The spine is the central axis of the human body. It holds us upright, gives us mobility and protects the sensitive spinal cord. Despite its remarkable properties, however, more than 40% of all adults suffer from some kind of spinal disorder and lower back pain is one of the leading causes of work disability in the industrialized countries of the world. Moreover, the incidence of spinal disorders in individuals below twenty years of age continues to grow. Whether you suffer from temporary lumbago, chronic back pain, or a gradually worsening wear-related condition, it is essential to regard backpain as an important alarm signal.


Dodge's legacy is performance. Could you PLEASE build a car along the lines of a Civic or a TC or a suitible replacement for the Neon SRT-4.
A new sport compact with the magnificent 2.4 turbo would sell like hotcakes.
All the dealers that I talk to when I take my SRT-4 Neon in tell me they could easily sell a sport compact but dodge doesnt have one...???
Yes, there are sport compact replacements on the way. Fiat 500 Abarth will be sold in the beginning of 2012. New SRT4 is rumored for launch in 2013.
The fiat 500 will not sell. It is too ugly. and too small.
Compare it to a mazda 3, a TC, or a civic.
Make it bigger. modernize the styling and put the 285 horsepower 2.4 liter in it as the performance option engine and you will sell tons of them.
I dont see a whole lot of BMW minis on the road. But I see many many of the competitors mentioned above.
Dont make the same mistake as daimler and the caliber.
I am sorry Zadmiral- This is quite possibly the most ignorant comment I have ever read! I am quite blown away by it actually. Are you seriously comparing the Abarth to a Mazda 3, Scion, or a Civic? Not only is the 500 Abarth one of the most desired and stylish hot-hatches in the world, but it is a blast to drive. It is incredible well reviewed, regarded, and has an extremely rich racing heritage. It does not exist in the same universe as those three brands.
Make it bigger, make it 285 BHP! Really? For a car the size of a 500? 160 for an SS is plenty. 170 BHP rumored for the american should be more than enough. It does NOT need to be bigger, badder, more American, or more anything. This car is beautifully designed, very well engineered, and it carries on its shoulders the long performance history of the scorpion badge.
Hahahaha, the Fiat 500 is ugly, we should compare it to the Civic?
Also, your entire argument makes no sense. You want Fiat to completely restyle the 500; make it bigger, more powerful, and act as a successor to the Neon SRT4 to compete in the sport compact market. An iconic car like the 500 you want to be changed completely from its roots? It is meant to be a fun, nimble, and tiny european subcompact, that is its DNA. It isn't supposed to be large, offer lots of cargo capacity, or be extremely powerful.
Why not let Dodge create its own successor? A new Dodge-branded compact car, with an SRT4 variant. From what I have heard, this is going to be the case, and the new SRT4 will indeed be the spiritual successor to the Neon SRT4.
"Also coming in 2013 is a fuel-saving nine-speed automatic transmission that will first become available on the sedan that will replace the Dodge Caliber compact in April 2013"
Admiral, I'm really confused by your position. You say there is no replacement for your Neon SRT-4 (a 2900lb 225hp car). You point to cars like the Mazda 3, the TC, etc as example of replacements. Yet you say dealers have nothing to offer. This makes no sense. A Mazdaspeed3 or Cobalt SS are essentially direct replacements for your neon. Similar weight, more hp. What is the problem? The neon is no better looking then any of the other cars you mention. They are all far less attractive then the 500 to my eye.
Is your issue based solely that want your next car to have a Dodge badge? Seems childish, but then why complain about a fiat?
There are lots of 3000lb sport compacts. There is no need for fiat to add another into the mix. What we need are lightweight sport compacts. The Cooper S is just under 2700lbs. Better, but not exactly a lightweight. This is where the Abarth will shine.
You Clearly misunderstood what I said.
My 04 was rated at 230 hp, but was independently tested by several venues to be closer to 265.
Which explains why I smoke the cobalt SS with no problems.
Dodge screwed up with the European Caliber styling , but the engine was upgraded to 300. It didnt sell.
It was too heavy and too ugly.
Im just hoping for a new body style thats comparable to the Civics,Cobalts etc.
Built on the Calibers chassis right here in the US. not in Italy.
Everybody has thier favorite "brand" loyalties. Mine is Dodge.
Do you think Chevy guys would like a cobalt that was just a rebadged Toyota??
Or a Ford guy with a rebadged Mazda...I think not.
The Abarth is nice. But its a Fiat not a domestic design and carries no Dodge heritage.
Strip the body off a Caliber and redesign. Stick the 285-300 horse motor in it and it will sell like hotcakes.
I guess I didnt make myself clear. I dont want a redesigned Abarth . I want a redisigned Caliber.
But if I wanted a subcompact I would probably choose the 500 over the BMW mini.
More bang for the buck, and Im sure it is a blast to drive.
I'm still really confused. <smiley image='anim_confused.gif'/> If I understand you correctly, you want a DODGE replacement for the Neon, and it can only be a Dodge. You are not happy with the current Dodge Caliber. You are looking for a DODGE vehicle that meets your requirements. I can appreciate that.
I have no idea what this has to do with the Fiat 500, or the upcoming Abarth variant?
I have not seen any evidence of the Fiat brand (or the Abarth performance division) being marketed as a competitor to Dodge. Yes, Fiat owns part of Chrysler (and hence the Dodge brand) but there does not seem to be any evidence of brand mixing. What we have heard from Fiat concerning brand positioning is there is not going to be any diluting of the Dodge brand. Fiat (and Abarth) will be kept very distinct and separate from Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge.
I can sympathize with your frustration about the direction the Dodge brand taken. I happen to feel the same way about Honda/Acura. But neither are relevant to the Fiat 500.
Read the excerpt from my earlier post. The replacement for the Dodge Caliber is coming April 2013.
This has nothing to do with the Fiat 500. Chrysler/Fiat are capable of producing multiple vehicles for multiple segments, believe it or not.
You have mentioned several times you don't like the styling of the Caliber or it being truck-like. Watch Autoline Detroit, where Joe Dehner (head of Dodge and Ram Design), talked about this subject. He described how the design teams at Chrysler are now separated between the different brands. Joe talked specifically about how Dodge and Ram will have different styling going forward, and Dodge vehicles will no longer have to carry the "visual baggage" of the Ram trucks.
When you say you smoke the Cobalt SS, generally you should specify if that is a supercharged or turbocharged model, since the Turbo model is significantly improved.
Zadmiral, A good point was brought up by CaliberSRT4. I also struggle to see a Neon SRT-4 "smoking" a turbo Cobalt SS.
'04 Neon: 230hp, 250ft-lbs, 2900lbs.
'10 Cobalt: 260hp, 260ft-lbs, 2926lbs, no-lift shifting.
Your Horsepower figures are "advertised"
Not actuual by any stretch.
And only once was it even close...not exactly hands full.
Cars gotta get out run on pavement...not paper.
Im aware of the truck/car split.
My reference to "making the 500 bigger.etc." was an effort to show the need for a vehicle in the class with the other cars I mentioned. Which are all larger than the 500. But sell really well as in volume.
You claim is ridiculous. I can say I "smoked" a mustang GT with my Integra GS-R. That does not make it a faster car than the GT. Just means on that day, with that other person driving the GT, they got beat. Could be any number of reasons. Means nothing.
Stock vs stock, your Neon is no faster than a cobalt. Period. Really, it's a bit slower. The HP and weight number suggest this, the test results prove this.
Neither vehicle has any relevance to Fiat.
Speaking of Car & Driver, I found their lightning lap results to be very interesting.
The Cobalt SS Turbo completed a lap in 3:13.0 which is very quick for its class. That is faster than the 2011 STI in fact. Even the 2011 V6 Mustang beats the STI, despite being stuck on the 114 mph limiter for 15 seconds during the lap. Also, the STI and EVO are $10,000+ more expensive than the Mustang, Cobalt SS, etc. The Mustang GT destroys STI and EVO for $5,000 less.
The Caliber SRT4 doesn't do very well compared to the Mazdaspeed3, and is roughly comparable to the earlier Mustang GT and Cobalt SS Supercharged.
Civic Si is downright slow, while commanding the same price point as Cobalt SS, Mustang, Mazdaspeed3, etc.
The higher classes are kind of interesting, as the Corvette Z06 (with Z07 package) wins both the LL3 and LL4 classes. Although the Viper is really the fastest when including the prior years.
Rather than start a new thread, I thought I will add a comment here about performance. Now that the press is getting their hands on the 500 for review, it is interesting to read the reviews regarding the 500's acceleration, or lack-of. The reviewers generally like the 500, but when they talk about the acceleration, it's "adequate" or 'ho-hum". If this current Fiat 500 had come out in the 1980s, it would be considered a "hot hatchback" or a "pocket rocket". If those terms sound familiar, that's what the motoring press was saying about the then new 1983 VW GTI. This hot hatch had a blistering 90 bhp and weighed in at only 2100 lbs. I never owned one but I drove a new '83 at an autocross once. It was quick, but I thought it had way too much body lean in the corners. And the 0-60 mph time? 9.7 seconds. I have seen published reports anywhere from 9.0 to 10.5 seconds. And the U.S. version of the 500? 0-60 in 9.7 seconds (Car & Driver). Funny how times have changed.


While it seems that Joplin High no longer has a dedicated Glee group (please let us know if this is otherwise!), the program in 1911 was a large one with 22 members. It was also considered the oldest organization in the school, established in 1905. The annual production planned for a May Thursday evening was a one act comedy, "Hector." Preceding the play, the audience was to be treated to an all boy performance of "solos, duets, quartets and choruses," the product of several months of preparation. Mr. L.S. Dewey was credited for preparing the singing, while Miss Edna Hazeltine was credited with the instruction and coaching for the play.
Undoubtedly, for one night in May, Joplin had a glee ol' time.

CADET PORTAL
NCO HUB
Aircraft Recognition
Interview with Detective Dan Thomson
A little about my background
I joined 1414 as a 13 year old 'probationer' cadet (as we were called then) in 1998. I spent the next nine years in the Corps, rising through the cadet ranks to be promoted to Cadet Warrant Officer shortly after my 18th birthday in 2003. I was a CWO for four years before I reached the age where I had to leave as a cadet, but I immediately re-joined as a member of staff. During my time at the Squadron I had many fantastic experiences over the full range of cadet activities.
In 2008 I had to resign my commission shortly after joining the Police. I spent seven years as a uniformed response officer based in Uckfield and Hailsham, covering Wealden district which includes Crowborough. I approached the Police in the same way I had been taught to approach the Corps – I volunteered for every activity I could! As a result I have been trained as a response driver, a Taser operator, in 'riot-control' tactics, and as an advanced suspect interviewer.
In January 2015 I moved to Eastbourne as a Detective; I still cover the Crowborough area. My role involves the investigation of very serious and complex crime, such as robbery, drug trafficking, serious assaults, and fraud.
I am absolutely convinced that I would not be in the position I am now, if it weren't for my time at 1414. It gave me a self-confidence that I would never have had otherwise.
I still live in Uckfield, I am married to Jenny and I have two boys, James (3) and William (1), who I hope will join the Corps one day!
Dan. It's been some time since you were a cadet, but can you remember why you joined in the first place?
Because I wanted to be a fighter pilot! Joining the RAF and flying fast jets seemed really exciting, so I contacted the Careers Office and asked for advice on what I should do. They told me about the Air Cadets and that my nearest squadron was 1414, even though I lived in Uckfield.
I quickly grew out of wanting to be a fighter pilot, but joining the ATC was probably the best thing I did as a teenager. It opened so many doors for me and set me up for the future in a way that I would never have even imagined at the time I joined. I turned from a shy, reserved boy into a confident and capable young man.
I never even considered transferring to 2530, Crowborough was definitely the squadron for me!
What was the most exciting activity/event you ever got to take part in when you were a cadet?
I did so much during my time as a cadet that I find it really difficult to choose one event in particular. I always loved 'green' activities, and 1414 is incredibly lucky to have the facilities it has on the camp and in the wider Ashdown Forest. I had some great experiences on deployed exercises over the years.
For sheer excitement, though, nothing could top the Parachute Course I took as a 17 year old Cadet Flight Sergeant in 2002. It was a three-day course in Oxfordshire with the Joint Services Parachute Training Team, ending in a solo 3,500 feet static-line parachute jump from a light aircraft. It's hard to describe the mixed emotions of anticipation, delight and sheer terror which result from deliberately jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft.
There have been a lot of changes over the last few years, can you tell us a bit about how things ran in your day?
From what I understand of how the Corps operates now, there used to be far more emphasis on classroom-based learning than there is now. My impression at the time was that the Corps was pushing everyone to go through as much classification training as possible; and back then that meant being taught out of a manual, in front of a blackboard – not much incentive to attend for those who had spent a whole day at school already! I spent a long time as the Squadron Training Officer and getting the right balance of classroom and practical activities, was a frequent problem.
There also seems to be a far greater range of activities available to cadets now; I'm often amazed at what I see cadets getting up to on Facebook!
You were promoted to CWO and then joined the staff team for a while, what made you decide to become a member of staff at the squadron?
I was incredibly proud of that promotion to Cadet Warrant Officer; I was the first one the Squadron had had in a long time. In those days being a CWO meant that you could stay until age 22 and I did; 1414 was by that point such a big part of me that I wouldn't have considered doing anything else.
After I reached 22 it was a natural progression for me to return as a member of staff. I spent a short time as a CI before being granted a commission as a Pilot Officer; something else I was very proud of.
Shortly after gaining my commission, however, I joined the Police and soon found that my shifts weren't compatible with being able to commit to the Squadron. With great reluctance I had to give up the Squadron to concentrate on my profession, but I have always had it in mind to return some day when I have more time on my hands.
Can you give one piece of advice to a twelve or thirteen year old who is considering joining the squadron now?
There is something that was constantly repeated when I was in the Squadron – it was said to me many times, and I must have said it myself to every group of new cadets I saw. It was, "you get out of the Corps, what you put in". I know that will still be true today.
The advice I would give is to throw yourself into every aspect of Squadron life, take every opportunity that's offered and volunteer for everything you can. You won't regret it.

Q: AngularJs Sort Table on already inserted data I've been trying to sort table data on click (ng-click if i use angularJS)
I'm getting data from database.I only need Sort functionality, if it happens through angularJs I would be very happy
Here it is what i did till now, I haven't done  much as I'm new to AngularJS
@model WebApplication3.Models.StudentModel

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Index";
}

Students

<button class="create btn btn-success"> Create New</button>

        Key
        First Name
        Last Name
        Profile picture
        Options

    @foreach (var student in Model._StudentList)
    {

            @student.StudentID
            @student.FirstName
            @student.LastName

}

I need to sort firstName, LastName when they click on respective th tag
Thanks

A: There is a sort table filter in AngularJS, which his name is OrderBy (documentation)
Currently, you cannot use that with your code, because OrderBy filter only works if AngularJS writes himself the table.
Example :

    Name

    Phone Number

    Age

  {{friend.name}}
  {{friend.phone}}
  {{friend.age}}

In your case, the table is written in the view, and I think the only way to do it now with your code, is using a jQuery plugin.
Sadly, you loose the power of AngularJS...
Solution :
A solution would be to use ng-init attribute :

         {{ x.name + ', ' + x.country }}

And you can use names variable in your controller, like :
console.log($scope.names); // Display the names

A: oh thats so sad, can i bind my MVC Model data to AngularJs
I mean like we bind JSON data
var app = angular.module('studentApp', []);
app.controller('StudntCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
    htp.get('Student.json').success(function(data){
        $scope.People = data;
    });
});

like wise can i bind MVC model data to $scope.People ???

John and Yoko's Nutopia
Yesterday, it was reported that the townhouse at 1 White Street in Tribeca, which sold three years ago for $3.25 million, is back on the market--gutted--for $4.25 million. The structure's claim to fame is that it was dubbed the "Nutopian Embassy" by John Lennon and Yoko Ono on April 1, 1973, when they declared themselves ambassadors of the newly formed "conceptual country" of Nutopia.
A week earlier, on March 23, Lennon had been given an order to leave the United States within 60 days. Though Yoko Ono had a green card from her earlier marriage, the American government refused to grant one to Lennon because of a marijuana conviction in the UK. Due to their "radical" politics, Lennon and Ono were also being hounded by the FBI, who followed them and tapped their phones. In an effort to bring attention to the ridiculousness of their plight, Lennon and Ono created Nutopia, declaring:
We announce the birth of a conceptual country, NUTOPIA.
Citizenship of the country can be obtained by declaration of your awareness of NUTOPIA.
NUTOPIA has no land, no boundaries, no passports, only people.
NUTOPIA has no laws other than cosmic.
All people of NUTOPIA are ambassadors of the country.
As two ambassadors of NUTOPIA, we ask for diplomatic immunity and recognition in the United Nations of our country and our people.
Nutopian Embassy
One White Street
Why, exactly, they chose 1 White Street as the fictional Nutopian Embassy is unclear. They had no personal connection to the building. At the time, they were still living on Bank Street in Greenwich Village (they would soon move to the Dakota), about a twenty-five minute from White Street. Perhaps it was just a building they'd walked by. Or maybe they liked the symbolism of the street's name. The flag of Nutopia (pictured above) was simply a white handkerchief, which symbolized surrender.
As Lennon would write in the title track to Mind Games a few months later: "Love is surrender -- you got to let it go." Mind Games would also include the "Nutopian International Anthem" (a few seconds of silence at the end of side one) and the printed "Declaration of Nutopia" in the liner notes.
Yoko Ono noted on last year's anniversary of the birth of Nutopia:
Nutopia is a country that exists in all of us.
John and I created this imaginary world.
We called a press conference and produced a white handkerchief from our pockets
and said "This is a flag to Surrender to Peace."
Not Fight for Peace, but "Surrender" to Peace was the important bit.
All of us represent Nutopia.
On this day of the birth of Nutopia,
Let's all wave the white flag or handkerchief in our minds
And say "I love all of me" and have lots of fun.

Michael Egan, Who Accused Hollywood Figures Of Sexual Abuse, Indicted For Fraud
The former child actor made headlines earlier in 2014 when he sued X-Men director Bryan Singer for childhood sexual abuse. Now he is being charged with wire fraud in a federal court.

Michael Egan at an April 17 press conference in Beverly Hills.
Michael Egan, the former child actor who in April 2014 accused X-Men director Bryan Singer of childhood sexual abuse, was indicted for wire and securities fraud in a federal court in North Carolina earlier this month.
The criminal indictment, filed on Dec. 16 in the U.S. District Court in Charlotte and first reported by TMZ, said Egan "fraudulently induced victims to invest money for" businesses like holiday-themed attractions and television shows.
"Instead of using the money as agreed upon, and repaying the investment, Egan stole a majority of the money to fund his lifestyle," the indictment said.
Egan's attorney, Mark Foster, denied all allegations against his client and said that he intended to take the case to trial.
"Our position is he is not guilty," Foster told BuzzFeed News. "There was no intention to defraud. We'll fight this all the way."
According to the indictment, Egan allegedly falsified bank documents to show that he had more than $13 million in assets, when in reality he had less than $11,000. He would then allegedly convince people to invest money in businesses that included "Halloween themed attractions, holiday themed attractions, and television shows."
Instead of actually investing the assets, the indictment alleges, "Egan used the vast majority of the money ... to pay expenses such as rent, car lease, groceries, restaurants, medical bills, and pet care."
The exact charges against Egan are one count each of wire fraud and securities fraud. If found guilty, he could be fined millions of dollars and spend up to 45 years in prison.
Earlier this year, Egan made headlines after he filed a number of civil lawsuits accusing several Hollywood figures — including Singer — of sexually abusing him when he was underage.
The highly publicized suits rocked the entertainment world and brought renewed attention to a decade-old scandal centering around Marc Collins-Rector, an internet entrepreneur and convicted sex offender who threw lavish parties where powerful Hollywood men allegedly had sex with underage boys.
But then Egan's cases began to fall apart after he was found to have made contradictory statements in an earlier sexual assault lawsuit against Collins-Rector. He has since had a falling-out with his attorney and dropped his civil lawsuits against Singer and the others.

Take a look under your bathroom sink. What do you see in that cabinet? Besides the half empty bottles, tampons, and travel-sized samples you've pilfered from hotels, of course. Let us hazard a guess that you've got a tangled pile of retired hair dryers and straightening irons plus that snazzy curling gadget you keep meaning to use.
Are we right? We know we are, because we've got that going on, too. And now we've got a way to make that electronics mess work for us—and someone else—in a major way.
It's the Trade Secrets/Glamour Secrets 10th annual "Give & Take" hair appliance trade-in event, and #BrazenLoves it. Now in its 10th year, this promotion has helped dozens of women's organizations and shelters across Canada, and with your participation, they can continue to do so.
Trust us: This is hands down the best opportunity to clean out stuff you don't use anymore while paying it forward and doing your part to help fellow women in need. It may seem like a simple action, but taking the time to donate your gently used hair appliance to a woman who is trying to make a fresh start will give you good vibes as the summer winds itself down.
WHAT IT IS: The "Give and Take" hair appliance trade in event calls on consumers to bring in their gently used hairstyling appliances to any Trade Secrets or Glamour Secrets location. The donated appliances will be given to women's shelters and charities across Canada. The organizations selected all offer support and shelter for women and children escaping violence. These are woman who really need a helping hand.
WHEN IT IS: The program runs from July 23 to September 23, 2016, so although you've still got time to help, don't delay. Women are waiting.
THE PERK: The fact is, what goes around comes around, and that's especially wonderful when it comes to kindness. Now, we don't need perks to give to other women. But as a special thank you, anyone who brings in their gently used hair appliances will receive 50% off selected hair tool purchases. Salon-professional brands that are included in the promotion include BaBylissPRO, Hot Tools and GS Professional. Win-win, right?
This is one opportunity you can't pass up. What else can we say, except bag that stuff up and start the car!

Planks from an old or salvaged fence can be re-purposed for many types of projects, including making furniture for use on a patio or deck. One piece of furniture that you can make from salvage fence planks is an Adirondack chair. This type of chair is low-slung with a seat that angles backwards towards the ground. You can build an Adirondack chair by first measuring and cutting the salvage fence planks to use for the construction.
Measure two sections of planking that are 24-inches long by 3-inches wide with the tape measure. Cut the planks to the required length with the circular saw. These will be the front legs of the chair.
Measure and cut two arm rests that measure 32-inches long by 4-inches wide. Measure and cut two seat supports that measure 35-inches long by 4-inches high. Measure and cut to leg supports that measure 22-inches high by 2-inches wide.
Measure and cut one crosspiece that measures 23-inches long by 4-inches high. Measure and cut the bottom back brace, which measures 27-inches long by 3-inches wide. Measure and cut a top back brace that measures 24-inches long by 3-inches wide.
Measure and cut six seat slats that measure 23-inches long by 5-inches wide. Measure and cut six back slats that measure 44-inches long by 4-inches wide. Cut two pieces of blocking that measure 2-inches wide by 4-inches long.
Round the ends of the seat supports with the jig saw and then cut a 45-degree angle on the other end with the circular saw.
Attach the crosspiece to the seat supports with the nail gun. Drive three nails into the crosspiece and into the seat supports.
Measure the front leg supports with the tape measure and make a mark at 6 inches with the pencil. Place the front legs on the crosspiece at the pencil marks and attach them with the nail gun. Drive six nails on each side into the crosspiece and seat supports. This will create the base of the chair.
Lay the seat slats onto the base of the chair and attach then with the nail gun. Place three nails on each end of the seat slat.
Cut a 45-degree angle into one edge of the top and bottom back brace with the table saw. Attach the bottom back brace to the leg supports and then attach the leg supports to the back of the seat supports.
Attach the two pieces of blocking to the top of the front legs. Place the arm rests on the bottom back support and the front legs. Attach the arm rest with the nail gun.
Insert the top back brace in-between the arm rests and attach it to the bottom back brace. Set the back slats into place on the back of the chair. Secure them to the top and bottom back brace to complete the project.
Fence planks are typically weather resistant, which is perfect for a chair that will be used outside on a deck or patio.
Screws can be used instead of nails to secure the fence planking together.

Ranking of Research Impact
Aurora Brief Reviews No. 08 May 31 2019
In April, Times Higher Education published the second – more extensive version of – its SDG-based "University Impact Rankings 2019", which received numerous of mixed reactions.
On the positive side, it is good news that a prominent ranking organisation like THE takes the SDGs so seriously. And it is gratifying to see that no less than 4 Aurora universities rank among the top 20% of the universities listed: Gothenburg (6th), Vrije Universiteit (sharing 16th place), Aberdeen (sharing 31st), and Bergen (53rd), and the University of Iceland also ranked in the list.
On a more critical note, we must acknowledge that only 450 universities are in this ranking. Self-reported data forms a strong fundament of the ranking. Putting more value on strategy documents (paper is patient) and diversity indicators within the university than on metrics that indicate the real impact of research on these Sustainable Development Goals (used in the Aurora SDG Bibliometrics). Also, the University Impact Rankings are to date still based on a small selection of the SDGs, with remaining problems in the underlying search queries and – perennial with most rankings – a lot of obscurity in why some factors are weighted more heavily than others.
But let us look at the part of the glass that is already full.

Find out how to take on the 2023 TCS London Marathon for charity
Charity info
Meet the participants hoping to write their names in the book of Guinness World Records
For the 15th consecutive year, Guinness World Records has collaborated with the TCS London Marathon to provide the most creative and inspirational fun runners at the 2022 event with world record verification on the Finish Line.
A team of Guinness World Records adjudicators will be on hand at both the Start and Finish Lines of the TCS London Marathon to check costumes, verify times and confirm successful runners as official GWR title holders, earning them a coveted place in the 2024 book out in September 2023.
In total, there are 28 official Guinness World Record attempts being made this year. Among those trying to write their name in the record books is Lexi Alyx Chambers, 44, an army veteran and former NHS nurse who had to have a leg amputated three years ago.
Lexi is attempting to enter the Guinness World Records book for the fastest marathon in a non-racing wheelchair while also raising funds for Blesma, The Limbless Veterans charity.
She said: "I am hoping to inspire others and show that even when the worst happens, like losing your leg, you can still achieve the impossible and accomplish your dreams."
University friends Tristan Clark, 27, Freddie Flanagan, 27, Freddie Wright, 27, John Lavelle, 26, George Peirson, 26, and Hugh Williams, 27, are attempting to break the record for the fastest marathon in a six-person costume.
The friends are no strangers to running together, having finished a combined five ultramarathons, three marathons, two Ironman triathlons and more than 30 half marathons.
They are fundraising for Brain Research UK, as Freddie's uncle died of a brain tumour in 2012. Freddie has been raising money for this charity ever since.

Martin Kozlov Captures 2017 Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open $5,250 …
Posted By: adminon: August 16, 2017 In: ForumsNo Comments
The Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open $5,250 Championship has a brand new champion and his name is Martin Kozlov. The player emerged as the victor after an action-packed and prolonged final table, during which he had his ups and downs. Kozlov eventually collected $754,083 and the tournament trophy as a reward for his hard work throughout the tournament.
The final day of the Championship kicked off with nine players left to be seated at the official final table. The remaining hopefuls were led by Aaron Mermelstein, who took the chip lead on Day 2 of the tournament and retained it all the way to final table. However, Day 4 was not that lucky for the player as he exited the tournament in sixth place.
All nine finalists but Joe Kuether were deep-stacked with an average stack of more than 70 big blinds. That together with the 90-minute levels promised for long and exciting battle. And expectations were met as the final table lasted more than 13 hours.
The first four levels of play saw one player being eliminated per level. Action then slowed even more and it took several more hours before the heads-up match was set. During that time, Kozlov eyed carefully opportunities to improve and delivered on his goal. The player dropped to being the short stack at one point but recovered quite quickly to eventually scoop the chip lead. From that point on, he never looked back, never let go of the chip advantage he had strived for so fiercely.
Kozlov entered heads-up against Dylan Drazen with a stack of 16,325,000 and with a good advantage over his final opponent. Drazen did not give up easily on the title and even managed to bring the chips close to even. Yet, he never managed to take a commanding advantage. The two players battled it out for good 38 hands before the name of the champion became clear.
Hand #246 was the final one to be played within the tournament. It saw Kozlov raise to 600,000 pre-flop and Drazen call. The [Kd][Qh][8h] appeared on the flop and Kozlov bet 400,000. Drazen called. The [4s] turn saw Kozlov bet 2.6 million and Drazen call. The [2h] ran out on the river. Kozlov challenged his opponent into an all-in confrontation, which Drazen accepted after giving it some thought.
Kozlov turned over [Kh][Kc] to hear Drazen announce the end of the tournament before showing his [Jh][8d]. Drazen's runner-up finish secured him with a payout of $528,322.
Happy with his accomplishment, Kozlov did not miss the opportunity to praise his opponent for putting up a good fight. The champion pointed out that the two-handed match was a struggle and that he was lucky to make the final set that secured his victory and the trophy.

Framing analysis of British newspaper representation of Saudi women from 2005- 2013
Bashatah, NS 2017, Framing analysis of British newspaper representation of Saudi women from 2005- 2013 , PhD thesis, University of Salford.
PDF (Resubmission of the thesis) - Submitted Version
By the beginning of the 1990s, Saudi Arabia began to be presented as economically important globally. On November 6, 1990, in a historic first, a group of Saudi women protested against the prohibition against women driving. Very few previous studies have examined Saudi Arabia's image in the British press concerning the treatment of Saudi women. However, in 2005, King Abdullah began supporting efforts by women to win their rights, and the Western media started following the social movement in Saudi Arabia.
The aim of this study is to trace the representation of Saudi women in the British newspaper and investigate how the British press represents coverage of stories relating to Saudi women, using a conceptual framework which draws on Entman's model of framing, and concepts from Edward Said's Orientalism (1978) and Rana Kabanni's Imperial Fictions: Europe's Myths of Orient (2008). Coverage from four British newspapers, The Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph, Guardian and Independent, during the period 2005-2013, was used to explore two case studies: the protests by Saudi women concerning the ban on female drivers and the representation of Saudi women at the London Olympics in 2012. A mixed method approach combining content analysis, and framing analysis was used to examine both written text and photographs with captions from the sample. More specifically, the thesis investigated how the prevalence of five news frames: conflict, human interest, morality, economy and attribution of responsibility coexist and support each other in the news media and what the differences are between newspapers in terms of frame choice.
Findings of the study indicate the following: (a) That the representation of Saudi women in British news media is negative compared with the depiction of Western women in the absence of understanding in the journalism realm concerning the cultural differences between societies; (b) the analysis of the two case studies revealed two dominating frames which are conflict and human interest; (c) The analysis of the photographs used in both case studies revealed that journalists often use photographs unrelated to the actual content of the news stories; (d) the representations of Saudi women in the newspaper sample reflect the same negative portrayal that is seen of the Muslim women elsewhere in the Western media which is rooted in the Western ideology of Orientalism. Links were also found between the cultural frames of Orientalism and journalistic culture in building a news agenda. Thus, this thesis presents finding concerning the important role played by the various frames used by British newspapers and the significant difference in how news is covered by selecting the source and analysing the frames.

Although I was making great progress on Irish Moss, not long after my last post I found two glaring mistakes. At about 30 rows back I forgot to cross stitches in two places. I guess that's what I get for bragging about being able to work on this sweater while riding the bus.
I briefly attempted to fix the mistakes by just ripping down a few stitches from the top to avoid having to rework all those rows, but it proved too difficult.
Knitting gives one the rare opportunity to fix mistakes, so I take it in stride. Unlike other things in life, I control my knitting projects with no definite deadlines to meet. If a mistake is obvious to me, I fix it.
Even though I'm committed to fixing my knitting mistakes no matter how daunting, I do my best not to make them in the first place. This one reminded me once again that I should frequently stop and admire my work often so that I can find mistakes as early as possible.
So, this week not much progress was made. Tonight I just reach the point at which I was before I found the errors.
The first class wasn't very exciting since it was a review of the beginning class. We hauled our wheels and equipment to class but didn't spin! The instructor spent the whole class reviewing topics that were discussed in the beginning class. I knew there would be some review but I thought that we would at least get to spin. At the end of class the instructor passed out several bags of various wools that we are to prepare for next week. Things should get more exciting next week. We'll be learning how to use a drum carder, combs and cards.

Germany Travel Guide Germany Trips Hitchhiking To Berlin
Hitchhiking to Berlin
By Aishwarya Suresh
En Route to Germany
These guys!
The toilet paper mummy
Berlin landmarks
The Holocaust Memorial
Pretzel in Berlin
Fellow Hitchhikers
At the Heart of Gold, Berlin
I'm too small to fit into the mold.
It was my first time hitchhiking, Niels' too! Who knew it'd go so well? GEWIS, the study association for Computer Science and Mathematics students was organizing a GELIFT weekend to Berlin. It invloved finding someone crazy enough to hitchhike to Berlin with you. Niels and I, being the morons we are, thought this was a pretty great idea, even though neither of us had ever been hitchhiking before. We just hoped we had enough people skills to get to Berlin before night time. This was a whooping (approximately) 600km to get through! After meeting with the twenty other people that decided to go on this journey with us, at IKEA, we all ate a slice of pie while the rules were being explained to us.
To begin, this was a competition. We had to convince people to give us a ride, all the way to Berlin from Eindhoven. The pair to reach there first won the competition. To add to the excitement, we were asked to take a selfie with certain things on our route, each earning us some points. Points were then associated with time and this time then taken away from the time taken to reach Berlin. So you didn't necessarily have to be the first ones to reach Berlin to win. A selfie at an IKEA won you points, as did a selfie with the number 33 on a number plate on the highway. A selfie with a car that has the characters 'ö' and '5' and a selfie with a redhead at a gas station won you more points. So with these tasks on our minds, pie in our bellies and enthusiasm in our hearts, we began our adventure.
That enthusiasm that I just mentioned? That died out when the first car that stopped for our friend Guido picked his team up but the cars driving past Niels and me had drivers that didn't spare us a glance. We had a piece of cardboard with BERLIN written with a black marker and another reading Germany. We also had the art of having our thumbs sticking out down to a science, all of which was to no avail. We walked and walked some more before somebody finally picked us up and offered to drive us to a gas station. According to this heaven-sent soul, that was where we needed to be to get a ride to Germany. After spending some more time sticking our thumbs out at a gas station, another nice man offered to drive us to an even bigger gas station. It seemed like a good plan and so we went.
It was at this spot that we caught our first lucky break. While we were skeptical about getting a ride at this spot(because there were already two other hitchhikers there, at the nice spot), we still had some cars slowing down to ask us where in Germany we wanted to be. One of these cars happened to be the property of two amazing German men. They were headed to Oberhausen, about a hundred kilometers away and offered to drive us there! We sat in their very comfortable car, eating jelly beans, listening to some great music, explaining our game to them. They were such good sports, they even took selfies with us! They dropped us off at a gas station at Oberhausen after making us promise we'd keep in touch.
After some well deserved lunch, we set out to find somebody to take us to Berlin (or atleast towards Berlin). Taking some really good hitchhiking tips from our German friends, we set out to talk to people around us instead of sticking out our thumbs. The first attempt at doing so went pretty poorly, as did the second and the third. Eventually, we found a woman who was willing to hear us out. When we explained what we were looking for, she told us in broken English that she didn't speak much English and that her husband might be able to help. He patiently listened to our spiel before telling us that he couldn't do much, but he offered to drive us to a station that was 20km away. It took us 20km closer to Berlin so ofcourse, we said yes. We sat in the back with their adorable one year old girl while we explained that it was our first time and that we got pretty lucky so far! While Niels and I played peekaboo with the kid, the two of them were having a discussion in German. A minute later, they turn to us and tell us that since it was a weekend and since they were free, they'd take us a 100km away instead of just 20. This was great news and we were very grateful! A good ten minutes later, the lady made a phone call, all in German so we were clueless what the call was about. It could be of no importance to us anyway. Atleast that was what we thought until they turned to us and told us that we were in luck. They had just booked themselves a room in Berlin for the night and were going to take us all the way to the hostel! IMPROMPTU WEEKEND TRIPS ARE THE BEST. We stopped by their place so they could pick up some clothes and their pug, Hugo(which seemed to be the only word the little girl could say).
About seven hours later, we arrived at Berlin, with our new friends dropping us off right in front of the hostel. It turns out that we were the first ones there (except for Bor and Rik who got there by train to welcome us). Even they had some trouble believing that we could get this lucky! Thankfully, we had a whole bunch of photos to show them.
The hostel was perfect for a bunch of college students staying in Berlin for a night. Clean showers and fresh sheets, a lobby riddled with references to "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy", a pool table, some good beer, great company and some hilarious hitchhiking stories(this one pair was unfortunate enough to drive with what seemed to be an alcoholic Polish truch driver that listened to Justin Beiber). We ate falafels that night from a take away place about five minutes from there. When all the pairs(the ones that didn't give up on hitchhiking to Berlin) finally made it to the hostel, we walked to the city to experience the night life that Berlin has to offer.
This one place that called the Matrix made my night. Four parts of the club had four different music styles, each playing really good music. It was here that we found out exactly why you should never underestimate the German police, even if it is four in the morning and it doesn't look like they are anywhere in sight. That bodyguard really had it coming though. Two hours of sleep at the hostel later, we explored Berlin until the evening. The train ride back home involved sleepy, exhausted and content passengers. GELIFT did a pretty great job with the weekend to Berlin!

* Introduced Diwali and Halloween theme to the game.
* Diwali is known as Festival of Lights. Diwali brings good fortune, wealth and prosperity to the life. Happy Diwali.
* Straddling the line between fall and winter, plenty and paucity, life and death, Halloween is a time of celebration and superstition. It is thought to have originated with the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, when people would light bonfires and wear costumes to ward off roaming ghosts. Happy Halloween.
This is a cool & an easy way to teach your child the entire set of alphabets with amusing graphics.
Your child can easily navigate through the five books with a few alphabets each or listen to the alphabets continuously. This can make learning less daunting for your little one.
The amusing graphics of the alphabets moving on a conveyor belt and then puffing away can bring a smile on anyone's face. This game teaches the child letter names and objects associated with them. A young child memorizes by repetition and he can do this by listening to the alphabets several times by tapping on the popping script.
Learning Alphabets will never be boring again!

Prompt: the call of sea, stars and sky
Ezra felt like he was drifting. He couldn't say if he was floating in the air or on the water, but he couldn't feel anything solid under his body. He liked the sensation, but he knew he couldn't stay in that place. There was something he needed to do.
He could hear voices calling to him. They seemed to come from all around him. At first, he couldn't make out what they were saying. Then, slowly, a single voice started to make sense to him. He could pick out words from them. He knew that voice. He focused on it.
"…know Ezra," the voice was saying. "He won't wake up until he's good and ready."
He forced his eyes open and blinked slowly. "Chris?" he said. His voice came out weak and muffled by a mask that covered most of his face. He scowled and tried to pull it away.
A man he didn't know caught his hands gently. "Leave that there," he said, his voice soothing. "Do you know where you are? Do you remember what happened?"
Ezra frowned and then his eyes widened as his memories came rushing back. "Hospital," he said. His voice was stronger now, but still muffled. "I was… attacked."
Chris looked up sharply. "Did you see who it was, Ezra?" he asked, looking into his eyes.
Shaking his head, Ezra said, "Came at me from the shadows, but… I heard him. He said I should have listened." His brows furrowed. "It was Lord Haffley."
AN: Heidi, do you recognize the doctor?

A Is for Anemone: A First West Coast Alphabet
Roy Henry Vickers
Robert Budd
With crisp, luminous illustrations by celebrated Indigenous artist Roy Henry Vickers, and a simple rhythmic text, this sturdy board book introduces the alphabet using iconic imagery of the West Coast, creating a book that will be cherished by young readers and their families.
Starting with colourful sea anemones waving in the ocean current, and closing with a snoozing grizzly bear (Zzz), this board book supports both early literacy and children's awareness of the natural world.
Publishers Weekly described Vickers' previous collaboration with Robert Budd as "a gorgeous glimpse of the distinctive landscapes and creatures of the Northwest, [that] will enchant residents and nonlocals alike."
Prize(s): Short-listed Bill Duthie Booksellers' Choice Award (2022), Winner Moonbeam Children's Book Award Gold Medal in the Alphabet/Counting category (2022)
"A Is for Anemone is a tactile knockout... [Vickers'] illustrations beautifully depict representations of the West Coast, but the art literally stands out—every page includes a softly embossed feature that often can't be seen until children run their fingers over the page. The texture is in the tentacles of jellyfish, the lines of pouring rain and a bird that is almost invisible to the eye... it's a touch sensation."
"A is for Anemone offers a memorable introduction to West Coast language, culture and biodiversity all of which need to be protected."

The drugs were packed in 650 sacks and hidden in two tanks, police said. The entire 11-person Montenegrin crew of the Panama-flagged ship was arrested on charges of international drug trafficking, police said.
The research and survey vessel Remus left the Canary Islands bound for Egypt and Turkey, but police surveillance showed it had turned off its position transmitter near the coast of North Africa, raising investigators' suspicions.
With the permission of Panamanian authorities, Italian police said they seized the vessel in international waters on July 31 and escorted it to the Sicilian port of Palermo. There, the fuel tanks were drained and the hash was discovered wrapped in sealed brown bags.
"The Mediterranean Sea again is confirmed to be one of the world's largest arteries for illegal trafficking," the police statement said, crediting "attentive intelligence gathering" for identifying and intercepting the hash-carrying ship.
The hashish -- which is compressed cannabis resin -- came from North Africa and probably was destined for the European market, police said.
Morocco is the world's largest producer of hashish, which is usually smuggled into Europe through Spain, according the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime.

The Joy of Idle Living
The Olympic Games are a quadrennial opportunity for thousands of elite athletes to come together not just in pursuit of sporting greatness, but in the name of humanity. At times, the latter has taken the form of iconic political symbolism, such as when American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos raised their black-gloved fists as the U.S. national anthem played on the podium at the 1968 Summer Games in Mexico to protest the mistreatment of African Americans and blue-collar workers. The Olympics are also a venue for broadcasting to the world aspects that define who we are: our global community, uncommon sporting events, genders, cultures and races represented amid white-hot competition on the biggest international stage. In today's Sunday Magazine, we profile several in our curated list of 18 emerging talents to watch for this summer, as the greatest show on earth, amid COVID-19-related protests, heads to Tokyo.
Andrew Mentock & Liam Jamieson, OZY Correspondents
repeating uncommon feats
1. Saurabh Chaudhary — Shooting (India)
ESPN calls him "the most consistent shooter in the world." Saurabh Chaudhary, who recently turned 19, has dominated the 10-meter air pistol competition since he won gold in the event at both the 2018 Asian Games and 2018 Youth Olympics. If for some reason he doesn't mount the podium for that event, he'll also compete in the mixed team shooting competition with countrywoman Manu Bhaker. The duo has won five gold medals in the mixed team 10-meter air pistol at ISSF World Cup events dating back to 2019.
2. Cheick Sallah Cissé — Men's Taekwondo (Ivory Coast)
With one second left on the clock, Ivorian athlete Cheick Sallah Cissé landed a kick worth three points to defeat Britain's Lutalo Muhammad 8-6 in the 2016 Olympics 80-kilogram taekwondo gold medal contest. Cissé leaped off the mat in unbridled celebration — and for good reason: Not only was it a monumental moment for him personally, it was also the Ivory Coast's first-ever Olympic gold. Prior to Rio, the West African nation's only two Olympic medals came first at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles (men's 400 meters), and the second just hours before Cissé's victory in 2016. Once again, Cissé, 27, has qualified for the Olympics, looking to double his country's gold medal count this year.
3. Jennifer and Jessica Gadirova — Women's Gymnastics (Great Britain)
Born in Ireland to an Azerbaijani family, Jennifer and Jessica Gadirova are 16-year-old identical twins representing Team GB this summer. Both competed at the 2021 European Championships, with Jessica winning silver in vault and the all-around bronze medal. Now the sisters comprise half of Britain's Olympic women's gymnastics team in Tokyo. Though rare, this isn't the first time twin gymnasts have competed at the Olympic Games. American identical twins Paul and Morgan Hamm competed in Sydney in 2000, taking silver in a team event in Athens in 2004, while Lieke and Sanne Wevers competed in Rio for the Netherlands, with Sanne winning gold on the balance beam.
4. Kirani James — Men's Track and Field (Grenada)
At the 2012 Games in London, James took gold with a time of 43.94 in the 400-meter event, becoming the first sprinter from outside the United States to break the 44-second mark. This also brought Grenada, a grouping of Caribbean islands of 112,000 people, its first-ever Olympic medal. Four years later, James won his country's second Olympic award after finishing second in the 400-meter final. He is expected to compete in Tokyo but has taken a significant amount of time away from sprinting since being diagnosed in 2017 with Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder. "The situation is under control right now," James said this spring. "I have to see doctors and stuff but training consistently is the challenge." At the ripe age — for a track star — of 28, can Grenada's most decorated Olympian bring one last medal back to the Island of Spice?
The 2021 Ford F-150
The newly designed F-150 is purpose-built to be the toughest, most efficient workhorse ever. This is what happens when you merge premium-grade muscle with finely tuned intelligence and design: a beast with brains. Its aluminum-alloy body carries the load with a torture-tested steel frame to help you work smarter and harder.
overcoming controversy
1. Anzhelika Sidorova — Women's Pole Vaulting (Authorized Neutral Athletes)
A state-run doping program involving dozens of Olympic athletes has left the Russian Athletics Federation in the midst of a four-year Summer and Winter Games ban. But what about Russian athletes who weren't part of the scandal? As of March 2020, 10 Russian track athletes will be allowed to compete, but sans their country's flag or anthem (should they take top spot on the podium). The athletes are instead registered as "authorized neutral athletes (all Russian)" and must meet stringent anti-doping criteria. One such athlete is pole vaulter Anzhelika Sidorova, who won gold at the 2019 World Championship, where she also competed as a neutral athlete. Did it matter to her that victory didn't belong to her home country? "All that is not too comfortable but I was so happy," she said after her 4.95-meter win.
2. Laurel Hubbard — Women's Weightlifting (New Zealand)
The 43-year-old weightlifter hasn't been named to New Zealand's team, but once teams are officially submitted, odds are Laurel Hubbard will become one of the first (if not the first) out transgender athlete to compete in the Olympics. Most recently, she won gold in the +87-kilogram event at the Roma 2020 World Cup — just a few years after an elbow injury nearly ended her career. Yet some of her fellow athletes have called Hubbard's potential inclusion "unfair" and a "bad joke." Until she turned 23, Hubbard competed as a man but never at the international level. She transitioned at 35 and meets the current International Olympic Committee requirements to compete in the Tokyo Games. "For a long time, it really wasn't fair because it was based on where you were in your transition, as opposed to where your hormone levels are, which is really what it should be," Charley Walters, an LGBT Olympic analyst, told OZY. Assuming Hubbard makes it to Tokyo, she'll have a strong chance to medal and make more history.
3. Noah Lyles — Men's Track and Field Sprinting (USA)
Imagine the euphoria of crossing the finish line having shattered one of Usain Bolt's most prestigious records — only to discover that your triumph was the result of a mistake and your record-breaking sprint meaningless. That's exactly what happened to Noah Lyles, 23, last summer at the Inspiration Games, when he ran a blazing 18.90 in the 200-meter dash, only to learn race officials started him in the wrong lane, and his sprint was just 185 meters. Still, Lyles is in a strong position heading to Tokyo to accomplish one of Bolt's most impressive feats: winning gold in the 100, 200 and 4x100 in the same Olympic Games.
favorites seeking first medals
1. Sarah Pavan and Melissa Humana-Paredes — Women's Beach Volleyball (Canada)
Failing to reach the podium in Rio in 2016, Sarah Pavan and Melissa Humana-Paredes have become the No. 1 beach volleyball team in the world and one of two favorites to win gold in Tokyo. The two world-renowned athletes appear strikingly mismatched: At 6-foot-6, Pavan towers over Humana-Paredes, who stands 5-foot-9. Their biggest rivals are American stalwarts Alix Klineman and April Ross. But the Canadians bested their neighbors at the 2019 Beach Volleyball World Championships, winning two games to zero in the finals. Odds are a match between these North American foes will decide the gold medal winner later this summer.
2. Tai Tzu Ying — Women's Badminton (Taipei, Taiwan)
This will be Tai Tzu Ying's third straight Olympic Games. In December 2016, she became the top-ranked women's singles player in the world by the Badminton World Federation. She held that title off and on for the 18 months that followed before holding fast to it for more than three solid years, setting the record for weeks ranked No. 1. She's also a fan favorite due to her aggressive and, at times, erratic playing style. Now the 27-year-old phenom will have a chance to show the world what she's got in Tokyo — where she and her compatriots, to placate Beijing, must still compete as "Chinese Taipei" and will not hear the Taiwanese anthem if they win gold.
3. Chen Yiwen — Women's Diving (China)
In recent Olympics, China has dominated men's and women's diving events. At the 2016 Games in Rio, the world's most populous country won seven of eight diving gold medals. This summer, it's a safe bet that at least a few Chinese divers will take home gold medals, with 22-year-old Chen Yiwen a near lock to appear on the podium in multiple events. At the 2021 FINA Diving World Cup in May, Chen won gold in the women's 3-meter springboard. The silver medal winner? American Sarah Bacon, who finished a whopping 34.80 points behind Chen.
4. Mario Mola — Men's Triathlon (Spain)
Spanish triathlete Mario Mola is also flexing a top spot in the world rankings. With a plethora of World Triathlon wins to his name in addition to an eighth-place finish at the Rio Olympics in 2016, the 31-year-old is showing no signs of slowing down, and a target will be on his back as the stacked field of triathletes, including Vincent Luis of France and Kristian Blummenfelt of Norway, battle it out on the Tokyo course.
5. Selemon Barega — Men's Distance Running (Ethiopia)
The Ethiopian prodigy shocked the track and field world in 2018 when, at just 18, he ran a record-setting time of 12:43.02 over 5,000 meters to win the Diamond League race in Brussels. Selemon Barega has since kept up the momentum, securing a runner-up finish in the same event at the 2019 World Athletics Championships. Currently ranked first in the world with weeks to go until his Olympic debut, the now 21-year-old is facing some fierce competition. With the likes of distance running stars including 5,000-meter world record holder Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda and fellow Ethiopian Muktar Edris, who edged Barega during the 2019 World Championship, a gold won't come easy.
competitors in new olympic sports
1. Tomoa Narasaki — Men's Sport Climbing (Japan)
As a child, Tomoa Narasaki dreamed of competing in the Olympics as a gymnast. As a 5-foot-7, 128-pound adult, he finds himself flying high in the world of competitive climbing. This summer, the 24-year-old is the favorite to win the debuting men's sport climbing event, which combines three climbing disciplines into one: lead climbing, bouldering and speed climbing. Narasaki is a decorated boulderer with a slew of gold and silver medals from recent World Cups. In preparation for the Olympics, he's also become a more than adequate speed climber, with a personal best 5.73-second ascent up the predetermined 15-meter route in March.
2. Hannah Roberts — Women's Freestyle BMX (USA)
As a dominant athlete in her sport, Hannah Roberts was seen as a budding breakout star in spring 2020 and one of the youngest Olympic gold medal favorites. Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic delayed her rise to the world stage, but that didn't stop the now 19-year-old freestyle rider from making the most of 2020. She bought her first home, adopted several dogs and got married. "For personal growth, it was probably my biggest year," Roberts told OZY. But with international competitions back on, she's back on her bike and already traveling the world. As the No. 1 women's freestyle BMX rider in the world, Roberts is the undisputed favorite to grab gold in Tokyo.
3. Dušan Domocivć-Bulut — 3X3 Basketball (Serbia)
Known on the court as "Mr. BullutProof," Dušan Domocivć-Bulut is the world No. 1 men's 3x3 basketball player. He's helped lead Serbia to multiple 3x3 World Cup titles and earned several International Basketball Federation MVP awards along the way. With Serbia's spot at the Olympics locked up since 2019, Bulut attended the Olympic Qualifying Tournament this May and mentored a rising Qatar team, which ultimately fell short of qualifying for Tokyo. In 2019, he was slated to compete in the BIG3, a 3x3 basketball league owned by Ice Cube that consists of former NBA players such as Joe Johnson, Rashard Lewis and the now-retired Allen Iverson, but withdrew due to concerns he would not be allowed to compete in Tokyo. Now, finally on the world stage in Japan, will Bulut shine while leading Serbia, the presumptive favorite, to a gold medal?
4. Sky Brown — Skateboarding Park (Great Britain)
Had the 2020 Olympic Games not been postponed, Sky Brown might have missed them altogether. In June 2020, she suffered a horrific crash that involved a 15-foot fall off the side of a vert ramp, leaving the 11-year-old with a fractured skull and broken arm. Now healthy, British national Brown won't be an "emerging" athlete for much longer. She's already sponsored by Nike, appearing in ads with past Olympic gold medal winners Simone Biles and Serena Williams. At age 12, she's surprisingly not the youngest Olympian ever, but last year she became the first female competitor to land a frontside 540, and she has already placed at major international skateboarding competitions, including taking bronze at the 2019 World Skateboarding Championship in Brazil.

Each year literally hundreds of students learn to swim in our swimming pool. We need community help to save it from permanent closure.
Built in 1925, the swimming pool at Whangarei Primary school has served successive generations of our community for the past 93 years. During this time, literally thousands of young people have learned how to swim in it. The pool forms an integral part of our health and physical education programme. Being a coastal city, we believe it is essential that all students learn water safety skills. All students receive swimming lessons at least twice a week during the summer months, and are encouraged to use this facility each lunchtime as a further opportunity to develop their water confidence and skills.
The pool was originally built as the public baths for the fledgling Whangarei city community. At some point in the 1970s or 1980s ownership of the pool was passed over to Whangarei Primary School. The school has been responsible for meeting the ongoing upkeep and maintenance of the pool since then.
A new pump and filter system was installed in the pool facility in 1965. This system has served the community well, however after more than 50 years of operation, and despite a regular programme of maintenance, it has finally reached a point where it has suffered a critical breakdown; rendering it beyond repair. It is going to cost $278,000 to effect the required repairs and upgrade.
Unfortunately over the past decade many schools in New Zealand have been forced to close their swimming pools due to funding issues. Our school school Board of Trustees are determined to not let this happen to our school pool. But to do this we desperately need your help. Any support that you can provide, is gratefully accepted.
The funds will be utilised to install a new pump and filter system, installing a new skimmer system, and replacing all of pipes that service the pool. They will also be used to upgrade the changing room, pump room, and sheltered seating area.

Smart, contemporary accommodation including private hot tub, WiFi, Alexa, Wii, small pool table, as well as three bedrooms and three bathrooms!
Breconview Lodge is a superb newly built detached lodge cottage in the village of Coelbren, on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, just half a mile from the local pub and a mile from the famous Henrhyd Falls of film and TV fame (The Dark Knight Rises, Batman's Bat Cave and soon to be featured in Game of Thrones). Excellent local walking, other waterfalls and a host of attractions nearby.
This is obviously an excellent location for walkers, with miles of the Brecon Beacons footpaths and waterfalls to explore, virtually from the door, but also ideal for those seeking a relaxing, pampering break! Take a trip to the bright lights of the city, with Swansea just 20 miles away, and the long, sandy beach at Port Talbot is less than 25 miles.
Thank you very much for an absolutely fantastic place to stay to celebrate a 50th Birthday. The lodge is just perfect with every single detail considered and delivered. The owners have been brilliant and have gone over and above to ensure our stay was a perfect one.
Thank you for a wonderful place to stay! There was everything we could have wanted and more. The pool table and hot tub have been a real hit as has the dog bed and treats. We have had some amazing walks, we had a great sense of achievement reaching the top of Pen Y Fan. The Ancient Briton Inn offers a very warm welcome and excellent meals, can highly recommend.
Thank you for allowing us to stay, really enjoyed our stay had no problems here and will 100% recommend this lodge to family and friends.
Gorgeous holiday home, furnished to a very high standard.
A massive thank you Mick & Ceri for warm and cosy family break! we had such a great time here, this place is absolutely beautiful and peaceful just what we needed to escape busy London. Thank you for being so thoughtful and providing us with every single thing you can possibly need for comfortable and chill stay. This place truly deserves its 5 star rating as do you for all hard work and love that you put in this gorgeous home. Thank u for all delicious treats for us and happy doggie Leo. Planning to see you during summer.
Thank you for a lovely stay,. The Lodge is absolutely beautiful and you have done an amazing job with all of the extra touches and detail - everything we needed was in one place. The boys spent most of the time on the pool table and we had a lovely evening enjoying the hot tub!! Location is absolutely stunning and we have been spoilt by 2 amazing meals in local pubs (Ancient Briton + Pen Y Cae Inn) Will definitely be recommending to friends and families.
Thank you Mick & Ceri for letting us stay at Breconview Lodge! The place is amazing it has everything you could possibly need and more! It's the perfect getaway, and all of us have thoroughly enjoyed celebrating a birthday weekend here! Would highly recommend visiting Dan Yr Ogof Caves for a daytime trip, and for a restaurant Pen-Y-Cae Inn!! All the little touches Mick & Ceri had put in place were very much appreciated by us (and the dogs!) - Thank you! We will definitely be recommending to friends & family, and will almost certainly be visiting again!!
We had the most fabulous stay at Breconview lodge - the quality of the property was absolutely outstanding, the owners were very helpful when contacted and made us feel so welcome on our stay with some lovely little extra touches and gifts that were really appreciated. The lodge is in the perfect location for doing as much or as little exploring of the beautiful Welsh countryside as you want to, and the facilities made for the perfect way to relax and unwind. We cannot recommend the property enough.
A truly excellent property, ideal for us as a family group of four individual adults. Spacious, with excellent facilities, very well equipped, with lots of extras, lovely finishing touches and welcome baskets for us and for the dog!
