Chitralis seek separate education board
Chitral, Sept 03: The academic circles have demanded separate board of
intermediate and secondary education (BISE) for the district.
On Wednesday, they said that Chitral
qualified to have a separate education board due to its peculiar
geographical position and increasing number of candidates.
Residents said that the district remained cut off from rest of the
country for five months a year in winter when admission forms were
submitted to the BISE Peshawar. They said that both regular and private
students faced tremendous hardships and many students missed their
enrolment when flights, the only source of communication in winter,
remained cancelled.
Presently, they said, Chitral was
affiliated with the BISE Peshawar which was the largest board in the
NWFP and establishment of a new board would lessen its working load
apart from providing relief to the people of Chitral.
retired college principal said that the number of students in Chitral
had multiplied over the years. Currently the strength of candidates in
matriculation examination had reached 15,000 in the district.
He said that it was not possible to completely weed out corruption and
malpractices in examinations without the establishment of the BISE in
Chitral. The academician contended that Chitral was sparsely populated
district encompassing an area of 14,850 square kilometres. Only a
Chitral-based authority could fairly conduct examinations and solve
academic problems.
Locals said that a separate board would be
an authority to regulate schools and colleges in the private sector.
They sought upgradation of education standards at primary, secondary
and intermediate levels in Chitral.
They said that enrolment
rate in primary schools throughout the district stood at about 100 per
cent which meant rapidly increasing number of candidates for secondary
and higher secondary examinations. Local chapter of the Sarhad College
Teachers Association has already passed a unanimous resolution for the
establishment of a separate board in Chitral.

Regularisation of teachers opposed
Peshawar: All CT Teachers Association NWFP Wednesday staged a protest
demonstration against the government decision of regularising all
contract teachers and demanded that the government should first promote
the in-service teachers. The teachers gathered outside the press club
and were chanting slogans in favour of their demands. They said that
the recent decision of government to regularise the contract and
fixed-pay employees would affect the experienced in-service teachers.
They said that many teachers were waiting for their promotions since
long and government should immediately announce their promotions. The
protesters threatened that that if their demands were not met, they
would start province-wide agitation.
Teachers threaten to boycott classes
Peshawar: To press the university administration for acceptance of
their demands, the teachers of Institute of Business and Management
Sciences, NWFP Agricultural University, Wednesday staged a protest
demonstration and threatened to boycott classes if they were not given
their rights.
protesters were demanding service structure, regularisation of service,
autonomous status to the institute and allowances and hike in salary
like other teachers of the university. Holding banners and placards,
the protesters marched through various departments of the university
and gathered at the main lawn, where a protest gathering was held.
speakers alleged that the university administration had started
victimising them after they moved court for rights. The employees said
they were deprived of 15 per cent ad hoc relief announced by the
government despite the fact the administration had informed the
inspection team of the Peshawar High Court in writing that the ad hoc
relief had been provided to the IBMS teachers. They said the university
administration had committed contempt of court by providing wrong
information to the honourable court.
The speakers also
criticised the alleged harassment of some of the faculty members by the
university administration and warned that such steps should be stopped
forthwith otherwise they would go on a complete strike. The protesters
also condemned the abolishment of BIT Programme and said it was a
continuation of the revengeful activities of the varsity.
speakers declared if the university administration did not accept their
genuine demands they would start boycott of one class a day till Eid
and after Eid they would start complete strike. The news

"At times as the pressure was immense"
So its been a while since I wrote a blog… The last few weeks of 2016 were full on to say the least!! I had an exam to do (stress!!!) a case study, academic poster, ICPP assignment and Viva to complete. I didn't know what to do with myself at times as the pressure was immense. Thank goodness that I had planned my work out and was on top of it, but even that being said I haven't been as stressed as I was in December for a long time.
"I learnt a valuable lesson for coping with exams"
The exam in particular was a struggle for me. I do not perform well under exam conditions, retaining information under stress is really difficult and I felt like the stuff I'd learnt literally fell out of my head as I opened the exam paper. I learnt a valuable lesson for coping with exams – I need to prepare further out in future and not leave it until a week before to start the revision.
"I was starting to feel like I was living a parallel life to my family"
I allowed myself Christmas off to spend time with my lovely family because I had become acutely aware that I was spending less and less time with my kids as my deadlines were looming. It is absolutely my choice to do this degree and when the degree is over and I have secured my dream job it will all be worth it but I was starting to feel like I was living a parallel life to my family. They were times when it would get me down that I wasn't being as present in my life as I wanted to, I was desperate to be able to sit down and watch My Little Pony with them but I just wanted to get my work complete so that I could have 2 weeks off. It was a push but I'm proud that I managed it and we had a fantastic Christmas together.
I feel so well supported by my tutors and friends
Semester 2 starts for me with my first placement. I won't lie I am extremely nervous about it as I have been placed in an acute mental health ward, its something that I have no experience of and the thought of the unknown is scary and worrying to me. However, I feel so well supported by my tutors and friends and we had an amazing lecture this week where 2 service users with Schizophrenia came in to talk to us, they were really inspiring and I'm now feeling really up for the challenge. I've been doing some reading on various mental health disorders in preparation for the placement so bring it on!
I already have a feeling that there will be lots to learn over the next 4 weeks, some good and some bad experiences but its a really important part of the course.

Savannah Morning News
Mar 15, 2009
The little i-don't-know-what in the bottom corner says, "Courtesy of Jon Stewart, in a Russert-worthy performance." Tim Russert had performances like that? When? A huge problem with the media is that Jon Stewart, host of a fake news show, has to perform tasks that Russert and others were and are supposed to do.
Friday the web was buzzing about Stewart's take-down of Cramer. Every liberal blog posted the video with their two cents thrown in, which illustrated that vast array of original content they all provide. The reason the interview was such a great sensation is that things like that almost never happen. If this type of thing were going on every Sunday on Meet The Press and the other political talk shows, it would hardly be news. In fact, it probably wouldn't have happened because Stewart, as he said at the end of the interview, would like to get back poop jokes.
Another point on the comic: "Cramer vs. Cramer" was used by Stewart last week so it's probably not wise to put it in your cartoon. This cartoon released Friday simply illustrates a joke Stewart told in the interview. If cartoonists are going to idolize Stewart and steal his jokes, then he deserves the accolades and we deserve to die.
Unfortunately, I'll be late to the party since my Cramer comic comes out Wednesday, which is a full week after I drew it. Only having comics released two days a week can mess you up when you want to address a fresh topic. However, I did make it without the aid of Comedy Central writers.

My schedule this semester doesn't feel so hectic.
Monday the boys get out at 1:30, Dom has the day off but has class at 5 pm, Joe has soccer at 7pm. We eat dinner at 8:30. Check.
Tuesday. boys go to school till 2 ish, I have class from 10 till 1:30 evenings are spent doing homework. Check
Wednesday Dom works, boys at school, I have a free day or I study. Dom has class at 5, Joe has soccer practice at 7.
Thursdays same as Tuesdays.
Friday's I work in Joe's class. We veg and watch tv and eat pizza on Friday nights.
Now if you put back to school night on a Wednesday I am toast. If you add a sick kid I am done. But we juggle well and we get through each week and ho hum so it goes.
I have taken the online test multiple times, I have a test in T-minus 45 minutes, we will see how this goes. I pray I just pass it. Lord help me pass the darn thing.
Oh and go read Mindy's blog today it's a wonderful post about health care and it's a perspective missed by most I think.

Forget fancy diets and trips to the gym. A brisk one-hour walk will get rid of nearly 500 calories and help keep your weight down.
Walking: the ideal exercise
That's the message from a specially commissioned study released today by the Ramblers' Association. The research found that a 60-minute walk, typically spanning 4.4 miles (7km) would burn off the equivalent energy of roughly one Big Mac or 2½ pints of beer.
And the good news is that there was no apparent increase in hunger pangs after walking, so the subjects did not eat more.
The results of the study were released to coincide with Get Walking Day, led by the RA's new president, TV presenter Floella Benjamin. Ms Benjamin, a keen walker and marathon runner, said: "Walking is a great tonic; it keeps me fit in mind and body and really puts me in a positive mood. The more you do, the better you'll feel, even walking for half an hour five times a week makes a real difference."
The main findings of the report, snappily titled: The effects of a one-hour brisk walk on appetite and energy intake, were that walking for an hour uses about 480 kcal on average, and that subjects in the study did not increase their food intake in the hours following the walking.
The RA said this demonstrates the health benefits of walking. Ramblers Scotland's promoting walking officer Kathryn Wortley said: "The recommended 30 minutes of walking per day can even be built up in bouts of 10 or 15 minutes throughout the day, so even on the busiest of days, everyone can enjoy the health benefits of walking".
Walking also relieves stress, aids restful sleep, strengthens muscles and joints, aids better breathing, improves bone density and promotes better balance and posture, the association said. It also points out that the activity is free and accessible to everyone – the perfect form of exercise.
The RA has produced a downloadable leaflet to coincide with Get Walking Day.

Quickies 2-19-2013
Steel Against the Sky ~ A classic Warner Bros. two-reeler from 1941, this has stock characters and a predictable end, but all in all is great fun. Two brothers, Lloyd Nolan and Craig Stevens, high rise construction workers, compete for the same girl, sexy dame Alexis Smith. Thrills abound in the climax high above a bridge construction in a raging ice storm. Classic forties Hollywood melodrama at its best – snappy banter, comedy, romance, and adventure. And watch out for the young Jackie Gleason. Worth watching.
Spaceship Yamato ~ This 2010 live action version of the animated TV series "Star Blazers" is everything you would expect it to be. I liken it to seeing my comic book heroes, the Avengers, on the big screen. It's something I never thought I would see in a million years, and yet here it is. Fabulous special effects bring the animation to life. So worth seeing, even if you just look at it with no subtitles on YouTube. Absolutely must see for any "Star Blazers" fans.
21 Jump Street ~ I really only watched the first season of this show when it was originally on, so I'm not a fan by any real stretch, but I do hate the idea of remaking old TV series into comedy movies, especially when the source material was not a comedy. I can forgive "Bewitched," but this one doesn't quite fit. About the only thing I liked about this was the Johnny Depp reveal at the end. The rest of this mess is really like Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum just got stoned and improv-ed what they thought "21 Jump Street" might be about. Hill is so not funny here, and I equally don't get what all the fuss over Tatum is. Avoid this like a salad bar without a sneeze guard.
The Cabin in the Woods ~ Joss Whedon strikes again. There's really not much I can say about this one, other than it is always more than you expect, and always goes one better. Unpredictability at its best, a modern horror classic. If I told you anything else, I'd spoil it. You're on your own.
Double or Nothing ~ This great one-reeler from 1936 stars Phil Harris as a stunt double in Hollywood who while under gas dreams he goes to 'Doubles Heaven,' home to lookalikes of the stars. An amusing musical romp, and lots of fun for fans of classic Hollywood, starring many doubles of the day.
The Avengers
Marvel's The Avengers ~ I think I need to inform folks where I'm coming from on this one. One could say I've been waiting for this movie for over forty years easily. I learned to read on comic books, thanks to my cool big sister. First there was Batman, obviously influenced by the 1960s TV show, then I started reading my brother's Flash and Justice League. I was solidly a DC Comics guy as you can see, and then I discovered the Avengers. It would be quite some time before I became a regular Marvel reader but I knew instantly this was a different kind of comic. Avengers became one of my favorite comics, even today. So much so did I love the Avengers that for almost a decade I regularly reviewed the title online. Yeah, I'm a hardcore Avenger-phile. This movie is a little kid's dream come true.
In another sense, you could say I've been waiting for this movie realistically, and hopefully, since the end credits of Iron Man. Can I express my elation the first time I saw those few seconds when Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury wanted to talk to Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man about the 'Avengers Initiative'? No, I can't. I am as speechless now as I was in 2008.
Who would have thought Marvel Comics/Marvel Studios could have pulled this off? Not only have they created a cinematic continuity, a movie universe as tight and intriguing as their comics universe, they also changed the way we watch movies. Does anyone (at least anyone who knows) not stay until the final credits any more. This is something that John Hughes used to do for a gag. It's something the James Bond films used to do to reveal the title of the next installment. Marvel has made it a genre-wide trick of the trade. You stay until the screen has no more light, period.
Speaking of James Bond, the other achievement Marvel has taken on is the building of a successful movie franchise – the Marvel Cinematic Universe, of which The Avengers is the seventh, or the sixth, depending on whether you count Ang Lee's Hulk or not. I think all of this would have been impossible without Iron Man, and especially Robert Downey Jr. Downey is the secret weapon, the gateway drug, if you will. Without Downey, I doubt that this film would be as mainstream as it is. It's not just comic book folks who are seeing this movie, it's everybody. Comics aren't just for nerds anymore, or at least comic book movies aren't. This weekend's box office, threatening to become the biggest opening ever, is proof of that.
Besides Downey as Iron Man, and Jackson as super spy Nick Fury, Chris Evans returns as the title role from Captain America The First Avenger, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, along with Oscar winner Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye from that same film, and Scarlet Johansson returns in her role as the Black Widow from Iron Man 2. Unfortunately, negotiations broke down with The Incredible Hulk's Ed Norton, so the role of Doctor Bruce Banner is more than adequately filled by Mark Ruffalo. As much as I like and liked Norton in the role, I like Ruffalo even more. This is a good thing.
Also returning from the previous Marvel Cinematic Universe flicks are Clark Gregg as Agent Coulson, Stellan Skarsgard as Erik Selvig from Thor, Gwenyth Paltrow as Pepper Potts and Paul Bettany as Jarvis in the Iron Man films, and of course the big bad, Thor's brother Loki, as played by Tom Hiddleston. Natalie Portman's Jane Foster from Thor is mentioned but unseen. Cobie Smoulders is the perfect Maria Hill and although uncredited and only doing one very funny and wonderful line of dialogue, Lou Ferrigno voices the completely CGI Hulk. It is a stellar cast, top notch all the way, and all of the primaries – the Avengers, Fury, Loki, and the rest shine like stars when on screen. All are skillfully performed.
If I had to find fault, if I absolutely had to find a flaw in the film (other than characters or storylines I would want to see) it would be the lack of character development. But even that's not a flaw. The four majors have had at least one movie each to explore that before we got to this point. We get sweet spotlights on the two Avengers without movies, Hawkeye and the Black Widow, displaying their talents and personalities, and Nick Fury will have his own film upcoming for us to delve more into his character. So really, on that point I can't complain. What is really great about this is all of them come to this film fully formed. Especially in the cases of Captain America and Thor, their movies were essentially origin stories, now, here in Avengers we get to see what they can really do. These are not flaws.
I will try not to give away plot points, or any of the Easter eggs found in the film, but I will give director and co-writer Joss Whedon and his co-writer Zak Penn all the props possible for creating what is, without a doubt, the best superhero movie ever made, period. Let's see Whedon have a Wonder Woman script or a "Firefly" sequel turned down in Hollywood now. The man, to borrow the line from Titanic, is the king of the world today. Everything was perfect, from the characters to the dialogue, the special effects, the humor, right down to the two (count 'em, two) after-credits scenes, one of which will be having fanboys and girls squeeing with delight. Marvel's The Avengers is awesome.
The little kid in me who was mesmerized by his first Avengers comic book more than forty years ago was spellbound in the theatre. From Project Pegasus to the Black Forest to the SHIELD Helicarrier to downtown Manhattan, the Avengers were truly Earth's Mightiest Heroes on the big screen. The first confrontations between the heroes, and the heroes and the villains, are well done and believable, not just slugfest for the fun of slugfest. When Captain America confronts Loki in Germany, I had a lump in my throat, I was like, "It's the real Captain America." The scene is that good.
The special effects are stunning. I love the way Thor's hammer always returns to him, and his effects are perfect. Cap's superhero costume, which I initially thought would look silly works wonderfully. If there's anything cooler than the SHIELD Helicarrier, it's the battle on board the SHIELD Helicarrier. Non-believers will see why Hawkeye is one of the coolest Avengers. The interaction between the characters is priceless, and in the final battle, their teamwork whether all together or in smaller teams is right out of the comics. It's beautiful.
I will probably see Marvel's The Avengers again a few more times in the theatre before it comes to Blu-Ray and DVD. Yeah, it's that good. The 3D effects are good, but let's keep in mind it still looks amazing in 2D, so you don't have to sell blood to see it. Highly recommended. A definite must see for comics and non-comics fans alike. This is the movie of 2012.

Marvel Comics' follow-up to the highly acclaimed Spider-Woman Motion Comic by Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev is actually a bit of a surprise. Rather than another work created specifically for the format, they have gone old school (or as old school as one can go in the new realm of this technology) and chosen a story already presented in comic book form – "Gifted" the controversial first storyline from Josh Whedon and John Cassady's Astonishing X-Men.
One might think this is a backward step in motion comic production until one actually sees it. This is moving forward into new territory. With the help of Neal Adams' Continuity Studios, who also directed "Gifted" along with original artist John Cassaday, Marvel is bringing a whole new dimension to the artform.
Originally motion comics of the twenty-first century were nothing more than moving some elements across a static background to imitate movement, similar (sadly) to the infamous "Marvel Super Heroes" cartoons from 1966. Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D., a few months back was the first to be designed specifically for the motion comic format and utilized a style that brought the story and action to life.
Now, Neal Adams, who pioneered the realistic artstyle in comics of the late 1960s and early 1970s, takes things even farther into the future with Astonishing X-Men. These characters breathe. They speak as if animated, blink, move, etc. This is the next wave. It has to be seen to be believed. Marvel is riding the wave of the motion comic to the next frontier. I can't wait to see what they do next.
Dollhouse – Epitaph One
Here's a sneak peek at the unaired episode "Epitaph One" guest-starring Felicia Day from Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse." It will be available on the Season One DVD that drops on July 28th.
Dollhouse Saved
After a couple tense weeks, the news is out that Joss Whedon's "Dollhouse" has been renewed for a second season on Fox.
Now there are folks who live and die by the word of Whedon, while a fan, I'm not one of them. I will be the first to say that "Dollhouse" is not one of his best productions. It's no "Firefly," (another Fox show by Whedon that was killed by the Friday night scifi death slot) and it certainly isn't "Buffy," but it did have its moments. Unfortunately those moments were few and far between. And I'm not just talking about Eliza Dushku.
We've seen twelve episodes so far, excluding the unaired pilot and the episode featuring Dr. Horrible star Felicia Day, and not many of them could keep my attention. I liked the one that riffed on "The Most Dangerous Game" and the ones that concerned Alpha, but that's about it.
And I think the problem is that all the episodes should have been about Alpha and the workings of the Dollhouse specifically. I found the episodes about the actives' missions to be boring standard TV fare but I was spellbound by the Alpha subplot, and the episodes that focused on that. Give us the good stuff, Joss, not the fluff we can get anywhere. Congrats and here's to better second season.
Joss Whedon's new television series, "Dollhouse," starring Eliza Dushku, premieres February 13th on Fox.
Dr. Horrible on DVD
Now finally on DVD, you can watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog anytime on your TV. For those of you living under a rock for the last year or so, Dr. Horrible is quite possibly the best entertainment to come out in and around 2008. While not exactly a movie or a TV show, it's a new form of entertainment that is – up until the DVD release – was dependent on the internet.
Available in iTunes, this metahuman drama/musical/online vlog tells the tale of Billy aka Dr. Horrible, a wannabe mad scientist/super-villain out to join the Evil League of Evil, and get the attention of Penny, a girl at the Laundromat he crushing badly on.
Former Dougie Howser and current star of "How I Met Your Mother," Neil Patrick Harris brilliantly fills the title role, with Felicia Day as Penny, and Nathan Fillion of "Firefly" as Horrible's arch-nemesis superhero Captain Hammer. Speaking of "Firefly," the whole shebang is the brainchild of Joss Whedon. If you liked his work with that short-lived series or his "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," you'll love this. I think this is the best thing Whedon has ever done, and that's saying a lot.
See it here, with, as they say, 'limited commercial interruption.' See it, buy the DVD, live the blog – you'll love it.

For over fifteen years Sterling Rope has been designing and manufacturing rope and cord for climbing. Sterling ropes are made to perform extraordinarily well in all conditions due to their unique DryCore and Better Braid Technology. These processes give you incredibly durable ropes that are smaller in diameter, lighter, and easier to handle, as well as dry cores, designed to keep moisture out and performance up.
So what is DryCore? DryCore is Sterling's unique way of treating the core yarns so as to reduce yarn-on-yarn abrasion and moisture absorption. This provides the strength of your rope. If your rope gets wet, it loses critical strength and elongation will increase, a wet rope can lose up to 30% of its
strength. Ropes constructed with DryCore had less increase in elongation than standard ropes and maintained their strength characteristics while ropes without DryCore did not.
The Evolution series are Sterling's original dynamic ropes. These ropes are constructed with the perfect balance of sheath to core, which results in the ideal weight?to?diameter ratio. In conventional ropes, it is usually only the sheath fibres that are dry-treated.
The Evolution series consist of Kosmos, Velocity and Duetto models. These ropes also have DryCore standard on all its cores and are suitable for all types of climbing. These ropes come in a generous range of styles and colours and with such performance claims, a versatile range and a sterling
reputation it's no wonder climbers like Chris Sharma use them.

July 23rd 1983 Kathy and I got married. We'd known each other for four years prior to the big day. Kathy and I are not the kind of people who talk about our relationship publicly because everything else in our life is pretty public. We don't like to use this medium to brag or make life sound better than it is. Marriage is difficult and we've had hard times but there is no one I would rather spend the rest of my life with and that is not corny or mushy it is simply the truth. I'm fortunate because she likes to do the things I do and vice-versa.
We are a pair, we are a team and we hang together even when it's hard.
When Kathy and I moved away from our families to Coos Bay we picked this record up at a record store in Coos Bay. This was our song.
I can't leave the video up for very long because Youtube doesn't like you to use music with a copy write so watch this in the next day or so or you will not see it.

Halep beats Kasatkina to reach China Open semifinals
By SANDRA HARWITT
(AP) -- Second-seeded Simona Halep moved into the China Open semifinals and kept alive her chance of reaching the No. 1 ranking with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Daria Kasatkina on Friday.
Halep needs to reach to the final in Beijing, and not lose to third-seeded Elena Svitolina, to bump No. 1 Garbine Muguruza from the top spot.
Halep has never held the No. 1 ranking but has had a few missed opportunities, most notably when she lost in the French Open final to Jelena Ostapenko in June.
Her run in Beijing so far has also included a 6-2, 6-2 win over Maria Sharapova, which ended a seven-match losing streak to Russian, including a first-round upset at the U.S. Open last month.
Halep's quarterfinal victory over 34th-ranked Kasatkina avenged a straight-sets loss in their last outing at Wuhan last week.
In the semifinals, she'll play either ninth-seeded Ostapenko or Sorana Cirstea.

This year they are giving out around 250,000 tickets to shows across the country. In the south our choices are a little limited but if you are traveling any this could be a fun night out for little if any cost!
Many theaters are doing tickets differently this year, rather than first come first serve you can enter to win tickets and they will notify the winners. It appears though in most areas you won't have any problems getting tickets to shows.
If you got tickets last year I would love to know what you thought!

National Grilled Cheese Day!Posted: April 12, 2013 Filed under: Food / Drink Leave a comment
The latest issue of Culture (yes, I read cheese magazines) tells me that today is National Grilled Cheese Sandwich Day. I personally celebrate grilled cheeses much more frequently than one day a year, but who am I to question national acknowledgement of the greatest sandwich on Earth?
In honor of the day, I polled the Twitter about favorite sandwich breads and accoutrements. About 20 people responded (I expected more! It's GRILLED CHEESE, people) and I've summarized the results in these handy pie charts.
Chart 1: Bread Preference
Sourdough (29%) and white (24%) are the clear leaders here, one clever respondent suggesting a rosemary garlic sourdough – I am trying that next week, for sure.
Chart 2: Cheeeeeeeeeeese
Cheddar and American cheese together are the clear winners here, though I had a number of single-mention suggestions (full disclosure – the tarentaise was my own vote, because it may be my most favorite cheese in the world ever).
Chart 3: Accoutrements
A gross 23% of you like tomato inside your grilled cheese sandwiches. Tomatoes are for making into ketchup for dipping, in my opinion. I am, however, on board with the many who like apple and bacon in their sandwiches. Pickles, onions, and several other singly-mentioned condiments really surprised me. Relish and mustard with cheddar on white? I'll try it, Jim!
I hope you honor the cheese gods and enjoy at least one delicious sandwich today. Tonight, I'll be making myself an American (hand-made!), tarentaise, bacon, and green apple on white.
Happy grilling!

In this podcast with Audra Starkey aka The Healthy Shift Worker I talk about how chronic pain is essentially an oversensitive nervous system response. I also discuss how sleep and pain are bio-directional, meaning pain can disturb our sleep and vice versa, along with the correlation between lower back and low vitamin D levels. Thanks to Audra for having me on The Healthy Shift Worker – it was heaps of fun.

Peterborough Public Health (PPH) is advising the public that mosquitoes in the City of Peterborough have tested positive for West Nile virus (WNV). The mosquitoes were trapped from July 17 to 19, 2017.
This is the first positive mosquito pool found in Peterborough this year. During the summer months and early fall, PPH sets five traps weekly; three traps are in fixed locations and two others rotate throughout the Peterborough City and County.
"Now that we've identified mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus in our area, it's especially important that residents take care to prevent mosquito bites," said Wanda Tonus, Public Health Inspector. "This is a good reminder for residents to eliminate any standing water in their yards and to take personal protective measures to avoid mosquito bites."
Ms. Tonus noted that the majority of WNV cases do not show symptoms. About 20% of infected people will experience mild illness with such symptoms as fever, headache, and body aches, occasionally with a skin rash and swollen lymph nodes that last several days. Other symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, or eye pain. Symptoms usually develop 2 to 14 days after receiving a bite from an infected mosquito. Less than 1% of infected people will develop neurological symptoms.
Although the risk of becoming infected is low, prevention against bites is the best protection. Individuals can protect themselves from bites in several ways. The first defense is to cover up when going outside between dusk and dawn. Wear light coloured clothing, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket and long pants tucked into your socks. Once a week, remove all standing water around your home, including birdbaths, wheelbarrows and eavestroughs, as this is where mosquitoes lay their eggs. Keep bushes and shrubs clear of overgrowth and debris as adult mosquitoes like to rest in dense shrubbery. Use insect repellent containing DEET but read the label carefully and apply as directed as this ingredient is a powerful chemical.
For additional information on protection measures against West Nile virus such as reducing mosquito breeding sites and the safe use of insect repellents, please visit www.peterboroughpublichealth.ca. KG

Spatial-Temporal Interpolation of Survey Point Data: Toolset Development for Multiple Applications using Python 2.7 and ArcGIS 10.4
Casey Judge, GIS Certificate Candidate, Department of Ecology, Evolution, and Organismal Biology
Advisor: Dr. William Crumpton
Spatial survey point data is widely collected for numerous applications (i.e. vegetation, population density, etc). Often, this point data is then interpolated to visualize the spatial distribution of the survey data. However, spatial data can be difficult and costly to gather and is often only collected intermittently. To model changes in the data over time between collection dates, a spatial-temporal interpolation is required. Temporal interpolation is not built in to ArcGIS processing tools, but can be conducted with VBA code by first exporting raster grid cell data to Microsoft Excel. However, this technique is cumbersome and time consuming. The objective of this project is to develop a script set with Python 2.7 to create an ArcGIS toolbox for conducting coupled spatial and temporal interpolations which can be used for a wide array of applications. The contained toolset will provide spatial interpolation using optimized kriging methods with the correct output format required for the temporal interpolation. Subsequent temporal interpolation will allow user specified linear or spline methods to model growth and/or decay between survey dates. An example of the toolset's utility will be shown using submersed vegetation survey data from three Iowa wetlands collected approximately bi-weekly during the 2016 growing season.

Sunday was a big meal prep day. Every day when I get home from the gym, I'm so grateful I put in the time to 'grill' up some chicken with my ol buddy George Foreman, cook a pound of bacon, cut up broccoli, hard boil a dozen eggs, etc. I walk through the door, throw everything in a bowl, toss with dressing and dinner is served. #blessed
I've been struggling to get out of bed early enough to make breakfast before I leave for work so I've been relying on RXBars to get me through breakfast. I love the chocolate sea salt flavor.
For whatever reason I've had a strong hankering for meatballs lately so I made a batch of turkey meatballs with almond flour vs. bread crumbs then tossed them in some Frank's Red Hot after they were cooked.
I paired the buffalo turkey balls with garlic quinoa that was just quinoa cooked with ghee, chicken broth, garlic powder and fresh sauteed garlic.
As described above, my dinners were massive salads. I love a good cobb salad so I make my own version. All the ingredients you can cook and chop ahead of time then throw in a bowl and bing-bang-boom dinner is served and you didn't even have to turn on the oven or dirty a pan.
My gym is adding in some earlier classes at 4:15 which I love since I tend to work through my lunch hour. You know, the one hour in the day that you leave your desk and all hell breaks loose so you decide you better stay put. Yeah...so, 4:15 classes are awesome because the next class time is 5:30 and sometimes that just feels sooo late.
I took a 4:15 warrior sculpt which I enjoyed because there were only four of us in the class and it's condensed down to 45 min.
Some girlfriends and I had a 'sweaty beers' night where we hit up an A20 alchemy class that still has my core and shoulders burning followed by drinks and dinner at Jefe's around the corner.
Since the class was at 5:30 I decided to take advantage of the beautiful weather and walk to the studio.
Walking along the Mississippi River and looking back at Gold Medal Park, and the Mill City Museum will never get old.
I had two 30 minute personal training sessions remaining with my trainer so we found an hour we were both free to wipe those out and talk about goals, etc.
He worked my abs for 45 minutes straight, which I love/hate since I don't do it often on my own, but I love the hurt the next day. Since I didn't get much in for cardio, I walked home through the Kenwood neighborhood that is super hilly and has the most beautiful mansions you've ever seen with some of the best views of the other side of the city.
Ugh! Isn't this city just beautiful!

When and where does opioid abuse start? A new study has found that most American teenagers can trace their addiction back to the first time they were prescribed opioids by their doctor. The study found a that a majority of teens who abuse prescription drugs such as OxyContin and Vicodin had been prescribed the pills at some point in their past. The now-proven link between those who have been prescribed these medications for pain in the past and the higher chance they have of abusing them later in life can help doctors keep a watchful eye on patients and educate them and their guardians on the risks and statistics of abuse. Infinite Recovery explores this progression in opioid addiction in this week's blog, The Evolution of the American Opioid Epidemic.
"In 2012 there were 259 million prescriptions written for opioids, which is enough to provide every American adult with a bottle of opioid pills," the American Society of Addiction Medicine says. The argument here is not to say that physicians should stop prescribing opioids all together, but rather make sure that the process of giving these teens prescription drugs is well monitored, that everyone is fully educated on the dangers of opioid addiction, and that a proper balance is found between treating these patients who are often in serious pain and reducing the possible damage that can come from abusing these drugs.
This is in stark contrast to the old perception of opioid abuse in America. In the 1900's, opioids and even heroin were thought to have a high potential for benefit and low potential for dependency. The United States witnessed the first wave of the opioid epidemic and regulated opioids in the 1914 Harrison Narcotics Act in hopes of stopping this addictive crisis. Fast forward to the Vietnam War, and our country experienced a second wave with soldiers bringing body bags full of heroin onto American soil. Soon after in the 1970's, the "wonder drugs" Vicodin and Percocet were introduced into the U.S. prescription market and widespread availability swept the nation. Ever since then, Americans have consistently been introduced to opioids in the form of prescriptions, and more often than not users graduated to the cheaper, more potent, deadlier high of heroin.
Sean McCabe, a research professor at the University of Michigan, who authored this study of the link between prescribed use of opioids and the later chance of nonprescribed opioid use, has come up with some excellent ideas to possibly combat the risk of future abuse. He suggests that doctors should be sure to limit the number of refills they offer to clients, to prescribe the lowest effective dose of the medication, and supplement that with milder pain medication, such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, and that parents be sure to properly discard any leftover pills.
When taken at the prescribed amount and during the correct length of time, opioid pain killers can be incredibly helpful for those suffering immense pain. This is not to discount their helpfulness for those who truly need them, but rather to inform others of the risks that can come with using too much for too long, especially in a person's developmental years. Parents should openly talk to their children and inform them of the dangers of prescription opioid abuse, and set clear boundaries and expectations for their children. The drug talk can be seen as uncomfortable or awkward, but it is an important first step in battling drug addiction and trying to put a halt to this awful opioid epidemic.
If you or a loved one is struggling with opioid addiction or heroin addiction, get help now. We offer a confidential hotline at (844) 206-9063 and our admissions team is available 24/7 online.

Lying naked on his bed, Chris Larabee stared long and hard at the ceiling. It was a non-threatening ceiling, but he had the urge to shoot holes in it anyway.
Stay out of this, cowboy. This ain't your fight. Lucas James' words swam painfully through his whiskey-soaked brain, leaving a burning brand in their wake. Cowboy, cowboy, cowboy... Vin had called him a cowboy too, but Vin was one of the good guys-- James was not. Chris resolved to shoot Lucas, just as soon as he woke up tomorrow.
Sleep overcame the weary gunman--or perhaps he passed out—but either way, the dream was unleashed.Chris'd been trailing the herd for an eternity, or so it seemed. Whatever color his clothes had been at the start, they were dust colored now. He didn't think they'd been black--not in this hellish dream.The stink of cattle lodged itself high up in his nostrils, becoming permanently imbedded, and marking him for what he was--a cowboy. His legs were bowed, his smile ready, and he chewed tobacco as if the dream depended on it.Chris urged his cowpony toward a lagging steer. "Get along, little doggie.'Somewhere in his mind, a scream could be heard. Somewhere outside his mind, too.
Vin Tanner heard his new friend's cry and sped from his room to stand at Chris' door, only to find Buck blocking the way.
"Trust me, Vin. Chris is OK." Buck eyed Vin with amusement, the tracker had an aversion to clothes at times. Times like now. Only Vin's obvious concern for Chris kept Buck from bringing up his nudity.
"It sounds like..."
"I know what it sounds like, but he'll be all right. Ya see, he's got this little problem with the C word." Buck seemed to think that this was sufficient explanation. Vin was unsure.Six eternities and a lifetime later, the herd was stopped for the night. Outside of the dreamscape, Chris' sweat-soaked, naked body writhed in horror at what would soon transpire. A whimper escaped his lips. "No. Please, no!"The Dream Chris had tended his horse and spread his bedroll. The smells from the chuck wagon made his stomach growl as he stood in line to get his grub. Cookie had made a stew, and Chris ate with relish, washing it down with coffee. Offered a turn at the whiskey bottle, he turned it down.Still caught in the tow of his dream, Chris fumbled for his Colt. He had taken to hiding his guns out of reach whenever he was called a cowboy. Attempts on his life were routine with this dream--his own attempts, that is. Lacking a bullet to end his misery, the dreaming man writhed on.
"The C word? Which C word we talkin' 'bout here?"
Buck Wilmington stared with mock exasperation. "The C word--C as in cowboy."
"Ya mean he really does hate bein' called that?" Vin thought he could hear sobs from beyond the door.
"Yes sir. Triggers his nightmare." Buck opened his hand, showing Vin the former contents of Chris' revolver. "He hides his gun away, but I wanted to make sure. He always tries to shoot himself. Hell," Buck grinned, "the first time he had the dream, he shot me!" He chuckled. "Chris is a lousy shot when he's asleep..."
Vin stared at Buck's hand in horrified disbelief. "SIX?"
""Yeah, well...even sober and awake, Chris has suicidal tendencies." Buck grimaced. It wasn't so bad that Chris loaded six rounds into his Colt, but now J.D. was following his potentially fatal example. It was a mad world.Dinner had finished, the jokes had been told, and now the dream entered its final, excruciatingly painful, nearly fatal, phase."Hey Larabee--whatcha waitin' on?" The Trail Boss irritably inquired."Sure thing, boss-man." Dream Chris wore a wide grin as he fetched his guitar from a wagon and broke into song--Red River Valley.Finally able to break loose of his nightmare, Chris Larabee bolted upright in his bed and screamed. Loud.
Outside in the hall, Buck and Vin exchanged knowing looks. In Vin's case, the knowledge was a tad fresh, but it didn't affect the quality of the look.
"Damn. Glad that's over." Vin turned to go back to bed, just now realizing his state of undress. Buck, at least, wore longjohns.
"Not yet." Buck cocked his head to one side, listening.
The two men heard crashing sounds, a stream of profanity, and a sudden ominous silence. With a hinge-threatening violence, the door flew open. Red-eyed and miserable, Chris stared at his friends. "Saloon." He strode past them, fastening the last undone button of his shirt.
Buck grinned. "Now it's over. Free drinks! Chris always buys afterward..."
Affecting a disgusted look, Vin mulled over the situation. "Hell," he grinned, "sounds all right to me. Just got to get some clothes on first."
Buck watched as his new friend turned away, and listened as his old friend's spurs jangled their way out of the boarding house. Life was good, he reflected. Chris was still alive. J.D. hadn't shot himself, yet. The bathhouse hadn't raised rates. Blossom's husband's timing was still just a tad off... What more could a man ask for?
Joined by a newly clad Vin and, after a gentle reminder, donning his own outer garments, Buck made his way out of the boarding house and on into the saloon. Swinging the doors wide with a brilliant grin, Buck heard a drunken cowhand challenging Chris at the bar.
"You got a problem, cowboy?"

A thorough car wash can easily yield outstanding results without the expense of brining your car to be washed at a car wash or detailing service even if you do this task at home.
In addition to saving some money, washing your car by hand is sometimes considered a therapeutic activity and can put your mind at ease rather than taking your vehicle to a costly car wash.
Washing your automobile regularly is important in preventing its exterior from damaging. Many drivers tend to wait until a thick layer of dirt and grime builds up on the exterior of a car before washing it. Usually, the build-up contains chemicals that will eat away at a car's wax and paint.
You should use a soap that is especially designed for cars. Many car owners often make the mistake of using household cleaning agents like dishwasher detergent and hand soap that has strong formula that can damage a car's paint job, unlike car soaps.
Unlike what many people believe, car washing is not as simple as taking a bucket of soapy water and wiping your car down. There are some tricks and techniques that you need to follow in order to do a successful car washing:

'Peter Saul: Fake News'
Peter Saul's most recent paintings, writes J. Hoberman in the NYR Daily, show him to be "something of an American Scene painter. (Some of his 1960s paintings mock Thomas Hart Benton.) Accordingly, Saul easily integrates Trump into his world—could the reverse ever be possible? "Fake News" includes two of the Old and New Master parodies that Saul has been painting since he travestied Guernica and De Kooning in the early 1970s. Rembrandt's The Night Watch is reimagined with ducks; the subject of the mock-Gainsborough Blue Boy with Ice Cream Cone is greedily fixated on an outsized swirl of orange glop that has an unmistakable resemblance to the Trump pompadour."

I have to be honest; I have enjoyed doing this new weekly article and accompanying video all season at Sportsbookreview.com. Beating the sportsbooks is always great, especially with NFL picks.
I hope you have been able to utilize some of these for your NFL picks versus the NFL odds as I am proud to say I am 28-18-2 this season. I'll try and not be like an NFL offensive coordinator and get too cute and stick with the winning formula of two false favorites and one top underdog against the betting odds.
Baltimore a Disappointment This Season
The Ravens could still make the playoffs with a victory and a San Diego loss, but they have suffered a number of disheartening defeats and become very untrustworthy to bettors and NFL football handicappers alike.
Last week's loss at Houston is unforgivable, as Joe Flacco had arguably his worst professional game ever, being outplayed Case Keenum, who was on the practice squad the week prior.
Cleveland has seen their own woes, scoring only 11.7 points a contest the last month, but going up against Baltimore's 27th ranked pass defense might help QB Brian Hoyer's recovery process.
The Ravens being a nine-point home favorite is justified, nonetheless, this team in my opinion cannot be trusted and is a false favorite versus the Browns, who always take this rivalry seriously.
NFL False Favorite – Baltimore
Dallas' Lack of Motivation Make for Close Encounter
It has been a nice change of pace to see the Cowboys actually play excellent football in December. However, I cannot wrap my mind around why Dallas is a burgeoning favorite at Washington.
I'm fine with Jerry Jones saying he doesn't like teams coasting in Week 17 because it could break momentum. (Of course Jerry is doing this from memory since the Cowboys last made the playoffs in 2009)
Nevertheless, Dallas will be the third seed in the NFC unless Detroit and Green Bay finish in a tie and it difficult to imagine the Cowboys go all out even off their earlier loss to Washington.
With the Cowboys having almost nothing to gain and the Redskins a hearty 8-1 ATS against the 'Boys since 2010, I'll make Dallas a false favorite.
NFL False Favorite – Dallas
Detroit Keeps this Closer Than the Experts Think
Decided to borrow a line from Lee Corso and apply it to the Detroit Lions. Maybe I'll be proven wrong but I was quite surprised to see Detroit as a 7.5- point road underdog at Green Bay.
I totally understand Aaron Rodgers and the gang average over 41 points per game at the frozen tundra this season, but the Lions are second in total defense and fewest points allowed at 16.8 per contest.
Despite averaging 422 yards a game in their last trio of outings, the Packers have managed to score only 25.3, which is more than five below their normal average.
As I mentioned in the Value Picks article and video, the Lions do have offensive shortcomings, but this genuinely appears to be too many points, with Detroit making this a three-four point outcome.

People were able to buy a range of goods at an Easter farmers' market.
Bread, pastries, olives, meat and plants were among the items on offer in Higham Ferrers on Saturday.
The event also included an Easter egg hunt for youngsters while their parents perused the market stalls.
A spokesman for Higham Ferrers Town Council said they had good crowds at the weekend and added: "It was a great morning's market."
The town holds a farmers' market in the Market Square between 9am and 1pm on the last Saturday of each month except in December when it is moved to the last available Saturday before Christmas.
Anyone interested in having a stall at the market can send an email to email@example.com.

Balloons. Helium-filled, pretty in pink balloons. All kids love them, right? Wrong. Yesterday's shoot with baby "D" proved that fact when she wanted absolutley nothing to do with them. And of course I didn't want to waste this photo-op , so I dragged my Little Nevaeh down the street to a fabulous little field complete with rickety fences and old barns. Nevaeh LOVES balloons....I've never had to even tie one onto her wrist because she has a death grip on them and won't let go for ANYTHING! Needless to say, I thought it would be cute to let one go and have her chase it through the field....this definately didn't go over well, and it took me a good ten minutes to get her calmed down (with the promise of Daddy bringing home a new yellow one later that night)!
And although I had to shoot at high noon, AND when I returned home my Dad told me a package had been sitting here all morning for me ( my fancy new lens)! I am more than happy with these new images of her....I truly cannot wait for the spring to arrive so I can shoot outdoors to my hearts content!
Hope the weather is getting sunnier for you as well!

Inspiron 1720
So I have this issue with my keyboard but didnt get a chance to order it yet. Before I got a chance to order the new keyboard I came accross another issue and was wondering if they were possibly tied together or not. I was watching a review video online and I turn the volume up with the volume up button on the front of the laptop and it pauses the video. I double checked which button I pushed and it was indeed the volume up button. The strange thing is, the first time I push it the volume goes up slightly and then it acts like the pause/play button until another button has been pressed. Then, it repeats the slight increase and goes back to the pause/play button. This threw me off because if you read my post about the keyboard it too is having similar issues.
Please help if anyone has any ideas. I would like to order the keyboard but I dont want to pay the money for it if it is something else. Thank you.
My guess would be that it is working as designed. Check the manual to verify.
So you think the volume up button should pause/play videos instead of turning the volume up? Dont you think the Pause/Play button should be the only button that performs this function?
I think that with laptops many of the buttons and keys have multiple functions. Read the manual to find out if there is a one key option to pause/mute.
What is the history of the laptop? Did you buy it new?
I have been using it for 2 years now. I have never experienced the volume up button on the front pausing videos instead of turning the volume up until now. I have also not experienced what the keyboard is doing and for all this to start happening out of no where, frustrating. The notebook is kept propt to maximize air flow, free of dust, kept clean and has never seen moisture.
Did you read the manual? Before assuming something is broken you must first determine that it isn't working as intended. Many keys on laptops serve multiple purposes.
I am not sure that is the case here but to properly troubleshoot you need to verify the behavior is not intended.
You didn't get into the issue with your keyboard but I connected the two and thought it might be intended behavior.
I can see where the behavior you describe could be useful.
Usually, when something breaks it doesn't pick up new functions.
I have had the laptop for 2 years of course I have read the manual. I build my own desktops I am not a beginner here. I dont have as much experience actualy working on or trouble shooting laptop issues. If I have been using it for two years and over those two years the button functioned one way, I would assume that there is a problem when it no longer functions the way it was intended. There are "Function" commands on this laptop but none of them affect the front media buttons. Also, with the issues on the keyboard with keys producing incorrect letters or multiple letters/characters, I would assume that this issue may be related. This would lead me to believe that something more the just the keyboard is going on here.
You may well be correct. The information about the time you have used the laptop was not included initially. I can't assume you read the manual. You would be surprised by some of the posts here. Also have to assume you know little, unless you state, or your post indicates otherwise.
Did the issue with the volume control start at the same time as the keyboard issue, or aren't you sure?
Has the laptop been exposed to excessive moisture recently?
I would not assume the keyboard is defective or that it is the only defective component.
I suggest you post on the Dell forum. There are generally support people that field questions there. You could also try the FAQ at their site.
I am not sure if the issue with the front media buttons started at the same time as the keyboard issue but I am positive the buttons worked up until very recently possibly when the keyboard started having issues. I was not aware of it until after the issue with the keyboard but know they worked before the issue with the keyboard.
Also, the laptop has never seen an ounce of moisture except what may be in the air and I can say this without hesitation.
I guess I will head over to the Dell forums. My experience with companies like Dell is, if you know more then average about computers they dont want to work with you and if you dont know much they give you the run around.
thank you for your help.
One thing you may want to check is if any automatic driver updates were applied about the time the erratic behavior began.

What is it?
Spear-Phishing is a targeted attack on a corporation. It is basically a legitimate looking email, from a supposed internal source that requests some information specific to the corporation. This could be a link that downloads some form of targeted malware, or maybe just asking for their username and password, or maybe an account code, it could be anything.
How is Spear-Phishing different from regular Phishing?
In a regular phishing attack, a generic email is spammed to the world. A phishing email is looking for bank information, or maybe PayPal or eBay login credentials. It is basically looking for information for common sites that the general population uses.
A spear-phishing attack is different in that it is looking for information targeted to a specific company or individual.
How does a Spear-Phishing attack work?
For example let's say that your company has been targeted and the intent is to steal intellectual corporate data. The first step would be to use social engineering to get the names and contact information of the individuals that had access to the targeted data. Step two would be to send an email to those particular individuals and request their login credentials. Ideally the email would appear to come from someone in the company's internal IT department so the user wouldn't question the request, however the sender's address would be spoofed so that the requested information would be send to the thief instead. Now the thief has the necessary information to steal the intellectual property of the company.
How can I prevent being the victim of a Spear-Phishing attack?
Any email of any kind requesting the release of sensitive data, like usernames and passwords, regardless of source, should be questioned and verified. Information should never just be blindly released, the request must be verified first. Always consider the fact that any email you receive could be from someone else other than the portrayed sender. Never ever click on a link in an email, regardless of who it's from.
What do I do if I discover I've been the victim of a Spear-Phishing attack?
Report the incident immediately to the person responsible for your IT security. If you've clicked a link, unplug the network from your computer and get your IT professional to investigate. If you've released login credentials, change them immediately.
It's not just you that has been hit
The following was published by SANS:
–US Nuclear Regulatory Commission Computers Infiltrated
(August 18, 2014)
Computers at the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) were infiltrated several times in the past three years, according to the findings of an internal investigation. One attack was perpetrated through spear-phishing – an email message sent to just over 200 NRC employees attempted to get the recipients to provide their logon credentials. About a dozen employees clicked the provided link. A second spear phishing attack attempted to infect recipients' computers with malware. A third incident involved someone breaking into an employee's email account and sending malware to a handful of other employees. The NRC maintains information that adversaries would be interested in obtaining, including plant inventories of weapons-grade materials.

Having a bad day? This tip should cheer you up, because it's all about instant gratification. When you're down in the dumps, lace up your sneakers and go for a brisk walk. It's raining? Sweltering? Put on some music and dance madly like Andy Varejao of the Cleveland Cavaliers (women, this guy is more than just a great basketball player). You can expect a mood boost in a mere 15 minutes and happier thoughts if you keep it up for another 15. Then do it again tomorrow.
Why? Because if you're one of the 8 percent of North Americans living with low-level or even major depression, getting a move on can ease your blues -- even if you're already taking antidepressants or seeing a therapist. A new review of studies on emotional well-being and exercise concludes that when you're mentally down and out, physical activity may put your mind and emotions on the road to better days as well as any single drug.
Yet it's often a missing link. The researchers say not enough mental-health professionals "prescribe" activity. So it's a good DIY treatment. That said, check in with your family doc if you're depressed. Get a friend who's struggling to do the same. Many people benefit from a little sweat equity, but severe cases also require professional help.
It takes just minutes for movement to let you notice the good stuff -- the bright-blue spring sky, the zowie new paint job next door -- and contemplate future pleasures. That's a great return on a 30-minute daily investment.

IRRIGATION. Agriculture is the dominant economic activity in the Murray-Darling Basin. Further, the Basin is Australia's most important agricultural region, accounting for just over 41 per cent of the nation's gross value of agricultural production.

Irrigated crops and pastures x22 hectares.
In comparison with many other countries, Australia has long had a low rate of return on its investment in irrigation largely due to the fact that the bulk of the irrigation water used in the southern Basin supports mixed farming and low-value commodities.
This situation is complicated by the fact that a number of the commodities produced are also inefficient users of water .
For example, while fruit, vegetables and dairying are among the most efficient, rice and grazing are the most inefficient, with cotton in between .
