Liverpool Must Sign Experience Over Youth This Summer
Anfield Index > Liverpool FC Articles > Liverpool Must Sign Experience Over Youth This Summer
As the season comes to an end all eyes and ears will be fixated on who Liverpool will sign in the transfer window. The club has not been particularly successful in this area since Brendan Rodgers took over as manager three seasons ago. The Reds can only count Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho as successful transfers in the last six windows as Liverpool fans have been constantly disappointed with the infamous 'transfer-committee' botching signings on a regular basis.
The fans remember all too well the disappointments of missing out on players such as Sanchez, Willian, Mkhitaryan and so on. It has been a constant trend and one that needs to change this summer. Rodgers and the committee have spent a total of 242.95 million on player recruitment since taking over in 2012, which shows that the owners have not shied away from allowing him the finances to splash the cash. Unfortunately, the transfer committee has been incapable of convincing the high-profile players to join the team. Even with being the most entertaining team in the division last season scoring over 100 goals, the committee was unable to charm Alexis Sanchez to join as he opted for Arsenal due to a location preference. Yes, Liverpool is not the most glamorous place to live; however, it is the duty of the transfer committee to persuade players on the project being built at the club.
This summer Liverpool is going to oversee the departures of many experienced players. Of course, the biggest departure is that of Steven Gerrard, yet, there are players like Glen Johnson, Kolo Toure, Rickie Lambert and Brad Jones that are also expected to leave Anfield. The average age of Liverpool for the current season is 25.2 years, which is the second only to Tottenham in the Premier League. With the expected departures of the names mentioned, the average age is likely to drop to just over 24 years, making Liverpool the youngest team in the division.
Rodgers is renowned for developing youth talent, and since taking over has mainly focussed his efforts on signing young players with the hope of developing them into top class talent. However, Rodgers and his committee must look to bring in some much-needed experience into the squad. A blend of youth and experience creates the perfect balance for a football club with the young players feeding off the experience of the older players. Losing a character like Gerrard from the dressing room is going to be an impossible task to fulfil as is with the departures of others like Johnson and Toure, who may not be missed as much on the field, but their effect on the dressing room will certainly require replacement.
Liverpool have been strongly linked with the likes of James Milner for the past couple of months and he is exactly the type of player the club should be looking to sign. Milner is a 29-year old experienced England international who will not only inject a wealth of experience in the squad, but also provide versatility across the middle of the park. He will be able to assist and guide his England teammate and expected Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson with his experience through the season. The fact that his wages will be high coming from Manchester City should not deter Liverpool. He is available on a free transfer which should allow the club to pay him higher wages.
The one area the club needs some serious reinvestment in is the forward line. From scoring a mammoth 101 goals in 2013/14 at an average of 2.66 goals per game, the clubs average has dropped markedly this season to 1.39 goals per game having scored only 50 goals. Yes, the club lost a peripheral figure in Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge to injury, but the failure to sign a prolific striker severely dented the clubs chances of finishing in the top four. The signings of Balotelli and Lambert have just not worked and Liverpool must sign a striker who comes with experience and a track record of scoring goals.
Someone like Pedro from Barcelona would be an ideal candidate. He has been a part of the Barcelona setup for 8 years and at 27 years of age, will bring with him experience as well as goalscoring threat. With his game time limited, due to the brilliance of Messi, Suarez and Neymar, he will be looking to move to a club where he will get regular game time and Liverpool would be the ideal destination for him. Sturridge cannot be trusted to lead the line due to his injury history, which would mean giving Pedro the task of leading the forward line. His versatility to play across the front 3 is another appealing factor that Rodgers tends to look at when signing players.
Since Liverpool do not have the comfort of using Champions League as a means to lure potential recruits, the club must be willing to pay over the odds to get the transfers they require. It is most certainly a high risk given financial fair play could affect the team, but it is a risk the owners must be willing to take if they are to have any chance of competing for the top four next season.

Tell Lansing: take the politics out of our curriculum!
Mon, 06/18/2018 - 3:35pm — Steven Norton
Defend sound, non-ideological social studies standards
Gap year or no, there will always be important issues we need to bring to your attention, and this is one. So we're delaying our usual state budget coverage (mildly good news - it's an election year, after all) to alert you to something very strange going on in Lansing that shapes what our children will be taught in school.
A planned refresh of the Michigan social studies content standards has apparently been hijacked by some folks with an extreme political agenda, and many of the changes they desired are in the current final draft. There's still time to take action to stop this nonsense, and we'll give you the info below.
But first, let's look at what these extremists want to change in our social studies standards. You will probably not be surprised that Tea Party favorite Sen. Patrick Colbeck (R-Canton) is leading the charge - especially since he is also running for governor. But you might be surprised by how far he and his allies are willing to go. Here is the lead from the article in Bridge Magazine, produced by the non-partisan Center for Michigan, which broke the story last week:
References to gay rights, Roe v. Wade, climate change and "core democratic values" have been stripped from Michigan's new proposed social studies standards, and the historic role of the NAACP downplayed, through the influence of Republican state Sen. Patrick Colbeck and a cadre of conservatives who helped rewrite the standards for public school students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Apparently, Sen. Colbeck and his friends think the phrase "core democratic values" sounds partisan, leading fellow Sen. David Knezek to point out that most school children grasp the rules of capitalization.
Some of the changes are more sinister, however: a high school standard covering the expansion of civil rights and liberties was changed to emphasize "how the expansion of rights for some groups can be viewed as an infringement of rights and freedoms of others." Colbeck told the magazine he added that language.
References to the Ku Klux Klan have also been pared back, though one of Colbeck's original recommendations which didn't make the cut advocated a distorted view of history: "'The KKK was founded as an anti-Republican organization not an anti-black organization,' Colbeck wrote. 'It just so happened that the majority of Southern blacks were in fact Republican.'"
To appreciate the enormity of the changes successfully pushed by Colbeck and allies, please read the Bridge story and take a look at the draft standards:
Read "History gets a conservative twist in Michigan social studies standards," by Ron French and Lindsay VanHulle.
Review the draft social studies standards document (proposed additions are in all caps, deletions are crossed out).
Once you've done that, be sure to speak out.
The State Board of Education, now evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, must still approve any standards.
The Michigan Department of Education is accepting public comment online through June 30 through an online form here. (The form assumes you're familiar with the standards document, so you might want to have that handy.)
MDE is also still holding public comment sessions around the state where all are welcome to respond to the proposed standards:
Flint, 6-8 p.m. June 18, at the Erwin L. Davis Education Center of the Genesee Intermediate School District, 2413 W. Maple Ave.
Saginaw, 6-8 p.m. June 19, 3860 Fashion Square Boulevard
Waterford, 6-8 p.m. June 20, at Oakland Intermediate School District, 2111 Pontiac Lake Rd.
Sault Ste. Marie, 6-8 p.m. June 26, at Eastern Upper Peninsula Intermediate School District, 315 Armory Place.
Several members of the State Board have promised to block these politicized changes and insist on a more neutral and educationally sound document. Let's make sure they know we don't want our educational standards politicized.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Dec. 6, 2013) - Bad Science Watch has criticized the newly tabled Patient Safety Act, known as "Vanessa's Law", for explicitly excluding Natural Health Products from the regulations to appease lobbyists.
The consumer protection organization claims that the already insufficient regulation of NHPs will be weakened as a result, neglecting the safety of NHP users and practitioners and compromising informed healthcare choice.
"What is otherwise an excellent proposal is horribly undermined by this glaring omission," said Jamie Williams, Executive Director of Bad Science Watch. "The exclusion of Natural Health Products from the definition of 'therapeutic products' means the government would be able to issue a recall for a bad batch of lip balm, but not for herbal remedies adulterated with pseudoephedrine or tainted with toxic heavy metals."
Bad Science Watch believes Canadians deserve robust safety and enforcement regulations for all health care products, and will be fighting to have the Act's definition of "therapeutic products" amended to include NHPs.

Here's why these 7 U.S. mall owners, including Simon, are in trouble, S&P warns
With winter looming, America's mall owners face troubling days ahead in the global health crisis, according to a new report from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
S&P has picked 7 publicly traded mall owners that face exceptional risks in the coming months: CBL & Associates, Pennsylvania REIT, Simon Property Group, Taubman Centers, Macerich, Brookfield Property REIT and Washington Prime Group.
Store closures have been one of these landlords' biggest headaches in 2020: Over 11,000 retail locations have been announced for closure so far this year, according to a tracking by CoStar Group.
As the Covid pandemic worsens, and cases and hospitalizations keep climbing to new records in the U.S., mall owners face the threat of additional shutdowns, which could paint an even bleaker picture for landlords heading into the New Year.
Following a round of lockdowns and stay-at-home orders that began in March and abated during the summer months, retailers had a moment of reprieve to try to get their businesses back on track. But the temporary hardships were enough to push two mall owners, CBL & Associates and Pennsylvania REIT, into bankruptcy. Both filed for Chapter 11 protection on Nov. 1.
Now, the United States is entering what many describe as the country's darkest days yet. California recently implemented new regional lockdowns. Chicago is advising its residents to stay at home. Other cities are expected to follow suit. There likely will be more mall shutdowns to come.
In a report released Tuesday, S&P's Quantamental Research group highlighted seven names, including CBL and PREIT, that face exceptional risks in the coming months. The other five are: Simon Property Group, Taubman Centers, Brookfield Property REIT, Macerich and Washington Prime Group.
In selecting these seven companies, S&P said it considered a handful of risk factors, including: Higher percentage of anchor tenants (namely department stores) that have declared bankruptcy this year; lower building permit activity; falling foot traffic; degree of leverage; cash flow; and the overall proportion of tenants that have filed for bankruptcy.
The graphic highlights some of these metrics, compiled by S&P, for the seven companies during the month of October 2020. Change in shopper traffic and permit activity are represented on a year-over-year basis.

Six of the seven companies were not immediately available to respond to CNBC's request for comment. Washington Prime declined to comment.
Store closures have been one of these landlords' biggest headaches this year. Many of them are taking place at their properties. Over 11,000 retail locations have been announced for closure so far this year, totaling nearly 150 million square feet of retail space, according to a tracking by the real estate firm CoStar Group. Department store chains such as Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus and J.C. Penney have contributed to that rising figure.
Investors have steered clear of the space, seeing malls as a risky bet.
Shares of Simon, which has a market cap of $34 billion, have dropped roughly 39% since January. Brookfield Property, which has a market cap of $15.65 billion, has lost 15% from its share price over the same period. Macerich shares are down more than 55% year to date, bringing its market cap to $1.9 billion. Washington Prime's stock price is down more than 68% since January, bringing its market cap to $216 million.
Only Taubman has bucked this trend. Its shares are up about 38% this year, rising on news that the high-end mall owner is set to be acquired by Simon. Taubman has a market cap of $2.65 billion.

Jeri Smith-Ready: Girlfriends Cyber Circuit features Gretchen McNeil & TEN!
Girlfriends Cyber Circuit features Gretchen McNeil & TEN!
And now, my interview with the lovely and hilarious Gretchen!!
Sadly, with TEN everything after the first page practically is a spoiler. I will say this – I usually write SHORT first drafts, so it's less about killing things and more about beefing them up.
"Kumiko immediately came to his defense. 'Oh yeah, Miss Brilliant?'" Brilliant. I like to think I am. Reality likes to remind me I'm not.
What's the most amazing book-related thing to happen to you in the last year?
Christopher Pike read, loved and blurbed TEN, then called me on the phone the day TEN released. Yeah, it doesn't get any better than that!
Meg talks to herself a lot. Tells herself to calm down, think logically, step back from a situation. That's me. Sometimes, people catch me having full, imaginary conversations with myself, complete with hand gestures and facial expressions. That's…embarrassing.
I'm an LA girl and I love to drive. Love.
We're one of the first generations of women to put off having families until well into our 30's and sometimes 40's.
Dorothy Parker. I feel like she and I would have been epic friends. And drinking buddies.
Thanks so much to Gretchen for stopping by, and BIG congrats on the new release!


Bobby Rydell was a teen idol before my time. I was around but just a baby when he had hits like :Wild One" and "Volare" in 1960 and "Forget Him" three years later. All three sold a million copies. Rydell had 19 Top 40 hits. Through the years he's made deep friendships from his childhood Philly friend Frankie Avalon, to his "Bye Bye Birdie" co-star Ann Margret and one of the greatest drummers in the word Buddy Rich. (Clip 003 – 1:53) Buddy Rich died in 1987 – he was 69.

Mountain benders ... always the best plan
Less than one week before the Ouray 100, Beat conceded that his hip pain wasn't improving, and he couldn't start this monstrous mountain race without jeopardizing his "A" races in Europe later this month. I sympathized with his decision but selfishly felt bummed for myself. Even though I'd already decided pacing wasn't in the cards (shallow breathing = no higher gears = too slow), I was looking forward to visiting Ouray, hanging out with punch-drunk hilarious runners and volunteers at aid stations, and hiking in the San Juans. Beat pointed out that the hotel room he'd already paid for was nonrefundable, and there was no reason I couldn't still do all of those things. I contacted the race director to volunteer for an aid station shift and made a plan — leave Boulder at 8 a.m. Thursday, return at 8 p.m. Sunday. That was 84 hours minus 16 hours of driving and 8 hours of volunteering, leaving 60 hours for hiking. Of course the dull necessities of sleeping and eating would have to cut into that limit.
The route between my house and Ouray is a solid seven hours without stops or traffic. Between the two points are steep and winding highways that traverse a swath of big mountains. I thought I could carve enough time out of Thursday to climb one of them. A quick glance at a map told me the trailhead to Mount Shavano was one of the closest en route. I made the calculations that I call "failure math" (the numbers one uses to justify backing out of big adventures, i.e. when's the latest I can leave? What's the slowest possible speed? What's my absolute cutoff?) I needed to arrive in Ouray before 9 p.m., or the hotel's front desk would close and I'd be locked out for the night. Stupidly, I did not bring any camping gear as a contingency plan.
Arriving at the trailhead around 12:15 p.m., failure math concluded that I had four hours to spare, with five hours as the absolute cutoff — but that would leave no leeway for traffic or slowdowns, no time to stop for dinner, and I'd still probably end up sleeping in the car. Dark clouds were already gathering over the valley. Could I tag Shavano in four hours? Nine miles round trip with 4,500 feet of climbing, at an altitude between 9,700 and 14,200 feet, weather iffy, trail technicality unknown? It seemed unlikely, and didn't really matter, but I hadn't yet visited a single fourteener since moving to Colorado. I was going to be at least a little disappointed if I didn't make it.
From the start I pegged my current maximum ability — heart pounding and wooziness building despite my best efforts not to breathe like a panicked child. I was unwilling to ease the lung-searing pace, but did bank on those dark clouds chasing me off the mountain and relieving me of this misery.
Although dark clouds continued to swirl in nearly every direction, the sky overhead was stunningly clear. My maximum pace is not impressive, but it is demanding. After two hours of marching into a narrowing tunnel, I arrived at a saddle. The summit was right there — although GPS informed me it was still a thousand feet over my head. "Well, I'll be faster on the descent," I reasoned (all of my history with steep mountains has revealed that this is almost never true.) "It's only about a half mile away" (and 1,000 feet of climbing.) "Ah, who cares if I have to sleep in the car." Summit fever had taken hold.
Have you ever attempted to rush yourself at 14,000 feet, when your body already operates at oxygen debt in the best of situations? I was borderline euphoric, head spiraling into the clouds as an invisible weight pressed into my chest and legs. The rapture of the deep ... or high. Delirium set in. I slumped down to use my knuckles for balance. I do remember leaving the boulder stair-step trail and crawling directly up larger rocks because that seemed easier. Somehow I managed to stagger to the summit register box without incurring a head injury. I acknowledged the official top with 2:40 on my watch. I took five seconds to look north toward the ripple of Sawatch fourteeners and smiled. Then I looked south toward Salida and the stunningly dark clouds that were moving toward the peak. Time to go.
I managed the descent fairly well, although the ankle that I rolled while hiking on Monday was throbbing with occasional shooting pains. I feared a tendon would snap at any moment, but the threat of lightning felt riskier, so I continued making small, swift steps with unsure footing on an unstable ankle. As I dropped below treeline, the sky grew so dark that I considered taking out my headlamp. At the very moment that I stumbled back to my car with 4:45 on the watch, the clouds unleashed an incredible deluge. The entire car shook underneath sheets of rain. The windshield wipers had no chance against the barrage, so I'd just have to wait it out. Ten minutes later, I was creeping forward in still-heavy rain, squinting through the blur of droplets to find the road. I managed to take a wrong turn and didn't realize this until the track had narrowed to a single lane and dropped into an impossibly steep and rocky drainage. Carefully I managed an eight-point U-turn and fretted that the Subaru Outback would never make it up this rock-crawler of a road. Incredibly it did, with patience and one frantic gunning of the gas at the top (it was so steep that I feared Subaru would tip over backward. I know this isn't possible on that grade, but panicked anyway.)
On a mechanical note, three days later the anti-lock brake system went on the fritz. Beat asked me about my trip and I said "100 percent pavement" ... conveniently forgetting about the Shavano adventure. The ABS failed several days after the fact and I don't think the incidents were related, but perhaps.
The deluge continued as I turned onto Highway 50 and made my way toward Monarch Pass, where precipitation turned to violent hail, and then something like graupel, and then ice pellets mixed with snow. Snow! On August 3! The car thermometer read 34 degrees and the pavement was extremely icy. A truck towing a trailer in front of me was fishtailing all over the lane, luckily moving slowly enough to regain control. I slowed down to give him a wide berth, only to have my own wheels slip out when I pressed the gas again. My thoughts were: "Well, I'm glad I'm off Shavano." "Why is it that I can't take a long road trip without sitting in traffic during a scary winter storm? It's August for crying out loud." And, "There goes my time margin. Guess I'm sleeping in the car."
The weather cleared and traffic thinned. By the time I drove through Gunnison, the temperature was back up to 68 degrees. Colorado, sheesh. There may have been a tiny bit of speeding outside Montrose to reach Ouray at 8:50 p.m., with ten minutes to spare. After finishing my hike seconds before the rain, I have to say my timing was impeccable on this day ... winter storm notwithstanding.
In the morning I set out on the Ouray 100 course, about two hours after the race started. I hoped to see some of the runners on their return trip (the course consisted of a number of out-and-backs, a convoluted design that was necessary to stay out of wilderness areas, and also to generate the maximum amount of climbing possible — 41,000 feet in 100 miles.)
Admittedly I was blindly following a GPS track and didn't realize the first ten miles of the race were largely on a heavily trafficked gravel road. I wouldn't have chosen this route for a hike if I'd known — but I did choose it. I tried not to be grumpy about the traffic as I strolled up the road, enjoying the scenery and cheering for runners.
Before I left not-early in the morning, there may have been some sweeping pipe dreams about checking out the route to Mount Sneffels — which I knew to include quite a bit of "easy" class 3 scrambling — "if the weather held." By 11 a.m. the dark clouds were pronounced and I already knew this wasn't to be, but figured I could do some exploring above treeline in Yankee Boy Basin. I'd barely surpassed 11,000 feet when the sky unleashed a barrage of hail. It was awful. Admittedly I was a bit smug about dealing with the weather because I hadn't yet heard thunder, and "don't care about cold rain or snow" because I had a ton of gear in my backpack. But hail. It was near nickel-sized, and felt like standing directly underneath a front-end loader as it dumped a pile of gravel. I ducked beside the largest tree nearby — it was only about as tall as me — and crouched into a ball to let my back take the abuse. This is how I was found and rescued by a very nice family from Lubbock, Texas, who drove past in a truck that looked like it had just been through a winter storm.
"It's much worse up there," the wife said when I told her I was hiking toward the basin. "You really should get in. Don't worry, we have kids. We're not serial killers."
This is how I came to embark on a gold-panning adventure with a Texan and his teenage son. It was still raining hard and the temperature was 42 degrees, but they were determined to pick up some quality ore from the defunct Lady Bird Mine.
The venture required a crossing of Sneffels Creek, which was swift-flowing and thigh deep on the far side of the bank. We spent about 45 minutes exploring the mine, and upon return, the continuing heavy rain had raised water levels another several inches. The increased flow was enough to make the crossing feel very treacherous, with chocolate-milk-colored water pushing against my butt cheeks. The three of us were holding onto each other and moving against the current in the diagonal formation that increases safety, but I already harbor an irrational fear of water, and struggled mightily to hold myself together. My thoughts were: "These Texans are going to kill me." "I should have taken my chances with the hail." "I'm going to die. I'm going to die."
Before the horrifying stream crossing that I obviously survived, I did have fun exploring the mine. I couldn't find much information online about "Lady Bird Mine" and am not certain it isn't just a part of the still-operating Camp Bird Mine. The Texan informed me that this, like many old Colorado mines, was home to hundreds of people in the late 1800s, and mainly produced gold and silver. Miners processed the ore with cyanide, creating an environmental disaster that still scars the landscape. The Texan collected chunks of quartz as we clawed our way up the steep hillside. I mostly wandered around the ruins and tried not to step on old nails, although I wasn't too worried because I was wearing my "big" Hokas (Stinson ATR.)
As the sky cleared, we could see accumulated hail on Sneffels. Yeah, it's good I didn't attempt that one. After the hailstorm, exploring the mine in the rain, and the butt-deep creek crossing, my core temperature dropped and didn't improve during the ride down. By the time the nice family dropped me off in Ouray, I was a shivery mess and couldn't even cope. A hot shower probably would have helped, but instead I put on the down pants and coat that I brought for the overnight aid station stint, curled up in bed, and went to sleep.
By the time I woke up it was 6 p.m., still raining hard, and I felt awful ... both from the mild hypothermia and the nap. The only cure for hypothermia hangover is more hiking, clearly. I chose the Red Mountain Loop on the race course because I figured it would be safe in this weather. On my way out, I just happened to run into Eszter coming into the aid station. (Although the race had tracking, I wasn't able to follow it closely because I had no cell reception and limited Internet access. So as it turns out, timing the hiking while crewing for Beat wouldn't have been easy.) The Ouray 100 was Eszter's first 100-mile foot race. Given the gnarly design of the course — easily one of the more difficult 100-milers in North America — most would consider this an audacious first attempt. But with her endurance racing resume, I think few would doubt her chances. She seemed to be crushing it, although I didn't have any context due to lack of tracking.
Since it was too early in the race for runners to have "pacers," I only chatted for a few minutes and left her alone. After this I felt more bummed that Beat wasn't here — not only because he would have loved this particular race, but also because spectating is more meaningful when shared. If I wanted an ideal hiking vacation, I could have done a solo backpacking trip. Clearly I came to Ouray and chose to follow the race course. A strong emotional drive keeps pulling me toward endurance racing. I question this constantly, but answers are elusive.
This Red Mountain Loop became my favorite hike of the week. There were objectively better ones — longer, more scenic, more adventurous, better weather. This one was an understated gem, though — eight miles, mostly on jeep roads, circling "Red Mountain Number One," which is, in fact, a dazzling shade of red.
In the clearing skies I caught a glimpse of the moon rising over the giants of the San Juans. I shuffled through the iPod to listen to the Radical Face song that I've adopted as a sort of theme song for my year so far ...
"climb up the moonlight, ground beneath me ... 'til I find myself all wrapped up in the fog above the world."
My thoughts on this hike drifted toward musings about identity, and how one's sense of self can be as fleeting as the seconds our experiences occupy. I identify with being a writer, an endurance athlete, or an adventure enthusiast, but there was a time that I was none of these things. And I'm not the same person I was when I adopted these characteristics. Change is constant, even from within. At no moment am I the "me" that I'm always going to be, nor will there ever be such a moment. No one remains static. We will never "find ourselves." We will never "reach our destiny." Choices take us in unexpected directions, perspectives shift, emotions expand and fade, and memories ripple outward until we die. Until then, identity is just an figment of the present — that moment so fleeting that by the time we've perceived it, it's already passed.
"You are not you, you are a mirror. You only work when you're the same."
Yes, I suppose I've again found myself hiking and listening to Radical Face, thinking about life beyond the adventure pursuits that defined my past decade. Of course the alarming state of the world and fears for the future always come into play during these musings. This time, however, instead of dread, I felt this bizarre surge of excitement. "My body sort of turned on me already and I'm only 37. Politics are ridiculous and I've lost faith in my country, like a child who finally realizes that her parents don't know everything. The world's climate may change dramatically in my lifetime ... if there isn't nuclear war first. My hair is falling out and I hope it stops. But wow, this place — the jagged mountains, the violet sky, the fog creeping up the valley. The air tastes sweet, like autumn. This is now and in a second it will change. So this moment is either nothing or everything. I choose everything. Just this moment and nothing more. Why does there need to be anything more?
"I'm not awake; I am not sleeping ... as I walk along the in-between of everything come and gone."
At the high point on the loop, I stopped for a few minutes to chat with runners who were working their way around the loop in the opposite direction. I learned they were about 31 miles — and 12 hours — into the race. A guy with a bunch of tattoos pointed to a dirt road winding up a slope on the far side of the valley and said, "isn't that the top?" and didn't seem to believe me when I told him otherwise. A Japanese man spoke in broken English — "mountains. Many, many mountains." Fog enveloped us and then moved on again. The last hints of daylight faded. Moments rolled forward. I envied the journey these guys were experiencing. These endeavors have a way of tearing you apart and forcing you to choose how to put yourself back together. You surprise yourself, sometimes, with the choices you make. Moments roll forward, perspectives change. These runners wouldn't be quite the same at the end of their race, regardless of the outcome. But then again, I suppose, neither would I.
It was dark by the time I started downhill. My headlamp was dim because the batteries were nearly dead — rookie mistake. I actually had spares, because I over-prepare for most contingencies. But instead of stopping to change them, I decided to try to cover the four miles before the light went out, which required running. Loping downhill on my sore ankle, with rain pelting my face, barely able to distinguish the road from the surrounding forest, I felt free. It was a frenetic kind of freedom, as though my 17-year-old self had re-emerged to take the wheel for a few moments. She wasn't a runner or athlete in even the most basic sense, but she did relish the exhilaration of darkness, and she was secure in her sense of invincibility, ignorant of dangers. Sometimes I almost believe I'm reaching into the past, but these are just illusive memories. That self doesn't exist anymore, not even on a cellular level. The realization does bring sadness.
When I returned to the aid station, I was bursting with energy. I wanted to run 100 miles, but was again aware that my current conglomeration of cells doesn't have the stamina. Not even two months have passed since I tried and failed at the Bryce 100. I'm frustrated with my body, made apparent by the way I cringe when I look at my reflection in the mirror (before leaning in to examine my scalp for bald spots.) I know I still have a lot to be grateful for, and life is good. I become frustrated with my frustration. The best way to surmount frustration is to flow with the moments, when I can. There are still all the memories ... there are still all the moments of pure joy ... and there are still plans for the future, or at least there's a hope to gain a semblance of control amid the relentless current. And of course there were still all the runners pressing into the night, perhaps glancing up at the moon and embracing the exhilaration and torment of time.
(I have even more photos from yet more hikes last weekend, but this post is already going quite long. I guess it will have a part 2.)

Congrats on your first CO 14er! I think you can now officially count yourself a Coloradoan. I definitely notice a precipitous drop-off in my ability to make upwards progress around 13,500 ... it becomes like a trudge through molasses in winter.
Feedback is always appreciated!

Intel Predicts GTA V Will Hit PCs Soon
By Brett Slabaugh Legacy Author October 8, 2013
Intel doesn't seem worried about the console exclusivity of Grand Theft Auto V, hypothesizing that it'll make its way to PC platforms soon enough.
While console gamers have been busy managing their Grand Theft Auto V criminal empires for the past few weeks, PC players haven't been able to do much more than watch from the sidelines. There's no PC version of the game and no port announced, but Intel's Chris Silva believes that it won't be too long before Rockstar's latest title finds itself on PC rigs. His reasoning? The PC market is simply too large to pass up.
"I think it hurt Halo overall," Silva said regarding Microsoft's plan to keep the Halo series exclusive to consoles. "At least with Grand Theft Auto I don't think it'll be a console exclusive very long. But that's what happens when you have a brand new launch with two companies that have lots of money trying to make sure they have content."
After Grand Theft Auto IV was released in April 2008, it was ported to PC before the end of the year. Rockstar hasn't announced any plans to do something similar with GTA V, but Silva theorizes that the developer is keeping that quiet for a reason. "Somebody paid a lot of money to make sure that title was exclusive," he says.
It makes sense that Intel would have faith in the strength of the PC ecosystem, but does Rockstar share that belief? There's certainly money to be made from PC gamers, but I'll wait for official word from Rockstar before I start upgrading my gaming rig to prepare for Los Santos.

What is Git?
Git is a distributed version management system that is free and open source. It is intended to manage modest to huge jobs quickly and efficiently. It is designed to help developers coordinate their efforts. We can track and collaborate with our team members at the same workplace thanks to version control.
Although Git is the backbone of several services such as GitHub and GitLab, we may utilize Git without needing any other Git services. Git is a tool that may be used both privately and publically.
Linus Torvalds founded Git in 2005 to help build the Linux kernel. It is also a critical distributed version-control tool for DevOps.
Git is simple to use and has a quick performance. It outperforms competing SCM tools such as Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase.
Benefits of Git
A version control tool helps us to keep track of all the changes we make to our project's files. We can push updates to a repository every time we make modifications to files in an existing project. Other developers can grab your modifications from the repository and continue working with the adjustments you made to the project files.
It saves time.
Git is a cutting-edge technology. Each command takes only a few seconds to perform, so we may save a significant amount of time when compared to logging onto a GitHub account and exploring its capabilities.
Working While Not Connected
One of the most significant advantages of Git is that it allows for offline work. Our work will not be hampered if we have internet connectivity problems. We can perform practically anything locally in Git. Other CVS, such as SVN, are more constrained and prefer to link to a central repository.
Correct Errors
Another advantage of Git is the ability to undo errors. Undo may sometimes be a lifesaver for us. Almost everything in Git has an undo option.
Keep Track of the Changes
Git has several fascinating capabilities such as Diff, Log, and Status, which allow us to log changes and compare our files or branches.
What is GitHub?
GitHub is a service for hosting Git repositories. Many of GitHub's features, including as access control and collaboration, also help. It has a graphical user interface that is accessible over the Internet.
GitHub is a firm based in the United States. It holds your project's source code in several programming languages and maintains track of the many modifications performed by programmers.
It supports Git's distributed version control and source code management (SCM). It also provides various collaboration tools for each project, such as issue tracking, feature requests, and task management.
GitHub is divided into two parts: the Git and the Hub. Access restrictions, as well as collaborative tools such as task management, repository hosting, and team administration, are available through the GitHub service.
The following are the main advantages of using GitHub:
GitHub makes it simple to contribute to open source projects.
It aids in the creation of a good paper.
You may attract recruiters by displaying your work. You will have a better chance of being hired if you have a GitHub profile.
It allows your work to be seen by the general audience.
Changes in your code may be tracked between versions.
GitHub is a collaborative workspace for programmers and designers. They work together to cooperate, contribute, and fix issues. It offers a large number of open source projects and codes written in various programming languages.
The following are some of its key characteristics.
Tracking issues and bugs in one place
Branches represented graphically
Hosting for Git repositories
Management of a group
Hosting of code
Keep track of and assign duties

Git Terminology
Git is a program with a lot of language and jargon, which may be confusing for new users or those who already know the basics but want to become Git masters. As a result, we require a brief explanation of the vocabulary used by the tools. Let's have a look at some of the most regularly used terminologies.
@mention
Type @ before the username of the person you want to notify on GitHub. Members of a team on GitHub can also be other GitHub users.
When utilizing the command line or API to perform Git actions over HTTPS, a token is utilized in place of a password. Referred to as a personal identification token.
API preview
New APIs and improvements to existing API methods can be tested before they are rolled out to all users.
In the ideal world, an application with just enough operating system (JeOS) would be able to run on industry-standard hardware (such as a computer server or virtual machine).
Whoever is allocated to work on a specific issue
authentication code
Your GitHub password and this code are required when using two-factor authentication (2FA). To receive this code, you must use an app or have SMS texted to your phone to generate it. Another name for it is a "2FA authentication code."
base branch
A pull request you've merged into your branch has been updated. Make use of the ability to change the repository's default branch when submitting a pull request.
A technique of authentication in which the credentials are sent in plain text.
The following is an example of a profile's visitor-generated description: Incorporating a short biography into your online presence
billing cycle
The length of time you've selected for your billing cycle.
A business' email address is used by GitHub to send receipts, credit card and PayPal charges, and other billing-related communications.
The member of an organization who is in charge of a company's billing setup.
billing plan
Invoices with a predetermined set of characteristics for individuals and companies.
The feature "blame" in Git displays the revision, author, and time of the most recent change to each line of a file. Finding out when a feature was added or which commit resulted in a specific bug is made easier with this information.
To prevent a user from being able to collaborate on the organization's repositories.
Repositories can be broken down into sub-repositories known as branches. Allows you to operate without interfering with the "live" version, which is contained in the repository but not affected by it. It's time to merge your branch into the main one once you've finished your changes.
branch restriction
Repository administrators have the ability to restrict which users or teams can push or make changes to a branch by enabling this restriction.
Unlimited repositories, the ability for your organization's users to authenticate to GitHub using SAML SSO, and provision and deprovision access via SAML or SCIM are all included in this plan.
CA certificate
Certificate Authority (CA) issued digital certificates verifying connections between machines, such as GitHub.com and a user's PC, as well as the site's ownership.
An issue or pull request is represented by a movable square on a project board.
A check on GitHub is a form of status verification. "Status checks" can be found there.
Working on two different branches of the same file is simple with git checkout [branchname] [path to file]. While performing "checkout," the working tree and its index and head are substituted for a single item or blob in the object database that points to a new branch.
cherry-picking
Changes are recorded in a new codebase, and a new set of changes is made to the bigger set of changes (often commits). Changes introduced by an existing commit on another branch can be extracted and recorded as new commits using the git cherry-pick command in Git. For additional information on git-cherry-pick, go to the Git documentation.
child team
Access rights and @mentions are passed down from the parent team to the child team inside a layered structure.
If a working tree matches the current HEAD revision, it's clean. In addition, "filthy" can be found here.
Cloning is the process of moving data from one area to another, such as a computer's hard disk. You don't need to be online to edit the files in your preferred editor and keep track of your changes with Git. In order to maintain synchronization between your local changes and the remote repository, you can do so as long as you're connected to the internet.
GitHub Enterprise services can be distributed among multiple nodes and requests can be distributed among them.
code frequency graph
In a repository graph, each week's material additions and removals are displayed.
A document outlining the requirements for joining a group.
code owner
Person assigned the responsibility of maintaining a certain area of source code within a repository. Pull requests that modify code that belongs to the code owner (and are not in draft mode) immediately trigger a review request to the code owner.
Someone who has been invited to contribute to a repository as a collaborator has been granted read and write access to the repository.
A "commit" or "revision" is a single change to a file (or set of files). Using Git's unique ID, you can keep track of the particular changes made to your work, as well as when they were made and by whom (sometimes called a "SHA" or "hash"). When making a new commit, a commit message provides a brief description of the changes that were made.
commit author
An application's committer is the person who makes the final call.
A graph showing the number of commits made to a repository over the past year.
commit ID
Also abbreviated as SHA. A checksum hash of 40 characters that identifies the commit.
Following a commit, use succinct, detailed wording to convey the change made as a result of the commit.
compare branch
Pull requests are created from the branches in which they are located. Comparing this branch to its parent can reveal any differences in the pull request. In order to apply the modifications from the compare branch to the base branch, a pull request must be merged into the main branch. The "head branch" of a pull request is another name for it.
CI is another name for it. An automated build and test procedure is launched when someone contributes changes to a GitHub repository. In software development, continuous integration (CI) is a standard best practice for spotting errors early on.
contribution graph
The day-by-day breakdown of a user's contributions over the course of a year.
Documentation of the ways in which others can assist you in your endeavor.
If you want to know what constitutes "contribution" on GitHub, there are a few specific actions you can take: - Add "Contribution activity" actions to the timeline of a user's profile.
A person who contributes to a project but does not have collaborator access to the repository is considered a contributor if their pull request was accepted and uploaded to the project.
contributors graph
The top 100 contributors to the repository are shown in a graph.
GitHub offers a discount code that can be used to pay for all or a portion of a user's or organization's GitHub subscription.
A time-based work scheduler is used in operating systems similar to Unix.
It is used in commands or scripts to transport data.
Your activities on GitHub are organized around your personal dashboard. From your own dashboard, you can visit your favorite repositories and team sites, track the bugs and pull requests you're working on, and learn about recent activity in the repositories you're watching or participating in. Additionally, you can discover new repositories by following the individuals you follow and staring the ones you prefer. Examine your organization's dashboard to see only actions pertaining to your organization. Additional information is available under "About your personal dashboard" or "About your organization dashboard."
The primary branch in a git repository from which fresh pull requests and code contributions can be made. When a repository is created, Git automatically produces at least one branch. The main branch is sometimes referred to as just "the first one," but there are other names for it, such as "the default."
dependents graph
A public repository dependency graph shows all the packages, projects, and repositories that are dependent on it.
A visual representation of the dependencies of the repository's packages and projects.
deploy key
The deploy key on your server is an SSH key that enables you access to a single repository of your choice. Rather of being associated with the user's personal account, this key is associated with the repository.
detached HEAD
Your commits will not be displayed in the commit history when you are working on a detachable HEAD, because Git isn't pointing to a branch at that time. Using a "detached HEAD" means, for example, checking out a commit that is not part of any specific branch's most recent commit.
Uncover how to set up and manage an enterprise-level GitHub infrastructure in this quick guide.
A diff is a comparison of the changes made between two commits or changes saved to the repository. By inspecting the diff, you may determine what modifications have been done to a file since the last commit.
When changes are made to a working tree but not yet reflected in the current branch, it is referred to as "dirty."
Email is used to provide notifications to the user's inbox.
enterprise account
It's possible to administer many GitHub.com organizations from a single account. GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Server both offer enterprise accounts. See "About business accounts" for further details.
A "graphical interactive in-browser GraphQL integrated development environment."
As the name implies, you're "merging" changes from one branch that is a descendent of the revision you currently have into your current branch via a fast-forward merge. A new merging commit is not required in this instance; instead, simply update to the most recent version. On a regular basis, this will occur on the remote-tracking branch of a remote repository.
feature branch
A non-production branch is used to evaluate a new feature or fix a problem. Often referred to as a topical subdivision.
fenced code block
Adding triple backticks "' before and after a code block in GitHub Flavored Markdown creates an indented chunk of code. An example is shown below.
Fetching changes from a remote repository into your local working branch without committing them to the remote repository is what happens when you use the git fetch command. You can check changes before they are committed to your local branch by fetching them.
following (users)
To keep abreast on the contributions and activity of other users.
force push
Any local modifications are applied to the remote repository, even if there are conflicts.
You can think of it as an individual copy of another user's repository that you've made for your own use on GitHub. With forks, you can make changes to a project without relying on the source code. In order to keep your fork up to date with the most recent modifications, you can open a pull request in the upstream repository.
A billing option for free user accounts. Users have an unlimited number of repositories and collaborators available to them.
Gists are GitHub files that can be edited, cloned, and forked. A gist can be made public or private, and private gists are accessible to anybody with the URL.
Git is a free and open-source text file version control system. Linus Torvalds, the developer of Linux, founded it, and it serves as the foundation for GitHub's social and user interface components.
GitHub App
The services provided by GitHub Apps, which operate under their own independent identities, can benefit an entire organization. Organizations and individual user accounts can be allowed access to certain repositories by installing them directly on their accounts. Granular permissions and linked webhooks are standard features.

The entire Git repository and its meta data may be found in a single place. A git file that is always at the top of the root directory of a working tree. To analyze this file for your repository, use the command line git rev-parse —git-dir. That, my dear friends, is the genuine reservoir.
It includes a query language for APIs as well as a runtime environment for running those searches on your existing datasets.
The final commit at the end of the trailing branch of a branch.
head branch
A pull request is a request to incorporate changes from this branch into your main branch. The "comparison branch" is also called the "comparison department" at times.
A "Hello, World!" software displays or generates the message "Hello, World!" Because of its ease of use, this program is frequently used to explain the core syntax of a programming language and to get students started learning new programming languages.
The uninterrupted operation of a system or component throughout time.
Many Git functions have optional scripts that developers can use to enhance functionality or double-check their work. Hooks are commonly used to do pre-verification and potential abort of a command, as well as post-notification once the action is accomplished.
The network address of a device is coupled with a human-readable name.
identicon
When you sign up with GitHub, you will be given an automatically produced profile image. A photo of the user can be used in place of the identicon.

In the GitHub Enterprise interface, there is a section titled "Administration."
It is similar to.doc,.rtf, or.txt in appearance, however it is a very simple semantic file format. Even if you have no prior experience with web publishing, Markdown simplifies the process of generating material that looks like a website. GitHub uses GitHub Flavored Markdown, a platform-supported Markdown variant. See the GitHub Flavored Markdown Spec or Getting Started with Writing and Formatting on GitHub for more information on these options.
Annotation and formatting software for documents.
The principal development path. When you create a repository, Git produces a "main" branch by default. This, however, is a matter of habit and does not necessitate the inclusion of local growth.
This is a common starting place for new Git projects. When a new Git repository is established using the command line, the default branch is Master. The default branch has been renamed by a number of tools. For example, when you create a new repository on GitHub, the default branch is named main.
members graph
This graph displays a repository's forks.
The @ sign denotes that a notification is being sent to a particular user. Users on GitHub can join a team and be listed as a member.
Merging is the process of merging changes from one branch into another, whether the branches are in the same repository or forks. The most common method of merging is through "pull requests" (or "command line merge"). Merging can be done using the GitHub.com web interface's pull request feature as long as there are no competing modifications.
merge conflict
A difference that results from the union of two branches. For example, two people can alter the same line of code in two different files at the same time, resulting in merge conflicts. The merge conflict must be resolved before joining the branches.

You may remain up to date on the issues that interest you by subscribing to updates through email or the web.
OAuth App
Passwords are not required to access user information from a third-party app.
OAuth token
It is used in OAuth Apps to gather information about the people who use them.
outside collaborator
A user now has access to one or more repositories within an organization. The user, however, is not a member of the organization and has no other access to it.
There are numerous flavors of open source software. This type of software can be used, modified, and shared by anybody. Working documents are posted online for anyone to fork, change, discuss, and contribute to. This collaborative method is now frequently referred to as "open source."
Organizations in the actual world are made up of two or more persons. They are made up of two or more people. Both repositories and teams can exist in the same organization.
organization owner
Users who have complete control over the firm they run.
The default repository of Upstream. As a backup, many projects keep track of at least one other project in the background. If you do not make a modification, Origin will be used.
Organizational members who are in control of everything.
parent team
In nested teams, parent teams inherit access rights and @mentions from their parent teams.
participating notifications
Your username or team was mentioned in an issue or pull request, or you previously commented on it, and you received a notification about an update to that conversation.
A persistent link to a certain website.

GitHub uses this email address as the primary point of contact for receipts, credit card charges, and other billing-related correspondence.
pinned repository
One's profile page, where they have chosen to prominently feature a repository.
pre-receive hooks
Quality control scripts for GitHub Enterprise.
private contributions
Contributions to private repositories are ones that are not made publicly available.
private repository
Private repositories are accessible only to the repository owner and collaborators that the repository owner designates.
production branch
It's a branch that has undergone all of the necessary modifications and is ready to go into production.
On GitHub, this is where you can view a user's contribution history.
Users can provide an image that includes their activity and username to be displayed on GitHub. Aside from that, this is referred to as an avatar.
A GitHub board is a collection of problems, pull requests, and notes organized into columns of cards.
protected branch
Numerous Git functionalities are disabled on a branch that has been tagged as "protected" by the repository administrator. The GitHub web interface cannot be used to force push, remove, or merge revisions that have failed obligatory checks, nor can it be used to add files to it using the GitHub website. Almost always, the default branch is a protected branch.
public contributions
Contributions to a publicly accessible repository (as opposed to a private one).
Both GitHub users and non-GitHub users can access a public repository.
The process of fetching and integrating changes is known as "pulling." For instance, you'll want to include any modifications made to the remote file on which you and your teammate are now working. Fetch is a similar expression.
pull access
The term "read access" has a synonym.
Users submit pull requests to a repository, which are either authorized or refused by contributors to the repository. Like bugs, each pull request has its own discussion thread.
pull request review
Contributors' comments may approve or recommend additional changes before a pull request is merged.
pulse graph
A repository graph depicting the actions of a repository.
punch graph
A graph showing how frequently a repository is updated on a daily and hourly basis.
You must first commit your modifications to a local repository on your computer before you can "push" a repository to GitHub.com. For example, if you make a local change, you can upload it to the cloud and make it visible to others.
push a branch
When you successfully push your local branch to a remote repository, the remote repository's branch is updated with the changes from your local branch. When you "push a branch," Git searches the remote repository for the branch's HEAD ref and verifies that it is an ancestor of the branch's local HEAD ref. After validating that all objects available from the local HEAD ref but not in the remote repository have been added to the remote object database, Git changes the remote HEAD ref. The push fails if the remote HEAD is not a direct ancestor of the local HEAD.
push access
The ability to write to a file is a synonym for the concept of being able to write to a file.
read access
Those with this level of access can read and write to the repository. All GitHub users have access to all of the public repositories. The term "pull access" has been renamed.
A text file contains information on the files in your repository. This is likely to be noticed by a visitor to your repository as soon as they land on your page. Setting expectations and coordinating contributions for your project are made easier by using README files and other files such as repository licenses and contribution guidelines (and a code of conduct).
When the modifications in a branch are applied to a new base, the branch's HEAD is changed to reflect the changes in the new base.

As well as any forks made by other users. You'll find all of your source code in this directory.
Using another GitHub Enterprise server to backup a primary GitHub Enterprise instance.
To utilize GitHub efficiently, you must first create a repository. It's easiest to think of them as project folders. All of the project's files (including documentation) may be located in a single location, together with a record of the changes made to each file. Many people can contribute to repositories, which can be public or private.
repository cache
Make a read-only copy of your GitHub Enterprise repository for teams and continuous integration clients to use.
repository graph

Requirements for evaluations Collaborators should be able to make modifications to a protected branch only after it has been reviewed at least once.
required status check
Before collaborators can make changes to a protected branch, continuous integration tests must pass.
The act of resolving issues that developed as a result of a failed automatic merge.
To undo the merging commit from the prior merge pull request, create a new pull request on GitHub with a single commit. To undo past Git commits, use the git revert command.
Anyone with access to your repository can evaluate the pull request and comment on, approve, or offer additional edits before it is merged.
The root directory of a hierarchical system.
root filesystem

A call to an API made by a bot that is not associated with any particular user. As an example, consider a software that runs on a regular basis and repairs faults that have been overlooked for a long time. In a firm with a restricted number of licenses for GitHub applications, a server-to-server bot does not consume one of your GitHub licenses because these applications do not require a GitHub account. To retrieve a token for a server-to-server request, the GitHub API is used. For more details, see "user-to-server request."
service hook
Another term for this is a "webhook." An external web server can be notified whenever a specific activity occurs in a repository or organization using webhooks.
SSO in abbreviated form. Individuals can use IdPs to sign in once and access a variety of services.
At a given point in time, a virtual machine has a checkpoint.
Committing to a single project out of a slew of smaller ones. This paragraph also includes a Git command as an extra bonus.
A strategy for identifying yourself is to send a secret message to an online server. A machine has its own password to access another service, just as if it had its own unique code. GitHub uses SSH keys to securely transport data to your system.
staging instance
Test your changes before publishing them to your real-world company account on GitHub.
By including a pull request with an image, you demonstrate that you have satisfied the standards of the repository to which you are contributing.
status checks
When you add a new change to a repository, an external activity, such as a continuous integration build, is launched automatically. More information on this can be found in the section under "About status checks."
A recall of a place you've been to or a means to convey your enthusiasm for it. It is possible to manually rank the popularity of projects by awarding a fixed number of stars to each one.
It could be either one's or another's GitHub project.
This is a group of people in your company or group who have access to and can comment on your material.
team maintainer
Members of an organization have restricted access that can be utilized by organization owners to manage teams.
Allows you to have an infinite number of repositories for your business, both public and private.
Events that occur in a user's account or in a pull request.
topic branch
A developer will utilize a regular branch of the Git software to show where their work is going. In many circumstances, having a large number of smaller branches with well-defined concepts or tiny incremental changes that all work together is a wise approach. This particular sub-branch is also known as a "feature branch."
Using a repository's search function, you can look for projects to work on and discover new GitHub solutions.
traffic graph
It shows how many full clones (not fetches) a repository has had, how many visitors have come in the last 14 days, and what content was most popular during that time period.
The owner of the repository must be changed as part of the transfer process. The new owner may manage the repository's contents, issues, pull requests, releases, and configuration immediately after the transaction is done.
The phrase "upstream" refers to the primary branch of a branch or fork on the original repository, which serves as the primary source of new updates. The branch/fork on which you are presently working is referred to as downstream.' Also known as the start.
upstream branch
A default-branch, which receives the current branch's merged changes (or the branch in question is rebased onto). The system is set up using branches. <name>. A hybrid of the remote and the branch. When A's upstream branch is origin/B, we say "A is tracking origin/B."
Users are individuals who have a GitHub account. A user's profile is distinct, and they may have access to a variety of repositories, both public and private. They can form new groups or join existing ones, and they can even contribute to another user's repository.
A specific person's GitHub handle.
user-to-server request
An API request made by an application on behalf of a specific user. When a task requires user-to-server authentication, the user must use an app to mark it as completed on GitHub. For example, you may utilize third-party software to create an issue on GitHub on your behalf. A user-to-server request is constrained by both the application's and the user's rights and access to do specific activities. OAuth can be used to obtain a token for a user-to-server request. See "Identifying and authorizing users for GitHub Apps" for further details. For more details, see "server-to-server request."
visible team
A team that everyone in the organization can see and mention.
You can subscribe to a repository or issue to receive notifications when an issue or pull request is updated.
watching notifications
Notifications of activity in an online repository to which the user has subscribed.
Notifications can be accessed using the GitHub web interface at https://github.com/notifications.
You can use GitHub Webhooks to create or edit GitHub Apps in order to receive notifications of specific GitHub.com events. An external web server can be notified whenever a specific activity occurs in a repository or organization using webhooks. This style of hook is frequently referred to as a "service hook."
write access
Changes can be pushed (or written) to the repository by users with relevant permissions.

Q: Insert a blank page after current page I want to insert a blank page in a document so that the text would be added to the content of the current page till it reaches end of the page, the next page would be empty, and the text continue from the third page!
If I used \afterpage{\newpage} but it just does not work!
what should I do?

A: You should use the afterpage package.
In the preamble :
\usepackage{afterpage}

\newcommand\blankpage{%
    \null
    \thispagestyle{empty}%
    \addtocounter{page}{-1}%
    \newpage}

In the text before the blank page, insert the following code:
\afterpage{\blankpage}

It should do the trick. Be aware that unresolved floats might be a trouble here.

A: You just need something – anything – before or after the \newpage command. Try
\afterpage{\null\newpage}

Of course, this doesn't remove page numbers or headers and footers, and it does increase the page number. If you don't want this, see Martigan's solution.

A: Just use \newpage \ \newpage:
my current page

\newpage

\ % The empty page

\newpage

The next page

A: I think you can avoid using the afterpage package. In the preamble, write:
\def\blankpage{%
      \clearpage%
      \thispagestyle{empty}%
      \addtocounter{page}{-1}%
      \null%
      \clearpage}

In the document environment, use the \blankpage command to add blank pages without style or counting.

A: What's about
\leavevmode\thispagestyle{empty}\newpage

The planned Calistoga Hills Resort project sold to Foothill Land Acquisition, LLC in December last year. The property was owned by Jacqui Safra, a billionaire banker who also owns Spring Mountain Vineyard in St. Helena. The project, previously known as Enchanted Resorts, set a record as one of the highest "per key" hotel land sales in the country.
Land Acquisiton, LLC is a private investment arm of the Hong Kong-based Cheng family. According to Forbes magazine, Patriach Cheng Yu-tung, whose estimated net worth is said to be $12.7 billion, controls one of Hong Kong's largest conglomerates.
A story in the Registry, "Calistoga Hills Resort Sells for Nearly $80MM," confirms the sale price based on information from sources familiar with the transaction. As one of Napa Valley's last remaining large, untouched properties, it attracted interest from investors and developers around the world. The 88-acre mixed-use project is located in the foothills of Calistoga, just south of the intersection of Foothill Boulevard, Highway 29 and Lincoln Avenue.
The project is fully entitled for 110 hotel keys, 20 private villa residences and 13 estate homes. It's also located in my stomping grounds, which happens to be one of the nation's strongest hospitality markets with average nightly room rates in excess of $1,000.
Accordingly to city officials, Cheng's granddaughter, Sonia Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of the Rosewood Hotel Group and the overseer of the group's project management division, recently visited Calistoga to review the family's project. Upon completion, the Calistoga Hills Resort will be a one-of-a-kind project and known as a game changer for the luxury hotel market in Napa Valley.
If you are looking for a game changer in the form of buying or selling real estate in Napa Valley, contact me at 707-738-4820 or email [email protected]. I have all the information available on recent public and private sales in this area as well as access to some extraordinary wineries, vineyards, estates and homes in Napa, Yountville, Saint Helena and Calistoga that are not on the open market. The inventory is extraordinary right now and each and every property has spectacular views. I look forward to helping you buy or sell your property in this beautiful part of the world.

A deer sprints through the forest, crossing a wetland with hundreds of orchids in full bloom, but the barking call of the hunting dogs is never far. The royal hunters of the Duke of Bavaria are quickly closing in on their horses, and soon the deer is in shooting distance. The hunters span their crossbows, ready to aim. With a final effort, the deer reaches an oxbow lake, and leaps in. The hunters stop and watch the deer hurrying away, safe for another day. The panting dogs drink from the lake and the hunters head their tired horses home to their castle overlooking the Danube.
The Donauauwald Neuburg-Ingolstadt comprises the EU Flora-Fauna-Habitats Directive area 'Danube Floodplains with Gerolfinger Eichenwald' and parts of the Special Protection Area 'Danube Floodplain between the mouth of the Lech and Ingolstadt'. The entire region has preserved its special character as a dense riparian forest because of the protection by the former Dukes of Bavaria as a hunting area, where nature meets history.


We're interested in what songs or hymns you like to sing, and what new songs or hymns you would like us to try.
Remember, some songs are written as "solos" and are more difficult for congregational singing, so we may not be able to sing every suggestion.
1. What songs/hymns do you wish we would sing more often?
2. What new song/hymn do you suggest that we sing?

TORONTO — Ryerson University is set to launch a new Luxury Management initiative at its Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism Management. To kick off the announcement, the university hosted one of several scheduled events leading up to its program launch. The Luxury Management initiative is a natural extension of the university's existing leadership.
Earlier this week, as part of this launch, Katie Taylor, chair of RBC and former president and CEO of Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, was on hand as part of a breakfast at the Four Seasons Hotel Toronto, to talk about "The New Meaning of Luxury," and then to be part of a one-on-one interview with the school's Dean Daphne Taras.
As part of her introductory talk, Taylor stressed there's a new meaning of luxury, touching on her time at Four Seasons as providing a series of great lessons about luxury. "When Isadore Sharp launched the Four Seasons brand," she said, "he did it by focusing on one defining element: legendary service," adding that "great luxury is a science." Taylor said "When I was CEO, I never got a letter talking about the chandeliers or the marble in the bathroom; it was always about the service outcome. It's not a nice to do, it's a must have," she stressed. The chair of RBC went on to ask how do you institutionalize that kind of service. "The world of luxury is rising and spilling over so you have to have tools to ensure you [offer up luxury] flawlessly and routinely." Sometimes, she said, those tools include technology, which enables staff to better understand the customer's needs.


A map of Ukraine with the region of Crimea highlighted. The callout mentions that Crimea was transferred from Russia to Ukraine in 1954.
Remember that "imminent" Russian invasion of Ukraine that was supposed to take place over a year ago? Well, it's still "imminent"!
President Poroshenko has just announced that the Russians are about to undertake a "full-scale" invasion of his country and that therefore the military budget must be increased, while "traitors" who refuse to be drafted – and who persist in criticizing his government – must be dealt with harshly.
Then on December 20, 2013, it became the scene of an obscenity. A young woman, naked to the waist apart from a blue veil, marched to the altar and proceeded to enact an "abortion" using a calf's liver as a foetus. Then while screaming pro-abortion slogans she proceeded to urinate on the altar. After striking defiant poses for photographers she walked calmly back out.
This fact-filled article (source) is well worth studying carefully because it gives us an overall perspective of the criminality of the American government as it plunges the world ever closer to WWIII.
As the world grows increasingly concerned about the fighting in Ukraine, especially in the aftermath of a large bomb being detonated last night, former US Treasury official Dr. Paul Craig Roberts warned that the world is now on the cusp of total war.
At this time we do not know the outcome of the meeting in Moscow between Merkel, Hollande, and Putin.
Anyone who follows the news regularly, knows that the media has done everything in its power to smear Vladimir Putin and to demonize him as a tyrant and a thug. Fortunately, most people aren't buying it.
Russia is on the way up, America on the way down. Will Washington start a major new war in a desperate attempt to reverse its decline and deal a death blow to its increasingly confident competitor?
Will Putin Save The World From Israel?
Shortly after Vladimir Putin was elected president of Russia in 2000, the murdered family of Tzar Nicholas was beatified. Until quite recently, the centers of Jewish power had hoped to preserve some idealized memories of the murderous Soviet system in the minds of the Russians, but it turned out to be a vain hope.
