pilgrimage in southern India. This year, Vodafone India and police authorities are partnering on RFID technology that helps track children under age 14 as they participate in the ritual.
A child wears a lanyard holding a card embedded with an RFID tag. Stationary tag readers along the pilgrimage trail record when each child passes by, then sends a message to a parent's phone to inform him or her of that child's location. If a child becomes lost during the journey, a police officer can use a handheld reader to scan the card and contact the parents to reunite the family quickly, saving time and giving parents' peace of mind. The service is provided free of charge.

Why am I being disconnected unexpectedly from your system?
Why does my modem connect at a speed lower than its highest speed (24k, 26.4k, etc.)?
My computer shows that I'm connecting at 57600 or 115200. Is that true?
Why am I unable to connect to your system?
Noise on the line has caused the customer's modem to disconnect. A call waiting tone, an individual picking up an extension, thunderclaps, static or crosstalk can all cause a modem to be unable to hold a connection.
Cheaper modems (especially the Lucent or LT Winmodem and HSP56 Micromodem) are more apt to disconnect frequently than more expensive modems such as US Robotics.
If the problem seems to be happening ONLY when you're using your Outlook Express e-mail, there is a setting in Outlook causing this. After opening Outlook, click Tools, click Options. A new window will pop up, then click the Connections tab. Ensure that the "Hang up after sending and receiving" box is NOT checked.
You may have some other incorrect setting on your machine that will cause you to be disconnected frequently. Please contact us for further technical support.
Why does my modem connect at a speed lower than its highest speed?
The term "56k modem" is a bit misleading: what would be a more appropriate description for a modem would be "up to 56 kbps". The maximum speed of your phone line is a combination of many factors: the quality of the wiring of the phone connection, the distance between you and your phone company's CO (central office), the kind of switching equipment your phone company has you connected to, and the way the phone company is routing your call. When all is said and done, there are few areas that will get consistant 53kbps connections (the maximum allowed by the FCC). Something you can try is connecting to the different access numbers in your area (if any). The different numbers are configured to work better with certain modems than others, so you may notice a performance difference by doing so.
The CONNECT message that your modem reports can be one of two things. The first, known as the DCE ('Data Communicating Equipment') speed, reports the actual connection speed between the two modems across the phone lines: the maximum speed available with current modem technology is V.90, which can connect over normal phone lines at a maximum of 53000bps. However, your modem could instead be reporting the DTE ('terminal equipment') speed, the speed at which your computer is sending information to your modem. The DTE speed can be 19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200 on most machines.
Make sure that your username and password are entered properly.
Try connecting to a different access number in your area. The different numbers are configured to work better with certain modems than others, so you may notice a difference.

The purpose of this 3 hour ethics workshop is to help you identify the four major areas of your practice that have the most potential for damaging your practice, learn how to defend yourself, and what it is going to take to secure a strong business protocol and stay in full compliance. Kathleen Mills will present an overview of the mandatory compliance areas your licensing board assumes you are doing and why your clients expect this from you, and the business you run.
Come prepared to take a lot of notes for this morning session. Kathleen offers detailed and never-ending information about the foundational ethics and compliance programs you need to have in place.
You'll be very surprised what you've not been told!
To kick off the morning, Kathleen will address the first (2) cornerstones that make up the foundation of both your ethics policies and business defense plans.
Lax enforcement by the Feds is quickly changing. (1) infraction can ruin your practice financially.
Businesses are hacked daily and hackers are looking for easy targets. To them, it's just a game.
You are required by Federal law to have protocols in place to prevent data breach issues. Do you?
PCI Compliance governs your electronic financial transactions. It is your patient information confidentiality program. Don't leave this to your provider! Can you say, "Russian hackers"?
We'll walk a single complaint through the entire process.
Then, we'll discuss what the Sunset Commission and how it affects you and your practice, and the overall handling of the complaint process. We'll review and discuss a comparison stat-sheet of the differences between DSHS, TDLR, and Independent Entity Licensing Boards so you can make an informed decision about what you think needs to happen.
This is a highly stressful event. Plan ahead so that in the event you receive, "the letter", you'll feel confident about dealing with the situation.
In this 3rd hour, Kathleen will thoroughly examine the fourth cornerstone of your practice's defensive fortification, liability insurance coverage. This is an area frought with public misconceptions, bad advice, and endless opinions.
No one wants to talk about, much less study, their insurance policy/coverage but the time to do it is before you need it. Don't miss this.

Bandwagon, the local video series featuring intimate performances from excellent bands, continues its seventh season with a performance of "Parade" by My Son the Hurricane.
My Son the Hurricane are a "14 piece brass-fuelled funk and dance beast." Hailing from Toronto and the Niagara region, this unweildly orchestra, including a beefy brass section, mixes New Orleans-style grooves with funk, jazz, and hip hop—along with bucketfuls of charisma and manic energy.
Their wild performances have made them perennial festival favourites, including at our local Peterborough Folk Festival. They were one of the most talked-about acts at the 2016 festival, so much so that they were invited back for Folk Fest 2017, then played a Folk Fest-presented show at the Red Dog last November, and played the Peterborough Winter Folk Festival at the Red Dog earlier this month.

Lamb is my favourite meat to roast. Usually I do it au-natural, but this time I decided to make it a little more special. The pear seemed to give the meat a beautiful sweetness and the celery pesto was a perfect touch. Everyone gave it the thumbs up.
I served it with roasted potatoes, beans and my husband and I had sweet potato too. This was the first time I used my roasting tray with a rack in it. I was worried that the meat would have been dry, but it wasn't and the amines level I am hoping may have been slightly less since the meat and vegetables were not sitting in the meat juices during cooking.
Prepare roast by removing any excess fat. Slice long slits along the top of the meat about 2 cm apart. Place a slice of pear into each slit. Spray roasting tray grill with spray oil and place the roast on top.
Place all ingredients in the Thermomix bowl and chop on speed 7 for 5 seconds, stir with spatula to push the leaves down and chop for another 5 seconds.
Spoon a thick coating of the celery pesto all over the top of the roast.
Cook in the oven on a roasting tray for 1 1/2 – 2 hours, or until cooked.
If necessary place a piece of alfoil over the top of the meat if coating is burning too quickly.
Serve with your favourite roasted vegetables.
Notes: I was going to halve the pesto recipe be decided to keep these quantities as you can freeze the Pesto or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Covering with a thin layer of oil will help it to keep for about 5 days. There are lots of other recipes you make with it, stir through philly cheese for a dip or toss through cooked pasta. Stay tuned, I have more recipes coming using the Celery Pesto!
If you do not have a Thermomix, you could try making the pesto in a blender or food processor.

Cornell Law Cosponsors Groundbreaking Conference in China on Feminist Legal Theory
By Cornell Law School Staff June 24, 2014
On the weekend of May 15-17, legal scholars from the United States, China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan converged on Fundan Law School in Shanghai for the Conference on Feminist Legal Theory in the United States and Asia: a Dialogue. The groundbreaking conference was co-sponsored by Cornell Law School, under the auspices of the Dorothea S. Clarke Program in Feminist Jurisprudence.
The conference's first day of panels, billed as "An Introduction to Legal Feminism in the U.S. and Asia," covered a diverse array of topics, from overviews of feminist legal theory in China and Japan and gender law in Korea, to perspectives on such strains of feminist legal theory as socialist feminism, lesbian feminism, and critical race feminism.
"The legal scholars from the United States were all law professors who had played an important role in the development of feminist legal theory in the United States, a field that is less developed in Asia," says Cynthia Grant Bowman, Dorothea S. Clarke Professor of Law. "Participants from other countries made presentations about developments in gender law there, such as the development of sexual harassment law in Japan."
"What Does Feminist Jurisprudence Add to the Study of Law Beyond Legal Theory?" was the theme of the conference's second day. Panels addressed tort, criminal, constitutional, international, family, and sexual harassment law, as well as reproductive and socio-economic rights.
"It was exciting to see the interactions among the participants at the conference, with some being introduced to new ideas and others reevaluating their own theories in light of the different international contexts," says Bowman. "Without exception, all the participants appeared to have both enjoyed the experience and to have been enriched by it. I just received a letter from one American scholar saying, 'I benefited vastly from the experience. It helped me more clearly 'see' U.S. feminist jurisprudence through others' perspectives and to understand some of the potential for feminist jurisprudence in other societies.' Students from the host law school, Fudan, also participated and peppered the panelists with insightful questions at every opportunity."
Bowman adds, "This conference was acknowledged by everyone as a great success. It was really the first of its kind in China, and I hope it will bear fruit in numerous ways — by introducing the field as one worthy of academic study, by connecting individual scholars from different countries, and ultimately perhaps contributing to improvement in the status of women in all of them."

Monday Morning Rays Wrap Up: Welcome Back Mr. Longoria
By Steve Kinsella Updated May 2, 2011, 12:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Monday Morning Rays Wrap Up: Welcome Back Mr. Longoria
The Rays have survived the month of April. They have successfully overcome their 1-8 start, the oblique injury to Evan Longoria, the Manny Ramirez debacle, the sluggish offense, and the uncertainty of the new bullpen. Although it is a great accomplishment to roar back to have a winning record by the end of April, the Rays season will not be defined by clearing the hurdle of the aforementioned obstacles, they will be defined by being a contender late into the season and hopefully being a post-season candidate again. Currently the Rays offense ranks 10th in the AL with a .239 batting average, 12th with a .300 on base percentage, and 7th with a .391 slugging percentage. On a more positive note, the offense ranks 6th in the AL in runs per game at 4.26 and a very respectable +15 in run differential (120 run scored - 105 runs against). The offense will receive a big boost with the return of Evan Longoria from the disabled list on Tuesday. Not only will the offense receive a much needed middle of the order bat, the pitching staff will benefit from having his glove back at third base.
The Rays finished another successful week by posting a 4-2 record including a sweep over an undermanned Minnesota Twins team. Unfortunately, the Rays week ended on a sour note by losing two out of three to the LA Angels including a game started by David Price and a 5-0 lead wasted by Alex Cobb making his first debut. The series lost to the Angels broke a string of five straight series wins.
Notes from the Weeks Games:
Several Rays had outstanding weeks entering Sunday's games: Ben Zobrist (.476/.478/1.048), Matt Joyce (.438/.500/.875), B.J. Upton (.316/.435/.526), and Casey Kotchman (.412/.412/.647).
Several Rays had not-so-productive weeks entering Sunday's games: Sam Fuld (.053/.250/.105), Reid Brignac (.143/200/.143), and Felipe Lopez (.182/.250/.182).
The Rays will most likely bring up a reliever on Tuesday to replace Alex Cobb and a corresponding roster move will have to be made when Evan Longoria is activated. The roster move when Longoria comes back has been well debated and it appears to come down to Felipe Lopez or Elliot Johnson, but could also involve Dan Johnson being sent to the 15-day DL as he has been battling a wrist problem.
The pitching staff continued to be the focal point of the Rays. After a down 2010 season, James Shields continues to pitch like the ACE of the pitching staff and along with David Price give the Rays a nice 1-2 punch at the top of the rotation.
Kyle Farnsworth has pitched very well in the closer's role and the rest of the bullpen has performed, but the future addition of J.P. Howell will only strengthen it.
Which reliever will be called up on Tuesday to replace Alex Cobb?
Sam Fuld has struggled recently. Will Joe Maddon continue to put him in the leadoff spot? Or will we see a return to the alternating leadoff man which will include Fuld against righties and B.J. Upton against left handed pitchers?
Will Matt Joyce get a chance to play everyday and prove that he can or can't hit left handed pitching.
Will Casey Kotchman continue to get most of the starts at 1B or will Dan Johnson (if not on the DL) begin to see more time in order to try and get his bat going?
Who will be the first position player to be called up from Durham and who will be the odd man out in Tampa? When is the earliest we could see a non-injury move to the roster?
After an impressive 2-0 complete game victory by James Shields over the Toronto Blue Jays last Sunday, the Rays traveled to Minneapolis for a three game series against the Twins. The Rays had a scheduled off day on Monday and their game Tuesday was snowed/rained out. Even with poor weather in the immediate forecast, the decision was made to play a day night doubleheader on Thursday rather than make the game up on the Rays next trip to Minnesota on July 4th through July 6th when the weather would be considerably better.
On Wednesday, the Rays offense jumped on Twins starter Francisco Liriano with 4 runs in the first inning keyed by a two-RBI triple by Ben Zobrist. The 4 runs were all that Wade Davis would need as he only gave up 1 run in 6.2 innings and Cesar Ramos, Joel Peralta, and Andy Sonnanstine worked a scoreless final 2.2 innings and the Rays won 8-2. Ben Zobrist went 1-4 with a 2-RBI triple and a sacrifice fly giving him 3 RBI on the day, but Zobrist was just getting warmed up.
On Thursday afternoon, the Rays battered Twins starter Nick Blackburn to the tune of 8 runs (7 earned) in 3.1 innings and added 8 more runs on the Twins bullpen on their way to a 15-3 victory. Jeremy Hellickson gave up 3 runs in 6.1 innings and the Rays bullpen was once again sharp in pitching 2.2 scoreless innings.Ben Zobrist led the charge by going 4-6 with a home run, two doubles, and 8 RBIs.
On Thursday night, the Rays faced spot starter Anthony Swarzak and took advantage of him early with 2 runs in the second inning thanks to another home run by Ben Zobrist. Jeff Niemann carried a no-hitter into the 7th inning before giving up his only 2 hits and only run on the day. The bullpen worked the final two innings and the Rays finished the three game sweep over the Twins with a 6-1 victory. The story of the day was Ben Zobrist, between the two games he went 7-10 with 2 HR, 3 doubles, and 10 RBIs.
On Friday, David Price was spotted to a 4-1 lead against the LA Angels after 3 innings but quickly gave the lead back in the top of the fourth. The Rays bullpen was unable to hold the Angels offense down and the Rays bats were unable to regain the lead. The Rays lost the game 8-5.
On Saturday, James Shields gave the Rays another strong outing by working into the ninth in a 1-0 game before giving way to Kyle Farnsworth who gave up the game tying run. The Rays won the game in the bottom of the tenth when Fernando Rodney uncorked a wild pitch allowing Matt Joyce to score the organizations first ever wild-pitch walk off win.
Alex Cobb made his major league debut on Sunday and despite being handed a 5-0 lead after the first inning was unable to get through five innings. Cobb worked 4.1 innings, walking four and striking out three, before leaving with one out and runners at first and third. Andy Sonnanstine immediately walked Ray killer Howie Kendrick to load the bases before giving up a sacrifice fly to Torri Hunter. Another run scored on an errant throw by John Jaso on a stolen base attempt. Alberto Callapso singled in the tying run before being thrown out trying to stretch the single into a double. The Angels scored the winning run on a ground ball to Ben Zobrist who turned an unconventional double play which allowed the go ahead run to score.
The Rays will enter this week with a 15-13 record, 2.5 games behind the New York Yankees. The Rays will have an off day Monday before taking on the Toronto Blue Jays at Tropicana Field Tues through Thursday and heading to Baltimore for a three game series Friday through Sunday. The pitching match-ups for the Blue Jays series are Jo Jo Reyes vs Wade Davis, Brandon Morrow vs Jeremy Hellickson, and Ricky Romero vs Jeff Niemann. The Baltimore series will feature David Price vs Zach Britton, James Shields vs Jeremy Guthrie, and Brad Bergersen vs Wade Davis.
In other AL East action, the Yankees will play a 4 game series in Detroit and a weekend series against the Rangers in Texas. After the Blue Jays are done in Tampa they return home for a weekend series against the Tigers. The Orioles are in Kansas City prior to their series with the Rays. The Red Sox host the LA Angels for 4 games and the Minnesota Twins.
The Rays have won 14 of 18 games and 5 of their last 6 series, is that enough for SF1 to overcome the emotions of a poor weekend performance against the Angels?
Some might be happy with a 4-2 week that saw a sweep of the injury plagued AAA-like Twins, a winning April after a 1-8 start, and within shouting distance in the ALE. I am not.
With our ace on the bump and staked to a 4-1 lead we watched as David Price and the pen turn it into a 8-5 loss. On Sunday we're throwing a sacrificial lamb Alex Cobb in his first MLB start against Jeff Weaver. But as Rays luck would have it, Weaver is scratched and we rough up Tyler Chatwood for a 5-0 lead. Cobb who typical Ray's apologists tweeted had a 'good first start' was awful, giving it all back, and of course we never score again and lose 6-5
The solution for me is three fold. Felipe Lopez (gone) Longo returns Tuesday. John Jaso and Reid Brignac need to be replaced. Sean Rodriguez should become the every day short stop and Jose (Sanchie) Lobaton recalled to take Jaso's spot. You can't have a catcher who is so bad at blocking balls that a pitcher has to change his pitch sequence. Besides neither Jaso or Brignac can hit their hat size./p>


In general, it is best for ntpd to get time packets with the smallest possible latency on the receive timestamp.
Originally, there was no ability to use any of these mechanisms to improve the performance of ntpd. As they became available we added existence checks to configure.ac so we could use these features if they were available.
As OS technology has matured, newer kernels have developed better ways to obtain the receive timestamp, and techniques like memory locking under these kernels have new problems or unexpected consequences or behaviors.
The previous memory locking (for example) interfaces are still provided for backward compatibility, but now there are times where they should no longer be used.
we do not need to use (any of?) these techniques to get better receive timestamps.
Are there any other reasons to use any of these techniques?
Yes, refclocks (other than LOCAL) have no timestamp capability, so prio/mlock is useful for them.
So, if no refclocks (other than LOCAL) are used then there is no need for prio/mlock.
Also, possibly even with refclocks, if kernel stream module used.

A Print Server is a Computer that manages the printers on the network. All data to be printed is passed on to the Printer Server that allocates jobs to the printers on the network.
The print server is a sharing device designed to provide simple and efficient printer sharing. All users on the LAN, regardless of operating system or network protocol, will be able to share the printer(s) connected to the print server. By connecting the printers to a print server instead of a file server or workstation, it can reduce system loading, increase printing performance and allow different network protocols to be used simultaneously.
Network printing is a great way to save money on equipment. Print Serving can be set up to recognize one or several printers on the network for different jobs. It saves the cost of individual printers for each employee and allows work to be sent to the appropriate machine electronically, without having to run from office to office.
Real Time can set up Print Serving on the same machine that runs File Serving duties, but other configurations are possible too.

CHUBA AKPOM scored the opener as England maintained their unbeaten record with a draw against Switzerland.
The Arsenal player netted after the break when he slotted home after a dazzling run from Demarai Gray.
The debutant Leicester winger pirouetted past two defenders and fed Hull loanee Akpom, who finished from close range.
England looked to be heading for victory before a Swiss counter-attack led to Florian Kamberi's equaliser, then Liverpool midfielder Jordon Ibe was sent off in added time for his second yellow card.
It was a delayed reaction from referee Daniel Siebert, who had not realised that the first-half substitute had already been booked in the 56th minute.
The result means Gareth Southgate's side keep their three-point lead in Group Nine with three games remaining.
Switzerland now sit second in the group, one point ahead of Norway who have a game in hand.
The nine group winners qualify automatically for next year's tournament in Poland, along with the four best runners-up.
England return to qualifying in September against Norway, before final group games in Kazakhstan and Bosnia & Herzegovina.


Thanks to ICU's Japanese class, I worked hard and became able to study kanji more quickly. However, the teaching style is still rather different from American schools. One possible downside is that there are very few class discussions. Additionally, not all members of the class really worked very hard on their Japanese, making it difficult to improve together as a class.
Mitaka is a quite little neighborhood of Tokyo with plenty of shops to shop at and small citizens groups in which you can participate. Also, it isn't very far from the heart of Tokyo, it only takes about 40 minutes by bus or train to visit popular destinations like Shinjuku or Kichijoji.
ICU has Japan's best Japanese language school. You will learn characteristics of Japanese culture not only from ICU's neighborhood Mitaka-shi, but also from the classes themselves.

Telling Tommy About – W. Paul Pim
by Dez
Sometimes stories for the History Center blog come from footnotes from research while doing other stories. Our feature story about the 1916 Typhoid Epidemic in the May, 2016 issue of the History Center's Newsletter fits that bill. The City Commissioner who responded to the health crisis that year was John Randoph Hornady (1872-1948) who also lead efforts to fund schools and authored a book in 1921 about Birmingham history to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the founding of Birmingham. "The Story of Birmingham." To illustrate his book, Hornady hired William Paul Pim, a cartoonist with the Birmingham News.
Cartoon Magazine, October, 1917, Page 572.
Pim's story turned out to be as fascinating as the original newsletter article. Born December 1, 1885 in Freeport, Pennsylvania, Pim was the son of Ira Lester Pim and the former Mary Ella Dougherty. He graduated from the Cabot Institute in 1903, and studied photo engraving at Bissell College in Effingham, Illinois until 1906. Pim began his career in Cleveland, Ohio. He came to Birmingham in 1915 and worked as a staff artist for The Birmingham News. While here he met Lenna Hales, who worked in the advertising department. They were married at the Newspaper Club, located on the 24th floor of the Jefferson County Bank Building (City Federal Building) on July 14, 1917.
Fourth Estate (a newspaper for makers of newspapers), July 15, 1922
Pim soon began publishing a popular cartoon known as "Baby Mine," which eventually was syndicated in over 60 newspapers in the Southeast. The single pane cartoon featured a young child who quoted humorous statements from adults, usually "maw" or "pop." One occasion the Birmingham News held a contest offering a prize of one dollar for letters on "What your baby says," and received 800 replies in the span of one week. Pim also began teaching commercial art at Birmingham Southern College. His class was held on Saturdays and featured a one hour lecture followed by a two hour work session in the art laboratory in which students would create cartoons and illustrations.
In the late 1930s, Pim, now known as Paul Pim, began writing and illustrating a series of children's books called the "Telling Tommy" series. They were all published by the Cupples and Leon Company of New York who published juvenile fiction and children's books. The company is mainly remembered today as the major publisher of books collecting comic strips during the early decades of the 20th century such as Mutt and Jeff, Little Orphan Annie and The Katzenjammer Kids. Each children's book published by Cupples and Leon would include an inside back jacket letter to parents assuring them that their books are "fit for children in every way, that the reading material is clean, interesting, inspiring and educational." Running about 100 pages each, Pim eventually published seven "Telling Tommy" books
Telling Tommy About Mother Nature; Curious Children (1939), Telling Tommy About Famous People in Their Youth (1940), Telling Tommy About Days We Celebrate (1941), Telling Tommy About Famous Inventors (1942), Telling Tommy About Our Good Neighbors (1943), Telling Tommy About Things We Use (1946), and Telling Tommy About Pilgrims Progress (1957, published seven years after Pim's death in 1950).
Samuel Morse illustration page – "Telling Tommy About Famous Inventors, p. 49.
In each book, Pim would write a one page introduction to the volume. This would be followed by short easy to read essays about famous people, events, inventions or countries. On the facing page he would produce five or six illustrations, in the style of Ripley's Believe it or Not, which would usually include a portrait, and several action illustrations. In the "Good Neighbors" book, these illustrations would include a map of the country and pictures of local birds or plants.
Pim died in Birmingham on July 26, 1950 and is buried in the Forest Hills Cemetery. Recently the Birmingham History Center acquired six of the "Telling Tommy" books from a private collector. We are looking for his last book "Telling Tommy About Pilgrim's Progress" to complete the set.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place squash, Brussels, apple, and onion in a large baking dish and season with sea salt and pepper. Drizzle with melted coconut oil and stir to combine. Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until veggies are tender and Brussels have started to brown. Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a pan over medium heat (stir to prevent burning). Heat the balsamic vinegar over medium-low heat and simmer until it thickens, forming a glaze. Remove the veggies from the oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with toasted walnuts.

Q: Сложности с реализацией метода для выбора жанра фильма Есть 4 класса которые отражают 4 категории фильмов:
class Films(BaseCategory):
    name = "films"

class Cartoons(BaseCategory):
    name = "cartoons"

class Series(BaseCategory):
    name = "series"

class Animation(BaseCategory):
    name = "animation"

Они наследуются от базового класса:
class BaseCategory:
    name = None
    def __init__(self):
        self._params = None
        self._filter_pattern = None

    def category(self, genre):
        self._params = genre
        return self

    def filter(self, pattern:Filters):
        self._filter_pattern = f"?filter={pattern}"
        return self

    def __str__(self):
        separator = "/"
        return f"{self.name}/" + separator.join([i for i in self.__dict__.values() if i is not None])

У каждой из этих 4 категорий фильмов должен быть свой набор жанров(Фэнтези, Комедии, Боевики и тд). Проблема в том, что у каждой категории набор этих жанров разный, а поскольку я пишу пакет мне необходимо чтобы пользователю было удобно передавать жанр как параметр в методе класса category, в идеале мне необходимо чтобы IDE само подсказывало что необходимо передавать в качестве параметра. Подобная проблема была с фильтрами, но там всё решилось созданием одного небольшого класса Filters:
class Filters:
    LAST = "last"  # Последние поступления
    POPULAR = "popular"  # Популярные
    SOON = "soon"  # В ожидании
    WATCHING = "watching"  # Сейчас смотрят

Это сработало бы и для жанров, однако как я сказал они для каждой категории разные, а значит придётся создавать аж 4 класса подобных друг другу, что как по мне выглядит не очень красиво, да и импортировать при работе для каждой категории фильмов свой класс тоже не очень оптимально. В итоге я стою перед выбором создать несколько частично похожих классов и используя аннотацию типов указывать какой из классов я жду для получения, либо же просто создать в каждом классе категорий фильмов список с возможными аргументами и не заморачиваться с удобством использования. Каждый из этих вариантов мне кажется неудобным и не совсем корректным, поэтому я захотел узнать, как бы такую задачу решали люди, имеющие больше опыта.
P.S. Создание 5 класса с жанрами от которого отнаследуются остальные 4 не совсем поможет т.к. не очень большое количество жанров встречается во всех категориях фильмов.


Can gay US citizens get married in the UK?
You have the option of a Civil Partnership which some gay couples favour.
You can't currently get married in Northern Ireland as gay marriage is not allowed there yet. However, this will change very soon.
What many couples opt for is a quick marriage with a few close friends or family in their own country then a humanist ceremony or a blessing the UK. This significantly reduces the amount of bureaucracy, but some don't like the idea of this.
Of course this is something that we can help you with, if you book a complimentary consultation.
How can I convert my civil partnership?
What Happens during a Lesbian Wedding Ceremony?


At the start of my appointment, Chris asked how I was doing and I said really good. I explained my running over the last three weeks and he was really happy to hear where I am with my pain level.
The Bad: Each visit Chris test my hamstrings and glutes, really yesterday was no different. On the third attempt to test my hamstring I got a MAJOR cramp in my hamstring and I thought I was going to cry. I immediately grab my hamstring and starting laughing/crying…not pretty. He massaged it out a bit but I was in a lot of pain.
After a little heat and electrical currents (not sure what that's called), my cramped hamstring was a little happier but still pissed off and sore. We did a few more easy treatments of massing the hamstring and then came the UGLY.
The Ugly: We went back to cupping and I was super scared this time as I knew what to expect PLUS, I had a cramped up hamstring. He took it easy on me at first and then ramped it up. My IT Band and hamstring area is extremely sore as well just because of every day running that I'm now doing. He wasn't too concerned.
I may have sworn a few times and said a few other words one does when in pain from cupping. Oh, when he does cupping, he puts the "cup" on and then massages my whole hamstring from one end to the other. Yeah, painful! By the end of it my arms and legs were starting to sweat as I was in that much pain!
The Good: I was told to hydrate really well for the rest of the day to help with the cramped muscle and he gave me a specific stretch to do.
I'm still good to keep training for my half marathons this fall and able to do more intense cross training like T25, Jillian Michael's etc. He is happy with my progress and I have to do my PT exercises 3 times a week – no problem boss!
So the good is that I'm getting stronger and the pain is very minimal. I have to work a little more on my glutes but I'm getting there. My flexibility is better on my "injured" leg then my non-injured leg – go figure! I go back in a month's time.
Have you ever had cupping done? Did you cry, swear, yell – or do all three?
How often do you get cramps or charlie-horses in your legs?
My last "injury running recovery" post.
← Don't Tell My Treadmill BUT…….
I've tried a lot of stuff with running injuries but never cupping! I would totally try it if I thought it would fix my problem. Great job rehabbing and taking care of your body!
It's really painful for the few seconds it's on but so worth it and you feel amazing a few days later.
We're from a big swimming family. My daughter swims in college now. PT for swimmers often includes cupping these days, something we didn't have back when I was swimming in the 80's! It looks a little like torture 🙂 Best to you and continued healing!
It is 100% torture but amazing results!!!
I'm glad it helps. I guess it's bringing healing blood flow to the injury?
YAYAYAY for the last line of your post. That makes me SO happy!
Glad you're getting better!! I've never experienced cupping and have no idea what it is, but after reading your description, I'm scared of it! 🙂 I used to get bad charlie horses but now that I'm forcing myself to drink more water they've gotten better.
I've tried cupping – once. Would never do it again. I was bruised up so bad I looked like I'd been in a car crash.
Glad you're getting back to normal 🙂 and Happy Birthday!
Glad to hear that you're getting better! Hopefully soon you'll be completely pain free!
My toes cramp almost immediately when I stop running and then will randomly cramp up after I'm done running until I'm fully hydrated again. It is sooo painful and frustrating. I never really cramp anywhere else, it's so strange!
Cupping is exactly as you described it. Amazing and painful all at once. Nothing is worse than getting a cramp like that! I've been there. I had it happen in a yoga class once and couldn't make it stop. I was so embarrassed!
I've never tried cupping, and I'm scared from all the descriptions I've read from you and other bloggers. Does not sound like fun at all! But I'm glad it seems to be helping. I sometimes get cramps in my hammies if I'm doing bridges, but thankfully not often. They hurt so much!
It sounds like the cupping is helping, as painful as it may be. I've seen it being done and can't imagine. I find that Gatorade is a great way to help me stay hydrated and ward off leg cramping.
Oh man it's painful but has done wonders on my injury!

Schemes boosting cycling and walking accelerate across the UK | Society | The Guardian
Campaigners urge city leaders across the world to see coronavirus and climate crisis as call to actionMatthew TaylorThu 24 Sep 2020 16.39 BSTOne of the first "low-traffic neighbourhoods" to be created in the UK was in Hackney, east London, in the early 1970s, when residential roads were closed to through traffic but remained open to local residents, pedestrians and cyclists.Since then, most of the borough's other residential roads and backstreets have been given over almost completely to cars.But as the coronavirus crisis upended city life, a dramatic shift has been taking place. Across the country there has been a concerted effort to prioritise cycling and walking over driving, widening pavements, closing rat runs and building hundreds of miles of new cycle lanes
