Your comments resonated with me yesterday when I read them following my afternoon walk. It was a dreary, gray day but I was outside and elated to be off the damn treadmill that provides an unsatisfying substitute for the outdoors during our annual "dark period". There are some rather beautiful vistas of the Ohio river looking into Indiana as you travel our narrow road and I enjoyed them more than usual. Still, the world around us as we exit winter looks like it was sprayed with Roundup by a squadron of 747's. I was trying to think of a brief description of the general appearance of the ground this time of year and settled on "brown mat". You seemed to share that as well.
The Ohio River has reached flood stage for two consecutive years, something that has not occurred in the previous 31 years we have lived here. On Tuesday, it will rise to that level for the second time in two weeks. Our impact is a mild inconvenience compared to what has occurred in other parts of the country in recent years. While I can't ascribe a direct cause and effect relationship to what we are experiencing, it seems that we had better join together in addressing it free of preconceptions and agendas. Science is our friend and we need a friend at this time. I don't want my grandchildren to look back and ask if we were stupid or just didn't give a damn.


First thoughts on it are, holy smokes it bloody shifts. Fair amount of Lag below 3.5/4k but then all hell lets loose.
Going to take some adjustment to my driving with the AWD and turbo.
Everything is immaculate, the seats have had covers on for the last 18 years!! They are basically new.
All the door trim and sill plates still have the original protective plastic on from 2000, Well they did have until this morning.
3.5" Exhaust system, came on the car from Japan but haven't figured what system yet.
I thought it was going to be overly loud with the 3.5 system and sports cat.
But the sound is perfect, I can get it off my drive without waking neighbours, no drone on motorway.
But can make plenty of noise on boost. Perfect combo!
Got a little shock when I planted my foot on greasy slip road and exited in a 4WD drift when boost came on.
where it was flat out everywhere just to keep up with Mr sunday driver tootling along.
Yeah i love it in white, although its half brown at the moment, in need of a good clean this weekend!
Have a little bit of a coolant leak to sort out this weekend, got some decent oil and a black subaru filter to go on too.
Like the low spoiler look Please don't put a big wing on it.
Very nice mate. I like the wing mirrors over the standard units.
Great looking car that buddy. Enjoy.
No big wing for me thank you. Would be interested in a spoiler of an s202 but thats it.
Yeah i haven't seen them before I got this, but a nice little touch.
Not in current ownership of a type r, but had many in the past and will always remain active over on TRO as they are a good crowd.
Fresh oil and filter done, Sorted coolant leak, bottom rad hose clip was failing on not tightening fully.
Fantastic. The bug shape has really grown on me and that looks like an excellent example.
Had her in for MOT, no rear fog installed, the car has had two MOT's in the UK before me but obviously got away with the fog light issue.
I was going to go down the converting the offside reverse light as a fog light but didn't want the red bulb showing through in the clear part of the lights.
So I installed a dual filament bulb into offside brake light and have ran a switch through to the dash which just lights both filaments.
Learnt that at least a 1/3 of a tank of fuel needs to be in the tank at all times, fast right hand corner and had fuel surge.
Nice motor mate, always been a bug fan myself, now in my third Impreza, JDM bug like this in 08V but without all the body kit bits.
They're fun cars, I'm enjoying mine, but if it hasn't already been mapped for UK fuel it's worth a look, and also check your HKS filter isn't too heavily oiled - it was one of my first mods on my first Impreza WRX and it coated my MAF and made the car run horribly; was fine as soon as it came off - worth keeping an eye on if it starts feeling a bit lumpy!
Enjoy it, you very rarely see a bug in white!
You can get various style LED bulbs with colourless LEDs, which light up very bright red (or any other colour). I have one in my STi 5's converted O/S reversing lens.

The two most important things to keep in mind when attacking any zone defense are spacing and ball movement. If you can force the defense to slide back and forth across the court, eventually you'll be able to find a crack in their armor.
But it doesn't matter how fast you're moving the ball if your players aren't in the right spots. Take advantage of the fact that the defense has only assigned one player to a certain spot of the floor, and use a combination of screens, good positioning and ball movement to put the defense at a numbers disadvantage at that spot.
Bottom line: if you develop a reliable zone attack, you won't be frustrated the next time a team pulls out a zone defense on you – you'll see it as an opportunity!
Here's a quick sample play from the Zone Offenses playbook.
If you've got a great center, it can be especially tough to get them any good 1-on-1 opportunities against a zone defense – and that's exactly what the goal of this next box set is.
Our point guard will line up above the arc with the ball, and the other four players will congregate in a box just above the free throw line, with the two guard up at the top right, center bottom right, small forward bottom left, and power forward at the top left corners of the box.
To initiate the play, our point guard will dribble over to the right wing, attempting to draw out X1, the defender at the top left of their 2-3 zone.
Next, the shooting guard, small forward, and power forward, in that order, will all make a cut. The shooting guard, our first cutter, can go to three different spots, illustrated by the A, B, and C on the first diagram.
Once the two guard has made their cut, the small forward will then choose between the remaining two spots, with the power forward cutting to the final spot right after that.
The idea is for each cutter to occupy a man from the zone, spreading the defense thin and allowing for an easy entry pass and a one on one for our big man.
With the four perimeter spots filled, the point guard will enter the ball to the shooting guard in the corner. The center will make his cut last, flashing down into the post,sealing the middle defender underneath the basket, and calling for the ball.
Alternatively, the point guard can swing the ball to the opposite side using the four man up top. In this case, the center will flash through the left side, seal, and get ready to receive the pass.
Of course, this play is at it's most effective when the cutters are all a threat to hit the outside jumpshot, forcing the defense to stretch out and giving our center even more room to work with.
The Zone Offenses playbook is packed with 11 game-tested plays to help you break down ANY type of zone and get high percentage scoring opportunities.
In no time at all, your team can master these techniques and start eating zone defense for breakfast… even if you're opponent is stronger, faster, or more experienced. Best of all, it's delivered in PDF format, so you can get instant digital access… right over your computer screen, smartphone, tablet, or eReader… from anywhere in the world with an Internet connection!
could this set be run against any zone?
Could this play be run against any zone?
For this play you need a very effective center with skill set just like Bourousis.He can pass the ball and show some finesse around the basket.You must have very good spot shooters too and the zone will turn back to man to man in maybe 2.5 minutes.
Personnlly tough to run in FIBA when you have only 24 seconds. May be usefull on a sideline inbounds with FIBA. To have kids to run floor and than set up in box would not leave much time on clock.
Hell of a set to run vs zone. Love the way it gets your big man involved. Lot of movement going on early in the set. This will get the attention of the zone. It seems you can get other shots out of this set. Particularly a High low entry between your 4 and 5.
I like the idea of starting your 2, 3, 4, and 5 all grouped above the foul line.
the offense is going, much like a football play.


I don't really travel on my own much but this was an exception brought about by a call from a friend to help his company out with some technical issue to do with their web site. I just happen to have a little bit of experience with that sort of things and so I got the call. Along with that came also a full-paid 3-day trip to Pampanga. It was short notice so I didn't really have a well-planned trip itinerary in my briefcase when I started to make my way from Rockwell towards the North Luzon Expressway.
I was invited to a company outing/teambuilding event by a friend last year. It was held in this lake resort in Clark called Clearwater Resort and Country Club. It was just a one-day thing so I didn't get to say overnight in the resort. I took some very nice pictures so it was easy to remember what the place looked like. I decided to give it a try. Larry, my friend in Pampanga, took care of the reservations and paid in advance for a cottage of Clearwater Resort near the reception office of the resort. (I assume Larry didn't want me to spend my time walking to and from my room to the parking lot of the resort.) Nice choice because it was not only very spacious which I like, it had a great view of the lake and it is just one-minute walk to breakfast at the hotel's breakfast garden.
I hung around the resort for the whole afternoon after I checked out. Management of Clearwater Resort gracefully allowed me to do so. In fact the lady at the hotel's reception desk said "stay as long as you like, the place it yours, please enjoy." Now that's what I call service with a smile.
3. Spacious cottages and cabins (reception showed me two other types of accommodation namely, Lakeside Lodges and the Outback tents. I must try the latter next time around, possibly in September, or earlier if Larry gets himself into trouble with things sooner than that.
1. A small but real bar. Reception recommended a pub down the road. I tried it, very nice but I couldn't go there in my swimwear, could I?
5. Stock up the kiosk with more variety of chips to satisfy junk food addicts like me.
All in all, I like it. Clearwater Resort is not for everyone especially those who needs carpet and a grand lobby to make them feel important. For people like me who like the simple things in life, clean air, peace and quiet, lots of privacy, friendly staff, that sort of things, this resort might be the hotel of choice in Pampanga Clark Freeport.
The resort recently informed us that they have a special one-day excursion package which includes admission to Clearwater Resort, round-trip shuttle bus service from Manila to Clark Pampanga.
Have a safe and pleasant trip to Pampanga, Clark Philippines.

Is It Neander-TAL or Neander-THAL?
The CruxBy Bridget AlexAugust 25, 2016 9:40 PM
(Credit: Gianfranco Goria/Flickr) Here's the deal: you can write or say Neanderthal or Neandertal, but you should only write Homo neanderthalensis and say "Homo neander-TAL-ensis". I promise that will make sense by the end of this. The name comes from Neander Valley, Germany, where the first recognized Neanderthal fossil was found in 1856 (other Neanderthal bones had been discovered earlier, but people didn't know what to make of them). Based on this fossil, geologist William King defined the species Homo neanderthalensis in 1864, and Neanderthals became the first extinct group of humans to be granted a formal species name. At the time, thal was the region's word for valley: Neander Thal, Neander Valley. In the early twentieth century thal changed to tal when the government standardized spelling across Germany. But regardless of how people wrote it, thal/tal in German was always pronounced as English speakers would say "tall." And regardless of how Germans spell the word valley, the species name remains as King established it: Homo neanderthalensis. The colloquial spelling—Neanderthal or Neandertal—is up to you.
The Cool Crowd
Daniel Lieberman, Harvard paleoanthropologist, explains, "it is confusing to spell the species one way formally but another way colloquially, and thus I stick with good old-fashioned 'thal. That said, it is not a very important point. If some folks want to write Neandertal, that's just fine with me." John Hawks, a paleoanthropologist at University of Wisconsin, uses "Neandertal" on his popular blog to distinguish the respectable extinct humans from the people conjured by the informal meaning of Neanderthal: brutish, dimwitted present-day humans. But more importantly, "all the cool kids write it with a 'T'," according to Hawks. And the colloquial pronunciation? Most English-language dictionaries allow for both. It's just a matter of if you think that a word derived from a foreign place name should be pronounced the original way. Author Robert J. Sawyer likens saying "Neander-TAL" to calling Paris, "Par-ee." "Doing so would be considered pretentious in most contexts," he writes. So to recap: When referring to the formal species name, you should write Homo neanderthalensis and say "Homo neander-TAL-ensis". When keeping it casual, you can write/say Neanderthal or Neandertal. If you opt for the latter, some people will think you're cool. Others will think you're pretentious. And most people — including experts — really don't care. But if you're still lost, you can't go wrong if you follow this handy flowchart:

Womankind Worldwide
January 29, 2015 Leave a commentPress Releases
The Association of Women Solicitors, London is delighted to announce that during their year-long partnership with international development charity Womankind Worldwide they have raised over £6000. At an event last night hosted by Leigh Day, Tsitsi Matekeire, a human rights lawyer and programme manager at Womankind spoke about Womankind's work with their partner organisations worldwide, e.g. the Zimbabwe Women Lawyers Association has since 2007 provided direct legal assistance to over 84,000 women facing domestic violence, inheritance and property disputes to help them rebuild their lives. The money was raised by donating profit from AWS events, and members Suzanne Trask of Bolt Burden, Louise Taylor and Margaret Hatwood of Anthony Gold taking part in sponsorship events. Suzanne ran 10K at high altitude in Addis Ababa in the Great Ethiopian Run. Louise and Margaret ran the Royal Parks Half Marathon in London. Suzanne gave a wonderful and amusing, but moving, talk about her experiences in Ethiopia where she was able to see first hand some of Womankind and their partner's work.
Association of Women Solicitors London Chairwoman Margaret Hatwood family law partner at Anthony Gold said "At our AGM last year when we launched our partnership with Womankind, Helena Kennedy QC, a patron of Womankind, spoke of the importance of women helping each other. We are delighted that the money raised will go to help women in Africa and elsewhere. "
"We're absolutely delighted by the year-long partnership with AWS. Members have really shown their support by attending fundraising events, taking on inspiring challenges across the world and spreading the word about Womankind and our partners. It's been a pleasure engaging with such a generous and passionate group of women who are keen to empower women across the world." Disha Sughand, Head of Fundraising & Marketing, Womankind Worldwide

About A Passage to India
Britain's three-hundred-year relationship with the Indian subcontinent produced much fiction of interest but only one indisputable masterpiece: E. M. Forster's A Passage to India, published in 1924, at the height of the Indian independence movement. Centering on an ambiguous incident between a young Englishwoman of uncertain stability and an Indian doctor eager to know his conquerors better, Forster's book explores, with unexampled profundity, both the historical chasm between races and the eternal one between individuals struggling to ease their isolation and make sense of their humanity.

Well that was hard! We woke up this morning to the rain beating on our hotel window. Whilst we were at breakfast the rain all but stopped, allowing us to make our start just before 8am from the Edinburgh office without being drenched. However, the severe weather warnings on TV didn't promise great things weather-wise.
And so it was that at 8.15 the rain was heavy and we had the first puncture of the day from Norman. We quickly changed the tube and we were onto the Forth Road Bridge without too many problems. Another puncture on the bridge from Norman, and he decided to change wheels from the service car.
The going was ok to Dundee, but having ridden into a headwind for almost 4 hours, my legs were trying to tell me that we had done more than what our computers were telling us. What do legs know. When they tell you that they can't go on any longer, it just means that they can't be bothered. Pain is a good sign - it is weakness leaving the body. Or so I tried to convince myself.
We were not quite half way yet, and the wind was picking up and if anything the rain was getting harder. From Dundee until Arbroath the wind was on our left hand shoulder - a cross headwind. A slight turn in the road at Arbroath and we were to have a block headwind for the rest of the way. The rest was really a blur. At some point I was aware that Norman had stopped coming through. At 55 he is a former multiple Scottish champion at both road and time trial events. I have never in 6 years of riding with Norman experienced that. Norman said afterwards that today is the hardest day of riding that he remembers - and he has been racing since before I was born!
The end didn't ever seem to come and I was getting tired. Then out of the spray I saw three other cyclists - in shorts! The relief was overwhelming. The thought of being able to sit on fresh wheels for the last 5 miles was bliss. A big thank you to David Marshall, David Scott and Craig Duncan for coming out to meet us. It was a huge help at a time of great need. Thank you.
The arrival at Johnstone House was surreal - thank you very much to everyone who came out in the rain to cheer us home. Thank you very much for the food (which was a life saver) and the hot drinks.
It is a good sign that I have nothing but good memories of Friday!
Given the forecasts, we decided to cycle from Inverness back to Aberdeen. Setting off from the Inverness office at around 10am, Sine and John from the Inverness office joined us for the first 5 or so miles out of Inverness. After the two wished us well, we headed off into some absolutely beautiful countryside. The route saw us on small side roads all the way to Alford. The route which we finally took was: Inverness; Croy; Ferness; Dava; Grantown; Knockando; Dufftown; Cabrach; Lumsden; Alford; Aberdeen.
What on paper was supposed to be the tougher of the two days, turned out into an altogether enjoyable affair. We were never quite dry though - the frequent showers made sure of that. But at least the wind was more on our side. We also had added firepower in the group in the form of Alister Watt, a member of our team who had managed to join us for the second day with fresh legs.
After some 120 miles and 4000ft of climbing, we arrived back in Aberdeen. Again the welcome was brilliant. Thank you to everyone who came out to welcome us back, and thank you very much for the warm soup and bread which went down a treat.
The weekend also turned out to be successful for the team. Whilst I had a fever by Saturday and decided not to race on Sunday, Norman and Keith both raced, Keith winning the Aberdeen District time trial championships.
Most importantly, we have now raised close to £1,500 for Cornerstone. A big thank you to everyone who has contributed.

Mexican Skipper Rammed Meth-Stuffed Boat Into US Vessels

The crew of the Rednour made the ship's first drug bust during the patrol. US Coast Guard photo.
The Mexican skipper who speared his meth-stuffed fishing boat into his US Coast Guard pursuers during a dangerous 2020 drug run off California is going to stay in prison.
On Friday, Aug. 5, in San Diego, US District Judge Janis L. Sammartino called Miguel Ojeda Agundez's conduct "egregious" as she sentenced him to 194 months in a federal penitentiary. Ojeda Agundez, 26, had faced up to a life sentence behind bars.
In a plea deal he inked with federal prosecutors on March 18, 2021, Ojeda Agundez confessed to committing 15 federal felonies, including conspiring to distribute methamphetamine, failure to heave to, and assault with a deadly weapon on five federal officers.
Ojeda Agundez became the last of his four-man crew to be convicted and sentenced for the botched drug-smuggling operation. His court-appointed attorneys did not respond to Coffee or Die Magazine's requests for comment.
"Unfortunately, this is not the first time the lives of our Coast Guard members have been threatened by drug smugglers," Rear Adm. Andrew Sugimoto, the commander of US Coast Guard District 11, said in a prepared statement. "Senior Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne III was killed during a countersmuggling operation. Those individuals responsible for taking his life and threatening the lives of other Coast Guard members were held accountable. As a service, we do not take these actions lightly and I trust the decision of the courts to continue to hold these criminals responsible for their continued disregard for life."
Kade Horne holds a program and listens to the benediction during a ceremony to celebrate the life of his father, Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer Terrell E. Horne III, at Second Presbyterian Church in Charleston, South Carolina, on Jan. 5, 2013. The executive petty officer and boarding officer of the cutter Halibut, Horne was conducting maritime law enforcement operations near California's Santa Cruz Island on Dec. 2, 2012, when a drug smuggler operating a panga boat rammed it into the senior chief's small vessel, killing him. The panga's operator was convicted of murder. US Coast Guard photo.

A fisherman by trade who was out of work after Mexican authorities curtailed catches in the Gulf of California to protect the endangered Vaquita porpoise, Ojeda Agundez began concocting a plot in 2020 to bring methamphetamine to a Los Angeles parking lot by sea for $60,000.
Once in California, the crew planned to abandon their fishing boat and sneak back into Mexico by land.
By his own admission, Ojeda Agundez had become strung out on crystal meth, which he mixed with the anti-anxiety drug Clonazepam during his 16-hour days on board a fishing boat. Before he and his crew shoved off on his meth-smuggling caper, he'd also been drinking booze and had barely slept for nearly four days.
Ojeda Agundez and the other three men left Mexico on Aug. 7, 2020, in a panga, a small but fast and nimble fishing craft, which they hoped to run in the darkness without lights to evade US Department of Homeland Security patrols.
That didn't work.
The US Coast Guard's 26-foot over-the-horizon cutter boat is an aluminum, deep-v, single diesel engine, water-jet propelled, planing monohull that can reach 30 knots when pursuing drug smugglers at sea. US Coast Guard photo.
A few minutes before midnight, federal agents above them in a US Customs and Border Patrol plane spotted the boat crossing into US waters, about 24 nautical miles west of Mexico. Officials scrambled the US Coast Guard cutter Forrest Rednour to intercept the panga off San Clemente.
Shortly after 1 a.m. on Aug. 8, 2020, the US Coast Guard crew launched an over-the-horizon cutter boat. The five US Coast Guard personnel on board it quickly caught up to the panga and ordered Ojeda Agundez to stop the engine and surrender.
When he didn't respond, a member of the Coast Guard crew fired a warning shot across the bow. Then Ojeda Agundez turned his panga 90 degrees and gunned his engine. Seeing the panga flying at the cutter boat, a Coast Guard crew member fired a second shot, but it didn't stop Ojeda Agundez.
The panga rammed the cutter boat, sending the vessel spinning across the waves like a broken top. The force of impact bent the cutter boat's beam and injured at least one of the crew members.
Ojeda Agundez sped off into the night, the battered cutter boat limping after him.

By 1:30 a.m., a faster US Customs and Border Patrol Air and Marine interceptor vessel had taken over the pursuit and closed on the panga.
The agents on board the interceptor again ordered Ojeda Agundez to surrender and fired a warning shot, but he turned his panga into the boat twice, repeatedly flipping off the federal agents with his middle finger.
The agents fired volleys of rounds to disable the panga's engine before the boat came around again. A disabling round finally ripped through the motor, and the panga began to drift, dead in the water, roughly 11 nautical miles west of San Clemente.
On board the tiny panga, they found two of Ojeda Agundez's crew injured from the collisions.
They also turned up four large ice chests and a black suitcase filled with 227 kilograms of meth, worth more than $1 million on the street.

In the six months after Ojeda Agundez signed his plea deal, prosecutors sparred with his defense attorneys over how long the Mexican man would stay in prison.
Prosecutors argued that Ojeda Agundez committed a series of very serious and potentially deadly crimes. Calling him a "grave danger to the community" whose actions left the Coast Guard team with long-lasting physical and mental anguish, prosecutors called for the Mexican man to spend 27 years behind bars.
But Ojeda Agundez's attorneys asked for leniency for the married father. They told the judge that Ojeda Agundez had been a model federal inmate who was committed to receiving substance abuse treatment.
They asked for 15 years in a penitentiary. The judge gave him a little more than 16.
"This case is a reminder of the heroism, bravery, and professionalism that Coast Guard officials employ on every mission to safeguard the United States from drug smugglers," US Attorney Randy Grossman said in a prepared statement. "Violence against the Coast Guard will not be tolerated and will be aggressively prosecuted by this office."

On his ex-Amber Rose:
"She's just soaking in the moment. If Kim had dated me when I first wanted to be with her, there wouldn't be an Amber Rose. It's very hard for a woman to wanna be with someone that's with Amber Rose. I had to take thirty showers before I got with Kim."
On Kim sending him naked pictures while he was with Amber:
On his wife Kim Kardashian West posing nude for Paper magazine:
"I think that with my wife, now that she has access to high level photographers, it's important for her to stand up in all of her glory and all of her power. Her power is in her body, it's in her nudity. Her power is in her mind, power is in her family, but body is one of her powers. She's going to always have that body, but she's going to have mind, family and she's going to create a legacy. But, she can get naked if she wants to, it's not illegal to get naked."
On if he thinks the Kardashian brand has hurt the Kanye West brand:
"No, it helped. It just shows my ability to bridge the gap."
On having North West front row at his fashion show:
"No one can tell me where to have my child or not."
On Beyonce & Kim K's relationship:
"They love each other. They respect each other. When Beyonce is working on her album, she has pictures of Kim on the wall because Kim represents powerful women. Kim plays the '7/11' video. Maybe there's a LeBron James/Kobe element to it."
On taking up for Beyonce:
"Beyonce don't need no help. People look at Beyonce because she's rich, a beautiful woman and talented and so they figure she has everything, so she don't need nothing else. But I think she needs the proper accolades because she's an inspiration."
On Beck:
"The other day I went to dinner with Taylor Swift and ironically they were playing the Beck album. I was listening and I was like 'Man, this is kinda good'." He said he hadn't heard the Beck album before for his rant after this year's Grammys.
On why he chose to have Dame Dash present him the BET Honors Award:
"Because he presented me to the world and I wouldn't have had a record deal if it wasn't Dame Dash."
On deciding to ride with Jay Z over Dame:
"It was an extremely visionary move on my part, to roll with Jay Z. I mention Dame in a lot of raps but the story is not done. It made more sense for me career wise to roll with Jay even though Dame had supported me. I wonder, where would we be if I had rolled with Dame. I came to Roc-A-Fella because Jay Z was my idol and it would have been hard for me at that young state to separate from my idol. That was a decision I made, do I say that there was some disloyalty in that? Yea, I'll own up to that. Is it anything me and Dame can do together now to make money? Yea. We're [Ye & Dame] going to work on films. Dame is like the original person who understood culture. You definitely have to say Dame is a real n*gga."
On auto-tune:
"I don't like auto-tune either, but I need it. I can bend my voice and other things and I like to do that."
On his YEEZY 750 BOOST sneakers:
"I didn't want them to be limited actually that's something that the company did. I really wanted as many people to get them as possible. I don't want the price to be $350. I don't want to play this sneaker culture game. I just want people to have what I made."

COLOMBIA: Harnessing the Maritime potential
By FullAvanteNews S.S	 On Jul 8, 2020
Colombia 2 océanos
Today we share the article written by Diego Dorado, for La Silla Llena about the opportunity that Colombia has regarding the sustainable development of its oceans and how hanessing the maritime potential can be an engine for the reactivation of the post-pandemic economy.
We must take advantage of Colombia's maritime potential
Our maritime potential is wasted. Taking advantage of it would benefit: 47 municipalities, 12 departments, and, in general, the entire country. But we must overcome at least three challenges: awareness, knowledge, and institutional coordination. A post-covid alternative.
"The sea is everything. It covers seven-tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never alone, because he feels life on all sides"
-Jules Verne
World Ocean Day is celebrated on June 8. A moment to reflect on all that the sea has given us and will give us. Time to think about Colombia's maritime potential, especially when the national development plan has an Oceans chapter and recently the Conpes -National Council for Economic and Social Policy-, a kind of ministerial cabinet specialized in policy issues, approved the document 3990 known as "Colombia Sustainable Bioceanic Power 2030".
The words: Power and Biooceanic attract attention. It is not for less. Colombia is one of the few countries in the world that has two seas, in total we are 21 countries. But it is the only one in South America.
Additionally, and thanks to our seas that cover a little more than 950 thousand square kilometers, Colombia limits with 11 countries, and not only 5, as in the primary many times they made us repeat. A quick survey carried out by the Colombian Commission of the Ocean to university students, identified that 64 percent of students from cities in the interior of the country believed that Colombia limits with 5 countries, while 49 percent of students from coastal cities think the same.
But our potential is not only in the extension and the limits. Today, about 5 million Colombians live in the 47 municipalities that have a coast, distributed in 12 different departments. Four of these in the Pacific, seven in the continental Caribbean and one in the insular Caribbean, a condition that has led some to call Colombia "a country with three coasts" (Red Ibemar).
The curious thing about this description is that, among these departments, there is one that has a coast in the two oceans, Chocó; another, not being from the Caribbean Region, has an important port for the country's exports, Antioquia; and one with island characteristics, which, although it is known for its beautiful beaches and tourism, its potential is clearly superior thanks to the fact that it houses the Seaflower maritime reserve, one of the largest and richest on the planet.
Without a doubt, great potential. Unfortunately, we don't take advantage of it. When we talk about the sea, we immediately think of two things: the beach and fishing. The beach, representing tourism, is undoubtedly one of the main economic activities that take place next to the sea. But how well are we prepared to take advantage of it? An interesting analysis is made in the Conpes document, concluding that there is still much to work on. For example, of the 47 municipalities, only 13 meet the conditions required by the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Tourism for the development of this industry. Topics like bilingualism and customer service require a lot of work.
The other topic is fishing, a food source for many on the planet. However, in Colombia, it weighs little on GDP, an indicator that we economists use to measure how much is produced in a country. Its contribution to GDP reaches 0.2 percent, but of this only 22.9 percent is from sea fishing. In terms of dimensions, and analyzed on the total tons of fish, fishing in Ecuador is 9 times greater than that of Colombia, and that of Peru is 19.5 times. The curious thing is that these two neighboring countries have a single sea and in the case of Ecuador a coastline equivalent to a third of the Colombian.
The sea certainly has great potential. According to WWF, the world's oceans could generate revenues of close to $ 2.5 trillion a year, making the Ocean the seventh-largest economy in the world. This income is given by measuring its potential in fishing, tourism, and maritime trade. I do not include the potential income that could be given, among others, by mining and hydrocarbons, only with significant exploitation off the Guajira coast in the Chuchupa and Ballenas gas fields, since the 1970s; and some exploration activity some years ago in other areas, with which the potential is much greater.
But for Colombia to take advantage of this great potential, in fishing, tourism, trade, mining, power generation, among others, it must face three major challenges: awareness, knowledge, and institutionality. And this without mentioning the environmental issue, particularly that of coastal erosion, which affects 40 percent of our 3,330 kilometers of coastline.
The first is to become aware of the importance of the sea for us. Today maritime and related activities only reach 5.8 percent of GDP. Value that falls to 0.49 percent of GDP, when this figure is purified, leaving only fishing, water transport and shipyards, as mentioned in Conpes 3990. This greater awareness must be accompanied by more information, a task where the Dane could collaborate by creating an ocean satellite account.
The second is associated with understanding how municipalities affect maritime development and how it affects them. We know that we have 47 coastal municipalities, but we do not ask ourselves how many municipalities are directly related to the sea? If we cross the coastal municipalities with the functional subregions used by National Planning to identify relationships between municipalities -switches-, we will find that these municipalities interact with 92 more. Therefore, when we talk about municipalities associated with the sea, we should talk about 138, not just 47.
And how are these municipalities? The statistics, although criticized, are hard. The 47 coastal municipalities have lower secondary education coverage than the national average. That is, while the national average is 40.7 percent, in these municipalities it is 28.2 percent. In sewerage, the situation is similar. This situation is further aggravated when analyzing the difference that exists between the municipalities in the Pacific, the Caribbean or the insular Caribbean.
And the third challenge is in institutional coordination. At the national level, much has been achieved thanks to the silent and prudent leadership of the Colombian Ocean Commission -CCO-, but there is still much to be achieved. But in terms of nation-department-municipality-university-private sector coordination, there is still much to work on.
Today we ask ourselves how to reactivate the country's economy. Well, we have an alternative in front of us. We should think about how to face these challenges and include their actions in the reactivation strategies. The municipalities that are still adjusting their development plans, or those that having approved them have not yet finished landing their reactivation strategies, should think of the sea. This offers them food, work, commerce, knowledge, recreation and who knows what else. For all this, there is no need to reinforce the support to these municipalities by the CCO, the DNP or the Esap, and why not, a revision of the laws that promote maritime development from Congress.

Labatt Park tour a must do for baseball fans
By the end of my tour at Labatt Park in London, Ont., I half expected the ghosts of Mooney Gibson, Frank Colman and Stan "Gabby" Anderson to waltz out of the backroom of the Roy McKay Clubhouse.
That's a credit to the vivid details and compelling anecdotes, and the enthusiastic delivery of them, by tour guides Liam Clifford, Jonathan Bayer and Dave De Kelver.
De Kelver was quick, however, to credit local historians Stephen Harding and Barry Wells, as well as Barry Boughner and the London Majors Alumni Association, for much of the information they were able to impart. Mike Dove and students from his Western Public History M.A. program also helped script the tour.
Gibson and Colman were London-born major leaguers who returned home after hanging up their professional playing spikes to savor Labatt Park, which is recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's oldest continually operating baseball grounds.
Between 1958 and 1966, Anderson was a six-time All-Star with the London Majors, an Intercounty Baseball League team that still competes in the park today.
I'm fortunate to live in London, Ont., and to have played in Labatt Park as a teen and visited it at the corner of Wilson Avenue and Riverside Drive dozens of times. So I thought I knew everything there was to know about it, but during my tour, I discovered I was wrong – very wrong.
Before I describe my tour, I want to take the time to applaud the selfless and passionate work of Stephen Harding, Barry Wells, Barry Boughner, the London Majors Alumni Association, the Friends of Labatt Park and Mike Dove's history class. They have devoted countless hours to keeping the story of this historic park alive. Credit should also go to Tourism London's director of sports tourism Zanth Jarvis for initiating public tours of the facility in 2021.
This was my first tour of Labatt Park since several storyboards illustrating the history of the facility, which dates back to 1877, have been erected. In listening to the tour guides, I was impressed by the resiliency of the park and its supporters. It has bounced back from major floods in 1883 and 1937 that wiped out the main grandstand. The latter flood was so bad that the field was under 12 feet of water.
One of the most fascinating storyboards of the tour for me is located behind the seating down the first base line. It highlights some of the baseball legends that have made appearances at Labatt Park. I was aware that Ty Cobb and Charlie Gehringer had played there, but I didn't know that Tris Speaker and Walter Johnson had set foot there. And the photo of Pittsburgh Pirates legend Honus Wagner in the dugout for an exhibition game is more than worth the price of the tour alone.
Liam Clifford, the first tour guide of the day, also shared the story of Alf White, one of the great London players of the 1930s. White was actually offered a contract by Philadelphia A's manager Connie Mack, but opted to stay in London because the A's couldn't give him more money than he was making between the Majors and his day job, and he didn't want to uproot his family.
Another fact I learned on the tour was that it was George "Mooney" Gibson, himself, who encouraged John Labatt to purchase the park at the end of 1936. Labatt was, of course, the owner of a successful brewing company and he purchased the park and promptly donated it back to the city with two stipulations: that the park be named Labatt Memorial Park and that it would always be used for recreational purposes.
For the middle of the tour, I wished I had brought my baseball glove. This is when you have the opportunity to walk onto the beautifully manicured field and play catch. It's a wonderful and heartwarming "Field of Dreams" idea. And I found myself wishing my dad was there to toss a ball with.
Labatt Park tour guide Jonathan Bayer tells us about some of the trailblazing African-American players that have competed at the park.
Behind the seats down the third base line, there are storyboards that shine the spotlight on the trailblazing African-American teams and players that competed at Labatt Park. Satchel Paige and famed boxer Joe Louis were among those who played for barnstorming teams at the facility. I also learned that many groundbreaking women's teams had played at the park over the years.
Another storyboard highlights the near 100-year history of the London Majors, a semi-pro Intercounty Baseball League club. The club's storied history includes several name changes, many superstars and ex-big leaguers and 13 championships. (I can't do their history justice here. But go to the park and read about them.)
Some of the more recent major league stars that have played at Labatt Park are also highlighted, including two-sport athlete Deion Sanders, Hall of Famers Jeff Bagwell and Jim Thome and five-time American League All-Star Travis Fryman, who suited up for the London Tigers (a Detroit Tigers' double-A affiliate) in 1989.
A photo of Corunna, Ont., native Rob Thomson, a former London Tigers coach, was on the same storyboard. On the day of my visit, as the tour guide pointed out, Thomson had been named the interim manager of the Philadelphia Phillies. This made him the first full-time Canadian major league manager since Gibson served as the dugout boss of the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1934.
At the end of the tour, we entered the historic Roy McKay Clubhouse, which was originally constructed in 1937. McKay started as a bat boy with the Majors, but he was later the club's long-serving manager who led them to league titles in 1969 and 1975.
The historic clubhouse is now full of interesting exhibits, including one devoted to Londoner Ted Giannoulas, better known as the San Diego Chicken. The back room features locker stalls with jerseys of all-time great London Majors, including one devoted to Hall of Famer Fergie Jenkins (Chatham, Ont.) who played with the Majors in 1984 and 1985. The day of my tour was to have been Fergie Jenkins Day at Labatt Park, and Jenkins was going to take the tour with us. But the legend had to cancel after suffering COVID-19 symptoms. Fergie Jenkins Day has since been rescheduled for July 29.
Some of the locker stalls in the Roy McKay Clubhouse at Labatt Park.
As much as it would've have been great to have Jenkins there, the tour was still truly fascinating and compelling without him. The tour guides were passionate and great storytellers, the storyboards are well-designed and informative and when I stepped on the field and into the Roy McKay Clubhouse I felt something magical.
So magical, in fact, that I plan to return for another tour.
And when I do, I won't be surprised at all if the ghosts of Gibson, Colman and Anderson waltz out of the backroom of the Roy McKay Clubhouse.

Did a parts of "A League of their own" get filmed at that park?
Hi Cathy. Thanks for your comment. The story I've heard is that they initially planned to film some of "A League of Their Own" at Labatt Park, but eventually they decided not to because the producers couldn't make it work in their schedule.

You can move EBS volume between EC2 instances explicitly or by stopping/terminating the instance.
However, if the instance that the volume is attached to is running, you must unmount the volume (from the instance) before you detach it. Failure to do so results in the volume being stuck in the busy state while it is trying to detach, which could possibly damage the file system or the data it contains.
If an EBS volume is the root device of an instance, you must stop the instance before you can detach the volume.
Usecase scenario : You might want to use the volume on another instance or if you have any error regarding ssh or any other service files which is not allowing access to instance than you can detach the volume and rollback changes to files and attach back to recover instance.
You will have unmount the EBS volume if its in use.
First, use the following command to unmount the /dev/sdf device.
Note : You cannot unmount EBS volume which is Root (the only volume attached to EC2 instance), hence in this case you have to stop instance.
Select EC2 instance to be attached to.
Once you have done this, now you can use the EBS volume on other EC2 instance.
You'll see the EBS volume listed and ready to be used.
Write you queries in below comment section, I'll be happy to help.

Cairo, 6 August 2020: –The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), Africa's foremost multilateral trade finance institution, is supporting the advancement of Mozambique's energy industry and economy by committing up to US$400 million in guarantees and direct lending to the Area 1 LNG Project. The total project is estimated to cost about US$24 billion and is set to be the largest private foreign direct investments in Africa, and one of the largest LNG projects in the world. It will play a key role in Mozambique's economic growth and support the wider region.
The US$400m financing will be used to partially finance the project development activities required to extract natural gas offshore, its transfer to onshore processing facilities and then its conversion to LNG for export to various markets around the world.
The Mozambique Area 1 LNG project is an integrated LNG development that will initially comprise two LNG liquefaction trains – each capable of processing 6.44 million metric tonnes a year. The initial development is expected to produce more than sixteen trillion cubic feet of gas and ninety-three million barrels of condensate over the 30-year development and production period.
A key focus is for the project to be developed in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner and that it operates responsibly, protecting the environment, as well as the health and safety of the public, employees and contractors. Investment into the region will create jobs, increase the standard of living and is expected to drive long-term sustainable economic growth for the country and the region.
The US$400 million commitment to the project is in line with Afreximbank's strategy of promoting intra-African trade as well as industrialization and export development. The guarantee is done jointly with Export Credit Insurance Corporation of South Africa SOC Limited (ECIC) which has enabled significant African contribution to the overall financing of the Project. This joint collaboration is offered under the South Africa-Africa Trade and Investment Promotion Programme (SATIPP), launched in 2018, to promote and expand trade and investments between South Africa and the rest of Africa.
In line with Afreximbank's strategy of using partnerships to promote trade and investments in Africa, Afreximbank is once again deploying its ECA-Plus guarantee, offered under the Afreximbank Guarantee Programme (AFGAP), to support this project. The ECA-Plus Guarantee, facilitates collaboration between Afreximbank and global export credit agencies where Afreximbank uses its guarantee to share risk with ECAs in African related transactions and projects by way of co-guarantees and re-guarantees. The objective is to help create capcacity, reduce risk and unlock capital for African trade and investments.
Prof. Benedict Oramah, President of Afreximbank, said:
"We are confident the Mozambique LNG project will create opportunities for the people of the country and drive sustainable economic growth. We believe that the success of projects such as this will create a precedent through which other development projects in Africa can secure funding and gain international traction. We are delighted to be one of the key stakeholders involved in this project which will accelerate the rate of growth of intra-African trade."

What is the key to a clean and loud mix?
Is it EQ? Is it compression? Limiting maybe?
To some extent – yes. But in my experience, the biggest game-changer that significantly improved my mixes was focusing on properly gain staging my tracks.
Gain staging is the process of managing the level of an audio signal over multiple steps.
The microphone's gain can be set or adjusted first on the microphone preamp, and secondly on the audio interface line input. By having multiple steps in the process, we have greater control of a signal's volume at the recording stage.
As we can tell – there are three key stages that allow us to control a signal's gain when mixing in Pro Tools. We can also add more steps if we chose to output this track to a Subgroup, etc. Some DAWs may offer more or less flexibility.
Every audio-passing system (analog or digital) has two extremes. At the quiet end there is the noise floor, which consists of a constant background hiss. It's not ideal to record sounds too quiet because if/when their volume is increased during mixing and mastering, the noise floor will also increase. This would result in the background hiss becoming more present within your track.
On the loud end there is clipping and distortion that happen as a result of overloading the channel. We wouldn't want to set our volumes too loud so that our tracks are constantly clipping and creating ugly distortion. That's equally as bad as it won't allow us to increase the volume of our track later at the mastering level.
Approaching the gain staging of our track will require finding a middle ground between the two. Enter headroom.
Say we had an empty glass in front of us with a pitcher of water ready to fill it. There is only so much room for water in that glass – and even though we have a pitcher that can fill multiple glasses, it would be unwise to pour the whole pitcher into it. In fact – we couldn't. You would eventually fill the glass and then make a mess with the rest of the water as it continues to pour out.
The glass is a symbol for the dynamic range of our track. There is only so much volume you can squeeze out of one track. If you go too far, you will exceed the dynamic range of the track and overload it, which will create problems such as clipping and distortion.
Continuing, when we pour ourselves a single glass, we likely wouldn't fill it right to the brim. We could – but picking it up and drinking it will be a challenge, we may even spill some as we attempt to grab it. So what do we do? We pour enough to leave a bit of room at the top so we can sip our water without making a mess.
That room at the top of the glass is headroom. When you are mixing, you want to preserve some of the dynamic range of your track in order to prevent it from clipping during transients or louder moments that occur throughout the song. Headroom acts as a buffer zone for loud peaks and increases in volume that may occur throughout the performance.
By preserving headroom, you will give yourself and/or the mastering engineer the ability to turn up the mix later during the mastering process. This will be the time when the record comes up in volume to an industry acceptable level.
Visual idea of headroom as it appears on a Pro Tools audio track. In the photo of the channel (to the left), there is about -8db of headroom.
How much headroom should I preserve in a mix?
The amount varies depending on the circumstance. A number of factors come into play – such as whether this is during the recording or mixing stage, the quality of the sound source, what are current volume relationships like, etc.
Most engineers aim for at least -6db of headroom on their meters. I am included in this equation; however, every now and then I break and bend the rules. This is strategically as I am mastering most of my own music and understand how far I can push things.
Why is gain staging important?
Gain staging is important because it directly pertains to the volume relationships within our mix. When used effectively, it will avoid increasing the noise floor and keep noise to a minimum. Gain staging will also allow us to maximize the dynamic range of a track while preserving overall headroom in the mix. The combined results will be a clean, balanced and loud mix that bangs.
Is it better to be too loud or too quiet?
This is a challenging one to answer. On the one hand, if something is too quiet and requires that we increase it's volume during mixing, it will likely introduce some noise.
On the other hand, if we record a source so loud that we are overloading the track and clipping, we will have audio that sounds harsh, ugly and distorted.
The true answer is neither is ideal. However – if I had to pick one, I would rather have my track be too quiet. While it may introduce noise, there are at least ways to reduce it and it won't be distorting. A track that is distorted is unfixable and has many other issues that come with it.
What happens if I don't gain stage my tracks accordingly?
Without proper gain staging, we are holding the mix back from sounding as good as it could be. This poses a problem later when it comes to mastering, as we will not be able to turn up a mix that is already too loud, or remove noise that is already present. Furthermore, a song that is gain staged too loud has a tendency to sound weak, thin, flat, distorted and generally unpleasant. Tread carefully.
This lesson was one I learned later in my career and took me awhile to fully understand. In retrospect, strategic gain staging in a mix has taken me farther than compression and other processing. Mastering this part of the process will help you achieve louder and cleaner mixes on your own as well.
I'll be back with more mixing tips in the near future.

Bar Hopping to tackle older foes in TVG championship
Friday, November 11, 2016 - by Ken Weingartner, Harness Racing Communications
Freehold, NJ --- For the second consecutive year, trainer Jimmy Takter will send a 3-year-old colt to challenge older rivals in the TVG Free For All Series championship for trotters at the Meadowlands Racetrack. Last season, it was The Bank. This time, it is Bar Hopping, who on Saturday will try to become the first 3-year-old male trotter in recent history to win against older foes in a series final worth at least $100,000.
The Bank and Bar Hopping received invitations to the TVG championship as Breeders Crown winners. Bar Hopping won his Crown on Oct. 29 with a stakes-record-equaling 1:51.4 mile at the Big M and followed that victory with a track-record 1:53.4 triumph in the Carl Erskine Trot on Nov. 4 at Indiana's Hoosier Park.
For the year, Bar Hopping has won nine of 18 races and earned $1.17 million in purses. He has won six of his last seven starts, including the Breeders Crown, Erskine, and Canadian Trotting Classic. His only setback during that span was a third-place finish in the Kentucky Futurity, where he was beaten by a half-length by Trotting Triple Crown winner Marion Marauder.

Bar Hopping enters the TVG final off a track record performance in the $220,000 Carl Erskine Trot at Hoosier Park.
Bar Hopping and driver Tim Tetrick will start the $400,000 TVG championship from post three and are the 4-1 second choice on the morning line. Resolve, the defending TVG champion from the stable of Ake Svanstedt, is the 7-5 favorite.
"He's definitely on top of his game," Tetrick said of Bar Hopping. "Really all year he's raced pretty good. He had a couple hiccups here or there, but the horse is sharp right now. He won really good at Hoosier and he was great in the Breeders Crown."
According to the U.S. Trotting Association's Information and Research Department, Bar Hopping is seeking to become the first 3-year-old male trotter in recent history to win against older foes in a series final worth at least $100,000 since Before He Cheats captured the $120,000 Chester Late Closing Series in 2007.
The only other instance since 1992 of a 3-year-old trotter winning a race worth at least $100,000 against older horses came on the female side, when filly CR Kay Suzie defeated seven mares in the Breeders Crown at the Delaware County Fairgrounds in Ohio.
Last year, The Bank finished seventh in the TVG.
Joining Bar Hopping and Resolve in this year's TVG final are Obrigado, Centurion ATM, Crazy Wow, Wind Of The North, JL Cruze, and Lookslikeachpndale.
Resolve has won five of 12 races this year and earned $1.31 million. He won the Yonkers International Trot and Maple Leaf and finished second in the Breeders Crown Open Trot and Sweden's Elitlopp.
Obrigado is a multiple-stakes-winner and JL Cruze, last year's divisional Dan Patch Award winner, was third in the Breeders Crown.
"All we can do is hope for a good trip and hope some of those big boys have a day off," Tetrick said of Bar Hopping's challenge. "Maybe we can end the season on a great note."
TVG Series finals for older female trotters plus older male and female pacers are also on Saturday's Meadowlands card.
Breeders Crown Mare Trot winner Hannelore Hanover is the 7-5 morning line favorite in the $200,000 TVG for trotting mares. Bee A Magician is the 2-1 second choice.
Always B Miki, the Breeders Crown Open Pace champ and the fastest horse in harness racing history with a 1:46 mile record, is the 1-5 choice in the $400,000 TVG for older male pacers while Breeders Crown Mare Pace winner Lady Shadow gets the 4-5 nod in the $200,000 TVG for female pacers.

The 3-year-old colt trot carries a purse of $178,650, the 3-year-old colt pacers will race for $160,200, the purse for the 3-year-old filly trot is $149,000 and the 3-year-old filly pacers will race for $148,400.
Hurley has 'mixed emotions' as Always B Miki's racing career comes to an end (Friday, November 11, 2016)
Joe Hurley's run with Always B Miki is coming to an end. On Saturday night, Hurley, who at trackside ran down the final portion of the stretch at Lexington as Always B Miki made history with his 1:46 all-time record mile a month ago, will watch the 5-year-old pacing stallion he bred and co-owns compete for the final time in his career.
Hannelore Hanover, Lady Shadow prevail in TVG female contests (Saturday, November 12, 2016)
In the $200,000 TVG for trotting mares (race four), Hannelore Hanover ($3.60) rallied from off the pace to once again defeat Bee a Magician, vaulting home and reeling in the quadruple millionaire for a 1:51.4 score. Lady Shadow ($2.40) used nearly identical tactics as Always B Miki en route to her 1:50 win in the $200,000 TVG for pacing mares.
