… have been promoting a free webinar I’m offering next week.
I’m also opening the doors on a product and this webinar will talk about it – a teeny bit – at the end, as well as offer a discount on the product for people who attend.
It’s a lot easier to get people to show up to something free than it is to get them to buy something outright.
But, if you tie the two together – and aren’t too heavy handed about promoting whatever you’re selling – the “free” gives them a chance to check you out and consider taking the next step. | 2019-04-25T12:35:14Z | https://thetodayiblog.com/have-been-promoting-a-free-webinar-im-offering-next-week/ |

Camille’s in the House! Please Welcome Camille Faye to the Blogathon!
We are already FB and Twitter friends. 🙂 I enjoyed hearing your background and can’t wait to read your novel!
Today I have Camille Faye at the Blogathon! And she’s also doing a fab giveaway, so stay tuned for info on that!
Camille, tell us all about you! What would you most like your readers to know?
I am smack dab in the middle of the mothering season. I have a toddler and a soon-to-be second grader. You think that age difference would mean they wouldn’t fight, well, like siblings. And you’d be wrong. In between my job as a mom-referee, I write for my critique group’s blog, The Literary Ladies, which focuses on empowering women writers. I also write paranormal fiction which is based on my personal experiences growing up in a haunted house. Voodoo Butterfly, my debut novel, was a 2013 Lone Star Contest finalist and has earned only 4 and 5-star reviews on Amazon. (Mama’s proud).
Multiple award-winning novelist and children's book author. Former bank VP and hospital PR director turned pajama-wearing writer. Find me online or at Starbucks where I'll be writing while sipping a skinny vanilla latte. If I'm not there, it's possible I'm at T.J. Maxx.

We had the Russo party out yesterday Joe, Andy and Joe. We had to bounce around quite a bit to put a catch together, to much drift in one spot not enough in another but the guys toughed it out and put some nice fish in the box 20" inches plus and lots of shorts as well. We also stopped to watch a Humpback Whale feed on bait a couple miles out of Raritan Bay and the guys were able to snap some good pictures.
Today we had our regulars Joe, TJ, and Eric out for a half day Fluke Charter along with Marc and Justin for their first trip. Joe started out on the first drop and boxed a nice 4.5 pound fish nice way to start the morning! And we steady picked at keepers the rest of the morning with lots of short Fluke and a few hard pulling Cownose Rays. Thanks guys always a great group!
Pulled out of Bahrs Marina in Highlands NJ. yesterday with Bob and the guys for some deep water Fluke fishing we had to work at it today doing quite a bit of running around. But Bob and the guys managed to put some nice keepers in the box to 5.5 lbs. fun day great group of guys! | 2019-04-21T04:19:24Z | http://billchasercharters.com/index.php/sandy-hook-fishing-reports?start=100 |
Today is the first of five Sundays with gospel readings from John 6, the first four of which focus on Jesus as bread of life. Today Jesus feeds thousands of people with five loaves and two fish. What we have, what we bring to Jesus' table seems like it is not nearly enough to meet all the needs we see around us. But it is not the adequacy of our supplies or our skills that finally makes the difference: it is the power of Jesus working in the littlest and least to transform this world into the world God desires, a world where all the hungry are satisfied. | 2019-04-20T14:28:16Z | http://www.beinggrace.org/2015/07/sunday-july-26-2015-ninth-sunday-after.html |

The pharmaceutical sciences are a division of the natural sciences that seek to comprehensively study life and health through drugs. Pharmaceutical research is anticipated to produce achievements in knowledge and technology that can greatly benefit the health and welfare of all humanity. Under Chiba University's maxim, “Always Aim Higher”, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences strives to foster drug experts with superior research skills who can serve as leaders on the global stage.
It goes without saying that pharmaceutical research has made great contributions toward the advancement of humanity. The discovery of effective drugs and the development of treatments and diagnostic methods, which have led to the conquest of many diseases, would not be possible without the steadfast efforts of pharmaceutical researchers. However, many pressing medical and environmental issues, including high mortality conditions such as cancer and heart and brain disorders, emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases, and pollution, remain unresolved. Consequently, society is expecting and demanding further progress in pharmaceutical research.
The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at Chiba University has cultivated a long history and tradition since its foundation 128 years ago, and to this day, continues to be one of the preeminent schools of pharmacy in Japan. In the course of our long history, both the undergraduate and graduate programs have played major roles in advancing pharmaceutical sciences in Japan and have engaged in extremely high-level education and research, even compared with international standards. Many graduates of both programs have gone on to become leaders in corporations, health care establishments, universities, and government agencies, both in Japan and overseas.
We would like to see the young people studying at our Inohana campus eventually spread their wings to become highly ambitious human resources with research abilities, such as pharmacists with exceptional qualities who will spearhead efforts to tackle problems in health care, investigators who will engage in the research and development of pharmaceuticals on the global stage, and researchers, educators, and government administrators who will explore the relationship between humans and chemical substances. In these capacities, we hope our students will spur the unfolding of new chapters in the history of our esteemed Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences.

Without a doubt, the widespread Adiantum pedatum (Canada south to Florida) is one of our most elegant North American native ferns. The horizontal horseshoe-like wreath of foliage rests atop 18-24" tall, wiry black stems. Northern maidenhair fern thrives in moist, rich soil, but also grows well in all but the driest of woodland garden sites. The light, airy, fine texture of Adiantum pedatum fronds serves as a perfect backdrop for hostas and other bold foliage plants. In early April, this deciduous native fern unfurls for a true Kodak moment. In 10 years, expect a 2' wide deer-resistant clump. In the 1900s, Adiantum pedatum was used medicinally to treat arthritis, asthma, nasal congestion, wound bleeding, and to cleanse and condition shiny hair...better plant several clumps. | 2019-04-21T22:33:11Z | https://www.plantdelights.com/products/adiantum-pedatum-maidenhair-fern |

"Effect of weather on pedestrian trip count and duration: City-scale ev" by Anthony P. Vanky, Santosh K. Verma et al.
We examined the association between meteorological (weather) conditions in a given locale and pedestrian trips frequency and duration, through the use of locative digital data. These associations were determined for seasonality, urban microclimate, and commuting. We analyzed GPS data from a broadly available activity tracking mobile phone application that automatically recorded 247,814 trips from 5432 unique users in Boston and 257,697 trips from 8256 users in San Francisco over a 50-week period. Generally, we observed increased air temperature and the presence of light cloud cover had a positive association with hourly trip frequency in both cities, regardless of seasonality. Temperature and weather conditions generally showed greater associations with weekend and discretionary travel, than with weekday and required travel. Weather conditions had minimal association with the duration of the trip, once the trip was initiated. The observed associations in some cases differed between the two cities. Our study illustrates the opportunity that emerging technology presents to study active transportation, and exposes new methods to wider consideration in preventive medicine.

What happens when a robot doesn’t move, doesn’t talk, or do anything else? Not much. And that’s totally fine in Tom Gauld’s The Giant Robot, recommended by Raul. The lack of action in the book lets Raul’s kids’ imaginations run wild.
See what yesteryear’s futurists thought technology would help us do, and discover how far we have yet to go on British Pathé’s Robots & Futurism YouTube playlist, recommended by Ashley. As she points out, part of the fun in watching these old clips is considering why some robot dreams came true while others withered.
Wander a dystopian world full of broken robot parts in a beautiful puzzle app by Amanita Design, Machinarium, recommended by Raul. Fair warning: while the app is suitable for kids, you will find mild bouts of robot on robot violence and the gameplay will be challenging for younger ones.
Take the day off like Gumby and Pokey and let robots do your work for you in this classic short claymation from Art Clokey’s The Gumby Show, recommended by Jessie. Will robots take over or will Gumby save the day?
Follow the friendship between a boy and a robot from space in The Iron Giant, also recommended by Raul (he and his kids really love robots!). This adaptation of the classic Ted Hughes novel from 1968 traces tales of friendship, outer space, and government. It’s not a movie for every kid but the ones who love it will really love it.

I graduated from university nearly two years ago and have been trying to get into HR ever since. The closest I have got is my current role, where I work as a recruitment co-ordinator for a recruitment agency. Can you offer any advice as to where to look for experience directly in HR – either paid or unpaid? I do have the transferable skills but companies seem reluctant to take me on, even at an administrator level.
HR has witnessed unprecedented growth and recognition resulting in a wide variety of progressive jobs. However, this recognition has fuelled demand from employers and a strong supply of prospective HR candidates. Competition is fierce and HR is now a more popular career choice for graduates.
As time goes on, and without any direct HR experience, you will find this competition getting stronger. So it is crucial to understand why you want to get into HR and dedicate yourself to this pursuit. You must also understand why your previous applications were unsuccessful. If you don’t have an HR-related degree or a recognised postgraduate qualification such as Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, then it might be a qualification issue. Without two or three years’ experience, employers will consider a qualification important, as it means you will be competent from day one. In addition to the academic benefits of studying, you will also build a strong network of HR contacts.
Working in a recruitment consultancy is not an uncommon route into HR and it can provide a useful insight into an important HR discipline. I would, however, need to understand more about what you do to see whether it would be relevant for you – and how difficult it would be – to move into HR.
Personnel managers used to start their career as administrators or secretaries, but as HR has taken on an increasingly strategic dimension, this is now a thing of the past. If your role is entirely administrative, it might be worth trying to get directly involved with the recruitment cycle, and a conversation within your own firm might open doors without the need to look for unpaid experience.
You have two options: either you can work in-house as an HR officer or work for an HR consultancy. Either way, you should register with a recruitment consultancy specialising in HR, as well as contacting employers directly. Also consider working on temporary assignments. Most large companies need to cover holidays and such like, and this could be the first step onto your HR career ladder. | 2019-04-22T08:34:30Z | https://www.personneltoday.com/hr/my-next-move-15/ |
A natural vent in Turkey where pure hydrogen seeps out.
In 2009, geologists discovered a new, previously unknown natural phenomenon: some places on the Earth’s crust were seeping hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is odorless, invisible, tasteless, non-toxic, and, the most important, a very diffusive gas. This may explain why hydrogen in such places was not recognized earlier.
This gas seeps out over very wide areas, which collectively equates to a large amount of gas. Dating of these vents indicated they could have been active over hundreds of thousands of years. In fact, natural flames associated with hydrogen vents are known to have existed for longer than recorded time, one of which is claimed to be the origin of the first Olympic fire.
In 2013, an international team of geologists, chemists and engineers, all having extensive experience in hydrogen research, formed Natural Hydrogen Energy Ltd (NH2E) with the goal of finding an answer to the question. NH2E then began a search for hydrogen vents which encompassed many countries and thousands of soil gas tests, led by the company’s geologist Nikolay Larin. In 2015, NH2E discovered substantial hydrogen flows in many parts of the USA. Dr. Viacheslav Zgonnik, manager of the project, estimated the hydrogen flows to be as much as several metric tons per day, depending on the location.
On the USA’s Atlantic coast, the Carolina bays seep hydrogen gas.
The market for hydrogen gas is increasing daily, not only for fuel cell vehicles, but also for fertilizer, with anhydrous ammonia made from hydrogen and nitrogen, recently totaling some 160 million metric tons per year. Currently, the most common process used for hydrogen generation requires the decomposition of natural gas (resulting in the release of CO2). This accounts for 5% of US natural gas consumption. There is a real need for cheap, clean and sustainable hydrogen.
Natural (geological) hydrogen is not related to autobon or other emissions. It is also non-fossil. This means that it is a sustainable resource. It can reduce the footprint of the transportation and chemical industry.
Instead of drilling for fossil fuels (and transforming them to H2), NH2E proposes to drill directly for clean hydrogen. It should be noted that there are several examples of hydrogen-producing wells in the world.
Currently, NH2E is seeking like-minded individuals or companies with an interest in joining in a discovery drilling program that may create a new industry with high profits. NH2E has numerous potentially profitable mineral leases in several states and approved drilling permits.
Charles Odendhal, Administrator for NH2E, wrote recently, “There must be millions of active hydrogen vents worldwide and the recovery of such abundant hydrogen should easily replace our dependence on fossil fuels.” He noted that this would also be an industry which would last forever, if the eternal flames from existing hydrogen vents are an indication. | 2019-04-18T10:41:01Z | http://codebonus.info/index.php/hydrogen-fuel/natural-hydrogen-a-new-source-of-energy-seeks-commercial-production-investors/ |

ISCA - International Sport and Culture AssociationThere was a Tartu Call – but nobody picked up the phone!
There was a Tartu Call – but nobody picked up the phone!
Comment by ISCA President Mogens Kirkeby. (Photo by European Commission: The EU Commissioner for Health and food Safety, Vytenis Andriukaitis, signs the Tartu Call).
Under much festivity, the Tartu Call for healthy lifestyles was announced by Commissioners Hogan, Andriukaitis and Navracsics in connection to the European Week of Sport in September last year. At ISCA, we were pleased to see these commitments, and gave our recommendations and own commitments in return.
Also in the EU Platform for Action on Diet, Physical Activity and Health (where ISCA is a member), it was announced with great pride that the EU Health Ministers and stakeholders in the High Level Group had agreed to put emphasis on Health-Enhancing Physical Activity as a solution to many of society’s health problems.
As any good journalist will know, it is important to “follow the money” and see where investments will actually be made.
A very obvious place for the EU to put money behind the intentions is the EU Health Programme. So when the EU Annual Work Programme for Health for 2018 was announced recently we at ISCA read it with great interest. Because surely, physical activity would have a significant role in that?
To our disappointment, there is no such mention in the Work Programme on the upcoming calls.
It would seem that the Tartu Call was made – but nobody picked up the phone. | 2019-04-25T04:13:17Z | http://isca-web.org/english/news/therewasatartucallbutnobodypickedupthephone |

He does it the way his father and grandfathers taught him: heating billets of raw jigane iron in the fire, burning powdered hagane steel into it for strength, then hammering the alloy by hand until it’s sharp and smooth. It’s the same method blacksmiths in this port city used for centuries to craft weaponry for the samurai and part of a broader smithing tradition, including guns and tools, that has earned Sakai a reputation for precision metalwork.
Shimano, which crafts some of the finest metal bicycle components on the market, also hails from Sakai City. Last week, I had the chance to visit the company’s factory for the launch of Shimano’s new top-line mountain components, XTR 9100.
The factory floor, bigger than six football fields, is incredible to behold, especially when you consider that it accounts only for Shimano’s highest-end bike products, XTR and Dura Ace, as well as some fishing equipment. (Lower-tier parts are built elsewhere in Japan, as well as southeast Asia.) Shockingly, from a catwalk above the floor, I could only ever see a dozen or so people monitoring and working at the machinery. Production is mostly accomplished by robotic arms and conveyor belts, and unmanned forklifts drive containers of parts from station to station.
Production of an XTR crank starts with sheets and tubes of aluminum. The process consists of five steps: forging, in which the metal is pressed into shape; machining, where precise shapes like spindle holes are cut away; heat treating, where the temperature of the metal is raised and cooled to add strength and rigidity; surface treatments, such as anodization, for durability; and gluing, with laser guiding that creates seals so precise they are virtually invisible.
There are variations on all of these processes. For instance, cold forging is used for three-dimensional objects such as brake calipers, while hot closed-die forging, where the metal is heated and then injected into a form, is best for complicated shapes such as brake levers. Every new or updated component requires fresh molds and sometimes new machines, each of which can take six months to a year to develop.
It’s been four years since Shimano came out with the previous-edition XTR group set, XTR 9000. The company says it took all that time to get the new group right. Dozens of people, including several engineering teams, a dedicated industrial designer, and three product managers, went back and forth to field feedback from dealers and consumers, decide what technological advancements to include in each component, hit weight and performance targets, and home in on the look and feel.
Other changes are nuanced technology developments, most notably Hyperglide+, which smooths out shifting by reshaping gear teeth and redesigning the chain so the tolerances are tighter. Shimano says this removes the clunkiness when shifting down the cassette so that moving to a bigger gear feels as seamless as moving to a smaller one. The crank is now direct-mount, which alleviates proprietary spider configurations, and a new free-hub technology eliminates splines so freewheeling is silent. Brake levers are completely revamped with a new bracing point to improve rigidity and control, and a new enduro-specific pedal adds stability and contact area for sneaker-styles shoes. There’s even a slick dropper-post lever, the company’s first, with ergonomics inspired by its substantial shift-button know-how. Finally, as always, overall weights are down.
All that technology won’t come cheap, though Shimano slots in below the competition. An XTR 9100 drivetrain in the XC setup (crank, 10- to 51T cassette, chain, shifter, rear derailleur) will retail for $1,254, compared to $1,356 for SRAM Eagle XX1. XTR brakes (levers, calipers, hoses, and rotors) will go for $760 complete versus $720 for SRAM Guide Ultimates.
Having lagged behind in mountain bike development, Shimano needs a hit with the new XTR, which may be part of why the company has made such a big deal about the release of 9100 despite the relative subtlety of its improvements. In the end, the new components made me think of Mizuno and his knives. Off the shelf, any good kitchen knife will be sharp, but the fastidious construction process and attention to detail is what (supposedly) makes Mizuno’s superior. In an effort to reclaim its mountain bike mantle, Shimano is making the same argument about XTR 9100.
The new components look promising. But it’s impossible to say for sure until I get my hands on a group for long-term testing—which is in the works for next month—because the proof, of course, is in the ride. | 2019-04-23T16:34:08Z | https://www.outsideonline.com/2313851/how-shimano-created-new-xtr-9100-group-set |

The Windy City has definitely become a player in the technological revolution. Thanks to its attractive business ecosystem, startups and Fortune 500 companies are enjoying what Chicago has to offer. Indeed, 110 honorees on the 2018 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies were Chicago-based.
But plans are in place for additional affordable housing. For example, Logan Square is set to get 30% of the 117 units in the 120 foot tower by North Milwaukee Avenue. If the project is approved it will help Chicagoans with their housing problems. This is especially so since house prices have increased 17 percent this year.
He then details how Chicago got here as it wasn’t a foregone conclusion.
Earlier this month there was significant advancement in the plan to develop affordable housing units in the same building as Chicago’s public libraries with the Mayor’s announcement as to which architects and developers won the bid for the project. The Irving Park, Little Italy and West Rogers Park facilities will all have access to ground floor libraries which will give community members and tenants services such as: early childhood learning programs, homework assistance, and teen digital tools among others.
In a report put out by the National Low Income Housing Coalition earlier this year Chicago was ranked at Number 37 for affordable housing availability. Hopefully it’ll go up on the list with these upcoming projects. | 2019-04-24T19:46:54Z | http://chicago.businessdistrict.com/category/infrastructure/ |

In his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus contrasted what he called treasures on earth and treasures in heaven. Treasures on earth are evanescent and corruptible, whereas treasures in heaven will never pass away or suffer corrosion. What one treasures matters, because “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:21).
The point isn’t that our hearts shouldn’t have any treasures; indeed, Jesus assumes that our hearts will place value on whatever we find. His point is, rather, that our hearts must treasure the right kinds of things because what we treasure determines our eternal destiny—the place of our treasure is where our hearts also will be.
What does it look like to lay up treasures in heaven? In its catalog of Old Testament saints, Hebrews 11:24-26 offers Moses as an example. Because God used the daughter of Pharaoh to deliver Moses from death as a baby, Moses grew up in the royal household of Egypt. As a royal son, Moses had the opportunity to enjoy the best the world of his day had to offer. Egypt was one of the wealthiest and most powerful nations in the world in the middle of the second millennium BC and as a member of the royal household Moses could have tasted Egypt’s finest and experienced a long and pleasure-filled life within its kingdom.
Given the Hebrews’ enslavement to the Egyptians at the time, there would seem to have been no compelling reason for Moses to give up the advantages of life in the royal household—his treasures on earth—in order to identify with God’s people. Nevertheless, Moses rejected his privileged status as a royal son. Why? Because (1) he saw that it was better “to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin” (2) he “considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt” and (3) he “was looking to the reward” (Hebrews 11:25-26).
That is, Moses believed in the God of Israel and trusted that belonging to God and God’s people—even in the midst of great affliction—was worth much more than any advantages sin could offer. To use Jesus’ language, Moses believed that treasures in heaven were far superior to treasures on earth and therefore, his heart led him to suffer with the people of God.
So what does it look like to lay up treasures in heaven? It means believing God’s promises and identifying with God’s people despite the sure affliction that will follow (Hebrews 10:32-34). God is faithful to his promises and what he promises his people—salvation, life and inheritance—is eternal and incorruptible.
Compared to the enduring and incorruptible reward for God’s people, even the longest, securest life of sin’s advantages will be fleeting and quickly destroyed. I urge each of you to lay up treasures in heaven with Moses, believe that God “rewards those who seek him” (Hebrews 11:6) and find your fundamental identity with God’s people.

Everyone these days wants to be like Amazon, even the NFL apparently.
At the 2017 GeekWire Sports Tech Summit, NFL COO Tod Leiweke addressed Amazon’s deal to stream 10 Thursday Night Football games this season for a reported price of $50 million. Amazon took over for Twitter, which paid a reported $10 million for the same exact package last season.
Leiweke praised Amazon and compared his league to the retail giant’s approach of “customer obsession” when it comes to improving the experience for fans.
Leiweke continued the comparison, saying that both Amazon and the NFL take nothing for granted. The goal is convenience, whether it be how people buy stuff online, or how they watch a football game. Twitter is still part of the NFL’s digital experience, inking a new multi-year deal in May for several programs to be aired through Periscope and Twitter.
Details of Amazon’s NFL broadcast plans are starting to trickle out. The games will only be available for Prime members, giving Amazon another sweetener to convince people to sign up for its fast-shipping program. Reuters today reported that Amazon plans to charge $2.8 million for packages that include 30-second spots during the streamed games, as well as ads on Amazon’s website during football season.
Leiweke, who previously worked for the Seattle Seahawks as the team’s CEO, said Seattle is rapidly becoming the center of technology in sports. Microsoft is one of the NFL’s biggest technology partners, with everyone from players and coaches to officials using Surface tablets to instantaneously rehash plays.
Leiweke also shouted out Vicis, the Seattle startup that makes a high-tech football helmet designed to mitigate the forces thought to cause concussions. Vicis has shipped its helmet to nearly every NFL team, and 12 have officially placed orders for more. | 2019-04-22T03:13:59Z | https://www.geekwire.com/2017/nfl-loves-amazon-key-league-exec-explains-tech-giants-football-streaming-deal/ |

Agence France-Presse reports that the first person killed when the Israeli military began to enter Gaza on Saturday was a Palestinian child.
On Sunday, a Palestinian woman and her four children were blown to pieces when Israeli warplanes bombed their home. They are among the 521 victims (at the time of this writing) of the ongoing air and ground assault on the Gaza Strip by a 9,000 strong force, which the Israeli government has launched on one of the most densely populated tracts of land in the world, home to 1.5 million Palestinians, half of them under 17 years of age.
Israel began the military assault on Gaza on November 4, breaking the truce that Hamas had observed for many months. It went on to block food supplies to be delivered into Gaza by the UN Relief Works and World Food Program. The next casualty was the crucial fuel delivery service used to run Gaza’s power plant. Finally, Israel banned journalists and aid workers from entering Gaza.
Falk, a professor emeritus of international law at Princeton University and United Nations special rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories, urged the UN to invoke “the agreed norm of a responsibility to protect a civilian population being collectively punished by policies that amount to a Crime Against Humanity.” Falk also called for an International Criminal Court investigation of Israeli military and civilian officials for potential prosecution.
For this, he was detained at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport for 20 hours before being expelled from Israel.
As Israeli tanks and ground troops pour into Gaza to engage in the worst kind of combat (should we even measure types of warfare against one another?), urban warfare, the atrocities on both sides continue, and one may assume that the situation will only worsen with time, as it inevitably does in progressive stages of war.
“Operation Cast Lead” as Israel’s latest offensive is named, has claimed, since December 27, over 520 Palestinian lives. Gaza medical officials put the number of wounded at over 2,400, most of them civilians.
Hamas rockets have killed five Israelis, one of them a soldier and four of them civilians. As with Israeli attacks that kill and wound Palestinian civilians are a war crime, Hamas firing their grossly inaccurate rockets into Israel, which then wound and kill Israeli civilians, is also a war crime.
According to KPFA radio correspondent Sameh Habeeb, “Around 17 people [from the Al-Atatra family] were killed in Bait Lahia town north of Gaza. Amongst them were several children, two brothers, 20-year-olds and many old men who were all killed by one rocket.” Habeeb also reports of Israeli war planes striking water plants, dozens of houses, the use of white phosphorous incendiary weapons and of at least 15 mosques having been bombed. Dozens of people have been killed in the attacks against the mosques. Israeli Foreign Minister Ms. Tzipi Livni explains patiently, “But a war is a war; these things can happen. This is not our intention, but we cannot avoid completely any kind of civilian casualties. But the responsibility for this lies on Hamas’ shoulders.” The slaughter only compounds the hardships that Palestinians have suffered due to the severe shortages of food and medical supplies accruing from the two-year-old economic blockade imposed upon Gaza by Israel.
The UN has warned that there are “critical gaps” in aid reaching Gaza, despite claims from Livni that aid was getting through.
Back in Gaza, the International Committee for the Red Cross said on Sunday its medical emergency team had been prevented by the Israeli military for a third day from entering the territory. Here again, is an uncanny similarity with the situation in Iraq, particularly during the two US sieges of Fallujah during 2004, when medical and aid teams were not allowed into the city, and teams already inside were regularly targeted by the military when they attempted to rescue the wounded.
I am aware that for those who have not experienced war firsthand, an accusation against a supposedly civilized government of the deliberate targeting of medical personnel, who are, in theory, protected by international law, is unbelievable and shocking. But there are others like me who have witnessed such tactics firsthand on several occasions. I saw it being used by the Israeli military during their assault on southern Lebanon during summer 2006, just as I had seen the US military doing in Fallujah in 2004.
Such is the madness of war.
How can anyone expect the wide-scale butchering in Gaza to be any different when the dogs of war have been let loose? Psychosis, mental illness, the specious “logic” of it all: The fundamental assumption that war can ever solve a crisis is false. Has this not been apparent from the beginning of history?
At this point, it simply must be stopped. No human, no matter what their race, religion or nationality, should ever have to endure the effects of war.
Yet, impotent governments across the world remain unwilling to intervene, some conniving proactively to aggravate the distress of the targeted populations. Egypt has completely closed the Rafah crossing, effectively cutting off aid supplies to the hapless surviving residents of Gaza.
It is the United Nations, however, that must be granted the undisputed crowning glory of impotence. In a move tried and tested for years now, last Saturday evening, the United States, yet again wielding its veto power to protect the actions of Israel, blocked approval of a UN Security Council statement expressing concern at the escalation of violence between Israel and Hamas and calling for an immediate cease-fire in the Gaza Strip and southern Israel. Perhaps, there is consolation in the fact that this was no great loss because, had the statement been approved, it would still have remained an empty gesture unable to check the violence.
“And where two raging fires meet together, they do consume the thing that feeds their fury…,” said Shakespeare in “The Taming of the Shrew.” But one of the worst conflict conditions in the world indicates otherwise. The fury and the fire rage unabated. | 2019-04-26T11:51:29Z | http://www.dahrjamail.net/2009/01/06/the-monstrosity-of-war/ |
In this book Clive Benney continues his photographic journey around St Agnes and takes the reader through Rosemundy and up to Goonown and Goobell. Once again a large number of previously unpublished photographs have been included together with detailed text from contemporary newspaper accounts and people's reminiscences. It is a nostalgic trip into the past and a fascinating glimpse of a former version of the village. | 2019-04-24T14:55:06Z | https://www.museumsincornwall.org.uk/Up-Goonown-and-Goonbell/St-Agnes-Museum/View-Product/ |
Are you ready for an exciting adventure? Let's be off. This trip is not through strip and mall territory. There are no corporate fast food restaurants until you reach Amherst. Be prepared. Pack a lunch. Fill your gas tank.
At Parrsboro, the Glooscap Trail heads north toward Springhill and Amherst. That's not the way you want to go unless you're in a hurry to get to Amherst. We're going travel Highway #209 that parallels the Minas Channel. It's one of the most interesting drives in Nova Scotia. The first few miles of #209 passes through spruce bog, fields of wild blueberry bushes and coniferous forest. Watch for signs to Fox River Look-Off for a marvelous view over the Minas Channel. If you can believe an old fisherman with a sense of humour, on a clear day you might see the outline of the Cape Split headlands on the far shore.
Stop down the road in Port Greville for a look at the oldest American elm tree in Nova Scotia. It's growing right by the Highway and is signed. The elm is 75 feet high, 25 feet in circumference, approximately 150 years old and not yet affected by Dutch Elm disease. You can't miss it! Turn onto the Port Greville Beach road. This beach is great for shelling, rock-hounding and finding sea treasures. It's also a favourite for dulce gatherers.
Still in Port Greville, the Age-of-Sail Heritage Centre presents the story of lumbering and shipbuilding along the Minas Channel. The history of shore communities is also well told. For those with roots in the area, the Centre's genealogical data base is an invaluable resource. The site which includes a blacksmith Shop and Port Greville Light is open June through September.
There are lots of great photo taking opportunities along #209. We pulled onto Bennett Road to take pictures of an old cemetery on a far hill and were rewarded with a colourful landscape. Fields and hills of wild blueberry plants had turned autumn crimson. Yellow Loosestrife grew in abundance, its colour striking against the green shades of pine forests on far hills. We stepped out of our vehicle into a roadside patch of blueberries. Mmm good!
Next stop, Spencer Island. Old pilings from the era of ship building can still be seen on the beach. Spencer Island is best known as the port where the brigantine, Mary Celeste was built and launched in 1861. The ship, first named "Amazon", was renamed Mary Celeste in 1868. She was found drifting, 600 miles off the coast of Gibralter on December 5, 1872. The ship had been abandoned in haste and had drifted for some days before being sighted and boarded. The Captain, his wife, baby, crew and the ship's cat were never found. Spencer Island beach is a great place for rock-hounding. When beachcombing, always be aware of tides.
Cape d'Or Lighthouse and headlands lie at least three miles off Highway #209. If you don't make the trip, you'll miss some of the most dramatic sea views in Nova Scotia. Follow signs for the Lighthouse, Lighthouse Kitchen and Guest House - small signs albeit. Don't expect to find huge glaring billboards in Nova Scotia. When you arrive at the site, don't be fooled by the small white building beside the parking lot on top of the cliff. This is not what you came to see. Get out of your vehicle and walk to the observation platform. The lighthouse is below you on a wild bit of land. Views from the top are spectacular; views from the bottom unsurpassed. There's a rough road down the cliff but if you're not staying at the guest house, you'll have to hike down to the lighthouse. A sign does warn that the climb back up is more strenuous than it appears. It is!
When you're at light level, you'll notice signs warning that cliffs are unstable and dangerous, so use common sense and stay well back from crumbling edges and high seas. Be sure to bring your camera. This area presents some great picture taking opportunities. There's a surprise at the bottom - The Lightkeepers Kitchen and Guest House. What a place to spend a night! Before your long climb up the rough road, drop in for a chat, tea and muffins, or lunch.
For a less strenuous climb back up the road, walk up in zigzag fashion rather than in a straight line. As one local said - Think like a dog. Go from here to there and back and forth, left to right to left. It works!
Ready for the next stop? Sweeping Advocate Bay lies just down the road from Cape d'Or. The village has an Acadian look as buildings are built tight to both sides of the Highway. During low tides, clam diggers go out on the mud flats on all terrain vehicles. These people can read tides and know when to retreat to shore. Watching them is fun. Occasionally there'll be a horse drawn wagon show up on the mud flats too. A memorial on the shore at Advocate Bay is dedicated to all area people who have lost their lives at sea.
Next not-to-be-missed attraction is Advocate Beach, accessed at West Advocate. Watch closely for signs. Again they are small and unobtrusive. Spend several hours wandering through, up and over piles of driftwood that stretch down the beach for five miles. It's free for the taking too. Dare you to fill your trunk! Winds and tidal currents pile hundreds of tons of driftwood on this shore. What a place for beachcombing. On windy days people walk the dyke trail behind the beach to access the piles. Remember that when the sea is angry, Advocate Beach is not the place to be!
For those who are experienced hikers and physically fit people there's a new park being developed just past Advocate. A large natural area has been set aside for Cape Chegnecto Provincial Park which is in the development stage. The park presently has walk-in and back country camp sites. Rough trails lead to magnificent views of Minas Channel, Chegnecto Bay and soaring headlands. The coastal hiking trail is strenuous. Trails do have steep sided canyons that have to be negotiated. The Park, at the moment, is for the serious hiker and adventurer.
For those of us who like less strenuous adventure, leave Advocate Beach and drive for approximately 30 miles past Apple River and on to Joggins. This route is unique for its total lack of traffic and amenities. In a number of places bailey bridges are set at peculiar angles to the road. With no service stations, no restaurants and in some places no hydro poles, you might think you've landed at the end of nowhere. Anyone you do see along the way, usually waves. You will see plenty of partridge. They come at you from all sides. Occasionally deer and fox cross in front of your vehicle.
Highway #209 eventually intersects with #242 that leads to Joggins. First stop in the small village, known for its fossils, should be at Joggins Fossil Centre to get a close peek at what you should be watching for at Joggins Cliff. Want a snack? A General Store is located across the road from the Fossil Centre. Follow signs to Joggins Cliff, sometimes referred to as "The Cliff". Try to time your visit to be at the cliff during receding or low tide. As Joggins Cliff is a protected site you can eye-ball only. This fascinating area tells the story of an ancient forest growing on a flood plain where rivers ran, continuously flooded their banks and shifting course. Horsetail plants grew in the thick underbrush. Today, layers of yellow-brown clay show clear traces of fossilized roots. High up on the cliffs, large fossilized tree trunks stand upright, rooted in coal that was the previous lush forest floor.
After leaving Joggins some folks make their way across country toward Springhill to see the Anne Murray Centre and Tour-a-Mine & Springhill Miners Museum. In 1958, Springhill was the scene of a terrible mining disaster known as the 1958 Bump. Anne Murray is a well known Canadian singer.
Other folks head to Amherst, a full-service community, known for its Victorian streetscapes, downtown murals, museums and festivals. Amherst is the gateway to Nova Scotia for those people arriving via New Brunswick. It is well situated at the junction of Route #6, the Sunrise Trail and #2 The Glooscap.
We prefer to drive along #302 and #366 to Amherst Shore Country Inn on the Northumberland Straits. The Inn is wonderful and comes highly recommended. Folks are friendly A by-reservation four-course gourmet dinner is preceded by cocktails. Rooms are well appointed. Ours had a Jacuzzi that was much appreciated. Vegetable and flower gardens are spectacular. The proprietors grow a healthy proportion of the food they serve. The Amherst Shore Country Inn makes a great place to relax for several days while taking in local sites and attractions. | 2019-04-18T12:27:34Z | http://www.mestern.net/canada/novascotia/amherst/index.php |

This is a group of strawberry pickers, around 1899-1900, in a field which used to be opposite the railway station. It was part of a nursery belonging to WG Holmes, Seed Merchant. The nursery mainly grew strawberries and fruit trees eg apples. pears, plums. It later became a football field and was known as Coronation Park. It is now a depot for a construction firm.
Standing at back L to R - Macrae or Campbell (?), Janet ? (Knockbreck St). WG Holmes, Alick Munro (Mounteagle), Bob Stenhouse, Mrs Macdonald, William Munro, George Oman, George Graham, Angus Hepburn; group of three at LHS - ? Graham, George Mackenzie )former General Manager of British Linen Bank), Willie Holmes; group of four in middle - Roddie Ross, Andrew Ross, Andrew Gallie, Tom Mackenzie; Two at RHS - ? Cameron, ? Urquhart.
I believe there may be 3 or 4 ancestors in this photo. Andrew Ross (?son of Hugh Ross c1838), Andrew Gallie (?related to James Ross McLean Gallie), young Urquhart (?related to Andrew Urquhart c1845 and married to Barbara Gallie). We live in South Australia and are descendants of George Ross, born in Edderton 1840 and migrated to Australia 1867.
I believe the Angus Hepburn mentioned is my grandfather who worked for the railways and lived in Hilton. He married Isabella McAngus and they had 5 children. Subsequently he moved to Stornoway where he worked for the civil service before retiring to Edinburgh. I would appreciate any more information readers may have.
Fascinating. Never knew that strawberries were ever grown in this area. | 2019-04-24T04:17:18Z | http://www.tainmuseum.org.uk/imagelibrary/picture/number89.asp |

That weekend was a whirlwind.
The group visited the Statue of Liberty, Ground Zero and St. John's Cathedral.
They walked through Central Park and bargained with street vendors in Chinatown.
They took a tour of Radio City Music Hall and got to meet a Rockette.
And while many of the students toured the Guggenheim Museum and the Whitney Museum of American Art, the dance students took a class with Karen Arceneaux, a dance teacher at the world-renowned Alvin Ailey Dance Theater.
They also did a workshop with "West Side Story" stars Mikey Winslow, who plays the character Big Deal in the musical, and Mike Cannon, who plays Snowboy.
Then the whole group went to see "West Side Story" on Broadway that night.
"It was really neat to meet the guys they would see a few hours later on stage," said Neal.
One night, student Cole Webber got to go on stage and perform with the band Blue Man Group.
"It was an off-off Broadway theater, a small venue, and as we were walking in, they took Cole aside," said Neal. "They set it all up and gave him directions, and they made it look like it was spontaneous."
They put Webber in a white jumpsuit, took him backstage and did a special effect that made it look like he was being held up by his feet and splattered with paint.
Neal, a self-dubbed small-town girl from Virginia, got a performing arts degree and ended up spending some time in the New York dance scene. She planned for the trip to be fun and educational, in more than just a teaching-from-a-book way.
"My ultimate goal was to expose the kids to an arts scene that's larger than what they know," said Neal. "A lot of them are from Charlotte and have never been to a city larger than Charlotte. What they've seen is what they think (the world) is. This trip opened their eyes to the arts." | 2019-04-21T18:55:55Z | https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/community/south-charlotte/article9048047.html |

Have you ever had those frozen Bird’s Eye green beans that some with almond slivers on top? Oh man! They are so good. I hate to admit it, but they are.
My fiancé is a fool for those things, and though I think they are delightful, I prefer to make and eat them fresh. So here you go folks, bright green beans with butter, toasted almonds and a little spice!
Wash the green beans and snap off any of those pesky stems you find.
Heat the butter and oil in a frying pan on medium high heat.
We could stop right there because butter and olive oil are enough for me. But why not push through? The green beans are so worth it.
When the butter has melted, add in the green beans.
Toss the beans in the butter and oil mixture and let them get nice and brown along the edges. The butter should turn a deep golden brown and the liquids in the pan will pucker and sizzle. Cook just a few minutes.
While the green beans are cooking, toast the almonds in a separate pan on low heat for about 2 minutes.
Then, add the almonds to the green beans and toss to combine.
Season with salt and a few good shakes of the red pepper flakes.
*And a HUGE thank you to the Pioneer Woman for featuring my grilled cheese sandwich! So exciting! Love you Ree! Click here to see the post.
Hehe, glad I’m not the only one who has eaten those Birds Eye frozen veggies. The ones with the almonds are my favorite.
This recipe seems so easy to make. I could definitely see myself making these very soon!
Those frozen veggies are irresistable! Hope you like the recipe.
i’ve always loved the almond/green bean combo but i’ve never tried it with the red pepper! must try!
You must! Hope you like it!
Ooh Jen! This sounds so good. I’m always looking for ways to make green beans more snazzy and delicious!
OMG. That sounds like a novel idea, and something I think my mom would probably do! I’ll give it a try and let you know how it turns out!
My grandmother makes this all the time. It’s one of my favourite dishes!
That’s so sweet! My Grandma used to make me the best white rice with onions and mushrooms. Love simple family dishes.
I love green beans with almonds! They’re also good if you add in a dash or two of low-sodium soy sauce to this recipe!
This is a popular Italian side dish in my family, but your’s is a healthier version. My family likes to drench everything in olive oil, literally you could swim in it.
Oooh, I’d love to know your family’s recipe!
I don’t do beans – I know, it’s a tragedy. But I would make spicy almond something! Maybe…chicken?
No problem! I totally get it. There are a few veggies that I’m not so fond of either. Try subbing in broccoli or asparagus for the beans and see if that grabs you!
I am desperately in need of good veggie dishes, so thank you! This one looks good. I usually just steam veggies and serve them plain (or maybe with a little butter and salt). My husband and kids are not very impressed.
LOL! You are a hoot! I love steamed veggies, but give this a try and see if it wins their favor. | 2019-04-22T19:07:28Z | http://www.keepitsimplefoods.com/vegetarian/spicy-almond-green-beans/ |
HANOI (Reuters) - Police in Vietnam arrested a former deputy labour minister on Friday on allegations of economic mismanagement, as the communist-led government presses on with a crackdown on corruption.
Le Bach Hong, a former deputy minister of labour, invalids and social affairs, and former head of Vietnam Social Security, was accused of "deliberate violations of state economic management regulations, causing serious consequences", the Ministry of Public Security said in a statement.
Hong's arrest is part an effort to widen investigations into wrongdoing at Vietnam Social Security, which runs social insurance operations, and at a bankrupt state-owned finance leasing firm, said the ministry, which is in charge of the police. | 2019-04-20T06:13:24Z | https://www.euronews.com/2018/11/09/vietnam-arrests-former-deputy-minister-as-part-of-graft-crackdown |
Sometimes I like to put a decoration on my zipper pull. When I was making zip pouches regularly for sale at craft markets, I rarely put any decorations on zipper pulls. This was because it's hard to predict what turns people off. I still remember my early days of selling at craft market. One lady asked me to cut off the zipper pull decoration because SHE HATED IT. Well, since she paid for it, she's entitled to do whatever she wants. (But couldn't she quietly cut it off herself at home?) There were other occasions when customers would say things like, "oh, I would buy the zip pouch except for the THING on the zipper." At this point of the story, you probably think I must be pretty bad at zipper pull decorations and should stop making them. Well, I actually never thought that at all. But it did occur to me that I did not have a clue what kind of zipper pull decorations people like. And that's why I stopped putting decorations on zipper pulls of items I make for sale.
And I still don't have a clue. But if the item is for myself, then of course I get the privilege of deciding what kind of decoration goes with my zip pouch. I think that's the best benefit of being a MAKER.
For this simple blue and white polka dot zipper pouch, I added an orange tassel for a pop of colour.
Here's how you make a tassel for a zipper pull.
Step 1: To get a tassel around 2.25" long, cut a piece of stock card 2.5" tall.
Step 2: Wind your tassel thread round the stock card. Count each round as going from the top round the back, up the front to the top again. For my tassel, I made 20 rounds. You can make more rounds if you like.
Step 3: Cut the threads at the bottom of the stock card.
Step 4: Carefully place thread through split ring/jump ring.
Step 5: We want the ring to sit right in the middle.
Step 6: You need around 18" of thread for securing the tassel. Here I'm showing how to place the tail and the loop because this is going to help hide your threads later on. The working thread is the part of the thread you use to wind round the tassel.
Step 7: Now you need to wind the working thread over the loop and tassel. You need to keep the tail and loop out of the way. Try not to wind the thread over the same position over and over or you will get a bulky mess.
Step 8: When you're satisfied with how the tassel looks, put your working thread through the loop.
Step 9: Pull on the tail and it will bury the loop inside the thread. I would also pull on the tail and working thread at the same time just to make sure everything is secure. Snip off the tail and working thread as close to the binding as possible. Trim the ends of tassel until you are happy with it.
And you have a zipper pull decoration. What do you think? Is this something you will make for your zippers?
I like attaching small charms or key chains to my zipper pull (for pouches/pencil case), cause it is it easier to pull the zippers that way. And thanks for teaching us how to make a tassel!
^^^ Yes - exactly what Christel said!
I love adding charms to zippies - as Christel says, it makes them easier to open, but I think it also gives them a more finished look :) Kinda dickish of that lady to ask you to remove a zipper pull for that reason though - what a diva, LOL!
Christel, I will do a post on charms for zipper pull next!
I like your zipper pulls! I'm going to bookmark this and try it on my next pouch.
I have seen these popping up now!!! This is awesome bc I want to make some!!! thanks for the tutorial!
Perhaps you could create a basket full of zipper charms and mention that customers are free to choose their own charm/tassel with each purchase of a zip pouch. Most people like getting something for free and they go away feeling like they've gotten an extra bonus with their purchase. Win-win for you and them. BTW... I love your orange tassel and that black polka dot bag. | 2019-04-22T09:59:13Z | https://projectsbyjane.blogspot.com/2015/03/diy-zipper-pull-decoration-1.html |

Green smoothies are everywhere these days. Health nuts love them, moms hide vegetables in them and folks who hate salad have found their way. Even my roommate who ‘hates’ vegetables now makes them daily. He just calls them his morning milkshake.
Nutritionally speaking, it’s unwise to assume a store bought smoothie is up to par with your home made version. The most popular ones out there (yes, even the green colored ones) pack a serious punch of sugar, often more than a can of Coke. What makes a green smoothie nutritious is up to you- so here are some tips below to help you create your ultimate smoothie.
Use whole fruits (not fruit juice or puree) to add that sweet punch. Fruit juice and puree may still retain vitamins and minerals, but they are extremely high in sugar.
I’m a firm believer you can add vegetables to all smoothies. Just know this – the higher proportion of veggies to fruit = lower sugar smoothie. Great for the waistline.
Best veggie options? Leafy greens. Kale, swiss chard, spinach, etc…they’re all jam packed with vitamins and minerals that will serve you in more ways than I can list here and have tons of fiber which will keep things ‘moving.’ We should be eating them daily, ideally multiple times per day.
Some veggies add their own natural sugars and add fantastic flavors: cooked beets, raw carrots, roasted sweet potato.
Follow this genius move so you can still make your smoothie when you’re low on fresh greens.
When using fresh greens – pop in the blender along with your liquid (water, coconut water, nut milk, raw milk, plain yogurt, etc.) before everything else to really pulverize all bits and pieces.
Do yourself a favor and prep. Clean the veggies and store in plastic bags in the fridge at the beginning of the week. This makes the process a breeze.
Get creative with flavors and ingredients. I love mint & practically everything. Cocoa & beets. Basil & berries. Ginger & sweet potato…just envision in your head what tastes delicious baked, and then experiment with your smoothie.
Finally, add some nutrition power-houses which add serious bang for their buck. Think flax seed, chia seed (3 times more calcium than milk!), coconut oil, goji berries, raw seeds & nuts (and seed/nut butters!), raw cocoa and spices. Add a good quality protein powder and make this a meal that will keep you energized and happy for hours.
You mention using protein powder. Do you have a brand that you recommend? | 2019-04-21T02:38:37Z | http://www.prescribe-nutrition.com/the-art-of-green-smoothie/ |

A 3 page essay that discusses the nature of sin in Hawthorne's most famous work. Hester's punishment for adultery--the wearing of the scarlet letter that symbolizes her ostracism from Puritan society--constitutes a principle feature of the narrative. However, beyond this surface meaning of sin equaling adultery, there is a deeper interpretation that indicates Hawthorne's perspective on the nature of sin, which shows that the greatest sin portrayed in the novel is one of a guilty heart, of not accepting responsibility for one's misdeeds. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

“My Love From Another Star” Initial Review: A Story of Love, Aliens, Immortality and Watching a lot of Vampire U.S. Shows.
Hello. This is a Korean in America. We have been seeing K-dramas that are trying some new gimmicks to differentiate themselves from series that came before. And, usually they are just window dressing to spice up the basic K-drama format that we have seen tons of times before.
Does “My Love From Another Star” which uses an “Alien” gimmick not very common in K-dramas break this practice?
Like many of my colleges that talk about shows on the internet, I have seen a lot of shows during my life. This includes both U.S. and Korean Shows. As a Hollywood kid living in Korea during the end of U.S. syndicated shows dominance of the Korean air waves, I actually have seen more U.S. Shows than Korean shows. However, that is another story for another article.
In any case, when you see a lot of stuff, you notice how the writers of these shows get their ideas or “borrow” them from other shows that came before their time. On one end of the spectrum, you see odd or obscure references here and there. On the other end, you see structural or thematic elements lifted from other shows and incorporated into a new show.
In regard to this subject, Korean dramas are pretty interesting because of their homogeneity. I have mentioned in some previous articles such as the Kdrama 101 series, the Korean dramas are basically one single genre with multiple subgenres. As a result, Korean dramas have a very narrow set of story structures they utilize. More important to this article and “My Love From Another Star” is that Korean dramas are only interested in a few themes which include revenge, love, family, and etc.
Because of this homogeneity, two things happen whenever a K-drama is trying to insert something out of its wheel barrel. First, it is very evident. Second, it never fully commits to this new thing. Rather, it is pasted on using duct tape.
These two cover the case of “My Love From Another Star”.
Before anything, we have to talk about Jun Ji Hyun.
She is terrible in the first episode of this series.
I have seen Jun Ji Hyun since she got her big shot in a printer commercial dancing on TV.
She was instant smash hit and has been a mainstay in the Korean commercials for more than a decade. And this reveals what she is.
She is a professional commercial model!
She is not a professional actress.
I am saying this as someone who watched her on TV for a long time and even saw 3~4 of her movies. Jun Ji Hyun has never been a professional actress. She has never displayed a talent in acting or an effort to learn how to act.
Rather she treats acting as if it was the same as posing in commercials. With Jun Ji Hyun, she has gotten away with this by some degree because of her commercial know-how and the skill of the directors.
Just look at her movies!
You can just see how the directors use her and how they cut around her to limited the amount of actual acting required by her. In contrast, Jun Ji Hyun has not been able to really get into K-dramas because they do not have the time or patience to cuddle her.
So, when you try “My Love From Another Star”, you have to take into account that Jun Ji Hyun will be the weakest link acting-wise.
A good thing is that going into the second episode, the creative team seems to be getting a better handle on what her limits are. As a result, it is less jarring in how bad her acting is.
Aliens didn't come down to Earth and give us technology. We invented it ourselves. Therefore it can never be alienating; it can only be an expression of our humanity.
The plot is centered around a terribly mismatched couple who do not really have a hope in getting together. Not only is the female a so called “Top actress”, the guy is an “Alien”.
Yes, that is an alien with a capital “A”.
The “Alien”, who looks just like a Korean male for some reason and is wearing 21th century cloths when he first arrived on earth for some also unknown reason, has been around for more than 400 years. So, since he is male, we get two unnecessary shower scenes in the first two episodes alone. Also, since there is a fate element to the story, not only do we get flash back scenes set about 15 years before the present using a younger actress, we also get flash back scenes set during the Joseon period using the same actress.
What is this show? Is this a Sci-fi show!
Since there is an “Alien” in the show, you may think that it may be a science fiction show which is not really common in K-dramas.
Do not get worked up!
However, it is not really a Sci Fi show. The show seems to skew too much towards the off beat fantasy prevalent in K-dramas recently. To understand what this show is, we have to look at how the "Alien" is portrayed.
He is just this being with some not well defined powers that is basically human but thinks that he is different.
He is this somewhat alienated being that starts to form human contact by meeting this female.
“My Love from the stars" has more in common with "Twilight" than anything science fiction.
The interesting factor of “My Love from the stars" is not that it is a fantasy with some Sci Fi coating. It is that it is similar to the modern vampire genre coming out of the U.S.
Aliens, Vampires, and Immortality. Is the writer a U.S. Drama fan?
While seeing the show, I got a feeling of Déjà vu. It was like seeing elements of various U.S. shows pasted on to a basic K-Drama skeleton. The fact that the basic K-drama format was strongly intact made the foreign element more pronounced.
While the most of the characters are basically K-drama archetypes, the main relationship dynamic between the spoiled but lonely actress, who cannot act, and the alien is similar to that of the a canceled U.S. vampire show called "Moonlight". In that show, the main couple was formed by a mortal female and an immortal vampire.
The vampire had saved the female when she was young and she had essentially imprinted on him. The two were then separated until the female was in her 30s when she had become an Internet journalist. Once the two reunite, it is clear that they are tied together with this unbreakable bond. You could even say it was fate.
You see the similarities between the two shows!
Even both of the shows have this odd interview style narrative in its pilots. While both of them seems to take it from the movie and book "Interview of a vampire", in the case of “My Love from the stars", it is just weird.
“My Love from the stars" is not exactly a copy of “Moonlight”. For example, the characters are not really the same. The female character is just a common K-drama archetype. The male lead is rather more interesting. He seems out of place with K-drama archetypes.
He is distant and brooding.
At the same time, I cannot say that the male lead of “Moonlight” and the male lead of “My Love from the stars" are a match. The male lead of “My Love from the stars “feels like an amalgamation of various immortal characters including “Henry” from a vampire TV series called “Blood Ties”, and Death from the movie “Meet Joe Black”. Toss in some “Dorian Grey” and you get the male lead of “My Love from the stars".
Rather than being a knockoff, “My Love from the stars” is in the realm of being inspired by “Moonlight”. Not only is “My Love from the stars" inspired by one show, it seems to be inspired by modern immoral fiction which include vampire stories. This is where we get into some very interesting points. “My Love from the stars” actually tries to graph the theme of “immortality” on to a Korean drama which is very unique.
An Immortal walking the streets of a K-drama… Will this be accept it or reject it?
Because of its homogeneity, Korean drama and its audience have a very narrow scope of themes they are interested in. This includes family, wealth, revenge, and love. The theme of immortality is not something that interest mainstream Korean literature.
What is immortality literature about really?
It is the examination of one’s mortality and legacy. And Korean mainstream audiences have no taste for these themes. It even does not really cover the theme of “middle age crisis” which has become a common theme running throughout western literature.
In Korean society, one’s mortality and legacy are tied closely to external social structures. At the wider end, society determines the value of one’s life. At the narrow end, family plays the same role. This is a partial reason for all the plots involving parental control over one’s children. This also true for the plots regarding the CEO of a conglomerate focusing on the organization itself as if that was the important thing and not the stuff that the organization can do for him.
It is not just greed or power! It is the value and legacy of one’s life we are talking about.
It is just that this is not determined by the individual but the smaller and larger societies.
Immortality literature, which includes vampires, focuses on this problem also but on an individualist level.
You are an immortal walking around and you see all the people you know die before you.
It is the ultimate form of trying to find the value of one’s life isolated from one’s surroundings. For Koreans, this is a difficult concept to swallow or understand since we have been indoctrinated to evaluate ourselves using others’ opinions and not the opinions of ourselves.
So, the fact that “My Love from the stars" is, at least, trying to incorporate themes that are as alien to Koreans as actual aliens is interesting. I think that this does make “My Love from the stars" special by this alone. If the show can keep this up using her star power, I can endure Jun Ji Hyun’s poor acting.
I give “My Love from the stars" a recommendation to watch at least for 4 episodes.
Score: a cautious B+ for the first 2 episodes. | 2019-04-23T09:03:50Z | http://www.akiatalking.com/2013/12/hello_25.html |
I had to read this book in high school for extra credit to make up for skipping so much class. Started reading around 8p one night and stayed up all night to finish. It's not a fast, fluid read. It just kind of creeps up on you without your realizing. It's slow and paced but so rich in detail (without being laborious) and thick in plot that it's impossible to put down. Ten years later I've probably read it at least 5 times over and I never start reading it unless I know I can afford to finish it as well. It's just one of those great books. Because of this book, I've read all of Dickens' works. This is still by far my favorite.
So glad I read this !
I began reading this book over 30 years ago when I was in college. Back then, I stopped reading after the first couple of chapters because I thought it was too boring. But now, I decided to read the whole book if it killed me. Man, am I glad I did !!! It does in fact start out rather slowly, but don't give up ... Charles Dickens is just building a foundation for the story & developing the characters. By the end of the book, you feel as if you personally know these people. And you have a vested interest in their well-being. This book is a MUST read.
A side benefit is that you will understand the forces behind, and the reason for, the French Revolution. There are implications for today. If the poor in society are oppressed beyond all hope, and are mistreated by the "haves", there could be dire circumstances for all of society.
A suspense full story that urges the reader to read on into their wildest dreams. Amazing author, incredible description words, a real cliff hanger. It makes you cry, shout, jump up and down. | 2019-04-24T05:01:24Z | https://books.apple.com/us/book/a-tale-of-two-cities/id411519197?mt=11&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 |

Bloomberg’s short article/interview entitled “A Folding Bike Helmet That Looks Good and Still Shields Your Brain” shows inventors can still find room to innovate, even in a mature product market. Spanish inventor, Carlos Ferrando, created a bike helmet that has two unique features – it collapses/folds to reduce space when not in use, and it is designed to be more aesthetically appealing than the traditional bike helmet. Ferrando said he wants his helmet to “normalize the idea of wearing one (bike helmet) as a fashion accessory”.
Ask your students who they think the target market for this product would be. If they say “bicycle riders” push them to go deeper. It’s true that anyone who rides a bicycle could benefit from this product but a mass market strategy is unlikely to be as successful for a product like this. A seg mented strategy has a better chance of success. In chapter 4 we offer a possible market segmentation for the bicycle-riders product-market. If students believe this product could effectively serve multiple segments you might want to break them into groups and have each group focus on a particular segment. Ask each group to develop a promotional strategy for their target market. After a few minutes have each group share their strategy and discuss the differences. If the students did a good job there should be distinct strategies for each market. If the strategies are generally similar then they’ve taken a “Combiner” approach which doesn’t really cater to the unique attributes of each segment. Either way, you have a good discussion!
Most industries report a decline in the effectiveness of advertising as a means to tell customers about their product. As we note in chapter 16, customers tend to place more faith in what real people say about goods and services they might buy. Apps, including the online review site Yelp and social media site Instagram, offer customers an easy and fast way to hear about other customers’ experiences.
Restaurants have long benefited from word-of-mouth (telling a friend about that “great meal you had at the new bistro”). Today, some restaurants are looking for ways to be more “Instagrammable.” Read more at this trend in “Instagram is pushing restaurants to be kitschy, colorful, and irresistible to photographers,” The Verge, July 20, 2017.
This article could be discussed at many different points in the semester. It offers an interesting example of customer value (chapters 1, 8 and 17); for some target customers, improving the “shareability” of an experience enhances the experience. For many young people, sharing the experience is part of the experience. It also suggests how consumer behavior (chapter 5) with social media (chapter 16) can impact new product development (chapter 9). After sharing this example in class, students could be asked: why are these businesses doing this? They are likely to immediately get that it fosters word-of-mouth, but may not readily connect with other benefits. | 2019-04-20T06:35:28Z | https://teachthe4ps.com/category/product/ |
We've partnered with Paramount Financial to help you with financing your equipment needs. Learn more about their financing options here and preview your tax deductions below.
Deduct the full purchase or lease price of your equipment up to $500,000 through the Section 179 Deduction in 2016.
All businesses that purchase, finance, and/or lease less than $2,000,000 in new or used business equipment during tax year 2016 should qualify for the Section 179 Deduction. For most small businesses, the entire cost can be written-off on the 2016 tax return (up to $500,000).
Section 179 does come with limits - there are caps to the total amount written off ($500,000 for 2016), and limits to the total amount of the equipment purchased ($2,000,000 in 2016). The deduction begins to phase out dollar-for-dollar after $2,000,000 is spent by a given business, so this makes it a true small and medium-sized business deduction. Section 179 for 2016 expires midnight, 12/31/2016. If you wish to deduct the full price of your equipment from your 2016 taxes and take advantage of the new higher deduction limits, it must be purchased and put into service by then. | 2019-04-22T17:29:34Z | http://www.aripack.com/financing |

Airbnb is taking its home-share business model to a new level with Open Homes, a way for volunteers to accommodate refugees for free. Those who volunteer for Open Homes are helping individuals and families settle in to a new life after displacement.
Airbnb works with agencies that specialize in finding temporary housing for those in need. To ensure the quality of these extended stays, agencies will reach out to hosts to clear the length of the stay and to make sure it’s a good match between host and boarder.
Not only is this an incredibly charitable initiative, it’s also keeping home-share platforms relevant with a new generation of homebuyers. With younger generations becoming increasingly politically conscious and involved, this initiative is keeping Airbnb in their minds as a relevant and globally engaged company. The home-share brand’s initiative is aligned with a new customer-brand journey, which PSFK explored in our latest deep-dive report, the CX Playbook, one where customers’ lives and goals are authentically empowered and bolstered by their favorite brands.
Open Homes was the idea of Airbnb hosts, as they wanted to be of help during times of need. Inclusivity and creating a sense of belonging is one of Airbnb’s fundamental values, and offering free lodging all over the globe broadcasts these beliefs loud and clear. | 2019-04-21T02:35:21Z | https://www.psfk.com/2018/06/airbnb-open-homes-refug.html |

With the holidays around the corner family gatherings encompassing food is always the focus. We make time to sit and enjoy the tradition of eating together, but why is that not always the norm the rest of the year? Life becomes busy, after school activities or work commitments may get you home late, and dinner together becomes deserted.
Family meal time is a wonderful opportunity to share experiences with each other. Children learn a great deal of eating habits, family attitudes and values when you sit down as a family. Meal time is important family time that will help your child in so many ways. Keep it simple and enjoy each other…that is what it is all about!
Surveys show families believe it’s very important to eat together, but between juggling work schedules, kids’ activities and the like, getting a nutritious meal on the table – and getting everyone at the table to eat it – isn’t easy. Here are some tips for serving a quick and nutritious dinner on the run and ways to make the family meal more enjoyable.
Plan your meals ahead of time. Making a weekly meal plan and keeping your pantry and freezer stocked up can save a lot of time.

Orientation and Mobility (O&M) includes the skills needed to orient to surroundings and to move independently and safely in the environment. To learn and master these skills, a blind or visually impaired child commonly works with an O&M specialist from infancy through late adolescence. He may choose to occasionally work with an O&M specialist again as an adult to learn routes around a college campus, unfamiliar town, or new job.
For blind babies and toddlers, O&M entails encouraging movement and developing foundational concepts and skills which we’ll call “the building blocks” of O&M.
How Do O&M Specialists Approach Instruction?
O&M specialists talk with the family about the typical sequence of O&M skills and the family’s vital role in the blind child’s skill development.
The family and O&M specialist then work with the child informally through play to 1) encourage purposeful movement, developing the child’s gross and fine motor skills; 2) recognize what he is seeing, hearing, smelling, and touching; 3) learn body parts and how they move; and 4) learn concepts about the child’s surroundings, beginning with his immediate environment.
If the child has low or high muscle tone or any additional disability that may hinder movement, the mobility team will include a physical and/or occupational therapist or another additional service provider. Encouraging movement, including the motivation to move, is a team effort.
As the young toddler begins moving independently, the O&M specialist will teach the child beginning techniques to move safely, including use of a sighted guide, use of an early mobility device such as a push toy or small cane, and to use protective techniques such as holding a hand in front of the face when walking independently.
When traveling outdoors, the team will ensure the child’s vision isn’t hindered by direct or indirect sunlight. The child will wear a brimmed hat and a good pair of sunglasses.
How Can You Support O&M Instruction at Home?
Early movement begins with muscle development and coordination. As you hold your baby, he will learn to hold his head upright, improve balance, coordinate movement, and feel how your body naturally sways, shifts, and purposefully moves. Likewise, when you place him down for tummy time, you are promoting muscle development and coordination.
Your child needs motivation to move! Invite your child to explore interesting activities and environments, place appealing (visually and/or auditory) objects just out of reach, and get down on the floor with your child as you ask him to move toward you.
Your child will need to understand body concepts in order to safely and efficiently negotiate his environment. Teaching body concepts involves demonstrating how a body moves through space (this is accomplished by holding your baby or young child on your hip, inviting your toddler to stand on your feet while you walk, etc.), teaching body parts through play and song, and helping your child understand how his body moves. Help your child explore movements and teach the vocabulary involved in activities such as pushing a button, rotating the wrist, reaching over the head, ducking down low, crawling, lunging, pulling up, walking, etc.
Your child will benefit from heightened sensory awareness because traveling with minimal sight involves listening for patterns of traffic and paying close attention to sights, textures, and smells. You can help your child develop sensory awareness by involving your child in countless opportunities to explore and describing what your child is seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling. You can learn more by reading, Living Life While Helping Your Child Develop.
The better understanding your child has of location and travel concepts, the better equipped he will be to traverse his environment. Give him ample opportunities to explore his surroundings: hallways, walls, doors, doorknobs, pantries, closets, elevators, cars, homes, buses, etc. You can learn more by reading, Building Knowledge in Blind Infants and Toddlers.
Your child will need to follow directions when traveling. Beginning with a familiar routine, ask your child to perform a task (such as, “hold the toothbrush”) and praise him when he follows the direction.

A NEW exhibition that explores notions of identity and belonging in Australian contemporary culture is open at John Curtin Gallery in Bentley.
“Post-hybrid: reimagining the Australian self” features work by WA artists Abdul-Rahman Abdullah, Hans Arkeveld, Galliano Fardin, Laurel Nannup and Christopher Pease.
Works by Australian artists Abdul Abdullah, Dadang Christanto, Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Brenda Croft, Elizabeth Gertsakis, Danie Mellor, Ryan Presley and Darren Siwes also feature in the exhibition.
Photo, sculptural works, paintings and prints illustrate how colonisation, Aboriginal culture and migration contributed to Australia’s identity.
The impact of white settlement on indigenous culture, as well as personal and public stories about the forced removal of Aboriginal children from their families, is expressed in the works. The politicisation of asylum seekers, 9/11 and how different cultures have come together to form something new is also evident.
“Post-hybrid: reimagining the Australian self” is running in conjunction with an exhibition by multi-disciplinary artist Thea Costantino.
The exhibition runs until September 6. | 2019-04-19T22:23:21Z | https://www.communitynews.com.au/canning-times/lifestyle/the-notion-of-a-nation/ |
As the director of the Johnson Space Center (JSC) in the 1990s, George Abbey was in charge of 18,000 civil servants and contractors.
A new biography of Abbey, the senior fellow in space policy at Rice’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, details not only this time at the height of his profession, but how he rose through the ranks over an almost 40-year career at NASA.
Abbey joined the agency in 1964 as an Air Force captain assigned to the Apollo program and transitioned to management. He served as the director of JSC flight operations for the early space shuttle missions and eventually became the center’s director.
“I didn’t have a job I didn’t enjoy,” Abbey said recently.
“The Astronaut Maker: How One Mysterious Engineer Ran Human Spaceflight for a Generation” was written over several years by Michael Cassutt in cooperation with Abbey. Cassutt is a TV screenwriter and producer who has written extensively about the space program, both fiction and nonfiction, including co-authoring the autobiographies of astronauts Thomas Stafford and Deke Slayton.
The 480-page book, published by Chicago Review Press in August, is also an expansive history of the American space program that highlights Abbey’s essential contributions to the lunar missions and the space shuttle. In chronological fashion, Cassutt takes the reader from Sputnik to the present and discusses the grand achievements (the 1969 moon landing), tragic failures (Challenger, 1986; Columbia, 2003) and human moments.
Abbey oversaw the selection of every astronaut class from 1978 to 1987, deciding who got to fly and when. He was with the Apollo 1 astronauts the night before they died in a launchpad fire in January 1967 and was in mission control the night of the Apollo 13 accident. He also played a major role in the development of the International Space Station and establishing the United States’ partnership with Russia.
It was, as Cassutt’s book shows, an awesome journey for the man born in Seattle in 1932 to parents who had emigrated from the United Kingdom.
Abbey is quick to share credit.
“Surround yourself with good people,” he said. “You’re not going to get the job done by yourself. I was very fortunate, I worked with a lot of good people. That made the job much easier.
Connecting the JSC to its surrounding communities was a priority for Abbey.
Among Abbey’s most visible legacies at the center is the Longhorn Project, 60 acres of JSC land where several dozen longhorns roam as part of an agricultural educational program with Clear Creak Independent School District.
At the Baker Institute, which Abbey first joined as a senior visiting fellow in 2001, he oversees hosting of the annual International Space Medicine Summit. The event organized with Baylor College of Medicine and Texas A&M University gathers leading physicians, space biomedical scientists, engineers, astronauts and cosmonauts from space-faring nations for discussions concerning the research needed to address the medical and biomedical challenges spacefarers experience on long-duration spaceflight.
Together with Baker Institute colleague Jason Lyons, Abbey also oversees the institute’s Moscow Summer Intern Program, which sends students from Rice and other U.S. universities to the Youth Space Center at Bauman Moscow State Technical University every summer.
Abbey is a close observer of space policy developments, such as President Donald Trump’s December 2017 directive to send U.S. astronauts back to the moon as a foundation for future Mars missions.
“If we’re going to continue the human exploration of space, it should be done with international cooperation,” Abbey said. “As we look to the future and going back to the moon, which I think is a very good objective, and certainly important to do before you start talking about going anywhere else, we should do it with international cooperation. We should bring in as partners other countries that would like to participate in the program, just as we are working with our international partners to operate the space station.
Abbey’s advice for aspiring astronauts today has not changed significantly since NASA’s early days.
“First of all, you’ve got to get the right educational background,” he said. “Get a degree in science or engineering and then also try to find a position where you can get the kind of experience that would correlate with the kind of work you would do as an astronaut.

In this situation the authority said it intended to use the power that would be granted to it in the currently draft legislation published by the Treasury to ensure that firms and other entities did not "generally" need to prepare now to meet changes to their obligations connected to Brexit.
The temporary transitional power would give the FCA the ability to delay or to phase in changes to regulatory requirements for a period of two years from exit day, currently scheduled for 29 March 2019.
Despite this, the FCA said there were a number of areas where firms did need to begin preparations for the UK's withdrawal from the EU, as it would not be consistent with its statutory objectives to grant transitional relief.
These areas include changes to the UK’s transaction reporting regime under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II). This also affects European Economic Area (EEA) firms which operate in the UK through the temporary permissions regime which would take effect if the UK leaves the EU without an implementation period in place and the passporting regime ceases.
Also from exit day, all firms and central counterparties who enter into derivatives transactions that fall within the scope of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) will have to report into a UK-registered trade repository.
EEA entities that have securities admitted to trading or traded on UK markets will be required to submit information to the FCA and disclose certain information to the market, from the day of the UK's withdrawal from the EU.
Any firm which wants to carry on using the exemption for market-making activities under the EU's Short Selling Regulation is to be required to join a UK trading venue and notify the FCA of its intention to use the market maker exemption 30 days ahead of their intended use.
Users of credit ratings must also prepare ahead of exit day, as from that time all ratings will need to be issued or endorsed by a credit ratings agency established in the UK and registered with the FCA for them to be eligible for regulatory use. However ratings issued or endorsed in the EU before exit by an agency with an affiliate registered or currently applying for registration with the FCA may be used for regulatory purposes in the UK for up to one year after exit.
Finally, UK originators or sponsors will have to send notifications to the FCA from exit day for any UK securitisations which they wish to be considered simple, transparent, and standardised under the Securitisation Regulation. According to the regulator, UK originators, sponsors or securitisation special purpose entities which use a third-party verifier (TPV) to assess compliance with the criteria will only be able to use a TPV established in the UK and authorised by the FCA.
The FCA said it expected firms and other regulated entities to undertake "reasonable steps" to comply with changes by exit day.
"We are conscious of the scale, complexity, and magnitude of some of these changes and consequently intend to act proportionately," the regulatory statement said.
"This means that, in the event that the UK leaves the EU without an implementation period, we will not take a strict liability approach and do not intend to take enforcement action against firms and other regulated entities for not meeting all requirements straight away, where there is evidence they have taken reasonable steps to prepare to meet the new obligations by exit day," the FCA said.
FCA executive director of international Nausicaa Delfas said: "The temporary transitional power is an important part of our contingency planning. In the event that the UK leaves the EU without an agreement, it gives us the flexibility to allow firms and other regulated persons to phase in the regulatory changes that would need to be made as a result of 'onshored' EU legislation. This will give firms certainty, ensure continuity, and reduce the risk of disruption.
"There are some areas such as reporting rules under MiFID II, where it would not be appropriate to provide a phase-in, as receiving these reports is crucial to our ability to ensure market oversight and the integrity of financial markets. In these areas only, we expect firms and other regulated persons to begin preparing to comply with the changes now," Delfas said. | 2019-04-19T20:26:46Z | https://www.out-law.com/en/articles/2019/february/fca-sets-out-expectations-for-firms-ahead-of-brexit/ |

By Parker, Beth A.; Thompson, Paul D.; Jordan, Kathryn C.; Grimaldi, Adam S.; Assaf, Michal; Jagannathan, Kanchana; Pearlson, Godfrey D.
The hippocampus is the primary site of memory and learning in the brain. Both normal aging and various disease pathologies (e.g., alcoholism, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder) are associated with lower hippocampal volumes in humans (Agartz, Momenan, Rawlings, Kerich, & Hommer, 1999; Barta, Dhingra, Royall, & Schwartz, 1997;Jemigan et al., 2001; McKinnon, Yucel, Nazarov, & MacQueen, 2009; Meisenzahl et al., 2009), and hippocampal atrophy predicts progression of Alzheimers disease (Henneman et al., 2009). In animals, there is convincing evidence that exercise training increases hippocampal volume (Van der Borght, Havekes, Bos, Eggen, & Van der Zee, 2007; van Praag, Shubert, Zhao, & Gage, 2005;). A recent cross-sectional study in older humans demonstrated a positive relation between aerobic fitness and hippocampal volume (Erickson et al., 2009). Moreover, a recent study found that a year of aerobic exercise training increases hippocampal volume by 2% in older adults (Erickson et al., 2011). Accordingly, in the current preliminary study we sought to confirm the direct effect of supervised exercise training on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) estimates of hippocampal volume in healthy humans.
Thirteen men (n = 8) and women (n = 5) completed this study, which was approved by the hospital's Institutional Review Board. Participants gave informed consent, and the study was conducted in agreement with guidelines set forth by the Declaration of Helsinki. Participants were healthy, nonsmoking adults (Mage = 34 years, SD = 9; age range = 23-45 years) who seldom exercised and had no reported chronic diseases, as assessed by medical history, physical exam, and symptom-limited, physician-supervised exercise stress test (Bruce treadmill test; American College of Sports Medicine, 2006). Baseline intellectual quotient (IQ) estimate (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale block design and vocabulary; Wechsler, 1997), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, & Erbaugh, 1961) and Mini-Mental-State Exam (MMSE; Folstein, Folstein, & McHugh, 1975) were normal (all participants had scores of IQ> 80, BDI < 10, and MMSE > 24). Participants were not taking medications known to affect cardiovascular, cognitive, or brain function, such as those for depression, hypertension, hormone therapy, hypercholesterolemia, or anxiety, and dietary supplements, such as phosphatidylserine or ginkgo biloba (Kennedy, Haskell, Mauri, & Scholey, 2007).
An exercise trainer supervised participants' exercise 3 days/week for 10 weeks. Exercise consisted of walking or running on a treadmill. The duration of each exercise session was progressively increased from 15 to 45 min during the first 5 weeks. Participants exercised at between 60-85% of their predetermined maximal heart rate to regulate exercise intensity. Once participants were able to perform 45 min of aerobic exercise (not including warm up and cool down), they continued this level of exercise 3 days/week for the remaining 5 weeks. Prior to and following exercise training, participants performed a graded exercise test to maximal exertion using the modified Balke protocol (American College of Sports Medicine, 2006). Expired gases were analyzed with a Parvomedics TrueOne 2400 metabolic cart (ParvoMedics Corp., Sandy, UT) to assess maximal oxygen uptake (V[O.sub.2]max). Prior to each exercise test, anthropometric measures (height and weight), resting blood pressure, and resting heart rate were recorded. Twelve participants were also administered a test of psychological well being (Psychological General Well-Being Index; Dupuy, 1984). | 2019-04-26T00:36:20Z | https://www.questia.com/library/journal/1G1-268788510/effect-of-exercise-training-on-hippocampal-volume |

Ewing is the beneficiary of a thin fullback crop this year, although there's growing sentiment that the position is being eliminated entirely from offenses in the NFL. A throwback player -- a block first guy who will need to be selected by an offense that intends to use him that way, and as a special teams contributor. Ewing came into Wisconsin as a running back, and was Wisconsin's special teams player of the year as a senior.
Ewing is a powerful blocker who hits the hole hard and can dip, sit, and uncoil his hips for an explosive block into a linebacker. He had few carries or catches in his career, but was reliable when thrown to. While he can be explosive, he is more of a seek-out, engage and stalemate blocker. He is quick off the snap for his size and it's obvious he understands how to maximize his opportunities. Took a backseat in his senior year due to the rise of QB Russell Wilson. He is an NFL-ready player who has played in professional blocking schemes for years at Wisconsin.
Ewing is not going to make any electric plays with the ball at the next level. Compared to fullbacks who have been successful of late in the NFL, such as Vonta Leach of the Ravens, he has the ability to block with the same tenacity. A decent athlete but very stiff and straight-line as a runner. | 2019-04-26T16:36:15Z | http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/bradie-ewing?id=2533347 |

Braving the tough winter is no big deal for this active northern area.
Split by the mighty Mississippi River, Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota, make up what’s known as the “Twin Cities,” with the former holding the state’s highest population and the latter being the state capital. While Minneapolis bustles with high-rises and Saint Paul is more Victorian neighborhoods, the combination of numerous lakes, miles of pathways, and weather-hearty residents make the Twin Cities a runner-friendly hub.
The tough-as-nails residents brave the weather extremes to enjoy the outdoors that earned the honor of the healthiest metropolitan area in America by the American College of Sports Medicine in both 2011 and 2012.
Minnesota does get dang cold in the winter, with January’s daily average at 29 degrees and many days below 0. Locals know that the first 40-degree day of the year means it’s time to bust out shorts and short sleeves for a run along some of the area’s many scenic spots.
Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon. Often voted among the top-10 marathons in the country, thousands take to the streets of Minneapolis and Saint Paul each October. The Medtronic TC 10-Mile race takes place the same day.
Lifetime Fitness Torchlight 5K. Held in late July, this event starts at the Basilica St. Mary and races across town and ends with a party at the Stone Arch Bridge. The 7:30 p.m. start adds to the festive atmosphere.
Brewery Running Series. These casual 5K events end with—you guessed it—beer drinking at a brewery.
Endless Summer Trail Series. Five races between May and late August take place on Tuesday evenings on scenic trails in the area. Distances range from 5K to seven miles.
Carrie Tollefson. This middle-distance runner was on the 2004 U.S. Olympic team and was ranked No. 1 that same year by Track and Field News. Tollefson now hosts a weekly online show called “CTolleRun” based in the area.
Heather Kampf and Gabriele “Gabe” Grunewald. Kampf and Grunewald both ran for the University of Minnesota and now live and train as middle-distance runners in the Twin Cities—Kampf sponsored by Asics and Grunewald sponsored by Brooks Running.
Dennis Barker. Running coach Barker started Team USA Minnesota’s Distance Training Center in 2001 and now coaches elites like Kampf and Grunewald.
Team USA Minnesota. This club trains elite, post-collegiate runners for road, track, and cross country races from middle distance through the marathon.
Twin Cities Track Club. This team of post-collegiate, competitive runners supports youth programs and hosts events including all-comers track meets.
Minnesota Distance Running Association. This running club hosts group runs and offers training programs for all levels of runners.
Mill City Running. This Northeast Minneapolis shop, run by a husband and wife team, hosts 6:30 a.m. group runs followed by pancakes each Friday.
Run N Fun. This family-owned business has been around for 25 years and has locations in both Minneapolis and Saint Paul.
Gear Running. This shop is located less than a mile from the Chain of Lakes and hosts group runs every Wednesday evening around Lake Harriet. Gear Running has been serving the area for more than 30 years.
Eli’s Food & Cocktails. Runners not only come to Eli’s for the great breakfast and brunch, but also for the beer selection. Eli’s has two locations—one in downtown Minneapolis on Hennepin Avenue and one on East Hennepin.
Casper’s & Runyon’s Nook. Locals call this place “the Nook,” and come for the great burgers and beers. It’s located on Hamline Avenue S. in Saint Paul.
Wilde Roast. Named after playwright Oscar Wilde, this neighborhood restaurant is popular among runners as it’s located right across the bridge from downtown Minneapolis—a great place to start and end a run.
Chain of Lakes. Comprised of four of the largest lakes in the area, the Chain of Lakes provides runners with 13 miles of paved shoreline trail, with loops starting at 2.5 miles long. Local runners start and end routes from anywhere along the lakes.
River Road Trail. Extending from Minneapolis to Saint Paul, this dedicated running and biking path offers runners a traffic-free route with drinking fountains, bathrooms, and shade. The route extends 15 miles on both sides of the Mississippi River.
Midtown Greenway. This 5.5-mile path in south Minneapolis was converted from an old railroad track and connects to the Chain of Lakes, the Southwest LRT Trail, and paths along the Mississippi River.

Injunction Imposed on DOL Exemption Ruling!
After 21 states and 55 business groups filed a lawsuit against the United States Department of Labor (DOL) in September to block the new regulation regarding Exemption Status raising the minimum salary of exempt employees from $23,660.00 a year to $47,476.00 a year to take effect December 1, 2016, a U.S. District Judge in Texas, Amos Mazzant on November 22, 2016 imposed an injunction against the DOL.
What does this mean for employers? For now, the existing ruling regarding overtime (last updated in 2004) and amount of $23,660 will remain in effect and employers do NOT have to change anything. However, if you are an employer who has already reclassified employees from Exempt to Non-Exempt and implemented new time keeping, reporting, and overtime rules, there is no need to disrupt your workforce. As well, if you have increased base salaries of employees in order to maintain exemption, the psychological effects of reverting back may not be worth disrupting the morale of your workforce.
While this is not a final decision, as an injunction is not permanent, it means that we’ll have to ‘wait and see’ how this plays out.
