Nerazzurri 5, Golden Barbarians 1
Kahoe Stadium, Kaeo, January 1 2018
It's billed as 'the dawn of football'. Kahoe Stadium, situated at the backpackers' hostel that Stefano Virgili and his wife Lyndsey run, has hosted a four-a-side football tournament every New Year's Eve for the past 26 years.
The evening culminates with the final kicking off as the clock strikes midnight – making it each year's first football game in the world, given New Zealand's proximity to the International Date Line. That is, of course, as long as nobody in Kiribati, Samoa or the Chatham Islands has thought to have a kick-about over the previous hour. I doubt they would have.
I first heard about this in early January last year, when I saw the photos on Stefano's Facebook page and my immediate thought was "where has this been all my life?" I messaged my Interista amico that instant to book a room at the hostel for New Year's Eve 2017/18.
And after looking forward to this a LOT for about eleven and a half months, the day finally came on Sunday for Gina and I to pile into the car and make the long drive up to the far north along with some professional camera gear for night shooting that was extremely generously loaned to me by the great man Grant Stantiall.
We arrived at about 3:30pm and after an espresso and a brief yarn about the state of calcio we were shown to our room in an old house built in 1870 by Lyndsey's great grandfather – a Swedish whaler who literally jumped ship as it was pulling out of Whangaroa Harbour. I thought that was a cool story and it was an amazing house so I decided to temporarily suspend my eternal bitterness about Italy's exit from Euro 2004 courtesy of Sweden and Denmark's biscotto.
After a nice rest we headed back to the stadium for pizza and to meet our fellow combatants for the evening's action.
The pizza options were all named after Inter players – I chose a Materazzi (quattro formaggi with onions, garlic and rosemary) and washed it down with a couple of glasses of Primitivo from Salento at the heel of the Italian boot. At least one glass of something was a condition of entry into the tournament unless you're a non-drinker and I was more than happy to oblige.
Amongst the people I met at dinner was a Danish private equity lawyer who thought the biscotto at Euro 2004 was great… Thus ended the brief suspension of my bitterness about Italy's exit from Euro 2004.
There was also a very nice Dutch couple. The wife tried to say she had sunburn on her foot so couldn't play much football, but she subsequently turned out to be one of the best players in the tournament…
There was also a French sail maker who was passing through. Earlier in the day she had enquired if there was a room available and was told she could only stay if she played!
Then there was the ultra-competitive family of Manchester City fans who have been coming to this tournament every year for the past decade. Little Kristan, 10, has literally been here every year of his life and it was my privilege to have chosen to be here the year he finally got his first Virgili Cup goal – you could really see how much it meant to him. And the floodgates really opened for him after that too as he ended up with a haul of five on the night!
There were also a smattering of Kaeo Inter regulars and a more than handy ringer from Fencibles United who miraculously got placed in Stefano's Nerazzurri team!
My Giallorossi side was not competitive at all – mostly weighed down by Gina and I. The two guys allocated to help us out put up a brave fight trying to carry us but they couldn't work miracles on their own.
My performance was mixed to put it extremely kindly. Passing to me was an almost guaranteed way to give up possession. During the first game, at a point where I was doubled over and sucking in oxygen from all the physical exertion, I summonsed up my last ounces of energy just to verbalise the words "how much longer, ref?" He said "you've only been playing two minutes!"
I went in goal for a while just to get a rest and that went quite well as I pulled off some satisfying one-on-one saves. Then it all came unstuck after a crunching face save from a powerful biscotto loving Dane strike. Then I somehow managed to concede a goal directly from a throw-in…
But the highlight of the night, no bugger that, the highlight of the year, was my sweetly struck one-touch finish on the end of a cross to score past Stefano (who was in goal). It felt sublime and was one of only four goals the Nerazzurri conceded all night. Stefano described it as having "not only over glorified the name you had on the back of your Roma shirt [Džeko], but was a sweet finish worthy of the Emperor himself." Thanks mate! We'll keep you on.
I got a second too, a long range effort in the Giallorossi's last game of the evening – but it was a keeper nutmeg so not quite as satisfying.
After a brilliant virtual semi-final that was 1-0 to the Manchester City loving 'Grimble Sky Blues' going into the last 30 seconds only for the biscotto loving Dane and sunburn lady's 'Golden Barbarians' to score twice and advance, the scene was set for the grand finale.
When the clock struck midnight Stefano had the honour of kicking off and before you knew it he had the first goal in the world in 2018. Then the first double. Then the first hat-trick and the first four goal haul. The Fencies player chipped in with one and the Virgili Cup was triumphantly lifted by the Nerazzurri after a 5-1 drubbing. Revenge for Euro 2004 at last!
After a truly brilliant evening I'm already thinking about next year and, most importantly, wondering how many ring-ins I can get.
Does anyone have Albert Riera's number?

MLB Rumors: The New York Mets have interest in Starlin Castro
It is safe to say that it has been an interesting few weeks for Castro. He goes from being a New York Yankee to the Miami Marlins. However, the Castro moving may not be done. It seems that he might not even see the inside of Marlins Park and might be staying in New York. According to several baseball insiders, the New York Mets have expressed interest in the second baseman.
After trading Dee Gordon to the Seattle Mariners, the Marlins were in need of a second baseman. Then they traded Giancarlo Stanton to the Yankees for Starlin Castro and other minor league players. According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets are planning on talking to the Marlins about Castro at the Winter Meetings. He is a great hitter as he had a .300 batting average in 2017. However, he does have a problem at the plate. He has a lack of patience as he walked only 4.9% of the time last season. Also, his defensive skills could be in question.[JonBlayneAds]
While he does have some minor issues, adding Starlin Castro would be an upgrade for the Mets. While he hopefully will not be their first plan, they shouldn't rule it out. The New York Mets have been connected to pretty much every second baseman that is a free agent. I feel this would end up being a plan c for the Mets.
However, If I were the Miami Marlins, I wouldn't go through with it. While it wouldn't be that tough for this to happen, the Marlins would be fools. You already traded Stanton and Gordon. If you were to trade Castro then you would not really any leadership on this team. It is more than likely 2018 will not be a good season for the Marlins, but I would make it go from bad to worse.[JonTwitter]

Trust (2011)
Director: David Schwimmer
Cast: Clive Owen, Catherine Keener, Liana Liberato, Viola Davis
My Rating: 9/10
In Short: Powerful Depiction of Personal Destruction
While I was watching David Schwimmer's Trust, I recalled something that happened to my sister when she was 17 or 18. She had been out partying with a bunch of friends, and they were all drunk and driving around; they were celebrating something, though I don't remember what. One of the girls thought it would be a good idea to throw my sister out of the car and onto the street and then drive away. I dunno, one of those things that sounds like a good idea when you're drunk. My sister was scared shitless. She staggered home, in fear. It was 2 in the morning. When she got in the door she was cold and in tears, but unhurt. She woke up the whole house. It was a strange kind of drunken fear. I don't know how far she'd had to walk to get home, but it was obviously a long time.
This memory, which I had not thought about for a long time as it was never a significant event and when she sobered up she had pretty much forgotten about it, was triggered in my memory, as her trust of the people she had known so well was broken, much like the protagonist of Trust is betrayed by someone close to her.
Trust is actor David Schwimmer's directorial debut. He directs the talents of three amazing actors: Clive Owen, Catherine Keener and the unheard-of but extremely talented Liana Liberato (who may just have the most awesome name ever, if it is her real name, which I doubt.) Liberato plays Annie, a 14 year-old girl who has struck up a relationship online with a boy named Charlie. At first she thinks he is a 16 year-old volleyball player. Then he confesses he is 20. Then later he says he's actually 25. And when they finally meet, we can see obviously that he's in his mid-30s. Shortly after they do meet, he coaxes her into wearing nothing but revealing lingerie before moving on top of her and raping her in a dark hotel room.
Most films of its kind would be concerned with the act of rape itself, but Trust is not. In fact, in the days following the event, it is a while before Annie even thinks of it as a rape. Just rough sex that maybe happened a little too fast but was bound to happen anyway. It is not until much later on she realizes how wrong she is and what a sick fuck Charlie really is. She has this idealized image of him: he is a man who gets her, who understands her, in a manner much more personal and desirable than her parents, who obviously love her but fail to show it, especially following the shock of discovering her rape.
Clive Owen gives an unforgiving, powerhouse performance as Annie's father, who becomes obsessed with tracking the pervert down and beating him ruthlessly over and over. Or shooting him repeatedly in the face. Either one of those would work, he thinks. His obsession grows to the point where little else matters. He neglects his daughter except when asking her personal questions about the rape. He goes to the chatroom his daughter used, and pretends to be a vulnerable teenage girl to see if he can attract the same predator. He steals files which reveal the conversations Charlie and Annie had, and as he looks through them we realized the extent to which they were involved with each other, including using explicit language and sending graphic pictures.
But this is not some rape-and-revenge thriller. There is no bloody retribution. Sure, the cops search for Charlie, but think about it: in the real world, where criminals like him are smart, what are the odds of them actually finding him? Exactly. The film doesn't concern itself with Charlie actually being found; it focuses on the repercussions of an unspeakable act, and how it changes people.
Schwimmer does not shy away from presenting the facts: this happens a lot. All over the world, paedophiles are connecting to children through chatrooms, meeting up with them, and then removing all of their innocence with each sick, unforgiving penetration. We learn that "Charlie" has done this before; he has conned children as young as twelve into having sex with him. We see a photo of the 12 year-old he raped and the kid looks years younger. I don't know much about the statistics of rape, but I would be certain that there is a questionably high amount of children being raped regularly, both by people they know and people they don't.
But the rape isn't even the worst of it. After being physically raped, Annie is again torn apart, this time emotionally, by the consequences of the act. Gossip spreads around the school and Annie is labelled a slut online. Her trust is again ripped apart by those she knows, and the only one she can trust is a psychiatrist who cares but not enough to do anything more than examine her mind and ask pointless rhetorical questions. By the end of the film, the viewer will too feel like, that in some sense of the word, they've been raped as well. Schwimmer puts us into Annie's mind as she mentally and physically breaks down, lashing out at the world around her for becoming so fascinated and interested in the details of her attack. Police want to know when, where, why. She is metaphorically attacked by them, as all they do is ask her questions and rarely offer her any peace of mind or solace. No, leave that up to the psychiatrist, they think. Sure, the police try as hard as they can to catch the man, but at the end of the day what's really disturbing is how easily he's getting away and how inevitable it is for him to do it again. And again.
Trust is a very, very well-made film. It is inarguably one of the best of the year. It is the most powerful, relevant depiction of the way people are so ceaselessly deceited and tricked, and is a must-see for all people: parents, children, and just the general public. It is one of the most powerful pictures of recent times.

With Proper Care, These Grill Grates Will Last for Years
A sturdy porcelain enamel coating is applied to a variety of metals of different weights. You'll find enamel coated cast iron and tempered steel on both rods and on upside down U shaped rails. Porcelain is easy to clean. Dropping them can crack them, and after many uses heating and cooling can make micro cracks and then they start to rust. Also, vigorous scrubbing and scraping can scratch them and eventually wear off the coating. But with proper care they work just fine for years, and they are a lot cheaper than stainless. I prefer the thin rods over the U shaped rails so the grill grate doesn't block the radiant heat needed to brown the surfaces of foods.

Sat August 21, 2004 - West Edition
RENO, NV (AP) Federal Highway Administrator Mary E. Peters hailed Reno's $264 million train trench on Aug. 6 as a model of innovation and cost-cutting that will help change the way large transportation projects are approached elsewhere.
"It says to other areas, this is what you can do," Peters said over the clamor of earth movers and big-rig dump trucks.
"You've literally broken new ground here," she said after being briefed by city officials.
The Reno Transportation Rail Access Corridor began in late 2002 to address the problems of trains that rumble through the busy downtown.
The 2.1 mile trench, at 50 feet wide and 33 feet deep, will eliminate 11 street-level railroad crossings.
With rail traffic expected to double from 15 to 30 trains per day over the next decade, officials say the trench will enhance public safety, reduce noise and pollution and spur urban renewal. Completion is scheduled for 2006.
Peters said the project is the first in Nevada to use a design-build concept authorized by Congress two years ago. The process allows design and construction phases to occur simultaneously, saving time and money.
Traditionally, projects are put to bid for design, then rebid for the construction phase.
Steve Varela, Reno's public works director, said the streamlined process has shaved more than a year off construction time and saved $15 million so far.
Officials also credited the Transportation Infrastructure Financing Innovation Act for allowing the project to proceed quickly.
Enacted about five years ago, it authorizes low-interest loans to "jump start" transportation projects, Peters said.
"It allows us to fund up to one third of the cost to a local entity," Peters said. "Then revenues they've identified to finance the project can accrue over time."
Reno borrowed $73.5 million from the federal program.

Good Pub Guide Recommended
Rural New Forest spot with traditional rooms, log fires, up to seven real ales and simple lunchtime food
This delightful and charming thatched pub is part of a working farm, so there are ponies and pigs out on the green in front and plenty of livestock nearby. The three quite unchanging and neatly kept rooms are straightforward but full of proper traditional character, with black beams, prints and pictures involving local characters on the white walls, restored panelling, antique wheelback, spindleback and other old chairs and stools with colourful seats around solid tables on oak floors, and two roaring log fires. The back bar has books; darts and board games. Up to seven real ales are tapped from the cask including one named for the pub (from Bowman), Branscombe Vale Branoc, Flack Manor Double Drop, Hop Back Summer Lightning, Ringwood Best and Stonehenge Danish Dynamite. Also, nine wines by the glass (mulled wine in winter), 14 country wines, local cider and a September beer festival; service remains friendly and efficient even when the pub is packed (which it often is). Summer barbecues may be held in the neatly kept big garden, which has a marquee for poor weather and a pétanque pitch. They have three shepherd's huts to rent for overnight stays. Dogs are welcome but must be on a lead. Disabled access.
Bar food times: 12-2.30 (3 weekends)
Good value, limited food - served at lunchtime only - consists of wholesome winter soup, a particularly good pork pie, quiche and sausages.

Joining the Expat Bubble
Last week, a bunch of my new girlfriends threw me a surprise baby shower! I felt very touched to be made such a fuss of after so little time here, and it certainly makes the impending arrival of the baby tornado seem a little less intimidating. (Due date in 4 days!) So how have I come to meet so many lovely people so fast? Some of it is about being in the 'expat bubble'…
It's called a bubble because it's fragile, slightly unreal but full of loveliness. It's a bubble because it's a way of being part of your own little expat world, even when you are living 10,000km from home in the tropical Jamaican heat. It's a bubble because it feels like it could go POP! at any moment, and all of us in it, would find ourselves back home in an instant, back in our ordinary lives. But for all of that, it's a pretty lovely bubble to be a part of!
Since the day I arrived, a whole gang of European women found out I was new to the island and got in touch. I was invited out for coffees, lunches, taken shopping, to doctor's appointments, looking at places to live… Most of the ladies are Irish; wives to men that work with my husband (though I got to know them long before he ever met the men at work!), then some of the ladies' husbands work as diplomats, with various drinks brands etc. Some moved here a few months ago, some have been here years. Most of them have young children, and at least 3 I've met are pregnant too!
Then there's baby group. I went along on about my 3rd week here (feeling faintly ridiculous with no baby) but it's been a brilliant way to meet people. The ladies are from Jamaica, Canada, South America and Europe so it's a lovely mix, and a good chance to get some practice in with their various babies! I hosted baby group myself last week, which was pretty chaotic but good fun – about 20 ladies and their little ones came, so there was plenty of noise and mess!
Most of us have come to Jamaica as 'trailing spouses' – an unpleasant expression that makes me think of entrails… but actually is a pretty lovely way to live! It basically means that you've moved over you're your husband because he was offered a good job. Having worked all my life until two weeks before we left Ireland, it's very weird suddenly not working, and being identified by who your husband works for. But there are some serious perks…
Living in lovely houses in secure compounds with beautiful gardens and shared pools, driving about Kingston's pot-holed roads in company jeeps (when we had a house-warming BBQ, our car-park looked like a Suzuki forecourt!), being able to afford to have childcare and/ or a 'helper' to help out with domestic work at home. Manicures, pedicures, lunches, coffees, trips to the beach, time to go swimming off-peak at a lovely local pool … All these things make me feel very lucky, and certainly make the impending arrival of a new baby seem a lot easier to deal with!
In spite of all of this, I am missing home enormously and feel a very long way from my friends and family. Skype calls and emails make up for a lot, but it's a long way to go home for a hug. And it's spring! The most beautiful time of year in England / Ireland, am missing the fresh air, daffodils and cherry blossom, not to mention the freedom to go about enjoying it. Kingston is pretty dangerous, and perhaps not suprisingly when there is such a huge poverty divide here. Just last week, while out enjoying a pregnant waddle around my neighbourhood; a lovely, leafy, well-heeled part of town, I was saddened to be told that a woman was mugged here jogging just a few months ago. Reckon I might have to find a neighbour to pair up with, but I'm too pregnant at the moment to keep up with even the slowest of them!
On Sunday night, my husband and I went to Mona Dam, a reservoir that offers a lovely peaceful walk, suprisingly close to central Kingson. Home to a flock of beautiful ibis and many solitary egrets, the evening sky makes a beautiful reflection on the water here. I think it'll be somewhere I come alot to walk the baby; the required 'joggers pass' to get in seems to keep it pretty safe. In fact, having spent a large part of today trying to acquire such a pass (involving calling in at two different divisions of the National Water Commission), it's a wonder any body gets in at all! Don't get me started on Jamaican beauracracy…

BUENA VISTA, Va. — The Southern Virginia University women's volleyball team swept Frostburg State University on senior night in front of their home crowd 3-0.
The Knights (13-7, 4-1) seized control of the conference matchup in the first set, hitting a solid .273 percent and tallying 15 kills as a team. Lone senior Allison Tiegs paced the team's offense with six kills, giving Southern Virginia the 25-20 win.
In the second set, the Bobcats (9-19, 4-1) attempted a comeback when they trailed the Knights 24-19, scoring four straight points. The final point came in the set when LaRee Crockett passed over to Hailey Lohnes for the final kill, ending the set 25-23.
The lead was on rotation in the third set until the two teams were deadlocked at 17-17. After a Bobcat miscue, freshman Ella Burrows stepped up, registering three straight aces. The Knights capitalized on the momentum switch, closing out the set strong, with the final point coming from Mykynli Knight finding Rath, ending the game 25-22.
Knight was everywhere at the libero position, recording a game-high 28 digs, including some key digs down the stretch for Southern Virginia.
Crockett registered another game with at least 35 assists, her 10th of the season.
Two Knights, Rath and Tiegs hit double figures in kills with 12 and 10 and Burrows led the game in total blocks with four.

A slanted mansard roof dotted with dormer windows. Gothic-inspired gables and Victorian balustrades that meet reliefs and figures etched in peach sandstone and brick. These are just some of the features framing the striking Dakota Building. Few Manhattan luxury apartment buildings are as renowned. Located at 1 west 72nd Street, at the intersection of 72nd Street and Central Park West, The Dakota boasts breathtaking structural design in German Renaissance style. Its interiors follow the French style. Large rooms connected by multiple halls make ideal spaces for catered parties. Tall ceilings and expansive windows make these units peaceful retreats for their owners. Most floor plans for apartments in The Dakota span between three and ten rooms. No two units in the Dakota are exactly alike.
CNBC has called the Dakota "New York's Most Exclusive Building. Famous residents of The Dakota include actor Lauren Becall, author Harlan Coben, anchor Connie Chung and actor Judy Garland. The Dakota has been the setting for the book Time and Again and the film Rosemary's Baby. The Dakota is probably best known for being the site of the assassination of Beatle John Lennon by a crazed stalker in 1980. Lennon had lived with his wife Yoko Ono in The Dakota from 1973 to 1980, and Ono still lives there today. Yes, The Dakota is home to accomplished notables and celebrities, but residents nonetheless feel the white-gloved doorman and full service building exudes a sense of warmth. One owner, who put his one-of-a-kind 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom apartment on the market for $29.6 million, was quoted in the New York Times as saying "They're your neighbors, so you say hello… It's really a very friendly and relaxed building." Dakota is an 87- unit luxury cooperative apartment that also offers residents a private courtyard and numerous building community events throughout the year. Recent sales at the Dakota include a 3 bedroom 3 bath for $5.65 million and one bedroom one bath for $2 million. The Dakota building is currently priced at $2725/sq. foot (November 2012).
The Dakota's immaculately kept appearance may make it hard for some to believe it was built in the late 1800s. The Dakota's construction, from 1880 to 1884, was the brainchild of Edward Clark, Singer Sewing Machine Company's founder. The same architectural firm behind the Plaza Hotel, Henry Jane Hardenbergh, designed The Dakota Building. Since its completion, The Dakota building struck a sense of wonder in the hearts and minds of all who saw it. It was the first truly luxury apartment building in the Upper West Side, built at a time when the Upper West Side was still a mostly empty plain. It even had a horse carriage garage, complete with elevators! The success of the Dakota cemented it as a trendsetter for future luxury apartment buildings in Manhattan. Originally a 93-unit building, over the years some apartments have been combined so that The Dakota now houses 87 units. The Dakota was named a NYC Historic Landmark in 1969. Seven years later, in 1976, The Dakota was recognized as a National Historic Landmark. The Dakota continues to be in-demand, and when units enter the market, they are purchased fairly quickly.

Method for eliminating Self-propelled Factory Wholesale Multi-function Crop Harvester Reaper Binder failure
Self-propelled Factory Wholesale Multi-function Crop Harvester Reaper Binder, like other equipment, sometimes there will be some faults after using for a period of time, then how to solve when the user encounters these faults? Come and give you a summary today. What are the solutions to the failure of the harvester?
More fruit. Peanut fruit falls in the ground and needs to be picked up by one grain. Therefore, once the fruit drop phenomenon is found, it needs to be solved in time. Most of the fruit drop is caused by the excavation shovel being lifted too high, which can be adjusted by adjusting the central tie rod. Contrary to the adjustment method of poor soil removal, the length of the central tie rod can be extended to solve the problem of more fruit loss. The body is unstable. The vibration of the machine may be due to the inconsistent swing of the digging shovel on both sides of the harvester, or the machine vibration may occur after the digging shovel collides.
There is also a situation where the soil is not good. It means that the harvested crops are still covered with dirt and are not shaken off. The reason is that the digging of the shovel into the soil is too deep and the swing strength is reduced. The depth of the digging shovel can be increased by adjusting the length of the central rod. Properly shorten the length of the central tie rod so that the rear end of the strip is 3 to 5 cm away from the ground to solve this failure.

Hi, everyone! If you happen to follow me on Facebook, you've probably noticed that I am quite the collector of toys. And I'm not that cool geek kind of toy collector. You know, the one that has all the original Star Wars characters still in the boxes. Nope, not me at all. I'm the kind that has toys in buckets and I still pull them out from time to time to make sure all their hair is done correctly. Yes, you read that right. Hair. So, without further ado, here are my top five most beloved categories of toys. Four of which I still collect today.
1. My Little Ponies. Just in case you were afraid this list was going to go uber masculine on you, you can rest assured, you got the wrong guy making this list. I had these by the hundreds, literally, as a kid. When we moved during my senior year, I was allowed to keep 10 of them and we got rid of the rest. I still have those ten, and long for the rest. But now, I have a huge collection of the new generation. They are arranged on my desk and sit beside me every day as I write. They're adorable, magic, and you can do their hair.
2. Barbies. Despite my very religious and conservative family, I was allowed to have Barbie dolls. And back then, they didn't make mermaid dolls, so I would take duct tape and make tails for them. Now, in the wonderful age in which we live, you can buy Barbie dolls of all shapes and sizes. More importantly, you can buy them with premade tails. Actual mermaids! And, once again, you can do their hair!
3. Legos. I loved them as a kid and I still enjoy them as an adult. While I often followed the directions that came with them. My favorite thing to do was have a whole bunch of random pieces and build dream house after dream house after dream house. You can even build beauty salons out of Legos. I bet you can take a wild guess on who occupied those dream houses. (Hint: For assistance revisit numbers one and two)
4. Books. Maybe not officially toys, but I spent just as much time, if not more, with books than I did with actual toys. However, I struggled to learn to read until around fifth grade, but once it finally clicked, it clicked. I read so much, that for punishments, my parents would sometimes take away my books. For many, many years my favorite was Nancy Drew. I still love her. She has great hair!
5. G.I. Joe's. Hands down, the straightest toy on the list. However, they weren't that straight with the things I had them do to each other. In between rounds of making out, they went on spy missions, just like Nancy Drew. And, most of them had very classically swept over hair, that couldn't get messed up. Sexy, sexy!

5280: There's No 'I' in Team (or Beer)
I divide square MC's like math,
Bend you in half and drink a Genuine Draft...
The Slushy Gutter Summer Mission is back, and it's uglier than ever. Rather than let my own sobriety go to the dark recesses of reality, I've brought along a few friends. We're getting the band back together man! I've opened the Summer Mission this year to a few others, mainly most of the former Slushy Gutter winners that have appeared on these screens over the last year. A couple of others received a tournament exemption and will also be imbibing with the professionals. In total, there will be eight fixtures attempting to down (drumroll)… 5,280 beers from Memorial Day Weekend until Labor Day.
The rules are the same as last year: a beer counts as one no matter the size, shape, or sexual orientation. That being said, "cheesing" out and pouring a beer into a thimble won't be tolerated. Drinking a single beer from a 55-gal drum will be encouraged though. Most beers will be the standard 12 ounce / pint size we've all grown to love.
Along the way, I will offer "guest passes" to other
In case you're not familiar with the significance of the 5280 number, that's the elevation of the beautiful area we call home, Denver Colorado. Obviously the elevation has tempered my brain to make me think we can pull this ridiculous stunt off.
With that, Memorial Day Weekend saw the crew fall woefully behind the pace. Former two-time Slushy Gutter winner Juck carried the crew with a svelte 45 downed over the four days, and also managed to include two Tangerine Zimas outside of his 45. Yes, Tangerine Zima. Former two-time Slushy Gutter winner T-Dub managed to down 16 beers, as he also went outside the box to pound a healthy amount of Margaritas. Newcomer Slick Rip endured a Jager Bomb shot before squeezing out 17, former Slushy Gutter Winner Pickles cracked 19, and the Commish brought up the rear with a lowly 12, although two of the tally were 32 ounce Monster Mugs from the hopping Morrison Inn. Former two-time Slushy Gutter winner JBiz started the proceedings at 1am on Friday with #1, and Broz entered the fray with 18 pops and still managed to complete the Bolder Boulder Monday morning; Heart of a Champion. (95)

Complete sewing kit to make this scrumptious Soft Zipper Velvet Pouch.
Finished size is 7" long and 3 1/2" tall
This kit contains ½ yd of our bright and lush velvet border designed by colorful artist Odile Bailloeul,
the lining fabric (it will vary)
a piece of fusible fleece,
a zipper (long, needs to be cut!) and a mini tassel as a Zipper Pull
a small piece of 7/8" ribbon for the tab
The Velvet border is very lush, sews very well, adding texture and sensuality to the cute bag!
FREE Photo tutorial as a PDF- Click link here
The kit contains 1 piece of French Velvet Border and to make the bag you need to cut that piece in 2 exact halves: fold the piece in 2, mark the middle and cut.
This little kit worked up quickly and easily! I enjoy the vibrant colors, too!
I put a pocket on one side....just a little slip pocket. Cut at 2.5x8, folded in half and stitched. I also didn't read the directions carefully enough and didn't put the ribbon on both ends...a definite need to with the next one....I love it!
I really love these velvet kits! I've made three of them, so far! This will be my fourth, and I hope I get to keep this one!😄
The Zipper Pouch kit arrived promptly. It was fairly easy to make & produced a professional-looking gift.

Felton Thomas Jr., board chair of the Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland and director of the Cleveland Public Library (CPL), was chosen as one of the 10 White House Champions of Change for Making, for "doing extraordinary things to empower and inspire members of their communities."
"These individuals were selected by the White House for their personal passion and tireless efforts to make advances in technology and platforms, educational opportunities, or spaces that empower even more Americans to become tinkerers, inventors and entrepreneurs," the White House said in a written announcement.
The 10 Champions of Change were celebrated at the White House at a ceremony in June.
"I am humbled by this tremendous recognition from the White House, and am honored to accept it on behalf of our hard-working and committed CPL staff," said Thomas. "This recognition symbolizes the importance and relevance of public libraries being at the forefront of providing cutting-edge technology to our community to open the doors to creativity and entrepreneurship."
Thomas and CPL were recognized for the innovative makerspace, TechCentral, which opened in 2012. TechCentral provides open access for patrons to laser engraving, 3D printing, audio, video, photo production tools, as well as basic computers and laptops. Recently, TechCentral has expanded to include MakerLab programs at 27 CPL branches featuring high and low-tech versions of photography, 3D printing, font creation, computer programming, art and design, laser engraving and cutting, and more.
The celebratory event at the White House marked the anniversary of the White House Maker Faire when President Obama launched the Nation of Makers initiative, which focuses on ensuring that Americans of all backgrounds have access to new technology such as 3D printers, laser cutters, and other technology that encourages Americans to create and make.

The Chair by James L. Rubart
"[Rubart] gives us powerful themes about forgiveness, relationship, and the deepest levels of true healing."
James Rubart blends easy, fast-paced reads with deep, spiritual ideas. In "Rooms," he used a huge coastal home to represent rooms and dark corners of our lives. In "Book of Days," he explored God's working in our lives, past, present, and future. This time around, "The Chair" is an ancient artifact that may or may not be a piece crafted by Jesus' own hands in His days as a carpenter.
Corin owns an antique store in Colorado Springs. He's an adrenaline junkie. He's also a man plagued by guilt, due to his brother's accident in one of their shared outdoor adventures years earlier. The story opens with the mysterious chair being delivered to Corin's shop by an elderly woman. She hints at its power and past, but leaves him to evaluate for himself whether this chair can actually heal anyone because of its divine origins. Even as Corin wrestles with that question, a pastor of a mega-church goes to great lengths to acquire the chair for his own personal needs.
The pages turn quickly, with the pastor turning up the heat by offering Corin a large sum of money for the chair. At the same time, Corin is beginning to believe in the chair's powers when it seems to offer healing to those who have sat in it. He also faces opposition from his girlfriend, who has a past that makes her antagonistic toward anything Christian. There are lots of elements in the mix, and I like that Rubart wants to up the stakes. Sometimes, these angles don't feel fully fleshed out, but he rightly keeps the primary focus on the relationship between Corin and his estranged brother. Will the chair pull them apart or draw them together? The answers do not come easily or without a cost. And Rubart gives us a surprise or two along the way.
I've read many novels that deal with religious artifacts, and most of them use a prologue from centuries earlier to help us buy into the veracity of the artifact. We don't get that here, and so I never fully bought into it, but that may have been the point. In giving us only a brief history of the chair, Rubart forces readers to weigh for themselves their doubt against their belief. In the end, "The Chair" gives us powerful themes about forgiveness, relationship, and the deepest levels of true healing.

and hell, the latest of which is One Step Away, a twist on the story

Battle of Verdun Quick Background Summary
Battle of Verdun, which began on February 21st 1916 until December 16th 1916 was among the most prolonged battles in World War 1. The war was mainly between the French and the Germans and it led to massive casualties. The Battle of Somme which the British started in July of 1916 was as a result of this. The main aim was to help relieve the French of German pressure. This battle like any other had its reasons for occurring and they are as follows:
Causes of the Battle of Verdun

Trench Warfare at its Worst
Outcome of the Battle of Verdun
- Large number of casualties
This battle proved to be bloody. This was because of the desire held by the Germans to fight to the last man. This was so as to make sure that Verdun and its forts were captured by German forces.The casualties were estimated at 550,000 men for the French and 430,000 for the Germans.
- Firing of the German chief of general staff Erich Von Falkenhayn
This was because the original plan failed terribly. The Germans had thought that they would quickly capture Verdun and consequently Paris. All this was to be done with massive French casualties in mind. The contrary happened; Germany lost the battle along with many soldiers. Paul von Hindenburg was to be later appointed.
- It provided a boost to French morale
This battle came at a time when the French were down and out. The battle was meant to cripple France and force them out of the war. Instead the French proved to be determined and fought on to win the battle. It boosted their morale and showed that they were also a strong nation with logistical ability.
Very good presentation and nice podcast. Any maps or geological factors worth mentioning?
Any more information?

text: Diane Rubin was quoted in this week's Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, discussing a case concerning the plaintiff's easement rights to a private way in the North End. A Superior Court judge ruled after that although access to the alley was restricted by both a fence and a gate, these did not serve to either extinguish or abandon the easement rights of the plaintiff. The judge ruled that the plaintiff, an abutting owner to the passageway in dispute, had not been clearly and unequivocally denied passage through the area, but rather, had been given a key when needed. Rubin agreed with the decision, saying "the judge concluded, reasonably, that all parties acted mutually and cooperatively to permit shared use of the passageway area until the recent dispute," and noting that the defendants had not met their heavy burden of proof to establish abandonment or prescription.

Benefit Triggers for LTC Ins.
LTC Insurance Benefit Triggers
It is important to understand what must occur before an LTC insurance policy begins to pay benefits. This could be thought of as the definition of disability or the benefit trigger. New, tax-qualified policies will pay benefits when a person is chronically ill, further defined as:
- A person must be unable to perform, without substantial assistance from another person, at least two ADLs for a period expected to last at least 90 days OR
- A person must require substantial supervision to protect themselves from threats to their own or someone else's health and safety due to severe cognitive impairment.
Not all insurance carriers define ADLs the same way. While the main categories (bathing, continence, dressing, eating, toileting, and transferring) may be the same, it is the definition of each of these terms that determines benefit qualifications.
Also, policies may differ in what constitutes assistance. Certainly direct, physical, hands-on help with ADLs would qualify in every case, and new policies consider assistance to simply be standby assistance-that is, the need for another person to be present while the activity is done to ensure the safety of the person needing care. This standby measure is a significantly better definition of an ADL loss.
The HIPAA, tax-qualified LTC policies provide better definitions of benefit triggers, assurances for consumers regarding the tax status of their LTC benefits and at least the potential for a premium tax deduction. Today, very few policies do not meet the federal tax code's criteria to be tax-qualified. These few policies, called non-tax qualified, generally may offer the consumer more liberal benefit triggers. Non-tax qualified policies do not have to base their ADL trigger on the expectation that the need for care will last at least 90 days, thus potentially being able to pay for short-term care claims where recovery is expected. Such policies also may trigger benefits after a person loses one ADL (versus two with tax-qualified). And non-tax-qualified policies may add a third trigger, called medical necessity, allowing for a medical exception to get benefits paid when a person doesn't qualify under a physical ADL or cognitive trigger (Medical necessity as a separate trigger is not allowed in tax-qualified policies.) However, remember that the majority of LTC policies sold today are tax-qualified.
Many advisors do not have a clear understanding of these very important concepts and their impact on when and how benefits are paid under the terms of a tax-qualified or non-tax-qualified long-term care insurance contract. Talking with a long-term care insurance specialist will help clear up any misunderstanding.

The Pixel 3a could be Google's 'Moto G' moment
In the grand scheme of things, as an Android enthusiast, Google's Pixel 3a phone really doesn't seem all that electrifying.
And it's no wonder: The Pixel 3a, on its surface, is a lower-end remake of the premium Pixel 3 model that came out last fall. When we have devices showing up that are foldable, poppable, and packing more screens than a TV station's control room (for better or maybe for worse), a decidedly muted midrange model of a phone we already know seems downright mundane.
But you know what? The most important announcements often aren't the most exciting ones. Having lived with and closely considered the Pixel 3a for several days now, I'm more convinced than ever it has the potential to be one of the most significant and impactful announcements to come out of any Google I/O conference — an announcement whose force could be felt and looked back upon for years to come.
The simplest way to understand why is to think back on another unassuming, mundane-seeming phone from several years ago. I'm talking, of course, about the original Moto G.
The Pixel 3a's 2013 connection
Let's bring ourselves back to the summer of 2013 for a second. Tinder and Snapchat were the hot new apps of the moment; "selfie," "phablet," and "emoji" had just been added into the Oxford online dictionary; and countless parents were hearing "Let It Go" for the first of what would be approximately 7.2 million times. (If the song's chorus didn't automatically just start playing in your head, congratulations: You're far more sane than the rest of us.)
That same year, Motorola came out with its first phone created entirely under Google's guidance: the original Moto X. (Remember, Google bought Motorola in 2011, but phones are typically under development for a full couple of years before they see the light of day.)
The Moto X, to put it mildly, was a critical darling. Android enthusiasts and professional phone reviewers (myself included) heaped praise upon the phone for its unusual approach, especially for that time, in which specs were de-emphasized and Motorola instead focused on creating a device with an exceptional all-around user experience — one that added thoughtful and genuinely valuable features into the existing Android framework without arbitrarily changing things simply for the sake of change.
To wit: That inaugural Moto X piloted the idea of always-on voice activation —"one of the coolest and most useful smartphone innovations to come along in years," as I put it at the time — along with the now-standard notion of having relevant info flash on your screen when the phone isn't actively in use. It introduced an automatic driving detection system before such technology was in any way commonplace and gave phone-owners the opportunity to quite literally design their own devices in a manner we haven't seen attempted since.
And yet, for all its positives and the many factors the phone got right, the Moto X was not, by any accounts, a commercial success. The phone gave Motorola plenty of geek cred and helped set the stage for the kind of company it'd become during that brief Google-owned era — and it certainly gave all of us plenty to talk about — but it didn't rake in much dough or turn Moto into anything close to resembling a major force within the Android ecosystem.
Fast-forward now four months to that same November: In an understated event held in Brazil, Motorola announced a different device called the Moto G (which would come to the U.S., too, a couple weeks later). It wasn't an exciting phone, by any means; it was a lower-end but eerily similar version of the more enticing Moto X.
The Moto G was "technologically boring," as Wired said at the time. And yet, it was "striking just how similar it [was] to the Moto X when you handle[d] it," The Verge noted — going on to say:
Without comparing the two directly, you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between them. Motorola tells us that this was intentional: The Moto X look is the company's design language, and it isn't concerned with the Moto G distracting customers from its flagship.
There was one immediately noticeable difference between the devices: The Moto G cost a mere $180 — roughly half the price of the Moto X, which sold for $380 unlocked at the time of its launch.
The tech world issued a collective yawn, but guess what? While the Moto X failed to make much of a commercial splash, the Moto G was a smash hit. The phone was credited with single-handedly "resurrecting" Motorola in certain markets, driving record phone sales across the globe, and eventually becoming the company's best-selling smartphone ever. As recently as last year, Motorola said it had sold 70 million Moto G devices since that first model's launch and that the phone had served as a key part of the company's long-term success story.
A lot of random-seeming history, I realize, but stick with me: All of this is critically important context for what we're seeing take shape with the Pixel 3a today. Time to zip our way back to the present — with one more quick pit stop along the way.
Pixel 3a parallels
With its first-gen Pixel phone in 2016, Google had a critical darling on its hands. It was a "home run," as The Verge put it — "pure Android at its absolute best," in the words of CNET. And yet, despite similarly glowing reviews for the phone's second-generation model and an ample amount of enthusiasm for 2018's third-gen version, the Pixel has remained a niche product.
It's true that, despite a recent quarter in which Google fell victim to the same sales slump being experienced by almost every phone-maker around the world, the Pixel has been gaining impressive ground and seeing significant growth within the smartphone market — especially when you factor in all the caveats associated with the device. But still, in the big picture, it's but a tiny drop in the bucket of the broader Android ecosystem.
So what did Google do? As seemed inevitable from get-go, it came out with a cheaper model — one that offers the same sort of experience as the regular Pixel but in a less premium package and, oh yes, at roughly half the price.
After using the Pixel 3a for roughly a week now, I've been blown away by the parallels between this phone — and the apparent strategy surrounding it — and what we saw six years ago with that first Moto G. Just like the Moto G, the Pixel 3a is strikingly similar to its higher-end sibling. The phone is so similar to the regular Pixel, in fact, that I often can't which is which at a glance and end up grabbing the wrong device by mistake.
More important, though, using the Pixel 3a doesn't feel like using a "midrange phone"; it feels like using a Pixel. The user experience is almost identical across the two devices, from the design language and software all the way down to the outstanding camera — something you certainly don't tend to see in a sub-$400 device. Heck, the 3a's camera is arguably better and more capable than any non-Pixel phone's camera, even in the $800-and-up range.
And, zooming out to an even bigger-picture view, the Pixel 3a comes with the same Pixel-standard guarantee of timely and reliable OS and security updates for a full three years from the device's launch. Compared to the embarrassingly poor post-sales support you get with almost every other Android device these days — even those you pay a thousand dollars to own (and yes, even with Project Treble in the equation) — that's a pretty phenomenal kind of feature to have. And it goes a tremendous way in increasing the phone's value over the time you're likely to own it.
See where this is going? Just as the Moto G brought a previously unheard of level of quality to the budget realm in 2013, the Pixel 3a is bringing the type of user experience you used to be able to get only via a high-priced Pixel phone into the midrange arena. Sure, the phone's plastic exterior is less premium than the regular Pixel's glass-based body — but it certainly doesn't look or feel cheap, and quite frankly, some people may prefer the more durable polycarbonate material to the more easily shattered glass casing. And yes, the 3a's screen and processor are a step down from what's present in its pricier sibling, but lemme tell ya: Unless you're unusually tuned into that type of thing or crazy enough to be doing precise side-by-side comparisons, you aren't gonna give any of that a single ounce of thought.
Back to the Moto G for a moment: In 2013, then-Motorola-CEO (and Google employee) Dennis Woodside said something telling, as paraphrased by The New York Times:
The low-end smartphone's goal is not to be a flashy piece of gadgetry representing the latest innovation. It is an effort by Motorola to return to growth by reaching as many people as possible.
It's true that no one was jumping up and down with excitement when the Moto G first came out — because, yes, it was by most measures a pretty boring phone. But you know what it accomplished? It brought a previously unattainable level of quality to the budget phone domain. From the looks of it, the Pixel 3a could take a page from its playbook and do the exact same thing with the midrange realm — particularly in the areas of camera quality, user experience, and post-sales software support, all three of which are incredibly important parts of the phone-using picture and yet are areas that have remained largely neglected in the midrange market.
There are still plenty of questions to be answered about how the Pixel 3a saga will play out and where exactly Google will go from here. And without a doubt, the biggest variable of all is how well Google itself will manage to sell the 3a's message and convince prospective phone-buyers that it's the right device for them (particularly now that the phone is available on almost all the major U.S. carriers — a privilege the regular Pixel phone hasn't even enjoyed up til now).
If Google figures out how to sell the thing, though, the Pixel 3a has the potential to seriously shake up the midrange Android phone market and go down in history as the company's modern-day Moto G — the affordable product that brought its message to the masses and made it into a serious smartphone player.
The seeds are certainly planted. Now it's up to Google to grow them into something significant.

Paget's disease of bone can cause bone pain, fractures and bone deformity. It affects 3% of the population after 55 and up to 6% after 80, but people with Paget's disease of bone have no symptoms in about 40% of cases making them hard to identify. On the contrary, this disease may lead to complications, up to the occurrence of rare but severe bone tumors called osteosarcomas. Some novel treatments currently in use and those in development for osteoporosis treatment may increase the theoretical risk of osteosarcoma. Some common bone diseases, such as Paget's disease, already have an increased risk of osteosarcoma, which makes these new therapies contraindicated.
In this research program, I aim to validate a biological test for Paget's disease screening developed by my team and better determine its indications for the clinical practice. Once validated, this test may be used to detect persons affected by Paget's disease, before proposing their use in the screening of patients selected to be treated with these novel osteoporosis treatments, as well as for patients with Paget's disease and their relatives. This program will lead to better prevention and improvement of treatments for bone diseases, such as osteoporosis, atypical fractures and Paget's disease of bone, the latter being frequent in our population.
These novel markers will help with the selection of patients and the appropriate choice of osteoporosis treatment for a given patient, to avoid serious adverse events which are devastating for the patient and expensive for the healthcare system. Novel treatments for bone diseases may also emerge from this research. The methodology developed in this research program will be adapted to other frequent rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and Dupuytren's disease.

Learners from Hereward College's peer support team received anti-bullying training.
The team, which was launched in 2005 to help first year students adjust to college life, received a £1,500 grant from coffee retailer Starbucks.
It paid for a two-day visit from the The Diana Award Anti-Bullying Training Team, launched in memory of the former Princess of Wales, which taught the 22 learners how to challenge and change the behaviour of bullies.
Level two ICT learner Warren Fletcher, aged 17, said: "The training was very helpful. It gave us the skills we need to deal with bullying — which are confidence, listening and communication."
The grant will also fund a film showcasing the team's anti-bullying work.

But Safeway is doing things one step better. The $50 iTunes Gift Card at Safeway is on sale for $37, (if you use your Safeway Club Card) and you can print off another coupon to get the card for $2 off. So that's a $50 iTunes Gift Card on sale for 30% off!
There's no limit to the number you can buy at $13 off, but you can only use the $2 discount coupon once per transaction.
Still, these are the best deals I've ever seen for iTunes Gift Cards (that usually go only 20% off) so stock up on a bunch to use as gifts or download music and apps all year long.

POS tagging
POS tagging specifies different part of speech (POS) tags for the words in the word relation. For German the STTS tagset ist used for POS tagging [11]. In cases where no POS tagging takes place the POS tags are taken from the lexicon entries. Since the POS information usually provided by lexicons is not as explicit as the full STTS tagset only the main categories of STTS are used. This ``underspecified'' STTS (USTTS) tagset contains the categories ADJ, ART, ADV, KO, ITJ, N, CARD, AP, P, PTK, V.
In the Open-Source version no POS tagging is carried out (module No_POS) and the POS tags (out of the USTTS tagset) are taken from the lexicon entries and can, therefore, be wrong for homographs.
In a more advanced version we use a stochastic tree tagger. The tree tagger algorithm was developed and implemented by Helmut Schmid ( /fak5/ims/projekte/corplex/DecisionTreeTagger.html). The tagger is included in the Festival sources and can be found in the directory festival/src/modules/ims_german_POS/. It is used in the intonation module to determine the accents 3.8 and find the correct pronunciation of homographs (``Weg'' vs. ``weg'').

Matt Vasgersian joins ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball team
Former Padres TV play-by-play voice Matt Vasgersian will join 14-time All-Star Alex Rodriguez and analyst Jessica Mendoza to form ESPN's new Sunday Night Baseball broadcast team.
Currently a studio host and announcer for MLB Network, Vasgersian will continue in those roles. The 50-year-old broadcaster previously worked as the Padres lead play-by-play announcer for seven years before joining MLB Network for its debut on Jan. 1, 2009.
Vasgersian signed a multi-year deal to be the third-ever voice of Sunday Night Baseball, following Jon Miller and Dan Shulman. Sunday Night Baseball will begin its 29th season in 2018.
"Jon and Dan set the bar super high for Sunday Night Baseball play-by-play, so it's a real thrill for someone who still remembers his first minor league bus trip in 1991 to have a chair like this one," Vasgersian said in a release. "I know firsthand how passionate both Alex and Jessica are about baseball, and I can't wait to get started with them."
Rodriguez, who retired after the 2016 season with 696 career home runs, joined Fox Sports full-time as a studio analyst in 2017. He will continue to serve in that role while working as analyst in his multi-year deal with Sunday Night Baseball, the exclusive national MLB game of the week.
Mendoza originally joined the Sunday Night Baseball booth late in the 2015 season.
Buster Olney, a former Padres beat writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune, is also part of the team as an on-field reporter.
The Padres are not on Sunday Night Baseball's schedule in 2018.
"I am incredibly excited to work with both Alex and Matt," Mendoza said. "Matt has been a friend for a long time and someone whose work I've long admired. Alex's achievements as a player speak for themselves, and I've been greatly impressed by the passion and dedication he has put into his broadcasting career. We're going to have a lot of fun."
Said Rodriguez: "I'm looking forward to this new chapter in my broadcasting career. It's an exciting time in baseball and now I get that front row seat to tell that story every Sunday night on ESPN as well as calling my fourth postseason on Fox, where I started this journey."

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is your Seated Acupressure Diploma course over 4 days?
Quite simply because that is how long it takes to train you to the highest standard.
We don't cut corners, skip important points or rush you through your learning journey.
The course is split into two levels which enables you to absorb the information and have time to practice the techniques learned on P1, before you come back for P2. This is when we will 'fine tune' your techniques with further practical work, one to ones with the tutor, additional techniques, different length massages and so much more! All designed to ensure that you are confident and competent in your massage.
By the time you qualify with us you will have a full understanding of what you are doing and why you are doing it. We believe it is not enough to just go through the motions of giving a treatment. Instead you will be able to confidently give a treatment that is both safe and effective.
Our emphasis is on quality training which in turn produces quality practitioners.
Do you need any previous qualification in order to attend your Seated Acupressure (On Site) Massage Diploma?
Yes. It is important for students to already have knowledge of Anatomy & Physiology (A&P) and have hands on experience of Body Massage. With this knowledge and experience, it allows us to concentrate predominantly on the practical aspects of the Seated Acupressure Diploma (SAM) including practitioner posture, individual massage techniques and the flow and quality of the massage itself.
Can I still train with you if I have not yet completed my body massage course?
Yes, up to a point. You can complete the four classroom days, part of the theory exam and your case studies. You can only complete the practical exam once we have either a copy of your body massage qualification or, confirmation in writing from your training school that you have successfully completed the required exams.
If you are unsure if you are able to go ahead, just give us a call or email us.
Do you need any previous qualification in order to attend your post graduate courses?
Yes. though the requirements can vary depending on the course. All courses require an Anatomy & Physiology (A&P) and bodywork qualification. Additional requirements may be required depending on the course. Please see the individual course for specific requirements.
Where do you hold your courses?
Our courses are held at Kingsmoor Clinic in Oxfordshire
We can also bring our courses to you, subject to terms/conditions. Contact Us for further details.
What qualifications do your tutors have / Are your tutors qualified to teach?
All of our tutors have a nationally recognised teaching qualification. Each tutor qualified with AOSM, achieving high grades. We have all spent a minimum of two years as a working practitioner before being invited to train as a tutor for AOSM.
Further in house training takes place before becoming a fully fledged AOSM tutor. This in house training continues to ensure standards remain as high as possible.
If you have a question that has not been answered above, please contact us directly.

Albany Museum used the Heritage Month to gunner home its dominance around Grahamstown. Nozipho Madinda, the Museum's Mobile Museum Services Head took along the four learners that are going to Robben Island Museum's Isivivane Solwazi Spring School. They joined DJ Luvo on his weekly Afternoon Drive Time Show (15h00 - 18h00) on Tuesday to tell the listeners of Grahamstown FM Community Radio how they feel about their trip, and what they hope to learn and see.
Phumlani Cimi, the Museum Botanist, has been the guest of Kwanele Butana who runs a traditional programme every Saturdays from 13h00 - 14h00. He shared the value of the Herbarium, and how it identifies every plant's usefulness and danger. The Herbarium has over 200 000 specimen. Cimi, who specialises on indeginous plants, has also developed a recipe book on nutrious indigenous plant for the blind.
