New JC guidelines for general damages published
Posted on September 20, 2017 by BLM
The 14th Edition of the Judicial College Guidelines for general damages for personal injuries was published on Friday 15 September. The overall increase in guidelines is of around 4.8%, which reflects the increase in RPI since the last edition (published in September 2015).
The foreword to the latest edition suggests that more significant change could be in the mix for the next edition, such as: a new legislative basis for whiplash awards, the further decline of pre-Jackson general damages awards and the potential for the next round of increases to reflect an index other than RPI.
In the meantime, the key changes to note in the 14th edition are the removal of gender differentiation for awards for scarring injuries and overdue confirmation that mesothelioma awards will not usually attract the post-Jackson 10% increase (i.e. the Simmons v Castle increase). In addition to the overall 4.8% increase for RPI, the following changes have also been made.
Scarring. Gender differentiation between awards for scarring has gone, as it was "indefensible" and "an outdated stereotype". The bracket of awards has widened as a result and the focus will be on the individual's subjective views about the scar and whether they have been psychologically affected by the scarring.
Mesothelioma. Most cases will not attract the 10% Simmons v Castle increase, only "a few (if even that)" will have reasons particular to them which would attract the uplift;
PVS. The Judicial College Board felt that a separate category for this type (persistent vegetative state) was not necessary and these awards will fall within existing guidelines.
Technological and medical advances. In more serious cases, the guidelines reflect assessments made by the courts which may have been influenced by current technologies and medicine. The pace of technological and medical advance has been quickening, increasing life spans and extending the length of chronic or lifetime injuries and/or improving function and recuperation. It could therefore be argued in individual cases that such advances may justify an award outside the guidelines.
Duration of symptoms. It is recognised that recovery may not occur at an even pace and could be more marked in the early days of recuperation. "Intelligent application of the Guidelines, rather than too casual a focus on the length of time for which it is said the injury was suffered – perhaps in the light of a report saying that some minor symptoms are ongoing – is called for."
Pre-Jackson cases (more correctly, pre-Simmons cases). Figures remain for these claims given that there are still many cases to which the previous regime applies which have yet to reach a final hearing.
Whiplash. The Government intends to compensate whiplash injuries on a distinct legislative basis. The detail of the proposed legislation was not available at the time of publication but readers are advised to remain alert to such changes – very likely on regulations to be made under powers in the yet-to-be-published Civil Liability Bill 2017/18 – being implemented before publication of the next edition of the guidelines (which we'd expect to be in autumn 2019).

I thought I'd make a quick guide on how to setup a WordPress site with MariaDB and Letsencrypt on Unraid.
Installing MariaDB is pretty straight forward. Im using the linuxserver container. Choose your host port and your MYSQL Root password. I changed the default name and the host port as I already have a MariaDB container running and this container will only be for demonstration purposes.
This is pretty much copy paste from the linuxserver.io guide. No reason to invent the wheel again.
Log into mysql with user root and the password you chose. mysql -uroot -p enter your password.
Next up is creating the database.
Start with creating a user for the database. CREATE USER 'user' IDENTIFIED by 'password'; Where 'user' is your username and 'password' is the password you want for the new user. The ouput will be like this.
Container Path: /config Install the container config to your desired location.
Next is portforwarding. This is done on your router and you need to forward port 80 to the port you chose in step 1. You also need to forward port 443 to 444 or the one you chose. So if your servers ip is 192.168.1.2 and you have chosen that the container is on port 81, you need to forward all traffic on port 80 to port 81 on ip 192.168.1.2 And do the same for port 443. If you're unsure how to do this on your router check out: Portforward.com Next go to https://yourserverip:444 or http://yourserverip:81 If you now see the Nginx welcome page, it works. Also test if yourdomain.com redirects you to the nginx welcome page.
Note: TTL differs from each provider, some has a minimum 60 minutes before DNS propagates and others have 1 minute. So it might take a while before https://yourdomain.com works.
If you already have letsencrypt setup and working with a domain and want to use another domain for your wordpress site you can do that by using the EXTRA_DOMAINS variable.
Go to the letsencrypt appdata location. Find the nginx folder and then edit the file called "default" in the "site-conf" folder. I recommend using notepad++ Below is my server block that I use for https://technicalramblings.com The location /wp-adminandlocation /wp-login.php is for stopping any bruteforce attempts on logging into the admin page of the site. Read more here If you want to Geo block your site read more here Replace/add the contents of the default file with the server block below. Modifying it to use your domain of course.
If you are already using the default file I recommend creating another file in the site-confs folder. It's much easier to work with separate config files than one huge one. You can call it blog.conf or domain.conf etc. your choice.
## READ THE COMMENT ON add_header X-Frame-Options AND add_header Content-Security-Policy IF YOU USE THIS ON A SUBDOMAIN YOU WANT TO IFRAME!
add_header X-Robots-Tag none; #SET THIS TO index IF YOU WANT GOOGLE TO INDEX YOU SITE!
add_header Content-Security-Policy "frame-ancestors https://*.$server_name https://$server_name"; ## Use *.domain.com, not *.sub.domain.com (*.$server_name) when using this on a sub-domain that you want to iframe!
add_header X-Frame-Options "ALLOW-FROM https://*.$server_name" always; ## Use *.domain.com, not *.sub.domain.com (*.$server_name) when using this on a sub-domain that you want to iframe!
proxy_cookie_path / "/; HTTPOnly; Secure"; ##NOTE: This may cause issues with unifi. Remove HTTPOnly; or create another ssl config for unifi.
Another tip is to uncomment the Gzip Settings. This will help with page loading times. And make sure you have all the gzip_types you need. I have also added caching below the gzip lines.
This will set the maximum upload size to 25MB. Adjust the value to suit your needs. Remember to restart the container after you have made any changes to any config files.
By going to yourdomain.com you should be greeted with the WordPress setup page.
Read through the next prompt. Click Let's go!
Click run installer Enter your Site Title, username, password and email.

Yes the Frigidaire is just wonderful and my Dad really enjoys it! Thank you!
Been using for over a month now. very happy with the convenience of getting to what you need.
Love the space. Upon arrival, however, the freezer drawer quickly became off/balance so that the freezer drawer did not close properly, leaving a gap on one side. We were able to remedy after discussing with a friend in the business. One other suggestion - the water/ice dispenser works well and the appearance is pleasing, but the lettering is not illuminated. It's difficult to see the words without turning on a room light to illuminate the front of the door. A great suggestion would be to have back lighting on those words.
We bought this refrigerator about a month ago and really love how spacious it is and the smudge proof is great. The adjustable and tall shelves are great and can fit whatever you need to have in the refrigerator.

Hollywood disaster film set to turn heat on Bush
Movie depicting horrors of global warming could boost votes for Democrat challenger
Dan Glaister in Los Angeles
Fri 12 Mar 2004 20.35 EST First published on Fri 12 Mar 2004 20.35 EST
Here's the pitch: a dullish candidate, outflanked by his opponent's serious money, attacked for his liberal leanings, is swept to an unlikely victory thanks to a blockbuster movie that focuses on the effects of big business and the agro-industrial complex.
Audiences throw their popcorn aside, pick up their ballot papers and realise that they too can make a difference. The studio behind the movie: 20th Century Fox, owned by Rupert Murdoch. The director: Roland Emmerich; no Martin Sheen-style bleeding heart Democrat but the brawn behind Independence Day.
It sounds unlikely, but this summer might just see an alliance of commerce, populist entertainment and feel-good concern combine to weaken President George Bush and hand votes to his expected Democrat rival John Kerry.
On the other hand, the film could tank, like one of its director's other monster-budget summer openings, Godzilla.
May 28 sees the worldwide release of The Day After Tomorrow, the eco-armageddon story to beat all others.
The first trailers for the film, released on the internet last week, give a taste of the scale of the eco-horrors to come. Filmed in a combination of slick computer generated special effects and faux newscast verité, tidal waves sweep across cities and snow piles halfway up the towers of Manhattan as disjointed voices articulate the chaos around them.
"What you are seeing is happening now," says a breathless newsreader. "Look over behind me," shouts a TV reporter, "that's a tornado, yes, a twister." The film cuts to a volcano erupting next to the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles. A huge flock of birds flies across the sky, a mass of people is seen crossing the Rio Grande between Mexico and the United States.
Filmed with a budget of more than $100m (£55.6m) and special effects said to be the greatest thing since, well, since the last big budget movie, the film has one other difference from other Hollywood blockbusters: it has a conscience.
"At some point during the filming we looked around at all the lights, generators and trucks and we realised the very process of making this picture is contributing to the problem of global warming," the director and producers say in a statement on the film's official website. "We couldn't avoid putting CO2 into the atmosphere during the shoot, but we discovered we could do something to make up for it; we could make the film carbonneutral." By planting trees they will take out the CO2 the production put in.
The film's website includes a lengthy list of internet links to organisations that have researched the effects of global warming. During filming last year, Emmerich described the film as "a popcorn movie that's actually a little subversive".
Whether this is the typical hype that surrounds a Hollywood blockbuster or the heartfelt statement of a tortured artist does not really matter. What seems certain is that the film will help to propel global warming and the environment high up the political agenda.
President Bush is known to be sceptical about the possibility of global warming, while the environment is a traditional strong card for the Democrats. With issues such as oil drilling rights in Alaska playing strongly among some voters, the president's opponents have regularly attacked him for the favouritism he is perceived to have shown to the fossil fuel giants that dominate the US economy.
The Pentagon even got in on the act, releasing a study last month that suggested that one outcome of global warming could be the rise of mass civil unrest. In one scenario, drought, famine and rioting erupt across the world, spurred on by climate change. As countries face dwindling food supplies and scarce natural resources, conflict becomes the norm.
"Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life," says the Pentagon study. "Once again, warfare would define human life."
"The climate is going to play a significant role in the campaign," said Luke Breit, chairman of the Democrat's environmental caucus in California, where the environment is traditionally a key political issue. "John Kerry is mentioning clean air and water at every opportunity. It's going to be on the first tier of issues. Our job is to make clear how anti-environment the government has been."
But while it can be fortuitous for an event such as a mass appeal movie to come along and propel an issue to the forefront of voters' consciousness, there are also pitfalls. "The danger is it could make it look more trivial," said Mr Breit. "My guess is that people in the environmental leadership around the country are holding their breath. I'm hoping that it's going to be very good and that we have great entertainment value but that at the same time it treats the science seriously."
One US environmental pressure group has already enlisted the help of one of the film's stars, Jake Gyllenhaal, to help promote its agenda while promoting the film.
The Day After Tomorrow's advance publicity suggests a typical Hollywood mix of fact, fantasy and hype: fake weather reports and testimonies from fans about where they would like to be the day the world dies are mixed with earnest exhortations to help avert global warming.
And Hollywood has been here before. The Perfect Storm, Armageddon and Twister all combined Hollywood's love of little people battling insurmountable natural - and unnatural - powers while giving great special effects.
"In Independence Day Roland Emmerich brought you the near destruction of the earth by aliens," says the website. "Now, in The Day After Tomorrow, the enemy is an even more devastating force: nature itself." It'll have them voting in the aisles.

Johannes Haarklou (Haukedalen, Førde, 13 mei 1847 – Christiania, 26 november 1925) was een Noors componist, organist en muziekpedagoog.

Achtergrond
Johannes Haarklou groeide op in het gezin van boer, leraar en kerkzanger Ole Nielsen Dversdal (1815-1872) en Orlaug Andersdatter Haarklou (1808-1870). Hij werd geboren op de boerderij Hårklou (ook wel Hårklau en Haarklau), vandaar dat zijn naam verwijst naar zijn moeder.

Hij trouwde in 1887 met Inga Marie Knoph (Langesund, 2 maart 1865- Kristiansand, 16 oktober 1947), dochter van koopman Ingebret Knoph en Malene Aslaksen (geboren 1825). Ze kregen voor zover bekend vier kinderen:
dochter Orlaug Haarklou (1 juli 1888-27 november 1978), huwde met apotheker Simon Svensson (geboren 12 februari 1885 te Larvik, overleden 1965 te Kristiansand)
dochter Ingeborg Haarklou (1890-28 april 1897)
zoon Øystein Olav Haarklou (4 januari 1894- 30 april 1980)
zoon Andreas Nicolai Haarklou (11 november 1896-24 januari 1979).

Johannes Haarklou was eigenlijk voorbestemd om zijn vader op te volgen als boer, maar zijn toekomst zag hij meer in een leraarschap. Hij studeerde daarvoor af in 1868 aan het Stord seminarium. Hij werd leraar in Eiker.

Hij overleed in Oslo op 1925, in 1927 werd een gedenkmonument op zijn ouderlijke boerderij neergezet. In Oslo is een Haarklous plass (plein) naar hem genoemd.

Muziek
Hij ontdekte zijn liefde voor muziek en ging in de leer bij Christian Cappelen en later bij Ludvig Mathias Lindeman, de volksmuziekverzamelaar. Dat was in zijn ogen nog niet genoeg; hij vertrok in de zomer van 1873 naar het Conservatorium van Leipzig. In Duitsland was een van zijn docenten Carl Reinecke. In 1876 ging hij terug naar Noorwegen om als organist de kost te verdienen in de Tangenkerk te Drammen. Hij was ook enige tijd penningmeester van het Schäfferslegaat. Het verdiende geld ging op aan een nieuw bezoek aan Leipzig, alwaar de eerste ontmoeting tussen hem en Edvard Grieg plaatsvond.

Vanuit Leipzig trok hij naar Bergen, destijds het culturele centrum van Noorwegen. Hij dirigeerde daar ook in februari 1877 zijn eerste orkestwerk, een Festmarsj. Hij kreeg wederom financiële ondersteuning en kon een jaar studeren aan de Musikhochschule in Berlin. In 1878 gaf hij opnieuw een concert, nu in de kerk en daar speelde ook Ole Bull. Opnieuw vertrok hij naar Berlijn om even later op te duiken in Christiania.

Van 1883 tot 1920 was hij de organist van de Sagene geloofsgemeenschap en later in de Gamle Aker kirke. Als organist hield hij zich niet al te strak aan de muzikale voorschriften; hij werd bekend als prima improvisator op het kerkorgel. Hij organiseerde in diezelfde tijd volksconcerten en vanaf 1889 kwam ook het dirigentschap verder van de grond met optredens in Kopenhagen, Berlijn en Leipzig. Van 1889 tot 1896 gaf hij les in harmonieleer en compositie aan het Conservatorium van Oslo. In aanvulling op zijn werkzaamheden schreef hij ook muziekkritieken. Hij leefde op gespannen voet met de drie "grote" Noorse componisten Edvard Grieg, Johan Svendsen en Christian Sinding. Hij kwam niet uit hun schaduw. Zijn relatie met Grieg werd slechter. Zekere toen Haarklou voor het muziekfeest van Bergen een orkest uit Oslo wilde uitnodigen, maar Grieg (toch baas in muzikaal Bergen) koos voor het Amsterdamse Concertgebouworkest.

Hij ontving vanaf 1910 een staatsinkomen en in 1991 werd hij verheven tot ridder in de Orde van Sint Olaf. In 1917 kreeg hij nog financiële ondersteuning van het inmiddels onafhankelijke Noorwegen om een deel van zijn werken in Duitsland te laten drukken. Haarklou stond in de 19e eeuw nog in het middelpunt van het Noorse muziekleven, maar daarna zakte dat danig weg en namen zijn drie grootste concurrenten Grieg, Sinding en Svendsen het over.

Werken
Zijn muziek was enige tijd populair in Noorwegen, vooral zijn muziek voor orgel met een speciale nadruk op twee orgelsymfonieen en Fantasie triomphale. Andere werken van hem zijn Tord Foleson en Varde en Fernir op tekst van Per Sivle en zijn oratorium Skabelsen og Mennesket op tekst van Henrik Wergeland. Hij schreef vijf opera's en vier symfonieen. Opera Marisagnet werd in 1910 zestien keer opgevoerd in het Nationaltheatret. Andere werken die nog enige bekendheid genieten zijn zijn lied Med røde rosen op tekst van Knut Hamsun en zijn Vioolsonate in g mineur. Zijn composities zijn veelal gebaseerd op de rijke volksmuziek in Noorwegen. Hij hield in beginsel wel een opuslijst aan, maar er waren zoveel onuitgebrachte werken van hem, dat er in 1961 een nieuwe lijst werd gemaakt in een studie aan de Universiteit van Oslo (Finn Benestad: Johannes Haarklou, Mannen og verket).

PORTLAND, Ore. – Playing their final home game of the 2016 PDL season, the Portland Timbers U-23s gave up an early goal and were unable to mount a comeback, falling 1-0 to Washington Crossfire at Delta Park on Saturday night.
Searching for an equalizer, the Timbers U-23s (2-7-4, 10pts) created a number of scoring opportunities in the second half. In the 59th minute, midfielder Edson Martinez's cross from the right wing found forward Jordan Jones, who's right-footed shot just missed the frame. Defender Niko De Vera carried the ball from his own half and fired a shot at Crossfire goalkeeper Saif Kerawala, which he saved in the 68th minute.

With all the hype and excitement prior to this big event I made sure to arrive a few days ahead of the race to give myself enough time to prepare and join in on some of the pre-events that the race has to offer. I was in Roth as a spectator last year so I knew how crazy it will get come race day.
Training wise I had cut down a lot on volume and intensity in the last 3 weeks leading into the race. Learning from last year's Ironman where I felt a little bit tired and not 100% fresh on race day. This year I wanted to be 100% fresh and race ready, trusting in my hard work that I have put in the months before.
The days before the race I felt very relaxed and comfortable but at the same time I was also very focused and determine. My biggest worry was the weather forecast to be honest. It was predicted to be a very hot day and I know that racing in heat can be a big limiter. But rather than worrying too much I tried to focus on the things that I can control such as my pacing strategy and the fuelling. I had put down a plan for that so I said to myself there is nothing to worry about. On my 5-hour drive to Roth the days before I was listening to some of the podcasts from Matt where he discussed how to race in the heat and how to manage the terrain. That gave me some more confidence going into the race. I was well prepared.
To make sure I didn't fall into a lethargic state prior to race day I kept the body active by doing an open water swim to check out the swim course, rode some of challenging parts of the bike course and went on two more runs. Nothing crazy really. The body felt good and that removed the worries. I was ready for it and probably in the best fitness and readiness shape that I have ever been so far.
I arrived very early on race morning to give myself a lot of time to set everything up and spend some more time with my friends and family who joined me in the morning. Everything went smooth and by the time I finished setting up T1 I had more than 1 hour to go before my wave went off. The place around T1 was filling up quickly with spectators and I have never seen so many people lining up to watch the swim start of a race. It was brilliant and the atmosphere was electric.
The warmup area didn't really allow to do a proper warmup, so I did a few mobility drills to loosen up my shoulder joints and some breathing exercises to calm down the nerves and get focused. In the warmup area, there were also all the pros getting ready so it gave the feeling that we are all in this together as we must go through the same.
You could tell that the tension was building up and everyone was ready to race. The place by this time was pumping. Thousands of people lined up along the canal and on the bridge and it gave me some goose pumps when I entered the water to start the swim. I have never seen such a big crowd in a race before.
Once the gun went off for my wave I let the fast guys take off and then I settled into my own rhythm. It was a big group with a lot of guys so the first few hundred meters were a bit hectic. I didn't let myself get distracted and just focused on my own swimming. Finding a rhythm wasn't that easy but after a few hundred meters I got into it and started to swim smooth and very controlled. Knowing that it will be a long and hot day out there I was swimming at a comfortable place. The rest of the swim was pretty un event full. It was an almost straight-line swim with 2 turns. By the time I was making my way back to the swim start I thought that it was a slower swim than usual. On the last few hundred meters you could hear the noise of all the spectators. Every now and then I took a glimpse on the side and there were just people everywhere. It was unreal!
When I exited the water, and ran into T1 I just had a look at my watch and too my surprise it showed a time of 59 minutes. That was a 1 minute quicker than my last Ironman swim. Happy with that I flew through T1 and by the big applause of all the spectators I got onto my bike and off I went for lap one of the 2 lap bike course.
My plan for the bike was to not go out too hard on the first 15km and stick to my power. I was surprised how quickly I got into a good rhythm so it was hard to hold back and not get too excited. I managed the first 2 inclines on the first 20km well and my legs felt good. The road to the first longer climb in Greding was mostly flat. I put my head down and settled into a strong but sustainable effort. I was passing a lot of riders on the first 50km. Prior to the race I rode the Kalvarienberg climb so I knew what to expect. On the day, it was filled with a lot of spectators who were pushing you up the hill. I sticked to my plan and didn't go overboard on this one. Controlled and strong, lower cadence, higher power, getting out of the saddle and pushing over the top of the hill. Easy stuff I thought, it felt good and the climb didn't do much damage. From there onwards the ride continued to be smooth. I managed the technical downhill sections not too bad this time. Listening a couple of times to Matt's and Paul's talk about managing terrain helped 😉 Riding downhill is still a weakness where I lose time, so more practice needed. The road conditions were perfect and there were not too many riders on the road, so I kept some good momentum on the downhill parts.
One of the highlights was definitely Solar Hill. When I took the last turn before the climb I couldn't believe what I saw (or didn't see haha). There were just spectators everywhere. Thousands of them and it was almost impossible to see the road as it was just packed with people. I had no one in front of me riding when I started my Solar Hill climb and the crowd just went ballistic. I had a big smile on my face as I was climbing up the hill. Amongst the big crowd I spotted my family and friends which was awesome. I could tell they had as much fun as I did. I soaked up the energy I got from the crowd and it felt great. The last 20km of the first lap went by way too quick and I couldn't believe that I was already on my second lap. This was too easy, right?
After the first lap, I did a quick check how I was progressing. My average power was spot on where expected it to be and I was also happy with my average speed knowing that I haven't overcooked the first lap and still have plenty of energy left for lap two. I continued my second lap and pretty much executed it the same way as the first one. After the race, I checked my data and my second lap was only 20 seconds slower than the first one. I thought that was pretty good.
Before the race I put big hopes into my run performance as I have developed some good resilience and run fitness in the last couple of months. Looking back at my first Ironman experience last year, I experienced firsthand what it's like to run a marathon in an Ironman. So, I was prepared to suffer and struggle but trusted in all the work that I have done.
It took me 2-3 km until I found a good rhythm. First, I experienced some pain in my left food sole which just dissolved and never returned during the race. I took on some nutrition at the start of the run and my plan was to stick with Gel + Water as long as possible. The first 10km went by pretty quickly and I felt really good holding my target race pace of 4:45min/km. I was confident to maintain that pace as the heat was not as bad as initially thought.
The new run course in Roth has its new challenges. In the 2 lap course there are longer inclines that are quite challenging. Once I passed km 15 I started to notice a level of fatigue and heaviness in my legs building up. At this stage I wasn't overly worried and kept pushing. As the run went on it was harder and harder to maintain a good rhythm and pace. The up and downhill running made it difficult to maintain a good pace and I started to struggle. My pace dropped to about 5:00-5:10 min/km and it was a battle to hold it. After the first two laps (km22) my energy levels dropped again and I knew that very soon I need to get more sugar into my body to stay alert and focused. The temperature started to raise as well and at the km 25 mark the pain was real and the mental game was full on. The great support and the massive crowds on the run course helped me a lot to get through this part of the race. Knowing I still had to run out to Büchenbach on the last lap was hard to swallow (that is a long incline), especially as you run past the finish a couple of times during the race. I had to put my act together at this point. I took walk breaks at every aid station to take in nutrition. Coke and water on the last 1hr of the run. I cooled down the body as much as possible to avoid overheating. The legs were in limbo state and very stiff and heavy. Turning the legs over became a real struggle but I said to myself, it's only 1 hr to go. Other runners on the course, the atmosphere and the thought of the pre-race food and massage lifted my spirit. I pushed through the pain and fatigue and was even able to pick up the pace again on the last few km.
The last 2km to the finish line were awesome. You run through the city centre where thousands of people are celebrating and cheering you on. It was such a good moment in my triathlon career. I really enjoyed that part the most, knowing I am so close to home and delivered a good race. I was just happy and satisfied. On the last few hundred meters I saw my parents and friends, I hugged them and everyone was just happy and proud as well. Passing the finish line in Roth was a moment in my life I will always remember. Crossing the finish line in the biggest and most spectacular triathlon in the world, was a good reminder why I love this sport so much.
At the end of the day everyone participating in such a race has their own reasons. I think you need to have a strong "WHY" to be successful in this sport in your own terms. I realised that when I watched the last finisher crossing the line and the emotions, celebrations and feelings that go along with that. It's not about winning or setting PBs that make you a great athlete, it's about what you create for yourself and other people around you. I was inspired by people who didn't race to win, I was inspired by the impact they can have on other people. We are very privileged to be able to do this sport and I think to give back some of that inspiration and positivity to other people is very important. At least for me and I hope that my journey in this sport can inspire and influence as many people as possible so that they can find their own path to live a more passionate, fulfilling and happy life!
For now, I am going to enjoy 2 easy weeks of no structured training before I get all my energy focused again for the last built for Ironman Italy End of September.

Woman Arrested in Alleged MS-13 Stature Slaying: Police
A third suspect has been charged with murder in the death of a Long Island man who police said was lured into to a car with promises of marijuana and sex only to be killed by MS-13 members hoping to boost their stature in the ruthless street gang.
Laura Christina Campos, 28, was arrested on murder charges in the death of Julio Cesar Gonzales-Espantzay, 28-year-old Valley Stream man whose body was discovered in March. Carlos Portillo, 22, and Kevin Granados-Coreas, 19, were both previously arrested in the brutal January slaying.
After the first two arrests, authorities said that Gonzales-Espantzay was killed by a larger group; it's not clear if authorities think there are additional suspects in his death.
Authorities said that after the first death that Granados-Coreas befriended the Gonzales-Espantzay in his Valley Stream neighborhood in late 2016. They said the victim was not a gang member but was lured into a car on Jan. 28 and taken to the Massapequa Preserve, where he was stabbed and slashed to death with knives and machetes by members of the gang.
His body was found nearly two months later by a man walking his dog.
Gonzales-Espantzay's death and those of at least 20 other people in Nassau and Suffolk counties have drawn the attention of federal authorities and President Donald Trump, who tweeted and spoke on efforts to stamp out MS-13 on Long Island.
MS-13, or the Mara Salvatrucha, is believed by federal prosecutors to have thousands of members across the U.S., primarily immigrants from Central America. It has a stronghold in Los Angeles, where it emerged in the 1980s as a neighborhood street gang, but also has wreaked violence in cities and suburbs across the United States.

eMarketer recently called mobile marketing the "linchpin" of retailer success this past holiday season. MarketLive's Performance Index for Q4 2014 alone revealed that mobile traffic grew 47 percent, while smartphone-driven purchases resulted in mobile revenue increases of more than 100 percent. In short, you can't afford to not have a mobile marketing strategy for your business. Here are some simple ways you can implement a mobile marketing strategy — even if you don't consider yourself a mobile marketer.
Aside from customer experience and an increased likelihood that you'll convert visitors into buyers, having a mobile-friendly website that features a responsive design is no longer just nice to have; it's a requirement to being perceived as credible — at least in the eyes of Google. As of April 21, Google will include "mobile friendliness" as part of their criteria for determining search engine rank. The factors Google will use to determine mobile usability include: content flow (users shouldn't have to scroll horizontally or pinch the screen to see a page), whether a site uses appropriately sized fonts for mobile device screens, the use of mobile-friendly spacing between touch elements, and whether a site includes software that most mobile devices don't support, like Flash.
AdWeek recently noted that nearly 80 percent of customers ages 18 to 44 carry their mobile device with them for 22 hours a day. The benefit of such consumer mobile dependence is that you can now transform your existing customer demographics, search pattern and marketing response intelligence into messages and promotions that reach a highly targeted audience at the exact right moment, thanks to the geo-location capabilities mobile devices offer.
Regardless of your budget or industry, any small business can execute mobile-based social media campaigns by connecting with customers via geolocation capabilities offered by social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Foursquare and Facebook. Entice them to "check in" and interact with loyalty programs, special discount offers or rewards. Assuming you've received customer permission to contact via text messages, there are also affordable tools that allow you to text message a highly targeted audience with limited-time promotions or offers, based on your real-time business needs and the customer's location based on mobile use. Regardless of the tool you use, mobile marketing campaigns centered on location are an extremely cost effective (and in some cases, free) means to connecting with your audience at the perfect time: when they're preparing to make a purchase — but haven't yet made the final purchase decision.
Movable Ink research conducted in 2014 revealed that nearly 70 percent of emails are opened on a mobile device. As Ken Burke, founder and CEO of MarketLive recently explained to eMarketer, those statistics make email a critical marketing tool for any small business looking to capture new prospects and customers on mobile devices — even if the customer doesn't ultimately purchase with their mobile device. Much like a responsive mobile site design, emails must be easy for mobile users to read and navigate.
Experts at MailChimp recommend that emails are most conducive to mobile use when designed with a "one eyeball, one thumb, and one arm's length" in mind. To optimize email-driven mobile marketing campaigns, email font sizes shouldn't be smaller than 17 or 18 pixels, and call to action buttons should be at least 46 pixels squared. Any call to action buttons the user might select, either for more product information, to redeem promotions, to connect with your business via phone, email or chat, or to purchase should take mobile users directly to the appropriate "next step," quickly and seamlessly.
Mobile coupons are an affordable and customer-friendly means to giving prospects and customers a compelling reason to choose you over a competitor. If your business is listed on a free web-based maps and customer review tool (and it should be), explore whether the service allows you to design a mobile coupon offered specifically to users of that site. (Many offer businesses the option to design and activate the feature free of charge.) Customers who wish to redeem the offer simply "claim" the coupon, and present it on their mobile device at the time of sale, for easy redemption — no printing or manual coupon-tracking required.
Now that most of the global population owns a smartphone, businesses of all sizes have come to terms with the future of marketing: it's all about mobile. Whether you're experimenting with free mobile coupons offered by map and review sites or partnering with a mobile marketing provider to tailor customized SMS text messages to your audience, mobile marketing is a cost efficient way to reach a highly targeted audience — exactly where they are, at the exact moment they're ready to buy.

Digging Up the Past: Contested Territories and Women Archaeologists in 1780s Britain and Ireland
This paper unpacks the gender, political and material implications of archaeological excavations carried out by Elizabeth Rawdon, Countess of Moira (1731-1808) and Catherine Downes (dates unknown) in 1780s Ireland and England, respectively. Locating their endeavours within increasingly contested territories (in terms of the landscapes in which their enquires took place and the scholarly spaces in which they were reported), I ask why and how women disbarred from all-male knowledge institutions turned instead to developing archaeological practice in order to contribute historiographically. For the Countess, whose Dublin salon hosted Anglo-Irish antiquaries interested in a Celtic past, the discovery of a bog body on her husband's land became part of a wider programme in legitimizing her own socio-political position. Similarly, for Downes, the careful prioritising of Roman archaeology over the remains of an Ancient British burial at Warminster spoke to contemporary discourses in which the Roman occupation became a desirable colonial model. In both cases, remains had first been discovered by local agricultural workers before being disseminated in elite circles, setting this work against backdrop of mounting tensions around land enclosure and occupation. From Downes' comparison of Roman pottery fragments with 'Mr. Wedgwood's teapots,' to the Countess's linking of clothing preserved on the bog body to her efforts to revive Ireland's textile industry, I examine these women's historical interpretation through subterranean and contemporary objects, as well as the political implications in bringing the past to the surface. Dr Madeleine Pelling is an art historian specialising in eighteenth-century Britain. She completed her PhD in 2018 at the University of York, where she was the recipient of the History of Art Department doctoral scholarship. She has held postdoctoral fellowships at the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh, and the John Rylands Research Institute at the University of Manchester, as well as visiting research fellowships at the Royal Archives through the Georgian Papers Programme, the British Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies/Queen Mary University London and the Lewis Walpole Library at Yale University. Her research focuses on material and visual culture, with focus on four key sites: the collected object, the manuscript, the inscribed surface, and the cinematic screen. Her work appears in Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, Journal 18: a journal of eighteenth-century art and culture, Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal and Women's History Review and she is currently preparing a monograph, The Duchess's Museum: Collecting, Craft and Conversation, for publication.

I listened to a rather long discussion of the politics of a nonofficial/nonexistent student organzation at mit.
and the groups which did form were stunted and dull.
mit is insane. now where's my time machine? I have to go back to 1996 now.
