Borgeous Rides It
By Michelle Fetky September 1, 2016
For most DJs and fans, Borgeous jumped into EDM consciousness in 2013 with "Tsunami," the mega-hit which shared authorship with Canadian duo DVBBS. The tune became a festival favorite and, a year later, a vocal version topped charts worldwide.
Fast-forward three years and Borgeous (aka John Borger) has returned with a new album (titled 13) on his new Armada Music-connected label, Geousus Records (pronounced jus-us). Mixing EDM, bass, house and indie leanings, the collab-filled full-length features ultra-catchy singles "Ride It" (featuring Sean Paul) and "Lost & Found," (with 7 Skies featuring Neon Hitch).
DJ Times recently caught up with Borgeous to discuss the new release, his influences and favorite spots to play.
DJ Times: How did you start DJing?
Borgeous: I was going out in L.A. a lot and was working at the nightclubs. I knew I could create the music I was hearing out in the clubs, so I just started plugging myself into the nights. Seeing the amounts of plays on my Soundcloud and getting a massive response to "Tsunami," I knew that DJing was what I wanted to do. So, that is where it all started, in Hollywood.
DJ Times: Who were your main DJ/producer influences?
Borgeous: Before I started DJing, I listened to Kaskade, Dada Life and Alesso.
DJ Times: Have your musical influences changed from then to now?
Borgeous: Not really. I kind of just influence myself in a way. I like to focus on what I'm doing. I hear stuff on the radio here and there, but that's really it.
DJ Times: For your new album 13, where does the main inspiration come from?
Borgeous: It comes from things that I have listened to my whole entire life – from rock to hip hop to dance to whatever other genre it may be. I don't really go into the studio with this idea of being inspired by other music. I do it because I want to do it and I didn't just want to continue doing singles. I really wanted to create an album and produce a body of work that is very diverse and represents different things that I have done or liked to listen to and combined them into 15 different tracks.
DJ Times: You're debuting your album under your own label, Geousus, in conjunction with the powerhouse, Armada Music. Tell us about your label.
Borgeous: The label is a play on my name and the words "just us." I called it that because I wanted it to represent the festival community—from the ravers to the DJs.
DJ Times: The first single that you released from the album was "Ride It" featuring Sean Paul. Tell us about that one…
Borgeous: Well, my background is Jamaican – black and white. Sean Paul is Jamaican as well and I've always wanted to do a song with him and it just felt right to release "Ride It" first.
DJ Times: What type of DJ equipment do you use?
Borgeous: Pioneer CDJ-2000s. There is a lot that can go wrong on a computer. The CDJs are definitely easier to use and are more dependable.
DJ Times: Being a DJ definitely brings you to some amazing places. What are your favorite venues and festivals?
Borgeous: Top venues are Stereo Live in Houston, New City Gas in Montreal and Create in L.A. Top festivals that I played and liked are Tomorrowland in Brazil, Spring Awakening in Chicago and Electric Zoo in New York.
DJ Times: Did you ever imagine yourself being where you are today?
Borgeous: Yes, I am a very determined, self-motivated, hard-working person, every single day, which is why I knew that I would be where I am today as a DJ. That's just how I am.
DJ Times: What advice would you give aspiring DJs?
Borgeous: Be persistent, but keep it classy and clean. Don't flood peoples' DMs and comments with promo stuff, but rather let it happen naturally. It's basically a bit of luck, timing, and skill.

Vertical Jump Training
Vertical Wisdom
How To Jump Higher in Basketball (Guaranteed In 2023)
No matter how skilled you are in basketball, there is no substitute for playing at or above the rim.
An athlete's vertical is one of the most important aspects of playing competitive basketball, but it can also be one of the hardest skills to improve upon, which leads athletes to ask how to jump higher in basketball.
Although there is a lot of focus on weight training to build core and leg strength, this is not required when looking to build the fast-twitch muscles that will lead to increasing your vertical.
Instead, what it takes is a regular regimen of four simple exercises that will take you to the next level.
1. Hill Repeats
Choose a Hill With at Least 100 yards of Climb
Sprint Up, Jog Down
Run With Your Head Up
2. Calf Raises
3. Box Jumps
4. Wind sprints
How to Jump Higher In Basketball: The Final Step
Vertical Jump Technique
Hill repeats are one of the simplest ways to develop leg strength and flexibility, which will ultimately result in an increased vertical.
Although the exercise may seem as simple as running up and down a hill, to maximize your workout, there are a couple of principles that should be followed.
To build leg and calf strength, it is important to experience sustained levels of resistance. Running repeatedly up short hills may work well for first-step quickness, but it is not ideal for muscle durability.
Find a hill where the vertical climb is at least a football field in length. This will force you to focus on sustaining speed as opposed to maxing out speed, which will yield better long-term results.
Hill sprints should not be sustained sprints. Hill sprints are designed to maximize effort in short intervals with a period of rest in between.
When training, sprint up at 85-90 percent of max effort. When you reach the top of the hill slowly jog back down the hill at about 30 percent of maximum speed.
This resting period will allow your muscles to loosen up in preparation for the next assent.
Even though hill sprints are not an exact simulation of a live basketball game, there are characteristics of the hill sprint that require similar skills as when you are running transitions on the open floor.
It is important to keep your head up when running these sprints, as it will assist in developing the motor skills to keep your head on a swivel, even when exerting maximum effort.
The second half of a hill sprint workout is a great fourth-quarter simulation, especially as it requires athletes to dig deep to finish their workout, while also ensuring they continuously remain aware of their surroundings.
Calf raises are an exercise that you can do anywhere where there is even a single stair. This exercise develops the fast-twitch muscles in the calf and ankle by consistently placing strain on these muscles.
To perform a proper and safe calf raise, take one foot and place it on the step, leaving the back half of the foot dangling over the stair. Slowly raise the heel to a fully extended upward position.
You should feel the Achilles heel to the top of the calf stretch. Perform 20 repetitions with one foot and then switch to the other. A good calf raise workout should consist of at least 100 calf raises on each foot.
You must perform the same amount of repetitions for each leg, as the goal is to build consistent strength in both legs, which will not only increase your vertical, but also overall leg strength and durability.
Shaquille O'Neal reportedly did 1,000 calf raises every day before bed, just do me a favor and do not go 0 to 1,000, please.
If one foot at a time is too much then you can start off by placing both feet on the step, still leaving the back half of the foot dangling and slowly raising the heel to fully extend the upward position.
Do this a total of at least 100 times. Soon you will be doing it with one leg.
Box jumps are a great way to increase your vertical as well as your repeat jump ability, which was the key to former NBA star Dennis Rodman's success as a world-class rebounder.
All you need for this exercise is a suitable-sized box that is at least 24 inches off the ground. Start from a standing position with knees slightly bent. Elevate from the ground to the top of the box landing with both feet at the same time.
Jump back down, landing in your original starting position, and then repeat. A good session of box jumps should consist of at least 100 repetitions, with a 30-second break in between every 20 jumps.
To mix up the training, work on the quickness of your rebound jump. Start at a moderate speed and then pick up the speed of the rebound jump to simulate a jump stop or second effort rebound, where you are trying to keep the ball alive so you can re-elevate to secure the ball and add a check to the rebounding stat sheet.
Last, but certainly not least, is the almighty wind sprint. Wind sprints are designed to build fast-twitch muscles and are a great simulation of running one length of the court.
Although it may seem simple enough to spring from one end line to the other, there are important aspects of the wind sprint that should be followed to maximize your results.
It can be easy for an athlete to simply run as fast as they can from one spot to another and then stop. This is a dangerous way to perform wind sprints as it will cause the muscles to tighten up, which will increase the likelihood of injury.
To keep your muscles loose, pick a spot at least 50 yards out to sprint to at max speed and then another spot to jog to at 30-50 percent max speed before you start your next wind sprint.
When sprinting, be sure to raise your knees high to add more resistance to the run, which will build both calf and upper leg strength. An ideal workout will entail 10 reps of sprinting and 10 repetitions of jogging.
If at all possible, the wind sprint workout should take place at a track, as this gives you a great surface to measure your sprints as well as your cooldowns.
As with all workouts, it is important to finish with a stretching period of at least 10 minutes at the end of your vertical jump workout.
Be sure to stretch both your legs and your core. Proper stretching will ensure that your muscles recuperate faster, which will yield faster and more sustainable results in increasing your vertical.
Your vertical jump technique is critical when trying to max out your vertical. With the proper jumping technique, you can increase your vertical by 2″-3″ inches.
Look how professional NBA players take off from the ground, one of the reasons they are high flyers is because they mastered the proper jumping form.
These are the best exercises in basketball to increase your vertical jump. You have to be dedicated and get to work to achieve the vertical that you always wanted, no magical shoes will make you jump 8 inches higher.
If you want to take your vertical training to the next level you should check out the vertical jump program called Vert Shock.
I did a review of this jump program that you can check out here.
The Vert Shock jump program has everything you need from a nutrition plan and improving jumping technique to a proven workout routine made by a trainer who trained athletes in over 65 countries.

The agency manages 193 million acres of public land, provides assistance to state and private landowners, and maintains the largest forestry research organization in the world. Public lands the Forest Service manages contribute more than $13 billion to the economy each year through visitor spending alone. Those same lands provide 20 percent of the nation's clean water supply, a value estimated at $7.2 billion per year. The agency has either a direct or indirect role in stewardship of about 80 percent of the 850 million forested acres within the U.S., of which 100 million acres are urban forests where most Americans live.

Rape Victim's DNA Was Used by Police to Arrest Her on Unrelated Charges Six Years Later
Loaded on March 17, 2022
Filed under: DNA Testing/Samples, DNA Evidence. Location: California.
According to an article from Forensic, a woman whose DNA sample from sexual assault evidence was used to arrest her on unrelated property crime charges six years later is planning to sue the city of San Francisco, claiming the police department unlawfully invaded her privacy. Three days prior to the lawsuit, San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin and California State Senator Scott Wiener introduced legislation to prevent such police action — Senate Bill 1228: Genetic Privacy for Sexual Assault Victims.
In February 2022, the San Francisco Police brought the property crime case to Boudin. Boudin refused to try the case, and "denounced the practice of using rape and sexual assault victims' DNA to attempt to incriminate them" in other crimes. The woman's attorney, however, filed notice of a "possible" federal lawsuit, saying her client "feels betrayed by police officers who broke her trust and violated her rights," according to reporting from the Associated Press.
Although the San Francisco Police crime lab said the use of evidence from the sexual assault kit DNA database could be considered "standard practice," Boudin disagreed.
"Victims of sexual assault consent to their DNA collection in order to apprehend the perpetrator, not so that their DNA will be retained in a local law enforcement database permanently to be searched years later," Boudin said.
According to San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott, "17 crime victim profiles, 11 of them from rape kits … were matched using a crime victims database during unrelated investigations." Chief Scott said, to his knowledge, the only arrest made using the database is the woman who filed the lawsuit. Since Boudin's complaint, the crime lab has stopped utilizing the crime victims database in this capacity.
If passed, SB 1228 would prevent law enforcement from using databases containing DNA of sexual assault victims to conduct unrelated searches. The DNA profile could only be used to identify the perpetrator of the assault. The bill would also extend DNA protections to the victims' close contacts, from whom samples are often collected to eliminate them from the suspect pool.
"Victims of sexual assault should be encouraged and supported in coming forward to undergo sexual assault examinations to identify their perpetrator. Instead, the practice by a police crime lab that my office exposed treats victims like criminals. It not only violates their privacy, but it dissuades victims from reporting sexual violence—which makes us all less safe," Boudin said.
The Forensic article notes that sexual assault is a "significantly" under-reported crime; for people who do report their assault, the testing process is long and "highly invasive."
SB 1228 would instruct the Committee on Revision of the Penal Code to address what actions are needed to prevent further invasions of privacy. The Committee is also being asked to consider a forensic oversight board.

Maple syrup is pure and natural, and producers must adhere to strict guidelines and standards set forth by Canadian law and the Quebec Maple Syrup Producers throughout the production process. Each maple harvest season, the sugar trees are tapped in a slightly different area than the previous year, preserving the health and enforcing the sustainable growth of the trees. The Canadian 'Preservation of Agricultural Land and Agricultural Activities' Act (i.e., Loi sur la protection du territoire et des activités agricoles) forbids cutting down an entire maple grove in an agricultural zone.
Right now, the total economic value of the entire maple forest is $2.1 billion USD ($2.7 billion Canadian Dollars), and it offsets the carbon emissions from 770,000 vehicles each year, or one-third of the vehicles in New York City.

Armed Forces Day Flag is flying at Borough Hall
This morning the Armed Forces Day Flag was raised to mark the start of Armed Forces Day celebrations in Bedford.
Armed Forces Day itself is this Saturday, and the Armed Forces Day flag will be flying proudly at Borough Hall throughout the week.
On Sunday the Royal British Legion's Armed Forces Day Parade takes place in Bedford Town Centre, providing us all with the chance to come together and show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community: from currently serving troops to Service families, veterans and cadets.
Network Rail Bromham Road Bridge Closure Starts Monday
Network Rail's Bromham Road Bridge closures starts on Monday 24th June and will run until Spring 2020.
This is to allow them to safely demolish and raise the bridge as part of their Midland Main Line upgrade. A diversion via the A6 and Clapham Road will be clearly signposted.
This full closure follows earlier partial and overnight closures to allow for preparation ahead of this demolition.
Underfunding HMRC is a false economy
Figures released this week show that HMRC are losing tens of billions in lost tax revenue.
During 2016/17, HMRC estimated that the shortfall was approximately £33 billion.
Commenting on these figures, which are equivalent to the entire budget for Housing and the Environment, Liberal Democrat Business and Treasury spokesperson Chuka Umunna said "For every extra pound the Government invests in HMRC, tax collection, clamping down on tax avoidance and evasion, it gets many more pounds in return but HMRC is simply not being given the resources it needs by Ministers to do the job. Continuing to underfund HMRC is a false economy."
Mayor Dave Announces Funding for Series of New Initiatives
Mayor Dave Hodgson has announced a series of new initiatives including a climate change fund, support for young people, local public realm improvements and further measures to attract people to Bedford town centre. Alongside the new initiatives, continued funding is also set to be allocated for the successful Bedford Jobs Hub.

For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church's way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.
The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God's unconditional forgiveness; as a result we are called to forgive others.
Catholics believe the Eucharist, or Communion, is both a sacrifice and a meal. We believe in the real presence of Jesus, who died for our sins. As we receive Christ's Body and Blood, we also are nourished spiritually and brought closer to God.
Confirmation is a Catholic Sacrament of mature Christian commitment and a deepening of baptismal gifts. It is one of the three Sacraments of Initiation for Catholics. It is most often associated with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
For Catholics, the Sacrament of Marriage, or Holy Matrimony, is a public sign that one gives oneself totally to this other person. It is also a public statement about God: the loving union of husband and wife speaks of family values and also God's values.
In the Sacrament of Holy Orders, or Ordination, the priest being ordained vows to lead other Catholics by bringing them the sacraments (especially the Eucharist), by proclaiming the Gospel, and by providing other means to holiness.
The Catholic Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick, formerly known as Last Rites or Extreme Unction, is a ritual of healing appropriate not only for physical but also for mental and spiritual sickness.

Kimhi, A. ; Hanuka-Taflia, N. What drives the convergence in male and female wage distributions in Israel? A Shapley decomposition approach. The Journal of Economic Inequality 2019, 17, 379–399. Publisher's VersionAbstract
We examine the drivers of the convergence of the hourly wage distributions of males and females in Israel between 1995 and 2008. Israel is an interesting case study in this respect, since it experienced declining wage inequality in recent decades, as opposed to most developed countries. We found that the gender differences in both average wages and wage inequality declined over time. In particular, average wages increased faster for females than for males, while wage inequality declined faster for males than for females. We decomposed these distributional changes into the contributions of worker and job attributes, the returns on these attributes and residuals using a Shapley approach applied to counterfactual simulated wage distributions. We found that most of the increase in male wages was due to the increase in wages of workers in high-wage occupations and industries, while female wages increased mostly due to the increase in the returns to experience. The decline in wage inequality was driven mostly by changes in attributes, the decline in the returns to education, and the catching-up of immigrant workers, and each of these components was stronger for males than for females. We conclude that the convergence of the male and female wage distributions was due to both changes in the supply of labor, especially among females, and changes in the demand for labor leading to changes in the returns to various skills.
Reitan, A. ; Rubin, O. D. ; Rubin, A. ; Kimhi, A. Privatization, demographic growth, and perceived sustainability: Lessons from the Israeli renewing kibbutzim. Sustainable Development 2019. Publisher's VersionAbstract
Abstract In 2005, the State of Israel established a new classification?renewing kibbutzim. This study examines the relationship between the extent of privatization and the various forms of demographic growth that were permissible under the new classification and their impact on the perceived sustainability of the kibbutz in these communal communities. We collected data at the kibbutz level via interviews with community managers and at the individual level through questionnaires among community members in 19 kibbutzim. We employed the ?nearest neighbor? methodology to create pairs who were demographically eligible for a before and after comparison. Although our results about perceived sustainability suggest that kibbutzim across the board have overcome the struggle to survive and have been able to recover, unlike commonly assumed, changes they adopted in the direction of more privatization and diversified statuses are clearly correlated with smaller increases in levels of perceived sustainability. Our findings may offer lessons for wider sociological questions concerning processes of privatization and stratification.
Kimhi, A. ; Menahem-Carmi, S. Does rural household income depend on neighboring urban centers? Evidence from Israel. Review of Applied Socio-Economic Research 2017, 13, 26-35. Publisher's VersionAbstract
This research explores the dependence of rural incomes on nearby urban centers, mostly implied by rural-to-urban and/or urban-to-rural selective migration. Migration flows are affected by wage differentials as well as differences in housing costs and other amenities, and by commuting costs and costs of migration. An income-generating equation, which includes characteristics of nearby urban communities among the explanatory variables, is estimated for rural households in Israeli moshav villages. The results show that the population of nearby urban communities is significantly and positively associated with rural household per-capita income. The same is true for mean income in these communities. In addition, distance from urban communities affects rural income negatively, suggesting that commuting costs are important determinants of the direction of the net migration of high-income households.

Fertility is one of the most important decisions that a household makes. The economic literature has examined numerous aspects of fertility decisions: the optimal number of children, the tradeoff between quantity and quality of children, intergenerational transfers, old-age security and intra-family insurance, the effect of children on parents' labor supply, the effect of children on parents' marital stability, and so on (Browning 1992). However, despite the emerging economic literature on the important role played by social networks in various aspects of economic behavior (Jackson 2005; Birke 2009), little is known about the effect of family composition in general, and children

A tipster informed me that MMDA will be using Western Digital WD AV-GP to support this government agency's surveillance systems. Well this is a first for me. I don't usually post a press release about our government's move in the field of technology, but I guess I will be making an exception for this one. To be honest, I am not a Western Digital lover guy but I don't have anything against the company. It's just that I had a bad experienced with their hard disk some 10 years ago. And since then I have been using a different storage product. However, I've been hearing good reviews nowadays about Western Digital and its products. And now, MMDA (Metro Manila Development Authority) have recently announced that the agency will now be using Western Digital's WD AV-GP to support their 24×7 CCTV cameras around the metro.
MMDA will be provided with 28TB hard drives as an additional storage device for the agency's around-the-clock surveillance operation. It's not new to every Philippine (Pinoy) motorists that MMDA provides a real-time video live feeds of the traffic situation here in the metro. With this kind of service coming from MMDA, it enables us to be updated, informed and as much as possible aware of the traffic situation before we leave or if we're on the road. It helps us to find the quickest route to our destination. Also, the real-time video live feeds of traffic situation around the metro are being used by other users and shared through social media networks like Facebook and Twitter.
With the aid of Western Digital through WD AV-GP hard drives, reliability and quality storage for videos captured by MMDA's traffic camera will no longer be a problem. Since requests for footage which normally takes 2 weeks to get routed, it's now a welcoming change to have the MMDA's storage capacity for CCTV traffic video archives increase from only 7 days (before) to 30 days now using the latest storage technology from Western Digital.
I am also curious about this matter and have been asking myself how can using Western Digital WD AV-GP hard drives can really boost MMDA's service. Western Digital WD AV-GP hard drives were designed for 24×7 operations because it can last "always-on" mode for video streaming. This is one of the best feature of WD AV-GP hard drives and another one is its power consumption saver feature. Western Digital have this technology called IntelliSeek, IntelliPark, and IntelliPower technologies. The combination of these three technologies, it reduces the power consumption by up to 40% compared with the company's competitors. Well, there's another one actually and you won't really notice this because it was made to behave like that – Whisper quiet. The noise level generated by WD AV-GP was minimized (less than one sone) which is below the threshold of human hearing.
Now that we're seeing some good changes on MMDA (technology side), I just hope that it would also reflect on the kind of service they are providing to the country.

The Kitchen Gallery to close on King Street by end of March
By Lindsay Christians

The Kitchen Gallery, the bright and inviting little culinary shop at 107 King St., will close by the end of March.
Owner Katrina Kelly bought the business five years ago and said she's been grateful for the "outpouring of support" from customers stopping by over the last few days. She plans to stay open until her inventory and infrastructure have sold. Currently everything in the shop is 40 percent off.
"I love our store," said Kelly. "We had a great mix of products, we had a lot of loyal customers, but that's not enough to keep us going."
Roz Anderson opened The Kitchen Gallery in 2007 at 1354 Williamson St. in what is now The Madison Greenhouse Store. In 2011, then-owners Tom Christensen and Stephanie Kessenich moved the store to King Street and expanded (a planned cooking school never materialized).
Several factors led to the Kitchen Gallery's closing. Years of construction on the east side of the Capitol Square, Doty Street and King Street cut down on summer foot traffic at the store.
But more than that, Kelly said, was the phenomenon of shoppers coming in to ask questions about All-Clad sauté pans, Emile Henry tagines and Henckels knives, only to leave and buy the items online. The Kitchen Gallery's sales have gone down 30 percent every year.
"That happened three times in one day last week before we announced the sale," Kelly said. "There's declining in-store sales throughout the country.
"I don't think you can blame it on city policies or city construction or any of that wholly. It's really just people are buying online. "
The Kitchen Gallery sold "a lot of heirloom quality pieces that would last a lifetime," which hurt repeat sales. Kelly didn't like selling a lot of "gadget-y things," though the store does have its share of peelers, whisks, egg poachers and cookie cutters.
"I don't know if it's retail downtown only that's having the problem," she said. "Our rent is high but our landlord has really tried to work with us on that. He has lowered our rent twice over our 5-year lease period.
"We were going to be re-signing, we can't pay any more and he's already worked with us."
Kelly said building owner Richard Fritz already has a new tenant for the space, an existing business that will be moving from another location. (Fritz has not yet returned a request for details on this.)
Already, shelves that used to hold coffee supplies from Aeropress and Hario V60 are bare. The cookbooks are going quickly too.
"We have had an outpouring of support," Kelly said. "Everyone has been sad about the closing, talking about favorite things they bought from here.
"The specialty stuff comes in when you get into higher-end project cooking, which is what we specialized in. When you have a good baseline it's so much easier to cook well."
Regular store hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Tuesday and Friday-Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday-Thursday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.

In Chicago, the Republican Congressional candidate has attacked the Democrat for a campaign ad featuring an Iraq War vet who supports the 9/11 victims families right to answers, and says the Iraq War was based on lies, including Hussein's connection to 9/11. According to the Chicago Tribune, "He also said he does not doubt that Al Qaeda terrorists were responsible for the 9/11 attacks.". "Last June, the Peoria Journal Star reported that Davis wore a black T-shirt proclaiming "Investigate 9/ 11@911truth.org" while sitting at a table at a Peoria library where books, fliers and DVDs supporting conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks were on display." "Seals spokeswoman Elisabeth Smith said she didn't "really see what is so controversial" about using Caleb Davis in the ad. Davis, 25, is a Peoria native who spent five months in Iraq as an Army diver and got an honorable discharge in 2004." The reporter and Tribune present the Republican view and also the Democrat side, which apparently supports the OCT as well as the right to freedom of speech, press and to petition the govt.

Other steel goal post manufacturers claim to supply anti vandal lockable goalposts, however these versions only have uprights that lock into ground sockets. Anyone with a basic spanner can undo the nuts & bolts (if not rusted) on the crossbar and remove the crossbar and then the uprights. Do not be misled by claims other goalpost manufacturers that they supply secure locking anti vandal goalposts they do not.
An additional feature only found on ITSA GOAL steel goalposts are the Industrial nylon push in arrowhead goal net fixings which help protect paint work and extend the life of goal nets. These fixings allow goal post nets to just lift on and off with ease. No tying or clipping is required, which saves hours on match days. Goal post net fixings attached to the uprights have the added advantage of preventing children shimming up the posts and extending the lifetime of the paintwork.
External and internal welds are electro plated on the corners of all anti-vandal goalposts to give added protection especially to unseen internal welds. Net supports quickly attach to the crossbar out of the reach on vandals. With no bracket attached to the upright children find climbing onto the crossbar more difficult.
The photographs taken around the UK of other manufactures goalpost highlight what the glossy catalogues do not show and indicate the problems found in heavy steel socketed and free standing movable football goal posts . We have never made dangerous heavy free standing steel goalposts and do not recommend that they be used at all.We never put commercial interests before the safety of customers and children.
The picture below shows our electro plated steel goal corner and also a few of the problems we have encountered over the years with football goals manufactured by others.

Low net supports aid climbing and may become detached.


The improv community is trying to promote diversity by having diversity jams. I attend from time to time, for age diversity. There aren't too many active improvisers who have white hair.
Sadly, the theater called UCB East, aka "The Beast," is closing. Apparently, UCB is choosing to concentrate its resources at the Hell's Kitchen location, which I haven't yet visited. I've done several class shows and jams at The Beast. It's not very convenient for me, coming into NYC on MetroNorth, arriving at GCT, but it's been a major part of the NYC improv scene for a number of years.
The penultimate Diversity Jam at UCBeast was January 27. I was there. Here are some set photos that include me on stage.


Walton Hall Golf Club is situated on the edge of Walton Gardens, the land originally acquired by the Greenall family in 1812 and then purchased by Warrington Borough Council in 1941, opening to the public in 1945. The golf course did not appear until 1971, commencing with just nine holes but then extended and redesigned in 1977 by Dave Thomas and Peter Allis to provide the full 18 holes, meandering up the hillside to provide magnificent views across Warrington and the Cheshire countryside.
This challenging course is open to the public but also offers membership to both ladies and men.
The Ladies Section play on Saturday mornings, teeing off from 9.00 am during summertime, and 10.00 am during winter.
The Mens Section play on Sunday mornings with tees reserved between 7:30 am and 9:00 am. A full range of competitions are held throughout the year, weather permitting.
For detailed information please see the relevant sections.

Fear is a funny thing. It can also be a deadly thing. The hatred being displayed all over the country right now stems from fear. Fear of disrupting the norm, of people who are different. At the same time, the unwillingness to be who you really are also stems from fear. Fear of being different. Fear of judgment and negative reactions. The latter fear is in hopes of preventing the former fear from igniting into hatred.
But this terribly dysfunctional system requires balance. People who are different must be in constant fear so that those opposed to their differences won't be in fear. In the same way, people can only be who they are if that fear of intolerance doesn't exist. One group has to compromise. The problem is: the opposers are never going to compromise. Even if their fear doesn't manifest as violence, they'll still have to live in constant fear. And that's no fun for anyone.
And "just get over it" isn't going to work for someone in whom fear is that deeply engrained.
So what's the solution? Simply put, love.
And I'm not suggesting this solution to the opposers. It's hard to imagine that people with that much/that category of fear have any room left in their hearts for anything else. It would be incredible if they could be led to love, but that's grasping at straws. The only thing we can do is show them true love by example.
Obviously, love won't bring recent victims back or put an immediate end to intolerance and hatred. It's absolutely a risky choice. Letting your guard down leaves you feeling defenseless. But, what love will do is put the fear of people who are terrified to be themselves to rest. Replace your fear with love for the opposers and, at the least, you can approach this issue with a mind at ease. Instead of being fearful, question why those in fear are the way they are; what's the root of it? This seems oversimplified, I know. And I have not directly experienced the pain or torment brought about by being gay or a race other than white by those in fear. But I know and love people who have, and it's the only route I've tried that at least brings me a little comfort, a little hope and a lot of empathy.
This isn't a short-term solution. Love has to be the overwhelming reaction from those who suffer from the results of intolerance for a long time until it makes a difference. And it won't change or prevent more violence from occurring. Love can't treat the symptoms of hate in this world, but it can become a lifelong healing process to discover and solve the root issue. Fear is inevitable, no matter what you believe. But it can and must be overcome. Dare to be yourself and then dare to love others.
