Iron Dan
I Comand You to Grow!
Day 22 - Light Day
Hamstrings feel like a struck match - LIT UP! There are basically zero high speed movements during Ragnarok. So after my first dynamic day, this makes total sense. Since My lift won't be very entertaining today, I give you Tayler G...
Ragnarok Growing Pains?!?!
As previously mentioned, Ragnarok has a significant impact on one's body. Specifically, it causes extreme hunger, sleepiness, fatigue, and even GI distress. While driving to the gym, my stomach was in knots. The feeling was comparable to what one might feel a couple hours after competing in a bean and cheese burrito eating competition. Ragnarok is evil. It will beat you up inside and out, and its effects extend before and after each grueling session.
On this day, I was able to train at an actual athletic club (vs Anytime fitness), so the first few minutes were spent trying to locate a squat rack. Once I found it, it was on. I crushed squats and RDLs. My lower back was pumped but it wasn't yet debilitating. The challenge with step ups, again, wasn't with the reps, but rather with my inability to catch my breath after the reps.
I'm convinced that Ragnarok workouts restrict oxygen to the brain which causes lapses in the ability to count. Between sets of bench, while I was changing the weight, I swore I was seeing bright lights. I was on the verge of fainting, no doubt about it. Usually mental lapses come later in the workout, but this one came on my third set of bench press. Instead of the prescribed 195 lbs, I put on 190lbs for bench press. I only realized my mistake when it was time to strip the weights.
Next was lat pull downs. On my third set I was only able to complete 7 consecutive reps, but the fighter in me was not satisfied. I mustered up enough strength to knock out 3 more before my time was up.
Success. Push press was next, and I was spent. After my second set, my phone vibrated. A reply from the Danimal. I had texted him earlier asking for words of encouragement, and his timing was perfect. He replied with "every rep you are a better version of yourself. You got this!" On my last set, I imagined that after each rep I was growing. On an exercise like push press, the imagery was awesome.
After push press was when I started talking to myself. Seated row math is so difficult. The weight listed on the sheet is in total pounds, and the machine requires you to evenly distribute the weight to both sides, meaning I had to divide by 2. Are you kidding me? I used my calculator to verify that 160lbs divided by two was 80. There was already a 35lb plate on both sides, meaning I needed to add an additional 45 pounds to both sides. Of course there were no 45lb plates nearby, so I had to grab a 35 and a ten. As I'm moving weights around between sets I am talking to myself, going over the math, to ensure that I wouldn't make another mistake. At this point in the workout, I felt drunk. I'm talking to myself, and I can barely stand up straight. That's no joke. It was hard to simply stand upright. It got better from here. So the next exercise, triceps extension, is right next to the lat pull down. They are adjacent to each other if you will. I don't know why but had I had left my water bottle at the lat pull down. Between sets of extensions, I attempt to reach over the lat pull down to retrieve my water bottle. For whatever reason, I tried to rest my arm on the leg pads of the machine. If you've ever done a lat pull down you understand that these pads roll. As a result of putting all my weight on these rolling pads, I almost fell over completely. "Wow" I thought to myself. "That could've been really bad." I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that you literally feel intoxicated.
Following the workout, I was sitting down on a couch when I realized that it felt as if a heating pad was under my back. Or, if you've ever been in a car with heated seats, this was exactly the sensation I was feeling. Could this be another Ragnarok symptom? Dan confirmed that he experienced the same phenomena.
I'll conclude with this. I think Ragnarok is giving me growing pains. I have not felt the achy sensation of growing pains in years, but twice now I have struggled to get to sleep because my quads feel like they need to be contracted. What in the world is going on? How awesome would it be if Ragnarok was somehow the impetus for a very late growth spurt? I know it's a stretch, but hey, you never know.
Turn Green,

Computers are the only thing that freeze when they overheat.

Dangote Jetty, Ibeju-Lekki Lagos, Receives First Ship Berth.
Implications For Ibeju-Lekki Land Owners
1. Increase in the value of land.
2. Increase in accommodation need
3. Future and higher finance options from land.
4. More secured in rental income
5. Opportunity to own more plots of land in Ibeju-Lekki.
The Dangote Oil Refinery jetty located at the Lekki Free Trade Zone, Lagos has received its first ever ship call. The ship named "BBC Naples" berthed at the new jetty in September 2018 to deliver essential equipment for ongoing construction work at the Dangote Refinery.
The Fears
1. Health Factor
I had the rare opportunity to visit Dangote refinery last year. We drove for 40mins off the Free Trade Zone Road and residential segments of Ibeju-Lekki.
2. Traffic Issues
Dangote is constructing a high way from the refinery complex to Epe which connects Ibeju Ode and Ikorodu respectively. These access roads do not run through the residential segments of Ibeju-Lekki.
These and more reasons why you should own plots of land in Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos.
I love to guide you through some options that would be good for you. Let's take a tour of Ibeju-Lekki so you be the judge if it is something you want to get involved in.

Hermes is a French high fashion house that specializes in leather, and on the spot ready wear, and various other accessories, mainly being perfume and luxury goods. Hermes family originally came to France in 1828, they were both Germans. Hermes was established by Thierry Hermes, in 1837, as a saddle shop located in a small area in Paris. The company has began to grow internationally, however continues its uniqueness and its French orientation. The company was awarded a first prize in 1855 at a Paris Exposition, Hermes won the first class medal of the 1867 Exposition Universally, with the aids of his sons the company became an elite empire.
Hermes is recognized for its handmade items, like handbags, luggage. Only one craftsman is allowed to work on a handbag at a time, instead of a production line where everything is made by machines. Because of the labour work that Hermes maintains in his items, one bag can take 16 to 24 hours to make, because they use such a rare bunch of materials, sometimes which can be exotic items such as expensive metals. Some items they purchase for the bags are, Alligator from Florida, Buffalo from Pakistan, Crocodile from Australia, Shark from Thailand, Lizard from Malaysia, and oxen, deer, calf, and goat from all over the world.
If a Hermes bag is damaged, and needs to be repaired the owner needs to go to a Hermes shop where it can be shipped to a factory in Paris for repair. Hermes bags were made popular through high-profile clientele which include a bag called "the Kelly bag", named after Grace Kelly; she has made some of her appearances with it, and the Constance shoulder bag. Kelly and Constance bags remained in high demand and it has been known there was a one year waiting list for these bags. After the economic meltdown (the recession) demand fell far and wait lists were destroyed in the Hermes line. 2008, the prices shot downwards, and profits were lost.
Another famous hand bag in the Hermes line is the Birkin; the Birkin was named after the popular actress Jane Birkin, who helped design the bag with the company president Jean Louis, after complaining that the Kelly design bag was not useful for normal people on a day to day basis. Miss Birkin, has stopped carrying her namesake bag saying it's contributed to her injuries.
The Birkin bag still remains a popular item in the Hermes Line, it was also known to be the strongest item in the waiting list of any other luxurious Hermes item. The price of the smallest Birkin can reach up to ten thousand dollars, all the way up to one hundred thousand dollars. For different sizes, and other leathers it can become over a million dollars. The Birkin bag has even been shown in various TV shows such as, Will and grace, Sex and the city, Gilmore Girls, and Girlfriends. And many well known celebrities have also been seen with the Birkin bag.

Re: need some help with funding for coummunity programsLUCKIEST Oct 29, 2011 8:45 AM (in response to s and s fitnes)
Hi Sasha, I have some great advice and many great ideas to help you.
It would help me and the community to know more about you and your plans.
Go to PROFILE and share some info.
Where are you located?? How soon will you be starting??
Have you started working on a business plan??
What have you done to market your business.
The more you share, the better our answers.
Good luck, LUCKIEST
Re: need some help with funding for coummunity programsModerator_PaulR Oct 29, 2011 9:21 AM (in response to s and s fitnes)
Hello Sasha,
You could always try to run a fundraising campaign. As long as you can show it's for a good cause and how it would benifit the community, I'm sure people would be willing to donate. You could also try to get sponsers from local businesses.
Just a couple ideas, hope they help.
Re: need some help with funding for coummunity programsphanio Oct 30, 2011 11:44 AM (in response to s and s fitnes)
Grants are probably out of the question - although there are some grants that could help a little - but they take work. Pepsi is offering a "love your business" grant where you create a profile and if enough people vote for your business - you could get a small grant.
Another option might be to find a Community Development Corporation (CDC) in your area and see what resources they might have. Your local SCORE office or SBDC can direct you in finding your CDC.
Lastly, visit your chamber of commerce and see if they know of any community or civic groups that you could partner with. One of these organizations might be willing to partner with you for the program you suggest and then raise money through their efforts to fund it.
Business Money Today
Re: need some help with funding for coummunity programsgerontologyadv2 Nov 2, 2011 3:48 PM (in response to s and s fitnes)
If you are looking for grants it will be very hard as you have found out. National grants have a lot of competition and will be more attentive to organizations they have worked with before. You can look in your local area and look at the celebrates in the area. I know an organization that got a grant from a local golf celebrity. You can visit corporate headquarters for major businesses in your area. They are more likely to give if there is a personal connection. Join business, community and local organizations. IF they know you they will be more likely to care. Motorcycle and car organizations are fantastic. They do rides and group events to help many organizations. Do not forget. Recognize those who help you. Give trophy's, Plaques, pictures with personal thank you. They will remember you when you come to see them again.
I have been in the fitness industry for over 10 years and have loved helping people become healthier versions of themselves; I would like to reach many more low income community resisdents that can not afford fitness memberships or training. Does anyone have any advise for me? I have tried the grant route and so far have come up empty!

Man sentenced for selling counterfeit razorblades at Meijer Stores | Business
A Florida man will spend 30 months in prison for trying to sell counterfeit razorblades at Meijer Stores.
As part of his punishment, 56-year-old Jeffrey Steven Telsey also faces three years of probation and must pay $400,506.17 in restitution, as well as a $25,000 fine.
In January 2008, Homeland Security Investigations was notified that counterfeit Gillette Mach3 razor refills were being distributed through Meijer Stores. Homeland Security began buying up the counterfeit razorblades from Telsey, who operated JCA Enterprises. At the same time, Meijer Stores issued a company-wide recall for the counterfeit blades.
The office of U.S. Attorney General Patrick Miles says the trafficking of counterfeit razorblades was mixed into JCA's usual business of reselling leftover lots of health and beauty care products to wholesaler and large retail outlets. The U.S Attorney General's office also says in November 2009, Homeland Security tracked the counterfeit blades to JCA and seized approximately 27,000 units that had yet to be shipped. The U.S. Attorney General's Office says in March 2010, Homeland Security discovered Telsey was still selling counterfeit merchandise from an importer in New Jersey who bought the counterfeit razorblades from China.

SPOILER ALERT: Do not read any further if you haven't watched the fifth episode of The Hour. For a review of episode four, click here.
Cometh The Hour
And this week, The Hour really did cometh, with much of the episode centred on the frustrating parliamentary gag rule and the show's difficulties in reporting on Eden's desperately unpopular handling of the Suez crisis. It's gearing up to a final government v television showdown next week, but for now, the gang are working on ways around it, including reporting on the protests, questioning foreign nationals on their opinions and letting lovely little Isaac (a sort of miniature, retro Rafe Spall) write a satirical sketch.
Hector and Bel are enjoying a quaint temporary domesticity, but it's already coming apart, due to two things – Bel's increasing reliance on Freddie, and Hector's subsequent insecurity; and the fact that Hector's wife Marnie finally confronts Bel and lets her know that Hector does this often, but he's always "on loan". Romola Garai does a good job here of paling horror as she realises that Marnie is aware of their fling, but again, this epiphany is thrown away later in an odd jumble of nascent feminism, as Bel asks her mother, rather uninspiringly, "Why can't we do what the hell we like? Men can." Her mother says what most viewers have been thinking, quietly suggesting that she can have what she likes, if she just gets on with her bloody job. "To hell with all of them," she says.
The Hat Men and the Debutante
It's all starting to come together as one storyline now, but Freddie's persistence – some might say harassment – in chasing Ruth Elms' grieving parents finally pays off, with a little help from Hector, who blackmails Angus McCain over his Adam Le Ray affair. McCain explains the story: Ruth Elms became involved with, and pregnant by, Peter Darrell, who worked for MI6, but was a spy and a traitor. Ruth had been on a KGB list of young people susceptible to betraying their country – and these are the mysterious Brightstones. Later, when Freddie confronts Lord and Lady Elms with this information, Lord Elms reveals that Freddie, too, is on the list of Brightstones…
Notes and observations
• Anton Lesser is excellent as Clarence this week, particularly when telling Bel she has "sold herself so short" over the affair, delivered with full Disappointed Dad Face, and later, when he explains that The Hour is his last chance.
• Not enough Lix this week, in spite of that touching, Lee Miller-esque back story. If The Hour does get a second series, I'd like to see her promoted, and drinking more.
• Some prescient points about the government holding the BBC to ransom with talk of "funding implications".
• More from Lynne Reid Banks, who wrote a letter condemning The Hour after its first episode, and who expands her points in this article from Monday's G2.
• "He's not my type." Here's this week's authentic 1950s dialogue question – was this really a phrase back then?
• For those enjoying last week's naked Dominic West, I can't help but think the sight of him tucked up in pink satin sheets in a single bed might have been a let down.

An expert panel that advises the president on cancer said Thursday that Americans are facing "grievous harm" from chemicals in the air, food and water that have largely gone unregulated and ignored.
The President's Cancer Panel called for a new national strategy that focuses on such threats in the environment and workplaces.
Epidemiologists have long maintained that tobacco use, diet and other factors are responsible for most cancers, and that chemicals and pollutants cause only a small portion -- perhaps 5 percent.
The presidential panel said that figure has been "grossly underestimated" but it did not provide a new estimate.
"With the growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to cancer, the public is becoming increasingly aware of the unacceptable burden of cancer resulting from environmental and occupational exposures that could have been prevented through appropriate national action," the panel wrote in a report released Thursday.
Federal chemical laws are weak, funding for research and enforcement is inadequate, and regulatory responsibilities are split among too many agencies, the panel found.
Children are particularly vulnerable because they are smaller and are developing faster than adults, the panel found. The report noted unexplained rising rates of some cancers in children, and it referred to recent studies that have found industrial chemicals in umbilical-cord blood, which supplies nutrients to fetuses. "To a disturbing extent, babies are born 'pre-polluted,' " the panel wrote.
Health officials lack critical knowledge about the health impact of chemicals on fetuses and children, the report said.

Blockchain can be explained as an innovative technology that's designed to transform digital landscape. It was originally a decentralized ledger used for transactions in bitcoins. This ledger comprises various linked blocks of transactions in which an identical copy was meant to be stored on every computer that was part of this network.
The changes made in this ledger were cryptographically approved by the person transferring bitcoins. This person is considered to be the real owner of this digital currency.
About Emerging Blockchain Technology:
The basic idea was to track every unit of digital currencies to prevent any unapproved changes in the ledger. The same idea of decentralized and secure databases has been developed by organizations for new age applications. This industry is consistently evolving, and it can be hard to stay updated with the latest developments. If you want to stay ahead of the competition lurking in this space, here are some tips that you should follow:
Bring Innovation in Product Offerings:
In this hyper-competitive domain, it is always important to stay unique and innovative. It gives an edge to the business and makes it survive massive onslaught of data in this field. There are examples where companies have proven their novelty by cutting-edge ideas like secure fund processing and cryptocurrency storage. Try to bring this element in your product offerings as well.
Rely on Dependable Sources:
In this dynamic industry, it is hard to predict the latest changes and updates. Legitimacy of news is also difficult to prove even for people associated with the industry. It is advisable to seek information only from thought leaders having in-depth knowledge and experience in blockchain development. A reliable blockchain developer should have proven track record to ensure credibility of their claims. Follow companies and entrepreneurs that are proactively associated with the industry. They form a trusted database ecosystem to know what's happening in blockchain environment.
Use Social Media Wisely:
In the recent times, social media has emerged as a potential source of news and information. But, this platform has inherent dangers that affect the reliability of updates. The misleading information can be easily cooked up due to petty errors and distractions. If this platform has been consistently plagued by misleading news, it loses its credibility. There have been deliberate attempts to present crooked information by manipulating original content.
When using these platforms to stay ahead of competition, you should stay cautious of malicious links and account hacking. Check the veracity of information before laying trust in it. Take help from an experienced blockchain developer to decode misleading content on social media channels.
Ensure Compliance with Regulations:
In this landscape, it is essential to maintain compliance with regulatory authorities. The authorities need more commitment from companies and financial institutions dealing with cryptocurrencies. Before starting a new venture, invest more time and efforts for adhering to their guidelines. The new businesses can benefit a lot from these specifications to maintain their revenues.
Cross-Check Data from Multiple Sources:
False information is easily and quickly circulated in this age of social media. To mitigate this problem, it is important to verify every piece of data related to blockchain technology. The best way is to seek opinion from different industry veterans and leaders. Check for information from major publications that use reliable sources. They rely on fast-checking process and include source links in every article.
Apart from these, invest in complex technological combinations that can help your business gain an edge in this industry. These are some reliable ways to counter fake news and to stay updated about the latest blockchain technology trends. It requires skepticism and proper knowledge to combat misinformation circulated by various sources.

Third play in Alfred Jarry's Ubu cycle, translated as "Ubu Enchained".
The plot of this play conforms to more (twisted) logic than the other two, but still contains the expected quota of shambolic violence and chaos. Ma and Pa Ubu arrive in France, the land of free men, where the army struggles to avoid marching in time with one another.
Ubu decides that he has had enough of ruthlessly seeking power, and decides to become a slave. He thrusts himself into the service of various important personages with his usual fervour, resulting of course in bloody death. He is sent to prison, much to his delight, only to be pronounced king once again by his fellow convicts, who see his many chains and ankle weights as ceremonial trappings.

Days of Our Lives Daily Recap: The Mysterious Case of the Non-Poisoning
The Pub: Outside of the Pub, Brady and EJ argue. Brady tells EJ that he's not afraid of EJ or Stefano. EJ replies that Brady should be and Brady counters by calling EJ a coward for hiring thugs to deal with him and not facing him like a man. So, naturally I pause for a moment to imagine how hot a fight between these two would be.
Meanwhile, inside the pub, Nicole and Victor continue their argument. Victor threatens Nicole by telling her that he's happy she made a stupid mistake and that she's going to pay for it dearly. Nicole counters by telling him that Stefano has welcomed her to the family and that DiMera's take care of their own and their enemies. And I remember the good old days when Nicole could take care of herself and her enemies – what happened to those days? They were fun!
Victor just smiles and points out to Nicole that maybe she isn't being protected, maybe she's being used. Nicole doesn't believe him, so Victor points out, "Your whole wedding was a charade. Your husband and your father-in-law needed an alibi. And they thought so little of you that they used you and your hypocritical white dress to provide them with one." Nicole tries to deny it but finally realizes what happened to Brady. Before they can say anything else, Nicole sees Brady and EJ together outside the pub and runs out to stop them from killing each other.
Outside, after Nicole intervenes and manages to get the guys to break it up, she tries to get EJ to realize that the Kiriakises are just trying to taunt them so they look in the right. EJ isn't interested in hearing any of it until he hears her mention that Victor is inside. He tells Nicole he's going in to talk to Victor, so she tries to talk him out of it but he goes anyway.
Afterwards, Nicole and Brady talk. She asks him if he's okay and he says he's fine. She tells him she wants to know what really happened to him and he asks if she's sure she wants to know. She insists that she does but Brady argues that she doesn't really want to know what EJ's up to when he's not home. He says she doesn't want to know that when EJ comes home to her and her daughter he blood on his hands. Nicole tries to defend EJ but Brady isn't interested. He tells her that he was there for her when she did everything she did to get her daughter and asks if she did all that so Sydney could have a guy like EJ for a father. Nicole tells him that's exactly what she did. Brady tells her that nothing bad that the two of them and Philip combined have done would add up to what EJ did last night and that EJ doesn't even feel remorse for anything. He tells her, "Well, that's Sydney's father. That is your husband." And then he walks away and leaves Nicole standing there.
Meanwhile, inside the pub, EJ walks over to Victor and sits down, giving a faux apology about Philip. Victor tells him to not waste his time worrying about Philip and save his concern for Stefano. EJ tries to get Victor to explain what he means by that but Victor just talks symbolically around it using the Trojan War as a metaphor. A fed up EJ walks away and calls Stefano. He can't reach him though, so he leaves a message for Stefano to call him. Then, he calls a security goon and demands they find Stefano ASAP.
Later, Lexie calls EJ and tells him that Stefano is in the hospital. EJ wants to know what's wrong, but Lexie hangs up on him. EJ runs outside and tells Nicole they have to go to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Brady goes into the pub to sit with Victor. Victor reminds him to stay away from Nicole because she's married to a DiMera now – married to the man who ordered Philip's death. Brady tells him not to worry about it because he was telling Nicole goodbye. Then Brady and Victor discuss their exchanges with EJ and Victor tells Brady that EJ will pay – just leave it all to him.
The Hospital: Over at the hospital, Lexie is working on some patient charts when Stefano approaches her. She keeps trying to give him the brush off until she realizes he's there to be a patient. Stefano tells her that he thinks he's been poisoned. Lexie asks what his symptoms are and he tells her. He also tells her to call the police but she refuses to until she figures out what's wrong with him. She asks him when the symptoms started and he tells her, "Last night, a few hours after Kiriakis arranged to poison me." Lexie keeps trying to get Stefano to consider it could be something else but he doesn't want to hear it.
Later, Lexie admits Stefano into the hospital. When she comes back to his room she finds him unconscious and tries to wake him. Stefano finally comes to, but is out of breath. He asks if they identified the poison and she tells him they still have to run more tests. Lexie turns to leave and Stefano tells her he's proud of her and wants her to know that in case something happens to him. She tells him she won't let anything happen to him. He smiles and then tells her he needs to talk to EJ. Lexie agrees to contact EJ and gives him a call.
When EJ and Nicole arrive on Stefano's floor at the hospital, EJ asks Lexie what's going on and she explains it to him. He says he wants to see Stefano alone. Lexie freaks out on him because she knows EJ and Stefano just want to talk to plan revenge on the Kiriakises. EJ tries to calm her down but she tells him not too touch her and walks away from him. Nicole starts to move with EJ, but he tells her he wants to see Stefano alone. Lexie tells her to get used to it.
Meanwhile, over in Mia's room, Dr. Baker explains to Mia that the reason she doesn't feel a connection to the baby is because she's isn't hers. Mia tells him it's weird because she feels so connected to another baby. He asks who's baby but all she tells him is it is a friend's baby sister. Then, she leaves before he can get anymore out of her.
Afterwards, Dr. Baker finds Nicole at the hospital and tells her about Mia being there. Nicole wants to know what she wanted, so he explains what happened. Nicole doesn't like that they're talking about it in public but Dr. Baker doesn't seem to care. He tells her that Mia said she doesn't feel a connection to the baby and they both know why. Nicole continues to freak out and Dr. Baker tells her to relax - he's covering for her and she's in the clear with Mia. Nicole mentions that they still have to worry about Sami. Dr. Baker asks if Sami knows anything yet and Nicole explains that Sami doesn't and she plans to keep it that way. She better hope Sami doesn't find out anytime soon because Nicole is so dead when she does! I can't wait! lol!
Back in Stefano's room, EJ tells Stefano about his encounter with Victor. Stefano doesn't like it. He tells EJ that Victor wouldn't gloat unless he thought Stefano was gong to die for sure. EJ tells Stefano to stop talking like that – he's not going to die. Then, Lexie walks in and tells them she has the test results. She tells them that the tests show that Stefano wasn't poisoned but there is something wrong with him.
Sami's Penthouse: Will opens the door and finds Mia on the other side. He invites her in and realizes she's in a bad mood. She asks if he talked to Sami about being able to baby sit Grace. Will is surprised that she came to see Grace and not him. She tells him to just tell his mother about her baby sitting and is about to leave when Will asks her if she wants to go to the pub with him. When she doesn't seem that excited about it, he tells Grace is coming too and she accepts. Will cracks, "Wait, did I just use my little sister as date bait?" and Mia smiles and tells him he did and then she laughs. Awww… How cute!
Will brings out Grace and Mia lights up and starts talking to her. Will makes some wisecrack about Grace's 'real' mom and Mia snaps at him, saying that giving up Grace was probably the hardest thing her mother ever did.
The Airport: Sami tells Rafe that after she saw the St. Ann's medal she had to find him to tell him how she felt before it was too late. He tells her it already is. They argue about why he didn't return her phone calls and he explains he wanted escape the fight they are having right now. She tries to impress him with her gesture of finding him and running to him but he doesn't seem too impressed. He keeps trying to get her to leave but she won't have any of it. He asks if she's going to start crying since that's she does when she doesn't get her way through anger. This makes Sami angrier. Rafe snaps about Sami telling EJ that he's Grace's father and Sami tells him she didn't do it.
They sit down and she tells him what happened at the wedding and admits he was right she shouldn't have gone – but now she knows who EJ really is. Seriously? She just figured this out? Well, that's a curious case of a re-write if I ever heard one. I guess 2006-2008 just didn't happen then, right? Okay, whatever… back to the show…
Rafe tells her that he's sorry that finding out who EJ really is was painful for her but he's glad it happened for Grace's sake. She says it's good for their sake too because now they don't have to fight their connection anymore. She suggests they go and do something fun but Rafe drags her out of fantasy land and explains that he's still leaving because they just don't work together. She doesn't understand and he tells her that he wants to be a bigger part of her life than she wants him to be. She tries to deny it but he won't listen. She tells him she wouldn't be there if she didn't still want him in her life, but he thinks she'll change her mind again. Then his flight is called and Rafe says he's gotta go. As he picks up his bags to leaves, she grabs him and hugs him saying she won't let him go.
On the Next Days:
At the pub, Chelsea tells Max, "If you get accepted there you're gonna move. So what about us?"
At the DiMera mansion, Stefano tells EJ, "And you... are going to take care of Kiriakis."
Stephanie freaks out and tells Philip, "I can't take it. I can't take any of this."
Sami tells Rafe, "I would do just about anything to stop you from getting on that plane."

Our NEWEST and most EXCITING fitness program is here!
I am really excited to teach this class. It is completely different to what I am used to even though I am a certified Pilates instructor and teach 5 classes a week. POP Pilates is nothing like traditional Pilates. I would say it is closer to a body conditioning class with Pilates exercises infused. It is set to upbeat, pop music and pre-choregraphed. This program is a challenge and will have you sweat and feel your DOMS afterwards. Whilst it's a challenge, it is also described as a 'dance on the matt'. There is an element of ballet/barre moves in some of the tracks too! I am used to teaching relatively slow exercises classes so this has taken me a while to learn how to teach effectively to others. The transitions are quick!
What is the benefit to POP Pilates?
Good question!
- Core Strength
- Improved Posture and Alignment
- Stronger Muscles
- Alleviated Back Pain
- Increased Flexibility
- Increased Agility
- Increased Range of Motion
- Body Awareness/Mind-Body Connection
How is this different to regular Pilates?
Even though it is called 'Pilates' this is very different to regular Pilates. It is a fusion of continuous ab-work and total body exercises, leaving no muscle unused whilst developed a very strong core. It has a rhythmic flow from one exercise to the next. It is set to upbeat POP Music so transitions can be quick with little to no break in-between. The full 55 minute version has 13 tracks each with a different focus included abs, glutes, thighs, obliques, back, upper body, cardio and flexibility training. It is very unique and originates from United States. There is very few POP Pilates classes in the UK as of yet!
Where/How Can I Do A Class?
Crowborough Leisure Centre, East Sussex now has a POP Pilates Class from this Saturday (24th November 2018) at 9:30 – 10:30. Taster or POP-UP classes may be presented in West Sussex in the new year! Details to follow…
Let me know your thoughts or if you have any questions! I am excited to bring this class for the first ever POP Pilates class in East Sussex!

Miscellaneous Mid-Season Thoughts of Questionable Value
I've been watching what really amounts to pathetically little anime recently. It's little to do with the quality of shows airing, as if I'm honest I've not even watched a single episode of most of them, but after having watched practically All The Things last season (well, enough so that I was watching at least couple of episodes of stuff every evening), a certain degree of prioritisation had to happen so that I could actually clear out the ton of work, personal projects, and other obligations that I've been sitting on for way too long. Also, video games (and I've not even started TitS 3rd yet…)
Still, I'm watching a few things. Not a ton to say about a lot of them, and it's pretty safe to say that anything I don't mention I probably haven't even found the time to watch a single episode of thus far. Should probably at least watch some Worlds End or Alice or Eromanga, I guess. As atrocious a habit as it is to get into, I'm only really posting for the sake of having something to post as opposed to having a specific point to make about something, but whatever.

Today I came across an interesting question on Quora,
Would you post a map of the administrative divisions of your country you've (a) lived in (b) visited (c) passed through?
This one was again inspired by an older Reddit thread.
So here's my map:
- Legend:
- Red: Lived
- Green: Visited
- Blue: Passed through (on land only)
This was a very interesting exercise for me, and I think everyone should give this a try. I was really surprised to see how little of India I had covered till now actually.
NOTE: The original map on Wikimedia commons is horribly outdated and (I'm speaking only about the state of Assam) does not contain any of the new districts or divisions. On that note, the Assam part of this map has been modified to add some of the newer districts.

Assignments and finals are complete; the year was a success. In the coming weeks, you should feel lighter. I ask of you what I ask of Penn Admissions staff: be proud and rest.
There are many options for your summer experience. Whether your plans are firm or evolving, enjoy the openness and warmth of this time. From an admissions perspective, we encourage students to pursue activities that are personally rewarding. Simply—there is no one summer activity that stands out over others. Regardless of what you choose to do with your summer, take time to question (yourself, the world around you), think (allow your brain to wander), and discover (even small realizations).
How you do what you do and the conclusions you take away from your experiences will always be important.
The following is a short list of summer suggestions, items that complement your summer activities while preparing you for the year ahead–
1. Read. The most accessible way to travel, to experience something new, and to make connections, picking up a few books will satiate your curiosity and allow you to refine your academic interests. Reading also informs your writing, exposing you to a range of voices, styles, and forms. The incoming Penn Class of 2018 will take part in the Penn Reading Project as an opportunity for shared inquiry and learning.
2. Spend time with your family. During this quieter time, allow yourself to be inspired (one of the 5 Is) by the people closest to you. Listen to your family's stories and investigate how they affect your own journey thus far. Make sure you are on the same page as your parents and mentors. Have an open discussion about your accomplishments, hardships, and goals. This is also a good time to bring up potential college visits and attributes that you are looking for in a college experience.
3. Recharge. From all-nighters and important games to standardized testing, this year was hard work. Restore by focusing on what you need to heal mind and body.
Find more summer suggestions here and enjoy the beginning of your restful break.

CAMBRIDGE, MA- Amidst the stress of finals, a group of Ephs took a break from Sawyer Library and traveled to Cambridge for the MIT Final Qualifier. All marks in contention for nationals qualification are due tonight, making this the last chance for athletes on the bubble to solidify their position in the top 22 in NCAA Division III and punch their ticket to the National Championship in La Crosse, Wisconsin on May 24-26.
Starting the day off for the Ephs, first-year Izabelle Ith raced to a 3rd place finish in the 100 meter hurdles. She ran a time of 15.04 seconds in the preliminary round and bettered that time with a speedy 14.94 seconds in the final. She currently sits in 22nd place on the national performance list and must await the rest of the results to trickle in from across the country to know whether her spot is secure. She is in the same position in the long jump. This evening, she jumped 5.59 meters for 3rd place. This mark approached her early-season outdoor best jump of 5.67 meters, with which she is currently ranked 24th. After declarations come out, the first-year will know whether she will be heading to La Crosse next week. Either way, she has had an incredible first year competing in the Williams singlet and looks forward to 3 more.
Junior Kennedy Green won the preliminary heats in the 100 meter dash, running 12.27 seconds into a headwind to advance to the final. She placed 2nd there, crossing the line in 12.30 seconds. Green also must play the waiting game, tied for 20th. She has raced to personal best after personal best this season and hopes to continue that trend in La Crosse.
Sophomore Anna Passannante had an outdoor personal best in the 800 meter run. The sophomore faced strong competition from MIT and Brandeis athletes and crossed the line in 3rd place. Her 2:12.32 sits in 17th on the national performance list. Senior Kate Kennedy also had a personal best, cutting half of a second off her previous time of 1:01.65. This evening, Kennedy was alone out in front, sprinting to a 1:01.15 in the 400 hurdles. That mark ranks her 7th in Division III. She is approaching the school record of 1:00.76 set in 1989 and hopes to hit that time in La Crosse.
Senior Emily Sundquist also won her event, crossing the line in 11:16.83 in the 3000 meter steeplechase. Sundquist is in a similar position to Green's and Ith's, ranked 21st on the national performance list. The senior has battled back from injury and adversity and has been a major asset to the Ephs on and off the track for the last 4 years. Hopefully, she will get another race as an Eph next Thursday. Junior Emily Harris placed 3rd with a stellar time of 11:24.29, cutting 8 seconds off her personal best. Harris has been steadily chipping away at her time all year, surpassing her personal record from last year by about 20 seconds, a ridiculous margin in a year's span.
Brianna Bourne is back. After facing sickness and injury earlier this year, the first-year came roaring back at the NEICAAA Championships last weekend, running 4:35.37 for a huge 3.5 second personal best. Bourne dropped another 3.5 seconds tonight, crossing the line in a superb 4:31.71. She vaulted from 31st to 12th on the national performance list and will most likely be heading to nationals. Senior Anna Harleen also achieving an astounding feat this evening. Working her way back from injury, the stalwart Harleen ran a gutsy race and crossed the line 20 seconds faster than she did last weekend. Her time of 4:42.22 is a testament to her hard work and dedication to her sport. This was the last race of her illustrious career, and the Ephs will surely miss Harleen next fall.
Summer-Solstice Thomas jumped for her life today—and enjoyed every moment of it. The sophomore has been battling with injury for the entirety of outdoor season. In fact, she has only jumped 3 times this season. Over the last two weeks, she jumped 1.59 meters and 1.60 meters. She knew she would need to jump about 7 centimeters higher to punch her ticket to La Crosse. It only took her one attempt to clear 1.67 meters, and the sophomore was not done. On her third attempt, she soared over 1.70 meters, securing her spot at the National Championship Meet next weekend. That leap ties her for 4th in the nation, just behind teammates Helene Hall '18 and Emma Egan '20.
The Ephs will wait for the declaration sheets to come out and hope their athletes on the bubble earn bids to La Crosse. That championship will take place from the 24th to the 26th.

Isaiah 44:9-20
All who fashion idols are nothing, and the things they delight in do not profit. Their witnesses neither see nor know, that they may be put to shame. Who fashions a god or casts an idol that is profitable for nothing? Behold, all his companions shall be put to shame, and the craftsmen are only human. Let them all assemble, let them stand forth. They shall be terrified; they shall be put to shame together.
The ironsmith takes a cutting tool and works it over the coals. He fashions it with hammers and works it with his strong arm. He becomes hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water and is faint. The carpenter stretches a line; he marks it out with a pencil. He shapes it with planes and marks it with a compass. He shapes it into the figure of a man, with the beauty of a man, to dwell in a house. He cuts down cedars, or he chooses a cypress tree or an oak and lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a cedar and the rain nourishes it. Then it becomes fuel for a man. He takes a part of it and warms himself; he kindles a fire and bakes bread. Also he makes a god and worships it; he makes it an idol and falls down before it. Half of it he burns in the fire. Over the half he eats meat; he roasts it and is satisfied. Also he warms himself and says, "Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire!" And the rest of it he makes into a god, his idol, and falls down to it and worships it. He prays to it and says, "Deliver me, for you are my god!"
They know not, nor do they discern, for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their hearts, so that they cannot understand. No one considers, nor is there knowledge or discernment to say, "Half of it I burned in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and have eaten. And shall I make the rest of it an abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?" He feeds on ashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, "Is there not a lie in my right hand?"
The English Standard Version of the Bible titles these verses: The Folly of Idolatry".
Isaiah speaks of how we take man-made objects and give them powers they do not possess. We turn them into false gods that meet our human expectations. We do this today just as it was done in the time of Isaiah. It is done within the conventional organized religions, where symbols are professed to deliver us from evil. And there are those who claim that some man-made objects can possess evil powers. These are obvious examples of idolatry. But many of us fall to the folly of idolatry in a more subtle manner.
Isaiah talks of the craftsmen who shape the objects of nature into a god that people then fall down and worship. We do the same today.
The engineer designs, the craftsmen and operators assemble a consumable object with a name and logo. We then dedicate our lives to obtaining the man-made object, forsaking reason to possess these idols. We give them power over us, a power that causes us to not only forsake reason, but God and family for the false hope these objects give to us.
The modern day priests and leaders preach to us of the necessity of these idols. We are bombarded with images of their perception of happiness and fulfillment. They tell us these idols, these false gods, possess the power to fulfill our lives and make it meaningful. The idols will make us attractive, popular and happy, for you will be the envy of those who do not possess these man-made gods.
Isaiah is also telling us that in the process of making these gods, we completely miss the works of God that are right in front of us.
In verse 14 Isaiah talks about the cedars. The cedars were not made by man and neither was the rain which nourishes them and helps them to grow strong and tall. Isaiah speaks of the forces of God that can take a seed only a few millimeters in size and have it grow into a tree over 100 feet tall.
We can then cut down this miracle of God and use it to warm us, cook our food, and build our homes. And using the skills given to us by God, we take what is leftover and carve some strange half man half cow figure and then say to ourselves here is where my salvation lies.
In verses 18 and 19 Isaiah tells us just how ignorant we are with this line of thought.
They know not, nor do they discern, for he has shut their eyes, so that they cannot see, and their hearts, so that they cannot understand. No one considers, nor is there knowledge or discernment to say, "Half of it I burned in the fire; I also baked bread on its coals; I roasted meat and have eaten. And shall I make the rest of it an abomination? Shall I fall down before a block of wood?"
After all that God has given to the world, and all that God has given to us, we look at an object made by man and say; ah, here in lies my salvation.
In verse 20 Isaiah sums it up.
He feeds on ashes; a deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, "Is there not a lie in my right hand?"
Your soul is being starved, your heart is empty and you are blinded by covetousness. You do not realize that what you hold in your hand is not happiness or salvation. It's just a man-made piece of crap that has led you away from the salvation of God.

They were both eliminated by the surging eighth seed, the Los Angeles Kings.
The Kings closed out their 4-0 series sweep of the St. Louis Blues today with a 3-1 victory. The Kings are now in the conference finals for the first time since 1993, when the team went to the Stanley Cup finals. They are also the first team in nine years to knock off a No. 1 and a No. 2 seed in the same playoffs.
It's been an unreal run so far, but the Kings are only half done and the best is yet to come. But for now, let's take a look back at some of the best moments from the Kings' first two series against the Blues and the Canucks.
Also, feel free to share your own memorable moments from this series in the comments if I missed anything you thought was particularly memorable!

See what's new on the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT!For 2013, Dodge Challenger SRT8 gets three-mode (rather than two-mode) adaptive damping for its suspension — Auto, Sport, and Track; and Launch Control (on both automatic and manual cars; details are further down this page) increases straight-line acceleration. In "Track" mode, higher damping rates combine with a performance shifting and gear holding feature that allows the driver full shift control when using the steering wheel mounted paddle controls or AutoStick. The ADS system on the Challenger SRT8 392 features the fastest turn-in and most nimble handling characteristics of any SRT product (presumably excluding Viper).
The 2013 Challenger SRT8 "Core" had a black grille and black SRT rear spoiler, black 392 decal on the front fenders, 20-inch wheels with black pockets, and black Brembo brake calipers; new colors were HEMI® Orange Pearl Coat and Plum Crazy Pearl Coat (Phantom Black Tri-coat Pearl and Redline Tri-coat Pearl were reserved for non-Core cars).
As with the normal Challenger SRT8, the Core has either a manual or automatic. The base price was US$39,990 including destination.
The 2011 Dodge Challenger SRT8 was given a big boost in horsepower and torque with its new 392-cubic inch Hemi V8, packing 470 horsepower and 470 lb.-ft. of torque — 90 lb.-ft. more torque at 2,900 rpm compared with the previous 6.1-liter V-8 engine.
Chrysler claims 0-60 times in the "high 4-second range" and quarter mile times "in the high 12s." (Some variants of the Challenger SRT8, such as Yellow Jacket, are in our "special Challengers page.") Fuel economy was rated at 14 city, 23 highway, regardless of transmission.
Launch Control: When the vehicle is at a complete stop, the driver presses ESC twice, then (on manuals) depresses the clutch and quickly applies full throttle (for automatics, the driver pushes down on the brake with one foot, and applies full throttle briefly with the other). Launch control holds the engine at the desired speed and waits for the driver to release the clutch or brake. Through the EVIC screen, the manual-transmission driver can adjust the launch rpm from 2500-4500 in 250 rpm increments, while automatics are kept to 1,825 rpm. Launch Control then uses engine torque management to achieve controlled wheelslip for maximum acceleration up to 62 mph (100 kph).
The original 392 Hemi engine arrived in the 1957 model year, replacing the 354 Hemi in Chryslers and Imperials. It was quickly adopted by drag racers, and was used in historical speed runs on land and water.
The Dodge Challenger SRT8 392 also brings world-class ride and handling with high-performance braking and the latest technology that delivers improved fuel efficiency.
New, highly damped shocks have a firm ride that maintains the feel for everyday commuting, while recalibrated suspension geometry improves Challenger's balance, corning ability and steering responsiveness. Quicker steering ratios and new negative camber settings all around dramatically improve Challengers appetite for cornering.
The performance SRT-tuned, fully hydraulic steering system also has been improved with a new, heavy-duty pump and revised gearing to give drivers more direct feel and on-center response.
The result: the 2011 Challenger SRT8 392 is now more nimble and playfully "tossable" while still capable of an incredible .93g of lateral acceleration on the skid pad – the most of any production Challenger.
Inside, a new three-spoke steering wheel has a carbon fiber-accented leather wrap and silver metallic painted spokes; a four gauge cluster has chromed accent rings and new, unique SRT graphics, with the performance-adapted EVIC featuring the usual radio and trip information along with 0-60 time, 60-0 braking time, G-force, eighth-mile, and quarter-mile times. Power lumbar front seats are standard; and now, rear seat access is eased by "seatback tilt with memory" and a more easily reached release handle. The front passenger seat has tilt and slide with memory.
The 2012 Challenger SRT8 392 started at $44,077, but carries a $1,300 gas-guzzler tax on the automatic, and a $1,000 tax on the manual.
To kick off 2011-model year production, Dodge will build 1,492 Inaugural Edition cars (392 to be sold in Canada), all with unique customizations of the Dodge Challenger SRT8.
Two colors and new full-body stripe combinations include Deep Water Blue with standard Stone White stripes or Bright White Clear Coat with standard Viper Blue stripes. All Inaugural Edition models will ride on 20-inch SRT-exclusive wheels with a polished face and satin black painted pockets.
Unique "392 HEMI" badges flank both fenders touting the historically significant V-8 engine; it also comes with a 392 key fob. Mopar quad exhaust tips deliver the performance exhaust note while adding a serious muscle car styling cue.
A larger front splitter and integrated front fender spats give this Challenger SRT8 392 better overall high-speed aerodynamics and balance.
A newly modified front fascia chin spoiler improves aerodynamics and is accent painted for a more aggressive look. The rear decklid spoiler also is completed in matching body color, and the Mopar logo is etched onto the rear quarter window.
The race-inspired interior of the Challenger SRT8 392 Inaugural Edition features standard Smooth Pearl White leather-trimmed seats and dual blue stripes accented by unique blue stitching. Each of the front seats features an embroidered "392" just below the headrest. An exclusive, serialized "Inaugural Edition 392 HEMI" dash plaque, showing the sequential build number from 1 to 1,492, rounds out the exclusive interior content.
The special Challengers will be offered in two color packages: white with dual, full-length blue body stripes or blue with white stripes. Other exterior special features include: 392 HEMI fender badge, Mopar decal, body color accent grille, quad exhaust tips and forged SRT aluminum wheels with painted pockets.

The introduction date is November 29, 2010.

Sony says it is addressing technical glitches in some PlayStation 4 gaming consoles, which sold a million units on their first day on sale in North America.
Some purchasers have encountered what's been dubbed the "blinking blue light of death" when they attempt to power up their consoles, CNN reported Tuesday.
The blue light comes on when a PlayStation 4 is first turned on, but turns to white when the unit is ready for play. Some users have said their consoles are unable to move beyond a constant blue light condition.
Some unhappy customers have gone as far as posting one-star reviews on Amazon, although the overall rating is hovering at four out of five stars.
Sony has released a detailed troubleshooting guide, suggesting possible problems with the console's power supply, hard drive, related hardware or connection to an incompatible display or television.
While acknowledging "a handful of people have reported issues," Sony said the number of affected systems represented less than 0.4 percent of the units shipped, or less than 4,000 out the 1 million sold.
"This is within our expectations for a new product introduction, and the vast majority of PS4 feedback has been overwhelmingly positive," the company said in a statement. "We are closely monitoring for additional reports, but we think these are isolated incidents and are on track for a great launch."

Learning Centers in Child Care Settings
Article excerpt
Stafford-Upshaw, E, & Myers-Walls, J. A. (1999). Learning Centers in Child Care Settings. Purdue University: Purdue Cooperative Extension. (http://www.cfs.purdue.edu/CDFS)
This educational resource is a training program to help caregivers plan and provide a practical learning environment in which children can explore and grow. According to StaffordUpshaw and Myers-Walls, the resource can help increase children's opportunities to learn by doing, reduce discipline problems, observe children's progress, give children clear classroom rules, and teach caregivers to manage classrooms more easily. When children learn the rules, know what to expect, and are allowed to control and create in the area of their choice and interest, caregivers experience fewer discipline problems.
This resource includes a Guide for Learning Centers, a Presenter's Guide, a video, and several posters. The posters provide good descriptions of seven types of learning centers such as creative art, dramatic play/housekeeping, constructive play/blocks, science, language arts/music, sand/water, and manipulative center. The content of each suggested center includes its location, equipment, and supplies; its benefits to children; the role of teacher; and guidelines for children using the center.
The Guide for Learning Centers presents good information about a variety of learning centers, as well as clear outlines and step-by-step instructions to design these centers. …

PARIS, 29 November 2018 – The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) today joined the steering committee of the Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP) – a global community of organizations and experts committed to generating, managing and sharing green growth knowledge and data to mobilize a sustainable future. UNIDO joins existing GGKP steering committee members, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), United Nations Environment and the World Bank.
"These are especially exciting times for the GGKP, already the world's largest dedicated repository of green growth resources, case studies, and national documents," said Ban Ki-moon, former Secretary-General of the United Nations and current President and Chair of the GGGI.
"GGGI welcomes the opportunity to renew its support for the GGKP through the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the four founding organizations and UNIDO. I am very pleased to see international organizations work together to build a future of green growth and sustainable development."
Stephan Sicars, Director of UNIDO's Environment Branch, said that, "UNIDO looks forward to working with the GGKP to broaden the network of partners in green growth by facilitating the connection with our industry and private sector partners. Together, we can bridge the gap between the research, policy, and industry communities, and provide guidance and incentives for greener industrial practices."
Green Industry is at the core of UNIDO's mandate. The Organization adds value to the partnership by bringing in its services and expertise to promote circular production patterns, the adoption of clean technologies and practical ways to transition to a green economy.
"Greener industrial practices are key to future economic competitiveness and sustainable growth for both countries and businesses," said Ben Simmons, Head of the GGKP Secretariat. "The GGKP looks forward to UNIDO's leadership and to increased private sector engagement."
Frank Rijsberman, Director General of the GGGI, said that, "For developing countries in particular, green industry can play a major role in poverty alleviation, the delivery of goods and services, job creation and improved standards of living, as well as increased productivity and improved access to premium markets."
"We welcome the expertise that UNIDO will bring to the partnership on greening industry," Rijsberman added.
Under this enhanced partnership, the GGKP will relaunch the Green Industry Platform (GIP), which will provide leading innovative, practical and pragmatic insights and knowledge to green existing businesses and sectors, and to develop and grow new green sectors and businesses.
The new partnership was celebrated today at the Sixth Annual GGKP Conference, held in conjunction with the OECD Green Growth and Sustainable Development Forum (GGSD) on the theme of "Inclusive Solutions for the Green Transition".
