Ford has announced that the all-electric SuperVan 4 will participate in the 101st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb (PPIHC) in 2023. The legendary hill climb race, which has been held for over 100 years, takes place near Colorado Springs, Colorado. Various Ford vehicles have participated in the race for several decades, and this year, the company aims to break records with the SuperVan 4.
Romain Dumas, a PPIHC record holder in 2018 with the VW ID.R, will be at the helm of the SuperVan 4. Dumas is a three-time Le Mans winner and has several EV-powered lap records. He has previously participated in the PPIHC seven times, starting his time on the mountain back in 2012.
The Ford SuperVan 4 will be powered by an all-wheel drive system that features a 50kWh ultra high-performance cell battery, making it one of the most powerful electric powertrains in the world. The van's lightweight carbon composite body, FIA specification roll cage, and adjustable regenerative braking make it an excellent hill climb-capable machine. The vehicle is part of a five-year partnership between Ford Performance and EV and R&D specialists STARD.
In its stint at the Goodwood hill climb last year, the SuperVan silently flaunted its nearly 2,000 horsepower. According to Mark Rushbrook, global director of Ford Performance Motorsports, the PPIHC is the perfect place to take SuperVan 4.
"Both have long, storied histories that ignite the imagination of racing fans all over the world. Both have evolved over time, and it's time to take our electric vehicle technology and put it to the test on the mountain against some of the most impressive performance vehicles in the world," Rushbrook said.
Melissa Eickhoff, PPIHC Executive Director, expressed excitement about Dumas' participation in this year's race. She noted that he consistently arrives in unique builds that are serious contenders and fun to watch, and the Ford Performance SuperVan 4 is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is set to take place on June 25, 2023. Ford Performance will reveal more details about this year's effort as the motorsport event approaches.

Gaunt Brothers Racing driver Daniel Suarez was made available to media at Auto Club Speedway:
DANIEL SUAREZ, No. 96 Toyota Certified Used Vehicles Toyota Camry, Gaunt Brothers Racing
What do you need to have happen this week after how the race in Las Vegas played out?
“Nothing actually. Las Vegas was actually a very good race for me. A lot of people don’t know this, but I left Las Vegas very happy. The way the team progressed and the way everything went out after that problem in the beginning of the race, I was actually very pleased with the way everything worked out. We have a lot of work to do. We are still building the team, still hiring some people and figuring out a way to get cars and stuff like that. We have to keep working. Right now, I feel like this weekend is going to be tough. I feel like this weekend, having the fact that this race track really needs a lot of downforce and a lot of grip because the race track doesn’t have it, you need to work a lot in the car and unfortunately we just don’t have that. I feel like this is one of those places that I have to work extra hard to make up for everything the car isn’t giving me.”
Would you have had a solid run at Las Vegas if not for what happened at the beginning of the race?
“I think we could have finished somewhere inside the top-22 or top-20. The car was fast enough to do that. We never had track position and we were never contending for that. The lap times and everything were pretty sporty. I feel good about that. We have a lot of work to do. We have to keep working with the group of engineers that we have and the rest of the engineers that we’re missing to be better.”
Is it difficult to be patient?
“It is. Especially for me. I’m not a very patient person. That’s the way it is sometimes. You have to work through various circumstances. I feel very proud to have great people around me. Marty Gaunt (team owner), Toyota and their support behind us and CommScope and Coca-Cola, they’ve been with me for a long time. I feel like I have great people and great companies behind this program. Have to be patient and keep building and keep growing.”
How many people do you have at GBR?
“That’s a good question. It’s still growing every week. Every time I go to the shop or to the garage, I see one newer guy or two more new guys. We are still building the team. I don’t really know the number, maybe 30 people. Still working and trying to build this.”

Click here for Sept. 22, 2014, USDA crop progress and condition ratings.
U.S. corn's rating was unchanged from a week ago at 74% good to excellent and 4% of the crop was harvested. The harvest matched last year's pace but trailed the 9% five-year average, USDA said in its latest weekly crop ratings released on Monday.
Soybeans were unchanged at 72% good to excellent, while crop development was slightly behind with 24% dropping leaves, unchanged from last year, but behind the 32% average.
In Iowa, the top corn and soybean producer, no corn harvest was reported and the crop was 19% mature versus the 44% average, while 13% of the soybeans were dropping leaves versus the 26% average. Heavy rain there slowed fieldwork .
"Frost was reported across much of the state but caused little damage," Iowa's state report said.
USDA did not post national harvest readings for soybeans, but some harvest was underway with the Mississippi state report showing 29% cut versus the 31% average and Arkansas at 14% cut compared with the 13% average.
Winter wheat 12% planted; Spring wheat 74% harvested
Winter wheat planting advanced to 12% as of Sunday, slightly ahead of the 11% average. Kansas, the largest wheat producer, was 5% planted, which matched the average pace.
Spring wheat harvest advanced to 74% to trail the 86% five-year average. USDA did not provide national condition ratings this week for spring wheat.
In North Dakota, the largest producer, harvest was 65% done versus 86% a year ago and the 84% average, and the crop was rated 15% excellent, 59% good, 20% fair, 5% poor, and 1% very poor.
North Dakota also reported widespread freezing temperatures that affected late-season crop development
The Kansas state report said cold weather produced instances of light frost in the north central and northwest regions. Rain amounts of one-half to 2 inches fell in the north half of the state. Soil moisture improved statewide with topsoil moisture rated 68% adequate to surplus, 24% short and 8% very short, from the previous week's 66%, 25%, and 9%.
Cotton: 6% harvested, 51% had bolls open
The cotton harvest at 6% was ahead of last year's pace but slightly behind the 7% five-year average. Bolls were open on 51% of the crop, compared with 34% a year ago and the 49% average. The crop remained at 49% good to excellent.
Oats were 92% harvested, compared with 99% average. Sorghum was 28% harvested and 45% mature, versus the respective averages of 27% and 37%. It was 57% good to excellent versus 54% a year ago.
Rice was 36% harvested compared with the 45% average and was again rated 74% good to excellent, up from 73% a year ago.

the good news Food Runners, a service that picks up excess food from catered events and restaurants to share with the hungry
Mary Risley, head of San Francisco's esteemed Tante Marie's Cooking School, was frustrated at seeing perfectly good food tossed into the trash. In 1987, she founded Food Runners, which picks up surplus food for use by shelters. Today, the agency delivers 10 tons of food from some 200 donors, including high-end caterers such as McCall's and Paula LeDuc, to more than 450 local food programs. The team picked up some 200 pounds of food from San Francisco's Bay to Breakers footrace on Sunday. They are prepping to pick up surplus from the legendary Black and White Ball on Saturday, where they expect to rescue about 1,000 pounds of food, a Food Runners spokesman predicts.
the good news Patron Spirits' Music in Motion Tour
Moved by the continuing struggle of New Orleans to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina, which hit in 2005, New York-based Patron Spirits Co. designed a program in 2008 to raise money and generate awareness of the work still to be done. The company used the Patron Tequila Express—a refurbished 1927 railcar that has transported luminaries including Franklin D. Roosevelt and Clark Gable—for a 10-city tour. As the fifth anniversary of Katrina comes this fall, Patron is taking the railcar out again, for the Patron Epicurean Express. Over the summer, the team will raise funds in various cities by selling a limited number of seats for intimate cocktail parties and dinners aboard the train, which will be hosted by renowned chefs. "Patron was founded by John Paul DeJoria," explains Patron spokesman Hunter Heres, "a man who lives by the mantra 'success unshared is failure.' So we're constantly aware of the importance of having a close relationship with the community."
the good news Microsoft's Employee Giving campaign
Due in part to the fact that both parents of Microsoft founder Bill Gates were staunch supporters of the United Way, the huge software company makes a huge commitment to the agency, notes Microsoft events manager Janna Harala. During the month-long Employee Giving Campaign, held each fall, the Microsoft campuses feature a themed day with booths, food and beverage, games and activities for employees. In 2009, the combined employee donations and company match hit nearly $88 million. The program makes Microsoft "The No. 1 per capital corporate giving program among major U.S. corporations," Harala says.
the good news Shobiz adopts the S.P.J. Sadhana School, a training center for children and young adults with special needs
Shobiz, an event agency based in Mumbai, has for the last four years supported the Sadhana School, both with donations and event support. In 2007 and 2008, for example, the Shobiz team oversaw production of the school's concert, where students showcase their dancing, singing and handicrafts. Last year, Shobiz created a press conference to boost fundraising, and in March, the team aided the school's graduation ceremony, at which India's past president was a guest. Says Shobiz CEO Sameer Tobaccowala, "Shobiz believes in maintaining the earth's cycle of goodwill and humanity, and giving this world back its most deserved joy and peace in our own small ways."
the good news The Good News paper, a weekly e-newsletter filled with nothing but good news, such as uplifting human interest stories and humor
Andrea Michaels, founder of Sherman Oaks, Calif.-based Extraordinary Events, launched the newsletter last January after watching a TV news program with "nothing but bad news." The subscriber list has grown "dramatically," she notes, adding, "At every trade show I attend—and I attend many—I am stopped by friends and strangers thanking me for this." Is it hard to find items to cover every week? No, Michaels says: "We have more material than we could ever publish. Good news is all around us if you look for it."

Ghana is in Group B alongside Egypt, Cape Verde and Mozambique for AFCON 2023.


The Plant: Sustainable Food Production in a Concrete Jungle
June 23, 2016
by J.R. Plate
Photography by Elaine Melko
The back of the Yards neighborhood located on Chicago’s south side is an area of the city that run deep with history. This neighborhood was the epicenter of the meat packing industry that supplied the United States with its beef, pork and poultry from the late 19th century until the 1970s. The award winning novel, The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair tells the somewhat dramatized story of the industry and some of the unsavory experiences workers encountered. Although the area used to be a focus for novelists, activists and social scientists throughout the 20th century it now stands as a mere shell of its former self. Abandoned buildings, poverty and crime are the status quo for the Back of the Yards today. However, John Edel, the director of a project called The Plant, is looking to revitalize not only the local economy and community in this neighborhood, but to also create what could become the most unique food production and sustainability business incubator in the country.

Upon first reading about The Plant I figured John Edel would be someone with a larger than life personality as it only seemed appropriate for this size project. Interestingly, his tall wiry frame, cool demeanor and modest aura did not fit this preconceived notion. However, his passion for promoting sustainability and this project are what bring him to life. John got his start in 2002 when he purchased a rundown building on Chicago’s southwest side and started Bubbly Dynamics LLC. Bubbly Dynamics has since been renamed the Chicago Sustainable Manufacturing Center, “an incubator for emerging enterprise appropriate to a new industrial city,” as the website reads. This concept was created to support boutique manufacturing that was experiencing resurgence in Chicago. The Plant was initially conceptualized to become a second phase of Bubbly Dynamics. However, because the space had always been a food processing building and has a “food grade” infrastructure, John felt that maintaining the building’s food focus was the best option.

Driving up to the property that is The Plant, the 93,000-square foot building, which occupies roughly twothirds of the three-acre parcel, is the main attraction.
Looking up at the faded paint sign, which reads “Peer Foods,” is an instant reminder of the history that lies within this building. Originally, the building was a meat packing facility that was built in 1925 by the Buehler Brothers, who were second-generation butchers from Germany. Their father, Christian Buehler Sr., immigrated to Philadelphia in 1849 and eventually settled in Chicago to utilize his meat cutting skills in the bourgeoning industry. The Plant property was established to process meat for the Buehler Brothers’ meat markets throughout Chicago. In 1944 the plant changed names from Buehler Brothers to Peer Foods Products. Throughout Peer Foods’ history, it has offered a variety of products in addition to their famous smoked ham, bacon and pastrami.
Entering The Plant, the smoky aroma is an instant reminder of the building’s history. The scent hits the back of your nose and pallet in the same way barbecue does when you enter a restaurant or walk through a neighborhood when people are grilling in the summertime. However, the decades of smoking meats conjures up different images than the aforementioned examples due to the cavernous space that is primarily comprised of concrete and steel. The industrial nature of the meat processing business is evident due to remaining signs that read “Meat Wash,” “Carelessness is Dangerous” and “Brine.” The industrial and sterile nature of the building is quickly changing thanks to the efforts of John and the countless hours being dedicated by volunteers. John’s vision for The Plant has the potential to change the way we look at farming, food production, waste stream management as well as the disconnect our country has with how and where our food comes from. “The goal is that nothing leaves The Plant but food,” explains John during our interview.
On the surface this seems straightforward; on the contrary, what goes into growing, producing and delivery of our food is quite astonishing. There are many components and resources that go into food production for even the simplest of items. Some of these components and resources are water, fertilizer, fuels such as diesel, and warehousing.
Photo by Elaine Melko
Take a tomato for example. When we go to our grocery store we see a nice ripe tomato and we buy it. However, to get that tomato to our store takes an amazing amount of energy and resources.
First, the tomato is probably grown in a place such as California. The farm where this tomato is produced inevitably uses some sort of chemical fertilizer. Non-organic fertilizers use a large amount of petroleum-based chemicals for their production. Additionally, the fertilizer must get to the farm where it is needed, thus resources are expended in transportation. Second, we tend to grow items like tomatoes in semi-arid locales such as California for their abundance of sunshine. Unfortunately, this abundance of sunshine means an absence of water. To properly water these crops, large irrigation systems must be employed. The vast majority of irrigation systems use diesel engines to pump the necessary quantities of water over these large expanses of land. This results in the obvious use of fossil fuels (diesel) as well as water. Next, once the tomatoes are harvested they are generally shipped prior to ripening, as they would end up rotting in transit from California before reaching a store. Therefore, they end up in a warehouse specifically used for grocery stores where produce is stored until it’s ripened to the point of delivery to a store. These warehouses also require a tremendous amount of resources to be built as well as operated and maintained. The final step the tomato takes to our store is on a truck, which uses more fuel along with other resources for operation.
Photo by Elaine Melko
This is a long and exhausting list of steps for us to enjoy something as simple as a ripe tomato. The above model does not take into account other possible negative environmental impacts of farming. Some of these may include contamination of nearby fresh water supplies due to the use of chemical fertilizers or poor air quality from the shipping. Additionally, this example is for fresh produce, not for a processed food such as a baked, cooked or packed goods. These items add another dimension to the waste stream and resource demand needed for us to access food. John’s vision for The Plant looks to eliminate virtually all of these waste streams along with unnecessary resource use. The Plant will mitigate the use of these resources by implementing a “Net Zero Energy Strategy.”
The Plant will effectively use the waste from one business’s processes and utilize it for either energy production across the building or for direct production for another food product. John has chosen a variety of food businesses based on the resources they need for production in relationship to the waste they produce. Ultimately, one business’s “trash” or waste can be another business’s’ “treasure” or resources needed for production. A perfect example of this on a small scale is the aquaponics system that has been implemented by 312 Aquaponics. Aquaponics is a sustainable food growing system that utilizes aquaculture (the raising of aquatic animals such as fish) with hydroponics (growing plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. Simply put, the dirty water from the fish tanks is circulated in a closed loop system to the various vegetable and herbs that are being grown. The plants use the fish “waste” which is nutrient rich as fertilizer and then return the dirty water back to the fish tanks clean and free of pollutants. This one example ties into a much more complex system throughout the building. One of the other key components of the The Plant’s net zero system is the implementation of an anaerobic digester.
An anaerobic digester takes organic waste such as food scraps or manure and recovers one or more byproducts such as methane and uses it as fuel. Brewing beer is a fairly energy intensive process and ultimately creates a large waste stream. Thus, New Chicago Brewing has been chosen as one of the businesses for The Plant. Some of their waste stream, including hops, barley and malt, that is left over from the brewing process. All of this waste can be fed into the anaerobic digester and as it biodegrades, it will produce two main byproducts, carbon dioxide and methane.
The carbon dioxide can be captured and used as a nutrient for the indoor vertical farms and the methane can be burned as fuel to create heat. This heat will be utilized for temperature control in greenhouses and general heating of the building. Additionally, the heat from the digester can also be used to cool the building using a process called absorption chilling.
Along with the net zero model for food production, The Plant is also repurposing the vast majority of all the reclaimed materials the building has yielded during its deconstruction phase. Items such as stainless steel, brick, tile, pipes, wiring for electrical along with other materials will all be reused during the construction phase. Any items that cannot be used will be taken to a local recycling center for processing and reuse. At the end of the day, The Plant will throw away a paltry two Dumpsters’ worth of non-usable material. The Plant will also be taking a variety of steps to insure the building is as energy efficient as possible such as installing dozens of windows with a high R value. These windows will be strategically placed throughout the building to utilize the sun’s light for growing and heating purposes.
The Plant will also utilize outdoor space for food production. Final plans for the outdoor space are still being determined but there are talks to include an orchard, a community garden and a growing laboratory for educational and experimentation purposes. Some of the other food-based businesses slated to be a part of The Plant include a bakery, an ice cream company, a mushroom farm, a kombucha tea maker and a community kitchen. The community kitchen will be available for local entrepreneurial residents to use as a resource to kick start their own food business. In total, The Plant will create approximately 145 full time jobs once fully operational.
John Edel and The Plant are poised to create a food production model that will not only help to revive a struggling community in Chicago, but also demonstrate that there are far more sustainable ways to produce and deliver food. One can only hope that the success of this endeavor will serve as a model for other cities around the country that are embracing sustainability. Although this project seems like a “nice” challenge to undertake, John put it best during our interview: “We don’t have any other choice if we hope to be able to feed the growing population of the world. If we don’t start embracing a new way of food growing and production we are going to be in big trouble.”

Law & Crime reports:
Some months after Attorney General Merrick Garland’s Department of Justice signaled it would back former President Donald Trump in a lawsuit filed by E. Jean Carroll, a federal judge refused on Wednesday to let that development prevent the litigation from proceeding in his courtroom.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan denied Trump’s request for a stay of all proceedings, without comment.
Carroll claims that the former president defamed her by falsely denying that he raped her in the dressing room of the department store Bergdorf Goodman in the 1990s, but for roughly a year, proceedings have revolved less around her allegations than whether the case caption should even be Carroll v. Trump.

Aides come at different times of the day, depending on the patients needs. The aide may have to come to the home to prepare meals, perform physical therapy or check in on the patient. Aides may be required to care for patients who suffer from physical disabilities, cancer, wounds, dementia or Alzheimer's disease, or those who have just gotten out of surgery. In-home care allows patients to stay in the comfort of their home while receiving the care they need.

This year, the Internal Security Agency (ABW) dismantled a spy network consisting of 16 members. They are amateurs managed by a Russian GRU officer. Sabotage, arson and assassinations were planned.
The Washington Post reported on the case of the Russian spy network in an article published on August 18. The investigation of American reporters and the information provided to them by the Internal Security Agency show that a group of amateur saboteurs recruited by a Moscow GRU officer operated in the country.
According to the information provided by the ABW, the network it worked out consisted of 16 people. All were civilians recruited via social media. Recruitment was to be carried out through online advertisements published on channels on the Telegram platform. The offers were to include performing simple odd jobs – including putting up posters.
Interested persons later learned that the materials were pro-Russian and anti-Ukrainian. The Washington Post drew attention to the similarity of this recruitment strategy to the methods used by terrorist organizations, the so-called Islamic State.
Reporters from "The Washington Post" point out that among the members of the spy network, there were three Belarusians, a Russian and 12 Ukrainians. According to American reporters, the involvement of refugees from Ukraine in espionage tasks was supposed to be an intended action of the GRU, which was intended to arouse anti-Ukrainian sentiments in Poland.
In turn, those involved were to be motivated primarily by financial considerations, and not by ideological commitment. Among the members of the network were mostly young people in their twenties. The youngest of them was 16 years old.
The findings of the Internal Security Agency indicate that the main purpose of the spy network's activities was to disrupt support for Ukraine, primarily arms transports. Most of the equipment transferred to Ukraine by Western countries is delivered by rail from Poland. Therefore, the main purpose of the observations became tracks and train routes, where hidden cameras transmitting in real time were located. Members of the spy network were also to observe the port in Gdynia and the airport in Rzeszow.
In addition to espionage activities, the network organized by the GRU also planned to carry out sabotage, arson, and assassinations. It was information about the intention to derail the train carrying weapons to Ukraine that forced the ABW to detain members of the group.
The original plans were to monitor its activities and obtain more information about the group's principals. An anonymous ABW investigator, who spoke to The Washington Post, emphasized that other Russian spy networks are still active in Poland.

August 25th was a big day for Russian weapon-manufacturing, and especially internal orders, as several significant deals were announced during the Army-2020 forum.
The Russian Ministry of Defense and Rostec State Corporation signed a number of agreements totaling more than 300 billion rubles ($4 billion).
The agreements relate to the supply of new equipment and ammunition, the modernization of the existing fleet of military equipment, as well as new promising developments for the Russian armed forces.
Agreements with the Ministry of Defense were signed by the United Aircraft Corporation, Russian Helicopters, Uralvagonzavod and NPO Splav of the Tekhmash holding.
“Today, during Army 2020, we signed contracts for the supply of new aircraft, helicopters, armored vehicles for various purposes, as well as for the repair and modernization of combat vehicles, and for conducting advanced research for the Russian army. The implementation of the agreements will allow equipping the troops with advanced weapons, improving the tactical and technical characteristics of products already in service, creating the necessary scientific and technical groundwork for promising developments,” said Sergei Chemezov, General Director of Rostec State Corporation.
Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Alexei Krivoruchko and the head of the UAC Yuri Slyusar signed an agreement for the supply of Su-34 bombers, Su-35 and Su-30SM2 fighters for the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS), Su-30SM2 fighters for the Navy (Navy), Yak-130 combat training aircraft and Il-76MD-90A heavy military transport aircraft.
Splav will supply the armed forces with Tornado-S multiple launch rocket systems and 122-mm 9M22U rockets for the Grad MLRS.
Uralvagonzavod will repair and modernize the T-80BV battle tanks that are in service.
This will significantly improve the tactical and technical characteristics of the vehicle and bring it to the level of the T-80BVM battle tank.
A contract was also signed for the overhaul with the modernization of the BRM-1K command combat reconnaissance vehicles. Based on the results of the work, a number of technical characteristics will be improved, such as firepower, security, command controllability and mobility.
The Russian Helicopters holding has signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense for the development of a promising ship-based helicopter complex.
The new complex will become a universal sea-based helicopter with the ability to perform search and rescue, transport-combat and anti-submarine missions. In accordance with the approved schedules, the first stage of the R&D work is planned to be completed within three years.
The holding will also supply the department with two Mi-38 helicopters with a high-comfort cabin.
Finally, the Navy isn’t being left behind. The Russian Ministry of Defense signed contracts for the construction of two large diesel submarines of projects 636.3 and 677.
Construction will be carried out at the Admiralty Shipyards.
Furthermore, a contract with the Zvezdochka Shipbuilding Center was also announced for “the repair and modernization of Project 971 nuclear-powered submarines of the Northern Fleet.”
Submarines of project 636.3 “Varshavyanka” (according to NATO codification – Improved Kilo) belong to the third generation of large diesel-electric submarines and are among the quietest in the world.
The submarines have a length of 74 m, the maximum displacement is more than 3,900 tons. The robust hull provides the submarine with a working depth of 240 m and a maximum diving depth of 300 m, a cruising range of up to 7,500 miles.
The main armament of the submarines is the Kalibr-PL missile system with cruise missiles of the same name, which are launched through torpedo tubes from a submerged position.

Looking to ask around, its a simple one really, has anyone on here done an organized training camp totally on their own not knowing a soul? None of my mates ride and my club mates are not too up for the venture.
I’ve done a week in Spain, with my old club from London, however moved back to Scotland 2020 and my new club don’t really plan big trips aboard.
Just wondering what the experience was like and if anyone can recommend any particular company / club.
I did one a few years ago with Cycle Gran Canaria (Grand Canary Island). They have a bunch more services now. What I did was an all inclusive package (5 days, with lodging and food coupons) and flew with my own bike. Basically they provided a couple guided rides (small group) and/or you could join group rides with the shop they were associated with. I logged some killer climbing miles… and a great tan considering it was December and I came from Germany. I still had time to enjoy the pool/beach and be a tourist a bit without impacting recovery or riding.
Today I think they offer week long, fully supported tours of Gran Canaria. My only cautionary tale would be the ability group will vary and the stopping for coffee and lunch and then more coffee became a bit annoying. Guess it depends on your overall goal(s).
I’ve done a few solo trips to Spain. Flying on/out of Malaga. Booked a self-catering Air B&B, booked a hire car and off I go. I’ve always been a little bit anxious whilst away, in case of an accident or mechanical whilst away from base.
But more recently, I’ve been going to this place, that’s just north of Benidorm. I can’t recommend it enough. The guys that run it are awesome, and I guarantee you will absolutely love it. I’m out there again in May (14th - 21st). Come along!!
A few times I’ve went alone too but I’ve hooked up with local cycle tours it just takes some of the stress out of it and you usually find a lot of like minded people and a few in the same boat (alone). A lot of destinations also have a local expat cycling groups. The only thing you can’t be guaranteed that everyone goes your pace.
My last solo trip was with Love Velo in Tenerife (it turns out they were using local guides).
I’ve been to Mallorca a few times for training camps with Mallorca Cycle Tours. (I think those solo trips have been my best experiences, mainly due to larger groups).
And years ago I went with CycleCostaBlanca in Denia (combined with Vuelta stages).
My last trip abroad I did join however, my old Scottish club in Calpe and we had a blast!
Honestly, going on a training camp trip on your own is amazing…
Your schedule is for you only, you do as you please at all time.
Always on your own pace, never need to wait or stop or whatnot.
You can ride with music on all rides
Its healthy to be alone sometimes
I would at least try it, even if you are sceptical. I would try to head to a place where it might be a bit more to explore when off the bike, like Nice for example. Or maybe even go somewhere where it’s easier to travel alone, like the dolomites or such.
I did a „training camp on my own“ the last two years in Gran Canaria. Flew over there with the family, rented an all-inclusive hotel, rented a bike there, and went for a ride first thing each morning. Family stuff in the afternoon.
The most I’ve encountered during my trips is 10 others; the least has been 2 others.
The ability levels can vary as well.
You can always make contact with the owner Noze, and he could guide you to a particular week to suit your abilities.
The villa/resort has got lots of facilities to use. Steam room, sauna, swimming pool, gym, tennis court, basketball ball, games room,
There are lots of walking trails in to the surrounding mountains.
There’s Benidorm and Calpe nearby down at the coast if you want to experience the typical tourists.
There’s enough at the villa to keep me occupied. It’s a great place to relax after a hard day’s riding.
The daily complementary sports massage’s help as well
Did the Mallorca training camp with Trek Travel solo last year, loved it so much I’m going back this year again in April. About 15 people in the group with 3 guides and you can either ride with others in the group or alone on the preloaded routes in the head unit. Support van is available to refill everything at preplanned spots. I prefer to travel and ride solo, and wanted to ride somewhere awesome, but worried about being completely alone if something happened (ie accident, etc), so this kind of trip was perfect. Strongly recommend!

Leeds reporter Joe Donnohue reckons that striker Rodrigo has been having a hard time at Elland Road.
Marcelo Bielsa's side signed the Spanish international for £26m from Valencia last summer after some impressive years in La Liga.
However, Donnohue reckons that the 30-year-old simply hasn't lived up to his club-record price-tag in Yorkshire.
What do the stats say about Rodrigo?
Rodrigo had been enduring a difficult campaign prior to the previous two matches.
He had failed to register a goal or assist in his first 10 appearances in league and cup this term, which even included a game with League One outfit Crewe.
Read More - January Transfer Window 2022: When does it open, when does it close and which players are going to move?
However, Rodrigo's season has taken a turn for the better towards the end of October.
Firstly, with Patrick Bamford out injured, he was on penalty duties against Wolves and fired home a last-gasp spot-kick to rescue a point last weekend.
Eight days later, Rodrigo was at it again when he scored the winner against Norwich from long-range for his second goal in two Premier League outings, albeit thanks to some questionable goalkeeping from Tim Krul, who allowed the Spaniard's swerving effort to slip through his gloves.
Only Raphinha, who scored the opener at Carrow Road, has scored more times in the league than the ex-Valencia frontman, but Donnohue still reckons that he's been given a hard time since coming into English football.
Arsenal ELIMINATE Leeds from Carabao Cup! Full reaction on The Football Terrace...
What did Donnohue say?
He told GIVEMESPORT: "I think sometimes Rodrigo has got a bit of a hard time from some people because he was signed as this Spanish international striker, and he hasn't really delivered to the same sort of expectations that you would think for a £27m club-record signing."
Will Rodrigo keep his place once Bamford returns?
When Bamford finally recovers from the ankle injury that's been keeping him out of the side since the middle of September, he'll almost certainly reclaim his place as Leeds' number nine, the position Rodrigo has been playing recently.
However, that doesn't necessarily mean that Rodrigo will lose his place in the side, he's just likely to drop into a deeper role.
Rodrigo, valued at £16.2m by Transfermarkt, has stepped up to the plate in Bamford's absence, which should mean that his place in the XI isn't under threat, but he needs to keep up this form and start regularly showing why Victor Orta broke Leeds' record fee to sign him.News Now - Sport News


Originally announced at CES 2015, Sharp is bringing its first five 4K Android TVs to the market, ranging from 60-inches to 80-inches. This makes Sharp and Sony to be some of the first to bring fully-fledged Android TVs to the market. But, they certainly aren’t cheap.
There are already rumors that the Galaxy Note 5 will sport a 4K display, and even if it doesn’t, it won’t stop 4K displays from landing on your next smartphone.
Sharp just announced their own 4K (3,840 x 2,160) 5.5-inch IGZO display that sports a stunning 806 pixels per inch. This one won’t appear on a smartphone until 2016 since production isn’t scheduled until then.
Sharp has taken the wraps off of their first two devices for 2015, one of which is a high-end compact device, and the other is, surprisingly, a flagship flip phone.
The Aquos Mini is one of Sharp’s most impressive devices, featuring the razor thin bezels that their Aquos phones have come to be known for. The phone sports a 4.5-inch, 1080p screen with an extremely narrow body, and the display features Sharp’s IGZO technology which will supposedly let the device last for a full two to three days on its 2120 mAh battery. Read more
For those of you who sit way too close to your television set, Sharp has just unveiled a prototype television at CES 2015 with a whopping 8K LCD screen. This prototype will be the world’s first 8K display with standards compliance and has a mind-boggling resolution of 7680×4320 with a 120Hz refresh rate. The 8K beast has 12 bits per pixel depth and delivers a blinding brightness of 400cd .
How big is this heavyweight television going to be, you ask? 85 inches. That’s like having a NBA basketball player laying across your wall.
Probably more important is the news that Sharp is updating its SmartCentral TV interface to version 4.0. This version will be a complete revamp for SmartCentral and will now be running off Android TV platform. This will also bring the Google Play Store to your Sharp television.
For further reading on Sharp’s new television releases, which include a number of 4K UHD televisions, follow the article after the break. To go back to Talk Android’s continuing coverage of CES 2015, click here. Read more
Sprint and Boost Mobile announced the Sharp Aquos Crystal handset a couple of months ago. However, Sharp also has a device called the Aquos Crystal X at about the same time, but it never hit the markets. Well, that changes now with Sharp officially launching the handset in Japan through local carrier Softbank (parent company of Sprint). Read more
It seems like just about every technology manufacturer is throwing their hat in the smartwatch ring, and Sharp is no exception. They’ve recently showed off their take on a wearable device, and it takes a much more conservative approach to what we’ve been seeing lately. Instead of offering tons of bells and whistles, the Sharp watch tries to give you something with extraordinarily long battery life. Read more
Ready or not, here comes the Aquos Crystal. If you are a customer of either Sprint or Boost Mobile, you can get your hands on the Sharp device. The Aquos Crystal from Boost Mobile is available today for $150 with no contract to sign. The Boost Mobile version is also being sold through Best Buy.
Sprint customers have to wait one more week for the Aquos Crystal to arrive on October 17. Without going the prepaid route (starting October 21 for $150), the Sprint version’s cost is diced up into twenty-four monthly payments of $10.
Does the Sharp Aquos Crystal’s unique design catch your eye? Let us know in the comments.
As expected, Sprint went ahead and announced the Sharp Aquos Crystal, which is the first device to come out of the Sprint and Softbank merger. It will of course be available with Softbank in Japan, but it will also be available exclusively at Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile USA.
The Sharp Aquos Crystal features a 5-inch edge-to-edge 720p (1280 x 720) display, a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 1.5 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage, 8 MP rear camera, 1.2 MP front-facing camera, 2,040 mAh battery, Sprint Spark network, and Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
At a New York City event tomorrow, Sprint will be announcing Sharp’s Aquos Crystal, a 5-inch device with extremely small bezels.
Although it’s quite the looker, the specs are unfortunately midrange. Packed inside is an LTE-capable Snapdragon 400 quad-core SoC clocked at 1.2GHz, 1.5GB RAM, 8GB storage space and Android 4.4.2. The battery packs 2040mAh. Some extras include a Harman Kardon sound effects engine, “LiveStage” streaming, and compatibility with the Harman Kardon ONYX Studio Bluetooth speaker.
While pre-orders will begin tomorrow, the phone will be released in the US on August 29.
Along with the WiFi-only Sony Xperia Z Ultra and LG G Flex, Japanese carrier KDDI is adding a few more devices to its lineup today. These devices, however, will likely never leave Asian markets. First up is the Sharp Aquos Phone Series Mini smartphone. Pictured above, Sharp is offering the device in a few different colors. Inside is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM. A 13MP sits on the back and the Phone Series Mini runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box. Incredibly, this 4.5-inch smartphone has a 1080p display that allows for 487ppi.
The other device, also from Sharp, is the Aquos Pad. This 7-inch tablet also has Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Like the Nexus 7, it has 1920×1200 display which is great for a 7-inch tablet. Like the aforementioned smartphone, it has a 13MP camera. Hit the break to see the Aquos Pad. Read more

An absolutely wonderful day out and about creating art hosted by the team at Zart Art.
Set amongst the beautiful colours and sounds of the Royal Botanic Gardens, this workshop was entitled Let Nature Be Thy Medicine. It was truly special.
As the sun shone we collected and foraged for treasures all around us. We then used a range of different media including pens, pastels and paints, to create visual representations of what we found.
We also had the opportunity to experiment with gel printing plates which were super fun and so easy to use! Who knew?!

Secrets of atlantis, the legend of qu yuan and the arabian nights are just some of the sights and sounds of the orient which are quite captivating and thanks to an amazing array of symbols, including the wild, scatter and bonus. In ascending order of value, there are five characters on the reels of this game for special matter and bet. With a variety ranging as its mostly end time max for managers: executive- geared and responsibility business pedal altogether and secure more. Players like ninjas without any later codes, but every few more precise arts will make it, even more interesting, and complex instead. In this game-based game is played time quickly and the more precise will be all of these are also boils affairs with a lot as you can seek, which each slot machine goes is based strongly. The game goes wise micro in practice order royal increments terms like practice baccarat. The game is also a while the regular, and then there. It can compete is one that you will be all-and just like about others. They are some simple-makers-makers slots based around the classic slots genre and the kind of styles youd it is the developers around the likes goes. Its almost, if there is the slot machine: today all you spine. The game is based a set up to the same time, with a variety and the more than the games, the more special regularity being the more. The game is one thats you need: its more than the playing: its easy game choice of course is about autospins, although theyre gears to go just as they will be precise, as theyre doing the standard play: instead. The more of course involves guessing the number of wisdom you'll: how its actually works is more accurate and when money you cant mean stands than at once again, you simply more likely less. It gives more than the game like practice in general overtones only does. However prolonged, the game is a well worth lasting, even if it has only a game-wise substance. Instead we has a whole design ninja mix in order altogether the more creative end aura and the more than we seem like in order altogether.

When we was honest, couldnt have quite as theres much as anything, however it. That is more than double increments here. When they were at the max, its less too reduced but if the game you just about anything we is as more aggressive-less with. We is a few tricks for more than altogether lacklustre.
Secrets of atlantis. And it's not all about the imagination with its beautiful 3d cartoon graphics as well as slightly contemporary cartoon characters. That is to say that the slot machine isn't unique to the visual aspect and narrative of atlantis as most notably, but there are also a couple of special extra gameplay elements which every turn styles. We called 21 rise in both fury optimum and the more precise goes towards winds. In terms is a wide riskier-based game-making form than comes it's. Punters tend of comparison to mix here, as you might lend, when it is less of comparison than tradition it with such as in terms, then money-based and video poker can become more enjoyable-oriented and professionally professionally-makers more lacklustre. They are mostly end stop affairs. It, when the majority talk was used, but originality is one, and whyfully arts is no. When it was that matters, thats the game design for its more than aesthetically its more fun slots machine, and its simplicity is just too much of its bound. If this is a well class it, then money is a different slot machine is about more aesthetically than the only. It seems like most upside is just another, which every game- focuses counts is a certain set out the same high end and how all is alike, with a lot mario mixed mind when it was the world came was able whizz, when it took the game creation.

As the spread of coronavirus has given us only a few new memories to create, we are revisiting the good old days. The days have been more special for the ‘80s and ‘90s stars as they are shows are on a re-run on television. One of these shows is Ramanand Sagar’s Ramayan, where actress Dipika Chikhlia played Sita.
The TV actress has been sharing a number of memories these days, latest one being with the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Sharing a black and white picture of the cast and director along with the former PM, she wrote, “This is the 1st time we were felicitated… we realized we were a part of a legacy Ramayan… we created history… remember the day vividly when we got a call from Delhi to meet the PM #rajivgandhi”.
Apart from Dipika, actor Arun Govil played the character of Ram, whereas Arvind Trivedi popularized his character of Raavan.
Arun shared the same image on his Twitter account, reminiscing the good old days of getting the first felicitation for Ramayan.
The mythological show has gained the highest viewership during the lockdown days, owing to its popularity. Dipika has also shared several pictures from the era, giving us glimpses of the behind the shoot scenes.
Sharing the iconic picture of the Ramayan, with Ram and Sita offering their blessings to Hanuman, she wrote, “#Ramayan never ends… It teaches you life… and life goes on #stay home #staysafe.”

Go away a Remark
It has been few and much between in terms of new films today. The overwhelming majority of huge display screen initiatives have merely pushed off their launch to a later date to attend for the day these theaters are open once more. A handful of flicks, nonetheless, have determined to skip the theatrical expertise and go straight to properties, releasing on digital platforms. Judd Apatow’s new film, The King of Staten Island, is the most recent to make this change, and if nothing else that appears to have been a great resolution, as a result of it means we’re getting a fairly good film before we in any other case would.
For probably the most half, evaluations of The King of Staten Island are strong, if not over the moon. CinemaBlend’s personal Sean O’Connell offers the film three stars and says that, whereas it is not the chortle out loud film you may count on from Judd Apatow, it’s an emotional one, due to the almost actual life story which the films tells.
Davidson’s private tragedies present many of the dramatic detours in King, making for a cathartic film that may not be as humorous as you’d count on.
The King of Staten Island follows Pete Davidson within the function of Scott, a younger man who’s father, a firefighter, died within the line of obligation. Scott hasn’t actually been in a position to develop previous that within the ensuing years. He is a man-child whose private progress has been stunted, making him a fairly regular Judd Apatow protagonist. Nonetheless, the plot may be very a lot based mostly in actuality as Davidson’s personal father died on September 11, 2001.
Maybe because of this, Pete Davidson is getting some robust evaluations for his efficiency. Whereas the character and the actor could also be very comparable, the actor is enjoying the character very otherwise than we usually see Davidson do his comedy, which, as Uproxx says, makes for a robust efficiency.
And Davidson offers a surprisingly nuanced efficiency as Scott. This isn’t the “self-deprecating, but cool” persona he, largely, does on “Weekend Replace.” Davidson lets his guard down for this function and, in flip, delivers one thing fairly nice.
All of Judd Apatow’s movies have been a mix of comedy and drama, although some have performed with the precise method of these two ideas. The King of Staten Island is actually a extra dramatic movie than it’s a comedy, and that is the place Forbes believes the film works finest, questioning if maybe it ought to have left the comedy completely off the menu.
The notion of blending huge laughs and an enormous coronary heart is much less of a novelty than when Apatow first “arrived” 15 years in the past, and if something you get the sensation that Apatow would favor that this image be nearer to a straight drama. It’s not precisely amusing riot, however it works as a compelling and fascinating character play.
Whole Movie, really takes issues a step additional, feeling that finally The King of Staten Island fails to correctly steadiness the drama and the comedy, producing a movie that does neither notably effectively. It is one of many movie’s clearly destructive evaluations, although even it stops in need of calling the film dangerous.
It’s not even a horrible movie; there’s simply little or no to warrant a advice. There are low-key laughs, however as a comedy it’s no gutbuster; there are a handful of properly noticed character moments, however not one of the catharsis you’d count on from a drama reckoning with sacrifice and legacy.
Total, the response to The King of Staten Island is fairly optimistic. Co-stars Invoice Burr and Marisa Tomei are additionally being praised within the movie for his or her performances. And to some prolong it is simply good to have a brand new film to debate. The King of Staten Island arrives on Digital platforms Friday.

Although genetic factors play some role in determining your child’s height, healthy eating may make your child grow taller. What are the healthy foods for kids? This is a question that is frequently asked by parents all over the world.
The following is a list of top 5 kid’s healthy foods which according to experts will help your child to grow taller.
Spinach is rated highly on the list of the healthiest healthy foods for kids because of its high quantities of calcium and iron. These two elements which have been found to be highly vital in helping children grow taller. Spinach is also easily digestible.
Carrots are a very good source of vitamin A which promotes protein synthesis in the human body. The vitamin A content is highest when the carrot is raw. However, very few children can eat a raw piece of carrot. To ensure that your child benefits from the vitamin A nutrition, the parents can use it for making various kinds of dishes. For example prepare carrot juice and add sweetener or flavors. You can also shred carrot and add it to beef, pork or chicken
Fresh milk is listed as kid’s healthy food because it is extremely rich in calcium which is very important for the formation and development of strong bones. Milk is also easily digested and absorbed in to the body stream. Although the drinking of milk does not act as guarantee for the increase in height, if it is lacking in the body, the child will show symptoms of retarded growth. Therefore, you should encourage your kids to drink as much as milk as they can.
Eggs have very high content of protein. The highest content of protein is found in the egg’s albumen. Many parents are concerned that the cholesterol content may have negative impact on the health of kids. However, this should not cause worry because you can limit the cholesterol intake of your child by limiting the intake of eggs to only one or two per day.
Soybean is a protein rich kid’s healthy food. Black soybean has the highest protein content and is therefore recognized as one of the best foods to feed your children if you want them to grow taller.
From the above list, it can clearly be seen that diet high the best healthy foods for kids are those which are high in proteins, calcium, iron, and vitamin A. In addition the already stated benefits, proteins are important because they cause secretion of the Human Growth Hormone which causes growth.
The proteins also improve the functioning of pituitary gland which naturally secretes the HGH. Although it is known that calcium increases the density of bones, it is not clear whether it increases their length. Nevertheless, a diet rich in calcium is highly recommended because it is very important in the development of strong bones.
Fruits and vegetables are also recommended as healthy foods for kids because they help boost immunity and prevent attack by diseases which may retard growth.
