Governor's Palin's brother, Chuck Heath Jr., posted the following tongue-in-cheek list of "qualifications" that the Governor lacks on his Facebook page. Enjoy:
For the past five years, I've watched, listened to, and read viscous comments directed at my sister Sarah. These attacks are usually based on things those that want to destroy her feel she is lacking. I thought I'd help the haters out by compiling my own list. I hope this helps!
Ten Things That Sarah Palin is Lacking:
#1-Pedigree: Sarah was born into a low-income family with no political connections. Everything she's achieved has been through her own hard work.
#2-Soft hands: Sarah has continually worked to provide for herself and her family, whether it was as a commercial fisherman, a hunter, a waitress, etc., she's never been afraid to get her hands dirty.
#3-Sleep: I watched Sarah work 15-20 hours a day, seven days a week as governor. Her stamina amazes everyone close to her.
#4-A golf handicap: Although she loves the game, you would never see Sarah spending countless hours on the links during a position of leadership.
#5-Shady friends: Sarah has no ties to known domestic terrorists, and no wealthy foreign friends that financed trips for her overseas.
#6-Hidden college transcripts: Her school records have always been open to the public.
#7-A perfect family: Despite hardships that almost every American family faces, Sarah has kept her head up and focused on the positive, and she's always been there to help us when we've needed her.
#8-Friends in the media, Hollywood, and rap music: The vast majority of Hollywood stars and the mainstream media have done everything in their power to destroy her. No major network newsman has ever said that he gets a tingle up his leg when he thinks of her.
#9-A lack of respect for the Constitution: Sarah has always looked at the Constitution as a brilliant blueprint for America; a document that clearly lays out a separation of powers so that no one person or group of people have absolute power.
#10-A doubt in our Creator: Every big decision Sarah makes has been based on prayer.
I'm sure many of you could add to this list. Feel free, but try to be nice and honest.

Here is the Arch yesterday looking majestic as usual and a mound of mulch nearby after last weekend's MulchFest (Christmas trees in the chipper!). There were some additional trees discarded apparently after the whole event ended. There is something sad about discarded Christmas trees which still look like they have life in them.
Lots more coming. There was an end-of-year backlog, but look for a year-end wrap of things reported – and also not – that went on last year related to Washington Square Park + more. (Some juicy items too.) Check back over the weekend, next week!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawmakers urged France on Thursday to cancel the sale of two advanced helicopter carrier ships to Russia and suggested that NATO buy or lease them instead.
"The purchase would send a strong signal to (Russian) President (Vladimir) Putin that the NATO allies will not tolerate or in any way enable his reckless moves," they said in a letter to NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen obtained by Reuters.
Washington and some European partners have been urging Paris to reconsider its supply of high-tech military hardware to Moscow following Russian action in Ukraine, including its annexation of the Crimean peninsula in March.
Purchasing the ships would also enhance NATO's capabilities at a time when many members have been cutting defense expenditures, and reassure NATO partners in Central and Eastern Europe, the lawmakers said.
Signers of the letter included U.S. Representative Eliot Engel of New York, the top Democrat on the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee; Representative Michael Turner of Ohio, chairman of the U.S. delegation to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly; and Massachusetts Representative William Keating, the top Democrats on the House Europe subcommittee.
France has said it would press ahead with the deal because cancelling would do more damage to Paris than to Moscow. The contract, worth $1.66 billion, has created about 1,000 jobs and includes the option for two more of the advanced vessels.
Four other U.S. lawmakers wrote to Obama earlier this month urging him to oppose the sale of the Mistral ships, which can carry 16 helicopters, four landing craft, 60 armored vehicles, 13 tanks and up to 700 soldiers.
A spokesman for Democratic U.S. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, who signed that letter, said he was unaware of any response.
The 2011 French sale was Moscow's first major foreign arms purchase in the two decades since the fall of the Soviet Union. Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy had hailed the signing of the Mistral contract as evidence the Cold War was over.
The first carrier, the Vladivostok, is due to be delivered by the last quarter of 2014. The second, to be delivered by 2016, is named Sebastopol, after the Crimean seaport.

Now's the time to savor the flavor of fresh fruits and veggies! Even if you don't grow your own garden, you can enjoy produce fresh from the farm to your table by shopping at local farmers' markets.
And beginning July 9, the Allegany County "Mountain Fresh" farmers' market will be at WMHS between 2 pm – 5 pm every Wednesday. Local farmers will set up in the parking garage across from the Medical Arts Center entrance. Employees will be provided with zip lock bags so the produce can be brought into WMHS buildings.
Eating fresh locally grown produce helps YOU:
• Save money – fresh, seasonal foods are less expensive • Save energy – less gas used to move the food • Support local growers – buying at local farmers markets • Be healthy – fresh, seasonal foods are more flavorful, encouraging increased intake of fresh fruits and veggies, which increases your intake of healthy vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that fight disease and promote health
Other local farmers' markets include:
• Tuesdays: 9:30 am – 2 pm at the Country Club Mall (center court), LaVale
• Thursdays: 10 am – 1 pm at the Downtown Cumberland Pedestrian Mall
• Fridays: 9:30 am – 2 pm at City Place in Frostburg
• Saturdays: 10 am – 1 pm at Canal Place in Cumberland
To find farmers' markets in your area, visit www.localharvest.org/ or http://search.ams.usda.gov/farmersmarkets/

A Santa Rosa nurse practitioner pleaded no contest last week after being charged with illegally issuing prescriptions to her family members.
An investigation led by the Investigation and Enforcement Unit in the Hayward Field Office of the California Department of Consumer Affairs' Division of Investigation found that nurse practitioner Mary Carroll-Ambrose, of Santa Rosa, wrote 48 prescriptions for opioid controlled substances to her husband, daughter and son. There were over 9,000 pills prescribed over a two-year period.
The pills included opioid painkillers such as Norco, hydrocodone and codeine.
As a nurse practitioner, Carroll-Ambrose's practice and prescribing was supposed to be supervised by a physician at her employer, Sutter Medical Center of Santa Rosa, but her supervising physician had not authorized Carroll-Ambrose to prescribe narcotics to her family members and he was unaware of her prescribing activity. Additionally, there were no records to indicate that Carroll-Ambrose had been treating family members in the normal course of practice at her employer.
The Sonoma County District Attorney's Office charged Carroll-Ambrose with four felony counts of illegally issuing prescriptions as a result of her writing prescriptions to her family which were allegedly not for a legitimate medical purpose and were not written in the usual course of her professional practice. Carroll-Ambrose pleaded no contest to one felony count.
Carroll-Ambrose will appear in court for sentencing on October 14, 2015.
On June 15, 2015, the Board of Registered Nursing filed an Accusation to pursue disciplinary action against Carroll-Ambrose's nursing license, which can be read here.

A Cat Amongst The Birds?
East Lothian FM popped down to the harbour in North Berwick this morning to join in the naming celebrations for the Scottish Seabird Centre's new boat. The Seafari Explorer was officially named and launched by Mrs Margaret Bissett from Pencaitland. She won the Seabird Centre's "Name The Boat" competition earlier in the year and was the first passenger on board.
Environment & Education Friendly
The Seafari Explorer is a 57 seat catamaran that was designed with the specific needs of the Scottish Seabird Centre at it's core. The boat features solar panels to recharge the batteries and runs on fuel mixed with recycled cooking oil from the Seabird Centre's cafe. The boat will run trips out to the islands of the Firth of Forth starting this Friday but will also double as a floating classroom during term time.
As well as seeing the islands and birds up close, Seafari Explorer will also give passengers a unique perspective of wildlife under the surface. The boat carries a "Remote Underwater Vehicle" or RUV, basically a remote controlled submarine that will send pictures back up to the surface for passengers to see on a big screen.
Tom Brock, Chief Executive of the Scottish Seabird Centre, said:
The new catamaran is the latest in a long tradition of trip boats from North Berwick. It represents a significant investment in tourism for both the town and East Lothian, and offers a wonderful opportunity to see our amazing local wildlife. With its strong environmental credentials, this fuel-efficient craft is a fantastic way of giving both locals and visitors a wildlife experience to remember in this Year of Natural Scotland. What's more, the catamaran is suitable for people of all ages, so it's a trip for the whole family to enjoy. We're also immensely proud of the fact that schoolchildren will benefit from educational trips when the boat is used as a floating classroom.
Colin Aston, Managing Director of Seafari Adventures who run the Seabird Boat Trips in partnership with the Scottish Seabird Centre, said:
The new boat has taken time to come to fruition, but it has been worth every minute of hard work. We can now offer visitors a completely new boat trip experience, which will enable them to enjoy the wonders of the Firth of Forth at a leisurely pace and in comfort.
Seafari Explorer is the latest addition to a wide variety of popular wildlife boat trips offered by the Seabird Centre that include exciting RIB trips to the Bass Rock and exclusive landing trips to the Bass Rock as well as the Isle of May from North Berwick. All trips are accompanied by an experienced guide.

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of meeting Lou from Melbourne based business Hugs & Inspiration. Lou, and her buddies Ange and Mel have formed a crafty design trio creating beautiful modern art pieces for kids rooms. I've decided that my pick of the bunch is the Merry Go Round Ponies, so fanciful and fun!
Each piece in the Hugs & Inspiration collection is handcrafted from original hand drawn designs and framed in Australian hardwood. I love the combination of colours and patterns, chosen to perfectly complement each other and to give a fresh, playful appeal to your child's room or living space.
Hugs & Inspiration children's art is available in "collection" frames, as pictured here with three matching paper art pieces; and also as individual mix and match pieces.

Here are some inspiration pictures.
(the above are found at Little Birdie Secrets, Gobs of Giggles, & Apartment Therapy)
On a recent trip to a Salvation that was closing to renovate they had their picture frames all for $0.50. Heck yes. So I found one that I thought would be really cool to make into a chalk board for the kitchen! This is what I found:
Now I need to be the chalkboard paint, I was only able to find it at Walmart unfortunately ( if want to know what I hate Walmart, just read this). Anyway, I went there and it was only $9.99 for a quart jar.
So I started painting, here is the look after two coats (I didn't have a smaller roller which would have been ideal when using this paint! FYI!)
And now it is hanging on my bare kitchen wall. Don't worry I have big plans for this wall and this corner.
We just put this new (well new to us) light up .....
And the Hubby is working on some sweet benches for that corner :-)
P.s. In case you couldn't tell, I got my new Canon DSLR somewhere between painting and hanging it up :-) More on the new camera later....

14,400 more persons employed as at October 2018 — STATIN
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The total number of employed persons increased by 14,400 to 1,219,700 as at October 2018, relative to the corresponding period in 2017.
This is according to the Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN) Labour Force Survey for the month, which shows the out-turn reducing the annual average unemployment rate to 9.1 per cent, the lowest recorded since 1968.
The findings were outlined by Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ) Director General, Dr Wayne Henry, during the PIOJ's quarterly media briefing at the Agency's head office in New Kingston yesterday.
Dr Henry said the survey showed that eight of the 16 industry groups recorded higher employment levels.
These include real estate, renting and business activities, up 9,700 persons; hotels and restaurants, up 5,400 persons; other community, social and personal services activities, up 4.700 persons; and mining and quarrying, up 3,500 persons.
Meanwhile, Dr Henry said the monthly unemployment rate recorded for October 2018 stood at 8.7 per cent, 0.3 percentage points higher than the July out-turn.
The figure was, however, 2.8 percentage points lower than October 2017.
Despite the slight increase, the director general said male, female and youth unemployment recorded declines for the period.
The female unemployment fell by the largest margin – 2.9 per cent – to 11.2 per cent; the rate for males declined by 0.9 per cent to 6.4 per cent; while youth (14 to 24 years) unemployment fell by 0.5 percentage points to 24.9 per cent, relative to October 2017.
Dr Henry indicated that Jamaica's labour force for October 2018 comprised 1,335,300 persons. This, he pointed out, was a decrease of 10,700 persons compared with October 2017.
The October 2018 out-turn reflected an increase of 10,600 in the number of persons outside the labour force, which outweighed the natural decrease in the working age population (14 years and older) by 100 persons.
Dr Henry said among the reasons cited for the increased number of persons outside the labour force were 6,900 more persons who indicated that they 'did not want to work', 3,700 more who said they were 'staying home with dependents', and another 1,400 who advised that they were 'at school full-time'.
"The unemployed labour force amounted to 115,600 persons, which was 25,000 fewer persons compared with October 2017," he pointed out.

Three major dailies -- the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle -- have published lengthy follow-up stories on the Children of God (now The Family International) since last week's murder-suicide by Richard P. Rodriguez (known as "Davidito" in his boyhood). Laurie Goodstein of The New York Times has written the most comprehensive account, which does not follow the lead of the Chronicle's Don Lattin in calling the group a "desert evangelical sex cult" (last Tuesday) -- or (from Saturday's update) an "international evangelical sex cult."
(Lest it seem that Lattin used the broadest possible meaning of evangelical, as one might say Hare Krishnas are evangelical Hindus, there's also his summary of the Children of God's founding by David "Moses" Berg: "During the spiritual counterculture of the 1960s, Berg embraced a strange brew of evangelical Christianity, radical politics and free love.")
Goodstein is more precise: "The founder of the Children of God was David Brandt Berg, a son of Pentecostal evangelists. In the late 60's, he attracted a group of hippie followers who styled themselves as revolutionary Jesus freaks."
Goodstein's story also is helpful because she quotes Family spokeswoman Claire Borowik attempting to reconcile the group's past (when Berg encouraged sexual promiscuity) with its present (it renounced promiscuity in 1986):
Ms. Borowik, the spokeswoman, said in a lengthy telephone interview that Mr. Rodriguez had been reared in an atmosphere similar to "a nudist colony," where sexual freedoms were taken for granted. She cited scholars who said the sexual practices appeared to cause no harm to the children and a psychologist who evaluated Ricky as a teenager and found him well adjusted.
"He was never taken advantage of," she said. "Rather he was allowed to explore his sexuality freely. He was allowed to explore as a young boy what comes naturally, and usually in our society, we do not allow such exploration."
Larry Stammer of the Los Angeles Times adds this detail: "[The group] also has gone on the attack, warning detractors that "the enemy will rue the day," in a message they said came from Jesus Christ, and calling them "vitriolic apostates."
I've give it a rest on the National Association of Evangelicals as a reliable measure of evangelicalism. Instead, I'll keep GetReligion's readers posted on whether the Family ever joins the Evangelical Press Association or tries to send its music ministry to play "Wrong Side of the Bed" at the Cornerstone Festival.

Dueling 'Plead the Fifths': Lance Bass and Kevin Jonas
The two boy banders talk man crushes, tour sex and purity rings.
It was a night of pop star honesty on Watch What Happens Live, as neither Lance Bass or Kevin Jonas used their one out in Plead the Fifth during a good Andy Cohen grilling. And as you'll see, no topic was off limits.
Let's start with Mr. Bass, who before even getting into his PTF gave Andy a little jab about his Wendy Williams appearance in which he admitted to making out with Lance during a tables-turned round of Plead the Fifth. After a laugh and an request to turn on a fan for Andy, the interrogation began. Who's the worst dancer in N'SYNC? Who got the most action on tour? What female celebrity tried to pick up Lance before he came out as gay? Oh, it's good, and it's below:
Next up, the younger boy bander -- Kevin Jonas. Andy didn't waste much time, again keeping the topic on the sexual side by asking Kevin if he'd ever hooked up with a Jonas fan. Also on deck: Were the Jonas purity rings a parent-created stunt, and who he'd "take a dip in the man pool" with if he had to choose. His answer is actually the husband of another WWHL guest this week! Guess who, or just watch:

Published at Saturday, November 24th, 2018 - 19:46:50 PM. Bedroom. By Conradine Berger.
This master bedroom is also quite simple in terms of interior décor. The room is slightly dark and this, in combination with the warm, earthy colors chosen for the décor, result in a very relaxing and cozy atmosphere. The simplicity of the lines, the beauty of the details and the rich textures all contribute to an overall simple and sophisticated look.
You're missing on a lot of decor opportunities if you're utilizing the space at the foot of your bed for anything. It may seem like an insignificant thing to do but placing a bed bench there can really improve the decor and ambiance in the room. Bedroom benches are not must-have furniture piece but they definitely have an important role in the overall aspect of this space. The great thing about them is that there are so many different design possibilities and so many variations that you can be sure you'll find something that suits your style and needs. If not, you can always improvise or having something custom-made just for you.

#TeamTrees on YouTube Is Worth Your Support
You won't find Disney, Coca-Cola, or McDonalds behind #TeamTrees. It was Youtubers who started it, and many of them have somewhat unique perspectives and approaches to planting trees.
Washington's Republican leaders have hit on a novel strategy. They will side with Donald Trump against Ted Cruz and then pivot one of three ways.
First, they will stand with Trump and hope he devours them last. Trump is surrounded by a pitchfork carrying mob intent on destroying Washington as we know it. Hoping Trump does not devour them is foolhardy.
Second, they will carry Trump past Cruz then flip to Hillary in the general election. Their calculation is that they will at least be able to keep power within the Republican Party even if Hillary is President.
Third, they will gamble that Trump can be beaten after he beats Cruz in Iowa — no sure thing in and of itself. For months they've been peddling stories that the calendar supports the moderate overall. Such theory ignores voter psychology and the desire to back a winner. If Trump or Cruz build momentum, the more moderate divided field is toast. Have they not seen California's polling or Nevada?
Most Republicans who hate Trump and Cruz are in the third camp. They really think they can rally after Iowa. They are, however, committing suicide.
Have they seen the polling in New Hampshire?
Right now, Trump, Kasich, and Cruz are at the top with Rubio in fourth, Bush in fifth, and Christie in sixth.
If Kasich comes in second in New Hampshire, as the race shifts south Kasich is going to have to answer for expanding Obamacare in Ohio, growing government, and a host of liberal policies and statements including telling conservatives they need to get over gay marriage and abortion.
That just keeps the fight alive between the more establishment oriented candidates.
The logical choice for the establishment is to start rallying now to Rubio as members of Congress hell bent on surviving are beginning to do. Rubio is youthful, polls very well against the Democrats, is the guy the Democrats fear most, and has the potential to bring new voters in to the race.
Sure, Rubio is not going to be able to make peace with voters opposed to amnesty. They do not trust him. But both McCain and Romney were able to get the nomination despite being to the left of Rubio on immigration. The voters opposed to amnesty do not have to make peace with Rubio — the Establishment just has to settle for him.
The most amazing thing about this election is that the Republican Establishment is unwilling and unable to do the things necessary for its own survival. A Kasich will alienate social conservatives and fiscal conservatives. A Bush will alienate much of the base over legacy concerns. A Christie will alienate gun voters and social conservatives. Rubio alienates fewer voters than the others, but the Establishment just does not seem to get it.
This is like watching a slow walk to suicide. As someone who often cheers on the conservative outsiders, I am somewhat relishing watching the Establishment march off the cliff. But I am also baffled. The establishment of the Republican Party has prided itself on beating conservatives, often by encouraging the conservative field to divide itself while the leadership of the party rallies around just one candidate.
This time, the outsiders are beating the insiders at their own game and as an interested observer, it is kinda glorious to watch the confusion and chaos while seeing the obvious, logical answer none of the guys in D.C. can see or, more likely, refuse to see.
I would gladly back any of the Republican candidates, from Trump to Christie, but I am also a real minority on that issue. These Republicans in Washington are so used to thinking they have it in the bag, they just might not know the warning signs to realize they don't this time.
You won't find Disney, Coca-Cola, or McDonalds behind #TeamTrees. It was Youtubers who started it, and many of them have somewhat unique perspectives and approaches to planting trees.
We thank our veterans, and all the veterans of the Western allies, for their service to our nation and the world. In Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on row,That mark our place …
I understand that political tribalism is at its height. I get that liberal Democrats are going to rally to their pet news-generating entities just like conservative Republicans will rally to their own …

My son, Elijah, is in a funk. "Leave me alone!" he yelled at his siblings, whose every movement he views as a ploy to annoy him. Separated now in his room, he lies on the bed sulking and pouting, grumbling under his breath about the unfairness of being eight years old. Normally, I would scold him. "Snap out of it!" I'd say. But today, I too am funky and on edge, and I lie down next to him fighting back tears of frustration. There are days I feel discouraged, there are moments I feel ambivalent, and then there are times when I almost feel lifeless. Like my spiritual pulse is scarcely discernable amidst the tragic disease of my stubborn defiance. I am beyond aware of the depths of the depravity in my soul.
I coasted some. I let down my guard, seeing the finish line in clear view up ahead. I foolishly reasoned I could take it from here and ran on my own toward Pascha. A morning, however, not guarded by prayer leaves a heart more vulnerable to assaults. Over time that unprotected heart, riddled with wounds from the arrows of sin and despair, can barely beat out its sheepish plea for a divine intervention. It is frightening, this taste of an existence without Christ. It is terrifying outside the will of God.
So here I am, crawling into Holy Week head bowed and eyes lowered. I have mourned my lack of life like Mary and Martha mourned Lazarus days buried, and now throw myself, stinking of decay, at the feet of the Church and its sacraments. The weeks of Lent stretch long enough to push us past our limits, to force us into the reality of an instinctive desire to make ourselves a priority. The days of fasting bring us quite appropriately and authentically to our knees. I have nothing to pour upon Christ's holy shroud but a broken spirit, and a mustard seed worth of faith that this offering will not be despised.
When I think of those present, waving palm branches and shouting praises, I am struck by the difficulties they must have endured. How certain they were that triumphant relief was theirs through this future king passing by on a donkey. How enormously disappointing to watch that Hope suffer, naked and bloodstained on a cross. They, too, tasted of bereavement through their preconceived notions of salvation being crushed before rising again. Just as I forget that violence and grace coexist until my time here is over, until through physical death I attain, by God's mercy, the victory of life everlasting.
I am anxious for the opportunity to bury myself with Christ - my weak self, my old self, and my resistant self so sickened with discontent. I am anxious to enter the sepulcher of my Savior, where all of us are equally dead; the strong and the weak both equally in need of a miracle to pull us out of this mess. During Holy Week, I will have no doubts that my fasting, my prayer, or my lack thereof, did not earn or deny me a chance to be resurrected. Because this silver lined burial can't be bought or lost with appropriate behavior. Only those aware of their hopeless state, and who see no other way for deliverance outside the crucifixion will experience the triumphant relief in a stone rolled away from the tomb.
Already, my ears are aching for St. John Chrysostom's Paschal Homily:
And if any have tarried even until the eleventh hour,
Let him, also, be not alarmed at his tardiness.
For the Lord, who is jealous of his honour,
Will accept the last even as the first.
He giveth rest unto him who cometh at the eleventh hour,
Even as unto him who hath wrought from the first hour.
And He showeth mercy upon the last,
And careth for the first;
And to the one He giveth,
And upon the other He bestoweth gifts.
And He both accepteth the deeds,
And welcometh the intention,
And honoureth the acts and praises the offering.
Oh, me, of little faith "snap out of it" and rejoice!

For any workout bar, Olympic or powerlifting the material must be very strong but also ductile. High ductility is the crucial component that ensures a workout bar will maintain its straightness during repeated heavy lifting, and it should not be brittle which can lead to sudden failure or breaking. Many high-strength steels though strong are not suitable for lifting bars based on their lack of ductility. When you hear the term "tensile strength" this refers to the limit of force per square inch a workout bar can endure before breaking. "Yield strength" refers to the force a workout bar can endure before permanently bending or deviating from its original straightness. Whether using alloy or stainless steel these guidelines must be strictly followed.Understanding Tensile and Yield Strength
With any material, whether high strength or not, tensile and yield strengths fluctuate from manufacturing. Steel mills have targets of minimum tensile and yield strengths that must be met each time a heat or run is produced, meaning that the material must never fall below the stated numbers, but can and will be above after production. Any workout bar that is above 180,000 PSI tensile strength begins to loose elasticity and becomes very stiff. Olympic lifters prefer a workout bar with good elasticity (whip) during lifting, whereas a powerlifter prefers a much stiffer workout bar. Many companies quote strengths above 200,000 PSI tensile which is very stiff and therefore not desirable for Olympic lifts.Sleeves and Material
The ultimate finish is a sleeve with a heavy hard chrome overlay. With this you get a very hard outer shell for protection, as bumper plate hubs can range in hardness and easily damage the sleeves from constant dropping. Again, decorative chrome is the least desirable choice because of the danger from cracking and peeling.

Gas turbine GE Frame 6FA at a CHP successfully retrofitted with a Franke-Filter Oil Mist Separator
The combined heat and power station (CHP) Hannover Linden is a natural-gas-fuelled power station with a maximum electric capacity of 255 MW and cogeneration of 185MW. The combined-cycle plant has two gas turbines and one steam turbine and is Hannover's most efficient generation station.
The gas and steam turbines, supplied by Siemens, were already equipped with a Franke-Filter Oil Mist Separator as part of the standardisation between both companies, whereas the in 2010 commissioned GE gas turbine frame 6FA was equipped with a competitor's unit. After expiration of the guarantee period the turbine operator of the company Enercity Hannover contacted Franke-Filter for a new Oil Mist Separator to replace the one at the GE Frame 6FA.
The vital factor at such a project is the exact dimensioning and suitable design of a separator. Being a specialized manufacture, Franke-Filter could provide a customized solution which could fit into the available space exactly.
Advantages of Oil Mist Separator
- Oil Mist is exhausted directly at bearings and filter in the filter vessel with an efficiency of >99,9%
- Filtered air can be directly exhausted into the turbine hall or atmosphere
- Lube oil can be led back into the lube oil tank without loss of additives
- Constant, minimum vacuum in the lube oil tank and bearings, which is easy to regulate
- Oil Mist Separator due to its individual design can be directly installed to the already available connections
- Less maintenance work needed thanks to long maintenance intervals of 2-5 years
(Competing products on the market have intervals of just ½ - 1 year)
- Personal contact person for potential consultations and for further maintenance

Two South Dakota locations to be featured on popular TV shows
It was reported recently that two unique South Dakota locations will be featured on popular television shows: Pioneer Auto Show in Murdo will be on The History Channel's "American Pickers," and Hansen Wheel and Wagon Shop in rural Letcher will be on The Discovery Channel's "How It's Made."
Pioneer Auto Show is a massive collection of classic cars and antiques. Located along Interstate 90, it's a favorite stop of tourists on their way to Mount Rushmore. "American Pickers" stars Mike Wolfe and Colby Cushman spent a day in August rummaging through the dozens of buildings on the grounds. The anticipated air date is during the spring of 2012.
Hansen Wheel and Wagon Shop describes itself as "a family owned and operated carriage and wagon manufacturer established in 1978 and located on the plains of the Dakotas" that provides "the most historically accurate horse-drawn vehicles anywhere this side of the 1800s." The shop recently announced on its Facebook page that a crew from "How It's Made" plans to spend three days filming wagon-making and stagecoach-building, with the show to air at a later date.

I feel like it's been a long time since I've PR'd at the 5k distance, so I am super excited right now! I'm also super duper excited because this was completely unexpected!!
Last night I stayed up a little later than I usually do, and I drank a little bit too much wine and had a couple of slices of pizza, knowing good and well that I had a hard workout scheduled for today. Hahaha whoops… So when I got up this morning (a little earlier than I would have liked to, I should add) I thought this run was going to end up being absolutely miserable. If you follow my Instagram story at all, you would have seen that I was definitely doing some procrastinating this morning. 😉 But I did eventually get dressed, out the door, and on the road.
I think in another post I had mentioned that I'm following one of the training plans on Garmin Connect. I've used their training plans for both of my half marathons and they've never steered me wrong, plus I really enjoy their plans and so far the "improve your fitness" plan has been a lot of fun as well! So anyway, the workout that was scheduled for today was an interval workout, and it was almost my favorite combination of hard and rest intervals; the plan was to warm up for 10 minutes, run at 10k pace for 3 minutes, rest for 2 minutes (I prefer to rest for 1 minute, so this was really close 🙂 ), repeat 5 times, and then cool down. So that's almost what I did.
I know I've mentioned before that I run by feel and not pace, so I wasn't at all trying to maintain any particular pace, I just ran the 3 minute intervals "hard". Then for the first 3 rest intervals I ran at a super easy, super comfortable pace for 1 minute, and then walked for a minute. My mental game is super weak and I tend to always walk through my entire rest intervals, so I feel like that was actually a really big breakthrough for me! Haha even though for the last 3 intervals I ended up walking for the full 2 minutes because at that point I had decided to tackle some hills. But still, I'm very proud of myself. 🙂
So when I started my 10 minute warm up I felt really good. Actually I felt pretty great! But at first that kinda had me worried, because sometimes I'll feel super duper good during my warm up, and then after that everything will go down hill from there. But once I finished my first 3 minute interval at a 10:07 pace and it felt almost easy, I knew this run was going to be fucking fantastic. After that I decided that I wanted to really push myself and I busted out the next two intervals at a 9:39 and a 8:19 pace. That 8:19 pace interval had me super excited, because at one point I happened to glance at my watch (which is actually something I try really hard not to do while running intervals) and it said I was running at a 7:52 pace. 7:52!!! That's almost unheard of for me! And then when I got home I realized that I managed to go even a little bit faster than that, but I'll get to that in a minute.
So that brought me to about halfway through this workout and all the way back to my house (which was the starting point of my run), and then I was faced with a semi tough decision. I could either run down my street again, which is the flattest street in my neighborhood, and try to hit those same paces, or I could go tackle a few hills. Obviously I picked the hills. Haha running down the same street again would have just been way too boring! So the next three intervals were a little bit slower since they were, for the most part, spend going up hill. But I think I still maintained close to the same effort that I was running for the first half of my run. 🙂 After my last 3 minute interval I turned off my watch and then waited for my shiny new PR to pop up onto the screen, because at that point I knew it would, and then spent 3-4 minutes walking back home so that was basically my cool down haha.
Once I got home the first thing I did was get my legs up on a wall (gotta help flush out that lactic acid!) and synced my GPS watch to Garmin Connect. That's when I relized that at some point, probably not long after I glanced at my watch and saw that I was running at 7:52 pace, that I had actually hit a 7:46 pace! HOLY SHIT! I have absolutely no idea how I pulled that one off! I probably didn't even hold that pace for very long, but still, I've never ever hit a pace anywhere close to that before! So yeah. I'd say this workout was a crazy huge success, which like I said is crazy, because I really thought it was going to be awful!
Now I feel like tomorrow my legs are going to be super fun and my long run is going to be absolutely no fun, but maybe I'll end up getting pleasantly surprised again. Haha I sure hope I do anyway, but I have a feeling that I'm not going to get that lucky two days in a row.
Anyway, after I felt like my legs had been up for long enough, I chugged the rest of the Gatorade that I was drinking, showered, and made myself a bacon and egg sandwich with extra bacon (which I devoured too fast to take a decent photo of) as a reward for my shiny new PR. Because obviously extra bacon is the best reward ever! 😉
And now that I'm clean, fed, and probably adequately hydrated, I suppose I need to stretch and foam roll.
I hope you have a great Saturday!!
~Ashley 🙂

At the moment, in order to satisfy the demands of transported applications, several service quality architectures have been proposed, but what they have in common is that they propose a static approach to an environment which is highly dynamic.
The algorithms are often complex and only give good results on very precise data and at particular moments.
Along this axis we have chosen to carry out auto- piloting of algorithms for monitoring and managing various existing networks. The idea is to make the network autonomic.
Under this heading, the approach chosen to pilot the networks comes from techniques of distributed artificial intelligence and mainly from agent systems. The dynamics of the system represented by the agents; decision-making is loaded in the network element which can thus become autonomic and react to a problem. This approach gives a permanent guarantee of satisfaction for the network user and operator. The technology produced can be described briefly as a set of agents which will function in coordination to solve a problem or find a solution in a given situation.
One of the main themes is experimentation of proposals made. Two test and assessment platforms are used. The first is a local environment with standard equipment used for IP, MPLS, or service quality. As for large-scale tests, they are carried out within the Planet-lab network. In this way the test environment is as wide as the Internet. Peer-to-peer network applications are assessed in this framework. Lastly, the team also develops its own simulation and experimentation tools.
The ERA team has developed specialized research in the field of networks and their management and also gained recognition for competence in multi-agent technologies.
This dual skill is indisputably the team's strength even more so as it is assisted by a complete set of testing and simulation tools.
The "Autonomic Networking Environment" Team was started in January 2008.
Its scientific research theme was previously included in the M2S research axes.
The ERA team has defined its research objectives from the theme of autonomic networking.
This key theme (a solution to the complexity of present networks) is far-reaching as it combines the field of network architecture, protocols, management and monitoring and also the tools which will be the backbone of future autonomic networks. Team activities go from low layers to application layers through protocol stacks.

Saplings From Anne Frank's Chestnut Tree to Be Planted Across US
(NEW YORK) -- Saplings from the chestnut tree that gave famous Holocaust victim Anne Frank hope while she was hiding from Nazis in World War II are going to be planted across the United States.
Anne Frank wrote about the tree in her famous diary. When she and her family were hiding in a secret annex for almost two years, glances of the tree outside every morning were one of her few connections to the outside world.
The original tree collapsed in 2010 – 65 years after Frank died in a concentration camp, but not before it produced several saplings. Now 11 of these are going to be planted in various significant spots in the United States to help preserve Anne Frank's legacy and promote tolerance.
Among the locations that will be getting an Anne Frank chestnut tree are New York's 9/11 memorial and Little Rock Central High School, which played an important part in the civil rights movement.

Towards the end of January 2014, I went on a trip to France. I was very determined to spend a lot of time taking pictures. After all, Paris is one of the most photogenic places. With the last statement I wouldn't agree as much right now but, at that time, it was quite right.
Lots of history everywhere, nice architecture, big spaces, you had The Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, The Seine, Pompidou Center, La Defénse, The BNF, lot of architecture actually. If I'm not mistaken France has about 20 architecture schools. Since I was still studying architecture at that point (in Bucharest though), in my final years, and as a photography noob, I had no time to lose in Paris. Too many places to see, things to do, pictures to take, and not so much time.
If writing about my trip to Georgia and Armenia is taking me more than 1000 words/day, imagine what would mean to write about Paris. But if I would do that I would post it in the travel category, not in Kaleidoscope, so I will try to focus on the image, even though I kind of need to make a connection with the moment when I took it.
Long story short, it was the third day of my trip, spent about 8 hours/day walking all over the city, taking pictures, even if it was winter and cold, but fortunately enough there was no snow, and I forgot to eat anything since I left the hostel. Before heading towards La Defénse I was at the Louvre Museum, with my ultra-wide angle lens, Sigma 8-14mm, and through this lens, I was observing a very different scenery. The excitement of this discovery totally replaced the physical need, to do something about the emptiness of my stomach.
This is the picture that I used for this Kaleidoscope. The Louvre Pyramid, designed by the architect I.M. Pei. I loved how the vertical lines were converging towards the top of the pyramid and how even if it's an outside image you can still see the interior stairs and the reflection of the clouds.
I think this exercise here marked the moment when I decided that I could do an interesting project based on the pictures that I already had. Just browsing the folders with pictures I was able to find a whole bunch of almost symmetrical images, that were fitting this pattern.
In the next post, I am using some train tracks as source image for #4 Kaleidoscope. I am trying to keep a schedule to avoid going crazy with all the posting, training, and the work on my photo-journal "45 Days of India" and my start-up, so the following Kaleidoscope post will be next Thursday.
If you missed the first two Kaleidoscopes, here are the links:

It's official that I have a thing for maxi dresses.....wait till you see tomorrow's post !!!
This summer, I have been enjoying maxi dresses to the max, coz :
Thanks for stopping by loves.
This summer, I have been enjoying maxi dresses to the max, coz :
- it is summery, a no-brainer and gives that cool put-together-without-any-effort look.
- it can be styled differently: wear as is or pair with a card or even denim jacket, options are endless ! In cooler temps throw over a leather jacket and voila !
- it is easy-breezy and body elongating: add a pair of heels and your legs look an extra mile longer......instantly !!
- it hides body image issues: if not completely, it at least makes 'em less visible under all that fabric.
- it is the instant sartorial solution on couldn't-shave-no-time days.
heels- French Connection ( perforated wedges option )
necklace- Your Bijoux Box

The iPad is like a giant iPod touch, until you play with it. The iPad has more features than the iPod touch or the iPhone. The keyboard on the iPad is almost as big as a keyboard on a laptop computer, but you actually just type on the screen. You can't see your fingerprints on the screen unless it's turned off. It's so much more fun to play games on the iPad like Godfinger, Tap Tap Radiation and more. It is also nicer to watch videos because of the bigger screen. Plus, there are apps that can help you with learning math and other languages. That would be a really good way to get ahead over the summer before school starts again. Another good app is iBooks, which is your own online library. You can read a variety of books including graphic novels, which look great on the iPad. The coolest thing in iBooks is that if there's a word I don't know I touch the word and it looks it up in the dictionary.
I really like the iPad and would prefer to get this over a laptop computer. It's so much cooler and way more interactive. Now to convince my parents to get me one.

E3 came and went with a whimper rather than a bang, but Sony acknowledged the blunder and good things beckon for GamesCom. At least E3 came and went, the promised June PS Heaven event has all but evaporated (unless Sony Japan works Saturdays). But, there was still lots of good things to enjoy in the world of the Vita.
Largely on the basis of the wonderful Gravity Daze in the West, offering a fantastic world to inhabit and explore and a game that doesn't rely on endless killing! And Persona in Japan which gave the Vita a much-needed lift.
Good things came in small packages too, with the excellent PulzAR proving that augmented reality games can be both good and fun to play. The YouTube app was also a much-welcome addition to the Vita's slowly growing range of apps. And Vita-based joy doesn't need to be expensive with the excellent PSV/PSP/minis sale offering near-endless amounts of entertainment for fantastic prices. I've picked up Trails in the Sky and God of War: Ghost of Sparta so far.
Finally, there's the oddball moments in life that you can't help but laugh at, this month brought to you by these rather mad Orgaryhthm trailers.
What were your personal favourite gaming moments in June?

Truth Seeker
today's reading.
2 Peter 1:19-21; 1 Timothy 6:3-5 And we have something more sure, the prophetic word, to which you will do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts...
2 Peter 1:19-21
think about it.
Where do the prophecies come from (2 Peter 1:21)? What is the condition of those who teach something other than God's Word?
the blog.
God's Word is Truth. But as we see from 1 Timothy 6:3-5, contrary teaching to this Truth abounds. False teaching can be a huge snag or pitfall for us. That's why Paul lets us know that we need to be tuned in, and on the lookout for, false teachers.
So how can we guard against falling victim to false teaching? How can we use our Bible when someone starts suggesting, endorsing, or advancing something that doesn't seem quite right? Tami W.

Organic Gardener. Sustainability Spokesperson. Natural Beekeeper. Farm-to-Fork Cook. Small, Local Business Supporter. Committed Preserver.
These are some of the hats I wear daily here on our little plot of suburbia. My day may start with a check on the beehives, continue with a little bread baking in the outdoor ceramic cooker, and end with a crochet hook in my hand, creating dishcloths while watching a documentary on food or farms or homesteading. It's a great life! I wouldn't want it any other way! But sometimes ... well ... the neighbors and the friends think I'm a little strange. They wonder why I fill my compost bin instead of my city-provided trash container. *sigh*
Sometimes I long for community. A visit with the like-minded. A chat with the revolutionaries of our time. A moment with the dirt-under-their-fingernails crowd. I am blessed to be part of an urban homesteading group. Supportive, skilled, amazing folks sharing freely.
Friends From the Virginia Urban Homesteaders League at the Heritage Harvest Festival
But to recharge with LOTS more folks like us, my husband and I travel each year to Thomas Jefferson's Monticello for the Heritage Harvest Festival. Imagine ... a whole weekend in the most beautiful surroundings (Jefferson's gardens are worth the trip!), learning and sharing with hundreds of people sharing your love of the land and all things homestead. This year, several friends from the Virginia Urban Homesteaders League made the trip as well.
Thomas Jefferson's Monticello
This festival, in its seventh year, is a weekend filled with workshops and speakers and activities celebrating the things dear to this girl's heart. My husband and I attended fantastic classes on Friday on topics such as cheese making, pig plowing, beekeeping, chicken keeping, permaculture, and companion planting. One of my favorites was a class on healing and thriving with native medicinals.
Native Medicinals Workshop
Saturday, a gorgeous day, started with the Seed Swap, hosted by Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. Just like the name declares, seeds, lovingly collected and brought to the Swap by festival-goers, are traded as freely as the advice on how to grow and harvest them. Lemon Balm was traded for False Indigo. Malibar Spinach was traded for Nicotiana. And so on. And so on.
Seed Swap
The rest of the morning was filled with heirloom tomato and apple cider tastings, demonstrations by blacksmiths and weavers and spinners and food fermenters, and visits with vendors of natural soaps and garden spades and farming books and green juices.
Tomato Tasting
Traditional Food Preservation
Then, the highlight of the day for me ...
Me With Hank Will
... meeting Hank Will, editor in chief of Capper's Farmer and GRIT magazines. What a warm and welcoming soul! We had a lovely chat, comparing notes on bees, gardens, and other delightfully home-y topics. (He is quite tall, but truthfully, I'm what my husband lovingly calls a halfling.)
Later that day, my husband and I left the festival, our sacks filled with heirloom seeds, books and notes, a nice hot pepper jelly, and so much more. On the way back to our everyday life, we smiled thankfully for the time with the like-minded, our non-geographical community of growers, keepers, and makers.

Montezuma Wildlife Refuge to Offer Guided Bird-Viewing Walks
Guided Shorebird-Viewing Walks at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge
As summer flies by, so do the shorebirds that use the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge as a stopping point during their migration.

Thanks to local birding experts, you are able to get a close view of these birds through the refuge's annual Guided Shorebird Walk series. All tours will start at the Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge Visitor Center (3395 U.S. Route 20 East, Seneca Falls, NY 13148) and guests will carpool/caravan to the viewing sites. Some moderately-difficult walking and significant time out in the sun will occur, so please come prepared with water and sunscreen.

Saturday, August 15: Meet at 8:00 AM. Guided by Steve and Linda Benedict of the Eaton Birding Society

Abbotsford Men's Health
Are you searching for a qualified, naturopathic men's health doctor in Abbotsford? Located just two hours away in Kirkland, I offer a wide range of health and quality of life treatments for men of all ages.
From treatment for hormone imbalances to erectile dysfunction, sexual health, weight loss, and more, I specialize in treating a wide range of common health issues that can affect men. For all of my patients, my focus is to provide sustainable, lasting treatments that produce real results.
At my clinic, I work with men of all ages and backgrounds and aim to provide the right treatment for you. As a naturopathic doctor, my approach is to provide effective treatment that addresses the root cause of your health issues, not just to prescribe medication that treats the symptoms.
Would you like to make an appointment? To schedule your consultation, please contact us. Just two hours from Abbotsford, we're open Monday to Friday, as well as for scheduled appointments on Saturdays.
Erectile Dysfunction Treatment in Abbotsford
Erectile dysfunction, or ED, is an extremely common issue that affects tens of millions of men in North America. ED affects men of all ages and backgrounds, and it's often a condition that can come and go based on factors such as your mood and overall mental and physical health.
The most common treatment for ED is the use of drugs, such as Viagra or Cialis. However, ED can often be solved through non-pharmaceutical treatments that provide more sustainable and long-lasting results.
As a naturopathic doctor, I offer a wide range of ED treatments that can help you improve your erection quality and enjoy a normal sex life. These include low-intensity sound treatments such as GAINSWave, as well as the natural Priapus Shot.
Would you like to treat erectile dysfunction without relying on medication like Viagra, Cialis or Levitra? GAINSWave is a sound-based therapy that can increase blood flow to your penis and make it easier for you to develop an erection, all without the use of drugs.
GAINSWave works by delivering low-intensity sound waves to the tissue of your penis. This can increase arterial blood flow, helping you get and keep an erection. Often, GAINSWave alone is enough to provide significant improvements in your sexual performance and treat ED.
Because GAINSWave is non-pharmaceutical and non-surgical, there's no post-op pain or daily medication to worry about -- only a real, lasting improvement in sexual performance.
The Priapus Shot, or P-Shot, is another non-surgical and non-pharmaceutical option for treating erectile dysfunction. The P-Shot contains cells produced by your own body that can restore and improve sexual performance, making it easier for you to maintain an erection.
An ideal option for men with ED that want to avoid using Viagra or other medication, the P-Shot is one of several erectile dysfunction treatments we offer to patients.
Sexual Health
Are you concerned about a decline in your sexual performance? Have you noticed a reduced level of interest in sex? Men's sexual health can decline over time, making issues such as ED and reduced libido more common as you get older.
Sexual health issues can also affect younger men. In fact, approximately one-quarter of all men who seek treatment for sexual performance issues are below the age of 40.
Changes in your sexual health can occur for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, they're caused by a change in hormone levels. Sometimes, changes in your cardiovascular health, stress levels, or mood can trigger a change in your sexual performance and well-being.
As an experienced naturopathic doctor, I specialize in diagnosing a treating a diverse range of male sexual health issues. From ED to low sex drive, I can provide the effective treatment you need to resolve sexual health issues and enjoy a normal, fulfilling sex life.
Endocrine Imbalance
From libido to energy, mental outlook, and metabolism, hormones produced by your endocrine system are vitally important for managing almost every aspect of your health and well-being.
When your body is deficient in a certain hormone or has a hormonal imbalance, it can have a significant impact on the way you feel. Often, men with hormonal imbalances face a reduced libido, issues with weight gain, low levels of energy and other health problems.
Endocrine imbalances can occur for a variety of reasons, from your lifestyle and professional workload to your diet, alcohol consumption, and activity level. Working with you, I can provide treatments for a range of hormonal imbalances to improve your health and quality of life.
Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement in Abbotsford
If you have a hormone deficiency or imbalance, it's important that you seek treatment to ensure it doesn't develop into a long-term health issue.
Bio-identical hormone replacement is the use of hormones, typically in the form of an implanted pellet, to supplement your body's own hormone production. For men, some of the most common hormones used in therapy include sex hormones such as testosterone and thyroid hormones.
Without hormone replacement, an endocrine imbalance can lead to a variety of negative health issues, from weight gain to a lack of sexual interest. Through treatment, we can help you solve any hormone deficiencies you face and produce a real improvement in your quality of life.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Abbotsford
Testosterone is responsible for a huge range of functions in men, from fueling your sex drive to giving you energy, helping you gain and maintain muscle mass, strengthening your bones, and regulating your mood.
As men get older, it's normal for their levels of testosterone to gradually decrease. However, if your testosterone level is drasticly below normal, you may notice a significant decline in your sex drive, physical strength and overall quality of life.
Testosterone replacement therapy involves the use of bioidentical testosterone pellets to bring your testosterone levels up to the optimal range. If you're concerned about your testosterone level, I can help you learn more about your options through testing and TRT treatment.
Naturopathic Doctor in Abbotsford
Finding the right doctor can be a challenge. As an experienced naturopathic doctor, I'm focused on providing effective, proven treatments that don't just address the symptoms of a problem, but also fix the root cause.

CoolSculpting in Abbotsford
Struggling to eliminate body fat? From the lower back to the waist, many men struggle to get rid of stubborn areas of body fat. These areas of fat often linger even if you follow a strict diet and exercise heavily, making it difficult to achieve the body you've always wanted.
CoolSculpting is a new, safe technology that uses cold to target fat cells in specific areas of the body, such as the "love handles" or waistline. Using Cool Sculpting, you can reduce fat cells from problem areas to enhance your appearance and improve your self-confidence.
Revitalizing Skin Care in Abbotsford
Have you noticed new smile lines or wrinkles starting to develop? Are you worried about acne, sun damage, and other common skin issues? Skin problems are often the result of other health issues, meaning that the best way to treat them is to focus on improving your overall health.
I offer a wide range of safe, effective skin treatments and products, from a complete line of skin care products to non-surgical treatments such as IPL laser skincare and the popular Vampire Facelift.
IV Infusions in Abbotsford
Interested in getting the maximum benefits from vitamins, minerals, and nutrients? IV infusions allow your body to absorb large amounts of important vitamins and minerals with none of the limitations of conventional oral supplements.
From boosting your immune system to revitalizing a sluggish metabolism, my customized IV infusions can target a wide range of unique conditions to improve your health, well-being, and quality of life.
HCG Weight Loss in Abbotsford
Are you struggling to lose weight? Losing weight -- and, more importantly, keeping it off once you've lost it -- is a difficult process that can require significant changes to your diet, lifestyle, activity level and habits.
Through the use of human chorionic gonadotropin, a naturally-occurring hormone known as HCG, you can achieve sustainable weight loss with only minor changes to your caloric intake and activity level.
Working with you, I can create a personalized weight loss program that incorporates HCG in combination with diet, exercise, and other healthy habits to help you lose weight and improve your physical health for the long term.
