STRATA Goggles
Like disc brakes and suspension, goggles are as essential to mountain biking as they are to motocross. But, all-too-often, mountain-bike-specific goggles overlook the importance of tear-offs. Thankfully, all 100% Goggles, like the Strata Goggles, include tear-off tabs. Finally, the proper integration of technologies.
100%'s philosophy on compatibility makes the Strata goggles one of the best values on the market. The lenses are interchangeable with 20-plus aftermarket lenses, and all tear-off accessories including roll offs. From the Strata to the top-of-the-line Racecraft, you can receive the same level of visibility that motocross racers demand.
The Strata frame's feature a urethane construction that's both durable and flexible. As for shape, 100% designed the frames with an anatomically conforming curve that's at once comfortable, without detracting from your field of vision. Residing between you and the Strata's chassis is a dual-layer foam that'll comfortably fit your face's contours to lockout dirt. It's also designed to pull perspiration away from the skin and quickly evaporate it. This means a few things -- less funkiness, a reduction to chafing, and a no more steamy lenses.
The 100% Strata Goggles are available with a Clear Lens and in the frame colors Black Lime, Black Mandarina, Blue Lagoon, Fire Red, Ice Age, and Sunny days. Every pair of goggles come with an anti-fog Lexan lens and a 40mm wide strap that's coated with silicone.
- Entry-level bike goggle offering elevated comfort and performance
- Anti-fog, scratch-resistant lens for unimpaired vision
- Flexible yet durable urethane frame is made to last
- Dual-layer face foam soaks up sweat for rapid drying
- Wide, silicone-backed strap keeps them securely in place
- Lens curvature designed for a wide field of vision
- Tear-off compatible for sloppy race conditions

Any chance these will work with eyeglasses under them? I realize it's a long shot but I cycle commute in winter, don't wear contacts, and would like to not freeze my eyeballs out.

I decided to get goggles since I sweat so much that glasses have a hard time staying in place when I go over roots and chunder at speed. These offer a wide field of view, up and down as well as side to side, that has improved my riding. What's really impressive to me is how fast they defog once you get rolling and how clear they stay. The only downside for me is that they force my Troy Lee A2 helmet into an up-tilted position more than I'd like and they fit tight around my nose, enough that I can't really breath through my nose once they slip down a bit. I'll select my next goggles on how well they fit with my helmet.

do they come with 2 lenses?

Nope, just one clear.

Great price-point for some rad goggles. These fit well with my full-face helmet and I can also wear them with my half-shell enduro helmet and not look like a goof. Great job 100%.

These goggles are amazing! Super clear optics and love the big field of vision for riding. Easy change to a different lens when needed and the tear offs are perfect in muddy conditions. Love that it is all included

I snagged a pair of the 100% Strata goggles recently since my DH days have been skyrocketing, and my older goggles were getting beat up from careless handlebar placement and brake levers. Definitely no weird smells from mine, as mentioned in another comment, just a comfortable fit and great visibility. The silicone gripper is great on it, since my helmet doesn't have a proper clip to hold on to my goggles. Would definitely recommend these for someone looking for an inexpensive DH goggle option.

Out of the box, this goggle smells badly. It feels cheap and flimsy. I'm surprised at the highly rated reviews. I've used high end goggles before, and these are not quality. Made in China, and probably accounts for the stink. I guess you get what you pay for. I'm returning it.

I remember my face used to be all black and dirty from riding downhill wearing sunglasses. Boom, this fixed it. Protects me from dirt & bugs. This is probably weird but I actually get excited for running into bugs with these goggles - probably for all the times they've gotten me when I was wearing regular shades. They're light and replacement lens are cheap. Go for it

I use them mainly for enduro riding and some harescrambles. They are inexpensive and work great. They fit oh so well, dont fog up unless your really sitting still and exerting alot of energy. Multiple back up pairs in my garage.

Few things are more stressful for a business owner than a failing roof. Since it's so important to both your reputation and the safety of your customers, there can be no delay in replacing one that has sprung a leak or worse. But with so many commercial roofers to choose from, it's critical to pick the right one. Here are three qualities to look for.
When researching roofing contractors st charles county mo, you'll encounter dozens of companies. The ones that should go to the top of your list are those with reputations for trustworthiness. So ask each roofer to provide you with testimonials from previous customers. You'll be working closely with the roofer throughout the process, so making sure they are prepared to address any questions and concerns you might have is critical. If they can quickly demonstrate a history of satisfied customers, you'll feel better about using their services.
Check that a prospective commercial roofer is fully licensed to do the work. They should be able to provide you with a state license number and be in good standing with organizations such as the Better Business Bureau. It can be time-consuming to verify the integrity of each roofer you're considering, but the effort will enable you to make the best possible choice under stressful circumstances.
Given that many roofing problems are the result of sudden damage, you may need the work done as soon as possible. So make sure the roofer you hire has

For $360 this app will make your bed for you
By Danielle Pinkus|
There's just something so satisfying about a well-made bed, but between finding a clean shirt and working out what to have for breakfast, not all of us have the time, nor the mental capacity, to pull up our blanket every morning.
Thankfully, Smartduvet, a new app, is here to save people who want all the benefits of a made bed, but can't commit the effort it takes to make it happen.
Smarduvet works via a lattice-shaped balloon which is attached on top of the standard duvet mechanism within the duvet cover (which sounds like it would make your duvet feel stiff, but anyway).
A compressor, which sits beneath the bed, inflates the balloon so it unfurls to spread your duvet neatly over you sheets and pillow— the catch? The duvet needs to be properly aligned.
To combat this issue, there's a series of clips for users to secure the bottom of their duvet cover in place at the foot of the fitted sheet.
There's also a set of clips which attach the head of the cover to the top sheet so it doesn't get left behind. However, the top sheet becomes pretty redundant once it's attached to the duvet, so if you were to buy this app you probably wouldn't bother with one.
The app inclusion comes into play by allowing users to remotely schedule an appropriate time for the bed to make itself.
All of this will cost you upwards of $360, which, depending on your personality, may or may not be worth the 10 seconds a day it saves you by not having to make your bed.
Something tells us this invention came about after a bunch of uni students had a few too many drinks at the pub.

Martin Le Pape wins Figaro Prologue
In sunshine, on flat calm seas and in a pleasant 10-12 knot breeze the 36 skippers competing in the Solitaire Urgo-Le Figaro enjoyed themselves this lunchtime. The prologue in the bay off Le Havre was raced at good speed with the course completed in less than ninety minutes. Martin Le Pape, (Skipper Macif 2017) was the winner, just 27 seconds in front of British sailor, Alan Roberts (Seacat Services). Sebastien Simon (Credit Mutuel Performance) took the remaining place on the podium while in the rookies category, the sailor from Granville in Normandy, Calliste Antoine came out on top aboard his "Sponsor Wanted". Calliste's blank hull will be painted pink by Sunday to display the colours of his new partner, ImmoNew.
The start of the first stage of the 2018 La Solitaire URGO Le Figaro is next Sunday, August 26 in Le Havre. All 36 La Solitaire URGO Le Figaro skippers, the support personnel and boats have assembled. The race village in Le Havre opened Tuesday, August 21 at 1000hrs for a busy week of entertainment.
Quantum Racing Lead on the Bay of Palma

After a breezy, spectacular Rolex TP52 World Championship in Cascais last month, the Bay of Palma served up a typical Pandora's Box of sea breeze delights for the first three races of the Puerto Portals 52 SUPER SERIES Sailing Week.
Although the general trend was for the gains to be made on the right side of the upwinds on the three windward-leeward races contested, it was never that simple and straightforward and there were small gains and losses to be made all the way through each race.
Three different teams won races today: Platoon, Provezza and Azzurra, but it is the 2018 circuit leaders Quantum Racing that top the regatta leaderboard. After a second, fourth and a second, the crew, which is led by owner-driver Doug DeVos is four points ahead of a logjam of four boats that all accumulated 12 points over today's first three races of this, the fourth regatta of the five that constitute the 2018 52 SUPER SERIES.
Regatta standings after three races:
1. Quantum Racing (USA) (Doug DeVos) (2,4,2) 8 points
2. Provezza (TUR) (Ergin Imre) (4,1,7) 12
3. Azzurra (ARG/ITA) (Alberto Roemmers) (6,5,1) 12
4. Alegre (USA/GBR) (Andres Soriano) (3,6,3) 12
5. Phoenix (RSA) (Hasso/Tina Plattner) (5,3,4) 12
6. Luna Rossa (ITA) (Patrizio Bertelli) (7,2,6) 15
7. Platoon (GER) (Harm Muller-Spreer) (1,10,8) 19
8. Sled (USA) (Takashi Okura) (8,9,5) 22
9. Gladiator (GBR) (Tony Langley) (10,7,9) 26

Pearson Potts Wins Chicago Grand Slam Grade Two
Chicago, IL - The US Grand Slam Grade 2 Series kicked off this weekend in Chicago, and Pearson Potts, from Newport, RI won the 2018 Chicago Grand Slam by defeating Chicago-regular, Chris Poole in Finals. Potts sailed a great series and was at the front of the pack the whole regatta. Poole, however made quite the comeback from 7th place in the round robin. In the petite-finals, last year's winner, Will Holz defeated Aussie Finn Tapper for 3rd place. The fleet of sailors included thirteen skippers from all over the world, ten of which were ranked in the top 100 World Sailing International Match Racing Rankings.
Sunday's breeze was light and unstable, and the sea state was extremely choppy from the motorboat wake of hundreds of Chicago Air & Water Show spectators. The quarter-finals were quick and easy, when all four pairs were decided 2-0: Tapper over Lowery, Potts over Curtiss, Poole over Boulden and Will Holz over Peter Holz. Poole's experience in these challenging Chicago conditions proved a weapon over Boulden. But Poole's skills weren't enough to defeat Potts in the Finals, and Potts won 2-1 over Poole to take the overall win. Will Holz made an impressive comeback in the elimination rounds as well, starting in 6th place at the beginning of the day and ending in 3rd when he won the petite-finals 2-1 over Finn Tapper of Australia.

2018 International 14 World Championships - Day 6
Air of tension within the boat park - things are getting serious and the winds dropping allowing the lighter crews the chance to hit the front.
After a postponement ten seconds before the start of Race 5, which would have been a general recall, the fleet turned around for the restart. Left or right or up the middle? Most of the fleet hit the left and a few intrepid skiffs went right - left won and plenty hitting the port lay line. Dan Holman/ Alex Knight (GBR 1556) came in hot and tacked just in front of Andy and Tom Partington (GBR 1559) - their lead didn't last long as 'Penguin Dance' quick stepped over the top of them down the first run.
Tight covering by the Partingtons, father and son duo, allowed the British team to haul in another win - their third in five races. This leaves them fourth overall and discards come into play after the next race. Currently Neale Jones/ Ed Fitzgerald (GBR 1553) are heading the overall table with two Aussie skiff teams alongside them on the podium for now. The German crew, Borkenstein/Dietrich (GER 28), built for heavy winds, had a mid fleet performance but still very much in contention (if the breeze follows through as forecasted). -- Simon Butterworth

The winner of the Gdynia President's Award for the best sailing yacht design at the Wind and Water Boat Show in Poland this year was the N'Fun 30 sailing yacht, locally made in Poland by N'Fun Yachting from Gizycko.
Markek Stanczyk, one of the owning partners of N'Fun Yachting, is a national sailing champion in Poland and the winner of World Cup Match racing regattas.
"It may sound strange, but N'Fun 30 is a yacht for sailing - not for tourism, living on or display in the port," said Stanczyk at the awards ceremony. "It weighs only 2,300kg, it is stable but fast, has a black mast, black sails, a lot of carbon fibre inserts. The most beautiful view is outside. Its interior can be custom finished to the owner's requirements. The Gdynia Yacht Design 2018 award is our assurance that what we do, we do well."
Speaking to IBI at the show, Stanczk said: "The project started with three friends who have been sailing together since we were young. The business started four years ago with our own factory and we have a target to build five boats per annum.
"The boat is not a race boat but designed as a fast, fun boat suitable for shallow waters. It looks sporty but is easy to sail - the equivalent in car terms to an Audi A5.
The N'Fun will be exhibited at the Southampton Boat Show in the UK in September and dealers have already been established in France, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands and the UK.
After 20 years, the Auckland On Water Boat Show will return to The Viaduct Basin and Te Wero Island in 2019, the NZ Marine Industry Association announced today.
Events manager Stacey Cook said that the return to where the show started 20 years ago is fitting tribute to the success of New Zealand's largest on-water boat show.
The 2018 Auckland On Water Boat Show, which runs from September 27-30, is the last time the show will be held at the Viaduct Events Centre, as Team New Zealand will be taking over the site as its America's Cup base.
They have already taken occupancy of the top floor and will be moving into the remainder of the Events Centre immediately after the show.
The MIA has been working hard planning for 2019 and beyond, and securing the new show site at The Viaduct Basin and Te Wero Island.
The 2019 show will be held around the same time in September.
Pendennis Shipyard (Holdings) Ltd, the parent company of the UK group associated with superyacht new-builds and refits, has reported a record turnover of £52m for 2017 - a 12% increase on the previous year. In 2017, 87% of the turnover came from exports compared with 69% in 2016.
In a year in which the shipyard experienced its busiest winter refit season with 11 projects running simultaneously at one point, the group saw its profit arising from 'normal operations' increased by 3.6% to £3.4m, representing 6.5% of turnover. This corresponds with a profit of £3.3m in 2016, equivalent to 7% of turnover.
In the annual accounts filed with Companies House, the UK businesses registration office, Pendennis reported that there were one-off items in 2017. These were respectively, again on the disposal of surplus assets of £828,514, and a provision included in creditors amounts falling due within one year of £2.2m for settlement of a long-term incentive share plan, the targets for which have been satisfied post year-end.
Out of the 2017 turnover, the cost of sales accounted for £39.9m compared with £35.7m in 2016. This resulted in Pendennis's 2017 gross profit rising to £12.5m against £11.1m in 2016. After taxation and the two exceptional items, the group ended 2017 with a net profit of £1.6m compared with £2.8m in 2016.
Team Paradise Sailing in Miami, FL has developed a steering system that enables quadriplegics and other severely disabled individuals to sail and control the helm of a small sailboat. The system is light weight, reliable, cost effective and can be installed by a layman in less than 1-minute and it removes just as quickly. The 4-Helm360 has been tested on the weighted centerboard version of RS Venture with great success.
For some background information on development of the 4-Helm360 please refer to the article "Life after the Paralympic Games - Plotting a new course for sailors!" published in Scuttlebutt Sailing News in October 2016. Several versions later, the 4-Helm360 is now Patent Pending. "Our goal is to provide exciting and thrilling state-of-the-art performance sailing for people with disabilities, without necessarily having the entire crew being disabled," says Magnus Liljedahl, Executive Director of Team Paradise Sailing.

The Quebec Act of 1774 (French: Acte de Québec), formally known as the British North America (Quebec) Act 1774,[1] was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain (citation 14 Geo. III c. 83) setting procedures of governance in the Province of Quebec. The Act's principal components were:
The 1774 Act had wide-ranging effects, in Quebec itself, as well as in the Thirteen Colonies. In Quebec, English-speaking immigrants from Britain and the southern colonies objected to a variety of its provisions, which they saw as a removal of certain political freedoms. Canadiens varied in their reaction; the land-owning seigneurs and ecclesiastics were generally happy with its provisions although the populace resented their loss of liberties.[2][3]
In the Thirteen Colonies, the Quebec Act, which had been passed in the same session of Parliament as a number of other acts designed as punishment for the Boston Tea Party and other protests, was passed along with the other Intolerable Acts, also known as the Coercive Acts. The provisions of the Quebec Act were seen by the colonists as a new model for British colonial administration, which would strip the colonies of their elected assemblies. It seemed to void the land claims of the colonies by granting most of the Ohio Country to the province of Quebec. The Americans were especially angry that the Act established Catholicism as the state religion in Quebec.[4] The Americans had fought hard in the French and Indian War, and they now saw the provisions given to the former enemy as an affront.[5]
After the Seven Years' War, a victorious Great Britain and a defeated France formalized the peace with the 1763 Treaty of Paris. Under the terms of the treaty, the Kingdom of France ceded New France to Britain, choosing instead to keep the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique for their valuable sugar production. Canada (New France) was considered less valuable, as its only significant commercial product at the time was beaver pelts. The territory found along the St. Lawrence River, called Canada by the French, was renamed Quebec by the British, after its capital city. Non-military administration of the territories acquired by the British in the war was defined in the Royal Proclamation of 1763.
Under the terms of the peace treaty, Canadiens who did not choose to leave became British subjects. In order for them to serve in public offices, they were required to swear an oath to the King that contained specific provisions rejecting the Catholic faith. Since many of the predominantly Roman Catholic Canadians were unwilling to take such an oath, this effectively prevented large numbers of Canadiens from participating in the local governments.
With unrest growing in the colonies to the south, which would one day grow into the American Revolution, the British were worried that the Canadiens might also support the growing rebellion. At that time, Canadiens formed the vast majority of the settler population of the province of Quebec (more than 99%) and there was little immigration from Great Britain. To secure the allegiance of the approximately 90,000 Canadiens to the British crown, first Governor James Murray and later Governor Guy Carleton promoted the need for change. There was also a need to compromise between the conflicting demands of the Canadien subjects and those of newly arrived British subjects. These efforts by the colonial governors eventually resulted in the enactment of the Quebec Act of 1774.
The internal communications of the British colonial government at Quebec suggest a relative failure of the purpose of the Quebec Act. On 4 February 1775 Governor Guy Carleton wrote to General Thomas Gage that he believed the Canadians to be generally happy with the Act, yet he also added:
[...] I must not however conceal from Your Excellency, that the Gentry, well disposed, and heartily desirous as they are, to serve the Crown, and to serve it with Zeal, when formed into regular Corps, do not relish commanding a bare Militia, they never were used to that Service under the French Government, (and perhaps for good Reasons) besides the sudden Dismission of the Canadian Regiment raised in 1764, without Gratuity or Recompence to Officers, who engaged in our Service almost immediately after the Cession of the Country, of taking any Notice of them since, tho' they all expected half pay, is still uppermost in their Thoughts, and not likely to encourage their engaging a second Time in the same Way; as to the Habitants or Peasantry, ever since the Civil Authority has been introduced into the Province, the Government of it has hung so loose, and retained so little Power, they have in a Manner emancipated themselves, and it will require Time, and discreet Management likewise, to recall them to their ancient Habits of Obedience and Discipline; considering all the new Ideas they have been acquiring for these ten years past, can it be thought they will be pleased at being suddenly, and without Preparation embodied into a Militia, and marched from their Families, Lands, and Habitations to remote Provinces, and all the Horrors of War, which they have already experienced; It would give appearance of Truth to the Language of our Sons of Sedition, at this very Moment busily employed instilling into their Minds, that the Act was passed merely to serve the present Purposes of Government, and in the full Intention of ruling over them with all the Despotism of their ancient Masters.[8]
In the same communication, Carleton observed that the Act was not a permanent solution:
[...] It may be further observed, that the Act is no more than the Foundation of future Establishments; that the new Commissions and Instructions, expected out, are not yet arrived, and that the Dissolution of the present Constitution, if it deserves the Name, and Establishment of the new one, are still at some Distance;[9]
About 4 months later, Carleton's apprehensions regarding the ability of the French-Canadian nobility and clergy to rule over the people are proved right. On June 7, after having received word of the Battles of Lexington and Concord, as well as the capture of Fort Ticonderoga and Benedict Arnold's subsequent raid on Fort Saint-Jean, he wrote to Colonial Secretary Dartmouth:
My Lord! The 19th of last Month in the Evening, I received Intelligence from General Gage by Sea of the Rebels having commenced Hostilities in the Province of the Massachusetts, and Requesting I would send the 7th Regiment with some Companies of Canadians and Indians to Crown Point, in order to make a Diversion, and favour his Operations. [...][10]
The little Force we have in the Province was immediately set in Motion, and ordered to assemble at or near St. John's; The Noblesse of this Neighbourhood were called upon to collect their Inhabitants, in order to defend themselves, the Savages of those Parts likewise had the same orders; but tho' the Gentlemen testified great Zeal, neither their Entreaties or their Example could prevail upon the People; a few of the Gentry, consisting principally of the Youth, residing in this Place, and its Neighbourhood, formed a small Corps of Volunteers under the Command of Mr. Samuel Mackay, and took Post at St. John's; the Indians shewed as much Backwardness as the Canadian Peasantry. [...] [11]
Less than a month later, on 28 June 1775, Chief Justice William Hey wrote to the Lord Chancellor from Quebec:
[...] What will be your Lordships astonishment when I tell you that an act passed for the express purpose of gratifying the Canadians & which was supposed to comprehend all that they either wished or wanted is become the first object of their discontent & dislike. English officers to command them in time of war, & English Laws to govern them in time of Peace, is the general wish. the former they know to be impossible (at least at present) & by the latter if I understand them right, they mean no Laws & no Government whatsoever - in the mean time it may be truly said that Gen. Carleton had taken an ill measure of the influence of the seigneurs & Clergy over the lower order of people whose Principle of conduct founded in fear & the sharpness of authority over them now no longer exercised, is unrestrained, & breaks out in every shape of contempt or detestation of those whom they used to behold with terror & who gave them I believe too many occasions to express it. And they on their parts have been and are too much elated with the advantages they supposed they should derive from the restoration of their old Privileges & customs, & indulged themselves in a way of thinking & talking that gave very just offence, as well to their own People as to the English merchants.[12]
On 21 September 1775, Lieutenant-Governor Cramahé, who governed at Quebec while Carleton was in Montreal, wrote to Dartmouth on the failure to rally the people after word arrived of the impending invasion from the colonies to the south:
My Lord ! I am sorry to transmit to Your Lordship the disagreeable account of a disagreeable Business, some time in the Beginning of this Month, upon news of the Rebel Army approaching, General Carleton set out for Montreal in great Haste; the 7th instant the Rebels landed in the Woods near St. John's, and beat back to their Boats by a Party of Savages incamped at that Place; in this Action the Savages behaved with great Spirit and Resolution, and had they remained firm to our Interests, probably the Province would have been safe for this Year, but finding the Canadians in General averse to the taking up Arms for the Defence of their Country, they withdrew, and made their Peace. After their Defeat the Rebels retired to the Isle aux Noix, where they continued till lately, sending out some Parties, and many Emissaries, to debauch the Minds of the Canadians and Indians, in which they have proved too successful, and for which they were too well prepared by the Cabals and Intrigues of these two last years; We knew of their being reinforced, and very considerably, I suppose, as they appeared in Numbers near St. John's last Sunday Evening; where or when they landed, or the Particulars since, we have but very imperfect Accounts of, all Communications with the Forts of St. John's and Chambli, being, as far as I can find, entirely cut off. No Means have been left untried to bring the Canadian Peasantry to a Sense of their Duty, and engage them to take up arms in Defence of the Province, but all to no Purpose. The Justice must be done to the Gentry, Clergy, and most of the Bourgeoisie, that they have shewen the greatest Zeal and Fidelity to the King's Service, and exerted their best endeavours to reclaim their infatuated Countrymen; [...][13]
The Quebec Act angered the Americans and was termed one of the Intolerable Acts by the Patriots, and contributed to the coming of the American Revolution.
Frontiersmen from Virginia and other colonies were already entering that area. Land development companies such as the Ohio Company had already been formed to acquire ownership of large tracts and sell land to settlers and trade with the Indians. Americans denounced the Act for promoting the growth of "Papism" (Catholicism)[14] and cutting back on their freedom and traditional rights. In particular, the colonial governments of New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia were angered by the unilateral assignment of the Ohio lands to Quebec, which had each been granted them in their royal charters.[15]
Langston (2006) looked at press reaction in New England. Some colonial editors explained their views on how it reorganized Canadian governance, explaining how they felt it established direct rule by the Crown and limiting the reach of English law to criminal jurisprudence. Isaiah Thomas of the Massachusetts Spy drew links between the Quebec Act and legislation circumscribing American liberties, such as the Tea Act and the Coercive Acts. Editors shaped public opinion by writing editorials and reprinting opposition letters from both sides of the Atlantic. The First Continental Congress, which met from 5 September to 26 October 1774, addressed the inhabitants of Quebec, warning them of the perils of the increasingly arbitrary, tyrannical, and oppressive nature of British government.
The Quebec Act was never enforced outside the traditional boundaries of Quebec. Its main significance in the Thirteen Colonies was that it angered the Patriots, and dismayed the Loyalists who supported the Crown, and helped to accelerate the confrontation that became the American Revolution (Miller 1943). The Act is listed as one of the rebels' grievances in the Declaration of Independence as one of the "Acts of pretended Legislation ...
For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies"
The First Continental Congress petitioned Parliament to repeal the Intolerable Acts, which Parliament declined to do. Instead, in February 1775 Parliament passed the Conciliatory Resolution in an attempt to curry favor with the angry colonists. This was too little, too late, as the war broke out before news of its passage could reach the colonies.[16]
In Quebec the 1774 Act was effectively superseded by the Constitutional Act of 1791, which partitioned Quebec into two new provinces, Upper and Lower Canada.

Mobile Learning: Why Tech Savvy Educators Are Turning to Podcasts
As our world becomes more connected, podcasts are becoming the driving force behind a shift in the way we learn.
Technological advances are allowing educators to interact with their students with more engaging content than ever before. The best part is that these changes not only increase learning rate, retention, and recall, but are reaching millions of new students every year. This is mobile learning.
Infographic licensing
What is mobile learning?
Mobile learning, or mLearning, is a multifaceted learning experience that utilizes social interactions through mobile devices. In plain english, it's learning made mobile.
Mobile learning incorporates mobile technology into the learning process for the benefit of the student. It is not just limited to the classroom; mobile learning can take place in your office, living room, or during your commute to work. Considering how easy it is to make a podcast using podcasting hosting it's easier than ever to become part of the mobile learning movement.
So, why is mobile learning important?
Mobile technology, in the form of cell phones and tablets, is the fastest spreading technology in human history. While only 79% of the world has access to electricity, it is estimated that 75% of the world has a mobile phone. It is estimated that 2.3 billion cell phones have access to internet. This means that mobile technology is becoming the easiest way to reach the world's population.
While mobile technology is helping some educators reach around the globe, it's helping others better engage with the students in their classrooms. New applications help instructors track student performance, while podcasts and videos provide supplemental educational materials. The best part is that mobile learning is increasing classroom resources and quality while remaining extremely cost effective.
As educators continue to incorporate mobile technology into the learning process, students are increasingly being asked to bring their cell phones and tablets into the classroom. At some schools mobile technology is so important that owning an iPad or similar tablet is becoming a requirement to admittance, as district and school administrators report an 86% increase of student engagement with the use of mobile learning.
Mobile learning is winning over students, educators, and is starting to attract the attention of big business. With mobile learning on the verge of a dramatic increase in impact and value, this market sector is expected to be worth $32 billion by 2020.
Despite all its benefits, mobile learning faces some hurdles.
The hurdles of mobile learning
As an emergent technology, mobile learning is experiencing some growing pains. There are at least three major challenges that educators have identified with introducing technology into their classrooms: upfront costs, screen time, and student distraction.
Wait a minute - how can mobile learning be cost effective, but also be cost prohibitive? Upfront costs. With iPads costing upwards of $500 and the average US classroom size in the low twenties, it costs over $10,000 dollars to equip a single classroom with tablets. This staggering number does not account for technical support, teacher training, or software.
Mobile learning is cost effective because with double digit increases in student engagement and memory retention, more students are keeping up with the class. Additionally, teachers can cover more material and students are more likely to engage the materials outside of the classroom. After the technology is in place, schools are able to save in other areas of their budgets; check out how Boise State's mobile learning program is cutting textbook costs.
The problem with the upfront costs is that its hard for schools to determine who should be paying for these phones and tablets. Many economically disadvantaged students can barely afford a school lunch, let alone a $500 tablet. Teachers already dig into their paychecks to provide their students with supplies, and the LA Unified School District has scrapped its plan to buy iPads for each student due to allegations of unfair bidding practices.
So when educators attempt to incorporate mobile technology into the classroom they face the challenge of finding the money to pay for it. That's the first hurdle.
The second hurdle is screen time. Many educators, and parents, are starting to become more concerned with the effects of prolonged screen time on brain development. Research is starting to indicate that too much screen time can be detrimental to the development of young children; early studies have found a relationship between screen time prior to age 3 and hyperactivity.
The third major hurdle is classroom distraction. In addition to talking, day-dreaming, note-passing, and spit-balls educators are finding themselves competing against Twitter, Instagram, and Angry Birds for their students attention.
To some educators the intentional introduction of additional mobile devices seems naive and counter intuitive. Other teachers have found that if they utilize mobile devices, and encourage their use, they get a different result. Students begin to feel empowered, instead of restricted, and they begin utilizing this technology to further engage with the content.
So how do educators incorporate mobile technology while limiting distractions and possibly harmful screentime? On top of that, who is going to pay for it?
The podcast solution
Tech savvy educators are beginning to see podcasting as an answer to these questions; podcasts are cheap, less distracting, and require minimal screen time.
Unlike mobile applications, podcasts do not require sophisticated hardware or expensive upfront costs. Podcasts are small audio files that can be easily streamed or downloaded by nearly any internet connected mobile device - devices that a majority of students in the US already have access to. While only 46% of American families own a tablet, at least 77% of American families have a smartphone at home. There are mp3 players, cell phones and wearable tech options for nearly every price point. Podcasts drastically reduce the upfront cost of mobile learning.
Podcasts help avoid issues with distraction and excessive screen time as well. Since podcasts are just audio files, they can be played by less sophisticated devices without the distractions of social media and games. Students can also put the screen away while they listen, thereby avoiding too much screen time.
Podcasts are an excellent solution to the major problems that face mobile learning. They have additional benefits.
The podcast advantage
In addition to answering the major problems facing mobile learning, podcasts are actually giving students advantages. Studies suggest (PDF)that humans are more likely to retain information they hear than information they read after a two week period. Combining reading and listening provides a multifaceted approach that caters to both visual and auditory learners.
Podcasts can also help disadvantaged students. Educators are familiar with utilizing audiobooks to engage visually impaired, dyslexic, or EAASL students. Podcast only further enhance the volume of materials that educators can utilize to reach these students.
Finally, many students and parents are already familiar with podcasts. Over 39 million Americans actively listen to podcasts and 63% of all podcasts are consumed using mobile technology. Podcasts provide a simple and familiar way for students to access class materials.
That's all great, but why would I play a podcast in my classroom?
You don't.
Podcasts don't provide much, if any, advantage over a live speaker. Why would you use a recording when you have a live speaker? Remember what we learned at the beginning of this blog post? Mobile learning is learning gone mobile.
Podcasts are allowing some educators to flip their classrooms; students can watch or listen to recorded lectures at home and then do their traditional "homework" in the classroom when their teachers are available. When teachers are available to help their students with their problems sets, labs, and writing assignments they showed a deeper understanding and comprehension of the class material. This also allows students to learn at their own pace; students who have fallen behind can listen to previous lessons, while more advanced students can begin exploring new podcasts.
Using podcasts in education is a win
Students win because they can listen to their lessons at their own pace in nearly any environment; they can listen to their podcast lessons at the gym or during their long commute home. Parents win because they do not have to facilitate hours of homework each night. Finally, educators win because they are able to interact with all of their students during class time. So…technically thats a win-win-win.
Mobile learning is changing the education experience in America and podcasting is leading the charge. Podcasts in education are portable, inexpensive, accessible, and interactive. Teachers are able to send their student home with lesson plans while providing them with more interaction in the classroom.

Nigel Farage: Labour's Failed Amendment Raises "An Interesting Point"
28 June 2017, 20:47
Despite Labour losing the amendment vote, Nigel Farage stressed that they have made a "very" good point.
The Presenter explained that "what Labour are asking for is for the government to scrap the 1% pay cap that is in place for increases in pay for 5 million public sector workers."
Farage joked that if Labour had won, we may be looking at "another general election".
He went on to say that: "It's been 7 years since people in the public sector have had more than 1% increase per annum.
"Inflation is up at nearly 2.5%, interest rates are set to rise.
"People on not very big salaries are finding life tough. And certainly if they live in London."
Weighing up the argument however, Farage pointed out "we're told by Oliver Letwin that if we pay more to public sector workers, it will mean tax increases."
Watch the full clip above.

What Your Denim Style Says About You
No matter what your daily life entails — traveling every week for work, chasing toddlers through playground tunnels, taking pups to the dog park or meeting friends for Thursday night shuffleboard league — jeans have become THE staple item in your wardrobe. Not only are they comfortable and versatile, but they are the key to transitioning from one style to the next with minimal effort. Just swap out your top and shoes and, Abracadabra! A whole new outfit emerges.
That being said, there are so many denim styles to choose from and, try as we might to branch out with different trends, we're usually sucked back into the gravitational pull of a certain perfect pair. So what does that tried & true style say about our fashion personality?
If trying different jeans is like the physical manifestation of reading tarot cards, what would we find out about ourselves? Does leaning towards classic, dark-washed bootcut jeans mean we're comfortable with traditional rules and wise in the ways of what fits our body best? Or, if we're up for trying a pair of high-waisted, 70's inspired flairs, are we more open to change and ready to spin the wheel of fortune?
It's fun to think about how getting dressed every day is more than just a required task, but a process that ultimately reveals a little something about the personality within. Here are 3 denim fits we love, and some ideas about what wearing them might reveal about you!
Leg-elongating and classic in cut, this style may seem unassuming, but definitely knows how to have fun! During the week you pair these with a white button-down and tailored jacket for lunch meetings and laundry, then—lookout weekend!—on go the cowboy boots and out comes your inner Shania Twain! The beauty of a bootcut life is that it stays steady in the face of tumult and then breaks out of the mold when it's time for a little excitement!
Versatile, playful and curve-hugging, this style is always up for a new adventure. Whether you're taking things to the edge with coated denim & artfully rendered rips, or keeping things streamlined with high-waisted, indigo-hued, ankle-cuts, skinny jeans love the hybrid life. Your personality calls for flexibility—who wants to be tied down to only one look?—and a forever young mentality that makes every day fun.
Business in the front, party in the back! This style is no wallflower and thrives on the addition of a little extra decorative dazzle. Maybe, on the outside, your personality seems a little quiet and demure, but stand back because just a quick spin reveals that there's a spark inside that can't be tamed! Mix things up by pairing this style with a bright sweater or stacked bootie, just know that whatever the look, it will never be boring.

It probably did not help that Monsieur Raynal was Titans Jersey
Ederson made sure he left Benfica for Manchester City with a bang. In the goalkeeper's penultimate Dolphins Womens Jersey league match for the Portuguese champions, not only did he keep his 17th clean sheet of the season, he also got an assist.A goal-kick from the 23-year-old led to Benfica's second goal in a 5-0 defeat of Vitória Guimarães. It was a kick that found the forward Raúl Jiménez on the edge of the Vitória penalty area, the Mexican controlling it with his feet before turning it into the goal with his head. But not only was Ederson's kick enormous, it was clever. It took advantage of the fact that his forward, dallying so far upfield, could not be found offside from a keeper's dead ball. It is a little-known rule but understandable; after all, who is going to kick it that far anyway?Prowess with the ball at his feet is thought to be a central reason why Pep Guardiola has made Ederson, depending on how you interpret historical exchange rates, either the most or the second most expensive goalkeeper in history. It is an incredible accolade either way, given that the record is held by Gianluigi Buffon, perhaps the greatest goalkeeper of all time. It is even more impressive when you consider Ederson has played only a season and a half as a regular at a major club.The Brazilian played as a youth for his hometown club of São Paulo, before Benfica took him to Portugal at the age of 16. Not Andrew Franks Youth Jersey uncommonly, the move did not work out and the teenager moved on, first joining the second-division side Ribeirão then Rio Ave. His performances with the Primeira Liga minnows persuaded Benfica they had made a mistake. The club brought Ederson back in a deal that cost them only €500,000 up front but granted Rio 50% of any future transfer fee (20% of which, in a not entirely surprising development, then goes to Ederson's agent, Jorge Mendes).Ederson arrived as understudy to his fellow countryman Júlio César, but when César was injured in March 2016 the younger man seized the gloves and never gave them back. His performances in domestic competition have been consistently assured but it was his display against Borussia Dortmund that got Europe's elite talking.Eventually humbled 4-0 in the return leg at the Westfalenstadion, Benfica won the first leg 1-0, but they would have lost that too were it not for the Brazilian. The standout moment was a penalty save from Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang. Ederson not only out-thought the striker by staying on his feet as the ball flew down the centre of the goal, but he completed the save with a club of a punch that drove the ball clear of goal.Ederson in action for Benfica during a Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund in which he showcased his talent.Facebook Twitter Pinterest Ederson in action for Benfica during a Champions Titans Authentic Jersey League tie against Borussia Dortmund in which he showcased his talent. Photograph:This was the second penalty that Ederson had saved in the competition but it was far from his only moment in the match. His speed of movement denied Ousmane Dembélé a goal from six yards out and the length of his reach allowed him to turn a Marco Reus 25-yard effort round a post. Best of all was a save from Christian Pulisic. The American's fierce volley from outside the penalty area took two deflections but still Ederson found a strong hand to turn it wide. Within a month, the Portuguese press reported that Guardiola had made a personal call to Ederson to persuade him to come to City."Ederson has all the talent to become a top-class goalkeeper," says Vitor Alvarenga, editor of the Portuguese magazine Maisfutebol. "The special ability that made Guardiola pay attention is that he is very strong with his feet, but Ederson also has not only the agility of a great Authentic Antwon Blake Womens Jersey keeper but the security too. I believe he will soon be the No1 keeper with Brazil.his footballing ability and the fact he recently renewed his Benfica contractgiven the travails of City's last big-money goalkeeping recruit Suddenly Warren Gatland is on the offensive, even publicly querying the legality of Super Rugby scrummaging, and the mangy, jet-lagged Lions of last week have morphed into completely different animals.It probably did not help that Monsieur Raynal was the official with the whistle in Chicago when Ireland defeated New Zealand last autumn; either way, the Frenchman's dislike of the pre-scrum engagement common in Super Rugby did not concern Gatland.

Several other benefits of Israel's policy of targeted killing became apparent
Prent debate
Supporting quotations
Steven R. David. "Fatal Choices: Israel's Policy of Targeted Killing". John Hopkins University. September 2002. - "from its heightened practice during the second intifada. First, targeted killings have impeded the effectiveness of Palestinian terrorist organizations where leadership, planning, and tactical skills are confined to a few key individuals. There are a limited number of people who have the technical ability to make bombs and plan attacks. If these people are eliminated, the ability to mount attacks is degraded. There is some evidence that targeted killings have reduced the performance of Palestinian operations. The large number of intercepted suicide bombers (Israelis estimate they stop over 80 percent of attempts) and poorly planned attacks (e.g. suicide bombers who appear with wires sticking out of their bag or detonations that occur with little loss of life) indicates that there are problems either with the organization of the operations or those available to carry them out. There are individual leaders whose charisma and organizational skills keep a group together. If they are eliminated, they are not easily replaced. Shikaki of the Islamic Jihad falls into this category."
Gal Luft. "The Logic of Israel's Targeted Killing". Middle East Quarterly. Winter 2003 - "Most important, claim the critics, there is no compelling evidence the killings are effective in reducing the terror menace.
This is exactly where they have it wrong. True, terror persists despite the assassinations, and the policy does have shortcomings. What is less apparent is the profound cumulative effect of targeted killing on terrorist organizations. Constant elimination of their leaders leaves terrorist organizations in a state of confusion and disarray. Those next in line for succession take a long time to step into their predecessors' shoes. They know that by choosing to take the lead, they add their names to Israel's target list, where life is Hobbesian: nasty, brutish, and short."
[...]To Terrorize a Terrorist
[...]the nature of Palestinian terror organizations is that they are secretive and compartmentalized. People hardly know each other. There are no headquarters, files, computers, radio equipment, or organizational memory. Removing one activist can handicap or destroy an entire cell, but removal of one cell does not necessarily bring down the entire organization.
Despite defiant Palestinian rhetoric, Palestinian activists' fear of being on Israel's target list is paralyzing, and that is exactly what Israel wants. Explained Sharon:
- The plan is to place the terrorists in varying situations every day and knock them off balance so that they will be busy protecting themselves.[22]
While on the run, the Palestinian terrorist's energy is devoted to survival rather than to planning the next attack. The terrorist detaches himself from his close circle of friends and family and begins to live a fugitive's life. He is forced to spend each night in a different location, often sleeping in the open field. Hours each day are wasted looking for a safe haven to spend the coming night. Most difficult is the distance from his home and family. He knows that any contact with his wife or parents could cost him his life. Consequently, he is completely at the mercy of his confidants, not knowing which one of them might be an Israeli collaborator.
Booby-trapped cars and telephones increase the feeling among Palestinian militants that the long arm of the Israeli security forces reaches their most intimate surroundings. They become nervous and suspicious of collaborators who might live among them. A Palestinian journalist conveyed the atmosphere of fear and confusion in the Palestinian street after Shihada's killing:
[...]Assassinations of military leaders are traumatic events in the lives of their organizations, often leading to a change in organizational behavior. Commanders become extremely suspicious and cautious. They leave few traces of their whereabouts; restrict information about operational planning to small groups of secret keepers; and recruit new members more selectively. The paranoid environment in which terrorists operate reduces their effectiveness drastically. Trust is the bedrock of any human activity, including terrorism. Without it, the organization becomes disjointed; information cannot be disseminated; people do not feel part of a team; lessons are not learned properly.
Additionally, communication between the different cells breaks down. Following the killing of Musawi, Hizbullah squads began to maintain strict radio silence, preventing Israel from monitoring the organization's action. In the territories, Palestinian militants who fear Israeli eavesdropping refrain from using the telephone to communicate with each other. This leads to further confusion and misunderstandings. Such a dynamic has a cumulative, holistic, negative influence on the organization's effectiveness. The influence cannot be precisely measured or even assessed by empirical tools, but it is certainly profound."

What Do You Mean We Didn't Get the Olympics?
Custom-furniture company Walter E. Smithe might want to get a hold of someone at NBC Chicago and remind them that running banner ads themed "2016 Olympic City Countdown" seems pretty ineffective, unless Chicago is counting down until the 2016 Summer Olympic Games start in Rio de Janeiro.
As of mid-afternoon Monday, Olympics-themed banner ads for Walter E. Smithe were still appearing on the NBC Chicago site, despite the International Olympic Committee's vote Friday to deny Chicago the right to host the 2016 Summer Olympics, instead granting the privilege to Rio.
The banner ads were removed later Monday afternoon.

"I don't want to have sex but my friends say that I have to or the relationship isn't real."
"Is it true that I'm supposed to have sex with him if he pays for the movie?"
"Where do I go if I get an STI? I don't know what to do."
"Can I get pregnant the first time I have sex?"
They want to know. Young people are desperately seeking information about how to safely navigate their sexual lives. Too often, I leave these conversations with a swirling mix of emotions. I am saddened that they know so very little about personal agency and protecting their sexual health. I am enraged because schools and communities consistently deny them this life-saving information under the guise of morality. I am worried about young women and girls who are frequently targeted for rapes and sexual assaults. I am frustrated because faulty ideas about comprehensive sexuality education in schools are still being used to influence policies. While decision-makers throw around rhetoric about sexual purity, these girls are existing in a world where approximately 50% of victims of sexual assault are girls under the age of 16.
There is the misconception that giving adolescents accurate information about their sexual and reproductive health will propel them into careless, unfettered sex. In reality, the opposite is true. When adolescents have sound, comprehensive information about the responsibilities associated with sexual activity, they are more likely to delay sexual activity. Those who are sexually active are more likely to adopt responsible practices, such as consistent contraceptive use.
This moral grandstanding is particularly ironic given the shocking numbers of statutory rapes around the world. Frequently, girls under the age of legal consent are sexually assaulted. Yet, some people are concerned about "corrupting" girls with information while the true violations are the sexual violations they suffer. The outrage should be reserved for the fact that, for 30% of women worldwide, their first sexual experience was forced and rape increases women's vulnerability to HIV infection.
So answer their questions. They deserve to know.
Tell our girls and young women that their bodies are their own and that no one has the right to coerce them into any sexual activity. Tell them that any and all forms of rape and sexual assault are wrong and that the blame lies fully with the perpetrator. Educate them that sexual harassment is never a woman's fault and that no woman ever 'invites' rape. They deserve to know.
Tell them that they have the right to comprehensive education about all aspects of their sexual and reproductive health. Tell them they have the right to wait until they can, and want to, give legal consent. Make sure they have all the information necessary to make wise decisions about their sexual lives. Explain that sexuality is neither evil nor dirty. It is a topic that requires honest, factual engagement so that young people have the tools to navigate this arena confidently and safely.
Tell them all the ways to reduce the risk of unplanned pregnancies and contracting STIs. Abstinence, while valid, is not the only answer and they should not be shamed into thinking so. Explain to our girls and women that they have the right to determine if and when to have children. No one should be confused and uncertain about where to access information, services and care. They deserve to know.
The Commission on the Status of Women is taking place this week in New York. This UN-level meeting aims to address discrimination against women and girls and the rampant violations of their human rights. The denial of sexual and reproductive health and rights remains a barrier to gender equality, equity and justice. It is time for political decision-makers to not only speak, but implement. Their actions and inaction continue to cost young people, especially girls, their lives. Comprehensive sexuality education in schools is not the enemy. Ignorance is.
"I know that I don't have to do anything I am not ready for. When I am ready, I know exactly how to protect myself and be safe."
It is our duty to create a world where all conversations end like this.
