Q: Как сделать возможность ввода во время цикла в C#? Мне нужно, чтобы во время цикла был доступен ввод от пользователя, дабы ввести код деактивации. Не понимаю, как сделать.
Мой код:
Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
Console.WriteLine("Введите код для активации бомбы:");
string bombCode = Console.ReadLine();
if (Convert.ToInt32(bombCode) == 30032005)
{
    Console.WriteLine("До взрыва осталось 45 секунд. Чтобы разминировать бомбу - введите код деактивации.");
    for (int bombtimer = 45; bombtimer >= 0; bombtimer--)
    {
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
        Console.WriteLine($"До взрыва осталось {bombtimer} секунд.");
    }
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Неверный код для активации бомбы!");
}

A: Немного асинхронного и объектно-ориентированного программирования, и вот что получилось.
Создадим класс бомбы, он будет отвечать за разблокировку и отсчет оставшегося времени.
public class Bomb
{
    private TimeSpan _second = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1);
    private int _code;
    private TimeSpan _time;
    private CancellationTokenSource _cts;
    private int _left;
    private int _top;

    public bool Armed => _cts != null;

    public Bomb(int code, TimeSpan time)
    {
        _code = code;
        _time = time;
        Console.Write("Осталось: ");
        _top = Console.CursorTop;
        _left = Console.CursorLeft;
        Console.WriteLine(_time.ToString("mm\\:ss"));
    }

    public async void Arm()
    {
        using (_cts = new CancellationTokenSource())
        {
            await RunTimer(_cts.Token);
        }
        _cts = null;
    }

    public void Disarm(int code)
    {
        if (_cts == null)
            return;

        if (code == _code)
            _cts?.Cancel();
        else
            Console.WriteLine("Неверный код");
    }

    private async Task RunTimer(CancellationToken token)
    {
        try
        {
            while (_time >= TimeSpan.Zero)
            {
                _time -= _second;
                await Task.Delay(1000, token);
                int tmpLeft = Console.CursorLeft;
                int tmpTop = Console.CursorTop;
                Console.SetCursorPosition(_left, _top);
                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
                Console.WriteLine(_time.ToString("mm\\:ss"));
                Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Gray;
                Console.SetCursorPosition(tmpLeft, tmpTop);
            }
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Red;
            Console.WriteLine("Бах!");
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Gray;
        }
        catch (OperationCanceledException)
        {
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
            Console.WriteLine("Обезврежено.");
            Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Gray;
        }
    }
}

Ну и давайте играть с этим классом
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Активация.");
        int code;
        do
        {
            Console.Write("Введите код: ");
            if (!int.TryParse(ReadPassword(), out code) || code <= 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Неподходящий код, попробуйте еще раз.");
            }
        }
        while (code <= 0);

        int seconds;
        do
        {
            Console.Write("Введите время в секундах: ");
            if (!int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out seconds) || seconds <= 0)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Неподходящее время, попробуйте еще раз.");
            }
        }
        while (seconds <= 0);

        Bomb bomb = new Bomb(code, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(seconds));
        Console.WriteLine("Нажмите любую клавишу для активации...");
        Console.ReadKey(true);
        bomb.Arm();
        while (bomb.Armed)
        {
            Console.Write("Введите код: ");
            if (int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out code) && code > 0)
                bomb.Disarm(code);
            else
            if (bomb.Armed)
                Console.WriteLine("Неподходящий код, попробуйте еще раз.");
        }
    }

    private static string ReadPassword()
    {
        string password = string.Empty;
        ConsoleKey key;
        do
        {
            ConsoleKeyInfo keyInfo = Console.ReadKey(true);
            key = keyInfo.Key;

            if (key == ConsoleKey.Backspace && password.Length > 0)
            {
                Console.Write("\b \b");
                password = password[0..^1];
            }
            else if (!char.IsControl(keyInfo.KeyChar))
            {
                Console.Write("*");
                password += keyInfo.KeyChar;
            }
        } while (key != ConsoleKey.Enter);
        Console.WriteLine();
        return password;
    }
}

Вывод в консоль
Активация.
Введите код: ****
Введите время в секундах: 120
Осталось: 01:52
Нажмите любую клавишу для активации...
Введите код: 123
Неверный код
Введите код: 1234
Обезврежено.

В качестве домашнего задания, разберитесь с этим кодом. Очень важно понять, как это работает. Это наверняка еще можно доработать. Например, вводить долго коды, таймер уезжает вверх и консоль начинает дергаться, чтобы отрисовать время. Но это можно исправить вводя код на одном и том же месте консоли, аналогично как выводится время в одном и том же месте.

Q: Parallels Plesk + IIS7 asp.net 4.0 error: Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework' I'm using a godaddy VPS with parallels plesk. Since my application is asp.net 4.0 I get the error:
"Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'

I realize it's because the application pools are set to asp.net 2.0, which I can't change in plesk, so I remote connect to my server, open IIS7, go into my application pools and set all of them to asp.net 4.0, but then I get this detailed error: (caused by changing plesk(default)(2.0)(pool) to 4.0)
HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by
the static file handler.

Most Likely Causes:

•The request matched a wildcard mime map. The request is mapped to the
static file handler. If there were different pre-conditions, the
request will map to a different handler.

How can I get my asp.net 4.0 web application to run properly? There must be a decent way to get my asp.net application to run with parallels plesk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: Getting the following error when you deploy your first asp.net 4.0 website:
Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'. Note that attribute names are case-sensitive.
is most likely because of either of 2 reasons:
1. You installed the .net 4.0 bits after IIS was set up, resulting in the wrong version of the .NET framework beeing registered with IIS.
Most often the above results in conflicting versions of the framework, and so the easiest way of solving this is to re-register the .NET extensions with IIS using the aspnet_regiss tool. Make sure you run it from an elevated command prompt and that you use the correct version (in the v4.xx folder that is, not the v2.xx one). On my dev machine this tool is located in:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319
and you run it with the -iru flags like so:
aspnet_regiis.exe -iru
2. You haven't set the framework of the IIS application to the correct version of .NET (4.0 that is)
Change this using either the IIS Manager or the command line. In IIS Manager you select 'Application Pools', click the Application you've pointed you site to use, select 'Basic Settings' in the 'Actions' pane and change the '.NET framework version'.
This post over at MSDN should also be of great help. Gotta love Microsoft's documentation!

Is the state of Australia's health system considered an important issue in your electorate?
An estimated 1.23 million electors say improving health and hospitals is an important issue and that the L-NP would be better for managing the issue.
While this represents around 8.9% of all electors nationwide, there is enormous variation — and is much higher in some important marginal ALP seats, like Robertson, NSW (14.7%); Braddon, Tas (14.0%); Dawson, QLD (13.0%); Hasluck, WA (12.6%); and Page, NSW (12.3%) and Bass, Tas (11.7%).


This site is so inspiring. Can`t wait to start our first off road rig build. Bumper and skid plates were installed, waiting for the tires and led light bars from 4WheelOnline and have them installed before we try it on the trail.

More fake news media will be let go.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Vice is expected to cut 10 percent of its workforce.
"Around 250 jobs are expected to be cut, a company spokeswoman tells The Hollywood Reporter, as the 2,500-person Vice reduces redundancies internationally and reorients to focus on growth areas like film and television production and branded content. All departments at every level are expected to have layoffs, from IT to finance to television," the report said.
The layoffs come just a week after BuzzFeed and HuffPost announced cuts to their own staffs. All in all, it's a tough time to be in the leftist fake news business.
Some of the employees who did not make the cut will be notified as early as Friday.
PTO was a sticking point at BuzzFeed, as the company refused to pay it out to the laid off workers, which miffed the employed staff. More than 400 employees signed a petition demanding that the company pay out that PTO to the employees it fired.
Fortunately for the victims of the recent press layoffs, there are other ways in which they can contribute to society. For example, they can learn to code here.

Celebrating WOMEN & WORDS!
Thrilled to kick off the month of March and Women's History Month by announcing the launch of my very first WRITER'S RETREAT here in Santa Monica. I've always envisioned bringing together a group of heart-centered women and supporting one another in sharing our transformational stories with the world. In June I plan to do just that, and hope you will join me.
2019 San Francisco Writers Conference
This year's conference was more than I could have ever hoped for. It was my 7th year attending and I had a blast. After serving as a volunteer, program designer and speaker over the years, this year I was given the task of leading a new track called BOOK-SCREEN on screenwriting and filmmaking. It was a huge success and I'm thrilled with the response we received from those in attendance. I'm so grateful to my colleagues who joined me on the panels and the wealth of information each shared to those just starting out in publishing/filmmaking.
It was such a huge success that I've been invited back next year to expand the track and teach a masterclass which I'm super excited about. I feel blessed to be able to pay it forward, and grateful for the opportunity. Special thanks to SFWC Director, Laurie McLean and SFWC Marketing Director, Barbara Santos for their continued support.
It's Simply Publishing Masterclass
During the conference I announced the launch of my new online masterclass, It's Simply Publishing. The course is being offered through Teachable and I'm so excited to reach a broader audience and support writers across the globe.
To learn more, click HERE.
It's Simply Screenwriting - Book Two of the It's Simply FILM Series
With the success of the screenwriting/filmmaking track at the San Francisco Writers Conference and the invitation to return next year, I figured it's the BEST time to launch the second book in my FILM series.
It's Simply Screenwriting will be released in January, 2020 and feature valuable information from top female screenwriters as a guide for those just starting out. I'm currently recruiting those to include in the book and excited to share their stories with you.
If you know of a female screenwriter who you would like to see featured, drop me a line with her name, website or IMDB page.
VIP DAY Santa Monica
One of my favourite things to do is host a fellow writer in my hometown of Santa Monica, California and guide them throughout the process of creating a strategic plan for their book project while also showing off what makes SaMo so special. Beginning this month, I will be offering TWO (2) VIP DAYS each month to writers who hope to add AUTHOR to their names in 2019.
Are you one of them?
If so, click below to learn more. I can't wait to connect and support you every step of the way.
And the OSCAR goes to?
Did you watch the Academy Awards broadcast?
Did you love it as much as I did?
I have to say it was my favourite Oscars of all-time. I've watched the awards show year after year for MANY years, but I'll have to admit, I usually channel surf while watching. THIS YEAR however, I was glued to the tube and didn't change the channel once.
Of course opening the show with QUEEN & Adam Lambert
on stage was HUGE!
It was wonderful to see all the first-time winners and so many independent films receiving recognition. It was truly inspiring and gave me hope as a filmmaker that one day I could indeed grace that stage with my own work. It also inspired me to work even harder and create a piece of work that has substance and will truly move people. As an artist, that is my goal, to create a piece of ART that inspires and brings hope to others.
It was also such a thrill to see people I know WIN and listen to their words as they took the stage. Huge congrats to Paul Massey and John Ottman on their work for Bohemian Rhapsody, as well as Peter Farrelly and his work on Green Book. Two spectacular films and well-deserved wins.
What was YOUR favourite part?
Leave a comment below and share. It was such an exciting year for film, and I can't wait to see what 2019 brings.
2019 has certainly started off on a HIGH note and I'm super excited to see what March brings. I have so much I want to do, so many I want to support, and I'm grateful to wake every day and do just that. If I can support YOU in any way, please feel free to leave a comment and reach out. Taking that first step is the key to success and making your dreams come true.
Until next time, onwards and upwards.

The Quarantine Ordeal
Swapnil Bharali | May 24, 2020 14:50 hrs
With airlines resuming operations and airports reopening across the country, it is expected that the LGBI airport of Guwahati will also be operational sooner than later. It is obvious that the stranded incoming passengers would be the first to get precedence and any business or leisure travel currently does not look likely at all.
The major confusion that has cropped up is from the conflicting statements by the union civil aviation minister Hardeep Singh Puri and the Assam state government's stance. Puri tweeted that it would not be practical to provide institutional quarantine for every passenger on a flight after they land at their respective destinations. Perhaps he based this opinion of his after being convinced that asymptomatic passengers would be given a thoroughly medically safe and fully sanitized passage – airport to airport; so such passengers can be deemed to be "safe" from getting the infection. However, this does not discount the fact that the passenger could have reached his departure airport by any means of transport and could be a carrier and yet remain asymptomatic enough to board his flight. Thereafter, he could pass the contamination to others inside the aircraft.
The state government is firm in its resolve to quarantine every entrant to the state – be it by air, road or rail. 14 days of mandatory quarantine is the order of the day for such entrants. The state government has augmented its quarantine facilities by adding hotels – big and small, expensive and inexpensive - to its list and none can hope to be spared from this. The consolation of course is that after having chosen a comfortable quarantine at a hotel, one can go for home quarantine after a week should doctors find such a traveller fit for the same. This would be against a written voucher that the person will not step out of home quarantine for the defined period.
But it is those travellers from Guwahati who have been stuck abroad that face the toughest quarantine ordeal. As things stand now, international flights are not landing in Guwahati because of insufficient travellers. And so, the first entry point into India could be any of its other international airports at the metros. This would necessitate 14 days' quarantine at the metro and thereafter a flight or train to Guwahati for a further 14 days' quarantine here.
Well, the big question is: To travel or not to travel?

We have taken out a partition in modern uk house and there were 2 sockets either side. The cable to them is not long enough to allow the sockets to go to either side now, so is it possible to use some product and an extra piece of wire to extend them both.
Or do we trim them and finish the circuit with a junction box to stop the ends being live ?
Thanks for ideas , safety is the prime important thing.
We cannot easily trace the wire back as it disappears into the ceiling joist through a hole.
Likely you must join the cables together or it may overload one of the cables as the system is designed to share the load between both cables.
There are many ways to join cables. What ever is used must require a tool to access the cables. So insulation tape would not comply. Likely easy method is maintenance free junction box.
It sounds about right for me. Thanks for your reply. Are there any limitations to length one can extend household wires. I am guessing the socket comes from a wire from the main 'home junction'.
I was also concerned about coiling up the excess length (heat energy or antena effect wireless interfearance etc), so I am guess if I want to remove the socket then it is better to trim the wire and end it with a junction box. I assume I can end it with a junction box or should a junction box have wires entering AND leaving it.
Just curious on the previous points but the original issue seems to be solved. Thanks eric and great forum.
Working out exactly what you have is a problem so I may have this wrong but I would expect there to be two cables going into junction box to complete the ring.
Yes there is a limit to cable length. A final ring to BS7671:2008 would be limited to maximum of 106 meters of cable. Before 2008 it was less. There are a number of things which determine the length which include volt drop (Limited to 5%) and impedance (1.44 ohms with standard final ring).
When you alter any electrical circuit you should complete either a minor works certificate or an installation certificate and these require you to test things like earth loop impedance.
I know most DIY people do not test their work but this does not make it right.
The rules can get complex. Even electricians argue about what they mean the 3 meter maximum (434.2.1) being one often brought up. There are three ways to supply a socket.
What it seems you are doing is turning a final ring into two radial circuits which would likely mean the 32A MCB would need changing for a 20A MCB. Unless something is done either ensuring still a ring or reduced overload size then there is a risk of fire.
Once a final ring is split there is also an impedance problem and it may result in the MCB even at 20A being too big. As the total for radials is not half of the cable used for ring but far less.
I really do think you need to bite the bullet on this one and get some one who can do the testing required. Even to hire the test equipment for a week (normal min hire time) costs around £75 so likely cheaper to get some one to do it for you.
Is it now clear that the maximum cable length for a 'ring main' (2.5mm / 30A MCB) is 106m? There seems to have been some dispute about this in the forums although some of those posts may pre-date current regs.
I have a DB c1998 without an RCD but with MCBs. I'm concerned if I exceed the cable length the potential voltage drop could mean increasing the time it takes for an MCB to trip, thereby reducing the protection of the circuit.


jan lauwers has run NeedCompany since 1986. i saw one of their first shows - Need to Know - in the late 80s in toronto, and it was enormously influential. here was a use of space and time on stage that seemed entirely new to me. dance merged with music merged with text - chaos and extreme precision coexisted. it was my introduction to belgian work, and to a whole new way to conceive of performance.
jo strømgren is a norwegian choreographer turned theater-maker. his company's works are unique - devised pieces often with invented languages and wonderfully inventive movement. he casts actors, then has them dance - and the resulting combination of heart, lack of training and ingenious choreography is actually quite moving.
adelheid is the company founded by canadian choreographer heidi strauss. heidi is a canadian treasure who - like so many ground-breakers in english canada - doesn't get nearly the acknowledgment she deserves. her choreography is idiosynchratic, sometimes acrobatic, often surprising, and always adventurous in its deep exploration of where the individual meshes with the societal.
ubumuntu arts festival, kigali: an invention of hope azeda, ubumuntu is a new festival for rwanda. i met hope when i first traveled to east africa during a research phase for the africa trilogy, and we've stayed in touch since. connections between east african work and western presenters (especially canadian presenters) are weak - so this is a platform to be aware of when looking for the vibrant work being made in the African subcontinent.
the forest fringe is the invention of volcano associate artist deborah pearson and her co-artistic director andy field. winner of the peter brook brook award in the UK for innovation, this is not so much just a company, but a dynamic ecology of presentation and experimentation that is now crossing borders.


As promised, while our just giving page is still active we're posting regular updates on where your money goes, so here is your next installment!
Grace is a 6 year old female miniature Shetland pony. Grace came in to the rescue as her previous owner purchased her for breeding, but for one reason or another Grace would not take and as she was now considered "surplus to requirements" she came in to the rescue.
As we do with all new animals, Grace had a full MOT from the vet where it was discovered that she had a condition call a "slipping stifle", which is where the knee cap flicks out of place. Luckily for Grace, this can be controlled by keeping her fit and making sure she doesn't get too podgy!
During her assessment period, living in a field was having a huge impact on her condition: the lack of exercise was causing the muscles around her joint to become lax, making the joint even more unstable. Her initial check-up also flagged up her terrible teeth! Miniature Shetlands are known for having dental issues as they have a small head but relatively large teeth, causing overcrowding and making it difficult for her to eat. Grace has awful overcrowding in the front and she has two loose teeth at the back (also sadly common with Miniature Shetlands). Grace now requires dental check-ups every 6 months to make sure that she has no sharp edges and that she has no infection around the wobbly teeth. Her check-ups and dental work costs around £150 every time they are done, but they're vital to keeping her healthy.
If you've never seen it then horse dentistry can be really surprising! It still always amazes me that they're not bothered by having an electric tooth-file in their mouth! As you can see in this video: nobody is holding grace, she is mildly sedated but standing well by herself!
Horses' teeth are vital to their well-being; cats and dogs can manage really well without teeth but horses really can't. Horses' teeth are very different to ours and really hard to fix if allowed to get bad, this short video explains how a horse's mouth works and the importance of dental care.
Unfortunately for Grace, we were really worried about her re-homing prospects and after a discussion we decided that Grace would become a permanent resident at the rescue. Luckily, I'm a New Forest Commoner (which means that I can graze my ponies on the New Forest) and roaming the forest is the perfect environment for both of her conditions: because of the large area she has to wander and the natural diet she keeps fits as a fiddle, the perfect weight and the rough forage helps to keep her teeth properly worn.
Your support directly helps to keep Grace healthy and happy! The funds you donate pay for vital dental work and for the farrier to make sure her feet stay in good condition so she is able to power-walk around the forest and keep her little legs muscled up!
Thank you! If you would like to donate to help us with Grace and all the other animals then please click on the Support Grace link below!

COVID-19: Anytime Fitness linked to potential Omicron cluster in Bukit Timah ordered to close
Staff Writer, Singapore
·Editorial Team
23 December 2021, 7:03 am ·2 min read
SINGAPORE — The Anytime Fitness gym at Bukit Timah Shopping Centre linked to a potential Omicron cluster has been ordered to close for 10 days after authorities found that it did not ensure that patrons adhered to safe management measures.
In a statement on Thursday (23 December), Sport Singapore (SportSG) said the gym outlet has also been issued with a notice of composition. It had been ordered to close for 10 days from Wednesday.
In response to Yahoo News Singapore's queries on whether it will be conducting checks on all 70-odd Any Fitness outlets here, SportSG said that its enforcement officers "have been conducting regular checks on sport and fitness facilities as part of enforcement work, and will continue to do so".
In its statement, the statutory board, which operates under the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, also urged all sports and fitness operators, and patrons, to "remain vigilant and adhere strictly" to safe management measures for COVID-19.
It stressed that enforcement action will be taken against businesses or individuals who fail to comply with the measures.
"SportSG will continue to work closely with the sport and fitness industry to bring sport and physical activity or exercise back in a safe and responsible manner," it said.
This comes two days after the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced that two of three COVID-19 cases linked to the gym cluster had tested preliminarily positive for the Omicron variant. The test result of the third case was pending.
To date, Singapore has 71 cases of the new variant, including 65 imported and six local.
On Wednesday, the MOH confirmed 335 new COVID-19 cases in Singapore – bringing the country's total case count to 276,720 – as well as one death due to the disease.

Ever since Kirstyn contacted me about shooting her and Chris's wedding & engagements I have been excited! These two are so fun and wonderful! The great thing about the two of them, it takes about 2 minutes of being around them to know that these two are meant for each other! They are such goofs balls, and the way they interact is just stinkin adorable.
Always love channeling some American Gothic.
Oh, he put a ring on it!
We were hoping for some nice sunset pics, but the weather had something else in mind! And that was alright with me! I love the colors in these shots!
These two were troopers the day of our shoot! At the beginning of the session it was about 30 degrees, which after we had had some days in the teens I was thankful to be in the 30's! But still pretty cold. But by the end of our session it was about 25 degrees, plus we were on a lake with some lovely wind!! Could have been worse given all the arctic vortex shenanigans lately!
I can't wait to capture their big day in October! I just know it's gonna be awesome!

Amazing sex may seem like an unlikely benefit of meditation, but let's just say that mindfulness may do a lot for you in the bedroom. For too long, meditation has been associated with asceticism and monks, which is why it has taken us this long to get around to exploring its effects on sex.
The link between meditation and better sex.
Several studies have identified a link between meditation and improved sexual experiences. A 2018 study found people who meditate tend to have more sexual desire and better sexual functioning than people who don't. A 2019 study found people who practice mindfulness during sex tend to have more sexual satisfaction and sexual self-esteem. Another study found women who practice mindfulness during sex also get turned on more easily.
A meditation student once came to me after a full year of twice-a-day meditation and said, "You joked once before about meditation making my sex better, but what's happening for me is crazy. I need answers."
Animalistic, raw and mind-blowing were the most memorable adjectives he then used to describe his newfound sexual prowess. He told me that since the first week of taking my course, he noticed not only that he was able to last much longer during intercourse, but also told me that he felt more control over his orgasms, had way more energy, and more of a sex drive as a result.
Why meditation improves your sex life.
1. Meditation decreases stress, which means better orgasms.
Meditation is an incredibly powerful stress-reducing tool. Therefore, it stands to reason that meditation can increase sexual desire and performance by reducing cortisol and adrenaline levels. Think about it: do you feel aroused when you are stressed out? Probably not.
Many of us are stressed out, whether from work, our relationships, money, and a whole host of other reasons, circumstantial and otherwise. Stress increases cortisol and adrenaline levels, and these increased levels of cortisol and adrenaline decrease sexual desire and performance (among other negative effects). For example, increased cortisol levels can make it harder for women to orgasm and is linked to erectile dysfunction.
"Stress, fear, anxiety, worry, and frustration cause your body to release adrenaline which constricts your blood vessels, and that is bad for getting a good erection," says Nelson E. Bennett, MD, a urologist and erectile dysfunction expert at the Lahey Clinic.
There is a reason why almost every civilization since the beginning of time has some sort of mating ritual before sex. Things like a nice dinner, champagne, oysters, and music can help set the mood and relax you for sex. The more relaxed you are going into the act itself, the more likely you are to enjoy it and therefore climax.
Meditation moves you out of fight-or-flight and into stay and play. Many studies have linked meditation and stress reduction. Within a few days of starting a meditation practice, adrenaline and cortisol levels drop. Meditation is linked to the brain producing more dopamine and serotonin, which are bliss chemicals. This bliss chemistry in the brain helps to increase your sexual appetite and increase the intensity of orgasm.
2. Meditation gives you deep rest, which means more energy for sex.
"Not tonight honey, I'm tired!" How many times have you felt like fatigue has been your excuse for not wanting to have sex? You're not alone: exhaustion is one of the most common reasons couples don't have as much sex as they would like. According to a recent study by the National Sleep Foundation, about one in every four married or cohabitating Americans claim they're so sleep-deprived that they're often too tired to have sex.
Meditation is linked to less fatigue and insomnia and more "slow wave" sleep. When you meditate, you give your body deep rest, which helps you feel more awake afterward. This jolt of energy may be just what you need after work to energize you for adult playtime.
3. Meditation makes you more present and less distracted.
Many of us have an over developed left brain. The left brain's job is to review the past and rehearse the future. This can keep us trapped in a past/future thought cycle and rob us of the ability to be fully present in the right now, which is the only time an orgasm can happen.
The right brain is in charge of present-moment awareness, and this is the part of the brain that meditation takes to the gym. Essentially, the longer we meditate, the more we're able to balance the right and left hemispheres of the brain. The result of this is more attention, awareness, and computing power for the task at hand.
As mentioned earlier, there's a research-proven link between mindfulness and sex. When we're more focused and present in the moment, we're better able to tune into our bodies and really feel the physical sensations, resulting in heightened pleasure. Plus, nobody likes a distracted lover.
4. Meditation can help you read your partner better.
Meditation is linked to improved empathic accuracy and related neural activity. Translation? Meditation might make your partner think you're psychic.
This has to do with the science of mirror neurons. Think of mirror neurons like tiny boomerangs emitted from your brain that go and dance with your lover's mirror neurons and then report back. Mirror neurons allow you to "intuit" what your partner is feeling. They are why you cringe if you watch someone getting hurt. They may even be one reason why porn is a billion dollar industry. Simply watching someone else being pleasured can create pleasure in your brain.
The fact that meditation may improve your mirror neuron functioning, coupled with the fact that you'll be more relaxed and present, means people who meditate may be far more intuitive and generous partners.
5. Meditation helps you stop looking to your partner to complete you.
"You complete me" are probably the most damaging words to come out of Hollywood. No one can complete you. No partner, job, degree, or number of zeros in your bank account can complete you. Your happiness exists in one place, and that is inside of you. And it exists in one time, and that is right now.
If you do not have a meditation practice or a means by which to access that happiness, then you tend to look externally for fulfillment. If you are looking to your partner to "fill you up" spiritually or physically, then you will always be disappointed as nothing external has the capacity to give you access to your bliss. Happiness is an inside job.
If you are 80% fulfilled, then the relationship will be a place to deliver that fulfillment, not somewhere to get the missing 20%.
The bottom line.
Meditation can help your sex life in a myriad of ways, from decreasing stress to improving attention to bodily sensations. I recommend finding a technique that was made for people with busy minds and lives instead of a style made for monks. With the right technique and the right teacher, it really can be easy — and oh so fun.
Here are a few concrete ways to practice mindfulness during sex, plus a full guide to tantric sex, the spiritual sexual practice that merges meditation and sex.

Australian coking coal price is at a record high as Greens say 'king coal is dead'
Advance News September 20, 2021
No matter how many trees they hug or how many times they deface Parliament House, the Gaia-worshipping radical environmentalists of Australia can't mess with the forces of supply and demand.
As reported on the front page of the Australian Financial Review this morning:
"Prices for Australian coking coal have surged to a record on the back of a global shortage of the steel-making ingredient, cushioning the economic impact of a 57 per cent slump in prices for the nation's top commodity export, iron ore.
"Premium hard coking coal from Queensland fetched $US379 per tonne ($520.56 per tonne) on Friday according to S&P Global Platts, eclipsing the record set in January 2011 when Cyclone Yasi flooded big Queensland mines and severed transport routes.
"The record prices look set to deliver a huge budget bonus to the Queensland government, which assumed coking coal would average $US130 per tonne in the year to June 2022.
"Each 1 per cent change in the coal price is worth $33 million to the Queensland budget, suggesting the budget would be $6.2 billion better off if prices remain at current levels until June.
"The coking coal boom comes as prices for Australian fossil fuels are also surging; liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices are close to record levels for this time of year after setting an all-time high in January, while thermal coal prices are also just short of record levels.
"GlobalCoal said top-quality thermal coal from NSW was fetching $US182.50 per tonne on Wednesday, just shy of the $US195.23 per tonne record set on July 3, 2008."
At the same time the ABC, "modern Liberals", Labor and the Greens are saying "king coal is dead" and "fossil fuels are the fuel of the past", prices are at record highs because the materials are still in demand, regardless of all the fearmongering and propaganda.
Perhaps more notable is how this sustained demand is a result of how Australia's fossil fuels are the most energy dense in the world.
As Paul Flynn, the managing director of Whitehaven Coal, wrote "if new coal mines are not built in Australia, that will be worse for a world trying to decarbonise".
"At face value, it might seem that if you shut down the Australian coal industry you will reduce global emissions," he said.
"However, that ignores the strong likelihood that our high-energy, low-emissions coal – which is in such high demand – will be replaced by less efficient, more carbon-intensive coal produced by other countries.
"This underlines another truth: the world (particularly the developing world) wants affordable and – critically – reliable energy, something that intermittent sources of energy are not.
"In this scenario, Australian coal would be supplanted by coal from Indonesia or Russia to feed the thermal and steel furnaces (which have economic lives stretching for decades) that are playing a critical role in meeting the increasing demand for electricity and steel to advance the developing world.
"This would have the opposite effect of increasing global emissions and make the objective of achieving net zero in the second half of this century all but impossible. It would also be an act of extraordinary short-sightedness that would hurt our national economy and disadvantage regional communities reliant on the investment and opportunity coal mining brings.
"They should be careful what they wish for if they are to be true to their stated ambition of lowering global emissions. If this is a genuine ambition and not just a political slogan, they should be agnostic about how it is achieved."
Well said, mate.
Advance and our 140,000+ supporters thank you for standing strong in the face of all the whingers.
Perhaps we should start asking the United Nations to issue carbon credits for every tonne of high-quality coal we send overseas, given it's displacing the dirty coal the Indonesians and Russians are responsible for.


If Congress is intent on saving billions of dollars in the federal budget, quit picking on food stamps and unemployment benefits. Go after military contractors, and their patrons in the armed services, who create vast fortunes via contract schemes and billing scams.
The details of these epic rip-offs are only becoming known, at least to the general public. Some of the expensive bad news has been around for years, but seemingly nothing was done to hold the thugs accountable.
U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus held a press conference last Friday to lay out charges and investigations involving the Navy's three largest ship-supply companies, Bloomberg News reported. Perhaps not surprisingly, the contractors under suspicion or formally charged were apparently not acting alone. In one of the cases, two commanders were charged, along with a U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service agent. That will make an interesting episode for the popular TV show about Navy sleuths.
Mabus tried to suggest the Navy was on full alert. Instead he revealed the scale of the problem. Since 2009, Mabus said, the Navy has suspended 252 contractors and excluded another 400 from bidding.
The congressional election year of 2014 is the perfect time to find out what a slumbering Congress has done. OK, the answer is nothing. Consider the case of the $36 million headquarters in Afghanistan the local Marine commander emphatically said was not needed or wanted. The U.S. is leaving, remember. The posh digs, described as an "enormous white elephant," the size of a football field, were approved anyway by a two-star Army general. A subsequent Army review found the decision "justified" in light of U.S. policy at the time.
That general now has three stars as the Army's Inspector General, in charge of ferreting out waste, fraud and abuse.

Starbucks Largest Roasting Plant Offers Job Training for People With Disabilities
Posted on September 15, 2015 September 28, 2017 by Luan
From the Starbucks Newsroom
When Carol Glazer visited Starbucks headquarters in Seattle last fall to meet graduates from a unique training program at the company's roasting plant in Carson City, Nevada, she wasn't surprised to see pride in the faces of those who'd completed the course. What caught her off guard was the gratification she saw in the faces of everyone who encountered the grads.
Glazer, President of the National Organization on Disability since 2008, has been pushing for allies in its efforts to address a severe shortage of work opportunities for people with disabilities. In Starbucks, she believes she's found a company that appreciates the payoff that comes with employing workers with disabilities.
"Starbucks is the beacon for others in corporate America," she said. "There are a few companies that are pioneers in this field and Starbucks is one of them. Companies are beginning to understand that all the problem-solving skills and tenacity and persistence it takes to navigate a world that wasn't built for you are terrific assets."
York's First Graduating Class
Glazer will be among those honoring graduates of the Starbucks Inclusion Academy today in York, Pennsylvania, at a ceremony commemorating the roasting plant and distribution center's 20th anniversary. There, alongside Starbucks leaders and local, state and national dignitaries, she'll meet the first four graduates from York's academy. They join 21 others who've completed the program, including a dozen who work full-time at the Starbucks facility in Carson City.
Eric Brooks, who's been receiving disability payments since January 2009 due to an injury and heart condition, was alerted to the opportunity by the Pennsylvania Office of Vocational Rehabilitation, which partnered with Starbucks, the National Organization on Disability and the Crispus Attucks Association of York to develop the six-week program. Though he'd just received a job offer elsewhere, Brooks consulted with family and friends and decided to pursue what he saw as a more promising path.
"The Inclusion Academy sounded like a real chance," said the 38-year-old York resident. "Even though it wasn't necessarily a permanent position, I decided to go with the Inclusion Academy and I don't regret it at all."
For Cody Dietz, completing the program is a milestone in a seven-year recovery effort that began after he suffered a massive stroke when he was 17.
"I couldn't walk. I couldn't talk. I had to learn everything over," Dietz said. "Now I'm better. I'm working, obviously. I've had struggles sometimes, but I've overcome them. I'm here."
A Model Program
Noting that less than 20 percent of the approximately 30 million Americans with disabilities who are of working age are actually on the job, Glazer said the Inclusion Academy provides a model for how companies can find underutilized talent.
"The best connections occur when there's a gradual process of training—of orienting a future employee to the cultural norms and the expectations and basic requirements of the employer," Glazer said.
"The academy is an innovative approach to bringing on board a number of people with disabilities and making sure that the experience succeeds—from the company's perspective. All the bottom-line measures apply: Are they productive? Do they have a good safety record? Can they learn new skills? Can they thrive in the corporate culture?
With the Inclusion Academy behind them, Brooks and Dietz look ahead to the Starbucks interview process differently. The former is full of self-assurance while the latter confessed to some butterflies. "I'm a little nervous," said Dietz, "but I have confidence in myself."
For her part, Glazer believes the Inclusion Academy's ongoing success will help to break down formidable barriers that have stood for too long.
"We always say, when you're hiring people with disabilities, it's not the 'what' that you expect to be different. You expect the same performance and productivity and output. It's the 'how' that's different. The how you train and even how you interview," she said. "The fact that Starbucks is doing this is going to make our job a lot easier in finding employers who are going to try this. Employers who know this is important, but don't know how do it."

Employers Take Note: People with Autism Ideally Suited to Fill Critical STEM Jobs | Blog by Carol Glazer, President
Posted on September 5, 2015 September 28, 2017 by Luan
In the world of retail, copycat pricing is not unusual. When one retailer slashes prices, others are sure to follow. When it comes to hiring approaches, those of us in the business of finding employment opportunities for people with disabilities, we're hoping that same copycat approach holds true, particularly when one of the retailers that is taking the lead is Starbucks. The company that revolutionized the way we drink coffee could very well do the same for how corporate America hires and cultivates talent.
In a race for talent, companies are now realizing that people with disabilities are a largely untapped pool that, as a result, has seen unemployment rates remain stubbornly high when compared to the general population. So when an employer the size of Starbucks plants a flag and says it is going to make this a priority, others are likely to follow.

Woman Charged with Death of 2 Out of 3 Babies Found In Hoarder Home
posted by Jimmy Nguyen - Jun 5, 2019
Erika Murray, 35, was charged for the death of two out of three babies found in her home
Erika Murray, from Blackstone, Massachusetts was arrested after authorities found the remains of 2 infants and a fetus in a closet of her trash-filled, rat-infested home in August of 2014. Her other 4 children, aged 5-months to 13-years-old are with Child Protective Services. She was caught when her 10-year-old boy asked a friend nearby for help getting a baby to stop crying. The friend's mother, Betsy Brown, noticed that there was poop smeared on the 10-year-old boy's face, hair, and clothes and worked to clean it.
When investigators got to the house, they noticed that one of the children, a 3-year-old could barely talk and was not able to walk, due to poor muscle tone, while the 6-month-old baby was sensitive to sunlight.
Catherine Francy, an investigator for the Department of Children and Families testified today that Murray would refer to her 3-year-old as "It." Murray would tell her older children, who were found with maggots in their ears, that she was simply "babysitting" them that the older kids didn't know that the younger kids were their siblings. She also stated that Murray's children never saw a doctor.
Authorities spent over 90 hours cleaning out her home and was eventually bulldozed to the ground.
Murray pleaded not guilty, by reason of mental health, and not enough evidence to prove she had killed the babies.

CWU Geological Sciences - Why Geology?
Why major in Geological Sciences?
Alumni: Where are they today?
Geology majors share common ground. Our students enjoy the outdoors and hope to enjoy a career with plenty of field work. They are also not afraid of science. Math, chemistry, and physics principles are routinely applied to the natural world. Our world continues to crave good science work done on matters of public health, public safety, and general curiousity of how the Earth works. Want to improve your understanding of the world around you? Want to learn the details behind current important topics like climate, hydrogeology, environmental and geologic hazards? Geology!
Graduates of our CWU Geology program are gainfully employed and living the dream. Daily. Thankfully, there is a wide range of jobs that all stem from a basic degree in Geology. There are many satisfing careers out there with a BS in Geology - although many of our alums eventually return to school for a Master's Degree. Please see our Alumni Page to sample the diversity of work that exists our there in the real world.
Central Washington University is ideally situated in an area of diverse geology. The university lies on the margin of Columbia River Basalt plateau, adjacent to the crystalline core of the Stuart Range and the majestic volcanoes of the Cascade Mountains. Seismicity and active volcanism of the Cascadia subduction zone, periodic regional flooding, highly deformed rocks of northern Washington and British Columbia, and a water- and natural-resource based economy in central Washington provide ideal opportunities to study a wide variety of geologic problems and the mitigation of geologic hazards. The department is located in the Science II Building, in the center of the CWU campus.

Do you know what to say when preparing the yee sang for the 'lou hei'?
We don't mean when tossing the yee sang and asking for all the grand things in life (money, love, health, holidays, you name it). We mean before that when the nice restaurant staff "blesses" the platter with auspicious sayings according to the condiments.
Most of the time, we're not truly paying attention but as more people opt to have their yee sang at home, their takeaway or delivery order definitely won't include the service of a staff and his/her "blessing". Of course, you can always just add the condiments without the wishes but since it's known as a prosperity toss, why throw away that extra luck?
Watch the video below for the lou-down as we do The Yee Sang Ritual Challenge and scroll on for all the phrases!
On another note, have you ever wondered where does yee sang comes from? Lou and behold, it's not actually widely served in China or Hong Kong (though it is growing in popularity there) unlike here in Malaysia and at our neighbouring country, Singapore. There are several different origin stories of the modern yee sang but all of them agrees that it belongs to the Cantonese and has influences from southern China. Here are two of the most popular origin stories we managed to dig up.
According to the extensive research done by a Cilisos writer, raw fish cuisine was very popular thousands of years ago in China though it eventually died down—except for yusheng, a traditional dish where the main ingredient is the raw fish. Long story short, the Cantonese and Hokkien immigrants brought it along to Malaya and one of them, a man named Loke Ching Fatt created his own version in 1940s as the locals weren't very fond of yusheng. His yee sang had around 30 ingredients! You can read the whole story here.
Like a few other Malaysian dishes, there's a debate with Singapore that it could have started in the Lion City instead. Wikipedia cites several news articles from Singapore that wrote it was created by the island's four Master Chefs and made its debut in 1964 at Lai Wah Restaurant. However, The Star reported that the niece of one of the four Master Chefs, Tham Mui Kai, said "her uncle had come up with the recipe when he was an apprentice at the Yok Woo Hin Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur's Petaling Street." This would be in the 1920s or 1930s. She added that Tham first arrived in Malaysia from Guangzhou before moving to Singapore to work, then coming back in his 30s to marry a local woman, and then later moving back to the island in the 1970s.
We don't think it matters as to who created it, so long as we all get to enjoy it. Happy Chinese New Year to everyone and may all your yee sang wishes come true.
To make a reservation for the yee sang at Lai Po Heen, call 03 2330 8797, email mokul-fb@mohg.com or order online for takeaway/delivery from their new Mandarin Cake Shop.
How does the world celebrate Chinese New Year?

This past February, four BC athletes competed in Bogota, Colombia for the 2019 Pan American Championships. Although this was not a national team qualifying event, the competition would have been a good preparation for the upcoming World Championships.
Seraphim Jarov and Fynn Fafard both competed in the Junior Men's Epee individual and team events. In the individual event, Seraphim went 4-1 in his poule, which seeded him 15th going into the DEs. Fynn won 3 and lost 2 in his poule, seeding him 18th. With both boys seeded near the middle of the pack, they were each rewarded with BYEs into the round of 32.

2018 October NAC – Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Posted on October 20, 2018 by fencingAdmin
This past weekend, a handful of BC fencers traveled to Milwaukee, Wisconsin to compete in the first NAC of the Canadian qualification season. The competition ran from October 12th-15th, and consisted of Div 1, Div 2, Cadet, and wheelchair events.
On day one, Thomas Greenwood competed in the Cadet men's sabre event. He started the day off strong with 4 wins and only 1 loss in his poole of 6, seeding him 24th going into DEs. Thomas had a BYE through the first round, but unfortunately the following DE 15-6. He finished the event in 39th place.
Day two, Christina Zozulya competed in the second day of the Div 1 women's epee event. Another strong start in pooles for our BC athlete, as she came out with 5 wins and 1 loss in both round of pooles. After the second day's round of pooles, Christina was seeded 21st going into the direct eliminations. Her first DE was against another Canadian athlete, who Christina beat 15-8 to move on to the round of 64. Her 64's DE was a very close 15-14, and put her through to 32's. It was in the 32 that she lost to an American 15-7, which placed her 19th after two days of competition.
Div 2 women's epee, and the second day of Div 1 men's epee took place on day 3 of the NAC. Nicole Su placed within the top 16, and Miranda Yang placed within the top 32. Nicole started her pooles off with 5 wins and 0 losses, which seeded her 7th going into DEs. Miranda also won all of her poole bouts, and was seeded 1st! In Nicole's first DE she defeated her opponent 15-6, and continued by beating her following opponent in the 64, 15-6 as well. In the round of 32, Nicole won 15-12. It was in the top 16 that Nicole lost 15-13 to an American athlete. Miranda had a BYE through the round of 128, and continued the event by winning her first DE 15-12. Unfortunately, she lost her second bout 15-10. Nicole finished the event in 11th and Miranda in 17th.
In Div 1 men's epee, Howard came out of pooles seeded 29th after finishing with 4 wins and 2 losses. In the first round of DE's, Howard handily beat his American opponent 15-4. He then went on to lose a close 7-6 bout in the round of 64. Overall he came out with a 46th place finish, but this wasn't the end of the competition for him as he still had the cadet event.
The last day of competition both Christina and Howard would be fencing again, but this time in the cadet epee categories. Women's epee was up first at 8am, where Christina left pooles with 5 wins and only 1 loss, This result put her in a 14th seed position as she advanced into the direct eliminations. Both her first and second DE's concluded with 15-6 wins for Christina, However, it was in her top 16 DE that she lost to the 3rd place seed 15-11. She finished the event in 14th place.
Finally, Howard competed in the cadet men's epee event. He also went 5-1 in his poole, but was tied for the 11th place seeding. His ranking earned him a BYE through the round of 128, and straight into the 64. His first bout was a close 15-13, but he pulled through to move onto the 32's. The next opponent he faced was another Canadian, but Howard sailed through the bout, and he ended up winning 15-5. Top 16 saw a 15-11 finish for Howard, and another 15-9 win in the round of 8. In the semi-final, he faced a 10th place seeded American, and unfortunately lost a close battle of 15-14. Congratulations Howard on your bronze medal!
Well done to all of our BC athletes on their results, and good luck in your various competitions yet to come!
GO BC!
2018 US Summer Nationals (July NAC) – Day 4 Recap
Posted on July 7, 2018 by fencingAdmin
Monday, July 2nd (Day 4 of BC competition), we watched Cadet women's foil and Cadet men's epee.
In Cadet women's foil, Sabrina Fang would fence one last time for the weekend. She started the day strong with 5 victories and 1 loss in her poule, grasping a 25th place initial seeding, and a BYE into the round of 128. She won her first DE with an impressive 15-6 victory. In 64's, Sabrina proved herself yet again with a 15-5 victory over a Central Californian fencer. However, it was in the 32's that the tables turned and Sabrina lost a 15-7 match. In the end she finished with a 26th place result. Congratulations Sabrina!
It was in the Cadet men's epee event that we were treated to a spectacular BC display from our very own Howard Zhao! He started out the event seeded 3rd out of 214 athletes, due to his previous NAC results. He wasted no time in flexing his skill, going 5-0 in poules. He proceeded into the first round of direct eliminations still seeded 3rd, which gained him a BYE into 128's. Howard breezed through his first bout with a 15-5 victory, and continued to dominate in the 64's with a 15-7 win. In 32's, Howard continued the winning streak with a score of 15-9. He sailed through 16's with a 15-12 victory, guaranteeing him a top 8 medal at least. However, a mere top 8 medal wouldn't be enough for Howard, as he made it through the round with a 15-7 win. In the semi-final, and fighting for a place in the final, Howard took the bronze medal bout into his own hands with a score of 15-9.
It was in the gold medal final that it seemed like it could have been a silver medal for our BC boy. However, with his Dynamo teammates behind him, and his coach Igor Gantsevich screaming (literally), Howard pulled out a 15-14 victory. He made a stupendous comeback within the last 20 seconds of the 3rd period, bringing the score to 14-14 with 1 second left on the clock. As the score was tied, the bout went into 1 minute of overtime, and priority to his opponent. Then came his final attack, and it was a single red light for Howard. Cheering and screaming erupted from the crowd, and coach Gantesvich ran onto the piste to congratulate his student. Congratulations Howard, Igor, and the rest of the Dynamo family. If you want to experience this excitement for yourself, click the link below and fast-forward to the Cadet men's epee bout.

On the third day of competition, and well as it being Canada Day, we saw Christina Zozulya fencing again for her third and final event – Cadet Women's epee. And boy, did she have a come back.
In the initial round of poules, Christina pulled out a result of 5 victories and only 1 loss. This fantastic start seeded her in 17th place going into the direct elimination rounds, as well as a BYE into the round of 128. Her first DE resulted in a 15-12 win for our BC girl, sending her into 64's. In her 64's bout she was victorious yet again, with a 15-8 win over a fencer hailing out of New Jersey. Unfortunately, the round of 32 was the end of the road, as Christina lost this bout 15-11. Due to her seeding after poules, she finished with a 22nd place result. Well done Christina!
2018 July US Summer Nationals (July NAC) – Day 2 Recap
As BC didn't have any fencers registered to compete on the actual second day of the NAC, we look forward to the 30th instead. For our BC athletes, this day featured Junior Men's epee, and junior women's foil, as well as Div 1 women's epee.
The junior boys started their event at 8am, starting off strong in poules. With 6 wins and 0 losses for all three of our BC boys, they were seeded exceptionally well going into the direct elimination rounds. Fynn was seeded 6th, Howard 3rd, and Seraphim 2nd, which resulted in BYEs into the round of 256. Seraphim sailed through his first DE with a 15-4 win against number 255 seed. However, despite his past bout and initial seed, he lost 13-9 in the round of 128. Fynn won his first bout 15-11 to send him into 128's, where he achieved his second victory of the day 15-7. In the round of 64, Fynn was successful yet again with a 15-10 win. It was in the round of 32 that Fynn finally met his match, with a 15-8 loss to a New York fencer. Fynn finished 17th overall. Last, but certainly not least, we look at Howard Zhao's matches. He won his first bout 15-6 in 256's, and proceeded to pull out another sweeping win of 15-11 in the round of 128. In 64's he continued to show his skill with a 15-11 win, and then another closer victory in the 32's of 15-14. Unfortunately Howard lost his top 16bout 15-12, resulting in a 9th place finish – just shy of a medal. With a field of 322 to fight through, these are some fantastic results, boys! Congratulations!
In junior women's foil, TFA's Sabrina Fang competed amongst 226 other girls. In her poule she had 2 wins and 4 losses, placing her as 168th seed. However, despite her rough start to the day, Sabrina pulled through the round of 256 with a 15-4 victory! Into the round of 128, Sabrina faced another New England fencer, and won the bout 15-12. It was in the 64's that Sabrina was unable to catch her opponent, and finished the day in 64th place, with a 15-8 loss.
The final event of the day for our BC fencers was the Div 1 women's epee event, where we would see Christina Zozulya fencing again. She started the day with only 2 victories in her poule, and 4 losses. This poule result landed her as 70th seed going into the first round of DE's. With a field of 101 girls, the first round of DE's started in the 128's. Christina won her first bout with a very close score of 15-14. Into the round of 64's, and she faced a fencer from the Gulf Coast, though was unable to get the upper hand, and lost 15-12. She finished the day with a 63rd place result.

With the highly successful BC Provincial Championships under wraps only a week ago, BC fencers were already on their way to another competition – The July NAC in St. Louis, Missouri. The competition is by far one of the largest, if not the largest North American competition in the circuit as of right now, and BC raked in some amazing results over the course of the event.
The competition started on Thursday, June 28th, with Div 1 Women's Foil, Junior Women's Epee, Junior Men's Sabre, and Div 1 Men's Epee. The day began with women's foil and epee at 8am. BC's Sabrina Fang (TFA) fenced first in the women's foil event, placing 92nd. In women's epee, Christina Zozulya (DYN) was undefeated and seeded 1st after the initial round of poules. She had a BYE into 128's, and won that first match 15-8. Unfortunately her journey ended in the next round, finishing 33rd after a 15-9 loss in the 64.
As BC didn't have any athletes competing in the Junior men's sabre event we fast-forward to the Div 1 Men's epee event, which featured three BC fencers. Fynn Fafard (DYN) placed 30th overall, losing 15-8 to Ayman Fayez. He had a 15-11 win in the 128's, and a 15-6 victory in the 64, but fell short to the 2012 Egyptian Olypian in the 32. Seraphim Jarov finished in 61st place with a 15-11 loss in the 64's, and Howard Zhao came 82nd.
Overall not a bad start to the competition, but there was so much more to look forward to in the coming days, so stay tuned!
