EMS later arrived at the scene and brought the victim to Queens General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Release: Jun 20, 2011 - Author: Jim - Translator: Jim - external link: IMDB - more from this series
"Digimon Savers", or better known as "Digimon Data Squad" in the USA, is the fifth series of the popular franchise revolving around the monsters of the virtual world and their partners.
As all seasons before, the fifth series too had been edited a bit. As usual the opening and ending were made anew. Unlike previous openings this one wasn't replaced with a monotonous rap song, but with a normal, new song. The titlescreen for the episode was also changed, just like the preview for the next episode. Those are typical changes for the US version.
The translation itself is good, but Agumon refers to Masaru (or Marcus in the US version, yet I stick to the Japanese names) as "boss", while he calls him "Aniki" (brother) in the Japanese version. Most likely this was changed because it could be seen as an analogy to the Yakuza, which have a family-like hierarchy.
The order for comparisons is:
Left: Japanese version
Right: US Version
This report is about:
Episode 01
US title: There are monsters among us
Japanese title: 俺が大だ!コカトリモン襲来
About this episode: There is just one "real" cut and that's Agumon's kick into Masarus crotch. The sound is running normally during this scene though.
A little "funny" note: at the beginning of the episode you see a park with some knocked out guys lying on the ground. A character refers to those later in the episode. While it's 13 (..."juusan...") people in the Japanese version, the US version made it 15.
The time difference in this episode is 2 seconds.
Instead of the normal titlescreen for the episode, which shows a digivolved Agumon that spits fire and after a while the title shows up in the flames, the US version got a new titlescreen. You see a CG gate which opens, reveals the title of the episode, the title is read out aloud, then the gate closes again.
The scene where Agumon kicks Masaru in the crotch has been replaced with a big star.
No time difference
The japanese doorsign was replaced with a translated one.
No time difference
Soundedit: as Agumon bites Masaru because it's so hungry, you see the tower from the outside and hear Masaru scream in the Japanese version. In the US version however he just says "Back off!".
No time difference

TyreSafe aims to raise awareness of the importance of driving on safe and correctly maintained tyres among road haulage communities and commercial vehicle users. Tyres are of fundamental importance to road safety as they provide the only contact a vehicle has with the road. Basic checks such as making sure tyres are correctly inflated can make all the difference, as the pressurised air inside an HGV tyre has to support the weight of the vehicle and its load.

Currently, water stress affects more than 2 billion people around the world, a figure that is projected to rise. Ensuring availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all are essential to human health and to environmental sustainability and economic prosperity. Holistic management of the water cycle means taking into account the level of "water stress", calculated as the ratio of total fresh water withdrawn by all major sectors to the total renewable fresh water resources in a particular country or region. Already, water stress affects countries on every continent and hinders the sustainability of natural resources, as well as economic and social development. Integrated water resources management aims to address this urgent situation.

Indeed, Danone is committed to protecting water, a vital and increasingly scarce resource, by working with partners to strengthen the water cycle at the local level and adopting sustainable practices across our value chain. Sustainable water use is a major focus for Danone, whether it involves the direct use of this resource in its products and production processes or its use in the supply chain. Danone therefore conducted a risk assessment to prioritize and implement the necessary measures at the local level.
Danone identified four priority areas for water stewardship:
Moreover, Danone strikes to keep a leadership role on the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) Water. In 2017, Danone has joined for the first time the CDP Water A List.
Danone's goal is to protect watersheds and their natural ecosystems to ensure the sustainability of water resources where we operate, especially in water-stressed areas. We will keep protecting water-related ecosystems, such as wetlands, with targeted investment and by working locally with stakeholders to implement activities tailored to the local context.
To assess our management of groundwater resources, we use the "Sustainable Protection and Resource Managing" method (or SPRING method) developed with our partners. By the end of 2017, we have conducted SPRING audits in 100% of the Waters Division's mineral waters sites.
At Danone, we work with farmers, agricultural communities and our key suppliers to develop and promote sustainable agriculture practices that maximise water efficiency and preserve its quality, especially within our water funds where agriculture is one of the main activities. When it comes to water use in agriculture which is part of our extended supply chain, we adress it through our regenerative agriculture approach where we work with our farmers partners to develop sustainable farming models that are competitive, inclusive and resilient.
Our immediate priority wherever we use water is to improve the efficiency of water use and reduce the impact of industrial processes on its quality. Our goal is to manage water quality and quantity risks at the watershed level and return all wastewater to natural ecosystems clean.
Starting in 2017, Danone integrated within its internal environmental audit, called "green audits" the Water Risk Filter, a method developed by the The World Wide Fund (WWF) for Nature, international non-governmental organization, to evaluate and better anticipate the risks linked to our use of water and put in place the proper action plan answering to local context issues. Water Risk Filters will be conducted in 100% of Danone factories.
Furthermore, Danone has committed to reduce its water usage in operations by 60% by 2020 in intensity.
Danone aims to have all our employees around the world have access to safe drinking water in their workplace. It is an essential condition for employees' health and well-being and to operate in the best condition in our factories and offices.
Danone supports social-entrepreneurs through Danone Communties fund to provide access to safe drinking water to their communities with a reach of more than 700,000 beneficiaries worldwide in 2017.

In Sy Syms Social Media Marketing Course, Students Become the Experts
They're brainstorming viral campaigns, submitting budget proposals, developing websites, pitching to media and conferencing with clients—and that's just during this week's class sessions.
They're students in the new Social Media Marketing course at Yeshiva University's Sy Syms School of Business, and if their workload sounds more like a typical day at a marketing agency than a college lecture, it's no accident. There are no textbooks and few required readings for this course. Instead, the class operates on one simple principle: learn by doing.
"Social media has become a phenomenon in our culture, something that can't be ignored by any kind of business or anyone who's trying to communicate anything online," said Assistant Professor of Marketing Steven Chan, who designed and is leading the course. "There's no foundation to teaching this kind of thing because it's a new medium that's just come about in the last few years. To me it would be boring and beside the point to teach it in a textbook way."
As Chan considered different models for the course, a call from Jonathan Struhl '09SB, an alumnus who ran a hugely successful social media campaign at his first job out of college and went on to create his own agency, gave him an idea.
"One of the challenges undergraduates face these days is how to take the degree they earned and get a job right off the bat with those skills," said Chan. "Great work experience is what's going to set you apart when you enter the workforce. We thought, instead of studying case scenarios, why not make an agency out of the class and build teachings around it? It's a completely unique idea—hopefully, this course will give students hands-on experience that's not only going to teach them social media in a totally new way, but will help them find a job and be good at it when they graduate."
"I think it's a cool concept that will help everyone involved—the students as well as the clients," said Struhl. "Social media is that one thing right now that the younger generation can do that the C-level executives aren't familiar with, but know they need to participate in. I know how to onboard a client, pitch a client and execute a campaign, and we're figuring out how to run the students through that process to give them an edge. They have the opportunity to really move the needle on projects for clients, which I find exciting."
So Chan turned an ordinary classroom into a campaign headquarters. In small teams, students develop strategies to help real companies and organizations see real differences in their marketing and brand awareness. Their client list is diverse, ranging from Pint Pal, a startup that makes cozies for ice cream lovers who like to eat straight from the pint, to the Young Israel movement, to an organization fundraising for Ebola research.
The class is also collaborating together on a larger project: the Credit Karma Campus Challenge. Sponsored by Credit Karma and hosted by EdVenture Partners, the competition calls for students to create an integrated marketing campaign aimed at educating the target market—college students and young professionals—on the value of understanding and managing credit through the Credit Karma site and its resources, and driving them to become members. The class is given a $1,500 budget to implement their plan. If the Sy Syms students win, they'll fly to San Francisco, California, and pitch their idea to top executives at the company.
"It's a win-win: the company is gaining brand awareness in college audiences, and students experience a real work atmosphere and are able to say, 'I worked with this client and implemented a successful campaign,' " said Chan.
So far, their strategy is as expansive as it is unexpected, including everything from a feel-good viral campaign that dares social media users to pass along acts of kindness ("Good karma, good credit") to a social media scavenger hunt around campus. The class also set up a whimsical, Peanuts-style advice booth in Washington Square Park this week where passersby can seek personal financial help and learn more about Credit Karma.
"As a team, our approach at Syms is to make learning about credit and personal finance fun and engaging for college students and young professionals," said Chan. "One of the reasons this group isn't well-educated about personal finance is that it can seem boring and abstract. Our marketing campaign highlights topics like how to get your first credit card, why credit matters for students, and so on, incorporating the Credit Karma resources—a free credit score and online lessons to manage your personal finance—in a fresh, fun way."
All that field work on campaigns is contextualized by guest lecturers like Struhl, who share their own experiences in the evolving world of social media and marketing, and insights into consumer behavior and social psychology drawn from Chan's background in management consulting and academia.
Jason Wasser, a senior majoring in marketing with a minor in business, feels the skills he has learned in this course will play a pivotal role in his job search when he graduates in January. "Something that I have learned so far has been the importance of knowing your target market and their interests," he said. "By providing me with the unique opportunity to work with two real companies, Credit Karma and Pint Pal, this course has better prepared me to interact with clients and fulfill their needs in the future."
"We actually have a budget from Credit Karma and we have to base our decisions on the amount of money we have to work with," said Daniel Livi, a senior majoring in marketing. "For me, it feels like I'm actually working for a marketing firm that is running a social media campaign for a client. We live in a time where a strong social media presence is one of the most important aspects of a company. I believe this experience will help me in the future no matter what field I enter."
"This course has been a welcome breath of fresh air," said Daniel Redlich, a senior majoring in business marketing. "It's all very hands on. I'm in charge of web development and on the tech team, which runs the campaign's social media as well as building and managing our website. We have deadlines from our clients that we have to keep, so handing in your work on time has a different feel—it's a lot more responsibility, but there's a lot more opportunity to step up to the plate."
"It's really a lot of fun," he added. "It's not what you would expect from a business course, but that's how it should be."

In the meantime, I have been coming to Karpathos for 14 years and I still discover new spots every year. So last week I went to the beach Kato Lako with Vincent for the first time. Upon arrival, we immediately thought the same: this is the most beautiful beach we have seen so far …!
Until a few years ago I had never heard of Kato Lako beach. Probably passed by vaguely, but I never thought about it. As 2nd excuse we always have a normal car and who goes to Kato Lako needs a 4×4 (or quad) in addition to a bit of gut. So we went to the capital last Friday to get a quad at Motocarpathos. We also rented a quad here last year and everything is always well organized. In high season you pay a lot more for a quad. We paid with full insurance 48 euros. That is for one day. While in may it was 20 euros cheaper! But we do not complain, we wanted a quad, and it is nice to drive a quad for ones instead of a car.
After a lovely breakfast in the harbor at En Plo we drove to Kato Lako. We had to search because we did not know exactly where it was, but it is easy to find. You are actually driving to Kyra Panagia. Only just before entering Kyra Panagia there is a sign 'Lux View Villas' (and vague Kato Lako is written on the asphalt). Here you go to the right. You then drive in front of the villas, a little straight and then to the left. The road follows itself here. At a certain moment there is a sign with the text 'Only 4×4 – walking 20 minutes' and from that point on I got it a bit stuffy haha! The first piece is pretty tough, especially if you're not used to it. It is very steep and loose stones all over the place. In the end, it was not so bad, but I have to say the way back was a bit spicier. Up is more difficult and you really have to gas properly if you want to come up and then you have to be careful that you remain stable. Although the road was just swallowing, Kato Lako is more than worth it.
11/05 Update | Due to the heavy rain a month ago, the away is quite entertaining. You now have a 4×4 to Kato Lako, walking only.
Kato Lako is – because of the road to it – very quiet. There are kinda 5 beaches on Kato Lako and per beach, there were only 2 or 4 people! I could say it all the time, it's beautiful! See you for yourself:
I think you´ll like this too

We all know what it takes to successfully complete and push through any given workout whether it's a walk or run, group fitness class or circuit training at the health club – strength, stamina and energy to power through, regardless of your fitness level.
Fueling your body with the proper nutrition and energy it needs will give you the best and healthiest workout possible. Regardless of your diet preference or lifestyle, what you choose to eat and drink before and after your workouts will make all the difference if you commit yourself.
As a follower of the Paleo lifestyle, you may be wondering what foods and drinks are best, which should be avoided and when you should be fueling up pre and post workout. Let's dig in!
Pre Workout
Your body needs quality carbohydrates, lean protein, heart-healthy fats and lots of fluids to offer the energy and endurance it needs to exercise well. Focus on foods that are low in fiber and that your body already tolerates well.
Drink plenty of water before your workout to avoid dehydration. Choose to eat lean protein and healthy fats to help with energy, muscle growth and repair. Options include eating 4 ounces of grilled chicken with steamed vegetables or a spinach salad with avocado and walnuts, for example.
For something quicker for those on the go, opt for sliced turkey breast, olives, a few hard-boiled eggs and one piece of fruit, or a nutrient-rich smoothie with fruits and vegetables. Sugars from the fruits will help with energy and antioxidants for cell regeneration. Need something even easier? Go with a handful of mixed, raw nuts and one apple.
Post Workout
After a great workout sweat session, your body has already automatically used up all of the nutrients stored in your body including the ones consumed right before your workout. Now is the time to add new and healthy nutrients to repair and recover.
Try eating within 30 minutes after completing your workout to reload your body with much-needed protein, glycogen and carbohydrates. Avoid consuming fats after a workout, as it tends to slow down digestion. Avoid high sugar foods like all fruits. Instead, choose to eat lean protein like chicken, canned tuna or hard-boiled eggs, and starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes or butternut squash to help with rejuvenating muscle growth and energy.
Rehydrate your body by drinking plenty of water. Coconut water is also a great option to help with digestion, hydration and refuel your body with electrolytes. If you're short on time, go with a healthy and easy protein shake with your protein powder of choice, starchy vegetables, water (or coconut water) and ice.
Other Helpful Tips and Resources
- Drinking plenty of fluids is essential – water acts as your body's cooling system so staying hydrated is key. You can do this by drinking plenty of fluids with your meals and drinking 16 ounces of water about two hours before exercising. Continue to drink water throughout your workouts. After your workout, that's right you guessed it … keep on drinking water to rehydrate!
- Sports drinks may be a good option if you are exercising for more than 60 minutes in a hot and humid condition, or if you sweat a lot during high-intensity workouts. The carbohydrates and sodium in these types of drinks help to quickly refuel what has been depleted.
- For all those early morning fitness folks, it's OK to exercise on an empty stomach as long as it is a low-intensity workout like a quick walk or light jog. Just be sure to hydrate. If you're going all out with a high-intensity workout however, grab something quick to help offer the fuel your body needs.

SHARJAH – Pakistan has included Umar Gul in one-day international squad after the defeat in 2nd ODI against Sri Lanka, PakistanTribe.com reported.
Experts Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed the induction while Cricket experts said that the induction will be a good moev to bring back green shirts on victory track.
In last two ODIs against Sri Lanka Pakistani bowling fail to restrict Sri Lankan batesmen.
29 years old right-arm fast bowler Umar Gul is considered as economical and sensible bowler.
Pakistani pacer also proved himself as a handy and trustable batsman for the last positions.
Umar Gul, the Pakistan fast bowler, will return to international cricket following a nine-month injury layoff.
"The national selection committee in consultation with the tour selection committee has decided to send Umar Gul to UAE as part of national ODI squad," the PCB said. "He will join the Pakistan team on December 22 (today)."
The decision to pick Gul was made after Pakistan lost the second ODI in Dubai by six wickets despite posting 284, due to sloppy bowling in the death overs. Following the defeat, which left the series 1-1, Pakistan's captain Misbah-ul-Haq immediately expressed concern about the lack of experience among his bowlers.

Supporting MN Veterans, Every Day of the Year
ST. PAUL, Minn. - Many veterans returning from Afghanistan and Iraq are finding the move back into civilian life can
present barriers, but there is help and it's year-round, not just on Veterans Day.
According to Barb O'Reilly, director of women veterans and employment programs at the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs, one hurdle is finding a job, so they're working to connect former soldiers with employers across the state.
She said that's "because they really bring some skills and leadership potential to their companies that you just cannot learn in a classroom."
Nationally, the unemployment rate for the youngest vets, between ages 18 and 24, has been dropping, but is still at about 20 percent.
O'Reilly said one pilot program that's just getting ramped up in Minnesota aims to help ease the transition from military service to employment in several key fields of work.
"We received a grant in Minnesota to streamline the transition from military law enforcement and military medic into civilian careers in law enforcement, EMTs and paramedics, and also licensed practical nurses," she said.
There are about 380,000 veterans who currently call Minnesota home.

I love people
I want to give you an open challenge.
Completely read, understand and implement the things in this post, and you will find REAL HAPPINESS.
I am not talking about some theoretical thing. It is not a copy paste material.
I have personally experienced this. This is the most valuable thing I learned during my lifetime.
Yet, 90% of people are going to bounce back considering it impractical.
It is not impractical. However, It is very difficult and only 1% percent of the remaining 10% are going to implement it.
I know all this because I have gone through this.
I came across stress and anxiety in life. I experienced religion and spirituality. I know compassion, pain, anger, resentment, self-pity, guilt, frustration and revenge. I also know about seven deadly sins. I spent a whole life being bullied, depressed and anxious. Then, I had days of self-discovery, personal development, courage, freedom, joy, love, and happiness.
Read these productivity hacks for improved job performance.
What are the secrets of happiness?
Love and Forgiveness.
These are the two biggest secrets for the ultimate goal of human life i.e. happiness.
You may think differently that success or money is most important. We may argue about that but believe me, all we do is just for happiness.
We may define it differently in terms of success, money, power or comfort. But in the end, we just want happiness. We eat the best food and feel happy. We feel excited about new clothes and luxuries. All these things give us happiness.
But, why it comes and goes?
Happiness coming from these things and activities doesn't last.
It suddenly vanishes.
It does not fulfill us.
It feels like it was never there.
It clearly means that happiness is not the name of money, comfort, luxury life, partying or any other external activities. It is a state of mind. It comes from inside.
I am not going to ask you to do some yoga practices for x number of days. We are lazy souls so my solution is very simple.
Don't do much. Give me only three days of your valuable life.
I want you to accept this challenge just for THREE days.
Before continuing, remember one thing.
Happiness and Sadness are like twin sisters. They go hand to hand. No one alone cannot stand long.
Let's take a look at our challenge
Three days for Unconditional forgiveness and love
Here the more focused word is not love or forgiveness. It is UNCONDITIONAL.
So, first, we talk about unconditional. There are these three conditions
- Unconditional means, you are not going to expect anything in return. It also includes the expectation that other person will also love or forgive you.
Ifhe doesn't, you will not say any bad about him, not even in your heart and mind. Youwill not forgive or ask forgiveness because the other person is worthy for you and you may need him anytime in the future.
Forgive people and ask forgiveness
So, for the next three days, you have to unconditionally forgive people and ask for forgiveness. Follow these steps
- List people with whom you are angry or the otherwise.
- Don't filter out any entry. I recommend starting with the person you are most angered and upset at.
- Make a phone call. Better set a meeting.
- Confidently say these word "Whatever happened is past. I just want to apologize. Forgive me. Hope, you will also forgive me". If it is you who were angry, forgive him in the same way. Of course, you can twist these words according to your relation but apology and forgiveness should be confident, loud and clear.
- Do this with all listed people. Here I know you are again in doubt if you need to read further of close this page. I told you earlier this is going to happen.
Unconditional Love Is "Accepting People As They Are"
- There are people around you that you never cared. These may be family, friends, colleagues or other people around who you always took granted. Collaborate with them. If those are family and friends, spend good time with them. If they are colleagues, say them a confident thank you at face. If they are people living in the neighborhood, meet them up just to say a good hello.
- If there is some needy, financially help him.
- The most important one is to accept people with all their positives and flaws. Every person is different and everyone is wonderful in his own way. Humans are humans. They make mistakes. Everyone do many wrongs in life. Accept them while giving them a margin of being human.
Keep in mind, it should all be pure. Be true with yourself. Do not fake it just to prove something. Do it to relieve you from your past.
Why it is so Difficult
It is easy to say but forgiveness is the most difficult thing to do in the world. Revenge and violence is basic human nature like lust and sex. We feel comfort and relaxation with revenge. We are filled with anger and hate.
These are all negativities inside you. You need to push them out. Once you did it, you are a free man. Your soul will be filled with such happiness that you never imagined before. Research shows that revenge makes people hostile, stressed, anxious, hateful and depressed.
Humans live with the height of pride and self-esteem. Once their ego is hurt, they are forced to retaliate. Revenge temporarily feels comforting. It satisfies our ego. But, it becomes part of our subconscious and silently hurts our internal happiness. Resentment is a prison of the mind. Until we let it go, we are the prisoner. We can only relieve ourselves through forgiving.
Similarly, When you understand that relationship does not mean perfection but to manage people's weaknesses, your life becomes easy. There are two ways to run relationships, praise people for their positives or curse them for their weaknesses.
It is up to you what you choose. One way will lead you towards calmness and mental relaxation. The other will tease you at every moment of your interaction with people. But natural human relationship always works this way. Initially, we are attracted by positive. As we go with the relationship, we start to feel uncomfortable and find negatives.
Some hurdles in forgiving
Forgiving is not a weakness. It involves controlling your ego. It is a most powerful thing to do and a weak person cannot do this.
They don't deserve forgiveness. But you deserve a happy life. Your mind wires with other person's thought that always give you a bad feeling. There is no way to get rid of these thoughts except forgiveness.
Forgiveness justifies other's mistakes. In most cases, Yes. But, you know the reality. You are doing this not for anyone else but yourself. You will feel esteemed even when you were rightful in taking revenge. Moreover, forgiveness does not mean forgetting. If the other person has basic manners, he will respect your graceful decision. In the other case, you need to be careful of such a person.
Famous Quotes on forgiving
Below are my favorite quotes about forgiveness. Hope you will also love
- "Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right."
- "People really need help but may attack you If you do help them. Help them anyway."
- "Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future."
- "When you hold resentment toward another, you are bound to that person or condition by an emotional link that is stronger than steel. Forgiveness is the only way to dissolve that link and get free."
- "Forgiveness means it finally becomes unimportant that you hit back."
- "Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive."
Final Words
The pure purpose of this article is to introduce you with a never-ending journey called "self-awareness" or "self-discovery". It is a skill that takes a lifetime to learn but it is really worth it. You will reach a level of self-control and enlightenment.
These three days will give you a taste of ultimate happiness. This may have accomplished many challenges in life. But this is going to be the most amazing yet difficult challenge of your life. The results will be beyond your imagination. I wish you to have a life changing experience after this read.
I am eager to know about your experience. Let me know

We Are Randox | Armagh GAA forward Stefan Campbell
We Are Randox | Armagh GAA forward Stefan Campbell
One of our favourite things about our We Are Randox series of staff interviews is the opportunity we are given to find out about the unique and interesting talents of our colleagues.
From creative bakers to melodious musicians, motivated Girl Guide leaders to athletic sportspeople, many of our staff are just as busy outside of the office as they are in it.
Take Tender Coordinator Stefan Campbell for instance. By day Stefan spends time identifying potential business for the company – conducting local and global searches, collating technical specifications and compiling financial information – but in the evenings and weekends he's impressively one of the forwards for the Armagh Senior Footballers, a Gaelic Football team that competes at an all-Ireland level.
We caught up with Stefan to find out about his intense training regime, his goals for the future of his GAA career, and of course his advice for the newly-formed Randox GAA team!
Here's Stefan's story.
I suppose Gaelic Football has always run through the different generations of my family so it was only natural that I began playing at a young age. My brother John played for our local club Clan Na Gael, so after having played for St. Pauls Lurgan, I then moved to Clan Na Gael where he played. I've now been a member there for 16 years.
Our County Club, Armagh, then won their first All-Ireland Championship in 2002, with a team that included two players from Clan Na Gael, and so I was inspired to try out for my county myself. The rest as they say, is history.
I'm currently in my 7th season with the Armagh Senior Footballers, after having played for the U18 and U21 squads. My position is usually full forward, alongside two other team mates, however I do often rotate amongst the total line-up of 6 forwards.
Obviously being a forward I am expected to score in each game, and to give you an idea of figures I have had two games in the last week in which I scored 8 points against Antrim and 3 points against Monaghan. I therefore have to make sure to refine my skills in terms of scoring, passing, and timing of the tackle, but there is also quite a lot of emphasis on just simply working hard and putting in the effort to train, as it is an incredibly physical game. Typically, a county team trains 4 nights a week with 2 sessions being in the gym and 2 on the field, at the Callanbridge facility in Armagh.
I've played in the opening 3 games of The Dr McKenna Cup (a Gaelic Football competition between counties and universities in Ulster) thus far, and need to make sure I keep up my training so that I remain in the team for the upcoming matches. There is a lot of pressure coming from other very talented squad members, looking for their opportunity to impress, so I have to be on top form.
In the short-term, we have The Dr McKenna Cup Final against Tyrone this Saturday (in which I'm obviously hoping for a win!) and in the longer term I'm really hoping I can win an Armagh Championship with Clan Na Gael. I would also love to secure an Ulster Championship win with Armagh, which is a title I'm still searching for, even though I won the Railway Cup in 2017 playing for Ulster.
The Railway Cup is an annual tournament steeped in history, as it dates back as far as 1927. There is such a large pool of players to choose from when forming an Ulster team, so I know my family was very proud when I was selected, and even more so when we went on to defeat Connaught in the final. I loved the opportunity to play alongside teammates I'm usually competing against.
Another highlight of my GAA career was when I played Gaelic Football in New York, over the course of two summers. Although GAA is an Irish organisation, Gaelic Football is played all over the world in countries such as Dubai, Hong Kong, Australia and the USA, albeit at a lower level than it is played back home. Local players are poached and asked if they would be interested in playing for a particular team in the summer, while they set you up with a job and accommodation. In 2015 I was asked to play for Kerry New York and in 2017 for Westmeath New York, and I found the temptation to spend 3 months abroad, basically free of charge, too good to turn down.
For the record though, GAA is an amateur organisation and therefore as players we don't get paid to do what we do. Don't get me wrong, it has its perks, like the unique opportunity to play live on Sky or on the BBC, but ultimately, we play for the love of the sport, while representing our families and communities. It's this passion that drives me each week to train consistently and improve my skills, even after a day's work at the Randox office. I do often have long days during which I leave work, go straight to training, and arrive home at about 10.45pm, but it's something I'm used to and prepare for accordingly. I will say though that it's extremely difficult to get out of bed on Mondays having played a game the previous day!
As luck will have it, joining Randox means that I now have the opportunity to bring my two careers together, as the company has recently established its own GAA team, which recently competed in the FinTru Ulster Inter-Firms Competition. I don't see any reason, that with a bit of luck, and the experience we now have from last year, why we can't get bigger and better and reach this year's final.
My advice would be to get the squad together as often as our other commitments will allow, to give us more time to polish up our skills, but also, importantly, to become more familiar with our teammates from other departments. I have often found that the most successful teams are not always the most talented, but those with a tighter bond – as they understand their fellow players, can anticipate their game play, and are willing to work that bit harder for one another.

We Are Randox | Match Report from FinTrU Ulster GAA Inter-Firms Junior Men's Competition
On Saturday 17th November 2018, hot on the heels of the Randox GAA Ladies team's glorious competition début, our Men's team took to the field at the Tyrone GAA Centre of Excellence, to compete in the Junior Men's category of the FinTrU Ulster GAA Football Inter-Firms competition.
With our Ladies team having successfully reached the Semi-Finals of the competition the week prior, the pressure was on!
The two Randox Men's teams were pooled in separate groups with strong opposition in both. Randox Team One faced a tough task with FinTru, Citi and South West College, whilst the second Randox Team were pitted against the GAA Store, Premier Electric and Belfast Lawyers.
Our Randox teams battled hard during this group stage and thanks to a creative team effort as well as some fantastic individual performances, they both made it to the knockout stages of the competition and into the quarter finals. Unfortunately though, the effort put in to make it out of the group stages had claimed a few key players to injury, which left the remaining men with a near impossible task ahead of them in the next stage of the competition
Team One was drawn against FinTru and Team Two against Belfast Lawyers. Regrettably, on the day both teams came out on the wrong side of the results in very competitive games against very experienced and seasoned teams.
John James Fallon, Randox Electrical Engineer and GAA Bainisteoir / Coach, commented;
"As newly-formed teams, who prior to the Inter-Firms competition had never played together before, both the men and ladies should be extremely proud. Fielding players who ranged from experienced to novice, and with only 5 weeks training, to have reached the quarter-finals and semi-finals of our respective categories has been exceptional.
"On behalf of the organising committee I would like to say thank you to Randox and Dr FitzGerald for their assistance in getting the team started, and to St James GAC Aldergrove for the use of their facilities and equipment over the course of the training sessions, as without their help this would not have been possible. Finally, a huge thank you has to go to the participants themselves, as without you there is no Randox GAA club. I'm looking forward to our next season together already.
"This is just the beginning."
On behalf of everyone at Randox we would like to wish both our Ladies GAA Team and our two Men's GAA teams a massive congratulations on their impressive performances at the FinTrU Ulster GAA Football Inter-Firms competition.
Their commitment, perseverance and teamwork has been truly inspiring and we are very proud of how they came together to form three very capable and motivated GAA teams. Well done!

We Are Randox | Randox Ladies reach FinTrU Ulster GAA Inter-Firms Semi-Final
On Saturday 10th November 2018, Randox Ladies GAA team took to the field at the Tyrone GAA Centre of Excellence, Garvaghey, to compete in the FinTrU Ulster GAA Football Inter-Firms competition.
Catering for all levels of skills and fitness, the Inter-Firms competition is a tournament open specifically to workplaces across Ulster, in which teams can represent their workplace in Gaelic games.
On the day of the tournament, the Randox Ladies were placed in a group alongside Premier Electric, Options IT and FinTrU, and the first 7-a-side group match saw the ladies up against Premier Electric, who from the start proved to be very tough and experienced opponents.
Team Randox met the challenge head on however, and were leading the game from start to finish until a second goal against the run of play narrowly denied the Randox Ladies the win in the last minute of the game.
For their second match of the tournament, the Randox Ladies showed great character and hunger to bounce back and defeat Options IT 2-6 to no score, in what was an outstanding performance. This victory was not without cost though, as the ladies were forced to battle on in spite of a few injuries.
The final group game against financial services company FinTrU proved to be the toughest match for the Randox Ladies. Having played two games back to back, with numerous injuries gained along the way, the game was always going to be a difficult one, but once again the ladies showed a fantastic attitude, battling hard in all areas.
With their exceptional performance in the group stage, the Randox Ladies found themselves in the semi-final of the cup competition against last year's winners South West College. From the first whistle, the ladies put everything on the line, running themselves into the ground despite injury and fatigue.
SWC picked up a few early points and then scored two goals against the run of play which would have finished off any experienced team, but with minutes remaining Randox admirably battled up the field to score two goals of their own to bring the game to within a score. In the end though the SWC ladies survived to hang on for a narrow win and went head-to-head in the final against eventual tournament winners FinTrU.
Randox Ladies emerged from their GAA début in an impressive third place.
John James Fallon, Randox Electrical Engineer and Bainisteoir / Coach for Randox Ladies GAA Team, commented;
"What the Randox Ladies have done in such a short time is a fantastic achievement. Most have never played Gaelic football before so for them to go out and to be able to keep up with the pace of very experienced players is nothing short of amazing. They should be extremely proud of themselves and with the men's competition this Saturday the bar has been set extremely high indeed. Well done team!"
The 2018 FinTrU Ulster GAA Football Inter-Firms Junior Men's Competition will take place on Saturday 17th November at the Tyrone GAA Centre of Excellence. We wish our Men's team all the best!

Ulster GAA team embark on Randox-sponsored tour of China
Ulster University's GAA team departs on a historic two week tour of China this weekend as part of the university's wider programme of engagement in key international markets, sponsored by Randox.
Following a reception with the Lord Mayor of Belfast earlier in the week, the 25-strong team will leave Belfast on Saturday morning for the two week cultural exchange that aims to develop and enhance links with a number of Chinese academic institutions.
The trip is being sponsored by Randox and facilitated by the university's Confucius Institute.
The team is spending a week in Beijing before heading to Wuhan and Huangshi City to play several games as part of an extensive tour promoting sporting excellence at Ulster University, in particular Gaelic Games.
Professor Ian Montgomery, Pro-Vice Chancellor of Ulster University, said:
"Gaelic games are of increasing interest to the Chinese people and there is a strong appetite to learn about the various sports, and replicate key tactics and the strong cultural identity which Ulster University's GAA team has developed over many decades."
"We'll be playing several GAA teams, including a talented Beijing team, and sharing knowledge with the coaches on how to improve the players' game and training regimes. When we get to Wuhan and Huangshi City, we'll be taking Chinese language classes, learning martial arts and trying our hand at authentic Chinese cooking."
For many of the students, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel across the world to an important global market. As well as promoting sporting excellence and acting as ambassadors for the University and Northern Ireland, they will be instrumental in helping the University and Randox build stronger relationships with new and existing partners.
Dr Peter FitzGerald, founder of Randox, said:
"We are pleased to support Ulster University's Gaelic team as they embark on a very exciting tour of China. It is one of our most important markets, as we have been exporting to China since 1992 and we have had an established presence in the region for several years. This is a brilliant opportunity for our partnership with Ulster University to profile some of the young sporting talents of Northern Ireland and to strengthen key business relationships in an important market."

Max is either clueless, curious, creative, or comedic. Whichever is the case, I love him very much, but I often look around the house and find him in some rather strange situations. I look and laugh, then he notices and reflects the joy I express. I never know what is going on in his head in these moments, but appreciate it all the same.
Here are some of my favorites:
How did you even get in that pawsition?!
I guess it's just a dog-hug-coffee-table kind of world now…
Should he stay or should he go now?
Is he pawndering the art or retrieving some distant memory?
Whatever is going on here, Max certainly chewses his own style and path.
Max, are you comfurtable enough?
Max, are you comfurtable at all?
Max…how is that comfutable?!
I see, I see, you're a yoga mutt…clever.
Now that is a real downward dog…
Whatever is going on, Max certainly does his own thing. Maybe he is all four – curious, clueless, creative, and comedic, or maybe he's just a cool, confusing canine. Regardless, I am sure he has also looked over to me at times and wondered, "What is going on with him?" I know I too have my clueless, curious, creative, and comedic moments too, intentional or not. And I'm grateful that Max still sees the best in me anyway.
So thank you Max for being yourself and bringing some (confusing) joy to my life. You do you and I'll keep wondering.

Alton PD respond to 18 traffic crashes after morning snow
ALTON — A minimal, but unpredicted snow fall Thursday morning slickened city streets, particularly West Ninth, Homer Adams Parkway and brick roadways, causing numerous non-injury crashes.
"From 5:30 to 10 a.m., we responded to 18 traffic crashes and four motorist assists," said Pfc. Emily Hejna, public information officer at the Alton Police Department. "We also had eight calls from people who did not want to wait for an officer. They said they would come in and file a report."
There were no injuries reported in the crashes, she said.
Among the motorist assists was a school bus stuck on hilly West Ninth Street. Several other vehicles also slid into each other near Dry Street.
Someone also hit a utility pole on Alby Street at 16th Street, breaking it in half and downing telephone lines.
At issue was the morning commute timing of the approximate inch of snow, and that weather forecasters had not predicted the accumulation.
"It wasn't even predicted, it only was a half-inch or so," said Bob Barnhart, Alton public works director. He said the snow did not start accumulating until about 6 a.m., with the department's street crew scheduled to begin work at 7 a.m.
He said it did not make sense to call in the workers 20 minutes early, incurring overtime expenses for such a short amount of time. By the time the salt trucks were warmed and loaded, he said the workers were out on the street by 7:30 a.m.
Bulk of the crashes were between 7:30 and 8:15 a.m., police confirmed.
Barnhart said he prioritized and coordinated the response with Chief Jake Simmons of the Alton Police Department and Mayor Brant Walker.
"We started at the bad spots," Barnhart said, such as West Ninth Street, also treating main roadways. The city does not maintain Homer Adams Parkway, though, which is responsibility of Illinois Department of Transportation and Madison County, he said.
Barnhart said the department has 12 snow routes for plowing and treating, but now only has nine trucks.
"They had to double up," he said of covering the routes. "But we have five more plows coming in at the end of the month — three 1-ton, four-wheel drive trucks for smaller streets, alleys and (city-owned) parking lots, and two big ones," including a 2-ton, 2014 Freightliner dump truck with a stainless steel bed and snow plow and street sweeper.
Barnhart last summer had pushed for the new trucks at a City Council meeting, saying the current fleet was insufficient and he wanted to place the orders before bad weather arrived.
He said within hours the snow would be gone, but he planned to monitor forecasts for Thursday evening and Friday to prepare for any weather-related conditions. A 30-percent chance of snow was in the forecast for that night as of Thursday morning.
"I am always watching, monitoring, planning and watching the streets," he said.
Hejna urged motorists to take extra caution in any inclement weather.
"Whether it is a 14-inch accumulation like last week or one to two inches like today, people need to adjust their driving and give themselves extra time so they are not in a rush, and so they can get to their destinations safely," she said.

What if I fail?
What if…?
Yes. We have all had these thoughts. We have all wanted to create (do something) and we have been unable to and we have called that inability laziness, mediocrity, or _____________ (fill in your mean word)

Each of us is a unique, creative individual.
But… We often tend to numb that uniqueness.
Bottom line is we do it because we've become more comfortable being victims of our circumstances or "stuck" than risking having to be consistently productive.

I did so much better this month! I'm really trying to work on turning off Netflix at 10 and climbing into bed and reading for half an hour. Well, I still managed to watch loads of movies this month too. I'm starting to keep a list of these as well, mostly out of curiosity on my part 🙂
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling: This was the first of the series where I was really griped by the plot and I thought it was my favorite, until I started reading Goblet of Fire, that is. Again, this is part of my 30×30 project.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling: Definitely my favorite so far 😉 Check back next month to see if that manages to hold up.
Women Food and God, An unexpected path to almost everything by Geneen Roth: This was something I saw Jess Lively recommend so I added it to my library request list. Roth argues that by challenging our deeply held beliefs about ourselves and our worth, we will be able to 'return to our bodies' and establish a healthy relationship with food and eating. I found her voice very encouraging but I have to admit, some of her recommendations have been hard to implement.
Movies I watched in January: The Fruit Hunters, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Before Midnight, Amelia, The Square, Pet Sematary, I Give it a Year, Holes, Goats, Spaceballs, Drinking Buddies and Ready to Fly.
Now, I know this isn't a book but I have to call out the Before series, directed by Richard Linklater, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, and Before Midnight this month and they really lived up to the hype. If you haven't checked out The Square yet, it's really a must watch documentary about the Egyptian revolution, democracy and social movements.

Women's Sports Week 2016 #WSW16
The Launch of the Red Roses 05/10/2016
How fitting should this happen on a week we remember our female heroes and look to inspire the upcoming athletes.
Women's Rugby is definitely a sport which is seeing huge developments. (Don't blink you'll miss something). We now have women on central RFU contracts, allowing the individuals to focus on their sport and fitness without worrying about a work life too. Red Roses being launched today now gives the English ladies an identity, and something for the younger generation to aspire too.
The Red Roses also see the addition of a ladies cut rugby jersey for the first time around. Previously they would have worn the same shirt as the men do, now they have a tailored shirt to feel comfortable in. This is modern for a lot of teamwear companies, we too have a ladies fit jersey. see our range. Remember any design is possible with sublimation.
Danielle Waterman – England Red Rose Player writes a great article for the BBC talking about the development of teamwear and how excited she is to wear a ladies cut jersey and an English Rose together.

Champions League: Sterling's hat trick steers City and Real Madrid finally wins
Raheem Sterling recorded a hat trick in just 11 minutes as Manchester City beat Atalanta 5-1 on Tuesday in the Champions League.
Elsewhere, it took over 200 minutes but Real Madrid finally took a lead this Champions League campaign after Toni Kroos' goal in the 17th minute, which stood up as the Spanish giants beat Galatasaray 1-0 on Tuesday.
Kylian Mbappe came off the bench for Paris Saint-Germain and also recorded the first Champions League hat trick of his career, while Tottenham Hotspur won big and Bayern Munich held off Olympiacos.
Raheem Sterling registers hat trick in Man City win
Sterling turned a surprisingly tense affair at the Etihad into a rout with a hat trick in just 11 minutes.
He scored his first goal in the 58th minute, added a second in the 64th and polished it off by getting on the end of a Riyad Mahrez ball in the 69th minute (via Bleacher Report):
Sterling scores his first Champions League hat-trick in 11 minutes 🏆 pic.twitter.com/Vh0SrhZXc4
— Bleacher Report Live (@brlive) October 22, 2019
Sergio Aguero scored the first two goals in the span of five minutes after Atalanta took a shock early lead on Ruslan Malinovskiy's penalty just inside the half-hour mark.
This is the first Champions League hat trick of Sterling's career, and Man City remains in cruise control in Group C, with a full nine points from three matches thus far.
Welcome to the win column, Real Madrid
After being routed by PSG and rallying to draw Club Brugge, Real Madrid had yet to actually lead in the Champions League this season.
Including stoppage time and the first 16 minutes of the Galatasaray match, it took Real Madrid over 200 minutes to go ahead. But go ahead they did after Eden Hazard cleverly stabbed a ball back into open space that Toni Kroos blasted home:

Real Madrid fired 11 other shots on net and picked up a sorely needed three points. For as much as they've stumbled out of the gate in Europe, Zinedine Zidane's men sit second in Group A with four points, well behind PSG's nine but in decent position to advance nonetheless.
Spurs put sting of Bayern beatdown behind them
Last we saw Tottenham in the Champions League, they were getting annihilated at home by Bayern Munich. This time, Spurs did the annihilating in a 5-0 rout of Red Star Belgrade.
Harry Kane headed home Spurs' first goal inside of 10 minutes:

Kane ended up with two goals, as did Son Heung-Min, who scored his first with a half-volley right in front of goal that was trickier than it looked:
What a hit, Son 🚀 pic.twitter.com/xb99cc7tqN
— Bleacher Report Live (@brlive) October 22, 2019
Erik Lamela also scored with a terrific spin and finish and Spurs seized second place in Group B on four points, five behind Bayern Munich.
Corentin Tolisso's rocket proves to be winner
Corentin Tolisso's 75th-minute goal went from insurance to needed for Bayern Munich, which won 3-2 in Athens.
Tolisso put the German giants up 3-1 with 15 minutes or so to play, but Olympiacos pulled one back through Guilherme in the 79th minute.
Still, Tolisso's strike was something to behold:

Title: Chasing Cassidy
Author: D. Kelly
Release Date: July 28, 2015
When Zachary Stafford first set eyes on Cassidy Pope she was being beaten by her father. After witnessing the traumatic event, he made it his mission to befriend her. As the years pass, their relationship evolves and Cassidy not only gives Zack her friendship but her love, as well.
Cassidy spent her childhood being verbally and physically abused. The best part of her life is her friendship with the Stafford twins, Zack and Rylee. Although she tries to put on a brave front, the years of abuse have turned Cassidy into a woman filled with insecurities who doesn't believe she deserves love. Especially not the kind of love Zack has given her for the last twelve years.
On their wedding day, Cassidy's insecurities get the best of her and she does the one thing she knows how to do well…she runs. Zack is devastated and when he discovers why Cassidy ran, his devastation becomes fury. Long ago, Zack made Cassidy a promise he fully intends to keep and sets off on a journey to bring her back into his arms where she belongs.
Will Zack and Cassidy get their happily ever after, or will Cassidy's inner demons keep her from getting the only thing she ever wanted in this world? To be loved.

Releasing my hands, he pulls my dress over my head and runs his hands across my black bra and gives my breasts a quick squeeze. When he reaches my panties, he slides his hand inside and cups my pussy, sliding one, then a second finger inside of me. My eyes close momentarily while I absorb the exquisite feeling of him inside me. It's been too long.

Chess 960 possible problem
Nice Xmas present for you Thibault- a possible server problem :P
Not sure if I am doing something wrong or it is the server.
When I download a Chess 960 game and attempt to start engine analysis through fritz interface, I have only just realised that the downloaded game does not recognise 'Chess 960' or even the traditional version castling.
Only when I set the position up and select the four castling options will the game start analysing castling options.
Mladen Jankovic (2007-12-25 21:37:22)
FEN used in encoding the starting position does not include castling information. You can add manually "KQkq" in the FEN line at the end, in the PGN file.
Fritz uses a non-standard encoding of the castling rights for Chess 960, with starting positions of Rooks not on A and H files.
Fritz should recognize castling rights, but the information is not included in the file. This is most likely an accidental omission, or it might have been done to avoid messing with X-FEN and the non-standard Fritz solution.
At this rate I'm becoming a helpdesk. :?

Hi Garvin and Mladen.
You mean the FICGS PGN files for chess 960 are incomplete ? If this is the case, I'll correct it soon.. Thanks !

Hello Thibault,
Have just noticed recently that the 'bug' of the server not recognising castling rights in 960 games still exists.

Meet the most versatile piece of gear you can own.
What's the most versatile piece of gear in your closet? For me, the thing that I always stash along for an adventure (ride, run, climb, ski tour, hike) is an ultralight shell. Lightweight nylon shells are hardly new—but the development of tightly woven, featherweight fabric that are deceptively tough and very weather-resistant has fueled a new surge of windshells on outdoor store racks.
These shells range from windshirts with partial zips and no hoods to full-featured jackets with hoods pockets and draw cords. They can't replace a true waterproof/breathable shell, but these new windshells prove effective in all but the worst downpours, especially when on the move and body heat drives out sweat and dries wet fabric.
I became reacquainted with windshells while on a expedition to Denali where I wore an old pocketless and zipperless Lowe Alpine Dragonfly. Since then they've steadily gained an ever more prominent place in my outdoor wardrobe with each passing year. Most recently the full-zip Patagonia Houdini ($125; patagonia.com) has been my go-to piece. On sunny but cool or windy days, I'll layer it over a single light base layer, and then additional mid-layers if I need them. On breaks, topping out on a peak or when I ski/bike downhill, I put a down or synthetic insulation piece right over the windshirt to keep warm. When the skies open up with snow or heavy rain, I pull out the true waterproof shell, which I often layer right over the windshell. It's like a second skin.
Beyond the Houdini, here are a few other models I've recently been able to try out and that are definitely worth a look:
Arc'teryx Squamish:
The sturdy fabric and anorak design create a shell that can handle fairly serious weather all on its own. This year-round piece is a great winter option that can often replace a waterproof shell for ski touring and downhill skiing.
$149; arcteryx.com
CAMP magic Anorak/Jacket:
An amazingly light and weatherproof shell, this baby tucks into it own pocket for stowage. You can even clip it into your gear rack for long alpine climbs. Beware the Euro sizing though—this shell runs seriously on the small size. Available in both hoody and hoodless versions.
$80/$100; camp-usa.com
Marmot Trail Wind Hoody/Jacket:
Marmot's new ultralight windshell includes features well suited to running. (Hey, it's reflective) It's perfect for the budget-minded looking for a high performance piece, with its competitive price. $70/65; marmot.com
Mountain Hardwear Geist:
Also new, the Geist sits in the middle of the pack price-wise and delivers a slew of high performance features, including reflectivity, water resistance, smpockets designed with earpiece egress points, and stretchy fabrics for mobility.
$110; mountainhardwear.com
