On Wisconsin: Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?
Shortly after 10 AM somewhere east of Menomomie.
Things are getting mighty sqaulid in the Chevy Van and I'm afraid violence may break out. It all started when Dos Beaners as Carter wryly calls them, Hugo and Cesar, insisted that we stop for a breakfast burrito at the Golden Arches. Despite all his petro dollars, apparently old Hugo is something of a cheap skate and insisted on splitting one with Cesar. When we were informed that it was one minute after 10 AM and the McDonald's in Menomomie stopped serving breakfast at exactly 10:00 AM, Mondale accused the pimply faced window attendant of racism and started reciting Hubert Humphrey's 1948 Democratic Convention speech, which of course put everyone within earshot to sleep.
When we awoke the Menomomie Police had Cesar in custody, apparently on a theft charge. Something about removing lettuce from all the snoozing diners sandwiches. For all their talk of brotherhood and solidarity, the comrades quickly huddled and when we broke from the huddle it was understood that Comrade Chavez had been sacrificed for a good cause. As we ran for the van and made our escape, Hugo was heard softly murmuring "... viva Chavez, via Chavez, viva Chavez...".

Did dinosaurs grow faster than reptiles?
Fibrolamellar bone was common in both dinosaurs and pterosaurs, though not universally present. This has led to a significant body of work in reconstructing growth curves and modeling the evolution of growth rates across various dinosaur lineages, which has suggested overall that dinosaurs grew faster than living reptiles.
Do birds and dinosaurs have similar growth rates?
When it comes to growth rates, however, linking birds to dinosaurs is trickier. Certain types of birds are among the fastest growing animals alive today. Yet, we often think of dinosaurs as big reptiles, and today’s reptiles grow very, very slowly. Mammal growth rates fall somewhere in between. Humans grow more slowly than all other mammals.
How fast did dinosaurs grow?
Smaller dinosaurs grew much more slowly. Yet, even the smallest dinosaurs grew at least twice as fast as modern-day reptiles. The biggest ones grew 56 times faster, says paleontologist Kristi Curry Rogers of the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul.
What is the difference between theropod dinosaurs and birds?
Furthermore, they argue that theropod dinosaurs had ribcages compressed from side to side, while birds have theirs from back to front. Most scientists argue however, that organisms change over the course of evolution, and it is not the differences that matter but similarities that they retain.
Did dinosaurs have a fast metabolism?
Dinosaurs grew from small eggs to several tons in weight relatively quickly. A natural interpretation of this is that dinosaurs converted food into body weight very quickly, which requires a fairly fast metabolism both to forage actively and to assimilate the food quickly.
Were dinosaurs the ancestors of birds?
The possibility that dinosaurs were the ancestors of birds was first suggested in 1868 by Thomas Henry Huxley.
Did theropod dinosaurs have feathers?
And many theropod dinosaurs that were not birds had true feathers, “which are feathers that have a central part down the middle and branching barbs,” according to Clarke.
What is the difference between a parrot and a dinosaur?
An easy way to think of it is parrots are a type of bird while not covering all birds. Dinosaurs are the same – a single species of dinosaur is like a species of parrot while other species look more like an ostrich or a kiwi.
Is bone structure a reliable indicator of metabolism in dinosaurs?
However, as a result of other, mainly later research, bone structure is not considered a reliable indicator of metabolism in dinosaurs, mammals or reptiles: Dinosaur bones often contain lines of arrested growth (LAGs), formed by alternating periods of slow and fast growth; in fact many studies count growth rings to estimate the ages of dinosaurs.
How fast can Turtles Run?
Some turtles, such as softshell turtles, are usually faster than others. They can run at 3-4 mph (5 to 6.5 km/hr). But turtles tend to run only in certain circumstances, as they are patient and steadier otherwise.
What can feathers tell us about the metabolisms of dinosaurs?
But direct, unambiguous impressions of feathers have only been found in coelurosaurs (which include the birds and tyrannosaurs, among others), so at present feathers give us no information about the metabolisms of the other major dinosaur groups, e. g. coelophysids, ceratosaurs, carnosaurs, or sauropods.
What do plates tell us about metabolic rate in dinosaur fossils?
Plates that may have functioned the same way as uncinate processes have been observed in fossils of the ornithischian dinosaur Thescelosaurus, and have been interpreted as evidence of high oxygen consumption and therefore high metabolic rate. Nasal turbinates are convoluted structures of thin bone in the nasal cavity.
What kind of dinosaur has feathers on its body?
Feathered dinosaur, any of a group of theropod (carnivorous) dinosaurs, including birds, that evolved feathers from a simple filamentous covering at least by the Late Jurassic Period (about 161 million to 146 million years ago). Caudipteryx, an early Cretaceous dinosaur thought to be one of the first known dinosaurs with feathers.
Why don’t theropods have feathers?
‘The further down the theropod dinosaur family tree we go, the evidence for feathers gets thinner and thinner.’ This could be for one of two reasons: either the animals simply did not have feathers, or these earlier dinosaurs have been fossilised in rocks that are not conducive for the preservation of soft tissues.
Did this dinosaur fossil show that it had feathers?
A new dinosaur fossil discovered in China supposedly indicates that it had feathers. The Christian Science Monitor reported that the fossil of the Yutyrannus huali, the “beautiful feathered tyrant,” was the largest yet found of the now famous Chinese “feathered dinosaurs.
What were the majority of feathered dinosaurs?
The Majority of Feathered Dinosaurs Were Theropods. Before we start, though, it’s important to recognize that not all dinosaurs had feathers. The vast majority of feathered dinosaurs were theropods, a broad category that includes raptors, tyrannosaurs, ornithomimids and “dino-birds,” as well as the earliest dinosaurs like Eoraptor…
Is a dinosaur a mammal or a bird?
Dinosaurs were reptiles, but now are birds. The definition of mammal is an animal that produces milk and has hair, and are normally warm blooded. Dinosaurs were kind of warm blooded, but had neither milk nor hair (some of the birdlike dinosaurs had protofeathers similar to hair called dino fuzz).
Did all dinosaurs have the same metabolisms?
Dinosaurs were around for about 150 million years, so it is very likely that different groups evolved different metabolisms and thermoregulatory regimes, and that some developed different physiologies from the first dinosaurs. If all or some dinosaurs had intermediate metabolisms, they may have had the following features:
How do all animals thermoregulate?
All animals thermoregulate. The internal environment of the body is under the influence of both external and internal conditions. Land animals thermoregulate in several ways. They do so behaviorally, by moving to a colder or warmer place, by exercising to generate body heat, or by panting or sweating to lose it.
Does biomechanics of running indicate endothermy in bipedal dinosaurs?
“Biomechanics of running indicates endothermy in bipedal dinosaurs”. PLOS ONE. 4 (11): e7783. Bibcode: 2009PLoSO…4.7783P. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0007783.
What do we know about metabolic bone diseases?
Metabolic bone diseases (MBDs) are a common presenting complaint in reptiles and amphibians to veterinarians; however, understanding of the causes and diagnostic and treatment options is often extrapolated from human or other mammalian medicine models.
Do you know these amazing facts about reptiles?
Reptiles truly are remarkable creatures. There are so many interesting facts about reptiles that it was hard to choose between them! Whether you fear them or love them, reptiles are an integral part of ecosystems across the globe. These colorful creatures come in every size you can think of.
What is the importance of reptiles in the Bible?
In religion, reptiles have served an important symbolic purpose, particularly noteworthy in the appearance of the serpent in Genesis. Some reptiles are more closely related to birds than they are to other reptiles; e.g., crocodiles are more closely related to birds than they are to lizards.

Affiliate agreements can be entered into by any type of business, from sole proprietor to corporation. Affiliating with another company is a good way to promote your business and make more money by joining with someone who has a proven track record and a larger customer base. But before you join an affiliate program of any kind, consider these questions (from Leslie Truex, Home Business expert).
You can sell your ebooks through Amazon's Kindle program or Apple's iTunes Connect, which gives you access to a large majority of the digital-book reading market and the barriers for entry are incredibly low. You don't need to invest lots of money to make this happen, but you do need to invest lots of time, not only in writing the ebooks, but in marketing them as well.
Double check yourself, before you double wreck yourself. Make sure everything you send to a company, whether a résumé, an email or a portfolio, is good to go. Double check your grammar and wording, and for God’s sake use spell check! This is especially important when it comes to the company’s name. Don’t spell their name wrong and be sure to type it how they type it (e.g. Problogger, not Pro Blogger).
I insist my writers actually read the books, test the cameras and use the software products they are reviewing. I encourage them to be as genuine and unbiased as possible, to point out both the pros and cons of the product. While there’s some temptation to hype up a product and only talk about its positive points, a real review will help your reader relationship over the long haul and I find actually helps promote sales.
Please Note: Some of the products and services mentioned in this website, in articles, banner ads and newsletters and blog posts are for products and services for which I earn a referral fee or commission. We always evaluate anything we recommend very carefully and each year we turn down literally dozens of opportunities to recommend products or services where we can earn a commission. Even though we earn a fee on some of our recommendations, we only recommend products and services that we feel will deliver good value and with rare exceptions, they all come with a money back guarantee.
Write pitches. If you have located a client for whom you want to write, send pitches, which are topic ideas for articles. Write pitches that not only show your expertise, but also demonstrate your enthusiasm for the topic. First, read the publication to which you are sending pitches to familiarize yourself with what they publish. If applicable, identify a specific section and send our pitch to the appropriate editor. Also, include a brief summary of who you are.
NOTE: Residents of Arkansas and Louisiana – Amazon does not offer their affiliate program to residents of your state because they have insisted that Amazon collect sales tax on sales by affiliates, so Amazon pulled out of those states. So if you live in one of these states, please do not purchase this book. Amazon is working with some of these states to solve this issue, and we will note any changes in our newsletter as they occur.
Learn then selling guidelines. Each marketplace has guidelines that define what you can and cannot sell. State and federal laws also impact what items are prohibited. In general, you cannot sell alcohol, weapons, service contracts, animals or event tickets. Also, while not always prohibited, you may find restrictions on how you can sell items in some categories, such as art, gift cards and coupons. eBay, Craigslist and Amazon publish these guidelines on their websites.
Throw a bake sale if you like to cook. Choose classic recipes that are easy to make in big batches like chewy chocolate chip cookies, fudgy brownies, or vanilla cupcakes. Once you bake everything, separate your goodies into individual servings and place them in pretty packages like treat bags tied with ribbons. Set up a stand in your front yard or out on the street corner to get more traffic.
Rose and others looking for employment this summer: Retry the babysitting idea. Summer is a good time to babysit. Maybe volunteer a few times first and then use those families as references. Tell everyone you know that you are available to babysit. Use email, Facebook, fliers, word of mouth. Also try offering a set time every week, like Tuesday evenings form 5-9 pm in your home. Parents know they can drop off their children without calling ahead. They really appreciate that. It takes time and persistence to get the word out, butit can be done!
Set up the site. Choose a website building platform, such as WordPress, Joomla or Drupal. Next, choose a domain name and web hosting for your site. The domain name is your web address. Web hosting is a service that connects your site to the internet. Once you have your domain name and web hosting, go to the control panel of your hosting account and install your website platform. Design your website by choosing and installing a theme.


It’s the last 10 yards of an edit. Well actually, today it’s two edits symultaneously.
Unlike, I imagine, big beefy long-form edits, corporate edits spend the first 80% of their edit being chopped together with major things happening, large scale grading and audio finessing, and then spend the next 80% of the time being tweaked to death. A caption update here (oopsie – re-render), a shuffle of sections there (necessitating a complete reshuffle of the music edit), make this slower, make that faster. It’s what we do for a living, and quite frankly it’s the shift from the ‘Director’s cut’ to the ‘Release Print’. Not all Director Cuts are, if the truth be told, ‘better’.
So I’m doing major version controllage on filenames, i.e. I export my FCP movie as ‘Main edit – final’, then there’s a slight change, so it becomes ‘Main edit – final final’ and so on. Yes you do, don’t get all coy, we all do it. So we start being all professional about it and using numbers for version control, and the real ‘greybeards’ start their versions with a leading zero, knowing that all final edits end in double figures.
All this is fine. What gives me the time to vent frustration on this blog whilst YET ANOTHER version of my edit(s) ooze out of FCP is that rendering as you go can lead to problems. Rick – we’ve both been here, and the mystery is in rogue render files shared between sequences within a project.
When making tweaks to a sequence, requiring outputs two, three or four times a day, it feels good to render everything out and allow only the bits you tweak to change. Saves lots of time.
But I’ve found something horrible: what you see in the Canvas window does NOT necessarily equate to what you’ll get in the exported sequence. I had an imported movie from Google Earth Pro, which had a glitch in it, and an overlaid graphic sequence from Motion. Everything played fine within FCP. When I exported it, haunting flashbacks from non-working versions over-wrote what I saw in the Canvas. As soon as a transition started, the background (google earth pro movie) snapped from the latest version to an earlier lame version. So tweak the transition by a frame, force a re-render, but the export was the SAME. Ditto other glitches.
Bottom line: I’ve tried to flush out ALL renders for the whole project in order to get the Export to Quicktime (make self contained) work. Nope. Perhaps I should have checked the ‘re-render’ box instead, but Nope. Glitches still existed from phantom renders – and I think it was to do with other sequences in the same project using the same renders, therefore they DON’T get deleted even if you ask them to.
I finally got what I wanted by exporting to a different codec, making it self contained and re-rendering the whole thing. Took six times longer to do the final export of course, so only do it if you have to, or as your final stage. I wouldn’t want to do that for every output, but if what you see in FCP and what you get in export don’t match, do this.
So that’s my lesson today: all ‘final final final final’ movies should be rendered out from scratch in a lossless codec otherwise the ghost of renders past will be hanging around like a fart in a space suit.


Nicholas Cheah, 7, couldn’t hide his excitement as his little fingers flicked through the bank notes on his table.
Feeling very proud of himself, Nicholas’ face lit up when he finished counting his hard-earned “money” which came up to nearly 200 dollars.
When asked, however, if he could use the money before him to buy a Game Boy, he replied, “No, because these notes are fake.”
Nicholas was one of the participants at the Astro-Moneytree Money Savvy Camp where he learnt about the concept of money.
Organised by AstroLife – Astro’s loyalty programme to reward its customers – the camp aimed at instilling the values of saving, investing and budgeting among children.
Among the activities were a simulated auction, treasure hunt and introduction to the concept of money and budgeting.
There were also sessions for parents who wanted to learn the effective ways of teaching their children about the importance of managing their allowance money.
Parent Cheah T. S. said personal financial management should be taught in schools.
“What they teach in schools now is very academic and may not be adequate for children to ‘survive’ in society,” he said.
“Teaching children about the importance of saving money is not good enough. When children get older, they also need to know how to manage, grow and protect their money,” he added.
Trainer Chu Lai Yee was quick to caution that parents should not rely on any courses alone and expect their children to be financial-savvy over night.
“Parents must also do their job by reinforcing the positive values we teach in the camp at home,” she said.
As a start, Chu advised parents to treat their children like adults.
“Don’t give them the fish. Instead, show them how to fish. Show them how to, for example, open a bank account, rather than do it for them,” she said.
Making children work hard for something they want would make them understand the importance of money, she added.
“If they want something, they have to work for it. So they should be encouraged to take up summer jobs which they could earn some pocket money.”
However, she said, many Malaysian parents were overprotective and worried for their children’s safety, so most of them would not allow them to work.
“If that’s the case, parents perhaps could be the designated ‘driver’ that takes their children back and forth from work so they know their whereabouts,” she said.
When teaching children about financial management, Chu said parents or teachers should speak in a language that they could understand, such as by telling stories to explain complicated concepts

Electric bikes are definitely on the rise in popularity. Many people are drawn to their potential to help reduce emissions and make commuting easier. But one question that often comes up is whether or not you can charge the electric bike while you pedal.
An electric bike definitely can charge while pedaling. There are a few different ways to do this, but the most common is to use a dynamo hub. This is a special type of hub that has a built-in generator that produces electricity as you pedal.
Dynamo hubs are available for both front and rear wheels, so you can choose which one works best for your setup.
Another option is to use a pedal-assist system, which will provide power to the electric motor as you pedal, making it easier to ride uphill or over long distances.
Whichever option you choose, make sure that the battery on your electric bike is fully charged before heading out on your ride!

How Does An Electric Bike Work?
An electric bike, also known as an e-bike, is a bicycle with an integrated electric motor that can be used for propulsion.
E-bikes are becoming increasingly popular in many countries because they offer a green and sustainable mode of transportation.
Electric bikes have a battery-powered motor that assists the rider when pedaling. The motor is usually activated by a throttle on the handlebars, and it can provide varying levels of assistance depending on the mode that is selected.
Some electric bikes also have pedals that are equipped with sensors that activate the motor automatically when the rider is pedaling.
What Are the Benefits of Electric Bikes?
Electric bikes offer a number of benefits over traditional bicycles.
They can be used for commuting, running errands, and even recreation.
Electric bikes are much easier to ride than traditional bicycles because the motor provides assistance, making it possible to ride up hills and over long distances with ease.
Moreover, Electric bikes are also environmentally friendly since they do not produce emissions.
What Are Some Things to Consider Before Buying an Electric Bike?
There are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for an electric bike.
First, consider what type of riding you will be doing most often. If you plan on using the bike for commuting, look for a model with a range of 20-40 miles on a single charge.
If you want an electric bike for recreation, look for a model with a powerful motor that can assist you in tackling rough terrain.
You should also make sure to choose a bike that is the right size for you and that has features that meet your specific needs.
How Long Does It Take to Fully Charge?
Charging an electric bike battery is a simple process. Most batteries come with a charger that plugs into a standard outlet.
Once the charger is plugged in, it will take 4-6 hours to fully charge the battery.
Some chargers have a light that changes color to indicate when the battery is fully charged.
If you are using a battery that is not designed for electric bikes, it may take longer to charge or may not charge at all.
Always check with the manufacturer of the battery to see what the recommended charging time is.
It is important to note that overcharging an electric bike battery can shorten its lifespan.
Always unplug the charger once the battery is full. Do not leave it plugged in for extended periods of time.
Can an Electric Bike Charge While Pedaling?
The quick answer is no, you should not pedal an electric bike while the battery is charging. This could damage the battery and potentially cause a fire.
It’s always best to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when it comes to charging your electric bike battery.
But in general, it’s best to charge the battery outside of the bike frame, in a well-ventilated area. And of course, never leave a charging battery unattended.
If you need to pedal your electric bike while the battery is charging, make sure to disconnect the charger first. Otherwise, you could damage the battery and void any warranty that may come with it.
In short, it’s best to avoid pedaling an electric bike while the battery is charging. Play it safe and follow the manufacturer’s instructions to ensure a long life for your battery – and your electric bike.
Will This Process Damage the Battery Life Span in Any Way?
The answer to this question may depend on the type of electric bike you have. Some electric bikes are designed so that you can pedal them while the battery is charging, while others are not.
If you’re not sure about your particular bike, it’s best to consult the owner’s manual or contact the manufacturer to find out for sure.
In general, however, electric bike batteries are designed to be charged while the bike is not in use. This means that pedaling the bike while the battery is charging is not likely to damage the battery or decrease its lifespan.
However, it’s important to note that pedaling an electric bike while the battery is charging will use up some of the charges, so you may not get as much range out of the battery when it’s fully charged.
Additionally, if you pedal too hard while the battery is charging, you may overheat the battery, which could lead to damage. Therefore, it’s best to pedal gently while the battery is charging.
What Are Some of The Benefits of Owning an Electric Bike Over a Traditional Bike?
Electric bikes offer a number of advantages over traditional bicycles and cars. They are much cheaper to operate and maintain, and they generate no emissions.
Moreover, Electric bikes also have the potential to be much faster than traditional bicycles, and they can be ridden in places where cars cannot go.
Finally, electric bikes offer a much more comfortable riding experience, as they are easier to pedal and do not require the rider to exert as much effort.
Are There Any Other Ways to Charge an Electric Bike Battery Aside from Pedaling It or Using a Power Outlet?
Yes, there are other ways to charge an electric bike battery. You can use a solar panel, or you can use a hand crank.
Solar panels are the most efficient way to charge an electric bike battery, but they can be expensive. Hand cranks are less expensive, but they are not as efficient.
So, what have we learned? An electric bike can definitely charge while you pedal.
The amount of power it generates will depend on how hard you’re pedaling and the strength of the battery. You can also use this to your advantage by generating more power as you ride up hills or inclines.
In general, using an electric bike is a great way to save energy and cut down on pollution, and now you know that it’s possible to charge the battery while riding too!

One of the great features of Depot Park is its on-site childcare, First Steps, which serves children in the outside community while maintaining availability for children whose parents work at one of the many businesses within Depot Park. The service is run by Saint John’s, a charity that also runs Depot Park’s Plates Café. When the childcare service was on the brink of shutting down in late 2010, they stepped forward and took over the center, giving it a new look and offering continuing care to the families who had already been using it. The childcare service has many attractions, one of which is its security within the guarded premises of the park. Anyone wishing to access the childcare center must go through one of the park’s gates as well as the gates of the center itself.
Saint John’s, which has run the center since April 2011, is a shelter for homeless women and children. Depot Park and Saint John’s have had a mutually beneficial relationship for years, as is evident in both the childcare center and in Plates Café. The childcare service enables parents to support their families while working at Depot Park, knowing their children are safe and well cared for. Depot Park ownership is pleased to offer this amenity, not only because of the service rendered to businesses and their employees, but also as a way to make a positive difference in the community.

Giro d’Italia 2023 – Stage 19 – Longarone – Tre Cime di Lavaredo : 183 km
Falling in May, the Giro d’Italia welcomes in the start of the much-anticipated Grand Tour season. This is the time of the year where we see the climbers finally emerge, all vying for the same coveted prize – the coveted maglia rosa, or pink jersey. As is the case with all Grand Tours, the Giro route changes year on year as organisers send it around new areas of the country, seeking out ever more challenging parcours. Despite the route changing every year, the format remains very much the same. With a route that features no fewer than three individual time trials – adding up to a total distance of 73km – this year’s race looks set to favour those riders who are strong against the clock. There’s no shortage of legendary mountain passes though, in addition to three time trials the riders will also be faced with summit finishes atop Gran Sasso d’Italia, Monte Bondone and Tre Cime di Lavaredo. Across this year’s 3,481.9km-long route, riders will encounter no less than 54,331m of climbing – almost 2,000m than last year’s, an edition described by many as one of the most mountainous in years! Taking the sheer amount of climbing and abundance of ITT kilometres into account, this year’s Giro looks set to be one of, if not the hardest in recent memory.
Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain Victorious) claimed a breakaway victory on stage 19 of the Giro d’Italia, as Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) snatched three seconds back from race leader Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) at Tre Cime di Lavaredo.
Buitrago was part of a 15-man breakaway that formed after a breathless start to a high-altitude Dolomite affair that was billed as the queen stage but was subdued from a pink jersey perspective until the steep final ramps of the finishing climb.
The Colombian used those double-digit gradients to ride across to and drop the irrepressible Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech), who was forced to swallow his fourth second-place of this Giro. Magnus Cort (EF Education-EasyPost) clung on for third place from the break, taking bonus seconds out of the GC equation as Roglič and Thomas fought for the line in his shadow.
The top two traded blows in the final couple of kilometres, once again distinguishing themselves from third-placed João Almeida (UAE Team Emirates), who conceded another 20 seconds.
Almeida had opened hostilities just under 2km from the top of the final climb, which averaged 11.7% in the final 4km, but Roglič soon jumped and Thomas nipped across to it. Almeida ground his way back under the flamme rouge but then Thomas issued his first true attack of this Giro with 500 metres to go and Almeida was properly distanced. It looked like Thomas was also drawing blood from Roglič, who didn’t quite latch onto the wheel and then started to lost contact as the pink jersey squeezed again with 250 metres to go. But just as the Giro looked to be tilting one way, it swung back the other, as Roglič came roaring back in the final burst to the line, sprinting past and even finishing three seconds to the good.
In the overall standings, Roglič reduced his arrears to Thomas to 26 seconds ahead of Saturday’s decisive mountain time trial, with Almeida now at 59 seconds and needing a miracle.
Damiano Caruso (Bahrain Victorious) was the next finisher in seventh, moving up to fourth overall at the expense of Eddie Dunbar (Jayco-AlUla) who got into trouble 2km from the top and conceded more than a minute to Roglič and Thomas. Thymen Arensman finished strongly alongside Caruso after pacing most of the final climb for Thomas, moving up two places to seventh overall, with Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) next home to move to sixth as Lennard Kamna (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Andreas Leknessund (DSM) both suffered.
Buitrago himself moved up five places to 12th but he won’t care too much about the GC as he celebrates his second stage victory in as many editions of the Giro.
The Colombian climber snuck into a move during a chaotic opening couple of hours in which Jumbo-Visma tried to sneak men into the breakaway and Ineos struggled to keep a lid on proceedings. As a big group containing three Jumbo riders was snuffed out, Buitrago shot out the front of it and made his way into a break that eventually swelled to 15 riders as they took on the first of the day’s five climbs.
The racing calmed down over the 2000-metre peaks of Valparola and Giau, but Buitrago was always in the front breakaway selections before reaching the top of the penultimate climb of Tre Croci (7.9km at 7.2%) in a quartet with Gee, Cort and the remarkable Michael Hepburn (Jayco-AlUla).
Gee made his latest bid for glory on the lower slopes of a final climb that officially measured 7.2km at 7.6%, but Buitrago came back on the double-digit gradients in the final 4km. In fact, he appeared to play with his prey, inching his way very slowly but very surely across with 1,500 metres remaining, before hitting him with a dancing acceleration that Gee described as “ridiculous” and clearly had been stored up.
HOW IT UNFOLDED
Stage 19 of the Giro d’Italia featured a huge dose of high-altitude climbing, but there was no inclination to save energy in the gentler first part of the stage. On the opening flat 30km, and onto the long drag towards the day’s first climb, the peloton ripped chunks of out itself in a titanic struggle for the breakaway.
The first attackers were Larry Warbasse (AG2R Citroën) and Vejlko Stojnić (Corratec-Selle Italia), and they cracked on for the best part of 40km, almost impervious to the chaos that was unfolding just half a minute or so behind them. It would take an age to recount all the moves that came and went, but the most interesting theme was the activity of Jumbo-Visma, who were frequently looking to filter riders into the moves. Edoardo Affini and Michel Hessman were the chief protagonists but they appeared to sense the opportunity to pressurise Ineos Grenadiers with increasing relish, as Sam Oomen and Thomas Gloag briefly crept into a dangerous big move.
The blue jersey of Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ) glued himself to the wheel of his closest rival in the mountains classification, Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost) but both effectively marked each other out of the breakaway.
After almost 40km, with the gap down to 15 seconds, two riders managed to jump across to the leading duo: Alex Baudin (AG2R Citroën) and the irrepressible Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech). Magnus Cort (EF Education-EasyPost) then managed to bribe the gap solo to make it five out front, before four more riders came across to make it nine: Nicolas Prodhomme (AG2R Citroën), Patrick Konrad (Bora-Hansgrohe), Davide Gabburo (Green Project-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè), and Vadim Pronskiy (Astana Qazaqstan).
At that point, the dangerous 20-man group that contained three Jumbo-Visma riders, plus two from UAE Team Emirates, went clear and while it was snuffed out, Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain Victorious) pushed off the front of it and set across the gap to the break. He was later joined by Stefano Oldani (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and Michael Hepburn (Jayco-AlUla), taking the total number to 12. It didn’t quite settle, as the Movistar duo of José Joaquín Rojas and Carlos Verona, plus Mattia Bais (Eolo-Kometa) were the next to set off in pursuit.
There was a particularly pivotal moment after 50km as Ineso duo of Ben Swift and Salvatore Puccio struggled to contain the incessant attacks, and the peloton threatened to split. Whether by design or accident, they perhaps turned the tactical tables by slipping Thymen Arensman (Ineos Grenadiers) – ninth overall – into a move. Soon after, it all finally calmed down, the pink jersey stopped for a nature break, and the breakaway was allowed to drift off.
The first intermediate sprint came in Caprile after 64km, where Stojnic was first to bolster his intermediate sprints classification tally, while Gee was second to take more in the points classification. The 12 leaders crossed with a lead of 90 seconds over the Verona trio, and four minutes over the peloton.
However, just when it appeared to have settled, it unsettled. The Passo Campolongo hadn’t officially begun, but the approach was effectively itself a proper, albeit uncategorised, climb, and Healy used it to throw the cat among the pigeons with an attack from the back of the bunch. Pinot scrambled into response, getting a teammate to lead him out in pursuit, but that in turn posed a problem for the peloton, given the Frenchman’s position in seventh place overall.
Ineos upped the pace and latched onto Pinot’s pursuit, which split the bunch clean in two, with only 30 riders in the front group. A couple of kilometres up the road, Ineos decided to sit back, allowing Pinot to ping off alone in pursuit of Healy, who shook his hand with a rueful smile as the pair made contact and sat up. That wasn’t quite the end of it, as Healy broke the truce a couple of kilometres later, Pinot once again having to sprint to snuff it out once more, much to the annoyance of Puccio and the delight of a grinning Rohan Dennis (Jumbo-Visma).
With 100km to go, the Passo Campolongo (3.9km at 7%) finally did officially start, with the race itself finally settling down; the peloton regrouped 5:30 behind what was – with Verona, Rojas, and Bais joining – a 15-man breakaway. Gabburo led the break over the category 2 climb, with Swift and Puccio pulling the peloton, before the dip downhill to the foot of the cat 1 Passo Valparola (14.1km at 5.6%).
That climb took the riders above the 2000-metre barrier, but saw no great action, besides Stojnic dropping away and Verona having to come back after crashing in a collision with the AG2R car. At the summit, at 2196 metres, Gee beat Gabburo in the sprint for the maximum 40 KOM points, as the 14 remaining escapees extended their lead to eight minutes over a peloton that was led by Ineos and, in an indication of the relaxed pace, still just about featured Mark Cavendish. On the 15km descent, Jayco-AlUla hit the front and set a solid pace to reduced the gap to seven minutes by the foot of the Passo Giau, which measured 9.9km at 9.3%.
After some early skirmishes, the first selection in the break came when Verona accelerated and took Gee and Buitrago with him. Remarkably, Hepburn jumped across to it, followed by Cort. At the summit, Gee nudged forward to take another 40 KOM points as Hepburn pushed on, with Cort slightly distanced and the duo of Pronskiy and Prodhomme chasing several seconds further back.
There was no real action in the peloton, with Swift pacing the first half of the climb for Ineos, and Puccio the second, the gap to the break staying around the seven-minute mark. The sprinters quickly formed a gruppetto but the bunch remained sizeable and there was no interest from Jumbo-Visma or UAE to force a more selective tempo. Laurens De Plus took over at the top but Thomas was putting a gilet on and thoughts were firmly on the next 18km descent.
The was a regrouping on the descent, with Pronskiy and Prodhomme, then Konrad, Warbasse, Gaburro and Oldani rejoining to make it 11 out front. The second intermediate sprint came in Cortina, where Gee was first to further bolster his points collection.
PASSO TRE CROCI AND TRE CIME DI LAVAREDO
The break hit the penultimate climb of Passo Tre Croci (7.9km at 72.%) with a lead of 6:30 and Warbasse immediately attacked to gain a decent solo advantage. Buitrago later set off in pursuit and dragged Cort with him, with Gee and then Hepburn bursting across to it as Warbasse fell away half-way up. The four reached the top together, with 13km to go, Gee once again first across the KOM line.
The peloton came onto the climb 6:10 down, with Roglič stopping to make a tactical bike change onto a 1x gearing system with a big 10/44-tooth cassette. De Plus, 10th overall, took it up for Ineos and upped the pace as the rain started to pelt down, with a key early casualty as Almeida’s top domestique Jay Vine lost contact. 11th-placed Bruno Armirail (Groupama-FDJ) and Jumbo-Visma’s Koen Bouwman were also dropped as De Plus turned the screw and the bunch reduced to 18 riders as they crested the climb 3:50 behind the break.
After a brief dip, there was a false flat approach to the final climb of Tre Cime di Lavaredo, measuring 7.2km at 7.6% but in reality condensed into the final 4km section that averaged 11.7%. There was another regrouping in the break before Hepburn shook things up on the false flat and Gee attacked to lead solo onto the climb. Buitrago dropped Hepburn to set off in pursuit and, despite struggling to make inroads at first, the steep final section brought his lighter weight into play and he slowly but surely inched his way closer to Gee.
Finally, with 1,500 metres remaining, the catch was made, and Buitrago went for the kill, issuing a rasping attack that he’d clearly been storing up while letting Gee dangle in front.
De Plus led the GC group to the base of the climb, before Arensman took over and almost turned it into an accidental attack before slowing to offer a steadier tempo for Thomas. On the dip before the steep section, De Plus managed to return for Ineos, even taking it onto the double digits before pulling off just under 3km from the line. Arensman then took it up, distancing Kamna and Van Wilder as the group reduced to 10 before, 2km from the summit, there was a bigger casualty in the form of Dunbar.
Soon after, Almeida raised the pace and moved to displace Arensman at the front, finally lighting it up. Thomas followed, and Roglic sat posed before launching his first acceleration. Thomas zipped across to it, as Almeida lost ground before clawing his way back with a kilometre to go. Arensman, Caruso in his wheel, then dragged his way back with 700m to go. With 500 metres to go, Thomas issued his first attack of this Giro, with Roglič fighting to get on terms as Almeida was dropped and daylight opened. Thomas squeezed again with 250 metres to go and appeared to have distanced Roglič before the Slovenian surged for the line and stole three seconds.


Tossing out his iconic collection of aloha shirts isn't the only big change Saddleback Church's Rick Warren is making these days. His 2005 signature strategy for global missions, the PEACE Plan, is now PEACE 2.0 and includes the PEACE Coalition, a three-legged stool of private, public, and church partnerships, as well as a new focus on reconciliation and civil discourse. Timothy C. Morgan, CT's deputy managing editor, interviewed Warren at length in recent months to survey these changes.
Why don't you wear Hawaiian shirts any more?
I threw them all away. It started becoming a shtick. Every time I'd read a newspaper [it would] say: "Rick Warren, the Hawaiian-shirted preacher." I wasn't making a fashion statement out of this. I dress for comfort. I haven't worn a Hawaiian shirt in two years. I don't even own one.
The mainstream media often use the Billy Graham yardstick to measure your ministry. Doesn't that get annoying after a while?
I'm very tired of it. I have said many times, there is no successor to Billy Graham. Who was Luther's successor? Who was Wesley's successor? God uses individuals in individual ways. If there is any successor to Billy Graham, it's Franklin, who has continued to do evangelism. Most media only have two stories: build you up or tear you down. They are always looking for "the next big thing" to build up.
Did the Saddleback Civil Forum meet your expectations?
Oh, beyond expectation. The superlatives used by the media elite were absolutely astounding. The number-one goal was to out-think and out-love unbelievers. The other thing I wanted [was] to talk about issues that have a longer-lasting effect. A hundred years from today, how much oil costs is not going to be an issue. But the kind of leadership the ...1
