Nell'atletica leggera sono denominate pedane tutti i campi di gara dei concorsi (salti in estensione, salti in elevazione e lanci).

Molte di esse si trovano unite fisicamente alle piste outdoor, il più delle volte secondo lo schema raffigurato qui a destra.

Lanci

Getto del peso

La pedana del getto del peso è di forma circolare ed è costituita da una lamiera di ferro o acciaio, la cui parte superiore deve essere a livello con il terreno circostante. La parte interna del circolo della pedana è in cemento o asfalto e deve essere più in basso rispetto al terreno di 14 - 16 millimetri.

Il diametro interno della pedana è di 2,135 metri (con una tolleranza di ±5 millimetri), mentre lo spessore del cerchio metallico deve essere di almeno 6 millimetri e dipinto di bianco.

Nella parte anteriore della pedana, all'esterno, verso la zona di caduta del peso, è presente un fermapiedi, il quale deve essere in legno (o altro materiale adatto), dipinto di bianco e a forma di arco (come si vede in figura). Il fermapiedi, inoltre, deve essere largo tra 11,2 e 30 centimetri, lungo da 1,21 a 1,23 metri e alto 10 centimetri (con una tolleranza di ±2 centimetri).

Lancio del disco
Anche la pedana del lancio del disco è di forma circolare.

Lancio del martello
La pedana per le gare di lancio del martello è dello stesso tipo di quella usata nelle gare di lancio del disco. Il settore di lancio ha un'ampiezza di 40°.

Lancio del giavellotto

La pedana del lancio del giavellotto deve avere una lunghezza minima di 30 m e una massima di 36,5 m. Questa è delimitata da due linee bianche parallele di 5 cm di spessore, distanti fra loro 4 m, e da un arco di circonferenza, tracciato con un raggio di 8 m, che le unisce. Tale arco è dipinto sulla pista ed è costituito da una striscia bianca di 7 cm di spessore.

Lancio del vortex

Salti in elevazione

Salto con l'asta

La cosiddetta cassetta d'imbucata è lo spazio nel quale viene inserita l'asta al momento dello stacco. Essa deve essere affondata a livello del terreno, lunga 1 m e larga 60 cm nella parte anteriore e 15 cm alla base della tavola d'arresto. La base della cassetta deve inclinarsi dal livello del terreno, nella parte anteriore, fino a una profondità di 20 cm sotto il livello del terreno nel punto in cui s'incontra con la tavola d'arresto.

Salto in alto

Salti in estensione

Salto in lungo e salto triplo
Per il salto in lungo e il salto triplo viene utilizzata la medesima pedana. L'unica differenza sta nella distanza tra l'asse di battuta e la buca di sabbia (zona di caduta).

Questa pedana deve essere lunga almeno 40 ÷ 45 m e larga da 1,22 m a 1,25 m. La pedana di rincorsa deve essere delimitata da due linee bianche parallele larghe 5 cm.

Al termine della pedana di rincorsa, prima della buca di atterraggio contenente la sabbia, si trova l'asse di battuta (o tavola di stacco), la quale deve essere a livello sia con la pedana che con la superficie sabbiosa della zona di caduta. Il bordo della tavola di stacco vicino alla zona di caduta è detto "linea di stacco". Questa linea di stacco non deve essere oltrepassata dagli atleti, pena la non validità del salto. Per aiutare i giudici a verificare l'esecuzione di un salto, deve essere posta al di là della linea di stacco un'asse per la plastilina, sulla quale gli atleti che dovessero eseguire uno stacco nullo, lascerebbero l'impronta delle scarpe.

La distanza tra l'asse di battuta e la fine della zona di caduta deve essere di almeno 10 metri; per quanto riguarda il salto in lungo, la tavola di stacco deve distare tra 1 e 3 metri dall'inizio della zona di caduta, mentre per il salto triplo questa distanza deve essere di non meno di 13 metri per gli uomini e di almeno 11 metri per le donne. Di conseguenza, nel salto triplo la distanza tra l'asse di battuta e la fine della zona di stacco deve essere di almeno 21 metri.

La tavola di stacco deve essere realizzata in legno (o altro materiale rigido adatto) e deve essere rettangolare e misurare da 121 a 122 centimetri di lunghezza (quanto la larghezza della corsia della pedana di rincorsa), mentre deve essere larga da 19,8 a 20,2 centimetri. Deve inoltre essere dipinta di bianco per essere ben visibile agli atleti.

Brian Simonsen, the New York Police Department detective who was shot and killed in a tragic friendly fire incident on duty in Queens, was a married father and 19-year NYPD veteran who was close to retirement.
The tragedy unfolded on February 12, 2019, when Simonsen and a sergeant, Matthew Gorman, were shot while responding to an armed robbery call at a cell phone store. The sergeant was also wounded in the same incident but is expected to survive. The suspect has been named as Christopher Ransom.
"This appears to be an absolute tragic case of friendly fire," Police Commissioner James O'Neill said in a news conference. "…Make no mistake about it, friendly fire aside, it is because of the action of the suspect that Det. Simonsen is dead. The suspect, a 27-year-old resident and career criminal, was shot multiple times…he is listed in stable condition. This is an absolute tragedy." He described a chaotic scene as patrol officers arrived while Simonsen and Gorman were leaving the store after a confrontation with the suspect.
The shooting death was the first NYPD on-duty death by gunfire since 2017, with the last being Miosotis Familia. However, according to Pix 11, it was the second time a New York police officer was shot in three months; in December, another office was shot in a friendly fire incident.
The detective was shot while heroically serving the public on duty; he responded with the sergeant to a T-Mobile store, according to News 1. An armed robbery report had come in via 911, and when the officers arrived, a suspect was "holed up" inside, Daily News reports.
O'Neill said in the press conference that two 911 callers had reported a robbery in progress at the T-Mobile cell phone store on 120th Street in Queens. The suspect was described as a "male armed with a firearm" and two employees were forced at gunpoint to the back of the store, according to a caller. The suspect's name was not immediately released.
The sergeant and Simonsen pulled up just as patrol units were arriving. They were in the area working on an unrelated case and "didn't hesitate," the commissioner said. The officers didn't see anyone inside, so they entered the store, and saw a man fitting the suspect description allegedly advance toward them with a gun. The officers discharged their weapons as the suspect advanced toward them, the commissioner said, and started to leave the store. At that time, Simonsen was shot, according to O'Neill. He was transported in a police squad car to the hospital.
Multiple officers fired multiple rounds, O'Neill said, pledging that there would be an investigation. However, as for the suspect, "recovered by police at the scene was an imitation firearm," the commissioner said.
The sergeant was shot in the leg and a passerby transported him to the hospital, where he is in stable condition.
According to PIX 11, the store's doors were "blown out by the gunfire and glass fragments littered the sidewalk" after the shooting.
Tragically, according to News 1, the detective could have retired in a year.
He was taken to the hospital, where he died. He was promoted to detective in 2008.
The mayor rushed to the hospital. Radio transmissions gave a glimpse into what happened at the scene. "Our hearts are broken again, because a career criminal put lives in jeopardy. Det. Brian Simonsen, 42, was a 19-year-veteran of the #NYPD. He lost his life fighting crime & keeping safe all the people we serve. The sympathies of all New Yorkers are with his family & colleagues," New York Police Commissioner O'Neill wrote.
Tributes to Brian Simonsen began to spread on social media.
"Our thoughts & prayers are with the members of the @nypd, family, & friends of Det. Brian Simonsen who was shot & killed this evening, in Queens, while responding to an armed robbery call. We also wish a speedy recovery to Sgt. Matthew Gorman who was also shot. Fidelis Ad Mortem," wrote the Metropolitan Fire Association on Twitter.
"#NYPD Detective Brian Simonsen, 102 Pct Detective Squad, was murdered tonight during a shootout in Queens. We pray for the families and everyone touched by this tragic event. Sergeant Matthew Gorman was also shot and is in stable condition. God bless and watch over our heroes," wrote Brotherhood NYC.
Brian Simonsen was the elected delegate of his precinct's detective squad. He was described as a person who led by example and by his actions. In fact, authorities said, the detective didn't have to be at work that day because there was a delegate's meeting, and, thus, he was excused from duty. But he showed up anyway.
Authorities said the suspect had an extensive arrest record.
A worker who was in the area of the shooting described the massive law enforcement response.
The person who fired the shot that struck Simonsen was not named. Initial reports that there were two suspects appear to be incorrect as the commissioner described only one suspect.
Witnesses were confused by the fast-moving sequence of events. "I think the suspect shot first. Then the police started opening fire," said Jason Parodi, who was walking nearby, to The New York Post. "At least 11 – 12 shots that I heard." However, as noted, the commissioner now says the shooting was a case of friendly fire.
The police commissioner confirmed that Simonsen was married. The Daily News reports he also left behind two children.
The detective was shot in the chest, according to multiple news reports.
"We are forever indebted to the brave NYPD detective who was killed in Queens tonight and the sergeant who was wounded. May God bless them and their families," Sen. Chuck Schumer wrote on Twitter.
As a detective, Brian Simonsen drew some high-profile cases during his service on the NYPD.
Simonsen was mentioned in a 2011 blog post by the Child Injury Lawyer Network about a Queens babysitter who was accused of falling asleep while drinking Nyquil, at which point a child fell in a mop bucket and drowned.
"NYPD Detective Brian Simonsen testified that (Kristal) Kahn showed no emotion was neither sad nor frantic when she gave her written statement a mere 2 hours after the death," the post reads.

Save over £200 on an RTX 2070 laptop in Dell UK's latest sale
24th August 2020 / 10:30AM
Dell are holding another 72 hour flash sale in the UK today, shaving up to 14% off their range of G3, G5 and Alienware m15 R2 gaming laptops, as well as up to 40% off a wide variety of monitors, including the 240Hz and G-Sync Compatible Alienware AW2521HF. Read on for my pick of the bunch.
Running from now until August 26th, you can get 14% off their various Dell gaming laptops by applying the promo code SAVE14 at checkout, or AW14 if it's an Alienware product. There are plenty of good deals to pick from, too, if you're after a gaming laptop that doesn't break the bank, and you'll find my top picks below.
Dell G5 15 (Ryzen 5 4600H, RX 5600M) – £816 from Dell UK (down from £949)
Dell G3 15 (Core i7-9750H, GTX 1660 Ti) – £1074 from Dell UK (down from £1249)
Dell G3 15 (Core i7-10750H, RTX 2060) – £1031 from Dell UK (down from £1199)
The first is an AMD-based G5 15, which comes with one of AMD's brand-new Ryzen 5 4600H processors and their RX 5600M graphics chip – a cut down version of their excellent RX 5600 GPU. You also get a 15.6in 1920×1080 display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, which is a pretty good set of specs for just over £800. Sure, the storage isn't massive, but as you may well have seen from our regularly updated budget gaming laptop deals hub, it's pretty rare to get an RX 5600M chip for less than £1000. Normally, you're stuck with the less powerful RX 5500M at this kind of price, so at least this goes some way to help make up for the small amount of storage.
Next up is a 9th Gen Intel model with a GTX 1660 Ti graphics chip for just over £1000. Now, you're probably looking at this and saying 'Why on earth would I get this when there's a 10th Gen Intel laptop with a more powerful RTX 2060 graphics chip for £1031 just below it?' and that is, indeed, a fair point. The key difference lies in the display and the amount of storage you get.
While the RTX 2060-powered Dell G3 15 gets you a 512GB SSD and a 15.6in, 1920×1080 display with a 120Hz refresh rate, the GTX 1660 Ti model comes with a 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD combo and a 15.6in, 1920×1080 display with a 144Hz refresh rate. The latter is also a bit brighter, according to Dell's specs, topping out at a peak of 300cd/m2 versus the RTX 2060's 250cd/m2. The latter should still be enough for everyday lighting conditions, but may fall short if it's particularly sunny or you sit to sit in a room with bright, overhead lights. Fortunately, both come with 16GB of RAM. Personally, I'd probably opt for the RTX 2060 model, but you may value more storage and a brighter, smoother-looking display instead.
Finally, there's an RTX 2070 Max-Q model of the G3 15 laptop for just over £1300, which is a saving of £217 with the promo code. This is arguably the best deal of the lot, as you not only get a 10th Gen Core i7 CPU and 16GB of RAM, but you also get a 1TB SSD and a 15.6in, 1920×1080 display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It's the best of everything with hardly any kind of compromise.
If it's an Alienware machine, you're after, meanwhile, then you've got three choices. The 15.6in models both come with an Intel Core i7-9750H processor, 16GB of RAM, and 4K, 60Hz displays, Tobii eye-tracking tech, while the 17.3in model comes with a more upmarket Intel Core i9-9980HK CPU and a 1920×1080 display with a 144Hz refresh rate and Tobii eye-tracking.
Alienware m15 R2 (RTX 2060) – £1633 from Dell UK (down from £1899)
Naturally, they're quite a bit more expensive than the Dell G3 and G5 models, but it also means you're getting bigger savings as a result. Just remember that you'll need to use the promo code AW14 at checkout with these instead of the SAVE14 code reserved for the Dell laptops.
Finally, there's just one Alienware monitor on sale as part of these latest deals, but at least it's a pretty darn good one – the AW2521HF. With a 240Hz refresh rate, 1920×1080 resolution and an accurate IPS panel, the AW2521HF is a great pick for those after a monitor with a super high refresh rate, and it's also one of Nvidia's fully-certified G-Sync Compatible monitors, too, so its variable refresh rate tech should work fine and dandy with AMD and Nvidia graphics cards alike.
Alienware AW2521HF – £350 from Dell UK (down from £429)
Admittedly, this particular monitor has been £350 in almost every Dell sale over the last couple of months, so you're not really saving a huge amount compared to previous discounts. Still, it's a good price for a 240Hz monitor of this size, and is arguably more preferable than my current best 240Hz gaming monitor pick, the AOC C27G2ZU. While the latter can be had for £300 at time of writing, its 27in display and lower pixel density means it's less suited to everyday desktop work than the 25in Alienware. The AOC has a slightly more accurate panel than its Alienware rival, admittedly, but if you don't want to be squinting at web pages and word documents all day long, I reckon you'll be much better off spending the extra £50 here and getting the smaller AW2521HF.

ADVENTUROUS TRIP DOWN THE AMAZON - THE ANGLER AND THE OWL BY VIV DREWA
Attacks by wild animals, stat phones out, will they survive till help comes in this romantic adventurous trip down the Amazon River in The Angler and The Owl by Viv Drewa
OWL & PUSSYCAT PROMOTIONS
Before retiring France Hunter decides to go to the place where she found her first new
species of owl: The Amazon. Her group follows a well know angler, John Sinclair, and his team, along with a reporter who wants to do a story on Hunter.
Once arriving at the site, Sinclair leaves to go further up the river. He has a show to record and is hoping to catch an even larger fish this time.
Hunter and the group with her run into a gruesome nightmare with the satellite phone
destroyed and one man fighting for life. Sinclair is not due to pick them up for another week.
Will they survive?
France Hunter was excited about her first trip to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. Her family planned camping trips here in the past and she just loved it. Now that she graduated from the University of Michigan, with a degree in ornithology, she was more than ready to study her favorite bird: owls. That is until the black bear decided to show up making her trip short in the wilderness and a bit longer in the hospital.
27 years later she finds herself in the Amazon where she is in search of her first new species of owl - the blue-ringed owl. What she didn't expect were the feelings she soon started to feel after meeting John Sinclair who was the host of the television show 'Sinclair's Adventures'. Rounding out the group was Cathy Birch who was gathering information for her latest magazine article.
Author Viv Drewa brings the search for the blue-ringed owl, the dangers of the Amazon and two people who have just met and their feelings for each other. This was a page-turner which I actually finished in 2 nights. Very enjoyable.

Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) is a protein produced by immune cells to signal other immune cells to produce inflammatory factors. TNF is important in protecting against infections but may also result in a variety of auto-immune diseases like ankylosing spondylitis, rheumatoid arthritis, or crohn's disease in the predisposed individual. TNF inhibitors are antibodies that decrease the amount of TNF causing tissue destruction. While decreasing the amount of TNF is associated with control of disease in the vast majority of individuals, in a small minority, modification of TNF levels may result in the appearance of other inflammatory diseases. This is the circumstance associated with TNF induced psoriasis.
The exact frequency of TNF induced psoriasis is not known, but the closest estimate is about 0.001% A published review of the medical literature found 88 articles with 216 TNF inhibitor induced psoriasis patients. The age of psoriasis onset of these individuals was 38.5 years. Of the 216 patients, 40.7% have Crohn disease and 37.0% have RA. The onset of psoriasis occurred about 1 year after the start of therapy in most patients. The corresponding proportion of patients who developed psoriasis has been treated with Remicade (62.5%), Humira (21.8%), and Enbrel (14.4%) for their primary health condition.
The most commonly used approach to manage TNF-induced psoriasis is TNF discontinuation. When the offending drug is stopped, 94% of patients improve. Switching TNF biologics however results in 55% improving. Many individuals respond to topical therapy if the degree of psoriatic involvement is not extensive.
The mechanism by which TNF inhibitor therapy results in the development of psoriasis is not known. This toxicity points out the delicate balance that occurs in the immune system that exists between health and disease.

MLB is streaming a memorable game from your favorite team for opening day
Baseball is back during the coronavirus shutdown, even if it's just re-living your favorite memories.
Author: Associated Press
Published: 11:39 PM PDT March 25, 2020
Updated: 10:42 AM PDT March 26, 2020
NEW YORK — Major League Baseball will air 30 games across its digital platforms Thursday, giving fans plenty of hardball to choose from on an opening day postponed by the coronavirus pandemic.
With its season delayed until at least mid-May, MLB will air one memorable game for each franchise on its YouTube, Twitter and Facebook pages.
The list, which you can find at this link, includes Dave Roberts' series-shifting stolen base for the Boston Red Sox in Game 4 of the 2003 AL Championship Series, the Chicago Cubs ending their championship drought in Game 7 of the 2016 World Series, and perfect games by Félix Hernández and Mark Buehrle.
MLB Network plans to broadcast classic opening day games throughout the day, including Derek Jeter's debut in 1996, and SiriusXM also plans to carry memorable season openers. ESPN2 is airing a Home Run Derby marathon starting with Pete Alonso's impressive show from last summer.
The MLB is calling the initiative "Opening Day at Home"

RELATED: 7-inning doubleheaders? MLBers open to considering new ideas
Stadiums coast-to-coast will be eerily silent for opening day.
From Baltimore to Miami in the east, San Diego to Seattle in the west — and 11 other cities that would have hosted season openers Thursday — there will be no games, or at the remaining 15 MLB stadiums, for at least a couple of more months.
By then, when the weather will be warmer, the Rangers will be able to stay out of the heat by closing the retractable roof at their $1 billion-plus stadium, the only new major league ballpark opening this season.
After the postponement of a Chris Stapleton concert that was to be the inaugural event at Globe Life Park on March 14, only three days after an open house that went on as scheduled, the Rangers were supposed to play an exhibition game there this week. Their home opener was set for next Tuesday after a season-opening series in Seattle.
"The stadium was 100 percent ready to go," said Casey Rapp, GM of the new Rangers stadium for Delaware North Sportservice, which also oversees concessions for 10 other MLB ballparks. "It's the little things that we were trying to make perfect."
While there was plenty of time to finish construction of Globe Life Park, Rapp and his group haven't yet been able to serve people during a full-scale event at the stadium.
Concessionaires start planning months in advance of the openers. That means a lot of products, such as hot dogs, bottled beverages and frozen foods, had already been delivered to many ballparks before the season was put on hold.
"It's definitely different … it's kind of unheard of (that) all the major sports inside the United States would be closed at the exact same time," said Ken Gaber, vice president of operational excellence for Delaware North Sportservice. "Personally, it's difficult. I think everybody feels the exact same way."
Delaware North has donated to local charities more than 41,000 pounds of food, including perishable items already sent to MLB stadiums it operates, and concessions from its other venues, including some NBA and NHL arenas suddenly shut down in the middle of those seasons. There were also several spring training venues at the peak of their schedules.
The World Series champion Washington Nationals have reduced staff at Nationals Park, where a facilities group is still maintaining the ballpark and putting on the finishing touches for the season.
"Prior to every baseball season, you're always working very aggressively to get ready for opening day. That's a fixed date and time and you just have to be ready," said Frank Gambino, Washington's senior vice president of ballpark operations. "We had been working very diligently, and continue to work diligently, to try and get as close as we can to ready for whenever opening day eventually comes."
Gambino said the Nationals were able to defer many of the concession deliveries and stocking of the stadium while monitoring the COVID-19 situation.
There have been no reports of any MLB players testing positive for the novel coronavirus. Two minor leaguers in the Yankees system did, and the Red Sox closed down their entire spring training complex in Fort Myers, Florida, this week after saying that one of their minor league players had tested positive.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks.
The Baltimore Orioles were scheduled to open at home Thursday against the Yankees, likely with a clean-shaven Cole on the mound for the visitors. Camden Yards will be ready whenever the season finally starts, and the Orioles hope to maintain the enthusiasm that was whipped up for the team throughout a now-extended offseason.
"The bright spot in this sort of cloudy day is that our fans will be craving baseball," said Jennifer Grondahl, the Orioles vice president of community development and communications. "If we can put together a season and the entertainment that we have planned and add to that, I feel like we'll be able to continue that momentum."

Q: resize field and resize back outside click I'm new to jquery and I kinda don't get around this. So I have a searchbox (.search) which I want to resize when it's clicked. That does work, the searchfield get's "bigger". But, when I click outside the searchfield I want it to grow back again. I tried doing it with a "body"-click-method. But it doesn't work.
So here's my code:
$(function() {
$('.search').click(function() {
    $('.search').css('width', '450px');
});});

Another question: How can I combine this change with an animation?

A: $('.search').focus(function() {
     $('.search').css('width', '450px');
});
$('.search').blur(function() {
     $('.search').css('width', 'auto');
});

If you want to animate the width change you can do this:
$('.search').focus(function() {
     $('.search').animate({width: '450px'});
});
$('.search').blur(function() {
     $('.search').animate({width: '150px'});
});

Otherwise if you wish to animate another object you can do this:
$('.search').focus(function() {
     $('.search').css('width', '450px');
     $('#id_to_animate').animate({width: '200px'});
});
$('.search').blur(function() {
     $('.search').css('width', '150px');
     $('#id_to_animate').animate({width: '100px'});
});

A: You can use the jQuery blur event to resize the element back down after it loses focus:

Boels Rental is een Europees verhuurbedrijf in machineverhuur en specialistische verhuur zoals units, stroomvoorziening en industriële gereedschappen. Het hoofdkantoor bevindt zich in Sittard.

Geschiedenis
Het bedrijf werd in 1977 in Amstenrade opgericht door Pierre Boels Sr. In 1996 nam zijn zoon Pierre Boels Jr. de dagelijkse leiding over. Al sinds de oprichting voert Boels een actief overname- en groeibeleid. Toen Boels 25 jaar bestond, had het bedrijf 65 vestigingen in 3 landen. Twee jaar later in 2004 openden Boels de 100e vestiging. De laatste grote overname vond plaats in 2020 toen Boels de Scandinavische branchegenoot Cramo overnam.

Momenteel bestaat De Boels Groep uit Boels Rental, Cramo en IQ-Pass. In 2021 is de Boels Rental Groep gevestigd in 18 Europese landen en heeft het bedrijf 750 vestigingen. Er werken in totaal zo'n 7000 medewerkers. Boels is nog steeds een familiebedrijf.

Begin 2022 werd Eekels Pompen overgenomen. Dit bedrijf verhuurt pompen en bestaat al sinds 1914. Het telt 60 medewerkers in vier vestigingen, op Chemelot in Geleen, Ridderkerk, Zwolle en in het Belgische Stabroek.

Duurzaamheid
De laatste jaren richt Boels zich meer op duurzamer bouwen. Maatschappelijke discussies en nieuwe wet- en regelgeving versnellen dit proces. Het Klimaatakkoord en daaruit volgende initiatieven zoals 'Green Deal Het Nieuwe Draaien' richten zich op klimaatneutraal bouwen en minder uitstoot. Het verhuurbedrijf claimt het grootste assortiment emissieloze machines en hybride alternatieven te hebben in diverse categorieën zoals grondverzet, infra, hoogwerkers en groenonderhoud. Middels de campagne 'Oranje is het nieuwe groen' zet Boels zich in de markt als de verhuurpartner voor emissieloze machines en duurzaam advies.

Sponsoring
Boels was jarenlang sponsor van het vrouwenwielrennen. Het bedrijf was 8 jaar hoofdsponsor van het Boels Dolmans Cycling Team. In 2020 stopte Boels als hoofdsponsor en naamgever van het vrouwenwielrenteam. Ook stopte Boels als hoofdsponsor van de Boels Ladies Tour. Het verhuurbedrijf blijft als sponsor betrokken bij grote klassiekers als Amstel Gold Race, Waalse Pijl en Luik-Bastenaken-Luik.

Walking around Stephansdom early in the morning certainly has its merits. With still nearly no one around, it gives the perfect opportunity to watch this place coming to life. There are the horses and their fiacres, the horsedrivers trying to make their horses look at their best and cleaning the stones in the street with water whenever one of the horses has got rid of his excretions. It is only later that Mozart-lookalikes start to appear and lure visitors to a concert inside the Stephansdom, or a tour of the cathedral, as more and more people flock to this religious heart of the Austrian capital city.
I was also able to have a quiet look at the structure from all sides. Especially the famed roof makes for a sight in itself. With thousands of coloured tiles, it depicts the Austrian eagle and figurines in white, green, black and yellow. Since the cathedral is situated on a rather small square surrounded by buildings, standing right under the tallest tower, the Steffl, makes you realize how high it actually is. During my second visit to the Stephansdom, the façade was unfortunately under repair, so I concentrated more on the inside of the cathedral which was very colourful thanks to the coloured strips hanging down the tall windows. This also meant that it was no longer possible to see the beautiful stained glass windows behind the coloured banners. As it was very full in the cathedral, and I was tight on time, I decided to only briefly walk through the Stephansdom, and then walk around it once again to also enjoy the views of sculptures around the tall building.
I also walked up the 343 dazzling and dizzying steps to the platform from which a good view can be had from the city and surroundings. People below on the square look like mice crawling around a piece of cheese. Also, the roof can be better observed, and there is a tile on display which gives you an idea of the size of those lying on top of the roof. The Stephansdom is so much part of Vienna, that when it was badly damaged in 1945, it took just three years of national effort to restore it to its former glory. Its location means that whoever stands below the cathedral in one of the narrow streets surrounding it, must feel in awe for this impressive structure.

AOU 2011 Day 2: More videos!
Here's more follow-up on the AOU 2011 expo and today we have more to watch in terms of videos!click below for videos of Let's Go Island 3D, Chaos Code, Taito's booth, NESiCAXLIVE, Aquapazza, Tekken Tag 2, Koihime Dream and more!
If you want to know what it's like to wander around the show floor, then I would say this is the video to watch as that's all it is – walking around AOU 2011. It certainly gives you a feel for navigating through the throngs of people that were there. Sega's Let's Go Island 3D – Just in case we haven't emphasized the whole 52″ 3D screen that requires no glasses enough yet, here's a video showing it off for the first time. Here is a direct trailer of LGI3D but I don't have a pair of red/blue 3D glasses to test it out with. Sega also had a new version of their Project DIVA Arcade machine there Everyone seemed to have a fighter game at AOU and Sega was no exception. Here is their latest 2D fighter running off Ringwide, Chaos Code. One thing I'm not sure about is how this game is related to Project Cerebus – either they are based in the same "universe" or this is what PC became. One thing I am surprised to NOT see is Initial D6. That was on test a short time ago and Sega has it slated for an early March release in Japan, so I wonder why they decided not to show it off?
Hopefully with darious not making an appearance can possibly be a good thing with it not appearing at eag this year. There hasn't been an arcade shmp for years now and darious would do just right and why waste money translating it into English? I do find it weird missing in action at this show.
As for let's go island will it have new features that extend the story or is it just the same game but with a 3D glasses less monitor? From the looks of it it looks like the main characters Nora and Ben are not the main characters now like in let's go jungle and also does the 3D version use motion seats?


The peacocks were not out to make friends. They were out to do what they liked, when they liked. They chose this particular time on this particular night for the same reason they chose to eat the flowers in the side garden the moment they bloomed. They preferred roses and hyacinths, but deigned to eat tulips as well. They had claimed every inch of the farm, which meant the wide expanse of lawn in front of the farmhouse shimmered under a layer of white refuse.
The peacocks chased the peahens across the crunchy grass, short legs thrusting, three-pronged feet grabbing at the dirt. The females stole glances over their shoulders. Fans were unfolded and then gathered back close. White, yellow and green eyes stared out from the feathers, ogling the darkness.
The males covered the ground with improbable speed. They trampled grass and hay and hopped onto the white fence that lined the property. The wooden beams objected, leaning beneath the sudden weight. The birds puffed out their chests. They opened their beaks and screamed. They sustained the noise until a lone flower fell from the magnolia tree. The petals drifted, reluctant and aromatic, to the ground.
In the center of town, Melvin and Cookie huddled together on the floor of her room. They spoke in rushed whispers designed to fit between the bouts of noise.
"I hit my eye," she said. "I hit it hard."
Cookie's window was open. Enough moonlight coated the scene for Melvin to see that her right eye had already puffed up; it looked like a knuckled fist ready to throw a punch. A dark pink stain spread across the skin.
"I can feel it throbbing. Oh my God, I'll look terrible tomorrow."
"You'll look beautiful. You always do," Melvin said. He meant this. He had met her on a park bench in the city several months earlier, and since that moment had never seen her look anything less than perfect. He almost didn't believe that the bruise existed, even as he watched it grow and deepen.
Cookie didn't hear him. Something occurred to her, and she gazed at him with fresh panic. "Is it after midnight?"
Melvin looked down at his bare wrist. His watch was back in the guest room, lying on the night table. "I think so. It must be."
"You're not supposed to see me until the altar. This is bad luck!"
He wanted to reply, but the noise was unrelenting. It plowed through the walls. It crowded the room.
Cookie sobbed and cupped a hand over her eye. She reached out for Melvin with the other. She was glad she wasn't alone in this dark room, which had become, after an absence of almost three years, strangely unfamiliar. She hoped that returning home had been the right decision. She hoped that asking Melvin to move here had been the right decision. Cookie had never fallen out of bed in her life. Her eye pulsed against her palm. She thought about her wedding dress and she thought about tomorrow, which was also, apparently, today.

Careers Quotes
The truth will only be told over a career.
Before Sunrise did very well internationally. It made as much in Italy and Korea as it did here.

Stories Quotes

Filmmakers are going to make films, just like painters are going to paint.
Hollywood has a way of sucking the world's talent to it.
I think I got really lucky with Slacker. That was a film that probably shouldn't have been seen.

Sides Quotes
I'd be fine to make movies and have them never come out. But you have to deal with the business side. You can't get too emotionally invested, because again, you've got no control. There's going to be some huge film out that everyone goes to, and it probably won't be mine.
…[Thomas Wolfe] says that we are the sum of all the moments of our lives, and that, uh, anybody who sits down to write is gonna use the clay of their own life, that you can't avoid that.
There are so many great artists, I think, who kind of suffer from being icons, legends, acknowledged masters.
You make a film and you can't really pick the way it's put to the public. You control the content, but the way it's marketed, or the poster, or what they're telling the public about the film, it's beyond you. Some people don't even see them, because they think they already know it. That can be frustrating, when something you've done is marketed in a way you think is antithetical to what it is.
Feel Good Quotes
That's the history of art - you have to consider yourself fortunate if you ever get acknowledged. If you have a critical success that's also a financial success and that you feel good about... If things line up, that's pretty rare.
Seems Quotes
It has to be very tight to seem loose.
Ifs Quotes
If you establish rules and play by them, the audience will buy in.
To those humans in whom I have faith; I wish suffering, being forsaken, sickness, maltreatment, humiliation. I wish that they should not remain unfamiliar with profound self-contempt, the torture of self-mistrust, and the misery of the vanquished. I have no pity for them because I wish them the only thing that can prove today whether one is worth anything or not—that one endures' . . . Remember, the passion for destruction is also a creative passion.
As a teenager, I wanted to write novels. By college, it was theater, plays, and then, shortly, it was film.
Sea Quotes
In a sea of stories, find the right one to tell, and the right way to tell it.
People think drama drives story, but I think the comedy is really the heart and soul.
It's hard to see a film one time and really "get it," and write fully and intelligently about it. That's a review. That's not film criticism.
The idea is to remain in a state of constant departure, while always arriving.
Monogamy, monotony. There's only a couple of letters...
Odds Quotes
As we know from our government, the more power you have, the more of a bureaucrat you are, and the more ego you have invested in being right, the greater the odds are that you will never change your opinion.
I didn't have any set idea of what kind of filmmaker I wanted to be. I knew I wanted to tell stories that meant something to me, but I never said I was going to be the weird, avant-garde guy.
When you're trying to get laid, everything's great, but once you've been with someone eight years and the future is not finite, you have time to sit and really examine every little thing that irritates you.
Slackers might look like the left-behinds of society, but they are actually one step ahead, rejecting most of society and the social hierarchy before it rejects them. The dictionary defines slackers as people who evade duties and responsibilities. A more modern notion would be people who are ultimately being responsible to themselves and not wasting their time in a realm of activity that has nothing to do with who they are or what they might be ultimately striving for.
Dream Quotes
The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. Because, if you can do that, you can do anything.
Magic In The World Quotes
I believe if there's any kind of God it wouldn't be in any of us, not you or me but just this little space in between. If there's any kind of magic in this world it must be in the attempt of understanding someone sharing something. I know, it's almost impossible to succeed but who cares really? The answer must be in the attempt.
Generations Quotes
The rules of parenting have changed. By the modern definition, we were a generation of neglected children.
There are a million ideas in a world of stories. Humans are storytelling animals. Everything's a story, everyone's got stories, we're perceiving stories, we're interested in stories. So to me, the big nut to crack is to how to tell a story, what's the right way to tell a particular story.
I think maybe making films is something innate you can't really teach to begin with.
Love Is Quotes
I'm lucky that I get to jump around, do a big-budget comedy and then a smaller film. I don't even make a big distinction between them. No one believes this, but it's the same. I'm the same person, trying to make it work. I just love being on a movie set. I like making movies.
Memory is a wonderful thing if you don't have to deal with the past.
I can't help but think that at the end of your life, when you look back, there'll be a tone. And that tone will come from the essence of how you live your day to day what you did in that between time because that is really your life.
Feelings Quotes
Being alone is better than sitting next to a lover and feeling lonely.

Telltale's Game of Thrones Episode 4 Review: Wordy Warfare
Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series
https://www.gamezebo.com/2015/06/03/telltales-game-thrones-episode-4-review-wordy-warfare/

Top-notch voice-work (apart from one character)
Still bug/glitch free.
Story felt dragged on, even boring at times.
Considering how disappointing Episodes One and Two of Telltale's Game of Thrones series were (due to bugs and glitches), Episode Three surprised me by releasing as a very stable experience. With renewed interest in Telltale's Game of Thrones series, I went into Episode Four with high hopes, excited to see how the last half of the story would begin.
(It's worth noting, however, that the hiccups found in Episode One and Two were eventually smoothed out with an update).
Maybe my hopes were a little too high, or maybe Episode 4's launch trailer seen below) just did too good of a job hyping me up for the episode; I was ultimately let down by lackluster experiences, and dull, drawn-out character encounters. The action was there, the edge-of-your-seat-moments as well, but they were both overshadowed by a lot of stuff that I just didn't find interesting.
For one, every experience with Daenerys Targaryan was really, really boring. I could ramble at length as to why I think she's the most boring character in the franchise, but that's a discussion for another place. The scenes with Daenerys in "Sons of Winter" (of which we interact more with her than any of the other "show" characters, this time around) were dull affairs. It felt like she was being featured just to be able to advertise her existence in this episode, as she didn't really serve a purpose other than to talk down to Asher and show off her dragon.
On top of The Mother of Dragons feeling shoehorned in, Emilia Clarke's voice work for Daenerys in this episode was pretty rough. Her delivery of some lines was noticeably sub-par, standing in stark contrast to all of the other voice actors who continually deliver outstanding performances in Telltale's series.
In previous episodes, nearly every scene and character segment was driven and had a purpose, or was super tense which added to the overall gameplay experience. Both of these options ensured that the episodes were full of memorable scenes that stuck with me long after I stopped playing; the murder in Episode 1, Talia's song in Episode 2, sneaking through King's Landing in Episode 3 — these are examples just off of the top of my head.
After completing Episode 4, I can only recall a couple of scenes that I'd describe as memorable. The story in Sons of Winter was just a whole lot of nothing. There was literally one portion where I was tasked with just moving from bench to bench at a party to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
It was as dull as Ilyn Payne at a dinner party.
I find it ironic that the story, which is what kept me interested in the series during it's technical rough patch, is now at its weakest when the technical issues have been patched up. It's also worth noting that Game of Thrones is the only Telltale Games series to have six episodes instead of five. I can only speculate as to why Game of Thrones got the extra episode, but after experiencing Episode 4, I can say that there is no doubt that they could have stuck to just five episodes and done just fine.

ORION, Bataan – About 1,081 families who were victims of the recent fire in Barangay Capunitan, this town received social and financial assistance from the national and local government.
"To all those affected by the fire, please accept our heartfelt sympathy and we will not stop providing assistance until all of you get back to your proper lives," Governor Albert Garcia pledged.
The Provincial Government allocated PhP10 million to assist the victims and provided PhP10,000 cash assistance to each affected family.
Victims were transferred to Bataan National School of Fisheries to properly provide a more comfortable area with tents.
Garcia stressed that he will coordinate with the National Housing Authority and Department of Environment and Natural Resources to provide a relocation site to the affected residents.
Meanwhile, Department of Social Welfare and Development Region 3 has already distributed 1,018 packs of food, family kit (clothes and undergarments), and sleeping kit.
Various civil society organizations and volunteer groups have also coordinated with the municipal government of Orion to provide more assistance.
The town is now under state of calamity due to the incident that hit about 800 houses.

How Long Can You Live Without Food: A Complete Timeline
by Prathishtha Kaushik January 12, 2023 January 12, 2023 0280
Food is the fuel of our body, it takes energy from it and hydration from water. If a person is terminally ill and can't consume food in any way that he or she can survive from days to weeks, depending upon the fat resources, energy and overall health status.
To satisfy the curiosity that how long can a person live without food, scientists have to take accidental case studies into consideration, for example, studying those who got trapped somewhere or an individual who desperately tried to lose weight or those who are on a hunger strike. As it is unethical to keep the human subjects hungry for research purposes.
Based on many such study results, scientists have found out that an average built healthy person can survive from 8 to 21 days without food and can survive for about two months if water is available and can survive way more than that if electrolyte water is available.
In this article, we have covered:
How many Days will You Last without Food?
Risks for Not Eating Food
What Will Happen If You won't Eat Anything
This big question still remains without an exact answer as it depends upon many aspects of the person such as age, gender, weight, overall health & environmental conditions. For example, a child in a forest on a hot summer day won't survive for about two days without water and food but an adult can survive the same condition for about a week or so.
Females are also known to survive longer without food than men which can be due to their genetic makeup or due to the fat deposition in many areas of the body such as breast and hip areas.
Also, an obese person can survive longer than an average-built person as the body will consume fat first before consuming its own muscle mass. So an obese person will have more fat to get burnt before the body switches to proteins than an average-built person.
As far as weight is concerned, a BMI of less than 13 for men and less than 11 for women can be fatal and the person won't survive beyond that.
Those who are terminally ill can survive for about 10 to 14 days without food and water before ultimately dying.
If you are obese and trying to lose weight then quitting food is not a safe way to do that. Starvation almost always hampers some of body's functioning and can cause a liver disorder or heart problem.
Based on a single case study, if an obese person stays on a liquid diet with multivitamins and electrolyte administration then he/she can survive for about more than 50 days.
Not eating food becomes difficult after 24 hours or so and the body starts showing various warning signs after 72 hours. Although these signs can appear sooner or later in a person based on their resilience, health conditions, gender and weight.
Body functions start hampering like urination decreases and constipation occurs as the body tries to preserve water and energy.
Dizziness, weakness, fatigue
Electrolyte Imbalance and mineral deficiency
Low blood pressure, shortness of breath and low pulse rate can lead to fainting and ultimately heart troubles
Anaemia occurs
Confusion and inability to concentrate
Low body temperature
Hair thinning, dry skin & hair loss
Irregularity of menstrual periods due to endocrine dysfunction
Dehydration and kidney failure if no water is being taken
Organ Failure or body shutdown
Death from Starvation

The body starts going into different steps of survival mode as the days of starvation progress. In the last stage, it starts eating its own protein from the muscles and shuts down completely. This process can be very difficult for terminally ill patients.
After 8 to 12 Hours
In the initial hours, all the functions run normally in the body as it has the reserved fuel for the day. After about 12 hours almost all the free sugar roaming around in the blood has been consumed by the body for the functioning of organs.
12 hours to 24 hours
After 12 to 16 hours, the body's functioning changes as it tries to adjust to the new scenario of not getting any new energy fuel. It sends a message to the liver to make glucose. The liver does that by consuming any available source such as free sugar in the blood, protein, waste products, fat etc.
The body uses protein sources (amino acids) for energy primarily for the first 24 to 72 hours of starvation. It uses readily available amino acids in the body and not the muscle mass.
After 72 hours or three days
In this phase, the body now starts using fat and a state of ketosis is achieved. Noticeable weight loss occurs because of fat consumption by the body for energy.
After 7 to 14 Days
After the fat stores are depleted, the body starts using proteins again, these proteins are then taken from muscles, including the heart muscles.
This is a dangerous phase as it can cause severe changes in the body and the patient is at a greater risk of heart attack and death. After losing 10% of body weight, the situation starts worsening for the person undergoing starvation thereby leading to death.
To the terminally ill patients or the ICU patients who are unable to eat anything, hypotonic solutions are advised than plain water or IV fluids. As hypotonic solutions get absorbed better and provide rehydration to the body faster. You can also make an electrolyte drink hypotonic by adding some distilled water to it if you are trying to lose weight with intermittent fasting or any such diet.
Also, those on a clear liquid diet can also opt for a good electrolyte drink to avoid dehydration and to treat nausea, vomiting and diarrhea as well.
However, if you are trying to lose weight faster then don't go for starvation but switch to intermittent fasting as it doesn't deprive the body and leads to faster weight loss as well. As the body goes into autophagy after 12 hours, the intermittent fasting regime can help you lose weight faster. You can take green tea and electrolyte drinks during the fasting period.
On average, a person can live for a week without food and water and more than a month if plenty of water is available.

Why Did Ronn Moss Leave Bold And the Beautiful
Ronn Moss, who played Ridge Forrester on Bold and the Beautiful for 25 years, announced his departure from the show in 2012. There were a variety of reasons cited for his decision to leave, including the desire to pursue other projects and spend more time with his family. Whatever the reasons, Ronn Moss will be missed by fans of the show who have followed the Forresters for generations.
It's been a little over a year since Ronn Moss left The Bold and the Beautiful, and fans are still wondering why. Some speculate that it was because he wanted to spend more time with his family, while others believe that he was simply ready for a change. Whatever the reason, there's no doubt that Moss will be missed by viewers who have followed the show for decades.
Here's a look at some of the reasons why fans think Ronn Moss decided to leave The Bold and the Beautiful. 1. He Wanted to Spend More Time With His Family Ronn Moss has always been very private about his personal life, but it's widely believed that one of the reasons he decided to leave The Bold and the Beautiful is because he wanted to spend more time with his family.
He has three children from two previous marriages, and it's possible that he felt like he was missing out on their lives while working such long hours on the CBS soap opera. In an interview with Soap Opera Digest shortly after his departure, Moss hinted at this being one of his motivations for leaving when he said, "I'm really looking forward to having more time in my day…and night." 2. He Was Ready for a Change
After 25 years on The Bold and the Beautiful, it's understandable if Ronn Moss was feeling ready for a change. He had played Ridge Forrester since 1987, and while it's undoubtedly one of the most iconic roles in soap opera history, it's possible that Moss was simply ready to move on to something new. This could explain why he chose not to pursue other acting gigs after leaving The Bold and the Beautiful; instead, he seems content to focus on his music career (he's part of the band Player) and spending time with his family.
3. He Didn't Agree With Storylines Involving His Character Another possibility is that Ronn Moss didn't agree with some of the storylines involving Ridge Forrester in recent years. While Ridge has always been a central character on The Bold and the Beautiful, there have been times when writers have taken him in directions that didn't sit well with viewers – or with Moss himself.
It's possible that this played a role in his decision to leave; after all, if an actor isn't happy with their character's storyline, it can make filming scenes incredibly difficult (not to mention unenjoyable).
Why Did Ronn Moss (Original Ridge) Leave Bold and the Beautiful?
Ronn Moss Car Accident
On March 9, 2016, Ronn Moss was involved in a car accident. The accident occurred on the 101 freeway in Los Angeles. Moss was driving his Porsche when he collided with another vehicle.
The other driver was at fault and was cited for DUI. Moss sustained minor injuries and was treated at the scene by paramedics.
Who is Leaving the Bold And the Beautiful 2022
As we approach the end of 2021, we have to start thinking about who is leaving The Bold and the Beautiful in 2022. There are a few names that have been floated around, and we wanted to take a moment to break them down. First up is Rena Sofer.
She has played Quinn Fuller since 2013, but her contract is up at the end of this year. She recently spoke about her time on the show, saying: "It's been an amazing ride. I've loved every minute." However, she also said that she's ready for something new, so it seems like she may be headed for the exit.
Next is Annika Noelle. She joined The Bold and the Beautiful in 2018 as Hope Logan, and she has become a fan-favorite character. However, her contract is also up at the end of this year, and there's no word on whether or not she will be renewing it.
If she does leave, it would be a big blow to the show because Hope is such a central character. Finally, there's Katherine Kelly Lang. She has played Brooke Logan for over 30 years, but her contract expires in March 2022.
She hasn't said anything publicly about her future on the show, but given her long tenure, it wouldn't be surprising if she decided to move on to other projects. So those are three major players whose contracts are up at the end of this year or early next year. It remains to be seen whether or not they will all renew their contracts or if some of them will decide to leave The Bold and the Beautiful behind in 2022.
What is Ronn Moss Doing Now
Ronn Moss is an actor, musician, and producer best known for his role as Ridge Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful. Ronn has also appeared in a number of films and television shows over the years, including Baywatch, Melrose Place, and Beverly Hills 90210. These days, Ronn is keeping busy with a variety of projects.
He has a band called Player, which released an album in 2015, and he continues to tour with the group around the world. He also has his own line of men's clothing called RMC (Ron Moss Couture). In addition to all of this, Ronn is still acting; he recently had a role in the film Second Chance Christmas and can be seen in upcoming episodes of the TV series NCIS: Los Angeles.
With so much going on, it's clear that Ronn Moss is anything but bored!

Ronn Moss, who played Ridge Forrester on "The Bold and the Beautiful" for 25 years, announced his departure from the show in 2012. In an interview with TV Guide Magazine, Moss said that he was leaving to pursue other creative endeavors and to spend more time with his family. He also said that he had accomplished everything he wanted to do on the show.
What was the Reason for His Departure
It is unclear why John Greenleaf Whittier left his position as editor of the National Era. Some sources say that he was offered a job with better pay, while others speculate that he may have been fired due to his abolitionist views. Regardless of the reason, Whittier's departure from the National Era coincided with an increase in anti-slavery sentiment in the North, which helped contribute to the eventual success of the abolitionist movement.
How Will His Character Be Written off the Show
When it was announced that Andrew Lincoln would be leaving The Walking Dead, fans were understandably upset. While the show has killed off major characters before, it's always been done in a way that made sense within the story. So how will Rick Grimes be written off the show?
Here are some possible theories: 1. He Could Be Killed Off This is probably the most likely scenario, as it would be a very emotional and impactful way to write him off the show.
However, it would also be pretty brutal for fans to watch. Especially if it's done in a graphic or gruesome way. 2. He Could Leave To Go Find His Family
Another possibility is that Rick could leave the group in order to find his wife and son. This would make sense within the context of the story, but it would mean that we wouldn't see much of him on screen anymore. 3. He Could Be Witten Out Of The Show Entirely
A less popular theory is that Rick could simply be written out of the show entirely. This would mean that he wouldn't die or leave, but we just wouldn't see him on screen anymore. This seems like a pretty unlikely scenario, but Stranger things have happened…
After 25 years on the show, Ronn Moss decided to leave The Bold and the Beautiful. He cited creative differences with the new head writer as his reason for leaving. Moss had been with the show since it began in 1987, and played the role of Ridge Forrester.
He was one of the original cast members, and his departure leaves only two original cast members still on the show (John McCook and Katherine Kelly Lang).

World Sailing: Olympians willing to risk illness for medals
LONDON (AP) Competing in waters in the picturesque heart of Rio de Janeiro.
Staying in the Olympic village with tickets and the ceremonies.
And, most importantly, collecting an Olympic medal.
These will justify the risk of being infected by Rio's polluted waters, according to a World Sailing federation official.
Sarah Gosling, a two-time Olympic champion who now sits on the World Sailing council as the athletes' representative, does not deny the viruses and bacteria pose a danger in Rio's sewage-infested waters.
The Briton simply believes that Olympic glory makes the risk worthwhile.
''Winning a gold medal will make up for anything - it's really not that relevant,'' Gosling said on Tuesday, discussing the fetid waters. ''There are plenty and plenty of reports out there about athletes who their whole life is about winning medals, and anything that happens on the way is kind of irrelevant.''
Tests conducted by The Associated Press this year exposed the pollution levels in Rio's waterways. The most recent results released this month showed more contamination than previously believed, increasing the risk to athletes.
In July, the AP reported disease-causing viruses directly linked to human sewage at levels up to 1.7 million times what would be considered highly alarming in the U.S. or Europe. Experts said athletes were competing in the viral equivalent of raw sewage, and exposure to dangerous health risks almost certain.
Recent tests showed the sailing venue of Guanabara Bay to be as rife with pathogens far offshore as it was nearer land, where raw sewage flows from contaminated rivers and storm drains.
''Obviously pollution is a problem, the objects in the water are an issue, but we as athletes do feel the ISAF (World Sailing) and the IOC are doing everything they can within the constraints of it being in Brazil,'' Gosling said. ''For sailing to be in the center of the Olympics right there, for athletes to be able to stay in the village, to be able to go to the opening and closing ceremony, it's a massive deal.
''And the pictures and the films will be incredible. So, while athletes obviously want it to be fair, safe, and clean, just to be there and be part of the actual Rio Olympics is awesome.''
Rio's waterways, like those of many developing nations, are extremely contaminated. By the city's own estimate, only half of the waste water following into the bay is treated.
''I don't think anyone is naive enough to suggest the pipe belt miraculously cures all the problems at Guanabara Bay,'' said Alastair Fox, head of events at World Sailing. ''There are all sorts of issues with heavy rainfall and bringing a lot more debris and whatever bacteria into the bay.''
Organizers are capping off open pipes through which raw sewage flows into the bay at Marina da Gloria, the launching point for sailing. This is a stop-gap measure that does little to reduce the level of viruses in the bay.
''The marina isn't going to fix everything,'' Fox said. ''Our biggest headache has always been in the Marina da Gloria and the waterfront along Flamengo beach.''
Fox said there are ''alternative bioremediation and oxygenation'' plans that will be implemented if the pipe belt does not fix the problem.
Brazil's economy was booming when Rio was awarded the games in 2009, but the country is now in its worst recession since the 1930s. Those financial difficulties have seen delays to planned projects, including a 60 million real ($19 million) venture to revitalize the city's Marina da Gloria.
Carlo Croce, president of World Sailing, said he had been told by IOC President Thomas Bach to stop pressing Olympic organizers about their failure to complete projects.
''When you face something like the difference in economics that Brazil has faced in the last two years it is difficult to sort of maintain your promises,'' he said. ''They cannot do it, simply. Thomas asked us to please not press too much because we had been over-pressing the (Rio) organization ... the finance was there in the beginning but it's not there anymore.''

Q: How to reset index for pandas.core.series My dataframe contains a string column 'code_desc' which contains  with codes in it.
I have a pandas.core.series generated by the code below:
d = {'R438': 'The person is a Ninja',
     'R727': 'The person is a Pirate',
.....}

pat = r'\b(%s)\b' % '|'.join(d)
codes = df['codes_desc'].str.extractall(pat)[0]
df['reference'] = codes.map(d).groupby(level=0).agg(', '.join)

Here is the output of 'codes'
   matches
0  0        R438

I have tried using .reset_index(level=1, inplace=True, drop=True) but this seems not to be working as I want to reset the index for it.
