the movie's message
Passepartout (voice of Corey Doran), a book-loving marmoset, dreams of setting off to explore the world, far from his well-intentioned but overprotective mother (voice of Shoshana Sperling). When a sticky-fingered, adventure-loving frog, named Phileas (voice of Rob Tinker), surfs into his life, Passepartout can't believe his luck. When Phileas bets a group of gambling shrimp that he can beat the current record and travel around the world in only 80 days, Passepartout is determined to join him on this epic journey. Phileas, however, has other plans and tries every trick in the book to leave the marmoset behind but Passepartout will not be dissuaded and, despite his mother's dismay, sets off on the adventure of a lifetime. The unlikely pair has company in the form of a corrupt Officer of the law who is determined to capture Phileas, framing him for a crime he didn't commit, and at the same time return Passepartout to his devastated and very angry mother. In addition to trying to beat a record that is far more difficult than they first believed it to be, Phileas and Passepartout must evade their pursuer while braving some of the most forbidding and dangerous terrain imaginable. When it seems that all is lost, a chance encounter with a Frog Princess opens their eyes and helps them see things from a new perspective, one that may help their dreams come true after all.
Themesinfo
Children and adolescents may react adversely at different ages to themes of crime, suicide, drug and alcohol dependence, death, serious illness, family breakdown, death or separation from a parent, animal distress or cruelty to animals, children as victims, natural disasters and racism. Occasionally reviews may also signal themes that some parents may simply wish to know about.
Separation from parents; Family dysfunction and breakdown; The thrill of chasing down someone or something; Bullying, gambling and unethical behaviours.
Use of violenceinfo
Research shows that children are at risk of learning that violence is an acceptable means of conflict resolution when violence is glamourised, performed by an attractive hero, successful, has few real life consequences, is set in a comic context and / or is mostly perpetrated by male characters with female victims, or by one race against another.
Repeated exposure to violent content can reinforce the message that violence is an acceptable means of conflict resolution. Repeated exposure also increases the risks that children will become desensitised to the use of violence in real life or develop an exaggerated view about the prevalence and likelihood of violence in their own world.
There is some violence in this movie, including:
A bank wall is exploded and someone steals all the money.
Passepartout hits Phileas with a fish.
Passepartout and Phileas are attacked by menacing scorpions.
The same scorpions then attack the Officer. She fights back, punching and kicking them until they are restrained and trapped in a sand pile.
Phileas shoves a character down.
Phileas and Passepartout are chased through a town where they fall, fling and fight their way through a tangle of rooftops and ultimately onto a train.
The Officer chains Phileas to her wrist and they fight and struggle on the roof of the train.
Passepartout throws an axe at Phileas and the Officer and manages to cut the shackle and free his friend.
Passepartout and Phileas shove and bite each other as they fall through the jungle.
Passepartout and Phileas come across a hostile tribe of head-hunters who are planning to sacrifice a Princess to appease the gods, by throwing her into a volcano.
Tribal warriors shoot arrows at Phileas and Passepartout.
The Officer crashes into the oncoming tribe, smashing their ranks apart. She later falls off a cliff.
Passepartout, Phileas and the Princess manage to catapult themselves over a lake of flaming lava.
The Officer takes a large bird and uses it to capture Phileas and fly off with him. She later crashes the bird into the ocean.
Under fiveinfo
Children under five are most likely to be frightened by scary visual images, such as monsters, physical transformations.
In addition to the above-mentioned violent scenes, there are some scenes in this movie that could scare or disturb children under the age of five, including the following:
The scorpion characters appear evil and menacing and their threats about killing Passepartout and Phileas may upset some young viewers.
In a creepy, dark jungle, Phileas and Passepartout appear to be very scared. Nothing terrible happens but the shadowy scene and eeriness may disturb some young children.
Aged five to eightinfo
Children aged five to eight will also be frightened by scary visual images and will also be disturbed by depictions of the death of a parent, a child abandoned or separated from parents, children or animals being hurt or threatened and / or natural disasters.
In addition to the above-mentioned violent scenes and scary visual images, there are some scenes in this movie that could scare or disturb children aged five to eight, including the following:
Children in this age group are likely to be scared or disturbed by the above-mentioned scenes and images.
Aged eight to thirteeninfo
Children aged eight to thirteen are most likely to be frightened by realistic threats and dangers, violence or threat of violence and / or stories in which children are hurt or threatened.
Nothing further of concern.
There is some nudity and sexual activity in this movie, including:
In a fantasy scene there are some female frogs wearing bikinis and riding in the back of a convertible.
There is some coarse language in this movie, including:
There is some name calling, including: "liar", "mamma's boy", "weird monkey", "loser", "frog face" and "jerk". Phileas calls Passepartout, "Pass-a-fart-oo".
The phrases: "Frog off!" and "Kiss my axe!" were used in place of the more profane versions, though the meanings were the same.
There were numerous crude comments, mostly referring to butts, such as a butt fur moustache, things that smell like a monkey's butt, and when Passepartout gets sand in his bottom after escaping from a pit of quicksand.
Around the World in 80 Days (2021) is an animated adventure, loosely based on Jules Verne's classic tale of the same name. The film is a European production dubbed in English and, due to the animation, will largely appeal to younger audiences. However, some of the content, including crude humour, name calling, violence and unethical behaviours means that the film is largely inappropriate for its intended age group.
The main messages from this movie are to follow your dreams and to never give up, no matter how impossible or difficult the road may be.
Values in this movie that parents may wish to reinforce with their children include:
Helpfulness.
This movie could also give parents the opportunity to discuss with their children attitudes and behaviours, and their real-life consequences, such as:
Heading off, or sneaking out, without telling a parent where you are going.
Stealing from others.
The consequences of gambling.
The long lasting damage caused by relationship breakdown between parents and children.
Deceiving others.
Bullying someone because they are different and hoping for them to fail.

Surveys can provide feedback from students about their experiences, motivation, or perceptions of learning and give students an opportunity to "weigh in" on their undergraduate experiences. Depending on the program, what feedback is needed/desired from students may vary. Questions may include those about curriculum, faculty, offices and services, social opportunities, and career preparation.
Whole student experience – Many programs want holistic feedback from their students. These surveys include questions about curriculum, learning, advising, student services, and students' future plans, as well as general overall questions. While these surveys can provide programs with a full understanding of their students' experiences in their program, it can be challenging to get adequate response rates.
Curriculum and learning – Surveys can also focus on curriculum and student learning. Questions in these types of surveys emphasize student progress on learning outcomes and perceptions about the set of courses that they took. They can address student perceptions about gaps or redundancies in the curriculum, and ask students about courses that they perceive as being helpful in preparing them for their intended careers. These types of surveys are not meant to replace or duplicate course evaluations. Rather, they allow students to reflect on their curriculum as a whole.
General/Basic – General or basic surveys can be short (1-5 questions). Short exit surveys can be useful for programs, because they can be completed as part of a regularly scheduled meeting (e.g., in class, as part of an advising appointment, etc.). Questions tend to be broad and ask students for feedback on their overall experiences, or future plans (e.g., work or graduate school). Results from these types of surveys may show programs major "red flags," or areas that need further attention. Because of their brevity, they generally do not provide information about specific program initiatives or areas of focus.
Advising and student services – Programs often want to gather information about how advising and student services are working for students. Questions from these types of surveys focus on student satisfaction with these services and can be either broad or specific (i.e., students provide feedback on particular advisors).
ATL works with undergraduate programs to develop and use online surveys, such as senior exit surveys, as part of program assessment. Contact us for more information.
Every two years, WSU participates in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) to help assess senior and first-year student engagement in educational practices associated with high levels of learning and development. First piloted with WSU's 2014 & 2015 NSSE administrations, ATL in collaboration with Institutional Research, worked to disaggregate results by major for undergraduate academic degree programs and colleges, focusing on responses from seniors, to provide information about the student perspective to help continually improve the learning experience for students (contact ATL for more information about these disaggregated NSSE results for academic programs).
In addition, NSSE provides participating institutions with a variety of institution- and campus-level reports. WSU's current and historic institution-wide NSSE results are available on the Institutional Research NSSE survey webpage. Further, questions on the NSSE survey provide indirect evidence of student learning on WSU's Learning Goals of Undergraduate Education to support UCORE Assessment. For more general information about NSSE at WSU, see WSU's NSSE webpage.
A system-wide site license for Qualtrics, WSU's preferred survey tool, is available to all WSU faculty, staff and students, as recommended by a work group convened by the Provost's Office. More information about using Qualtrics at WSU is located at WSU's Surveys website.

"New" "Hedda" at North Coast Rep
A new translation of Ibsen's Hedda Gabler by San Diegan Anne-Charlotte Hanes Harvey (Dinner with Marlene) at least figuratively speaking brings the 125-year-old play into the 21st century. The North Coast Repertory Theatre's production directed by David Ellenstein resembles the Heddas you've probably seen before with their period costumes and opulent furnishings. At NCR, Marty Burnett's set, Elisa Benzoni's costume design and Matt Novotny's lighting are collectively outstanding. In this iteration of Hedda Gabler, the difference is how at times Hedda (Mhari Sandoval) and those in her destructive sphere of influence sound more contemporary, and even get laughs.
In spite of its literary pedigree, Hedda Gabler possesses the pulsating emotions and interpersonal machinations of a cracking good daytime serial, except that everything in its four acts revolves around one central, overriding character: Hedda, a beautiful, aristocratic, larger-than-life neurotic as cold as she is willful. Moving with the easy grace of a pampered cat, Sandoval brings tremendous sex appeal to the role, even though Ibsen's heroine only teases and poses. She's a woman who flinches from actual physical contact. That aloofness is intended especially for her new husband Jorgen Tesman (Bruce Turk), whom she wed neither out of love nor lust. Turk does well as a stammering academic propped up in direct contrast to another man in Hedda's life, the snidely confident Judge Brack (Ray Chambers, tall and leering).
The arrival of always-charismatic Richard Baird as Hedda's tortured ex-lover Eilert Lovborg in Act 2 follows a slow, talky first act. This ominous turn in Ibsen's story, which also involves the young lovestruck (over Lovburg) Thea Elvsted (Mel House) raises the narrative stakes and inspires Hedda to do her damnedest.
Hedda Gabler, even in this world-premiere translation, is a drawing-room kind of drama with few of its contrivances as intriguing as the portrait of complex Hedda herself. Why else do you think so many esteemed actresses of stage and screen (Ingrid Bergman, Diana Rigg, Cate Blanchett, to name three) have played her – and so many others desire to do so?

New Zealand's prime minister vowed Tuesday to give not a single shred — not one second or one syllable — of recognition to the man who attacked two local mosques last week, killing 50 people.
"You will never hear me mention his name," Jacinda Ardern told Parliament in her first address there since the mass shootings on Friday, the deadliest in the country's modern history.
"That quiet Friday afternoon has become our darkest of days," she said.
Among those slain in the shooting was a woman trying to save other people including her husband, who is confined to a wheelchair, according to the woman's nephew.
Husna Ara Parvin, 42, went with her husband to mosque last Friday as she did every Friday, her nephew Mahfuz Chowdhury told The Daily Start of Bangladesh, Husne's country of origin.
According to Chowdhury's account to the paper, Parvin went to the woman's mosque while her husband, Farid Uddin Ahmed, went to the men's mosque. When gunfire erupted in the men's mosque, Parvin rushed to the scene and was fatally shot while Ahmed survived.
Chowdhury said the couple settled in New Zealand sometime after 1994.
Ardern said Tuesday that the suspect, a 28-year-old Australian man accused of murder, will face other charges. "The families of the fallen will have justice," she said.

Глазура је слатка, често кремаста, направљена од шећера са течношћу, попут воде или млека, која је често обогаћена састојцима као што су путер, беланца или кремни сир. Користи се за украшавање пекарских производа, попут колача или кекса.

Глазура може имати различити облик (нпр. цвећа, лишћа) и често се користи као украс за рођенданске и свадбене торте.

Најједноставнија је залеђена глазура, која садржи шећер у праху (такође познат као шећер за глазуру или слаткише) и воду. Она се може обојити, на пример, употребом лимуновог сока, уместо воде. Неке глазуре могу се направити мешавином шећера и крем сира или киселе павлаке, или употребом млевених бадема (као у марципану).

Начин наношења у великој мери зависи од врсте глазуре која се користи. Обично се наноси ножем. Такође, може се користити између слојева у торти као пуњење, или се може користити за потпуно или делимично прекривање спољашње стране торте или другог печеног производа.

Историја
Прекривање колача шећером у праху или другим материјалима уведено је у 17. веку. Чини се да је најранија употреба глагола премазати око 1600. године, а именица глазура из 1683. Први пут је коришћена 1750. године.

Statement from the internal ULMWP Board Committee on the West Papuan People's Petition
October 1, 2017 in Uncategorized
Following the historic presentation of the West Papuan People's Petition to the United Nations, the internal Board Committee of the United Liberation Movement for West Papua (ULMWP) made up of representatives of the 3 largest pro-independence organisations in West Papua; has written this joint statement in support of the petition. An English version of the statement can be found first, followed by a Bahasa version below.
The West Papuan People's Petition 2017
With thanks to God,
The United Liberation Movement for West Papua firmly commits itself to using United Nations mechanisms for resolving the West Papuan people's right to self-determination, consistent with the ULMWP's road map for liberation. In order to achieve this result the ULMWP will continue to garner support and recognition from all States and forums in all regions and sub-regions of the world including, but not limited to, Melanesia, the Pacific, Africa, and the Caribbean. We pursue these goals in order to realise our people's noble desire for West Papua to become an independent, sovereign and self-governing country.
The ULMWP Board Committee, which has the mandate to govern the organisation and direct the efforts of the Executive, publicly affirms that the petition, which expresses the aspirations of the West Papuan people, has been safely delivered to the United Nations headquarters in New York.
Since the petition was launched by the ULMWP Board Committee on the 5th of April 2017, it has been managed by Petition Committee and distributed throughout the land of West Papua. In the face of persistent threats, intimidation and direct violence by the Indonesian colonial state, 1.8 million West Papuans signed the petition, indicating their firm desire for a free and fair internationally supervised vote.
This demand for self-determination has now been communicated to all nations of the earth so everyone will know the West Papuan people's aspirations.

Some of the most familiar music in the world was written during the classical era. A composer responsible for multiple such melodies is Luigi Ridolfo Boccherini of Lucca Italy. Born in February of 1743, Luigi soon began studying fundemental aspects of music and cello playing from his father, Leopoldo, who played the bass and was assigned the chapel-meister. His brother, Giovanni Gastone Boccherini had notably written libretto for the music of Haydn.
Conflicting accounts suggest that in 1757, Luigi and his father traveled to either Rome or Vienna, where they both achieved some musical success. Additional conflicting timelines claim he returned to his birth-place and joined multiple ensembles between 1764 and 1779. More likely, he'd gone to Madrid, Spain with a pupil of Giuseppe Tartini, Filippo Manfredi, and around 1768 to Paris while touring, where he was well-received by Joseph Gossec and other established musicians and artists. It should be noted that some accounts say he'd been to Madrid in 1761 while another offers the end of 1768 or early 1769. This trip was warmly invited by an ambassador of Spain. They were not warmly received by king or prince unfortunately, but employed by the king's brother, Infante Luis Antonio until his death in 1785. Boccherini dedicated a composition (likely a string quartet) to King of Prussia, Friedrich Wilhelm II, who hired him to compose music for himself, also until this king's death in 1797. The cellist/composer returned to Spain and remained in Madrid for the rest of his life. Luigi remains best known as a composer of ensemble music, having written countless string, flute, and guitar quartets & quintets, trios, symphonies, and sonatas. His most famous work is the String Quintet in E major, from which the famous menuet is derived for many arrangements. It received the attention of Alard, Ernst, Emil Kross, and Georg Goltermann; all highly influential musicians.


It looks like hackers are taking advantage of Android's open source platform. I spoke a few weeks ago about the astonishing increase in exploits Android has seen over the past year. At the end of January, there were articles that talked about an exploit through a USB connection and a drive-by exploit. Today, I saw a blog post that suggested the new Android Market Web store could actually be opening up another door for hackers.
... the next step in the installation is where a big red security flag is raised. Once the user clicks on the install button on the website, the mobile device will automatically start downloading the application in the background.
This probably happens using the INSTALL_ASSET intent discovered last year by Jon Oberheide when Google used the Android's GTalkService mechanism to remotely remove a test Trojan application created by the researcher.
The bottom line, according to the blog, is if someone has your Google password, they may have the ability to trick your phone into downloading software.
The blog recommended making Google passwords tough to crack, which is a good idea. What I'd like to see is Google take a tougher stand on security for its Android OS. With Android tablets on their way, the easy-to-hack platform is going to become even more problematic.

Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters v.1.1 are here!
by Brian King Mon, 1 Jul 2013 | 4 Comments
Tags: application lifecycle management, git, hp, integration, jira, oslc —
For those of you who were excited about our first Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC)-based adapters, we've just released v1.1 of the Rational Lifecycle Integration Adapters with some great new features. You may remember that we released three OSLC-based adapters for HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), Atlassian JIRA, and Git as part of the Standard Edition and four synch-based adapters for HP ALM & HP Quality Center, Atlassian JIRA, Microsoft Team Foundation Server, and Bugzilla as part of the Tasktop edition.
So, what's cool in this release? We realize that the pace at which your non-IBM tools change hasn't slowed down, and we are keeping up. v.1.1 offers new support for the latest tools including HP ALM v.11.5, Atlassian JIRA v.5, the latest versions of Git, GitWeb, and Gerrit, and of course the latest versions of the Rational products. This new release also delivers the capabilities you asked us for such as integrations with CA Clarity and the Requirements Management component of HP ALM in the Tasktop Edition. In the Standard Edition you will experience streamlined set up and installation for the adapter for Git and expanded dashboard capabilities through the use of open social widgets with adapters for HP ALM and JIRA. Many of you who tried out v.1.0 of the adapter for HP ALM will be happy to learn that you can now manage suspect links by determining which Rational Requirements Composer requirements have changed so that test cases can be updated accordingly.
Since our v.1.0 release, a number of you have also asked, "Why two editions?" Well, just as each of your environments consists of a diverse set of tools and practices, we also realize that an approach to sharing data across those tools may vary based on your environment. Using the OSLC-based adapters in the Standard Edition may be desirable when you prefer to link to data residing in its native tool through standard interfaces. Or, the Tasktop Edition may be more appropriate in cases where you have teams that don't log into each others systems or where you need to collaborate with third parties who don't have access to your tools. There are a variety of factors to consider.
One of the things that has made developing these adapters so exciting is hearing your feedback. We have learned a lot over the past year as we have collaborated with you here at jazz.net or captured your thoughts at Innovate and other developer conferences. We want to continue hearing and learning from you. What integration challenges have you experienced? How do you plan to use these adapters? What feedback do you have? 60-day trial versions of the three Standard Edition adapters are now available on jazz.net. Download them and let us know what you think by using the jazz.net forum with the tags 'integration', 'hp', 'jira', or 'git'.

Thank you! When is the SVN adapter planned?
Brian King July 2, 2013 @ 8:23 am
There is not an immediate plan to build an adapter for SVN. However, we are interested in hearing which integrations would be most useful. You can provide that feedback at the top of this page: https://jazz.net/extend/integrations/#tool=Git. (Look for the link that says "Let us know".) Providing use cases would also be helpful.
Brad Appleton July 19, 2013 @ 5:30 pm
The latest version of Atlassian Jira is v6 (just came out in the last couple months). Any idea how soon before that adaptor will support Jira 6 as well as Jira 5?
Brian King July 25, 2013 @ 8:09 am
We are aware that JIRA v.6 was just made available and are testing with it now. We hope to be able to offer support in the near future.

Arsenal vs Manchester United: 5 key clashes that could decide the game
Arsenal, Football, Manchester United, Premier League 2019/20
by Dhruv George
Manchester United vs. Arsenal: Talking Points
Manchester United vs Arsenal used to be one of the blockbuster fixtures of every Premier League season. The rivalry between the two clubs had a special sort of intensity about it and the fervid hatred for each other made it all the more enthralling.
"I see players in the tunnel today, hugging one another before a game. I don't think any of the United lads would have disagreed with me; they hated Arsenal. And the Arsenal lads hated United."
"Our rivalry at that time was more with United than it was with Tottenham."
No rivalry defined this fixture quite like the ferocious hostility between the two leaders that were Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira. But while this fixture may not have the razzmatazz of old and a feisty duel resembling that of Keane and Vieira may be too much to hope for, there will be battles between players that could determine how this game pans out. Let's take a look at 5 such duels:
Top 10 Fastest Running Football Players in the World
1. Michael Carrick vs Mesut Ozil
With Michael Carrick, Manchester United's win percentage is at 52.6% as opposed to the 40% win ratio when he doesn't play. That very stat is testament to how crucial Carrick is for this flailing team. He is a calming influence in the middle of the pitch with an eye for a pass but in the absence of Bastian Schweinsteiger, he may be forced to play in a holding midfield role tasked with the responsibility of shutting out Mesut Ozil, Arsenal's most influential player on his day.
Ozil has been stunning for Arsenal this season but his form of late has come under some criticism and has also coincided with Arsenal's sudden lack of goals. He managed to get an assist for Welbeck's last gasp winner against Leicester and if Carrick doesn't hold him off, United could be in for a rough afternoon.
2. Alexis Sanchez vs Guillermo Varela/Marcos Rojo
Like Ozil, Sanchez too has been struggling for form and as a result, Arsenal's goals have dried up. However, let's not forget that this is Alexis Sanchez. When he's in the mood, he's virtually unstoppable. He was key to Arsenal's 3-0 demolition of United the last time these two sides met in October and if he isn't dealt with properly, he could cause United some real problems.
Injuries have not been kind to Manchester United and nowhere more so than at the full back positions. Injuries to Luke Shaw, Antonio Valencia and Marcos Rojo saw van Gaal look to academy product Cameron Borthwick-Jackson to ease the situation. But with the youngster out with an illness and Matteo Darmian also nursing a shoulder injury, Joe Riley and Varela have been seeing much more first team football then they would've expected.
Carrick had been pushed to center-back and Blind played at left-back against Midtjylland , but manager Louis van Gaal has given United fans some positive news with Rojo apparently ready to return to action.
Whoever plays will have their hands full though and should they succeed in keeping Sanchez quiet, United's prospects of winning this game will have a massive boost.
3. Juan Mata vs Francis Coquelin
during the Barclays Premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester United at Emirates Stadium on October 4, 2015 in London, England.
Juan Mata is the type of player who can either dominate the entire game or disappear completely. Unfortunately for United fans, he's been caught doing the latter too often. His role as United's main creative force is without question and if he is in the mood, any team that comes up against him is in for a real lesson in attacking.
Francis Coquelin has been Arsenal's driving force in midfield. A real cog in a holding midfield role, Coquelin's physicality opposed to Mata's skill and craft should be something to look out for.
4. Ander Herrera vs Aaron Ramsey
Ander Herrera's struggle for game time never seems to end. He finally forced himself into van Gaal's plans midway through last season but he has found game time hard to come by yet again this season. Herrera is loved by every United fan out there because he always seems to come up with something when it matters. He keeps United ticking and his ability to pop up in spaces can prove to be a thorn in Arsenal's side.
Aaron Ramsey, like Ander Herrera is key to most of Arsenal's play. His work rate is phenomenal and his ability to pop up in goal-scoring positions will trouble United's nervy back four if Chris Smalling isn't fit in time for the game. Like most of his Arsenal team-mates, he hasn't been in the best of form of late and he missed some golden chances against Barcelona. If Ramsey can shut Herrera up, United will struggle to have any sort of tempo to their play and vice versa.
5. David de Gea vs Petr Cech
Without David de Gea, Manchester United probably wouldn't even be 6th, likewise with Petr Cech and Arsenal. Both have been crucial to their clubs this season in their own respects. Cech's presence in between in the posts has given confidence to defense in front of him. They now seem a more well organized and secure unit. Manchester United on the other hand require de Gea more than ever. Injuries have forced Daley Blind to play as a make-shift center back for most of the campaign and while he hasn't done too badly, it would still be fair to say that United might have conceded less with a proper center back in the team.
De Gea has saved United on countless occasions and the injury which forced him to miss their last three games caused panic amongst United fans with such a big game on the horizon. However, he seems to have recovered just in time and if he does play, Arsenal's frontline who are already struggling to score goals might be in for another frustrating afternoon.

Meet your May 2019 Guide Dog graduates
Meet Blossom, Holly, Rhani, Saber, Rose, Sami, Shea, Skylar, Sully and Thor. Ten amazing dogs who, through the help of supporters and volunteers, have graduated as Guide Dogs.
These new graduates were presented with their Guide Dogs harness at a graduation ceremony held at the Guide Dogs Centre in Glossodia. The ceremony was attended by donors, sponsors, puppy raisers, and trainers who witnessed the graduates walk down a red carpet and receive their Guide Dog harness.
It takes over two years and at a cost of $50,000 to breed, raise and train each of the Guide Dog graduates – a journey made possible by the wonderful support of people like you. These new Guide Dogs are now ready to be matched with clients to assist with their mobility and independence.
Meet the new Guide Dog graduates
Blossom is our quiet achiever. Bloss Bloss always knows how to put a smile on her handlers face. Her moderate speed in harness makes for a comfortable ride when she guides her handler from A to B. Blossom's love for her toys sets her apart from the rest. In the free-runs after training she is doing laps with her favourite stuffed elephant, living her best life. Blossom always tries her hardest in training and doesn't sweat the small stuff!
She may be small in stature but she is a real power house! Holly goes by a few names such as; Holly-bobs and lollipop. Holly is what we call a 'pocket rocket', a dynamic girl who works at a nice moderate speed and always has her eye on the job. Holly will do anything for a piece of kibble which has made her a great candidate for Guide Dog Training. Holly is always pushing her way to the front of the van wanting to be the first training walk of the day.
Rhani
Rhani or otherwise known as 'Rhan-stifer' or 'Doo-Rhan' is a medium yellow female who is always looking for ways to please her handler. Rhani is a strong minded girl who is determined to get her handler to the correct destination with ease. Don't let her cute looks fool you though, she has a cheeky nature and always loves a good tummy rub at the end of her walks. You'll find her playing with a toy in her mouth with her sister Rose at the end of the training day. Rhani is on her way to making a wonderful Guide Dog.
Saber or 'Saber-tooth' is a true gentleman. Those big brown puppy eyes are super hard to resist. If you ask Saber 'do you wanna go for a walk' he will give you an oh so cute head tilt as if to say 'is that even a question?! Of course!' Saber loves working around busy environments where he can guide his handler in and around pedestrians in style. Saber is a dynamic dog who is excelling at Guide Dog school.
Rose or Rose Bud as she is affectionately known loves nothing more than being around people. This assisted her beautifully in her work as she would do anything to please her trainer.
Rose has shown great determination throughout her training and has matured in to a willing guide and companion. She likes to work in suburban or rural environments (particularly when it involves having a break at a café), and would always choose cuddles over toys at the end of her training walks, which her trainer did not mind at all.
Sami is the true pup of the group! Sami or 'Sam-Wise' is a tall black male who just loves to be around people. When Sami is free-running with his team mates you will always find him by your side ready for a gentle pat on the head. Sami always tries his best in everything he does, a real pleaser. Sami shows his best work in residential areas and his a pro at guiding his handler on and off escalators!
Shea has a real zest for life, taking fun and cheekiness where ever goes; despite this she has taken to working life like a duck to water. Shea loves to work and is always the first at the front of the van volunteering to go out first. She has the ability to retain her skill of guiding in all environments but may at times get a little distracted by those fascinating animals with wings – birds!
At the end of a training walk or at the end of the day when running with her friends, you will find her with a toy in her mouth showing it off to everyone she comes across. She will certainly make her new owner smile on a daily basis.
Skylar is a sweet natured dog who has a serious working side but also a playful social side. In the morning when she sees her trainer, she bounces around in excitement like a kangaroo, and struggles to stop wiggling long enough so that she can sit before being taken out for a days training.
She has shown real skill in her training and guides her trainer safely in any environment that they find themselves in.
Skylar has acquired many fans during her time at the training centre, her trainer puts this down to her beautiful puppy looks and character and/or her skills and adaptability when working.
Sully or otherwise known as 'Sully-pup' is a real crowd pleaser. His pure white fur and big brown eyes sets him apart from all the rest. Sully is a really adaptable boy who works immaculately in any environment he is thrown in. Sully is so willing to learn new skills in training and always has his thinking cap on. Hanging in the sunshine under the café seat is one of his favourite things to do. When the harness is on its all business but when it comes off he has a toy in his mouth straight away ready to bombard you with hugs.
Thor is a gentle giant with a flash of white on his chest which his trainer likes to think of as his lightning bolt. Despite his size and potential strength you would struggle to find such a softie.
Thor has done lots of training wearing boots to protect his feet when he is off on his adventures with his new owner. As soon as they go on, he thinks he has super powers, and when off lead with them on loves to run around creating thunder noises on the ground.
He has grown so much as a guide dog, and will take great pride in keeping his owner safe where ever they go.

The encounter is the first between an American president and a member of North Korea's ruling Kim dynasty.
Only months after threatening each other with the devastation of nuclear war, President Donald Trump met with Kim Jong Un, the dictator of North Korea, in Singapore on Tuesday in a groundbreaking meeting on Sentosa Island.
The meeting—the first between an American president and a leader of the most reclusive and, arguably, the most repressive regime on the planet—began with several handshakes between Trump and Kim, before a short photo session with news photographers from around the world. The leaders appeared in front of a backdrop that included six American flags and six North Korean flags side-by-side.
After a short initial one-on-one meeting between the two leaders—roughly 40 minutes—Trump and Kim appeared on a balcony together, once again shaking hands. Trump described the initial meeting as "very very good, excellent relationship," before heading for a "working lunch" joined by White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and their North Korean counterparts, which began with yet another handshake.
In January, following tests of a long-range missile that the North Korean regime said could strike anywhere in the United States, Trump made it clear that his administration would leave all military options to deter North Korean nuclear aggression.
The president also taunted Kim as "Little Rocket Man" on Twitter, and threatened that the Korean peninsula would face "fire and fury like the world has never seen" if Kim's pursuit of intercontinental nuclear missile technology continued.
In Singapore, however, Trump was all smiles, shaking Kim's hand multiple times and flashing a thumbs-up to the dictator. The exchange was even more pleasant in contrast to Trump's frosty relationships with the leaders of major Western democracies and allies. Upon first meeting Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany in March 2017, for example, Trump refused to shake her hand.
The American government's stated goal in engaging the North Korean dictator—who was found, in a report compiled by the International Bar Association War Crimes Committee, to be culpable for numerous crimes against humanity—is the complete denuclearization of North Korea, a goal that most regional analysts consider extremely unlikely.
But Trump himself has pulled back from the hopes of any major concessions from North Korea during the Singapore summit, calling the summit more of a "getting to know you meeting plus" than a major negotiation between nuclear powers.

Anderson The Syncopated Clock
The Syncopated Clock
Anderson wrote The Syncopated Clock in 1945. Having been invited by Arthurd Fiedler to guest-conduct the Boston Pops Orchestra, Anderson wanted to introduce a new work. The idea of the title reportedly predated the work: in a few hours he wrote the music, scored it for orchestra and then mailed it to Boston Symphony Hall. Fiedler had the orchestra parts copied from the score. The piece was picked as music for The Late Show, becoming a very familiar tune to most americans. The arrangement requires temple blocks to be used as the sound of the clock which is heard throughout the number, except for a brief section in the middle.

Now, I'm just a simple guy
But there's one thing sure as shootin'
I hate those folks that think that they're
So doggone high fa lutin
I'd be the same in Hollywood
Or right in my own kitchen
I believe in fussin' when you're mad
And scratchin' when you're itchin'.
I'm a plain, old country boy
A corn-bread lovin' country boy
I raise cain on Saturday
But I go to church on Sunday
I'll be lookin' over that old grey mule
When the sun comes up on Monday.
Where I come from, opportunities, they never were too good
We never had much money, but we done the best we could
Ma doctored me from youngin-hood, with Epson salts and Iodine
Made my diapers out of old feed sacks, my 'spenders out of plow lines.
Every time the preacher called, Ma always fixed a chicken
If I'd reach for a drumstick, I was sure to get a lickin'
She always saved two parts for me, But I had to shut my mouth
T'was the gizzard and the North end of a chicken flyin' South.

Listening to local author Karen Whalen read from her cozy mystery.
My two biggest fans, granddaughters Olivia and Zoey.
Thank you to Teresa at Home and Spirit for her review of my book. If you haven't visited her blog, please do so. It's time well spent. Her posts have touched my life on many occasions.
The joy of reading is a privilege of which I am always grateful for. A good book has the power to enrich our lives, sometimes even teach us or cause us to reflect. This morning, after just finishing the book, The Inheritance by fellow WordPress blogger, Rhonda Blackhurst, I find myself reflecting some more on all the teachable gems which glittered throughout the pages of the book.
Sometimes I get so caught up in being the best at something I lose my focus on what's really important. Of course, being the Type A that I am, I'm usually killing myself striving to be the best at everything. And it's here that I get into trouble.
Striving to be my own personal best and striving to be the best is the difference between the scenic journey of healthy living and the fast lane to insanity.
When I've accomplished something in my writing career, I find I want to be better. After all, J.K. Rowling, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell and J. R. R. Tolkien have all topped the lists, so why shouldn't I be able to?
And on and on and on…and thus begins the proverbial squirrel cage thinking, the squirrel being fed from comparing myself to others.
Gratitude, pure and simple, is the answer to putting the squirrel to rest.
Gratitude that I've accomplished something that I love to do so much, appreciating that I've been blessed with a talent that breathes life into me.
Gratitude for having a day job with work that I enjoy, and pay that allows to me live comfortably, while experiencing satisfaction at being able to make a positive difference to victims of crime at a time when their entire world has been turned upside down and inside out.
Gratitude for each and every person who my blog has touched, each one individually. As long as I've been writing, which has been since the age of four when I wrote "words" on the living room wall with crayon :), my goal has never been to make millions, but to make a difference. If even to just one.
Every life touched, every one, matters.
But may we never forget the needs of one for the needs of the few or the many.
As writers, we need to enlist the help of beta readers to identify any potential problems before we unleash our story on the world. For the months that we spend writing, we hear from others just how creative we are and what a cool idea our current work is progress is. But when we ask for beta readers, we hear crickets.
Oftentimes, people really don't have the time to commit to reading a book. But for many people, I believe the reason they don't volunteer is because they have no clue what is expected of them. So for those people, I give you, this post.


At least once in our lives, we've bumped into a hot skillet or been surprised by some drops of boiling oil on our skin. Burns are the one of the most common household accidents. The annoying thing is that once the pain subsides, it's very likely that a mark on the skin will remain as a constant reminder. To get rid of these unsightly marks, we'll explain at oneHOWTO how to get rid of burn marks on the skin, whether they are on your face, legs or hands.
Lemon has many properties for the skin and works well to get rid of burn marks, as well as dark scars. If you want to get rid of burn marks on your legs, wash the affected area with cold running water. Once the burn has been somewhat relieved from pain, take a cloth, moisten it with lemon juice and place it on the burn to clean it and prevent it from leaving a mark. Do this several times a day during some days until no trace is left.
You can also create a lemon face mask that you can use once a week. It will help in getting rid of the burn marks more effectively.
Tomato can also work as a great remedy for burn marks on your face, as it has a soft effect that won't leave any further marks. The extract of this fruit can help eliminate burns that have occurred at least a week before. To treat your burn, rub a little tomato extract on the affected area several times a day and wait for it to take effect.
Aloe vera is perfect for treating burn marks on your hand, legs and face, given its great regenerative skin properties. Take a leaf of this plant, cut it crosswise, extract the pulp and then apply to the burn. Read this article if you want more details on how to use aloe vera to treat burns.
If your burn has been their for a long time and all you have left is a nasty scar, then it will be more complicated to get rid of it. First of all, remember to exfoliate every week to make sure your skin regenerates properly.
Use 5 tbsp baking soda and stir in one tbsp water.
Apply the resulting paste on the burn scar and leave it to dry.
Wash off after this time has passed and continue applying this paste three times per week.
If the burn mark is on your face, then the magnificent benefits of Fuller's earth can help you with this one. Take a look at this recipe and let us know about your results!
Just mix 2 tbsp fuller's earth powder, 2 tbsp neem oil, 1 tbsp aloe vera gel and 1 spoonful rose water and mix together to form a thick paste.
Add more rose water if needed.
Leave to dry on your face and apply every other day to notice its effects.
Chemical peelings can also be helpful to completely get rid of existing mild burn marks, because the acids in the chemical peeling remove the surface layers of the skin, eliminating the burn marks among other impurities.
However, be careful and don't apply a chemical peeling to a recently burnt skin, as this would extremely damage it. Wait a few weeks until the burn is completely healed to apply the peeling.
If you burnt yourself with wax, learn how to get rid of wax burn marks.
If your scar is fading but is still noticeable, then another home remedy that will helps face your burn mark is chamomile thanks to its skin lightening properties. Make some chamomile tea and mix in 4 spoonfuls with one spoonful of honey and one cup of water. Apply on the burn area and leave to dry for 15 minutes. Remove with lukewarm water and repeat the process every three days for a month.
In order to cure burn marks on your hand, another great remedy, that will be useful if your burn hasn't healed completely, is to use wheat flour, as it will also act against any infection or blisters that may occur.
To use this home remedy, get the wheat flour, which should be ground finely, and apply it directly on the affected area. Wait until it has been absorbed by the skin and leave on for around 30 minutes.
Before applying any of these remedies make sure that you heal the burn properly. In this article we explain you how to treat recent burns with home remedies. Once they're healed, if you can see the scar you can apply the remedies stated above.
If you want to read similar articles to How to Get Rid of Burn Marks on the Skin with Home Remedies, we recommend you visit our Family health category.
Make sure to only apply these remedies to healed burns, as if the burns are very recent they could get infected.
It is also recommended to exfoliate once a week in order to help the skin regenerate faster and get rid of dead skin cells faster.
It depends what you use in the mask. An overnight mask is one which should be gentle, so don't use the one with lemon juice. The acid in the juice isn't strong, but we don't advise leaving it on overnight. Use one which is cooling and moisturizing, this would be better.
I have used Dermalmd scar treatment serum on a few burn scars and it really had made the appearance minimal to nonexistent. It's easy to use and the smell isn't too strong or repulsive.
If your burns are a week old they won't have had time to scar, as the skin hasn't had time to regenerate. I will need to let the burn heal appropriately.
You can use aloe vera to make the process quicker and to prevent scarring.
We recommend using lemon. You'll find the instructions on how to get rid of burn marks with lemon in the article above.
What should i use for a dark burn mark. I burned on the 26 September with boiled water and the burn mark is very big and dark on my right foot.
We advise you to use lemon, as this lightens the skin naturally.

Obit: Mr. 3-2 Shot & Killed In Southwest Houston
Mr. 3-2 was a Screwed Up Click & Rap-A-Lot Records mainstay.
Multiple sources are confirming that the victim of a shooting in Southwest Houston last night is former Rap-A-Lot Records member and Screwed Up Click legend Mr. 3-2.
If you read the tea leaves on the legend of Mr. 3-2 (born Christopher Barriere), they can date back all the way to 1991. That year, he and Big Mike released their only Rap-A-Lot album under the Convicts brand. Legend has it that the album reached the ears of then Death Row Records head Suge Knight, who wanted to sign Mike to Death Row. Mike decided instead to join a revamped version of The Geto Boys after Willie D left. However, Mike & 3-2 did take a meeting with Suge, even staying in Long Beach and recording music with Warren G & Snoop Dogg.
"He was the one who told me, 'We don't love these hoes!'" – Snoop Dogg
Depending on who you hear it from, Snoop took a bit from Mr. 3-2 in terms of flows & slang. Snoop even credits Mr. 3-2 with gifting him the classic, "We don't love these hoes" line. That the "Death Row Inmates" track from Dr. Dre & Snoop was directly influenced by The Convicts. Regardless, Mr. 3-2 did lay claim to a plenty of firsts in rap history. On UGK's seminal 1996 album Ridin' Dirty, he's the first verse you hear after Ronnie Spencer's Isley Brother imitation on "One Day". The 1991 track "1-900-Dial-A-Crook" easily is an early version of what Jay Z accomplished on 2000's "1-800-Hustler" on The Dynasty: Roc La Familia.
Bun B says it was 3-2 who pushed him to go harder on Ridin' Dirty. The self-proclaimed Governor of Texas, Mr. 3-2 found most of his time as a rap star that was underrated and beset by real life situations. He may have never gotten his full due as an innovator or even a great rapper. But he was great, he was rather excellent and he's another Houston mainstay that will be missed.

The connected world may be shrinking by the day, but the digital universe is expanding at a mind-boggling rate. Organizations now handle data in the range of terabytes and petabytes. This data looks nothing like what RDBMS traditionally dealt with. New distributed databases, known by the umbrella term NoSQL, help in the efficient handling of this unstructured and scaling data.
Each of the below NoSQL categories have their distinct use cases.
Graph database: Data is stored as graphs, which helps efficiently represent and analyze interrelations in data.
Document database: Data is treated as documents with different structures. Enables easy retrieval and provides high availability.
Columnar database: Data is stored as columns rather than rows. Reduces I/O by selectively searching columns.
Key-Value Stores: Data is stored as key-value pairs and they help quickly look up a list of things with unique identifiers.
The CAP theorem posits that all distributed systems can provide only two of the three desirable guarantees–consistency, availability, and partition tolerance. Different NoSQL databases are optimized for different properties. While they kind of relax the ACID properties of RDBMS, the fact is that for several new-age applications, low latency is top priority, not consistency. For example, a millisecond delay in loading a web page can be costly for business. Non-transactional applications can tolerate such fine-tuned tradeoffs to deliver the desired performance.
With such a rich platter to pick from, the key to finding the perfect match is to have a clear understanding of your use case and go for the one that best answers the call. There are plenty of resources online that you can dig into to learn more. Here's a selection of seven different database use cases and our choice of database in each context.
A generic IoT platform required support for data from wide range of devices, some of which could not be envisaged while developing the platform.
The above use case necessitated a data storage mechanism that could handle data from different types of devices. This led to the choice of JSON-based document database, MongoDB. Indexing support of MongoDB makes it easy to pull data using single index or multiple index such as device id with location id. Records for a particular device in different locations are easily accessed. Common parameters like temperature from different types of devices and their records are retrieved fast through these indexes.
A mobile and a web application that would help users to retrieve warranty and supplier information and coordinate with builders to get repairs done.
MySQL helped us store the relatively structured and relational data like user profile, home maintenance schedule, and so on. MongoDB's JSON-based document store gave us the flexibility to store the highly unstructured product database. Its ability to query the documents with diverse structures enabled us to create a highly intuitive and context- specific frontend for product search, which would have been very difficult to create using a relational database.
A gift coupon application that handles offers and payment-related information.
We chose MariaDB, a relational database, for its capability to scale horizontally while keeping the ACID property. The last was particularly important because transactional data was being handled. Eventual consistency as offered by other databases was not suitable. Going with MariaDB and Galera cluster gave us the opportunity to scale horizontally for a large number of writes and reads without compromising the ACID and transactional capability required by the application.
An eCommerce platform with the difference that it had to support regional inventories.
First off, we decided to go with a document store model to align with the data structure. Since the entire environment was in the Google Cloud platform, we weighed the benefits of having a MongoDB in Cloud Platform versus using a DBaaS solution within the platform like Google Cloud Datastore or Cloud Bigtable. Finally, we picked Google Cloud Datastore as it provided SQL-like queries as well as ACID transactions, which were very important for the platform. Since it is a part of Google Cloud platform, we had a friction-free integration with other products we used. The query engine of the data store is also powerful, which allows users to search for data across multiple properties.
A martial arts video tutorial portal. The requirement was to present the instructional materials in such a way that users can easily locate interrelated videos and seamlessly move from one lesson to another.
As the project demanded the representation of interrelated videos, a graph database was adopted. Each node in the graph would represent an instructional video and it has a number of properties assigned to it. If the video is linked to another video, an edge describing that particular relation is created between the two. Users can plot an intelligent mind map of tens of thousands of martial arts techniques and their inter-relationships. This type of visualization helps the user understand how the current instructional video is related to other videos. The user can explore the video collection incrementally, starting from a single video and navigate to more videos through edges as required.
The application allows users to search for menu items and restaurants in a country.
We needed a solution for storing error logs and traces of applications that are as huge as 100k users.
Though errors and traces could have different schema, they can be stored in a single Table storage and partitioned by week or month for quick retrieval for debugging purposes. Though Azure Table storage appears very similar to a relational table, the prime advantage of using a table storage when compared to a regular relational table is its ability to support flexible schema, along with its inherent support for storing huge amounts of data as distributed partitions. Adding new columns to Table storage does not require any kind of alter scripts and can be handled by simply altering the type of the object being saved. This makes it an apt solution for storing data such as application logs, chat transcripts, and so on.

The USFDA is introducing docuBridge, eValidator, and Automator at CDER and CBER – the centers responsible for regulatory oversight of drugs and biological products in the United States. Our team is working to ensure that all software runs flawlessly while meeting all functional and non-functional requirements – and above all to make the changeover happen smoothly. The April-May working session also included a hands-on training in docuBridge as an eCTD review tool.
The next phase in the software launch will be the migration of the USFDA's legacy eCTD sequences into LORENZ systems. To our knowledge, this will be one of the biggest migrations of records ever done! Over the next several months, more than 1.3 million legacy eCTD sequences from the USFDA will be migrated into docuBridge and made available to USFDA reviewers.
During this period, incoming submissions will also have to be directly transmitted to the new solution, with LORENZ Automator managing the automated validation and import of these inbound submissions. This will enable a seamless, fluid transition from the USFDA's legacy systems to the LORENZ software. Specifications for the migration and the automated processing of incoming submissions were also discussed in detail during the April-May visit.
We will be working diligently with the USFDA over the next few months to complete the changeover. This will include further rounds of training for the USFDA's review community in how to use LORENZ tools for eCTD submission review.
Questions regarding the USFDA-LORENZ contract or LORENZ' partnerships with other leading regulatory authorities around the world can be directed to Jared Lantzy, Manager of Global Regulatory Agencies and Processes. Questions can also be submitted to LORENZ directly and will be routed appropriately.

Published online October 1, 2016.
Approximately 5.7 million adults in the United States are living with heart failure (1). For patients with advanced heart failure who are too ill to wait for a donor or who are not eligible for a heart transplant because of age or other medical problems, ventricular assist devices (VADs) offer life-saving therapy (2,3). VADs were initially designed as a temporary support to bridge patients to heart transplantation, but in recent times, these devices are increasingly being used as lifetime support or destination therapy (4). With continual improvements in device design along with advances in medical and surgical management, VAD patients can now return home, to work, and to their communities with fairly good quality of life. The durable VADs have battery pockets and a control unit (Figure 1), which needs to be carried around by the patient at all times. Recently, during an encounter with a VAD patient of African American ethnicity, the patient expressed some unique concerns.
The LVAD is connected to the electronic controller and the battery packs by a percutaneous lead. The electronic controller is worn on a belt, while the battery packs are worn on a shoulder holster. Reprinted with permission from Rogers et al. (6) LVAD = left ventricular assist device.
One could sense his fear of being mistaken for wearing an armed device rather than a life-saving one. As physicians, we strive to improve the longevity and quality of life of our patients. In light of the unfortunate events that have happened recently in the nation, the patient's concerns were real and valid. In a recent report by the Washington Post, it was stated that African Americans account for 24% of those fatally shot and killed by the police, despite being just 13% of the U.S. population. Moreover, approximately 13% of all black people who have been fatally shot by police since January 2015 were unarmed, compared with 7% of all white people (5). It might be time to appeal to major VAD companies like Abiomed (Danvers, Massachusetts), HeartWare International (Framingham, Massachusetts), Thoratec (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, Minnesota), and Berlin Heart (Berlin, Germany) to redesign their models to be less obvious, keeping current social situations in mind.

To support my collage friend Tony, I fundraised for and rode the 2016 Tour de Cure.
Registration is $35 and then you have to fundraise at least $200 in order to ride. That might sound like a lot, but due to my generous friends and family, it was actually quite easy. In fact, I went over it this year, because in addition to the online donations people gave me cash that I handed in the morning of the ride. Thanks to everyone that contributed!
My coworker overhead me talking about the ride and paid the entire registration and fundraising minimum so he could ride. It proves that everyone knows someone that's affected by diabetes.
The ride starts and ends at Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis. The weather forecast was a little iffy the week before, but Saturday morning it was partially cloudy and kind of muggy.
I'd rather be hot than cold so I started with my long sleeve Pearl Izumi jersey (similar here). You can see there was a wide variety of attire happening at the start.
The 43-mile route goes through both Minneapolis and St. Paul. I love going around the lakes in Minneapolis, along both sides of the river and then slowly creep up Summit Ave into St. Paul. There were a lot of slow down-turn-stop-go-speed up spots on the route, so if you're looking for a long and steady ride, this route probably isn't for you.
The bike path around Target Field was under construction so we took a little detour through downtown. I worked downtown for several years, so luckily I knew exactly where I was and how to get back on course by crossing the river via the Hennepin Avenue bridge.
At the Stone Arch bridge rest stop I shed the long-sleeve, rolled it up, and crammed it in the back of my Moxie Cycling top that I got from the Esprit de She duathlon. Just like last year they had watermelon at this rest stop and it hit the spot!
The route then went along the Hiawatha Trail to the Midtown Greenway and then south along the river, crossing over the Ford Bridge and then north along the river. I've ran along the river several times with my mom but I'm just a little faster on the bike. 😉 Just before turning onto Summit there was another fully stocked rest stop.
This is right about mile 22 on the Twin Cities Marathon and it's a gentle incline all the way into downtown St. Paul. The homes along Summit are so pretty and distracting so you don't notice the incline too much. The route then snakes back down to the river again. We skipped the last rest stop and that's when we hit a few hills and I got really tired. After some slow riding I got my act together on the Mendota Bridge. We finished without a drop of rain.
Tony and his sister finished the 17-mile route shortly after. We had lunch, grabbed some complimentary beer from Grain Belt and Schells. Then we all "snuck" into the champion's area to take some pictures with the cool background.
Thanks again for everyone that donated in support of Tony!
Sounds like an amazing route! 60mi next year?!??!?? You go girl!!!
