A Books That Matter Essay
The Fosse Style, by Debra McWaters, Foreword by Ben Vereen (University Press of Florida, 2008)
The Fosse Style (ISBN: 978-0-8130-3153-8)
"Dance as though no one was watching." When the opportunity to acquire books in dance can into my life, I tour jetté-d at the chance. What better way to express one's love for dance then through books for everyone?
I love the ballet and all of its force of emotion and music, but my heart is drawn to jazz dance, specifically, the dances and choreography of Mr. Bob Fosse, Mr. Jazz Hands himself. Now there was a man who knew how to break from the known, go to the edge with unflinching conviction, guided by a vision and style that remains unique and complete. His signature movements were so subtle yet so powerful in their expression, sensual in their delivery, cynical in their purpose, provocative in their meaning. Most people regard him as the guy behind Cabaret and Chicago, and those musicals do indulge in his singular style. But if you want to see classic Fosse, watch him as the Snake in "The Little Prince." It's like Robert Downey, Jr., as Tony Stark—only that man could play that part so well. Fosse simply was the snake. However, I am drawn to other works—The Pajama Game with Gwen Verdon dancing "Steam Heat," and the movie All that Jazz with the number "Bye-Bye Life." How many performers get to choreograph their final performance? Genius.
What bothered my editorial sensibilities though, were the Fosse knockoffs; those crass imitators who saw nothing more than hip thrusts and cocked wrists as Fosse-style. Here, in Bob Fosse as much as in the dances of Merce Cunningham and Twyla Tharpe, was the American jazz style. So was this magic to be lost simply because Fosse never had a dance company? Stars have had their careers made with his dance—Shirley MacLaine and Liza Minnelli still make his dances the center of their one-person shows. You know it when you see it, and, if you know it, you know when it is done badly. So the editor in me wanted to codify that style, capture that genie of technique and pedagogy in a Fosse-style bottle.
About four years after making my move to the University Press of Florida, a press with a strong list in music and dance, my chance arrived. The Carr Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Florida had booked the show Fosse!, a retrospective of Fosse's work created by Ann Reinking, a protégé and romantic partner of Fosse's, in collaboration with Gwen Verdon, his wife and mother of his daughter. The three-act musical is a marvelous tribute and a wonderful documentary of Fosse's evolution as a choreographer. Of course, I had contacted Ann Reinking about a book project, but she expressed no interest. I wanted to meet the person who was staging and directing the show—perhaps here was the author for my dream book. It turns out, in a surely serendipitous sign, that the dance director, Deb McWaters, was living in Tampa.
Deb and I hit it off immediately. We both shared the same vision and the need for a collaborative effort to preserve that which we both found precious and special in Fosse's work. Many issues needed to be fleshed out before we could begin with a proposal, however, much less a contract. Were the dances in copyright? Did Nicole Fosse, his daughter and artistic estate heir, own the trademark on his image, name and use? What was Reinking's role going to be? Did the estate of Gwen Verdon have any say? Was this going to be a legal nightmare like a book on Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley? Almost, almost…
First, we contacted Nicole Fosse. We received approval to do a book on the dance style of Fosse using the production Fosse! as the basis, but Reinking would have to pre-approve everything. Well, that made sense, and we proceeded with the estate's permission. But of course, things never go quite that easily. For reasons that are still unclear, Ann Reinking suddenly opposed the idea, stating that if anyone should do this book it should be her, an idea she had already declined once.
I wrote to the Fosse estate lawyers asking if the dance moves (not the choreography) were trademarked or copyrighted in anyway. In other words, was there anything preventing us from showing moves as being in the Fosse STYLE but not recreating any single Fosse dance in toto. The lawyers reluctantly agreed that we could proceed in this manner, but of course that meant no endorsement from either the family or Ann Reinking. This was the dilemma. Do we honor the wishes of the ex-girlfriend, or do we preserve for posterity that which was not going to be done otherwise, for it was evident that this denial of participation had a personal element in it. Deb, it appeared, had fallen out of favor and no longer was of the tribe. But Reinking made it quite clear that she had no intention of creating such a book herself or with Fosse's daughter. Posterity or publicity: that was the question.
We opted for posterity.

The book required defining Fosse's funky names for all of the moves and postures, then photographing dancers performing them. This was very challenging as Fosse's choreography is filled with small, subtle, nuanced, movements. Fosse once described himself as "turned in:" rounded shoulders, knocked-knees, and fallen insteps all lead Fosse to create a closed-up, tightly wound, style with bursts of unexpected openness and freedom. The signature wrist rolls are called the "Soft-Boiled-Egg Roll," and are to be performed as if holding an egg. Sequential photography to show the Fosse version of the Mosh Pit ("The Clump") and its variations the "amoeba" and "seaweed," the hat flip with fingers extended, and so on, were needed. Fosse's dancers are so highly stylized, yet you can see how easily a dancer can put their own mark on this choreography.
How to capture this? Dance is so visual, all mirrors upon mirrors, that dance technique is quite demanding to capture on film. We opted to use both male and female dancers, two of each, to demonstrate how personal the movements could be. Each movement was done in at least three sequential photos. The book was divided into body parts because that was how Fosse taught his classes. The book closes with a sequence of photographs from the earlier chapters that show how the moves can be put together into a Fosse-style dance. We really wanted to re-create "Bye, Bye, Blackbird," but the lawyers said "no." So we created a fake Fosse dance using Fosse-style moves. It worked brilliantly. Deb was able to capture in the narrative how necessary it was for dancers to perform a move perfectly AND improvise within the style, for the dancer to be utterly fearless because the first eight counts belong to them alone.
As we neared the end of both our budget ($1200 for the photography alone!) and our endurance, Ben Vereen called me out of the blue. Yes THAT Ben Vereen. He had heard about the book and offers to write a foreword. Hallelujah, the Fosse angels are here! The foreword is a loving tribute, and Deb is most gracious in her acknowledgements even to Reinking. Once final piece was needed: the essay or prologue that would place Fosse into the dance historical context. Why did this man's vision matter? What did he contribute? Dance critic and historian Mindy Aloff provided the prologue and we were done.
The book has done reasonably well, but it did not earn back its costs in Year One. It remains a solid if not stellar backlist contributor. But that was not the point. Deb, I, and all the dancers put into the written record, for all the ages, the genius that was Bob Fosse. That is so satisfying and rewarding. Because every time I walk into a big meeting or presentation I always think…

Countering fears that investors would turn their backs on financial advice in a post RDR world, nearly one third (28%) of UK financial advisory businesses have increased client numbers versus those that have experienced a contraction in the number of clients (16%) as a direct or indirect result of RDR, according to a survey of 150 UK financial advisers commissioned by Natixis Global Asset Management.
This continues a long term trend of growth in the demand for financial advice over recent years, which appears relatively uninterrupted by the introduction of RDR: over two thirds (67%) of UK financial advisory businesses have experienced growth over the past few years, with one in ten experiencing very strong growth, pointing to the high demand from UK savers to enlist professional, financial advice to help them reach their retirement income goals.
In line with this, UK financial advisers are confident that clients' current investments are able to grow portfolios to meet retirement income needs (91%) and provide steady income for clients in retirement (91%).
Furthermore, many UK financial advisers (76%) believe that the need for continued professional development, resulting from the recent implementation of RDR, has been a benefit to their business.
The survey, released by the NGAM Durable Portfolio Construction℠ Research Center, is part of a global study of 1,300 advisers in nine countries, over four continents.
As UK financial advisers look to build more durable portfolios that help their clients reach their retirement goals, they are specifically seeking investment strategies that manage risk, volatility and drive income. Risk is proving to be the most important factor, with nine in ten pursuing strategies that can manage this effectively; however strategies that combine all three – risk, volatility and income – are the ultimate goal with four out of five financial advisers agreeing that this is the case.
Despite UK financial advisers identifying the key factors they need to manage, on-going market volatility remains a problem, with over half (53%) citing that it is a challenge to deliver strong performance for their clients when markets are volatile. Specifically, achieving returns in a highly correlated market environment is proving difficult, with almost two thirds (62%) finding it tough to guide clients to positive returns.
As UK advisers battle with these investment challenges, along with clients that are conflicted between capital preservation and investment growth (79% of advisers agree that asset growth is increasingly becoming a priority for their clients, while 43% point out that investors are not willing to take on increased risk in order to gain these returns), it is understandable that the adviser community is divided in identifying a best practice approach to portfolio construction.
While many acknowledge that there needs to be a replacement of traditional diversification and portfolio construction techniques with new approaches to achieve results (44%), the balance still tips towards the status quo with a higher proportion (51%) of UK financial advisers favouring the traditional 60/40 equity/bond mix.
However, with 58% of survey respondents agreeing that portfolio construction is an area that they and their peers need more education, the investment management community needs to do more to ensure that advisers fully understand the broad range of options available to them.
Despite 63% of UK advisers discussing alternatives with their clients, over half of advisers (56%) believe that some products are too complex to explain, with 40% believing that a lack of supporting information/track record poses problems while trying to communicate to clients. As a result, less than one in four (23%) of UK advisers cite regularly using them across their client base.
It is the responsibility of the investment management industry to do more to help explain these seemingly complex investment strategies. Alternatives can play a key role in diversifying portfolios, as they are uncorrelated to the broader market, so it is essential that advisers and their clients are given further guidance as to how these asset classes can best be included in the asset allocation mix.
Despite RDR not impacting on business growth, there are elements of the regulation that are beginning to take their toll on the adviser community.
In particular, the greater administrative compliance obligations which accompany RDR are proving a strain on the UK financial adviser community (one in five have recruited people to counter the admin impact of RDR) and, on a global scale, the UK is revealed as spending almost double the amount of time as advisers in other countries dealing with the admin burden (UK spends 24.1 hours a month on admin, compared to only 12.9 hours for advisers in Europe, US, Asia and the Middle East).
As a knock on effect of this, UK financial advisers are being forced to spend less of their time meeting with prospective and existing clients. Advisers are keen to ensure that the majority of their time is spent on managing their clients' investment portfolios, in order to steer savers towards a fruitful retirement pot.
In order to meet retail investors' needs in the UK, NGAM launched its UK retail offering in January 2013, with the unveiling of a new UK Open-Ended Investment Company comprising a range of sub-funds from NGAM's underlying investment managers. Funds launched so far include the Morningstar Gold Rated Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund and the Loomis Sayles US Leaders Fund. The firm has an established presence in UK wholesale, with this specific vehicle for UK retail investors further emphasising its commitment to the market.

A couple of our tomato plants have succombed to some sort of wilty rot.
After exhaustive research, I've deduced that the culprit is a fungus called fusarium oxysporum that lives in the plant's vascular system.
I've not been over or under-watering my plants, another common cause of the yellowing leaves. So, as one site instructed, I cut away at the base of the stem and discovered a dark brown discoloration inside. It's either fusarium wilt or fusarium rot…both caused by the same fungus.
Luckily, it's only attacked two plants so far and the season is winding down. We've already far outstripped last year's tomato harvest with gigantic heirlooms and a few romas.
The ants, unfortunately, are eating my teeny tiny watermelon. I don't blame them of course, something else is boring into the fruit and the ants are just taking advantage of the situation…as any good ant would do.
Boots and Echo, those cats who were supposed to be on security detail and help with critter control, have really done a number on the plants in my cold frame. Apparently, the whole outside is not enough of a "litter box" for them.
On a happier note, the rest of the fall garden is booming. The peas planted last week have broken through soil and mulch.
The brassicas appear to be growing.
And the lettuce on the deck is lush and full.

Highway patrol officials issued a severe traffic alert Thursday afternoon following a crash involving multiple vehicles on the upper deck of the Bay Bridge.
The crash occurred around 2 p.m. on Interstate 80 just west of Treasure Island, according to California Highway Patrol traffic incident reports. The left and center lanes were closed for about an hour and a half, forcing traffic into just the far right lane.
All lanes on the bridge opened again around 3:30 p.m., according to incident reports. But CHP officials said drivers could expect residual delays.
At least one person was injured in the incident. Details about the cause of the crash were not immediately available.


It is declared that Torah were given to nations, only Jews were willing to receive, therefore Jews became special persons before HaShem. Accordingly, does HaShem require different responsibility(ies) from Jews than gentiles? What is the special responsibility? Does this mean gentiles are free from these responsibility(ies), such as learning Torah, tikun olam, Kosher and Shabbat, Mitzvot in general, since they don't have Torah?
All human beings are obligated in seven laws, known as the "Seven Noahide Laws". These laws were in place before the giving of the Torah, and go back to Creation.
There are entire groups of people who dedicate their lives to obeying these seven commandments, and they are known as "Bnei Noach". "Bnei Noach" means "sons of Noah" and refers to the fact that since everyone is a descendant of Noah, all humans are obligated in the seven laws, as mentioned previously.
A website in which you can learn more about these laws and how they are practiced by Bnei Noach can be found here. Also, for further reading, see this other Wikipedia page, and this article from Chabad.org.
But you ask if Jews have different responsibilities as opposed to non-Jews. The answer is "yes", we do have much more responsibility. G-d gave us the Torah at Mt. Sinai and obligated us in the observance of 613 commandments, which make up the Torah. Since non-Jews were not given the Torah, they are not obligated to fulfill one commandment of the Torah, unless it is one of the aforementioned seven laws.
Of course, a non-Jew is permitted to perform as many laws from the Torah as he wants, even without conversion, but this is an entirely separate discussion, discussed elsewhere on this site.

Doreen: Pay careful attention to the messages the Angels give you now. You have asked for a sign and they deliver it. Notice and trust these signs.
Glenn: As you walk through your day, pay attention to your surroundings. Notice the little things. Someone whose mind is full can walk through a busy mall and see nothing. Someone whose mind is clear can walk through a quiet forest and see all the little details of life. Become aware of minor changes in your environment. Notice the colors of the flowers and the movement of the birds. The more that you see, the more that you learn. Pay attention.
Doreen: Pay attention to new thoughts and ideas that come to you. They are seeds of magnificent co-creations with God.
Glenn: For the man who invents a better mousetrap, it is necessary to first understand the old mousetrap and its limitations. Opportunities reveal themselves simply by becoming aware of the needs and struggles of others. What could make your life simpler and easier? If you can figure that out for yourself, it is likely that others desire the same benefit. This week, pay attention to the simple ideas that pop into your mind and perhaps they can be expanded to provide solutions for you and others.
Doreen: Your prayer for a soulmate relationship is answered. Follow the guidance that you receive so that you may enjoy this gift of Divine Love.
Glenn: While some people look for a soulmate to complete them, those who already feel complete seek a soulmate to enhance their experience. The more you are confident in yourself and what you are doing, the more likely you are to attract into your experience someone who adds to your world. The more you shine, the more likely you are to catch the attention of someone with a similar glow. Together you can light up the world.
Things are happening around you and all you need to do is pay attention. As always, lightwork begins within. Focus on yourself and the moment, continually moving towards higher vibration. As you do, pay attention to the information coming your way. Walk through the week with joy and open eyes. You might be very pleased with the outcome.


Al Baker popularized the trick with his "Pack That Cuts Itself" in Book One, 1933, p. 7. Animated playing cards go back much farther, though. One such precursor was "The Hypnotised Card" in August Roterberg's New Era Card Tricks 1897, p. 68. A thread was laid over the lower half of the deck. One end of the thread was stuck to the table's edge, the other end to a wand. By raising the wand, the thread tipped the upper half of the deck over, face up, with the selection revealed on its face.
In an unpublished notebook circa 1800, an effect was attributed to a magician named Rees in which a card – secretly attached to a length of hair – would slide out of a tabled spread and follow the performer around. Will Houstoun transcribed this anonymous work and published it as The Notebook, 2009, p. 23.

3. White grape varieties
By Mark Andrew
Want to learn more about white wine grapes? Join our Discover Wine Course, starting 19th September 2019.
There are far, far too many white grape varieties to even list here, let alone profile. Instead, I've selected the most famous - you'll find these on wine labels all over the world.
Chardonnay hails from Burgundy in France and is the variety used to make most white wines from the region, including famous names such as Chablis and Puligny-Montrachet. The new world has also been growing Chardonnay for many years and it is now the most harvested grape variety in Australia, New Zealand and California. Un-oaked Chardonnay (of which Chablis is an example) tends to be very dry with a crisp character that can make the wine feel like it is gripping your tongue. If Chardonnay is oaked during production, the wine will have a deeper colour and aromas of vanilla and butter. New world Chardonnay tend to be oaked and the wines often lose some of the elegance and grip that we see in wines from cooler climates.
No discussion of Chardonnay would be complete without mentioning Champagne, where it is one of the leading varieties in the blend. Some Champagne is made solely from Chardonnay and these are called 'Blanc des Blancs'.
Pinot Gris (Pinot Grigio in Italy) can often make very aromatic, slightly honeyed dry wines in Alsace, with citrus and orchard fruits, and a hint of spice. Good Italian PG (usually from the Friuli region) shows a dry and crisp character with a more citrusy flavour profile. Italy also produces a lot of soulless PG that is bland and uninteresting. This is often due to high-yields, which reduces the intensity of the grapes and creates insipid wine. In the new world, Oregon in the USA and parts of New Zealand have emerged as areas of real potential to produce excellent Pinot Gris.
Chenin Blanc is a very versatile grape with high acidity that can be used to create a number of different styles of white wine, although it is best known in three guises: bone dry, sparkling or lusciously sweet. It is in France's Loire Valley that the best examples of these styles are to be found. Chenin has not been widely adopted in the new world, with South Africa being the only place to really embrace the grape. After years of unfulfilled potential, we are now seeing an improvement in the quality and consistency of South African Chenin (or Steen as it is often referred to) and some excellent examples are emerging.
Sauvignon Blanc has done extremely well in the new world, where it is grown in a number of countries and has excelled in the cool climate of New Zealand. The legendary Cloudy Bay established the template of Kiwi Sauvignon that is full of tropical fruit, gooseberries, asparagus and freshly mown grass. While many drinkers have embraced the New World interpretation of Sauvignon, fans of the great Sauvignons from Loire Valley appellations Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé would cite producers like François Cotat and the late Didier Dagueneau as the global benchmark. The fruit and vegetal flavours here are less aggressive and the flinty minerality makes for wines that are beautifully refreshing.
Without doubt the best examples of German wine come from Riesling, and areas such as the Rheingau and Mosel have been home to the grape's leading proponents for the last 500 years. It is also produced with some aplomb in Alsace, Austria and Australia, where winemakers in the Clare and Eden Valleys produce the best dry Riesling in the New World. Riesling is a very versatile grape that can produce both bone dry and sweet wines of superb quality. The best of these are loaded with subtle fruit flavours of limes, peaches, apricots and apples, matched with a searing acidity and minerality that does a fantastic job of cleansing the palate.

This paper investigated the relative financial performance of woolled and mutton sheep and the determinants of woolled sheep ownership for 34 full-time sheep farms in Laingsburg South Africa, where rainfall is only 128 millimetres per annum. A comparison of fourteen woolled sheep flocks and eight similar sized mutton flocks revealed 1) a slightly but insignificantly higher unit production cost for wool producers, 2) a 40% but insignificantly higher net farm income per breeding ewe for woolled sheep, 3) a significantly lower tagging percentage for woolled sheep and 4) a significantly lower predation percentage for woolled sheep. The percentage of woolled sheep in the flock was a logit function of farm size, size of the irrigated (crop) area, tradition and terrain ruggedness, although the latter was not significant. Farmers in extensive grazing areas should take notice of woolled sheep's ability to compete and the wool industry should pay attention to further improving the reproductive performance of this sheep type. The finding of woolled sheep's apparent lower susceptibility to predators deserves further study as it could become a strong argument for why farmers ought to switch (back) to woolled sheep.

Dean's primary speechwriter, though he didn't write the speech that people think of when you say the name "Howard Dean." He did get to write a 5,000 word essay on poverty in America for Vanity Fair Magazine on Gov.

OMAR VELEZ MELENDEZ is a playwright from Puerto Rico. In 2015, his play, Que ne pas, was a finalist at the UPR Humanities Literature Contest. His playwriting debut took place at the 2016 UPR Student Theatre Festival with The Natives Fight for Their Cave: Part 2. His work has also been developed by Teatro SEA and Pregones/PRTT. Other plays include We Built Our Homes Near Kingdoms of Animals and Magic (2019 Rita & Burton Goldberg Playwriting Prize), The Last Episode of El Super Mega Show and Lajasarriba.
DOUG KMIOTEK is an NYC based comedy writer. His first full-length farce, Family Affairs, was a 2019 finalist for the O'Neill New Play Conference and the Goldberg Playwriting Prize. Other playwriting work has been developed with NYU, the Amoralists and Slingshot Theater Company.

He is a graduate of NYU's MFA Dramatic Writing program ('18).
BRIAN 'DYALEKT' KUSHNER moved from St. Croix to New York to study acting and law. He also liked to rap. After witnessing civil rights injustices at the law firm he worked for, he dropped both the job and the law classes, pursuing the arts instead. Performances at the Nuyorican led him to Hip Hop Theater, writing plays that have been performed on stages across the world. He didn't sleep on the rapping either, releasing music and touring internationally. His first album/one man play Square Peg Syndrome helped him get named to the Public Theater's Emerging Writer's Group. He has been a mainstay in NYC's theater and Hip Hop scenes, rocking everywhere from the Bowery Ballroom to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. When Dyalekt was invited to present at a workshop for New York SCORES, a soccer and poetry program in Harlem and the Bronx, his perspective on performance changed. Students are much better audience members than bar patrons, and Dyalekt found he had a natural affinity for facilitation. Hip Hopping with students like he did with MCs in a cypher led to better engagement, grades, and overall attitude toward school than the usual class. After researching Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, Dyalekt designed curricula lining up the elements of Hip Hop with each learning style. Through Hip Hop, or rather, by Hip Hopping, students could assess their learning tendencies and use them to their benefit. Furthermore, the community aspects of Hip Hop show students how to be responsible citizens, peer mentors, and advocates for justice. Dyalekt brought this curriculum, along with his album/play back home to St. Croix, rocking with 17 orgs and over 400 students. They produced 2 books of poetry, an album, and a documentary. He also now teaches teachers how to MC in a classroom. Dyalekt had been an entrepreneur since his teenage days, and tells his students that the only thing that gets him out of his house before 10am is talking to kids, because he would never make it working on a punch-clock schedule. Since the essence of Hip Hop is making something from nothing, Dyalekt has rapped, written, and performed every freelance gig available to his skill set. He ran rap based Lincoln-Douglas debate/battles to teach youths how to prepare and present at a job interview. He linked up with Pockets Change to help students find freedom in expression, understanding, and finances.

Adam King at the butcher in 'Fiddler on the Roof' at Artistry.
Singing actor Adam King had an outsize presence on certain Twin Cities stages.
A journeyman performer with a distinctive bass voice, King played patriarchs and major domos in plays and musicals over the last several decades.
He died Saturday, Nov. 17, at 63. King was diagnosed with lymphoma in March, according to his sister Karen King-Brooks, of Scottsdale, Ariz.
"It was very fast," she said.
King was frequently cast in shows such as "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "Fiddler on the Roof." He acted at venues such as Theatre in the Round, Nimbus, Lake Shore Players and the Minnesota Jewish Theatre.
King was born in Sioux City, Iowa, to broadcast executive Roland King and philanthropist Muriel King. He grew up in St Louis Park, where he graduated high school. He studied business and theater at the University of Minnesota, and combined both after school, making his living in broadcast advertising and marketing for such companies as KQRS, Northern Lights Broadcasting and, lately, TPT, Twin Cities public TV.
He was an avid sports fan, and had a long friendship with the late Twins great Kirby Puckett.
"He was a charismatic person with a great heart," said sister King-Brooks.
Besides his sister and father, of St. Louis Park, King's survivors include a brother, Daniel King, of the Twin Cities.

Deputies found the cat alive, though it had difficulty walking. The kitten is now in the custody of Marion County Animal Services and is being treated for her injuries.
CBS affiliate WKMG reports deputies told them the person in the video is a student at the Silver River Mentoring and Instruction school in Ocala.

Se dibuja la letra que quieras en el cartón, se recorta y se hacen dos agujeritos en la parte superior si quieres colgarla. Si va a ir apoyada en vez de colgada, no hace falta que le hagas agujeros.
Mi letra, como no podía ser de otra manera, la M de Manuelito. Aunque el peque duerma con nosotros al principio, quiero que una parte de la habitación de matrimonio sea algo más infantil, así que la estamos decorando con cositas para él.
Mis pompones en color marrón. Es el color favorito de Manu, así que como a mi no me disgusta, le doy ese capricho. Como ves, depende del tamaño de los pompones es posible que se vea la parte trasera del cartón. Se va retocando el cartón con las tijeras para evitar que se vea y listo.
Y así ha quedado nuestra letra colgada. Realmente queda más bonita, pero la fotografía no es lo mío (aunque voy mejorando).
¿Que te parece esta letra con pompones? ¿Te animas a hacerla y enviarme la foto?

French President Wants to Jail People for Looking at Certain Websites
March 23, 2012 cscadm	Leave a comment
Nicolas Sarkozy is tired of messing around with these Internet users.
After seeing his nation captivated by a series of execution-style murders by an Islamic militant that ended in a sensational, Hollywood-esque standoff, French President Nicolas Sarkozy is ready to crack down on "terrorists" with new laws that can put people in jail for merely visiting a website. He equates looking at extremist websites with viewing child pornography and argues that people that show a pattern of repeat visits to such websites should be prosecuted and jailed if convicted. Members of the media and law analysts are crying foul, saying that this is an attempt to end free speech and expression in France.
Currently, French laws can put a person in jail for up to two years for repeat visits to child pornography websites. What exactly the penalty would be for visiting extremist websites has not been revealed, but Sarkozy compared the two frequently during a campaign rally in Strasbourg.
The frightening thing is how vague the law is. Granted, it only targets repeat visitors, so just innocently clicking on a site by accident won't land you in jail. However, the idea behind the law leaves the government with the open-ended task of what it defines as an "extremist" website. This opens the door for all sorts of possible abuses. Then, there is the simple fact that people are being put in prison when they didn't actually do anything. Yes, they might be visiting the website, but whose to say it is not for research or just curiosity. After all, we are quite sure that government agents in France routinely visit these sites, scouring them for information. But now, an average citizen doing the same would be risking jail time. It's a classic case of a law that starts out with seemingly good intentions, but could end up becoming a major abuse of rights, especially in a country that prides itself on being very human rights friendly.
Sarkozy is probably taking this hard line because he wants to look tough on this stuff after the embarrassing incident that left the world questioning why it took French authorities so long to track down a fanatic Islamic militant on a killing spree. With an election just a month around the corner, he's trying to show that he's up to the challenge of dealing with this stuff. The question is will the French people feel safer because of such rhetoric, or will they feel that their freedoms are being threatened?

Where to stay is one of the first things I think of when visiting a new city. There are a lot of things to consider. Will I be in a fun place? A safe place? If I'm going for work or an event, how easily can I access where I need to be? I'm not going to give recommendations for specific places to sleep (i.e. hotels or apartments) since I've only stayed in a few myself, but I do want to point out things to consider when looking at where to stay in Copenhagen. In my last post I mapped out the main areas of the city and I'll frame this post using those guidelines. If you don't feel like reading the whys and whatnots, and you just want to know the gist of it all, I'd say that most visitors are best served staying in the city center (København K). If you want to have a little more insight and some specifics to play with in your decision, let me dive in.
This is an easy thing to cover in Copenhagen because it is a safe, comfortable city. It is still a good sized city and you always need to pay attention when traveling, but Copenhagen is regularly listed in the top world cities for safety and "woman-friendly" travel. The one area of Copenhagen that is probably known for some safety concerns is up in Nørrebro. There has been an increase in gang shootings in some areas for the last few years (basically since they closed Pusher Street in Christiana, but that is a whole other story for another post). That said, even that area is still safe in the big picture of worldwide city crime. It is statistically safer to wander anywhere in Copenhagen than in any US city of the same size and I've wandered Nørrebro (and many areas of CPH) with no problem or concern.
As a traveler I love metros (or subway, or underground, or whatever you call it where you're from). They provide easy access, clearly marked routes and stations, and I feel like I can sort them out much better than buses (that is, it is easier to know when to get off). The Copenhagen Metro has two lines which run through the center of the city from Amager (and the airport) to just outside Frederiksberg. Trains run 24 hours a day, constantly. So, basically outside of Amager, the Center, and Frederiksberg, you will need to use buses, bikes, or feet to get around. The bus system here is quite excellent as well so if you take a little time to get familiar with the routes you'll use, it is a great way to move around.
I'll do more posts on the specifics, but in terms of where to stay, if you don't feel comfortable using buses or walking long distances, then staying along the metro line will provide you the simplest way to move around. There are three metro stations in København K (Nørreport, Kongens Nytorv, and Christianshavn) and you are within 1000 meters (about half a mile) of at least one of them, no matter where you are in the center.
The eastern side of Vesterbro is where the central train station (Hovedbanegård) is. Note that this is for the regional and commuter trains – no metro line stops at the central train station. The commuter trains (S-Tog) run very regularly though (every 10-15 minutes normally), so you can use them for regular travel in the city as well. Just be aware that taking a train there doesn't put you anywhere near a metro station.
Speaking of Vesterbro and train stations, there is one little bit I should point out. East Vesterbro, right by the central train station, is Copenhagen's red light district (mostly running along Istedgade). For some, this may be a feature, but for others, something to consider carefully. There are many hotels in this area and is a common place for folks to stay. It isn't necessarily a "bad" place to stay. It is safe and you'll often find good room rates, but if you have kids and decide to go for a stroll you may need to explain things that you aren't prepared to do yet (lots of shop windows display "toys"). It is a relatively small area, and Vesterbro as a whole can be a fun place to stay. If you don't want to deal with "that stuff" then you should avoid Istedgade for several blocks out from the station. Staying up on the main road of Vesterbrogade or north is fine. Overall though, if you have kids, staying on the other side of the station, in København K, is probably a better idea.
If you are going to Copenhagen for a big conference or event (like maybe Drupalcon) chances are that you will be going to The Bella Center (Bella Centeret) which is the largest conference center in Scandinavia. It is located in Vestamager (West Amager), which is definitely not in downtown Copenhagen (it is off the bottom of my 'hood map, under the green Amager Fælled). It is a fine area, just totally dead really. There are places to stay right by the Bella Center and if you are planning to pretty much only attend the event and not go out to see much then that makes sense. If, however, you would also like to experience some of Copenhagen, I'd strongly advise staying more central and taking the metro (M1) out to the venue instead. There is a metro stop right at the Bella Center, so if you stay at a place that is in the city center you have a 10-minute metro ride down to Bella, and you get all of the benefits of staying in the middle of the city where all the fun stuff is. For folks that feel like Vesterbro is a better fit than the city center, there is a bus (the 30) that goes to the Bella Center station from the central train station as well.
So, in conclusion, given a number of factors, I come back to my main recommendation, which is to stay in the city center and strike out from there. For visiting Copenhagen, especially for a short period, it just makes the most sense. After the center, I'd say second choices are Vesterbro for nightlife and easier access to the train station, or north Amager for a quieter area than Vesterbro, closer to beaches and the airport. Keep in mind that Copenhagen is not a massive city, so staying anywhere in the main areas won't put you too far from fun things to do.


Facebook users who are asked to like, share, and comment "#Ant" on posts in order to see ants crawling over their screens should not do so. This is because the posts have been created by scammers, and Facebook users who follow the instructions in the fake posts run the risk of, scammers collecting and using their publicly available Facebook information in scams, or being placed on spamming lists.
Liking, sharing and commenting "#Ant" on the Facebook posts will cause ants to start crawling on your screen. I have tried it. After trying it I immediately deleted my comment, remove my "like" and share.

Ranveer Singh accepts Madame Tussauds of the Future Award at star-studded IIFA Awards
Singapore: Last night, Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh walked away from the 20th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards with two new accolades under his belt and the exciting announcement that he will join Madame Tussauds' superstar line-up next year.
Best known for his roles in films including Padmaavat and most recently Gully Boy, the Forbes India Celebrity 100 regular walked away with the Best Actor gong and Madame Tussauds of the Future Award. Adding to the night's significance, the IIFA's glittering Homecoming Edition event which marked the illustrious awards ceremony's 20th year, took place in Ranveer's hometown of Mumbai.
A star-studded audience of Indian cinema's top talent — including Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Madhuri Dixit and Deepika Padukone — was there to see Ranveer accept his award and announce his upcoming figure.
"Wow, I'm damn excited. This is amazing. I remember as a kid I used to be an encyclopaedia geek and they used to talk about this mythical place called Madame Tussauds. I was going through my Mum's early pictures and I would say, 'Mum, where did you get a picture with The Queen?' and she would say, 'that's in Madame Tussauds London.' Since childhood it's always been a very mythical place for me so to be immortalised as a figure there is truly a very, very proud thing for me." said Ranveer, upon accepting the Madame Tussauds of the Future Award.
Andre Timmins, Co-Founder-Director- Wizcraft International, said, "IIFA has always been at the forefront in promoting Indian cinema in various facets and has always endeavored to act in the best interest of the Indian Film Industry to build better avenues for community engagement, cultural exchange, business and trade, tourism and cinema ties. For our homecoming edition we celebrate another successful year for IIFA and Indian cinema we are sure that it will be Magical memorable experience for all."
IIFA Awards and Madame Tussauds Singapore have been collaborating since 2017 when the IIFA zone was launched exclusively at the Singapore attraction. Since then many icons of Indian Cinema have launched their figure and a new interactive zone 'The Ultimate Film Star Experience', opened in 2019 at Madame Tussauds Singapore.
"It is a tremendous honour to establish a fruitful partnership with IIFA all these years. We are definitely looking forward to having Ranveer Singh's figure join the rest of the stars such as Salman Khan, Karan Johar, Shahid Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit at our new Ultimate Film Star Experience — the world's largest figure collection of Indian superstars.", said Alex Ward, General Manager of Madame Tussauds Singapore.
The newly launched UFSE spanning 2,500 sq ft, brings guests on a journey through the glitz and glamour of Indian cinema culture from the moment they step through the door, where they can audition, act and dance alongside their favourite movie heroes. The unique experience utilises cutting-edge technology like Kinect and AR to give visitors the chance to step into the limelight: https://youtu.be/EmLdC8Vhzq4

WASHINGTON — Following Vatican approval, the ""Rite for the Blessing of a Child in the Womb"" is now available for use by dioceses in the United States. The text of the blessing is posted online and is being published as a booklet addendum to the Book of Blessings/Bendicional. The blessing will be included in future editions of those liturgical volumes.
"We hope the use of this blessing will provide not only support and God''s blessing for expectant parents and their child in the womb, but also another effective witness to the sanctity of human life from the first moment of conception,"" said Archbishop Gregory M. Aymond, chairman of the Committee on Divine Worship of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
The blessing can be offered within the context of the Mass as well as outside of Mass.
The blessing originated at the request of then-Bishop Joseph Kurtz of Knoxville, Tennessee (now archbishop of Louisville, Kentucky) to the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities. The committee prepared and submitted a text to the USCCB's Divine Worship committee in March of 2008. It was approved by the U.S. bishops in November 2008, and then sent to Rome for editing and final approval.


Stress is a menace that we face in our day to day lives. We all come up against stress at some point. As our workload increases and as we have less time to complete all our work, we can feel stress catching up on us. Stress should be combatted effectively and we should not let stress overwhelm us. Stress can lead to many adverse consequences. Firstly, it can lead to physical illnesses. Terrible headaches, gastritis and even heart attacks are just some of the physical illnesses and discomforts that stress brings about. Secondly, stress can also lead to mental instability. Thirdly, increased levels of stress, can rob us of our ability to perform at our optimum level and thus drastically reduce our productivity. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to combat stress effectively.
One of the reasons for stress is having too much to do. We might often lose track of what we have to do and this can lead to panic attacks, when we realize that we have forgotten important appointments or when we remember an assignment the night before the deadline and have to stay up all night to complete it. You can avoid this by drawing up to do list of all the work that you have to do. By doing this you can avoid forgetting the work and the subsequent panic attacks and stress that follow. For example, if you have an appointment with your cosmetic dentist in Ashfield next week, make sure to write down in your diary or even save it as a remainder on your phone.
Thus, you can make sure that you do not miss your appointment with your cosmetic dentist and get stressed out as a result.
Another manner in which you can avoid stress is by not procrastinating and by prioritizing your work. For example, if you have an assignment to submit at the end of the week and a project to complete at the end of the month, you have to concentrate on your assignment more. Further, you should not put off working on your assignment or your project till the last minute. You should make sure that you start work on them well ahead, so that you will have ample time to finish them by their respective deadlines. If you wait for the eleventh hour, you will undergo a lot of stress as you try to complete the assignment and project the night before their respective deadlines. Further, you can also manage your stress levels by not taking on more work than you can handle and by taking regular breaks to rejuvenate.
Go on Google and search the word smile. Without a doubt you will find millions of results that will range from pictures of adults, children, elders and even animals. You will find articles about health, confidence, and universal communication. That alone tells you what an important aspect a smile plays in the world around us. Like the old saying "A smile is the universal language of love," it is what makes the world go around.
Did you know that you can change your mood by just smiling? No matter how bad of a day you are having. No matter how many things go wrong if you need your mind to be relaxed and happy before you go home and meet your family or even go on that special date you have been planning for weeks. Smile as much as possible and it will change your mood. It will be hard to fake a smile but it helps create positive vibes in your mind. It helps you reduce stress levels and strengthen the body on a cellular level.
When someone looks at an individual one of the first things someone notices about him is the smile on his face. We all know how the first impression is really important but we still fail to master this aspect at our social gatherings. The major reason is because either we have bad breath or we have bad teeth so we hide our smiles. Yellow, crooked or even missing teeth can really affect one's personality. Thus, we lose our confidence and we fail to impress.
To avoid these you should brush your teeth at least twice a day. First in the morning and again before going to bed. Your toothbrush does not have the ability to reach all parts of your teeth. That is why you should floss after you brush your teeth or you will leave breathing ground for bacteria which will cause your teeth to blacken or decay. If your teeth are in a really bad state you should consider dental services in Whangarei.
You can get your broken, crooked or missing teeth fixed. They use a laser teeth whitening treatment which can really help get that extra white sparkle in your smile. Getting good teeth is such a big deal these days that oral surgeons even take insurance and offer various other payment plans to give the right services to a variety of customers.


The outfits worn for by the Indian women are very practical in nature. They are easy to work in and when the need arises they are easy to party in too. One such attire is the Salwar suit. Comfortable, practical and elegant, these are words which describe this attire the best.
And you will find a wide range of salwar suits in Hong-kong at the Shivaliarora store. This garment which is ancient and traditional has been given a modern twist by our designers. The outifts are put together with care to match any occasion.
You can wear it during a day occasion or a night out. Worn however you desire, dress it up or dress it down, this salwar suit in Hong-kong is the stuff practical dreams are made of.

NRAI, ONDC In Talks To End Zomato-Swiggy Duopoly On Food Deliveries
By VCWorld Bureau on June 25, 2022 • ( 0 )
According to sources close to the developments, an apex Indian restaurant body held preliminary talks with officials of the Online Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) on June 21. In the next few months, some restaurants large and small may join the network for a pilot on an interoperable e-commerce network after a required technology standardization.
Meanwhile, a note prepared by ONDC on possible collaboration with food outlets accessed by Moneycontrol said: "Many NPs (network partners) provide their services on open networks without any pre-filters, this is a difference of opinion from the existing monopolies." Will help overcome / Cartelization of the online food delivery ecosystem."
"Today was an introductory meeting in which ONDC explained to us their vision of how restaurants can integrate and benefit from connecting to the network," said a member of the National Restaurant Association India (NRAI).
Last year, the NRAI filed information against foodtech majors Zomato and Swiggy with the Competition Committee of India (CCI), claiming that their practices "have a significant adverse impact on competition". The submission highlighted issues such as bundling of services, data masking, deep discounting, lack of transparency and excessive commissions.
"The current ecosystem of food delivery is broken and yet no one is able to disrupt it as it would require an infinite amount of money. At present, FoodTech's business model cannot let a third party handle hyperlocal logistics, even though the restaurant and the end customer can benefit in this way," said a restaurant owner, who did not wish to be named.
"That is why the ONDC effort is worth giving a try where an integrated network can allow more localized food aggregators and intra-city logistics providers to come. Ultimately this has the potential to reduce commissions paid to restaurants and better prices for customers," he said.

Acclimatization to altitude has become an important part of the preparation process for athletes competing above 1500m (4921ft).
Conditions above this level make physical activity more difficult and limits performance (2). But what is the most effective method for acclimation and can training at altitude improve performance at sea level?
This article focuses on the immediate physiological responses to a hypobaric (low atmospheric pressure) environment and the longer-term adaptations that take place in the body.
Although conditions at altitude have been known for many years, in 1968 the Olympic Games in Mexico City drew considerable attention to their specific effect on athletic performance.
At any point on earth, the more air that is above that point, the greater the barometric pressure will be. This is the same principle as being under water. The deeper a diver is the more water there is above her and the greater the pressure. At sea level, air exerts a pressure of approximately 760mmHg. At the summit of Mount Everest, 8848m (29,028ft) above sea level, air only exerts a pressure of about 231mmHg (2).
Recall that after we inhale, oxygen in the alveoli (tiny air sacs in the lungs) passes to the blood to be transported to the tissues. This gas exchange between the alveoli and blood takes place due to a pressure difference called a pressure gradient. The pressure oxygen exerts in the alveoli is greater than the pressure of oxygen in the blood surrounding the lungs. This drives oxygen from the lungs into the blood (1,2).
It makes sense then that any reduction in the pressure of oxygen entering the lungs will reduce the pressure difference or gradient. The result is less oxygen being driven from the lungs into the blood. At altitude that is exactly what happens.
The weight of air and the barometric pressure it exerts has an effect on the partial pressure of oxygen. At sea level, oxygen has a partial pressure of 159mmHg. In Mexico City it is approximately 125mmHg. At the top of Everest, it drops to 48mmHg, which is nearly equal to the blood surrounding the lungs (2). With very little pressure difference at this level oxygen exchange is severely hampered and its not surprising that supplemental oxygen becomes essential for most.
While there are other changes at altitude such as a drop in temperature, decreased humidity and increased solar radiation, the reduction in the partial pressure of oxygen (and so oxygen transport to the tissues) is thought to be the major cause of reduced exercise performance (2).
Recall from the VO2 max article that the bodys ability to supply and utilize oxygen is a limiting factor in performance. Up to 1500m (4921ft), altitude has little effect on the body. Above this level, studies on men show the cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic systems are affected. Unfortunately, there are few studies on women and children at altitude and their responses may differ slightly.
Breathing rate increases at rest and during exercise. A smaller number of oxygen molecules per given amount of air means that increased ventilation is required to consume the same amount of oxygen as at sea level (2).
Oxygen diffusion decreases. At sea level oxygen exchange from the lungs to the blood is unhindered and the oxygen-carrying component of blood, hemoglobin, is about 98% saturated with oxygen. As altitude increases and the partial pressure of oxygen in the air drops, so does the pressure gradient between oxygen in the lungs and blood. This decreases the saturation of hemoglobin to about 90-92% at 2439m (8000ft). In effect, less oxygen passes (diffuses) from the lungs to the blood (2).
The diffusion gradient at the active tissues decreases. As mentioned above, oxygen passes from the lungs to the blood due to a pressure gradient. The same process occurs when oxygen-rich arterial blood reaches the active tissues. The partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is about 100mmHg at sea level. In body tissue, it is a steady 40mmHg a difference or pressure gradient of 60mmHg. At an altitude of 2439m (8000ft), arterial oxygen pressure decreases to 60mmHg so the difference or pressure gradient drops to just 20mmHg – a 70% reduction. In effect, less oxygen passes (diffuses) from the blood to the tissues (2).
VO2 max decreases. Maximal oxygen uptake begins to decrease significantly above an altitude of 1600m (5249ft). For every 1000m (3281ft) above that VO2 max drops by approximately 8-11%. At the summit of Everest, an average sea level VO2 max of 62ml/kg/min can drop to 15ml/kgmin (3). For individuals with a sea level VO2 max less than 50 ml/kg/min would be unable to move as their VO2 max would drop to 5 ml/kg/min enough only to support resting oxygen requirements (4).
Blood volume decreases. Plasma volume decreases by up to 25% within the first few hours of exposure to altitude and doesnt plateau until after a few weeks. This is partially a deliberate response by the body as reducing plasma (the watery part of blood) in effect increases the density of red blood cells. While no extra red blood cells have been produced in this acute phase, the amount of hemaglobin per unit of blood (called hematocrit) is now increased resulting in greater oxygen transport for a given cardiac output (1).
Cardiac output increases during rest submaximal exercise. During the first few hours at altitude stoke volume decreases during submaximal exercise, a result of the reduction in plasma volume. Heart rate increases enough to compensate for this and to actually slightly raise cardiac output. After a few days however, oxygen extraction becomes more efficient reducing the need to increase cardiac output. In fact after 10 days acclimatization to altitude results in a lower cardiac output at any given, submaximal exercise intensity compared to sea level (5).
Maximal cardiac output decreases. During exhaustive exercise at maximum levels both maximal stroke volume and maximal heart rate decrease with altitude (2). This obviously combines to have a significant effect on maximal cardiac output. In conjunction with the reduced diffusion gradient to drive oxygen from the blood to working tissues, it is easy to see why VO2 max and endurance performance is hindered.
Lack of oxygen availability and utilization at altitude places a greater demand on anaerobic metabolism to produce energy. This results in an increase in the concentration of lactic acid at any given submaximal exercise intensity compared to sea level. In contrast, lactate concentration is lower during maximal effort (6,7).
As would be expected the acute responses mentioned above have a detrimental effect on exercise performance in particular the endurance events. VO2 max decreases significantly as altitude increases. Running at 12km/h for example will equate to a higher percentage of VO2 max when completed at altitude compared to sea level.
Conversely, anaerobic events lasting under a minute such as sprinting, throwing and jumping activities are not impaired at moderate altitude. In fact, they can actually be improved due to the thinner air and less aerodynamic resistance (2).
Red blood cell count increases. Lack of oxygen stimulates the release of erythropoietin, the hormone responsible for red blood cell production, within 3 hours and reaches a peak after 24 to 48 hours (8). The concentration of red blood cells within a given volume of blood is called hematocrit. In sea level residents, hematocrit is about 45-48%. With 6 weeks exposure to an altitude of 4540m (14895ft) these levels can increase to 59% (2). Initial exposure to altitude decreases plasma volume. However, this begins to increase slightly with long-term acclimatization to altitude.
Pulmonary ventilation stabilizes. But it remains increased during rest and exercise compared to sea level (1).
Submaximal cardiac output decreases. while submaximal cardiac output increases in the acute stage, following acclimatization to altitude it decreases to below sea level values. This is primarily due to a further reduction in stroke volume, which presumably occurs as changes in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood take the burden off the heart (1).
Muscle cross sectional area decreases. Muscle biopsy studies following 4 to 6 weeks at altitude show that slow-twitch and fast-twitch fiber area decreases by as much as 20-25%. This decreases muscle area by 11-13% (2). It may be that muscle wasting of this nature is due to loss of appetite that often accompanies living at altitude.
How can athletes who live at sea level prepare for a competition at altitude?
One approach is to compete within 24 hours of arrival at altitude. Not much acclimatization will have taken place but most of the classical symptoms of altitude sickness will not have had time to manifest. After the intial 24 hours, dehydration and sleep disturbances become more prominent.
An alternative option is to train at a higher altitude for at least 2 weeks prior to competition. Although full acclimatization to altitude takes 4 to 6 weeks, many of the physiological adaptations occur in the first 2 weeks and the more severe disturbancs should have settled. It is important to remember that during the intial days at altitude work capacity is reduced, so athletes should train at 60-70% of sea level VO2 max and build up gradually over 10-14 days.
A third approach is to devote a greater percentage of training time at sea level to endurance training several weeks prior to competition. This is a strategy often adopted within many team sports, helping to raise players' VO2 max to a peak so that they can perform at a lower relative intensity without significant loss in performance.
Sleeping in altitude tents and hypobaric chambers may be able to adequately simulate the effects of altitude but these tend to be very expensive. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to suggest that spending 1-2 hours per day breathing hypobaric gases at sea level results in the same adaptations as living at altitude.

Classic Bike Guide
The Jack Pine Enduro
The Jack Pine Enduro started as the Jack Pine Run, by the Lansing Motorcycle Club of Michigan in 1923 – an 800-mile, three-day trek.
For many years, the run was the realm of big Harley-Davidson and Henderson motorcycles, often as combinations, fording raging rivers and climbing tortuous inclines.
In the late 1930s the club began to use as its base Jack Pine Lodge, a holiday resort and campsite in Upper Michigan. The resort had been won by the owner in a card game.
In the postwar period, British machines arrived for the competition and there were wins for AJS and BSA, with the first win by a Triumph in 1951.
Triumph competed with BSA and NSU for the top honours for next 15 years, with Triumph winning seven times, before Husqvarna started a long run of victories.
In its heyday, the Jack Pine Enduro, as it was renamed in
1959, would attract 600 or more riders tackling a course that was a gruelling 500 miles off-road over two days. The event had the same kudos in US motorcycling circles as Daytona.
These days, the enduro is shorter and runs over a single day. More purpose-built enduro bikes take part, with Gas Gas and KTM slogging it out for the top spots.

Doug Pederson fired as Philadelphia Eagles head coach
January 12, 2021	Sports Daypop
On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles fired head coach Doug Pederson, just three seasons after he coached the team to a Super Bowl title.
Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement released by the team, "Coach Pederson and I had the opportunity to sit down and discuss what that collective vision would look like moving forward. After taking some time to reflect on these conversations, I believe it is in both of our best interests to part ways." Pederson said, "It has been an absolute honor serving as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. As difficult as it is to say goodbye, I will always look back on my time here with appreciation and respect."
The 52-year-old Pederson was hired as Eagles coach in 2016 after he spent his previous three seasons as offensive coordinator of the Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles went 7-9 in his first season before a 13-3 campaign and Super Bowl run in 2017. The Eagles posted a 4-11-1 record under Pederson in 2020 after they had a winning record and made the playoffs in each of their previous three seasons. Philadelphia lost seven of its final eight games this season to finish in last place in the NFC East.

Why Slovakia
Variety of Game
Slovakia boasts excellent populations of the classic European species: red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, mouflon, and wild boar
Strong Hunting Tradition
Slovakia has a long and proud hunting tradition dating back to the 1400s, and celebration of its hunting culture continues today with events such as Saint Hubert Days in the village of Antol in central Slovakia
Affordable Hunt with a Bohemian Flair
The thinly populated forest areas and rich agricultural land in Slovakia provides a true European hunting experience at a modest price
Slovakia on map
About hunting in Slovakia
Slovakia, located in the heart of Europe, is a small country but its woodlands and fields hold a rich variety of game animals. Hunting in Slovakia has a long and storied tradition, with hunting grounds dating back to the 1400s. The country has excellent wildlife management, and trophy quality, particularly for mouflon, is outstanding. In 1994, a mouflon with a score of 237 CIC points was taken in southern Slovakia. Hunting associations have a long history in Slovakia and have been instrumental in promoting forest maintenance and preventing poaching since 1920. Game trophies harvested in Slovakia have been awarded numerous gold medals in hunting exhibitions since the 1930s. Slovakia's Tatra Mountains are home to the Tatra chamois, found nowhere else. Bears, wolves, and lynx are also present in the wilder areas of the country.
1. Planning your trip
2. Upon arrival
3. Hunting
4. After the hunt
American and Canadian citizens as well as citizens of Australia, New Zealand, and most European countries generally do not need an entry visa to visit Slovakia for stays up to 90 days. No vaccinations are necessary.
It is not difficult to bring a firearm to Slovakia, but you must arrange the details with your outfitter at least 45 days in advance. You must obtain a letter of invitation from your outfitter; to receive this you'll need to provide personal details and all rifle and ammunition details in advance, and have a valid hunting license from your home country.
When arriving in the country, hunters must declare their guns and show their letter of invitation to hunt, which will be provided by the outfitter. The letter should include the hunter's name, passport number, and details of the gun(s), including caliber and serial number. The hunter will also be required to show a valid hunting license from his or her home country, and a gun permit or U.S. Customs 4457 form.
Hunting methods vary, depending on species and location, and you may use more than one method during any hunt so it may be necessary to have clothing appropriate for both walking and standing. Most hunting is conducted as a combination of walking, sitting, or as a traditional spot and stalk. Good optics are extremely valuable. Driven hunts are common for many species; if you will be taking part in a driven hunt, fast-handling rifles with low-power scopes are generally recommended.
After the hunt
Upon request, the outfitter should be able to arrange most documents required for trophy export, and in many cases the cleaned and dried horns and skins can be taken home immediately by the hunter.

Bates wins Division III rowing championship by one point
2017 DI, DII, & DIII Rowing Championship Recap: Day Two
WEST WINDSOR, N.J. — The Bates rowing team defeated Williams by one point to win the 2017 NCAA Championship in dramatic fashion Saturday morning on Mercer Lake.
The Bobcat second varsity eight won its fourth consecutive gold medal, earning Bates 12 points. Meanwhile the first varsity eight came in second to Williams, earning the Bobcats 27 points and giving them 39 overall. The Ephs earned 30 points for their first place finish in the first varsity eight race but only tallied eight points for their third place finish in the second varsity eight race, giving them 38 overall.

The second varsity eight grand final got underway at 11:12 a.m. with the Bobcats taking on Wellesley, Williams and Ithaca.
Bates led wire-to-wire, although the Blue kept things very close for the first 1,000 meters. The Bobcats led by less than a second halfway through the race before opening up a two-second lead at the 1,500-meter mark.
They raced to the finish in a gold medal winning time of 6:48.332. Wellesley came in second with a time of 6:51.502 and Williams came in third, well behind the top two crews with a time of 6:57.632.
Just one point separated Bates from second-place Williams.
The first varsity eight grand final marked the last race of the day and it proved to be a nail-biter the whole way. Bates held off Wellesley for second place by just over a second, giving the Bobcats the points they needed for a second national championship.
The Ephs took home the first varsity eight gold medal with a time of 6:35.379 and the Bobcats rowed to the finish in 6:37.652. Wellesley came in third with a time of 6:38.842. Ithaca, RIT and Wesleyan finished fourth through sixth respectively.
"We're watching, we're watching, Wellesley puts up this fight in the last 500 that almost gets them, they put up an even bigger fight," senior captain and second varsity eight coxswain Abigail Bierman said. "My bow seat Alex Salazar turns around and is like, 'I can't watch any more!' They finish and we whip our heads around to the coaching staff, and ask 'Did we win?' and they nodded, 'We did!"
Bierman won her third consecutive gold medal as the coxswain for the second varsity eight while senior Katherine Traquina won her second silver medal as the coxswain for the first varsity eight. Both coxswains were also members of the 2015 national championship team.
Senior captain first varsity eight stroke Molly Pritz wraps up a remarkable career at Bates that saw her win a gold medal in the second varsity eight boat as a first-year, another gold medal and a national championship as a sophomore, a third gold medal as a junior and a second national championship as a senior.
The seniors with the national championship trophy!! #d3row #mesports pic.twitter.com/PmAMmWpyhm

"This is so much more than a victory for those of us who got to be on the water today," Pritz said. "This is for everyone. I was happiest to see my first coxswain at Bates [Molly Huffaker] who was here. This is the second [team] national championship for the school and we own both of them. So that's awesome."
Seniors Julia Mason and Jessica Vocaturo wrapped up their careers in style on Saturday as well. Mason takes home a third gold medal and a second national title.
This marks the 11th consecutive year Bates women's rowing has participated in the NCAA championships. They have finished first twice (2015 and 2017), second six times, third twice and fifth once.
