  • This Post Came from a Group Called Supertraining
    This post came from a group called Supertraining. Paul Rogers is the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Australian National Sprint Cycling Team. Enjoy! Australian track cyclists more or less dominated the Athens Olympics track program with six gold medals. Here is a unique view from the strength and conditioning coach. My apologies if the following has been posted previously. It is doing the rounds of some bike forums, so some may have already seen it. There's no name on it and that's how I came upon it, but the guy's name is no secret. Just a few points of interest. Ryan Bayley, mentioned below, won the Athens individual sprint gold. Check out the last paragraph for some insights into the last thread on 'endurance paradox'. Note the squat and jump data. My oh my! --------------------------------------------------------------------- "I am currently the Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Australian National Sprint Cycling Team and have been for about five years. I am also the Strength Scientist for the South Australian Sports Institute in Adelaide, Australia, where the National Sprint Program is based. In addition, for "fun", I help coach a group of developmental sprint cyclists, which form the core of our SA State Sprint team and half of whom are now in the Top 10 sprinters in Australia, which would make them National champions in all but a handful of countries and, when I get time, I roll around the track myself. Some points (for free): 1. We don't keep any secrets from anyone, including the Poms, the Frogs, Ze Germans or the Yanks.

  • Smilers Generic Sheets Part 11
    Smilers Generic Sheets Part 11 By John A. Cardona The first part of this article under the heading 'Smilers' was published in MPS Journal Volume 34/3 which was issued in January 2006. It covered the first 29 Generic Sheets issued from May 2000 to Christmas 2005. This part covers the next 34 Generic Sheets issued from January 2006 to December 2009. A Generic Sheet is defined as one where the design on the label adjoining the stamps has been chose:::1 by Royal Mail, and not customized by a member of the public; the latter are known as Smilers. There are a number of philatelists who are not in favour of these Generic Sheets, whereas others argue that they are simply there as an extra source of revenue for the Postal Authorities where, at the end of a financial year, the 'bottom line' is all that counts. Whatever :he pros and cons Generic Sheets have, no doubt, gained in popularity throughout the world and the forecast is that they are here to stay for a number of years ahead Year 2006 Fig. 30 - "A Bear called Paddington" A Generic Sheet containing 20 x 1st Class stamps from Animal Tales set was issued on 10 January 2006. The sheet was printed in lithography (litho) on self-adhesive paper. Paddington Bear was created by Michael Bond and the stamp features one of the early illustrations by Peggy Fortnum, from "More about Padq,ipgton" published in 1959. Since then L'1e Paddington Bear has featured in many books, carton strips, an animated TV series and a whole range of merchandise besides a statue at Paddington Station in London.

  • Pb3512 Northern Ireland Regionals
    BRITISH PHILATELIC BULLETIN Northern Ireland pre-decimal regionals by Brian Warren Although they do not attract the same level of attention as national definitives, '■Regionals’ or ‘Country’ definitives can provide the specialist collector with much of interest, reflecting the many changes in the national definitives of the period. Particularly noteworthy for their variation in designs are the £ s d issues. As a collector of the modern definitive issues of my native Ireland, I have always taken an in­ terest in the ‘Regionals’ issued for use in North­ ern Ireland. The ‘Regionals’ as they are known by us collectors or ‘Country’ definitives as the Royal Mail prefers to call them do not appear to gener­ ate as much interest as the national definitives. However, they provide a specialist collector with much of interest, reflecting the many changes which have occurred in the national definitives during the same period. Their great advantage is thankfully the Royal Mail’s continued policy j to confine the series to the four principal postal rates. This enables a basic collection to be ex­ panded without undue cost and difficulty. The £sd issues are particularly interesting given the variation in designs and, therefore, this article is confined to the pre-decimal issues. The campaign for Regional issues In October 1946, there was a proposal for Regional issues and tentative designs were prepared by Harri­ sons. This was not proceeded with, although a Liberation issue for the Channel Islands was issued in 1948 and could be regarded as the first regional issue, given that they were primarily for sale on the Islands.

  • The First Wales & Monmouthshire Regional
    STAMP DEFINITIVES THE FIRST WALES & MONMOUTHSHIRE REGIONAL STAMPS Date of issue: AUGUST 1958 - AUGUST 1969 On 18 July 1956 the Postmaster General (PMG), Dr Charles Hill, was asked in Parliament whether consideration had been given to issuing distinctive stamps for different parts of the United Kingdom. In reply he outlined the proposals informally approved by the Queen on 7 July for the GPO to issue 2½d, 4d and 1s 3d values for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2½d for Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man. He explained that the size, basic design and colour of the stamps would not change; the Queen’s head would remain the dominant feature but the borders of each stamp would contain symbols or designs appropriate to the country or area concerned, in place of those on the United Kingdom permanent issue. This ‘would symbolise the unity, combined with diversity, which provides the continuing strength of the British tradition’. It was intended that committees ‘representative of cultural and artistic interests in the countries and islands concerned’ be set up to advise on the design of the stamps. The announcement was not universally welcomed; for example, Viscount Elibank wrote in a letter to ‘The Daily Telegraph’ of 31 July that stamps with Welsh symbols would be ‘foisted’ on the English border counties of Cheshire, Shropshire and Herefordshire. THE MONMOUTHSHIRE PROBLEM On 23 July S D Sargent, the Deputy Director General (DDG) of the Post Office, wrote to Sir Austin Strutt of the Home Office regarding the matter raised in the provincial press over 1 whether the stamps for Wales would also be sold in Monmouthshire.
