Mount Beanpole
From the Super Mario Wiki, the Mario encyclopedia
Jump to:navigation, search
Mount Beanpole, otherwise known as World 1-3, is the third course of World 1 in Super Mario 3D World. The first part takes place on a mountainous grassy structure and the rest takes place in the sky with wooden bridges. It is unlocked by completing Chargin' Chuck Blockade and its own completion unlocks Plessie's Plunging Falls and Switch Scramble Circus.
The level starts in an area with a pair of Sprixies, each with binoculars, sitting in trees. A bridge up ahead leads to a group of Piranha Plants, a POW Block, and a Hidden Block with a 1-Up Mushroom. Further ahead, there are more POW Blocks can be used to expose a Warp Pipe. Next is a series of clouds that leads the player to a wooden bridge; atop the hill to the left is a Cloud Cannon that leads to a Super Star, while the hill to the right contains a 1-Up Mushroom on a blue platform. At the end of another bridge is a Mega Piranha Plant that acts as a "boss"; defeating it reveals a Warp Box that brings the player to the Goal Pole.

" How long is a triathlon ?" is one of the first questions on people's minds when considering taking up this sport. Well, the answer is: it depends!
The beauty of triathlon is that there is a race for everyone – from a supersprint with the swim in a pool and the run only 2km for a beginner triathlete, through to the ultimate challenge of a 226 kilometre Ironman.
And no matter how fit (or unfit) you are, with a little training, you will be able to complete a race.
There are also variations on the traditional triathlon, including duathlons (run, bike, run), aquathlons (swim, run) and off-road triathlons - commonly called an Xterra - which involves swimming, mountain biking and trail running.
If you are the sort of person to get a bit obsessed with your times, then bear in mind that races are not always measured out to the exact distance.
This includes elite races – yes, sometimes those amazing 10k run times are too good to be true!
So there really is something for everyone. The standard triathlon and ironman distances are listed below.
|Kids of Steel
|100–750 m
|5–15 km
|1–5 km
|Distances vary with age of athlete.
|Novice (Australia)
|300 m
|8 km
|2 km
|Distances vary, but this is a standard Novice distance course in Australia.
|Super Sprint

|10 km
|2.5 km
|Distances vary, but this is a standard Super Sprint course.
|Novice (Europe)
|400 m
|20 km
|5 km
|Distances vary somewhat, but this is a standard novice/fitness distance course in Europe.
|750 m
|20 km
|5 km
|For pool-based races a 500m swim is common.

There should be a movie about Paralympic triathlete Krige Schabort. As a kid growing up in Cape Town, South Africa, he had almost no interest in long-distance racing. He ran in high school, but begrudgingly.
"I never really enjoyed it much," Schabort says. "There was some pressure from my parents and the teachers because there was talent there, but I didn't want to exploit it. I wanted to surf more. Surf and play rugby."
Schabort still surfs, but his world changed nearly 30 years ago. While serving in the South African army, a bomb exploded just six feet away from him. He was incredibly lucky to survive the blast, but he also lost both his legs. The "accident," as Schabort describes it, gave rise to a career as a world-class athlete.
Since then, the six-time Paralympian has medaled twice in the marathon, won gold and silver medals at the marathon world championships, broken an Ironman world record, competed for both South Africa and the US in the games, and won an Espy.
He's also been busy kicking Father Time's ass; This past weekend, a day after his 53rd birthday, he placed fifth in the first-ever paratriathlon event in the Paralympic Games in Rio. The guy who took gold, Jetze Plat from the Netherlands, was 25 years old. The average age of the other athletes was 36.
"My competition was on its A game, and that's one thing you can't control," Schabort says. "Those young guys are fast, I'm telling you. But I'm a guy who goes with experience. That's my one advantage."
That experience includes the variety of vehicles he's ridden in high-level competition. Schabort started with wheelchair racing in the late 1980s. Then he began cross-training on a handbike, long before the triathlon was a Paralympic event.
Riders lay low and parallel to the ground, as if they're driving a hand-cranked luge.
In the relatively short amount of time Schabort has been riding handcycles, the bikes have undergone a radical transformation. Not long ago, steel and aluminum handbikes were the norm. About eight years ago, a company called Carbonbike came out with its first carbon-fiber hand-bike design. Now, all serious competitors are switching to carbon-framed bikes from that company and its competitors.
"At the highest levels, it's chaos right now," says Chris Peterson, president and co-owner of Carbonbike USA. "People are changing bikes, and in the last 12 months there's been a big change."
Schabort was one of those recent converts to carbon fiber. This year was the first in which Schabort rode Carbonbike's newest bike, the REVO-X, in major competitions: The ITU World Triathlon in Besançon, France; the world championships in Rotterdam; and the 2016 Paralympic Games in Rio.
They may be "bikes," but the vehicles used in the 20-kilometer stretch of the paratriathlon are nothing like a traditional racing cycle in terms of ergonomics, operation, and shock-resistance. For one thing, they're all front-wheel drive: The rider operates the pedals with his or her hands, in a push-pull rowing motion with the cranks set even at one another. Riders lay low and parallel to the ground, as if they're driving a hand-cranked luge. Compared to a traditional bicycle, there's much more friction involved. A rider's back, neck, and head are in constant contact with the bike.
More Rio 2016
After years of competing on aluminum-framed bikes, Schabort noticed the advantages of a carbon-fiber frame immediately.
"A lot of companies come into it, overdesign and make it too heavy," Schabort says. "Rotterdam is an example, there was like 16 turns in each lap, and we did four laps. That was continuous exercise, and every time you have to turn it wears on your speed. It's just that much easier to get back on speed when you're carrying a few pounds less."
Carbon fiber is famously light and strong, and it lends itself to more intricate sculpting than metal. Peterson compares it to shaping a candle: With an expert mold-maker and the right properties, bike-makers can do things that would be impossible with aluminum or steel.
"You can lay the carbon into the mold at different angles, make it thicker here and thinner there," Peterson says. There's material that's made to be stiff in one direction, and material that's stiff in multiple directions. "You can shape it in practically any way you can imagine."
Despite its stiffness, carbon fiber also absorbs vibration better than metal. Schabort says that's really important when you're dealing with full-body bumps over the course of a ride. He says he was sold on the bike when, during an early road test, he went over a rumble strip and the bike practically glided over it. It was a much softer ride compared to an aluminum bike, and rough roads didn't slow the bike down as much.
One of the most important design elements is the REVO-X's unique front fork. Schabort says the area around the crank is much sturdier than any aluminum bike he's used, and the flex of an aluminum bike translates to lost energy. Peterson says the low-slung scoop element that distinguishes his fork design was a late addition. Early this year, he started thinking of ways to make the front of the bike lighter, a significant challenge with a hand bike.
"The front fork on a traditional bicycle has nothing really on it," Peterson says. "The front fork on a handcycle has everything on it. It has the cranks, it has the shifting, it's basically the entire bicycle on the front of this thing that you're sitting on... To do something as streamlined with aluminum or steel, it would weigh twice as much to make it stiffer and stronger."
By taking out extra material and beefing up the REVO-X's low-riding front fork, Peterson says he was able to shave off weight and make the bike more aerodynamic. But there was a nice side perk: Without as much material up front, it improved the riders' view of the road.
To get a better feel for the bike and potential areas of improvement, Peterson, who is able-bodied, says he rides a handbike six days a week. He also surrounds himself with world-class athletes like Schabort, who provide him with feedback on potential improvements. That's been the case since he started making performance wheelchairs in 1987.
"George Murray won the Boston Marathon in a wheelchair. We ended up going into business," Peterson says. "I worked with him, and there was a lot of, 'Let's try this,' and we just kept trying to improve things. I've drawn out way more bad stuff than I've made good stuff, but you have to try things."
Nearly 30 years later, that spirit of trial-and-error has resulted in one of the coolest vehicles out there, period. But carbon fiber is pricey: A REVO-X with standard brakes and wheels runs about $10,000. With the add-ons that most top-level athletes use—carbon wheels, electronic shifting, a power meter built into the cranks—we're talking 18 grand. In sports technology, state-of-the-art is never cheap.

What Does "No Links on Page" Mean?
This issue means that there were 0 outbound links found on the page. This is also referred to as a "dead end page", since crawlers must stop here as they have no links to follow from this page. Often times, this results from links existing on the page, but existing within JavaScript, or other elements that in most of the time are inaccessible to crawlers.
Why It's Important
Dead end pages should be avoided whenever possible. While they may not drastically harm the rankings on the site, they do pose a user experience issue and represent a lost internal linking opportunity.
- They hurt your internal linking strategy. Any link juice passed to a dead end page will stop here and not flow on to other pages. This is a wasted opportunity to continue spreading link juice to all areas of your site. For example, if this page has many inbound links to it, the page's value will be high. If this page links to other pages in the site, it will help raise the value of the other pages it links to. But if there are no links on the page, all of this value gained will only benefit the one page.
- If a page is flagged as a dead end due to links within JavaScript, or other elements inaccessible to crawlers most of the time, it's possible search engines will not be able to crawl or index these pages.
- Dead end pages are unnatural and are a poor user experience. The very nature of the world wide web is that it uses links to connect pages. If there are no links on the page, the user is forced to use the browser's back button or leave the site. Site structures with dead end pages also create more work for crawlers.
How To Fix

The Israeli military announced Sunday it indicted three soldiers for allegedly taking money from a building in Gaza during last year's war against Hamas militants.
The military said that two soldiers were indicted on suspicion they took the equivalent of $605 and another is accused of helping them.
A military police investigation was opened after the soldiers' commander reported them, it said. The military said it repeatedly tried to find the owner of the building but attempts were unsuccessful.
Investigations into more than 120 soldiers have been opened over their conduct during the fighting, the military said. The three soldiers who were indicted last week are the first to face charges so far, it said.
The 50-day war was the third and bloodiest round of fighting since late 2008 between Israel and Hamas, the Islamic militant group that rules Gaza. Some 2,200 people were killed on the Palestinian side and 72 on the Israeli side.
Hamas violently took over Gaza in 2007 from forces loyal to the government of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
The ongoing Palestinian rift is just one of the many obstacles to a potential peace accord between Israel and Abbas' government.
In Jerusalem on Sunday, Abbas' chief negotiator expressed skepticism about peace prospects with the next Israeli government following comments made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the recent campaign.
In the final days of the campaign, Netanyahu said he would not allow the establishment of a Palestinian state on his watch, saying that regional turmoil made this impossible.
Speaking to a gathering of international reporters, Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said that Netanyahu's comments were irresponsible and would cause despair among Palestinians.
"Desperation will lead to desperate acts," Erekat warned. He added that Netanyahu's opposition to Palestinian statehood raised serious questions about reviving negotiations. "What do I talk to him about?" he said.
Netanyahu secured-re-election in March 17 elections, but has not yet formed a government coalition. He is widely expected to form a government with hard-line and religious parties that oppose major concessions to the Palestinians.

THE BOUNCING SOULS Simplicity Limited Vinyl LP
You can count the number of bands who've stayed together for almost 30 years on two hands, and you can use just one to count those who've consistently released quality material for the duration of those almost three decades. New Jerseys The Bouncing Souls enter that esteemed category, and in keeping with their D.I.Y. roots, they've done it without a major label, corporate radio, MTV, or teen magazine pinups. The Bouncing Souls are nothing short of a legacy, and with their new release "Simplicity" they're showing just why they've become one of the most respected and appreciated punk bands of all time. For their newest album, Simplicity, The Bouncing Souls headed back into the studio with John Seymour (who previously produced "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" and "Anchors Aweigh") to craft their highly anticipated new album. Simplicity is easily the bands strongest, most anthemic material to date. The Bouncing Souls will be on tour all year to support the release, as well as headlining major festivals around the world. With over twenty eight years behind these legends from the Garden State, there's a lot more still to come.

Style History: Men Seldom Make Passes at Girls Who Wear Glasses
L-A: I was watching Rocky and She's All That this weekend (totally normal, right?) and came to learn that movie heroes like you with your glasses, but really, really like you when you take your glasses off. Even better, taking your glasses off is how you instantly develop a sense of style. Disheartening news as I shop for new glasses, but what are you going to do? I've got contacts for the days when I need to look like a lady whose got her shit together and glasses for the days when I'm looking to be a quirky hot mess.
A Brief History of Ladies (plus one dude)
and Their Makeovers
Losing the glasses or getting some lip gloss is how we get it together my friends, especially if we want someone to notice our beautiful eyes. Don't take my word for it, pop culture and the wise words of Dot Parker are on my side. Here's a sampling of the ladies (and one dude) who got their shit together by taking their glasses off.
I bet you never thought of either Audrey Hepburn or Julia Ormond as being geeky, and while no glasses are present, Audrey was clearly in need of a movie makeover.
One day it's "wheee! I'm Zooey Deschanel adorable in flats on a cute bike!" and then a makeover turns her into gamine et beaucoup de glamourous (manic pixie dreamgirl was apparently not so much a thing). All a girl needs is a haircut and some eyeliner and she's suddenly in Givenchy and all the dudes want her. If I thought this was the case, I'd make more of an effort to learn how to put on eyeliner.
Yo Adrian, you are the queen of geek to chic.
The Italian Stallion loved her no matter what, even when she was just selling him turtle food, but check out that before and after! The after, I would totally maim for these days. And when Rocky fights, she's got this bitchin' pant suit and red beret that you need to check out. And all she had to do was take off her glasses and get a better hair cut and BOOM! Hot stuff coming through. Rocky was right, she really does have beautiful eyes.
Breakfast Club
In movieland, quirky is kind of wrong. I mean, unless you're that magic pixie dreamgirl. Alas, Ally Sheedy was merely pixie. But behold the power of lipgloss!
I know they didn't want Mr. Vernon to pigeonhole them into the most convenient definitions possible and that we're all a brain, an athlete, a basketcase, a princess and a criminal, but clearly the athlete can't make out with the basketcase. But a reformed princess? Pigeonhole that shit, sister, because clearly its cuter and you want to nail the athlete. Plus, I bet this will look great on future college applications, the ones you were probably burning with magnifying glasses the week before.
Can't Buy Me Love
The dude of our roster of movie makeovers. He also needed to lose the glasses to get the style and the girl.
Yeah, I'm not sure I get this one. I think I'm having trouble digging an 80s dude makeover. Or maybe I have a soft spot for hipsters. Because Patrick Before Dempsey is way cuter than Patrick After Dempsey. But berets are only awesome when you're getting a lady makeover. However, the makeover did teach you a valuable lesson in friendship and social order in high schools, so there is an upside to it all. Plus the cheerleader. Always the cheerleader.
She's All That
While the "you have really pretty eyes" line didn't work for Freddie Prinze Jr, at least at first, she did catch on.
Falafel hat aside, did she really need a makeover from Anna Paquin? And I don't know about you, but she seemed too smart than to trust a stranger to pluck her brows and cut her hair. In her bathroom. Maybe the brows, but definitely not the hair. I'd have trouble taking a recommendation on a hair dresser from a stranger. But you know what? It's so good that she did get the amazing bathroom haircut. Because it meant getting the guy, getting in touch with her feelings and getting into art school.
Princess Diaries
Oh Princess Mia of a Fake European Principality! Such humble, frizzy haired beginnings!
And now look at your after shot! You are the very model of what contacts, tweezers and a good deep conditioning can do for a girl. I maintain you could have kept the glasses if you'd just chosen some better frames and then focused on tweezing and the deep conditioning (real talk: I believe in the power of tweezing and a good conditioner). You probably could have kept the curls. But where go the glasses, so to go the curls I suppose.
But when you're having a bad day Princess Mia and are feeling embarassed about the Before days, just remember that not every royal is a pretty royal. Yes, they can afford all the clothes and all the deep conditioner, but they can't all be Kate Middletons and that's okay. Just don't be like your friend Princess Charlene. Be your own Jane Austen novel, sweetie and marry for love! (I am, of course, speaking to Princess Mia in the first movie. I believe there is some wedding business in the sequel, but even I have my limits about what YA I'll watch/read, so I don't really know how it goes down).
Lesson Learned
You'll be cuter and better dressed without glasses. And dudes will dig you. And you will get everything you ever wanted. (Mostly) True Story. You can always keep the glasses for those days when you need to be a bit quirkier, weirder, and possibly single.*
*kidding. Also, I still need to find a pair of glasses. I've narrowed it down to about eight pairs.

The attainment of accreditations offered by professional bodies such as the Association for Project Management (APM) is increasingly seen as a recognised indicator of competence in project management. APM qualifications are aligned to the International Project Management Association (IPMA) Four-Level-Certification system, where the APMP: The APM Project Management Qualification is recognised at IPMA Level D.
This workshop provides delegates who have already acquired a solid understanding and practical experience of project management with a rapid route to the APMP: The APM Project Management Qualification examination (based on the APM Body of Knowledge, 6th Edition).
Select specific date to see price, venue and full details.
Learning Objectives
It will enable delegates to:
- Understand all elements of the APMP syllabus
- Get to grips with the specific examination language
- Learn strategies and tactics for approaching the examination. Examination practice and feedback is included in the workshop
At the end of this course you will be able to:
- Recognise the key concepts, techniques and processes in the APMP syllabus
- Adopt the best approach to the APMP: The APM Project Management Qualification examination
- Answer essay style questions on the APMP: The APM Project Management Qualification syllabus
This course is intended for project managers and aspiring project managers with at least two years project experience.
Delegates should have experience of working in a project environment and have a basic understanding of project management issues.
It is expected that delegates have undertaken a suitable form of preparation for the APMP (eg. The Project Management Qualification - The APM Project Management Qualification eLearning) before attending this course.
Course Content
The APM Project Management Qualification Preparation Workshop is designed to prepare delegates for the APMP exam. As such it is flexible in structure and focus, being driven in part by the needs of the delegates. Whilst there will be planned sessions that address specific aspects, such as exam techniques and exam practice, there will also be the opportunity for delegates to select topics to cover.
The course is intensive and therefore delegates are expected to undertake revision work in the evening to prepare for the examination that will be taken on the second day. The additional work required during evenings will comprise consolidation reading and mock examination questions. The evening work is integral to the course and delegates should expect to spend two to three hours on these activities.
Exams & Certification
The APM Project Management Qualification Examination
Examination practice and feedback is included in the workshop. The APMP examination is normally scheduled for 13:00 on the second day of the course.
Key exam information:
- Three hours duration
- Closed-book
- Ten essay-based questions to be selected from a total of 16. Each is worth 50 marks
- Candidates are required to achieve a minimum of 275 marks out of 500 (55%) to pass
Please note: delegates must bring photographic identification with them on the exam day (e.g. passport, driving license, company secure access card, student card) as it is an examination requirement to present it to the invigilator prior to the exam. Failure to produce a valid form of photographic identification may result in a candidate not being able to sit the exams.
By successfully passing the APMP examination candidates can choose to further develop their knowledge and understanding by preparing for the APMPQ Assessment Centre (IPMA Level C).
There is no pre-course reading for this course. Delegates are expected to have already undertaken preparation as described in the Prerequisites above.

Every year, when it comes time for a publicly traded company to make its annual report to shareholders, its CEO writes a letter thanking those shareholders for owning their stock, reflecting on the company's wins and losses, and offering some forward-looking projections for how that company will perform in the future. While most of these letters typically consist of misleading graphs that help break up pages of fluffy bullshit about how the CEO is focused on the long-term growth of the company and doesn't care whether the stock price goes up (while also justifying the stock buybacks that artificially prop it up), some corporate bigwigs like Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett use their annual letters as an opportunity to reflect on the nature of the world, the nature of business, and the nature of the world of business. Such letters are tomes of Fake Deep wisdom, revered by dudes who like to dress "zany" on Casual Friday. Jamie Dimon, CEO of the megabank JPMorgan Chase, is one such epistolary-minded titan of industry.
Jamie Dimon is a famous CEO for two reasons. One, he is very good at fulfilling his "fiduciary duty" to JPMorgan Chase's shareholders by creating value for them — most notably during the financial crisis of 2007-2008, when he was able to keep the company afloat at a time when basically every other bank was going under. Two, he oversaw JPMorgan Chase at a time when it was handing out a shitload of the bad loans that helped cause the financial crisis of 2007-2008, and in 2012, personally approved the actions of Bruno Iksil, the so-called "London Whale" who placed such heavy derivatives trades that he singlehandedly lost JPMorgan Chase $6 billion. Together, these scandals resulted in JPMorgan Chase paying a total of roughly $14 billion in fines over the course of 2013 (about $13 billion for helping cause the recession, plus a cool $920 million for the London Whale).
People in the finance world tend to focus on thing one (the good thing), while those of us in the real world tend to focus on the bad thing, a.k.a. the shoddy mortgages and irresponsible trades and billions of dollars in fines and all that. Intuitively, this makes sense: If a bank such as JPMorgan Chase is creating value for its shareholders, that value has to come from somewhere, frequently its customers. In other words, your opinion of Jamie Dimon probably depends on whether or not you're on the receiving end of his innovation that the bank industry should engage in the upward redistribution of wealth.
For Dimon, however, this is not enough. He is a well-known public figure, and it must be sort of a drag, I assume, to be hated by millions of strangers. Plus, if it could be said that you were both a cause and a beneficiary of the financial crisis, you might be interested in rehabilitating your image just a tad.
In recent years, Jamie Dimon has tried his hardest to take advantage of the incredibly low expectations America holds for its richest citizens, who can say things like "capitalism might have some problems, honestly" and be hailed as brave visionaries. Last January, the bank announced it was raising the minimum wages of its lowest-paid employees to $15-$18 per hour, essentially voluntarily meeting the demands of the significant coalition of activists advocating for a national minimum wage of $15 per hour. On March 14, it was announced that JPMorgan Chase would no longer finance private prisons, while a few days later, Dimon did, indeed, admit that America was "fundamentally anti-poor."
It's his annual shareholder letters, though, where Dimon really relishing in talking his shit. While high-level finance people tend to promote a specific vision of the world in which peace, or at least global stability, and the spread of free-market capitalism go hand in hand — after all, if your country is involved in a serious war, you probably aren't thinking too hard about getting a loan to start a business or buy a house — Dimon's shareholder letters have taken on an activist edge in the Trump era. This started in April of 2017 with his letter shareholders covering the 2016 fiscal year, in which he advocated for an increase in education spending offset by decreased military budgets, lamented the effects that increased healthcare costs and mass incarceration have had on the economy, and generally came across, as The New Yorker joked, "like a more restrained Bernie Sanders."
These themes, of economic inequality and the stagnation of American middle-class progress, were also present in his most recent shareholder letter, which was issued early last week. In tone and substance, it is not substantially different from the 2017 letter, once again touching on the numerous ailments to the United States that most rational people agree really ought to be fixed. "America has always had its flaws," Dimon writes. "Some of its more recent issues center on income inequality, stagnant wages, lack of equal opportunity, immigration and lack of access to healthcare." Which, yeah, sure, fine. I'm a firm believer that you deserve credit for being able to point out there's a bird in the sky even if you only know it's there because it just crapped on your head.
But then Dimon gets to the really good stuff:
Is capitalism to blame? Is socialism better?
There is no question that capitalism has been the most successful economic system the world has ever seen. It has helped lift billions of people out of poverty, and it has helped enhance the wealth, health and education of people around the world. Capitalism enables competition, innovation and choice.
I point this passage out specifically because it's more or less a mashup of rhetoric used by The Heritage Foundation (read the first paragraph of this), as well as Sean Hannity (read this transcript and keep scrolling until you get to the part where he screams about Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez), and also because whenever a rich finance guy starts talking about socialism you know you're in for a wild ride. He continues, with some even better stuff:
When governments control companies, economic assets (companies, lenders and so on) over time are used to further political interests – leading to inefficient companies and markets, enormous favoritism and corruption. As Margaret Thatcher said, "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." Socialism inevitably produces stagnation, corruption and often worse — such as authoritarian government officials who often have an increasing ability to interfere with both the economy and individual lives — which they frequently do to maintain power. This would be as much a disaster for our country as it has been in the other places it's been tried.
This assertion, coming from Dimon, is hilarious, given that when Jamie Dimon controls a company, he will further its interests politically by personally calling legislators trying to convince them to vote for bills that will make him money, as well as do things that interfere with the economy — such as helping cause a financial crisis — and individual lives — such as screwing people over by giving them loans despite knowing they weren't in a position to pay them back. Throw in his random invocation of Margaret Thatcher, and I offer the above passage as proof that Jamie Dimon is at least as funny as mid-tier comedian Colin Jost.
The fact that Dimon is so incensed by the specter of creeping socialism is telling. It's easy to imagine a world in which a politician like Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren becomes president, nationalizes the healthcare system to at least some degree, and then causes people to wonder what other stuff should be taken out of the hands of profit-seeking CEOs with a hard-on about dividend increases. For years, Sanders has advocated for revitalizing the lagging postal system by authorizing every post office to perform basic banking services. Meanwhile, the idea of communities putting their money in state-owned public banks, rather than privately held banking institutions, is growing in popularity, especially as operators in the legal weed industry need a place to put all their cash. Hell, even Andrew Yang's goofy-ass "everybody gets a thousand bucks a month, ESPECIALLY gamers" platform might convince people that they don't need banks such as JPMorgan Chase to live their lives. I realize that personal banking, which I am referring to above, only makes up a fraction of what large banks such as the one Dimon runs actually does, but megabanks only work if they have other people's money to do crazy shit with, and in a more socialist country, those other people might put their money elsewhere and put the Jamie Dimons of the world out of a job in the process.
Politically, Dimon could best be described as a "centrist" in the Howard Schultz sense of the word: socially liberal, but with a self-serving fiscal sensibility that he convinces himself is not somehow at odds with whatever "progressive" views he might have. In that same shareholder letter, Dimon praises Trump's big business-favoring tax cuts before arguing that they don't go far enough: He claims that countries, in order to reap any taxes from large companies, need to bend over backwards before those companies find another country that will. He doubled down on this assertion yesterday while appearing in front of the House Financial Services Committee, offering his weaselly "Eh, whaddya gonna do?" argument in response to a barbed line of questioning from Rep. Nydia Velazquez.
"It's not enough just for companies to meet the letter and the spirit of the law. They can also aggressively work to improve society," writes Dimon as he inches towards the conclusion of his 50-page letter that, frankly, I wish I had not read the entirety of. In his view, governments should act more like companies, competing with one another in order to earn the pittance of tax revenues doled out by global megacorporations. It only follows, then, that he thinks companies should conduct themselves more like governments, engaging in ostensibly selfless efforts to improve society for the better. This is a tack I suspect we'll see more of in the future, a fundamentally conservative appeal made by those in positions of power that uses the language of social justice to cling desperately to a status quo that ultimately favors them, rather than dramatically shifting power away from those who have proven that they in no way deserve it.
Hearing a CEO like Jamie Dimon argue that the solution to capitalism is for he and his colleagues to aspire to a greater degree of social responsibility is not unlike hearing an unrepentant alcoholic argue that the solution for drunk driving is for he and his drinking buddies to take driving lessons — after all, if you take their licenses away, how the hell are him and his friends going to get around town? Jamie Dimon's billions of dollars in fines does not grant him an ounce of moral clarity; he is vaguely woke strictly out of a sense of self-preservation.
The metaphor I used in the above paragraph was not 100 percent apt. After all, driving under the influence of alcohol is a clear, and clearly punishable, crime, but there is no equally enforceable law for serving as an accessory to a recession. So let me try again: If a soldier returns home from combat to tell you that war is hell, then you should believe them; if a banker returns from paying $14 billion in fines to tell you that America is broken; then you should believe him as well — and then throw him in jail for breaking it.

Seniors learn about retirement plan options at seminar
From annuities to reverse mortgages, financial educator David Carboni laid out the details of successful retirement planning Saturday during a seminar at the Greenwich Senior Center.
Carboni, a certified financial planner who travels the country giving educational advice, told a group of about 25 seniors that the more tools they have in their metaphorical "financial toolbox," the better.
"You've got to have a balanced perspective," he told the crowd. "I want to put things in your imagination, as tools in your toolbox."
Carboni explored options to help seniors "rescue their retirement" from the economic downturn that has impacted the country in recent years. He discussed different investment strategies and benefits in various insurance plans and lifestyle changes.
One way to stretch retirement savings, he said, is to relocate from expensive areas like Greenwich to areas like Brownsville, Texas, where a dollar goes a lot of further due to much lower real estate values.
"I understand not everyone is willing to move," he said.
Other aspects of the three-hour presentation included investing in long-term care insurance, hedging strategies and the benefits of putting off collecting Social Security.
"You never want to add more than you need to reach your objectives," Carboni said when discussing retirement portfolio investment strategies.
Gerry Mayfield, who sat engaged throughout the presentation, even asking a question or two, said he found the seminar useful.
"It was very good. He was professional and knowledgeable," Mayfield said.
Joan Catalano and Mary Lou Campisi said they too found the presentation helpful in formulating retirement planning objectives and ideas.
"It was very informative," Catalano. said "I got a lot out of it."
"I thought it was a very good presentation," Campisi added. "It was nice coming to talk to someone that didn't have an agenda."
Carboni said he is hired to give talks by all kinds of institutions, and his main appeal is that he doesn't sell his services or any financial-planning products, as some speakers do.
Carboni, who owns Hamden-based DKC Retirement Associates, does not give one-on-one investment advice. Rather, he gives group talks like Saturday's at the senior center and provides feedback on his Web site.
"I teach people to make better financial decisions to improve their future," he said after the talk.
Carboni said while everyone's retirement plans differ, and there are numerous options on how to invest, there is one piece of advice that is beneficial to everyone -- getting educated on the topic.
"The best investment you can make," he said, "is to invest in your own learning."
Saturday's free seminar was hosted by the the Greenwich Commission on Aging.

Splinter Orchestra
Split Rec 27
Making a virtue out of necessity, Sydney, Australia's 19-member Splinter Orchestra (SO) wraps a succession of challenges into a mammoth – 3 CD – package to produce a definition of contemporary antipodean improvisation. However like theoretical scientists who serendipitously solve an equation only to come up with a broader conundrum, new queries still exist after pondering this more than 2¼ hour creation.
One of the overriding concerns of musicians convinced of the transformative properties of aleatory music is how to make a large ensemble function with the fluidity and flexibility of a smaller one. Another concern is how best to utilize non-studio spaces so that the chance textures that arise from relocation will properly figure into a recording. For a practical demonstration, the SO packed up and relocated for three days within the country's vast Mungo National Park. The results are mixed. In terms of reflecting SO's three preferred recording locales – two tracks from the ruined Zanci Homestead and one each from an 1869 woodshed and another from a dirt airstrip in the dark – the results are so of a piece that sonic differentiation is limited. Despite the presence of seven horn players, five string players, three percussionists and others employing electronics, objects and their own voices, the outcomes are as egoless as a patient after extended ECT sessions. There are no stand-out soloists because there are no solos as such, only the melding and mulching of tones, textures and timbres.
With that noted, of all the creations, it's "Woolshed (Sunset)", which takes up all of CD2 with the longest un-segmented track, which comes across best. Perhaps like most persons' preference for compromise, the microtonal narrative takes hold because the structure suggests some citified encroachment on an area that's otherwise rustic. Mixed among the very distant echoes of insects and animals – which are actually more prominent on the two tracks from "Zanci Homestead" – are equivalent echoes of shop and warehouse activities. The nearly 55½-minute creation isn't some occult mediation on the metaphysical past however, with audible vibrations arising spontaneously from the structure and its surroundings. Instead the stereo mics pick up enough inflections from the instruments to confirm their presence. Throughout a threatening drone underscores the narration as brittle workshop floor-like noises mix with intermittent reed puffs, drum smacks and tremolo harmonium judders. Like a symphony's first movement, a summation appears one-third of the way through, built out of a single guitar stoke outlined against metallic reverberations. Further on, blats sourced by pressing saxophone bells against metal plate(s) characterize the rigid part of the theme as wispy male and female voices swell and diminish vocals into whistles and twitters producing and adding more pliable timbres. Later, forceful animal-like and mechanized intimations via reed tongue slaps, saxophone overblowing, sawing double bass strings, and clever percussion whisks plus steel-drum-like reverberations confirm the composition's malleable dual nature as it evolves into the last sequence. Climatically the polyphonic finale which reflects a cornucopia of buzz-saw-like mechanism, flute wisps and reed smears, yodels and beast-like snorts confirms the balance between human-sourced and other sounds, plus instrument-created and found acoustics that characterize this exercise by the SO.
Appending everything from desolate flute snippets, bell peals and fiddle strokes as well as dense electrical drones, the SO bolsters the program throughout the other tracks. Like the mummy's curse that comes with the discovery of gold deposits however, the program proves that the SO has overcome two challenges to expose a third. These CDs confirm that a large orchestra can practice free improvisation with small group flexibility. And the program shows that outdoor site performance can be as organically connected as a studio gig. But Mungo also resemble a multi-paged book, doorstop-sized because the author insists on putting in every concept imaginable. For full appreciation of this set, listening to maximum one disc at a time will suffice. Its configuration and capability will be best appreciated with appropriate separation and reflection.

Stephen Gates and His Father, John
During his kicking lesson Stephen worked hard on his foot position on the ball and refining his technique.
Later in the first lesson Stephen worked on punting technique and a nose down Drop. After the video review session I came up with a game plan for the second day.
The second day I introduced Stephen to my Power Zone Punting Technique. He worked hard on my Drop Progression and One Step Drills.
It was a pleasure meeting and working with Stephen and I wish him the best of luck next season.

Ashlee and Pete finalise divorce
ASHLEE Simpson and Pete Wentz's divorce has been finalised.
According to, the couple - who split in February after three and a half years of marriage - formally ended their union on November 22.
However, TMZ reports details of the pair's divorce settlement are being kept under wraps, and it is unclear who will be given primary physical custody of the couple's three-year-old son Bronx.
Ashlee and Pete are also believed to have worked out a "secret deal" regarding the division of their other assets and multi-million dollar empire.
The former Fall Out Boy rocker previously admitted he and his estranged wife were working together to make sure they make home life as "easy as possible" for Bronx.
He said: "Everything at home is good. We try to make his life as easy to navigate as possible and he's growing up so it's important for everyone who loves him to be involved with his life."

So, as I was saying, I came to understand earlier this year that the practice of zhan zhuang was something that is hugely beneficial to my health, and that yiquan, which is based on zhan zhuang, is the martial art with which I most identify.
Neither of of these insights is particularly new, of course; I've been saying as much on this blog and elsewhere for some years now. However, it hadn't been clear to me what I could do about it, as my previous study in yiquan hadn't had any clear way to progress.
The week I spent studying with Master Yao Chengguang in July of this year, however, clarified things for me. Master Yao has established a well-thought-out curriculum, through which students can progress to instructor level. I decided it was time that I committed to that path so, in late August, I contacted Master Yao again, explained that I wanted to train until I could qualify as an instructor in his lineage, and asked to join his school.
This path was outlined in his website – which as it happens went offline in June, just before I trained at the Zongxun Wuguan! However, I have a copy. The progression is:
- Stage 1: complete the Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced courses before taking an exam.
- Stage 2: Study yiquan theory, skills, and combat training, before taking a final exam.
- Stage 3: Become a training intern for 3 months in order to obtain an instructor's certificate.
To clarify what that means, of the 27 modules in Master Yao's curriculum, the Elementary course covers Modules 1-4. the Intermediary covers Modules 5-16, and the Advanced is Modules 17-27.
So, having established what I was aiming for, I was able to arrange a week off work in late September and, twice a day, attended class. I don't know that I particularly need to go into detail as it's all pretty mundane. I went, I trained, I left. By the end of the week, I was exhausted: it's hard work.
There was usually one other student, and sometimes up to three or four, all Chinese. We were all about the same kind of level, some a bit better, some not quite as good, but with no huge differences. What really helped was that everyone was willing to help the others, pointing out problems, and explaining the correct method. This kind of collaborative learning is incredibly helpful as far as I'm concerned, My Chinese is just good enough to get by, and of course Master Yao is accustomed to teaching foreigners, plus I have his books and DVDs, so there weren't really any communication problems.
It's not quite the same as when I trained here in 2008, but not dissimilar. Then, there were students living in the school; now, the living areas are being used more by Master Yao and his wife, and there are no residential students. In 2008, I felt that the school was too aggressive in its training; now, I understand that Master Yao is keeping the art of yiquan authentic, a true and practical martial art. Then, I was bothered by Master Yao and other students smoking in what is basically a poorly-ventilated basement apartment and now… yeah, that still bothers me, to be honest, though I'm far less worried about it than I was then, if only because well, a smoke-filled basement, Beijing's pollution, same same.
Also, in that regard, that's what the masters of Master Yao's generation are like. I had the privilege, also in 2008, of training with baguazhang Master Sun Zhijun, who also smoked heavily during classes. Many do. Sadly, Master Sun died recently, and it's made me realise that the older generation are passing away now. These are the last real masters; they're the last to have been trained in the old way, the last to have made their living primarily through martial arts. This is my last opportunity to train with a living legend of martial arts, and I intend to take that opportunity.
Counting the material I covered in 2008 when I first trained with Master Yao for a month, the week I did in June, and the week I've just completed in September, I have completed approximately 22 to 23 of the original 27 modules, with a 28th having been added since the curriculum was originally developed. That means roughly 6 modules to finish before I've covered all of the material; then I'll need to work hard to review it all before I can consider taking the test to complete Stage 1. I'm fortunate that the week in which I'm writing this is a holiday in China, so I'm able to make a solid start in reviewing things, but I have a goodly way to go before Stage 2!
My next visit will be for a week at the end of this month, October 2017. Master Yao says we'll be focussing on tui shou – the hands-on partner work that I haven't been able to train on my own. Crikey. If I thought the weeks in June and September were hard work, this promises to be far more so…. I'll keep you updated…

Canadian Chills #2
Arthur Slade
Coteau Books
Coteau Books' motto is Amazing stories, Amazing kids. This series by Arthur Slade lives up to that motto. I have now read two of the three and they are great stories. Walter the 'Wart' Bigger Bronson and Cindy his best friend witness a ghost in their school and they follow it to the historic Bessborough Hotel. While there, they are transported back in time to 1936. Walter and Cindy are twelve year old detectives and they investigate the paranormal.
This book is a ghost story that is both intense and humorous. Walter states early in the book: "The main reason this time travel and ghostly otherworldly stuff happens is because I live in Saskatoon. The problem with Saskatoon is that no one believes it exists. Oh sure, the people who live here, Saskatonians (or Saskatoonians or Tooners), they know the place is real, but step outside the city limits and no one believes there is, or ever was, such a place as Saskatoon. … Saskatoon is the Bermuda Triangle of the prairies. It's the ghost capital of Canada." So after encountering a ghost who led them into the past they must now figure out what is bothering the ghost and how to settle its spirit.
Ghost Hotel and the whole Canadian Chills series studies the world of the mysterious, the unknown and attempts to answer questions. It helps readers explore questions and 'what ifs' that often arise in life. Wart and Cindy have a great friendship and the characters are believable, and as they delve into the mystery they must find inner strength and character in order to get through this mystery together. It is a great story in a great series.

Topic: Ronald Tracey Matheson (1874-1915)
Topic type:
Mining agent and South African War (Boer War) veteran Ronald Tracey Matheson was killed in action during World War I in South West Africa on 27 April 1915. He was the son of early Tauranga settlers Robert and Sarah Matheson. Story by Debbie McCauley.
Does this article look wrong? Click here for an archived version.
Ronald Tracey Matheson was born in Tauranga in January 1874 to Otumoetai farmers Robert McGregor and Sarah Matheson (nee O'Rorke) who married in New Zealand in 1870 (reg. 1870/4950). Sarah had arrived in New Zealand as a young child with her parents from Ireland and settled in Otahuhu in Auckland.
In 1869 Robert had purchased a 123 acre block which he called Fairview from Tauranga Maori. Otumoetai Pa had been deserted since the Tauranga battles of the New Zealand Wars in 1864. The Matheson Homestead was built in the 1920s.
Most of the land in this Historic Reserve was acquired from the Government by Robert Matheson in 1870. The eastern half of the beach land was purchased from Hori Ngatai and Renata Toriri in 1881. This, together with the 110 acres of land on the western and southern sides purchased from James and Edward Foley in 1869 brought the Matheson farm up to a 123 acres. The farm extended along the western side of the Otumoetai road from the seashore to about the number 400 on that road, the old boundary with the Tollemache farm "Bentley" ("Bentleigh"). The boundary then ran west to near the railway line, then north through the line of Meadowland Street across the present Levers Road to the seashore (Tauranga City Council, p. 16).
Ronald was a mining agent and a South African War (Boer War) (1899-1902) veteran, mentioned in dispatches for capturing a small party of three armed Boers, and for carrying wounded men to safety.
Robert McGregor Matheson died in Otumoetai on 30 May 1906 (reg. 1906/376) and was buried in Tauranga Catholic Cemetery.
Ronald enlisted to fight during World War I. He served with the Union Forces of South Africa.
Lieutenant Ronald Tracey Matheson was killed in action in South West Africa on 27 April 1915, aged 38. His death notices read:
MATHESON The Prime Minister has advised Mr C P Stitchbury of Auckland of the death of his brother-in-law Lieut Ronald T Matheson, who was killed in action in German West Africa. Lieut Matheson was a native of Tauranga and went to the Transvaal in 1900. He fought in the South African war as a member of the Imperial Light Horse, and when the present war started he volunteered and received a commission. He had been through all the fighting in German South West Africa. His widowed mother resides at Tauranga. Deceased was the elder son of the late Mr Robert Matherson of Otumoetai, Tauranga, and a brother of Mr Alister Matheson of Otumoetai. He was well known to old residents and his mother, brother and sisters will have the sincere sympathy of a large circle of friends in their great bereavement. [Bay of Plenty Times, 6 May 1915, p. 5 and Evening Post, 6 May 1915, p. 2]
The late Lieutenant Ronald T Matheson, who was killed in action in German South West Africa, left Auckland in 1900 just after the outbreak of the Boer War, and joined the Imperial Light Horse. He was twice mentioned in despatches for capturing a small party of three armed Boers, and for carrying wounded men to safety. When he met his death he was evidently serving as Lieutenant with the Union forces of South Africa. The news of the death of Lieutenant Matheson will be received with regret by a large circle of friends in Tauranga. [Bay of Plenty Times, 8 May 1915, p. 2 and Bay of Plenty Times, 11 June 1915, p. 2]
The majority of South African and German burials in Namibia are the casualties of the battle of Gibeon which took place on 27 April 1915. Memorials to the Natal Light Horse and German dead have been erected.
Ronald was the uncle of Tauranga historian Alister Hugh Matheson (1925-2011), and brother of Alister's father [also Alister Hugh Matheson], who also served during both the South African War (Boer War) and World War I.

Earlier this year, we were approached by Delaney Hall of KUT Radio here in Austin. She was beginning work on a new collaborative project with Texas Music Matters called the Austin Music Map with the goal of documenting some interesting, though lesser-known, music venues in Austin. An interactive website, complete with extended interviews, video, and more photos, is scheduled to be launched very soon.
The first place on her list? The Moose Lodge, where we held our 3-day Conjunto Festival in February. She had heard about the variety of music performed there, our festival and our efforts to support live Conjunto music in Austin and wanted to know more about the venue and our future plans as well. Check it out on KUT's website.
We appreciate the opportunity to contribute and look forward to working together again in the future.
