Big Finish Alternate Cover (Classic Logo and Credits)
From the Manchester leg of the 2013 Men's Health Survival of the fittest series, moments before the black cloud dumped several tonnes of freezing cold hail on us. That sky is unretouched - it really was that black, and the guys on top of the wall were picked out briefly by a shaft of low November sun as they dragged their muddy, wet bodies over the final obstacle.

1895 – Birth and baptism
The Birth of a James Tolman was recorded in the Swaffham District of Norfolk in the January to March quarter, (Q1), of 1895.
His brothers name was difficult to establish from the Censuses – the most likely match from the birth records is a William Percival J Tolman whose birth was recorded in the Swaffham District of Norfolk in the October to December quarter, (Q4), of 1893.
Swaffham Civil District included the village of North Pickenham.
The baptism of a James Tolman, no date of birth recorded, took place at St Andrew, North Pickenham on the 11th February 1895. His parents were William Henry, a Farmer, and Alice Maud. This was a Private Baptism, so may have taken place at the couples home in North Pickenham, rather than in the church.

1901 Census of England and Wales
The 6 year old James Tolman, born North Pickenham, Norfolk, was recorded living at Farm House, North Pickenham. (On the Census schedule its next door to the Coach + Horses Inn). This was the household of his parents, William H, (aged 47 and a Farmer from Ellingham, Norfolk) and Alice M, (aged 34 and from East Bradendham, Norfolk). As well as James they also have another son K.P.J, (aged 7 and born North Pickenham). Also in the household is their niece, Lilian M Tolman, aged 8 and from Lt Cressingham, Norfolk.
1911 Census of England and Wales
The Tolmans were still living at North Pickenham. Parents William Henry, (57), and Alice Maud, (45), have been married 23 years and have had 6 children, of which 2 were then still alive. These were their two sons, N.J.L, aged 17 and James, aged 16. The column for their personal occupation is left blank, but both are then said to work in the Farming Industry. I suspect they were was then a recognised job, “Farmers Son”. Still in the household is the niece Lilian Maud Tolman.
1912 – Death of Alice Maud
The 1912 Probate Calendar records that an Alice Maud Tolman, of North Pickenham, Norfolk, wife of William Henry Tolman, died 25th February 1912. Administration was granted at the Norwich Court on the 21st March to the “said William Henry Tolman, farmer”. Her effects were valued at £110 3s.

FLESQUIERES HILL BRITISH CEMETERY
Location Information
Flesquieres is a village at the junction of the D92 and D89 roads, about 5 kilometres south-west of the main road from Cambrai to Bapaume.
Historical Information
Flesquieres village was attacked by the 51st (Highland) Division, with tanks, on the 20th November 1917, in the Battle of Cambrai, but held for a time by a German officer with a few men; it was captured on the 21st. It was lost in the later stages of the battle, and retaken on the 27th September 1918, by the 3rd Division.
Flesquieres Hill Cemetery was originally made by the 2nd Division, in 1918, behind a German cemetery ("Flesquieres Soldiers' Cemetery No.2"); but the German graves were removed after the Armistice to FLESQUIERES COMMUNAL CEMETERY GERMAN EXTENSION (which in its turn was removed, with 583 graves, in 1924). Plots III-VIII were created on the site of the German cemetery and in them were reburied 688 British soldiers from the battlefields of Havrincourt, Flesquieres, Marcoing and Masnieres and from a few other burial grounds, including:-
ABANCOURT COMMUNAL CEMETERY GERMAN EXTENSION (Nord), in which 38 British soldiers and four men of the Chinese Labour Corps were buried in 1917-18. (The four Chinese burials were re-buried in Ayette Indian and Chinese Cemetery).
HAVRINCOURT COMMUNAL CEMETERY, from which four British soldiers were taken to Achiet-le-Grand Communal Cemetery Extension and three to Flesquieres.
HAYNECOURT GERMAN CEMETERY, on the South side of the village, from which eight British graves were removed to Flesquieres and two to H.A.C. Cemetery, Ecoust-St. Mein, and 138 German to other cemeteries.
MASNIERES-CREVECOEUR ROAD CEMETERY, CREVECOEUR SUR-L'ESCAUT, where 13 New Zealand soldiers and seven of the Devons were buried in October, 1918.
MASNIERES GERMAN CEMETERY, South of Masnieres, used by the New Zealand Division for eleven burials in October, 1918.
RIBECOURT CHURCHYARD, in which four Canadian, one Australian and three British soldiers were buried in 1916-1917.
63RD DIVISION CEMETERY, between MARCOING and Villers-Plouich, made by the Royal Naval Division at the end of 1917, which contained 41 graves.
There are now over 900, 1914-18 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, over one-third are unidentified and special memorials are erected to five officers and men from the United Kingdom and two from New Zealand, known or believed to be buried among them.
CWGC: www.cwgc.org/find-a-cemetery/cemetery/35500/FLESQUIERES%2...
As part of the Centenary commemorations of the outbreak of the Great, the CWGC have been adding a number of original documents to their web-site. Particularly useful are the concentration reports – details of where individuals have been exhumed and re-interred elsewhere.
There is a concentration report for James. The bodies of 40723 Private J Tolman and 13406 Private A Kelmer of the 9th Norfolk Regiment were both found at map reference L.8.G.6.4. There was no cross on their graves but they were identified by their ID Discs. No other personal effects were recovered. The report was date-stamped March 1920. James was reburied in Grave VIII G.8, whilst Kelmer was reburied in VIII.G.6.
There is however no Private A Kelmer on CWGC, nor a soldier 13406 of the Norfolk Regiment.
A search for that serial number in the Medal Index Cards brings up only a Private 13406 George Cushing of the 8th Norfolk Regiment.
discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D2055467
In fact some diligent research work must have been done at the time – as the occupant of the other grave is now listed as Private 14396 Charles Calver, of Foulsham, Norfolk. Charles is recorded as having died on the 2nd December 1917.

2nd December 1917 – Battalion War Diary
There was constant hostile shelling all day, and infantry actions took place to the North and South. The enemy appeared to be very strong in artillery.
3rd December 1917 – Battalion War Diary
The shelling was incessant all day. Late in the afternoon the dispositions of the Brigade was altered. NOYELLES was more lightly held and the right was drawn back to present a defensive flank towards MARCOING. Bn H.Q. moved to the PILL BOX in the SUNKEN Road at L.9.d.5.2 and one company was kept at hand in the sand-pits L.16.a.75 90 Everything pointed to an eventual withdrawal from NINEWOOD. Since Nov.30th it had been clear to all that we held on to NINEWOOD and NOYELLES at our peril. Capt.T.FREDERICK M.C. and Lieut.M.C.COLLER were wounded.
Appendix V of the War Diary has a detailed list of the Battalions casualties. Private 40723 J Tolman is listed as Killed on the 2nd December 1917.
Postscript
According to the 1929 Probate Calendar, a William Henry Tolman who died on the 7th March 1929 lived at 62 St George Street, Beccles, Suffolk. Administration was granted at the Ipswich Court on the 28th March 1929 to William Percival John Tolman, Farmer. His effects were valued at £1,711 12s 6d.
Why? Survival of the Fittest? I'm an American. I can understand that. I believe it's actually revenge, though. We're stealing too many of your baseball players. Hideo Nomo signed with the Mariners and your design team tossed this in to thank us. My guess is that if the Yankees had signed Sadaharu Oh the F5 design would have included razor sharp edges on the eye cup and a rewind function that occasionally tasered the operator. Back in Japan the designers are all safely shooting with SP rangefinders and chuckling to themselves.
For those of you who haven't experienced the Nikon F5 Seizure Node, it's that little plastic nub on the top right side of the film chamber. Until I bought this camera I'd never experienced anything quite like it. You see, it's there to prevent the operator from being able to load film. It's not mentioned in any of the documentation I've seen, but I'm pretty sure in Nikon's internal correspondence it's referred to as the "film-loading prevention obstacle" (probably has its own kanji symbol that's supposed to look like a ruptured cranial blood vessel) and acknowledged as something that will cause a high mortality rate among photographers.
My assumption, and again I'm assuming because I've never seen this little horror actually acknowledged by anyone...but I'm assuming its stated purpose is probably to keep the NASCAR-approved high-torque motor-drive from ripping the film canister to shreds and dragging it across the shutter at the end of the roll. Or at the very least inhibiting its motion during continuous shooting.
The net effect, though...grrr...sorry, almost had a micro-seizure just thinking about it...the net effect is that in the dark a 135 film cassette just doesn't seem to fit into the film chamber. "Why for it no load?" As you can probably see my Seizure Node has some battle scars where I've tried to use brute force to insert the cassette into the chamber. "GET INTO THAT CAMERA!!!" I used Olympus OM cameras for about 30 years and they always seemed to want to be loaded.
Now, I know this isn't your ordinary camera. And I've actually become kind of fond of all its quirky interlocks. "Shashinski-san, to unload film please to release safety interlocks one and two. This rewind the film. Then please to release film-rewind-crank interlock. Otherwise this prevent you from lifting to open loading door." There's even an interlock to prevent you from switching on the camera unless you've first pressed the, "Hey, I understand that the power switch will activate the camera and I'm OK with that." button. The nothing-moves-without-approval design is very professional, if slightly confusing at first. Not as confusing as loading a Leica, but still pretty confusing.
Nobody moves 'till we say 'go'...GO! - Street Sweeper Social Club
This is all very frustrating for my round-peg-in-square-hole fumble-fingers. And I used to own a Pentax 67II and a Mamiya 7II, which I'd assumed were the most trying cameras to load that I'd ever experience in a darkened room. I was apparently wrong.
Possibly the fittest builders ever. It was Saturday and nobody was there so I didn't get to see if they lived up to the name.

Someone sent me this message. Can't agree with her more. Apparently, it was written during the Trump presidency. Unfortunately, Biden is even worse with his anti-China policies and hate crimes against the Chinese-Americans are getting worse.

This is the best time being a Chinese especially living in Hongkong.....
A very lengthy narrative from this HK born HK lady..... worth reading to understand the psyche of this enlightened lady...!
Personal story of a HK lady - "HONG KONG 2020 – LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT
I was born and raised in Hong Kong under British Colonial rule. We were groomed to have manners, respect our parents and teachers. We had discipline.
Did we complain? No. I think it was great training. I taught my kids the same way.
During the 60s and 70s, people in Hong Kong just focused on making money. Nobody paid attention to politics, it was not an option. Only very few top Hong Kong citizens got involved with law-making and execution.
Top Government posts were dominated by British Gwei-los (鬼佬). Did we complain? No.
Did we ask for democracy and voting rights? No.
It was simply unimaginable.
Some people now ask for return to the old days.
Do they really know what it was like?
747 landing at Kai Tak Airport in the 1970s.
Very different HK then.
By the early 80s, people started talking about 1997.
I remember in secondary school, our teachers said “ah, no worries, nobody really pay attention to the lease.
Life goes on.”
But people started paying attention, and the British and Chinese government started negotiations.
Then came June 4, 1989 (another long story), which recent events led many of us to believe that fake and manipulated news already started back then.
Which then led to the emigration wave of the early 90s. My parents emigrated to Canada, like the rest of their friends and relatives.
By then I was already in the US, completed my undergraduate studies, started law school and was all ready to settle in the US for the rest of my life.
We were a bit worried about Hong Kong and its future. We thought Communist China was such a scary place, poor and backward, no freedom and democracy. Must be hell to live there.
No way will I ever go visit, let alone live there. NEVER!!!
Beautiful San Francisco! I don’t miss it, but the years there shaped who I am today.
Then came 1997, Hong Kong did not sink under the ocean.
People who stayed were still there. My sister’s family lived there, life went on.
Then came the 1998 financial crisis, who’s fault? Irrelevant here, didn’t affect me.
Then came 911 in the US (2001), who’s fault? Let’s not go there.
It so happened my husband had been interviewing and received a job offer to go to Shanghai.
We figured the US economy would be in a ditch for quite some time post 911. He accepted the offer on September 11 and moved to Shanghai December 2001.
By 2001, I was married, with a set of 5 years old twins, and a good stable job.
But both my husband and I were not truly happy in the US.
We were NEVER discriminated against, we had good jobs, we voted and all that. But we never felt we belong there and did not really assimilate into main stream American life.
Fears of terrorism scared me. So when the opportunity to go China arose, I was quite open to consider it.
The fear of Communist China had dissipated, and we were hearing good things about the changes already happening there.
So kids and I followed in December 2003.
NEVER SAY NEVER!!!
Beautiful Shanghai!
My experiences in China made me a wiser, more resourceful and tougher person.
Shanghai was A M A Z I N G.
In the early 2000s, there was still a lot of construction. We settled in a nice apartment, kids in international schools (even with special ed support).
We were brave to invest in real estate (against all our friends’ warnings about risk and lack of RMB liquidity blah blah blah).
We travelled everywhere in China, and Asia, and went back to Hong Kong regularly.
Not for one second did we feel we had less freedom than when we were in the US.
Yeah yeah, FB, Google and Whatsapp were blocked, we just used VPN.
We even tested the legal system, won a lawsuit, and got compensated fairly.
Resourceful people can be anywhere.
Exploit the good and avoid the bad.
Survival of the fittest.
Which brings me to my next point.
There is no utopia on earth, and there is no perfect country or government that can ensure anyone’s wellbeing or happiness.
America has been practicing “democracy” for 200 years, and look who they elected for President?
Trump, arguably the worst head of state in history.
And see what a mess it was just this past election.
And we still want to follow them?
Please, really NEVER NEVER NEVER.
Democracy or 民主 in Chinese, really means rule by popular vote?
What if it’s 51-49? And you are part of the 49?
You would still be pissed right?
And your problems still unsolved, still no job, no car, no house, then what?
So “共产党 the Chinese Communist Party” sounds spine-chilling and blood-curdling, right?
Images of the Cultural Revolution and June 4 immediately comes to mind.
But even if those
were huge mistakes (arguable now with June 4), those events happened 60 and 30 years ago.
How come no one talks about the Japanese Nanjing Massacre or Hitler Concentration camps anymore?
Such selective memory.
Or is it because the media only choose to remind us of all the bad things China has done or may have done.
I choose to forget and forgive.
I choose to believe only what I see and experience myself.
I lived in the US for 20 years,
then Shanghai 15 years,
and now we have been back in Hong Kong since 2016.
I think I am qualified to compare because mine are real life first hand experiences.
In the US, I saw inefficiencies, chaos and frustration created by a so-called democratic system.
How many airports or infrastructure projects have the US completed in the past 30 years?
I also saw the lack of respect for authority, discipline or hierarchy justified by so-called rights of privacy, freedom and democracy.
When in China, I witnessed the sincerity and immense country-wide efforts of the entire Chinese nation during the 2008 Olympics and 2010 Expo, how they welcomed the whole world to China, showed the world how much they progressed and how ready and willing China was to become a responsible player in the new world order.
I also observed how an entire new generation of Mainland Chinese people, in all echelons of life, demonstrated such burning desire to excel, and as a result drastically improved their standard of living.
Now I am back in Hong Kong, my hometown, I see a society torn apart by political views.
People are either blue (pro-China) or yellow (anti-China).
Government efforts to encourage young people to find jobs in the Greater Bay Area (11 cities including Hong Kong and Macau in Southern China) or seniors to retire there, get bashed by reporters as efforts to “sell” Hong Kong or to deplete precious human resources from Hong Kong.
I am still so shocked when I hear these accusations.
Why are Hong Kong people so biased?
Maybe we left Hong Kong too many years, we don’t understand how they feel?
We were willing to move to Shanghai from the US in 2001 because we saw an opportunity, and we survived, very well.
It’s a “no-brainer” that China will do so much better than the rest of the world, post-COVID, and our young Hong Kong “talents” don’t see that.
I am appalled.
There is no utopia, yet any place can be utopia
Just take this COVID crisis and compare how the US and China handled the battle.
Yes, arguably there’s no “privacy” in China, but compulsory real-name authenticated phone numbers, facial recognition, CCTVs everywhere, quick complete lock down of communities and whole cities, compulsory testing and quarantine, enabled China to completely eradicate the virus in several months, with very few cases now, mainly imported.
Of course, there were some initial sacrifices, but the individual freedom and rights gave way to the greater good.
In the words of China’s foreign affairs spokeswoman, “Chinese people have never in recent history displayed a higher sense of happiness, pride, safety and security” and politely asked the CNN reporter to stop asking biased questions with no factual basis.
I cannot agree more.
China just wants to be left alone.
But God forbid China is now ahead in some areas like 5G technology.
There will be no end to accusations of China disturbing the world order and having aggressive intentions.
以小人之心度君子之腹 and 贼喊着贼 are two Chinese sayings that accurately describe what the US likes to do. (Google translate if you don’t read Chinese, but you may not get the exact connotation.
Learn Chinese or watch Mainland Chinese soap operas. 5000 years of wisdom there)
As a Hong Kong (SAR) Chinese citizen, I hold a passport that allows me visa-free entry into most countries in the world. I pay the lowest income taxes compared to most countries in the world, and zero capital gains tax.
I hold a Mainland Travel Permit that allows me to live and work in China with no restriction, and increasing benefits provided by the Greater Bay Area Plan.
We are the envy of all 1.4 billion people inside China who have to pay more taxes and receive less privileges and freedom to travel. And we all just take it for granted.
During this COVID crisis, the Hong Kong government pays for all medical costs associated with forced quarantine and confirmed cases admitted to hospitals. Even mild cases are admitted to hospitals and not just asked to stay home and get better like in most countries.
Hong Kong is and will always be an inseparable part of China.
Hong Kong has its own identity, it will always be special, like Shanghai and Beijing are special too.
Because of our history, we are fortunate to have choices.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with emigrating to US, Canada or UK. My generation has been there and done that. We have many friends and family happily settled in the US/Canada/UK, albeit they are frustrated because Trump makes their lives miserable too.
But those who choose to leave Hong Kong now because media and hallucinations lead them to believe that Hong Kong will decline and there will be no more freedom and rights blah blah blah, then I guarantee you, they will miss the best ride ever and regret it for the rest of their lives.
This is the best time in history to be Chinese, and to be in Hong Kong and China.
As far as I know, I am home. Home sweet home.
Beautiful Hong Kong.
Enjoying our retirement in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
Can’t wait for the high-speed train to run again."
At noon on Wednesday, February 22, a 15,000-pound shipping container descended from 30 ft. above Yonge and Dundas Square to reveal Reebok's new global campaign, The Sport of Fitness Has Arrived. Following the drop, a flash mob of 250 people filled the square and preformed an exciting fitness-inspired routine. CrossFit elite athletes, including the 2011 and 2010 Fittest Man on Earth, demonstrated a jaw-dropping CrossFit WOD (workout of the day).
The event was part of Reebok's global CrossFit campaign, recently launched in New York City and Paris, with London and Tokyo to soon follow. Toronto was the only Canadian city to reveal a launch within the international marketing campaign.

A shot from the first of this year's 3 Survival of the Fittest Races. I shot all 3 for Men's Health, same as last year, and had a fantastic time. It's a 10K obstacle course through the city centre, and here in Cardiff, a run up and down the stands of the millenium stadium, as well as this fantastic inflatable obstacle - it's like a bouncy castle for Grown Ups!
I try and light as many of the shots as possible, to give them more polish, although it does entail carting quite a lot of gear around the course. I've written a bit about that experience here if you're interested.
It's lit with an SB900 on camera, with a wide angle diffuser on, acting as a master to a pair of SB800's on a nano stand to camera left, on the opposite side of the inflatable triggered via CLS. This is almost the only time I use CLS, as I find I'm close enough to everything for it to work, and it definitely saves time when I've got to get round several locations in a couple of hours. The SB900 was set for something like 1/4 power, and the pair of SB800's more like 1/2, as I was blasting away fairly quickly and needed pretty prompt recycling.
