Would You Cop Any Of These Yeezy 500 Colourways?
With the first global release now out of the way, it’s time to look ahead at some of the next colourways for the Yeezy Desert Rat 500.
‘Super Moon Yellow‘ is thought to be launching this May, followed by ‘Utility Black‘ over the summer, but what else has Kanye got in store for this chunky runner?!
Using some imagination (and photoshop), these concepts courtesy of @yeezyseason2 give an imagined look at potential styles for the chunky dad sneaker.
Would you like to see any of the above become reality? Leave us a comment below and let us know your favourite Desert Rat concept.
Despite the controversy surrounding this silhouette, all sizes sold-out of the Yeezy 500 Blush during the global launch on Saturday. With it being a completely new and radical design, it’s hardly surprising to see such a divided response.
That said, for those of you that do appreciate the contemporary lines of the 500, sizes are selling for close to retail on eBay.
You can also keep it locked to @thesolerestocks for links to any and all restocks as they go live. | 2019-04-22T18:35:12 | https://thesolesupplier.co.uk/news/would-you-cop-any-of-these-yeezy-500-colourways/ |
JD Wetherspoon currently operates 900 pubs throughout the UK which are a mixture of Wetherspoon and Lloyds No.1 brands.
Our logistics consultancy was first appointed in 2010 to evaluate the capacity of the National Distribution Centre at Daventry.
The NDC was already operating at capacity during peak periods; we recommended the opening of a second distribution centre in Manchester and optimising the layout of the Daventry facility to fulfil the businesses short term needs.
Recently we have been asked to implement these changes.
We are currently running the tender process and property search of a new NDC in the North West, whilst project managing the implementation of improvements in the Daventry facility.

Nick Cannon’s “Wild’N Out” just wrapped shooting on its Season 12 for MTV and apparently, it went out with a bang…or a Banks.
Normally outspoken and always opinionated rapper Azealia Banks was the celebrity guest for the finale and hopped on the mic to rattle off some roasts for the improv show which pits teams of comics toe-to-toe in a rap battle.
Show creator Cannon didn’t seem to have much sympathy for Banks in a responding post after she slammed him as “weak” for having Lupus.
There were a few who backed up Banks and argued that Wild ‘N Out does go too far, usually zeroing in on darker skinned participants. Banks argument is that White girls don’t get called ugly on the show.
If Banks’ was hoping all the fuss would make Cannon shelved the episode, she may not understand publicity anymore than she understood how a roast works. All the negative comments and posts are nothing more than advertising gold for the show.
What do you think…is Banks just being too thin skinned? Or does Cannon’s show seem to have it in for darker skinned sisters and brothers?
I treasure the info on your websites. Appreciate it!
I appreciate the information on your site. Thanks.
You’ve got superb stuff these.
What’s up with the self hatred and color jokes?? I thought we were past that!!
No comment, except that those mean people need to ease up off of Azealia Banks and cut her some slack! Seriously, dude! | 2019-04-25T22:39:27 | http://thereelnetwork.net/azealia-banks-if-you-cant-stand-the-heat-dont-go-on-wild-n-out/ |

When you’re designing learning experiences, long-term memory is your ultimate destination. It’s the promised land—where you want newly learned content and skills to find their place.
So shouldn’t we be more familiar with the characteristics and dynamics of long-term memory? I think we need a user’s guide.
Long-term memory (LTM) is a hypothetical construct. Although you won’t find a matching structure in the brain, it’s a helpful mental model to think of long-term memory as a dynamic yet permanent store of information.
Rather than being a distinct structure, researchers have found regions in every lobe of the brain that store and retrieve memories of facts and events.
We are usually referring to long-term memory when we talk about remembering something.
Long-term memory encompasses three operations: encoding, storage and retrieval. These are all examined below.
Long-term memory is more than a knowledge archive. It provides the background information that we need to understand the world by bringing relevant knowledge into working memory as it’s needed.
Cognitive psychologists think of long-term memory as divided into two broad types. Explicit memory, also called declarative memory, consists of memories we are aware of or conscious memories. Implicit memory, also called nondeclarative memory, is unconscious. It consists of memories used without our conscious awareness.
Explicit memory (the conscious kind) consists of semantic memory—memory for facts and knowledge about the world—and episodic memory—memory for personal experiences.
There are several types of implicit memories (the unconscious kind). Most relevant to training is procedural memory. This is our memory for doing things that usually require action. When use a mouse on the computer or dial a phone number we are not consciously aware of the memories that enable us to perform these skills.
It is unknown how long information in long-term memory can last. It could be stored indefinitely. Think of the older people you know who are experts in their field or who remember details of their childhood. Some information appears to last forever.
It is equally unknown how much information long-term memory can store. In practical terms, think of long-term memory as having an infinite capacity because it never gets used up.
The time it takes to access information in long-term memory is thought to be 200 milliseconds or .200 second.
When information is transformed and “written” to long-term memory it is known as encoding. There are varied strategies that instructional designers and learners can use to improve encoding. See the Strategies below.
Information in long-term memory is most likely stored in network-type structures called schemas. Schemas are an efficient way to organize interrelated concepts in a meaningful way.
When we learn or experience something new and connect it with previously stored information, the process is known as assimilation.
Sometimes we learn something new or have experiences that don’t fit in with existing schemas. We then alter existing schemas or create new ones in a process is known as accommodation.
Retrieval is the process of activating and using information from long-term memory. Retrieval is facilitated through retrieval cues, which is any stimulus that helps us recall information from long-term memory.
Some cognitive psychologists think that not being able to remember something is more a failure of not having the right cue than the fact that the information is not present in long-term memory.
Recognition memory is almost always better than recall. Recognition involves determining whether you’ve seen something before. With recall, you have to generate the remembered information.
Memories are more than a simple construction of recalled information. Rather, what we recall is influenced by attitudes, beliefs and previous experiences. So memories are reconstructed events.
The transfer of information into long-term memory is facilitated by elaboration or elaborative rehearsal. Some elaboration strategies include: thinking of related ideas or examples of the content, mentally tying the information together or creating a mental image of the information. Course designers and instructors can encourage this behavior.
Most likely, retrieval is improved when the type of elaboration used for encoding matches the type of task required for retrieval.
Making purposeful connections and associations with prior knowledge improves transfer to long-term memory. Many designers and instructors use this strategy and it is one of Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction.
Organizing information, such as categorizing it into subsets, can facilitate retrieval. Many people do this spontaneously and instructional designers spend a great deal of effort at organizing information into meaningful chunks.
Retention is improved through distributed practice across multiple study sessions rather than concentrating the same amount of practice into one session. This allows information to be consolidated into memory over time.
People can recall facts better when the facts are associated with a personal experience. Pairing semantic memories with episodic memories facilitates learning.

Thank you Ms. Malamed for this LTM user guide. I am just beginning a formal education in Instructional Design & Technology and this was a great overview to why we need to understand what long term memory is. There are so many ideas and strategies to provide effective learning that it is exciting and confusing all at the same time. The goal: finding a way to create and present meaningful information so it will find a final resting place in a person’s long term memory. When you have designed courses in the past how have you encouraged the elaboration process? Are there specific techniques you have that help to pair the semantic memories with the episodic memories the learner may have?
Thanks again for this information. I look forward to following your blog.
I recently started my journey in obtaining my Masters degree in Instructional Design and Technology. While I have known there are blogs out there I have recently started following blogs to help further my knowledge of IDT.
This week in our class we are focusing on learning processing and that “all learning involves forming associations between stimuli and responses” (Ormrod, Schunk, & Gredler, 2009, p.49). Your “User’s Guide to Long Term Memory” has helped me to understand this better. Our reading this week showed that “LTM depends on frequency and contiguity” (Ormrod, Schunk, & Gredler, 2009, p.68). Personally, for me, “the more often that a fact, event, or idea is encountered, the stronger is its representation in memory” (Ormrod, Schunk, & Gredler, 2009, p.68). Whether it’s auditory or visual the more contact I have with the information the more likely I am to be able to remember it for the long term.
Until now I did not realize there were so many different types of memory. Along with short-term and long-term memory there are also episodic, semantic, declarative and procedural memories which we reviewed this week. Episodic memory includes information that is personal that an individual can relate to a specific time and place. A good example of episodic memory is me remembering exactly what happened Easter of 2007 because I had to put my dog of 19 years to sleep that same weekend. Semantic memory “involves general information and concepts available in the environment and not tied to a particular context” (Ormrod, Schunk, & Gredler, 2009, p.68) Semantic memory is represented best by the specific facts learned, for example learning the words to the “Pledge of Allegiance”. Procedural memory is memory used for learning a new language such as Italian. The best way to learn is constant repetition. And finally there is declarative memory which “involves remembering new events and experiences” (Ormrod, Schunk, & Gredler, 2009, p.69).
Up until know I feel I have been naïve in regards to memory. I though that memory was just memories and did not realize that there was so many different categorizations for memories. Understanding these different types of memory will assist in the encoding process and improve “memory because items are linked to one another systematically” Ormrod, Schunk, & Gredler, 2009, p.70).
I’m looking forward to more great articles in the future!
You have proven to be a reliable and informative source for many including myself. I’m a student who’s new to Instructional Design. I find your Strategies to Enhance Encoding and Retrieval informative. Particularly #24, distributing practice across multiple sessions to improve retention.
Recently, I made a conscious effort to try to manage my time better by using the Pomodoro technique. It was developed by Francesco Cirillo in the 1980s and the practice suggests that tasks are worked on in 25 minute segments with short breaks in between each segment and then a longer break after four consecutive 25 minute segments.
I used this approach to prepare for a self study exam and found it to be quite effective. Essentially, it’s the same approach by a different name. 🙂 I will be sure to consciously incorporate the other strategies in my everyday activities.
Thanks for sharing the technique that works for you. I’m sure others will benefit from it too.
One technique I would add to enhance retention would be to purposely design emotion into our learning experiences.
Whole-brain learning or Brain-based learning theories suggest that learning and retention are enhanced when some form of emotion is present, similar to Heather’s example above when she had to put her dog to sleep.
Adding emotion like humor, surprise, sad or touching stories can all help drive learning home and stamp it more firmly into the brain.
When I think back to the most impactful conferences and workshops I’ve attended, I remember times that the presenter told emotion-laden stories or was able to make me FEEL something. Funny how it works but somehow the emotion and the cognition together engage more of the brain and make the imprint deeper.
This is a great addition. Thank you so much. For those who are interested, please see my three-part series on Emotion and Learning.
Wow, didn’t know those were there. Beautiful series! Your website is just full of great stuff Connie! I love it.
I am curious if anyone knows of a good single source of information that provides tips about what instructional designers can do to help facilitate the movement of information from the sensory memory to the working memory.
I know there are multiple ideas and basic concepts, including stuff like “obey the basic rules of visual design” and “keep things simple for instructional value,” but I wondered if anyone knows of a single book or websites that compiles a bunch of useful tips? There’s a lot of focus on how to aid encoding and how to aid retrieval, and that emphasis is logical, but I can’t seem to find this earlier, also important information in a single source.
That’s a great question, Jeff. In my book, Visual Language For Designers, I have a specific chapter that might help. The chapter I’m thinking of is called “Organize For Perception” and it discusses research related to aid quick perception and drawing attention through attributes that pop-out and through grouping. Now, you may find the Gestalt Laws of Perception helpful too, perhaps, though they might not frame it in the same way. The chapter on Reducing Realism might possibly help too.
Thanks for sharing my articles. I should let you know that I do not have a PhD and I’m not a Dr. — though it does have a nice ring to it. I have a Masters Degree in Instructional Design and Technology.
Thank you for sharing and outlining a user’s guide for long-term memory, in my profession as an instructional designer it is important that we gain a basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the brain that can propel us to think differently about how people learn. Instructional designers and educators need to figure out how to encode or consolidate information so learners can process transferring information from STM to LTM.
Moving information into LTM primarily takes place through a process called elaboration. When I think about teaching learners, I need to know what they already know so that they can relate the new information to their existing knowledge. This is elaboration. While teachers can do some of that for learners, elaboration is an active process. The learner must be actively engaged with the material that is to be learned (Orey, 2001).
As instructional designers, we can design learning programs to make learning relevant and meaningful enough for the learner to make the important transfer of information to LTM. On the job, my project team of instructional designers chunk information when designing learning programs. We found from experience that overloading the content was overloading the learner’s brain in retaining the information. Chunking enhances the STM transfer to LTM. Remember, STMs capacity is limited to about six to nine items. Chunking allows the brain to group certain items together that can help our learners remember and improve their learning process.
When you’re designing learning experiences, long-term memory is your ultimate destination. It’s the promised land—where you want newly learned content and skills to find their place…. | 2019-04-19T11:07:43 | http://theelearningcoach.com/learning/long-term-memory-and-learning/ |

In a recent article in National Defense Magazine about the U.S. Air Force’s challenges of efficiently developing and deploying space technology, ASP Director of Strategy and Communications Paul W. Hamill urged the military to rethink its decades old business model.
We have a system right now where we have big, one-off, specialized satellites that need huge rockets and engines to get them up there… We need to move away from that model.
Let’s get smaller stuff up that can do bits of everything because let’s face it, if we have a state actor or non-state actor shoot one of these down, it’s not easily replaceable. If you shoot three down, we’re in serious trouble.
The military side of space issues and launch capabilities are stuck in the early 1990s. We’ve actually got private companies out there who can do this. Industry and the private sector have moved on. It’s the public sector who haven’t. | 2019-04-26T14:34:26 | https://www.americansecurityproject.org/hamill-u-s-needs-to-rethink-its-space-business/ |

the last fabulous video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVxviqUn3Qg gaben!!!!
I chose umbrella by Beyonće because it was my brothers bbirthday during half term and it was the number one single when he was born.
My first post was completely wrong it’s ment to be umbrella by Rihanna because it was my brothers birthday during half term.
How do i link my song???
I chose the song story of my life by one direction because i got to see my sister for the first time in moths to see her on her birthday also i looked through old family photos and videos.
I chose the song where are you know by Justin Bieber not because of the lyrics but because of the song and the way that it’s calm and then gets more upbeat and then it’s calm again and so on. This represents my half term especially because I had some days where I didn’t do anything and others where I did something.
I chose paradise by Coldplay because I went to the beach and it was so sunny that it felt like paradise!!
Sorry miss i did not have time to write on the piece tof paper in the end.I chose hallelujah by Alexandra Burke.I chose this to represent my pgl trip because when i went there all the activities where fun and i just think this song is perfect for pgl. But then also i chose it because i just felt proud that i accomplished the activities and i think the song represents that in her lyrics.
I choose Ive had the time of my life because i went to pgl in half term and i had so much fun and i wanted to express that with this song!
I chose my song seasons in the abyss because it is slow at the start and end and frantic in the middle just like my half term. | 2019-04-22T04:07:06 | https://mrsgowersclasses.wordpress.com/2015/06/09/gm-music-that-reminds-us-of-12-term/ |

The Page 99 Test: Mary Stockwell's "Interrupted Odyssey"
No one could deny that Ely Samuel Parker, President Ulysses S. Grant’s Commissioner of Indian Affairs, was a remarkable man. Born in 1828 on the Seneca’s Tonawanda Reserve, he was named his tribe’s official spokesman when he was just eighteen. Five years later, he was chosen as the Seneca’s Grand Sachem. He studied law and helped argue a case in the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of his people. He negotiated a treaty with the government that allowed the Seneca to stay in Tonawanda, making them one of the few eastern tribes that avoided removal across the Mississippi. He studied engineering, and found work first on the Erie Canal and later as the superintendent of lighthouses on the Upper Great Lakes. In 1860, Parker moved to Galena, Illinois to oversee the construction of a customhouse and naval hospital. There he befriended a quiet young man who worked as a clerk in his father’s leather goods store. He was Ulysses S. Grant who would soon win fame as a Union general in the Civil War. Shortly after Grant’s victory at Vicksburg, Parker became his military secretary. When Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox, Parker wrote down the surrender terms. In 1869, when Grant was sworn in as president, Parker became his commissioner of Indian affairs.
But for all his success, Commissioner Parker, on the morning of January 17, 1871, as described on Page 99 of Interrupted Odyssey: Ulysses S. Grant and the American Indians, refused to get out of bed. He was hiding there so he would not have to testify before a special committee of the House of Representatives that was investigating him for corruption. Parker had been accused of negotiating an unnecessary million dollar contract to supply the Sioux on the Upper Missouri in June 1870 and then pocketing most of the money for himself. The charges were baseless but that did not stop his political enemies, who hated him as the “savage” whom Grant had chosen to run the Indian service, from doing everything in their power to oust him from his post. By removing Parker, they hoped to overturn the Indian policy that Grant had carefully crafted with the help of his Seneca friend. The president had planned to move the Indians to reservations where the army would protect them from the onslaught of settlers. Working at their own pace, over a generation or two, the tribes would learn modern ways to support themselves and so enter the American mainstream as citizens of the United States.
Parker finally worked up the nerve to face the House panel. While he was exonerated, his reputation was ruined and he soon resigned his position. Without an ally like Parker at his side, Grant watched as his Indian policy came undone. A succession of Commissioners of Indian Affairs took over but none of them had the vision that Parker had provided. They de-emphasized the goal of American citizenship for the Indians and instead argued that Grant was maintaining the peace like no President before him. Their optimistic claims exploded when the Far West descended into worst Indian Wars in American history, including the Modoc War in 1873, the Red River War in 1874, and the Great Sioux War in 1876. While Grant never discussed his Indian policy after leaving office, Parker could never forget its failure. Until the day he died, he would always remember that terrible January morning when the policy that he had developed with Ulysses Grant, along with their friendship, began to unravel past all repair. | 2019-04-20T22:20:58 | https://page99test.blogspot.com/2019/01/mary-stockwells-interrupted-odyssey.html |

You wouldn't think a page of two heads talking would be all that difficult to write, but this page actually went through a LOT of drafts before the final version. See, the original idea for this page was to view Layla and Trigger from BEHIND, meaning that we could actually see Tabitha and Stilez in the background the whole time. The joke then would be how long it'd take Layla to finally notice them and react. Of course, it wasn't long before I realized that having the payoff be "Showing this gratuitous fanservice is entirely inappropriate!" ...but still showing the fanservice anyway would be kinda sorta really hypocritical (We save that stuff for the Voting Incentives, thank you very much). So, flip the viewpoint around and have the belly rubs happening outside the frame. Right? Well, after I did that, I realized the dialog I'd originally written wasn't, well, very funny on it's own. I had to WILDLY redo Trigger and Layla's reactions to make them entertaining all on their own. All this for a page that, in the end, is just two talking heads.
Also, Trigger's dialog has a distinct Ralph Wiggum feel.
Finally, I mentioned this when I edited the previous page, but I'll say it again here: there's no "new" Voting Incentive today, mostly because the "old" one was several days late, and thus is hardly all that old yet (and since it turned out unusually well, I kinda want to make sure everybody gets a chance to see it). Also, seeing as how getting Incentives done has been more and more of a problem lately, I wanted to give myself some time to build up at least a BIT of a backlog of the things. Hopefully, that means Friday will be back to normal... well, better than normal, actually.
What is this I see on the distant horizon? It's an entire armada of Ships approaching!
I think partly why Layla is so worked up about people seeing what Tabitha and Stilez are doing, is that the person seeing it is Trigger.
I think she likes trying to keep him all "innocent" and stuff. Looking out for her adopted little brother, and all.
Also, nice to see that Trigger followed her. He likes looking out for his adopted sister, too.
Maybe they'll take Bridget with them when they leave. | 2019-04-18T11:17:10 | http://faroutthere.smackjeeves.com/comics/2307256/page-840-viewer-discretion-advised/ |
I become disproportionately-distressed when people (both in person, and via any media channel) appear as if they intend to make tabulated comments during their supposedly-reasoned discourse, and then constantly fail to so do.
So they will always start, eg by interjecting ordinally "ONE!" or "Firstly!", or my especial dislike, the initial letter "A!" getting shouted-out, in preparation for a listed set of statements that never arrives.
But the coup de grâce (for me) is when they do that thing with their hands....that weird over-bendy wrist-pivot, where one of their fingers (in fact, usually the thumb) gets used to tabulate the first point.....and they then go on to NEVER complete that sequence. Or even increment it (admittedly, one in 50 might get to 'Two!', but have you ever seen someone make it, appropriately-enough, all the way up to five?).
I know it's just a conventional reaction, to pressure and stress. Disordered thought is an inevitable aspect of human psychology. But this is a real trigger for me. It's so annoying...people are much-more effective when they just talk, rather than subconsciously feeling they need to make some kind of quasi-formalised style structure.
And that "word"....my name for the phenomenon. It's been in my head for 45yrs or so, but it is clumsy. I said on the forum ages ago (thinks: mid 2017?) that I was going to share this word....a name for something specific many of you will have seen, but been unable to put a word to. But I bet most of you won't find it as....unsettling, as I do.
...C) we shouldn't be doing it anyway."
Ah, but at least he does increment, albeit in a semi-sequential series.
It's those in the guilty majority that I have a problem with. As soon as they start, they're commited to continuing, and they never rarely damn-well ever do it.
Hang 'em all, I say. From the highest yard-arm. Until they say sorry.
This happens a lot, particularly when people are being interviewed on Radio 4. It's because the interviewer constantly interrupts and won't let the other person finish.
The fact that you can remember such a word for forty five years is worthy of a medal in itself.
..It's because the interviewer constantly interrupts and won't let the other person finish. ..
That is a very annoying trait. I admire those interviewees who break in and say things like 'if you don't want to hear my answer, why ask the question'?
It's a semigooglewhack - if that's the correct term for when you enter about one search term and it returns about one result.

The longest running network series in radio history, the Breakfast Club was emblematic of the freewheeling style of the golden age of Chicago broadcasting. Almost two years after its 1933 debut, host Don McNeill decided that scripts interfered with the informal atmosphere he wanted. NBC’s executives reluctantly agreed to an ad-libbing experiment that continued on the air, five mornings a week, until the show’s final broadcast, on December 27, 1968.
The hour-long broadcast was divided into 15-minute segments, each beginning with a call to breakfast. During “Memory Time,” McNeill might read a poem or brief essay. Halfway through the show, he would invite listeners to “March Around the Breakfast Table.” There was a daily moment of silent prayer.
The show published its own yearbook, which some years sold over 130,000 copies. It received 6,000–10,000 letters a month. In 1944, sponsor Swift & Co. offered free membership cards in a Breakfast Club fan club. One million fans, including Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, joined. Within a few weeks, the sponsor closed the club: the gimmick had cost the company $50,000.
The show’s success stemmed from McNeil’s ability to project a folksy personality. The broadcast began with a singing welcome: “Good morning Breakfast Clubbers, good morning to ya, we woke up bright and early just to howdy-do ya.” A POW in a German prison camp was said to cheer fellow American internees by singing the Breakfast Clubtheme song.
McNeill surrounded himself with complementary talent: the show’s longtime clown and resident heckler Sam Cowling, crooner Johnny Desmond, and Marion and Jim Jordan, creators of Fibber McGee and Molly. Before joining Kukla, Fran and Ollie, Fran Allison was the show’s busybody Aunt Fanny.

Dabrafenib and trametinib can be used in combination to treat patients with advanced skin cancer, also known as melanoma.
Approximately 40% of patients with advanced melanoma possess what is known as activating BRAF mutations in their tumours. This culminates in the constant signaling of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway. The inhibition of this pathway is done by concentrating on MEK as well as BRAF-mutant proteins. This activity involves the drug dabrafenib being used in tandem with trametinib and this results in progression free survival, improved response, and greater chances of survival of the patients with BRAF mutation versus those with BRAF inhibitor monotherapy.
The study, ‘Factors predictive of response, disease progression, and overall survival after dabrafenib and trametinib combination treatment: a pooled analysis of individual patient data from randomized trials’ was done with the objective of recognizing clinical factors which share a relationship with survival and long-term response. This is based on the use of collected data from randomized trials in patients experiencing BRAF-mutant melanoma who are being treated with dabrafenib and trametinib.
The design of the experiment involved a retrospective individual data analysis. The randomized trials used had the credibility of being published and this encompassed treatment of patients with BRAF mutant metastatic melanoma who were taking 150 mg of dabrafenib two times per day plus 2 mg of trametinib daily. The data was combined from affected individuals in BRF113220 (part C; March 26, 2010, to Jan 15, 2015), COMBI-d (May 4, 2012, to Jan 12, 2015), and COMBI-v (June 4, 2012, to March 13, 2015) randomized trials. Excluded from participating in the trial were patients with brain metastases that had not been treated. Baseline factors were viewed and analyzed with regards to their relationship with progression-free survival and overall survival. Multivariate and univariate analyses were employed as well as regression tree analyses.
There were 617 patients involved: 396 of them experienced progression events (death or disease worsening) and 290 died. The rate one-year progression-free survival was 48%, however, the overall rate of survival was 74%. The two-year progression-free survival rate was 30% while the overall survival rate was 53%. The data achieved was consistent with trials of individuals. It was found that survival after progression for patients with disease progression at baseline was the longest in those with progression at baseline and shortest in those with concurrent progression at baseline.
In conclusion, the study provides a foundation for the assessment of therapeutic development of advanced melanoma and to recognize those who are in need of better treatment options. Furthermore, patients have long-term disease control when dabrafenib is used in tandem with trametinib. Studies of this nature are incredibly crucial to results of melanoma in patients.

"Nightfighter Ace" is a tribute to the late Captain Guy Bordelon, who holds the unique distinction of being the only U.S. Navy ace of the Korean conflict, the only U.S. pilot to score all five of his victories at night, as well as the only pilot to attain ace status while flying a propeller-driven aircraft. It is also likely that he will forever hold the title of the last "prop ace" in air combat history.

Sorry it’s been a few weeks since I last posted…I’ve been busy working on my new eBook! It’s called Holiday Treats and it was really fun to write.
I made a sales page for the book here (and I have a sales page for ALL my eBooks here). For the month of December I am running a 1/2 off special on all of them including Holiday Treats. Use the discount code treatyourself during the checkout process and you can buy any or all of the eBooks for just 99 cents each. If you have any trouble at all with the discount code or the downloads, shoot me an email at [email protected] and I’ll be happy to straighten it out for you.
Since the last two weeks in my kitchen have been all about making and sampling sweet treats, I have been taking care to make sure I am otherwise eating a balanced, calorie-appropriate, nutritious diet (I talk more about my “dessert philosophy” in the intro of Holiday Treats).
One meal I’ve enjoyed a few times recently is this Smoked Salmon Omelet, the recipe for which appears in my print book One Simple Change .
It’s quick to whip up, filling, and delicious. When I know I am going to “have to” eat some carbohydrate-rich cookies (I know…poor me…testing recipes really stinks…NOT), this is a perfect lunch. I’ve photographed the omelet atop a bed of baby arugula- the hot omelet cooked the greens just a bit, which I love!
I adore smoked salmon, and one of my favorite ways to eat it is in this omelet, embellished with my homemade crème fraîche (you’ll find the recipe on page 124 of the book). This takes just moments to make, yet tastes quite indulgent. Use the highest quality butter, eggs, and smoked salmon (wild, of course) that you can find for the healthiest omelet. Serve it with a salad for a quick and nourishing meal at any time of the day.
1. Whisk together the eggs and crème fraîche in a small bowl. The crème fraîche will not blend completely, but this is fine.
2. Heat a small skillet, preferably cast-iron, over medium-high heat. Add the butter. As it melts, use a spoon or metal spatula to move it around, making sure the entire surface of the pan is coated with the butter.
3. Add the egg mixture. Tilt the pan (in several directions, if needed) so that the eggs coat the entire surface. Cook over medium-high heat until the egg in the center of the pan starts to solidify and the edges look slightly brown.
the omelet. Sprinkle with pepper and cook for 20 to 30 seconds more. With a spatula, loosen the side of the omelet without the filling and fold it over the filled half. Continue cooking for another 10 to 20 seconds, and fold the omelet in half again lengthwise, if desired.
5. Remove to a plate and garnish with sliced tomato and more black pepper, if you like.
Oh, wow! This has me drooling!
The smoked salmon omelet look fantastic. | 2019-04-18T22:37:29 | http://www.healthygreenkitchen.com/smoked-salmon-omelet.html |
The cool weather hits and I seek out hearty flavors, so sausage and peppers with the aromatic sage of Pinerolo Tomato hits the mark.
Heat a large sauce pan. Pour the EVO and place peppers, onions and garlic in the pan. Saute until slightly soft and add Chicken sausage until a bit browned. Add the whole contents of the Pinerolo Tomato jar. You don’t need to add any herbs because the sage in the sauce is fragrant for the whole dish. Once sauce is bubbling, salt to taste and turn the heat between medium and low and cook covered for 10 minutes. Now it is ready to serve with some steamed veggies, or over rice, quinoa, or pasta. See below how I served it over some gluten free fettuccini with grated parmisan. | 2019-04-21T02:32:18 | https://annamariasfoods.com/out-of-the-ordinary-chicken-sausage-and-peppers-with-pinerolo-tomato-sauce/ |
The importance of agriculture in the economy of Pakistan is well established. Agricultural plays an important role both directly and indirectly in generating economic activity, growth and development. Agriculture has strong backward and forward linkages and is vital to the food security of the country. Fertilisers have played an important role in Pakistan agriculture particularly in meeting the growing demand for food grains, fibre, fuel and fodder. Fertiliser consumption has increased during the last four decades to 2.6 million tonnes by 1997-98. The use level is, however, not only sub optimal but also imbalanced. Better plant nutrient management is, therefore, necessary for achieving self reliance in agriculture. | 2019-04-22T09:00:28 | http://agrinfobank.com.pk/fertiliser-plant-nutrient-management-and-self-reliance-in-agriculture/ |
For effective communication to take place between a source and a destination the emphasis lies on the reliable transport of information. Given the constraints of the transport medium, there is much emphasis on the research techniques that allow a good trade off between complexity and performance. Despite the superior performance of turbo product codes, one main concern is the implementation complexity of such systems. With this in mind, in this thesis we present, a reduced complexity decoding algorithm for turbo product codes. This scheme is based on the reduction of the complexity of a soft input soft output trellis based iterative decoder by means of simplifying the trellis structure. We present the details involved in pruning certain branches based on the values of the received channel information and the extrinsic information associated to each branch. We introduce the concept of branch pruning by means of using a threshold, and investigate the methods for compensating for the performance degradation (in terms of bit error rate) in a system where a structural complexity simplification such as trellis pruning is in effect. | 2019-04-26T07:52:28 | https://spectrum.library.concordia.ca/8192/ |

The government’s Ministry of Housing and Urban Development estimates that some 240 000 persons live in informal settlements, approximately 19% of the population; the waiting list for government subsidised housing is approximately 160 000 persons, some waiting for up to 25 years. The main housing demand stems from inequity and population growth; the main obstacles to access are the spiralling costs of real estate and construction products, the lack of land, and the reluctance of traditional financing sources to support first-time homeownership in the low-income target group.
Slightly over 30% of the population is classed as poor (Maximum monthly household income of TTD1000) or indigent (Maximum monthly household income of TTD418) – almost 400 000 persons.
The main factors contributing to poverty are low-income, lack of education and unemployment. | 2019-04-18T18:23:41 | https://www.habitat-tt.org/shelter-issues/ |
There are two things y’all need to know about me.
Now that you know these two things… let me tell you how they relate. And if foul language offends you, well, you shouldn’t have clicked on this blog when it is clearly about a day I said a bad word!
The other day I got a text from my buddy, Bert.
So, that happened. My phone betrayed me. It accidentally Face Time’d my Ex.
And I said a really bad word!!
Because that doesn’t sound fake AT ALL!!!
But, he called, and I answered, and I kid you not, told me all about his day – like it hadn’t been years since we had talked! Like it hadn’t been years since we had talked and he had said he was going to call. And never did!
Okay, so this is my Ex from a long time ago, and while we weren’t together long, it was an intense relationship, and while I had the utmost respect for him, he and I both will admit that towards the end, well, we were young, tempers were strong.
For the most part, it’s been fine. We work in the same industry but not in the same State (most of the time) and while we have run into each other at functions, it is rare.
And let me tell you, I swear I could be a secret agent, I am awesome at ducking and eluding capture!!
At least, I am, until my phone decides to betray me!!!!
Back to the story. My phone betrayed me. I talked to my Ex.
He wants to mend our relationship.
Not get back together, I was able to determine that in that phone call, but just to mend our relationship.
So that just happened. And so far I’ve been really grown up about it. A few friends that I’ve talked to have commented at how grown up I’ve been and how I’ve been handling it so very well, really mature about the whole thing actually.
I changed the ring tone for my Ex to dogs barking… cause he could still be a dog!
Loved this blog by Spirit Lights the Way! I have read a few of my blog friends who are reaching for their authentic selves and discovering some push-back, and this shows us all why it’s important to keep to our true path! Love the line about stop worrying about our reputation with acquaintances! If you don’t already follow her, go stop by and enjoy The Golden Apple today and take a moment to just be mindful of who, and where, you are! | 2019-04-19T22:50:32 | https://didthatjusthappenblog.wordpress.com/tag/humor/ |

About a month ago, I had the chance to meet Paul Goldberger, whose extensive career includes a Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism while being architecture critic at The New York Times, position he later held at The New Yorker, and Dean of the Parsons School of Design in New York. He is also author of several books, including “Why Architecture Matters” and the biography of Frank Gehry: “Building Art: The Life and Work of Frank Gehry”, to be published by Alfred A. Knopf this coming September.
Over the last few months, I have been involved, as co-founder, in shaping a collective architecture practice that I am very proud to be presenting today: knitknot architecture.
knitknot architecture is an international collective of Architects, Urban Planners, Artists and Thinkers with the aim of creating a framework to work collectively as a professional studio.
As the third part of the series “Issues in Contemporary Architecture”, curated by Pedro Gadanho, last November 22nd opened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York the Exhibition “Uneven Growth: Tactical Urbanism for Expanding Megacities”.
The name of the exhibition attracted my interest from the first moment; since seeing an institution like the MoMA using the term “tactical urbanism” is an indicative on the impact that this kind of proposals are currently having in the architectural scene.
A new permanent section has been added to “Open Source Urbanism”.
Together with the pages “About”, “Contact” and “Links” you can find now “Publications”, a place to gather all the articles published in other media, as magazines, internet sites, confence publications… in my aim to expand the reach of the topics treated in the blog.
Once more, an exciting new section that hopefully you will enjoy reading as much as I did writing.
To continue with the series OSU//Interviews, I would like to introduce Andrés Jaque, architect founder of the Office for Political Innovation, Advanced Design Professor at Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation GSAPP Columbia University and Visiting Professor at Princeton School of Architecture. He has recently being awarded with the silver lion to the best research project at the 14th Venice Biennale with the work entitled: “SALES ODDITY. Milano2 and the Politics of Direct-To-Home TV Urbanism”.
I was quite shocked when I realized how fast this second year has passed, it may sound cliché but it feels like yesterday when I was writing the first anniversary post.
In terms of articles published, it has been a bit less productive than the first one; I like to think that is because I got established after the first push. But I have also had my first experiences publishing in magazines, the Venezuelan “entre rayas” and the Autralian “Post magazine”, both of them great experiences and with more to come.
I also had the great chance of opening an interviews section starting with Saskia Sassen, an absolute pleasure. Section that I really enjoy both writing and reading and will (very soon) keep growing.
So, one year more, just thank everyone who has spent some time reading the posts, stay tuned for what is coming!
The Death and Life of Great American Cities, by Jane Jacobs, is the last Architecture-related book that has ended in my hands. A long overdue read that currently has earned a fixed spot in the bag that shares with me any displacement I do in New York.
The book is widely known since it was first published and one of the most influential texts about the way cities work. Going through its pages, you may find yourself producing a huge amount of thoughts after almost every paragraph.
It has been a while since the last time I posted an entry, and for that reason I feel the need of writing some words before getting back in track with more articles, interviews and collaborations.
The main reason that has caused the break is my recent incorporation to a high-demanding architectural office in the city. I am taking part into very exciting and extremely interesting projects but I also find myself questioning the principles of the current practice model (something I will explain in a future post) as something in highly need for a change.
In the meantime there has been also very good news, since I will get an article published in the next issue of “POST Magazine”. It has been a pleasure working with them; I am looking forward to receiving the printed copy.
Anyhow, I feel ready, as I said, to get back on track, since I have still a lot of topics to talk about.
Stay tuned! And thanks for the support! | 2019-04-25T08:21:47 | https://opensourceurbanism.wordpress.com/ |
BELFAST (Reuters) – The Northern Irish party that props up Britain’s minority government will hold Prime Minister Theresa May to her commitment to secure changes to the divorce deal struck with the European Union, its leader said on Monday.
With less than three months to go until the UK is due to leave the EU on March 29, May plans to hold a vote on her deal in mid-January, after pulling it from parliament this month after admitting its ratification would be defeated.
She is first seeking “assurances” from EU leaders over the so-called Irish backstop, an insurance policy to avoid a hard border between the British province and EU-member Ireland that her Northern Irish allies and members of her own party oppose.
Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) leader Arlene Foster reiterated that her party required changes to the actual withdrawal agreement but said they would work with the government to “achieve a better deal”.
“For our part, we want to leave with a sensible deal which works for the United Kingdom, Northern Ireland in particular but also our neighbours in the Republic of Ireland. We want an orderly exit which implements the referendum result,” Foster said in a statement.
Northern Irish business groups have overwhelmingly come out in favour of May’s draft agreement, including the contentious backstop. Foster said the DUP was mindful of people in all sectors, who she said were frustrated with the pace of negotiations and the lack of certainty.
“We share the frustration. As politicians, we have a duty to look to the long-term impact of any deal on our core industries. That’s where our energies will be focused in the coming days,” she said. | 2019-04-21T15:16:53 | https://globalnewshouse.com/2018/12/31/northern-irelands-dup-will-hold-may-to-promise-of-brexit-deal-changes/ |
After working for General Motors Corporation (GM) for fifteen years as a vehicular fire analyst, Ronald Elwell sued GM for wrongful discharge. In an eventual settlement agreement reached in a Michigan county court, the parties agreed to a permanent injunction barring Elwell from testifying against GM without its consent, unless subpoenaed to do so by another court or tribunal. Thereafter, when Kenneth Lee Baker commenced a product liability action against GM in a Missouri county court, Elwell was subpoenaed to testify on Baker's behalf. When GM argued that Elwell was barred from testifying under the Michigan court injunction, the Missouri court disagreed and permitted his deposition and testimony. After suffering an adverse verdict in the Baker case, GM appealed on the basis that Elwell's testimony was illegally admitted. When a federal appeals court agreed with GM, Baker appealed and the Supreme Court granted certiorari.
Was a Missouri county court's admission of a witness's testimony, barred by a Michigan county court's injunction, a violation of the Full Faith and Credit Clause of Article IV?
Media for Baker v. General Motors Corp.
Audio Transcription for Oral Argument - October 15, 1997 in Baker v. General Motors Corp.
Well, we'll hear argument first this morning in Number 96-653, Kenneth Lee Baker and Steven Robert Baker v. General Motors Corporation.
One judge in Michigan, without an adversary hearing, enters a consent decree as part of a stipulated monetary settlement between G.M. and an employee, Ron Elwell.
The employee can give testimony about G.M.'s practices that it considers damaging but is unable to suppress in the usual manner... that is, by persuading a judge that the testimony is inadmissible because of attorney-client privilege, trade secrets, and the like.
The decree permanently enjoins the employee from being deposed or testifying without the consent of General Motors as a witness of any kind in State or Federal litigation brought against G.M. anywhere by anyone, whether a private plaintiff seeking damages or a public official enforcing health and safety regulations or criminal statutes.
Mr. Tribe, you refer to the Michigan proceeding as a consent decree.
What are you... what precisely do you mean by that?
Well, that's true of all settlements, isn't it, that there's no adversary hearing?
This is not... we're not suggesting that there was anything unique or unusual about it.
What's unusual, or at least what some people think is unusual, is that the request for a subpoena to depose the employee or to call him as a witness comes from a litigant who was not a party to and had no notice of the little proceeding that led to the quite usual entry of the decree.
Well, even if Baker had had notice in Missouri, I take it your position is he wouldn't have to go to Michigan.
--but it makes it, if anything, worse that they didn't have notice.
I make that point only because at various points in the brief by General Motors it's suggested that there were some elaborate findings that this was the only possible way of protecting privilege.
Our position would be the same anyway, but I just wanted to note the fact.
--I thought, Mr. Tribe, that you made that point to underscore that issue preclusion has no part in this case at all, because nothing was ever actually litigated.
--and it's in addition true that if there had been litigation, it's somewhat ironic that a determination by Judge Hathaway in Michigan that, for example, some document was privileged in a proceeding between General Motors and Elwell would obviously not be binding against the Bakers here, and yet the intriguing thing is that this decree, the injunction, has this enormous effect on them.
The question is, does it matter that they weren't there?
--This is the district court in Missouri now? | 2019-04-23T14:33:39 | https://lawaspect.com/case-baker-v-general-motors-corp/ |

Tampa – On Friday, April 12, The University of Tampa Sykes College of Business’ Lowth Entrepreneurship Center will showcase more than 50 of its student and community-run startup business concepts at the 2019 New Venture Exposition. The exposition will be held from 9 a.m. to noon in the Lowth Entrepreneurship Center, which is located on the eighth floor of the Daly Innovation and Collaboration Building. The event is free and open to the public.
The New Venture Exposition is the culmination of work of center students and program participants. Graduate students in the M.S. in Entrepreneurship program, as well as senior undergraduate students majoring in entrepreneurship, will present business concepts that began development at the start of the 2018-2019 academic year. They will compete alongside Spartan Incubator and Accelerator program participants, many of whom have already committed hundreds of hours to their new ventures.
Cash prizes will be awarded to first, second and third place in two categories: students (graduate and undergraduate) and Accelerator/Incubator participants. Winners will be selected by a panel of UT alumni judges.
While judges deliberate, guest speaker J.B. Bernstein will present to students. Bernstein is the renowned sports agent who inspired the Disney movie Million Dollar Arm. He is currently the CEO and chairman of AviSight, Inc.
This annual event educates students and the community about opportunities the Lowth Center provides and enhances students’ ability to achieve their professional goals. It also provides employers access to qualified candidates to meet their recruitment needs.
The event is sponsored by Cherry Bekaert and SALTBLOCK Catering.

30,31 "‘And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these."
Both of these definitions are good, but they are general and vague, and they don’t really capture the bigger power behind this little phrase, ALL IN.
When asked what the greatest commandment was, Jesus replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart with all your soul with all your mind and with all your strength.” Then He said, “The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Mark 12:30,31.
I believe this is the best definition of what it means to be ALL IN.
Of course, Jesus is giving a spiritual lesson about being ALL IN for the love of God; but His inspired answer can also be a model for us to follow in sports where total commitment is key.
To begin unpacking this commandment, let’s define what is meant by heart.
Scripture says our hearts can be: deceived, examined, wise, encouraged, upright, known by God, meditative, wicked, hardened, joyful, keepers of the law, trusting and set with eternity. And with the heart we believe, love and follow after God.
So the heart is our emotional center, the place where our passions and desires are fostered, signifying our personhood, our humanity and our creation as children of God.
Athlete, the condition of your heart is crucial to everything that you do. Therefore, Scripture warns, “Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life” Proverbs 4:23 (NASB).
We are called by Jesus to love with a whole heart – completely, fully, with every part, in an unbroken and undamaged state, holding nothing back. What would it look like if we loved God in this way, and what would it look like if we carried this wholeheartedness over to the field of play too?
Reflect:Are you “ALL IN” with your heart, or do you struggle to fully trust God with your dreams, your hopes and your desires? Do you have any misplaced affections, idolizing something above Him? Do you compete half-heartedly, in a lukewarm, uncommitted, going-through-the-motions way?
Directing our human hearts can be frustrating. In fact, it is impossible in our own efforts. And our divided hearts hold us back from being ALL IN in both loving God and also in being fully committed in other areas of our lives too.
What is the remedy for our faint hearts? We must experience a supernatural work of God in our lives. And we must learn to live out of that reality.
Christian, you have been given a transplanted heart with the ability to love Him fully.
A prayer to consider: Lord, teach me and enable me to go ALL IN! | 2019-04-24T01:05:45 | https://athletesinaction.org/playbook/12/be-all-in |

Friday night we ordered Chicago style pizza from Felix and Oscar's (one of our fave pizza places in DM) and watched Marched Madness to end our week and begin our weekend. I've never been much of a 'going out on Friday night' type girl, making this my dream Friday night.
Saturday we went to two Easter events around the city. In the morning we attended Living History Farms Family Easter. I had every intention of being at the event by 9 a.m. but I couldn't seem to pull myself out of bed until 8:30. The minis and I did make it out of the house (miraculously) by 10 a.m. This accidental lateness actually turned out perfectly because we avoided the crowds of early people. We experienced no waiting at any of the games or activities. The event was fantastic and definitely makes the cut for next year too. The only thing that would have made it more enjoyable would have been warmer weather.
I loved how they did the Egg Hunts at LHF. You've probably heard about or witnessed the crazy and over the top public egg hunts (the ones made for kids, but idiotic parents ruin them). LHF had the age groups separated to make things easier AND they told parents that they were not allowed to participate or help their child(ren). Parents had to stay behind the ropes at all times. Brilliant and well organized!
They had a special area for kids 4 and younger. They had teens dressed up as bunnies helping kids collect eggs (they could get up to five or six eggs and they were filled with stickers, not candy. A big plus for this momma). In this Bunnyland (as they called it) they also had coloring books and crayons and cookies and lemonade for a treat.
The baby lambs were adorable!
Another Easter Bunny visit (they're just as obsessed with the E.B. as they are with Santa) and a ride on a wagon pulled by their horses (same horses that pulled us when we were there for Apple Fest).
They couldn't stop shoveling popcorn in their mouths long enough to take a decent picture. Hey, I'll take what I can get.
A view of the town from the top of the hill.
Inside of the town barn were bunnies that the kids could pet.
In the next couple of years, we'll definitely invest in a season pass to Living History Farms. Not only can we take advantage of discounts to these special events they host, but it is also extremely educational for kids to see "how life used to be."
After a quick lunch, we headed to the Blank Park Zoo's Eggstravaganza. Our late start meant we missed the crowds at this event too. For the record, it's not that I hate crowds of people (although it's not my favorite thing to deal with), it's that crowds of people and young kids do not mix well. So it's always a plus when it's avoided!
The zoo's egg hunt was fairly simple and easy. The kids got to go into an area, fill up their carton with eggs (that were empty), then turn the carton in for a baggie of goodies. Then we went to see all of the animals. Unfortunately it started raining while we were there (and I failed to bring my rain jacket), but all of the animals were extremely active, making for some very happy kids!
Another picture with another E.B.
The red pandas kept the kids entertained as they tried to catch the rain from the very top of their structure.
Screaming at the otter is always a favorite.
The tiger tried to eat her colored ice egg while the minis cheered her on.
The rest of the rainy afternoon and evening was spent dying eggs and eating the hard boiled eggs. I got a bit of a mom break when I ran errands by myself while Hubs put the kids to bed. I got home well after they were asleep and my Easter Bunny frenzy began.
Our E.B. took the easy way out this year. She bought mini Herhsey chocolate eggs and hid them around the house (no dealing with opening the plastic eggs!). Our E.B. never brings candy in baskets. This year she opted for Nerf guns for the whole family!, DVD's to watch on our upcoming road trips, rain coats, a game to play with friends this summer, and beloved Lego's to keep them entertained. She did a good job this year and didn't spend a ton of money like she did last year (she's patting herself on the back).
The minis were so excited to see what the E.B. had brought them that they awoke at 5 a.m. Yikes! It was a bit too early for mom and dad. After watching them open their baskets, find all of the chocolate eggs, and referee their first (of many) Nerf fights, mom and dad popped the Alvin and the Chipmunks DVD in and went back to sleep on the couches. We woke up at the end of the movie to find that the kids had opened all of their Lego's and ate all but 11 pieces of the chocolate eggs. Ooops!
A note from the E.B.!
A (somewhat) healthy breakfast to counter all of that chocolate eaten at 6 a.m.
Hubs and I got tired of supervising Nerf fights, so we set up a shooting range for them to practice.
We required the kids to attempt to nap Easter afternoon before dinner. While they "napped" I had time for a beverage and book. Absolutely perfect as far as Sunday afternoons go.
Annual Easter pictures by the front tree.
I asked the minis to take a picture with me and only one kid wanted to. I was not ready for that one.
It's not officially a holiday until one kid breaks down and the others make fun of her/him. Fun times....and all because I wouldn't let her buckle herself in her car seat. I'm a terrible mom for caring about safety.
We had Easter dinner at my parents with my grandparents and my sister. The kids got Easter baskets and had a massive egg hunt (I even got in on the action a bit).
A dinner selfie minus the rents who were still busy preparing the delicious meal. Elizabeth and my grandma "had a party" during dinner which resulted in Elizabeth eating most of her dinner (which never happens with that girl).
Harrison did excellent at imitating/half making fun of me and my selfie taking ways.
We ended the night with a game of hide n' seek. Max hid under the pillows on the bed. Elizabeth wanted to hide with him, but didn't want to be under pillows. Her thinking? "If I lay really flat, no one will find me!"
Big H peeking from the closet.
I could really get used to these laid back holidays we're creating for our kids (much like our Christmas this past year). Next weekend won't be quite as kid centered as we're doing a few "grown up activities" of our own.

Turkey: Bright Sun, Strong Tea - What's in a Name?
Indiana Jones: What's in a Name?
I love that part of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where Indie appears in the "Republic of Hatay" between World Wars I and II. Approximately one one-thousandth of one percent of the people who see that movie might have any clue at all as to the whereabouts of the "Republic of Hatay," or its capital city of Alexandretta. Therein lies its charm.
Hatay is the modern name for the historic Sanjak of Alexandretta, at the eastern end of Turkey's Mediterranean coast.
The city of Alexandretta was founded by Alexander the Great around 330 BC.
Just under a thousand years later the Arabs conquered it and translated its name to Iskenderun (Iskender means Alexander in Arabic).
Almost 1400 years after the Arab conquest people in Europe and America were still calling the city by its old name and marking the old name on maps. So for almost a millennium and a half we've refused to recognize the name change.
We did the same thing with Constantinople, which became Istanbul in 1453. Although Atatürk insisted that everybody call Angora Ankara and Constantinople Istanbul and Smyrna Izmir and Antioch Antakya, the Greeks still use the old names to this day and entertain fantasies of getting them back.
Hatay was not precisely a republic between the world wars. It was a sanjak. A sanjak was an Ottoman territorial unit similar to a county in size. The Sanjak of Alexandrettaor Republic of Hatayincluded the cities of Iskenderun (Alexandretta) and Antakya (Antioch).
After the Ottoman defeat in World War I, the sultan's lands in the Middle East were claimed by the victorious powers and governed by "mandate:" the British got Egypt and Palestine, and the French got Syria and Lebanon. Curiously, the Sanjak of Alexandretta was designated an autonomous district attached to Syria rather than part of Mandate Syria itself.
Atatürk recognized Hatay's strategic importance: a foreign army based there could threaten the Cilician Gates, the mountain pass north of Adana which leads directly to the Anatolian heartland, and which has been the entry point for conquering armies for millennia. He decided that Turkey had to have Hatay to remain secure.
The French seemed about to make it part of Syria, so in 1937 Atatürk put pressure on the French to establish the "Independent State of Hatay" in place of the "Sanjak of Alexandretta." A plebiscite was organized soon thereafter, the vote went in favor of Turkey, and the quasi-autonomous "state" became the Turkish province of Hatay in 1939just in time to help Turkey preserve its neutrality during World War II.
So Hatay is no longer independent but, historically speaking, for a single New York minute it sort of was, and the Hollywood people seized upon this fact for a clever bit of historico-political engineering.
Most of the time, movie people don't want to tick off potential viewers so they try hard not to alienate anyone except perhaps those with no money for movie tickets. They particularly dislike ticking off whole countries because some of the citizens are going to have the price of a ticket so they need to be clever about where the action is located, especially if the plot is Standard Hollywood Plot No. 1, ie, there are lots of baddies trying to do nasty to the hero.
Nazis are the convenient bad guys because most people hate them and the real ones are long dead and therefore incapable of filing nettlesome lawsuits, but what to do about the location? What if you want some of the movie action to take place in a picturesque desert? There are no deserts in Germany, picturesque or otherwise, or in Austria for that matter, so you've got to look elsewhere.
North Africa is the obvious place to locate your movie Nazis because during World War II there were in fact Nazis there; but the countryside is mostly boring desert, not picturesque desert. You can't put them in other countries of the region because there were no German troops there during World War II. Spies yes, troops no. You can shoot lots of desert scenes for your movie in these places, and in fact some of the most beautiful and exciting scenes in "Last Crusade" were shot at Petra in Jordan; but you can't locate your movie there.
So what do you do? Make up an imaginary country to locate your movie in? Well, you could, but that sacrifices a significant amount of verisimilitude, and in an Indiana Jones-type movie most of the verisimilitude has already been sacrificed so you want to hold onto whatever's left.
Ironically, with so little left, every tiny bit of actual truth takes on huge importance. People come out of Indiana Jones movies saying "You know that part about the Rolls Royce Phantom II, 4.3 litre, 30 horsepower, six cylinder engine, with Stromberg downdraft carburetor? It really can go from zero to 100 kilometers an hour in 12.5 seconds," etc. If there were only one actual atom of truth in such a movie, that atom would be talked to death.
In short, there've got to be at least some fragments of truth in an Action/Crowd-Pleaser movie, just as in advertising and government, or the whole ridiculous suspension-of-disbelief structure crumbles and you're left with no paying customers.
That's why, as a movie-making person, you love Hatay.
It is at least believable, if not completely accurate, that there was a pasha in charge of Hatay, and that the Nazis bribed him with a Rolls Royce so they could go get the Holy Grail, etc. Even if it's not strictly true, it's so obscure that, as noted above, only one one-thousandth of one percent of your paying customers will notice, and even fewer—perhaps only two, namely Steven Spielberg and Yours Truly—will give a damn.
Speaking of accuracy, movie people like to be able to say that such and such a movie is "based on a true story." This always kills me. "Based on a true story," in Hollywood parlance, means "we've changed this sucker around so much that it's a bigger myth than Enron's ethics, but now it fulfills our ego, box office and political-correctness requirements, and it's important to our amour propre to appear ethical, so sit back, relax, and, against your better instincts, believe that this is true." If you need convincing on this point, I refer you to "Midnight Express," which was "based on a true story" in which a two-bit convicted drug smuggler is miraculously transmuted into a suffering hero while the Turkish authorities who are trying to protect American youth from the scourge of illegal drugs become the heavies, and Hollywood cashes in at the Turks' expense.

The textile industry has always played an important role in the history of the Chattahoochee Valley area. West Point Manufacturing Company opened several cotton mills along the banks of the Chattahoochee in the late 1800s.

The railway remained in operation until it was slowly shut down beginning in 1974 and finally ending its run in 1992. Not long ago, several communities in the area decided to use the old railroad bed as a rails-to-trails project and the C.V.R. Trail was born. The path travels through 4 communities (Fairfax, Langdale, Riverview, Shawmut) in city of Valley. Much of the trail is paved in asphalt and is wheelchair accessible.

The Denver Metro Chamber of Commerce’s Business Awards celebrate organizations from across the region who are leading in their field and making an impact in the community – writing our next chapter as a great community to live and do business.
Meet the 2019 Minority or Woman-Owned Business of the Year finalists, presented by Xcel Energy: 360 Engineering, Cesco Linguistic Services and Pearl Street Lights. These businesses are leading in their fields and building a stronger, inclusive business community. The winner will be announced live on May 1.
Get your seat for the 2019 Business Awards Luncheon!
Denise Dihle, president of 360 Engineering, is building a different kind of business in this male-dominated field.
360 Engineering is a full-service woman-owned mechanical engineering firm serving clients in Denver and across the U.S. Founded in 2003 by Dihle, the firm was built on providing exceptional customer service, which remains their core value and top priority. 360 Engineering’s services consist of mechanical and plumbing engineering, sustainability consulting and commissioning.
They have worked on major projects for organizations including Denver International Airport, National Western, Botanic Gardens and National Renewable Energy Laboratory – over this 11-year partnership they’ve completed more than 100 projects.
Giovanna Carriero-Contreras, co-founder of Cesco Linguistic Services, is breaking down language barriers.
Cesco Linguistic Services delivers high-quality interpreting and translations services in more than 120 languages, working in health care, education, social services, nonprofit, legal, workers’ compensation and international development sectors. A connecting voice across languages and cultures, Cesco Linguistic Services works under the principles of quality, efficiency and confidentiality, delivering services in a prompt, professional manner.
Carriero-Contreras, along with her husband, are advocating for better industry regulation to ensure people get accurate interpretation and translation. She has developed curriculum for language services-based careers at South High School and at Metropolitan State University of Denver and hopes to expand this offering at the high school and collegiate level.
“As a woman-owned business I truly foster the diversity of perspectives that come to the table every time we need to work on a new project, come up with new ideas or also make changes,” Carriero-Contreras said.
Kerry Humphrey, founder of Pearl Street Lights, was able to rebuild her life through small business, and is working to empower others to do the same.
Pearl Street Lights creates and manufactures hand-poured soy wax candles with crackling wooden wicks, highly-fragranced wax melts and massage candles through a nonprofit job training organization that hires and trains individuals with barriers to employment.
Kerry founded her company in 2014 after her release from prison – launching Pearl Street Lights was a part of her healing process and it has allowed her to be that light for others who face barriers to employment. She partners with Mile High Workshop to produce her products, and each candle has the signature of the person who created it.
“As a woman-owned business, we have some amazing aspirations… one of which is to have Pearl Street Lights candles available in retail stores all across the country and provide a lot of opportunities for amazing individuals who need a little extra support in our community,” Humphrey said. | 2019-04-24T06:01:29 | https://denverchamber.org/2019/04/02/meet-the-2019-minority-or-woman-owned-business-of-the-year-finalists/ |
Earlier this week, my neighborhood association (Rose City Park) held its candidates fair. A number of candidates were present, as were presenters representing various ballot measures.
Of particular relevance to PortlandTransport readers are the two candidates for Metro President.
While it isn’t official, the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Condition is set to issue a ruling accepting all of Metro’s recent designations of urban and rural reserves, without amendment, according to Metro councilor Robert Liberty.
Councilor Liberty’s report of the Oregon LCDC affirming all Metro urban/rural reserves designations was in error. Today, the LCDC issued their recommendations, and many environmentalists are happy–whereas the mayors of Cornelius and Forest Grove, both of which were looking to add industrial tracts within their respective city limits, are not. The Council Creek parcel–a 624-acre plot north of Cornelius was rejected outright, and a plot north of Forest Grove was remanded for further consideration. The list of rural reserves was also remanded for further investigation, with metro permitted to add these plots to rural reserves if it deems appropriate, and find other parcels (including those currently designated as rural, but less suitable for agriculture) to add to urban reserves instead.
The remainder of the Metro’s recommendations, including all designations in Multnomah and Clackamas Counties, were accepted.
Due to the delays involved in the partial remand of the designations, Metro stated that it was unlikely any UGB expansions would occur until next year.
While it isn’t official, the Oregon Land Conservation and Development Condition is set to issue a ruling accepting all of Metro’s recent designations of urban and rural reserves, without amendment, according to Metro councilor Robert Liberty. The decision, which was set to be announced last Friday and delayed, is expected this Friday (the 29th). Quite a few objections and amendments were raised to the LCDC, which rejected the lot of them. The LCDC only has authority to rule on legal objections, not technical objections.
While the LCDC is expected to approve the designations, it did have a few sharp words for the process–suggesting that Senate Bill 1011, the 2007 legislation which created the urban/rural reserves designations, results in a more politicized process than the prior method. This claim drew a rebuke from Mr. Liberty, who articulated the opposite opinion–that the UR/RR process involves more technical analysis, and less horsetrading, then before.
One example of that, of course, is the Stafford Basin. The basin, an area which is surrounded by urbanization on three sides, bisected by I-205, and is too hilly to be useful for agriculture, had nonetheless resisted any urban designations for years–unsurprising given that its full of wealthy homeowners living on large lots. The three cities bordering the basin–West Linn, Lake Oswego, and Tualatin, all oppose its inclusion, and were busy trying to convince the LCDC to overrule Metro on its inclusion.
Other parties bound to be disappointed by the upcoming ruling include 1000 Friends of Oregon, who were hoping that LDCD would overturn the inclusion of Washington County farmland in the Cornelius area into the urban reserves. It would be interesting to see how Bob Stacey, should he win next Tuesday, goes about implementing a decision he disagrees with.

Transit Appliance Gets Some Notice – Time for a New Name?
I’ve been pleased to see that the posts on this site and on StreetFilms about the Transit Appliance have been retweeted and syndicated, bouncing around the net for a few days.
And yesterday it got some love on the PDXCommute blog.
I also had a chance to show it off at GOSCON (Government Open Source conference) with a unit on the OpenPlans exhibit table (thanks, Michael and Nick) and a brief overview during the TriMet open data presentation.
Time to get a few more out in the field for testing and generate an architecture for a scalable rollout. I’m hoping to engage the local open source developer community to build many of the pieces we’ll need to take this mainstream.
It’s also been suggested that we need a better name than ‘Transit Appliance’. Perhaps we should just use “Transit Board™” which is the name for the web application we’re running (which we’ve had since about 2007).
Or maybe we need something more original – I’m open to suggestions (all ideas become the property of Portland Transport – you’ve been warned)! | 2019-04-23T15:00:50 | https://portlandtransport.com/archives/2010/10 |

DECCAN HERALD Delhi, Apr 5, 2012,Delhi police rescued six minor girls allegedly trafficked from villages in West Bengal and supplied as domestic maids by a placement agency here.
The police conducted multiple raids following an order issued by the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) and targeted the premises of the placement agency in Chirag Delhi and houses where maids were believed to have been supplied. According to Shakti Vahini NGO, six minor girls were rescued – two from the houses of their employers and four from the premises of the LG placement agency.
The girls were on Thursday produced before the CWC which ordered that cases be registered under the Juvenile Justice Act against the employers and traffickers. In line with a CWC order, a team of crime branch and representatives of two NGOs was formed and raids were conducted on Wednesday. While four girls – 13, 17 and 11 years of age – were rescued from the premises of the agency, two sisters aged 18 and 15 years were rescued from the house of their employers where they were working since the last few months after being placed by the agency, the NGO claimed in a statement. Three of the girls had allegedly not been paid by their employers and one was sent back to the agency on allegation of theft. Most of the girls were trafficked from villages in West Bengal and the agency is allegedly run by two persons named Laxman and Rahu.
The CWC directed the crime branch to produce the rescued kids before it and also asked it to produce a girl found at one of the raided houses, who prima facie did not appear to beminor. The CWC also directed NGO Shakti Vahini to contact the anti human trafficking unit of West Bengal to expedite the repatriation of the girls to their families. It also said a statement of all girls should be recorded before the SDM under the Bonded Labour Act, and all six should be provided shelter and care. | 2019-04-23T05:07:01 | https://shaktivahini.org/six-minors-from-bengal-too-saved/ |

Consider here how politics, just as much as scientific advancement, has affected our understanding of what it means to be autistic. When Dr. Hans Asperger first used the term “autism” to categorize a distinct group of patients in Vienna during the 1930s, for example, his key aim was not merely to locate some underlying physical disease. Rather, it was to save those with this idiosyncratic way of being, which he argued was valuable due to autistic creativity, from extermination by the eugenicist Nazi occupiers. The baptism of the syndrome was thus itself a deeply political act—a humanitarian response to fascism—rather than a medical one, despite being framed in a medical vocabulary.
Today, largely due to the internet, autistic people have been able to meet and communicate with each other. In this context, the political weight of our diagnosis has broadened: It protects us not only from eugenic extremists, but from a normative society that is liable to misunderstand and judge us. We are no longer isolated eccentrics surrounded by “normal” communities; we have our own communities, norms, and practices, in which things like collecting fruit stickers make perfect sense. Autism, in other words, has begun to develop into a culture, and this culture opens up the space for autistic behaviors to begin to manifest as meaningful. | 2019-04-23T14:38:27 | http://www.autismpolicyblog.com/2016/07/autism-politics-and-culture.html |

What is your response to the 2008 Democratic Party platform which reads: “The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman's right to choose a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay, and we oppose any and all efforts to weaken or undermine that right”?
Are unborn children younger and smaller and weaker than the rest of us? Of course. But it’s scientifically inaccurate to say a human embryo or a fetus is not a human being simply because he’s at an earlier stage of development than an infant. This is like saying that a toddler isn’t a human being because he’s not yet an adolescent. One of my grandchildren is two years older than his brother. Does this mean he’s two years better? Does someone become more human as they get bigger? If so, then adults are more human than children, and football players are more human than jockeys. Something nonhuman doesn’t become human by getting older and bigger; whatever is human is human from the beginning.
In my opinion, the prochoice movement brings out our worst instincts in this regard. Remember years ago when the attention of our entire nation turned to baby Jessica, the little girl trapped at the bottom of that deep well? The amount of human resources poured into saving her was vast, but no one doubted whether she was worth it. What touched our hearts more than anything was her helplessness and vulnerability.
When we are thinking accurately, we realize that a helpless person deserves help precisely BECAUSE she is helpless. It's a sad commentary on society when a child’s helplessness and dependence on another is used as an argument against her right to live. | 2019-04-26T02:02:40 | https://www.epm.org/resources/2011/Jan/12/what-your-response-2008-democratic-party-platform-/ |
S’mores only have three ingredients, but that doesn’t mean you can’t customize.
The weather's finally cooling down, which means the time is ripe to sit around a fire with a bag of marshmallows: enter s'more season 2.0. Popularized by Loretta Scott Crew and the Girl Scouts, this classic outdoor snack brilliantly utilizes an open flame and is more than worth your fingers getting temporarily stuck together. Just because the s'more might be perfect doesn't mean it can't be improved, however. Utilize the following cooking and flavor customizations to make your gooey treats even more irresistible.
Gooey marshmallows pair nicely with room-temperature chocolate and graham crackers, but what if the whole thing was warm and squishy? Set your graham crackers and chocolate on a piece of foil by the edge of your fire while you work on setting your mallow aflame, effectively softening your chocolate and making for an entirely toasty s’more. You can also roast your marshmallows and warm your chocolate and graham crackers in the oven if you’re nowhere near a fire and would rather do without burner fumes.
I personally believe that Hershey’s milk chocolate bars are meant to go in s’mores (and perhaps nothing else), but you, reader, can use whatever brand or variety of chocolate you like. Expensive, affordable, caramel-filled, bitter, white, flavored, vegan, what have you. Additions like sea salt, nut butter, nuts (try chopped pistachios!), and fruit will play up certain notes. Or, forgo the bars and spread Nutella on your crackers.
No reason to order a fancy metal stick or look around outside—straighten out a wire hanger, then adjust it to your liking. This lengthy DIY roasting stick offers some flexibility for anyone who wants a toasted mallow without having to smell (as much) like a campfire.
These days, just about every popular supermarket snack food has a bougie counterpart. This is especially true for marshmallows, which now come in more varieties than regular, jumbo, multicolored (and possibly toxic), and freeze-dried miniature. Gourmet brands like SmashMallow produce an array of flavors including mint chocolate and cinnamon churro. Or, you could even make your own marshmallows.
Cinnamon and chocolate graham crackers exist for a reason: experimentation. If you're looking for something a little saltier, try Ritz crackers or saltines. Or, forgo the cracker altogether and try pastries like Keebler Fudge Stripe Cookies, biscuit cookies, or Pop-Tarts (Kellogg even recommends using the s’more-flavored Pop-Tarts instead of graham crackers for the ultimate sugar rush). | 2019-04-22T13:07:18 | https://www.myrecipes.com/convenience/genius-smores-tricks |

When determining a home security system, the security cameras and keypads aren’t the only aspect you want to take into account. Unsurprisingly, doors are pretty important in the home security mix. Especially because many intruders come in through the front door.
Distressed mahogany front door: Not only does this door look incredibly cool, rustic, and impressive, but it’s also very thick and strong. It’s pretty much guaranteed to protect from unwanted visitors.
S100 exterior door: Another thick and hulking front door that has a steel core and wooden exterior. The downside is that this door isn’t customizable, but to make up for that, it also has four hinges and a multi-lock system.
L.I.F. steel door: A steel door can definitely make you feel safe in your home. It’s great for home residences and commercial use, but you might want to paint it to make it look a bit prettier at your home. | 2019-04-19T06:59:58 | http://surveilandprotect.com/home-security/best-doors-for-home-security/ |

Aluria: In order to save his teenage crush, Jason Conner allows an extra-terrestrial spirit, named Aluria, to inhabit his body. At that moment, Jason vowed to protect the innocent and hunt down the guilty, avenging those that were tragically taken from him.
Vigilante: It’s been a year since Aluria appeared as the hero of Canton. He’s become a myth to many, a hero to some, and a threat to others. Among those who think he is an outlaw are those working at the Major Case Squad, who fear he will go too far and become the villain the vigilante hopes to rid the city of. This fear escalates when people are found murdered with a blade shaped like Aluria’s insignia. Could this new hero really be to blame, and if not, can he clear his name and find the person who is behind everything? That will prove to be difficult when his support, Princess Tessa Warren, is fighting for her ambassadorship in Washington, D.C., and his father, now offering to tell him why he killed Jason’s mother.
Vigilante is the second book in The Aluria Adventures and will expose readers to secrets, lies and heartbreak.
Disciple: Over five-hundred years ago, in a distant kingdom, Queen Sibilla feared her kingdom would become the next casualty of the One Hundred Years War. In a desperate act to protect those she led, she makes a deal with the Devil, becoming his disciple in exchange for unlimited power. But everything has a price, and Sibilla must pay for her newfound powers, putting everything she cares about on the brink of destruction. | 2019-04-22T08:04:36 | https://tylermcook.com/the-aluria-adventures-3-book-collection/?shared=email&msg=fail |

As an avid exerciser since I was 15 years old (before that I watched more TV and drank more pop than anyone should in their entire lifetime), being active is a key part of my life. It’s my morning coffee, gets me outside and meeting people, and it just makes me feel good. However, being diagnosed with heart disease was threatening to end that, or was it?
When I saw my cardiologist for the first time about my palpitations, he told me to stop swimming until we figure things out. He was worried I would suffer a sudden cardiac arrest in the pool and, well, that could be pretty much it. This literally put the fear of death in me. Yet all I could think about was I didn’t want to stop exercising (this coming from someone in the field of heart disease).
I was fortunate that I underwent tests for my symptoms before any damage to my heart had occurred. For many others, a heart attack is their very first symptom, and although heart disease develops over decades, it’s usually triggered by a stressful event, and most likely one of physical exertion. Therefore, one would think that avoiding exercise is a good thing, but it’s the exact opposite.
Historically, people with a heart attack were treated as frail and restricted to hospital bedrest for up to 30-days. This lack of movement resulted in patients becoming even weaker. Many patients died from blood clots, primarily pulmonary embolisms from lying motionless (blood can clot when it is not actively circulating– movement helps keep blood flowing).
It was in the 1980s that the idea of supervised exercise as a therapy for people with heart disease came about. These exercise programs evolved into what we now call cardiac rehabilitation, a comprehensive, medically-supervised risk reduction program for heart disease. However, there was much resistance from the medical field to exercising these patients and it wasn’t until numerous studies were done that things began to change. Two separate studies more than 25 years ago showed that exercise programs reduced risk of premature death (by any cause) by 20% to 25%. So today, participating in a cardiac rehabilitation program is part of standard guidelines for treating people with heart disease whether in Canada, USA or Europe.
While cardiac rehabilitation programs are medically-supervised exercise programs conducted in a hospital, clinic or community centre staffed by health care professionals, not everyone has access to these programs, and almost all of them are time limited, meaning a patient can’t stay in the program forever. That means that many of us will be exercising on our own, or at least without medical supervision. That’s totally fine, as long as you do it within your limits.
The first thing to do is get an exercise stress test, which a doctor can refer you to. This will test your fitness, determine if you have any symptoms with exercise and help give an indication of what level you should exercise at. The test is performed usually on a treadmill and at set time increments (like every three minutes) it increases in speed and grade. The test stops when the person gets too tired to continue or experiences significant symptoms.
When I did my test, the technicians running it wanted me to stop, as I had gone “far” enough. No symptoms had shown up though. I asked to continue on as I felt fine. Shortly after that I started to get my palpitations (a heart rate of 255 for 10 seconds!). While I wasn’t happy to have the palpitations, for the sake of the test, I was glad they did happen. The last thing as a patient, and for health professionals, is to have someone leave a test saying they are fine, when it is possible that they aren’t.
The exercise test will help determine one’s exercise target heart rate (the heart rate at which it is safe, and beneficial, to exercise at). If no symptoms occur, then this is a simple calculation based on a proportion of your maximum heart rate on the test. For people who experience chest pain with exercise or show symptoms on the exercise ECG, the doctor will generate a target heart rate that will ensure it does not illicit these symptoms.
So now you’re all set, right? Well, not quite. The idea of the target heart rate is to provide a range to aim for while exercising but you also need to slowly work up to that heart rate. So a good warm-up of about 10 minutes that gradually progresses you into that target range is ideal. The warm-up is important because our heart, as a muscle, needs time to adapt to the increased work and the arteries in the heart need to open up to allow more blood flow through.
Equally important, after exercising in your target heart rate range for 20 to 40 minutes, is a cool down. This cool down should be active, meaning doing the same or similar activity as your exercise. For example, if you were jogging, then cool down with a moderate walk. It’s important not to just stop. With your body all warm from the exercise and the arteries all open to help with blood flow, just stopping can cause the blood to pool in your legs and that can lead to feeling dizzy or fainting. Walking, or continuing other movement will help keep the blood flowing while your body cools down.
Given the target heart rate, you’ll need to monitor it while exercising. This can be done manually but it’s not easy checking your heart rate while doing things like running, cycling, etc. so getting a heart rate monitor is recommended. Be mindful to monitor your heart rate during all moderate or vigorous activities, not just exercise. I’ve had patients who keep within their target during exercise but have gone above it when doing things like cutting the grass.
It’s also a good idea to have an exercise stress test every year to keep a tab on how you’re progressing. Having heart disease doesn’t mean you can’t be opposite, in fact, it means being active is even more important.
In the next blog I will discuss the dangers of shoveling snow.

Every year I seem to have one major project or another on the go. While these projects have been crucial to our landscape, managing these projects along with trying to keep up with the necessary garden chores often meant that small jobs kept getting pushed off to another year or that some areas of the garden suffered from neglect. Well, not this year. With no major projects on the horizon, 2012 is the year of the small but mighty. So here are my top 10 garden resolutions for 2012.
1. I will plant more daffodils. Every spring I look out and lament that I have too few daffodils in the back woodland. Yet by the time fall has come over the past few years I’ve just been too tired to tackle planting several hundred bulbs. But this year it’s my number one objective.
2. I vow to do a better job keeping my garden journal. While my blog serves to highlight what’s happening, I strive every year to keep better records of what was planted, what did well and what did not. With more time on my hands this year I hope to take my camera and a small notebook around the garden at least once a week and document what I see.
3. I resolve to deal with all my ‘lonely’ plants. I have too many places where one plant was popped in to fill a space. I promise to move these poor souls closer to their companions, creating better masses of colour and texture.
4. I will remember to do a better job of succession planting. While we plant a wide variety of vegetables in our garden, we could do a better job of filling a garden space with a new crop once the previous crop if finished. Better yet, I really need to tackle using cover crops to protect the soil after harvesting.
5. Plant asparagus! I have been meaning to do this for four years now.
6. I will plant better annuals. Having discovered the advantage annuals bring to the garden in terms of providing all season colour as well as helping with weed suppression. I need to broaden my horizons a bit and experiment with some different varieties.
7. Related to #6, I will do a better job with my planters. The last few springs have been a bit hectic, which has basically resulted in either planting that same old reliable combination or running out and purchasing a pre-planted pot. I used to enjoy spending time in the garden center greenhouses early in spring, planning out some terrific containers. This year I vow to return to that.
8. I promise to create a better herb garden. And better yet, use it.
9. Try, try again, to grow another Paw Paw. I have planted four native Paw Paw plants in our yard, all to no avail. This year I promise to search for a healthy specimen at a native nursery and try ‘one more time’.
10. Most importantly I promise to have coffee outside in the morning with no contractors interrupting the sound of the birds. | 2019-04-20T08:13:30 | http://everchanginggarden.ca/10-garden-resolutions-for-2012/ |

And Twitter has LOTS of thoughts.
Crocs and high-fashion (maybe) meet again with their latest product.
The controversial footwear brand recently released their own version of high heels. The Cyprus Heel, which mixes the classic Crocs aesthetic with an open toe and chunky heel, sells for $80-$225 (gasp!) on Amazon in colors such as black, white and pink. We also found them in leopard (for only $30) if you’re feeling like taking a walk on the wild side.
And let’s just say, this newfound market is leaving Twitter quite disturbed.
It’s also worth noting that the company has also been selling their own versions of wedges that look so far from the company’s aesthetic, we would have never guessed they were Crocs. You can shop some of the wild looks below.

He’s always been a warrior.
While most NBA fans were shocked at Kevin Durant’s free agency announcement to join the Golden State Warriors on Monday—after almost a decade with the Oklahoma City Thunder franchise—there were very clear and early signs that the small forward would make the move. Just look at the player’s old Black Planet account.
Prior to Durant’s announcement, MTO News unearthed the small forward’s profile page on Black Planet, a social networking site from the mid-2000s catering to African-American users. The screenshots revealed his username to be “ima_warrior,” which the news outlet took as a could-be hint of Durant’s next team.
It also revealed that teen Durant was a pretty chill dude.
The screenshot has gone viral and is raking in the LOLs online.

In an ongoing effort to stop the terrorist organization known as ISIS, US aircraft made 24 airstrikes against ISIS on Friday and Saturday. Some of the primary objectives were the oil infrastructure that keeps funding the ISIS network.
15 of those airstrikes were made in Syria. 12 of them were aimed at "degrading and destroying" anything that has to do with collecting, storing, or transporting oil.
ISIS controls several oil fields in Syria. It is believed that as much as $3 million per day in oil goes to ISIS before the airstrikes started.
Airstrikes made on Friday and Saturday hit oil collection points, mobile oil refineries, a military camp, and some ISIS weapons. Three strikes were made near Kobane. | 2019-04-19T16:59:45 | http://bible-truth-for-today.weebly.com/blog/more-airstrikes-taking-place-against-isis |
