Welcome eyes sump pumps
Sharon Rosen
Sentinel Correspondent
WELCOME — Welcome City Council this week discussed proposed changes for sump pump inspections.
Possible changes include inspecting all newly built homes as well as those sold within 10 days before the closing and setting a limit of 60 days for the owner of property to comply with sump pump regulations.
The city is concerned about extra water getting into the sanitary sewer system. Sump pumps that drain to sanitary sewers may be a cause.
The recent deluge of rain taxed the sewer system even more. The city has used smoking systems and other inspection of mains but has not found the source of the extra water.
There is a company that uses a camera from each house to the street. The city clerk will look into the company and will compile possible revisions to the ordinance. The council tabled decisions on the issue until next meeting.
In other city news, engineer Travis Winter from Bolton & Menk reported that Phase 1 of street and infrastructure work is almost complete. Welcome is undertaking a massive $2.4 million improvement project this summer.
Winter reported charges for widening Fourth Street between Campbell and Montgomery and for a drain for more curb and gutter in the future. The council approved the construction.
Winter noted that the valve for the water main near Highway 263 is actually under the road. He said the road should be repaired in 2021 and the main could be moved to the shoulder. The council took the information under advisement.
Members of the public appeared before the council to ask about the cemetery mound not being planted. City employee Max Longley told the council he will take care of the issue.
Another resident asked about the possibility of placing benches in the downtown area, by the post office and perhaps across the street. Council members said they could take two benches from the park and ask the Fox Lake Conservation Club to donate some.
In other action, the council:
o Approved a zoning variance for Keith Winter.
o Approved a temporary liquor license for the Welcome Legion to sell beer at the Welcome summer festival.
o Approved beginning the raze and remove process for the Speckman and Johnson property.
o Learned the next council meeting will be 6 p.m. July 2 at City Hall.

Armah (Arabic: أرمها) (reigned 614–631), known in some Muslim sources as Al-Najashi (Arabic: النجاشي), was a king of the Kingdom of Aksum. He is primarily known through the coins that were minted during his reign. It has been suggested that either he or more probably his father, who gave shelter to the Muslim emigrants around 615–6 at Axum.
Scholar of ancient Ethiopia Stuart Munro-Hay (1947–2004) states that either Armah or Gersem were the last Axumite kings to issue coins. Bronze coins from the reign of Armah show him depicted as a full-length figure enthroned, with Christian cross motifs throughout.
Armah's silver coins have an unusual reverse, showing a structure with three crosses, the middle one gilded. Munro-Hay quotes W.R.O. Hahn as suggesting that this is an allusion to the Holy Sepulchre, as a reference to the Persian capture of Jerusalem in 614.

The expected lifespan of commercial water heater or furnace is around fifteen years. Furnace replacement analysts remove old furnace and alter it with the new the one which will last for longer. One should find out if heating bills are going uncontrollable, the replacement is the best possible solution. The fact is new furnaces are efficient than the elderly ones, thus the better solution would be to replace the present furnace with the new one particular rather than upgrading it occasionally.

Adobe may have been ready to finally say goodbye to its Flash Player but the company will continue to release security updates until that happens – by the end of 2020. In today's update, Adobe has released security updates for a number of its products, including Flash Player, Reader, Acrobat, Digital Editions, and Experience Manager.
The company has released security updates for Adobe Flash Player for Windows, Mac, Linux and Chrome OS, fixing only two vulnerabilities. Adobe has addressed a critical type confusion vulnerability that could lead to code execution and an important security bypass vulnerability that could lead to information disclosure. The company has acknowledged Björn Ruytenberg of Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative and Mateusz Jurczyk and Natalie Silvanovich of Google Project Zero for these two Flash Player fixes.
Adobe had said that it's not aware of any of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild. The company had recently announced that it has decided to end support for Flash Player by the end of 2020. Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, and other tech giants are also supporting Adobe in phasing out Flash Player, replacing it with better and more secure technologies.
"It's taken a lot of close work with Adobe, other browsers, and major publishers to make sure the web is ready to be Flash-free," Google had noted at the time.

Natural systems usually tend to be more complex than the models we use to test those hypothesis above, it is unlikely to explain the mechanism of invasion only by one factor. Thus interactions between different factors should be taken into account when addressing the mechanisms of plant invasion[5]. In addition, abiotic factors might also influence the invasion process.
Interaction between microbes and invasive plants has been specifically studied only for just decades, although it has been long that plant invasion has drawn attention from ecologists[5]. Up to date, enormous literatures from the last decades show that invasive plants have a dramatic effect on microbial community in their newly established habitats and those microorganisms have a feedback effect on plant community[5]. However, some theories are better understood theoretically than others and only a few studies actually provide sufficient evidences for these well-understood mechanisms[2]. Especially plant-soil feedback has been treated as a black box, little is known about the role of particular microbes in functioning plant invasion due to methodological difficulties[1]. Furthermore, to better understand the whole system, interaction of different factors should be examined[2]. What is more, additional studies involving more invasive plant species in more systems should be studied in a biogeographical context[9], since there is not necessarily a consistency among different systems or different species.

What makes the Wessex EEb tuba so special!
When Wessex Tubas started in 2011 the first tuba in the range was the EEb compensated bass tuba, the staple tuba used throughout the UK in bands and orchestras.
We started by selling a standard product already manufactured in China by the best brass factory in that country.
We found that although this tuba played surprisingly well with good tone and intonation, there were other features we certainly did not like - most notably noisy, clanky valves and low Fletcher style leadpipe which Jonathan Hodgetts (owner of Wessex Tubas) knew from painful personal experience can cause back problems through crouching playing over long periods. This standard basic instrument is still that sold by every other retailer of the Chinese made EEb tubas, but at Wessex we have continually developed to make what we now believe to be the very best EEb tuba sold at any price - backed up by it being used as of choice by top professional tuba players, such as Ian Foster, Owen Slade and Mike Poyser.
Jonathan Hodgetts plays the Wessex EEb tuba daily as his main tuba, so has lots of experience to know its strengths and weaknesses to develop. Also we have taken careful note of feedback from professional players and customers to ever improve. Some of the significant enhancements we have applied which makes the Wessex so special are below. We also continue to develop with new enhancements in virtually every batch of the tuba to make even better still, while keeping the price reasonable and affordable - that is Wessex!
We soon found out that water collects in the 3rd valve slide and this is not easy slide to remove while playing, so water key was soon added.
The tuba originally just came with Fletcher style lower leadpipe which most customers do not find comfortable and can cause severe back problems over time. It was therefore very important for Wessex to improve for comfort and safety playing. After research and experimenting we have fitted entirely new leadpipe angled and at height optimal ergonomically for most players. We at the same time had made in gold brass to avoid red-rot which can cause holes in yellow brass leadpipes over time. This also enhances how the tuba plays.
For the minority of players that find the lower Fletcher leadpipe best for them, we still make available the EEb tuba so fitted, but that too is enhanced with gold-brass leadpipe - which is better than the original 981 on which this was based.
A sign of a quality tuba is nickel silver inner and outer slides which gives the most reliable slide action and means no unsightly bare brass if slide is pulled out for tuning on silver-plated instrument.
The standard Chinese-made EEb tuba as sold elsewhere has the marching hooks in very bad position, making it almost impossible to carry the tuba comfortably. After experimenting, we have moved into the best positions for standing/marching use so the instrument hangs well with mouthpiece in correct position.
Those tubaists that play with orchestras and do not march prefer to have clean lines with no hooks and lyre which also makes the tuba more comfortable to hug, if that is your thing!
We therefore offer the Wessex EEb without hooks and lyre.
Following the model of the Besson Sovereign on which all compensated EEb tubas seem to be based, the 3rd compensating slide only had knobs for pulling, which can be difficult. We thought more sensible to fit with pull ring, so that is what you now find on the Wessex. A very simple improvement which makes the player's life easier, particularly if it needs pulling quickly during performance to empty water.
The standard Chinese case is enormous and has wheels sticking out, easy to break. So Wessex have improved the case, now smaller while still providing good protection and fitted with robust wheels, better pull strap and handles and its appearance enhanced with elegant embroidered Wessex Wyvern. Quality and practicality - that is Wessex!
These with numerous quality improvements are just some of the enhancements applied to the Wessex EEb tuba which makes it so special!


How do you complain about an undertaker?
The Supply of Goods and Services Acts 1982 and, if you made arrangements at home, by the Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008.
Both the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and The National Society of Allied & Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF) have codes of practice and offer an arbitration service to complainants against their members.
Most funeral directors belong to one of two trade associations. Each has entry criteria and each a code of practice. Both operate a complaints procedure under the auspices of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. They are the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and The National Society of Allied & Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF). They inspect members' premises to make sure they are keeping up to the mark.
They confer an element of respectability on the industry. It is impressive that members pay for the privilege of being policed. Are they any guarantee of quality? No. They are a guarantee of acceptable standards, that's all.
Don't be put off if a funeral director is not a member of NAFD or SAIF.
You can see their codes of conduct on their websites: NAFD Code of Practice and SAIF Code of Practice.

News: UK maritime sector reports strong growth as it prepares for 'crucial role' post-Brexit
Published:10 Sep 2017
Report coincides with the start of London International Shipping Week
Maritime productivity, employment, turnover and contribution to GDP have increased nationwide over a five-year period, a report has found.
The report, which was released today to coincide with London International Shipping Week, found that over five years, the British maritime sector had experienced a 12.7% increase in turnover, 6.6% increase in GVA and 3.9% increase in employment.
It also showed that productivity per worker stood well above the UK average at £77,897, compared to £50,830, and that the sector contributes nearly £40 billion to the UK economy.
The sector continues to invest in its people, with average pay also well above the UK average at £39,300, compared to £27,600.
"The report released today shows the vital role that maritime already plays in British life," said David Dingle, chairman of Maritime UK.
"Across the United Kingdom, we are seeing fantastic growth and we expect it to continue."
This week, Maritime UK welcomes international and domestic industry and government delegations, as the sector prepares to play a greater role in the economy in the wake of Brexit.
"As the engine of British trade, the UK maritime sector supports nearly 1 million jobs, contributes tens of billions to the UK GDP and drives exports as well as inward investment. Half a trillion pounds worth of goods pass through UK ports each year" Mr Dingle said.
"The importance of the sector will only grow post-Brexit. We're supremely confident that we can play a crucial role in positioning Britain as an outward-looking, global trading maritime nation.
"London International Shipping Week is an opportunity to place our world-class maritime offering in the shop window, as government and industry figures from across the world come to see the best of British."
"Equally important will be the various conversations that will take place between UK maritime leaders and Government. Maritime is the facilitator of UK trade, with 95% of all our imports and exports coming on ships and through our ports. The effectiveness with which we can do this rests in no small part on the strength of our relationship with Government and the level of support that we receive from it."
The full report is being formally launched in Parliament on Wednesday lunchtime. All data will be available online shortly after: www.maritimeuk.org/value

Jacob is an extremely talented kicking prospect. A great looking athlete that has one of the strongest legs in this class. He hits an outstanding ball on field goals with excellent range. Kickoffs are strong and near the top of his class, D1 ready. He drives the ball deep with 4.0+ hang time. Also shows punting potential. A competitor that does very well under pressure. Jacob has a great attitude and is always a pleasure to work with. He is going to be an outstanding college specialist. I expect him to dominate Vegas XXXI and pick up scholarship offers. OFFER NOW!!! Nice addition for Louisiana Monroe.

Alive and Qiking in Chad
on July 9, 2008 8:52 PM | 1
When Web 2.0 startup Qik offered me a free Nokia N95 camera phone plus their new video-streaming software for my trip to Chad, I jumped. Here was a chance to try out the latest technology in one of the world's most remote war-zones.
The Qik-N95 combo promised to condense the basic capabilities of bulky and expensive professional-grade satellite communications gear into one compact, easy-to-use package. In theory, it was perfect for the solo freelance war journalist. In practice, it's far too fragile a system for remote field work. Qik needs some major fixes before it's a useful tool for war correspondents.
Qik works like this: you activate the software on your N95 or other high-end camera phone, point and shoot a short video, and it streams automatically to the Qik website via wireless internet, multimedia message or your phone's data network. The Qik website can then relay the video to website widgets. What this means, in theory, is that you can stream short, medium-quality videos, with sound, cheaply to your blog.
The most recent video plays in a loop on the widget until you send another. Imagine the possibilities. You stumble upon some fantastic interview subject out in a public market. He's on his way to a meeting and there's no time for a formal interview. It's now or never. So you whip out your N95, activate Qik, point it at your man and fire off a few questions.
Qik picks the best method for streaming the video – ah, there just happens to be a wireless network! – and seconds later your impromptu interview is live on your blog. Or you're on some hours-long road patrol with the military. You've long ago given up hope that anything's going to happen, so you've tucked away your cameras to protect them from the sand and heat. Then the rebels fire a few shots at your vehicles and the troops fly into action, accelerating, dodging, shouting at each other, shooting back. It's all over in seconds – but what seconds they were!
You had just enough time to grab your N95, shoot some shaky video with Qik and send it, via GSM multimedia message, to your blog, where all the world can see just how sudden and chaotic war can be. But Qik's limitations mean these scenarios are still months or years away. The hardware aspect of my system – the N95 – worked flawlessly as both a camera and a phone during my month in war-weary Chad. But the Qik software placed demands on Chad's networks that the networks just couldn't meet. The results were highly disappointing.
In a month of reporting from all over Chad, I managed just one minute-long Qik interview … with myself. It's not that there are no phone, data or wireless networks in Chad. The impoverished Central African country, which hosts half a million refugees and several active rebel groups, has two major cellular networks with GSM capability. Several major hotels in the capital of N'Djamena have wireless networks, as do many of the compounds occupied by aid groups, the U.N. and the new European Union peacekeeping force in the country's rugged east. But these networks are all highly unreliable.
The government routinely turns off the cellular networks (which, by the way, cannot talk to each other) for days at a time in order to limit rebels' communications. And for some reason, two weeks into my trip, both networks' GSM capabilities simply went away … and never came back, forcing me to stop using my GSM-capable N95 for routine calls, and apparently prohibiting Qik from sending video via multimedia message. At the same time, Chad's networks began rejecting satellite phone calls. (Go figure.)
As for the wifi … I found just two networks in all of Chad that could handle Qik at all. The first was in what passes for a luxury hotel in N'Djamena. When I discovered the network while passing through the city, I tinkered with Qik some while laying plans to return and conduct short interviews in the hotel lobby. But by the time I had come back to N'Djamena, two weeks later, the network had quietly faded and died. No one could explain why. The second network was in the eastern outpost of Abeche, where on June 20 I got briefly kidnapped by deserting Chadian soldiers (some of them child soldiers) fleeing a massive, two-hour friendly-fire incident that killed at least one person.
The fighting happened to occur in and around the Catholic Mission where I was staying, which also happened to have what appeared to be a solid daytime wireless network. I planned to do a series of short Qik pieces showing the scene of the fighting, recounting my abduction and featuring other residents of the mission who witnessed the event. But on most days, Qik couldn't hold the Mission's network longer than 30 seconds. I'd get halfway through a piece … and Qik would crap out. On the day when the network was strongest, I squeezed in a minute-long shot of the Mission with some voiceover discussing Chadian child soldiers. That was the best Qik report I managed to do in Chad.
It's clear that this initial release of Qik is intended only for the most robust networks in the developed world. Hopefully future versions will be capable of finding, holding, and shoving data through the more rickety networks we find in the developing world. Beyond that, I can recommend some tweaks that might allow even today's Qik to work better in places like Chad. First, there should be a "store" function, whereby you can shoot a video in some austere location, save it to your phone's memory, then stream it later once you've got a solid network. With that function alone, I could've filed scores of fascinating videos about refugee camps, peacekeepers and urban combat. They wouldn't have been truly live … rather "sorta-live." But that's better than nothing.
Second, Qik needs some way to buffer videos so that, if the software briefly loses its wireless network connection, it doesn't also lose the whole video. The system should be tolerant of momentary hiccups with its connection.
Third, the current release of Qik requires you to enter wireless network passwords every time you connect, even if it's to the same network you just lost seconds before. That's a time-consuming process that can cause you to miss a network's brief window of solid functionality. If Qik could remember network passwords, it could connect faster to fleeting networks, and perhaps allow video filing where now it's impractical. In short, Qik, especially when paired with the awesome N95, offers tremendous potential for Web 2.0 journalism. But right now it doesn't really work in those places where Web journos like myself are doing their best work: in the poor, troubled, violent places where robust communications networks are dispensable luxuries.
NB: David emailed me this for me to post on his blog. I have added relevant links. He's not able to post from where he is at the moment.

i´ve tested Qik a few times, trying to make it work with an external mic. I made it work (http://qik.com/video/101283), but i pushed the wrong buttons at the wrong time when it counted (http://qik.com/video/101293).
for better quality and ability to save what you shoot for later, i think setting up the N95 with Shozu (http://www.shozu.com) is a better idea.
With Shozu you can set up "workflows".
1. Film/photograph
2. Send with Shozu immediately or save for later.
3. Shouz is set up to send to a ftp-account and cc content to several e-mail addresses (send one time, many receivers).

First off I need to say thanks to the guy who towed my friend in and gave me some plugs for my gtx sc.
How does that oil pump look? I've got that copper "sand" everywhere, engine needs to be cleaned or rebuilt just like after a ceramic failure.
Last edited by Lurker; 07-12-2007 at 09:47 PM.
Sorry man been down tha road! The good thing but also crazy at the same time wartny was four months out and see doo paid for it I onely had a labor bill of $700 But it was in the shope for about 5 months and that was in the winter. Summer time no clue! Good luck with the ski keep me posted!
Damn Looks like it fucked up the stator also. Bet thats expensive.
I went thru this a while back and spent like $700 on parts.Did the labor myself since i was out of warranty.Plus the local dealer sux.
Reminds me of the snapped crank snouts on the gpr.
Everyone who reads this and has an 03-05 engine needs to replace these bolts with the new stronger replacement bolts seadoo has. Because this let go at 8100 rpm and I've got bits of copper everywhere I'm going to have to tear this engine apart and inspect everything for damage.
This whole situation is unacceptable, who in the hell puts normal "light duty" bolts in a high torque application INSIDE the engine?
Same people that put ceramic washers on their superchargers.
How the hell does something happen like this?
Thanks Jeff! I replied back, you are a very generous guy!
Jerry needs to edit that post to say, don't fart around change them out now! I only have 47 hours on my rxp!
What I don't understand is why this happened. I can understand happening during startup, or stabbing the throttle from a stop, or full throttle in and out of the rough water, but this was on flat almost glass at 8100 rpm.
The only real silver lining is that now this means upgrade time! "No dear I just bought what I needed" "what, it feels faster and sounds louder to you?" "it's all in your head dear, you've gotten too used to your gtx sc"

Secondly, the credit review firm can be hired when your business is experiencing a difficult period in terms of finances because they can help to prevent you from running into huge losses. The agency will also help with formulating a debt repayment formula that can be used to avoid getting into trouble with creditors. Lastly, the company can also help with procedures you can use to recover your credit score to a better rating in case it has already been ruined after previous financial mistakes that made it difficult to pay your loans.

First, you need to identify the kind of care services your lawn requires, before you look for a company to hire.Different lawn care companies offer different services, and that is why you need to know your lawn needs so that you choose a company that fulfill them.
Look for recommendations from friends and people around you.
A company with a good work reputation is an assurance that you get good services, so look for a company with good reputation. Read the comments from other clients about the company, and if you find more negative comments stay away.
Look for a company with the right certificates and documents that allow them to operate legally. A company that is licensed is thoroughly checked and allowed to operate, so if you hire them you expect quality services.
Look for a company that has an insurance cover. An insurance cover ensures that you are not responsible for workers injured at your lawn, and the company will take care of them.
Consider hiring a company which is registered to any trade organization in the country.
Look for a company that treats their customers well and are willing to answer your questions.When you hire the company to work for you, you will have to communicate a lot, so look for a company that you can easily communicate.
Do not hesitate to ask how often they change and sharpen their blades when working. Take time to look at how their equipment is and if they look well maintained, then you are on the right direction.
Ask if the company requires a contractor they let you go after the first services. If it is mandatory for a contract make sure you like the terms, and you should also have terms of your own to terminate the contract if you don't get quality services.
Take price quotations from the company you are about to hire. Consider asking for price quotations from different companies and then pick the one that favors your pocket.
All around the world, many people have taken up harvesting of water. Long-term storage of water is one of the proper use of available resources. There are several uses of stored water such as for domestic and household use, for irrigation and as stock water. Quality water tanks are quite costly and therefore finding the one that matches your needs can be a daunting task. Here are a few pointers as to what to look for when you are busy shopping for a new water tank.
One of the crucial aspects to have in mind is the material of the tank. The material is also dependent on the amount of water you intend to store in the tank. For large volumes of water, you should consider buying concrete or steel to provide enough strength to withhold such a large volume. You can use plastic water tanks to store water for domestic use. The material of the tank should also be durable and sturdy to withstand unfavorable weather conditions. Go for a tank material that suitably matches your needs.
Another factor to put in mind is the amount of water you intend to store and use on a daily, weekly and annual basis. Smaller water tanks are normally considered for domestic use during the dry season. Large tanks are used for commercial harvesting and storing of water. Large volumes of water are used for irrigation and stock water for the farm and animals. You will be required to purchase a much larger tank.
You have to know where you want to position your water tank. The water tank should be placed in the right space to get as much water as possible and store it. The main sources of water include groundwater, rainwater, river or dam. The tank should be positioned closer to the water source to get as much water as possible. Water from the source should be of high quality and free from contamination and sediments. Filling the tank using rainwater requires that the tank be at a lower position than the roofline of the buildings. Underground water or water from a dam may require a pump and the tank should be at a higher place like a hill or a stand.
Research on some of the stores and hardware shops that sell quality water tanks in your area. Look for establishments that offer an affordable price on the tank you want to purchase. In case you cannot ferry the water tank to your place by yourself, you can check whether they have any delivery policies. Only go for a water tank of quality, has a durable material and most of all suits all your needs.

Individuals are also advised to consider the machines that the dentist have in offering the services, this is due to the fact the operations will require so many complex machines. The best clinic is the one with modern equipment's that are able to offer good dental services.

CrossFit Mayhem is a CrossFit affiliate located in Cookeville, Tennessee. Mayhem was started in 2009 by Rich Froning Jr. in his father's barn as a place to train. In 2012, Rich opened the original downtown facility, but almost immediately began plans to expand. That relocation/expansion occurred in 2016. Due in large part to Froning's success at the CrossFit Games, Crossfit Mayhem has become something of a pilgrimage site for many Crossfit Athletes and fans.

CrossFit Mayhem has fielded one or more teams at the CrossFit Games since 2013, and the team led by Rich Froning has won all the team competitions at the Games from 2015 to 2021 apart from 2017 when they came second, and 2020 when no team competition was held.

CrossFit Games
While the Affiliate Cup first appeared in 2009, CrossFit Mayhem first fielded a competitive team only in 2013 when it finished 27th.

In 2015, upon retiring from individual competition, Rich Froning joined the CrossFit Mayhem team and the team has not finished lower than 2nd place at the CrossFit Games since, despite significant turnover of athletes. The 2015 team was titled CrossFit Mayhem Freedom.  The team achieved back-to-back wins in 2015 and 2016.

In 2017, the team competed as CrossFit Mayhem.  However, this year the team finished 48 points behind Wasatch CrossFit in second place.

2018 was the first time that CrossFit Mayhem competed two teams at the CrossFit Games. Mayhem Freedom took home the Championship after a year out of the top spot, while Mayhem Independence narrowly missed a podium spot, finishing 4th overall.

In 2019, the Affiliate Cup was put on pause, as Teams no longer had to belong to the same CrossFit Affiliate in order to compete together. This ushered in the brief era of the "Super Teams," though it did little to affect Mayhem's success in CrossFit Competition. Mayhem Freedom repeated as the 2019 CrossFit Games Champions.

Also in 2019, Elly Kabboord tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance clenbuterol, receiving a four-year ban from the sport and forcing Mayhem to re-shuffle their roster, adding Carolyne Prevost to the Independence team in time for the French Throwdown. Due in part to these changes, Independence failed to qualify.

Due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, CrossFit was forced to make significant changes to the 2020 CrossFit Games, one of which was the elimination of team competition. Froning attempted to organize a replacement team competition titled Mayhem Madness, but that too had to be cancelled due to travel restriction.

In 2021, CrossFit returned to the Affiliate Cup model, resulting in the ineligibility of Scott Panchik and Chyna Cho. Andrea Nisler and Taylor Williamson, formerly of Mayhem competitor OC3 Black, both joined the team, along with Rich's cousin Chase Hill. CrossFit Mayhem was crowned the 2021 CrossFit Games Affiliate Cup Champion for the 5th time.

In 2022, CrossFit Mayhem has three teams qualified for the CrossFit Games, the first time three teams from the same gym location qualified for the Games (previously Invictus sent three teams but from different locations). Samuel Cournoyer joined the Froning-led CrossFit Mayhem Freedom team, which won the teams competition at the Games. Froning announced his retirement from team competition in October 2022 after winning their sixth title.

And, sure, the city doesn't exactly make it easy on you to organize one of these things, even after you've printed fliers and stapled them to your preferred pole. Technically, you need an actual permit now from the city of Dallas to sell your stuff from your driveway. It's probably easier to just post it on Facebook Marketplace and wait.
"Snap a photo, post it, and it's sold: the truth is that's sort of hiding a lot of the work, right?" says Byron Binkley, who founded Sella, a digital service company that sells your stuff online for you. "If you really want to do a good job, you have to know what you're doing."
You need to do pricing research, Binkley explains. Sure, you bought your Blu-ray player for $200 back in 2009, but what is it selling for now on eBay? You need to have a detailed listing description. You need to be wary of the time of year (electronics sell better after Christmas, says Binkley). You need to be willing to negotiate pricing, and you should probably list it on multiple websites.
This is where Sella comes in. The company, which launched in Portland last year and Dallas last month, acts as a middleman between you and the person who eventually buys your stuff. You drop off your items or have them picked up for a fee at a local hub. Typically that is at a local Sella rep's home, which Binkley calls "Airbnb for fulfillment." Sella takes photos and measurements, does the pricing research, and presents you with the listing information and a selling plan (i.e., what's your asking price and how low are you willing to go) to approve.
"We're the leg work, but ultimately our customers call the shots and they're the CEO," Binkley says.
Once a plan is approved, Sella posts the listing on multiple online resale sites, like Facebook Marketplace, Poshmark, eBay, Mercari, Craigslist, and more. They look through the influx of messages, sell the item, handle the pass off, and then send you a check.
While this seems like a digital-age adaptation of a consignment shop, that's not what Sella is, Binkley says. You keep ownership of your stuff until it gets sold and you can cancel the service at any time. Sella charges a flat processing fee instead of pocketing a commission. Fees start at $5.99 for each item, plus 20 cents a day until it's sold, although rates can vary depending on size of the item, shipping, and any online marketplace fees.
You can sell most things via Sella. But Binkley says name-brand items or electronics purchased within the last year or two—the first item sold in Dallas through Sella was a Vitamix—sell best. And there are a few stipulations. First, they don't take anything that one person can't carry or "won't fit in the trunk of a Prius." So no Craigslist couch.
Second, they won't accept anything that's prohibited, such as firearms or car seats, on the resale sites. Third, items need to meet a minimum price value. This ensures your item will sell and your rate of return is worth it, Binkley says. "We say like, $40 or more, because it puts people in the right ballpark."
Although, he admits, this can get nuanced. Some of the pricier niche items, like fancy birding binoculars, can be a tough sale. And while Sella won't take your tired $10 H&M sweater, there will always be a market for a $20 microwave, or even a seven-pound box of Legos.
The smaller, cheaper items, as well as bulky products like dressers and lacrosse sticks, are why Binkley thinks traditional garage sales will never truly disappear. "There's tons of stuff that is barely worth the time to drive it somewhere," he says. "And so, you know, taking it out of the garage, and sort of laying it out, is a good way to have people shop and browse."
The more valuable stuff will probably garner more money online, Binkley says, but there's something familial and nostalgic about sifting through a $5 bin at your classic weekend garage sale.
Just be sure to get a permit.

Does a corrected judgment 'reset' the appeal clock? - Latest news - 42 Bedford Row
Does a corrected judgment 'reset' the appeal clock?
In Reverend J G Hargreaves v Evolve Housing + Support [2022 EAT 122], the Employment Appeal Tribunal has clarified when time for instituting an appeal starts to run if the Employment Tribunal has sent out a corrected judgment
By Catherine Urquhart
Employment Tribunals have the power to send out a corrected judgment if the original judgment contains a minor error or typographical mistake. The power, known colloquially as the 'slip rule', is found in rule 69 of Schedule 1 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution & Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. Previously it was found in paragraph 37 of the 2004 version of the regulations.
In Hargreaves, heard in January but only published on 4 August 2022, the Claimant brought a number of discrimination claims and the Tribunal sent out its original judgment, upholding some claims and dismissing others, on 18 May 2020. As the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) gives parties 42 days to lodge an appeal, the deadline for bringing an appeal expired on 30 June 2020.
However, on 11 June 2020, the Tribunal of its own accord sent out a corrected judgment, correcting a mistake in the original judgment.
The Claimant appealed against the judgment on three grounds, lodging his appeal on 21 July 2020. As the appeal was, on the face of it, out of time by 21 days, the EAT Registrar invited submissions from the parties.
Hargreaves argued that the appeal had been brought in time on the basis that the clock had been 'reset' by the corrected judgment and thus the 42 days should be counted from 11 June. He relied on the 'confusing' correspondence from the Tribunal that had accompanied the corrected judgment. Whenever the Tribunal sends out a judgment, it also sends the parties a covering letter in standard form. This tells the parties that 'An application to appeal must generally be made within 42 days of the date the decision was sent to you…'.
Such a letter was sent out with the original judgment on 18 May. But it was also sent out with the corrected judgment on 11 June, along with a 'Certificate of Correction' which stated, under the heading 'Important note to parties', that 'Any dates for the filing of appeals or reviews are not changed by this certificate of correction and corrected judgment. These time limits still run from the date of the original judgment...'.
The Registrar accepted that these two documents appeared contradictory, and so this was one of the rare occasions when she would exercise her discretion to extend time to lodge the appeal.
The Respondent appealed against the Registrar's decision and the matter came before HHJ Auerbach.
The Learned Judge considered the case law regarding time limits for appeal, in circumstances where a corrected judgment had been sent out. Under the 2004 Regulations, the EAT had dealt with this on three occasions: Aziz-Mir v Sainsbury's Supermarket plc [2006] 12 WLUK 424, Patel v South Tyneside Council and Ors [2011] 11 WLUK 761, and Kennaugh v Lloyd-Jones [2008] 5 WLUK 322. In all three cases, the Tribunal had substituted an entirely fresh judgment, rather than simply correcting the original judgment. In such cases, the EAT held, time started to run from the date of the correction, rather than the date of the original judgment.
In what appears to be the only case on this subject under the 2013 Regulations, Majekodunmi v City Facilities Management Ltd UK (UKEATPA/0157/15/DA), the EAT held that the mere correction of a typographical error under rule 69 does not give rise to a new date from which the time to appeal starts running – it would only do so if there were a substantive change to the judgment (in which case, arguably, the correct procedure would not be to issue a certificate of correction but to reconsider the judgment).
In Hargreaves, HHJ Auerbach held that the Certificate of Correction had made clear that the clock was not reset. The corrected judgment was not a fresh, substituted judgment (as in Aziz-Mir, for example), but the old version with a correction. In these circumstances, time continues to run from the date of the original judgment, not from the date of the corrected judgment:
"… ordinarily, if the rule 69 power is exercised in the correct way, there will be no substitution of the old decision by the new and the date from which time runs for any challenge by way of appeal or application for reconsideration will not be affected" (paragraph 61).
HHJ Auerbach suggested that, to avoid this confusion recurring, the tribunal administration should not provide the standard covering letter with a corrected judgment, as that letter will already have been sent out with the original decision. Any further letter that is sent out with the corrected copy of the decision should make clear that the time for appealing or seeking a reconsideration still runs from the date of sending of the original decision (paragraph 63).
Given the confusion that had arisen, on the facts of Hargreaves the Judge held that although the corrected judgment had not reset the clock, he would exercise his discretion on this occasion to allow the appeal to proceed. However, this was a somewhat hollow victory for the Claimant as all his grounds of appeal were shortly afterwards rejected at the sift stage as having no reasonable prospects of success.

When trying to decide who belongs on a list of the 10 greatest road cyclists of all time, the first thing to discuss is criteria. With cycling full of GC contenders, sprinters, climbers, domestiques and those who concentrate on the Classics, we hit our first roadblock: it's impossible to compare these cyclists when their skill sets are so blatantly different.
To make things easier, we've put a lot of emphasis on how riders performed in the general classification at Grand Tours, with a smaller emphasis on other stage races and Classics. This, of course, requires some heartfelt apologies to Mark Cavendish and Mario Cipollini, who are undoubtedly great in their respective disciplines but lack the overall prowess to compete in road races with even the slightest elevation gain.
In the end, some are better at pedaling than others. Below is a list of the most powerful legs to have ever pedaled up and down the toughest ascents in Europe, sprinted to the finish despite fiery pain in their thighs, and claimed victory in races designed to be impossible. These are the baddest brutes to have ever graced concrete on two wheels.
Note: Some of these dudes totally doped. While such wrongdoing certainly merits a strike or two against them, we can also shrug our shoulders and say the playing field was level. We did consider doping allegations and admitted use of performance-enhancing drugs when compiling this list, but we doubt the USADA will grant us any sense of approval.
The fifth of six men who have claimed GC victories at all three Grand Tours, Contador grabbed our imagination in the post-Lance cycling world. Stripping the reins from Levi Leipheimer on the then Discovery Channel Team, Contador was, at one point, the defending champion of all three Grand Tours. Like many on this list, he's endured an onslaught of doping allegations, which saw the World Cycling Federation strip Contador of two Grand Tour wins— but cycling fans will never forget his graceful side-to-side "dance" up the toughest climbs in Europe.
Kelly's success in the Classics never translated to Grand Tour victories, but boy did this Irishman have a lot of success in the Classics. Kelly claimed 10 Classics victories, triumphed seven times in the illustrious Paris-Nice—a record no one will ever top—and won cycling's first World Cup. Despite his lack of yellow or pink jerseys, Kelly did win the general classification in the Vuelta and won the Tour de France's points classification four times. Arguably the greatest all-around cyclist of all time, anyone who faced this beast in the 1980s wouldn't argue otherwise.
A three-time winner of the Giro and two-time winner of the Tour, one can only wonder how many more victories Bartali would have claimed if not for his rival and fellow countryman, Fausto Coppi, or the forced hiatus brought about by World War II. Nonetheless, Bartali succeeded despite such misfortune. In addition to his Grand Tour success, Bartali won 24 Classics and four additional stage races. His two Tour de France victories came 10 years apart and, as one of the greatest climbers of all time, he won six consecutive mountains classifications at the Giro.
Yes, we took into account the doping and the cheating and just generally being a jerk, but there was no way we were skipping Armstrong. He'd easily crack the top five, otherwise, but seven feels like a good spot for a man with seven straight Tour de France GC victories (ahem, feel free to strike that). You can claim he struggled in the other Grand Tour events, but that would ignore the fact that he never competed in the other events. Armstrong was all about the coveted yellow jersey, which he donned more than any other man in history. And he did, in fact, come back from near death to achieve ALL OF THIS. His battles with the great Jan Ullrich, the stare up Alpe d'Huez, and his comeback after his handlebar got caught in a knapsack all go down as some of the greatest cycling moments of all time. You can strip him of his titles, but we all remember what happened.
Somehow, this five-time winner of the Giro d'Italia and three-time road world champion gets routinely overlooked by your typical "Greatest of" lists. But there's no mistaking the greatness of Alfredo Binda. After he refused to take political sides in the time of Italy's fascist regime, he lost any public support or recognition despite his dominance. Two other men, who appear later on this list, eventually matched Binda's five Giro GC victories. However, Binda rode during a time, the late 1920s, when the French and Italians rarely crossed country lines to participate in one another's races, and the Vuelta was virtually nonexistent. And the lone time Binda did compete in the Tour? He tallied two stage wins.
Another man who faced doping allegations throughout his career, Indurain entered cycling during a time when performance enhancing drugs became commonplace among cyclists. Still, Indurain claimed five Tour de France GC titles and two Giro GC titles. Though he never won the Vuelta, he became the youngest rider to have led the mammoth race in Spain at the tender age of 20. His accolades also include the Olympic Time Trial Gold Medal in Atlanta and a victory at the World Time Trial Championship the year before. No matter the circumstance, Indurain dominated the sport of cycling for five years. We call that, in the wide world of sports, a dynasty.
Like Dr. J was the first man to dunk from the free-throw line, Anquetil was the first to reach five GC victories at the Tour de France. His confidence—some might say cockiness—was a mix of Ali and Michael Jordan on the bike. He once famously predicted before the 1961 Tour de France that he would lead the 23-stage race from start to finish. And, like a Nostradamus of cycling, Anquetil followed up on his prediction. In addition to his Grand Tour success, Anquetil also won Paris-Nice five times and Bordeaux-Paris. Oh, and doping allegations plagued him throughout his entire career (shrug). But at the time, few cyclists could say they were clean with a straight face.
Another what-if type career. What if World War II didn't force a seven-year break from cycling (when Coppi became a prisoner of war in North Africa)? What if Coppi had competed just once in the Vuelta? If so, many argue he would skyrocket to number one on this list. But, that didn't happen. And woulda-coulda-shoulda isn't enough to put you over the top. Regardless, Coppi, a continuous thorn in the side of cycling great Bartali, took home two Tour de France GC titles—despite only competing in the event three times—and five Giro GC wins. Coppi also succeeded in the Classics, with a total of 28 one-day road race victories. If we give him those lost seven years, it's impossible not to surmise that Coppi would have earned substantially more Grand Tour victories. Perhaps we can summarize Coppi's career as follows: "Merckx was undoubtedly the greatest, but Coppi was the strongest."
The Badger. Perhaps more well known stateside as Greg LeMond's chief rival and target of LeMond's persistent complaining. But this distracts from the true story: Hinault was an absolute wrecking ball on—and sometimes off—the bike. No one would dare insult or mess with a man whose apt nickname made him one of the most vicious and feared figures in all of cycling. His short temper and bossy nature led him to five Tour de France GC wins, three Giro titles and two Vuelta victories. Oh, and he only competed in a total of five Grand Tours outside the Tour de France, batting a perfect 1.000 at the Vuelta and Giro. Easily the most dominant cycling figure during the 1980s, we still feel Hinault 's impact across the cycling world.
Our apologies to Hinault, but this was a relatively easy choice. Merckx, nicknamed the Cannibal for the way he devoured his rivals, was the closest thing we'll come to perfection in cycling. Owner of five Tour de France GC victories, five Giro victories and two Vuelta victories, Merckx's 11 Grand Tour wins places him one ahead of Hinault for most all time. In the 1969 edition of the Tour, Merckx went all Secretariat, winning by more than 18 minutes while capturing the yellow, green and polka dot jerseys. And, he'd be the first to tell you how difficult this feat was to accomplish. Merckx gave it his all, day in and day out, to the point where he routinely required oxygen at the end of stages. Merckx never entered a Grand Tour (17 in all) where he didn't finish in the top 10.
Felice Gimondi – Winner of all three Grand Tours, including three Giro titles. Famously defeated Merckx at the 1973 Road Race Championship.
Tony Rominger – Three-time Vuelta champion (claimed points and mountains title in 1993), Giro champion and two-time Giro Di Lombardia winner.
Greg LeMond - Three-time Tour champion, two-time World Road Race Champion, Badger Slayer.
Jan Ullrich – Perhaps the strongest man to ever grace the peloton. Claimed one Tour title and five runner-ups finishes.
Laurent Fignon – Loser of the Tour by eight seconds to Greg LeMond. Also, twice winner of the Tour and original Badger Slayer.

Instagram CEO: Windows Phone and BlackBerry app not coming 'anytime soon', Google Glass app sometime after that
Instagram says Google Glass app towards bottom of list, WP and BB app still a long time off
By: Trace Hagan from Jun 26, 2013 @ 19:04 CDT
It looks as though it could still be a long time before Instagram finds its way onto the Windows Phone and BlackBerry platforms. This fact comes courtesy of Instagram's CEO, who noted during an interview that Google Glass is towards the bottom of their list for new platforms. This is because Instagram considers where its users are and where the growth is.
Shortly after explaining that a Glass app is towards the bottom of their list, Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom warned that BlackBerry and Windows Phone apps may not be coming anytime soon. "I'm just saying that in order of priority, the way we evaluate where to expand to is really simply where our users are, and where the growth is," the executive explained. "It took us a very long time to get to Android."
We're actually quite surprised that Instagram hasn't brought an app to the other mobile platforms as of yet. Instagram is owned by Facebook, a massive company that could easily afford to port the application to the other platforms. If you're planning on using Instagram on Google Glass just be warned that it could be a very long time until an app is released for the platform.

Driven Brands' President Resigns: Industry Awaits News of Successor
Written by Stacey Phillips
Following the departure of Jose Costa as president of Driven Brands Paint & Collision Group in August, employees and industry professionals have been awaiting the news of his successor.
Costa left the company to "pursue other opportunities," according to Deborah Robinson, director of corporate communications for Driven Brands, which comprises CARSTAR, Maaco and Drive N Style, a smaller mobile interior company.
Originally from Venezuela, Costa joined Maaco in 2013 and headed the auto paint and collision repair provider for the next two years. During this time, he was featured on the Emmy Award-winning reality series "Undercover Boss" in January 2015, in which corporate executives go undercover in their businesses.
Later that year, Driven Brands acquired CARSTAR Auto Body Repair Experts in the United States and CARSTAR Canada. Costa was named head of Driven Brands' Paint & Collision Division.
"The company remains committed to growing our business," said Robinson.
This includes increasing the number of CARSTAR locations to 1,000, as well as strengthening the Maaco brand. In March, Maaco celebrated the opening of its 500th North American store located in Dallas, TX.

Though paper books are a traditional and great source of learning but children of this era prefers digital sources for education. The young ones have laptops, tablets and ebook readers etc while the kids have to compromise with their paper books. Another fact is that children are not mature enough to keep the digital devices with care and sometimes they find it hard to operate them. In the result they lose their interest in education. Darussalam Publishers being the global leader in Islamic publications has tried to fulfill its social responsibility by coming up with an educational toy series for kids. These are low cost yet high quality interactive and educational toys for your kids. Alam Al-Haroof, for instance, is an appealing gadget for kids due to its colorful design and multimedia keys.
