Against our better judgment, we often tend to ridicule or mock people who get teary-eyed or flat out cry during movies, mistakenly seeing them as emotionally weak.
In fact, probably no one equates crying during movies (or overall, for that matter) with mental toughness, but if we set these stereotypes aside for a moment, we'd realize that people who cry during movies are more empathetic and can easily identify with other peoples' misfortunes and afflictions.
Crying during movies means you are an empath
Unlike most, empathetic people can easily relate their feelings to others' based on what they know or feel about the situation the person(s) or thing(s) they empathize with experience.
Crying during movies just means you can identify with the emotions of another person/thing. But it goes the same for smiling and laughing, only this time we relate to the comic aspects of a person or thing's experience.
So, the next time you are about to cry during a flick, do not hesitate to do so, no one should think any less of you. On the contrary, compassion is in extremely low supply these days
It takes a mentally tough and resilient individual to bear the emotional outpourings empathetic people have to bear over and over again, which can literally drain the energy right out of you.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is either superficially tough or completely callous, none of which will help them become a better person, both professionally and individually.
Crying at movies is likened to extroversion, self-esteem, and emotional intelligence
Researchers studying movie crying have discerned some personality traits linked with sorrow and crying that include femininity, self-esteem, compassion, extroversion, and even signs of prior anxiety and stress.
They also found that women who were crying during movies were reportedly sad afterwards, unlike men, who cried but reported no emotional association with the movie.
The notion one has of a mentally tough person seems to completely contradict the concept one has of a person crying at the movies.
The abovementioned experiment has, however, deduced that one of the personality traits of people who cry at movies – extroversion– is actually associated with ego strength and high self-esteem, which are indicators of mentally stable and tough individuals.
People who tend to cry at the movies have an advantage over others in that they can detect emotional signs based on body language, facial expression, and intuition, something which can help improve your interaction with other people and your overall judgment of them. Such skills which will particularly come in handy if you are in marketing.
Moreover, when people cry at movies they've become so absorbed and engrossed in the movie that researchers have also taken into consideration the notion of being in two bodies while watching a movie.
While they are able to discern between fiction and reality, more observant and sensitive people can become so immersed in a film that they feel they are both in the theatre seat and movie at the same time.
This sensation of being able to utterly identify with actors' experiences on-screen can cause viewers to feel a certain "dizziness and nausea, an unsettling yet – to a certain degree – pleasurable feeling, which is significantly intensified in media environments such as 3-D films and virtual reality."

Well, alpine is weird, gentoo is big and openwrt is weirder.
So for now I am building void linux. The image is 2 gigabytes. Very basic image, spawns a getty on ttyS0
Username is root and password is voidlinux. The wifi stuff is in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf, add as many "network"s as you want, and that is my real wifi password. If you come to my house you can use it. Also nuke the ssh host keys if you want to use ssh.
For now the kernel is stock and only 1 i2c bus works, spi is non existent and ttyS0 works. Hopefully this will get better.
Chrony is included and configured so you can set the time right before using xbps-install as that uses ssl.
This is based on the cubieboard2 rootfs

Another little problem with Old Blue this week. Fortunately it was just a minor problem that was easy to fix on my own.
On Friday I observed that my turn signal indicator was blinking faster. I was not sure what the problem was, but somewhere in the depths of my mind I drug up the fact that it was an indication of a burnt out blinker bulb.
I did know that I wasn't out of blinker fluid 🙂
I checked when I got home and sure enough the right rear blinker light was not blinking. However, the light was on which confused me. More about that later.
After services this morning I stopped by an auto parts store and found the bulb that I would need. Of course they didn't sell the bulbs individually, I had to buy a pack of two. So, I now have a spare for when the next bulb burns out.
I was lucky in that I got the last one in stock. I am glad that I didn't have to go from store to store to find a bulb.
Of course the next step was following the directions to replace the bulb.
After removing the cargo net mounts and pulling back the lining of the trunk I was able to see the two nuts I needed to remove. One is in the lower right and the other in the upper left of the picture. I was able to borrow an adjustable wrench from David and I soon had the lamp assembly removed.
Here you see the back of the tail light assembly. I then simply had to unscrew the bulb socket from the assembly.
Here you can see the socket with the new bulb. You can see that the bulb has two filaments. This is why the bulb was still lit when I checked, but was not blinking. A two in one bulb.
On the old bulb you could clearly see that the filament was burnt so it was confirmation that the bulb was the problem.
Here I am testing the blinker before bolting the assembly back in place. You can see the glow of the blinker inside the assembly.
If you look close you can see a reflection of me taking the picture.
I am glad that I got the blinker fixed before going back into commute traffic this coming week. I don't want other drivers muttering about me not using my blinker to indicate a lane change. I am sure I am not the only one to do so 🙂
At least I now know how to change the rear bulbs on my car. I just don't want to tackle the front ones as they are very tricky and are a two man job.

text: Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted July 28, 2010 DISCLOSE Act was Democrats' response to earlier Supreme Court decision With Obama's support, Democrats crafted the campaign finance bill in response to a Supreme Court decision in January that overturned federal and state limits on independent expenditures by corporations to support or oppose candidates. The Democratic-backed bill would require corporate as well as union and advocacy group leaders to disclose their names in campaign ads rather than allow so-called front groups to take responsibility for the political advertising. Assistant Senate Democratic Leader Dick Durbin pointedly noted that many Republicans had earlier favored more disclosure. But this year, Durbin said, "They're betting that most of these ads are going to be on behalf of their candidates and against Democrats. That's what it comes down to." Repuk dem Martian I dun fuckin carewe have a right to know whose money is buying our govt The sith lords...erm I mean supreme court totally skull fucked campaign finance reform Apparently MORE repukes need to be voted out in November so we can get some fucking version of this bill passed I dun want multinational oil companies picking our leaders anyfuckinmore Republicans voted against even debating the DISCLOSE Act Tuesday, blocking the attempt to blunt the impact of the unpopular court ruling that allows corporations spend limitless dollars on U.S. elections.

ISLAMABAD – The primary focus of the U.S. civilian-assistance program commonly referred to and widely recognized as USAid, is to develop a stable, secure and tolerant Pakistan with a vibrant economy.
Working with other U.S. agencies, as well as donors and international development partners, USAID has focused its program over the last year on five areas essential to Pakistan's stability and long-term development and reflective of Pakistani priorities: energy, economic growth, stabilization, education and health.
The inherent message communicated through various media appears to be making inroads in peoples minds and has successfully cultivated a positive image that the programs aims to helping them in far-flung areas and monitoring the overall progress through an instrumental transparency process.
The findings of a country wide categorical opinion poll recently concluded by Insights Research Consultants, an Islamabad based prominent research organization, affirmed that the majority of Pakistani people pose significant trust in USAID community-assistance program and they see such initiatives as a good medium of boosting positive image of USA in Pakistan.
The poll was done by using the tool of computer Aided Telephonic Interviews (CATI) with 2080 randomly selected phone-owning residents of 13 districts of Pakistan- Gilgit, Upper Dir, Lower Dir, Abbotabad, Mianwalli, Sheikupura, Muzaffargarh, Bhawalpur, Dadu, Larkana, Badin, Jaffarabad and Naseerabad. The respondents belonged to Socio -Economic Classes A, B & C.
The analysis of the opinion poll widely negates the belief that US Aid was being rejected in the wake of some recent events and respondents attributed such rumors as baseless propaganda to grab the attention of a minority mindset who always try to mobilize public against USA by using the name of religion for their vote banks.
The study established that the real beneficiaries were the widespread rural populace who had been deprived of basic amenities such as water reservoirs, schools, health facilities, etc. for several decades. They now viewed US Aid Program as a savior in helping Pakistan to develop a vibrant economy for its citizens and to become a robust economic partner among its neighbors and the global community. By applying the principles of host-country ownership, sustainability and mutual accountability, USAID and their Pakistani partners are ensuring that civilian assistance to Pakistan achieves lasting results.

Several studies have highlighted the health problems associated with use of tanning beds. Now, recent research presented at the International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research, hosted by the American Association for Cancer Research, has revealed that the risk of cancer significantly escalates with increased exposure to harmful rays from indoor tanning.
In the longitudinal study, researchers monitored the tanning habits of 73,000 individuals for twenty years. The study focused on the development of basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma, the three most common types of skin cancer. Researchers found that the risk of developing cancer increased the more often an individual tanned indoors. In fact, using a tanning bed only four times a year can increase one's risk of basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma by 15% and melanoma by 11%. The study results also highlighted that young people, ages 25-35, were particularly at risk for developing skin cancer.
About ten percent of the population use a tanning bed at least once a year, contributing heavily to the cases that make skin cancer the most common form of cancer in the United States. Tanning, especially indoors, is one of the easiest ways to damage skin cells. If you would like to know more about how to keep your skin healthy and beautiful, contact Zimmet Vein & Dermatology today.

A Series of Forbes Insights Profiles of Thought Leaders Changing the Business Landscape: Ryan Petersen, Founder and CEO, Flexport.
Companies such as FedEx and UPS have shipping wrapped up, if you will, very neatly: One can always easily mail a package, and even more easily track its whereabouts from any computer or smartphone.
But the $9 trillion business of global logistics couldn't be further from this model. When it comes to shipping, say, cargo crates of toys from China to the U.S., one company may handle the crate packing, another the loading, and several more the actual movement of goods from one shore to another. Then there is the issue of paperwork: The customs forms and goods titles are nearly always written on actual sheets of paper—sent via fax and chased around the world by phone call from one destination to the next.
Enter entrepreneur Ryan Petersen, whose San Francisco start-up, Flexport, aims to bring global freight transport into the 21st century by automating one of the world's oldest industries. "It's really all about coordinating complexity," says Petersen. Unlike with shipping smaller parcels,, "in the freight world, the user experience is just broken," he says, explaining that "no company has enough assets to keep the goods within their own company the whole time—the shipments are forced to change hands many times. You're going to need truckers in China. You're going to need truckers in the United States, and an airplane or a ship to connect them, with warehouses all through the chain."
So Petersen has developed a web-based software application that enables efficiency in an otherwise very disjointed system. For the first time, companies who place orders for large-scale goods can ship, track and manage all of their freight in a single online dashboard without spending millions on software and implementation. Flexport gives the software away for free and only makes money when goods are moved, competing head-to-head with traditional freight forwarders.
"Our whole thing is about software," says Petersen, whose aim is achieving easier transactions, lower customer costs, and decreased error rates on freight shipments "But it's also to really to fix the user experience," he says, "so customers get more visibility: 'Where's all my stuff?' in real time, 'How much am I going to spend on it? How can we reroute things? How can I optimize my shipping? Should I be shipping by air or ocean?' Help me make that decision. 'How many units should we be ordering?"
One example of how Flexport reduces inefficiency here is simply by cutting the need for customer calls. Petersen figures that some 40% of all calls to freight forwarders are customers inquiring about their goods' whereabouts—a rather expensive and time-consuming exercise that involves manpower to track things such as ships or cargo planes and then get back to the caller. "Not that we don't want to talk to our customers, Petersen says with a laugh, but "if you could eliminate 40% of phone calls, you could certainly make things a lot cheaper for everybody, right, including those people who are asking where their stuff is. They just get a log-in and they go see it" in real-time on the dashboard, he says.
"This is just one example of many where, when you bring this old-school analog process onto the Internet for the first time, you get more than just a digital copy of the status quo."
Petersen won't disclose numbers, but he says Flexport has 600 customers who use its software to "run significant parts of their supply chain." In the 30 months since Flexport was founded, it has increased revenue by 25% each month, he says. Investors include Peter Thiel's Founders Fund, First Round Capital and Google Venture, among others.
Petersen, 35, has entrepreneurism in his blood. Both of his parents owned their own businesses in Bethesda, Maryland, where he grew up. His dad owned a software company that provided regulatory compliance software to large food companies, while his mom started Novigen Sciences, later sold to Exponent, a leading engineering consulting firm. He got his start as a boy selling Cokes to his mother's company. "My dad taught me to write computer programs to generate invoices for her, so I got started young," he says.
As a senior in high school in the late 1990s, Petersen teamed up with his older brother and his friend, who had started a cottage business selling gadgets and gimmicky toys on Ebay. It soon became obvious that by cutting the U.S. wholesaler and importing the goods directly from China, they could boost margins. As some of the first players arbitraging the price of goods on Alibaba.com with their price in U.S. markets, the business grew to generate over $5M in annual revenue.
Their initial focus on sales through online marketplaces like eBay and Amazon left them vulnerable to low cost competition, so the business went through a few rough patches. But the boys regrouped, focusing on their brand- and website building skills, even while Petersen earned his undergraduate degree in economics from U.C. Berkeley.
Over the ensuing decade, the team developed close to 40 e-commerce web sites selling everything from scooters and dirt bikes to toilets and sinks. They became masters at search-engine optimization, buying online ads, and building e-commerce experiences. None of the goods they sold had much in common, except that they were all very heavy objects that had to be transported around the world. Petersen sums it up: "We learned what a pain it was to move freight internationally and clear things through customs, make sure that you meet all the compliance regulations, and frankly, figure out where your stuff is and when it's going to arrive, and how much its going to cost you and not get ripped off. It was a real struggle for years and years for that business."
Petersen soon moved to China for the business, who's flagship brand at that time was known as Wasauna. He studied Chinese in the morning and worked all afternoon to find new products and factories, negotiating deals and coordinating shipments. While in China, Petersen made a valuable discovery: All of the shipping manifests, or the documents that contain title information on goods entering the U.S., are public record in the United States. Working again with his brother and friend, Petersen collected some 380 million such documents, indexed them, made them searchable, and in 2008, launched ImportGenius.com, a subscription service sold mainly to importers and exporters. During development of the new service, Petersen went back to school, completing his MBA at Columbia Business School.
Petersen stayed with ImportGenius until 2013, when he peeled off to focus his efforts on fixing the massive problems—and opportunities— presented by global transport of large-scale goods. "I assumed that the terrible experiences I had working with traditional freight forwarders were the result of Wasauna's small scale. But in running ImportGenius, we had some of the biggest companies in the world as clients, and they told me the customer experience and data they got from their forwarders was effectively the same poor quality that I was getting."
He started Flexport as a freight forwarder that would use software to simplify global trade for businesses of all sizes. "New possibilities emerge where you can do things that you wouldn't have imagined doing in a world where you're doing all the transactions on pieces of paper [and] storing the data in file cabinets, which is currently the status quo at every major freight forwarder in the world," Petersen says.
"For us, this means building the world's best freight forwarder,starting with getting really good at moving boxes while giving people more visibility and control over their supply chain. The scale of the problems is so huge that you can build a very big business if you solve them. We're getting really good at modeling the real world in software, and then using that software to drive better results back in the real world."

Premier League Tips: More Goals Please Manchester
There's two big derbies to look forward to this weekend in the Premier League – and they don't come any bigger than Manchester United vs Manchester City, which will hopefully prove just as exciting as recent renewals as both teams try to gain an edge in the battle for the title. At the other end of the table, the Geordie Derby may also have a say in which one of Sunderland or Newcastle will be relegated this season.
Read our analysis of this weekend's two big derbies, and also Villa vs Swansea, and Arsenal vs Everton, below.
Villa vs Swansea (Saturday 3pm)
The wheels have come off Swansea's season in their last few matches, and they've failed to score in 4 of their last 5 Premier League matches. Meanwhile, Villa's home record so far this season is abysmal with losses to Stoke, West Brom and Man United, a solitary point against fellow relegation fodder Sunderland, and just 2 goals in those 4 games. The previous 4 renewals have also produced no more than 2 goals in any game – and the 11/8 for their to be less than 2.5 goals looks a no-brainer!
Less than 2.5 goals @ 11/8 (BetVictor)
Arsenal vs Everton
Unexpected dominant performances against Manchester United and Bayern Munich have got the Arsenal faithful expecting great things from this season, but 4/9 still looks incredibly short against a team that is unbeaten on their Premier League travels so far this season. It could be that Arsenal's current form is too good for Everton but, as 2 of the last 3 renewals have been draws, the 43/10 for another draw just smacks of value whether it collects or not.
Draw @ 43/10 (Marathon Bet)
Sunderland vs Newcastle
Both teams will do well to avoid relegation this season, but winning this Geordie Derby could offer either team an early survival lifeline. Newcastle are probably shorter than they should be after hitting form against Norwich, and I'd much sooner back Sunderland who will be up for this fixture as usual, and have also won the last two.
Sunderland @ 7/4 (Coral)
Man United vs Man City
It's too early for this to be a title decider but both teams will want their fans to have the bragging rights come Sunday afternoon. United won 4-2 last year, however City won the previous 3 in impressive fashion. The result is a tough call, but the standout statistic is that there has been at least 3 goals in the last four renewals.
More than 2.5 goals @ 7/8 (888, Unibet)

OAOA designs office building in Bahrain featuring four stacked boxes
To be located in the centre of Bahrain, Big Box, designed by UK-based practice OAOA, is an office tower that will sit along a prominent highway intersection in Salmabad and rise to a height of 74m.
Giving occupants panoramic views of the city and seascape beyond, the project consists of four stacked cubes with similar proportions. While retail spaces and a lobby activate the pedestrian level, parking is placed in the aluminium louver-cladded podium box. Office spaces are designated to the three upper boxes, which are visually separated from the lower box, as they are cladded with a ceramic-fritted curtain wall.
According to Omar Al Omari, founder and director of OAOA, the concept of the project is a response to the client's desire for the structure to stand out from other buildings in Bahrain and achieve a high-density commercial space using a reasonable budget.
"The unique form of the building as a series of stacked and shifting boxes is a simple yet novel way of fulfilling these requirements within a complex set of planning and site constraints," Omari said.
Due to the tight proportions of the plot, the architects found a rectangular plan to be the most efficient in terms of cost and area optimisation. And with a high water table in Bahrain, OAOA placed parking within the podium and raised it to create an inviting and permeable lobby and retail space at the base.
"We didn't like the idea of a typical stumpy building sitting on top of the podium. We intended to integrate the building with its podium to achieve taller, slender and more elegant proportions, so we replicated the proportions of the podium box in the remainder of the building, which resulted in four boxes," added Al Omari. "These were offset from one another to take advantage of setback regulation allowances, maximising office space."
While the structure largely comprises reinforced concrete and post tensioned slabs, the main shell of the building is a curtain wall of well-insulated double glazing that maximises views toward the surroundings with an added layer of ceramic fritting for shading and solar protection. The podium further features vertical aluminium louvers, which act as permeable skin allowing for cross air ventilation.
"The use of innovative ceramic fritting for shading and creating the monolithic vertical pattern of the façade allowed us to maintain one predominant material – glass – to achieve a multitude of functions without the need to add thick material layers that are costly and which would obstruct the views," said Omari. "The glass-to-glass corner detail also maximises the sought-after dual aspect 'corner' views from the inside, and gives the elegant appearance of a seamless glass box from the outside."
Omari noted that the use of ceramic-fritted glass is a passive design technique, as it allows for clear natural light while providing shading to the required degree and location.
"In most buildings, the glass is tinted or mirrored to decrease the amount of daylight," he said. "Tinting makes everything appear darker while mirror glass reflects heat, exasperating the problem for neighbours and the environment…Fritted glass helps reduce glare and the need of added physical layers, such as louvers or screens. By reducing heat gain, we reduce cooling loads, which reduces the emission of heat and harmful gases from AC machines, saving energy and lowering running costs."
The architects further embedded a LED strip used for feature lighting into the glass-to-glass corner, which highlights the edges of each box, creating a contemporary visual impact.
The building is intended to appeal to a wide spectrum of tenants, Omari added, from corporates to start-ups and individuals. Therefore, the design of Big Box's public and shared spaces was kept "minimally elegant, flexible and highly functional".
To start construction in the next few months, Big Box is expected to be completed by late 2020 or early 2021.

King Arthur Essay
H.British Lit
King Arthur Essay
Heroes are usually the major part of a legend. Heroes exemplify the qualities that the people of their time period admire most in a person. Beowulf was considered to be a hero in the Anglo- Saxon era. King Arthur was considered a hero in the medieval era. From one era to the other, the concept of what a hero is has changed.
During Beowulf's time, he fought monsters and mythical creatures, like dragons. Beowulf was extremely strong with almost immortal abilities. "In this far-off home Beowulf, Higlac's follower and the strongest of the Geats—greater and stronger than anyone in this world †" He could do things that most humans couldn't do. He was very brave and was not in fear of death. Besides his strong qualities, Beowulf would help whoever needed him even though he had no position of authority or obligation to help.
King Arthur what was also a hero, but his time period had a different definition of a hero was. King Arthur was a leader of a specific group of loyal subjects, and had an obligation to his people. "'Alas,' said the King, 'this is to me a full heavy sight to see this noble duke so die for my sake, for he would have helped me that had more need of help than I'". Unlike Beowulf, King Arthur had no immortal abilities. He was still human and could be wounded, but he had a brave heart that he used to protect his people. He fought a real enemy in war, not mythical creatures. His people were loyal to him for all that he did for them.
Throughout time the definition of hero has changed, but they are always the people who the public of that time see as an exemplary person. Beowulf was immortal unlike King Arthur, showing at least one change in the aspects of a hero. The Anglo-Saxon and Medieval time periods were very different in writing their legends. Both Beowulf and King Arthur are good examples of heroes who are nothing alike, but who are still heroic to the people...

AN21 & Max Vangeli Vs. Steve Angello – H8RS (Tom Staar & Kryder Remix) (BBC Radio 1)
Νέα παρουσίαση του μεγάλου remix που ετοιμάζουν οι Tom Staar και Kryder για το αγαπημένο release των AN21 & Max Vangeli και Steve Angello η οποία πραγματοποιήθηκε στο BBC Radio 1 και στην εκπομπή του Danny Howard:
"Premiered live on Danny Howard's 'Dance Anthems' on BBC Radio 1 on 01/03/14.
Back again with a devastating right hand knock out, comes Kryder and Tom Staar's rework of the Steve Angello, AN21 and Max Vangelli original tune, "H8RS". Perfectly laid drums deliver the foundation to this dark and nasty tune.
The deep pulsating bass line gives just the right amount of bounce, while the non-stop synth makes you feel like you might need to rush into the shower to clean up, yes it's that dirty. The progression and key changes flow, and the change ups are just noticeable enough, to keep the dance floor on their toes. The intensity and aggression that builds to the peak of "H8RS" is simply… monstrous.
That being said, a tune this dark, with its menacing laugh and "F" the H8RS" vox, it's actually nice to hear Kryder and Tom build and drop this rework, shall we say, beautifully, which easily could have been done to make us dizzy. Wait, can I say "beautifully" to describe a tune this nasty? I just did. Well done."

No double fist pumps today, Iain?
Labour MP Debbie Abrahams:
"Two weeks ago the work and pensions secretary's department not only admitted to falsifying testimonies in a leaflet but they also published data on deaths of people on sickness benefit which showed they are four times more likely to die than the general population.
"This was after the secretary of state told this house that this data did not exist. Given this and his offensive remarks earlier this week referring to people without disabilities as 'normal', when will the prime minister take control and respond to my call for the work and pensions secretary to be investigated for breaching the ministerial code?
Don't hold your breath.

Really well, thank you for asking.
I'd become a little disillusioned with World of Warcraft recently and even had a go at playing a Horde character, but I couldn't get into playing a Tauren and missed my mid-level Dwarf hunter Burgen. My wife joined a Guild called Azeroth Raiders and they invited me, too, and they're a lovely bunch of helpful, funny people.
Their tabard clashes with my Ebonhold armour, mind you, but I'll let that go.

Our Story
Our son Corwyn was born with a rare brain malformation, he was medically fragile with many health issues. While in the hospital we found that charities visit, support, bring special visitors and comfort items. When we moved to care at home we found we were alone, no charities service families in their home. After our son passed away at home in November 2016 we decided this is a cause we would like to bring light to. We want to support medically fragile children and their families. We offer advocacy, support, education and services throughout their difficult time. Mission: Bringing forth uplifting support to medically fragile children and their families. Vision: Build a network of advocates that can help families with short term and long term support, Establish a collaborative relationship with community partners, Connect families to palliative care and additional resources in the community, Increase community awareness about palliative and hospice care resources for children through education.

Love Should Be Easy 4:120:00 / 4:12
Party Cake 3:490:00 / 3:49
"This is an album of ear candy where it is simply far too easy to just keep playing the cd over and over again. I'm always amazed how quickly it has again passed, as I've just floated through another wonderful realm of sheer auditory pleasure. The production is just amazing. "Party Cake" seems like something Fleetwood Mac could have put on "Rumours." Sue's gorgeous lyrics ring through my head again and again. I'll find myself just singing out lyrics like "Re-al-ity" and "All I know is that I love you with my energy and light" in a bank or grocery store. Fortunately when these songs run through my mind, it's a very welcome thing, not a Genesis song you wish you never heard in the first place. "Louisiana" is simply gorgeous--simple, evocative and heart-felt; "Find the Love" is a rocker you could welcome swilling a Corona to at a local bar; "Love Should be Easy" challenges us to clean our mirrors, our souls, while lifting us to sonic heights. But still my favorite is "Energy and Light," the joy and ease Sue extends in it so artfully. I look forward to seeing Sue at gigs all around the U.S. She is warmly welcome by many fans here in Charlottesville.

The 80×20 Lifestyle
A lifestyle that allows a little room for tater tots + champagne.
The 80X20 lifestyle is the HXH preferred approach to dietary health for so many reasons. Really – I could go on forever, but I'll try to reign it in with this blog post. Sharing the 80X20 lifestyle gets me so fired up because I am so passionate about the benefits of it. Living and eating this way has helped me stay healthy AND happy, which we all know can be a hard balance to achieve. I have been practicing 80Xx0 a while now, and this plan is the only one I can confidently say has worked for me. It's pretty simple, it's very effective and I highly recommend it.
So here's the way 80X20 works…for about 80% of the meals I eat in a given week, I strive to consume whole food, plant based options with very little added oils. This means no meat, no cheese, no eggs, no dairy. I rely heavily on high carb foods like fruits, potatoes, unrefined whole grains like quinoa and jasmine rice, along with a ton of leafy greens as key components in my 80% meals. Salsa, marinara, mustard, and other low oil sauces are my favorite "dippers." It's so important to experiment and discover meals that you love when it comes to the 80% category. There are so many great options, so don't assume that whole food, plant based meals have to be limited or boring. Plus, it's important to experiment and find meals that you love in this category. It will help you stay on track and not feel tempted to binge eat on your 20% meals.
Check out the "Rich Roll Meal Planner" on www.richroll.com if you love cooking at home and want some recipes.
The 20% meals allow a little space to have some fun, we all have to live a little! I consider this food the wiggle room percent. 20% meals should make up three to four of your weekly meals. These meals are not meant to be an all-out splurge, and for the record, I don't recommend eating an entire meal of fried food, cheese, meat, and a giant dessert . The 20% meals should still (for the most part) follow the guidelines of your 80% meals, but with a little wiggle room. Oils and cheese are heavy on saturated fat, which is why I put them in the 20% category. For me, this looks like indulging in a side of tater-tots or having a dessert. For others, this might mean eating meat or cheese. Note: I try to limit meat consumption to 3x a year. Remember, the goal is to FEEL GOOD. So it's up to you how far off the path you want to go with your 20% meals – it's calculated in to feel less rigid and calculated in your weekly food consumption. How great is that?!
80% Meal Examples
- B.B. smoothies
- Jackfruit Tacos on Siete Tortillas
- Big Leafy Green Salad w/ Dressing by Primal Kitchen
- Veggie Pizza Made on the Plant-based Califlour Crust
- "Alfredo" Pasta made w/ Lentil + Chickpea Pasta, Topped w/ The Honest Stand Vegan Cheese Sauce
- Dave's Killer Bread or Ezekiel Bread, Thin Sliced Toast w/ Bomb Butter Smeared on Top
- ISO: I am still on the hunt for an awesome veggie burger I can buy the store! Let me know your favorite brands.
20% Meal Examples
My 20% meals usually occur when I eat out, but there is one pasta brand I LOVE that I will cook at home, and it stays in my 20% category.
- Capelli Fettuccine Pasta w/ a Vegan Sauce. It is made with almond flour and eggs. So that is why it stays in my 20%, because of the eggs.
- Ricotta Gnocchi Pasta w/ a Vegan Sauce. I usually get this from The Obstinate Daughter. YUM!
- Vegan Pizza from Mellow Mushroom. I'll bring my own Vegan Ranch as a dip and sometimes I will get the soft pretzel with the mustard sauce too because it is just so darn good.
- Tater Tots from Home Team BBQ.
- Black Bean Nachos with no cheese from Home Team BBQ. I use the BBQ sauce instead of the cheese.
- If I am at a party or an event – I go for the dessert table. I usually won't eat the whole thing because I know it won't make me feel good.
Why have I chosen this lifestyle, and why does it work?
Eating a 100% whole foods, plant-based diet, for me anyway, made me pretty miserable. I was constantly craving 'fun foods' and felt like eating socially was such a drag. I became a little obsessive. I couldn't stop thinking about all of the things that I "wasn't allowed" to eat.
Also, America is a REALLY hard place to practice a totally plant based, vegan diet. There are so many treats and junk food options that are tied to a normal social life. While practicing 80X20 I still have alcohol, usually in the form of wine, champagne, or tequila + soda + lime. I'll allow myself a few drinks on Friday and Saturday but I've gotten to a place where I hate staying out late because I don't see the point anymore. Yay for progress since graduating college!
Lastly, I think that every so often, it's important to allow for "emotional feedings". I'm not talking about going crazy and binging; I'm talking about indulging in foods that make us happy and that we enjoy regardless of their ingredients. These are the foods that give us a break from an otherwise concentrated diet of healthy, whole foods. This ability to be flexible from eating totally clean and healthy takes away the pressure and strain of our normal diets and allows for some breathing room, all while maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle. One of the best parts of the 80X20 lifestyle is being able to eat some "cheat" meals and not ever having to feel guilty about it! #TreatYoSelf (20% of the time, of course.) Remember this is NOT a fad diet – it's a way of life.
For some, this way of life might look more like 70×30 or 90×10 – and that's totally cool. You do you! It's all about balance. It keeps the "guilt" meals limited and the earth grown, fiber filled, healthy meals fueling your bod!
I take my 80X20 lifestyle day-by-day. For some people, meal planning is freeing. For me, meal planning means stress and slipping into my bad habit of obsessively thinking about food. One of the reasons I created the Blender Bombs brand is because BBs provide the perfect foundation for an 80X20 lifestyle.
I know that every day, my first meal is going to be a smoothie packed with plant-based, whole food ingredients that will keep me full until my second meal. It's easy, it creates a pattern, and it takes out the guesswork for half of my meals.
For dinner, I decide day by day what I'm going to eat. There are a handful of restaurants in Charleston that serve great go-to 80% meals. I also keep groceries on standby that are whole food, plant-based. It's really not as difficult as you may think!
So – what does 80X20 look like for you? What are some ways this lifestyle has benefited you? What questions do you have about the 80X20 lifestyle?

Metro-North Train (credit: MTA.info)
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Metro-North commuter train service will be operational for the Monday morning rush from New Haven and Bridgeport, Conn., but only at about half its normal capacity.
As of late Sunday afternoon, crews were still working to remove deep volumes of snow from the yards in New Haven and Bridgeport, and to clear the track switches. About 45 maintenance of way workers from New York City were dispatched to Connecticut to help with the effort Sunday evening.
Two jet engine blowers were put into action for the effort, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said.

Designing the KU Core
In the first year of implementing Bold Aspirations, the foundation for the KU Core was built and policies for the University Core Curriculum Committee (UCCC) were established. In year two, we will design the curriculum by asking members of the KU community to nominate courses and educational experiences to become part of the KU Core. The UCCC, in conjunction with key constituents on campus, will ensure that the design, technological infrastructure, procedures, and training are in place to successfully launch the KU Core in Fall 2013.
For inclusion of a course or experience in the KU Core, the proposal process involves completing an on-line application specifying how the course or experience enables students to meet particular learning outcome(s). The department submits the application, associated school or college curriculum committee review it, and forwarded to the University Core Curriculum Committee to verify that the proposed course/experience meets the criteria associated with the learning outcome(s).
The application form can be found on the KU Core website and includes the following:
- Contact information for a point person in the sponsoring department;
- Information about the course or experience nominated for inclusion in the KU Core;
- Justification for inclusion in the KU Core, including how the course or educational experience will meet the criteria of each Learning Outcome that it is proposed to fulfill; and
- Plans for assessing student achievement of the learning outcomes.
KU Core courses and educational experiences will be reviewed periodically and considered for continued inclusion in the KU Core curriculum. To be re-approved, each course or educational experience will be expected to provide direct evidence that students have met the criteria of the learning outcome.

TOKYO -- Japan's Kosuke Kitajima set a
world record of two minutes and 7.51 seconds in the men's 200-meter breaststroke on Sunday.
The 25-year-old eclipsed American Brendan Hansen's previous
mark of 2:08.50 at an Olympic tune-up
ahead of August's Beijing Games.
"I feel like crying," the double 2004 Olympic gold
medalist Kitajima told reporters.
"It was a perfect swim and has given my confidence a real
"Of course I'm only thinking about winning gold in Beijing,
and if I don't win gold I won't come back."
Kitajima won gold in the 100 and 200 meters at the Athens
Olympics four years ago but has largely played second fiddle to
rival Hansen since. Hansen still owns the 100-meters mark.
"It's great at this stage to break one of Hansen's
records," Kitajima added. "I kept getting beaten by him. Now I
can go to the Olympics aiming for the gold medal."
Kitajima, who is contracted to Japanese company Mizuno, has
been wearing swimsuits made by Britain's Speedo during the
Japan Open event at Tokyo's Tatsumi swimming center.

Father Pawns 2-Year-Old Daughter to Restaurant After Failing to Pay for a Bowl of Noodles
"I'll come back tomorrow with cash and get her."
There's this joke that if you eat at a restaurant and you couldn't pay for your meal, you have to go to the kitchens and wash dishes to pay it off. That doesn't sound so bad, especially if you compare that to pawning your own child in exchange for a meal!
Apparently, a Chinese man ordered a bowl of noodles at a restaurant in Foshan, Guangdong and with him was his 2-year-old daughter. It was only after he finished his meal that he realized he was 1 yuan short to pay for the noodles, which was sold at 6 yuan.
Now the man could have thought of a more practical way to deal with the situation but instead, he thought leaving his child behind at the restaurant is a good idea.
"I am going to leave her here as pawn. I'll come back tomorrow with cash and get her," the man reportedly told a staff member at the cashier's counter.
The incident was caught on video. It showed the little girl starting to cry as soon as her father stepped out of the establishment.
The owner told reporters that they "sat the girl down in the kitchen and gave her a bottle of soy milk."
He eventually called the police after failing to locate the father outside. He thought the girl had been abandoned.
The father did return to the restaurant several hours later and was shocked when he didn't see his daughter there.
The man flew into a rage upon knowing that the police was called.
"The man insisted he wasn't abandoning his daughter and was just trying to get some cash,' said officer Huang Zhenyu of the Shunde district police.
"But it took him a long time to return to the restaurant because his electric scooter ran out of battery and he had to wait for it to charge."
The report said that "The man, surnamed Ding, has expressed remorse for his actions after receiving a 'stern lecture' from police."
If this leads you to wonder what actually happens when people couldn't pay for their meals at restaurants. According to an article, the establishment may ask for some sort of collateral, or a member of the staff can actually cover for the food.
"It usually is an honest mistake," said Sheryl Best, director of guest relations at Echo & Rig in Las Vegas. The establishment allows the guest to leave if this happens, but they are asked to leave something in return.
"We ask the guest to leave behind an ID or a phone. This assures they will be back."
According to Matt Pinsker, waiter and busboy at Olive Garden and Max & Erma's, "the protocol is to get the customer's information and make a copy of their ID. However, if they forgot their wallet, law enforcement may come to identify the person first before they are allowed to leave."
Sometimes the staff comes through for customers who were obviously going through a tough time and just needed to eat a decent meal.
Former restaurant Jay Skowron recalled that "[A single mom] only ordered a side dish for herself and let her two children split one of the larger adult entrées we had on the menu," Skowron explains. "My server came up to me at the end and said that her debit card had been declined and another card provided was also not working. I was allowed one free shift meal a day for myself, so I told her I would cover the cost of the meals for her and her kids using my comp. "
"I also gave the kids two desserts before they all left. She was incredibly grateful, and in this case, I found no reason to doubt the sincerity of her story. It was a touching moment and I was grateful to be able to help out a little."

Often, corporations that have created web site|an internet site|a web site} over a pair of years past (or UN agency have done it internally, or UN agency have used a medium quality website generator like Wix, 1and1 Builder notice themselves with a website that doesn't seem within the prime positions in Google results.
Or if it seems, it's in most cases on the second page for key words essential for its activity.
Suffice to mention that such a website is sort of invisible on the search engines.
In this case, there are 2 solutions, either redo or optimize the website to enhance its positioning as best as doable.
The best resolution could generally be to redo the location (or even to require a replacement domain name), however, usually such a website is well placed on some expressions, and most frequently the constraints of your time and budget push to consider optimization of the present site for SEO.
Add content
This may appear obvious. However, the simplest thanks to improving Google's ranking is to jot down additional text (with one page of text for one phrase to position itself on) and publish new content additional typically. The principle is that the additional pages you have got optimized for everyone, the additional you will be visible.
For example: presently, your website is optimized by Google on twenty keywords. If you notice twenty additional pages on twenty expressions, you'll be visible on five to ten additional keywords, thus have additional traffic.
Indeed, a primary criterion to be placed on Google is crucial content and often updated.
The goal isn't to create a page with all its keywords recurrent many times however to jot down one page for every phrase or specific keywords.
Review the hierarchy of the location
Google ANalyzes websites in keeping with an algorithmic rule. So the additional this analysis is going to be natural and logical, Google can completely analyze the additional your website.
The logic is that if we've got a crucial theme, it follows that a lot of pages of this website should talk about this theme.
And still being logical, the additional pages on a subject, the additional the page at the origin of those pages "girls" on this specific theme are going to be relevant on the identical topic.
With Google it is the same: a mother page on a subject gets all the facility of the girl's pages behind.
For example, if one in all your main themes is selling, the additional you'll have "girls" pages behind on selling variations (e.g., interactive selling, net marketing), the additional your overall website is going to be thought of relevant on the market — keyword "marketing" by Google.
Put a sitemap and sitemap
Indeed, Google believes that the add a page is "high" within the structure of the location, the additional vital it's … that is "logical" to that degree as logically we have a tendency to begin from the foremost vital to the smallest amount vital (and so from the foremost artificial to the fullest).
This is why Google can assign a more robust "notation" to pages place 1st on a website, and instead can take into account the pages "far" (= it should undergo one or a pair of pages to induce there) in navigation as less significant.
In observe, merely place a page "Sitemap" directly on the house page, and link to the current page the subpages most vital to you (be careful to create a most of one hundred rings, and conjointly less there's a the higher … putt twenty to thirty would be an honest average).
Once the location is well architected, it is time to redo a sitemap. The Sitemaps "explains" to Google all the pages on the location and its structure to create sure that no important pages are forgotten throughout the verification.

This article is about the band. For the TV series, between 1998 and 2000, see The Wiggles (TV series).
The first Wiggles logo was just "The Wiggles" typed out in a specific font, and it was used from their first album from 1991 until late 1996.
By December 1996, the logo was redesigned with wiggly letters out of colours and with a yellow background (pictured), which is still in use today. The word 'The' is colored red, the 'i' 's tittle (dot above lowercase letter) is green, the 'L' is purple and leaving the other letters blue. However, in Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas the I is purple on the title screen, seen in 1997.

New Outdoor Classroom
Dr. Tina Cade, Professor of Horticulture, writes about the outdoor classroom she dreamed of creating and worked to turn it into reality, a very special place to teach and learn.
Prior to construction, the Living Library garden included small sitting areas within patios/tables, but did not include a larger area for classes or bigger groups to gather. We use the Living Library garden often as our outdoor laboratory space for multiple classes, so it made sense to construct a space in which a whole class could meet. Additionally, sometimes groups/classes from other departments were meeting in our garden in the big circular area outside of the Organic Gardening plots on nice days, so building an alternative gathering spot for larger groups became necessary just so that we could use the garden.
The Environmental Service Committee on campus provided the funds to construct the area.
Most of the Living Library areas are built by students, but because this project required more dirt-moving and load bearing walls, it was hired out to Gardens by Lisa, Lisa Carpenter Prewitt. An alum, Greg Franks, was involved in the construction of the area.
We will use the area as a gathering spot for classes with laboratories that meet outside in the Living Library garden such as the AG 3308, Organic Gardening class, AG 3305, Woody Plant class, AG 3302, Herbaceous Plant Materials class and AG 4304, Landscape Management class. My hope is that other groups/classes will utilize the space when available.
This beautiful space is our new outdoor classroom.
Dr. Tina Cade obtained a grant to build this inspiring place to teach and learn.
The new outdoor classroom is a quiet, peaceful, hidden spot adjacent to the Ag Building.

The UKBA panel which is meant to consider applications under the 'exceptional' consideration process for tier 2 has this week dealt with requests from sponsors which were filed before 25 August. The panel consists of three senior representatives from UKBA's sponsor licensing unit, a representative from the Department for Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) and a representative from the MAC secretariat.
Unfortunately the panel appears to have decided to refuse all applications (including where the role is on the shortage occupation list) other than those where an extension under tier 2 or the work permit scheme for an existing worker is required. This is an extremely disappointing outcome which leaves many businesses and individuals who need tier 2 general certificates in a state of limbo.
We have explained to UKBA that under the law as it currently stands they do not have the authority to act in this manner. We have made several suggestions to them, including looking at business cases filed in support of applications, in the hope that they will make urgent changes to the process so that litigation can be avoided. In our opinion, it is very important that business cases are submitted with applications because where refusal decisions are referred to the courts, it is more likely that claimants will be granted urgent interim relief where there is a solid business case. In such cases the urgent relief we will be seeking will be a court order requiring UKBA to enable the sponsor to issue the certificate.
In the meantime where an urgent decision is genuinely required and the application is put directly to the Deputy Director of Sponsorship (or a nominated director), these cases are more likely to be approved.

Bhubaneswar: Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has thanked the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for featuring the chariot wheel of the famous Konark Sun Temple in the new Rs 10 denomination banknotes, due to be released by the apex bank shortly. The chief minister said he felt proud that a rich cultural heritage of Odisha has found a place in the country's currency.
"Filled with pride that the rich cultural heritage of #Odisha finds place in Nation's currency. #Konark Wheel, the timeless symbol of our art and sculpture, is depicted in the new Rs 10 currency note. Congratulate @RBI for incorporating the world famous Sun Temple motif in the note," Patnaik said in a tweet.
The new Rs 10 note in the Mahatma Gandhi series is designed in the base colour of chocolate brown and has the motif of the Konark Sun Temple in Odisha on its reverse, according to a release from the RBI.
The new note will have the same height of 63 millimetre as the current 10 rupee note but the width will be 123mm, slightly lesser than the 137 mm width of the existing note. The existing 10 rupee note features images of the country's fauna – rhinoceros, elephant and tiger.
