Yesterday we honored a hero and pulled all the heavy things off the ground and did an immense amount of pressing. We'll work more total strength today with heavy sandbag carries and a farmers walk. You will gain the most from today by finding the safest heaviest load you can manage across the whole distance. Focus on the right tension and positions today.
Breath in through your nose out through your mouth at a regular pace and you'll see even greater results. Bear hug is ideal, be smart.
The WOD is a fun straight up rigorous push. We'll hit a large block of assault bike calories – done in waves from the start. These should be big efforts, those who have been in a few endurance classes have experienced 50x and 75x calories recently, so you are ready!
Then a nice couplet of sit-ups (GHD if you are feeling fresh) and wall balls. Aim for unbroken wall balls and then consistent sit-ups.
Wednesday is a pop-up at Variant Brewery, we'd love to see you there supporting that local business!
Valentines Day ish Event is posted on Facebook, join in!
The OPEN begins on Feb 22nd for us, we'll have the Open workout every Friday (the day after they are announced). Judges will be available for those seeking a validated score.
Let's work on being inverted and continue our progressions as we get gymnastics intensive today. Handstand walks demand that we have a base level of strength and balance. Everyone should initially be able to hold push up position and do shoulder taps from that position. As we have confidence here we'll begin moving into a more vertical position – From there try to get into wall walk x3-5 reps at the top of the wall work on shoulder taps or just weight shifts (think moving hips over to the side) and be patient on taking hands off the ground. Taps are not meant to be for speed but as a strength effort to stack weight on a single arm. From here we will begin moving away from the wall; walking to the wall, and of course .. partner walks. Patience and steady in the progressions will deliver your best self here. Have fun!
The workout today has the repetitions going down from 10 to 1. We'll complete 10 pull-ups, then the handstand walk – if you don't have a handstand we'd like to do a reverse bear crawl at 60 feet (10 mats). The idea is to stay in a bear position – stacked, as this will create and engage the same muscles we are targeting in the handstand walk.
Toes to bar … wrap the bar, press with those lats, and keep nice clean lines.
Sled push – we'll add weight – 2 45 lb plates for the gents, and 60 extra pounds on the sled for the ladies). Take the sled the length of the building, or halfway and back. This should be an aggressive drive. If you keep arms locked and stacked you'll be in the same strength position from a handstand!
Rwanda Relay Shirts are in – pick up your shirt, you can pay at pick-up or we'll run your card on file.
Videos and media being posted beginning today, but we are helping a charity building a hospital in Rwanda. We are opening in December and will serve an area of hard working folks where the closest hospital is 20+ miles away. More to follow – fundraiser, charity competition, fun challenges, and more!
Big and heavy for our squat .. legs are fresh, so let's hit it today. Really take time to get great range of motion in the ankles and hips. Build up with smaller sets and then hit working sets. We are looking for 10lbs + from last week.
The WOD on a running clock has us rowing max effort every minute the minute to complete 100/70 calories. At the beginning of each minute though we will first complete 25 doubleunders. At 10 minutes the work reverses.
We will then row first 10/7 calories and then work to complete 300 doubleunders. every minute rowing another 10/7 calories.
This first row should be a hard effort.. Athletes shouldn't be spending more than 20 seconds on DU. If people want to work DU skill then say do :20 of DU attempts then row hard.
Adjust and lets get it. No matter what you change at the 10 minute mark.
How do you recover your power clean? Are you in a good position at the front rack and then always toss the bar …. or are you maintaining a hook grip? What if you regrip on the way down? Does the bar bounce off your hips or glide down your legs? Let's improve today across heavy sets and focus on the touch and go aspect – improve your cycling capabilities today.
The WOD has an increasingly heavy barbell mixed in with a set of specific movements.
We'll do medball cleans – aim for the ball to not rotate and you'll be in a good place long term. The SKI – think fast rises out of the bottom of the pull. Burpees are amazing, so we'll do those 2x, and then back to the medball cleans.
The intent here is to have the bar move a moderately heavy weight but perhaps a bit of cycling as we are moving up in weight with near body weight aerobic movements. You will be squatting a lot today, so lets get good range of motion – tomorrow we hit back squats with a barbell, so this is just the beginning!

Facebook acquires tech startup
Facebook has announced the acquisition of CTRL-labs, a tech start-up which specializes in the mind-controlling of machines. The acquisition was announced by Andrew Bosworth, Vice President of augmented and virtual reality at Facebook.
The New York-based start–up reportedly joined a division of Facebook called the Facebook Reality Labs. The deal entails using the start-up's specialisation to allow humans to control computers, by using their brains to build a Facebook wristband that lets people control their devices.
"We know there are more natural, intuitive ways to interact with devices and technology, and we want to build them. The vision for this work is a wristband that lets people control their devices as a natural extension of movement," Bosworth said in a post.
Bosworth explained that the wristband would decode electrical impulses such as those sent to hand muscles, telling them to move certain ways, by clicking a computer mouse or pressing a button.
He noted that the wristband could capture a user's intention just by using a particular movement.
Although Facebook did not disclose financial terms of the deal to buy CTRL-labs, however, reports have it that it paid more than $500 million to acquire the start-up.
What you should know: Facebook has been working on brain-computing technology since 2016, in which a lab was launched to boost the company's efforts in developing consumer hardware products. The company provided an update on its brain-computing efforts in July, saying that research conducted with the University of California San Francisco showed promising progress, but was still years away from commercialization.
The deal came at a time where Facebook still faces antitrust investigation by the Federal Trade Commission. The commission is reportedly looking into whether the company facilitated its acquisitions in an effort to stifle competition as reported by Nairametrics.
About CTRL-labs: CTRL-labs was founded in 2015 by Thomas Reardon and Patrick Kaifosh. CTRL-labs has raised $28 million seed funding in the past from Alphabet's GV and Amazon's Alexa Fund.

A plastic surgeon borrowed € 632,891 from his Dutch limited liability company (BV) as per 31 December 2009. In 2010, the loan increased to € 803,414. The Court of Appeal ruled that BV forewent its creditor rights in 2010, resulting in a taxable distribution for the full amount of € 803,414. The Court of Appeal also applied a penalty.
Following Houthoff's appeal, the Dutch Supreme Court ruled that the Court of Appeal should have made a distinction between (a) distributions made by BV when it pays funds to its shareholder, and (b) distributions that occur due to foregone creditor rights by the BV. Therefore, the Court of Appeal should have further motivated if- and to what extent the BV made a distribution in 2010. Furthermore, a tax return prepared- and filed by a renowned tax advisor may generally be relied upon. Therefore, the Court of Appeal should also have further motivated why the penalty was justified, given that the plastic surgeon provided all relevant information to his tax advisor at the time.
The Supreme Court referred the case to another Court of Appeal to further assess these two points. This case resulted in interesting new case law on when- and to what extent taxable distributions have to be taken into account between a BV and its shareholder.

This is Railway Hotel in Gympie, adjacent to the old Gympie station
Just the name Railway Hotel conjured up a lot of interesting connotations. There's one in almost every rural town that has Railway station, or perhaps a Junction Hotel, a Railway Hotel, or a Terminus Hotel.
And, once upon a time, there were nearly 600 of them, up until the 1920s, ubiquitous hotels build to house the people building the railways, and, then, when they were finished a lot disappeared, but a lot also remained to service the railway station and passengers coming and going.
These days, these old hotels that still exist are anachronisms of a bygone age, rather ornate wooden structures with big rooms and communal bathrooms, bars, saloons, and dining rooms, and only those curious about the past would stay there.
I've stayed in a few myself.
But, as for a story, well, the older, the better, because these would have ghosts.
They could also have infamous pasts, like a fire that destroys only part of the hotel, signs of which form part of the character.
A doorway into a now hidden room closed off because of something horrible happening there, could suddenly become a portal, where stepping through takes you back to the time of the event.
In fact, I'm in the mood to write just such a story…

Q: Use of Bayes' Theorem to find false positive rate I have been asked to use Bayes' Theorem to prove that the rate of false positives is accurate (86%) in the following passage.
What I have done so far is list the following
$P(A)=0.99$
$P(B)=0.05$
As Bayes' Theorem is as follows
$$P(A|B)=\frac{P(B|A)P(A)}{P(B)}$$
I need $P(B|A)$. I'm stuck on how to find this. Help would be greatly appreciated.
Is it possible to prove this using Bayes'? If not, is there some other sort of mathematics that I can use here?

Roughly 1 per cent of the population suffer from mild cognitive
  impairment, which might, but doesn't always, lead to dementia. Suppose
  that the test is quite a good one, in the sense that 95 per cent of
  the time it gives the right (negative) answer for people who are free
  of the condition. That means that 5 per cent of the people who don't
  have cognitive impairment will test, falsely, as positive. That
  doesn't sound bad. It's directly analogous to tests of significance
  which will give 5 per cent of false positives when there is no real
  effect, if we use a p-value of less than 5 per cent to mean
  'statistically significant'.
But in fact the screening test is not good – it's actually appallingly
  bad, because 86 per cent, not 5 per cent, of all positive tests are
  false positives. So only 14 per cent of positive tests are correct.
  This happens because most people don't have the condition, and so the
  false positives from these people (5 per cent of 99 per cent of the
  people), outweigh the number of true positives that arise from the
  much smaller number of people who have the condition (80 per cent of 1
  per cent of the people, if we assume 80 per cent of people with the
  disease are detected successfully).

Thanks

A: Let $A$ be the event that a person randomly chosen doesn't suffer from cognitive impairment and $B$ be the result of the test for dementia which can either be positive $P$ or negative $N$. Then,
$P(A) = 0.99 = 1 - P(A^C)$
$P(B = N | A) = 0.95$
I also assume that $95\%$ is the accuracy of the test in the sense that if the patient has the disease then $95\%$ of the time the test is positive and if the patient does not suffer from the disease then also $95\%$ of the time the test is negative. So,
$P(B = P | A^C) = 0.95$ and $P(B = P | A) = 0.05$
So, the probability of false positive is,
$P(A|B=P) = \frac{P(B = P | A) P(A)}{P(B = P | A) P(A) + P(B = P | A^C) P(A^C)}
 = \frac{0.05 \times 0.99}{0.05 \times 0.99 + 0.95 \times 0.01} = 0.838$

The Agave Landscape and Ancient Industrial Facilities of Tequila is an area that shows agave cultivation and represents the growth of tequila distillation since the 17th century.
Tequila is the liquor produced from the blue agave around the town of Tequila, western Mexico. Today, the agave culture is seen as part of Mexico's national identity and is known world wide.
The designated area encloses a living, working landscape of blue agave fields, with its distilleries, factories and haciendas. The towns of Tequila, El Arenal, and Amatitan are also included, plus Teuchitlan Archaeological sites from between 200 and 900 A.D.
Perhaps we should state right from the beginning that we don't drink Tequila! So I guess that the Agave Landscape was up against it from the start with us and we certainly didn't find it a particularly satisfactory excursion. I tried to tell myself rationally that what I was seeing was the equivalent of St Emelion in France, or Tokajii in Hungary, or Lavaux or Alto Duro ….. (there do seem to be a rather excessive number of European wine-based "cultural landscapes" which have made it onto the UNESCO list, and there are more on the T List too)! If, as a drink, Tequila can have the quality and variety of a fine Cognac or good wine and has its history engraved deeply in the countryside and culture of Mexico – then why shouldn't its main area of growth and manufacture be similarly inscribed? Well, I guess it should – but somehow the dusty fields of Blue Agave (photo 1) didn't seem as attractive as a hill side of vineyards! And I am afraid that the towns of Arenal, Amatitlan and Tequila couldn't match the beauty of a French village – though the latter has a pleasant enough square and side streets. The saving grace for the Tequila landscape was its distant volcanic horizon.
It WAS interesting to discover more about the history and manufacture of Tequila. One can appreciate the back-breaking hard work which goes into growing, harvesting and preparing this prickly unforgiving plant (It may look like a "Cactus" but apparently it is related to the Lily family!). The several commemorative statues depicting men ("Jimadores") carrying the specialised shovel/knife ("coa de jima") for cutting the leaves away from the bowl of the plant testified to the consciousness of the people in their history and the efforts of their forebears - it reminded me of the similar pride (and statues) in a UK mining village. Indeed we had hoped to somehow get closer to the "soul" of Mexico during our visit so "essential" is Tequila to Mexican culture and social activity – but it wasn't to be.
We stopped off in Tequila – one great similarity with St Emelion was that the town was totally given over to providing "shopping opportunities". The main producer in town is Cuervo and it runs a comprehensive tour, tasting and souvenir "experience". I personally thought its tour charges, considering that they were all aimed at bringing people in to buy, were somewhat excessive. At the end there is a shop with a seemingly endless range of "Tequila-related" souvenirs – we marvelled at the ingenuity of marketing men in linking just about anything to an alcoholic drink. There is also a small "museum" in town which covers the history of "tequila-like" drinks back to pre-Hispanic times and the more modern growth of the industry and its "grand families". But I switched off at the exhibition of differently shaped Tequila bottles!
We escaped to the countryside. However, nothing much was happening – the Agaves just "sat" there under the sun without even a "campesino" in the landscape! We did get to talk in our limited Spanish to a farmer who was selling the offshoots used to create the next generation of plants. Unlike wine, the process of producing Tequila requires the destruction of the plant whose surprisingly large "bowl" (photo 2) is baked/boiled and crushed to create the fermentable liquor. These "seedlings" are carefully selected and are of known provenance – just like vines. How much more might we have got from the visit if we had been able to get to a traditional "Hacienda" rather than to the town-based mega-industry we had seen!
I can understand Mexicans visiting the heartland of their national drink, and the UNESCO list is gradually building up a portfolio of "food/drink-related" (agri)cultural landscapes, so Agave deserves its place (indeed I still look forward to the day when Sao Tome's cocoa plantations make it!). But, unless you have a particular interest in Tequila, or can get closer to the source than we did, don't expect too much from a trip out to the eponymous town.

The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.

As with every season we sometimes see the same items making an appearance year on year. If you're one for throwing away clothes once the season is done, then stop! Because they're just going to come back around. So keep these pieces in your wardrobe because you're going to want to keep them.
Not the ones that all the sporty ones the kids are wearing, think more girly and feminine. Look to bralettes in gingham, not only will you nail the fabric of the season but also have one of the seasons go-to items.
The go-to shoe of SS16 is back once again - we hope you've still got them.
It's time to downsize. You now longer need to be lugging around a massive bag with everything you own inside. A bag big enought to fit the essentials will do just fine.
It was the biggest night in Hollywood last night as the 89th Academy Awards took place. Celebrating the past year in cinematic achievement, all the stars came out to look back at the year in film. Big winners included Emma Stone who took home the nod for Best Actress, whilst Casey Affleck picked up Best Actor. For the Best Supporting Roles, Viola Davis of Fences with Mahershala Ali taking home Best Supporting Actor, making him the first-ever Muslim actor to win an Oscar.
But the talking point of the whole evening was one of the biggest mishaps to ever happen on live television. When it came down to announcing the last award of the evening, Best Picture, presenters Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announced the wrong winners after being handed the wrong envelope. Instead of announcing winners, Moonlight, Beatty had the back-up envelope for Best Actress and so saw Emma Stone for La La Land and went with that. Creating the most awkward moment in Oscars history, the cast of La La Land then had to be stopped mid-speech to announce the real winners, Moonlight.
Besides the big winners of the night, the other highlight of the night was the red carpet. As with every awards show that has taken place, we've picked our best and worst dressed..
Keep a look out for everything she gets up to over on our Instagram and also check back here to see our quick-fire interview.
Burberry's Makers House - their pop-up show space that drew over 20,000 visitors back in September is back to showcase their latest collection. Inspired by renowned British sculptor, Henry Moore, the exhibition includes some of Moore's most famous sculptures alongside his models and maquettes.
The exhibition itself is held over two floors and is home to the Spring Summer 2017 collection and the thought process and inspiration behind the runway show.
On the ground floor, you will find the runway presentation alongside a poster gallery of Moore's exhibition posters from around the world, spanning 60 years. As you make your way through to the next room, this is where the collection is held. Two separate spaces - one holds the 78 capes that were featured on the runway and inspired by the scale and form of Moore's sculpture. The other space, holds all the looks - both menswear and womenswear - from the SS17 collection.
As you make your way upstairs this is where you get to see the inspiration of the collection. Towards the back of the space, there is the Burberry Inspiration Room. Here you get a real glimpse of how the collection is put together - fabric swatches, sketches, toiles and polaroids - the attention to detail that Christopher Bailey goes to will leave you in awe.
The collection itself, was unlike any previous Burberry collection. A feminine, poetic and classy collection, that felt softer and more unique than past collections. Cable knits, extravagant shirting, lace dresses, Moore's inspiration was evident.
Open until Monday 27th February, it's a must-see. Not just for the collection but for everything that goes into the collection. If you're stuck for things to do this weekend, the head down to Soho and be prepared to be amazed.
Last week we introduced you to Halima Aden. The 19 year-old Somali-American make history by making her runway debut in her hijab for Kanye West's, Yeezy Season 5 show at New York Fashion Week.
And she's at it again, this time over in Milan. The model has made history again by walking for Alberta Ferretti on the opening day of Milan Fashion Week.
Appearing alongside big name models, Gigi and Bella, Stella Maxwell, Elsa Hosk and Sara Sampaio, the young model fit right in with her supermodel peers.
"Embracing culture and diversity to break the norms and change the thinking of modern-day fashion with Halima Aden," wrote the fashion house over on their Instagram page.
In the past, Milan has been known to lack diversity and women of colour, so to see Aden make her debut in her hijab is a sure sign that the industry is making a change. Other shows in New York and London have also stepped it up. Michael Kors, CHristian Sirianio, Chromat and Tome all featured plus-size models within their shows and over in London, Simone Rocha, cast models of all ages - including 70 year-old, Jan de Villeneuve.
Finally, we're seeing more and more diversity from designers and on the catwalks.
We're looking for sizes 8-24, all you need is to be is in proportion!
The Tonner Doll Company, founded by Robert Tonner in 1991 has been creating the best and most fashionable dolls ever to be found. Designers Marc Jacobs, Ralph Lauren and Oscar de la Renta - to name a few - have all dressed Tonner dolls.
With their latest doll, they've done something they've never done before, nor has any other doll maker. They've made the world's first transgender doll.
Based on transgender teen advocate Jazz Jennings - one of the youngest people to be documented as transgender - the doll was designed and sculpted by the founder, Robert Tonner himself.
"Jazz stands for everything I respect from a human nature point of view," Tonner said. "She's incredibly brave, intelligent, warmhearted and creative."
Instead of being marketed to their adult market, the company is selling the doll to children. Available in two outfits, the doll comes in an identical outfit to Jazz's on the cover of her memoir, 'Being Jazz: My Life as a (Transgender) Teen" and the other is a sparkling white ballerina dress suited for any glam occasion.
"I hope that it can place transgender people in a positive light by showing that we are just like all other people," Jazz said.
The dolls will be available to purchase in July.
Every season there is the one stand-out colour that almost every designer has incorporating into their collection. Spring Summer 17, the colour of the season was pink. Céline, Valentino, Balenciaga and Topshop brought us all shades of pink, with fuschia being the go-to. You couldn't go wrong as long as you were wearing pink.
But as usual, from season to season, trend forecasters and designers like to switch it up and this time is now different. From what we have seen so far from the Autumn Winter 17 shows, purple is the new pink.
A sign of power, royalty and wealth - shades of lavendar, lilac and mauve are all you should be wearing come Fall.
Here are some of the best from AW17 so far.
I'm officially Irish but I've been living in Salzburg, Austria for about 15 years. I own a nail bar in the centre of Salzburg. I employ four people. I'm also a CND Education Ambassador and I am the Austrian Spokesperson for ESSIE L'oreal.
How long have you been within the nail tech industry and who/what inspired you to start?
I started in 2007 - I saw a huge gap in the market and decided to fill it. I rented the smallest shop on the high street - 10sqm - and went from there. I studied Art History and Italian originally, but I'm creative and had retail and project management experience so I knew if I stayed focused, anything was possible.
In the salon, it's definitely my team... they are amazing girls and we are all a crew striving for the same goals. I love my customers, when you see someone once a month and have an hour to catch up, hold their hand and make them feel beautiful... well that's just a win, isn't it?
In session work, it's a rush... working and collaborating with creatives is extremely satisfying, big names, big shoots, productions and the satisfaction of the team work is a real buzz!
Why do you think there's been such a rise and demand for nail art in recent years?
I honestly think it's that little bit of creativity that we allow ourselves. You may not be able to dye your hair pink due to work constrictions but hey, you can express your personality simply by extending your fingertips. Nails are the only thing we can admire about ourselves without using a mirror. When your nails are polished, you feel more polished on a whole. They finish the look.
How do you usually come up with fresh ideas - do trends within fashion play a big part of inspiration?
I tend to revert back to my imagination - I don't like to copy or spend hours on Instagram taking from other peoples designs. I find words/moods, think about what they mean to me and sketch. Then when I'm on the right track, you know, it just feels right. I try not to be anyone else.
What are your predictions for the next big trends in nail art?
What are the go-to items you normally use?
You've done nails for big name designers and their shows, how did this come about?
I was lucky enough to be chosen for a groundbreaking online course called Mastered - based in Bethnal Green. Fashion industry icons such as Nick Knight, Sam McKnight, Val Garland and for nails, Marian Newman, handpicked students to mentor. That catapulted my career. I could learn from a master in minutes, what had taken them years to perfect. By doing Mastered, I began to be taken seriously by agencies, brands and peers.
Painting Helena Christensen's nails for an Airfield campaign. She was one of my first session jobs and the CMO of Airfield is a client of mine. She trusted me and made me part of the team. I got to work with the hair titan, John Vial and Trine Skjoth MUA and photographer, Lado Alexi. That was epic. She really could not have been nicer to me. My hands were shaking... I mean, she's an original supermodel. Wow!
If you could paint anyone's nails, who would it be and why?
Gosh, I don't really have an answer to that... can I say George Clooney?!
I'd love to do Jennifer Lopez' digits, but I just worked Versus Versace at LFW. Gigi and Bella Hadid were there and that was certainly a buzz. Now I'm off to Milan to do Gucci, so who knows.
If you had to wear one nail varnish for the rest of your life, what would it be and why?
I'd go for red... it's a signature classic. You can never go wrong - unless you're wearing brown.. but I don't, so. Red is a statement of confidence, it has to look perfect otherwise it's just a disaster.
What's your number one tip for someone who's just starting within the industry?
Educate yourself. Really, never stop going on workshops. You will ALWAYS learn something or someone! Success isn't only about your technical ability, infact that's only about 15%. True, you must be good but it's all down to your personality and your drive. Take your career seriously. be proud and don't compromise with products.

We are now back in Timperley after another uneventful journey from Ottawa overnight on Monday.
Thanks go to Ken and Helen for putting us up putting up with us in their basement for two and a half weeks.
The picture above takes us back to early November, in Buenos Aires at the start of our South American trip. This huge mural on a building that was near our America Del Sur Hostel was a very convenient landmark whenever we became a little disorientated.
Today there was a forecast for freezing rain, so we bravely headed out to P7 – Kingsmere – in the hope of beating the rain, which had also fallen overnight, leaving a glassy veneer on everything, including the branches pictured above. Freezing rain is not good for trees.
As it turned out, the day was warm, with blue skies. Helen dropped us off at Kingsmere and drove to Fortune, meeting us at Huron Cabin for lunch, after which we all skied back down Fortune Parkway to P10.
Sue and I did the loop to Champlain Lookout while Helen and a courteous Frenchman sorted out the fire. All in all a most pleasurable 14km ski, with about 300 metres ascent.
Because of the poor forecast, all we took by way of cameras was my waterproof Lumix, some of the results of the use of which are shown below.
On the way home I bought some heated mittens. Duh, shouldn't I have done that two weeks ago? The joke is, with all the batteries they need, I'll have to shorten my wax pocket!
It was snowing again so we decided on a day at home whilst Ken whizzed around the 51km Freestyle (Skate Ski) Loppet*. He'd planned on only doing part of it due to his cold, but the conditions were good and he got round the whole course (the same course as the classic loppet in which we took part in 2012 – see link from yesterday's posting) in a bit over five hours.
He kindly collected Sue's bronze medal for coming third in her age category yesterday. She was as surprised as she was pleased!
So all we managed today by way of exercise was a 4km stroll down by the Rideau River with Helen.
Thanks go to Ken and Helen for their input during the judging process.
If you do enter a photographic competition, please do pay attention to cropping your images, which should preferably have their main subject in focus. Take yourself back to the days when you slaved over chemicals in a darkroom, with various gadgets to lighten and darken certain areas and to print just the part of the image you wanted to look at.
This may be the last posting from Ottawa as we go home tomorrow.
* The Freestyle Loppet was won by a Frenchman, in Ottawa as a waxing technician for the French World Cup Sprint team, who started in the second wave two minutes behind the elite skiers. The 'elite' Norwegian who came over the line first was not impressed!
In days past, our Canadian trips concluded with the two day, 160km, Canadian Ski Marathon (of which we only ever managed around 100km). These days our final long ski of the trip has come to be the Gatineau Loppet, a 51km race.
I first did this in 2012 (report here) and Sue and I did it in really tough conditions last year (report here). Those reports give a good indication of what the event is all about so there's no need to repeat the words here.
Meanwhile Ken was struggling with a cold, and had his own waxing problems. I was surprised to see him at Huron, from where he sped off on his newly waxed planks, finishing a few minutes ahead of me.
Here's how the four hundred or so skiers get to the start after leaving their transport at the finish.
It was a relatively warm day – minus 5 to minus 15C, depending on the wind chill. I took a few photos at the start. Here are the 'elite' skiers, of whom number 60 is the last person on the trail. He eventually finished in last place – position 358 out of 433 entries, so 75 people either didn't turn up or missed the 30km cut off (mainly the former).
The Finnish entrants in particular seem to have been very optimistic about their predicted times, which dictates where you start. Here's the second wave setting off, a few of whom we passed later on.
The conditions were great. After a couple of kilometres I knew the cut-off point at 30km would be passed with lots of time (nearly an hour, as it turned out) in hand, so we could enjoy a relatively energetic ski in lovely conditions on great trails without having to worry about 'busting a gut' to make the cut off.
Sue and I started right at the back of the field, in the knowledge that we are two of the slower people taking part. Very quickly you settle into a rhythm and find yourself going along quite comfortably at the pace of the person ahead. There's no point in carrying any food or water as that is provided at 10km intervals.
During the entire race I had no need to open my bum bag, and I took no photos – the two layers of clothing – icebreaker top and RAB vapour rise smock, long johns and fleece trousers – were fine, with the smock's zip being used as a regulator depending on the wind, which at times was quite brisk, leaving us to contend with falling leaves and spindrift every now and then.
Towards the end we became aware of other events taking place as part of the same 'festival'. There are shorter ski races that attract slower participants. These people got in the way, as did the fat tyred bikes who were engaged in a race that crossed the ski trail. But there was just about room for everyone.
It was good to get to the finish in 5 hours 18 minutes, a little behind Ken, and a bit ahead of Sue, (and nearly an hour quicker than last year) where a team of people were removing our timing chips and handing out medals and this year's 'gift' (the event costs over £50 to enter) of a headband.
We all took advantage of the free meal for skiers in the school cafeteria, after which Sue and I lounged around whilst Ken had the massage that helps him wind down.
On the way back to the car, Sue and I adopted the same pose as last year (see header photo) and Ken tried to eat his medal.
Here, for the record, are a few screen dumps extracted from the results pages.
Full results should be here. It appears that Sue and I were the only two Brits taking part this year, in this international race!
Conditions for this years 51km classic ski Gatineau Loppet were good, with mild temperatures and good grooming. Starting just after 9am yesterday, in wave E, we enjoyed fast descents, frosting on the trees, and plenty of Gatorade at checkpoints. A strong breeze sent leaves and twigs into the tracks, but was helpful when blowing from behind! A brief re-wax at 30km saw me with good grip to the end, in 5 hours and 41 minutes, 3rd out of six women competing in my age group! Martin took 5 hours 18 minutes. For comparison, the winner took 2 hours 27 minutes!

In araldica il gallo simboleggia il guerriero prode, vigile e pronto alle armi e, come tale, è solitamente definito dall'attributo ardito. Il gallo simboleggia anche la vigilanza, lardire, la vittoria e la salute.

Il gallo fu consacrato a Marte, dio della guerra, proprio per la sua natura bellicosa. Associato inoltre a numerose altre divinità tra le più note il gallo in taluni casi viene associato anche a Dioniso. Venne anche utilizzato come simbolo di risurrezione nelle prime tombe cristiane e, quando rappresentato con un ramoscello nel becco, è simbolo di vigilanza cristiana. In quest'ottica cattolica, una variante è rappresentata dal gallo ardito con ramoscello nel becco. Rappresenta la fede cristiana, pronta a dare battaglia attraverso la temperanza, e la vigilanza nella fedeltà a san Pietro, di cui il gallo è uno dei simboli. (1 Pt,5-8)

Per questo motivo, durante la Controriforma, soprattutto nelle Chiese alpine delle aree di lingua tedesca (Svizzera, Baviera, Austria e Alto-Adige), sovente venivano posizionati galli sopra il globo e sotto la croce, alla sommità dei campanili, a ribadire la fedeltà a Pietro, e dunque al Papa, come antemurale alla riforma protestante.

La Francia adotta il gallo come uno degli emblemi nazionali.

Nell'araldica civica compare di frequente anche il gallo cedrone o il gallo forcello.

Posizione araldica ordinaria

Il gallo si rappresenta ordinariamente con la cresta e la zampa destra alzata, posizione definita dall'attributo ardito.

Attributi araldici
Cantante se ha la testa all'insù col becco aperto
Combattente se ce ne sono due affrontati e attaccati in atteggiamento di lotta
Fermo se ha entrambe le zampe appoggiate
In amore se fa la ruota con la coda come il pavone (ma è un caso raro)

Attributi per indicare smalti diversi in determinate parti del corpo
Alato
Artigliato o armato
Barbato o bargigliato
Crestato
Imbeccato
Membrato
Speronato

Review: Quo Vadis (Can) - Forever...
www.quovadis.qc.ca
Label: VomIT Productions
Genre: Melodic Death Metal
Review online: March 25, 2007
Reviewed by: Lars Christiansen
Rated 4.13/5 (82.5%) (8 Votes)
You know, Quo Vadis seemingly get a fair few comparisons with Cryptopsy which I don't personally agree with. So, they're both from Canada, and they've both used the services of guitarist Alex Auburn… but that's where the similarities end. This is technical (though not progressive or brutal), melodic death metal, and it occasionally reminds me of Sceptic and later Death riff-wise, while still maintaining its own unique edge with a huge usage of classical influences. 'Forever' is the band's debut album, and from what I hear, their most experimental.
Opening with 'Legions of the Betrayed', the album gets a rocket fueled kick start that wavers only on the sublime acoustic sections. It's obvious that every note, beat and vocal line has been scrutinized, re-arranged and perfected to the nth degree, such is the obscene technicality of the album. Nothing is out of place, everything is completely metronome faultless. However, all this perfection does not push out catchiness or over sterilize the albums sound, it still manages to get a killer groove going on in 'Zero Hour', and the solos still manage to sound ad libbed (even though, I'd imagine they're probably not). Imagine Carcass' 'Heartwork' album, albeit more technical and dark, with the odd violin(!) section, overhauled dynamics and the pedal pushed firmly to the metal speed wise and you'd be getting close to what Quo Vadis sound like. The final track takes an interesting turn vocally, with a guest female opera singer who mirrors the harsh vocals – it works surprisingly well, and is a classy way to end the album.
Well worth a look for those who think that melo-death as a genre has already touched all bases, this will be an invigorating listen for your jaded ears.


The Youth Fisheries Sciences is an youth led conservation organization founded in 2014 to raise awareness of our fisheries and benefit them, and promote fishing. It is based in Howard County, Maryland.
We strive to inform, at local levels, of the dangers of environmental damage to the health of our fisheries and we promote the wonderful sport of recreational fishing.
To spread awareness, we will inform our community not just through indirectly, but through a hands on experience of angling. Every year, we will hold multiple trips to our local waterways, and hold annual events, and educate people about catch and release, and other rules of fishing in the state of Maryland.

I'm currently working on drawing the last few pages of Carrie's Cough, and as I work I'm thinking about what I am doing to craft the book. Although I've sketched, drawn and coloured almost every page, the book still feels like rough stone, or lumps of clay still to be formed. It's only when I get to the end — a battle that can be hard-fought but worth the pain and struggle — that I can stand back and look at the rough shape I've pushed and shoved together and see what it looks like.
When I'm in the middle of drawing a book, I can't see the wood for the trees. I'm intimately involved with every tiny detail, and detached from the whole. It feels like building a house by concentrating on the contours on the face of each brick, one by one, contemplating the reds and purples of fired earth, and only stepping back and seeing if it looks like a house when you have put the last slate on the roof.
When I'm in this intense state I feel both acutely lost and disconnected from the story, and intimately involved and invested in each panel as I draw it. I have to trust that my past self has thought it all through — what goes on what page; how it all flows. It's at this stage when I start thinking about other things to do that might feel more fun and rewarding; and, inevitably, the next book which is just sitting there, written, and waiting for my attention.
Nikki and Ian from the Comic Arts Festival Podcast were asking the other day about how best to deal with the temptation of working on new ideas when you're trying to finish your current project. How do you stay focussed? How do you keep the motivation there when there are other, newer and sparklier, ideas waiting for your attention?
I replied saying that Sophie and I are usually thinking and discussing our next three books while working on the current one. Oddly enough, that seems to keep me focussed, because my reward for finishing this book is to start the next one — by which I mean physically putting pen to paper. But I'm always thinking ahead, and collecting reference for future stories when I see it. In some cases I need to draw out a rough so that Sophie has something to work from to write the words, even though I'm still working on the current book.
One of our unborn books is a young adult adventure story set in the burning heat of an unusually blazing summer, and it involves a long train journey from one end of the country to the other. Sophie and I retraced the fictional steps of our character for real last summer, and recorded everything we saw for later – despite the fact that we won't start on that book until after the next one. Every hot day I make notes and sketch people in their summer clothes. When I'm on the train I'm jotting down overheard conversations on my phone, so later I can populate the carriages with people doing crosswords, discussing restaurants and making phone calls streaming with office jargon.
Another of our (as yet) gestating books is based at the turn of the 20th century. Sophie and I have been visiting museums and other resources to take photographs and absorb the atmosphere of the time, from suffrage to shopkeeping. We are discussing talks we might do alongside it, how we might market it.
A third book takes place in a music shop. While in Manchester recently (on a research trip for the Edwardian story), we came across a large shop window full of ukuleles, keyboards, guitars, and percussive ephemera. We stopped to film the selection of things they had on sale, to remind us *much* later. We probably won't start that book until 2020. But when we do, we will have all our reference stuff and ideas ready to go.
It can get confusing, and it does mean that the book I'm currently working on feels more like icing the cake than finding and mixing the ingredients. But every book has to go through these stages, and I have to go through them too.
Sophie has pointed out that when I'm about half way through drawing a book I start to go through a period of doubt that anyone will be interested in it. I can't see it clearly as a story, because I only know it now panel by panel. I feel uneasy, even though deep down I trust that Sophie and I must have picked this tale for a reason. I think, were we wrong to think this was a good story? Will other people get it? And when I finally colour the last page, and Sophie and I go through it as a complete story for the first time, it shocks me. It reminds me of why we did it, and I feel a relief that it *is* good after all. Or, at least, we think it is!
It takes a lot of sticking power to get to the final page. I try and stop myself from reading it from the beginning before I've finished. The doubt phase I go through would mean wanting to redraw too much of the book, and I have to stop myself from allowing that kind of nonsense. That way madness lies — if you keep looking critically at what you've created before you get to the end, the end will never come. Just keep ploughing on and when you've made the final mark, *then* go back to the start and make changes.
And don't worry about getting inspiration for your next story before you're ready to use it. It's good to have lots of ideas! And when the current book is grinding you down, do a bit of preparatory work on a future tale for a change of scene, before coming back to it refreshed. As long as you finish it, there is all the time in the world to work on the next ones. Enjoy the process and stick to your guns, and it will reward you in the end with something you feel proud of.

When it comes to keeping society moving, few people are as critically important as civil engineers. Working as the backbone of civilization, these professionals make it their priority that the world as it's known runs smoothly and without any serious setbacks or problems. They make it their goal to ensure that they design systems and structures that will work perfectly for their clients, helping them to create a better and simpler world for tomorrow. However, not all engineering teams are made the same, and you want to make sure you work with the highest quality professionals around. Here are a few tips you can keep in mind that will help you to find the best civil engineering business near you today.
In order to find the best engineering companies in Brisbane, you'll need to keep an eye out for a team that takes pride in its dedication to the original vision. When professionals really care about what they do, they'll hold true to the set of values and goals that they laid out for themselves since the beginning. Make sure that you find experts who strive to ensure that every design is built on safety with consideration for the environment and people who will be affected by this construction. The more a team is dedicated to making the world into something more than it is now, the more you'll be able to have confidence in their skills moving forward.
When it comes to something as complicated as engineering, it's incredibly important that you find a team that's just as dedicated to their own code of ethics as they are to their success. This will mean looking for a business that plainly lays out their commitment to providing respect to their client, their team, and everyone affected by their work. It means showing kindness and consideration to everything they are involved with. And it certainly means holding true to the goal of turning this world into the best that it could be.

Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+: Everything you need to know!
Samsung once again has a fantastic pair of flagships.
Samsung's new Galaxy S9 and S9+ are definitely iterative updates over last year's dramatically redesigned Galaxy S8 series, but that's not a problem. Instead of going back to the drawing board altogether, Samsung focused on fixing a lot of the issues while making drastic improvements to the camera experience and retaining everything that made the last generation so great.
Whether you're looking to buy or make the most of your new Galaxy S9, we have all of the information you need right here.
May 16, 2018 — Samsung announces two new colors and ARCore is finally available
The S9 series launched in a handful of stunning colors and Samsung's now adding two more to the list with Sunrise Gold and Burgundy Red.
If you're interested in the Sunrise Gold variant, you'll be able to pick it up starting this June in Australia, Chile, Germany, Hong Kong, Korea, Mexico, Russia, Spain, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates and Vietnam. The eye-catching Burgundy Red will, unfortunately, see a much more limited release, with availability only planned for China and Korea later this month.
In addition to the new colors, it was also discovered that both the S9 and S9+ finally support Google's ARCore!
What are the big changes over the Galaxy S8 series?
In a word, the camera. Samsung has kept the primary sensor at 12 megapixels, but that's where the similarities end. The S9 and S9+ have adjustable apertures, switching seamlessly between f/1.5 and f/2.4, sitting in front of an all-new sensor that is great in low light. The Galaxy S9+ also gets a second 12MP sensor with a "telephoto" lens that provides 2X zoom and facilitates Live Focus, Samsung's version of portrait mode that debuted with the Galaxy Note 8.
Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ specs
In terms of specs, the Galaxy S9+ (but only the S9+) has two more gigabytes of RAM than last year's models. And let's not downplay the importance of the fingerprint sensor being relocated to a much more sensible place on the back of the phone — below the now-vertical camera module.

Should you upgrade to the Galaxy S9?
This is the big question — and as always, it depends. If you're running a Galaxy S6 or S7, and want to move to something new in the Samsung world, the answer is absolutely. If you're rocking a still-new Galaxy S8 or Note 8, the answer is no. While there are substantial differences that clearly make the Galaxy S9 a better phone, the S8 is just a year old at this point, and has most of the Galaxy S9's features thanks to its Android 8.0 Oreo update.

Is the Galaxy S9 better than the competition?
There are so many great phones on the market right now — how do you decide which one to buy? Here are our looks at the new phones compared to some of the best devices on the market.
The Galaxy S9 is the smaller of the flagships, and here's how it compares to some of the other major phones on the market.

Should you buy the Galaxy S9 or larger S9+?
OK, so you've made up your mind to buy the Galaxy S9 — but wait, should you get the S9 or the larger S9+?
Unlike last year, the Galaxy S9+ feels like more of the "default" choice of the two. It has extra RAM and a secondary rear camera in addition to its overall larger screen and bigger battery — yet the price delta between the two hasn't changed. If you can handle the size difference and would like the extra battery life, go for the Galaxy S9+.
Here's why the Galaxy S9+ is worth the extra money over the GS9
What colors are available?
Like last year, there are multiple colors of the Galaxy S9 series to purchase: Midnight Black, Lilac Purple, Coral Blue and Titanium Gray. U.S. buyers only get access to three of the four — silver is only available internationally — and both blue and purple are slight updates over last year.
A few months after the S9's release, Samsung introduced two new colors in the form of Sunrise Gold and Burgundy Red. These models will be available in select markets around the world, but there are currently no plans to launch them in the U.S.
What color Galaxy S9 should I buy: Black, blue, purple, or silver?
Galaxy S9 and S9+ get Sunrise Gold and Burgundy Red color options; ARCore support
Where can I get the best deal on a Galaxy S9?
The Galaxy S9 is now available worldwide, both from carriers and also unlocked.
In the U.S., the Galaxy S9 costs between $720 and $800, while the Galaxy S9+ goes for between $870 and $915. For all the details, take a look at our roundup of the best Galaxy S9 deals.

What's this about bad battery life with the Exynos processor?
Samsung has regularly used both its own processors and Qualcomm's latest chips in different markets, and it's regularly been a point of discussion between enthusiasts as to which one is "better" overall.
In the Galaxy S9 and S9+, there's a clear differentiation in that the Exynos versions of the phone have been getting much shorter battery life. To make things worse, the Qualcomm models are also outperforming Exynos in many synthetic benchmark tests.
So what can you do? Well, not much — Samsung doesn't sell both versions of the phones in the same markets, so you can't exactly cross-shop the two processors. The hope is that Samsung could update the firmware on the Exynos models to improve processor efficiency a bit.

Exemplary Professional Practice
Watchman device procedure making a difference at Carle
Once patients are past the six-week mark, they are relieved because they don't have to worry about blood checks and thinners," said Michele Priest, RN program coordinator – Structural Heart. "People who have longstanding AFib or atrial fibrillation are scared about having strokes. This device doesn't eliminate all strokes but does reduce a patients' risk comparable to Coumadin."
On average, the Watchman operation takes about two hours. It only takes a couple of days to recover. Then, six weeks later, patients typically can stop taking blood thinners – after the heart tissue grows over the implant to form a barrier against blood clots.
Patients are very happy to give up blood thinners and have less bleeding and blood draws," Priest said. "It's great that we can now offer patients with a high risk of bleeding an alternative to blood thinners."
Priest is the program coordinator for procedures like the Watchman, TAVR, etc.
There are a lot of newer procedures coming out, and we're doing research trials," she said. "It's quite amazing because this is my position. I get to learn all these new things."
Last year, Carle Foundation Hospital performed close to 30 Watchman procedures.
"Patients who receive the Watchman device are a part of a national registry," Priest said. "It's like that with newer procedures that are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved. There are frequent follow-ups with their doctor and a lot of paperwork to maintain."
Electrophysiologist Mbu Mongwa, MD, with Carle's Heart and Vascular Institute, and interventional cardiologist Issam Moussa, MD, MBA, are the two who introduced Watchman at Carle in 2018.
From an emphasis on patient education before the procedure to in-procedure execution, the care team includes:
Echo techs for imaging
Radiology techs
Circulating nurse staff
Two physicians: Dr. Mongwa, as the electrophysiologist, and Dr. Moussa, as the interventional cardiologist
Ahmad Shihabi, MD, for echocardiogram imaging
The device offers a wonderful benefit for patients.
"Coumadin takers are frequently admitted to the hospital for gastrointestinal bleeds and falls," Priest said. "We see less of those occurrences with the help of the Watchman. Fewer patients are on blood thinners, so there are fewer bleeding complications."

Postcard from the Past - A Wrestling Instinct
Written by Dick Perue
"Cokeville's James Teichert (a 145 pound grappler) is definitely elite after getting a late takedown to beat Moorcroft's Tate Ellison 3-1 and win his fourth title," the Casper Star-Tribune reported on March 1.
It continued, he "became only the 15th Wyoming wrestler ever to win four individual state titles."
Coincidentally, Teichert was present at a wrestling tournament in Saratoga, when a plaque was dedicated honoring Wyoming's first four-time state champion wrestler, Dave Edington.
"After his win Dave was hailed as 'the best.' And it's no wonder. Dave is strong, fast and smart – a combination rarely found in a high school wrestler. He has what you call a wrestling instinct."
So claims a March 14, 1960 article in The Saratoga Sun after Edington was crowned Wyoming's first, the nation's second and Saratoga's only four-time state champion.
A feature in the Sept. 10, 2014 issue of The Saratoga Sun noted, "If Edington was not born to be a wrestler, he was certainly bred to be one."
He was from a family where everyone was expected to work, like his father, who ranched, baled hay, built fence and followed construction in the Upper North Platte River Valley. The creed was if you didn't work hard or put everything into what you were doing, you got left behind. Growing up he had to live by one simple rule, "It was either toughen up or get the crap kicked out of you."
And he had his hands full. His cousins, Ron and Norm Perue, were both two-time state mat champions on the newly-formed Saratoga Panther wrestling squad, plus many of his other cousins and friends wrestled, as well.
His mat career began in the sixth grade on the living room floor of his cousins' house, trying to figure out the sport. By the time he was in eighth grade, Edington's athletic ability caught the attention of Saratoga High School wrestling coach Dale Federer, who invited him to practice with the team. As a freshman he knew the sport and was ready to join the team.
Dave went undefeated and won the 120 pounds crown in 1957, helping the Panthers to the first ever team state championship in any sport. Better yet, Wyoming athletics did not have classifications in wrestling until 1963 – after Edington graduated. Making any champion truly the best in the state.
Edington went undefeated throughout his Wyoming high school career – one of two wrestlers in Wyoming's history to do so. He is also the only four-time champion to win in all classifications.
As with many accomplishments in high school, success carried over into later life. Wrestling gave Edington countless awards, an education and a career. But most important, it gave him a wrestling instinct – the drive to succeed and the expectation to be the best. That desire carried over into a career of teaching and coaching.
His many accomplishments over the past 50 years include teaching industrial arts and coaching wrestling for 45 years at Ronan, Mont. He retired last fall.
He coached eight state championship mat teams and 32 individual Montana state champions. He was named Montana Wrestling Coach of the Year seven times and was runner-up for National High School Association Wrestling Coach of the Year twice.
Edington served on the coaching staff of junior national wrestling teams which traveled to Soviet Union, Turkey and Iran and was a coaching staff member for the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and an administration staff member for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.
Edington was instrumental in establishing youth wrestling programs, first in Montana, then across the country.
After founding one of the first youth wrestling tournaments in Montana, Edington remarked that he "wanted to help grow the sport that grew him."
