Find the area of each regular polygon to the nearest tenth. Octagon with side length of 10 kilometers.
Heres what I tried; but I don't know if im on the right track.
Area=1/2 * Perimeter* Apothem
Perimeter=base of octagon* number of sides
Perimeter=10*8=80 km.
SO A=40a
(1/2 of 80 times apothem)
How do I find the apothem of the octagon?
Work on one of the 8 triangles, since they are all equal
Such a triangle is isosceles with a 45º formed by the equal sides and the other side is 10 km.
the other two angles are 67.5º each.
The apothem, which is simply the perpendicular distance from the centre of your regular polygon to one of the sides. It becomes the height of the triangle
Let the height be h, and use trig.
tan 67.5 = x/5
x = 5 tan 67.5 = 12.071
so the area of one triangle = 1/2 * 10 * 12.071 = 60.355....
the area of the octogon is 8 times that

Pollen is the male fertilising component of plant reproduction. Bees gather and bring it back to their hives for food. Without pollen, plants, trees and flowers could not exist; even we depend on it. Our bee pollen is gathered in patented stainless steel collectors from the blossoms. This ensures the freshest and most potent natural food. Forever Bee Pollen is all natural and contains no preservatives, artificial flavours or colourings. Bee pollen provides a wide spectrum of essential nutrients. Each is required to maintain perfect health. These include all vitamins of the B-complex and vitamin C. Since these are water soluble, they should be taken daily. Bee pollen also contains vitamins D, E, K, and beta-carotene (vitamin A). It is a rich source of numerous minerals, (with calcium and phosphorous in an almost perfect 1:1 ratio), enzymes and co-enzymes, plant-source fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and 22 amino acids – including all eight 'essential' amino acids which the body cannot manufacture for itself. Bee pollen contains more nutrients per calorie than any other nutritional supplement and so it is little wonder that it is cited as one of the most complete foods available. In fact, the human body could survive on bee pollen alone, with just the addition of fibre and water. – Net Weight 500mg (100 Tablets).

Got a great idea for your favorite business? A startup called 9th Dot has created an app where you can share that idea, with potential rewards if your idea actually gets used.
There are plenty of other options for businesses that want to collect customer suggestions. Many of them take the form of crowdsourced "idea" sites like My Starbucks Idea, where users can submit and vote on different ideas.
However, 9th Dot co-founder Jeff Spurlock suggested that those sites aren't very convenient for most consumers — you might have a great idea when you're in the store, then forget about it by the time you're back at your computer. And for most stores, you probably don't even know what the idea website is. Or you might get a feedback code or link, but who knows if you'll actually see and respond to it.
With 9th Dot, the goal was…

Feminist Perspectives on Eating Disorders
|The examples and perspective in this article may not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (September 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|The neutrality of this article is disputed. (October 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Feminist Perspectives on Eating Disorders is a book edited by Patricia Fallon and others in which feminists analyzed the impact of what they regard as sexist and oppressive of women on women's eating disorders.[1] Feminists do not necessarily believe that society is the sole cause of an eating disorder, but that societal influences definitely play a role in these addictions (the craving to control one's body and the euphoria established through weight loss or controlled food in-take) and that eating disorders thrive in this type of environment.
When World War I (as well as World War II) began, many women had to work out of the household because their husbands were fighting in the war and the family needed financial support. Many women took jobs that were deemed masculine, including the production of war supplies. In reaction to this advertisers began to heavily market their products to women, to make them feel more feminine while doing "a man's job"[citation needed]. The marketing industry boomed with the growth of advertising in magazines.
Until the 1920s women in America were kept "under wraps", wearing clothing that covered almost every inch of skin (other than hands and heads). After getting the vote women began to wear clothes that displayed their arms and legs, heightening the issues of body image. Women grew concerned about the appearance of their limbs and tried to keep them smooth and desirable. The ideal figure changed, and women were expected to be more slender[citation needed]. Inevitably, this is when the dieting craze began[citation needed]. The average woman in the West however, has become far larger, even as the ideal has remained for a slender figure, with obesity being as much 60 percent in many studies[citation needed].
From this point forward women in the media grew smaller and smaller[citation needed]. In 1965 Vogue introduced Twiggy, known for her large eyes, long eyelashes, and thin build. The media began to focus more on women's bodies and because there are few positive female role models in the media, women tried to imitate these figures.
With the average model weighing 23% less than the average woman, ideal body image becomes virtually impossible (Wolf, 184). At any given time 25% of American women are dieting (Wolf, 185). Between 5-10% of American women are anorexic (Brumberg, 20). Between 90-95% of anorexics and bulimics are women (Wolf, 181). On some college campuses 1 in 5 women have an eating disorder (Wolf, 182). It is also reported that 5 to 15% of hospitalized anorexics die while in treatment, one of the highest fatality rates for mental diseases (Brumberg, 24). These alarming statistics further prove that American culture affects eating disordered behavior and allows these behaviors to thrive.
Feminists want to take action against what they claim to be harmful images the media uses against its viewers. Few efforts have been made to reverse this possible epidemic as people tend to become desensitized to such images and may not recognize their possibly harmful potential. Recently, the cosmetic manufacturers of Dove have promoted their "Campaign for Real Beauty". This campaign uses many different body types to advertise their products, including overweight women, older women, and women with imperfections. Tyra Banks has also made efforts to expose the "less than ideal" body types. Banks has taken advantage of her fame to promote different body figures. The new talk show host has publicly defended her recent weight gain and attempts to deliver the message that being sexy has nothing to do with being thin or healthy.
Media has also been blamed for poor body image and eating disorders in women. Magazines, TV shows, and various other advertisements show thin models as having the "ideal body type" for women. Some scholars argue that these types of media items can enforce poor eating habits and eating disorder-like behavior. The other factor may be the growth of clinical obesity in the average woman, but the opposing direction being taken in the figures of media personalities.
However, other researchers have contested the claims of the media effects paradigm. An article by Christopher Ferguson, Benjamin Winegard, and Bo Winegard, for example, argues that peer effects are much more likely to cause body dissatisfaction than media effects, and that media effects have been overemphasized.[2] It also argues that one must be careful about making the leap from arguing that certain environmental conditions might cause body dissatisfaction to the claim that those conditions can cause diagnosable eating disorders, especially severe eating disorders like anorexia nervosa.
Main Types of Eating Disorders[edit]
Eating disorders describe illnesses that are characterized by irregular eating habits and severe distress or concern about body weight or shape. Eating disturbances may include inadequate or excessive food intake, which can ultimately damage an individual's well being. According to the American Psychological Association (APA), the most common forms of eating disorders include Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge-Eating Disorder, and these illnesses primarily affect girls and women (APA). People with anorexia nervosa have a "distorted body image" that causes them to see themselves as overweight even when they are dangerously thin (APA). Individuals often refuse to eat, exercise compulsively, and develop unusual habits such as refusing to eat in front of others. They lose large amounts of weight and may even starve to death (APA). People with anorexia feel they can never be thin enough and continue to see themselves as "fat" despite extreme weight loss. Additionally, individuals with bulimia nervosa eat excessive quantities, then "purge their bodies of the food and calories they fear by using laxatives, enemas, or diuretics; vomiting; or exercising" (APA). Often acting in secrecy, they feel disgusted and ashamed as they binge, yet relieved of tension and negative emotions once their stomachs are empty again (APA). Like people with bulimia, those with binge eating disorder experience "frequent episodes of out-of-control eating" (APA). The difference is that binge eaters do not purge their bodies of excess calories. Another category of eating disorders is "eating not otherwise specified" (EDNOS), in which individuals have eating-related problems, but do not meet the official criteria for anorexia, bulimia, or binge eating.
Signs and Symptoms[edit]
For some people, a preoccupation with food becomes a way to gain control over one aspect of their lives. Although it may start out as simply eating a bit more or less than usual, the behavior can spiral out of control and take over the person's life. Eating disorders are a serious medical problem that can have long-term health consequences if left untreated. It is common for people with eating disorders to hide their unhealthy behaviors, so it can be difficult to recognize the signs of an eating disorder, especially early on. According to WebMD, the signs of anorexia can be "subtle at first because it develops gradually" (WebMD). It may begin as an interest in dieting before an event like a school dance or a beach vacation, but as the disorder takes hold, "preoccupation with weight intensifies" (WebMD). It creates a vicious cycle: The more weight a person loses, the more than person worries and obsesses about weight. There are a numerous amount of signs and symptoms of anorexia, but some of them that are common in most people include: "dramatic weight loss, wearing loose, bulky clothes to hide weight loss, refusal to eat certain foods, such as carbs or fats, avoiding mealtimes or eating in front of others, making comments about being 'fat', exercising excessively, stopping menstruating, and complaining about constipation or stomach pain" (WebMD). People with anorexia are very good at hiding it; therefore, the disease can become severe before anyone around them notices anything wrong (WebMD). If left untreated, anorexia can lead to serious complications such as malnutrition and organ failure (WebMD).
Unlike anorexia, people with bulimia are often a normal weight, but they have the same "intense fear" of gaining weight and distorted body image (WebMD). They see themselves as "fat" and desperately want to lose weight. Because they often feel ashamed and disgusted with themselves, people with bulimia also become very good at hiding their bulimic behaviors. Much like the signs of anorexia, there are also many signs of bulimia. Some of them being: "Evidence of binge eating, including disappearance of large amounts of food in a short time, or finding lots of empty food wrappers or containers, evidence of purging, including trips to the bathroom after meals, sounds or smells of vomiting, or packages of laxatives or diuretics, skipping meals or avoiding eating in front of others, or eating very small portions, using gum, mouthwash, or mints excessively, constantly dieting, and scarred knuckles from repeatedly inducing vomiting" (WebMD). If left untreated, bulimia can result in long-term health problems such as "abnormal heart rhythms, bleeding from the esophagus due to excessive reflux of stomach acid, dental problems, and kidney problems" (WebMD).
Rather than simply eating too much all the time, people with binge eating disorder have frequent episodes where they binge on large quantities of food. Like people with bulimia, they often feel out of control during these episodes and later feel guilt and shame about it. The behavior becomes a vicious cycle because the more "distressed" they feel about bingeing, the more they seem to do it (WebMD). Because people with binge eating disorder do not purge, fast, or exercise after they binge, they are usually overweight or obese (WebMD). Some common signs of binge eating disorder include: "Hoarding food, or hiding large quantities of food in strange places, constantly dieting, but rarely losing weight, wearing baggy clothes to hide the body, and skipping meals or avoiding eating in front of others" (WebMD). Because binge eating leads to obesity, it can have serious health consequences if left untreated.
According to the National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA), "20 million women suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some time in their life, whether it is anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder" (NEDA). Ruth H. Striegel-Moore and Cynthia M. Bulik in their article, "Risk Factors for Eating Disorders", say that eating disorders rank among the "10 leading causes of disability among young women" (Striegel-Moore & Bulik 181). Anorexia nervosa has the "highest death rate of any psychiatric illness", including major depression (NEDA). It is estimated that "1-4% of women have suffered from anorexia nervosa in their lifetime" (NEDA). The mortality rate associated with anorexia nervosa is "12 times higher" than the death rate of all causes of death for females 15-24 years old (NEDA). Without treatment, up to "20% of people with serious eating disorders die" (NEDA).
Bulimia statistics tell us that the lifetime prevalence of bulimia nervosa in the United States is "1.5% in women, translating to approximately 4.7 million females who will have their lives threatened by this potentially deadly disorder" (NEDA). While bulimia occurs most commonly in the adolescent and young adult years, it has been diagnosed in patients as young as six years old. Further, binge eating disorder (BED) is actually the most common eating disorder in the United States. In fact, is more common than breast cancer, HIV, and schizophrenia (NEDA). BED affects an estimated "2.8 million people in the United States", according to a national survey done in 2008. Moreover, binge eating disorder also affects three times the number of people diagnosed with anorexia and bulimia combined.
Adolescence is a complex stage of development in which a number of physical changes and psychosocial challenges converge. The demands of meeting the "tasks" of adolescence can be very difficult for many individuals and can very well have a significant impact on confidence and self-esteem. Those who struggle to meet the challenges may feel a sense of being out of control. Furthermore, in a society that continues to prize thinness even as Americans become heavier than ever before, almost everyone worries about their weight, at least occasionally. People with eating disorders take such concerns to extremes, developing abnormal eating habits that threaten their well-being and even their lives. What needs to be understood is that eating disorders are complex conditions that can arise from a combination of long-standing behavioral, biological, emotional, psychological, interpersonal, and social factors. Once started, however, they can create a self-perpetuating cycle of physical and emotional destruction.
Additionally, eating disorders are also highly related to significant comorbidity, functional impairment, suicidality, and health service usage. Given the young age of the onset, early intervention and prevention is crucial. A question often asked in relation to eating disorders is: Does treatment really work? In reference to the American Psychological Association, most cases of eating disorders can be treated successfully by "appropriately trained health and mental care professionals" (APA). However, treatments do not work instantly. For many patients, treatment may need to be long-term depending on the severity of their disorder. Most importantly, the sooner treatment starts, the better. The longer abnormal eating patterns continue, the more deeply ingrained they become and the more difficult they are to treat. While eating disorders can severely impair people's functioning and health, the prospects for long-term recovery are good for most people who seek help from appropriate professionals, like qualified therapists/licensed psychologists with experience in the area (APA). They can help those who suffer from eating disorders regain control of their eating behaviors and their lives. Furthermore, recognizing the signs and symptoms of an eating disorder is the first step toward getting help for it. Eating disorders are treatable, and with the right treatment and support, most people with an eating disorder can learn healthy eating habits and get their lives back on track.

Marlborough Boys' College are still favourites to win the Marlborough Volleyball Club's Fairweathers Senior Summer League president's grade following two wins in the sixth and penultimate round at Marlborough Lines Stadium on Thursday night.
In the first game of their double-header, competition-leaders MBC came up against Kinoaths. MBC established the early lead, but Kinoaths came back strongly and forged ahead by four points. The schoolboy side were not about to give the set away, though, and dug deep to take first blood 25-19.
Good defensive play and some long rallies marked the second set and, again, MBC just had the edge as they sealed a 25-22 win. Still motivated to gain something for their efforts, Kinoaths reversed the second-set result to claim a well-deserved consolation point.
Treefellas were MBC's opposition in the second president's grade match of the night and MBC were largely in control throughout. They played with good pace on attack and held a strong defensive line to collect a 3-0 (25-20, 25-11, 25-18) win.
Meanwhile, in the C grade, Smashed 'Em Bro produced a top team effort to beat Safe Crackers 2-1 in the game of the night. Jeff Spurlock played a key role for the winning side, while captain Debbie Kidd led from the front for Safe Crackers.
MBC Junior A had a positive result in their final warmup for the South Island Junior Secondary Schools Championships in Blenheim this week, downing Westmeat Geriatrics 2-1. Impressive jump serves from Hayden Shaw were a feature of the MBC performance, with Toby Hogg and Harrison Kilgour producing good all-round efforts.
In other C-grade matches, Desperate Housewives scored a 3-0 win over Wolf Pack and Fresh beat MIA 2-1.
Results from Thursday:
President's grade: MBC beat Kinoaths 2-1, MBC beat Treefellas 3-0.
C grade: MBC Junior A beat Westmeat Geriatrics 2-1, Smashed 'Em Bro beat Safe Crackers 2-1, Desperate Housewives beat Wolf Pack 3-0, Fresh beat MIA 2-1.

Album: Kendrick Lamar ŌĆō "[Untitled]"
In the midst of all the Friday night craziness, Kendrick Lamar announced his highly-anticipated third studio album, [Untitled].
The album, which is slated to land March 23, is available for pre-order on iTunes right now, with a rather interesting choice for an artwork (look to the right).
[Untitled] will feature "The Blacker the Berry," the racially-charged song which Lamar released on Feb. 9, 2015.
Every other song on the iTunes track list is named "Track #" but we can confirm the album has 16 songs, one of which is most likely the grammy-winning track, "i."

Badly worded on my part , What i meant was can anyone suggest a rolling release that can be converted to a Livedisk with refracta?
I know people love point release for stability but apart from the fact i'm always pushed for time it also annoys the crap out of me having to reinstall linux distribution every few months.
The closest i've come so far since yesterday is PClinuxOS , It's derived from Mandrake so it doesn't have SystemD and apparently you install it once and all updates and changes are delivered via patches of the latest stable releases rather than development releases.
Like Refracta you can install it to hardrive to customise your desktop and then convert it to a Livedisk ISO with their application mylivecd
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/ ... 4.rpm.html
I have no idea how well it works as i've only just been reading about it and have yet to try it but i thought i'd post that link to the script in case it's of any interest to you too see if any parts of the script can be used for refracta as their version can exceed the 4 gig ISO limit.

Kentucky Cross Country Set for Southeast Regional Championships
NCAA Southeast Regional Championships
Date & Time
Friday, Nov. 11 | Women: 11 a.m. | Men: Noon
Earlysville, Va. | Panorama Farms
Additional Information
Meet Central
6K Course Map (Women) | 10K Course Map (Men)
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – NCAA Championship spots will be on the line when the Kentucky cross country teams contest the Southeast Regional Meet at the University of Virginia's Panorama Farms course, Friday.
The women's 6,000-meter race will start at 11 a.m. ET. The men's 10k is set to begin at noon.
FlashResults.com will handle timing.
Meet format
The name of Friday's game will be qualifying for the NCAA Championships, to be run on Saturday, Nov. 19 in Terre Haute, Indiana.
The top-2 teams at each regional championship punch an automatic bid to NCAAs.
In addition to the 18 automatic bids coming from the nine regional meets to be held around the nation on Friday, another 13 at-large bids will be extended Saturday based on 2016 competition résumés – based largely on head-to-head.
The top-four individual regional finishers not on advancing teams automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships. Individual at-large bids can also be extended. Those at-large bids will be announced with the full NCAA Championships field on Saturday.
The southeast region includes all Division I universities in Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
The host Virginia men's team is the highest-ranked team in the USTFCCCA national rankings at No. 16. NC State is ranked No. 27, while Virginia Tech and Kentucky received votes.
On the women's side, NC State is the lone region team ranked in the national poll at No. 2, while William and Mary was the only other school to receive votes.
Kentucky within the southeast region
Kentucky's women's team is ranked No. 3 in the southeast region.
Kentucky's men's team as aforementioned is receiving votes in this week's USTFCCCA national coaches' poll. The Wildcats are ranked No. 4 in the southeast.
USTFCCCA Regional Cross Country Rankings are determined subjectively by a single member coach in each respective region. The regional representative is tasked with weighing returning teams strength with current season results (if applicable) in determining predicted team finishes at the NCAA Regional Championships.
Each team's first five finishers place counts toward team score. The next two runners may displace runners from opposing teams. First place is worth one point, second place two points, etc. Low score wins.
Jacob Thomson led Kentucky to a ninth place (224 points) finish at the NCAA Southeast Regional last year. Thomson finished 10th individually, and earned Kentucky's first men's individual at-large bid to NCAAs since 2012.
Katy Kunc led the way for the UK women's team, which finished 11th with 304 points at 2015 regionals.
UK has not qualified for the NCAA Championships as a team since the women's squad did so in 2008. The Kentucky men's team last made NCAAs in 2003 – placing 28th with 642 points.
Cally Macumber was the last UK women's team member to earn an automatic individual bid in 2013.
Wildcats to watch
The objective Friday will be getting five, really seven, Wildcats across the finish line as fast as possible. Simple enough.
For the UK men's team Thomson appears poised to lead the way for UK's men's team. He placed 10th at this meet a year ago, and will be buoyed by a second-straight All-SEC performance at the Conference Championships, two weeks ago.
He was also named Southeastern Conference Cross Country Cross Country Athlete of the Year, Tuesday.
Mick Iacofano is coming off one of the best runs of his life, as he helped the UK men's team place third overall at SECs – the team's best finish at that meet since 1992. Ben Young, Kendall Muhammad and Daniel Southard also contributed to the UK team score at SECs, while Matthew Thomas and Brennan Fields earned SEC All-Freshman team honors.
For the UK women's team Kunc earned the result of her life, to date – the SEC Bronze Medal – two weeks ago.
Caroline McCaslin placed in the top-25 at SECs, while Amy Hansen and Avery Bussjager placed in the top-50.

We are a dynamic and forward-thinking organisation, within the region of 10,800 individual members. We are striving to build on our past success by expanding our participation base into new markets as well as developing our athletes to compete at the highest level in international competitions.
In 2016 we finalised a new strategic plan for the development of Orienteering up to 2025.
To ensure that the strategic leadership of British Orienteering is equipped to meet the new challenges the composition of the Board was, in 2014 changed to be composed of six member-elected directors and three non-executive Independent Directors plus the Chief Executive Officer. We are now seeking to appoint an exceptional candidate to fill one Independent Director vacancy. This is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the implementation of the strategy for the development of orienteering in the UK at a key time in the history of the sport.
We are looking for experience in one or more of the following areas:
No prior experience of orienteering is required, although knowledge or experience of the sports or outdoor activity sectors would be an advantage.
We currently hold four full-day face-to-face Board meetings per year at the British Orienteering national office in Matlock, Derbyshire. Occasionally, where required, Board teleconferences take place in between these meetings. The Independent Director roles are voluntary and unpaid, although all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be refunded.
The appointee will serve an initial term of office of two years until Easter 2019. The appointment is potentially renewable for two further periods each of three years.
British Orienteering is an equal opportunities employer, and applications are welcome from all suitably qualified individuals. We are particularly interested in achieving gender parity and greater diversity generally on our Board. We, therefore, welcome applications from individuals who can help us achieve this.
As these appointments are for Independent Directors, candidates must not have been employed by British Orienteering, been Directors of British Orienteering, or have been involved in any national-level committee or group of British Orienteering in the ten years prior to their application.
Individuals wishing to discuss the roles further prior to application can contact the current Chair of British Orienteering, Judith Holt at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To obtain an application pack, please contact email@example.com. Applications must be returned to email@example.com before Monday 24th July 2017. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interviews, which will take place as soon as possible after the closing date.
On Wednesday May 24th 2017, the second World Orienteering Day took place all over the world. It has proved an even greater success than last year, with over 288, 000 participants all around the world taking part in an orienteering event. This is a new record, with 35, 000 more participants than last year.
In the end, 288, 007 participants at 2265 locations in 79 countries have been part of something bigger, World Orienteering Day. Turkey is showing a fantastic result and has increased the number of participants with more than 75% compared to last year. As a final result, Turkey registered 86 436 WOD participants. Amazing!
From Antarctica to Greenland, from Singapore to Cameroun, from Ecuador to Kosovo, from Indonesia to Cyprus, hundreds of thousands of youngsters participated in World Orienteering Day. Following the idea "Be part of something bigger-Colour the World", people all over the world took part in locally organised orienteering events, and celebrated the biggest world-wide orienteering event ever. World Orienteering Day is a very important tool to attract young people to the sport of orienteering, and it has been a success even in many countries where orienteering is not so well-known.
Hard work paid off
"Trying to repeat and surpass a successful first event is always daunting, as was the prospect of World Orienteering Day 2017. A lot of hard work has gone into building on last year's achievement, and I am very happy to see that it has paid off. World Orienteering Day would not be possible without the initiative and dedication that can be found in the orienteering community, so I want to say a great thank you to everyone who organised a WOD event, as well as to our generous sponsors who helped make the event possible for many of us. I hope you all had a great day of celebration of our sport and congratulations on beating the World Record together!" says Leho Haldna, the President of International Orienteering Federation (IOF).
There are many great examples from a lot of countries with increasing participants compared to last year. Amongst them were Serbia and the young IOF member Egypt, who did fantastic work with WOD this year and increased their number of participants by 103% and 43% respectively. This is a remarkable improvement! The largest WOD event was implemented at Hunan University in the city of Changsha in China with 3160 participants and the smallest one was carried out in an apartment in USA. This is orienteering; you can do it everywhere and anytime!
Reaching new territories
We also have to welcome new countries and territories as Cambodia, Lebanon, Philippines, Kosovo, Isle of Man, Malaysia, Costa Rica, Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia, Mauritius, Luxembourg and Antarctica. Without World Orienteering Day it has been quite difficult to get all these countries involved in orienteering.
"The global reach of the World Orienteering Day project made it clear already last year that it is an important way to spread orienteering, especially to young people. This is particularly important as it is in line with the key objective of the IOC Olympic Agenda 2020: engaging youth through sport. It has been inspiring to follow the many events on the WOD website and to see the wide spread of events. I am already looking forward to next year's event", Leho Haldna concludes.

"I am a busy Mum with two boys aged 9 and 6 years old. We live in Sheffield and are members of South Yorkshire Orienteers.
Both boys regularly compete and take part in coaching sessions run by South Yorkshire Orienteers.
Pre children I used to go to the gym at least twice a week and occasionally played badminton with friends. Having children has changed my participation in sport. I no longer have the time or the finances to pay for the gym on the ad hoc basis that it would happen. I do enjoy exercising but it never is a top priority as a result of work and family life.
I discovered the sport of orienteering when I attended a small school in West Cumbria who had a teacher who regularly competed so I started at the aged 10. My first orienteering experiences were when the school teacher would take small groups of us to the local permanent orienteering courses at Whinlatter, Grizedale and Ennerdale and coach us. Those of us who were enthusiastic would then take part in the Cumbrian Gallopen and local club events run by West Cumberland Orienteering Club, Lakeland Orienteering Club and Border Liners orienteering Club.
We would go out in pairs and on our own, it was always an adventure and gave us all a great sense of freedom and independence. We competed in the Cumbrian Schools Championships and as a very small school had a lot of success in a 5 year period.
I gave up orienteering at 13 years old as my next school did not participate and my parents were less willing to drive around Cumbria to take me to events, instead I played Hockey and went fell walking.
In 2014, I then took the boys to the Longshaw Estate National Trust; Derwent Valley Orienteers were running a 'come and try it' event in the summer holidays. The boys were 6 and 3 at the time and we toddled round the course they seemed to enjoy it. From that event we then went to the South Yorkshire Orienteering Schools league event and then the Midlands Championships also at Longshaw. By the Christmas my eldest and I were members of South Yorkshire Orienteering Club.
It gets us out and about; we head out orienteering whatever the weather and in the boy's case the muddier it is the more fun it is. I am exercising without paying attention to the miles I have done or how fast I have done it's just the challenge and enjoyment of getting round the course. It also helps clear the mind and most of the time you are in new areas you have never been to before and would like to explore again. I am unlikely to come first, as I did as a child, but completing the course successfully with few errors and not being the last is my motivation.
The Jan Kjellstrom International Festival of Orienteering is held in different parts of the UK each year. I have participated in the event at Ulpha Fell in the Lake District. I was trying to keep an eye on my son. I lost him at one point as he is far faster at running than I am but I found him eventually! I got round at the Northern Championships this year and I competed in the British Long Championships in May this year. All of which I have the mantra just to get round and complete the course.
I love this sport for the challenge, I am not a natural runner at all, but that doesn't matter. The art of reading a map is easily learned at a local club. You really don't need to do the most technical courses to be successful. Getting out in the countryside be it open fell, woodland, moor or parklands makes you feel so much more happier and stress free. Plus it is a family friendly activity that you can all do your course and escape life's pressures."

"Two of my children orienteer. Although I did a variety of sports when I was younger, once I started working I didn't do any regular sport. I was very busy looking after my young children and didn't do any sport.
I enjoy exercise provided I don't realise that I'm doing it!
My son had been introduced to an orienteering taster session at school and then encouraged me and my daughter to go along to some after-school sessions run by South Yorkshire Orienteers. I only went because I had to accompany my son and it was a flat fee per family.
I only started orienteering myself because I had to accompany my son and daughter to events and got bored standing on the side lines. I don't specifically remember the first experience. However I do recall mud and bogs and realising that white trainers weren't useful! Proper sturdy shoes with grip were needed.
I have now been orienteering for 6 years and I am a member of South Yorkshire Orienteers.
The benefits I feel I have found from taking up orienteering is that I actually 'run'. I love going out on my own in unknown terrain and finding my way back to the finish.
I still feel nervous at the start of a big race - despite the fact that I'm never going to do that well, so on the face of it there's nothing to lose. But in a way, the adrenaline rush is all part of it. When I am orienteering I feel fantastic! There's nothing else which would induce me to set off for 5km and slog over physical terrain and I love the mental challenge.
I've already become an orienteering coach and have great satisfaction in seeing improvement in young teenage girls and boys.
I have now competed in various regional or national British Orienteering Major Events, such as the Jan Kjellstrom International Festival of Orienteering and the British Champions. I have also taken part in the British Nights and have enjoyed orienteering in the dark with a head torch! I didn't do that well, but happy with my results, although there is plenty of room for improvement.
The fantastic thing about orienteering is that it truly is a 'mind and body workout'. So, you don't have to be the fastest, but you have to think. It's great to get a bit of time entirely to yourself, and just challenge yourself. Even if you are the last in the race, if it's an improvement on the previous race, then that is success. In orienteering you can set your own challenge."

British Orienteering is celebrating its Golden Jubilee this year, 50 years as a Federation!
With the 50 year celebrations underway it is certainly a good time to take a closer look at the sport of orienteering. Most orienteering takes place in forests or moorland often in stunning scenery. However there are now several city-based orienteering courses too. There are many permanent orienteering courses installed around the country and local orienteering clubs across the UK.
Find out ways in which you can enjoy this sport and go orienteering here.

Everyone's quality of life depends on the kind of world we create for each other and ourselves. Behavior analysts are intensely concerned with researching how our surroundings and personal histories determine who we become so that we can help others to healthier, happier lives. Behavior analysis converts our curiosity about we do what we do, into procedures for improving the human condition.
So what has behavior analysis done for me lately?
Here's just a small sample of what behavior analysts have been up to (I apologize in advance for the the 1000s of examples that were omitted because the space here was severely limited):
- Improving education. Many of our best instructional procedures and positive classroom management tactics were initiated by behavior analysts.
- Healthcare. Programs for dealing with eating disorders, high blood pressure, ulcers, and many, many more disorders that now yield to behavior analytic techniques but previously required medication. On the preventative side, there are programs to improve compliance with exercise programs, improve eating habits, reduce smoking, and so much more a subspecialties have arisen.
- Parenting. Parenting skills from handling recalcitrant children to toilet training have been addressed.
- Safety. Improving safety ranges from increasing seat belt usage to programs that encourage safe practices on worksites.
- Autism. For the first time, parents of children who are autistic have effective procedures for meeting the challenges that disability presents.
- Students with disbailities. Children with attention deficit disorders, hyperactivity, mental retardation, learning disabilities, emotional disturbance, and many other challenges, have found behavior analysis to be the only procedures that bring substantive improvement.
- Clinical psychology. Many of debilitating personal problems bring people to counseling have been successfully addressed by behavior analysis: excessive and irrational fear and anxiety, marriage problems, alcoholism and drug addiction, obsessive-compulsive behavior, and many more.
- Sports. Coaching skills and effective training procedures have been developed.
- Achieving our highest potential. Self-management programs have been a focus of behavior analysis for decades.
- Business and organizations. Human resources personnel and those responsible for managing employees in business settings have benefited from behavior analysis' effective and positive approaches.
- Given all of us reason to optimistic. Behavior analysts have repeatedly shown that incredibly complex behavior such as making better choices, learning and using language, and insight and creativity can not only be studied, but taught.

If you've frequented the art scene recently you'll have met any number of works whose purpose seems to be to disgust, offend, shock, trouble or somehow get the goat of their audience. Leading exhibits might include Andres Serrano's Piss Christ, a crucifix immersed in the artist's urine; Robert Mapplethorpe's self-portrait inserting a bull-whip into his anus; Marcus Harvey's giant portrait of Myra Hindley made of children's hand-prints; the Chapman brothers' Hell, a death-camp phantasmagoria; Gilbert and George's Naked Shit Pictures - the list could go on and on.
Anthony Julius, lawyer and author, has noticed these things, too, and being vaguely irked by them he decided to investigate. Trangressions: The Offences of Art is an analysis plus a short history (starting with Manet's Olympia, on through Surrealism, to now) of the modern goat-getting artwork.
The title is a piece of contemporary culture-speak. "Trangressive" means something like "rude - but in a heroic and salutory way". The trangressive work pushes boundaries, challenges inhibitions, attacks norms and confronts taboos. It's not just caustic and upsetting, it's radical and emancipatory.
Julius's main enquiry concerns whether, in particular cases, this is, in fact, the case - or whether the work is merely revelling in its ability to put its finger on a painful spot. And then he asks if the whole emancipation thing is such a good idea anyway.
He speaks eloquently against the way the word "taboo" can be applied to any human norm to suggest, without further argument, "a rule that ought to be broken just because it is a rule". He concludes that much contemporary art has got itself stuck in a cult of empty negation and should get itself unstuck. "The transgressive inhibits; it represents a boundary that today's artists must transgress."
Julius brings clear-mindedness and good sense to controversies where evasion and stupidity are normal. But his approach is perhaps too reasonable for the subject in hand. He tends to judge artworks according to whether their intentions are constructive, which leads to some rather bizarre preferences, and reflects a more general froideur.
Julius has done his homework. His text is studded with citations to prove it. When there's an issue of principle to be discussed, he discusses it trenchantly. He is broadly in favour of art. But he has'nt much feel for it. When he approves, it is without enthusiasm.
What's more, Julius seriously mistakes the relationship between the offensive artwork and its audience in assuming that the audience's sensibilities are simply being attacked. It is a more complicated, therefore more intractable, business.
Of course, when faced with an image of the Virgin Mary morphing into a pile of suppurating rats, many people are straightfowardly offended and disgusted, and that's crucial, but these people are not the ideal audience for such works (because, of course, they sooner or later just turn away in disgust).
Nor does the ideal audience consist of people who are quite untroubled ( because they would not be very impressed either). No, the ideal audience is somewhere in the middle - people who find the work daring, whose response is troubled but excited by the moral brinkmanship involved. And what lies on the other side of the brink isn't really their concern. It's not that they look forward to a life of blood orgies, turd-eating and freeform genetic mutation.
The trembling brink is where their perspective and their pleasure stops. You can call this attitude irresponsible, you can call it pointless, you can call it smug. It often involves a sense of superior cool on the part of artist and audience, which is annoying.
On the other hand, if you think of black humour, bad taste, horror shows, gross-out and blasphemy, then this brinkmanship can seem a very standard kind of behaviour. I agree that when this posture becomes an artistic idee fixe, the results are going to be increasingly paltry.
Still, it's important to remember that art is just one more averagely disreputable human activity, capable of amazing things from time to time, but where the usual rubbish is always to be expected.

Have you ever dealt with a client that kept tacking on new tasks and features to their project? First they want a logo, then some business cards, and then all new stationary. You said, "Okay, I can add on a couple of things—No problem." But, by the end you realized you really should have charged more for all that extra work. If you've experienced a similar scenario then you were a victim of scope creep.
It can happen to anyone, even those that have been freelancing for years. Everything is down in writing and both you and the client understand the scope of the project. However, somewhere down the road everything about the project is changing and you're left wondering how things got to where they are. [Read more…]

Hal Rubenstein The "Jennifer" Fitted Dress
Great Dress
Love this dress and it is a great fit. Glad I purchased it on clearance because I am very happy with my product and would recommend. It just fits so well and the material is very good for winter or fall.ChiTown457, TN
Great Dress
Love this dress, especially at the sale price. Fits great and make me look slimmer. What more could you want from a dress.Mariea11en, CA
Great dress!
I wish this dress came in other colors, the fit and the fabric are great. I am a curvy xl and ordered my regular size and it was perfect. The neckline is flattering and not too low, nice length, soft and very comfortable material. Nice change from the simple LBD.dunkirk, NY
Great quality
It's thick and lined!! Very nicely made!! I'm tall and I wear size 16/18 so I purchased the XL and it fits perfectly!!ReeseD, GA
Nice fit
Fabric heavy weight but nice. Fit well. Maybe runs a bit big well worth sale priceRNPHILIPS, OH
I wear between an 8 and 10. I ordered the medium and it fit perfectly. The length is perfect too. Not to short or long. I also like that it has stretch for more comfort. I am one who usually don't wear dresses but gave it a try. So glad I did. My husband said I look sexy and can't wait to take me out. Highly recommend this dress.djr155, WAWas this review helpful? Yes (1) No (0) Report if inappropriate
Very nice cut and fit. Slight stretch gives some forgiveness without looking fuddy-duddy like so many stretchy garments. Versatile - can be worn in boardroom with a jacket or a business meeting or on colder days with a lightweight turtleneck or man-tailored cotton shirt underneath - or more casual. Also can easily cross 3 seasons in the northeast. Would like to see Hal come back with this style a deep navy next year. Pleased.Mirelo, CT
A real keeper
Oh this dress just melted to my curves. Every where I walked, got attention. I looked just like the model in the picture who has it on. Please make this dress on another color. Had to buy shoes too. Loved the look. Hubby never left my side.slotgirl1, MI
perfect fitted dress
I'm a fan of Hal Rubenstein's line, it just fits me well. This dress will get a lot of use under jackets and sweaters. I like the fitted dresses they make me look thinner than a straight dress that does not show your curves. The neckline is very becoming the V is deep but not so deep that you cannot wear to work. Great dress - please make more!Mary335, NJ
Very Comfortable
Great simple dress with classic styling that you can dress up and make it your own. I plan to wear my obi belt with it. The fabric is very comfortable and the dress has a great stretch to it. I am pear shape with 48 inch hips and I was able to order a large and it fit perfectly. You can probably size down depending on how you want it to fit,DW2GOOD, GAWas this review helpful?

I jumped over the wall with ease, thankful I wasn't in a dress of any kind. I was just wearing a formfitting long sleeve and black pants with black combat boots to match. I scanned the area easily thanks to my natural night vision, feathers floating down around me.
I carefully snuck closer to the house, alert for anything that might be guarding the place. I had heard so many rumors after I had accepted the job, or more like had been hired off for it. I never really got a choice. They mainly said to stay away from the butler. Apparently, he was some sort of highly trained guard dog for this earl I was supposed to take care of.
I froze halfway across the yard as I felt something massive breathing down my neck. I slowly turned around and clamped a hand over my mouth to resist screaming or muffle any screams I might emit. Honestly, I was startled.
It was a massive, wolf-looking dog. It had white fur and its eyes were a piercing red. The beast was taller than me and its fangs were bared and in my face, which I think were larger than my head. I took cautious steps back, but it followed. I tried to control my rising fear, dogs and I only mix when we meet on equal ground. Nothing in the job description said anything about a massive dog, and I certainly didn't see him when I did a perimeter check this morning.
I did the only sensible thing someone in my position would do. I turned on my heel and ran straight for a tree nearby. Thanks to adrenaline and a little extra help, I was able to jump up to a high branch and perch at the uppermost branch of the tree that would support my weight, but unfortunately for me, the stupid mutt jumped straight onto the tree after that.
I was so startled, I forgot to move out of his way and ended up nearly crying out when the thing breathed fire at me. Unfortunately, the tree didn't support both of us in it and it crashed towards the floor. I hit the ground hard with an undignified yelp, feeling the familiar softness under my back disappearing. The dog hovered over me growling as I reached to the back of my head and gently rubbed the sore area, apparently I'd hit it hard. Ignoring the mutt in favor of trying to sit up and pulling my hand in front of my face I took on a look of horror. My once black and satin glove was now soaked and dyed a darkish color that I could assume had I worn white gloves would have been red. My vision became fuzzy, a sign that I really messed up my head, before I let myself fall back into the grass.
I should be running, getting out of the area while I still had the chance, but I couldn't move. It made me wonder just what the ground her was made of as I heard a door click open. All I saw were garnet red eyes before my world went black.
-Sebastian's POV-
Pluto was barking at something in the front lawn as I patrolled through the halls of the manor, not really having much to do at the moment. I was about to shout to quiet him down when my young master called for me. Naturally, he was more important that the dog, so I went him first, knocking on the door before entering.
"Yes, my lord?" I asked as I entered with my candelabrum. "Why are you up at such a late hour?"
"What is all the fuss about? Pluto sounds like he's gone mad." My master complained, yawning and rubbing his eyes. He ignored my question as per usual when he was irritated and tired.
"I was about to go check on that when you called me. I will be right back." I explained, hearing a tree fall followed by some sort of squeak or yelp? Either way, it wasn't the dog and trees didn't squeak last time I checked.
"Whatever it is, go figure it out and keep quiet about it. I'm trying to sleep." Ciel barked, obviously more irritated at the tree falling, yet he had jumped slightly in surprise.
"I'll return shortly with some warm milk then after making sure all is well." I bowed and left calmly, only breaking into a run once the door was shut. I was eager to see what was causing such a disturbance during the usually boring and peaceful night.
Upon reaching the doors and scanning the outside lawn, I saw a girl sitting up slightly in the grass a little bit away from a burning and toppled tree with Pluto standing on it and over her. The demon hound was growling at the girl as I saw her reach her hand in front of her face and obtain an expression of confusion and possibly annoyance before she fell back into the grass.
I stepped up to her side, only slightly concerned at the strong scent of blood. Her eyes were just sliding closed as I leaned over her. Around her, a few black and white feathers littered the ground. It was a strange sight, but I assumed they were just from a bird that didn't make it from Pluto toppling the tree.
"Pluto, who is she?" I asked the demon hound, not expecting an answer as I lifted her head and felt blood stain my glove. Upon further inspection, I found she had fallen right onto a misplaced rock that was just large enough to actually do damage. I was amazed at her luck…or more lack of it.
I lifted her in my arms and was surprised at how heavy she actually was. It was easy to feel the hidden blades and guns in her clothing, yet she hadn't looked like she'd had any on her at first glance. I carried her inside and straight to the bathroom, figuring that assassin or not, she was alive and had been hurt on Phantomhive property without posing a threat yet. It was all too easy to ignore the sleepy servants as they followed and asked questions that went unanswered.
I sat her on a stool and propped her up against a wall while I got a towel and soaked it in some water, before cleaning the wound on her head. I was just finishing when my young master entered, looking rather annoyed and tired. It was actually rather endearing how his messy hair stuck out in random spots and his hand covered by an overly long sleeve reached up to rub one of his sapphire orbs.
"Who is she? All the three out there keep telling me is that you came in with her and wouldn't say a word to them." He griped, yawning.
"I'm not sure who she is. She passed out before I was able to reach her, though her luck is incredible...or more likely rather absent in her life. She managed to hit her head on the only misplaced rock in the property that was large enough to actually hurt someone." I explained as I started to pat her down, making sure to check certain areas.
"S-Sebastian what are you doing?!" My master asked in shock, obviously uncomfortable with patting down an unconscious woman wearing pants and a formfitting shirt. I was surprised he hadn't mentioned any of that yet.
"Just patting her down in case she has any weapons on her, young master. She was sent to kill you after all." I answered dutifully, pulling two half swords from her waist, one didn't have a hilt.
"Like she'd have succeeded…" He huffed, crossing his arms.
As I continued down, I pulled out two small switch blades, duel pistols, and a large sniper riffle from her pants and boots. She had more ammunition than Mei-Rin and Bard combined hidden in various places throughout her seemingly slim outfit. The final thing I pulled off her was a golden locket that was clasped around her neck.
I looked up at my master. His expression was priceless. It was some mixture of tiredness, shock, and confusion.
"How did she fit all that in her clothes?" Ciel asked in disbelief, drawing a snicker from my lips. Honestly, out of all of the questions I expected, that wasn't on my list.
"She's a woman. They can hide many things in their clothing and still make it seem as if they're completely harmless." I told him simply, having no actual reason or answer.
"…I give up. Get her cleaned up and put her in a guest room. I'd like to ask her some questions when she comes to. For now, I'm going back to my room." He yawned and left the room, not saying another word at all.
"Well miss please forgive me," I sighed as I started a bath and tied a blindfold over my eyes.
-Assassin's POV-
Everything around me smelled so sweet. I was warm, and someone's hands were massaging my head, which slightly ached and stung for reasons unknown to me. My head was heavy, like when my hair was soaked and I registered I was laying down, but unsure of where.
I couldn't help but let out a groan and shift slightly as I tried to open my eyes. The light in the room was far too bright for me at the moment. On top of that, I was still so tired. I wanted nothing more than a cup of hot chocolate and a warm couch to curl up on for the rest of the night.
"Ah, I see you're awake," A voice, smooth as velvet, made me open my eyes despite the light.
Letting out a small gasp and moving an arm up to shield my eyes a little, I discovered two things. First, I was completely naked in a tub far more expensive than any I'd seen before and second, there was another person in the room. Washing my hair. To add to my distress, this person just so happened to be male. To say the least, I screamed and pulled away from the hands in shock, bringing my arms up to cover my self. Normally I'd try to kill the pervert, but movements and body functions were against me.
"Please, calm yourself," The same voice ordered from behind me seeing as I refused to face him.
To bad I couldn't answer him or find the strength to bash his head in with something hard. My sudden movements had made my head spin and now consciousness was flying away from me like a dove. I reached my hand out as if I could grab it only to fall back into the tub water, not even touching the dove and falling back into the comforting blackness as I felt the owner of the voice's hands grab my shoulder's and begin to pull me out of the water I had fallen into. What a rough day.
-Sebastian's POV-
I watched her faint and leave consciousness about as fast as she had jumped away from me. She reached her hand out in front of her as if she could grab onto something, but soon fell back into the tub without hurting herself as far as I knew. However, since she was unconscious, I had to reach down and grab her out myself before she drowned down there. I was honestly beginning to believe whoever hired her was drunk. How could someone so klutzy be an assassin?
Once I had finished, I carried her out and sat her back down on the stool, drying her expertly. I wrapped her head in the proper bandages after finishing with drying her hair that seemed to want to cling to every drop of water with no intentions of ever letting go. It was rather frustrating. After draining the water from the tub, I put her in a robe and started to carry her to one of the guest rooms, as my master had ordered. Of course, I had three tails that decided to follow me.
"Well ain't she a pretty thing," Bard commented, making it obvious he and the other three hadn't heard what had transpired between Ciel and I about her reason for being here so late at night.
"Looks a little troubled in her sleep, she does," Mei-Rin sighed.
"I think she looks like a flower," Finny said, as airy as ever.
I shook my head, rather annoyed at their usual, nosy antics. I would tell them that she was supposed to be an assassin, but that wouldn't be any fun for me, now would it? I would let them fawn over her for awhile. Maybe that way they wouldn't ask any more questions.
"Mei-Rin, could you open the door for me?" I asked as we reached the guest room.
"Of course Sebastian, sir!" Mei-Rin said as she promptly stepped past me to open the door and step aside once more.
I put her on a chair by the bed and went about preparing the room. It would have gone by faster in the other three had left, but alas they were thick-skulled and stayed, talking amongst themselves about her. This only proved to annoy me further.
"Oi, what happened to her head Sebastian?" Bard asked as I was finishing the bed.
"She fell and landed on the only lone stone in the lawn," I responded narrowing my eyes at Finnian.
"Oh, the poor dear," Mei-Rin pouted a bit.
"Alright, all three of you, out," I commanded, gesturing for them to leave. It was already bad enough I had to deal with them during the day, I wasn't about to deal with them any longer tonight.
"Yes Sebastian!" They all saluted to me before running out, closing the door.
I sighed at the unconscious girl, blindfolding myself again and slipping her into a nightgown that I had found in the wardrobe. Thankfully, for the most part, it fit. I laid her in the bed and pulled the covers to her chin, much like I would for my young master. It was amusing to watch her sigh and snuggle deeper into the blankets, as if completely unaware of what had happened tonight. I doubt she'd remember in the morning. I left as soon as I thought she'd settled and went straight to my master's room to check on him.
Lunara: Ok, this was done without a beta so I hope there aren't too many mistakes. ^^; First time writing in First Person Point of View for a fanfiction. Please notify me if anything stands out that doesn't quite make sense. Thanks for reading.
EDIT: I'm going through and rewriting all the chapters and editing them to my preferences. This was the first. I'll be going through all of them and will PM all followers and favoriters to when I'm finished making the changes so they don't get so lost when a new chapter shows up and it's not lining up with what you've read before. Thank you for your patience and I hope you enjoy the current version while it lasts and the new one when I'm done with it!

Ktm Aera 29 Comp 29Er Mountain Bike – 2015
KTM Aera 29 Comp 29er Mountain Bike – 2015. KTM isn't a brand you hear about too often on this side of the Atlantic. But the Austrian company is one of those hidden gems that occasionally emerges out of Europe to remind you why they continue to be the center of cycling. Originally (and still) a maker of high end motorsports bikes, KTM has brought its engineering prowess to bear on some of the most advanced mountain and road bikes around. Tested in the Austrian Alps, proven in racing, and ready to take your performance to the next level. . The KTM Area 29 Comp 29er mountain bike is a high performance race-ready rig that delivers all the goods at a budget-friendly price. The Area 29 Comp is built around a full M:1489 monocoque carbon fiber frame that is stiff, light, and durable so you can get up to speed faster and stay there longer with less effort. The hardtail design improves pedaling efficiency and makes climbing easier–which is great when it's race time or when you're out to tame some fast and flowy trail. When things get rocky and rutted though, up front is a RockShox Recon Gold TK 29 fork with a forgiving 100mm of travel and a 15mm thru axle. Shifting duties are handled by Shimano's excellent Deore 3×10 groupset. With a crisp shifting action, legendary reliability, and excellent design, Deore has benefitted from a large flow of trickle down technology from both the pro-level XTR and competition-level XT groupsets. Braking is handed by the Deore M615 hydraulic disc brakes, which deliver smooth, powerful, easily modulated stopping power in all terrain and weather conditions. Rouding out the build are a set of Mavic XM319 rims laced to Shimano Deore M618 hubs, all wrapped up in Schwalbe Rocket Ron Evo 29×2.25 tubeless tires. Topping the bike is a Selle Italia X1 Flow saddle, perched atop a KTM forged alloy 27.2mm seatpost.
