PRCA
By: Scott Breen
(Editor's note: PRCA release)
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The PRCA is proud to announce today the introduction of the Jr. Rodeo Association to provide youth, ages 8-19, an opportunity to learn and participate in core rodeo events. The Jr. National Finals Rodeo, title sponsored by The Cowboy Channel, will make its debut March 3-7 in Texas at Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth with the finals to be held on March 7 at AT&T Stadium, in Arlington, Texas.
Jr. Rodeo, the new youth initiative for the PRCA, is created to identify the next generation of contestants through education, fundamental development and a one-of-a-kind competition series. The online membership portal opens today, and youth may join by visiting www.jrrodeo.org. The first 1,000 Jr. Rodeo members to join will receive a gift card from National Roper's Supply.
"The Jr. Rodeo initiative is important for the future growth of rodeo, and it is important for us to develop the future stars properly," PRCA CEO George Taylor said. "Our new association is fundamentally built to embrace and grow youth participation in rodeo events. All rodeo starts here, and Jr. Rodeo is responsible for providing opportunities for kids to learn, improve and compete alongside the best cowboys in the best arenas like AT&T Stadium."
Members will be able to select a membership level that best suits their interest. Jr. Rodeo members will have a number of benefits available that include: membership card; competition opportunities; secondary accident insurance; free registration for Jr. Rodeo Camps; ProRodeo Sports News online subscription; and more.
The Cowboy Channel Jr. NFR returns in 2020 and will feature the best-of-the-best contestants from the major youth rodeo events. Jr. Rodeo will feature the Junior American and Patriot events as one of the major qualification pathways. The Junior American and all of its qualifiers are being folded into The Cowboy Channel Jr. NFR, effective immediately. Jr. Rodeo will continue to attract other youth rodeo events as potential qualifiers.
For 2020, The Cowboy Channel Jr. NFR includes over 1,900 contestants eligible for a gold buckle. The top place winners from the events below also qualify in 2020 for The Cowboy Channel Jr. NFR and must be Jr. Rodeo members.
· 2019 National High School Rodeo Association Finals
· 2019 Little Britches Rodeo Association Finals
· 2019 International Youth Finals Rodeo
· 2019 Junior World Finals
· 2019 Junior American
The Cowboy Channel Jr. NFR will guarantee at least $200,000 in added money. Jr. Rodeo's focus is on core rodeo events and will feature bareback riding, saddle bronc riding, bull riding, tie-down roping, steer wrestling, team roping (header/heeler), girl's breakaway roping and girl's barrel racing.
The Cowboy Channel will provide a year-long national television platform in support of Jr. Rodeo. The Cowboy Channel Jr. NFR is the only youth rodeo event on cable TV in 2020 and will be telecast exclusively on The Cowboy Channel which reaches 42 million homes.
"We are so proud to join forces with the PRCA to expand and grow the opportunities and exposure for youth rodeo," said Patrick Gottsch, Founder and President of The Cowboy Channel. "We are all in. Encouraging more young people and their families to participate and enjoy the sport of rodeo is a win for everyone. The Cowboy Chanel is here to promote, cover, and support the Jr. NFR all year long."
The Cowboy Channel Jr. NFR is a tournament-style format rodeo where qualifiers will compete in the long go-round with the top 15 contestants advancing to the semifinals. The championship round will be held at AT&T Stadium with the top 6 place winners competing prior to RFD-TV's The American. The winners in the timed events also advance to RFD-TV's The American Semi-Finals for a chance to win $1 million. The Jr. NFR will feature contestants between the ages of 14-19 who must still be in high school.
"The Cowboy Channel Jr. NFR is the showcase event for all of youth rodeo," said Anthony Bartkowski, PRCA Director of Athlete Development and Welfare. "We are proud to partner with The Cowboy Channel in hosting The Cowboy Channel Jr. NFR in one of the best sport stadiums. This participant experience and being able to compete alongside the best cowboys in the world is unrivaled."
Jr. Rodeo will continue to provide the popular Jr. Rodeo Camps program to members who are interested in learning about rodeo and further advancing their rodeo event techniques. National Finals Rodeo qualifiers typically serve as instructors at Jr. Rodeo Camps. The Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo will host the first 2020 Jr. Rodeo Camp on January 26.
Throughout 2020, Jr. Rodeo will work with individual PRCA Rodeos to showcase the sport to future cowboys and have an impact in identifying the next world champions. PRCA Rodeos will be able to qualify contestants directly from its rodeos for the 2021 The Cowboy Channel Jr. National Finals Rodeo.

The term angel eye again came from the BMW line of cars. Many of the modern BMW vehicles have an LED ring that circles the low and high beam lights. These LED rings are separate from the headlights themselves and really don't provide much as far as lighting the road. However, they do look pretty sweet. Many of the custom aftermarket projector headlights come with either one or two angel eyes depending on the size of the lens. Likewise, the term halo is referring to the same LED ring.

About Eric Kuznacic
Eric Kuznacic is a lifelong technology junkie who began experimenting with computers more than 30 years ago, after his parents purchased a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A. He found some BASIC programs in the back of a computing magazine and spent hours inputting and debugging the code to create very simple programs.
During his high school years he became enamored with the Internet via his family's Compuserv dial-up account. He chose to attend Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, largely because of its "Macintosh in Every Dorm Room" program. During college he taught himself to code HTML and CSS, and after graduation continued to dabble in freelance website design and IT consulting side projects.
In 2013, after several requests from friends and nonprofit organizations for assistance with their websites and online branding efforts, he realized others were willing to pay him for such services and Why the Fuss? Technical Solutions was born. He sees his business as a vehicle through which to provide services and training/education to small businesses, nonprofit organizations, independent musicians and anyone else in need of technical assistance.
Since founding WTF? in 2013, Mr. Kuznacic has amassed a long list of private-, public- and nonprofit clients throughout southern Wisconsin, northern Illinois and beyond. The firm specializes in WordPress website development and related training services. Kuznacic believes strongly in the power and dynamism found within the global WordPress community and supports its open-source mission.
My life, in bullet points
It's like a TL;DR version of me!
I was born and raised in Elkhorn, Wisconsin, but "came of age" in Des Moines, Iowa and consider it my hometown.
I now live in Janesville, Wisconsin, a town of which I knew little while growing up, but have come to appreciate since relocating in 2005.
I love my wife and my dog (R.I.P., 10/23/2018) more than I can describe in words. We make a pretty sweet family.
Career & professional life
My past jobs, in chronological order since graduating college, have been:
Street-team coordinator
Roadie/music marketer
Club doorman
Front-end website designer
Bartender (again)
Newspaper reporter and photographer
Newspaper associate editor
Business services rep for a workforce-development organization
Entrepreneur and small-business owner
I taught myself HTML and CSS during college in the mid-1990s. It is one of the best things I have ever done for myself as it at first provided a hobby and now has blossomed into a career.
I have been a WordPress devotee since 2010 and believe it to be one of the most-important and influential tools developed during the Internet Age.
I run a one-man website design/development company: Why The Fuss? Technical Solutions, founded on June 1, 2013.
Sports loyalties
Drake University is my alma mater, and I do my best to support them from afar.
I am a loyal Wisconsin Badger and have spent the past several years following the football and men's basketball teams.
Proud UW men's basketball season-ticket holder, 2012-present.
From my seat on Feb. 9, 2013, witnessed Ben Brust's half-court shot to tie (and UW's overtime win) over Michigan in what I consider to be the best game I have ever seen in person.
Witnessed the 2015 Final Four win over Kentucky (and loss to Duke) from section 127 of Lucas Oil Stadium.
Watched the unranked UW football team defeat then-No. 5 LSU at the Lambeau Field College Football Classic on Sept. 3, 2016, the first major college football game played in the historic NFL venue.
I am a lifelong baseball fanatic, living and dying with the Milwaukee Brewers. Still waiting for that World Series title …
Born-and-bred, tried-and-true, bleed-green-and-gold fan of the Green Bay Packers.
In the stands (and freezing cold!) for the "Al Harris Interception" playoff game against the Seattle Seahawks. This was the when Seattle QB Matt Hasselbeck declared to the world (via the ref's hot mic) after winning the coin toss, "We want the ball and we're gonna score." How'd that work out for ya, bud?
Moments of note from my past
In June 2012 I fell an estimated 40 to 50 feet down a cliff in La Jolla, CA and had to be airlifted out.
Broke my femur into three pieces, spider-fractured my right orbital bone, and was cut, scraped and bruised from head to toe.
But somehow I am here to tell the story. Read more about it.
My life-long love affair with music
I listen to music at every possible minute and involve music in my life in every possible way.
I worked in various positions in the music industry during college and in the years after. Among my various positions, I did everything from/to:
Work the door at a club.
Book and promote shows for local, regional, and national artists.
Lead local, regional, and national street teams for major-label recording artists.
Manage local and regional bands and artists.
Work as a label and artist liaison for a national street-marketing firm.
Receive a platinum record award from the RIAA for my work promoting an album.
All of this despite the fact that I don't play any instrument and can't sing on-key to save my life. Go figure.
Trivia and such
I can eat pizza and/or tacos every day for weeks on end and never once tire of them.
I am an ISTJ personality, which may help you better understand me.

You've heard it before and you'll hear it again -- drinking water is good for you in a whole bunch of ways, including improving digestion and clearing up your skin.
But for many people, getting enough water over the course of the day is a challenge. Maybe you're a slow drinker, or rarely get up from your desk -- which you should do anyway! Perhaps you don't like the taste of water or just forget about drinking it until it's 11 pm and you're two cocktails in.
We feel your pain which is why we've come up with this list of tips and tricks to incorporate more water into your day. Bonus: several of these ideas have nothing to do with drinking at all.
Here's the list … and let us know if you have any clever strategies of your own.
The trick to this is pouring yourself a glass of water before bed and then drinking it as soon as you get up. Even if the thought of pouring water down your throat right away feels overwhelming, try it for four days in a row and see if you don't start doing it automatically after that.
There's are plenty of apps out there to keep track of your water intake, if you like that kind of reminder (Daily Water Free, e.g., is a favourite). But another option is to set an alarm on your phone or calendar to remind you to drink every two hours or so.
Yes, that's right -- your caffeinated (or decaf, if you're so inclined) morning beverage also has plenty of water in it, so you can include that in your count. According to WebMD, their diuretic effects do not take away from also hydrating you.
There's no science here, just pure superficiality that somehow still works. If you have a nicer water bottle, you may just be more inclined to use it. We love. e.g., one glass option that holds one-quarter of your daily water intake in one go!
There are plenty of fruits and veggies that contain a fair amount of water, including cucumbers, iceberg lettuce, watermelon (obviously), strawberries, grapefruit, zucchini, radish and celery. Plus, of course, the many other nutrients this produce contains.
When you're bogged down at work, even the 20-foot walk to the kitchen can feel too far, so set yourself up for the day with a big bottle -- or even a pitcher -- in the morning so you can dip into it all day.
We know, you've heard enough about "infusing" your water to last you a lifetime. But it really does make it taste better -- and has the bonus effect of even more water, if you use some of those hydrating foods we mentioned. Some other good options: kiwi, lemon, strawberries or grapes.
No one's expecting you to give up other drinks entirely in lieu of water, either sugar-filled or alcoholic. Instead, make yourself a deal -- for every "other" kind of drink you have, drink a glass of water.
If you've gotten out of the habit of rinsing out your mouth after brushing your teeth, now's the time to start setting that glass by your sink again. A rinse, a refill, then a few gulps -- and like that, you're hydrated before bed.
We love this great idea from Instagram user FunFit_Ca.
Whether it's on Instagram with #watergoals or with a pal in the office, a bit of healthy competition never hurt anyone.
1: Aryeh Leib Lerner (Israel), May 27, 2015, 6:58 AM.
As for "X", once one has reached a certain age drinking a glass of water before bed obviates the need for a wake-up call. Who needs an alarm clock when you've got a bladder!

New Bedford Businesses to Consider Funding Improvement Projects [OPINION]
Barry Richard Published: April 7, 2021
Mary Serreze/Townsquare Media
Businesses in downtown New Bedford are being asked to consider a fee that would be used to make improvements to the downtown area. Councilor-at-Large Ian Abreu says the non-profit New City America, Incorporated, based in San Deigo, California, would like to establish what it calls Community Benefit Districts in New Bedford with downtown being the first such district.
Abreu says Community Benefit Districts exist in cities all across the nation. It is similar to the Community Preservation Act that is partially supported by New Bedford property owners.
Abreu says the proposal that has been floating around for about six years now, has the support of the Mitchell Administration. Businesses would commit to paying eight cents per square foot of property that they own into the city's general fund. The money would be used to maintain current infrastructure such as Custom House Square or to fund new improvement projects within the district.
Abreu says a panel of business owners would determine how the money would be spent out and not elected officials. At least 60 percent of business owners would have to sign on for the proposal to move to the next level. Abreu says if the program is successful downtown it can be used in business districts throughout the city.
What makes the program attractive is that businesses could fund upgrades and new projects within their own districts for a minimal contribution. With local government funds tight these days, it could be a worthwhile investment.
The New Bedford City Council is expected to conduct a hearing on the proposal later this month. It's a concept that is certainly worth listening to.

The SC-GSA (South Central Section of the Geological Society of America) heads to San Antonio, Texas March 13-14, with pre meeting field trips March 11-12. We look forward to presentations and posters that highlight many aspects of the geosciences. Presentations and posters to honor people whose research resulted in significant advances are especially welcome. In addition to the theme sessions listed below, there will also be discipline sessions and poster sessions. For more information on the conference, please visit the GSA Website.
The Unconventional Resources Technology Conference will be held Jul 24-26 in Austin Texas. "Submit your abstracts now and be a part of history by presenting at URTeC 2017. Your expert contribution and practical guidance will help promote and advance the exploration and production of global energy resources. Industry professionals, academics and students are invited to submit abstracts that relate to any of the URTeC 2017 themes listed."
The AAPG Foundation distributes over $260,000 in grant funds to petroleum/economic geology focuses theses. If your thesis research applies to petroleum, energy and mineral resources, or related environmental geology issues, you should start your application today. For more information, please visit the above link and our scholarships page.
Please read this great profile on Dr. Sumit Verma, our incoming Geophysics professor, by UTPB student newspaper, the Mesa Journal. Great things are coming for UTPB!
"The leap from theoretical learning to real world analysis of sustainable resource plays is huge. With a view to ensure that students taking this opportunity have all the support and commitment that they need from the industry, LMKR played its part by providing GeoGraphix and GVERSE Connect software to the University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB) for this year's IBA competition.
This partnership not only enabled the Geology Program at UTPB to take advantage of LMKR technology; but also the infrastructure that comes with LMKR's continued support and commitment to educational and research programs around the globe.
"It has become increasingly important that UTPB is connected to the industries that it serves. Such partnerships provide our students with the opportunity to operate in a professional and an intellectually challenging environment that puts them in "real world" situations and helps in enhancing their skills. This opportunity is especially appropriate for our students due to the association of hydrocarbon exploration to the welfare of the people of the Permian Basin" said Dr. Michael Zavada, Dean College of Arts and Sciences, University of Texas Permian Basin.
This is not the first time that we have donated our software in support of advancing education. LMKR strives to provide students with opportunities to learn in classrooms, conduct cutting edge research or participate in competitions like the AAPG Imperial Barrel Award. We will continue to do so in the future as well.
About AAPG Imperial Barrel Award: AAPG's Imperial Barrel Award Program (IBA) is an annual prospective basin evaluation competition for geoscience graduate students from universities around the world. University teams compete to win scholarship funds for their geoscience department and the international recognition that comes from competing or winning in the competition. The program is rigorous and contributes to AAPG's mission of promoting petroleum geoscience training and advancing the careers of geoscience students."

President Donald Trump recently has been advocating for a "Space Force." Though this invited criticism, the United States has shown a keen interest in the past deeming it as a move for self-defense and non-aggressive military activities. However, since this idea has been brought up, many observers have come up with various theories and strategies on how it can be made more useful.
The one most captivating claim is that the force could be used as a defense mechanism against asteroids in the earth's orbit.
In a report, produced on June 20, NASA along with state officials presented their plans for the next ten years, called the "The National Near-Earth Object Preparedness Strategy and Action Plan." In it, they elaborated on the idea of recognizing and detecting asteroids and defending the Earth from them.
Aaron Miles said, "One of the things that should be clear from the report is that the responsibility for responding, and preparing a response, is spread and shared throughout the U.S. government." Though he might not have mentioned the space force by its name, it is apparent that any defensive action against asteroids would involve some scale of military activity and technology in space.
NASA, along with the U.S officials have come up with three to provide guards against incoming asteroids. These include a "Gravity Tractor," which would essentially deviate the asteroid away from its original course. A "Kinetic Impactor" which would involve a spacecraft thrashing the asteroid off thoroughly. And the last, a nuclear strike on the incoming asteroid, which would vaporize the surface of the asteroid and push it off course.
However, NASA Planetary Defense Officer Lindley Johnson told reporters that all options mentioned above would need a minimum of 10 years before a potential asteroid strike, to be effective. He added that robots instead of astronauts could complete all the processes.
Trump has also passed orders to the Department of Defense to produce an additional branch in the U.S armed forces for the Space Force. As of now, the space force is majorly controlled by the Air Force currently in place.
NASA's tentative budget for 2019 goes up to $150 million to finance the development asteroid defense; Johnson told reporters.
Space Force: Why does the United States need one?


I'm a little behind on this post but I was without a laptop for the last week so better late than never! I had a girls holiday get-together about a week before Christmas. We decorated cookies, had a few drinks, and enjoyed each others company. These beautiful pictures were taken by the very talented Jessica Stephens. She took so many lovely photos of my friends throughout the night, I wish I could post them all on here. Be sure to check her out! Happy 2014!

Gunnar Wetterling, född 5 maj 1891 i Linneryd, Kronobergs län, död 25 december 1967 i Stockholm, var en svensk arkitekt. Han var stadsarkitekt i Gävle stad 1922–1932 och i Stockholm 1941–1954.

Biografi
Wetterling studerade vid Chalmers tekniska läroanstalt 1907–1912, vid Kungliga tekniska högskolan 1912–1913 och examinerades från Kungliga Konsthögskolan 1916. Han var parallellt med studierna anställd hos Ivar Tengbom 1913–1914 och hos Axel Brunskog i Linköping 1916. 1918 var han assistent vid Byggnadsstyrelsen och för att året därpå utnämnas till tjänstgörande arkitekt utom stat vid myndigheten.

Åren 1922–1932 var han stadsarkitekt i Gävle, och under hans tid uppfördes bland annat 1926 järnvägsbyggnaden Södra station efter hans ritningar. Huset utformades till en "stadsport" vänd mot Brunnsgatan. Byggnaden är sedan 1986 skyddad som byggnadsminne. I Gävle finns även Hotel Baltic som byggdes 1928 efter Wetterlings ritningar. Det var ett resandehotell för resenärer, som kom med tåg till centralstationen.

År 1932 kom Wetterling till Stockholm och blev till en början länsarkitekt i Stockholms län. 1940 efterträdde han Sigurd Westholm som stadsarkitekt. Åren 1941–1955 var han ordförande i Föreningen Sveriges Stadsarkitekter (FSS). Wetterling blev kommendör av Vasaorden 1954.

Bland större arbeten av Wetterling i Stockholmsregionen märks radhusområdet Kvarteret Drivbänken i Äppelviken, Bromma, som byggdes åren 1919–1920 efter engelska och tyska förebilder. Det var ett försök av stadens myndigheter att bygga prisbilliga radhuslängor, som omgav kvarteret från alla sidor. Radhus var inte populära på den tiden och det visade sig svårt att finna köpare till dem. Numera är husen i kvarteret Drivbänken kulturmärkta samt av riksintresse för kulturmiljövården. Radhusen tillhör Stockholms stadsmuseums högsta bevarandeklass, dvs har blå klassificering enligt museets kriterier.

Under sin tid som stadsarkitekt i Stockholm och medlem i Nedre Norrmalmsdelegationen fick Wetterling följa inledningen av Norrmalmsregleringen, där han försökte motverka den hårdhänta cityomvandlingen.

Gunnar Wetterling är gravsatt vid Norra krematoriet på Norra begravningsplatsen utanför Stockholm.

An American diet full of sugar is a significant cause of childhood obesity.
But it tastes so darned good.
The Centers for Disease Control report that 1 in 6 children between the ages of 2 and 19 is obese. Aside from the psychosocial aspects of being bullied or having no date for the 8th grade dance, there are significant health risks.
Like asthma, high cholesterol, high blood sugar, cardiovascular disease, Type 2 diabetes, and, as researcher Ashleigh May says, mental health problems.
Sugar induces tolerance, meaning the more you eat the more you need to feel satisfied. What's recommended for children's sugar intake is a mere 6-9 teaspoons a day while what's consumed is at least 4 times that, Halloween candy not included.
At some point, people can make choices about how their lives unfold; whether or not choices are made is harder to pull off than it is to suggest.
Most of us who are disabled, invisibly or not, wouldn't choose disability to be part of our lives. How horrifying is it that some obese people have that option and choose otherwise.
Although she was a chunk-of-a-baby, Kathe Skinner didn't grow up that way. A Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified Relationship Coach, Kathe specializes in working with couples, especially those when invisible disability is part of the relationship mix. She and husband David reside in Colorado with their two cats, Petey and Lucy. Lucy and David could stand to pass on a second helping of kibbles.

LP Chair Nicholas Sarwark says 2016 Libertarian candidate for president will offer new ideas; two old parties will run 'sequels and reboots'
By Staff on January 13, 2015 in News
Nicholas Sarwark,
LNC Chair
In response to news of Republicans Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney exploring the possibility of a run for the presidency in 2016, Libertarian National Committee Chair Nicholas Sarwark said on Press TV, "Like people say about Hollywood,…when it comes to the Republicans and the Democrats in U.S. politics, it's…nothing but sequels and reboots."
"In the 2016 election … the only candidate who has any new ideas about actually increasing people's freedoms and cutting government spending is going to be the Libertarian Party candidate, whoever that nominee ends up being."

Dreaming of a career in Cambodian aviation ? This may be the job for you. Applications accepted until 14 December 2018.
Granted, much of the 'requirements' are actually listed in the duties section.
"The ATC shall demonstrate ....."
It reads like a typical job description written by an *HR type, to me. No suggestion of any hiring of unlicensed controllers. Unlicensed operators/controllers don't slip through the net very often at all, let alone being actively recruited.
Yuck and Kammekor, you both really should try harder. Maybe provide some detail to your 'alarmist' conclusion?
No need for clarification I believe, it's actually really simple. If a license is a requirement for the job, even an *HR type will put it in the job description. And if it's not there, it's not a requirement.
The fact they might hire someone licensed in the end is not important at this time. What is important, is that the airport management takes the freedom to possibly hire someone NOT licensed. That by itself tells a story about the culture in that organization.
I wonder how they determined the age cutoff. Rules out anyone with any actual experience in the field.

The night before race day I was terrified. Terrified that I would fail, that I wasn't up to the challenge. Worried that I hadn't put in enough training time. Concerned that I didn't have what it would take to complete the race. I will never forget the triumph and relief I felt when I crossed that finish line. For the year of training and 15 hours of racing, I earned the designation of "Ironman". I also earned the ultimate reward: a stronger resilience muscle. I now put that muscle to use every day. As a mom, a business owner, and amateur endurance athlete, I have a lot of opportunities to practice flexing my resilience muscle.

Sprint hurdles in Eugene could see changing of the guard – IAAF Diamond League

While USA's two fastest 110m hurdlers ever have won the past two global titles, perhaps neither one is favoured to win at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene on 29-30 May, the third leg of the 2015 IAAF Diamond League.
Aries Merritt etched his name in sprint hurdles history in 2012. He ended a 16-year US Olympic gold medal drought by winning in London, and a month later became the first US athlete since Roger Kingdom in 1989 to claim the world 110m hurdles record, clocking 12.80 to win the Diamond Race trophy. His time lowered the world record by 0.07, the largest improvement since Renaldo Nehemiah did the same when he ran the first sub-13.00 in 1981.
David Oliver is the world champion and a two-time Pre Classic winner. His 2010 victory of 12.90 equalled the US record at the time and remains the US all-comers' record. The 32-year-old is the only two-time winner of the Diamond Race in this event.
France's Pascal Martinot-Lagarde notched up five IAAF Diamond League victories in 2014, the first of those being in Eugene. His fastest win came in Monaco where he set a national record of 12.95. This summer in Beijing, he will be seeking his first major outdoor medal, having already collected silver and bronze at the past two editions of the IAAF World Indoor Championships.
World bronze medallist Sergey Shubenkov is the two-time European champion. The Russian record-holder competed at the Prefontaine Classic in 2014 and 2013.
Olympic bronze medallist Hansle Parchment has set four Jamaican records in the 110m hurdles. The third of those came when winning at the Prefontaine Classic in 2013 in 13.05. After finishing second in Eugene last year, Parchment lowered the record again to a world-leading 12.94 in Paris.
Olympic finalist Orlando Ortega improved his PB to 13.01 last year. His previous best, 13.08, was set when finishing second in Eugene in 2013. The Cuban started 2015 in great form, posting a world-leading time of 7.45 in the 60m hurdles.
USA's Aleec Harris is yet to lose this year, indoors or out, with a pair of world-leading marks of 13.23. He made two appearances in Eugene last year – at the NCAA Championships in June and then at the Run Track Down meeting in July – and set PBs in both of them, clocking 13.18 and 13.14.
Asian Games champion Xie Wenjun will be making his first appearance on US soil. The 24-year-old set his PB of 13.23 when winning at last year's IAAF Diamond League meeting in Shanghai.

RISE Float House features a tank from Samadhi, the first company to create tanks for comercial use, as invented by Dr. John C. Lilly.
TRUCKEE, Calif. — The words "health" and "wellness" often bring to mind a physical activity, a new diet or class to attend.
But for two Truckee locals, a major part of health and wellness involves allowing your body and mind to relax and do nothing at all.
A similar mental state to meditation, their go-to stress and pain relief is unlike anything else — sensory deprivation floating.
Klenk and her partner, J Luchs, are the creators of RISE Float House in a home business in Tahoe Donner, and it really is a float "house" — it's their home that they open to the community by appointment to purchase float sessions.
After only having floated a handful of times three years ago, they knew it was something they — and everyone — needed for life, Klenk said.
With their original float center located in Carson City, the pair knew another option closer to Truckee was needed.
One year later, they accomplished their goal — owning a float tank and creating the first float business in North Tahoe-Truckee by early 2015.
Klenk and Luchs operate RISE using methods passed down by mentors who've learned directly from Dr. John C. Lilly, the inventor of the sensory deprivation float tank.
Luchs echoed Klenk's "this is it" feeling.
"Floating" is done in a personal heated pool, if you will. RISE features a tank made by Samadhi Tank Company, which started in 1972 and was the first company to create tanks commercially.
The RISE tank is an enclosed tank, the dimensions of which are approximately 8 feet long. 5 feet wide and 4 feet deep, with a door that never locks for safety purposes.
The tank cancels out light and sound, but is not airtight — there is plenty of air to breathe comfortably. The tank holds approximately 700 pounds of Epsom salts dissolved in roughly 10 inches of water, which is heated to body temperature.
The tank has a built-in, constant filtration system. In addition to providing health benefits for stress and muscle ache relief, the Epsom salts allow the person to easily lie on his or her back and float on the water's surface with no possibility of drowning, tipping over or immersing one's face in the water.
Sensory deprivation allows you to calm your mind and forces you into a meditative state — although one should use the word "force" lightly, as floating on the warm water really is an immensely comfortable and natural sensation.
Being in such a vulnerable state allows people to turn inward, Klenk said, and hearing only the sound of your own breath and heartbeat allows you to drift into a meditative and dreamlike state during an hour-plus period, something many train their bodies to attain over time.
"Sometimes things come up in the tank that people need to process, and we're in a position to help guide people if they have a life-changing experience and need to take a step back," she said. "We're really here for them, and we're creating a space for transformation for people, if that's what they're looking for.
Klenk described the "humanness" that naturally arises for those who participate in sensory deprivation floating.
"Really being by yourself and looking inward brings awareness to everything," she said. "It illuminates your life when you can be that present, when you can feel yourself and feel others. Being that open scares people, but one of the reasons I knew it would be great for our community is because we are so healthy and conscious, we care about ourselves and others.

A much "more-balanced network," huh? Note that Zucker didn't say that the introduction of additional conservative voices made for a "more fair and balanced network." Because that's the target here: Zucker wants the expansive audience of the Fox News Channel. This statement, in other words, was an iteration of executive savvy — an attempt to position CNN for growth. And not the result of an ombudsperson's earnest examination of past CNN programming tilt.
Behold the large share of conservative and "mixed" groups.
As Pew notes, conservatives are "somewhat underrepresented" in the CNN audience profile. So: Any enterprising CNN chief would want to claim a sliver of that big, rightward-leaning chunk of the Fox News audience — a loyal group that has kept Fox News at the top of the cable-news ratings for a decade and a half. Seeking those viewers hasn't required a rocket-science strategy at CNN: Zucker, as he himself noted, has hired more people who agree with them. Heck, the network has brought on two political commentators loyal to Donald Trump — Jeffrey Lord and Kayleigh McEnany. Other additions include former Republican National Committee spokesman Doug Heye, former Ted Cruz staffer Amanda Carpenter and former MSNBC commentator S.E. Cupp. One result of the hiring spree is that in primary-night panel discussions, prominent candidates on the GOP side have had paid CNN commentators defending their positions. For example, political commentator Ana Navarro supported Jeb Bush; Trump has his two CNNers; Cruz has Carpenter.
All that said, one of Zucker's biggest hires was Chris Cuomo, he of the liberal establishment Cuomo family. Though Cuomo presses all comers on CNN's "New Day" program, he's not the fellow that most folks would ID as a "middle-of-the-road conservative voice." The point here is that some of Zucker's chatter about commentators is a bit spinny.
All the chatter about commentator viewpoints may well miss the point. CNN's hyperaggressive commitment to hosting debates and town-hall interviews goes a long way to explaining why its prime-time 25-to-54 demographic audience has doubled since the beginning of 2016, a metric noted by the Wall Street Journal. As this blog reported, CNN's appeal to both the RNC and the Democratic National Committee has enabled it to outpace its rivals on the debate front, and it has gone nuts on the town halls, too. Along with ratings have come expenses — the network has spent around $40 million more than its 2012 outlays on campaign coverage.
This whole story will need a durability check in about a year. That's because these are extraordinary times: This morning on CNN, a pair of Indiana activists expressed satisfaction that the primary in their state actually mattered. The extended campaigns on both sides of the American political divide, indeed, have propelled CNN, giving the network opportunity after opportunity in which to trot out its ever-expanding roster of spectrum-spanning political commentators. Yet what happens on Nov. 9? Barring a recount drama, there'll be far less to politically commentate on, no candidates to rope into a presidential debate, and diminished opportunities for town halls. Meanwhile, Fox News will have its programming warhorses, provided that they renew their contracts.
Time, too, will allow for a more levelheaded assessment of the fissures in conservative America and how they affect the cable-news wars. Though a certain amount of infighting in primary season is common, the 2016 cycle has seen campaign-trail fights leach into big-time media fights. Sen. Ted Cruz, for example, has recently feuded with Fox News host Sean Hannity for allegedly favoring Trump. Trump publicly repudiated Fox News on repeated occasions. "I will say CNN treats me much better than Fox does," said Trump in an interview with Fox News. Of course, Trump is a proven liar.


Specialized Therapeutic Foster Care (STFC) is a program designed for children and adolescents who are identified to be in need of intense therapeutic services. Children placed in specialized therapeutic foster care are victims of domestic violence, parental neglect, abuse and abandonment. Parental figures are not able to provide proper care for their children, thus resulting in their temporary or permanent removal from the home. Placement in therapeutic foster care helps the child to learn to live in a healthy family environment and become an active member of the community. In addition, they are taught to develop a healthy attachment to their care givers and to trust and process emotional traumas.
CHI's team of therapeutic foster parents are properly trained to handle severe behavioral outbursts and trauma, while helping the children process the emotional separation from their loved ones.
While in foster care the child receives in-home therapy once or twice a week. Additionally, a therapist visits monthly to observe how the child interacts with the foster parents and others in the community.
Monthly sessions with a psychiatrist are a routine part of therapy.
The treatment team develops specific behavioral goals for the child. The foster parents are trained to implement the goals outlined in the treatment plan. All of CHI's foster parents are licensed and trained to deal with children with emotional and behavioral problems.
The goal of STFC is to enable the child to be reunited with the natural family, for placement in a long-term foster home or adoption.
Children dealing with emotional and behavioral issues deserve a nurturing environment. For more information on this specialized program at CHI call 305-252-4846.

Readers React: Americans deserve to lose their 2nd Amendment right to bear arms
Parents wait for news after a reports of a shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., on Feb. 14.
(Joel Auerbach / AP)
Feb. 15, 2018 11:05 AM PT
To the editor: Enough. That's it. Time to say clearly that a civilized society does not need to have its citizens massacred by a 227-year-old edict. ("Another week, another school shooting," Feb. 14)
Get the guns out of private hands and to the well-ordered militia called the police force. That's it. Enough. Take the guns away. Remove the right and make it a privilege. Amend that amendment.
4:00 p.m. Feb. 15, 2018An earlier version of the letter from Jim Freed stated that gun laws were weakened after the last school shooting. The U.S. House of Representatives did pass a bill to weaken gun control laws in some states, but it has not yet been enacted.
Steve Roberts, North Hollywood
To the editor: Videos taken by students during the shooting show a war zone: You hear the loud, rapid shooting and the screams and see bodies and blood all around, but it's students and teachers taking cover, not soldiers in flak jackets and helmets.
Members of Congress should be locked in the Capitol under guard and made to watch these videos until they come to their senses and get these weapons of war rounded up and outlawed here, as other countries have successfully done.
School shootings don't happen where there are sensible gun-control laws.
Patricia Casey, Fallbrook
This continues because we tolerate it. It's just that simple.
— Kim Righetti, Upland
To the editor: I often perform the morbid exercise of trying to remember the last mass shooting, and I increasingly struggle to list even the major stories.
Right now, the killing of 17 high school students in Florida is the top news story. Most of this year's school shootings passed unnoticed; almost none of the more than 6,000 gun incidents in 2018 documented in the Gun Violence Archive came anywhere close to making the national news.
It seems the National Rifle Assn. is too powerful, the fight too bitter, both sides too entrenched and the carnage too common.
But I want to beg my community to, at the very least, find a doable thing — and do it. If you're a parent, know if there are guns in houses where your children play. If you're a gun owner, tell the extremists they do not speak for you.
If you support gun control, say so. Say it to your friends, your neighbors and your elected leaders. Say it with your vote. With every mass murder, we're told that nothing we say will ever matter. Say it anyway.
Carrie Grinstead, North Hollywood
To the editor: The "resistance" movement has mobilized for various causes during the past year. The time is long overdue for massive marches across the country against those who foster gun violence.
Most especially, I am pointing at the NRA and its major enabler, the Republican Party.
Those members of Congress who support the NRA and disavow any need for reasonable gun control measures show us that they cherish reelection more than the protection and security of Americans, particularly innocent schoolchildren. With the NRA's blood money, they may be reelected for countless terms.
Yet at least one shameful truth will remain: They will forever be stained as among our most shameless human beings because they failed to make America a more civilized, humane society.
Joseph L. DeVitis, Rancho Mirage
To the editor: On the front page of Thursday's print edition of the Los Angeles Times, I noticed the Lenten Ash Wednesday cross on the forehead of a woman crying outside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.
For Christians, this symbol made from palm ashes is a reminder that they will return to earthly dust, making Ash Wednesday a time for reflection, repentance and prayer. I hope the children who died in Florida will reap their eternal Christian reward.
It's interesting to note that Lent started this year on Valentine's Day and will conclude on April Fool's Day. Are we fooling ourselves to believe that shootings will stop someday? Will it take a constitutional amendment to prohibit gun ownership?
Tom Kaminski, Manhattan Beach
To the editor: Please, please do not write that the memory of past school shootings has faded without a thing being done. We are doing something!
After the most recent school shootings, we moved to weaken gun laws. The House recently passed the "Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act," which would allow a gun owner to carry a concealed weapon in any state if this was allowed in the owner's home state. The gun lobby will say that this law needs to pass so that there are more good guys with guns to stop the bad guys.
But easier access to guns hasn't worked. So when we do something this time, let's do something different. Let's tighten gun laws, not weaken them.
Jim Freed, Santa Monica
To the editor: For those who have visited the Vietnam War Memorial Wall commemorating the lives of 58,195 valiant men and women, it is a breathtakingly sad experience.
To commemorate the victims of gun violence in the United States since 1968, we would need 29 more walls.
Kevin Park, Mission Hills
To the editor: This continues because we tolerate it. It's just that simple.
Kim Righetti, Upland

4:00 p.m. Feb. 15, 2018: An earlier version of the letter from Jim Freed stated that gun laws were weakened after the last school shooting. The U.S. House of Representatives did pass a bill to weaken gun control laws in some states, but it has not yet been enacted.

Fomerly Europe's largest lead mine, Laisvall was located in Arjeplog Municipality, northern Sweden, towards the Norwegian border. Lead-rich boulders were discovered in 1938 and, by 1941, further investigations had encouraged the authorities to decide to mine the deposit as a strategic, short-term measure. Mining commenced on an 'improvised' basis in 1943 but the facilities were upgraded to permanent quality later on and the whole operation expanded in stages.
Governmental imperatives having changed over the years, Boliden was not allowed to extend the mining area by diverting river flows and in 1997 gained government approval for a long-term decommissioning plan. In 1998, $1.8 million were invested, primarily to enhancing environmental impacts. The company announced closure of the mine during October 2001, following exhaustion of its reserves, having produced over 60Mt of ore during its life.
GEOLOGY AND RESERVES
The deposit occured in mainly sedimentary rocks of Cambrian to Devonian age, overlying a Precambrian basement. Mineralisation was hosted in Eocambrian sandstones, with lead distribution seemingly affected by the presence of ridges of Precambrian basement rock and by local overthrusting in the sediments. The lead-zinc-silver sulphide mineralisation was contained in thin horizontal sheets some 60m to 90m below surface. Galena, sphalerite and pyrite were the principal sulphides, with native silver sometimes visible in association with galena. Lead grade varied from nil to as much as 40% in places. Sphalerite was locally more abundant than galena.
As of January 1999, total proven and probable reserves were 6.8Mt grading 0.8% zinc, 4.6% lead and 11g/t silver. Measured and indicated reserves at that time were 3.35Mt grading 1.2% zinc, 2.0% lead and 9g/t silver. However, a SEK13.5 million exploration programme undertaken since 1997 did not reveal any further ore reserves.
The mining technique used at Laisvall was room-and-pillar, with room heights ranging from 3m to 18m. The rooms were excavated by drill-and-blast, using large Atlas Copco two-boom jumbos. Nitro Nobel Romec charging vehicles were used for explosive placement and scaling was also mechanised.
LHDs and modified wheel-loaders fed trucks for haulage to the on-site concentrator at surface, the whole of this operation having been contracted out since 1996. The roadway system was more than 250km in length, with 50km of the most heavily used roads being paved with asphalt.
Late in 1997, the mine started to develop and mine a recently discovered zinc-rich ore zone called Nadok, near the existing working area.
Part of the mine lay under Lake Stor-Laisan, and water seepage at 480 litres/s was handled by four large pumping stations. One third of the water was pumped directly back to the lake, another third was treated and returned to the lake and one third was used as process water.
The grinding and flotation recovery system was enhanced by the introduction of Svedala Cisa Microcel column flotation equipment and optimisation technology. The relatively simple sulphide ores allowed Boliden to optimise the concentrator for lead recovery, at the same time achieving excellent silver and good zinc recoveries.
Concentrates were trucked to Skelleftehamn. All the zinc and about half the lead product was exported, the balance of the lead concentrate undergoing treatment in the recently expanded Rönnskär smelter's Kaldo furnace, which utilises scrap as well (see also Boliden Area Operations).
In 1997, the mining rate at Laisvall was raised to 1.9Mt/y and, in 1999, the concentrator milled 1.95Mt yielding 94,000t of lead and 24,000t of zinc concentrate. These concentrates also contained 16000kg of silver.
Contained metal outputs reported for 2000, the last full year of operation, were 63,605t of lead, 13,010t of zinc and 462,000oz of silver.

What is transcendental meditation and does it work?
We take a look at the benefits behind this celeb-approved practice
By Erin Docherty
Beauty Crew Beauty Writer / July 19 2019
Heard of transcendental meditation (or TM meditation) but don't have a clue what it's all about? Or never even heard of it and now you're curious as to what's going down? We've got you covered.
While any type of mediation has numerous benefits for mindfulness, body and health (there are literally hundreds of meditation techniques out there), transcendental meditation has been praised for its ability to reduce stress, anxiety and depression, as well as improve sleep, cardiovascular health, brain function and even assist in weight loss.
Keen to learn more? We spoke to clinical hypnotherapist and mindset coach Claire Aristides, and wellness coach, personal trainer and founder of health and wellness system Corethentic, Flic Manning.
What is transcendental meditation?
Transcendental meditation (TM) is basically a mediation technique that involves repeating a mantra or sound (silently) to onself (usually the word 'one'). It's a safe, non-religious practice that promises to improve both the mind and body.
So, what does transcendental meditation feel like? It's not easy to define, but according to Manning, the repetition of the word delivers something like a "soothing vibration". She says, "The individual sits with eyes shut allowing the repetition of the word to send a soothing vibration through the body, until the person begins to settle and ultimately transcend into a different state of consciousness".
TM mantras are normally no more than two words (which usually originate from the vedic meditation tradition), and are used as a form of focus for one's concentration. "They are described as being 'meaningless' because they are more like sound words, rather than being a phrase or affirmation," says Aristide.
"It's probably one of the most famous meditation techniques in the world - it's the meditation technique that Oprah paid for all 400 employees of her company to learn," says Aristides. Classic Oprah!
So where did it orginate? According to Aristides, "TM was developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and was hugely popularised in the 1960s, when the Beatles travelled to India to learn to meditate with Maharishi himself, who became known as 'The Beatles Guru'. Maharishi is largely responsible for bringing Indian spirituality and meditation to the western world."
How is it different from other meditation techniques?
"In my professional opinion, many types of meditation can help people to achieve similar health benefits to TM, however the practice of TM is different in that it asks the mind not to focus on its own activity to achieve those results," says Manning. "Other styles of meditation teach the practice of truly understanding the activity of the mind in order to be more at peace. TM is about transcending the activity of the brain altogether. Once the technique is mastered, those with a 'busy mind' tend to really enjoy TM," she explains.
The technique is usually practiced for around 15 to 20 minutes once or twice per day. "When meditating, the 'thinking' process is quietened and 'transcended', so the noise of the mind is quietened and you enter a state of pure consciousness," explains Aristides. "The meditator detaches from their inner anxiety to achieve inner harmony, stillness, and a complete absence of mental noise."
So, does transcendental meditation work? Practicing TM regualry has been found to provide many positive experiences for the mind and body. "There's substantial research around the health benefits of the TM technique, with findings showing very positive benefits from regulating blood pressure, boosting the immune system, improving eating habits, to sleeping better," says Aristides.
"Some of the best, most revealing neuroscience research on the effects of meditation practice has involved brain imaging via EEG imaging, which shows TM produces alpha and theta brain wave activity, which help to relax and destress the mind and body. While practicing transcendental meditation, you are still in a state of thought, but your brain state is similar to that of when you are daydreaming."
And as you can probably guess, it's *super* popular with the celebrities. "TM has many high-profile celebrity fans, from Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry to Hugh Jackman and Jerry Seinfeld, who all claim it has completely transformative and life-changing benefits. Such a believer is film maker David Lynch that he has created a TM Foundation, which is a global charitable foundation that funds teaching of TM," says Aristides.
Where can you try transcendental meditation?
"It is usually advised to learn the technique from a registered teacher before attempting to use it at home, in a structured setting," says Manning. "Whilst the technique sounds quite simple, initially some guidance around the mantra can be very useful. There are a range of workshops and courses that people can attend all over the world."
"A TM teacher works closely with you, guiding you in the process of understanding the method, assigning you your mantra, which is given to you at a special ceremony. Your mantra remains confidential, keeping it to yourself in order to preserve its power. Over the following several months, your teacher regularly meets with you to ensure correct technique is being practised," explains Aristides.
There are literally thousands of places to learn TM across Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin or Adelaide – even in regional areas. The easiest way to find your nearest certified TM instructor is to head to tm.org.au. There are also heaps of reviews out there to help you pick a place.
How to do transcendental meditation at home
Good news: You can do it yourself, in the privacy of your own home, for free (yay - we love things that don't cost money!).
While most TM instructors will suggest one-on-one learning in person, sometimes it can be super hard to find the time (and money!) to see a qualified teacher. "I believe meditation is for everybody, and with that, the way it's taught needs to be accessible and sustainable. Many people that could benefit from it simply are unable to leave the house," says Manning.
She recommends the following tips for beginners who are interested in becoming self-taught in TM: "If you are going to learn from home, try setting up your environment to create a sense of tranquility. Dim the lights. Get some comfy clothes on. Try to avoid doing it too close to meal times as digestive functions can be a distraction (usually two hours before or after a meal is best)," she says. "If you don't have a defined mantra you can use the word 'one' or 'om'. It is a practice and it may take some time for you to feel as though your meditation has helped you transcend, so try not to judge, and instead focus on the consistency of your practice, 20 minutes, once to twice per day. Some people benefit from stretching for a few minutes before starting the practice, and that is certainly what I teach beginners to do most often in my classes and videos, as your body will be more keen to relax and work with you."
One key tip? Aristides says to always remember your goal: "The process should unfold so that you begin with your mind full of thoughts, ideas and concerns. After repeating the mantra, it will take over the background of your mind, thoughts can still remain, but eventually, the thoughts are completely erased and the mantra takes over and continues to dominate."
If you're still stuck, Manning says you could also turn to a TM app (like 'The Art of Transcendental Meditation'), step-by-step training books (e.g. Beauty From The Inside Out: Makeup Wellness Confidence by Bobbi Brown), or a YouTube video or DVD for guided instructions and tips on how to practice TM at home. (Trust us, the minute you master TM, you'll be addicted for life!).
"There are so many videos available online, and courses offered at studios all over the world for you to try. The world is your meditation oyster, so take advantage and find your way to wellness however it best suits you!" says Manning.

ARRL Awards 2018 Microwave Development Award to AREDN Team
The ARRL announced that The Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network (AREDN) project team was named as recipient of the 2018 ARRL Microwave Development Award for its initiatives to utilize Amateur Radio's microwave bands. These included extending the network's high-speed multimedia capabilities from solely 2.4 GHz to 900 MHz, 3 GHz, and 5.8 GHz, and adding 802.11n protocol to improve data throughput. The Board also acknowledged the efforts of the many AREDN implementation groups around the country who are building networks based on this technology and who stand ready to utilize them to serve the needs of their communities in times of disaster.

AREDN Project Announces Strategic Changes
AREDN forms a non-profit corporation to ensure continuity
The project saw the need for more formal governance and as a result, took the strategic step of organizing as a non-profit corporation. This will help protect the user-community investments in mesh networking by setting up the framework for long-term resource management, research, and development.
Our mission is still focused on providing the Amateur Radio Community with software, education, and support to enable them to aid public safety, emergency response and disaster relief agencies with high-speed multimedia data networks.
Continuing to rely on the financial support of a few individuals is not a sustainable means of supporting the project. Without more widespread support, the community's growing investment in network equipment and relationships with served agencies is at risk. We expect to obtain contributions primarily from the ham community. We plan to use these funds to cover operating expenses such as web site hosting, setup a test and validation lab, obtain associated test equipment, and address the costs of promoting the project through various marketing channels. We plan to consider grants to fund worthy implementations of AREDN infrastructure as our resources may allow.

AREDN code repositories on GitHub
The AREDN source code repositories are now accessible on GitHub at https://GitHub.com/aredn/aredn_ar71xx . GitHub is one of the largest open source hosting services with over 40 million users. Anyone with basic knowledge of Linux and git can now compile AREDN images and contribute changes. If you have a background in application or firmware development, the hurdle to get started and contribute to the ham community is now much lower.
GitHub also includes an issue tracking feature to capture feature requests, bug reports, and other issues. This immediately replaces our former defect tracking tool (Bloodhound).
AREDN GitHub Activity
The GitHub setup is intended to jump AREDN forward to stay current, and benefiting from, the 1000+ developers of Linux and OpenWrt releasing a steady stream of advancements and fixes. AREDN is now based on this stream. By staying current, our community is able to focus on those features unique to the ham community.
The OpenWrt group produces a major release each year followed by 3 or 4 point releases in successive months. The latest release candidate was published in June 2018 with a final release targeted in July.

AREDN Donates Mesh Networking Equipment to ARRL
High-Speed Multimedia Mesh (HSMM) technology has evolved rapidly in recent years due to the development efforts of the Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network (AREDN) open source project. This has changed the complexion of mesh implementations from an experimental, hobby-oriented, novelty into a viable alternative network suitable for supporting high-speed emergency communications and Internet connectivity when "all else fails."
The AREDN project team recently donated the following equipment to the ARRL Laboratory:
Two Ubiquiti Nanostation M3's for 3.4 GHz
Two Ubiquiti Nanostation Loco M5's for 5.8 GHz
One PowerBeam PBE-M5-300-ISO for 5.8 GHz
One AirRouter HP (combination 2.4 GHz and Ethernet switch)
The AREDN (pronounced "r-den") project is working with ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio to inform the amateur radio community about this high-speed, low-cost networking technology. To further our shared goal of supporting emergency responders, AREDN has donated a substantial kit of mesh networking equipment to the ARRL for their familiarization and deployment. Both groups plan to work together to provide written guidance on the best practices for using this networking capability to provide such services as voice-over-IP telephony (VoIP), streaming video, email, and much more.

This presentation will showcase recent advancements in the Amateur Radio Emergency Data Network (AREDN) project, how people are deploying it, and examples of applications and services provided.
QSO Today Interviews Andre K6AH
Eric Guth, 4Z1UG / WA6IGR writes "Andre Hansen, K6AH, and his team of open source developers have taken amateur radio mesh networking to a new level with AREDN, that allows commercial low cost WIFI routers and access points to be used to build out local and regional broadband networks in the amateur bands above 2 GHz. Andre and I discuss this technology and its possibilities for the amateur radio community in this QSO Today."
Listen to the QSO Today podcast here.
"QSO Today is a podcast about amateur radio also known as ham radio. Every week, I interview a leader, a mover and shaker, in the amateur radio world. Many of the technologies that we enjoy today including television and radio, cell phones, computers, and the Internet were born out of the amateur radio experience. Amateur radio was the frontier where hams conducted electronic experiments in order to make that wireless contact around the World."

Indiana is a state, attracting lovers of sports, arts, history, architecture and, of course, outdoor recreation. You will not find a better place for both active rest and constant movement.
Indiana is famous for its numerous celebrations. For example, a famous Indy-500 auto race is organized here every year. But one celebration smoothly passes into another one during both summer and autumn period. Visit the "Marathon" Wine Festival and Vintage Indiana FoodOpensit to be aware of all the local wines and culinary delights. Open-air cooking classes are also organized throughout the central part of the state capital. There are several car manufacturing plants, from the conveyors of which cars such as Honda, Toyota and General Motors leave. The city of Reynolds has the "USA biocity" status. It not only uses bio fuels for cars, but also constantly carries out experiments, as a result of which both gas and electricity are produced from agricultural waste. Tourists are attracted not only by nature reserves, but also by various entertainment events.
Car shipping is both effective and convenient for the customer.
However, it is worth knowing it is necessary to prepare it before giving the car into the hands of the driver.
First of all, it is necessary in order to avoid controversial situations. For example, a dirty car can hide scratches, chips and dents, which can be presented to the performer as damage after transportation. A leak of oil can stain the neighboring cars, and there will be more discontented parties.
Technical serviceability (except cars in disrepair).
The tank must be filled with at least five liters of fuel.
All the mounts, antennas and trunks to be removed from the roof of the vehicle.
The suspension of cars equipped with the regulation function should be set to the transport one.
It is recommended to place a spare tire, a jack and a second set of keys in the trunk.
One of the main activities is transporting cars to Indiana state. Our TMShipping company provides a full range of services for the delivery of cars "door to door". The company carries out operations, being necessary for the cargo delivery, such as obtaining the documents required for transportation, carrying out customs and other formalities, checking both cargo quantity and condition, loading and unloading it, paying duties, fees and other expenses imposed on the client, consolidating and storing the cargo, packaging and repackaging, labeling and receiving at the destination, cargo insurance, etc.

That same year, the results of his research inspired him to design and develop RecordFixer.com, the first ever automated criminal record privacy app for consumers and lawyers.
His journey into finding a consumer-focused solution to criminal record privacy was featured in Digital Punishment: Privacy, Stigma, and the Harms of Data-Driven Criminal Justice (Oxford University Press 2020).
