Here's how the Apple Watch will soon help protect your hearing
Published Sat, Jun 15 2019 10:00 AM EDT
Todd Haselton@robotodd
Apple's watchOS 6 update includes a new feature called Noise.
It can notify you if you're in an area that's too loud for an extended period of time that could be detrimental to your hearing.
Here's how Noise works on the Apple Watch in the first watchOS 6 beta.
You shouldn't be in an environment louder than 100 decibels for longer than 3 minutes, according to the World Health Organization.
Todd Haselton | CNBC
Apple will update the Apple Watch with its latest software, watchOS 6 in the fall. It'll include a new feature called Noise that can be used to notify you if the environment you're in is loud enough to damage your hearing. I tried it out using the watchOS 6 beta, and it's pretty neat.
Noise is off by default. But you can turn it on inside the new watchOS 6 Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
You can turn on the option in the new Apple Watch app, which will be available in the fall. I'm using a beta version here to test and show you.
I was able to set up notifications for when my Apple Watch detected a specific noise threshold. Apple recommended sound levels from the World Health Organization, which let you get notifications for when you hit certain decibel volumes. Per the recommendations, you shouldn't exceed:
80 decibels for longer than five hours per day.
85 decibels for more than two hours per day.
90 decibels for more than 30 minutes per day.
95 decibels for 10 minutes per day.
100 decibels for more than three minutes per day.
I set the controls right in the middle, at 90 decibels, but you can choose to get a notification when your watch notices the volume in your environment is more than any of those thresholds for longer than three minutes. Then, on my Apple Watch, I turned on one of the watch widgets (Apple calls these complications) to show me decibel readings in real time.
The watch showed the environment I was in was at a safe 34 decibels just sitting at the computer. It jumped to about 45 decibels when I was typing, but again that was still safe. I turned on Spotify and it jumped up a little bit more:
The Apple Watch will soon tell you if it's too loud.
Then I cranked up the music volume and my dog started barking. According to the World Health Organization stats, I shouldn't be in this environment for more than five hours a day.
You should limit your exposure to anything louder than 80 decibels to less than 5 hours a day, according to the World Health Organization.
Finally, I was able to get it up to 100 decibels by whistling as loud as I could right into the Apple Watch:
Had I stayed in this environment for longer than three minutes, I would have received a notifications that the sound level could be high enough to damage my hearing. The widget is useful and is a good way for you to see how dangerous some of those environments can be. In many cases, I probably would know if something is too loud, like at a concert, where some people wear earplugs for extra safety.
Apple says that water or wind can affect the accuracy of the ratings, so it might be off if you're out on the beach or just took a swim. Also, Apple says it "does not record or save any sounds to measure these levels," so it's not listening to what's going on around you.

Public Coverage Is Up, Private Coverage Is Down — Yet Likely Not for Long
The uninsured rate dipped slightly between 2020 and 2021, and while private insurance continued to be the most common type of coverage, it decreased in prevalence while government coverage increased, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau. One Wall Street analyst suggests that the findings are unsurprising given the current policy and demographic landscape, but he notes that trends are poised to change considerably when millions cease to qualify for Medicaid.
The Census Bureau's survey, conducted between February and April, asked individuals whether they had any type of health coverage in the past calendar year. In 2021, 8.3% of the U.S. population lacked health insurance, compared to 8.6% in 2020. Put another way, 27.2 million Americans did not have coverage last year, down from 28.3 million the year prior. The 2021 uninsured rate of 8.3% represented a small uptick compared to 2019, however, when it reached a low of 8.0%.

The tunnels of Cu Chi were built over a period of 25 years that began sometime in the late 1940s. They were the improvised response of a poorly equipped peasant army to its enemy's high-tech ordnance, helicopters, artillery, bombers and chemical weapons. It consists of a network of tunnels that stretched over 200km with three levels deep. Cu Chi tunnels were not only fortifications for Vietnames soldiers, but were also the center of community life that linked village to village. Hidden beneath the destroyed villages were underground schools and public spaces where couples were married and private places where lovers met. There were even theaters inside the tunnels where performers entertained with song and dance and traditional stories. However, the life under tunnels was difficult. Air, food and water were scarce and the tunnels were infested with ants, poisonous centipedes, scorpions, spiders and vermin. Most of the time, guerrillas would spend the day in the tunnels working or resting and come out only at night to scavenge for supplies, tend their crops or engage the enemy in battle. Sometimes, during periods of heavy bombing or American troop movement, they would be forced to remain underground for many days at a time. Sickness was rampant among the people living in the tunnels, especially malaria, which was the second largest cause of death next to battle wounds.

Dmitrij Iwanowicz Popow (ros. Дмитрий Иванович Попов; ur. 1892 w Kononowie, zm. maj 1921 w Moskwie) – rosyjski marynarz oraz rewolucjonista. Działacz anarchistyczny, jeden z dowódców podczas powstania lewicowych eserowców, a w późniejszym okresie członek Rewolucyjnej Powstańczej Armii Ukrainy.

Życiorys
Dmitrij Popow urodził się w rodzinie chłopskiej, we wsi Kononowo w guberni moskiewskiej. Po ukończeniu szkoły w wieku 14 lat rozpoczął pracę w moskiewskich fabrykach. W 1914 został powołany do czynnej służby we Flocie Bałtyckiej. W 1917 przyłączył się do Partii Lewicowych Socjalistów-Rewolucjonistów i brał udział w walkach podczas rewolucji październikowej w Petersburgu. Następnie był członkiem Wszechrosyjskiego Centralnego Komitetu Wykonawczego. Na przełomie 1917 i 1918 utworzył w Helsinkach "czerwono-sowiecki oddział fiński", który w marcu 1918 został przekazany na rozkaz Wojskowej Rady Rewolucyjnej Republiki do dyspozycji Moskiewskiej Rady Deputowanych Ludu, następnie 8 kwietnia 1918 przekazany do Czeka, a Popow został mianowany szefem sztabu oddziału bojowego.

Bunt eserowców
W czerwcu 1918 eserowcy rozpoczęli przygotowania do zbrojnego powstania przeciwko rządowi sowieckiemu pod przywództwem Partii Bolszewickiej. Dowodzony przez Popowa oddział Czeka został postawiony w stan gotowości. W dniu 30 czerwca zażądano, aby jednostka otrzymała dodatek żywnościowy, wskazując jego liczbę na 1000 osób, podczas gdy w rzeczywistości było ich 600. 2 lipca Popow pilnie poprosił o nosze sanitarne, gąbki i szereg artykułów medycznych w dużych ilościach, najwyraźniej przewidując możliwość bojowych "operacji".

Zmieniono też personel Czeki. Nawet bardziej radykalni rewolucjoniści nie zostali wpuszczeni do siedziby Popowa. Wszystkie bolszewickie elementy zostały usunięte z oddziału. Większość fińskich żołnierzy Armii Czerwonej, którzy wcześniej stanowili podstawę oddziału, udała się na front czechosłowacki. Do oddziału dołączyła grupa żeglarzy Floty Czarnomorskiej, a także rozbrojonych wcześniej anarchistów. 2-3 dni przed powstaniem Popow utrzymywał swój oddział w pełnej gotowości bojowej, ostrzegając wszystkich "danymi" swojego wywiadu, że niemieccy kontrrewolucjoniści zamierzają rozbroić oddział i aresztować jego samego. W nocy z piątku na sobotę ogłoszono alarm, że tej nocy przygotowywany jest atak. W przeddzień powstania Popow osobiście prowadził antyradziecką agitację w oddziale i odegrał aktywną rolę w powstaniu.

Po zabójstwie niemieckiego ambasadora Wilhelma von Mirbacha, ranny zamachowiec Jakow Błumkin schronił się w siedzibie oddziału Popowa w koszarach Pokrowskich. Na wieść o zamachu, Włodzimierz Lenin polecił Feliksowi Dzierżyńskiemu udać się do koszar i aresztować odpowiedzialnych za śmierć ambasadora. Na miejscu jednak to oddział Popowa dokonał aresztowania Dzierżyńskiego i jego ochrony. Eserowcy zajęli następnie siedzibę Czeka na Łubiance. Możliwość zbudowania w służbach specjalnych własnej frakcji wynikła z dużego początkowo zaufania bolszewików do eserowców i umieszczenia działaczy tej partii w kierownictwie Czeka. Ponadto bojownicy z oddziału Popowa aresztowali członków Partii Bolszewickiej w Moskwie. Żeglarze z oddziału zajęli drukarnię na Alei Waganowskiej, pocztę oraz telegraf.

Popow rozkazał swojemu oddziałowi zająć rozległy obszar Moskwy między dworcem Kurskim a placem Sławiańskim. Bolszewicy postanowili umiejscowić swoją artylerię na jak najbliższy dystans strzału i zmiażdżyć powstańców jej ogniem. Po tym, w siedzibie powstańców zdano sobie sprawę z nieskuteczności dalszego oporu, Jurij Sablin i Popow poprowadzili odwrót z Moskwy. Po stłumieniu rebelii Popow został zmuszony do ukrycia się; jak również leczył się z powodu paraliżu. 27 listopada 1918 na otwartym posiedzeniu sądowym Trybunału Rewolucyjnego Czeki, został ogłoszony "wrogiem ludu pracującego i banitą" oraz skazany na rozstrzelanie gdy tylko zostanie złapany.

Rewolucja ukraińska
W grudniu 1918 udał się do Charkowa, gdzie eserowcy pracowali nad zorganizowaniem ruchu rebelianckiego przeciwko Dyrektoriatowi. Na początku 1919 pod nazwiskiem Kormilitsyn pełnił funkcję asystenta dowódcy 11. ukraińskiego pułku sowieckiego. Będąc rozpoznanym w pobliżu Bachmutu i nie chcąc być poddanym ewentualnym prześladowaniom, udał się do Charkowa, a stamtąd do kongresu lewicowych eserowców w Kijowie. Po zdobyciu miasta przez siły Białych pod koniec sierpnia 1919 wyjechał do Jekaterynosławia. Jesienią 1919 utworzył oddział buntowników, z którym wstąpił do Rewolucyjnej Powstańczej Armii Ukrainy.

Od stycznia do marca 1920, cierpiąc na tyfus, ukrywał się przed prześladowaniami w jednej z wiosek na terenie Hulajpola. Pod koniec marca 1920 prowadził agitację wśród ludności i zajmował się pracą kulturalną i edukacyjną. To wtedy zadeklarował się jako anarchokomunista. Pod koniec maja 1920 został wybrany członkiem Rady Partyzantów Rewolucyjnych Ukrainy (machnowców), od czerwca 1920 - sekretarzem Rady. W dniach 29-30 września 1920 w imieniu Rady Powstańców Rewolucyjnych Ukrainy negocjował telegraficznie z przedstawicielami władz sowieckich na Ukrainie w sprawie zaprzestania działań wojennych i zawarcia porozumienia o wspólnej walce przeciwko Piotrowi Wrangelowi. 10 października 1920 podpisał warunki wstępnego porozumienia wojskowo-politycznego między rządem Ukraińskiej Socjalistycznej Republiki Radzieckiej a Rewolucyjną Armią Powstańczą Ukrainy.

Jako przedstawiciel machnowszczyzny na froncie południowym, lubił w swych działaniach prowokować, otwarcie sprzeciwiając się rządowi sowieckiemu. Nestor Machno, który napisał do niego w liście, wyrażał niezwykle ostre niezadowolenie z jego zachowania: "…praca powierzonej wam reprezentacji politycznej i wojskowej jest niezwykle odpowiedzialna, a wy, w Charkowie, powinniście dawać jej przykład cały czas, starając się przynosić maksymalne korzyści naszemu ruchowi ze wszystkich jego stron: wojskowej, politycznej i kulturalno-edukacyjnej. Zupełnie niedopuszczalne jest, aby po raz drugi usłyszeć o waszym niedbałym nastawieniu do sprawy przydzielonej wam przez wojsko. Mam nadzieję, że następne wieści dotyczące waszej pracy będą inne, bardziej zachęcające dla nas wszystkich".

W nocy z 26 listopada 1920 Popow wraz z innymi przedstawicielami Armii Powstańczej Ukrainy został aresztowany w Charkowie i zgodnie z rozkazem Dzierżyńskiego wysłany do Moskwy. Rozstrzelany przez Czeka pomiędzy 28 lutego a 18 maja 1921.

Thread: A snapshot of where migrants go after release into the United States
A snapshot of where migrants go after release into the United States
U.S. destinations of 1,545 migrants who passed through an El Paso shelter during February.
Annunciation House, a nonprofit organization that helps shelter and arrange transportation for migrants, recorded the migrants' country of origin and destination.
By Nick Miroff and Tim Meko
April 12 at 9:25 PM
Central American families are arriving at the U.S. southern border in record numbers, pushing unauthorized crossings to a 12-year high. Unlike past migration waves, when most migrants were Mexican laborers who typically headed for Texas, California and other western states, the latest newcomers are fanning out across the United States to reunite with family members.
The U.S. government has not released information on the whereabouts or U.S. destinations of recent migrants. But The Washington Post has obtained exclusive data on the nationality and U.S. destination of one small sample: 1,545 migrants who passed through a shelter run by the El Paso nonprofit Annunciation House in February, about 2 percent of the total number of migrants who crossed into the country that month.
Annunciation House arranges with U.S. authorities to take those released from custody into local shelters and then help them arrange travel to their destinations in the U.S. interior.
[Ruben Garcia has sheltered migrants in El Paso for over four decades. With a crush at the border, he now needs a warehouse.]
The White House has been floating plans to ship migrants to "sanctuary cities" — localities that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities — and then release them there, trying to retaliate against Democratic lawmakers who have blocked funding for more immigration detention beds. Though authorities have said there is no operational plan in place to do so, President Trump tweeted Friday that such plans are under "strong consideration."
[White House proposed releasing immigrant detainees in sanctuary cities, targeting political foes]
The Annunciation House data reviewed by The Post — travelers' country of origin and their destination city after release from immigration custody — shows that migrants headed for cities and towns in 42 states, including many places that are not considered sanctuary cities. Many migrants went to the Southeast and Midwest, regions that were not major immigrant destinations a generation ago.
The migrants who traveled through Annunciation House came from nearly a dozen countries, including four countries that accounted for 95 percent of the monthly total: Guatemala, Honduras, Cuba, and El Salvador. Others came from Mexico, Nicaragua, Brazil, and Ecuador. Four migrants came from Russia and one each came from Venezuela and Iraq.

Guatemalans (706)
Guatemala in recent months has surpassed Mexico as the leading source of unauthorized migrants at the U.S. border. Emigration levels are highest from the country's impoverished rural highlands, where years of drought and meager harvests have pushed the region's highest malnutrition rates even higher.
Guatemalan smuggling networks are the most developed in Central America, producing fake documents, a lending system for migrants and savvy "coyote" smuggling guides who operate like travel agencies and deliver families to the U.S. border in a matter of days using express buses.
Hondurans (460)
Honduras is now the second-largest source of migrants to the United States, after Guatemala. The caravan groups that have been a focus of President Trump's anger are overwhelmingly composed of Honduran migrants fleeing the country's political violence, fearsome street gangs and endemic rural poverty.
Salvadorans (104)
Salvadoran numbers are way down. They used to be roughly comparable to Honduras and Guatemalans, but U.S. humanitarian aid that supports programs in El Salvador have contributed to improving public safety and job prospects in the country, reducing the flow of migrants to the United States. U.S. officials have praised the efforts of USAID as a model that should be extended to the rest of the region, which is known as the Northern Triangle.

For craft beer lovers, the thrill of discovering a new label is like Christmas Day. But much like realising that Santa is a lie, uncovering how that beer was produced puts a bit of a chill on the revelry.
At an approximate input-output ratio of five pints of water to one pint of beer, the brewing process is pretty resource-intensive. However some craft breweries across the UK are beginning to use more natural, sustainable methods so they can reduce their carbon footprint and conserve water.
The Good Pub Guide's 2013 Best Brewery of the Year, Otter Brewery in Devon, is known for more than just its award-winning ales. Recognised in 2011 by the Society of Independent Brewers as the UK's most sustainable brewer, Otter is a leader in green production methods.
The key lies in harnessing the natural resources of the area. Starting with the River Otter, from which the brewery draws both its water and its name. Following the brewing process, waste water is recycled back into a series of ponds surrounded by willows. Here, roots filter out impurities.
Meanwhile, leftover malting barley from the mashing process is delivered to a nearby farm for cattle and pig feed. Spent hops become fertiliser for local gardens and nurseries. Otter keeps energy costs and carbon emissions low with a state-of-the-art cellar equipped with an insulating sedum roof. Made of living vegetation it captures rainwater for washing barrels and equipment. They've also built the UK's first modern underground eco-cellar, meaning there's no need for a costly electric chilling system.
For the eco-conscious craft beer lover, Otter Brewery offers a range of staple ales as well as seasonal specials. Available at national supermarkets and local retail outlets in the Devon area. If you're not down that way, UK delivery can be arranged through Devon Hampers.

There was Pears, of course - it was a surprise to me to find how fine an actor he was, as well as a singer, in the 1969 film of Peter Grimes conducted by Britten. But in my opera-going experience no-one can possibly be greater than the late Philip Langridge.
I saw him three times, twice in Tim Albery's very fine English National Opera production, and once in a Barbican concert performance conducted by Richard Hickox, where his pacing around at the foot of the stage before the final scene seemed horribly real. In fact his madness came across as not acted at all, which is why when we watched the scene in Grimes's hut in the fourth of my Opera in Depth Zoom classes on the work a few weeks ago, the students expressed concern for the (surely too young) boy he roughs up.
That of course wasn't a problem in Deborah Warner's production, now running at the Royal Opera, where the character of Grimes is softened to the point of sentimentality and he never manhandles his apprentice; the boy can touch him tenderly but it doesn't work (as far as I remember) the other way around. Cruz Fitz and Allan Clayton pictured below by Yasuko Kageyama.
Surely we're all in agreement that Allan Clayton manages every vocal aspect of the role superbly, but for me this fisherman wasn't a credible character. Note to director: you don't have to love the protagonist to feel pity for him.
The libretto does present difficulties, of course - how to tie up the visionary with the rough, abusive outsider? But not to have him strike Ellen in Act 2 Scene One - he knocks her to the ground in a scuffle as he makes off with the boy - is a step too far. I didn't like the keening over the corpse to the 'relief' of the Moonlight Interlude, either. This isn't the first time there's been a shying-away from the uncomfortable: I was astonished to discover that Jon Vickers changed two of the lines in the hut scene to avoid the physical assault on the boy (thus avoiding the con violenza written into the score)
Anyone coming to Grimes for the first time, or even after a long time of not seeing it in action, is bound to think 'this is the greatest' - that's partly because of the nature of Britten's inspiration, which as Mark Wigglesworth, recording a Zoom chat with me for one of the other classes after we'd listened to his Glyndebourne/LPO performance of the Passacaglia - the most electrifying I know - is 'bulletproof'.
Our first guest was the ever-generous and articulate Sue Bullock, who spoke with shocking frankness about playing Ellen Orford in the first run of the Albery ENO production - she alternated with Josephine Bartstow - to Langridge's Grimes. They both felt that the tension of the scene outside the church had built to such a pitch that to fake the slap diffused it. So SB gave PL the licence to hit her (that's me being astonished as she tells me below). And she remembers standing in the wings crying while Langridge himself wept real tears in the 'mad scene', then going home - still in tears - fretting that she hadn't done enough to save him.
Talk about the role taking over (but I also remember Simon Keenlyside telling me how he paced the streets of London in the small hours after singing the finest Prince Andrey I think I'll witness in Prokofiev's War and Peace).
I was saving the equal generosity of Richard Jones, another regular visitor, for Samson et Dalila next term, which he convinced me was worth spending four or five Monday afternoons on (as did Nicky Spence, but alas, he's had to withdraw because of the steady convalescence needed to restore his two broken legs to full health). But we were so stunned by RJ's Milan production, which I ended up using the most when it came to playing full scenes on DVD, that I asked if he'd be willing to talk about it.
Richard always declares that these things were too long ago to remember much, but then he goes and delivers fascinating and unexpected takes with great vividness. He was especially good (and funny) on the disjunct between music and text: 'part of my affection for it is this very extraordinary, eerie and incredibly memorable music combined with this Listen-With-Mother, Ealing vowel text, and I like that disparity very much'.
Responding to Mark's comment about Grimes being 'bulletproof', he declared that 'there are certain pieces where you can have your day in the sun as a director - one is Jenůfa, another is Grimes'.
So far he's only directed it once, but would be up for another shot (which, given his capacity for re-imagining, would probably be very different). I just don't think there could a more intense and upsetting experience than what he and his choreography Sarah Fahie get out of the Teatro alla Scala forces and the principals: all the more remarkable given the chorus's threat to walk out at one stage (or perhaps because of it: needless to say Jones enjoyed facing an angry mob).
The two leading performances are devastating. John Graham Hall may not have the tonal beauty of a Pears or a Clayton, but like Langridge's, his is a Grimes on the edge from the start.
It's the only time I've seen the Apprentice played by a teenager (Francesco Malvuccio, who spoke no English, but as Richard says, that may have been an advantage). So there's a boy who can stand up for himself a bit, but is still physically dominated by the abuser.
The biggest rethink is the role of Ellen Orford. Jones believes there are no good people at all in Grimes, and she's horribly deluded, an ex-cultist who never notices what's really going on. That doesn't stop us feeling pity for her as she falls apart.
Susan Gritton sings and acts better than any other Ellen I've seen. Wigglesworth conducted her too, and advised me to get her along. By which time, alas, it was too late in the course and she was taken up with performances on the weekend we might have spoken. But we had a splendid email exchange.
I was also hoping for another appearance from the supremely eloquent Robin Ticciati, who conducts the La Scala production magnificently, and who was looking forward to telling some memorable stories. But he was taken into hospital to be operated on for a kidney stone, so that was not to be ditto Felicity Palmer, who gives an interesting Auntie, but declared it wasn't a role she felt close to. No matter; we watched so much of the film, and I urge you to do so if you think a Grimes can't be more intense than the Royal Opera one. For me this is the greatest Grimes, while Langridge is the greatest Grimes. Get hold of the Arthaus Musik DVD of Albery's ENO production too, if you can.
These, for me, are benchmarks, and yet there was so much new and perceptive in the latest comer. I just didn't come away from it wrung out. To me it seemed that Clayton was a truly great singer who acted well, not a born singer-actor. But then RJ, who hadn't seen the production at the time of our conversation, reminded me of his astonishing delivery in the Royal Opera 4/4 staging of H K Gruber's Frankenstein!!!, and yes, that did make me think it was the director's job to bring out the best in him. I think the RO should bring back the film complete now that a star is truly born, but this minute is good enough to show you the audacity, weirdness and agility.

Very interesting and comprehensive. Poor nick spense. How did he break 2 legs? Most incontinent for him.he is a fine singer.rgank you
For me the orchestral music in Peter Grimes is its core.
Fell downstairs at the airport right at the beginning of the year, if I remember right. Yes, he is remarkable. And in a sense the orchestral music IS at the core - the Passacalia right in the centre of the opera is the deepest part of it. But the vocal writing is also amazing and, as Mark Wigglesworth pointed out, Britten is such a master of timing that he would (in MW's opinion) have made a very fine actor.
Re timing he was also an excellent accompanist open and eeady to all the nuances of a singer
Many if your readers are not responding.strange as your blogs are so interesting.
I've long given up expecting more than a handful of responses. As a naItural 'reactor' I do find it odd - especially so on Twitter now that, having joined last week after giving up on LinkedIn, I see how easy it is to comment or even to just like something. My musical colleagues mostly don't - they're all on transmit. Heigh ho.
I'm halfway to agreeing with Jones.
Ellen does have a lot to answer for.
Hobson would not have brought the second boy without her intervention.
And it was her plan just as much as Grimes's to make his fortune by solo fishing which required the exploitation of an apprentice in the first place.
While Boles rails against the apprentice system.
Too many productions seem to play down the fact that TWO BOYS DIED.
Though the second death is completely arbitrary. A structural weakness.
Still we enjoyed the ROH production a great deal.
Have you seen the Jones production on DVD? I keep having to say that THIS will show you what unremitting intensity and dramatic truth are all about in Grimes. And Sue Gritton's performance is the most powerful in the role of Ellen that I've ever seen.
I too enjoyed the Warner production a great deal. I don't know that it played down the deaths of the boys, though it should always be clear that Grimes is not a murderer, just an abuser and a dangerous individual whose actions lead to the deaths of the boys. And the second apprentice's death isn't entirely arbitrary: the boy is in extreme distress having been knocked about yet again by his master, and presumably doesn't take care - or hasn't even been told that the cliff has collapsed outside the hut. In several productions, Grimes has his hand and lets go of it at the knock on the door.

I was looking forward to the Peter Grimes broadcast this Saturday after hearing an interview about it recently although I can't remember quite where. Still am, as I'm not at all familiar enough with it to have any firm opinions about the merits of different productions, apart from the sea interludes which are often broadcast and stop me in my tracks every time! I do remember that the production attempts to show the poverty and harshness of the community it's set in, suggesting perhaps that the characters are driven to act in the way they do.
Is that the screening that's been postponed? Or a Radio 3 broadcast? Not got time to check right now with limited internet access here by the shores of the Irish Sea. But I do urge you to get hold of the DVD of Jones's La Scala production - truly astounding.
Yes it's a recording of the Deborah Warner production on R3 this Saturday! Hope you're enjoying Dublin and environs, not to mention the guinness.
It should sound wonderful, and the sentimental softenings which IMO mar the production won't be seen. And thanks, it's blissful weather hear in Dalkey, and we did a good cliff walk around Bray Head yesterday - all an unbelievable half an hour on the Dart train from the city centre.

The kit fox is a small canid found in arid and desert habitats in the USA and Mexico. Prohesperocyon probably had slightly longer limbs than its predecessors, and also had parallel and closely touching toes which differ markedly from the splayed arrangements of the digits in bears. Even though the wild population breeds on its own, ... Luckily, though, most canine species appear to be relatively stable for now. Inbreeding with feral domestic dogs has caused the number of 'pure' dingoes to decline. [12], Around 9–10 mya during the Late Miocene, the Canis, Urocyon, and Vulpes genera expanded from southwestern North America, where the canine radiation began. "Interdisciplinary investigations of the late glacial double burial from Bonn-Oberkassel". The chief features which identify it as a canid include the loss of the upper third molar (part of a trend toward a more shearing bite), and the structure of the middle ear which has an enlarged bulla (the hollow bony structure protecting the delicate parts of the ear). Wild, non-feral dog species are fascinating and sometimes mysterious creatures, offering a treasure trove of surprising facts to naturalists. [57] Canids such as the dhole are now endangered in the wild because of persecution, habitat loss, a depletion of ungulate prey species and transmission of diseases from domestic dogs. Its conservation status is Near Threatened. The swift fox lives in the prairie grasslands of the Great Plains region of the United States and parts of southern Canada. The Bengal Fox is a small wild dog found only on the Indian subcontinent. They are mostly social animals, living together in family units or small groups and behaving cooperatively. Fossil history of the terrestrial carnivora. The species mainly inhabits the savannas of the Cerrado, a large ecoregion in central Brazil. Adversaria zoological. Scientists have discovered a new species of wild dog by analyzing the DNA of jackals in Europe and Africa. lepophagus. It is descended from the gray fox, which inhabits the mainland.

[32], A study of the estimated bite force at the canine teeth of a large sample of living and fossil mammalian predators, when adjusted for their body mass, found that for placental mammals the bite force at the canines was greatest in the extinct dire wolf (163), followed among the modern canids by the four hypercarnivores that often prey on animals larger than themselves: the African wild dog (142), the gray wolf (136), the dhole (112), and the dingo (108).

(It's completely free, you can unsubscribe at any time, and we'll never share your details.). The evolutionary relationships between the species have been studied in the past using morphological approaches, but more recently, molecular studies have enabled the investigation of phylogenetics relationships. The Gray Fox is one of the few canids able to climb trees, and is the only American canid able to do so. 1, By the Oligocene, all three subfamilies of canids (Hesperocyoninae, Borophaginae, and Caninae) had appeared in the fossil records of North America. The Cozumel fox is a small canid related to the gray fox and island fox. Small and medium-sized canids mostly have a gestation period of 50 to 60 days, while larger species average 60 to 65 days. No two are alike. This is a list of canines ordered alphabetically by It … The species was once thought to inhabit Africa, but those animals are now considered to be a separate species: the African golden wolf. [10], The canid family soon subdivided into three subfamilies, each of which diverged during the Eocene: Hesperocyoninae (about 39.74–15 Mya), Borophaginae (about 34–2 Mya), and Caninae (about 34–0 Mya).

An excellent climber, the species uses its long, bushy tail for balance. [41], The size of a litter varies, with from one to 16 or more pups being born. It may have been more of a scavenger than a hunter; its molars appear to be adapted for crushing bones and it may have gone extinct as a result of the extinction of the large herbivorous animals on whose carcasses it relied. Canid Species Accounts. Like the grey fox, it is one of the few canids that climbs trees. ), Caninae (all modern canids and extinct relatives), The Canidae today includes a diverse group of some 34 species ranging in size from the maned wolf with its long limbs to the short-legged bush dog. The African golden wolf is found in north and northeast Africa. The main threat to the endangered Darwin's Fox comes from domestic dogs, which attack the wild species and also spread disease. This adaptable member of the dog family is able to live in a wide range of habitats, from prairies to forests. Other families in this group include the cat family (felidae), the bear family (Ursidae), and the seal families (Otariidae, Phocidae and Odobenidae). Individuals living by floodplains are known to search for crabs in the mud; a habit after which the species is named. These branches led to the borophagine and canine radiations. 35 species of wild dogs are currently recognized. The raccoon dog, as its name suggests, resembles a raccoon, with its wide furry face and short, squat body. This is because research into dog classification is ongoing. Weighing between 4.5 and 7.7 kg (10 and 17 lb), the crab-eating fox is significantly smaller than a medium-sized domestic dog. The red wolf is a large canid found in the southeastern United States. Other canids include dogs, wolves, coyotes, foxes, jackals and dingoes. It raises its tail when excited. Countries in which the species is present include Egypt, Algeria and Ethiopia.

Named after the stripe that runs along either side of its body, the side-striped jackal is a mid-sized canid found across much of sub-Saharan Africa (the region south of the Sahara Desert). Originally found in East Asia, the raccoon dog was introduced to western Russia in the early 20th century in order that its fur may be harvested. It hunts a wide range of small animals, including rabbits, kangaroos, rats and birds. In some species, genetic divergence has been suppressed by the high level of gene flow between different populations and where the species have hybridized, large hybrid zones exist. It is unique in having only 40 teeth rather tan the normal 42 of other canine species. "Wolves: The great travelers of evolution". [1]:p6, The cat-like feliformia and dog-like caniforms emerged within the Carnivoramorpha around 45–42 Mya (million years ago). The African wild dog is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List (source).

The Dhole is a social animal, living in packs of around twelve, but sometimes forming larger groups of thirty to forty animals. The Pampas fox, being a member of the South American genus Lycalopex, is a 'zorro', or 'false fox', rather than a 'true fox' of genus Vulpes. Animals that today are regarded as being subspecies may in the future be regarded as being separate species (and vice versa). This pale, yellow-grey fox is found in forests, grasslands and deserts in Ecuador and Peru. and the bat-eared fox has three or four upper molars and four lower ones. Today, some authorities consider the Pampas fox and the South American gray fox to be the same species.

Around 0.8 Mya, Canis ambrusteri emerged in North America. They have five toes on their front feet and four toes on their hind feet, and they walk on their toes! Up to 38 subspecies of wolf have been identified. Humans benefited from the canid's loyalty, cooperation, teamwork, alertness and tracking abilities, while the wolf may have benefited from the use of weapons to tackle larger prey and the sharing of food. It is common throughout its range and rated Least Concern by the IUCN. It is a mid-sized fox, weighing between 1.6 and 3.2 kg (3.5 and 7.1 lb). The Cape fox lives in grasslands and semi-desert scrub. The species uses its large ears to locate termites, which make up as much as 80% of its diet. Canine - Canine - Importance to humans: The domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris) is undoubtedly the canine of the greatest economic significance, particularly in Western societies, because of its importance as a pet. In the history of the carnivores, the family Canidae is represented by the two extinct subfamilies designated as Hesperocyoninae and Borophaginae, and the extant subfamily Caninae. Many swift foxes mate for life; those that don't stay with their partners for the whole breeding season. It is the only member of the dog family with furry foot pads. This distinctive, sandy-gold-colored canid is the largest predator in Australia. It is found in Angola, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. [17] MtDNA studies have shown that there are at least four extant C. lupus lineages. With a total population of between 150-200 of the painted dog species Hwange National Park boosts a large number of these endangered species scientifically known as lycaon pitcus meaning something like, "painted wolf-like." They belong to the dog family, Canidae, which also includes all extinct dog species. Despite this, only between 20 and 30 adult red wolves exist in the wild. Its tail is at least half the length of its combined head and body length, and has a distinctive black tip. The body forms of canids are similar, typically having long muzzles, upright ears, teeth adapted for cracking bones and slicing flesh, long legs, and bushy tails. Successful conservation and re-introduction programs have seen the species' population bounce back. It hunts at night, preying on a variety of small vertebrates and insects. Dholes are Endangered, mainly to habitat loss. Canidae is one of several animal families that belong to the order Carnivora. It was probably the first wild animal to be domesticated, and dogs have been found associated with Neolithic sites dating back more than 10,000 years. [28] Young canids are born blind, with their eyes opening a few weeks after birth. Dholes resemble members of the genus Canis (Domestic Dogs, Grey Wolves), but have fox-like reddish fur and bushy tails.

Four of the household, in England, have found a new furry friend after a how to write a letter to their next-door neighbors, who have their best interest in the few "good" dog, and the provision of health care for your pet. To their surprise, the puppy, wrote a letter in response to the roomies (with a little help from its owner), and it was agreed that they would like to be friends as well. The letters with the back-and-forth banter has since been shared on Twitter, which is where the sweet saga has become viral, with more than half a million likes.
On Sunday, the four young men living in Bristol to finally meet up with All the Ticks, the puppy, and her owners, Sarah and and now, according to BuzzFeed News. The roommates ventured to their next-door neighbors' house to hang out with the 2-year-old rescue dog, and after that to match the pet and the parents through a letter.

They think of themselves as a group of engineers who have recently moved to the area, and the men started with the remark that they "observed a friend to the us, out of the window when we come home from work," and it was the pooch looked up, it was "the good-est guy/girl is out there."
"If you ever need someone to run with it, and we will be happy to do so. If you're ever bored, (I know you never will, but we can dream), we are more than happy to look after him/her / it," the letter read.
"Let's hope this is not too much, but we, the landlord is not permitted to, and we all grew up with animals. The adult life has been a struggle, and without one of them," she concluded with a signing ceremony on the pitch, "the guys from the number 23."

The pictures of the characters that are to be shared by the roommate of Jack McCrossan on Twitter have gone viral, in a post that has since received more than 500,000 'likes', 111,000 shares, and thousands and thousands of comments.
Many users have agreed it was the most "healthy" of news they'd heard in quite a while, and while some gushed about the dogs name, and asked for answers about what happened after that.
At the weekend, the roomies met up with Sarah, Chris, and the Labrador retriever and German Shepherd mix. McCrossan said that all of them are along swimmingly.
Meeting Stevie was amazing!!! She was at least as energized as described above. We have to take her out for a walk, and she couldn't stop it!" he told BuzzFeed.
Right now, the Bristol, the neighbours plan to have a group of people to chat to, so that the boys can walk the dog if need be, BuzzFeed reports.

"In an age where people don't really know or talk to their neighbors, it was a lot of fun to make, they have to break down that barrier," Sarah said, on the immediate, the unexpected, kind gesture.

This event marks National Harp Day, an initiative led by Harp Ireland to promote Irish harp practice. There will be a number of performances and workshops throughout the island of Ireland this Saturday and the event at Magee campus will feature a performance and workshop by Lauren O'Neill (PhD researcher: Music and Irish) alongside Gráinne Meyer, a classically trained harpist, and Aoibheann Devlin, an early Irish harper.
The event will commence at 12.15 with two workshops; one focusing on the harp as an accompaniment instrument in Irish traditional music and the other focusing on improving technique. Subsequent to the workshops, Aoibheann Devlin will host a 'Try the wires' session, where students can try out the early Irish harp and the music associated with it.
The event will close with a short performance, open to the public, featuring Gráinne Meyer on concert harp, Aoibheann Devlin on early Irish harp and Eugene McKenna and I on fiddle and traditional harp.
The event will be held in the Recital Room and café space in the Foyle Arts Building.

I have always been fascinated by picture books for children that contain images where you can look for hidden objects. In my drawings I try to create fantasy worlds that you can imagine being in yourself. When I started to include mathematical objects and concepts I decided to avoid using compass and ruler as much as possible. Polyhedra are largely hand drawn to obtain a more lively effect, preserving the atmosphere of a children's book. So these are mathematical drawings not in their geometrical precision, but in theme.
My dream is to make series of drawings that exhibit mathematical concepts in a picturebook format. Maybe it will appeal to the child in mathematicians of all ages. And to the mathematician in children of all ages.
The drawing depicts a pentagonal table mountain, joined by five bridges to five triangular mountains, together forming a pentagram. A large number five forms the main street pattern of the town on top. Many buildings are based on pentagonal forms, hinting towards anthroposophical architecture. The five platonic solids are large monuments on the points of the pentagram. On a lower level decagram the concept of duality is illustrated by a second appearance of the five solids.
This drawing is more of a puzzle page, and contains many references to the dodecahedron and the number 12. The large building based on a regular dodecahedron is obvious. Other references include some monuments that are irregular dodecahedra, the number 12 as a ground plan for buildings, or as the open space between buildings. There is also a very stylized appearance of the Schlälfli symbol for the dodecadron.


Portland State has hired Barret Peery as the next men's basketball coach, The Oregonian/OregonLive has learned. The sides agreed in principle on Friday and the deal was finalized over the weekend.
UPDATE: Listen to Peery's interview on the Bald Faced Truth radio show today on 102.9-FM and 750-AM.
Peery has a reputation as a great recruiter, has deep ties to the community college ranks and comes with successful head coaching experience. He was also a Vikings assistant on coach Heath Schroyer's staff in 2002-03.
Peery served as an assistant on Herb Sendek's staff at Santa Clara last season, and prior to that coached with Sendek at Arizona State. Northwest Christian head coach Luke Jackson also interviewed with Portland State, per multiple sources.
Portland State parted ways with coach Tyler Geving in March. In eight seasons, Geving was 112-133 and reached the Big Sky Tournament semifinals three times.
Peery was the head coach of two of the nation's top community college programs -- Indian Hills Community College (Iowa) and College of Southern Idaho. He took Indian Hills to the national title game in 2013-14 and posted 93 wins in three seasons there. He was also the community college head coach at College of Southern Idaho, where Peery won three straight Scenic West Athletic Conference championships.
The $50 million Viking Pavilion, a multi-purpose venue for Portland State and OHSU, is currently under construction. It will seat 5,000 and be the site of Vikings home basketball games. It should boost interest in the Big Sky Conference job.
Peery was also an assistant at Utah and an assistant at Southern Utah, Snow College and Utah Valley.

Monroe Street reconstruction features new works designed to make better public spaces
by Erica Krug
';el.html(''+l+''+'');})})})(jQuery);
Carolyn Fath
Marcia Yapp's mural "Passing Through Time," on the Southwest Commuter Bike Path.
Before the city of Madison began tearing apart Monroe Street, city planners knew they had to tackle the obvious elements of reconstruction: sidewalks, gutters, underground utilities. They needed to think about traffic signals for the busy thoroughfare, home to many local businesses, to make the area safer for pedestrians and bikers.
But as all this was underway, Karin Wolf and Ben Zellers, both with the Department of Planning and Development, were tasked with another component of the project: public art.
Wolf, Madison's art administrator, says the city has had the goal of incorporating art into major reconstruction projects since the 1970s. "The community values art and wants a well-designed city," Wolf says. "And public art is good for tourism, attracting talent and community health."
Wolf and Zellers focused on two areas that could be redesigned to create more desirable public spaces. "We want to give people a reason to be there," Zellers says. The first is the triangular-shaped "Crazylegs Plaza," across from Camp Randall Stadium and bordered by Regent and Monroe Streets and Breese Terrace. The other area is the official entrance to Wingra Park near Commonwealth Avenue. Wolf and Zellers asked design teams to submit proposals with public art components to redesign those spaces.
Last year the city council passed an ordinance that requires the city, starting in 2020, to designate funds for public art in city capital projects that exceed $5 million. But until then, city planners have to be creative to keep art in the mix. "With new projects we think 'what resources do we already have, and what opportunities do we have to fit art in within our budget?'" Wolf says.
One cost-effective project includes poetry; the construction crews are stamping 14 poems, including one by Fabu, a former Madison poet laureate, into Monroe Street's new sidewalks. The city also offered design teams the opportunity to incorporate two pieces it already had the rights to into their design proposals — "Anchorlily" by artist William Turnbull and "Badger" by Harry Whitehorse.
Ken Saiki and Julia Schilling of Saiki Design, the landscape architecture design firm whose proposal was chosen by the city, included both sculptures in their design plans. Saiki and Schilling also brought on local mosaic artist Marcia Yapp to their design team. "You can put mosaics anywhere — on the walls, the ground — so she gave us flexibility in how her art would be incorporated," says Saiki.
After several meetings with neighbors, city staff and business owners, Saiki says they identified priorities for each space, including a rain garden in the Crazylegs Plaza intended to collect runoff. Yapp also met with community members before coming up with custom designs for mosaic murals. For the Wingra Park mosaic, Yapp says neighbors didn't want anything to block the view of the lake and they wanted something that was "subtle, warm and calming."
On a morning in early October, Yapp is working feverishly on the Wingra Park mural in her basement workshop in her north side home; she wants to complete the piece in time for installation before the end of the month. Yapp works with smalti glass, hand-cut glass tiles that were originally developed for mosaics during the Byzantine era. The tiles, says Yapp, are challenging to work with but "look great from a distance, which is the best way to view mosaic." The mosaic will be placed on a low wall next to Turnbull's "Anchorlily," and serve as a gateway to the park.
Yapp's other mural, "Passing Through Time," was installed in Crazylegs Plaza in time for the Monroe Street Festival on Sept. 22. Placed on a wall that winds along the Southwest Commuter Bike Path, Yapp says the mural represents the confluence of neighborhoods and also the idea of journey, as Monroe Street was once a Ho-Chunk trail.
Crazylegs Plaza will also be the future home of "Badger," a bronze statue designed by Whitehorse before he passed away in November 2017. Whitehorse, a member of the Ho-Chunk Bear Clan, was an accomplished multimedia artist and longtime Monona resident. Deb Whitehorse, Harry's wife, says the statue is a gift from her family. "Harry's goal was to have people touch his art," Deb says. "He wanted to have people, especially kids, interact with it." The sculpture is currently being cast at Vanguard Sculpture in Milwaukee and is set to be installed in spring 2019.
Standing in Crazylegs Plaza after the mural dedication on Sept. 22, Saiki stood away from the gathering and admired Yapp's mosaic. "It's a tribute to the city of Madison that they put high value on public art," Saiki says. "With big projects like these, the cost of art is insignificant, but the art is the thing that people will remember."

The iPad has a color display and a cool page turning effect, but some think the Kindle Paperwhite is easier on the eyes.
Has the iPad become the "Kindle killer" that some predicted? It's hard to say. The iPad has significantly eaten into sales of both the Amazon Kindle and Barnes and Noble's nook. Both Amazon and B&N have drastically cut prices in the wake of the iPad's introduction.
Before going any further, let's acknowledge that we're comparing apples and oranges: The iPad is a multi-function device, and reading electronic books is only one of the many tasks it can do (similar to the Kindle Fire). Dedicated eReaders were designed for only one function and appeal to a different kind of customer. People who buy the Kindle, the nook and similar wireless devices are readers, first and foremost. They're looking for the feeling of reading a book combined with the conveniences bundled into eBook readers — the ability to order books and magazines through their machines and to store volumes in a device that weighs less than a pound.
Paperwhite Built in light(with or without 3G) measures 6 inches diagonally. 9.7-inch Retina LED backlit display.
lock slide switch, and a 3.5mm headset jack.
Amazon Kindle Store. Books are in proprietary Kindle format. Apple iBooks store. Books are in the open ePub format.
LTE: $629 for 16GB, $729 for 32GB, and $829 for 64GB. LTE data plan: $30/mo.
The biggest difference between these dedicated readers and the iPad is the display. The Kindle, nook and other eBook readers were created to give users a realistic experience. They use a technology known as E-Ink, which is designed to simulate printing on paper-like pages. The Paperwhite uses a new type of display which is easy on the eyes. The iPad, on the other hand, uses a Retina display, close to the same kind of LED display as a regular computer. It provides a clear, backlit view of a page that is visible from different angles. Some users complain of eyestrain after viewing LED screens for long periods of time, while those who use the E-ink system tend to be able to read more without such complaints.
As the world's largest bookseller, Amazon's Kindle store offers Millions of electronic books, along with digital issues of newspapers and magazines. The average price of an Amazon eBook is around $10.
The Kindle, nook and iPad all have systems to browse and buy reading material from within the device. On the iPad, this requires downloading the iBooks app, which features graphical icons for ordering books online. Unlike the Kindle, Apple does not offer desktop and smart phone versions of its reader… so an iBook can only be read on an iPad.
Adding up the pros and cons, the iPad appears to be on fairly equal footing with the major eBook readers and is a far better deal based on all of the additional functions it offers. Our guess is that a few people who want a device primarily for reading will continue to be partial to dedicated eReaders, while more casual readers will go for the iPad and the extra media it provides. The question is whether serious readers are willing to pony up another $250 or so for the multi-functionality of the iPad — and it seems like many are doing just that.

The Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) adopts Cloud Layers Unified By Binormals (CLUBB) scheme and an updated microphysics (MG2) scheme for a more unified treatment of cloud processes. This makes interactions between parameterizations tighter and more explicit. In this study, a cloudy planetary boundary layer (PBL) oscillation related to interaction between CLUBB and MG2 is identified in CAM. This highlights the need for consistency between the coupled subgrid processes in climate model development. This oscillation occurs most often in the marine cumulus cloud regime. The oscillation occurs only if the modeled PBL is strongly decoupled and precipitation evaporates below the cloud. Two aspects of the parameterized coupling assumptions between CLUBB and MG2 schemes cause the oscillation: (1) a parameterized relationship between rain evaporation and CLUBB's subgrid spatial variance of moisture and heat that induces an extra cooling in the lower PBL and (2) rain evaporation which happens at a too low an altitude because of the precipitation fraction parameterization in MG2. Either one of these two conditions can overly stabilize the PBL and reduce the upward moisture transport to the cloud layer so that the PBL collapses. Global simulations prove that turning off the evaporation-variance coupling and improving the precipitation fraction parameterization effectively reduces the cloudy PBL oscillation in marine cumulus clouds. By evaluating the causes of the oscillation in CAM, we have identified the PBL processes that should be examined in models having similar oscillations. This study may draw the attention of the modeling and observational communities to the issue of coupling between parameterized physical processes.

Posted on November 24, 2014 January 18, 2017 Canada, Indian Army, Sainik School
Cross Country Race
The first cross-country race (Marathon in North America), I ran was as a Grade 5 student at Sainik (Military) School Amaravathinagar. It was a 5 km run along the base of the Western Ghats on the North side of the school. With every passing year, the distance increased. with it the difficulty. On joining the National Defence Academy (NDA), the cross country race became a ritual in every semester (half-year) and thus I ran six races in three years of about 14 km. During the first 10 years of service in the Army, I ran seven races. On reaching Canada, I ran two such races, in support of charitable causes.
Running a marathon is one of the largest physical challenges you can set, often it is more of a mental challenge – the mental strength to complete the race despite the panting, tiredness and pains. It results in an accomplishment every time, irrespective of your age. It does not matter even if you are the last, you are part of an elite club of people that have completed the race successfully.
At the NDA, the cross country race was more of a team event. The Squadron which won the trophy every semester claimed more bragging rights than the cadet who came first or second. It was a matter of pride for the cadets that their Squadron did well and hence every cadet put their heart, soul and body into doing well at the race.
The practice for the race at NDA would begin nearly a month prior with all cadets running a full race almost every evening and morning on Sundays and holidays. The final race would generally be on a Sunday morning, starting at the famous Glider Dome and ending there. One has witnessed cadets completing the race despite physical injuries – a cadet finished the race after he fractured his leg halfway. There has been many cadets running the race with fever. All to ensure that they do not bring in negative points for their Squadron and let the team down.
In 1987, our Regiment was located in Gurgaon near Delhi and we formed part of the Brigade stationed at Meerut – about 50 km from Delhi. Cross country race was a closely contested competition among the regiments and our unit had the rare distinction of winning it for the previous five years. 1987 was the final year at Gurgaon as the unit had received its move order to the Kashmir Valley.
Our Commanding Officer, Colonel Mahaveer Singh called Late Captain Pratap Singh, Maha Vir Chakra and self to his office in March 1987 and briefed us that we had to win the cross country competition for him. We both were Captains then and by virtue of being the senior, I became the team captain. Among young subalterns, one was away on a training course and the other admitted in the Military Hospital.
The team to be fielded for the competition was to consist of one officer and 15 soldiers. We started practicing for the race – two officers and 20 soldiers. Every morning at 5 we would be picked up from our residence and the team used to be dropped off about 20 km from the regimental location. Now everyone had no option but to run back to the regiment. The faster one did it, lesser the agony.
After a month's practice, we decided to move to Meerut a week before the race to carry out a few practices there. The race was scheduled for 11 April, Saturday to commence at 6 AM. The day we had planned to leave, Pratap's mother took seriously ill and he had to hospitalise her and take care of her. I told Pratap to reach Meerut by Thursday evening the latest.
As Pratap had not practiced for the last week, I had made up my mind to run the race. Pratap landed up in Meerut on his motorbike on Thursday evening. On Friday I showed him the route and told him to be stand-by.
In the evening we reached the Officers' Mess for dinner and all the young officers participating in the race were there. Seeing the senior Captains set to run the race, Lieutenant Atul Mishra wanted to know as to who amongst us was running the race. Pratap said that the person who woke up first would wake up the other and the latter would run the race. Everyone believed it as the same was narrated by Atul after a decade.
After the race, I received the trophy from the Brigade Commander and after a few minutes there was Pratap with his motorbike asking me to get on to the pillion. We rode off and as I was too tired, I hugged on to him and slept off. I woke up only on reaching our regimental location after over an hour of drive.
We handed over the trophy to Colonel Mahaveer, who appreciated us for the efforts and wanted to know where the rest of the team was. Pratap said "now do not come out with your clichéd question as to who is commanding the unit, I have ordered them to relax at Meerut for the next two days and also to visit the Nauchandi Mela", Colonel Mahaveer passed his unique smile as a sign of approval for Pratap's actions.
Nauchandi Mela is held every year at Meerut in April-May. It is a rare symbol of communal harmony with Hindu and Muslim shrines – Nauchandi temple and the Dargah (shrine) of Muslim saint, Bala Mian. Visitors pay obeisance at both the shrines irrespective of the religion they belong to. The mela, which originally brought sellers and buyers of utensils and domestic animals together, now includes various kinds of goods, entertainment and food.
Colonel Mahaveer had a knack of delegation and had immense trust in all of us. He always encouraged the young officers to be decisive and whenever we goofed it up, he always held our hands and took the responsibility for our actions.

Nice post. While running the cross country race in Sainik, the button in my shorts broke off and I had to run clutching my shorts with both hands! In 2010, 35 years after leaving the school, I ran the Mumbai half marathon for a charitable cause. ( rural children education) . I had to train for over 3 months on the Juhu beach. It was wonderful feeling to complete the course in little over 2 hours.
