The Year of Cycling Dangerously
Riding from Cairo to Cape Town in 1938
Story by David V. Herlihy | Photos Courtesy of the Ingersoll Cheese and Agricultural Museum

In 1937, 27-year-old Canadian Douglas Carr was holed up in a dingy Salvation Army hostel in Rome, Italy, with Dietrich, a.k.a. "Dutchy." The tall, bearded Dutchman had just extended a thrilling — and chilling — challenge: would Carr care to cycle with him to Johannesburg at the base of Africa, some 7,000 miles due south?
It was a daunting proposition given the evident danger they would have to face traversing scorching deserts and dense jungles on nonexistent roads. Wasn't the continent fraught with wild animals, not to mention lethal ticks? And wouldn't they be virtually cut off from civilization? Even with an equally foolhardy companion by his side, how could this prove anything but a suicide mission?
Doug Carr (right) and his traveling companion Dutchy, stop by a roadside marker east of Tobruch Libya, 22 kilometres from the Egyptian border and 1,800 kilometers from where they had started in Tunisia.
Carr had already tested his verve over the past seven months since leaving his parents' comfortable middle-class home in faraway Ingersoll, Ontario, a sleepy agricultural town known for its cheddar cheese. And wasn't he the one who had insisted, when he set sail for England, that "there must be something more rewarding than selling shoes in a depression?" So what hurry was there to get back home? Why not see a little more of the world before settling down somewhere?
After all, he was already an able cyclist. His original plan was simply to attend the coronation of King George VI, but weather-imposed delays on the high seas had kept him from making that ceremony at Westminster Abbey. So he decided to travel around the kingdom instead — the way George's subjects did. He purchased a sturdy bicycle with a three-speed hub at Selfridge's department store in London and registered with the Cycle Touring Club and the Youth Hostel Association. He proceeded on a delightful two-month, 2,000-mile tour of the British Isles.
To be sure, he was no superman. He didn't even look athletic with his thick glasses, receding hairline, and his meager 140-pound, 5-foot 10-inch frame. Truth be told, he was so stiff and sore after that first day of riding — 70 miles from London to Cambridge — that he lounged for an entire day in his hostel bed. But his body adjusted admirably, and he had since gained complete confidence in his vim and stamina.
Moreover, he was no stranger to adversity. That July he took his bicycle to France and, after visiting the World's Fair in Paris and touring the Loire Valley, he headed toward Germany. He wanted to see for himself what the fearful Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler was really up to. As if to steel himself for the shock, he purposely rode past the grim military cemeteries dotting the Belgian countryside and crossed the notorious battlefields where, only a generation earlier, millions of young men had perished.
Riding through the picturesque Netherlands, Carr at last reached Germany. He had no quarrel with the "eminently likable" locals, but he could not help but notice an alarming proliferation of soldiers and weaponry as well as a stunning new infrastructure designed to facilitate military maneuvers. "It's the same old story," Carr lamented. "The ordinary man is a good Joe. It's the darn governments that create problems."
After hunkering down for three straight nights of blackout rehearsals prompted by the visit of the Italian leader Benito Mussolini, Carr no longer doubted that Europe was indeed marching mindlessly toward another world war. And he knew full well that he would soon return to this beautiful but troubled land — as a soldier, not a tourist.
Carr had already weathered a few misadventures of his own. Following his forays into Denmark and Sweden and his exhilarating ride over the Alps, he sold his bicycle to the manager of the American Express office in Lucerne, Switzerland. Ambushed moments later by hostile Swiss officials, he faced an ultimatum — either pay the equivalent of 10 Canadian dollars for his failure to report the sale of his bicycle or spend the next 20 days in jail. After some consideration, the budget-minded Carr grudgingly paid up.
After reaching fascist Italy by train, Carr once again clashed with the local authorities. One morning in Florence, he tried to photograph King Vittorio Emanuele III entering the Duomo. Three irate policemen pounced on Carr, ordering him to stop taking photographs. They let him go only after they had examined his passport and rifled through his belongings.
Still, despite all the challenges that he had already tackled abroad, at no point had he ever felt that his life was in any real danger. Was he really ready now to court death in Africa and perhaps even a tortuous one at that?
"Of course, I'll go with you," he assured Dutchy after a moment of reflection. Carr would later explain his reasoning: "Here was my chance to have a companion and to travel down Africa from north to south. He was a little older than I, spoke several languages, and had a tent. What was I waiting for?"
Carr promptly got himself a new set of wheels at a bicycle store in central Rome. After parting with the equivalent of 21 Canadian dollars, he exited with a fancy gold Venanzi equipped with sew-up tires and the latest Vittoria Margherita three-speed derailer.
Carr and Dutchy cycled together down the coast to Pompeii, the ancient city destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. From Naples they sailed to Palermo, Sicily, and then on to North Africa, where Carr's year of cycling dangerously was about to begin.

For the first time, Carr found himself in an entirely unfamiliar culture. Everything seemed white in Tunis — the domes of its mosques, its buildings, even the clothes of its inhabitants. Only the women's veils, it seemed, were dark. "I thought it strange," he would recollect, "that the husband alone had the privilege of looking at his wife's face."
Still, Carr adjusted quickly to his new environs. He and Dutchy explored the exotic city's narrow, twisting streets and alleys. At the bazaars, they jostled with the locals, haggled for their provisions, and admired the handmade brass trinkets and colorful carpets on display. All the while, they took in refreshing whiffs of coffee, flowers, and perfumes. In the evenings, they patronized smoky Arab eateries where they feasted on couscous.
After a few days of loitering, it was time to finally start cycling in Africa. The two tourists planned to hug the Mediterranean coast all the way to Cairo via Italian-occupied Libya. Carr was well packed for the challenge. His gear included a camera, a rubber mat, blankets, and an inflatable mattress and pillow. All told, the loaded bicycle weighed 10 pounds more than he did.
Sharing a fine road with donkeys, camels, and carts, they passed olive orchards, vineyards, and flocks of goats and sheep. A battered signpost informed them that Tripoli was still a good 700 miles away. They were occasionally delayed by flat tires, which they became quite proficient at repairing.
Desiring to see the great mosque of Sidi Okba, the oldest in Algeria, they made a side trip to the west, across a desert. It was well worth the extra effort just to see the holy site's huge courtyard, stunning prayer hall, and array of shiny marble columns. From its graceful minaret, they took in a spectacular view of the old city, famous for its carpets and copperware.
Heading east once again, they came across the ruins of a Roman amphitheater. One starry night, soldiers of the French Foreign Legion, which held sway over that region, invited them to stay at their camp. "We sat around their campfire at night," Carr would recall, "eating their food and listening to their stories. I didn't know how tough they were supposed to be. They seemed like ordinary fellows to me." When the cyclists left the next morning, they were pleasantly surprised to find that their hosts had slipped provisions into their bags.
After several futile attempts to get past the Italian authorities at the Libyan border, the cyclists were at last allowed to proceed after promising not to dawdle on their way to Egypt. They cruised along on the new, Italian-built "hard-topped" highway, which they had virtually to themselves. They admired a number of ongoing irrigation and construction projects. The new rulers were also busy "piecing together" the vestiges of the ancient Roman civilization that had once flourished there.
The cyclists pushed through storms of dust and rain — the first downfall in that arid locality in over a year. At last, they reached the capital city of Tripoli. For Carr, that Christmas would prove unique. He was far away from his family, it was raining, not snowing, and there was barely a trace of any decorations or festivities. At least he got to ride a camel for the first time.
The friendly Egyptian border police insisted that the cyclists sit down with them for tea. Carr, a nonsmoker, reluctantly puffed on the cigarette they passed around, knowing that "it would have been an insult not to accept their hospitality." Shortly thereafter, at the customs house, the tourists used traveler's checks to purchase local currency, paid duties on their bicycles, and chatted with the officials in English.
After having spent the past month sailing along Mussolini's highway for over 1,000 miles, the cyclists now found themselves rumbling over narrow, stony roads. Passing through villages with flat-roofed buildings made of sun-dried mud bricks, they encountered fawning inhabitants who offered them food and water. The locals were in a festive mood, dancing and playing music all night, as they celebrated the marriage of the young King Farouk.
In the great port city of Alexandria, Carr happily collected his first batch of letters, newspapers, and parcels since leaving Rome. He also feasted on sumptuous Egyptian delicacies served up by the locals who were celebrating the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting. All was not rosy, however. He and Dutchy had had a falling out, and they decided to go separate ways.
After reaching the ancient Egyptian capital, Carr became a typical tourist. He checked into a hotel and took in the sights. He explored the tombs of the pharaohs, gawked at the mysterious Sphinx, and climbed the Great Pyramid. All the while, he marveled at how the ancients could possibly have produced such massive and sophisticated wonders.
Soon, however, Carr would get an insider's view of the modern city he deemed "a kaleidoscope of East and West, Old and New." A friendly Egyptian storekeeper named Yusef persuaded Carr to move in with him and his wife Zakia. Carr would linger in that comfortable and hospitable home for a full two weeks. At a local bicycle shop, he had his bike completely overhauled, adding new tires and fenders. Meanwhile, he purchased a small tent and commissioned an artisan to make a pair of panniers made of cotton and wool, similar to the traditional donkey saddlebags.
A Carr on a camel! Notice the Libyan "license plate" on the camel's neck.
But where would he go next? If he kept going east toward Palestine, he could perhaps reach India and continue across Asia, making this an "around the world" trip. Or should he just stick to the original plan and turn south toward Johannesburg, even though he would now have to travel alone?
His heart, he soon realized, was still set on seeing the "real" Africa — that is, the wild heartland that he had imagined but had yet to truly experience. In particular, he longed to see Victoria Falls, so often compared to Niagara Falls, and Kruger National Park, the great game reserve.
Sensing his resolve to complete his African journey, his hosts helped him prepare an itinerary. Just before his departure, Zakia, perhaps feeling a tinge of responsibility for Carr's fate, wrote to his mother back in Ingersoll:
"It was our great pleasure to meet your son Douglas. He is happy and looks cheerful all the time and can make friends very easily wherever he goes. I, being a mother, thought of writing to you this note so that you will not worry about him being so far away! He is enjoying everything and is taking notes of everything he sees, and he certainly will have a lot to tell you and shall be greatly benefited by this tour."
On March 2, Carr finally left Cairo. Heading south along the densely populated banks of the Nile, he visited Luxor with its magnificent temples and tombs, and Aswan with its spectacular dam. At the ancient village of Shellal, having been advised that it would be impossible to cycle any farther south, Carr took an overnight train to Kosti in Sudan. He then boarded a paddle-wheeled barge to head up the Nile to Juba.
During the 11-day journey, Carr got his first taste of African wildlife. At nights he could hear the echoes of elephants and lions. One day he spotted three locals crouching by the riverbank, their spears poised for action. They were awaiting the arrival of a small deer that was making its way across the river toward them. But to the hunters' great dismay, the deer suddenly sank — claimed preemptively by a crocodile.
Meanwhile, on the boat, Carr was also becoming familiar with the native people. At Malakal, the packed barge took on a group of Dinka tribe members. He was shocked to see that they wore "practically no clothing, except for the string of beads around their necks and waists, or copper wire around their wrists."
At Juba, the present capital of South Sudan, Carr finally penetrated the African heartland. Much to his pleasant surprise, the first stretch of cycling seemed rather tame. True, the path was a bit bumpy, the tsetse flies were pesky, and the weather was hot. But he was bowling along in perfect solitude, enjoying tantalizing glimpses of exotic birds and game. Perhaps cycling in Africa wasn't so bad, after all.
But soon conditions worsened. The flies increased in number and ferocity, pricking him like needles. And the animals, which now included snakes, deer, wild pigs, hyenas, and wildebeests, seemed uncomfortably close. The grass on the plains was often taller than he was, obscuring his view of whatever danger might lay ahead. He spent one unforgettable night cowering in a treetop, clutching a rock, in fear that the muffled sounds he was hearing were those of a hungry lion, tiger, or leopard. In the morning, he saw two mischievous baboons and was convinced that they "were laughing at the scare they had caused this amateur of the African wilds."
Carr wisely opted to forgo his tent and spend his nights in a rest house where available or within the safely walled confines of a village or mission. The first morning he awoke in a native hut, he was introduced to an Austrian baron who was working as an elephant control officer. "He was a fine fellow," Carr recalled, "and I spent the rest of Easter Sunday with him in his rustic home. Never will I be able to thank that gentleman for the knowledge I gained from him about Africa, which probably saved my life."

Although Carr had often been warned by westerners that it was not safe to eat the native food, he did not hesitate to do exactly that as he cycled south. "It was cheap and perfectly alright," he would recall. "I would sit around a native's fire in the evening and eat his mealy-meal porridge with my fingers just as he did." His only precaution was to drink quinine or boiled rainwater.
In Uganda, Carr endured more flies during the day and more animal scares at night. He spent a day at a leper colony, comprised of some 700 afflicted adults and children, and headed by one European missionary. "Although it was one of the most depressing days in my journey," Carr would recall, "it was a revelation to me how she kept such a smile and cheerful outlook in the midst of so much misery and sorrow."
Carr continued on through Kenya and spent a night at Timboroa, the site of the highest railroad station in the British Empire, before crossing the equatorial line and reaching the bustling capital city of Nairobi. From there, he cycled through giraffe country to the Namanga River Camp. A signpost informed him that Johannesburg was now less than 3,000 miles away.
In Tanganyika (now Tanzania), Carr passed by Mount Kilimanjaro, the inactive volcano with Africa's highest peak. He was soon hobbled by a snapped brake cable but was elated to find a bicycle repair shop. The kind owner not only fixed the cable, he also handed Carr a box full of spokes and tire solvent, telling him with a sly smile, "You might need these."
In Rhodesia (today Zambia and Zimbabwe), Carr was occasionally obliged to cycle along the railroad tracks, so sandy were the roads. He carried a bag of coarse salt rather than coins. "At night I could barter a tablespoon of salt for a couple of eggs," Carr recalled, "or occasionally milk or even fowl." He no longer had any qualms about ripping apart a chicken with his bare hands.
At last, the Canadian reached the majestic Victoria Falls, famously "discovered" by the Scottish missionary Dr. David Livingstone in 1855. There Carr saw a rare nocturnal rainbow lit up by the full moon. He went on to the beautiful but barren Matobo Hills to see the grave of Cecil Rhodes, the then-vaunted British imperialist after whom westerners had named the region.
Makeshift sleeping arrangements inside a church/school building in Nyasaland (present-day Malawi). A blackboard had been removed from the wall and laid across the round log pews to form a flat surface for Carr's air mattress.
Crossing into "the Union," Carr found the roads generally tolerable until he reached the arid Karoo region where they were simply "terrible." He was surprised to learn that South Africans already knew of the "Mad Canadian," for they had been following his progress in the newspapers. As Carr would reminisce, "People recognized me on the street from newspaper pictures and often stopped to talk. All were surprised that I would tackle a trip down through Africa without carrying some kind of firearm."
In the town of Louis Trichardt, a young westerner named Ken gave Carr a tour of the region in his automobile. Seeking a shortcut, Ken veered off the main road. The car sank into the sand, its rear wheels spinning in vain. The two walked to a nearby village and, using sign language, recruited a team of young men and donkeys to extricate the vehicle. After the successful operation, Ken handed one of the boys a coin, and to the westerner's great surprise, he blurted in plain English, "Jesus Christ, two shillings!"
At last, Carr reached Johannesburg, a modern city that in six short decades had sprung from a small settlement. He tracked down a young South African journalist whom he had met at the youth hostel in London. After touring a local gold mine, Carr found another driver willing to take him to — and through — Kruger Park, a day's distance away. They spent almost a week combing the immense reserve and interacting with the protected wildlife.
From Jo'burg, Carr vowed to push on to the extreme southwest corner of the continent, reasoning that a solo ride from "Cairo to Cape Town" had a nice ring to it, and the latter was "only" another 600 miles distant. Along the way, in Kimberley, he toured the famous De Beers diamond mines.
Carr arrived at his destination on October 2, seven months to the day after he had left Cairo. He basked in his newfound fame, granting interviews to a slew of journalists and radio broadcasters. The mayor hosted a banquet in his honor. And he met two famous fellow adventurers: Lincoln Ellsworth, the American polar explorer, and the Australian pilot D.C.T. Bennett. The latter had just flown a seaplane from Scotland in a near-record time of only two days. "I prefer my method of transportation to yours," the beaming airman cracked upon meeting the Mad Canadian.
The woefully beat-up Venanzi was at its end. Unwilling to scrap it, Carr packed it up and sent it home as a souvenir (years later, he would donate it to Ingersoll's Cheese & Agricultural Museum, where it remains today).
All told, Carr had cycled some 15,000 miles in Europe and Africa. He would go on to spend another year on the road, mostly in Asia and North America, to complete his global circuit. But he would use other means of transportation — for all its charms and advantages, he had found touring by bicycle "hard work."
When his wandering finally came to an end, Carr would indeed settle in Ingersoll. Until his retirement in 1986, the lifelong bachelor and his brother Bertran would run Carr's Book and China Shop. An affable character beloved by everyone in town, he loved to talk about his epic journey, especially the cycling part. Yet he always made the short trek between his childhood home to the store downtown on foot, never by bicycle. And though he would live until 1994, he seldom strayed far, or for long, from Ingersoll.
He did, however, have one more unforgettable experience abroad after his homecoming. That was in mid-1945, when he returned to Berlin as a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Exploring Hitler's abandoned bunker, he came across what had been the Nazi leader's personal bathroom. Carr could not resist expressing his contempt for the monstrous murderer who had killed himself only a few weeks earlier in the nearby den. Using a finger, the proud Canadian scrawled on the tub's grimy surface "Carr from Canada." And then he urinated in the tub.
Carr still carried no grudge against the German people. On the contrary, as he walked through the ruined city, he fondly recalled the happy times he had spent at its now defunct youth hostel. How enlightening it had been to sit down with dozens of fellow youths from so many countries and cultures.
Carr marveled that Germany itself had launched the hosteling movement prior to the last war. If only it had gotten an earlier start and multiple generations had grown up experiencing its spirit of international fellowship, Carr reasoned, perhaps the world would never have sunk to such appalling depths of depravity and destruction.
For his part, he was grateful to have had the opportunity in his youth to roam the world and experience humanity at its best. He felt certain that his great adventure had enriched him for life, just as Zakia had predicted it would. And he always found solace in her parting words: "It is better to be rich in friends than to be rich in wealth."

BMW 1 Series Review
The new BMW 1 Series comes with front-wheel drive for the first time – something that won't please the purists – but at least it's more practical and gets more tech than the old car.
High-tech infotainment
More spacious than before
Lots of engines to pick from
No rear-wheel-drive model
Alternatives are a bit cheaper
Looks may not appeal to everyone
BMW 1 Series: what would you like to read next?
The BMW 1 Series is a high-tech family hatchback with eye-catching looks and a posh cabin. Just like the Mercedes A-Class and Audi A3, it comes with front-wheel drive as standard – a first for BMW's smallest car.
This new layout means the new BMW 1 Series doesn't get a long, sweeping bonnet like the car it replaces, but it still packs plenty of angular creases to make sure it's one of the sportiest-looking hatchbacks around.
Things are a little tamer inside, but the BMW 1 Series' minimalist dashboard and nine-inch infotainment display look more modern than the equivalents in the old car's cabin. It comes with plenty of bang-up-to-date equipment too, including optional gesture controls and BMW's personal assistant system. The latter is similar to the A-Class' 'Hey Mercedes' feature.
Sending power to the front, rather than the rear, wheels means BMW has been able to redesign the 1 Series' cabin to maximise room for passengers. As a result, there's more space in all five seats than in the old car so you should be able to carry tall adults in the back in reasonable comfort. The BMW 1 Series' boot is bigger than in the old car, too, and more spacious than the load bay you'll find in a Mercedes A-Class.
The BMW 1 Series' sporty styling might not be conventionally attractive, but it certainly stands out from the likes of the rather staid and sensible Audi A3 and VW Golf.
You can get the BMW 1 Series with a range of petrol and diesel engines; from the entry-level 1.5-litre 118i three-cylinder that's ideally suited to town driving to the 2.0-litre 118d version that'll lap up longer motorway trips with ease. There's also a sportier M135i model in the works that'll sprint from 0-60mph in less than 4.8 seconds.
As with the previous BMW 1 Series, you'll be able to have the new car with a manual or automatic gearbox, and with optional four-wheel drive for a little extra grip in slippery conditions. There'll also be the option of some high-tech driver assistance systems to help keep you safe and take the stress out of long drives and trips in heavy traffic.

Bombing Syria
It's quite a long time since I last had no idea what to do about Syria. But I have finally come to a view on whether the UK should join the coalition that is currently carrying out air strikes against ISIL in Syria. I'm cautiously in favour, for the following reasons:
We're already bombing ISIL in Iraq;
That seems to be going pretty well, all things considered;*
The border between Iraq and Syria is effectively imaginary;
Our allies are already bombing ISIL in Syria.
It may very well be true that adding British drone missile capabilities to the coalition in Syria is unlikely to win the war, in and of itself. It may also be true that a final resolution of the Syrian war is beyond Western capabilities anyway. But ISIL is both a regional menace and a global nuisance. Its impact as a Caliphate stretches from Bangladesh to Nigeria, by way of bedrooms in Brussels and Bradford. To the extent that the UK is able to take action to degrade it, it should do so.
I'm reasonably settled in my view on this now, after a lot of indecision. Part of the reason for this is that the counter-arguments are so bad. I had the misfortune to catch Diane Abbott on the Today Programme this morning. It is, incidentally, a sign of the depths to which Labour has plunged that Diane Abbott is now such a consistent defender of its positions. It's almost impossible to set myself up on the side of an argument advocated by Diane Abbott, Jeremy Corbyn, Peter Hitchens and Giles Fraser.
Time will tell on this, and I very much doubt that we will see much of an impact, but in the last resort, it's a bit craven to agree that action should be taken, and then demand that it's taken by anyone but us.
*On 17 September 2015, it was reported that around 330 ISIL fighters had been killed by British airstrikes, with zero civilian casualties. By 26 September 2015, ISIL had lost a quarter of its territory.
#Tampontax
George Osborne was definitely tending to the self-satisfied for most of the Autumn Statement yesterday - no mean feat, given the back-pedalling at its heart. But he was rarely smugger than when he announced what he thought was a really clever wheeze.
The VAT rate charged on sanitary products is 5% - the lowest permitted under European law. The UK Government is currently lobbying the EU to allow them to exempt sanitary products altogether (and apparently with some chance of success). At the moment, however, this is a tax that the Government wants to get rid of, but can't.
One of the key points of 'unfairness' that is raised against the tax as it stands is that it applies uniquely to women. When the Treasury dropped the rate from standard to reduced back in 2000, one of the questions asked was whether there were any products that only men would ever buy. Inventive mandarins eventually came up with beard trimmers and circumcision knives - neither of which really amount to the same thing. So, you have a tax raised (effectively uniquely) entirely from women,
Wouldn't it be a nice gesture, thought Osborne, if this money, which is there in the general funds, could be spent specifically on women, just as it is raised specifically by women? An additional £15m for women's charities, so that at least this unwelcome tax is going to a good cause. It seems rather a neat solution.
No. Of course not. Everyone went nuts instead.
Women's charities getting tampon tax money is crass politics. Like they couldn't possibly spend non-women-related money on women's charities

@Partyreptile @twitsplatt When vast majority of women in domestic violence refuges are put there by men, don't use women to pay for it.

Not for the first time, I am baffled by this argument. There's a perfectly good argument that it would be better if no tax was levied on tampons - it's just that it's not something the Government can legally do. But the argument that, given that tax is levied on tampons, it is insulting for the proceeds to be given to women's charities is just really odd.
I think there are three different assumptions going on, and all of them are wrong. The first is the one you see about 'luxuries' and razors and so on.
I recognise that razors are zero-rated, and judging by many Conservative Members the opportunity to shave every day is a human right. They are cleanly shaven, and I am sure they would be concerned to be charged a higher rate of VAT.
Stella Creasy, Hansard, 26 October 2015
The idea being that idiot know-nothing men apply VAT to essentials like tampons that don't affect them, while ensuring that more male products, like razors, are exempt. Which is fine, except that razors are VAT-able at 20%.
The second argument is that funding for charities should come from general taxation - typified by the two tweets above. And the obvious answer to this is that it does. Obviously there could always be more money spent on things, and obviously there are more good causes that would benefit from funding than there are funds. But the argument that no public money goes to women's charities apart from this latest initiative is just wrong.
The third, and most emotive argument is that this is just making "Bleeding women pay for other bleeding women". But this argument is arse-about-face. The Government isn't levying a special tax on women in order to pay for women's charities. The tax on women is there already, and unremovable. The Government is just making sure that the money raised is spent on women, and not on ministerial cars, or Type 26 frigates, or any other of the myriad recipients of public funding.
That this initiative has created so much hostility is proof either of the proposition that no good deed goes unpunished, or that there really is just no pleasing some people.

This story is a hardy perennial, the true meaning of which seems permanently missed.
State school pupils are likely to do better at university than independent school pupils with similar A-level results, according to a new study.
Take that finding, and come at it from another angle, and you get "State school pupils are likely to get worse A-level result than independent school pupils of similar academic ability".Which is what you'd expect, given that independent schools get, on average, better A-level results than state schools. So to get from there to here takes a little effort:
The researchers suggest two reasons for the finding: private school students may have lower incentives to perform well at university and therefore may invest more effort in social life rather than academic work; or they may have been coached at school and subsequently struggle when they get to university.
The second reason there is interestingly put (the first one is pure guesswork). What the researchers are calling "coaching" is what is usually called "teaching". Luckily, given that this story keeps on bobbing up, there's a standard answer from independent school heads:
"This study tells us that, unsurprisingly, A*s generally lead to good degrees. School heads already know that prior attainment is the key to later success," said Chris Ramsey, headmaster of King's School, Chester, and a spokesman for the Headmasters and Headmistresses Conference of leading private schools.
"In the real world more independent school pupils get A*s in the first place, and overall get better degrees. Previous, more thorough research shows it is wrong to conclude that more than a tiny number – around 1% - of state school pupils entering at the same level will do better at university."
Still, hats off I guess for managing to turn a story about poor teaching in state schools to one about lazy, entitled and over-coached kids at private ones.

Have kids visiting? Floating the river is an awesome experience. Our families float the river many times a summer. You have a few options here. You can buy a tube at Walmart and keep it in your garage. (Note: Not the highest quality of tube and I've lost several). The other option is there are several great companies here in Pagosa that have different pick up and drop off locations that send you down the river and pick you up in a van.


Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) can be an important cytokine for the migration of monocytes into vessels, and can be mixed up in pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. phosphorylation of GSK3 in addition to Akt by Pam3CSK4 arousal.

Furthermore, Akt inhibitor suppressed TLR2-mediated phosphorylation of GSK3. Used together, these outcomes claim that a MyD88-indie pathway is available in TLR2 signaling; the JAK2-Akt-GSK3 pathway is really a novel MyD88-indie pathway for MCP-1 induction.

Our outcomes also demonstrated the significant inhibition of GS-9190 TLR2-mediated Akt phosphorylation with the JAK inhibitor, and for that reason we think that the JAK-PI3K-Akt pathway can be an important part of MCP-1 regulation.

Pam3CSK4 improved GSK3 phosphorylation, decreased activation and pre-treatment with the GSK3 inhibitor LiCl potentiated GSK3 phosphorylation by stimulating Pam3CSK4 (Fig. 5A). Additionally, LiCl pre-treatment amplified MCP-1 manifestation by activation of Pam3CSK4 (Fig. 5B). We then confirmed the relationship between Akt and GSK3. The PI3K-Akt inhibitor clogged the TLR2-mediated GSK3 phosphorylation (Fig. 5C). These results suggest that the JAK2-Akt-GSK3 pathway contributes to TLR2-mediated MCP-1 manifestation. Open in a separate window Number 5 GSK3 is a downstream molecule for Akt in TLR2-mediated MCP-1 manifestation.

GSK3 phosphorylation was determined by western blotting using -phospho-GSK3 antibody (S9) and normalized to GSK3 total protein. Overall, our results demonstrate a MyD88-self-employed pathway in TLR2 signaling, therefore providing a different mechanism other than the already known MyD88-dependent pathway to regulate MCP-1 manifestation, and thereby causing foam cell formation and atherosclerosis. Additionally, TLR2-mediated GSK3 induced MCP-1 production in a negative manner through the JAK2-Akt signaling pathway.

Upgrading consumer technology is often advertised as being "easy," and sometimes it is. But it's the things they don't tell you that can drive you crazy. That new cell phone looks sleek and perfect—until you realize you now have a drawer full of charging cords you can't use. That high-resolution, eight-inch display in the new car is beautiful—except now you have to pull over to the side of the road to change the radio station.
Refreshing test technology can be like that, too. There are advantages and pitfalls, but a basic truth is this: No matter how much better your test floor will run after a technology deployment, getting there requires some disruption. The key is to minimize it. In test environments, that means addressing at least the following four things before you sign the P.O.
In my experience, customers who purchase new test equipment usually fall into one of three categories. Some buy too much functionality and end up overpaying for their particular needs. Others buy too little functionality and then need to allocate more funds to either upgrade their system or trade it in on a more powerful instrument. The third group—those who buy exactly the right amount of functionality and measurement accuracy for their unique needs—are in the sweet spot. To make sure you fall into that third category, take a fresh look at your products and development plan. Understand exactly what you need to be able to test today, and try to anticipate your test needs 18 to 24 months down the road. Chances are, your new test system will be faster, smaller, and maybe even simpler to operate, but if it can't measure what you need it to measure today and a year from now, with the accuracy you need, nothing else matters.
I've been told that the cost of creating new code for test sets can be up to three times the cost of the instrument. That's a sobering thought. What's more, the speed with which code is deployed affects how quickly you can get equipment up and running. Although many instrument suppliers claim to have code-compatible equipment, be careful and read the fine print. Many companies simply transfer existing commands to the new equipment, so your old programs run the same way on new equipment that they did on your old systems. Even though you purchased state-of-the-art equipment, performance stays the same. It's like buying a new hybrid car and disabling the EV battery, so you're getting the same gas mileage that you got with your old car. An even worse outcome is if performance degrades. With old programs running on the new equipment, measurements might not perform the same way, giving you inaccurate or misleading results.
Does a new instrument need to fit into an existing rack? Is floor space limited or being reallocated? This is a case where a little planning goes a long way. Just as you measure the doorways at home before buying a new couch or a high-tech workout machine, make sure your new equipment fits the physical space you've allocated.
Does your new equipment have the right connections on the front and back panels? If not, there's usually a workaround, so it's not a showstopper. But like the new cell phone that has a completely different charger interface, it's a good idea to avoid surprises—and deployment delays—whenever you can.
The good news is, there will always be newer technology. That's the challenge, too. But with a little planning, your next technology refresh can be smooth and even transformative for your test floor. I won't describe it as "easy," but done right, it can be surprise-free.
What about you? What's the most interesting surprise you've had when updating equipment in your test environment? I'm always interested to know what my fellow technologists are up to.
Duane Lowenstein is a Test Strategy Analysis Manager for Keysight Technologies. Read his bio.
I have a friend who owns a classic old BMW. He loves that car. It's fast, reliable, and fits him like a glove. It has plenty of bells and whistles—nothing like the newer models, of course, which are rolling data centers. But that's part of the appeal. There are fewer parts to break. Except that now, when they do break, it's an odyssey. Replacement parts are getting harder to find and can be shockingly expensive. And it's harder to find technicians who know the model and can diagnose problems. The numbers just aren't what they used to be. A car that for years was inexpensive to operate and easy to own is suddenly throwing big, unbudgeted expenses at its owner.
Test systems are a lot like that old BMW. With steady maintenance, they can run flawlessly and improve your bottom line—until they don't. At some point, even the best-maintained systems give way to repairs that cost a little more, take a little longer, and leave you with unplanned downtime. As you begin to see increases in maintenance costs and downtime, you'll know it's time for a technology refresh. The good news is, you can expect to see four bottom-line impacts almost immediately when you upgrade your test systems.
Technology keeps advancing, so newer test systems are not only faster but also more accurate. The cost savings here are compelling. If you currently need, say, nine test stations for your product line, and new test systems are 33 percent faster, you can get the same throughput with six test stations that you're currently getting with nine.
To carry the example further, some would argue that it costs less to own nine fully depreciated test stations than to purchase six new test stations. I would argue the opposite. Nine test stations require nine operators whereas six test stations require six operators—a recurring annual savings that continues every year. Six test stations also means you're consuming one-third less floor space, one-third less power for heating and cooling, and one-third less electricity to run the systems.
What's more, older systems typically need to be calibrated every year whereas newer models have a two- or three-year calibration cycle. So you're reducing not only the number of systems you're maintaining but also the amount of maintenance required for each.
Unplanned downtime is a special kind of misery and an expense that's hard to control. It upends manufacturing schedules and deadlines, interrupts nights and weekends, jeopardizes commitments, and bleeds profit. Some companies never recover. Newer equipment tends to be more reliable, and repairs are covered under warranty. In some cases—as with Keysight instruments, for example—a standard three-year warranty can be extended up to ten years, so you can know exactly what your maintenance costs will be for the life of the equipment.
New equipment triggers a near-term increase in capital expenses, but after the initial bump, CAPEX trends lower over the life of the equipment. And remember that a spike in CAPEX is offset almost immediately with lower OPEX, overhead, and tax deductions. Many of the companies I work with see 100 percent payback on a modernization investment within a few years, then ride a downward slope on CAPEX for the rest of the time they own the equipment.
It's a fact that every machine reaches end-of-life at some point. Having consulted with over 100 companies on major technology upgrades, I can attest to a simple truth: Planned upgrades cost less and provide better outcomes than emergency fixes. Your mileage may vary, but in general, newer test systems are faster, more reliable, more accurate, and have a lower total cost of ownership. And let's face it, that new-car smell is pretty nice once in awhile.
What business benefits could a technology refresh have for your company? What is stopping you from starting a modernization initiative?


That is actually the task of technology certainly not just to strengthen itself, however to become much more user friendly. Our company may view this occur within the ever before growing sphere of Wireless LAN connections. Listed below the only constant is actually the effortless to mount, plug and also participate in components which is well matched by basic easy to use program. One merely must plug in the gadget to check out the system or maybe the Net, having said that, Wireless LAN relationships are typically at risk to hackers or perhaps infection threats. These destructive facilities try to penetrate the network and also damage important information. However, there is good headlines for all those folks that prefer to protect their Wireless LAN hookups. Right now you can easily delight in the perks of a secured Wireless LAN experience for less than a hundred bucks, lte antenne.
The initial step after putting up the components is actually to exercise the setup finest matched for your system. Pay very close attention to the security settings particularly and also carry out not make it possible for the Wireless LAN before you have every little thing in position and set up. It goes without saying, it is far better to become safe and secure than unhappy. There are actually a few security measures one may take on after setting up the Wireless LAN system.
Allow our company begin with the router and also the get access to aspects. Our team highly recommend that you deploy a manager code to improve as well as reinforce access options. Thus, the intruder will definitely not have the capacity to log right into your Wireless LAN device without getting into the appropriate password. However, certain units or tools are actually preconfigured with default codes.
Regrettably, these security passwords are commonly the manufacturer's personal title, given that it is easy to consider although it is without creativity. We understand that leaving a system accessible with nonpayment passwords is actually the fool sturdy choice. This is actually why our company must personalize all the get access to aspects and the cordless modem with our very own distinct security passwords. Commonly our experts neglect these codes considering that our experts carry out certainly not need to utilize all of them regularly. At this moment there is actually no possibility however to revert back to the default settings to reenter your network. The only concern is actually that all your time invested in personalization will go to waste as those change are actually removed when default setups are used.
Remember that the access factors as well as the routers are especially set up to preserve and safeguard essential relevant information like the SSID (Service Identifier) and also also the label of the Wireless LAN network. This body makes it challenging to recognize our personal network, yet luckily, it doesn't jeopardize the protection. Without this fancy concealing system, you could be seeping away essential particulars or ideas that verify helpful to outsiders with ill-intentions.
Currently our company analyze the 2 types of security worked with to protect a Wireless LAN body. They are actually WEP or even Wired Equivalency Privacy as well as the WPA or even WiFi Protected Access. We understand that the WEP device is widely made use of however it additionally has a series of quick and easy to capitalize on weaknesses due to its own improperly created encryption software program. Alternatively, there is actually the extremely suggested WPA possibility which enhances your system while showing incredibly simpler to put up and also set up. One need to note that unlike WEP, WPA is not hindered through a minimal lot of security password combinations as it looks into the computer keyboard past the alphabets and also variety tricks. There is a preloaded WPA support system within the Microsoft window XP software package. WPA2 is actually the newest generation WPA, which gives better security yet counts on especially downloaded and install updates, WLAN Signal Verstärken.

According to a fresh federal report.
In past plan debates, some worried that the SCHIP plan would merely shift children from private coverage to community insurance without actually diminishing the amount of uninsured. But the new CDC report demonstrates wasn't the case, Glied said. The kids result was interesting. I haven't actually seen that in additional studies, Glied said.5 million to 6.8 million. Glied and others stated the CDC quantities are much like the Census Bureau estimates roughly. The Census Bureau estimated that in 2005, 44.8 million people or 15.3 % of the population were without health insurance..Open Obligations was unveiled the other day and included data on 4.4 million payments valued at $3.5 billion. Over fifty % a million doctors and about 1,360 teaching hospitals received at least one payment . Meanwhile, a report looks at efforts to make doctor training less dangerous. Reuters: Shorter Doc Training Not Tied To Worse Outcomes A 2003 rule restricting the number of hours doctors-in-training can work each week didn't impact the grade of care they provided after they were practicing independently, suggests a new research. Restricting the hours doctors-in-training worked every week may, in fact, possess improved the outcomes for his or her high-risk patients, the researchers compose in the journal Health Affairs.

British Holidaymakers Stranded on Coronavirus Cruise Ships
The COVID-19 crisis has caused devastation for many people, but those stuck on board the MS Zaandam are becoming understandably concerned as four people die from coronavirus on the ship.
According to The Independent, around 1,243 passengers and 586 are currently on board the Holland America Line ship, however, the trip was supposed to come to an end seven days ago. The reason the ship did not dock in time, is because ports in South America began refusing the ship to dock and allow passengers to get off the vessel because the pandemic has been identified on the ship. Over 200 British people are still on board the vessel.
Although only two people have tested positive for coronavirus on the ship, The Independent states that over '140 people on board are suffering from flu-like symptoms.' Four people have died making ports reluctant to let passengers disembark. The cruise line has been allowed to send another cruise ship by the name MS Rotterdam to rescue passengers who are not showing symptoms of coronavirus. No passengers however, have been permitted to go ashore since The Holland Line cruise ship left Punta Arenas almost three weeks ago.
In other news, the Coral Princess is another Princess Cruise ship that has been denied port in Brazil. According to The Independent, essential supplies may be bought to the ship after the Coral Princess calls the island's capital Bridgetown on Tuesday 31st March 2020. More than 400 British travellers are currently on board the ship being held as Princess Cruises states,
'No guests or crew will be permitted to disembark during this time.'
At present, the Foreign and Commonwealth (FCO) have stated: 'We are doing all we can to help British people on board the Coral Princess cruise ship. Our staff are in close contact with the cruise operator and the authorities in the region to ensure British people can get home safely.'
Passengers should keep up to date with the latest advice regarding COVID-19.

Scientists now believe plant was commonplace on continent in prehistoric period.
The growth of wild cannabis was rife in Europe during the Stone Age, but the plant disappeared from the continent before the first farmers had a chance to cultivate it, according to new research.
Scientists have previously struggled to determine where the plant grew, as its similarity to the related common hop meant usual methods of studying pollen fossils had proved difficult.
However, a group of researchers from the University of Vermont led by John McPartland now believe they may have solved the mystery, by examining what else was growing in the area.

THE SECURITY SWAMP
April 7, 2009 -- The name on my passport, my preferred form of travel identification, is Joseph Angelo Brancatelli. I was born on May 22, 1953. And I am a male.
I tell you these admittedly prosaic bits of personal trivia because I want you to know that I am not against giving this information to the TSA (the Transportation Security Administration). And if you want to fly, you, too, will soon be required to disclose this data to the TSA, the lumbering, leaderless, secretive bureaucracy that has spent the years since 9/11 alternately keeping us safe and infuriating us.
Secure Flight, the name of this latest bit of data mining by the federal bureaucracy with the power over your freedom of movement, kicked in last week in typical TSA style: suddenly, with virtually no public discussion and even fewer details about its implementation. According to the agency's press release, which is buried half-a-dozen clicks deep on the TSA website, Secure Flight is now operative on four airlines. Which airlines? The TSA won't say. When will Secure Flight be extended to other carriers? Sometime in the next year, but the agency won't publicly disclose a timeline or discuss the whys, wherefores, and practical details.
Before we can even discuss why a federal agency needs to know when you were born before it permits you to fly, let's back up and explain the security swamp that the TSA has created.
Born in haste after 9/11, the TSA was specifically tasked by Congress to assume overall authority for airport security and pre-flight passenger screening. Before that, airlines were required to oversee security checkpoints, and carriers farmed out the job to rent-a-cop agencies. Their work was shoddy, and the minimum-wage screeners were often untrained.
Despite birthing pains and well-publicized missteps, the TSA eventually got a more professional crew of 40,000 or so screeners working the checkpoints. Generally speaking, the checkpoint experience is more professional and courteous now, if not actually more secure. In fact, despite rigorous employee training and billions of dollars spent on new technology, random tests show that TSA screeners miss as much contraband as their minimum-wage, rent-a-cop predecessors.
But the TSA's mission wasn't just passenger checkpoints. Congress asked the new agency to screen all cargo traveling on passenger jets. (The TSA has resisted the mandate and still doesn't screen all cargo.) Congress also empowered the TSA to oversee a private "trusted traveler" program that would speed the journey of frequent fliers who voluntarily submitted to invasive background checks. (The TSA has all but killed trusted traveler, which morphed into inconsequential "registered traveler" programs like Clear.)
Most important of all perhaps, both Congress and the 9/11 Commission wanted the TSA to get a handle on "watch lists" and other government data programs aimed at identifying potential terrorists before they flew. And nowhere has the agency been more ham-fisted than in the information arena.
The TSA's first attempt to corral data, CAPPS II, was an operational and Constitutional nightmare. The Orwellian scheme envisioned travelers being profiled with huge amounts of sensitive private data—credit records, for example—that the government would store indefinitely. Everyone—privacy advocates, airlines, airports, civil libertarians and certainly travelers—hated CAPPS II. The TSA grudgingly killed the plan in 2004 after some high-profile data-handling gaffes made its implementation a political impossibility.
While this security kabuki was playing out, the number and size of government watch lists of potential terrorists ballooned. Current estimates say there are as many as a million entries on the various lists, although the TSA argues that only a few thousand actual people are suspect.
But how do you reconcile the blizzard of watch-list names—some as common as Nelson, which has been a hassle for singer/actor David Nelson of Ozzie & Harriet TV fame—with the actual bad guys who are threats to aviation?
Enter Secure Flight, a stripped-down version of CAPPS II. The TSA's theory: If passengers submit their exact names, dates of birth, and their gender when they make reservations, the agency could proactively separate the terrorist Nelsons from the television Nelsons, and guarantee that the average Joe—or, in my case, the average Joseph Angelo—won't be fingered as a potential troublemaker.
Theoretically, giving the TSA that basic information seems logical enough. But logistics are something else again: Airline websites and reservations systems, third-party travel agencies, and the GDS (global distribution system) computers that power those ticketing engines haven't been programmed to gather birthday and gender data. And Secure Flight's insistence that the name on a ticket exactly match the name on a traveler's identification is also problematic: Fliers often use several kinds of ID that do not always have exactly the same name. (Does your driver's license and passport have exactly the same name on it?) Many travelers have existing airline profiles and frequent-flier program membership under names that do not exactly match the one on their IDs.
Another fly in the Secure Flight ointment: While the TSA is assuming the watch list functions from the airlines, the carriers will still be required to gather the name, birth date, and gender information and transmit it to the agency. Meshing the airline computers with the TSA systems has been troublesome in the past and, from the outside, it looks like very little planning has been done to ensure that Secure Flight runs smoothly.
The TSA "announced this thing in 2005 and, as usual, they announced it without considering practical realities," one airline executive told me last week. "And any time you deal with the government on stuff like this, it's a nightmare."
What can you do about all of this? For now, very little. Settle on a single form of identification for all travel purposes and make sure that you use that name exactly when making reservations. Check that the name that airlines have for you—on preference profiles, frequent-flier programs, airport club memberships, etc.—matches the name on your chosen form of identification.
Then wait for that glorious day when the TSA solemnly and suddenly, and almost assuredly without advance warning, decides that Secure Flight is in effect across the nation's airline system.
You may wonder why I haven't asked anyone from the Transportation Security Administration to comment on Secure Flight. The reason is simple: No one is really in charge of the agency. The Bush-era administrator, Kip Hawley, left with the previous president and the Obama Administration has yet to name his successor. Everyone from acting administrator Gale Rossides on down is a Bush holdover. And no one seems to know what President Obama or Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano thinks about the TSA, Secure Flight, or any airline-security issue.

Steffan Jahn // Mamiya Leaf Customer Story
Steffan Jahn
www.steffenjahn.com/
Leaf Aptus-II 10R
"While it was the resolution and tonal range that brought me to Leaf at first, the thing that has kept me a loyal customer is the great support Leaf provides – an essential for the working professional."
Steffen Jahn is a Stuttgart-based photographer who specializes in shooting cars – but not just any type of car, Steffen shoots fast cars. In fact, Steffen uses his 56MP Leaf Aptus-II 10 to shoot amazingly vivid images of the world's fastest and most luxurious sports cars like Lamborghini, Audi, AMG, Porsche, BMW and others. "I always try to bring inanimate objects to life. A car is all about speed, movement and acceleration and the fascination it brings to the driver as well as to the spectators. This is what I try to emphasize in my images."
Steffen was lucky enough to discover his passion for photography – and supercars – at an early age. He bought his first camera for a school trip to Moscow and has hardly put it down since. "After finishing an apprenticeship in one of Europe's biggest car studios, I started to assist car photographers worldwide for a couple of years - and this lead straight into becoming a car photographer."
A traditionalist who had been shooting 8x10" negatives for years, Steffan was always a firm-believer in the superiority of film. Indeed, it was only when he heard that Leaf's digital processing produced film-like images that Steffen was willing to take the plunge. "I was completely blown away when I saw for myself that Leaf delivered digital images that were far better than what I was doing with film. I started off with a Leaf Aptus 75 - a great tool. My new Leaf Aptus-II 10 pulls out incredible resolution and breathtaking tonal range."
"I love the rock-solid technology that never misses a beat and I love the Leaf people. Everyone is helpful - everyone supports you when you have an issue and need some advice. While it was the resolution and tonal range that brought me to Leaf at first, the thing that has kept me a loyal customer is the great support Leaf provides – an essential for the working professional."
Steffan craves full control in his work process and uses only the best equipment available to ensure that he gets what he wants. "For the most part my work is shot with my Linhof 679CS and Schneider-Kreuznach lenses - I just love to create the image precisely and have all the perspective control over it right on the set. When I need a faster kit I switch to the Mamiya 645DF. The RAW processing is done exclusively with RAW Developer which delivers ultra-smooth and highly detailed images from the Leaf .MOS files."
The images displayed in this article are from an inspiring series of images that Steffen recently completed of the new Lamborghini flagship model – the Aventador. Used worldwide to promote the new supercar, Steffen's images are an excellent example of how to properly use light and details to show off the Aventador's sharp angles and sexy curves. "As the work load was pretty massive, I chose a very simple but effective light setup. For lighting I used an Arri-fresnell spot for the dramatic shadow and several Dedolights to work out the shape of the car. Some Kinoflos were added to highlight the sharp edges of the car's body.
The production was top secret - people outside of the studio were wondering about the massive engine sound in the studio. It was a nightmare to be jailed into a studio with one of the world's most amazing supercars without a chance to take it on a test-drive - so we just had the chance to listen to the glorious sound of the 12 cylinders. There was a famous Lamborghini Miura SV from 1967 as well in the studio for the next shoot - and the art director literally lived in the historic racecar. He was a complete car-fanatic."

Canada to Open Against Host Nation Brazil at the FIFA U-17 World Cup
Canada Soccer - Canada will open against the host nation Brazil at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019. Canada, Brazil, New Zealand and Angola make up Group A with the opening match on 26 October at the Bezerrão in Brasilia.
"It's a special day and I think that what these young men have already accomplished in taking us to a FIFA U-17 World Cup will really start to sink in for them," said Andrew Olivieri, Canada Soccer's Men's EXCEL U-14 to U-17 Program Director. "We have a lot of work ahead of us, but to be in this position after our first cycle of NEX-PRO Integration strategies and Regional EXCEL visits is exciting for what the future holds for Canada Soccer's Men's National Team Program. It speaks volumes for what we can achieve as a country when we work so hard together."
Canada will face Brazil on 26 October, Angola on 29 October and New Zealand on 1 November, with all three matches to be played at the Bezerrão in Brasilia. The Knockout Phase runs from 5 November through to the Final on 17 November.
Canada qualified for the FIFA U-17 World Cup Brazil 2019 after winning 4-3 on kicks from the penalty mark over Concacaf rivals Costa Rica on 12 May. After 120 minutes in the Florida heat with no winner from a 1:1 draw, Canada won their ticket to the FIFA U-17 World Cup for the first time in six years.
Gianfranco Facchineri scored the winning kick that sent Canada to Brazil. Goalkeeper Marc Kouadio stopped Jordy Hernandez's opening kick and Jordy Evans struck the crossbar on Costa Rica's fourth attempt. Kamron Habibullah, Matthew Catavolo and Julian Altobelli also scored for Canada from the penalty spot.
This marks the seventh time that Canada advances to the FIFA U-17 World Cup, the biennial competition that was initially launched as the FIFA U-16 World Tournament in 1985. Canada were the second hosts of the competition in 1987.
"The Concacaf Men's Under-17 Championship was an exciting next step to the NEX-PRO integration strategies that we launched with our MLS academies, but it also represented the type of pinnacle event where success in meaningful matches will put us among Concacaf's top nations," said Olivieri. "The big objective was to qualify for the FIFA U-17 World Cup and we have done which will now allow us to accelerate the development for the players in this age group."
CANADA SOCCER'S MEN'S EXCEL PROGRAM
Canada Soccer's Men's EXCEL Program channels our nation's exceptional players into the best soccer environments. The Canada Soccer Pathway works in collaboration with our provincial and territory partners as well as the professional clubs and academies. For Canada's elite players, the program emphasizes player development on the pathway to representing Canada's Men's National Team in international soccer.
MEN'S EXCEL PROGRAM U-14 to U-23 : https://www.canadasoccer.com/men-s-u-14-to-u-17-p144317
Canada Soccer's Men's National Youth Teams have won two CONCACAF titles: both the 1986 and 1996 CONCACAF Men's Youth Championships. Canada have now qualified for 15 FIFA men's youth tournaments: eight editions of the FIFA U-20 World Cup and seven editions of the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

Steelers Must Accept Eagles Challenge To Run Up The Middle Against Them
By Dave Bryan
Posted on October 2, 2012 at 8:26 am
As the Pittsburgh Steelers prepare to take on the Philadelphia Eagles this coming Sunday at Heinz Field, the one thing that sticks out on tape is that the Eagles defense dares you to run against their wide 9 look up front.
As bad as the Steelers running game has been so far this season, they must accept the Eagles dare if they want to win this game. They don\'t have to run 30 times the game or for 5 yard per carry average, but they must run enough up the middle to slow down the vaunted pass rush.
Through the first four games that they have played this season, the Eagles defense has allowed an average of 91.5 yards per game rushing and 3.81 yards per carry. The Steelers offense would probably kill to hit both of those marks in this game and hopefully they can.
While those allowed averages have the Eagles ranked 12th and 11th overall in the league respectively, they have allowed an average of 6.65 per carry up the middle against them on 26 carries. This has them ranked 31st in the league in that stat.
The Eagles linebackers do a great job of protecting the edges, but struggle with runs up the gut, and this is exactly where the Steelers offense needs to try and run. Good old fashion power up the middle.
While not yet guaranteed, it looks as if running back Rashard Mendenhall will make his season debut on Sunday. Regardless, Isaac Redman will see time as well. The idea is to bang both backs inside enough so that the Eagles safeties have to respect the run more and expose their corners playing man outside.
While the New York Giants did not run the ball particularly well from a stat perspective Sunday night, they ran it enough that it brought play action into play. More than once the Eagles linebackers and safeties bit on it. The Eagles defense likes to play bump and run coverage outside from both a press and off man looks, and the play action set up several shots down the field for Eli Manning.
The Giants managed 5 explosive passing plays Sunday night and Manning threw for over 300 yards. Although the Giants did not win the game, they were in a position to win it at the end. The Giants ran 19 total times in the game to keep the Eagles honest. Was it enough? I think so, and I also think the Steelers interior line is comparable to that of the Giants.
The yards will be there up the middle on Sunday for the Steelers offense and if there was ever a week to get the running game off of the snide, this would be the week. Right up the middle and behind Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey.
