Remember When? How the Past Can Be a Great Present!
July 24, 2013 by Lisa Moore, gira{ph}
Ever driven down the road and a song plays on the radio that takes you back to a place and time in your past? Then suddenly you realize an involuntary smile warmly envelops your face? How about hearing a phrase, sniffing a smell or seeing an image that transports you back to a moment of pure happiness or comfort? Maybe your mind warps you to when things were simpler? Perhaps it is a song from the 80's or a vintage Coca-Cola ad that sparks this reaction. Where do you go? Is it senior prom or summers at grandma's house?
Major brands have tapped into the idea of using nostalgia in their advertising to deliver their message, and some have seen enormous success from time warp. Many experts say brands tap into the memories of consumers because it takes them to a happy time in their lives and creates a sense of comfort – especially during times of economic uncertainty.
Here is some brainfood from outside the credit union system:
Pepsi Throwback:
Pepsi teamed up with Atari and Facebook for a well-executed and successful campaign. They brought back the old Pepsi designed cans and invited people to go out to their Facebook page to play classic Atari games like Asteroids and Missile Command (some of you are probably going back to childhood at this very moment) for a chance to win a monthly prize.
They were very consistent in their efforts; even their Facebook page mirrored the campaign 100%. Their posts would have things like Christmas sweaters that were popular in the 80s, Hungry Hungry Hippos etc. to connect consumers with happy memories and the brand.
Cheerios:
When you think back to your own kids or grandkids or even pulled photos of you as a young toddler – chances are Cheerios are in the photo. For many of us, it was one of our first snacks as a baby. In a more recent ad, Cheerios touted itself as "The First Finger Food."
Facebook & Volkswagon:
Facebook and Volkswagon Netherlands partnered to create a campaign where Facebook fans were encouraged to vote for a design of a Volkswagon T1 Fanwagon that was customized with Facebook components. For example, the vehicle was equipped with a license plate that could change a relationship status and the dashboard would deliver your Facebook newsfeed. At the end of the campaign, one lucky winner became the owner of the Fanwagon vehicle. Click here to watch the video
Credit unions have the opportunity to tap into similar emotions by using nostalgia to connect happy memories of the past with future purchase intent.
Next time you're in brainstorming mode for the next big campaign at your credit union, turn it to the oldies station, and ask yourself, "Where's the Beef"?

Lucid: Volume One

In: Comics
"Lucid: Volume One" Graphic NovelReview
Written by James "Spez" Ferguson
Published by Archaia Entertainment
Originally published as Lucid #1 - #4
Written by Michael McMillian
Illustrated by Anna Wieszczyk
2011, 112 Pages
Graphic Novel released on June 7th, 2011
I'm sure that being a secret service agent has got to be a tough job. You have to be on constant alert against any possible threat. Fortunately, you rarely have to deal with any supernatural or magical dangers. That's handled by Majestic Intelligence and they are very good at what they do. Working just out of sight, the agents of Majestic have used the occult to protect presidents for ages. These aren't the wizards from Harry Potter, though. They are far tougher and a lot more advanced. Instead of wands, they have cybernetic gloves that they use to channel their powers. Magic Version 2.0.
There's an ancient prophecy that's ready to rear its ugly head and challenge this group. It's written that a being known only as The Pendragon will one day awaken the magical potential in all of mankind. As it stands now, only a fraction of the human race has the ability to tap into these powers. If it became widespread, the world would be filled with chaos. The Pendragon prophecy looked like it was about to be fulfilled once before. That was when Kennedy was shot with a literal magic bullet and put an end to any worries. Majestic is trying to prevent that from happening again.
The current Protector of the Realm is agent Matthew Dee. He's your typical super secret agent, yet troubled anti-hero who's dating a supernatural being. Dee springs into action as the President is attacked. He frantically searches for answers that lead him to Pendragon in an unlikely place.
The first volume of Lucid sets the framework for an intriguing supernatural espionage tale. Imagine the fun you can have with history if you explain some of the unexplainable with magic. The Kennedy assassination is just one brilliant idea, but there's so much more. Author Michael McMillian — who you might know as the vampire-hating Reverend Steve Newlin from True Blood — has created a world where anything can happen filled with people that want to genuinely change everything. While McMillan does a great job setting all this up, it's a lot of information to take in in just four issues. At times the dialogue is pretty thick with exposition.
Artist Anna Wieszczyk keeps Lucid moving at a quick pace. Her art reminds me of that seen in many anime series, as well as MTV's Aeon Flux. The characters are lanky, but fluid. Matthew Dee is suitably disheveled as the weight of the world starts to affect him. Wieszczyk is also responsible for the art in Godkiller, but this is a noticeable improvement from that. Oddly, although Godkiller is a motion comic, her art in Lucid shows far more movement.
I could easily see Lucid translating into an hour long TV show. Granted, the four issues collected here would represent one episode, but it would be one interesting episode. This is merely the groundwork to what I hope becomes a larger ongoing series. There are just so many possibilities. If Majestic is the organization for the US, do other countries have similar set-ups? What kind of evil lurks in the dark corners of the world? It gives a whole new meaning to the term "Weapons of Mass Destruction."

Protect your worker's worker
By Mari-Len De Guzman
Do you hire companies or contractors to perform work for you? Did you know you could be held responsible for workers' compensation premiums owed by your contractors to the compensation board?
How can you ensure that the companies you hire are covering their workers and paying their premiums while protecting yourself from having to pay on their behalf? Obtain a clearance certificate or clearance letter from the contractor or the compensation board in your jurisdiction.
Many individuals and companies hire contractors and subcontractors to perform work. Just as it is important for you to cover your workers, it is also important to ensure that companies you hire are covering theirs.
When you hire a company, you are considered to be the principal, and the company as the contractor. The principal may be deemed to be the employer of the contractors' workers if proper documentation has not been obtained.
The workers' compensation system is set up to protect workers regardless of whether they were properly covered at the time of an accident. If the contractor or subcontractor was not registered and paying premiums to cover its workers, the compensation boards may collect outstanding premiums from the principal.
In addition, in case of an accident, the principal may be responsible for the costs of any accident that occurs. This may have additional impacts on experience rating, which in turn could have substantial effects on an organization's standing with the compensation board. Depending on the industry, it may also affect an organization's ability to competitively bid for work or contracts.
In the construction industry, for example, when deciding whether to hire a contractor, many organizations will look at a company's injury rate as part of their selection criteria.
So how can you protect yourself? Obtain a clearance, or ask prospective contractors to provide you with one.
Recent Columns by Mari-Len De Guzman
A day in the mine
Making the case for worst-case scenarios
Clearances should be obtained prior to the contractor beginning the work. The clearance will confirm for the principal that the contractor is registered with the compensation board, and in many provinces, will confirm that the contractor's account is in good standing (i.e. up to date with payments).
Before issuing final payment, an updated clearance should be obtained. This will tell the principal that the contractor's account remains in good standing. In some provinces, such as Saskatchewan, a clearance tells the principal that they can pay the contractor.
If the contractor has premiums owing to the compensation board, the board may request that the principal withhold payment to the contractor.
How can you obtain a clearance?
Each province has its own method for issuing clearances. In Nova Scotia and Ontario, for example, it is the contractor's responsibility to obtain the clearance and provide it to the principal upon request.
In other provinces, such as Alberta, either the principal or the contractor may obtain the clearance. Some provinces, such as British Columbia and Alberta, provide the ability to obtain clearances electronically.
In all cases, however, clearances are provided free of charge. Consult your local compensation board to confirm how to obtain clearances in your jurisdiction.

Consider your overall database when determining which dbcc commands to run, and when to run them.
If your SAP ASE is used primarily between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, you can run dbcc checks at night and on weekends so that the checks do not have a significant impact on your users.
If your tables are not extremely large, you can run a complete set of dbcc commands fairly frequently.
dbcc checkstorage and dbcc checkcatalog provide the best coverage at the lowest cost, and assure recovery from backups. You can run dbcc checkdb or dbcc checktable less frequently to check index sort order and consistency. You need not coordinate this check with any other database maintenance activity. Reserve object-level dbcc checks and those checks that use the fix option for further diagnosis and correction of faults found by dbcc checkstorage.
If your SAP ASE is used 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you may want to limit the resource usage of dbcc checkstorage by limiting the number of worker processes, or by using application queues. If you decide not to use dbcc checkstorage, you may want to schedule a cycle of checks on individual tables and indexes using dbcc checktable, dbcc tablealloc, and dbcc indexalloc. At the end of the cycle, when all tables have been checked, you can run dbcc checkcatalog and back up the database. See "Distributing Engine Resources" in the Performance and Tuning Series: Basics .
The dump is a logical copy of the database pages; therefore, problems found in the original database are present in the duplicate database. This strategy is useful if you are using dumps to provide a duplicate database for reporting or some other purpose.
Schedule dbcc commands that lock objects to run when they avoid interference with business activities. For example, dbcc checkdb acquires locks for each table on which it performs the database check and then releases the lock once it finishes and procedes to the next table. These tables are not accessible while dbcc checkdb holds the lock. Do not schedule dbcc checkdb (or other dbcc commands with similar side effects) to run while other business activities require the tables that are locked.

Pierre Omidyar, eBay founder and philanthropist, held a press conference this morning to talk a little bit more about his new venture Peer News. And by a little– I mean very little.
The news was that John Temple former editor and publisher of the Rocky Mountain News, will be taking over the role of editor and moving to Honolulu and the service will be launching early in the second quarter of this year. And good news journalism grads: They're hiring!
The idea behind Peer News is to reinvent local, civic-minded journalism in a profitable way. It's a big hole and a big problem– something Temple knows well. The Rocky Mountain News ceased publication about a year ago after some 150 years in business.
So far Omidyar and Temple are playing their cards incredibly close to the vest. They won't disclose business model details, the scope of the organization, what form it will take or even what name they'll do business under. The only thing we do know is the site will be almost totally Hawaii-focused, which would seemingly restrict the money they could make from traditional online ad revenues where the size of audience means everything.
But Omidyar stressed in the call that they'd be paying staff "what they are worth" and building a sustainable business. Either he's got a great idea none of us have thought of or this will be a frenzy of business model trial-and-error. Either way it'll be fun to watch and given Omidyar's star power, plenty of people will be watching."You shouldn't assume that traditional models that have worked for the print would should preside in the online world," Omidyar said when pressed for details for the millionth time during the Q&A. "I have a different view."
I'm going to Honolulu in March and Omidyar and I are supposed to be getting together, so stay tuned for more details. Meantime, to apply for a job, go here.

"… Verzeihung, ich lebe" (Originaltitel "Przepraszam, ze zyje") ist ein deutsch-polnischer Dokumentarfilm von Andrzej Klamt aus dem Jahr 2000. Einige jüdische Menschen, deren Heimat einstmals die polnische Kleinstadt Będzin war, treten eine Reise in ihre Vergangenheit an, die von Angst, Verzweiflung und Scham gegenüber den ermordeten Mitmenschen erzählt. Die Bilder dessen, was sie erleben mussten, holen sie immer wieder ein und prägen sie.

Inhalt
Im Vernichtungslager Auschwitz wurden nach 1945 2400 private Fotografien von Juden gefunden, die aus der polnischen Kleinstadt Będzin stammten, gelegen am Rande des oberschlesischen Kohlereviers. Die weit überwiegende Anzahl der auf den Fotos abgebildeten Menschen kam im Grauen des Holocaust zu Tode. Einige wenige von den 27.000 Juden, die ehemals in Będzin zu Hause waren, überlebten das über sie hereinbrechende Inferno. Auch die Protagonisten des Films, ehemals Schüler am jüdischen Fürstenberg-Gymnasium, gehören zu ihnen. Lolek zum Beispiel überlebte dank seiner blauen Augen aufgrund derer man ihn nicht für einen Juden hielt. Da erzählt jemand von einer jungen Frau, die den jüdischen Kindern, die die Schule nicht mehr besuchen dürfen, Unterricht gab, um ihnen einen Rest von Selbstachtung zu bewahren. Ein anderer berichtet von einem Widerstandskämpfer, der sich im Ghetto versteckt hielt, und hilflos dem Abtransport der Juden ins Vernichtungslager zusehen musste. Die Rede ist auch von einem Gymnasiasten, der in der Vorkriegszeit ein sorgloses, vergnügtes Leben dank der Fürsorge seiner Eltern führen konnte oder von einem Ehepaar, das zwar rechtzeitig in die Sowjetunion fliehen konnte, dort aber sofort in die Verbannung geschickt wurde. Erzählt wird auch von Pejsachson, der bereits beim Transport nach Auschwitz erschossen wurde, nachdem er einem Wachhabenden ins Gesicht spuckte und ihn anschrie: "Ihr Verbrecher! Ihr werdet alle sterben wie die Hunde."

Die inzwischen in Israel ansässigen Menschen treten ihre Reise in die Vergangenheit von dort aus an. Ihre Erzählungen lassen das Leben, das sie vor Kriegsbeginn im Kreise ihrer polnischen Mitbürger führten, wieder lebendig werden. Aber auch die Auswirkungen des Nazi-Terrors und das den Juden widerfahrene Leid wird sichtbar bis hin zur Auslöschung der gesamten jüdischen Bevölkerung der kleinen polnischen Stadt – Opfer des nationalsozialistischen Rassenwahns.

Produktion

Produktionsnotizen, Förderung
Produziert wurde der Film von der Halbtotal Filmproduktion GmbH & Co. KG (Wiesbaden) in Co-Produktion mit dem Hessischen Rundfunk (Frankfurt am Main), mit der Ulrich Rydzewski Filmproduktion (Düsseldorf), mit Appel Film (Warschau) sowie Canal + Polska (Warschau). Der Erstverleih des Films erfolgte durch die Basis-Film Verleih GmbH (Berlin).

Vorwort: "So tief ist keine Versenkung, daß alle Spuren vernichtet werden könnten, nichts Menschliches ist so vollkommen; dazu gibt es zu viele Menschen in der Welt, um Vergessen endgültig zu machen. Einer wird immer bleiben, um die Geschichte zu erzählen." – Hannah Arendt In: Eichmann in Jerusalem.

Der Film zieht keine Fotos, Wochenschauberichte oder andere Zeitdokumente hinzu, um die Schreckenstaten zu illustrieren. Allein die erzählenden Menschen tauchen in die Vergangenheit ein. Ihre Erzählungen machen bewusst wie schmerzhaft ihr Erinnern auch heute noch für sie ist. Im Rückblick wird auch nicht ausgespart, dass niemand von ihnen wahrhaben wollte, was da vor sich ging in einer Zeit, als sich das Grauen schon deutlich abzeichnete. Die vier im Film porträtierten Überlebenden fanden bei bestimmten Themen, etwa der Begegnung mit dem KZ-Arzt Josef Mengele, keine Worte, sondern verstummten.

Andrzej Klamt äußerte zu seinem Film: "[…] Wir sind hier auf einige der Überlebenden getroffen, sie sind uns nahegekommen, haben unsere Aufmerksamkeit und Anteilnahme gewonnen. Aber im Hintergrund erinnern uns die Fotos auch an die, die nicht mehr da sind. Wir sehen und hören den Lebenden zu, aber die Toten sind immer präsent. Dieses Eingedenken ist für mich das wichtigste an dem Film." In einem Interview zum Film erzählte Klamt, dass die Protagonisten des Films dasselbe jüdische Gymnasium besucht, dann ins Ghetto verbannt und schließlich nach Auschwitz deportiert worden seien. Gemeinsam sei ihnen auch, dass sie nach Tel Aviv ausgewandert seien. Man habe sich für sie entschieden, weil sie einen gemeinsamen Lebens- und Erfahrungshintergrund teilten.

Gefördert wurde der Film von der Hessischen Filmförderung (Frankfurt am Main) und dem Filmbüro Nordrhein-Westfalen e.V. (Mülheim). Im Film heißt es: "Dieser Film entstand dank der freundlichen Unterstützung des staatlichen Museums Auschwitz-Birkenau und des Fritz Bauer Instituts Frankfurt am Main. Für freundliche Unterstützung danken wir dem Sheraton Hotel in Tel Aviv."

Veröffentlichung
Der Kinostart des Films erfolgte am 9. November 2000. Die Uraufführung fand beim Internationalen Forum des Jungen Films auf der Berlinale 2000 statt.

Basis DVD gab den Film am 1. Dezember 2005 auf DVD heraus. Der DVD liegt als Bonus ein 24-seitiges Booklet bei.

Rezeption

Kritik
Eva-Maria Schirge schrieb im Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger: "Man sieht ihnen die Last nicht an, die sie in sich tragen. Sie sehen aus wie ganz normale ältere Menschen, die auf ein mehr oder weniger glückliches Leben blicken können. Nur: sie halten es nicht für normal, dass sie noch leben."

J. Jacoby lobte in der Jüdischen Wochenzeitung: "Diesem Film von Andrzej Klamt und Marek Pelc, ist gelungen, worum sich Spielberg und Co. vergeblich bemühen – eine Ahnung zu übermitteln, was und wie Shoa-überlebende erinnern."

Auf der Seite filmladen.de heißt es, in Klamts Film werden wir Zeugen, "wie Menschen sich abmühen, ihre Vergangenheit zu 'erwerben'. Im Lächeln und in der Trauer auf hren Gesichtern, in ihrer Einsamkeit, im Seufzen und Sich-Mut-Machen und in der Resignation ihrer Körper beim Sprechen" werde ein "ganz anderes historisches Drama erzählt als das von den Geschichtsforschern aufgeschriebene: das Drama der vielen, die ihrer Geschichte keinen Sinn geben können. Und eine andere Haltung, als die Aufgeregtheit und das Sentiment, die das Populärkino erzeugt", werde "dem Zuschauer hier abverlangt": Er müsse "vor den Erzählungen der Protagonisten innehalten und, was er bisher zu wissen meinte, in Frage stellen". Er müsse "den Panzer öffnen, den die Medienindustrie mit ihren vorgefertigten Bildern vom Holocaust um ihn geschlossen" habe.

Christian Ziewer meinte, so, wie Klamt die Privatfotos verwende, hätten sie "nicht nur den Interviewten helfen" sollen, "sich zu erinnern", sondern seien "auch für den Zuschauer eine Brücke in die eigene Vergangenheit". Die "Alltäglichkeit der Situationen, Familie, Schule, Ferien, Freundschaft und Flirt", sei "dem Zuschauer als eigene vertraut und mach[e] die Menschen auf den Fotos – wie auch die Überlebenden, die jetzt erzählend vor ihm sitzen – zu seinen Nachbarn: dicht neben ihm, direkt nebenan". So wolle "der Film umkehren, was das Terrorregime diesen Menschen nebenan angetan hat, als es sie stigmatisierte, entrechtete und ausgrenzte, erst zu Fremden und dann zu Feinden machte. […]".

Die Ausführungen auf den Seiten Film des Monats gingen dahin, dass das Erzählen durch die Menschen "der eigentliche dramatische Vorgang des Films" sei: "Wie die Frauen und Männer dasitzen und sprechen, wie sie stocken und schweigen, wie sie sich bewegen, wie sie nachdenken und versuchen, sich zu erinnern, wie sie sich offenbaren. Das Sich-Erinnern von Menschen ist es, was dieser Dokumentarfilm vor allem andern dokumentiert." Abschließend heißt es: Verzeihung, ich lebe scheint ein kleiner Film,
beschränkt in Umfang und Horizont. Aber er öffnet einen Kosmos aus Vergangenheit und Gegenwart, der den Zuschauer herausfordert, weil er ihn mit sich selbst konfrontiert. Wir müssen den Gedanken ertragen, daß die Vergangenheit nie vergeht. Daß wir sie mit uns in die Zukunft nehmen.

Lars Meyer von Player Web sprach von einem "behutsamen Dokumentarfilm, der allen Tendenzen zum Infotainment" widerstehe. Wohltuend sei es, dass "auf einen Kommentar oder ergänzende historische Aufnahmen von den Kriegsgreueln, wie sie im Fernsehen schon lange inflationär gebraucht" würden, verzichtet werde und "schlichtweg auf die Erinnerungen auslösende Kraft der Fotographien gesetzt" werde. Der Zuschauer lausche "den ganz individuellen und doch typischen Geschichten einer Hand voll Personen, die alle in Bedzin geboren wurden und heute in Tel Aviv leben".

Auch das Lexikon des internationalen Films lobte: Ohne die erschütternden Bilder der Vernichtungslager einzubeziehen, legt der Film Zeugnis vom jüdischen Leben im 20. Jahrhundert ab und überzeugt durch seine klare, lineare Struktur. Den Protagonisten ist es zu verdanken, dass der Film nicht von Bitterkeit geprägt ist, sondern dass in die Erinnerungen an vergangenes Leid auch der Wunsch nach Versöhnung einfließt.

Prisma lobte, "endlich mal ein Film über den Holocaust, der nicht die grausamen Schreckenstaten bebildert, sondern ausschließlich die Überlebenden zeigt, deren Erzählungen lauscht und ihr mühevolles Erinnern demonstriert. So dieser Film eine sehr persönliche Sicht auf die Geschichte."

This is a quick tutorial on how to make a tassel. This tassel was used to attach to the mortarboard of a Graduation Teddy I made, but you can use tassels as a finishing feature to decorate other items as well, such as carpets and drapes.
Choose what colours you would like your tassel to be comprised of using embroidery floss or yarn. If you are making this tassel for a graduation teddy, I recommend using the school colours of your graduate. Get a piece of paper of an appropriate size (or fold the paper) and begin wrapping the embroidery floss around the paper.
Cut the ends after you've finished wrapping the embroidery floss to your desired thickness.
Holding the embroidery floss on both sides firmly, cut the floss in half along the edge of the paper.
Choose what colour you want the knot of the tassel to be (as well as the string that will attach to the centre circle of the mortarboard). Cut a piece of embroidery floss using that colour and tie a double knot firmly in the centre of the strings (where they were folded).
Fold the yellow and purple embroidery floss back upon themselves in half. Keep the purple embroidery floss (the one just used to tie the double knot) separate and out of the way (if you have an extra pair of hands, have that person hold this piece taut away from you). Use another piece of embroidery floss (same colour of floss used to tie double knot) and wrap it multiple times around the rest of the floss that is folded in half. When desired thickness is reached, tie a double knot.
Using crochet hook, pull ends of floss down and through the wrapped portion to hide them and have them blend in with rest of embroidery floss. Pull only the ends of the most recent double knot (used for wrapping) and NOT the original double knot that was kept separate (these ends will be used for attaching the tassel).
Trim ends using sharp pair of scissors.
If making tassel for Graduation Teddy, attach tassel to mortarboard by wrapping ends around centre circle.
The tassel adds a nice touch!
If you would like to watch a video on how to make a tassel, click here (this is the one I used to make this tutorial).
As I was looking up graduation quotes, I came across this witty one: "The tassel is worth the hassle!" Of course, this tassel in particular is quick to make and not a hassle at all 🙂 Give it a try to add a nice decorative touch to your projects!


September 9th, 1965, history was made. The Los Angeles Dodgers were playing the Chicago Cubs at home in Dodger Stadium. The youngest pitcher ever inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame took the mound. Sandy Kaufax, arguably the best pitcher to have ever played the game, took the mound. He pitched a perfect game, a game in which all 27 batters on the opposing team are struck out without reaching a base. 27 up, and 27 down. He became the 8th player (the first left-handed) in the history of the game to accomplish this feat. In over a hundred years of professional baseball, only 20 perfect games have ever been thrown.
But being left-handed wasn't the only unique element of his perfect game. He pitched it despite severe rheumatoid arthritis in his left elbow in his pitching arm. His arthritis was so severe that he retired the next year, at age 30, in order to not inflict permanent disability on his arm. He was on a number of medications and an intense anti-inflammatory routine in order to keep his arm from destroying itself. The fact that he pitched a perfect game through what must have been horrendous pain is a testament to the strength of that young man's determination to carry his team to greatness.
Unfortunately, most people afflicted with rheumatoid arthritis rarely achieve the same level of prestige and accomplishment that Sandy Kaufax did. In fact, many people who are in the early stages of the condition may not know they have it. Many, also, go undiagnosed or improperly diagnosed as it can often mimic other conditions.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition that affects roughly 1.5 million people in the US and approximately 1% of the global population. The highest incidence of rheumatoid arthritis occurs in women ages 44-65 though it can occur at almost any age and in both genders. While it may seem unusual that for almost no apparent reason, there are three times as many women affected than men, it is important to realize that rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition and women have a higher risk of developing autoimmune diseases in general compared to men.
Some people tend to confuse the different forms of arthritis. When people think of arthritis, they tend to visualize joint damage due to wear and tear and consider it simply an affliction of age. This form of arthritis is called osteoarthritis and is a purely mechanical condition where the cartilage at the ends of the bones have worn away over time from abuse and now grind against each other in a painful and mechanically restrictive way.
Rheumatoid arthritis, on the other hand, is when the joints become stiff and restricted, and can eventually become deformed and unusable. These are caused by inflammation in the joints due to an irrational immune system response. When most people think of joints, they think of a ball and socket, two bones with cartilage on the ends that rub together and eventually give out. Thankfully, our bodies are much smarter than that and have designed a lubrication system that, when functioning properly, prevents the two ends of the bones from ever fully contacting each other, which dramatically increases the lifespan of the bones. This lubrication system is called synovial fluid. Similar to the way machines need oil and lubricant, so do your skeletal joints. Each joint is surrounded by a hermetically sealed membrane called the synovial membrane which traps the synovial fluid in the joint. When you "crack" your knuckles, the sound is caused by the shifting of synovial fluid and not the joints snapping.
Early rheumatoid arthritis tends to affect your smaller joints first, particularly the joints that attach your fingers to your hands and your toes to your feet. As the disease progresses, symptoms often spread to the knees, ankles, elbows, hips and shoulders. In most cases, symptoms occur in the same joints on both sides of your body.
If the condition persists for a long time, eventually the joints cause deformities to the hands and/or feet such as "Z thumb" where the bones of the thumb form a "Z" when X-rayed.
While the causes of rheumatoid arthritis, and all autoimmune diseases, is a disputed subject the factors are typically considered to be some combination of genetics, environment, and, to a greater or lesser extent, diet.
To those with a firm understanding of autoimmune conditions often recognize the very strong correlation with chronic inflammation and the development of autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis. There can be many potential sources of inflammation in the synovial fluid, which may eventually manifest into rheumatoid arthritis. Food allergies, heavy metals, bacterial infections, chemical toxins, etc. can cause inflammatory responses in the joints, as well as other parts of the body including organs. It must be said, however, that there are many in the mainstream medical community who would disagree and say that there is no confirmed dietary or environmental cause of rheumatoid arthritis.
While it may very well be true that the ultimate cause of rheumatoid arthritis, and in fact any autoimmune disease, will not be known for decades to come, there is enough empirical evidence to suggest that diet, environment, and lifestyle have a strong impact on the disease and that if these areas cause or exacerbate the disease, their modification can lead to prevention and/or remission.
Truly, the first hurdle that must be conquered is detecting and diagnosing the condition early on, before permanent irreversible damage or deformity occurs to the joint. While X-rays are the most common tool used to assess current bone health, they are not of sufficient power to detect some of the more subtle damage and degeneration that rheumatoid arthritis can cause. In fact, it is not uncommon for people with rheumatoid arthritis to be misdiagnosed as osteoarthritis. This distinction is critical because these conditions require markedly different treatments and if the wrong diagnosis is made time and effort will be wasted and there is greater risk of further degeneration.
Ultrasound technologies have become significantly superior to X-ray in detecting the initial bone damage caused by synovial inflammation. Because inflammation of the synovial membrane is the distinguishing feature of rheumatoid arthritis, being able to observe it is critical for accurate diagnosis.
While there are blood tests available to test for rheumatoid arthritis, the results are not always cut and dry. The most accurate tests available detect certain antibodies that are present in the body when rheumatoid arthritis is present. However, the most sensitive test is a combination test that looks for a number of antibodies, namely Rheumatoid Factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACAPs), this test, if positive means that there is a 72% chance that the patient has rheumatoid arthritis, but if the test is negative, it means that there is a 99.7% chance that the patient doesn't have it. Being positive for those antibodies means that you could have one of several different autoimmune conditions, and one of them may be rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid Factor (RF) comes in several forms, among the most important to monitor in RA patients are RF IgA, RF IgM, and RF IgG. Measuring their quantities in blood serum is an excellent indicator of treatment progress and effectiveness because they strongly correlate to the severity of the RA condition.
Once a confirmed diagnosis has been made, the typical pharmaceutical approaches involve two different classes of medications: Disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), though it is not uncommon to use certain steroids like cortisone. While these medications can reduce symptoms and are effective for some people, they are categorized as toxic substances and have varying degrees of side effects. The most common treatments involve a combination of various DMARDs, for example Methotrexate with Sulphasalazine. Methotrexate, considered to be the most effective medication for rheumatoid arthritis also happens to be one of the most common medications used for medically induced abortions and as a remedy for ectopic pregnancies. Sulphasalazine, though less toxic than methotrexate and has been in use for many years, has documented incidences of rare but serious side effects that include aplastic anemia and neutropenia which is the destruction of certain white blood cells, both of which can cause death.
While death may be an extremely rare side effect, because of the aggressive and toxic nature of these conventional therapies, many people are searching for more natural and gentler alternatives. For the past 10 years, we at the Wellness Center have been using a dynamic program for rheumatoid arthritis (as well as other autoimmune conditions) that has an incredible track record of success.
It's a multi-stage process that utilizes very advanced testing. Blood testing, hormone testing, as well as genetic testing to allow us to determine what your specific inflammatory triggers are. Each person's triggers are unique and very specific. This in-depth testing is critical in order to determine if the inflammation in the synovial membrane is being caused or exacerbated by, hormonal imbalances, toxins, food or environmental allergens and so on.
Not every element above is appropriate for each person. Because of each person's unique genetics and lifestyle, each program is equally unique in order to address each person's exact needs.
Our method is very successful simply because it utilizes information that the conventional therapies ignore, individuality. The efficacy of our program is evidenced by our track record, which speaks for itself.
Rheumatoid arthritis does not have to be a downward spiral towards misery and disability. Early on, you should treat it as a red flag that there is something you are doing, eating, or being exposed to that is making your body extremely unhappy. If you can find and identify those dietary, lifestyle, or environmental factors, you can regain control of your body and take back your life.

Tiverton Town 1 - 0 Clevedon Town
Tiverton's final game before overeating turkey was against their most local of rivals Clevedon Town, and having surrendered a couple of points three days earlier there were questions as to whether they had the mental capacity to hold out once noses were in front. In complete contrast to the midweek game just past the Yellows stood up for the whole game, and picked up a crucial three points thanks to Simon Bochenski's poached goal just after the interval.
The Seasiders had the better of the opening exchanges, but Will Gardner was moved forward into midfield to match Clevedon's four across the middle after twenty minutes and from that point on Tivvy were the better side. Paul Hinshelwood had already hacked away an effort from Matt Prosser when he broke forward and created an opening for Dan Bulley. The forwards fine angled header was bound for the goal until Kyle Bassett's timely interception, and Danny Greaves did well to palm Hinshelwood's low drive around the post just a minute later.
For the away side chances were at a premium, although former Tivvy player Danny Haines, merrily scampering up and down the left win, did tee up Kris Leek, but the latter's shot was saved well by Ray Johnston. The first half ended without score, the final chance falling to Gardner although he was only able to head wide from a left flank corner.
There was an element of good fortune about Tiverton's goal at the beginning of the second half, and perhaps this was a sign that our luck is on the turn. Chris Vinnicombe, reliable as ever, never flash swung in a corner from the right which was only half cleared. Bulley cracked in a shot which struck the post with Greaves flat on his feet, and Tom Knighton then saw his effort pinball around of a plethora of legs. Eventually the ball found it's was to the patiently waiting Bochenski, and into the back of the net via his right boot.
Clevedon wrung the changes as they were forced to press forward, but this time the Yellows were able to hold on, and with relative ease at that. Haines was well off target with a free kick, and Danny O'Brien, on one his frequent gallivants forward linked up nicely with Bochenski and Bulley only to be denied by Greaves. At the other end Mike Symons was unable to find a way past Johnston, but Clevedon posed little threat to the Town goal, and Vinnicombe's free kick which sailed over with ten minutes left to play was the last meaningful chance at either end, but for a teasing corner from the Seasiders that the same player hacked away from danger.

TED RECKAS
Remember the first time you took your hands off the handlebars while riding a bike? You looked down and saw those ghost-like handle grips gliding down the street, and suddenly, you understood the rule of physics at work, on a visceral level. Your trajectory is governed by something you can't fully grasp—gyroscopic stability—but somehow, magically, it still works.
That is what going downhill on a skateboard feels like. It's gravity propelled, it's scary, fun, totally free—and it has been honed in Laguna Beach over the decades into something beyond sport or art.
"I remember skating down Coast Highway with no cars on it," Darren "Dags" Madrigal says of his early 1970s childhood experience. Local parents like Dags say the skateboard is a teacher of simple lessons: When you fall, get back on. Look at where you want to go. Don't push when gravity is pulling you along. Share the road.
Skateboarding is a primary color in Laguna Beach's cultural pastiche. Recently Clarke Brogger, pastor at a local church, could be seen skating down the street with a cervical collar still on his neck. A pack of kids skated by, some preparing for the downhill racing world tour, others just heading over to a friend's house. Clarke was headed to check the surf at Thalia Street beach, where he had broken his neck surfing weeks earlier.
From Water to Land
Skateboarding came from surfing. In the 1920s, before surfers could even drive into what is now Malibu, it was here in Laguna they rode flat, heavy, finless planks, dove for abalone, and eventually transitioned to shaping balsa wood boards in their backyards. It was here in his father's garage on Gaviota Street that Hobie Alter launched his surf brand that became a household name. Surf luminaries have continued to make their homes here, from Quiksilver CEO Bob McKnight, Volcom founder Richard Woolcott, Billabong President Paul Naude and Hurley President Roger Wyatt, to Peter Townend, the first world champion of surfing, and modern-day free surfers like Erik "Frog" Nelson, Hans Hagen, Jon Rose and others.
In the late 1950s skateboards were metal wheels harvested from dime store roller skates, tacked onto a piece of 2-by-8-inch scrap. Laguna waterman, skater and author Craig Lockwood, and J.J. Gasparotti crafted varnished decks with clay wheels taken from roller-rink skates they found in the Assistance League Thrift Store—an improvement, but still unreliable.
When the skateboard craze began in the 1960s, at the hands of surfers finding diversion on the ocean's down days, Laguna was ground zero. Laguna local Spider Wills' vintage skate film "Downhill Motion," opens with a simple imperative still relevant for Laguna youth 35 years later: "The day begins … is it going to be a surf day or a skateboard day?"
Skateboarding was originally approached as surfing on land, and early skaters like Joey Cabell, Mickey Munoz and local Dougie Brown literally looked for the concrete equivalent of waves. Enter the steep streets of Laguna. Park Avenue, which was paved in 1963, but ended short of the hilltop—the Top Of the World development was still years away—left a sweeping path of inclined asphalt with no cars. Sidewalk surfing became street surfing as swell, wind and tide were replaced with a more perennial force: gravity.
When founder of Surfer Magazine John Severson started the quarterly Skateboarder in 1964, soon-to-be "Endless Summer" star Mike Hynson, as well as surfers Joey Cabell and Tor Johnson were featured in the first issue, skating down Hidden Valley Road.
The terrestrial progression mimicked the aquatic one; although Phil Edwards and Butch Van Artsdalen were making early stabs at Pipeline, most California surfers still sought angling slides at San Onofre and Doheny. Concurrently, skateboarding was still focused below the S-turn on Park Avenue and other, broader hills outside of Laguna.
Randolph "Spider" Wills, so named for the climbing ability he gained in tactical training as an Air Force intelligence operative, became a cameraman for NBC television and documented the 1975 Laguna skate scene in "Downhill Motion."
Spider, on hearing that skaters are now taking on Alta Vista—one of the steepest, windiest streets in Laguna—says, "Oh my God. That is nuts. You could be killed."
And on the equipment of his day, that was a distinct possibility.
Urethane wheels changed everything. Developed in the early 1970s, they provided skaters a smooth, solid ride at high speed. Oak Street Surf Shop, now Laguna Surf and Sport, shipped out cases daily to pockets of skaters around the country, mentions local surfer/skater Glen Murray, who was making fiberglass skate decks at the time, as a student at Laguna Beach High School.
Grip tape and improved trucks also pushed skating to new levels. The 1975 Signal Hill downhill championships, featured on ABC's "Guinness Book of World Records," showed that skateboarding was no longer a no shoes, no shirt activity at the edge of the sand, but something done in full face helmets and leather suits worn by motorcycle racers. The area below the S-turn on Park Avenue, once the hot zone for nascent skateboarding, became the place where you slowed down from freeway speeds when your run was over.
Win or Crash Trying
Mark Golter was a kid living on Hidden Valley Road adjacent to Park Avenue in the 1970s and remembers watching skaters like Roger Hickey, the first downhill world champion in 1979, push the boundaries of skating.
"They would come through the S-turn at 60 mph all suited up in leathers and helmets. It was like Star Wars. It was just incredible," says Mark, who eventually received so many skateboarding tickets from frustrated cops who had no legal basis to cite him (there was no skateboarding ordinance until the city's partial skate ban in April), he was forbidden to own a skateboard.
"I would be walking with my skateboard and a cop would pull up, put my skateboard in his trunk and drive off," he remembers. "When I was 18 I got them all back, about a dozen boards."
In the 1980s, skaters like Jack Morrissey, skimboarding legend Bill Bryan, Jesse Roach and Dags Madrigal raced down Skyline Drive, actually adding costumes to the mix. Dags won with a low-tech approach: wearing a trench coat, he went straight down the hill impossibly fast, as competitors watched what appeared to be a suicide run, then opened his jacket like a drag chute.
He reached the bottom of the hill first, so he won.
"It was one of the best memories of my life, to have that title. We shouldn't do it like that now, but it would be really cool to have downhill races that were sanctioned in a safe way," Dags says.
Mark Golter, who took the Skyline title in 1995 and 1996, earning second in 1997 after getting hit by a car and breaking his nose, claims to have sponsors lined up for a major event on Park Avenue next year, although city approval is forthcoming.
Mark took the Gravity Games bronze medal in 2001, gold in 2002, and the International Gravity Sports Association world title in 2002 and 2003. Downhill skateboarding was about nasty amounts of speed, and Mark, with yellow-flames licking the shoulders of his racing leathers, was the nastiest.
Then Mark experienced his fifth concussion in 2003.
"I had reached the peak of everything you can do in the sport," he says. "Gary Hardwick, a good friend and teammate I traveled the world with, committed suicide that year. I went into a depression and left the sport. I focused on family, got married, and later had my son."
Downhill skating changed too; the X Games cancelled street luge, a close cousin of downhill skating, and Gravity Games cancelled downhill skateboarding in 2004. Competition downshifted and the sport returned to its side street roots, before coming back in recent years.
Coming Up Fast
Evren Ozan, the 2009 junior world champ at 17, typifies today's speed maestro. The quiet, long-haired kid had an award-winning Native American flute album to his credit by age 8, and he stands out for his politeness. His crew, Laguna Beach Danger Riders, participates in organized races, but he feels little of the competitiveness of Mark Golter's time.
"If you win every single race, which is pretty hard to do, you could make money and support yourself," he says. "I like skateboarding too much. I don't want to make it that. I was actually thinking about becoming a pilot. I have enough money saved up to go to flight school."
Evren started riding a Suzuki SV650 sport bike after repeated dislocations of both shoulders. The goal is to stay in touch with twisty roads and practice for downhill races while skateboarding as little as possible, to limit the probability of dislocating his shoulder during racing season. The pressure from putting his hand down in a controlled slide, nevermind a crash, could easily dislocate it again. Once racing season is over he can take the time off for surgery and recovery.
"On a bike you look through the turn and get your body position right before the turn. That helps a lot in skating—and getting comfortable going fast next to other things," Evren says. "It takes away the edge. It feels slow, after riding a motorcycle, so you can push for more speed on a skateboard."
Mark's top speed was 70 mph. Evren estimates his around 69 mph, and attests to the existence of hills in Colorado and Brazil where skaters regularly go 75 mph or 80 mph. Evren clearly has a need for speed, but resides at the forefront of a more nuanced style of skating: high speed sliding.
Kelly Slater showed going fast and carving hard had reached a logical limit on waves in the early 1990s. The best surfers were pushing their boards beyond it, sliding as they went. Fin release, previously a prelude to falling, was now the goal. Skateboarding has followed suit, with controlled slides opening the door to even higher speeds in fast turns.
"It's not that crazy to bomb a hill at 50 mph now," Evren says. "Before, that was insane. You couldn't stop if you didn't know how to slide. Now everyone knows how to slide. I see a move away from old school bombing style to more of a free-riding, stand-up style, kind of like snowboarding on the street. I could see the next generation being really talented skaters."
They already are. A younger crew, Laguna Beach Alpha Groms (LBAG), regularly takes the podium at slide jams. Going fast is a given—now it's about mastering the slide, used to control speed and direction through a turn. In addition to races, a new type of contest, the slide jam, has emerged, pitting skaters against steeper hills with tighter curves, where they win based on the skill and style of their slides, not just crossing the line first.
Mark says, "These are the full-on, perfect downhill athletes now. They can drift, control their slides and go fast. These guys are faster than we ever were: Evren Ozan, Byrne Jones, Riley Crowe. Then there are a slew of guys under them. Hunter Schwirtz is probably the best 15-year-old in the world. He beat 50 pros two months ago at the Talega Slide Jam. Wyatt (Gibbs) is coming up strong too. They are competing on a world-class level."
Have Straight A's, Will Travel
This is no "Dogtown"—the kids are meticulous about safety gear and spotters; they're on the honor roll and they're sober as a 5 a.m. wake-up call. At a recent Laguna city council meeting on skateboarding regulations, Wyatt said, "We don't do drugs, we don't drink alcohol because we're too busy skateboarding on hills. I believe that if our skateboarding privileges were taken away, we'd be inside the house playing Nazi Zombie Black Ops," referring to a video game.
The Alpha Groms de facto headquarters is the Gibbs' garage, and Wyatt's dad Chad, a Laguna surfer, helped coordinate a seminar on skateboarding safety and etiquette. That's right—skateboarding is condoned by parents, many who grew up skating.
Chance Gaul, a LBAG member, is the 2010 International Gravity Sports Association junior world champ of downhill racing. (The champion each years is the total points winner after numerous races around the world.) At 14 he hasn't started high school yet, but contracts with Jet Skateboards and Abec 11 wheels will pay his travel expenses to Europe, South Africa and Canada this year, along with a $400 per month stipend. International Gravity Sports Association President Marcus Rietema says there are only a handful of skaters making an existence out of it, but while the pay scale is modest today, Chance is confident a livelihood in skating awaits him. And if he's too early on an emerging trend, Mark Golter's son Skyler already has a custom skate model made by his sponsor Madrid Skateboards. At age 5, he has almost three years of skating under his belt. He'll probably be doing 90 mph and earning a big paycheck by 2020, when he'll be 14.

Q: Evaluate $\iint_{D}e^{(x+y)^2}dxdy$, where $D$ is the interior of the triangle with vertices $(0,0), (3,1)$ and $(2,2)$ I need to solve this problem for my vector calculus class:

Evaluate $\iint_{D}e^{(x+y)^2}\,dxdy$, where $D$ is the interior of the triangle with vertices $(0,0), (3,1)$ and $(2,2)$.

I first tried using polar coordinates but I ended up with an unsolvable integral so I concluded this wasn't the right way to do it.
I then tried to find a map $T(u,v)$ but I couldn't find one that could help me solve this integral. I tried $x=u+v$ and $y=u-v$ but $\frac{\partial (x,y)}{\partial(u,v)}=2$ and I get $\iint_{D}2e^{4u^2}dudv$ which is not solvable using classic functions.
Any ideas on what change of variable should I use?
Thank you in advance for your answers

A: You could try the substitution $x+y = \sqrt s$, $x-y = t$.  The region in question has $x+y \ge 0$ so this is well-defined and transformation from $(s,t)$ space to $(x,y)$ space given by
\begin{align*} x&= \frac 12(\sqrt s + t) \\
y&= \frac 12(\sqrt s - t)\end{align*} is one-to-one.
The equations of the sides of the triangle are $x=y$, $x+y = 4$, and $x=3y$.  These correspond to the equations $t = 0$, $s = 16$, and $s = 4t^2$ in $(s,t)$ space.  Thus your triangle $T$ is obtained by transforming the region $D$ in the first quadrant of $(s,t)$ space bounded below by $t = 0$, bounded on the right by $s = 16$, and bounded above by $t = \frac {\sqrt{s}}{2}$.
The Jacobian of the transformation is easily computed to be
$$ \frac{\partial(x,y)}{\partial (s,t)} = - \frac{1}{4 \sqrt s}$$ and so the change of variable formula tells you
$$\int_T e^{(x+y)^2}\,dydx = \int_D e^s \left| \frac{\partial(x,y)}{\partial (s,t)} \right| \, dtds = \int_0^{16} \int_0^{\sqrt s/2} e^s \frac{1}{4 \sqrt s} \, dtds = \frac 1{8} \int_0^{16} e^s \, ds$$ which evaluates to $$ \frac 1{8} (e^{16} - 1).$$

A: Once you make the substitution
$$
\left\{ \begin{array}{l}
 x = u + v \\
 y = u - v \\
 \end{array} \right.\quad  \Leftrightarrow \quad \left\{ \begin{array}{l}
 u = \frac{{x + y}}{2} \\
 v = \frac{{x - y}}{2} \\
 \end{array} \right.
$$
then the triangle becomes
$$
T_{x,y}  = \left\{ {\left( {0,0} \right),\left( {3,1} \right),\left( {2,2} \right)} \right\}\quad  \Leftrightarrow
 \quad T_{x,y}  = \left\{ {\left( {0,0} \right),\left( {2,1} \right),\left( {2,0} \right)} \right\}
$$
and since the integrand depends only on $u$ it is easy to separate it, integrate first on $v$ and ...

A: We can switch to polar coordinates as the following picture shows:
(I didn't know how to make picture smaller :)

First, observe that $$x+y = 4 \implies r = \frac{4}{\cos\theta + \sin\theta}$$
From the picture, we have $$r \in \left[0, \frac{4}{\cos\theta + \sin\theta}\right]$$ and $$\theta \in \left[\arctan\frac{1}{3}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right]$$ Now, the integral should be easier.

If you're a fan of the hit Starz series Power, you're well aware of J.R. Ramirez's character, Julio.
Even as Julio became one of the show's main characters in Season 2, he did so somewhat quietly and with a lot of mystery shrouding who he truly was, aside from working for Ghost (Omari Hardwick) and Tommy Egan (Joseph Sikora). Now that Season 4 is in full swing, though, things are starting to get interesting with Julio.
Don't forget to catch Power on Sunday's at 9 p.m. ET on Starz—and give Ramirez a follow on Instagram @jr8ramirez.


A very simple and quick recipe for tasty triple chocolate chip cookies.
Melt the butter and then combine with the brown and white sugars until well combined.
Whisk together the eggs and the vanilla and then slowly mix into the butter and the sugar mixture. Add the flour, salt, bicarbonate of soda, cocoa powder and all of the chocolate chips. Mix well and then spoon the mixture onto the baking tray (one large spoon of mixture per cookie). Leave large gaps between the cookies so that they don't stick together.
Bake the cookies in the oven for 14-15 minutes.

The 1994 Tour de France was the 81st edition of the Tour de France, one of cycling's Grand Tours. The Tour began on 2 July with a  prologue around the French city Lille. After 21 more days of racing, the Tour came to a close on the street of the Champs-Élysées. Twenty-one teams entered the race that was won by Miguel Induráin of the  team. Second and third respectively were the Latvian Piotr Ugrumov and the Italian rider, Marco Pantani.

Miguel Induráin first captured the lead after the stage 9 individual time trial. Chris Boardman was the first rider to wear the yellow jersey as leader of the general classification after winning the opening prologue. Boardman lost the lead to Johan Museeuw after Museeuw's  team won the stage three team time trial. Flavio Vanzella took the lead away from Museeuw the next day as the Tour made its way into Great Britain. Vanzella lost the lead to Sean Yates after the race's sixth stage. Yates led the race for a single day before losing it to Museeuw after the conclusion of stage 7. Museeuw lost the lead to Indurain after the stage 9 individual time trial, who then successfully defended the lead through the Alps and Pyrenees and to the Tour's finish in Paris.

Indurain became the third rider to win four consecutive Tours de France. In the race's other classifications,  rider Djamolidine Abdoujaparov won the points classification, Richard Virenque of the  team won the mountains classification,  rider Marco Pantani won the youth classification for the best rider aged 26 or under in the general classification after having finished third overall, and Eros Poli of the  team won the combativity classification. Festina–Lotus won the team classification, which ranked each of the twenty teams contesting the race by lowest cumulative time.

Teams

A total of 21 teams were invited to participate in the 1994 Tour de France. Fifteen teams were announced in May, based on their UCI ranking: Although the organisation had planned to give five additional wildcards in June, after the 1994 Giro d'Italia, it was decided to invite one extra team, and six wildcards were given. The  team of Zenon Jaskuła, who had finished in third place in the 1993 Tour de France, was not selected. Each team sent a squad of nine riders, so the Tour began with a peloton of 189 cyclists. Of these, 189 riders that started this edition of the Tour de France, a total of 117 riders made it to the finish in Paris.

The teams entering the race were:

Qualified teams

Invited teams

Route and stages

The 1994 edition of the Tour de France began with a short  prologue that navigated around the French city of Lille. There were a total of six stages that held many high mountains, while there was only one hilly stage that contained climbs of lesser degree. Eleven of the stages were primarily flat stages. The official route contained four time trials, three of which were individual and one of which was a team event.

There were two stages that began or ended outside France. Stage 4 began in the English port town of Dover and ended in Brighton. The fifth stage began and ended in the British city of Portsmouth.  This was only the second time the tour has visited England, and to mark the opening of the Channel Tunnel.

Of the stages that contained mountains, four contained summit finishes: stage 11 to Hautacam, stage 12 to Luz Ardiden, stage 16 to Alpe d'Huez, and stage 17 to Val Thorens. The nineteenth stage, an individual time trial, had a summit finish to Avoriaz. The highest point of elevation in the race was  at the summit of the Val Thorens climb on stage 17.

Race overview

The 1994 edition of the Tour de France began with a brief  prologue around the city of Lille. Englishman Chris Boardman set a blistering pace on the course en route to winning the stage by fifteen seconds over the second-place finisher Miguel Induráin. Stage 1 was a relatively flat stage that came down to a bunch sprint that was marred by a large crash. As the riders were sprinting to the finish line, a policeman leaned out to take a photograph causing Wilfried Nelissen to slam on his brakes and crash into the policeman while also taking out Laurent Jalabert in the process. Djamolidine Abdoujaparov ultimately won the stage while Jalabert and Nelissen were forced to drop out of the race due to the injuries they had sustained.

The Yellow Jersey switched riders multiple times through the first eight stages but in the Stage 9 individual time trial Indurain absolutely obliterated the entire field with only eight riders able to keep him within 6:00, and of those riders only Tony Rominger was able to keep Indurain within four minutes. Amazingly a young Lance Armstrong was able to hold onto a top 10 placing through Stage 10, but other than Rominger no one was in a position to threaten Indurain's lead.

As the race entered the Pyrenees in stages 11 and 12 Indurain built on his lead over Rominger who abandoned the Tour in Stage 13. As the race climbed Mont Ventoux and crossed the Alps Marco Pantani and Piotr Ugrumov began to climb through the top 10 as Richard Virenque held onto 2nd place, but Indurain's lead was secure with Virenque more than 7:00 behind.

In the final time trial in Stage 19 Ugrumov won the stage with Pantani coming in second both riders gaining considerable time on Indurain, but by the end of the day it was too little too late for both riders as Indurain's 4th consecutive Tour de France victory was all but secure as he held a commanding lead of 5:39 over the now 2nd place Ugrumov.

Classification leadership and minor prizes

There were several classifications in the 1994 Tour de France. The most important was the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage. The cyclist with the least accumulated time was the race leader, identified by the yellow jersey; the winner of this classification is considered the winner of the Tour.

Additionally, there was a points classification, which awarded a green jersey. In the points classification, cyclists got points for finishing among the best in a stage finish, or in intermediate sprints. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, and was identified with a green jersey.

There was also a mountains classification. The organisation had categorised some climbs as either hors catégorie, first, second, third, or fourth-category; points for this classification were won by the first cyclists that reached the top of these climbs first, with more points available for the higher-categorised climbs. The cyclist with the most points lead the classification, and wore a white jersey with red polka dots.

The fourth individual classification was the young rider classification, which was not marked by a jersey. This was decided the same way as the general classification, but only riders under 26 years were eligible.

For the team classification, the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added; the leading team was the team with the lowest total time.

In addition, there was a combativity award given after each mass-start stage to the cyclist considered most combative. The decision was made by a jury composed of journalists who gave points. The cyclist with the most points from votes in all stages led the combativity classification. Eros Poli won this classification, and was given overall the super-combativity award. The Souvenir Henri Desgrange was given in honour of Tour founder Henri Desgrange to the first rider to pass the summit of the Col du Tourmalet on stage 12. This prize was won by Richard Virenque.

In stage 1, Miguel Induráin wore the green jersey.

There is a time for love, and let me explain. As you may already know, there is the right time for all things. There is a real window of time for everyone to meet someone to fall in love with. To find the true mate of your soul. Ecclesiastes Chapter 3 says it very well: 1. To every thing, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:.
Astrologically there is a perfect time to find your soul mate. The Magi Astrology™ calls this your Cinderella Time. This is the time when you can meet your prince charming, fall in love and get married, and live happily ever after. It is the same for men as it is for women that this is your time to find that special someone. This is based upon the transits which are the key to knowing your time for any kind of endeavor. This window is only open a few times in your life and they don't last long, so when they are there, that is the time to take advantage of it and to actively find your love.
Whether you are already involved with someone and wanting to move things into a marriage or you are looking for your love, this is the time to take action. This is the time to push a little bit because this aspect will help you. Now, I know what you're thinking and if the person you're pushing doesn't stay in your life because you pushed, let them go, they were not the right one for you because of Mr./Ms. Perfect will be the one that is just as eager as you to tie the knot. In my own instance, I would push and if they start backing up then that is all I needed to know that they were not the right one.
Take a look at this Magi Astrology chart in which I've eliminated all other planet transits except those which show the Cinderella Times that I am currently under. Yes, in fact, yours truly is definitely in a Cinderella Time. Please note that Magi Astrology has a very tight orb for aspects which are no more than 3 degrees in the longitude and no more than 1.5 degrees of the declination. You will see two Cinderella Times, which include transiting Chiron conjunct my natal Venus and transiting Neptune parallel my natal Chiron. The other aspect is transiting Neptune parallel my natal Jupiter, which is what Magi Astrology calls a Romantic Golden Transit which is very helpful at this time in many ways.
Of course, you must look at any other transit aspects you have going on that may not be so favorable. For example, if you have a Heartbreak Transit at the same time as a Cinderella Transit, it is absolutely necessary to wait until the Heartbreak Transit passes before meeting someone new or getting married. There is no exception here.
During a Cinderella Time, you will find that there are many prospects that become available for you to consider. Remember what I said about the pushing and how it will remove those that aren't right for you, but listen closely, as it's very important to check the astrological compatibility between someone you meet and yourself, and if things are good that way, and you're in your Cinderella Time, and there's no breakup transits happening, then it's alright to proceed with this person.
And best of all, you will truly feel like a princess or prince and let yourself enjoy the search for your beloved.

Michel Malaussena est un producteur et réalisateur de télévision français né à Nice le .

Biographie
Après des débuts en tant qu'assistant , aux côtés de Stéphane Collaro, il travaillera comme producteur notamment avec Christophe Dechavanne (C'est encore mieux l'après-midi), Mireille Dumas, Thierry Ardisson (Bain de minuit, Lunettes noires pour nuit blanche, Télézebre), Karl Zéro (Le vrai journal, 60 jours 60 nuits, Le journal des bonnes nouvelles renommé quelques mois après Le Contre-journal) et de nouveau Thierry Ardisson (Salut les Terriens !).

En 2008, il publie un livre intitulé Les Animatueurs, où il révèle avec humour la face parfois bien peu reluisante d'animateurs de la télévision avec qui il a collaboré, comme Stéphane Collaro, Mireille Dumas, Thierry Ardisson, Nagui et Karl Zéro. Le livre a été vendu à  exemplaires.

Il sera mis en cause dans l'affaire Dominique Baudis, en corrélation avec l'affaire Allègre,  pour avoir payé un véhicule de 10700 euros à Fanny une des prostituée qui accusait Baudis de torture et de proxénétisme sur sa personne. Michel Malaussena, réalisateur du Vrai Journal sur Canal + à l'époque, réglera l'achat par virement bancaire au grand étonnement du concessionnaire.

En 2009, il publie un deuxième livre intitulé Et pourquoi pas Hollywood ? où il raconte ses débuts rocambolesques dans des sociétés de cinéma de série Z et X, avant de rentrer à la télévision.

FIRST NFT COLLECTION FROM PARAMOUNT GLOBAL AND RECUR PARTNERSHIP TO DROP WITH STAR TREK
Posted by Rebecca Ash | Apr 8, 2022 | News |
Paramount Global and RECUR have announced that Star Trek™ will be the first NFT digital collection to drop from their multi-year partnership to bring Paramount's beloved entertainment brands and characters to the metaverse. Fans will be able to access Star Trek™ digital collectibles starting April 9th through Paramount.xyz, the online portal to access Paramount's iconic IP and cherished franchises in the form of NFTs.

In the days before the hy-rail equipped pickup, railroads used self propelled motorcars- commonly called speeders- to move track maintenance crews and tools around on the railroad. The McCloud was no exception, as the company usually rostered at least a dozen speeders at any one time. The railroad organized its maintenance-of-way crews into section gangs stationed in camps along the line, with each gang responsible for the maintenance of a certain section of track. Each gang had at least one motocar assigned to it.
Motocars started to disappear as railroads purchased pickups and other highway vehicles specially equipped to run on railroad tracks. The trend put most of the McCloud speeders out to pasture, but the company has almost always kept one or two on hand for special purposes up to the present. One such car, built by the Northwestern Motor Company of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, ended up in the speeder shed at Bartle.
The origin of this car is somewhat clouded. Two sources indicate that the railroad purchased the car from the Long Bell Lumber Company about the late 1940's, but at least one story has the shop crew building the car from the parts of three others in the McCloud shop. The car eventually saw less and less use in McCloud, and at some point the company's employees took the car to Bartle, where they used it primarily for hunting and fishing trips out along the line. Most of these trips terminated at Chippy Spur, where the company kept an old caboose converted into a hunting lodge. In the late 1960's or early 1970's a group of teenagers from Redding broke into the Bartle shed and took the speeder for a joy ride, during which they blew the original engine up and caused some additional damage to railroad property. The teenagers were caught and made to pay for the damage, which included a new Green Diamond engine. The speeder eventually ended up in McCloud where it passed through a series of private owners, with the first being long-time Master Mechanic Al Carter and the last being Guido Cottini. On 6 April 1997 Guido donated the car to the Heritage Junction Museum.
The museum moved the speeder to a member's garage, where it underwent a complete restoration. Museum members Dennis Berryman, Dave Cook, and Norman Linn invested a total of 225 hours into the project. Total cost of the initial restoration amounted to $180.49. The McCloud Railway Company, Weed Building Supply, Siskiyou Muffler, Napa Auto Parts, and McCloud High School all contributed to the project either through direct donations, discounted pricing on supplies, and/or services rendered. The car has been restored to full operation and makes occassional trips out onto the railroad.
This first group of photos shows the speeder as the museum received it.
This next group of photographs shows the restoration work. The fifth photo down shows Dennis Berryman and Norman Linn with the partially completed speeder.
This last group of photos shows the speeder out on the line, first on the Sierra branch at the Goose Creek bridge, then with Norman Linn at Hambone, then with Dave Cook on the Sierra branch at the Goose Creek bridge, and finally at the McCloud depot area.
