Trend reports should be reviewed with a skeptical eye (are military-style coats or all-white ensembles ever out of style?) but there are a few genuine, of-the-moment opportunities in fashion right now. If you've managed to digest all eighty-thousand pages of the September issues--seriously, have you seen Vogue?--you know that a few of the crazier trends include colorful, fake fur, sportswear couture, and head-to-toe knitwear. (Like pajamas? It's hard to say.)
If you find head-to-toe knitwear or bright purple fake fur a little impractical, you're not alone. So let's take a look at some of the more wearable fall fads.
Yellow with a Capital "OW"
Bright, loud, even garish shades of yellow are popping up everywhere for fall. Yellow pumps have been A Thing this summer, and the trend is transitioning straight through to winter with slightly deeper, more shocking shades of sunshine. When Pantone released its Fashion Color Report for Fall 2014, "Misted Yellow"--a sort of muted mustard--was among the picks.
When it's time to shop for something modern and fresh in a bright color, it's probably time to take a trip to Dao Chloe Dao. Whether you shop her collections, or the boutique collection, you won't have any trouble finding on-trend pieces--we even spy a few yellow frocks on sale through her website.
Get Grunge
Not quite the grunge of the '90s, fall's revival includes beautiful plaids, boxy oversized jackets, and--of course--distressed jeans in all shades. Bucket bags are back, and so are overalls. Overalls! The wisdom of this return remains to be seen, but it's certainly fun for those of us who spent high school slouching around in clothes three sizes too big. Speaking of which, if you're diving back into grunge keep the look updated with fit--stick to one oversized item and keep the rest fitted.

If you're really going to commit to the 1990s, consider searching for your plaid in consignment shops and thrift stores. Plus it's always fun to go treasure hunting. Thompson's Antique Center in the Northwest Mall and The Guild Shop always have something interesting in store.
A Nod to Mod
The '90s are in, the '60s are in--pick a decade, any decade. Trapeze dresses, shifts, and mini-skirts are never really out so they aren't really the big story. Big, bold, juicy 1960s prints on the other hand? That's a little more fun. Some theorize that the Mad Men-inspired '50s references we saw on the runway are simply moving along with the show's timeline--voila! The sixties are back, thanks to AMC.
Head to The Heights to shop for funky, '60s-inspired pieces. It's a good idea to check in at Emerson Rose, which always has fun vintage and vintage-inspired pieces. Pop on up the block to Langford Market--they always have something in a bright, funky print. If you want authentic 1960s, stop at Replay on 19th, but give yourself a little time--it's a jam-packed 2500 square feet of vintage fun.

- Description
Ableton Live 10 is an extremely powerful Digital Audio Workstation which is designed for use both in the studio and on stage. Let this software accompany you through every stage of songwriting and performance and you might find your creativity being encouraged by the simple but more than capable workflow and great features such as session view.
Evolving consistently
The most recent version of Live always brings us some new toys to play with. This time round we have a considerable amount of notable improvements and while some are more "under the hood" there's plenty you'll gain from this version. One of the most exciting additions is the new Glue compressor, modelled on an analog 80s console bus compressor. Great on individual instruments or for making your whole mix tighter, the Glue compressor is a very welcome addition in Ableton Live 10 and enables you to make more professional sounding mixes easier.
The already popular EQ Eight plug in has been overhauled too making it much more usable with even more possibilities. The filters inside EQ Eight have been rebuilt, improving the sound quality and smoothness of the output. Several new features are here too, amongst them a new display mode where you can make the output spectrum appear much larger for quick and easy analysis. Other new EQ 8 features include adaptive Q, the ability to change multiple filters at once and an audition mode where you just hear the selected filters effect.
As mentioned, some of the most important changes in Ableton Live 10 are the ones you might not see instantly. A lot of the inner workings of the software have been altered to improve sound quality and really perfect the (already extremely reliable) software to ensure it can hold up on stage every night. Changes have been made to the iconic Session View too, making it even more impressive. Automation can now be recorded to clips in real time or drawn in for full control over all parameters. A new curved automation feature, present in both session and arrangement view, lets you add smooth curves to your parameters too for professional sounding effects.
Audio to MIDI conversion
A new feature for version 10 is an audio to MIDI converter, extremely handy for getting ideas down quickly. Three conversion options are available: harmony, melody and drums. All three do just what you'd expect and allow you to use samples in a new way, for example use your favourite drum break with completely new sounds. This also means you could record a guitar line in and turn it in to a synth or turn your beatboxing in to a full drum kit. The possibilities really are endless with this new feature.
All of the features you know and love
All of the changes in Live 10 are there to help make you work quicker and end up with a more professional result. If you've used Live before then you'll know how easy to create music in a variety of genres and version 10 makes this an even easier task.

A dream came true for a Roseville girl battling cancer thanks to the power of social media and the community coming together to help her meet Adam Levine at the Golden 1 Center.
Addison Crory was diagnosed with cancer in January and has been undergoing chemotherapy for the last several months.
The 10-year-old is a huge Levine fan and received four tickets by Medic Ambulance for the Maroon 5 concert Saturday night. Addison's mom waited a while to give her the news.
"We never know what's going to happen in her treatment, so we wanted to be really careful and not get overly excited, and then get disappointed because we have had a lot of that," said Chris Crory.
When Addison's doctors said it would be ok for her to go to the concert, her mom told her she had two extra tickets and could invite whoever she wanted.
"I have lots of friends, and I could have picked them instead, but I really wanted to pick Melanie because it would be cool for her to see something like this too," said Addison.
Her new friend Melanie is also fighting cancer, so Addison wanted the 13-year-old to also get out of the hospital for one night so she can enjoy the concert with her.
"It feels great being out of the hospital," Addison said. "I've never been to a concert before, but I know this is going to be amazing and fun."
On Friday, Crory posted a video on Facebook of her daughter saying, "Adam Levine is my favorite coach on 'The Voice' because he makes funny jokes. He always makes me laugh on 'The Voice' because he's just like so amazing."
Hundreds of people shared the video, but one woman went above and beyond to help make the night extra special.
"Our really good friend, Brandy – I I love her so much – she made this happen," Crory said.
Brandy Salazar and her husband asked their Facebook friends if they knew anyone connected to Levine so that Addison could meet him. Salazar emailed the Golden 1 Center, Live Nation, and dozens of other people in the music industry.
In less than 15 hours, Salazar says she received a message from the CEO of Live Nation who told her he was going to put her in touch with Levine's management company to make the meet and greet a reality.
Salazar's daughter, Hooley, is Addison's best friend. Hooley also surprised her Saturday by showing up to her house to tell her she was also going to the concert with her.
"It's amazing to be able to experience this with her, and if I wasn't going, it would be amazing just to imagine her being there," said Hooley.
Before the concert, Levine and the rest of the band spent about 15 minutes with Addison and her friends. Salazar says he ordered them pizza and took several photos with the girls and their families.
During the concert, Levine dedicated "She Will Be Loved" to Addison.
"I'm still spinning. It was completely perfect," Crory said.

Ooh! How exciting!
We're very new to this website game, and so I thought I'd just go and look at the website - as a guest - to see if I could put anything on there. And lo and behold, when I went to "Guestbook", instead of me trying to put something to test it out, I found the entry from Alfie and Mollie's owners, from their sleepover. This was a triple whammy - a) I've found out that other people can add to the website
b) It was lovely to read the nice comments
c) It was really good to find out how the labs had gone on, as they returned home.
We've still got a lot to learn, I'm afraid. Really not got the hang of Tags, which is how we can be found on search engines. At the moment, all we seem to do is add them to pages where we don't really want everyone to see them, and they don't seem to be having any effect on Google. Derr!
Also, I tried doing a "Feedback" email, but I've not received anything, so Goodness knows where my email has gone. It's certainly not appeared in our mail box, so please don't use that yet. Perhaps we'll have to try to remove the page.
Hopefully things will improve. Please bear with us.

Yes, it's another Wet n Wild post (and no, I'm not sponsored)! This time it's not their Coverall foundation but their Color Icon blushes! These retail for $2.99 and are the best blushes I've ever used. Why? They've got everything a good blush has!
My thoughts on Wet n Wild's Coverall Foundation!
I just now tried this foundation from Wet n Wild (I know, a little late to the party) and I really wanted to see if it lived up to its "covering" claims at such a bargain price! Here's what it claims: "All day wear" X not exactly. I got 6-7 hours at the most. "Lightweight, satin matte finish" ✓ I will agree that this is lightweight, and it does have a satin matte finish.

In many ways, marketing is a study of the human mind. How can you make people want what you have? Who is your target buyer and what do they want from your company? The more you understand your audience, the better your sales revenue will become.
All human beings fall prey to social trends and psychological influences. Tapping into these can dramatically improve your sales, as long as you're doing so in a positive, respectful manner. The human mind is easily swayed, as long as you know how to play your cards right.
Today, we want to talk about the best psychological sales triggers that brands can implement. Use these in your content marketing strategies to build your consumer base, as well as your industry authority and trustworthiness.
Table of Contents
Social Proof
Social proof is by far the biggest psychological sales trigger of our time. Although the term was coined back in the 1980s, its principles have continued to prove true over the past few decades. We see the effects of social influence when large groups of people in ambiguous situations make decisions based on the assumption that other people know better.
To display social proof, a company needs to highlight unfiltered, honest third-party sentiment that gives people an unbiased look at a product or service. You need your audience to believe that other people support your product or service because it genuinely helps them.
For instance, look at the review section of any product on Zappos' website. The shoe company doesn't just ask people to rate their products - it asks them to provide multiple details along with a star rating so that future customers can learn about their products quickly.
Recommended: How To Dramatically Increase Sales By Using Hard-Wired Psychology Principles
If a customer sees that a shoe has gotten stellar ratings in every category from a variety of reviewers, they're more likely to buy the product themselves.
These days, a simple star rating and a quick sentence won't convince many people that a product or service is worth buying. Whether you're selling services online, products, SaaS solutions, or something else entirely, you need people to give in-depth reasons for supporting your company.
People will conform to a herd mentality and buy a product or service that is loved by other like-minded people, but they need to see plenty of evidence that it is worthwhile.
In order to play on social proof, your brand needs to host a comprehensive analysis of your product or services. Explain the pros and cons and the ins and outs. Give people an overview that not only answers all of their questions, but reveals why so many others love it.
The "Halo" Effect
As humans, we quickly form opinions of people's characters. We often refer to someone through a generic, summative description. For example, it's common for us to say that someone is "so smart" or "very kind," even though that's a brief evaluation that potentially stems from a bias on how you view the person.
That's where the Halo Effect comes into play. In the business world, this "effect" is all about establishing authority in the field. If you want consumers to view your brand as an expert in the industry, then they need to jump to that broad description quickly.
Making people believe you have this authority is a crucial aspect of becoming a force to be reckoned with amongst your competitors.
There are many ways to ignite the Halo Effect in your own company. Start by prioritizing your E-A-T score - highlight your expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness in everything you do, especially the content you produce. Then, pair your work with relevant influencers and guest bloggers to spread the word and gain even more credibility.
Take a look at how Refresh Eyewear partnered with The Blonde Abroad, an Instagram influencer and blogger who posts about travel. She did a quick post on Instagram wearing the sunglasses, and it instantly reached thousands of her influence-able fans. Her good word on the protection and comfort of the brand's products spoke volumes.
Most importantly, make the commitment to exceptional customer experiences a part of your own personal brand. There's no better way to polish your halo and let it shine for all to see than by proving that you put customers first as an entrepreneur.
This will spark conversation and lead people to discuss your company in positive, respectful terms. According to Temkin Group's study, roughly 77 percent of customers would recommend a company to a friend after having a positive experience.
Many business sites have been discussing the recent consumer trend toward experiences instead of products. People want to buy things that enhance their lives or support something important.
In a poll conducted in the 2018 Cox Business Consumer Pulse on Small Businesses, 71 percent of the surveyed people said they would spend more money at a small business if it supported a positive social or environmental cause.
As a psychological sales trigger, altruism works to give people a reason to buy a product that goes beyond their own needs or the needs of the company. Humans like to feel that their spending habits are improving the world, and you can give them that experience through various marketing techniques. Focus on the meaning of your sales, not just the profit.
When marketing under the principle of altruism, it's vital that you keep the content relevant and authentic. People can see through brands that seem fake, and they won't support companies that seem to be using charitable causes in a manipulative way.
A great example of a company that uses altruism for both a good cause and for profit is Keep Nature Wild. For every product sold, they pick up one pound of trash in the wild.
They label their merchandise as "products with a purpose" because they help make a positive impact in nature. They also host cleanup events around the country to spread the word and meet new customers.
As long as your company has a clear, good motive with logical congruencies and promises to provide charitable feelings to buyers, you can profit immensely under this psychological trigger.
Just be careful not to go too overboard - people know you're a company and that you need to make a profit. Don't hide behind donations when you're really trying to make money. It'll disrupt people's trust in the brand.
To Sum It All Up:
Targeting the human mind is a smart way to drive sales, but you must do so carefully. Place an emphasis on social proof, the Halo Effect, and good causes to drive sales in a positive manner. People will love your brand for it, and you'll establish a respected place within your industry.

Smart Windshields: Cutting Edge or Huge Safety Concern?
We all enjoy the convenience of connected cars in our lives. But the next step in auto-tech connectivity is giving many experts cause for concern.
Safety experts in particular are taking issue with what could be best described as 'the smart windshield.' The smart windshield could provide drivers and passengers alike with the same types of driving directions, advertising, vehicle information, and ordering/payment possibilities as you have on your laptop or smartphone – on a much larger and more dramatic scale.
For example, when your vehicle fuel level reaches a certain low point, several options for purchasing fuel would be displayed (on the windshield) just out of the driver's main field of vision. These options would be configured using personal consumer data gathered from your connected car, smartphone, and/or laptop or tablet. Additionally, passengers might also see promotional offers such as sale prices or free merchandise. Driving directions to the nearest fuel filling station would also be offered at this time.
Are They Really Safe?
From a safety standpoint, the question is: Should the windshield be used for anything other than observing the road ahead? Opponents of the developmental smart windshield say no. Supporters, however, say that smart windshield technology could actually make driving safer.
First, consider that some automakers have been using a windshield display for more than a decade – with very few if any repercussions. The GM Heads Up Display projects instrument panel displays data directly on the windshield in front of the driver. BMW, Hyundai, and Toyota all use similar systems. This eliminates the need for the driver to look away from the road and check speed and other pertinent data. If interactive internet based options could be added to this type of format it could actually promote safety.
Smart windshield supporters also point to the fact that mapping and navigational data could eventually be superimposed onto the road in front of the driver. Google Street View currently displays information on a static image in this way. This could effectively eliminate another reason for the driver to look away from the roadway while the vehicle is in motion.
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics indicate that 2015 saw the largest rise in traffic related fatalities in fifty-years. This rise has been contributed to driver distraction caused by mobile phones and the apps which they contain. The smart windshield could offer a solution to drivers looking away from the road and at their mobile devices. By superimposing the app screen onto a section of the windshield, driver distraction could be reduced significantly. Combined with voice control technology, the smart windshield could actually save lives.
Widespread Smart Windshields On the Way?
This innovative new technology may be closer to production vehicles than you think. In order to sharpen the images projected onto the smart windshield, automakers have been purchasing the same glass used in Apple's iPhone through Corning, Inc. Corning Chief Technology Officer Jeff Evenson stated in a recent interview that smart windshield technology could be commonplace in two-years or less. Corning is working diligently to expand the current 10-inch size of their smart windshield display to include the entire windshield. Evenson also mentioned the fact that this special glass would be thinner, lighter, and more durable than conventional auto glass.
Love or hate it, the smart windshield is coming. Testing and development is ramping up across the country and major players like Apple and Samsung are already heavily involved.
Whether enhanced technology finds itself to your windshield or not, accidents will happen. Connect Auto Glass provides full, fast, mobile windshield repair. Few people are financially ready for a complete windshield replacement. We know that. That's why Connect Auto Glass offers pay over time. We will work with your insurance company and also accept Snap Financing.

SuJaeBi is a traditional Korean soup made with flour dough and vegetables. Since I posted many~~ spicy foods so far, I'll show a non-spicy Korean dish. This dish shows that not all Korean foods are spicy. hehe… Today I will use kelp and anchovies for the broth, but you also use clams or kimchi (or other spicy seasonings.) I like SuJaeBi with clam the most, but I didn't get the chance to make it this time. Maybe next time… 🙂 On a rainy day, cook SuJaeBi and eat it while watching the rain, it tastes better that way. 😉 (Sometimes Korean people want to eat certain Korean dishes on rainy days such as SuJaeBi or Jeon or BuChimGae

Image courtesy of The PGA.
THE author of what many have described as the "The Bible" for golf coaches returned to The PGA for a special event to mark the 50 years since the publication of "The Search for the Perfect Swing."
Dr Alastair Cochran's book remains one of the seminal pieces of work that has applied scientific methods to study the game of golf. It continues to be referenced today by scientists, educators and practitioners across the world of golf.
Cochran was the guest of honour at PGA headquarters inside The Belfry, Sutton Coldfield, on May 21 and his book's popularity was demonstrated with almost 100 people attending the sold out event inside the PGA National Training Academy.
"It's been a life-changing thing for me," said Cochran. I've always been an academic and a research physicist but this book as got me all round the world.
"I personally didn't anticipate the sort of impact the book would have on golf. There's a great cult following who think it's the best thing since sliced bread. It was fun to do and it got a few other people starting to think about things like that.
"When I finished doing some work for The PGA on their manuals three to four years ago, I thought that was it. But meeting these guys got me excited about golf again and what they're doing."
A select group of world-leading experts who are involved in researching various elements of the game were also in attendance.
They included Dr Rob Neal, CEO of Golf BioDynamics, the R&A's Director of Equipment Standards and Chief Technology Officer, Professor Steve Otto, and Professor Eric Wallace, Professor of Biomechanics and Sports Technology at Ulster University.
Dr Sasho MacKenzie, Professor at St. Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia, Canada, also flew in especially for the event.
David Colclough, Head of Coaching & Sports Science at The PGA, added: "It was a great honour to recognise the considerable contribution that Alastair has made to the development of the game of golf through his original work with 'The Search for the Perfect Swing.
"We were also delighted to get such a wonderful line-up of speakers, who so neatly related the most current research findings to Alistair's work from 1968.
"I think it showed what an essential read the book still is for anyone serious about understanding the science behind the game."

Angry Storm Over China's Housing Bubble
Dr. Liu, a research fellow at Peking University, believes that the speculative land purchase binge that peaked in 2009 was a result of the $600 billion stimulus money the central government pumped into the market at the end of 2008. The majority of the amount, experts say, has been invested in the real estate market by SOEs.
The SOEs comprise the majority of the "land kings," said a Guangzhou Daily report. Their spending has played an important part in driving up land and housing prices.
The stimulus money is your culprit. Speculators tapped into that money to buy 3-4 units each and by leaving them empty, they create a chronic shortage for the owner-occupier buyers, the angry ones mentioned in the article. Otherwise you are arguing that people wanted apartments, so SOEs built apartments, lots of them, boatloads of them, and somehow that influx of supply made the price go sky high. Seriously. Does that make any sense at all?
Stated another way: Say that in a village of 10,000 people there is a minor wok shortage, say 1,000 people could really use a new wok. So an SOE comes in builds a wok factory, makes 5,000 woks and the market distortions of free land, cheap steel, and low financing, they sell them for bargain prices, 6 yuan each (about a $1). In a normal market, the 1000 people get a wok and 4,000 get an early replacement because they are so cheap, why not get one. But instead of this normal consumptive market, let's instead say that the villagers decide they are going to retire on the value of the woks they have hoarded in their attic. NOW we have the real estate market in China. Everyone spends every last penny they can beg and borrow to buy as many woks as they can, from anywhere they can. The 1000 poor wokless slobs are still wokless and some 1000 of the more money savvy villagers own 5 woks each, certain they are going to be rich rich rich, forever.
But everyone blames the high wok prices on the SOE and the state that gave them the land for the factory and the bank that loaned them the money at 0% interest, because that HAS to be the reason woks are unattainable for the ordinary villager.

When the foot or ankle experiences trauma, a fracture may occur. Causes of foot and ankle fractures can vary; in some cases, an obvious impact to the foot or a fall can be behind a fracture. Alternatively, fractures can also occur because of increased stress on the bone over time. The location of the fracture can often give your podiatrist information on how the fracture occurred.
Pain, especially when bearing weight, is a telltale sign of a fracture. Limping due to this pain is a further sign of a foot or ankle fracture. Other symptoms include inflammation, bruising, deformity, and tenderness. A deformity may occur due to a shift in bone alignment or a joint dislocation near the fracture. While pain is a significant symptom of breakage, a patient who has nerve damage or who has diabetes may not feel this pain. In this instance, your podiatrist will look for additional signs to determine whether a fracture has occurred.
If you are experiencing severe pain, cannot walk without limping, have an open wound near the suspected break, or have numbness or tingling in the toes, you should see your podiatrist.
Diabetes can cause two problems that can potentially affect the feet: Diabetic neuropathy and Peripheral Vascular Disease. Diabetic neuropathy occurs when nerves in your legs and feet become damaged, which prevents you from feeling heat, cold, or pain. The problem with diabetic neuropathy is that a cut or sore on the foot may go unnoticed and the cut may eventually become infected. This condition is also a main cause of foot ulcers. Additionally, Peripheral vascular disease also affects blood flow in the body. Poor blood flow will cause sores and cuts to take longer to heal. Infections that don't heal do to poor blood flow can potentially cause ulcers or gangrene.
There are certain foot problems that are more commonly found in people with diabetes such as Athlete's foot, calluses, corns, blisters, bunions, foot ulcers, ingrown toenails, and plantar warts. These conditions can lead to infection and serious complications such as amputation. Fortunately, proper foot care can help prevent these foot problems before they progress into more serious complications.
Each day you should wash your feet in warm water with a mild soap. When you finish washing your feet, dry them carefully especially between your toes. You should also perform daily foot inspections to ensure you don't have any redness, blisters, or calluses. Furthermore, if you are diabetic, you should always wear closed-toed shoes or slippers to protect your feet. Practicing these tips will help ensure that your feet are kept healthy and away from infection.
If you have diabetes, contact your podiatrist if you have any of the following symptoms on your feet: changes in skin color, corns or calluses, open sores that are slow to heal, unusual and persistent odor, or changes in skin temperature. Your podiatrist will do a thorough examination of your feet to help treat these problematic conditions.
Although it may be tempting to wear flip-flops in warm weather, they are not the best choice of footwear for your feet. Flip-flops may be ideal for the beach, pool, spa, and shared showers, but you should avoid wearing them unless it is completely necessary.
Flip-flops only have a small strip of fabric holding your foot in place, but your toes need a better grip to keep your foot in place. The repetitive gripping can lead to an overuse of your muscles, which could result in tendinitis. This is only one of the many problems that stem from wearing flip-flops too often.
Flip flops aren't good for extensive walking because they fail to offer arch support, heel cushioning, or shock absorption. As a result, people who wear flip flops are at a higher risk of experiencing an ankle sprain. Additionally, these shoes offer little protection for your feet, putting those who wear them at a greater risk for stubbed toes, glass cuts, and puncture wounds.
Although flip flops aren't recommended for everyday use by anyone, it is especially important for diabetics to avoid them. A diabetic foot injury can easily become very serious, and it may even lead to amputation.
If you are experiencing pain from wearing flip-flops, you shouldn't be hesitant to replace them with a more comfortable shoe that offers more support. If your flip-flop foot pain doesn't go away, you should seek assistance from a podiatrist right away. It is possible that you may have a more serious foot problem such as a stress fracture or arthritis.
Sever's disease, also known as calcaneal apophysitis is a common bone disorder that occurs during childhood. The disease is defined as an inflammation of the growth plate in the heel. When a child has a growth spurt, his heel bone grows faster than the muscles, tendons, and ligaments in his leg. This disease is a result of overuse. The people who are most likely to be affected by this disease are children who are in a growth spurt, especially boys who are from the ages of 5 to 13 years old. 60% of children with Sever's disease have both heels involved.
Symptoms of this disease are heel pain that intensifies during running and jumping activities. The pain is typically localized to the posterior part of the heel. Symptoms may be severe, and they can easily interfere with daily activities. Children who play soccer, baseball, and basketball are more likely to develop Sever's disease.
Your doctor will diagnose your child based on his or her symptoms, x-rays are generally not helpful in diagnosing this disease. Your doctor may examine both heels and ask your child questions about his or her activity level in sports. Your doctor may then use the squeeze test on your child's heel to see if there is any pain. Nevertheless, some doctors might still use x-rays to rule out any other issues such as fractures, infections, and tumors.
Sever's disease can be prevented by maintaining good flexibility while your child is growing. Another prevention method is to wear good-quality shoes that have firm support and a shock-absorbent sole. Sever's disease can be treated by ceasing any activity that causes heel pain. You should apply ice to the injured heel for 20 minutes 3 times a day. Additionally, orthotics should be used for children who have high arches, flat feet, or bowed legs.
If you suspect your child has Sever's disease, you should make an appointment with your podiatrist to have his or her foot examined. Your doctor may recommend nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen or naproxen to relieve pain. In more severe cases, your child may need a cast to rest his or her heel. Fortunately, Sever's disease does not cause long-term foot problems. After treatment, your child should start to feel better within two weeks to two months.

It's not odd for a couple to discover they will be parents, when this is the previous situation they would have liked to confront life.
An unplanned pregnancy can cause emotional torture in the minds of some young individuals.
In this guide, I would like to share unplanned pregnancy information with young people so that they can ride this storm, even if they happen to find themselves in this kind of circumstance.
So, what should you do if you find you will have a baby you haven't planned for?
First thing to do if you get to know your girlfriend will have a baby is to guarantee your support for her. Assure her of your love and vow to stay with her.
Let her feel that she didn't make a mistake by deciding to accept you as her boyfriend.
How could you let yourself get pregnant! I am not prepared to have a baby! You have to abort it or else it's over!" That's pride that you have to consume in the interest of the infant.
Understand your girlfriend is experiencing emotional upheaval. Thus, say words that'll soothe her soul and calm her down.
2. Accept the Reality
You need to deal with the fact that you're both likely to be new parents very soon. Therefore, channels all of your enegrgies and feelings into discussing what you will do today to salvage the situation, rather than on blaming each other, accusing each other, and wallowing in self-pity.
3. Forget the Past
Focusing on the past and about the error you've made is like driving on a street with your eyes fixed on the rearview mirror.
Yes, sometimes think about the mistake you've made so you can learn lessons from it–lessons that can allow you to prevent this mistake again in the future. But, both of you will need to focus on the road ahead.
Additional forgive yourself and forgive your spouse. Remind yourself that as individual s you are, you're bound to create terrible mistakes sometimes.
Forgiving yourself will provide both of you peace of mind so you can both use all of your mental faculties to having brainstorming sessions to come up with constructive suggestions to help resolve the issue.
An unplanned pregnancy can be quite stressful for youth, particularly if you're both teenagers. This is because you're already going through internal changes that you sometimes find hard to come to terms with. So, when this type of negative external change is added, it can cause you to believe the entire world is coming to an end.
So, you must decide to be resilient so you will have the ability to weather the storm and get on with your life. Resilience is the capacity to recoup from shocking information or disappointments without going to pieces, or learning how to adjust to change.
Choosing to be springy will help you in three ways:
· It will help you to endure the new situation so that It Doesn't negatively affect your studies or your own job;
· It will help you to look at the seeming terrible situation and see a chance in it;
· you're less likely to begin taking drugs or drinking alcohol when you are feeling overwhelmed by your new scenario.
An unplanned pregnancy in a connection can cause a number of emotions to rise on your spouse. This will result in your lover to feel confused because he or she tries to decide how to feel about the entire situation and which option to choose to fix the problem.
Hence, the man or woman who had been so loving can suddenly begin treating you as if he or she doesn't love you anymore.
So, you'll have to exercise some patience and try to comprehend that your partner might not be thinking straight at this instant. At this moment, what you need is teamwork and collaboration, rather than branch.
1 unplanned pregnancy at a relationship advice that you have to consider is to learn how much you'll need so as to look after your baby from the site of the US Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion.
By way of instance, working as a writer or editor on the internet can enable you to earn about $61,240 annually, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. Writing and editing are tasks anybody without previous experience can learn how to perform easily.
Some young women and men decide to abort a baby because they believe they can't cater for a baby financially, or because they believe they aren't in a position to manage the responsibilities which go with looking after a baby.
So, have faith in God and believe that He will provide ways for you to look after the baby. Additional remind yourself that the infant in the mother's uterus can be a boon for the both of you, should you prefer to keep it.
Additionally, remember there are options you may consider. By way of instance, you may give your baby up for adoption, or you could fall on relatives and friends that will assist you look after the baby.

Starting from this pageant onwards, I will begin posting a reaction piece about the results of the recently concluded international male and female pageants hours (at most less than a day) after they are announced. This is to check and confirm my "fearful" forecasts, and to express my take on the results.
My heart rejoiced when I learned the news that my countryman, June Macasaet is the winner of Manhunt International 2012. I guess my prediction that he'll either go all the way to the top or miss the cut entirely went in his favor (to my delight). I admit that I thought there were other contenders who were stronger, but well most fell by the wayside with the exception of my original favorite to win it all, Sweden's Peter Jonsson, who became June's runner-up. It's a just reward for the best ever representative we have ever fielded in this pageant–June truly deserved to outdo Vince Pinto's 3rd place finish 15 years ago.
Now for the other runner-up placements, I half-expected Macau's Martin Wang (the 2nd runner-up) to go far after hearing feedback from various insiders, but I still have misgivings about that placement as his face is simply too unattractive. I also don't think he deserved to win the Best Physique special award–I would've rather given that to Singapore's Jason Chee, the 4th runner-up. Yes, Martin's got a uniquely slender, rippled, and sinewy physique but Jason Chee's physique is simply pure beefy perfection. I'm totally okay with Puerto Rico's Jimmy Perez Rivera's 3rd runner-up placement.
I got 9 out of 15 semifinalists correct from my "Fearful" forecast. It's not bad, especially since I was extremely way off last year with a 6/15 batting average (just too many headscratching choices that year). But the ones who made it that I missed, they all figured in my "Bubbling Under" list, anyway, and with an astounding group like this, the final outcome is still pleasing and extremely satisfying. It's inevitable that because of limited slots there will be some gorgeous contenders left out, though I'm still wondering what caused Germany's Cedric Pick to be shut out (hmmm… maybe it's the unruly hairstyle in the evening wear preliminaries, like in the photo below). He's the inaugural winner of the Lucas Malvacini award.
I noticed that with the exception of Romania's Andrei Malaescu Dumitriu, the other "scruffy" holdouts decided to shave off their stubbles for the preliminary judging as they finally learned of the "clean-cut" directive. It worked wonders for Switzerland's Lavdrim Sylejmani who made the Top 15, though not for Lebanon's Elie Najem, Turkey's Bugra Tugrul, and Vietnam's Nguyen Quang Huan.
What are the factors that brought about June Macasaet's win? I think besides his obviously handsome features, June's beefily balanced physique and projection skills during the various wardrobe rounds (costume, formal wear, and street wear) were key in giving him the edge to win it all as he most likely consistently performed well in those rounds.
It's a major deal that June was able to shine brightest amidst an astounding group of competitors like this year's group. All I have left to say is: congratulations on a job well done, and it's nice to see that his fellow contestants welcomed the results. It's great to know that the "Homeland" streak for 2012 is now broken!

On Sunday, July 21, 2019, Hamline's Creative Writing Programs will host a Graduate Recognition ceremony to honor all the students who have completed their studies and will be receiving an MFA from Hamline University.
We will be featuring our soon-to-be alumni as they look back on their time at Hamline University. Today's new graduate is Eva Kaélin Slattery. She currently lives in both Minnesota and Spain. Follow her on Instagram and Twitter.
What do you do when you're not working on packets?
I'm an elite competitive dancer (soloist) for the USA and compete internationally as a soloist! I also travel a lot for work, church, dance, and watching my younger brother perform professionally as a principal dancer around the world. I read a TON, of course, and I also play the flute, make arts and crafts with my sister, and am very involved in my church.
How did you hear about the Hamline MFAC Program?
I did the BFA track as an undergrad with Hamline (I also majored in English and Spanish), and wanted MORE with Creative Writing. I felt I wasn't done, so I met with Mary Rockcastle after I'd realized everything I'd written for the BFA was YA or MG and she told me all about the MFAC program and what it would look like for me.
What was your writing experience prior to entering the program?
I am autistic and a synesthete, and could write before I could read, around age 1. I have always been writing stories… and as previously stated, I went through the BFA program at Hamline.
What do especially remember about your first residency?
How amazing and awesome everyone was, and how effective, respectful, and beneficial the workshops were! I was also afraid of Ron Koertge and all his knowledge for the longest time (I was in his workshop group with Nina LaCour) until I got him as my advisor first semester and realized how chill and absolutely incredible he is!
Have you focused on any one form (PB, novel, nonfiction, graphic novel) or age group in your writing? Tried a form you never thought you'd try?
I've tried all of them!!! But my sweet spot is YA fantasy, with autistic protagonists.
Tell us about your Creative Thesis.
This is a story I've had in my heart and mind since I saw Josephine Wall's "Bubble Flower" painting when I was twelve years old. Kelani is a sixteen-year-old autistic synesthete who lives in a magical world where forgotten elements of other places come to thrive. Along with her color-changing winged cat Bombadill, Kelani embarks on small missions for the realm's Oracle Order, a secret organization headed by the Enchantress, who along with her brother the Enchanter, rules the captivating world of LéClairer. Though these beloved monarchs promote peace and celebrate the realm's diversity, dark creatures lead by the Nightmare King, banished five hundred years previously, have begun to creep back, threatening to destroy LéClairer and everyone in it.
When Kelani's adoptive sister Greer unexpectedly joins the Order, Kelani has to make a choice on how much of herself she's willing to open up to Greer, and if she can build true friendship in the sister she was given. Kelani's been plagued with nightmares, horrible memories and visions of the past she ran away from—and fights through her anxiety daily. After agreeing to go on a mission with Greer that ends in a goblin attack, her anxiety explodes: her "otherness" could be a hinderance to her missions to stop the growing darkness from destroying her safe haven.
The Nightmare King is a terrifying being who takes your greatest, defining yet horrific memories and spins them into nightmares, confusing what is real and what isn't. The brain uses the same place for both memory and dreams… what horrific things would happen if this villain could manipulate your memories, making nightmares real and changing who you are and what you believe?
With the Nightmare King's forces expanding, and Kelani's memories becoming reality in LéClairer, her difference seems inescapable. More people notice her aversion to touch, her extreme sensitivity to sound, her difficulties in sometimes following a conversation or idea that isn't black and white. But some are realizing her extraordinary talents. The Order tries to do all that they can to figure out the Nightmare King's plans; and Kelani's talent for noticing small details is rewarded by going on special missions with a glittery, golden boy named Ezra, who makes her heart rate increase and for some strange reason doesn't make her feel like jumping out of her skin when they touch. As her nightmares become darker along with her world, Ezra and Kelani grow closer, and Kelani starts thinking that maybe she is capable of having a friend other than her beloved cat and adoptive family.
But Ezra's love seems to come with conditions, and Kelani's worst fears are realized when a boy from Earth gets trapped in the Place between Sleep and Awake, and she's instructed to save him. As this new relationship forms, Kelani has to look past all she has tried to forget to save the Earth boy, Finhas, with the idea of him representing every evil she left when she escaped Ireland to come to LéClairer… But Finhas is a calm yet excitable, silly seventeen-year-old soccer player who immediately wants to learn everything about LéClairer and Kelani's life there. He constantly surprises her by his reactions to her uniqueness, his easy friendship, and his willingness to fight to save a world he just entered.
But nothing is certain in the battle against the Nightmare King; knowing whose minds have been altered is near impossible. And with the trickster Ezra coming in and out of her life, lines become blurred. Kelani wonders if trusting anyone but herself is safe. After all, the Nightmare King knows all of her memories, which hold her greatest fears and deepest desires—what if Finhas was sent as a trap?
This is a tale of loneliness, atypicality, tragedy, love, bravery, and the power of overcoming self-doubt to let the world see who you really are, unapologetically.
What changes have you seen in your writing during your studies?
I feel like I've changed dramatically with every packet; Anne Ursu (semester 3 and 4 advisor) and Ron Koertge (Semester 1 advisor) pushed me beyond what I thought I could do, and were so hard on me, and set what I thought were impossible goals for me… but as Anne wrote in her last latter to me, I completely smashed them! I am completely amazed at myself– I don't even recognize the writer I am semester to semester, much less from before the program! Mary Logue, AKA The Plot Queen (2nd semester advisor) turned my work upside down and inside out and got me thinking logistically in a way that finally made sense, and that changed everything….
Any thoughts for entering students or for people considering the program?
If you want to be challenged by the most incredible, tough, and brilliant children's writers of our time, COME TO THIS PROGRAM! If Hogwarts is your home, COME TO THIS PROGRAM! If your advisor sets you a task that you think you can't manage…they know what they're doing, and we are here for you, and you will SMASH IT and be amazed at your progress!!! Always be open about communication with your advisors and classmates and the alumni! We are such a supportive, loving MFAC community and you can find a safe and magical place here.

Australian SMEs can look forward to a generally bright financial outlook in 2017 despite some uncertainty in the wake of world political events, such as the looming Trump presidency, Brexit and China's troubled economy. We don't know exactly how those events will affect Australian businesses so it seems that most SMEs are taking a business-as-usual approach at the moment, with overall confidence reasonably high.
The mining downturn will put some pressure on Western Australian businesses but there is still growth in WA; it just isn't quite as strong as the growth we expect to see in the eastern states. And there is still some concern around interest rates with most SMEs hoping they stay low.
We have identified three key trends likely to emerge or continue in 2017.
1. Innovation will increase
The government's focus on innovation is a positive opportunity for SMEs, and there are numerous grants and tax benefits available for businesses looking to innovate. We recommend businesses seek professional advice to ensure they're not missing out on any of the grants, rebates or other benefits available to them.
2. International investment goes both ways
RSM has seen a large number of Australian clients investing internationally, which can be a useful way to spread risk.
At the same time, Chinese business interests in Australia are likely to increase, both in terms of state-owned enterprises and private business. These organisations have demonstrated a strong preference for property investments, and it's important that they understand the rules for conducting business and investing in Australia.
3. Technology will be a key focus area and SMEs need help to protect themselves
SMEs can benefit from putting the right technology in place, whether it's to streamline their accounting processes or enable innovation. For example, using a cloud-based accounting system can reduce the time and effort spent on managing accounts effectively, which is a win for the client and their accounting firm.
Similarly, making sure the systems used within the business are integrated and offer operational efficiencies can make a big difference to that business's cashflow. So accounting firms are likely to look to bolster their own skills in these areas so they can be more helpful to their clients, acting as business advisers and not just financial advisers.
Technology has always been a key focus for RSM and it's important to continue to stay ahead of developments in these areas so we can keep helping our clients. For example, our cybersecurity team can help clients mitigate the risks associated with a greater dependence on technology. We've seen one scam recently where hackers gained access to the CEO's email and was able to send fake email messages both within the business and to business partners and customers that looked completely legitimate. This creates a huge potential for negative fallout, so we can develop strategies that help businesses avoid such attacks.
These are just some of the ways a good accounting firm can help SMEs understand and navigate the current business environment successfully, paving the way for growth. It's important to be aware of these key trends so businesses can leverage every opportunity.
Jamie O'Rourke, Chairman, RSM Australia

FidoDogTreats.com Teams With Student Entrepreneurs With Autism
Beginning in mid-January, online pet-supply retailer FidoDogTreats.com is including dog treats baked by students with autism with all customer orders -- free of charge. "Puppy Love" biscuits are hand-made by a small class of students with special needs at Seaholm High School in Birmingham, MI. Debra Lloyd, a special education teacher in the Birmingham Public Schools, started the program for her students in early 2009 as a way to assist with their vocational training.
We are very pleased that FidoDogTreats.com recognizes the achievements of these students. What started as a way to develop their individual talents has turned into an actual student-run business," said Lloyd as she explained her non-profit program. The biscuits were first sold at Premier Pet Supply in Beverly Hills, MI. "The Puppy Love program really assists the students in gaining real world work experience while developing a sense of self-achievement." The students learn valuable lessons in money-management and accounting while reinvesting all profits from the venture into additional supplies and materials. The dog treats, which come in both a peanut-butter and beef variety, are being shipped in 4oz "Puppy Love" packages. FidoDogTreats.com is purchasing the treats directly from the student centered business and is, in turn, sending them to customers on a complimentary basis.
Community involvement is an essential part of the company's mission, according to co-founder L. Hope Hesano. "Giving back to the community has been an essential part of our business plan since the company's inception" said Hesano. "It is very exciting to be able to share the achievements of these students with our customers around the country at no cost to them." Hesano went on to add that, "(w)e are optimistic that our support of these students will assist in the long-term continuation of this rewarding school program."

I have an MP3 question.
In the ForumsEdit
Silent Vista-loving majority?Edit
Hee hee, get off my cloudEdit
Sorely wanted to find an MP3 of that song to attach, but that might be infringing…
Just had a discussion with a coworker about music, iPods, ISP caps etc. and we thought of something that I don't know if you have covered. He is a photo enthusiast and has over 300GB of his photos stored locally, and was thinking of some online backup solutions in addition to his redundant local storage.
With the move to Cloud computing and online backup, users like him may potentially be moving lots of data (maybe even Yottabytes in aggregate) through the tubes. Could the advent of universal ISP caps (even as generous as 250GB/month) put a crimp in the utility of the 'Cloud' for backup and restore of large amounts of data (including things like purchased MP3 files which could look like infringing content to deep packet inspectors).
Just a thought..

Portugese Lion KingEdit
Hi! I just wanted to let you guys know that you have at least one Portuguese listener, me. And by the way, the Lion King was pretty big in Portugal and it was the first Disney movie dubbed in Portuguese. Before that, the Disney movies were dubbed in Brazilian Portuguese which is quite different (like American English and United Kingdom English) (Wikipedia confirms this). You guys make a great show.
Take care,

Hey JaMoTo,
I was listening to episode 718 and you were talking about how there ought to be a tour guide site for geek-themed places. So I ran out and registered http://www.geek-maps.com and put up version 0.10. I'm hoping people will send in suggestions of locations and how to improve the site. My next goal is to add the ability to query by state, city, or other options that are relevant.

|The thrills at the final meeting of the season at the Marine Gardens Speedway on 12 October were supplied by the Australian rider Billy Lamont who, on his second appearance at the track, was in almost invincible form.
He won the premier award in each of the three events and in winning the Edinburgh Handicap from the scratch mark established a new record for four laps from a standing start, covering the distance in 1 min 29 and one fifth secs.
His main opposition was limited to Billy Galloway as Drew McQueen took no further part in the racing after he had injured a hand in the opening inter-track race against Glasgow.
George McKenzie won his heat of the Gold Sash but came down in circling the track after passing the post and did not ride again.
In addition to winning three races and breaking a record, Lamont equalled Eric Burnet's lap record of 21secs.
Edinburgh gained another victory over Glasgow in the inter-track event. George McKenzie won two races for the home track and Jimmy Pinkerton and Val Valente, without Drew McQueen's opposition, gained victories for Glasgow. Edinburgh, however, held the balance on minor placings to gain the verdict by four points.

Match Race ( 4 Laps Flying Start ) Sprouts Elder Bt Drew McQueen 1min 24
|21 September's racing at the Marine Gardens Speedway was an undoubted triumph for Sprouts Elder.
He had performed in noteworthy fashion earlier in the afternoon at the White City speedway in Glasgow and his victories there were supplemented at Portobello by a win over Drew McQueen in a match race and victory in the Silver Sash event.
Owing to his accident in the international trial, McQueen had been idle of track work for a month and though he performed well on Saturday evening, the old skill and dash were absent. Consequently Elder, after drawing inside position in the match race, though having to ride hard, was comfortably ahead of the Scot to the end. Both McQueen and Elder reached the final stage od the Sash race, but McQueen's efforts to retrieve himself were doomed to failure. He had trouble with his engine and was in the end forced to rely on a borrowed mount. Yet he early led Elder but lost ground on the bends and in an effort to regain distance slipped up. With Andy Milne also down, Elder had an easy win.
He was presented with the Sash by the Marquis of Tweedale who waas present with a party.
Elder raced exceedingly well in the handicap race and was not very far away in the end, but Archie Chisholm and Andy Milne made good use of their starts and narrow though the margin was kept ahead of Sprouts to the end.

|A crowd of about 8000 was present at the dirt track racing at the Marine Gardens Speedway on 14 August.
The programme was attractive, among the riders being Vic Huxley, the Australian crack from the White City, London and Billy Galloway, who made his reappearance after an accident which had kept him off the track for some time.
Huxley was in good form and reached the final of the handicap event. This race looked at one point as if it would be won by Jock Duncan but his handicap allowance was partially lost in the second lap when his machine lost speed for a time and in the end he was headed by both Jim Holder and Vic Huxley, who fought out a fine finish for Holder to retain his lead by a very narrow margin.
Huxley improved on this performance when, in a four laps match, he had a fine victory over Drew McQueen. McQueen made amends for this in the semi-final of the Gold Sash at the expense of Billy Galloway, after the latter had headed him on the first bend.
Huxley completed a good night's work when he won the final in fine fashion, leading both McQueen and Galloway from start to finish.

|The miserable weather conditions which prevailed on 10 August had a marked effect on the number of spectators at the Marine Gardens Speedway, there being only some six or seven thousand present. Notwithstanding the heavy rain, however, the sport was of a good standard and the times in several of the races were remarkably fast.
For once there were not any Australian competitors. The chief visitors were Roger Frogley and George Wigfield. Interest in Frogley's appearance arose mainly from the possibility of his meeting Drew McQueen in the final of the Scottish Gold Gauntlet race and thus renewing some of their exciting tussles of the past.
They duly met in the final but the race was never in any sense a duel between them. Frogley was drawn on the extreme outside berth with McQueen next to him and it was actually at the first bend that the race was decided. While McQueen was endeavouring to get to the inside of the other two finalists, Andy Milne and Jack Ormiston, from the Wembley track, Frogley adopted Frank Arthur's tactics and flew round on the outside, with the result that McQueen was baulked on the turn. Frogley raced right into the back straight on the lead and settled down ahead of Ormiston with McQueen third. The Edinburgh man made every effort to get on terms, but with Ormiston keeping very close to the white line he was unable to find a way through and eventually he came down on a bend, thus allowing Frogley to win practically without challenge.
The Edinburgh Handicap provided some fine racing. McQueen had the most convincing victory in the heats, covering the distance in 1 minute 31 and four fifths seconds, but he failed to reproduce this form and though appearing in the final could get no nearer than third.
The unlucky man of the evening was the Glasgow rider James Edward who after leading the field for practically the whole journey fell on the final bend in the semi-final.
Dickie won but could not repeat the performance in the final, which went to Oliver Goodfellow, Polmont. From his 5 second mark Goodfellow speedily settled down in to the lead which he maintained to the end, despite a strong challenge from George Wigfield.

|The previous flying start record of 1 min. 26 secs for four laps of the Marine Gardens Speedway, set up by Billy Galloway, the Australian, was beaten eight times on 7 August when a crowd of between 25,000 and 30,000 were present at the Open Track Championships.
The championship (carrying with it a prize of £1000 and permanent possession of the Scottish gold helmet) was won by Frank Arthur, the Australian, who met Jack Parker, Coventry, and Sprouts Elder, the American, in the final.
The entry list of 32 riders included most of the best known dirt track riders engaged in the sport and the prospects of good racing were extremely bright.
As in the Scottish Open Championship meeting, only three riders rode in each heat and the comparative freedom for the riders which was thus secured resulted in a remarkably small number of spills.
There were very few races in which all three entrants were not still going all out at the finish.
The preliminary heats began the evening series of records and assured the appearance of some of the first favourites in the later round.
In the first race J. Pinkerton, Glasgow, was narrowly challenged at the final bend by Norrie Isbister but won in a final dash up the straight.
Frank Duckett, the Australian, fell without serious injury at the first bend of the second race and Dick Wise and Freddie Hore, also Australians, had similar bad luck in the third and sixth heats respectively. Hore was carried off with a bruised foot.
Sprouts Elder, in the third heat, was brilliantly challenged by Jack Chapman, Australia and for two laps the spectators were kept guessing until Elder established himself with a comfortable lead on the inside position. It was an amazingly quick race, Elder beating the record by 2 seconds.
In the fifth heat, one of the best races of the evening, Drew McQueen, the Scottish Open Champion, won in a thrilling race with Roger Frogley. McQueen had the inside position and led from the start but, taking his corners rather widely, gave Frogley a chance which the English rider did his level best to improve upon. McQueen won with little to spare in just one second more than Elder's time.
In the seventh heat, Frank Arthur, who was making his first appearance at the Marine Gardens track won easily from Ivor Creek, England.
In the first semi-final Pinkerton, the Glasgow rider, challenged Sprouts Elder with great courage, although Elder drew ahead and won with plenty of room to spare.
In the second semi-final Drew McQueen was eliminated. Parker, the Coventry rider, who (like Arthur) was making his debut on this speedway, went ahead at the beginning and McQueen was third. McQueen overdrew Ron Johnston, the Australian, racing him neck and neck for a few yards, but failed to reach Parker, who equalled Elder's record time.
In the third semi-final the record was again equalled, this time by Frank Arthur.
In the final the race went to Arthur. After a false start the three riders, Arthur, Elder and Parker, rounded the first bend practically neck and neck. Then Elder led but, with Arthur close behind, until at the top bend Arthur skilfully cut in front of the American who just at that moment withdrew from the race owing to engine trouble or some other cause. Arthur was never in acute danger of being beaten by Parker, although it was a well run race, the time returned for the winner being 1 min 23 secs, which constitutes a new record for the track. There was great enthusiasm in the crowd at the finish and the winner was carried round the track.

|he dirt track racing programme at the Marine Gardens on 3 August provided 10,000 spectators with brisk and interesting sport and enabled Drew McQueen to win the gold sash and thus become holder of all the track trophies.
He was in good form and though for one and a half laps in the final he was headed by Buster Frogley, McQueen always had the measure of the Englishman and once he gained the lead he won in comfortable fashion.
Once again, however, McQueen disappointed in the handicap event. He was set the task of giving starts all round but his engine put the task beyond him. He certainly was able to get beyond the initial heat but only after having stopped and restarted. By then the other competitors, except the winner J. Logie, had retired and McQueen gained second place without opposition.
The semi-final finished McQueen, his engine failing him and causing him to retire.
In the other semi-final there was a nasty spill when Frank Duckett, Australia and Oliver Goodfellow came together on the top bend, Duckett being rather heavily thrown against the safety fence. The Australian appeared to have been badly hurt, but after removal to the emergency tent he came round satisfactorily.
Alan Campbell had a comfortable win in the final. He made good use of his handicap and piled up so big a lead that neither Holder nor Wise was able to get on terms.
