ssh-keygen generates, manages and converts authentication keys for ssh(1). ssh-keygen can create keys for use by SSH protocol version 2.
The type of key to be generated is specified with the −t option. If invoked without any arguments, ssh-keygen will generate an RSA key.
ssh-keygen is also used to generate groups for use in Diffie-Hellman group exchange (DH-GEX). See the MODULI GENERATION section for details.
Finally, ssh-keygen can be used to generate and update Key Revocation Lists, and to test whether given keys have been revoked by one. See the KEY REVOCATION LISTS section for details.
Normally each user wishing to use SSH with public key authentication runs this once to create the authentication key in ~/.ssh/id_dsa, ~/.ssh/id_ecdsa, ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 or ~/.ssh/id_rsa. Additionally, the system administrator may use this to generate host keys.
Normally this program generates the key and asks for a file in which to store the private key. The public key is stored in a file with the same name but ''.pub'' appended. The program also asks for a passphrase. The passphrase may be empty to indicate no passphrase (host keys must have an empty passphrase), or it may be a string of arbitrary length. A passphrase is similar to a password, except it can be a phrase with a series of words, punctuation, numbers, whitespace, or any string of characters you want. Good passphrases are 10-30 characters long, are not simple sentences or otherwise easily guessable (English prose has only 1-2 bits of entropy per character, and provides very bad passphrases), and contain a mix of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and non-alphanumeric characters. The passphrase can be changed later by using the −p option.
There is no way to recover a lost passphrase. If the passphrase is lost or forgotten, a new key must be generated and the corresponding public key copied to other machines.
For keys stored in the newer OpenSSH format, there is also a comment field in the key file that is only for convenience to the user to help identify the key. The comment can tell what the key is for, or whatever is useful. The comment is initialized to ''user@host'' when the key is created, but can be changed using the −c option.
After a key is generated, instructions below detail where the keys should be placed to be activated.
For each of the key types (rsa, dsa, ecdsa and ed25519) for which host keys do not exist, generate the host keys with the default key file path, an empty passphrase, default bits for the key type, and default comment. If −f has also been specified, its argument is used as a prefix to the default path for the resulting host key files. This is used by system administration scripts to generate new host keys.
When saving a private key this option specifies the number of KDF (key derivation function) rounds used. Higher numbers result in slower passphrase verification and increased resistance to brute-force password cracking (should the keys be stolen).
When screening DH-GEX candidates (using the −T command). This option specifies the number of primality tests to perform.
Show the bubblebabble digest of specified private or public key file.
Specifies the number of bits in the key to create. For RSA keys, the minimum size is 1024 bits and the default is 2048 bits. Generally, 2048 bits is considered sufficient. DSA keys must be exactly 1024 bits as specified by FIPS 186-2. For ECDSA keys, the −b flag determines the key length by selecting from one of three elliptic curve sizes: 256, 384 or 521 bits. Attempting to use bit lengths other than these three values for ECDSA keys will fail. Ed25519 keys have a fixed length and the −b flag will be ignored.
Requests changing the comment in the private and public key files. The program will prompt for the file containing the private keys, for the passphrase if the key has one, and for the new comment.
Download the RSA public keys provided by the PKCS#11 shared library pkcs11. When used in combination with −s, this option indicates that a CA key resides in a PKCS#11 token (see the CERTIFICATES section for details).
Specifies the hash algorithm used when displaying key fingerprints. Valid options are: ''md5'' and ''sha256''. The default is ''sha256''.
This option will read a private or public OpenSSH key file and print to stdout the key in one of the formats specified by the −m option. The default export format is ''RFC4716''. This option allows exporting OpenSSH keys for use by other programs, including several commercial SSH implementations.
Search for the specified hostname in a known_hosts file, listing any occurrences found. This option is useful to find hashed host names or addresses and may also be used in conjunction with the −H option to print found keys in a hashed format.
Specifies the filename of the key file.
Generate candidate primes for DH-GEX. These primes must be screened for safety (using the −T option) before use.
Use generic DNS format when printing fingerprint resource records using the −r command.
Hash a known_hosts file. This replaces all hostnames and addresses with hashed representations within the specified file; the original content is moved to a file with a .old suffix. These hashes may be used normally by ssh and sshd, but they do not reveal identifying information should the file's contents be disclosed. This option will not modify existing hashed hostnames and is therefore safe to use on files that mix hashed and non-hashed names.
When signing a key, create a host certificate instead of a user certificate. Please see the CERTIFICATES section for details.
Specify the key identity when signing a public key. Please see the CERTIFICATES section for details.
This option will read an unencrypted private (or public) key file in the format specified by the −m option and print an OpenSSH compatible private (or public) key to stdout. This option allows importing keys from other software, including several commercial SSH implementations. The default import format is ''RFC4716''.
Exit after screening the specified number of lines while performing DH candidate screening using the −T option.
Start screening at the specified line number while performing DH candidate screening using the −T option.
Write the last line processed to the file checkpt while performing DH candidate screening using the −T option. This will be used to skip lines in the input file that have already been processed if the job is restarted.
Generate a KRL file. In this mode, ssh-keygen will generate a KRL file at the location specified via the −f flag that revokes every key or certificate presented on the command line. Keys/certificates to be revoked may be specified by public key file or using the format described in the KEY REVOCATION LISTS section.
Prints the contents of one or more certificates.
Show fingerprint of specified public key file. For RSA and DSA keys ssh-keygen tries to find the matching public key file and prints its fingerprint. If combined with −v, a visual ASCII art representation of the key is supplied with the fingerprint.
Specify the amount of memory to use (in megabytes) when generating candidate moduli for DH-GEX.
Specify a key format for the −i (import) or −e (export) conversion options. The supported key formats are: ''RFC4716'' (RFC 4716/SSH2 public or private key), ''PKCS8'' (PEM PKCS8 public key) or ''PEM'' (PEM public key). The default conversion format is ''RFC4716''. Setting a format of ''PEM'' when generating or updating a supported private key type will cause the key to be stored in the legacy PEM private key format.
Specify one or more principals (user or host names) to be included in a certificate when signing a key. Multiple principals may be specified, separated by commas. Please see the CERTIFICATES section for details.
Specify a certificate option when signing a key. This option may be specified multiple times. See also the CERTIFICATES section for further details.
Clear all enabled permissions. This is useful for clearing the default set of permissions so permissions may be added individually.
Includes an arbitrary certificate critical option or extension. The specified name should include a domain suffix, e.g. ''name [AT] example.com''. If contents is specified then it is included as the contents of the extension/option encoded as a string, otherwise the extension/option is created with no contents (usually indicating a flag). Extensions may be ignored by a client or server that does not recognise them, whereas unknown critical options will cause the certificate to be refused.
Forces the execution of command instead of any shell or command specified by the user when the certificate is used for authentication.
Disable ssh-agent(1) forwarding (permitted by default).
Disable port forwarding (permitted by default).
Disable PTY allocation (permitted by default).
Disable execution of ~/.ssh/rc by sshd(8) (permitted by default).
Disable X11 forwarding (permitted by default).
Allows execution of ~/.ssh/rc by sshd(8).
Restrict the source addresses from which the certificate is considered valid. The address_list is a comma-separated list of one or more address/netmask pairs in CIDR format.
Requests changing the passphrase of a private key file instead of creating a new private key. The program will prompt for the file containing the private key, for the old passphrase, and twice for the new passphrase.
Test whether keys have been revoked in a KRL.
Removes all keys belonging to hostname from a known_hosts file. This option is useful to delete hashed hosts (see the −H option above).
Print the SSHFP fingerprint resource record named hostname for the specified public key file.
Specify start point (in hex) when generating candidate moduli for DH-GEX.
Certify (sign) a public key using the specified CA key. Please see the CERTIFICATES section for details.
When generating a KRL, −s specifies a path to a CA public key file used to revoke certificates directly by key ID or serial number. See the KEY REVOCATION LISTS section for details.
Test DH group exchange candidate primes (generated using the −G option) for safety.
Specifies the type of key to create. The possible values are ''dsa'', ''ecdsa'', ''ed25519'', or ''rsa''.
When used in combination with −s, this option indicates that a CA key resides in a ssh-agent(1). See the CERTIFICATES section for more information.
Update a KRL. When specified with −k, keys listed via the command line are added to the existing KRL rather than a new KRL being created.
Specify a validity interval when signing a certificate. A validity interval may consist of a single time, indicating that the certificate is valid beginning now and expiring at that time, or may consist of two times separated by a colon to indicate an explicit time interval.
The start time may be specified as the string ''always'' to indicate the certificate has no specified start time, a date in YYYYMMDD format, a time in YYYYMMDDHHMM[SS] format, a relative time (to the current time) consisting of a minus sign followed by an interval in the format described in the TIME FORMATS section of sshd_config(5).
The end time may be specified as a YYYYMMDD date, a YYYYMMDDHHMM[SS] time, a relative time starting with a plus character or the string ''forever'' to indicate that the certificate has no expirty date.
For example: ''+52w1d'' (valid from now to 52 weeks and one day from now), ''-4w:+4w'' (valid from four weeks ago to four weeks from now), ''20100101123000:20110101123000'' (valid from 12:30 PM, January 1st, 2010 to 12:30 PM, January 1st, 2011), ''-1d:20110101'' (valid from yesterday to midnight, January 1st, 2011). ''-1m:forever'' (valid from one minute ago and never expiring).
Verbose mode. Causes ssh-keygen to print debugging messages about its progress. This is helpful for debugging moduli generation. Multiple −v options increase the verbosity. The maximum is 3.
Specify desired generator when testing candidate moduli for DH-GEX.
This option will read a private OpenSSH format file and print an OpenSSH public key to stdout.
Specifies a serial number to be embedded in the certificate to distinguish this certificate from others from the same CA. The default serial number is zero.
When generating a KRL, the −z flag is used to specify a KRL version number.
ssh-keygen may be used to generate groups for the Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange (DH-GEX) protocol. Generating these groups is a two-step process: first, candidate primes are generated using a fast, but memory intensive process. These candidate primes are then tested for suitability (a CPU-intensive process).
By default, the search for primes begins at a random point in the desired length range. This may be overridden using the −S option, which specifies a different start point (in hex).
By default, each candidate will be subjected to 100 primality tests. This may be overridden using the −a option. The DH generator value will be chosen automatically for the prime under consideration. If a specific generator is desired, it may be requested using the −W option. Valid generator values are 2, 3, and 5.
Screened DH groups may be installed in /etc/ssh/moduli. It is important that this file contains moduli of a range of bit lengths and that both ends of a connection share common moduli.
ssh-keygen supports signing of keys to produce certificates that may be used for user or host authentication. Certificates consist of a public key, some identity information, zero or more principal (user or host) names and a set of options that are signed by a Certification Authority (CA) key. Clients or servers may then trust only the CA key and verify its signature on a certificate rather than trusting many user/host keys. Note that OpenSSH certificates are a different, and much simpler, format to the X.509 certificates used in ssl(8).
The host certificate will be output to /path/to/host_key-cert.pub.
Similarly, it is possible for the CA key to be hosted in a ssh-agent(1). This is indicated by the −U flag and, again, the CA key must be identified by its public half.
In all cases, key_id is a "key identifier" that is logged by the server when the certificate is used for authentication.
Additional limitations on the validity and use of user certificates may be specified through certificate options. A certificate option may disable features of the SSH session, may be valid only when presented from particular source addresses or may force the use of a specific command. For a list of valid certificate options, see the documentation for the −O option above.
Finally, certificates may be defined with a validity lifetime. The −V option allows specification of certificate start and end times. A certificate that is presented at a time outside this range will not be considered valid. By default, certificates are valid from UNIX Epoch to the distant future.
For certificates to be used for user or host authentication, the CA public key must be trusted by sshd(8) or ssh(1). Please refer to those manual pages for details.
ssh-keygen is able to manage OpenSSH format Key Revocation Lists (KRLs). These binary files specify keys or certificates to be revoked using a compact format, taking as little as one bit per certificate if they are being revoked by serial number.
KRLs may be generated using the −k flag. This option reads one or more files from the command line and generates a new KRL. The files may either contain a KRL specification (see below) or public keys, listed one per line. Plain public keys are revoked by listing their hash or contents in the KRL and certificates revoked by serial number or key ID (if the serial is zero or not available).
Revoking keys using a KRL specification offers explicit control over the types of record used to revoke keys and may be used to directly revoke certificates by serial number or key ID without having the complete original certificate on hand. A KRL specification consists of lines containing one of the following directives followed by a colon and some directive-specific information.
Revokes a certificate with the specified serial number. Serial numbers are 64-bit values, not including zero and may be expressed in decimal, hex or octal. If two serial numbers are specified separated by a hyphen, then the range of serial numbers including and between each is revoked. The CA key must have been specified on the ssh-keygen command line using the −s option.
Revokes a certificate with the specified key ID string. The CA key must have been specified on the ssh-keygen command line using the −s option.
Revokes the specified key. If a certificate is listed, then it is revoked as a plain public key.
Revokes the specified key by including its SHA1 hash in the KRL.
Revokes the specified key by including its SHA256 hash in the KRL. KRLs that revoke keys by SHA256 hash are not supported by OpenSSH versions prior to 7.9.
Revokes a key using a fingerprint hash, as obtained from a sshd(8) authentication log message or the ssh-keygen −l flag. Only SHA256 fingerprints are supported here and resultant KRLs are not supported by OpenSSH versions prior to 7.9.
KRLs may be updated using the −u flag in addition to −k. When this option is specified, keys listed via the command line are merged into the KRL, adding to those already there.
It is also possible, given a KRL, to test whether it revokes a particular key (or keys). The −Q flag will query an existing KRL, testing each key specified on the command line. If any key listed on the command line has been revoked (or an error encountered) then ssh-keygen will exit with a non-zero exit status. A zero exit status will only be returned if no key was revoked.
Contains the DSA, ECDSA, Ed25519 or RSA authentication identity of the user. This file should not be readable by anyone but the user. It is possible to specify a passphrase when generating the key; that passphrase will be used to encrypt the private part of this file using 128-bit AES. This file is not automatically accessed by ssh-keygen but it is offered as the default file for the private key. ssh(1) will read this file when a login attempt is made.
Contains the DSA, ECDSA, Ed25519 or RSA public key for authentication. The contents of this file should be added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on all machines where the user wishes to log in using public key authentication. There is no need to keep the contents of this file secret.
Contains Diffie-Hellman groups used for DH-GEX. The file format is described in moduli(5).


PHILADELPHIA - Derek Jeter almost seems to delight in the way this World Series is playing out.
Forget all those power hitters. Pitching is priceless.
"I told you," he said with a smile.
Without any offense from Alex Rodriguez, Jeter and the New York Yankees totaled four runs in the first two games and still eked out a split at home. Now, the Series shifts to Philadelphia for Game 3 tonight, with Cole Hamels set to start for the Phillies against fellow left-hander Andy Pettitte.
Citizens Bank Park is approximately 108 miles from Yankee Stadium, with all those New Jersey Turnpike tolls in between. Both teams zipped down on the train in a little more than an hour – the Phillies after their 3-1 loss Thursday night, the Yankees on Friday afternoon.
During batting practice, as one slugger after another sent balls ricocheting around Philadelphia's cozy ballpark, it was hard to fathom how Cliff Lee and A.J. Burnett looked so dominant on the mound the previous two nights.
"I can't say enough about our advanced scouting and our reports. They're right on," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said.
Sooner or later, though, some of these big bats are bound to break loose.
Mark Teixeira's only hit in seven at-bats is a solo homer. Phillies bopper Ryan Howard is hitting .222 with six strikeouts. A monster in the playoffs, Rodriguez is 0-for-8 in his first World Series, also with six strikeouts.
A-Rod was mostly an October bust before this year, but Jeter insisted he's not worried.
Because World Series rules do not allow a designated hitter in the National League park, New York must decide whether to put Hideki Matsui in the outfield or on the bench.
"As productive as he's been for us this year, you don't want to lose his bat," manager Joe Girardi said.
Matsui hit a go-ahead homer off Pedro Martinez in Game 2 and it might seem tempting to start him in right field in place of slumping Nick Swisher. Slowed by knee surgeries, however, Matsui hasn't played the outfield since June 15, 2008, at Houston. He appeared in right field only three times that year, all in April.
Matsui was stationed in right during batting practice and jogged after a few fungos, but it was hardly an intense workout.
Speaking before his team took the field, Girardi didn't disclose his plans.
As for the Phillies, they turn to Hamels, last year's World Series MVP against Tampa Bay.
A sure thing last October, the 25-year-old Hamels has struggled this season. He went 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA in three NL playoff starts.
A big one, indeed. Nine of the last 10 teams to win Game 3 when the World Series was tied 1-all went on to take the title.
Hamels said that when he was growing up he emulated Pettitte, who set a major-league record with his 16th postseason win when he beat the Los Angeles Angels to clinch the AL Championship Series.
The 37-year-old Pettitte is 2-0 with a 2.37 ERA this postseason and 3-4 with a 3.82 ERA in 11 World Series starts.
Today: New York (Pettitte 14-8) at Philadelphia (Hamels 10-11), 4:57 p.m.
Sunday: New York (TBA) at Philadelphia (Blanton 12-8), 5:20 p.m.
Monday: New York at Philadelphia, 4:57 p.m.
x-Wednesday: Philadelphia at New York, 4:57 p.m.
x-Thursday: Philadelphia at New York, 4:57 p.m.


A MAN died and two other people were injured in a horrific car smash in Huddersfield today.
The blue Subaru Impreza lost control on the approach to the Asda roundabout, in Bradford Road, just before 6am.
The car skidded and ploughed sideways into a lamp-post killing the driver who was thought to be in his mid-20s.
Fire crews from Huddersfield were the first on the scene and had to cut the roof from the car to release the two male and one female passengers.
Police have confirmed they want to speak to passengers in another car they believe may have been travelling with the Subaru.
Huddersfield Fire Station watch manager Alan Woodcock described the rescue operation as "delicate".
"We were the first on the scene even before the ambulance crews so our first aider had to access the situation immediately," he said.
"We had to work closely with medics because it was very difficult to cut the roof and sides of the car away to get to the injured people.
"The woman was the first one we got out - she had leg and eye injuries."
Further down Bradford Road at the Hillhouse traffic lights in Fartown a police patrol car was involved in an accident while speeding to the fatal crash outside Asda. Two officers were treated for minor injuries when they hit an Audi A4 and continued in to a wall.
An Asda employee said he was working when the accident happened on the roundabout.
"I did not hear anything but people came in and said there had been a big accident.
"I was shocked when I saw the car it is a mess. I can't imagine anybody walking away from that."
Insp Steve Dent, of Huddersfield Police, said anyone who saw the car either last night or early this morning should get in touch.
"Details at this stage are a bit sketchy and it is vital that we speak to anyone with information.
"When emergency services arrived at the scene there were people already here which suggests another car may have been travelling with this one.
"We will be looking through CCTV footage later today."
Anyone with information should contact police on 0845 6060606.
Accident Investigation teams closed the road until lunchtime.


Serious mental illness includes diagnoses which typically involve psychosis (losing touch with reality or experiencing delusions) or high levels of care, and which may require hospital treatment. Here we look at two of the most common severe mental illnesses: schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (or manic depression).
Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects a person's thinking, and that can consequently alter their perception of reality, their emotions and their behaviour. Often the onset of schizophrenia occurs when a person is in their late teens or early twenties, although it can also begin in later years. Approximately 1 in every 100 people will be affected by schizophrenia.
Scientists have identified a number of potential causes or triggers of schizophrenia – from genetic factors to emotional causes such as a traumatic experience, physical injuries to the brain and problems in the brain's development.
Symptoms of schizophrenia can be put into two categories: positive symptoms and negative symptoms.
Delusions: personal beliefs that are false and based on incorrect inference about external reality; these beliefs are firmly held despite any evidence to the contrary.
Hallucinations: when a person experiences or perceives things that don't exist. This may be via any of the senses: a hallucination might be seen, heard, smelt or felt.
Disturbances in the thought process: these can include a chaotic stream of thoughts or a sudden loss of all thoughts.
Schizophrenia is very treatable. People diagnosed with schizophrenia are normally prescribed medication which targets the positive symptoms. There are a number of antipsychotic medications now available, and you can discuss the choice with your doctor, taking into account side-effects and other issues.
However, medication should only be a part of a recovery package for schizophrenia. For more information on taking a more comprehensive, 'whole person approach' to recovering from serious mental illness, click here.
Bipolar disorder (or manic depression) is a serious mental illness that causes extreme shifts in a person's mood. People with bipolar disorder often have recurring episodes of mania and depression throughout their lives, although many are free of symptoms between these episodes.
Bipolar disorder is known to run in families, so genes are believed to be a significant factor. However, as with schizophrenia, stressful life events or physical injuries as well as other factors can lead to the onset of symptoms of the illness.
A person can have symptoms of both mania and depression at the same time.
Psychotic behaviour may also be present during severe episodes of either mania or depression. This can include delusions and hallucinations.
As with schizophrenia, there are effective treatments available for manic depression. Often care and treatment will combine medication and psychosocial treatment.
The most common treatment used during the manic phase of bipolar disorder is lithium carbonate, a mood stabilising medication. Depression may be treated with anti-depressants and talking treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
The most effective care package for serious mental illness takes into account all areas of life. For more information on taking a 'whole person approach' to recovering from serious mental illness, click here.

When the wheels fall off - What goes wrong & how to fix it! When the wheels fall off - What goes wrong & how to fix it!
As both an athlete and a coach I have faced the inevitable period in a season or during a training block when everything just seems to fall to pieces. The very best laid plan or the big goal you have been working towards for the past 6 months seems like it is suddenly just not going to happen.
There are so many reasons that this occurs to us as we are not machines that simply churn out the training day after day, week after week. Understanding the tale tell signs that its happening, what is causing or has caused it as well as what to do to get yourself back on track is all part of the longer journey. Nothing beats that sense of achievement that comes with ticking those long-term goals off the bucket list and feeling like you are not going to make it so close to an event can be incredibly disheartening. In this article I will try to outline the reason why sometimes we just want to hang the bike up in the garage and give you some strategies to overcome it and get back on track.
Why do the wheels fall off, what are the signs and how do we get back on track?
Overtraining is one of the biggest single reasons I see for riders throwing the towel in and losing motivation. It is also one of the most common reasons I have riders approach FTP Training to seek help to manage their training and help them hit their targets and goals. The process of overtraining tends to creep up on us over long periods of constant overreaching. Trying to hit new personal best power numbers every ride, trying to beat your mates on every bunchy or going for strava segments at every opportunity are sure fire methods to burn out and over train. Constantly flogging ourselves simply wears us down both physically and mentally.
The common signs of overtraining are varied, but, every one of the signs I am going to list can be associated with it and when several are all occurring at the same time we need to address it.
A sudden drop in performance, that seems to happen when you have just been flying out on the bike. This is often accompanied by sore aching muscles and sudden changes in resting heart rate. It is often believed by the rider to be a lack of form and therefore more training and longer hours are needed. This along with harder sessions are completed while all the time performance on the bike is getting worse.
Irritability and a short temper with loved ones and at work, often over very trivial things and totally out of character.
An inability to get to sleep and night where you lay there incredibly tired and stressing because you know you must get up the next morning to meet the bunch. When you do get to sleep its often a fitful disturbed sleep and you wake up feeling more tired than when you went to bed.
A sudden lack of motivation and not wanting to ride or even look at the bike.
Changes in eating habits where you feel hungry all the time and its often junk food full of simple refined carbs and sugary foods that you crave.
The first thing to do when you see any of these symptoms is rest, take some time off the bike and spend some time with family or friends. Go and do some other activities or jobs that you neglected to focus on the bike. How long this period needs to be really depends upon how long you have been overreaching for and how deep a hole you have dug for yourself. More often than not 3 or 4 days completely off the bike is enough to feel better and ready to go again. It can however take a lot longer than this and require an extended period of rest. If this occurs not long before the target event your goals may need to be revised, again as I outlined this is determined by how long this has been going on.
Incorrect periodisation of training is another reason that suddenly you feel like you have had enough. Periodising the season is vitally important when aiming for a target event as in my experience most riders have around 5 months of a build towards an event before needing a rest. Too long hammering yourself with VO2 and anaerobic efforts is another sure-fire way to lose your mojo right before the event.
As with overtraining getting the periodization of your training wrong can scupper your chances of reaching your target event due to loss of motivation and lack of desire to ride your bike. The feeling of dread about hitting those high intensity intervals again when all you want to do is just go and ride your bike with your mates.
Work back from your target event and don't just meander along from week to week.
Look at the structure of your training and the duration of each training phase leading up to your event. The overall structure could follow a classic periodization approach.
4 week peaking block targeting the specifics of the target event or goal.
Anxiety and lack of confidence is another reason for us to want to just forget it all and go and fishing instead. It's common for all athletes to go through this as the nagging doubts creep into our heads. Have we done enough, are we fit enough, can we do it and complete the ride, can I compete at this level or will I look a fool and get dropped straight away. These thoughts tend to happen at precisely the wrong time and more often than not this loss of mojo and feelings that you just want to give up occur very close to the event, often a 2 – 3 weeks out. You sit there thinking why is this happening, you have done so much work to get so close.
You just feel like cracking open the beers and going to Maccas. Your focus has gone, you just feel like not bothering with it after all.
You start to think of reasons not to do it like you have too much work on or you are just not fit enough to do it.
Don't panic, go easy on yourself and just accept that this is or can be a part of the process. Just go for a ride and enjoy being out on the bike.
Know that at this point in your training the work has been done and a few easy days with less structure will not suddenly ruin your chances and stop you being the best you can be.
Look back over your training and if you're using a power meter or tracking some of your strava times look at the gains you have made, the load and fitness you have developed.
If you have a coach chat to them about how you're feeling and go through the data with them, this helps to reaffirm you are on track and ready to go.
Try to fill your time with some other activities as you start to taper into the event. This additional time not on your bike allows too much time thinking and doubting yourself.
There you have it, some of the most common reasons the wheels can fall off in your journey towards your target event. I hope this helps you not only identify that this is happening to you, but, also to set a strategy to not let it happen again and if it does to not let it stop you being awesome and completing what you set out to achieve.

Master Harold… and the boys A Lesson In Not Bumping Into Each Other
Leon Addison Brown, Sahr Ngaujah
"Anybody who thinks there's nothing wrong with this world needs to have his head examined. Just when things are going all right, without fail someone or something will come along and spoil everything. Somebody should write that down as a fundamental law of the Universe. The principle of perpetual disappointment. If there is a God who created this world, he should scrap it and try again."
Sahr Ngaujah, Noah Robbins, Leon Addison Brown
There are some amazing performances and shows this year, Master Harold … and the Boys written and directed by South African writer Athol Fugard at the Signature Theater is on that list. Fugard has long written about apartheid, racism and it's effects and with his production at the Signature Fugard does Fugard well.
Leon Addison Brown, Noah Robbins, Sahr Ngaujah
This three-character play, takes place in 1950, at a teashop in Port Elizabeth South Africa. Both Sam (Leon Addison Brown) and Willie (Sahr Ngaujah), have worked for the family and in the shop for awhile. Now in their 40s, Sam is a waiter, with much more brains, while Willie, does the dirty work and is a little slow. Both are black. They have been looking after 17-year-old Hally (the fantastic Noah Robbins), the son of the teashop's owners, who is "privileged" in the sense that he is white. He arrives from school as it is raining.
Noah Robbins, Sahr Ngaujah, Leon Addison Brown
The boy's have been Hally's lifeline, with Sam calling Hally by name. Sam however still uses Master. Halley learns that his mother has gone to the hospital to bring home his alcoholic abusive father. This upsets Hally whose camaraderie was dictated out of friendship not skin. He knows that the racial system is morally wrong, holding out hope for a better day.
Sahr Ngaujah, Leon Addison Brown, Noah Robbins
When Sam gently tries to get Hally to see how he loves his father Hally turns and their friendship is forever changed. The moment is heartbreaking. The affection between Sam and Hally changes and we see how prejudice is deeply rooted.
Mr. Robbins is perfection as Hally. From his South African accent, to his breakdown of right from wrong, we see the breakdown of society in the way Mr. Robbins disintegrates from needy child to prejudice adolescent. Mr. Brown performance is compelling with his understated presence, showing Sam's intelligence despite the lack of learning. Mr. Ngaujahbest known for creating the title role in "Fela!," adds a much needed humor .
By the end Master Harold… and the boys is a lesson learned simply by watching this riveting play performed, directed and stated so well.
Those are big collisions, Hally. They make for a lot of bruises. People get hurt in all that bumping, and we're sick and tired of it now. It's been going on for too long. Are we never going to get it right?…Learn to dance life like champions instead of always being just a bunch of beginners at it?
Master Harold… and the boys: Pershing Square Signature Center, The
480 W. 42nd St. until December 11th.

Police Minister intervenes when it suits
The motives behind the Police Minister's decision to intervene with the hours of operation at Waurn Ponds Police Station in her own area, but not other regions across Victoria such as Lakes Entrance, was raised in State Parliament last week.
Member for Gippsland East, Tim Bull, who has been advocating for more police in Lakes Entrance during peak tourism times, was on hand to watch Opposition Leader Matthew Guy quiz the Minister in Question Time last Thursday as to why she intervened following cuts to counter hours at Waurn Ponds, near Geelong, but not Lakes Entrance.
"When I've asked the Minister and her predecessors about the operational hours at Lakes Entrance Police Station, and the need for additional resources come Christmas and Easter, I've been told it's a decision for the Chief Commissioner," Mr Bull said.
"However, it seems the Minister can intervene when it's in her own region."
Mr Guy asked: "Minister, why did you intervene regarding cuts to the opening hours at Waurn Ponds police station when you have been a silent and passive bystander while the opening hours have been cut or police stations closed at places such as Endeavour Hills, Greensborough, Burwood, Ashburton, Carrum Downs, Forest Hill, Mount Waverley, Nunawading, Whitfield, Tatura, Somerville, Reservoir, Pakenham, Ballarat West, Mooroolbark, Craigieburn, Epping and Lakes Entrance?
"Minister, at Waurn Ponds you actively intervened in what you have previously said was an operational decision. Why will you not now commit to intervening for the other 18 locations in the same manner that you are gloating about having done for Waurn Ponds?"
"Unfortunately, the Minister could not provide an answer suitable for the concerned communities at these locations, including Lakes Entrance," Mr Bull said.
"It's double standards to then hear about the reduced counter areas in one area and take action, but leave the other communities out in the cold," Mr Bull said.
Mr Bull said he would continue to lobby the Government for additional police resources for the upcoming Christmas and Easter holiday periods.
Roads Minister questioned about highway closure
The lack of notification and consultation with the local business and tourism sector in relation to the closure of the Princes Highway at Bunga Creek, east of Lakes Entrance, has been raised in Parliament by Member for Gippsland East, Tim Bull, following contact by several local operators.
"My office has received complaints about the lack of notification and consultation with the local business and tourism sectors, mainly in Lakes Entrance and Lake Tyers Beach," Mr Bull said.
During State Parliament on Thursday, Mr Bull directed a question to the Roads Minister about the timing of the closure while culverts under the roads are replaced, which has resulted in lengthy detours and a high level of frustration within the community.
"VicRoads has since advised it is in the process of establishing a temporary, one-lane road along the highway, with hopes of it opening before the start of the school holidays," he said.
"I have urged VicRoads to try and have these works completed before the holidays so the detour is not required and they are hopeful of achieving this, but weather will play a role."
Mr Bull said after asking the question in Parliament, he was advised VicRoads had not initially intended to start the works until after the school holidays, but the road had deteriorated in recent weeks and as a result, works had to be commenced immediately for safety reasons.
Caption: The Princes Highway, between the intersections to Lake Bunga and Lake Tyers Beach, is currently closed.

Concerns over Doctors in Schools program
The announcement of the State Government's Doctors in Secondary Schools Program has raised a number of concerns about exactly how the program will run, according to Gippsland East Nationals MP, Tim Bull.
The Government this morning announced Bairnsdale and Maffra Secondary Colleges and Swifts Creek P-12 School will be included in the Doctors in Secondary Schools Program, however Mr Bull said that due to a lack of detail, some parents had raised legitimate queries.
"Philosophically it's a good idea, however there are as yet unanswered questions over just how the program will work," Mr Bull said.
"Parents have raised concerns that children as young as 12 may be able to access medical advice and treatment at school, including things like prescriptions for the contraceptive pill," he said.
"The Government has failed to clarify whether parents will be able to provide consent – or even have knowledge – that their children will be accessing a doctor whilst at school.
"It is also unclear if the decision to have a doctor attending schools will have input from the school leadership and the parent associations.
"Whilst I have great confidence in our schools and medical practitioners to make common-sense decisions around such topics, it is clear that all parents state-wide fully understand the details on how this program will work. As a parent, I want to know.
"The program is set to roll out from term one next year and I would hope that the detail on the program that is presently missing is relayed on to schools and parents in the very near future," Mr Bull said.

Q: Что означает stalled в timeline dev tools при использовании протокола SPDY Что означает stalled (Большие значение порядка 300-400мс) в timeline dev tools при использовании протокола SPDY?
Ведь судя по описанию протокола, все идет частями через одно подключение.
А в описании к dev-tools network про stalled написано:

Time the request spent waiting before it could be sent. This time is inclusive of any time spent in proxy negotiation. Additionally, this time will include when the browser is waiting for an already established connection to become available for re-use, obeying Chrome's maximum six TCP connection per origin rule.

Как я думал, при использовании SPDY браузер не должен ждать установления соединения, ведь оно всего одно и данные идут частями.

Out of the box the Mio Fuse is a chunky cuff for your wrist. I was sent the Mio Fuse Red (or Crimson according to the marketing documentation). Ideally the Crimson band is for larger wrist sizes. Unfortunately I have a tiny wrist so the device was rather chunky and loose when I fitted it. I rather liked the strap which has a typical watch type set up but is further secured via to press points. That means you have very little chance of it coming loose during a work out.
I had a Fitbit for a few months and I loved it more than words can say. During a move to my new flat it somehow got lost in the boxes and I've still been unable to locate it, something that depresses me each day. I found the Fitbit great for tracking my day to day activity and upping my usual steps to try increase my movement. I also liked the way the Fitbit counted the stairs I'd gone up. It became a reminder to skip the elevator where I could.
Following off the Fitbit I tried out the Apple Watch which I loved more than words can accurately express.
The Apple Watch was ideal for someone who isn't a complete fitness junky but is really just looking for a way to up their anti and improve on how much time they spend moving. It is the perfect fitness companion for the super active or the not so super active (like me). Add in to the mix all the other features, it becomes a great must have wearable.
The Mio Fuse is not for the casual fitness fan.
The Mio Fuse is designed for serious athletes. Think cyclists prepping for insane challenges or runners aiming for the comrades. It's the wearable for the iron woman and not the marshmallow girl trying to tone up. It's a great fitness device with a host of features. It tracks your steps, your calories burnt and, more importantly, provides data on your pace and distance travelled.
It also has an additional Mio Optical Heart Rate monitor which is rather fancy. On starting a workout you activate your smartphone Mio app that then kickstarts the heart rate monitor. As you work out the band flashes various LED colours to indicate your heart rate level. For serious long distance athletes this is great as they don't need to stop working to check their heart rate. The light flashes and optional vibrations give you touch and sight indications as you go.
It is something my athlete friends love.
However, I'm not a serious athlete. I've only recently started running and do a lot of it on a treadmill because I'm alone. I haven't even factored in heart rate in to my workouts yet. I focus on just running for the time I need to and trying to increase my distance each time.
My experience with the Mio Fuse was less than fantastic. For starters it arrives with very little written instruction out the box. You basically get a little pamphlet indicating that you should download the Mio GO app. So I did. The app prompted me to add some details about myself, claimed it had paired to the device and that was it. However, every time I tried to start a work out (by pressing the start a work out button on the app) it would tell me the device wasn't synced. But my profile reflected it was synced. I spent three days at gym with no tracking data because I just couldn't get the device to work. Finally, one day, it just started (so odd).
There are a host of customisable features in app for the device but they're hard to navigate at the get go. If you've never used a fitness tracker you're likely going to be rather confused. You'll need to have a decent understanding of wearables and, specifically, fitness wearables, to determine the customisable features and what you want for your specific needs.
I found the heart rate monitor struggled to track my heart rate and indicate changes. It was somewhat buggy and I think that had more to do with the cuff being loose. A smaller Mio Fuse may have supplied more accurate results. The display on the device gives you time, steps and the usuals but very little other information is supplied. You need to go in app for that. There are also no buttons on the Mio Fuse but rather raised dots to press.
For the most part it tracked my workouts just fine and as a daily tracker gave me insight in to the amount of steps I take in a day. For a serious athlete the tracking capabilities and heart rate monitor are going to be extremely attractive. The rubber design means you can bash it around and it is also water resistant which is ideal.
However if, like me, you're not prepping for the comrades and really just want to track your day to day movements, sleep patterns and generally just improve your health – this is not the fitness band for you. It does most of that stuff (except sleep patterns – it doesn't track sleep or stairs) but it isn't really made for the casual exerciser. For starters, it is a big and chunky so it doesnt seamlessly transition from gym to work. It stands out like a sore thumb. It also has features developed for work outs so after your gym session don't be surprised if you're replacing it with a better looking watch.
It's not a bad device but it is definitely not MY device. I imagine the 5am runners are going to go mad for this one. I'm just reminded about how much I miss my Fitbit.
The Mio Fuse offers in detail analysis and data about your work outs.
It's not really much more than a step counter for the more casual fitness fan.
Disclaimer: I was given a Mio Fuse to keep.


Two overdrive channels, stack and combo switch for each channel. Channel 1 voiced for Texas and channel 2 voiced for killer 80/90's lead.
With two individual foot switch-selectable voices, the Double Shaman offers a vast range of versatile tones, providing distinct, separate texture ranges via its two "destinations," Austin (for a modern blues-rock vibe) and LA (classic '80s rock overdrive). Each destination includes its own controls for Level, Tone, and Drive, plus a Stack/Combo selector for maximum sonic flexibility. The Stack setting allows you to fatten up your Strat or Tele. Want to tighten up your Humbucker? Flip to combo mode.


Purchased in the past and will purchase more in the future. A gift that will last for generations to come!
I purchased one of these for my daughter as she had seen one at a store and was totally enchanted by it. When I opened hers and humg it on my front door, I knew I had to have one for myself. Quality craftsmanship and sound.
A happy jingle and a reminder of simpler times and places. I will buy more!


Whether you're an entrepreneur with a brand new line to introduce to the public or you're an established name with a smart new product, label design is a key part of getting your products on the shelves of shops across the country. Before you simply slap a label on your brand new item, though, there are a few things you may want to consider.
1. Think Size. There are lots of choices when it comes to label sizing these days, and while you certainly don't want a tiny label on a huge glass bottle, you likely do want something that sets you apart from your competition. You may even want to test a few ideas before you decide on one. For example, if you're going with round containers, think about whether you'd prefer one larger label that contains all of the information or a label on the front and one on the back. You're going to accomplish your goal either way, but one may look slightly more marketable than the other. Don't forget to factor in the potential for shaped labels here too.
2. A Photo Finish: How your label fits is one thing. How it looks is another. You can choose between a glossy and matte finish in many situations, and while matte offers that classic look that's easy to read, gloss can mean real impact on anyone who looks at your product. Reflectivity may be the perfect way to stand out, or it may just make your design hard to see, though, so be careful with both options.
3. Material Matters: Today's product labels offer a variety of material choices that just weren't possible a few years ago. Your design should be a perfect fit with the material. From textured to clear vinyl to waterproof choices, the options here are endless, but they won't all be perfect for you.
Selecting the right label for your product may take some trial and error, but in the end, it's going to help make your debut simply amazing. To learn more about what we offer and how we can help, please contact us today.

Its that al fresco time of year again!
There's only one thing to do when the child's last hour of creche is spent in the sandpit and thats keep him outdoors until the bath is run.
Dominic's grasp of cutlery has vastly improved. And boy does he not want my help anymore. So with our 'spell' (eh, 2 days so far) of good weather, I decided that we could take the mess outside.
I was alerted to a fantastic veggie blog recently by Donal Skehan on Twitter. It's called Veggies and Me written by an Australian woman living in Dublin. The food photography is gorgeous, and I really like the perspective of a vegetarian Australian living here. I plan to make Chargilled Veggies, Chickpea & Halloumi salad and After workout Breakfast eggs (except without the early morning workout) but this week I tackled the Eggplant Parmesan with Lentils. As Megan points out, this is a little time consuming and might make a good weekend dish. However, I prepared and assembled it after pilates one night, while baking sweet potato wedges and a sneaky quorn escalope in the oven for that evening. Then we popped it in the oven the following evening and had a couple of nights out of it. I'm not sure of the authenticity of the name, as there's not a bit of parmesan to be seen, but I'm sure you could sprinkle the veggie kind on there. Lentils were a great touch I have to say – it really made the dish unrecognisable from the dense chewy comfort food version that husbag has dished up in his day. We've argued long into the night about the idea of 'too much mozzarella' existing. I think you can have too much, he doesn't, but we can hash that out for ages. Whether this recipe sticks to the brief or not (I've checked there's a lorra lorra eggplant parmesan recipes out there, each one slightly different) it's a fantastic family food.
Ah I'm delighted to find a good veggie blog, especially a local one!

Q: Embedding Semantic Queries in MediaWiki Search Results I am using Semantic MediaWiki with Lucene search and looking for a way to embed a SQL or Semantic Search query using the search input terms to generate a small table of results.
For example: If I was searching for Bob's phone number and my semantic data is structured as [[bob's number::555-555-5555]] in the article [[Bob]], I would like a search for 'bob number' to return not only the normal lucene results but a small table with semantic query results, i.e. an inline query like
{{#ask: [[Bob]]
 | ?Number

where 'Bob' and 'Number' are filled in from the search terms and assuming the articles to be queried (i.e. [[Bob]]) adhere to a known format.
To generate a simple table of:
| Name | Number       |
| Bob  | 555-555-5555 |

I could also do this with a sql query rather than the semantic search inline query if necessary, I just don't know where to start as far as modifying the search results page or accessing the search terms to build that query. Any help as to where to start (or of course if there is an extension of some sort that already does this) would be greatly appreciated.

A: Are you using this extension for your Lucene search ?
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MWSearch
I did something similar on top of search results from Sphinx instead of Lucene. As long as you can get an array of page names, the method should stay the same.
You will have to find where the text snippets are generated and replace them with a call to the MediaWiki parser if you want to evaluate the result of an #ask query.
In practice, I found calling the parser for each match in the result set significantly degrades performance of the search (up to 15 seconds per result page).
It is a lot more efficient to use a predefined Semantic MediaWiki property for your snippets (easy to do if you are using Semantic Forms) and retrieve the value of that property instead of calling the parser.


On March 1st, 32 RISE Gambia students boarded buses from Kotu and St. Theresa's schools bound for the Peace Corps the Gambia office. While many students snapped selfies in the leather seats and enjoyed the air-conditioning, others jotted down questions they wanted to ask the American Peace Corps volunteers hosting the event.
When Ascend staff and students first heard about the women's day event, their first thought was that it would focus on the challenges: early marriage, female genital mutilation, etc. But Haddy Sowe and the Peace Corps volunteers had something else in mind: let's focus on the successes.
Peace Corps volunteers led sessions focusing on famous women in African history who have led armies and mobilized activist movements. Women who have held power as Queens and more recently as Presidents and high-ranking military officials. Students were given a tour of Africa's heroines from the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, to Wangari Maathai, the renowned Kenyan environmental activist and Africa's first female Nobel Peace Prize recipient. Not to be forgotten was Gambia's own Fatou Bensouda, the Chief Prosecutor for the International Criminal Court, and one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world for her role as "a leading voice pressing governments to support the quest for justice." The message to the young students: gender is only as much a barrier as you allow it to be.
After the morning presentations, Ascend students split into groups of three and rotated between 10 Peace Corps volunteers who each led different small-group discussions. Some were light-hearted - celebrating the importance of laundry-folding skills; while others addressed the cultural challenges that face young people in The Gambia. But all the sessions succeeded in being an opportunity for young women and men from the United States and The Gambia to discuss gender issues in their respective cultures and to learn about gender in the other's culture.
Bintu Dambally, a grade nine student from St. Theresa's Upper Basic School, said her favorite part of the event was hearing about the role of African women throughout history. Isatou M. Jallow, a grade 10 student from Kotu, and an emerging gender activist, said she enjoyed hearing about the progress in gender equality in America. And Binta Janneh, also a grade 10 student from Kotu, said she liked seeing the changes in women's fashion in Africa over time.
We thank Peace Corps The Gambia and their volunteers for bringing their energy and expertise to our students. Each new piece of knowledge these students gain brings them one step closer to realizing their potential as outstanding citizens and leaders of the future.

A highly anticipated memoir by Gabriel Byrne, the award-winning star of over 80 films, Walking with Ghosts is an exquisite portrait of an Irish childhood and a remarkable journey to Hollywood and Broadway success.
Grove Press, 2021
From Grove Atlantic:
As a young boy growing up in the outskirts of Dublin, Gabriel Byrne sought refuge in a world of imagination among the fields and hills near his home, at the edge of a rapidly encroaching city. Born to working class parents and the eldest of six children, he harbored a childhood desire to become a priest. When he was eleven years old, Byrne found himself crossing the Irish Sea to join a seminary in England. Four years later, Byrne had been expelled and he quickly returned to his native city. There he took odd jobs as a messenger boy and a factory laborer to get by. In his spare time, he visited the cinema where he could be alone and yet part of a crowd. It was here that he could begin to imagine a life beyond the grey world of 60s Ireland.
He reveled in the theatre and poetry of Dublin's streets, populated by characters as eccentric and remarkable as any in fiction, those who spin a yarn with acuity and wit. It was a friend who suggested Byrne join an amateur drama group, a decision that would change his life forever and launch him on an extraordinary forty-year career in film and theatre. Moving between sensual recollection of childhood in a now almost vanished Ireland and reflections on stardom in Hollywood and Broadway, Byrne also courageously recounts his battle with addiction and the ambivalence of fame.
Walking with Ghosts is by turns hilarious and heartbreaking as well as a lyrical homage to the people and landscapes that ultimately shape our destinies.
Grove Atlantic Official Book Cover
Washington Post/Keith Donohue
That passage is one of many that show the mark of a real writer, a born storyteller with a poet's ear. "Walking with Ghosts" — Byrne's second memoir, following "Pictures in My Head" (1994) — dazzles with unflinching honesty, as it celebrates the exuberance of being alive to the world despite living through pain. His portrait of an artist as a young boy is steeped in nostalgia of the best sort, re-creating the pull of home. In her poem "Nostos," Louise Glück writes "We see the world once, in childhood/The rest is memory." Somehow Byrne has created that onceness for us.
After his expulsion from the seminary, Byrne drifts for a while, trying to find a path, first as a plumber and then as a petty thief, before stumbling back into the theater that he had enjoyed as a boy. In the second strand of the book, he explores his life as an actor, and here the focus is not on rehashing his many achievements, but rather on the dubious nature of fame and on self-doubt. Byrne wins a battle with alcoholism, ponders the surreal notion of being a sex symbol and considers the costs to his authentic self of a lifetime of wearing the actor's mask. "We all act all the time," he writes. "Life makes us necessary deceivers. Except maybe when we are alone."
New York Times/Sarah Lyall
In emotional, evocative prose, "Walking With Ghosts" describes the town outside Dublin where he grew up, the oldest of six children crammed into a small house, their father working as a barrel-maker for the Guinness brewery, everyone in each other's business. They were steeped in Catholicism, part of a system that was really about "the deconstruction of oneself," Byrne said.
In passages that are horrifying, then funny, then both, he describes, for instance, learning the story of Adam and Eve from a fire-and-brimstone nun, in a lesson that ends with God declaring to the fallen pair: "And by the way, your children will be miserable as well." ("That's why the world is such an unhappy place," the nun adds.)
He said he wanted the book to explore memory and identity, issues complicated for him by being so long gone from Ireland.
"The moment you leave the country, your relationship with it changes," Byrne said. "For me, it's always been a conflicted relationship. I've always missed the country, the people, the landscape, the humor, the shared references, the fact that you don't have to explain yourself."
In the back of his mind as he began writing, he said, were A.E. Housman's "A Shropshire Lad," with its "blue remembered hills," and William Wordsworth's "Tintern Abbey," which couples nostalgia with the harsh reality that the past is irrevocably gone.

A Graphic Toolkit to Encourage Social Distancing
The wayfinding experts at Applied have created a universal signage system to help encourage safer public behavior during the pandemic.
BY RYAN WADDOUPS August 31, 2020
When navigating public spaces during Covid-19, abiding by social distancing standards and other safety guidelines can get confusing. Public messaging around safe behavior can change depending on one's location—it seems that almost every individual business and entity has tried to develop their own system to communicate these new standards, with mixed results. The lack of consistency in messaging and overwhelming amounts of differing information can make it difficult to follow, thus deterring long-term behavioral change toward preventing the spread of Covid-19.
That's why Applied, a team of international wayfinding experts, has published the Covid-19 Design Toolkit, a comprehensive set of guidelines, icons, and templates for how to design systems in high-traffic places to encourage safer public behavior in response to the pandemic. After spending the past four months advising clients on how to introduce social distancing guidance into complex environments like transit stations and university campuses, Applied developed the Covid-19 Design Toolkit with a wide variety of industries in mind. It's aimed at creating a universal design language that can be tailored to different locations, from entire cities to individual retail stores and offices.
"Through our work in dealing with the Covid-19 crisis, we've spotted a great degree of public confusion with knowing what to do when walking around a city or into a store, where to queue at or at what point to wear a face mask," says Applied founder and creative director Tim Fendley. "This guide lets organizations collaborate and ultimately make environments safer and easier to use without the confusion." The toolkit, which sets out a clear roadmap for implementation, is available royalty-free to any public or private landowner, place manager, or policy leader, and is free for anyone to download.

Finding a property management company that has been in business for a long time is an exceptional way to guarantee that your home or business management company is here to remain. Not to discuss having an expert property management company with decades of knowledge could prove really handy if your neighborhood requires legal, accounting, emergency situation response, and upkeep proficiency. The most significant advantage by far is that a company with durability has actually most likely encountered and solved any issue or problem your neighborhood has; there's nothing they haven't seen prior to.
There is no right or incorrect response, however a lower ratio of residential or commercial properties to supervisor often implies that your manager will have more time for you and your needs, and will be able to provide the best service. Sometimes, locals equate company size with more devoted service. While you may believe you would be better served by a little, family-run company, this isn't really constantly the case. Little companies may be extended thin, with one supervisor across many properties, frequently with no back-up support needs to the supervisor ended up being ill or need to take some time off. Usually, the larger companies have a greater depth of experience and resources, which enable them to deliver much better service to your neighborhood.
Being able to get in touch with somebody who can manage issues quickly and deciding is necessary. The best property management company need to have the ability to offer you with various techniques of contact. Search for companies that have purchased property management software application, which allows for direct communication with the management group, and can be quicker and more effective than more antiquated kinds of communication.

A full-service property management contract is typically anywhere from one to two years long– and your property management company might have charges or costs connected with ending your agreement early. If this holds true, you'll want to find out about it immediately. On the flip side, there may be added benefits to restoring an agreement every year.
A company might call itself a full-service residential management company. However, this can indicate extremely different things within the market. Will the company help with tactical planning, arranging preventative upkeep and fund collection? Get a list of exactly what services are included prior to you sign an agreement. Likewise, ask if the cost you are estimated is complete, or if exist any extra charges. Understanding what you will pay both upfront and on a repeating basis is very important and can help you make the best decision for your community. Finally, be specific to ask about other resources available to support your supervisor, consisting of legal, personnels, training and engineering.
All HOAs whether apartments, high-rise or large communities are different. In order to offer the best service, property management companies must have an in-depth procedure to find the right manager to fit the needs of your neighborhood. For instance, if much of your neighborhood's homeowners speak a foreign language– the best property management company will have the ability to staff your community with a manager who is fluent because language and can communicate with and comprehend the needs of your locals.
When it pertains to the daily business of managing your community, you'll wish to make sure that the managers who will be dealing with your home have the right training and qualifications to deal with the circumstances that undoubtedly arise. Look for business that offer skilled management groups with bench depth, which supply associate education programs and board member training. And, as the laws and regulations are continuously altering, ensure that your house supervisor is up to date, as evidenced by expert subscriptions and training.
9. How do you deal with maintenance issues when they arise?
A great domestic management company will have procedures in location that clearly specify how they'll react to upkeep and other emergency situation issues that might occur– because as we all understand, these problems constantly happen when we least anticipate them. Find out if a property management company has their own maintenance crew and if they deal with favored suppliers. Will they get numerous quotes, negotiate the best cost and pay costs on your behalf? The right property management company for you will be invested in conserving your community cash and provide you with cost-efficient maintenance options.
Look for a company that establishes a regular schedule of interaction, such as month-to-month reports and declarations. Participating in regular board meetings is a vital part of supplying the best service and managing a property well. Furthermore, the very best property management business must be available 24/7 and able to respond to routine concerns quickly. Search for HOA management business with a 24-hour client care center, which offers responses to residents' questions, while freeing up the manager to manage the property.

'Perfect breeding ground for nasty bacteria': Big Brother consultant warns of the hidden menace of hot tubs
Allen Wilson says they can contain life-threatening bacteria if not maintained properly
Simon Lennon
Robin JenkinsChief Cheltenham Reporter
Allen Wilson is warning about the health risk posed by poorly maintained hot tubs
One of the UK's leading experts on swimming pools, from Gloucester, says the growing trend for hot tubs could put people at risk of catching a host of nasty germs.
Allen Wilson, who has worked as a water quality consultant on reality TV show Big Brother, warns they can harbour a host of stomach-churning germs spread by faeces and urine.
The head of microbiological testing at Tuffley Crescent-based Studies In Work says he has found dozens of hot tubs that have failed basic health inspections. They have contained life-threatening bacteria such as E-Coli which can cause multiple organ failure as well as bacteria that cause severe skin rashes, eye and ear infections.

Even when tubs are switched off, Mr Wilson says there are a host of dangers that can lie beneath the surface of hot tubs some of which can cause respiratory failure, painful lesions and even death.
Due to the popularity of shows like Love Island, which features a hot tub, stores are facing unprecedented demand as Brits splash out for this summer's must have garden accessory.
There is a secret nudist club in Gloucestershire - and they even have a hot tub
Mr Wilson said: "These tubs are the perfect breeding ground for a host of nasty bacteria. These can occur when people drink alcohol before they get in and don't bother showering, so they take in all their dirt with them this includes normal dirt and sweat, fake tan, sun cream and worse of all unclean genitals and anal orifices covered with faeces and urine.
"Often the level of water treatment that should neutralise these threats is either completely inadequate or not taking place.
"The water temperature is like a warm bath which germs love and then allows them to multiply fast, especially when it is not turned on. These bacteria can cause devastating skin conditions, rashes and infections as well as urinary tract infections.

"Also the huge suction on the tub jets and spa pools has often seen women getting their hair caught and they get dragged under the water. There have been cases of women being killed in accidents like this.
"People see them as a harmless bit of fun but they need to treat them with caution. In my experience most often people don't keep them properly treated with chemicals to neutralise the threat and that's when things go wrong.
Hot tubs must be maintained properly, warns Mr Wilson
"Without the correct maintenance you can be left with life-long complications.
"It doesn't matter if you are sat in a hot tub with the jets on or off, the germs still multiply regardless."
Mr Wilson, who has worked for over 40 years in the swimming pool industry worldwide for hotels and tour operators, says he has seen the worst injuries and illness caused by hot tubs both at home and abroad.
He says one of the most common bacteria he finds is Pseudomonas Aeruginosa which is easily controlled by safe disinfectant levels and causes urinary tract infections, dermatitis and gastrointestinal infections. It can also cause 'hot tub rash' and severe eye and ear infections.
He has also seen E-Coli, a particularly vicious bacteria that can seriously damage your immune system and is spread by faeces after bathers fail to wipe their bottoms clean properly before getting in the water.
But the life-long member and former president of the Institute of Swimming Pool Engineers says coliforms such as E- Coli, although dangerous, can be controlled by using regular doses of chlorine.
He says bathers and persons in the vicinity also have to be wary of deadly Legionella bacteria that can be found in dirty contaminated water.

The Legionella can be released from the water in minute aerosol bubbles and can travel in air borne clusters for up to six kilometres.
Mr Wilson added: "One of the major problems with accidents and incident in tubs, spa and pools in homes and in holiday destinations is that they are not investigated by impartial, independent companies."

Unborn baby dies while Venezuelan mother awaits entry to Chile
SANTIAGO (Reuters) – Chilean officials said on Saturday that the unborn baby of a Venezuelan migrant had died while the woman waited for the appropriate visa to cross the border from Peru into Chile.
Peru last month clamped down on immigration, requiring migrants have passports and visas in order to stay in the country. The new rules have pushed some migrants south to Chile.
Chile´s foreign ministry said in a statement it regretted the death of the unborn baby, but said "it was not possible to lend medical assistance to foreign citizens in a neighboring country."
Venezuela's economic collapse has unleashed the biggest migratory crisis in recent South American history. Chile, one of Latin America´s strongest and most stable economies, has become a magnet for Venezuelans seeking a new home.
Immigration into Chile has increased sixfold in less than 30 years, from 114,500 in the 1992 census, to 746,465 last year. The majority of migrants recently have come from Haiti and Venezuela.
Chile´s foreign ministry said it had beefed up staff at its consulate in Tacna, Peru, to handle the influx. The consulate has issued more than a thousand visas for Venzuelans seeking entry into the country in the past three weeks, the ministry said.

At Starfish, we know that being recognized for effort is just as important as being recognized for achievement. For some campers, achievement at high levels in a single activity area is a great source of pride. For other campers, participating in a range of activities and trying new things is a goal. No matter what the intention, the Tag↑Up program allows campers to see tangible results of their time and effort, provides a chance for campers to mentor others and opens up avenues of conversation surrounding shared interests - a key social skill.
Each activity area at camp has a set of levels which we call "Tags." When campers achieve new levels, they receive recognition at an all-camp gathering and receive a small "Tag" to add to their collection. Staff also record Tag achievements in camper records and a copy of their Tag is hung on the TagBoard where it becomes part of a permanent display for all of camp to see. Each activity area also has special rituals for Tag Achievement - for example, at the waterfront, everyone stops and sings a congratulations song!
Click any image below to learn more about our Tag↑Up program!
Read the introduction and details behind the Tag↑Up program.
Check out this picture-grid of all currently available Tags, separated by activity area. Don't see one that looks interesting? Well, we try new things at camp, so maybe you will too... or, you can create your own!
Each Tag has what we call a Tag Guide - a corresponding master explanation for how each of its six levels can be earned. Some campers like to read over this info; others get the information verbally from counselors or in a simpler text format which shows one level at a time. Click to view the Tag Guide for the Learning Center - Experiments.
Tag↑Up is about personal motivation, not about competition.
One of the most-used Starfish tools is "we try our best, we don't have to be the best." During staff training, we teach it as "we honor attitude over aptitude." Positive encouragement for effort, attitude, intention and honest work are always recognized and rewarded. Some of the Tags our first-year campers will find most appealing are ones they earn without conscious action - such as trying 10 new camp activities. As campers transition upwards through Pioneers, Navigators, and into the teen programs, opportunities to "Create Your Own Tag" open up to encourage pursuit of individual interests, and older campers have opportunities to mentor new campers working to achieve tags they themselves received years before.
