 * A {@code ThreadGroup} is a means of organizing {@link Thread}s into a

 * {@code Thread}s and zero or more other {@code ThreadGroup}s. Each {@code
 * Thread} and each {@code ThreadGroup} (except the root group) has a unique
 * parent {@code ThreadGroup}. The result is a tree whose inner nodes are
 * {@code ThreadGroup}s and whose leaf nodes are {@code Threads}. The unique
 * root of the tree is a {@code ThreadGroup} that is created at VM startup and
 * has the name "system". The benefit of using {@code ThreadGroup}s, in addition
 * to the mere housekeeping aspect, is that all {@code Thread}s in a {@code
 * ThreadGroup} can be manipulated together, that is, the {@code ThreadGroup}
 * has methods that delegate to all its all {@code Thread}s.

If you know me, you know I love food. Like L.O.V.E food. So what better post to do than a "what I typically eat in a day" to show you the kind of food I feed my body!
Now, I'm not saying that I eat these exact things every single day, nor am I saying I eat healthy and clean all day everyday (that's definitely not the case), but this is some of the things I ate over the course of a week that I decided to share with you.
So...Let's get on to the food shall we?
One of the best things about living in France? The pastries.
Every Sunday morning, a little old man comes to our town to sell pastries he has made, and I 'aint missing the chance to scoff a pain-au-raisin! Since this one is covered in loads of sugar granules, I decided to add some strawberries to the side to make it seem somewhat more healthy.
If you haven't noticed, I'm trying to eat clean (emphasis on the word "trying") so I can be happier in my own skin and basically have a "new me" for when I go to university in September (cringe, I know). Also if you haven't noticed, I love strawberries. So this quick little snack of kiwis and strawberries is absolutely perfect to give me a little energy boost!
I can never stick to a strict diet as I need my fatty fix, and my family eat out a fair bit. We have this cute little tapas bar down the road from our house, so we've been eating out and getting takeouts from there A LOT in the past month.
What is your typical meal plan for the day?
I know right! I love pastries!

Supreme Court Could Crush Warren's /
Supreme Court Could Crush Warren's Signature Agency
Holland McKinnie Published: January 2, 2023
The Supreme Court could be poised to crush a signature piece of legislation crafted by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) that hampers the American economy in multiple perverse ways. As a result, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) could be set aside in its entirety by a conservative Supreme Court.
Warren was the primary architect of the CFPB, which Congress established during the Obama administration in the wake of the 2008 Financial Crisis. The agency came as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
The Biden administration, confronted with a federal appeals court ruling that found the CFPB's funding method violates the Constitution, has asked the Supreme Court to hear an appeal and make a decision by this spring. https://t.co/5joTdTN7QH
— The Washington Times (@WashTimes) December 29, 2022
The CFPB first faced a direct challenge in the Supreme Court in the 2020 case Seila Law v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The justices ruled in that case 5-4 that Congress violated the separation of powers doctrine when it placed the CFPB under the control of a single unelected administrative director removable by the president only for good cause shown.
The court declined at that time to invalidate the entire CFPB because of what it described as a structural flaw.
The new case has been brought seeking a revision of that holding, finding the CFPB unconstitutional because of its funding mechanism.
According to the act's drafters, the CFPB was designed to consolidate the work of several agencies charged with enforcing federal consumer protection laws and regulating predatory business practices.
In addition to attempting to shield the director of the CFPB from presidential oversight, Congress also placed the agency's funding under the control of the Federal Reserve central bank. The Fed is empowered to grant an annual budget request from the CFPB director of up to 12% of the Fed's total operating revenues.
The law also protects the CFPB from oversight functions by the House and Senate Appropriations Committees.
After the CFPB announced a new rule cracking down on payday lenders, two financial associations sued the agency in federal court, alleging it is unconstitutionally funded.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard the case and agreed that the CFPB is unconstitutional. That court ruled that Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution requires congressional "Appropriations" for any "Money drawn from the Treasury."
Joe Biden's Department of Justice (DOJ) filed an application with the Supreme Court in November, asking it to reverse the appeals court and reinstate the CFPB.
Since its creation, the CFPB has issued more than 3.3 million consumer complaints to American companies.

Michelle Keegan 'rumbled' as The Masked Singer UK's Firework by celebrity friend
I'm A Celebrity's Sam Quek has seemingly 'rumbled' her pal Michelle Keegan as Firework in a Twitter post
The former English hockey star, 33, took to Twitter to shoot down rumours that she was the colourful character on ITV's wackiest TV programme – The Masked Singer UK.
After last Saturday's performance, Sam had found herself in the firing line of suspicion with many viewers speculating that the sportswoman had been hiding behind the mask of Firework.
She explained to her loyal legion of followers that she was "far too pregnant" to be on the show and shared a throwback snap of herself with Michelle Keegan.
Along with the pic, Sam penned: "Looking at my tweets from last night, I can confirm that I am NOT the #Firework on the #MaskedSinger.
"Not only am I far too pregnant for that at the moment, but I can't sing AT ALL! Face with tears of joy
"I have a sneaky suspicion who Firework is though, (but it's only a suspicion!)…"
Sam didn't need to jot down who she'd had in the frame as the picture with Michelle and herself spoke for it's self.
However, many of the TV personalities fans were not convinced by Sam's excuse of being pregnant.
One person chirped back in response: Being pregnant isn't an excuse to not do #TheMaskedSinger lol, @JossStone won the last series & I think she was about 6 or 7 months pregnant at the time.
"I'm also sure you'd smash it, not being able to sing shouldn't stop you either, just be entertaining is enough."
Another suspecting online user added: "But you would say that if you WERE the masked singer, right?"
While other's "complete agreed" that the Our Girl actress would be unveiled in the weeks ahead.
There has been a lot of talk on social media about the former Coronation Street star being Firework – and so far the brunette bombshell has remained a dignified silence on the matter.
This year there has been much more confusion about the celebrities lurking behind each character.

Judge Mo Gilligan explained in an interview prior to the show's launch that this was due to contestants going the extra mile to disguise their voices.
He said: "I think what it is now is that people have seen the show so they're trying to change the way they speak, they might put an accent on to throw us off.
"They're even changing the way they sing now.
"People are really upping their game to not be sussed out so soon."

    Installation
    Tutorial
    Code


To: "Todd Rogers, City Council" , , "Joe Esquivel, City Council" , , "Larry Van Nostran, city council" , , "Steve Croft, city council" , , "Diane DuBois, City Council" , "Howard Chambers, City Mgr" , "Jack Gonsalves Dir. Comm. Dev." , "Lakewood Service Requests"
I wanted to summarize my thoughts in a letter rather than taking up more time in the 8/28/07 city hearings. First after volunteering I was rather disheartened by the fact that I was not asked to participate on the 10 member focus group which claimed to be balanced. It sure appears that the RV owners carried the day there as anticipated. Again I will reassert from my May 2007 letter that it does appear that the Council is capitulating on the reform of the code as to the private property parking issues, which LAAG feels will likely result in further relaxations of the existing code not recommended by the Planning Commission and which will have the effect of nullifying the November 2006 election results.
For brevity I am only going to address the "site plan" number 4 schematics as all the properties in my area have detached rear two car garages. I am also not going to repeat all the information in our May 2007 letter. Unfortunately most the items I mentioned in that letter were not addressed and will likely come to pass as issues facing a future council.
1. For the most part, you are throwing years of established code precedent out the window by allowing garages to be totally blocked for months if not years on end by huge trailers and motor homes (RV's). Now the car(s) that could have gone in the garage will have to be parked in front of my house as most of my neighbors have too many vehicles. The city needs to address this issue. How is that fair that your neighbor uses up all his parking with an RV then takes up your street parking?
2. There is no rational basis for allowing RV's to creep beyond the front of the house. My garage to the front of my house is 51 feet. I don't know of any RV's or trailers longer than 50 feet. Allowing the RV to come within 16' of the sidewalk is silly and again has no rational basis. You are only creating another 5 feet of storage and ruining the look of the houses as you look down the street. You are also creating sight restrictions when backing out. If children are playing on an adjoining lawn you will not be able to see them until its too late. The 5 foot vision triangle should run from the front of the house as well. If the RV's are even with the houses this blight is reduced. The rule should be that the RV cannot protrude beyond the house.
3. The blight effect would be further reduced by requiring at least a 6 foot fence to run across the entire driveway even with the front of the house. If you make the RV jut out beyond the house the fence becomes a bigger problem. The fence is needed to keep animals and small children out from the underside and backside of the motor home and to block the view of all clutter usually associated with motor homes and their owners who are usually working on them. Also most people that own motor homes think theirs looks great. Most don't. I think a painted solid fence is better to look at especially with most run down RV's in Lakewood. It would make the sore thumb blend in better. I also see no rational basis for making a distinction on requiring a corner lot to be fenced. Looking at the front of an RV is just as bad as the side. Also just because more people see it from the street on a corner lot makes my point. If its ugly on the corner its still ugly right in front on my house, on a corner or not. Also why a distinction between campers and RV's. This is nonsense hair splitting to appease some silent minority.
4. Fire and access issues. How you can park a 12' high 40 foot long motor home between two homes with barely a few feet either side of it and not think that it is going to hinder firefighters access to either property is ludicrous. In addition most of these RVs have huge fuel tanks and propane tanks which could explode in a fire. Also the more fact that you are wedging this huge plastic coated structure in between two homes is increasing the chance that one house fire will also ignite the adjoining house. I would take that lawsuit against the city especially in light of the fact that it is such an obvious problem. Apparently the firefighters union nixed the Edison right of way RV parking plans with a bogus fire code "revision" but have green lighted (or not addressed) this private property issue. Politics and fire. What a mixture.
5. CEQA The "aesthetics" part of CEQA is a big issue here. I think if this ordinance gets too liberal it is going to be subject to a CEQA challenge. So the existing negative EIR could be called into question as it was done for the changes the Planning Commission envisioned which I don't see being adopted without significant relaxations affecting aesthetics. It appears here that the Planning Commission recommendations were essentially trashed on key provisions the pro RV lobby wanted and that what ever input the "anti-RV" contingent of 5 citizens, it could not have had much to do with improving aesthetics.
This committee is nothing but a capitulation to the RV owners and has thrown aesthetics out the window. The city is on its way to becoming Cudahy or some other city with low property values. This is how it starts. The November 2006 election results are hereby officially nullified. The voters were successful in moving the blight 20 feet.
The city also has no provisions for the total number of RV's or vehicles that can be stored on or of the property, their degree of repair or tattered appearance or any method for homeowners to challenge the blight created by a neighbor. Given the enforcement efforts to fix blighted homes so far I see things getting much worse under the "new" "enlightened" code.

Horses for Sources and the Shared Services & Outsourcing Network (SSON) Create Alliance to Provide Unique Analyst Insight and C-suite Forums for Senior Operations Executives
March 09, 2010 | Phil Fersht
Horses for Sources to provide research for SSON's buyer community
So you may have noticed a few changes around here over the past week... not only did we retire those rather plump horses on the old site, but we went out and turned ourselves into a fully-fledged research analyst firm.
We'll be introducing you to several of this motley crew who are feverishly working on their new research schedules over the coming days and weeks, but we did want to talk some more about why we're doing this and why we believe we're significantly different.
Essentially, we are providing the customer of outsourcing services with rapid, engaging, no-holds-barred insight into what BPO and global sourcing is all about, how they need to think about governing it, and how they should go about selecting service partners that can actually help them do more than merely cut costs doing operational work. What's more, we're using our social networking capability to keep us close to the industry and engage you all so quickly and readily.
For example, our little piece on the NorthgateArinso/ConvergysHRO deal received 14,000 web-visits in the space of 24 hours. That was caused either by NorthgateArinso's CEO Mark Ettling repeatedly admiring his handsome features, or it may have simply been the fact that we have found unique ways to engage our industry, via our Digest, via our LinkedIn Group, via our Subscribers and via RSS feeds.
Anyhow, as part of our goal to reach the executives who are grappling with the whole outsourcing quagmire, we are delighted to announce that we a formerly creating an alliance with our long-standing friends at the Shared Services and Outsourcing Network (SSON). Not only have we run a terrific survey with the assistance of their network, but we've also streamed a global live panel over the blog and also conducted some of our discreet buyers' groups in secret rooms at their venues. Here's the full announcement which is going over the wires tomorrow:
March 9th 2010. London, New York

Q: CSS: a piece of background in different color? I'm trying to make a crossbrowser implementation of background in 2 parts each of different color.
Like this: http://imgur.com/l6ajF2q
For this I've wrote following code (fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/yrQAx/):
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>test</title>

Lorem ipsum

        Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum lacinia, nibh nec cursus ultricies, est ligula tempus lectus, eget eleifend orci ipsum vitae velit. Proin mollis pharetra fermentum. Nullam sed semper nulla. Donec fermentum faucibus faucibus. Aenean rhoncus, mi viverra ultrices tincidunt, erat nibh auctor nisi, nec fermentum turpis orci euismod ligula. Sed eu tincidunt nunc, non molestie nisi. Nunc consequat, est in euismod consequat, libero justo laoreet lectus, id ornare ante tortor non magna. Fusce porta fringilla elementum. Maecenas pharetra nunc orci, ut facilisis ipsum iaculis ultrices. Vestibulum non odio eget enim pulvinar facilisis a ac nunc. Vestibulum sodales augue et lorem pulvinar bibendum id id turpis.

        Vestibulum blandit cursus imperdiet. Vestibulum venenatis massa diam, auctor pretium nisl rhoncus sit amet. Sed interdum metus tellus, id faucibus risus rhoncus vel. Duis tincidunt est quis justo suscipit pulvinar. Donec condimentum libero in turpis interdum, sed feugiat enim tempus. Vivamus a quam venenatis dui porta consectetur. Mauris ac scelerisque erat. Cras adipiscing purus a sem varius interdum ac sit amet nunc. Quisque iaculis ante nisl, non fringilla ante egestas eget. Sed sit amet est ultricies, commodo odio vitae, blandit justo. Fusce volutpat laoreet blandit. Mauris sapien arcu, sollicitudin quis porta non, rhoncus sed orci. Pellentesque faucibus neque at est ultrices dignissim. Quisque viverra, tortor ut feugiat aliquet, nisl nulla ullamcorper nisl, id laoreet dui turpis vel mi. Nunc sagittis, dui in posuere pharetra, libero nulla sollicitudin quam, venenatis imperdiet mi velit quis nibh.

        Pellentesque nibh massa, faucibus et nisl nec, ullamcorper tincidunt nibh. Proin iaculis commodo sapien, nec dapibus augue luctus eget. Praesent magna augue, semper non orci id, vehicula imperdiet justo. Nulla porta gravida euismod. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia Curae; Pellentesque vitae est egestas, dictum quam ut, semper nisl. Suspendisse ligula orci, tincidunt venenatis convallis eu, condimentum in nunc. Vestibulum mollis fermentum malesuada. Sed rutrum erat quis quam molestie condimentum.

        Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Integer consectetur congue massa, eu viverra nisi tristique ut. Maecenas pulvinar eget sem in pharetra. Nulla malesuada ultricies eros, ac tristique massa pulvinar ut. Fusce mattis auctor leo, ut ultrices eros ultricies vel. Fusce ac augue nec mi congue sollicitudin at quis nisi. In nec venenatis arcu. Integer ac mauris dapibus, imperdiet nibh suscipit, venenatis arcu. Etiam hendrerit magna ligula, et sodales nunc imperdiet id. Praesent dapibus erat ac ipsum tempor fringilla. Fusce posuere massa sit amet elit porta, in facilisis ipsum dapibus.

As you can see it is based on rotating div.bottom-color element which is responsible for second color. There's a big problem: whenever I resize container (div.block) second color can be lost at all or first color (div.container background) is being lost.
So my question is: how do I fix that? Or am I doing this wrong and this effect should be done in some other way?

A: Your best bet would be to use a gradient background.  The angle will need to be adjusted, of course.
http://cssdeck.com/labs/xbmc9zum
.content {
    background: #ebf1f6; /* Old browsers */
    background: -moz-linear-gradient(-45deg, , #bbb, #bbb 20em, #ddd 20em); /* FF3.6+ */
    background: -webkit-linear-gradient(-45deg, , #bbb, #bbb 20em, #ddd 20em); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
    background: -o-linear-gradient(-45deg, , #bbb, #bbb 20em, #ddd 20em); /* Opera 11.10+ */
    background: -ms-linear-gradient(-45deg, , #bbb, #bbb 20em, #ddd 20em); /* IE10+ */
    background: linear-gradient(135deg, #bbb, #bbb 20em, #ddd 20em); /* W3C */
}

http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/

A: Your solution is not cross-borwser friendly. What you should do instead is create a .png image that has one side triangle with the dark gray. And make the other side 100% transparent and let the background color see through. The image you make WILL be large - but fortunately png images take only a few bytes when you only use 2 colors.

A: Your best bet is to use cimmanon solution (gradients).
However, if you want to make your solution work, see that CSS
    top: 0px;
    right: 0px;
    width: 150%;
    height: 300%;
    background-color: #bbb;
    -moz-transform:rotate(-26deg);
    -webkit-transform:rotate(-26deg);
    -o-transform:rotate(-26deg);
    -ms-transform:rotate(-26deg);
    transform:rotate(-26deg);
    -webkit-transform-origin: top right;
    transform-origin: top right;

I have added a trandform origin of top right. This way, you are making the div rotate around that point. Also note the top 0px and right 0px, That also make this point (the top right) well positioned.
With that changes, the div will be always where you want it.

CFP: The Sexual Politics of Freedom, University of Galway, May 22-23, 2020 (deadline: Feb. 21, 2020)
January 14, 2020 By shelleytremain
Keynote speakers: Prof Ratna Kapur (QMUL) and Prof Linda Martín Alcoff (CUNY)
At stake in framing the theme of this conference in terms of 'the sexual politics of freedom' as opposed to 'the politics of sexual freedom' is to draw our attention to the ways in which the politics of freedom has always been implicated in sexual politics (Bhattacharyya 2008, Butler 2016, Kapur 2018). Such a sexual politics is rooted in the histories of colonialism, secularism, and progress and attuned to a temporality and geography of European "civilization" and liberalism (Mohanty 1988, Spivak 1993). Such a political logic has onto-epistemologically placed limits upon our capacities to imagine a politics of freedom. The hegemonic account of liberal feminism which pervades discourse on human rights, justice and equality, both within and outside the academy, has meant that much of our scholarship and theorising has taken place in the shadow of, and in response to this liberal rendering of feminist politics. Such a fact has meant, we have engaged in a logic of self-sabotage, preventing us from thinking critically about and articulating, on our own terms, new forms of feminist struggle for freedom (Phillips 2019).
With this conference, we hope to explore and begin to address this problematique, refusing the questions posed of women who do not conform to the liberal ideal of "female" freedom, as to why they would "subject" themselves to a life within a so-called "patriarchal order." Such an experience is one many of us who research and write about the lives of women living in the non-European 'World' encounter on a regular basis in explaining and analysing why freedom for these women need not align with gender- and identity-neutral onto-political presuppositions of liberal subjectivity and the hegemonic paradigm of human rights discourse (Alcoff 2006). At stake, still, is the problem of subalterneity, and the location of such women in the place of "disappearance," which Spivak (1988) describes as 'the violent aporia between subject and object status.'
Taking our lead from the work of Saba Mahmood and Lila Abu-Lughod, we raise the question of the sexual politics of freedom from a non-Kantian conception of ethics as Idea (Colebrook 1998), exploring rather, the ethical lives and practices of women struggling for freedom. Such an approach, inspired by Mahmood (2005/12) and Foucault (1988, 1989) opens up a space for us to understand more clearly how practices – ethical, religious, social, and political – are concerned not simply with the regulation of life, but the constitution of an embodied form of agency and subjectivity which is particular to its own contexts and conceptions of freedom.
What can a feminist politics of freedom that centres and begins with the experiences, lives and struggles of women look like (Narayan & Harding 2000)? What would our thinking and research become if the work of post-colonial feminists and the experiences (cf. Alcoff and Potter 1993) of non-European women were not an afterthought (Bhambra 2014), a footnote, a feature of the Undercommons (Moten and Harney 2013), a final lecture to be rushed through before exam preparation? At stake in short, is an invitation to scholars and activists motivated by any of the concerns and provocations raised here, to assemble, accompany one another, think together, and engage in critique concerning the sexual politics of freedom.
The Irish Centre for Human Rights, at the National University of Ireland – Galway, invites potential participants from across the disciplinary spectrum to submit papers of 20 minutes duration.

UAE-based National Petroleum Construction Company (NPCC) has been awarded a Long-Term Agreement (LTA) contract by Saudi Aramco, giving it the right to bid for offshore oil and gas tenders in Saudi Arabia.
Aramco signed LTA deals with four international engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors in June 2015 and NPCC will be the fifth group to enter the agreement.
The LTA contractors have exclusive rights to bid for a number of oil and gas producing platforms, tie-in platforms, pipelines, power cables and related facilities under the masterplan for Aramco's offshore fields, the state-owned oil and gas giant said.
"This fifth strategic LTA is needed for the successful execution of the complex and extensive offshore projects to be completed in the offshore oil & gas fields in the Arabian Gulf – all within an aggressive schedule," said Ahmad al-Saadi, senior vice-president of Saudi Aramco's technical services department.
NPCC is owned by Abu-Dhabi-government conglomerate Senaat and Lebabnon's Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC).
Industry sources told MEED earlier this year that Aramco had invited NPCC to join the LTA. Aramco was understood to have doubts about whether the four original groups in the LTA had the capacity between them to carry out the programme of projects being tendered.
The initial four contractors are currently bidding for an estimated $1.6bn EPC contract on the Safaniya field and two contract release purchase orders (CRPO) to install facilities at the Safaniya, Marjan and Zuluf fields.
The largest LTA deal of this year was awarded to Larsen & Toubro on the expansion of the Hasbah gas field.

In 'Good for a Girl,' Lauren Fleshman of Bend seeks a better path for … Here is Oregon
Running along the trails or cross-country skiing at the sno-parks in Central Oregon, you never know what sort of world-class athletes you might come across.
Lauren Fleshman is one such athlete who has made Bend her home and is fully engaged in the trail running, mountain biking and nordic skiing lifestyle of our region.
Fleshman, 41, who has lived in Bend for 10 years, was one of the most decorated collegiate athletes of all time and a national champion as a pro. She is one of the fastest U.S. distance runners to never make the Olympics.
But with her new book, "Good for a Girl: A Woman Running in a Man's World," Fleshman has the chance to help change women's athletics in a way that no amount of Olympic team qualifications, or Olympic medals for that matter, ever could.
The book — which debuted this week at No. 10 on the New York Times Best Seller list — is a moving, emotional memoir, but also a call-to-action to fix the broken sports systems that continue to fail young women and girls.
"One of the motivators to writing this book was that I had frightened feelings about my daughter turning out to be good at running," Fleshman said. "And that really told me a lot."
According to the book, girls drop out of sports at alarming rates once they hit puberty, and female collegiate athletes routinely experience injuries, eating disorders or mental health struggles as they try to force their way past a natural dip in performance.
From her time in high school near Los Angeles, to Stanford University, to her career as a Nike-sponsored professional, Fleshman experienced some of these issues and argues for a better path forward for young athletes. She calls on coaches, parents and organizations to enact changes.
In "Good for a Girl," Fleshman draws on her own experiences, but also on emerging research on the physiology and psychology of young athletes.
She said writing the book was a challenge and "took an emotional toll."
"But I felt that it would be sad to not finish, and that it could contribute to some change if I did finish," Fleshman said. "I think it would have ate at me if I didn't do it."
Fleshman won five NCAA championships at Stanford and two national championships as a professional. She is the brand strategy advisor for Oiselle, a fitness apparel company for women, and the co-founder of Picky Bars, a natural food company. Fleshman and her husband, Jesse Thomas, a former pro triathlete, have a 9-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter.
After retiring from professional running in 2016, Fleshman coached several women in Bend on the Oiselle-sponsored, all-female Littlewing Athletics team. Several of those runners competed in the 2021 Olympic Trials in Eugene.
Fleshman is now taking a sabbatical from coaching and hopes to continue her running-and-writing retreats at Suttle Lake.
"I'm at a place of transitioning how much of my life I'm spending on elite running, and running in general," she said. "It was such a huge part of my life for so long, that it felt like a good way to close out that chapter of my life, and leave my community with an offering."
Fleshman said she felt a sense of responsibility to write "Good for a Girl."
"I worked hard at so many different levels of my career to try to nudge change, but I was also young and immature a lot of the time," Fleshman said. "My methods weren't ideal. So I think I felt an obligation as a midlife person who now had enough distance from her career to be more objective and honest."
In her book, Fleshman details in heartbreaking honesty how ill-timed injuries prevented her from ever making a U.S. Olympic team. She also details her clashes with Nike about how it treated its female-sponsored athletes.
"We need to actually look at the athletes in front of us and understand puberty and physiology, and create appropriate rewards and incentives, and ways of talking about things that reflect that," Fleshman said. "So much of what is happening now is in places where the female body differs from the male; those are kind of viewed as unfortunate, or something to fear."
Fleshman said that while "Good for a Girl" tackles some heavy issues, it is not a negative book.
"The joy of running is apparent in the book," she said. "It is a love letter to sports and the running life and that community."
Fleshman said she still runs a few days a week, and some of her favorite trails include the Deschutes River Trail from Lava Island to Benham Falls, the Old Mill District Loop and First Street Rapids.
"I also nordic ski and mountain bike," she said. "I've diversified. But I'll probably always be a runner."

Glasgow Film Festival 2019
Tell It to the Bees
Glasgow Film Festival 2019: Tell It to the Bees | Review
Movie and show review
Filmmaker Annabel Jankel may be best known for her work as co-director of the infamous so-bad-it's-good cult movie Super Mario Bros, however her latest directorial endeavour with Tell It to the Bees (adapted from the novel of the same name by Fiona Shaw) shows little improvement has been made in the last 25 years in her ability to deliver a coherent and engaging narrative. Set in a small Scottish town in the 1950s, the film follows the budding – and taboo – relationship between a doctor (Anna Paquin) and a young mother (Holliday Grainger), whose son (Gregor Selkirk) develops an infatuation with the doctor's beehives, confiding his deepest secrets to them. Full of over-sentimentality and flat performances, though, there's little joy to be found here.
To be fair to Jankel, she does occasionally show a real flair for direction and cinematography, particularly whenever the bees are involved. Through capturing the creatures in mesmerising close-ups and as a collective swarm, she brings an an element of beauty to the film. Likewise, many of the establishing shots of rural Scotland show off the country's natural beauty. This, unfortunately, is where the enjoyment ends.
Everything else about the movie, from its script to the performances, screams of the sort of hockey schlock one would expect from a made-for-TV movie shown on a Sunday afternoon – albeit one with a little more bite. The presentation is simply too overdramatic to be taken seriously, especially when the actors sound like they're reading their lines through for the first time. Paquin and Grainger have both shown themselves to be outstanding performers in recent years, but here, like the rest of the cast, they come across as flat and lifeless.
Likewise, the narrative's pacing is terribly uneven, the majority of which is spent delivering awkward exposition through clunky dialogue. It's only at the climax when the various subplots begin to come together. However, even then the impact is undercut due to the implementation of shocking imagery that comes out of seemingly nowhere (almost to hilarious effect) and a resolution that is both ridiculous and underwhelming.
Tell It to the Bees makes a noble effort in relating what is supposed to be a provocative love story. With a better screenplay and more enthusiastic actors it could well have been one, but what we have is far from what was intended.
Tell It to the Bees is released nationwide on 7th June 2019.

Custom names for web domains
Business will be able to further enhance their brands with the introduction of new internet domain suffixes.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announced this week that they are open for applications for new top-level domains (TLD) – the .com part of a web address. This means that traditional endings, such as .com and .org, could soon be joined by suffixes such as .pepsi, .virgin or .itv.
Although registering a new custom TLD will cost an expensive £120,000 ($185,000), ICANN has said the change will increase competition and choice in the domains market.
In December, the US Federal Trade Commission wrote to ICANN warning that the expansion of generic top-level domains "has the potential to magnify both the abuse of the domain name system and the corresponding challenges we encounter in tracking down Internet fraudsters."
However, Peter Dengate Thrush, former chairman of ICANN's board of directors, countered those claims and said the change is necessary for the future of the internet:
"No-one would design a domain name system now for several billion users, just using a couple of names that we started the system with in 1985."
Obtaining a new domain is going to be a serious financial commitment for any business, yet in spite of this there has been significant interest in these new custom domain endnigs, according some registration advisors . Stuart Durham of Melbourne IT DBS commented:
"We're already working on over 100 applications – we're expecting that to increase." said.
The new changes will certainly open up the choice of domains for businesses, with cheaper domains on the traditional .co.uk and .com TLDs being attractive to those who are looking to establish themselves, to those larger companies wishing to secure and expand their branding with their own TLD.
We will be able to host these new TLDs here at Gradwell. If you need to talk to someone about any of your web hosting or domain needs get in touch by calling 01225 800 808 or via email at sales@gradwell.com.
