Disguising themselves as one of the Meanies' giant Apple Bonkers, they infiltrate a compound where all the musical instruments have been stored. After picking up the little Nowhere Man, they are propelled by an enormous sneeze through the sea of holes into occupied Pepperland. Setting off in the yellow submarine, the five adventurers embark on a "modyssey" that carries them through many strange realms: the sea of time, the sea of science, the sea of monsters, the sea of green, and the sea of holes. Upon arriving in Liverpool, Old Fred encounters Ringo and recruits the other Beatles (John, Paul, and George) to help save Pepperland. Old Fred, the conductor of the band, escapes to the Lord Mayor, who sends him for help in a yellow submarine. On a peaceful day in the happy kingdom of Pepperland, a concert by Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is interrupted by an invasion of the Blue Meanies, a horde of music-hating ogres who drain their victims of color with Splotch Guns and render them immobile by pelting them on their heads with huge green apples. ![]()

![]() ![]() There's no breakaway contest to play goalie for the Red Wings. There's no free throw contest to join the Lakers for a night. Really did not have the talent to play on the PGA Tour but had two great days, Monday qualified and I sent him a message and he missed the cut by 9 or 10, and he said it was the greatest week of his life. His name is Todd Balkin, Was a pizza manager, an assistant pro. I talk about a guy that played in the Byron Nelson a few years. But if you do, you can sign up for a qualifier to play in a PGA Tour event. You have to have a handicap of below 1.4. ![]() "You can be, quote unquote, an average Joe. "That's what I love is there's nothing like it in sports," French said of Monday qualifiers. That potential rags-to-riches story is unique to golf, French said. That underdog story appeals to French, who travels the country documenting Monday qualifiers and lower-profile events. While the Tour's top players might take a private jet from one tournament to the next, that's not the case for thousands and thousands of talented golfers trying to get into a Tour event or earn their card. I pull my camper to every event.' And it was great insight, kind of my aha moment of, 'These guys don't have it as good as a lot of people think.'" We were out on the Canadian Tour, and I said, 'What are you doing here?' And he's like, 'This is how I afford it. But we used to camp (when we were caddying), and we were in a public campground and I was brushing my teeth and a player came in. ![]() "I always say I knew the talent out there and how good these guys are that aren't on the PGA Tour, but I didn't realize the lifestyle they had to live in order to make this work, the financial ramifications and struggle of this," French said. French's love for those trying to break into the PGA Tour grew from his post-college caddying in the minor leagues. "I chose something that wasn't available, and Twitter suggested that one, and I was, like, 'Yeah, no one will care, so I'll just take that.'"ĭespite those modest expectations, French now has just shy of 135,000 followers on Twitter as he tracks one of the least glamorous aspect of professional golf - the Monday qualifiers, a stroke-play event before a pro golf tournament that awards top finishers entry into the field. "It's kind of an insight into how little expectations I had," French said of his Twitter handle. French jokes the handle ( is "the worst," but it has struck a chord with golf fans worldwide. French started a Twitter page in the summer of 2018 that has grown into one of golf's most popular follows. I'm very appreciative of what it is."Īnd what it is is minor-league golf. And six years later, somehow I'm sitting on this set, which is crazy. "I thought I would be home for six weeks or so. "I left my job to stay at home for a couple of weeks," French said. "And that gave me great insight," French said.įrench eventually got a regular job and was running a group of restaurants before his son got sick and required brain surgery at age 2-and-a-half. They went to golf's mini tours to be caddies. "My dad and I did a trip that a lot of people would never dream of," French said on Tuesday's NSN Daily. Ryan French did something similar, but he didn't head to Europe to backpack through The Old Continent. ![]() ![]() ![]() Orthodontic technology has improved in recent years and today’s braces are more comfortable and attractive than in the past.
![]() You will need to have a caesarean section if the baby that will be born first is in a breech position (their feet, knees or buttocks are presenting first). Your babies' position may determine whether they need to be born by caesarean section or vaginally. You’re nearly twice as likely to have a caesarean if you’re giving birth to twins, than if you’re giving birth to a single baby. Your doctor may also recommend a caesarean section later in the pregnancy because of potential complications. You may choose to have an elective caesarean from the beginning of your pregnancy. If contractions stop after your first birth, hormones will be added to your drip to restart them. If your second baby is in a good position, your waters will be broken and your baby should be born soon after the first, as the cervix is already fully dilated. They do this by feeling your abdomen (tummy) and doing a vaginal examination. Once your first baby is born, the midwife or doctor will check the position of your second baby. If you have a vaginal birth, you may need an assisted birth, which is when a suction cup (ventouse) or forceps are used to help you birth your babies. If you have had a previous caesarean section, discuss with your doctor whether you should have a vaginal birth with twins. However, there may be other medical reasons why this would not be possible. If the first twin is in a head down position (cephalic), it's usual to consider having a vaginal birth. This is because, if there are problems, it's easier and quicker to assist the delivery when the mother already has good pain relief. If you're planning a vaginal birth, your health team may recommend that you have an epidural for pain relief. The birth process is similar to giving birth to a single baby. Vaginal birthĪbout 1 in 3 of all twin births are vaginal births. You will be set up with a drip, in case it is needed later. To do this, an electronic monitor and a scalp clip might be fitted on the first baby once your waters have broken. While the process of labour is the same as when single babies are born, twin babies are more closely monitored. It's common for more medical staff to be involved in the birth of twins, such as a midwife, an obstetrician and 2 paediatricians - one for each baby. Your doctor or midwife will most likely advise you to give birth in a hospital because there's a higher chance of complications with a twin birth. ![]() You should also talk about whether you would prefer a vaginal or caesarean birth. Less than 1 in every 2 twin pregnancies continues beyond 37 weeks.īecause of the likelihood that your babies will be born early, there is a good chance one or both of them will spend some time in the special care ward in hospital.Īs twins are often born early, it's a good idea to discuss with your midwife or doctor where you should give birth. Twins are more likely to be born early, often before 38 weeks, so it's important to understand your birth options.

Which is great because now those reminders pop up on all of my devices. ![]() Tracks uses the iOS native reminders app to keep persistent reminders in front of you. The reminder feature on Tracks is second to none. ![]() You have the ability to set a "goal track" or a "consistency track" The progress tracking in this app is top notch. Tracks actually has the ability to read Scripture in the app, but the only translation available is the "Recovery Version." Tracks combines the functionality of the other two, but an ever so slightly extended feature set. I have a hard time finding an issue with that, though.Īs with Bible Reading Assistant, this app is also completely free. Unlike Bible Reading Assistant, however, you cannot pick which days of the week, it will just notify you each day at the same time. The only other feature that Daily Soul Bread brings to the table is, like Bible Reading Assistant, a push notification reminder that you can set for whatever time you would like. There's also a handy "check all" and "uncheck all" button for each book, making it easy to check off a whole book at a time, or uncheck everything when you get to the end and decide to do it all again! You simply scroll through the list of all 1,189 chapters of the Bible and check them off one by one as you read. It doesn't even complicate things with a choice of reading plan. Keep track of when you completed a sectionĭaily Soul Bread is basically just a checklist for your scripture reading journey.

No add-ons, no in-app purchases, not ad-supported, this app is completely and totally FREE! It's basically just a checklist that enables you to switch between checking off individual chapters and books, or checking off days in a traditional "Bible in a year" reading plan.Įach time you check off a chapter or "day" of reading, it dates it, so you can keep up with when you're reading and how much. The thing I love about this app is it's completely unadulterated simplicity. In no particular order, here are three favorites that I came across. In my quest to find such an app, I actually uncovered several. When I decided recently that my life didn’t include nearly enough time in the Bible, I realized that something that may help me stay motivated and accountable to myself would be an app that helped me keep track of how frequently I stayed in the habit. ![]() |
