In life individuals are occasionally searching for challenges and carrying on to the next point or obstacle in their life. It can be with job, connections, also day-to-day habits. As soon as we have victory in one location we want to the future for what to conquer following. I believe this can be healthy, but it does have its limitations. What do you do when you have dominated everything and there is nothing left for you to do? All of us know that is hard to accomplish, however what if people are looking for the next thing due to the fact that they are not material in just what they have? I just bring this up due to the fact that I have actually existed as well as moved from one thing to the following, yet one point that has held my focus for some time now is Obstacle Racing. If you do not know what that is then simply assume mud runs or operating on routes where there are obstacles you have to overcome to carry on to the next part. There was a time when I assumed just running a 5k was hard, and now including all the barriers as well as even more ranges right into it has actually actually inconvenienced.
It is a lot less complicated to surrender in some cases then to go on, but the end video game is where you need to be looking.
So if you are stuck in life and looking for something to press towards or achieve, I think it might be worth it to look at OCR and see if it is for you. Even if you are not athletic or have actually refrained from doing a lot in the last couple of years there is a race available for any individual! I could inform you this, that as quickly as you finish that race you will feel something you never have before. I could not tell you what that will be, yet I could guarantee you it will certainly exist.
With this said here are a few places you can seek to discover more concerning obstacle racing as well as exactly what it has to provide.

Ireland must put result behind them
With the Championship already gone, Ireland need to re-establish their focus
By Phil Rice
Last weekend England thrashed a disappointing Scottish side to record their second successive Six Nations crown.
This Saturday they will be aiming to double up with a second Grand Slam win. They will start the game as strong favourites over Ireland after Rory Best's men struggled vainly to get past a resolute Welsh defence in Cardiff last Friday evening.
So far in this year's Championship Ireland have failed to reproduce the form of last November when they recorded victories over New Zealand and Australia. With two defeats to Wales and Scotland and two wins over France and Italy, Ireland could finish second in the table with a victory over England at the Aviva this Saturday.
It's FT at Twickenham and England have beaten Scotland to win the 2017 RBS 6 Nations pic.twitter.com/BElRBtBAf0
— England Rugby (@EnglandRugby) March 11, 2017
Just about everything that could go wrong went wrong for a bitterly disappointing Scottish side at Twickenham last Saturday. They had hooker Fraser Brown sin-binned in the second minute and lost their talisman full-back Stuart Hogg through injury shortly afterwards, quickly followed by replacement Mark Bennett.
The game was out of their reach before a quarter of the match had been played. It is hard to evaluate whether this was through England's brilliance or Scotland's ineptitude and bad luck, probably a combination.
England certainly put in their best performance of the campaign but Scotland were terrible and a pale shadow of the team that had disposed of Ireland and Wales earlier in the Championship.
For Ireland's part the defeat in Cardiff was a sobering result after the recent performances against Italy and France had re-established them as serious contenders for the Championship.
Our old 'friend' referee Wayne Barnes significantly yellow carded Johnny Sexton during the first half, when it appeared that the Irish fly-half was trapped beneath Jonathan Davies and couldn't release himself. Wales scored ten crucial points during the sin-binning.
Great sides
Centre Robbie Henshaw, who had a fine game, unfortunately crossed in front of Rory Best just as Ireland's captain dived to score. The English referee ruled that Henshaw had obstructed the Welsh defence although there is little doubt that Best would have scored without the centre's intervention.
Wales immediately went to the other end of the field and scored to create a final scoreline that flattered the men from the valleys.
This week's match at the Aviva has lost some of its significance given that England have already been crowned Champions and Ireland no longer have the potential for silverware. However Ireland will still be highly motivated to beat England as the visitors attempt to win a Grand Slam and extend their record sequence of international victories to nineteen.
Ireland have shown before, notably in Chicago, that an exceptional performance and result is well within their capability.
England's ex-Coach, Sir Clive Woodward commented in his Daily Mail column "There is nothing Ireland love more than to act as party poopers, particularly against England." He went on "I would have much preferred Ireland to have beaten Wales on Friday which would seen the Irish chasing the Championship themselves in front of their own fans" he added. "That would have brought its own pressure."
"Now the Irish are free to make mischief and life as difficult as possible for England as Eddie Jones' team look to make it a world record 19 Test wins on the trot.
"For the second time in five months the Irish can go against national stereotype and act as party poopers."
"The Irish will have an ambush planned, they have 80 minutes to resurrect their season and I can guarantee you Eddie will not consider this a successful season unless they get the job done in Dublin. Great sides win big matches on the road."
In a few weeks time Lions Coach Warren Garland will be selecting his party to tour New Zealand this summer. This week's match at the Aviva will go a long way to determining the prospects of the competing players to join that party.
All Blacks Coach Steve Hansen commented at the weekend, "The Six Nations has been a great tournament and we have seen the depth of player quality in the tournament," He added, "They will come with a lot of depth and it will be probably be one of the best ever Lions selected.
"People are very excited about the team that is coming. We don't get many touring teams that come here any more."
While the players involved this week will be prioritising the result, the potential to achieve the highest honour for a British or Irish rugby player, by being selected as part of a British and Irish Lions touring party, will certainly be at the back of their minds and will add an interesting extra ingredient to what is already an eagerly awaited occasion.
Meanwhile, the Irish Women's rugby team are still on for the Grand Slam:

Audiobook Now Available!
I'm grateful to Cedar House Audio, producer Lyssa Brown and narrator Susanna Burney for the outstanding audiobook version of The Skeptic and the Rabbi they produced. Their attention to detail, especially in a book with so many Hebrew words and phrases, was of the highest caliber. I couldn't be happier with it! It's available through Audible, Libro.FM, Google Play, Kobo, HooplaDigital, Audiobooks.com, and many other platforms. If you get your audiobooks from your local library, please request it. Listen to a clip here:
From Sydney, Australia to Fairbanks, Alaska, "The Skeptic and the Rabbi" gains fans
Bookstores and libraries across the country and around the world are ordering "The Skeptic and the Rabbi" in ever-increasing numbers. I expected to see it in larger cities, such as New York, Boston, and Chicago, and Austin, but to my delight, it is also being sold in Tualatin, Oregon; Athens, Alabama; Calgary, Canada; Honolulu, Hawaii, Boise, Idaho, Cheyenne, Wyoming and many other towns and cities.
When the book first was published, it was featured prominently in the High Holiday displays at many Barnes & Noble stores across the country.
Praise for The Skeptic and the Rabbi
"Honesty shines throughout the book, as Gruen refuses to sugarcoat her narrative. She frankly discusses the many real challenges she encountered in her decision to take upon various mitzvot. The memoir is a terrific read for anyone curious about the Torah lifestyle." – Leah Aharoni, Jewish Action Magazine
"This marvelous book should connect with the widest possible readership – ferociously religious or fervently secular; Jewish, Christian or humanist; baby boomer, Gen X'er or millennial . . . Judy's relationship with Judaism comes across as a serious romance, but one that raises as many new life questions as it settles. The call to 'rules, rituals and restraint'… don't bring an end to thinking and choosing but provide a means to think more deeply and choose more richly." – Michael Medved, author of The American Miracle: Divine Providence in the Rise of the Republic.
"Gruen's ebullient positivity is a counterweight to religion-as-abuse memoirs… an uplifting spin on an often-misunderstood life choice." – Library Journal

News & Notes from Judy
As Summer Ends…
Mothers and fathers across the country are beginning to catch their collective breaths because school has begun! In recognition of this milestone, I offered as my first contribution to the new online magazine called Nashim one of my favorite columns, called The Kids Are Back in School and I'm Broke. I am really glad that over the years I chose to write so many "evergreen" columns as opposed to time-sensitive pieces, because now I can share some of my tales from the front lines of motherhood with a younger generation of parents. So far, they are enjoying the parental commiseration!
Speaking of school, three of our four children are employed as teachers in Jewish education, and our son who is not actively teaching is in law school, but he also teaches on the side. Jeff and I are so proud of our kids for so many reasons, first and foremost because they are wonderful human beings who have brought into our family equally wonderful spouses and in a few cases, grandchildren (lots of extra points for grandchildren!). We are proud of their commitment to Jewish education, where they have the potential to have enormous and lasting positive impact on how children learn, and see the world, and their place in it.
The latest news about The Skeptic and the Rabbi: Falling in Love with Faith
For you Kindle readers who haven't yet downloaded The Skeptic and the Rabbi, hurry up! Now through September 7, it's on sale for the practically free price of .99! As they say on the radio, "this promotion won't last," so here's the direct link to purchase: https://amzn.to/2OyswqS
In other news, the audiobook version is in the final editing stages, and I hope that within a month it will be for sale. As soon as it is, I'll let you know and will also upload an audio clip from the first chapter. I couldn't have asked for a better narrator, Susanna Burney, and producer, Lyssa Browne of Cedar House Audio.

As the testing laboratories in Bhopal work their way through the backlog of thousands of samples, we are are likely to learn of other regions of India where avian H5N8 has already arrived.
Today it is Punjab state, in the North of India and adjacent to neighboring Pakistan, where samples collected last week have now been confirmed as positive for the H5N8 virus.
This overnight from the Indian Express.
Bird flu enters Punjab for the first time
After the deaths were reported to the state's animal husbandry department, it first sent the samples to the Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratory (RDDL) in Jalandhar for testing.
Written by Adil Akhzer | Chandigarh | Published:October 28, 2016 9:04 am
In the first case of bird flu in Punjab, samples from two ducks found dead in an industrial unit's reservoir at Rajpura in Patiala district last week have tested positive for H5N8 avian influenza (commonly known as bird flu). The samples were sent to National Institute of High Security Animal Diseases in Bhopal, which confirmed that the deaths were due to bird flu.
(Continue . . . )
The Central Asian-Indian Flyway that funnels birds from their Siberian and Arctic summer breeding grounds south and west to India, also serves as a conduit to Central Asia, and parts of the Middle East (see green shaded area in map below).
While these flyways are predominately north-south corridors, their overlapping (particularly over their northern breeding grounds) allows for a lateral (east-west) movement of avian viruses as well.
All of which means that we shouldn't be too surprised if we start seeing H5N8 reports from countries and regions both east, and west of the Indian Subcontinent over the next couple of months.

I have switched to milk from my local dairy in Sheffield (Hillsborough Dairy) a few months ago. We get a pint of milk every second day which is enough for us as I don't really drink it that much. Each pint costs 61p and comes in a glass bottle. We order full fat milk and every time you open a new bottle you can actually scoop out the cream from the top! All you have to do with the bottle is rinse it and leave it for Daz to collect it when he delivers next time.
The milk does come with a small top which is made of aluminium foil so it is not a perfect solution (the ideal thing would be to use a swing top glass bottle that you reuse without the use of any disposables). I am going to collect all of my tops and recycle a bunch of them as my local curb recycling does not accept aluminium foil.
Overall with this simple switch I have eliminated around 3 plastic milk bottles a week so that is definitely a step in the right direction. If we ever need more milk for whatever reason, we can always call up for another delivery the next day. The shop is now the last resort, rather than then the usual option.
I imagine that those glass bottles get reused hundreds of times. Even though plastic milk bottles are recyclable, recycling should be the last resort after reusing.
When you buy local produce, you are also supporting your local economy and your money does not go to large corporations but small local business instead.
P.S Say Yes to local produce

FDIC Details $1.8bn Structured Financing Transaction
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) today closed on a sale of notes backed by residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) from seven failed bank receiverships. The news of the closing, summarized in an FDIC press release today, marks the first official release of information on $1.8bn of structured notes that roadshowed and priced in recent weeks. The FDIC also illustrated the structure of the transaction: The sale was conducted through a private placement priced and allocated on March 5th. FDIC said it received "robust investor demand" in response to the transaction, with more than 70 investors -- including banks, investment funds, insurance funds and pension funds -- participating across fixed- and floating-rate series. Barclays Capital served as the sole bookrunner, structuring agent and financial advisor on the platform, called Structured Sale of Guaranteed Notes (SSGN 2010-S1). The timely payment of principal and interest due on the notes are guaranteed by the FDIC, and that guaranty is backed by the full faith and credit of the US government. This offering marks the first issuance of notes by the FDIC since the early 1990s and the first issuance of FDIC-guaranteed debt backed by the full faith and credit of the US. The $1.81bn of notes is backed by 103 non-agency RMBS. The aggregate unpaid balance of the 103 securities was approximately $3.6 billion at the time of the sale. The FDIC retained an equity interest in each series. The transaction features two series of senior notes, each backed by a separate pool of RMBS. The larger series of approximately $1.3bn is based on option adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) and has a floating rate tied to the one-month LIBOR. The smaller series of $480m is based mostly on fixed-rate RMBS and pays a fixed rate. Both series priced at rates comparable to Ginnie Mae collateralized mortgage obligations. The issuance "significantly oversubscribed," FDIC said, allowing the transaction to price at lower spreads to benchmark rates. The $1.33bn series priced at 55bps over Libor, 10bps tighter than earlier guidance. The class of $480m of notes priced at 85bps over Libor, 5-10bps tighter than guidance. The $1.8bn in proceeds will go to the seven failed bank receiverships and eventually be used to pay creditors, including the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). FDIC said this should maximize recoveries for the receiverships and recover substantial funds for the DIF while also meeting strong investor demand. Write to Diana Golobay.

There is good news coming from the uprising for human rights and against the corruption in Egypt. Millions of people are voluntarily participating in the streets, which shows the Egyptians are still interested in democracy and freedom and they want to change both their social and political situations. The primary success stories of uprisings are those in which people learn to declare little victories and then continue pressuring the regime through boycotts, strikes, takeovers, and street protests until their goal and their message is heard and being implemented. Egyptians must not back down. Diverse Leadership and Unity
The Egyptian objective at this time is a very large one. The main intention is that Mubarak, as the president of Egypt, must leave his office. In order to achieve this, the uprising must continue deploying diverse leaders, both on the national and international scale, who can communicate with Mubarak directly. For example, an American leader such as Jimmy Carter could be drawn in to speak with Mubarak and to give him the option of leaving without violence. They could request the same from an African leader like Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who has experience in reconciliation, or a more neutral leader from Latin America who does not have any preexisting interests. Some Arab leaders can also play this role. The leaders of the uprising must show the Egyptian people, the Arab world and the international community that they are interested in democratic change through nonviolence.
Elected Leadership
It is in the interests of the Egyptians to hold democratic elections for community leaders as well as national ones. In these elections, independent people unaffiliated with political parties should be allowed to run. Egyptians as young as 25 run should be able to run for any office in the country, including the presidency. And all parties should have the right to participate in this political process of Egypt. This includes the current ruling party as well as the Communists, Muslim Brotherhood and others. Competitive campaigns will cause Candidates to meet and listen to the issues that are most important to the people. We are aware that one of the main issues in the Egyptian minds is to get rid of the emergency law that gives the President complete authority. .
Egyptians cannot afford to have a democratic election or an uprising and then have it become an Islamic state "like Iran." This is also not a situation in which Egyptians just want a change of faces. Many of the fruits of this revolution will be seen in 15 or 20 years.. Unfortunately, this quick fix mentality is what Mubarak did by appointing a vice president that was head of security and appointing a new cabinet. To prevent a coup d'etat or a group hijacking the revolution or government, the people must continue to organize long after leaving the streets. Social and civil society organizations should organize and flourish throughout Egypt. Egyptians must be prepared to change their culture and devote funds annually to their own nongovernmental groups. Without a stronger civil society and business class, the State will undoubtedly oppress society.
Potential Consequences of Violence
Hundreds of Government supporters will use violence creating difficulty for the military to intervene, thus giving the image that security and stability for the interest of the people becomes the priority. The demonstrators should prevent and control the crowds from using the gatherings against any minority or any specific ethnic group.
Egyptian people must demand that no violence is used by anyone in Egypt and instead use legitimacy and integrity to make their point. They must create a model in which Egyptians don't kill or hurt Egyptians and illustrate this model to the army, police, and all Egyptian citizens. They must set an example that says, "We are proud to be Egyptian and we don't kill each other." And they have to be very, very aware of those who are given permission by Mubarak's regime to commit violence or to burn or kill for the sake of making the uprising a violent one and give more power to the army to shoot or to the police to use firearms. These people have to be stopped by the uprising people and condemned publicly to show they are completely against violence.
Egyptians should trust each other. Those who are in the streets in Alexandria have the same aim and ambition as those who are in Cairo or the Suez or any other city. In the uprising, trust will be essential. Discipline and protecting others property and livelihood becomes important in creating a clear and pure uprising in which nobody is hurt while helping others. In any and every society, there are the exceptions of people who take advantage of these circumstances and like to create chaos. Demonstrators need to know that many will sacrifice themselves and possibly have limited food and lack of funds. These hardships can threaten unity and cause people to turn against each other. To finish the uprising, the people become the law and must prove that they are better than the previous law, which they helped to overthrow. The people, therefore, must act to stop those taking advantage of the situation and of fellow Egyptians. Only by opposing violence and using truth and honesty as a guide will the uprising success and rights will prevail.
We wish you the best in Egypt.

5 Common Issues Faced in Home Renovation
Have you decided to renovate your home?
Maybe you have bought a property at a cut price, and it needs a lot of work done to it? Perhaps you simply feel your home needs an upgrade? No matter what applies, a home renovation requires a lot of careful planning and preparation. While it can be very rewarding, it is not an easy job, and there are numerous problems that can arise throughout.
Below, we take a look at some of the common issues people face when renovating a property, as well as some top tips on how to overcome them.
Finding reliable equipment and materials
Firstly, a lot of people struggle with buying the equipment and the materials they need.
It can be tempting to go for the cheapest materials you can find. After all, it is likely that your renovation project is already going to cost you a significant amount, and you want to keep those costs down as much as possible. However, if you opt for cheap equipment or materials, it is only going to cost you more money in the long run.
In fact, it could compromise the entire project.
This is why it is important to source materials and equipment with care. Do your research to be sure you are purchasing from a reputable seller.
Transporting heavy materials
Transporting heavy materials can be virtually impossible when relying on your own means. You will need a reputable company that can provide you with mini crane hire or crane truck hire, such as Membrey's Crane Hire & Transport. This is a job that is best left to the professionals.
Underestimating the scope of the project
Another common issue that arises is underestimating the scope of the renovation.
This is something that most people are guilty of. They decide when they want the project finished by, and then try to schedule everything within this time frame. Or, when determining how long each phase of the project is going to take, they don't allow themselves any time for something going wrong.
It is very unlikely that your project will run smoothly from start to finish – unless you are extremely lucky. So, keep this in mind when it comes to project scope.
Dealing with dry rot and mould
Dry rot is a problem that a lot of homes have.
However, many people do not realise this until the renovation work begins. This is due to the fact that dry rot is a fungus that develops in wood that has been wet. This causes the wood to have white stains, and become soft and crumbly. This can spread, causing further damage.
If this is impacting wood that is incorporated in structural support, seek the assistance of professionals. Mould is another problem in most old homes, which also occurs as a result of water that has leaked from the roof, walls or pipes. You need to get rid of mould properly, so, again, it is wise to get professional help.
Finding a way to remove all of the offcuts and waste
Getting rid of waste can be a challenge when it comes to these types of projects.
A waste management plan is essential. For each phase of the project, consider the type and quantity of waste that is going to be generated, and have a plan in place for dealing with this.
Hopefully, you can now be prepared for some of the most common issues that occur during home renovations so you can make sure they do not happen during your project. By being prepared for the worst, you can ensure a disaster does not strike and that your renovation gets completed on time, on budget and to the standard you want.

Before embarking on a career in winemaking, however, Conrad took a detour and began a marketing course at the Cape Technikon which led him to a year-long adventure in Mozambique from 1991 to 1992. But this was not the end of his wanderlust. Only after spending another year working on yachts in the Caribbean, did his journey finally bring him back home during 1994, a watershed year for South African democracy. It took another detour, this time a three-year stint in the building trade, before he finally answered his true calling and returned to winemaking at Darling Cellars in January 1998. Here he honed his skills as assistant winemaker to Abe Beukes for three years. In 2003 he was appointed cellarmaster by Spatz Sperling at Delheim. After two years, he moved to Baarsma where he
gained valuable insights under Chris Rabie, as production manager and grape buyer into the entire wine production process and the diverse winegrowing regions stretching from Lutzville on the West Coast all the way to Bonnievale in the Robertson Wine Valley.
In 2004 he realised his true destiny, when the opportunity arose to join the small boutique Strandveld Vineyards cellar near Elim. "When the opportunity arrived to go and make wine and manage a vineyard in South Africa's new vineyard frontier, Elim, I could not resist," says Conrad, who together with his family has made Strandveld Vineyards his home.
As the first winemaker to press grapes from Strandveld's own vineyards in 2005, Conrad has a close affinity to the soil, the vineyards and the cellar and 2015 marks his 11th harvest at this southernmost wine estate. The white cultivars Conrad currently specialises in are Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, especially a blend of the two as portrayed in his highly acclaimed Adamastor. Amongst the reds, his focus is on Shiraz, Grenache and Pinot Noir.
When Conrad is not working in the vineyards or the cellar, you can find him in the veld or line fishing from his sea kayak in the Atlantic off Cape Agulhas.
