When I wrote about Santa Fe, New Mexico, five years ago, I used the word sojourn. That’s because it was an autumn girls’ trip with a friend from college and it was just that, complete with leisurely meals, decadent spa visits and plenty of quiet, introspective time spent wandering galleries and museums and absorbing the city’s mesmerizing energy.
Much has changed in my life in the years since; in mid-March, I returned to The City Different, this time with my husband and our 2-year-old in tow. The 400-year-old city was bustling with spring-breakers. While the trip wasn’t exactly a sojourn, it still felt like a getaway, and our family of three came away refreshed and fully satiated.
At just around a 5 ½-hour drive from Vail, Santa Fe is a family vacation worth taking. Here’s some advice on where to eat and what to see (in that order) because really, isn’t that what you want to know when you’re headed to a new vacation spot?
Shortly after arriving in Santa Fe and checking in at the Drury Plaza Hotel, we walked to a plaza, a few minutes away. Since it was spring break, Native Americans were selling their wares mid-week. Beautiful jewelry, including lots of silver and turquoise, was carefully displayed on colorful blankets in front of the adobe Palace of the Governors, which has an impressive history: It was built by the Spanish as a government building in 1610 and remains the country’s oldest continuously occupied public building.
It was on the plaza that afternoon where we met an artist who used to live in Telluride who recommended a few restaurants to check out while we were visiting, including Back Street Bistro (backstreetbistrodailysoup.blogspot.com), a spot that’s been featured on “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” (Guy Fieri’s signature decorates the wall above a doorway in the back).
When we visited a few days into our trip, we found the unassuming eatery filled to the brim with locals, likely because the food is fantastic and super fast. Try a New York-style Ruben sandwich, but don’t skip the soup. Owner David Jacoby, dubbed the Duke of Soup, presents eight soup selections daily, but the Hungarian Mushroom is a staple. Beware, they’re only open for lunch, and they only take cash or check.
For classic New Mexican fare, including some of the hottest red chili around, stop into the ever-popular Tomasita’s, located in The Railyard. This spot is kid-friendly, with crayons and a kids’ menu, as well as fresh veggies and dip that your server will bring out immediately if your toddler looks to be on the verge of a meltdown following the wait to get in on a Friday night.
At The Old House, inside The Eldorado Hotel, executive chef Tony Smith serves up seasonal fare using local ingredients, including a killer roasted beet salad with New Mexico Chile green chili goat cheese and decadent bar bites, such as Kobe beef and cheddar sliders and pork carnitas street tacos.
For a fancy date night, check out the Anasazi Restaurant, located inside the Rosewood Inn of the Anasazi. Start with the tender charred octopus appetizer, and then move on to guajillo-berry crusted salmon with baby beets, parsnip and tamarind sauce. Don’t skip dessert — the flan is a memorable experience and a far cry from what you’re likely envisioning.
Time your drive home to correspond with a meal at El Paragua in Espanola, about 20 miles from Santa Fe. This family-owned joint has been featured everywhere from Sunset magazine to the New York Times. The food is truly authentic and awesome: unapologetically spicy salsa, freshly fried chips and tortillas made homemade on an antique stove while you watch.
Opt for the Mexican Combination plate, with posole, an enchilada, a taco, a tamale, rice and beans — it’s enough to feed two people at lunch if you aren’t starving. Be sure to ask for the homemade preserves (pineapple pear when we visited) to spread on the light and fluffy sopapilla served alongside.
There’s no shortage of amazing food in Santa Fe. The hardest part is narrowing it down. We already have a list going for our next trip: Italian food at Piccolino’s, chicken enchiladas Christmas-style at The Shed and some of the healthier fare at the Tune-Up Cafe.
Meow Wolf Art Complex’s House of Eternal Return installation opened to the public in mid-March. Prior to opening, “Game of Thrones” creator, longtime Santa Fe resident and supporter of the project George R.R. Martin promised the exhibit would “be like nothing you’ve ever seen before,” and he couldn’t have been more right.
One hundred and thirty-five artists collaborated to create 70 different spaces. This multimedia experience is a combination jungle gym, haunted house and immersive art exhibit that unfold in a magical narrative that appeals to kids and adults alike. We felt as if we’d stepped into a video game full of doors and portals that constantly led to other worlds.
Stop by the Georgia O’Keefe Museum (217 Johnson St., http://www.okmuseum.org) to see some of O’Keefe’s work, as well as work by her contemporaries. This strong, stubborn painter’s love affair with New Mexico was immediate: “When I got to New Mexico, that was mine,” she once said.
While I didn’t make it this trip, the New Mexico Museum of Art (107 West Palace Ave., http://www.nmartmuseum.org) has a large, impressive collection — everything from bright woodblock prints of native Santa Fean Gustave Baumann to an upcoming exhibit titled “Con Carino: Artists Inspired by Lowriders” that starts May 21. The museum is free on Fridays from 5 to 8 p.m., May through October.
Take the time to drive to Bandelier National Monument, around a 45-minute drive each way, where you can burn off some of those aforementioned calories. As groups of mule deer munched on grass 30 feet from the trail, we marveled at the ancestral pueblo dwellings located at one of the National Park Service’s oldest sites (1916). The main loop trail (1.2 miles) in Frijoles Canyon is easy to conquer while carrying a little one in your arms or in a pack. Older kids will dig climbing ladders into several of the small, carved rooms and imagining what it must have been like to live tucked into the side of the cliff face year round.
If you’re in Santa Fe on a Saturday, then the Farmers’ Market (www.santa fefarmersmarket.com) is a must-visit. We stopped in before leaving town and splurged on gifts — a bracelet and tea for my mom; Heidi’s raspberry red chili jelly for a few friends — and food to bring home for the week, such as green chili pesto flatbread from Intergalatic Bread Co., organic apples, four types of chili powder, dried beans and more. Budget some time for this stop — it’s worth absorbing.

As a child growing up in the ‘80s and ‘90s my free time revolved around the fields, hedgerows, woodlands and streams to the rear of our house. I’d eagerly anticipate the end of the school day so I could investigate the stream bed; marvelling at the caddisfly larvae constructing their miniature masterpieces that clung to underside of rocks, trying to catch the Stone Loaches (either by hand or net) that would often shoot out from beneath their hiding places or (more often successfully) the Bullheads that were always much more lethargic.
I would occasionally dream of catching the seemingly huge Brown Trout that lurked in the depths of the deepest pool, only rarely glimpsed as he (or she) surfaced to claim an emerging Mayfly that may have waited two years to escape from its watery world only to be skimmed from the surface within seconds of emerging.
Weekends in the summer were spent searching hedgerows for birds nests, trying to find a new spot for a rope swing, climbing trees or making bows and arrows out of Hazel before returning home impossibly dirty just in time for supper, feeling tired, happy and invariably intrigued.
Fast-forward to present day and now I’m a parent, fondly remembering those hours whiled away with friends, or more often in solitude, enjoying the countryside. That is when, and where, my passion for wildlife began.
So, why do my children (who are now nine and four) ask to watch television and play on computers, rather than seek the enjoyment of the outside world that so fascinated me?
Could I do more to persuade them that there is more to life than a television or computer screen?
Questions that I’m sure all parents with a passion for nature struggle with, and questions to which there are no simple answers.
As soon as my children were born I immediately tried to immerse them in nature; camping, reading them my favourite nature books at bedtime, taking them to my favourite wildlife sites and showing them some of the species that I thought would fascinate and engage them – Otters, Kingfishers, seals and many others.
By the time my son was three or four he was developing a burgeoning interest; he asked for binoculars for Christmas, started reading wildlife related books and started his own lists of species seen in the garden and further afield.
I took him to explore the hedgerows that I was so familiar with as a child (depressingly, only to find that the once abundant Yellowhammers and Linnets had all but vanished, along with many of the hedgerows) and we went to catch Stone Loaches and Bullheads in the very same steam that enthralled me as a child (only to discover that housing development had resulted in the sedimentation of the stream and the complete absence of fish).
Despite some setbacks, it appeared he was following the path I so wanted him to.
But, then he reached five years of age, and started at school. Now, when he returns home from school the front door of our house is shut and with it the door to the wildlife experiences and discoveries available to him. He is not getting the opportunity to develop his own interests, make his own discoveries and make those wildlife related memories that last a lifetime.
For any parent the safety of their children is the single most important thing. We now live in a world where the media have created a perceived environment that is apparently not fit for kids to play in alone or even with friends (yet the reality is probably little different to thirty years ago), so, as (often working) parents we need to try and find realistic alternatives, but what?
How can we best encourage a new generation connect with the environment and nature?
One of the main motivations when creating this website was to try and identify mechanisms and opportunities to engage people, but especially children, with wildlife. A recent government study indicated that 10% of children in England have not even set foot in a natural environment over a twelve-month period, a depressing statistic; we have to do more.
This lack of connection with the outside world has recently been coined Nature Deficit disorder, a non-medical term used to describe our alienation from the natural world, and the sometimes marked behavioural disorders it can lead to in children.
Over the coming weeks, months and years we will be providing ideas for parents to get their children to engage with the outdoors, and, we will be providing articles aimed at children.
Hopefully this will provide a useful resource, and help to motivate the next generation of ecologists and naturalists, or even just get children back in the woods and damming streams again!

Dr. Dubrul has found that San Luis Obispo is a community filled with countless young families yet many are still unaware of the great benefits of Chiropractic care for their pregnancies and children. How does chiropractic help children suffering from a condition which doesn’t seem to be related to their back or neck? For instance, how can chiropractic help with Asthma, Colic or Ear Infections?
In working with children who are affected by such conditions our primary mission at Powersource Chiropractic is to help the child’s body function optimally. This is achieved by restoring the nervous system which controls organ function. Chiropractic is not directed at any condition; rather, it is directed at the interference to the child’s nervous system: A Subluxation.
1. The body is a self-healing organism, designed to heal itself given the right conditions.
2. This mechanism is controlled by the nervous system and as long as nothing interferes with that function, we experience optimal health.
3. If something interferes with the nervous system, our ability to heal ourselves is interrupted.
4. The mission of Chiropractic is to remove that interference and restore health.
Simply put, a subluxation puts pressure on the nervous system which controls and coordinates all other body functions. It is through specific chiropractic adjustments that Dr. Dubrul is able to remove this interference and allow the child’s body to function optimally and heal.
Below are many helpful articles regarding these benefits. To schedule a Complimentary Consultation with Dr. Dubrul in order to better understand how chiropractic can help you or your child, call 805-781-9155 or click Complimentary Consultation.
Pediatric expert Dr. Maxine McMullen states, “Subluxations should be analyzed and corrected as soon as possible after birth to prevent these associated conditions.” (1) Moreover, these subluxations have been found to be severe enough to lead to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) due to the pressure they cause upward toward the lower brain (2) as well as creating numerous other disorders common to newborns, infants and young children. Reports show chiropractic care can be helpful in such diverse disorders as cerebral palsy, seizure disorders, ear infections, the prevention of SIDS, and others. (3) While chiropractic care is not a treatment for anything, the benefits of adjusting subluxation to remove interference has been particularly telling in the case of small children. In fact, young people need chiropractic care as much as or more than anyone to maximize proper development and minimize the advent of common infant symptoms and disease.
Dystocia is defined as difficult labor and is something every woman wants to avoid. In addition to the pain and exhaustion caused by long, difficult labors, dystocia leads to multiple, medical interventions which may be physically and emotionally traumatic to both you and your baby. Some of these interventions are the administering of pitocin, the use of epidurals, painful episiotomies, forceful pulling on the baby’s fragile spine, vacuum extraction, forceps and perhaps even c-sections. Each of these procedures carry a high risk of injury to you, your baby or both!
However, all of these procedures used to hasten the delivery process can be avoided if delivery goes more smoothly to begin with. When reviewing the obstetric texts, the reported reasons for dystocia are caused by pelvic imbalance and its resulting effects on your uterus and your baby’s position.
We, at Powersource Chiropractic offer specific analysis and adjustments for your special needs in pregnancy. You and your baby’s continued safety and comfort is primary in our care. This pregnancy, offer yourself the best! Include the many benefits chiropractic offers in your prenatal care choices. Call for your individual consultation. Give you and your baby the opportunity for a more comfortable pregnancy and a safer, easier birth.
Originally Published by I.C.P.A. Newsletter May-June 2002 References available here.
As your baby develops, your uterus enlarges to accommodate the rapid growth. So long as the pelvis is in a balanced state, the ligaments connected to the uterus maintain an equalized, supportive suspension for the uterus. If your pelvis is out of balance in any way, these ligaments become torqued and twisted, causing a condition known as constraint to your uterus. This constraint limits the space of the developing baby. Any compromised position for the baby throughout pregnancy will affect his or her optimal development. Conditions such as torticollis occur because a baby’s space was cramped in utero. If the woman’s uterus is constrained as birth approaches, the baby is prevented from getting into the best possible position for birth.
Even if the baby is in the desirable head down position, often times constraint to the uterus affects the baby’s head from moving into the ideal presentation for delivery. The head may be slightly tilted off to one side or even more traumatically, present in the posterior position. Any baby position even slightly off during birth will slow down labor, and add pain to both the mother and baby. Many women have been told that their babies were too big, or labor “just slowed down” when it was really the baby’s presentation interfering with the normal process and progression. Avoidable interventions are implemented turning a natural process into an operative one.
Most people would not consider Chiropractic care for infants and children. However, the fact of the matter is, children are very, very prone to misalignments of the spine. Their vertebra are not fully formed, nor are their ligaments and tendons fully strengthened. This, along with the fact that a child falls enough times in a day to hospitalize an adult, makes it clear children should be evaluated by a chiropractor for spinal abnormalities. And, don’t question the safety rating for Chiropractic treating children. The process is strictly AAA and cannot even be compared to the safety of medicine. Nevertheless, countless children suffer from the side effects of modern medication each week, causing malpractice insurance for pediatrics and obstetrics to be astronomical — reaching into the tens of thousands. Chiropractors, on the other hand, pay as little as $300-$500 annually for malpractice coverage. Chiropractic makes good scientific, factual and common sense for your child. I urge you not to wait until they hurt or get hurt.
The doctor of chiropractic will take a case history and perform a chiropractic exam to determine if spinal subluxations exist. Chiropractic adjusting procedures are modified to fit a child’s size, weight, and unique spinal condition. They are both gentle and specific to the child’s developing spinal structures. Most parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and look forward to subsequent visits. They also report that their children experience a greater level of health while under regular chiropractic care. To enhance your child’s ability to function in a greater state of health, we recommend having your infant, toddler or child be evaluated by Dr. Scott Dubrul who is dedicated to serving children with the utmost of care.
Birth is a normal, natural process that’s been around since the beginning of humanity. As with any other task the body was created to perform, when you support normal functioning, you have your best chance at success.
The road down the birth canal and out into the world can be a trying one, particularly in the case of medical intervention and high-tech births. (You may recall a JAMA study showing the United States ranked last in neonatal mortality, infant mortality and for the health of newborns.) As a result, there has been an ever-increasing occurrence of traumatic birth syndrome. Traumatic birth syndrome describes the presence of trauma-induced skull and spinal damage and spinal misalignment as a result of the birth process. As tough as birth is, going through it with the woman lying on her back, working against gravity, on medications to increase the intensity of labor, numb to the delivery muscles, and often accompanied by surgical interventions, makes it exponentially more traumatic. When you think about this, it’s no surprise vertebral subluxation in infants is so common.
Pre-existing unnoticed imbalances in your spine and pelvis become overtaxed during these times. The added stresses lead to discomfort and difficulty while performing routine, daily activities. Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the common discomforts experienced in pregnancy. Specific adjustments eliminate these stresses in your spine, restore balance to your pelvis and result in greater comfort and lifestyle improvements.

From februari 5 to 23, the Royal Netherlands Air Force exercises flying low with helicopters. There are two kinds of exercises: Helicopter Weapons Instructor Course (HWIC) and TAC (tactical) exercises. Usually the helicopters have most of their exercises in the south of the Netherlands, like in the neighbourhood of Oirschot. This time the exercises are east of the line Terlet – Meppel – Assen. For the exercises there is permission to fly at a 100 feet or even lower when the mission requires to. Five Chinooks, three Cougars and five Apaches are participating in the exercises.
For these exercises the helicopters and crews are temporarily stationed at Air Base Deelen. Deelen started as a satellite airfield for Soesterberg, which was used by the Luchtvaartafdeeling, back in 1914. When the Germans invaded, the field was demolished to avoid use by the Germans. This didn’t stop the Germans from building Deelen as the largest air base on Dutch territory. From 1951 to 1957 and 1963 to the closing of the air base 1995 the Groep Lichte vliegtuigen was stationed at Deelen. This group started using helicopters in 1955. Since Soesterberg closed in 2009, Deelen is operational again as Air Base, but there are no units stationed at Deelen. Helicopters often visit the Air Base for exercises with the Air Mobile Brigade which has some units stationed close to Deelen.
Many things can be practiced with simulators, but real exercises are also needed to prepare for operational missions. The TAC exercises are used to train the crews for tactical flying and tactical instruction. Exercises are to approach targets unnoticed. Often flying low is required for this, and thus it is used a lot during the exercises. The HWIC exercises are to train new weapon instructors. After finishing the course the weapon instructors are able to train crews.
Not everybody is happy with the low flying helicopters. The helicopters make a lot of noise. Many people complain that pets and cattle get scared by the noise. The peacocks and pheasants of billionaire Hans Melchers are disturbed so badly by the helicopters, that he decided to start summary proceedings to stop the exercises.
In the gallery below to find a series of photo’s of the exercises taken at De Haere near Olst. Some of these photo’s are for sale in my webshop.

After a proposal in the May 2017 Budget, in December 2018 a new law passed which will be effective from the new financial year 2019.
From 1 July 2018, older Australians may choose to add to their superannuation accounts using the profit from the sale of their family home. If you’ve owned your primary property for 10 years or longer, and the property is in your name as your main residence (exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT)), then up to $300,000 of the profit-from-sale may be added to your superannuation account as an after-tax contribution.
This is an attractive incentive for those retirees wanting to access their equity in their home to enjoy their retirement years with more money to live or, when the time comes, to support themselves with in-home care.
If you are a couple, then the new law entitles each of you to contribute up to $300,000, thus giving you both up to $600,000 towards your superannuation. Even more enticing, this after-tax contribution may be made in addition to your voluntary contributions made under the existing after-tax contributions cap.
The new law does not require you to purchase a new property after the sale of your current main residence, so your living arrangements would be your choice and entirely up to you to decide upon. What might you do to improve your retirement?
For more detailed information about and the legal parameters of this new possibility for you to improve your retirement standard of living through downsizing your residence to upsize your superannuation pool, please consult your accountant. | 2019-04-22T10:22:21 | http://ymlgroup.com.au/downsize-your-home-upsize-your-super/ |

City and county jails across the country offer different types of programs for incarcerated offenders. A common program offered to certain types of inmates in these institutions is jail work release.
The primary function of jail work release is to allow a non-violent offender the chance to maintain employment while serving a sentence.
Some jails do not have specific requirements regarding the length of a sentence to qualify for work release. On the other hand, some institutions require a minimum sentence of 30 days.
The primary benefits of jail work release is the ability of an inmate to keep his job while incarcerated and to continue to support his family in the process.
Typical jail work release programs require an inmate to submit a weekly work schedule and telephone the jail upon arrival and departure from the workplace. Some programs allow short periods weekly for personal time in the community (usually about four hours).
The sentencing judge normally must issue an order approving a person for participation in work release.

Huddleston was also part of a potent 1-2 combo. He and backcourt mate Jarrett Sparks combined to average over 45 points per game. Now, Sparks is playing football for Cal and Huddleston -- who has signed to play basketball for Pacific next year -- will be the Bears' main focus.
The Modesto Metro Conference appears to be wide open, especially with the absence of top players Nate Jackson (Modesto) and Malachi Batt (Johansen) from their teams' rosters. Enochs is off to a fast start behind 6-foot-9-inch post player Marcus Banks and Beyer will contend with 6-6 center Bryan Garbez.
The Central California Conference features two of the area's top guards in Huddleston and Turlock's Travis Souza. New Buhach Colony coach John Bliss has the Thunder running and gunning to the tune of 84.1 points per game and a 6-2 start.
And watch out for Livingston in the Western Athletic Conference. The Wolves beat Division I teams Laguna Creek, Enochs and Armijo to win the Armijo Tournament last week, and 6-5 center Harnarinder Johal went for a near school-record 46 points in the victory over Laguna Creek on his way to tournament MVP honors. | 2019-04-19T08:25:42 | https://www.mercedsunstar.com/news/state/article3238750.html |
I've got 365 days to get it right for this one after being an ever-not-present for the first 3 years.
It has to be your year next year, GF!
I'm in as pre registered at the expo. Let's hope things go to plan next year and I get my sub 4.
Pre-registered for next year so I will be there, can it get any better?
Starting to get the munchies now, will probably spend the day eating!
STIG - its never too early for chocolate, I had Easter eggs and Christmas cake yesterday!
Hi got to run next year as i had a DNF yesterday!!
Fourth time lucky Green Fairy!
What an amazing atmosphere yesterday - I'm sure it's just getting better and better!
I've pre-registered for next year and will log on to sign up officially once I've been paid!
Sweet potato muffins for breakfast for me today! I got the recipe from the RW magazine - and would recommend them!
i'm in as i deferred from this year. having read all the great comments on the 2012 thread determined to get this one under my belt.
I'm probably biased as I live in Brighton but it's one big party on marathon day!
Is it really that good. Fancy a 2013 marathon and weighing up London vs Brighton. ?
GET IN... Fantastic day yesterday, great support as always and a PB this year too.
Roll on 2013 as I've pre registered. Just hope the blisters have gone and the toe nail I now seem to be missing has grown back by then.
Glory boy I hope your starting to feel stronger !
Stig, very kind of you to ask (especially given your efforts yesterday!!!) feeling better every day. its difficult balancing my desperation to get running again and the need to take things slowly enough to avoid injury etc. i'm fortunate that family, friends & running club are all keeping a watchful eye on me.
hope your recovery goes well and you enjoy the special feeling that comes with running a marathon. i look forward to seeing you next year!
Toby was that you in the Preston Park Tavern yesterday?
I pre-registered too, on the basis that if I changed my mind I would only lose £10. However, I enjoyed it so much that I will definitely be entering this one, and one of friends who watched (and is a marathon veteran) is entering on the basis of how good the atmosphere was. And this time round I will definitely be contributing to the forum more, as I really enjoyed reading all the posts.
Signed up at the Brighton Centre on Saturday - will be my 3rd time of running it (ran it in 2011 in 04:29:26 and then yesterday in 03:59:46) - really don't know how I'll ever top that but I shall certainly give it a good go!
When does the online entry open....is it tomorrow?
Anyone know how we enter if not done already/?????
Not sure if I'm running Brighton next year or not at the moment - It was a great race yesterday and I will definitely run it again, but I got a GFA for london and a Boston qualifier so might have a go at one of those instead.
A ballot ? What happned to first come first served. Did not make it to the BC and now may not get in? Crazy.....well annoying.
Have not yet seen a site for the entry/ballot!!
Hello, hello! Toenails haven't even fallen off yet from 2012, and here I am. Looking forward to it, now that I know what to expect! Maybe we should hire a bongo band to cheer us up at the power station. Or in Paris in the Bois de Boulogne they had a band with a camp man wearing a sparkly wig. Something like that.
AGF - if it's like 2012, first come first served entries open tomorrow morning, of which there are a limited number. After those run out it's a ballot. I think this is how Edinburgh works? Anyway, if you sign up tomorrow you should be fine.
I must have been seeing and hearing things, but I was sure there was a band playing steel drums at the powerstation. They were in the carpark (next to Carats Cafe) or just after the shower, maybe next year there need to be more drummers?
Am I going marathon mad?
NO, it was probably me as my husband thought that too. I was just feeling down then - perhaps nothing could have sparked me up. It is a rather dull part of the course, but I guess they are trying to balance that with making it as flat as possible.
When is the 2013 race?
AGF: it must still be first come first serve for the first amount of places, otherwise they would have not been letting people guarantee numbers at the expo for £10.
You're right that is a dull stretch, and just a the point where the support is needed. I really had to dig deep there. I am glad that there was no wall there this year as there was in the last 2 years, it added a visual reminder as to how painful it was at that point.
I'm going to take a guess at either 14 or 21 April 2013, but we should find out when the ballot opens tomorrow. | 2019-04-21T16:59:04 | https://forums.runnersworld.co.uk/discussion/191339/brighton-marathon-2013 |
Life and health insurance agencies are constantly on the lookout for ways to make commissions management an easier task. However, sometimes the way agencies are tracking commissions can make this difficult.
You want to save time without compromising accuracy.
You want to save money.
You want to be paid everything you're owed from carriers.
You want to learn from your data to make smarter business decisions.
Overall, you want to protect your bottom line.
Let’s talk more about AgencyBloc's Commissions Processing.
Commissions processing and tracking is an integral part of the insurance industry. And though it’s something most agencies do, many still haven’t figured out an efficient way.
Spreadsheets. Using spreadsheets to track commissions requires you to maintain the organization of the sheet and ensure accuracy in the calculations. This is a line-by-line tactic that takes time and continual effort.
Third-party commissions tool. If an agency is using a CRM without commissions tools, they’ll have to find an external resource. Some agencies are using third-party commissions tools to fill the gap. However, these third-party solutions can be expensive and time-consuming.
Industry-specific agency management system (AMS). This is the best case scenario for insurance agency commissions processing. You have all of your information (individuals, groups, agents, policies, carriers AND commissions data) in one system. When it’s in one central location, there's less you have to do manually.
Let’s talk more about processing commissions in AgencyBloc.
In AgencyBloc, some initial setup is necessary for processing commissions. Once steps 1-3 are complete, you don’t need to repeat them (except for any new data going forward).
The first step is to set up your clients and their policies. This can be done via our import process or manually.
*Note: This is the minimum amount of information necessary to process commissions. Typically, agencies will track additional information for customer service and cross-sell opportunities.
The next step is to set up rate tables that can be referenced by multiple policies. Rate tables can be configured using percent of premium, percent of commission received, per life, or as a flat amount. They can also specify payouts based on carrier, coverage type, or plan code. If compensation adjustments need to be made, rate schedules offer a convenient way to quickly adjust payouts for hundreds of policies.
*Note: Rate tables can be simple or complex depending on your needs. Our team can provide you with assistance to establish the right structure for your needs.
Policies may have an unlimited number of agents assigned for commissions. Typical scenarios include paying a referral fee, trainer fee, manager override, or agency override. Each of these agents can be paid differently. Typically, a rate schedule will be utilized for each payee. However, a manual amount can be specified if a unique payout is required.
Payee schedules allow you to add more than one payee to a policy. Add payees to a hierarchy, each with their respective commission rates/amounts, and then add them to a group. Finally, add whole groups to policies.
AgencyBloc was built to save time and improve accuracy in commissions processing. With these two goals in mind, the most appreciated aspect of our system hinges on Carrier Imports.
If your agency is receiving electronic commission statements, we can build import maps for directly importing that information into AgencyBloc. When these files are uploaded, AgencyBloc will match the information to the policies you have set up and automatically calculate commissions. This import process significantly reduces the amount of time spent manually inputting data.
*Note: Once your account has been configured, the import and payment calculation will take only seconds. Our clients have carrier imports containing tens of thousands of records; it takes less than 2 minutes to process these files.
If some carriers aren’t providing you with electronic statements, AgencyBloc has a “Standard Import” that can still assist.
Reconciliation is a simple process. When commissions are imported, you’ll see which policies were linked to the carrier’s statement. You'll see each payment that was calculated and any policies that didn’t match. AgencyBloc highlights any exceptions that require further investigation. Lastly, a quick snapshot of total premiums, total commissions payable, and net commissions is shown.
Once all your carrier commissions are reconciled for the payment period, you’re ready to generate commission statements. Statements can be run in spreadsheet or PDF format. You can run statements monthly, bi-weekly or daily, if you choose. Statements can be organized by sub-agency in order to facilitate paying multiple companies under your agency.
Agent statements show the premium paid and the amount owed for each policy. You can organize your statements by carrier or policyholder.
Customize your commission statements to fit your agency’s needs.
Brand your statements by adding your logo and address. Also, choose which data to show (or not show), like premium, month, lives, commission received, and commission received with percent.
With AgencyBloc, view business performance with real-time graphs and robust reporting tools.
Use these graphs to view a snapshot of commissions activity in your agency.
Agent statements - view premium paid and amount owed for each policy.
Commission totals - view the total premium and commission paid to an agent or agency.
Commission not received - uncover missed commission payments from the carrier.
Commission payments - how much commission the agency earned, who received payment and how.
Commission received/paid - commission paid to the agency, paid to agents, and the net commission left over.
Commission received by policy or by group - what dates commission payments were received by policy or across all policies for a group.
Actual vs. expected - compare what you received with what you projected.
Projection tables - find which policies are connected to what projection table. Make sure you have the right table for each policy.
Policy commission payees - view which payee is set to get paid commission on each policy.
Commission projections - find what commissions are projected on each policy.
If you’re in need of something else, use Custom Reporting! Filter down to only the data you want to see, and choose which columns you’d like to include.
From initial setup to end reports, AgencyBloc's Commissions Module has helped countless agencies. Agencies who use AgencyBloc have cut processing time by 75% and have found thousands of dollars in missed commissions. One agency was able to reinvest $30,000 usually spent in processing commissions back into their business.

When the trove of State Department cables were released late last month, we reported on a document that alleged Armenia had sold arms to Iran, which were used in Iraq to kill an American soldier and injure seven others. At the time, the State Department issued a terse warning and threatened sanctions against Armenia. Since this news was reported, both US and Armenian officials have downplayed the event and have stated that the revelation will not adversely affect US-Armenia relations. On Tuesday, a two-part article in Der Spiegel regarding US efforts to curtail weapons smugglers reported from the WikiLeaks documents, details Armenia’s role in the arms sales. The German Der-Spiegel is one of four media outlets that were given the entire cache of documents by WikiLeaks.
There is nothing new in the Der-Spiegel article, other than the quantity of weapons and the alleged source.
The whole affair smells of a setup – assuming there is any truth to it.
Let’s not forget that Bush Administration blatantly lied to the American people about the so-called WMDs in Iraq in order to illegally invade it.
The CIA cooked up so-called ‘intelligence’ about WMDs and showed them to Secretary State Colin Powell for his speech at the UN – the precursor to the invasion. Powell later said (in 2005) he regretted making that speech – diplomatic speak for saying he was lied to by the CIA.
Bush Administration was full of Neo-Cons, who are unabashedly Turkophile, including Mr. Negroponte, so why wouldn’t they manufacture lies to setup Armenia ?
If the CIA – under orders from President Bush (or VP Cheney) – set up and lied to their own U.S. Secretary of State in order to achieve their illegal aims, why wouldn’t they do the same to Armenia ?
Why would Armenia buy RPG-22s from Bulgaria of all places, when RPG-22 is a Russian weapon: they could have gotten it practically free from Russia, under the mutual defense agreement terms.
Why would Armenia buy heavy machine guns from Bulgaria ?
If Armenia intended to send them to Iran, why wouldn’t they change or erase the Serial Numbers, thus making them untraceable ?
If, big if, the transaction took place, it was a false-flag operation planned and executed to entrap Defense Minister Sargsyan . Why was the affair kept secret by the U.S. if it was genuine ? There was no love lost between Bush Administration and Armenia, so why not stick it to RoA ? Nothing in this story adds up.
In August of 2007, the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) said the Pentagon cannot track about 30% of the weapons distributed by US military in Iraq over the past three years.
These weapons were under 100% control of the U.S. military in Iraq, and they lost track of them inside Iraq. How many of those weapons ended up in the hands of Iraqi ‘insurgents’ ? How many of those weapons were used to kill American servicemen ?
Now, the same military/intelligence were somehow able to track 1,000 RPGs and 260 machine guns all the way from Bulgaria, to Armenia, thru Iran, then to Iraq – and then tie the weapons to the death of a single American serviceman ?
Wow! this should be better than wikileaks.
First, we need to know the person who leaked this news to the State Department. Second, after identifying the person, we should look into and see if there’s a connection between this person/persons and the ADL or the Israel lobby. I smell a ‘RAT’.
Well that’s stupid. Having economic relations with Iran is defensible given that Armenia is land-locked and with 2 closed borders. But selling weapons to Iran given the international issues? Especially since Armenia needs those weapons herself!
The weapons transfers were wrong. However, keep in mind that the US sells 70% of the weapons in the world, and that it is for certain that these weapons kill all sorts of innocent people, including Americans themselves.
Instead of sanctioning armenia they should fined nuclear weapon in iraq and let USA sanction azerbajan about. $3.5 billion budget for arsenal, highest in its size and in region. | 2019-04-19T19:04:42 | http://asbarez.com/89869/wikileaks-details-armenian-weapons-sale/ |
WATERVILLE, Maine (WABI) - The Waterville City Council voted against a measure that would have asked two local colleges to pay millions of dollars to lower residents tax rates.
Councilors voted 4-1 against Tuesday night.
It was a petition put forward by Mark Andre, a candidate for the State Legislature.
It would have asked Colby and Thomas Colleges to contribute a combined 15-million dollars over the next five years.
Both school presidents were at the meeting.
Andre said that his plan is to continue collecting signatures and re-submit this petition to the newly seated council after the November election. | 2019-04-19T20:56:45 | https://www.wabi.tv/content/news/Waterville-City-Council-votes-against-asking-Colby-Thomas-for-money-to-lower-tax-rates-493667821.html |

On the last day of the National Council on Public History annual meeting in Las Vegas, I saw a couple of conference tweets that really resonated with me.
A pin I received at the 2017 AASLH annual meeting.
These struck me in part because I very much see “using history…for advocacy” and “speak[ing] out as advocates” as core tenets of my professional identity, but also because it was the first time I really felt like history as advocacy took on a central role at a public history conference. Don’t get me wrong—it’s always there—but I’ve always felt like I had to seek it out on the fringes, and it wasn’t always easy to find. This year was different. The idea that historians should be advocates seems to have taken a much more central role in conference sessions than ever before.
This probably results from a mixture of things, including the current political climate, the turn in public history toward the importance of demonstrating the relevance of history, the coming of age of a generation of people oriented toward advocacy and social action, the push for inclusivity in our professional organizations and the field at large, and history and other cultural organizations increasingly committing themselves to using their resources to build dialogue and community between diverse groups of people. Whatever it is, the idea that public historians should be neutral is being pushed aside by people who believe that we should be advocates. And good riddance– the idea of neutrality among public historians has always been problematic. Not everyone can afford to be neutral. The idea that historians should be advocates isn’t new, of course. But the difference now is that the folks who see the urgency and necessity of advocacy-oriented history are starting to lead the way forward.
I saw this reflected in a number of conference presentations. Rachel Boyle, my friend, colleague, and Omnia co-conspirator, is actively searching for alternative economic models for doing public history work. She discussed her efforts at the “Negotiating Power Lines: Economic Justice and the Ethics of Public History” working group, and you can read her thoughts about this here. For my part, I’m interested in how historians advocate for change on the local level—the places where we live and work and where the policies that shape so much of our day-to-day lived experience are determined. The presenters at the roundtable I was part of, “Exploring the Ties Between Local History and Grassroots Change,” talked about this phenomenon in the past and present, and we engaged in a robust conversation with the audience about strategies for undertaking meaningful and change-making local history projects.
And historic preservation efforts at Restore Oregon, presented by Victoria Hensley (@vg_hensley).
Andrea, Kimber, and Victoria talked about how they use local history to advocate for progressive social change and create spaces in which residents can have conversations about issues of urgent local importance. Tim Kneeland and I rounded out the discussion by presenting about some of the ways in which local historians used local history in the past– the history of local history– and how their efforts shaped the local spaces we’re navigating in the present.
It’s gratifying to see the turn professional public historians are taking toward advocacy-oriented work, and I’m looking forward to seeing how this shapes future conferences and the field more broadly. The notion that public historians should be neutral is dying. Long live the idea that we should be advocates. | 2019-04-26T08:47:22 | https://omniahistory.com/2018/05/historians-should-be-advocates |

Genbey Yamaguchi, the tenth generation owner of the famous Kyoto obi specialist, Kondaya, which has remained a leader in its field for 278 years, is a rare breed of man. His bold character is like that of a Japanese Samurai of the Sengoku period.
Yamaguchi believes that challenging tradition is the best way to protect it. He uses the skills and old materials passed down to him through the generations. He also incorporates many new methods and materials that are unheard-of to most, defying the notion of what is possible in his craft.
Taking dyeing and weaving skills that trace back to the Heisei era, Yamaguchi strives to pass down these Japanese techniques into the future, as part of a proud tradition within Japanese culture.
This exhibition is entitled ‘ Weaving Lalique’, and the artist – in the spirit of competition - has taken up a direct challenge to Rene Lalique, who played an active part in the creation of glass works in the 19th – 20th century.
Yamaguchi has successfully created obi reminiscent of Lalique’s Art Nouveau glasses containing curved lines and organic motifs like plants and flowers.
Ginza Ippodo Gallery introduces a number of obi, woven with the best threads, color and patterns created by exceptional craftsmen.
2002 Created kimono using silk from koishimaru, an ancient species of silkworm indigenous to Japan only recently made available to the wider world after having been cultivated exclusively in the Momijiyama Imperial Cocoonery.
The resulting works are shown in an exhibition entitled Kaguya Kono Mayu Koishimaru at the Sōgetsu Kaikan in Tokyo, for which he received the Nikkei MJ Award.
2003 Received Japan Culture Design Award.
2014 Created obi inspired by the works of the painter Matsui Fuyuko. Exhibited at Roppongi Hills in Tokyo (March) and Kondaya Genbey’s headquarters in Kyoto (April). | 2019-04-25T16:27:47 | https://ippodogallery.com/exhibitions.php?location=tokyo&exhibition=92 |
Over the weekend, the Boston Globe ran a story about the challenges facing school districts in Massachusetts’ “Gateway Cities,” 24 former industrial cities across the state, in establishing partnerships with nonprofits providing services or funding to schools. The article,”Smaller Mass. cities seek non-profit to bolster schools,” reported that almost 75% of the 40 turnaround schools named by the state since 2010 have been in outlying cities, but for a host of reasons, the bulk of partnerships seem to be concentrated in more populated urban areas like Boston.
This article comes on the heels of Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick’s proposed 2013 budget, which includes funding for his “Gateway Cities Education Agenda,” an initiative he announced in November. The agenda comprises five strategies aiming to close the achievement gap, including a student support effort to be funded by a proposed $3.6 million. The Governor proposed creation of Student Support Councils in Gateway City schools and hiring Student Support Counselors to provide comprehensive services to students and their families.
Already, a movement is taking root among some nonprofits to look beyond Boston. ACCESS, which provides college financial aid advice to middle and high school students, has expanded to Springfield. So has City Connects, an organization at Boston College that puts counselors in local schools to help connect students and their families to a variety of programs. | 2019-04-23T23:57:07 | https://cityconnectsblog.org/2012/02/13/city-connects-in-the-boston-globe-2/ |
There have been a number of developments that have slowed progress on rolling out the program, most notably Microsoft's response to GPLv3 and necessary preparations for a potential legal challenge against this response. The Free Software community needs confidence in the license; it needs to be clear that Microsoft cannot play fast and loose with GPLv3. To that end, FSF US released a statement on August 28, 2007.
FSF US continues to develop the license revision resources at gplv3.fsf.org. Although both the GPLv3 and LGPLv3 are released, they are still revising the new GNU Affero General Public License (GNU AGPLv3), the GNU Free Documentation License (GNU FDLv2), and the GNU Simplified Documentation License (GNU SFDL). Both the AGPL and FDL licenses are expected to be finalized before the end of October 2007.
The GNU FDL and SFDL license development projects are very closely linked to the needs of Wikipedia. Currently, all text on Wikipedia is covered by the FDL, making it the most important "free art" license in the world.
The next phase is to complete a popular guide to changes between GPLv2 and GPLv3. The deadline for the completion of that is October 1, 2007.
Because not everyone can handle reading texts describing license provisions and what they mean, FSF US is creating a series of video tutorials explaining different aspects of GPLv3. The first of these is targeted to be released on November 19, 2007.
Worth to mention that SugarCRM in their press release announced to use to GPLv3. | 2019-04-18T22:31:04 | https://nlnet.nl/project/gpl3/20070914-report.html |
(World Health Organization) – One third of more than 700 health facilities in Borno State, north-eastern Nigeria, have been completely destroyed, according to a report released today by WHO. Of those facilities remaining, one third are not functioning at all. “High insecurity, difficult terrain and lack of health workers, medicines, equipment and basic amenities such as safe water are making access to essential, lifesaving health care extremely difficult for people in this conflict-affected area,” says Dr Wondi Alemu, WHO Representative in Nigeria. | 2019-04-19T10:14:55 | https://bioethics.georgetown.edu/2016/12/full-impact-of-devastated-health-services-in-northern-nigeria-revealed-by-who-report/ |
Mascarpone that creamy filling that helps give Tiramisu it’s light yet indulgent texture. But what is mascarpone cheese ? And just what exactly can you do with it? It is not only in desserts that mascarpone makes an appearance it is also found in several pasta dishes and some rissottos.
What is Mascarpone Cheese ?
Mascarpone is made by basically taking cream and coagulating it with some form of acid. That acid for the most part is either lemon juice or some form of vinegar.
The process is similar to how Ricotta is made. However that’s pretty much where the similarities end. Ricotta is produced from the whey, whereas mascarpone is made from the remaining curds. Mascarpone is produced from cow’s milk. It is one of many famous Italian cheeses along with Ricotta, Gorgonzola, Pecorino and Grana Padano or Parmesan.
Mascarpone has a creamy yet light, smooth texture that is somewhere between whipped cream and cream cheese. It mixes well with cold liquids however care must be taken when adding it to anything hot. Add a small bit at a time and fold into the dish rather than stirring vigorously.
It has a fairly subtle flavor on its own. However when it is used with a nice sweet flavor such as a fruit jam or honey it really starts to shine. Paired with something sweet it’s creamy taste and texture gives a great contrast. The rich flavor is due to the high butterfat content.
If you are stuck without any mascarpone in your local store then there are a few alternatives that you can use as a mascarpone substitute.
Ricotta is the obvious mascarpone replacement but because it has a lower fat content it may be best to use it only in savory dishes. It tends to have a lumpy texture than mascarpone so is not that suitable for sweet dishes.
Crème fraiche and cream cheeses are also good in savory dishes.
Alternatively you could also use a really thick Greek yogurt if you can get your hands on one. The yogurt in this instance is best suited to sweeter dishes like desserts.
If none of the above are available you can make a sort of alternative to mascarpone from cream cheese and with some double cream and a little bit of very soft butter. You may need to play around with the ratio’s depending on the type of cream cheese and just how heavy the double cream is.
If you are having trouble finding mascarpone where you live then fear not if you are really stuck and none of the mascarpone substitutes above are available then you can make your own. The prep time only takes about 10 minutes but you will need to leave it in the refrigerator over night.
Place a deep saucepan with the cream in it over a low heat.
Bring the cream to a fairly low simmer. Note: do not boil the cream.
Using a thermometer is best. You want it to simmer at about 180 F.
Let if simmer for roughly 3 minutes.
Add the lemon juice stirring gently to ensure it is well mixed.
Let simmer for a further 3 minutes.
Take off the heat and let cool for about an hour.
Using a strainer with several layers of cheesecloth pushed into it add the mixture into the cheesecloth.
Let it sit in the fridge over night and allow any surplus whey to drain.
In the morning it should be ready for you to enjoy.
For the most part mascarpone is quite readily available across the Us. However in some smaller towns it may be harder to find. You can usually find it in the fridge next to the crème fresh or the cream cheeses.
The majority of mascarpone in the US is made in the US. However you may be able to find some importer ones from Italy in a specialty Italian food store or in a cheese mongers. But you should expect to pay significantly more for the imported versions than those that are produced on US soil.
Mascarpone has a much higher fat content than cream cheese. It is made using an acid whereas cream cheese is produced using a lactic acid bacteria.

The view of Mount Marcy near the winter tree line. Photo by Phil Brown.
The equinox occurred on March 20. The baseball season opened on April 2. Nevertheless, spring has not arrived on the top of Mount Marcy.
I skied Marcy this past Monday and found good conditions from Adirondak Loj all the way to the summit (see videos below).
With this week’s rain and warm weather, conditions won’t be as good this weekend, but the snow at higher elevations will be around for quite a while. The last signpost on Marcy, about a half-mile from the top, was mostly buried, with just a foot or so sticking out of the snow.
Hikers and snowshoers sometimes forget—or don’t realize—that snow at higher elevations can linger for weeks after it disappears in the valleys. And that skiers may still be skiing the summits when it’s 65 degrees at the trailhead.
On my trip, I encountered six other skiers—and this was a Monday. Incidentally, only two of the six were local.
Mount Marcy’s summit. Photo by Phil Brown.
I also saw four hikers bare-booting toward Marcy Dam. Regulations for the High Peaks Wilderness require hikers to wear snowshoes if the snow is at least eight inches deep. The aim is to prevent post-holing. In this instance, though, the trail was hard as ice, and their boots hardly dented the surface. When I caught up with them at the dam, I saw they were carrying snowshoes.
“We didn’t ruin your trail, did we?” one asked.
“We’d put on our snowshoes then,” she said.
As spring progresses, the weather warms, and the snow softens, it will make a difference: bare-booters could do a lot of damage to a trail.
I remember skinning up the Marcy trail on a warm spring day and encountering a hiker on the ridge above the Corkscrew (a steep, twisty section of trail) who was sinking up to his knees in snow. He was frustrated. I was annoyed.
“You should be wearing snowshoes,” I admonished.
“The season’s over,” he rejoined.
Right. That’s why you’re up to your knees in the stuff.
Another time I was skiing down the Corkscrew when I saw several snowshoers gathered at the bottom. I yelled a warning, and they stepped to the side—all except one. I had to do a quick stop.
It turns out these snowshoers had been bare-booting for miles. They finally decided to put on their snowshoes after sinking continually into the snow. It didn’t occur to them that the base of the frequently skied Corkscrew is not the best place to stop. The reason that one guy didn’t move is that he had sunk up to his thighs.
If you’re heading up Mount Marcy in spring, or any of the High Peaks, don’t be fooled by balmy conditions downstate or at the trailhead. It may still be arctic-like on the summit. Indeed, one time I skied Mount Marcy and played golf, in Ray Brook, on the same day. On another occasion, I started skiing from the Loj on a warm day in late April, and though I was sweating much of the way, when I reached tree line, I encountered a fierce wind and freezing wind chill. I put on a winter hat, gloves, and puffy jacket. Continuing upward, I passed a hiker in shorts. He looked miserable.
So check the conditions before you head up high. If there’s snow, bring snowshoes.
Here are conditions for this weekend from Adirondack Almanack, the online journal owned by the Explorer.
I recorded two short videos on my trip. The first was taken on my descent of the summit cone. The second was taken on the cruise along Phelps Brook, a mellow section but a bit rocky. Enjoy! | 2019-04-25T05:13:49 | https://www.adirondackexplorer.org/outtakes/spring-skiing-mount-marcy |
A ground breaking, first ever comprehensive probe of the fitness and health benefits of all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and off-road motorcycle (ORM) recreational riding. The national study expanded on an Ontario pilot study of the health benefits of off-road motorcycle (ORM) riding.
Jamie F. Burr, Veronica K. Jamnik, Jim A. Shaw and Professor Norman Gledhill at York University’s Physical Activity and Chronic Disease Unit, Faculty of Health agreed to conduct the study and for Jamie Burr, a kinesiologist and exercise physiologist at York, the research would be part of his PhD. The purpose of the research -- to characterize the physiological demands of recreational ORV riding under typical ORV riding conditions using habitual recreation off-road vehicle riders.
The study was approved by the university’s human research ethics review board, and in accord with research ethics guidelines, written and informed consent was provided by all participants, with those younger than 18 yr also providing parental consent after verbal explanation of procedures.
This published report (July 2010 issue of Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, the Official Journal of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), “Physiological Demands of Off-Road Vehicle Riding”) on one component of the research focuses specifically on the physiological demands of off-road vehicle (ORV) riding, compares them to the demands of other recreational activities, and explores the health and fitness benefits that ORV participation can provide to Canadians.
Subsequent publications will examine the fitness and health of habitual recreational off-road riders; their own health perceptions, lifestyle behaviours and quality of life; and fitness and health training adaptations from six to eight weeks of ORV riding (i.e. how much ORV riding is required for health and fitness benefits to be derived).
Study began in 2007 with a nationwide survey involving 310 participant to determine the characteristics of a “typical” rider and of a “typical” ride (Phase I). This information was then used as the basis to determine the health and fitness impacts of off-road riding (Phase II).
Phase II involved 128 riders – male and female divided between the age groups of 16-29, 30-49 and 50+. Riders were first familiarized with the trail for safety reasons. All riders used their own riding gear and vehicles to avoid the necessity of having to adjust to new equipment. Riders wore specially designed helmets and equipment that allowed researchers to monitor and measure the physical demands of off-road riding (heart rate, oxygen consumption, muscular involvement (fatigue), and rate of exertion).
Off-road vehicle riding was determined to be a recreational activity associated with moderate-intensity cardiovascular demand and fatigue-inducing muscular strength challenges, similar to other self-paced recreational sports such as golf, rock-climbing and alpine skiing.
Oxygen consumption, which is an indicator of physical work, increased by 3.5 and 6 times the resting values for ATV and ORM riding respectively – which falls within moderate intensity activity according to the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines and is in line with Canadian physical activity recommendations.
Using heart rate measurements alone, the demands of riding belong to the category of “hard” exercise – this increase of intensity may be linked to heighten psycho emotional responses (i.e. adrenalin), an effect of heat stress while riding, or a response to repeated isometric squeezing of the handlebars. | 2019-04-20T16:12:26 | http://www.calgaryatvriders.com/can-atving-be-healthy-for-you-.html |
Ask Your Gainesville Dentist: What Are Some Must-Haves for Cleaning Braces and Aligners?
When the majority of our Gainesville patients think of orthodontic treatments, like braces or aligners, they focus on the aesthetic value of having straighter teeth. While corrected crooked teeth can certainly make you more confident in your smile, orthodontic treatments also do more than that.
When you get braces or aligners, caring for your dental appliances is also essential to maintain the health of your teeth and gums. Luckily, there are a variety of products that your Gainesville dentist can recommend that can make that job easy. If you aren’t sure what are the must-haves for carrying for braces and aligners, here’s what you need to know.

OK Go has collaborated with plenty of brands—including Chevrolet, Google, Samsung and State Farm—on its own music videos. But here is the first truly traditional commercial the band has ever filmed. Though of course, this being OK Go, it's far from typical.
The ad, which the band worked on in China for much of February, is for the Chinese furniture store Red Star Macalline. Full of optical illusions, it visually references OK Go's 2014 video "The Writing's on the Wall" (which the band later accused Apple of ripping off) but is set to another OK Go track, "I Won't Let You Down" (a remixed version by drummer Dan Konopka). | 2019-04-22T18:18:16 | https://www.adweek.com/creativity/ok-gos-first-official-ad-chinese-furniture-and-its-full-optical-illusions-163666/ |
When The Bellarmine-Jefferson High girls' volleyball team was struggling during the early portion of the season, Coach Miguel Segura still had hope.
The coach figured his team would fight out of its funk in time to capture its sixth straight Santa Cruz League championship.
The Guards not only won the league crown, they did so without dropping a match in league play. Bell-Jeff finished 8-0 in league Tuesday with a 25-21, 25-13, 25-22, victory against host St. Anthony.
"I knew that sooner or later the girls would come around and start playing like I know that they could," said Segura, whose squad increased its unbeaten league streak to 44. "Our goal at the beginning of the season was to win another league championship, and we were able to do that."
Under Segura, Bell-Jeff (11-6-2) has the longest league-title winning streak of any team, in any sport, in the city.
Against St. Anthony, All-CIF Southern Section middle blocker Jocelyn Cervantes had 13 kills and 12 digs. Teammate Taryn Nelson had 10 kills and Amanda Maalouf contributed 32 assists.
"We're almost to where I want us to be," said Segura, a Bell-Jeff graduate. "I won't say we're completely there yet, but we have definitely improved."
In early-season matches, the Guards struggled at times after the loss of some key players from last year's team and the addition of athletes who were playing volleyball for the first time.
Next up for Bell-Jeff, ranked No. 5 in CIF Southern Section Division IV-A, is the playoffs, as the pairings will be announced today. Last season, the Guards made it to the division semifinals and in 2009 advanced to the first championship contest in program history.
"We have had some pretty good playoff runs the last few years," Segura said. "We are hoping to have another run this year, and maybe we can win it all. We are looking forward to CIF." | 2019-04-18T11:06:26 | https://www.latimes.com/socal/burbank-leader/sports/tn-blr-xpm-2011-11-05-tn-blr-sp-1105-guardsvolley-20111105-story.html |

Allergy refers to the exaggerated reaction by our immune system in response to bodily contact with certain foreign substances. Exaggerated because these foreign substances are usually seen by the body as harmless sessuatu and no response occurs in people who are not allergic. The bodies of people who are allergic to recognize foreign material and part of the immune system is activated. Allergenic ingredients called "allergens". Examples of allergens include pollens, dust mites, molds, and foods. To understand the language of allergy it is important to remember that allergens are substances that are foreign to the body and can cause an allergic reaction in certain people.
When allergens come in contact with the body, it causes the immune system to develop an allergic reaction in people who are allergic to it. When you inappropriately react to allergens that are generally not harmful to other people, you have an allergic reaction and can be referred to as allergic or atopic. By karananya, people who tend to get called allergic or atopic allergies.
Austrian pediatrician named Clemens Pirquet (1874-1929) first used the term allergy. He referred to both immunity lucrative and dangerous as allergic hypersensitivity. The word allergy comes from the Greek words "allos," meaning different or changed and "ergos," meaning work or action. Allergy broadly referred to as "reaction change". The word allergy was first used in 1905 to describe the adverse reactions of children who are given repeated injections of horse serum to fight infection. The following year, the term allergy is proposed to explain the reactivity of the change is not expected this.
1. Estimated that approximately 50 million Americans are affected by allergic conditions.
2. The cost of allergies in America is more than U.S. $ 10 billion annually.
3. Allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies) affects about 35 million Americans, 6 million of them are children.
4. Asthma affects 15 million Americans, 5 million of them are children.
5. Number of cases of asthma doubled over the last 20 years. | 2019-04-18T20:29:54 | https://www.ib-article.com/2012/10/understanding-allergies-and-fact.html |

Scratches are still fine because we are going to do two things to this. Both issues will need some paint, paintbrush, and some easy decoration we adore. Prior to doing so, ensure we have cleaned the inside parts so that the blot dust, or woods-left won’t be there although we perform our own job . Now, all set for some time?
In the event you’ve got normal concept to the shower, you only have to get a Japanese wall or place alteration. That you don’t need to get the whole wall ended with these Japanese style.

Our calves, a product of Angus cross cows and registered Angus Bulls, are born right on Grant Creek Ranch and are bred for optimum beef quality. These are the same stock that we are use for our grass-fed beef program. These calves should yield choice plus to prime beef if they are put in a feeding program.
At this time we have for sale 650 pound, weaned calves that are located at our Carney, Oklahoma pre-conditioning ranch. These calves have been wormed in the spring and fall. They have also received two rounds of vaccinations. Vaccination records are available for the last round given in December.
Our calves are given a round of vaccines at branding time. The bull calves are banded at this time and all of the calves are given identification ear tags. The calves are allowed to graze freely with the herd and are very easy to wean due to the stress free environment in which they are raised. Additionally, these animals are very gentle and used to human presence, making them easy to gather as they are used to following a feed truck. We try to only pen the calves twice, once at branding time and once at weaning time; therefore, they are not afraid of the pens or people. If you are interested in purchasing any of our calves at weaning time please let us know!
If you would like to arrange a visit to view the calves in the field please complete the form below and we will get in touch with you. | 2019-04-22T01:58:53 | https://grantcreekranch.com/our-calves/ |

All patients rely on their doctor’s opinion and diagnosis, but when healthcare providers make the wrong diagnosis, patients can suffer serious injury or even death. These are the most common types of medical errors.
Prescription drugs are important to the health of millions of Americans. That’s why healthcare providers have a responsibility to prescribe the correct medication and dosage.
Cerebral Palsy can be genetic, or the result of an injury to the developing brain. Many cases of cerebral palsy have been linked to medical malpractice, and more specifically, the failure to identify complications during pregnancy.
When anesthesia is not used correctly, a patient may feel extreme pain, suffer brain damage or other catastrophic injuries. These mistakes not only happen in the operating room; they can also be made during labor and delivery, in pre-op and recovery rooms, or during a dental procedure.
When doctors, surgeons and other hospital employees do not have the proper skills, or they just simply ignored standard procedures, the hospital could be liable for a patient’s injuries.
It is estimated that over 90% of patients at nursing homes have either experienced neglect, or they’ve seen it first-hand. Nursing home negligence happens when a patient is abused, or they do not receive the care they need.
When a new parent finds out their child has suffered a birth injury, the news can be heartbreaking and devastating. It can also be frustrating when parents learn that the birth injury could have been prevented.
Erbs Palsy often results in a partial or total paralysis of a newborn child. These usually stem from a difficult birth, but forceful neglect can also be a contributing factor.
Nearby factories often use carcinogens and dangerous chemicals. When these are not handled properly, these dangerous chemicals can seep into your water supply. In almost every case, these mistakes could have been prevented.
Why Is My Water Contaminated?
One of the leading causes of preventable injury and death in hospitals, pulmonary embolisms can result in permanent brain damage is as little as 30 minutes after the first onset of symptoms, which are often misdiagnosed.
Fainting, nausea, sudden headaches, and loss of balance are common symptoms of heart attacks and stroke. Often misdiagnosed, these serious conditions are the leading causes of death in the United States.
Why Are Heart Attacks Misdiagnosed?
When medical mistakes happen, they can often cause serious damage to the brain. Many brain injuries occur during childbirth when delivery is delayed, or a medical error is responsible for a difficult delivery.
Medical malpractice is extremely common, and our team understands that you have questions unique to your situation. We’ve listed some of the most common questions about medical malpractice here.

Remember how much fun you had as a kid riding bikes with your family and friends? That exact same feeling of fun and freedom is what the Athletes of AHA get to experience when they hop on their brand new Adaptive Bike for the first time.
Your donations allow each eligible athlete to receive a custom built Adaptive Bike from AHA. Plus, AHA is 100% supported by Road Runner Sports! Together, AHA and Road Runner Sports ensure that all of your donations go to purchasing Adaptive Bike so that 100% of the cost is covered for each family.
You'd be amazed at the power an Adaptive Bike has to take a child from being stuck on the sidelines to becoming a full participant in the fun! Giving kids this gift offers them the chance to ride bikes with friends and family, set personal goals, and simply feel the joy of being a kid.
Thank you for your commitment to giving children with disabilities the opportunity to go fast, be free, and have fun!
Zachary is like any other vibrant 5-year-old boy in so many ways. He's wiggly, he's giggly, and he's a ball of energy. He loves to be outside and play, he adores animals, and he's incredibly strong-willed. He's had to be. He was born with Spina Bifida, a spinal defect that's left him without the use of his legs. He's already had 15 major back and brain surgeries, 2 within the first week of his life. "They are often scary and painful," says his mom Sherry. Zachary also has an able-bodied twin sister, Lilianna. Their mom and dad have watched her reach all of childhood's major milestones - learning to crawl, to walk, and ride a bike - while Zachary sat on the sidelines. But, not anymore! Now that Zachary has his own handcycle from Athletes Helping Athletes, he's off the sidelines and racing with Lilianna and his whole family in their neighborhood, nearby parks, and even on family road trips. "It's red and fast," Zachary says with an ear-to-ear grin. "I can ride it on speed 3!" Watch Zachary go!
How You Can Change a Life!
First off, you deserve a heartfelt thank you for caring about the kids of Athletes Helping Athletes! Like my wife Fiona and I, you can understand how sports are powerful vehicles for changing the world.
Now, think about what it means to introduce a disabled child to an Adaptive Bike and you’ll see how you can really change someone’s world. It’s amazing! I’ve seen it many times!
We were inspired to create AHA when we saw that most other charities can’t cover the full cost of these pricey bikes - they can run upwards of $4,500! That’s just out of reach for so many families!
For the past 18 years, people just like you have made it possible for AHA to provide more than 1,267 Adaptive Bikes to deserving children all around the country!
Your open hearts have allowed us to never turn away a family in-need, and that's just awesome!!
Together, we are changing lives and making a difference. It all starts with helping children with disabilities go fast with their family and friends, so they can break free and just be kids!

You might be surprised to know that Adaptive Bike can cost between $2,000 and $4,500 a piece and are often too expensive for families to purchase on their own. Your donation will help cover these costs and have the power to change a child's life forever. | 2019-04-18T22:56:06 | https://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/content/content1.jsp?contentId=5600004&cm_sp=footer-_-anchor-_-new_aha_lp |

The Anaesthesia and Perioperative Care Priority Setting Partnership is a collaborative effort involving patients, the public and clinical professionals, identifying the most important directions for new research in anaesthesia and perioperative care.
This process has been facilitated by the James Lind Alliance (JLA), a non-profit making initiative established in 2004 which aims to bring these groups together to identify and prioritise the top 10 uncertainties or 'unanswered questions' about treatments they collectively consider to be most important. The JLA process is an effective way to ascertain the aspects of care which truly matter both to patients and to clinicians.
This information, along with all the other data collected by the surveys, has been made available to all the participating organisations, via the National Institute of Academic Anaesthesia who will consider how to incorporate these themes into future research over the next few months.
Further information on this exercise and the steps undertaken to reach this top 10 can be found on the PSP pages of the NIAA website. | 2019-04-25T08:07:18 | https://www.niaa.org.uk/Results |
Public spending on infrastructure plays an important role in promoting economic growth and poverty alleviation. Empirical studies unequivocally show that under-investment in infrastructure limits economic growth. At the same time, numerous other studies have shown that investment in infrastructure can be an effective tool in fighting poverty reduction. In that context, the financing of infrastructure has been a critical element of most economic growth and poverty reduction strategies in developing countries since the start of this millennium. This book provides a comparative analysis of the aggregate and sectoral implications of higher spending on infrastructure in three very different Asian countries: China, Pakistan, and the Philippines. Particular attention is paid to the role of alternative financing mechanisms for increasing public infrastructure investment, namely distortionary and non-distortionary means of financing. The book will be of interest to scholars and policy-makers concerned with economic growth in developing countries. | 2019-04-23T02:33:44 | https://rd.springer.com/book/10.1007%2F978-3-319-03137-8 |
Isn't snow wonderful. We've had snow on the ground for the whole of January (very unusual) but it's nearly all gone. Fortunately there's some fresh stuff forecast for this week. Totally understand your frustration with the pattern. Very pretty little thing...I especially like them all hung in a row in different colours.
Those cinnamon buns look amazing Simmy! I may try and make them for tomorrow since even up here it's looking like we'll have no school services tomorrow.
I really like your crocheted pot holders - I knit almost constantly but I have never quite managed to *get* crocheting. It doesn't make sense to me! Maybe I just need to persevere.
i second the cinnamon buns looking good. As soon as i saw your post i knew i recognized that pattern. I also found it in the 70's pattern book here at a thrift store in wyoming. Was actually going to start working on it soon, so thanks for the corrected pattern. Enjoy the snow.
Yours is looking like a wonderful place to be although I won't be venturing outside - more like the crochet hook for me I think. [We have about a foot of white stuff here].
Hi Simmy, what a wonderful time you are having, with the snow, baking and crafting!.
We are having here strong winds and no rain for nearly a month, very unusual for the tropics.
your pot holder looks fab, its a great colour too. so do your cinnamon buns actually, just the thing to prepare for snow-fun!
YUM! Those cinnamon rolls look SO good and playing in the snow is the perfect way to burn them off!
What a wonderful snow day! I'm glad I found your blog.
'70's crochet rocks! Thanks for this awesome pattern!
Hi, I have just passed on the Lemonade award to you. Your blog is lovely.
I love the potholder pattern!! I just finished my second one today! will make great presents for easter!!
and I just want to emphasize the good work on this blog, has excellent views and a clear vision of what you are looking for. | 2019-04-26T12:13:31 | https://simmy.typepad.com/echoesofadream/2009/02/were-very-lucky-at-our-school-in-that-the-ptfa-offer-tea-and-coffee-in-the-mornings-after-drop-off-because-its-a-great-plac.html |

Axes were important rescue tools to access buildings and assist in clearing paths to trapped and wounded people.
A rescue worker wearing the ARP axe and carrier.
The 'ARPAX' was manufactured by the Chillington Tool Company Limited of Wolverhampton. Some of these are imprinted with ARP 55 - the pattern number for this item. The insulated handle was encased in rubber which provided protection if the axe severed an electric cable (moulded into the handle was 'TESTED 20,000 VOLTS'). There were three variants of the ARPAX. A leather holder was available to hold the axe on a belt.

At certain air raid incidents the main telephone lines may have been cut. To allow for communications to continue, ARP services (Head Wardens, Rescue Parties etc) could use this portable telephone that ran off two size T dry cell batteries.
Ceiling pikes and prodders were used to test whether loose debris could be brought down in a bomb damaged property. Wardens and rescue services would prod at walls and ceilings to see if they could take the weight of a person for extraction from a building etc.
At air raid incidents where electricty supplies were interrupted this emergency carbide work lamp would be used. Water would be added to the bucket to activate the calcium carbide stored inside. This would create acetylene gas which would pass up through the handle and on to the burner. It produced a bright white light, which was reflected by the shield.

These strain sensors are suitable for static measurements, for example at the monitoring of structures or in the weight measurement of silos. Depending on the mounting of the strain sensor, the zero point is slightly shifted. Thanks to the digital input, the zero point adjustment can be easily teached-in by the PLC, even though the strain sensor is mounted at a place difficult to reach.
The zero point adjustment can be triggered via the PLC. If the input is pulled to >10 V, the signal is set to zero (reset) and the zero point adjustment is carried out. If the input is open or 0V, the sensor is in measuring mode. The reset logic is alternatively available with “Active-High-Levels” instead of “Active-Low-Levels”.
The zero point adjustment at these strain sensors is carried out by a digital zero point adjustment mechanism. The zero point adjustment is stored permanently, it is not lost after a power off. It provides a non-volatile, stable zero point (intallation tara). Therefore, it is qualified for all static applications. The numbers of tarings is limited to 100.000. | 2019-04-25T10:13:18 | https://www.xsensors.com/en/installation-zero-for-static-applications-digtara.html |
Learn how to make these cute sock puppets into all kinds of fun animals. Making sock puppets is a great project for young girls just learning to craft.
The PDF Version contains instructions and patterns for all animals shown in our photo.
The Easy Print PDF Version contains instructions and patterns for all the animals shown; cow, sheep, horse, giraffe, mouse, snake, and dog without margins, ads or logos.
Other optional items; yarn for hair, chenille sticks, etc..
Part of our sock puppets require that you can hand sew a basic up and down stitch. Although the decorating of the puppets can be done by older kids, the base of the puppet should be done by an adult or someone who can sew a basic handstitch.
Have some sewing pins available for this step. Place the sock on your hand with the heel of the sock at your knuckles and the toe hanging out beyond your fingers.
Open your hand so that your thumb is below your other fingers as if opening a puppets mouth.
Without changing the position of the mouth, carefully take the sock off your hand.
Using an up and down stitch, stitch a simple triangle at each side of the puppets mouth as shown in the photos.
Put your hand back into the puppet and get your marker. Make marks at the locations for the eyes, nose, ears, and other parts of the animal you are making. Take the puppet off your hand.
Using the pattern provided for the gluing base cut out the gluing base from a cereal box. Fold where the rectangular part meets the rounded part.
Slip the foam mouthpiece into the puppet mouth without glue first to make sure it will fit correctly. It should fit inside the puppet's lower mouth with the front edge of the foam, at the front edge of the puppet’s lower mouth. Remove and trim if needed.
Add hot glue to one side of the mouthpiece and insert it into the mouth, then quickly press down into place.
Glue the eyes, nose, and tongue if you have one onto your puppet. Depending on what type of animal you are making, you may want to pull the cardboard gluing base out and put it back in sideways so you have a flat surface to glue against for the ears that are attached on the sides of the head, such as a dog like ours.
These sock puppets are a terrific and inexpensive craft to make for your kids, for a child's gift, or for your churches' Sunday school group or school classroom.

He visited Paris in 1935 and made contacts there, such as Paul Éluard, but returned to Berlin because his wife Margarete was dying of tuberculosis.
Bellmer produced the first doll in Berlin in 1933. Long since lost, the assemblage can nevertheless be correctly described thanks to approximately two dozen photographs Bellmer took at the time of its construction. Standing about fifty-six inches tall, the doll consisted of a modeled torso made of flax fiber, glue, and plaster; a mask-like head of the same material with glass eyes and a long, unkempt wig; and a pair of legs made from broomsticks or dowel rods. One of these legs terminated in a wooden, club-like foot; the other was encased in a more naturalistic plaster shell, jointed at the knee and ankle. As the project progressed, Bellmer made a second set of hollow plaster legs, with wooden ball joints for the doll's hips and knees. There were no arms to the first sculpture, but Bellmer did fashion or find a single wooden hand, which appears among the assortment of doll parts the artist documented in an untitled photograph of 1934, as well as in several photographs of later work. | 2019-04-19T00:59:22 | https://www.wikiart.org/en/hans-bellmer |

We coordinate the production and marketing of our apples from South-East Styria. The care and experience of our farmers and the gentle handling of the apples – from flower to transport – that is what accounts for the top of the line products by Aroma Obst.
We employ computer-controlled sorting and packaging systems which ensure our apples undergo rigorous screenings.
In order for the apples to remain fresh throughout their whole marketing period, we store them in an optimal low-oxygen environment, which is specifically fitted to the needs of each variety. Almost 50 employees take care that only immaculate apples leave our production facility.
In July 1995, the AROMA GmbH along with the AROMA Obst and Vegetable and the AROMA Packaging were founded in Weiz, Styria. Among the partners were Styrian fruit producers who intended to create a cooperation for their distribution efforts. Eight years later the partners decided to build a packing plant with cutting-edge systems.
In 2007, the company was acquired by Obstbau Zinner, one of the biggest apple producers in Austria. The result of this merger was the AROMA Obst GmbH. Today, AROMA Obst and its marketing community are among the most successful fruit marketers in Styria. | 2019-04-22T20:33:17 | https://www.aroma.at/en/about-us/ |
Years of perspective allows you to be a pretty good judge of a well run event, and when an event needs some help.
I’ve seen everything from really impressive venues (full of sponsors and vendors), but with an abysmal course layout, to great course layouts and flowy trails, but with registration running out of the trunk of a car and no bathrooms for miles.
That being said, it has become obvious that USA Cycling’s (USAC) Collegiate Mountain National Championships is an event that could use some perspective.
For some time now, USA Cycling has officiated a Mountain Bike National Championship event every year.
This event is an awesome spectacle complete with national sponsors, vendors, and dealers, all descending upon a mountain bike trail system for several days of riding.
This event allows CAT1, CAT2, and CAT3 riders from all over the country to compete on the national stage, and is often the culminating race of a mountain bikers season.
Some even do well enough to get selected to the US Olympic Mountain Bike Team, while others go on to represent the United States in World UCI events overseas. It’s a big deal!
Now juxtapose that event with the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championship.
This event is not the awesome a spectacle that the first one is, but it does some of the same pomp-and-circumstance of its older cousin.
It is also the national stage for mountain bike riders — but only for Collegiate CAT-A riders — to compete against each other, win prestige for their school and conference, and hopefully get invites to national teams.
National sponsors, vendors, and dealers do show up, but not with the same numbers.
Additionally, the US Olympic Mountain Biking Team is sometimes on hand to scout new talent for future teams, but not always.
It almost seems like something is missing from the Collegiate event, something the non-Collegiate event has every year, but the Collegiate side lacks.
It took a while for us to figure out what it was. Sponsors? Check. Vendors? Check. Good Trails? Check. Money? Mmmm… not sure.
If you haven’t figured it out yet what the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championship is missing, here’s a hint: the non-Collegiate Mountain Nationals has a full boat of CAT2 and CAT3 events IN ADDITION TO the CAT1 events.
This creates quite the turnout, especially when you looking at a multiple day event with a race for every mountain bike discipline there is.
That is a huge undertaking for any event manager, but is also a nice profit margin if you can pull it off.
USAC Mountain Nationals is a very lucrative endeavor that attracts twice as many spectators as it does riders. With all those fans buying swag, food, and lodging, everyone one working a USAC National event has the potential to make some money.
Flip back to the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships, and you don’t see the same type of money changing hands.
First off, the Collegiate event only allows CAT-A riders.
All those CAT-B and CAT-C riders, that make up most of the clubs in over 100 universities, do not get to ride.
No one could give us a good answer.
So we did what any investigative journalist would do: we followed the money.
The USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships online registration for Endurance and Gravity events is $65 ($85 onsite).
Compare that to a much more complex pricing model at the non-Collegiate Mountain Nationals where Endurance is between $80-$100, Gravity is between $90-$120, and Enduro is between $115-$145 (unless you registered early, then you save about $15-$20; Onsite registration is an additional $20-$35).
Collegiate riders pay only 50-60% of what CAT1/2/3 riders pay.
This makes the non-Collegiate event far more profitable, even if the same number of riders show up.
But if the majority of collegiate riders are in the C and B Mountain Categories, why are they not included in the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships?
Wouldn’t that help make up the numbers?
We first suspected that it was a school thing. Something to do with not having college kids out of class for longer than a weekend.
But other sports do not seem to have this problem during championship events, so we removed that as a suspected cause.
We then thought it could just be a matter of economics.
In our observations, collegiate races simply do not create the turnout that the non-Collegiate events do.
This, in turn, means that collegiate events do not create the kind of revenue that a bigger event can generate.
However, one might ask — if one really believed in the mission of USA Cycling — why does the low revenue side of collegiate championships matter to USA Cycling?
Isn’t that why USA Cycling collects license fees, charges race directors $3.60/day per rider for insurance, and puts on National Championships for?
So costs don’t seem to be that big of a factor either.
USA Cycling has the operating capital to add to a collegiate championships, and I’m sure their are plenty of promoters and sponsors that would happily pick up the tab.
So is the actual reason the reason everyone seems to give us when we ask?
Is it really just the way “it’s always been“?
It’s a shame that CAT-C and CAT-B riders cannot attend the Collegiate Mountain Nationals as a competitor.
The unfortunate truth is that during this year’s event in Snowshoe, West Virginia, those collegiate rides that will have the event in their own backyard will have to settle for attending as a spectator.
For what seems like a simple addition to the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships – add a extra day for CAT-C and CAT-B riders, or work them into the existing schedule – will again be only for the top riders in collegiate racing.
This seems like a lost teaching opportunity.
Imagine the experience that lower category collegiate riders could have by rubbing elbows with other schools across the country.
Maybe it’s time this format changed and USA Cycling started making the Collegiate Mountain Nationals THE SAME as the non-Collegiate Mountain Nationals.
Because unless there is a legitimate reason for not including CAT-C and CAT-B riders in the 2016 USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships, collegiate clubs should consider pushing their conference directors to find out why.
It is time to change the USAC Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships format to include CAT-C and CAT-B riders, and become more inclusive, and less exclusive. | 2019-04-18T10:17:36 | http://reckoneer.com/grow/why-the-collegiate-mountain-nationals-needs-some-perspective/ |
Mexico is the eighth largest producing country globally and one of the largest producers of certified organic coffee. Even so, most coffee is grown in small farms numbering over 100,000. Its main growing regions are the states of Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas located in the south central and southern areas of the country, extending south to the border with Guatemala. Generally, Mexican coffees are mild and light-bodied with delicate flavors that can vary nicely in the cup, depending upon the region. The southern most Chiapas region, bordering Guatemala exhibits some of the same characteristics as their neighbor’s. Due to its mild nature, Mexican coffees are often used as the base for blends and darker roasts. When you see the Altura designation, you know that it is high-grown. | 2019-04-19T20:38:11 | https://www.longbottomcoffee.com/coffee-101/coffee-growing-regions/the-americas/mexico.html |

George Smith Patton, Jr. (also George Smith Patton III) (November 11, 1885 – December 21, 1945) was a United States Army officer best known for his leadership while commanding corps and armies as a general during World War II. He was also well-known for his controversial outspokenness. Patton was commissioned in the U.S. Army upon his graduation from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1909. In 1916-17, he participated in the unsuccessful Pancho Villa Expedition, a US operation which attempted to capture the Mexican revolutionary. In World War I, he was the first officer assigned to the new United States Tank Corps and saw action in France. After the war, he was a strong advocate of armored warfare. In World War II he commanded corps and armies in North Africa, Sicily, and the European Theater of Operations. Near the end of the Sicilian campaign he jeopardized his career by slapping a soldier (whom he regarded as a coward) while the soldier was recuperating from battle fatigue at a hospital. Relieved of his command by Allied Supreme Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower over the well-publicized incident, Patton was relegated to acting as a decoy in Operation Quicksilver instead of playing a major part in the Normandy Landings and Operation Overlord. However, he was later given command of the U.S. Third Army and ably led it in breaking out of the hedgerows of Normandy and across France. A surprise German offensive at the Battle of the Bulge resulted in American units being surrounded at Bastogne. On December 9, 1945, Patton was severely injured in a road accident. At first the crash seemed minor, the vehicles were hardly damaged, and no one in the truck was hurt. However, Patton was leaning back with trouble breathing. The general had been thrown forward and his head struck a metal part of the partition between the front and back seats, incurring a cervical spinal cord injury. Paralyzed from the neck down, he was rushed to the military hospital in Heidelberg. Patton died of a pulmonary embolism on December 21, 1945.
Osprey Publications Ltd has released George S. Patton as Number 3 in their Command series. It is a paperback book with 64 pages. Included with the text are color and black and white photographs, color illustrations, color maps and detailed captions. It has a 2010 copyright and the ISBN is 978-1-84603-459-6. The book examines the life and military career of George S. Patton.
The text in the book is well written and extremely detailed. I didn’t notice and spelling or grammar errors as I read through the book. Zaloga covers the military career of George S. Patton very well. It is obvious that the author has gone to great lengths to research Patton and provide a very well written and accurate history of him. I covers Patton’s career starting with his enrollment in the military academy and his involvement in the campaign against Pancho Villa, World War I, World War II and his time spent between the wars. It discusses high points in his military career as well as low points and events that caused him personal anguish. I personally would have liked to have seen more written about his time spent between the wars and his interest in early tank warfare. Anyone interested in General George S. Patton will find this book very informative and interesting.
There are color and black and white photographs throughout the book. They are nice and clear with a few exceptions. Some of the older period black and white photographs have a blurry look to them. One other fault that I should mention is that some of the photographs have been shrunk down to fit on the page along with the text. Some of the photographs are too small in my opinion to show the detail as well as if they had been larger. However this does not take anything away from the book.
The illustrations by illustrator Steve Noon are well done and cover the periods of World War I to World War II.
The captions are well written and even though they can be brief at times they are very detailed and explain the accompanying photographs well. I didn’t notice any spelling or grammar errors.
All in all I am very impressed with the book. It details the book examines the life and military career of George S. Patton. I would have no hesitation to add other Osprey titles to my personal library nor would I hesitate to recommend this book to others.
Lows: Would have liked to have seen more written about his time spent between the wars and his interest in early tank warfare. | 2019-04-23T09:53:50 | http://aeroscale.co.uk/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=5671 |
With the new year fast approaching, people are going to need to get new calendars to help them plan their lives. A new local effort shows off the valley's top rides and raises money for a good cause.
"I was looking at a car calendar one day and I said that would be cool to see one from Drumheller because Drumheller has some cool landmarks and the scenery here is pretty awesome, so I figured I'd give it a shot," explained Stephen Bobra, who is behind the idea.
"I put it out on Facebook: I said send me a private message with a picture of your car," he elaborated. "I had about 100 to sort through and I just chose 12 ones that were car show ready and I went with it."
Bobra, whose two young children were born with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), chose Cystic Fibrosis Canada to receive all money raised from calendar sales.
"I figure if it's a success and we raise a lot of money for Cystic Fibrosis, I'll do another one next year and keep going with it," he concluded. "I definitely have a lot of cars to choose from."
Bobra wants to thank local photographer Athena Winchester of Broken Curfew Photography for taking the calendar photos.
His calendars are on sale for $20 each at a number of places around Drumheller, including Rod's Automotive in the industrial park, Sunrise Auto and Westergard Motors. | 2019-04-24T05:52:10 | https://drumhelleronline.com/local/local-car-buffs-and-cf-canada-benefit-from-new-calendar |

Monument Valley remains one of the best mobile games of last year, and likely ranks among the better titles of all time, in terms of unique design and imaginative gameplay mechanics. The ustwo games debut is getting even better today, thanks to the release of a special, visually updated version of the Ida’s Dream level pack released as part of a Project (RED) charitable promotion last year.
The original Ida’s Dream expansion was made available as an in-app purchase, but the new release offers the same levels to all Monument Valley players for free, across all platforms at the same time on June 25. The original version will remain available to those who purchased it, meaning they alone get access to the special red-colored version offered in conjunction with Project (RED), but ustwo’s Director of Games Neil McFarland explained to TechCrunch that they felt everyone should be able to enjoy the full experience of Monument Valley, which includes Ida’s Dream.
This seems likely to be the last content update for Monument Valley, with McFarland confirming that as the studio discussed around the time of the original Ida’s Dream release, they’re focusing on future games and upcoming experiences like the virtual reality story adventure experience Land’s End, which is due out later this year. Land’s End will make its debut on Gear VR, and McFarland says that ustwo games has been working closely with Oculus VR to make sure it provides a great movie VR experience.
Another game destined for mobile devices, with a more traditional 2D touchscreen-based design, is also already in the works and is due out sometime next year, McFarland told TechCrunch. The company isn’t revealing much about the follow-up yet, but given the success and reception of Monument Valley, it’ll have high expectations to live up to when it does arrive next year.
And in case you’re curious about how it’s performing worldwide, ustwo has also provided TechCrunch with regional sales breakdowns. It’s rare, granular look inside the metrics of one of the top-perfomring App Store releases of 2014.
The new, color-altered version of Ida’s Dream will be available as a free update for Monument Valley on iOS, Android, Windows and the Amazon Appstore. The original game still retails for $3.99. | 2019-04-20T22:54:20 | https://techmediamagazine.com/monument-valley-is-bringing-idas-dream-to-all-platforms-free-on-june-25.html |
It’s that not-so-joyful time of year for mums when we have to schlep around the shops looking for school uniform. It’s time to weigh up the pros and cons of costs versus quality, money back guarantees versus promises of kid-tested, whatever you can grab versus careful planning with compliant children.
We asked our mums what their back to school bugbears are and how brands could ease their shopping worries.
Finding offers. We know M&S currently have £5 off when you spend £25 on kidswear (so you can get those tights, vests and socks you need for the start of school) and there are deals highlighted on Money Saving Expert. But mums don’t have the time to haul through site after site looking for information. A savvy brand or company would be putting all the back to school offers in one place (even as a competitior price comparision) so we can quickly see where to get the best deals.
Mums want things that last. If your products fall apart in a week then we won’t come and buy from you again, and we’ll tell our mum friends not to buy from you. Most companies have gone some way to dealing with this by offering money back guarantees or saying products are independently tested. As a mum I’d like to know how this testing took place, was it with boys or girls? In a lab or in the playground?
What we do know is when mums find something they like (and that could be either cost driven or quality driven – it depends on the mum) then they stick with it. One mum told us she choose Next because a friend had told her about it (the trusted inner circle) and the quality was good so she has now stuck with it. Another mum chooses Next because they offer slim fit trousers for her tall but slender son. One of our mums, Susan, told us she sticks with Clarks because they last the whole school year. It’s worth considering innovative ways to connect with mums on the ground because that’s where conversations about where to go for uniforms are happening.
We’re seeing brands such as Tesco and M&S offer a ‘Your School Uniform’ – schools sign up, allowing parents to purchase school logo items and the school receives a cashback amount. It seems a very smart way to connect with parents and benefit the school. Is there a way you as a brand can push mums to purchase but still offer something additional in return?
Some mums shop online and some shop instore. Free delivery and easy ordering are a must for online. Instore – the stress points for mums are trying to track down the right size when they are shopping last minute. As a brand how can you work on this? Last minute fast delivery?
And finally to bags. We’ve identified a gap in the market for appropriately sized bags for primary school children – we’re hearing from mums that either they aren’t big enough to hold books or they are so large they threaten to topple over kids. Indepth research and testing would easily overcome this problem and would make those bags really stand out to mums.
Good luck to all our mums (and dads) as they start the new academic year! If you’d like to better connect with mums and understand what they want then drop us aline.
Really interesting findings. I normally shop online, but with school uniforms feel like it has to be done in the shop with the kids there so you know if it fits or not. And at this time of year the shops are hot and busy and the kids can be grumpy cos they don't want to be reminded of going back to school.
I would love it if retailers could work on making school uniform shopping easier and the shops themselves more fun places to be. For example, our local M&S only has one tiny changing room in the children's department and at this time of year that's just not enough.
Thanks for the comment Joanne, life would be much easier if shops offered something to entertain kids with - it doesn't have to be all year round but just for those times when it's all a bit stressful and you need to have the children with you. | 2019-04-20T10:49:15 | http://mumpanel.blogspot.com/2012/08/back-to-school-uniforms.html |
I am using the SPC5674FF3MVV3. I do not want to use any external analog inputs, and I do not have 5 volts available. What all is needed to disable the analog in and what do I do with the analog power supplies?
VDDA is needed to connect to 5V even if eQADC is unused. Unused Analog inputs should be pulled to ground.
Mentioned paragraph says “VDDA can lag other supplies” what means it describes situation VDDA is lower than VDDA. It does not happen when VDDEH=3V and VDDA=5V. Basically VDDA should be always higher than rest of sources (or not to be lower by more than 1V). | 2019-04-24T14:11:58 | https://community.nxp.com/thread/366642 |

These flowers are perfect for gift toppers and easy too! They are less expensive than a store bought bow and you can customize for any occasion! Have fun and let your creativity soar! Post your creations on our Facebook Page!
1. Fold the tissue paper in half four times. You should end up with a square, but some tissue paper will end up rectangular. It doesn't matter. You want to cut a circle (we aren't going for perfection - don't stress it) and make sure you cut all the away around.
2. Fold in half again and cut petal shapes (see video).
3. Open it to see if it is how you wanted it to be. If it is, refold it and take your marker and color just along all of the outer edges, while it is folded.
4. Fold into quarters and snip off the corner, to give you a hole in the center of the flower pieces.
6. Put pipe cleaner through bead and twist a small piece underneath.
7. Feed the pipe cleaner through the flower pedals and scootch the pedals around so they aren't perfectly stacked.
8. Put a bead of glue around the base of the bead and pour some glitter on the hot glue. Let it cool and shake of excess.
9. Flip the flower over and run a bead of hot glue where the stem and tissue paper meet and put on glitter. Shake off excess.
10. When cool, take each layer and separate it and scrunch it up toward the bead.
11. That's it! Stand back and enjoy your creation!
These would be beautiful on top of a gift, instead of a store bought bow. A bouquet of these would be nice at a baby shower. How about centerpieces at a bridal shower? Tissue paper comes in all colors and can be made to match the wedding colors!
I love comments and Happy Crafting!
Watching you making your lovely flowers reminds me of being in infants class at school.

Inflection Point: Whither MOOCs ?
A few years ago, many of us in higher education were both highly excited, but also concerned, about the potential of MOOCs (massively open online courses) to disrupt our long-held models of higher education. The potential of almost free information to thousands of students, simultaneously, had many implications. University administrators across the country were trying to develop a strategy to align with MOOCs or, alternatively, to emphasize other strategies to blunt the likely impact of MOOCs.
And, while one should “never say never” about new technologies, this article suggests that peak MOOC enthusiasm, from about 2012, may have come and gone. Research shows that the problem of many students taking MOOCs but not finishing continues to be an issue. And, more adults who already have earned college degrees are completing MOOCs, compared to other students.
The impacts of new technologies, especially in education, are very hard to predict, and are often disappointing. But, this trend with MOOCs aligns with one of my favorite notions, which I first read on economist Brad DeLong’s blog. He argued that the printing press (Gutenberg, 1440) was the real game changer – it made books affordable for the masses. And, for many years now, you could have taught yourself physics, for example, by reading the textbook (free at the library) . But few people can or will do that, and it appears that MOOCs have something of the same problem – focused attention to learning difficult concepts is a somewhat scarce commodity. And, somewhat traditional (or online) university classes with closer teacher/students interactions may have an advantage in sustaining that focus. | 2019-04-21T20:32:29 | https://spaviews.ucdenver.edu/2015/08/25/inflection-point-whither-moocs/ |
The main objective of this part of the syllabus is to learn how to do a good Biu Sau.
Biu Sau is one of the most effective ways to deal with a hook, hay-maker, or straight punch. It is very practical and flows quickly out from a guard.
The following video of the Biu Sau technique show how it can be used to deal with both straight and swinging punches from your opponent. Biu is ideal for punches aimed at the head and neck. Strikes to the lower body should use a different technique to cover.
You can perform a Biu Sau and turning punch on the inside of an opponent's hook (or hay-maker) or on the outside of an opponent's straight punch. This makes the Biu Sau and turning punch a very flexible technique.
The Biu Sau involves making a "salute" motion towards your opponent's attacking arm. It is necessary to use your Yiu Ma (turning stance) in order to perform the technique correctly. Yiu ma can be seen in the first section of the Chum Kiu (the second hand form), where the hip is used to drive the turn of the whole body. This turning motion will help keep the Biu Sau effective and add power to any counter punch you throw with the Biu Sau.
You will be expected to demonstrate the technique against hooks, hay-makers and straight punches. To do well you should throw a simultaneous attack when dealing with swinging punches. Turning and Yiu Ma is also essential to get the technique efficient. | 2019-04-22T16:22:16 | http://www.putneymartialarts.co.uk/learn-wing-chun/sil-lim-tao/biu-sau/ |
Mangaluru: Ahinda State President Shobha on February 9 demanded the Ullal police to arrest members of the local LGBT group for assaulting three transgenders on February 6 and 7 at Talapady.
Vice President of Parivarthan Charitable Trust Ramya Gowda said, “On February 6, about 10 members barged into the house of transgender Nisha and assaulted three of the transgenders namely Anushree, Shama and Madhura. They stripped them, forced them to wear men’s attire, clicked their photographs and threatened of serious consequences. In this connection, a case was filed in the Ullal police station”.
An FIR has been filed against Arundhati, Mouna, Khushi and Krithika under section 143, 147, 148, 448, 504, 506, 323, 324, R/W 149 IPC in the Ullal Police station. | 2019-04-23T14:40:26 | https://www.mangalorean.com/transgenders-assaulted-at-talapady-ahinda-demands-arrest-of-culprits/ |
A polished concrete floor is a very popular choice these days. The polished concrete flooring can be made to look like many different types of flooring. It can have patterns and it can be tinted with different colors. The polished floor does not look like the concrete that people are used to. It is a much higher end product and it can serve many different purposes. The best way to get a great polished concrete floor in your home is to turn to a polishing concrete service. These professionals can come in and give you the flooring that you want. Before you choose a service to use it is important to know what to look for and what to expect.
The first thing that is needed is to find a good polishing concrete service to use. One of the best ways to do this is to turn to companies that offer both concrete polishing equipment and services. These are companies that will rent the equipment to the homeowner that wants to do this project on their own or will come in and do the work for the homeowner.
These businesses have a few advantages over other services. Some of the businesses that offer the services do this as a part of the other services they offer. They may or may not have all of the equipment they need. While the experience of the people that use the equipment will play a role in what the finished product looks like, the equipment and the supplies that are used will also play a vital role.
It is also a good idea to understand the process that the polishing concrete service will use. The first step is to inspect the concrete and repair any cracks that are in it. It may also be necessary to level the concrete before starting to polish it. Once the polishing process begins, a series of abrasive materials should be used. The abrasive pads used with the equipment will get progressively smoother until the final polishing is needed. A sealer will be applied to the concrete after it has been polished. If there is color or patterns put into the concrete this should be done before the floor is sealed and finished. The final product will be something that the homeowner can enjoy for many years. | 2019-04-20T20:29:17 | https://www.diamaticusa.com/polishing-concrete-service/ |
Here are some tools you can employ to keep your browsing to a minimum and your networking and information gathering to a maximum.
Many companies list their job openings primarily on their corporate websites, a practice that saves them money and keeps the job pool, to a degree, filled by people interested in working there. A posting on a company's website that does not appear on public job boards is appealing to job seekers. Remember though some aggregators simply pull those openings off corporate websites, opening them to a broader audience.
A company's website is the first place to go when researching specific employers. You may often find vision and mission statements, a history of the organization and names of key supervisors. Large companies typically require job seekers to use their website's online application to be considered for all of their openings.
These sites, sometimes called "job boards," are among the most popular ways to find job leads on the Internet. You can use keywords to find jobs based on certain criteria. They help you get more specific results by location, field, industry or job title. One of the most common mistakes that job seekers make is spending too many hours browsing job boards.
Job expert Peter Weddles came up with a strategy for using job boards that goes like this: 2GP+3N=1GJ. (2GP stands for two general-purpose websites; 3N for three niche or specialized sites and 1GJ for one great job.) General job boards list thousands of jobs from thousands of employers, the drawback being the popularity of these sites can be a disadvantage. For this reason, dedicate more of your attention to niche job boards focusing on openings in specific industries.
The Internet is the fastest way to access published information. Newspapers, magazines and trade journals can all be found online. Trade journals contain articles by industry experts, information about networking events, suggestions on industry blogs and jobs. To find a trade journal related to your search, try typing "trade journal directory" into a search engine. Or, go to your public library for help accessing trade journal and professional association databases.
Almost every industry has an association with a website full of information on trends, volunteer or professional development opportunities, best practices, industry news and, inevitably, a job board. It may require membership in the organization to get at the really good content and the job board. Most charge annual fees so you'll have to determine whether the fee is worth it. | 2019-04-19T21:15:00 | https://mn.gov/deed/job-seekers/job-guide/internet-social-media/cheatsheet.jsp |

This post represents the first of two exploring crowdsourcing and crowdfunding.
I do a lot of thinking about community-building—my whole approach to international social change partnerships involves the strengthening of communities as they go about achieving their mission. But I haven’t thought a lot about crowds. I was aware of Kiva.org, but it was only recently when I saw a list of 30+ such sites that I realized that there is a crowd-related movement afoot.
Last week I enjoyed a cup of coffee with Cognitive Policy Works founder Joe Brewer, and he thoughtfully shared examples of how crowdfunding is supporting a civic project on which he is working. I nevertheless left the conversation pretty skeptical that crowdfunding would work in cross-cultural partnerships involving collaborative social change given the inherent power dynamic that comes in the crowd “owning” the product that they fund.
But every small non-profit person experiences a surge of adrenaline at the thought of a new money source, so I started reading about crowdsourcing and crowdfunding on-line. I am now intrigued. I want to share some of the ideas that I have been thinking about and invite your thoughts in return. Part 1 of “From Crowd to Community” deals with definitions. Part 2 will delve more deeply into how we might apply these definitions within small NGO partnerships.
To me, a crowd is not a community. A crowd is a bunch of people gathered together, usually for a purpose, like to see the Christmas lights turned on downtown or to protest the WTO. There is no interconnection between them—no mutual obligation. They just happen to be proximate to one another, much like the rays of a sun connect to the center but not to each other. A crowd left unto itself is not helpful to any organization because it lacks a structure through which to engage them.
It is a healthy community that sustains an organization over the long term. Communities are defined by their social nature; members relate to one another through shared resources, shared governance, and shared culture. Sustaining a health community is job one for every small non-profit. Organizations are constantly trying to engage people from various sectors of society in their cause, attracting new community members who will contribute financially and otherwise.
While the terms ‘crowd’ and ‘community’ are used interchangeably by some (see Neil Perry, president of crowdsourcing video company, Poptent), defining their differences is key to understanding how small NGOs might use crowd-concepts in building their communities. It seems to me that societies contain crowds—individuals who gather around critical events or ideas—and these crowds could convert into community members – crowd members that interrelate—in the right circumstances. The $50 million dollar question for most non-profits is how to create the right circumstances.
This is where my thoughts go to another term that caught my eye: smart swarm. Scanning the shelves of my local library, I stopped to look at Peter Miller’s The Smart Swarm: How Understanding Flocks, Schools, and Colonies Can Make US Better at Communicating, Decision Making, and Getting Things Done. (A good summary can be found here.) Miller defines a smart swarm as “a group of individuals who respond to one another and to their environment in ways that give them the power, as a group, to cope with uncertainty, complexity, and change.” (p. xvii) As we shift away from traditional hierarchies, we need to redefine relationships and rethink systems. From birds, fish, and insects we can learn critical lessons about self organization, diversity of knowledge, indirect collaboration, and adaptive mimicking, lessons that organizations can use to convert members of a crowd into smart members of our organizational communities.
The concepts behind crowdsourcing and funding are not new—social change activists and anti-poverty professionals have tapped their communities for quick-time updates and solution ideas since social change began; non-profit directors use table captains and house parties to provide opportunities for their community members to hook people new to the organization.
What is different is the new dimension that technology places on the exchange between crowd member and fundraising organization and that organization with its international service delivery partner. Crowd-engagement requires a reconsideration of organizational values, modes of communication, and internal capacity to coordinate this new level of activity. More on that in Part 2, coming tomorrow.

September is a tricky month for outdoor beer drinking in Virginia. You pray for a break in the heat, for those fall-like temperatures to appear and bring with them the perfect weather for enjoying a brew or two at your favorite festival. “No more warm beer!” you cry. “Bring me fall!” Sadly, more often than not, you have to get real, accept that for some reason it’s still 90 freaking degrees outside, slap on your sunscreen and roll with it. The second annual Old Bust Head Brewing Company Bleu and Brew Beer and Cheese Festival was held this month on, you guessed it, a steamy, sunny September day! Lucky for us we’ve been blessed with some of the best beer coming out of Virginia, making that late summer heat much more bearable when you have a variety of beer styles at your fingertips. And when you pair local cheeses with local beers? The only heat you end up feeling is from that Smoked Gouda Jalapeño cheese bite sizzling in your mouth!
Having attended the Blue and Brew festival last year, I can say this year blew last year away, from the beers offered to the cheese pairings to the overall logistics of the day.
With nearly 20 breweries in attendance pairing their craft brews with various gourmet cheeses from the Culpeper Cheese Company, the Bleu and Brew Fest was easily one of the best festivals I’ve attended this year. A huge thank you to Old Bust Head Brewing Company for the invitation as well as allowing me and my husband to roll VIP. While it might sound snobby, it’s the only way I’ll attend a beer festival anymore. You get in early, avoiding the crowds. You have direct access to the brewers with time to ask questions about the beer and brewing process, and you usually get to try special, VIP-only beers. In my opinion, the extra coin is always worth it.
The great thing about a bunch of Virginia breweries coming together is getting to try a variety of beers in one location with typically the best styles of that brewery being showcased.
The available craft brews this year were might tasty with more than a few taking center stage. Last year at Bleu and Brew, I fell in love with a porter from Tin Cannon Brewing Company called Vaughn’s Peanut Butter. This year Tin Cannon did it again with their Punk’Tin Ale, an amber ale perfect for fall. Using 10 pounds of pumpkin in the brewing process, I enjoyed the beer being more pumpkin-like in flavor instead of being overwhelmed by intense spices like cinnamon and clove. Don’t get me wrong, the beer still had a nice spicy aroma and flavor to it, but it was well balanced with the hop profile and had me wishing more pumpkin beers would follow this type of recipe. The last thing I want when drinking a pumpkin beer is to think I opened a jar of cinnamon and guzzled it down. Wait, isn’t the cinnamon challenge a thing kids do these days for fun? Sigh, I’m so old.
DIPAs were all the rage this year, too — Escutcheon Brewing Co. made the top of our list. Brewed with four different types of west coast hops (Cascade, Columbus, Lemon Drop and Apollo), the Double Hull IPA was light amber in color with lovely citrus notes on the nose and a slightly bitter finish. I personally fell in love with Old Bust Head Brewing Company’s ExtraExtraOrdinary DIPA with nearly 100 pounds of Citra and Simcoe hops combined to create a beer with only 10 IBUs! Juicy tangerine and grapefruit flavors danced on your palate while the Simcoe hops added in a dank and pungent finish. If I could have picked one beer to drink during the entire festival, this DIPA would have been it! Paired with Parrano cheese, a firm and smooth cheese with nutty flavors, the finish of the DIPA was softened a bit while the nutty flavors balanced out the intensity of the Citra and Simcoe hops.
If you’re both a beer lover and foodie, make sure you put Old Bust Head’s Bleu and Brew Fest on your list for next year! It’s a great way to kick off the start of fall’s never ending list of beer festivals and gives those food and brew pairing lovers something a little bit different to enjoy. If you’re still hesitant about the whole beer and cheese pairing experiment (as we typically think it’s wine and cheese that go best together), this Beer and Cheese Pairing Cheat Sheet from Serious Eats is a great place to start! Cheers, and happy pairing! | 2019-04-18T20:21:52 | https://www.porchdrinking.com/articles/2016/09/22/old-bust-head-brewing-bleu-and-brew-festival-recap/ |

Individual Values (or IVs) are a hidden set of stats that are randomly applied to each Pokemon upon receiving or capturing them. They are part of what makes each Pokemon unique from another. These stats cannot be seen by looking at any stat menu in the game, but they are sometimes roughly calculated by using special calculators around the net. The calculators aren't always accurate but the IVs will be somewhere between 0 and 31 -- 0 being the worst and 31 being the best.
In Pokemon X & Y, there's a NPC in the Pokemon Center of Kiloude City that could analyze the IV of your Pokemon, hint his overall, best and worse status.
IVs will determine how high or low a particular stat can possibly be. A Pokemon's Individual Values are best calculated when you first catch the Pokemon. The more you use a Pokemon in battle, the more Effort Values it will gain, which will alter the calculations. If you can keep track of the EVs, you will be able to accurately calculate the IVs.
The Type for the attack Hidden Power is calculated entirely on the IVs of your Pokemon. Hidden Power is a special move that can use one of the eighteen different types of a Pokemon (e.g. Grass, Electric, Dragon, etc). Not only is the type calculated by the IVs but so is the base power of the move up to 60.
If you wish to know the Type of your Pokemon's Hidden Power, you need to go to Anistar City and enter the house that is right next to the clothing store.
If you have a Pokemon with a good set of IVs in a particular stat, you can pass down those IVs when Breeding. All you need to do is give a special item to the parent of the Pokemon you want to pass down IVs to. The item will pass down the IV of the stat it boosts.
However, if you give two different power items to both parents, the IV will be chosen at random for the offspring.
Characteristics shown at each Pokemon's summary screen usually shows the best IV out of all their stats. However, it doesn't tell you exactly how good their best stat is. It's possible their best stat only lands a 9 in the 0-31 IV Scale! Each characteristics will be under a certain IV. For example "Proud of it's Power" is for the Attack stat and "Loves to Eat" is for the HP Stat. | 2019-04-21T10:41:57 | https://www.ign.com/wikis/pokemon-x-y/Individual_Values |
Across the board, President Obama’s approval ratings are low for a president who has been touted as America’s political Messiah. Even so, I’ve wondered how with all the mess the nation is facing how his approval rating could still be in the 40 percent range. The most recent poll has him at around 45 percent.
His approval rating among blacks is very high – around 85 percent. That’s to be expected. Although more than 95 percent of blacks voted for him in two national elections, his numbers are down slightly among this core constituency.
Keep in mind that poll numbers include several factors. One factor is that he’s not being liberal enough.
There’s another group that is skewing the numbers higher: Muslims. In the 2012 presidential election “close to 90 percent voted for President Obama.” As a recent poll shows, that number is down slightly, but it’s still very high.
“President Barack Obama’s approval rating is higher among Muslims than any other religious group, a new poll says.
“According to a Gallup poll released Friday that tracked responses for the first six months of 2014, 72 percent of Muslims said they approve of the president, compared with just 20 percent who disapprove.
“Mormons were the least approving religious group, with 18 percent of Mormons approving and 78 percent disapproving of the president. Mormons in the past have ranked as the most conservative major religious group in the U.S.
“The survey underscores a religious divide when it comes to presidential approval — Obama is more popular among non-Christians and less popular among Christians.
“Those who classify as ‘Other non-Christian’ gave the president a 59 percent approval rating, while Jewish Americans gave Obama a 55 percent approval rating and atheists or those who subscribe to no religion have a 54 percent approval rating.
We need to keep in mind that there is a bottom to his numbers. There is a floor to which Obama’s approval ratings will never drop below. No matter what he does or how bad things get, there will always be people who will support him. There’s no dissuading them. | 2019-04-19T22:25:01 | https://americasfreedomfighters.com/obamas-approval-ratings-at-historic-highs-among-muslims/ |

To be clear, for black medical students, supporting Black Lives Matter and other health equality and social justice initiatives is not a matter of a professional oath. It is a matter of life or death, close or distant — that of a loved one or of a stranger of the same hue and shared struggles.
When I first read that the Northam picture came from a medical school yearbook, I thought about whoever might have been his Black classmates at the time.
On Thursday, many of you will gather round a dinner table with your loved ones and give gratitude for your friends, family and good fortune. Many of you will think of the meal associated with the inception of this holiday, be filled with warm fuzzy feelings and gloss over the real history surrounding the relationship between those who supposedly attended the first “Thanksgiving” dinner. After eating a second helping of Grandma’s famous pie, few will be concerned about the side of historical oppression or racist colonization offered with this dinner because well, that isn’t so palatable.
My recent psychiatry clerkship inspired me to examine racial relations during third-year rotations. This reflection originated from a physician submitting a particularly disturbing evaluation of me. She wrote: “[The student does not] recognize and address personal limitations or behaviors that might affect their effectiveness as a physician … [The student is] defensive, rigid, intense and intrusive; unable to see nuances in human behavior that is necessary for analyses of the human psyche; lower emotional quotient than peers.” Her response left me with an open-jawed, stuporous gaze. I could not believe that she had made this kind of assessment after interacting with me in only two patient encounters for less than half a day!
As an “underrepresented minority” in medicine, my personal experiences of mistreatment while navigating the challenges of pursuing this career are mostly invisible to the rest of society, but I know that they are far from mythical or unique. In fact, my experiences harmonize perfectly with the tales of so many African-American physicians before me and even in the accounts of the students I currently mentor. Everyone asks, “Aren’t things different now for African-Americans?” Yes. But, are they better? Sadly, not exactly.
