I'm a relatively short woman at 168 cm (5ft 6 inches) but I've met quite a few female road cyclists who are shorter than me, and one of them mention what women have trouble finding bikes to 'fit'.
I've done a bit of research and here's a list of women's specific road bikes I've found cover this nice compact size. This list is not exhaustive but will give you an idea of the bike manufacturers who are committed to making bikes for shorter women.
Gone are the days when the bicycle companies predigested men's bicycles to pink and called them women's bikes. There are many small road bikes for you to use today.
Quality brands will adjust the geometry or redesign of small bicycles. From my perspective, if you are short who size in at 5 foot 5 or under should really consider a women's specific bike.
Most bicycle manufacturers design based on the concept that women are shorter than men. This means that when you sit on a bicycle and stretch for the bar, they should be comfortably within reach.
Women's-specific road bicycles offer more choices in frame sizes – especially for smaller cyclists, which means that the new cycling requires less "tweaking" to get its geometry right.
The average woman needs a female-specific saddle, handlebars, and cranks, to make the bike fit. Choosing a women's road bike is also content to carry with your weight around your hips as opposed to your upper body.
Women are usually lighter and have less muscle mass, which needs the weight of a women's bicycle is a smaller proportion of a rider, and it does not need to be as hard as women generally produce less power.
Of course, one of the main reasons for choosing a small road bike or extra small is obviously that you are short. You have proportionally shorter arms than most men.
What size bike do I need? From the list above, you can find that different models may cover different height range. Check your model and matching the size chart.
The road bike is not only a type. It's a big category that encompasses different sub-types for different purposes. You saw in the Tour de France are race road bikes.
I suppose you're not looking for a bicycle with speed for glory. So, there are two types of road bike may be suitable for you.
That two subtypes of road bike sure help you build muscles and scrape your legs, but they handle different distances and terrain ranges.
If you plan to do weekend road rides, mileage tests at some point, or maybe commuting too, I recommend an endurance road bike. As the name implies, those bikes are designed for long-distance or big riding.
They tend to have more upright positions to provide you with comfort and efficiency, rather than full out speed. But they are often light and fast too, as well as have a drop handlebar to help you complete your first century (100 miles).
The alternative is a hybrid bike(a bike category) with a flat bar(lack less aerodynamic position). It's named gravel bike which can be ridden both on and off road. The disc brakes provide braking force more powerful than rim brakes.
If you're planning little riding(under 20miles), cross commute with pebbles or loose gravel, the gravel bike may be appropriate, but broader tires(from 32mm) and upright riding postures will slow you down and make it uncomfortable for any long ride.
Have you decided which type to choose based on your terrain? And then is your budget. For social riding and commuter cycling at the lower end of the cost range just ok, but if you want to events or just do long, fast rides, you might want to consider investing a bit more. Words of wisdom, a decent women's road bike costs from 500 dollars.
The money you pay determines whether your bike is heavy or light, smoothly shifting or not. However, you don't need to waste time thinking about bicycle material, manufacturers have their own pricing strategies.
So, you've filtered your models but bothers with different gears.
Endurance road bikes common set-up a compact crankset which the large chainring with 50-teeth and the small chainring with 34-teeth, which provides easier pedaling ratios to climbs when compared to a regular set-up(53/39).
The gravel bikes feature with the crankset that has a 46 tooth large chainring, paired with a 34 tooth small chainring option for commuting, fitness or cross cycling.
The front chainring set-up is the foundation for the gear ratios, which the cassette on the back compliments. The cassette is made up of a number of cogs or sprockets which can be changed to make the gear ratio easier or harder.
A close ratio cassette (such as an 11-25) means the gears are close together, so you can always find the perfect gear. That is good at competitions or flat riding when you don't want to waste any energy.
However, this means your biggest cog (lowest resistance) has 25 teeth which is not generally considered a climbing gear.
A wider ratio cassette (like 11-32) means the gears are very spread out, you'll notice a distinct difference when you shift, but you'll have a lot more scope to drop down the gears on a hilly sportive.
The cogs in between these two have a spread of teeth aimed to make shifting between gears smooth. The larger the difference between the smallest and largest cog on the cassette, the greater the chain has to move and the less consistent a rider's cadence becomes between gear changes.
Choosing a bike with smaller chainrings on the front and a larger ratio cassette on the back will provide a greater spread of gears and easier pedaling ratios.
Opposite, the bike with larger front chain rings and a smaller ratio cassette on the back will be more targeted for speed, provide less range of gears and provide consistently smaller changes to a rider's cadence than a cassette with a larger ratio.
The crankset's gear ratio from the store is no obstacle, you need to consider is cassette's. If your terrain has too many hills, choose a large ratio of the cassette, otherwise, think about the little's one.
Endurance road bikes are equipped with road groupset like race road. Gravel thought is a subtype of the road but it belongs to the hybrid bike. So some gravel bikes models use mountain groupset. Some are a mix.
Populo is a brand that mainly deals with city bikes. The route classic women's bike comes to a Step-Through design that is convenient for a lady to stand up.
The frame makes with Chromoly steel which little heavier than an aluminum bike, but offer a lively riding.
Shimano Claris drivetrain provides smooth shifting and braking. When you look up, you find that you are far away from home.
In terms of appearance, Populo Route Classic is not really a road bike, it still belongs to a city bike.
If you're tired of your cruiser bike and want to ride farther or commute to school, Populo Route Classic is still an affordable option.
If you want to take part in your first Iron Man bicycle race, check next(an endurance road bike).
Raleigh Revere 1 feature entry-level components which offer a good choice for commuting, cruising, and building fitness at a very affordable price.
It's made of aluminum, lightweight and about 22 pounds. You can lift it easily with one hand.
The pyramid gears(11-32t) at the rear are nimble and confidence-inspiring you climb hills without needing you to jump down and push.
A cushioned ride with space for 28mm tires, it makes for a perfect road bike that can qualify to take a fire road off side.
Revere 1 is equipped with saddles and handles for ladies. A beautiful and cleanlily facade, the frame also is designed according to the proportion of women's body.
For me personally, the Raleigh Revere 1 is a worthy bike for beginners. The 2×8 speed set-up should keep you covered in most situations.
Diamondback uses its enhanced performance geometry for Arden 2, which provides a more comfortable position than race road bicycles.
The Arden 2 frame is made of aluminum alloy and available in five sizes from 48 cm to 56 cm. It is equipped with formed and butted tubes designed to provide a soft, lightweight and durable ride.
2×9-speed Shimano Sora groupset more smoothly shifting than Claris. Arden 2 includes mechanical disc brakes that provide reliable braking power.
I approve the Arden 2 goal is to provide efficient and easeful bicycles for women who want to build fitness, explore local roads or go in organized cycling.
Finest 2.3 is an endurance road bike cater to the women. Fuji uses an aluminum frame with a carbon fork to absorb some bumps and road vibrations which provide a smoother ride experience.
Fuji created Finest's seat tube, whose unique design aims to digest road vibration while improving long-distance ride comfort. That tubes' design with wind tunnel provides a little aerodynamic advantage.
You're looking for a bicycle to join some charity rides with your friends and extend your health in the process, the Finest 2.3 is a versatile option for pursuing your road riding goals, whatever they are.
Co-Op Cycles is the largest outdoor company in the United States rei own brand launched in 2017. ARD 1.1W has been widely recognized by women.
ARD 1.1W is built for gravel riding. The configuration is basically the same as Fuji Finest 2.3. The carbon fiber front fork provides lightweight performance and can stabilize the ride up front.
The wheels just 28mm wide, maybe it's enough for someone. But wider tires are suitable for pad rough pavement and satisfying the impulse to explore gravel paths. So I think it is not been carefully thought out, although it can be replaced to 35 mm wide tires.
However, the ARD 1.1W is a really good way to help with customer retention for rei that can capture a new group of people who are looking for entry level quality, a great price point, and a community.
Cannondale is a brand you've absolutely heard of. Its Women's Quick 7 is a great all-round ride. Cannondale's Quick series of the hybrid bikes are known for the quality of rides provide on urban roads.
Whether it's on the way to work or a fitness ride, the women's Quick 7 is made for comfort with a stable riding quality and upright riding position.
For maximum comfort and control, the Quick's SmartForm C3 alloy frame features Cannondale's proprietary SAVE micro-suspension to absorb shock and reduce vibration on rough roads. The Chromoly fork to further cut down the vibration from the front wheel.
The Quick 7 powered with Shimano Altus/Acera drivetrain that is a mid-level mountain bike gears, while is very good for urban commuting and mid-long-distance riding on urban roads or highways. The 24-speed is easy to climb overpasses. Moreover, as the 35c tires, it's great for riding on unsurfaced with the kids.
Diamondback Haanjenn 1 is a good first bicycle for a woman. It uses for backcountry shred gravel, fitness or bikepacking.
Haanjenn 1 has come with a flat bar that allows you to ride upright while you can see the surroundings better and be aware of the danger ahead.
The aluminum frame is designed to withstand abuse, by 38 mm wide tires absorb potholes and debris and provide additional traction on sludge or snowy roads.
The Acera gear of 9-speed from Shimano's mountain groupset makes it fast for you to hop on and start riding.
Raleigh Amelia 1 is a not bad candidate for filling the gap between mountains and roads. It doesn't seem to have changed much. It looks like it's just zooming in Revere 1's frame to accommodate a wider tire.
For other components such as shifting gears, handlebars do not seem to change. If you pedaling is not a leisure activity, but an important means of transportation, then the comfort and practicability of Amelia 1 have indeed improved.
Like other models, Amelia 1 won't disappoint you if you're looking for bicycles that you can use on your daily commutes, weekend sports, or even occasional group bikes.
Silhouette 1.7 lovely pink may contain memories of your childhood. But there is a lack of sizes.
Being a woman in a very male-dominated industry may be bashful though. Thanks for plenty of bike manufacturers have responded to the short end of the market and many produce extra small road bikes.
The introduction of female bicycles has brought about a better ride experience what is not only comfortable but also more pleasant and rewarding for women.
For me, the most important lesson is that I should never underestimate myself, and I can always improve. I edited this list to help those who want to start following the same health and exercise.
Riding a road bike is one of great pleasure in life. You don't have to miss it just as you're short. Like most of us, I want to live as long as possible but comes with a good quality of life.
If you're a runner or swimmer or yogi, the road biking can be as a fill and reinforcement. They work well together as a time-effective way of exercising.
Once you understand and complete the screening, a perfect lady bicycle will appear at your door. Congratulations! Start your journey freely to explore the country or the city now.

Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, ultra-Orthodox or Reconstructionist; observant or not; blended families, partners, soul mates—Roosevelt is here to help you express the legacy of your family in the way you feel it should best be expressed.
When Roosevelt Memorial Park was established in 1928, it created a totally new and innovative way to memorialize loved ones. In an era when the typical Jewish cemetery was crowded with narrow, individual headstones, Roosevelt was designed to be a memorial park. Trees were planted along roadways wide enough for cars to pass each other. Benches and water fountains were placed for the convenience of visitors. Roosevelt became the cemetery of choice for the families of successful business people as well as most recently arrived immigrants. Over the years, Roosevelt has become the most prestigious Jewish cemetery in the Delaware Valley. This new concept virtually eliminated graveyard fear and allowed families pride in memorializing their loved ones.
In the early years of the twentieth century, many of Philadelphia's most important businessmen belonged to the Locust Club where they had their legendary afternoon card games. Roosevelt's founders called them together one afternoon and said jokingly to their friends: "Guess what you men are going to do this week? You are going to buy family estates at Roosevelt." All of the large family plots around the "Founder's Circle" are owned by families of that famous card group. Others bought private mausoleums. The cemetery's reputation of catering to the carriage trade was born.
Roosevelt was the first cemetery to bring the concept of flush bronze memorials to the East Coast. It was thought that a simple open field would provide an uncluttered look and comfort for mourners. As the idea of the bronze gardens caught on, the cemetery introduced paved walkways. Bench lots were developed and then small family estates which are a group of burial sites with a bench and shrubbery surrounding the plot. Boris Blai, noted sculptor and founder of the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia created his famous "Yiskor" statue which is a highlight in one of the bronze gardens and another of his sculptures, "Chuppah", graces a central garden in another area.
Roosevelt built the nation's first community mausoleum in a Jewish cemetery. The building was completed in 1960. A recently built addition boasts two stained glass windows designed by noted Philadelphia artist, Sam Maitin. Another interesting historical note is that the first computer system installed in a cemetery was at Roosevelt prior to 1960.
"I was extremely satisfied with the entire experience."
"The burial was pre-paid/planned by my parents. I never wait to be buried. That is why I answered what I did. Thx"
"Arrangements were made by the deceased the nitch was prepaid long ago"

A common question we receive is how to add formatting items to results in either the Results Table or Notifications. Since the result information is only text, regular formatting items like headers or separator bars aren't included because they're more than text. With only text to work with, is it possible to add hidden formatting items to make results easier to read?
Yes, by adding a Hidden Field item after each Heading item or Page Break item, form builders can add text as hidden formatting items to every result. Text, page numbers, piping codes, and more!
The problem starts when viewing results. Either in the Results Table or in a Notification email, the result displays only the items that collect a response. Items that accept a text value or where an answer is selected are input items and are included in the results. Heading items and other formatting items like Images and Page Breaks are not included, because they contain additional code and are the same for every result.
For form owners with long forms, repeated pages, or multiple categories, hidden formatting items are extremely helpful. An example is when using the Repeating Page Rule to repeat the items on a single page a variable number of times. Reading the results—especially if some of the page items are not required—can be tricky.
Another issue when viewing results is that blanks are not included. This is helpful for keeping results focused but can require that the viewer be knowledgeable about how the form is made.
Solve these issues by using Hidden Field items as text-based hidden formatting items.
Without the Hidden Fields, the result shows only the answered items.
With the Hidden Fields, the result shows each page with clearly-defined sections.
Pro tip: Use the build-in pipe code [pipe:repetition_#] in the Default value tab to show the repetition number.
Use the new Results View in the Results Table and when exporting results to hide the Hidden Field items.

Hello electricmonk2k, thanks for your reponse,
There's currently a bug(?) where occasionally, small (and sometimes very small) segments of track are built that have a much lower speed-limit than the surrounding track…..
I have ruled this out by running a single train on the track, it will then go full speed where possible.
Maybe this has something to do with the bug(?) with the small segments – in this case, there could be small slow segments just in front of or behind the tracks of the station.
It happens at every station, providing it is the second-to-last. I have tried this on multiple lines.
. If we knew which line the disappeared vehicle was from…
I agree, the vehicle management system could do with some more information/interaction. I was lucky, I did know which line it was from the one time it happened to me :). But still as this line was on the outer ring of my big city, there were over 50 buses to check. That's a lot of windows to check..

Happy new year to the developers and fellow players!
One more thing I forgot:
The game crashes when a completely destroyed village's name is clicked. Didn't see that comin' did ya 🙂
I assume that with the new map generation features in mind you'll have solved that in the next update but thought it was worth mentioning.

Hi 7even,
Glad you like my posts,
Check my second post for more info on that.
It isn't very efficient, bus travel times are so good that traveling by rail was only interesting for a few citizens.
Hi Enzojz.
There are no other cities, check my first post for more info.
December 27, 2015 at 10:31 in reply to: Very big city #20864
Spoke a bit too soon in the other forum, the game now crashes at a certain point at the end of the month, can't really tell why. Oh well, reached a population of 15.500 (before the major railroad upgrade) so not bad 🙂
Did a major overhaul on the railway system, now 10 tracks circular with the center ones zig-zagging so passengers can swap from one side of the city to the other. Still usage is low, because just using the bus lines is mostly faster. A lot of buildings had to be demolished to achieve this so population is under 15000 again, and I don't think it will recover very fast.

Hi. I am still playing my 'very big city' ( http://www.train-fever.com/forums/topic/very-big-city/ ) and would like to provide some feedback. I know the game isn't really designed to be played like this, but some of the things that happen may be interesting because they do often overlap regular game play. Most of my 'problems' are probably caused by modding the engines, but can probably be solved nevertheless.
-Pedestrians stop moving on zebra crossings. I can think of all kinds of things to solve this, like forced moves after a timeout. Or giving the player the option to give them a push. I am trying to reproduce this so I can provide a screenshot.
By the way almost all train related are easily reproducible on circular railroads, using modded high speed/power trains.
-Very powerful trains accelerate fast and then start to decelerate, I assume to keep their distance from the train in front of them, dropping to very low speeds, only to accelerate fully again, instead of keeping a nominal speed. Adding more signals doesn't really solve this.
-When skipping several stations before arriving at the next destination, at the second-to-last station trains slow down for no apparent reason, accelerate again after passing it and then make a normal arrival at the destination station.
-Signals sometimes remain red, and sometimes turn green after the section behind it is clear. Because of the circular nature of the railroad and the constant flow of trains traveling past the signals I would expect to see a constant pattern, maybe I am overlooking it.
-On circular bus lines (not sure about trains) passengers leave the bus when passing station number 1, only to board the same bus again to carry on, but sometimes missing it and having to wait for the next one.
-Not sure how the cargo distribution system works, but it seems to be a bit of a first come first served system. Because I use all factories within reach of the city, it would be nice if the cargo was evenly distributed. It is hard to tell exactly which cargo goes where, except by following it as it goes, but then when it's on a truck or train you kind of lose it because of interchanging. There is plenty of cargo available but still the expansion of industries stagnates, even when the population keeps growing.
-It would be nice to be able to tell which industries lack cargo delivery.
-When stopping vehicles to clear a road for reconstruction, after removing a road, sometimes the stopped vehicle moves and becomes impossible to select, or even find. The only way to find it again is by sending the entire line to the depot and waiting for the one that remains outside.
-It would be nice to be able to tell which vehicles are 'stopped'.
-Sometimes invisible fragments of rail stay behind after removing rails. They can only be found by trying to narrow down their position by building track over them and look for a collision, and are then still a lot of work to delete because of their invisibility.
-Building a tunnel under a factory can make the cargo spawn inside the tunnel. This would be perfect if underground truck stations were possible, of course
-Stations should really have exits on both sides, for being usable as a circular line.
-Under the charts tab, there is only one chart. Not a big deal, except for the fact that after over >2000 years it becomes fairly useless.
-It would be nice to have some way of finding places where new buildings have appeared, for a certain period.
-Locating people by their number would make it possible to enjoy looking at people who have nice routes. Maybe bookmarking them would be an option.
-Sticky windows would be nice. Especially the 'manage lines' being able to be kept open would be convenient.
– I started the city by making the basic layout and then let the game just run unattended for a couple of days to see what would happen. The city had expanded well, but so had memory usage. Saving the game and then loading it again resulted in about 3-4gb less memory being used.
– I am amazed how stable the game is, running a city with so many circular lines, with hundreds of buses/trucks running at very short intervals. Only when major deadlocks occur does the game ever stop working.
– Game performance drastically reduces when the manage lines windows is open and the lines are being shown as an overlay.
That's all for now,
Kingeek.

Population 12500.
Thanks Isidoro!
With the new strategy the population settled at about 9100. There may be various reasons for this but in the end it was not the ideal solution. I have gone back to the original layout and improved the railway connections for the cargo in the heart of the city, allowing cargo trains to leave/enter the station at higher speeds, thus making the time for cargo to travel shorter.
The end of month delays are now about 1-2 seconds, so hardly noticeable. The population is now 11850.
November 29, 2015 at 13:50 in reply to: Very big city #20614
That went well. I can't edit the post, so I'll post the before picture in this one. Obviously the previous one is the after picture.
Before the mass destruction:
After,
Comparing the pictures I am wondering if the new buildings are in fact bigger or if that was just my imagination. See for yourself anyway 🙂
Update:First off I'd like to correct my 35 seconds, this was an incident the actual number is around 9 seconds.
In another thread I read Tossi's remarks about removing the rails around the city. At the edge of the city I had 4 passenger railway lines, circling around the city with 8 stations. With modded trains this resulted in good travel times to the other side of the city and to the next quarter. I did make tunnels/ bridges to pass the rails at the stations to allow the city to grow outwards and it has.
I created 3 scenarios and while paying close attention to as many details as possible, ran them in the same way. I measured the times 3 months in a row each run. Once as is, once with the passenger trains removed and the lines deleted, and once with all the rails removed. (results are in seconds, 3 months)
As is: 09,11,12
No lines: 08,11,07
No rails: 07,07,05
This makes complete sense, as the more routes there are the longer path finding will take. However no new roads are being built yet , but slowly buildings are starting to appear where the track was.
I am now waiting for the roads to start connecting from both sides of where the rails were.

November 27, 2015 at 11:41 in reply to: 4 Suggestions That Might Enhance Gameplay #20605
I did point 1 myself, by downloading buses/trains from the mods and then editing these. I altered the capacity and made them accelerate faster, and changed the door animation speeds. On lines with a lot of stops, lowering the door opening/closing time can make quite a difference. All the costs can also be altered this way.
November 27, 2015 at 11:35 in reply to: Help me understand the arcane logic of industries #20604
When cargo goes by foot, I assume this is because it is shorter then going by the provided vehicles? The cargo should still arrive at it's destination. The only downside would be that is does not generate any income.

The purpose of the outlined procedures is to confirm the intent of both the contracting organisation and the JET participant regarding reappointment for the 2015-2016 JET Programme year. Please note that reappointment deadlines are different for English-speaking countries/SEAs and countries with a small number of participants.
1.1 JET Programme appointments are for a one-year period. If both you and your contracting organisation are in agreement, your contracting organisation may reappoint you for an additional one-year period (the first reappointment for April Arrivals is approximately four months). The maximum number of reappointments permissible is two (altogether, three years on the Programme; for April Arrivals, the maximum number of reappointments is three, altogether three years and four months on the Programme).
Additionally, if after careful consideration the contracting organisation deems your work performance, level of experience and ability to be of an exceptionally high standard, it may choose to reappoint you an additional two times (altogether, five years on the Programme; five years and four months for April Arrivals).
1.2 In principle, if reappointed, you will remain in the same contracting organisation in the same job-type.
1.3 There are some contracting organisations that may be unable to reappoint their JET participants due to policy changes or budgetary reasons. For this reason, please discuss reappointment with your contracting organisation supervisor as early as possible, regardless of the documentation submission deadlines. If necessary, please also consult with your host prefecture/designated city office.
1.4 Reappointment of SEAs from China requires discussion with the Chinese government. Therefore, even if both the participant and the contracting organisation agree on reappointment, there may be cases where reappointment cannot occur.
You may not withdraw your intent to accept or not accept reappointment. If you do, your contracting organisation may be left without a JET participant for the next year, hindering organisational management. Therefore, if you are considering pursuing further education or seeking other employment, please do not casually accept an offer to be reappointed, and give careful thought before making a final decision.
2.1 If you are given the Contracting Organisation Intent to Reappoint and JET Participant Intent Confirmation Form (Form A-1), please carefully review the terms, conditions and other provisions of your next appointment, and indicate whether or not you choose to accept reappointment by signing the appropriate section and returning it to your contracting organisation by Friday, 15 January, 2015 for English-speaking countries and by Friday, 5 December, 2014 for SEAs and countries with a small number of participants.
2.2 If you are given the Confirmation Regarding Reappointment Form (Form A-2), you unfortunately will not be reappointed. Please review the reasons for not being offered reappointment by your contracting organisation, and sign and date the form by Friday, 15 January, 2015 for English-speaking countries and by Friday, 5 December, 2014 for SEAs and countries with a small number of participants. If you have any questions regarding the reasons indicated on the form, please consult directly with your contracting organisation supervisor.
Job-type changes are only possible when the contracting organisation recognises a need for such a change. Therefore, only if a contracting organisation within your host prefecture/designated city puts out a call for a job-type change can you request to be considered. As SEAs are invited as specialist sports assistants, they are unable to request a job-type change.
Transferring to a different contracting organisation is considered only in exceptional cases. If your current contracting organisation or you find it is necessary to request a transfer to a different contracting organisation, please consult with your contracting organisation supervisor as soon as possible.
There may be cases in which your contracting organisation cannot reappoint you due to reasons attributable to policy changes or budget. In these cases, your contracting organisation may recommend you for a transfer to another contracting organisation if you agree and there are no problems with your work performance. First, a transfer will be attempted for within your current host prefecture. If that is not possible, a transfer will be attempted to a different host prefecture/designated city. In this case, you may indicate up to three host prefectures/designated cities or regional blocks as preferences. Preferences are not guaranteed.
3.1 Transfers to a different contracting organisation within your current host prefecture – If it is necessary for you to request a transfer to a different contracting organisation within your current host prefecture, please make your request to your contracting organisation as soon as possible. Additionally, please submit the Transfer Request Form (Form A-3) to your contracting organisation by Friday, 17 October, 2014 for all JET participants. Note: As the decision to grant a transfer depends on conditions set by the host prefecture and the discretion of the contracting organisation that you are requesting to be transferred to, there is no guarantee your transfer will be granted.
3.2 Transfers to a contracting organisation in a different host prefecture/designated city – If it is necessary for you to request a transfer to a contracting organisation in a different host prefecture/designated city, please make your request to your current contracting organisation as soon as possible. Additionally, please submit the Transfer Request Form (Form A-3), your reasons for requesting a transfer and all necessary documentation to support your request by Friday, 17 October, 2014 for all JET participants.
Note: In order to be granted a transfer to a different host prefecture/designated city, you must meet the criteria listed below and your current contracting organisation must be willing to make a recommendation to another contracting organisation regarding your attitude towards work. Only if you meet the requirements for a transfer will CLAIR confer with the requested host prefecture/designated city and the prefectures/designated cities located nearby your preferences. Transfers will only be possible if the requested contracting organisation agrees to accept you, but there is no guarantee that your transfer will be granted. Even after completion of all the necessary procedures, if previously undisclosed facts arise before the next appointment commences that render you unsuitable or the criteria listed below are not met, the transfer may be revoked. In general, transfers are seldom granted to JET participants going into their fifth year.
Please submit all necessary documentation to support your request.
A. Marriage – When it is necessary for you to be transferred to a different host prefecture/designated city due to marriage (you must first confirm whether your spouse can move to where you currently live or not).
Example 1: Because of your placement, you are unable to live with your spouse.
Example 2: Because of your spouse's employment (excluding part-time or temporary work), you would be unable to live with your spouse.
Example 3: You intend to marry soon (before or during your next appointment) and would be unable to live with your spouse because of your current placement.
B. Nursing Care – When it is necessary for you to be transferred to a different host prefecture/designated city so that you may provide care for a parent or child.
Example 1: You must provide nursing care for your parent and the parent is unable to move to where you currently live.
Example 2: You must provide care for your sick child and would be unable to do so where you currently live.
C. Health – When it is necessary for you to be transferred due to health-related reasons.
Example 1: You are currently suffering from an illness and the only hospital that can provide treatment is within a different host prefecture/designated city.
Example 2: You are suffering from severe allergies and the only solution is to transfer to a different host prefecture/designated city.
(1) Gathering and providing documents to support your transfer request are your responsibility.
(2) The following are examples of reasons that are inadmissible when requesting a transfer to a contracting organisation in a different host prefecture/designated city.
I want to move to XYZ Prefecture because I requested it when I applied.
My abilities are not being utilised in my current workplace.
I want to live in a city with a Japanese language school in order to improve my Japanese.
Any other personal reason not attributable to situations A to C described above.
Transfer requests are only successful if the new contracting organisation agrees to accept you. Therefore, it is possible a transfer request will be unsuccessful, despite meeting the above criteria. In such situations, your choices are either to complete your appointment with your current contracting organisation and finish your tenure on the JET Programme, or to request to be reappointed by your current contracting organisation. If both you and your current contracting organisation are in agreement, they may reappointment you for an additional one-year period. Please discuss these matters with your contracting organisation supervisor in advance before making a request for a transfer.

The Disconnect Between Minority Students and STEM Careers
A recent ACT report, The Condition of STEM 2013, offers new perspectives on the achievement gap between White and Asian students and their African-American, Hispanic, and Native American peers.
The report looks at ACT test results for the 2013 graduating class, in particular at students who said they were interested in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and math) and the relationship between those students' level of interest and their college readiness in math and science. Then using two interest levels – expressed interest and measured interest – it discusses the disconnect between students' interest in studying STEM subjects and the academic success and persistence needed for STEM careers.
Students with an expressed interest said they are considering studying STEM subjects or pursuing STEM careers.
Students with a measured interest said they enjoyed doing the type of work involved in STEM subjects and careers. For example, "I like to fix toys" or "I enjoy problem solving."
This report is important because it found measured interest and achievement in STEM do not necessarily lead to persistence in STEM, or to an increase in talented students who aspire to STEM majors or careers. It also found that an expressed interest in STEM is not necessarily equated with achievement or a measured interest in STEM.
Not surprisingly, The Condition of STEM 2013 found that student achievement across all STEM fields was highest for those students with both expressed and measured interest in STEM:
58 percent of students with an expressed and measured interest in STEM met ACT college readiness benchmarks in math, and 51 percent in science
47 percent of students with only an expressed interest in STEM met ACT college readiness benchmarks in math; 38 percent in science
41 percent of students with only a measured interest in STEM met ACT college readiness benchmarks in math; 37 percent in science
To meet our education, economic, national security, and technological innovation goals, a stronger link must be made between students' interest and students' achievement in STEM. These numbers show that more must be done to capitalize on a wider pool of potentially "hidden" STEM talent.
Expressed and Measured Interest Results
The more striking— and distressing—results, however, are the disparities in math and science benchmark achievement among racially and ethnically diverse students with both expressed and measured interest in STEM. First the overall results: 58 percent of all students with expressed and measured interest met math benchmarks; 51 percent met science benchmarks. Results by race/ethnicity:
79 percent of Asian students with expressed and measured interest met math benchmarks; 64 percent met science benchmarks
64 percent of White students with expressed and measured interest met math benchmarks; 59 percent met science benchmarks
44 percent of Hispanic students with both expressed and measured interest met math benchmarks; 33 percent met science benchmarks
32 percent of Native American students with both measured and expressed interest met math benchmarks; 25 percent met science benchmarks
24 percent of African-American students with both measured and expressed interest met math benchmarks; 18 percent met science benchmarks
These gaps reveal stark inequities in achievement in subject areas deemed essential to emerging careers of the 21st century—those grounded in STEM skills and competencies—and subject areas in which students show interest. A key finding of the ACT report:
"The academic achievement gap that exists in general for ethnically diverse students is even more pronounced among those interested in the STEM fields. With the exception of Asian students, 61 percent of whom were interested in STEM, the number of ethnic minority students (African-American, Hispanic, and Native American) interested in STEM fields is low, as are their achievement levels in math and science. Among African-American students interested in STEM, the vast majority have an expressed interest only. Among measured interest only students, Hispanic students have a greater representation than other minority groups. A real opportunity exists for a meaningful discussion with these students on what STEM careers entail in terms of educational planning and achievement."
Where and how should these critical discussions take place? Start in the classroom. Research shows that engaging students, particularly minority students, in STEM education early in the elementary school years makes a difference in students' achievement and their intent to major in STEM—potentially by strengthening their belief that they can succeed in math. But, the positive impact of early engagement on STEM learning and STEM interest is contingent on quality and effective teaching. Numerous reports show that effective teachers are not equitably distributed among schools, particularly those schools serving high proportions of students from low-income or minority families.
Even if exposed to good STEM instruction, and even as they gain STEM skills and competencies, many students may not be able to see themselves as a part of the STEM community. Having a well-developed science identity includes competence in science, understanding of science, and recognizing oneself as a "science person" (Carlone & Johnson, 2007). This is an interactive process— complicated and challenging for students who do not have access to teachers, mentors, and peers who look like them or who reflect practices and research relevant to their communities and lives. Even those who demonstrate STEM competence and achievement may struggle to see themselves as potential scientists if they cannot link the work of science to their lives, goals, and perceptions of who does science.
What options should we consider? After-school and expanded-learning opportunities for students, particularly for students who have traditionally lacked access to rigorous math and science education, can help them gain the competencies and skills they need to achieve at the high levels.
Many high-quality programs provide STEM homework support, applied practice, and project-based learning activities and apprenticeships. These programs give students a better understanding of the field and promote students' aspirations for STEM studies and careers. Two examples:
Citizen Schools partners with schools and companies (e.g., Google, Cisco, Cognizant) to provide expanded-learning days to middle school students in low-income communities. Employees of its partner companies serve as volunteers, leading after school programs and workshops that connect students with leaders in the field, provide students with relevant learning experiences and give students the skills, access, and beliefs they need to succeed in school, college, and careers. Data show that students who have participated in Citizen Schools have better attendance, better grades, new skills, and transformed aspirations.
The American Museum of Natural History's Science Research Mentoring Program provides under-resourced youth with mentoring and counseling support and research lab experiences alongside expert researchers in the field. This program has been found to positively influence students' career expectations, interest in STEM fields, and understanding of science. Emerging evidence suggests that students' interest in STEM careers and activities continues into college.
Broadening participation in STEM has taken on more meaning in the 21st century and in the midst of what has become a "national learning economy." STEM competencies are critical for success not only in STEM careers, but across an increasing number of career sectors and positions. We will not close the gap in STEM careers, if we also don't close the gap in STEM interest, aspirations, and identity among all students. This work cannot be isolated within the walls of the classroom. Communities, businesses, organizations, and schools must come together to develop pools of diverse student STEM talent and interest, and deal with the inequity in the STEM career pipeline highlighted in ACT's Conditions of STEM 2013 report.
Early Academic Career Pathways in STEM: Do Gender and Family Status Matter?
Women with STEM Ph.D.'s are likelier to start their careers in academia, but their male peers get more of the faculty appointments at research institutions, according to a new analysis that explores the impact gender and family may have on the careers of these new graduates.

If you look at the statistics, the Broncos have a good chance to be the side leading at half-time on Thursday night. How so?
Well, the Bulldogs seem to have a bit of trouble finding the try line early on in the game as their strike rate tends to go up considerably in the second-half.
They've only scored 13 (29.5%) of their 44 tries in the first forty minutes, which usually forces them to fight back later in the game.
It's not only in the first forty minutes where the Bulldogs have had a lack of tries this season.
Currently they rank 16th overall in the NRL for total tries scored, putting them behind the Rabbitohs (14th), Bulldogs (15th) and Wests Tigers (16th).
Their leading try-scorer is currently Kerrod Holland (8) - a player who is only into his 2nd NRL season for the Bulldogs!
Only four teams have won six home games this year and the Brisbane Broncos are one of those sides.
In fact the Broncos have the best home record of any side in the competition (66.6%) – equal with the Sydney Roosters.
So what does this mean for Thursday night?
Well, it means that a win for the Bulldogs may be a very tough ask as they've only won one of their six games on the road – the only team with a lower percentage than the Bulldogs is the Newcastle Knights, a side who has lost all nine of their away games.
These two sides sit in first and second spot for total runs although there is a huge difference when it comes to the average amount of metres they make per game.
The Broncos are pretty solid, averaging 1666.7 metres per game (2nd overall), compared to the Bulldogs who only average 1551.7 metres a game - ranking them 12th overall.
The Bulldogs will certainly need to utilise their enormous forward pack to turn this tide on Thursday.
Breaking through the defensive line hasn't been easy for the Bulldogs this year and this shows in the stats.
Despite having players such as Will Hopoate, Brett Morris, Josh Morris, Sam Kasiano and David Klemmer - they havent been able to get the best of their opponents defensive line too often.
They rank 16th for line breaks and 14th for tackle breaks – the Newcastle Knights are the only other club to rank as low on both these statistics.
With their Origin players back, the Broncos defence should be back to their best so the Bulldogs may have an even harder task breaking through this week.

Daniel Holloway (born May 21, 1987) is an American cyclist, who previously rode for American amateur team Texas Roadhouse Racing. Holloway specialized in criteriums, track racing and six-day racing. During his career, Holloway has won over 20 national titles, a Pan American title in 2018 and a gold medal at the 2019 Pan American Games. On June 2, 2021, Daniel Holloway announced his retirement from professional cycling.

Career

Early life and junior career
Holloway was born on May 21, 1987, in Wichita Falls, Texas, and began as a speed skater. He began cycling as practice for speed skating in the summer. His racing career began on the velodrome due to its similarities with the track. Holloway took to cycling winning his first national championship in July 2004 in the Madison. In 2005 he won his next national title at Junior Track Nationals in the individual and team pursuits. In 2007 he took his first Criterium National title as an amateur.

Amateur and professional career
In 2008, he rode to 4 Elite National titles on the track, winning the team pursuit, madison, points race and the scratch. He joined the  team as a stagiaire, before joining the  team for the 2009 season. Holloway won the kilo and points race titles at the National Track Championships, and he also competed at the 2009 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Poland with teammates Colby Pearce and Taylor Phinney. In 2010 Holloway joined the domestic  team and raced predominately on the road, winning his first United States National Criterium Championships. In 2011, Holloway joined the UCI Continental team  further focusing on road racing with a specialty in criteriums.

Holloway joined  in 2012, where he again won the scratch at the National Track Championships. He moved to  for the 2013 season, before returning the American domestic scene ahead of the 2014 season. Holloway won a record 21 races in 2014 with Athlete Octane, including his second criterium title at the National Amateur Road Championships. Riding for Alto Velo p/b Seasucker in 2015, Holloway extended his record to 26 victories, and a second consecutive criterium title at the National Amateur Road Championships.

Le HMS Dasher (D37) est un porte-avions d'escorte britannique de la classe Avenger durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Comme les autres porte-avions de sa classe, il est issu d'un cargo américain de type C3 transformé fin 1941 et il est transféré à la Royal Navy en juillet 1942. Il coule  le  dans le Firth of Clyde, au sud-ouest de l'Écosse, à la suite d'une explosion accidentelle encore mal expliquée aujourd'hui, tuant 379 des 528 marins à bord.

Conception et description
Les quatre porte-avions d'escorte de la classe Avenger sont à l'origine des cargos de type C3. Leur conception était basée sur la classe de porte-avions américain Long Island. Ils ont été construits par les chantiers Sun Shipbuilding à Chester en Pennsylvanie ; quatre chantiers vont alors convertir les Rio Hudson, Rio Parana, Rio de la Plata et Rio de Janeiro en porte-avions d'escorte,  respectivement ,  HMS Biter (le futur Dixmude français),  et HSS Dasher, à partir d'.

La quille du Rio de Janeiro fut posée le  au chantier naval Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Co., à Chester en Pennsylvanie. Il est lancé le . 7 mois plus tard, le , il est acheté par l'US Navy pour le convertir en porte-avions d'escorte dans le cadre de la loi Lend-Lease. Sa conversion est réalisée par les chantiers . Le , il est transféré dans la Royal Navy et mis en service à Hoboken dans le New Jersey sous le nom de HMS Dasher, quatrième navire de la Royal Navy à porter ce nom.

Le porte-avions avait un effectif de 555 hommes (personnel navigant compris), une longueur hors-tout de , un maître-bau de  et une hauteur de . Il avait un déplacement de  et un port en lourd de  à pleine charge. Le pont d'envol était long de 410 pieds () et il possédait un petit îlot situé à tribord. Il disposait de réservoirs d'une capacité de  gallons US () ( gallons US soit  pour le Charger) qui lui conférait une autonomie de  () (respectivement  ()) à  (). Quatre moteurs diesel Sun-Doxford développant au total  permettaient au porte-avions d'atteindre les  (). Le porte-avions était équipé de trois canons anti-aériens canons QF de 4 pouces à double usage montés à la verticale et quinze canons de 20 mm Oerlikon. Son aéronef se composait de quinze avions, dont des Grumman F4F Wildcat, des avions de chasse Hawker Hurricane et des Fairey Swordfish, notamment pour la lutte anti-sous-marine. Il était également équipé de 3 brins d'arrêt et 1 catapulte H2 hydraulique.

Historique
Le Dasher est opérationnel dans la Royal Navy le . Le même mois, durant les essais, un incendie se déclare. Il est de nouveau envoyé aux chantiers navals.

Le  après ses réparations, il quitte la Clyde au sud-ouest de l'Écosse avec les Swordfish du  en accompagnant le convoi HX 205. Le , il est de nouveau modifié, dans la Clyde, pour sa mise en service opérationnel.

Le , il participe à l'opération Torch, le débarquement allié en Afrique du Nord. Le porte-avions quitte la Clyde pour la Méditerranée avec les Sea Hurricane du  et du , pour prendre part avec l'Eastern Naval Task Force au soutien des débarquements. Le , les Sea Hurricane escortés par des Albacore attaquent l'aérodrome de la Senia en Algérie. D'autres appareils effectuent des Tactical Reconnaissance et des attaques Combat Air Patrol. Le lendemain, des Target Area Combat Air Patrol et des Combat Air Patrol sont effectués. Au total 30 sorties sont réalisées en deux jours d'opérations.

Vers la mi-novembre, le Dasher quitte Gibraltar pour l'Angleterre avec le convoi MKF 1. Le , il arrive à Liverpool pour quelques réparations: une mise en place d'une salle d'opérations de défense aérienne et un agrandissement de son poste de pilotage, allongé de 13 mètres. À la fin des travaux, il est affecté à la Home Fleet.

À son arrivée à Scapa Flow le , le Dasher participe à des entraînements pour de futures opérations d'escorte. Le , il repart en opération avec des Sea Hurricanes du  et des Swordfish du  / , pour prendre part à l'escorte du convoi JW 53 pour le nord de la Russie. Deux jours plus tard, il subit de graves dommages météorologiques au large de l'Islande et part à Dundee en Écosse pour des réparations. Malgré les attaques de 30 avions ennemis, les 22 navires (28 selon une autre source) arrivent à destination en toute sécurité.

Explosion et naufrage

Le  après des réparations, il recommence à naviguer dans les zones de la Clyde. Le , il coule en trois minutes seulement dans le Firth of Clyde au large de l'île de Little Cumbrae, à la position , à la suite d'une explosion interne massive. 379 des 528 hommes à bord disparaissent, ce qui en fait le naufrage le plus meurtrier dans les eaux britanniques. Beaucoup ont réussi à s'échapper du navire mais sont morts d'hypothermie ou de brûlures, notamment causées lorsque le combustible répandu sur l'eau s'est enflammé. La quasi-totalité des marins morts dans le naufrage ont été enterrés à Ardrossan ou à Greenock en Écosse.

Diverses causes possibles ont été suggérées, y compris le crash de l'un de ses avions sur la plate-forme de vol, provoquant un feu accidentel à partir des réservoirs d'essence présents sur le pont. Une grande partie des événements ne sera jamais élucidé.

Les États-Unis ont reproché les mauvaises procédures de manutention de l'essence effectués par la Royal Navy et les Britanniques une mauvaise conception de l'arrimage et de la manutention. Par la suite, les réservoirs de ses navires-jumeaux ont été réduits de  à  gallons à environ  gallons, réduisant leur autonomie.

Le gouvernement britannique de l'époque, soucieux du moral des troupes et anxieux d'accuser les États-Unis de construction défectueuse, a tenté de dissimuler le naufrage. Les médias locaux ont été invités à ne faire aucune référence sur la tragédie et les autorités ont enterré les morts anonymement. Des proches furieux protestèrent et certains dépouilles furent renvoyées à leurs familles. Les autorités ont ordonné aux survivants de ne pas parler de ce qui s'était passé, cette politique essuya beaucoup de critiques. Aujourd'hui, deux mémoriaux rappelant cette tragédie existent à Ardrossan et à Brodick sur l'île d'Aran, deux petites villes écossaises non loin du lieu du naufrage. Le site de l'épave se trouve à une profondeur d'environ 124 mètres, sur la route maritime Caledonian MacBrayne entre Ardrossan et Brodick, le site est contrôlé sous la loi de 1986 sur la protection des affaires militaires ().

Des morceaux de planches de teck du Dasher, creusés par le Teredo navalis un mollusque marin, ont été retrouvés sur la plage d'Ardrossan en 1999. Une partie de ces planches figurent dans l'exposition Flotsam and Jetsam dans le Dôme du Millénaire à Londres et une autre pièce est exposée par le North Ayrshire Heritage Centre à Saltcoats en Écosse.

On a spéculé qu'un cadavre du naufrage était le cadavre utilisé en avril 1943 lors de l'opération Mincemeat (L'Homme qui n'a jamais existé), une opération de tromperie britannique en Méditerranée en 1943 pour cacher aux Allemands le futur débarquement allié en Sicile. L'hypothèse est soutenue par les auteurs John et Noreen Steele dans leur livre The Secrets of HMS Dasher.

En 2000, une plaque commémorative est déposée sur le pont d'envol par une équipe de plongeurs, en mémoire des 379 hommes qui ont péri dans le naufrage.

Une fouille archéologique a été menée en  pour déterminer s'il y avait une fosse commune dans le cimetière d'Ardrossan contenant les corps des hommes du HMS Dasher. Cette recherche n'a rien donné.

Grin, an Evansville branding agency, supported by local sponsors ProRehab and Turoni's Pizzeria, is planning a 300-mile bike ride in late September. The ride will raise awareness about the EVSC Student Response Fund, intended to address the basic unmet needs of students. The aggressive fundraising goal is $50,000. The need is great.
In the last few years, the need for clothing in response to homelessness or immediate foster care moves is increasing. So is the number of families who fail to qualify for the free lunch program but who still struggle to pay for their children's meals at school.
These issues, an annual cycle, are on the rise.
Part of the Student Response Fund's mission is designed specifically to identify those students in immediate need, and direct funds where they can make the most difference in a student's experience in school and at home.
Cyclists from Grin will ride from their Evansville office on September 28th, and arrive at their Chicago office on October 1st.
Grin's goal is to help a greater number of students, and their families, who are in need. They hope to do this by getting ahead of the increasing demand for funds within the EVSC Foundation Student Response Fund.
When a student's most basic needs are met, there is a greater chance they will face the school day with the dignity and confidence that is vital to their well-being.
"A student who faces basic needs issues, through no fault of their own, deserves help from those who are able," says Phil Mowrey, Senior Partner + Brand Builder at Grin.
Contributions can be made online at go.rallyup.com/viciouscycle in the form of a one-time donation, a pledge per mile, or both. Contact Hannah Mowrey at hannah@grin.agency with questions.

Time for state to OK MMA
Regardless of whether you follow who holds the latest Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight title, you might want to pay attention to whether New York state will host mixed martial arts events. The fights could help energize the upstate economy.
You may think such events only would take place at major downstate venues such as Madison Square Garden in New York City, but the UFC head last week said MMA events would be scheduled in upstate cities.
Critics call the sport violent and say its stars have posted misogynistic tweets and videos to the Internet. They say MMA sends the wrong message to children and puts fighters in danger as they engage in a sport that includes boxing, judo, wrestling and kickboxing. But the activity is legal in 48 states and actively regulated in 45.
The sport was banned in New York in 1997 under then-Gov. George E. Pataki.
While holding a UFC event -MMA's biggest brand – might be illegal in this state, it's certainly not illegal to watch it. MMA events are televised, and the big fights are available on pay-per- view services.
By banning MMA in New York, our lawmakers aren't stopping any of the negatives of the sport from taking hold, they're only preventing its benefits from being felt here.
The Assembly has blocked the legislation for seven years, but now it looks like a legalization bill may be headed to Gov. Andrew Cuomo's desk. The Senate approved legalization, 47-14, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver earlier this month suggested the measure eventually would win approval.
Cuomo also had positive comments about MMA.
"We think that an event in upstate New York has the potential to draw people from the downstate area, from New England, bringing people for hotels; they're going to have an economic impact, you know, that would be persuasive," Cuomo said last week.
We urge state assemblymen to approve lifting the ban. They should consider the sport's positive economic effect on the state – especially upstate.
According to The Associated Press, UFC Chairman Lorenzo Fertitta said once the sport is legalized and regulated in New York, his group would hold at least four events a year for the next three years, more than half in cities across upstate New York.
"I have been to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Utica and Albany and would look forward to attending UFC events in all of those cities," Fertitta said.
With that commitment to upstate cities, especially Utica and Albany, which our area sits between, these annual events could help fight the region's economic doldrums.


I've always loved veils. They are very closely linked to the popular image of belly dancing, and most people that have never even seen a dancer before will tell you "oh the seven veils dance!" if you ask them what they know about belly dance. Veils are alluring, mysterious, and incredibly feminine, and can add an extra layer to a performance.
I'd learnt basics of veil usage with my teacher Val in class, and later when I started with the advanced group I also had to learn a full group dance with a single veil. But we never really had any more advanced techniques, and the opportunity to take a workshop was too good a chance to pass. So off I went.
Katie is an engaging instructor, very clear when explaining and fun. She has an interest background too, and this reflects in how and what she teaches. Her workshop took us first into getting re-acquainted with our feet and step (more on that on a different post), and learning to turn properly, including two different ways of turning (toe-heel and paddle turns), and spotting. This first part of the workshop was wonderful, well worth the full price, and has helped me immensely.
And then came the second part, working with the veils themselves. Sadly this didn't go that well, for several reasons.
Firstly, there was just way too many of us. I understand people do need to make a living, but the hall had about 25 people in it, and for using double veil you need at least 5sq.metres around each, which is understandable when you have an adult with extended arms and two pieces of fabric of about 3 metres long each. We were just too many, even when split in two groups, so many that I could barely extend my arm without my veils coming into the path of someone else's, which completely ruins the flow of whatever it is you are trying to do. It also means that since you cannot do what you're supposed to, you cannot pose proper questions as required. This, sadly, ruined my mood halfway through the second part. Having said that, this is not something I would land squarely at Katie's feet.
There were other things that also, sadly, added to the miserable feel during the second part. I had put my hair up in two small chignons to keep it out of the way, but these turned out to be absolutely *fatal* for double veil work, as they blocked the veils flowing every time I try to get in or out of them, and since I had secured them quite tightly, I couldn't take them down easily. And to add insult to injury, my veils turned out to be slightly too long and slightly too deep and entirely the wrong shape, and against my better judgement, I would have been far better with my smaller, cheap semicircle veils from the Turkish Emporium, which I despise because they're too short, but in this case would have been absolutely perfect. Both these issues are 100% my own fault, but combining with the space issue, they made quite a bit of the actual veil work rather difficult to achieve, which resulted in much frustration and less enjoyment.
The instruction from this second part was not that different from what you can find in Petite Jamilla's Double Veil DVD, except that with the workshop, we got a few things explained more thoroughly, like how to hold the veils for this sort of work, or why it's a good idea to have an edging on them. To be perfectly honest, I think the workshop has complemented the DVD at least for me; I don't think I came out of the workshop anywhere near confident enough to do a routine with double veil, but with the instruction I got, I do feel it was a great way of getting started. I would probably still suggest you get the video, for getting a bit more, and to refresh concepts you might have forgotten.
Overall, if I'd had the right veils, hairstyle and enough room, I do feel I would have been able to take more advantage of the workshop, but as it was, even just the first part was well worth it, so much so that when discussing the particulars with my martial-artist husband, he praised the approach Katie used and mentioned that, again, the sort of instruction we got for that was invaluable.
Would I take another workshop on double veil or veil? Yes, but only as long as I am absolutely, positively certain that there will be enough room, and that I own the required props to avoid frustration. And this time, I'd wear my hair down.
Would I take another workshop at Orient Expressions? Yes, and I'm already booked for one.
So in closing: good workshop, too bad about the number of people present.
Watch below an impromptu performance of Katie, showing off the type of moves we learnt through the workshop.

A second victim of the horrific acid attack in a London Fields nightclub has been left blind in one eye, police say.
Arthur Collins was charged yesterday. Picture: Met Police - Credit: Archant
Twenty people were injured when the noxious substance was thrown at Mangle E8 in the early hours of Monday.
And now Scotland Yard has confirmed one of the two men believed to have been the target of the attack has lost sight in one eye.
The 24-year-old had been receiving treatment in a specialist burns unit along with another man, 29. Both have now been discharged.
Yesterday it was revealed a 22-year-old woman had been left blind in her left eye.
Detectives are still hunting for Towie celeb Arthur Collins over the attack, but have arrested two of the three men wanted in connection with it.
Aged 21 and 24, they are being held after police arrested him on suspicion of GBH today in north London.
Det Insp Lee McCullough from Hackney CID said: "This investigation continues to move at great pace and the net is closing in on those we believe to be responsible.
"My team continue to act on a number of leads to bring in those wanted for questioning in relation to this awful incident.
"I am continuing to appeal to Arthur Collins and another man who was seen with him to hand themselves in so that we can talk to them about the incident in the nightclub. I would also urge anyone who knows of his whereabouts to contact police.
"Equally, anyone found harbouring those wanted for questioning by police can expect a knock at the door and could well find themselves under arrest."
Officers have raided three addresses in Hertfordshire this week and other warrants have been executed in Milton Keynes.
A 33-year-old woman was arrested at one of the addresses yesterday on suspicion of firearms offences. She was taken to a north London police station and has since been bailed.
Anyone who sees Collins, of Hertfordshire, should stay away and call 999 immediately, police say.
Another man is also wanted for questioning. CCTV images showing him are being reviewed by investigators.
Police are also investigating the venue's security measures and victims have questioned how the substance got inside.

1 - What is the Le Châtelier principle?
The previous lesson emphasized the dynamic character of equilibrium as expressed by the Law of Mass Action. This law serves as a model explaining how the composition of the equilibrium state is affected by the "active masses" (concentrations) of reactants and products.
In this lesson, we develop the consequences of this law to answer the very practical question of how an existing equilibrium composition is affected by the addition or withdrawal of one of the components.
1 What is the Le Châtelier Principle?
If a reaction is at equilibrium and we alter the conditions so as to create a new equilibrium state, then the composition of the system will tend to change until that new equilibrium state is attained. (We say "tend to change" because if the reaction is kinetically inhibited, the change may be too slow to observe or it may never take place.) In 1884, the French chemical engineer and teacher Henri Le Châtelier (1850-1936) showed that in every such case, the new equilibrium state is one that partially reduces the effect of the change that brought it about.
Le Châtelier principle: If a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change of pressure, temperature, or the number of moles of a component, there will be a tendency for a net reaction in the direction that reduces the effect of this change.
Consider an arbitrary mixture of these three components at equilibrium, and assume that we inject more hydrogen gas into the container. Because the H2 concentration now exceeds its initial equilibrium value, the system is no longer in its equilibrium state, so a net reaction now ensues as the system moves to the new state.
The Le Châtelier principle states that the net reaction will be in a direction that tends to reduce the effect of the added H2. This can occur if some of the H2 is consumed by reacting with I2 to form more HI; in other words, a net reaction occurs in the reverse direction. Chemists usually simply say that "the equilibrium shifts to the left".
Disruption and restoration of equilibrium. At the left, the concentrations of the three components do not change with time because the system is at equilibrium. We then add more hydrogen to the system, disrupting the equilibrium. A net reaction then ensues that moves the system to a new equilibrium state (right) in which the quantity of hydrogen iodide has increased; in the process, some of the I2 and H2 are consumed. Notice that the new equilibrium state contains more hydrogen than did the initial state, but not as much as was added; as the le Châtelier principle predicts, the change we made (addition of H2) has been partially counteracted by the "shift to the right".
The following table contains several examples showing how changing the quantity of a reaction component can shift an established equilibrium.
NaCl(s)+ H2SO4(l) → Na2SO4(s) + HCl(g) reaction is carried out in an open container Because HCl is a gas that can escape from the system, the reaction is forced to the right. This is the basis for the commercial production of hydrochloric acid.
HCN(aq) → H+(aq)+ CN–(aq) the solution is diluted Shift to right; the product [H+][CN—] diminishes more rapidly than does [HCN].
AgCl(s) → Ag+(aq)+ Cl–(aq) some NaCl is added to the solution Shift to left due to increase in Cl– concentration. This is known as the common ion effect on solubility.
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g) a catalyst is added to speed up this reaction No change. Catalysts affect only the rate of a reaction; the have no effect at all on the composition of the equilibrium state.
2 How do changes in temperature affect equilibria?
Suppose this reaction is at equilibrium at some temperature T1 and we raise the temperature to T2. The Le Châtelier principle tells us that a net reaction will occur in the direction that will partially counteract this change. Since the reaction is endothermic, a shift of the equilibrium to the right will take place.
3 How do changes in pressure affect equilibria?
is in equilibrium at some arbitrary temperature and pressure, and that we double the pressure, perhaps by compressing the mixture to a smaller volume. From the Le Châtelier principle we know that the equilibrium state will change to one that tends to counteract the increase in pressure. This can occur if some of the NO2 reacts to form more of the dinitrogen tetroxide, since two moles of gas are being removed from the system for every mole of N2O4 formed, thereby decreasing the total volume of the system. Thus increasing the pressure will shift this equilibrium to the right.
It is important to understand that changing the pressure will have a significant effect only on reactions in which there is a change in the number of moles of gas.
Δng = (nproducts – nreactants) = 1 – 2 = –1.
Δng = 0 and pressure will have no effect.
CaCO3(s) → Ca2+ + CO32–. There is a slight decrease in the volume when this reaction takes place, so an increase in the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right, with the results that calcium carbonate becomes more soluble at higher pressures.
The effect of pressure on a reaction involving substances whose boiling points fall within the range of commonly encountered temperature will be sensitive to the states of these substances at the temperature of interest.
For reactions involving gases, only changes in the partial pressures of those gases directly involved in the reaction are important; the presence of other gases has no effect.
Given the following boiling points: CH4 (methane) = –161°C, H2O = 100°C, CH3OH = 65°, H2 = –253°C, predict the effects of an increase in the total pressure on this equilibrium at 50°, 75° and 120°C.
Solution: Calculate the change in the moles of gas for each process,taking into account the effect of temperature on the states of methanol and of water at the higher temperatures.
4 What is the Haber process and why is it important?
The Le Châtelier principle tells us that in order to maximize the amount of product in the reaction mixture, it should be carried out at high pressure and low temperature. However, the lower the temperature, the slower the reaction (this is true of virtually all chemical reactions.) As long as the choice had to be made between a low yield of ammonia quickly or a high yield over a long period of time, this reaction was infeasible economically.
Nitrogen is available for free, being the major component of air, but the strong triple bond in N2 makes it extremely difficult to incorporate this element into species such as NO3– and NH4+ which serve as the starting points for the wide variety of nitrogen-containing compounds that are essential for modern industry. This conversion is known as nitrogen fixation, and because nitrogen is an essential plant nutrient, modern intensive agriculture is utterly dependent on huge amounts of fixed nitrogen in the form of fertilizer. Until around 1900, the major source of fixed nitrogen was the NaNO3 (Chile saltpeter) found in extensive deposits in South America. Several chemical processes for obtaining nitrogen compounds were developed in the early 1900's, but they proved too inefficient to meet the increasing demand.
Although the direct synthesis of ammonia from its elements had been known for some time, the yield of product was too small to make the process commercially feasible. In 1905, Fritz Haber (1868-1934) began to study this reaction, employing the thinking initiated by Le Châtelier and others, and the newly-developing field of thermodynamics that served as the basis of these principles. From the Le Châtelier law alone, it is apparent that this exothermic reaction is favored by low temperature and high pressure. However, it was not as simple as that: the rate of any reaction increases with the temperature, so working with temperature alone, one has the choice between a high product yield achieved only very slowly, or a very low yield quickly. Further, the equipment and the high-strength alloy steels need to build it did not exist at the time. Haber solved the first problem by developing a catalyst that would greatly speed up the reaction at lower temperatures.
The second problem, and the development of an efficient way of producing hydrogen, would delay the practical implementation of the process until 1913, when the first plant based on the Haber-Bosch process (as it is more properly known, Carl Bosch being the person who solved the major engineering problems) came into operation. The timing could not have been better for Germany, since this country was about to enter the First World War, and the Allies had established a navel blockade of South America, cutting off the supply of nitrate for the the German munitions industry.
Much has been written about some of the more controversial and tragic aspects of Haber's life. Shown here are the major figures in the cast in the 2005 Vancouver production of Vern Thiessen's play Einstein's Gift which centers on the conflict and tragedy in Fritz Haber's life. His first wife, Clara, was his former student and a chemist; Haber's decision to help Germany develop chlorine as a war gas led to her suicide.
See also Thomas Hager's 2008 book The alchemy of air; a Jewish genius, a doomed tycoon, and the scientific discovery that fed the world but fueled the rise of Hitler.
Many of the chemical reactions that occur in living organisms are regulated through the Le Châtelier principle.
Much more detail about the mechanism by which hemoglobin transfers oxygen from the lungs to tissues, and then carries carbon dioxide and hydrogen ions back to the lungs, can be found on this Wikipedia page.
which is forced to the right by the high local CO2 concentration within the tissues. Once the hydrogen carbonate ("bicarbonate") ions reach the lung tissues where the CO2 partial pressure is much smaller, the reaction reverses and the CO2 is expelled.
Make sure you thoroughly understand the following essential ideas which have been presented above. It is especially imortant that you know the precise meanings of all the highlighted terms in the context of this topic.
A system in its equilibrium state will remain in that state indefinitely as long as it is undisturbed. If the equilibrium is destroyed by subjecting the system to a change of pressure, temperature, or the number of moles of a substance, then a net reaction will tend to take place that moves the system to a new equilibrium state. Le Châtelier's principle says that this net reaction will occur in a direction that partially offsets the change.
The Le Châtelier Principle has practical effect only for reactions in which signficant quantities of both reactants and products are present at equilibrium— that is, for reactions that are thermodynamically reversible.
Addition of more product substances to an equilibrium mixture will shift the equilibrium to the left; addition of more reactant substances will shift it to the right. These effects are easily explained in terms of competing forward- and reverse reactions— that is, by the law of mass action.
The classic example of the practical use of the Le Châtelier principle is the Haber-Bosch process for the synthesis of ammonia, in which a balance between low temperature and high pressure must be found.
See here for another treatment of the Le Châtelier principle.
