As everybody who follows this blog (and one or two others who don’t) know, I was nominated/shortlisted for an ELTon this year. I was delighted when I made the long-list back in November – would have been quite satisfied just to have got that far – then thoroughly wowed when I made the short-list in March.
Tonight, thanks to my lovely Dos and my school director, I was able to attend the awards ceremony, along with my M.A. ELT tutor/”product team”, Heather. Prior to the ceremony, all nominees had been emailed to request that we prepare a speech for just in case we should win the award. Well, suffice to say speech-writing didn’t happen, end-of-term report writing (and a million other things) did – but that’s ok, it wasn’t like I was going to actually win or anything… Except, I did. Miraculously enough, I am now an ELTon winner in the category of Macmillan award for new talent in writing. (Thank you, Macmillan and thank you British Council!)
Apparently I won!
I was so stunned when they announced me as the winner, that I had to be shown the way to get onto the stage. And then, of course, I was presented with the award (which I can vouch is very solid glass, going by the weight – wouldn’t like to drop it on my toes by mistake…) and asked to say a few words. Rabbit in the headlights comes to mind, but nevertheless I duly made a speech of sorts. Which could be summed up in the following sentence: “I was super lucky because I went to IATEFL a couple of years ago, found a flyer in my conference pack and as a result wound up at Leeds Met, where my materials were born” I clean forgot that one is supposed to thank every man and his dog on such occasions – and it’s not like I’m without people to thank. Fortunately, I have a blog, so now I’m going to write the speech I should have said! (Though I think what I said was a good start…)
“I’m standing here (now a figurative here!) tonight because of a flyer. Two years ago, I went to the IATEFL conference in Glasgow and I found a flyer in my bag. It was the flyer for Leeds Metropolitan Uni, where I would go on to do my M.A. in ELT. It wasn’t a decision taken lightly – it was a risk. But sometimes, taking risks pays huge dividends. I didn’t know Leeds Met. I didn’t know that I would find the best tutors (thank you all!) and course-mates (thank you too!) I could ever have hoped to have there. I stepped into the unknown – and got super-lucky. I’m mostly here tonight because I’m lucky…
My biggest thanks has to go to Heather Buchanan, course leader of the M.A. ELT/Delta at Leeds Met, from whom I learnt so much during the materials development module, and who gave me so many hours of her time and so much support throughout the course and especially while I was creating these dissertation materials (and trying to decide how to answer the awkward questions she asked me about them on a regular basis!). Also, for not letting me bin them halfway through the summer when I had decided they were rubbish and I’d be better off starting again! Thank you for everything, Heather. 🙂
Secondly, I must thank Sandy Millin, who I met thanks to Twitter and #ELTchat and who has been a massive source of inspiration to me ever since. If it weren’t for her, my materials would be twice as long as they currently are, as the instructions would all be epically long, rambling nightmares. One weekend, Sandy eventually managed to just about beat the habit of using ten words where three would do out of me, as well showing me a wonderful world of computer shortcuts that made my life (well, using Indesign and MS Word) a lot easier, during a rather trying several months! Thank you so much, Sandy! 🙂
Thirdly, a big thank you is also due to Jane Templeton, one of my course mates at Leeds Met. She had the unenviable task of putting up with my regular whinging about the D-beast. (On the plus side, she got to moan about her assignments to me too, though!) Seriously, though, things are made so much easier by the support of others who know what you’re going through, so you can cuss together over a glass of wine! Thank you, Jane! 🙂
Finally, though they only came into my life after the big project was complete, I want to thank my current employers and colleagues. I work in a fantastic school, with really supportive people around me and that is invaluable. Currently, it is the busiest time of the year at IH Palermo, but my DoS let me attend the ceremony tonight nevertheless and has been so very supportive of me in every way, while my colleagues have, between them, covered the classes I will be missing as a result. Thank you Jonny, Pat and Silvio, and everybody else at IH Palermo. I’m very glad to be going back for another contract after the summer!
I’m also here because my Grandad left me some money when he died, and it was that money that I used to pay for my course at Leeds Met. He was an amazing man, who lived an amazing life and I wish he were able to see what a difference he’s made to my life. My M.A. ELT/Delta year was life-changing in so many ways. And this ELTon award is one of the wonderful outcomes of it.
I’m delighted to accept the award (yep, still delighted!) and (still pretty much as) stunned (as I was when I stumbled onto the stage this evening). Thank you everybody.” Fortunately I hadn’t prepared a speech so the audience didn’t have to sit through this when I was unleashed on the microphone. 😉
It’s been a crazy journey getting to this point, and I look forward with interest to the next stage. Meanwhile, it was a brilliant experience being at the ELTons ceremony tonight, albeit rather surreal for a little nobody like me! 🙂 My warmest congratulations to all the other winners in all the other categories!
And now, 20hrs after I woke up in Palermo this morning, goodnight world! 🙂

Congratulations, I was there last night and the short speech was a mercy compared with some…Looking forward to seeing what happens next for you as well as this is one that is particularly interesting given the nature of the publishing industry in ELT.

Congratulations Lizzie! And thank you so much for the kind words – it was a pleasure to be able to help you out, because you’ve helped me with so many things too. It’s this amazing support network which makes the online community so valuable. I’m very glad I met you, because you keep inspiring me to be a better teacher too.
Please note: you are not a ‘little nobody’ at all! And you definitely can’t say that again with an ELTon to your name 😉
Looking forward to seeing where your ELT journey takes you!
Sandy

Thank you, Sandy 🙂 I agree, it *is* an amazing network and a valuable community. I think it must be very healthy to keep inspiring one another, long may it continue! …”an ELTon to your name” – still seems surreal! 🙂
And I look forward to seeing where *your* journey takes *you* too!

Belated congratulations, Lizzie. I know I posted on your FB wall but thought I would leave a comment here as I have only just got round to watching the awards ceremony. I didn’t realise until today that you actually attended, as I thought you might have to stay in Palermo. Well done again, and, all being well, I will see you in Sheffield!

Great for Travel
I purchased this money fanny pack with RFID blocking capabilities to conceal my passport, cards, and money in an easy to access area.
Toss in a few other necessities (band aids, coins, etc) for good measure.
This product should be one of the top purchased items from SP because of the price point and everyone's need for concealment / personal security.
I highly recommend this product in addition to their cell phone / media device faraday bags.

The best option i've found for traveling. I had an older money belt and loved the function, but wanted one with a bit more security. The RFID shielding and great construction is everything I could have asked for and more!

This roasted cauliflower and broccoli soup will help you welcome the cooler temperatures. Who doesn’t love a good soup?!
Cauliflower and broccoli have a deep flavor after roasting that they simple miss when you steam them. The high heat of the oven takes away the bitter taste that some people hate and makes these vegetables sweeter.
If I serve raw cauliflower and broccoli - everyone complains. If I roast those same vegetables - they disappear. They are totally different animals.
I have featured both
oven roasted cauliflower and roasted broccoli - and these are the precursors to this fantastic soup.
Put the vegetables on a rimmed baking sheet (the parchment paper is there to make it easy to pick up the vegetables and clean the sheet). You roast at 450F for 20 minutes.
The roasting is the actual cooking of the soup in this recipe.
I puree 1/2 of the cauliflower and broccoli in a blender to make “cream” and add a little half and half to make the soup really creamy. This way you cut calories without noticing (my favorite way).
The half and half is a flavoring agent because people love “Cream of SOMETHING Soup”. Can you blame them? This soup is so low in fat and calories that the cream is no big deal. Obviously, if you are eating beer cheese soup it is a whole other ball game.
You don’t have to add the half and half if you want to turn this soup into a vegan one.
When you add the cream, it changes if it will freeze well. If you want to make a big batch for the freezer, leave out the cream until you heat it back up for consumption.
Feel free to substitute for the cream with soy milk or whatever kind of nut milk you have on hand.
Have you tried making roasted cauliflower and broccoli soup? How do you make it?

I really enjoy soup all year round. Creamy textured soups are the best. A vegetarian restaurant I've gone to for years has the best soups - all kinds. Squash, dal, African peanut - all sorts of vegetables. Inspired to make similar soups at home, an immersion blender has become my best friend! Thanks for this recipe to add to my rotation, and also for the tip to leave the cream out if freezing for later.

Power Personified ‘ With Massive Arms
Power Personified ‘ With Massive Arms
Remember when you were in High School. So many characters and personalities. Big guys, big mouths, funny guys, funny gals and many many more one of a kind kids. Here’s one I think you’ll relate to. My first impression of Gillie was as 12 year old. He was so immense. I remember thinking that I did not want to be hit by him. If I had Gillie on my team I knew I had an edge. A powerful advantage. Gillie was the Paul Bunyon of my neighborhood. He had 20-22 biceps, and a neck almost as round. Weighing 220 pounds, he stood six feet one inch and had no fat on his body. Not an ounce of blubber. I had never seen any one like him in my life. He ambled when he walked. The kind of walk someone has when they know they have nothing to fear. His nickname was Mr Clean. He looked a lot like the cleaning icon. Except Gillie had no earring. On the baseball diamond, Gillie was awesome. His fungo shots to the outfielders in pre game warm-ups touched parts of the sky usually reserved for small engine planes. He scared the other team. He looked like Mickey Mantle, Harmon Killabrew and Ted Kluzewski all rolled into one. Smacking a softball was where Gillie excelled. His shots were legendary. He was one of a handful that hit the ball over the right field fence. The fence was 270 ‘ 280 feet away and climbed 40 feet high. He was the only person I ever saw that hit a ball that soared over that fence onto Goldsmith Avenue. His hits seemed to gain height as they cleared the fence. For me, Gillie always represented strength, dedication and just being a real good guy. He never used his size and strength to put others down. It was his way of building himself up. Whether he batted right handed or lefty you would always see the outfield back up and the infield shift to much deeper positions. Feel free to pass this on to anyone you think would enjoy reading about baseball. Power Personified ‘ With Massive Arms

Matt Hasselbeck 1998 Draft Day Pick
Matt Hasselbeck was born on September 25, 1975 in Westwood, Massachusetts. At 6 foot 4 inches and weighing 220 pounds, Hasselbeck is the perfect size for a top notch NFL quarterback. To go along with his size, he also has one of the smartest minds when it comes to quarterbacks. When you combine these two things it is easy to see why Hasselbeck has become one of the top players in the league. But although he is achieving a high level of success right now, things were not always this easy for him. After a successful career at Xaverian Brothers High School, Hasselbeck decided to take his game to Boston College. While at Boston College he had a good career, but nothing that blew NFL scouts away. But all along Hasselbeck was working harder than ever before to get ready for the next level. In the 1998 NFL Draft the Green Bay Packers drafted Hasselbeck in the sixth round. Even though 186 other players were chosen before him, Hasselbeck was simply happy to get a chance to compete in the NFL. In 2001 Hasselbeck got his big break when the Packers traded him to the Seattle Seahawks. During his time with the Seahawks he has set many individual records, and has also led the team back to the top of the NFC. In 2003, Hasselbeck became the teams all time highest rated passer. For his career Hasselbeck has completed 1,342 passes for nearly 16,000 yards. This is in addition to 96 touchdowns, and only 57 interceptions. He is currently in the top 10 for the best all time passer rating in the NFL. Matt Hasselbeck has had a tough road to NFL stardom, and now that he is there he is showing everybody what they passed up along the way. It is safe to say that when Hasselbeck’s career is over that he will be remembered as one of the best quarterbacks of his time. Matt Hasselbeck 1998 Draft Day Pick
Bass Fishing – Bigger The Knowledge The BIGGER The FISH
Why is it so important to have more knowledge under your belt when bass fishing, simple, more fish? Is your catch of bass becoming less on every fishing trip, did you ever wonder that the bait you are using is not to the fishes liking or could it be your choice of location to catch a whopper be the wrong speck. If just starting out to join in the fun of bass fishing then it is important that you fully understand the needs on how to bait. Which bait to use – where are the best locations for bass fishing. The bigger your knowledge the bigger the fish. Bass Fishing is practised by anglers who claim a sense of satisfaction when the fish start to bite. To become successful in this type of venture then you have to consider two things, the understanding of how to locate bass and to learn all there is to know about different techniques, presentations, and baits. All this information can be found in fishing manuals. Collect as much knowledge as you can from other anglers who are more familiar with the sport. Just to know how to read a map will be beneficial when locating bass, the most practical places to search for lively Bass is after cold fronts and early spring. Weather conditions can either hamper or go in your favour when fishing for bass. If you are familiar with your waters then this will help a great deal in locating the best place to cast your rod. Water depth and temperature is a vital element that you need to be aware of because the depth or hollowness of the water will decipher if this part of the river – stream is where the bass are biting. A consistent bass angler does more than just jump in his/her boat and cast bait. That is why fishing tournaments are so popular -competitive and fulfilling to all who take part in these contests. There is much more than meets the eye behind this sport. Lake maps, what are they you ask, well there are two types; most anglers refer to them as the Hot Spot map and the Topographical. These route finders are different; the Topo outlines more in detail where as the Hot Spot map displays the best fishing locations. Vegetation areas – Irregular contours -Shallow water close to deep water areas – Points and point drops are main issues to look for when it comes to locating bass on any given waters. To become as popular as the sport it self then, you have to think like the fish. I know this may sound insane, but you have to choose a quiet part of the stream or lake away from jet skis, kiddies paddling or playful dogs when fishing for bass. Any excitement may upset the apple cart. If you were the fish would you stick around with all the commotion above water? Bass Fishing – Bigger The Knowledge The BIGGER The FISH
Lay2lose Review – Good Or Bad?
After having the unique opportunity to see the software in action, I decided to write this Lay2Lose review to share my experiences. We all know there’s a ton of money to be made ‘laying horses’ on betting exchanges, but can this product really get you a piece of the action? This is the main question I had in mind as I approached Lay2Lose, and in this short review I will answer it for you. There seem to be a lot of ‘experts’ out there in the world of horse racing who claim to have all of the tips and secrets that can make you rich. Rarely do they ever really work. This is the mentality I approached Lay2Lose with, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with what I found as I looked into the software. First, the whole program is extremely straight forward. When they you don’t need any experience in betting on horse races, they aren’t kidding. When they say you don’t need to spend a lot of time working on the system, they are serious. Literally, with Lay2Lose you only need a minute a day to set up. Everything is completely automated, so as long as your computer is on it’s working for you. Lay2Lose will automatically choose losing horses for you (hint for the inexperienced: this program makes you money by betting against horses it thinks will lose) and you can set up parameters so you’ll never bet on a horse that can lose you more money than you’re willing to gamble. The program works so well, you can even try it before you buy it! That’s confidence if I’ve ever seen it. To say I highly recommend Lay2Lose would be an understatement. I think it’s the best software program out there. It’s compatible with Windows, so if you’ve got a PC it can work for you. Lay2lose Review – Good Or Bad?
Throwback Jerseys
America’s national pastime – baseball. Way back when, baseball was a gentlemen game, and the players were devoted to it. They were paid very little money and even less attention. Today, of course, people who love baseball have had their illusions shattered with controversy over steroid use, home run records, and so many other scandals. But if you really and truly just love the game of baseball and miss the days when it was pure sport, what to do? The answer is simple – proudly wear a classic throwback baseball jersey. These great items celebrate the sport back when it was just that – a sport. When the players earned their records through practice and skill, and maybe just a bit of luck, but not with “juicing” and other dangerous shortcuts. Wearing a throwback baseball jersey is a great way to honor the legacies of the sport and to show that you will never give up on the game, no matter who tries to taint it. If you’re going to choose a throwback baseball jersey for yourself or as a gift, start by considering their hometown or favorite team. Are they from Chicago? Then of course you’ll get the Cubs. If it’s New York, are they Yankees or Mets fans? A throwback baseball jersey is a personal statement, so be sure you know exactly which team or player they’ll be rooting for – a Yankees fan wearing a Mets jersey is going to get a lot of strange looks at the sports bar! Maybe you’re not sure which team or which player you want to honor with a throwback baseball jersey. Do not fret, there are many that are made up that are not any one particular team but that closely resemble uniforms of days past. No matter which you will choose, you’ll be proud to show off your genuine love for a genuine game with your own throwback baseball jersey. Throwback Jerseys
Clinton Portis : 2002 Draft Day Picks
Clinton Portis was born on September 1, 1981 in Laurel Mississippi. Portis is considered to be one of the best running backs in the game today, and this has held true ever since he was playing high school football. With size, athleticism, and speed it is easy to see why Portis racks up hundreds of yards year in and year out. After a successful high school career Portis had the ability to play college football at almost any school in the entire country. He decided to take his game to the University of Miami where he starred from his very first day on campus. In fact, Portis was the first true freshman to start at running back for the Hurricanes since 1975. Despite a solid college career, Portis was not one of the top ranked players in the 2002 NFL Draft. This led to him being selected with the 51st overall pick by the Denver Broncos. While he may not have been drafted as highly as some other running backs, Portis showed all the teams that passed him by that they made a mistake. After a successful rookie season he was named Offensive Rookie of the Year by the NFL. In both of his first two seasons he rushed for more than 1,500 yards. Before the start of the 2004 season Portis was traded to the Washington Redskins. At that time the Redskins signed him to an 8 year contract worth more than $50 million. Although his game fell off a bit during his first season with the Redskins, he still managed to rush for 1,315 yards. In 2005 Portis was fully back on track, and rushed for 1,516 yards. With this accomplishment he became one of only three players in NFL history to rush for more than 1,500 yards in three of his first four seasons in the league. While Portis was primed to have a big year in 2006, injuries slowed him down most of the way and eventually sidelined him in November. Clinton Portis : 2002 Draft Day Picks
Patriotism is a Feeling Standing out in the World Baseball Classic
Dontrelle Willis is quite a professional baseball player; he has participated in the World Series, pitched in an All-Star Game and nearly won a Cy Young Award in his brief but brilliant career. But, he has still never played for his country, but that comes to an end when the Marlins pitcher will play with Team USA take the field against Mexico in a first-round game of the inaugural World Baseball Classic in Phoenix. Playing for your country means a lot more than just playing. You have to play hard; you have to make the people feel proud that is why patriotism takes up on this World Baseball Classic event. Miguel Cabrera is another example of an MLB player who will be experiencing some of these feelings playing for his country, Venezuela, in its WBC debut this afternoon wondering what it would be to lead his home. For all that patriotism, though, Cuba is one of the teams that is compromised to make a good show. Their history of three-time Olympic championships and 25-time World Cup wins clearly makes them the best amateur team, but they have never played a team of top professionals aside from a pair of exhibitions against the Baltimore Orioles seven years ago.

Top Golf Tips For Beating The Bunker
When a golfer ends up in the bunker, you can usually hear swearing all the way to the clubhouse. It’s not that they are bad; it’s just that they feel bunkers can defeat them. There are a few hidden tips that not many people have caught onto yet. Here are a few hidden bunker busters that will make you wish that you knew this before you hit your first bunker. Your first step is to imagine that the bunker is not your worst enemy. If you think the bunker is your worst enemy, you will fear them and this will have an adverse effect on your game. So next time you land in one, don’t just give up, hit the ball, and hope. That will get you nowhere. You will just end up taking another bunker shot; and the scorecard will increase with every shot you take. Another important thing to keep in mind is your footing. Many people will simply allow their feet and legs to adjust to the sand. That is not the best thing to do; make the sand work for you by taking the time to establish your footing. The next thing you should do is take a open stance and get relaxed. If you are comfortable on the tee, then why can’t you be comfortable in the bunker? After this, you will need to distribute your weight in a effective manner; usually more to the left-hand side is the best way to go when you are trapped in a bunker. Now practice your motion. When swinging the club, move the same distance backwards as you do forward. Learn it and remember it: the shot in the bunker will always be tricky. You should now prepare for the shot, but remember to hit the sand roughly two inches before the ball. This creates a scoop effect that will allow the ball to be played out of the rough instead of rolling straight into the same bunker. You should also accelerate through the ball. This allows for more power in the shot and will give the ball that little bit of extra distance towards the hole. Always remember that the sand is your ally, not your enemy. Don’t fear the bunker and you will constantly surprise yourself with the one-shot bunker trick. Top Golf Tips For Beating The Bunker
Golf Specific Weight Training…Don’t Fear It
Golf specific weight training. The fascinating thing about golf-specific weight training is that despite the fear many golfers have of it, there is really nothing to be afraid of. Why should there be any reason for fear when 80 year old persons are comfortably going through them. And what’s more is these elderly persons have quite often hailed the weight training as being responsible for the dramatic improvement in their game as well as the easing of nagging pains that usually do not respond to medication like back pains. Junior golfers are also enthusiastically embracing golf specific weight training with similar results. Some of these kids are barely in their teens. But what has been even more amazing is the impact that the golf specific weight training has had on their golf game. Many have been able to increase the distance of their drives by yards that are in the higher levels of a double digit figure. Still this has not prevented golf specific weight training from being greatly feared amongst many golfers who have various excuses not to touch exercise. There are those who claim that weight training will give them bulging muscles and make them stiff when it is common knowledge that flexibility is very important in golf. For these golfers, the mere mention of dumb bells sends shivers down their spines as they picture themselves struggling with heavy weights in some gym somewhere. Nothing could be further from the truth. Golf specific weight training really involves strength training and not body building. As a result it involves the use of lifting lighter weights more repetitively. The sort of light weights that teenagers and senior citizens alike do not have any problem handling. Whether you dread it or not, the facts are that golf specific weight training is extremely important for any golfer. Golf Specific Weight Training…Don’t Fear It

If the player keeps there pile neat, 9 times out of 10 that is a tight player. This means that they will not bluff often and you have to expect that they call with strong hands. If they have a messy pile of chips, you know that they that is a loose player and you can be sure that they will be bluffing and playing rambunctiously. 2. The way a player places the chips from his stack to the pot is a sure tell. If the player throws his chips in nervously, they spill over, and he cleans them up he is bluffing. The fact that he cleans them up means that he is trying to cover it up. He wants to make sure you wont call so that he can win the pot.

Police Flashlights: Tactical Light Used By Professionals
Ever since the concept was first introduced in or around the 1930’s, the use of tactical flashlights to aid the police and military in identifying targets before firing has saved countless lives and made the jobs of soldiers and officers much easier. Though now commonplace, when the use of these lights was first introduced it was a major tactical innovation. In the years since, tactical lighting has evolved greatly and now a variety of bulb, battery, and case technologies allow for one-handed or hands-free lighting in a number of greatly differing tactical situations. Police Use The original innovators of the tactical flashlight were police departments who needed an easy way to correctly identify suspects in low-light situations while still being able to fire a gun if necessary. Specialized tactical flashlights were developed that could easily be held along with a firearm, allowing officers to see clearly whatever the gun was pointed at. As tactical gear has improved over the years so have these lights; the majority of police-issue tactical flashlights make use of LED’s to allow them an unprecedented bulb life with minimal battery usage, while using custom-designed cases which are resilient against damage and that can be physically attached to the gun itself so as to allow the officer to either have a free hand or to use both hands on the firearm. Military Use Much like the police force, the military has a great need for specialized tactical lighting that won’t interfere with a soldier’s duties. Military tactical flashlights can come in a variety of styles, some of which are similar to those which are used by police officers while others are designed with specific uses in mind. Many military tactical flashlights can be attached to clothing instead of firearms, allowing soldiers a wider view of the area while keeping their hands free to handle their gun or other weapons. Most of these lights will have specialized filters or in some cases specialized bulbs which will allow them to illuminate an area for night vision or infrared goggles without giving away their position by the bright light. Sportsmen and Other Outdoorsmen Tactical flashlights and similar tactical gear aren’t just used by soldiers and police officers, of course. Many hunters, sportsmen, and other outdoorsmen will make use of this same equipment when hunting early in the mornings, letting them maneuver through wooded areas without having to carry a larger flashlight or lantern. This can be especially useful when setting up a deer stand or establishing a hunting location in low-light situations, as they will be able to have their hands free to work while still ensuring that they have enough light to see what they are doing. A number of these dedicated sportsmen will use light filters or specialized bulbs similar to those which are used by soldiers to keep from spooking wildlife; the light is changed to a shade which won’t be noticeable by deer or other animals that they may be hunting. These tactical lights can also help to prevent potential legal problems that could be caused by larger lights, as their smaller size makes them nearly impossible to use for illegally spotlighting game in order to stun it. ~ Ben Anton, 2008 Police Flashlights: Tactical Light Used By Professionals
Is Airsoft Better Than Paintball?
This question is bound to stir debate and controversy amongst the most ardent of airsoft or paintball fans. Both airsoft and paintball are both hobbies based on replica firearms and wargames. Is this unhealthy? That depends moreso on the person themselves rather than the hobby. An interest in pursuing a hobby that involves weaponry only becomes unhealthy if taken to extremes – which is true of most things in life. Paintball and airsoft are not morbid hobbies and only run the risk of being dangerous when participated in by dangerous people. Paintball itself is a more mobile sport. It requires a certain level of physical fitness, mobility and skill – if you paintball then you gotta be able to move fast. The weapons themselves are functional and are only designed to serve the purpose of the sport as opposed to looking good. Paintball rifles are designed to take a real beating when it comes to their use. Paintball fans fall into the ‘extreme sport’ category and enjoy the pure adrenaline of each paintball match and are driven by the desire to win. Airsoft is a somewhat different sport. The guns used in airsoft are both conversation pieces and are also functional sports ‘weapons’. Airsoft rifles and pistols are capable of firing both small plastic pellets and paint filled pellets so are useful both in the sport itself and also for backyard target practice. The major difference is the power of the guns themselves. Paintball guns are driven by high powered gas cylinders whereas airsoft guns fire projectiles either through springs, electronic firing mechanisms or with compressed gas. The issue is that most airsoft guns lack the range and accuracy of the larger paintball guns simply because they were never designed with long range fire in mind. Conversely airsoft guns are available in a huge range of styles and models. Everything from a Glock handgun to a sniper rifle to a CAR15 assault rifle. Airsoft guns are equally at home hanging in your livingroom or at use on the airsoft playing field. You can even go as far as buying an airsoft minigun. Many airsoft fans simply collect the guns and never get involved in airsoft wargames at all. This is the much the same as many sword collectors – they display the weapons at home but don’t go running around waving them at people. The truth is that neither airsoft nor paintball is superior. They’re both a case of personal preference. If you’re the extreme sports type then paintball will suit you more. If you’re more of a collector then airsoft will be more you thing. Regardless of whether you’re a paintball fan or an airsoft fan it’s essential to take proper safety precautions when using these guns. Proper eye protection in the form of safety goggles should always be worn and suitable protective clothing to cover your neck and upper torso should also be worn. Even though some people see these as guns as toys they are capable of causing injury either through accident or even deliberate malice. Is Airsoft Better Than Paintball?
A Horse Racing Certainty
I have been gambling since around the age of sixteen. I see it as a bit of a hobby and really enjoy playing poker and bragg. I go to the casino as often as I can and also love to go to the horse racing and to the greyhounds. This article is a story about when I lost a lot of money on a horse which was supposed to be a racing certainty. As well as gambling, I love to have a few beers. It was during one of my nights out drinking when I met an old school friend. His name was John and we had not seen each other for around fifteen years. The conversation soon turned to talking about various forms of gambling and we realised that we had very similar interests. John told me about some of his more profitable days and I responded by talking about some of mine. I must say his seemed far more impressive than what I had ever won. John then told me that he was very good friends with a local trainer and that he had some information that I might be interested in. This night was becoming more interesting by the hour and I enquired as to what type of information he had. He started talking about a horse which the trainer and its connections thought could not lose. The horse was going to run in ten days time and was of a far higher class than what the other horses in the race would be. The trainer wanted the horse to have an easy victory so that it would gain some confidence from the race. I told quite a lot of people about this horse over the next few days, this was to be a big mistake, a mistake I will not be repeating in the future. The big race day arrived and I was very excited. I will not tell you how much I placed on the horse but lets just say it was a lot of money. The odds were five to one and I believed that this was going to be the easiest money I would have ever obtained. The race in question was a three mile hurdle and with only three fences to go the horse was cruising. It was challenging the long term leader who was fading and being strongly ridden. Approaching the second to last fence the horse took the lead but disaster was to strike, yes it fell at this fence. I could not believe it, the horse would have won if only it could have jumped those last two fences. These are my horse racing tips, beware there is no such thing as a racing certainty and only gamble what you can afford to lose. Gambling can be lots of fun and you can have some great days and nights out, I now treat it like a hobby and have decreased the amount I bet as I now have a family to support.

If you take a look at the market, you’ll be instantly overwhelmed. There are many models, styles and various price ranges. How in the world will you choose? Here are some tips for buying the kayak or the canoe that you want to own. Tip One: What will you do with the kayak or the canoe? Your first need to address is the type of water you’ll be on. For example, if you want to take the rapids, you’ll need a much stronger kayak and canoe than if you plan to just enjoy touring. You have four choices to choose from. They are recreational, touring, whitewater and downriver versions. Tip Two: Know your length and width. You’ll get easier paddling, more stability and heavier load capability from a longer kayak. On the other hand, you get lighter, less expensiveness and easier transport from a shorter kayak. In width, you’ll want a wider option whenever possible as this makes it much more stable. Tip Three: The hull is also an important measure. Those that have hulls with flat bottoms, hard chines and greater flare are better for stability than those with round hulls. Yet, round hulls are also more nimble and easier to roll if they do tip over. So, what does all of this mean when you are looking to buy a kayak or a canoe? The fact is that you need to consider each of these things as they apply to the type of activity you plan to do. Of course, you should also consider the budget that you have. If you are new to the sport, you may be tempted to purchase something brand new, but it may be wise to go low end and even used to insure that you do enjoy the sport. The good news is that when you are out to buy a kayak or a canoe, the best thing that you can do is shop online to get the best price overall. 3 Tips For Buying A Kayak Or A Canoe
Introduction To Hunting.
Hunting is an increasingly popular pastime for the whole family. With growing numbers of women taking up the sport, the opportunity to create special memories with the whole family in the outdoors is better now than ever before. And whether youre an experienced hunter, have been on a couple of duck or deer hunts or are just getting started, there are plenty of questions that need answering along the way. Most of these are questions you end up musing over for a long time and never bother asking anyone. After all, these folks have been here before and asking what the draw weight of a bow for hunting elk is will mark you out as an inexperienced dullard. But fear not there are no stupid questions, and the best way to learn about hunting is to experience it. The key to success in many areas of life is proper preparation. Hunting is an excellent example of this. Regardless of your experience level, being adequately prepared for the hunt will give you a distinct edge over other hunters in the area and can make all the difference between success and failure. Of course, if youve planned your hunt to the nth degree, theres still every chance you wont bring home a kill. The most important thing to understand is that hunting is much more than running around the wilderness slaughtering animals. Its an experience one that generations of hunters around the world have learned, taught and shared with their friends and family across time. And the benefits each individual takes away from that experience vary just as much as the people who hunt. There is plenty of wild life out there, as anyone whos ever set foot into the less built-up areas of the world knows. And across North America, you can bet that plenty of people are making plans to hunt at least one thing in their local area in the coming seasons. Commonly hunted animals include the deer and elk, while more exotic species like bear, prong horn and sheep are also hunted in some areas. Introduction To Hunting.
‘Fishing Kit Basics’
Before going deeper into the technicalities, make sure that a fishing license is secured. To be an amateur fisherman there are basic pieces of fishing equipment needed to complete your exciting journey in the fishing world. Knowing the line type and matching the right rod and reel to the fishing technique is just basic common sense. Match these tools appropriately and expect a more enjoyable experience for a more comfortable fishing. There are several things that causes the reel to turn into a bird’s nest, don’t worry, even experienced fishermen encounter this every now and then. The main objective is to match the rod, the reel, the line and the lure. These will only cost a newbie around $25 to $40 and they could last for years. The 3 main issues when shopping for a rod are: Guides that are attached to the rod; Grip or handle holds the rod and could come in either cork or foam. They come in different lengths so the comfort to the user must be considered; and the reel seat where the reel is connected. Dealers make a lot of fishing rods that could either be single or consist of two or more pieces when assembled. The connection is very simple; just connect the male and female ends together to make sure the guides are lined up. This would only last for a minutes. Sometimes, lubricants are needed. When shopping for a rod, slightly bend it to get the feel of it. Again comfort should be considered when using the equipment. Rods of any type will work. It should be around 6′ long and medium weight. Even a long stick will work. This should be long, straight and flexible so it will not easily break. The most popular rod is Graphite because it is so light yet so strong. Wispy rods should be up to 4m long to be used for long casts in moderate winds. There are a lot of fishing lines to choose from and it can be very confusing to find the best. It is mostly made of nylon and “monofilament” that comes in spools of different lengths that are called Tests. The larger the fishing line the thicker it is in diameter. Find a piece of a 4lb. or 4 lb. Test that is almost 10′ long for the basic rig. The basic rule is that all the gears should match. To summarize your fishing kit, it should include other stuff as well: net, stringer, line clippers, fishing knife, first aid box, a pail of bait, sunglasses, fishing hat, and talking about the basics, don’t forget your SNACKS! ‘Fishing Kit Basics’
General Horses Info
Horse info provides some interesting facts about horses in general. Horses being herd animals are known to follow their herd leader for food and safety. This capability of a horse allows a human rider to act like a herd leader and make the horse learn and follow instructions. It takes a good amount of training with proper positive and negative inducements to make a horse compliant and easy to ride. Since ancient times horse has always been a domestic animal. Being of domestic help, the training methods also date back to ancient times. This applies to horse breeding as well. A herd of horses consists of a number of female horses (mares) and immature horses with just a few males (stallions.) The leader mare is called alpha mare. Horse Gaits In general, a horse can walk with four different types of gaits: walk, trot, canter, and gallop. A horse walk is very simple. He flags on one of his four legs in the air at any give time. Horses are trained to walk on subtle cues like squeezing the sides or releasing and pulling up the reins. A horse trot or jog results when his foreleg and the opposite hind leg simultaneously touch the ground. There are different ways a horse might trot. Example: sitting or a posting trot. Canter or lope is a three beat gait in which his foreleg and the opposite hind leg simultaneously hit the ground, but the other two legs work in isolation with each other. A galloping horse uses two paired legs to propel itself with full speed. Example: the way a horse runs in races. Thoroughbred Horses The thoroughbred horse breed came into existence in the 18th century in England. It was the time when mares were crossbred with imported Arabian stallions. The breed that came into existence with this experiment is well known for its distance running abilities and used in races. General Horses Info
Intro to Airsoft
Airsoft is a military/law enforcement sport simulation, where players participate in a mock style combat with military like weapons and tactics. Firearms are 1:1 scale models of real firearms. A typical example of an airsoft firearm is: firing 6mm or 8mm spherical, solid plastic BBs of usually .12, .20, or .25 grams, with propulsion for the projectile provided by manually compressed springs, compressed gas, or electric motors. Airsoft as a sport is extremely popular in eastern Asia, in Japan, China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. This popularity is a result of real arms being difficult or impossible to obtain because of local laws. For this and other reasons the vast majority of Airsoft guns accessories, and aftermarket upgrade parts are made in Japan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Korea. For a while it was rumored that Airsoft was made illegal in Mainland China. That is just a rumor though as it is actually very legal and extremely popular. The popularity of Airsoft is starting to grow in the West. Especially in countries like the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Finland, Italy, Belgium and Denmark. Starting in 2003 Daisy once again started marketing airsoft guns for sale in the US, under their “Powerstrike” brand name. Trying to get in on the expanding market, Powerstrike and other competing models have started to appear in mass across the US. The Internet auction site, eBay, has noticed the increased interest in airsoft products as well, and as a result has created several categories specifically for the thousands of listings of airsoft gear and guns.

Online Golf Lessons Save Time And Can Be A Great Help
Online golf lessons have grown tremendously in popularity, for the simple reason that they address a problem faced by most golfers. The problem is that of finding the time away from their golf game to take golf lessons. Not everybody is a professional with all the time between tourneys to brush up on their skills. Most golfers are amateurs who have to take care of business elsewhere in-between their precious moments on the course. Online golf lessons have proved to be the ideal answer. One of the positive results of online golf lessons is that they have inspired many a golfer to take positive and deliberate steps to improve their game. One of the key advantages that the online golf lesson has going for it is that it is easy to use visuals and diagrams to illustrate and clearly explain many key points. For example posture in the setup stage before the golf swing is easy to illustrate and show in an online golf lesson. One of the things that comes out from many of these online golf lessons is that posture and a lot of the factors that are vital to playing good golf are only possible when a golfer makes a decision to take action. One of the vital actions is to start getting involved in exercise and the conditioning of various parts of the body so as to be able to make an enormous improvement on their golf game. Although golf-specific exercise and conditioning is not as rigorous as some people may make them out to be (some 80 year olds are doing them without any problem) getting an amateur golfer to take the positive step of embarking on them is not easy. It requires lots of inspiration and online golf lessons have helped plenty towards this goal. Online Golf Lessons Save Time And Can Be A Great Help

Food delivery apps have been a big deal this year both for consumers stuck at home and unable (or unwilling) to go to restaurants or grocery stores, and for investors who are eyeing the opportunity to back rising stars to help them grow.
Today came the latest development in that story: HungryPanda, which makes a Mandarin-language app specifically targeting Chinese consumers outside of China, has raised $70 million to continue its global expansion in delivering food from Chinese restaurants and Asian grocery stores targeting the Chinese diaspora.
Estimates put the number of Chinese people living abroad (counting students and first-generation immigrants, and counting those living outside of the Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau) at around 50 million, with most of them concentrated in other Asian countries, so that is a specific target for the startup. Longer term, there are tens of millions more people if you consider second, third and further generations of people, although that will likely see big changes to the app, including introducing other languages.
The funding comes on the back of a surge of usage of HungryPanda. It is now live in 47 cities (versus 31 in February of this year) across Australia, Canada, France, New Zealand, and the U.K. — the country where it was founded. Growing some 30-fold in the last three years, HungryPanda’s CEO and founder Eric Liu said in an interview that it is already profitable in its earliest markets in the U.K., as well as in New York City, and is safely en route to getting into the black in other locations, too.
The Series C is being led by Kinnevik (a prolific backer of e-commerce startups), with participation also from 83North and Felix Capital (which backed HungryPanda in its last round of $20 million earlier this year), as well as Piton Capital and Burda Principal Investment.
HungryPanda, a food delivery app for Chinese communities, raises $20 million
HungryPanda is not disclosing its valuation right now, but it’s notable that most of its four-year life has been spent bootstrapped — it has raised only $90 million to date, all of it this year.
Food apps have come into their own in 2020. Already popular with consumers who like the convenience of using a phone or website to browse and order food to be brought to their door during the COVID-19 pandemic, many services were stretched to capacity in cities where people were being ordered to shelter in place and restaurants were closed.
E-marketer estimates that in the U.S. alone, usage went up by more than 25%. It all still came at a cost, though. For example, the increased measures that needed to be taken to ensure social distancing meant higher costs for the companies, which are often already stretched in their unit economics.
In that sea of apps, however, you might be hard-pressed to distinguish one from another. At one point in the U.K., for example, even the delivery bags and logos of two big rivals, Deliveroo and Uber Eats, looked the same.
HungryPanda is a very different bird compared to these. For starters, the whole app is in Mandarin. And it focuses primarily (in most cases, only) on Chinese food. If you want pizza or a burger, or if you want to read the menu in English, go somewhere else.
The app was founded four years ago by Liu, who was an international student in computer science at the University of Nottingham. Coming over from China, even though there are indeed a number of Chinese restaurants in the city, he and other Chinese students found it nearly impossible to order from them.
The reasons? All of the menus were in English, and the names of dishes, as they were translated, had no meaning for them; and in any case, they were all essentially filtered and altered for local (read: British) palates. This was a bigger deal than it might be for some: Chinese people prefer to eat “traditional” food, said Liu, and they take the business of eating very seriously.
His solution was to build an app that provided all the information to students like him in a format that they could actually use, including items that typically might only be offered on side menus to Chinese customers in Mandarin, if at all.
What’s interesting is that while food delivery unit economics can be very challenging in a sprawling city, the same does not apply typically to HungryPanda. Typically, at a company like Deliveroo, the rule of thumb has been to be slightly above two deliveries per hour per driver to make that hour profitable. That is not always possible, however, in the real world. (And that’s before counting all of the other costs around marketing, and so on.)
HungryPanda, however, was delivering to students who were in dormitories, and often ordering in groups to eat “family style”. It meant that HungryPanda was mitigating a lot of the typical unit economics, said Antoine Nussenbaum, the co-founder of Felix Capital.
“This made the efficiency of delivering much higher,” he added.
The same has gone for grocery delivery. Panwen Chen, the global VP of strategy and an early employee of the company, was also a student at Nottingham and said, considering that even students don’t want to eat out all the time, getting groceries was next to impossible for him and others like him.
“I didn’t have a car, and so getting to the Chinese grocery in Nottingham meant taking two buses or a 50-60 minute walk,” he said. “Before you know it, you’re struggling with very heavy bags of groceries. It’s not a nice experience. We then started working with groceries, and what we found was that with food delivery we already had the infrastructure, so it was a natural extension of what we do, especially since the community was the same. That helped us to understand also what they wanted.”
He added that takeaway ready-made food is still a majority of the startup’s business, both growing very fast.
Loading in one function, and then two, into the app sets up HungryPanda for how it might grow further in the future. Asia has been a pioneer on that front, with apps like WeChat, and more specifically those focused around delivery services like Grab, really carving out a place for themselves as “super apps,” providing users with a vast array of services beyond the core, original purpose of those apps.
Consumers and businesses in the wider network are accustomed to the existence of “super apps”, and they are well-used. So in a world where some of the homegrown Chinese apps have found it harder to break into international markets (and in some cases like the U.S., they may be downright challenged to do so), this gives HungryPanda, which is a U.K. app, an interesting position, potentially as a partner or as a strong competitor in those markets.
Indeed it already pushes a wide range of offers to users from partner organizations, which stretch well beyond basic food ordering.
HungryPanda started for Liu as a side project to university. His plan was to go on to the London School of Economics for post-graduate work after getting his Nottingham undergrad degree. The business took off, though, and so he deferred for two years. Last year, he got the reminder from the LSE to nudge him on what happens next, and he said he ended up deferring indefinitely for now.

In comparison to non-human animals, humans are highly flexible in cooperative tasks, which may be a result of their ability to understand a partner's role in such interactions. Here, we tested if wolves and dogs could flexibly adjust their behaviour according to whether they needed a partner to solve a cooperative loose string-pulling paradigm. First, we presented animals with a delay condition where a human partner was released after the subject so that the animal had to delay pulling the string to enable coordinated pulling with the human partner. Subsequently, we investigated whether subjects would recruit a partner depending on whether they could operate the apparatus alone, or help from a partner was required. Both wolves and dogs successfully waited in the delay condition in 88% of the trials. Experimental subjects were also successful in recruiting a partner, which occurred significantly more often in the cooperation trials than in the solo pulling condition. No species differences were found in either experiment. These results suggest that both wolves and dogs have some understanding of whether a social partner is needed to accomplish a task, which enables behavioural coordination and cooperation.
