Is Your Backup Solution Small Business-Friendly?
Backup plans are becoming a major priority across organizations of all sizes to make sure that they are able to quickly recover from any situation. However, if you're a small business, you're going to have different considerations than a large enterprise, meaning that you're not going to choose the same offering. Many decision-makers may pick the wrong system based on its success in other settings, but you must ensure that your backup solution is small business-friendly and has the tools to meet your needs.
If you start doing backups after a breach or disaster, the effort could be too little too late. Many organizations close within a year of major data loss, emphasizing that backup solutions should be proactive for SMBs. The U.S. Small Business Administration reported that in 2011, 31 percent of business owners saw backing up data as a hassle. However, solutions now offer automatic updates, taking the pressure off of managers to ensure that their information is being recorded on a regular basis. This feature will be especially critical for your SMB as you can focus on other tasks and have the peace of mind that your daily or weekly backup will be available if disaster strikes.
A small business backup solution shouldn't be complex.
When in a crisis, the last thing you want to deal with is a complicated process to retrieve your valuable information. FOX Business contributor Donna Fuscaldo noted that many smaller businesses may not have dedicated IT staff, which is why partnering with backup software company is essential. These providers offer local, knowledgeable staff to help should you need assistance during recovery. The backup support services will help you get your backups set up and configured properly, ensuring that you're able to easily access your data and get back online during a crisis situation.
If you're backing up patient data or credit card information, there are industry regulations that your backup solution will have to adhere to. Small Business Computing contributor Pam Baker noted that you should evaluate protection for both physical and virtual server environments and determine what types of security controls are included within the solution. This information will help you strive for compliance and keep your records protected.
Examining these areas will also help you choose the backup solution that offers the features and support you need. While some solutions are all-inclusive, others charge you extra for each additional application you need support for, so it's important to look at the total cost of ownership when selecting a backup solution for your small business. Know what you are paying for and what is and isn't included. If you opt to pay for only the features you need now, you can expect to pay more down the road as your requirements change. Integrating an all-inclusive solution however, will give you the greatest flexibility as it will grow with your business, without requiring you to pay more money to support your changing infrastructure.
Your business is unique, and your backup solution should be too. Finding a solution that offers you all of the features you need in one package, gives you the flexibility to backup all your data, no matter where it is stored, while allowing you to use the same solution even if your environment changes. With these considerations, you can ensure that your backup solution is small business-friendly and meets all of your major requirements.

Mike Thompson Watch
Mike Thompson Trip Financed by Saddam Hussein
(March 27, 2008)
California Congressman Mike Thompson's famous fact-finding mission to Iraq in 2002 was paid for by Saddam Hussein, according to the U.S. justice department. Representative Thompson did not know the source of the funding for the trip, which he says was approved in advance by the State Department.
Mike Thompson has consistently voted for the funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, while at times criticizing the conduct of the war by the Bush administration. According to the New York Times, "The three-man Congressional delegation was criticized on its return to Washington as having undermined the Bush administration." The other two congressment who made the trip were Jim McDermott of Washington State and David E. Bonior of Michigan.
Mthanna al-Hanooti, a naturalized American citizen, is accused of having funneled the money through Life for Relief and Development. He has been released on bail.

The information in this article applies to U.S. sellers and sellers who remit sales tax in the U.S. only.
If you're an online retailer, chances are you have to deal with sales tax.
And by "deal with sales tax" we mean register for sales tax permits, figure out when and how much sales tax to collect, and make sure you file your sales tax returns on time, every time.
It's enough to make your income tax requirements seem like an April breeze.
To add to the stress, January is an especially taxing time for online stores – pun intended.
No matter if the state(s) in which you are required to file a sales tax return asks you to file monthly, quarterly or annually, the first month of the year is traditionally a sales tax due date for just about everyone. And here you thought you were going to get to enjoy a respite after the holiday avalanche – not so fast.
Sales tax can be tricky – especially for sellers who only deal with it once a year. So to put your mind at ease, we developed a step-by-step guide to handling sales tax this January and beyond.
Sales tax nexus is just a fancy way of saying a "significant presence" in a state.
Forty-five states and the District of Columbia require merchants to collect a sales tax, and that means you, as an online seller, must collect sales tax in states where you have nexus.
Figuring out your nexus is one of the first steps a new online seller must take. It's pretty easy to see that if you operate out of a state, you have a significant presence there and thus have nexus.
But, you may also have nexus in a state if you have an office or employee there, if you store goods in a warehouse there or perhaps if you travel across state lines for a craft fair or tradeshow.
The line here can blur, making it hard to figure out where you have nexus.
A store or other physical location?
Products stored in a warehouse or other venue?
Sales at a trade show, craft fair or other physical location?
After asking yourself these questions, you'll have a list of one or more states in which you will more than likely have sales tax nexus. Check here for a list of what creates sales tax nexus in every state. If you have any questions about nexus, you should contact your state's Department of Revenue.
If you have nexus in a state, that state requires you to register for a sales tax permit before you begin collecting sales tax.
Head back over to your state's Department of Revenue (or equivalent state agency) and register for your permit to collect sales tax.
States use sales tax collected from all retailers with nexus to pay for public utilities including education, transit and more. When you register, the state will tell you when they want you to file sales tax returns and pay what you've collected back to their coffers. Most of the time they'll ask you to file either monthly, quarterly or annually.
Sometimes there's no rhyme or reason to a state's filing cadence. One state may ask you to file annually, while another wants to see a sales tax return from you monthly. Either way, filing appropriately for your state isn't something you want to forget. Most states consider it unlawful for you to collect sales tax without a permit.
Once you've determined where you have nexus and are signed up for your sales tax permit, it's time to begin collecting sales tax from customers. Remember, you only have to collect sales tax from customers in states where you have sales tax nexus.
You'll need to set up your sales tax collection through the individual channels on which you sell.
Up until this point, sales tax has been pretty straightforward, but this is where things start to get more complex.
First, you need to figure out how much sales tax you've collected from your buyers. If you only sell on BigCommerce, pulling a report detailing all the sales tax you've collected is pretty cut and dry.
Things get more complicated, however, if you sell through multiple channels – i.e. on Etsy, Amazon, eBay – or accept payments in-person or via brick-and-mortar.
Beyond pulling together your omnichannel sales information, there's still the matter of arranging the information in a way states want to see it. More than half of U.S. states are destination-based sales tax states, meaning they require sellers to charge sales tax based on the buyer's ship to address.
Then, when it comes time to file a sales tax return, they require you, the merchant, to break down how much sales tax you collected by locality, such as by county, by city or by special taxing district – or all of the above.
If you choose to do this manually, it may involve looking up the zip codes of individual sales and comparing them to a tax table for your state to determine how to code each sales tax transaction. This can be a time consuming mess.
Fortunately, technology now exists to rescue you from spreadsheets and tax tables. There are solutions out there that allow you to integrate all of your sales channels quickly and easily calculate how much sales tax you collected from customers.
These solutions will even prepare a return-ready report or file your sales tax returns for you.
Full disclosure: TaxJar is a version of such technology. BigCommerce customers can install the app here.
The next step is to file your sales tax returns with the state or states where you have nexus. Remember, if you have to deal with sales tax, you'll most likely have to file at least one sales tax return in January.
Make sure you file on time, too.
You'll receive a penalty if you're late.
Plus, some states offer a sales tax discount if you're timely.
These states include Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Step 6: Know your deadlines!
Here's a breakdown by state for when sales tax is due.
It's true: sales tax is complex. But if you can run an online store and turn a profit, then you can master this nitpicky administrative task. Do you have questions or comments about sales tax? Let us know in the comments.

In addition to her full plate of NSE classes such as 22.01 "Introduction to Nuclear Engineering and Ionizing Radiation," and 22.06 "Engineering of Nuclear Systems," Pham is engaged in research at the Collaboration for Science and Technology with Accelerators and Radiation (CSTAR), a joint laboratory of NSE and the Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC).
Pham's project, one of a number at CSTAR, is under the supervision of assistant professor Zachary Hartwig, and involves the development of a system for diagnosing materials used in tokamaks—nuclear fusion reactors. Fusion energy harnesses the power of super-hot plasma, the fuel of stars, to generate enormous amounts of energy. Tokamaks confine and control plasma through the use of magnetic fields.
At such venues as the Cambridge Science Festival, and the USA Science and Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C., Pham runs open houses intended to introduce girls both to fun science, like using lemon juice to polish a penny, and to female science and engineering role models such as herself. "Some kids ask what it's like to be a woman engineer or an MIT student, and I tell them it's really cool," she says.

Los diarios astronómicos babilónicos son una colección de textos cuneiformes babilónicos que contienen registros sistemáticos de observaciones astronómicas y eventos políticos, así como predicciones, basadas en observaciones astronómicas. También incluye otras informaciones como precios de productos básicos para fechas determinadas e informes meteorológicos.

Actualmente, se encuentran almacenados en el Museo Británico.

Se sugiere que los diarios se utilizaron como fuentes para las Crónicas de Babilonia.

Historia
Los babilonios fueron los primeros en reconocer que los fenómenos astronómicos son periódicos y en aplicar las matemáticas a sus predicciones. El texto astronómico significativo más antiguo conocido es la Tablilla 63 de la colección Enûma Anu Enlil, es decir, la tablilla de Venus de Ammisaduqa, que enumera la primera y la última aparición visible de Venus durante un período de aproximadamente 21 años. Es la evidencia más temprana de que los fenómenos planetarios fueron reconocidos como periódicos.

Los registros sistemáticos de fenómenos de mal agüero en los diarios astronómicos, comenzó durante el reinado de Nabonassar (747–734 a. C.), cuando se produjo un aumento significativo en la calidad y frecuencia de las observaciones astronómicas. Eso permitió, por ejemplo, el descubrimiento de un ciclo Saros repetido de eclipses lunares de 18 años.

Traducción
Las traducciones de los diarios se publicaron en Astronomical Diaries and Related Texts from Babylonia  (en español:Diarios astronómicos de varios volúmenes y textos relacionados de Babilonia), editados por Abraham Sachs y Hermann Hunger.

 Volumen 1 - Diarios del 652 a. C. al 262 a . C. (, 1988).
 Volumen 2 - Diarios del 261 a. C. al 165 a . C. (, 1989).
 Volumen 3 - Diarios del 164 a. C. al 61 a . C. (, 1996).
 Volumen 4 - aún no publicado.
 Volumen 5 - Textos lunares y planetarios (, 2001), contiene datos lunares y planetarios desde el siglo VIII a.C. hasta el siglo I a.C.
 Volumen 6 - Textos del año del objetivo (, 2006), contiene datos lunares y planetarios, desde el siglo III a.C. hasta el siglo I a.C.

Test your filling levels. When happy, unzip the Funnelweb bag carefully. Be careful of static beads near surface.
Relax and Enjoy your designer Ambient Lounge bean bag!
Filling your bean bag has never been so easy.
No longer will you need to be carting massive bags around shopping centres, spilling bean bag beans all over your lovely home, wrestling with plastic bags and get half the family to help you fill or top up a bean bag. Ambient Lounge bean bag filling come in the Patented Funnelweb Zip-and-tip Bag - delivered in an environmentally friendly re-usable outer transport bag - directly to your door. It's a one person job that's quick, convenient and cheap.

The exclusive Funnelweb® zip-to-zip system that takes all of the hassle out of filling and emptying Ambient Lounge® (and Funnelweb compatible compatible) bean bag chairs. In 30 seconds, you zip your inner bag to the bean bag and zip the beads in. The advantages are not limited to convenience - caring for your bean bag cover is also easier. You can unfill and clean your cover with one person in a matter of seconds.
The funnelweb bag can also be stored INSIDE a filled bean bag for ease and convenience of unfilling.
As a guide, most Ambient Lounge standard range bean bags (such as Evolution Sofa, Studio Lounger, Conversion Lounger) take around 300 litres of filling, which can be found in a standard Funnelweb and transport bag.
Ambient Lounge Gold Class range (such as Twin Lounger, Acoustic sofa, Butterfly Sofa) take between 400 - 600 litres of beads and all have multiple filling gussets due to the Ambi-spring system.
Ambient Lounge ottomans, Pet Lounge and Versa Tables require between 150-200 litres of filling.
Despite what you might think, Bean Bag filling quality is not all the same.
Depending on you country, supplier and region, the polystyrene bean bag beans may be large or small - which will impact the way they feel and perform inside your cover.
As a general rule, the smaller the beads, the better - the more dense they are and the less they will compress after use. We recommend the use of beads 2-4 mm in diameter for the best results.
If you are looking to buy bean bag filling to refill one or more of your bean bags, please contact your local Ambient Lounge dealer. They will sell bean bag beads in a Funnelweb outer bag that conveniently zips onto your cover. Buy them for top ups or refill.
If you own a bean bag - after a while, you may find that it doesn't seem as comfortable as it used to be. This is probably because the beans have been compressed. Buy good quality polystyrene beads and bring the comfort back.
As a general rule, the smaller the beads the better. 2-4mm diameter beads are preferred size. This means the medium-term compression will be lessened, it should be much quieter and the many more 'balls' inside to give you a greater comfort/massaging effect on your body.
Remember a good quality bead means greater quality lounging.

Klopp: Brewster has 'important role' to play at Liverpool
David Blunsden / Action Plus / Getty
London - Liverpool striker Rhian Brewster has been told by manager Jurgen Klopp that he has an important role to play this season after scoring twice in a 6-0 pre-season friendly win against Tranmere.
The 19-year-old has been lined up to fill the boots vacated by Daniel Sturridge as the team's third-choice centre-forward after Roberto Firmino and Divock Origi, who has just signed a new contract.
However, Klopp wants the player to start developing his all-round game.
"I love the boy, he is fantastic player, but one of the goals I would have scored," said the manager.
"One hundred percent (it is a big season) but it depends on him as well," Klopp added. "Divock Origi stays, which is good news, Bobby Firmino is still there.
"Rhian Brewster is a top striker, he is a top talent and I have told him already that he has an important role this year but how important depends on him.
"We will see. He has to play different positions as well -- the centre, wing is possible I think. We will see how we line up, but there will be opportunities for him, I am sure."
European champions Liverpool have so far signed Dutch youngster Sepp van den Berg but are not expected to make any major signings in the transfer window.
"Rhian Brewster, (Alex) Oxlade-Chamberlain didn't play last year, all the young boys didn't play for us last year," said Klopp.
"The transfer market is open. We will see what we do, but I don't think it will be the biggest transfer window of all time."
In addition to Brewster's double there were also goals for Origi, Curtis Jones, Bobby Duncan and Nathaniel Clyne in a squad that relied heavily on youth, with a number of internationals still to return to training.

How Hot Does a Plasma Cutter Actually Get?
Plasma cutters can efficiently cut materials, whether they're thin or thick. A handheld torch can sever steel plate up to two inches in thickness. Bigger torches which are controlled by a computer can cut steel up to six inches thick. Using plasma cutters is recommended when you want to cut metals in an angled or in a curved shape.
Plasma cutting uses high frequency, high voltage spark that ionizes the air through the torch head to make an arc. This method is usually used in automotive repair, scraping operations, fabrication shops, and industrial construction.
A Plasma cutter needs to generate concentrated, extremely hot plasma to cut faster and accurately. It'll produce less distortion as well. Compared to an oxyacetylene flame which is around 6,000 degrees Fahrenheit, a plasma arc can reach 45,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
This makes plasma cutters dangerous to use. There is a great risk of being electrocuted because more voltage exists at the torch.
That is why when using one, you should wear a full face mask, proper eye protection, an apron, leather gloves, and a jacket. Wearing the recommended attire will prevent you from getting burns, eye damage, and other injuries.
Remember to use only the correct voltage for the metal you're about to cut. Aluminum requires less heat than steel. Other thicker metals require more heat as well. When cutting rusty metal like sheet metal, you'll need to add a little more voltage to help you go through the rust.
Also, maintain your plasma cutter properly by checking each part. For instance, the cover of the machine should be removed in order to brush off dust and dirt. Do this maintenance step every six months. It should be detached from the power supply after each use. You already know how hot it can get, so be careful. You will need to examine the electrode and cutting tip regularly as well. these two wear out and when they aren't replaced at the right time, you won't be able to cut properly, your travel speed will drop, and your torch head might get damaged.


OvuSense Knowledge Hub - When Does Ovulation Start?
Your menstrual cycle is made up of a number of different processes, driven by hormones released by the brain, and all focused on ovulation: either preparing for it, driving the moment itself or ensuring your body is ready to receive the resulting egg and nurture it into a foetus if it's not fertilised. Your period is the dramatic result if that egg isn't fertilised.
If you're trying to get pregnant you need to know when ovulation starts in each cycle (the temptation is to say 'each month' but cycles can vary in length from 21 to 35 days, or be irregular, which makes tracking your ovulation even more important) so you can ensure you're trying to conceive when you have the best chances of success.
Ovulation is a relatively swift process – it refers to the ejection of an egg (sometimes more than one) from your ovaries. Once ejected, that egg travels down the fallopian tubes and into the uterus – the journey is affected by whether or not the egg is fertilised. If your egg isn't fertilised within the 24 hours it's fertile for after ovulation, it passes straight through to the uterus and disintegrates, and your body begins preparations to shed the endometrial lining it's developed in case the egg does get fertilised.
If your egg encounters active sperm during that twenty-four hours it remains in the fallopian tubes for longer, spending up to three or four days in its slow journey as it begins dividing into a ball of cells that will eventually become a foetus. The additional time before it passes into the uterus gives your body the chance to develop a thick, endometrial lining that the egg can embed into for a healthy pregnancy.
This key process starts, on average, two weeks after your last period ended. The key word there is 'average'. There is no easy, one size fits all answer to the question 'When do I start to ovulate?'. Some women have very regular cycles, but cycle length can vary from 21 days at the shortest to 35 at the longest, while other women have irregular cycles, and may have a very short one, followed by a 35 day wait for their next period. On top of that, even if your cycle is normally very regular, ovulation can be affected by illness, medication and even stress, so any individual month might not fit the pattern.
OvuSense can give you a definitive notification of when you start ovulating using your Basal Body Temperature. By measuring your core temperature through the night with a specialised sensor, and using a computer backed algorithm, we can turn that data into answers, and even a prediction that tells when you're due to start ovulating next!

Flooded vehicles expected to hit state's used car market | Local & State | overtoncountynews.com Some NY Clerks Won't Give Licenses to Those in US Illegally – NBC New York
On May 7, 2019 · Blog
Rivian, the buzzy automaker promising an electric pick-up truck by late 2020, had state lawmakers' attention during the legislative session — if only for a few minutes.
In those moments during a House committee hearing last month, a representative from the Michigan company shared that Colorado has a special place in the company's future.
"In fact, Rivian has already planned to open its first ever store, worldwide, in the state of Colorado," Rivian's Vice President of Public Policy Jim Chen said when he testified on April 18 in support of a bill to let electric vehicle manufacturers sell directly to consumers.
The bill failed, and it's uncertain whether Rivian will move forward with a Colorado store. But electric vehicles are of high interest to policymakers who passed several other proposals aimed at encouraging consumers to buy zero-emission autos. Parking authorities can now ticket automobiles blocking electric vehicle charging spots. Another measure lets public utilities invest in charging stations and recover the costs from customers. And tax incentives on EV purchases was extended. All three await Gov. Jared Polis' signature.

Curious code strings Brazilian developer Guilherme Rambo has managed to unearth from the watchOS 4.3.1 beta could hint at future support for third-party faces on Apple Watch.
Although each new major iteration of Apple's wearable operating system brings some fresh new faces along with new complications and other enhancements, Apple thus far has refused to open up faces for third-party development. Apple did partner with some major companies on branded watch faces, including Disney and Pixar characters.
Users have also been able to create custom slideshow-type faces from their photos.
Many users have been asking for third-party watch faces. Apple could have done it already but my guess is they wisely chose to postpone this capability until a faster Apple Watch processor became available. This is important because you want those custom faces to be performant and battery-friendly. We don't want a misbehaving face slowing down our wrist computer.
Apple will be previewing watchOS 5 and other major software updates at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June, but it remains to be seen if they're ready to share news regarding third-party watch faces.
Should Apple prioritize support for third-party watch faces in watchOS 5?

The Saturday before Thanksgiving, Lisa Leek took her
students on a field trip to Washington to see the Na-tional
Gallery of Art. Those who have never been
there are missing one of our country's greatest assets to the
arts.
The National Gallery of Art was created for the people of
the United States pf America by a joint resolution- of Con-gress,
accepting the gifts of financier and art collector An-drew
W. Mellon. During the 1920's, Mr. Mellon began to
collect with the intention of foniiing a national gallery of
art in Washington. His collection was promised to the na-tion
in 1937, the year of his death. Funds for the construc-tion
of the original (West) building wete provided by The
A.W. Mellon Educational and Charitable Trust. On March
17,1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt accepted the com-pleted
building and the collection on behalf of the people of
the United States of America.
Andrew Mellon's hope that the newly created National
Gallery would attract gifts from other collectors was soon
realized in the form of major donations of art from Samuel
H. Kress, Rush H. Kress, Joseph Widener, Chester Dale,
Ailsa Mellon Bruce, Lessing J. Rosenwald, and Edgar Wil-liam
and Bernice Chrysler Garbisch, as well as individual
gifts from hundreds of other donors.
In the West building, European paintings and sculpture, from
the thirteenth centuries, and American art are on the main
floor. On the ground floor are galleries of prints, drawings,
sculpture, decorative arts, and temporary exhibitions; also
the Garden Cafe' , the West Building sales shop, and the
West Building lecture hall. In the East Building, Twentieth
Century art and a changing series of special exhibitions are
shown. The National Gallery of Art is located between 3rd
and 7th Streets NW, on Constitution Avenue. The hours are
Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Sundays 11 a.m.-

Gordie's Story: How Foot Treatment at UPMC Helped Him Reach the Finish Line
Chronic lower-body problems stemming from a high school foot injury kept Gordie Dunlap from running for almost 40 years.
But after signing up for a 14-mile trail race in north central Pennsylvania, Gordie went through the necessary training. Then, with just days to go until the race, his foot problems popped up again.
A phone call to his primary care physician allowed Gordie to get an appointment with Stephanie Florence, DPM, foot and ankle surgeon, UPMC Wellsboro. There, he received the treatment he needed to reach the finish line.
"I'm truly grateful to Dr. Florence's staff for making her so readily available against all odds," says Gordie, a graphic designer at Garrison Hughes, Inc.*
A High School Injury
Gordie joined his high school's cross country team as a junior in 1981 and competed for the next two years.
He improved at a steady pace, beating his previous best time with each passing competition. He would write a time goal on his wrist before each race and surpass it.
"I was setting goals, meeting them, and loving the fact that I was hitting these benchmarks of times that I wanted to beat," he says.
Then, in one of the final races of his high school career, it happened.
Gordie set a new personal-best time, but it came at a cost. He suffered a foot injury during the race that left him in serious pain.
He didn't know it until years later, but he had suffered a stress fracture in the metatarsals of his left foot.
"I could hardly walk," he says. "It felt like my foot was splitting in two."
Although the pain subsided in time to let Gordie run one final race in high school, he wasn't able to train for it. As a result, he posted a disappointing time.
"I was really, really discouraged," he says. "I'm not a sports guy, and here was something I found, a sport I could really do, and this really put a damper on it."
Four Decades of Frustration
Over the next 40 years, Gordie tried to return to the sport of running several times. He would buy new shoes and start a running routine.
But time after time, new injuries would pop up: foot, ankle, knee, lower back, and so on. Those injuries ended his running comebacks almost as quickly as they began.
After it happened yet again in 2018, he thought his running days were over.
"It was like a concrete wall, to the point where I just completely gave up on ever running again," he says.
How a Mistake Led to a Comeback
In May 2022, a former co-worker encouraged him to register for the Hyner View Trail Challenge. The event, scheduled for April 2023, is a forest trail run/hike with climbs and descents. Although the event is difficult, participants can go at their own pace.
As an avid hiker, he decided to sign up. But when he went to the challenge's website, he accidentally signed up for a different event: the Hyner Half Plus — a 14-mile trail race that was scheduled for Aug. 27, 2022.
Unlike the Hyner View Trail Challenge, the Hyner Half Plus has a time limit. And because it was scheduled for late August, Gordie only had a few months to train instead of a full year.
"My stomach did one of those flips as I realized what I was up against," he says. "I probably could have just called them and explained, 'I screwed up,' but there was something about it that made me want to actually go ahead and do this."
Seeing that the Hyner Half Plus allowed participants to "speed hike" the course, Gordie began training to do that. For the first month, he "walked, and walked, and walked."
After experiencing no problems, he decided to see if he could increase his pace. So he developed a form that he calls "old man running."
"It's basically just super-slow jogging," he says. "My kids were super embarrassed by me doing this, but I didn't care."
Over the next couple of months, he continued to improve and was able to start running faster and faster.
"It went better than I ever would have imagined," he says.
A Setback During the Comeback
In early August, it happened again. Gordie was in the middle of a 4-mile run when he took a step and felt a sharp pain in his left foot.
"I was taking a downstep onto an area of grass, and then, bang!" he says. "A sudden, sharp pain in the ball of my left foot. All I could think was, 'Oh, no — stress fractures.'"
He finished the run, but he felt the pain several more times. Nervous about whether he'd be able to compete in the Hyner Half Plus, he called his UPMC Wellsboro primary care physician, Judy Tubbs, CRNP. She connected him with Dr. Florence's office, who scheduled him for an appointment.
Dr. Florence diagnosed Gordie with metatarsalgia, pain and inflammation in the ball of his foot. It's a common injury from high-impact sports like running. She gave him a mild steroid shot and some stretches to help him lower the impact on his foot.
A couple of weeks later, he was ready to run in the race.
A Grueling Race to the Finish Line
The Hyner Half Plus is a difficult race with steep elevations. Gordie didn't run the entire time — the steepness of the mountains made that too difficult for most competitors — but he kept moving.
"It was very much step by step, one foot in front of the other," he says. "I wasn't worrying about the next mile, I was thinking about where my next step was landing."
He reached the finish line in 3 hours, 43 minutes — a pace of 15:04 per mile.
"I guess part of it was just remembering how much I wanted to do this and how much it meant to me personally to be able to run again," he says. "That kind of kept me going through this extremely difficult race.
"It was absolutely grueling. It was the hardest physical challenge that I've ever accomplished."
Finishing the race left Gordie with a tremendous sense of accomplishment and filled him with confidence. It led him to complete another race, a 10K in September.
Without the treatment from Dr. Florence, Gordie believes he would not have been able to run the Hyner Half Plus and continue on his running journey.
"Her office workers are miracle workers to be able to get me in there. Nothing would have happened without them," he says. "Dr. Florence is an incredibly knowledgeable and personable expert in foot and ankle care, and we are so lucky to have her in Wellsboro. To have a specialist like that locally is amazing."
Gordie has no plans to stop running anytime soon. In fact, he's already signed up for another difficult race.
"I refuse to quit running until my body, or nature, or something else tells me that it's absolutely time to stop," he says. "My intention is to keep on going as long as I possibly can.

Journalist details how FBI and DOJ covered up Bill Clinton's "sale" of U.S. nuclear warhead tech to China in the '90s
Thursday, June 25, 2020 by: Cassie B.
Tags: bill clinton, China, coverup, DOJ, espionage, FBI, missile technology, national security, nuclear weapons
(Natural News) On his Thomas Paine podcast, host Mike Moore shared information that he says a congressman handed him recently about ex-President Bill Clinton and the Chinese that is shocking and yet not all that surprising to anyone who has truly been paying attention to the actions of the former president and his inner circle.
Moore, a journalist who has worked for intel agencies such as the FBI and DEA as well as the White House and private clients, said that the information he got from the unnamed congressman had been delivered to the FBI in the late 1990s or early 2000s, but they did nothing about it – which he believes is because other high-ranking people profited from it.
A lot of the information he discusses was touched upon in The Cox Report, also known as the Report of the Select Committee on U.S. National Security and Military/Commercial Concerns with the People's Republic of China, a classified government document that outlines China's covert operations in the U.S. during the '80s and '90s.
It contained several serious allegations about nuclear weapons and China that dovetail with what Moore shared. It said that China stole the design information related to the seven most advanced thermonuclear weapons in the U.S. arsenal, and that this helped them to accelerate their own nuclear weapon development.
It also said that their upcoming nuclear weapons would use design elements stolen from the U.S. and could have comparable efficacy. According to the report, "PRC penetration of our national nuclear weapons laboratories spans at least the past several decades and almost certainly continues today. The PRC has stolen or otherwise illegally obtained U.S. missile and space technology that improves PRC military and intelligence capabilities."
Sen. Inhofe tried to push FBI and DOJ into action
Moore said that the impassioned speech given by Republican Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma on the Senate floor in March 1999 in which he talked about Clinton's responsibility for the scandal was a type of front game, placing pressure on the FBI and DOJ to see if they would act, knowing that the media would be reporting on what he said in his speech.
Inhofe stated that the Clinton Administration undermined U.S. national security in pursuit of its "misguided foreign policies and self-serving domestic political agendas."
He said that the theft of the W-88 nuclear warhead was "a story with life and death implications for millions of Americans," and he explained how Clinton was directly responsible for covering it up.
The W-88 design information was stolen in the late 1980s, but the theft was discovered in 1995 under the Clinton administration, who covered it up from Congress and the population.
He also said that Clinton signed waivers that allowed the aerospace company of his top campaign fundraiser to transfer American missile guidance technology to China.
Perhaps most disturbingly, he said that Clinton "single-handedly" put a halt to the deployment of a national missile defense system, thereby exposing everyone in the country to a missile attack and leaving us with no defense to an intercontinental ballistic missile.
Did Ron Brown know too much?
He also talked about how Clinton approved changing the licensing authority for high technology like satellites from the State Department to the Commerce Department, going against advice from his Secretaries of Defense and State at the time. This made it easier for China to get its hands on U.S. missile technology.
As an interesting aside, Moore points out that this put the responsibility under the control of Clinton's then-Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, who was investigated for corruption and had been threatening to testify against Clinton when he was killed in a mysterious 1996 plane crash in Croatia. He believes he was probably about to talk about what he knew or was already doing so when the convenient accident took place.
Inhofe also spoke a few months later in a second speech about topics that coincide with some of the other intel Moore has received. Inhofe continued pressing his case to the public and the media since they were still not getting anywhere with the FBI and DOJ.
In that speech, he talked about how Clinton and Gore helped China to enhance its nuclear payload delivery systems by transferring legacy codes to China with data on 50 years of our nuclear weapon testing and development. He also talked about the theft of some "classified" information relating to thermonuclear weapons that the Clinton administration determined can't even be made public. It is scary to imagine what that could be about considering what has been made public.
Of course, by helping China, Clinton was also helping North Korea and Iran as China duplicated the technology and weapons and sold it to these rogue nations. In other words, Moore says, we have the Clinton administration to thank for the threats we face from these countries today.
You can hear more details about the FBI protection racket and the involvement of Robert Mueller, Louis Freeh and James Comey in episode 28 of the Thomas Paine podcast here.
While the media continues to act like Russia is such a big threat to our nation, Moore maintains that China is the real threat. Clinton essentially sold the U.S. out to China, he says, allowing a major enemy of America to acquire missile and nuclear technology that could well be used against us by China or one of the countries they shared it with, and no one has ever been truly held accountable for it.

Als Jocs Olímpics d'Estiu de 1932 realitzats a la ciutat de Los Angeles (Estats Units) es disputà una prova, en categoria masculina, d'hoquei sobre herba. Aquesta fou la quarta vegada que aquest esport formà part del programa olímpìc, sent la primera que ho feia de forma consecutiva, i del qual ja no n'ha quedat mai més exclosa. La competició es dugué a terme entre els dies 4 i 11 d'agost de 1932.

Comitès participants
Participaren un total de 39 jugadors de tan sols tres comitès nacionals, renunciant sobretot les poderoses seleccions europees pel gran cost del viatge.

The charity said legal pornographic sites had also been attacked to redirect visitors to the illegal material.
It said the offending material was sometimes accompanied by malware.
The IWF told BBC Radio 5 Live that it had received 227 reports about the trend over the past six weeks.
Some of the complaints were about the same examples.
The IWF said more than two dozen businesses across the world had had the servers they used compromised, in addition to the furniture seller.
The IWF said it did not know what had motivated the perpetrators to do this.
"We hadn't seen significant numbers of hacked websites for around two years, and then suddenly in June we started seeing this happening more and more," said the IWF's technical researcher Sarah Smith.
The IWF said the Hazell and Bridger cases had led to a 42% increase in the number of reports it had received in the past three months compared with the same period last year.

Former winner Howell drops out with injury
Actor Hugh Grant had to play three holes by himself in the team competition at Carnoustie today after professional partner, David Howell, winner in 2013, was forced to pull out of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship after nine holes because of a wrist injury.
Stuart Manley, the English professional heading up the stand-by list, was summoned from St Andrews and joined Grant on the 12th tee.
"I had never met Stuart before today and suddenly we were partners and had six holes of our round to go," said Grant. "It's a real shame for David who is a very good friend of mine."

2010: BUCCS MAKE STATEMENT AGAINST ANSONIA
NOVEMBER 5, 2010 – COVINGTON
Nothing bothered Covington.
If it got a penalty? So what. If Ansonia scored? Who cares? If it committed a turnover or it started to snow? Big deal.
Nothing was going to get in the Buccaneers' way of moving on to 11-0, and they proved that with a 49-6 drubbing of Ansonia at Smith Field Friday night in a Division VI, Region 24 quarterfinal.
The Buccs picked up 430 yards of rushing and held Brandon Liette — the Cross County Conference Player of the Year — to a 4.77 yards-per-carry average and left the rest of the Ansonia offense helpless.
"Not in a million years," Covington coach Dave Miller said when asked if he imagined a win like this. "After the first game we played with them (28-21 Covington), their tradition, the players they have there … our kids just came ready to play.
"The effort they put forth was amazing. They did that to a very good football team. That is something to be proud of."
But the way the Buccs did it was even more remarkable.
Early on, it was no big deal. The Buccs held Ansonia to a three-and-out and took a drive seven plays and 66 yards, capped on a 38-yard run by Isaiah Winston, who took a keeper up the middle, cut left and was gone, to make it 7-0.
Sam Earick picked off a Derek Bubeck pass on Ansonia's next possession, but Winston ended up fumbling that away to give the Tigers possession at their own 29. As the Tigers (9-2) started to drive, it was obvious the game was in the hands of Liette, who gained 167 yards on 35 carries. He never carried the ball for more than 12 yards on any run and only gained 10-or-more yards twice.
"The defense was ready," Miller said. "They read their keys and swarmed to the ball. They did a great job because Liette is a hard runner. It was a great team effort."
The Buccs came up big again on defense, forcing a fourth-and-five interception by Dylan Owens.
Tyler Noffsinger follows the block of Ben Wilson for a long gain.
Covington converted that possession with the first of Tyler Noffsinger's many impressive runs. Noffsinger took an option pitch to the right, outran the man to the corner only to cut up the field and find no one there. He had to break a tackle at the 15 to get in, but the 52-yard run gave Covington a 14-0 advantage as Steven Blei made the second of his seven PATs on the night.
"I got great blocks," Noffsinger said. "I give all the yards to my line (Brandon Powell, Sam Christian, Brian Olson, Blei and Ben Wilson). After that, I just keep my legs moving and just focused on one thing, the end zone."
And then the Buccs began to roll.
Behind Noffsinger's 217 yards on nine carries, the Buccaneer offense scored three more times in the second quarter, putting the game away by the half.
"We didn't let anything get to us," Noffsinger said. "We kept our heads up and we kept fighting."
Noffsinger broke a 61-yard run right after a 15-yard penalty made it first-and-25, and Winston scored from 42 yards two plays after a penalty made it first-and-28 to make it 28-0.
"We wanted to win and go on," Winston said of the reason the Buccs never got bogged down by mistakes.
Winston, making his first start at quarterback in the playoffs, said he was nervous going in, but his hard running made it look like he had done it all before.
"It was exciting, but I was pretty nervous," Winston said. "It all went back to practice and the coaches always telling us to run as hard as you can."
Ansonia finally got itself on the board when Liette threw a halfback pass to a wide-open Chris Walters for a 15-yard score, capping a 12-play, 65-yard drive with just 17 seconds remaining in the half.
Still, that didn't matter to the Buccs as A.J. Ouellette took the ensuing kickoff and handed it to Noffsinger — who took it 80 yards to make it 35-6 at the half.
The Buccaneer defense was dominant against Ansonia.
Last season against Ansonia in the playoffs, Noffsinger rushed for 198 yards on 11 carries, scored twice on the ground and threw a touchdown pass, as well.
"Both of those guys can run," Miller said of Noffsinger and Winston (112 yards rushing and 34 yards passing). "Cory Ely (100 yards on 19 carries) is a different type of runner, but the offensive line did a great job. We always talk about the line getting us the first five yards and the backs taking over from there."
While the Covington offense stalled on the first possession of the second half, it took the next two drives right down the field for scores.
The first came on a 69-yard run by Noffsinger to make it 42-6 and the second on a 5-yard sweep by Kyler Deeter with eight seconds left in the third quarter to make the finally tally 49-6.
Deeter's touchdown run was a microcosm of the game for the Buccs, as the pitch was high and bounced on the frozen ground once, but he managed to control it and race to the outside to beat the Tigers to the pylon for the touchdown.
"We practiced really hard this week," Noffsinger said. "We just came in with a great mindset."
The Buccs will face Lehman (10-1) — a 42-0 winner over Lockland — in the second round of the playoffs next Friday night. The location is yet to be determined.
"We are ready for them," Winston said.
Because to this team, it doesn't really matter what happens. They'll just move on to the next play.

We reached another milestone in the construction of MV Strannik yesterday and are closing in on the delivery date. Yesterday a crane lifted the main and mizzen masts into position. Some of the work of securing them was completed before the start of a week long holiday in China. There is not a lot left to do now, sea trails will begin on the 9th October and the final commissioning of he suite of electronic gear will also begin about the same time. Our plans for post-delivery are firming up and we expect to release an "Expedition Calendar" within the next couple weeks. I know many of you have been wondering where we are going what we are planning, hopefully this will answer your questions.
