Cookie Synching
Cookies are the primary mechanism by which publishers, advertisers, ad networks, ad exchanges, demand side platforms and data exchanges store and track information about users.
Cookies are domain specific — in other words, a Cookie set by domain foo.com cannot be read by a server from domain bar.com. This present a problem for server-to-server advertising protocols like RTB, where the bidders cannot read cookies set from their domain because they don't have access to the user's browser.
Cookie Synching refers to the process of mapping user Ids from one system to another. The systems across which the user Ids are mapped could be Ad Networks, DSPs, Ad Exchanges or Data Providers.
Ad Exchanges and DSPs use Cookie-synching to enable the integration of Data Providers with their respective platforms so that all of their partners can benefit from the integration.
The basic underlying assumption with the Cookie-synching process is that all information sharing occurs via HTTP redirects, pixel URLs and cookies. In order for system A to exchange user data with system B, the 2 systems need to have a common ID. Since these are disparate systems and they also integrate with other systems, there is no notion of a common user ID. Initiatives like GUID are a good first step towards solving this problem but until it is widely adopted, it is pretty safe to assume that 2 systems that want to integrate data at a user level cannot do so without some sort of mapping between the user IDs in the 2 systems.
The Cookie-synching process is a mechanism to build such a mapping. Here is how it works:
- System A (say an Ad Network) gets access to a user's browser (as part of an Ad Serving request). It creates a unique user ID for the user (if one does not already exists; if it does it will be there in the corresponding system A cookie on the user's browser) and calls a pixel URL supplied by system B (say a Data Exchange or Data Provider). System A includes the ID of the user as a parameter in the pixel URL call.
- System B's pixel URL server reads the ID of the user assigned by System A and creates an ID of it's own for the user (if one does not already exist; if it does it will be there in the corresponding system B cookie on the user's browser). System B can now store the user mapping for this user in it's database or in the user's browser using another cookie.
- A slight variation of this process involves System A storing the mapping also. In this case, after system B generates it's user ID, it redirects to a pixel URL supplied by system A and includes the system B user ID.
Use Cases
Re-targeting on Ad Exchanges
The first Cookie-Synching use case that we will explore involves an Advertiser (say Ford) that wants to use a Retargeting company (say Acme Retargeters) to deliver re-marketing messages to users who were on Ford's website. Acme Retargeters plans to use an Ad Exchange and RTB to get access to inventory. In order to implement this retargeting system, Acme needs to match users who were on Ford's website to the bid requests that it gets from the Ad Exchange. In order to do so, it needs to do 2 things:
- Tag all pages on the Ford website in order to identify Ford users (this results in an Acme User ID cookie being set on the browser of every user who visits the Ford website).
- Implement Cookie Synching with the Ad Exchange to map Ad Exchange users to Ford users.
The complete sequence of steps is presented below:
- Acme and Ad Exchange implement Cookie Synching — Acme can map the Ad Exchange User ID in the bid request from the Ad Exchange to the Acme ID for the same user
- Ford tags all of their pages with Acme's Pixel Tag (Javascript/IFrame/IMG)
- User visits the Ford website
- Acme's tag code gets called and instructs the user's browser (via a Redirect call) to fetch a 1×1 pixel image from Acme's servers. Acme sets a User ID cookie on the user's browser marking the user as a "Ford User".
- Acme gets a bid request from the Ad Exchange. Using the Cookie-Synch map and its database of Ford users, it determines that the user is a "Ford User" and serves a Ford Re-marketing message to the user.
Ad Exchange – Data Exchange Partnership
A slightly more complicated use case for Cookie-Synching involves an Ad Exchange that uses RTB (Real-time Bidding) wanting to provide data from a Data Exchange to all bidders as part of the RTB Bid requests. This does require the Bidders to sign an agreement with the Data Exchange but the bidders don't need to do any technical integration with the Data Exchange in order to start seeing the appropriate user data in the bid requests sent to them. The entire workflow is outlined below:
- User X visits a Data Provider website (say Expedia and searches for a ticket to NY).
- Data Exchange tag gets called and Data Exchange assigns an ID to the user (if one doesn't already exist; if one does, it is read from the corresponding Cookie) and also assigns the user to the "NY Travel Intender" audience segment.
The response to the Data Tag from the Data Exchange results in the following things:
- (3.1) Pixel URLs for all Buyers who won the data event auction (please see [[Data Exchange Overview]]).
- (3.2) A Pixel URL for the Ad Exchange which gets called by the user's browser with the ID of the user as assigned by the Data Exchange as a URL parameter.
- (3.3) The Ad Exchange now gets access to the user's browser and creates a User ID cookie of it's own and stores the mapping between the Ad Exchange User ID and the Data Exchange User ID in persistent storage and/or in another cookie on the user's browser.
In addition to the above 3 real-time transactions, the Data Exchange also makes its user profile database available to the Ad Exchange. This is done in 1 of 2 ways:
- A periodic snapshot of the database is provided by the Data Exchange to the Ad Exchange
- A real-time API is provided by the Data Exchange which can be called by the Ad Exchange during the Ad Call (see step 5 below).
- User X visits an Inventory Provider website (say CNN). CNN uses the Ad Exchange to monetize its remnant inventory.
- The Ad Exchange's Ad Tag gets called to serve an Ad to user X. At this point, the Ad Exchange constructs a Bid Request and includes all the contextual information about the Ad Request (Ad Size, Content information, etc.) in the Bid Request. The Ad Exchange also looks up the user profile information supplied by the Data Exchange (either through a real-time call to the Data Exchange or in the offline user profile database that is provided by the Data Exchange) and includes that in the bid request also.
- The Ad Exchange sends the Bid Request to all bidders using its RTB protocol. It collects bids from all the bidders and picks the bidder with the highest bid as the winner — this was an Ad Network that was running a campaign for the Hudson River Tours company and the Ad Network used the Travel data included in the bid request to submit a high bid for the ad request.
- The Ad Network serves the Hudson River Tours company Ad to user X.

Scott Wisneski Composition II Professor Schweitzer February 18, 2011 The Jury is Out: Most Death Row Inmates Unrepentant On October 21, 2010, Larry Wooten, convicted in 1998 of robbing and brutally murdering an elderly couple, issued this last statement before his execution by lethal injection: "No sir. Warden, Since I don't have nothing to say, you can go ahead and send me to my Heavenly Father." [here is a big decision you'd have to make if you were really going to be writing this essay: how are you going to cite these last statements; usually, when writers are going to using the same source over and over again, they create a "shorthand" citation that they explain in full in an endnote; think about how you might do that] Wooten is not alone among the 464 death row inmates executed in Texas between 1982 and 2010 who have expressed no remorse for their victims in their last words. In fact, the overwhelming majority of executed offenders appear to remain unapologetic of their crimes to the very end. In the process of researching this topic, a wide variety of criteria were used in an attempt to classify the last words of death row inmates as remorseful or unremorseful. Statements expressing remorse were divided between remorse for the victims or the victim's family, and remorse of the convicts for themselves. Religious statements were dissected to ascertain whether the convict was invoking a deity to ask for forgiveness for one's crimes or for self-serving reasons, such as admittance into heaven. References to a faulty legal system were also inspected, as some convicts' last words were used to implicate themselves in other crimes, or to exonerate others. Final goodbyes were scrutinized for remorse and well—wishing to the victims' families who may have been present at the execution. Finally, remorseless last statements expressing things [avoid: boring and vague word] such as anger, defiance, apathy, and blaming others were tallied as well. Comments: Excellent intro to a research essay, expressing clear both the thesis and the methodology. I like beginning with a quote, but I think you could have found a more interesting example of an unrepentant inmate. Grade: 98.

Good riddance and DLTDHYOTWO: Ken Salazar exiting Interior in March
Screw up, cover up, move up, pack up. After trampling the rule of law, defying court orders, doctoring scientific conclusions, threatening the media for asking inconvenient questions, and destroying countless jobs in the name of environmental protection, President Obama's loathsome cowboy Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is finally headed for the exit door.
The Denver Post reports late tonight that the rogue Department of Interior chief will step down in March to spend more time with family in Colorado:
The secretary is not shy talking about how much he loves his job as steward of the country's public lands. He often says the Department of Interior is really the Department of America.
"As I think about my role as secretary of the Interior, it is perhaps the most wonderful job of any cabinet position in the United States," Salazar said in December. "I would not trade it for attorney general or Housing and Urban Development or Transportation because I would find those jobs a little boring."
But the pull of family obligations — he and his wife are primary caretakers of their 5-year-old granddaughter who has autism and is enrolled in a special school — was too great to commit to four more years, Salazar's office said.
His days in Washington are long. Some weeks he spends 16 hours a day traveling from one far-flung location to the other — from some pristine causeway in California to the Hurricane Sandy-ravaged New Jersey coast.
You know whose days are also long? The days of all the workers and companies that Salazar helped crush over the last four years.
Good riddance and DLTDHYOTWO. For the sake of my fellow Coloradans, let's hope Salazar isn't headed for the revolving door back into another position of power. We've had enough.

Would you be interested in some Dinosaur food (Gunnera Manicata ) seeds or plant? ( i can start the seeds, and send it early) Gunnera can have up to 8 foot leaves, so it realy IS a garden monster. It loves water (being a giant ruhbarb, although not edible) i do have a (slightly) smaller variety (leaves get to 4-6 feet). Definitely one of the largest plants i have by far.

Halo 4
So how often does anyone actually use the spartan laser?
It seems like its only real niche is killing vehicles from a vantage point. If you're actually sniping, the DMR's roughly as effective and far easier to use, if you're anywhere near a vehicle you're better off with... well any other explosive, really.
Perhaps more to the point, what motivates someone to pick the SL from an ordinance drop?
...and that's how I came to be known as the Flourescent Haberdasher.
The only time I call in a sl is if there's a bunch of vehicles around. The only time I think it would be effective for killing Spartans is when they arefar away and you know they will just hide after shooting them with a dmr. This way if you keep the laser off them when charging you can kill them before they hide
Well, for starters, I use it because it's my favorite weapon in HALO by far.
Second, I use it on infantry if there are no enemy vehicles out.
Third, I use it if I'm not going for any particular weapon Commendation or I didn't get the choice for a weapon I still need the Commendation for(which at this point is only Needler, Fuel Rod, Concussion Rifle, & Beam Rifle).
RE4, REmake, HALO 1 & 3, & other videos here v
I barely use them because I know I'll never get a kill with it. I'll either be killed trying to use it or I'll run out of ammo and have to ditch it without making a dent on anyone due to its slow charge and people moving slightly to the left or right just as I fire it.

I've actually killed more infantry with it than people in vehicles. It's great for Banshee control or taking out a hog, but nothing is as satisfying as frying someone across the map with it while they jump dodge and try to strafe away from the laser.

BTB Exile is the easiest map to pick up almost every single weapon commendation there is. Being populated 90% by idiots and people that don't know how to FPS certainly helps that.

Old Harley Davidson Gunk Can
- Sold for: Start FREE Trial! or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category:
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: Jan 16,2007
- Channel: Online Auction
This is a late 1950's Harley Davidson Motorcycle company one gallon "Gunk" can (Gunk being a grease dissolver). The can is empty, having been cleaned with mineral spirits and hot soapy water. The can does not seem to leak. This can is NOT a reproduction like many current products; it is pre-zip code, original, and in decent condition. T are a couple small dents, and t is quite a lot of patina on the top of the can at the lid and handle area. This is a perfect item for those of you who are rightfully proud of America's great motorcycle, and want to exhibit Harley accessories on a shelf or display cabinet. Will ship within the continental U.S.A. for $10.00.

Dance music service Beatport finally launches an app
Apple and Beats Developing Streaming Music Service to Rival Spotify
Facebook Messenger evolves: here's what it means for music
Best Practices For A YouTube Multi-Channel Network 2.0
Even if you did not attend SXSW, you must have heard about the giant Doritos vending machine/stage, free BBQ via pedicabs, homeless hotspots, The Boss' "you can do it" keynote or at least, A$AP Rocky's do-rag.
No? Well it's easy to lose track of what's going on at SXSW and cut through all the noise, so I've put together some documentation of what The Orchard crew was up to for SXSW 2012.
Some members of our team arrived for Interactive to touch base with some of our tech partners and fellow nerds. Among the many were our friends at Webdoc, Fanbridge, Topspin and Rdio. We hit up some panels, tried to squeeze into the Al Gore + Sean Parker keynote and checked out the Google Village whenever we had a spare moment.
The Music Fest brought us together with loads of our clients and we did our best to get out to as many shows as we could, namely, Cleopatra Records' Blackburner's mind-blowing set, Lefse's lovely showcase, Volcom's beerfest and metal mania, Barsuk's stellar jam sesh and MANY more. Not to mention IODA's day party with some of our favorite buzz bands taking the stage. The Orchard's Day Party with Radical Dads, Arms, Scoundrels, Races, Vintage Trouble and Rhett Miller had us enjoying every minute of the day on Friday along with free tacos and beer at Parkside in Austin (PICS HERE). Also, we were thrilled to host the event alongside our sync department who announced their new venture, Concentrated Music.
This only touches on all of our festivities at SXSW but we do want to thank everyone who attended The Orchard's Day Party and all the amazing showcases hosted by some of our favorite labels. Signing off with some of our staff favorites from SXSW 2012 (Poliça and Vintage Trouble took the top):
The Orchard Creative Licensing team is proud to announce that USA Network's new CIA show, Covert Affairs, featured The Delta Mirror's "He Was Worse Than The Needle He Gave You" in its season finale. The track, which received Pitchfork's nod of approval, appears on the band's debut album Machines That Listen [Lefse Records].

Gardener's almanac (May 26)
Pinch mums – To get nice full mums this fall, pinch them back now. It's best to pinch them two or three times before July 4, K-State Research and Extension horticulturist Dennis Patton says. Cut back new growth by half, preferably starting when the plant has four to six leaves below each stem's top growth, Patton says. That will force the leaf axils below every cut to send out side shoots. The plant will be shorter but will end up with about six new stems wherever it used to have one.
"You repeat the process each time the new stems have put up about 4 inches of growth," Patton says. "If you only cut them back by about half, your plant will be about 2 inches taller after every trimming. You quit around the Fourth of July, so the shoots will have time to put on new growth and set buds. They'll be ready to bloom next fall."
Gardeners with just a few mums can pinch them by hand or cut off the tops with scissors. They can follow the usual practice of cutting about one-quarter of an inch above a leaf. "That's a little time-consuming and tedious, though," Patton says. "If you're a weekend-warrior-type gardener, you'll find it's a lot easier and faster to get out there with your hedge shears and chop them back. So long as you more or less keep the one-half rule in mind, that also will allow new shoots to break out and grow.
"If your plant's healthy, each shoot should produce a fistful of flowers. So, by multiplying each stem several times, you'll have that gorgeous bushy effect for the end of the season."
Mulch tomatoes – It's warm enough now for this task. See On the Garden Hotline elsewhere on this page for more information from the master gardeners.
Plant – Okra, basil, melons, pumpkins, beans, cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, sweet potatoes, sweet corn, squash, tomatoes.
Garden events

text: We stayed with Top of Townsend Oct. 10-14, 2012. The first thing that hit us upon entering was the stale smell of old cigarette smoke. (You could see it in the yellowing walls as well.) The carpets were dirty and stained as well as the sofa and chairs in the living room. We were afraid to hang our clothing in the closets in case they absorbed the smell. We bought (and used) an ENTIRE bottle of Febreeze fabric refresher on the carpets, bedding and couches. We also bought 2 Febreeze plug-in air fresheners and a Febreeze candle that we left burning the entire time we were inside the cabin. We did have clean sheets and linens, but the comforters were very old and torn in places. The pillows were flat as pancakes (thankfully we brought ours from home). The hot tub jets didn't work properly (some didn't work at all) and the light in the hot tub didn't work. Getting the cover back on the hot tub was difficult, as you also had to put a 2X4 board underneath it to hold it up (it took 2 people). Then, to top it all off, the so-called "Christian" owners called us thieves for not telling them that we brought 2 teenage girls with us, thinking that we were trying not to pay an extra $20 rather than thinking maybe we just didn't think about it?!?! I will not support someone who openly claims to be a Christian yet deals with others the way the owner dealt with me.

College Football 2012 — Week 11 Preview
We're getting down to crunch time in the college football season. Several top teams are trying to wrap up their respective divisions or keep their title hopes alive while others are just struggling to hold on to bowl eligibility. There are several interesting games this week: only three matchups between ranked teams, but 11 ranked teams have tough road trips.
Here is what to watch for this week in college football:
College Football 2012 — Week 10 Preview
Last week's showdowns knocked several teams from the ranks of the unbeaten and shook up the rankings. This week, we get two of the biggest games of the season, with Alabama-LSU and Oregon-USC setting the stage for conference- and national-championship runs.
But the excitement doesn't stop there. Here is what to watch for around the top 25:
College Football 2012 – Week Nine Recap
This week's rankings will look very different when the new AP Poll comes out following a Saturday full of upsets. Four Top Ten teams fell this week and five ranked teams suffered their first losses of the season. Meanwhile, Collin Klein and Manti T'eo boosted their Heisman chances while Alabama, Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame continued to make their case for a shot in the national title game.
Here are all highlights from a wild week in college football.
College Football 2012 — Week Nine Preview
It's always a sad moment when you realize that college football's regular season is more than halfway done, but it should still be a fun week with lots of exciting games on tap. Six of the top 10 teams in the country play ranked opponents, and 13 top 25 teams face challenges on the road.
Here is what to watch this week in college football:
LSU Defeats Texas A&M, 24-19
Mike Evans #13 of the Texas A&M Aggies runs the ball against Eric Reid #1 and Jalen Collins #32 of the LSU Tigers at Kyle Field on October 20, 2012 in College Station, Texas.

Saturday features four games between ranked opponents, including one top 10 game in the SEC. Additionally, 14 of the 22 ranked teams in action this weekend are playing road or neutral-site games.

The flaxseed / snake oil connection
Mar 30, 2012, 6 a.m.
Many women have probably read about the claims and potential health benefits of flaxseed, especially as far as menopause symptoms are concerned. But as far as science is concerned, there's no direct proof that these miracle-like hot flash remedies are legitimate. Some researchers will even go so far to say, "Beware the sales pitches."
"Snake oil" is a common term used to describe unreasonable and unproven claims of high benefits from certain substances. In this case, the scientists take issue with the claims attributed to flaxseed for aiding symptoms of menopause.
Mayo Clinic researchers announced in 2011 they discovered virtually no difference in results from testing the use of flaxseed with control groups of women who consumed an edible placebo bar compared to those women who ate a ground flaxseed bar as hot flash remedies. The testing showed no significant reduction in hot flashes in either group.
Flax is most likely the first domestic plant used by humans in history, according to evidence dating back to 30,000 B.C. It has been used for dying linen and other materials. The seed of this plant contains Omega-3 fatty oil, also called linseed. This oil is used widely for commercial lubrication, and the seeds are used as a food product. There are some flaxseed health benefits for other ailments.
Flaxseed is a good high-fiber food product that has shown to be useful for lowering cholesterol and estrogen levels in the human body, as well as being somewhat effective for fighting cancer. It is an antioxidant containing both soluble and insoluble fiber that aids the digestive process by providing bulk and bonding to (and removing) cholesterol. It may, however, interact with other drugs used for diabetes and heart anticoagulants. It has a short shelf life and needs to remain cold or frozen for best results; flaxseed may be used whole or ground in small quantities.
As always, users should always contact their own physician prior to taking any substance for medicinal purposes.

Amazon's Biggest Mistake: Not Begging For A Partnership With Apple
Oct. 29, 2014 • AMZN • 27 Comments
- Amazon wasted money and time developing its own hardware.
- Partnership, not competition, with Apple would have and, quite possibly, still makes the most sense.
- That said, Amazon's overarching, largely positive narrative remains intact.
Don't Apply 'Lessons' From The Dot-Com Bust Of 2000-2001 To 2014's Version Of Amazon
Oct. 28, 2014 • AMZN • 62 Comments
- Saying investors have given Amazon a "hall pass" incorrectly suggests Amazon has done something wrong.
- Along with a handful of other tech companies, Amazon has changed the way people live.
- With massive opportunity going forward, there's no reason to turn sour on Amazon now.
- And, most importantly, don't erroneously apply what happened during a dot-com bust 15 years ago to Amazon's situation today.
Thoughts On Cable And Satellite Going A La Carte
Oct. 27, 2014 • CBS, CMCSA, DTV • 11 Comments
- CBS and HBO's Internet-only offerings will prompt other networks to consider severing traditional ties with cable and satellite companies.
- Major professional sports leagues don't have to wait.
- As the NHL example illustrates, cable and satellite hold fans hostage for access to a relatively small batch of programming.
- Once sports falls, the cable and satellite establishment will crumble leading to a mad M&A scramble.
Will Pandora Steal Howard Stern From Sirius XM?
Oct. 23, 2014 • P • 34 Comments

- Howard Stern's contract with Sirius XM expires at the end of 2015.

Stop The Insanity: Apple Doesn't Have An 'iPad Problem'
Oct. 22, 2014 • AAPL • 138 Comments
- 12.3 million iPads sold does not represent anything "ugly" or "bad" at Apple.
- Considered critically, iPad represents one piece of Apple's body of work, which serves different sets of users in different ways at different times.
- Like Steve Jobs, Tim Cook focuses on this long haul body of work; investors should as well.
Is Apple Finally A Flight To Safety Stock?
Oct. 21, 2014 • AAPL • 16 Comments
- Apple has outperformed the major stock market indices over the past year.
- This makes Apple what it should be - a flight to safety during uncertain times for tech stocks.
- While names such as Netflix eventually show their true colors, Apple hums along.
Can Once Great American Retailers Rise Again?
Editors' Pick • Oct. 21, 2014 • AMZN, BBY, JCP • 3 Comments
- Failed strategies of the past, such as wholesale store closures, will not save physical retail's laggards.
- Brick and mortar retail must begin to act independent of Amazon.com, not merely in response to it.
- The first struggling retailer to hire an innovator as CEO could be the first legitimate long-term buy in a group that includes BBY, JCP and SHLD.
As Rogers Communications Trashes Hockey Night In Canada, Is The Stock A Buy?
Oct. 21, 2014 • RCI • 7 Comments
- Rogers Communications received a somewhat cautious upgrade Monday.
- While RCI performed remarkably well in 2012, it has been a dog for almost two years since.
- If hockey-related catalysts don't pan out, investors are left with nothing but a slow-growth Canadian telecommunications company.
Watch As Apple Hoses The Music Industry Yet Again
Oct. 20, 2014 • AAPL • 71 Comments

If The Apple Watch Fails, Does Tim Cook Get Fired?
Oct. 6, 2014 • AAPL • 116 Comments
- Apple's latest batch of iPhones ultimately contributes to Steve Jobs' legacy.
- Thus far, Tim Cook's regime rests on maintaining Apple's existing success and hoping for a hit with the forthcoming Apple Watch.
- Anything less than iPod, iPhone or iPad-like success with the watch will prompt the media and some investors to question Cook's effectiveness and long-term potential as CEO.
Apple Will Do A Television Set
Sep. 25, 2014 • AAPL • 129 Comments
- Don't laugh at Apple analyst Gene Munster, an Apple television set makes perfect sense.
- As Tim Cook has stated repeatedly the living room is ripe for disruption.
- Apple doesn't need content to produce and succeed with an integrated iTV/Apple set-top box combo.
Apple, Google Will Crush Microsoft Just As Amazon Did Best Buy
Sep. 24, 2014 • MSFT • 187 Comments
- Best Buy's stock performance in 2013 and now in 2014 is a mirage.

- Tech companies and competent retailers continue to put the hurt on a stagnant Best Buy.
- By a similar token, Apple, Google and others will loosen and eventually destroy Microsoft's foothold with business customers.
Apple's Next Billion-Dollar Business
Sep. 23, 2014 • AAPL • 46 Comments
- Apple dropped the ball on the U2 free "download" promotion.
- It's likely, however, that Tim Cook has bigger and better plans for Apple's music-related business.

- Yahoo must differentiate itself in the streaming video space.
- Mayer can exploit the largely untapped music industry for new revenue via live concert streaming.

- While the changes don't necessarily make Pandora shares a buy, keep an eye on what the company does next.
At Apple, There's No Need For Tim Cook To Be Revolutionary
Sep. 19, 2014 • AAPL • 115 Comments
- Tim Cook has escaped the once impossible overhang of replacing Steve Jobs.

|Ireland's Eoghan Clifford has won the C1-3 scratch race at the UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Apeldoorn in the Netherlands.
|The silver medal went to Joseph Berenyi of the United States and Spain's Eduardo Santas Asensio secured bronze.
|Colin Lynch was also competing in this event, but he suffered from a puncture in the closing laps and was forced to retire.
|Clifford, who is the reigning road and time trial world champion and who was competing in his very first scratch race, also claimed bronze in Friday's C3 3km individual pursuit.
|"I stayed near the back for the first few laps, but when the attacks started after five to six laps I knew my legs were good," the winner admitted afterwards.
|"I'm not an explosive rider, so I rode high on the track so I could cover moves, and when the pace died I put in a good hard dig to tire out people.
|"With about 25 laps to go I put in one big, huge attack when I saw the main guys boxed in, and I just kept going. That was a long 25 laps!
|"Once I caught the main group, I rode through to the front to keep out of danger and keep an eye on the rest."

Grace for the day
- Details
- Published: Thursday, 26 March 2015 17:03
- Hits: 97
I sat waiting to pull out onto the highway, and the line of cars was a far as the eye could see. I thought, "Wow! I'm going to be here awhile." Then, after about 10 seconds, a car deliberately slowed down to let me pull in. I smiled and waved, grateful to the lady for letting me in.
She had shown me "grace." Something she didn't need to do. Something I didn't deserve. Something I was very grateful for. I began to draw a new sense of direction from that one act of kindness. What would I do now, in light of that grace?
About a mile further on, I noticed a car waiting to pull out onto the highway. I slowed down deliberately and let him in. I smiled again.
God works in much the same way. He showed us grace when He came to earth. And He expects us to give grace away in the same way. The simple act of kindness shown to me "made my day." And, it is in my power to pass that along to someone else.

Is It Better To Be A Tech Worker In Los Angeles Or San Francisco?
This infographic compares life in the two cities.
Hired is a company that describes itself as a "two-sided marketplace created specifically for Engineers, Data Scientists, Designers and Product Managers who are overwhelmed with job opportunities."
They recently put together an infographic comparing life for tech workers in L.A. and San Francisco:
2. L.A. has an advantage when it comes to weather, however it's ranked far lower on a happiness scale than S.F.
3. In L.A., you'll be driving a lot. San Fran would be better for people who prefer public transportation or biking.
4. L.A. appears to have fewer job opportunities and lower average salaries. But coffee in S.F. costs a fortune, apparently.
5. If you're a beach person and you're single, Los Angeles seems to be a better bet.
6. But L.A. has a huge advantage in the housing department. Rents are nearly twice as much in San Francisco, and the median price of a home is nearly $1 million!
Choices, choices.

Artistic wood-turner Jonathan Leech lives and works in the north west of England. He produces a wide range of large, distinctive, wooden bowls from local, sustainably-sourced timber. Jonathan first began working with wood in 2005, when he joined the workshop of Cumbrian furniture-maker Danny Frost. As he spent more of his time working on the lathe, his initial interest developed into a passion and soon he was hooked! The natural beauty of his rural surroundings is a constant source of inspiration and this is reflected in his work. Each piece is hand-made from locally-sourced timber, obtained without damaging the environment – for example from fallen or storm-damaged trees.
The article above was submitted to us by an Inhabitat reader. Want to see your story on Inhabitat? Send us a tip by following this link. Remember to follow our instructions carefully to boost your chances of being chosen for publishing!
Jonathan Leech's preferred style is 'minimalist' – he creates simple designs which allow the wood to express its own qualities and individuality. This often includes natural edges, knot-holes, burrs, spalting, and other naturally-occurring imperfections. Among his most striking pieces are his large, natural edge, yew bowls. The rich orange of the heartwood contrasts sharply with the pale sapwood and, at up to 50cm in diameter, each of these bowls makes a stunning centerpiece.
Demand for Jonathan's work comes from a variety of sources, including interior designers, discerning home-owners and those seeking an unusual and unique gift. Jonathan's wooden bowls can be viewed in select galleries throughout the UK and they are available to purchase online via his website.
