Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord (Year A)
When the Word is proclaimed, it is real and active – the Lord is present, and what is described is, in a sense, happening now. On certain days this is made more obvious by the selection of scripture that refers to a particular time or day. Such a selection occurs this morning, when we go with Mary Magdalene to visit the tomb, only to make – with her – a momentous discovery: the tomb is empty, he is risen!
Notes for Readers
First Reading: Acts of the Apostles 10:34-43
This is the first of many readings from this book in our Easter Season. The context of this passage is that Peter has been invited to address the household of the Roman centurion Cornelius: Cornelius was not a Jew, but was a just and good man, who had a vision telling him to invite Peter to his home. Peter arrives and Cornelius, after describing his vision, says, "You have been kind enough to come. Here we all are, assembled in front of you to hear what message God has given you for us." So Peter is in the situation of introducing this man and his household to faith in Jesus Christ – Cornelius knows nothing of the Gospel message. So Peter gives the discourse you read on this day. This is a testimony – an eye-witness account – and should be read with great personal conviction, especially from the words, "Now I, and those with me, can witness to everything he did…" Peter is giving the Good News as he has received it to Cornelius, who is thirsty for it. You too, as the proclaimer, must give this Good News on this holy day to those listening to you: not by "tub-thumping" or high-blown oratory, but by your quiet confidence in the truth and importance of what you are reading.
Second Reading: Colossians 3:1-4
A short reading – but full of power. It's definitely a "morning-after" sort of reading: the morning after Baptism and the Renewal of Baptism. There is a "here and now" truth about it. The first sentence emphasises this: "Since YOU have been brought back to true life with Christ (in Baptism), YOU must (now) look for the things that are in heaven…" where the 'you' is the Sunday congregation. The phrase "you have died" is an explicit reference to Baptism – see the New Testament reading at the Easter Vigil. The final line is a wonderful promise: because it is addressed to us all today, it is worth practising so that you can look up at the people as you say: "… you too will be revealed in all your glory with him." Really make everyone think about what this means!
Alternative Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 5:6-8
This reading is more subtle: again it is about baptism, but less explicitly, referring rather to the change which baptism implies. This is explained by the image of yeast – by baptism (and its annual renewal) we rid ourselves of the old yeast and become a beautiful fresh, new batch of unleavened bread (a lively reference to the Passover feast which makes us think of the Last Supper, the sacrifice of the Lord on the cross and the Mass). Be careful that people catch the image – if they miss the word "yeast", this whole reading will be lost! Take it slowly and carefully. Emphasise the words "celebrate the feast" and "sincerity and truth."
From the Catechism
The Resurrection of Christ and our resurrection
Easter, the Lord's Day
The Sacraments of Initiation
Sunday is the pre-eminent day for the liturgical assembly, when the faithful gather "to listen to the word of God and take part in the Eucharist, thus calling to mind the Passion, Resurrection, and glory of the Lord Jesus, and giving thanks to God who 'has begotten them again, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead' unto a living hope":
Beginning with the Easter Triduum as its source of light, the new age of the Resurrection fills the whole liturgical year with its brilliance. Gradually, on either side of this source, the year is transfigured by the liturgy. It really is a "year of the Lord's favour." The economy of salvation is at work within the framework of time, but since its fulfillment in the Passover of Jesus and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, the culmination of history is anticipated "as a foretaste," and the kingdom of God enters into our time.
Therefore Easter is not simply one feast among others, but the "Feast of feasts," the "Solemnity of solemnities," just as the Eucharist is the "Sacrament of sacraments" (the Great Sacrament). St. Athanasius calls Easter "the Great Sunday" and the Eastern Churches call Holy Week "the Great Week." The mystery of the Resurrection, in which Christ crushed death, permeates with its powerful energy our old time, until all is subjected to him.
At the Council of Nicaea in 325, all the Churches agreed that Easter, the Christian Passover, should be celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon (14 Nisan) after the vernal equinox. Because of the different methods of calculating the 14th day of the month of Nisan, the date of Easter in the Western and Eastern Churches is not always the same. For this reason, the Churches are currently seeking an agreement in order once again to celebrate the day of the Lord's Resurrection on a common date.

Wild Trade James Sheppard to San Jose Sharks
The Minnesota Wild and the San Jose Sharks made a trade again. This time, the Wild sent 24 year old defenseman James Sheppard to the Sharks for a 2013 3rd round draft pick.
Sheppard was suspended all of last season after injuring his knee in a all-terrain accident vehicle accident.
The Sharks have already confirmed the trade, but it is not completely done yet because Sheppard sustained a second injury to his knee and is not expected to be ready for training camp.
The Wild traded Brent Burns and a 2012 second round pick to the San Jose Sharks on June 24th Devin Setoguchi, a first round pick, and Charlie Coyles.

Our Story
Once upon a time, there was an old man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach every morning before he began his work. Early one morning, he was walking along the shore after a big storm had passed and found the vast beach littered with starfish as far as the eye could see, stretching in both directions.
Off in the distance, the old man noticed a small boy approaching. As the boy walked, he paused every so often and as he grew closer, the man could see that he was occasionally bending down to pick up an object and throw it into the sea. The boy came closer still and the man called out, "Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?"
The young boy paused, looked up, and replied "Throwing starfish into the ocean. The tide has washed them up onto the beach and they can't return to the sea by themselves," the youth replied. "When the sun gets high, they will die, unless I throw them back into the water."
The old man replied, "But there must be tens of thousands of starfish on this beach. I'm afraid you won't really be able to make much of a difference."
The boy bent down, picked up yet another starfish and threw it as far as he could into the ocean. Then he turned, smiled and said, "It made a difference to that one!"
adapted from The Star Thrower, by Loren Eiseley (1907 – 1977)

My Success Story:
I did not have a whole lot of health issues and am basically healthy but I want to stay that way as I get older. I took this course so that hopefully I can avoid the pitfalls of so many of my generation and my parent's generation whereby they tend to rely on the the medical system and medications to cure their ailments. I believe in prevention.
Since taking the TAFY course I have lost 5 lbs, have an excellent blood pressure rating, sleeping better with almost no anxiety. The arthritis on my right hand has greatly improved with no pain to close my fingers. My BSQ score dropped from 29 to 14. I will continue to work on bringing up my body temperature.

Deep boreholes provide a direct insight into the underground geological environment and its structure.
Two drilling techniques are widely used:
In destructive drilling, the rock is crushed in the borehole. A fluid is pumped through the drill-pipe, which flushes the rock fragments (cuttings) to the surface. The drilling fluid is circulated in a closed circuit.
In cored boreholes, which are more costly to drill, hollow drill-bits grind only the rock at the edge of the borehole and the core in the centre remains intact. The core is loosened and pulled to the surface where the rock can be investigated in more detail.
The investigations are also supplemented by a range of borehole measurements - so-called logs - as well as hydrogeological and rock mechanical tests.
According to the Nuclear Energy Act, Nagra's exploratory boreholes require a permit from the Federal Department of the Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications (DETEC). Nagra intends to submit the necessary in 2016. The federal authorities will review the applications together with the affected Cantons and communities. The decision of the Federal Council on Stage 2 of the Sectoral Plan is expected for 2018. Up-to-date information on the status of these exploratory boreholes can be found on the website "Tiefbohrungen" (in German).
To date, Nagra has drilled around 1000 to 2500 metres of borehole in Northern Switzerland as part of the investigation programme for the demonstration of disposal feasibility (Entsorgungsnachweis). The boreholes are:
|1501 meters (1982 to 1983)
|2482 meters (1983)
|1801 meters (1983 to 1984)
|2006 meters (1983 bis 1984)
|1306 meters (1984)
|1689 meters (1984 to 1985)
|1522 meters (1988 to 1989)
|1007 meters (1998 to 1999)
Exploration applications
With a view to Stage 3 of the Sectoral Plan process, Nagra submitted applications for permits for eight exploratory boreholes in each of the siting regions Jura Ost and Zürich Nordost in September 2016. The applications for the Nördlich Lägern region followed in August 2017.
The applications were open for public inspection in the affected communities in the Jura Ost region between 27th February and 28th March. The inspection period in Zürich Nordost ran from 13th March until 26th April. The public inspection in Nördlich Lägern began on on 1st November 2017. All public inspections were completed on 16th January 2018. On 21th August 2018, the first three permits (Bülach, Marthalen and Trüllikon 1) have already been granted by DETEC and others are expected in the coming months.
The planned exploratory boreholes in the Jura Ost region are Zeihen, Effingen 1, Riniken 2, Remigen 1, Remigen 2, Bözberg 1, Bözberg 2 and Effingen 2.
The planned exploratory boreholes in the Nördlich Lägern region are Weiach, Bülach, Stadel 1, Eglisau, Stadel 2, Glattfelden, Stadel 3.
The planned exploratory boreholes in the Zürich Nordost region are Uhwiesen, Laufen, Trüllikon 1, Trüllikon 2, Rheinau, Dachsen, Marthalen, Trüllikon 3.

Elia Kazan on Marilyn Monroe: Our Arms Are Empty
Interview with Elia Kazan
Conducted by James Grissom
We are going to talk about and think about Marilyn [Monroe] for the rest of time, and we should. We're going to talk about and think about her because, while she would like to be remembered as an actress and a human being who was a woman, we are going to remember her as a lesson in abuse, neglect, and greed. We threw away a person, a life, and the opportunities that her growth and happiness would have provided for all of us. We share in glory and grief with others--learn this and remember this--and here is a horrible and public reminder in a beautiful woman of what happens when we forget that and ask for the creamy reward of a quick turnaround and a quicker exit. We fall asleep and remember the deaths and the tragedies and for me--for most people who knew Marilyn--her face and her life and her exit--flit across our minds. We didn't reach out soon enough, and our arms are empty.

My Idea was to involve the game: COnnect the dots in the programme book. Every speaker had his/her own word thet described what he/she does. This word was my inspiration on a illustration on connecting the dots. This way you could have a little extra fun, and remember after what the talk was about without reading the text.

With its cramped street course layout, the Chevrolet Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix was hardly likely to be a festival of overtaking any more than Monaco is for F1. Starting from pole position alongside Will Power and Simon Pagenaud, Scott Dixon therefore always had the whip hand and looked like the man to beat.
No man could: but the track itself gave it a good try of beating all the drivers when it started to disintegrate mid-race, resulting in a two hour red flag for new concrete patches to be laid down before racing could resume - with Dario Franchitti emerging as the unlikely principal beneficiary of the ensuing chaos.
It hadn't exactly been the cleanest start to the race in the first place. Alex Tagliani was absent from his hard won fourth place in the line-up with problems with his Honda engine's electronic control unit and had to duck into pit lane before the green flag, and while the top three - Dixon, Power and Pagenaud - quickly went line astern, the rest of the field was a muddle. Dario Franchitti was able to make up a couple of positions in the scramble, but Justin Wilson ended up pushed out wide in the same move and tapped the wall with his right rear wheel. That damaged his car's wishbone suspension, leaving the last IndyCar winner at Detroit in 2008 back in pit lane for lengthy repairs and firmly out of contention.
"Not a great day," admitted Wilson. "We brushed the wall on lap one, bent the wishbone, and I'm really disappointed with that. That ended our day pretty much. The guys worked hard trying to give us a good car and we got caught up. We fixed it, went back out, tried to learn a couple of things."
The top three were soon cruising away with it, while fourth-placed man EJ Viso was struggling on the same set of scuffed tyres that he'd used in qualifying and as a result getting very loose, almost losing it completely at one stage before gathering the car up again. Despite his problems, the dozen cars behind him - led by Ryan Hunter-Reay and Ryan Briscoe - started to get frustrated as they were bottled up behind him in a long train.
Briscoe tried to make the best of it by attempting a pass on Hunter-Reay only to find himself blocked by a long slow move out to the wall by the Andretti Autosport car; in the process, Briscoe's front wing touched the back of Hunter-Reay's car and sustained some damage which ultimately contributed to him losing several positions over the ensuing laps. Hunter-Reay himself was given a "don't do that again" warning from race control, but no actual penalty was handed down on this occasion as race director Beaux Barfield continued to gradually redefine the understanding of blocking moves in the series in 2012.
While Tagliani had rejoined and was quickly moving up the field again, and even Wilson finally came back out for some practice albeit 23 laps off the lead, a few other cars suffered mechanical problems and exited the race for good: first up was Rubens Barrichello, whose gambit of switching cars overnight came to nought when the engine itself started to misfire and forced him to park it in pit lane.
"I'll tell you, this weekend has been very bad. I'm so sorry for the guys, they have been trying so hard to change my car overnight," he said. "For some reason my chassis wasn't doing very well this morning it was better in the race. I could see my race picked up a lot but then the engine started to misfire. We still tried on the pit lane to do something but it was all over, unfortunate."
Sebastien Bourdais also lost power and had to retire - his abrupt slowing catching out Dario Franchitti immediately behind him, with the #10 Ganassi clipping the edge of its front wing on the rear wheel guards of the Dragon. And shortly afterwards, James Jakes took to the runoff area in turn 8 with brake problems.
"[The] team did a great job getting me back out on track after I came in for brake troubles," he said. "I hoped we'd be able to make a bit of that lost time up. The throttle just didn't want to cooperate though."
Now it was coming up to the first round of pit stops: the magic number was 30 laps to make this a two-stopper, but it was a big ask and some cars such as Tony Kanaan and Marco Andretti (and Tagliani by default) made an early call to go off-sync, get away from the traffic jam behind Viso and then use the extra stop to allow them to burn some fuel in the newly acquired clear space.
Dario Franchitti was the first of the main group to come in to the pits on lap 26, not least to have that damaged front wing looked over; a replacement was not deemed necessary. The struggling Viso - who had in the meantime clouted the wall with his loose-handling car - was in a lap later, earlier than his fuel usage required and still outside the two-stop window; freed of the KV-shaped road block ahead, Hunter-Reay was finally able to get his foot down and pull away a little from Helio Castroneves now running behind him in fifth before they too had to come into pit lane for their first fuel stops.
Pagenaud was in from third on lap 29, still needing a touch of yellow to make it on just one more stop after this; but there was no such problem for the two leaders, Dixon and Power, with regards to making it to the magic 30 lap distance - and indeed three laps beyond. Dixon certainly had the measure of Power at this point and not only retained the lead when he came back out, but had a mighty ten seconds over Power in second.
After the first pit stops had completed, the off-sync early pit stops of Kanaan, Tagliani and Andretti now put those drivers in the top six - but they still had two stops to make where the others likely just had the one. Still, given their lowly positions stuck way down the field on lap 1, it was as good a gamble as any. You never know, anything could happen in the next half hour ...
It looked as though Kanaan's gamble hadn't worked out when there were no cautions and he finally had came in for his next pit stop on lap 39; but as he emerged out on the track, all hell was suddenly breaking lose. To start with there was Takuma Sato cutting a corner too close, clattering over the curbing and losing the handling putting him into the wall at turn 12.
"I clipped a very high curb and that made a huge kickback in the steering wheel and it slipped from my grip and that was the end of the race," Sato confirmed.
That was a caution to be sure, but it was nothing compared to what was unfolding at the same moment going into turn 6: James Hinchcliffe's left wheel was suddenly jolted upwards by what looked like a massive chunk of debris, losing him his handling and sending him burrowing deep into the tyre barrier. Hinchcliffe climbed out and walked over to where the debris had been to check that he could believe what he'd just seen with his own eyes: sure enough, the track was coming apart.
"I have never seen anything like it," he said. "We had these big pieces of tar just sort of ripping up from lap 5. The debris was out there. It was tough to drive around it.
"The lap before the accident, I had this chunk hit me in the wing in turn 9. I radioed to the guys to make sure the wing was all right because it was a big hit," he continued. "Then going through 6, I turned in and a piece of the tar, whatever, just folded over with a giant chunk of concrete. It launched the front-end of the car in the air. I was just a passenger at that point."
In various sections of the Belle Isle street course, parts of the track had been patched over before the weekend using long strips of inlaid tar sealants. This patchwork cure had held up through a packed program of Grand-Am and Firestone Indy Lights support races as well as IndyCar practice and qualifying, but under the sustained pounding of the race itself the aerodynamic ground force effects of the DW12 had literally sucked the strips out of the ground and started sending chunks of tar flying into the air. It had been picked up on early in the race: Hunter-Reay said that he'd radioed his team about the emerging problem as early as lap 18 and JR Hildebrand had considerable damage to his front wing to prove it.
There followed the astonishing sight of track workers literally peeling the strips of asphalt out of the concrete road surface at six different parts of the track, and then frantic contingency planning leading to the arrival of quick dry cement being poured into the deep long scars left in the road surface. In the meantime the drivers had parked in pit lane under red flag conditions, standing around chatting and getting interviewed by increasingly desperate TV crews trying to fill a huge amount of air time. Anything rather than sitting and watching concrete (rather than paint) dry. A brief shower didn't do much to steady nerves. Some of the drivers - Graham Rahal, Oriol Servia and Simon Pagenaud - were meanwhile getting some nasty blisters on their hands taken care off, testament to how much of a physical punishment the bumpy street course had inflicted on them in just 45 laps.
Finally the concrete was in place. Tony Kanaan and Will Power did a reconnaissance lap in a pace car to determine they were happy to green light the restart. Kanaan didn't sound thrilled, but agreed that it was good enough to try a 15-lap sprint finish to reward all the fans (both in Detroit and those watching on TV) for sticking with them during the extended delay: "It's borderline," he admitted. "I wouldn't feel comfortable running the full distance."
There was however a period of confusion surrounding the rules for the restart and whether they were allowed to get any car repairs (no - but Hildebrand had to, and took the penalty) or change tyres (yes, but only staying on the same tyre compound.) The latter ruling angered Briscoe, who was furious to be left stuck on the harder tyres at the crucial moment: the Penske pit crew brusquely told him to deal with it or park it - which shut him up pretty quickly.
Finally it was time to try getting the show back underway - for everyone except Graham Rahal, whose car refused to get refired with clutch problems, putting him two laps down. Everyone else still running took a couple of sighting laps with track officials pointing out the patched areas so everyone knew what to avoid if at all possible. The running order for the sighting lap was Dixon, Power and Pagenaud, followed by Kanaan whose pit stop had just worked out for him to retain the position after all. Then came Castroneves in fifth, followed by Franchitti who had worked his way back up to sixth place thanks to that slightly early stop of his own.
Then just as they lined up for the double-file restart came a brief but sharp shower to wet parts of the track and add another layer of uncertainty to the conditions. You just knew this wasn't going to go smoothly. As they came to the green flag, Dixon managed to back up the field heading to the start/finish line before then putting his foot down: that caught out Power, who promptly lost a position down the start/finish straight to Simon Pagenaud. Franchitti also benefited and moved up from sixth to fourth at the same time, taking Oriol Servia with him past Tony Kanaan.
But at least they were all still pointing in the right direction, unlike Helio Castroneves who spun going into turn 6 and then sustaining a secondary hit from Ed Carpenter who lost the back end of his own car and clipped the front end of the stalled #3. One turn on and Josef Newgarden had slid up against the tyre wall which caused a gaggle of cars to come to a near-stop as they navigated around the stalled #67.
"I feel bad that we got clipped from behind at the end, because we had already had bad luck for most of the race," said the Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing rookie. " We had a great strategy going but had to come in to the pits early because I had a puncture on one of my tyres from the rough track."
Briscoe had also been caught up in that second incident and turned around after contact with JR Hildebrand: he took the opportunity to pit in order to finally change to the soft red tyres, but that plunged him down to 16th position in the process.
"A disappointing finish for sure," said Briscoe. "Unfortunately we got caught with too much pick up on the tyres when the race started then we got turned around on the restart. This is certainly not where we wanted to finish."
A caution was a foregone conclusion, but it was quickly cleared up and the next restart was to be with nine laps remaining of the now-60 lap event. For the second time of the day, Dixon controlled the start beautifully and Pagenaud had no chance to pounce; instead it was Dario Franchitti who weaved around both Power and then Pagenaud to nip into second place before anyone knew what was happening. And just as well he made it fast, because then Marco Andretti tapped the back of EJ Viso going into turn 4 and the KV Racing car was spun around and stalled in the middle of a track, triggering yet another caution.
Dixon now had his own team mate alongside him for the third attempt at a restart: how to defend without doing him any harm? He played it beautifully and Franchitti knew it and quickly conceded, falling in behind the #9 and ensuring that neither Pagenaud not Power got any funny ideas. There was a Ganassi 1-2 in the offing, and neither driver wanted to be the man to lose it.
Further back there were neat moves by Newgarden on Hildebrand and Tagliani on the wounded car of Marco Andretti after his hit with EJ Viso, but nothing to bring out a caution: it seemed that the slickness of the passing shower had now burnt off, and the patched areas were also holding up, meaning that they could finally run to the end without further interruptions.
It had been a flawless performance for Dixon, who had led the entire race - and by a huge margin before the red flag. Even more impressive in many ways was the way he had controlled the restarts however.
"A 1-2 finish for the Target boys for the second week in a row," said Dixon: "I am super happy for the team."
Far more unexpected was Dario Franchitti, who had turned a 14th place on the starting grid and a deeply disappointing outlook for the weekend coming in with a touch of midweek 'flu to claim the runners-up position.
"I thought in the first couple of laps I had a chance, but I couldn't, he was too quick," said Franchitti of the final stint behind Dixon. "But that's not to take anything away from the job Dixie did, and a 1-2 for Team Target after his brilliant qualifying and my abysmal one, we'll take it."
And how about Simon Pagenaud, the relative new boy of the IndyCar field, who had outsmarted none other than Will Power for the final podium position? He was understandably thrilled with the outcome.
"Tremendous day for Honda," he beamed. "The guys have done such a great job providing us with a super good powerplant, today is just the testament to all the work.
"It's amazing to be a one-car team and fighting against Penske and Ganassi," he added. "I've found like it's living the dream. So we're very happy today. What else can I say, really? It was just a fantastic day for us."
It might have been a somewhat improvised 15-lap shoot-out, but it had actually been worth the wait in the end. And certainly for Ganassi, those last few laps and final restarts had been a dream come true to make it an all-Honda podium in General Motors' backyard at a race that Roger Penske himself had been promoting.
"Hats off to the fans who stuck around through something that was totally unexpected," said the race winner, Scott Dixon. "I'd like to give a lot of credit to everyone at IndyCar and the Detroit staff for getting the track back in shape so we could race. The final 15-lap shootout was exciting for me, so I sure hope the fans liked it."
Dixon's victory and Franchitti's second place should make the remaining races of the season a very interesting cat-and-mouse affair between the various Ganassi and Penske, Honda and Chevrolet camps. And one can't help but think that some of the tensions coming into the race - especially on the Chevy team owners' side - have hardly been calmed by the end result.
Final race positions available.

Join us this Tuesday, June 18, for a presentation about implementing evidence into practice. The presentation will begin at 11:30am in AV2 on the second floor of the Macdonald-Kelce Library.
"The biggest challenge in healthcare today is providing cost-effective, evidence-based quality care that improves practice and patient outcomes. Creating an evidence-based organization is more than providing healthcare providers with evidence-based information. A true evidence-based organization generates and synthesizes evidence, implements it into practice, and then evaluates the practice changes and patient outcomes. This session will explain the definition, purpose, and methodology of evidence-based practice and translational science as well as how to implement evidence into practice and overcome the barriers to implementation for healthcare institutions and academic centers."
Our presenter will be Chief Nurse Anne Woods.
"Anne Dabrow Woods is the Chief Nurse of Wolters Kluwer Health Medical Research Division which includes Lippincott Williams & Wilkins and Ovid Technologies. Anne has over 15 years of publishing experience, 29 years of experience in nursing and healthcare and has been a nurse practitioner for 15 years. Anne still practices as a nurse practitioner in acute care and is adjunct faculty. In her role as Chief Nurse, she is responsible for developing the nursing and evidence-based strategy for the company. Anne received her Bachelor's Degree from West Chester University, her Master's Degree from LaSalle University and is completing her Doctoral Degree at Texas Christian University."

Reclaim The Night March, Glasgow - 26th November 2012
November is upon us again and this year, Rape Crisis, Glasgow is marking the 16 Days of Action for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on Monday 26th November 2012 with their annual Reclaim the Night march and rally.
The 16 Days of Action links 25th November, which is International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and 10th December, International Human Rights Day so that we can recognise that violence against women is a violation of women's human rights. Along with groups worldwide, the staff and management of Rape Crisis, Glasgow are committed to …
· raising awareness about gender-based violence as a human rights issue at the local, national, regional and international levels
· strengthening local work around violence against women
· establishing a clear link between local and international work to end violence against women
· providing a forum in which organizers can develop and share new and effective strategies
· demonstrating the solidarity of women around the world organizing against violence against women
· creating tools to pressure governments to implement promises made to eliminate violence against women
… in our call for the elimination of all forms of violence against women – violence that includes rape, sexual assault, prostitution and pornography, trafficking, domestic abuse, female genital mutilation...
Please take some time to check out the website of the Centre for Women's Global Leadership on http://www.cwgl.rutgers.edu for more information on what's happening internationally between 25th November and 10th December 2012.
This year the theme of the Glasgow event will be "WOMEN ARE NOT FOR SALE IN SCOTLAND". We want to speak out in support of the importance of promoting equality in Scotland for all women, using a challenging demand approach to prostitution and highlighting potential legislation to support this.
The route for the Reclaim the Night march in Glasgow will once again start from Botanic Gardens corner of Great Western Road and Queen Margaret Drive at 6.30 pm, down Byres Road, University Avenue, Gibson Street, Eldon Street and will end with a rally in the STUC. As always, there will be hot drinks, food, speeches and music at the end of the march.
You can download a flyer for the event here. Please cascade this flyer and information down to any colleagues you think may be interested in joining us on the march.
All welcome. This is not a women only event.

The J-Spec Mileage Promise
Only with J-Spec...
With the majority of imports sadly now having their mileage wound back by dealers when imported into Australia, a lot of trust has been eroded thanks to the proliferation of degenerates doing this, and if you're ever looking at a car with a used car dealer we'd strongly recommend Googling their name and seeing if they are one of those well known for ripping people off.
There are also services which allow checks to be done on locally available cars against the Japanese paperwork and more often than not people find out when looking at a car already in Australia that indeed they have been outright lied to by the dealer who imported it. Examples of such a services are Japanese Odometer Check, Bespoke Inc and Japanese History Check.
You can read a VERY useful article on wound back mileage here... it's well worth it.
This has led some people to think therefore that buying an import means you are taking a risk with the mileage, but in fact if importing yourself though a consultant such as J-Spec this can't be further from the truth. Mileage in Japan is very reliable due to excellent systems they have in place, and with J-Spec you can avoid this kind of pitfall, and that's why we are proud to explicitly state on our site our mileage promise.
The J-Spec Mileage Promise is simple. We promise that for any car J-Spec sources in Japan, you will always receive the ORIGINAL Export Certificate which proves that the mileage has not been wound back at time of import to mislead you, the consumer. You will have official documentation which helps determine the real kilometres displayed on your car and we will not hide this information from you.
At J-Spec we firmly believe in transparency and ensuring customers know the truth, and this Promise is the best way we can do this, and avoid our customers being ripped off as so many are by Australian dealers who engage in dishonest and illegal speedo tampering.
In some situations vehicles will have mileage which does not match up with the Export Certificate, the most common example being where a car has had a speedometer changed from say it's standard 180kph speedo to an aftermarket, sportier 300kph speedo. In these cases the speedo may have been reset to zero at that time and so there will be a discrepancy between the Export Certificate and what is currently displayed on the car. If there is any discrepancy such as this in Japan the seller of the vehicle is by law required to inform potential buyers in advance, and in these cases we will inform you in advance so you can still choose to buy fully informed.

Decca Deccalian Motor Mounting Replacement.
Further to my amplifier problems
I now have a loud graunching sound at 78 rpm coming from beneath the turntable. On inspection the motor mounting grommets have rotted away causing the motor to drop which in turn caused part of the speed change mechanism to bind on the brass motor pulley, you can see the brass filings in this picture:
And the state of the grommets:
Preliminary steps:
Remove the pickup and tie the tone arm to its suppport
Remove the 2 wooden fillets fore and aft of the deck and the deck will lift off the wooden supports at each side. Note how the fillets are located. Lift the deck vertically until the springs it sits on clear the supports before tilting it, otherwise the springs will get distorted. Tilt and twist the deck towards the rear of the machine taking care not to stretch any wires. Unplug the 3 pin plug connecting the pickup to the amplifier and tilt the deck further until you can get to the wires connected to the motor. Mine were connected to a 2 way chocolate block. Remove the amplifier switch, use a 3/8 BSF (5/46 BSW) spanner on the nut beneath the baseplate, this saves marking the knurled nut on the top. The deck can now be lifted away from the case.
The motor and speed change assembly come away as one unit:
1) Disconnect the motor, remove the switch if neccessary; there is a descrepancy between the circuit diagram and they way my motor was connected.
2) Remove the circlip from the peg where the link from the speed-change knob is connected to the speed change mechanism. This peg isn't fixed, so be careful not to lose it. Lift the link off the peg.
3) Remove the turntable, there's a grub screw (or 2) in a hole on the side of the bearing, slacken this off sufficiently to release the turntable.
4) Remove the idler pulley, take care not to lose the brass spacer.
4) Undo the cheese-head screws and nuts that hold the assembly to the deck, there are spacers inside the black grommets, they may fall out.
5) Remove the three dome-headed screws that fasten the speed change mechanism to the motor mounting plate. Note the large spacers, the mounting plate is tapped to take these screws.

Re: Decca Deccalian Motor Mounting Replacement.
6) Note the relative positions of the motor and its mounting plate and undo the three screws holding the motor to its mounting plate, these are tapped into the motor, there are three spacers and washers which will most likely be embedded in the gunge that was once the mounting grommets. Clean all the gunge off, I used a sharp chisel.
Putting it back together:
1) Acquire
3 off grommets 6mm
2 off grommets 9mm
6 off M5 Washers
2) Slice the 9mm grommets in half so that they form rubber washers.
3) Install the new washers/grommets and original screws/washers/spacers like this:
The bits in blue are the new grommets; green, the original fixings and purple the M5 washers.
1) Fit the motor to the plate, don't forget the spacers, these are essential, if you omit them there is a risk that the screws will screw in too far and damage the motor windings.
2) Re-assemble it all but don't fit to the deck, fit the idler (don't forget the brass spacer, no need for the circlip yet)
3) Check the clearance between the bottom of the idler and the top of the 78rpm pulley on the motor shaft:
If there isn't enough clearance move one of the M5 washers from above the motor plate to below, this will lower the motor slightly relative to the idler.
4) When the clearance is OK assemble it all, less the idler, and install back on the baseplate using the 2 screws and nuts furthest away from the speed-change link, leaving them slack, omit the screw nearest the link.
5) Raise the short link on the assembly away from the deck and insert the pivot peg. Slide some folded paper between the deck and the head of the peg, this will stop it moving when fitting the link.
6) Fit the 3rd screw and tighten up
7) Refit the motor switch, insert it in its hole and fit the knurled nut so it's flush with the top of the threaded boss then screw the hexagonal nut up to secure the switch. Note it's orietnation so that the lever points forward when switched on.
At this point it's worth paying some attention to the speed-change control, mine was gunged up with dried grease.
1) Remove the knob by pulling upwards
2) Remove the circlip from below the knob and push the shaft downwards through its bush.
3) Clean all the grease off and re-assemble, a drop of light oil should be applied to the shaft prior to inserting it into the bush.
4) Fit the end of the link to peg, fit the circlip and remove the paper.
5) Lightly oil the rubbing surfaces of the speed-change mechanism
6) Re-fit the idler & circlip, putting a drop of oil on the shaft
7) Put a drop of oil in the turntable bearing and refit the turntable.
8) Tighten the grub screw then turn it back a full turn, check the turntable runs free and won't lift off. If there was a 2nd grub screw tighten it up against the first one to lock it.
9) Re connect the motor supply and pickup connector
At this point it may be a good idea to slip some sleeving on the rubber wires carrying mains to the motor and the two switches, I used spiral binding as this can be fitted without disconnecting the wires.
Refit the deck:
1) Lower it vertically so the springs seat in the pockets on the side runners, it may be necessary to move the deck about a bit to get the springs to locate correctly.
2) Check the turntable runs quietly on both speeds.
3) Refit the front and rear fillets
4) Release the tone arm and refit the pickup.

So what is Dim Weight?
Dim weight, also known as dimensional weight or volumetric weight, is the calculation of a package's volume or density.
In the logistics world, it is often used to help freight companies gain an idea of how much weight will be loaded on a truck, and this helps the businesses and drivers through other processes that occur during the shipping and delivery duration.
Ever since two of the biggest residential and commercial shipping companies, FedEx and UPS, announced in 2015 that they will begin using dim weight to calculate their shipping fees, the country has been up in arms over the issue. Some people believe that shipping and logistics industries are using this calculation method to make more money at the customer's expense.
However, what many folks shipping freight do not realize is that the dim weight factor has been used throughout the logistics industry for decades. In fact, many residential and commercial shipping as well as 3pl logistics companies are beginning to price their shipping rates based on the dim weight calculation method, as opposed to the actual weight of the package. Even the United States Postal Service uses dimensional weight for shipping large packages.
How is Dim Weight Calculated?
So, how is dim weight calculated? The calculation for ground freight varies slightly from air cargo. Domestic air freight uses the following calculation:
Package's length multiplied by its width and height then divided by 166. International air dim weight freight calculations are similar, except they use 139 as the divisor. Domestic freight dimensional weight calculations are based on a similar mathematical equation, but industry standards tell us to use 194 as the divisor.
For instance, let's say we have a client that needs to ship one pallet of pillows from New York City to San Francisco. The dimensions of the skid of pillows measures
19.5 by 9.5 by 9.5 and its actual weight is 6 pounds. According to the industry standard dim weight calculation to ship this pallet of pillows to San Francisco using ground freight, we must first figure out its cubic sized, rounded to the nearest whole number. To do this, first, we round the actual measurements to 20, 10, and 10. Then, we
multiply those numbers together to receive the package's rounded cubic size: 2,000 cubic inches.
Once we know the cubic inches of the package, we then divide that number by 194 to determine the dimensional weight in pounds: 10.30. Rounded to the nearest whole number, the dim weight of the pallet of pillows is 10 pounds. Champion Logistics uses the standard domestic ground freight dim weight calculation to determine the dimensional weight of the freight we ship.

|An aluminating idea
|Wednesday, 20 August 2014 16:04
TCCM says it offers something quite different as Blinds & Shutters found out
"We've always sought to offer customers a range of shutters and related window coverings which offer something different from the rest of the market. So, yes, we're pretty excited to be one of the first companies introducing an aluminium shutter product to the UK market."
Let's be clear – what Murray Clark, director of the TCMM Shutter Group refers to is not perhaps what you're thinking. This is not some form of roller or security shutter that TCMM has introduced. It's something quite different. The company, which historically makes up the majority of it's sales selling a range of wooden plantation shutters through it's different brands, has introduced a range of Aluminium shutters in exactly the same design as it's wood counterpart.
"Aluminium shutters have grown from being a non-existent product in Australia some 10 years ago to today, being a large part of the window coverings market. It's proved extremely popular as solution to screen and weather protect outdoor living spaces. The product is exceptionally adaptable and can be used on windows, as a moveable 'wall' in it's own right or as a roof covering."
The Aluminium shutter range, which TCMM markets as Weatherwell and Weatherwell Elite, is manufactured both in China and the USA. Each range shares the same core product attributes – they look, to all intents and purposes like a regular wooden plantation shutter. They have a range of slat sizes, all adjustable and can be configured as fixed, hinged or sliding panels. The differences in the range are reflected in a range of product enhancements found in the Weatherwell Elite range – increased slat strength, greater manufacturing parameters and a number of clever security features not found on the standard Weatherwell range.
However, as Clark is the first to admit, a large part of the products success in Australia has been due to the marketing focus on selling the benefits of the product as an outdoor screening solution. Regions where good weather lends itself to outdoor living have been the most successful regions where the product has seen sales success.
"We're not under any illusions that our aluminium shutters will take some time to resonate in peoples minds as a product they might consider. Sure, people's first thoughts about the shutter jump to images of sunnier climes than the UK, but that's not necessarily a true picture of why the product works. It's also great to screen off an weather protect when weather changes giving great protection from wind and rain."
TCMM's initial feedback since launching the product in initially via it's US business has seen a good amount of interest in the product, despite it's relatively high price point versus traditional wooden shutters.
Clark believes that incorporating the product at the planning stage works well as it gives the opportunity to create some interesting living spaces. Panels can be manufactured by having very large panels (4m high x 1m wide) and therefore open up new possibilities for this style of moveable louvre shutter. At present, TCMM is working to develop a range specifically for Kelly Hoppen who is looking to incorporate in a number of her own projects currently underway in Asia.
"Aluminium opens up a range of applications where wood is just not suitable. It's weatherproof, it's strong and it looks fantastic. Be it for outdoor structures where a customer may be looking to shield themselves from the elements – including the unreliable British weather – through to indoor installations, we are confident the Weatherwell range will find an audience in the UK, just as it has overseas"

A week or so ago I got an email from a woman who said she represented a group that was developing some kind of online health education program. The email had the words "weight management" in it, and enough about my blog to let me know it wasn't spam. I wrote the woman back and said that I thought she'd maybe misread my blog, because I'm definitely not interested in a weight loss program.
She wrote back and eventually it became clear that the program was in development, not something already running, and the people producing it are attempting to make it HAES-friendly but don't know how. It was her job to do market research by talking to bloggers and mine was the one of the few she found that talked about HAES (!!!) and that her bosses liked especially that I talk about exercise. (I think what happened was, she was looking at weight loss blogs and some how came across mine in the mix. She said the self-loathing on the other blogs was spectacular, which tells me they were not part of the Fatosphere.)
I sent her some resources and she wrote again asking if we could talk on the phone.
Remember when I wrote a few days ago about about being an FA Missionary?

Strong organisations
Resources to improve the management and financial performance of sports organisations, and the quality of services to members.
Managing Sport is for Sport New Zealand partners and others looking to improve the way their sporting organisation works, and find good practice, advice and research in a range of areas.
Resources to improve the management and financial performance of sports organisations, and the quality of services to members.
It also includes updated governance policies around sport specific ethics: anti-doping, match fixing, vulnerable participants, etc.
— The future success of sport and recreation in New Zealand depends on great leadership and better collaboration. The sector must 'work smart' to deliver value in a way that meets increasing participant expectations, and to compete for talented people to work and volunteer in the sector.
This Advisory sets out legal and practical issues to consider when travelling overseas for international competitions. It focuses on employees, although several issues are also relevant for volunteers and contractors. Thinking through these issues and putting appropriate arrangements in place ahead of time can prevent issues that could be distracting or disruptive during a competition, or create legal risk or liability
These templates are to help your organisation manage the financial side of your business. The policies have been recently updated to reflect current legislation and cover the areas of:
• Financial Management
• Risk
• Capital expenditure, Investments & Reserves
• Revenue & Receivables
• Operating expenditure & Payables
• Treasury
• Tax
In line with our strategic priority to build a world-leading system, Sport NZ launched the Governance Mark in 2016 as a way to take a leadership stance in setting governance standards for the play, active recreation and sport sector. Developed in partnership with the sector, it is the only externally accredited governance development programme of its kind internationally with a focus on play, active recreation and sport.
This report summarises research involving 24 separate national and regional sports and recreation organisations. It repeated similar research undertaken with the same organisations in 2003/04. Its aim was to obtain an up-to-date view of governance systems and practices in the sector and to identify and evaluate changes made since 2004.
Sport NZ has a strong interest in ensuring the partners we invest in are capable and sustainable. We work with National Sports Organisations to build capability in the priority areas of leadership development, governance, financial management, systems and processes, commercialisation and IT. We also have tools which help our partners' asses their strengths and weaknesses, and the challenges they face. This includes supporting sports to carrying out reviews when necessary. The following case study looks at a recent review carried out by the national body for cycling.

Campaigners from villages near Leamington have put three key suggestions before a parliamentary select committee which they believe will reduce the impact of HS2 on the area they live in.
Representatives of the joint parish council of Offchurch, Eathorpe, Hunningham and Wappenbury, Cubbington parish council, Weston-Under-Wetherley and the Cubbington and Offchurch HS2 action groups appeared at Westminster on Tuesday to put their case forward to the High Speed Rail (London - West Midlands) Bill Select Committee.
The three main changes and additions they would like to be made to HS2's current plan are a 1.7 kilometre deep bore tunnel under Cubbington wood, a cut and cover tunnel in Offchurch and a reduction of the height of the track back to the level it was at when plans were released in 2011.
The various groups put forward five petitions all with common issues regarding the protection of their villages and the Leam Valley.
Peter Delow, chairman of Cubbington's HS2 action group and vice chairman of the village's parish council, said: "We appreciate that HS2 has to cross the Leam Valley but it is important that the visual impact is minimised.
"South Cubbington Wood is ancient woodland and it would be impossible to replace if it is lost or damaged.
"The promoter here has the responsibility to sell its proposal to the local community, we need to know what the advantages of the current plans are and what way they are mitigating the impact on the area.
"We have no idea what will be done to reduce the noise - we feel HS2 Ltd needs to be able to produce information that is accessible by the average resident."
The committee also heard from Prof Mike Geddes, chairman of the Offchurch action group who also spoke on behalf of the joint parish council.
He said a cut and cover tunnel would minimise the negative impact the line could have on the village and its surrounding countryside.
Endorsing what had been said by his fellow campaigners, Weston-Under-Wetherley parish council's vice chairman Peter Haine said: "We do recognise the national need for new infrastructure be we also hope that in meeting this need the needs and hopes of local residents are taken into the equation."
The petitions will play a part in shaping the final bill for HS2.
* Cubbington falconer Robert Edwards went before the committee on Tuesday to put his case for compensation across.
The Leicester Lane resident, who keeps eight birds of prey on his premises, lives about 175 metres from the planned track and said he would be "literally surrounded" by construction works if or when the building project for HS2 gets underway.
He said that his business, which he set up in 2002, would be impacted in that a nearby field, where a farmer allows him to exercise his birds, will be lost to the works and that finding another suitable site where he could both live and keep the animals would be difficult and expensive.
He also raised concerns about stockpiles of earth at the construction site, which could cause his birds to catch aspergillosis, a "killer" respiratory condition, from airborne fungus.
Committee members were sympathetic to Mr Edwards' situation and recommended a detailed exploration into a package and solution to help him.

Are you married to a non-Christian? Do you have friends that are?
For the Husband Project, I really want women to see God active in their marriages whether they have a pre-believing spouse or a believing spouse.
That is why I am speaking with Dineen Miller and Lynn Donovan who co-wrote the book Winning Him Without Words: 10 Keys to Thriving in Your Spiritually Mismatched Marriage and host the website Spiritually Unequal Marriage. In this episode we will gain wisdom of what we can do for our husbands regardless of whether or not he is a believer and how we can be a better friend to those who are married to non-Christian husbands.
Another great book Dineen and Lynn wrote is Not Alone: Trusting God to Help You Raise Godly Kids in a Spiritually Mismatched Home.
Week after week, they sit in church . . . alone. They are the spiritually mismatched, those who are committed to a spouse who does not share their faith. Feeling abandoned by their spouse and forgotten by their church, they live out their faith in survival mode, guarding the spiritual flame yet never feeling free to share it. But God wants them to thrive–not just survive.
Winning Him Without Words presents ten Christ centered keys to thriving in a spiritual mismatch. Readers are encouraged to commit to Christian community, to release their spouse to God's capable hands, to find peace in their relationships with Christ and with their spouse, to continue their pursuit of a growing faith, and to love their spouse with fresh enthusiasm. God wants every marriage to exude peace and love, and Winning Him Without Words empowers readers to create that environment in their homes and thrive as God works.
Winning Him Without Words was the recipient of the Nonfiction Book of 2011 Award from the San Diego Christian Writers Guild, one of the largest Christian writers group in the United States.

We have a little family vineyard planted to 100% Syrah (Estrella River Clone / from Chapoutier – for those who care). We entered our first bottle (2004) into the 2007 El Dorado County Fair competition and were just informed that it won a Bronze Medal! Here's Dan corking the 2004 vintage in December of 2005.
The next month or so is going to be really busy for us. To keep the blog moving, I'm going to be reposting a few things that were removed when the old database / RSS troubles hit. A couple people have asked me to send a permalink for some of those removed articles, so it's probably good that I get them back in active circulation.

What is Far Infrared Ray (FIR) ?
Far-infrared radiant (FIR) heat is a completely safe form of naturally occurring energy that heats objects by a process called direct light conversion. Radiant heat is also called infrared heat or infrared energy. Direct light conversion warms only the object and does not raise the temperature of the surrounding free air. This type of energy travels 2-3" deep into the body and is thought by some to increase circulation and nourish damaged tissue.
FIR heat is not ultraviolet radiation but a narrow band of energy within the 5 to 15 micron level. The infrared segment of the electromagnetic spectrum is divided into 3 segments of wavelength measured in microns or micrometers (a microns = 1/1,000,000 of a meter); 0.076~1.5microns=near or close; 1.5~5.6middle or intermediate; 5.6~1,000=far or long wave infrared. The infrared segment of the electromagnetic spectrum occurs just below (infra) to red light as the next lowest energy band of light. This band of light is not visible to human eyes but can be seen by special cameras. We can, however, feel this type of light that we perceive as heat. Our sun produces most of its energy output in the infrared segment of the spectrum. Our atmosphere has a window in it that allows infrared rays in the 7-14micron range to safely reach the earth' surface. When warmed, the earth radiates infrared rays in the 7-14micron band with its peak output at 10microns.
The sun is the primary source of radiant energy, but not all of this energy is beneficial. Although life needs energy from the sun, too much sunlight damages the skin. FIR heat provides many of the health benefits of natural sunlight without any of the dangerous effects of solar radiation.
Benefits of Infrared Sauna
Infrared heat has some distinct advantages over traditional steam heat saunas, however many steam sauna advocates feel that an infrared sauna does not provide the same relaxing and invigorating experience as steam for a steam room or steam shower. This is an issue of personal preference.
Infrared heaters warm the body in the same manner as natural sunlight. FIR heat therapy uses the wavelength of the visible and non-visible light spectrum of sunlight that heats the body normally.
Traditional steam saunas raise the temperature of the air to a very high level within the chamber to warm the body. Some people have difficulty breathing in this extremely warm air. FIR saunas work differently. Instead of heating the air within the enclosure, FIR saunas heat the body directly. The result is a lower power bill and deeper tissue penetration. In the FIR sauna, the body perspires and receives all of the healthy benefits but avoids the harmful and extremely hot air of a traditional steam sauna. FIR saunas are safe for all ages.
Traditional saunas are more likely to spread and cultivate bacteria in the humid air, therefore an infrared sauna creates a more sanitary environment. An Infrared Sauna will heat up in a shorter time period than a steam sauna because it can heat the skin directly and does not need to heat the air. It should be noted that the steam from a steam shower heat is actually
Why Is FIR important to the human body?
FIR has the ability to penetrate, refract, radiate and reflect. The human body can absorb FIR because of its deep penetrating ability. When FIR penetrates through skin to the subcutaneous tissues, it transforms from light energy into heat energy. The thermal effect within the deep layers of the tissues causes bloods vessels and capillaries to dilate, promoting a better blood circulation, and the heat so produced helps to get rid of body toxins and metabolic wastes through sweating.
What are the health benefits of spending time in a sauna?
The health benefits of a FAR Infrared Sauna are numerous. Saunas are often used in the treatment of diseases and drug addictions, as well as for general therapy and well being. Some of the benefits include
Can Infrared Sauna Heaters and Saunas be used to perform Heat / Bikram Yoga?
Yes, the heat from an infrared will cause the human body to heat up and become more flexible. Infrared heaters can be used for Heat Yoga or Bikram Method Yoga.
Infrared Sauna Scam
Industry research has shown that infrared sauna heat does provide health benefits, so it is not a scam. However, some exaggerated claims about instant weight loss and increased health may be untrue.
Health Benefits of Infrared Saunas are said to include
Better Circulation and Increased Energy
The sauna emits FIR energy that is absorbed by human cells, causing a physical phenomenon called "resonance". Thus the cellular activities are instantly invigorated, resulting in a better blood circulation and an overall improved metabolism.
Weight Loss
FIR Sauna heat therapy can aid in weight loss by speeding up the metabolic process of vital organs and endocrine glands resulting in substantial caloric loss in a sauna heat session.
Cardiovascular Health
The FIR Sauna increases heart rate and blood circulation, crucial to maintaining one's health. The heart rate increases as more blood flow is diverted from the inner organs towards the extremities of the skin, without heightening blood pressure.
Speed Recovery from Injuries
For injuries, FIR generated heat stimulates vasodilatation of peripheral blood vessels, bringing oxygen to joints and extremities, speeding the healing of sprains and strains, thus relieving pain and reducing the time it takes the human body to recover from an injury.
The quicker metabolic rate causes extra toxic waste products to be purged from the body through the skin, during perspiration. The skin is often referred to as the 3rd kidney, because it is believed to be responsible for eliminating 30% of the body's waste.
Stress Reduction & Relaxation FIR Sauna heat treatment before a massage also helps prepare a client by creating an overall relaxing effect. It loosens the muscle tissue so the therapist can do a more thorough and effective massage.
Skin Beautification For that sought after healthy glow, FIR Sauna heat therapy allows increased blood circulation to carry great amounts of nutrients to the skin, thus promoting healthy tone and texture. A FIR Sauna heat bath also provides a mild cleansing of the skin.
Improved Immune System
By creating an "Artificial Fever", FIR heat has a positive effect on the immune system. Often misunderstood, fever is a natural healing response of the body. The function of the immune system is increased naturally during a fever, while virus and bacterial growth is slowed, weakening its hold. This helps the body ward off invading organisms. A FIR heat treatment in the early stages of a cold or flu has been known to stop the disease before the symptoms occur.
Can an Infrared Sauna help with acne?
Sweating and improving your circulation are probably good for acne, but there is no direct evidence that infrared saunas themselves do anything beneficial.

Things You Will Need
- Paper towels or plastic utensil
- Baking soda
- Grease cutting dish soap
- Clean cloth
Though you've made it abundantly clear that eating on the couch is forbidden, someone did it anyway; now there's a grease stain the size of Guam on your new rayon and polyester blend sofa. Well, maybe not that big, but it sure seems that way as you gaze upon your pretty new couch, and the giant grease stain stares back at you.
Grease stains are more inconvenient than anything else. Keeping that in mind, removing them is a breeze.
- Blot up a fresh grease stain with paper towels, and scrape away residual grease with a plastic utensil from an older grease stain.
- Cover the stain with baking soda if it is fresh. If the stain is older, dampen it with WD-40, and apply the baking soda.
- Allow the baking soda to sit on the stain for at least an hour. If possible, allow it to sit overnight.
- Vacuum up the baking soda with the brush attachment of the vacuum cleaner.
- Apply a small amount of grease-cutting dish soap to the area if there is any residual stain remaining, and work it in with a clean cloth or toothbrush.
- Allow the dish soap to sit on the area for half an hour.
- Rinse the dish soap away with a clean, damp cloth.
- Place a fan nearby to help the area to dry quickly.
Do not place anything on the dampened area until it is completely dry to avoid mold.

Annual senior exhibition highlights student work
An exhibition of works by nine graduating studio art majors will open with a reception in the upper gallery of the Museum of Art Friday, April 3, at 7 p.m. The public is invited to attend free of charge.
The thesis exhibit Annual Senior Exhibition represents the culmination of years of work for studio art majors and allows individual students the opportunity to explore a particular theme, medium or style. This year's exhibit includes works ranging from figurative drawings and paintings to botanical prints and industrial sculpture.
Under the direction of Robert Feintuch, a New York artist and member of the Bates art faculty, the following students will display their work: Gabriel Bach of Westport, Conn.; Kristen Connolly of Merrimack, N.H.; Robert Curtis of Laconia, N.H.; Jessica Klein of Montpelier, Vt.; Audrey Lucas of Abingdon, Md.; Susan Lamprey of Wayland, Mass.; Richard Papa Jr. of Bryn Mawr, Pa.; Jason Tamthai of Nontaburi, Thailand; and Joanna Werne of Norfolk, Conn.
In common with almost every Bates senior, studio art majors must complete a semester-long project as a thesis. Unlike most others, their efforts are put on public display. One of the exhibiting artists, Audrey Lucas, describes the importance of the exhibition: "Knowing my work is going to be seen by everyone makes the whole project very serious and me more critical of my technique. I'm very conscious of pushing myself harder."
The lower gallery of the museum will continue to display The Museum's Permanent Collection Highlights. The exhibits will remain on view until May 24. Regular hours at the Museum of Art are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, with additional hours often scheduled on the evening of concerts and other special events at the Olin Arts Center on Russell St. The galleries are closed Mondays, major holidays and during the installation of exhibitions. Admission is free.
More information is available by calling the museum at 207-786-6158.
