Eddie Soens: Win for Raleigh's Wilkinson
Ian Wilkinson of Team Raleigh has won the biggest British race of the year so far outsprinting Graham Briggs and Rob Partridge after a break got clear in the closing laps of the race and with the major teams represented, it was given the all clear to stay away by those teams.
Strike one to Ian Wilkinson of Team Raleigh as be beats Graham Briggs to the line in the 2014 Eddie Soens.
Raleigh and Rapha Condor JLT were the teams with the major numbers there with Velosure Giordana only having a small team and no other major teams having the firepower to do anything about the break.
The race began with the usual handicap format of four groups being set off at different times and straight away there was attacking in the front group. The middle groups were huge but unable to make their numbers count whilst in the scratch group, there was no clear cut idea of which team was going to control the pace.
Rapha and Raleigh each had a go and then Rapha lost some riders in a crash, Will Stephenson among them before Raleigh took control for a whilst until the men in black got organised again. Whilst the pace of the scratch group didn't appear visually to be that frantic, it was at the front.
The pros though were soon in the same straight as the big group in front. With still a third of the race to go, the junction was made and that prompted a series of small groups going clear.
It wasn't until four riders got clear with riders from the three big teams, and fast sprinters as well in Wilkinson and Briggs, that the teams were happy and let it go. Dillon Byrne was the unknown and after his success in the Salt Ayre league in 2013, there was a chance of an upset.
The race is flagged away by Doreen Mallinson, a hall of famer in cycling from all the work she and her late husband John did
It wasn't to be. He went backwards with three laps to go and it was down to three. Rob Partridge had a dig but that didn't work and then in the sprint, Wilkinson took it up with Partridge on his wheel.
When 'Superman' opened the burners to make his run, Partridge was gapped and Briggs had to go the long way round, throwing a wheelie at the line but not doing enough to beat the Raleigh rider who came around a lap later stretched out over the bike in the superman position.
It was Team Raleigh that had struck first. Ominously though, look down the result sheet and it was Chris Opie and Felix English who took the next two positions after going 1-2 in the bunch kick. It shows they have the speed and it will be all the more interesting when we finally see the other two big teams in the mix as well.
It's going to be a great season!
Richard Handley leads Luke Grivell-Mellor in the early stages of the race held in cold but dry and sunny conditions. Perfect!
Fast in his own right, Ian Wilkinson was up against another fast rider in Graham Briggs. Asked how confident he was of beating him, Ian replied "zero. Briggsy is very very fast and he was kicking through so strong. I knew I was strong but didn't know how fast I was. I haven't raced an event like this yet so I was quite happy to lead it out and then I saw Rob (Partridge) get on my wheel.â€
"I thought Christmas had come early with Rob there, he was doing his turns but was going 2k an hour slower. I kept it going to the line and didn't realise I was at the finish line and kept going and didn't get my hands in the air! Super happy for the first race in Britain for Raleigh in 2014 and get the household name back in the householdâ€.
On who was taking responsibility for the chasing in the scratch group, Ian explained "we had eight riders, we're a pro team with a few sprint options in me, Blain and Morgan; Rapha had Briggsy and Opie, so the onus was on us two teams.â€
"Not sure what happened but Rapha had a coming together and they fell off down the back so they lost three of them. So we took it up and fair play they came back and starting riding again. It still took us a while to catch them (the front group) thoughâ€.
"There was attacking all over the spot then and Blain was making efforts to get in front and I was following him and then Graham was right up there and keen. We then rolled off and teams were happy with two good riders in there.â€
The Raleigh team in control at the front with the string led by Yanto Barker, the UK's number 1 British based rider in 2013.
Rob Partridge "I am quite happy with that after the week I have had. I bit a bit of food poisoning at the start of the week so I wasn't sure how I was going to go. I was lucky that Phil (Griffiths) made me an offer to come to this team and I am real happy to have all this nice kit and a Dogma (Pinarello) and a decent programme coming up.â€
"I was up and down in the break with the stomach still hurting now so I was trying hard not to focus on that and focus on the race. When it got to 40 seconds, I knew I had to try something so I had a go on the back straight but it didn't come to anything as these boys are so strong.â€
"This is only my second race and it's not one I am suited to but it shows he work I did in the winter has paid off.â€
George Richardson on the attack.
Graham Briggs: A little bit mistiming he said on twitter referring to not having the right wheel in the sprint. Here is what he told VeloUK afterwards "It was good to get out there and pin a number on in the UK. The form is there. I had a good start to the season (Down Under) with all the boys and so I intend to keep the head down now and keep training hard.â€
"I Partridge's wheel and a gap opened and it was game over. I was coming fast but the line came to soon. I was feeling alright out there. I just came back from Tenerife on Thursday night so was a little tired and lacking a bit of zip but that will come next week.â€
"I backed off when I got back from Down Under. We've just had an extension on the house and were moving in so I had a week off the bike before a week on the bike in the UK and then went to Tenerife and had a solid week there.â€
"I was really surprised how well I climbed in New Zealand but I have put quite a lot of work in during the time in Australia and that helped. I said to John (Herety) on the last day in New Zealand on the climbs when it was going I was always top ten so I was confident I could get up there on the last stage.â€
"I have always done well when I have good condition in the tougher races and like it when it's a bit selective and it's good to have a few strings to the bow.â€
The middle group certainly huge but by no means organised.
Alex Blain (Raleigh) : The Eddie Soens was Alex Blain's first race back after a injury. The former winner of the CiCLE Classic and a round of the Tour Series had good form I was told in France when with the team but what was Alex's verdict?
"It was good. I am really surprised with my legs. I didn't expect to feel so good so quick. It is good for morale and gives me confidence. Straight away we have found good spirit as a team and rode as a unit. So it was really pleasing for the first race in the UK and we have proved we have a good team.â€
Tom Bustard of Velosure Giordana having a go once the race was together.
Morgan Kneisky: The former World Champion twice on the track, 2009 and 2013, was in a break and eighth in the race. Afterwards, with Yanto Barker the interpreter, VeloUK asked what he thought of his first road racing in UK. "It was open and it was good to discover what the British racing was like. I followed the breaks and made sure I did some work going with the flow of the moves.†He was, like the rest of the team, pleased with how it all had gone.
Chris Opie leads a dangerous move but it was short lived.
Yanto Barker (Raleigh): The top rider in Britain in 2013, in new colours for 2014, was a little ill in Haut Var but when asked how he felt in the Soens where he was 12th, he said "I am much better thanks. We knew what was going to happen even though I haven't raced here before. It was an interesting one where there are a lot of little decisions to make and coming out on top means making the right ones repeatedly.â€
"I saw the group with Wilkes go away and was really really happy. I thought that was one of the best situations we could have hoped for. Especially with Rob who is strong and I know Briggsy is going well because I was following him when he followed a few moves. We did a lead out at the end to keep ourselves safe but had to hold it back so we didn't get too close to them for the finish.â€
"What is really good is that there are three or four of us who know exactly what we need to be doing and make sure we communicate that to everyone else. Even if it had been someone else up the road, Wilkes would have been telling the others what was needed. There was a point in the race when we were doing too much riding and I had a conversation with Wilkes. We needed to change what we were doing as we were doing team time trial efforts, 15 or 20 seconds turns and we needed to do the turn and drop back behind the other teams to get them to come throughâ€.
"It is nice to get the first one in the bag. A lot of people look out for the result on this one and it's the first big hit out for a lot of teams. What is interesting for me is seeing the team dynamics going on out there on the road ;-) …â€
The biggest break but too big to be given any freedom.
With Raleigh, Rapha etc in the break it was left to teams like Wheelbase with only one rider or two riders to do the chasing.
Graham Briggs looks back to see what the gap is. Dillon Byrne is the rider just behind him.
And then there was three, Briggs, Partridge and Wilkinson.Â

Should You Learn Piano Arpeggios?
Mastering arpeggios can take your online piano learning to the next level. Arpeggios train our fingers, hands, and bodies to understand the geography of the keyboard and navigate it smoothly and intuitively. Arpeggios appear constantly in western classical music — to understand arpeggios is to understand how to create harmony at the piano.
A three-note, one-octave arpeggio is a great place to start as a beginner. There are four kinds of three-note arpeggios — major, minor, augmented and diminished. Mastering and practicing the major and minor arpeggios, in all 12 keys, using the entire range of the keyboard is a tool that is useful to all pianists, from a young beginner to a seasoned concert professional. Download PianoCub.com's arpeggio charts for all the major and minor keys. They have all the fingerings you'll need to start your practicing.
C Major Arpeggio
Upon having a firm grasp of the major and minor keys, move onto practicing the augmented and diminished three-note arpeggios followed by working on the four-note arpeggios. The four-note arpeggios encapsulate the 5 kinds of 7th chords: major 7th, dominant 7th, minor 7th, half-diminished 7th, and fully diminished 7th. Start with the dominant 7th and the diminished 7th, as they are the most common in the piano literature. Then work your way through the rest of them slowly. If you really want to learn piano well, your goal should be to eventually play the 9 varieties of arpeggio in all 12 keys!
When practicing your arpeggios, don't forget about your body position! Your elbows guide your arms and hands as they smoothly rotate over the keys. Your torso and back need to move from side to side so your hands can remain centered to your body as you navigate the keyboard.
Finally, don't forget about the thumb! The thumb is the most important finger in an arpeggio as it is the fulcrum for the entire hand to rotate on to move from octave to octave. The thumb needs to always be thinking ahead — in one direction it should be tucked under as the other fingers are playing and in the other direction it leads the other fingers to fold over it.

What Happy Photographers Are Saying:from 257 reviews
Can't tell the difference from a camera attachment from the real thing! and its a Travel Cup! Would make an awesome Christmas gift for anybody that loves to take pictures!
This fit the need for my studio. We can add it to what we already have
Meets the need for travel.
Upon opening the package, I found it to be light and green color inside then saw that it was well-knitted as you can see in the unmodified photos and has pockets that most bags don't have however it is not sturdy enough to protect from dropping impact so caution needs to be made. I don't ever drop mine. My Nikon camera with 2 lens, batteries, charger, and, flash kit fit right in the bag with ease with room for more. I recommend it for anyone who doesn't like the burden of weight and limitation of storage for lens and such.
purchased ring for my daughter for a present. Item received in great condition/packaging excellent. Very quick on the response.
great addition to my camera
I have great difficulty holding my camera over the last few years and this strap has given me back my stability and the joy of taking photos.
great item
A well-made shirt that turns head while I'm wearing it. Great gift idea for the photographer in your life. Well made and it fits great.
Thank you very much for fulfilling my order I love it
i have not had much of a chance to use it yet as i only got it about 4 days ago. But what i have used it so far is great and the different colored backdrops that can be used in it make it even better. Great price.
Light, strong, maneuverable, much than average tripod
We set up by my girlfriend's pool. Her husband was laughing at us and we put the backdrop on a clothesline. Below are the results. Her husband stopped laughing.
My wife bought this bag for me for Christmas and I absolutely LOVE it. It's exactly as it is named, easy access. I don't have rummage through he bag to quickly grab my DSLR on a shoot or on the go. great bag for the price!
Love it
Nicely packaged... can't wait to get out and use it.
Great product that works as advertised.
Perfect size. Fits all my gear and the quality is really, really good.
I bought this for a trip I was planning and the bag was absolutely perfect. Great quality, lots of storage spaces and the wheels were just an added bonus! Highly recommend!
Great Product, Fast Service
Excellent tripod & monopod! Easy to carry with included bag.
Works great, nice tight fit, and the bubble level is a nice addition.
Works perfectly on my D750, very satisfied.
Everything is good with the price
Love the protectors!! Plenty of protection and offer a great clip to carry on your side for easy accessibility. I just wish perhaps they were slightly wider for my lens hood to remain on my Large lenses. Would order again!
So far so good! I've been using it for astrophotography.
Great lens at this price point!
Received my order in a timely manner. Haven't used the products yet but looking forward to putting them to good use.
Comfortable, straight stencil, reasonably good quality
Fast service, item was even better than expected. Now both my camera and flash are smarter than I am.
Love the ring light
A basic over the shoulder camera strap that works well and keeps the weight of the camera off of my neck, which is why I purchased it.
I primarily bought the case to carry my flying camera(drone) but will see use for my dslrs. Easily configured for multiple uses with movable dividers. Only negative is the zipper sometimes hangs up on the lids edge seam and has to be manipulated to get it unstuck. Good value!
Sturdy yet light and watertight. Does the job.
Nice bag, keeps camera dry and able to shoot in heavy rain. Handy strap for carrying.
They could modify the roll up plastic to leave more room to snap closed. Needs a a trigger hole for shutter button.
Overall pretty good bag for price.
Looks very good and real but takes to long to get
Arrived in good condition, looks good.

By God's grace, just as you are:
You are here.
You are known.
You are loved.next >
I'm going to bring them back from the north; I will gather them from the ends of the earth. Among them will be the blind and the disabled, expectant mothers and those in labor; a great throng will return here. With tears of joy they will come; while they pray, I will bring them back. I will lead them by quiet streams and on smooth paths so they don't stumble. I will be Israel's father, Ephraim will be my oldest child.
Jeremiah 31:8-9next >
There was a time when someone responsible for you held your hand. Maybe it was before you crossed a street or to help you up the steps or hoist you up at the playground. That caring adult held your hand because they wanted to help you. Then there may have been a time when you refused that same person's hand. You wanted to explore for yourself, by yourself. You believed that you could do it on your own.
These words from the prophet Jeremiah remind us that we will always be beloved children of God. So, it's okay to still reach out for God's hand. No, we may not be able to physically touch God's hands. But through prayer, meditation on Scripture, and communal worship, there is a way to experience God's loving presence anytime. If we want help, God is able to lead and guide us along the way.

Eternal God, thank you for leading me up until this point. Now I pray that you would give me the wisdom today to ask for your help and accept it along the way. Amen.next >
Before you knew it, you were loved. Now, let the love of God help you live like you are loved today.

First of all let me say that I think horses are the most majestic, loyal, loving, therapeutic creatures, God has put on this earth! Now for the reality check; they are expensive. They are not expensive to buy per se, but they definitely will cost you some cash on a monthly basis.
If you have never owned a horse here are some things you may want to think about before you dive in. Finding a horse that is right for you is very important. If you or one of your children is taking lessons you may think all horses act like this wonderful lesson horse you are riding around in the arena. Not all horses will be as quiet or compliant as most lesson horses. Riding in a safe environment like an arena, is totally different than being out on a trail. There are all kinds of horse eating monsters out in the open! Horses are flight animals and they tend to run first, and try to figure out what that dark object, or that thing that flew by, was later. I have known far too many people that get in over their heads when it comes to choosing a horse. Please, take a friend or a trainer that knows your skill level to help you find a horse that will be a good match. The worst feeling in the world is to buy a horse and to be terrified to ride it. If you get hurt riding, it can take a very long time to get over that mentally. Some never do, and then the horse just sits in a paddock and becomes a very expensive lawn ornament. I am not trying to discourage you from buying a horse; just try to choose the right one!
Are you planning on keeping your horse at home, or will you be boarding him out? Boarding can be easier, but it is not cheap. You should look around, and talk to some boarding facilities in your area. If you have never boarded before, talk to someone who has, so they can guide you on some essential questions to ask the person in charge, such as: Will the horses get daily turn out, even if it rains or snows? Many facilities won't turn horses out in these conditions, and in my opinion, horses need to be out as much as possible. Lightning storms or below zero and windy, that is a different story. Most horses do quite well if they have a run in, or have a suitable blanket. (At what temperature should you blanket a horse is another thing that many horse people do not agree upon). So ask if they will get blanketed when conditions are bad, do they get fly sprayed (be sure to ask if there are additional fees for these things), how many hours a day will they be out, and how many feedings a day will they get? If you go to a boarding facility and they tell you the horse will get hay twice a day, run, (unless they are on pasture). Horses in the wild eat 18 out of 24 hours a day! Horses that do not get enough to eat are prone to colic, and can pick up bad habits from being bored. Ulcers are another concern for horses that do not have enough in their bellies. Are you looking for a show barn, or a laid back stable where there is no drama? Do you want trails, or is an arena important for you to have? These are a few things you will want to think about when you look at a facility. Get some recommendations from people who board there, or better yet, who have boarded there. This can help you get a feel for what type of setting you can expect at the facility.
If you decide you want to keep your horse at your home this is another whole ball game! If you have an existing barn, wonderful, if not it would be a good idea to get some books on building one. Things you may not have even considered such as building to block the North wind, where will your hay storage be, what types of stalls should you build, are you going to get rubber mats? Horses love to chew any unprotected surfaces, metal edging on exposed areas is a good way to go if you don't want to be replacing boards every few years (or sooner). If you have more than one horse should you put metal rods in a window between stalls, or just have a half wall to divide the horses? This could depend on how well the horses get along. Do they fight over food, or try to bite each other? Horses have been known to try to jump a wall that is too low; they can get hung up and injured. Some horses get agitated if they can't see their buddy, in this case a way for them to see each other should be considered. Horses are herd animals and need a buddy. If you are not going to have two horses you should consider a goat, sheep, or even a cow for company. A problem that you may encounter by having two horses is that unless you always have someone to ride with, leaving one horse at home may be an issue. Horses do get "Buddy sour" and unless you know how to deal with this it could be more of a problem than having a pal like a goat or sheep, etc.
Where will you get your hay? Friends with horses should be able to give you the names of some people with good quality hay. Other things to think about, is your water source easily accessible, especially in winter, where and what kind of grain should you feed, if any. (This is another whole topic for discussion)! Checking your property for toxic plants is very important. They can be deadly if eaten by your horse. If you want to go away who will take care of your horse? Your horse needs care seven days a week, whether you are sick, or would just like to go on vacation. You will need someone that is responsible, who will be able to tell if there is something wrong with your horse, and know whether it is necessary to call a vet to look at him.
In a nut shell, some average monthly costs to think about before you buy your horse: hay, the range right now is around $5-$6 a bale, grain $20 per bag, farrier every six to eight weeks, $40-$120. Horses need their teeth floated once, sometimes twice a year, $55 to over $100, spring shots around $200 per horse.
Boarding can run anywhere from $300 to $600, or more, depending on what amenities the facility has! Remember; stables provide feed, turnout, water, mucking out your stall, and usually will blanket your horse.
Do you feel totally overwhelmed? I did when I brought my first horse home. I thought for sure I would kill him not knowing how to care for him properly. Read everything you can get your hands on and ask horse knowledgeable friends to teach you. Just realize that you can line up five different horse people and you will get ten different answers! Do some research on hay, grain, bedding, farrier, and how much pet sitting will cost. This can help you decide which way to go as far as whether taking your horse home or boarding is the way to go.

We have found a partner who shares our vision of creating a more sustainable future by doing more for the environment and reducing the consumption of fossil resources.
A range of packaging has been developed in Germany and adopted by a food manufacturer in the country that offers major environmental benefits over fossil fuel-based alternatives: a carton pack that is 100% linked to plant-based renewable materials. Created by Sig, each container is aluminium-free, has a carbon footprint that is 72% lower and which uses less CO2 in their production than a standard carton pack of the same format.
The food and drink manufacturer, Arla, has begun to use the Signature Pack cartons for its latest range of organic dairy products, part of a commitment from the company to lessen its impact on the environment. The Signature cartons are made from 77% paper board and 23% plant-based polymers through mass balancing, a process that means an equivalent amount of bio-based feedstock went into the manufacturing of the polymers.
The latest partnership with Sig furthers an environmental commitment from Arla that at the beginning of the year helped the packaging giant, Tetra Pak, to hit the half a billion unit mark for its plant-based packaging product, Tetra Rex. First launched in Scandinavia, the home of Arla, Tetra Pak's drink packaging is constructed solely from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paperboard and controlled sources, with all its ingredients fully traceable to its plant origin.
Commenting on the latest work Sig has done with Arla, the Europe president at Sig, Martin Herrenbrueck, said: With Arla we have found a partner who shares our vision of creating a more sustainable future by doing more for the environment and reducing the consumption of fossil resources, who added that by choosing it, Arla was getting the full benefit of what he called a global innovation.
In related news, the food and drink manufacturer Princes, which produces Napolina, Flora and Batchelors, has said that by the beginning of October it will use plastic that is made up of 51% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET). Intended for all of its branded and own-label bottles, a spokesperson from the company that its reported produces around 7% of all plastic bottles used in the UK, was a significant step for the company and the grocery industry as a whole.

Real Estate Law in Oklahoma
Jenks's real estate industry is controlled by a huge body of laws. This is because almost any real estate transaction invokes laws regarding civil rights, consumer protection, land use, and contracts.
Real estate law in Jenks can be fairly intricate, especially when it comes to things like mortgages and the resolution of disputes over construction defects.
Therefore, it's a smart idea to obtain at least a very basic knowledge of how real estate law in Jenks works.
Having at least some knowledge of real estate law will be to your advantage in basically any real estate transaction. Knowing the law can give you a bargaining advantage and prevent you from being saddled with obligations that you don't have to assume.
Common Real Estate Law Issues in Jenks
Financing: Most persons, families, and small businesses in Jenks cannot afford to buy a large piece of real estate with the money they have on hand. However, they generally can afford to pay for it over a long period of time, in installments, with interest. Consequently, most real estate is purchased using a mortgage - a loan for a specific purchase, using the item purchased as collateral.
Zoning: Zoning laws dictate what types of buildings can go on given pieces of property. These laws are usually designed to ensure that residential areas are as clean and as quiet as possible, thereby preserving property values. They accomplish this by ensuring that other uses that might be inappropriate in a residential area, such as heavy industry, are in different parts of town. This also ensures that industries will be able to go about their business without constant complaints from their neighbors.
Duty to Disclose: sellers of real estate, particularly houses and other residential property, are legally bound to tell the buyer about any defects in the property that the seller knows about, and that the buyer couldn't easily discover on his own (mold or termite problems are prevalent examples). If the seller fails to make such disclosures, he or she could be liable for any harm the defect causes to the buyer, as well as the cost of repairing it. If the seller intentionally conceals or lies about the defect, he or she might also face punitive damages.
Implied Warranties: Every lease of a residential unit in Jenks carries with it an implicit promise by the owner that the unit will meet some basic minimum requirements for human habitability. There are many factors that go into deciding if an unit is "habitable," but there are a few essentials, and they include running water, heat, electricity, and adequate shelter from the elements.
Can a Jenks Real Estate Lawyer Help?
The issues briefly discussed above, as well as many others, can be very confusing. Accordingly, if you are engaged in any real estate transaction, it's never a bad idea to first consult with an experienced Jenks real estate attorney.

Oh my gosh FLORAL Patterns
Headband & Case!
We now having matching winter headbands that can match your drink belt case. Pruchase the combo or go for on, mix and match the florals, or keep it simple.

One product with endless possibilities. Pick from our inventory, create your own, or design for your team.
Feeling a little jealous you don't have an insulated water belt for this case, you can purchase your TOKO belt with us.
Fun Add-Ons.
Who's behind this new idea of a case for a drink belt?
Lindsey (Burkhardt) Masterson here and the start of 2020 I knew nothing about sewing, textiles, laser cutting, trademarks, and patenting a product. With the support and funding (LOL) of my husband I went full speed ahead on my vission. My background is web developing (the geeky side of me) and photography (using my UNH art degree for something). I've built a business up over the years Cheetah Design Studio. It's successful, and still going....but then there is this!
So I'm saving money launching this product with my background, and because it's my background I'm also obsessing and need to let go. So I'm letting go and launching this! I've put my extremely expensive fancy Nikon camera down and busted out my cell phone to take photos. I've dumbed down the possiblities of the website and made it simple.
I wanted to launch with the light up case, and like any product I'm running into walls with that. Manly because I want it perfect right out the gate. Listen, you see this simple case right? Not that simple. This whole process has been a huge learning curve & very frustrating. What I've learned over this process and past experiences is never rely on anyone. I now know how to sew, laser cut, and starting a product during a pandemic makes ordering fabric hard.
Why no name? I'm calling it what it is for now. If this becomes more then I'll totally come up with a name.
TEAMS :: Let's get your team going on the wicked cool drink belt case with your own colors. Once you customize your colors, we'll complete thedrink belt case and ship them off to you. The best part about this process is we ship to you, and you use the silk-screener of your choice. If you want we can handle the silk-screening for you instead. One stop shop.
YOU :: Create your own. The possibilites are endless, and we want you to have fun with it. There are seven pieces that make up the drink belt case and we want you to pick 6.
Flash Sale!
We're not that nice. This offer won't last forever.
Always updating.
We're always inovating. This simple product has so much more potential. We plan to come out with our own line of textiles with limited availablity. Make sure to signup (in the footer) for our newsletter. We will make announcements with new prodcuts and promos.

How can your peers make sure their private/group/academic practice is appropriate with ethnic minorities?
Wendy W. Lee, MD: Being at a university, we have strict guidelines in place to ensure the ethical treatment of all, which includes appropriate behavior of ethnic minorities. It is important to have guidelines in place no matter what type of practice you are in, and these guidelines should apply to providers, patients, and staff.
José Raúl Montes, MD: We have to elaborate a universal Mission Statement with specific guiding principles, that promotes inclusiveness and repudiates discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual preference.
Jeanine Downie, MD: My peers can make sure their practice is appropriate with ethnic minorities by hiring ethnic minorities, training everyone in cultural sensitivity and racial diversity, and being aware of ethnic differences and practices.
With racial issues and diversity, common sense rules. If you think something is offensive, then simply avoid it.
How can anyone become a better, more capable, and more empathetic physician to race and race issues with patients of color?
Dr. Montes: The phrasing of this question has an implicit bias due to the plea for becoming "empathetic." The fact that empathy is required admits that there's a position of privilege. Someone who has to make a conscientious act of showing empathy is clearly standing on a pedestal.
Empathy is a concession that people make toward others; not a change in their way of thinking. If anything, you should take care of yourself first in order to become educated and freed from your own prejudice.
Dr. Lee: Awareness comes from keeping an open mind and listening to all points of view. It is important to place everyone on an even playing field, no matter the color of their skin. Be sensitive to others and how they may have been mistreated in the past, working with them to change that behavior and make them feel comfortable and safe.
Melissa Kanchanapoomi Levin, MD: As physicians, we cannot deny that we are in positions of power and privilege. With this collective power and privilege, we should be at the forefront of these conversations. The public health crisis of COVID-19 has demonstrated the systemic and underlying racism in our health institutions.
There are steps an individual aesthetic physician can take:
- Acknowledge our biases, the lack of diversity in our field across medical school and residency training, research, leadership, and clinical exposure.
- Get involved in mentorship to support and provide mentorship and opportunities to black communities.
- Perform a comprehensive review of your practice: clinical expertise, hiring practices, staff training, marketing, communication. Focus on ensuring that your practice and skillset is inclusive to all patients and staff members. Create a plan to work on your practice's biases and how to dismantle them.
Dr. Downie: Everyone can be a better and more empathetic physician to race and race issues with skin of color patients by listening, reading, and caring. Cultural sensitivity training and awareness is critical, and I believe there should be more of it within our academic halls when we are giving conferences.
Care enough to treat all of your patients the same—with respect and dignity.
There is a doctor from New Jersey who will remain unnamed. I was rotating with him and considering taking a job offer with him back in the late 90s when I was just finishing my chief residency year at Mount Sinai Medical Center. He would go in the white patients rooms' and say "Good morning, Mr. [Last Name]. How are you? It's a pleasure to see you. I'm Dr. [Anonymous], etc."
However, in the rooms with African-American patients, he would walk in and say "What's up, my man? How you doing?" and embarrass the heck out of me and say it in some crazy Bill Cosby type of voice. I was horrified. Not the place for me to work, I decided rapidly!
What can your specialty do to support its members who are part of racial/ethnic minorities and/or to support permanent positive change in terms of racism?
Dr. Lee: ASOPRS is very supportive of not only its members, but also staff, volunteers, members in training, attendees of our meetings, and vendors who participate in our meetings. Our society does not discriminate based on gender, age, or race and is very aware of and sensitive to issues in the world surrounding inequality with a no tolerance policy.
Dr. Downie: I have mentioned some different things that pharmaceutical companies and industry can do. In addition, we need to have more ethnic minorities become residents in the many different dermatology programs across the country. We need to foster proper discussion of what is racist and what is not racist, even if it makes some people/docs uncomfortable. It is better to make doctors uncomfortable than to make patients upset.
Permanent positive change comes from being anti-racist. It is not enough to consider yourself not a racist. If you hear something, say something. The best example of this that I can give is if you are constantly listening to your Auntie Louise talking smack about black people, gay people, or Latino people, say something. Aunt Louise doesn't feel comfortable talking to ethnic minorities about her racism at all. But she feels comfortable talking to you. So take her down. Defend us. Say something. Speak up. Silence is not helpful, and that's how this idiocy has been allowed to continue for as long as it has.
Be sympathetic, be empathetic. That is all. Read more, listen more, and learn. That is the most effective way to combat ignorance and hatred in our society. I always say, "If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem."
Defeating widespread and systemic racism will be a slow and steady process. I firmly believe that it can happen. It will happen with one person at a time. Minorities cannot take on this fight by ourselves. It is not up to only minorities, it is actually up to all of us. We need help, and we would be obliged if everyone from all backgrounds would lend us a hand.

text: In the mid-19th century, women had no legal standing separate from their husbands—they couldn't vote, own property, or sign contracts on their own. It was scandalous for them to ride a bicycle. They had little control over their wages, if they received them at all. They were also banned from stockbroking and the bustling trading activity of venues like the New York Stock Exchange.To play the market, women had to pay hefty commissions to men who would invest on their behalf. To get around the middleman, they began opening their own brokerages, some serving women only, 40 years before they had the right to vote.Their brokerages were subjected to scorn and ridicule, marked as traps to lure unsuspecting women. Mostly, the women were considered jokes by society.

There is actually as much jazz and rock & roll as R&B on this intriguing and generous (it comes in with a running time of just under 80 minutes) disc from Bear Family, which features instrumentals from almost two dozen Hammond B3 players popular in Britain in the 1960s. Among the highlights of Hammond Heroes: 60's R&B Heroes are Steve Winwood's "Stevie's Groove," recorded in 1966 when he was still a member of the Spencer Davis Group; the fiery "Zoom Widge and Way" from drummer Bobby Graham with Kenny Salmon on organ; a hard-charging and jazz-inflected version of the gospel classic "Wade in the Water" with Graham Bond at the keys and a rhythm section of Jack Bruce on bass and Ginger Baker on drums from 1965, and the Nice's rendition of Charles Lloyd's "Sombrero Sam," featuring Keith Emerson on organ, from 1968. Also worth noting is the massive, swelling "Back in the Grass" recorded by the group Motherhood in 1968, and featuring Klaus Doldinger on tenor sax and James "Ham" Jackson on organ. The liner notes for this set are top-notch, beginning with a brief history of Laurens Hammond, the man who invented the Hammond organ (he also invented those familiar red and green 3-D glasses, by the way), and once he added Don Leslie's rotating speaker system to the organ frame, a stone cold classic instrument came to life. What we need now is for Bear Family to do a companion volume of American Hammond players like Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, and Jimmy McGriff.

text: I think Trent makes a good point about member work at NB not being something funds are for. i.e. the Treasure is a good example of something necessary for NB to function as well. To clarify, could we agree to at least one or both of the following uses of an Elevator Fund? 1) to hire /outside/ professional help with elevator repair (from a private company or union that would issue a receipt) 2) to purchase parts for the elevator (with receipts) I understand the perspective of fundraising, but this requires work and I have tried this already appealing to lots of people with literally zero results. When something as necessary as the elevator is broken it shouldn't require months of fundraising efforts to get basic funds to make it run again... The landlord hasn't just done a poor job, they haven't done a job at all. The elevator would still be broken if myself and others hadn't spent the hours repairing it. This was hard to do with my disabilities and I was not able to attempt it for months. I had to injure myself and take the full initiative on this, no one else setup time to repair it. This situation was unexcellent and I am trying to avoid it in the future not if, but /when/ the elevator breaks again. Lastly, we have NB funds put aside for things less crucial than the elevator. It seems reasonable to have a small fund for this. It could be literally any amount.

There are lots of critical tasks in addition to fixing the elevator: managing finances, cleaning trash, running the access control and server systems, leading tours, 86-ing hazardous people, etc. We can't pay for all of the work that needs to be done to keep the space running. Legally it's the landlord's responsibility to keep the elevator working, but they've done a very poor job and I recognize that DIY fixes will be faster. Even though we're spending money on a building we don't own, it's worth it to make the space accessible. As for a separate elevator fund, I think it would be best if there was a separate fundraising push or donation to make it happen, which was the case with the broadcast fund and equipment fund, but if it's less than $400 per year for parts I don't think spending from the general f und is a big deal. Adding to the Slack post: I don't think $400 should necessarily be a cap on our budget for parts for the elevator, if it needs more than that. And I would encourage anyone interested in doing so to look into whether we can legally pay a licensed professional to fix the elevator and deduct the cost from our rent to the landlord. I also think it would be excellent for people to donate money to Zach through PayPal for his work on the elevator, outside of Noisebridge funds. I donated what I could, which is unfortunately not much right now. I'm all for people being paid for their work, but know that Noisebridge itself can't afford to pay for all the critical work that has to be done to keep the space operating.

The Play Сalled "The Crucible"
The play is called "The Crucible" which was composed in 1953 and as it is based on a real story it is more considerable. It was embeded in 1692 in Salem, Massachusetts. The play is appropriately called, as a "Crucible" is a pot in which Witches stirred and conjured spirits around. This is an important title as it offers you an interesting concept to what the play is about. Arthur Miller composed the play due to the McCarthy witch hunts which were occurring around the time when it was composed.
Miller had actually learnt about the witch hunts in Salem considering that his college years and chose to write a play based on the occasions of 1692.
He studied court records of the people which had actually been accused and adapted his story so it had more appropriate language used. The political situation in the 1950's was that McCarthy had simply become senator and made a commanding speech about "communist seepage," likewise at this time America was an extremely spiritual country and from then on the McCarthy witch hunts had started.
The House of Un-American Activities Committee was formed [McCarthy's group] and they had the power to do just about anything they wanted.
All of this integrated together probably set off Miller to write the play that made a mockery out of the occasions in the 1950's and of those in 1692 in Salem. In this essay I mean to explain what has actually occurred in Act 1. and how tension and thriller is built up. "The Crucible" was embeded in Salem, in 1692 which was a theocracy. Everyone believed in God so greatly, that anybody who did not was believed to be in touch with the Devil and consequently implicated of witchcraft. Obviously due to the fact that of this the audience can now understand the issues and pressure the characters were under, since of the stress developed by the stringent rules and laws.
Whatever people did was based around the bible. Salem is a Christian village and as a result of everyone trying to follow the guidelines all the time, it suggested kids needed to be seen and not heard. This forced children to rebel and one of the main ways to show your annoyance was to get involved in witchcraft, which was the total opposite of what the theocratic society required from you. This is paradoxical as the precise same occasions were occurring when Miller wrote the play.
The play was embeded in spring which is unusual as we associate spring with new life, a fresh start or happiness at the fact that the dark season has now finished, whereas in the play it appears to be related to death and evil. The Devil and darkness represent evil which is apparent throughout the play regardless of the joyous season. At the start of the play there is an overture which sets the style for the rest of the play. There is a lady laid in bed in the black of the night. There is a male knelt by the side of the bed in which he seems to be praying.
This spooky atmosphere creates thriller and tension and makes the audience wonder what has occurred. It offers you the sensation that something bad has actually occurred here and the man is wishing the girl's survival. The candle-light next to her bed signifies a twinkle of hope for the girl. The remainder of the room is sparse and in complete obscurity other than for one tiny window which allows light however is partly obstructed by bars. The steel bars on the window aid develop a currently tense feel about the place as they indicate that they are there to obstruct someone or something from getting in or out.

One can only bite one's tongue so long before it begins to hurt.
Watching last Thursday night's farcical episode of the Electoral Area C 'Incorporation Hearings', pushed me over the top – ouch!
The September meeting was bad enough, with the chairperson continually commenting about the benefits of incorporation. Wasn't this committee supposed to be impartial, with an open mind, and only arriving at a decision after all of the evidential hearings were concluded?
As for the last week's October meeting, what a waste of time. Following an opening statement by the Columbia Shuswap Regional District's expert adviser, the camera focused solely on sheets of written material, ad nauseam. The poor lighting not only often made these pages illegible, but the camera remained focused in one spot for as long as 10-15 minutes without moving, while displaying three items on a page. There were no photo shoots of the speakers, and the background noise was often distracting, to the point of drowning out the speakers.
Unable to see who was speaking or watch their delivery, we soon found ourselves bored to tears, and craving the excitement of shows such as Let's Make a Deal or Days of Our Lives. Truly a painful experience, hopefully never to be repeated.
As for questions from the general public, does Karen Brown, a staunch supporter of everything Mr. Demenok and the CSRD proposes, really fool anyone? If this standard of televised proceeding actually qualifies as a valued evidential hearing to help us taxpayers (thousands of residents) formulate an educated decision on incorporation, then you may as well conduct the vote now. Truly disappointing.

Shares of lifting equipment maker The Manitowoc Company, Inc. (MTW) are climbing more than 3% Thursday morning at $10.68. Its 52-week range is $7.24- $18.55. There have been no stock-centric news that influenced the upward movement. However, the US stocks are moving sharply higher in morning trading, with Nasdaq reaching a new record intraday high. This follows the release of a Labor Department report showing another record spike in employment in the month of June.
In May when the company reported first-quarter earnings, it said it was anticipating lower demand due to the Covid19 pandemic to continue in the near term. The company has reduced its production levels and a set of cost reduction actions are in place.
The stock has recovered nearly 50% from its 52 week low of $7.24 touched in April.

Oilfield scale deposition is a common problem causing production deferment, safety issues, and equipment damage. This paper presents the laboratory testing data and some field data for barium sulfate (barite) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) scale control. It demonstrates possible synergetic scale inhibition effects and successful field implementation based on laboratory results in a produced water stripping system. Literature shows barite scale can be effectively prevented by phosphonate inhibitors and polymer inhibitors. Effective ZnS scale inhibitors are not commercially available, so dispersants are commonly used to suspend the ZnS scale particles in production fluids carrying the particles through the system without deposition.
Ten scale inhibitors were evaluated for this system: Product A (combination of phosphonate inhibitor and ZnS dispersant); Product B (polymer inhibitor), Product C (polymer inhibitor), Product D (chelator), and Product E (chelator), Product F (phosphonate inhibitor + polymer inhibitor), Product G (phosphonate inhibitor + polymer inhibitor), Product H (phosphonate inhibitor + polymer inhibitor), Product I (phosphonate inhibitor + polymer inhibitor), and Product J (phosphonate inhibitor). Aerobic bottle tests, anaerobic bottle tests, and kinetic turbidity tests evaluated the potential scale risk at various scaling conditions including ∼3,000 mg/L SO42-, 1.1-78 mg/L Ba2+, 0.56 -5.6 mg/L Zn2+, 25-250 mg/L H2S, and pH (3.2-7.5). Product F (phosphonate/dispersant) prevented barite and ZnS most effectively in lab testing but was incompatible with the process system, so Product G, the second best performer, was field trialed. Product C prevented barite scale formation at low dosage and eventually prevented ZnS formation at very high concentrations.

The slowing economy could affect the summer job market for teenagers and college students, according to a new survey.
Of 1,101 hiring managers surveyed by online job site Snag AJob.com, which specializes in hourly positions, almost half said they do not intend to hire additional help during the summer. Many of these managers recruit for retailers and restaurants.
The survey has a margin of error of 3 percent.
Employers who are forgoing summer hiring said they don't have the budget this year to add seasonal employees (31 percent). Another 18 percent said they expect business to be slower.
"With so much uncertainty about what's going on in the consumer front, hiring managers are reluctant to staff up too much with new folks," says Shawn Boyer, chief executive officer of SnagAJob.com.
What that means is that competition could be stiff for summer jobs.
High school and college students will compete with each other for open slots, but they could also find a labor market where adults also are looking for summer jobs, the survey suggests.
The survey found that 61 percent of hiring managers believe the biggest competition will come from other students. But 20 percent said they also expect economic pressures to force other job seekers to enter the summer labor market.
"Those are the folks we refer to as supplemental [income earners]: People who work a full-time job and now need to have a second job to supplement their income, or it's a spouse who had not worked but now needs to work a part-time job to supplement the overall family income," Boyer says.
For businesses still hiring seasonal summer help, 93 percent expect to receive the same number or more applicants than last year.
Most of the jobs (64 percent) are expected to go to workers who have held jobs at the hiring company, with the rest going to new employees, according to the survey.
But it's not all bad news. The survey also found four out of 10 hiring managers identified a positive attitude and an eagerness for the job as the most important things they look for in an applicant.
Here are some summer job hunting tips from SnagAJob:
Start the search as early as possible. The survey found 76 percent of hiring managers expect to fill positions by May.
Have a positive attitude both during the interview and on the job.
Widen your job search by applying online and in person. Follow up with places where you really want to work with an in-person visit, which shows initiative.
Be flexible in your availability. Employers want workers who are available according to the company's needs.
Send your stories, tips and questions to email@example.com. Please include your first name and your city.

With the celebration of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness turning 20 years old, we take a look at a piece of memorabilia from the album's first music video, "Bullet With Butterfly Wings". The music video features stars that were hand-cut from copper metal. One of these stars (pictured) is signed by the entire band!
The song went on to win the 1997 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance!
Note: When asked why the band chose "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" for the first video and single, Billy Corgan responded "the record company did a survey of K-Mart shoppers between 30 and 40 and this is the song they came up with". "This is the blue light special", said Chamberlin.

Amidst these economic calamities arose an emphasis on the market by Tory governments. Conservative political discourse attacked progressive teaching methods in Wales. It highlighted dilapidated school buildings and outdated technology in the classroom in an effort to add urgency to their claims that Britain's economy and status in the world was under attack. In addition, such arguments claimed that education was the primary method for staving off such advances, and that the conservative movement was what was needed for British pupils to lead the way in saving the British state.

Edwards also engaged in public confrontations with other educators, particularly the members of the Central Welsh Board. Edwards was convinced that the introduction of new intermediate schools in Wales would result in a further dissemination of Anglican influences, influences he felt were a direct threat to the expression of Welsh culture in schools in Wales. These conflicts slowed the general development of secondary schools in Wales and served to weaken Edwards' position in education with both educators and parents (Jones and Roderick 2003).

EastEnders praised by bereavement charity for highlighting parental death with heartbreaking Jack Branning storyline
How Scott Maslen finally told his on-screen brood their mums have died sparked debate
EASTENDERS have been praised by a leading bereavement charity for how they have handled the aftermath of Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell's double death.
Ronnie's widower, Jack Branning, has spent the last five days lying to little Matthew, Amy and Ricky about where their mothers are, repeatedly lying to them off and telling them that they have "gone away" together.
In reality they both drowned after Ronnie's New Year's Eve wedding to Jack at a fancy hotel, with the pair of them lying dead in a swimming pool as the clock struck midnight.
Dr Shelley Gilbert MBE, founder of Grief Encounter, explained that while the soap has done a great job at raising awareness of how to tackle bereavement and telling children that they have lost a parent, Jack has done it all wrong.
Speaking to The Mirror, she said: "The storyline currently being shown on BBC One's EastEnders is so important to highlight the real struggle parents have when telling their young children that mummy or daddy has died.
"In the soap, Jack is having a very 'real' response in not knowing when and how to tell the children; raising awareness that groups such as Grief Encounter are very much needed to offer guidance and support on how to communicate effectively with young people.
"One child in every classroom will experience bereavement by the time they reach 16 years of age.
"Telling children 'Mummy has 'gone' is confusing and doesn't convey the finality of what's happened.
"A parent should be honest and open, using age appropriate language and manner, allowing the child to understand and grieve fully."
It's not only the experts who think that Jack has handled the delicate situation badly.
Viewers have also slammed the character on Twitter for skirting around the issue, wishing that he had been more direct for their sakes.
One commented: "Jack really needs to tell the kids the truth because they might here it from someone else and that's going to be even worse #EastEnders."
