Colne Valley Railway.
Today we attended our second rally of the season when we paid a visit to the Colne Valley Railway in Essex. We used one of Jake's Metrocab Taxis instead of a bus purely due to the fuel costs for the distance (250 mile round trip!) and the ability to travel at reasonable speed on the motorway! As you may have seen in the news, the railway is currently under threat of closure at the end of the year due to the landowners wanting to sell the site to property developers. If you haven't already visited here please do so. This is a very friendly little railway with well presented and unique rolling stock. We hope to return later in the year to another show there and wish all the staff and volunteers good luck in remaining in situ.

Press Release: Children's paradise found on Madeira Island
Thanks to the appealing climate and increasing range of year-round outdoor activities, Madeira has been expanding its appeal to families in recent years.
Roger Still, who lives on Madeira with his wife Lizzie and daughter Lara, says: "When we moved here 18 months ago, we weren't sure how Lara would settle but we've all acclimated very quickly thanks to the huge range of activities available year round. Opportunities here for families are terrific."
"Lara particularly enjoys the Saturday morning girl's golf lessons held at the Palheiro Golf Course. They are very popular, with around 20 girls attending each week."
The long coastline provides a range of water sports including surfing, fishing, sailing and snorkelling. Dolphin spotting boat trips are another great day out.
The lush interior has a winding network of levadas for walking explorations of the islands flora and fauna. Mountain biking is another popular activity.
The annual festivals are a highlight for families, particularly the fireworks displays on New Year's Eve and during the Atlantic Festival in June.
During the Festival of the Flower in April, thousands of children gather to place a flower at the Municipal Square to make up the floral "Wall of Hope" (Muro da Esperana). This festival also offers classical concerts and live folk music.
A deer park, an ecological park, a farmyard zoo (Prazeres), the Story Centre and the Santana theme park with a mix of Madeiran history, tradition and culture, are sure to keep children of all ages entertained for hours.
For families interested in a longer stay, the two international schools the British School of Madeira and International School of Madeira compliment a range of state primary and secondary schools.
Palheiro Village, overlooking the capital city of Funchal, provides the prefect place to explore the delights of Madeira. Or, to take in the sweeping views of the ocean and relax at the pool bar while the children enjoy swimming in the Village Forum pool.
Both long and short stays are possible with villas and apartments available to rent or buy.
A family sized three-bedroom villa, with well designed indoor/outdoor flow to terraces overlooking the ocean, is available for €690,000.
Fully furnished villas are available to rent from €1,450 per week, providing the perfect family holiday for all ages.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is one of the best Personal finance book of all time. The book was written by Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. The book was published in the year 1997.
Here are some of the famous quotes from the book 'Rich Dad Poor Dad':
"Education is more valuable than money, in the long run."
"If you own a butcher shop, don't hire vegetarians. To hire the right people, you have to let the wrong people go."
"A mistake is a signal that it is time to learn something new, something you don't know before."
"Often in the real world, it's not the smart who get ahead, but the bold."
"Unfortunately for many people school is the end, not the beginning."
"A winning strategy must include losing."
"I have found that the more I teach those who want to learn, the more I learn."
"If you are not a brand, you are a commodity."
"Words are tools for the brain. Words allow the brain to see what the eyes cannot see."
"The trouble with school is they give you the answer, then they give you the exam. That's not life."
"Failure inspires winners. And failure defeats losers. It is the biggest secret of winners. It's the secret that losers do not know. The greatest secret of winners is that failure inspires winning; thus, they're not afraid of losing."
"In today's fast-changing world, it's not so much what you know anymore that counts, because often what you know is old. It is how fast you learn. That skill is priceless."
"A plan is a bridge to your dreams. Your job is to make the plan or bridge real, so that your dreams will become real. If all you do is stand on the side of the bank and dream of the other side, your dreams will forever be just dreams. First make your plans real and then your dreams will come true."
"Always start at the end before you begin. Professional investors always have an exit strategy before they invest. Knowing your exit strategy is an important investment fundamental."
"As long as you blame someone or something else – something outside you that's bigger than you are – as the source of your problems, the problems won't get solved."
"Business is like a wheel barrow. Nothing happens until you start pushing."
"Complaining about your current position in life is worthless. Have a spine and do something about it instead."
"Cynics and fools are twins on the opposite sides of reality and possibility. Fools will believe any far fetched scheme and a cynic will criticize anything outside their reality. A cynic's reality does not allow anything new in and a fool's reality does not have the ability to keep foolish ideas out."
"Don't be addicted to money. Work to learn. Don't work for money. Work for knowledge."
"Excuses cost a dime and that's why the poor could afford a lot of it."
"Getting rich begins with the right mindset, the right words and the right plan."
"If you are moving, even fire will not hurt you. If you are standing still near the fire, even though you are not in the fire, the heat will eventually get to you."
"If you avoid failure, you also avoid success."
"If you realize that you're the problem, then you can change yourself, learn something and grow wiser. Don't blame other people for your problems."
"If you want to be rich, simply serve more people."
"If you want to go somewhere, it is best to find someone who has already been there."
"In the real world, the smartest people are people who make mistakes and learn. In school, the smartest people don't make mistakes."
"In today's rapidly changing world, the people who are not taking risk are the risk takers."
"Investing in mutual funds is investing at the end of the food chain."
"It's easier to stand on the sidelines, criticize, and say why you shouldn't do something. The sidelines are crowded. Get in the game."
"It's more important to grow your income than cut your expenses. It's more important to grow your spirit that cut your dreams
"It's not what you say out of your mouth that determines your life,it's what you whisper to yourself that has the most power!"
"Leverage is the reason some people become rich and others do not become rich."
"Losers quit when they fail. Winners fail until they succeed."
"Most people spend their lives building financial houses of straws, which are susceptible to wind, fire, rain and big bad wolves."
"One of the great things about being willing to try new things and make mistakes is that making mistakes keeps you humble. People who are humble learn more than people who are arrogant."
"One of the most stupid things to do is to pretend you are smart. When you pretend to be smart, you are at the height of stupidity."
"You can always quit, so why quit now."
"When employees unite, they form a union but when business owners unite, they form a team."
"People without leverage work for those with leverage."
"Sight is what you see with your eyes, vision is what you see with your mind."
"Start small and dream big."
"Starting a business is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. In mid air, the entrepreneur begins building a parachute and hopes it opens before hitting the ground."
"Success is a poor teacher. We learn the most about ourselves when we fail, so dont be afraid of failing"
"Successful people ask questions. They seek new teachers. They're always learning."
It is your self doubt and your laziness that defines and limit who you are."
"The fear of being different prevents most people from seeking new ways to solve their problems."
"The most important word in the world of money is cash flow. The second most important word is leverage."
"The most life destroying word of all is the word tomorrow."
"The only difference between a rich person and poor person is how they use their time"
"The philosophy of the rich and the poor is this: the rich invest their money and spend what is left. The poor spend their money and invest what is left."
"Tomorrow only exist in the mind of dreamers and losers."
"The rich are those who play to win. The middle class plays not to lose."
"The richest people in the world build networks; everyone else is trained to look for work."
"The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind. If it is trained well, it can create enormous wealth in what seems to be an instant."
"The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire, the size of your dream and how you handle disappointment along the way."
"There are fast ideas and slow ideas, just as there are fast trains and slow trains. When it comes to money, most people are on the slow train looking out the window watching the fast train pass them by. If you want to become rich quickly, your plan must include fast ideas."
"There are no bad business and investment opportunities, but there are bad entrepreneurs and investors."
"There are no mistakes in life, just learning opportunities."
"Thinking is hard work. When you are forced to think, you expand your mental capacity. When you expand your mental capacity, your wealth increases."
"To be a successful business owner and investor, you have to be emotionally neutral to winning and losing. Winning and losing are just part of the game."
"Too many people are too lazy to think. Instead of learning something new, they think the same thought day in day out."
"What you think is real is your reality."
"When I started my last business, I didn't receive a paycheck for 13 months. The average person can't handle that pressure."
"When you come to the boundaries of what you know, it is time to make some mistakes."
"Workers work hard enough to not be fired, and owners pay just enough so that workers won't quit."
"You can't take care of charity unless you take care of yourself first."
"In order to be a player on the fast track, you will need to have a plan on how to gain more and more control. On the fast track, it is control more than money that counts."
"The ability to sell is the number one skill in business. If you cannot sell, don't bother thinking about becoming a business owner."

lorian on BJ Penn's next move: "It's never easy to retire. For BJ, I can relate. But he's got to find his identity outside of the Octagon."
LOS ANGELES, CA – UFC TONIGHT was hosted by Kenny Florian and guest host Tyron Woodley, with Karyn Bryant adding reports.
UFC TONIGHT guest host Tyron Woodley on defending his title against Demian Maia at UFC 214: "I'll be taking on backpack, backpack. Demian Maia and I will be fighting on July 29. I've been training. He's coming for the belt and guess what, I'm not giving it up easy. I've been training, cutting those ankles, so I can lift that head up. I know he's going to go for the legs and will try to put me down and work his jiu-jitsu game. I'll be very prepared. I'm excited to defend my belt."
VIDEO: BREAKING: Tyron Woodley confirms that he'll defend his welterweight title vs. Demian Maia at #UFC214! Details here:
UFC TONIGHT host Kenny Florian on Kevin Lee's defeat of Michael Chiesa: "Kevin really impressed me with his wrestling. He took down Chiesa and controlled him well. Chiesa is a tough guy to take down. He looked very sharp. He maintained his composure and got the win."
Florian on who he'd like to see Lee fight next: "Dustin Poirier should be next for Kevin Lee. I'd like him to move a little slower up the rankings. Poirier has a lot of experience and is good all over. If he beats that guy, it'll set him up for a guy in the top five."
Woodley on who Lee should fight next: "I commend him for what he's trying to do to fight Tony Ferguson. To be the best you have to fight the best. I like the fight against Tony. We saw the interview. How they went back and forth. I'd like to see that."
VIDEO: Kevin Lee's now the No. 7 lightweight in the world. Who should he fight next? We've got some options…
Kevin Lee's now the No. 7 lightweight in the world. Who should he fight next? We've got some options… https://t.co/IuDHnZYhV5
— FOX Sports: UFC (@UFCONFOX) June 28, 2017
Florian on Lee and Ferguson's interview: "For a 24 year old, I thought Kevin handled himself very well. He's got skills in the Octagon but he's got skills on the mic, as well. He was talking about how people underestimate how smart he is. I think he proved he's a smart cat."
Florian on BJ Penn's next move: "It's never easy to retire. For BJ, I can relate to it. When I retired, it was difficult. But he's got to find his identity outside of the Octagon. It's not always an easy thing. For BJ, he wants greatness, and I don't know if his body can perform at that level."
Woodley on Johny Hendricks' current skid: "This is a tough division. He's been in a lot of really close fights. The level of competition is high. This is not the Johny we remember. Something is going on with him internally, maybe it's the camp, losing the restaurant, or something else that's carrying over to the Octagon."
Florian on Francis Ngannou fighting Junior Dos Santos: "I think it's a good matchup for Francis is a striker. We haven't seen him against a high level wrestler yet. This is a fight that's going to deliver. You go out there and beat JDS and you show you are for real."
Woodley on Conor McGregor's sparing partners preparing for Floyd Mayweather: "If I was him and his coaches, I'd have him sparring three – four times a week. Drilling and technique. One person in front of you throwing combinations, where you're just defending and getting the muscle repetition."
Florian on what McGregor needs to prepare for: "Conor started as an amateur boxer originally. It'll come down to him finding that pacing for three-minute rounds. Being able to go 12 rounds is important for him."
Woodley on what would be a moral victory for McGregor against Floyd: "If McGregor can capture 2-3 or 4 rounds and last for 12 rounds, in my mind he won."
Florian on what would be a moral victory for McGregor against Floyd: "Winning a few rounds would be a big statement. Hurting Floyd would be big for him too. But Conor won't settle for just winning a few rounds. He believes he's going to beat Floyd."
Woodley on the fight he's most excited for in the next quarter: "I'll say Cormier vs. Jones 2 – this is one of the strongest rivalries we've ever seen in the UFC. I think they're both motivated for this. Jones is motivated by emotion. Cormier, this is his next chapter, to beat the only one who's ever beaten him. He's so mentally tough."
Florian on the Cormier vs. Jones rivalry: "Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones, these are two of the best fighters I've ever seen. These guys don't like each other. Their first fight was awesome and this will be even better. They'll bring out the best in each other. Cormier, this is all he thinks about. He doesn't like to lose. Jones is the only one guy who's beaten him. They really bring out the best in each other."

Xiaofeng Yang
PhD Student
Office Location
440 Huntington Avenue
208 West Village H
Boston, MA 02115
- BEng, Tsinghua University – China
- BS in Mathematics, Tsinghua University – China
About Me
- Hometown: Jilin, China
- Field of Study: Database Systems and Data Mining
- PhD Advisor: Mirek Riedewald
Xiaofeng Yang is a PhD student in the Database Systems and Data Mining programs at Northeastern University's Khoury College of Computer Sciences, advised by Professor Mirek Riedewald. She is currently working on graph sampling on social networks and its application on distributed database systems. In 2013, Xiaofeng received her bachelor's degree in mathematics and engineering from Tsinghua University in China.
What are your research interests?
I work on efficient and interactive algorithms to support top-k searches on large scale social networks. Such networks are information-rich, containing graph structure (how users are connected), attributes and tags. My thesis topic is about using this information to provide faster and more precise answers to data mining questions, and prove a low cost of prioritizing the most relevant answers.
What aspect of what you do is most interesting?
I find it fascinating that based on simple assumptions, I can prove bounds showing that searching interactively can be done cost-efficiently. This can potentially change how pattern-search applications are currently implemented in large networks.
What are your research or career goals, going forward?
I will further study techniques to improve graph search performance in the future. It will be exciting to look at the problem from both the theoretical aspect and the system aspect. In addition to developing algorithms and testing them in experimental settings, I would also want to push the algorithms into real-world products, see how well they deal with unexpected and practical challenges, and solve new problems from there.

Inventor of the Modern
Our Retail Price:£12.99Add to Basket
Though Tesla's inventions transformed our world, his true originality is shown in the visionary ambitions he failed to achieve.
Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American, invented the radio, the induction motor, the neon lamp and the remote control. His breakthrough came in alternating current, which pitted him against Thomas Edison's direct current empire and bitter patent battles ensued. But Tesla's technology was superior and he prevailed. He had no business sense, could not capitalise on this success and his most advanced ideas were unrecognised for decades.
Tesla's personal life was magnificently bizarre. Strikingly handsome, he was germophobic and never shook hands. He required nine napkins when he sat down to dinner. In later years he ate only white food and conversed with the pigeons in Bryant Park. This authoritative and highly readable biography takes account of all phases of this remarkable life.
"Munson makes vivid the genius's eventful life, from his mother's inspirational labour-saving inventions to his psychological complexity — and his estimable belief that "technology should transcend the marketplace"." — Nature
"Munson tells the story engagingly. He manages to explain the important concepts and technical details clearly while keeping extraneous detail to a minimum." — Times Literary Supplement
"Richard Munson's Tesla: Inventor of the Modern gives us a detailed and vivid glimpse of the competitive world of electrical innovation at the end of the 19th century, and emphasises the duality of his subject... most interesting and often amusing book..." — The Spectator
"... a superbly researched, entertaining and often saddening study of a man who gave the world so much yet took so little... It can only be hoped that Munson's excellent insight will finally reveal the truth behind this marvellous maverick to the world." — All About History

Flight to Toronto departs at 11:10.
It's 11:03 … Coach Mike and I are standing in line at security.
He turns to me and says, "If they close the door, they are legally not allowed to open it again."
Ugh …
11:04 – A sweet old woman taking her shoes off in slow motion in front of us.
11:05 – Filling up the tray.
11:06 – Putting our shoes, jackets and belts back on with the speed of a pit crew.
11:07 – Check the board, our plane is at the very last gate … 3 … 2 … 1 … GO!!!
11:10 – After a sprint through people, luggage, strollers, and those airport golf carts, we make it to the plane seconds before they close the door.
Any slower and we wouldn't have made it.
"Good thing we work out." <—— Coach Mike
It seems silly, but it's absolutely true!
You have to use your fitness outside of the gym to appreciate it sometimes.
Last weekend, we had Halers doing a competition:
A workout at the track:
And swimming from Alcatraz to SF:
You train hard at the gym so you can do things OUTSIDE of the gym.
What was the last thing you did that made you think, "I'm glad I work out!"?
Comment and let me know.
Coach "airport sprinter" Jay
P.S. – Shoutout to Kenny for his first "outside comp" in Antioch and our "Escape from Alcatraz" crew for surviving the sharks.
Saturday, October 5: Guest Day at Hale
All levels welcome. 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. Please arrive early to sign a waiver if this is your first class!
October 10 – November 11: CrossFit Games Open
With the new format of the CrossFit Games, this will be the first time the Open is held in fall (these results lead to the 2020 season).
We will do the Open WOD in Friday class each week. The workouts will be announced on Thursday afternoons, and we may update the weekend's programming to adjust!
Expect: a fun chance to THROW DOWN on a "Perform" WOD each Friday. One of these should be a repeat (re-TEST!) of one you've done in the past. We will not be tracking points with Early Birds versus Night Owls, but you will have a fun time competing with yourself and your swolemates. Get it!
Registration online is optional.
P.s.—There are a few skills we are likely to see in the Open:
- Overhead squats!
- Advanced gymnastics: bar muscle-ups, muscle-ups, chest-to-bar pull-ups, toes-to-bars.
- Double-unders.
- STRICT gymnastics: handstand push-ups, pull-ups, etc.
You'll see some of these more frequently in the programming, but if you're looking to brush up, now would be a great time to schedule a few skills sessions. Email email@example.com to set these up!
Workouts for the Week
A. Every minute on the minute for 10 rounds:
3 push jerks
(from the rack)
Note weight on last 3 sets.
This is NOT a max out. Add weight as you go. Aim is HEAVY but SOLID. Consider this a warm-up and prep for part B.
B. 3 rounds for time:
500-m row
15 push jerks 135/95
Classic couplet of a pull and push–legs will likely feel a little fatigued here. Do your best to stick the landing.
Push jerks should be done in no more than 2-3 sets—choose a weight you can move effectively and try to keep your composure! 15 is kind of a lot.
8 … OK, fine …
10 … this is starting to hurt …
15 … keep your head with it!
(Note: these will now be from the ground.)
A. Back squat: warm up to last week's 5-rep weight.
Every 2 min for 10 rounds (20 mins!)
3 back squats at 75-80% of 1RM
This is a bit more volume than last week—aim to match or SLIGHTLY exceed the weight you used for the fives. An extra 5-10 lb. should do it!
B. Every minute on the minute for 10 minutes:
8 burpees
20 double-unders
You've gotta MOVE to hit this under a minute. You've gotta HOLD ON to make it through 10. If you miss a minute, take one off, then start again!
Score is # of minutes you make it through!
A. Warm-up:
3 rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
Rest 2 minutes
Each effort should get faster. Start at conversational pace, take it up a notch, and then push the pace.
20-min. cap (leave for your last round by 15 min.)
B. 15 min. for quality:
1 strict muscle-up OR 3-5 strict pull-ups
–30-s rest–
5 strict DB press
OR 3 x STRICT HSPU
Or 3 negatives
30-s rest
C. Mobility
Shoulder rotator smash
Deltoid smash
"Open Workout 11.2"
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
9 deadlifts (155/105)
12 push-ups
15 box jumps (24/20)
Deadlifts: (135/95)
Keep a steady cadence to start—build through the last 5 minutes if you have steam! The Open LOOOOOVES these painful 12-15-minute workouts. We've done this one a few times in the 12 days of CF, most recently on 12/3/18.
You get it now … It's my fav 🙂
"Tabata Partay"
Tabata dumbbell hang squat clean (40/25)
Rest 2 minutes
Tabata toes-to-bars
Rest 2 minutes
Tabata dumbbell thrusters
The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for eight intervals. Tabata score is the LEAST number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals.
Rx+: 50/35
5 rounds for time:
25 box jump-overs 24/20
25 kettlebell swings (53/35)
400-m run
This one is a long one! Track your splits and try to keep pace on both the box jump-overs and the run!
This should be doable in 20-25 minutes, no problem. If you need to scale back the run to something you can do without slowing down … do it! Goal is to have a little room to push in the last 2 rounds.
"Dae Han"
Three rounds of:
Run 800 m with a 45/35-lb. plate
3 rope climbs
12 thrusters (135/95)
That burden run, tho! Gonna be a good one. Take your time with the other movements to minimize the number of times you pick up the bar 🙂
This is a hero WOD … we're modifying JUST A BIT, because running with a barbell with telephone poles is … sketchy.

Hey guys! Long time no talk! Hey I had a question! I am no longer driving and am now curious as to how those of you who still eat so much fruit but don't drive acquire all the fruit! I know 7hotdates.com is a great site to order dates from, but are there others, especially for other kinds of fruit, and reasonably priced? I found one for oranges but seems very pricey. Otherwise what are some tips to gathering/hauling without a car? I'm not terribly close to a grocery store with high quality fruit. I am in Maine and winter is coming. Ubering with huge cases of bananas, etc. seems a little silly. Definitely interested in your thoughts! Thanks guys!
Views: 263
Can you put details on your uber request? Like, "I need a ride from the grocery store, me and a few bags of groceries". That should give you enough room for a box of bananas.
I have seen these new online home delivery options, never tried them.
Hmmmm maybe!

Mostly passing along a link to an article sent to me by my new friend, Jamie.
I am not a fan of the "Obama-is-eloquent-but-inexperienced" argument. On a private blog, I compared him to Abraham Lincoln a couple of times, not because I had given any thought to it, but simply to debunk the aforementioned line of argument.
This LINK takes it several steps further, and since Obama discussions seem to strike a nerve on the Hippos, I thought it might shake us out of our doldrums.

In "Did Marine officer push too hard?" [Opinion, July 24], columnist Cathy Young compares apples and oranges. Our society has become too preoccupied with women trying to be men and men trying to be women.
A Marine Corps commanding officer, Lt. Col. Kate Germano, was fired, allegedly for trying to increase equality between male and female Marines. Germano correctly argued that if the male Marines don't have chairs to sit on, neither should the females. If only 7 percent of the men failed at the rifle range and 21 percent of the women did, she found that unacceptable. In a year, she raised the female standard of qualification from 79 percent to 91 percent! If you want equality, then earn equality.
However, the column still does not address that in the world where physical effort is critical for success, men and women are not equal. Marines train to save our lives, as do police officers and firefighters. They must be held to higher, rigid and equal standards. Do you want the one who can't lift you, nor drag you to safety?
If women want equality, then earn equality. That means there should be no shorter distances, lighter weights or any compensation for them being women.

I'm now quite behind on this blog, but I don't think anyone's reading, so that's ok. And if you are reading, you probably don't know my calender, so I'll pretend this is a recent gig. One better, I'll pretend this is a gig from the future.
In the future, I will go to Scroobius Pip's tour at the Nest in London.
Ok, let's not do that. On with the actual review/whatever the hell this blog is.
The venue was fine, not the best one I've been to. Ok, I've only been to one gig there, and I have a feeling the atmosphere is a lot better if it's packed out. Unfortunately, though there were people, it wasn't teeming, which was a shame. The gig I went to was an extra date, added 'cos the first one sold out.
The gig itself was fine, but not the best Pip gig I've been to. Though, that was the 24th time I've seen Pip, so ya'know. It was pretty cool, because it wasn't really a Pip show, it was a Speech Development Records tour, (Pip's label). So there were loads of guests, and Pip was essentially just hosting.
The first guest was PolarBear, an amazing spoken word artist, from Birmingham. What I love about his work, as well as the content, is the delivery. Polarbear's inspiration seems to come from a lot of hip-hop, and when he speaks, you can hear the rhythm echo those hip-hop roots. This melded with intricate and personal lyrics, and a distinctive brummie accent, you have one spine-tingling poet.
Warrenpeace were the next act. Made up of hip-hop producer and DJ, Buddy Peace, and guitarist/producer/genral cool guy Warren Borg, or as he's often known, 'Worgie'. Over the summer these guys released their single 'Hungry' (and I was totally in the video, but that's beside the point (it's really not)), and then dropped their album later in the year. Their music is dirty, guitar-y, and kinda heavy. A good band to see live.
The 'headliner' in this talented, musical event thing, was a guy called B.Dolan. B is known primarily as a rapper/spoken word artist. His music deals with a range of subjects, from the death of Russell Jones (Ol' Dirty Bastrd, one of the founding members of the Wu Tang Clan) to Agoraphobia, to police brutality. The last one brings us onto one of B's other passions. He's also an activist, and co-founder the site knowmore.org, a site that tells consumers social responsibility information about corporations. He is passionate about a range of issues, and was recently interviewed by Russell Brand on the 'Trews'. This episode is well worth a watch even if you're not a fan of Brand.
The evening itself was pretty good, as mentioned above, it wasn't my favorite Pip-esque night, but it was fun. I do have a bit of a confession about the photos though. This gig was almost straight after Billy Idol, where I managed to get some pretty decent photos, thanks to the brilliant lighting. However, one thing The Nest doesn't have is great lights. They essentially had two small red lights, one ultra violet light, and a blue light *shudders*. So, all the photos came out terrible. This is why I've uploaded a compilation of photos of the bands mentioned above from other events – most of the photos are from Pip and Polarbear's (and Kate Tempest) spoken word set at Camp Bestival, the others are from Bestival and Pip's solo album tour in 2011. Hope you enjoy 'em.

The name "big" in big data can be off-putting for small to medium-sized business (SMBs). In a leveled playing ground, big businesses should not be monopolizing big data. Many midsize companies erroneously believe that big data is out of their reach and do not fully appreciate the game-changing potential and its attainability.
SMBs see big data as an exclusive source of empowerment for large enterprises to glean a better insight economy. When it comes to big data, SMBs feel sidelined and out of the game. So what is the relationship between big data and small business? Big data is part of a larger umbrella of Infrastructure-as-a-Service.
Progressive-minded SMBs blend technology and business acumen to carve out market niches, invent new revenue streams and boost business ROI channel-ways in bid to outpace competitors. Big data is a technology-enabler, so why have SMBs failed to migrate over? According to an SMB market research study, only 18% of small business use analytic-focused framework to add business intelligence. What has made big data a largely untapped market for SMBs is that business owners believe that a capital-intensive venture will not bring the necessary ROI to justify the associated costs.
Midsized organizations know that getting the right mission-critical information at the right time can pay major dividends. They also know that efforts to retool should be accelerated in light of a data-driven approach. So why have SMBs been so cautious when it comes to integrating big data and postpone it?
The defensive attitude to switch-over has taken shape on multiple front-lines. On the first frontline, a general principle is that businesses fear what they do not know. This truism is intensified for SMBs, who see themselves as more vulnerable to market shock-waves and downturns. The volatility of the marketplace and their inability to withstand drastic turns makes SMBs more naturally risk-averse. Mid-size companies struggle to make sense of disconnected information silos.
With emerging technology trends, SMBs have a difficult time keeping up and most do not have in-house data scientists to clarify. With limited resources, important question like which IT projects are worth investing into are discussed in the conference room. Without the right guidance, companies do not know what to onboard and what to leave. Big data is a transformative infrastructural shift that will help equip you for different paradigm shifts. At Fidelity IT Solutions, our IT consulting services we will help you make the right choices with your budget in mind.
Secondly, according to SMB group studies, integrating new technologies is the number one challenge for midsized businesses. There is a serious disconnect that undermines big data adoption, which results in productivity drains, predisposed to enterprise-wide inaccuracies and the absence of concrete data streams to support decision making. SMBs are opting to go for pre-integrated software suite that brings together diverging applications and put them all under one umbrella.
The need to unify reliable data lies at the base of all solid analytics and reporting. Vendors are catering to SMBs, such as Microsoft Office 365, which improves productivity, saves time and empowers midmarket organizations to make better decisions. Vendors are proactively targeting SMBs by making huge strides in user-friendly interfaces and cognitive computing that is aimed at increasing adopter rates of big data. With vendors raising the bar and looking to capture the SMB markets, midsized business can now take advantage of big data-accessible speed, customer proximity and new insights by uncovering data trends and patterns.
The third impediment is that businesses have not explored their own internal business sensors to see if they are big data-ready. SMBs must realize that big data presents a lot of opportunities, and helps in your ability to analyze and gain a better insight economy. Locate where your data streams, both inflowing and outflowing, are coming from.
Determine hierarchies and priorities, and layout the applications; determine social connections and social media presence; and business activities that you use on a day-to-day basis to regulate data streams. Map them out and show how they affect your business. The last step is to focus on your clientèle. IT focuses on automating and creating pathways in the back-end to ensure connectivity, system integrity and reliability, so you don't have to. By keying-in on customer demands and concerns, you can ensure that data provides real-time value so that a big data ecosystem can further improve on current customer relations.

Have always been scared of losing your cars?
Presently the rate of car theft in Ogun State has increased due to some reasons, and if your car is not adequately secured, it may fall, a victim.
Imagine if you can save and tame the vehicles of you and your beloved ones? Have you also wished that you can always monitor your location whenever you drove to a place you know nothing about? Are you still in pain because you couldn't help the Nigeria Police Force in their search of your lost vehicles?
Do you know that there are many causes of car theft in Ogun State and we are to list out some of the reasons for car theft and they include:
Major Causes of Car Thefts
Car theft is no longer a piece of new news in Nigeria, and for this reason, it will be of good help to know the reasons why car thieves will always want to steal your newly bought car or the old car you value so much.
1. High Demand Of Certain Car Parts:
Demand in some of the parts of a vehicle is always high, so for this case, smart thieves will steal the car, strip down all of the components in high demand and then sell them to used auto parts.
2. Demand For Specific Cars:
Take, for instance, Toyota Corolla is highly demanded in Nigeria. What smart car thieves do is that they steal these high demand cars and change the plate number and repaint the vehicle which would make it so unidentified by its owner, and then they sell them quickly to unsuspecting buyers.
3. Car Theft Syndicates From Other Countries:
Cars are stolen from a different country and then sold out in another country by car theft Syndicates. And this is quickly done and perfected by car thieves because of poor communication between African Police.
All of these reasons why your car is stolen is shocking right?
So, therefore, the best way you can secure your is by installing a good car tracking device. At this point, I am going to show you in this article, the best company in Nigeria that can secure your car for you, all you have to do is read on.

JJ Watt Was Completely Ready To Sub Into The Houston Rockets Game (Video)
There are very few physical skills JJ Watt doesn't possess -- as evidenced by his tackling and pass-catching abilities.
And in case you thought his talent was reserved solely for the football field, well, you probably didn't watch the Houston Rockets game Monday night.
If you did, you would've seen Watt in a number 99 Rockets jersey on the sideline next to James Harden, fully prepared to join the bearded one on the court.
The Houston Texans defensive end ripped off his hat and had the same look of intensity he shows when he's about to rip a quarterback's head off, but lucky for the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Rockets' opponent, Watt didn't end up in the action.
I have no doubt he would've held the Thunder to zero points if he did play.

My thoughts exactly.My guess is people who have to money to buy stuff simply because they can. It is a cool little idea, but personally, I will not be wasting my time or money.
Some people here seem happy and mention how great of an idea this is. But the way I see it is that (and I'm BOTH PC and console gamer) they want console gamers to jump to "PC gaming" (which really wouldn't be PC gaming anymore) and promote PC game development.
But console gamers will still buy their consoles. They want their Zelda, God of War, and the bunch of other games that will never see light outside of consoles.
PC gamers will still stick to their PCs. I can hardly see someone who's all into WoW, Starcraft, Dragon Age, and Skyrim drop the advantages that their keyboard and mouse bring for some console-PC hybrid thing with a fancy controller.
On an unrelated note, I'm looking forward to Wii U.

Imagine an opportunity to experience and train with authentic surgical experiences, within arms-reach…
That possibility is available now. Using a low-cost, compact plug-and-play platform which runs on everyday hardware. And a no-nonsense SaaS-based software licence.
Fundamental Surgery is powered by our proprietary Surgical Haptic Intelligence Engine ™. SHIE ™ technology generates incredibly authentic surgical touch experiences in VR.
So it feels like you are really doing surgery.
If you look to the future, it's clear – surgical simulation will allow surgeons all over the world to practice their skills safety, conveniently and cost-effectively. Which has the potential to enhance technical skill, leading to improved patient outcomes.
VR is increasingly embraced as the most efficient and cost-effective method for surgical training. With so many offerings though, what sets the standards by which these can be measured, and evaluated?
So, obviously, there's authenticity. Looking for simulation procedures that have been inspired and guided throughout by a panel of senior clinicians.
Then there's the graphical quality of each procedure's visualisation. The look, feel and sounds of a real OR.
But above all, it's simulation haptics that feeds-back a tactile sense of bone, ligament, and tissue. The distinguishing characteristics of surgical tools. It delivers such an immersive sensation that it is possible to build genuine muscle-memory through practice.
That's the unique combination of VR simulation and SHIE ™ technology that Fundamental Surgery delivers.

Darling sister's lab is a location in the Forest region of Appalachia in 2103. It can be found southwest of Groves family cabin and north of Tyler County fairgrounds.
Overlooking Route 81 from the rocky ridge, this collection of shacks was once the site of a major drug operation.
There are four main shacks here as well as a metal trailer with a chemistry station inside. Various pieces of science equipment for making chems can be found throughout the location while the brightly-lit shack contains a locked safe (Picklock 3). The northeastern shack has a tinker's workbench inside.

For the outro I animated an infographic presentation showing the various findings.

CDC Investigating Listeria Outbreak Linked to Deli-Sliced Meats and CheesesThursday, April 25, 2019
(North American Meat Institute)
CDC Investigating Listeria Outbreak Linked to Deli-Sliced Meats and Cheeses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is investigating a multistate outbreak of Listeria infections linked to deli-sliced meats and cheeses. Eight people have reportedly been infected and hospitalized across four states (Michigan, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania) and one death has been reported from Michigan. The affected individuals report eating different types and brands of product, including meats and cheeses purchased from and sliced at deli counters in multiple retail locations. A single, common supplier of deli products has not been identified.
There were two cases reported in early 2019, and the other six were reported from November 2016 to February 2018. During an initial investigation of three cases in March 2017, there was not enough information to determine the source of the outbreak. However, information from the two recent cases, in addition to the outbreak strain found in deli meat and deli counters, has now provided enough information to link the outbreak to deli-sliced products.
CDC is not advising that consumers avoid deli meats or that retailers stop selling deli-sliced products, but consumers are advised to clean refrigerators, kitchen countertops, utensils and other surfaces that come into contact with deli-sliced products. Retailers should frequently clean and sanitize deli slicers and other areas that come into contact with deli products.
The Meat Institute is working closely with CDC and other agencies to learn more about the outbreak and its cause.share on facebook share on twitter

The Amazing Amount of Gold Exported by the US
As the price of gold surged along with the massive increase in U.S. debt, gold exports jumped to record highs. In 2012 alone, the United States exported nearly 700 metric tons of gold. While the U.S. exported nearly 8,000 metric tons (mt) of gold since 2001, it also imported a great deal as well. Thus, we arrive at a "net export" figure by subtracting gold imports from gold exports. During the past 17 years, there were only four years where the U.S. imported more gold than it exported. However, U.S. gold net exports were the mainstay as a staggering 2,340 mt of gold were shipped abroad, as pointed out by analyst Steve Angelo in a recent column. If we look at the chart below, U.S. gold net exports picked up during the 2007-2008 U.S. Housing and Investment Banking collapse: The total amount of U.S. net gold exports over the past 17 years equaled the combined gold reserves of six high ranking countries – The majority of U.S. gold exports were shipped to Switzerland, the U.K., and Hong Kong. These three destinations received more than 80% of U.S. gold exports during the 17-year period, but these are not the final destination of our gold, as global gold purchases we discussed in article, shows the final destination of our gold. When the U.S. Dollar will lose its world reserve status, Americans are going to wish that they held onto their gold instead of sending it overseas, ending up mostly in China and India.

Santa Barbara's Premier Cannabis Dispensary Coastal Opens Its Doors
On Thursday, the first premier luxury cannabis dispensary to serve the Central Coast will celebrate its grand opening in downtown Santa Barbara with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by community and industry leaders. Coastal is a premium retail cannabis brand based in Santa Barbara with plans to expand into communities across California over the next year. Coastal earned the top score in Santa Barbara City's competitive, merit-based license application process, which is now emerging as a model for cities nationwide.
Coastal built its first state-of-the-art cannabis dispensary opening today in a 6,000 square foot facility with the sleek and active feel of a luxury retail store. "As a vertically integrated, retail focused cannabis company, we are excited to be a leader in ensuring that the legal cannabis industry in Santa Barbara is the gold standard for California and beyond," said Julian Michalowski, CEO of Coastal. "As one of the only dispensaries in the region, we take our responsibility of stewardship seriously. We believe in the importance of working together as an industry and are committed to being a thoughtful, trusted, and responsible community partner," Michalowski added.
Coastal currently employs 50 team members in Santa Barbara with well-paying jobs and benefits. The company plans to grow to over 100 employees in the region by the end of the year. Coastal is currently building their delivery, distribution, and manufacturing hub in downtown Santa Barbara, along with a delivery location in San Luis Obispo and a retail dispensary with delivery in Lompoc.
"We are focused on highlighting the importance of a healthy, happy, and active lifestyle and will strive to foster this in all aspects of our operations—from our company culture to the products we sell," said Devon Wardlow, Director of Public Affairs of Coastal. "We are creating a culture that promotes an active lifestyle while staying attuned to the recreational activities unique to our community. Coastal is committed to highlighting the importance of a healthy, happy lifestyle in all communities that we serve," Wardlow added.
Coastal has developed a tailored menu of the top cannabis brands of California and will be manufacturing their own line of local cannabis products at their additional facility in downtown Santa Barbara. "Our diverse inventory ensures that all customers—whether new or experienced—will find the products that they are looking for in an environment focused on service and education," notes Malante Hayworth, Chief Operating Officer of Coastal. Coastal products will be available in its stores as well as in dispensaries across the state.
Committed to being an engaged community partner, Coastal has created an employee community service and philanthropic donations program, Coastal Cares. Today, Coastal announced local participating non-profits, Unity Shoppe and PATH. "We are thrilled to be working with such exceptional local groups that are addressing some of the most pressing needs in our community," explained Wardlow.
Coastal's Community Engagement Ambassador, Kenny Loggins, renowned musician and longtime Santa Barbara resident, highlights Coastal's commitment to community service, "I have been continuously impressed by Coastal's leadership and passion for uplifting the Santa Barbara community. The launch of Coastal Cares, with such strong local non-profits as, Unity Shoppe and PATH, is a great step in ensuring that the community as a whole benefits from the legal cannabis market."
As part of employment at Coastal, all team members participate in our "Coastal Cares" program. Team members will participate in quarterly community service engagements through Coastal Cares. Coastal will compensate team members the same as if they worked a normal day. Additionally, Coastal will support their teams' efforts through monetary donations as part of Coastal's commitment to donating 2% of net profits back into the community.
"It will be our pleasure to host Coastal team members who will come to volunteer on a regular basis at our Family Services Center. Coastal's strong commitment to community engagement and ensuring that the needs of those within are community are met, is admirable. We are excited to have the opportunity to participate in the Coastal Cares program and look forward to getting to know the wonderful team member-volunteers of Coastal!" notes Elvira Avina, Administrative Director of Unity Shoppe.
"PATH is grateful to Coastal for supporting our mission to help individuals, families and communities end their homelessness," explains, John "JB" Bowlin, Associate Director at PATH. "As part of our work in Santa Barbara, PATH partners with local businesses like Coastal to create volunteer opportunities for employees that allow them to engage on civic issues and give back to their community. We are thankful for Coastal encouraging their team to donate their time for volunteering at PATH and we look forward to a fruitful and rewarding partnership," Bowlin added.
Santa Barbara is at the forefront of the nation's legal cannabis industry, making Coastal's launch an important marker in shaping its future in the region. Josh Ginsberg, Coastal's Chief Strategy Officer, heralded today's opening saying, "the Coastal team has built its business to be finely attuned to the community's needs and concerns while innovating what it means to be a cannabis dispensary. It's really exciting to see them leading by example and usher in this new chapter." Ginsberg is the co-founder of the Colorado-based Native Roots Dispensary Group, one of the largest legal cannabis production and distribution companies in the world.
To celebrate the opening today, Coastal will be hosting an official ribbon-cutting ceremony with the community at 3pm PST at its Santa Barbara location at 1019 Chapala Street and hold events for the general public with promotions through Sunday.

Midi skirts had everyone wanting in on the trend in the warmer months — and it's easy to see why. Whether they're pencil style or a classic A-line shape, the midi skirt takes femininity to the max.
With the winter chill creeping in, it's time to pack away some of our favourite summer trends. But don't worry, one of the many reasons we love midi skirts is that they work double duty in summer and winter. Winning!
The midi skirt is popular for so many reasons: it's incredibly flattering and forgiving, it slims and trims all manner of lumps and bumps, and best of all every body shape can wear it — but you may have to try on a few styles before you find your midi skirt match!
We've put together 5 of our favorite midi skirt outfits, so you can rock this look all week long. Get ready for some serious winter fashion inspiration!
Midi skirt paired with a polo neck
The polo neck is a classic winter staple that every woman has in her cupboard. But you don't have to only wear it with jeans — it's way more versatile than that! Ditch the jeans or leggings and try this sophisticated midi skirt outfit. Pair an A-line midi skirt with a classic polo neck, then add a statement necklace to complete your look.
Top tip: If you're pear shaped, an A-line midi skirt skims over hips for a flattering finish.
- Midi Skirt: R749, H&M
- Polo neck: R229, Utopia at Zando
- Lipstick: R229, Inglot
- Necklace: R379, Zara
- Heels: R549, Madison
Leather jacket look
There's nothing boring about black! Bring out your sexy rocker side by teaming a black midi skirt with a rock and roll inspired leather-look jacket. Perfect for the weekend — if you'd rather not wear heels, swap them for some cute pumps or even sneakers.
Top tip: A midi skirt that sits at your waist will nip in your waist and emphasise an hourglass figure.
- Leather-look jacket: R599, H&M
- Top: R49.99, Mr Price
- Shoes: R659, Zara
- Watch: R599, Lanco at Zando
- Sunglasses: R199.95, Woolworths
- Bag: R499, Woolworths
- Skirt: R249, Utopia at Zando
Classic winter midi skirt outfit
Playing with the proportions of a midi skirt is an easy way to balance and slim your body. Try this pencil midi skirt with a chunky knit sweater — you'll be comfortable and bang on trend. This look is basically made for winter.
Top tip: If you're trying to draw attention away from a bigger bust, this is a look to avoid as the chunky sweater will only add to your upper body. Rather go for an A-line midi skirt with a slimmer fitting knit.
- Sunglasses: R49.99, Mr Price
- Knit: R629, Zara
- Skirt: R249, H&M
- Bag: R149, H&M
- Shoes: R599, Madison at Zando
- Cuff: R29.99, Mr Price
Statement coat and pencil midi skirt
This style is so chic and effortlessly modern. Pair a plain pencil midi skirt with a great statement coat, then add a cute clutch to complete your look. And you don't have to stick to camel and white — this midi skirt outfit would look just as stunning in black.
Top tip: Make sure your coat and skirt are the same length to make the most of the body-lengthening effect.
- Coat: R2 599, Forever New
- Necklace: R249, Accessorize
- Top: R149, H&M
- Skirt: R79.99, Mr Price
- Heels: R629, Madison at Zando
- Sunglasses: R249.50, Colette by Colette Hayman
Crisp white shirt and an A-line midi skirt
Nothing is more classic, sophisticated or head-turning than a midi skirt paired with a crisp white shirt. Add a pair of statement shoes and you've got yourself a great winter midi skirt outfit.
Top tip: If you have a smaller bust or you're pear shaped, add a statement necklace or wear a ruffled shirt. This adds volume to your décolletage and draws the eye away from your lower body.
- Skirt: R269, Zara
- Shirt: R229, H&M
- Ring: R79.95, Woolworths
- Watch: R1 999, Fossil at Watch Republic
- Shoes: R1 599, Aldo at Zando
Bonus: Our fashion editor's midi skirt outfit
And just to prove that we practice what we preach, here's how our fashion editor, Xolani, wears her midi skirt — teamed with a statement necklace and a simple polo neck. A sexy red lip finishes the look and adds a pop of colour ???.
