A Hadleigh charity, which organises events to help people over the age of 60 to socialise, has voiced its gratitude, after receiving a £500 donation from a housebuilder.
The Hadleigh Elderly People's Welfare Committee chairman received a cheque from developer McCarthy and Stone to help fund the group's social outings for retirees.
Cheryl Bissett, regional sales director for McCarthy and Stone, said: "It is such a worthy local cause.
"We were keen to show our support for a group that allows retirees to enjoy the company of like-minded individuals in a warm and welcoming environment."


People in Biggleswade are registering their opposition to the latest plans for more homes the town.
Developer Bellway Homes Ltd and Bloor Homes, has submitted a planning application for 248 homes on land to the north of Potton Road.
So far out of 30 residents who have taken part in the council's online consultation, 28 have commented against the application.
It comes as the council is calling for sites to be offered up for possible development as it seeks to put together its latest draft Local Plan for development.
One of the people to oppose the plans is Biggleswade resident Simon Denchfield.
He believes the council may have given an informal 'green light' for the site to be developed and has lobbied the town's MP Alistair Burt to act against the application.
He told the Comet: "Over the last 12 months there has been intermittent pre-development survey work undertaken on these areas of land which seems to be far more than would normally be undertaken in the absence of any planning permission.
"The land is high grade agricultural land and is very poorly served by an already inadequate local road network. Biggleswade town centre, railway station and doctors are all about one mile away from the site, again with vehicle access only via an inadequate road network.
A council spokesman denied these claims however, saying: "An application for land north of Potton Road in Biggleswade has been received and the proper planning application consultation process is underway, through which residents will able to have their say and any comments will be fully considered as part of the process.
"Our involvement only began once the planning application was submitted, so no decisions have been made yet.

Batman Movies in Order – How Many Batman Films Have Been Made?

One particular of the Finest Films About Jazz
There are handful of terrific motion pictures about jazz musicians, not the very least because there have been few Black directors in Hollywood. A person of the very best movies about jazz, the 1977 movie "Passing By way of," was made by the independent filmmaker Larry Clark as his thesis film at U.C.L.A. Clark was a person of the leading associates of the so-named L.A. Riot, a group of Black filmmakers that incorporated Julie Sprint, Charles Burnett, Haile Gerima, Billy Woodberry, and Jamaa Fanaka. In "Passing By way of," which is participating in Sunday at MOMA in a retrospective of Clark's movies, the director (whose terrific-uncle was the fantastic, brief-lived pianist Sonny Clark) dramatized the planet of jazz from the inside: he confirmed that the practical struggles of jazz musicians are inseparable from the interior life—the spiritual essence—of the new music.
"Passing Through" is created on a historic framework of the small business of jazz—the connections between evening clubs, the history industry, and the underworld that produced the entire world of basic jazz a perilous one, all the a lot more so since of racist indifference to the fate of Black artists. When Charles Mingus, the fantastic bass participant, composer, and bandleader, proven a report business in the early nineteen-fifties to current present day jazz as he and other musicians saw in shape, gangsters threatened him and blocked the company's albums from distribution in file stores. When, later on in the ten years, the saxophonist Gigi Gryce formed a songs-publishing enterprise and a document label, he confronted related threats. At a time when fashionable jazz was flourishing, musicians have been occasionally compensated (even by bandleaders) in medications or provided pittances for classes in get to feed their habits. "Passing Through" distills the background of mob brutality toward jazz artists into a drama of one particular younger saxophonist in Los Angeles and his possess compact but passionate circle of musicians.
The musician at the heart of the movie, a saxophonist named Eddie Warmack (Nathaniel Taylor), has just been launched from jail his previous lover, Trixie (Sherryl Thompson), is now with one more person. Warmack reunites with his musician close friends, is effective on acquiring his chops again, and will get concerned with Maya (Pamela Jones), a photographer who is assigned to consider his image for a shiny-journal tale. But his earlier, and the earlier of the musical scene that he's in, keeps coming back again, like a recurring nightmare, and its enduring anguish drives him and other individuals in his artistic circle to desperate measures.
Warmack was incarcerated as a consequence of underworld violence—he rushed to the support of an additional musician, named Skeeter (Bob Ogburn), whom gangsters qualified for his energy to management the legal rights to his very own music. They blinded Skeeter, and Warmack killed 1 of the assailants. Now the musicians are organizing again: they have a band and a basement club to play in. They catch the attention of the interest of a white music govt, who's also plying musicians with medicine, and a white A. & R. guy, who wants Warmack to participate in a lot more commercial songs. The musicians are seeking to set up their own record label, on which they'll situation their tunes as they see in good shape, and the record businesses, obtaining wind of the options, yet again unleash gang violence towards the musicians—which Maya comes about to witness and to photograph. Risk is ambient Trixie provides Warmack a gun, and Warmack organizes an armed revenge squad.
The incredible ambition of "Passing Through" is to crack through the surfaces of drama and to get the spirit of jazz, and the actual-planet conditions of its creation, onto movie. (The songs is composed by Horace Tapscott, whose group performs it, and the soundtrack also capabilities songs by Charlie Parker, Eric Dolphy, Grant Green, and other luminaries.) The movie's opening sequence is a montage of musical creation, that includes numerous exposures of a vigorously modern group noticed in mood-wealthy tones of blue and red the quick fingering of a saxophone and the angular athleticism of drumming are superimposed to give visual identity to the music's rhythms. The sequence fuses documentary and impressionism, recording and transformation, when also crowning its painterly electrical power with nonetheless yet another rhythmic red light which is a aspect of the jazz lifetime: a rotating a single atop a police automobile.
Throughout the action, the earlier emerges not only as an impact, a established of information, or a matter of dialogue but as an audiovisual presence. Clark destinations individual and political historical past in the foreground, at the exact same narrative amount as the characters' current-tense dramas, marking memory and background as energetic forces in the building of individuality and neighborhood. Musical performances are punctuated by documentary scenes of the violent repression of Black people's protests in the civil-rights motion, fires burning as a outcome of riots, the law enforcement profession of cities, the uprising at Attica and its violent suppression—and of dramatized scenes of brutal therapy that Warmack endured and witnessed in jail. Maya is the mom of a young baby her previous husband or wife, the child's father, was a photojournalist who was killed although reporting on Guinea-Bissau's war of liberation, and Clark exhibits illustrations or photos from that conflict. (There's an extended scene of the new pair collectively, in Warmack's bare and neon-bathed rented place, that places the dialogue-hefty intimacy of a new passionate partnership at the middle of the characters' identities and quest.)
"Passing Through" connects songs not only to record but also to personalized history, in a almost metaphysical perception, by means of Warmack's recollections of his grandfather, Poppa Harris (performed by Clarence Muse, then in his late eighties, a Hollywood veteran courting again to the nineteen-twenties), a wonderful musician who was also his instructor and mentor. Warmack, on his release from prison, seeks to start with of all to see Poppa, but the elder male is reported to have gone off with a woman and has not been found in a when. In the absence of an in-man or woman reunion, Warmack remembers Poppa, and their shared past returns in visions. Scenes of Warmack's tunes lessons with Poppa in childhood are joined to Poppa's mythological knowledge, his link of jazz to the soil, his lookup for the "universal tempo" in tune with mother nature, and his spirit of flexibility, which he also transmits to Warmack as the spirit of resistance and revolt.
The characterizations in "Passing Through" remain narrow, just as the driving-the-scenes drama of plotting motion and revenge is held to a minimal. Clark rends the extraordinary surfaces to expose the fundamental essence of jazz as a vital embodiment of Black experience—and as a essential sort for its transmission, from era to generation. He reveals himself to be a thing of a hedging realist, whose feeling of psychological realism is inseparable from his notion of historical and conceptual realism. His drama (he wrote the script with Ted Lange) bears the great body weight of ideas and activities that defy all set illustration and get transformed into stark, busy symbols. That symbolic intensity finds one more historic form in Clark's 1973 featurette, "As Over, So Below" (screening now and Sunday), a harshly real looking political fantasy centered on a youthful Black male named Jita-Hadi (also played by Nathaniel Taylor), a veteran of the Vietnam War and of counterinsurgencies in the Dominican Republic and elsewhere, who is living in Los Angeles as the metropolis is less than a state of siege.
A militant group has been carrying out a collection of kidnappings, and martial legislation has been declared—only in predominantly Black neighborhoods—amid programs to imprison millions of Black People in detention facilities. Amid the city's stress, Jita-Hadi pops into a smaller espresso store operate by a Black girl (Lyvonne Walder) who expresses boundless optimism in the name of her Christian religion, and exactly where a Black guy (Billy Middleton) expresses fulsome gratitude to white persons for his modest comforts. There, Jita-Hadi encounters a mysterious woman (Gail Peters) who takes their assembly for a instant of déjà vu without offering absent much too substantially of the plot, let's just say that Jita-Hadi's stop by to the odd small café sales opportunities him into the core of the rebellion and underpins it with a confident eyesight of groundbreaking secrecy and technique.
Here, too, Clark provides background to the fore. He does it initially by showing Jita-Hadi as a child in Chicago, in 1945, as he learns of the internment of Japanese Us citizens all through the 2nd Planet War, and then by way of documentary footage of the American army intervention in the Dominican Republic, in 1965. Clark also phases an incredible sequence, in a Black storefront church, in which a preacher (Bob Ogburn) provides an ecstatic sermon of overweening optimism—rising to a fervent call for donations—that's reminiscent of an absolute basic, Oscar Micheaux's silent movie "Body and Soul," from 1925, in which Paul Robeson performs a fake preacher of dastardly intent. In "As Previously mentioned, So Beneath," Clark spotlights not religion as this kind of but a cheerful gospel of prosperity as a unsafe enemy of political consciousness. Here, far too, Clark places a intimate connection at the centre of the battle right here, way too, he composes stark and putting photos to fuse that battle with an aesthetic suitable.

Q: When you explained how to pay for a Roth conversion with IRA money, you mentioned that a 10% penalty can apply to converted money. Why is that?
View infographic: Traditional vs. Roth IRA: Which is right for you?
A: The penalty applies when the taxpayer converts before age 59½ and decides to pay taxes on the conversion with funds from the IRA.
Let's look at what happens when you withdraw money from an IRA and have some money withheld for taxes. Say, you pull $20,000 from an IRA and withhold 20% for taxes. $4,000 (20% of $20,000) is sent to the U.S. Treasury and you get a check for $16,000. The $20,000 is the total distribution and you have $20,000 of taxable income to report to the IRS, assuming all of the IRA is pretax.
The same thing happens if you convert $20,000 to a Roth IRA and withhold 20% for taxes, except your check goes to the Roth IRA. $20,000 was distributed from the IRA and is reported as taxable but only $16,000 landed in the Roth IRA because $4,000 went to Uncle Sam.
Funds converted to a Roth aren't subject to a 10% penalty in the year of the conversion. However, the $4,000 that went to the IRS isn't considered converted because it didn't go into the Roth IRA. It was distributed and if you are under 59½ subject to a 10% penalty.
The penalty only applies to the amount of the distribution, the $4,000 in this case. So, in addition to whatever taxes are due on the $20,000 that left the traditional IRA, and additional $400 in penalty will be owed. This extra cost makes converting less attractive because the effective tax rate on the conversion is higher.
Even if you are older than 59½ and therefore unaffected by the 10% penalty, it is still better to pay the taxes on a conversion with funds in a taxable account. By paying like that, you lower the amount of money in the taxable environment of a nonretirement account while also maximizing the amount of money in the tax-free environment of a Roth.

Unusual snow in May blanketed the suburb of Beijing on Monday. Also the mountainous region in Chengde City, north China's Hebei Province, forming an amazingly gorgeous scenery.
looks like kids will know what snow looks like in China in May 80 years from now……….if they survive the next ice age.
This is what the climate change alarmists want, right? Colder temperatures and more snow for a higher albedo effect to offset the rise in GHG's that will inevitably cause the planet to spontaneously combust? No wonder there were people documenting victory over the climate.

Sorry, I have 3 MR1750 units each connected via Ethernet backhaul connected back to a gigabit switch. My wifi speeds via my Dell laptop on 5 Ghz were only about 50 Mbps+ on 6.2 private beta. With 6.2 private beta 1 they improved to over 100 Mbps. I will attempt this using a RAM Disk and check speeds.
To be honest, having wireless mesh with seamless handoff at home has been such an improvement over traditional consumer grade access points I've not found a need to compare speeds against other equipment...though I am intrigued to hear that there are comparable devices that are achieving 3X the speeds.
My wifi speeds via my Dell laptop on 5 Ghz were only about 50 Mbps+ on 6.2 private beta. With 6.2 private beta 1 they improved to over 100 Mbps.
Wait....there's 2 different 6.2 betas?
Yes. At first my APs showed 6.2 private beta. A couple days ago they reflected update to 6.2 private beta 1. Or they made updates to 6.2 beta and renamed it.
Thanks for the heads up. I actually just noticed that now on CloudTrax. Well I've seen some good performance on 6.2 (nowhere near other APs in terms of speed), but I can't seem to get client to handoff between 2 AP's on the same floor, but 3 rooms apart. My iPhone still stays connected to one AP in the Master BR, but when I walk into the office, even a few minutes later it's still connected to the Master BR AP.
I encountered a similar issue with AP hand-off. Open-Mesh Support advised me to tune the RADIO signal strength lower than I had it. Resulted in less coverage by AP but also less overlap making clients more aware of a stronger signal to "grab"? Once I did this it was apparent as I walked around w a laptop connected via wi-fi. iOS devices are apparently more reluctant to hop from AP to AP if they still believe they have a signal however weak it is.
Sorry I am so late to the game, I meant to get back to you sooner but i forgot. First here is the link to the setting that resolved the 'client handoff' for Jason.
As you can tel by now most if not all of us including me that are using OM have the MR1750 and as you can tell we are very happy with them, I can't do any testing because after my move in June I have not been using my single MR1750 that I used in my 3 story house, All I can say is it covered all three floors including my outside property with good speed that no one complain. I was on FiOs 150/150 fiber internet and everything ran without lag.
The OM5P-AC excels in dense, noisy, high-demand environments such as hotels, dorm rooms, care facilities, apartments and food and beverage establishments. As a dual-band 802.11ac model, it operates in the 5 Ghz band in addition to 2.4, so it is better in noisy environments. This unit can handle the highest throughput and the most simultaneous users in the smaller OM Series form factor. This is recommended as the best performing unit in most situations where mesh or long-range coverage is not required. It includes passive and standard 802.3af PoE ports, so it can run with our line of injectors or with standard PoE switches."
"The MR1750 is our highest performance model, offering 802.11ac hardware, 3x3 MIMO 450 + 1300 Mbps rated radio speed, good range and excellent meshing capabilities. A future firmware upgrade will unlock 802.11ac performance."
One thing you should take a look at on the page is the review by pcdoc.
@itGeeks thanks for the reply and all the info!
Went with a few OM5P-AC's instead of one central MR1750 due to most rooms in the house being wired for cat5 and the install process would be VERY easy when using the Indoor Ethernet enclosure since all APs would be gateways/have Ethernet backhaul.
The issues came in with speed even 3-6 feet away when I was getting no more than 60 mbps locally no matter the 802.11AC-enabled device. This didn't make sense given the device was rated at 867 on AC and I had been testing numerous other APs with same rated speed and getting 600-700+ Mbps locally.
Luckily, I was able to get the 6.2 beta and it's been updating regularly with minor updates without notifications, but the speed did bump to over 100 Mbps when standing w/in about 3 feet of the AP. However, any further than that in direct line of sight w/in same room and the speed drops. Some improvement is good. Unfortunately you need to turn of the layer 7 DPI to get this, which shouldn't be an issue, but is.
I have been able to get roaming working finally a bet more across some of the APs, but as we know iOS devices hold on WAY too long. To get roaming working I've had to drastically bump down the power on the network to 16 dBm which is 40 mW. I see devices roam pretty quick now and have 802.11r turned on which seems to help. The HUGE downside to this is that when turning down the power this much, the 2.4 coverage is much lower and standing 10 feet from the AP and turning my back to the AP, I begin to lose reception and drop below -75 to -80 dB on my phone and similar devices.
Thanks for the update, It sounds like your making some headway. It sure is interesting how well you say other WAP's in the performance department, Like I said my MR1750 worked fine to spite any bench marking though we did not use wireless to transfer large files across our network, We only used wireless devices for web browsing, email, streaming media such as music/movies/Youtube, ect. Ouch that is a bummer that you had to lower the power that much and how it affected your reception, As we know we should be adding WAP's at every -70 dB for good overlap and extending our signal further. You may have to add more units or tryout some MR1750's to see if that works better for you. Good luck and keep us posted.
FWIW in my house, am currently running 3 MR1750 units at 23 dBm (200 mW) and the coverage indoor and outdoor has been impressive. Also enabled 802.11r but can't quite notice whether it helps. Have disabled Layer 7 packet inspection but haven't tested performance gains. I bounced between Band Steering being on and off but can't tell whether it's beneficial? They seem to have made updates to BS as earlier firmware versions seemed less refined and this feature caused client connectivity issues with devices such as Nest that have since subsided.

Issa releases letters from industry on regulations
by Aaron Mehta February 7, 2011 January 7, 2022
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, has released a massive collection of letters received from nonprofits, businesses, and trade associations regarding the impact of government regulations on job creation nationwide.
Not surprisingly, the responses are overwhelmingly in favor of decreasing regulations, with most of the letters expressing dismay at the impact regulations are having on their specific industries.
The letters, which were solicited either directly by Chairman Issa's office or through www.AmericanJobCreators.com, are available in a 1,947-page unsearchable PDF file hosted on Issa's congressional website.
Financial groups like the Financial Services Roundtable and the Commodity Markets Council wrote letters about concerns with the Dodd-Frank financial regulation law while agricultural associations like the International Dairy Food Association and the American Meat Institute had complaints about regulations from the Department of Agriculture.
A frequent complaint cutting across multiple industries centers on environmental regulations. Trade groups such as the National Alliance of Forest Owners and the Methanol Institute complain that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is particularly problematic, with "potentially significant negative impacts on jobs, the economy and the environment."
Some groups, such as the American Chemistry Council, list the specific job loss that they believe regulations are responsible for. The group writes that "just one of the Environmental Protection Agency's propose regulations — for industrial boilers and heaters (the so-called "Boiler MACT" rules) — would jeopardize some 60,000 jobs and impose capital costs on the order of $3.8 billion in the chemical industry alone." The trade association also contends that EPA's "economic models and approach to evaluating scientific information are flawed" and should be examined by Issa's committee.
In addition to their letters, trade associations and think tanks also submitted previously published reports for inclusion. At least one group, Resources for the Future, decided to take full advantage of the opportunity to share their thoughts. The file includes a copy of their 240-page report entitled "Reforming Regulatory Impact Analysis," complete with a preface and author bios.
"Policymakers often hear anecdotal examples from job creators about how government regulations impede the type of permanent, private-sector job creation necessary to successfully lower unemployment," Issa said in a statement. "This project is an opportunity for private industry to put forward detailed and specific examples so that both the American people and policymakers can determine for themselves what actions can be taken to create jobs."
Issa plans to hold a Thursday hearing on the responses he received.

RiverStone Health was created in 2008 as a single identity and umbrella organization to reflect all of our services. We grew out of the Yellowstone City-County Health Department (YCCHD), which began providing public health services to our community in 1974.
For the more than 40 years that we have served the community, Health, Education, Leadership and Protection (HELP) have been the foundation of our work.
In our role as the Yellowstone City-County Health Department, (YCCHD) we have led public health efforts to protect safety and well-being. But RiverStone Health is far more than simply a local public health department.
In our medical and dental clinics, we see 20,000 patients a year, more than half of whom are uninsured. Our clinics are part of a network of Community Health Centers, supported by federal government grants. The funding enables us to provide healthcare to all, regardless of their ability to pay. Low-income and uninsured patients rely on our sliding fee scale. In addition to our main RiverStone Health Clinic, we have satellite clinics in Bridger, Joliet, and Worden, plus a school-based health center at Orchard Elementary School in Billings, which opened in the spring of 2015.
Through the Montana Family Medicine Residency, we attract and train doctors to help meet Montana's shortage of family practice physicians, with nearly 70 percent of those doctors staying in Montana. We are one of the first eleven Teaching Health Centers in the country and our Family Medicine Residency was the first graduate medical education program in Montana.
Through our Family Health Services, with well-known services such as WIC, the supplemental nutrition program for Women, Infants and Children, and lesser known services such as Maternal Child Health and the Nurse-Family Partnership, we help families and young children improve their lives.
Through Hospice Services, we care for individuals with dignity at the end of their lives and are recognized for our excellence in quality compassionate care by the Community Health Accreditation Program (CHAP). We care for individuals with terminal illnesses in their own homes, but we are so committed to providing the full range of services that in 2011 we built the 12-bed RiverStone Health Hospice Home on Billings' West End, which offers a level of medical care normally associated with hospitals. It is the only such facility in a nearly 200 mile radius.
Our Public Health efforts to prevent infectious diseases, improve health, prepare for public health emergencies and safeguard the food we eat and the air we breathe, make our whole community a safer and better place to live. We were recognized for our efforts by the Public Health Accreditation Board and became one of the first 50 health departments in the nation to be accredited.
We serve our communities by providing HELP – Health, Education, Leadership and Protection. By actively engaging in community health initiatives, issues and concerns, we combine the strength of government with the power of vision in an entrepreneurial model that transforms how we think of public health.
Our commitment to providing the highest quality of services, delivered by the people you trust, remains unchanged.
RiverStone Health … connecting you to a better life.

Not the Beardstown Ladies' Clubs
Contributor to Wealth Manager
(see original) (other work in WM)
Wary of Wall Street and the hard sell, some ultra-wealthy private investors are seeking another path by connecting with one another to manage money and share knowledge and advice in a forum where they are confident no one has an agenda. As members of elite clubs like Tiger 21, the Institute for Private Investors, the Family Office Exchange, CCC Alliance and others, they aim to be masters over their own wealth and fortunes, beholden to no one. Here they enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded persons of wealth, exchange ideas on investing and wealth management, and sometimes invest on their own.
Those who join get first-hand advice and recommendations from specialists and experts on such matters as hedge funds, trusts, private jets, collecting, vacation homes, security, and preparing their children for their inheritance. These "peer" groups charge hefty fees and require millions of dollars in assets for membership. The threshold for membership in CCC Alliance, for example, is $100 million.
The groups are growing in popularity as the numbers of the wealthy in the U.S. proliferate. Currently, close to nine million households have assets in excess of $1 million and there are more than one million individuals with at least $10 million, according to the Federal Reserve. And studies project that some $41 trillion in intergenerational wealth will be transferred between 1998 and 2052.
For wealth managers and financial advisors alike, the popularity of these groups raises significant questions: What are club members getting that they could not receive from independent wealth managers and private client groups? Should wealth managers encourage clients to join these clubs? Do wealth managers feel threatened in any way by their existence? Would it be feasible for wealth managers to start their own peer groups? And if so, can the content of these clubs be downsized right to the typical wealth management business?
Meanwhile, financial service firms are taking a page from the clubs and offering similar fare to their ultra-high-net-worth customers: Courses, seminars, and training sessions with experts on wealth to help the next generation retain their assets--and keep their loyalty. Private banking divisions of major banks and trust companies like Citigroup Private Bank, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., Northern Trust Corp. and U.S. Trust Corp. among others, offer a full menu of programs on financial issues geared to the children of the super rich.
In addition, a growing number of firms and consultants who are not actual money managers are offering seminars, workshops, and private consultations to both wealth management firms and wealthy families themselves. This burgeoning industry illustrates the range of services the wealthy require to manage their fortunes-- from the basics of wealth management to the latest and hottest instruments, such as hedge funds, commodities and exchange traded funds.
"It's a trust issue," maintains Kristi Kuechler, director of the Institute for Private Investors (IPI). "They just aren't confident they're getting objective advice from their advisor. It's the creation of their own kitchen cabinet. Whom can they better trust? They're looking for a second opinion without any conflict, and today they feel that second opinion should come from a fellow investor."
Some very wealthy people--particularly those who have inherited their fortunes--seek out wealth education courses after being sheltered for years without having to make financial decisions. Elizabeth P. Anderson, who runs Beekman Wealth Advisory, her own boutique wealth management firm in New York, creates custom wealth education programs for families and individuals, mostly heirs. She sells no financial products.
"Anything that helps clients get a better understanding of finance and investing will stand them in good stead and help them make better decisions," says Anderson. "The number-one problem is that most of the education is being offered by organizations that are really in the business of selling products. It's unusual to find organizations that provide pure education."
Each of the peer groups has a slightly different focus. Founded in 1999 by Michael Sonnenfeldt, a prominent real estate developer, New York-based Tiger 21 has 130 members--up from just 63 in 2006--and manages an aggregate of more than $7 billion in assets. To join, members must have a minimum of $10 million in investable assets. Annual dues are $25,000.
Tiger 21 allows no corporate members, though corporate chieftains and Wall Street bankers often are presenters at meetings across the country. The majority of its members are self-made--creators of their own wealth, as distinguished from inheritors of wealth, according to Sonnenfeldt, who serves as chairman. "Some have created, built and sold their own businesses. Others are former CEOs of major corporations, and increasingly," he adds, "a subset of members is active on Wall Street either in the private equity or hedge fund world."
"What we're looking for in new members are people of the highest integrity, who are life-long earners, who can check their ego at the door, and have a passion to teach and learn from their fellow members. All our members have already proven they can perform at the highest levels of accomplishment."
Headquartered in a townhouse on Manhattan's posh Upper East Side, Tiger 21 has chapters in a number of cities across the country. Discussion topics are about 50-50 financial and non-financial, says Sonnenfeldt. Financial topics range from subjects like the eroding dollar, real estate or the role of commodities as an inflation hedge to asset allocation, including how private equity and hedge funds can enhance long-term returns. Non-financial topics more likely focus on the preservation of wealth, particularly on how children of wealthy parents are affected in positive and negative ways. Other topics include estate planning, insurance, philanthropy, politics and the global environment.
'Our members join a community of peers that would be virtually impossible to create on their own," Sonnenfeldt maintains. "On average, anecdotally, we believe our members may be getting 200 to 300 basis points of better performance, which dwarfs the $25,000 fee they will normally pay. We also want to help the advisor or manager understand why what we're doing is compatible and even supportive of their mission as opposed to being a threat."
The New York-based Institute for Private Investors has about 1,050 investor members --four out of five overseeing $50 million or more. One of four controls $200 million or more in assets. And seven out of 10 members are the principal--either the wealth creator or the inheritor--leaving 30 percent as family office professionals. Membership fees range from $6,000 to $9,000 annually.
The institute has two side-by-side memberships: private investors themselves and an advisor membership consisting of more than 200 firms that advise high-net-worth individuals. "We have separate offerings each for the private members and the advisors," says Kuechler, who is based in San Francisco. She says advisors are not allowed to solicit private members with products or services. The organization holds educational and networking events in cities across the U.S. and abroad and is supported solely by dues and educational fees.
Kuechler describes IPI as "a community of families connecting with other families to become more sophisticated stewards of their wealth." The institute was founded in 1991, she says, as a "safe harbor" where private investors could be confident that they would not be targeted by vendors and would receive unbiased information untainted by the desire to sell products. "This is consistent with IPI's mission to change the way investors work with advisors and advisors work with investors for the benefit of both," says Kuechler. Members are also active investors on their own.
Along with regular meetings on both coasts, the institute runs a private investors-only list serve on which they can ask questions of one another. "It's like a gated community," says Kuechler, who adds that almost half the queries relate to manager selection or due diligence on a manager. In fact, a recent IPI survey of members' risk tolerance found the most important risk they monitor is their managers. The list serve is only for private investor members; no professionals are allowed to participate.
The Chicago-based Family Office Exchange, or FOX, provides similar peer-to-peer services to ultra-high-net-worth families, as well as to the advisors and wealth managers who serve them. It maintains an archive of resources (strategic research, benchmarks, best practice articles and whitepapers), offers Webinars, on-line forums, roundtables, and other forms of wealth management education for its members. FOX serves as sort of a clearinghouse for its private investor membership--which is confidential--and advisory constituency. The organization has 500 members in 22 countries worldwide, including 340 families with multi-generational wealth and their offices. In addition, FOX serves nearly 200 multi-family offices and advisory firms specializing in investment advisory, wealth advisory, and family advisory services. Annual membership fees are applied on a sliding scale up to $26,000.
John Benevides, president of FOX, maintains his organization differs from other peer groups in two respects: research and advice. "We have eight on our full-time research staff. We do very deep, continuous research, including benchmarking. Also, we actually give our opinion to members --whether it's an advisor or a family member-- when asked."
A fourth peer group, CCC Alliance, was created in 1995 in Boston. It consists of approximately 80 families, each with a minimum of $100 million in family assets. "We've created a private forum where families can learn from each others' experience with governance, investing, philanthropy, operations, and family business," says Stephen Martiros, managing partner. CCC Alliance has a strict "no vending" policy and is supported exclusively by dues.
Both CCC Alliance and the Institute for Private Investors have tie-ins with the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Finance. As of May, 2007, a total of 389 investors from 24 countries have graduated from IPI's five-day residential program offered twice a year. IPI is also offering another five-day program entitled Wealth & Values at Stanford University in California.
Does the existence of these peer groups represent a challenge to the bottom line of individual wealth managers and advisors? Should they climb on the bandwagon and create peer groups of their own? IPI's Kuechler says many of the larger wealth management firms are moving in this direction, but she notes that a critical mass of 300 or so clients is probably needed to create an effective peer community.
While there is some cynicism towards the financial services industry among IPI's private investor members, Kuechler says a recent IPI survey shows fairly high satisfaction with their specific advisors. On a scale of 1 to 6, IPI members awarded a mean of 4.7 to the question agreeing with the statement: My advisor did an excellent job.
CCC Alliance's Martiros says the existence of peer groups means that as time goes on, advisors may want to make adjustments for dealing with a savvier clientele. Clients, on the other hand, are looking for new sources of financial information, he says, and seeking "to unbundle their wealth management solutions." Martiros says advisors who are highly confident in their services and don't fear weakening their relationships with clients, could provide forums for clients to meet one another and exchange information. That could be a win-win all around.
Many wealth managers agree that peer-to-peer groups are good for broad educational purposes and study, but shouldn't be viewed as a substitute for personal advice. "Peer groups have a place. I'm not sure they are the answer; they are an answer," says Judy Lau, president and founder of Lau Associates, a multi-family office in Wilmington, Del. that advises individuals and families of wealth. "They're great for education purposes. You need a place for people to get together and exchange ideas on investments. You need others to bounce your ideas off of, but they're only dealing with their frame of reference. They're not really trained to deal with other individuals and their own view of the world and portfolio management. It's not the broad spectrum of, say, 100 clients."
Arthur Bavelas, CEO of Resource Network LTD in New York, an advisor to ultra-affluent individuals and family offices globally, has led group discussions at Tiger 21 and other peer groups. Bevalas says people are better armed with investment knowledge--discussing concepts like family office planning, hedge funds, estate planning--and gain from the camaraderie, but need individual advice to properly manage their own family's wealth. "I think there's value and opportunity in all the silos. The challenge is to extract the value, and not even the smartest, wealthiest people necessarily own the skill set to extract that value."
Elizabeth Anderson, the independent wealth educator, says free of salesmanship, peer groups can be an effective tool for people. A problem, however, is that some may presuppose a level of financial sophistication that many don't yet possess. "Some may be great finding out about the latest hedge fund launch," says Anderson, "but might not be as helpful for those who need basic financial literacy."
Benevides stresses that FOX doesn't manage money per se, and people need individual advice. "The complexity of money management today is well beyond where it was in the recent past, given the proliferation and globalization of products, and people are well advised to get the qualified expertise that's needed," he says.
Some long-time advisors, however, scoff at what they consider the novelty of peer group courses for the "mega" wealthy.
Joseph R. Birkofer, principal of Legacy Asset Management in Houston, ticks off other choices open to the ultra wealthy, such as financial association programs and local experts from universities and colleges.
In terms of wealth managers setting up peer-to-peer groups, Birkofer says, "They're fine as long as everyone is treated equally well. Most clients expect some degree of customization, but the specifics of performance will never be directly comparable. Also, I don't think clients really want to compare performance because it's confidential."

MLB Game Preview: Minnesota Twins at Los Angeles Dodgers
Game: Minnesota Twins @ Los Angeles Dodgers
Time: 10:10 p.m. ET
Odds: Dodgers -225, Twins -185
It's a battle of two first-place teams in Los Angeles tonight, but the Twins and Dodgers couldn't be any more different. The Dodgers are 75-33 and have the best record in baseball. They have won eight straight games and are coming off a four-game sweep of rival San Francisco followed by a three-game sweep of San Diego over the weekend. That gives L.A. a 15.5-game lead over the Padres in the NL West Division.
Minnesota leads the AL Central by one game over Cleveland. The Twins are just 57-51, which is worse than the Padres' second-place record in the NL West. The Twins split four games with Toronto over the weekend losing the final game on a controversial call at the plate. Minnesota catcher Gary Sanchez was called for illegally blocking the plate on a play at home. The run was allowed and it was the difference in a 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays.
The Twins will go with right-hander Joe Ryan who is 8-4 with a 3.67 ERA this season. Ryan was on a roll winning three of four starts and allowing just five earned runs across 22 innings before he ran into the San Diego Padres on July 29. Ryan gave up 10 earned runs in 4.2 innings. He did, however, follow that up with a five-inning, one-run outing against Detroit last week. That gave Ryan two wins in his last three starts. The problem is that both wins were against the Tigers.
The Dodgers lineup is a little bit better than Detroit's. The Tigers are the worst-scoring team in MLB. The Dodgers are second in runs per game averaging 5.29, more than two runs per game more than Detroit. The Dodgers lineup is so deep that former NL MVP Cody Bellinger hits No. 9. On Sunday, Bellinger hit two home runs.
The Twins will also have to deal with one of the best pitching staffs in baseball. Tonight, Julio Urias takes the hill for L.A. Urias has been solid all season, but he has been at his best since the All-Star break. He is 3-0 with a 0.95 ERA and 0.79 WHIP in three starts since the break. He has allowed opposing hitters a .188 batting average. That gives Urias eight wins in his last nine starts dating back to June 18. His ERA over that period is 2.28.
The Dodgers tied their longest winning streak of the season at eight with their win over San Diego on Sunday. Since a loss on June 28, the Dodgers are 30-5. They are also 15-2 SU in their last 17 games at home and 5-1 in their last six games against the Twins at home.
Minnesota is 5-5 in its last ten games and is barely holding onto the AL Central lead. As mentioned, Cleveland is one game behind, and the Chicago White Sox trail by just two games. Minnesota has lost its last eight games against the Dodgers.

A while ago I wrote about auto-mounting media on an Ubuntu Server, and the conclusion was to use udisks-glue. Here's an updated version that uses a proper init script and works for Ubuntu Server 12.04 and 14.04.
Next, install udisks-glue. On 12.04, this is as simple as 'sudo apt-get install udisks-glue', but on 14.04 you'll need to build udisks-glue from source (which isn't very hard).
Edit or create /etc/udisks-glue.conf to suit your auto-mounting needs.
I use Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS. But udisks-glue is action less there [because /etc/udisks-glue.conf is empty].
post_mount_command = "echo test > /home/alexandre/teste.txt"
Hi, help me please, how i can include mount options in ntfs-3g driver? 4 ex: option "big_writes" And second Question, when i mount like your instruction, i can't write by user, only root, can you help me please?
Sorry, don't know. That's not really what this article is about. Likely there are some clues in 'man udisks-glue.conf' – looks like the 'automount_options' might be what you're after. Good luck.
This script didn't work for me as it mounted the disks without proper permissions for access.
the disks were mounted but no one could access them.
Had to revert to just calling udisks-glue without the init script.
Will allow all users to access the auto-mounted disks. See the man page for more details.
Hi, very interesting article. I have a doubt though. How do you make it autostart on boot with ubuntu 16.04 and systemd, instead of init?
Article applies to 12.04 and 14.04 only.
Package udisks is not available, but is referred to by another package.

Correct representation of physical processes, the parametrizations, and their interaction with the resolved circulation is crucial for the performance of numerical models. Here, focus is put on understanding model biases and developing tools to alleviate existing biases. Atmospheric blocking can divert the typical atmospheric flow for several days up to weeks and thereby impacts the mean climate of the region experiencing blocking. Models typically underestimate the frequency of atmospheric blocking. Based on results from the global climate model EC-Earth, it is found that the atmospheric model resolution is not strongly influencing the representation of atmospheric blocking once the grid reaches about 80 km grid length in the horizontal. Updating several physical parametrizations, and thereby the model version, is the largest contributor to advancements in simulating atmospheric blocking. The importance of the topography for the large-scale atmospheric flow is further investigated with the reanalysis ERA-Interim by applying a simplified theoretical analysis. It is found that the idealized topographic forcing theory can explain some part of the observed large-scale properties of the flow, though the method does mainly produce relative results. The explained part of the large-scale structure is increased during periods of northwesterly flow and when the flow impinges the mountain ridge almost orthogonally.
Small-scale processes acting in air masses transported from midlatitudes to the Arctic are also discussed. Numerical models often struggle with representing the stable conditions in the Arctic and tend to underestimate the downward longwave impact during cloudy conditions. A comparison of single-column models (SCMs) indicates that most models can capture the bimodal longwave distribution which develops from alternating cloudy and clear-sky conditions. SCMs are often used for model development as they allow to decouple the parametrized physical processes from the large-scale environment and enable many parameter sensitivity tests. A new tool is presented which can be used for the development of physical parametrizations in marine and polar conditions. It combines one-dimensional models of the atmosphere and ocean, including sea-ice, into a coupled atmosphere-ocean SCM (AOSCM). The presented setup constitutes an advantage compared to SCMs of one component because the coupling is directly modelled and the interaction between the respective boundary layers does not dependent on prescribed boundary conditions.

I'm a 40ish woman, massively overweight and grossly unfit. I completed week 1 last week and was on a high. Run 1 of week 2 was such hard work but I got through it with one 30 second pause in the middle. I was apprehensive about W2R2 but actually found it enjoyable and I did it. This morning, I tackled W2R3, confident that all would go swimmingly after my successful W2R2. How wrong I was. My legs felt like lead and it was if I was running through sludge. I got to the end of each running section but had to pause twice for a drink as I was gasping for breath. I'm now scared to move onto week 3 as I'm not sure I'm up to it. Have I taken on too much with this programme?
Not at all - you're doing fine. Slow down, as slow as you can possibly go. And no beating yourself up for a run that didn't feel great. It happens to all of us, even the graduates. Just pat yourself on the back for getting out there and mentally move on. If you don't feel ready to move up, repeat a run or two. You can take as long as you like to get through the program. You are doing great, please don't let one crummy run upset you.
I'm going quite slow already, more of a shuffle really. I'm doing the programme on a treadmill as I wouldn't dare run in public and I have it set to 3.5 miles per hour for the run; perhaps I should try 3.2 and see if it helps. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Seriously, as slow as possible. Two colleagues did the program together and one of them runs slower than the other can walk.
I don't think I could run on a treadmill; the idea of running without going anywhere would be very demotivating for me.
On the other hand, being morbidly obese (my BMI is 35.4 ) I can understand very well the issue of self-consciousness... but you shouldn't think you are running "in public", you're simply running outdoor.
More importantly, there is nothing to be ashamed of; on the contrary, your efforts be healthier do not only benefit yourself: if you think about it, your are also contributing to reduce the strain on the NHS... so be proud of every step you take!
Hi Red, you are doing a fantastic job.
The hardest part is getting started and you've done it! Just go slowly and be proud of every step you takeYou haven't taken on too much you just need to make it manageable by taking as long as you need , don't be scared in a few more weeks you will be wondering why you were worried.
I still have days when I feel the way you do ,I just slow down and look back to how it was when I started and keep putting one foot in front of the other.
Thanks. I just hope I can make it through the programme. I'll try to stay positive and thanks for your support.
Hey, don't panic! There are the good runs, and from time to time life dishes up more taxing ones that don't turn out the way we hoped. I call that phenomenon "wading through porridge runs" - they happen to everyone on occasions.
The programme IS made for you - reread your post and look at how much positive there is in there apart from this one experience. If you let the little voice take over, then the gremlins win... and we don't let gremlins win here, we boot their backsides, stick the tv remote in their gobs and get those trainers on. You've got so far already; look at what you've accomplished and KEEP GOING.
Ah, the Inexplicable Bad Run! Happens to everyone and you don't need to panic about it: just keep going.
And it's worth keeping an eye on your attitude to yourself - would you describe a dear friend as "massively overweight" or "grossly unfit" to strangers? You'd probably instead be talking about their good qualities, like, for instance, having the grit and determination to start running. You deserve the same respect from yourself that you'd give anyone else you love.
And sorry if I sound an idiot! Spent a long time telling myself I wasn't good enough so I'm a bit preachy about the joys of being nice to yourself!!!
You're so right. My doctor told me off recently for speaking negatively about myself. It's good to hear that other people have experienced the same feeling of running through knee deep mud!
The runs at the start of the programme felt the hardest for me because I hadn't exercised at all in years. Don't let it get to you. Go back out as soon as you had your rest day and if necessary repeat a run rather than move on, like someone else suggested.
Listen to Laura and keep it slow. Trust the doctors who put the plan together and challenge your body, it may surprise you.
Think I'll do another week 2 run, slow it down even more (!) and see how I get on. Thanks for your support.
You may not want to hear this but if you didn't sustain a running motion the whole time Laura told you to, that session needs to be repeated anyway. So you've got perhaps a couple more trips out with Week 2 by the sound of it (depends how quick those gulps of water were whether it is one or two more)... and then you will be ready for Week 3. But it will be at least as much about your head being ready as your body, and every run whether you complete the thing in full builds your fitness. The time when you don't *need* to do an extra session is when it feels awful, is hard but you ran for the full time Laura said.
It can be useful to have some strategies ready for when "I can't run any more" hits...slowing right down, taking smaller steps, straightening up and running tall, using your arms, and, if you're almost there at the end of the run segment, I'd say a little running more or less on the spot is OK too. It's all building the running mindset.
You're so right. I think I'd best do another run from week 2 and see how I get on. This is so hard!
I'm just a week ahead of you and recognise a lot of what you're saying. Don't lose heart. You're off the couch so a massive well done. And go slower. Lots of people said it to me. I didn't think I could go any slower, but I did. You can do this. Be kind to yourself, body and mind 😃 good luck!
I do my runs on a treadmill so no one can see me and I run at 3.5 miles per hour. I'll slow it down to 3.2 and see how I get on. Thanks for the support.
You've had so much good advice that's there's little I can add except to say you don't have to complete the programme in 9 weeks. Lots of us (maybe even most of us) repeat runs and even whole weeks because we aren't quite ready to move on to the next one. There's absolutely no shame in this - it's far better to repeat a week 12 times and end up finishing the programme than to push on to the next week and end up discouraged and give up running altogether.
If you were to go back over previous posts, you'll find loads of people complaining that the first 5-10 minutes are the toughest of every run. Personally, If I'm ever struggling to complete a run, especially if it up hill, I'll pick a spot maybe 50 yards ahead and tell myself i can make it as far as there. Then when I get there I do the same thing again, and again and again... It sounds basic and simple, but you'll be surprised how well it works.
Very very best of luck Red. You *can* do this, just take you're time!
Thank you. It's so lovely that people have taken time out of their own lives to give me support.
Totally agree with the others. My legs always feel like lead for the first few minutes. You will get there, but beware, it is addictive!
Really? At this point, I'm having difficulty seeing how that will ever be the case with me but I'm hoping it will be. Maybe in X weeks I'll be laughing at my scepticism! Thanks for the support.
I lost weight as well, using the NHS 12 week plan, which is also brilliant.
Anyway, for you now, definitely one run at a time & trust in Laura.
I'm following the British Heart Foundation diet with lots of support from the nurse at my GP practice. I'm hoping the exercise will help with my weight loss. Not seen any sign yet but I'm hopeful!
That's excellent. You will see results more in toning than actual weight loss but once into the exercise habit it will help keep the weight off.
It is good to hear about NHS support as a lot of people on the weight loss equivalent of this site don't seem to get any.
Thanks. I'm going to try repeating a run from week 2 and see how I get on.
one run and achey legs on the next making me feel as though I can't do it. However rather than going back I have soldiered on and due to start week 4 on Monday.
I feel excited and nervous and anxious all at the same time! Regardless we are out there doing some exercise and I personally don't care if I don't graduate ( although I will try my hardest ). Part of me never wants it to end.
Thanks. I'm going to repeat a week 2 run as I think mentally, I'm not ready to move on as the bad run dented my confidence that I can do it. As soon as I can get through a week 2 run without stopping at all, I'll move on. I really do want to graduate but this is so hard!
Thanks for all the support everyone. It's so lovely that people have taken time out of their own lives to support a stranger. I really appreciate it and I'll keep you posted on how my next run goes.
Thanks. Fun? You're right, I don't know it yet but I WILL keep going.
All great advice, so nothing really left to say but have a look at the number of people rooting for you, we are or have all been where you are with the same emotions, no kidding!.
It's looks like a big wall in front of you but Laura helps you pull it down one brick at a time and the view on the other side is amazing!
All the support is lovely. It's given me confidence to push on.
No, far from it. there are going to be good days and bad days. You can have a bad run in W2 or W9 or 2 years in to your running or 10 years in. I'm sure Paula radcliffe has bad runs days. You can take pauses for breath and water. You can repeat days, or repeat weeks if you need. I usd to be on my hands and knees between intervals when I started C25k, and now 2 years later and a lot fitter, my legs still feel like lead and I am still gasping for breath at the end of a wrokout - it's just the point at which that happens has shifted up quite a bit.
You definitely have not bitten off more than you can chew. You can do this. All you have to do is keep pressing play and keep putting one foot in front of the other. Everything else - the breathing, the distance, the time etc, will all come as you progress. Just keep on keeping on.
Thank you. I'll keep at it and try to ride out the rough days.
You have taken the first step and begun your fitness and weight loss journey. That is amazing. In August 2014 I was nearly 20 stone. I got an NHS referral to weight watchers and started on a long journey, which I have not yet completed. I tried various fitness things- Aquabeat, pilates, walking, visiting a gym, swimming etc. some I liked, some I didn't. Now 18 months later I have completed Couch to 5K, done a couple of Fireman's runs (about 1.7 miles) (I missed 2 through ill health but have 2 to go) and feel fitter than ever. My New Year challenge is to swim 37 3/4 miles before the end of May so my running is less frequent.
On my journey through couch to 5K which began May 2015, I have runs where my legs feel like I am walking in treacle, I can't breathe and I need to just take a pause, but I did and can run for half an hour. But I still only run/ do High impact exercise on 3 days a week. with Pilates on a day when I do not run or swim.
You are AMAZING because YOU are doing the first steps towards being a fitter, healthier person. You should take your measurements every month-Neck, Chest/Bust, Below Bust/chest, waist, hips, thigh, calf, wrist, upper arm, With diet and exercise you will see a difference quite quickly. You may see inches when you dont see weight- I lost over 2m in total so far. Just 1 stone to go.
You should also take selfies in the mirror of a full frontal (in leggings and Tshirt) and side view. You will see a difference really quickly. I really wish I had followed the advice to do that.
Good luck with your C25K. Like others have said, you can still go slower... take your time, repeat weeks/runs when you are not feeling so good about your run.
Keep up your hard work. You'll be amazed at what you can achieve and how your confidence and self love will grow, but it takes a while to stop seeing yourself as the fat person in the mirror (unfortunately).
GOOD LUCK! Keep running and try to smile and stand tall.
Thanks for such a caring reply. I do Pilates too once a week and really enjoy it as it destresses me! I like your advice about measuring myself, I'll do that.
I have just spent hours hunting for photos that show my progress over the last 2 years. I hate having my photo taken even now!
It's called a bad run, and I've had lots of them. Don't take it personally, just forget about it. The first few runs are hard. They do get easier, just a bit.
Good luck Red. It doesn't matter how long it takes you to complete c25k it's the doing it that matters. Every run matters good or hard. Remember to do some leg stretches afterwards and take at least one day rest between runs. Each run is helping your body and improving your stamina.
Thanks. I took your advice and did some stretches after today's run.
Ive just repeated my week 2 run 3 this morning. I took all the great advice; kept my walk the same speed as before but slowed my run down slightly and I found it much easier. I'll attempt w3r1 on Tuesday keeping to those speeds. Thanks for all the confidence boosting comments.
Really glad today felt better. I think the thing is to not freak out next time it's tricky, but remember today's run and know that it'll all change and then change back again and that's ok. I'm impressed you're doing pilates as well and that's going to really help minimise your injury risk and make you a quicker, stronger, more efficient runner in the long run - I really need to get back on the yoga and strength training, it is such a help.
That's great news Red. Well done. Each improvement will help build your confidence too. Keep up the good work.
First of all, big virtual hugs being sent as I know how easy it is to feel bad about yourself when trying to do something like this. I started this process last September, aged 57 and weighing over 15 stone which is nearly double what I should weigh at only 4ft 10. I took the programme slowly and repeated several weeks but finally graduated just before Xmas and, believe me, if I can do it, you definitely can! To start with, do each session at a really slow pace, so literally at the pace where walking becomes running. There is plenty of time to speed up once you've graduated although I am still not exactly speedy! I joined Slimming World at the same time as I started C25K and I found being in a diet group enormously helpful. So far, I've lost 2 st 10.5 lbs and I find the weight loss motivates me to run, while the running motivates me to stick to the diet. Win, win! I think the main thing is to stay positive (no putting yourself down!!) and realise that any progress is fantastic. It took us a long time to get this overweight and unfit; we're not going to become skinny athletes overnight but we can make amazing strides towards it if we just keep going. Good luck and let us know how you get on.
Great advice. Best of luck with your journey too.
Well done for taking up this amazing programme . Keep going , it doesn't matter if you don't complete it in 9 weeks just take your time, no pressure .
You are doing really well, you really are and YES you CAN do this !
My suggestion would be instead of be afraid of going on to week 3 stay on week 2 a little longer and once you feel happy you've cracked week 2 then move on to week 3. Although it is '9 week' programme if it takes people a little longer it doesn't matter, the aim is to get there at your own pace. Also remember that C25K training is more about building up stamina than speed! Speed comes later. Good luck. You can do this!
I think it will most definitely take me longer than 9 weeks!
Now I have just lost all confidence!
Wk9 -bad run lost all confidence and cried!!!!
