The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was established in 1957 to promote safe, secure and peaceful nuclear technologies. The IAEA has a special relationship with the UN and reports annually to the UN General Assembly and, when appropriate, to the Security Council regarding non-compliance by States with their safeguards obligations as well as on matters relating to international peace and security.
In late 2002, the agency started to show concern about developments in Iran and, a few months later, began to question Iranian assurances regarding the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities and to seek access to sites where Iran was suspected of enrichment activities.
As a result of the numerous inspections, repeated dogged questioning from the Agency, and intense international pressure, today we have significantly greater knowledge and understanding of Iran's nuclear program - its history, nature and extent - than at any time in the past. And, in the past few months, Iran, as you know, has finally admitted to having failed to adhere to many of its obligations under its NPT safeguards agreement. Agency inspectors have been on the ground in Iran, have been in the unique position of having seen and taken samples at all the facilities in question, have had direct interaction with the relevant people, and have brought their past experience to bear in addressing this latest challenge…. But our work in Iran remains a 'work in progress'; we have found no conclusive evidence, to date, of a weapons program, but neither are we ready to conclude that the program is conclusively peaceful in nature. Extensive verification work remains, and full co-operation and transparency on the part of Iran - which we expect - will be essential. (IAEA Conference, December 8, 2003).
The IAEA released a report February 1, 2006, which found evidence of links between Iran's nuclear program and its military work on high explosives and missiles. The report documents work Iran has conducted on uranium processing, high explosives and a missile warhead design, which contradicts Iranian claims that it is only interested in electrical power. The IAEA also reiterated its past complaints that Iran has not been cooperative on all of the outstanding nuclear issues that the agency has been investigating (New York Times, February 1, 2006).
Following the IAEA decision, Iran announced that it had resumed uranium enrichment efforts and will no longer comply with voluntary measures designed to enhance international inspectors' access to its nuclear facilities (Washington Post, February 15, 2006).
Iran has begun testing about 20 centrifuges used in enriching fuel and is making improvements at its Natanz nuclear facility according to a February report by the IAEA. The organization also said that it was not "in a position to conclude that there are no undeclared nuclear materials or activities in Iran." The report criticizes Iran for failing to reveal "the scope and nature" of its nuclear program despite three years of IAEA monitoring efforts (Washington Post, February 28, 2006).
In May 2006, UN inspectors found traces of highly enriched uranium on equipment from an Iranian research center linked to the military. Initial reports suggested the density of enrichment was close to or above the level used to make nuclear warheads. But later a diplomat accredited to the IAEA said it was below that, although higher than the low-enriched material used to generate power and heading toward weapons-grade level (AP, May 13, 2006).
On March 8, 2007, the IAEA announced the suspension of nearly two dozen nuclear technical aid programs to Iran as part of UN sanctions imposed because the country's nuclear defiance. Perhaps even more important was the decision two weeks later by Russia to withhold nuclear fuel for the Bushehr power plant unless Iran suspends its uranium enrichment.
The IAEA issued a report on November 15, 2007, which said Iran was cooperating with the agency, but also said that Iran has ignored for more than a year the Security Council's demand that it stop enriching uranium. Moreover, the report warned that its understanding of Iran's nuclear program "is diminishing" because Tehran was preventing more extensive inspections. In addition, Iran reportedly denied IAEA requests to interview at least two Iranians about their nuclear work. According to Newsweek, "agency investigators are still waiting for Iranian explanations and documents about uranium contamination at a technical university, the operations of a uranium mine, and alleged studies related to atomic weapons research, including high-explosive testing and the design of a missile re-entry vehicle." The magazine also noted, "The report was unequivocal in verifying that despite Security Council demands to the contrary, Iran is proceeding with uranium enrichment and construction of a heavy-water production plant, which would supply a heavy-water reactor capable of producing plutonium. The IAEA found that Iran had installed nearly 3,000 centrifuges at its main uranium enrichment plant as of November 3." A week earlier, Iran gave the IAEA a document that essentially described how to make components for a nuclear bomb (Newsweek, November 15, 2007).
Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on November 29, 2007, that nothing would deflect the Islamic Republic from its pursuit of nuclear technology and that Washington had "lost" in its attempts to stop them. "The Iranian nation will never return from the path that they have chosen and they are determined and decisive to continue this path (to obtain nuclear technology)" (Reuters, December 1, 2007).
The IAEA issued a report on May 26, 2008, that accused Iran of stonewalling the agency. "Iran has not provided the Agency with all the information, access to documents and access to individuals necessary to support Iran's statements" that its activities were purely peaceful in intent. The agency also noted that Iran had ignored three sets of Security Council sanctions calling for an end to its enrichment activities and, instead, expanded its operational centrifuges by about 500 since the IAEA's February report (AP, May 26, 2008). The IAEA, moreover, found "substantial parts of the centrifuge components were manufactured in the workshops of the Defense Industries Organization." It also describes evidence of detonators, testing systems, and missile configuration that can only go with a nuclear weapon (Christian Science Monitor, May 30, 2008).
In September 2008, IAEA officials reported that enough enriched uranium to make six atom bombs (if processed to weapons grade level) disappeared from the main production facility at Isfahan. The officials suspect the material may have been moved to one of the installations spotted by American spy satellites, which intelligence officials believe are being used for covert research (Telegraph, September 12, 2008).
The European Union issued a statement on September 24, 2008, that said the IAEA's information "leads one to think that Iran has methodically pursued a program aimed at acquiring the nuclear bomb."
David Albright of the Institute for Science and International Security said in 2008 that Iran has solved many of the problems it had with its centrifuges and they are now "running at approximately 85% of their stated target capacity, a significant increase over previous rates." The IAEA's 2008 report said Iran has produced nearly 1,000 pounds of low-enriched uranium; Albright says it needs a minimum of 1,500-pounds for a simple nuclear bomb, a figure it could reach in six months to two years (AP, September 24, 2008).
One proposal floated to persuade Iran to give up its nuclear program was to guarantee guaranteed supplies of nuclear fuel from abroad. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki rejected that idea: "No ... Iran's uranium enrichment policy remains unchanged. Enrichment will continue until Iran becomes self-sufficient in fuel production for nuclear plants." Iran will also not hesitate to proliferate nuclear technology. "As soon as we become self-sufficient in fuel production," Mottaki said "we are ready to supply it to countries in need" (Reuters, October 5, 2008).
According to the IAEA's May 2010 report, Iran has produced a stockpile of nuclear fuel that, with further enrichment, would be sufficient to build two nuclear weapons. In addition, the report says Iran has expanded work at Natanz and that inspectors have been denied access to facilities and their questions have gone unanswered. The IAEA noted that Iran has also raised the level of uranium enrichment up to 20 percent, far beyond the 4 percent needed to run nuclear power reactors that Iran claims is the purpose of their program. Additional centrifuges have been set up it is believe to increase the level of enrichment to weapons grade (New York Times, May 31, 2010).
In August 2010, Iran announced that it had selected the locations inside protected mountain strongholds where it would build 10 new uranium enrichment sites. In an additional move seen as retaliation against the international community for its sanctions against Iran, President Ahmadinejad also announced the implementation of a new law banning the Iranian government from anything beyond the minimum level of cooperation with the IAEA (AP, August 16, 2010).
In April 2011, scientists from Iran's atomic energy program announced that they had successfully tested advanced centrifuges for enriching uranium and were less than a month away from starting Iran's first commercial nuclear reactor. Though the advances were not yet fully implemented, the announcements countered international perceptions that Iran's nuclear program had suffered significant setbacks during a series of cyber attacks on the country's main uranium enrichment facilities in 2009 and 2010 and prompted some experts to redraw their forecasts for how quickly the country could build an atomic arsenal (Washington Post, April 14, 2011).
A May 2011 IAEA report on the progress of Iran's nuclear program included that Iran had conducted work on a sophisticated triggering device to be used to set off a nuclear weapon. The same report also indicated that Iran was recovering from the Stuxnet computer worm that had stalled its production of nuclear fuel and was believed to have been designed and released by Israel and the United States in 2010 (JTA, May 25, 2011). The following month, Iranian state television broadcast images of a number of missile silos deep underground, saying they held medium- and long-range missiles. While Iran claimed the subterranean silos were defensive assets, as they are harder to destroy than surface installations, the London-based arms analysis group the International Institute for Strategic Studies reported evidence of Iranian silos that could fire missiles at Israel, Turkey and through the Persian Gulf and that the most logical reason for building the silos was in preparation to field larger missiles (New York Times, June 27, 2011).
A UN panel of experts, which was convened after the UN Security Council imposed stiffer sanctions against in Iran in 2010, released a report in June 2011 which compiled information provided by Security Council member nations, monitors sent to various countries where unauthorized Iranian activity has been uncovered and input from outside experts on Iran's development of medium- and long-range missiles, nuclear program and weapons-smuggling operations. The report warned: "Iran's circumvention of sanctions across all areas, in particular the use of front companies, concealment methods in shipping, financial transactions and the transfer of conventional arms and related materiel, is willful and continuing. Iran maintains its uranium enrichment and heavy water-related activities, as noted in reporting by the International Atomic Energy Agency, and in the area of ballistic missiles, continues to test missiles and engage in prohibited procurement." According to the report, in a period of less than six months, the Iranians launched Sejil and Shahab 3 missiles on three occasions, and conducted an additional trial of the Fateh-110 missile (Haaretz, June 10, 2011).
In September 2011, Iran moved its most critical nuclear fuel production to a highly guarded underground military facility outside the city of Qum, where - according to intelligence officials - it is less vulnerable to an air or cyberattack such as the 2010 Stuxnet computer worm that reportedly set back Iran's nuclear program by a year or two (New York Times, September 2, 2011).
In its November 2012 report, the IAEA said Iran had installed 700 new centrifuges at its fortified underground facility at Fordo. Iran has already been enriching uranium to 20 percent and the new equipment will allow the facility to double its output of higher-enriched uranium. According to the IAEA, this will allow Iran to make the core of a nuclear warhead within months. The plant is now believed to have approximately 2,800 centrifuges (AP, November 16, 2012). Later, Yukiya Amano, director general of the IAEA, said no progress had been made toward determining whether Iran was building a bomb. Suspicions were raised further after reports that Iran had conducted nuclear weapons tests at its Parchin military site. The IAEA wanted to inspect the site, but Iran refused, and began cleaning the area, the IAEA believed, to prevent it from learning what sort of tests were conducted (Reuters, November 29, 2012).
In May 2013, the IAEA released its quarterly report on the Iranian nuclear program which showed the Islamic Republic accelerating the installment of advanced uranium enrichment equipment at Natanz. Iran has installed almost 700 advanced IR2m centrifuges at the plant, compared with 180 in February, prompting the agency to restate its ongoing concern about the "possible military dimensions" of Iran's nuclear project. The report also says the heavy water reactor in Arak will be completed and online by the end of 2014. One positive finding was that Iran has not started to operate new equipment at the Fordo facility, which, unlike Natanz, can enrich uranium to the sensitive 20% level. The report said Iran did not produce a significant amount of of ths enriched uranium so as, to approach but not cross the red line that might trigger a military response. A more disturbing development, however, it the revelation that Tehran has started to produce plutonium. Iran is also continuingt to conceal the military base at Parchin, covering it with asphalt and restricting the work of nuclear inspectors who believe it was used to test nuclear triggers. In the last three months, the IAEA disclosed that Iran increased its total stock of low-enriched uranium by almost 8 percent, to nearly 10 tons (BBC, AFP, Haaretz, New York Times, May 22, 2013).
Despite hopes that the new Iranian regime would change its policy, the IAEA found in its August 2013 report that the nuclear program had continued to accelerate. According to the report, Iran's stockpile of 20% enriched uranium has reached 185.8 kilogram, an increase of only about 4 kilograms since May 2013, because Iran is continuing to convert 20% material into powder. This continues a pattern where Iran increases its enriched uranium supply, but keeps the total below the estimated 240-250 kilograms which, when further enriched to weapons grade, would be enough for one nuclear weapon. This is Israel's stated "red line." The IAEA also found that Iran has now installed 1,008 advanced (IR-2M) centrifuges at Natanz but these centrifuges are not yet producing enriched uranium. Iran continues to make progress on the Arak (heavy water) reactor (IR-40), but its anticipated start-up date (early 2014) is no longer achievable due to construction delays.
Iran failed to submit reports to the IAEA detailing it's experiments with explosives that could be used for an atomic device, and studies relating to nuclear program yields. The IAEA report for August 2014 included that Iran has effectively stopped cooperation with the IAEA and the international community. Iran so far has carried out the minor components of the 5 transparency measures but still has to submit the most important portions including details of it's explosive expirementation and studies relating to nuclear program yields. These are by far the most critical components of the transparency measures because they evaluate the potential military dimensions of the Iranian nuclear program. The international community cannot be sure of what the intentions of the Iranian nuclear program are until they disclose these aspects, and by refusing to cooperate in this way Iran has completely shut off the international negotiations. Especially because of the renewed activity at the Parchin nuclear base, the IAEA is extremely concerned about concealed Iranian nuclear activity that they have not reported as part of the transparency measures. To read the complete IAEA report for August 2014, click here.
Western states pushing Iran to scale down it's nuclear program got a rude awakening on August 27, when it was revealed that Iran had been undertaking "mechanical" tests on a new centrifuge system. Iran claims that it's centrifuges are not for nuclear weaponization purposes and that it is manufacturing new ones to replace it's old and accident-prone centrifuges. These new advanced centrifuges could allow Iran to come up with a nuclear weapon at a much faster rate than before. The interim deal struck between Iran and the P5+1 in November 2013 states that Iran could not go beyond the current centrifuge research and development programs it had in place. This restriction expressly prohibits the manufacture or testing of new centrifuges and centrifuge materials, and Iran has blatantly disregarded the agreement by carrying out new tests. The IAEA's monthly report for August, released on August 20 made no mention of new centrifuge development taking place. According to the IAEA document titled Centrifuge Research and Development Limitations in Iran the IAEA clearly state that "Iran's development of more advanced centrifuges would also significantly complicate the verification of a long-term agreement. In a breakout or cheating scenario, Iran would need far fewer of these advanced centrifuges in a clandestine plant to make weapon-grade uranium than in one using IR-1 centrifuges".
Throughout the negotiations process Iran continued to prevent IAEA nuclear investigators and officials from gaining access to Iranian nuclear sites or scientists. This refusal to cooperate has effectively crippled the negotiations and peace process, and made it exceedingly complicated to reach agreements between the P5+1 and Iranian leaders. With the November 24 2014 deal deadline approaching, at the end of October Iranian officials once again denied IAEA inspectors access to their nuclear sites including Parchin, where a suspicious explosion had occured recently. Director General of the IAEA, Yukiya Amano stated on October 31 2014 that "almost no progress" had been made over the course of 2014 involving the allegations of Iranian nuclear weapons development.
In an IAEA report released on November 7 2014, which can be found here , the agency reported that Iran "has not provided any explanations that enable the Agency to clarify the outstanding practical measures, nor has it proposed any new practical measures in the next step of the Framework for Cooperation". According to the report Iran has failed to answer almost every critical question about the potential military dimensions of it's nuclear program, and has continued to thwart further investigations into the program. The report states that no progress has been made into the investigation since the last report was published.
The IAEA announced on December 11 that they had indeed secured the funding required to continue their monitoring of Iran's nuclear program. At an IAEA meeting that week international donors including large contributors the Netherlands and Norway pledged more than the expected 4.6 million Euros, demonstrating the international support for avoiding a nuclear Iran.
The IAEA report for the end of 2014 included details that showed that Iran was cooperating in certain aspects with the temporary deal agreed to in January 2014. According to the report, the Iranians kept their word and continued to not enrich uranium over 5%, and had also not made any other technological advances at their nuclear facilities.

Today's NBA news
Monty's mantra brings the Suns home spotless
After finishing their road trip 5-0, the Suns now lead the West by 3.5 games.
By KennethManoj@kenneth_manoj Jan 23, 2022, 3:00pm MST
Share All sharing options for: Monty's mantra brings the Suns home spotless
Suns' head coach Monty Williams has learned a few things about human nature and how to fight against it. One of the most important things he has learned is how to fight against complacency, and this lesson has been key to the Sun's recent successes.
"When you win four games in a row on the road, human nature says 'ah you know, we had a good trip'," Williams said before the tilt against the Mavericks on Thursday night. "We wanted to have a great trip, and the only way we could have a great trip was to win tonight."
The Suns followed up on Monty's mantra in Thursday night's victory, defeating the Dallas Mavericks, 109-101. Suns All-Star guard Devin Booker matched Maverick's All-Star guard Luka Doncic with 28 points apiece, while future Hall of Famer Chris Paul recorded his 20th double-double of the season, scoring 20 points and converting 11 assists.
Despite this, the Suns trailed for most of the game, behind by eight at the end of the half, at the end of the third, and even as late as seven minutes to go in the fourth quarter. But their late-game defense squeezed Dallas dry as the Suns outscored the Mavericks 22-6 in the final seven minutes to take home the win.
Add in the win in their return home on Saturday night — another game likely to succumb to complacency on a lesser team — the Suns have a league-best record of 36-9, ahead of the Golden State Warriors by 3.5 games.
When they left Phoenix for the five-game road trip, the longest of their season, the Suns were tied with the Warriors at 30-9, who had just welcomed back their All-Star wing, Klay Thompson, from his long-awaited absence. While the national media was focused on how high the Warriors could climb with Thompson back, the Suns focused on the task at hand: turning a good trip, into a great trip.
"We talk about it amongst ourselves," Suns' forward Jae Crowder said after the Mavericks game. "To make a good trip a great trip, you gotta win the last one, so we did just that."
Booker spoke about how these road trips have shown the team's strength in unity, and that strength can be seen on the court.
"Once we touch [the] road, we're all together, even when we leave practice," Booker said. "We're in the room together, we're watching games together, we're hitting each other up on the group chats."
"You can't fake what we got."
The "great" trip has also highlighted something more minor but personal to Monty Williams: for the first time since 2012, Williams' overall coaching record is above .500. At 294-290, Williams has come a long way since his first year with the New Orleans Hornets. Led by bruising forward David West and a 26-year-old Chris Paul, the 2010-2011 Hornets won 46 games before bowing out of the playoffs in the first round to the Lakers.
It would take another four years for Williams to return to the playoffs, as Paul's subsequent trade to the Los Angeles Clippers in the summer of 2011 would set Williams' and the Hornets' future back a few years. Williams' record suffered over this time, but now his record is reaping the rewards of all his hard work and perseverance.

January 27, 2017 / Sarah / Comments Off on Why not learn more about Products?
Health and nutritional supplements are a huge business. Supplement companies and nutritional well-being have already been utilizing network marketing to distribute their goods for a long time. Many of these companies market on the web and utilize Independent Representatives to distribute their merchandise. While most of these companies offer authentic quality merchandises, there are several things you ought to consider before jumping into your wallet.
If you are doing a search for 'Nutritional Supplements' you'll find that there are hundreds of products that claim to do some quite amazing things. While there are some amazing statements made by companies marketing these dietary supplements, trying to evaluate their effectiveness is difficult to do. Unlike drugs that go through a lengthy FDA approval process, health and dietary supplements are largely unregulated, and may offer rewards which might be hard to judge from a medical point of view. One has to take into account that the goods haven't taken the identical review as additional health products, while the supplement might indeed be beneficial.
While this might be a concern for those purchasing the goods solely for the wellness benefits, this isn't usually the important focus of these joining a Dietary business as Independent Representatives since the bulk of people join the network marketing business to earn money. Many providers see the products as related to earning money, while the goods are an integral part of the company. The problem is, making money is not as easy as the marketing would have you to consider.
The world is normally something different, even if enormous revenue chances are regularly boasted of by business advertisements. To start off with, a monthly purchase for profits on all levels is required by most firms. Then you find that you'll need promotion and marketing stuff which demand money in addition to the merchandise buys. You are spending a huge selection of bucks monthly on publicity and merchandise, and getting a $7 monthly percentage check return before you understand it. Promotion promises notwithstanding, the truth is 95% of us may never make substantial amounts of money in MLM. The business may usually emphasize several individuals who are making enormous amounts of cash as signs they are succeeding at it, and so can you.
For this and other reasons, most network marketing companies suffer from attrition that is continual. Constant recruiting is a fact of life in such a business, and even way more for many nutritional based network marketing companies. You have probably discovered that MLM is a 'number's' game. The thought is that by always looking for new people, you'll eventually stumble upon others like yourself who'll be motivated to make some serious money.

Detroit Producer Makes His Stance Known On The Conditions Of The Industry
Going behind the scenes of the copious stages of audio engineering, Kaleb The Intern sits down to talk with us!
This week we interviewed a "skeptic, amateur philosopher, and pro syllogist", adding "really I'm a music producer, pianist and songwriter from Detroit, MI currently residing in Los Angeles, California". Kalebtheintern is a creative genius who works amongst the likes of the Assemble Sound crew out of Detroit Michigan. His talent and published work can be heard on the tracks of Whiterosemoxie, Sam Austins, Tiny Jag and others.
Here is what Kaleb has to say…
What are some things you balance week to week amongst your passion?
"The music industry is a rare career field. Much of working in the business requires you to build personal relationships. And once you reach any modicum of success, you have to learn to waltz the boundaries of business and personal relationships with grace. This can be tricky because most people who enter the industry usually have no prior knowledge or experience - so everyone begins by stepping on each other's toes. One of the difficult things to balance is learning how to operate with a business forward mindset while also maintaining those personal relationships. Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of artists who still don't understand that although music is an art, it is a business as well. We wouldn't have had Beethoven and Mozart if it wasn't for the princes, kings, and royalty that employed them back in the day to write their symphonies and great works. But don't get me wrong, the music is the most important part - you just can't leave out the business."
When did your extreme interest In music or even art (creating) begin?
"In a way, I was sort of ushered into music with an internship I had with Assemble Sound (Detroit's largest music organization) over half a decade ago. At the time, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but I was an astute young classical pianist. I had been taking lessons from a very early age."
Who are some of the influences on your work?
"The majority of my influences come from either my dad or my piano teachers. From my father, I recall great jazz artists like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck and Horace Silver. I still remember falling asleep to these demi-gods on car rides home.
My piano teachers introduced me to the great artists who quickly became my heroes - Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Bach, Liszt, Debussy, Ravel, and Camille Saint Saens. From these I learned to adapt structure, musical analysis and harmony to modern day popular music."
When did you begin to create? Tell us what the scenario was, more fun, more serious, was it for anyone?
"I began creating music around the age of 10 or 12. At the time I was in love with Film music. I still am. Film music inspired me to create. I would compose the most elaborate and juvenile pieces of music you wished you had never heard. But I loved it. Somehow it allowed me to pass over into another world for brief moments. These times were very special to me."
How has your outlook on music developed since you began creating?
"In ways, my heart has hardened towards creating music. For a long time, I was making music that I knew would do/play well. Although I was having fun, I was conforming myself to a standard that wasn't me musically. This drained me and took a lot of the fun out of creating. Within the past year, I've dialed back and have had the privilege to work with people like Sam Austins, Tiny Jag, and Jax Anderson who really strive to make something unique and unhinged, separate (but special) from all of the monotony you hear in music today."
What did you know about producers before you did take this full force?
"Nothing really. Seth Anderson A.K.A Syblyng (Assemble Sound Head of Music and Music Producer) taught me most everything I know about production from an early age. He was my only real exposure at the time. I come from an academically headstrong family such as lawyers, judges, mayors, sole proprietors, but no musicians."
How do you feel about the credit producers receive for their work? Does it ever even cross your mind?
"For the most part I think artists today do a fair job in giving credit where it's due. There is a big issue in hip hop where labels are not paying out producers and that has to stop.
Oftentimes, when a producer will write a song with/for an artist and the artist will take it to another producer who will replace most of the elements in the song (without changing the nature, structure or harmony) and then take away the original producer's credit. Luckily this hasn't happened to me but I've had several friends who have run into this problem."
How do you best work, by yourself? Walk us through your process and some of the cooler things you've done.
"My best work is always done in a room with other artists, writers, or producers. I thrive off of collaboration."
Kaleb adds:
"Back in Detroit, my friends and I (Jay Cribbs, Lex Lander, Thibault, Sam, etc.) would stay up all night in Assemble Sounds old studios, (these studios were in a 300 year old church) and we'd go around the entire church sampling every surface and object we could find. At one point there was also a large open room on the second floor with high ceilings and we would sample and record drums or anything we could put our hands on. I had the most fun at that church I've ever had making music."
What's some of the biggest accomplishments or even mental "payoffs" you've stumbled upon on this journey?
"It's funny. My biggest mental payoff is something I can't really speak on. But I can say this - I was developing this incredible artist and we released a song that caught the ear of American Recording Publishing Company (Rick Rubin's publishing company). So first off, that was exciting to hear. Rick Rubin is one of my biggest inspirations in music. His versatility is unmatched, alongside Kanye West, Jay-Z, Black Sabbath, Eminem, Beastie Boys, Queen, Adele, Aero Smith, Run DMC, and the list goes on. He has an inane discernment for creating music that an artist will love but the average listener will also accept. This, to me, is one of the most difficult things to do as a producer. Anyway, come to find out, Rick Rubin himself had reached out to his own team to search for the artist and producer who had made this song that he had apparently come to love. This song was something I produced and had co-written and Rick Rubin the producer I look up to most liked it so much that he reached out. Easily one of my proudest moments."
What are some of your favorite collaborations to date?
"Sam Austins unreleased music is hands down the best stuff I have ever made. He is easily one of the most talented artists I have ever worked with. Whiterosemoxie is probably the coolest artist in the world right now. He's raw and full to the brim with talent. Working with him has been a joy. I could go on. Most everyone I work with are my favorite collaborations. Look for my discography playlist on Spotify or Instagram."
Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years in the game?
"2 Grammys, 4 nominations. 3 indie Film scores. 1 Major film score. Billboard 100.
Going back to school for law or international development economics."
What's some advice you'd give yourself or someone just about to begin creating who's a little anxious about it?
"I'm proud of my mindset when I was younger. The only advice I would give my younger self would be to take every leap, take every shot, and never waste time over contemplating."

Jaini's Welsh Weekend is a new series, where I revisit my little weekend getaway to mid-Wales. I visited Ironbridge (in England, not Wales) on the way to Wales.
While in the UK, to take a break from the busy London city life, we decided to spend a weekend in the countryside with Saj's family. So en route to a cute cottage that we had booked in Beguildy in Powys, mid-Wales for the weekend, we decided to stop at Ironbridge (250km or 3.5hours from London) and do a little sight-seeing in the first home of the Industrial Revolution and where the world's first cast-iron bridge was built.
Here's a little time-lapse compilation. Can you spot the Iron Bridge?
Of course, when we drove up to Ironbridge, it was drizzling (I really don't understand British summers). But I wasn't deterred by the rain so I just put on a raincoat and was ready to explore. After parking the car by some tourist shops, we went on to the Iron Bridge, looking out at the gorgeous gorge, and ventured into the Tollhouse at the end of the bridge, that overlooks the River Severn. The Tollhouse now serves as an information centre on the history of the bridge, where we found a volunteer who willingly gave us a short history lesson on the bridge's existence. Ironbridge is a village on the River Severn, at the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge, in Shropshire, England. Ironbridge developed beside and takes its name from, the famous Iron Bridge, a 30-meter (100 ft) cast iron bridge that was built across the river, joining the parishes of Madeley and Benthall in 1779. The Iron Bridge is the world's first bridge made out of cast-iron, which helped to create a platform for the Industrial Revolution. In 1790, Abraham Darby I established a coke-fired furnace to produce cast iron. Before this time, iron was made using charcoal, produced by burning wood. as forest sizes in Great Britain diminished, the substitution of coke for charcoal became common, allowing blast furnaces to become taller and larger due to coke's superior crushing strength.
Abraham Darby I first smelted local iron ore with coke, to make cast iron. Soon, Shropshire became a centre for industrial trade due to the low price of fuel from the local mines. The River Severn was used as a key trading route, but it was also a barrier to travel around the Severn Gorge, as the nearest bridge was two miles away. Also, the river was prone to drought and flooding, so a ferry was not a great option. If any bridge was to be built, it had to be a single span due to the gorge's steep sides and high enough to allow tall ships to pass underneath. The steepness and instability of the banks were problematic for building a bridge, and there was no point where roads on opposite sides of the river converged. In 1773, Thomas Farnolls Pritchard – an architect from Shrewsbury, had a bold idea. He proposed the world's first iron bridge, combining engineering expertise and the new iron casting techniques.
Completed in 1779, the Iron Bridge remained in full use for over 150 years. But in 1934 it was finally closed to traffic and was designated an Ancient Monument. Tolls for pedestrians were collected until 1950 when ownership of the bridge was transferred to Shropshire County Council. The bridge has been repaired several times, especially to avoid it collapsing when the river floods. The road surface was replaced and the toll-house was restored as an information centre.
The bridge became a UN world heritage site in 1986.
Today, the town is a tourist hub, attracting thousands of tourists to see the bridge and the Ironbridge gorge, among other museums, such as the Museum of the Gorge, Coalport China Museum, Blists Hill Victorian Town and the Darby Houses. One can also stay in the cute inns and experience the classic British countryside life in the home of the epic Industrial Revolution.
Later, we went back to our car after soaking in the stunning scenic views but not before browsing through the local stores to buy a souvenir or two (AKA a fridge magnet for our already-crowded fridge door).
Then we were back on the scenic roads again!


A sure way to feed your chocolate craving.

Yield: 2 servings (2 crepes per serving).


a method of obtaining fish without using net devices. It is based on a thorough study of the biological characteristics of a species offish and the characteristics of its reaction to various stimuli; it is also based on the use of modern technological means for concentrating the fish scattered in the depths. Electrical currents and light are used in netless fishing, and the possibility of using sound and chemical agents is under study.
Fishing with the aid of electrical currents initially came into practice in fresh water. Electrodes are joined to a direct-current source and placed in the water. Under the influence of the electric field, fish orient themselves between the electrodes and move in the direction of the anode. When the distance to the anode is sufficiently small, fish fall into a state of electronarcosis and can easily be gathered up with hand nets or other devices. When the current is shut off, fish come out of the electronarcotic state comparatively quickly. The effect of the current depends on the species and size of the fish. The effect on large species is stronger than that on small species, and this is the basis for selective fishing, making it possible to gather fish of a given size. The apparatus for catching fish in fresh water operates with diesel generators that put out a direct current of 5–10 amps and 200–300 volts. In seawater, this current proved insufficient, so that it had to be increased to 10 kiloamperes. This required larger systems, which were economically inexpedient. The problem was resolved by the use of impulse current.
Very successful dense accumulations of fish, suitable for mass fishing, have been created through the use of electric lights. At certain periods in their lives, different species of fish react differently to light. Some (sardines, herring, saira, sprats) are attracted by light. For example, to catch Caspian sprat with lights during darkness, a fishing vessel—after locating the fish—switches on the lamps it has put over the side, and the sprats head for the light in such a dense shoal that they may be easily pumped up. Further development of netless fishing is opening broad vistas for industrial fishing.

When one first starts searching for a welder to select it can be easy to become overwhelmed. There are a plethora of different types of welders to pick from like arc welders, MIG and so on. Even if you can easily narrow down the kind of welder that you need, you still have to select the brand and the capacity of the welder. Thankfully if you have some information of the varied types of welders the welder selection process will be much simpler.
First, you have to know what the type of the welder really means as far as its function. MIG and arc / stick are most likely the two most popular types and are probably going to be the type of welder a beginner would select.
A MIG (metal inert gas) is one of the simplest welders to learn when starting out. A MIG uses a spool of wire to weld. Once the trigger is rolled and the wire touches the object to be welded a circuit is completed and melts the welding wire. Also while this is happening an inert gas is being let out by the welder at the point of the weld to prevent gases from the air from weakening the weld.
A MIG welder is easy to weld with. Simply clamp the grounding wire to the objects to be welded, Place the end of the welding gun around one half of an inch away from the surface and pull the trigger.
An even more simple type of wire feed welder is a flux core. With this type you do not even need shielding gas as it is inside within the middle of the wire. Realize that while flux cores are easier to use and less expensive than an actual MIG welder, the welds will be much worse cosmetically. As such, a flux core is good for someone that needs a welder for practical use around the house and farm where the welds actually do not particularly matter. If you are purchasing a welder to do work on an auto body, or weld metal artwork you would most likely want to select a MIG.
Arc welders are the other main category of welders for novices. Arc welders are the easiest to weld with. Just hold a welding rod in one of the clamps and touch the items to be welded. This completes a circuit, melts the rod and welds the items together.
Arc welders usually have more penetration than MIG or flux cores, but they are more difficult to weld with. The positives of arc welders are that they are fairly inexpensive and they create tough welds when used correctly. You can also select an arc welder for around 100 bucks that is appropriate for hobby use.
Overall either a MIG or an arc welder would be a great choice for someone that is just beginning to learn how to weld. To read and learn more about specific welders please visit welder reviews .

Are we really thinking the electric car scenario through, are not we missing some other key points of contention? You know, such as what to do with 100 million discarded batteries in the next 10-years in our landfills? We are already complaining about cell phone and laptop batteries in our dumps, what about 30 batteries per car filled with lithium, which is considered a metal, and it is a neurotoxin too.
Check with the EPA online, and see for yourself.
Did you know when an electric car gets in a wreck and the batteries are ruptured they have to call out a hazmat team. Did you know nickel metal hydride batteries are a severe environmental problem because they contain heavy metal? Did you know even if your regular car gets in a wreck, and the battery starts leaking that is a serious issue; This is because there is sulfuric acid inside the batteries, no, it's not a huge deal but to permits it is. Ion-lithium batteries are also quite bad for the environment.
So what happens if someone buys one of these $ 110,000 Tesla sports cars and can not handle the 3.5 seconds to 60 mph acceleration, and duly crashes their car into something like an immovable object? I guess they'll have to call up a hazmat team, so much for helping the environment. But if you happen to live in the State of Colorado, they are giving a $ 42,000 tax credit if you buy a Tesla electric car.
So, we can expect to see lots electric cars in Colorado, and when the roads get into icy conditions they are sure going to keep the hazmat teams busy are not they? Please consider all this.
If there is one thing that the Internet has promoted, it is the large amount of scams out there; one of the oldest is the Tesla generator scam. The idea is that Tesla invented a way to collect free energy and the electric companies have been keeping this power producing device a secret in order to keep making money.
Tesla was an inventor and electrical engineer in the late 1800s and early 1900s. As an inventor he helped to develop most of what became modern electrical systems. If it was not for Tesla the modern electric grid used by most of us would not have been invented. The problem with Tesla was that he was also just a bit on the outside of the belief systems of most scientists of the times. This is why he is associated with things like the Tesla generator scam, and other hoaxes that float around the internet.
There has been a belief for a long time that it is possible to collect the free energy that flows around the universe.
Being able to generate our own energy would put the electric companies out of business, and whenever there are large money-making entities like the electric companies of the world, there will be people who want to believe hoaxes like the Tesla generator scam. While the truth is that there is free energy from the universe flowing around us all every day, there is not enough to actually power anything that requires electricity. On their best day the numerous free energy generators out there actually lose energy faster than they create it. The first sign that the Tesla generator scam is just that a scam is that if someone really had these plans, they would either donate them to mankind as a way to better the planet, or the more likely scenario, sell them to the highest bidder and retire.
Does it really make sense that all you have to do is buy plans off a web site and never need electricity again. OK, so that is why there has to be a conspiracy, otherwise all the billionaires that earn their money from the buying and selling of energy would be out of business. The problem with the Tesla generator scam is that the only people making any money are the ones that are willing to prey on those that are extremely gullible or the extremely paranoid of every conspiracy theory that comes along.
While most of the people who would fall for the Tesla generator scam, will tell you tall tales about secret societies that actually run the world and the fact that we are all just not aware of what is really happening, the truth is that there is nothing that has been hidden from anyone.
The real victims of things like the Tesla generator scam are the people who fork over hard-earned cash for a piece of paper with plans for something scientific looking. The maker of this and all scams spend about three cents to print things they sell for twenty bucks. Now there is a conspiracy, this group of unscrupulous people stealing money from the hopeful.
Well, the other day I saw my first Tesla electric car out in public, it was here in our California town. And yes, I drive a little red sports car myself, so when it pulled up to the signal I rev'ed my engine letting the driver know I wanted to race, he got me the nod and smiled. Boy, did I feel stupid when that light turned green and I watch that car accelerate past me like I was standing still. Now then, my car is pretty fast, and I timed the light just right, thanks to my fast reflexes, but that did not matter much as that little Tesla car went by me like I was standing still.
Neverheless, the gentleman driving was an older man, and I bet his reflexes are not as fast as mine and he was through the intersection and down the road quite a ways and he had hit his brakes pretty hard because someone pulled out in front of him . When I got home, I looked on the Internet to see just how fast the Tesla car from 0 to 60; It said 3.5 seconds. "Oh my God," I once had a GSXR 750 slingshot crotch rocket motorcycle and it was fully raced out, and it went from 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds. Do you even comprehend how fast that is?
If this car went any faster it would be dragster, seriously, this car is absolutely dangerous for someone who does not have the skill and reflexes to drive it. They should require anyone buying this vehicle to go to race car school, and they should have to pass a more advanced drivers test. If not, this Tesla car acceleration; is just flat dangerous in my opinion. Therefore, I can not recommend anyone buying this Tesla race car, unless they have the balls and the skill to drive it. Indeed, I hope you'll please consider this.
One time when I was a young boy I saw a documentary on TV, that happened to show a large tesla coil in operation at some college, from that moment on the Tesla Coil bug had bitten me. I knew someday I would have to own one of these wonderful devices. The loud noise, the powerful arcs of flowing electric was absolutely amazing. Now that I am getting older, I am the proud owner of three tesla coils, a wimhurst machine, van de graff generator, odin coil, and other high voltage devices.
Before I start telling you how a tesla coil works, I should take a little time to tell you about it's inventor, Nikola Tesla. Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856, was an inventor, a mechanical and an electrical engineer. Born in Smiljan, Croatian Krajina, Austrian Empire, he was an ethnic Serb subject of the Austrian Empire and later became an American citizen. Tesla invented numerous things and had acquired around 300 patents worldwide for his ideas. Some of Tesla's patents include such amazing devices as the AC motor, bifilar coil, various devices that use rotating magnetic fields, AC polyphase power distribution system, wireless communication devices, radio frequency oscillators, voltage magnification by standing waves, robotics, logic gates for secure radio frequency communications, devices for x-rays, apparatus for ozone generation, devices for ionized gases, devices for high field emissions, devices for charged particle beams, means for increasing the intensity of electrical oscillations, voltage multiplication circuitry, devices for high voltage discharges , devices for lightning protection, the bladeless turbine, and many more.
If you do some searching on the internet or other sources for tesla coils, most places try to explain these devices in terms that only a physics expert can understand. I have broken down the tesla coil into it's 6 main parts or components, with easy to understand terminology on the operation. The 6 main components are the transformer, capacitor, spark gap, primary coil, secondary coil and discharge sphere.
The TRANSFORMER takes 110 volt wall socket current or current from another source, and steps it up to several thousand volts (depending on the transformer). CAPACITOR – Acts like a battery, and takes the stepped-up voltage and stores it until it's fully charged. Once fully charged, the SPARK-GAP fires, releasing all of the capacitors stored energy in a sngle strong burst or pulse. From the SPARK-GAP, the current flows to the large PRIMARY COIL. The PRIMARY COIL, is usually made from thick copper wire or even pipe, consisting of 5-25 turns or coils. This large copper coil produces a strong magntic field as the current flows through it, the current is then picked up by the SECONDARY COIL. The SECONDARY COIL, acts like another transformer, and consist of numerous turns or coils of smaller gauge copper wire. Here the current continues building by the effects of the magnetic field on the copper, until it reaches massive voltage levels. This current moves up into the DISCHARGE SPHERE. The DISCHARGE SPHERE also acts like a simple capacitor (storage battery), before discharging the current as sparks and corona.

The new Tesla electric car is hot! But, as the company website proudly claims, "it burns rubber, not gasoline!"
This is not just any old electric car. The Tesla electric car is a beauty and definitely one of a kind. It comes with a Lotus designed chassis and has better acceleration than a Lamborghini Murcielago.
The Tesla is more than twice as fuel efficient as the best hybrid car. It only costs about a penny a mile to drive, goes up to 250 miles on a single charge and all you have to do is plug it in every night like you do your cell phone or iPod.
Who said electric cars were not fun?
Ever since the early days of automobiles over a hundred years ago, electric cars have always been considered to be dull and boring. Oh sure, an electric car was fine if you only had a short commute or had to shop at the local grocery and could not get there by foot or bicycle. But they were slow, ugly and barely more than glorified golf carts.
But two Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, have changed all that forever. They've designed an electric car that's exciting to drive and gorgeous to look at!
The Tesla Roadster is a 100% electric, two-seater convertible that goes from zero to 60 mph in about 4 seconds, with a top speed of around 130 mph. It also has no clutch and a wide, flat torque curve, which means no matter which of the two gears you're driving in or how fast you're going, acceleration is instantaneous.
Whether you're at a stoplight or on the interstate and want to pass the car in front of you, just step on the pedal and off you go like a shot.
The Toyota Prius, on the other hand, which is the best selling hybrid, takes over ten seconds to go from zero to 60. Of course, the Prius is not a sports car, but this comparison will give you an idea of just how efficient and well engineered an electric car can be. For example, the Tesla electric motor has only one moving part, yet it still cranks out 248 hp.
The car's energy comes from 6,831 lithium ion batteries. These are the same batteries you use to charge your laptop or cell phone. It comes with a portable charging pack – in case you're traveling more than 125 miles from home – and the batteries only take about 3 1/2 hours to fully charge.
By the way, the batteries are recyclable and Tesla guarantees them for five years or 100,000 miles.
However, if you want the thrill of owning the new Tesla, it's going to cost you a 100 grand. But, if all goes according to plan, the price will come down as more cars are sold. They've already got a second more affordable sports sedan in the works.
In the past, electric cars were designed by people who believed you should not be driving at all and, if you were, you should be punished. It's no wonder they never talk on. But the Tesla electric car promises a "sweet" future!
In the past, people have dreamed of what the future might look like. Imagine how people might live in a time when advanced technology provides the solution for today's health problems. Can you imagine chronic pain due to illness, injury, surgery, old age and the trauma of incurable health problems in the US and indeed the world in 2014 being cured? I would have to say that it was the most horrible untreatable health problems that create a gloomy life for those with health problems.
The key to healing the body and creating wellness is the PEMF advanced secret miracle technology that is revolutionizing the way doctors treat pain. However there are many dissimilar devices available, there is very little information explaining what makes one PEMF device better than any other. We have found numerous confusing numbers and perplexing scientific terms when we endeavored to unearth the real difference among all PEMF machines. You know, the kind of information you find in a sales pitches! That's why; we are cultivating and researching the PEMF devices, to clear the fog surrounding PEMF devices in the market today!
PEMF is a device which runs on the principle of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy.
Nikola Tesla was the first modern individual to be recognized for manipulating electromagnetic fields for health purposes. His methods and patents in the early 1900s for the Tesla coil were also used for electromagnetic medical devices. The devices back then were extremely large round solenoid coils of wire that would surround the patient while they would stand or lie on a bed. They were energized directly from the 50 or 60 Hz sine wave electrical system. And truth is told the patient would actually experience an immediate relief in pain. Tesla's methods for electro-therapy were originally carried out by electricians who wanted to commercialize electricity although electro-therapeutic devices typically fell out of favor with doctors when educators in western medical schools chose to only educate medical students in the use of pharmaceuticals and surgery (a result of the infamous Flexner Report 1910).
Additionally a concerted effort by the pharmaceutical industry to discredited electromagnetic therapy caused it to be branded as "quackery" and electrical medical devices were only to be considered for diagnostic purposes such as X-ray. Tesla's advances were quickly forgotten. The same could be said of the work of Georges Lakhovsky and his multi-wave oscillator (MWO). By the 1920s, Lakhovsky had clinics all over Europe, delivering his electromagnetic therapy oscillatory, or "vibration" therapy. Lakhovsky's method was so successful he was approached by several hospitals in New York hoping to test his apparatus experimentally. Remarkable results were obtained from a seven-week clinical trial performed at a major New York City hospital and that of a prominent Brooklyn urologist in the summer of 1941. What seemed like a promising development in the use of the MWO in America quickly fashed after Lakhovsky unexpectedly died in New York in 1942 (age 73). A car stuck and killed him in a most mysterious manner. His equipment was removed from the hospital and patients were told that the therapy was no longer available. This murder we believe to be Maurice Fishbein (the AMA) and Big Pharmaceutical is in my opinion the reason for this awful act.
You see the pharmaceutical companies and doctors figured out that they could make a lot of money "treating" people, not making them well, and then getting someone else to pay for it. They continue to ruthlessly discredit valuable therapies that threaten profits. Although in the countries not under the sway of Big Pharmaceutical companies, like the former Soviet Union, electromagnetic therapy did not die out, but was further developed and is still widely deployed through hospitals. Their scientists learned that when magnetic fields are pulsed, the result was significantly enhanced. It covered the innate vibration of a wider range of cells and tissues, Lakhovsky would probably have said.
We're going to go over the basics so you have a clear understanding of what is really going on during your PEMF treatment. After you know, you may find it's easier to get a sense of which kind of PEMF device will work best for you. We'll keep this short, sweet and simple so remember to take mental notes because they'll help you when we start comparing the different machines.
The first PEMF device was called a 'lightning' machine for a reason! PEMF works because it charges up your cells with electricity. Problems that the PEMF treats such as chronic pain can only happen in areas of low voltage in the body. That is, places where the cells are low on energy for any number of reasons injuries, fatigue, and illness. A PEMF machine sends extra electrical charge to those low energy areas using magnetic fields to carry it into the body. Basically, the device send a 'package' of energy into the low energy areas – think of the magnetic field as the envelope and the electricity as the message! And when the cells receive that electricity they immediately use it to heal the body – and relief can happen very quickly (within seconds to minutes) depending on the device. PEMF repairs every disease known to man!
Today the PEMF industry field has many dedicated clients that are Doctors, Chiropractors, Physical Therapy, Hospitals, Clinics, and Pain Centers and also include many Alternative Medicine consumers as well.
Now this is interesting! The home DIY energy market is booming at the moment. This boom in the search for alternative energy sources is mostly driven by the high energy prices and the need for us all to save some money. This is where the Tesla Secret comes into it's own but what is it?
A while back, I was online, just browsing through the home DIY energy market when I stumbled across a report that was based upon a creation that is even today, almost unheard of. I was frankly amazed at what I was reading and it was called "The Tesla Secret".
So what is the Tesla Secret?
The Tesla Secret is simply a way of generating endless amounts of FREE electricity from cosmic energy!
Tesla is the surname of the inventor Nikola Tesla, a true Einstein of electricity! He invented the Tesla coil which is found somewhere in almost any television set in the world!
In fact, if it was not for Tesla, microwave ovens, radars and electric motors, probably would not be with us today.
However, Tesla discovered a way to tap into an unlimited amount of electricity absolutely FREE. He named this the Tesla Generator and the secret plans and blueprints for building these energy bursting generators have only recently been discovered and released!
Only a select few have ever known about the secrets behind the Tesla Generator but these blueprints are now finally being released.
These generators are cheap to build, they are very small and best of all, they are very safe and versatile to use. They will simply revolutionize the home DIY energy market and are an essential addition to the home of any serious home energy enthusiast!


Unbelievable. For Marvel to pull this tour de force of a film is unreal. 21 films. 21 films culminating in the conclusion of endgame. The scope is incredible, I will only say it's definitely one of the best Marvel films out there, and there are many. I don't want to spoil anything. Watch it!


A bike seat is your bum's main physical interface to your bicycle making it a very important piece. Choosing a seat relies on looking at which design you think will work for you and trying it. Based off of looks a leather saddle seems like the worst thing you could choose, there's no padding and when touched it doesn't feel soft at all.
Also, leather saddles have been out since 1866, so one may think they're outdated, but what if that isn't the case, what if the design was purposeful and exact.
John Boulbtee Brooks made the first Brooks saddle at age 20, after his horse had died and he was unsatisfied with his bicycle saddle. In most likelihood, he came from a line of master leather workers who had much expertise making horse saddles which humans have ridden for millennia. Also consider the general road conditions in 1866. I believe, because of these factors John knew exactly what he was doing.
The first thing to understand about the Brooks saddle is that the finest piece of leather available is suspended by two fixing points at the front and rear of the saddle, so, compared to a modern saddle, there is no plastic bottom. With the Brooks saddle having no plastic bottom, the leather is free to flex, form and compress with your body.
To better understand the fluidity of the Brooks saddle, here is a video shot from the underside of the saddle which shows what the body is doing when pedaling.
In that video you could see how the sit bones move and that the saddle absorbs impacts, preventing pain in the bones and lower back. Also you can see how the saddle moves fluidly. Now here's a video of a quality sport saddle with a plastic bottom.
In that video can see the saddle flexes slightly, but overall it is rigid with no fluid movement. This causes all problems associated with bicycle saddles. Adding width and extra padding cause a new set of problems and it is possible that saddles only exists in this form because at some point someone decided they could cheaply mass produce a saddle that simply suffices.
Reality is a person who rides regularly will truly appreciate a leather saddle. People who ride occasionally may not need a leather saddle but could still appreciate it. Overall anyone is qualified to own a leather saddle but it may not be best for them. In some cases they're considerably heavier than other saddles and they require care, protection and adjustment which isn't overwhelming.
There are modern saddles with good designs and designed to fit people of different variety. We don't deal in absolutes, leather saddles are a great product but they're not the only product. We stock a nice variety of saddles, padded shorts coupled with tons of experience to help you choose something based off of your needs.

Almeyda and Schelotto: Two New MLS Coaches and their Distinctive Styles / March 12, 2019 by Anay Patel
Matias Almeyda and Guillermo Barros Schelotto are two of the most experienced managers in MLS history. They are also both just beginning their careers as MLS coaches.
To start his managerial career, Almeyda retired as a player and took over a River Plate side that had been relegated for the first time in club history. Immediately after that season, he led the team back to promotion with a first place finish in the second division. Almeyda did the same with Banfield in Argentina, winning his second Primera B Nacional title. At Chivas Guadalajara in 2015, Almeyda inherited another difficult situation, tasked with bringing the Mexican giant back into the spotlight. With Chivas, Almeyda won Copa MX twice, Supercopa MX, Liga MX, and CONCACAF Champions League. Now, he has embarked on a new journey with the San Jose Earthquakes, who finished in last place in 2018.
After leading the Columbus Crew to an MLS Cup as a player (he won both league MVP and Finals MVP in 2008), Guillermo Barros Schelotto started his managing career with Lanus in Argentina. He led the club to a Copa Sudamericana, the second most prestigious club competition in South America. Schelotto then signed with the club he spent most of his playing career with, Boca Juniors, and led them to two league titles.

Little Things From Week 25: Tata Tactics, and the two sides of McBean and Steres / August 22, 2018 by Harrison Hamm
Gregg Berhalter and Tata Martino provided another installment of their budding coaching rivalry on Sunday, a rivalry that will grow to the level of Jesse Marsch vs. Patrick Vieira when they inevitably meet in the conference semifinals this year.
Atlanta United and the Columbus Crew have a way of providing open, action-packed tactical chess matches. They did it again at the Benz, a 3-1 Atlanta win. The Five Stripes' talent quotient was too much for a Crew team that pales in comparison.
Tata approached the game knowing that Berhalter would have Columbus trying to pass out of pressure and play from the back. The Crew are one of the few teams to go to Atlanta and make a concerted effort to control the game. For the most part, they did an effective job of it, taking the ball off the feet of Miguel Almiron and opening chances in the other direction.
