A Year Ago Today
Collegiate Mountain Biking
National champs: Fort Lewis College (center) has had the top mountain bike team in the country for most of the last 24 years. Colorado Mesa (on the left) and Marian University (on the right) ranked second and third in 2017.
According to a recent article in the Washington Post, there are more than 5300 colleges and universities in the U.S., ranging from beauty schools to Harvard University.
That might seem like an overwhelming number of choices for a high school student to consider, but it's not hard to start narrowing down the list. Often the first criteria is finding a school that is affordable. A student can save a considerable amount by attending a college near home. For many students, financial aid can make expensive schools more accessible. The most selective schools in the country, like those in the Ivy League, typically have the most financial aid available to students.

If those top schools are not in the picture for you, however, there's much to be said for finding a good college where you can enjoy mountain biking while you're there. Our favorite two-wheeled sport is a great way to take a break from one's studies, enjoy some much-needed exercise, and get some fresh air.
While there are thousands of colleges in the United States, there are probably only a few dozen that have become renowned as great schools for mountain bikers. Those are the schools we'll be looking at here. For high school students who may be aspiring to become professional mountain bikers or looking to pursue a career in
the bike industry, we've put together our list of what could be the most mountain bike-friendly schools in America.
We interviewed people at the top levels of both the high school and collegiate arenas to get their recommendations. We also looked over the last five years of intercollegiate rankings to see which schools consistently did the best. Without further ado, here are the schools that look to us to be the best colleges for mountain bikers in America.
COLORADO MESA UNIVERSITY, GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO
Located in one of the best regions of Colorado for year-round mountain biking, Colorado Mesa is a school that has been steadily moving up in the intercollegiate rankings. With roughly 10,000 students, the school has now developed one of the best mountain bike teams in the country. Originally known as Mesa State College when founded in 1925, the school attained university status in 2011. Since then, the school has become a standout in intercollegiate cycling and continues to grow stronger. In 2017, the team finished second in the Varsity Division I mountain bike standings, the strongest collegiate category, where the schools pay for many of the race team's expenses and provide scholarships to some of the top riders.
BREVARD COLLEGE, BREVARD, NORTH CAROLINA
Although Brevard College is one of the smallest schools on our list with just over 700 students, it has long been one of the top mountain bike schools in America. That is due in part to an amazing trail network in the nearby mountains, and also the fact that Brevard actively recruits top mountain bike racers to come to its campus. Though Brevard doesn't have a lot of scholarship money to throw around, the students who visit the campus are often so impressed that they don't want to attend any other school, says head mountain bike coach Brad Perley. One of the nation's top contenders in the college ranks for years, Brevard won the Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championship in Varsity Division I for 2016. The school is consistently ranked among the south's top colleges and has been rated as one of the nation's best colleges for students' first-year experiences.
FORT LEWIS COLLEGE, DURANGO, COLORADO
Situated at an elevation of 6872 feet on a mesa overlooking downtown Durango, Fort Lewis College is the premier mountain biking college in America. Past graduates of its race program include multi-time national champions Todd Wells and Howard Grotts, along with marathon national champion Payson McElveen.
Fort Lewis College's first mountain bike team was formed in 1994, and soon the school became the top mountain bike college in the country. Over the past 24 years, Fort Lewis College has won the Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championship title some 20 times, according to head coach Dave Hagen.
Surprisingly, mountain biking is still considered a club sport at Fort Lewis College, so anyone can join the team. As a result, the group had 130 members last year. Eighty were serious competitors, and the other 50 joined the team to enjoy riding in one of the best mountain biking locations in America.
Though the school considers mountain biking a "club sport," USA Cycling classifies Fort Lewis as a Varsity Division I team, the top collegiate division in the country, since the school (1) funds a full-time coaching staff and (2) offers enough scholarship money to place it in the top ranks of intercollegiate mountain biking schools.
One of the best things about Fort Lewis is that you can ride singletrack trails right from the campus into one of the biggest and best mountain bike trail systems in America.
MARIAN UNIVERSITY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA
Marian University has ranked as the top all-around cycling university in the country for nearly 10 years. Despite Marian's success in other fields of cycling, the school has yet to win the national mountain biking title. It's possible that the main thing holding Marian University back from dominating the intercollegiate mountain bike rankings is the fact that Marian doesn't have great mountain bike trails right next to its campus the way schools like Fort Lewis and Brevard do. Marian is located in the capital city of Indiana with a population of over 800,000 people. Students need to travel about 15 minutes away from the campus to access good mountain bike trails, according to head coach Dean Peterson.
The college has 2200 students and a 42-acre cycling park on its campus, including an indoor velodrome and a BMX track. While the overall cycling program is widely considered the best in the nation, the nearest mountain bike trails may not be quite appealing enough to draw top-level mountain bikers away from the competing colleges. Nevertheless, for those racers who want to compete in other cycling events in addition to mountain biking, Marian could easily be a serious racer's number-one choice.
LINDSEY WILSON COLLEGE, COLUMBIA, KENTUCKY
Although most mountain bikers probably don't think about Kentucky when they're thinking about great places to go riding, Lindsey Wilson can change that impression. The school has fielded one of the top teams in collegiate cycling for years, with multiple National Championship titles to its credit. Lindsey Wilson recruits high school mountain bike racers the way other schools recruit conventional athletes, and the school offers scholarships to top racers. The cycling scholarship program has been said to be among the most heavily funded in the nation.
The University of Colorado at Boulder is a regular contender for the title of the top collegiate mountain bike school in America. Its collegiate cycling team has over 100 members, ranging from novices to neo-professionals. The school boasted the top college mountain bike team in the country in 2014 in Varsity Division
1. The school ranked number one in the country again in the Club Division I category last year, scoring more points in the Team Omnium (combined-category) classification than any other school. This is a big school with over 30,000 students. Students may need to leave the campus to find great mountain biking, but such riding can be found in the near- by mountains only a few miles away.
KING UNIVERSITY, BRISTOL, TENNESSEE
King University (originally King College) is a Christian liberal arts school with just over 2900 students. It is located on a wooded campus only two minutes from downtown Bristol. With 1700 students, King College consistently ranks among the top mountain biking schools in the east. In 2016, the school's mountain bike team placed first in the national rankings among Varsity Division II teams, which is one step down from Division I but still impressive.
WESTERN STATE COLORADO UNIVERSITY, GUNNISON, COLORADO
The school was founded over 100 years ago and now has 2400 students. You'll find great trails nearby at Hartman Rocks, while the legendary trails of Crested Butte are only an hour away. The school lies at an elevation of just over 7700 feet, which could be beneficial if you're a student who wants to enjoy the benefits of altitude training. Watch for this school's reputation to continue to grow.
LEES-MCRAE COLLEGE, BANNER ELK, NORTH CAROLINA

At 4000 feet above sea level, the highest elevation of any college east of the Mississippi River, Lees-McRae has long been a powerhouse in mountain biking competition. Although the school only has about 900 students, Lees-McRae has long been vying for the top spot among cycling colleges and has been a consistent threat in intercollegiate competitions for years. Over 95 percent of the students receive financial aid, and scholarships are available for mountain bikers, which is one of the hallmarks of the Varsity Division I schools, a status that Lees-McRae has held for years.
WARREN WILSON COLLEGE, ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
Located in the Swannanoa Valley, 10 miles outside of downtown Asheville, the 1100-acre campus has its own mountain bike trails and is surrounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains. There are no football or baseball teams at this school, but mountain biking is a varsity sport. The school prides itself on having its students combine academics, work and service in a "triad" program, so students gain valuable experience in their field of study by the time they graduate. The school came in fourth last year in the Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships in the Varsity Division II Omnium standings, which combines the results of the top racers in cross-country, short track, downhill, 4-Cross and team relay divisions.
LINDENWOOD UNIVERSITY, ST. CHARLES, MISSOURI
With 14,500 students, Lindenwood has long been a top competitor in collegiate mountain biking. Cycling became a varsity sport here in 2007, and the mountain bike team is classified in the highest competitive category, Varsity Division I, where the school ranked ninth out of nine schools last year. This is a big school, and it benefits from having the kind of financial muscle that can help a school's mountain bike program. The school competes in the Midwest Collegiate Cycling Conference.
SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN, ATLANTA, GEORGIA
The university opened in 1979 with just seven faculty members and 71 students. Since then, the school has grown to more than 12,000 students in four locations: Savannah, Georgia; Atlanta, Georgia; Lacoste, France; and Hong Kong. In recent years, the Atlanta campus has emerged as one of the top mountain biking schools in the U.S., finishing eighth overall last year in Varsity Division I at the Collegiate Mountain Biking National Championships. The school is reported to have plenty of money for mountain bike scholarships, too, which is one of the reasons the school is in the Varsity Division I category.
MILLIGAN COLLEGE, ELIZABETHTON, TENNESSEE
Founded in 1866, Milligan College is a Christian liberal arts college with approximately 1200 students located in the mountains of Upper East Tennessee. The school ranked seventh last year in America's Varsity Division I mountain bike rankings, which puts the school in the top ranks of America's mountain bike colleges. That classification means that the school has at least one paid coach. It can also offer scholarships to top high school candidates and help pay the students' expenses when they travel to races.
UNIVERSITY OF VERMONT, BURLINGTON, VERMONT
With just over 10,000 students, the University of Vermont has emerged as one of the top competitive mountain biking schools in the nation. Since the school is located in northern New England, mountain bikers may have to go skiing in the winter months when the snow piles up, but that's not such a bad thing to do, either. The school ranked fifth overall among all divisions in the 2017 Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships.
CALIFORNIA POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY, SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA
Located in one of the most beautiful regions of California, Cal Poly is a top-ranked science and engineering school that also offers excellent mountain biking in the nearby hills all year long. Sitting halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco on the Central Coast of California, Cal Poly has long been a contender in the Intercollegiate National Championships.
MARS HILL UNIVERSITY, MARS HILL, NORTH CAROLINA
Located in the mountains of western North Carolina at an elevation of 2330 feet, Mars Hill is a private liberal arts university that is 15 miles north of Asheville. With 2200 students, Mars Hill has long ranked among the strongest mountain bike schools in the area (and the region is one of the most competitive in the country).
APPALACHIAN STATE UNIVERSITY, BOONE, NORTH CAROLINA
With an undergraduate enrollment of 16,000, Appalachian State University is one of the bigger schools in our selection. It's also one of the top schools competitively when it comes to mountain biking. The school ranked seventh overall among all categories of schools—Varsity Divisions I and II, and Club Divisions I and II—in the Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships last year.
There are too many competitive mountain bike schools in America to mention them all. Here are some of the other top mountain biking schools that you might want to consider.
Stanford University (Stanford, CA)
Union College (Barbourville, KY)
Westminster College (Salt Lake City, UT)
University of Utah (Salt Lake City, UT)
Colorado School of Mines (Golden, CO)
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, NY)

Introducing Earthbound – the undisputed trend-of-the-moment. Brimming with beautiful botanicals and fresh spring hues, this new season style is as pretty as it is versatile. Based on natural tones, fibres and finishes, Earthbound additions will blend seamlessly into your existing décor, enhancing existing items with their subtle yet enchanting details.
When it comes to dissecting a trend, who better to ask than the person who formulated it? We sat down with our Textile Designer, Tori to discuss all things Earthbound.
Taking it back to basics, we started with the colour palette. "It's all about tranquil tones," she explains. "Calming greys, soft sage greens and muted dusty pinks." Almost feminist in its tonality, the collection "celebrates women through flowers." Now, isn't that a lovely thought?
In fact, the trend itself is based entirely on wellness. "Coming out of a busy winter into a fresh change of season, it's time to slow things down and take a minute to reset, refresh and focus on feeling good," says Tori.
You'll also find yourself drawn to the incredible eyelet embroidery Remnant of a different time, this trend is a modern throwback. "Derived from broderie anglaise, the eyelet trend creates an element of nostalgia. Taking us back to our childhood, textures often bring a sense of comfort," Tori continues.
Now that the trend represents so much more than just beautiful designs, we're willing to be you're all the more intrigued. If you're looking to introduce a subtle, earthy feel into your home this spring, you've come to the right place. Drift off to sleep amid a sea of soft tones, delicate details and light layering; create a fresh bathroom oasis dedicated to pure relaxation, and come home to an utterly liveable entertaining area fit for spring events to come.

My job is anything but boring. I can rarely predict how the day is going to unfold. I'm the head of my team and support five people in the field. I try to make their job easier by making the conditions in which they work as pleasant as possible. I'm also there to lend an ear when necessary. The rest of my day is typically packed to bursting with discussions with people from other departments. There's always something new to deal with, and that's one of the reasons I like my job.
I like the people in my team; I call them 'my lads' — I'm the only woman in the team. They're unfailingly polite on the job, and I always try to put a smile on their faces. I think being in a good mood is just as important as doing the job itself. It's these less tangible things that really make me look forward to the week.
It's nice to work in an informal company. In Germany we address everyone with 'Sie', the formal 'you', but at EPS we're all on a first-name basis — the country manager is just Kurt, not 'Mr Jäger'. That makes it a lot easier to just talk to people. My manager doesn't get upset if I talk to the managing director, for instance, whose door is almost always open. Informality lets you get things done quickly.
I like the fact that people are always willing to give you whatever support you need. I've met no one here who isn't like that. The sharing of ideas and information seems to be an intrinsic part of the company culture. It makes work a lot easier.
Most amusing observation? Almost no one here is a native English speaker. So we all speak a sort of composite English. Sometimes you'll even hear someone say something in their own language, but with an English pronunciation. That's always funny. It's nice to see how language can bring people together.
And of course the trays connect us all. Our standard one in Germany is shiny and has a lovely green colour — looks really nice when loaded with fruit and vegetables. The fact that some people find alternative uses for our crates is something of a compliment, I think.

Among the many ethnic and linguist groups spread throughout Pakistan is the Pakhtun tribe of the Yousafzais, who live in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and across the Durand Line in Afghanistan. The Yousafzais are further divided into various khels (clans) and families. One is the Khawja Markhel in the village of Sumbatchan in the picturesque valley of Upper Swat, an idyllic place in the foothills of the Hindu Kush Range. The fiercely patriarchal society is organized under Pakhtunwali, an ancient tribal honor code; the ancient social institutions of the Hujra and Gudoor, men's and women's social spaces; Jirga system, a council of elders; and ashar, collective reciprocal labor.
When the schools were forcibly shut by the Taliban, even pleasurable traditional games of the children were banned. The young boys of Sumbatchan, nevertheless, improvised, making some acceptable to the Taliban. One such game was called chor-sepahi, a tagging game similar to cops and robbers, which became Taliban-Fauji (army man). The Taliban team would hide their faces in swaths of turban cloth while the Faujis would tuck their shirts in their shalwars (traditional trousers). The two sides would run around the village streets shouting 'Taliban' and 'Fauji'. Imtiaz, a Sumbatchan Khawja Markhel, remembers that the Taliban smiled and encouraged the children to play the game and, of course, to cheer for the Taliban. Other games could not be played during those years because the children could not find ways to make them acceptable to the Taliban. The local community reminisces "Those were the days when even the mynah had gone quiet".
Two children are chosen as leaders for setting the targets for the other children. The rest of the children form a queue and take turns playing the game.
The two leaders sit on the ground with their hands vertically placed on top of each other, either as closed fists or open, and invite the other children to jump over the closed or open fists. When the fists are closed they call out 'bund gobi' (closed cabbage), and when open, 'khuli gobi' (open cabbage).
At each stage of the game, the two leaders use their hands, arms, legs, and feet to increase the jumping height or to create more intricate shapes for the players to jump over.
If a player touches either of the two leaders, then that player is declared out. The players must be constantly deciding on how to cross over the shapes created by the two leaders. The two leaders also name the shape by calling out "ghunta wala" (big canal), "lakhtey" (drain), or another shape name.
The Hujra and Gudoor, the traditional support systems for transferring ICH knowledge, have again been activated and schools are being rehabilitated. International agencies, donors, NGOs, the government, and the army have joined the effort. The army has developed parks and promotes sports, such as cricket and football, which did not exist in this village before. While this is important, what is equally necessary is safeguarding the traditional games and the many forms of ICH that comprise the oral knowledge and traditional wisdom of Khaawja Markhels.
Local people have put together the Sumbatcham CBO with one of its objectives as safeguarding ICH. In its effort to keep culture at the forefront of development, the UNESCO Islamabad Office is developing a resource kit on ICH, which includes a chapter on traditional games. Building teachers' and educators' capacities, including Sumbatcham, is planned, and with local people, other measures for safeguarding the immensely rich ICH of the Khawja Markhel community are being enacted.


Nadezhda Khazina was born in Saratov, Russia, on 31st October, 1899. Her mother was a doctor but she wanted to become an artist and studied under A. A. Ekster. The family moved to Kiev in the Ukraine. After leaving school she studied art.
In 1919 Khazina met the famous poet, Osip Mandelstam in Kiev. They married three years later. He was hostile to the Communist government and his poetry never conformed to the official doctrine of Socialist Realism. They moved to Petrograd in 1922 but later settled in Moscow.
In 1934 Mandelstam wrote an epigram about Stalin: His fingers are fat as grubs and the words, final as lead weights, fall from his lips... His cockroach whiskers leer and his boot tops gleam... the murderer and peasant slayer". It has been described as as a "sixteen line death sentence." Mandelstam was arrested and exiled to Cherdyn.
Mandelstam was allowed to return to Moscow in May, 1937. During the Great Purge, Mandelstam was attacked for his unwillingness to adopt Socialist Realism and he was accused of holding anti-Soviet views. In 1938 he was arrested and and charged with "counter-revolutionary activities" and was sentenced to five years in correction camps.
Nadezhda Khazina later wrote: "The principles and aims of mass terror have nothing in common with ordinary police work or with security. The only purpose of terror is intimidation. To plunge the whole country into a state of chronic fear, the number of victims must be raised to astronomical levels, and on every floor of every building there must always be several apartments from which the tenants have suddenly been taken away. The remaining inhabitants will be model citizens for the rest of their lives - this was true for every street and every city through which the broom has swept. The only essential thing for those who rule by terror is not to overlook the new generations growing up without faith in their elders, and keep on repeating the process in systematic fashion."
Osip Mandelstam wrote to his wife in October, 1938: "My health is very bad, I'm extremely exhausted and thin, almost unrecognizable, but I don't know whether there's any sense in sending clothes, food and money. You can try, all the same, I'm very cold without proper clothes." The Soviet government reported that Mandelstam died at Vtoraya Rechka, on 27th December, 1938.
After her husband's death, Nadezhda taught English. Things became easier after the death of Joseph Stalin but it was not until 1964 that Nikita Khrushchev allowed her to return to Moscow. Nadezhda published two volumes of autobiography, Hope Against Hope (1970) and Hope Abandoned (1974). Clive James has argued in Cultural Amnesia (2008): "The two books... were key chapters in the new bible that the twentieth century had written for us."
Nadezhda Mandelstam died in Moscow on 29th December 1980.
(1) When Osip Mandelstam was being investigated by the Secret Police he went to see the short-story writer, Isaac Babel, a leading figure in the Union of Soviet Writers. The meeting was later recorded by Nadezhda Khazina.
The next person we consulted was Babel. We told him our troubles, and during the whole of our long conversation he listened with remarkable intentness. Everything about Babel gave an impression of all-consuming curiosity - the way he held his head, his mouth and chin, and particularly his eyes. It is not often that one sees such undisguised curiously in the eyes of a grown-up. I had the feeling that Babel's main driving force was the unbridled curiously with which he scrutinized life and people.
With his usual ability to size things up, he was quick to decide on the best course for us. "Go out to Kalinin," he said, "Nikolai Erdman is there - his old woman just love him." This was Babel's cryptic way of saying that all Erdman's female admirers would never have allowed him to settle in a bad place. He also thought we might be able to get some help from them - in finding a room there, for instance. Babel volunteered to get the money for our fare the next day.
In the period of the Yezhov terror - the mass arrests came in waves of varying intensity - there must sometimes have been no more room in the jails, and to those of us still free it looked as though the highest wave had passed and the terror was abating. After each show trial, people sighed, "Well, it's all over at last." What they meant was: "Thank God, it looks as though I've escaped. But then there would be a new wave, and the same people would rush to heap abuse on the "enemies of the people."
Wild inventions and monstrous accusations had become an end in themselves, and officials of the secret police applied all their ingenuity to them, as though reveling in the total arbitrariness of their power.
The principles and aims of mass terror have nothing in common with ordinary police work or with security. The only purpose of terror is intimidation. To plunge the whole country into a state of chronic fear, the number of victims must be raised to astronomical levels, and on every floor of every building there must always be several apartments from which the tenants have suddenly been taken away. The remaining inhabitants will be model citizens for the rest of their lives - this was true for every street and every city through which the broom has swept. The only essential thing for those who rule by terror is not to overlook the new generations growing up without faith in their elders, and keep on repeating the process in systematic fashion.
Stalin ruled for a long time and saw to it that the waves of terror recurred from time to time, always on even greater scale than before. But the champions of terror invariably leave one thing out of account - namely, that they can't kill everyone, and among their cowed, half-demented subjects there are always witnesses who survive to tell the tale.

David Foster Wallace is dead. That's truly, horribly sad.
And I don't think I really understood what loneliness was when I was a young man. And now I've got a much less clear idea of what the point of art is, but I think it's got something to do with loneliness and something to do with setting up a conversation between human beings. And I know that when I started this book I wanted-- I had very vague and not very ambitious...ambitions, and one was I wanted to do something really sad. I'd done comedy before, I wanted to do just something really sad and I wanted to do something about what was sad about America.

You're Here: Home / Blog / Digital Signage / Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) remit to widen – maybe to digital signage?
Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) remit to widen – maybe to digital signage?
Posted on September 1, 2010 by Dynamax
The ASA have just announced that their remit is to be increased to include online advertising. This may have a knock on effect on the advertising funded digital signage market in the UK (A good thing IMHO) as the killer line is "and sales promotions wherever they appear"
Landmark agreement extends ASA's digital remit
The digital remit of the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is to be extended significantly to deliver more comprehensive consumer protection online. The ASA"s present remit online includes ads in paid-for space and sales promotions wherever they appear. But from next year, the rules in the UK Code of Non-broadcast Advertising, Sales Promotion and Direct Marketing (the CAP Code) will apply in full to marketing communications online, including the rules relating to misleading advertising, social responsibility and the protection of children. The remit will apply to all sectors and all businesses and organisations regardless of size. The Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP), the body responsible for writing the CAP Code, has decided to extend the digital remit of the ASA in response to a formal recommendation from a wide cross-section of UK industry. CAP has today published a document detailing the new remit and sanctions. In summary: The new remit will ensure the same high standards as in other media and will cover:  Advertisers" own marketing communications on their own websites and;  Marketing communications in other non-paid-for space under their control, such as social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. The remit is focussed on "selling" messages in order to protect the right to freedom of speech online. For example, journalistic and editorial content and material related to causes and ideas – except those that are direct solicitations of donations for fund-raising – are excluded from the remit. Sanctions In addition to the ASA"s present sanctions, which already achieve a high level of compliance, CAP member bodies have agreed new sanctions to apply to the extended remit such as:
 Removal of paid-for search advertising – ads that link to the page hosting the non-compliant marketing communication may be removed with the agreement of the search engines.  ASA paid-for search advertisements – the ASA could place advertisements online highlighting an advertiser"s continued non-compliance. Funding The industry has agreed to apply the standard 0.1% levy on paid-for advertisements appearing on internet search engines through media and search agencies. This is an extension of the existing funding mechanism in other media that pays for the ASA and it will be supplemented initially with seed capital from Google. Implementation The remit will come into force on 1 March 2011 after a six month period of grace to allow the ASA and CAP to conduct training work to raise awareness and educate business on the requirements of the CAP Code, particularly amongst those who may not previously have been subject to ASA regulation. Website owners and agencies are urged to sign up to CAP Services at www.cap.org.uk to receive guidance and training to help ensure their sites comply with the new rules before 1 March 2011. ASA Chairman Lord Chris Smith said, "This significant extension of the ASA"s remit has the protection of children and consumers at its heart. We have received over 4,500 complaints since 2008 about marketing communications on websites that we couldn"t deal with, but from 1 March anyone who has a concern about a marketing communication online will be able to turn to the ASA." CAP Chairman Andrew Brown said, "Extending the online remit of the ASA has been a top priority for UK industry over the last couple of years. Our aim has been to extend further in the online world the principles that are already well established in our system, namely those of effective consumer protection and fair competition."
1. The ASA is the independent regulator of advertisements across all media in the UK. We do so in the public interest and with the co-operation of advertisers, agencies and media owners who are committed to observing the Advertising Codes. The ASA acts independently of both the Government and the advertising industry.
2. The Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) is the industry body responsible for writing and enforcing the Advertising Codes. CAP comprises representatives of advertisers, agencies and media owners, all of which are committed to upholding the highest standards in advertising.
3. The ASA presently regulates marketing communications appearing in magazines and newspapers, on billboards, leaflets and brochures, Direct mail, ads on the internet (such as banner and display ads and sponsored search), SMS, MMS, cinema, radio and TV commercials and teleshopping. We also regulate sales promotions wherever they appear. Our full remit can be read at http://www.asa.org.uk/Regulation-Explained/What-we-cover.aspx.
4. The ASA is funded by a 0.1% levy on advertising space costs (0.2% levy on mailsort contracts). The levy is collected at arms-length by the Advertising Standards Board of Finance (Asbof) to ensure the ASA"s independence. Asbof has published a guide to collecting the extended levy at http://www.asbof.co.uk.
5. CAP"s document "Extending the Online Remit of the CAP Code" is available in the Press Zone areas of the ASA and CAP websites.
6. The UK Advertising Code can be read at http://www.cap.org.uk/The-Codes/CAP-Code.aspx
7. CAP Services are a range of bespoke advice, training events and online resources to help all practitioners stay on top of advertising regulation and the requirements of the UK Advertising Codes, http://bcap.org.uk/CAPServices.aspx
8. The number of cases received by the ASA relating to website content increased dramatically from 0 in 1999 to 2,146 in 2008. The average number of website content cases received by the ASA between from 2007-2009 was 2,005 per year.
9. In 2009, the Internet was the second most complained about medium attracting 3,546 complaints about 2,823 marketing communications. 57% of these cases fell outside the ASA"s remit.

Influencer Reminds Us That for Every Woman Unhappy With Stretch Marks, There's One Wishing She Had Them
Here's why she's proud of all the droopy wrinkles on her belly.
By Samantha Lauriello
The grass is always greener, right? If you have curly hair, you wish you had straight; if you're tall, you want to be short, and vice versa. Influencer Desiree Fortin is proving this pattern also applies to postpartum stretch marks.
In a recent Instagram post, Fortin included this quote: "For every woman unhappy with her postpartum marks, there is one wishing she had them." In other words, being a mother is a blessing, one not all women are fortunate enough to have. So instead of criticizing postpartum bodies, we should be celebrating them.
"For every women unhappy with her postpartum marks, there is one wishing she had them." I love this quote. I once was her, the "one," waiting, wishing, hoping to be a Mother. Finding out I was finally going to be a Mom was one most incredible feelings. It didn't matter whether I was going to give birth naturally or have a cesarean (however you do it, you're amazing). And it didn't matter that my body was going to change drastically. I was finally going to be a Mom, a Mom to triplets! And although I never imagined my body would look the way it does now, it represents so much more. There is a lot of extra skin, stretch marks, sag and wrinkles. And while my new Mom body may be hard to love sometimes, it is a new me that represents the power of the female body and the miracle of carrying three babies. As I have shared before, I call my postpartum marks my "Hope wounds" and they have taught me a greater meaning of self-love and appreciation for my body. I think that it is important to change our Mom body perspectives. There is empowerment for yourself in loving yourself. Our postpartum marks are stories of hope, stories of love, and sometimes stories of loss. There is so much beauty in our Mom bodies because above all they represent life, our children, and the undeniable love we have for them. For the "one"somewhere wishing, hoping, praying for her miracle, this is for you. For the one who delivered and lost your baby, I know these are all you physically have left of your angel. You are strong mama. And to all the Mama's struggling to love themselves: you're beautiful, strong, and may you be empowered to love yourself a little more today!! Choose to change your perspective because your beautiful! Bra/Undies: @knix >>> the most incredible bra and underwear I own!!! P.S EXCITING NEWS Next week I leave for an amazing Body + Love Workshop by @sarahsapora I'm so excited to be surrounded and inspired by an amazing group of people all supporting each other! I will be share more details in my stories 💕
A post shared by Desiree Fortin (@theperfectmom) on Sep 17, 2018 at 2:24pm PDT
Fortin recalled when she was the one waiting, hoping, and wishing motherhood would be in the cards for her. "Finding out I was finally going to be a mom was one [of the] most incredible feelings," she wrote. "It didn't matter that my body was going to change drastically. I was finally going to be a mom, a mom to triplets!"
She admits she didn't imagine her body would look the way it does now, with extra skin, stretch marks, and wrinkles, but it doesn't matter. "While my new mom body may be hard to love sometimes, it is a new me that represents the power of the female body and the miracle of carrying three babies."

She's right. Bringing a baby, let alone three at one time, into the world is damn hard, and all mothers deserve to have their strength recognized.
"Our postpartum marks are stories of hope, stories of love, and sometimes stories of loss," she wrote. "There is so much beauty in our mom bodies because above all they represent life, our children, and the undeniable love we have for them."

Nykaa black magic liquid liner comes in a slender plastic packaging. The long cap handle gives enough flexibility to work and draw different eyeliner shapes. My favorite is the dramatic winged eyeliner, though I'm yet to master it. Whether you want to go for a thin defined line or a thicker line, the brush applicator of this liner delivers the perfect look. It's smooth and glides on easily. And, because, the brush is not dense, there are no clumps while lining the eyes. The color is bold, rich, black and very pigmented. Though, if you like matte liners, this one is not for you because it gives a shine finish. It also dries up pretty quickly. The liner comes off easily with water ( It's water resistant but not water proof ). One thing that gravitated me towards buying this liner was it's affordable price and now that I've used it, I can say that you'll not regret buying this liner. I've worn this for 7 hours on my eyes and it didn't crack. Quality and staying power is amazing and it's reasonably priced too. If you're on a lookout for a new black liner, I'd suggest you to go for this. You can view this post to see how it looks on my eyes.
Have you tried the nykaa black magic liquid liner ?
Such a great liner. Loved it. Thanks for the review.
Nice review! I was confused about buying it and now I'll buy it.

Home Mary Lambert From bartender to Grammy nominee: Mary Lambert tells Jack Osbourne how much her life has changed in just one year
From bartender to Grammy nominee: Mary Lambert tells Jack Osbourne how much her life has changed in just one year
By Daily Style Entertainment • January 27, 2014 • Grammy 2014 Award Grammy nominee Mary Lambert • Comments : 0
A hit song really can change lives and Mary Lambert is living proof.
The 24-year-old singer-songwriter from Seattle is nominated for Song of the Year alongside rap duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis for their song collaboration, Same Love.
It's been quite a year for the vibrant redhead, who told Jack Osbourne on the Grammy red carpet that she was a bartender just one year ago.
Spilling secrets: During an interview with Jack Osbourne on the Grammy red carpet, Mary Lambert said she was a bartender just a year ago, and now she's nominated
'@marylambertsing told me she was bar tending just one year ago. Now she's nominated @TheGRAMMYs! #fuseGRAMMYs,' Osbourne tweeted during his red carpet assignment for Fuse TV.
For her first Grammys, Mary wore a short black, taffeta strapless dress with gold embossing on the bodice and black-and-gold pumps.
Her dress showed off the colorful tattoo sleeve on her left arm.
She wore her red hair down and wavy and minimal makeup except for a bright red lipstick.
How far she's come: Mary was handpicked by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis to provide the hook for Same Love
There was a bit of kismet involved in Mary joining forces with the now-red-hot rap duo.
The pair wrote Same Love but wanted to add a hook and so they reached out to fellow Seattle artist Mary.
Lambert told the Associated Press that she had 'about two or three hours' to write the song's chorus and record it in front of the breakthrough stars.
'They loved it,' she said. 'It was like this beautiful minute of silence after I had sung the chorus.'
Bright future: The singer has turned her part of Same Love into a single called She Keeps Me Warm
The song, about gay love and acceptance has special meaning for Mary, who is openly gay.
According to the New York Times, 34 gay, straight and interracial couples, including Ryan's sister and her boyfriend, will exchange vows during the Grammy performance of 'Same Love.'
Queen Latifah will officate the marriages and Madonna will join the the performance at Staples Center in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Special guest: Jennifer Hudson joined Macklemore, Ryan and Mary during their performance on the MTV Video Music Awards in August in Brooklyn
Lambert signed to Capitol Records and will release a full-length album this year, according to AP.
She plans to sing about topics from female empowerment, fat shaming and domestic violence.
She also released a book of poetry, called 500 Tips for Fat Girls, in January 2013.

The GOP's Coronavirus Aid Gives Millions To…the F-35?
Jul 29, 2020 covid19
A trillion-dollar relief package proposed by Senate Republicans includes billions for new military equipment that have nothing to do with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Much of equipment, including ships and fighter jets, was defunded earlier this year to pay for President Donald Trump's border wall.The HEALs act restores much of that lost funding and then some, in some cases earmarking even more money for key weapon systems than were originally taken away.
The U.S. military is set to receive billions of dollars in military equipment canceled earlier this year. The equipment, including F-35 fighter jets, C-130J transports, and fast transport ships were canceled in order to pay for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The proposed equipment, which has little to no utility in fighting the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, is being criticized as classic pork barrel spending.
According to Business Insider, Republican members of the U.S. Senate have proposed the "HEALS" Act as an answer to the current COVID-19 pandemic. "HEALS" stands for "Health, Economic Assistance, Liability protection, and Schools." The act, should it pass into law, will authorize $1 trillion in pandemic-related spending.
US President Donald Trump participates in a ceremony commemorating the 200th mile of border wall at the international border with Mexico in San Luis, Arizona, June 23, 2020.

The HEALS Act includes nearly $30 billion in military spending. Much of the spending, NBC News points out, will restore programs that were gutted to pay for President Donald. J. Trump's wall along the US-Mexico border. Trump repeatedly promised during his campaign and the early years of presidency that the wall would be funded by Mexico, though there was no real plan to do so.
Of the $30 billion earmarked for the Pentagon, $7 billion of the proposed spending is on military hardware canceled to make way for the U.S.-Mexico wall. The number includes $686 million earmarked to buy F-35A fighter jets for the U.S. Air Force and $740 million for C-130J Super Hercules transports.

The HEALS act, according to U.S. Naval Institute News, will also include $1.45 billion for "four expeditionary medical ships," hospital ships built on the Expeditionary Fast Transport hull. The EFT program was drained of $261 million to pay for Trump's wall, while the new number increases that spending sixfold. While the U.S. Navy will soon need replacements for its two existing hospital ships, Mercy and Comfort, it's not clear the EFT hull is the ideal choice for new hospital ships.
The two existing ships are built on oil tanker hulls and the EFT is a much smaller vessel. It's worth noting that Expeditionary Fast Transport ships are built in Alabama, the home state of Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Richard Shelby, the architect of the HEALS Act.
One of the most striking funding proposals is for the U.S. Navy's P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. As The Washington Post reports, the Trump administration took $180 million from the P-8 program saying the US Navy had enough planes and that the aircraft was a "congressional special interest item." The HEALS Act includes more than $1 billion for the P-8 program.

Other military spending slipped into HEALS includes $650 million for new A-10 Warthog jet wings, $375 million to upgrade the Army's Stryker armored vehicle, $283 million for Apache attack helicopters, and $76 million for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-ballistic missile system.
It's not clear how anti-ballistic missile systems, fighter jets, and armored vehicles help an America badly rattled by the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly looming crises in unemployment, debt and housing payments, child care, and other COVID-related costs. While defense contractors are employers and keep people working, much of the spending feels like a reward for the Pentagon for redirecting military spending to fund the border wall without complaint.
The HEALS Act faces significant opposition from Senate Democrats, with Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy characterizing it as a "billion dollar giveaway to the defense industry."

Q: What is the fastest way to earn tank EXP in World of Tanks? Ok, so I have a tier 4 scout, and its next upgrade takes like 5,000 EXP to research. So what would be the easiest way to earn that much EXP in a short amount of time?

A: Damage dealt is the primary source of xp, damage dealt to higher tier tanks even more so. If you can damage enemy tanks, especially high tier enemies, you'll get xp. If you can't damage enemies, the next best bet, especially in a tier four light is to assist allies in doing damage. The two ways to do this and get credit are to track enemies that receive damage while tracked by you, or to spot enemies that allies who otherwise wouldn't be able to see shoot while lit by you. Working in coordination with your teammates is essential for getting assistance credit for the damage they do, but by lighting enemies you can get significant xp.
Another option is to take a path that doesn't go through a tier four light, because if the matchmaking for them is as bad as in the PC version, it's often easier to not go up against so many high tier tanks (tier fours got matchmade as dedicated scouts in higher tier matches).
Other than focusing on xp generation, another very important thing for playing well and maximizing xp gain is to know when a risk is worth it and when you should really be preserving your hp. Health is a resource to manage, and light tanks can do considerably better in the later game, when enemies are alone.

A: XP accumulates on individual tanks quickly, and in the free XP pool slowly.  Free XP can be used on ANY tank regardless of type or nation.  The only time tank XP can be used for other tanks is if you've already elited your tank and haven't been spending it on the crew, but this doesn't matter if you're still chasing unlocks.
Play the game in the tank you want to upgrade first and foremost.
If you die before the round ends, your next choice of tank should be the tank which gives you the most amount of free XP - high tier, premium and something that hasn't used it's daily double will help.
HOWEVER - in such situations you can end up starting a round in a different tank to fill the time, and find the round where your desired tank is stuck ends not long after you start, meaning you're slaving away for maybe 20-50 free XP while you could be earning 400-1000 XP on your chosen tank in that time.  For that reason, tanks which favour quick rounds are preferable.  Generally dieing early so you can finish a round is bad play, however the right YOLO tank can still allow you to do this while helping your team.

A: Do more damage, xp gained is proportional to that.
For a scout, do more 'scouting assisted' damage - where your team shoots tanks that they wouldn't see themselves, but are spotted by you.
Die less, as you need to focus your earned xp to that particular tank, so you need to be doing damage in it instead of sitting in garage waiting for the next game.
And, of course, 5k is a tiny amount of xp - you'll get to 100k xp costs rather soon.

A: As @SysDragon says, play a lot. And be sure to play a lot with vehicles of that same nation and tier, as exp doesn't translate across nations and tiers (though you can invest real $$$ and buy gold which allows you to do that).
There's no other way apart maybe from investing real $$$ and buying exp (wouldn't surprise me if that's an option in the online store, the game is pay to win after all).

A: *

*Play a lot

*Spot a lot

*Kill a lot

*Damage a lot

*Capture a lot

We live in an exciting age of new technology, with the internet, mobile devices, and automation driving the world into the Fourth Industrial Revolution, forging connections at a speed never seen before. This breakneck pace means forward-thinking global organizations must take steps to stay ahead of the wave. Global trade executives are working closely with their internal and external technological support to harness the power of the latest advances to facilitate global trade.
What this looks like in practice can vary widely from company to company – not every technological solution will be a good fit for every company. That's where choosing the right technology stack comes into play.
While it can be enticing to jump on the latest, shiniest new technology, adopting too early or without the right structure in place can become a money pit, making companies much more gun-shy about future technology purchases, and even preventing them from moving forward. Rather than starting from scratch, there are six steps every company should take in putting together the right technology stack, and it starts with knowledge.
Knowledge is power, and some clichés exist for a reason. Without having a clear picture of your end-to-end supply chain, how can you discern what technology you need, and how it will be leveraged? The very first step in making process improvements is to map your current processes, from beginning to end. While this can seem like a daunting task based on the complexity of today's supply chains, it is a critical first step toward understanding your unique technology needs. Jumping in without a clear understanding of what is needed and where may lead to buyer's regret and wasted time and money.
Global trade is a risky business, and there are many variables that you can plan for, but not control. Political upheavals and regulatory changes, natural disasters and labor unrest are just a few risks that all supply chains face. However, most companies also face risks that are unique to their industry, operating locations, customers, and partnerships. Your company must conduct a proper risk assessment first to gain a complete understanding of the potential pitfalls facing your supply chain. This assessment is an important step toward informing your technology adoption choices.
After you have gained a full understanding of the risks facing your supply chain, the next step should be risk mitigation. This means setting goals for how technology can address each risk. This is also the time to assess the marketplace in order to update your global trade strategies and determine how to employ technology to out-compete rivals. How will your technology stack enable your desired capabilities? The resultant list of goals will inform your technology adoption strategy.
There is an overwhelming amount of technology available in 2019, and there's no slow-down of new technology emerging. To help make the process manageable, you need to assemble a knowledgeable team. Bring together your IT department, consultants, and technology providers to identify specific technologies that can reduce your risks and bolster competitiveness. What technologies do you already have, and what other technologies might complement them?
Once you have found a list of suitable technologies, develop a plan that outlines how those technologies will interact to give your company a distinct advantage. As firms are realizing now, choosing the right stack for your company will be a unique source of competitive advantage. Indeed, technologies themselves can be employed by any company – but it's in how they are employed and leveraged with your existing and other new technologies that will give you the leg up.
Creating a seamless and functional technology stack to support your global supply chain won't happen overnight. It takes both time and persistence to make sure your chosen stack is assembled so that it meets or exceeds your expectations. You will need to continue to scan the technology environment and keep a good pulse on your current capabilities to determine how well your stack is working, and what changes you might need to make in the future to maintain your newly-found competitive advantage. This is where working with technology providers can help immensely. Whether you are assisted by third-party or internal expertise, you'll need to keep abreast of your supply chain and technology environments to make continuous improvements. This process described here is not a one-time event, and you need to put management controls in place to ensure you remain up-to-date and relevant.


This is a gif from a scene I made back in May. What I want to do is build a scene that introduces a scene from The Selkie's Tale novel I wrote. This one would be a mini hunt for a selkie's pelt, because when you have the selkie's skin, you own the selkie.
I had managed to get the basic scene converted to mesh, add an avatar and the horse. I got the character moving forward and backward and had the animation controller running on the horse. All very buggy and a bald avatar. I even put up a webGL version from what I had made. My goal was to get as far as I could on my own and then ask for help.
Neothar Cortex helped me get things working better today. It took us awhile but we've got a webGL version up that can be used on a tablet by opening in Firefox.
Then he exported a version that can be downloaded to play on Windows desktop. This is just setting and characters. The horse was not animated yet in the uploaded version.
Get the horse waypoints and animations done properly.
Add some interactive text story/quest components that play as the character walks through the scene.
This takes a long, long time to load on iPad and I used Firefox.
Go straight to web version in your browser from here.Use your arrow keys to navigate through the scene. The character starts in run mode so hold down the shift key if you want to walk.

GUELPH, ON, July 21 /CNW/ - In March, a massive fire destroyed a Calgary condominium complex, leaving at least 250 occupants homeless. The combustive culprit was a cigarette in a planter outside the complex. Recently there has been a spike in fires sparked by smoking materials in potting soil. The Co-operators is urging Canadians to be aware of the danger associated with disposing cigarettes in potted plants.
There has recently been a noticeable increase of incidents of fires caused by dry peat moss in potting soil. Problems are also related to fertilizers in the soil, which can act as oxidizers that accelerate fires. Many potting soils on the market today contain less dirt and more organic substances that are flammable, such as shredded wood, bark, peat moss, Styrofoam, and vermiculite.
"People should remember to be prudent when disposing their cigarettes," said Glen Oxford, claims manager for The Co-operators. "You might think you are safely extinguishing it in dirt and not realize the soil is actually flammable. The reality is that homes have burned to the ground because of careless cigarette disposal."
-   Do not use potted plants as an ashtray.
-   Always keep potted plants well watered and maintained.
-   Do not keep potted plants near combustible materials.
-   Unused potting soil should be spread in your yard or garden.
Due to smoking by-laws and changes in habits, more smokers are lighting up outside than in the past and when ashtrays are not available, smokers often use outdoor pots to extinguish their cigarettes. A preventative measure to reduce the risk of potting soil fires is to make ashtrays more readily accessible for outdoor smokers.
The Co-operators Group Limited is a 100 per cent Canadian-owned co-operative with more than $36.9 billion in assets under administration. Through its group of companies, it offers home, auto, life, group, travel, commercial and farm insurance, as well as investment products.
The Co-operators is owned by 47 Canadian co-operatives, credit union centrals and like-minded organizations. It is well known for its community involvement, and is listed among the 50 Best Employers in Canada.

Q: Is the following a valid question re: The Coulomb force? I'm making up some practice questions for a course on electromagnetism and electric circuits.  I like to make the students think, but I also want to make sure that my questions aren't terribly incorrect.  I was thinking of asking a question that links an interesting application with what they are learning, but I'm not sure if the question is so simplified as to be meaningless.  Here it is:
An ion engine in a spacecraft works by applying an electric field to charged ions.  As the field pushes on those ions, a reactive force is developed on the spacecraft, pushing it forward.
Assume:

*

*The magnitude of the electric field right at the engine's electrode is $E$ and drops off with the square of the distance from the electrode.

*The mass of the spacecraft is $m$.

*The charge of each ion is $q$.

What is the net change in momentum of the spacecraft that results when 1Kg of propellant is consumed?
My issue here is that I'm 90% sure that the actual way the engine works is much more complex than this.  I'm wondering if the simplifications are OK, or if they make the question so absurd as to be meaningless.  I can always remove the spacecraft part and just have two charged particles pushing each other away, but I like to add in real world applications if I can.


CARROLLTON, Ohio – Commercial sales for Carroll County Energy's $899 million electrical generation plant have now begun, its parent company announced this morning.
Advanced Power said the natural gas-fueled generation plant produces enough electricity to power 750,000 homes and became operational in mid-December.
The plant employs 22 full-time and features two GE gas turbines and one steam turbine. Bechtel served as the general contractor on the project and Ethos Energy operates the facility. Advanced Power manages the business, and the project required more than 500 tradesmen during the construction phase.
The Carroll County plant is the first of five regional combined-cycle energy generation projects announced over the last four and a half years to come online. Advanced Power is also considering building a $1.1 billion electrical plant near Wellsville.
Simultaneously, work continues on Clean Energy Future LLC's Lordstown Energy Center, a $900 million combined-cycle electrical plant that will serve the region. A second plant at the site was announced last year, but that project has hit a legal roadblock and has yet to obtain financing.
A fifth project – the Hickory Run Energy Center – is under development by Tyr Energy Inc. in nearby Lawrence County, Pa. That plant, when operational, should have the capacity to supply electricity to more than 1 million homes.
Advanced Power announced in July 2013 its plans to construct an $899 million, 700-megawatt combined-cycle natural gas electrical generation plant. Financing for the project closed in April 2015.


We have two version of our Geocaching Maine banner. I was wondering which one everyone thought was the better one to us.
Current one seems "crisper" to me. I lose the G in the second version with the topo lines. Besides, green is Maine!
I prefer #1, but think it could be worked a little. Perhaps lighten up the topo lines, and possibly a border around the edge?
I like either one but I think a nice addition to the Logo would be the slogan " The Way Caching Should Be" in a smaller font, what do you think?
I like the original but think adding our slogan in smaller print might work well.
I like the idea of having the logo somewhere too, witchever logo is chosen.
I added the phrase to the current logo. Does that look Ok or should it be in black lettering too?
I would like black better.
Cool! I think black would be great as well.
I changed it to black.
I like your idea too but I don't think it should be as our logo on the top of the page. Maybe once you becaome a member ot want to have the logo on something you own it would be good.

Admirals in the Age of Nelson
By Lee Bienkowski
The period of the French Wars (1793–1815), known as the golden age of fighting sail in Great Britain because of the extraordinary victories won by the Royal Navy, produced an impressive roster of brilliant flag officers. To date, however, these naval leaders have been overshadowed by the legendary status of their contemporary Admiral Lord Nelson. This book corrects the oversight ...

Players Like Sergio Ramos Are Why You Can Never Count Out Real Madrid
Billy Haisley
Filed to:real madrid

Real Madrid were always going to struggle to cope with losing Cristiano Ronaldo last summer, and during the first half of a miserable season with only one notable bright spot, that challenge proved even tougher than most would've imagined. However, Real Madrid are still Real Madrid, winners of four of the last five Champions League titles, possessors of a squad of unimaginable talent and experience and depth. If any team could overcome a terrible spell to start the year and turn it around in time to find themselves legitimate contenders for every trophy, it would be them.
The past month has been far and away the best stretch of Real's season, and it couldn't have come at a better time. They've won each of their past five matches in La Liga, including a huge win away at their cross-town rivals Atlético Madrid last weekend, and have pulled all the way back into second place in the table within striking distance of league-leading Barcelona. They successfully navigated past Leganés over two legs in the Copa del Rey in the quarterfinals, and earned themselves a creditable 1-1 draw away at Barça in the first leg of the semis that positions them well for a potential spot in the final. The performances haven't always been the prettiest, but they've been enough to keep Real in with a chance for the titles they demand of themselves. And after playing so awfully for practically the entirety of the 2018 half of the season, just staying alive is more than enough to celebrate.
Madrid's 2-1 win over Ajax in the Champions League yesterday was indicative of their season in a few ways. For one, it was far from comprehensive. Real were wildly outplayed for almost the entire match and were fortunate not to lose, let alone come away with the win. Real captain Sergio Ramos put it best after the match: "Ajax won the beautiful game, but the result was Real Madrid's." Secondly, the win turned on a burst of speed and inspiration from Vinícius, the teen phenom who has almost single-handedly saved the Blancos' campaign, and a cool finish from Karim Benzema, Madrid's best player this season. And it was only possible for Real to hang in there long enough for the other superstars in the lineup to wake up and snatch the win their collective talent level should've made a virtual certainty because of the heroic individual efforts of Ramos, arguably the best big-game player in the entire world:
Ramos was unbelievable all day. Despite facing wave after wave of Ajax attacks, and far too often receiving almost no assistance from any of his teammates, Ramos was able to thwart nearly every single dangerous move by himself. He was a one-man wall standing up to an entire team of wrecking balls, and after getting battered for 90 minutes, somehow he was still standing.
This is what makes Real Madrid so great, and still, even without Ronaldo and in the midst of a bad season, so formidable in their favorite competition. Madrid can put out an entire starting XI of players who have the ability and experience necessary to completely dominate a Champions League knockout match by themselves. Ramos, Raphaël Varane, Casemiro, Luka Modrić, Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale, and Benzema have all done exactly that in the past and can still do it today. Both of their goalkeepers can do it. Isco has done it, too, though he hasn't featured much this year and might not be called upon to do so for the rest of the season. And young guns Vinícius, Marco Asensio, and Dani Ceballos have all shown so much talent and character that it feels like the only thing keeping them being counted on as candidates to boss a big UCL match by their lonesome is the opportunity to prove it. No other team in Europe comes close to that level of overwhelming individual match-winning talent.
Madrid might not have a deeply embedded playing style, or the individual and collective consistency, or the mindset to accomplish the kind of league dominance Barcelona have enjoyed this past decade, but there is a reason for this team's unprecedented dominance of the Champions League—and it goes far beyond Ronaldo. No matter how low Real may have fallen prior in the season, no matter how poorly they've played in any given match even, they have complete confidence that before long, at least one member of their astounding arsenal of dominators will keep them around long enough for the others to come around too and reassert their true, terrifying level. Ronaldo may have left, but the European Cup still resides in Madrid. Until the final whistle blows and a team has officially stopped the juggernaut, no one should count on that changing any time soon.
At Least Real Madrid's Lost Season Has Given Us The Rise Of Vinícius
Real Madrid Is In A Pit of Sadness Right Now

Mega Man, také znám jako Rock Man v Japonsku, je postava z video her vytvořena Keijim Inafunem a také současným maskotem firmy Capcom.

První hra, ve které byl představen, je známá jako Klasický Mega Man, vyšla na NES v roce 1987. Od té doby vyšlo hodně takzvaných spin-offů, např. Mega Man NT Warrior či Mega Man Legends. Klasický hrací styl ovšem stále pokračoval v sériích X a Zero.

The first look trailer for the Saved By The Bell reboot has been released and there's a mini Zack Morris!
HerFamily
We're going back to Bayside!
After endless speculation over whether the high school comedy would be the next in line for a modern day reboot, and which of its ensemble cast could be tempted back if it did, six months ago it was finally confirmed that an all new Saved By The Bell was happening.
Now, a teaser trailer has landed and it gives us our first look inside the all new Bayside High.
Thirty years on from the original show, Mario Lopez is back as AC Slater, but this time he's the school's PE teacher. In the trailer we see Slater dishing out love life advice to students whose parents will be very familiar to fans of the original show.
We also get a glimpse of Elizabeth Berkley – aka Jessie Spano – now sporting sleek blonde locks in place of her schoolgirl curls. And speaking of blondes, the show's lead character is the son of Zack Morris, who sports a tribute to his dad's 1990s curtains haircut.
The plot of the reboot, which will air on NBCUnviersal's new streaming service Peacock, has previously been revealed.
Mark-Paul Gosselaar reprises his role as Zack Morris, who is now the California Governor. After finding himself in trouble for closing too many low-income high schools, he proposes that the affected students be sent to the highest-performing schools in the state — including Bayside High. The newcomers will give the school's privileged elite a much-needed dose of reality.
From what we've seen, the show will feature lots of fan favourites, like The Max – which looked kind of like and Eddie Rocket's where the students all hung out.
Saved By The Bell ran from 1989 to 1992, and was followed by a College Years incarnation that ran for another two years from 1993-1994. Also in 1993, we were introduced to The New Class at Bayside - where Mr Belding was still principal and Screech was his assistant.
The rebooted series is set to debut on Peacock this summer.
