ED2012 4/5 Reviews ED2012 Comedy Reviews
Al Pitcher – Tiny Triumphs (Gilded Balloon in association with JBJ Management)
By Lauren Houghton | Published on Monday 20 August 2012
A lot of comedians like to generate material from their own pessimism, but Al Pitcher has a glass half-full mentality. His act is centred around celebrating the small triumphs everyone has in life, the funny sights we see on the way to work, and the amusingly awkward moments that happen to us all. He keeps the audience entertained with humour that is neither vulgar nor crude, and interacts with everyone present, getting more excited and personable as the show progresses. The act is accompanied by a slide-show full of pictures taken on a walk through Edinburgh, showing the funny things that normally might be missed on the rushed journey from A to B. He's full of hilarious surprises.

Cartoon Network Launches Third Annual "Move It Movement" Tour To Help Solve the Problem of Childhood Obesity
17-Market Live Affiliate Summer Tour Presented in Partnership with President's Council on Fitness,
Sports & Nutrition and in Support of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! Initiative
Core Sponsor/Partners to Include Crayola, BGCA, NBA/WNBA FIT,
NFL PLAY 60 and The PGA of America
Cartoon Network announced today launch plans for its third annual MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR, a summer campaign targeting youth 6-14, in partnership with the President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition and in support of First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! initiative. The 17-market tour will launch officially June 10 in Atlanta - on the heels of National Physical Fitness & Sports Month in May - and travel throughout the country to prime family locations in 17 key markets, sponsored by local cable affiliates. The tour will ultimately make its way back to the Midwest, concluding Aug. 12 in Houston.
Presented in a themed, exciting and fun outdoor environment, the MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR will feature multiple activity and learning stations, incorporating such additional core partner organizations as the Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), NBA/WNBA FIT & NBA Hoop Troop, NFL PLAY 60 and The PGA of America. Two all-new national PSAs - one featuring Michelle Obama discussing how kids can get further involved with Let's Move! and the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA+) program - will premiere on Sunday, May 28, on Cartoon Network, CartoonNetwork.com, the partner's websites and Cartoon Network's Facebook page, which boasts more than eight million "friends." The second spot will highlight the upcoming 2012 tour overall, its components and online educational materials available at MoveItMovement.com. Joining Cartoon Network once again as an official sponsor of the 2012 tour is Crayola, which has been integrally involved with the MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR for three straight years.
"I'm proud to join Cartoon Network as we thank everyone who participated in our Presidential Active Lifestyle Award program," says First Lady Michelle Obama in the new PSA. "By finding the activities you love, and then getting up and getting active for an hour a day, you're showing the rest of us that being healthy isn't just good for you, it's fun, too."
"Cartoon Network is committed to utilize the power of our brand assets, unique resources and ongoing relationships to empower kids with relevant messages, one-of-a-kind experiences and impactful tools to live a more balanced and healthy lifestyle," said Stuart Snyder, president and COO of Cartoon Network. "This summer tour has become one of our favorite annual events as it provides us a great opportunity to interact with our core audience on a grassroots level. Kids tell us they love the activities, while parents say they truly appreciate our bringing this hands on event directly to their neighborhoods."
The MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR is part of Cartoon Network's long-established, award-winning pro-social efforts to provide support and encouragement in the ongoing battle against childhood obesity through such varied activities as daily recess, health & wellness education and active after-school involvement. The in-market traveling tour will be supported extensively by Cartoon Network and its participating cable affiliates. Top markets currently scheduled for the 2012 tour route include New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Detroit, Miami, Seattle, Phoenix, Tampa, Denver, Sacramento, Orlando, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.
In an effort to sustain daily fitness and positive nutritional behavior, Cartoon Network is again working with the President's Council on Fitness, Sport & Nutrition to promote youth and family registration and participation - both in-school and at after-school facilities - in the Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA+). The MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR will spotlight the PALA+ program at its own activity station, and feature it among Cartoon Network's on-air and digital platforms. PALA+ is the next phase of PALA designed to motivate Americans to make physical activity and healthy eating part of their everyday life. The physical activity requirements for PALA+ remain the same: 60 minutes/day for kids, 30 minutes/day for adults, five days a week for six out of eight weeks. The new nutrition component requires participants to add a weekly healthy eating goal and build upon those goals throughout the same six-week period. Individuals who achieve the physical activity and healthy eating goals will receive a certificate signed by the Council Co-chairs Drew Brees and Dominique Dawes.
"Play is so important to our children that it is considered a right of every child by the United Nations," said Alice Cahn, vice president of social responsibility for Cartoon Network. "The MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR and our year-long healthy-lifestyle activities provide inspiration and physical stimulation crucial to children's health and happiness."
Families planning to visit and participate in the MOVE IT MOVEMENT TOUR can enjoy a host of activities:
· NBA/WNBA FIT & NBA Hoop Troop - kids can demonstrate their fitness level by testing their basketball skills and shoot against the clock for prizes;
· The PGA of America Driving Range - drive the ball for accuracy and distance with The PGA driving range! Top scores are posted on the PGA Sports Authority leaderboard;
· Crayola - featuring a day to night-themed activity area, where kids can exercise their imagination creating their own sidewalk masterpieces using Kaleidoscope 3-D Chalk (TM), 3-D Sidewalk Chalk(TM) and Sidewalk Tattoos(TM), with new night time products Outdoor Glow Sand Ball(TM) and Glow Chalk(TM) on display to encourage night time creations at home;

The tour also will feature a Cartoon Network Chill Zone, a themed area to refuel (water) and recharge while sampling some of the best new programming, online activities and premium items from Cartoon Network. The Chill Zone also offers a green screen photo activity and a Stop Bullying: Speak Up pledge station.

Calverton Primary School has one Nursery class and three Reception classes, which form the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). During certain parts of each session children from the Nursery and Reception mix together and take part in the same activities. We have two Nursery sessions each day, AM Nursery's hours are 8.45 to 11.45 and PM Nursery's hours are 12.15 to 3.15.
There are seven areas of learning and development. Three areas are particularly crucial for igniting children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building their capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive. These three areas, the prime areas, are:
- communication and language;
- physical development; and
- personal, social and emotional development.
We also support children in four specific areas, which are:
- literacy;
- mathematics;
- understanding the world; and
- expressive arts and design.
The children in the EYFS learn through topic work – please see the curriculum overview to see what they will be finding out about each term. The Nursery and Reception classes follow the same theme each term but through a different strand.
Throughout the year the teaching staff collect evidence through conversations with your child, focused activities, pictures and child initiated play. These observations are kept in individual profiles and parents/carers are welcome to look through them at any time. Parents/cares are also encouraged to contribute evidence for the profiles through conversations and notes about things your child says and does outside of school.
The EYFS has Newham's Healthy Eating Award. This aims to tackle the poor dental rates and high obesity in the borough. Sugary snacks and drinks are discouraged on school premises and the Nursery children are offered a healthy snack each day which includes milk and water, fruit and a carbohydrate snack. If you would like any advice on healthy eating and packed lunches then please see Mrs Leung in the Nursery.
We need your help and you can do this in a few simple ways. Please make sure your child comes to school every day and on time. It's great to ask your child about the work they have been doing at school and please praise and encourage all of their efforts.
If you have any questions about the EYFS then please speak to your child's class teacher in the first instance. You are also welcome to speak with Miss Brunt, the Early Years Leader. You will also find lots of useful information at www.foundationyears.org.uk/parents which explains fully the requirements of the EYFS, how you can help as a parent carer and what you can expect from school.
Calverton Primary School EYFS Curriculum Map
|Autumn 1 – All about me

For the second year in a row the nursery has been awarded the Healthy Eating Award by the Early Start Community Nutrition Team (ESCNT), which is based in Newham. Children in the nursery learn about the importance of a healthy diet and exercise. The children also enjoy a nutritionally balanced snack every day, which they help to prepare. Favourite snacks include crackers with cheese, bread sticks with humus and plain popcorn. We also have access to free nutritional services for children aged 0-19, which are run by the ESCNT. If you would like further information on any of these services please speak to Mrs Fry in the nursery.

Tim Grierson on Will Smith, the Last Movie Star
Posted by Tim Grierson on
In film, there are very few sure things. But for a good long time, Will Smith was one of them. Over the span of 12 years, Smith had 12 movies that made over $100 million, and several of them — "Independence Day," "Men in Black," "I Am Legend," and "Hancock" — grossed more than $200 million. In fact, other than 1999's "Wild Wild West," it would be hard to say that any of his hits were commercial underperformers. His home runs didn't barely clearly the fence; when he set his mind to it, his shots would leave the stadium, landing somewhere in the parking lot.
He wasn't just a consistent box office success, though. I'd argue that from 1996 to 2008, no star of his magnitude was as dependably exciting an onscreen presence. It's not that he never made a bad film — "Hitch" and the "Bad Boy" movies aren't exactly world-class cinema — but even his weakest offerings were boosted by his endless charisma and unflagging belief that being a movie star is both a genuine thrill and a responsibility worth taking seriously. Whether it was his cocksure strut in "Independence Day," his effortless comic riffing in "Men in Black," or his focused intensity in "I Am Legend," Smith never seemed to be phoning it in. Quite the contrary, he was alive and energized by the challenge of each new project. And let's not ignore his more serious roles, in films like "Ali" and "The Pursuit of Happyness," where he proved up to the task of delivering layered, full-bodied performances without much difficulty. (As opposed to his pal Tom Cruise, Smith could go from blockbuster to artful drama without making too much of how strenuous it was for him. Where Cruise wants to be sure you see every ounce of his exertion, Smith simply glides.)
Smith's run was remarkable, not unlike watching Michael Jordan in his prime winning championship after championship. And like with Jordan, I would try to savor it as much as I could, knowing that, someday, it had to end.
Amazingly, that run has been over for four years now. If 2008 contained one of his great commercial triumphs, "Hancock," it also concluded with one of his rare box office misfires, the drama "Seven Pounds." In retrospect, the film's $70 million gross was hardly disastrous — it's not like they were making "I, Robot 2" — but its self-serious tone and what's-the-big-twist-going-to-be? storyline inspired a deadly backlash from critics who found "Seven Pounds" unforgivably manipulative and phony.
That was the last time we've seen Smith on screen, and I have to say we've all been poorer for his absence. It's not that movie stars have disappeared — Robert Downey Jr. is a fine Iron Man and Sherlock Holmes — but none of his peers have that particular sparkle that Smith brought to his roles. Watching one of his movies, you enjoyed seeing him, and there was an almost visceral electricity that came off him. Even back when he was part of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince in the late 1980s, he was something of a charm machine. His songs were hokey, but you couldn't help it: You just liked the guy. Same with his TV show. Though clearly ambitious, Smith never seemed like just an opportunistic hustler; there was this casual I'm-your-buddy air about him that made you root for Will Smith. And from his likable, underrated performance in 1993's "Six Degrees of Separation" onward, I've been rooting for the guy.
After years away promoting his kids Jaden and Willow like they were human spin-off series, Smith returns this weekend with "Men in Black 3." The decision to do a sequel for a franchise that hasn't produced a film in 10 years might seem like a safe choice, but in some ways it also reflects a reality: We've entered an era in which stars (though still important) aren't nearly as crucial as the brand name. At least for now, gone are the days when just about any movie Tom Cruise or Tom Hanks starred in would be a huge hit. As big a name as Johnny Depp is, he won't guarantee you millions of dollars unless he's doing a "Pirates of the Caribbean." (I'd even argue that, while Depp was certainly a factor in its success, "Alice in Wonderland" got a bigger boost from people's familiarity with the story.) More often than not, it seems these days that we go to movies because it's a sequel or prequel to something we know, not because it stars so-and-so.
That was never the case with a Will Smith film. Although he made films based on existing properties — "I, Robot," "I Am Legend," "Men in Black" — he was their selling point and their stamp of approval. In a way, it's almost like he transcended the films he was in; he himself was the franchise. Starring in "Men in Black 3" signals that perhaps he realizes that he's like so many of his fellow A-listers who need to make sure they align with a property people know. For folks like me who were drawn to movies because of the characters and the stars who played them, this is a depressing, dehumanizing turn of events.
Smith will be 44 in the fall, and he's no longer the young buck anymore. If his 12-year run was Jordanesque, then my fear is that his return will be akin to Jordan's after he canceled his retirement and took another stab at basketball. It'll still be good to have him around, but that ineffable magic will be gone. I hope I'm wrong. I'm sure Smith does, too.

We got into the habit years ago, when the older set were young, of letting the children have a sleep over every Friday night in the family room. This was fun for them and special - especially as we don't do sleep overs. ::snort::
Whe we moved to this house.....the practice stopped as we didn't have a family room...the girls left home...the older two boys work late and long and want to sleep comfortable on Friday night...but the younger ones miss it.
I got home last night at 12:30 a.m. and found this in the living room.
RESOLVED: I'll quit fussing about the cluttered living room and my loss of early Saturday solitary study time...and help them make this a memory. They need it.
It's now after 10:00 p.m. Mike still isn't home. The Hank the Cowdog/Adventures in Odyssey controversy has been mediated....I'm going to go read...either Escape or Commentaries. We shall see.

Firstly, it has been a glorious Autumn weekend here in Sydney and the riding was awesome. Which brings me to my story, not related to riding.
My chief riding buddy is my brother Marc. Now that he lives in Melbourne we don't get to ride together as often, as we are separated by some 900km. A year ago we all celebrated his marriage to my awesome sister-in-law. So it was a trip down to Melbourne that we all made looked forward to all year. For the wedding I was entrusted with only two tasks; witness the signing of the marriage certificate, and bring my brother and his future wife's overnight bag to the wedding reception.
The first task was easy, I got a look from the newlywed couple in the church and that was my cue to issue my autograph. The church ceremony was beautiful and went off without a hitch.
We returned back to the apartment we rented for the trip to drop off the Pok with his babysitter for the evening. This gave me a chance to pick up their overnight bag and make our way to the reception by taxi so we could enjoy a few glasses of wine for the night. It was a great venue in the middle of Albert Park on the lake.
Arriving at the venue we were greeted out of the taxi by the venue staff and the other guests who would be celebrating the wedding. We were keen to jump out and get stuck into the festivities, it was turning out to be a great wedding. I got the chance to mingle and talk to some of my family members while waiting for the bride and groom to arrive. It was when I was talking to my Aunt that I realised mid sentence that I had left the bride and groom's overnight bag in the boot of the taxi! Sh!t! I ran back to the doorman, leaving my Aunt to wonder what she must have said to offend me. By that stage 45 minutes had already passed.
So I told the doorman my dilemma, and he asked me how we had arrived? I told him that my mode of transport was a Melbourne taxi, and it was yellow. With that he let out a chuckle. See the image below.
So here is the thing, 99% of taxis in Melbourne are yellow! He asked me if I knew what taxi company it was from. Being from Sydney, I had no idea what companies operated taxis in Melbourne. All I knew was that it was a yellow taxi and it had a large boot with luggage in it.
The doorman said to me he would put a few calls out, but asked me to give him some time and don't tell the bridal party just yet.
Marc and Sal arrived after we took our seats. I informed my wife who reminded me of how stupid I was (absolving herself of any shared culpability – it was my job after all). As the speeches commenced and the entrees were served I was sweating it. I was not enjoying the wait, with no promise of a good ending. I cast many glances over to the doorman who just shook his head, indicating no luck so far.
As soon as the entrees were finished and there was a brief respite in the reception ceremonies I rushed over to the doorman to get the latest update. He had managed to contact all the major taxi companies and they said that they would put out a call to their drivers. But I had no idea whether the driver would be working through the night or finishing his shift. A lot of weekend taxi drivers call it quits before the drunken idiots decide they need a lift home. The sweat continued.
The reception party continued with the speeches, toasts, and main courses served. I was not relaxed at all. My wife continued to enjoy the evening, and with a few glasses of wine under the belt the story began to spread. Thankfully my brother and his wife did not get wind of it.
By the time two hours had gone and I was "bricking it". The music had started and I was thinking of all the negative outcomes, and there were many. Another half hour had passed and the doorman called me over to provide me an update. He started by saying, "We managed to find the driver, but…". I could not believe what I was hearing! But he got the response that he wanted, it was a wind up. They did manage to track the driver and the bag down. The bag was safely delivered and stashed away in the storage room for later use.
At that point I pulled out a $50 note and handed it to the doorman – he earned it. And their overnight bag had done a veritable evening tour of Melbourne city.
I could now finally enjoy the evening and have a beverage or two, while my wife proceeded to retell the story to any member of the family who was willing to listen (many). My brother and his wife were looking strangely at us and my wife in particular as they got a slight inkling that a funny story being told. Little did they know that it was at my expense.
The next day we all met up for post wedding drinks at the pub. I informed my brother and his new wife of what went on. He asked me why I even bothered telling him after the fact, and that ignorance would have been bliss.
I guess I got a lucky save.
Happy anniversary Marc and Sal!

A sanctuary is a place of safety. Traditionally, one can seek sanctuary from an enemy by sheltering in the sacred precincts of a religious building. Today, unfortunately as world events have shown, such places are no guarantee of safety at all.
A sanctuary is also a place associated with a saint. Italy is a country of saints and sanctuaries proliferate. Lucca, for example, has its sanctuary dedicated to Saint Gemma (see my post at https://longoio.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/saint-gemma-galgani-mystic-saint-or-mental-patient/ ). Often sanctuaries are larger and more imposing buildings than cathedrals. In Padua the extraordinary sanctuary dedicated to Saint Anthony (see my post at https://longoio.wordpress.com/2014/05/13/the-saint-of-lost-causes/) dominates the town in a way that the Duomo does not.
Parma's magnificent cathedral (the Correggio frescoes in its cupola are the precursor of the ascending-heavenly-angelic 3-D effects which characterize counter-reformation churches), which we visited on a previous trip to this city, still retains its primacy among religious edifices:
but coming a close second is the beautiful sanctuary of Santa Maria della Steccata (literally Saint Mary of the stockade) which I had missed out on the previous visit but was now able to see last week-end.
The sanctuary of Santa Maria della Steccata is also a basilica. At this stage one might rightly be confused about the terms duomo, cattedrale and basilica as applied in Italy. Let's try to explain their difference:
A basilica is, literally, 'the house of the king' and, thus, of the Lord. Its name derives from Greek 'Basileus' which signifies king and from 'oikos' which means house. Every church could thus be defined as a basilica but the Roman Catholic Church only gives to some the title of basilica (which could be a minor or major one) depending on their importance and artistic value. A basilica, furthermore must be able maintain the correct decorum in the practise of its religious rites.
A Duomo, from Latin 'Domus' meaning house, still remains the house of God and is the most important church in a town or city. It's usually originally built in gothic style with a firm emphasis on the vertical – aspirations going heavenwards.
A cattedrale (cathedral) is a Duomo located in a town or city which is also the seat of a bishop. In fact, the name cattedrale comes from Latin 'cathedra' meaning a throne – for that's where the bishop has his seat.
The Basilica of Santa Maria della Steccata, from 1718 the seat of the Constantinian Order of St. George (which is supposed to date back to its founding by the Roman Emperor Constantine) was constructed between 1521 and 1539 and in 2008 elevated to the rank of minor basilica. So it's both a sanctuary and a basilica but not a duomo or cattedrale. I hope that explains it now!
On the site of the present church a religious building existed since 1392 and an oratory was built to house a venerated image of St. John the Baptist painted in fresco on the outer wall of a house. The building became home to a brotherhood dedicated to the Virgin of the Annunciation and engaged in the distribution of dowries for poor girls and unmarried women who lacked paternal protection.
Towards the end of the fourteenth century a picture of the Madonna nursing the baby Jesus on the facade of the oratory was painted. This image soon became the object of special devotion on the part of the people of Parma Since the area of the building was protected by a fence, erected perhaps to control the flow of pilgrims, the Virgin began to be invoked under the title of 'Our Lady of the Steccata' (stockade).
In order to conserve the precious image, the congregants, in 1521, decided to build a large sanctuary. On April 4, 1521 the Bishop of Lodi, Nicola Urbani, laid the foundation stone of the present building. The work was entrusted to the architects Bernardino and Giovan Francesco Zaccagni from Torrechiara, who had already directed the construction of the town's abbey church of St. John. From 1525 work continued under Gian Francesco d'Agrate. The dome was raised, however, between 1526 and 1527 by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, who was sent to Parma from Pope Clement VII where he had been involved in the construction of the new Saint Peter's basilica…
The church was consecrated on February 24, 1539 by Cardinal Ciocchi Gian Maria del Monte, papal legate of the duchies of Parma and Piacenza.
The building's plan is a Greek cross, with transepts placed on the cardinal axes. Between the cross's arms there are four quadrangular chapels. The church is, indeed, very similar to the original plan for Saint Peter's in Rome before Maderna changed that building's Michaelangeloesque plan into the more generally accepted Latin cross, with a long nave better suited to liturgical purposes.
The interior is decorated with seventeenth century frescoes of the Parma school. The entire pictorial decoration was initially entrusted to Parmigianino, but only he managed to paint a few frescoes depicting the three wise
and the three foolish virgins.
The decoration was continued by Michelangelo Anselmi, who painted the frescoes of the Coronation of the Virgin in the eastern apse (designed by Giulio Romano),
and Bernardino Gatti, who painted the Assumption of Mary in the dome.
The interior is permeated with a rich and mystic atmosphere intensified by the arrival of many pilgrims while I was there. It's pure frozen music and would, in fact, make a wonderful ambience for such works as Palestrina's polyphonic masses.
I was also able to visit the sacristy which I would rate as one of the most beautiful of any visited in Italy. The wood carving of the cupboards containing the priest's vestments is supreme and their contents, richly embroidered by an enclosed order of nuns, is quite heavenly. Photography is not encouraged so you'll have to imagine much of it. However, here are some shots I took of this opulent room:
Equally interesting is the crypt. In 1823, at the behest of Marie Luigia of Austria, a crypt was built to preserve the tombs of the dukes and princes of the houses of Farnese and Bourbon-Parma (the ashes were transferred from the church of Santa Maria Del Tempio). Here there's a connection with the crypt of the Hapsburgs we saw in Vienna quite a few years back,
for Maria Luigia was herself a member of this great Austrian dynasty of the Hapsburgs.
The basilica has two magnificent organs.
The Antegnati organ dates back to 1574. The Antegnati were a Brescian family of organ builders who were active between the end of the fifteenth and the start of the eighteenth century. The organ was restored in 1778 by Antonio Negri Poncini and again by the now defunct Tamburini firm of organ builders in 1970.
The second organ was built by Carlo Vegezzi-Bossi in 1892 and restored in 1940, again by Tamburini.
It would be fantastic to hear these organs. Next visit perhaps?

First, not to fear. The chances of a killer coming to one of us is very, very small. Life style make a big difference. Where you live and where you drive make a difference. Weather, sports, politics all make a difference
The folks in Orlando did what everybody's first reaction is. They ran. If they couldn't then they hid. Then just waited while more people were shot around them.
I am not criticizing them. One only knows how they will react after finding themselves in a situation like this. And these were young folks. They had only seen things like this on TV. A little panic goes a long way.
The normal reaction when cornered for most animals is to fight. But for humans it seems it is acceptance. We shut down. For some almost like going into shock. We need to change.
We fight Cancer and other diseases on a personal level. The passengers of United Airlines Flight 93, fought back against the hijackers. We need to fight against a killer.
If death is imminent we have to overcome the fear and attack. The shooter will have to shoot me while I am coming for him not while I am laying on the floor.
I see photos of people being shot while they kneeled and waited for it. The Khmer Rouge (which never had more that 50,000 fighters) executed over 1,000,000 people. They had some stand in line and club the person in front of them.
Why? Stand up. Spit in their eye. C'mon folks, lets roll.

Some of Adolf Hitler's last surviving relatives have been living under the radar on Long Island for decades, according to a new report.
Hitler's great-nephews Alexander, Louis and Brian Stuart-Houston, sons of Hitler's nephew, William Patrick Hitler, who was born in the UK to the Fuehrer's half-brother, Alois Hitler Jr., live quiet lives in the New York suburbs and fly American flags in their yards, according to Germany's Bild newspaper.
William joined the US Navy to fight in World War II and later changed the family's name — first to Hiller and then Stuart-Houston, according to Bild.
In his first public interview in over a decade, one of William's sons, Alexander Stuart-Houston, whose middle name is Adolf, revealed that a family member planned to marry a Jewish girlfriend, but that she called off the engagement. Stuart-Houston did not specify which brother, and did not identify the Jewish fiancee.
And although he and his brothers are all staunch Republicans, Alexander said he doesn't care for the current president.
"The last person I would say I admire is Donald Trump. He is definitely not one of my favorites," he told the newspaper.
"Some things that Trump says are all right. Most of them are …," he added, trailing off, when asked what he doesn't like about Trump. "It's the way he does it that annoys me. And I just don't like liars."

Expert: Tori Cordiano, Ph.D.
Question: My daughter was sexting boys who she hardly knew. She did not send any photos (only sexting language), although one boy did ask her to send a picture of her breasts, but she did not. We spoke with her and she said doing it to "fit in." What do we do now and how do we prevent future incidents?
If your daughter came to you with this issue, first acknowledge her trust in you and commend her for initiating a difficult conversation. The safe and responsible use of technology is a conversation that needs to be revisited many, many times, and the conversation is different depending on the age of your child and the issue at hand. In response to your daughter's sexting, some of the important points to emphasize include:
The fake sense of intimacy that is easily established through texting: Teens can be easily made to feel as if they are having a private conversation via text messages, when in fact, their conversations can be (and often are) shared with a wide number of people.
The public, permanent nature of any digital communication: Teens often struggle to understand that any digital message—from their "liking" a Facebook status to a picture they send via text—can be forever preserved and shared with anyone at anytime. Younger teens especially may not have a clear sense of the gravity of sexting. Share with your teen that this action is illegal, on both sides, and can have quite serious consequences.
The relationship between her actions and their consequences: This is a point to revisit frequently with children and teens of any age, and not just in reference to technology. It is one of the most important jobs of parents to teach children about the relationship between their actions and the consequences of those actions. With regard to technology, this means that responsible behavior (e.g., completing homework, obeying curfew, telling the truth) results in more adult privileges, such as having one's own phone.
In order to help your daughter effectively manage technology moving forward, it will be important to have frequent conversations about each of these topics as they arise. Luckily, there will be plenty of opportunities for this to occur!
Although parents are often concerned about "snooping" on their children's private lives, when it comes to teens and technology, it helps to establish an open relationship from the start. You should have access to your teen's phone and internet accounts, and your teen should expect that you may regularly check those accounts. Again, this is an opportunity for your teen to make the connection between positive behavior (e.g., responsible use of technology) and positive consequences (e.g., more privacy and technology privileges).
Most importantly, try to maintain a sense of calm during these conversations with your daughter. When teens feel supported and believe that their parents will listen to them and think with them about these big issues, they will be more likely to come to their parents about issues big and small.

MIB Band
Are you seeking a online casino australia no deposit bonus for their...
Absolute quality? Outstanding Musicianship? World-wide success at functions all over the globe, including the Royal Wedding in April 2011?
Flexibility to suit your individuality as a customer? Varied casino automatenspiele kostenlos a dynamically designed playlist of both modern and classic party tunes?
MIB have built up an outstanding reputation over the years and continue to hold their status as one of the UKs top bands, not only performing all over the country but also in world-wide destinations such as Dubai, Italy, Brussells, France, South Africa, Romania, Egypt....and Kazakhstan! MIB were privileged to have been the only band to perform in Hyde Park for the Royal Wedding of Prince William & Princess Katherine. This went down in history as the UK's largest ever gig, performing to 300,000 people!
The band have an exceptional wealth of knowledge and experience, using top UK session players who play for artists such as The Spice Girls, Take That, Robbie Williams, Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse, James Morrisson, Beyonce, Gloria Gaynor, Jools Holland...to name only a few! This means that when you book MIB you are guaranteed outstanding musicianship, from players who have played all over the world to audiences hundreds of thousands of people!
As a band, MIB have been booked to play for clients as prestigious as (to name a few): Coca Cola, Pepsi Max, OK Magazine, Lloyds TSB, Marks and Spencer, Waitrose, HSBC, ABN Ambro, IBN, Boots, KFC, Red Letter Days, Stanley Tools, The Sun newspaper, Mitsibushi, Yamaha, The Daily Mail....
The band pride themselves on playing a hugely diverse range of music, and understand that not everyone wants to hear the same old songs that the majority of function bands play! While featuring all the classics from the 50s,60's,70's and 80's, the band also include a more modern selection of music from the present day, which means MIB can cater for audiences of any age!
MIB realise that every event is different, therefore we can tailor make our line-up to suit most sizes of room / audiences / budgets.
We currently offer:
5 piece band (female vocals, guitar, bass, keyboards, drums)
6 piece band (as 5 piece plus one saxophonist as standard, or male vocalist)
7 piece band (as 5 piece plus dynamic two piece brass section)
8 piece band (as 7 piece plus male vocalist)
9 piece band (as 8 piece plus an extra female vocalist)
10 piece band (as 9 piece an additional saxophonist)
11 piece band (as 10 piece plus a percussionist)
12 piece band (as 11 piece plus an extra male vocalist)
(These line-ups are flexible, eg. if you would prefer your 7 piece band to have a saxophonist and a male vocalist that's no problem!)
This means MIB can be booked in full as a 12 piece band! This is not to be missed for high level corporate events and larger weddings!
Song list
In our experience, we find that the band is at its strongest when we can let the playlist 'flow' according to how the evening is going. This means we can really tailor the set to the mood and tastes of your guests! It also means we can structure the setlist best according to which line-up you've booked (for example if you've booked the 7 piece band perhaps we'd add in more brass-heavy songs). So, we've developed this set-list as a rough idea of the options we like to be able to choose from. It's best to stick to this rough structure that our MD has designed, and leave us to be able to tailor things on the night, however if there's any songs you don't like (or any missing that you love!) please do let us know and we'll put something together especially for you.

'Sera Golding and the MiB Band took our international awards gala dinner to a new level. From the opening Buddha Bar set during the welcome reception to live walk-up music through to a sensational dance act followed by a 'must-dance' set by the full band, everyone's experience was enhanced by our choice of band. Our event attracted 500 guests from 51 countries with representatives of all the top non-alcoholic drinks companies including Coke and Pepsi. We have had dozens of comments about the quality of the whole event and particularly the band.
Deciding to add 'live' walk up music for the awards presentation itself was a first for us, and the decision proved totally right. The 'stabs' ranged from intense to amusing – our Managing Editor walked up to the Mission Impossible theme! – and caused one of our guests to remark that it was 'just like the Oscars'... On the sheer entertainment side of things, check out this band. They are awesome.
On the business and event organising side, I have to say that Sera Golding and the MiB Band offer tremendous value for money, backed by the highest levels of professionalism and heaps of clear and concise communication. It was great to run an event where such a key element was not on the worry list. The guys were so up for it and so on top of their game that several people asked if we it was 'our usual band', thinking that we must have worked together before !
All I can say is that we can't wait to work with this band again.... ' Bill Bruce, Beverage Innovation Awards
Just to say many thanks to all the band for playing at our wedding. Lots of comments from our friends saying they thought you were fantastic and really enjoyed the music. Thank you. Meryl Berger, Wedding

Telemedicine plans expand to include specialists
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Telemedicine is a vital part of employer health plans as employees are embracing virtual doctor visits more than ever. Nearly 60% of employers with 500 or more employees provide telehealth services in their medical plans, and access to these services doubled between 2015 and 2016, according to a recent AHIP study. The most popular medium for telehealth is telephone (59%) followed by email (41%) and text messaging (29%)
AHIP reports that telehealth is delivered and accessed via three methods. Real-time video, or synchronous conversation, leads the way where the patient and medical practitioner interact via video with audio. The second method is "store-and-forward" for asynchronous conversations, where a patient sends a doctor or specialist a scan or image of a test result. The third method is "remote patient monitoring" that offers continuous tracking of healthcare data from a patient.
Via these methods, telehealth plans are offering access to medical specialists. Employee Benefit News spoke with Chris Regal, senior health research associate for AHIP, about the role specialists are playing in the telehealth landscape and why they thrive virtually like their fellow primary care doctors and nurse practitioners. What follows is an edited version of that conversation.
Employee Benefit News: When we think of telehealth, we usually think of virtual visits with nurses and primary care doctors. Are more specialists seeing patients via telehealth these days?
Chris Regal: Yes. One thing we see is primary care, or basically [medical professionals] trying to keep people out of ER settings or urgent care settings, but we are definitely seeing growth particularly in behavioral health. One plan our report highlighted offers multiple time allotments, whether it's 30, 45 or 60 minutes, for behavioral health access. Additionally, we've seen specialist access through dermatology. One of the favorite anecdotes was with regard to nutrition services. A nutritionist had a patient take their cellphone that they were facetiming the patient with, and walk them through their refrigerator to help plan meals.
Some benefit plan advisers are telling us they are helping with weight management and medication management as well. There are a variety of specialist services being accessed.
EBN: Are there certain disciplines of medicine or specialties that don't lend themselves to telehealth?
Regal: Some services do require hands-on visits. When someone uses a telehealth service and they think they need to go to an urgent care facility, they will make that recommendation.
EBN: How does seeing a specialist via telehealth work? Is this considered a second opinion where you have to go to a primary care doctor first who then says yes, you can go see a specialist?
Regal: From a plan perspective, in a lot of cases the plans contract with third-party specialists. Some of the more common ones are Teladoc, MDLive, Doctor on Demand, and through these services, the plan contracts with a large network of doctors and specialists. If your plan allows for this, they are providing access to a network of doctors who are licensed to practice in your state and that is covered under the plan.
EBN: Do regulations for overseeing telehealth vary state by state? Will we see a national policy when it comes to telehealth medical professionals?
Regal: Right now, it is state by state. There are pretty wide variances where one state will allow whether you need to see a doctor in person in order to have a follow up [and another will not.] Some states require very specific payment rules. There is a national policy that's pretty restrictive for Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans are a little more open but Medicare itself is pretty tight.
EBN: We're in the midst of an opioid crisis. How do you prevent people from gaming the system and shopping for doctors who will give them narcotics?
Regal: One of the major benefits we have heard is that information from the telehealth plan goes directly into [patient plan and medical records] so you wouldn't be able to have somebody see the six different doctors. This is all being recorded and that doctor or specialist will be able to access your records when you have a visit with them.
EBN: Who's pushing for this, the benefit advisers or employers?
Regal: Everyone is moving in the same direction. The employees, employers, benefit advisers and the plans themselves are seeing that this is the wave of the future. We've seen the innovation come from the provider side, the plan side and in some cases employers are asking for that. The plans are really helping to innovate with this adoption. The ultimate goal for all parties is to expand access and be as hospitable as possible to patients.

Head Suprime Instinct Ti (2017)
Rating: / 5
Price: $700.00
Year: 2017
Gender: Female
Waist Width: 74
Tip/Tail/Waist: 127-74-110
Lengths: 149, 156, 163, 170
The 2017 Supreme Instinct Ti is an easygoing and affordable member of Head's Instinct line of groomed-snow carvers. It's narrow 74-mm waist width keeps it quick and light, with secure edge grip on Eastern hardpack. (For soft Western groomers, check out the 83-mm Strong Instinct, which has a bit more flotation.) The Supreme's deep sidecut (13 meters) serves up can't-miss carves for learners who properly tip and pressure it. The Instinct series is a five-model collection of narrow-waisted frontside generalists, ranging in width from 83 mm down to 74 mm. With widths and sidecut radii comparable to those in the Supershape series of high-performance groomed-snow carvers, the Instincts are similarly designed primarily for on-trail duty. But lacking Head's KERS technology (real-time, on-demanded stiffening and relaxing of flex using piezoelectronic electricity), they're both less expensive and less demanding, better suited to slower speeds. The top two models (Power and Raw) are edgy, durable wood-core laminate constructions. The bottom three models (Strong, Supreme, and Natural) are lightweight, economical injected-foam-core layups appropriate to novice and intermediate skiers. New this year, all incorporate Head's graphene-infused-laminate technology, which Head originally introduced in its women's skis. The super thin/strong Nobel-prize winning material adds strength without much extra weight or thickness, allowing Head to optimize ski profile thicknesses (thinner and more flexible underfoot, thicker and grippier tip and tail). A touch of tip rocker gives all Instincts a looser, easygoing tip engagement and some terrain-smoothing shock absorption. All models are sold as ski-and-binding systems, with Tyrolia-built bindings ranging from a sturdy 12-DIN on the top two models down to a lightweight, less-expensive 10-DIN on the bottom one. Head Skis is owned by a Dutch company that also owns Tyrolia bindings. Its factory headquarters are in Kennelbach, Austria; U.S. headquarters are in Boulder, Colo. Head was founded in 1950 by American recreational skier and aeronautical engineer Howard Head, who is acknowledged as the first ski designer to successfully combine metal and plastics in ski design. -J.C.

The first important lesson of the school year is packing a safe lunch. All it takes is a quick refresher course:
- Remember to always keep it clean. Wash your hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds before and after handling food. Use hot water and soap to make sure food preparation surfaces and utensils are clean.
- Perishable items (sandwiches, fresh fruit) and shelf-stable items (crackers, packaged pudding) need to be kept chilled to reduce risk of foodborne illness.
- Rinse all fresh fruits and vegetables under running tap water. Blot dry with a paper towel.
- Prepare sandwiches or other perishable items the night before. Store lunch items in the refrigerator until your child is ready to go to school.
- Insulated, soft-sided lunch totes are best for keeping perishable foods chilled. A cold source, such as a small frozen gel pack or frozen juice box, should be packed with perishable foods. Frozen gel packs will keep foods cold until lunchtime, but are not recommended for all-day storage.

"Santorum Girls" Haley And Camille Harris Sing Song For GOP Candidate Rick Santorum
I remember girls like this. They were the perky ones from Sunday School you had to hang out with because your moms knew each other.
They'd tell on you for smoking cigarettes and feel righteous about it, even after you covered for them while they were getting fingerblasted through Jordache jeans in the church basement during the youth group sleepover.
It's okay, though. Jesus forgave them. They were true believers, the kind of candy-headed twits who would shed genuine tears whenever some tie-dyed youth minister told that insufferably retarded story about footprints in the sand.
I never knew quite what to say around them, because every conversation led back to Jesus, praise the lord and hallelujah! It was awkward. They weren't bad people, just blindly earnest and completely full of shit.
I learned quickly that their ignorance really was bliss. There was no saving them from being saved. It was better just to nod and smile and dream of the day I could finally move the fuck out to Los Angeles.
That's all well and good, because I get to watch this ridiculous YouTube clip from a thousand miles away, safely ensconced in the land of godless liberals. I'm so glad I escaped that kind of life. What a holy nightmare.
No hard feelings, though. I wish the all Haleys and Camilles of the world continued bliss, and short of that, I hope the abortion that statistically one of them will end up getting is safe, legal, and covered by insurance.
"When a girl CAN wear a bathing suit like this, it's her DUTY to do so? Come on, now. I'm sure you've gotten a pretty large response from the Tumblr feminists for that one, but even I'm surprised at you. Since when is it a woman's duty to wear anything she doesn't want to?"
The line is an intertitle card from Cecil B DeMille's 1920 silent comedy, Why Change Your Wife? The photograph is a Venice Beach fashion shot from the Roxy High Summer 2010 Collection. The combination of the two images is obviously a juxtaposition open to interpretation.
Perhaps it's a commentary on a century's worth of prescriptive modesty standards that anyone with half a brain and a sense of humor should be able to smirk at. Then again, perhaps I was just poking a stick at those who seriously consider themselves "Tumblr feminists." Who knows? I'm a fuckin' mystery.
Either way, I hope your question is rhetorical, because you really don't want me to start listing the many ways it has always been and continues to be a woman's duty to wear shit she doesn't want to.
Part of last night's costume. Halloween fun fact: fishnets and chain mail don't mix. Snag city, kids. Lesson learned.
"…so just when I thought I was finished picking glitter out of David Bowie's foreskin, Warhol tells me the camera ran out of film. That meant two more hours of listening to von Fürstenberg chew ice and complain about her razor burn. We ended up having to get fresh sushi for all the midgets and before you know it, the sun was up. I mean, seriously, do you know how slippery the leather gets on the booths at Studio 54? What am I talking about, of course you know. Ugh, I'm so hung over…"
So yeah, ultra-right wing christian nutballs are slowly eroding women's rights, but the good news is I could probably sell a few of these t-shirts.

Patients with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin could be exposed to a greater risk of health complications including heart attack, stroke, cancer and eye complications a new study has found.
Examining the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) - data that characterises about 10% of the UK population - a team of researchers from Cardiff University's School of Medicine looked at the risk of death for patients taking insulin compared with other treatments designed to lower blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
The team's epidemiological study found people have greater risk of individual complications associated with diabetes such as heart attack, stroke, eye complications and renal disease when compared with patients treated with alternative glucose-lowering treatments.
"Insulin treatment remains the most longstanding blood-glucose-lowering therapies for people with type 2 diabetes, with its use growing markedly in recent years," according to Professor Craig Currie from Cardiff University's School of Medicine, who led the study.
"However, with new diabetes therapies and treatments emerging there has been a new spotlight on treatments to ensure what the best and safest form of diabetes treatment is.
"By reviewing data from CPRD between 1999 and 2011 we've confirmed there are increased health risks for patients with type 2 diabetes who take insulin to manage their condition," he adds.
The study adds to previous findings which identified potential health risks of insulin in this specific group of people.
Initial concerns were first raised regarding the use of insulin in type 2 diabetes from a population-based study in Canada, which reported a three-fold increase in mortality.
A similar study of people in UK primary care with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin also reported a 50% risk of increased mortality compared with another common treatment regimen.
Professor Currie adds: "Patients currently being treated with insulin should not, under any circumstances, stop taking their medications, and it is important to emphasise that this report related to only type 2 diabetes which typically starts in older people who are overweight.
"Each patient's individual circumstances are different and treatment decisions are managed by their clinician with all of their medical history fully considered.
"The vast majority of people who take insulin will experience no adverse effects and it remains a reliable and common form of treatment worldwide but this study shows that we need to investigate this matter urgently and the drug regulatory authorities should take interest in this issue.
"Anyone who is concerned should speak to their GP first before taking any action on managing their condition."
Mortality and Other Important Diabetes-Related Outcomes With Insulin vs Other Antihyperglycemic Therapies in Type 2 Diabetes was published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Computer games are exceptionally prominent among offspring of the considerable number of ages. What's more, because of our tech pace world, it is proceeding to become significantly more. Youngsters and even the grown-ups discover computer games as their method of stimulation. They play these recreations at whatever point they are getting exhausted or need to take a short break from their work and studies.
These diversions attempt to change the brain and inclination of people and they feel much casual than previously. Because of its consistently developing interest, researchers have inquired about to discover the impacts of computer games on human brains.
Computer games and changes in mind
It has been discovered that gaming can cause changes in numerous districts of the cerebrum. Studies demonstrate some basic changes in the cerebrum because of computer games and furthermore a few changes in mind usefulness and conduct.
1. Increment consideration
We require center and consideration while playing a diversion else, we will lose it. Accordingly, computer games have brought about enhancing a few sorts of consideration in individuals, including particular consideration and maintained consideration. Besides, consideration looking for districts of the cerebrum are more proficient in gamers when contrasted and non-gamers, and they require less actuation to remain concentrated on different errands.
2. Size of the cerebrum
Playing computer games has additionally appeared to build the size and fitness of the parts of the cerebrum that are in charge of visuospatial aptitudes (capacity to recognize visual and spatial connections among objects). With long haul gamers who have taken after a diversion preparing plan, their correct hippocampus has been broadened.
3. Gaming addicts
When looking at gaming addicts, there are some basic and utilitarian adjustments in the neural reward framework (a gathering of structures related with feeling joy, inspiration, and learning). When we uncover these computer game addicts to any amusement related flags or signs, it causes longings and furthermore screens their mind's reactions.
4. Help support your memory
Cerebrum preparing amusements even help in boosting the arrangements of recollections of a person.

5. Declining in cerebrum related ailments
When we discuss the maladies, every single individual needs an infection free life. Imagine a scenario where, it should be possible with the assistance of a computer game.
Truly, technique based diversions, have appeared to advance a change in mind working among more seasoned grown-ups and may give some insurance against Alzheimer's ailment and dementia. Likewise, a little mind preparing can switch a portion of the age-related cerebrum decay.
By and large, these recreations end up being profitable as it is a pressure buster, enhances mind working, cures ailments, other than being a wellspring of amusement. Be that as it may, there is dependably a moment side of a coin. Here, investing excessively energy playing the computer game can be destructive for kids and grown-ups. Discussing the youngsters, it can hamper their investigations while debilitating their vision as these diversions are played on a screen. What's more, grown-ups can hamper their work while playing the recreations at workplaces.

U.S. reopens freeway access into Mexico after Tijuana gas protest
– San Diego Union-Tribune
"Continuing unrest over gasoline price hikes in Mexico flared up at the Tijuana border crossing Saturday night as a large protest prompted U.S. authorities to block access into Mexico from San Ysidro for nearly four hours.
Southbound Interstates 5 and 805 began to reopen to motorists wanting to cross the border about 9:15 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol.
The demonstration at Tijuana's El Chaparral port of entry was among several held throughout Mexico Saturday — including a protest that turned violent outside a Rosarito Beach gasoline distribution center.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials and the California Highway Patrol began diverting southbound I-5 and I-805 traffic about 5:30 p.m. "to support the government of Mexico's inbound (vehicle inspection) operation," said Customs spokesman Ralph DeSio.
Motorists were diverted onto state Route 905, and those wanting to enter Mexico were directed to the port of entry at Otay Mesa.
San Diego police noted 45 minutes later that southbound traffic on I-805 had backed up to Main Street in Chula Vista.
Pedestrians were still allowed to cross south.
Traffic going north from Mexico into the United States at the San Ysidro Port of Entry remained open and was being processed as usual, an official said.
Protesters had taken over inspection lanes of El Chaparral earlier in the afternoon.
Tijuana resident Mario Osuna said videos of the demonstration on Facebook showed several hundred protesters had swarmed Mexican customs officials at El Chaparral and were waving southbound travelers through without having to stop for vehicle inspections or to pay taxes on purchases made in the U.S.
Osuna said the protesters were not blocking cars.
"The situation down here is kind of getting out of control," said Osuna, who works in online marketing and sales.
The protest was organized on Facebook by a Baja California student group, said demonstrator Israel Castellon, 30, a law student. He objected to President Enrique Peña Nieto's move to deregulate the country's energy sector, causing the gasoline price increase.
"Peña Nieto is not my president. He has carried out stupid reforms that have been harmful to citizens and benefited politicians or those from the privileged classes," Castellon said. "Those who have been hurt are those who have the least."
At 8:30 p.m., about three-dozen protesters who remained left the ghostly quiet port of entry. They sang the Mexican national anthem and chanted in Spanish: "The people united shall never be defeated." They promised to return Sunday.
On Wednesday in Arizona, similar protests led Mexican authorities to close the border crossing at Nogales, Sonora, for southbound traffic.
Such hard border closures are rare and usually stem from officer-involved shootings, as was the case twice in 2014, or bomb scares.
In 2013, about 300 teachers from Tijuana protesting federal educational reforms blocked several northbound traffic lanes at San Ysidro for about an hour.
Also Saturday, in northern Rosarito Beach, a five-day protest outside the region's main storage facility turned violent when a man drove a truck into a group of officers posted nearby.
Video showed a small yellow pickup driving straight into the line of riot police, then backing up and speeding off.
Eight officers were injured, two of them seriously, said Pedro Hernandez, commissioner for the Federal Police in Baja California. Hours after the early morning incident, hundreds of state, federal and local police descended on demonstrators who since Monday had been blocking access to the facility."

"Yoga's actually proven to help students focus," said Emily Gantes, a 4th grade teacher at Evans Ranch Elementary. "It helps them to relax. It helps them to calm down."
Calm is good. But there's also a few other good reasons to make like a warrior or cobra.
"Anybody can do it," said Gantes. "Anybody can be successful because you're really only focusing on yourself."
Taking the competitive angle out of P.E. is a big theme right now so that all sizes and fitness levels feel comfortable enough to work together.
Some liken this to kiddie coffee. Kids are getting activity in 8 minutes before the first class.
"California requires 100 minutes per week," said Grand View Elementary Principal Rhonda Steinberg. "So this takes care of 40 minutes and then there's another structured 60 minutes of P.E."
Steinberg says the 8 minute morning workout saves time as kids are marked tardy if they aren't jumping on their spot at 8:15.
"There's 6 minutes of vigorous activity followed by 2 minutes of calm stretching," said Donna Murany of Beach Cities Health District.
Live Well Kids started as part of a youth obesity prevention program. It became popular at schools needing to get their fitness fix fast. There's jogging, jump rope and more with about 8 to 12 seconds per move. The result is a drop in overall body mass index by 3 percent. Those are pretty good stats for a mere 8 minutes.
"They've gotten the wiggles out and are ready to learn," said Steinberg.
And while the Jammin' Minute doesn't count as P.E., it has kept over 6000 students active nationwide.
"When we are in the middle of a lesson and I see the kids are drifting off I say, 'It's time to get our jam on,'" said a teacher from Winnetka Elementary.
"We actually have junior high and high school coaches saying, "What's the deal, because your kids can run, they have stamina," said McKinley Elementary Principal Janette Neumann.

Jennifer Dulos' family: 'This situation is real, and it is dire'
NEW CANAAN — It's been four weeks since Jennifer Dulos was reported missing — and her family on Friday said the situation is "dire."
"None of this feels real. We tell ourselves that this kind of nightmare happens to people in stories, not to those we know and love," the family's statement said.
"But this situation is real, and it is dire," the family said. "Each passing day intensifies the impact of this tragedy on Jennifer's children, who have not seen their mother — the guiding presence in their lives — in 28 days."
The family said they are "immensely grateful" to the dedication of police investigating the case and also thanked the New Canaan and Farmington-Avon communities, "who have buoyed our spirits with their support and solidarity."
The family also offered some insight about Jennifer Dulos.
"Many people have asked for more details about Jennifer, as a person, a mom, a friend. Jennifer is brilliant and creative — she graduated with honors from Brown University and earned an MFA in writing from NYU," the family said. "As a teen, she was a nationally ranked junior squash player. Much more important, Jennifer is a deeply genuine person, compassionate and trustworthy.
"She is also subtly hilarious," the family's statement continued. "She loves silly movies as much as she loves great literature. An avid traveler, she delights in learning about other people and has imbued her five children with this love of discovery. She cares about her children more than anything in the world."
The family said the five Dulos children "are safe and surrounded with love."
Jennifer Dulos' mother, Gloria Farber, has filed a motion to intervene in the divorce case between Jennifer and Fotis Dulos, and is
"They are embodying what Jennifer has taught them: to support each other with unity," the family said. "If she could see them right now, she would be extremely proud."
New Canaan and state police have conducted daily searches and received nearly 1,000 tips, but there still has been no sign of the 50-year-old mother of five.
New Canaan Police Lt. Jason Ferraro said Friday that police continue to focus their search on a Hartford garbage dump after they say her estranged husband was seen on video tossing bags of trash in that city the night she disappeared.
"Physical evidence that was collected through this investigation has been or will be submitted to the state forensic lab for further examination," Ferraro said.
Ferraro said the search of the trash facility — the Materials Innovation and Recycling Authority, or MIRA — "should be concluded in the very near future."
"This is a tedious process and requires careful examination of each item for any connection to the disappearance of Jennifer," Ferraro said. "An exact ending date for the search taking place at MIRA is not known at this time."
As the search for evidence in Jennifer Dulos' disappearance continues, Fotis Dulos is preparing to hire a new lawyer in the couple's bitter divorce case.
Fotis Dulos' divorce lawyer, Michael Rose,
But the hearing may not happen if Fotis Dulos hires a new lawyer — or files paperwork to represent himself, which he has previously done in the case.
At a June 11 hearing, another lawyer, Rich Rochlin, said he would now be representing Fotis Dulos in the divorce. But as of Thursday, he had not yet been officially hired.
It's unclear whether Farber's request will be discussed if Monday's hearing goes forward.
Hearst Connecticut Media left messages for the lawyers involved in the case Thursday, which marked two years since Jennifer Dulos filed for divorce in 2017 after nearly 13 years of marriage.
Jennifer Dulos' initial divorce filing said she feared Fotis Dulos, and that during the course of the marriage he had told her of
Fotis Dulos, 51, and his girlfriend, Michelle Troconis, 44, are free on bail on charges of tampering with evidence and hindering prosecution in connection with the items found in the trash.
Troconis is due back in court on July 18, while Fotis Dulos is scheduled to return to state Superior Court in Stamford on Aug. 2.
