Matt Wattles - "He Struggled To Get New Clients In The Door. Now He's Added 16 New Long-Term Clients And 2x His Monthly Revenue In Just 60 Days"
Business is booming for Matt Wattles of Competitive Edge Athletic Performance Center, Meridian, ID, USA.
His schedule is full with 31 great clients (16 of them brand new) and he's got a new confidence (and real systems and tools in place he can use) to bring in more new clients anytime he wants or needs to.
Even better, he's still learning how to apply new systems to get more clients. Yet he's growing past being a one-man shop and now starting to think of himself as a fitness business owner and looking to hire quality coaches to free him up.
But just two months back, Matt wasn't confident. Sales and marketing were missing pieces of the puzzle — he was handling everything himself, and wasn't sure how to go about bringing in enough new clients to grow to the next level.
Now he has already 2x his monthly revenue, gotten recurring payments for the first time, and added 16 long-term clients to bring his total to 31. That's nearly $4.5k in new revenue right away, and more than $12k total revenues.
His great efforts and results have earned Matt Wattles the title as Class Winner of the May/June 2018 AUTO-CLOSER® course.
Matt's focuses his clients on the strength, speed, and agility metrics required to excel, and that's part of how he's sent 153 athletes to the college ranks.[/caption]
Experienced coach, but …
Matt Wattles is a former strength athlete who trains high-end athletes at Competitive Edge Athletic Performance Center, Meridian, ID. His niche was preparing young athletes to develop the speed and strength they'll need to compete at the highest levels.
"I've sent 153 kids on to the college level now," said Matt.
Matt has a bachelor's and a master's degree in exercise physiology, and has published research articles in academic journals and presented his research at conferences over the years. He's a past president of the American Society of Exercise Physiologists, and he's been coaching and training people for more than 20 years.
He has also worked with Division I athletic programs and professional sports teams such as the New York Yankees and New England Patriots.
'No one ever taught me marketing or how to sell'
But with all the success in his field and with helping his existing clients, Matt always found it difficult to bring on board new clients.
"No one ever taught me marketing or how to sell," said Matt. "And obviously, that's a huge component of the fitness industry. You could be the best fitness trainer out there, but if you don't have good sales and marketing, you're going to struggle. And that was my biggest struggle."
And Matt wasn't sure where to turn. Online research didn't give him the information he needed, or the "reps" he needed to perfect sales consultations.
"I had a lack of understanding of what I needed to do," explained Matt.
Worse, he didn't have a lot of time. But he had to try something.
Matt signed up for the most recent class of AUTO-CLOSER® because he'd successfully worked with NPE previously.
"I started with NPE years ago and purchased [a former product called Backstage Pass] early on when we first opened the Competitive Edge facility and used the basics of that to create a lot of what we have now," said Matt.
But he never had direct training in sales and marketing.
"What I really like about NPE is you just follow the systems," said Matt. "It makes things a lot easier."
Matt started out as a strength athlete, and his passion for competition led to his creating a fitness business that serve youth, collegiate, and pro athletes today.
'I have a great relationship with my clients, but I just wasn't reaching out for referrals'
Matt hit the course hard, according to Katrina Cobb, NPE's Product Owner for the FAST-TRACK™ and ACADEMY™ coaching programs, and NPE Senior Success Coach Ric Isaac.
"Matt has been ON IT from the beginning. He is super-committed and super-excited. He worked through each lesson, and paused and did the homework … he did weekly updates in our Facebook group, and participated on every coaching call as well," said Katrina.
"Like a lot of people, Matt never thought of sales as a system. Sales is just 'in hustle mode,' wondering who to talk to and what to say. With a system, you know exactly who to work with, exactly how to get those people in front of you, and exactly what to say to them. The goal is to take the stress and confusion out of how to sign new clients," said Katrina.
"Matt dove in and followed the directions. He didn't pause for doubt. He implemented as he went along and he got results," said Katrina.
Matt said that learning the sales consultation process has been helpful, as well as packaging and pricing information, but the biggest changes to his results came from referrals and networking.
"I have a great relationship with my clients, but I just wasn't reaching out for referrals," said Matt. "I think before if I had more of my system in place, I would have done better."
Once he did reach out for referrals, his world changed. His clients were happy with him and happy to provide names of their friends and colleagues who wanted his help. Like a lot of fitness professionals, he'd been too busy to ask, and he hadn't had a system for how to ask and how to follow up with a process to bring the person all the way to coming on board as a new client.
And once he asked, he had great new leads and a system for converting them.
His second favorite section was networking — reaching out to other professionals who can supply you with leads.
"I really like the networking section. I have a local orthopedic clinic for sports medicine feeding me a lot of clients … but the more I get out and talk to people, the more I'm going to make headway.
16 new clients and 2x revenues in 60 days
Matt's effort generated immediate results. He has brought in 16 new clients using the referral system he learned. That has added up to nearly $4.5k in new revenue right away, and the total value of the packages he's sold is more than $12k.
That leaves Matt with not only almost 10x the purchase price of the course, but another $8k in revenue on the way. Matt's results more than doubled his total number of clients before the class and nearly doubled the revenue.
Matt's success with the referrals topped the May 2018 class's performance. As such, Matt Wattles is the May 2018 AUTO-CLOSER® Class Winner, and entitled to a full refund of his tuition.
Deadlifting more than 700 pounds requires focus, consistency, and intensity–qualities Matt passes on to the young athletes he trains.
'Business is booming'
"Business is booming," said Matt. "Now I need systems to handle the growth."
Ric added, "Matt was able to get much longer term commitments from his clients. Now he's not just month-to-month but can project out to the future … and he shifted his belief thinking he was the only one who could do sales to understanding that he has a system and tools now so that anyone can do it. He now has the confidence to see how he can scale the business beyond just him."
Matt said the biggest reward of AUTO-CLOSER® is new confidence.
"I have a solid understanding of what I can do with this now," said Matt. "I'm still new to this … I'm still doing things wrong, but the more I implement this, the more I practice this, and the more I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel … where I can train other people on this."
Matt's excited about the future.
"This has buried me right now, but I can see that in the next months this is going to free me up so I can start hiring. My next biggest goal is to bring staff in to help and assist with this and I need those systems to train staff."
Matt sums up, "So far, it's been just me … the trainer and the coach, and I have to separate myself and become a business owner."

Watch Jimi Hendrix perform Elvis' 'Hound Dog' as part of an acoustic backstage jam
Jack Whatley
@jackwhatley89
Thu 7th May 2020 17.00 BST
Rarely seen footage of Jimi Hendrix performing is a holy grail for many fans. An icon with such a short period in music means much of his work has been pawed over again and again with no stone left unturned. You can imagine our joy when we found this little gem of the guitar genius performing Elvis' classic, 'Hound Dog'.
Not only is the footage a candid video of Hendrix in a familiar backstage setting conducting an impromptu jam session, but it's one of the rare moments on film he does so with an acoustic guitar.
Hendrix's importance on rock and roll is undeniable—but most of that was done with his electric guitar plugged in and charged to the max. It makes for curious watching when you catch the virtuoso on the traditional variant of the instrument, even more so when he's paying homage to the royalty of rock and roll.
Hendrix reworks the classic to make it his own—as if you didn't already know he would—and leaves a final track which has the entourage screaming for more.
It marks one of the only times he picks up the acoustic guitar on camera. The other time can be found below also, as part of a 1973 documentary Jimi Hendrix and sees the guitarist play 'Hear My Train A-Comin" on a 12-string with a devastating effect.
Nothing, though, can compare to the off-the-cuff rendition of the Elvis iconic tune. Surrounded by women with fluttering eyelashes, Hendrix provides an astounding cover that not only proves his love of the blues and the rock and roll that came out of them but that Hendrix is just as impressive without the wattage.
So next time you bump into a Spanish guitar expert and they suggest Hendrix was only really great because of the electrified amp then just point them this way and these two incredible acoustic performances.

Serious winter gear is unsexy: it's a corner of fashion that does not allow for much personal expression and is ruled by practicality. It's the stuff that is often unseen in an outfit post, but if you live in places with cold winters, they are the most crucial.
I hoard gloves… in part out of necessity, as I have poor circulation so my extremities are often cold in the winter.
While I really like cashmere-lined leather gloves, I personally find them totally useless in sub-40 weather, as they aren't windproof and my fingers lose heat quickly.
I regret not "investing" earlier in a pair of UGG shearling gloves. No other gloves keep my fingers from freezing as effectively as ones with water-resistant suede exteriors and fur interiors. They are kind of clunky and smartphone unfriendly (though a touchscreen friendly glove was made available this year), but they are fairly windproof and perfectly insulate my digits from the cold.
In the winter, I rarely leave the house without wearing a base layer from Uniqlo's Heattech collection. Sure, there are more premium options available, but Uniqlo's version is arguably just as good, and at very reasonable price levels to boot.
The only downside is that base layers are difficult to remove. If you overheat easily, save these base layers for very cold days, or outdoor activities.
Sure, cashmere scarves are lightweight and very warm, but even an acrylic scarf will keep you warm, provided they are large enough. And as much as I like my Acne Canada Scarf, you can find similar styles for much, much less. If your budget allows only occasional splurges, I'd recommend saving on "plain" scarves as a cashmere scarf from H&M is not all that different from a Max Mara one.
I like a good beanie (especially ones lined in fleece) as much as the next girl, but static and flyaway hair are often made worse by knit caps, so ear muffs are imo a more sensible alternative. My favorite is the UGG Tech Earmuffs which enable me to listen to music and podcasts while keeping my ears warm.
Smartwool "performance" socks are not the best looking, but they are a must in the winter for those with cold feet. I especially like the "Hike Medium Crew" and "Trekking Heavy Crew" socks, even though they are a bit heavy-duty for everyday wear. They are durable but comfortable, with medium-to-heavy cushioning that adds shock absorption. The merino wool (about 70%) in the material has some antimicrobial/odor-reduction properties and helps with moisture management.
And don't even think about wearing non-waterproof shoes on the days following a snowstorm. Unless you work from home, keep a pair of pumps and dressy flats at the office and commute in waterproof shoes. Depending on the depth of the slush puddles you need to brave, your best option may be the Hunter Tall Rain Boot or the Sorel Winter Fancy Lace II Boot.

Baytree Special School Planning Application - Dr Liam Fox MP letter to Chief Executive Officer at North Somerset Council
Dear Mrs Walker
I am writing to formally confirm my previously stated objection to the proposal to build on the land adjacent to Brookfield Walk in Clevedon. Let me again reiterate that there is widespread support for a much needed extension to Baytree School which already provides an excellent service for some of the most needy and vulnerable children in North Somerset but which clearly requires additional space for expansion. This objection relates to the specific site not the principle of expanding the school.
Since I last wrote to you on this subject we have all experienced the international crisis over COVID-19. This has caused many people to re-evaluate the importance of open spaces such as the important public amenity that is represented by the land beside Brookfield Walk including its ancient orchard. Public spaces like this, which have long been prized by families for providing a safe play environment for children, by those who regularly walk their dogs in this area and by residents who value a green space around their homes, have taken on added importance in recent times including as a safe area in which to exercise. I hope that North Somerset Council will appreciate the value of such amenities to the local population, particularly in the sort of difficult period that we are currently experiencing. It is now even clearer what the loss of such an asset would mean to the potential health and welfare of those who live in the surrounding parts of Clevedon. Many of the councillors who were elected last year to North Somerset for the first time made the protection of the environment a key issue. Whether or not they are willing to protect such a valuable green space will be seen as a key test of the sincerity of their commitment.
The Green Belt is hugely important in safeguarding our countryside from encroachment, one of its five defined purposes. Once these beautiful and valued spaces are lost they will never be recovered so we should see ourselves as their stewards, protecting them for future generations.
We must also recognise that many of our other Green Belt areas in North Somerset, such as those in Long Ashton and Portishead, could come under greater threat by the setting of any precedent to this site in Clevedon.
My more specific objectives are the same as those set out in my previous correspondence as follows:.
The appropriate permissions and restrictions affecting Green Belt development are set out in paragraphs 143 to 147 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
Proposals affecting the Green Belt
143. Inappropriate development is, by definition, harmful to the Green Belt and should not be approved except in very special circumstances.
144. When considering any planning application, local planning authorities should ensure that substantial weight is given to any harm to the Green Belt. 'Very special circumstances' will not exist unless the potential harm to the Green Belt by reason of inappropriateness, and any other harm resulting from the proposal, is clearly outweighed by other considerations.
145. A local planning authority should regard the construction of new buildings as inappropriate in the Green Belt. Exceptions to this are:
(a) buildings for agriculture and forestry;
(b) the provision of appropriate facilities (in connection with the existing use of land or a change of use) for outdoor sport, outdoor recreation, cemeteries and burial grounds and allotments; as long as the facilities preserve the openness of the Green Belt and do not conflict with the purposes of including land within it;
(c) the extension or alteration of a building provided that it does not result in disproportionate additions over and above the size of the original building;
(d) the replacement of a building, provided the new building is in the same use and not materially larger than the one it replaces;
(e) limited infilling in villages;
(f) limited affordable housing for local community needs under policies set out in the development plan (including policies for rural exception sites); and
(g) limited infilling or the partial or complete redevelopment of previously developed land, whether redundant or in continuing use (excluding temporary buildings), which would:
· not have a greater impact on the openness of the Green Belt than the existing development; or
· not cause substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt, where the development would re-use previously developed land and contribute to meeting an identified affordable housing need within the area of the local planning authority.
146. Certain other forms of development are also not inappropriate in the Green Belt provided they preserve its openness and do not conflict with the purposes of including land within it. These are:
(a) mineral extraction;
(b) engineering operations;
(c) local transport infrastructure which can demonstrate a requirement for a Green Belt location;
(d) the re-use of buildings provided that the buildings are of permanent and substantial construction;
(e) material changes in the use of land (such as changes of use for outdoor sport or recreation, or for cemeteries and burial grounds); and
(f) development brought forward under a Community Right to Build Order or Neighbourhood Development Order.
147. When located in the Green Belt, elements of many renewable energy projects will comprise inappropriate development. In such cases developers will need to demonstrate very special circumstances if projects are to proceed. Such very special circumstances may include the wider environmental benefits associated with increased production of energy from renewable sources.
Two of the sites for the expanded facilities of Baytree school are in Green Belt while eleven of the proposed sites are not. North Somerset Council appear to argue that ownership of the land is a reason to build on Green Belt sites as the costs would be lower. This financial consideration is not one of the exceptions set out in National Planning Policy.
The expansion of Baytree school is a matter of urgency and elected representatives at all levels should work together to explore potential sites outside the Green Belt, including potential funding for the purchase of any necessary land. I would be very happy to work with the local authority and the school representatives to do this.
The proposed building on the Green Belt at Brookfield Way, however, does not conform with National Planning guidelines and this specific option should be rejected. It would be a pity to waste further time and resources, on top of the £1 million already spent, on an option that is clearly in breach of guidelines. Alternative options need to be properly evaluated without delay.
In the south-west we have seen the lowest rate of Covid 19 deaths in the UK which some experts have put down to the much lower population density that exists in our region. While only time will tell how accurate this view is, there is little doubt that we have come to reassess and re-evaluate the importance of open public spaces for the welfare of the local population. For all the reasons contained in this submission I hope that North Somerset Council will reject this planning application.

Jumpy can't be stopped! After humble beginnings on the iPhone, he found his way onto the iPad, Android, and Mac platforms. And now, in his biggest leap yet he's making the jump to Facebook. More info coming soon, but here's a teaser screenshot for now.
Stephen Ceresia is Marketing Manager at ReignDesign. Stephen is from Canada and is currently based in Shanghai.
What non-ReignDesign apps are we using?


Sam Tinnesz – "Legends Are Made": This song sounds like it was tailor made for a summer blockbuster film. Perhaps a coming of age film, or better yet a superhero film. A superhero that comes of age? In any case, I'm pretty dang stoked about the hook in this song, which I would venture would be Sam's goal. Duh. Also, I'll admit I checked out this song based on my love of Sam's band Wave and Rome, which takes more of a dark indie rock route. I'm a sucker for cinematic electropop, especially when it's pulled off well. This song has that in spades.
TRISTN – "Anywhere But Here": I'm digging that vaguely 90s grunge sound I hear mixed in with that modern pop feel that is difficult to describe. The song is definitely radio and playlist worthy. There are points in the chorus where the melody seems to pull back where I expect it to soar. It's a little outside the box, and I'm back and forth on whether I would like the song more if it went more where I expected, or if I respect it more for the direction it takes.
Chris LaRocca – "Wild": If Toro y Moi were writing for pop radio, you might get something like this. Like the single artwork, the song feels hazy and uncertain, though the melody is very assertive. It isn't a feel good track, but the track that lands somewhere between between chillwave and top 40 certainly has a niche somewhere in the pop music consumer base.
Cold Specks – "Fool's Paradise": In 2015, in one of my favorite concerts of the year, I would find myself unexpectedly spellbound by an artist in an old theater during my wait for Sufjan Stevens to take the stage. Though "Fool's Paradise" is a new single, I imagine it in my mind's eye to conjure an aesthetic similar to a number of songs off Sufjan's Carrie and Lowell album – perhaps album closer "Blue Bucket of Gold." The song is haunting and transcendent. The type of thing I'd just as well choose to fall asleep to as zone out in nature to.
Baby Island – "Break the Lease": Well, I can't say I'm a huge fan of the band name, but I am a fan of this powerpop track. The track seems to be belong in a twilight party setting. When the party is starting to wind down but people are reluctant to go home. Warm melodies to encourage fun but just a dash of reverb to give the song a pensive feel. As a pensive guy who seeks positivity, I like that combo.
HONEY – "Dream Come Now": Gosh, I've been drowning so much in reverb and vibey tunes over here that I needed something to wake me up. Ironically, that need would be fulfilled by a song called "Dream Come Now." A creepy riff introduces an absolute banger of a track that… wait for it… actually got this writer to bob my head on my couch at home! I might sound really sarcastic, but listen – any song that causes me to move when we get so many music submissions to comb through is probably pretty good.


The grade of and quality of our matcha are mainly depend on the maturity of the tea leaf. The younger the tea leaf, the higher content of umami and chlorophyll which gives the matcha the sweetness and vibrant green color. Besides, younger tea leaf has lower bitterness, top grade matcha has no bitterness.
Ceremony Grade matcha is suitable for used to make Japanese matcha tea as in Japanese Tea Ceremony. Ceremony grade matcha has very high umami (pleasant plant sweetness), and low astringency (bitterness), therefore it's best choice to be used to make matcha tea without sugar. Read how to prepare matcha tea.
Classic grade matcha is suitable for most beverage applications, ice-cream and softserve, it has good amount of umami (pleasant sweetness), and medium level of astringency. Mostly used for making low sugar matcha latte or other matcha drinks. It can be used for matcha thin tea too.
People think that higher grade is better. This is true for most of the cases especially matcha tea. But when comes to cooking and culinary, best matcha is matcha which has strong matcha flavor. Strong matcha flavor is important because it makes matcha flavour stand out after mixing with other ingredients.
Culinary grade matcha is suitable for kitchen use, such as baking, making ice-cream, jam, making dessert etc. It has stronger taste. It can also be used for dessert topping, or blending with sweet drinks. Making matcha latte with stronger flavour is very popular application too.
Our organic Matcha are USDA and JAS certified. In general, organic Matcha contains less sweetness as compared to conventional Matcha due to the restriction in fertiliser usage (although the fertiliser used for conventional Matcha are mostly organic compost).
Mori Ceremonial Matcha -Make matcha thin tea for tea ceremony.
Kaze Shizuoka and Meiko Uji Matcha - Make matcha latte, ice-cream or dessert for special occasion.
Shizuoka Matcha - Make matcha latte , baking, make ice-cream or dessert.


The Children's Law Center's (CLC) Annual Helping Children Soar Benefit was held at Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center in late September. The event, Co-Chaired by Gray Global Advisors' President and CEO, Justin Gray, raised over $1.2 million for the CLC. The 501c (3) was established to help improve the lives of D.C.'s at risk children and families by leveraging the legal, educational and healthcare systems to provide what is needed to help them live healthy and productive lives. Before more than 400 guests and contributors, the CLC presented a posthumous Distinguished Child Advocate Award to the late Honorable William Gray for his lifelong dedication to education, healthcare and disability access rights. Senator Robert Casey of Pennsylvania accepted the award for the Congressman, his widow, Andrea Gray, and son, Justin.


Agile Conferences, Inc., and the Cincinnati .NET User Group, both Ohio non-profit organizations, are pleased to announce our tenth conference. CincyDeliver combines the Cincinnati Day of Agile and Cincy.Develop() conferences into one, with content that covers all aspects of delivering quality software. CincyDeliver will be held on July 26, 2019 at the Manor House in Mason, OH. Our 2018 event drew over 550 attendees with 35 breakout sessions, and we expect our growth to continue.
From the very first Cincinnati Day of Agile in 2010, we have selected content and speakers for all aspects of development, from engineering, testing, project management, and process. Our goal has always been to provide a day where your entire team can come and learn, not only from the best speakers, but from each other. We continue to be the longest running and largest non-profit agile event serving the entire Tristate area.
In 2017 we doubled the number of sessions with the addition of Cincy.Develop(). This co-located conference included content on developing for Cloud, Mobile, and Web. While we have always offered technical content at the Day of Agile, Cincy.Develop() dives deeper into the topics that developers want (and need).
To put it succinctly, the entire day is all about delivering software.
Registration is now open! Registration will remain open until all tickets are sold.
Why the fee? Hosting an event costs money. The facility, the food, the coffee, the web hosting, all cost money. Did I mention the coffee? :-) The fees that we are charging is just a little over half of the total cost per person of the event. Our generous sponsors make up the rest.
Do the organizers or speakers get paid? Not one penny. As a matter of fact, they pay their own expenses to come speak for us, so it is really costing them money to come help organize or to speak. (Make sure you thank them for the event).
All speaker and schedule information will be hosted on www.CinyDeliver.org. Please stay tuned there for the latest updates.
Are you interested in being a sponsor? Please download our prospectus here.
This year we are offering refunds up to 30 days before the conference. We understand that schedules change, and the Manor house has been gracious enough to work with us on handling changing registration numbers.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) Leg spinner Ish Sodhi has been rushed into the New Zealand cricket squad touring India as a replacement for Todd Astle, who injured his groin after bowling three balls in a warmup match.
Astle, who won a recall to the New Zealand team for the Twenty20 and one-day international series in India, sustained the injury during a match against a President Board's XI at Mumbai on Wednesday. Scans confirmed Astle a tear, meaning he'll be out of action for three weeks.
Sodhi was initially overlooked for the ODI series but was due to join New Zealand for two T20s.
Coach Mike Hesson said Astle's injury was a cruel blow "and everyone in the team is certainly feeling for Todd."
The first ODI series starts Sunday at Mumbai.

Whichever way one voted, it is hard not to be dismayed by the shambles that is Brexit, concocted by all sides. In the event that any deal agreed gets voted down in Parliament, or there is no deal, there is a material chance that the government could fall. One or both of these events would come with great uncertainty. We set out three key investment risks relating to Brexit and how sensible portfolio structures can mitigate them.
Trump's belligerence, China's debt mountain, Putin's malevolence, not forgetting Brexit and the prospect of a far-left leaning Labour Government: All this turmoil inevitably leads to concern over investment portfolios.

initial reports of my death are wrong!
Turned up on another forum first, and then spread to several others!!
Whats actually occurred is the BBC ran a story on guy found dead in Dumfries and Galloway because of a home lab chemical spill, the emergency services called in university experts to try and identify the substance and sealed off the area. The age of the guy wasnt given, so on some sites i am well known on, 2+2=5.
I live in Dumfries and galloway but the guy died in Dumfries itself, they still dont know what he made that killed him, (we have good idea though). The home chemistry hobby is pretty tight knit, everyone knows everyone else involved in it. Whats sad is this is another nail in the coffin of the hobby.
Waiting to have it confirmed but some of us are pretty sure we know who it is and what the liquid he spilled was. Harsh as it sound..........Complete idiot.

Well sort of turns out things have been twisted a bit, there is an all out assault to kill off home chemistry. 100m exclusion zone blah blah blah, chemical on floor.... turns out we are all wrong. I just read a PM on another forum that gives more details. Is unfair the way the story has been portrayed
Most of us with labs or who do home chemistry do one of two things, we have a well equipped indoor lab or we do dangerous stuff outside with precautions. I now run a business and have a inside lab with the proper equipment, Even then i use appropriate safety gear with some things, even if i work in a fume cupboard.
There was some idiots around a few years back, but Darwin sorted most of them. The new version i have been given makes sense and turns out he wasnt an idiot its a scaremonger mentality by the police. He wasnt doing chemistry when he died. Yes he spilled chemicals at the time but nothing you dont normally spill.

Glad to see you're still with us, LG.
My circuit designs should be regarded as experimental. Although they work in simulation, their component values may need altering or additional components may be necessary when the circuits are built. Due safety precautions should be taken with any circuit involving mains voltage or electrostatic-sensitive components.

Guys, we have tangible proof of the after-life right here because ghosts never know that they're dead.
Well the complete story and spot the total idiotic response.
This is via friend who's mum is a nurse at the hospital, and a bit of digging around as it turns out he was known within the chemistry community. Guy late 50's early 60's gets first responders to scene, he was alive but in a bad way and there was a chemical puddle near by. They tried to save the guy for 20 mins before the ambulance turned up, but no luck he died at the scene. So police turn up and the guy is dead and there is a smell of chlorine in the air.
Mad panic and evacuate 100m around the house, cordon everything off and hospital goes to code black and full Hazmat. The people (4 of them) inside the house when they tried to sort him out were all fine, no one bothered to check the bottle that was knocked over and said BLEACH!
All they saw was chemistry stuff out and books on the table. Chemophobia in the UK is mad, none of this has been cleared up or reported as yet!! So people in the area still think the guy was upto no good. Appalling.
Somebody trying to make mustard gas and got it close enough to being right?
I also dug into your story through the alternate news sites. Alex Jones says you're a 37 year old government plant named gary and cenk uygur just keeps screaming, " look it up!" with absolutely zero coherent contexts while foaming at the mouth.

that's really quite sad, since a lot of modern chemistry and physics science comes from your country, both from academic study as well as tinkerers in their basements. just think, if governments had the same policies back then as they do now, the industrial revolution would not have happened.

Here in Aus it's just as bad. Yesterday, what appears to be 2 Molotov cocktails were discovered in a box in the front seat of a car. Full evacuation, bomb squad, 3 hours to "dismantle" the bombs. The owners of the car, whilst certainly not innocent have been charged with possession of a liquid explosive!! It appears that owning an oxidiser without a licence is now classed as owning explosives. I'm not sure what they would make of my Condy's crystals (Potassium Permanganate). I got the KMnO4 to titrate some (out of date) Hydrogen Peroxide that I acquired when I bought a hair salon. Just checked and I still have a bottle of H2O2 under the sink and acetone in the cupboard - looks like I inadvertently acquired all the precursors to an easy to make explosive. The world has gone mad.
The first responders were at home when they got told about the exclusion, they had left before the cordon and panic.
Mike i talk to several chemists in Aus, extremely dangerous place to do home chemistry and not get busted.
What is sad though is i can take 5V psu add table salt to water and after a few days crystallize and add sugar. BOOM!!
To o it properly i would actually add to other chemicals to the table salt, but you dont have to. Or boil bleach dry then recrystallize and add sugar or an organic solvent. Over reaction by governments without a clue. All my Biology/chemistry and Bio chem is now done under LTD companies, saves all the agro.
Many years ago I made some Lead Nitrate with the intention of making lead dioxide electrodes for perchlorate production. Decided against it as just too risky here.
Interesting path, Calcium Nitrate + Copper Sulphate to precipitate CaSo4. Then displace copper with lead filings.
Interestingly, I can get some very interesting chemicals from local stores - conc H2SO4, HCl, Xylene, very strong Sodium Hyperchlorate solution etc.
there's an interesting mixture available here in the USA called "Tannerite". it's ingredients are a nitrate, and aluminum powder. the ingredients are safe enough to be shipped, so people can mail-order it (shipped via UPS). when mixed, it explodes when hit by a rifle bullet (at or above a certain velocity). it's sold as a "reactive" target. i went shooting with family last weekend, and somebody at the other end of the firing line had brought a few bottles of Tannerite with them. that stuff is LOUD! but a lot of fun...
i am not a fan of governments that treat their citizens like kindergarten students (Johnny didn't play nice with his toys, so nobody should have them...).

Allowing private citizens easy access to chemicals that can easily kill hundreds (if not thousands) of people is not used or stored properly probably isn't a good idea!.
As a chemist doing research at a University my daughter is horrified what the Physics department keep trying to do, ordering dangerous chemicals with no idea of what the dangers are. Luckily her husband works as a technician in the Physics department, so Melissa noticed what they were doing and stopped them. Their response was that it was a solid, so there was no problem, hers was that it was a solid that diffuses into the air and kills anyone nearby, and they had enough to wipe out the entire university and much of the surrounding city! Their next suggestion was on a similar basis, her reply was that it again diffuses into the air, and the result is phosgene gas! - oops, there goes the city again.
Now these are Professors and Doctors at a decent University, the general public is likely to be even less safe with dangerous materials.

If there's one thing the internet is pretty good at, then it must be crunching lots of info by having a lot of folks look at said info. Call it crowdsourcing or collaboration, if you need a great many eyes to look at stuff, and a lot of opinions, the web is the place to go. So here comes Ameritocracy, a community-based, collaborative fact-checking site.
How does it work? Users submit statements made by politicians, pundits and the like, other users (aka the community) puts in their two cents of background or opinion (hopefully facts, too) they have on those statements. A reputation system helps separate the wheat from the chaff.
The core features of Ameritocracy are adding statements (made by a person or organization) and assessing statements. For example, if you hear Jane Doe say something on tv that you find questionable, you can submit that statement to the site to see what the community has to say about it, or you can add your own assessment. Members can then rate Jane Doe's statement for credibility and relevancy, add their own assessments, or post a comment. From this, Jane Doe will develop a reputation based on the community ratings, and you and your sources will develop a positive reputation so long as no one identifies your submission as a misquote or deliberately inaccurate information. The goal is to get a few different perspectives for each statement, so anyone looking to know more about a statement can get a broader picture and make their own assessment.
Sounds like a solid plan to me. Any platform that helps bring more transparency into political processes can just be good. If it harnesses the intelligence of the network, all the better.
More info? IPDI's Julie Germany interviewed Ameritocracy co-founder Porter Bayne. The team behind Ameritocracy blogs and twitters, too.

After Daniel makes a lengthy appeal to open diplomatic relations with the Tollan, they still refuse to trade technology with Earth. Incensed, O'Neill interrupts the negotiations and calls the talks off – if Earth's new allies can offer no help in defending the planet, they're not really allies. As SG-1 prepares to return to Earth, O'Neill takes a piece of Tollan technology without permission, specifically the device that neutralizes enemy weapons. General Hammond is outraged at the theft, and has O'Neill removed from active duty and examined for any evidence of alien mind control; to his dismay, Dr. Fraiser finds no such evidence. Faced with court-martial or retirement, O'Neill chooses retirement – and in very short order, he's contacted by Colonel Maybourne, who claims to be working for an "offshoot" of NID. Maybourne wants O'Neill to command teams going through a stargate again, but this time O'Neill will be pilfering any alien tech that could help Earth, with no diplomatic overtures. O'Neill reluctantly agrees to go along, but one of his very first missions pits him squarely against his former SG-1 teammates.


Lino Print Course WBEG member Helen Bulmer is teaching an exciting Lino Print course using a range of materials from paper to fabric and collage. From 10-12:15 This is a new venue at the Kegworth Village Hall, off Nottingham Road DE74 2FH. Starts Friday 9th October 2015 for 7 classes Book for Class 2335117 £53.90 Cheque to Workers Education Association at Woodgate Chambers, 70 Woodgate, Loughborough LE11 2TZ.
Printmaking is a great way of creating an immediate image – and even if you think you're "no at good art!" it's a great way to get started.
We will start by experimenting with simple foam printing plates to learn the basics of block printing. We'll then move onto working with lino and you'll learn how to develop a design from an image which is suitable for linoprinting. You might want to bring in your own images and develop a design from them.
We'll experiment with printing on paper, collage and fabric which could be pieces in themselves or be included in a personal craft project. You may then want to learn how to make a reduction print or to develop your own ideas and projects.
The course is ideal for those new to printing or anyone who wants to extend their mixed media skills.
For ideas as to what you may do on the course have a look at Lovely Lino on Helen's Art Stuff on Pinterest.

We need to improve the accuracy of AI accuracy discussions
Danny Crichton	3 years
Reading the tech press, you would be forgiven for believing that AI is going to eat pretty much every industry and job. Not a day goes by without another reporter breathlessly reporting some new machine learning product that is going to trounce human intelligence. That surfeit of enthusiasm doesn't originate just with journalists though — they are merely channeling the wild optimism of researchers and startup founders alike.
There has been an explosion of interest in artificial intelligence and machine learning over the past few years, as the hype around deep learning and other techniques has increased. Tens of thousands of research papers in AI are published yearly, and AngelList's startup directory for AI companies includes more than four thousands startups.
After being battered by story after story of AI's coming domination — the singularity, if you will — it shouldn't be surprising that 58% of Americans today are worried about losing their jobs to "new technology" like automation and artificial intelligence according to a newly released Northeastern University / Gallup poll. That fear outranks immigration and outsourcing by a large factor.
The truth though is much more complicated. Experts are increasingly recognizing that the "accuracy" of artificial intelligence is overstated. Furthermore, the accuracy numbers reported in the popular press are often misleading, and a more nuanced evaluation of the data would show that many AI applications have much more limited capabilities than we have been led to believe. Humans may indeed end up losing their jobs to AI, but there is a much longer road to go.
Another replication crisis
For the past decade or so, there has been a boiling controversy in research circles over what has been dubbed the "replication crisis" — the inability of researchers to duplicate the results of key papers in fields as diverse as psychology and oncology. Some studies have even put the number of failed replications at more than half of all papers.
The causes for this crisis are numerous. Researchers face a "publish or perish" situation where they need positive results in order to continue their work. Journals want splashy results to get more readers, and "p-hacking" has allowed researchers to get better results by massaging statistics in their favor.
Artificial intelligence research is not immune to such structural factors, and in fact, may even be worse given the incredible surge of excitement around AI, which has pushed researchers to find the most novel advances and share them as quickly and as widely as possible.
Now, there are growing concerns that the most important results in AI research are hard if not impossible to replicate. One challenge is that many AI papers are missing the key data required to run their underlying algorithms or worse, don't even include the source code for the algorithm under study. The training data used in machine learning is a huge part of the success of an algorithm's results, so without that data, it is nearly impossible to determine whether a particular algorithm is functioning as described.
Worse, in the rush to publish novel and new results, there has been less focus on replicating studies to show how repeatable different results are. From the MIT Technology Review article linked above, "…Peter Henderson, a computer scientist at McGill University in Montreal, showed that the performance of AIs designed to learn by trial and error is highly sensitive not only to the exact code used, but also to the random numbers generated to kick off training, and to 'hyperparameters'—settings that are not core to the algorithm but that affect how quickly it learns." Very small changes could lead to vastly different results.
Much as a single study in nutrition science should always be taken with a grain of salt (or perhaps butter now, or was it sugar?), new AI papers and services should be treated with a similar level of skepticism. A single paper or service demonstrating a singular result does not prove accuracy. Often, it means that a very choice dataset operating with very specific conditions can lead to a high point of accuracy that won't apply to a more general set of inputs.
Accurately reporting accuracy
There is a palpable excitement about the potential of AI to solve problems as diverse as clinical evaluation at a hospital to document scanning to terrorism prevention. That excitement though has clouded the ability of journalists and even researchers from accurately reporting accuracy.
Take this recent article about using AI to detect colorectal cancer. The article says that "The results were impressive — an accuracy of 86 percent — as the numbers were obtained by assessing patients whose colorectal polyp pathology was already diagnosed." The article also included the key results paragraph from the original study.
Or take this article about Google's machine learning service to perform language translation. "In some cases, Google says its GNMT system is even approaching human-level translation accuracy. That near-parity is restricted to transitions between related languages, like from English to Spanish and French."
These are randomly chosen articles, but there are hundreds of others that breathlessly report the latest AI advances and throw out either a single accuracy number, or a metaphor such as "human-level." If only evaluating AI programs were so simple!
Let's say you want to determine whether a mole on a person's skin is cancerous. This is what is known as a binary classification problem — the goal is to separate out patients into two groups: people who have cancer, and people who do not. A perfect algorithm with perfect accuracy would identify every person with cancer as having cancer, and would identify every person with no cancer as not having cancer. In other words, the results would have no false positives or false negatives.
That's simple enough, but the challenge is that conditions like cancer are essentially impossible to identify with perfect accuracy for computers and humans alike. Every medical diagnostic test usually has to make a tradeoff between how sensitive it is (how many positives does it identify correctly) versus how specific it is (how many negatives does it identify correctly). Given the danger of misidentifying a cancer patient (which could lead to death), tests are generally designed to ensure a high sensitivity by decreasing specificity (i.e. increasing false positives to ensure that as many positives are identified).
Product designers have choices here in how they want to balance those competing priorities. The same algorithm might be implemented differently depending on the the cost of false positives and negatives. If a research article or service doesn't discuss these tradeoffs, then accuracy is not being fairly represented.
Even more importantly, the singular value of accuracy is a bit of a misnomer. Accuracy reflects how many positive patients were identified positively and how many negative patients were identified negatively. But we can maintain the same accuracy by increasing one number and decreasing the other number or vice versa. In other words, a test could emphasize detecting positive patients well, or it could emphasize excluding negative patients from the results, while maintaining the same accuracy. Those are very different end goals, and some algorithms may be better tuned toward one rather than the other.
That's the complication of using a single number. Metaphors are even worse. "Human-level" doesn't say anything — there is rarely good data on the error rate of humans, and even when there is such data, it is often hard to compare the types of errors made by humans versus those made by machine learning.
That's just some of the complications for the simplest classification problem. All of the nuances around evaluating AI quality would take at least a book, and indeed, some researchers will no doubt spend their entire lives evaluating these systems.
Everyone can't get a PhD in artificial intelligence, but the onus is on each of us as consumers of these new technologies to apply a critical eye to these sunny claims and rigorously evaluate them. Whether it is reproducibility or breathless accuracy claims, it is important to remember that many of the AI techniques we rely on are mere technological babies, and still need a lot more time to mature.


Sea & Reef Aquaculture is located on the beautiful coast of Maine. We specialize in culturing only the highest quality marine ornamental fish for the aquarium hobby. Through careful research and dedication our team of marine biologists brings you saltwater fish of optimum health and vivid color.
Sea & Reef Aquaculture was founded in 2003 by marine biologist Soren Hansen. The company was started because of our love for the coral reefs and our desire to help protect it. It is well known that there are inherent problems with wild harvest of marine tropical fish including damaging harvesting methods, long transportation times, diseases, parasites, stressed fish and high mortality rates.
Our mission is to help reduce fishing pressure on the world's coral reefs by providing marine aquarium hobbyists with 100% captive bred marine ornamental fish.
Conscientious hobbyists can feel confident they are not impacting the coral reefs in a negative way when buying our captive bred fish. Through our research and development we strive to bring more captive bred species to the saltwater aquarium hobby. In many ways, captive bred fish are a better alternative to wild collected fish.
We have strict biosecurity in our facility and all our fish are guaranteed disease and parasite free.
Purchasing captive bred livestock helps limit our hobby's impact on coral reefs. All our fish are cultured in saltwater recirculation systems.
Our fish are already accustomed to life in a tank environment and therefore easily acclimate to your reef tank.
A short transit time ensures low stress during transport. In contrast, most wild collected fish experience long transit time from place of origin to your tank.
Captive bred fish associate people with food, which means they come up to the glass to beg for food rather than hiding in the presence of people.
Our fish are conditioned to eat a variety of food including flakes, pellets and frozen food. They will eat almost any aquarium diet you offer them.
Captive bred fish are generally much less aggressive than wild caught fish. For example, several captive raised false percula clownfish (Ocellaris) can peacefully coexist in the same tank.
When you buy a captive bred clownfish from Sea & Reef Aquaculture it is only a few months old. You can therefore be assured that your clownfish can live for many years. Did you know that a clownfish in captivity can survive more than 30 years?
Part of the proceeds from the sale of our fish helps support aquaculture research. We are currently engaged in a research project to develop culture protocols for pelagic spawning reef fish, like the flame angels (Centropyge loricula).
All our fish are born in the USA. By supporting Sea & Reef Aquaculture you are supporting a company which is 100% US based.

Schwab Takes Steps to Improve Its System for Online Services
a Wall Street Journal Staff Reporter
SAN FRANCISCO -- Charles Schwab & Co., whose online brokerage service has been plagued by computer outages, unveiled a new technology initiative with International Business Machines Corp. to ease such woes.
The new technology will enable Schwab's two data centers -- located 25 miles apart in Phoenix -- to share data "as if they were side by side," Schwab said, boosting the firm's "ability to handle unexpected volume swings and any random site outages, in an effort to make end-user service disruptions a thing...


Women Of The Sun is a four hour television drama mini series that screened on Australian television (SBS and later the ABC) in 1981, co-written by Sonia Borg and Hyllus Maris. It had a tremendous impact, bringing the Aboriginal story through the eyes of Aboriginal women - in their own language - to a national audience for the first time. Twenty-five years later, the producer of that series, Bob Weis, sets out to find out the impact the film had on five of the women who played major roles in the original series. Weis returns to Yirrkala where he found the cast for the first episode of the original series.
It's when Bob Weis explains how he feels connected to the history of Aboriginals in white Australia that the penny drops: European Jews the Weis family, by their millions, shared a similar experience to the Aboriginals, in a vicious echo of history that Weis has experienced very personally. But this is merely one aspect of this simple, honest and yet evocative documentary, which engages us.
Given the political nature of the subject and the absence of a social resolution to co-existence, the film weaves a balanced path between dramatic nostalgia and socio-political re-assessment. The images are not always crisp and clear, but the message is from the heart. And as a bonus, we get glimpses of the original mini series, which serve to highlight what a powerful achievement that was in every sense. It was the first time Aboriginal history was presented in a mass medium to Australians.
This film reminds us of that giant step, but it also helps put it into context, adding a new layer of meaning and lasting value to the original milestone - and to this always fascinating and sometimes moving memoir, told with all the benefits of hindsight.

An Analysis – The "Do"s and "Don't"s of Theater Etiquette
July 16th, 2012 | POSTED BY Cassidy Robinson
Like most people, I tend to see movies more in the summertime. Not only because that's when the majority of the most anticipated movies are released by the studios, but also because that's when I have more time for extracurricular outings in general. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case with everyone else, too. And the thing about everyone else is…well, they suck. Nowadays it's a roll of the dice as to what kind of an audience you are going to have with you in a theater. Sometimes you end up with a disaster of texters, talkers and—worst of all—children. Other times, you can have a nice quiet screening with only a handful of old people and maybe some bored teenagers who know how to behave. I used to know how to predict these crowds and know what times of the day to avoid, but more and more this is becoming harder to calculate.
Just last year, I went to a midnight showing of Midnight in Paris at a dollar theater. As was predicted for a low budget Woody Allen comedy, late in its theater run and very late at night, there were not too many people watching with me. But what the crowd lacked in abundant attendance it made up for in audience mischievousness. There was me and three twenty-something bro-dudes who must have had no idea what kind of movie they were at. Perhaps because the film starred Owen Wilson they thought it would be something like the crass and bawdy styles of Wedding Crashers or Hall Pass. One of them had his flip phone open the entire time, while the other two were laughing at something that was definitely not happening on screen.
In an equally puzzling turn of events, last year I attended the midnight release of Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1—not as a fan, per se, as I had never even seen any of the other movies, but rather to scientifically observe the social phenomena of Twilight fandom and the crazed screaming teenage pandemonium that it entails. "Bring on the Twihards!" I said. I wanted to see it all for what it was. What I got instead was what must have been the most tepid and docile Twilight premiere ever experienced on the planet of Earth. These tweens didn't even cheer when the house lights dimmed and the opening credits started to roll. Could my auditorium have been full of Twi-curious Jane Goodall types like myself?
So yes, with this article I am going to add my strained voice to the glut of noise made by those who can't take it anymore. This is yet another list of "what not to do" at the theater. Call this venting if you wish.
Talking:
This is the timeless classic of theater misbehavior. It never gets old, it never goes out of style, and it seems to only grow in popularity with every new generation. Some might ask how much talking is too much talking. How is it appropriate to respond to a movie when sharing the experience at the cineplex?
Last year around Christmas, I watched David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo with some friends. Behind us sat a talker, and the worst kind of talker. She was a "responder." She seemed to be having a personal conversation with the movie as it was going. There were the usual "oh my God"s and "don't do that"s, as well as interjecting her predictions of the plot as it unfolded. "The cat's gonna die," she said, just before Daniel Craig's character opened the screen door to reveal the horror that has now been stifled due of the unnecessary play-by-play commentary track behind us. Though we had shushed her throughout, at this point we all turned and shushed in unison, at which point she had the audacity to exclaim "What? That time it was relevant!" No, it wasn't, and talking never is.
Here is a good code to live by when it comes to talking during a projected movie with strangers: if you are making words, you are talking too much. You are allowed to gasp or squee if something is scary; you are allowed to laugh if something is funny; and I can even make an exception for exclamations of joy during the big actiony bits, as long as it's during a louder scene. But unless you are at a midnight screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, nobody wants to hear you talk. Don't talk to your friends, don't talk to the movie, and most of all do not talk on your phone. Which brings to mind…

Hello everyone and welcome to RV Safety Tips and Tricks, a place where I hope to share ideas about RV safety, RV stuff, to help make our RV experience better with less hassle.
Another hope is that this website will be a place where seasoned RV'ers can, perhaps, share their ideas and tips and where beginners can get helpful suggestions that will make their camping experience more memorable.
My name is Wayne and, along with my awesome wife, Sheilagh, (who took the picture), we have been camping together, with our pets Peanut, (gone to doggy heaven) and Jersey, (on the left), for about twenty years. Over that period of time, we have camped in a tent, a tent trailer and are now on our third, (and probably the last), travel trailer.
We have also learned about some safety tips, tricks and security issues as well as ways to avoid unnecessary maintenance and repairs, the hard way, some that we wish we had remembered during the orientation and walk through when we bought the trailers.
I'll be honest, some of our issues have come from ignorance, others from carelessness. I'm sure that some of you can relate. We have all had issues, and experiences with our RV's that we would like to forget.
And by "Others" I mean you. You who have been at this for a lot longer than me. I would really like to hear/read your stories about the issues you have faced and how you solved them. We/I would also like to hear about your tips and any advice you can offer all RV'ers out there including me. I want this to be a learning experience for me as well because you're never too old to learn new tricks, right?
I don't know everything but this would also be a great way to get better at doing something we all love to do.
Over the years, we have had to deal with break-ins, thefts, moisture, bumps, and bruises.
We woke up one morning and found our tent trailer had been stolen. We got it back 2 weeks later but all our stuff including a propane tank, battery, and an outdoor stove, was gone. Through that ordeal, we learned some important things about security for our RV.
Our first travel trailer was broken into. (I guess we hadn't learned enough about security) We figure it was a homeless person because all they took was a sleeping bag and, I think, a blanket. They pried open the door and broke the molding around the bedroom ceiling vent, (no idea what they were looking for there). We learned more stuff about security through this experience.
The first time we took out our second new trailer I clipped the side of a lamp standard and left a pretty good kink in the edge of the front side phylon/wall. More lessons learned.
That winter we didn't take the proper precautions and the following spring we discovered that we had moisture issues with our upper cabinet doors and countertop edges. There have been other issues as well, all part of a learning process. Like I said, never too old to learn new tricks.
The purpose of this site is to pass along safety tips and tricks that we have learned and picked up from various sources and pass them on to you who are just getting started and perhaps even some who are more seasoned than us. In doing this I hope to be able to help beginners, and experienced alike, to have better ways to create adventures and make memories with family and friends, (and pets).
I would also like this site to be a place that people can find links to places and products that would make their RV experience more enjoyable and less stressful. And, if you need help, want to talk, offer your own advice or encouragement, (even it's its about something you read on the website), there will be a place for comments and I would love to chat with you and learn from you.
When they happen, I/we will share our troubles, triumphs, and travels with you as well.

Q: Definition of Category and internal category in coq I have a two-part question.
Goal: I want to define the notion of a category internal to a given category.

*

*I came up with the following simple code, that however produces an inexplicable error message, namely:

File "./Category.v", line 5, characters 4-5:
Syntax error: '}' expected after [record_fields] (in [constructor_list_or_record_decl]).

Record Category :=
{   Ob : Type;
    Hom : Ob -> Ob -> Type;
    _o_ : forall {a b c}, Hom b c -> Hom a b -> Hom a c;
    1 : forall {x}, Hom x x;
    Assoc : forall a b c d (f : Hom c d) (g : Hom b c) (h : Hom a b),
    f o (g o h) = (f o g) o h;
    LeftId : forall a b (f : Hom a b), 1 o f = f;
    RightId : forall a b (f : Hom a b), f o 1 = f;
    Truncated : forall a b (f g : Hom a b) (p q : f = g), p = q }.

*How to "internalize" this definition? Specifically, I want to define a category internal to the above specified type Category. This means a type "internal category" such that the objects are categories, i.e. belong to the above type Category and the arrows are morphisms of the type Category. All of this assuming the relevant pullbacks exist. If this is not clear, please refer to https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/internal+category
My guess is that the best way to pull this off is to define the internal category as a Module inheriting from the above specified type Category. The aim is to ultimately get a hierarchy of structures internal to an "ambient category". So I ultimately want to go beyond just defining a category internal to another category, but other structures as well. Any pointers are appreciated.

A: You are not using Agda, so _o_ does not define an infix notation. Also, you cannot have a filed named 1 either. Again, you would have to rely on the notation system.
The following is accepted.
Record Category := {
  Ob : Type ;
  Hom : Ob -> Ob -> Type ;
  comp : forall {a b c}, Hom b c -> Hom a b -> Hom a c ;
  id : forall {x}, Hom x x ;
  Assoc :
    forall a b c d (f : Hom c d) (g : Hom b c) (h : Hom a b),
      comp f (comp g h) = comp (comp f g) h ;
  LeftId : forall a b (f : Hom a b), comp id f = f ;
  RightId : forall a b (f : Hom a b), comp f id = f ;
  Truncated : forall a b (f g : Hom a b) (p q : f = g), p = q
}.

Then you can use notations for composition and the unit:
Arguments comp {_ _ _ _} _ _.
Notation "f ∘ g" := (comp f g) (at level 20).

Arguments id {_ _}.
Notation "1" := (id).

Check Assoc.
(* Assoc
     : forall (c : Category) (a b c0 d : Ob c) (f : Hom c c0 d)
         (g : Hom c b c0) (h : Hom c a b), f ∘ (g ∘ h) = (f ∘ g) ∘ h *)

Check LeftId.
(* LeftId
     : forall (c : Category) (a b : Ob c) (f : Hom c a b), 1 ∘ f = f *)

A: Since Théo already provided a great answer to your first question, I'll focus on the second one. In principle, you can define the concept of internal category simply by translating the textbook definition in Coq.  We would begin by defining what it means for something to be a pullback:
Record is_pullback {C : Category}
  {X Y Z : Ob C} (f : Hom C X Z) (g : Hom C Y Z) (P : Ob C) := {
  proj1 : Hom C P X;
  proj2 : Hom C P Y;
  pair : forall W (a : Hom C W X) (b : Hom C W Y),
    f \o a = g \o b -> Hom C W P;
  (* ... plus axioms saying that pairing and projections are
     inverses of each other *)
}.

Then, we would define a category with pullbacks as a category with a choice of pullbacks:
Record PBCategory := {
  Cat :> Category;
  pb : forall X Y Z (f : Hom C X Z) (g : Hom C Y Z), Ob Cat;
  pb_is_pb : forall X Y Z f g, is_pullback f g (pb X Y Z f g);
}.

(The :> is a coercion declaration. It tells Coq that every category with pullbacks can be coerced into a category via Cat.)
Finally, we would write down the definition of an internal category:
Record IntCategory (C : PBCategory) := {
  ArrOb : Ob C;
  ObOb  : Ob C;
  source : Hom C ArrOb ObOb;
  dest : Hom C ArrOb ObOb;
  comp : Hom C (pb _ _ _ _ source dest) ArrOb;
  (* + axioms *)
}.

At this point, however, I believe that we would hit a wall. Writing down the axioms for an internal category in diagrammatic language is too cumbersome. For instance, when phrasing the associativity axiom, we would have to explicitly reason about the isomorphism
(ArrOb x_ObOb ArrOb) x_ObOb ArrOb ~ ArrOb x_ObOb (ArrOb x_ObOb ArrOb)

which is almost always ignored in a textbook presentation. Alas, it is not possible to define an internal category as a particular instance or extension of your Category type.
It might be possible to circumvent this issue by working with indexed categories instead of an internal category, since every internal category gives rise to an indexed category via the Yoneda embedding. That is, we would formalize what it means for something to be a functor of type C^op -> Cat, and then we could define an internal category as being a representable indexed category. This might simplify the definition, but I am not it would be that much easier to work with...
Edit
Here is a potential encoding, though I don't know if this would suit your application or not: https://x80.org/collacoq/urunebifup.coq.  The idea is to express composition not as an arrow whose domain is a pullback, but rather as an operation on arrows (more-or-less like what you would get with the Yoneda embedding).
