Manchester City's real magic ingredient? An absence of stupidity
by apnetv123 January 15, 2022
Sport will in general move towards flawlessness: cleaner lines, starker numbers, more noteworthy assurances. It is an interaction that football, with its profound factors, its notes of disorder and motivation, has been shockingly great at opposing, At least, it has as of recently.
At the point when the players of Manchester City and Chelsea leave at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening there will be the standard feeling of occasion allure: the whooshing TV illustrations, the telecaster desperation, the sensation of something planetary scale in train.With valid justification. For the Premier League 2021-22 this is one of the central issues in the series circular segment. First plays second, title victors against European heroes, a gathering of two of the three most important crews in world football. This is the item here, the attempt to sell something, the core of the worldwide eyeball-matchless quality.
Zoom out, however, and one thing is absent: any genuine feeling of wearing danger. Presumably the actual activity will be especially high-grade. The advanced channels will drone with game-day ephemera. Be that as it may, as scorching Super Saturdays go, this is some cool item.
It is a confounding point to make, to some degree on account of the extraordinary degree of ability on show. And furthermore as a result of the fundamental tangible delight of watching this hero City group in real life, its dumbfounding examples, its structural magnificence, its straightforward brandishing excellencies, the cooperation, the magnanimous energy, the manner in which players are instructed and improved. In September City went to Stamford Bridge and appeared to be strolling through an alternate sort of gravity, a very good quality strangulation suggestive of Pep Guardiola's best-of-the-century Barcelona group of 2009-11.Five months on those delicate any desires for a genuine Premier League title race have been speared by the current run of 11 successes and 33 objectives scored through fall into winter. City were at that point 10 focuses clear toward the beginning of January, season diced and managed, facilitating towards a fourth title in five years. Also it is maybe an ideal opportunity to say it. We have seen mastery previously. However, this is a novel, new thing.
It isn't just with regards to the numbers. In any case, the numbers are surprising. The present moment City are on course to hit 96 places. In 2017-18 they piled up a century, trailed by 98 the season later. Before 2018 no other group throughout the entire existence of English top-level football, in any event, taking into account 42 matches a season, had at any point paired those aggregates. Last season was a Covid-confused trade off however City actually wound up 12 focuses clear of second spot.

Paris-Brest-Paris 2015: The French
Having raced track bikes at my local velodrome and dabbled in the cyclocross circuit for several years in the Bay Area, I've had some experience with folks cheering for me while I speed along in circles. But your friends shouting your name (or good-naturedly heckling you) at an amateur race is one thing; it's an entirely different experience when you're riding Paris-Brest-Paris.
I expected a big turnout at the start on Sunday afternoon — especially since the fast sub-80 hour group gunning to "win" or induct themselves into La Société Charly Miller — draws the TV cameras and crowds. But even after the elite riders had left, the announcer's booming voice also counted down the departure for each wave of the 90-hour group. I was lined up with the "G's" at 5:30pm, the second group slotted to leave.
"Dix…neuf…huit…sept…six…cinq…quatre…trois…deux…un!"
The spectators erupted in applause and whistles, and we rolled out underneath a giant inflatable arch, similar to the ones often used to mark the starts and finishes for stages in pro races.
As we set out for Brest and back, two phrases were repeated over and over by the fans that lined the road throughout the three-and-a-half days of our journey: "Bonne route!" and "Bon courage!" It didn't matter if it was 1 o'clock in the afternoon or 1 o'clock in the morning; there was always someone clapping and offering us encouragement. Sometimes there were large groups of local residents enthusiastically hailing our arrival, other times it was just a lone voice calling down from an upper story window of a stone cottage. I'd often be surprised at night by a, "Bon courage!" that mysteriously emerged from quiet pockets of forested roads or dimly lit alleyways in the small rural towns. The words continuously echoed around me from wherever we were, urging us forward in our quest to ride 1230 kilometers within the time limit.
The power of these two simple phrases was remarkable. Whenever I began to feel crushed by the inexorable weight of exhaustion, an adorable child would pipe up to prop up my sagging spirit: "Bon courage, madame!" Then he or she would reach out their hand, angling for a high five, and squeal with delight if we made contact. In the beginning of the ride, I'd respond by saying, "Bonjour!" or "Bonsoir!" or "Merci!" But as my tired voice gave way, I relied on my bell to give thanks — ding, ding! — which always brought a roar of approval from the fans.
On my second night on the road, just beyond the outskirts of a charming village called Saint-Martin-des-Prés, a young boy wished me "Bonne route!" from the darkness of the desolate road. I pulled over to the yard across the street; I needed to put on more layers in order to ward off the chill from the night air. He walked over to chat with me and it turned out he was a precocious lad from England vacationing with his family in France from the summer.
"Can I ask you a question? Is it annoying, or frustrating for you, to already see riders returning from Brest while you're still heading out there?"
I silently said to myself in my head, "Geez, kid. Don't remind me." But I graciously replied, "I try not to think about that. Besides, in a few hours, I'll be the one passing riders on the way back." I bid him adieu, but not before gifting him with a SF Randonneurs pin. (Later on, my riding partners and I paid forward the favors that the French had bestowed to us. We shouted, "Bon courage!" at the packs of cyclists who were still heading west.)
There were also dozens of handpainted signs that dotted the countryside. A few referred to the Tour de France — as several stages had gone through the same towns — but many were personal messages directed towards local riders. And others were addressed to all PBP participants, some taking the forms of brightly colored sculptures (and dangling off of telephone poles or the sides of buildings), flags and banners.
French drivers were unfailingly courteous — I think I only encountered one impatient driver the entire time — and while they hurtled past us at an alarming speed, they always waited for the safest opportunity to do so. Now, having experienced American road rage on an all-too-frequent basis, I was grateful that there was no honking, and no bottles or epithets were hurled my way at any point during PBP.
One of the highlights of the ride was my inbound arrival at the Villaines control. I never knew that the possibility existed to feel like a randonneur rock star, but here it was — our shining moment of glory. Hundreds of people crowded the the barricades or were perched above the straightaway, cheering us like we were Eddie Merckx or Marianne Vos on the road to victory. As I paused to park my bike, a Frenchman said to me (in perfect English), "We're honored that you chose to come all the way to France for this," (He surmised from my jersey that I was from San Francisco.)
"The honor is all mine," I said, "It's really a privilege to be here."
"We love cycling," he said with a smile. "It's our second favorite sport!" (Somehow I found this incredibly funny.) "Just behind soccer, of course."
It's easy to forget, when you're inside the randonneur bubble, that riding these distances isn't exactly…commonplace. It's an odd sport that borders on lunacy at times, and when you view your pastime from an outsider's perspective — you think to yourself, "Yes, this is kind of insane." But the French understand and not only do they believe you're not crazy, but they treat you like a hero at a homecoming parade. And you see their unflagging dedication around the clock, as you encounter a staggering number of helpful volunteers throughout the ride who have sacrificed their time to support this event. Cycling is so rooted in their history and their souls, and experiencing this firsthand was the most foreign concept I encountered whilst abroad. It was so uplifting to ride my bicycle in a country that was filled with citizens that were equally passionate as we were about cycling. That's when you realize just how extraordinary it is to partake in the merry madness that is Paris-Brest-Paris.

#NSale Fall Outfit Close-up & Giveaway!
Hope you all had a great weekend! Ours was super busy!! Luke was away doing his Army thing and I went to Raleigh for my best friend's gender reveal party. It was so fun and I am so excited for her and her hubby.
I am also partnering with some other fab bloggers to GIVEAWAY a Macbook Air and Kate Spade tote. You can enter to win at the bottom of this post!
This top, you guys…I am in love! It is a great transitional piece as we're going into fall because it is somewhat thin, so it's not too hot. The little criss cross detail in the front adds a cute detail. It also comes in black and navy and is currently in stock in all colors! This top runs true to size. I'm wearing a medium.
It was love at first sight with this bag. It is so stunning in person! The suede will be perfect for fall. It is roomy on the inside and I love the gold hardware. This bag also comes in solid black and leopard (almost got the leopard print!) This price is a little bit of an investment, BUT I feel like it is a great fall staple that will go with everything. The quality of this bag actually feels like a way higher priced bag to me!
These genuine calf hair flats are super stylish and comfortable. The lace up detail is on trend right now. This is actually my first pair of lace-up flats. I don't know why I've held out for this long! We all know that leopard print is basically a neutral, so you can wear it with anything. I love wearing animal print accessories, especially in the fall. I'm wearing my normal size, an 8.5 and I would say they run true to size. When I tried them on in the store they were a little snug, due to the pointy toe and I must have had them laced tighter. When I actually wore them around the next day, they were super comfortable and a perfect fit. A few sizes are already sold out, so hurry and purchase these asap!! This flat also comes in 6 other colors here.
I've teamed up with several other bloggers to give away a Kate Spade tote and Macbook Air! The more times you enter, the more chances you have of winning. The giveaway starts today and runs through August 1, 12 midnight CST. Good luck!
This color top is amazing on you! And LOVE those flats!
This color looks great on you! I also ordered the leopard flats, can't wait til they come in!
Very comfy and stylish look! Love your top!
Such a cute fall inspo look!


Lyndon Engineering are going through some workshop changes to better utilise our internal & external space for larger truck deck and structural steel jobs, along with improving workflow for our agricultural products. The team from Southern Cranes were on hand to help out with moving some our larger equipment. A nice job done very safely by Southern Cranes, great job to all those involved!
How do I promote pasture growth for a dairy farm as cheaply as possible, and how do I minimise dairy farm costs in other ways?


kneel and kiss the ground.
Those who intend on becoming great should love only what is just, whether it happens to be done by themselves or others.
raise your eyes to the sky.
Become a language of love.
Love is like a precious plant. You can't just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to really look after it and nurture is.
and not yourself in the art.

Lions Park station is a CTrain light rail system in Hounsfield Heights and Briar Hill, Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Opened on September 7, 1987 as part of the original Northwest Line (Route 201). It is located on the exclusive LRT right of way on the south side of 14 Avenue NW, just east of 19 Street NW.  Two side-loading platforms with ramp access from grade level as well as pedestrian crossings are located at both ends of the station.

As part of Calgary Transit's plan to operate four-car trains by the end of 2014, all three-car platforms were to be extended. Lions Park Station had the platform extended to the East which also include an additional level crossing of the tracks, as well the pedestrian crossing of 14 Avenue NW was moved along with the platform. Construction started in Fall 2013 and finished in six months. This platform extension required no closures and didn't affect wheelchair ramp access.

In 2008, the station registered an average of 5,800 weekday boardings.

Sincere means free from pretense or deceit; proceeding from genuine feelings. Being sincere is for a person to say what they genuinely feel or believe; not dishonest or hypocritical. Just like we want sincere people in our life, God wants the same. (Matthew 6:5- "And now about prayer. When you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who pretend piety by praying publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. Truly, that is all the reward they will ever get.) When we seek God He will reward us, but when we seek to be seen by people, their approval (their praise) is the only reward we'll get. God doesn't want us to be hypocrites, He wants people who are sincerely seeking Him.
Following a bunch of rules doesn't determine if we have a relationship with God. For example, going to church and paying tithes is great, but if our heart isn't in the right place God isn't pleased. When our heart is free from sin then He's able to delight in the things we do for Him.
Even though Saul was going to use the sheep and oxen to sacrifice to the Lord, it wasn't what God wanted because he was disobedient. Our obedience to God is better than sacrifice. Our love for Him results in our obedience and everything else flows so that we can live a life that's pleasing to Him.
Why is it important not to follow the world's example?
People of the world are lost, when you follow their example you'll be lost as well. Reminds me of the saying "the blind leading the blind" it's a metaphor used to describe a situation where a person who knows nothing is getting advice and help from another person who knows almost nothing. When Jesus was talking to the crowds and disciples he told them not to follow the example of the Jewish leaders and Pharisees because they were "blind" hypocrites that lived ungodly lives.
Simon sought God's power and his heart wasn't in the right place. He wanted glory for himself, but Peter and John were doing it for the glory of the Lord. We need to always check our motives because that's what God looks at. He looks at our hearts and checks our intentions.
Tonight's Bible study reminds me of (Matthew 7:21- "Not all who sound religious are really godly people. They may refer to me as 'Lord,' but still won't get to heaven. For the decisive question is whether they obey my Father in heaven.) The Jewish leaders and Pharisees sounded religious, but they didn't obey God and sought to bring glory to themselves. Jesus was sincere, obeyed God and sought to bring glory to Him. They all called God Lord, but only one of them was sincere: Jesus. Be like Him.

NHS Digital "is not going anywhere" despite the creation of NHSX, promised Matt Hancock's chief technology advisor, Hadley Beeman this week.
Speaking at the Digital Health Rewired conference, Beeman outlined the vision for NHSX, the new unit for digital data and technology announced by the health and social care secretary last month.
Beeman told delegates at London's Olympia that NHSX intended to bring together "tech leadership into one decision-making point".
This, she said, would "bring the culture, the openness, the productivity and the constant innovation of the internet to the way we deliver tech in health and care".
An audience member asked Beeman about the future of NHS Digital, the national body previously tasked with helping digitise health and social care in the UK.
In response, Beeman said that NHS Digital "added a large amount of skills, technical capability and value to the NHS".
She added that it would "become clear" in time how the organisations would work together "as we collectively work out what the strategy should be".
Another audience member raised concerns about how NHSX plans would marry up with workforce planning.
"Is the end goal for everything to be automated by AI or is there a parallel work to be done to get the right skill set for the technology?" the delegate asked.
Beeman, who was appointed in August last year, replied there was "a long, long way to go" before clinicians could be replaced with AI.
"We have a lot of clinicians who are spending a lot of time writing up notes, looking for information about their patients, doing a lot of admin that's not a good use of their time and skills," she said.
NHSX would help free clinicians from "work that they don't want to be doing that isn't adding value and isn't making the most of what they can offer to the health service and to patients," Beeman added.
Earlier that day at the conference, keynote speaker Dr Ben Goldacre called for a culture of openness and sharing in healthcare data analytics.


Urology of Virginia and Chesapeake Regional Medical Center are in the process of enhancing services for women by creating a comprehensive women's pelvic health program. The goal is to create a Pelvic Health Center of Excellence. This national designation is awarded by the National Association for Continence. To receive accreditation, centers must show evidence of clinical excellence and experience, contemporary technology and a comprehensive program that includes patient education and support, among other benchmarks. Dr. Jennifer Miles-Thomas will lead this charge. She began practicing with Urology of Virginia in March of 2013, and is a board-certified urologist and is also board certified in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. In addition to partnering with the Chesapeake Regional Medical Center OB/GYNs, she will also team up with Dr. Beth Jaklic, a colon and rectal surgeon who practices with Chesapeake Surgical Specialists.

The Immunization Cases Overview
Topic: Medicine Words: 828 Pages: 3 Aug 2, 2022
Last decades people started to vaccinate themselves against different diseases. Some diseases are seldom in the United States because of immunization. It brings calmness and confidence to the people and makes frequent early illnesses as rare as possible. Humanity is interested in what vaccines do and starts to search through the internet to find answers. By reading non-credible information, people start to think in the wrong way about vaccines, refuse vaccinations and even agitate not to use them. There is a project called Vaccine Safety Net, which the World Health Organization has provided. According to the WHO website, "The mission of the Vaccine Safety Net is to help internet users to find reliable vaccine safety information tailored to their needs" (WHO, 2020). In order to understand at what age to do vaccination, nurses need to analyze the data collected from the person who will be vaccinated. If this is a newborn, then from him and his mother. Some cases need to be considered in order to understand all the intricacies of vaccination of people.
Our Experts can deliver a custom The Immunization Cases Overview paper for only $13.00 $11.05/page
The first case shows that the newborn is born at 3.5 kg, the infant's exam is regular, but maternal labs are negative. The questions are what vaccinations are required for the child and what to do if the mother's hepatitis B status is positive or unknown. According to the WHO website, hepatitis B is a life-threatening infection caused by the hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis B can lead to chronic liver disease and pose a high risk of death from cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer (WHO, 2020). The only vaccine that is required immediately after birth is the hepatitis B vaccine. If the mother is infected with hepatitis B, the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin should be given to individual limbs within 12 hours of birth, regardless of birth weight (CDC, 2021). If the status is unknown, it is required to vaccinate and determine the status within seven days to enter hepatitis B immunoglobin.
The second case shows the parents who have a two-month-old child as patients in the primary care clinic. Her exam is normal, and there are no contraindications to giving her vaccines. The questions are which vaccines should the child receive at the visit, when she should return from the next visit, and which vaccination combinations can minimize the number of needle injections. First of all, she should receive the second dose of hepatitis B; then, the vaccine combination called Pentacel should be the best variant to avoid many needle injections. According to the CDC website, the pentacle is one of the most common combinations that consists of DTaP, IPV, and Hib vaccines required for two-month-old children (CDC, 2019). However, she also needs to receive rotavirus and pneumococcal conjugate vaccines. The next time she will visit a clinic at four-month-old age and receive the same vaccines list.
The third case is about a five-year-old child whose vaccines are up to date through 2 years old. She came with her mother in November, but she has never received a vaccine for influenza. Her condition of health is normal, and the vaccines do not contraindicate her. The questions are, which vaccines should be recommended, what anticipatory guidance should be given for a child receiving a flu vaccine at such age, and about contraindications for these vaccines. To begin with, she should receive a combination called Kinrix, which consists of DTaP and IPV vaccines. Also, she needs to vaccinate for influenza twice till February. Vaccinations must be spaced at least four weeks apart, so she needs to vaccinate in November and the early beginning of January to provide health protection. People should be vaccinated from influenza annually by the end of October to be ready for influenza season.
The fourth case shows the situation when the 11-years-old girl presents a routine well-child check. Her immunizations are up to date. Her exam is normal, and there are no contraindications to giving her vaccines. The vaccine should be recommended; her mother wants her daughter to have only one vaccination for school and no others. The Tdap vaccination should be the best variant of all available at 11 years old because, after this age, such diseases can risk a person's life more than meningococcal and human papillomavirus diseases.
To sum up, vaccination and immunization are two serious parts of people's medical life. Humanity needs to fully accept vaccination not only in the US but across the whole world. Doubts caused by inferior internet articles should be cleared with the help of the Vaccine Safety Net project from the World Health Organization. WHO cannot cope on its own; everyone should read a little more about vaccination to understand the full benefits of this procedure. Vaccines exist not to infect a person, but to cure, which is worth understanding. Otherwise, people will be afraid to be vaccinated further, and the elimination of serious diseases will stop.

Perfectly boho in every single way, this stunning wedding dress from designer Stella York would be the perfect addition to any wedding! A lace and tulle A-line silhouette comes to life with the addition of subtle beading and lattice details. Modern beaded micro straps meet at the adorned V-neckline and cross in the back creating a star-shaped pattern. Rich, Rococo-inspired lace is modified with beaded lattice work on top of the sheer bodice. The same lace motifs of the bodice float down the tulle skirt, which creates a pattern of movement and a feeling of romance. The boho theme continues into the soft skirt with its short train. The back of this dress zips under buttons.


The problem is, I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the reference to VTS_01_0 (which is the .vob file that brings up the menu when you play the DVD), and for some reason, the movie appears to jump around. All I want to do is to somehow have my ifo file let the dvd player know to start with file VTS_01_1 and end with VTS_01_4, and play from beginning to end...no menu -- Unless there is a way to update the points in the movie that the menu would reference, as they changed due to my chopping.
If you have a directory containing nothing but the VOBs you want to play (VTS_01_1 to VTS_01_4), then start IfoEdit 0.95 and look at the middle bottom, you will see a button to create IFO files. Press that, and point it at your first VOB VTS_01_1.VOB. It should create the IFO files you need to play your movie.

UFC Fighter Angela Magana Defends UFC Fighter Pay
News, Promotions, Spotlight, UFC
Angela Magana, who entered the UFC as part of The Ultimate Fighter Season 20: A Champion Will Be Crowned and who has gone 0-2 thus far in her octagon career, took to social media over the weekend to defend the UFC's often criticized pay scale. Magana, who was injured this past fall following a twister submission she refused to tap out from (presumably in training as she had no fight at the time), was last seen losing to former Invicta FC champ Michelle Waterson in July 2015.
In a video posted to YouTube and linked via her Twitter (a rather racy Twitter, so assume there's some NSFW content should you venture onto it), Magana critiques the often used comparison between MMA pay, and that in boxing. You can view the video in full below:
While it doesn't eliminate the debate around fighter pay (far from it), it's interesting to see a fighter, specifically one lower down the food chain, stand up for the promotion in this regard. Magana also let out an interesting little tidbit: after passing a drug test, fighters — at least in her case — are written a check for additional money. Three thousand is the number Magana states, adding "I think winners get five."
As to the boxing comparison, she points out that base pay in the UFC is $10,000 to show, and another $10,000 to win. Whereas in boxing, undercard fighters may just make a few grand. Top boxers, she states, also foot the money for many productions, from security to tickets to everything in between.
With the newly confirmed sale of the UFC being the talk of the sporting world, fighter pay will no doubt continue to be a hotly debated issue. It seems like the perfect time for more and more fighters to let their thoughts be known, be they positive or negative. If you don't speak up, after all, you don't have a voice.

There's A Creepy Grave In This Utah Cemetery And Its Legend Is Beyond Eerie
Utah is home to dozens of ghost stories, from the Purple Lady at the Denver & Rio Grande Western Depot to the ghost soldiers at Fort Douglas, and many, many more. It seems that people just can't get enough spine-chilling tales of paranormal sightings.
There's a grave at the Salt Lake City Cemetery that's long been the stuff of eerie legend, though the story has changed over the years. Have you ever visited Emo's Grave?
The B'nai Israel section of the Salt Lake City Cemetery is as beautiful and peaceful as every other part of the cemetery, with large trees and interesting headstones.
Catherine Armstrong
A stroll through this section reveals recent burials as well as gravesites dating all the way back to the 1880s.
You'll find many graves that have small pebbles sitting atop the markers. This is an ancient Jewish tradition that's now spread to even non-Jewish mourners.
The exact origins of the custom aren't known, but placing a stone on the headstone of a loved one is said to perhaps ward away evil spirits, or may be simply a way to count the number of visitors to a grave - one stone for each.
There's one gravesite in this part of the cemetery that doesn't have any small stones - and throughout the years the legend of an evil presence has been perpetuated by teenagers and ghost hunters alike.
For decades, visitors who never knew the man have sought out the burial place of Jacob Moritz - a.k.a. Emo's Grave.
No one is quite sure how this grave got its name. It was originally a small crypt that held the cremated remains of Jacob Moritz - a local businessman who ran a successful brewery in Salt Lake City in the early 20th century.
Moritz was a well-loved local politician who also gave freely to charitable organizations and was respected by both the Jewish community and local Mormon leaders. Just six months after setting out on a European trip with his wife in 1909, Mortiz died of stomach cancer. His wife had his ashes interred at this site.
For decades, local lore said that if you lit a candle, walked around the grave three times chanting, "Emo, Emo, Emo," then peered into the window in the crypt, you would see Emo's glowing red eyes staring back at you.
The large, metal door of the crypt once had a window in it. Visitors could see the vandalized remains of an urn inside, though Mr. Moritz's ashes were removed from this burial site years ago. Today, a piece of rusted sheet metal covers the opening where the window once was.
High school students and ghost hunters seem to have adjusted the legend to fit the current conditions of the gravesite. The new legend is that if you walk three times around the crypt and chant, 'Emo, Emo, Emo,' you'll see a ghost with glowing red eyes appear near the gravesite.
Whether you believe this creepy legend or not, you'll find the original gravesite of Jacob Mortiz in the Salt Lake City Cemetery in the Avenues. The grave is located just north of Fourth Avenue and 990 E.
If you stop by, maybe place a pebble there.
What do you think about this urban legend? Do you have memories of visiting this grave as a teenager?

Spider-Man Heat Vision Breakdown
'Suicide Squad': Jared Leto Teases Joker Scenes That Were Cut From the Movie
August 04, 2016 12:35pm by Eli Flesch
Writer-director David Ayer also says the theatrical release of the film is his cut: "There's no sort of parallel-universe version of the movie."
The Joker makes his first big-screen appearance since 2008 in the upcoming Suicide Squad, but not all of the clown prince of crime made the final cut.
Writer-director David Ayer and actor Jared Leto opened up about footage that didn't make the film, including more scenes with Leto's Joker. Ayer said in an interview with Collider that over 10 minutes of material didn't make the final cut, and that this was his own decision.

"Just because something's cool and charismatic doesn't mean it gets to survive in the final cut," the filmmaker said while discussing the challenges of producing a feature. "The flow of the movie is the highest master."
Leto strongly hinted to Telestar that Joker, who received less screen time than some expected, suffered the brunt of these cuts. He also expressed hope that these scenes might "see the light of day" one day.
These comments come amid news that Suicide Squad faced a troubled production, including a hasty screenwriting process, multiple editors and also saw Ayer and Warner Bros. clash over tone. Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that Warners enlisted Trailer Park, the company that had made the teaser for the film, to work on an alternate cut. But in comments to Collider, Ayers said the version that will be seen in theaters is his cut of the film.
"There's no sort of parallel-universe version of the movie — the released movie is my cut," he said.
The end result (which THR's Todd McCarthy calls "a puzzlingly confused undertaking") has been largely panned by critics, with the film holding a 28 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
Last summer, Fantastic Four director Josh Trank famously blamed studio Fox for poor reviews for the film, tweeting (and later deleting), "a year ago I had a fantastic version of this" that would have received great reviews.
Suicide Squad opens Friday.

GUN TEST: GUNCRAFTER HOSS
dailycaller.com | 6/12/2018 | Staff
tictac399 (Posted by) Level 3
6/12/2018 5:07 PM EST in General
Click For Photo: http://cdn01.dailycaller.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/GD_Hoss-e1528834548589.jpg
The Guncrafter Industries HOSS is an overbuilt version of Browning's classic 1911, designed to address some of the common failure points on that particular pistol.
How this beefed up 1911 is engineered to last a lifetime:
HOSS - Lifetime
The HOSS was conceived as a 1911 that would last a lifetime.
To do this, Guncrafter's engineers addressed common failures in the design one by one.
Facet - Gun - Extractor - Barrel - Link
Nearly every facet of the gun is beefed up, from its magnum-sized extractor to a larger barrel link.
Additionally, the barrel wall thickness was increased by 56 percent.
Fitting - Gun
With extremely tight fitting, the gun performs admirably and is as accurate as fussier 1911s.
The 40-ounce HOSS has 8+1 capacity and is constructed from stainless steel.
Pistol - MSRP
The pistol's MSRP is $3,700.
If there were a book of firearms successes, probably the first chapter would be dedicated to John Browning's 1911 pistol. Designed in 1908 and adopted by the U.S. Army in 1911, it's a design that's stood the test of time for more than 100 years, and it's still as popular as ever. There are dozens of companies producing 1911s, but only a few of those makers truly approach the undertaking of building the best pistol possible as a serious challenge.
HOSS - Combination - Looks - Durability
The HOSS is expensive, sure, but it's a perfect combination of good looks and rugged durability.
Obviously, the pistols Guncrafter Industries — located in Huntsville, Arkansas — makes are built to sell, but they're built to sell to the most discriminating buyer who's only satisfied with the best gun money can buy. In my experience as a writer, I've tested four Guncrafter guns and never experienced a single malfunction. It's easy to build a 1911 that doesn't malfunction, but to build a 1911 that's capable of shooting rifle-sized groups off a Ransom Rest without malfunctions is another story.
HOSS - Project - Idea
When the HOSS project was undertaken, the idea was to build a...

I shoot A LOT of weddings and engagements at the Distillery and sometimes I kind-of feel… "eh" when people say they want to take their photos there. What's interesting is that when I find myself at the Distillery again, somehow inspiration takes place! Creativity and laughter start to flow. I've come to realize that although I LOVE new and unique locations it's really the couple that are my true inspiration. This was one of those shoots. Vic and Kellie totally melted my heart. They are super cute together and were such fun to work with. So the moral of the story, don't worry if you want to take your photos at the Distillery. All that really matters is that you're in LOVE! PS. I don't think I'll ever tire of having a coffee at Balzac's either.
SO super stoked to be shooting your wedding in Muskoka next year Vic and Kel. Enjoy this special time.
OMG – what stunning shots! So natural and beautiful. Who gets to look that amazing in t-shirts and jeans? I can only image how the wedding pics are going turn out. Wow!
Absolutelu Gorgeous pictures. Two beautiful models (3 if you include Tinsley), very magazine worthy. The shots on the boat are amazing. Kellie looks so gorgeous. That final shot on the staircase is stunning. Love love love!!

Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy Review
Jon Hueber Oct 25, 2021 8:00 am Oct 30, 2021 8:47 pm
Last fall, Square Enix released the long-awaited Marvel's Avengers from Crystal Dynamics, and while the core game was fun in the beginning, the heavy emphasis on end-game events, grinding, and repetitive gameplay kept it from really shining. This year, Square Enix once again dips into the Marvel well with Guardians of the Galaxy, developed by Eidos Montreal — the team behind the amazing Tomb Raider reboot — and the differences are like night and day.
I know that the two games shouldn't really be compared, as they are from different studios and are two wholly different experiences, but since both are based on Marvel Comics properties, the comparisons are inevitable. Guardians of the Galaxy is on such a different level of quality that it quickly separates itself from what has come before, and gives players one of the best comic-book-based games ever.
Guardians of the Galaxy borrows from the comics more than the films, which gives it a bigger toolbox to curate an enjoyable game. There are plenty of epically cool moments, especially in the final third, though Square Enix asked us not to divulge too much. But for fans of the GOTG comics, strap in, as you are about to go on an unforgettable ride.
Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, and his team of Rocket, Groot, Drax, and Gamora are just making their way in the galaxy, picking up odd jobs for cash and avoiding the Nova Corps as best as they can. When the game begins, the Guardians are seeking a mythical beast from Lady Hellbender, and they enter the quarantine zone to do so. This leads the team into a confrontation with the Nova Corps that sets off a series of events that shakes the universe to its very core, testing the faith of this rag-tag team of misfits like never before.
The story takes the team to various locations and scenarios, some familiar to film fans, others familiar to comics fans. For fans of both, it's a treat on all fronts. Players control Peter, who can assign tasks to the team during combat and exploration. If you need a door opened, call on Rocket's ability to hack locks; if you need a new path, call on Drax's strength to break though a cracked wall. The maps are huge and there are secrets hidden everywhere, but it never feels too big. Guardians of the Galaxy draws on other games, including Tomb Raider and even Mass Effect, to establish its core gameplay, but then builds off that with Marvel goodness.
The controls are fluid and intuitive, and I was amazed at how quickly I adapted to the whole thing. Combat can (and will) get very hairy and intense as the game goes on, and yet I found myself able to handle even the biggest enemy rushes by using the team's skills at the right time with a few simple button presses. The various skills, powers, and team assignment commands are mapped to various button combinations, without getting too complicated. Eidos Montreal found the veritable sweet spot by keeping Guardians of the Galaxy challenging without making it too easy — and in a combat-heavy game like this, that balance is important.
Peter has dual blasters left for him by his father, Jason of Spartax (remember, this game follows the origin story from the comics), and as the game progresses, the weapons adapt and take on a variety of elemental properties. Gamora has her sword. Drax has his blades. And Rocket and Groot team up to create a living, breathing gun battery. In combat, Peter can activate skills for himself and the team, and each character has four unique combat skills, with the fourth being a superpower move. For example, Rocket's unleashes a comically large weapon that includes missiles, bombs, and possibly even a landing strip for small aircraft. I laugh every time he whips it out.
Utilizing these skills is paramount to success in combat, especially when the screen fills with enemies of various strengths and weaknesses. When things get too hairy — and they will — Peter can call a huddle, where the team explains their thoughts, and it's up to the player to decide how to pump the team up. A successful huddle will power up the team for a short while in a battle, while failing only powers Peter.
As an action RPG, Guardians of the Galaxy sparkles like stardust, but what really separates this game from its contemporaries is the surprisingly emotional story of a team of misfits coming together when it matters most and realizing that they are a family no matter what happens. Better yet, the narrative is graced with some of the best voice-over performances in recent memory. Drax, voiced by Jason Cavalier, is singled out for his stunning performance, but each member of the team has their moment in the spotlight, and their respective actors deliver in every way. The writing keeps the story light, and the banter between the teammates drives the narrative.
Of course, it wouldn't be Guardians of the Galaxy without some incredible licensed music, and the soundtrack is littered with some of the biggest hits of the 1980s (trading in the soft-rock — or "yacht rock" of the films), and I've found myself laughing out loud by breaking a team-inspiring huddle only for Wham's "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" to begin playing. Who would have thought this George Michael/Andrew Ridgely hit from the decade of excess would fit in so well while fighting epic monsters on a planet you probably have never heard of? That's the beauty of this game. There are surprises in every nook and corner, and each gameplay session has been a different and unique experience.
Guardians of the Galaxy is also absolutely stunning to look at. I played through the game on PlayStation 5, and the graphical fidelity is without peer. The line between cutscene and gameplay is non-existent as it all flows together seamlessly. The visual design and use of color on some of these alien planets are jaw-dropping. The artists at Eidos Montreal have crafted one of the best-looking games of 2021 — if not all time.
Guardians of the Galaxy is an amazing gaming experience that takes the best elements from both the films and the comics to create the seminal Guardians adventure. By the end of the game, I really felt that I connected with my team, as the strong writing and performances brought these characters to life in new and exciting ways. The combat is intuitive and thrilling, and the exploration elements can lead to new character costumes, all without having to spend real money (yes, I'm looking at you, Avengers). This is how team-based games should be built, and other developers should be paying attention.
Guardians of the Galaxy is, as Drax would say, a butt-striking adventure that never lets up, taking players on an epic journey that I will not soon forget. Even with an onslaught of new games coming this holiday season, I'm ready to go back and replay this one from beginning to end. It's one of the best comic book-based games I've ever played, and I hope that it's the beginning of a new game franchise, as the greater Marvel universe is vast, and there are tons of stories to mine from the deep reaches of space. With any luck, this game is just be the beginning.
Editor's Note: The name of the actor who voiced Drax was misidentified. It has been corrected. We apologize to both actors.
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy takes the action RPG and draws from both the films and comics to create a stunning gaming experience. With humor, an amazing soundtrack, and stellar gameplay, this is one of the best team-based comic book games ever.


Human beings are seemingly hard-wired to value instant gratification of our needs and wants. We like to have what we want right now, not later; we don't want to wait for results. Today's society caters to this desire. Notice the dearth products and services that promise instant push-button results: fast food, diet pills, microwave meals, and airport security fast passes are a few examples. Even the way we consume digital media has evolved into an instant, "on-demand" model. Take for example Netflix – a digital distribution service of television and movies – who offers two ways to consume content. Customers can either receive a DVD of a selected movie in the mail, or they can choose to stream the video instantly via the Internet. Netflix has 33 million members who stream videos compared with only 8 million who get DVDs by mail (Quirk 2013, Netflix 2013). Netflix built a successful business by understanding that most people, when given an option, would rather watch a movie instantly on the Internet then wait for the DVD to arrive in the mail.
I'm not arguing against completely eradicating some instant gratification; I enjoy the convenience of using my microwave more than anyone! However, I think it is important to take a step back and recognize the impact of such behavior in general terms. Fast isn't turning us into masters of the universe; in fact, the prospect of instant results is making us more impatient. The need to have instant gratification of our wants and desires is not new, but our expectation of "instant" has become faster and, as a result, our patience is thinner. We seem to have lost the importance of patience.
This loss of patience also applies to our yoga practice. We walk into the hot room and are conditioned to expect immediate results: we think our bodies should immediately bend into perfect postures, that we should realize complete stillness during Savasana, and that our minds will be totally calm and peaceful. When these things don't happen for us right away, it is common to grow impatient and start to think the yoga is not working for us. Bikram addresses this very issue and states that patience is the fifth quality of the mind; patience is an essential component of attaining Self Realization. Even if we have developed the four other qualities of the mind – faith, self-control, determination, and concentration – mental peace will remain out of our grasp if we do not practice patience. "Your journey to Self-Realization will be a long one," Bikram writes, "it's not an overnight thing, like they FedEx it to you or something. This is a lifelong process you've just started; you are going to need patience" (Choudhury 2007).
Growing up, I was constantly reminded that patience is a virtue. It seems, however, to be a virtue in short supply. In fact, my family would call me "Patience" rather than "Constance" to remind me of my proclivity towards instant results. Patience is difficult and at times arduous; it is like hauling a heavy trailer with no assistance. You know the end is coming, you just don't know when you are going to get there. But the good thing about having patience is that you know the end result is always worthwhile. So, the next time you walk into the hot room and are frustrated by your seeming lack of progress, practice being patient. Lie still in Savasana, wait your mind out, and eventually you will win. The mental chatter will subside. With yoga, overnight results are not the goal; instead, yoga is a lifelong journey that promises to be worth the wait.

Homeschooling does provide real advantages, but many discussions avoid the reality that homeschooling can't fix everything. In a session meant more as inspiration than information, explore what homeschooling can do and can't do, and why we homeschool anyway.
Explore these techniques for enriching home education beyond your curriculum. These tools can assist in transforming kids' interests into larger learning experiences "out in the real world." They can also assist in developing critical thinking and synthesis in the "world of the mind." Consider how growing in your role as facilitator, mentor and dialogue leader could be an asset to your children's education regardless of their age or your approach to homeschooling—and how it might have unintended benefits for you.
My hope is that this list will assist conference organizers in connecting with Jeanne Faulconer and other workshop leaders and speakers. Furthermore, my desire is to help homeschool workshop leaders and speakers develop relationships with more convention planners and audiences. May your efforts be for the glory of Christ and the strengthening of His saints.

Radical Labor Education, Part I
We are on our way to Amherst, Massachusetts, where I will be teaching a two-week course in labor economics to labor union brothers and sisters. I have been a labor educator for thirty years. I have taught working people, mostly union leaders and members, a wide variety of courses in all kinds of settings. I have taught economics to auto workers in eight-hour seminars held in motel conference rooms, collective bargaining to local workers throughout Western Pennsylvania in six weekly three-hour classes meeting in smoky union halls, labor economics to union leaders in an MA program at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and online classes at other colleges and universities.
The labor education I embrace is "radical." My goal is to help students grasp the nature of our political economy, to see it as one riven by class conflict, driven by the exploitation of wage labor by the capitalist class, and in need of radical transformation. By radical transformation I mean a movement toward an economic system based upon cooperative production, democratic decision-making, egalitarian distribution, and a thorough reorganization of work relationships— in a word, socialism.
Spontaneous Education?
While working people are often enough unhappy with their work, or lack of it, and alienated from the political system, they ordinarily do not have a very clear understanding of the nature of our political economy or a desire to radically transform it. Why is this?
Karl Marx hinted that the defining feature of the political economy, namely the accumulation process—the incessant drive by employers to make money and expand their operations—would help to educate and radicalize workers. The accumulation of capital, he showed, cannot take place unless workers can be compelled to work hard and long enough to produce an output that, when sold, returns to the capitalists an amount of money greater than what they have to pay the workers. To make sure that this happens, employers have to gain as much control as possible over the way the workers perform their jobs. They have to control what we call the "labor process"; if the employees command it, they can prevent employers from extracting the surplus labor time that ensures their profits.
Employers use many techniques (control mechanisms) to get workers to do their bidding. They herd them into factories, divide their labor into interchangeable details, mechanize as much work as possible, use time and motion studies—pioneered by Frederick Taylor—to systematize all other control techniques, employ systematic hiring methods, fire recalcitrants, and force their employees into submission when necessary. However, despite the effectiveness of what employers do, their methods sometimes have unexpected consequences, or as we say, they operate in contradictory ways. They can educate workers directly, through the concrete work experiences they generate. For example, workers in factories are easier to monitor, but they are also more likely to understand their commonalities than are workers laboring in isolation in their homes as they did before the rise of the factory system. And people who see themselves in others are more likely to make common cause against their employers. The detailed division of labor, in which formerly skilled labor processes are subdivided into unskilled details that are each assigned to different workers, makes laborers more alike, as does the mechanization of production, and these once again make collective action plausible to imagine. All of the control mechanisms treat workers as commodities, to be bought just like tools and machines, and they are all implemented on the assumption that employers own the capacity of employees to work just as surely as they own these same tools and machines. Workers are bound to resist them, since they deny to the laborers their humanity, their innate ability to think and to act.
If the accumulation of capital itself did, in fact, educate workers as to their true circumstances, then class consciousness and class struggle would occur more or less spontaneously. As capitalism developed and became a universal mode of production, working men and women would develop their understanding apace, sooner or later realizing that it spelled their doom.
We know from history that such spontaneous education and radicalization do occur. Unskilled immigrant mill workers might talk about their jobs in bars and social clubs. They are well aware of the horrendous conditions they face every day, and they complain bitterly about them . One day, a particular event, such as an accident, the unjust firing of a coworker, or particularly brutal treatment by a foreman occurs and their anger boils over, leading them to walk off the job. A strike and probable employer and police repression could both educate and radicalize formerly passive factory hands. As an old man said in a film about Eugene Debs that I used to show my classes (I paraphrase here), "When a policeman's billy club hits your head, this is a most educative experience."
However, while understanding can arise naturally, there are just too many forces at work in capitalist society militating against this happening often enough to challenge the power of capital. For example, management's denial to workers of their innate capability to conceptualize work, to function as full human beings, can make them incapable of understanding what is happening to them. To paraphrase Adam Smith, doing repetitive work all day, which is what the detailed division of labor and machinery compel, makes a person as stupid as it is possible for a person to be. And even if objectively workers are an undifferentiated mass of detail workers, subjectively they are not. They are still of different races, genders, religions, and nationalities, and employers can and have exacerbated such differences, ruling by dividing. Mandatory public schooling teaches workers to be obedient, to salute the flag, to conform in a hundred and one ways, and these disrupt solidarity. Love of country, inculcated by the schools, the media, the government, and most other social institutions, substitutes hatred of the people of other nations for hatred of the bosses. Employers disperse production geographically, destroying the working class communities that served as centers of resistance to the rule of capital.
No matter the circumstances workers face, some of them will figure out what is going on and try to do something about it. This might be because they can read and write or made a chance acquaintance with someone who can teach them the facts of capitalist life. A workplace event might trigger the desire to figure things out. At the same time, some persons outside of the working class, like Marx himself, will gain a critical understanding of the political economy and be led to try to educate workers to gain it as well.
Once some comprehension is achieved, action must follow. A more or less natural step will be to organize around workplace issues such as long hours and low pay or issues of control of the speed of work and the ways in which the work is done. Usually led by skilled workers and aided by radical intellectuals, workers form labor unions to confront their employers collectively. A union is, among many things, a means through which workers educate themselves about the nature of their position in society. Through their collective actions, working people learn about the exploitive nature of the economic system, and they gain confidence in their ability to do things themselves. In certain situations, such as mass or general strikes, they may grasp that they have the ability to organize production and distribution. By their nature, unions are egalitarian organizations, and they may foster cooperation and understanding between men and women and blacks and whites. The shorter hours, higher wages, and better working conditions that unionization brings will themselves allow workers the time, money, and better health necessary for further self-education.

Sandwichman says:
From "Practical Working of Trades' Unions" by Sir Archibald Alison, Sheriff of Lanarkshire in Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, March 1838
"No one seemed to anticipate that the workmen themselves were to be the principal sufferers by the repeal, and that the despotic authority assumed by the Managing Committees was to be the source of far greater distress and suffering to the operatives than all the Combination Laws had been, or than any government, how despotic soever, could venture to inflict. Yet all this has now proved to be the case, and the misery thus brought upon the working classes by the tyrants of their own creation far exceeds in intensity any thing which has been produced even by the combined effect of scarcity of provisions and commercial embarrassment. A more memorable commentary never has been read on the prudence of intrusting the working-classes to their own guidance, according to the approved system of Modern Political Philosophy, or of the enormous peril even to themselves, of those principles of self-government, which are at once the most popular, the most common, and the most dangerous of the many false doctrines which for the last ten years have overspread the world.
"If, indeed, the working classes could be brought to combine without violence and intimidation to others, much of the argument urged in support of the unlimited power of combination would be well founded, and by far the greatest part of the suffering they bring upon themselves and their fellows would be avoided. But experience proves that this never is the case: and a consideration of the disposition of human nature in such circumstances forbids the hope that it ever will be otherwise. Violence, terror, and intimidation, are in fact the foundation of all popular combination; and so universally is this the case, that it may be doubted whether there has been "so much as a single instance of combination, either before the repeal of the Combination Laws, or since that time, of a strike lasting for any considerable time without threats or violence to the new hands, having formed, either by express agreement or general understanding, an essential part of the system. Indeed, if you speak to an operative in any trade of striking, and conducting himself according to the principles he ostensibly professes, that is, of giving to others that liberty in disposing of their labor which he asserts for himself, he will at once, if you are in his confidence, laugh at your folly, and admit that, without intimidation and menaces to others, combination would be a mere empty name."
The salient thing about the above passage is that it is the political conviction of a man whose view of trade unionism got subtly homogenized and integrated into the textbook dogma of Economics in the guise of the "lump-of-labor fallacy." In its earliest incarnation, it wasn't just the idea of a fixed amount of work to be done that was derided as a fallacy, but the "dangerous" notion of self government.
Matt Noyes says:
Hi Michael, wish I could participate in one of your classes. Two questions: have you ever written up your lessons? – it would be helpful to others trying to do the type of worker education you propose. Also, have you ever used the Organic Goodie Simulation from Bigelow and Diamond's Power in Our Hands? I find it to be a great tool for bringing out the basic dynamics of the boss/worker relationship (and worker/worker relationships) that is true to life but also raises the question of alternatives. Take care.
Mike B) says:
If you could somehow convey the principles embodied in "Value, Price and Profit" to your students….
"At the same time, and quite apart from the general servitude involved in the wages system, the working class ought not to exaggerate to themselves the ultimate working of these everyday struggles. They ought not to forget that they are fighting with effects, but not with the causes of those effects; that they are retarding the downward movement, but not changing its direction; that they are applying palliatives, not curing the malady. They ought, therefore, not to be exclusively absorbed in these unavoidable guerilla fights incessantly springing up from the never ceasing encroachments of capital or changes of the market. They ought to understand that, with all the miseries it imposes upon them, the present system simultaneously engenders the material conditions and the social forms necessary for an economical reconstruction of society. Instead of the conservative motto: "A fair day's wage for a fair day's work!" they ought to inscribe on their banner the revolutionary watchword: "Abolition of the wages system!"
"After this very long and, I fear, tedious exposition, which I was obliged to enter into to do some justice to the subject matter, I shall conclude by proposing the following resolutions:
"Firstly. A general rise in the rate of wages would result in a fall of the general rate of profit, but, broadly speaking, not affect the prices of commodities.
"Secondly. The general tendency of capitalist production is not to raise, but to sink the average standard of wages.
"Thirdly. Trades Unions work well as centers of resistance against the encroachments of capital. They fail partially from an injudicious use of their power. They fail generally from limiting themselves to a guerilla war against the effects of the existing system, instead of simultaneously trying to change it, instead of using their organized forces as a lever for the final emancipation of the working class that is to say the ultimate abolition of the wages system."

Sandwichman, Thanks for the interesting quote. Self government is still a radical idea to most.
Mike, Great and useful quote. I'll use it!
Matt, Thanks for the kind words. I am not familiar with that simulation. I'll check into it.
Wow! That's great news, FW. I hope you blog about the reception you got to these approaches.

Cross country skiing is considered a hard and challenging sport and it is part of the winter sports Nordic skiing set of activities that also includes ski jumping.
Cross country skiing was not originally a sport. It traces it roots to earlier practices in Fennoscandian countries in the ancient Europe. In the 19th century, when skiing was starting to become a popular winter activity, cross country skiing also emerged as a popular, albeit harder alternative to downhill skiing.
Originally, the activity was a means of mobility for the transport of a person from one place to another using skis and ski poles to glide over the snow. In ancient times, people were really challenged by the immobility and the adverse effects of the snow on transportation. Thus, cross country skiing became widely used because it was much easier than walking through the snow.
For Hunting
The primary use of cross country skiing when it was devised in the Fennoscandian region was for hunting activities. Winter and snow prevented people from finding ample and sufficient food. Thus, through cross country skiing, the people were able to efficiently hunt for deer and other animals even in the deep snow.
Cross country skiing for hunting has become widely practiced by many in countries plagued by excessive snow. Nowadays, people in Norway and Finland, where there is snow most time of the year, are most familiar with cross country skiing.
The native Americans are also believed to have used cross country skiing for hunting purposes especially in those areas in the United States that was covered by snow throughout most of the year.
Other Uses of Cross Country Skiing
Cross country skiing has also been used as a useful skill by explorers during winter season. Those explorers make use of skiing as a means of getting to geographic locations characterized by slopes and down hills capped with inches and inches of snow that would otherwise be very difficult to access.
Army troops have also learned how to cross country ski. When is areas with suuficient snow, they carry ski poles and crossbows with them along with their guns and other equipment while cross country skiing. The skill is really hard and the practice is really challenging and, therefore, is excellent endurance training for troops.
Cross Country Ski Equipment
The equipment used for cross country skiing was traditionally consisted of wooden skis and bamboo poles. Leather hand straps were used to tie the poles to one's hands. The early cross country skier wore leather boots with very thick and firm soles that were tied to the skis with leather straps.
Equipment for cross country skiing has been enhanced by modern materials used in making skis, poles, and boots, and are widely marketed in countries where there is excessive snow in the wintertime. The prices of the new equipment can get very expensive, and that is why participating in this sport or recreational hobby of cross country skiing can be considered a significant investment.
Cross country sking is well worth the time, effort, and money that it takes as it provides a most satisfying physical activity for those who enjoy the cold and snow, and the quiet and beauty that is experienced while traversing the countryside.


A recently discovered livestock disease that can cause foetal abnormalities and stillbirth in sheep and cattle has spread to almost all of Britain, with more than 1,500 cases detected, according to government figures.
Data from the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency, part of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), showed Schmallenberg virus had been confirmed in livestock in all counties of England and Wales, as well as to a more limited extent in Scotland.
The virus was detected in the Netherlands and Germany in late 2011 and named after the town in North Rhine-Westphalia where it first emerged. Spread by midge bites, it tends to cause abnormalities to skulls and limbs, and can affect goats. In adult animals it causes fever, loss of appetite and reduced milk production. It was first detected in lambs in eastern England at the start of 2012.
A possible vaccine has been developed and tried out elsewhere in Europe with apparent success. Defra's Veterinary Medicines Directorate has confirmed it is considering an application for use of the Bovilis SBV vaccine, with the process near completion.
The spread of the disease will be seen more vividly with the lambing season, and the National Farmers Union has called on the government to make sure the vaccine is available soon, warning that while the disease is still classified as low impact overall it can cause significant difficulties to individual farmers.
Joanne Pugh from the National Sheep Association told the BBC: "It's incredibly high impact for the flocks that have had it and had massive losses."
