Your privacy and our use of cookies
We use cookies to make some areas of the site work. If you're ok with that, just continue. If you want to find out more, or are seeing this message repeatedly, click here.
About Cookies on this Honest digital platform
New EU legislation requires us to let you know how we're using cookies.Beverage Services Limited (trading as Honest Great Britain) ("Honest") has created this page to explain our use of cookies.
We think it's important to protect your privacy and be open about how we use your data. This information is to keep you informed and to help you enjoy our websites and apps.
So what are cookies?
A cookie is simply a tiny text file containing pieces of data, stored when you visit a website or app. It's designed to help websites and apps remember what you did in the past. This can include whether you clicked on particular links or pages, logged into your profile, or read pages on the site months, or even years, ago.
There are different types of cookies and without these, websites, apps and other digital services couldn't function in the way you've got used to.
For example, without the cookie to validate your log in, the website wouldn't know to display your profile. Or the website would need to deliver a message every time saying 'sorry, you need to log in' as it wouldn't remember who you are.
Honest websites and apps use particular cookies to give you the best possible experience, and use only cookies that we think are necessary and helpful.
To fit the new regulations, we've detailed the cookies we use so you can decide if you're happy, or if you would rather delete existing cookies, or even disable the use of cookies on our websites and apps altogether.
What type of cookies do Honest websites and apps use?
Strictly Necessary Cookies
These are essential cookies that let you move around the website or app and use its features, like accessing secure areas. Without them, services registration and logging in cannot be provided. These cookies don't collect any information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.
Performance Cookies
These collect information about how you use a website or app, for instance, which pages you
go to most often, and if you get error messages. They don't collect information that identifies you; all the information is anonymous. It is used only to improve how the website or app works.
Functionality Cookies
These remember choices you make (such as your user name, language or the region you are in)
and provide personal features. They can remember changes you have made to text size, fonts and other parts of web pages that you can customise. They may also provide services you've asked for, such as watching a video or commenting on a blog. The information they collect can be made anonymous. They can't track other websites or apps you visit.
Targeting Cookies
These deliver adverts or messages relevant to you and your interests. Sometimes targeting
cookies are linked to other sites, such as Facebook.
Within these four categorisations of cookie, cookies are sorted as either temporary ('Session'
cookies) or more long-term ('Persistent' cookies).
'Session' cookies link your actions in one session only. This 'session' starts when the webpage or
app is opened and finishes when it is closed. Then the cookie is deleted forever.
'Persistent' cookies are where the cookie remains on your phone or computer for a specific
period of time. They are activated automatically when you visit a particular website or app.
One other difference is if the cookie is a 'first-party cookie' or a 'third-party' cookie. A first-party
cookie is set by the Honest website or app you're visiting, whereas a 'third-party' cookie is
set by someone else. Honest will only ever allow third-party cookies that are approved by
the brand.

What is an ESCO? An ESCO is an energy services company which analyses, designs, develops and installs energy-saving projects. It is also responsible for the co-generation and use of renewable energy and the provision and installation of energy-efficient equipment and energy sources.
An ESCO determines opportunities for potential savings through a preliminary analysis of the customer's facilities. Under contract, it agrees to attain good results and once these are achieved the savings are shared and the investment is recovered. It assumes the financial risks and the technical work involved with a mutual commitment to fund them with the savings obtained.
All ESCOs are registered with the National Energy Administration (Dirección Nacional de Energía DNE), which classifies them in category A or B on an annual basis. To qualify under category A an ESCO must meet the following requirements: Attend at least 70% of the courses recognized by the Energy Efficiency Project on a yearly basis; implement at least 50% of the projects submitted to the feasibility studies contingent; finalize at least three energy efficiency projects within the framework of the Energy Efficiency Trust (Fideicomiso de Eficiencia Energética FEE) and, finally, achieve favorable assessment when audited by an expert representative of the FEE .
SEG Ingeniería has qualified as a category A ESCO since this rating was implemented by the DNE and was named "ESCO OF THE YEAR" in 2009, winning the National Energy Efficiency Award granted by the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mining.

A man sits hunched over his keyboard. It's some ungodly hour of the morning, and he sits, staring at his computer screen. He subsists on a steady diet of soda and coffee, and appears not to have seen the sun in weeks. He has no social life, though this is largely of his own design. He doesn't have time for people, because he has a game to finish. The strings of code that dominate his computer monitor might as well be gibberish to most, but to the figure slumped in his office chair, it's the foundation of a video game, one that he is furiously trying to finish in order to complete it by an important marketing deadline.
This is an image that's probably all too familiar for those of us who count ourselves as enthusiasts of the video game industry. We at least have some idea of what it takes to make a game, independent or otherwise. But to those who are only tangentially familiar with what goes into these trifling digital entertainments of ours, it's a striking image. The idea of suffering for one's art is hardly anything new, but to those who don't necessarily consider video games to be art, it's an unfamiliar experience to see someone putting so much of their heart and soul into games where sentient meat sacks dodge giant saw blades and fight evil cybernetic babies with top hats and monocles.
This is what makes Indie Game: The Movie, the recently-toured documentary from Canadian filmmakers Lisanne Pijot and James Swirsky, so great and, frankly, important. There aren't very many documentaries about video games in general, a point that James and Lisanne echoed both during a Q&A at a New York City screening I attended, and in a Skype conversation I had with them yesterday. More to the point, there are even fewer documentaries about video games that are able to put the experience of game development in relatable terms to those who don't necessarily have more than a passing interest in gaming. Indie Game: The Movie does exactly that. It shows the pains and struggles of people trying to create something they're passionate about creating. It doesn't matter if they're making a video game or a film or an erotic cake. What they're making means something to these people, and by proxy of the talented filmmakers, what they're making means something to us, too.
Those of you who spend a lot of time perusing video game sites probably already have an idea of the stories contained within Indie Game: The Movie, but for those who aren't aware, a brief refresher. The film follows the development and post-development experiences of three different game makers: Fez creator Phil Fish, Team Meat members Edmund McMillen and Tommy Refenes, and enigmatic Braid designer Jonathan Blow. The three stories are varied in scope and stress--Blow, for instance, has no new game to talk about, while the others are each rushing to meet differing deadlines--but they all offer individual takes on what it takes to create an extension of one's self via video games.
Fish's story is the one that's dominated much of the media coverage, and with good reason. Fish comes off as a live wire pretty much from the moment he appears on screen. He is brutally self-effacing and incredibly anxious during this period, which was filmed about 18 months before Fez was finally released. He talks a great deal about his inspirations for the game, as well as the pressures he's found himself under after splitting with his former business partner (who is represented by a photo obscured by pixels through the entire film) and subsequent attempts to get him to sign off on an official split agreement that would allow him to show the game at PAX East.
Team Meat, on the other hand, are within sight of finishing Super Meat Boy when the film opens. We learn early on of the friendship that binds Edmund and Tommy together. Despite their bi-coastal working relationship--Edmund resides in Santa Cruz, California, while Tommy lives near his family in North Carolina--the two communicate daily, laboring dozens and dozens of hours each week to try and push Meat Boy into the stage of completion so that it can go up as part of an Xbox Live promotion in the fall of 2010. The promotion means additional marketing help that self-starters like themselves desperately need, but the game still has a lot of work to go.
Blow's role in the film is more instructional and introspective. He speaks of the development process of Braid, talking in plainspoken terms about what it meant to him to build a game he viewed as an extension of his own personality and ideas, which aren't necessarily spelled out for the player. He expresses his frustration with the fact that many players simply didn't understand the greater meanings he'd infused the game with, even acknowledging his slightly obsessive tendency to reply to nearly any commentary on the Internet that he believes misunderstands his vision.
Each of these stories contains enough intriguing information and personal drama to easily fill a 90-minute runtime, but it's the emotional elements of each story that make Indie Game: The Movie more than just a documentary about video games. Around the halfway point of the doc, Blow more or less drops out of the equation, and the directors hyper-focus on Meat Boy and Fez's big crunches. During these periods, we see these guys at their most threadbare. Edmund spends so many hours working on the game that he barely sees his wife, who often is literally sitting ten feet behind him. Tommy's only outside contact comes in brief family visits and occasional late night jaunts to a deserted local diner. Phil is an outright mess, tearing his hair out over his former business partner's either inability, or unwillingness to sign the contract that will let him show the game at PAX. In one particularly harrowing interview, Phil sits in his hotel lobby, speaking in hurried bursts of panic and rage at the prospect of coming all this way, only to be derailed by the lack of a single signature. As someone who has suffered from his own anxiety issues, I can see in this scene the makings of a full-blown panic attack occurring right in front of me. It's an uncomfortably familiar thing to watch.
Make no mistake: Indie Game: The Movie can be a very dark story. Phil at one point even confesses that he'd likely kill himself if Fez never made it to market (thankfully, it eventually did.) Whether that's viewed as pure hyperbole or a realistic threat probably depends on how well you know Phil, but from the outside, watching it on film, it felt painfully serious.
That darkness is something some game makers have taken umbrage with in regards to the film. Papo & Yo creator Vander Caballeroexpressed some concern over the dour tone of the film to Penny Arcade writer Ben Kuchera, saying, "'Oh, if my game doesn't work out I am over! I will kill myself!' No, make another game! Create! This is fun!" Similarly, veteran designer Derek Smart took to Twitter today to tell prospective watchers of the film to "note that not all of us devs are clueless pricks who complain all the time," while also championing Blow's commentary in the film.
While I see both Caballero and Smart's points, I don't necessarily agree that the film's portrayal of its subjects is that of chronic complainers who hate what they do. Yes, Phil and Tommy's expressions of frustration can come off like the rantings of extremely angry people, but they're angry because of situations that impede their progress on creating something they love. If anything, Indie Game: The Movie shows that developing a game is really fucking hard, and not the sort of thing that anyone can just do. That's an important perspective to show, given the current lack of knowledge much of the mainstream world has about our favorite entertainment medium.
And it's not as if there aren't triumphs to be shown. Though Blow seemingly considers his success with Braid something of a blessing and a curse, there's no question that he has the opportunity to work on his newest project mostly unencumbered by publisher meddling because he established himself with that game. When Phil finally breaks through and gets Fez shown, repeated issues with the preview build don't necessarily dampen the excitement he feels seeing people play and enjoy his labor of love. And as for Tommy and Edmund, there is perhaps no sweeter moment than seeing Edmund's wife, Danielle, break down into tears as she sees her husband's hard work pay off. This is a movie that shows both the agony and the ecstasy of game development. Maybe it leans a tad hard on the agony, but it's not as bad as some people might say.
And, of course, there are those who wonder why more perspectives weren't given. It's generally public knowledge that Pijot and Swirsky also filmed a good deal of footage with thatgamecompany'sJenova Chen, Passage designer Jason Rohrer, and Aquaria creators Alec Holowka and Derek Yu. That footage will appear on the special edition DVD and Blu-ray release, which the filmmakers say are still in production and "just need to be pressed," but didn't make it into the film because, quite frankly, it would have been just too much. In Indie Game: The Movie, Pijot and Swirsky narrow their focus to the three most compelling stories that came out of their 300 hours worth of footage, and it's better for that fact. A documentary has to have a tight, engaging narrative. Otherwise, it runs the risk of just turning into an instructional info dump. It's the same reason why it isn't just called Video Game: The Movie. While it might have been nice to get some perspective from those currently working in the more mainstream, big budget game space, it would have diluted the story at the film's core. The laser-like focus on those stories might not make Indie Game an all-encompassing view of the entire industry, but it does make it a genuinely great film.
I recommend Indie Game: The Movie for anyone who has even a passing interest in games, game development, or just the process of artistic creation in general. This is a universally watchable documentary, something the game industry has rarely had before, and desperately needs as the rest of the world becomes more and more aware of the medium. Does the film have its flaws? Certainly, but none of those flaws detract from the movie's central goal of capturing highly personal independent game development experiences, warts and all, and making them into a story anyone can appreciate.
Indie Game: The Movie is now available via iTunes, Steam, and as a DRM-free download from the film's official website. DVD and Blu-ray versions currently do not have a release date, but are in the works. Expect the movie to appear on Netflix and other streaming services sometime in the (hopefully) foreseeable future.

The characteristics of evoked potentials due to omission of stimuli in a sequence of rhythmic auditory tones
Gurtubay I.G., Artieda J.
Departamento de Neurología y Neurocirugía, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad de Navarra, Pamplona, España.
Revisão:Revista de Neurología
Data: 1/Set/1999Neurofisiologia [ES]
The detection of absence of a stimulus from a sequence of rhythmic stimuli generates potentials which may express different cognitive processes from the P300 wave.
In nine healthy subjects we studied the differences between the P300 wave obtained by the 'odd ball' paradigm and the potentials evoked by random omission of an auditory tone in a rhythmic sequence of tones of 1,000 Hz. Stimulation was biaural at a frequency of 0.7 Hz and a proportion of stimuli were frequent/infrequent or omitted 3/1. The subjects indicated appearance of an infrequent stimulus or its omission by moving a finger. The potentials were registered on all the points of the international system 10-20.
All the subjects evoked potentials P300 and P3o with a range of maximum latencies between 212 and 424 ms, without any differences between the two conditions being observed. The amplitude of P3o was significantly less than that of the P300 for all the electrodes. The topographical distribution of both waves, although predominantly in the midline, was more posterior in the case of P3o with lateralization to the left parietal region.
The potentials omitted show some differences from the P300 wave and this may be derived from the process of estimation and production of a time interval, which is essential in detecting omission of a stimulus, and is useful in the study of time perception and the generation of internal rhythms.

Welcome To The Wilson Homestead
Hi! We are a young family living in the beautiful state of Montana. We are passionate about supplying healthy and simple products. All our items are Made In Montana certified.
We love using natural products - but it is difficult to find products that are truly natural with only real ingredients that we understood. No synthetic fragrances, additives or colors. After searching and being disappointed we decided to make what we wanted ourselves! So our soap making was born! Soon we needed deodorant and lip balms and lotion.... also all without any chemicals, preservatives or synthetic ingredients. The results are the products you see in our shop! We hope you love them as much as we do!
Costomer Reviews
Kristyne Smith
So stoked on my new products!!! 4 soap bars, lip balm, and the lotion is AMAZING! I use a ton of lotion due to a serious dry skin problem I've always had. However, lately I've found I use gobs at a time and my legs still itch. I used my new lotion that's all natural and my skin just soaks it up and holds the moisture. Extremely impressed with these products and don't plan on going back to store bought shampoo or conditioner.
April Cappel
I LOVE your product! I have super sensitive skin and I've reacted SO well to your products and they have even helped my skin heal! Neither the deodorant or the chap stick caused any irritation AND they actually do their job! Thank you!
Brooke Chaffee-Brown
I purchased the lavender coconut oil lotion for my daughter's eczema and she loves how is smells and feels. I also purchased the tea tree deodorant and it works well and smells nice. Thanks for making these all natural products! We Love them!!!

Albemarle County residents had the chance to hear their candidates' positions, particularly on environmental issues.
Candidates for the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors squared off at a candidate forum on environmental issues.
The Sierra Club organized the event, which took place in Charlottesville Monday night. People could listen to candidates talk about several questions and ask their own through notecards read outloud by a moderator.
Candidates discussed stormwater runoff, the 29 Bypass, climate change, solid waste and recycling, protecting the Rivanna River, their environmental priorities, and other environmental issues.
"We did a City Council forum back in...the Spring before the primaries and we thought that it was really successful. It brought together a lot of the enviornmental community with the opportunity to really hear the candidates speak about their positions. Whereas, when we do endorsements, we just have them fill out questionaires, so it's nice to have them speaking in public and it gets their environmental positions out to a broader public. And, so, we thought we'd do it again with the Board of Supervisors," said Jessica Gephart, Political Chair for the Sierra Club Piedmont Group and moderator for the forum.
The forum was co-sponsored by 350 Central Virginia, 350 UVa, Advocates for a Sustainable Albemarle Population, Appalachian Voices, Better World Betty, Community Bikes, EcoFair Committee, Healthy Food Coalition, League of Women Voters, Living Energy Farm, Rivanna Conservation Society, Slow Food at UVa, Transition Charlottesville-Albemarle, and Virginia Organizing.
If you didn't make it out tonight, you have another chance this week.
The Jefferson Area Tea Party will host back-to-back forums for Albemarle Board of Supervisors and Charlottesville City Council Candidates on Thursday night at the Albemarle County Office Building. It will last from 6-8 p.m.

The D90 is one of the oldest APS-C DSLRs that is still commercially produced by Nikon. Launched way back in 2008 the D90 replaced the even older D80 that was launched two years prior. The D80 was another successful mid-range camera. The D90 occupies a place of interest mainly among those who already own and use it. New camera buyers would prefer something like the D7000 if he is interested in a slightly better list of features, or if he is having a slightly better budget then the D7100. The D90's archaic 12.9 megapixel sensor has been surpassed by even the cheapest entry level Nikon DSLRs since. But still this review takes into consideration the fact that there are thousands of users out there who still use this model and it happens to be one of the most clicked cameras around the world.
Comparatively the Canon 60D is a 'recent' model. But even then it was too launched sometime back (2010 to be precise). It is one of the most popular mid-range DSLRs produced by Canon yet and features a Pentaprism viewfinder, 18 megapixels sensor and a tilting flipping monitor. Much water has gone down the Thames since the launch of these two DSLRs. Even these two cameras have a healthy 2 year gap between them which reflects in their sensor technology, video shooting capabilities and design ergonomics. This discussion pits this two unlikely rivals against each other in a showdown of archaic DSLR bodies. If you are looking for some priceless inputs as to which DSLR you should buy this course that we have might just be what you have been waiting for. Or else you could also check this course that gives more than just DSLR buying tips and could actually help you to get started in photography.
Sensor Size, Megapixels and Crop Factor
The 60D has an 18 megapixels APS-C sensor of dimensions 22.3 x 14.9mm, capable of shooting large fine jpegs of size 5184 x 3456 pixels. The Nikon on the other hand has a 12.3 megapixel sensor of size 23.6 x 15.8mm and it shoots large fine jpegs of size 4288 x 2848 pixels. The 60D wins the megapixel race hands down. Both the sensors are crop. The Nikon has a 1.5x crop factor and that of the Canon is 1.6x.
Body, Dimension and Build Quality
In as much as weight is concerned the 60D is slightly heavier than the D90. 675 grams compared to 620 grams. The dimensions are also bigger in favor of the 60D. It measures 144.5mm x 105.8mm x 78.6mm compared to the D90 which measures 132mm x 103mm x 77mm. Look and feel of the D90 is almost identical to that of the older model which it replaced, the D80. However, underneath the hood the changes are more than just superficial. Both the D90 and the 60D has all the buttons, dials, bells and thistles that make a mid-range DSLR what it is. However, there are a number of differences. Main among them is the monitor at the back of the camera. The monitor of the 60D is an articulated one while that of the D90 is a fixed one.
Both the D90 and the 60D has a single storage card compartment that is compatible with SD cards. But while the 60D is compatible with all SD, SDHC and SDXC type cards the D90 is only compatible with SD and SDHC cards. Evidently, the older D90 loses out to the newer 60D in this respect.
Viewfinder and Frame Coverage
Both the D90 and the 60D has Pentaprism based viewfinders and both of them have only 96% frame coverage. If you are looking for precise viewfinder based composition you will need to be extra careful when shooting. You are going to get more than what you have composed in the final images. Being Pentaprism based DSLRs the image coming through the viewfinder is brighter and clearer compared to entry level and pentamirror based DSLRs from both Nikon and Canon.
The Monitor
The LCD monitor at the back of the camera is going to be more than just for review of the pictures that you shoot. With a 100% frame coverage you could simply switch to live view and compose when the viewfinder is not suitable. The monitor is also necessary for the purpose of shooting videos. The mirror flips up and the view that you get on the LCD monitor is straight what the sensor sees.
The D90 boasts a 3" non-articulated monitor with 920,000 dots resolution. Impressive by 2008 standards especially when you consider that the latest D3300 has only a 921,000 dots resolution (launched in 2014). Comparatively the 60D has a 3" LCD monitor as well but with 1040,000 dots resolution. However the differentiating point is the tilting flipping properties of the 60D's monitor which makes it extremely convenient when shooting videos and or when photographing from a very low angle.
Shutter Speed
So far as maximum shutter speed is concerned the 60D is slightly faster compared to the older D90. The maximum shutter speed of the D90 is 1/4000th of a second and that of the 60D is 1/8000th of a second.
Movie Mode
Hands down the 60D is a much better video shooter than the D90. The Nikon shoots only 720p (progressive) HD whereas the 60D shoots in full HD (1920 x 1080p) at 25, 24 and 30 fps. But what that statement belies is that the D90 was the first DSLR ever to have HD video shooting capabilities (and for that matter any type of video shooting). As you can imagine a lot has changed in the two years that video shooting was first introduced into DSLRs. Nevertheless, the shutter speed in the D90 can be manually adjusted and so is aperture. It records sound in mono mode only. In fact the 60D also shoots in mono but it has a vastly improved video mode and additionally allows sound input via a 3.5mm external mic input. Clearly the D90 is not your clear favorite for video shooting. If you are looking for tips and suggestions on how to improve your DSLR video shooting prowess this film course can really help.
AF Points
The D90 has a total of 11 AF points, the same as some of the other entry level Nikon DSLRs such as the D3100. It has a single center cross-type AF point. It, however, has 3-D tracking to cover if the subject you are trying to photograph is moving about. The 60D on the contrary has a 9-point AF system all of which are cross-type. The center AF point is a dual cross-type which ensures better focusing. With some of the latest DSLRs featuring 39-point and 51-point AF systems this is not a spec which one would be impressed reading in 2014. Between the two though, the 60D has a far superior focusing system compared to the D90.
Continuous Shooting Speed
At 5.3 fps the 60D is not your favorite in terms of continuous shooting either. But having said that the D90 shoots at only 4.5 fps. None of the modes are particularly good if you are planning to photograph sports or fast action.
The D90 is one of the models that is on the threshold of being called archived. A look at the Nikon USA website will inform you that it has already been archived. However, you can still it some of the online retailers for just under $900 with an 18-105mm kit lens. The 60D is more in the available zone and you could get it with a kit 18-135mm lens for a tag less than $1000.
Closing Up
Sitting in 2014, between the two cameras the 60D is definitely the better buy. You could still buy the D90 for your collection, but in that case you could buy a used one eBay for less than $500. One would argue that either way the camera is not important for shooting better photography, and he would be right in saying that. Photos are made by photographers and not cameras.

Corn Fed Spartan Team Member Brian Yensho II Shed 60 Pounds and Ran 2,000 Miles in 2016
The Corn Fed Spartans team are really onto something in the obstacle course racing world. My first article about this Spartan Race group with nearly 5,000 members was about Josh Saunders, who lost 100 pounds training for Spartan Race then, I had the honor to speak with the Guardian Heat captain Cliff Cunningham. Coincidentally, it's Cunningham who played a large part in our next Spartan's decision to go Corn Fed: Brian Yensho II. A NASM-certified personal trainer, PharmD (doctorate in Pharmacy) student at Butler University and Pharmacy Intern, Yensho ran 15 half-marathons, 10 5K races, and seven obstacle races in 2016. All that running resulted in significant weight loss.
"I've dropped 60 pounds since my first road race in December 2015, the Santa Hustle Half Marathon in Indianapolis," says Yensho. "I've ran over 2,000 miles between road races and OCRs in 2016."
A resident of Indianapolis, IN, Yensho was captain of his high school gymnastics team, was a member of the Gymnastics Club Team at Indiana University (where he earned two Bachelor's Degrees), became a licensed USA Swimming and Diving Coach and was a Lifeguard Instructor for the American Red Cross at IU. Yensho's entrance into running started at that December 2015 half-marathon, where he met first encountered people wearing Corn Fed Spartans merchandise. Not surprisingly, most people who do OCRs have running backgrounds or start to run more often once they've done a few OCRs. In the case of Corn Fed, the members do local running races as a team.
"When I was running, I saw several people wearing 'Corn Fed Spartans' jerseys and I thought 'Oh, that's weird, I didn't know Spartan Racers did anything else but the actual Spartan Race, like you hear about or see on TV,'" says Yensho. "I was intrigued by that and as I kept doing more street races, I kept seeing more Spartans and finally one day I went up to the group and that's how I met Cunningham. He was one of the most amazing people, very positive, uplifting and he didn't care about what your background was—he just wanted to make sure you were having fun."
Cunningham ensured Yensho that he could complete a Spartan Race and that he would personally ensure Yensho crossed the finish line. Yensho wound up joining Corn Fed Spartans in July 2016 and started becoming very active within the organization.
"It made races more fun and I learned a bunch of different ways to train that you wouldn't have gotten by yourself," Yensho adds.
Yensho's first-ever OCR was the Indiana Sprint in July at Perfect Slopes in Lawrenceburg, IN and he describes the experience as "brutal," especially since he did minimal training or preparation for the event.
"I got hooked because I wanted all of the pieces of the Spartan Trifecta medal," says Yensho. "I had to quickly make a mad dash to see what Supers and Beasts were in the area because the team had already completed their trifecta by doing the Chicago and Ohio races."
After experiencing the physical demands of a mountainous Spartan Race course, Yensho decided to incorporate more gym training into his routine. He typically runs outdoors 3-5 times per week for cardio. Weather isn't factor since he loves the cold and would prefer winter races over summer ones. For strength training, Yensho trains upper body twice a week and a legs once a week, doing barbell squats, lunges, thrusters and more. He favors a circuit training style since it's efficient and allows for a variety of moves to be performed in a short amount of time.
"I got cocky at first because due to my gymnastics past, I thought I could traverse any rig or anything with a bar but I was wrong," says Yensho. "You're exhausted by the time you reach the rig, the bars are muddy and slippery, and the bars/apparatuses are not evenly spaced out so that was a new concept to me."
Although he's most active in the Corn Fed Spartans team, Yensho also joined other major Spartan Race teams' Facebook groups, including New England Spahtens and Southern Spartans. This came in handy when he decided to sign up for the Boston Spartan Super in August. Hearing Yensho explain just how easy it was to secure lodging for out-of-state races is encouraging to this race alone, get a hotel room to myself OCR traveler. Yensho says the mere volume of races he did in 2016 led him to seek less expensive ways of traveling.
"I posted on the New England Spahten's page with a message like, 'Hey, I'm going to be in town for this race, is there anyone who can let me stay with you guys for a night?'" Yensho says. "The New England Spahtens responded saying 'Oh, you're Corn Fed, you can stay with us.'"
The same strategy worked for the Carolina Beast in October, where Yensho earned his first Spartan Trifecta. He's not aware of Corn Fed ever denying any traveler's lodging requests. About the Carolina Beast, Yensho says: "The first part of the race seemed to have only a handful of obstacles and then there was just uphill/downhill for over seven miles then the last several miles seemed to have all of the obstacles. It's mentally challenging because you didn't know when all of the obstacles were going to start popping up and once you got to a certain point, you knew they're all packed into a couple of miles."
Becoming an active member of Corn Fed Spartans has led Yensho to lean heavier on OCR in 2017.
"When I started doing road races, I got into the mindset that I was racing by myself, for myself, but when I joined Corn Fed, it was a whole different experience in a positive way," Yensho says. "Spartan Races are harder than just running but because you're encouraged to work as a team [in open heats], which makes it more fun. Next year, my schedule is more OCR-loaded compared to road running races."
After running that first half-marathon in December 2015, Yensho registered for the NASM-CPT exam to learn how to become a better athlete and train properly. And although he has clients, his work and school commitments limit him to 2-3 clients at a time. Even with a packed schedule, Yensho is drawn to completing Spartan Race's educational material. Specifically, he completed the Spartan X Course in October 2016, a 10-module online course designed to help people achieve success using their minds.
"Spartan X breaks down getting your life skills, time management and goals in line and details the best way to attack and approach them," Yensho says. "Also, the course teaches you how to deal with adversity that would make the average normal person give up and quit. Instead you say, 'I know how to handle this because I have a skill set and method that I can apply to overcome anything that comes into my life.' It helps break things down into smaller pieces to manage aspects of your life more efficiently."
Yensho is preparing to take the Spartan SGX Course, Spartan Obstacle Specialist Course and the Spartan Edge Course.
"I'm passionate about the whole Spartan program in general and the different programs they have that are not races," Yensho says. "I look at the Spartan SGX Course as a way to train more efficiently and it's a great asset to have to help people who are on the fence about doing an OCR. I'm really excited about taking the Spartan Obstacle Specialist Course which breaks down the technique of every obstacle one by one so that when you get there you're not like 'Oh, God, I have no idea how to do this.'"
There is undoubtedly that feeling of unknown prior to your first OCR. What if I get gassed too soon? What if I can't do an obstacle? Once you cross the finish line after a 3-5 mile OCR, it becomes clear that literally the majority of people can complete the course, even if they walk it. Yensho agrees with this sentiment that OCR is for most people.
"I feel like everyone could do a Spartan Race if they tried and I like the fact Spartan gives you the option of doing burpees instead of failing the obstacle, per say," Yensho says. "At each Spartan Race, I've completed more obstacles so there are few left that I don't know how to do which is cool."
Yensho's story is an example of how quickly one Spartan Race can turn into a commitment to living the proverbial Spartan life on and outside of the course. It's also a testament to the outreach and marketing capability that Corn Fed Spartans has. Last, Yensho represents the "guy who's just looking for a place to crash on Friday for the Saturday morning race." And there lies the true appeal of OCR: making friends will lead to traveling the country (and world) for cheaper and with way more fun than if you were to do it alone.

Drought was to blame for the extinction of Tasmanian tigers from the Australian mainland, a new study by the University of Adelaide has found.
Using DNA from fossil bones and museum specimens, the report says drought caused by the onset of El Nino weather patterns was the likely cause of the tiger's demise.
"The ancient DNA tells us that the mainland extinction was rapid, and not the result of intrinsic factors such as inbreeding or loss of genetic diversity," researcher Lauren White said.
Ms White said tigers lived in western regions of Australia right up to their extinction from the mainland around 3000 years ago.
The researcher said the reasons for the tiger's disappearance but continuing survival in Tasmania until the 1930s had remained a scientific mystery.
Previous theories include the introduction of dingoes and an increased Indigenous population.
But professor Jeremy Austin, said both groups went through a population crash at the same time and with no dingoes in Tasmania at the time and minimal population, weather was the most likely cause.
"Tasmania would have been somewhat shielded from the warmer, drier climate because of its higher rainfall but it appears that this population was also affected by the El Nino event before starting to recover," Mr Austin said.
The animal survived in Tasmania after European settlement but the local government offered a bounty for tigers claiming the animal was attacking sheep.
The last wild Tasmanian tiger was shot by a farmer in 1930 and the last in captivity died in 1936.
There have been numerous unconfirmed sighting ever since the animal was declared extinct.

NordicTrack A2050 Specs
The NordicTrack A2050 is a compact, folding treadmill designed for residential use only, with a maximum user load of 300 pounds. Although the A2050 is an older treadmill model, produced in 2004, it offers some advanced features, such as iFit technology and built-in fitness programs that control the incline and speed settings for you. You won't find the A2050 new anymore, but you may find used units for sale.
What the A2050 Can Do
The A2050 is capable of speeds up to 10 mph and an incline up to 12 percent. Use the up and down arrow buttons on the console to adjust the speed and incline manually. Like many NordicTrack treadmills, the A2050 has pulse sensors on the hand grips so you can check your heart rate during your workout. Step onto the foot rails and grab the sensors for at least 15 seconds until your heart rate displays. This unit is compatible with an optional sensor that you wear around your chest, but you must purchase this accessory separately. With the chest sensor, you don't have to interrupt your workout to grab the handles; the chest sensor automatically relays the information to the treadmill.
What the A2050 Has to Tell You
The console features an electronic display, a book holder, two accessory trays and a built-in fan with four running modes: low, medium, high and auto, which changes the speed of the fan as the speed of the belt changes. The electronic display provides information about your workout, including incline level, elapsed time, approximate calories burned, approximate grams of carbs burned, heart rate, speed and pace, as measured in minutes per mile. An odometer button on the console shows the total miles the walking belt has moved since the treadmill was purchased, the total miles walked since the odometer was last cleared and the distance covered during the current workout.
The A2050 as a Personal Trainer
The NordicTrack A2050 includes eight preset programs. Each program is divided into 20, 30 or 40 one-minute segments and each segment has one speed and one incline setting controlled by the treadmill. The A2050 also includes two heart rate programs. When selecting a heart rate program, first choose your maximum heart rate, which the program will not exceed. The program is divided into 20 one-minute segments, each one with a target heart rate. The treadmill adjusts the speed and incline to keep your heart rate near this target rate. You must wear the optional chest-pulse sensor to use the heart rate programs.
Advanced Fitness With the A2050
Use a stereo audio cable to connect the A2050 to your stereo, MP3 player, CD player or computer. Purchase iFit CDs or online workouts to use with your NordicTrack treadmill. iFit programs control the incline and speed settings as a personal trainer walks you through the workout and music plays in the background. You can manually override the iFit program choices by pressing the incline and speed buttons on the console.

An Easter egg hunt turned into a stampede as some eager parents stormed the fences and sent their kids out ahead of the start time at Quebec's Centre de la nature de Laval on Saturday.
Organizers of the annual "Cocothon" initially expected that about 3,000 people would attend the hunt, but 10,000 showed up and a number of them just couldn't wait, CBC News reported.
A TVA video from the event shows parents disassembling the fence and sending kids out on the hunt. There were also reports of children being pushed over as others scooped up the plastic eggs with treats inside.
Kids had eggs stolen right out of their baskets when they turned their backs and adults were seen trampling bushes at the centre, reported radio station CJAD 800.
Organizers posted an apology in French on the centre's Facebook page on Monday.
Translated into English it reads, "The Foundation of the Laval Nature Centre will meet with the #Cocothon organizer for updates on the event. Apologies to all disappointed families."
A police presence is being considered for the next event.
