A four-year-old boy was knocked down and killed by a van just yards from his home.
Charlie McDonagh was seriously injured by the impact at the Ardnacassa estate area of Longford town just before 3pm and he died a short time later.
He was playing near his home when he was struck by the vehicle on Wednesday.
Charlie was the eldest of three young children and his parents Charlie and Pearl are popular and respected members of the local Travelling community.
Gardai and emergency services rushed to the scene to tend to the stricken boy who was brought to hospital, but he sadly died shortly after the impact.
Longford Municipal District Cathaoirleach Peggy Nolan said: “There is an air of gloom hanging over the entire community and our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
“People are saying what a terrible tragedy and they are shocked.
“I got a phone call earlier from one local woman who was in tears and she was saying people will be hugging their children tighter and holding them closer tonight and that is so true.
“Everyone’s thoughts and prayers are with the family.
“I don’t know who knocked down the child but God look down on them as well.
“There’s two families whose hearts are torn out of them tonight.”
It is understood the family was being comforted by relatives last night.
Some local residents, who did not want to be identified, said they believed ramps could have previously installed on the road.
Gardai have asked anyone with any information to contact Longford station on 043 3350570, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.

text: Lifestyle Style Sheinelle Jones Says She Was 'Really Nervous' to Embrace Her Natural Hair on the Today Show "It's definitely a 'step' that is long overdue for me personally," the 3rd Hour of Today co-host said By Kaitlyn Frey Kaitlyn Frey Instagram Twitter Assistant Style & Beauty Editor, PEOPLE People Editorial Guidelines Published on May 13, 2020 02:47 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Sheinelle Jones/Instagram Today's Sheinelle Jones is getting candid about the emotional journey of embracing her natural hair texture on national television. Normally when the 3rd Hour of Today co-host films each morning from NBC's headquarters in midtown Manhattan, she styles her naturally curly hair in a straight, blown-out style. "I have always wanted to try wearing my hair in a natural hairstyle on the show, but I didn’t know how to do it," Jones, 42, said in an essay published on Today.com. "In our business, the demands of having our hair styled every morning can be a bit tough, so it never seemed like I had time to figure it out." But while Jones has been shooting the morning show remotely from her home due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, she decided that now was the perfect time to give it a shot. With the help of celebrity hairstylist Takisha Sturdivant-Drew, who works with everyone from Kerry Washington to Yara Shahidi, Jones tried a natural look and filmed herself styling it for a Today segment. "We video chatted and [Takisha] walked me through what’s known as a 'twist out,' a method of twisting hair piece-by-piece. You can watch our chat and her full tutorial on the 3rd Hour of Today [see clip above]," Jones said. RELATED PHOTOS: See How Celebrities Are Taking Over Their Own Hair Styling at Home Even though the co-host said she "found the process of twisting little pieces one at a time a tad tedious" she also discovered that while she doing the twist out method, it was "also therapeutic at the same time." Jones added, "And I have to be honest: When I took out the twists Monday morning, I was really nervous!" Despite her nerves, Jones fell in love with her new hairstyle. "I took the jump and I’m so glad I did," she said. But the process of embracing coily texture in the public eye was still an emotional experience for the star.

Nathan Congleton/NBCU "I realized, particularly as an African American woman on network news, it’s not something you see often — and it’s definitely a 'step' that is long overdue for me personally," Jones said of seeing women with natural hair texture on television. "I felt obligated to call my executive producer before I went on-air — just to let her know that I was a bit nervous — and when we FaceTimed, her eyes lit up. She told me she loved it." Now, Jones said she plans on adding her curly hair look to "the rotation of styles I like to wear throughout the week." "It would’ve been kind of cool [when I was a little girl] to see someone on the news who had my hair, and I hope I can offer that to little brown girls I may never meet," she said.

Brazilian Import: People Who Shop Together…
DIANE VON FURSTENBERG, CARLOS JEREISSATI, CECILIA DEAN
PHOTO BY PATRICK MCMULLAN
Diane von Furstenberg is looking south these days–specifically to Sao Paulo. She opened a shop in the shopping center Iguatemi not quite two months ago, and the numbers suggest that her new presence in Brazil is quite welcome. Last night, the designer held a dinner in honor of Carlos Jereissati, longtime family friend and CEO of Iguatemi, last night at her very busy studio.
Diane gave a toast to Jereissati: “I had always heard Iguatemi, Iguatemi, Iguatemi, I thought, ‘How excited can you be about a shopping center?’ I didn’t really understand what it was. And I have to tell you, Iguatemi is really not just a shopping center, it is really a community. I have never seen it anywhere else—it is a world. It’s 45 years old; mothers and daughters and granddaughters shop and eat and get their hair done and people met and have lunch. It is the only place in the world that is the shopping center that has a soul,” Diane explained.
“In all the countries of the future, Brazil is where the future will be the most pleasant,” Diane continued, urging guests to look into business in Brazil. “It’s incredible how open the Brazil consumer is, and she doesn’t care about the price-she buys anyway. And she buys it for her sister, and she buys it in every color, and she buys it again because she lost it.”
Jereissati remarked fondly of DVF’s taste and aura. “I think the way she is, is very much the way the Brazilian woman is.” Maybe it’s because she “buys anyway.”
He explained other similarities between New York and Sao Paolo. “It is a financial center, working city, people are very crazy-doing a lot of stuff together. They love fashion, they love to go out, they love nightlife, dining, appreciate the best. They really want to have the best in their life and they work for hard to do that. Sao Paolo is the version of New York in South America.”
Before he headed off to the 18th Floor at the Standard Hotel, we asked Jereissati if he suggested a great nightlife spot in Sao Paolo. If any readers plan to head to Brazil, be it for business or pleasure, it sounds like Numero is the place to be.


ALMOST 300 incidents of abuse against shop staff have been reported to police since a new law protecting retail workers came into force on 24 August last year.
Under the Protection of Workers Act, it is now a specific offence to assault, threaten or abuse a shopworker.
Figures from the Scottish Business Resilience centre, covering 24 August to 30 November 2021, revealed 285 incidents of threats and abuse were reported to Police Scotland over the period.
The Scottish Grocers’ Federation, which actively supported Daniel Johnson MSP’s campaign to introduce the Protection of Workers Act, has been urging retailers to report every incident of crime.
Since the law came into force, SGF has been working to raise awareness among retailers and their staff through its ‘Don’t Put Up With It’ campaign.
Dr John Lee, head of policy at SGF, said the message is “getting out loud and clear” that threats and abuse are unacceptable, and that “those responsible will be punished”.
He said: “While every incident is one too many, the statistics show that the Protection of Workers Act is effective, is much needed and that store owners and their staff are unafraid to use it.
“What’s more, it’s reassuring to see how serious Police Scotland are treating the complaints made, with every incident reported either having been investigated or under active investigation. This gives retailers confidence that these crimes are being taken seriously.”
- The Protection of Workers Act was passed unanimously by the Scottish Parliament in 2021. The Act was introduced as a private member bill by Scottish Labour MSP Daniel Johnson, with support from SGF and other trade associations and unions. The Protection of Workers Act makes assaulting, threatening, abusing, obstructing or hindering a shopworker a specific criminal offence. Under the new Act, abusing or assaulting staff during the sale of an age-restricted item could also be charged as an aggravation – with the potential for more severe sentencing.

On my first date when I was fifteen, I was sure I was coming down with the flu. My stomach was in knots and every cell in my body was screaming at me, ‘Don’t go. Don’t do it!’ I called my sister on the way to the movie theatre, telling her that I was going to puke in the middle of the street.
Luckily, I didn’t puke on the cute guy I was seeing. I didn’t die or get kidnapped. And I definitely I didn’t have the flu. I had anxiety.
Ever since then, first dates have been my own kind of hell. Online dating in college was my worst nightmare and I usually had to resort to alcohol to calm my nerves (like at the very least two shots worth of alcohol). After college ended and as I started to work full time, I deleted my online dating apps and stopped trying.
Anxiety was ruining my love life. And I was letting it.
I let anxiety take the reigns. I let anxiety stop me from dating. I let anxiety control what I did and what I didn’t do. I let my anxiety stop me from the possibility of love. I let anxiety drive the car while I convinced myself it was the best thing to do.
At a certain point after being single for two years, I decided I needed to get a grip with reality and with my anxiety. After two years of being single, I decided to suck it up. And to finally just be a big girl and do it.
This is how I did it. I started going out more with my friends instead of hibernating all day and watching Netflix. I started going to coffeeshops instead of working in my bed. I started having more conversations, communicating with people who I ordinarily wouldn’t have even laid eyes on. And you know what? People started asking me out. And I started saying yes.
I’m not saying it’s been smooth sailing. I’m not saying I’m a pro dater now and that first dates make me want to jump for joy. I still get scared out of my mind. I still feel that pit of nerves in the bottom of my stomach just waiting for me to spill my drink or stutter over my words.
I still get scared. But I don’t let that stop me anymore.
Anxiety will always be a part of me. It will always be there with me on first dates and probably on most days, but it doesn’t have to control me now. It doesn’t have to tell me what I can and cannot do. It doesn’t have to rule my world.
I still don’t go on date after date like I’m Charlotte York from ‘Sex And The City’. I don’t serial date. I don’t feel like I have to date all the time. But, now when the opportunity comes along, I don’t back out. Now when the opportunity comes along, I take a few deep breaths and walk out the door. Now when the opportunity comes along, I don’t let anxiety win.
Despite the shaky hands. Despite the shaky legs and the upset stomach. Despite all of it. You can’t let it win. You can’t let it control you. You can’t let anxiety take your life away from you.
So, walk out that door no matter how scared you are. Call up that girl or that guy no matter how much your voice shakes. Take control of your life. You deserve to be happy. To meet new people and to explore life. You deserve to take the reigns of your own life.

A nose that is too large or oddly shaped can detract from your natural beauty and prevent you from breathing with ease. When this occurs, a rhinoplasty with Dr. Kotis can alter its shape and structure – creating a new nose that looks natural and works beautifully.
Straighten a crooked nose to create facial symmetry
Reduce the width of your nose so that it fits in with your other features
Correct nasal bumps and other imperfections
Draw attention to other areas of your face, like your eyes and smile
Improve your breathing capabilities
Fix structural defects, such as a deviated septum
If you are unhappy with the appearance or function of your nose, you may be interested in learning more about the rhinoplasty procedure.
In general, you will be considered a candidate for this surgery if you have:
Breathing difficulties due to nasal structural issues
A nose that is too wide, large or small for your face
A bulbous, drooping or protruding nasal tip
Bumps and other nasal imperfections
Dr. Kotis will perform your rhinoplasty under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort and safety. During surgery, he will take an open or closed approach, depending on your needs and goals. Here’s what you need to know about your options:
With the closed rhinoplasty approach, all incisions are made within the nostrils to ensure that scars are completely hidden from view.
This procedure is ideal for small nasal adjustments and can be used to correct issues inside the nose.
The open rhinoplasty requires incisions on the outside of the nose, typically along the tissue separating the nostrils.
This approach allows for increased access to the nasal tissue, so that Dr. Kotis can correct deep structural problems. It’s the ideal approach for patients who need to address both aesthetic and functional issues.
The duration of your recovery will depend on the extent of the procedure. In general, the closed rhinoplasty heals more quickly than the open approach.
Here’s a quick look at what to expect as you heal from your nose job:
Stay home from work for about two weeks
Expect swelling and bruising for the first few weeks
Avoid sneezing or putting pressure on your nose during the recovery period
It’s important to have realistic expectations about your nose job results. Residual swelling and bruising can obstruct your new appearance for the first few weeks after surgery and it can take up to a full year for your nose’s final contours to settle.
These are uncertain, challenging times for the world, our country, our community, our patients and our staff. The health and safety of our patients and employees will always be our top priority. We translate our values into actions that define us; caring for our patients is our number one goal, and your safety is our success.
As we continue to monitor developments related to COVID-19 in the U.S., we have also been following the local current events very closely as it pertains to medical practices and our professional responsibility during this time.
Although we would love to help you achieve your aesthetic goals we will be revising our schedule starting the week of March 23rd 2020. We will move to a very limited schedule in order to provide you with the safest care possible and to better protect our staff. Dr. Kotis will only see patients as needed until further notice. We will continue to observe cautious protocols.
We appreciate your patience as we work together to ensure we are providing the most optimal clinical safety precautions and care.
Be well and stay safe!

Every advertisement and promotion for this week’s Zozo Championship will heavily feature Hideki Matsuyama. The same was true in 2019 when the PGA Tour’s only Japanese event debuted and in 2021 when Matsuyama, the country’s golfing icon, arrived as the reigning Masters champion and proceeded to win the event. Clearly, he is pivotal to the identity of Zozo Championship.
More broadly, though, he has become critical to the future of the PGA Tour. Throughout the summer, rumor after rumor tied Matsuyama to the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series, with offers reportedly in the $300- to $400-million range. If those figures seem high, keep in mind that signing Hideki likely would have earned LIV a Japanese TV deal.
But it didn’t happen.
In late August, Hideki ended the courtship and LIV dropped a few Japanese players who were apparently serving as placeholders for a Matsuyama-led team. The failed negotiations were a blow to LIV’s efforts to gain traction in a big, lucrative golf market.
These days, Hideki is, as he said in a pre-tournament press conference, “fully committed to the PGA Tour.” He added, “The players who left did so because they thought it was the right thing to do. So I can’t say anything about them. I am playing on the PGA Tour and I want to continue doing my best.” He also expressed support for the Tour at last month’s Presidents Cup: “Simply, [the PGA Tour] is where I belong.”
There have been no media reports about what the PGA Tour might have said to Matsuyama’s camp in recent months. Maybe the two sides haven’t talked at all. Regardless, the Tour owes Hideki a debt of gratitude. He is the biggest non-Western star in the men’s game, the same one who was snubbed in last year’s Player Impact Program payouts, and who could have set off a domino effect by leaving. He helped the Tour avert disaster, at least for now.
Hideki will undoubtedly feel the love from the Zozo fans this weekend. He’d better start feeling the same from execs in Ponte Vedra, and soon.

- NZD/USD takes offers to renew multi-day low, ignores Wednesday’s corrective pullback.
- Bearish chart pattern hints at further downside but RSI signals limited room to the south.
- Convergence of 10-DMA, channel’s resistance line restricts short-term rebound, if any.
NZD/USD stands on slippery grounds during early Thursday morning in Europe, dropping to the fresh low since June 2020 while taking offers near 0.6255 by the press time.
In doing so, the Kiwi pair might have reacted to the latest risk-off mood, as well as the US dollar rebound, while staying inside a one-month-old descending trend channel.
Considering a no-stop road to the south and the latest sour sentiment, NZD/USD is likely to remain bearish, approaching the support line of the stated channel, near 0.6190 by the press time.
Though, the RSI conditions are oversold and may test the bears around the 0.6200 round figure.
Alternatively, the previous support line from August 2021, close to 0.6350, will act as immediate resistance.
However, buyers will wait for a clear break of the 0.6390 resistance confluence, encompassing the 10-DMA and the stated channel’s upper line, to regain short-term optimism.

People tend to feel more energised, relaxed and confident after drinking and the positive effects on mood tend to outweigh the negatives, according to a survey of 30,000 people in 21 countries in the journal BMJ Open.
Co-author Professor Mark Bellis, who is also Public Health Wales' director of policy, research and global development, added: "For centuries, the history of rum, gin, vodka and other spirits has been laced with violence".
The survey showed that different types of alcohol caused people about the same feelings, despite the fact that they all belonged to completely different cultures and lived in opposite parts of the world.
But the authors have found that spirits do have an upside in that they are more likely to elicit feelings of energy and confidence than beer or wine.
A quarter of red and white wine drinkers feel sexy after a couple of glasses but the majority just feel exhausted, according to a new study which suggests the same drink can elicit various emotional responses.
You can read the study here.
About 30,000 people aged between 18 and 34 were asked about how drinking red or white wine, beer or spirits affected them, either drinking at home, or when out. They were opportunistic sample, so are not meant to be fully representative of people in each country. Women were significantly more likely than men to associate each feeling except for aggression with all types of alcohol.

We are well of aware of it, and we are trying to engineer the systems to prevent the content being delivered to wide audiences. RT has criticized the proposed move - whose timescale has not been publicized - as arbitrary and a form of censorship.
ASU assembles group to look revoking award from newsman Charlie Rose
Rhodes continued, " CBS News has reported on extraordinary revelations at other media companies this year and last". With Rose aboard, the network had found some success in the early hours of the day for the first time.
Bellis: Spirits were most strongly associated with feelings of being energised, confident, and sexy.
They were asked to choose from a range of emotional states, including more energised, relaxed, sexy or confident; or exhausted, ill, restless, more aggressive or tearful.
The only emotional response that spirits didn't score highest for was being relaxed; if you're looking to unwind, you're better off with red wine or beer, both of which scored much higher in this area (52% and 49% respectively). Over half (around 59%) of respondents associated these drinks with feelings of energy and confidence.
Bellis: There are many factors that may link different drinks to different emotional outcomes.
"Spirits are often consumed more quickly and have much higher concentrations of alcohol in them". This can result in a quicker stimulating effect as blood alcohol levels increase. For example, people who drink spirits regularly usually tend to elicit negative feelings when compared to other types of beverages.
But he added: 'It is worth also bearing in mind that there are compounds apart from alcohol in different drinks. 50 percent of people who drank beer too shared a similar experience and said that they felt positive while drinking beer.
This compared to about 2.5% of red or white wine drinkers and 7% of beer drinkers reporting feelings of aggression. Men also said that under the influence of alcohol feel more attractive to women. The emotional side of drinking is another important aspect to consider when trying to tackle alcohol related harms.

Pteridium aquilinum, Grebbeberg: an unusual image: the mine extends over three pinnulae

Spencer (1973a), basing himself on material from the UK, Germany, Slovenia and Montenegro, described a new species, Ph. pteridii, closely related to hilarella. Only the adult stage is known of pteridii. De Meijere writes that the rear spiraculum of hilarella has 15-18 papillae “but sometimes less”, while according to Spencer the rear spiraculum of hilarella has 12-15 papillae. It is not clear whether de Meijere described true variation of hilarella or had a mix of two species before him. As far as I know no adult material of pteridii has been found in the Benelux so far. Nevertheless the larvae photographed here look rather different, and it does not seem inconceivable that the “Bunderbos type” and the “Grebberg type” each belong to one of the two species.

Great Post, I chose to focus on the crowdfunding niche. It was a 2 billion dollar industry last year and is projected to be a 5 billion dollar industry this year. I recommend using Fiverr to use graphic designers for first time bloggers. I did use the logo designed for five dollars at the top of my site (bottom now) but stopped using it because it didn’t look good on mobile.
Military technology has played an important role in the fashion industry. The camouflage pattern in clothing was developed to help military personnel be less visible to enemy forces. A trend emerged in the 1960s and camouflage fabric was introduced to street wear. The camouflage fabric trend disappeared and resurfaced several times since then. Camouflage started to appear in high fashion by the 1990s. Designers such as Valentino, Dior and Dolce & Gabbana combined camouflage into their runway and ready-to-wear collections.
Wow, Ramsay, thank you again. This is massive! I always have my domain for 5 years and I just parked it. And because I have always pushed back on making it big, I never really paid for webhosting. It has always been with blogspot (I know!) Reading this makes me realize I had 5 years trying to find my voice as a blogger, 5 years of finding that voice and 5 years of, well, maybe wasting my time when I could’ve done a lot better. So thank you, this is like a wake up call.

(2013) Beyond the Catwalk: Fashion Public Relations and Social Media in Australia, Asia Pacific Public Relations Journal, vol. 14, No. 1 & 2, Murdoch University.
Furthermore, political revolution also made much impact on the fashion trend. For example, during the 1960s the economy had become wealthier, divorce rate was increasing and government approved the birth control pill. This revolution inspired younger generation to rebellion. In 1964, the leg-baring miniskirt has become a major fashion trend of the 1960s. Given that fashion designers began to experiment with the shapes of garment, loose sleeveless, micro-minis, flared skirts, and trumpet sleeves. In this case, mini-skirt trend became an icon of the 1960s.


I am not sure when I purchased this one, but it is part of my 800+ firearm collection. It was purchased new, never fired, handled a bit just to look at it, and see how it operated, and was then stored as part of my collection. I cannot locate the box, or the extra magazine that came with it. It is an Accu-Tec HC-380, Stainless Steel, Semi-Automatic pistol in .380 ACP cal. Great for concealed carry as it has a 2 1/2 in. barrel, I believe it to be a 13 shot magazine, wraparound grips, manual safety, with internal firing pin block and trigger disconnect for extra concealed carry safety. This gun does have an exposed hammer, and can be fired in double action, or single action mode. The weight of the gun is 26 ounces. This gun was manufactured from 1993 to 2003 then it was discontinued, and then started up again in 2007. I believe that the earlier gun had a factory 10 round magazine and the newer ones had a 13 round magazine. As far as I know, the magazines are interchangeable, but don’t hold me to that because I honestly have never tried it. The gun is in excellent shape, and would easily be rated at 98% or better. It was well stored in a temperature and humidity controlled vault, and was only handled for a few minutes when I bought it, and recently when I found it in my vault. This gun is all stainless steel, and can handle the hottest factory loads on the market!
Buyer can choose whatever shipping method that they choose. Buyer pays all shipping expense, and insurance. UPS is the only carrier left in the Detroit, Michigan area that will ship a firearm for an unlicensed seller, without any hassles. I have a very good local FFL that will ship to your FFL for a $60.00 flat fee, shipping and insurance included, with no hassles. This is half of the average price that UPS charges for overnight shipping. The final choice is up to you though!

The three stratum theory of cognitive abilities : test of the structure of intelligence across the life span
MetadataShow full item record
Recently a three stratum theory of intelligence that combines the major aspects of Spearman~s theory of general intelligence (g) (1927) and Horn and Cattell's theory of crystallized and fluid intelligence (Gf-Gc) (1991) has been proposed (Carroll, 1993). The purpose of this study was to test the three stratum theory using confirmatory factor analysis with the LISREL computer program. Developmental changes in the structure of intelligence were also investigated. Results provided support for the three stratum theory, suggesting the possibility of intermediate factors between the second and third stratum but no support for developmental changes in the organization of cognitive abilities.

Best place to retire: Marina District
Pros: In the heart of the action; amenities and water views
Real estate: High-rise luxury condos start at $600,000 for a two-bedroom. Two-bedrooms rent for about $2,200.The weather and the beach have long made San Diego a retirement haven. But in the past five years, the drab nine-to-five commercial zone that was downtown has evolved into an urban playground thanks to a new waterfront baseball stadium (Petco Park), the Museum of Contemporary Art's downtown debut, a revitalized theater scene and dozens of high-end restaurants.
At the center of it all is the Marina District. Once little more than a group of warehouses and parking lots to accommodate the convention center and the U.S. Navy, the Marina is now downtown's best-maintained district.
The city's main train and trolley stations are located nearby, so street noise and tourists - especially in summer - are a part of life. But Mike Fowler, 69, a semiretired defense consultant who lives in The Grande, twin 39-story towers on the water, says it's a small price to pay. "The little noise and expense in the Marina [is worth] all the activity of downtown."

Apple stock bumps up on dividend rumors
Apple stock saw a bump today on speculation the Cupertino tech giant might issue a fat dividend.
According to CNBC, the rumor has been popping up ever since the company said it wanted to find a way to reward shareholders with some of the cash Apple is sitting on.
Stock closed up $6 at $437.87 on Monday.
An analyst on Monday also said he expects the company to determine what it will do with its cash in the next month.

Thrillist Travel writer, Bruce Northam, visited Wichita and named it the coolest city in America. And he's from New York so that's saying a lot. However, he claims we don't realize how cool we are, yet.
Over the past few years, the ICT has become extremely attractive to millennials and younger crowds. With bars, art galleries, shops, awesome restaurants, and fun things to do downtown more and more people are wanting to move to or stay in Wichita and raise families here.
We stick out even more with the NCAA tournament coming to town this weekend. Especially after Mizzou and Seton Hall players recently saying that "there's nothing to do in Wichita." We guess what, guys? We're about to prove you wrong. There are so many pop-up bars showing up, big parties, and our famous Delano St Patrick's Day Parade planned for this major weekend.
While in town, Northam visited places like Central Standard Brewing, The Donut Whole, Aero Plains Brewing, Vortex Music Festival, Wichita Brewing Co & Pizzeria, Piatto Pizzeria, The Anchor, and so much more.
He gives rave reviews of all places and says that there's no other town in America who is as obsessed with their town flag as we are, which I agree with 100%.

South Wales Fire & Rescue Service have recently received a delivery of the replacement ‘Incident Command Unit’. The new technologically advanced vehicle is equipped with state of the art satellite communication systems that ensures crews and multi agencies have access to vital information quickly and coherently, to aid in their the decision making process in the attendance of incidents.
South Wales Fire & Rescue Service
The connection is reliable and speeds are as good as I have experienced in the VSat era and the technical support, on the rare occasion it is needed, is quick, concise and immediate. Excelerate are an innovative company, always looking to improve integration of equipment and provide fresh thinking for old communication issues and create new solutions from the ground up.
Master Yachts 3000gt
We are pleased to announce further investment in our emergency preparedness capability with the delivery of the Trust’s command and control vehicle. The new unit will enhance our current operation to ensure we are fully prepared to respond to significant incidents should anything untoward occur.
This state-of-the-art incident command unit will enable improved co-ordination and multi-agency co-operation, enhanced resilience, emergency preparedness and informed command in all environments, now and into the future
West Midlands Ambulance Service
Our experience of Excelerate throughout the project has been fantastic. They have developed complex technologies to be easy-to-use by fire fighters and operational commanders and nothing has been too difficult or too much trouble for them. They have been agile when putting into practice what we have asked, even re-configuring and re-developing some of our ‘push to talk’ requirements through their unique DDMI user interface where we have made requests one day which they have implemented overnight to be available and operational the next day. The feedback from other services around Australia when seeing the first of our new generation command vehicles at AFAC 2015 (in Adelaide) has been extremely positive
Fire & Rescue New South Wales
There has been support provided throughout the whole process, which has been fantastic.
Victoria Country Fire Authority
More importantly, we will be able to provide our incident command team and frontline firefighters much greater support to safely and effectively perform their roles.
Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service
Having had previous experience of satellite communications with another supplier, we were sceptical about what could be achieved…Excelerate Technology understood exactly what we wanted to achieve and could provide advanced solutions that were specifically tailored to the needs of the blue light services.
Thames Valley Police
The very presence of the Sherpa cameras deters would-be offenders and sends a signal out to all that we are watching and protecting the area. Its portability and fast deployment make Sherpa an essential part of the criminal detection and deterrent toolbox.
Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service
I would definitely recommend the camera to other prisons as it is not just an aid to monitor perimeter fence issues but can be deployed in many other areas inside and outside areas such as staff car parks and monitoring prisoner movement within the secure perimeter.
Our expectations of what communications on board our vehicles can deliver have already been exceeded, and as new technologies emerge we’re confident in integrating them in to an already future-proof system.
This is a really exciting addition to our fleet that will provide a greater level of control and coordination at incidents.
Cheshire Fire and Rescue
The level of support and advice they gave us was exceptional.
Deploying officers on mountain bikes with live streaming of images from the body-worn cameras meant we could see and hear what was going on wherever they were on the course.
Excelerate’s solution means we can provide our teams with enhanced communications across a diverse geographical area.
Welsh Ambulance Service
The static satellite forms part of our plan for managing incidents during periods when other ICT solutions may have failed. It will provide vital support for our tactical and operational commanders in the field.
Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service
Excelerate’s applications and solutions have given us the ability to remotely manage an incident and send information live to another location.
Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service

The Watershed Battle
an epic battle ensued between these two great giants upon Rannoch Moor: the watershed of Central Scotland….
By David White
Thousands of years ago, when all the great beasts of legend roamed the earth and much of Scotland was cloaked in untouched wilderness, there lived on Rannoch Moor, the former site of an ancient glacier, two giants known as Anier and Anear who, despite their similar names, had very different personalities.
Anier had at his core a desire to acquire as much as he could, he was gluttony incarnate and nothing captivated his attention more than the waters of Scotland. He could already through his might take any land he desired, however, controlling the swathes of Scottish freshwater may finally sate his desires. Unfortunately for Anier though, Anear also had a desire to control these waters. While Anear had none of Anier’s desire to acquire increasingly more possessions, he instead sought to use the waters as a force of destruction. Anear loved destruction, as many giants did, but he took it to extremes. He would level forests, flatten mountains and carry off castles. He now sought to do even more with the waters.
As may be evident from their personalities, and the fact they are giants, neither were susceptible to the concept of compromise and so, as is often the way, an epic battle ensued between these two great giants upon Rannoch Moor: the watershed of Central Scotland. The battle raged between them for 30 days and nights during which time they had rid the moors of most of the pine forest which once covered it. Their powerful blows would shake the ground and when one fell they would flatten an acre of trees. They were quick to bounce back, grab one of the mighty pines and use it as a club to fight back. On and on they fought until eventually they paused for a moment glancing one another up and down and seeing both of them were equally as injured. Each bore bruises all over their bodies and small nicks and cuts too plentiful to count. During this moment they realised that they were to evenly matched, neither would win this battle and so they came to a truce.
Their truce lead to something that until now had been an unknown concept to giants: a compromise. They agreed that they would split who possessed the rivers and lochs. Anier gained the rivers to the Atlantic by way of the Etive, Kinglass and Orchy. Anear on the other hand took the eastern flow which led through Loch Laiden, the River Gaur, Loch Rannoch, the Tummel and the Tay to the North Sea.
This story was based on a tale by A.D. Cunningham in Tales of Rannoch

I don't usually 'do' pink, but as I'm trying to get out of Christmas card mode I decided to have a bash at this weeks Truly Scrumptious challenge - a lovely sketch with the extra of using pink green and black. I'm also using Tilda for this weeks Flutter By Wednesday Challenge which is 'New' and butterflies/angels/fairies and the ABC challenge - L is for layering
I've used some new distress inks and glimmer mists to make the backing papers and the background of the main image. Tilda is coloured with inktense pencils and decoupaged to give her a bit more dimension. I 've used a little flourish stamp to edge the bp squares and added a stamped sentiment and some paper flowers.
Definitely not my usual style of card or colours but I've had a lot of messy fun making it.
Thanks for looking

Dear friends of the world-that-is-your-own-and-not-mine,
How odd it is to turn -32. The troubles of this world seem hardly surmountable at this age in life. Each three-hundred-and-sixty-five days, poor me, but I lose one year of my life. That’s how negatives work, you see. -33 become -32, and -32 become -31, and so on. I know, you are thinking “wouldn’t that mean she gains a year?” Ah! You are thinking in terms of your world. In mine, things work…a bit backwards from yours. I think.
The year of -33 was a happy year. Many struggles fell to my lot, of course, but they were not so bad as the year -37. Oh me! What a year that was! Falling in love, keeping secrets, becoming…younger. Well! Thank goodness it’s over and now it is -5 years hence. (Which, in essence, means 5 years hence – in your world. I think.)
But -32 is not such an odd number. Though, now I recollect, it is rather significant. In -16 years, I shall be -16! (Which would not make sense to you as that would mean I was 0, but you must learn to think in my terms.) -16 is that wonderful age, commonly called “half-way”. It means that I will be halfway through life, I think. (But, you see, the math does not add up if you think too hard about it. That is why I never think in terms of math. They are too confusing.)
Ah, but back to -32. What I really wanted to say was that I am so glad you have all accepted my party invitations and hope that you will bring many gifts suitable for one so young as I. And please do not forget to bring a fork – for the cake, you see. We are rather low on forks, owing, I think, to my sister’s habit of stealing them and hiding them in her room. No matter. If you will bring the forks and the presents, we will have a grand time!
Hopefully the year -32 will turn out just as grand as the year -33.
Your humble and considerate friend,

Cold and inviting, the Maine Coast is well worth a photography trip if you have the inclination.
Sidenote: Now back in Japan from the Christmas trip to Maine, I am just getting caught up on life again and planning some really big things for this daily travel photo blog. I admit I’ve been doing the minimum to keep this site going while I work like a fiend in the background preparing some long overdue changes. I also haven’t done much in terms of promotion lately so I understand the drop in daily visitors. Thanks for those who have stayed tuned, you won’t regret it.

Thanks to everyone for supporting our Good Black Friday again last year. It was another successful campaign where we gave you 20% off and also donated 20% to charity Re~cycle. Re~cycle is a wonderful charity which collects unwanted bikes here in the UK, fixes them up and sends them out to Africa where they genuinely help change someone's life.
Thanks to your support we donated enough money to send an impressive 18 bikes out to Africa where they go to help school children get to school, help doctors reach isolated communities, help mums and dads get to work and also helps boost employment by training mechanics to fix the bikes they send out.
If you have an unwanted bike that needs a new adventure take a look at their website for more information on donating your bike. http://www.re-cycle.org/


I'm fairly new to using MIDI and I have a question related to Sysex:
I am trying to program my BCR2000 to control my Kiwi3p. In the Kiwi manual, there are hex values such as 0a or 0b or 2e, etc. How do I convert these to standard MIDI values so that I can turn the configured encoder and properly use the CC?
For example: using an encoder, the coarse tune for one of the DCOs is 0 at the 12 o'clock position, -63 at the 7 o'clock (all the way to the left), and +63 at 4 o'clock (all the way to the right).

As I am writing this in early February Valentines cards are already appearing in the shops and people are thinking wistfully about their plans for an evening with the one they love. Unfortunately for some February 14th is a day of deep loneliness and despair as they are reminded that they do not have a special someone to share this day with.
It is very easy to give up hope in meeting someone to share your life with. To start with you may have tried all the things that people do to meet possible partners but as time has gone on you have simply given up. You begin to believe you are wasting your time and are supposed to be alone and unhappy.
The Bach remedy Gorse is at hand for these moments. When we feel that everything we have tried has failed and are prepared to give up Gorse brings light to the situation, restoring our faith in finding a way forward.

Albright said she told police in 2001 that Wagner, 50, told her another man stabbed the couple while Wagner was upstairs looking for money.
Under questioning by defense attorney Stephen Harris, Albright said she felt pressured by police when she made those statements.
Since then, Albright said, she's had time to reflect on the conversation and now thinks she misunderstood Wagner. She said she believes Wagner was recounting what others were saying about him, not telling him what had happened.
Albright's husband Wayne Albright testified that Wagner lived with him and his wife briefly and never had much money.
He said he remembered a conversation they had in 1994 in which Wagner said his landlord, Ted Monger Sr., was mad at him and wanted Wagner and another man to do something for him.
Monger was Daniel and Wilda Davis' son-in-law.
Wagner wouldn't say what Monger wanted him to do, Wayne Albright said.
Wayne Albright identified a hunting knife with a 5-inch blade as looking like the one he had seen in Wagner's apartment at 610 Chestnut St. prior to the slayings.
On Tuesday an assistant state medical examiner identified the same knife as being the one used to kill Daniel and Wilda Davis. The knife was found lying in the snow near the Davises home.
Wagner didn't have a car and he would take him to work and on errands, Wayne Albright said. He testified that on Feb. 14, 1994, he dropped Wagner off at the Big Lots store in the South End Shopping Center to buy gloves for work.
When defense attorney Susan Puhula showed him a pair of yellow leather gloves matching a bloody pair found on a street near the Davises home, Albright said Wagner wouldn't have used that type for work because it was cold outside.
Another friend of Wagner's testified she went drinking with Wagner and another woman at about 8:45 p.m. in downtown Hagerstown on the night the Davises died.
Robert Keedy testified that he struck up a friendship with Wagner after meeting him at a Hagerstown bar in 1997.
He didn't realize at first that Wagner was the man who had been tried on two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the Davises deaths, he said.
That 1996 trial, held in Garrett County because of pretrial publicity, ended in a hung jury. Wagner was re-indicted on the same charges in 2001. Prosecutors said the new indictments came as a result of new applications of DNA on evidence collected by Hagerstown City Police after the slayings.
Keedy said he was curious about the killings so he asked Wagner for some details.
Wagner told him that another man put pillowcases over the Davises heads, bound them with duct tape and stabbed them to death, Keedy testified. At the time of the killings, Wagner said he was upstairs ransacking the bedrooms, Keedy said.
Keedy, who is serving time on a marijuana distribution charge, said he was hoping for leniency in exchange for his testimony but nothing was promised.
Keedy said Assistant Washington County State's Attorney Joseph Michael told him Wednesday before he took the stand that he would write a letter on his behalf.
Also taking the stand was Michael A. Crouse, who shared a cell at the Washington County Detention Center with Wagner in 1997 when Wagner was arrested on a charge of driving a vehicle with stolen tags.
Crouse testified that Wagner told him that he was at the home on West Wilson Boulevard when the Davises were tied up and stabbed to death. He didn't say whether he went alone, Crouse said.
Puhula attacked Crouse's credibility, citing his list of criminal convictions and pending court cases.
Puhula also pointed out inconsistencies in Crouse's testimony.


Apple has officially revealed the launch date for its much-anticipated annual Apple Launch Event in 2023. It is set to dazzle on September 12, 2023. The star of the show? The eagerly awaited Apple iPhone 15 Series and rumors are also swirling about the possible introduction of the Apple Watch Series 9 during the same event.
This event is poised to be a tech enthusiast’s paradise, where the latest additions to the iPhone lineup will be unveiled. The iPhone 15 Series is expected to comprise four enticing models: iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Each of these models would offer distinct features and capabilities, designed to cater to a diverse range of user preferences.
Niels, known as @appledsign on Instagram, is an Apple enthusiast who takes us on a deep dive into the fascinating world of Apple’s design innovations. With a sharp eye for detail, Niels delves into the specifications of Apple’s products, providing insights that go beyond the surface.
One of his noteworthy observations revolves around the inclusion of a USB-C cable point in the iPhone 15 Series. He emphasizes how this seemingly minor yet significant change can greatly enhance convenience and versatility. It serves as a testament to Apple’s dedication to remaining at the forefront of technology and adapting to the ever-evolving needs of its users.
So, why should you consider upgrading to the iPhone 15 Series, according to Niels? Well, he has reels that emerge as the top choice for an upgrade for several compelling reasons. Above all, the battery power in these models surpasses that of any previous iPhone models significantly. He meticulously delves into the statistics and real-world performance, illustrating how this Series can keep you connected and powered up throughout the day without missing a beat.
Furthermore, Niels sheds light on the addition of touch-sensitive buttons for volume and the silent/general slot, a feature that elevates the overall user experience. These buttons introduce a new level of interactivity, streamlining tasks and making them more reflexive. Additionally, the iPhone 15 Series boasts a sleek and refined display frame that enhances its visual appeal.
As of now, Apple has not disclosed the official pricing details for this Series. However, industry insiders suggest that the basic models, iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, will likely maintain a similar price range as their predecessors, the iPhone 14 and 14 Plus. On the other hand, the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max may come with a higher price tag compared to the previous generation’s Pro models.
His meticulous attention to detail and comprehensive analysis transform his Instagram account into an invaluable resource for anyone keen on staying up-to-date on the latest Apple innovations. His insights into the USB-C cable point, improved battery power, touch-sensitive buttons, and display frame in the iPhone 15 Series present a compelling case for why this series is the ultimate choice for those seeking a worthwhile upgrade in the realm of smartphones.
In conclusion, the Apple iPhone 15 Series is creating quite a buzz in the tech world, and excitement is building as we approach the event on September 12, 2023. Whether you’re a long-time Apple enthusiast or simply curious about the latest advancements in smartphone technology, this event is sure to be a must-watch. Stay tuned for more updates and be prepared to witness the future of Apple’s iconic iPhone lineup!

gher or Colonel Simpson or the brave men of their respective regiments on account of this ill-turn of fortune, but, on the contrary, they are entitled to the credit of having held their ground until it was tenable no longer.
I have only further to add that throughout this day the Reserves supported the character they had gained in the battle of Mechanicsville on the afternoon of the 26th and the morning of this day.
My thanks are due to Brigadier General J. F. Reynolds, who, I regret to report, was captured, together with his assistant adjutant-general, Charles Kingsbury, by the enemy on the morning of the 28th, the general finding on the previous evening that the enemy was already in his rear, and having retired to the woods, where he passed the night. Generals Meade and Seymour, as usual, led the brigades with the skill and effect to be expected of officers of their distinction. To the officers of my personal staff, particularly to Captain H. J. Biddle, assistant adjutant-general, and to Major Alfred E. Lewis, First Pennsylvania Artillery, acting aide-de-camp, my thanks are due for efficient services.
The loss of my division to-day heavy, and is embraced in the total loss at the foot of this report.*
Battle of New Market Cross-Roads+ on the 30th June, 1862.
On Friday evening, June 27, after the battle of Gaines' Mill, my division crossed the Chickahominy to Trent's Hill, where it remained till 8 p.m. on the 28th, when I was ordered to move in the direction of White Oak Creek, and take with me Hunt's reserve artillery, consisting of thirteen batteries. Owing to unavoidable detention on the route my division was all night on the march, and did not reach White Oak Creek till near noon on the 29th. Having crossed the creek, I was ordered by the general-in-chief to put my division in position to repel any attack of the enemy from the direction of Richmond. This I did, and remained in position till 5 o'clock p.m., when the march was resumed, and continued by my command till I reached the Quaker-road crossing of the New Market road, where I arrived at midnight and took up a position on the cross-road, sending out a regiment and a battery in front and strong picket in advance of them. Here I remained in readiness to repel any advance of the enemy till about daylight, when I was ordered to retire. This I did, left in front, and reached the point where the Turkey Bridge road turns off from the New Market road at about 7 a.m. on the 30th. I here turned into Turkey Bridge road, and was ordered to halt on this ground till the whole of our immense train, which had safely crossed White Oak Creek, had passed on toward James River, and to repel any attack that the enemy might make on it.
At 9 o'clock had commenced the heavy cannonade caused by the enemy attempting to force the passage of the creek in order to fall upon the train, and it continued with little interruption till noon. It was a determined artillery duel, but as I did not apprehend their ability to effect a passage, I was not long in coming to the conclusion that any attack on myself must come from the direction of Richmond on my right flank. I had thrown out a cavalry picket in that direction, and afterward discovering indications of an advance of the enemy, moved out a regiment in the same direction on picket duty.
I now examined the character of the country around me, and made my disposition of the troops facing to the right flank-Meade's brigade

How To Paint In Oil Realistic Faces
One sunny day I was strolling along the coast of Swinoujscie and spotted a street artist painting beautiful oil portraits on paper. Before he started telling me how to paint realistic faces in oil I admired his work in silence for a couple of minutes. He had a mini display of his artwork and all of it looked very realistic. From a distance it seemed almost as if these were photographs rather than paintings. I waited a bit and took out my camera just when he was about start to create this portrait of a baby. He had an outline ready and started to fill in all the details and shades. I was very surprised when I saw him using a large paint brush, the type I would use for wall painting, to smudge the sharp edges and to blend in some of the details with the background.
How To Paint Faces In Oil - Street Technique
I talked to the man about his how to paint in oil technique and he told me it takes him about an hour to paint a realistic portrait like this. He went on saying that this is a street technique of portrait creation and that he would be able to make much more lifelike and accurate portrait but unfortunately it would not bring him any money. The basics of painting realistic faces in oil technique are as follows. You do not paint or focus on one face feature alone rather paint a little bit of everything and then smudge it with a larger brush creating shades and tones around the painted details and around the face. He told me that for a painting to look very realistic you would have to repeat the process many times and the more times you do it the better the painting will look.
The hourly or so process he uses, as he explained, was enough to create a pretty lifelike art and sufficient time to money ratio so in the end everybody is happy- the customer as well as the artist. I decided to stick around for the whole process and turned my camera on as soon as the brush hit the paper. The video I've made created a kind of how to paint in oil tutorial - enjoy!

How to get started with oil painting – tools and brushes
Are you too a complete newbie to artwork? Or have you got some experience of painting along with other mediums? Before you start to learn how to paint in oil you need to consider several key points. First you’ll need some materials. The art shops have a big choice of materials to select from which is quite daunting if you do not fully realize what you’re searching for.
Let’s consider paint to begin with. In principal there are two main kinds of paint- so called students’ and artists’. The students’ ones in many cases are worse than artists because they avoid using the expensive pigments and therefore are manufactured in larger quantities. The color strength may be slightly weaker however, they are adequate if you’re getting started. They are also often utilized by pro artists as a base prior to utilizing artists’ colours for that top layer. To begin with you’ll need have only a fundamental choice of 10 or 12 tubes of paint. It is possible to purchase the starter boxes that have many of the colours which you may need.
As well as the paint you will have to acquire some thinners and a bottle of painting medium. There are plenty of options regarding painting medium but to begin with you should make a decision to use linseed oil so that as you decide to go on and experiment more try various kinds of medium and just how they modify the paint and help or hinder together with your type of painting.
To start learning how to paint with oils you’ll need some brushes. These are also made of a wide variety of types and sizes. This could rely on what type of painting you are willing to do in regards to what brushes you’ll need. For more in depth realistic works you might want to consider smaller brushes but when you will paint sizeable abstract paintings go for bigger softer fluffy brushes. I might be contentious in advising this however when you are simply getting started, particularly if you are simply likely to probe different styles I’d advise to go for cheap brushes to find out what type of size and shape you’d rather use. The primary issues with cheaper brushes for me are that firstly, a few of the hairs will come out when you are using it and second of all, the hair may not keep their size & shape too. After you found your style and which tools are most compatible with that you could then purchase the more costly ones. Being an abstract painter, I additionally like the more supple and cheaper brushes that mix the paint finely and do not leave a lot of brush strokes. I’ll make use of the brush firstly on the test painting which will generally eliminate the loose hair so virtually none can fall off when I’m painting in oil for real.


One of the union's most conservative states was set to legalize marijuana for medical use Thursday, with GOP lawmakers switching sides to pass a bill that had earlier passed the state Senate. The Alabama House of Representatives voted 68-34 in the law's favor, which mandates a doctor's prescription for purchases. The bill now heads to Gov. Kay Ivey's desk; if she signs, Alabama becomes the 37th state in the union to legalize the drug.
A medical marijuana bill in 2013 won the Shroud Award for the "deadest bill" in the House.
"They laughed at me," former Democratic state Rep. Patricia Todd, the sponsor of the 2013 bill said Thursday of the reaction she got from some Republicans at the time.


Remember all those times you got a great shot of you and your friends, prepped to upload with the hashtag #SquadGoals … then had to crop some people out because Instagram only allows square uploads? Those days are gone.
Square format has been and always will be part of who we are. That said, the visual story you’re trying to tell should always come first, and we want to make it simple and fun for you to share moments just the way you want to.
It turns out that nearly one in five photos or videos people post aren’t in the square format, and we know that it hasn’t been easy to share this type of content on Instagram: friends get cut out of group shots, the subject of your video feels cramped and you can’t capture the Golden Gate Bridge from end to end.
Now, you won’t need to crop people out of your photos or have a border to make sure the full picture gets in. When uploading a photo to Instagram that doesn’t fit the box, tap the format icon to adjust the orientation to portrait or landscape. Within your profile grid, images will still be squared.
This feature will be in the most updated version of the Instagram app on iOS and Android.

But there is a lot that International Olympic Committee members won't see as they visit Los Angeles this week in the run-up to a September decision on whether LA or Paris will get the 2024 Games.
Casey Wasserman, chairman of the LA2024 campaign, hosted 70 members of the International Olympic Committee at his home on Wednesday night (10May17) in an effort to convince them Los Angeles is the ideal choice to take on the future sporting event. However, the strength of the two bids is why the International Olympic Committee is now considering a joint bid for the first time, awarding 2024 to one city - probably Paris - and 2028 to the other.
Paris and Los Angeles in the United States are the two remaining candidate cities for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
EUROPEAN ATHLETICS President Svein Arne Hansen has endorsed the Paris 2024 bid for the Olympic Games.
Los Angeles 2024 bid leaders rebuffed suggestions they were ready to wait until 2028 to host the Olympics as a team of International Olympic Committee delegates toured proposed venues.
The IOC delegation visit comes just four months ahead of a September 13 vote in Lima that will decide the race. Paris 2024 shares his vision of an ambitious country open to the world that shares Olympic values.
"There are things that bring us together and this is one of them", the mayor said.
Garcetti has said a "transport revolution" was underway in a city as well-known for its gridlock as the sun and surf.
Describing Los Angeles as "an incredible Olympic city", the IOC commission wrapped up its four days in Southern California on Friday with commission chairman Patrick Baumann acknowledging "in L.A. there is no major risk that we can highlight".
When former President Barack Obama traveled to Copenhagen in October 2009 to speak in favor of Chicago's bid for the 2016 Games, IOC members were miffed by the high level of security they had to pass to attend the meeting, which included bomb-sniffing dogs, Olympic sources told Reuters this week.
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo, meanwhile, has also been named chair of a Solideo Committee responsible for delivering all facilities and venues necessary to host the Olympics and Paralympics.
"A good team reflects good leadership and that is certainly the case with the dynamic duo that is at the top of Los Angeles 2024", Baumann said.
Among the 44 members added on Friday to the commission, whose aim is to ensure athletes are involved in all aspects of the city's plans and bid for the Games, were Olympic champions Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Ashton Eaton and Nastia Liukin. "We saw that the 1984 Games, whether it was venues or people, impacted their lives". The IOC Evaluation Commission will head to rival Paris next week.
The last time Los Angeles hosted, in 1984, the home shoal dominated in the pool, with 21 gold atop 34 medals, Canada, West Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Great Britain and France following on the table.
