Maersk Drilling revealed Tuesday that the firm has taken delivery of its first ultra harsh environment jackup, Maersk Intrepid (482' ILC), from the Keppel FELS shipyard in Singapore on time. Maersk Intrepid will start its mobilization to the Norwegian North Sea in approximately two weeks, where it will commence a four year contract with Total E&P Norge AS.
Maersk Intrepid is the first in a series of four newbuild ultra harsh environment jackups to enter Maersk Drilling's rig fleet in 2014-16. The four jackups represent a total investment of $2.6 billion. The first three jackups, including Maersk Intrepid, will be delivered from the Keppel FELS shipyard in 2014-2015, and the fourth will be delivered from the Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) shipyard in South Korea in 2016.
The Maersk Intrepid will be drilling the demanding and complex wells on the Martin Linge field development in the Norwegian North Sea. The contract includes four one-year options. The estimated contract value for the firm contract is $550 million.
Facts about the new ultra harsh environment XL Enhanced jackups from Maersk Drilling
With a leg length of 678 feet (206.8 meters) the rigs are the world's largest jackups and are designed for year round operation in the North Sea, in water depths up to 492 feet (150 meters). Uptime and drilling efficiency are maximized through dual pipe handling. While one string is working in the well bore, a second string of e.g. casing, drill pipe or bottom hole assembly can be assembled/disassembled and stored in the set-back area, ready for subsequent transfer for use in the well bore thus reducing the non-productive time. The drill floor features Multi Machine Control - a fully remote operated pipe handling system allowing all standard operations such as stand building and tripping to be conducted without personnel on the drill floor thus ensuring a high level of consistency across crews and an improved efficiency.

Want to lead your next group meeting, but aren't sure what to
do first? Follow these guidelines and it'll be easier than you think!
1. Schedule the Meeting
scheduling your meeting, consider the information that must
be covered, then allocate an appropriate amount of time. Don't
try to cram too many agenda topics into a 30-minute meeting.
You'll end up going overtime and attendees will become frustrated.
On the other hand, don't schedule too much time or the meeting
may become slow-moving and get off-topic. Our advice? Being
realistic is the best way to allocate an appropriate amount
of time for a meeting.
Don't get caught up on halves and wholes. Many people will automatically allocate
either 30 minutes or a full hour when scheduling a meeting simply because these
quantities of time are common and expected. Schedule a 40-minute meeting if
that's the amount of time it takes to cover the subject. Don't feel pressured
to fill an hour if you don't have an hour of issues to cover.
Carefully consider who should be attending the meeting. Only invite those whose
attendance is absolutely necessary. If there's someone who should know what
happened in the meeting, but whose attendance isn't absolutely necessary, send
them a quick e-mail outlining the outcomes of the meeting. All of us already
attend too many meetings. These individuals will be thankful for that one extra
meeting they DIDN'T have to attend that week.
2. Create the Meeting Information
When sending invitations to a meeting, ask attendees if they have any agenda
item requests. Once the agenda items have been requested, the agenda must be
created at least one day before the meeting is scheduled. This way, you can
distribute the agenda to all of the attendees before the meeting begins.
3. Distribute the Meeting Information
When participants have the agenda and access to background information before
the meeting, it gives them sufficient time to prepare for any discussions or
decisions that will occur during the meeting. This also saves time during the
meeting. If attendees come to the meeting prepared, less time will be spent
answering background information questions and more time for discussing the
important issues. When distributing the agenda, remind participants that it's
their responsibility to come prepared to the meeting!
4. Lead the Meeting
Start your meeting on time! Even if all the attendees haven't arrived, begin
when you said you would. Adhering to the schedule sends out a message that you're
serious about the meeting and expect attendees to arrive on time.
As the meeting begins, provide an overview of agenda items and introduce the
overall objective of the meeting. This provides direction for the meeting and
reinforces what needs to be accomplished during this time. Introduce each agenda
item by mentioning who will speak next and what will be discussed.
As the meeting leader, you're responsible for recording the meeting notes,
whether it's on an interactive whiteboard, flipchart or in a notebook. This
will free participants from the burden of note-taking and encourage richer,
more in-depth discussions.
It's also your responsibility to keep the meeting on track. This means steering
the meeting discussion in a way that fulfills the meeting objectives. If you
have difficult personalities in the room or opposing views, this can be challenging!
Try using sentences such as, "That's a valid point, but doesn't directly
apply to this discussion. Perhaps we should schedule a separate meeting to address
it fully." Or, "It's obvious there are some opposing views
surrounding this issue. Perhaps our time would be best spent working towards
a compromise. Any suggestions?" If a meeting becomes particularly heated,
it's best to address what's possible in the meeting but consider hiring a professional
facilitator for the next meeting a neutral leader who's trained to deal
with high-pressure, high-conflict meetings.
Items that surface and must be addressed should be assigned during the meeting
discussion. Assign a particular individual or group to follow-up on each action
item. A deadline and priority level should also be assigned for the action items.
5. Wrap-up the Meeting
At the end of the meeting, the leader should review the action items,
who's responsible and by when. This way, everyone has a clear picture of who's
responsible for what when the meeting's over.
Another item that should be addressed at the end of your meeting is the meeting
process itself. Take a few moments at the end of the meeting to discuss what
the group did well during the meeting and which areas need improving.
Once the meeting objective has been accomplished, adjourn the meeting. Even
if it's thirty minutes earlier than expected! Don't continue meeting simply
because that's what the schedule dictates.
6. Provide the Meeting Information
After the meeting is over, send the meeting information to all the participants.
Because you were responsible for note-taking during the meeting, you may be
the only one who has this information after the meeting ends. Whether you provide
the notes by e-mail or photocopied hand-outs, sharing this meeting information
is vital for proper follow-up. It's also a good idea to include a summary of
all the action items assigned during the meeting. This acts as a reminder to
all participants of who's responsible for what and by when.

text: A few Hasselblad items for sale. #1: Sonnar 150mm F/4.0 C T* lens in Poor/fair condition with issues. First off the lens does work but it has a bad scratch in the center of the front element. Surprisingly this scratch doesn't show up in the images as long as you use a good hood with it. I use the bellows lens hood with all my Blad lenses. Second, when you wind the camera to re-cock the shutter the aperture doesn't always open up all the way, it stays at what ever you have the f/stop ring set at, but if you manually turn the f/stop ring to the F/4.0 setting the aperture will stay open at F/4.0 for focusing. The shutter speeds all work but a good CLA should fix everything but the scratch. The focus is smooth but as I said this lens has been used a lot so it is not like a new one. The exterior finish is in rather good shape (see the pix). No caps but it will be packed very well. $150.00 #2: A no-name tripod quick release block that fits the Hasselblad baseplate. $10.00 #3: Quick Focus Lens rings #1 and #2. both for $15.00 All items sold as is, no return, no guarantee.

Viet Nam may begin producing bird flu vaccines for humans next year, according to the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology's director Nguyen Tran Hien.
HA NOI – Viet Nam may begin producing bird flu vaccines for humans next year, according to the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology's director Nguyen Tran Hien.
The institute, which started researching development of the vaccine in 2005, is now producing an experimental version of the vaccine and testing its safety and effectiveness.
"These tests will facilitate the production and use of the vaccine for humans," Hien said.
The institute plans to carry out clinical trials of the vaccine at the end of this year, said Hien, adding that their research results would then be submitted to Ministry of Health.
The institute's statistics showed that between 2007 and 2010, there were 5 to 7 people contracting bird flu each year in Viet Nam. The cases were reported in provinces across the country, and most people had become infected after being in contact or eating poultry during the end of winter and beginning of spring. However, there is still no concrete proof that the disease can be transmitted from human to human.
Bird flu has re-emerged in ten provinces across the country, including Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri, Soc Trang and Ha Nam. Concerns have grown over bird flu recently as the virus is mutating into a new form that will require the development of a new vaccine.
Hien warned that unless proper preventive measures are taken, more people may catch bird flu. – VNS

Deal Divas live-tweeting the Emmy's Sunday
I was just thinking, "I could really use some good news."
The Lord, he doth provideth. THE EMMY'S ARE ON SUNDAY. Sure, it's not like I won the lottery or got a middle of the night visit from Clooney holding a 12-pack of Diet Coke, but it's something. Awards shows are a timeless bastion of good cheer.
So I'll be watching, and live-tweeting all the red carpet tomfoolery from our Deal Divas account, @dealdivas. Join me as we all wish for yet another year that our beloved adopted stepsister Tina Fey had chosen to wear color, to observe that Ryan Seacrest is so tan he's verging on eggplant, to wonder if the 47-year-old Glee actors resent playing high school juniors and singing harmony to Avril Lavigne songs.
Let's cast our troubles aside, friends, and get totally stupid. Red carpet action starts at 6 p.m.

Specific Fellowships
Updated 8/6/14
1. Snapshot
2. Outline
3. Other Description
4. Eligibility
5. Website
The Rhodes Scholarship is to OXFORD UNIVERSITY.
About 32 awards a year covering all costs.
Smith endorsement required.
Final campus deadline end-September.
Begin application in SPRING JUNIOR YEAR.
Some British Commonwealth and German students can apply in their home countries (see International Students).
Investments in individuals rather than in project proposals.
Initiated in 1902 according to the Will of Cecil John Rhodes, the first American Rhodes Scholars were elected in 1904.
A British colonial pioneer and statesman in southern Africa, Mr. Rhodes graduated from Oxford in 1881.
Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and the three-country Rhodesian Federation, was named for Mr. Rhodes, who began his career in the South African mining industry.
One to up to three years study and/or research for a graduate or undergraduate degree at Oxford University in England.
A postgraduate degree course is strongly recommended.
A second bachelors degree may be chosen instead (see June 2005 Rhodes Trust bulletin).
Rhodes Scholars may also be eligible to receive D.Phil. funding after completing a one-year M.Sc. or M.St. in the same field, or after a two-year M.Phil. or M.Sc. by research where the D.Phil. dissertation is an expansion of the masters' research, as long as the department indicates that the doctoral work can be completed within three years of matriculation.
Also, the way it works in the UK is that students normally complete a Masters degree first which then counts towards a PhD.
Popular one-year degrees include the M.Sc. in Environmental Change and Management, the M.Sc. in Forced Migration, the M.Sc. in Economics and Development, the M.Sc. in Comparative Social Policy, and the M.Sc. in Medical Anthropology, and to the brand new M.Sc. degrees in African Studies and Global Health Science (public health).
While Rhodes Scholars are allowed to hold the award for one year only when they elect to do only one one-year degree, the Oxford experience is exponentially enhanced for those who remain for two or more years rather than just a single year.
Additionally, there is an affiliation between the Rhodes Trust and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) whereby Rhodes Scholars are able to apply to receive funding from the NIH to complete their Oxford doctoral research jointly at the NIH and at Oxford.
The most advantageous time to register for a fellowship is in the spring, starting mid February.
Statistics show that those who register earlier fare far better.
The deadline to register for the Rhodes is the end of August.
Petitions to register later may be considered from students who show exceptional promise to be successful in fellowships competitions.
Graduating senior at least 18 but not yet 24 years old on October 1 of application year.
Eligibility criteria are updated periodically.
Check the Rhodes website for current rules: www.rhodesscholar.org
Intellectual distinction.
Academic prominence.
Interest in and respect for others.
Ability to lead.
Possess the energy to use talents to the full.
Sports or other demonstrations of physical vigor enabling energetic and effective contribution to society.
The essential prerequisite is to be of an academic standard equivalent to the likelihood of being admitted to one of the most selective graduate schools in the U.S. in the area of primary interest.
An ability to talk with passion, backed by thoughtful, mature information, about the things you care about, to be a person willing to fight the world's fight.
Mr Rhodes's Will contains four criteria by which Rhodes Scholars are selected:
- Literary and scholastic attainments.
- Energy to use one's talents to the full, as exemplified by fondness for and success in sports. [That you are an energetic person can be demonstrated in a number of ways.]
- Truth, courage, devotion to duty, sympathy for and protection of the weak, kindliness, unselfishness and fellowship.
- Moral force of character and instincts to lead, and to take an interest in one's fellow beings.
A Rhodes covers the cost of studying or conducting research at Oxford, plus the Scholar receives about $1100 or more a month for living
expenses, totaling about $28,000 a year.
The Rhodes Trustees award 32 scholarships in the United States each year.
Must be U.S. citizen.
In 2002 there were 981 applicants endorsed by 319 colleges (almost three per college) = about a 3.25% chance.
This is the most prestigious fellowship and also the most competitive. Minimum 3.6 GPA.
The states of the U.S. are divided into 16 Election Districts, each with
about the same size pool of applicants, determined on
three-year rolling averages, and adjusted periodically as necessary.
Rhodes applicants will apply as a representative of their state – either the state of residence or the state of college or university training.
Each district selects two Rhodes Scholars-elect.
Applicants' academic proposals are also evaluated in Oxford for suitability with Oxford programs and feasibility within the Oxford
Final course selection occurs after Rhodes winners are announced and before Oxford admission.
It is almost impossible to change course after this.
Consult the University of Oxford at www.ox.ac.uk
Plan to begin your application early Spring Semester of your junior year.
All applicants (including graduates) require formal Smith endorsement and Americans apply in Massachusetts or in the state of their legal residence.
While only citizens of the United States are eligible for the Rhodes Scholarships awarded in this country, Rhodes Scholarships are offered
in more than 20 other jurisdictions.
Several of these constituencies regard their citizens who study in universities in the United States as eligible for their own competition.
Citizens of Bermuda, Canada, the Commonwealth Caribbean (Anguilla, Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Kitts-Nevis, St.Lucia, St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago), Jamaica, Kenya, Singapore, Zambia and Zimbabwe are thus eligible to apply in their own constituencies on the basis of degrees from American universities.
Further information about these competitions is available on the Rhodes website, www.rhodesscholar.org.
Click "Non-U.S. Citizens" on the home page.
The elections in virtually all of the other participating constituencies take place before the elections in the United States, and any eligible students would be well advised to inquire early.
Citizens of only Britain are not eligible in any country.
A Briton who holds dual citizenship is eligible in the non-British country provided that country offers the Rhodes.
ALUMS: If you are not in graduate school or are a first-year graduate student, then apply through Smith.
If you are a second-year (or beyond) graduate student, apply through your graduate school.
For more detailed information please review the June 2005 Rhodes Trust bulletin here.
(Word Doc.)
For Rhodes application and interview strategies from past winners, look at the Live to Learn Fellowships Resource link here.
The Rhodes Scholarships, the oldest international fellowships, were initiated after the death of Cecil Rhodes in 1902, and bring
outstanding students from many countries around the world to the University of Oxford.
The first American Scholars were elected in 1904.
Rhodes Scholars are elected for two years of study at the University of Oxford, with the possibility of renewal for a third year.
All educational costs, such as matriculation, tuition, laboratory and certain other fees, are paid on the Scholar's behalf by the Rhodes Trustees.
Each Scholar receives in addition a maintenance allowance adequate to meet necessary expenses for term-time and vacations.
The Rhodes Trustees cover the necessary costs of travel to and from Oxford, and upon application, may approve additional grants for research purposes or study-related travel.

Graduate Fellowship
Fellowship Abroad
British Fellowship (Oxford University only)
- 3.8 minimum, intellectual distinction, leadership
- (Community involvement, contribution to society, leadership or initiative, all count as much as grade level. Fellowships = character, not intellectualism alone.)
U.S. citizens & citizens of many British Commonwealth and a few other countries
Only graduating seniors in application year, or graduates, at least 18 but not yet 24 years old on October 1 of application year.
- Approximately $28,000 per year for up to three years, typically two. Rhodes Scholars may also be eligible for D.Phil. funding after completing a one-year M.Sc. or M.St. in the same field,or after a two-year M.Phil. or M.Sc. by research where the D.Phil. dissertation is an expansion of the masters' research, as long as the department indicates that the doctoral work can be completed within three years of matriculation.
- The award covers the cost of study and/or research at Oxford University as well as $1,100 or more for living expenses per month.
- Rhodes 3.25% or 1 in 25
- It is prudent for seniors applying for high-odds fellowships (Gates, Luce, Marshall, Mellon, Mitchell, Rhodes) seriously to consider also applying for the Fulbright which, even though easier to win, carries immense prestige through its high name recognition.
- The Fulbright is an ideal gap year for those planning to go on to graduate school.
- Much material prepared for one fellowship application can be modified to fit another.
- It is recommended that graduating applicants work also with the Career Development Office so that fellowship applications form part of an overall postgraduate planning strategy. Contact them at x2570 or x2582.

USADA Police Report At Florida MTB Race
It isn't everyday that the United States Anti-Doping Administration shows up to a mountain bike race in Florida. It also isn't everyday that the police are called after some major confusion on how to proceed with the situation. However, it happened this past weekend in Tallahassee.
The race was the first event of the 2012-13 Florida State Championship Series. Many Florida CXers were in Tally taking part in the festivities. During the end of the first race a little disturbance occurred when the Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) was called to the scene due to a disagreement between the promoter/official and representatives of USADA.
The promoter of the event, Dave Berger, is very well respected in the South East region and has been in the business for years. His company is responsible for over 30 weekends of racing all across the area. He is responsible for putting on many series, including, the South East Regional Championship Series (SERC) which has the USA Cycling designation as USA Cup East Series.
What follows is the police report filed by the Tallahassee Police Department after their call to the event. We have removed the contact information of those involved, but kept their names as they appear in the police report.
Editorial Opinion:
As a participant at this event myself, I'm of two minds. While I fully and completely support USADA's stated mission of Anti-Doping, I found this particular control to be extremely haphazard and unprofessional. We have checked with others who were directly familiar with the incident and all share a similar story; the representatives from USADA were not willing to identify themselves in a clear manner to the promoter/official and to race participants.
I am of the opinion that if USADA wants to be taken seriously they must behave professionally, and follow a standard for in-competition controls. I am not talking about the standards of "chain of command," but event standards with the promoter, officials and riders. Do it right, or don't do it at all. Doing it this way just makes Lance Armstrong's nonsense arguments against USADA look like they might have merit, and why on earth would someone want to do that?
In conclusion, it was a game of telephone that got wildly out of control with confusion all around and resulted in perhaps the strangest police report we have ever come across.
Update 9/12/12 @ 3:09pm:
We have shut down the comment section to this thread as we felt it was getting beyond a reasonable debate on the issue and into personal attacks on a situation that many were not familiar with. If you have concerns about this you can feel free to email us as email@example.com and we will communicate with you via that method.

2016 is a great time to be a geek. Our interests are flourishing in the mainstream, with comic books and video games getting the star treatment and all the amazing new future tech pouring out of Silicon Valley. It is an especially great year for geeky fashion, and it's easier than ever to fill out your wardrobe with nerdy essentials. Check out this list of the eight things you need to get your geek on this year.
What You Need to Be The Fangirl You've Always Known You Can Be
A wide variety of tees and tops is a solid base for any wardrobe, but especially for a fashionable nerd. A good mix of both graphic tees proclaiming your favorite fandoms and tops that can help you stealth cosplay are always good to have on hand.
Now that you've got your arms covered, you need the legs part of the outfit, and dude, there are a lot of leg parts available out there. Or, as they're better known, pants. Or leggings. Or skirts. You've got choices, and here are a few good ones.
Most places in the world get cold occasionally, which means most people need warm clothes of some kind. A good sweater or jacket is absolutely necessary for a complete wardrobe.
Get dressy, but not too dressy. A nice casual dress is great for a fun day out, a convention or just your average workday when you need a little nerdy pick-me-up.
Ready to get real dressy? When you've got to be fancy, you don't want to be unprepared, so here are a few snazzy choices to help you steal the spotlight.
Cover up those toes (or don't) with some excellent geeky footwear.
Glitter and shine with these fantastic statement pieces or their subtler counterparts.

ST. PETERSBURG — The losses have piled up for the Rays this offseason, with another Saturday as reliever Dan Wheeler signed with the Red Sox. While principal owner Stuart Sternberg is optimistic his team can remain competitive, he also is realistic about the difficulties given the soaring cost of free agents.
"It's discouraging," Sternberg said from the Sanderlin Family Center in St. Petersburg, where the Rays staff helped build a playground Saturday. "If guys were available who were really in our price range, we would have a lot more selection."
The choices are even more limited because Sternberg is cutting payroll — "a bunch" — from the franchise-record $75 million at the end of last season.
How much is unclear, Sternberg said, a product of what moves they consider worthy of making and, to a lesser degree, what moves their competitors make. As of now, they have close to $40 million committed.
"It's clearly going to be down a bunch from … last year. It's going to be up from … when we started (about $30 million by the end of 2006), and there's a wide gap in there," he said, noting they went to the World Series in 2008 with a $43 million payroll. "So I really don't know. It's a question of what's available."
The Rays knew retaining All-Star leftfielder Carl Crawford, whom Sternberg said "was special to me," wasn't a possibility. Sternberg hasn't heard from Crawford, but on seeing him get a seven-year, $142 million deal with the Red Sox, Sternberg said: "God bless him. Good luck to him, and I'm thrilled we and he were able to put him in a position to take care of his family for generations to come."
Wheeler, 33, who lives in Seminole, said there was mutual interest in staying with the Rays, whom he rejoined in July 2007. But Boston offered what the righty politely termed a better situation — a $3 million salary for 2011 and another $3 million in a vesting option for 2012.
"I wouldn't trade any of my time in Tampa Bay for anything," said Wheeler, who went 2-4 with a 3.35 ERA and three saves in 64 games last season. "It's unfortunately part of the game, the business side of it, and you move on. … Obviously, I'm from Rhode Island, and (the Red Sox) were my team growing up. So I'm definitely excited about it."
The Rays didn't offer Wheeler arbitration, so they don't get any draft pick compensation.
Obituary: Phil Cavarretta, who in 1945 won the National League MVP while leading the Cubs to their last World Series berth, died Friday in Lubbock, Texas. He was 94. The first baseman played 20 years with the Cubs before playing 77 games for the White Sox in 1954-55.

São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil, 2011/09/08 - State-of-the-art air-to-air equipment meets Companys stringent criteria - Embraer.com. NYSE: ERJ; Bovespa: EMBR3
Embraer Defense and Security has chosen Cobham, with headquarters in Dorset, England, to supply the wing-mounted aerial refueling pods for the KC-390 military airlifter and tanker jet.
Embraers innovative KC-390 airlifter and tanker jet requires stringent criteria to be met by its suppliers, said Eduardo Bonini Santos Pinto, Sr. Vice President Operations & COO, Embraer Defense and Security. Cobhams vast aerospace experience and more than 75-year history bring proven expertise and products for the quality Embraer pursues.
The aerial refueling pods are sophisticated devices installed underneath the wings and allow fuel transfer from the KC-390 to the receiver aircraft during the air-to-air refueling operations. Fuel transfer is accomplished via a retractable hose, at the end of which is fitted a drogue and fuel coupling which provides the connection to the probe of the receiver aircraft. After refueling, the hose and drogue is rewound and stored in the pod. The whole operation is controlled and monitored by the tanker crew via control panels and video cameras.
Following the announcement, Iain Gibson, Vice President of Cobham Mission Equipment said: Cobham Mission Equipment is delighted with the news of its selection by Embraer and the Brazilian Air Force to provide the wing-mounted air refueling pod solution for the KC-390. This represents a significant program to Cobham Mission Equipment, following a rigorous competitive tendering process serving to underline the companys position as the world leader in providing such systems. We are proud to be a supply partner to Embraer and are confident that our pods will provide an excellent air-to-air refueling capability for the KC-390.

text: It seems that whenever Leica is mentioned, the only cameras talked about are their M series rangefinders. The only time I have ever seen the R series SLRs mentioned was in an article about the R8 being the only 35mm camera to have an interchangeable digital back. The Rs seem to be the estranged brother to the Ms that nobody ever talks about. How do the R cameras fit in the grand scheme of things? On KEH I see R cameras and lenses selling along the same pricelines as Nikons and Canons. How do the R lenses compare with their M series brethren? How rugged are the bodies? My Nikon FM3a, which I terribly regret selling, seemed solid enough that I could club someone over the head with it and they would be worse off than the camera. Do the Rs have this same sense of solidity, and are they capable of running without batteries, as the FM3a was? Lastly, why does everyone seem to ignore these cameras, especially when priced very favourably compared to the vaunted M series? - Justin

Florida Muay Thai LLC
The Florida Muay Thai LLC owners and trainers, Paul Marfort and Robert Mosier, have studied the ancient fighting style from coaches around the world, learning and competing in tournaments as far away as Italy, Uruguay, and South Africa. But at home in their studio, they're less concerned with shaping new competitive fighters as they are with making muay thai accessible to students of all ages, abilities, and walks of life. Classes—available for both kids and adults—focus on correct stance, pad work, bag work, and boxing drills, and also aim to foster a sense of camaraderie among students through teamwork. What's more, a special women's-only self-defense class is also taught at the studio. The course doubles as a high-intensity cardio workout as students learn potentially life-saving skills and gain the strength and confidence to handle all sorts of situations.

Taxi actress Marilu Henner has been hiding an incredibly rare superpower - she has a medical condition which enables her to remember almost every day of her life in vivid detail.
The star, 58, is one of few people in the world with superior autobiographical memory, which was first diagnosed by neurobiologist James McGaugh in 2006.
Henner was unaware of the official term for the abnormal ability until her close friend, TV journalist Lesley Stahl, began researching it for a case study about violinist Louise Owen on U.S. news show 60 Minutes - and realized the similarities between the musician and the actress' conditions.
Stahl says, "When I first heard about this research, what surprised me was not that this condition existed, but that it was considered so rare. That's because it sounded like a description of a friend of mine."
Interviewed on 60 Minutes, which aired on Sunday (19Dec10), Henner tells Stahl, "I can rattle off almost every time I've seen you... It's like putting in a DVD and it queues up to a certain place. I'm there again, so I'm looking out from my eyes and seeing things visually as I would have that day." (MT/WNWC/JMA)

AQHA hosts National Day of the Cowboy
Sat, 27 Jul 2013 22:02:43 GMT —
The American Quarter Horse Hall of Fame hosted quite the event July 27, 2013 as they celebrated the National Day of the Cowboy.
AQHA invited people to visit their Hall of Fame, free of charge, to learn and celebrate about the western heritage and cowboy way of life.
Visitors enjoyed entertainment including Pokey the Clown's Junior Ranch Rodeo, trick ropers, and horse rides.
Many children, with huge smiles, explored the grounds dreaming of being in the saddle and what it would be like to be a cowboy.
One excited visitor explained how she made her very own cowboy rope.
"They take you up there to pick your color and then it's kind of like weaving," said visitor, Mykenzi Williams "You turn the thing they attach the string to and it makes a braid."
After Williams made her rope she ventured over to the roping dummies to try out her cowgirl skills.
AQHA said the event's goal is to teach about the American cowboy and the American Quarter Horse.

There are few Hindi films that I find as worthy of repeated viewing as The Burning Train. I've probably seen it 20 or 30 times over the years and at least three times in the last 18 months. On Wednesday, it was running on UTV Movies, and so I was left with no option but to watch it again. (It was running in the background while I was working from home. Stop judging.)
There are so many interesting, even unique things about The Burning Train. First of all there is the ensemble cast—basically everybody from the contemporary film industry except Amitabh Bachchan.
Then there is the meticulous attention to detail and the excellent stunt work. Also The Burning Train is one of those few movies which is unabashedly high context. Usually film-makers dumb down films instead of offering audiences the small joys of making a mental leap now and then. So nobody in the film even bothers to explain what a vacuum brake, a proceed signal or an inclined siding is. The viewer is, for a change, expected to work those things out for himself.
On Wednesday, however, I closely noticed Vinod Khanna's character for the first time. Khanna plays a super-smart railway engineer who constantly chooses work over family. Again, and credit is due to the film-makers, he isn't portrayed as one of those clichéd, heartless brutish workaholics that populate most films and TV shows. Instead, he seems like a nice enough guy with a mildly flawed set of priorities.
I've been meeting a lot of Vinod Khannas lately.
Earlier this week, I met a friend for a working lunch. I arrived at my meeting 15 minutes late to find my friend a single fired nerve-ending away from a nervous breakdown. "Why did you come so late yaar? I have to be back by 2pm. If I get late then what people will think? Already I am feeling guilty for taking such a long lunch break…"
This is not a management trainee on probation or a summer intern. This is someone with nearly a decade of work experience, the last six years of which have been in a senior managerial capacity.
Yet somehow he is still reduced to a nervous, blathering wreck at the very thought of taking a longish lunch break. The guilt oozes from his pores.
Then a few days later I met another Vinod Khanna. We were chatting, meanderingly, about household expenses and how to trim them when he told me how he'd been paying for an expensive gym for months, but hadn't managed a session since December.
Why not?
"Arrey too much to do in office man. I can't get out before 8pm."
Surely he could leave a little early? Or work out during his lunch break? Or even start the day a little late, after a workout?
No, no and no were his answers, respectively. Apparently, if he took the time off to work out a little, it would "look bad" to his other over-worked colleagues.
How do companies manage to infuse us with such guilt? How do faceless organizations—often ones we don't even particularly like—make us feel so delinquent just because we take an occasional long lunch, or set aside time to stay in shape?
I've always wondered about this. Usually, I attribute this to a vague mixture of social and professional value systems and upbringing.
While watching The Burning Train on Thursday, however, I was reminded of a research paper a reader sent me a few months ago, that I'd never gotten down to reading. She'd told me it had something to do with how children were seeded with the idea of work.
So I dusted out the PDF file, as it were, and read it.
Titled Time, Work-Discipline, and Industrial Capitalism, the paper was published by renowned British Marxist historian E.P. Thompson in December 1967.
Despite a title that makes it sounds like a bad business school textbook, the paper is an erudite, literary piece of work. In it, Thompson suggests that one of the "non-industrial" institutions that was used to turn people into workers for the industrial age was the school.
He quotes one 18th century educational reformer who wanted children to be sent to work from the age of four: "There is considerable use in their being, somehow or the other, constantly employed at least 12 hours a day, whether they earn their living or not; for by these means we hope that a rising generation will be so habituated to constant employment that it would at length prove agreeable and entertaining to them…"
In other words, send kids to school and keep them there for hours at a time, thus preparing them to quietly slave away in factories.
This thesis, I think, neatly explains our guilt problems at work. The child who is petrified of turning in his homework late today, will go into apoplexy over a PowerPoint presentation tomorrow.
It may be too late to work the Victorian malice out of our adult souls. But perhaps there is still time to save our children. Are they hunched over homework? Immediately give them a break and make them see The Burning Train.

Do babies cry in yellow rooms? Fellow Color Consultant, Beth Burns, tracked down this article quoting Carlton Wagner, Color Psychologist. It's evidence that this myth is based on Mr. Wagner's personal opinion of the color rather than actual fact or scientific studies.
He also said the brand Giorgio perfume was making a huge mistake by choosing yellow for its packaging. I don't know about you, but this yellow and white striped box is an '80's icon for me. I personally owned several bottles of the stuff and never considered "declassifying" or "inexpensive" when purchasing.
Yellow is a messenger that gets your attention. Here's an example of classic OSHA standards caution tape.
More Info:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requirements are often non-specific with regard to size, color and wording of markings. To provide uniformity among organizations and industry, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has designed color schemes and sizes for marking hazards. (See EZ Facts Document No. 201.) The color code identifies the type of hazard, which helps the employee identify the level of severity. It is meant to reduce the possibility of injuries. OSHA outlines the color code for marking physical hazards in 29 CFR 1910.144. In areas where OSHA does not cite specific requirements, the ANSI standard is followed. The following chart represents the color codes of both ANSI (Z535.1-1998) and OSHA.
Does the yellow box make Cheerios more cheery?
Rachel and I both recommend this book if you're interested in one author's adventure tracing color across the world.
Monticello™ Yellow by Ralph Lauren.
Using light-reflecting pigments to recreate the luster of the original paint, Ralph Lauren's newest shade lends depth and an inviting warmth to any décor.
More about yellow. Click onpicture to read Rachel's prior blog post about yellow when she was a guest blogger on Decor8.
School bus yellow is a color which was especially formulated for use on school buses in North America in 1939. In April of that year, Dr. Frank W. Cyr, a professor at Teachers College, Columbia University in New York organized a conference that established national school-bus construction standards for the U.S., including the standard color of yellow. The color is now officially known in Canada and the U.S. as National School Bus Glossy Yellow and was originally called National School Bus Chrome. The pigment used for this color was, for a long time, the lead-containing chrome yellow. The color was adopted by the National Bureau of Standards (Now the National Institute of Standards and Technology) as Federal Standard No. 595a, Color 13432. Source

What's most important is the ability for drivers to recognize a vehicle for what it is rather than its colour, says report.

I assume you are already using our cheat tool by now and enjoying your free gems and coins. Let's talk about getting some tips and strategy for you to get ahead easily in this game. Here are most of the top players guide you can follow.
Your best defensive weapon is your tower, The big secret to clash Royale, is your best defensive weapon is your towers. So try to play on your side of the arena as much as possible especially when starting out the match. Defend and then push, patients win matches.
Do not start expensive, I never like to start up my match with my win condition combo or with an expensive elixir card. This just leaves you too vulnerable to a strong push in the other Lane as your opponent will have a big elixir advantage.
Spend your gold wisely, Don't level up all your cards, pick your favorite win condition support and defensive cards and then level them up first. You can always pick up new favorite cards in the future but gold is a very scarce and valuable resource. You don't want to spend it needlessly on every card in the game if you don't have to.
Do not make the first move, Let your opponent make the first move in a match or the very least make sure you wait until you're at ten elixirs before you play your first card. Being reactionary is the best way to start a match.
Push the opposite lane, When your opponent is preparing to make a big push in one lane, say they drop a giant or a golem behind their King tower always throw something in the opposite lane. Make them commit some of their elixir to defending over there.
Place the tank in the back during first 2 minutes, When starting a slow push, always place your tank behind your king tower. Never build a push from the river, always build it from the King tower and then stacked behind.
Know thy enemy, Understand what your opponent is trying to do early on in the match. Too many times we concentrate on our own decks and our own strategy and we don't even realize what the opponent is trying to do. Clash Royale is like a chess match, you have to know and understand your opponent in order to consistently win.
