Today was to be the last day of this section hike. I still had over 15 miles of hiking to make it to Goldhill Trailhead, and then to Breckenridge where my car was parked at the Bivvi Hostel. The morning was chilly but the sun was shining as I began to hike.
The closer I got to Breckenridge I started to notice thousands of down trees. There were criss-crossed tangled trees everywhere. It was real a blight on the landscape. Initially, I didn't know the cause. I thought maybe a new ski area was planned and the crew they sent to clear the mountain went a little overboard. Many of the trees were just on the side of the trail, but eventually someone started making what I assumed were pyres for burning. It really was shocking to see so much devastation.
As I was hiking through, I encountered some bikers who knew the cause. Evidently there has been a Mountain Pine beetle infestation. It is an epidemic which has covered over a million acres in both Colorado and Wyoming. The beetles burrow into the bark and lay eggs. As the eggs hatch, they eat the bark, thereby killing the tree. Very destructive.
I made it to Goldhill Trailhead which is still several miles from Breckenridge (Frisco is also accessible from here). Fortunately, not far away is a bus stop where I caught a free bus ride (which also goes to Frisco). It didn't go all the way to the hostel, but it was close enough. I had thought to stay at the hostel but I had not made a reservation and they were booked. (The Bivvi appears to be a very nice and clean hostel, but not just for hikers. All Breck visitors are welcome, so if you plan to stay, call ahead for a reservation.)
Overall, I was hiking for 7 days. I hiked segments 1-6 on the Colorado Trail. For anyone planning a long distance hike, these segments are a great introduction to the CT. Some difficult spots but some easy hiking as well. Awesome scenery without spending too much time above treeline. It was a great hike; I was ready for more!

In Newton, IA, there's a factory that makes towers for those giant wind turbines. They have a large storage yard next to the factory where they hold tower segments until they can be shipped. Different segments have different diameters, as indicated on the orange covers. The ones here are between 10 and 14 feet across - taller than an NBA basketball goal.

You’ve built a database of contacts whose demographics and needs vary significantly; now how do you use that list to ensure the right messages get to the right contacts? Here, we’ll introduce you to email segmentation in MailChimp and show you how to do it so you can send every contact the content that’s most relevant to them. Because emails sent using segments receive 100% more clicks than those sent without segmentation, this tool is critical for success.
What are email segments?
MailChimp allows you to create mailing lists based on the demographic information attached to each contact in your database and then send a marketing email only to the contacts on the list or lists you select.
Let’s illustrate with an example. If you sell shoes, your marketing efforts will be most successful if you customize your message to the age and gender of the contacts in your database. For this reason, you might create five mailing lists with five respective marketing campaigns:
Women ages 18-29 – share deals and new arrivals trending for teens and young women
Women ages 29-45 – share deals and new arrivals for women and children
Women ages 45+ – share deals and new arrivals trending for women
Men ages 18-39 – share deals and new arrivals trending for young men
Men ages 40+ – share deals and new arrivals trending for men
You might have more information in your database, such as your contacts’ primary purpose for subscribing (to grow their work wardrobe, for example), their purchase history, or their style. Use the information you have to make the most relevant and narrow lists possible; this helps you create a more customized message that feels unique to the reader.
The information available to you – and the information that matters most – will vary depending on your industry and the source of your contacts. A sporting goods store might customize their lists based on location, marketing ski gear to those in the mountains and surfboards to those on the coast. A carpet cleaning company may market differently to those living in apartments than it does to those living in homes.
How to Create Email Segments
To create your email segments, follow these steps:
First, create a list.
In your MailChimp account, navigate to Lists.
Click the “Create List” button.
When it prompts you to choose between a new list and subdividing your existing lists, click “Create List” again.
Fill in all required fields, including list name, from email address, from name, and a message describing how the user signed up to receive the email.
Take a look at the contact information for the list and make changes if necessary.
Choose single or double opt-in.
Choose your notification settings.
Click “Save.”
Create a segment. You can create a simple segment, which is based on just one condition, or a complex segment, based on two or more conditions.
Create a simple segment.
On the Lists page, select the name of the List you’d like to create segments for.
Click “Create a Segment.”
Choose the options from each drop-down menu that narrow down your segment as desired.
Preview the segment by clicking “Preview Segment.”
If you notice any errors, click “Edit.”
Once the segment meets your expectations, click “Save as segment.”
A pop-up box will require you to name the segment. Choose a name that helps you recall the rules applied, such as “Men over 40.”
Decide whether you want new contacts who meet the rules to be automatically added to the segment. If yes, check the auto-update box before clicking save. If not, leaving the auto-update box unchecked and save.
Create a complex segment.
Follow the rules to create a simple segment, but after step 3, click “Add” to add additional rules to your segment.
Key takeaways:
Email segments increase click rate by 100%

Day 9
Salida, CO to Avalanche Trailhead (Segment 13) to random campsite (Segment 12)
Darryll arrived on time with his son, Adam, and then we met Brenda and Satori at Princeton Hot Springs. They dropped off a car there. It took much longer to get to their trailhead. I was dropped off at Avalanche trailhead (once we found it) about 3 miles away. Thanks for the rides.
The climb from Avalanche was pretty tough but manageable, of course. My knee did start to hurt though. Brenda had given me some wrap to try which I will tomorrow. At the top it was not above treeline. Mount Yale was nearby. It looked like a nice place to camp.
The downhill was also tough but OK. I met 2 groups doing trail maintenance. Thanks for the Hard Work! One was at Silver Creek trailhead. I stopped and helped them move a rock and then I took a short break.
It started to rain, so I started hiking in Segment 12 now. The rain didn't last but maybe 5 minutes though. It was a long haul to the top, about 9 miles where I finally set-up camp. No other rain threatening until now. I actually though I might get a sunset. Oh well!
I did see a handful of hikers, so everyone didn't do the West side, which I would have suggested. 16.1 total miles for the day.
Audiência Pública para estimular contratos de aprendizes foi realizado na quarta-feira (4/5) em Porto Velho (RO), com a participação de empresários, instituições filantrópicas e segmentos da sociedade. A audiência está inserida na programação da Semana Nacional da Aprendizagem, promovida pelo Programa de Combate ao Trabalho Infantil e de Estímulo à Aprendizagem do Conselho Superior da Justiça do Trabalho (CSJT) e do Tribunal Superior do Trabalho (TST), em parceria com o Ministério Público do Trabalho (MPT) e o Ministério do Trabalho e Previdência Social (MTPS).
Trabalho Infantil em Rondônia
Segundo o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), nos anos de 2009 e 2010 Rondônia aparece em 1º lugar como maior utilização do Trabalho Infantil ilegal do país, o que levou o MPT14, o TRT14 , Ministério Público do Estado (MPE) e demais órgãos de fiscalização a fazerem um combate incessante para tirar o estado de Rondônia desse patamar.
Nas últimas estatísticas do IBGE, Rondônia já não aparece no 1º lugar, mas a realidade é drástica no Brasil. De acordo com a Pesquisa Nacional de Amostra por Domicílio - PNAD 2014 do IBGE existem 3,3 milhões de crianças e adolescentes em situação irregular de trabalho no país. Deste número, 2,7 milhões são adolescentes entre 14 e 17 anos. Ou seja, 84% dos jovens estão trabalhando e 60% deles exercem atividades ilegais e perigosas, principalmente em indústrias e na agricultura.
Semana Nacional da Aprendizagem
A Campanha instituída pelo TST, CSJT, foi realizada durante os dias 2 a 6 de maio e encampada pelos Tribunais Regionais do Trabalho, com objetivo incentivar e incrementar a ampliação do contrato da aprendizagem. Como parte da programação, foram realizadas audiências públicas em todos os TRT's, visando a ampliação da inserção do aprendiz no mercado de trabalho. São considerados aprendizes, adolescentes de 14 aos 24 anos de idade, que fazem um contrato especial, por escrito pelo tempo máximo de 2 anos de aprendizagem.
Alguns requisitos básicos são exigidos, como: estar cursando o ensino público ou privado; ou curso técnico profissional, visando no mesmo contrato as parte teórica e prática, proporcionando o ensino estar ligado diretamente à aprendizagem, o que torna determinadas atividades permitidas pela Lei e pela CLT à aprendizagem.
A Juíza do Trabalho, Tatiane David Luiz Faria, destacou que contrato da aprendizagem, é reconhecido jurídico e socialmente, e que o TRT da 14ª Região já atua no combate ao trabalho infantil, participando ativamente no incentivo a inserção do aprendiz ao mercado de trabalho. "A ampliação da utilização do contrato da aprendizagem tem uma vantagem social muito importante e beneficia toda sociedade já que tira o menor adolescente do trabalho ilegal, permitido por Lei e pela CLT. A 14ª Região Trabalhista atua de forma efetiva no combate ao Trabalho Infantil há vários anos", complementa a juíza.
"Nossa missão é enviar ao MPT, quais são as empresas que não estão cumprindo as cotas de aprendizagem, para fazer com que essas empresas cumpram a cota legal", argumentou a auditora fiscal do Ministério do Trabalho e Previdência Social (MTPS), Ana Caroline Baltazar Fonseca de Lima.
O procurador chefe do Ministério Público do Trabalho da 14ª Região RO/AC (MPT 14 RO/AC), Marcos Gomes Cutrim, falou que em Rondônia foram identificadas 300 empresas que não cumprem as cotas de aprendizagem e que na prática as empresas preferem esperar a fiscalização do Ministério do Trabalho, para tomar as providências. "Em 2015, conseguimos por meio das ações do MPT e MTE, incluir mais de 230 aprendizes só aqui em Porto Velho, então o objetivo da Semana da Aprendizagem é primeiro conscientizar, falar de algo que já é realidade e estabelecer meios para cobrarmos com mais intensidade o cumprimento das cotas de aprendizagem pelas empresas", argumenta Cutrim.
A supervisora da Unidade de Porto Velho do Centro de Integração de Empresa Escola (CIEE), Caroline Gonçalves Araújo, vislumbra a efetividade da campanha que tem cunho de incentivar às empresas na contratação da mão de obra do aprendiz. O CIEE é uma instituição é filantrópica e atua a 52 anos no Brasil com os programas de estágio e há 15 anos com programa de aprendiz, e tem parceria com aproximadamente 200 empresas que contratam mais de 600 jovens, que trabalham quatro horas por dia, quatro dias por semana e uma vez na semana participam de curso ."Nós acreditamos realmente que o programa vai contribuir para mudar a vida dos jovens, e que as empresas que participarem do programa vislumbre o talento deles e possam dar efetividade na contratação do profissional", ressalta Caroline.
A coordenadora do Fórum Estadual do Combate ao Trabalho Infantil em Rondônia (FEPETI/RO), Carmelita Domingues falou que o trabalho do aprendiz, é necessário, que produz cidadania, que segue um dos requisitos básicos de manter o jovem na escola. " Nossos jovens têm abandonado a escola por falta de interesse e por falta de oportunidades, quando ele é chamado para participar em programa deste, ele ganha perspectivas, nada melhor que boas perspectivas para tornar esse jovem mais produtivo", conclui .
Concomitante com a Audiência, foi realizada uma feira expositiva, o que possibilitou as empresas se manterem informadas dos produtos oferecidos com objetivo de facilitar o cumprimento das cotas de aprendizagem. Participaram da feira o Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Comercial (SENAC), CIEE, Rede Nacional de Promoção Social, Aprendizagem e Integração (RENAPSI), Federação das Indústrias do Estado de Rondônia (FIERO), Sistema Nacional de Emprego (SINE) e o TRT14 distribuindo cartilhas informativas.
A mesa foi composta pelo procurador chefe do Ministério MPT 14 RO/AC, Marcos Gomes Cutrim, Juíza do TRT 14, Tatiane David Luiz Faria, Auditora fiscal do MTPS, Ana Caroline Baltazar Fonseca de Lima, procurador da Infância e Juventude do Ministério Público Estadual (MPE), Marcelo Oliveira, coordenador de Infância e Juventude do Tribunal de Justiça de Rondônia (TJRO), José Ricardo da Silva, coordenadora do FEPETI/RO, Carmelita de Domingues e secretária municipal de Assistência Social (SEMAS), Maria do Socorro Leite.

There were several types of mammoth, all members of the elephant family. Most widespread was the Woolly Mammoths, which ranged across all northern continents and grew a very long, thick, hairy coat to keep out the bitter cold of the recent Ice Ages.
The woolly mammoth was roughly the same size as modern African elephant. Males reached shoulder heights between 2.7 and 3.4 m (9 and 11 ft) and weighed up to 6 tonnes (6.6 short tons). Females averaged 2.6–2.9 metres (8.5–9.5 ft) in height and weighed up to 4 tonnes (4.4 short tons). A newborn calf weighed about 90 kilograms (200 lb).
The woolly mammoth coexisted with early humans, who used its bones and tusks for making art, tools, and dwellings, and the species was also hunted for food. It disappeared from its mainland range at the end of the Pleistocene 10,000 years ago, most likely through climate change and consequent shrinkage of its habitat, hunting by humans, or a combination of the two.
The teeth of a mammoth consist of a series of plates composed of enamel surrounding a dentine core. These are held together in a matrix of dental cement.
Each tooth erupted from the back of the jaw and slowly moved forward as it wore, to be replaced by another tooth from behind. The thickness and number of tooth plates are important identification criteria.

Day 3 Sargents Mesa (Segment 16/17) to random campsite (Segment 17)
Thermometer said 38f this morning but it felt colder. Probably wasn't though. Lots of activity in Sargents Mesa last night. Heard elk bugling often and thought I heard a dog at least once. Definetly heard some coyotes around 5 or 6. They sounded close.
Today was anticipated to be dry so I carried alot of water. Usually the pack gets lighter the longer you're out due to lightening the food bag. However, when you have to carry extra water you don't realize that benefit. I met some hunters who gave me an extra bottle of water and took my trash. They actually knew what trail magic was and it was very much appreciated!
If you spend enough time hiking, it is inevitable that you will eventually take a tumble. There were alot of rocks today and I did fall while hiking downhill. No injuries though.
A possible water source at Razor Creek was dry where trail crossed but I found a small pool upstream several hundred feet. I was able to dip and fill 32 oz bag. Enough for a hot meal and some extra for tomorrow. I continued hiking but once again stopped early for dinner around 3. Freeze dried spaghetti was on the menu. Typical freeze dried meals are more expensive but easier to prepare. They are also better tasting than tuna packets and creamy noodles of some sort.
After dinner, I made it up and over a few more bumps. Kinda steep but not too long. I found a campsite maybe 1/2 mile before where I planned to stop. A few hikers passed by quickly in search of water.
While hiking 15.4 miles today, the temp got up to 80. Nice increase from the morning.
