_The Evening Post_, 25 November 1924:
          MEDICAL OPINION
TRACK EVENTS HARMFUL TO
                 WOMEN
   “NOT AN OPINION AT ALL.“
                      ——
  Some time ago the New Zealand Amateur Athletic Association had a discussion on the question of the effect of track events on #women, and decided to write to the New Zealand branch of the British Medical Association asking for an opinion. The reply was somewhat brief, stating: “The committee, while favouring all reasonable athletic exercises for women, is of the opinion that competition by them in track events is harmful.”
  Mr. E. C. Guy stated that the opinion was no opinion at all. No opinion was expressed as to the length of the track events that would be harmful or anything else.… Mr. H. Amos said the opinion… was the best that could be obtained… Mr. F. Wilton… moved that the inclusion of a 100 yards championship for women in the New Zealand meeting be discouraged.… he was very anxious not to be associated with any movement to cause harm.…
          HERE TO STAY
  Messrs. Guy and Taylor spoke against it. The latter said the women competitors were here to stay, and they would have races whether the association banned them or not.…

Why is it now necessary to #stage a #house for a #photo shoot before #selling? Actually this is rhetorical. I know that people now spend more time looking at #decoration than they do on whether there's #risingdamp or a nasty crack down the side of a #chimney. Everything has to be like a #TV #show & all the TV shows have to be #competitions. Am I living in the #TrumanShow? I'd like an #escape plan & a speedy return to #reality.

"What I learned from judging a photo competition"

makertube.net/videos/watch/23c

I was asked to judge a competition for a camera club, and that’s pretty much where it all went wrong. This video takes a look at why I'm really not well suited to competition judging, and why "intention" is so important to creativity. Plus a side serve of ICM thrown into the mix!

Some of #NASA's most important traditional space contractors, including #LockheedMartin, #Boeing, and #NorthropGrumman, have all said they are reconsidering whether to participate in fixed-price 💵 contract #competitions in the future. #SpaceX did not just win on price. Its "mission suitability" score, effectively its technical ability to design, develop, and fly a vehicle capable of deorbiting the #SpaceStation, was 822, compared to Northrop's score of 589 📊 arstechnica.com/space/2024/07/

Ars Technica · SpaceX just stomped the competition for a new contract—that’s not greatNASA wants a "robust" commercial space community. But it has a long way to go.
