Just completed 86 years old John Brothers gave me the pleasure of not only ask a few questions, but let me interview him, with a nice cup of tea and cake (of course) at his hand, he told me a few stories that I would like to share with you.
Natural from Portsmouth and born in 26/1/1932 John lived in exciting times some goods and others not that good as war periods, although we are here to talk about sports. Everything started just after leaving school at 14 years old when a friend said to him to sell his motorbike to buy a push bike. He said that the motorbike and the pushbike were the same price 38 pounds. Very similar to nowadays where most of the bikes we have costs more than our cars.
Few years later, after another friend's suggestion he went to watch a cycling race at Goodwood circuit (just like our Club event). He got amazed with the event, all the bikes. Also shared in confidence while Carol was making another cup of tea, that day he meet this beautiful brunet who he kissed in the grass watching the race. After that day he got hooked – for cycling of course, and kept cycling until 1960.
His major achievements as a cyclist is:
- Winner – 25 miles centre (on track) – Hampshire championship
- PB 10 miles – 00:23:10
- PB 25 miles – 01:00:36
- PB 50 miles – 02:03:00
- PB 100 miles – 04:36:00
Now in 1976 in a business party a though stroke John just like a lighting, looking all those people "drinking like fish" he though "this is ridiculous" and in the next day he stopped drinking and start jogging. A secret between us, he started jogging at the track, not like most people would start right?!
Around 1978/9 he joined Portsmouth Athletics Club and raced for the first time at Brickwood 5 mile at age of 47 his time was 35min.
1980 John becomes part of the Veteran Athletics UK, at this time Portsmouth Athletics was considered the top notch in England with the best athletes and coaches in the whole country. John as part of veterans, training mainly in the track, round and round, and racing on roads (5 or 10 miles, or 10 km).
Back at this time, women were not allowed to race on roads, they were limited only to 800m on tracks. Can you imagine that? It is hard to believe, and John had the same though and when he got in charge of the old Brickwood race, changing name to Rossol, it was the first edition and one of the first road races to allow women to participate. Now this race is know was Victory 5mile and organised by Portsmouth Athletics.
Meantime he kept running, achieving impressive times (below) and also coaching veterans group twice week.
- 5.000m – Track 18:01 / Road 17:45
- 10.000m – Track 36:45 / Road 36:10
- 10 Miles – 58:58
- Half Marathon – 01:18:10
- 25km – 01:31:15
- Marathon (Glasgow) – 02:48:12
- Marathon (Isle of Wight) – 02:56:12
- Best run – 25K Vet European Champs in France 1984
1990 – Havant – Now coaching Male and female veterans – First time he saw Carol. She was running for Victory. He confess the he wanted her, he meant, on his team, of course.
2000 – John saw a advert about the Try a Tri organised by Portsmouth Triathletes and thought that could be fun. Got his bike in the shed and signed up for it. He swam "Side stroke" for the race and that was his first ever triathlon. With a goal of improve his swimming he joined Alex Campbell lessons. Funny enough Carol was in the same swim group. But focused and with intensive training he won the Hampshire 50m gala, and this time front craw.
Around 2008 John starts to coach running for Portsmouth Triathletes at the track twice a week.
His last race was at 82 years old at Southsea Parkrun smashing a time 32min.
John is not responsible for any athlete officially, but he is always around, giving tips, advises, training plans… and some best motivational quotes, like:
"At the start line you need to say to yourself: I've done the training. I can do this!"

| 8.4°C Belfast
Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte has said he might follow Russia's example and withdraw from the International Criminal Court (ICC), where his critics say he could be charged over the thousands killed in his war on drugs.
In a statement before flying to Peru to attend the annual summit of Asia-Pacific leaders, Mr Duterte also said the United Nations has been unsuccessful in stopping wars.
He said if China and Russia decide to create a new world order, he would be the first to join them and leave the UN, which he said is dominated by the US.
UN spokesman Farhan Haq said the UN is aware of reports that Mr Duterte is considering withdrawing his country from the ICC but that the world body has not yet received any formal communication from the Philippines. He urged them and other nations to reconsider.
Mr Duterte also criticised the global agreement to fight climate change, saying there are no penalties for violators and it is not clear which industrialised countries will contribute money to support developing countries' efforts against global warming.
He said that was the reason why President-elect Donald Trump does not want the US to spend money on fighting climate change.
During his campaign, Mr Trump said he would pull the US out of the Paris pact on climate change.
Mr Duterte said that like Russia, he might withdraw from the ICC "because we the small ones are the only ones being beaten up", but nothing has been done for the thousands of children and women dying in bombings in Syria and Iraq.
He is expected to meet with Russian president Vladimir Putin at the sidelines of the summit in Lima.
He requested the bilateral meeting because he wants to meet and be friends with Mr Putin, who he said was his idol.
Human rights advocates have criticised Mr Duterte's anti-drug campaign that has left more than 4,000 suspected addicts and pushers dead since July.
They said the killings can be a basis to charge him for crimes against humanity before the Netherlands-based court.
Mr Duterte said he has intentionally used foul language - including calling Barack Obama a "son of a bitch" - because Mr Obama has trivialised the Philippines' drug problem when there are already around four million Filipinos addicted to drugs.
The country has a population of more than 103 million.

Favorite Tu B'Shevat Recipes
This year Tu B'Shevat, translated as the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat, begins in the evening on Wednesday January 15, 2014 and ends in the evening on Thursday January 16th, 2014. This "New Year for the Trees" holiday marks the beginning of the slow process when the trees begin blossoming and flowering with new life and new fruit. In our home we find it especially meaningful to eat something from all of the Shiv'at HaMinim, seven species of the land of Israel – wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives and dates – that have a special significance in Judaism.
So now that you know what's what, I'm sharing my favorite recipes featuring each of the seven species.
Shivat Haminim Salad
This here is my signature Shivat Haminim Salad. There certainly is somethin' for everyone here to the tune of all 7 agricultural products enumerated in the Torah as special to the Land of Israel. Barley, wheat, figs, dates, grapes, pomegranates and olive (oil) are all represented in this salad. The honey is a nod to the land of milk and honey and even the red wine vinegar is a further play on the grape theme. Make this and you will have done this holiday proud. For single ingredient inspiration continue to scroll down.
My soothingBeef and Barley Porridge is a hearty winter soup that eats like a meal.
Chicken Thighs with Roasted Winter Fruit
Roasted grapes adorn chicken thighs along with winter fruit for a sweet and savory main.
For a sweeter chicken dinner do my Date Glazed Roast Chicken.
A light (green!) side, serve this warm or at room temp and double the tapenade for an awesome olive dip that will last in the fridge for a week.
Featuring figs this beautiful bark combines creamy white chocolate with delicious dried fruits and nuts for an elegant but simple dessert, treat or gift. Goes great with semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate too!
Semi-homemade Pomegranate Swirl ice cream is brilliant with a fudgey brownie or slice of rich chocolate cake.
Leave a comment and let me know how you celebrate Tu B'Shevat.

Mahmoud spoke again, a phrase too terse for me to take its meaning, but it cut Ali off as with a blade.
The angry man stared furiously at the calm seated one, then turned his back without a word and stormed into the night.
We all turned in shortly thereafter, but the night's silence was broken by the lengthy murmur of conversation, rising and falling, from the direction of the black tent.

Various reports said Tommy Hanson was not too excited about having to make a rehab start from Atlanta in Gwinnett Sunday night. Well, Hanson made the most of it against the Louisville Bats. Hanson was stellar and the Braves used a big fourth inning to beat the Bats 5-2 Sunday night.
Hanson, who was making what is supposed to be his only rehab start from Atlanta, went five shutout innings for the Braves giving up just three hits and two walks while striking out five.
Gwinnett (55-68) got all of their runs in the fourth off of Bats starter, and former Brave, Todd Redmond (8-9). Josh Kroeger walked to lead off the inning and Ernesto Mejia followed him with a two-run home run to dead center. It was Mejia's 24th home run of the season. Two batters later, Terry Tiffee singled and scored on Rusty Ryl's first home run of the season to make it 4-0. Redmond then allowed a two-out solo home run to Brian Friday to cap the scoring.
Felix Perez's two-run single in the eighth gave the Bats (48-75) their only runs of the night. Perez, who went 2-for-4 Sunday, has now hit safely in 40 of his last 54 games. During that stretch, Perez is hitting .330 and has his batting average up to .292 for the season.
Neftali Soto went 0-for-4 halting his hitting streak at nine games.
The teams wrap up their season series Monday night. With a win, the Bats will take the season series from Gwinnett 5-3. Pedro Villarreal (3-9, 4.12 ERA) will be on the mound for the Bats against Gwinnett's Yohan Flande (6-8, 4.02 ERA). First pitch for Monday's affair is set for 7:05 p.m.

O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave!
Pepe Aguilar's 11 year old daughter, Angela, sang the The Star Spangled Banner at Dodger stadium the other night. It was one of the most inspirational moments I have witnessed.
The crowd, a true melting pot of people, sang along with her about their pride of America.
Angela's voice was more than a little girl singing a song… it seemed to bring the diverse crowd together. The moment was a glimpse of what America needs more of; we are all in the same 'stadium' called The United States, rooting for a team called America.
We may be fans with different allegiances, but we all love the game of freedom. We need these moments, when color, race, religion and other divisive aspects disappear into one voice, joining an 11 year-old as she sings our National Anthem with such passion.
Pepe was proud to watch his daughter and hear her amazing voice, but this was a proud moment for all in attendance that demonstrated we are all in this together, moving forward.
Thank you Angela!

This four-image NAVCAM montage comprises images taken on 15 October from a distance of 9.9 km from the centre of comet 67P/C-G – just ~7.9 km from the surface!
The orientation is such that we're looking down onto the small lobe from above (bottom two frames), with the large lobe beyond (top two frames).
At this distance, the image scale is about 0.63 m/pixel, so each 1024 x 1024 pixel frame is about 650 metres across. Of course, at these close distances that's only really valid for the nearside of the comet. With the furthest point being an additional ~1 km further from the centre, that reduces the image scale for the more distance frames to about 0.93m/pixel!
The four full-resolution individual images making up the montage are provided below.

Toilet Paper Puts Trees in Trouble
Everybody poops, it's true, but some are more environmentally friendly about it than others. In fact, most of us could stand to sacrifice a little comfort on the commode: The New York Times reports that Americans prefer soft, exotic toilet paper to rougher recycled toilet paper by a massive margin—only 2 percent of the personal toilet paper we buy comes from recycled paper.
Our lust for excremental excess exacts a heavy toll on world forests. Since recycled paper can't come close to mimicking the velvety plushness of the TP types we prefer, paper companies harvest their pulp from millions of trees in North and South American forests. Some of it even comes from rare old-growth forests in Canada. (I like to give our good-natured Northern neighbors as much crap as the next guy, but that's ridiculous.)
Turning trees into toilet paper also requires more water than recycling, and bleaches and dies used for maximum whiteness create an excess of pollutants that can further damage the environment.
This poop problem is culturally unique to the States: Europeans and Latin Americans have much higher percentages of recycled content in their toilet paper pipeline—as much as 20 percent. Environmental groups are hoping to urge us to release our polluting potty habits and adopt greener, if rougher, brands of toilet paper for the sake of the planet.
In hopes of making a bold example, the National Resources Defense Council convinced Hollywood to adopt 100 percent recycled toilet paper at the Oscars last weekend.
That's a group of people who largely believe their s*** doesn't stink, and even they're taking it in the seat for the planet. Maybe it's time for all of us to dump non-recycled toilet paper.

Ohio Senate Takes Up Proposed Red Light Camera Ban
The Ohio Senate has begun considering a measure that would ban authorities from using cameras to determine whether drivers run red lights or violate speed limits.
The Senate started its hearings Tuesday. The House passed the measure in June.
It would allow the cameras only in 20-mph school zones if a law enforcement officer is on hand.
Some police and city officials say the cameras improve safety and traffic-monitoring efficiency. But camera opponents allege the devices are used to raise funds and say the bill could help end such abuse.
A case involving a southwest Ohio village has boosted the push for a statewide ban. After a speeding ticket blitz, a judge blocked Elmwood Place from using the cameras to catch speeders. The village has appealed.

European Heavy Rain Collector's Edition unveiled, DLC confirmed
It's Heavy Rain day! The EU PS Blog just posted up a picture of the game's European Special Edition, as you can see here. Very cool.
It's boxed in a special 'rain-effect' slipcase – thanks to "special embossing" and other "manufacturing tricks" it apparently gives the impression of being streaked with 3D rain-drops. Fancy.
Buyers also get voucher to download the following additional content from PSN:
- Heavy Rain: Chronicle 1 – The Taxidermist. This was confirmed as a pre-order goodie for the Americans last week.
- The Heavy Rain Official Soundtrack – Recorded at the Abbey Road studios.
- Dynamic XMB theme
More through there. Still no date. It's expected in February.

Forcefield Upgrade Migration Path
To upgrade to the latest build of Forcefield, it is recommended that a migration path be followed. Interlogix recommends this course of action to potentially reduce any risk associated with updating the database.
Migrating from version 5 to version 6
5.x.x > 6.0.1 (6.0.1 is the build that bridges from 5>6.)
Migrating from version 6 to version 7
NOTE : Where Forcefield 6.1.1 is installed you will need to review the 6.1.1 Upgrade Notes prior to upgrade. Any Forcefield version 6.x.x should be upgraded to 6.4.1 first, then to 7.0.0 before proceeding to a later version.
Examples: If you wanted to go 5.3.0 to 7.2.2, the upgrade path would be 5.3.0>6.0.1> 6.4.1>7.0.0>7.2.1>7.2.2
Note: an issue has been identified for some customers when upgrading to Forcefield 7.2.2 Build 27 from earlier versions. Interlogix recommends to prevent issues during an upgrade, customer who upgrade to 7.2.2 Build 27 should first upgrade to 7.2.1. Once on 7.2.1, an upgrade to 7.2.2 Build 27 should be successful.

As the current House appropriations committee chair, Abaya is reportedly expected to see through the passage of the budget until the third reading. "He's incoming DOTC secretary and the DOTC has a lot of projects that go through NEDA board. So perhaps, Secretary Abaya is also wanting to immediately get the feel of the work pace.

Sri Lanka's Dananjaya takes 5, New Zealand 179-5 in 1st test
GALLE, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka spinner Akila Dananjaya took his fourth five-wicket haul in tests as New Zealand was restricted to 179-5 at tea on the opening day of the first test.
Dananjaya had 5-50 in 18.2 overs at Galle.
New Zealand resumed on 71-3 after lunch and Ross Tayor and Henry Nicolls added 100 runs for the fourth wicket. But New Zealand lost two quick wickets close to the tea break.
Nicolls tried to play a sweep to Dananjaya bowling around the wicket and was given out lbw. He reviewed but television replays showed the ball was hitting leg stump.
Nicolls made 42 from 78 deliveries.
B.J. Watling (1) tried to pull a shorter delivery from Dananjaya but was too quick on the shot and was also trapped lbw right before tea.
Taylor was 70 not out from 106 balls with four boundaries, his 31st test half-century, and holding New Zealand's innings together on the opening day of the series.
Dananjaya struck twice to remove opener Tom Lathan and skipper Kane Williamson for a duck in the same over in the first session to reduce New Zealand to 71-3.
Latham and Jeet Ravan had combined for a patient opening stand of 64 from 160 deliveries after New Zealand won the toss and batted.
They negotiated seam bowlers Suranga Lakmal and Lahiru Kumara well and also, for the most part, the three Sri Lankan spinners who were assisted by early bounce from the pitch.
Latham, who scored 30 from 88 balls, went back foot to a bouncing delivery from Dananjaya in the 27th over and edged to recalled wicketkeeper Niroshan Dickwella.
Williamson, the prize wicket, was out three balls later without scoring, also beaten by the bounce when he pushed the ball straight to Sri Lanka captain Dimuth Karunaratne at short midwicket.
Ravan was on 33 right before the interval when he played forward defensively and edged to Dhananjaya de Silva at slip.
This is the first match for both teams in the World Test Championship, and New Zealand also picked three spin bowlers expecting the Galle wicket to turn.

Opalite Crystal Pendulum
Most Opalite is synthetic or man-made glass because Opalite is rarely found in nature. When found in nature this crystal contains amphorous opal creating a translucent bluish tint.
These Opalite crystal pendulums are natural hence they have a more clear quartz look with the translucent blue tint shining through it.
The natural Opalite because it's made from Nature has a higher vibratory signature than the synthetic versions.
Opalite is alleged to improve sociability and communication; enhance cleansing, detoxification and excretion.
Opalite clears energy blockages of the meridians and chakras.
Opalite is calming, helps reduce depression and is useful for meditation.
Opalite is said to be an aid in general healing.

Prannation Takes Over the Farm
The criminals in charge of the government have failed to keep the nation supplied with food. So they're giving the criminals in charge of the jails a go at it.
The government has alighted on a brilliant new solution to our food crisis and the twist is that it will come from the most unlikeliest of places: jail.
Prisons Minister Iris Varela announced last week that four of the six new prisons being built right now will be set up to produce food inside their premises.
Here's the plan in her own words:
In Sucre (State), for example, the coconut is being lost… so, we're going to industrialize it. From carpets to coconut oil… We'll also install a seafood production plant so we can pack sardines, tuna in the penitentiary center we're building…
In all prisons we will have pig and poultry farms… The production that the inmates are carrying out allows for the reduction of costs and prices of some products.
The biggest news to me from this article: carpets made out of coconut are real. #TheMoreYouKnow
You might expect me to pivot now to a little rant about how, having expropriated so many food companies only to do nothing with them, the government is maybe not exactly swimming in credibility when it comes to handling the food crisis. Or the fact that they could simply stop the endless harassment of the main private food maker in the country. But not this time.
Let's focus instead on the way Prannation stands to gain from all this. As we know, prison gang overlords (pranes) now control just about everything that happens inside most Venezuelan jails. Last year, a press report noted it was easier to find groceries (including CLAPs bags) inside the infamous Tocorón Prison than in the local markets.
As it stands, Tocorón is already a city within a city: You can find anything you need inside, from a bank branch to a… [BONO VOICE] Discotheque! (Congratulations, now you have this 20-year old song stuck in your head just like me!)
Iris Varela has a point though: "We have to do something about them", referring to the 56.000 inmates currently in our prison system. It's just that her definition of rehabilitation is all wrong.
Take for example what Colombia is doing: The San Diego women's prison in Cartagena now has one of the trendiest restaurants in town, thanks to a private foundation initiative. Instead of opening the Nth revenue stream for the Pran, they're teaching prisoners job skills they can take to the job market when they get out! Imagine that!
As those prisons are yet to be built, the government's food distribution program faces another "distraction". Apparently, the CLAPs are too busy with their plans to make its own radio and TV show. Well, they have a magazine already. By next week, they'll be making movies.

Fort Worth Rental Property Management Helps You Comply with Landlord/Tenant Discrimination Laws
Our society is more aware than ever before of everyone around us and their civil rights. In 1968, the Fair Housing Act was established to protect all citizens from being discriminated against for reasons such as race, color, national origin, religion, gender, disability, or familial status when trying to rent or buy housing. Fair housing rules are important to know when you are deciding whether or not to accept a tenant application. These rules have created more opportunities for more people, but have also required that everyone be more aware and careful in the way they speak and run their businesses. Don't take the risk of rejecting someone only to find out that you've unknowingly discriminated against them. In order to steer clear of uncomfortable legal situations, educate yourself on landlord/tenant discrimination legislation in Fort Worth. Rental property management companies like Specialized Property Management are a great way to ensure that you aren't making any costly mistakes and can handle marketing, tenant screening, and more to ensure that everything is done in the correct way. To get a head start, begin by reading the laws and special situations listed below and making sure that you are in compliance with those.
Marketing your rental home property will help attract good tenants, especially if you market in the right way. Be careful not to market to one specific group of people. When you say that your property is ideal for families, senior citizens and single people may feel like they can't live there. It's better for you and the community if you encourage all types of people in all stages of life to live in your rental property. This will help create diversity and the feeling that no one is getting left out. Diversity is encouraged and appreciated all over the city of Fort Worth. Property management services will help you market your rental property in a way that is inclusive, without attracting tenants that are irresponsible or unreliable. The following checklist from MetroTex can help you determine if you are in compliance with marketing regulations when posting an online ad.
- Does the ad contain any misleading statements, or does it tend to create a misleading impression in any manner? It is prudent for someone who did not design the ad to scrutinize it for any potentially misleading statements. Keep in mind that the standard is not whether a statement is true, but whether the advertisement "tends to create a misleading impression."
- Does the ad contain the name of the real estate firm or broker? It should.
- Does the person causing the ad to be published have proper authority to publish or submit the advertisement?
- Is the price quoted the price agreed upon by the owner?
- Does the ad inadvertently imply a limitation or preference to a protected class that could potentially violate fair housing laws?
- Is the specific information relayed in the advertisement accurate?
Tenant Selection
Using a Fort Worth rental property management company is very important when selecting tenants. Once you've got a good amount of interest in your property, you have the opportunity to begin the screening process. You have the right to ask tenants about their rental history in order to see how they will treat your property and how seriously they will take their tenant responsibilities. Talk to former and current landlords about if the tenant paid rent on time, gave proper notice, or violated any lease terms. Use a written or online application that collects the information you need such as names, contact information, social security numbers, current and past addresses, employment information, and landlord references.
The entire screening process can be lengthy and time consuming. If you use Specialized Fort Worth Rental Property Management company, you will save so much time and worry by letting them handle the screening process and do so without risking discrimination. When you ask about tenant's background, you have to be careful not to mention any questions that could be related to race or disabilities. Things you can ask about are financial history, sex offender charges, and criminal records. In order to gauge how reliable a tenant is, you are able to ask questions about past and current employment as well as check their credit score. You may also ask why they're moving and how many people and pets will live in the residence.
Service Animal Compliance
Speaking of pets, service animals must be allowed, whether your rental property allows pets or not. Since they are required in some medical situations, service animals cannot be denied under any circumstances, including breed or size. In addition, someone who needs a service animal cannot be rejected because that would also be considered discrimination. Be careful to not make any slips that would make you appear non-compliant. Saying that your rental property does not allow pets, and that there are no exceptions, could put you at risk for being non-compliant when the exception is that service animals are allowed. Specialized Fort Worth's property management services are aware of all the special needs that go along with disabilities and service animals. They will be able to inform you of what to say and what not to say when meeting someone with a service animal. For example, your potential tenant must provide proof that they need a service animal, but don't have to explain why.
LGBT Compliance
The state of Texas doesn't have any current ruling for LGBT housing issues. The more people talk about these issues, the sooner there will be changes in laws in order to protect the housing rights of people who identify as LGBT. In the meantime, property owners should be aware of how they are advertising their property, be honest about available units, ask questions that aren't discriminatory on lease applications, and avoid tenant screenings for things other than what is allowed by state regulations. If you were to suggest that you had no vacancies when you actually did, it could be grounds for a real estate agent to lose their license and the denied tenants would have grounds to file a complaint with the real estate licensing board. No matter what your personal beliefs are, it's important to think of your rental property as a business, separate from religious or emotional views. Like anything else, there are some exceptions to Fair Housing laws, but you would have to have years of experience and knowledge to be able to identify which exemptions applied to you. That's why employing the help of Fort Worth property management services can help you avoid costly fines from unwittingly going against current or future regulations that have the potential to change all the time.
Disability and Reasonable Accommodation
The definition of a disability is a mental or physical condition that substantially limits that person's ability to participate in major life activities that are important to daily life. Disabilities are not always identifiable just by looking at someone. That's why it's important to be careful when first meeting potential tenants and putting them through the screening process. Be careful not to say or do anything that may be discriminating, regardless of whether they have an apparent disability or not. Conditions like heart disease, epilepsy, or even anxiety, may not be obvious when meeting someone, but may require special requirements or service animals. Fort Worth rental property management knows that reasonable accommodations for someone's disability are required by law. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has laid out what it means to provide reasonable accommodations to these tenants. Some examples may include changes to parking policies, rent collection procedures, or the allowance of service animals. In order to not be discriminatory, it's important to wait for a reasonable request to be made, rather than offering it and assuming that someone has a disability or the need for a special accommodation when they don't.
Fair Housing Laws
No one wants to be discriminated against, and no one wants to discriminate.

The triceps brachii is Latin for "three-headed arm muscle". It's an extensor muscle that joins together at the elbow and is an antagonist of the biceps and brachialis muscles. The triceps cover about 2/3rd of our arm and are primarily used for pushing.
One of our favorite strength exercises to isolate the triceps is the 2 arm Skull Crusher.
1. Lie prone (on your back) holding 2 dumbbells in a neutral grip with palms facing each other, above your chest.
2. Keeping the arms parallel, hinge at the elbows, as you lower the forearms and bring the dumbbells even with your ears. Then return to your starting position and repeat.

Potato famine ???
By scotsgran
22 comments
How could I be so stupid I ask myself ? The potatoes did not look like they were short of water and I watered religously in all the dry weather we have had.We went away for a week before the heat became so intense and I watered everything really well before I went away. We came back to find overnight showers had kept the moisture up in my various pots. Yesterday I decided to dig up a shaw and what a disappointment. I dug up Fortyfold one of my heritage varieties. It was one of two in a grow bag. The soil at the top was wet but underneath it was as dry as a bone. I got 12oz of potatoes from one shaw. I decided to leave the other to see if watering will help. Some of the potatoes were too small to even consider edible. I took out a pot of Colleen, again wet on top dry as a bone 2" down. I am soaking the pots in basins of water to get the general purpose compost to take water. I got 12oz of Colleen too. They tasted fantastic but there could have been a bumper crop.

I am wondering if grow bags loose moisture quicker, we have lots of tatties in our veg garden, we do water every few days but the soil deeper down is still fairly moist.
11 Jul, 2010
I know nothing about spuds Scotsgran but would it help to sink plant pots into the growbags like you do for tomatoes so the water goes directly to the roots? Feel free to shout at me if you've already done that!!
11 Jul, 2010
I had a poor crop last year scotsgran and wasn't going to bother this year but I did in the end don't know what they are like. I have one lot growing in a tub and the others in an old upturned washing machine in the corner of the garden ;-)
11 Jul, 2010
I don't think my potatos in pots are going to be much good either,despite copious watering.The foliage has been huge,but all straggly and going yellow now.I keep trying to feel if there are any spuds,but so far nothing,only a couple of really tiny ones.The Vales Emerald in the soil fared much better,but still preferred the Swift variety for production.On the other hand,to be fair,we had so much rain last year,so that could be the main reason..
11 Jul, 2010
It could be that scotsgran it has been very dry this year hasn't it. We had our first very small strawberries today (5) between three of us!. We lost a lot of plants in the winter so will be pegging the runners into the empty slots in the strawberry tower.
11 Jul, 2010
I am just an idiot. Once general purpose compost, which still contains a lot of farmed peat, dries out it is almost impossible to wet it again, unless you stand it in water till it has had its fill, and then keep it moist. This year because of the neighbours I moved my potato pots on to the patio, (hard surface) usually they sit on the earth and I have no problems with them. The water does run through the pot more easily on the hard surface than it does when the pot is sitting on the soil. 12oz of potatoes from a 2oz seed potato is better than nothing. The grow bags were sitting in trays and there was water in the bottom but I obviously did not make enough cuts in the underside of the bag so that they could benefit from that water. No excuses I messed up those ones but there is still plenty of growing to be done in the other bags and pots. I will keep you updated.
11 Jul, 2010
Thanks scotsgran I will try and remember to tell you what mine are like when I harvest them-not holding out too much hope though ;-)
11 Jul, 2010
Just make sure they are wet all the way through and you should get a decent crop. I am always amazed at the amount of veg produced by the TV shows from a single container and wonder how they do it. I have not had too many failures over the time I have been growing in pots but I never get the same as I did from those planted in the garden. It is easier for me to plant in pots as the digging got too much for us. My earlies should have been ready by now but I just thought they were slow because of the weather. The foliage is good but I was worried by the look of the foliage on the Fortyfold as it looked as if it could be dying. ? Blight, so I removed the foliage and burned it. Most potatoes will just be starting to bulk up now so I am not overly concerned.
11 Jul, 2010
best of luck with them Scotsgran I hope your pots will bulk up too. I have always grown them in tubs and containers as not had much garden to grow them in. When I get the allotment I will have plenty of room then-there are four in front of me on the waiting list. I don't mind waiting though as I can't do much at the moment with my broken leg!
12 Jul, 2010
Being a pot grower has its advantages lol
12 Jul, 2010
Pitty you were disappointed. They look quite nice though.
12 Jul, 2010
They tasted good and I am hoping the second potato will thrive if I can get it enough water. Fortyfold is a late main so it is way too early to be lifting it. The Colleen also tasted nice and tended towards being floury so I will definitely be growing both next year.
12 Jul, 2010
I like floury potatoes.
12 Jul, 2010
We tried growing potatoes in bags last year, with a soil based compost, but were disapointed with the results. Growing in the ground this year we are very satisfied with yields, at least a kilo from first earlies, Colleen and Maris Baird. I wouldn't go back to container growing for potatoes again
12 Jul, 2010
If we were able to cope physically with planting in the garden I would choose to grow that way but because we can no longer dig and delve we put up with the smaller yields from pots but they have never been this bad. It is my own fault I will be more careful in future. I am very impressed with Colleen. It is the first time I have grown them. I have never liked Maris Bard. It is what we would call a wet tatty and no matter how hard I tried I could never get them to be Floury.
12 Jul, 2010
I fully agree with your last comment, Sg, the Colleen are great but Maris Bard rather soft and flavourless.
13 Jul, 2010
Sorry to hear about the poor rersults with the gro-bags, Scotsgran. I hope that our First Earlies in sacks got enough watering, but usually give them a whole watering-canful when watering. The sacks have been damp their full depth all the time, though, so - hopefully. Shaws beginning to yellow now, so shoudn't be too long before finding out.
13 Jul, 2010
My mistake was not picking up on the fact that they had dried out, I think yours will be fine if they have always been wet .
13 Jul, 2010
I hope so. just wondering if I didn't overwater to the point of causing rot, but time will tell. Good Luck with your other tatties!!
13 Jul, 2010
I was hoping to grow tatties in containers on a hard surface because I thought I could minimise slug damage that way, so this has been an interesting read.
Do you think a perforated hose coiled inside the container (around the edge from top to bottom) could be a good answer with an open end to pour water in? I always thought that would deliver water more efficiently to the roots of plants.
Or have I over thought this?
28 Jul, 2010
Interesting idea Pam. Don't know and there is only one way to find out. An alternative could just be a piece of rigid pipe with holes drilled in it down the center of the container?
28 Jul, 2010
I like the idea of the perforated hose coiled around the container but I think it might be better if it was coiled within the contents rather than at the edge. If the soil dries out it will shrink from the edge and let the water run away. I have tried the rigid pipe with holes in and found the water ran away too quickly I got round that by putting the bottom end in a plastic container without holes.I found using 3" plastic plant pots half filled with soil on top of one another and pouring the water though them worked in those plastic flower pouches. I never thought of putting them in with the potatoes. I wonder if using water retaining crystals would work or is there a danger of the potatoes being too wet at certain times. As you say Bb the only way to find out is to try it. Sign up here for GOY's first controlled experimental grow your own tatties. I feel a blog coming on. Pamsco I have less slugs and snails this year although we are practically organic so its nothing I have been doing. Putting the pots in a grobag as suggested by Fluff seems an excellent idea. That ought to work really well.

The US Congress missed a deadline to reauthorize the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) over the weekend. The failure to act threatens health insurance coverage for about 9 million children in lower-income families across the United States. Although the Senate released a five-year bill to reauthorize the program last week, a vote was not scheduled by the Republican Senate leadership.
States will begin to feel the effects of Congress's inaction as soon as the end of this year. Previously, when some states closed CHIP enrollment for limited periods in response to budget shortfalls, studies show that eligible individuals were left without access to coverage, causing negative effects on family health and finances.
Funding for CHIP expired on September 30. Although funds did not immediately dry up on October 1, the program faces imminent shutdown in a number of states. Joan Alker, executive director of Georgetown University's Center for Children and Families, told reporters earlier this month, "This is ridiculous. It's already too late. We have never had a situation like this before."
CHIP was passed into law under the Clinton administration with bipartisan support, championed by then-first lady Hillary Clinton. The program provides low-cost health coverage to children in families that earn too much to qualify for Medicaid.
Although eligibility rules vary by state, in most states children age 18 and younger qualify for the program if their family's income falls below 200 percent of the federal poverty line, or just under $50,000 for a family of four. Some states offer coverage to children in families earning up to 300 percent over the federal poverty line, and 20 states also offer coverage to pregnant women.
CHIP provides low-cost insurance for a large range of benefits, varying by state, including routine checkups, immunizations, mental health services, prescriptions, inpatient and outpatient hospital care, x-rays and lab services. An analysis from the American Academy of Pediatrics found that families are much more likely to attend to preventive and primary care after enrolling their children in the program.
Average costs to families run about $150 per child annually, compared to insurance premiums of more than $850 per year per child in employer-sponsored insurance, according to a report from the Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission released earlier this year.
About 9 million children are currently insured through CHIP. Since its enactment, the uninsured rate among children has fallen significantly, from 13.9 percent in 1997 to 4.5 percent in 2015, the Access Commission says. In 2016, more than 8.9 million children were enrolled, up from 8.44 million in 2015.
CHIP currently costs about $14 billion a year, with the federal government picking up about three-quarters of this cost. Some states provide CHIP as part of the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), others operate a separate CHIP program, while some provide a combination of these approaches. Under expiration, states with CHIP-funded Medicaid expansion would be required to maintain this coverage, but with lowered federal funding. States with separate CHIP coverage would not be required to maintain it.
According to an analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), 48 of 50 responding states, including the District of Columbia, assumed continued federal funding for CHIP in their fiscal year 2018 budgets. Thirty-four of 42 responding states also assumed they would receive the 23 percent match included as part of Obamacare. This means that the majority of states face a funding shortfall due to CHIP's expiration.
Ten states—Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, California and Hawaii—anticipate exhausting CHIP funding by the end of 2017. Most states must provide 30 days' notice to enrollees that their coverage will be eliminated.
Previous state enrollment caps and freezes in CHIP benefits have had a disastrous effect on coverage and medical services. When North Carolina froze enrollment between January and October 2001, enrollment fell by nearly 30 percent, from about 72,000 to 51,300, according to KFF. Parents affected by the freeze said that almost all of their children experienced periods of being uninsured and reported difficulties obtaining prescriptions for them. They also reported obtaining care for their children required them to cut back on necessities, borrow money from family or friends, or accrue debt.
House Democratic Caucus Chairman Rep. Joe Crowley (New York), blamed Republicans for missing the CHIP reauthorization deadline. However, neither House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi nor Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer has voiced loud protests over congressional inaction that threatens the health care of millions of US children.
The failure to reauthorize CHIP follows last week's collapse of Senate Republicans' latest Obamacare repeal effort, as Majority Leader Mitch McConnell pulled legislation sponsored by Sens. Lindsey Graham (South Carolina) and Bill Cassidy (Louisiana), when it became clear the measure did not have the votes to pass.
While committees in both the House and Senate said hours before Congress failed to reauthorize CHIP that they would take up the legislation for the children's program again this week, such action is anything but assured. Joan Benso, president and CEO of advocacy group Pennsylvania Partnerships for Children, told the Morning Call, "If we get to November and it's not done, then we'll get pretty concerned."
In the wake of the latest failure to repeal the ACA, a bipartisan effort to "fix" Obamacare by Sens. Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee, and Patty Murray, Democrat of Washington, is expected to continue. This effort is not aimed at extending coverage to the 28 million Americans who remain uninsured seven years after the passage of the ACA, but at "stabilizing" the insurance markets.
Such a bipartisan deal would retain the basic framework of Obamacare, which has broad support from the insurance companies and big business, bloating the profits of the insurers while at the same time increasing out-of-pocket health care costs for the vast majority of Americans.

DURBAN – AP Moller-Maersk, known more simply as Maersk, the largest container shipping company in the world, was reported in an American maritime paper over the weekend to have confirmed a new long-term strategy that involves reducing by a significant number the recruitment of cadets from South Africa.
Maersk has its regional head office in Cape Town and its container ships are frequent callers at the ports of Durban, Ngqura, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town. In addition the company operates various other types of ships, including tugs and tankers, and is involved in the oil prospecting industry with oil rigs and support vessels.
The Danish company told the marine online newspaper gCaptain: "As part of Maersk Line's long-term crew strategy we have decided to adjust the sourcing areas for our international cadet intake. This will result in a significant reduction of cadets that we recruit from countries such as South Africa."
It is not known what has caused Maersk to adopt this new strategy. The company said it would ensure that cadets already enrolled would be given the opportunity to complete their contractual training period in order to qualify as an officer of the watch, which would enable recruits to seek qualified employment on ships.
AP Moller-Maersk is the owner and operator of former South African shipping company Safmarine, which continues to operate under its original brand as a division of Maersk.
Safmarine ships, however, have become very rare visitors to South African ports in recent years.
Maersk will also be reducing the number of cadets that it previously raised in the UK, and it has few if any ships still flying the British flag.
