Not a big fan of narrow fences? This season you are unlikely to walk a cross-country track without at least one skinny to negotiate, and accuracy questions are becoming increasingly challenging.
British Europeans squad contender Gemma Tattersall regularly practises skinnies as part of her regular routine. She says that doing your homework makes these questions straightforward, and just because its the off-season doesnt mean you should stop training for them.
These days everything is jumped to a skinny or corner and horses have to be ready for anything, says Gemma, who introduces each of her horses to narrow fences early in their education.
If they see small skinnies from an early stage they become the norm.
The following exercise is easy to do at home:

An Abellio Greater Anglia train at Colchester

New fences, lights and special training for staff have been introduced by the regions rail operator in a bid to tackle the increase in deaths on the tracks.

Chelmsford MP Simon Burns, who called a House of Commons debate about East Anglian rail services, highlighted the number of people taking their own lives on the railway, which he said had a devastating impact for the family and friends of those who killed themselves, but also an immeasurable impact on the rail network.
He said everyone was united in trying to do all they could to reduce the tragic problem, which caused so much misery to so many people.
Network Rail said the number of suicides across the Abellio Greater Anglia network had been in the 30s last year and it had delayed trains for a total of 30,000 minutes, It said it was taking a number of measures to prevent deaths.
Abellio Greater Anglia also said it was working closely with the Samaritans, who were training station staff in suicide intervention and working with Network Rail to trial preventative measures such as mid-platform fencing, end-of-platform fencing, coloured lights to keep people back from the platform edge, additional platform staff and increased patrols by Network Rail to identify people at risk.
In addition, a Samaritans poster campaign is also being displayed at stations. We are also part of a national industry group which is working together to look at ways to prevent these tragic incidents on the railway, a spokesman said.
Rail minister Clare Perry said the problems were having more and more of an effect.

ANTIOCH -- A man who fled police by jumping backyard fences after allegedly violating a restraining order briefly pedaled a paddle boat into a lake before deciding to surrender, police said.
The unusual pursuit began shortly after 11 a.m., after the man showed up at a residence in the 600 block of Wilbur Avenue, where he was forbidden to be per a restraining order, Antioch police Sgt. Tom Fuhrmann said.
After police were called, the man used the fences to escape and grabbed a paddleboat from a dock at Lake Alhambra, Fuhrmann said.
He pedaled into the lake and stayed there for a short time before giving up. He pedaled back to the shore with his arms raised, and police arrested him after he got to shore.
Nobody was injured during the incident.
Fuhrmann said the man was expected to be charged with violating a restraining order. Other charges stemming from his use of the paddle boat also were possible, he said.

Research conducted by Sayeef Salahuddins group, Laboratory for Emerging & Exploratory Devices, has been published in the online journal Natural Materials titled " Negative capacitance in a ferroelectric capacitor. Capacitance is the ability of a material to store an electrical charge. The article describes the first direct observation of a long-hypothesized but elusive phenomenon called negative capacitance. This property, if successfully integrated into transistors, could reduce the amount of power they consume by at least an order of magnitude, and perhaps much more, says the papers lead author Asif Khan. That would lead to longer-lasting cell phone batteries, less energy-consumptive computers of all types, and, perhaps even more importantly, could extend by decades the trend toward faster, smaller processors that has defined the digital revolution since its birth.

Ana Arias research group, Flexible Electronic Devices and Systems Laboratory has a paper published in Nature Communications titled All-organic optoelectronic sensor for pulse oximetry. Pulse oximetry is a ubiquitous non-invasive medical sensing method for measuring pulse rate and arterial blood oxygenation. Conventional pulse oximeters use expensive optoelectronic components that restrict sensing locations to finger tips or ear lobes due to their rigid form and area-scaling complexity. Prof. Arias group is developing a new organic optoelectronic sensor to create a device that could ultimately be thin, cheap and flexible enough to be slapped on like a Band-Aid during that jog around the track or hike up the hill.

In 1981, the year Steve and I left New York, they made a movie about the place we grew up: Fort Apache, the Bronx. It was a violent cop drama. The South Bronx wasnt pretty, it wasnt safe, and it wasnt where we wanted to be.
Fast forward to now. My husband and I emerge from the subway at Third Avenue and 138th Street to meet Lloyd Ultan, the septuagenarian borough historian and go-to guy for all things Bronx. We are excited to be back.
Ive asked Lloyd, an author of the forthcoming book The Bronx: The Ultimate Guide to New York Citys Beautiful Borough, to show us around this part of SoBro because of its little-known connections to the city weve lived in for 30 years: Washington, D.C.
I already feel a quirky geographical connection to a couple of famous Bronx-born Washingtonians. As a girl, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor lived at 940 Kelly St., a few doors down from future Secretary of State Colin Powell, at 952. Before either of them, though, my grandparents, father, aunt and uncles lived a few blocks down, at 851 Kelly, now a park.
The Bronx made all of us. But it also made two all-but-forgotten Founding Fathers and some of the most iconic structures in our nations capital.
Lloyd begins our journey in the heart of gritty, industrial Mott Haven, the place where the Bronx began. Standing in the shadow of the Major Deegan Expressway, we stop at a complex of red brick buildings on the west side of Third Avenue near the Harlem River and look up at a ghostly sign: J. L. Mott Iron Works. Jordan L. Mott, inventor of the coalburning stove, established a foundry here in 1828, giving the area his name and launching one of Americas earliest industrial parks.
Before World War I, German immigrants made the Bronx the piano manufacturing capital of the United States. The old Estey Piano company, housed in the landmark Clocktower building, is now home to artists studios.
The South Bronx may be, based on the 2010 Census, the poorest congressional district in the nation, but on Bruckner Boulevard, along a well-established Antiques Row, signs of gentrification are everywhere. A freshly painted mural on a new gallery advertises an exhibit of 1970s and 80s Bronx graffiti artists.
Across the street, scaffolding envelops a former furniture store being turned into market-rate apartments. The building sits on the site where the first European settler, Jonas Bronck, built his farmhouse in 1639. The only New York City borough attached to the mainland is named for the Swedish sea captain. I know that because I wrote a paper about him in third grade.

In SoBro, finding hidden ties to iconic Washington

The sun lay low in the Vietnamese sky. Steam rose from the damp jungle mulch. The only sound in the sweltering stillness was the buzzing of flies and gnats as they swarmed above Carlos Hathcocks body, collecting on his neck, probing the corners of his eyes, digging into the creases of his mouth. His knees and elbows were blistered and bleeding. His pants were soaked with urine. But Hathcock felt nothing, He had moved beyond feeling. He had climbed into the bubble, and he was ready for the kill.
For two days Hathcock and his partner Johnny Burke had crawled through ferns, mud and rotting leaves, silent as snakes, stalking their prey, a lone North Vietnamese army sniper. And now it had come to this, the two Marines lying flat on their stomachs, their eyes trained on the tree line across a grassy clearing. Burke saw nothing. But Hathcock, his body frozen, his right eye glued to the telescopic sight of his Winchester, his mind locked in on the hunt, caught a flash, a quick glint of angled sunlight bouncing off a point in the foliage.
He needed nothing more.In an instant the cross hairs of his scope were on the point of the light, and he squeezed the trigger.
Only when he reached the dead mans body did Hathcock realize that the NVA solider, too, had been zeroed in for the kill. The point of light had been the lens of the Asians rifle scope. Hatchcocks bullet had whistled cleanly into that lens, entering the mans head through his eye. Hathcock was alive for one reason: He had fired first.
____
One shot. One kill.
That is the snipers creed and no man in any war embodied it more than Gunnery Sgt. Carlos Norman Hathcock II. During two tours in Vietnam, he was credited with 93 confirmed kills. By Hathcocks own count, jotted in the dog-eared notebook he carried in his shirt pocket on each mission, the number was actually three times that. But some bodies were carried away by the enemy and others were obliterated by ensuing artillery fire. And some of Hathcocks kills were simply too extraordinary for his commanding officers to believe.
It was hard to believe a man could live in the Vietnamese jungle for days at a time, creeping through areas controlled by the Viet Cong, stalking and shooting unsuspecting enemy soldiers from distances that were rarely less than three football fields and were sometimes as far as 1 1/2 miles.
