At last, HootSuite have made G+ more useable for churches, charities, any anyone with a page. Recently, they added the G+ network to the web version of their social network application. This means that if you use HootSuite to post to your social networks, you can now post to your church G+ page, schedule posts to G+, or post to multiple networks, including G+.
HootSuite (or any other android app provider) are yet to enable this network on their Android application, but perhaps that will be HootSuite's next step.
For those who haven't tried the network since my earlier post Google Plus – The Application on Android – using it as a #digidisciple then it's worth revisiting. The Android application has a much richer look and feel, with more integration, including 'local' and 'events'. In my opinion, G+ is superior to Facebook, and implemented in a much cleaner way. What google don't have is the critical mass to pull enough people away from the Facebook network that they know and love.
G+ has the potential to be a 'Facebook Killer' but I don't believe it's a 'faith killer' as Jonathan Blundell mooted in his post Google+ – The faith killer? . As more tooling emerges, G+ becomes an increasingly viable network with which to outreach to. I don't believe it yet has the power of Facebook or Twitter, and it isn't on the top of my social media strategy, but well worth keeping an eye on.
I see this as a bit of a mixed blessing. Those of us (you included of course, Andrew) who have used Google+ since its early stages know that the way you interact with other users on that platform is different to that on Facebook and Twitter (and probably elsewhere). The culture expects this, and when you follow the culture it simply all works better for you.
We've all read countless whinges and moans by experienced Facebook users who come to Google+ and can't make it work. They get little interaction, few people join their circles and they end up leaving in a huff and declaring the whole platform a failure.
Tools like Hootsuite are great for saving the busy social media manager's time. One click shares an update with all the networks they're interested in. But what it fails to do well is encourage the same social media manager to think about the best way to engage on the various networks. It encourages a 'one size fits all' approach.
So my take on this is 'use with caution'.
Thanks Peter. Great point about the difference in culture, and the need to address each network appropriately. The same issue could be said for Facebook and Twitter. But you hit the nail on the head about a "busy social media manager's time". In utopia, there would be one network we would all be on. But in this fragmented world of choice, and multiple networks, I guess there has to be a tradeoff. In this case, for me, it's a choice between sharing updates, or not updating my G+ page at all. I'd rather get something out there, but the jury is out on how effective my generic updates will be on G+, and whether they meet with 'culture' approval.
Thanks for sharing Andrew! We're really excited to finally add G+ Pages to all our users.
Peter, you raise a great point about the pitfalls of cross-posting the same message to every network. We feel that each social network has a distinct and unique culture – social messaging needs to be tailored to fit the tone of each network… Unfortunately, many brands completely miss the boat on this.

POSITIVO ESPRESSO: Rainbow Bridge by Bicycle - to the Future Site of the 2020 Games?
Rainbow Bridge by Bicycle - to the Future Site of the 2020 Games?
I have been by bicycle to Ariake many times -- usually to a PV Expo / WSEW or other similar event, or some kind of weekend excursion. Before I always went via Tsukiji. This weekend, I went for the first time via the Rainbow Bridge. Why had I not tried it before? Well, you must WALK your bicycle across the 1.6 km length of the bridge -- about a mile. And to enforce this edict, each bike's rear wheel is to be placed on a kind of dolly. The Renovo looked like one of those aging dogs that can no longer use its hind legs but still wants to to for a walk with its owner, rear in a sling with wheels.
Still, at least there was an elevator for a record breaking (if it were, say, a Strava segment) fast 100m+ ascent to the bridge level on the Tokyo side.
And there were some impressive views of Tokyo's infrastructure. The working side of the city.
The return trip was on 2 wheels via Tsukiji!
I hope they improve this access by 2020 ... in time for the Olympics.
April 5, 2016 Update: See comments below, as well as a diagram of Tokyo 2020 venues in Odaiba/Ariake and the rest of the "Bay Zone" and recent Google Maps images below ... at least they are adding a second bridge just south of Tsukiji that will go through to the Kachidoki/Tsukishima southern edge and then on to Ariake (the latter span looks ready to open any day) ... but that is still quite far from the Odaiba venues. I wonder WHY they are adding a JR stop between Shinagawa and Tamachi in time for the games ... unless they plan ferry shuttles, or plan to open up the Rainbow Bridge to foot/bicycle traffic? Otherwise there is not really any place to go from such a train stop.
Admittedly, I have not followed this planning process closely, and my curiousity was a result of the ride this Saturday ... so let me know if I am missing something.
You can see a grey line where the bridge is being added between Hamarikyu Gardens and Tsukiji ... through to Ariake.
Not ideal for someone heading from Shinagawa (or Meguro or Setagaya or Shibuya or Azabu or Kawasaki) to Odaiba.
I wouldn't put up any hopes for regular bicycle access in the future. There sidewalk is very narrow and has quite some corners with bad visibility, plus the hand rail on the Odaiba side is too low to stop a cyclist from falling over. Unless some serious remodeling is happening, I doubt anyone would want to assume the risk of accidents there.
And what a shame they had no sense when they built it, and the many other bridges with low railings. I worked near Shinagawa, and came from the Shinkiba side, but had to go through Ginza, Tsukiji and all that nonsense.
Yes, it is an obvious failure of Japanese / Tokyo area planning from the not too distant past. I guess if they had planned and built it 10 years later they would have do it differently. Still, I am amazed that Tokyo does manage to keep gradually improving its infrastructure, adding a train line here, a new station there. And at least it looks like the access from Tsukiji / Ginza area will improve somewhat, and the Olympic Village at least will be North of the Rainbow Bridge ... though many of the venues will be off the eastern ramp of the bridge. I added one diagram I could find several places online at the bottom of the post.
As I understand it, they will be using a lot of shuttle buses for the Olympics, particularly for the venues out beyond Odaiba in Tokyo Bay.
The new Yamanote line station at Sengakuji is an absolute winner for those of us who live in ….Sengakuji.

Un mil·lenni és una unitat de temps, equivalent a un període de 1000 anys consecutius. La paraula mil·lenni deriva del llatí , mil i , curs. Normalment, la paraula s'utilitza específicament per a períodes de mil anys que comencen en un punt inicial de referència del calendari en qüestió, típicament l'any "1".

Celebracions

Hi va haver un debat públic abans de les celebracions de l'any 2000 sobre si l'inici d'aquell any s'havia d'entendre com l'inici del "nou" mil·lenni. Històricament, hi ha hagut debat al voltant del canvi de dècades, segles i mil·lennis. La qüestió sorgeix de la diferència entre la convenció d'utilitzar nombres ordinals per comptar anys i mil·lennis, com en "el tercer mil·lenni", o utilitzar una descripció vernacular, com en "els dos mil". La diferència d'opinió es redueix a si celebrar, respectivament, el final o l'inici de l'any "-000". La primera convenció és comuna als països de parla anglesa, però la segona és habitual, per exemple, a Suècia (tvåtusentalet, que es tradueix literalment com el període del dos mil).

Els qui sostenien que l'arribada del nou mil·lenni s'havia de celebrar en la transició del 2000 al 2001 (és a dir, del 31 de desembre de 2000 a l'1 de gener de 2001) van argumentar que el sistema Anno Domini de comptar els anys va començar amb l'any 1 (no hi va haver any zero) i per tant el primer mil·lenni va ser de l'any 1 fins a finals de l'any 1000, el segon mil·lenni des de l'any 1001 fins a finals de l'any 2000 i el tercer mil·lenni començant amb 2001 i acabant a finals de 3000.

La cultura popular va donar suport a la celebració de l'arribada del nou mil·lenni en la transició del 1999 al 2000 (és a dir, del 31 de desembre de 1999 a l'1 de gener de 2000), ja que el canvi de la xifra de les centenes en el nombre de l'any, és coherent amb la denominació vernacular de dècades pel seu dígit de "desenes" (per exemple, anomenant el període 1980 a 1989 com "els anys vuitanta" o "els vuitanta"). Mentre que del 1999 al 2000 canvien totes les xifres, del 2000 al 2001 només en canvia una. Això de vegades es coneix com "l'efecte hodòmetre". Afegida a la seva importància cultural, l'"any 2000" havia estat una frase popular que es referia a un futur sovint utòpic, o un any al voltant del qual es van escriure històries. També hi va haver interès dels mitjans i del públic en l'error informàtic de l'any 2000, i altres van apuntar també un interès econòmic.

Una tercera posició va ser expressada per Bill Paupe, cònsol honorari de Kiribati: "Per a mi, simplement no veig de què tracta tot el debat... no canviarà res. L'endemà tornarà a sortir el sol i llavors tot s'oblidarà." I fins i tot per als que ho van celebrar, en termes astronòmics, no hi havia res especial en aquest esdeveniment en particular.

Stephen Jay Gould, en el seu assaig Dousing Diminutive Dennis' Debate (o DDDD = 2000) (Dinosaur in a Haystack), va discutir la interpretació de la transició entre la cultura "alta" versus la cultura "pop". Gould va assenyalar que l'alta cultura, la construcció estricta havia estat el punt de vista dominant al començament del , però que el punt de vista de la cultura pop va dominar al final.

L'inici del segle XXI i el 3r mil·lenni es van celebrar a tot el món a principis de l'any 2000. Un any més tard, a principis de l'any 2001, les celebracions havien tornat en gran part al que s'acostumava a fer abans entre un any i un altre, encara que alguns van donar la benvinguda a "l'autèntic mil·lenni", inclòs el cronometrador oficial dels Estats Units, l'Observatori Naval dels Estats Units, i els països de Cuba  i Japó.

L'enfocament popular va ser tractar el final de 1999 com el final d'"un mil·lenni" i fer celebracions del mil·lenni a mitjanit entre el 31 de desembre de 1999 i l'1 de gener de 2000, amb la importància cultural i psicològica dels esdeveniments enumerats combinant-se per fer que les celebracions se celebressin un any abans de la data formal.

There have been recent reports of a disturbing social media challenge called the Momo Challenge on platforms including YouTube, Facebook, and the app WhatsApp that are meant to target children and young adults. The challenge has caused far reaching concern among schools and parents because of its troubling nature.
Attention parents, guardians and students if someone who already installed the PowerSchool App on their phone is having trouble logging in or does not see current year info, please uninstall the app first then download it again (*do not enter the district code) and follow these instructions.
The philosophy of the Elizabeth Athletic Department is that co-curricular activities serve to re-enforce the vision goals and promise of the school district.
Research and practice show that one simple activity - reading aloud - is the best way to prepare children for learning to read and to keep them reading as they learn and grow.
Reading aloud helps your children develop the language skills that they will use in school and throughout their lives.

The University of Southern Mississippi has created a unique, fully online BSN degree designed specifically for RNs and Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) students in Mississippi.
Registered Nurses (RNs) are essential for creating a healthier Mississippi and a healthier nation. For increased quality care, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) says one way to secure our state and nation's health care is by increasing the number of nurses with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
To meet this need, The University of Southern Mississippi has created a unique, fully online BSN degree designed specifically for RNs and Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) students in Mississippi. RNs can complete the program in 3 semesters.
This program offers unique opportunities to start the program throughout the year without waiting for a traditional semester to begin. "Our program offers rolling admission so students may start the program in 8-week intervals each semester," said Dr. Tom Hutchinson, director of the Office of Online Learning.
Coyne says the Southern Miss program has an unprecedented 99% retention and graduation rate and offers students a bright future.
Achieving a BSN is the sole academic portal of entry for graduate studies in nursing, creating numerous opportunities. "Many of our RN-BSN graduates have continued in graduate nursing education and are academically and financially-empowered nurses," says Dr. Kathleen Masters, Interim Dean of the College of Nursing.
Hutchinson says the program will start admitting students for the Spring 2018 semester. To learn about requirements and admission deadlines, visit https://online.usm.edu/undergrad/online-nursing-rn-to-bsn-degree/.

Q: Why does the Ubuntu Software application think I am offline when I am online for all other applications and services? I can update my system using apt and the Software Updater application on my Ubuntu 21.04 laptop. But I can not longer use the Ubuntu Software application. It keeps telling me "Go online to check for updates" and the update button top left is grayed out. I can install applications with Ubuntu Software. It's only checking for updates that doesn't work. I have checked repositories, even switched to another mirror, but Ubuntu Software still claims I am not online. No other applications have problems with internet connection either.
What can I do to convince Ubuntu Software that I am online so I can use it for update checks? It also checks for firmware updates so I would like to have it working. See screenshot for the error I am getting The Network Settings button does nothing:

There's some other oddities going on with Ubuntu Software application also. If I knew how to reset this application (which is a snap I guess?) to default I'm sure I would solve the problem above also.

The Indian conglomerate Adani Group is trying to move forward with plans to build a massive coal mine in the Galilee Basin in Queensland (Australia). This project has been the object of years-long controversy in Australia and around the world. The toxicity of Adani's proposed Carmichael coal mine – not just environmentally and socially, but reputationally as well – has made the project a base test of credibility for any global financial institution wanting to be taken seriously as a climate change risk manager.
"Insurers shun Adani's Carmichael mine, reflecting the industry's retreat from coal"
To date, over three dozen financial institutions have made commitments to not finance the project, and after spending nearly a decade in search of the funds, Adani finally announced in November 2018 that it had secured the billions of dollars necessary to build the mine. Who was the mysterious investor? Turns out it was the Adani Group itself. You can only imagine how desperate a company would need to be before committing to fund a project requiring billions of dollars off its own balance sheet after a years-long search for an investor.
But the campaign over Adani's Carmichael mine is far from over. Insurance is one area where Adani also needs financial support. In fact, insurance is a critical piece required to obtain government permits and start construction, and a growing campaign targeting insurers to accelerate the transition to a clean energy future has taken note.
In December 2018, the Global Unfriend Coal campaign and allies – representing 73 organisations and a combined membership of more than 76 million people – sent a letter calling on 35 major global insurers to not insure the proposed Carmichael coal mine and associated infrastructure. Given the number of responses that were received within two weeks of sending the letter, the insurance industry is clearly feeling the pressure to avoid highly controversial coal projects.
Politically, Adani is still yet to obtain critical approvals, while it can look forward to finding its proposed coal mine front and centre of the upcoming federal election campaign, with environmentalists calling for its approvals to be withdrawn.
Most people have a reason to be worried about the Carmichael mine. The climate concerns are obvious but the focus on the greenhouse gas emissions it would create often neglects the fact that traditional owners are still contesting Adani's Indigenous Land Use Agreement in the Federal Court. And of course, if we can expect a contraction of the global seaborne thermal traded coal market in response to efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, throwing another 27 million tpy onto the market does not exactly help other coal exporters, already faced with structural challenges.
A lot has changed since 2010, when Adani originally bought the land for the mine. Not least, the world has experienced another decade of record global temperatures, the impacts of climate change causing the insurance sector to question its own existence, and our understanding of how deeply and urgently cuts to greenhouse gas emissions need to be made all the more acute. According to both the International Energy Agency (IEA) and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the role of coal in the global energy mix must rapidly diminish to the point of virtual non-existence in 30 years' time to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change.
Since Adani's purchase, Australia has had five Prime Ministers. Climate change policy has swung from effective to useless, from market-based solutions under the Labor government to interventionist programs under the Liberal government. 51 companies have distanced themselves from the Adani project. Emissions fell, then rose again. But one thing has remained constant: Adani's proposal to build Australia's largest thermal coal mine.

Patrolling the Patent Trolls
By atesmeh | March 25, 2014
As most engineers know, the U. S. patent system is intended to protect the inventor's rights in an invention. A patent holder has exclusive rights to make, sell, or license an invention for a limited period of time (currently 20 years).
This is a compromise between two extremes: the free-for-all extreme in which no patent law exists and anyone who can figure out an invention can copy it and make it without incurring development costs, and the perpetual-monopoly extreme in which patents would last forever and nobody else could ever make the invention.
Most compromises need adjusting as circumstances change, and patent law is no exception. According to U. S. Senator John Cornyn of Texas, one of the worst current problems in patent law is the growing number of so-called "patent trolls." Who qualifies as a patent troll? It probably depends on who you ask.
If you ask someone at Apple Computer, which is named as the defendant in more cases filed by patent trolls than any other U. S. firm, Apple will probably tell you that a patent troll is a person or organization that acquires a patent solely for the purpose of suing a deep-pocketed firm such as Apple.
For that matter, any patent is nothing more than a license to sue. This is because, at least in the U. S., patent infringement is a violation of civil law, not criminal law. But with full-blown patent infringement cases complete with a jury costing upwards of $1 million, and current laws that allow the plaintiff to conceal the details of the accusations until later in the legal process, the defendant named in a patent troll's lawsuit usually has only two choices: (1) call the plaintiff's bluff and go to trial, knowing you might lose, and even if you win it will cost you a megabuck or more, or (2) settle out of court without seeing the details, and write off the six-figure settlement expense as just a cost of doing business.
Of course, patent trolls may view the situation differently. Some legitimate inventors do not have the financial backing to found a company in competition with one of the big boys, and patent litigation may be their only hope of profiting from their invention. But if an individual or group clearly has no intention of making or using the patented item, and is formed for the sole purpose of pursuing patent litigation based on dubious claims, you can be fairly sure you are dealing with a patent troll.
Sen. Cornyn's proposed changes would move the law in what he thinks is a fairer direction. For the first time, plaintiffs (i. e. patent trolls) would have to reveal their accusations up front in enough detail so that the entity being sued could make an informed decision as to the likelihood that a full-scale lawsuit would succeed. With this and other changes, the hope is that frivolous and baseless patent suits that amount to little more than legalized blackmail would disappear from court dockets, while leaving the more substantial cases in place.
Like any change in the law, the proposed legislation may have unintended consequences. But to find out what they are, we'd first have to pass it into law. Somewhat surprisingly, the ideas behind the Republican Sen. Cornyn's proposal have been endorsed by President Obama, and Cornyn cites the U. S. Senate as the main roadblock, which under the control of the Democratic Party has so far not acted on the legislation. We have noted the sclerotic state of Congress elsewhere, and will simply express here the hope that the Senate will do the right thing and pass Sen. Cornyn's legislation, if it will do as much good as he says it will.
One advantage to doing a blog for a long time (we observed our eight-year anniversary a couple of weeks ago) is that you can note long-term trends, and call for changes, and actually see them happen after a while, sometimes. Back in 2006, the first year of this blog, I discussed a patent issue not entirely unlike the current one of patent trolls: the situation of "submarine patents."
Until 2000, the content of a patent filing was a deep secret between the person who filed the patent application and the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office. The secret was revealed to the public at the end of the process, only after the patent was issued, so some inventors became skilled in intentionally delaying the granting of a patent in order to keep it secret until its contents became something valuable. Then, the patent submariner would allow the patent to issue and try to sue the pants off some large firm that was profiting from a technology at least remotely related to the now-surfaced patent.
According to Wikipedia, one of the most skilled practitioners of this art was an independent inventor by the name of Jerome H. Lemelson. Lemelson was without question a clever and legitimate inventor, who clearly began his career as a fruitful developer of original ideas which he licensed to various firms, mostly in the areas of machine vision. But as time went on, he developed habits which his critics began to describe as filing for submarine patents, although Lemelson always denied the accusations. He also became very wealthy, and after his death his estate contributed to the formation of the Lemelson Foundation with the purpose of encouraging invention and innovation by individuals.
The Foundation's National Collegiate Inventors and Innovators Alliance (NCIIA) sponsors competitions and grants to teams of college students and faculty members interested in developing inventions, and has no doubt done a lot toward encouraging such activities over the years since Lemelson's death in 1997. As Lemelson no doubt intended, any bad memories or ill will created by his patent litigation activities during his lifetime are fading in the light of the good his money is doing after his passing.
As it happened, when I wrote about submarine patents in 2006, they were already passing from the scene, because in 2000 the Patent Office began revealing the contents of most applications no longer than eighteen months after filing. So it is no longer possible to do the submarine-patent dodge today, at least in the U. S.
If he were still around, Lemelson might not like the tone of Sen. Cornyn's proposed changes to patent law. Lemelson always sided with the underdog in a patent fight, and anything that would tend to make the independent inventor's lawsuits harder to prosecute against major firms is something he would probably oppose.
But law is inherently a balancing act, and if the U. S. Senate sees fit to pass the anti-patent-troll legislation, maybe in another eight years I can look back and see how well it did what it was supposed to do. But don't hold your breath.
Sources: Sen. John Cornyn's editorial "It's time to stop patent abuse with bipartisan Senate support" appeared in the Mar. 15, 2014 edition of the Austin American-Statesman. I referred to Wikipedia articles on Jerome H. Lemelson, submarine patents, patent trolls, and the term of U. S. patents. The NCIIA website is nciia.org.

Kerala MLA Pulls out Revolver for 'Safety'
Kerala legislator P.C. George pulled out a revolver from his pocket after a dispute with an estate employees near Mundakayam in Kottayam district….reports Asian Lite News
Seven-time Kerala legislator P.C. George on Thursday pulled out his revolver after being "threatened" by a group of people.
George told the media on Thursday that the news is correct.
The police have begun a probe into the episode.
Explaining the sequence of events, George said: "Two days back, a group of people in my constituency came to me to tell their woes that they are being threatened with being thrown out from their homes by some people who work in an estate near Mundakayam.
"This morning, I reached the area of dispute. On one side were the employees of an estate who were all drunk, and on the other side were 52 families living in the place for ages who were being threatened by these employees with eviction," said George, an independent legislator who represents Poonjar assembly constituency in Kottayam district.
"When I reached there, I went around the place and saw things for myself. After which these employees started shouting slogans against me and menacingly came towards me. I pulled out my revolver for my own safety.
"This is a licensed revolver and what's the doubt, I would have opened fire had they attacked me. This revolver is meant to protect me. I later came to know that these employees also had acid bulbs with them. As a legislator, I am responsible for my electorate. They had a genuine problem and hence I came to protect them. I only did my duty," added George, who won his traditional Poonjar seat by beating the traditional rival fronts in Kerala and also the BJP.
CPI-M Kottayam district secretary V.N. Vasavan, a former legislator, termed it a shocking incident and said this had never happened in the state.
"With this incident it has now become clear that the legislator is with the encroachers and is protecting them, and he did not support the estate employees. This is a shameful incident and needs to be condemned," said Vasavan.

I had a bad run on Saturday.
There I said it! Why is this such a big deal? People have bad runs all the time myself included.
There was the super hot 6 miler I did last summer which was torture. There was the horrible 15 miler I did where I was way too cocky when I started late and didn't carb load because "it's only 2 more miles than a half" in December which was hell on earth.
There are many more but this is different because this is the first run I have ever started and not finished the distance I set out for. Like seriously. Even after the marathon when I was recovering, I said I was going to run for 1 mile and I did.
Now what caused this? Crazy shin pain. I haven't had pain like that since i started running years ago. I felt a slight ache after about 5 minutes but it went away when I stopped to walk. After about a mile, the pain was more prominent. Then after a 1.5 miles, I stopped to stretch and I couldn't move.
I knew this was it. I was about half way through 3 miles. I knew I needed to just turn around and get home as quickly as possible. I was able to insert a few run cycles of 30 seconds but most of it was just walking in the hot sun.
I was sad. I was disappointed. Of course I have skipped training runs for various reasons or shortened them the morning of but I had never left my house and not completed what I started.
I was bummed and started doubting myself especially with dopey sign up on the horizon. But I had to nip that in the bud. Me being logical and analytical, I knew I had to figure out why this was happening and what I could do to fix it in the future.
I only had cider beers the day before and wasnt hungover but I also didn't eat a large dinner before bed. So by the time I went to run, I hadn't had a real meal in 16 hours. So I was running on empty.
I have to drink water and have a snack before runs on the weekend.
I didn't roll or stretch the night before. Walking 14000 steps the day before I knew better. Especially since my legs have been sore for the past week. But I was just too lazy to do it. Bad call!
I slept enough-10 hours-but by the time I got going it was 930 which was much to late on this humid weekend (the temp went from 58 when I started to 73 in about 30 minutes). If I'm going to run on weekends, I need an early start.
I wore my normal clothes I wear for 630 runs which is 2 shirts. It was fine when I started but much to hot when I finished. I also didn't have a hat which I needed with the sun being so bright.
It was Ralph's sister and nieces's last weekend in LA so we had spent tues night, thurs night and Saturday afternoon and evening with them and not to mention it was Easter! Also we hung out with Damian on Friday and I had to go to brand new tires as well. I was exhausted and overbooked and stressed from my regular errands of the weekend and I was very discombobulated. I had already postponed my run once the day before so I felt pressure to get it in on Sunday.
So In analyzing all of this walking home, I learned I HAVE to monitor all of these things going into another hot summer in Pasadena. Mornings are wonderful but late mornings are HOT!
However it's not all sad! No more pity party for me! I got home and atr and rolled and stretched and felt much better.
This story does have a silver lining though. I was able to redeem myself. After Easter brunch with my boyfriends family and catching up on chores and emails I felt ready to run again.
Something else new for me: I've never done two a days before.
So my boyfriend, who said he would run with me in the morning but told me he was too tired, and I went to the rosé bowl to run around 7 PM. I had rolled for about 15 minutes earlier in the day and guess what?
Shin pain was gone! We did a lap so even though I was sad I didn't do 4 miles initially, I ended up doing 5.5 miles and I was happy with that! It's so true not everything will always go your way but it will be for the best.
So what I did learn?
1. I need to roll and stretch every day. I have to make this a habit now so it will be automatic when training picks back up in June.
Water, water, water and good clean food will do my body good.
Bye bye winter-hello summer! It will be tank tops and shorts and hats and glasses and probably bring some water too! I have to be very aware of what the weather is like.
I need to stick to my running plan and make sure I can fit my miles in! It's just hard now because I'm in "maintenance mood" with no race on the horizon until Dumbo.
I have so much motivation and energy to run now-which is great and new to me-but I need to slow down. I'm worried my random shin pain and general leg tightness could develop into shin splints and/or stress fractures. I have to make sure to listen to my body and not do too much, too fast.
Have you ever had a bad run? What did you learn from it?
I can completely commiserate with you on a LOT of these points. I think the main thing is you can identify what needs to be fixed and then you go and fix them! Ironic I just wrote about bad runs today too. Maybe you'll find some useful hints, including some "margarita recovery" tips! Lol!
Yeah I totally agree. It was such a bummer at the time! But I will definitely check out your post-great minds think alike!-especially for margarita tips!
Don't be too hard on yourself. We all have bad runs at some point. My running partner just had a bad run today, she tripped and fell. Things will get better!
Great post! I had a horrible run like that a little while ago. So many factors played in to it. My bff told me to take the rest day i had coming up, and that it was my body just getting stronger. Do you know the following day I had a 5K and even though it was cold and windy, I PR'd it and it was my best race yet! So here is to the lessons learned and your body getting stronger!!
Thanks! It just really freaked me out at the time but I feel much better now!
So true! After that bad run on Sunday I PRed my 5k time on Tuesday by 15 seconds! So I definitely think your BFF is on to something!

The bad news is global warming melted the ice caps and bottoms and flooded the entire Earth as if some sort of sci-fi take on Noah's Ark, which, ironically, is also sci-fi. The good news is sharks have proliferated (made photocopies of each other) and have taken over the new real estate en masse.
Such is the premise for Planet of the Sharks (2016), whose plot on paper looks interesting the way an uneaten sandwich made with day old bread looks tasty. But the lower-grade special effects, painfully bad characters (some look like the B-team from Road Warrior/1981), and a LOL windsurfing scene renders the entire thing a wet messy mess.
Like Waterworld (1995), people now live on floating "cities", which look more like discount boat docks. One appropriately named city called Junk is under attack from hundreds of hungry sharks, led by an alpha Great White that commands his army with mutated thinking abilities. Oh yeah, his snout freckles glow, too, which logically communicates with his mates. Think of it as a face walkie-talkie. Prior to the attack, which had sharks torpedoing out of the water to swallow anyone wearing Dockers™ (heh), Junk City had 72 citizens. Final head count: one.
With scientists on a nearby flotilla working to launch a rocket into the upper atmosphere to reset the weather, dry up the water, and go back to swimming at the YMCA. With all the shark attacks, this plan is falling apart faster than their docks. After the population is being reduced by the minute, it's decided to drop a trigger over an undersea volcano that will explode right when the sharks swim over it. Yep, totally plausible.
The problem is, a shark ate the personal mini-copter carrying the Whiffle Ball™ device. So a female scientist with self-contained shirt pontoons, windsurfs out into the ocean to snag the device, jumping over sharks as she zooms around the waves. Barely avoiding becoming seafood, she deploys said Whiffle Ball™, which triggers the volcano, which kills a pile of shark and causes a tsunami the size of a tidal wave.
Alfie the alpha shark ain't having none of this and makes trouble bubbles. It's determined that this particular mutated shark emits a powerful electrical charge, not unlike a cordless shaver. The remaining scientists figure out how to stick cattle prods into its freckled face, thereby jump-starting the rocket, which is (barely) launched. Once the payload goes off, the sun comes out, the seas begin to dry up, and cities, which have been underwater for years, emerge all sparkly and clean as if just having gone through a car wash. (Why they couldn't have a giant starfish stuck to the Empire State Building left me visibly shocked.)
No nudity, digital blood, some stock swearing in wincing fake accents, a far-reaching premise and sharks so dumbly designed, they'll make your freckles start glowing. So yeah, something to not do for 83 minutes.

There's a reason they waited 15 years to do another Gamera movie after 1980's Gamera: Super Monster. It took that long for the worst Gamera movie ever made to be purged from our memory banks. But the thing is, I DON'T FORGET. At least when it comes to giant monster movies. So nice try, Japan. It'll be a cold day in Kitakyushu before you can put one over on me.
Gamera: Super Monster isn't really a stand alone movie, but rather a "greatest hits" muddled mess that relied on stock battle footage from all the other Gamera films to try and put one over on me. Zanon, an evil alien (aren't they all?) arrives in our atmospheric zip code in a spaceship that looks suspiciously like the Imperial I-class Destroyer from Star Wars (1977). You hear his boom-y voice as he commands a Japanese (?) chick alien enlistee to enslave all of humanity. I think not; first they gotta get by Gamera, the giant turtle with reverse walrus tusks and fire that shoots out of every orifice.
Where this thing rolls over on its back and can't get up is when the three Superwomen, also from space (but working in disguise at pet shops and driving around in a Scooby Doo™ type mystery van), do some choreographed kung-fu cheerleader moves and suddenly appear in costume to put a screeching halt to this enslavement hoo-haw.
One of the Superwomen befriends a small boy with really f'd up teeth (think Timmy from South Park) who has a psychic connection to Gamera, whom the overdubbed voices think is pronounced "guh-MARE-uh" instead of something that sounds like "camera." She gives him an enslaved turtle from the pet store, not knowing little bugger is you-know-who.
Too much plot. Time to cram in stock footage of Gamera smack-smacking all his other foes: Gyaos (vampire pterodactyl with an anvil shaped head – an ongoing pain in Gamera's protective shell), Jiger (fat ass dinosaur), Guiron (space reptile with a head shaped like a chef's knife), Viras (giant space squid, who, when cooked properly, could be served with rice balls and any variety of noodles), Zigra (a flying shark with razor sharp dorsal fins designed to cut the gut of enemies and then feast on their guts), and Barugon, the lizard with the longest tongue ever. And he can fart rainbows. Not kidding, he really does.)
The Spacewomen don't do much more than change their clothes every five minutes and hang around while the evil space woman tries to get the other monsters to make turtle soup out of Gamera so Zanon can assume the position. Then there's the painfully prolonged scene where she and the f'd up tooth boy transport to the beach to watch the monsters piledrive each other (cut to the stock footage), with no one else in the city even noticing the kaiju are even there.
The previous seven Gamera movies – known as the Shōwa series – are camp classics, mostly made for kids, but highly entertaining to adults when augmented by some Sapporo tall boys. Note: There was supposed to be Gamera vs. Garasharp in 1972, but the movie studio went bankrupt and they sold everything to Tokuma Shoten, who promptly lifted his kimono and squeezed out the mega-turd Gamera: Super Monster. Okay, uncalled for stereotyping; He probably wore Dockers™.)
Now that I think about it, they missed the boat here; a sure fire hit would've been to make a movie called Gamera vs. Mega-Turd. Then, as a sequel, they could've followed up with Gamera vs. Mecha-Turd. I have a script ready if Japan is interested in reclaiming their pop film culture heritage.
Final note: If Gamera: Super Monster didn't make you give up on giant turtles altogether, I beseech you to check out the three in the Heisei series: Gamera: Guardian of the Universe (1995), Gamera 2: Advent of Legion (1996 – arguably one of the best giant monster movies ever made) and Gamera 3: Awakening of Irys (1999). What followed is a prequel of sorts for the Millennium series called Gamera the Brave (2006). Extraordinarily dumb, at least Gamera, as a teenager, fights Zedus, a fairly gnarly kaiju who beats the sea water out of Gamera to the point you want the ref to stop the match. I'm big into Gamera (love you, mean it), but I got a lot of satisfaction watching the beatdown. I'm a sick dude.

Bored teenagers read a book that describes ten ways to see ghosts.
One of the methods is to get a cornea transplant. Probably gonna have to pass on that one. Another is to set out empty rice bowls and start tapping 'em with chopsticks, the theory being that the sound will attract hungry ghosts. (Don't know why they're famished – being dead must surely kill your appetite.) This method proved to be a nice underwear-stainer for most of 'em. Don't stop now – there's eight more ways to void the warranty of your Dockers™.
Another method – rubbing cemetery dirt on your eyes – yields similar results, except this far into the book, the teens now find themselves cursed. I feel much happiness for them.
One kid is taken by the ghosts. The only way to rescue him is to go into the Land of the Dead and hand out flyers. There is a catch – once there you can't be dicking around as time is not your ally in this realm. Stay too long and you kiss your Dockers™ goodbye. Guess what happens? I did and yawned so hard I cracked my jaw.
Relentlessly typical Asian ghosts with pale faces and long, stringy black hair that all look the same. They must belong to a club or something. The Eye 3 (2005) released logically as The Eye 10 in Japan/Thailand/over there, is so boring and fright-less, eye can't recommend it. You'll get more satisfaction out of rubbing your own eyes with grave dirt. It's actually kinda fun in a weird sort of way.


The Friends of Gledhow Valley Woods have been campaigning against Yorkshire Water for a number of years regarding water pollution in Gledhow Beck and Gledhow Lake.
Pollution comes from three Combined Sewer Overflows (CSOs) which allow untreated sewage to flow into the beck during periods of heavy rain. This sewage includes "floating debris" such as toilet paper, used condoms, and sanitary towels, and these items can frequently be seen hanging from the CSO grills or collecting in the beck and lake.
The campaign has made some progress, and work was carried out to update the CSOs by mid April 2003. Four existing CSO settling tanks (on Gledhow Valley Rd, Harrogate Rd, Devonshire Cres, and Princes Ave) were enlarged to capacities of 60 cubic metres each, and had screens added to filter out much of the floating debris. However, this work is classed as "aesthetic only" since sewage will still flow into the beck and lake.
More recently the woods have been suffering the effects of a blocked sewer leaking raw effluence straight down the side of the valley.
The Friends tried for months to persuade Yorkshire Water, Leeds City Council or the Environment Agency to take responsibility for the sewer and to clean things up, but it was an uphill struggle. The strength of local campaigning, plus publicity on Radio Leeds (see the Press Clippings & Media Publicity section for transcripts and downloadable versions of the interviews) finally persuaded Leeds Environmental Health to take action and clear out the sewer, but it is still not clear what will happen if the situation recurs in the future.
If you have any questions or comments related to water pollution issues surrounding Gledhow Beck, Gledhow Lake or the Woods in general, please contact us and let us know.

We are excited to announce that the 2019 CSA farm share signup is now open! Each year we try to adjust the CSA program, growing more or less of certain crops, streamlining our process, and increasing our neighbors' access to healthy food. After listening to the feedback we received this year we are making small tweaks to the amount of zucchini and varieties of broccoli we grow. We are also excited about a much larger change in the CSA design with the addition of a sliding scale model for CSA payments.
This extends the Pay-As-You-Can model we have used for renting out the Farmhouse and at our community dinners. This is a big change to our CSA payment structure, so we wanted to take a moment to detail why we're making this change and how it works.
Why A Sliding Scale Model?
We believe in a story about a boy with a basket of food in the midst of a horde of hungry people. He had the courage to share the little he had to help meet the needs around him. What resulted from this courageous act was a miracle… in the end the crowd had more than enough to go around.
We believe in this story not just because we've read it, but because we've lived it.
5 Loaves Farm started in 2012 farming 3 barren city lots on the west side of Buffalo, our farm now covers over 15 lots. In 2013 we started our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program to feed 4 families in the community, this year we'll have over 30 enrolled. We've had others come forward to give us trucks and tractors, hoophouses and farmhouses, sagely advice and helping hands, all multiplied to meet the needs of people hungry for sustainably produced healthy foods.
We believe that communities have the resources they need to be healthy and thrive, but often because of fear and/or shame individuals keep these resources hidden away. When we have the courage to live generous lives and share our resources (time, effort, skills, wisdom, money) with those around us that need them, we find they give us so much back in return… we find that there's more than enough to go around!
With our pay-as-you-can sliding scale plan for our CSA program you get to participate in this gracious economy of generosity.
Those who may have more mouths to feed, or less wage earners in the family, that are carrying burdens of debt, medical bills, or health concerns; our new immigrant neighbors, or senior citizen neighbors, might in this season of life consider paying on the lower end of the sliding scale.
Those who have had the opportunity to earn more, own more, invest more, could consider giving more to help cover costs for other neighbors.
In giving more to the 5 Loaves Farm CSA program you not only increase our ability to provide more food to more people who need access to it, you also help us provide jobs and job training for neighborhood youth, along with beautifying and inspiring hope in our neighborhood. Giving more can also mean giving us your time and effort, so no matter where you fall on the sliding scale we value what you have to give us. Thank you for choosing to invest in the work of 5 Loaves Farm.
You pick your price. Choose to pay what you can considering what's been said, your current situation, and how you feel called to respond.
If none of these options are affordable for you, contact us at to find out what scholarships are available.
Thanks for your interest, and the page just went live this afternoon!
We added a link to the CSA page in the blog post, or you can go to the CSA Program tab at the top of the page.


I describe research in my lab as "conservation ecology", and my aim is that our efforts make contributions to both the conservation of the world's imperiled bat species (primarily in SE Asia) and the advancement of ecological knowledge. So although most of our research has conservation applications, it is rooted in fundamental ecological and evolutionary principles.
My work has focused primarily on determining the extent of spatio-temporal variability in bat assemblage composition and structure in primary forest in Peninsular Malaysia, to provide a baseline for interpreting the responses of bat assemblages to anthropogenic habitat disturbance. My students' research centers primarily on understanding the ecological mechanisms behind the disturbance responses.Here is a taste of what they have been getting up to….

Carleton responds to Betsy DeVos' Title IX changes
By Meredith Oldham on October 18, 2019
In November 2017, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced proposed changes to Title IX policies enacted under the Obama administration, which are expected to be approved by the current administration sometime this fall.
Proposed changes include requiring victims of sexual assault to provide a live cross-examination by an advisor, as well as a higher evidentiary standard requirement.
Laura Riehle-Merrill, Carleton's Title IX Coordinator, spoke with the Carletonian about the proposed changes and how they could affect Carleton students.
"Once the final regulations are announced, like all institutions of higher education which receive federal aid, Carleton will need to update our policy and process to comply with these guidelines—this process will involve our entire campus community," said Riehle-Merrill.
The new rules were initially slated to be set in place after "several months" of a public comment period, which was later pushed back. The college submitted public comments in the form of a letter in January of this year. However, it remains unclear as to when the Department of Education's proposed changes will be put in place.
A number of victim advocacy groups, such as End Rape on Campus, Know Your IX and the National Women's Law Center, condemned the proposed regulations and launched a campaign in response to the proposals under the hashtag #KnowYourIX.
"Like much of the higher education community, Carleton has concerns about specific components which are proposed in the new regulations," said Riehle-Merrill.
One of the Obama administration's more controversial guidelines was to use a lower standard of evidence (often referred to as "preponderence of evidence") for sexual assault cases. The Department of Education under the new administration denounced this guideline as giving preferential treatment to the victim over the accused.
"We are currently waiting to see what the final regulations will be. Under the proposed new regulations, colleges will be required to use the higher standard of 'clear and convincing evidence' if they use such a standard in making any other disciplinary decisions relating to students, staff, or faculty," said Riehle-Merrill. "Under our current 'preponderance of evidence' standard the College looks to whether it is more likely than not that the accused student committed the alleged misconduct. This evidentiary standard is only utilized in our formal Title IX complaint process."
In January 2019, the College released its official statement signed by President Steven Poskanzer in the form of a letter "to offer comments on the Department of Education's proposed regulations implementing Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972," according to the letter's introduction.
In the statement, the college listed three "egregious problems" in DeVos' proposed Title IX changes.
The first of these problems is with Proposed Regulation 106.45 (b)(3)(vii): requiring institutions to provide a live disciplinary hearing at which a cross-examination must be conducted by an advisor of choice, which the college's statement calls "fundamentally ill-conceived and will directly interfere with the primarily educational purpose of college discipline."
The letter goes on to point out that the cross-examination requirement will likely "generate problems of equity in representation as respondents will be much more likely than complainants to engage sophisticated criminal defense lawyers to protect their interests."
The second issue the statement addressed is with Proposed Regulation 106.45 (b)(4)(i): the requirement of the institution to apply the same standard of evidence for complaints filed by students as it would for staff and faculty.
Carleton's official statement said, "A rigid insistence on the same standard in all contexts would place large numbers of colleges and universities in an untenable position of having to choose between standards that have worked well for different constituencies or forcing the wrong standard on other important groups."
The final problem the College listed is with Proposed Regulation 106.45 (b)(4)(i) which would instruct institutions to apply the "clear and convincing" (higher standard of proof) requirement for sexual misconduct cases but apply the "preponderance of the evidence" (lower standard of proof) requirement for non-sexual related misconduct. This means, sexual assault cases will require a higher evidentiary standard than other serious disciplinary cases.
In response to this proposal, the college stated, "This would permit institutions to unwisely and unfairly subject the behavior of a complainant in a sexual misconduct case to a higher level of scrutiny than a similarly-situated complainant in an equally serious nonsexual disciplinary matter."
Previously, the Obama-era regulations had demanded that institutions use the lowest standard of proof ("preponderance of the evidence") in sexual assault cases, citing difficulty in proving evidence in sexual assault cases compared to other disciplinary cases.
However, Carleton hopes to provide continued support to students going through the formal Title IX process, despite the potential new regulations. Riehle-Merrill said, "While we hope several of these proposed guidelines do not make it into the final guidelines, we are confident that we will be able to continue to offer all members of our campus community options and support and we will work to ensure that our entire community is informed."

(PresidentialWire.com)- It was clear from the speeches given that the goal of turning the anniversary of January 6 into a day-long campaign rally was to give the Democrats the opportunity to both portray their political opponents as "insurrectionists" and to justify Congress nullifying state election laws.
President Biden used his address to attack President Trump and anyone who dares to question the results of the 2020 election and attack Republicans as opposing "democracy."
Vice President Kamala Harris didn't beat around the bush. In her brief speech, Harris concluded that the 3-hour riot on January 6 proves the need for Congress to pass their ridiculous "voting rights" legislation.
"Let's be clear," Kamala concluded. "We must pass the voting rights bills that are now before the Senate."
Subtlety was never Kamala Harris' strong suit.
But this was the gist of last Thursday's campaign event. To prevent "domestic terrorists" from launching an "Insurrection" to "overthrow our democracy," the Federal government must seize the constitutional authority granted to each state and dictate election laws from Washington. And anyone who dares to question the legitimacy of an election is a "threat to democracy."
The other argument Democrats are trying to make by focusing exclusively on January 6 is that Republican lawmakers were "complicit" in the "insurrection" by objecting to states' electors.
This is why the anniversary of January 6 wasn't a "commemoration," so much as it was a Democrat campaign event. They hope to win in the Midterms by portraying their political opposition as a "threat to democracy."
In fact, whenever they can use January 6 for their political ends, they will.
They'll claim that we must end the filibuster to protect "our democracy" from those who want to "undermine" it.
It isn't a coincidence that the January 6 select committee is planning to launch its public hearings in the heat of the Midterm primary season.
They will try to exploit a 3-hour riot in the same way they exploited the COVID pandemic in 2020.
It is entirely political, deeply cynical, and thoroughly dishonest.
But Americans don't care about a 3-hour riot from over a year ago. They have more pressing problems like rising consumer prices, persistent inflation, and the bungling COVID response.
And while the histrionics will play well among the American corporate news media, out here in the real world, voters won't be so easily misled.

Letters to the editor Nov. 3, 2018
Letters to the editors: Three letter writers weigh in, in defence of the Saskatoon Police Service's viral lip sync video (including Chief Troy Cooper)
Reader Letters
Re: Lip sync video criticism
In a letter to the editor in the Oct. 20 StarPhoenix, we were criticized for our production of a lip sync video, saying it wasn't the best use of time. Many of the people involved volunteered their lunch breaks, days off and even their summer holidays to participate in this. It was a phenomenal show of camaraderie not only within our police service, but as we saw from the international reaction, a source of pride for our entire city as well. Every community struggles with crime, and Saskatoon is no exception but we need the support of our community to effectively do our jobs, and our lip sync video helped build on that.
Chief Troy Cooper, Saskatoon Police Service
Less lip syncing
A letter to the editor in the Oct. 20 StarPhoenix suggested that although the Saskatoon Police lip sync video was cute, they need to be out catching bad guys. Oh, please. Let's lighten up a bit. There is so much hatred and violence in the world these days and our police service sees the very worst of all of us on a daily basis — let them have a little fun. It's good PR in my opinion. And the statement about "boys" is sexist anyway — there were women in that video in case you didn't notice. I'm happy to know that our police service has a heart and I support them in all their endeavours.
Jan Niekamp
More police work, less lip syncing
This is in response to the Oct. 20, 2018 commentary by Tim Krause in regard to a video that members of the Saskatoon Police Service produced and posted on social media. Mr. Kraus is of the opinion that the video does not make good use of police resources and members of the police service would be well advised to concentrate their efforts on decreasing the high crime rate in Saskatoon.
I understand that the video was created by members of the police service on their own time and clearly involved a good deal of effort on their part. Personally, I thought the video was in good taste and received positive comments from others who also viewed it. From my perspective, the video portrays the human and personal side of police officers in general. It's refreshing to see such enthusiasm from our police officers, and they should be commended for their actions as opposed to undue criticism. This initiative serves as an inspiration for all members of the police service, and good for the City of Saskatoon. In my opinion, the image of the Saskatoon Police Service has been improved by the outstanding work displayed by these men and women.

Pa amb tomàquet [] (katalanisch für: 'Brot mit Tomate') ist ein typisches Gericht der katalanischen Küche. Es wird zum Frühstück, als Vorspeise oder einfach zwischendurch gereicht. Früher galt es als Arme-Leute-Essen.

Geröstetes Bauernbrot wird zunächst mit Knoblauch abgerieben, mit einer halbierten Tomate eingerieben, dann mit Olivenöl beträufelt. Es gibt viele Varianten wie Pa amb oli ('Brot mit Öl'), auch mit Schweinelende oder mit Käse und Schinken.
