It is no secret that beets are one of my favorite root veggies. This dip is perfect because I can eat a small dose at a time. It is great with carrot slices, or even straight off the spoon.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Arrange the beets in a baking dish and coat with the coconut oil. Bake for 1 hour or until tender, stirring every 20 minutes.
Let the beets cool for 10 minutes and then place them in a blender or food processor with the olive oil, water, apple-cider vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Blend until a thick paste forms, if it is too thick add more olive oil one tablespoon at a time. Serve on fresh vegetable slices.
I tried this tonight and it's very yummy! Perfect with carrot sticks for a snack. It made a fair amount, how long do you think it would last in the fridge?
I can't believe how amazing this dip is. The dip was still slightly warm after I blended it and it tasted like HEAVEN. I ate it on some jicama slices.
Aren't you cookiny the coconut oil a fairly high temperature considering it smokes at 350 degrees?
Ron, it is fine if you are using refined coconut oil.
I just ate a ridiculous amount of this for lunch. OMGoodness. The best way I've ever eaten beets! Love your blog and your success. I'm an NTC and its very inspiring. Blessings!
No, but I bet it would be wonderful, and beautiful!
This is DELICIOUS!!!! Thank you!
Happy you liked it Jamie!
Thanks for a delicious recipe! Had it with vege sticks last night, and my sautéed veges & chicken this morning 🙂 Do you think it would be ok frozen?
Yes, this recipe freezes just fine!
This is wonderful as a tomato sauce replacement on meatloaf. This is now one of my go to sauces for meats, especially lamb.
Happy you are enjoying it Tracy!
Hmmm..what if we mix gold and red beets?
I think that sounds like a great idea! It will be pretty, too!
Read this recipe and thought I'd give it a try, I only had a can of beets rinsed them off, made it. Omg this is such an awesome recipe, next time I am going to use fresh beets, thanks.
Happy it worked out for you, Lori!
So glad you asked the question! I was just going to ask if it would taste ok with precooked beets. I have a box of packaged beets my husband brought home from Costco and now I know what I'll do with some of them.

The cycling season "begins" for many this weekend with the cobbled classics and Omloop Het Nieuwsblad returning this Saturday. Last year's edition of the race saw quite a tactical battle in the closing 30 kms of the day with a pretty strong head wind. Despite a strong group getting away and looking as if they were going to fight out for the win, the co-operation within the move completely fell apart within the last 3 kms of the day. Valgren timed his attack perfectly and with team-mates in the group behind to quickly halt any chase, the Dane managed to ride away and take the win.
Wisniowski and Vanmarcke also escaped the group, just holding off the charging peloton to round off the day.
Will we see something similar happening this year? First, let's take a look at what is in store for the riders.
A tad over 200 kms of twisty Belgian roads: sounds fun!
Although there are several cobbled sections in the opening half of the race, it won't be until the Wolvenberg at around 60 kms to go that the riders will start to consider their options for the day. However, as we've seen in previous years at various cobbled classics, it is feasible for the race winning attack/move to be made from any point onwards.
Comparing the route to last year, it seems as if the organisers have wanted to make it a little more intense from roughly 40 km out with a quick succession of climbs and cobbled sections. This is one of the key sections of road throughout the whole day.
Although none of the rises are incredibly long, it is the constant up and down nature of that section, combined with the always twisting and turning roads that will see the peloton fully stretched out. The strongest riders can really put those suffering into difficulty here.
Next on the agenda is roughly 8 kms of mostly flat (there's no such thing as an actual flat road around here) through the towns of Sint-Martens-Lierde and Deftinge before they reach the famous Geraardsbergen.
Two steep and tough climbs that need to introduction or explanation, the Muur and Bosberg offer a final chance for a selection to be made. With a shade over 12 km from the crest of the Bosberg to the finish line, will those ahead be able to stay away, or will we see some kind of regrouping?
As is often the case for cobbled classic races, one of the important factors which can help to determine the outcome of the day is the wind.
As I mentioned earlier, a strong headwind in 2018 caused some more "negative" racing because no one really wanted to commit too early in fear of blowing up. That led to the tactical and exciting finale we had so it wasn't all too bad I suppose!
However, tomorrow we're due to have pretty consistent winds coming mostly from the West throughout the day. This of course means that some of the course will be into a headwind, due to the nature of the parcours, but most importantly those final 40 km won't be.
As you can see, most of it will either be tail or cross wind, dependent on their location throughout the final hour of racing. This should make for some fast and exciting action!
I expect it to be full gas from just after the Wolvenburg (60 km left) but the first major moves to be made at 40 km to go marker and the aforementioned quartet of cobbles/climbs. Given the mostly tailwind run to the line, teams and big favourites won't be as afraid to attack from far tomorrow. Those with numerous options to play such as Deceuninck Quick Step and Jumbo Visma will most likely adopt the approach of attacking rather than pacing the front of the peloton in the final hour.
There are two big danger men in the race that I think will make sure the day won't come down to a sprint of 10+ riders: Trentin and Matthews.
Trentin has had a superb start to the year, already taking three wins to his name. He comes here as Mitchelton's number one card with Durbridge playing second fiddle. The Italian has been climbing like a dream in this opening month of racing so he'll cope perfectly well with the rises that we have here. Everyone will be well aware of just how well he is going and as one of the fastest riders on the start list, it would simply be stupid to bring him to the line. I'm not even sure the likes of Van Avermaet would be happy arriving for a small group sprint against him.
Conversely, this is Matthews first race of the season but that shouldn't be a negative for the Sunweb rider as he always begins his year in great form anyway. Not many have talked about his chances in the press but in Lotto Soudal's preview Wellens was quick to point out the Aussie as a real threat. I was going to say he had a poor 2018 but he ended up with 4 wins and all of them at World Tour level so it wasn't exactly a disaster! It's almost a case of "what could have been" given that he had to withdraw from several races due to illness or injury. He's a rider that I rate very highly and I expect him to be in the mix tomorrow. Like Trentin, it would be unwise for anyone to bring him to the line.
I could list about 15 riders here if I desperately wanted to but that's not my style, so I'm just going with three. No apologies.
If you've followed the blog for a while then you'll know I'm a massive Yves fan and it's been good to see him make steady progress in the past few years. Last season he managed to retain his Dwars door Vlaanderen title before going on to claim the Belgian championships later in the season. So far in 2019 he's put in some pretty solid training at races both in Provence and Algarve with a focus of building that form for the cobbles. Once touted as a Boonen/Museeuw hybrid, it is understandable that he has not lived up to that lofty billing but now coming into the strongest years of his career, I certainly think he will start to pick up some more individual results. Stybar and Gilbert are probably the two main leaders for DQS but Lampaert will no doubt be given a free role as he looks to step up and replace the Terpstra shaped hole that is left in their classics team, with Senechal replacing 2017/18 Lampaert. As I mentioned earlier, having numbers near the head of the race will be important and DQS should have exactly that. I think we'll see Lamapert as one of the early attackers for them and if he can get away in the right group with the right teams represented, that could be it for the day. Packing a pretty decent sprint from a very small group he is certainly one to watch.
A rider who always starts his year in barnstorming form, 2019 seems to be no different for Wellens. With consistent results in the opening Trofeo's, including a win, the Lotto Soudal man went on to pick up two stage wins in Andalucia before a 9th placed finish on GC. Not a bad result for someone who had to skip Besseges due to illness. An all round brute of a rider, it amazed me that Wellens hadn't dabbled with the cobbled one-day races before Omloop last year because the parcours definitely suits him in my opinion – I could see him go very well in Flanders for example. Last year at this race he burnt too many matches early on, hoping to split the race up but with the headwind conditions it proved too difficult. Tomorrow's race should reward attacking riding more and I'm looking forward to seeing what he and Benoot do as a duo. As a former winner of the BinckBank (formerly Eneco) Tour, Wellens is no stranger to cobbles so it is not like he lacks experience. One of the form riders in this early season, he is one that I wouldn't give a few bike lengths to as you might not get them back.
Talk about teams with options, Jumbo Visma have a squad of riders who could feasibly challenge for a good result here – are they Quick Step in disguise? A lot of the attention from the cycling world will be on van Aert but with van Poppel, Teunissen, Roosen and van der Hoorn it would be unwise to just focus on one of them. Since his win in Schaal Seis back in 2017, I've been intrigued to see what Taco can do. His season last year started very late due to him suffering from lingering effects of concussion. In fact, he only raced from August onwards but managed to pick up 2 wins and 5 other top 10s in 19 days on the road – not bad! He spent a lot of his time in Algarve on the front of the bunch, pacing the peloton for Groenewegen and getting some good miles in the legs. He's possibly a bit further down the pecking order in the Jumbo Visma team than I would think he should be, he's not even mentioned in their race preview, but I certainly wouldn't discount him. If anything van der Hoorn is the stereotypical rider that I like to go for on here: a complete wildcard that not many people know of but he'll probably turn good in a year or two!
Plenty of form riders are here and I'm looking forward to some aggressive racing. I'll go with Tim Wellens to power away from everyone over the Muur and stay away to the end of the day.
Quick shout out to my affiliates over at Zweeler who are starting up their Fantasy Spring CyClassics Game which offers a prize pool of 8000 Euro with first place guaranteed 1400 Euro and the top 160 people guaranteed to at least make their entry fee back.
Pick 20 riders from a budget of 230 million to score you points over the coming weeks with the game active from Omloop through to Liege. Choose wisely though as there is are no transfers available!
Sign up for each team is 10 Euro.
Think you've got what it takes to take home first place? Sign up here to find out.
If you do it helps me out a little and I'll be forever grateful!
Well that certainly lived up to my expectations!
Once we managed to get TV coverage, the race had already been splintered over the first Cat-1 climb of the race with only a 50 rider peloton left at the front. On the penultimate, short and not overly difficult climb, we saw several attacks from Astana and Mitchelton riders, hoping to soften up the current race leader. That certainly worked as once the head of the race crossed the bridge and began the climb of Hazallanas, there were only about 10 riders in the front group.
With a perfectly timed attack and thanks to not being a threat for the overall title, Simon Yates managed to get a gap and increase it all the way to the summit. Given the mainly downhill run to the line, he was never going to be caught from behind and he had enough time to sit up and celebrate his first win of the year.
Youngster Higuita won the sprint from behind to take second place on the day with Kruijswijk rounding out the podium spots. The result sees Fuglsang take over the race lead and given the parcours tomorrow, it should now be his for the rest of the race. Let's have a look at what is in store for the riders anyway.
A day with over 2000m of climbing, the majority of that comes in the opening half.
A slight drag from the flag leads the riders onto a shallow descent before three back-to-back Cat-3 climbs. Although none of them are particularly difficult, they do provide a good opportunity for a strong breakaway to get clear.
From there it continues to roll somewhat, but they mainly head downhill after the 80 km mark, albeit there are several short rises there too. The last categorised climb of the day crests with 30 km left and is another Cat-3, but this one is not like the other 4 Cat-3s that we have.
At an average of 10.4% for the 2.1 kms, this is a brutally steep climb and will see some riders in the peloton really struggle. In fact, there are prolonged sections of the ascent that are just above 13%! It's nice to see it given the classic Spanish categorisation – some things don't change with a new year.
A short but fast descent then leads them onto the final 25 kms of the day, most of which are flat. However, the last 2 km do rise up at an average of 2%, with the last 300m apparently being roughly 5%.
It also seems to be a "count by roundabouts" kind of day, with 6 in the closing 3 kms. Some of them aren't overly difficult to traverse with riders managing to take them almost straight on, but there are a couple which will stretch things out and force the riders to slow down a little.
If we do end up with some kind of bunch sprint, expect it to be pretty hectic.
Who wants to hold it together for a sprint? I can only really see Mitchelton (Trentin) and Jumbo Visma (Van Poppel) committing their resources to try to bring things back for a sprint. With the former team already having two wins under their belt this week, they might just take things a little easier tomorrow although conversely, with no chance at the overall GC win then they might just use everyone up to help Trentin.
I don't think they'll do that and instead it will be a day for a strong breakaway to get up the road and fight out for the stage win. So it brings me great pleasure that we can play everyone's favourite cycling based lottery for the first time this year!
As always, it is a pretty difficult task trying to pick potential riders who will make the break but I'll try my best!
Movistar haven't got anything out of this race so far which normally doesn't happen for them in Spain. Without any GC leader they've been without any real chance of doing that but tomorrow presents an opprtunity for them to go on the attack. Roelandts has been building his form with one eye on the classics and he'll like the look of the rolling opening to the stage. In the Trofeo's at the start of the season he was in good climbing shape there and will hope to carry that in to tomorrow's stage.
If there is a sizeable break getting away, I would be very surprised to see Androni not present. Cattaneo or Montaguti seem to be their best riders at the moment but even then they are still far enough down on GC not to be a big threat. Tomorrow's parcours is like a rolling Italian one-day race and one that suits Cattaneo well. He was going strongly in Argentina but it has obviously taken him a little time to re-find those legs over in Europe. Will that be tomorrow?
A bit of a journeyman, Madrazo has raced for a quite a few outfits throughout his career. Ever an attacking rider, it is surprising to not have seen him up the road so far already in this race. Burgos will want to be represented in the break and Madrazo could be a good candidate for the win given his punchy nature.
Heading into the day in the top 10 on GC, the Slovenian was hoping to hold on for as long possible but a double puncture before the penultimate climb of the day saw all hopes dashed of a good GC placing. Now sitting over 7 minutes down, he should have enough freedom to go on the attack and knowing his nature, I think he might just do that. If he makes the break, everyone will have him as the big danger so it could be hard for him to win but he'll just try to let his legs do the talking.
Someone that takes bad luck in his stride, I think Mohoric will bounce back tomorrow with the stage win.
The current race leader clearly has benefited from those extra hours on the TT bike this winter as he blasted his way around the course: taking the win and extending his race lead. Fuglsang was a bit of a surprise as the first Astana rider home with pre-stage favourite Izagirre only managing third place at the end of the day.
Taking a leaf out of the Grand Tours books, the organisers have decided on a short but sharp stage tomorrow with the riders only facing 119 km from Armilla to Granada.
With over 2500m of altitude gain packed into such a short stage, there are sure to be some GC time gaps come the end of the stage. It will certainly be an intense day in the saddle for everyone. However, with that being said, I can't see any teams try to take it up on the first of the two difficult climbs, instead, they will probably wait until the final ascent of the day.
The closing 40 kms sees the road start to rise up with the gradual second category climb of Alto de Guejar (6.2 km at 5.2%). Not a tricky climb, expect it to be raced at quite a tough pace with a few teams looking to thin things out before they reach the much tougher climb of Alto de Hazallanas.
A brute, the gradients speak for themselves really! The opening 5 kms average roughly 11%, before it "flattens off" down to a measly 6.5% for the remaining part of the climb. It was used as the finish climb of stage 10 at the 2013 so try to watch that on Youtube if you can!
With over 20 km from the summit to the finish, you might think that it would be weird to see teams attack on Hazallanas but given that the majority of it is downhill – then we might just see that.
The downhill itself will be fast, but as you can see on the image above, it is pretty technical in some sections too. Either way, it will be difficult for a chase to form here. Once off the descent there are roughly 5 kms of flat left before the finish line on the outskirts of Granada.
We could see quite a fierce fight to get into the breakaway but with the stage being so short, it will be easier for the GC teams to control any early attacks. As I said, I don't think we'll see any major action until the penultimate climb of the day where Mitchelton and Astana will come to the front of the bunch and start to turn the screw. Both of those have squads capable of tearing things apart on Hazallanas and leaving only a select group of riders out the front of the race.
From that point, it is a case of does anyone attack and try to go solo over the top of the climb, or will it be a smaller group that gets away and fights it out to the finish?
The stage reminds me a lot of the opening day of racing we had at this race back in 2017. With the peloton whittled down on the last climb of the day, a select group of riders neared the summit together, with Valverde and Contador attacking and managing to get a gap. The former actually went on to drop Contador in the first few hundred metres of the descent and he kept plying on. Things would eventually regroup though, with 6 at the head of the race coming into the closing kilometres. There were a few attacks but things were closed down and we got a very reduced sprint from GC favourites coming to the line.
I think something like that will happen tomorrow, but it possibly might be even more selective due to the tougher final climb and it being the final day where we can see a GC shake-up.
The key to the stage is when and where Astana are going to attack.
With Fuglsang (+7), Izagirre (+14) and Bilbao (+28) all within half a minute of current leader Wellens, they have the options to make the race difficult for the Lotto rider. I expect the Belgian to be isolated on the final climb and despite how well he is clearly going at the moment, it is difficult to see him following the very best climbers on an ascent like this given its gradients. However, he does seem to be the form rider so who knows.
After LLS drilling it at the front, I think we might see one of the trio put in a relatively early dig on Alto de Hazallanas, forcing Wellens and the other rider in the top 10 to chase. This is where it then becomes an important time of the stage for Mitchelton because they clearly have the climbing talent to keep things in check if need be, in an attempt to give Haig a shot at the GC win. However, having messed up the opening day and with Adam Yates the other Mitchelton rider in contention, but over a minute down, all anyone else has to do is to follow Haig. If Yates was somewhat closer and on a similar time to Bilbao, that could be a really dangerous duo to attack and force others to think. Consequently, I think Mitchelton will have to decide in the morning if they try to go just solely for the stage win and race aggressively, or try to ride for a top 3 on GC with Haig – because I just can't see the Aussie winning.
I would be very surprised if an Astana rider doesn't win the stage tomorrow because they should have 3 of the last 7 riders on the climb. As I've said above, it is all about timing the attack and hoping the right rider gets away.
If someone from Astana does get away over the top, then the other two will just sit on the chasing group behind and counter attack if things get brought back as I don't expect them all to sit there and just ride tempo to the line in a group of 8 or something. Unless of course Wellens has been well dropped, then they would do that to secure the GC win.
As he is the smallest threat for the overall, it is arguably easiest for Bilbao to escape as he won't be instantly marked like Fuglsang or Izagirre. It is a day of many variables though because as I've said just above, if Wellens is dropped by quite a distance, the trio of Astana riders could just ride tempo to ensure a Fuglsang overall victory.
However, I'll go for Pello to go in his "Bilbao Baggins" style adventure and take the stage win!
A really quiet stage until all chaos ensued after 7 kms to go when a crash at the front of the bunch wiped out around 80% of the peloton. With the sprint teams already pretty much in full flight, there was only a brief hiatus before things continued full gas as you would expect. Despite the smaller group, things were held together for the sprint with Jakobsen taking his first win of the season in his first race – a truly dominant effort to the line from him.
Démare trailed him home in second with Ackermann in third.
With some riders crashing, while other just lost some time, it will be interesting to see how they have recovered and approach the traditional stage tomorrow. Let's have a look at what is in store for them.
Quite a tough day out in the saddle for the riders, especially this early in the season, with over 3000m of climbing to be tackled.
As you can see on the profile, there are numerous short climbs back-to-back once the riders pass roughly 60 km to go. These will no doubt be used to sap the legs of those struggling in the peloton but I would be very surprised if a team takes it up early enough to do a lot of damage – especially with the rolling plateau (oxymoron, I know) from 151 km to 168 km.
It is an interestingly placed intermediate sprint point in Marmelete and I wonder if we'll see any of the GC contenders try to nab a bonus second or two. A quick descent into the valley below leads them onto the false-flat rise before the climb of Alto da Foia begins properly.
A fairly consistent climb, it is not a finish where we often see large time gaps, with the majority of the time the top 10 arriving within 20 seconds of each other. However, that was thrown out the window in 2017 when Quick Step decided to tear the race bits before Foia and consequently 10th placed Benoot came home three-quarters of a minute down.
Expect a fast ascent time tomorrow with a strong wind coming from the south-east.
The teams will have to be wary throughout the day though as they travel mainly from the east to west, so there are potential for splits due to cross winds. Will anyone try to split it?
A strong start to the season saw Poels finish second on Willunga Hill and consequently took home 3rd on GC Down Under. Sky arrive with a very solid squad to support him on the climb and we'll no doubt see them engage their now traditional mountain train. It will be interesting to see how they approach it as De La Cruz, Geoghegan Hart and possibly even Dunbar have the credentials to challenge on a finish like this. Will they try to attack to split things up? Poels has an under rated sprint for a GC rider so he'll be happy for things to be held together and a reduced gallop to the line.
Part of the Quick Step team that absolutely destroyed the bunch back in 2017, Mas took a big step up in personal performances last year with his second in the Vuelta obviously being the stand-out. With a lot of the team geared towards the two sprints, Mas will most likely have to fly solo although he'll hope to get some assistance from Stybar quite far up the climb. He'd probably prefer a punchier and steeper finish but given his talent, he can't be discounted.
Another who avoided the crash today, it puts him in a great position for a strong overall result. It's hard to know where his form is at given this is his first race of the season but he should be there or thereabouts. A rider that I rate highly, he should start to get some of his own personal results soon after learning the ropes behind a loyal worker for Dumoulin in the GTs. He does only have two wins to his name, both coming in the Tour de l'Ain back in 2016, but tomorrow does offer him an opportunity. An attacking rider, I'm keen to see what he can do.
The highly talented young Slovenian impressed in his opening WT debut down under and he'll like the look of a climb he can properly get his teeth into tomorrow. Before the race the honours for leadership would probably have been shared between Aru and himself, but with the Italian held up today, UAE will turn to Pogacar for the overall. Possibly still a bit of an unknown to his contenders, he might be able to use that anonymity and slip away on the final climb and use the tailwind to his advantage.
Held up after the crash today, his focus will now turn to stage wins. He's only ever won two bike races in his life but both of them have been at Portugal and one of them in this race. Quite an attacking rider when he wants to be, I'm expecting to see him give it a bit of a nudge in anger tomorrow. Will he be allowed some freedom?
The teams of Sky, Deceuninck and Sunweb to control things in hoping to set up their leader and I'll go for Poels to get his first win of the year.
He normally starts his season well and without the obstacle of Porte here this is a good chance for him.
At over 2000m of climbing throughout the stage and with a profile that can be best described as "rolling", it's not exactly going to be an easy sprint stage.
However, with the majority of the bigger climbs coming in the opening half, a sprint is what we should get. So the stage will come down to the final 5kms and how the teams approach it.
The major "obstacle" in those closing 5 kms is a 600m rise that averages 4.4% so it shouldn't be enough to drop any sprinters given how fast the peloton will travel over it. However, with it cresting at just over 2 kms to go, you don't really want to be out of position here given that the next kilometre is almost all downhill and it will be hard to make up some ground.
At roughly 1.2km to go the riders come to their first roundabout when entering Lagos, with them being forced to take the long way around the right side of it and exiting on the left. The turn at the bottom of the roundabout is quite tight so this will slow the bunch down a little and stretch things out.
They face another roundabout with around 800m to go but it is pretty straight forward and shouldn't see any issues. After that, it is a straight drag race to the line for the final 750m so I expect things could be quite chaotic as that gives some teams enough time to try a hail mary, last-minute lead-out.
Another to note is that it is expected to get reasonably windy later on in the day, with roughly 18-20km/h winds coming in from the coast. With the direction it is forecast, the riders will more than likely have a head wind for the finish – so timing of the sprint is even more crucial.
We have quite the sprint field here!
Fresh off of a narrow stage win in Valenciana, the Dutchman will want to prove why he is one of the best sprinters in the world. His 2018 was superb but no doubt he'd like to do even better and with a team that is built around him for this race, he'll be hopeful of picking up another win or two throughout the week. Roosen and Teunissen are a powerful last two men to have in front of him but without the likes of Tony Martin, Jumbo Visma will probably revert back to type from 2018 and try to ambush the closing kilometre. As stated above though, it is quite difficult to improve your position coming off the descent and into the roundabouts but if there is one team who I think can bring their sprinter forward in the closing 500m it is Jumbo. Groenewegen starts as the favourite for me.
After a little warm-up in Murcia, Ackermann was quick to take his first win in Almeria on Sunday – where he just managed to edge out a fast finishing Marcel Kittel. I'm more than willing to dub the Bora man as the breakthrough sprinter in 2018, after he managed to pick up 9 pro wins. Not a bad tally considering he had none before the start of the year. Another rider with a team dedicated to him; there is an awful lot of horsepower in that Bora squad. If there is a team capable of drilling it up that incline and keeping things stretched out all the way to the finish then I think they could manage it. Does Ackermann have the top end speed to see off the competition here though?
The Frenchman is starting his season off here so it is difficult to know where his form will be. Looking at previous year's results though, he seems to be there or thereabouts in the opening races so he should be trying to fight for the win tomorrow. However, with a lot of his contenders having already had a few races under their belt, then I think he'll be a little off the pace.
Another rider beginning his 2019 in Portugal, Jakobsen was by far the most successful neo-pro in terms of wins last year with 7 to his name. As per usual, Quick Step have started the year in flying form so despite this being his first race, I would expect Jakobsen to be ready. He has a strong lead-out to help him here, with Lampaert and Senechal able to provide a lot of top end speed come the end of the stage. Can he get his team their 9th win of the year already?
The impressive Frenchman has started his year will with 2 stage wins and the GC title in Besseges – a race he completely dominated. Known more as a good climbing sprinter, you would be foolish to just class him as one of those though as he has a deceptively good kick on a flat run in. With there being the slight rise not too far from the finish tomorrow, I think that should help him be well positioned going into the final couple of kilometres, but can he finish it off?
It was nice to see Degenkolb get a win in Provence last week: maybe something to do with good karma after his fundraising campaign to save the junior Paris Roubaix? Trek have a team full of sprinting talent but I imagine they will all be on lead-out duty for Degenkolb, with Theuns possibly last man. They haven't worked together as a unit before though so the few sprint stages could be more of a learning process than anything else. As the main classics group for Trek, it is important that they get on well and work together here. Despite how strong Degenkolb looked in Provence, I just can't see him getting a win tomorrow.
Will UAE work for him or Consonni? In more of a pure sprint like this I would say that it is the Belgian who is faster and we've already seen glimpses of that at the Tour Down Under where he took his stage win. Consonni obviously did some great lead-outs for Gaviria over in San Juan so he will hope to continue that here but he is a more than able replacement if going for the sprint himself. Although put it this way, I could see Philipsen sneaking a win against this field tomorrow but not Consonni.
Others to look out for who might nab a top 10 spot include Debuscherre, Dupont and Boasson Hagen.
I feel like a little bit of an upset so I'll go for Christophe Laporte to keep piling the pressure on Bouhanni by taking a surprise win here.
Odds are up with Betway but I don't really fancy anything there.

Mobile firm MentorMate acquired by Taylor Corp.
MentorMate, a Minneapolis company that says it has had explosive growth through mobile technology, has been acquired by Mankato-based Taylor Corp. Terms of the cash deal were not disclosed.
Bjorn Stansvik, 40, who founded the firm in 2001, said the company has grown from $1 million to $12 million in revenue over the last several years thanks to a combination of good software and the rapid growth since 2009 of mobile-device communications.
"For a long time we weren't growing that fast, but we retooled the company around software development and … serving key clients and by 2009, mobile became the big thing and it gave us a certain credibility," Stansvik said in an interview Wednesday. "We had [key customers] who took a chance on us. "We executed and stayed humble. Taylor Corp is transforming its business from print to web and mobile, and they felt we could accelerate the movement. They have 275 of the Fortune 500 companies as clients and thousands of small-to-medium-sized clients.
"We're excited to be a change agent for them."
Stansvik said he and his management team will remain with Taylor Corp. and work across the company.
Stansvik said he owned the company with about 30 key employees who were given stock over the years.
Taylor Corp. said in a statement: "As an award-winning mobile and web strategy, design and development firm, MentorMate will bring transformational technology to our companies. Their proven success in delivering simple, beautiful and meaningful mobile and web solutions to small and large businesses will play a key role in helping our customers communicate."
MentorMate has more than 200 employees in five offices in the U.S. and Europe.

It's a good time to be alive for pixel peepers. TV makers are pushing 4K-resolution sets to replace our present 1080p screens; Apple's iMacs sport a 5K resolution; and NHK, Japan's national broadcaster, is testing 8K broadcasting equipment, targeting 2020 and the Tokyo Olympics for its introduction.
To help wireless devices cope with the higher speeds demanded by such applications, Fujitsu has developed a 300-GHz prototype receiver compact enough to fit into a cellphone. Though limited to about 1 meter in range, the company says the device can download 4K and 8K video almost instantly.
Today's cellphones operate in frequency ranges between 0.8 to 2.5-GHz, and are capable of download speeds of around 230 megabits per second, while the top speed for 802.11n Wi-Fi operating in the same frequency range can reach speeds as high as 600 Mb/s. Fujitsu touts its new receiver as operating in the terahertz band—frequencies of over 300 GHz—where terminals can communicate at speeds hundreds of times faster than today's mobile handsets.
Devices to enable such high speeds have been developed, but because terahertz-band waves quickly attenuate, receiver-amplifier chips need to be sensitive enough to deal with a weak signal. Present designs rely on a separate antenna, which in turn requires a waveguide component to transport the incoming signal from the antenna to the chip. This makes the overall combination far too bulky for cellphone use, says Fujitsu.
The goal, then, is to create a receiver-amplifier module with a built-in antenna to increase miniaturization. This has been achieved for devices employed in millimeter wave-band equipment operating at 60-GHz to 80-GHz frequencies, for instance, and used in applications such as collision-avoidance radar. These modules connect the antenna to the receiver-amplifier chip through an internal printed-circuit substrate making a waveguide unnecessary.
To get round this, Fujitsu has micro-fabricated a printed-circuit substrate using a polyimide (a heat-resistant synthetic polymer) material. Signals from the antenna are transmitted to the receiver-amplifier chip through a connecting circuit on the substrate.
In order to ensure stable signal transmission with low loss, the top and bottom faces of the printed circuit substrate are grounded and connected using through-hole metalized vias. This and the connecting circuit together form a grounded coplanar-waveguide structure: a transmission pathway designed to enhance high frequency signal propagation. To reduce signal interference from the printed circuit substrate, the vias need to be spaced apart less than one-tenth of the signal's wavelength—in this case less than a few tens of micrometers.
Though the polyimide material experiences a signal loss ten-percent greater than quartz, Fujitsu says the material's processing accuracy is more than four times higher than the latter. This makes it possible to space the vias closer together, thereby halving the overall signal loss compared to using a quartz substrate.
To facilitate a strong connection between the antenna connecting-circuit on the printed-circuit substrate and the receiver-amplifier chip, Fujitsu adapted a millimeter-mounting technology to handle terahertz transmission. This method let the receiver-amplifier circuitry directly face the printed circuit substrate.
The outcome is a module with an overall volume of just 0.75 cubic centimeters—not including output terminals—small enough to be incorporated into a mobile phone. Download speeds obtained so far in the lab reached 20 Gb/s.
Fujitsu will begin field-testing by the end of March 2016, and aims to launch the technology in 2020. The application the engineers envision include instant downloading of large volumes of data from servers and terminals, electronic versions of printed guides and brochures used at events, and downloading video and music from kiosks.
Nakasha isn't looking beyond 2020 at the moment, but he believes the technology has the potential to one day achieve speeds of 100 Gb/s.
Part of the research used was obtained from an R&D project on expanding radio spectrum resources commissioned by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications.

Sunderland AFC Transfer News
Jack Ross expects a new face to arrive next week, and gives an update on Josh Maja's situation
Sunderland's transfer window is set to get under way next week manager Jack Ross hopeful of a new arrival on Wearside

Jack Ross hopes to bring a defender on board next week as he seeks to bolster his promotion-chasing Sunderland squad.
The Black Cats boss has made no secret of the fact he wants to add another defender in the January window, and has indicated that a deal is at an advanced stage.
But he does not expect anything to be concluded until after this weekend's trip to Charlton Athletic.
"I'm hopeful we'll manage to get a defensive player in," said Ross, speaking after Sunderland's 1-0 win at Blackpool.
"All being well, I'd hope that will be concluded post the Charlton game.
"There's nothing to say that won't happen, but like everything, it won't be done until it's all registered and put through.
"That would help us because you could see today that we're pretty stretched squad-wise.
"If you include the bench, that was all we had, and that includes young Bali [Mumba] and [Benji] Kimpioka.
"It would be nice to get a bit of reinforcement in."
If a defender does arrive next week, he is likely to technically become the second signing of the transfer window with the club set to confirm this week that Max Power's loan move from Wigan Athletic has - as expected - been converted to a permanent deal.
The clubs were unable to complete a permanent move in the summer before the deadline, and instead agreed a loan move which would be made permanent this month.
Meanwhile Ross says Josh Maja's situation remains unchanged as the Black Cats wait for the 20-year-old to decide whether he will accept a new contract on Wearside.
Maja, whose 15th goal of the season earned all three points at Bloomfield Road, is in the final six months of his current deal and Ross said at the weekend that the club has set a deadline of the end of this week for a decision from the player.
But even if Maja does not sign before that deadline, Ross says he will continue picking the youngster as long as he remains at the club.
Ross said: "I know we've said that a final offer has been made, and there's a time period for whether or not he accepts it, but even if that lapses, nothing really changes from my perspective as a manager.
"I've got a really strong relationship with him as a player, and as long as he remains here and keeps playing like that, I'll keep selecting him and playing him.
"We can't just say we just concentrate on that, because naturally there are other factors going on, but for me as manager and him as a player, all we can do is affect what happens out there on the pitch.
"It wasn't just his goal today – I think his all-round play in the last three games has been really good.
"He's a clever boy. He takes on a lot of the things you ask him to do, and he's getting better and better at them.
"He's an outstanding finisher, as we've seen time after time this season."
Despite the uncertainty over Maja's future, he continues to enjoy the support of the fans with the 7,800-strong travelling army applauding him off when he was substituted late in the game at Blackpool.
"I was pleased supporters recognised his contribution this season," said Ross.
Blackpool vs Sunderland
Things we learned
Ross' reaction
"There is a balance to it [his situation]. He is a human being and has a lot to consider.
"You can become very selfish in football and believe the only thing that matters is the here and now but he is his own person.
"I still maintain I think he will stay at the club but he has other things to weigh up.
"I have no issue with that, every player will be the same.
"As long as every time he plays he produces that sort of performance and goal return then nobody can complain."


Pope Francis declared Friday that there is a "right of the environment" and that mankind has no authority to abuse it, telling more than 100 world leaders and diplomats at the United Nations that urgent action is needed to halt the destruction of God's creation.
Hoping to spur concrete commitments at the upcoming climate change negotiations in Paris, the pope accused the world's powerful countries of indulging a "selfish and boundless thirst" for money by ravaging the planet's natural resources and impoverishing the weak and disadvantaged in the process, AP reported.
He asserted that the poor have inherent rights to education and what he has termed the "three L's" — lodging, labor and land.
His speech, the fifth by a pope to the UN, was a distillation of his recent teaching document on the environment, "Praise Be," which has delighted environmentalists and drawn scorn from big business interests.
By bringing the document to life before the UN, Francis made clear his priorities.
"Any harm done to the environment, therefore, is harm done to humanity," he said.
Speaking in the packed UN General Assembly, Francis stated that "a right of the environment" exists.
The pope was greeted on his arrival at the UN by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, a key supporter of his eco-friendly agenda. In his opening remarks, Ban praised Francis for his moral leadership.
"You are at home not in palaces, but among the poor; not with the famous, but with the forgotten; not in official portraits, but in 'selfies' with young people," he said.

Diamonds Dominique Strauss-Kahn France French politics French press review IMF India Paris
French press review 5 July 2011
By Carla Westerheide Issued on 05-07-2011 Modified 05-07-2011 to 11:11
An Indian temple gets a windfall. Will Dominique Strauss-Kahn be able to run for French president? Boomburbs spring up like mushrooms. Looking for a job? Become a miner - a data-miner, that is.
What would you do if you found 15 billion euros of diamonds and jewellery in your basement?
Indian authorities are asking themselves the same question on the front page of Le Figaro, after they found exactly that in a temple's basement. According to the article, 15 million euros is bigger than the education sector's yearly budget in India.
The local government wants to reinvest the money in the temple where it was found. But for now, the treasure is being guarded by hundreds or armed guards.
Dossier: The Strauss-Kahn affair rocks France, IMF
Also in Le Figaro, a déjà-vu. Will Dominique Strauss-Kahn run for president, or won't he?
According to the article, it's all going come down to these next couple of week:
Will he be cleared of charges in New York?
and what's going to happen with the rape charges here in France?
But, the article says, the number of people who believe in his return is shrinking by the day.
Le Monde published an article called "Mushroom cities are growing in France".
The reason they're called mushroom cities is because they literally just pop up around bigger cities, especially in the greater Paris region. They are also called "Boomburbs," a fusion of the words "boom" and "suburb," and there are currently some 54 of them in France.
These are suburbs that have seen 12.5 per cent growth in the past 20 years, shifting the importance from the city to the outer rings.
Another article in Le Monde that caught my eye is called "rare jobs." The article says that here in France companies are beginning to look for jobs that didn't even exist a few years ago, like experts in "e-reputation," or "data miners".
It says if you want to be sure to have a job in the coming years, read books like Technology for 2015.
The article also says, these qualifications are popping up much faster than universities are setting up new courses. So if you want to become an expert in "e-reputation," you would have to go to training centres or night school, places that are able to adapt much quicker than traditional schools.

When we designed the LeanSteer™ frames for the Segway PT, we opted for durability that added a smart visual appeal. Get right up close and personal with the Anodized Black LeanSteer frame on the i2 or the standard Anodized Black and Silver on the x2 and you'll see that it's not just color; it's a finish.
Our engineers would tell you that the process of anodizing our LeanSteer frames is electrochemical. That translates into a finish that's incredibly durable. Heck, we had to laser etch the Segway logo on there to get it to stay. Take a key to try and scratch it. Go ahead, we dare you. You'll end up doing more damage to the key. So, come to think of it, you may not want to do that.
Anodized options are great for demanding commercial applications such as policing, security, and tours. Since it's standard on the x2, you can rest assured that the occasional brush with branches or dirt won't leave a mark.
If you're not as concerned about durability, consider the i2 in Gloss White or the newly minted Metallic Sage. These are brighter painted versions of the LeanSteer frame that'll lend a shinier look to your daily glide.
The i2 Metallic Sage is an interesting color. Some say it's goldish. Others say it's silvery-green. We'll let you decide for yourself as you enjoy its dynamic appeal in various lighting conditions. The metallic underbody grabs the changing light while the Segway wordmark is presented in an off-white green with a subtle outline above the gray i2 logomark indicated below.
As with other color packages for the i2 model, the i2 in Metallic Sage comes with a color-matched center console trim to complete its visual identity.
It's More Than Color


The Bertone Birusa concept from 2003 was a design for a high performance GT car with innovative features and clean lines.
Based on a BMW Z8 roadster platform, the Birusa was powered by a 400 horsepower V8 running through a six-speed manual gearbox. BMW-esque styling can be seen in some of the details, however with the new and radical 'flame-surfacing' design style seen on all new BMW's the resemblance is not immediately apparent.
The wedge-shaped profile of the Birusa is emphasised by the graphic treatment of the windscreen, whose upper crossbeam is linked to the roof, and thus to the rear window, by a single pencil stroke. The side window is sculpted like a diamond and protrudes from the side like a dihedral of light cut through by an aluminium blade. This solution is both decorative and functional because this element, which is actually an engine bay air outlet, also hides the door release pushbutton. The gull-wing doors of the Birusa concept are made entirely of carbon fibre and hinged just below the windscreen, with electrical power assist.
The interior of the Bertone Birusa has very simple, linear styling, like the exterior. The central tunnel passes between the two seats, linking up to the facia in a 'T', and creating two separate, superimposed elements between the actual facia and the central instrumentation.

Seattle Women's Soccer
Kim Little Nominated For BBC Women's Footballer of the Year Award
She becomes the only player to have been nominated in both years of the award's existence.
By sidereal@sea_soc Apr 25, 2016, 4:02pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Kim Little Nominated For BBC Women's Footballer of the Year Award
For the second consecutive year, the Reign's all-everything attacking midfielder Kim Little has been nominated for the BBC's Women's Footballer of the Year award, which honors the best female player in the world for club and country. Voting on the winner can be done online here and is open to the general public until May 9th.
This year she joins fellow nominees Carli Lloyd and Becky Sauerbrunn from the US, soon-to-be-Thorn Amandine Henry from France, and Cameroonian Gaelle Enganamouit, who plays for FC Rosengard in Sweden.
She comes off of another dominant season for Seattle, finishing the 2015 campaign leading the league in assists and tied for second in goals behind MVP Crystal Dunn. During the NWSL offseason she was the second leading scorer in Australia's W-League, leading expansion Melbourne City to a perfect winning record en route to a league championship. At the international level she's led Scotland to the brink of qualification for the 2017 Euros, which would be the first appearance for the Scottish women at any major international tournament.
Little is the only player to have been nominated in both of the two years the award has existed. Last year she was nominated along with Spain (and Portland's) Vero Boquete, Wolfsburg's Nadine Keßler, Rosengard's Marta, and Liverpool's Asisat Oshoala. Oshoala went on to win the inaugural award.
Despite being so young the BBC award has quickly gained prestige, largely in response to the incumbent FIFA Women's Player of the Year Award, which has been criticized for being overly focused on past accomplishments and achievements in high-profile but brief international tournaments.
The winner of the BBC award will be announced by the BBC on May 24.

Q: referencing an item from enumerate in an article calss I misspoke I meant I used enumerate not cases sorry.
Is it possible to reference a case?
I have \begin{enumerate} and then cases 1 to 4 where each case is a rather detailed.
I would like the refer the reader back to case 2 where the solving a complex integral took place since the only difference in case 2 and 4 is tan and tanh due to the changing of the variable e.
I tried labeling the case but that doesn't work.
A more reasonable example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, hyperref}

\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
\item[Case 1:]
x
\item[Case 2:]
\label{case2}
xx
\item[Case 4:]
 case~\ref{case2}

\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

As you can see there is no reference to click after the word case:

A: The MWE as posted produces

If you don't get that, check your log file for something strange....
Using the updated MWE you see all (automatic) numbering is suppressed so there is nothing to label You should never number "by hand". Just use a list and customise the display, Here I use enumerate although enumitem is newer with more features.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath, hyperref,enumerate}

\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}[{Case} 1:]
\item
x
\item
\label{case2}
xx
\item
 case~\ref{case2}

\end{enumerate}

\end{document}

A: I'm not sure where you're at on this, but what you ask can be done.  Apologize if I have missed the thrust of your question.
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\begin{enumerate}
\item A \label{a}
\item B \label{b}
\item C \label{c}
\end{enumerate}

Please refer to Items~\ref{b} \& \ref{c}.

Note each of the visual methods below may be integrated into an existing engagement, designed into new work or individually tailored to meet your needs. If you do not catch what you're looking for or have questions, please share your ideas here!
.the listening art of the graphic recorder. contemplative. memorable.
visual facilitation (a facilitator utilizing visual methods). Formally recognized as the plan, design and delivery of a session with groups or individuals that utilizes visual techniques. In the past, most graphic facilitation utilized large scale images or templates for population while working with a group. Visual approaches today often involve interactivity to create a more engaging experience for participants. Witnesses of facilitators able to effectively incorporate visual methods often feel they have observed "dancing with the wall" in real time.
visual recording (a visual scribe). The observation and listening of an artist that visually transcribes the information being shared by a speaker or group of speakers in real time. The visual transcription offers a synthesized snapshot for participants, often focused on key messaging and may be digitized for sharing afterwards. This service is highly effective for conferences and larger-scale events, as well as meetings in more intimate settings.

My first yoga class -- a hot power flow -- in 2008 offered up an unforgettable rinse that has kept me thirsting for more ever since. In 2015, my continual inquiry of yoga led me to complete teacher training. As a certified yoga instructor with Yoga Alliance (RYT-200), I am passionate about the transformative power of flow. My classes are designed to be challenging, creative and fun -- dedicated to building strength, while quieting the mind and restoring the soul. Let's practice together!
A word about my consulting approach and delivery. As both strategic management consultant and visual practitioner, I work in a way that first appreciates your unique needs and encourages the exploration of what is possible. From those discoveries and insights, I will partner with you to collaboratively design based on your desired level of engagement (e.g. development side by side or by way of a more hands-off approach). My diverse background offers you access to thought leadership in areas ranging from leadership and team development, change and communications management to systems integration and implementation support planning.
I've been asked many times to fully explain what Strategic Visualization is exactly... for me personally, it is the ever-evolving merge of strategic management with visual practices to produce highly visible outcomes that increase understanding, retention and stimulate innovative thinking. Furthermore, the incorporation of visual tools and methods into any conversation or project brings new insights and opportunities to life, and ensures invaluable affirmation for participants that they have been heard (as they see their words captured and iterated in real time). The blending of visual approaches into the "standard" consultant toolkit, also familiar to me as Visual Consulting or Visual Strategy, has proven to accelerate decision-making and encourage a shared perspective of the big picture. My experience in this work has proven time and time again how powerful visualization can be - if thoughtfully incorporated - to produce meaningful moments and matchless experiences.

Justia › US Law › Case Law › Wisconsin Case Law › Wisconsin Supreme Court Decisions › 1969 › Plummer v. Leonhard
Plummer v. Leonhard
172 N.W.2d 1
PLUMMER, Respondent, v. LEONHARD, Appellant.
Argued October 28, 1969.
Decided November 25, 1969.
*689 For the appellant there were briefs by Petersen, Sutherland, Axley & Brynelson and James C. Herrick, all of Madison, and oral argument by Mr. Herrick.
For the respondent there was a brief by Jasper, Winner, Perina & Rouse and Donald R. McCallum and Harry Sauthoff, Jr., all of Madison, and oral argument by Mr. McCallum.
CONNOR T. HANSEN, J.
On appeal, the main argument of defendant centers on two employment "agreements" which were signed in 1965 and 1966. The agreement of January 22, 1965, provides in part:
"THIS AGREEMENT entered into this 22nd day of Jan, 1965, by and between George L. Leonhard of Madison, Wisconsin, hereinafter referred to as `Employer' and Robert W. Plummer of Madison, Wisconsin, hereinafter referred to as `Employee.'
". . . .
"WHEREAS, it is the desire of the parties hereto that the employment relationship of the parties be reduced to writing and that said written contract govern the rights of the parties from and after the date hereinafter provided.
"NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:
"1. All former contracts and agreements both written and oral are abrogated and the parties hereto mutually *690 release each other from any claim arising out of any previous contracts and this contract shall supersede and release any and all previous contracts.
"2. This agreement shall become effective January 2, 1965, and shall continue until January 2, 1966. However, said contract will be automatically renewed on a one-year basis from year to year from January 2, 1966, unless otherwise terminated as provided for herein."
The agreement of February 1, 1966, was signed by both parties when The Main Agency was sold by appellant to a third party. That agreement provided:
"THIS AGREEMENT entered into this 1st day of February, 1966 by and between George J. Leonhard hereinafter referred to as Leonhard and Robert W. Plummer, hereafter referred to as Plummer.
"WHEREAS the parties hereto have for several years been associated in an insurance agency known as the Main Agency in the City of Madison, Wisconsin with Leonhard as employer and Plummer as employee and,
"WHEREAS the parties have entered into several employment contracts over a period of time and,
"WHEREAS Leonhard has now opportunity to sell said agency and Plummer has opportunity to associate himself with the buyer of said agency and is desirous of seeing such sale consummated and the parties hereto mutually desire to abrogate any contract they might have between them and to mutually release each other from any obligation arising out of said relationship.
"NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED that in consideration of One Dollar and other valuable consideration and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained it is understood and agreed that the total rights of both parties are limited to the settlement provisions for the year 1965 of that certain employment contract between the parties dated January 2, 1965, and that when such settlement has been consummated all contracts and all rights thereunder between the parties are terminated and upon the consummation of such settlement each party hereto mutually and by this instrument releases each other from any claim, action or cause of action that they might have now or in the future arising *691 out of any of the aforesaid contracts or out of anything in any manner connected with the aforesaid business relationship."
Defendant argues these agreements are releases by which plaintiff relinquished any claim which may have arisen out of the employment or business relationship. Defendant further contends that the January 4, 1962, check from plaintiff to defendant was not a personal loan but a return of an overdraw and is based on the business relationship of the two parties. In support for this proposition, defendant relates evidence brought out during the trial, to wit: (1) The amount of the check, $4,370.40, was based on production figures of The Main Agency for 1961, contained in a letter from defendant to plaintiff and dated December 30, 1961; (2) the only security which plaintiff received for the money was the provisions in the 1962 and 1964 employment contracts which allowed plaintiff certain credits toward the purchase of the business should defendant die; (3) the check was not made out to defendant but to The Main Agency; (4) in his 1961 state and federal income tax returns plaintiff reported $4,370.40 as "Commissions Returned" and reported the difference between $7,200 and $4,370.40, or the sum of $2,829.60 as income for tax purposes; and (5) plaintiff stated, in a deposition, that he would not have made the loan without obtaining a note had it not been for the employment relationship.
Defendant relies principally on the language in the February, 1966 agreement: ". . . or out of anything in any manner connected with the aforesaid business relationship." This broad language is immediately preceded by reference to prior specific employment contracts between the two parties: ". . . arising out of any of the aforesaid contracts. . . ." When limiting language appears in a release and precedes the general and broader words, the specific language will control.
*692 ". . . Following a general rule of construction of contracts, . . . it is generally held that general words in a release are to be limited and restricted by particular words in the recital, at least where there is nothing on the face of the instrument, other than general words of release, to show that anything more than the matters particularly specified was intended to be discharged, and where the particular recitals precede the general words; . . . " 76 C. J. S., Release, pp. 670, 671, sec. 38.
However, this distinction is not to be observed too rigidly if such a construction would defeat the intent of the parties: "As otherwise stated the rule is that, if an intent to limit the scope of the release appears, it will be restricted to conform to such intent. The foregoing general rule has been said to be merely a rule of construction and not a strict rule of law, and to be inefficacious to control a court as against the obvious intention of the parties." 76 C. J. S., Release, p. 671, sec. 38. While great liberality is allowed in construing releases, the operation will be limited to those things within the contemplation of the parties at the time of execution of the release. See Rensink v. Wallenfang (1959), 8 Wis. 2d 206, 213, 99 N.W.2d 196. The determination of intent of the parties to a release, and the scope of a release, is a question of fact for the jury.
"The scope of a release, and the intention of the parties that the release shall cover particular claims, are for the jury or other triers of the facts; but where the facts are undisputed, the scope has been held to be for the court." 76 C. J. S., Release, p. 721, sec. 72.[1]
Therefore, the issue is whether the trial court should have taken the question from the jury and ruled as a matter of law that the 1965 and 1966 agreements extinguished plaintiff's claim. We conclude the trial court properly decided the question should be determined by the jury.
*693 The focal point of the case is what took place between the parties in January of 1962. Plaintiff's evidence at the trial went to establish that the payment to The Main Agency was not a return of an overdraw but wholly a personal loan necessitated by the Main Agency having a bad year financially (1961) and defendant wanting maximum social security benefits which would be possible only if the agency had sufficient draw. If the transaction was a loan and not a return of an overdraw, plaintiff's claim cannot be based on an employment contract since plaintiff had in fact been paid his salary for 1961.
If plaintiff's view is accepted, as it apparently was by the jury, then the evidence put forth by defendant takes on different dimensions. Thus, the fact the check was made to The Main Agency and based on production figures is not inconsistent with a loan designed to give defendant maximum social security benefits based on the draw of the agency and independent of any employment contract. Nor do the statements in plaintiff's 1961 income tax returns demand the conclusion that the transaction was based on an employment contract and was not a loan. Defendant suggests this court hold as a matter of law that such evidence amounts to an admission under oath requiring plaintiff to submit evidence showing the income tax returns to be a mistake. The only authority cited by defendant for this proposition is 1 Jones, Evidence (1938 4th ed.), p. 556, sec. 296, which states:
"It is hardly necessary to add that, unless admissions are contractual or unless they constitute an estoppel within some of the rules hereinbefore stated, they are not ordinarily conclusive, but are open to rebuttal or explanation, or to be controlled by higher evidence. Nor does the admission of a party operate to exclude other competent evidence to the same effect. This is true even where the statement has been made under oathalthough admissions thus solemnly made are evidence of great weight against the declarant, throwing on him the burden of showing a mistake. . . ."
*694 However, 2 Jones, Evidence (1958 5th ed.), p. 739, sec. 397, which covers the same subject matter, makes no mention of any requirement that evidence of mistake must be produced:
"It is hardly necessary to add that, unless admissions are contractual or unless they constitute an estoppel within some of the rules hereinbefore stated, they are not ordinarily conclusive, but are open to rebuttal or explanation, and entitled only to such weight as they deserve to assist the trier of the issues of fact in arriving at the truth. Nor does the admission of a party operate to exclude other competent evidence to the same effect. This is true even where the statement has been made under oathAlthough admissions thus solemnly made are evidence of great weight against the declarant, placing him under the necessity of producing persuasive evidence to show why he should not be bound by it."
Plaintiff testified that he had filled out the 1961 income tax forms according to defendant's recommendations and plaintiff was instructed to treat the loan as income when it was paid back to him. It is questionable how much relevance the form of reporting taxes has on the nature of a transaction between debtor and creditor, particularly where there is evidence that plaintiff was not knowledgeable in tax matters and relied upon defendant for advice. The defendant has not directed our attention to any authority, nor have we been able to find any, by which this court should hold the declarations in the 1961 tax form conclusive as to the nature and intent of the agreement between the parties. The weight to be given this evidence remained a jury determination.
Finally, plaintiff's statement, on deposition, that he would not have made the loan without a note but for the "employment relationship" does not automatically bring the loan within the language of the 1965 and 1966 releases. It is clear that when plaintiff used this terminology he was referring to an association between the two parties based on the fact they were working together and not on any strict contractual relationship:
*695 "Q. You still haven't get a note from him?
"A. No, I am not able to get one.
"Q. But the issuance of the check and all the factors that surrounded it arose out of this relationship between you and Leonhard in regard to this insurance business?
"A. Well, I can't say affirmative on that, no. That was a condition that existed. He was the sole proprietor. I don't think it was my obligation whether the business at that point made a profit or a loss.
"Q. I am not asking you that. But this arose out of your employment relationship, this transaction?
"A. Well, obviously to the extent that he would not have asked me for the money had I not been associated with him, that's right.
"Q. In other words, you wouldn't go to somebody outside ofto the outside world and give him a check for $4,370 without taking a note?
"A. No, sir, I wouldn't.
"Q. But you did with him because of the fact that you were employed there, and this failure to do so arose out of this employment relationship, is that right?
"A. I was basing our relationship on our initial Exhibit 1, that's correct."
Thus, a jury, finding the intent of the 1965 and 1966 releases was limited to prior employment contracts rather than a "business relationship," could conclude the release of the 1962 loan was not within the scope of these agreements.
Defendant claims error in the trial court's refusal to submit a question on whether or not the loan arose out of the employment relationship. However, the trial court did instruct the jury to answer question 2 of the general verdict "zero" if they found the parties intended by contracts and releases to release defendant from any obligation he might otherwise have on the loan.
"`The form of the verdict rests in the sound discretion of the trial court, and that discretion will not be interfered with so long as the issues of fact in the case are covered by appropriate questions.' Ehlers v. Automobile Liability Co. (1919), 169 Wis. 494, 501, 173 N.W. 325; Lemke v. Milwaukee E. R. & L. Co. (1912), 149 Wis. *696 535, 539, 136 N.W. 286; Hebbe v. Maple Creek (1904), 121 Wis. 668, 673, 99 N.W. 442." Garcia v. Chicago & N. W. Ry. (1950), 256 Wis. 633, 637, 42 N.W.2d 288.
In this case we are of the opinion that all the issues were covered by the form of the verdict submitted by the trial court.
By the Court.Judgment affirmed.
[1] See also Doyle v. Teasdale (1953), 263 Wis. 328, 57 N.W.2d 381, where the issue of whether a release for personal injuries covered unknown injuries was a question of fact for the jury.
