    PRE-COMPETITION FACTS RUKA TRIPLE, FIN Stage 1: Ladies‘ / Men‘s Sprint Classic COMPETITION COURSE Ladies: 1,4 km Men: 1,4 km Bonus seconds: WEATHER FORECAST LADIES For the 10th season in a row, Ruka will host the first sprint event of the World Cup calendar (2008-2017). Marit Bjørgen (NOR) has won four of the previous 11 sprint World Cup events in Ruka (all classic style), most of all athletes and one more than Petra Majdic (SLO). Bjørgen's four sprint World Cup wins in Ruka, are joint-most for her at a single venue along with Lahti and Düsseldorf. Bjørgen is on five podium finishes in sprint World Cup events in Ruka, joint- most along with Majdic. Bjørgen has only recorded more sprint World Cup podium finishes in Davos (6) than in Ruka (5). Stina Nilsson (SWE) has won the last three sprint World Cup events (free and classic) and could become the first non-Norwegian to claim four victories in a row since Majdic in 2009. Nilsson has won each of the last five sprint World Cup events she participated in. The last time she failed to claim victory was in the sprint free in Davos on 11 December 2016 (31st). On 26 November 2016, Nilsson won the sprint classic in Ruka, her first ever World Cup victory in classic style. Only Maiken Caspersen Falla (NOR, 10) has claimed more sprint World Cup wins since the start of 2014/15 than Nilsson (9). Last season's sprint World Cup winner Falla has reached the podium in 14 of her last 15 sprint World Cup appearances with a 31st-place finish in Drammen (classic style) on 8 March as the only exception.

  • Race Across the World? If You Were Tasked to Race Across the World with Limited Cash and Nothing in the Way of Modern Technology, How Do You Think You Would Fare?
    What is Race Across the World? If you were tasked to race across the world with limited cash and nothing in the way of modern technology, how do you think you would fare? Now in its second series, Race Across the World sees five teams race from one point to another. In the last series they raced from London to Singapore. This series has teams race from the top to bottom of Latin America - from Mexico City to the most southerly city in the world, Ushuaia in Argentina. They leave behind their smartphones, internet access and credit cards and are armed with only the cash equivalent of a one-way airfare. In a competition that sees the teams travel this extraordinary journey at ground level, their skill, ingenuity and determination is tested to the extreme as they race through some of the world’s most beautiful scenery, form bonds and friendships across cultural divides and rely on the kindness of strangers in order to stand the best chance of winning. Task 1: Watch the first episode of the second series. There are now 5 episodes in BBC iPlayer. The rest of the series is shown on BBC2 at 8pm every Sunday. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000g6nt/race-across-the-world- series-2-episode-1 You are now going to plan travels for your own ‘Race Around the World.’ While travel is currently restricted at the moment this task gives the opportunity to ‘travel’ the world.

These commissions are hailed as ‘iconic’ often even before they are erected, receive wide media attention, and have become the object of academic enquiry in architecture, geography, sociology and urban studies. However, as intellectual inquiry focuses on the proliferation of contemporary corporate ‘icons’, the question that Gottman (1966) posed back in 1966, i.e. whether, as the skyscraper spreads around the world it still has the same meaning and function as it had in the beginning, remains unanswered and becomes more relevant than ever. An analysis that links the proliferation of new to the banalisation of older corporate ‘icons’ is still to be undertaken.. In this contribution, I sketch an interpretative framework for interpreting this parallel process of ‘banalisation’ of old and proliferation of new ‘iconic’ corporate architecture as the Janus-faced manifestation of a qualitative shift in the relationship between capital and architecture.

    Auto & Motorcycle Titles Spring 2020 {IPG} The Brown Bullet Rajo Jack's Drive to Integrate Auto Racing Bill Poehler Summary The powers-that-be in auto racing in the 1920s, namely the American Automobile Association’s Contest Board, prohibited everyone who wasn’t a white male from the sport. Dewey Gaston, a black man who went by the name Rajo Jack, broke into the epicenter of racing in California, refusing to let the pervasive racism of his day stop him from competing against entire fields of white drivers. In The Brown Bullet, Bill Poehler uncovers the life of a long-forgotten trailblazer and the great lengths he took to even get on the track, and in the end, tells how Rajo Jack proved to a generation that a black man could compete with some of the greatest white drivers of his era, wining some of the biggest races of the day.

  • January 2019
    B Manawatu Car Club Inc MAGAZINE JANUARY 2019 Something for Everyone Page 1 of 40 … EDITORSPEAK… Email Trevor at [email protected] A collection of random thoughts this month for your entertainment, edification or elucidation. I’ve thrown a few brickbats at Auckland Transport over the last year, so, for the first time I think, I have a bouquet to throw. I’m not sure how far the reach of this magazine extends, but it would seem someone at AT has been reading it, as one of the local speed cameras now sports huge signs about 400m each side of its location clearly stating “High Crash Risk” and “Safety Camera”. I won’t split hairs about the use of the word safety, so well done that man or woman responsible. A bunch of virtual flowers just for you. I’ve harped on for years that EVERY speed camera, if it is truly sited for road safety, should be clearly labelled, as only then will it be truly effective in achieving reduced speeds in the area it monitors. Finally someone appears to have listened!! A recent read of an article by a fellow farmer included the following which tickled my fancy – “I’m kept awake by the idiot brigade, the ones that call us planet polluters and worse. You know the ones. They sit in traffic for 90 minutes a day going nowhere, pumping carbon monoxide out into the atmosphere and yelling loudly about how its cow farts that are fu*k*ng the ozone layer”. Fair point well put I reckon!! It’s worth noting that it takes 10 sheep farts to equal one cow fart!! So the AA Driven NZ Car of the Year awards are out, and the one to surprise me was the Toyota Corolla being touted as New Zealand’s safest car.

  • Toblacher “Wall of Fame”
    TOBLACHER “WALL OF FAME” Die "Wall of Fame" von Toblach ist voller Champions, und wenn man in der „Goldliste“ zurückkehrt, sieht man eine Eliteliste, die bezugnehmend auf den Sieg von Arianna Follis bei der ersten Tour de Ski in Toblach im nächsten Jahr, mit etwas italienischer Zufriedenheit, ergänzt werden wird. Ausgehend von den Damen wurde 2018 die 10km in freier Technik der Tour de Ski von der Russin Natalia Nepryaeva gewonnen, begleitet vom Sprintsieg der Schwedin Stina Nilsson. Im Jahr 2017 fanden eine Reihe von Weltcup-Rennen mit Siegen der legendären Marit Bjoergen, Charlotte Kalla, einer der jüngsten Siegerinnen in der Geschichte der Tour de Ski, Natalia Matveeva und Yulia Belorukova im Sprint-Team und Matveeva im Sprint statt. Das Jahr 2017 war auch eine "Tour de Ski" mit einer 5km langen Strecke in freier Technik, die der U.S. amerikanischen Jessica Diggins vorbehalten war, die 2016 bei derselben Art von Herausforderung bereits zu ihrem Schlag ausgeholt hatte. In den Jahren 2015 und 2014 gingen die Siege an die Norweger, mit Therese Johaug und Maiken Caspersen Falla in der Weltmeisterschaft und sogar vier aufeinanderfolgende Erfolge von Bjoergen, zwei in der Tour de Ski und zwei im Weltcup. Astrid Jacobsen Uhrenholdt der “norge-Truppe“, brillierte auch in einem Rennen von 15km in freier Technik, wobei die polnische Meisterin Justyna Kowalczyk 2013 die Siege bei der Toblacher Tour de Ski in klassischer und freier Technik übernahm. Im Jahr 2012 holte Marit Bjoergen Superstar, weitere drei aufeinanderfolgende Erfolge (15km freie Technik - Sprint - 3 km klassische Technik), wobei sich die Norwegerin mit der Polin Kowalczyk abwechselte, welche 2011 die 15km in freier Technik gewann.

    PREVIEW Ladies SPRINT CLASSIC STYLE – Saturday 24 Nov 2018 • For the 11th season in a row, Ruka will host the first sprint event of the World Cup calendar (2008-2018, all classic style). • Stina Nilsson won the ladies' sprint classic World Cup race in Ruka in each of the past two seasons. • The only athlete to win the opening ladies' sprint World Cup event in three successive seasons is Marit Bjørgen. Bjørgen did so on two occasions: in 2004-2006 (all in Düsseldorf) and in 2010-2012 (all in Ruka). • Only Bjørgen (4) and Petra Majdic (3) have won more ladies' sprint World Cup events in Ruka. Majdic won the first three sprint events held in Ruka from 2006 to 2008. • Nilsson won gold in the ladies' sprint classic event at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. The only reigning Olympic champion to win the first ladies' sprint event in the next season was Bjørgen in November 2010. • In total, Nilsson has won 12 ladies' sprint World Cup races, joint-fifth most all-time alongside Kikkan Randall. • Maiken Caspersen Falla won the ladies' overall sprint World Cup in each of the last three seasons. Only compatriots Bjørgen (5) and Bente Skari (5) have won the ladies' sprint title more often. • Falla has won 16 ladies' sprint World Cup races, one short of equalling Skari (17) in third place all-time. Only Bjørgen (40) and Majdic (20) have won more sprint World Cup races among women. • Falla has claimed 43 podium finishes in ladies' sprint World Cup races, only trailing Bjørgen (60) for most.
