![]() ![]() ![]() Other Features – If you run near roads or in low-light conditions, then it may be a good idea to go for a pair of shorts which have reflective details to help keep you more visible.That being said, it’s never a bad idea to do some of your own research into the manufacturer by checking out some customer reviews and seeing what products are the most highly-rated before making a purchase. Brand – The shorts featured on this page are made by brands with long histories of making quality products in the sportswear and running world.However, if you have a plus-sized phone or plan to take bigger items out running with you, it’s best to check the dimensions of the pockets before making a purchase as having a pocket that’s not quite big enough for your phone can be very frustrating. The shorts featured on this page all feature at least one zip pocket for storage of small items such as your keys, cards and phone. We favour shorts with zip pockets, so that you can keep your items secure and don’t have to worry about things falling out midway through your workout. Having good storage options for your small items during your run is important. It’s very rare to go on a run without taking any items (such as house keys, cards or your phone) out with you. Pockets – Pockets are probably the most underrated features of good running shorts.There are other options out there in terms of materials (such as cotton) if you’re not keen on the popular ones such as polyester – but these are generally less common. Compression-style shorts are often made from a blend of polyester and elastane to provide that stretchy, body-hugging feel. Most modern running shorts are made from synthetic materials such as nylon and polyester to help wick away moisture from your body and also provide a lightweight and airy feel. Material – One of the main points to consider is the material the shorts are made from.The type and look you go for will ultimately come down to personal preference but it’s worth being aware of the multiple design options out there. For example, you might be looking for a loose fitting and airy V-notch running shorts, or you might prefer a tight-fitting stretch option such as compression shorts. Running shorts are available in a few different fits and designs which all have their benefits and drawbacks. How your shorts fit you and feel is crucial, and ideally you’ll be looking for a pair which feel light and that don’t restrict your ease of movement while running. Fit And Style – This is probably the most important aspect to consider when shopping for running shorts.Here are some of the key things to consider. There are a few things to think about when shopping for a pair of running shorts, such as the different styles and fits, plus other variables like the material and colour.

![]() ![]() To Kipchoge, a good race isn’t merely about the time or the victory. “I always say I don’t call a world record, but I aim to run a good race, be it a world record, be it a personal best, be it a good race,” he said. In press conferences last Saturday and again on Friday, the philosophical Kipchoge declined to issue a world record-or-bust objective. The last seven instances the men’s marathon world record has been broken, it has come in Berlin. New York City is too hilly for fast times. Kipchoge no doubt returned to Berlin - rather than enter November’s New York City Marathon for the first time, which he plans to do in the coming years - because he feels he can bring the record down even further. Over the last decade, he became the unquestioned greatest of all time: wins in 14 of his 16 marathons, the first person to break two hours over the distance (in a non-record-eligible event) and, at his last appearance on the pancake-flat course at the German capital in 2018, took the world record down from 2:02:57 to 2:01:39. A standout on the track (world 5000m champion at age 18), he transitioned to the roads after missing Kenya’s Olympic team in 2012. Kipchoge, a 37-year-old who ran a few miles to and from school as a kid, took a more conventional route to 26.2-mile stardom. Their paths converge somewhat as the top seeds at Sunday’s Berlin Marathon, where Kipchoge might break his world record while D’Amato could lower her American record. Favorite us! Follow 15 days apart in 1984, Kenyan Eliud Kipchoge and American Keira D’Amato have shown there are multiple routes to marathon success. In the end the race was super hard but we did really well. “I only had to follow, to control and believe in my power. I didn’t think about winning the stage, I just wanted to win the general classification,” Evenepoel said. ![]() Mas is set to finish second in the overall classification with Juan Ayuso, a 19-year-old rider of UAE Team Emirates, completing the podium. The Spaniard only shaved two seconds off Evenepoel’s advantage, which stands at 2 minutes, 5 seconds. But Evenepoel latched onto his wheel and that was the end of Mas’ hopes. Mas made his last attempt to break Evenepoel on the fourth climb up the category-one Puerta de la Morcuera after Movistar had set a hard pace and shed Evenepoel of his teammates. That left Mas as his only real threat over the final days, but the Spaniard was unable to close the gap. His most dangerous challenger was three-time defending champion Primoz Roglic, who was gaining ground until he crashed earlier this week and had to withdraw from the race. The Olympic gold medalist and the 2019 Giro winner also won the 12th and 14th stages.Įvenepoel has held the red jersey since taking the lead in the sixth stage. It was the third stage win of this Vuelta for Carapaz. Richard Carapaz won the 112-mile stage from Moralzarzal to Puerto de Navacerrada that included three category-one climbs in 4 hours, 41 minutes. His first race win as a professional came at age 19 when he won the single-day race in northern Spain. But Evenepoel has rebounded this year, also winning the San Sebastián Classic for a second time in June. “(This is) for Belgium, for my teammates, my family, my fiancee… I have been away so many weeks and months, it is for them.”Įvenepoel had a difficult 2021, abandoning the Giro d’Italia after a crash in the 17th stage, and facing criticism from Eddy Merckx over what the Belgian great said was his unwillingness to ride for the team. It’s actually the first Grand Tour I start healthy. “I’ve been working so hard to come here in the best shape possible. All the critics and the bad comments I received after last year, I think I finally delivered and answered with my pedals,” Evenepoel said. “I don’t know what’s going through my head and my body right now. ![]() While the team leaders will use it to enjoy the end of the grueling event, the sprinters will vie for the stage win.Įvenepoel said that he had finally “delivered” after previous disappointment. The final stage is a flat 60-mile ride from Las Rozas to a finish in Spain’s capital when custom dictates that no rider challenges the pacesetter. He is set to become the first Belgian to win a Grand Tour since 1978 when Johan De Muynck won the Giro d’Italia. Well-supported by his Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl team, Evenepoel had little trouble ensuring that E nric Mas and the Spaniard’s Movistar team were never able to challenge the two-minute lead he took into the 20th stage in mountains just north of Madrid, where the race ends on Sunday.Įvenepoel burst into tears on crossing the finish line, where he was embraced by his teammates. ![]() Remco Evenepoel all but clinched his first Grand Tour title on Saturday after the 22-year-old Belgian protected his lead in the Spanish Vuelta on the three-week race’s final competitive stage. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even the sound effects are the same (ticking clocks, muttering voices, breaking glass, jet plane fly-over, television sounds between songs).The drummer does a good job imitating Nick Mason… too bad Roger didn’t find someone to copy David Gilmore. I kid you not… every song on the album sounds like a copy of another Roger Waters song. But if it HAD been released in surround, I would have bought it, of course, for at least twice what I paid for the CD, and I would have been stuck with a boring retread of every other Roger Waters/Pink Floyd album that’s come before (except there are NO guitar solos on the entire album). Yes, you heard me right… never thought I’d utter the words. ![]() I’m so glad this album wasn’t released in surround sound. Before we all get too old (or worse) please? Waters please? It's probably done and just waiting in the wings (of Pigs). It's been said 100's of times already, but, The Wall getting a 5.1 remix is way overdue. For that matter, "Pink Floyd's" The Final Cut (quotes intended) would benefit greatly as well. Maybe someday both of those studio albums will get the 5.1 treatment as well. ![]() Amused To Death remains my favorite of his solo albums and seeing Pros and Cons and Radio KAOS in concert were both great experiences. Not that I don't like his solo albums to date, on the contrary. He's hitting all the Floydian heart strings, so I think he's made a concerted effort to reach back and grab some of the old magic. I wasn't overly impressed (or overly letdown either) with the first peak at the new album (Smell The Roses), but the new sneak listen "Deja Vu" is more encouraging to me. Add me to the list hoping for a 5.1 release for "Is This The Life We Really Want?". ![]() ![]() ![]() Clicker Training with Your CatĬlicker training is a great source of both mental and physical stimulation for your cat. Our favorites are the Nina Ottosson puzzles and Cat Activity puzzles. They also come in a wide range of difficulty levels and styles. They are an excellent source of mental stimulation.

I use the software all the time, and I'm usually able to accomplish what I need within the limits of the free version - but if I need more, I might purchase a short-term subscription, which is affordable and much cheaper than alternative programs. Especially reading and tagging PDFs, a constant demand in many management professions, cannot be done in Sejda.ĭespite its limitations, Sejda PDF is a powerful application that is easy to access (online or as a desktop app), intuitive to use, and is fairly priced. Of course, there are many things that the tool doesn't do, and for that it is necessary to use another tool. To be honest, I have no complaints about the tool. I think of everything, what I like the most is the speed at which I can do all this with Sejda. You can quickly manipulate PDFs, such as filling out forms sent in PDFs, inserting an illustration containing your physical signature of the document (not a digital signature, just an illustration representing your signature). It has a desktop application, which makes all the difference to me, there is no need to use web apps. Sejda can do a lot of things and still have a clean, intuitive interface, with virtually no learning curve. I've tested other free and paid solutions, especially MasterPDF, but the one I use continuously is Sejda. At the time I was looking for a tool precisely to manipulate PDFs. Look at this VIDEO if you don’t know how.I started using Sejda in early 2020, almost two years ago.
![]() ![]() SQL Server on Linux supports mounting a folder on the Docker host to the default SQL Server data directory in a container. ![]() v C:/temp/:C:/temp/ -e attach_dbs="" microsoft/mssql-server-windows-express You can directly attach a folder that contains a database's data files and transaction log files to a SQL Server container running on Windows, as you can see in the following example:ĭocker run -d -p 1433:1433 -e sa_password=SQLpwd2017 -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y Called a bind mount, this process is also somewhat different for SQL Server containers on Windows and Linux. The other way to attach external databases is to mount a file or directory that's on the Docker host in the container. Also, databases need to be attached to containers via a docker run command. With Docker on Windows, you can only map to empty directories, and only user database files can be present in a volume. That isn't the case with Windows-based volumes. Otherwise, you can copy a database backup file to the volume and restore it, which makes the database available to the container. To add more databases, copy their data and log files to the volume and attach them to the container. In Linux, you map SQL Server's default data directory to one that Docker creates in a volume and Docker copies the system's database files into the volume. Volumes can be used with SQL Server in both Windows and Linux systems, but they work differently in the two OSes. You can then mount the volume to a container using the following command:ĭocker run -d -p 1433:1433 -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y -e MSSQL_SA_PASSWORD=SQLpwd20017 -v MSSQLDBvol:/var/opt/mssql microsoft/mssql-server-linux Interface to attach a SQL Server database to a container by restoring a backup file ![]() Volumes are the preferred method of enabling data persistence in containers, according to the online documentation for the Docker technology.įirst, use the docker volume create command to set up a volume. One is to use Docker data volumes, which reside in the Docker-managed portion of the host machine's file system. ![]() There are two ways to attach external databases to containers. The external repositories are maintained separately from the container so the databases remain in place if it's stopped and deleted. Docker lets users do so by attaching database files stored externally to a container that's running SQL Server. While that can work for development and test uses with a system like SQL Server, in production applications, you typically need to persist databases and the changes made to the data in them. Q: How can I attach external databases to SQL Server containers?ĭocker containers are stateless. If you want to run multiple SQL Server containers on the same host, you need to map them to different ports to avoid conflicts. Note that when you start a container, you have the option of mapping it to SQL Server's default port 1433 or another port that's exposed on the host. You can also use sqlcmd, SSMS or Azure Data Studio to connect to a SQL Server container from a host system that's separate from the Docker host by entering the Docker host's IP address followed by a comma and the container's TCP port mapping. You simply enter the IP address of the container, as here: Server = 172.17.0.2. To do this, you can use sqlcmd or a management tool like SSMS or Azure Data Studio. The easiest way is to run a docker exec command with the notation for the server name. You need to use the sqlcmd command-line tool to do this because Docker containers don't support a GUI. Connecting from within the container itself.You can connect to a SQL Server container to query and manage it in three ways two of them can be done with SSMS or Azure Data Studio, which was called SQL Operations Studio before Microsoft made it generally available in September 2018. Q: Can I use SQL Server Management Studio ( SSMS ) or Azure Data Studio to connect to SQL Server in a container and run queries? Here are answers to five frequently asked questions on running SQL Server in Docker containers. However, there are some things you should know about deploying SQL Server containers before you start to use them. Containers can also be used in production SQL Server applications. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cookie is set by the GDPR Cookie Consent plugin and is used to store whether or not user has consented to the use of cookies.

The update also introduces many smaller changes to the game, which are intended to balance the gameplay or fix bugs that occur in the game. DOOM Eternal will not have ray tracing support at its launch, and while that might disappoint gamers - it will be coming. The map called Corrosion will enable us to visit the ancient ruins located in the middle of an infernal swamp. The devs have also prepared a new location on which we'll fight in multiplayer mode.

After all, that’s the way my mother, who grew up in the Bronx borough of New York City in the 1930s, when anti-Semitism in America was on the rise, did it in our home. But there it was, a government-issued reminder that in the window, where your neighbors can see it, is the place from which your menorah should send out its glow.Įven so, a statement released by the Postal Service with the issue of the new stamp renewed my concerns when it reminded me that “at times in history when it was not safe for Jewish families to make a public declaration of faith, the menorah was set instead in a prominent place inside the home.” Though the statement went on to say that “today in the U.S., many families have renewed the tradition of displaying the menorah in windows during the holiday,” I still wondered if “today” was one of those “not safe” times in history. The design - a traditional, branched menorah shown burning in a window against a background of falling snow - seemed innocuous enough, even unseasonably fanciful if you live in California, like me. Helping to banish my second thoughts, however, was that new stamp. Was this a wise time to let our light shine? Why was I worried now? Since the previous Chanukah, nothing had changed in our multi-ethnic and multi-denominational neighborhood, a place where non-Jewish neighbors have wished me “Happy Chanukah” and at Passover “ gut yontif.” But in the uncertain light of political change in our country, I was worried about what was emerging from the shadows: anti-Semitic iconography online, attacks on Jewish journalists, the re-emergence of Jewish conspiracy stories, Jewish college students being confronted with swastikas. In fact, it wasn’t really Chanukah for me until I walked outside and, looking at the lit menorah emanating from my own window, affirmed that we had arrived to this time once again. Saying the blessings and lighting the candles is a mitzvah, according to the Talmud, and by doing so, we were also recognizing the blessing of our freedom of religion and expressing our Jewish identity. We’ve proudly placed our menorahs - whether lit by candle or by bulb - in our front windows, publicizing the miracle of the holiday both to our neighbors and ourselves. Chanukah postage stamp depicting a lit menorah in a window was an unexpected source of inspiration.įor 17 years we’ve lived on a block where there are no other Jewish families. Though Chanukah represents a victory of light over darkness - by the Maccabees over the Seleucid Empire, which resulted in the rededication of the Second Temple - recent events were causing me to rethink our window menorah lighting, turning me toward sharing our menorah kindling with only family and friends.īut, surprisingly, like finding an extra Chanukah candle in the box, a new U.S. ![]() This year’s Chanukah stamp provided an unexpected source of inspiration for a writer. ![]() |
