Looking at the moon through a telescope is one of the simplest and most rewarding activities that an amateur astronomer can undertake.
Immediately below here, the table summarises the best moon books for astronomers and you can find more detail on each below the table.
This is a'coffee table' book, well regarded for its amazing pictures, rather than its astronomic focus.
If you have a question about the moon, then this is the book for you. There isn't a question you can think of that these 140 pages don't answer.
This book contains 144 maps of the entire lunar surface from the Clementine mission. The 2012 update also added full shaded relief maps from LROC.
This weighty book (over 700 pages) has every detail you could imagine about the missions based on interviews with 23 of the 24 astronauts who flew them.
Not strictly a book about the moon, but it does have 15 detailed pages about it, making it a great 'phases of the moon book'.
Michael Carlowicz has pulled together a large and beautifully photographed book of the moon, and called it - appropriately enough - The Moon.
The folks on Good Reads rate it well, but mainly for its 'gorgeous photographs' than its comprehensive coverage of our only satellite.
The Moon comes highly recommended if you have a romantic view of the moon and will be content with getting lost in the stunningly detailed imagery whilst enjoying a cup of coffee.
At just 140 pages, Kim Long's 'The Moon Book' may be concise, but it answers pretty much any question about the moon which you can think of.
'How big is the moon compared the United States' and 'how fast does the moon's shadow move across Earth during an eclipse' are in there.
Subjects include lagrange points and the Apollo missions, as well as occultations and librations.
The Moon Book has only positive reviews, saying what a joy it is to read and that this fun little book will be a benefit in your collection.
Ben Bussey and Paul Spudis' Clementine Atlas of the Moon is aimed at the detailed lunar observer.
There are 144 detailed lunar maps in here, covering the whole moon surface. Based on pictures from NASA's Clementine mission of 1994, they were fully updated in 2012 with data from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission.
What we're treated to in this book are some of the most detailed images of the moon's surface (near and far sides), as well as colour plates showing its material make up.
Whilst the first section of the book contains some good, detailed information on the science and history of the moon, this is not its main purpose.
You buy this book - as one reviewer notes - for the comprehensive atlas of the moon's surface, which will be fascinating to the amateur astronomer and indispensable for the professional researcher.
I couldn't bring myself to review the books with moon in the title and not include one that covered our exploits to land on it back in the 70s.
This huge 720 page book is written as a story from the perspective of the astronauts themselves (23 of the 24 Apollo spacemen were interviewed when writing this book - as were many pivotal 'back room' staff) which packs a real emotional punch.
Thankfully, there are enough technical insights to keep those of us who want the finer detail satisfied, and it's done so in a way which highlights the dangers and 'amateurish' understanding of space travel back then - which all makes for a suspenseful read.
Our final book, Turn Left at Orion, on our list of best moon books for astronomers is not just about the moon (and it's not one of the books with moon in the title).
I should come clean and admit that this is my personal favourite astronomy book, with a wealth of detail about what you'll see across the night sky based on the size of your scope - including drawings.
Why has it made it to this list then, you may ask.
Simply, it has 18 big, detailed pages on observing the moon. They start with an overview, with things like lunar geography and phases.
Next is the part that makes this the best phases of the moon book: detail of what is best to view on the lunar surface at each stage of the lunar phase, e.g. nights 2&3 of the crescent moon and 11&12 of the 'almost full' moon.
There you have it: five of the best moon books for amateur astronomers.
You've been given a selection of facts about the moon (The Moon Book), detailed maps (The Clementine Atlas of the Moon), stunning imagery (The Moon), its exploration (A Man on the Moon) and general observing guidance (Turn Left at Orion).

Since October, Becca and I have been working out a couple of times a week at Gold's Gym. We have discovered that we really love Pilates (and our teacher Angie) and that cardiocinema can also be fun when the right movie is playing (not Austin Powers). Tonight, we decided to venture out of our comfort zone and attend an hour long Zumba class.
We were not prepared. It was basically every dance move Jennifer Lopez does in Selena combined with every Shakira music video. We barely survived. All the pregnant ladies (including the instructor who was 8 months along) put us to shame. I felt like I couldn't breathe for about an hour afterwards.
So yeah. Lesson learned: Zumba is for those who like to move and shake and don't need inhalers on a regular basis.

Please find below some thoughts from Romulus Campan, an adult with autism and a delegate at our recent conference. I had the pleasure of talking to Rom at the conference. I cannot remember the last time I met someone so open-minded, eager to take in new information in order to learn and not simply, as is so often the case for many, to strengthen already held views. It was an absolute honour to exchange ideas with him. Only with this kind of robust willingness to learn, to change, to question, to reflect in a genuine way on the research and lived experience, can our society provide the interventions, treatments, environments and understanding that will allow for the quality of life all people with autism deserve. Anita, Chair of Thinking Autism
"It would be literally impossible to express within the limited scope of an article, the intellectual and emotional richness I experienced by participating in this conference"
A thankful participant's notes on Thinking Autism's 2019 International Conference on Autism and Comorbidities, London
When Thinking Autism kindly sent me an invitation to participate as a guest at their 2019 International Conference on Autism and Comorbidities, it felt like the unexpected answer to a faithless prayer, because at that time I was becoming increasingly aware of the significance of comorbidities in autism, from both studied research and a painfully-lived experience.
I was already starting to suspect that the co-existence of autism with often severe comorbidities such as epilepsy was actually a much more than random incidence of a diverse cluster of conditions, present at different levels of symptomatology, but present nevertheless with autism.
This new understanding of autism could lead to a movement away from the unfortunate behavioural model, towards a paradigm based on physiopathology, which could offer hope of treatments to millions affected worldwide by this condition.
I will not enter into the disastrous effects of autism's apparent, earlier abandonment to behavioural sciences, resulting in the overanalytical pursuit of understanding autism from psychopathology's rather restricted perspective, which seems to have failed to recognise the obvious interconnectedness of autism and other conditions, leaving them "at the gates" as only comorbidities. However, this failure has resulted in the questioning of the entire autism narrative by the whole community, from both the higher-dependency (low-functioning) end of the spectrum through parents and carers, but also from the lower-dependency (high-functioning) end, by autistics themselves. Now, whenever the social fabric receives ripples of newer life-embroideries, sociology makes its way to analyse the ripples in the individual and mass effects to the greater societal garment. But I shall return to this later.
As mentioned earlier, the honour of having been invited to such a prestigious event, albeit sadly ignored by the mainstream media, was somewhat counterbalanced by the dread of a public transportation and hotel accommodation nightmare to and in London. However, when I read the programme, my anxiety started to fade away, gradually giving way to a tremendous excitement.
Once we understand—and accept—that autism is much more than functionality labels, meltdowns and shutdowns, a gate opens to believe that for a diagnosis still thought of as immutable and lifelong, there is hope for treatments, maybe one day a cure.
I realised how timely the "early bird…" proverb became when due to my neuro-physical disabilities I arrived ahead of time to "catch" myself a suitable seating place, in a lecture hall which quickly filled to capacity, including parents and carers, autistic individuals, and both. On reading the conference programme, I initially felt some uneasiness about the contrast between the clearly complex scientific topics, the top-flight academic credentials and represented international medical institutions and organisations, and the lack of the usual predominance of behavioural scientists.
At the time, comorbidities with regard to autism were for me, mainly psychiatric conditions. But how glad I am to have learned about a whole new world of scientific efforts where for example "recent research has demonstrated that autism spectrum disorder is associated with several metabolic disorders, including disorders of redox, methylation, folate, purine, tetrahydrobiopterin, carnitine, amino acid and mitochondrial metabolism. The association with metabolic disorders is important as such disorders may be amenable to treatment if the disruption in the metabolic pathway is detected and understood. Although it is important to better understand the appropriate treatments that could theoretically improve function of these pathways, empirical evidence for such treatments is much more helpful in guiding clinical therapy. Studies have documented improvement in autism symptoms with many of these treatments in clinical studies which range from case reports to well-controlled randomized trials." (Richard Frye MD PhD, Director of Autism Research at Arkansas Children's Hospital, USA)
The rich list of the conference's brilliant speakers further revealed that autism, far from being a purely behavioural disorder, may in fact have origins in the complex world of our DNA heritage, on molecular, cellular systemic levels.
Now, once we understand—and accept—that autism is much more than functionality labels, meltdowns and shutdowns, a gate opens to believe that for a diagnosis still thought of as immutable and lifelong, there is hope for treatments, maybe one day a cure.
Speaking of treatments, Dr Adi Aran, MD, Director of Paediatric Neurology at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel, specialised in the diagnosis and treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related genetic disorders, focused his research on the endocannabinoid system involvement in ASD and related disorders and the evaluation of new therapies for the treatment of these disorders, being a pioneer in the research of medical cannabis in autism, a subject that is currently receiving public attention worldwide.
Dr Annabelle Manalo, PhD, a developmental biologist from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, USA, has revealed through her 'Real life experience of medical cannabis treatment in autism' presentation, that her newborn son suffered from a stroke and uncontrollable seizures, and how their journey towards recovery filled Annabelle with a passion and commitment to the cannabis industry, including an interest in specific cannabinoid therapeutic benefits to disease.
Dr Federico Balzola MD, Division of Gastroenterology, University of Turin, Italy, "is driving several clinical researches in Italy on the identification and treatment of the autistic enteropathy with dietetic and pharmacological approaches." In his presentation 'Autism and gastrointestinal symptoms' Dr Balzola emphasised that "The major prevalence of gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with autism compared to healthy controls has been extensively proved, with a potential secondary impact on children's behaviours."
Dr Agnieszka Wroczyńska MD PhD, Medical University of Gdansk, Poland, presented 'Evidence-based Medical Diagnostics in Autism: developing a clinical practice algorithm'. Her presentation focused "on identifying those underlying or comorbid medical conditions in autism, such as inborn errors of metabolism, epilepsy and subclinical epileptiform discharges; mitochondrial dysfunction, gastrointestinal disorders with high prevalence in autism such as celiac disease, reflux disorders and eosinophilic esophagitis; immune and allergic disorders, including mast cell activation disorders, autoimmune encephalitis, PANDAS/PANS and others."
Dr Ben Marlow MD, Consultant Paediatrician MBiochem, specialised in Neurodisability, presented 'Addressing autism comorbidities in the UK – experiences from inside the NHS'. From the dual perspective of a parent of a child with autism and a medical professional, Dr Marlow focused on "the obstacles and challenges in place within the NHS and the education system."
It would be literally impossible to express within the limited scope of an article, the intellectual and emotional richness I experienced by participating in this conference, and therefore to write an account doing justice to all speakers and their absorbing presentations. I have done my humble best to show our readers that Autism has finally knocked at a door which could lead to a path of integrative research, attempting to unravel its complexity from causes to effects.
Looking around myself over the span of three fantastic days, I believe to have seen the real, although elusive face of Autism; from the dedicated, tired parent, going home with a notebook full of new hopes for our unique children; the autistic adults unsure if being unwilling to socialise with other participants is "cool" or not; guest speakers sitting as in their student days, listening to each other's presentations seated amongst the participants for whose benefit they have travelled maybe thousands of miles; the team of organisers, parents themselves, arriving before and leaving after anyone else, heroically trying and succeeding to juggle practical and logistical considerations; while myself experiencing on a personal level the challenges of a late diagnosis within the confusing complexity of multiple comorbidities.
If anyone genuinely wishes to challenge Thinking Autism's brilliant vision, I am more than happy to stand up to the challenge. Why? Because their vision has become my vision.
It was probably Dr Agnieszka Wroczyńska who expressed the greatest challenge autism research is facing: "The existing clinical guidelines for autism focus on behavioural interventions, and current interdisciplinary approach recommendations with regard to autism and comorbidities do not sufficiently address the medical needs of many persons with autism." One only needs to venture on any social media platform attempting to discuss severe autism from a medical perspective, or the existential dichotomy faced by parents or carers of loved ones with severe autism, to face a backlash reminiscent of the medieval dark ages, an ignorance unashamed to call such brilliant research "quackery".
As I ended my introduction with the societal ripples caused by new increments to the knowledge base of autism, I will conclude by observing that problems begin when sociology, instead of asking the right questions or proposing new, starts cutting and tearing into the complex infrastructure of the greater societal garment, creating and re-creating patterns, knowing basically nothing about the already existing patterns, or how the new structures would interact with unpredictable motions of the wider environment. Such was the case around 1990 when a sociologist attempted to recycle the concept of environmental biodiversity into the terra incognita of human neuro-physiology, ushering in "neurodiversity", the questionable belief that autism, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, Tourette's etc, are "normal" evolutionary variations of the human brain, and that any associated difficulties are only caused by a rigid, unadapting society, easily solved by the "social model" of disability.
Finally, because I do not want to derail myself into discussing the "neurodiversity movement" which is increasingly becoming a dangerous plague to the autism narrative, allow me to return to what I believe to have been a genuine revelation of hope, the Thinking Autism's 2019 International Conference on Autism and Comorbidities.
I must confess, when I was invited to participate, I had little to no knowledge about Thinking Autism. My scarce knowledge of some individuals associated with it was tainted by still fresh memories of failed social media attempts to win them "over" to the "neurodiversity" side, feeling sorry for some of them for failing to understand the one true representation of autism. Oh, and if I have forgotten to disclose my not exactly clean little secret, yes, less than a year ago I was one of those condescendingly trying to convince the likes of Thomas Clements, a prominent critic of the neurodiversity movement, of how wrong he was. You may have guessed by now that I didn't succeed. But if you think that it was Thomas' arguments alone which ultimately converted me, you're wrong. The fact that he spoke with the experience of someone like me, diagnosed with Asperger's, also lovingly caring for his severely autistic brother, sent me to do my homework, to find out the real-life stories behind the scientific arguments.
If I were to summarise an abstract of this article, I couldn't do it better than by quoting the Vision of Thinking Autism:
"We envision a world in which disabling symptoms of autism are fully preventable and treatable on an individual basis."
If anyone genuinely wishes to challenge Thinking Autism's brilliant vision, I am more than happy to stand up to the challenge. Why?
Because their vision has become my vision.
The rich list of the conference's brilliant speakers further revealed that autism, far from being a purely behavioural disorder, may in fact have origins in the complex world of our DNA heritage, on molecular, cellular systemic levels

Autism acceptance – false dichotomies and the damage done
When discussing autism—especially on the internet and in the media—there are way too many people who recklessly engage in false dichotomy. It's a kind of extremism that gets us nowhere…I can say with 100% certainty that while I seek treatments for my child with autism, my acceptance of him is unconditional.

Thank you for your incredibly moving post. I am a parent of a child with moderate autism and the Thinking Autism conference has literally changed our lives. My son has one of the genetic mutations discussed and we immediately introduced the recommended supplements with some very positive initial results. Words can't express how grateful I am to Thinking Autism for opening my eyes – my only wish is that we weren't at the very beginning of this age of autism discovery but closer to the end so that all of the beautiful children and adults affected by autism were able to receive the treatment and care that they so deserve.

Rom's comments resonate strongly with me. After 16 years of autism research following the diagnosis of my grandson I'm convinced that we need a paradigm shift in the way we respond to and treat autism. Co-morbidities and metabolic errors shown by various tests need to be investigated by physicians and not ignored because the individual is labelled autistic!
Jan Groh	on 29th June 2019 at 3:06 am
I'm a relative newcomer to the field (2012), by way of the (newly recognized in 2017) Hypermobility Spectrum Disorders and (hypermobile in my case) Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. After turning into a reluctant but effective support group leader from my wheelchair where I suddenly landed in January 2012, I kept finding everyone I met in these circles to be either on, or related (or married) to someone on the spectrum.
Then, I fell down the MCAD rabbithole (another major comorbdity that a leading researcher has firmly tied to autism – see Dr. Theoharis Theoharides in 2015), and the trend only continued. And I kept picking up yet more comorbidities. (Dysautonomia, weak immune system, CVID, autoimmune diseases, more.)
I humbly submit my observations here: http://ohtwist.com/the-chronic-constellation
And will say that I'm now followed by several hundred autists on Twitter and Facebook and my work has been used and presented in South Africa. I've yet to meet a hypermobile person who doesn't have mild or more signs of neurodivergence (in my unprofessional and very unscientific opinion), or vice-versa. I haven't met any autistic people or neurodivergent ones (cousins) without signs of mild or more hypermobility, or connective tissue disorder at a minimum. Most may just be swept under the rug and unrecognized yet.
And yes, many do much better once these very real medical comorbidities are addressed.

FCS mfg. is a steel fabrication business family owned and operated since the mid 1980's. Located just off Hwy 58 in Greenwood County, the operation began when founder and President Jay Luthi built his first Overhead Cake Bin in his father's farm shop. From there the business has continued to grow, building upon the desire "To meet the customer's needs" and "Bringing their Dream to a Reality".
Originally named Machine Service, Inc., it was founded with several objectives that were wished to achieve and maintain.
One, is to provide quality manufactured steel which will provide years of service to you our customer and secondly, to follow up on how that product is performing for you. At Machine Service we recognize that our product is a reflection of our workmanship, and we regard our customers as our greatest asset. Service to us means, satisfying you our customer in whatever roll it may require. We want to take pride in our workmanship and be responsible in whatever services we provide for you.
The venture into Overhead storage business began with a request and has continued to grow. We fabricate a line of Overhead Bins with capacities ranging from 14-60 + tons or 550-2200 bushels. The bins were designed for any dry, flowable material such as seed or feed; but also accommodate heavier weight materials such as fertilizer, mineral, sand, or cement.
Within the past 15 years, FCS has began building larger structures to meet the needs of the agriculture industry and an ever growing population to feed. We have built Storage bins that hold over 5,00 bushels of material for Semi Loadout bins! We have also built bins with 6 separate compartments for multiple commodities! With the years of experience and expertise that FCS has, designing and building a custom storage bin is well within its capabilities. Their in-house engineering allow FCS to efficiently come up with design solutions for just about any storage issue.
As the Agriculture industry continues to grow and evolve with different needs, new solutions and ideas are needed to solve current issues. In the past year, FCS mfg. brought out a new line of Round, Smoothwall hopper bottom bins to help handle the growing demand for more efficient storage. This line of products is an all welded design that cleans out easily, with no bolts or ribbing that might damage seed or leak.They are built in capacities of 500-5500 bushels. The same passion and energy that has made FCS a household name in the custom storage bin industry, is being put into this new line of products with the hopes of serving many more customers!
We thank you for taking a few minutes to look over our website and appreciate the opportunity to serve you!

An individual patient data meta-analysis of the long-term outcome of randomised studies comparing intravesical mitomycin C versus bacillus Calmette-Guérin for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer.
Per-Uno Malmström, Richard J Sylvester, David E Crawford, Martin Friedrich, Susanne Krege, Erkki Rintala, Eduardo Solsona, Savino M Di Stasi, J Alfred Witjes
European Urology 2009 August
BACKGROUND: Patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer with an intermediate or high risk need adjuvant intravesical therapy after surgery. Based largely on meta-analyses of previously published results, guidelines recommend using either bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) or mitomycin C (MMC) in these patients. Individual patient data (IPD) meta-analyses, however, are the gold standard.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the efficacy of BCG and MMC based on an IPD meta-analysis of randomised trials.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Trials were searched through Medline and review articles. The relevant trial investigators were contacted to provide IPD.
MEASUREMENTS: The drugs were compared with respect to time to recurrence, progression, and overall and cancer-specific death.
RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS: Nine trials that included 2820 patients were identified, and IPD were obtained from all of them. Patient characteristics were 71% primary, 54% Ta, 43% T1, 25% G1, 58% G2, and 16% G3, and 7% had prior intravesical chemotherapy. Based on a median follow-up of 4.4 yr, 43% recurred. Overall, there was no difference in the time to first recurrence (p=0.09) between BCG and MMC. In the trials with BCG maintenance, a 32% reduction in risk of recurrence on BCG compared to MMC was found (p<0.0001), while there was a 28% risk increase (p=0.006) for BCG in the trials without maintenance. BCG with maintenance was more effective than MMC in both patients previously treated and those not previously treated with chemotherapy. In the subset of 1880 patients for whom data on progression, survival, and cause of death were available, 12% progressed and 24% died, and, of those, 30% of the deaths were due to bladder cancer. No statistically significant differences were found for these long-term end points.
CONCLUSIONS: For prophylaxis of recurrence, maintenance BCG is required to demonstrate superiority to MMC. Prior intravesical chemotherapy was not a confounder. There were no statistically significant differences regarding progression, overall survival, and cancer-specific survival between the two treatments.

Border Collie from County Louth in Ireland wins place in Crufts Best In Show final
8th March 2018 12th March 2018 Laura Patricia	1 Comment	Crufts, Crufts 2018, KC Press Release, Pastoral
Roo, a Border Collie from County Louth in Ireland won the Pastoral Group title at Crufts 2018 today (Thursday 8th March), qualifying her for a place in the Best in Show final on Sunday.
Roo (whose official Kennel Club name is Nahrof Blurred Lines at Huntly), aged three and a half, will return to the Genting Arena at the NEC in Birmingham for a place at the final at the world's greatest dog show, Crufts, with her owner, David Connolly.
Almost 21,000 dogs will compete over the four days for one of just seven places in the Crufts final and a chance to win the most celebrated title in the world of dogs.
Proud owner David Connolly, said: "This is incredible. I am absolutely lost for words – I never expected this in a million years. Roo came from Australia as a puppy and she was 'Top Dog All Breeds' in Ireland last year. No words can describe my day here today at Crufts but this is the pinnacle of my dog showing career. I am now going to spend the next two days sleeping ahead of Sunday."
Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: "We are delighted to see Roo chosen as the Group winner today. David and his wife Morag should be very proud of reaching the prestigious Best in Show final – it's an incredible achievement and one that not many get to experience in their lifetime.
"Crufts celebrates healthy, happy dogs and recognises the special and unique bond between dogs and their owners. Roo is such a lovely dog who clearly has a great relationship with David, and she seems very at home in the show ring.
"It's only day one of four and the final is looking very exciting. We want to wish Roo and David the best of luck in the ring – we are sure that all of County Louth will be rooting for them."
Reserve in the group went to the Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Ch Pemcader Thunderball. 3rd was the Smooth Collie and 4th was the Polish Lowland Sheepdog.

This is the definitive biography on one of the most important and controversial figures of the 20th century. Drawing on interviews with Gorbachev himself, transcripts and documents from the Russian archives, and interviews with Kremlin aides and adversaries, as well as foreign leaders, Taubman's intensely personal portrait extends to Gorbachev's remarkable marriage to a woman he deeply loved, and to the family that they raised together. Nuanced and poignant, yet unsparing and honest, this sweeping account has all the amplitude of a great Russian novel.90 illustrations
When Mikhail Gorbachev became its leader in March 1985, the USSR was still one of the world's two superpowers. By the end of his tenure six years later, the Communist system was dismantled, the cold war was over and, on 25th December 1991, the Soviet Union itself ceased to exist. While not solely responsible for this remarkable upheaval, he set decisive changes in motion. Assessments of Gorbachev could not be more polarised. In the West, he is regarded as a hero. In Russia, he is widely hated by those who blame him for the collapse of the USSR. Admirers marvel at this vision and courage. Detractors, including many of his Kremlin comrades, have accused him of everything from naivete to treason.

Stacked against the top Junior Elite gymnasts in the country, Whistler's Rikka Tindle finished ninth overall at the 2002 Canadian Artistic Gymnastics Championships last weekend in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The 13-year-old, who recently moved to the city to be closer to her coaches and the facilities at the Flicka Gymnastics Club, was 11 th on vault, 12 th on the uneven bars, ninth on the balance beam and sixth on the floor exercise to finish ninth all around. In the event finals on the following day, Tindle was fourth on the floor exercise.
"I think it went really well," said Tindle, who only qualified to compete at the Junior High Performance level last winter.
"I was training hard and hoping I would do well at that level, and I did. It's pretty competitive."
The next step in her progression is to qualify for the Senior Elite Team – basically the training group for the national team – next season, after which point she will begin to compete internationally. The Olympics are the ultimate goal.
"That's pretty big to make it there. You have to do well at nationals, then make the senior team, and then do well at the nationals as a senior if you want to make it," she said.
Her main priority is to make the senior team next year, which she feels is a reachable goal if she puts in "a few more hours and have more intense training." The Canada Games are also next year, where she hopes to represent B.C.
She already trains 25 hours a week, although she has only moved up to that level recently. Previously she commuted from Whistler to the Flicka gym four days a week after school.
"This was a major step for her," said Mary Lou Tindle, Rikka's mother. "She has gone up three levels in three years with a lot less training time than the other kids have had."
In the past, Tindle has benefited from competing with other girls, but now she is at the elite level, "there's really only a handful of girls, and there's not as many competitions," said Mary Lou. "She is training, but now she has to progress a lot on her own."
In Canada, she is only allowed one year as a junior to move up to the senior high performance level, although once she is there Rikka can compete internationally as a junior until she is 16.
According to Mary Lou, Tindle has upped the level of difficulty of her moves and is now completing two and a half twists on floor exercises, as well as double pikes and jute beam manoeuvres. She has learned 'E' level expert moves as well, which are the second highest in difficulty in scoring.
Gael Mackie, who practices with the Omega club in Vancouver was first all around in the Canadian championships, and Laura-Ann Chong, also from Omega, was seventh, giving B.C. three gymnasts in the top 10.
Tindle will be in Whistler this week with her first club, the Whistler Gymnastics Club, to put on a display during their year-end show. The show is at Whistler Secondary from 1 to 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.

Q: Does the DELL U2713H support 2560 x 1440 over HDMI @ 60fps I currently have a DELL U2713HM monitor with a Max resolution of 2560 x 1440.  What DELL doesn't mention on their website is this resolution is only supported via DVI-DL and DisplayPort.
The max HDMI resolution for the U2713HM is 1920 x 1080 @ 60fps.  You can force the monitor to accept HDMI at 2560 x 1440 @ 30fps but it looks rubbish (at least from my graphics card).
Due to in wall cabling I may need to hook up my computer to a monitor via HDMI, does anyone know if the DELL U2713H can display 2560 x 1440 @ 60fps via HDMI without any hacks?
Note: The cables I have are HDMI 1.4 so they support this resolution.  There are also other monitors out there that support 2560 x 1440 natively by HDMI (http://www.asus.com/au/Monitors_Projectors/PB278Q/#specifications)

A: There is somewhere in Dell's specification that it has HDMI limited to FullHD even when HDMI 1.4 supports higher resolutions. I don't think you will be able to change that. I had also this monitor and I had to buy (10 euros) DisplayPort cable (since DVI is used by my second smaller monitor).
BTW: DisplayPort cables use to be very thin so it may not be so big problem to replace existing HDMI in wall.
