Bradley Wiggins was crowned the British Time Trial Champion after a dominant performance in the title race at Botolph Claydon in Buckinghamshire on Sunday.
The Garmin Slipstream rider, who spends much of his time racing on the continent, was tipped for a close match-up with domestic ace Michael Hutchinson, the multiple national title and record holder.
But in the end, Wiggins was a clear winner, having covered the three-lap 31.2-mile course for the senior men in 1:02:15, winning by more than two minutes from In Gear-Quickvit RT's Hutchinson.
Rapha Condor all-rounder Chris Newton, an Olympic track rider and successful road man, took third spot, 40 seconds behind Hutchinson.
Initially in line for a place in the top three, I-Ride RT's Matt Bottrill was later disqualified from the event for drafting Wiggins as the eventual winner caught him.
While the senior men tackled the three-lap course, there were some quality rides turned out in the other categories where two laps were covered.
Emma Pooley (Cervelo Test Team) proved 30 seconds faster than Wendy Houvenaghel (Science in Sport.com) in the women's event, while UTAG Yamaha's in-form Julia Shaw, the Hampshire rider who has broken three national records this season, took third, 1:04 slower than Pooley.
After his victory in the final round of the Premier Calendar Road Race Series the Richmond Grand Prix last week, Alex Dowsett (100 Per Cent ME) took victory in the espoirs category with a time of 42:37 which would've put him third in the senior men's event after two laps.
Glendene CC's Joe Perrett won the juniors' event, covering the two laps in 44:27 to win by 1:20 from Hemel Hempstead CC's Conor Dunne.
Finally, Chippenham and District Wheelers' Jeff Jones won the hotly-contested masters category with a time of 45:09 which would have put him tenth in the senior men's times after two laps. In doing so, Jones won the masters B (35-39) category from Steve Golla (45:57).
In the other categories, last year's masters A (30-34) winner Danny Axford repeated his success with 45:14 to beat Ben Anstie (45:49). In the masters C (40-44) it was Steve Walkling (45:50) by 12 seconds over last year's winner Richard Prebble. Prebble had initially been given a time of 45:02 – which would have won him the race – but queried it himself and it was adjusted to 46:02.
Kevin Tye was a convincing winner of the masters D (45-49) with his 45:34 enough to beat Mick St Leger (46:20). In masters E (50-54) it was Colin Griffiths with 47:15 over David Pollard (47:22). Bob Garlinge won the masters F (55-59) with a time of 48:55, while Reg Smith took home the masters G (60-64) win with 49:18. In masters H (65-69) there was no-one close to world masters champion Roger Iddles, who clocked 48:21 to beat Vincent Jenkins by over five minutes.
In the masters I (70-74) category, Mick Ives won his 65th national title with 54:10 while in masters J (75+) it was John Bevan who turned in an impressive 56:59 to win his race.
Former British Best All-Rounder Kevin Dawson notched up another victory on Saturday when he powered to victory in the Rockingham CC 25-mile event at Hatfield Woodhouse in South Yorkshire, but the event was marred by an accident which landed one rider in hospital.
Dawson, the Sportscover rider from Doncaster, clocked 52:39 to win the event comfortably by around a minute and a half from Hull's Joel Wainman (Team Swift), while Sheffield Triathlon Club's Nick Sparks was third, another 31 seconds off the pace.
However, several riders did not finish after the event was halted early because of an incident where Rutland CC rider Chris Broadhurst, a teacher from Sheffield, was in collision with a stationary car on the course about two miles north of Blaxton.
The impact smashed the car's window and landed Broadhurst in Doncaster Royal Infirmary. Initial fears of head injuries were later ruled out, and he was lucky to escape with only minor injuries including a broken bone in his hand.
Julian Jenkinson (UTAG Yamaha) won the H Cribb Memorial 25, promoted by Poole Wheelers at Lytchett Matravers in Dorset on Sunday.
In-form Jenkinson clocked 51:42 to win by 35 seconds from Clarence Wheelers' Ray Hughes, while a3crg's Jonathan Hepper was third with 53:20, which also completed a 1-2-3 for veterans in the event.
Niall Digby led a one-two for the Sigma Sport Racing Team in Surrey on Saturday, taking victory in the Addiscombe CC Arthur Rayner Trophy 10-mile event at North Holmwood from team-mate Lee Turner.
Digby clocked 21:03 to win by 25 seconds from his team-mate, while 34 Nomads' Tim Stevens was third, another 12 seconds off the pace, but was fastest of the veterans.
Loughborough's Dave Collins made a winning start to the Notts and Derby Cyclo-Cross League on Saturday, racing to victory by around 32 seconds in a closely-fought seniors race at Allestree Park in Derby.
The 33-year-old Science in Sport.com rider raced around the seven-lap course in a little under 54 minutes, but with a dry and fast course laid out he struggled to establish a big lead.
There was less than two minutes between the top ten riders in a highly-competitive senior race, while the event as a whole attracted 147 riders to one of the biggest cyclo-cross leagues in the country.
Matlock's Tom Last secured second for the Sigma Sport Racing Team, 32 seconds behind Collins, while Heanor Clarion's Rob Parkin had to settle for third place after being pipped to second in a sprint finish with under-23 rider Last.
Former national champion Chris Young rolled back the years to secure victory in the opening round of the Yorkshire Cyclo-Cross Series at Oakbank School in Keighley on Sunday.
Veteran rider Young showed his younger rivals how it is done with a strong display of riding over a seven-lap course, which he covered more than a minute clear of his nearest rival.
A cycling coach for British Cycling, Young pushed one of his pupils, Tom Moses of Team Wallis CHH, into second spot, while long-time rival Noel Clough (Fietsen Tempo) had to settle for third.
Matt McDonald (Hargroves Cycles) rode a strong race to take victory in the opening round of the South West League, the Taunton Vale cross at Wellington in Somerset, on Sunday.
Vin Cox of Cyclo-cross.com led for the first half lap, but he was soon overtaken by veteran Steve Davies (Guerciotti) with McDonald and junior Andy Hargroves (Hargroves Cycles) hot on his heels.
By the second lap, McDonald had hit the front, and steadily pulled away to victory over Hargroves by around 30 seconds, with Davies holding on for third.

The legend of the "Fighting Tenth"
by admin July 30, 2014 September 4, 2020
Largely Calgarian unit was an elite fighting force
It's clear that your regiment is quite special when comrades-in-arms give you nicknames such as "The Fighting Tenth" or "The Terrible Tenth."
The 10th Battalion, which was mobilized in Calgary on Sept. 22, 1914, was indeed a highly successful battalion through the course of the Great War, taking part in prominent engagements such as the second and third battles of Ypres, Vimy Ridge, Hill 70 and Passchendaele to name a few.
This regiment was part of the first full Canadian contingent of soldiers that went overseas, made up of members from the 103rd Canadian Rifles and the 106th Winnipeg Light Infantry. However, this unit largely was made up of Calgary men.
Barry Agnew, curator for the Calgary Highlanders Regimental Museum and Archives — the unit that perpetuates the legacy of the 10th Battalion — says it's not exactly clear what made this unit so great.
"It's hard to define these sorts of things," says Agnew. "Possibly, it's because of their training that they had and there were some soldiers with previous battle experience.
"I really don't know. This certainly was the reputation of the Fighting Tenth and all of that stuff. I suppose because they had tenacity and battle. They were very serious. (They were) led by terrific commanding officers and that made a big difference at the time. "
The sheer amount of battle honours and decorations earned by the 10th Battalion helps make the cases that it was indeed an elite unit in a very strong Canadian corps. The 10th Battalion collected over 500 military decorations and gallantry awards for its battlefield achievements. With its victory at Hill 70, this battalion set a Canadian First World War record for most medals awarded — 80 — to a single unit for a single battle.
Agnew's point about this battalion having strong leadership has credence. The battalion's second, but arguably most prominent commander, Lt.-Col. Russell Boyle was a veteran of the South African War, which took place between 1899-1902. This young unit relied on his leadership and experience as they went through intense battle training on England's Salisbury Plains, beginning on Oct. 20, 1914. The discipline of this unit during training was recognized by many different battalions. It was Boyle who laid down the law.
Col. Russell Boyle, born Oct. 29, 1880, was inarguably the most famous commander of the Canadian 10th Infantry Battalion. He was a veteran of the South African War from 1899-1902. Standing at six-feet two-inches, Boyle was an intimidating presence but he earned the respect and admiration of his men through his charisma, strong work ethic and pure love that he showed for his unit. In one of the bravest acts in Canadian history, he led a hastily prepared 10th Battalion into battle on the night of April 22, 1915, and was able to successfully shutdown the German takeover of the Ypres Salient. Only hours prior, German victory seemed inevitable. This courageous stand cost Boyle his life as he died of machine gun wounds experienced in the Battle of Kitcheners' Wood on April 25.
Photo courtesy of Glenbow Archives PB-396-9During the battalion's first parade, according to Gallant Canadians: The Story of the Tenth Canadian Infantry Battalion 1914-1919, Boyle took off his coat and threw it down on the ground then addressed his troops:
"Now I'm just the same as you fellows," he told them. "I'm just an ordinary private as far as you're concerned, as far as I'm concerned. There were four men on that boat (who) said they would like to punch the hell out of me. Now I invite you four men, if you have the guts to come up, we'll have it out right here."
None of the men in the unit dared to make a move. That speech earned the men's hearts and they were apparently ready to go through any wall to make their commander proud.
When the battalion finally received its orders to head to France on Feb. 7, 1915, the unit was well conditioned and mentally prepared for what laid ahead of them. The 10th Battalion's first tour of duty in the frontline trenches came on the night of March 5-6, near La Boutillaire, France.
Four days later, on March 10, the Calgary-formed battalion stood to arms as the British watched its major offensive at Neuve Chapelle. The Canadian battalion suffered casualties from enemy shelling as the offensive ended up being a defeat for the British.
The Battle of Kitcheners' Wood
It would be over a month until the Fighting Tenth made its first dramatic impact on the war in the Battle at Kitchener's Wood on the night of April 22, 1915?.
It was a major tactical goal for the German military to destroy the Ypres Salient (a salient is an outward bulge in a line of military line or attack) in order to break the Allied defensive efforts.
By using poisonous gas, the Germans were able to overwhelm the French in an assault and achieve a clear-cut break-through of the Allied lines. Their much-desired salient was theirs for the taking. There was a gap in the lines over four miles wide. The 10th Battalion, which was on reserve at the time, was hastily thrown into battle to seal the broken line.
Before making a desperate attempt to hold the line, the tough Col. Boyle told his men, "We have been aching for a fight and now we are going to get it."
The 10th Battalion was joined by the Canadian Scottish Regiment (the 16th Infantry Battalion) at 11:30 p.m.
It could be argued that the two battalions were marching into an unwinnable situation. They had no time for proper reconnaissance and they could not set up any artillery support. It appeared the only advantage they had was the element of surprise.
Both the Canadian and the German forces charged 200 yards toward each other in a battle of intense machine gun and rifle fire. Hand-to-hand combat also took place in the woods near Saint Julien. By midnight, the battle was complete. The first Canadian major attack of the Great War was successful as they took the position held by the seasoned German soldiers.
According to Gallant Canadians, a prisoner captured by the unit showed respect to his captors by telling the 10th Battalion, "You fellows fight like hell."
The victory was not all positive however. Col. Boyle was severely wounded by machine gun fire. One of the bravest Canadians died three days later.
Salisbury Plain, a plateau in England covering 300 square miles, served as the biggest British war training camp in the First World War. The 10th Battalion from Calgary was one of many regiments to prepare for battle here.

The 10th Battalion contributed to the newly formed Canadian Corps' major victory at Vimy Ridge by being able to achieve all of its objectives on time. The Battle of Vimy Ridge represented the very best of the Canadian army's tactical planning, military engineering and use of war technology.
Hill 70 was another shining moment for this infantry battalion. On Aug. 15-16 the Fighting Tenth was able to shutdown a German counter-attack on this Belgian hill. The 10th Battalion overcame a fierce machine gun and artillery barrage by knocking out the enemy's guns with bombs. The battalion not only captured the line but also grabbed 100 German prisoners and six machine guns.
The 10th Battalion took part in major battles at Passchendaele, Amiens, the Hindenburg Line and Canal du Nord to close out its time in the First World War.
Agnew says the bravery of units such as the 10th Battalion had an immediate impact on Canada after the war.
"Canada was able to provide their own representatives as a country in the peace negotiations in Versailles after the war. They were permitted to have representatives as a country so this participation of Canada as a separate nation was vital for the ongoing independent process in Canada becoming its own nation."
The unit mobilized for the Second World War but this time as the Calgary Highlanders. It earned over 20 battle honours during that six-year global conflict. Today, this regiment continues to serve as a light infantry unit that has seen action in Afghanistan. Similarly, the Calgary Highlanders also participated in UN peacekeeping missions in Cyprus and Egypt.
In whatever action or mission the Calgary Highlanders participate in it strives to live up to the legacy of the original Fighting Tenth.

An OSCP is able to research a network, identify vulnerabilities and successfully execute attacks. This often includes modifying exploit code with the goal to compromise systems and gain administrative access. An OSCP can identify existing vulnerabilities and execute organized attacks in a controlled and focused manner, write simple Bash or Python scripts, perform network pivoting and data ex-filtration, and compromise poorly written PHP web applications.


I was commissioned in the summer of 2018 to redesign the website of NAPPR (Native American Professional Parent Resource), a non-profit based in Albuquerque New Mexico that empowers, educates, and provides supportive services to build healthy Native American children and families.
I was commissioned back in December 2013 to create a website on behalf of the Bosque Action Team (B.A.T), a coalition of local community organizations, environmental groups and private citizens. The goal of the B.A.T is the preservation and restoration of the Bosque, a strip of minimally developed land running through the heart of downtown Albuquerque. The coalition includes some of New Mexico's most prominent environmental organizations, including The Aldo Leopold Foundation and The Sierra Club.
The website features a rotating slideshow of Bosque images on the homepage. Like my mim.fm website, this site is fully responsive and features a content management system (CMS) that makes it easy for the client to maintain and update the site on their own.
On May 18, 2014, through mim.fm, my social music venture, I organized and produced Vet Visions and Voices: A Music and Art Benefit by and for Vets. The intent of this show was to give voice to the Veteran community and to facilitate connection and healing through personal expression and the sharing of information about local resources. There were powerful testimonies from Vets, including Indigenous American healer and Veteran Oatzi'nu" She'e'lake'e' who generously offered his healing services free of charge to any Vet present at the event.
Proceeds benefited the participating artists and Henderson House, a shelter for Women Vets and their children.
I worked with producers and other creatives at New Mexico PBS to create web and graphic design content in support of their terrific programming. Projects included a multimedia digital series called New Mexico & the Vietnam War: Portrait of a Generation, a webpage in support of the First Nation documentary called Defending the Fire, an overview of noted Masterpiece series programs, a poster in support of an interview with famed activist and performer Maria "Masha" Alyokhina, and a page in support of New Mexico veterans called New Mexico Veterans: Stories of Service.
In January of 2014 I completed a redesign of the mim.fm website. The new site features a clean layout with parallax scrolling, and has a responsive design that adapts elegantly to a variety of viewing sources (desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone).
Since 2012 I have been doing freelance design work for a terrific organization called The Mountain Fund, an NGO that addresses poverty-related issues in developing mountain countries. I have produced a variety of materials for them including logos, brochures and annual reports.
I was asked to design various logos for The Mountain Fund including Casa de Corazones, their low-income humanitarian housing project, Mountain Volunteer, their volunteer training program, and Volunteering in Nepal, a blog about the Mountain Fund volunteer experience.
In the fall of 2012, engineer Dylan Wood asked me to come up with a name and logo for his new studio. I came up with the name "Gimbal Design" since a gimbal, a pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis, is an integral part of many engineering projects, and the name would be easy to remember and spell. The logo I designed, which are the letters "G" and "D" connected together via a single axis point, is meant to suggest a gimbal.
In the Fall of 2011 I was commissioned to design a logo and website banner for The Mind Network's suite of applications, called Collaborative Informatics Neuroimaging Suite (CoINS).

The rash of poison ivy, oak, and sumac causes itching and a red, bumpy rash within a day or two of exposure. The rash continues to spread for a few days and lasts for up to three weeks (more in some cases). Breaks in the skin from itching can cause secondary infections that can become serious.
There are many others. Natural or commercial creams and ointments should be dabbed on as opposed to rubbed, which may cause more irritation and slow healing. In the worst cases, prescription medications like Medrol (Methylprednisolone) may be needed to speed recovery and prevent complications.

Police investigating string of car thefts at Eddy Street Commons
Posted: May 11, 2012 8:40 AM EST | Updated: Nov 6, 2014 12:18 AM EST
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Police are investigating a string of car thefts near Eddy Street Commons in South Bend.
In just the last week, police say there's been at least 20 car thefts. The latest break-ins happening Wednesday night along Napoleon Street. Four different people say they found their car windows smashed in and everything valuable gone.
The neighborhood is now surprised by the brazen thefts so close to the busy shops and restaurants. Many people say they consider the newly-developed plaza to be safe and relatively crime free because of the strong police presence.
"A car pulled out of the parking spot and I thought that's it - rock star parking," said restaurant goer Darin Hurn.
Hurn is just one of several people to bypass the parking garage for the coveted front row parking spots right in front of popular restaurants like Brother's Bar and Grill.
However, like many people, Hurn had no idea the parking spots along Napoleon Street, to the East of Eddy Street Commons, are now being targeted by thieves.
"I'm very surprised, I even left my sunglasses on the dash of my car. I just wasn't expecting anything like that to happen in this area," said Hurn.
Police say that in just the last week roughly 20 cars have been broken into along side streets near Eddy Street Commons.
Now, Hurn and others that frequent the area say they no longer feel safe parking along the street. "Oh yeah, I am going to consider taking my car and parking in the garage across the road," said Hurn.

The STEM behind Microsoft Hyperlapse
In the early years of film making the best way to ensure a smooth moving camera shot was to use a camera dolly (looked like miniature railway tracks), as you can imagine this was quite restrictive in terms of the cost and the locations that you could actually set up the rail like trappings, and so in 1975 Garret Brown invented the Steadicam which is a brand of Camera stabilizer which mechanically isolates the camera from the movement of the operator. The Steadicam was used to produced many iconic scenes in films like Rocky and the Shining. Over the last 20 years video stabilization methods have moved away from mechanical isolation, and more towards mathematical analysis, and we are now at the point that in the last year alone we have seen two methods released freely to the public. Unfortunately for us both are called Hyperlapse, developed by Microsoft & Instagram.
Instagram's Hyperlapse bares a strong resemblance to existing video stabilization algorithms in that it tries to warp each video frame in order to remove subtle camera shakes. The Instagram algorithm does have some subtle difference to existing methods, for example, it does not use image analysis to determine frame correction (like Adobe After Effects), but rather makes use of the camera's in built gyroscope. This technique is both innovative and problematic in that the gyroscope on each camera/smart phone is different and so the algorithm would need to be adjusted per device type. Furthemore this technique by definition does not lend itself to prerecorded videos.
With these limitations acknowledge the following video highlights and contrasts an extreme case where Instragram's algorithm does a relatively good job of job of warping each frame to produce a smooth video, but that smoothness comes at the sacrifice of cropping to relatively small area (stabilization window) leaving blank pixels around the edges of the frame.
Microsoft's Hyperlapse
We present a novel video stabilization method which models camera motion with a bundle of (multiple) camera paths. The proposed model is based on a mesh-based, spatially-variant motion representation and an adaptive, space-time path optimization. Our motion representation allows us to fundamentally handle parallax and rolling shutter effects while it does not require long feature trajectories or sparse 3D reconstruction. We introduce the 'as-similaras-possible' idea to make motion estimation more robust. Our space-time path smoothing adaptively adjusts smoothness strength by considering discontinuities, cropping size and geometrical distortion in a unified optimization framework. The evaluation on a large variety of consumer videos demonstrates the merits of our method.
Looking closer at the mathematics behind this Hyperlapse technique we see three stages of analysis Scene Reconstruction, Path Planning and finally Rendering.
Scene Reconstruction creates an approximate 3D model of the world, using structure for motion. A k-d tree is used to create a match graph which in turn helps detect and remove redundant frames (e.g. when the camera has stopped). Path Planning finds a camera path through the video that follows the original path while simultaneously promoting smoothness. There are several competing objectives that are factored in two stages:
Spatially smooth
Close to input camera path
Stage two
Smooth rotation
Rendering quality
Rendering is where this new technique differs the most, instead of using a single frame to render a single output frame it uses multiple. In this way each frame can be rendered beyond the narrow stabilization window. Rendering can be divided into the following stages:
A handful of images are selected for each output frame (up to 5).
The images are stitched together using a Markov Random Field stitch (MRF stitch).
Spatio-temporal MRF Stitching to achieve a coherent result.
Spatio-temporal Poisson blends the varying white balance of each frame.
The most compelling thing about Microsoft Hyperlapse technique is that it is widely available on multiple platforms.

Saudi Arabia's Health Ministry has confirmed 58 new cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in the country since the start of August, data on its website shows, the highest rise in recorded infections since February.
The 10 new cases it announced late on Tuesday represented the biggest daily jump in confirmed new infections in Saudi Arabia since May 2014, a month in which 210 people were recorded contracting the disease at the height of its biggest outbreak.
MERS, first identified in 2012 and mostly found so far in Saudi Arabia despite outbreaks elsewhere, is a SARS-like disease that causes fever and coughing in some.
Although it does not pass easily between humans, the disease has a high mortality rate, with 480 of the 1,115 people Saudi Arabia has confirmed as having caught MERS since 2012 dying from it.

QuickTime used for IWFF Webcasts
Macworld	 Mar 12, 2001 4:00 pm PST
You can journey into the wildlands of Montana and beyond this April, with 1010tv and the International Wildlife Film Festival (IWFF) as your tour guides. 1010TV is a Web site devoted to providing "high quality entertainment, education, and business video communication on a single Internet location."
Powered by BOPJET, 1010tvwill highlight the IWFF's 24th annual event, based in Missoula, Montana, through the IWFF Interactive Channel, which will include live QuickTime Webcasts of the professional seminars for wildlife filmmakers and producers along with the keynote address on Everglades restoration, April 17-21. The channel also features QuickTime movie clips of this year's award-winning films and snapshots of community events and programs.
With the IWFF's evolution into a larger entity, the International Wildlife Media Center (IWMC), the non-profit organization expects to focus their program development on creative hands-on wildlife video production courses for all ages, which ideally would travel around the country. In partnership with 1010tv, the IWMC expects to provide dynamic content year-round for the Interactive Channel, such as streaming student productions and news clips.
Meanwhile, the folks at 1010TV are giving away another iMac in their new short movie contest.
"This one's custom painted and will be given away July 4," Jim Greer of 1010TV told MacCentral. "In honor of that, we've named the iMac Captain Amer-imac-a."
The contest is open to anyone wishing to submit a movie clip less than three minutes in length with titles and credits. All films should be suitable for a family Web site. Tapes are accepted in 8mm, VHS and DV formats. Every entry must be accompanied with a self-addressed prepaid mailer if you want your video masterpiece to be returned.
The winner will be determined by viewers' votes. Entries must be received by June 15. You can find details at the contest site.

L'Intrepido è stato un brigantino della Real Marina del Regno delle Due Sicilie, successivamente acquisito dalla Regia Marina.

Caratteristiche

Costruito sugli stessi piani sui quali sarebbe poi stato costruito anche il quasi gemello Generoso, l'Intrepido, un grosso brigantino a palo (alberi di trinchetto e maestra a vele quadre e mezzana a vele auriche), era sostanzialmente una piccola corvetta benché fosse classificato come brigantino sia dalla Marina del regno delle Due Sicilie sia da quella italiana. Scafo in legno con carena ricoperta di rame, la nave aveva due ponti, con coperta priva d'ingombri.

L'armamento dell'Intrepido si componeva di diciotto carronate di medio calibro (30 libbre), in ferro e a canna liscia, disposte in barbetta nove per lato – atte solo al combattimento da breve distanza – e di due cannoni-obici Paixhans da 30 libbre anch'essi in ferro e a canna liscia (in sostanza le due uniche armi della nave dotate di capacità offensiva).

La nave differiva leggermente dal similare Generoso per alcune differenze nelle dimensioni e nell'armamento velico, che sul Generoso era a nave (tre alberi a vele quadre). Benché quasi gemelle (e infatti spesso trattate come un'unica classe), le due navi non composero mai, almeno sul piano ufficiale, una vera e propria classe. L'Intrepido si rivelò un'unità dalle scarse prestazioni, che indussero a destinarla principalmente a ruoli di secondaria importanza e compiti da nave scuola.

Storia

Impostato nei cantieri di Castellammare di Stabia per la Marina del Regno delle Due Sicilie nel luglio 1838, l'Intrepido venne varato nel dicembre 1839 e completato nell'agosto 1840.

Nel corso della sua vita operativa sotto bandiera borbonica la nave ebbe un impiego secondario, soprattutto in ruoli di nave scuola, svolgendo attività priva di eventi di rilievo. Dal 1840, per un decennio, l'Intrepido venne utilizzato in compiti di addestramento nel Mar Tirreno.

Il 7 luglio 1846 l'Intrepido, insieme con altre dieci unità (pirofregate Ruggiero, Roberto, Ercole, Archimede, fregata a vela Regina Isabella, brigantini Valoroso, Principe Carlo, Zeffiro e Generoso, avviso Delfino), salpò da Napoli in formazione con la corvetta Cristina, che aveva a bordo i sovrani delle Due Sicilie, il duca di Calabria, il conte di Trapani, le principesse Carolina Ferdinanda e Amalia con il marito di quest'ultima Sebastiano, e quattro giorni più tardi, alle sette del mattino, giunse a Messina.

A partire dal maggio 1850, per qualche anno, il brigantino fu adibito a campagne d'istruzione per gli Alunni Marinai e Grumetti e per gli Allievi del Collegio di Marina.

Inattiva durante le vicende della primavera-estate del 1860, che avrebbero portato alla caduta del Regno delle Due Sicilie e all'unità d'Italia, la nave, nel settembre 1860, quando Francesco II lasciò Napoli prossima alla caduta per rifugiarsi a Gaeta, era allo «sverno» – in disarmo e con l'equipaggio a ranghi ridotti – e venne aggregata alla squadra sarda del viceammiraglio Carlo Pellion di Persano, seguitando però, di fatto, a restare in disarmo anche nei mesi successivi.

Il 17 marzo 1861 l'Intrepido venne iscritto nel Quadro del Naviglio della neocostituita Regia Marina, classificato come brigantino di II rango. Benché in condizioni non ottimali, che destavano incertezze sulla sua futura longevità e quindi sulle sue reali possibilità di impiego, il brigantino venne portato in bacino di carenaggio e sottoposto a lavori di revisione dello scafo, lasciando il bacino il 17 ottobre 1861 e tornando a essere disarmato nella darsena di Napoli.

Riarmato, nel marzo 1862 l'Intrepido venne assegnato alla flottiglia navi scuola, ma in novembre, a causa del suo scafo che versava in cattive condizioni, dovette essere rimpiazzato dal brigantino Daino e quindi posto in disarmo a Genova in dicembre.

Rimorchiato a Napoli nel febbraio 1863, il brigantino restò in disarmo nel porto partenopeo per i successivi quattro anni. Nuovamente armata nel luglio 1867, la nave fu stazionaria a Napoli sino al marzo 1868, quando venne nuovamente posta in disarmo.

Radiato con Regio Decreto n. 5067 del 9 maggio 1869, l'anziano Intrepido venne avviato alla demolizione.

The usual estimated time for the exploration of a certain country should amount to a casual two week vacation. And sure enough, for the most countries out there, everything beyond that is an overkill. But what happens when you want to visit a country like Australia that covers an entire continent, and has so much to offer that you can easily end up stuck for an entire month there? Well, it really boils down to how ambitious you are, but either way you will have to have a foolproof travel plan and know how to stretch your travel budget over a prolonged period of time. Let us see how you can address these issues.
Essentially, you should search for the transportation that will get you from point A to point B in the most effortless fashion. Fort the start, look for the affordable airliners. Second, make your bookings early because you may get some sort of discount. Third, schedule your flights for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturday evenings, and Sunday mornings when flights tend to have lower prices. Once you leave the airport sharing a taxi with your fellow co-travelers may be the best way to navigate Australian cities.
Finally, the choice of the place where you are going to sleep during your Australian road trip can easily make or break your vacation. What you should do to make it work is to avoid expensive hotels and hostels, and limit yourself to family motels and private accommodation. If you are going to explore some specific area for a prolonged period of time you may even get the best price if you rent an apartment for the entire month. Either way, there are more than enough ways to make arrangements and pay rental deposit online, so you won't have to make ever-pricy last-minute decisions once you get off the plane.
If you follow these few guidelines and tips you should be able the get the most out of the beautiful country we like to call "The Land Down Under" during your vacation. All you have to do now is to sort out your priorities, make few arrangements, pack your bags and your Australian adventure will be ready to start.

Costs too high for visitor centre, says Peachland mayor
The centre costs about $70,000 to operate a year
Peachland's mayor doesn't want the district to renew its contract with the Chamber of Commerce which allows the chamber to operate Peachland's visitor centre, saying the costs could be better utilized to support businesses.
Mayor Cindy Fortin said the cost to the district is roughly $70,000 a year. A few months ago the chamber approached the district wanting to renew its operational contract of the centre that expires in 2020 and change it until 2024, but Fortin thinks otherwise.
"We have a responsibility to the taxpayers. Do we not feel that we could operate the visitor centre for a little bit less money in the age of social media and the ability to look on our phones. I think we need the visitor centre, but I'm wondering if we could do it at a lesser cost," she said. "It's a lot of money."
Fortin said she still wants the chamber to operate it, but some of the money could go towards promoting local business.
RELATED: Hiking in Peachland is about to get a lot easier
"I just think we could do it for less money and do we really want to get into a contract until 2024, at this day and age?"
"I would like to see the building a little bit better," she said, adding that the visitor centre doesn't need to be quite as big or expensive.
She posted a rant in a Facebook group about the costs Friday night, which gathered a fair amount of attention in the group, earning 27 likes and comments as of Saturday afternoon.
The visitor centre is currently operated out of the Historic Peachland School site at 5684 Beach Avenue. Voicemails were left for the Chamber of Commerce and the centre's board of directors Saturday afternoon.

Long hours in the saddle put high stress on your cycling jerseys. Specialized, however, finds it to be a misconception that you can't provide race-ready performance in a package that's built to take some abuse, and for this reason, they created their SL Expert Jersey.
For its construction, Specialized used their venerable VaporRize knit fabrics that provide the optimal blend of moisture management and durability. Not only this, but the materials used have an incredibly soft hand against the skin for all-day comfort on the road.
Of course, you'll also find convenient features like three rear pockets, a sweatproof pocket for housing your electronics, and a full-length front zipper, but you'll also get a Form Fit that makes the SL Expert jersey feel painted on. This detail ensures that the jersey predictably follows all of your movements in the saddle, without leaving any material bunched or flapping in the wind.

Embodied Performativity in Southeast Asia: Multidisciplinary Corporealities
Book Description Table of Contents Editor(s) Instructor Resources Support Material
A collection presenting cutting edge research from music, dance, performance art, fashion and visual arts, written by scholar-practitioners working in Southeast Asia.
This eclectic monograph explores multi-disciplinarily performativity through the body. Exploring the notion of the body as central to creative practice it draws together conversations centring on innovation through embodied knowledge relating to space, time and place. The authors in this collection are leaders in their field and recognized internationally. Their chapters represent new directions in thought and practice by game-changers in the arts. Underpinned by a central theme of corporeality, it is bold and innovative in its scope and range, bringing diverse disciplines together. It enables connections that create new ways of critically exploring corporeality extending beyond physicality and the traditional body-centred areas of performing arts practice.
Insightful and stimulating reading for students, scholars and practitioners across the tertiary arts sector, as well as education, therapy, cultural studies and interdisciplinary arts.
