Practice . . . Practice . . . Practice!
We have been told for ions, "the only way to get better is slowly, with tons of practice." This usually discourages one from doing so, especially when we do not see immediate results. This, my friends, is the nature of golf and the analytical mind.
Most do not have a lot of free time to practice as much as the majority of "experts" say we HAVE to, to get better. The conclusion then becomes that we are as good as we are going to be. Now there is another way. I have said before, in other posts, "It is not the quantity of practice rather the quality of practice," that is important.
Practicing drills and games that are relevant to your swing will, in fact, change your game. Practicing tips from a magazine, television or even this site that are not relevant to your swing, are in vain. The objective of this site is to teach you how your game lives, grows and then to give you drills and games relevant to your success. I will structure a schedule that fits your life and grows your game.
With my drills and games you will be strengthening the weakest portion of your swing or game, resulting in a better game of golf. It is quite possible to find an hour per week at home, in the office or on the practice tee, to develop qualities in the swing and mind to see success on the course.
Drills are designed to exploit weaknesses in the swing, therefore when doing these drills the results will come gradually, while doing the drill, but will immediately begin to show up on the course.
Games are designed to develop the mental strategies of your game, becoming the staple with which you perform on the course, for the rest of your life.
Both the games and the drills do not need to be done for hours and hours, rather for periods of time available to each of you, with focus on the task at hand.
Practice the games and drills perfectly, so you can perform on the course efficiently.
Email me videos of your swing and get started today.

Peculiar on a couple points. One, someone whose career was protecting the public from harm, attacking a police officer. Two, a firefighter chooses a fire extinguisher as a weapon, a dangerous one when directed at a human head. I withdraw "peculiar," and suggest "depraved."
Looking forward to four years where the concept of "moral leadership" might be resuscitated.
At the moment, my deepest concern is the number of police and military personnel openly or covertly in the Trump camp. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/11/military-right-wing-extremism-457861

Trump still isn't done yet it seems. This picture of My Pillow CEO Michael Lindell was taken earlier today as he attended a meeting with Trump. Lindell who is a die-hard supporter and unofficial adviser of the president was seen clutching a sheaf of typewritten notes along with a cup of coffee and his phone as he entered the West Wing.

The cameras of watching journalists had no difficulty in capturing the text of the notes in Lindell's hand, and they make interesting reading:
It would appear to be yet another lunatic scheme to install extremists like Sidney Powell into high level NSC positions, and to then invoke martial law on the pretext that the 6 January riot at the Capitol was somehow the handiwork of foreign actors from China and Iran - *yawn*
Many people can be a dictator or fascist operative, but it takes a real pillow expert to smother democracy in its sleep.

The Internet is an amazing selection of businesses. Using the services of a vehicle transport company is one of them. Anytime people are looking for one, almost all they need to do is make use of the world wide web to find the closest in Aspen, CO. Additionally, the prices are generally right there for clients to evaluate, so it will be easy to find a car transport company in Aspen that meets the demands. Don't get fooled by cheap prices, they usually indicate undesirable services.
If you'd like to be thorough, be aware that this could require a bit of time. You'll want to evaluate the price and also the services as a whole. And that might be very, very hard, especially when you are in need of something far more unusual. The best thing though is the fact that you will find tons of online reviews. In there you could find info regarding incidents, business background and services.
After you have picked out a firm from Colorado the next task is to book your transport. Call or even send an email, yet be sure to ask for a verification email or fax. The vehicle needs to go through some modifications next. The very first thing is always to wash the vehicle so it will be quicker to spot any damages, then get all of your personal possessions out. Moreover, a wise idea may be to empty your fuel tank since this lowers the money necessary for the transportation.
Once the Aspen, CO auto transport firm sends the carrier for the pick-up, make sure the driver inspects your car for current damage. Everything wrong with the car is noted on a vehicle condition report which you also get. Don't dispose of it until the transportation is complete. You never know just what might take place during the shipping, therefore check out your car once the Aspen, CO car shipping firm arrives with it. If you discover damages that weren't there, ask the carrier for a signed condition report.
It is really not difficult to find a good firm in Aspen, CO for transporting cars. All you have to do is be on the lookout and think in advance. Even though it may seem like a less expensive deal, having less services offered by some auto transport companies from Colorado could cost you a lot more than you bargained. Never pay before the automobile has arrived!

Recently appointed DDMT Distribution Team Member Gordon MacGregor got off to a flying start by completing due diligence on the Defence Medical Services Diving Expedition in record time to ensure six wounded, injured and sick veterans took part in Ex RED SERPENT, a 10 day scuba diving expedition to the southern Red Sea from 29 Nov - 08 Dec 2015 organised by the Defence Medical Services Dive Club. The flagship sponsor was the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Charitable Fund but each WIS needed to contribute £1,000. DDMT are proud to have funded the £6,000.
The whole team were kitted out in DDMT exped shirts and acquired underwater DDMT banners!
Each of the six has a personal story of injury and subsequent journey of rehabilitation. Between them they have overcome amputations, paralysis, loss of limb function, and PTSD, each a shattering proposition in isolation, but often combined to provide an even greater rehabilitation challenge. For some this was the first foray into open water diving, for others this sport has proven to be a vital link back to life pre injury and participation will aid them further along their road to recovery.
The expedition consisted of 6 WIS Personnel supported by serving DMS participants, and accompanied by the requisite instructional dive staff. It is arguable that the dive vessel could moonlight as a floating Field Hospital with the range of supporting staff aboard; from a GP to Trauma Nurses and a Plastic Surgeon to a Physiotherapist. Indeed, although amusing to note, the diversity of the staff on the nominal roll is no coincidence. Each member of the team has been employed within the Royal Centre of Defence Medicine (RCDM) in Birmingham and has therefore treated and cared for multiple British military casualties in their professional capacity.

Singapore LNG completes small-scale LNG facility
Published by Nicholas Woodroof, Assistant Editor
Tanks and Terminals, Friday, 22 February 2019 09:52
Singapore LNG Corp. Pte Ltd. (SLNG) has completed modifications to its secondary jetty at its terminal on Jurong Island, and it is now able to receive and reload small LNG ships of between 2000 m3 and 10 000 m3 in capacity.
This new small-scale LNG (SSLNG) facility, completed on 13 February 2019, will help spur the development of the SSLNG market in various forms; for example, in the supply of LNG to isolated power plants in remote areas in the region, or in the delivery of LNG as bunker fuel to ships in the Port of Singapore.
The SLNG terminal's secondary jetty was originally designed to accommodate LNG ships of 60 000 m3 to 265 000 m3 in size. In June 2017, SLNG performed a Gas-Up/Cool-Down and Reload operation for the 6500 m3 LNG bunker vessel, Cardissa. Following on that success, and to better support SSLNG and LNG bunkering, SLNG took the initiative to commence modification works to its secondary jetty so that even smaller LNG ships could reload at the terminal. The modifications include the installation of a new marine loading arm and gangway, and new facilities for securing small LNG ships at the jetty.
Sandeep Mahawar, Interim CEO and Vice President (Commercial) of SLNG, commented:
"We believe that there is good potential for the SSLNG market to flourish in this part of the world, and the timely completion of the SSLNG facility is an important step forward in SLNG's efforts to support this growth. It also serves to promote the development of LNG bunkering in Singapore, which is another potential growth area given Singapore's already well-established reputation as the top bunkering port in the world. As demands builds and there is a viable business case, SLNG may consider installing topsides at its tertiary jetty to accommodate more SSLNG reloads."

Biography of Steve Jobs
Subject: Biography Topic: Biography
Steve Jobs (1955-2011) – Businessman, Inventor, and Industrial Designer
Full Name: Steven Paul Jobs
Date of Birth: February 24, 1955
Place of Birth: San Francisco, California, U.S.
Date of Death: October 5, 2011 (aged 56)
Place of Death: Palo Alto, California, U.S.
Occupation: Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of Apple Inc., Primary investor and CEO of Pixar, Founder and CEO of NeXT
Spouse: Laurene Powell (m. 1991–2011)
Children: Lisa Brennan-Jobs, Eve Jobs, Erin Siena Jobs, Reed Jobs
Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, U.S. He was an American businessman, inventor, and industrial designer. He was the co-founder, chairman, and chief executive officer (CEO) of Apple Inc.; CEO and majority shareholder of Pixar; a member of The Walt Disney Company's board of directors following its acquisition of Pixar; and founder, chairman, and CEO of NeXT. Jobs is widely recognized as a pioneer of the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
Jobs co-founded Apple in 1976 to sell Wozniak's Apple I personal computer. The duo gained fame and wealth a year later for the Apple II, one of the first highly successful mass-produced personal computers. In 1979, after a tour of PARC, Jobs saw the commercial potential of the Xerox Alto, which was mouse-driven and had a graphical user interface (GUI). This led to development of the unsuccessful Apple Lisa in 1983, followed by the breakthrough Macintosh in 1984. In addition to being the first mass-produced computer with a GUI, the Macintosh instigated the sudden rise of the desktop publishing industry in 1985 with the addition of the Apple LaserWriter, the first laser printer to feature vector graphics. Following a long power struggle, Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985.
Apple's revolutionary products, which include the iPod, iPhone and iPad, are now seen as dictating the evolution of modern technology, with Jobs having left the company in 1985 and returning more than a decade later. He died in 2011, following a long battle with pancreatic cancer.
Childhood and Educational Life
Steven Jobs was born February 24, 1955, in San Francisco, California, and was adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. He grew up with one sister, Patty. Paul Jobs was a machinist and fixed cars as a hobby. Jobs remembers his father as being very skilled at working with his hands.
In 1961 the family moved to Mountain View, California. This area, just south of Palo Alto, California, was becoming a center for electronics. Electronics form the basic elements of devices such as radios, televisions, stereos, and computers. At that time people started to refer to the area as "Silicon Valley." This is because a substance called silicon is used in the manufacturing of electronic parts.
His father, Jandali, was a Syrian political science professor, and his mother, Schieble, worked as a speech therapist. Shortly after Steve was placed for adoption, his biological parents married and had another child, Mona Simpson. It was not until Jobs was 27 that he was able to uncover information on his biological parents.
While Jobs was always an intelligent and innovative thinker, his youth was riddled with frustrations over formal schooling. Jobs was a prankster in elementary school due to boredom, and his fourth-grade teacher needed to bribe him to study. Jobs tested so well, however, that administrators wanted to skip him ahead to high school—a proposal that his parents declined.
After graduating from high school in 1972, Jobs attended Reed College in Portland, Oregon, for two years. He dropped out after one semester to visit India and study eastern religions in the summer of 1974. In 1975 Jobs joined a group known as the Homebrew Computer Club.
One member, a technical whiz named Steve Wozniak (1950–), was trying to build a small computer. Jobs became fascinated with the marketing potential of such a computer. In 1976 he and Wozniak formed their own company. They called it Apple Computer Company, in memory of a happy summer Jobs had spent picking apples. They raised $1,300 in startup money by selling Jobs's microbus and Wozniak's calculator. At first they sold circuit boards (the boards that hold the internal components of a computer) while they worked on the computer prototype (sample).
Jobs first met his future wife, Laurene Powell, in 1989 when she was a student in the Stanford Graduate School of Business and he gave a lecture there. Soon after the event, he stated that Laurene "was right there in the front row in the lecture hall, and I couldn't take my eyes off of her … kept losing my train of thought, and started feeling a little giddy." After the lecture, Jobs met up with her in the parking lot and invited her out to dinner. From that point forward, they were together (with a few minor exceptions) for the rest of his life. Powell's father died when she was very young, and her mother raised her in a middle class New Jersey home similar to the one Jobs grew up in. After she received her B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, she spent a short period in high finance but found it didn't interest her, so she decided to pursue her MBA at Stanford instead. In addition, unlike Jobs, she was athletic and followed professional sports. She also brought as much self-sufficiency to the relationship as he did and was more of a private than public person. Jobs proposed on New Year's Day 1990 with "a fistful of freshly picked wildflowers." They married on March 18, 1991, in a Buddhist ceremony at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park. Fifty people, including his father, Paul, and his sister, Mona, attended. The ceremony was conducted by Jobs's guru, Kobun Chino Otogawa. The vegan wedding cake was in the shape of Yosemite's Half Dome, and the wedding ended with a hike (during which Laurene's brothers had a snowball fight).
Jobs and Powell's first child, Reed, was born September 1991. Jobs's father, Paul, died a year and a half later, on March 5, 1993. Jobs and Powell had two more children, Erin, born in August 1995, and Eve, born in 1998. The family lived in Palo Alto, California.
Jobs had realized there was a huge gap in the computer market. At that time almost all computers were mainframes. They were so large that one could fill a room, and so costly that individuals could not afford to buy them. Advances in electronics, however, meant that computer components were getting smaller and the power of the computer was increasing.
In 1974, Jobs took a position as a video game designer with Atari. Several months later he left the company to find spiritual enlightenment in India, traveling further and experimenting with psychedelic drugs. In 1976, when Jobs was just 21, he and Wozniak started Apple Computer. The duo started in the Jobs family garage, funding their entrepreneurial venture by Jobs selling his Volkswagen bus and Wozniak selling his beloved scientific calculator.
Jobs and Wozniak are credited with revolutionizing the computer industry by democratizing the technology and making machines smaller, cheaper, intuitive and accessible to everyday consumers. Wozniak conceived of a series of user-friendly personal computers, and—with Jobs in charge of marketing—Apple initially marketed the computers for $666.66 each. The Apple I earned the corporation around $774,000. Three years after the release of Apple's second model, the Apple II, the company's sales increased by 700 percent to $139 million. In 1980, Apple Computer became a publicly traded company, with a market value of $1.2 billion by the end of its very first day of trading. Jobs looked to marketing expert John Sculley of Pepsi-Cola to take over the role of CEO for Apple.
Early in 1983 he unveiled the Lisa. It was designed for people possessing minimal computer experience. It did not sell well, however, because it was more expensive than personal computers sold by competitors. Apple's biggest competitor was International Business Machines (IBM). By 1983 it was estimated that Apple had lost half of its market share (part of an industry's sales that a specific company has) to IBM.
In 1984 Apple introduced a revolutionary new model, the Macintosh. The on-screen display had small pictures called icons. To use the computer, the user pointed at an icon and clicked a button using a new device called a mouse. This process made the Macintosh very easy to use. The Macintosh did not sell well to businesses, however. It lacked features other personal computers had, such as a corresponding high quality printer. The failure of the Macintosh signaled the beginning of Jobs's downfall at Apple. Jobs resigned in 1985 from the company he had helped found, though he retained his title as chairman of its board of directors.
NeXT computer
Jobs soon hired some of his former employees to begin a new computer company called NeXT. Late in 1988 the NeXT computer was introduced at a large gala event in San Francisco, aimed at the educational market. Initial reactions were generally good. The product was very user-friendly, and had a fast processing speed, excellent graphics displays, and an outstanding sound system. Despite the warm reception, however, the NeXT machine never caught on. It was too costly, had a black-and-white screen, and could not be linked to other computers or run common software.
NeXT workstations were first released in 1990, priced at US$9,999. Like the Apple Lisa, the NeXT workstation was technologically advanced, but was largely dismissed as cost-prohibitive by the educational sector for which it was designed. The NeXT workstation was known for its technical strengths, chief among them its object-oriented software development system. Jobs marketed NeXT products to the financial, scientific, and academic community, highlighting its innovative, experimental new technologies, such as the Mach kernel, the digital signal processor chip, and the built-in Ethernet port. Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web on a NeXT computer at CERN.
The revised, second generation NeXTcube was released in 1990. Jobs touted it as the first "interpersonal" computer that would replace the personal computer. With its innovative NeXTMail multimedia email system, NeXTcube could share voice, image, graphics, and video in email for the first time. "Interpersonal computing is going to revolutionize human communications and groupwork", Jobs told reporters. Jobs ran NeXT with an obsession for aesthetic perfection, as evidenced by the development of and attention to NeXTcube's magnesium case. This put considerable strain on NeXT's hardware division, and in 1993, after having sold only 50,000 machines, NeXT transitioned fully to software development with the release of NeXTSTEP/Intel. The company reported its first profit of $1.03 million in 1994. In 1996, NeXT Software, Inc. released WebObjects, a framework for Web application development. After NeXT was acquired by Apple Inc. in 1997, WebObjects was used to build and run the Apple Store, MobileMe services, and the iTunes Store.
Pixar and Disney
Not actually having had an official title with the company he co-founded, Jobs was pushed into a more marginalized position and thus left Apple in 1985 to begin a new hardware and software enterprise called NeXT, Inc. The following year Jobs purchased an animation company from George Lucas, which later became Pixar Animation Studios. Believing in Pixar's potential, Jobs initially invested $50 million of his own money in the company. The studio went on to produce wildly popular movies such as Toy Story, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles; Pixar's films have collectively netted $4 billion. The studio merged with Walt Disney in 2006, making Steve Jobs Disney's largest shareholder.
NeXT and Apple
Despite Pixar's success, NeXT, Inc. floundered in its attempts to sell its specialized operating system to mainstream America. Apple eventually bought the company in 1996 for $429 million. The following year, Jobs returned to his post as Apple's CEO.
In November 1997 Jobs announced Apple would sell computers directly to users over the Internet and by telephone. The Apple Store became a runaway success. Within a week it was the third-largest e-commerce site on the Internet. In September of 1997 Jobs was named interim CEO of Apple.
In 1998 Jobs announced the release of the iMac, which featured powerful computing at an affordable price. The iBook was unveiled in July 1999. This is a clam-shaped laptop that is available in bright colors. It includes Apple's AirPort, a computer version of the cordless phone that would allow the user to surf the Internet wirelessly. In January 2000 Jobs unveiled Apple's new Internet strategy. It included a group of Macintosh-only Internet-based applications. Jobs also announced that he was becoming the permanent CEO of Apple.
In a February 1996 Time magazine article, Jobs said, "The thing that drives me and my colleagues … is that you see something very compelling to you, and you don't quite know how to get it, but you know, sometimes intuitively, it's within your grasp. And it's worth putting in years of your life to make it come into existence." Jobs has worked hard to translate his ideas into exciting and innovative products for businesses and consumers. He was instrumental in launching the age of the personal computer. Steve Jobs is truly a computer industry visionary.
Apple introduced such revolutionary products as the Macbook Air, iPod and iPhone, all of which have dictated the evolution of modern technology. Almost immediately after Apple releases a new product, competitors scramble to produce comparable technologies. Apple's quarterly reports improved significantly in 2007: Stocks were worth $199.99 a share—a record-breaking number at that time—and the company boasted a staggering $1.58 billion profit, an $18 billion surplus in the bank and zero debt.
In 2008, iTunes became the second-biggest music retailer in America—second only to Walmart, fueled by iTunes and iPod sales. Apple has also been ranked No. 1 on Fortune magazine's list of "America's Most Admired Companies," as well as No. 1 among Fortune 500 companies for returns to shareholders.
Illness, Death and Legacy
In 2003, Jobs discovered that he had a neuroendocrine tumor, a rare but operable form of pancreatic cancer. Instead of immediately opting for surgery, Jobs chose to alter his pesco-vegetarian diet while weighing Eastern treatment options. For nine months, Jobs postponed surgery, making Apple's board of directors nervous. Executives feared that shareholders would pull their stock if word got out that their CEO was ill. But in the end, Jobs' confidentiality took precedence over shareholder disclosure. In 2004, he had a successful surgery to remove the pancreatic tumor. True to form, in subsequent years Jobs disclosed little about his health.
Early in 2009, reports circulated about Jobs' weight loss, some predicting his health issues had returned, which included a liver transplant. Jobs had responded to these concerns by stating he was dealing with a hormone imbalance. After nearly a year out of the spotlight, Steve Jobs delivered a keynote address at an invite-only Apple event September 9, 2009.
On October 5, 2011, Apple Inc. announced that its co-founder had passed away. After battling pancreatic cancer for nearly a decade, Steve Jobs died in Palo Alto. He was 56 years old.
Steve's final words were: 'OH WOW. OH WOW. OH WOW.'" He then lost consciousness and died several hours later. A small private funeral was held on October 7, 2011, of which details were not revealed out of respect to Jobs's family. At the time of his death, his biological mother, Joanne Schieble Simpson, was living in a nursing home and suffering from dementia. She was not told that he died.
Both Apple and Microsoft flew their flags at half-staff throughout their respective headquarters and campuses. Bob Iger ordered all Disney properties, including Walt Disney World and Disneyland, to fly their flags at half-staff from October 6 to 12, 2011. For two weeks following his death, Apple's corporate Web site displayed a simple page, showing Jobs's name and lifespan next to his grayscale portrait. A private memorial service for Apple employees was held on October 19, 2011, on the Apple Campus in Cupertino.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, former owner of what would become Pixar, George Lucas, former rival, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, and President Barack Obama all offered statements in response to his death.
Jobs is buried in an unmarked grave at Alta Mesa Memorial Park, the only nondenominational cemetery in Palo Alto.

Элизабет Макколган-Наттолл (; ), в девичестве Линч () — британская шотландская легкоатлетка, специалистка по бегу на длинные дистанции, кроссу и марафону. Выступала за сборные Великобритании и Шотландии по лёгкой атлетике в 1980-х — 1990-х годах, серебряная призёрка летних Олимпийских игр в Сеуле, чемпионка мира, победительница Нью-Йоркского, Лондонского и Токийского марафонов.

Биография
Эдизабет Линч родилась 24 мая 1964 года в городе Данди, Шотландия. Заниматься лёгкой атлетикой начала в возрасте 12 лет, проходила подготовку в местном клубе Hawkhill Harriers под руководством тренера Гарри Беннетта, который разглядел в ней талант бегуньи на длинные дистанции.

Впервые заявила о себе на международном уровне в сезоне 1982 года, когда вошла в состав шотландской национальной сборной и выступила на чемпионате мира по кроссу в Риме.

Впоследствии училась в Алабамском университете, неоднократно принимала участие в различных студенческих соревнованиях в США, в том числе выигрывала чемпионат Национальной ассоциации студенческого спорта в беге на одну милю.

В 1986 году одержала победу в беге на 10 000 метров на чемпионате Великобритании и на домашних Играх Содружества в Эдинбурге, стартовала на чемпионате Европы в Штутгарте.

В 1987 году вышла замуж за североирландского бегуна Питера Макколгана и на дальнейших соревнованиях выступала под его фамилией. В этом сезоне выиграла серебряную медаль на кроссовом чемпионате мира в Варшаве, в дисциплине 10 000 метров финишировала пятой на чемпионате мира в Риме.

Благодаря череде удачных выступлений удостоилась права защищать честь страны на летних Олимпийских играх 1988 года в Сеуле — в программе бега на 10 000 метров с результатом 31:08,44 завоевала серебряную олимпийскую медаль, уступив на финише только советской бегунье Ольге Бондаренко.

В 1989 году стала серебряной призёркой в беге на 3000 метров на чемпионате мира в помещении в Будапеште.

На Играх Содружества 1990 года в Окленде вновь была лучшей в беге на 10 000 метров и взяла бронзу в беге на 3000 метров. При этом большую часть сезона пропустила в связи с беременностью — вскоре родила дочь Эйлиш, которая в будущем тоже стала известной бегуньей. В 2022 году на Играх Содружества в Бирмингеме Эйлиш выиграла забег на 10 000 метров.

В 1991 году получила бронзу на чемпионате мира по кроссу в Антверпене, выиграла дистанцию 10 000 метров на чемпионате мира в Токио. Успешно дебютировала на марафонской дистанции, в частности с результатом 2:27:32	превзошла всех соперниц на Нью-Йоркском марафоне. По итогам сезона была признана лучшей спортсменкой года по версии BBC.

В 1992 году участвовала в кроссовом чемпионате мира в Бостоне, стала пятой в дисциплине 10 000 метров на Олимпийских играх в Барселоне, победила на впервые проводившемся чемпионате мира по полумарафону в Ньюкасле и на Токийском международном женском марафоне (2:27:38). За выдающиеся спортивные достижения по окончании сезона была награждена орденом Британской империи.

В 1993 году финишировала пятой на чемпионате мира по кроссу в Аморебьета-Эчано, стала третьей на Лондонском марафоне (2:29:37).

Пропустив около двух лет из-за травм, в 1995 году вернулась в большой спорт: была пятой и седьмой на Лондонском (2:31:14) и Токийском (2:30:32) марафонах соответственно, заняла шестое место в беге на 10 000 метров на чемпионате мира в Гётеборге.

В 1996 году добавила в послужной список победу на Лондонском марафоне (2:27:54). Находясь в числе лидеров британской легкоатлетической команды, благополучно прошла отбор на Олимпийские игры в Атланте — здесь в марафоне показала время 2:34:30, расположившись в итоговом протоколе соревнований на 16-й строке.

После атлантской Олимпиады Макколган осталась действующей спортсменкой и продолжила принимать участие в крупнейших международных стартах. Так, в 1997 году она стала второй на Лондонском марафоне, установив при этом ныне действующий национальный рекорд Шотландии — 2:26:52.

На Лондонском марафоне 1998 года вновь пришла к финишу второй — 2:26:54.

Из-за череды травм в 2001 году вынуждена была завершить спортивную карьеру и занялась тренерской работой, управляла собственной сетью фитнес-центров.

В 2003 году возобновила карьеру, а в 2004 году стала чемпионкой Шотландии по кроссу.

В 2007 году с результатом 2:50:38 заняла 25-е место на Лондонском марафоне.

В 2010 году показала 85-й результат на Нью-Йоркском марафоне (3:10:54).

В 2011 году рассталась с Питером Макколганом, от которого родила четверых детей, и в 2014 году вышла замуж за другого британского бегуна Джона Наттолла.

Self-Care from the Inside Out
A campaign focused on suicide prevention encourages teens to look after themselves, and highlights a personal story for one Havas Londoner.
"Suicide is the most likely thing to kill you if you're under 45, and rates amongst teenagers are worryingly increasing"
The opportunity to empower young people with mental health support was personally meaningful to Havas London's Senior Marketing Director Alex Lindblom-Smith, who helped bring a partnership between CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) and Topshop/Topman to a new level.
The "Care Sewn In" campaign reimagined the traditional care label, inscribing it with self-care tips and helplines, before stitching it on the outside of 13 different garments for the world to see.
With the particular aim of reaching young people struggling with mental health in school and university, Havas London's Lindblom-Smith and Ben Hawley, CALM's Marketing Director, talk about the importance of the campaign.
Tell us a little about why the "Care Sewn In" campaign was a particularly meaningful piece of work for you?
Alex Lindblom-Smith: It was around the age of 16 that a close friend of mine died by suicide. We met at a summer camp and it was the night before our annual winter reunion that he took his life. When it was announced to the group, we were all devastated and shocked. How could someone so young, with his whole life ahead of him, reach a point where death felt like the only way out?
Sadly, teenage suicide isn't as uncommon as you might think. Suicide is the most likely thing to kill you if you're under 45, and rates amongst teenagers are worryingly increasing. When the opportunity presented itself to work with CALM and to provide a younger audience with mental health support in partnership with Topshop and Topman, the team and I set ourselves the goal of making this project the most impactful and meaningful work to leave the building.
How did this collaboration between Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) and Topshop come about?
ALS: CALM and Topshop have had a strong relationship in recent years. Together they have developed and distributed the CALMzine (a lifestyle magazine with an editorial skew towards mental health) since 2011, and collaborated on 2017's "L'Eau de Chris" campaign, which led to an amazing 1,800% increase in visits to the CALM website by 18- to 24-year-olds.
In 2019, self-inflicted deaths amongst females under 25 saw a considerable rise, reaching the highest rate on record for that age group, according to the UK's Office for National Statistics. As a result, CALM no longer wanted to focus the support it offered to just men. Expanding its existing partnership to extend across Topshop as well as Topman felt like an impactful way to engage and inspire a gender-inclusive 16-24 audience.
The campaign took the care label and repurposed it. What was the thinking behind this?
ALS: All clothing has a care label inside telling you how to look after it. Our idea was to create a care label on the outside, encouraging people to look after themselves. A simple idea in theory but one which required significant dedication by both Topshop and Topman to bring it to life across 13 garments, with the added commitment of £5 from every product sold being donated to CALM.
Highlighting CALM's helpline and webchat services was a key motivation of this campaign; how do you think the labels opened up a dialogue?
Ben Hawley: On a really simple level, we want to raise awareness because we can. We know the positive impact our services have. We're currently preventing two suicides every day, and as we continue to grow, we can fund our services to meet an ever-increasing demand.
We deal with a subject matter shrouded in shame, stigma, and taboo, but it doesn't need to be that way. By putting our helpline on the outside of the garments, we want to show everyone that needing help is fine and seeking it, in some cases, is absolutely necessary.
It's work like this that gets people talking. It's about giving people the permission to have a conversation they otherwise might avoid. It doesn't need to be too prescriptive but definitely has to be disruptive, and this work is just that.
"It is absolutely vital we recognize the pressures and support this generation, as well as give them the tools they need to support each other and take a proactive approach to their own mental well-being"
"Care Sewn In" was aimed at young people—particularly those returning to or starting university. Why was it important to enlighten this demographic about CALM's services?
BH: As a demographic, recent statistics paint a worrying picture about young people, self-harm, and suicide. There is an ever-increasing amount of pressure on young people. From social media, to exams, to leaving home and starting work—all with a political and societal backdrop of uncertainty and division.
It is absolutely vital we recognize the pressures and support this generation, as well as give them the tools they need to support each other and take a proactive approach to their own mental well-being. This campaign highlights the need to let what's inside out and to tell others about your stresses and concerns in good times and bad. This sort of behavior will hopefully slow the propensity to bottle up emotions, a trait so common amongst older generations.
A film directed by Havas London creative John Ogunmuyiwa accompanied the campaign. What was the concept behind this and why were British cinemas the chosen platform?
ALS: In terms of encouraging people to talk, going to the cinema and sitting in silence is probably the most counterintuitive social activity you could do with a friend. For that very reason it felt like the most apt and disruptive place to remind people to talk.
Through social listening we found that the language and visuals people associated with their mental health were quite abstract. So, our creative starting point was to normalize talking about your emotions in abstract. Using surround sound, we brought to life the inner abstract dialogue of our protagonist and dramatized the relief they felt once they had opened up to their mates in an everyday setting.
Many marketing campaigns surround World Mental Health Day. How do you think "Care Sewn In" managed to stand out from the crowd but also fit into the larger picture of #LetWhatsInsideOut?
BH: You have to do something well crafted and inspiring. There is a lot of noise and a lot of lip service being doled out these days and there's a lot of lukewarm messaging. To cut through, you need to capture imaginations. This campaign definitely succeeded in doing that. It's a never-been-done-before idea that delivers a lasting impact and a territory for great creativity, landing heavily with an incredibly powerful OOH (out of home) and 30-second ad for cinema and beyond.
Anything else you'd like to add?
ALS: We were blown away by the response to the campaign when it launched, with the sentiment being hugely positive. All 13 products trended on the Topman and Topshop websites. But arguably, what was most heartwarming was the level of help and support offered up to the team to make this project happen. Everyone who worked on this project at Havas did it on a pro bono basis, often in their own spare time.
Havas Media worked wonders to get us 30 spots gratis in 30 premium cinemas, all in close proximity to the 15 stores retailing the 13 garments. Havas Media also secured prime DOOH (digital out of home) and print real estate, with our key visual heroed in both Metro and the Evening Standard on the day of launch for World Mental Health Day. Our exceptional production team did an amazing job to secure some world-class partners to help us bring our cinema spot to life, with Big Buoy, Unit9, and Jungle all getting involved.
BH: The power of creativity is something we try to harness at CALM and we rely massively on the goodwill and dedication of teams like the one we worked with at Havas London. It's not always easy: we still have to be demanding clients and push for world-class ideas to land, and when the work is being done, we rely on the teams taking our work as seriously as big-fee-paying clients. Everything about this campaign was top drawer, and that is a testament to the input and absolute drive to deliver a great message for our cause.

Chocolate Dipped Shortbread Cookies – Food Is What We Do!
After 15 min. of the dough chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
When the cookies are cool, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put 3 ounces of the chocolate in a glass bowl and microwave on high power for 30 seconds. Stir with a wooden spoon. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second increments until the chocolate is just melted. Add the remaining chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth. Stir vigorously until the chocolate is smooth and slightly cooled; stirring makes it glossier.
Drizzle or dip 1/2 of each cookie with just enough chocolate to coat it.

Rancho Santa Fe School District board approves purchase of more iPads
By Karen Billing
The Rancho Santa Fe School District board voted to put iPads into more students' hands at its May 1 meeting, approving the purchase of 250 new devices for increased deployment for second through sixth grades.
The $103,080 purchase will mean there will be 1:1 iPad deployment at grades fifth through eighth, and 2:1 deployment at the second through fourth grade level. Kindergarten through first grade will continue a program of six per classroom.
One parent in attendance voiced concern about rolling out the iPads to the younger grades as she said the "jury was still out" on their effectiveness. Parent Beth Nelson said before the district adds more iPads she wants to see more information on if they have improved students' test scores, bettered computer skills or have been a help or hindrance in the classroom.
"It has been anything but productive for our seventh grader," Nelson said. "It's very distracting, especially the chat feature, it's difficult for her to manage her time and it will only be more difficult for fifth and sixth graders because they're less mature."
Nelson also expressed concerns about the risk of loss or damage with younger students, and also noted that working with an iPad has been an added stress as her daughter lost work on her device twice due to software upgrades.
District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said she was sorry that Nelson's experience has been less than stellar, but said that overall complaints and incidents have been few. Admittedly, some work has been lost due to upgrades and, by a horrible coincidence, it happened twice to Nelson's daughter.
"The reality is we've had problems and the number is way too high," said Ben Holbert, the district's technology director of the 20 percent of work that has been lost. "We've done the best we can do this year but it's not going to happen next year."
Holbert said it wouldn't happen next year as the district approved purchase of a new mobile device management module, which will allow them to push applications through the air rather than take devices in for upgrades. He said as Apple can't prevent individual users from doing operating systems upgrades, sometimes the devices were out of sync when they were turned in for upgrades and work was lost.
In regards to Nelson's concern about loss and damage, Delaney said there is still a lot to talk about when moving forward with the 5/6 deployment — it might be the case that the iPads don't travel home with the students.
Assistant Superintendent Cindy Schaub also addressed the concern about the iPad's role in the classroom and its benefits. She said this year at the middle school level, with 1:1, there has been a high level of engagement; extended learning beyond the classroom; collaboration between students; and increased volume in reading and writing. Schaub said that students keep their work organized in folders; keep track of calendars; and enjoy a paperless, digital exchange of assignments and data.
"They're communicating more and more with teachers, and engaging more with the content than when all they had in front of them was a textbook," Schaub said.
She noted teacher Maureen Cassarino had previously been "steadfastly against" using iPads for writers' notebooks, preferring her students use the old-fashioned method of pen to paper.
Schaub said that now there's no way Cassarino would go back to the old method as the volume and quality has completely gone up this year due to the iPads.
"Our students live in a digital world and we've got to respond to them and meet the kids where they are or we will become the dinosaurs," Schaub said.
She said use of the iPads also complement the Common Core State Standards requirements for multi-media presentations and analysis of digital sources, and also are a step toward he district's goal of lighter backpacks.

In addition to classic, romantic and modern repertoire, Matteo and Lorenzo — joined by lutenist Massimo Lonardi — enjoy exploring the early literature for baroque guitar and theorbo. Together, Matteo and Lorenzo have recorded François de Fossa's Three Quartets, Op. 19 (Stradivarius, 2004), a CD of 17th century Italian music for baroque guitar, archlute and theorbo (La Suave Melodia, Stradivarius, 2008), Solaria, an anthology of 20th century masterpieces for two guitars (Pomegranate, 2007), the Duos Concertants by Antoine De Lhoyer (Naxos, 2007), a collection of chamber works by Mauro Giuliani (Amadeus, 2008), a collection of 19th century pieces for two guitars (Noesis, Pomegranate, 2009), the Sonatas of Ferdinand Rebay (Stradivarius, 2010), the Arias and Cantatas of Alessandro Scarlatti (Stradivarius, 2013) and the 24 Preludes and Fugues of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (Solaria, 2012), as well as a dozen solo recordings on the labels Naxos, Brilliant Records, Kookaburra, Mel Bay, and Stradivarius.
Matteo resides in Geneva, Switzerland, where he teaches at the Conservatoire Populaire. Lorenzo lives in Milan, Italy, and teaches both at the CSI Conservatory in Lugano, Switzerland, and the Conservatory of Aosta, Italy.


This glossary consists of words and concepts that we regularly use and refer to. With this glossary, we explain our understanding of those terms and give insight on why we use them.
We employ the term actors in order to identify people that are professionally and/or voluntarily involved in the music sector.
Supporting a cause or a proposal. Live DMA prefers the term "advocacy" to "lobby" because the term "advocacy" induces a general interest and cooperative dimension, while lobby refers to private and economic interests only.
When talking about audiences of concert venues and festivals, Live DMA focuses on the human and social aspect as to a purely marketing oriented approach. Consequently, our consideration of audiences is a dynamic and inclusive version of "users", "mixed community" and simply "people".
A best practice is an innovative, transdisciplinary and inspiring project. It can constitute a relevant example to follow and an answer to the challenges the sector is facing. Live DMA collects best practices among its members and shares them on its Resource Platform as a potential inspiration for all other Live DMA members.
Cultural rights, as defined in the Fribourg declaration, guarantee that people and communities can participate in the culture of their election. Cultural rights are human rights aiming at assuring the enjoyment of culture in conditions of equality, human dignity and non-discrimination.
The "cultural rights" defers from the "democratization" perspective in the sense that no culture or art form is more legitimate than another is.
The European Union defines competitivity as a city/region/country's ability to improve the quality of life of its citizens on a long-term perspective, with a high employment rate, social cohesion and a qualitative environment. Competitivity can be assessed by their capacity of maintaining and attracting activities, and by the companies' capacity to face competitors (anti-monopolistic principle).
Live DMA regularly uses the term dissemination in regards of internal and external communication. It is a technical term often used in the European programme objectives. Definition of dissemination: The act of widely spreading and sharing information.
Live DMA often refers to diversity in its activities and ethic charter. It is also a very common word used in the music sector talks, and cultural policies.
Live DMA considers the notion of diversity through three main pillars: artistic, political and economic. Live DMA venues, clubs, and festivals are warrants of music and cultural diversity because they book music in a not-for-profit perspective. They cover a broad artistic programme and audience's tastes, out of commercial logics. In this way, they respect cultural rights as they pay attention to artistic expression and diversity in the audiences. Diversity is also a challenge in the teams (staff and volunteers) to reach a gender, age, and social/cultural background balance.
To sum-up Live DMA's perspective, we can say that artistic diversity goes hand in hand with the general diversity of the music actors and democratic governance of the cultural organisations.
Educational projects aim to develop the individuals' abilities, in the context of a cultural organisation. Live DMA supports venues, clubs, and festivals that diversify their activities in order to develop their audience through social or educational projects. Educational projects represent an opportunity to introduce children and the youth in particular because they represent the next generation and may contribute to build a thriving future for the music sector.
The EU's competence in culture is limited because of the subsidiarity principle. Subsidiarity means "make no decision and perform no function at a higher or more central level than can be accomplished at a more local level". Culture remains the Member's States competence. When working at the European scale, cultural actors must give evidence of a "European added value" of their cross border projects.
Live DMA supports local, national and European initiatives related to gender equality. Women are still under-represented as musicians, technicians and in other music management positions. They can suffer from discrimination in hiring, remuneration, skills recognition, and harassment in their working environment.
In order to change our perception of women in the music sector, Live DMA pays particular attention to highlighting women's careers in our resource, panels, and communication.
The phenomenon of gentrification consists in the appropriation of a poor neighborhood by middle class or affluent people. It includes a process of renewal or rebuilding which most of the time jeopardise the poor and long-time neighborhood residents, forced to move. Gentrification can have an impact on venues and clubs causing external factors of weakening or even closure such as increasing rents, noise complaints, etc. At the same time, the development of cultural and creative spaces also triggers gentrification effects.The phenomenon of gentrification consists in the appropriation of a poor neighborhood by middle class or affluent people.

In the past 20 years, The European vision of culture has evolved from the notion of "common heritage" to "intercultural dialogue" and finally to "innovation and creativity".
The Lisbon Strategy, launched in 2000, aims to develop the economy of knowledge and innovation in order to make the European economy the most competitive economy in the world. Innovation can take various forms: material goods, intangible ideas and goods, practices and technologies.
Within European projects, innovations can be seen as prototypes to think and experiment new models, and spread (disseminate) the best practices to the largest scale.
Local authorities are organisations and institutions that represent the local government and/or that are responsible for the public services, facilities, rules and regulations in a particular area.
The term nightlife refers, in general, to activities that are available from the late evening into the early hours of the morning. Nightlife institutions include pubs, bars, clubs, music venues, concerts, events, theatres, restaurants, etc.
The vibrant nightlife microcosm comes with its own set of challenges, such as the coexistence of nightlife cultures and residents, or the risky behavior of party goers related to their consumption of alcohol, drugs and sexual activities. Hence, cross-sectorial issues such as safety, health, economy, urban development, transport, tourism and social cohesion are directly related to nightlife.
Although the venues and clubs of Live DMA network cannot exclusively be seen as nightlife actors, they are often confronted with challenges, problems and needs related to nightlife activities.
Nightmayors are recognized as official representatives of the nightlife sector of a city. They are the link between the nightlife sector, the inhabitants and the public authorities with the objective to improve their relationship and communication.
Most of the time night mayors are representatives from the civil society and themselves experts of nightlife and culture (e.g. London, Amsterdam, New York). In certain cities, night mayors are nominated among the members of the ruling party (e.g. Paris). In 2011, the first Night-Mayor was active in Groningen in the Netherlands. Following the success of the Dutch experience, the model of a mayor of the night has become more and more common in European cities during the last years.
In other cities, the night mayor concept has been adapted in different forms: Night councils and/or club associations play a crucial role in regards to the governance of the night (e.g. Berlin, Zurich).
Live DMA is an umbrella network as it gathers regional and national live music associations.
A network is a group of interconnected nodes that exchange information and that is precisely how Live DMA works. Live DMA members are all connected virtually or through physical meetings to work on common projects and share best practices, tools, expertise, data, etc. Rather than competition, Live DMA encourages cooperation to make a strong and innovative music sector, based on common values.
Non Profit organisations can make income but must not use it for their own benefit. If they make a profit they would reinvest it back into the organisation to carry out their activities and serve their cause.
A not-for-profit organisation is not an official status but is a deliberated choice of working in a non-profit way. The majority of Live DMA members are private non-profit or not-for-profit organisations.
Music venues in Europe also deserve recognition from the music industry, as most of the artists start their careers in grassroots venues. This is where they practice and build an audience. Music venues have fragile business models because they take financial risks booking emerging artists when they are not successful yet, but they never get any return on this investment from the industry.
Regulation is an abstract term that refers to a set of rules implemented by the government and/or local authorities that provide the framework for carrying out a certain activity. Regulations for the live music sector include certain legal restrictions (opening hours, sound level restrictions, etc.), laws (employment, artist engagement, minor protection, etc.), licenses (alcohol licensees, entertainment license, etc.), and taxes.
While "music industry" refers mainly to an economical approach and induces the notion of mass production and a strict offer/demand relationship, "music sector" has a broader approach where the non-business oriented organisations can be included.
Today, music professionals are subject to a sector that is evolving quickly. They constantly have to adapt and learn new competences. Live DMA aims to facilitate the training mobility and the exchange of skills, resource and expertise among music professionals. These skills can be related to audience development, advocacy, relations with local authorities, social partnerships, etc.
Music venues' main activity is to programme live music, but most of them also develop educational or social activities, support to amateur or professional artists, they work on audience engagement, sustainable actions, etc. Social responsability comprises it all, and means that music venues teams feel concerned by cultural and social challenges. They try to develop solutions, from their local to national and European level, going beyond their core activity.
In Europe, the word "territories" does not only refers to physical or administrative spaces (county, department…). It refers to areas, fields, spheres, which can also be abstract such as digital territories, scientific territories, etc.
Urban development is the fact of planning the evolution of cities (constructing, developing new neighborhoods, rehabilitating old areas, etc.) by public authorities with the integration of experts of certain disciplines, such as design engineers, project managers, architects, and environmental planners. The primary focus of urban development are residential areas. Urban development occurs mainly by expansion into remote locations or by renovating unpopular areas.
Experts from the cultural and nightlife sectors are rarely involved into the planning of urban development strategies. Hence, live music venues, clubs, and bars where loud music is an important feature are not considered as being necessary elements of new or rehabilitated areas.
We fight for the recognition and integration of the live music sector into urban development strategies in order to stop venues from having to close, but also to make sure that venues and clubs have the right conditions for their activities (public transports, signaling devices).
A music venue or club is any location used for a concert or other musical performance. They range in size, business models and genres.
The venues, clubs and festivals Live DMA represents have a cultural and social role and are the backbone of the live music sector. Venues, clubs and festivals have an organisational and cultural focus on music: programming music is their main purpose and music experts (paid or volunteers) run the organisation. They are important in the local sphere and they encourage the next generation of young cultural activists to step in the live music sector. They take risks with their cultural programmes as they programme artist that deserve audiences with no expectation of direct financial benefits. By supporting artists and providing the necessary resources for talent development, they build the strong foundation of the music sector. These venues, clubs and festivals are often so called "the grassroots". Although Live DMA agrees with the definition of this term, Live DMA does not use it anymore as it refers to a very specific historical background and cultural movement that might exclude certain typologies of venues, clubs, and festivals represented by the European network.
Live DMA simply refers to live music venues, clubs, and festivals and highlights that these are small to medium sized locations that are mainly non/not for profit and focus on programming popular music.
Volunteers are people who choose to be involved in an organisation without being paid, motivated by interest or passion. They are very common in non-profit organisations. They are very important for the live music sector and in great number in festivals. The Live DMA Survey revealed that more than 120 000 volunteers contribute every year to the venues' activities and to the dynamism of local life.

It all began in 1959, when Pierre Boulez was invited to conduct his work "Le Visage Nuptial" in Strasbourg. To form the large desk of percussions he needed, musicians from the Strasbourg Orchestra and the ORTF orchestra were brought together. The six young musicians – Bernard Balet, Jean Batigne, Lucien Droeller, Jean-Paul Finkbeiner, Claude Ricou and Georges Van Gucht – driven by a common innovative will and a strong friendship, then decided to create a percussion ensemble : repertoire, choice of instruments, everything had to be invented … the "Groupe Instrumental à Percussion" was born and later became "Les Percussions de Strasbourg".
The first concert was given at the ORTF, on 17 January 1962, in the presence of French composer Serge Nigg. Very quickly, the ensemble inspires the creation of a new repertoire by composers such as Messiaen, Stockhausen, Serocki, Kabelac, Ohana, Xenakis, Mâche or Dufourt … As Pierre Boulez says later: "A repertoire was necessary for the Groupe, but the Groupe has made the repertoire necessary."
In 1967, the six percussionists perform "Ionization" of Varèse, in agreement with the composer, while the score requires the participation of… thirteen percussionists. They carried this off with musical mastery and dramatic brio and opened the doors of success to a hitherto unprecedented musical genre. Thereafter, Les Percussions de Strasbourg has, and continues to actively commission and innovate, travelling all around the world to perform at major international festivals. Through their many travels and a strong collusion with the composers, they actively contribute to the sound research and the invention of new instruments, such as the "sixxen" designed by Xenakis.
In 2015, Jean Geoffroy becomes artistic director, the team expands and gradually integrates the fourth generation of Percussions de Strasbourg. Constantly revisiting the contemporary heritage, innovating it with the evolution of new technologies and the expansion of scenic practices and expression: that is the challenge to invent and explore the wide field of world percussion in the 21st century.
Les Percussions de Strasbourg has performed more than 1,600 concerts in 70 countries since its inception, has a repertoire of more than 300 original works written for them, has developed one of the most unique 'instrumentarium' in the world with over 500 instruments, has published over 30 recordings, and been awarded more than 30 international prizes.

Duaine LeRoy Kalkbrenner
July 7, 1947 ~ April 21, 2019 (age 71)
Duaine Kalkbrenner, age 71, of Atwater, died Sunday, April 21, at the St. Cloud Hospital.

The Python runtime sees all Python objects as variables of type PyObject*. A PyObject is not a very magnificent object - it just contains the refcount and a pointer to the object's ``type object''. This is where the action is; the type object determines which (C) functions get called when, for instance, an attribute gets looked up on an object or it is multiplied by another object. These C functions are called ``type methods'' to distinguish them from things like .append (which we call ``object methods'').
So, if you want to define a new object type, you need to create a new type object.
Download as text (original file name: noddy.c).
Now that's quite a bit to take in at once, but hopefully bits will seem familiar from the last chapter.
Moving on, we come to the crunch -- the type object.
Now if you go and look up the definition of PyTypeObject in object.h you'll see that it has many more fields that the definition above. The remaining fields will be filled with zeros by the C compiler, and it's common practice to not specify them explicitly unless you need them.
as the type of a type object is ``type'', but this isn't strictly conforming C and some compilers complain. Fortunately, this member will be filled in for us by PyType_Ready().
The ob_size field of the header is not used; its presence in the type structure is a historical artifact that is maintained for binary compatibility with extension modules compiled for older versions of Python. Always set this field to zero.
Note that the name is a dotted name that includes both the module name and the name of the type within the module. The module in this case is noddy and the type is Noddy, so we set the type name to noddy.Noddy.
This is so that Python knows how much memory to allocate when you call PyObject_New().
Note: If you want your type to be subclassable from Python, and your type has the same tp_basicsize as its base type, you may have problems with multiple inheritance. A Python subclass of your type will have to list your type first in its __bases__, or else it will not be able to call your type's __new__ method without getting an error. You can avoid this problem by ensuring that your type has a larger value for tp_basicsize than its base type does. Most of the time, this will be true anyway, because either your base type will be object, or else you will be adding data members to your base type, and therefore increasing its size.
This has to do with variable length objects like lists and strings. Ignore this for now.
Skipping a number of type methods that we don't provide, we set the class flags to Py_TPFLAGS_DEFAULT.
All types should include this constant in their flags. It enables all of the members defined by the current version of Python.
We provide a doc string for the type in tp_doc.
Now we get into the type methods, the things that make your objects different from the others. We aren't going to implement any of these in this version of the module. We'll expand this example later to have more interesting behavior.
All the other type methods are NULL, so we'll go over them later -- that's for a later section!
This initializes the Noddy type, filing in a number of members, including ob_type that we initially set to NULL.
at a shell should produce a file noddy.so in a subdirectory; move to that directory and fire up Python -- you should be able to import noddy and play around with Noddy objects.
Of course, the current Noddy type is pretty uninteresting. It has no data and doesn't do anything. It can't even be subclassed.

Amusan, Lindley begin battle for 100m honours Saturday
By Daily Sports on August 11, 2017
Nigerian sprint hurdler Tobiloba Amusan will Friday make her IAAF World Championships bow when she files out at around 11.17am for the fifth and final first round heat of the women's 100m hurdles at the London Stadium in London, England.
Amusan, one of the two athletes Nigerians are banking on for at least an individual medal at these championships, has been in fine form this season and only last June won the highly competitive and prestigious American collegiate title in a 12.57 seconds personal best time.
The time, the second fastest by a Nigerian and African woman in history, catapaulted the Nigerian to seventh position in the pre-championships ranking and makes her one of the favourites to qualify for Saturday's final.
The petite Nigerian will however need to successfully scale the first round hurdles where she has been drawn to run from lane 8.
She is however expected to stroll in to the semi-finals as she is the fastest of all the eight athletes that will battle for the four automatic slots on offer.
A win or top four finish for her will make her the fifth Nigerian athlete to qualify for the semi-finals of the event after Angela Atiede (1997 and 2003), Glory Alozie (1999), Toyin Augustus (2009) and Seun Adigun (2011).
Only Alozie managed to make it to the final and Amusan is tipped to become the second Nigerian to make it to the final and probably the second to also make the podium.
Alozie won a silver medal in the event at the championships' 7th edition in Seville, Spain.
Also in action Friday is American-born Nigerian Lindsey Lindley who will also be gunning for a semi-final ticket after crashing out in the first round in her debut in the event and the championships two years ago in Beijing, China.
Lindley will run from lane five in heat three alongside reigning world record holder (12.20 seconds) in the event, USA's Kendra Harrison, who is also the world leader in the event this season at 12.28 seconds; Yanique Thompson of Jamaica, Alina Talay of Belarus, Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas and Austarlia's Michelle Jenneke.
The Nigerian will need to run faster than the 12.90 seconds personal best she ran before coming for the championships to make it beyond the first round or she will have to settle for one of the four fastest losers slots. (Completesportsnigeria)

FTX founder Bankman-Fried to be released on $250M bond
A Southern District of New York judge agreed to release Sam Bankman-Fried on a $250 million bond as the FTX founder awaits trial on federal charges alleging wire fraud, money laundering and campaign finance violations.
The 30-year-old former crypto executive is being released to his parents' home in Palo Alto, Calif. Bankman-Fried will also be subject to location monitoring and will have to surrender his passport.
The terms of his release were confirmed by a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan.
Federal prosecutors and civil regulators filed charges last week that Bankman-Fried and his accomplices perpetrated a multiyear fraud that stole billions of dollars from investors and FTX customers.
On Wednesday night, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams announced that two key members of the former billionaire's inner circle — Caroline Ellison and Gary Wang — had pleaded guilty to criminal charges and were cooperating with prosecutors as part of an investigation into FTX's collapse.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and Commodity Futures Trading Commission have also filed charges against Bankman-Fried, Ellison and Wang.
The SEC's case includes allegations that they participated in a scheme to pump up the price of FTT — a digital token native to the FTX exchange — which the agency has identified as an investment security.
