Identify the divisions of the upper limb and describe the bones in each region
List the bones and bony landmarks that articulate at each joint of the upper limb
The upper limb is divided into three regions. These consist of the arm, located between the shoulder and elbow joints; the forearm, which is between the elbow and wrist joints; and the hand, which is located distal to the wrist. There are 30 bones in each upper limb. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm, and the ulna (medially) and the radius (laterally) are the paired bones of the forearm. The base of the hand contains eight bones, each called a carpal bone, and the palm of the hand is formed by five bones, each called a metacarpal bone. The fingers and thumb contain a total of 14 bones, each of which is a phalanx bone of the hand.
The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region (Figure 11.2.1). At its proximal end is the head of the humerus. This is the large, round, smooth region that faces medially. The head articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint. The margin of the smooth area of the head is the anatomical neck of the humerus. Located on the lateral side of the proximal humerus is an expanded bony area called the greater tubercle. The smaller lesser tubercle of the humerus is found on the anterior aspect of the humerus. Both the greater and lesser tubercles serve as attachment sites for muscles that act across the shoulder joint. Passing between the greater and lesser tubercles is the narrow intertubercular groove (sulcus), which is also known as the bicipital groove because it provides passage for a tendon of the biceps brachii muscle. The surgical neck is located at the base of the expanded, proximal end of the humerus, where it joins the narrow shaft of the humerus. The surgical neck is a common site of arm fractures. The deltoid tuberosity is a roughened, V-shaped region located on the lateral side in the middle of the humerus shaft. As its name indicates, it is the site of attachment for the deltoid muscle.
Figure 11.2.1. Humorous and elbow joint. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. It articulates with the radius and ulna bones of the forearm to form the elbow joint.
Distally, the humerus becomes flattened. The prominent bony projection on the medial side is the medial epicondyle of the humerus. The much smaller lateral epicondyle of the humerus is found on the lateral side of the distal humerus. The roughened ridge of bone above the lateral epicondyle is the lateral supracondylar ridge. All these areas are attachment points for muscles that act on the forearm, wrist, and hand. The powerful grasping muscles of the anterior forearm arise from the medial epicondyle, which is thus larger and more robust than the lateral epicondyle that gives rise to the weaker posterior forearm muscles.
The distal end of the humerus has two articulation areas, which join the ulna and radius bones of the forearm to form the elbow joint. The more medial of these areas is the trochlea, a spindle- or pulley-shaped region (trochlea = "pulley"), which articulates with the ulna bone. Immediately lateral to the trochlea is the capitulum ("small head"), a knob-like structure located on the anterior surface of the distal humerus. The capitulum articulates with the radius bone of the forearm. Just above these bony areas are two small depressions. These spaces accommodate the forearm bones when the elbow is fully bent (flexed). Superior to the trochlea is the coronoid fossa, which receives the coronoid process of the ulna, and above the capitulum is the radial fossa (anatomical snuff box), which receives the head of the radius when the elbow is flexed. Similarly, the posterior humerus has the olecranon fossa, a larger depression that receives the olecranon process of the ulna when the forearm is fully extended.
Ulna
The ulna is the medial bone of the forearm. It runs parallel to the radius, which is the lateral bone of the forearm (Figure 11.2.2). The proximal end of the ulna resembles a crescent wrench with its large, C-shaped trochlear notch. This region articulates with the trochlea of the humerus as part of the elbow joint. The inferior margin of the trochlear notch is formed by a prominent lip of bone called the coronoid process of the ulna. Just below this on the anterior ulna is a roughened area called the ulnar tuberosity. To the lateral side and slightly inferior to the trochlear notch is a small, smooth area called the radial notch of the ulna. This area is the site of articulation between the proximal radius and the ulna, forming the proximal radioulnar joint. The posterior and superior portions of the proximal ulna make up the olecranon process, which forms the bony tip of the elbow.
Figure 11.2.2. Ulna and radius. The ulna is located on the medial side of the forearm, and the radius is on the lateral side. These bones are attached to each other by an interosseous membrane.
More distal is the shaft of the ulna. The lateral side of the shaft forms a ridge called the interosseous border of the ulna. This is the line of attachment for the interosseous membrane of the forearm, a sheet of dense connective tissue that unites the ulna and radius bones. The small, rounded area that forms the distal end is the head of the ulna. Projecting from the posterior side of the ulnar head is the styloid process of the ulna, a short bony projection. This serves as an attachment point for a connective tissue structure that unites the distal ends of the ulna and radius.
In the anatomical position, with the elbow fully extended and the palms facing forward, the arm and forearm do not form a straight line. Instead, the forearm deviates laterally by 5–15 degrees from the line of the arm. This deviation is called the carrying angle. It allows the forearm and hand to swing freely or to carry an object without hitting the hip. The carrying angle is larger in females to accommodate their wider pelvis.
The radius runs parallel to the ulna, on the lateral (thumb) side of the forearm (see Figure 11.2.2). The head of the radius is a disc-shaped structure that forms the proximal end. The small depression on the surface of the head articulates with the capitulum of the humerus as part of the elbow joint, whereas the smooth, outer margin of the head articulates with the radial notch of the ulna at the proximal radioulnar joint. The neck of the radius is the narrowed region immediately below the expanded head. Inferior to this point on the medial side is the radial tuberosity, an oval-shaped, bony protuberance that serves as a muscle attachment point. The shaft of the radius is slightly curved and has a small ridge along its medial side. This ridge forms the interosseous border of the radius, which, like the similar border of the ulna, is the line of attachment for the interosseous membrane that unites the two forearm bones. The distal end of the radius has a smooth surface for articulation with two carpal bones to form the radiocarpal joint or wrist joint (Figure 11.2.3 and Figure 11.2.4). On the medial side of the distal radius is the ulnar notch of the radius. This shallow depression articulates with the head of the ulna, which together form the distal radioulnar joint. The lateral end of the radius has a pointed projection called the styloid process of the radius. This provides attachment for ligaments that support the lateral side of the wrist joint. Compared to the styloid process of the ulna, the styloid process of the radius projects more distally, thereby limiting the range of movement for lateral deviations of the hand at the wrist joint.
Carpal Bones
The wrist and base of the hand are formed by a series of eight small carpal bones (see Figure 11.2.3). The carpal bones are arranged in two rows, forming a proximal row of four carpal bones and a distal row of four carpal bones. The bones in the proximal row, running from the lateral (thumb) side to the medial side, are the scaphoid ("boat-shaped"), lunate ("moon-shaped"), triquetrum ("three-cornered"), and pisiform ("pea-shaped") bones. The small, rounded pisiform bone articulates with the anterior surface of the triquetrum bone. The pisiform thus projects anteriorly, where it forms the bony bump that can be felt at the medial base of your hand. The distal bones (lateral to medial) are the trapezium ("table"), trapezoid ("resembles a table"), capitate ("head-shaped"), and hamate ("hooked bone") bones. The hamate bone is characterised by a prominent bony extension on its anterior side called the hook of the hamate bone.
A helpful mnemonic for remembering the arrangement of the carpal bones is "So Long To Pinky, Here Comes The Thumb." This mnemonic starts on the lateral side and names the proximal bones from lateral to medial (scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform), then makes a U-turn to name the distal bones from medial to lateral (hamate, capitate, trapezoid, trapezium). Thus, it starts and finishes on the lateral side.
Figure 11.2.3. Bones of the wrist and hand. The eight carpal bones form the base of the hand. These are arranged into proximal and distal rows of four bones each. The metacarpal bones form the palm of the hand. The thumb and fingers consist of the phalanx bones.
The carpal bones form the base of the hand. This can be seen in the radiograph (X-ray image) of the hand that shows the relationships of the hand bones to the skin creases of the hand (see Figure 11.2.4). Within the carpal bones, the four proximal bones are united to each other by ligaments to form a unit. Only three of these bones, the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum, contribute to the radiocarpal joint. The scaphoid and lunate bones articulate directly with the distal end of the radius, whereas the triquetrum bone articulates with a fibrocartilaginous pad that spans the radius and styloid process of the ulna. The distal end of the ulna thus does not directly articulate with any of the carpal bones.
The four distal carpal bones are also held together as a group by ligaments. The proximal and distal rows of carpal bones articulate with each other to form the midcarpal joint (see Figure 11.2.4). Together, the radiocarpal and midcarpal joints are responsible for all movements of the hand at the wrist. The distal carpal bones also articulate with the metacarpal bones of the hand.
Figure 11.2.4. Bones of the hand posterior view. This radiograph shows the position of the bones within the hand. Note the carpal bones that form the base of the hand. (credit: modification of work by Trace Meek).
In the articulated hand, the carpal bones form a U-shaped grouping. A strong ligament called the flexor retinaculum spans the top of this U-shaped area to maintain this grouping of the carpal bones. The flexor retinaculum is attached laterally to the trapezium and scaphoid bones, and medially to the hamate and pisiform bones. Together, the carpal bones and the flexor retinaculum form a passageway called the carpal tunnel, with the carpal bones forming the walls and floor, and the flexor retinaculum forming the roof of this space. The tendons of nine muscles of the anterior forearm and an important nerve pass through this narrow tunnel to enter the hand. Overuse of the muscle tendons or wrist injury can produce inflammation and swelling within this space. This produces compression of the nerve, resulting in carpal tunnel syndrome, which is characterised by pain or numbness, and muscle weakness in those areas of the hand supplied by this nerve.
Metacarpal Bones
The palm of the hand contains five elongated metacarpal bones. These bones lie between the carpal bones of the wrist and the bones of the fingers and thumb (see Figure 11.2.3). The proximal end of each metacarpal bone articulates with one of the distal carpal bones. Each of these articulations is a carpometacarpal joint (see Figure 11.2.4). The expanded distal end of each metacarpal bone articulates at the metacarpophalangeal joint with the proximal phalanx bone of the thumb or one of the fingers. The distal end also forms the knuckles of the hand, at the base of the fingers. The metacarpal bones are numbered 1–5, beginning at the thumb.
The first metacarpal bone, at the base of the thumb, is separated from the other metacarpal bones. This allows it a freedom of motion that is independent of the other metacarpal bones, which is very important for thumb mobility. The remaining metacarpal bones are united together to form the palm of the hand. The second and third metacarpal bones are firmly anchored in place and are immobile. However, the fourth and fifth metacarpal bones have limited anterior-posterior mobility, a motion that is greater for the fifth bone. This mobility is important during power gripping with the hand (Figure 11.2.5). The anterior movement of these bones, particularly the fifth metacarpal bone, increases the strength of contact for the medial hand during gripping actions.
Figure 11.2.5. Hand during gripping. During tight gripping—compare (b) to (a)—the fourth and, particularly, the fifth metatarsal bones are pulled anteriorly. This increases the contact between the object and the medial side of the hand, thus improving the firmness of the grip.
Phalanx Bones
The fingers and thumb contain 14 bones, each of which is called a phalanx bone (plural = phalanges), named after the ancient Greek phalanx (a rectangular block of soldiers). The thumb (pollex) is digit number 1 and has two phalanges, a proximal phalanx, and a distal phalanx bone (see Figure 11.2.3). Digits 2 (index finger) through 5 (little finger) have three phalanges each, called the proximal, middle, and distal phalanx bones. An interphalangeal joint is one of the articulations between adjacent phalanges of the digits (see Figure 11.2.4).
Disorders of the Appendicular System: Fractures of Upper Limb Bones
Due to our constant use of the hands and the rest of our upper limbs, an injury to any of these areas will cause a significant loss of functional ability. Many fractures result from a hard fall onto an outstretched hand. The resulting transmission of force up the limb may result in a fracture of the humerus, radius, or scaphoid bones. These injuries are especially common in elderly people whose bones are weakened due to osteoporosis.
Falls onto the hand or elbow, or direct blows to the arm, can result in fractures of the humerus (Figure 11.2.6). Following a fall, fractures at the surgical neck, the region at which the expanded proximal end of the humerus joins with the shaft, can result in an impacted fracture, in which the distal portion of the humerus is driven into the proximal portion. Falls or blows to the arm can also produce transverse or spiral fractures of the humeral shaft.
In children, a fall onto the tip of the elbow frequently results in a distal humerus fracture. In these, the olecranon of the ulna is driven upward, resulting in a fracture across the distal humerus, above both epicondyles (supracondylar fracture), or a fracture between the epicondyles, thus separating one or both epicondyles from the body of the humerus (intercondylar fracture). With these injuries, the immediate concern is compression of the artery to the forearm due to swelling of the surrounding tissues. If compression occurs, the resulting ischemia (lack of oxygen) due to reduced blood flow can quickly produce irreparable damage to the forearm muscles. In addition, four major nerves for shoulder and upper limb muscles are closely associated with different regions of the humerus, and thus, humeral fractures may also damage these nerves.
Another frequent injury following a fall onto an outstretched hand is a Colles fracture ("col-lees") of the distal radius (see Figure 11.2.6). This involves a complete transverse fracture across the distal radius that drives the separated distal fragment of the radius posteriorly and superiorly. This injury results in a characteristic "dinner fork" bend of the forearm just above the wrist due to the posterior displacement of the hand. This is the most frequent forearm fracture and is a common injury in persons over the age of 50, particularly in older women with osteoporosis. It also commonly occurs following a high-speed fall onto the hand during activities such as snowboarding or skating.
The most commonly fractured carpal bone is the scaphoid, often resulting from a fall onto the hand. Deep pain at the lateral wrist may yield an initial diagnosis of a wrist sprain, but a radiograph taken several weeks after the injury, after tissue swelling has subsided, will reveal the fracture. Due to the poor blood supply to the scaphoid bone, healing will be slow and there is the danger of bone necrosis and subsequent degenerative joint disease of the wrist.
Figure 11.2.6. Fractures of the humerus and radius. Falls or direct blows can result in fractures of the surgical neck or shaft of the humerus. Falls onto the elbow can fracture the distal humerus. A Colles fracture of the distal radius is the most common forearm fracture.
Each upper limb is divided into three regions and contains a total of 30 bones. The upper arm is the region located between the shoulder and elbow joints. This area contains the humerus. The proximal humerus consists of the head, which articulates with the scapula at the glenohumeral joint, the greater and lesser tubercles separated by the intertubercular (bicipital) groove, and the anatomical and surgical necks. The humeral shaft has the roughened area of the deltoid tuberosity on its lateral side. The distal humerus is flattened, forming a lateral supracondylar ridge that terminates at the small lateral epicondyle. The medial side of the distal humerus has the large, medial epicondyle. The articulating surfaces of the distal humerus consist of the trochlea medially and the capitulum laterally. Depressions on the humerus that accommodate the forearm bones during bending (flexing) and straightening (extending) of the elbow include the coronoid fossa, the radial fossa, and the olecranon fossa.
The forearm is the region of the upper limb located between the elbow and wrist joints. This region contains two bones, the ulna medially and the radius on the lateral (thumb) side. The elbow joint is formed by the articulation between the trochlea of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna, plus the articulation between the capitulum of the humerus and the head of the radius. The proximal radioulnar joint is the articulation between the head of the radius and the radial notch of the ulna. The proximal ulna also has the olecranon process, forming an expanded posterior region, and the coronoid process and ulnar tuberosity on its anterior aspect. On the proximal radius, the narrowed region below the head is the neck; distal to this is the radial tuberosity. The shaft portions of both the ulna and radius have an interosseous border, whereas the distal ends of each bone have a pointed styloid process. The distal radioulnar joint is found between the head of the ulna and the ulnar notch of the radius. The distal end of the radius articulates with the proximal carpal bones, but the ulna does not.
The base of the hand is formed by eight carpal bones. The carpal bones are united into two rows of bones. The proximal row contains (from lateral to medial) the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, and pisiform bones. The scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum bones contribute to the formation of the radiocarpal joint. The distal row of carpal bones contains (from medial to lateral) the hamate, capitate, trapezoid, and trapezium bones ("So Long To Pinky, Here Comes The Thumb"). The anterior hamate has a prominent bony hook. The proximal and distal carpal rows articulate with each other at the midcarpal joint. The carpal bones, together with the flexor retinaculum, also form the carpal tunnel of the wrist.
The five metacarpal bones form the palm of the hand. The metacarpal bones are numbered 1–5, starting with the thumb side. The first metacarpal bone is freely mobile, but the other bones are united as a group. The digits are also numbered 1–5, with the thumb being number 1. The fingers and thumb contain a total of 14 phalanges (phalanx bones). The thumb contains a proximal and a distal phalanx, whereas the remaining digits each contain proximal, middle, and distal phalanges.

Q: How do I create a tripcode system? How would I go about creating a tripcode system (secure) for a message board I'm custom making? I'm only using PHP and SQL.

A: Building on what Cetra said, here is an example implementation. I found.
<?php
function tripcode($name)
{
    if(ereg("(#|!)(.*)", $name, $matches))
    {
        $cap  = $matches[2];
        $cap  = strtr($cap,"&", "&");
        $cap  = strtr($cap,",", ",");
        $salt = substr($cap."H.",1,2);
        $salt = ereg_replace("[^\.-z]",".",$salt);
        $salt = strtr($salt,":;<=>?@[\\]^_`","ABCDEFGabcdef");
        return substr(crypt($cap,$salt),-10)."";
    }
}
?>

A: The wikipedia article has an outline for an algorithm you could use for the futaba channel style tripcodes:

*

*Convert the input to Shift JIS.

*Generate the salt as follows:

*

*Take the second and third characters of the string obtained by appending H.. to the end of the input.

*Replace any characters not between . and z with ..

*Replace any of the characters in :;<=>?@[]^_` with the corresponding character from ABCDEFGabcdef.

*Call the crypt() function with the input and salt.

*Return the last 10 characters. (compressional data harvest)

As for security? No tripcodes or any hash functions are completely secure from a bruteforce attack, it is more about the computation time required to replicate a tripcode

A: Why not just use cypt()'s blowfish, or a substr() of it with a unique salt. There's a lot of fast brute force programs for futaba style trips.

Honoring Fallen Santa Fe Indians
August 31, 2018 February 4, 2019 adminUncategorized
Approximately 4 weeks ago, our owner (Clay Hertenberger) who is a Santa Fe High School alumni, father of 2 current students and 1 recent graduate, presented an idea for a donation to honor two of our fallen Santa Fe Indians who were tragically lost on May 18th at Santa Fe High School; Chris Stone and Riley Garcia. Chris Stone was 17 years old, would have been a senior this year, and grew up with this varsity team. Riley Garcia was 15 years old, would have been a sophomore this year, and had just recently moved to Santa Fe with his family. Both of these young men who were a part of our football program lost their lives as heroes, trying to save their classmates at Santa Fe High School on May 18th. Yesterday evening, IPC Industries led by Mr Hertenberger, had the privilege to cater a meal for Chris & Riley's families and the SFHS Varsity Football Team and Coaching Staff, and present all of them with the shirts he had made which are emblazoned across the back with: "Santa Fe Football. We're not just strong, we're made of STONE. Gone but never forgotten. Chris Stone and Riley Garcia. May 18, 2018" As Mr Hertenberger said during his statements yesterday, "these game day shirts are a way to let everyone know that these guys are playing for a purpose this year." IPC wants to encourage everyone to continue to come together as one as we persevere through the lasting effects that day has had on our community. If you see these limited edition black (Class of 2019) or white (Varsity Underclassmen) shirts out in the public, keep in mind why they are wearing them and maybe try to offer up some words of encouragement! With that said, Mr Hertenberger along with his IPC Industries Family would like to proudly say, "GOOD LUCK!" and best wishes to our Santa Fe Indians on their 2018 Football Season! Special appreciation:
…to the SFHS Football Booster Club President, Gaylyn Pagel-Wisko for her hard work in helping us make sure this came to fruition! …to Adrienne and Amanda with La Brisa League City for providing both families with gift cards to have a meal compliments of La Brisa!

The number of online accounts to have been hacked by criminals has soared by almost half over the last year, according to figures published today.
As advances are being made in securing online access to accounts, criminals are targeting customers directly.
Fraud prevention service Cifas analysed data from 387 organisations including many major UK brands.
The annual report found that the number of so-called facility takeovers - when a fraudster poses as a genuine customer to gain control of an account - rose to 22,525 in 2016, up from 15,497 in 2015 across the UK.
The types of accounts taken over by criminals include bank, credit card, telephone, email and other services, Cifas warned.
Victims often find money has been transferred out of their account or products have been ordered in their name.
More than 50% of the facility takeovers recorded were carried out over the phone, typically to call centre staff.
For the fraud to be successful over the telephone, criminals must have obtained enough of their victim's personal and security information to convince a call centre worker they are the account holder.
The report said the increase of 45% in facility takeovers shows more fraudsters were collecting personal data and identifying targets through data breaches and social media and even contacting victims directly to manipulate them.
Cifas chief executive Simon Dukes said: "Working together, organisations prevented £1 billion worth of fraud last year, but we know that as one method gets harder, fraudsters change tactic rather than stop.
"We are now seeing that the advances made in securing online access to customer accounts have led to fraudsters targeting the human being at the end of the phone," he added.
Mr Dukes added that educating customers is key in preventing those who are targeted to revealing personal data and is urging the next government "to do more to ensure that individuals know how to avoid these tricks".
However Alex Neill the managing director of consumer watchdog Which? said that "educating consumers is not the only solution".
"Banks and businesses should be doing more to identify potential scams, and ensure that their security systems are being improved to prevent fraud taking place," said Mr Neill.


The America's Uphill is a longtime Aspen favorite that attracts hundreds of racers each year. The race brings together snowshoers, runners, Nordic skiers, telemark skiers, and Randonee skiers for a 2.5 mile and 3,000'+ vertical climb up Aspen Mountain. Click here for a video of the 2009 Uphill to get an idea of the race!
2019 RACE CANCELLATION – unfortunately America's Uphill had to be cancelled for 2019 due to avalanche danger and control work along the race course. The Aspen Skiing Company and Aspen Mountain Patrol made the decision based on safety concerns due to an additional 13″ of snow received mid mountain the night before and morning of the race. The Aspen Sk Co and Aspen Mtn Patrol worked extremely hard to make the race happen but the weather did not cooperate. We will be offering a refund for the race fee or a donation to ACES or the Aspen Mountain Ski Patrol. Check your email for more information. We hope to see you next year.
This year's race helps benefit the Aspen Center For Environmental Studies Children's Environmental Education programs. March is ACES Education Fund Drive Month. A portion of each registration will be donated plus you will have the option to give a little bit to ACES when you register for the event. If you donate an additional $25 or more, receive a free 50th Anniversary ACES Buff.
Also, NEW this year, a FULL BREAKFAST at the Sundeck is included in your entry fee!
This year, participation will be limited to 300 total registration (240 will be available online). Last year there were 195 people registered for the race.
Pre-registration is available till 4pm March 8 at the Ute Mountaineer. Online registration (credit card only) available at www.utemountaineer.com till 9am Mountain time March 8. Please do not fax registrations.
Race Day Registration is available from 6-6:30am at the gondola building ticket office.
To download a paper registration, click here. Paper registrations must be delivered to the Ute Mountaineer (210 S. Galena St, Aspen, CO 81611) with registration payment (check or cash) by 4pm, March 8th. Faxed registrations will not be accepted.
Cost includes BREAKFAST at Sundeck, pain, raffle, and awards. $5 of each registration will be donated to Aspen Center of Environmental Studies Children's Environmental Science Education programs.
The America's Uphill begins at the base of Little Nell and climbs 3267 feet up the Aspen Mountain ski area finishing at the Sundeck Restaurant at an elevation of 11,212 feet. The course follows Little Nell to the Bell Mountain Chair and then up Bingo Slot to Spar Gulch. The long steep climb up Spar continues to the base of Ajax Express (Lift 3). From there, there's a small reprieve on Tortilla Flats before the climb begins again in earnest. At this point, the race follows a maze of trails starting up Deer Park to Pussyfoot, Silverbell, and Easy Chair, finally topping out at the Sundeck. Inspection of the course prior to race day is recommended.
There is one aid station with fluids at the base of Lift 3.
Race Packet and bib pick-up will be at the Ute Mountaineer Thursday (3/7/19) during regular store hours (9am-9pm) and Friday (3/8/19) 9am-4pm. You can also pick these up race morning from 6-6:45am in the Gondola Building at the base of Little Nell.
Your timing chip is part of your bib, so please do not lose your bib! We do not have a replacement bib for you.
The awards ceremony will begin at 9:15am inside the Sundeck Restaurant. Awards will be overall by gender, by team, and by age group and gender in category. There is an extensive raffle.

High spirits as supporter completes Snowdon treble
SEEKING a high after feeling low as a result of illness, Peter Cook successfully raised both his spirits and funds for the children's charity of rugby by summiting Snowdon three times in the space of just 12 hours.
The Wooden Spoon Oxfordshire supporter completed his lofty challenge with ten minutes to spare despite a heavy fall, wet weather and a wrong turn threatening to thwart his triple assault on Wales' highest mountain.
Peter, who scaled Snowdon with friends last year, enjoyed a relatively trouble-free start to his 23-mile hike – reaching the peak in one hour and 35 minutes – but his bid to climb more than 8,000 feet took a literal turn for the worse during the first descent.
With wet weather making the trek down more treacherous than usual, the ardent adventurer fell heavily on his hip before losing his way as a consequence of poor visibility. Although Peter's unintentional detour returned him to the base of Snowdon, it did so seven miles from his intended position.
Fearing failure at the first hurdle and in the absence of a passing bus, the rain-soaked rambler resorted to hitch-hiking and fortunately had his feat put back on track by a sympathetic driver.
Spurred on by this change in fortune, Peter completed his second ascent in one hour and 50 minutes and – after taking a rest and refuelling at the summit – returned to the start point for his final climb with four hours and 40 minutes left on the clock.
Cheered off by his partner Emma and step-son George but slowed by a stiffening knee, the Wooden Spoon fundraiser successfully summited for a third time and – with the weather improving – completed his Snowdon hat-trick with minutes to spare.
Reflecting on his motivation for scaling a mountain three times in one day, Peter said: "For a number of reasons, it was not a good start to the year culminating in me having a chest infection and struggling to even climb my house stairs.
"So feeling very low I gave myself a challenge that would at the same time help some great children who face harder challenges every day.
Peter added: "After climbing Snowdon with some friends, one asked if I felt I could go immediately back up and do it again. Bravado said yes, but my legs said no.
"That thought stuck in my mind and while I thought twice may be possible, I wasn't sure three would be.
"So the challenge was set – it had to be three times to the summit. If I was going to ask people to part with their hard-earned cash to support my cause, I had to achieve, or at least attempt to achieve, something I didn't think I could."

Europeana was produced with live sessions at the Brussels alternative club Magasin 4, recordings at Studio Choux de Bruxelles (rehearsal room of Jaune Toujours) and overdubs at Strawberry Lab (home studio of sound engineer Christine Verschorren), where the album was also mixed. With guests: the backing vocals of Burkinese talent Patrick Kabré, the likembe of Jo Zanders (Lkmtiv, Velotronix, Drom), the trombone of Vincent Heirman (Bravo Big Band, Superska) and the trumpet of the Belgo-Syrian Yamen Martini.
The title for the album finds its origins – next to many possible other links and actual connotations - in some tours of the band in Canada. The audience there (often 2nd, 3rd or 4th generation of European migrants) described the music of Jaune Toujours as both familiar (the sounds and instruments of "the old continent") and exotic (a very own, contemporay mix, distilled from all sorts of influences). Since it is difficult to classify Jaune Toujours, why not come up with a new musical term? Europeana it is therefore; analogue to or in opposition to the musical style Americana.
"While many are often a mere copy of other bands, that's definitely not the case for Jaune Toujours.They are different through their refreshing attitude and approach, with songs alternating from English (End Of Season) to French (Même Pas Peur) and even Dutch (Alles Normaal). It's hard to find another band whose musical palette is so diverse, with, among others, ska (Ska-Man), oriental drift and derailing (Balkan Khan) and funky jazz (Funky Brussels). "Jaune Toujours deals in the most diverse tunes. The band distinguishes itself with its social message, experienced through life: just listen how the opening track Save Le Monde immediately catches the attention and takes you on to the advenurous roads of Europeana. The way the band puts the most diverse topics to music: traffic problems in Veiculo Longo, the end of summer in End Of Season or the malaise in news and media in Radio Blues. At the same time, Jaune Toujours embodies an energetic, uplifting sound which is fully present on the new album. And the band still calls things as they are: the subject of human rights is combatively raised (Refugees Welcome) and the political system is being questioned thoroughly (Cinema Politika, Funky Brussels). More than once we are reminded of sources of inspiration such as The Clash or Manu Chao. This is no coincidence, because the shared ideology, socially critical approach and musical background is always recognizable as Jaune Toujours blasts from your speakers.
Europeana is released on vinyl and as a cd + book (30x30cm, 22 p.), with a selection of pictures by drummer / photographer Theophane Raballand.

Herbie Kane: How Steven Gerrard's old pupil became Liverpool's loanee success story
Jack Lusby
@jacklusby_
A player who caught Steven Gerrard's eye while at the Liverpool academy, Herbie Kane is now impressing as the club's surprise success story of 2018.
When Gerrard returned to Kirkby to earn his UEFA 'B' Licence, he made sure two players were in his group of U18s for every session: Kane and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
But while Alexander-Arnold's rise to a first-choice role under Jurgen Klopp has been well documented and romanticised, Kane's development has been steadier, more realistic even.
Three days before the No. 66's debut against Tottenham in 2016, Kane picked up a hip injury in the U18s' 5-1 victory at Derby County.
This came as another setback in a series of setbacks for the former Bristol City midfielder—something which stalled his progress to the extent that only this year brought his first loan move.
Kane, at 19, joined Doncaster Rovers on an initial five-month loan in August, with the Doncaster Free Press' Liam Hoden telling This is Anfield it was "very much a case of Herbie who?" for supporters at the time.
"That's understandable if you don't possess a good knowledge of U23 football," he explained.
"But we knew he must have had something about him because Rovers were well stocked in the midfield areas and didn't particularly need to make an addition in there."
Kane had been named on the long-list for the European Golden Boy award in June, and regularly trained with Klopp's first-team squad as well as captaining the U23s in the second half of 2017/18, so he certainly did have something about him.
But he remained something of an unknown quantity, a staple for Liverpool's academy sides, but not boasting the reputation of the likes of Ovie Ejaria, Ben Woodburn and Harry Wilson.
"It was an important decision for me as it's my first loan spell, I know I'll have to work hard to earn my place in the team," Kane told Doncaster's official website on clinching his move.
"I'm a hardworking player, I like to score and assist as much as possible. There is plenty of competition for places which I'm excited by."
The teenager clearly didn't expect to take up as prominent a role as he did, as after warming the bench throughout the first game of the season, he was thrown in at the deep end against Wycombe Wanderers.
Deployed in a roving role in midfield, Kane ultimately set up Doncaster's opener, laying on the final pass on the overlap in a one-touch move that saw Mallik Wilks fire home.
Doncaster won that game 3-0, with Kane playing the full 90 minutes, repeating the feat just three days later in a 2-1 win at Scunthorpe in the League Cup.
His performances have endeared him to Hoden who, watching on at every Doncaster game, has grown increasingly captivated by his maturity, composure and tenacity off the ball:
"He came to Rovers without a single minute of senior football and within 10 minutes of his debut you could see how special he was.
"He doesn't look like a young kid in his stature on the pitch and he doesn't play like one either.
"During that debut he was seen reprimanding captain Tommy Rowe for not taking up space.
"Kane is unbelievably composed both on and off the ball. His range of passing is excellent, his movement is superb and he has plenty of confidence in his ability to get forward.
"His touch is very good and he can get out of a tight spot.
"But he's equally adept when the opposition have the ball. He breaks up play superbly and gets Rovers going back in the right direction quickly.
"He covered as the deepest-lying midfielder for one game due to suspension but bossed the midfield.
"Even in his least impressive performance he was Rovers' best player on a bad day for the side."
This is high praise for a player who, as Hoden notes, had only played academy football prior to his switch to South Yorkshire, and had been tasked with keeping up in a physically demanding league.
Despite the likes of Jordan Houghton and Rodney Kongolo arriving on loan to bolster Rovers' midfield in recent seasons, Hoden describes Kane as "quite comfortably the best" to do so.
Doncaster manager Grant McCann, himself a midfielder during a lengthy playing career that took in spells with Cheltenham, Scunthorpe and Peterborough, believes Kane's upbringing has aided this.
"I knew he'd come from a tough background in Bristol and that he was ready to come into the Football League because he's physically ready," he told the Free Press.
"What he probably surprised us with is how good he is in possession and breaking up play.
"In youth football there's no real emphasis, in my opinion, on winning the ball back.
"Coming from a team like Liverpool there is. That counter-pressing and reaction, he's proved he's the best in this league at it."
It was noted in September that Kane was averaging the most 'deep progressions'—described as "passes, dribbles and carries into the opposition final third"—per 90 minutes in League One (9.8):
Early days of course, but young Liverpool loanee Herbie Kane is leading League One in deep progressions* and just generally impressing for Doncaster. Doing the H Kane name proud.

Kane's all-action style had already been showcased with the U18s and U23s at Liverpool, but now he is translating that onto the first-team stage, with McCann's reference of counter-pressing deliberate.
Doncaster's No. 15 has already earned Man of the Match awards for his displays against Burton Albion, Portsmouth, Accrington Stanley and Sunderland, while Hoden labelled him "the major driving force" behind the 3-2 win at Plymouth Argyle.
It is, therefore, noteworthy that Kane's current deal with Rovers expires in January—a reality he and McCann both want to change in the near future.
Speaking to BBC Radio Sheffield in October, the midfielder explained how he is in regular contact with Liverpool, and is hoping to earn a long-term stay at Anfield by aiding Doncaster's promotion push.
Since the season opener, Kane has so far missed just one League One game through suspension, starting 14 and playing the full 90 in 10; he has made 17 appearances in total, laying on three assists.
Of Liverpool's 16 loanees, only Ejaria (1,452) and Ryan Kent (1,440) have enjoyed more minutes on the pitch this season than Kane (1,431), having begun the season with Rangers two weeks before him.
It could be argued that, on current form, he could attract attention from further up the Football League at the start of next year.
But in Hoden's eyes, staying with Doncaster until May, playing regularly and honing his craft, would be a wiser decision, particularly if he has ambitions of settling under Klopp at Liverpool.
"I'd be fully confident of him being a Premier League footballer in a few years but it doesn't happen overnight for many his age," Hoden proffered.
"He's getting wonderful experience right now and it should only be good for him to keep playing games."
It is difficult to argue with that, and if his surprise success at the Keepmoat continues he could join the likes of Wilson, Woodburn and Marko Grujic as one of the loanees firmly on Klopp's radar.

For most people, other strategies for avoiding a will contest are preferable to recording the will signing. These include having a medical practitioner examine you and attest to your capacity immediately before the signing. It can also involve choosing reliable witnesses, including a "no contest clause" in your will, and using a funded revocable trust, which avoids probate and, therefore, is more difficult and expensive to challenge.

One Hundred Years Ago Today The Sox Won Game 3 Of The 1918 World Series
A Play In The 1918 World Series
On September 7, 1918—exactly one-hundred years ago today—the Red Sox defeated the Chicago Cubs 2-1 to take Game Three of the 1918 World Series. The win gave Boston a 2-1 lead in the Series that they would eventually win four games to two—the last title for 86 more years before the "restoration" in 2004. Interestingly, Babe Ruth did not participate at all in Game Three—likely resting for his pitching start in Game Four two days later at Fenway Park. In that contest, not only did Ruth pitch eight solid innings (just two earned runs), he also went 1-2 with 2 RBIs at the plate—and went in to play left-field late in the game. Amazingly, Ruth's lone hit was a triple. Boston would wrap things up at Fenway on September 11th—a 2-1 win that clinched their fifth World Series title. A total of 15,238 fans were on hand at the six-year-old ballpark to see the glorious victory.

There Might Be an 'Andre Drummond Rule' in the NBA's New CBA
admin November 11, 2016 Headlines, NBA No Comments on There Might Be an 'Andre Drummond Rule' in the NBA's New CBA
The NBA and the NBPA are apparently on the verge of hashing out a new collective bargaining agreement, which, for those of us who hate lockouts, is very good.
This new CBA, however, might include an "Andre Drummond Rule," which seems needless, bordering on bad.
Here's the lowdown courtesy of The Vertical's Bobby Marks (h/t ProBasketballTalk's Dan Feldman):
The Vertical has learned that there's potentially could be a rule placed that is called the Drummond Rule. So basically, all these players who sign with low cap holds, teams use cap space, kind of circle back, use the room and then sign their player – that is going to go away. We're going to see some of these cap holds take a significant increase, go from 150 percent to possibly 300 percent.
So, how that plays out is going to be a big question. We could see an impact next summer on Golden State. Steph Curry, Kevin Durant: free agents. Does the Curry cap hold double? And that might mean a dramatic effect as far as what you have with Durant, Livingston, Iguodala.
The only question will be how the NBA uses these rules. Do you grandfather them in? Do you have a grace period? There's still a lot of questions to be hammered, but there could be certainly a domino effect right now.
Naming this rule after Andre Drummond is dumb. Yes, he delayed signing an extension so that his diminished cap hold would afford the Detroit Pistons more flexibility in their free-agent pursuits. But that move resulted in the signings of guys like Ish Smith, Jon Leuer and Boban Marjanovic. It hardly allowed the Pistons to construct an unbeatable superteam.
Besides, Drummond and the Pistons are from from the first teams to exploit this loophole, if it can even be considered a loophole. The San Antonio Spurs did it with Kawhi Leonard. The Washington Wizards did it with Bradley Beal. They're doing it again with Otto Porter, just as the Pistons are doing with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
Truthfully, this rule shouldn't be named after anyone, because it doesn't seem like it should be a rule. If teams and players want to roll the dice and delay an extension, that should be their prerogative. The cap hold shouldn't have to increase by more. You're not making it harder for incumbent teams to keep said players, but you are making it needlessly more challenging to build around, which in turn makes it harder to keep them beyond that rookie extension.
The NBA understandably wants to prevent another Golden State Warriors fiasco, but this attacks it too hard. And there's no way it would make sense to implement right away, because you're essentially forcing the Warriors to break up or gut their team immediately. Their formation was an oversight on the league's part; it shouldn't be able to be corrected now.
And as for future policies, we get it. The league wants to be aggressive in making sure this never happens again. But this rookie-extension loophole hasn't yet resulted in a superteam. It's made for interesting discussion leading up to the summer, and teams being afforded an opportunity to get deep. It's tough to see how that's a damning thing—especially when, in the grand scheme of things, it won't prevent another Warriors team. That took luck in the draft, a below-market deal (Curry's) and a salary-cap explosion. It had nothing to do with extension holds.

Lucky Thirteen
When someone wins a race, we, in the media, say that he's got a spot in the Chase. Well, again this year, that isn't setting well with some fans who are quick to point out that, until they win that second race, nothing is locked in.
While, technically, that is true, the chances that we have at least 17 different winners in the first 26 races, are minuscule. In other words, it's not going to happen.
In 2014, we had 7 different winners in the first 9 races. This year? Seven different winners in the first 9 races.
Even after the next three races yielded three new winners (that was 10 in 12 races), we still only had 13 different winners by the time we'd finished 26 races.
To this point, the only driver with a win who didn't win last year is Matt Kenseth.
History and logic says there is no way there will be 10 new winners in the next 17 races.
By the way, you know how many different winners we had in the entire 2014 season? The same 13 we had before the Chase.

Q: Does there exist a group with only one element? My only thoughts would be something like the set Z and using the number 1 but even then would that be able to satisfy the invertible condition?

A: Sure, if you let $1+1=1$.  (I know this is not what you wanted:  I had to "disturb" the operation to make this work out.  This is not natural.)
With only one element $x$ there is only one operation:  $x*x=x$.  This is called the trivial group $(\{x\}, *)$.
In $\mathbb{Z}$ under $+$, the only 1-element subgroup is $\{0\}$.  In general, the only one-element subgroup inside of any group $G$ is $\{e\}$, where $e \in G$ is the identity.

TD 2019/4
This determination considers whether a trust split arrangement causes a new trust to be settled over some but not all assets of the original trust with the result that CGT event E1 in subsection 104-55(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 happens.
TD 2019/D7
This determination says that Subdivision 855-A (or subsection 768-915(1)) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 does not disregard a capital gain that a foreign resident (or temporary resident) beneficiary of a resident non-fixed trust makes because of subsection 115-215(3).
This determination is about whether the source concept in Division 6 of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 is relevant in determining whether a non-resident beneficiary of a resident trust (or trustee for them) is assessed on an amount of trust capital gain arising under Subdivision 115-C of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
This determination is about the deductibility of interest expenses incurred by a beneficiary of a discretionary trust on borrowings on-lent on interest-free terms to the trustee.
TD 2017/24
This determination says that a beneficiary cannot offset capital losses or net capital losses or access the CGT discount in relation to an amount included in the beneficiary's assessable income under subsection 99B(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 that had its origins in a capital gain from non-taxable Australian property of a foreign trust.
This determination says that the section 855-10 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 , which disregards certain capital gains of a trust which is a foreign trust for CGT purposes overrides the residency assumption when calculating the net income of a trust under subsection 95(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
This determination says that a beneficiary of a trust is not entitled to a deduction under section 25-35 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 for the amount of an unpaid present entitlement to trust income that the beneficiary has purported to write off as a bad debt.
This determination says that a release by a private company of its unpaid present entitlement is a 'payment' within the meaning of Division 7A of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
This determination is about the proportionate approach to the assessment of the net income of a trust. It highlights how different forms of trustee resolution might bring about different tax outcomes where there has been an amendment of the net income of the trust.
This determination is about whether CGT event E1 or E2 in sections 104-55 or 104-60 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 happen if the terms of a trust are changed pursuant to a valid exercise of a power contained within the trust's constituent document, or varied with the approval of a relevant court.
This determination explains that, for the purposes of subsection 115-228(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997, a beneficiary of a trust estate can be reasonably expected to receive an amount of a financial benefit referable to a capital gain made by the trust estate in an income year even though the fact that the capital gain is made is not established until after the end of the income year.
This determination is about the factors the Commissioner will take into account in determining the amount of any deemed payment or notional loan arising under section 109T of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
This determination is about the factors the Commissioner will take into account in determining the amount of any deemed entitlement arising under section 109XI of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936.
This determination is about whether a taker in default of trust capital has an 'interest in the trust capital' for the purposes of CGT event E8 in section 104-90 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
This determination is about whether interest on a loan is fully deductible under section 8-1 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 when the borrowed moneys are settled by the borrower on trust to benefit the borrower and others.
This determination explains that the part of a payment which is a small business 50% reduction amount is a non-assessable part under CGT event E4 in section 104-70 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
This determination indicates that an asset will 'pass' to the beneficiary of a deceased estate when the beneficiary becomes absolutely entitled to the asset as against the estate's trustee (whether or not the asset is later transmitted or transferred to the beneficiary).
This determination considers whether CGT event E4 in section 104-70 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 happens if the trustee of a discretionary trust makes a non-assessable payment to:
a mere object; or
a default beneficiary.
This determination explains the capital gains tax consequences for a beneficiary of a discretionary trust who renounces their interest in the trust
This determination explains that land under a unit of accommodation is not exempt under the main residence exemption under Subdivision 118-B in Part 3-1 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 if the the unit of accommodation is sold separately from the land.
This determination explains that you can apply the main residence exemption in Subdivision 118-B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 to whichever area of land you choose in addition to the land on which your dwelling is situated. The total of the land (including the land on which the dwelling is situated) must not exceed 2 hectares.
This determination explains that 'adjacent' land in terms of section 118-120 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 is not limited to land contiguous to a dwelling.

Human Trafficking Awareness Week Kicks Off at Loyola
Emily Morgenstern Angeles Ochoa-Raya, president of Free the Slaves Loyola, spoke at the kickoff event on Feb. 13.
By Emily Morgenstern and Jazmin Marcos
February 14, 2017 10:19 p.m. CT
Free the Slaves Loyola kicked off its annual week of Human Trafficking Awareness with an informational event in the Damen Den on Feb. 13.
Human trafficking is a common crime, affecting millions of people worldwide each year. Free the Slaves Loyola is an on-campus organization that works to raise awareness about human trafficking.
Members of the group shared stories of human trafficking survivors from Germany, Cambodia and Lithuania. The real-life stories highlighted the horrors that victims of human trafficking face.
Human trafficking is defined as recruiting, harbouring or transporting people for exploitation, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). This can be done through means such as deception, abduction, bribery or abuse of power. Exploitation can include prostitution, forced labor, organ removal or other forms of oppression.
Free the Slaves Loyola recognizes eight types of human trafficking: sex trafficking, child sex trafficking, labor trafficking, child labor trafficking, debt bondage trafficking, domestic servitude trafficking, child soldier trafficking and human organ trafficking. Sex trafficking is the most common type, making up 79 percent of global human trafficking, as the UNODC reported.
Human trafficking is a $150 billion industry with 20.9 million victims worldwide, according to the UNODC. Chicago forms part of this international business with about 16,000-25,000 women sex trafficked annually. Many of these victims are transported nationally and internationally through O'Hare International Airport.
Angeles Ochoa-Raya, president of Free the Slaves Loyola, explained why Chicago is an active city in human trafficking.
"It just generally tends to happen in cities like Chicago because of the transportation," said the sophomore social work and criminal justice double major. "With the CTA, you have access to anywhere in the city."
Human trafficking is a hidden crime, which means it's harder for authorities to detect and for victims to reach out for help, explained Stella Van Den Eeden, secretary of Free the Slaves Loyola.
Law enforcement officials are not often the first people to come in contact with human trafficking victims. Health care professionals including doctors and therapists are usually the first to assist victims, Van Den Eeden said.
Free the Slaves Loyola discussed multiple ways people can help raise awareness of human trafficking other than having a career that deals directly with trafficking victims.
Volunteering at and donating money to organizations that help end human trafficking, and lobbying government officials, are all effective ways individuals can help raise awareness of human trafficking, according to Van Den Eeden.
People can also be attentive to signs of human trafficking, which can sometimes be quite obvious yet still go unnoticed.
"One of the [signs] is actually noticing how someone is when they are talking to you," said Ochoa-Raya. "Sometimes a sign is [them] by themselves as if they look lost and they're just wandering around … other times if they look very tired or worn out, or they aren't able to tell you where they work or where they're from."
In the effort to end human trafficking, Free the Slaves Loyola wants people to listen to victims and their stories.
"Most importantly, we must not let survivors' voices be silenced," said Van Den Eeden. "At the heart of it all we are human, and any injustice to one of us is an injustice to all of us."

Stories brimming with tragedy that shake you out of certitude
Muzaffarnagar's a place you only ever hear of in the news. We don't readily realise that zones of conflict are as much — if not more so — places of domicile as the ones we free-world doves are domiciled in.
People everywhere have lives, not just us in our liberated social circuits as we drop nightcaps in hip urban bars. And it turns out, a life once lived in an inescapably familiar dystopia can be more real than the ephemeral utopia most of us reading this must be revelling in.
Tanuj Solanki's book of short stories, Diwali in Muzaffarnagar, is overall a description of how life has unfolded in the riot-prone town in the last few decades. Diwali is a collection of connected tales of aspirational migration and being acutely mired in a place.
Muzaffarnagar, as painted by Solanki, is a place stunted in its almost comfortingly tragic quagmire — tragedy has a strong valency; it can create bonds and memories arguably stronger than any euphoria.
Solanki's stories are brimming with tragedy; only, they wonder out loud in whispers whether tragedy implies succumbing to your lot or surrendering to your lot, and at what point exactly ambition transitions into resignation.
Chapters of a bildungsroman
Solanki's stories leave you in limbo. The sort of limbo in which you're forced to recognise the need to introspect because the story is so believably disturbing and relatably messy. The narrative speaks from so deep within the characters' heads that their mind-voice sounds like it could easily be your own.
It could be you who suffers internally for a lost friend after conflating common sense with cowardice. It could be you who falls flat on the face after having struck out on your own, thinking your 'Muzaffarnagarness' would leave you if only you escaped it.
Each tale has a plot, a self-contained context, an autonomy and purpose. Yet, each tale is knotted up with the others in a way that renders each story episodic as well as epigrammatic.
Two or three stories in, you realise these aren't just short stories; they're chapters of a bildungsroman pretending to be disjointed by time, location, events and points of view. Characters mentioned in passing during one episode appear as protagonists in the next.
Characters who've extricated themselves from the tousled lanes of Muzaffarnagar are seen suffering the mundane monotony of other urban environments. Characters recall one another from across chapters in a way that entangles them psychologically even though their lives have long diverged.
Hovering cloud
You wish that for all his candid exploration of how innocent people in the periphery negotiate the simmering pall of violence, Solanki might have ventured to explore the point of view of those in the epicentre — the mind of the aggressors — of the "riot-prone-piece-of-shit town". The imminence of strife hovers like a black cloud over the Muzaffarnagari's mind, but the only glimpse you get of it is in a dazed POV.
While powerful in itself, that sort of treatment simply echoes Kafkaesque horror, squandering the freedom an author is given to subtitle the mechanics of any mind, especially the brutish lathi-brandishers', a closed book in popular lit.
And yet, the book is much more than simply a humanisation of a strife-torn place. There's a degree of depth, breadth, sensitivity and nuance in it that few Indian authors are able to achieve in a lowly-looking paperback. These stories will shake you out of your self-assured stupor of dim certitude and back into the delightful mode of re-inquiry and re-evaluation.
When he finds his narrative getting a bit too emotive and sentimental, Solanki deftly interjects with a POV story or two that are pure homages to Joseph Heller and George Orwell, dripping with the wry matter-of-factness and stream-of-consciousness-laden perspicacity of post-modern literature.
Some small-town Indians who as children were incarcerated in a regressive and hostile environment are able to grow up and casually contemplate Kerouac and silent movies. Others find themselves tugged back with a sense of resignation that Solanki rationalises through the poignancy of his storytelling. We all graduate, but we all gravitate, Solanki seems to wink.

Did you know that you can buy or sell loans on RainFin's secondary marketplace?
It is a platform that provides lenders with an opportunity to sell their loan capital prior to the maturity date and as a result, offers other lenders additional lending opportunities. Only performing loans can be sold on the secondary market, making this a very attractive opportunity for returns. When purchasing a loan on the secondary market, you buy the available outstanding capital, irrespective of the asking price and offer made.
The secondary marketplace offers complete visibility of the borrower's repayment performance as well as the potential profit or loss a lender would be making with the sale of a loan. Furthermore, lenders can purchase loans at a discount and possibly have access to part of a loan that they previously missed out on.
How does the Secondary Marketplace work?
How do I sell my loan?
First you check the status of the loan you would like to sell. Loans are temporarily unavailable to be sold 5 days before and 5 days after the loan repayment date. Loans can also not be sold in the first and last month of repayment. You select the loan you would like to sell and set an asking price – remember you will have to sell the full outstanding capital. The loan will now be posted on the secondary marketplace for a limited time and automatically removed 5 days before the repayment day. You can cancel the sale at any time. You will be notified when other lenders make offers on your loan and you can accept or decline these offers as you wish. Offers higher than your asking price will automatically be accepted. Once successful, a transfer certificate is generated. You, as the seller, will pay a transaction fee of 1 month's interest plus VAT if the sale is concluded and this fee is payable before withdrawal.
How do I buy a loan?
You have to click on Secondary Market. Browse through the loans on offer and find one matching your risk criteria and budget. You can view the seller's asking price and calculate your preferable offer. You will be able to view your potential loss or gain on the loan. When you confirm your offer, a notification e-mail will be sent to the seller. Note that a higher offer on the asking price will automatically be accepted – an offer lower however, can be accepted or denied by the seller. You will be notified via e-mail of the outcome. You can make more than one offer on a loan and the value of the offers will be reserved in your RainFin account until the offer/s are accepted or declined. If accepted, RainFin will transfer the rights of the loan and you, as the buyer will pay the standard 1.14% service fee (VAT included) on the monthly payment received. All interest and outstanding capital will now be paid to you, the new owner. You can re-sell the loan at any time. As with all loans on the RainFin platform, collections get done on behalf of the lender and all payments after the transfer of rights will be paid into the account of the new owner (buyer).
Together with the special interest rates and discount pricing that is usually on offer, these loans add up to a very attractive lending opportunity, only available to RainFin lenders.

Guilderland foes far apart on issues
Challenger Grimm takes on 14-year incumbent Runion

2of2Democratic incumbent Ken Runion is seeking re-election as Guilderland town supervisor in 2013 (Submitted photo) Show MoreShow Less
It turns out opposites are attracted to the same position.
Republican and Stop Corruption parties candidate Mark Grimm and Democratic, Conservative and Independence parties candidate and incumbent Supervisor Ken Runion served together from 2008 to 2011 when Grimm was a town councilman, but now the two are duking it out for the supervisor's chair with views on both ends of the spectrum.
"The most important elections have a strong contrast between the candidates," Grimm said. "I don't think it could have a sharper contrast than the two candidates here."
Runion has served as supervisor for the last 14 years, while Grimm left his town post because he said he isn't a career politician and has a small business to run.
Taxes could be a key point for voters on Election Day. Runion touted the strides the town has made to keep taxes down during his tenure. Grimm is partially centering his campaign on what he said are sky-high taxes.
On his website, Grimm bills himself as a taxpayer champion and states that he voted no on a 4 percent tax increase and approved cost-saving billing procedures for paramedic services during his time as a town board member.
"My opponent has consistently raised taxes," Grimm said. "I blocked taxes."
Runion said the town has not exceeded or approached the 2 percent tax cap since it was enacted and that residents have had low payments during his tenure. He said the average taxpayer pays less than $70 in taxes a year and the 2014 proposed property tax price is just below 25 cents per $1,000 assessed value.
"When our tax rates move, they move by a penny," Runion said.
"I've been a watchdog for the town's finances," he said. "It has been my goal to provide the highest quality services to Guilderland residents at the most affordable cost."
Grimm also bills himself as a watchdog. When asked why he chose to run for supervisor after citing time constraints as the reason he didn't run for another term as a councilman, Grimm said: "Because the people are worth it. I've got a record of sticking up for them. I could make an even bigger difference if I was supervisor."
Among his other platforms is working with the business community to generate more revenue for the town and establish cooperative relationships. He said the town doesn't currently have a good reputation with businesses, affecting taxes.
Runion said he would like to see out various sidewalk projects expected to last through 2015, as well as other projects he said would improve the quality of life for town residents. He said he would also continue to focus on the town's budget with hope for positives in the coming years.
"I'm going to monitor our finances very closely," he said. "We will see the potential for some tax decreases in the next couple of years."

Day 46 – En guard!
November 4, 2011 Neil Neil Cowburn's runs Comments Off on Day 46 – En guard!
I've been feeling slightly under the weather all day. I'm not sure whether I'm just tired or if I'm coming down with something. I suppose the next few days will tell. All I can say is TFI Friday!
My mind wanted to take it easy today, but my body didn't. So battle ensued. For every step of the 5K run. It's a strange kind of battle and not one I'd encountered before. I'm not quite sure who won, so let's call it a draw.
This week has flown by. I can hardly believe it's Friday tomorrow, which means the weekend is just around the corner. I'm looking forward to relaxing a bit and maybe enjoying some fireworks on Saturday. It's my young niece's birthday, so I can imagine she feels pretty special with all the fireworks going off. I know I would!
My legs felt good today, but I was conscious of a quick day just a couple of days ago and that my right leg has not fully recovered yet, so I picked up the pace, but not too much. The Garmin Forerunner 310XT that I use flashes up the pace every kilometre and I'm always a little pleased when it exactly matches the overall average pace. Steady as she goes.
The days are ticking by quite nicely. It doesn't feel like it's been 6 weeks since I started this journey. Time flies when you're having fun.
I felt quite tired this evening so I settled down on the sofa for a quick power nap only to wake two and a half hours later. Some power nap. When I woke, I was in a bit of a panic because I've yet to set the time on the clock in my lounge to GMT. I thought it was 10pm and realising I'd not run yet, I got a bit animated. It was only from checking my phone that I saw it was in fact 9pm. Phew!
Despite the rushing around to get ready for the run, I was still very sleepy. I've never run in this state before so it was interesting, to say the least. Hard would be a more accurate description. Thankfully I'd planned on an easy run following yesterday's faster pace. The weather also agreed that would be best and blow a strong headwind (in both directions) to keep me in check.
Now, if you don't mind, I'm heading to bed.
Everything seemed to come together tonight. The weather was almost ideal (light breeze, dry, quite cool), I felt fresh, and my dodgy leg felt great. Nothing held me back and the results show that. Just over 5K and every kilo was faster than the previous, culminating in a 5:12 pace for the 5th kilometre, followed by a 4:28 dash over the last 200m. Suffice to say, I'm feeling a whole lot better. Here's hoping it stays this way for the foreseeable future. I'm tempted to go for a longer, slower run tomorrow.
I was up until 3am finishing off some work for a project deadline due this morning, so I've been a bit out of it most of the day. I think I've had about seven hours sleep this weekend and it's catching up with me, so an early night is in order.
I've been tagging all my posts whenever I've run in the rain. So far about one in four runs has been in the rain. It's actually rained a lot more than that as there have been days were it rained but not while I was running. It really is quite a soggy place to live!
I've not had much luck convincing my friends to occasionally join me on these daily runs. I'm usually greeted with a very quizzical "Why?" when I describe what I'm doing here. My justifications are typically followed by a lot of "you're crazy", "why would you put yourself through that?" kind of negative talk. However, I had a break-through this morning with a new friend. When I explained why I'm doing it, I got my first-ever positive response! So ner-ner to the negative nellies.
The big night out I'd planned was a success and turned into an all-nighter. The transition from British Summer Time to GMT certainly helped make the partying last a little bit longer. I was out until about 4am, but wisely made the choice to switch to water after a couple of social drinkies. The sun was just starting to come up when I finally got to bed. I was awake again 3 hours later and feeling quite spritely, which is a lot better than my friends who lay around moaning and groaning under the influence of their own excesses.
It's the last Saturday in October, so that means it's Snowdonia Marathon day. It also means it's guaranteed to rain. I kid you not. I didn't manage to get to see any of the race as I was working this morning and then running errands this afternoon, but it's been monsoon wet all day. Apparently, it was a record field this year with over 2000 starters. That's pretty good for a race that's billed and the UK's toughest marathon.
When I headed out for my 40th run, the rain was starting to ease and it felt reasonably warm out of the rain. So off came the rain jacket as I tend to get rather warm when running. Ten minutes later and the heavens opened with another bout of rain that would not be out of place in a David Attenborough documentary in the jungles of South America. When it rains like this, there's nothing to do except bow to the inevitable and prepare to get thoroughly soaked.
Sometimes even the best laid plans change. I was supposed to go to a book launch tonight, but instead got dragged (willingly :)) to the climbing wall and then ended up at a friend's house for dinner. I left the house at 5:30pm and didn't arrive back until almost 11pm. I still had my daily run to complete. Tired, I knocked back a strong & sweet coffee and set off out into the night for an easy-paced run.
I know I run later in the day than most people but, even for me, this is somewhat unusual. In fact, I don't think I've ever set off on a run as late as I did tonight. At least I'm committed to this challenge. That's got to count for something, right?!
It's now almost midnight and I'm craving my bed, but I'm glad I went for a run. This last week or so, the running hasn't been easy, but that somehow makes it all the more worthwhile.
This evening's run seemed to be over in the blink of an eye. I can hardly remember any of it, which is odd given that I only finished an hour ago. I suppose that's what an auto-pilot run feels like. You don't think about it but it happens and, before you know it, you find yourself in the shower. Curious.
I don't think it was a bad run. The pace was reasonable enough. I just never really found myself in the moment. I've got a busy-ish weekend coming up, starting with a book signing event tomorrow night for a local author, who happens to be quite a character. On Saturday, I'm off for a night out as it's been quite a while. I've been told it's going to get quite messy—I can't wait!
I think it's rained here everyday for the last couple of weeks and it's definitely getting cooler. The air temperature was about 8°C but with the heavy, persistent rain, that feels a good 3° cooler. Pretty close to perfect for running, in my book! The rain eased about half way through, so the rain jacket came off and I finished in my base layer. I must say, I do love my base layer. It's a long sleeve Merino wool base layer from Howies and I've worn it for pretty much every one of the runs in this challenge (I wash it regularly!). I'd have to say it's favourite piece of sportswear that I own.


This world-class lodge has everything you'd want and need in a cabin stay. The decor is perfectly Canadiana (without being overdone), the beds are super comfortable and the amenities are great. You will be hard pressed to find lodges that offer this level of service: from fluffy white towels and eco-friendly toiletries in the room to fresh, home cooked meals.
Yes, you read that correctly. While each cabin has a kitchenette for your cooking necessities (and a continental breakfast is included), you may also opt into dining on scrumptious home-cooked meals in the Clubhouse, which may or may not include local pickerel (coated in their signature spice rub) and freshly baked goods (the biscuit was to die for).
On the grounds, you'll find a volleyball court, a bonfire, a horseshoe pit and a beautiful beach with a floating dock (and diving board) and a waterslide - which means summer days spent in true Canadian fashion -outside, soaking up the sun.
All guests are welcome to use any of the non-motorized boats (kayaks, stand up paddleboards and paddleboats) free of charge!
And if you want to venture out further on the lake, fishing and pontoon boats are available for rent. We headed out for a tour of the Lake Athapapuskow with owners Peggy and Rod and their "white wolves" Princess and Molly.
While visitors are welcome to bring their own boats (ideal for those driving up), you can also book a boat and fishing guide for a day on the lake. Lake trout, Rainbow trout, Brook Trout, Northern pike and Pickerel are all up for the taking on an excursion onto Lake Athapapuskow.
Our amazing guide John knew the best spots to reel in Master Anglers, and didn't mess around with using small bait - we went right for the 35"+ catches! And if you want your lunch with a Canadian twist, be sure to take part in a shore lunch, where your guide will fry up the catch of the day!
Where: Bakers Narrows Lodge is located 15 minutes outside the town of Flin Flon, an 8 hour drive or 2 hour flight from Winnipeg.
What: There are a number of log cabins with various bed configurations (all sleeping 4 people) plus a family cottage with a double bed and 4 bunks. Cabins start at $154/night.

Q: Use history.js with jQuery dynamic content I have a shop which uses dynamic content. Users can click on checkboxes to view products of specific categories. For this I am using jQuery to get products from another php file (works fine).
shop.php:
<input type="checkbox" class="category_btn" name="cat" id="category-books" value="books">
<input type="checkbox" class="category_btn" name="cat" id="category-dvds" value="dvds">
...

   Load dynamic content with jQuery here...

loadProducts.php:
<?php
$categories = $_POST['categories'];
$productsData = load_products($categories);

for ($i = 0; $i < $amount; $i++) {?>

        <a href="product.php?id=<?php echo $productsData[$i]['ID'] ?>"><img
                    src="images/<?php echo get_image($productsData[$i]['ID']) ?>"
                    alt="">

<?php echo $productsData[$i]['title'] ?>

<?php }?>

jQuery code (shop.php):

Now if a user clicks on a product to view details and then returns to shop.php by using the back-button, he will see the main page of the shop with no dynamic loaded content. Is it possible to save the last view with marked checkboxes and loaded products?
I think history.js is the solution, but I have no idea how to do this. Maybe somebody can help...
