Last Day Distance in GVRAT

   Posted on June 27, 2020

       |  Mike Ching

As people start finishing the race it seems like they really push themselves on the last day. I've seen people running 20, 30, 50 miles to reach the final distance. I wondered if there was a difference between what people average and what they do on the last day of the race.

Data Loading

suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(tidyverse))
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(lubridate))
gv <- read_csv("../datasets/GVRAT_June_Summary.csv")

## Parsed with column specification:
## cols(
##   .default = col_double(),
##   Name = col_character(),
##   `28-Jun` = col_logical(),
##   `29-Jun` = col_logical(),
##   `30-Jun` = col_logical()
## )

## See spec(...) for full column specifications.

It took a little effort to reshape the data for manipulation. I wanted to get Bib, date, miles, and cumulative miles.

gv_miles <- gv %>%
  filter(Bib >= 1) %>% # Bibs between 0 and 1 were buzzards
  filter(Miles < 684.34) %>% # We want people who hadn't finished in May
  mutate(`31-May` = Miles) %>% # Rename Miles to a date for May
  select(-c(Name, Miles)) %>% # Drop Miles and Name
  pivot_longer(contains("-"), names_to = "run_date",
               values_to = "miles_day") %>% # Convert to long form
  mutate(run_date = dmy(paste0(run_date, ", 2020"))) %>%
  group_by(Bib) %>%
  arrange(run_date) %>%
  mutate(miles_total = cumsum(miles_day))

June Finishers

Who finished in June?

I found people whose total miles were over the race distance and then took the first run that was over the finish distance.

june_finishers <- gv_miles %>%
  filter(miles_total > 684.34) %>%
  group_by(Bib) %>%
  arrange(miles_total) %>%
  slice(1)

How many people finished each day in June so far

I constructed a graph to show how more and more people are finishing every day.

gv_miles %>%
  filter(miles_total > 684.34) %>%
  group_by(Bib) %>%
  arrange(miles_total) %>%
  slice(1) %>%
  group_by(run_date) %>%
  filter(run_date < ymd('2020-06-27')) %>%
  summarize(finishers = n()) %>%
  ggplot(aes(x=run_date, y = finishers)) + geom_line()

June Finishers Mileage Excluding Last Day

Here's the mean miles of people who finished in June (excluding their last day).

gv_miles %>% filter(Bib %in% june_finishers$Bib) %>%
  filter(run_date > ymd('2020-05-31')) %>%
  filter(miles_total < 684.34) %>%
  group_by(Bib) %>%
  summarize(mean_june_miles = mean(miles_day))

## # A tibble: 512 x 2
##      Bib mean_june_miles
##    <dbl>           <dbl>
##  1     2            20.5
##  2     9            17.7
##  3    68            13.7
##  4    72            15.1
##  5    81            12.1
##  6    84            17.2
##  7    92            16.4
##  8   115            13.4
##  9   142            16.2
## 10   170            13.0
## # … with 502 more rows

gv_miles %>% filter(Bib %in% june_finishers$Bib) %>%
  filter(run_date > ymd('2020-05-31')) %>%
  filter(miles_total < 684.34) %>%
  group_by() %>%
  summarize(mean_june_miles = mean(miles_day),
            median_june_miles = median(miles_day))

## # A tibble: 1 x 2
##   mean_june_miles median_june_miles
##             <dbl>             <dbl>
## 1            14.8              14.1

Among June finishers, the daily mileage excluding the last day was 14.8 miles.

June Finishers Mileage on Last Day

gv_miles %>%
  filter(miles_total > 684.34) %>%
  group_by(Bib) %>%
  arrange(miles_total) %>%
  slice(1) %>%
  group_by() %>%
  summarize(mean(miles_day), median(miles_day), min(miles_day), max(miles_day))

## # A tibble: 1 x 4
##   `mean(miles_day)` `median(miles_day)` `min(miles_day)` `max(miles_day)`
##               <dbl>               <dbl>            <dbl>            <dbl>
## 1              19.9                16.9              3.3             99.4

Among the 515 finishers in June so far, the mean last day was 19.9 miles. This was skewed quite a bit by some outliers since it was so much higher than the median.

I compared the two histograms:

gv_miles %>% filter(Bib %in% june_finishers$Bib) %>%
  filter(run_date > ymd('2020-05-31')) %>%
  filter(miles_total < 684.34) %>%
  ggplot(aes(miles_day)) + geom_histogram(binwidth = 2) +
  ggtitle("Miles per Run before Finishing Date")

gv_miles %>%
  filter(miles_total > 684.34) %>%
  group_by(Bib) %>%
  arrange(miles_total) %>%
  slice(1) %>%
  ggplot(aes(miles_day)) + geom_histogram(binwidth = 2) +
  ggtitle("Miles per Run on Finishing Date")

They are pretty similar. Note that the height of the bins is greater in the first histogram. It looks like people aren't really going crazy all out on that last day.

39-Year-Old Man Punches and Knocks Down 16-Year-Old Disabled Girl at Epic Theater
October 24, 2016 | FlaglerLive | 9 Comments
C.J. Nelson.
Last Updated: Tuesday, 5:41 p.m.
C.J. Nelson, a 39-year-old resident of Palm Coast's P-Section, was jailed Friday after allegedly punching a 16-year-old disabled girl in the face at Epic Theaters in Palm Coast's Town center. A by-stander's cellphone video that captured part of the confrontation on video shows the girl falling to the ground after Nelson punched her.
Nelson is facing a felony charge of child abuser and a misdemeanor battery charge.
According to his arrest report, a 19-year-old woman had brought her sister to the theater and were at the front of the theater, in the ticketing area, when a Nelson's daughter, also a teenager, walked up to the alleged victim, had a look, then walked away. According to the report, the two girls had been in a fight at school earlier that day.
Nelson's daughter then returned with a large group of people, along with Nelson, who walked up to the girl's older sister with his daughter. The 19-year-old and Nelson's daughter then started a verbal argument, and before long involved some physical contact.
All the while the 19 year old had been attempting to buy movie tickets, though her card was declined. When she stepped out of the line to call her bank, more people walked up to her, while the two girls who'd reportedly had a fight earlier that day at school began arguing again. Nelson, according to the report, first took a swing at the older girl, then, as the older girl's sister was standing between Nelson and her sister, he allegedly punched the younger girl, cutting her lip.
When the older girl told him she was calling police, Nelson replied: "I don;t care, that's my second home." It's not clear if he was referring to Epic Theaters or the Flagler County jail, where he was jailed four years ago on a minor pot charge, and eight years ago on a misdemeanor.
The video, according to the report, shows Nelson "advancing on both victims as they were walking away. C.J. quickly extends his left arm and punches [the younger girl] in the faces which causes her to fall to the ground. It will be noted [the victim] is a juvenile and is disabled due to her left eye."
Flagler County Sheriff's deputies located Nelson at his home at 37 Port Echo Lane in Palm Coast. He told cops that he was defending himself, saying someone had yelled out "knife", causing him to react. "The video recording does not support this statement and no one can be heard yelling that phrase in the portion of the incident that was recorded," the arrest report states.
Nelson was booked at the Flagler County jail at 10:25 p.m. Friday and was released an hour later, after posting bail on $3,000 bond. He is scheduled for a felony arraignment before Circuit Judge Matthew Foxman on Nov. 21 at 1:30 p.m.
Oct. 25 update–Stephanie Nelson, who spoke with FlaglerLive Tuesday, said the police report tells only one side of the story, and that the story is misleading. She said she and her family–including C.J., her daughter, her niece and her goddaughter–all went to the movie theater. Getting there a few minutes late, she asked the girls to check on the movie time so they could figure out whether to see the 8 or 10 p.m. showing. One of the three girls then came back to the car and told both Nelsons that someone in the movie line was trying to re-ignite an argument that had taken place between the two girls at Buddy Taylor Middle School earlier.
That's when both parents went up to the 19 year old, let her know they were the younger girl's parent, and that the issue should be left up to the school to deal with, as the investigation into that confrontation was just beginning. (The school contacted Stephanie Nelson today as part of that investigation. The older girl told Stephanie Nelson that she herself in a parental role in that situation. "Why are you trying to make her fight?" Stephanie Nelson asked her.
"We didn't come to the movie to follow them, I've got my whole family with me," Nelson said, saying she and her husband had no idea who the people were, yet they were putting up their fists in a confrontational way "to come after my 14-year-old." So C.J. intervened to protect her, Stephanie Nelson said, and when the 16-year-old ran up to hit him, he put out his hand to push her away, not to hit her. "She stumbled and got right back up," she said.
C.J. Nelson himself, in a brief interview, said he didn't know the girl's age–and didn't even know she was a girl. To him she had the appearance of a grown person who was about to attack. He said as the father of eight children–and a football and basketball coach–he would not hit a child. But, he said, "I had no other choice but to defend myself. I did not intentionally try to hurt her." He added, "I would apologize to the family, deeply I would," but, he said, "it was a misunderstanding."
Percy's mother says
I remember when Palm Coast used to be a nice place to live. It was quiet. The streets were well-kept. People were nice. Palm coast now has an awful reputation far and wide. Very sad to see what was once a lovely place to live destroyed. Looking forward to leaving the place behind. This article sums it all up.
A real solid citizen and role model for his kids.
Percy's mom, I have lived in Flagler County for over 22 years and I can not remember this fantasy land you call palm coast. As long as i can remember there has been lots of drugs and crime here. Maybe it is the member berries but I believe you are reminiscing over something that isn't entirely accurate.
Tomkat says
It's funny how a man protects his child and wears this type of label…some of you claim to protect yours at all cost but are you willing to trade shoes with him…if u ask me we need more men like him in palm coast our children will be a lot safer …
Salty Mermaid says
Dave, I was born in Palm Coast 30+ years ago. Growing up, it really was the place that Percy's mother is describing and I miss it. Imagine playing outside til dark unsupervised and being perfectly safe no matter where you were in town!
Tomkat says–Is that how responsible adults protect their kids–by punching a disabled 16 year? The article seems to indicate that Nelson's daughter was the one who provoked the incident at the movies by approaching someone with whom she'd had an altercation earlier at school. My guess is, that the supposed apple of Nelson's eye isn't falling far from the tree. He is teaching her well, all right–that violence is the answer to life's problems and conflicts with others (until it isn't at which time the consequences for your own actions are all the other person's fault.)
Outsider says
Dave, I've lived here for 30 years and you are correct; there has always been lots of crime here. Those retirees were taking more than their fair share of the free coffee at Publix and the Geritrol epidemic was out of control.
Your 100% right
MannyHMo says
Retirees taking more than their share of free coffee at Publix ? Please explain. I did not see any issue on retirees in this article.

EMBARQ China helps city of Beijing prepare for low emission zone (LEZ) and congestion pricing implementation
Lessons learned on London study tour will help Beijing reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and ease traffic congestion
As car ownership increases in Beijing, so have air pollution and traffic congestion. EMBARQ China will help the city explore congestion pricing and low emission zone (LEZ) strategies to combat these dual challenges and improve quality of life for the city's 11.5 million residents. Photo by Jens Schott Knudsen/Flickr.
In June, researchers from EMBARQ China and engineers from the Beijing Transportation Research Center (BTRC) visited London, United Kingdom to learn from its successes with low emission zone (LEZ) and congestion pricing strategies. The group met with professionals from the Department for Transport, Transport for London, IBM, and other agencies and consulting firms to learn from London's experience implementing and operating one of the world's most successful low emission zones and congestion pricing schemes.
Low emission zones help to relieve traffic congestion and improve air quality by restricting access to certain roads or areas of a city for heavily polluting vehicles, while congestion pricing imposes a fee on all vehicles that wish to use designated roads during peak hours. These measures, widely implemented in Europe but less common in developing cities, complement each other to reduce the number of cars on the road, which yields improvements in traffic safety, air quality, and GHG emissions.
Confronting air quality and traffic congestion challenges in Beijing
China's rapid urbanization and motorization has resulted in steadily increasing air pollution and traffic congestion. The transport sector alone currently accounts for about 26% of the country's total GHG emissions, and is expected to be the most rapidly growing source of air pollution over the next 10 years. Beijing's current vehicle fleet already numbers 5.4 million, the highest of any Chinese city. The city has deployed car use restriction policies and vehicle registration quotas in order to relieve traffic congestion and air pollution, but more is necessary in order to protect the health and safety of the city's 11.5 million residents.
To achieve this, Beijing's municipal government has proposed a combined low emission zone and congestion pricing policy and included it in its "Work Plan for Vehicle Emission Control 2013-2017" in October 2013. With this policy in place, Beijing will expand its restriction on vehicle use and limit total vehicle ownership in the city to six million by 2017.
Beijing weighs low emission zone and congestion pricing policies
The first low emission zone was implemented in Tokyo in 2003. Since 2006, LEZs have also become common across Europe, in part due to the European Union's health-based air quality standard. But despite being home to the world's largest urban population and the site of some of the most pressing traffic congestion and air pollution-related public health challenges, no Chinese cities have implemented low emission zones or congestion charging.
In fact, the discussion around low emission zones and congestion pricing has become quite controversial in Beijing due to residents' aspirations to car ownership and the potential economic impacts of such policies. On one hand, both city leaders and the public have recognized the significant health threats of air pollution and the economic loss caused by crippling traffic congestion. Policymakers have vowed to seek and implement solutions to control vehicle emissions, which the public, at a conceptual level, seems to agree with. In practice, however, the details of policies and economic measures like low emission zones and congestion charging have raised concerns over social equity. Many believe the low emission zone and congestion charging schemes will privilege the rich, who can afford to buy expensive clean energy vehicles and pay extra out-of-pocket charges to drive in the city.
Given the potential benefits of these measures – and the urgency of Beijing's need for a more sustainable path to urban growth – the challenge becomes how to implement a policy that will balance the interests of different stakeholders.
What can Beijing learn from London?
Political support, clear public outreach and communications, and technology have all enabled the success of London's congestion pricing policy. These clear steps can help Beijing and other cities develop comprehensive strategies for implementing their own low emission zone and congestion pricing measures to improve urban environments.
First, former London Mayor Ken Livingstone and his administration prioritized congestion pricing as one of the flagship policies of Livingstone's first term. Their public outreach strategies – like in-person demonstrations in the areas most likely to be impacted by the policies, frequent television and newspaper discussion and advertisements, and meetings with different stakeholders and the public – also played an important role in building citizen support and awareness of the new policy.
These efforts have paid off. Beginning in 2003, London's £5 charge reduced the amount of traffic entering central London during peaks hours by roughly 20% in only three years. Transport for London also releases the performance, operation, and finance of congestion pricing regularly, helping to justify the need for congestion pricing and fostering long-term public support.
EMBARQ China partners for a sustainable, healthy Beijing
Incorporating best practices from London, EMBARQ China is working closely with the Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport (BMCT) to develop a step-by-step framework for the successful implementation of Beijing's low emission zone and congestion charging schemes.
First, EMBARQ China will assist the BMCT to develop a set of integrated guidelines to introduce low emission zone and congestion charging in Beijing by expanding institutional capacity, economic and regulatory policies, vehicle emission standards, and planning and design principles. Secondly, EMBARQ China will support BMCT to develop public outreach strategies and engage citizens during the rollout of the low emission zone and congestion charging policies. Finally, EMBARQ China will help to develop monitoring tools the BMCT can use to measure the reductions in GHG and air pollutant emissions as a result of the new policies.

Obrajes Hot Springs: About 20 kilometers east of the city there is an important area of thermal waters which is quickly becoming known among tourists and Bolivians as the country's best medicinal-recreational center. Locals believe its waters have curative qualities and there is accommodation there.
Capachos Hot Springs: Located 12 kilometers from Oruro, it has hot springs too, along with individual baths and covered pools. The view of the surrounding area is very peaceful and pretty.


Thank goodness it wasn't this weather the entire cruise! I can imagine it would be impressive since we're navigating through lots of islands right now, but they're just big gray blobs out the panorama window through the rivulets streaming down the windows. It has been blustery rain and rocky waves all Saturday morning, so much that even though I had intended on eating another good breakfast, by the time I finished packing & getting ready at a consistent 20 degree angle sideways, my appetite was gone. The Caribbean hurricane Roxanne I was in on that cruise in 1995 was still worse, but this has been bad enough I won't risk reading which would make me really ill! It's still raining but calm enough to jot down notes on my Treo for posting later. I just ate my last couple pieces of lefse for breakfast. At least Friday it was beautiful!
I got up fairly well-rested, ate a quick but full breakfast, including some brunost on tasty whole grain bread, and got my cab to the dock in plenty of time. I'm so glad I did, since it was quite a hike further than back to the train station! Leaving Trondheim it was overcast, but within an hour or so the clouds were breaking revealing blue sky so I took a lot of photos. We were moving quickly enough that it was really windy & chilly out on deck even in the sun, plus the smokers had to be outside, so my day was spent bundled up in my scarf and new Nathania-knitted birthday hat reading The Golden Compass in a deck chair until either I got too chilly or a smoker came and stood next to me, then I'd go inside for awhile until the scenery changed again for more photos. Inside it was sunny enough through the windows that I couldn't keep my eyes open and dozed like a cat. I didn't think I could sleep so much!
I thought the dinner looked more interesting to splurge on than lunch, so I ate my elg ost and lefse for lunch which was tasty. We were due to dock in Kristiansund from 4-5:30, but we left Trondheim half an hour late so we didn't arrive until 5pm, and the gangway said leaving at 5:15 so no quick offshore excursion for me. Close to the coast and between island and fjords the waters were fairly calm so I had no problems even reading, but the schedule warned of open seas between Kristiansund and Molde, and it was already starting to get rocky enough I was getting queasy, so I decided to nip it in the bud and do what lasted me through the hurricane - lying down with my eyes closed in my cabin. By the time the worst was over I had a good rest and a good appetite for the second seating of dinner at 8:30pm.
Since we reached Molde during my dinner, I missed my next chance to go offship, but it was safer for my stomach eating while there was no chance of rocky waters anyway. I had a very nice window view for my dinner even though I was by myself. After dinner I wandered a bit taking some more photos, then camped out in the panorama room again to see the sun going away until about 11pm. No dramatic sunset since the skies were too clear, but I took photos anyway. It still wasn't all the way dark but I went back to my cabin anyway, took my shower and went to bed, but I didn't sleep very well between being paranoid I might miss my alarm, rocking waves, and odd loud ship noises.
I've typed this all in fits and spurts on my Treo between being forced by the waves to stop and close my eyes to keep my stomach from doing too many flips. No lunch for me either I think, so hopefully when we get to Bergen this afternoon I can find a snack on the way to Grieg's house then find another tasty dinner. Wish me luck!


And no-one told me this?
Well, I immediately switched to Opera. It's probably the "best" browser anyway, although I haven't tried Kazehakase.
Had a marathon DnD session yesterday/last night. Shouldn't do that. Well, in any case, it was Epic. Heh.
...Sorry, an inside joke. But, as you can see, I'm not running on full capacity right now.
About the drawing: Random bug, although it seems my faces don't have much variance just yet - I've drawn a similar bugface before. The badly-drawn girl below was included since I actually want to try something CGI, and it was good enough for that purpose. It's a double-hash lostnumber, since I'm at a different machine and I have no idea if I have any lostnumbers on my primary box.
mostly. I liked the ears, but this most likely isn't the final pose.
I'm currently still quite excited considering game developement stuff. I shall be coding in the future. Also modelling, maybe playing with sound... and so on and forth.
I'm also twiddling with Zenwalk on a 128M RAM Compaq Presario 1700 laptop - it's a 700mhz Celeron coppermine. I've also switched from XFCE to... well, I'm twiddling between Fluxbox and IceWM. Switching to Opera also helped save a few megs of RAM. There's also Dillo there, but it's lack of CSS is enough to make me not use it. I'm also looking if Xserver is smaller than full X.
It's Nono from Gunbuster 2!
Or rather, it's a drawing eyeballed from a photo of a cosplayer in a booklet which came in a recent Cosmode magazine. In any case, it was done with a ballpoint pen, so... not bad. My eye's pretty decent with 2d shapes, at least, these days. Still, a somewhat pointless exercise.
I just wanted to post something. Plus, more views equals pizza. Or something.
I've been learning new things, but I don't have much to say about that, yet.
There are so many game engines these days, that if one intends to do something, optimally one would test each and everyone of them before committing to one. It might be interesting, fastprototyping some game for each engine, at a pace of, say, one game per week. At least you'd end up with lots of games.
I hadn't done a "something" folder for 2008 yet.
Random skintight doodleman. Almost feels like I've seen this before.
Superpowered individuals are in my mind relatively often. In this case, I guess I, first of all, didn't want to spend too much time, which meant a practically naked model, and second... I've been thinking of a certain game idea. Basically, an immersive superpower game, where you start as an effectively a normal human, and start gaining abilities --- and in the end you can leave the planet under your own power, and can do all sorts of DBZ-like things. It'd be interesting, in a sand box type sense.
In any case, we actually managed to use the subway to get to Naka-Meguro, and from there we took a taxi cab, who dropped us to the address we were given. It took a bit of walking around, but we eventually found the... I guess Maison would be an appropriate expression, actually.
Anyway, I do have a picture of the place from outside, but it took me almost two weeks before I remembered to take it.
There's where the three of us slept. The Air conditioner device pushed hot air down from the ceiling. It ALMOST reached the ground level, which is to say "not quite." In other words, it had to be on quite high to make living bearable.
It was cold, I'm telling you.
Space-wise, it was surprisingly accomodating, although we mostly just slept there. Oh, and watched some TV and played Go, and occasionally Hanne, our hostess, cooked.
This here be Heikki trying some traditional japanese Umeshu ( it's from the green bottle ), most likely. We've just been to Natural Lawson, which is one of those 24/7 convenience stores common in japan. I'm not entirely sure why this one was Natural Lawson, as most of them were simply called Lawson. In any case, this is the following day, so that would make it... 2nd of February, I think. The instant Curry there is the same brand Konata ate in one episode of Lucky Star, coincidentally.
In any case, what do you think 'bout the Umeshu, Heikki?
Reminds me, we bought a Winnie plushie from Finland. In the mean time, Hanne had gone nuts 'bout the Evil Kitty.
In any case, that day we visited the Finnish Embassy, I think... Lots of walking was in store for us.
This is from Yutenji. I was struck by how NARROW every street was there. It felt somewhat dangerous, even, what with cars and such. Japanese people have incredible parking skills -- on the other hand, almost every car had some scratches in them.
Another were the spiderwebs --- Er, the wires hanging over streets.
I mean, it definitely makes me think of some sort of a huge Technoarachnid, but I guess it's handy if you need to rewire something. In Finland most wires are underground these days.
Mm... I guess that may be the case in Japan, too --- but then, how much wire can there be?
In any case, my next photos are from the park in, er... Hiro-o, I think. And there's a bunch of those, so they shall get another post.
It's not much, but... it's not much. Well, I'm sort of happy 'bout the hands, I guess.
On other note, I got the permission to put up pictures of people, as long as they're not bad pictures. How ambivalent.
All roads lead to Yokohama.
Okay, so... Trip to Japan, telling people stuff, and so on! Left on the last day of January, Arrived the first of February. I haven't ever really travelled much, but a friend of mine, who suggested the trip, has been to Nepal and northern China, so we're all good, yes?
That's him, in plane. Nobody told me, you weren't allowed to take pictures in a plane. In any case, Finnair has direct flights to Japan from Helsinki-Vantaa international Airport. Next Stop: Chubu airport.
Which we didn't have tickets for, as we eventually figured out thanks to the friendly Mr. Conductor. Oh well, off to the sardins-in-a-can class cars. It wasn't crowded, really. Afterwards, we were in Nagoya, waiting for a bus, by the Yuri fountain.
We waited for two hours, listening to the "Pikku pikku Kaamera" chime from across the street. What's that there, though?
Oh, look! Real live japanese schoolkids, on a class trip, even! How curious--- Wait, what's that?
I has been spotted! Oh noes!
Heh, there was mutual laughing afterwards.
Anyway, we got on a bus, which was kind of small. Buses in Japan are... not so good. Not much worse than here, really, but a bit smaller perhaps?
In any case - I guess this comes as no surprise to most city people, but I never realized Finland only really has one city, and that one's not very large, either. There are some city-elements in most Finnish cities, but they just lack the population. Where are all the forests?
Oh, and these people don't really bother hiding wires from the view. In Finland most wiring is hidden from sight. In Japan, it's like a spider web between buildings.
A funny story: As Heikki's an experienced traveller, we - that is, my mother was being comforted by the fact he was with me, so we'd be safe and get where we're supposed to be, in time.
Surely you can trust that face, 'tis a honest face. Even if he found Zoolander to be a very funny film. I haven't seen it myself, though.
Nooo problem... If he's looking like death warmed over, it's just because he'd only slept for like four hours in the last thirty-six or so. I tried explaining my theory of "While your eyes are closed, your optic nerves are resting", but that didn't take --- yet.
We weren't supposed to drop off at "Tokyo station", right? I mean, there was no proper bus stop or anything, right?
The driver -- the bus is circling around. We could ask, but that wouldn't be Proper. Surely, there's a proper station here in Tokyo, right?
Oh well, cannot do much now. Let me see those directions, will you?
What's this, a map? "Bus stops here," "Tokyo Station"... What? Dude, you had a map! What do you mean you assumed it was for Nagoya? It says "Tokyo station" right there!
Oh , great. Yokohama's a different city, right? Great, so now we're going to Yokohama. Just great.
We had a Learning Experience. Level Ups, don'chaknow?
But that's for later, okyes?

Дими́триос Граммо́зис (; ) — греческий футболист, полузащитник; тренер.

Клубная карьера
Граммозис родился в Вуппертале в семье выходцев из Погони и начинал карьеру в юношеских командах соседнего Фельберта. Не сумев закрепиться в «Вуппертале» в 1993 году, он отправился в «Юрдинген 05», где дебютировал во Второй Бундеслиге в 1996 году. Спустя два года Граммозис перешёл в «Гамбург», где 23 августа 1998 года провёл первый матч в Бундеслиге (победа 1:0 дома над «Бохумом»), но стать игроком основы так и не смог.

В 2000 году Граммозис перешёл в «Кайзерслаутерн», за который отыграл пять сезонов, включая 92 матча в Бундеслиге и 12 матчей в Кубке УЕФА. Затем, проведя по одному сезону в «Кёльне» и «Рот-Вайсс» из Эссена, Димитриос покинул Германию и в 2007 году подписал контракт с «Эрготелисом» из Суперлиги Греции. В декабре 2008 года Граммозис перешёл в «Омонию» за 150 тысяч евро, с которой в сезоне 2009/10 стал чемпионом Кипра.

В январе 2011 года Граммозис перешёл в «Керкиру», где отыграл полтора года. Летом 2012 года вернулся в Германию и стал игроком резервной команды «Бохума», а по окончании сезона 2012/13 завершил карьеру.

Тренерская карьера
Завершив игровую карьеру, Граммозис остался работать в системе «Бохума» и в 2013 году стал ассистентом Томаса Райса в юношеской команде до 19 лет. В январе 2014 года Димитриос стал помощником Райса в резервной команде «Бохума». Летом он возглавил команду до 15 лет. В декабре Граммозис на три матча Второй Бундеслиги стал ассистентом и. о. главного тренера Франка Хайнеманна. В январе 2015 года Димитриос стал главным тренером резервной команды «Бохума».

Летом 2015 года Граммозис перешёл на должность главного тренера юношеской команды «Бохума» до 17 лет. С лета 2016 года он параллельно также работал ассистентом главного тренера в основной команде. Осенью 2017 года Димитриос стал главным тренером команды до 19 лет, чтобы сосредоточиться на завершении тренерских курсов. В марте 2018 года Граммозис получил тренерскую лицензию от DFB.

В феврале 2019 года Граммозис стал главным тренером «Дармштадта», подписав контракт до 2020 года и сменив Дирка Шустера. Приняв команду на 13-м месте после 23-х туров, Граммозис завершил с ней сезон 2018/19 на десятом месте во Второй Бундеслиге. В сезоне 2019/20 «Дармштадт» под его руководством занял пятое место, отстав на три очка от третьего места, дающего право сыграть в стыковых матчах за выход в Бундеслигу. В феврале 2020 года стало известно об уходе Граммозиса из «Дармштадта» по окончании сезона: клуб предлагал новый контракт на один год, но тренер хотел подписать контракт на более продолжительный срок.

2 марта 2021 года Граммозис стал главным тренером «Шальке 04». В марте 2022 года Граммозис был уволен после домашнего поражения от «Ганзы» (3:4) в 25-м туре Второй Бундеслиги 2021/22, после которого команда опустилась на шестое место в таблице.

Milton Keynes has become the first town in the UK to conduct trials involving carrying passengers while the cars operate entirely without human control. Transport Systems Catapult, which is behind the tests, says the primary aim is to make vehicles safer.
Business and energy secretary, Greg Clark said: "Today's first public trials of driverless vehicles in our towns is a ground-breaking moment.
The driverless cars were unveiled in Milton Keynes earlier this year and council leader Peter Marland checked out the new vehicles.
The cars were tested in early October prior to a fleet of 40 pods coming into operation by the end of 2017.
They are being built by RDM Group, one of the UK's fastest growing advanced engineering companies, and will be equipped with sensor and navigation technology provided by the University of Oxford's Mobile Robotics Group.
Peter Marland said: "I am delighted to be representing Milton Keynes, a city that is fast establishing itself as one of the global leaders in transport innovation and smart mobility.

Molecular Pathology at NYU, directed by Dr. Matija Snuderl, is an emergent and growing service area focused on the use of nucleic acid-based techniques such as in-situ hybridization (ISH), reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, and nucleic acid microarrays. Spanning both the anatomic and clinical disciplines, state-of-the-art molecular pathology tests increase the specificity of disease diagnoses for identification and classification, they clarify the prognosis and predictions for the potential behavior of disease, and they determine the best therapeutic approaches and responses. Molecular pathology is becoming increasingly significant for the prediction of response to chemotherapy and radiation, the detection of residual disease and infectious disease, and for pre- and post-transplantation monitoring as well.
The NYU Department of Pathology has added a number of tests to its portfolio and has identified several others on the basis of clinical need to develop a broad scope of molecular pathology testing. The assistant director of the molecular pathology laboratories is Dr. Xiaojun Feng, who specializes in molecular diagnostics to aid in assay development and validation. With real-time PCR for quantitative RNA and mutational analysis, our current molecular pathology service volume is at over one thousand cases per year already.
Services, sequencing, and tests currently offered include T-cell and B-cell gene rearrangements, Bcl-1 and Bcl-2, JAK2 mutational analysis for myeloproliferative disease, Bcr-Abl for chronic myelogenous leukemia, 1p19q LOH for gliomas, CML BCR/ABL and ALL BCR/ABL, AML (FLT-3), t(8;21), t(15;17), and HTLV-1, HHV-8, EBV. We offer FLT3 mutational analysis and we are in the final stages of developing PML-RARA/t(15;17), AML1-ETO/t(8;21), and CBFb-MYH11/inv16 Fusion Transcripts for acute myeloid leukemia. We are also developing FIP1L1-PDGFR and KIT Mutation in Mast Cell Disease, Chimerism Analysis for transplant monitoring, and MLH1 Methylation for myelodysplastic syndrome. Other tests in development are microsatellite instability, RAS mutational analysis (sequencing) for pancreatic cancer, EGFR mutational analysis (sequencing) for multiple cancers, 18q LOH (PCR) for colon cancer, NPM/ALK/t (2;5) for anaplastic large cell lymphoma, and C-myc t(8;14) for Burkitt's lymphoma.
By specific arrangement, depending on type of test.

David Allman of EKB hosted a presentation in March 2016 at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto on "The Hidden Economics of Stream Financing" given by Santeri Strategies LLC, held at the same time as the annual Prospectors and Developers of Canada (PDAC) Conference.
Streaming agreements have moved to the forefront of mine finance as a distressed pricing environment and difficulty in accessing traditional forms of equity and debt financing have required mining companies to explore non-traditional sources of capital. Alex Godell of Santeri Strategies described the structure of streaming agreement transactions, and provided insight into the dynamics and financial implications of these transactions, in a discussion specifically directed toward those on the mining side of streaming transactions.

For much of their duration, all of our walks during the Texas Trail Roundup will follow the course of the San Antonio River. Our river starts in a spring about four miles north of downtown (The "Blue Hole", located on the campus of the University of the Incarnate Word) and meanders south for 240 miles until it feeds into the Guadalupe River about ten miles from San Antonio Bay on the Gulf of Mexico. The native peoples called the river Yanaguana. The Spanish camped along the river on 13 June 1691, the feast day of San Antonio de Padua, and re-named the river after him.
Would you like to know our river better? The River Tour is a guided, narrated tour via barge on the San Antonio River. You can catch it at three locations: 1. Historia (Under Market St. Bridge & Alamo St.) – across from Hilton Palacio del Rio 2. Clearwater (Rivercenter Mall – (Commerce & Bowie St.) – River level of Rivercenter Mall 3. Aztec Theater (River Level Aztec Theater – Crockett & St. Marys St.) Tickets are $10; $7 for those over 60 and US active duty military. It's open from 9:00AM until 9:00PM. You can buy your ticket online via credit card or with cash at any of the three stops.
The River Taxi is not narrated, although the barge drivers can answer questions and will point out public art along the way. The tickets cost $10 for a one-way trek up or down the river, $12 for an all day pass or $25 for a three day pass. The operators recommend that you buy your ticket on the barge, using cash. There are 39 stops between the Lila Cockerell Theater at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center and the Pearl. There's an interactive map showing all the stops, and an app (which will also tell you when the next barge is due to arrive at your stop) . On the live GPS map you can see our event hotel, The Holiday Inn Downtown: it's the big U-shaped building to the left-center of the map, at the corner of Cesar Chavez and Santa Rosa. You can hop on and off as often as you wish.

Finance board to provide 'not-to-exceed' figures
Kendra Baker
Sep. 1, 2016 Updated: June 13, 2019 10:50 a.m.
Town and school budget planners will be given spending levels that they shouldn't surpass.
The Board of Finance decided during its Aug. 25 special meeting to provide the Board of Education and Board of Selectmen with a "not-to-exceed" number for the 2017-18 budget proposals.
The board agreed to have Chairman Jeff Rutishauser work with Chief Financial Officer Anne Kelly-Lenz to create a model that starts with a 0% mill rate increase and adds and subtracts non-operating changes to come up with how much funding would be available for the selectmen and education boards' operating budgets.
Non-operating changes include non-tax revenues, debt service and additional revenue from the grand list increase of 50 basis points, Rutishauser told The Bulletin.
Board of Finance member Richard Creeth believed the word "guidance" was misleading and suggested a "not-to-exceed number" be used instead.
Creeth said there are two aspects of the not-to-exceed approach — "one is not to exceed, and the other is we don't expect [the selectmen and education boards] to just come to that number — we expect [them] to build up the budget based on the factors that drive the budget."
Enrollment is one of those driving factors, said Creeth.
Rutishauser noted that student enrollment is declining at about 100 pupils or 2.3% a year, while the cost of school employees' contracts are up around 3%.
"But when you have senior teachers retiring and junior people being hired, you get an average increase of less than that — of about 2.5%," he said.
A 2.5% per-staff increase and a 2.3% student decrease, Rutishauser said, "that comes to around 0% to 0.2% as a target."
With staff accounting for about 80% of the school budget, the other 20% would be would helm to a flat number for operating — "so you can get to around a zero- or negative-percent increase," said Rutishauser.
State money
"The debt service increase over last year's budget is about $1 million," said Rutishauser said during the finance board meeting. "However, there was improvement in the actual over the budget, so the year-over-year is more like $700,000."
At the state level, Rutishauser said, the 2015-16 and adopted 2016-17 budgets showed the town budgeting 1.46% in educational cost sharing.
"We dropped up to $250,000 off of that before the state started their action, which got us down to around $1.2 million," he said, "and then the state surprised us down to $665,000."
The town expected nothing for revenue sharing from the state, said Rutishauser, but "they surprised us with a $380,000 from the sales tax sharing, which is an offset from the $665,000 off of educational costs that we did expect."
Once the mill rate model is finished, the finance board will decide on a maximum not-to-exceed number before sharing it with the selectmen and education boards.
The finance board's next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 7:30 p.m. in Room B of Town Hall.

Home General News Legion and rinks get provincial money
Legion and rinks get provincial money
MPP Laurie Scott was in Haliburton Feb. 3 to announce more than $260,000 in provincial funding for two local organizations.
The Haliburton Legion will be receiving $104,100 to help cover several facility upgrades, while Dysart et al township is getting $162,000 to renovate two outdoor rinks into multi-purpose courts for hockey, pickleball and basketball.
The money is being filtered into Haliburton through Ontario's Community Building Fund. In total, the program is supporting 186 municipalities, Indigenous communities and non-profit tourism, culture, sport and recreation organizations experiencing significant pressures due to COVID-19. Scott noted around $105 million is to be invested through the fund this year.
"This funding will help address much-needed upgrades and repairs so community members can continue to enjoy outdoor sports facilities and the services our local Legion offers," Scott said.
Legion president Don Pitman said the money would be used to replace windows ($17,000), purchase a new outdoor digital sign ($17,000), upgrade the building's water filtration system ($2,000) and its heating and air conditioning system ($65,000).
The big-ticket heating and A/C item was "an absolute must" according to Pitman, who received a $6,000 hydro bill in December due to the current system failing and the back-up, electric powered system kicking in.
Dysart CAO Tamara Wilbee said the money Dysart is receiving will be used at the Harcourt and West Guilford outdoor rinks to upgrade the surface, fencing, and lighting at the pads.
Minden, County receive money too
Scott said two projects brought forward by the County of Haliburton and Minden Hills township would receive approximately $180,000 in funding through the Municipal Modernization Program.
The County will receive $101,760 for its paramedic service master plan, while Minden Hills is getting $81,357 for HR information system modernization.
"For some time now, Haliburton has been experiencing substantially increased call volumes, pressures associated with transfers for diagnostics, as well as managing the new community paramedicine program. Given the changing atmosphere we have found the need to carefully study our management structure, assess our existing bases and determine where additional resources will be required," said County warden Liz Danielsen. "Haliburton has seen considerable growth, and we need to carve out the best path to move forward and continue to offer exemplary service to our residents."
The Ontario government is distributing $28 million to 322 small and rural municipalities through the first batch of 2022 MMP funding.
Funding for agriculture
Around $1 million will be made available to various agricultural and horticultural societies across Ontario in the coming weeks, as the province looks to assist organizations still impacted by the pandemic.
Base support funding of $1,000 will be issued to all eligible societies to support their continued incorporation and upcoming activities, with new "hardship funding" available to those that have been most impacted. Applications will be assessed based on gate revenues for 2019. Successful applicants will be able to use the money to offset operating losses, liabilities and fixed overhead costs related to land and buildings.
Money will be distributed to eligible societies before March 31, according to Lisa Thompson, minister of agriculture, food and rural affairs.
