Two falls. Two female jockeys. Two deaths that raise questions about racing in Australia.

When Australian jockeys Melanie Tyndall and Mikaela Claridge went to work last week, no one could have anticipated they wouldn’t come home.

But the two women died after sustaining injuries from horse falls; creating a hole in not only their respective families, but also their second family – the racing community.

Because sadly, Tyndall and Claridge have become part of a startling statistic: since 2014, nine of the last 10 jockey deaths in Australia have been women.

It’s raised some oft-discussed questions in the industry in recent years: is the sport somehow safer for men than women? Is there a reason for these statistics, or is it just the way it’s turned out?

You can learn more about the tragic deaths of Melanie Tyndall and Mikaela Claridge in the video below. Post continues after video.

Two jockeys who loved their sport.

32-year-old Melanie Tyndall, originally from Murray Bridge in South Australia, moved to Darwin in 2012 to pursue her love of horse racing – while she was also a police officer.

Tyndall graduated from the police academy in 2018 and became engaged to her partner Tony Harris earlier this year.

But last week, the young jockey died when her horse clipped the heel of another during a race in Darwin. She became unbalanced, and later died in hospital.

In a statement, the Darwin Turf Club said of the jockey’s death; “Melanie was transported by St John Ambulance to Royal Darwin Hospital where she was afforded further medical care, but despite the best efforts of the professionals at RDH, Melanie passed away.

"RIP Mel. You were a remarkable human being." Image: Facebook.

“Melanie was a much-respected member of the Northern Territory racing family and her sad passing will be felt by many within the industry.”

Northern Territory police are also struggling with the loss of one of their own.

The Northern Territory's Acting Police Commissioner Michael Murphy told the ABC that Tyndall was, "highly regarded across all aspects of policing wherever she served".

Tyndall was also acknowledged by her friend and trainer, Michael Hickmott, in a tweet to the community, calling her a “remarkable human being”.

Less than 48 hours before Tyndall’s death, 22-year-old apprentice jockey Mikaela Claridge died after falling from her horse during training near Melbourne. She was attended to immediately by the on-course paramedic but could not be saved.

Training at Cranbourne Racecourse was cancelled, as was an eight-race meet at Pakenham that day. Jockeys wore black armbands on Saturday in race two at Caulfield, Rosehill and Warracknabeal, the latter of which was the race Claridge intended to ride in.

Claridge began Racing Victoria’s Apprentice Jockey Training Program in 2015. A back injury soon after meant she put her training on pause until 2017. Claridge then came second when she rode her first race at Wangaratta in August 2018, and won her first race the next month.

In April this year, she married husband Jamie Ferguson.

After her accident last week, in a statement, the Australian Jockeys Association said:

“We are all going to miss Mikaela’s bright smile and positive attitude.

“After injury initially stalled her apprenticeship, she had started to build a really promising riding career over the past 12 months working with horses she loved.”

Why have recent jockey deaths been mostly women?

Amongst the devastation and grief, the conversation in the racing industry naturally turns to why the accidents happened; and why nine out of 10 of the most recent fatalities have been women.

The industry accepts that horse racing can be a dangerous sport for any jockey, with a high risk of injury. The Australian Jockeys Association CEO Martin Talty acknowledged on Sunday, racing “is a sport that we all love, but sometimes it can be so cruel, and we’ve seen that in the last 24 to 48 hours".

Des O’Keeffe, also from the Australian Jockeys Association, agrees. He told the ABC that horse racing was a dangerous sport.

"Unfortunately, there was a study done many years ago which provided those facts, that as a sporting pursuit there is nothing more dangerous.

"Safety equipment, whether it be plastic running rails, headwear, safety protective equipment, is as good as it can be. But there is an inherent danger in pursuing that profession.”

O’Keeffe also warned against conclusions about the accidents being drawn too early, especially about any gender-based implications.

“There needs to be a preliminary look at it, and a very wide-ranging discussion, because every single incident [has] got differences,” he said.

Five years ago, when speaking about the death of jockey Desiree Gill, O’Keeffe made his thoughts on the issue clear: saying female jockey deaths were related to gender was doing a disservice to the women who had worked hard to be where they are.

“These women have worked their backsides off to be considered competent, skilled, professional jockeys,” he said.

“Whether they are female or male genuinely shouldn’t come into it, what is relevant is that they are every bit as skilled, as competent, as dedicated, and as professional as their male counterparts, and deserve to be recognised as that.”

This week, Racing Victoria’s chief medical officer, Dr Gary Zimmerman, explained the statistics in a wider context, sharing that while there were now more female jockeys, the majority of injuries he saw were from men.

“The injuries that we see in jockeys vary a lot, from simple bruises to major fractures,” he told The Australian.

Perhaps the answer then is to increase safety measures? But O’Keeffe assured the ABC that, "If there was something more that could be done, this industry would do it, this sport would do it".

For Whom the Clock Ticks: Reproductive Ageing and Egg Freezing in Dutch and British News Media

Lucy van de Wiel

About Lucy van
Lucy van de Wiel is a funded PhD candidate at the Amsterdam School of Cultural Analysis, University of Amsterdam, under the supervision of Mieke Bal, José van Dijck and Esther Peeren. Her research focuses on changing understandings of ageing and the reproductive body in public discourses surrounding egg freezing. The dissertation is structured around the journey of the egg in oocyte cryopreservation, from the anticipation of the age-related decline of in vivo eggs, to their extraction and cryopreservation, and from the fertilised eggs' in vitro selection to their implantation and global redistribution. She holds a BA (English Language and Culture, cum laude) and Research MA (Cultural Analysis, cum laude) from the University of Amsterdam. She pursued postgraduate studies as a HSP and Fulbright grantee in Rhetorics at the University of California, Berkeley and graduated with distinction in the MA Film Curating at the London Film School and London Consortium, University of London.

The last century saw struggles for women's reproductive choices both to avoid childbearing (i.e. abortion, contraception) and to achieve it (i.e. IVF, artificial insemination). Now, after the turn of the millennium, these two approaches to regulate reproduction are combined in oocyte cryopreservation (OC), or egg freezing. With it, a new reproductive question has emerged as egg freezing simultaneously represents an active choice not to have children at present and a commitment to a future, possibly assisted, reproduction. Women's usage of OC to preserve fertility is itself an act of refusing current childbearing, thus calling into question an easy distinction between reproductive and non-reproductive behaviour. In this article, I discuss the representation of this new choice by using a selection of Dutch and UK news media pieces, focusing specifically on the implications of egg freezing for conceptualisations of the female reproductive body as site of a gendered politics of ageing.

Firstly, I address the rhetorical divisions between 'medical' and 'social' motivations for egg freezing and then I argue that the media narratives around these divisions create new subject positions related to reproductive identity through which medical authority becomes extended into new parts of social life. Secondly, I address the discursive construction of the decision to use egg freezing technology in relation to the notion of the 'biological clock' and the reconceptualisations of age-specific (non-)reproductive bodies, which focus on the ovum as the locus of fertility. The news coverage of OC thus reveals a gendered politics of ageing, predicated on reproductive ability as the organising principle for the temporal structuring of life, which not only interpellates (potentially) infertile women who desire to reproduce, but also has an impact on the wider public.

Dixie Kong is a young monkey and one of the main protagonists in the Donkey Kong games. One of her prominent features is a long blonde ponytail which she uses in the Donkey Kong Country games to attack, hold onto objects such as hooks, and hover in the air by spinning it like a rotor, a move called the Helicopter Spin. A member of the Kong family, she is Diddy Kong's girlfriend, Tiny Kong's older sister, and the cousin of both Chunky Kong and Kiddy Kong; she has partnered with several members on a number of adventures to rescue their kin or reclaim Donkey Kong Island from antagonistic forces, such as Kremlings and Snowmads. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III feature Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong in starring roles. Outside of the Donkey Kong franchise, she has made appearances in various Mario sports games and Mario Kart Tour as a playable character. Dixie Kong is generally depicted in a pink outfit consisting of a beret and a tied crop top, and in many of her earlier appearances she also wore pink knee pads. She displays a sanguine and energetic personality, often expressed in cheerful vocalizations and acrobatic mannerisms.

Why you need to inspect data visually

I hope Francis Anscombe‘s friends and family will forgive me not noticing his excellent example data until half a century after he published it, but Anscombe’s Quartet is excellent.

Four sets of data which share very similar summary statistics (e.g. mean and variance) but which, when you look at them, are clearly very different in many important ways.

A great reminder of why you need to inspect data visually and not just rely on automated number crunching:

My 14 Favorite Keto-Friendly Snacks

inline_mark_kitchenKeto tends to discourage snacking. Not as in “If you’re keto, you’re not allowed to snack!” More like “If you’re keto, you probably won’t feel the need to snack as much.”

Still, hunger strikes. Situations arise where you need a little something to nourish you in the moment without having to cook a meal. This isn’t a problem. But you do need to be prepared—or else risk derailing your efforts.

A snack must be instantly available or take no more than a minute or two of preparation. A snack shouldn’t be something that makes you groan or use more than one or two bowls or pieces of kitchen equipment to prepare. It should be an afterthought.

What are my favorite keto-friendly snacks? I’ve got 14.

1. Coconut Butter

As I mentioned in last week’s “Day in the Life of Keto” video, my go-to keto-friendly snack is a tablespoonful of Artisana coconut butter. It’s sweet, without having much sugar. It’s creamy, without having any dairy (if you care about that sort of thing). It’s full of fiber, which some people have trouble finding on a keto diet. And it’s right there, waiting, ready without any real preparation.

2. Brad’s “Stu Can’t Stop Chocolate Bark”

Stu is my writing partner—and buddy Brad Kearns’ dog. Stu can’t stop barking once he gets going. “Stu Can’t Stop Bark” is Brad’s edible, polyphenol-rich homage to Stu.

  1. Take a pound of 80%+ chocolate and break it up into pieces. Add half to a double boiler or glass bowl set above a boiling pot.
  2. As chocolate melts, add 3 tablespoons of coconut oil. Stir to combine.
  3. Add two cups of chopped macadamias or other nuts to a large mixing bowl along with the rest of the chocolate.
  4. When chocolate/oil mixture is completely melted, pour it into the mixing bowl. Stir until everything is melted and evenly distributed. Really coat those nuts.
  5. Spread half the mixture evenly into a 15 x 10 inch glass baking pan. Drizzle three tablespoons of almond butter across the top. Optional: sprinkle coconut flakes or coconut butter across the top.
  6. Spread the rest of the mixture across the top. Sprinkle sea salt. Optional: sprinkle coconut flakes or coconut butter across the top.
  7. Refrigerate until solidified. Remove from pan, cut into squares with large chef’s knife. Keep refrigerated or frozen until ready to eat (immediately).

Do not give Stu, or any other dog, Stu Can’t Stop Bark. They can’t process the theobromine in the dark chocolate. To a dog, chocolate bark is way worse than a bite. To a human, it’s pure fuel.

3. Avocado Mashed With Sardine

This one takes a small amount of preparation (about a minute). You could make it ahead of time and leave it in the fridge, but the risk of a browning avocado is too great for me to bear. What’s a minute anyway? We all have plenty of those laying around.

First, grab a can of sardines. Wild Planet in EVOO is my preferred type. Open it up, dump it in a bowl. I don’t always include all the can oil. Sometimes my dog Shanti gets it, sometimes I keep it. There will be plenty of fat either way.

Next, add a diced avocado.

Add a sprinkle of salt.

This is where choice enters. I’ll either squeeze a lemon over the bowl, or add a tablespoon of Primal Kitchen Green Goddess dressing.

Stir to combine.

Double it up and you have yourself a solid meal.

4. Mac Nuts In Greek Yogurt

Either is a great snack by itself. Together, they become more powerful than you can imagine. Mac nuts are inherently sweet, especially once you’ve removed sugar from your diet and increased your appreciation of subtle flavor. Because the yogurt is so thick, the mac nuts are suspended throughout the entirety rather than pool at the bottom as happens with runnier yogurt. Every spoonful nets you yogurt and mac nut.

5. Keto Coconut Cheesecake Bites

Go read the post, make the recipe, and report back. Better than expected, right?

6. Three Raw Egg Yolks

More than a snack, this is a quick cognitive pick-me-up. Egg yolks are loaded with brain-boosting nutrients like choline. Many of the nutrients in the egg yolk are encased in phospholipids, making them highly bioavailable and potent—similar to liposomal supplements. The vitamin D in eggs is “stronger” than the vitamin D in supplements, for example. The omega-3s in pastured or omega-3-enhanced eggs are more potent than those in fish oil.

7. Toasted Coconut Flakes

There are places that sell them unsweetened; these are a good example.

But you can also toast your own quite easily. 325° F oven, baking sheet, single layer, dash of salt, 10-12 minutes or until desired brownness. If you like the results, play around with some additional spices. Turmeric with black pepper. Curry powder. Cayenne. Cumin and garlic powder.

8. Boiled Eggs

For my money, the egg is the perfect keto food. Nice protein—fat ratio, excellent micronutrient profile (especially if you go with pastured eggs). They boil nicely, too.

Hard-boiled eggs store well for days in the fridge. You can chop them up, mix with mayo and mustard, and have delicious egg salad in under a minute. You can eat them straight up with bit of salt and pepper. You can devil them.

Soft-boiled eggs don’t store as well in the fridge, especially if you make the yolks as runny as I like, but they’ll last for at least a few days. And let’s be honest: soft-boiled eggs never last long. They’re too good. My personal favorite way to eat a soft-boiled egg is to toss it in salt, turmeric, and black pepper. Another good way is to make marinated kombu and tamari soft-boiled eggs.

9. Smoked Oysters

Crown Prince smoked oysters are a hidden gem in the grocery aisle. You get a big dose of zinc and iron. All you have to do is pop open the can, grab a fork (these get messy, so don’t use your fingers), and get to snacking.

10. Nori-Wrapped Tuna Salad

First, make tuna salad. I always go basic here. Primal Kitchen Mayo, tuna. I do drain the tuna, either drinking the juice or, again, giving it to Shanti. Leaving the liquid in with the tuna and mayo gives it a wet texture I don’t prefer.

I’ll keep a big container of that made ahead of time. Then I just spoon it into nori, fold together, and cram into mouth.

You get a nice dose of omega-3s, selenium, and protein from the tuna, along with iodine from the seaweed.

11. Cold Leg Of Lamb With Sharp Cheddar

This isn’t a constant presence in my snack arsenal. I don’t always have a cooked leg of lamb sitting in my fridge. But when we do make leg of lamb, I make sure to save at least half of it for leftovers the rest of the week. Cold roast lamb is way better than cold roast beef. The two don’t even compare.

It’s medium rare, always. I eat it with a wedge of sharp cheddar, always.

12. Cold Chicken Leg

My old lunchtime standby when I didn’t have time to throw together a Big Ass Salad, the cold chicken leg is made for quick snacking. It comes with a handle. It has excellent texture—there’s something about the chilled fattiness of the thigh that makes it incredibly tender. I’ll keep a sack of cooked chicken legs (always whole, drumstick and thigh) in the fridge for easy access.

I love fresh roasted chicken, right out of the oven, and my favorite piece to eat is the thigh. But there’s something special about the cold chicken leg. A cold breast I could take or leave.

13. Crudités With Dip

Crudités are just sliced or whole raw vegetables served with dip. A traditional crudités platter comes with vinaigrette, and that’s a good option, but you have others.

Yogurt mint dipping sauce, bacon guacamole, guacamole, (my personal favorite) chipotle mayo.

There are millions of combinations. Possible vegetables include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, green beans, asparagus, peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, onions. Almost anything works.

FODMAP-sensitive folks might want to be careful with some of the raw vegetables. Choose wisely. Don’t eat a plate of raw broccoli if cooked broccoli gives you stomach issues.

14. Roasted Veggies

Every once in awhile, I’ll cut up a big mix of veggies (drawing on the list mentioned in the crudités section above), toss them in avocado oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them at 425° until I see what I like. I’m going for char, for browning, for caramelization. Some of them get eaten right away. The rest go into a glass container and into the fridge for snacks.

Eat cold.

Those are my 14 favorite keto-friendly snacks. What are yours?

Thanks for reading, everyone. Take care.

  1. Was just talking to a client about snacks:) so this was the perfect link to send along – thank you!

    I don’t snack myself, but if I were to reach for something between meals, it’d be a spoonful of coconut oil or coconut butter. With clients, I usually recommend reaching for healthy fats and protein first. Your avocado smashed with sardines sounds fantastic!

    1. I don’t snack either… actually, on most days, I only eat once!

      As far as the avocado smashed sardines goes, I know a guy… he does the same thing but adds tons of almond butter to it. At first I thought it was disgusting… I’ve since changed my mind.

  2. I hardly ever snack, per se. Sometimes I’ll have a can of smoked oysters or sardines as a light late breakfast. Some people would call this a snack. To me it’s a meal.

  3. “A cold breast, I could take or leave.” This place is a gold mine.

    1. Yeah, and “Really coat those nuts.” Here’s a guy whose bark is as good as his (keto) bites.

  4. Mark do you worry about BPA or alumium leaching into canned tuna and sardines? what about mercury in tuna? Thanks!

    1. I don’t know about Mark but I do know about companies like Season Brand and Wild Planet using BPA free containers. I hope that they haven’t swapped the BPA for another substrate that leaches equally bad compounds.

      As far as the mercury goes, I’d definitely stay away from Tuna; stick with the wild sardines and wild anchovies. Go for the skin on and bone-in variety. If you can get the heads attached, even better!

      Mark, if you do read this, maybe you can comment about the olive oils that are added to these cans. Since they add the oil, then cook the can, what happens to that oil? Is it rancid… I find it a bit challenging to believe that these massive companies are using a true, authentic olive oil in the first place. Even harder to believe that the olive oil has been handled in a way to preserve all that goodness and prevent all the badness. IDK… I’d think that a skin on sardine would fair much better in this environment.

      1. I don’t remember if it was Chris Kressor or Chris Masterjohn who pointed out that adequate selenium means you don’t need to worry about mercury, and guess what, you’ll get enough selenium from that tuna so just eat the tuna if that’s what you like. There are other reasons to pick sardines or oysters over tuna, but mercury ain’t necessarily one of them.

      2. I’ve always drained the oil from my cans just because of this situation. Don’t trust 95% of the olive oils out there. I add my own high quality EVOO.

        If you are going to go for tuna, choose Chunk Light.

  5. Movement snacks needs to be on this list!

    A mismatch between our ancestral and modern environments, in terms of physical activity and natural movement, comes to mind as being almost as big a mismatch as is diet. I’ve always said that what you do with your body is just as important as what you put into it… in maintaining a “healthy level of movement,” one develops a healthy approach to consumption, where instincts become far more identifiable and beneficial. The well-being that builds from balanced movement trumps the need for consumption based satisfaction, such as food, pain killers, alcohol, drugs etc.

    – First thing in the morning I walk for twenty to thirty minutes… this is my cup of coffee
    – Early afternoon, I walk for twenty to thirty minutes… this is my afternoon nap
    – After dinner our tribe walks in rain, snow or shine for thirty minutes

    I also lift heavy things but this supplemental to moving around at a slow pace. Get moving and take notice how other things fall into place. If you still desire primal keto snacks, have some liver and kidney pemmican (or) maybe even some adrenal.

    In the early 1900s Dr. Weston Price wrote about the Indians of the far north taking a moose and favoring two small balls in the fat just above the kidneys. Here’s an excerpt from his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration… “The Indian would take and cut up into as many pieces as there were little and big Indians in the family and each one would eat his piece…”

    When we dial in the fundamentals, when we honor the ways or our early ancestors (Primal Blueprint), there remains little need for supplements and snacks.

    1. Thanks for your input, Liver King. I also want to extend a thanks for sharing your Protein shake recipe here and on your website. It appears to be keto. Can you confirm?

      1. Anytime… I love this place! As it relates to my shake, it’s totally keto… at least in my book, it’s keto. The macros are about 70 to 75% Fat, 20% Protein, < 5% Carbs. So yeah, by the book, it's definitely keto. Whether or not it's keto for the individual will depend on that person's physiology. You and I may thrive with these macros, with these quantities, while that much protein might be too much for others.

        I also like to earn my survival which is why I almost always move, or lift heavy things, prior to eating. If gluconeogenesis is indeed happening (and I don't know if it is or isn't), I believe it's going into muscle tissue anyway because my blood sugar and serum BHB numbers support that.

        Thank you for checking out the site!

        1. Liver King – just wanted to extend a big thank you for your awesome comments and insights! I always make sure to read your comments and find them extremely helpful! This might be the only place on the internet where people’s comments are just as helpful and valid as the posts themselves!

    2. .Movement snacks. I love this.So often we eat when we are bored or tired. I have made a few of the fat bombs in the Keto book and they keep calling my name so I have to avoid them.

      1. Movement snacks, love that! I also have trouble with anything resembling sweet treats. This one doesn’t spark my sweet tooth but it satisfies. Melt 3/4 cup coconut oil, add an entire can of coconut milk, stir in a cup of unsweetened coconut and spoon into moulds. Of course, you’d need to like coconut for this to be appealing.

  6. Hi Mark! Love the snacks ideas! You made several mentions of dogs here. I have two myself. Got me thinking… I don’t believe I have seen a “Primal Pets” post yet. Any chance of that in the future?
    Thank you!

  7. I will never stop eating smoked oysters. My top ten list:

    10. Cashews, the organic ones from Trader Joe’s are like eating crunchy butter
    9. Raw almonds mixed with 100% dark chocolate chips
    8. Canned mackerel or smoked trout or clams when I get tired of sardines and tuna
    7. Marinated olives
    6. Turkey cold cuts
    5. Prosciutto or salami
    4. Raw clams
    3. Whiskey
    2. Raw oysters ($0.79 each at Whole Foods, so good)
    And hear me out here:
    1. Mark’s Daily Ketogenic Apple Replacement Product

  8. “Crown Prince smoked oysters are a hidden gem….”

    I love those oysters but I recently noticed that they have 8 grams of carbs per serving (just 12 grams of protein). I wonder where those 8 grams come from? Any ideas Mark?

    1. What about pickled Eggs??? I throw sliced onions and okra in as well.

  9. Big yes to all of these. I really just think of them as meals. The avocado and sardine combo is one of my all time favorite lunches because it tastes great and totally holds me. Sometimes I throw in a handful of spring mix, or diced red bell peppers. Smoked oysters are totally addictive…I eat them right out of the can. And the roasted veggies are a staple in my kitchen….great paired with sardines or any leftover protein for a quick meal.

  10. MARK! I’M SO CONFUSED! I keep hearing that the high protein in Greek Yogurt (casein…but also the whey in other dairy, high fat or not) would spike insulin sky-high and therefore not be very Keto friendly at all??

  11. Not a keto snack, but brain food none the less. Mark, try to catch the Andy Goldsworthy documentary Leaning into the Wind. It is full of primal movement. Hedge crawling anyone?

  12. Thanks for the great keto snack suggestions Mark!

    After having surgery due to Chrohns disease I find unfortunately I really struggle with digesting animal fats and protein.

    I’m getting by on some high quality olive oil, small amounts of avocado, raw coconut oil + algae oil for fat supplementation.

    Just wondering what type of vegan protein powders you would suggest to complement a keto diet?

  13. I thought Crown Prince Oysters were packed in cotton seed oil – full of all kinds of chemicals – hope I’m wrong.

  14. One table spoon of high quality olive oil with one drop of Red Boat Fish sauce is the perfect snack for me.

  15. Thanks, Mark, for sharing these healthy keto friendly snacks list. These snacks are for those who thought that keto tends to discourage snacking. It doesn’t mean that you aren’t allowed to eat snacks while the following keto. Find out these above-listed snacks to enjoy at home.

Designer flap bag...

Designer flap bag...

or “I like my cool Rock-and-Roll attitude”

Beautiful springtime is approaching, the days are getting longer, nature is waking up and we, like little birds warmed by the sun's rays, we are anticipating wondrous change, willing to sing, dance, bring ease and light into every part of our lives. Let's put our big coats and duffle jackets in the closet. The time for trench coats and leather biker jackets has arrived! Yes, winter is over and we are feeling young, light, beautiful, and Rock-and-Roll!!

Well, if you change your clothes, it would be preferable to also change your accessories (I'm talking about handbags)!. Besides, if you like accessories as much as I love shoes and bags, you should give them some time to rest, so they might serve you longer and better . But back to the subject! To help you feel as light as air, to be beautiful and rock, we created a small flap bag called "DINA". The small flap bag, "DINA" was designed to fit your minimum essentials: the new iPhone (oh, it’s big!), eyeglasses, a small wallet, keys and a lipstick. If you are looking to carry even less weight in your bag, you can leave your large wallet at home and replace it with a small card holder, which can be tucked safely in a small zippered pocket inside.

To accessorize all possible outfits perfectly, we developed "DINA" in eight leather colors! DINA’s long black leather strap also has five adjustment holes, allowing you to find the ideal length. So, the small flap bag can be worn crossbody by girls of all heights – from small to tall!

You might ask me why the strap of our DINA bag is black? Well, we did this to make it last. As you have probably noticed, in white or clear colored bags, it is the handles and the shoulder straps that get dirty very quickly. If the handle is black, your white bag can be used 2-3 time longer. In addition, black is a very popular color in clothing today, and there are more dark haired women than blondes. So, to make it easier for you to match the colors of your outfit, we decided to create our bags with small black accents.

Are you ready to feel light? Let’s Rock together! ;-)

Big Data Brings Big Change

Whilst legal proceedings commence in the United Kingdom against file sharers of the film ‘The Company You Keep‘. Ongoing education of the general public continues as industry representatives try to engage directly with consumers on exactly ‘what is copyright infringement’.

Industry bodies such as the Industry Trust are organising tactical educational campaigns in an approach toward promoting the value of copyright and creativity.  Speculation as to exactly what the social demographics of illegal file sharers are, based on the information at hand, has in some instances been hard to verify.  The use of real time data from peer-to-peer networks of daily file sharing of copyright protected content is now allowing industry executives to build relative genre and geographic specific data sets to share with the market to better understand where hot spots occur and how to target these areas within postcode specific areas around the globe.

Whilst this vast black market consumer data remains privileged, it does give rise to another question, What makes that data so valuable? Is it that it can hugely financially beneficial to those who wish to exploit creativity? Or, is it more valuable to those who wish to preserve it?

Benefit to the Industry

We have seen large increases of legal digital downloading within the last year, 2015 showed that downloads via platforms such as iTunes, Amazon and Google Play had increased by 12%, global information supplier IHS has confirmed these findings, who also estimate that transactional spend on Video On Demand platforms (where consumers purchase content to own) went up 19% in 2015, whilst subscription based services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime (sVoD) achieved a 45% uplift year on year. All news most welcome to those concerned with copyright infringement.

More Anon

Industry opinion may remain divided at times on as to why these trends appear, although it could be argued that the disorder of the media industry has its own macroscopic system, which in turn has its own entropic forces at work here, as have most consumer markets.

It is understandable that rights holders are keen to use these data sets to advance their litigious proceedings against individuals who steal and distribute their content without regard, we remain mindful that whilst some individuals are guilty as sin, it is also, in the industry’s best interest to not forget that well placed clemency can sometimes be just as useful in the fight against copyright theft.

Claudication is pain caused by too little blood flow to muscles during exercise. Most often this pain occurs in the legs after walking at a certain pace and for a certain amount of time — depending on the severity of the condition.

The condition is also called intermittent claudication because the pain usually isn't constant. It begins during exercise and ends with rest. As claudication worsens, however, the pain may occur during rest.

Claudication is technically a symptom of disease, most often peripheral artery disease, a narrowing of arteries in the limbs that restricts blood flow.

Treatments focus on lowering the risks of vascular disease, reducing pain, increasing mobility and preventing damage to tissues.

Claudication refers to muscle pain due to lack of oxygen that's triggered by activity and relieved by rest. Symptoms include the following:

  • Pain, ache, discomfort or fatigue in muscles every time you use those muscles
  • Pain in the calves, thighs, buttocks, hips or feet
  • Less often, pain in shoulders, biceps and forearms
  • Pain that gets better soon after resting

The pain may become more severe over time. You may even start to have pain at rest.

Signs or symptoms of peripheral artery disease, usually in more-advanced stages, include:

  • Cool skin
  • Severe, constant pain that progresses to numbness
  • Skin discoloration
  • Wounds that don't heal

When to see a doctor

Talk to your doctor if you have pain in your legs or arms when you exercise. Claudication can lead to a cycle that results in worsening cardiovascular health. Pain may make exercise intolerable, and a lack of exercise results in poorer health.

Peripheral artery disease is a sign of poor cardiovascular health and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Other conditions involving the blood, nerves, and bones can contribute to leg and arm pain during exercise. It's important to have a complete exam and appropriate tests to diagnose potential causes of pain.

Claudication is most often a symptom of peripheral artery disease. The peripheral arteries are the large vessels that deliver blood to the network of vessels in your legs and arms.

Peripheral artery disease is damage to an artery that restricts the flow of blood in an arm or leg (a limb). When you're at rest, the limited blood flow is generally still enough. When you're active, however, the muscles aren't getting enough oxygen and nutrients to work well and remain healthy.

Damage to peripheral arteries is usually caused by atherosclerosis. This is the buildup of cholesterol and other fats, blood cells, and other cellular debris into abnormal structures (plaques) on the lining of an artery.

Plaques cause a narrowing and stiffening of the artery, limiting the flow of blood. If the plaques rupture, a blood clot can form, further reducing blood flow.

Risk factors

The risk factors for peripheral artery disease and claudication include the following:

  • Smoking
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Obesity (a body mass index, or BMI, over 30)
  • Diabetes
  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Age older than 70 years
  • Age older than 50 years if you also smoke or have diabetes
  • A family history of atherosclerosis, peripheral artery disease or claudication

Claudication is generally considered a warning of significant atherosclerosis in the circulatory system, indicating an increased risk of heart attack or stroke. Additional complications of peripheral artery disease due to atherosclerosis include:

  • Skin lesions that don't heal
  • Death of muscle and skin tissues (gangrene)
  • Amputation of a limb

The best way to prevent claudication is to maintain a healthy lifestyle and control certain medical conditions. That means:

  • Quit smoking if you're a smoker
  • Exercise regularly
  • Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • If you have diabetes, keep your blood sugar in good control
  • Keep cholesterol and blood pressure within normal values

Q: A glove full of what?
A: Paraponera clavata, a large species of ant from South America. Actually more like, terrifyingly humongous with mandibles like saw blades. Fun fact: it’s called the “bullet ant” because each sting feels like you’ve been shot.

Q: Why is this change in the MFA curriculum being implemented?
A: The MFA faculty shares our students’ perspective that the workshop model is demoralizing, humiliating, and of questionable pedagogical value. Which is why we love it. But we have listened to your concerns, and we are excited to announce this alternative model of creative writing instruction that will inspire our students in completely new ways — by subjecting them to excruciating ant stings in an ancient Amazonian torture ritual.

Q: How does this new class structure work?
A: It’s simple! In a traditional workshop, you sit around a table while your peers discuss the positive attributes of your work and offer advice to fix its flaws, such as, “Maria, have you thought about changing the mermaids in this story to hookers?” Or, “I would love to read an even more detailed description of your narrator’s erect penis, Brett.” But with our new teaching strategy, you’ll just come to class and stick your hand into a glove with hundreds of furious insects woven stinger-side in, stabbing your flesh over and over like hundreds of tiny daggers.

Q: Cool, cool. Does the bullet ant have any other names that suggest terrible suffering?
A: The bullet ant is also called the 24-hour ant, because that’s how long the venom will leave you writhing in agony. Just like writing workshop.

Q: So, we’re just supposed to sit around the table with our hand in a glove full of bullet ants?
A: Of course not. Students are also encouraged to hop around the table on their left foot and chant.

Q: Is there an actual creative writing component to this class?
A: In order to make satisfactory progress toward their degree, students will be expected to recite Infinite Jest from memory while wearing the glove full of bullet ants. Students may also be asked to respond to a variety of topics, such as:

  • Perform an interpretive dance in the style of each literary Jonathan.
  • Using scholarly terminology, explain why there could not possibly be any merit to the latest #MeToo accusations against Professor Lambert.
  • A third example we haven’t thought of yet that’s totally writerly.

Q: Is there any risk of injury from the glove full of bullet ants?
A: Oh yes. We suggest using your non-dominant hand, as the venom will leave your entire limb paralyzed. But just temporarily. Probably.

Q: This sounds dangerous.
A: Regrettably, students who die from bullet ant stings will be asked to leave the MFA program.

Q: Has the glove full of bullet ants been approved by the Curriculum Committee or Institutional Review Board?
A: Absolutely not.

Q: Aren’t you worried that putting your students through this kind of ordeal could get you fired?
A: Are you kidding? We’re the MFA faculty — we have Pulitzers! We were on that New Yorker “20 Under 40 list”! No one gives a fuck what we do as long as we keep bringing in those Benjamins. By which we mean 27-year-olds named Benjamin who can pay $30K a year for a creative writing degree.

Q: But what about my 60k-word autofiction project? I was really looking forward to getting feedback.
A: You’re still welcome to submit it. No one was going to read it anyway.

Q: Maybe I’ll just turn in a short story.
A: That’s fine, but if your story contains magical realism you’ll have to wear bullet ant gloves on both hands.

Q: Is there anything else we need to know?
A: Due to the large amount of soil required to sustain a breeding colony of bullet ants, we suggest you avoid picnicking on the grass. Or playing frisbee. Or walking. Just stay at least one hectare away from any of the grass on campus. It turns out bullet ants can smell the distress pheromones of their comrades and then assemble their bodies into one giant bullet ant hellbent on revenge.

See you in class, Ben!

Nike: Search Terms Influence Consumers Differently On Google Vs. Amazon

The top 10 search terms on Google and have a different influence on consumers.

On the searches are product-specific. Searchers know the style or material of the product they are looking for, and they tend to be highly selective and specific. They also are willing to search for higher-priced items.

Air Force 1s, Air Max 270 are big styles for Nike fans. Most who go to the brand’s website know terms like “vapormax” and “flyknit,” which are specific types of cushioning and material in the shoes.

On Google, searches lead to interactions on It makes sense that they tend to include the brand name Nike, and lean toward broader keyword and product searches such as shoes, outlet, and running shoes.

On Amazon, the reverse occurs. Google searches tend to be much more specific. For example, the less popular Pegasus running shoe dominates the search terms -- mostly model 36 -- so searchers looking for model numbers 35 and 34 shop a year or two behind looking for a less expensive styles. searches -- specifically ones that contain the brand name -- are somewhat more generic, such as nike+: slides, shoes, running shoes, men.

Keywords that lead to shoe category product views vary. For example ranking No. 1, on google is “nike” compared with “air force 1” or “amazon prime” on Google and “nike shoes men” on

Consumers might search for “nike shoes” on Google and then search for “vapormax” on and “nike shoes women” on

Consumers who search for “nike outlet” on Google typically search for “air max” on A keyword search for “nike Pegasus 35” on Google end up as “nike” on

Teddy Weahkee (1890-1965) Biography

Masterful Zuni artist Teddy Weahkee was a renowned carver of fetishes as well as a master jeweler and painter of fine art. Teddy received his basic education at the Phoenix Indian School. He then returned to Zuni Pueblo.  After serving in World War II, Teddy began learning silversmithing. Largely self-taught, he became proficient in most jewelry techniques by the early 1920s. He began making jewelry, and sold his work to C.G. Wallace and other traders of the period.

Teddy became interested in fetish carving while participating in an archaeological excavation at the historic Hawikuh Pueblo. Hawikuh means “gum leaves” in Zuni. The pueblo was founded in 1400A.D. It is located 12 miles southwest of the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. It was here that Teddy gained first-hand knowledge of ancient Zuni art forms. This experience influenced his fetish designs which closely resemble historic Zuni forms and human figures. During his time at Hawikuh he also did excavations alongside famous fetish carver Leekya Deyuse. Teddy and Leekya were among the first to carve figures sold to the public.

A prolific artist, Teddy revived mosaic overlay on shells and inlay work on wooden ornaments, and complex designs from Zuni culture. He also created images from Hopi and Plains Indian culture. He was known to use natural, gathered materials in his artwork. Items such as Zuni rock, antlers, and basalt. His fetish bundles often contained turquoise, exotic shells and arrowheads tied on with genuine sinew.

During the 1920s to the 1950s Teddy contributed fine art paintings, oil on canvas, two-dimensional dance figures on deerskin and three-dimensional compositions.

Teddy married Cheyenne bead worker Anna Lefthand. He and his daughter Edna Leki made fetish pots covered in dainty turquoise embellishments.

Teddy also served, for a time, as Governor of Zuni Pueblo.

However, associations between smartphone overuse and visual impairment have not been consistently reported. Objective: The aim of this systematic review is to determine the association between smartphone overuse and visual impairment, including myopia, blurred vision, and poor vision, in children and young adults. Methods: We conducted a systematic search in the Cochrane Library, Pubmed, EMBASE, Web of Science Core Collection, and ScienceDirect since the beginning of the databases to June 2020. Fourteen eligible studies (ten cross-sectional studies and four controlled trials) were identified, which included a total of 27110 subjects with mean ages ranging from 9.5 to 26.0 years. We used a random-effects model in the ten cross-sectional studies (n = 26962) and a fixed-effects model in the four controlled trials (n = 148) to combine odds ratios (OR) and effect sizes (ES). The I2 statistics was used to assess heterogeneity. Results: A pooled OR of 1.05 (95% CI: 0.98, 1.13; p = 0.159) from cross-sectional studies suggests that smartphone overuse is not statistically significantly associated with myopia, poor vision, or blurred vision, however these visual impairments together are more apparent in children (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 0.99, 1.14; p = 0.087) than in young adults (OR = 0.91, 95% CI: 0.57, 1.46; p = 0.707). In all the controlled trials, the smartphone overuse groups showed worse visual function scores compared with the less-use groups. The pooled ES is 0.76 (95% CI: 0.53, 0.99) and statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our results indicate that longer smartphone use may increase the likelihood of ocular symptoms including myopia, asthenopia, and/or ocular surface disease, especially in children. Thus, regulating use time and restricting the prolonged use of smartphones may prevent ocular and visual symptoms. Further research on the patterns of use, with longer follow-up on the longitudinal associations will help inform detailed guidelines and recommendations for smartphone use in children and young adults.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.Funding StatementThe authors did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.Author DeclarationsI confirm all relevant ethical guidelines have been followed, and any necessary IRB and/or ethics committee approvals have been obtained.YesThe details of the IRB/oversight body that provided approval or exemption for the research described are given below:The study is a systematic review and the ethical approval is not applicable.All necessary patient/participant consent has been obtained and the appropriate institutional forms have been archived.YesI understand that all clinical trials and any other prospective interventional studies must be registered with an ICMJE-approved registry, such as ClinicalTrials.gov.

Thanks to dam releases, the Gauley River has some of the best whitewater in the country. The 25-mile river, known as the "Beast of the East," is broken into two sections: the Upper and Lower Gauley. Both have Class III to V rapids, but the Upper Gauley has the larger whitewater and steeper drops (i.e., experience is required). Peak Gauley season is six weekends long, starting after Labor Day, so make sure to get packing.

Breaking News

  • David Raymond Bates

  • David Raymond Bates of Los Gatos pleaded no contest to having sexual relations with girls as young as 13 years old.

  • Sound
    The gallery will resume inseconds

A Los Gatos man who pleaded no contest to 13 charges of having unlawful sexual relations with four girls ages 13 to 15 has been sentenced to three years’ probation, prompting outrage from a parent angered by the sentence.

David Raymond Bates was 19 years old when the crimes occurred between June and August of 2012. Bates is a Los Gatos High School graduate who is listed on the school’s 2010 football roster.

The four girls Bates committed “lewd and lascivious acts upon,” including unlawful sexual intercourse, are identified in the district attorney’s charging document as a 13-year-old, a 14-year-old and two 15-year-olds.

As Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Philip Pennypacker sentenced Bates, one girl’s father yelled, “If he stolen a car, he’d be going to prison. You’re a joke.”

The father was escorted from the courtroom by sheriff’s deputies.

Other parents pleaded with the judge to impose a prison sentence. “The only way to ensure our girls do not have to fear facing this predator on the street is by putting him in prison,” one mother said.

The mother said her daughter’s life is now ruined. “My daughter went off the rails,” she said. “She wouldn’t talk about it for four weeks and she dropped out of school.”

The mother went on to say, “He was working on two other girls when he was arrested. He was watching them at cheerleading practice. The school got a restraining order because parents were complaining about him.”

Another mother said her daughter has become an outcast. “My daughter has become increasingly withdrawn. Once word got out at the high school, she was bullied,” the mother said. “Her grades went from A’s and B’s to D’s and F’s. She was diagnosed with PTSD.”

Then, crying and hands visibly shaking, the mother said, “Keep him in jail until his victims have finished high school.”

Bates has been in jail since his arrest, but Pennypacker gave him credit for time served, making him eligible for immediate release.

Judge Pennypacker outlined his reasons for not keeping Bates in jail longer, citing his lack of a prior criminal record, and overcrowded state prisons and local jails.

He also cited a doctor’s ruling that Bates does not exhibit the tendencies of a pedophile. “This is the type of person who is not predisposed to commit offenses against children,” Pennypacker said. “I agree there was some minor stalking and coercion.”

But the acts against the 13-year-old are considered child molestation and therefore make Bates a three-striker. He is required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life and cannot get within 300 yards of Los Gatos High School or his victims’ homes.

Pennypacker noted that at the time of his arrest Bates had no job and few skills. Even so, he will be required to pay restitution to the families for the mental health and other costs incurred on behalf of their daughters. Bates is not allowed any social media interaction during his probation.

Pennypacker said he will put Bates in prison if he violates the terms of his probation.

Deputy district attorney Clarissa Hamilton said, “He will be watched very, very closely. He is considered a high risk.” She told the parents that if Bates “goes and does something stupid” he will be prosecuted again.

Mink at Danish farm to be culled after catching coronavirus - Metro US

Mink at Danish farm to be culled after catching coronavirus

FILE PHOTO: Cull to prevent the animals from possibly infecting humans with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), in De Mortel

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) – Mink at a farm in Denmark were found to be infected with the new coronavirus and all 11,000 of the animals there will have to be culled, Danish authorities said on Wednesday.

The outbreak is the first in Denmark, the world’s largest producer of mink skins, but comes shortly after the virus was found at 13 mink farms in the Netherlands, where about 570,000 mink have been ordered culled.

“The government has decided, on a precautionary principle, that the infected mink stock will be culled to minimize the risk of potential spread of the disease,” the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration said in a statement.

A spokeswoman told Reuters that around 11,000 mink would be culled.

Mink at the Danish farm were tested after a person associated with the farm tested positive with COVID-19.

The Dutch outbreaks are thought to have originated from human handlers and then spread among the mink.
