A Meditation on TARP 2.0
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
THE SCENE IS THE PUT-AND-CALL MEDITATION LOUNGE. Hundreds of options traders sit, legs akimbo, rhythmically breathing to free their minds of the noise of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner's TARP 2.0 speech. This is an easy task, as Geithner was short on substance. The group is trying to summon its inner Jamie Dimon. Rather than chanting the mystical "Om," the traders say "Jamie...Jamie...Jamie." Suddenly, the JPMorgan chief executive appears as a holographic apparition, albeit clad in a very finely tailored suit.
"You have called, and I have come." Jamie says.
"What, O wise one, should we do?" the traders ask in unison, showing a return of correlation that was supposed to have disappeared from the financial markets in January.
"The answer is easy. The path is difficult," Jamie responds. "You must ask yourself what you have done to leverage yourself to an improving economy."
"We aren't trading much with VIX above 40. We are hoarding cash and building fallout shelters. We are praying JPMorgan buys our companies," the group says.
"Smart. Ineffective. Bizarre. Unlikely," Jamie says. "We bought Washington Mutual and Bear Stearns at fire-sale prices. We take smart, calculated risks, and we build our businesses to reap greater profits when the economy improves, and it will improve. Think, traders, think: Will you be stone-cutters, or cathedral-builders?"
"How about totally hedged with out-of-the-money Standard & Poor's 500 puts?" a tired-looking trader in a funny-colored jacket asks. "Everyone knows this is a depression, and during the week the index-options trading exploded with massive put-buying and call-selling."
"Right on," another trader adds. "U.S. politicians have no idea what is happening."
"Might as well move to France," another says. "They may be socialists, but at least they talk straight. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the International Monetary Fund's managing director, said after a speech in Malaysia that the U.S., Western Europe and Japan are in depression."
"Get action. Accept the facts. In the end is the beginning, and in the beginning is the end," Jamie says, and just like that he disappears, and trading monitors emerge, conveniently tuned to options order screens.
Oppenheimer's Michael Schwartz, dean of the options strategists, arrives. His counsel: "Make a friend of fear. Think of selling General Electric's June 11 puts for $1.85 or June 10 puts for $1.42. That is an attractive premium to take on the risk of potentially buying GE stock at $9.15 or $8.58."
"But we own GE at much higher prices," a trader gripes. "And GE's options are priced as if it were a high-risk financial company that may have to cut its dividend to survive, especially if it loses its triple-A credit rating."
"As goes GE, so goes the world economy," the dean says. "When the economy recovers, so will GE."

Social network analysis is an indiscpensable tool for sociology, and is becoming increasing popular in anthropology, social-psychology and other fields. There are many papers that examine the structure of various social networks, especially modern ones derived from Facebook or Twitter data. However, if you are a theorist, it is often difficult to get your hands on publicly available social networks data, especially from non-modern networks (for a great modern -- but not internet-based -- network see the Framingham Heart Study as used in Christakis & Fowler (2007)).
In particular, I am interested in social networks in apes, hunter-gatherer, or 'primitive' tribal societies. Can you recommend a reference that contains data for such social networks?
Some desired properties include: 100-500 people, non-directed edges (so the directed learning networks of Henrich & Broesch (2011) are not quite what I am looking for), and relative general kinds of interactions (like friendship, mutual grooming, or interaction time). The hope is for the raw network (as an adjacency matrix, for example) to be available.

text: My last post was super long with no response so I'll keep this one short. I'm sure that's easier to digest and relate to anyways. Ive been married for about 2 years after a 5 year engagement and have started taking suspicions from friends and family that know my husband seriously. I came across this site and the more I'm reading online and from friends who have known people who have had or who have Asbergers themselves the more I am almost certain he has the diagnosis. We are both going through huge life changes and upheaval with us being without income for 5 months now looking at possible future foreclosure. I am Bipolar, and though I've had years symptom free while going regularly to therapy and psych med appointments, I've had to drop, lower, replace and add a bunch of medications in the last 8 months. My chemical stability is on point but environmentally things are the worst things Ive ever had to go through. Huge back story information aside, I really just could use people who can relate to what I'm going through and have advice and encouragement to guide me. After reading all these posts I really need to know is, is there any good news? Does it ever get better? Do you ever feel like you're appreciated? Are you still in love? Is it worth fighting for? i would love some hope and encouragement but at this point I'd rather have real answers and truth.

The Los Angeles Unified is the second largest school district in the nation. Unfortunately, it is also a school district with a vast set of problems, from academic outcomes to fiscal troubles. Turning this around is of utmost importance.
On the March 3 ballot, voters in the Los Angeles Unified's District 7 have the opportunity to decide an open seat. Richard Vladovic, who represents District 7, will be termed out. Vying to replace him are several credible candidates with wide-ranging ideas on how to approach the district's problems. We believe that Mike Lansing, currently the executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor, is the best fit for the district.
Lansing is no stranger to the position; he previously represented the district on the LAUSD school board from 1999 to 2007.
Lansing understands and will prioritize addressing the fiscal problems facing the district. The district, and by extension taxpayers, cannot afford more of the same. Recognizing that LAUSD voters are tired of voting for tax hikes, Lansing will take an appropriately measured approach to raising revenue while giving the budget the critical eye it deserves.
Lansing should also be expected to make sure LAUSD schools are preparing students for both college or any other post-high school career path students choose to pursue. As the only candidate who has voted to approve and deny charter school applications, Lansing also has an importantly balanced view on the role of charter schools in the district.
We recommend his election to the school board.

Climate change is high on the global agenda.
To tackle climate change, a global perspective is needed and this can be provided by satellites. Their data is key if we want to prepare ourselves for the consequences of climate change. While our Earth Explorers gather data to understand how our planet works and understand the impact that climate change and human activity are having on the planet, the European Union's Copernicus Sentinels provide systematic data for environmental services that help adapt to and mitigate change.
The video offers an overview of how European satellites keep watch over our world. It includes interviews with Josef Aschbacher, our Director of Earth Observation Programmes, and Michael Rast, our Earth Observation Senior Advisor.

President Uhuru Kenyatta has stressed that corrupt officials in his government will face the full force of the law for their actions.
President Uhuru also asked leaders and Kenyans to join hands in fighting graft in the country.
"We must, with a sense of great urgency, destroy and eliminate corruption in our country before it fully destroys us and the future of our children," the Head of State said during Madaraka Day celebrations at Kinoru Stadium in Meru County.
The President has already directed fresh vetting for heads of procurement in all State ministries within 90 days to edge out those unsuitable to serve.
"All Heads of Procurement and Accounts in Government Ministries, Departments, Agencies and Parastatals will undergo fresh vetting, including polygraph testing, to determine their integrity and suitability. Those who shall fail the vetting will stand suspended. I expect this exercise be concluded before the start of the new financial year (FY 2018/2019). You will hear of other tougher actions in the days to come," he warned.
Uhuru heaped praise on DPP Noordin Haji and his DCI counterpart George Kinoti who have prosecuted some 54 suspects over the Sh468 million National Youth Service scandal.
"The Director of Public Prosecutions, the Police, and other institutions in the multi-agency team against corruption are on the move. They are making decisive steps to build strong cases for the prosecution of corrupt officials.
"I am glad that arrests of senior officials have been made. There are more on the way. I want officials, particularly senior ones, who are directly implicated in corruption to have no place in my administration and for them to go to jail, the President added.
The event which marked 55 years since Kenya got self-rule was presided over by President Uhuru, and various top dignitaries including his Deputy William Ruto, Opposition leader Raila Odinga and other government officials were in attendance.

To avoid the pitfalls of establishing a business, it's best to start your entrepreneurial journey by getting the basics right:
■ The easy, no-fuss sole proprietor and partnership option
The easiest option is, of course, to just start off as a sole proprietor, as you don't need official paperwork. Or if you are joining forces with others, to form a partnership with just a contractual agreement between everyone. With a sole proprietorship and partnership, you remain liable in your personal capacity for the debts of the company and should the business go under, you can literally lose everything.
You are also liable for the business's tax obligations. When this kind of business makes a profit, whether you take this profit for yourself or not, you will personally be taxed as if you are going to line your own pockets with it. This will probably lead to you falling into one of the higher tax brackets."
In partnership, you cannot predict the behaviour of your business partners. They could, through the business, run up enormous debt, which you can be held accountable for.
■ Registering a company – do a private and public companies no longer exist?
Currently, in South Africa, you also have the option of registering a closely held corporation (previously known as a private, (Pty) Ltd, company), or a widely held corporation (previously known as a public company).
When it comes to these company options, you register a separate entity. This means that the company is completely separate from you – and you yourself are not the company, you work for the company as an 'employee', namely a director, who operates affairs on behalf of the business. However, establishing a company means relatively lots of paperwork and 'red tape'. But in most cases, the company is taxed at a fixed rate, which is 28%, plus dividend taxes, if they are paid out (taxed at 20%).
For you personally, the tax is deducted from your salary on an employee basis (PAYE). This is not necessarily a bad thing for you personally, because although you draw your own salary, you can structure it in a way that you receive some tax breaks and benefits if you do it correctly.
■ Registering as a business trust
In comparison to registering a closely or widely held corporation, a trust is taxed at a fixed rate of a whopping 45%. "So suddenly a business trust doesn't sound all that attractive, does it?" states Bekker.
Registering a trust is an incredibly tedious process. When setting up the paperwork, you have to make sure that every small detail in a trust is comprehensively explained and not debatable afterwards, otherwise it can become a nightmare. "It is very important that trust is custom-made for your specific requirements, otherwise it can very quickly turn into a legal nightmare."
■ A small business corporation
Business-owners have the option of registering a small corporation with SARS. "As a small business-owner, you can apply to SARS for this to register as a company (small business corporation), and if you meet certain criteria and terms, you will receive additional tax breaks. This means that you will be only taxed at 7% on your turnover in comparison to the 28% you will be taxed on your profit as a closely held corporation."

Phobos-Grunt Update
On December 8 the head of Russia's Space Research Institute finally sent out a letter that basically declared the Phobos-Grunt mission lost.
This is a big loss for the planetary science community and will probably be very damaging to the Russian space program's funding for science missions.
I was getting ready to completely write off this mission today. However, according to Dr. David Warmflash posting over at Universe Today there is an upcoming orbit during which Phobos-Grunt will be completely in insolation (space speak for being in sunlight). This means the batteries will remain charged and the spacecraft will be fully functional, giving ground controllers more time to try to communicate with the decrepit probe. So I'll wait to hear the results of this last chance. After that I will only follow any more updates with morbid curiosity about where she will crasback to Earth.
Meanwhile, to ease your mourning of Phobos-Grunt, check out these cool pictures taken of her in orbit from the ground.

My black and gold flag is flying and I'm ready for Sunday's Saints-Eagles NFL Playoff game. A cold, Sunday afternoon of football calls for gumbo –a big simmering pot full. But I'm ready to watch football, not cook, so I'm pulling out the crock pot. In my search for 300 gumbo recipes to celebrate New Orleans' 300 years, I've collected half a dozen quick and easy recipes.
New Orleans native, fellow Saints' fan and Colorado resident Karen Veith sent this recipe to add to my 300 collection.
For Christmas, I received two jars of Low Country Gumbo Mix so I made two varieties using it as a the base. It's a strong tomato, roux-less gumbo, but my family liked it for a change. I tweaked the recipes on their website and added nearly a pound each of the sausage and seafood. I needed the gumbo to stretch. For the vegetarian version, I used more tofu than the original recipe called for.
Pete Federovich sent this Emeril Lagasse slow cooker recipe for my collection. These last two are from cookbooks I use frequently, Fix It and Forget It Cookbook and Gwen McKee's Little Gumbo Cookbook, both available on Amazon.

John at Chilmark Research posted a note about the importance of how ONC and HHS define the terms "meaningful use" and "certified EHR." I wanted to echo his comment so here it is:
Note: We can not emphasize enough just how important these two terms (meaningful use & certified EHRs) are to the market. These terms will literally define the HIT market for the next decade and whether you are an HIT vendor or one looking to adopt an HIT solution, having a clear understanding of what these terms mean and their implications will be critical to your success.
Basically, the $36.3 million in EHR stimulus money is dependent on "meaningful use of certified EHRs." That's a lot of money and influence on two terms. I hope as many people as possible will participate in today's HIT policy committee meeting which should work to define "certified EHR."

Steven Patrick Morrissey has become such a crank and a curmudgeon that it's hard to tell when he's being intentionally funny—we know he's capable of being a world-class wit—and when he's just sour and self-absorbed.
Take, for instance, "Spent The Day In Bed," from Morrissey's 11th post-Smiths solo album. The jaunty verse, set to a slightly funky electric-piano track, extols the happy luxury of spending some time in the sack, ending with, "I love my bed/And I recommend that you"—setting us up to expect him to advocate that we do the same. But the tone shifts, and he instead recommends that we "STOP WATCHING THE NEWS!" (all caps courtesy of the lyric sheet) "because the news contrives to frighten you/To make you feel small and alone/To make you feel that your mind isn't your own."
Maybe he's complaining about fake news (opener "My Love, I'd Do Anything For You" deplores "the dead echelon's mainstream media"). Or maybe he's voicing a character (although spending the day in bed seems like a very Moz thing to do). But to ostrich-down on his mattress and blame the media instead of the events in the world seems at best desperately narcissistic and at worst irresponsible.
That personal/political dialectic repeats. A song about the Arab Spring returns to the declaration, "I just want my face in your lap" ("In Your Lap"). Another about how "Presidents come, presidents go/And oooh, the damage they do!" is also about how, as its title says, "all the young people must fall in love." (That one is set to a fun, thumping handclap track.)
The songs range widely over the literal map, from Tel Aviv to Venezuela to Israel. It's an album full of politics, religion and war, and of sex and self-interest. The arrangements range, too, from the sparse and acoustic "I Bury The Living" on one end to the bombastic, orchestral "My Love, I'd Do Anything For You" on the other. Throughout, Morrissey, who's had throat and other health problems in recent years, sings in his inimitable style: commanding and dramatic, nuanced and confident.
Even when you can't quite tell whether you want to laugh with or at Morrissey's heavy-handed proclamations, they're provocative, and that's worth a lot.

Times have changed.
Today, I'm seeing most of the 64 freshmen candidates create Facebook groups and flyers for their campaigns…loaded with photos, qualification and promises. Promises ranging from "stronger water pressure for the shower heads in the quad" to bringing "quality toilet paper to a bathroom near you" to "massueses and free snacks in Houston Hall"! In the microcosm of Penn, these are some of the issues that I'm guessing may resonate with freshmen.. Regardless they all have one thing in common… spirit!
Some marketing tactics I've been noticing for the big 9/24 campus wide vote include "a fact a day" email from one candidate to this forward thinking way of reaching out to students from Jeff Kaplan (C'11).
Click here to watch Jeff Kaplan's campaign video.
Something tells me that there may be more videos to come…
Jeff isn't the only one in student government using video to reach out to the student masses. It seems like videos are also being used by UA chair Jason Karsh (C'08).

Asphalt roof shingles are the most popular and economical sort of residential roofing material. They come in many different colors and styles. They're also fairly durable; lots of asphalt roof shingles currently carry a 130 mph wind rating and come with warranties of up to 50 decades.
Asphalt roof shingles are made from ceramic infused with asphalt. The granules provide shade, UV protection, and algae resistance. They come in many diverse styles, the two most common of these being three-tab and architectural roof shingles.
They typically take a 60 mph wind rating and as much as a 25 year warranty. As a result of horizontal shape of a 3 tab roof shingle and its ability to shed water quickly, 3-tabs are frequently the most acceptable for lower pitched roofs in New York. Architectural roofing shingles also called dimensional, laminated or composite shingles, possess a heavier base mat with several layers of added material. Architectural shingles continue into some 130 mph wind rating as well as 50 year warranties. The two kinds are distinct aesthetically and a great deal of men and women favor the architectural shingles, which also weigh about 50 percent over the 3 tab shingles. This makes them last longer than the three tab type of shingle.
University Neighborhood Roof Repair is a licensed licensed roof shingle applicator to most significant shingle manufacturers.
The top quality of concrete and clay roof tiles is that they endure a couple of nature's toughest weather, such as wind, rain, hail, earthquakes in addition to flame. On most programs, University Neighborhood Roof Repair utilized Polyfoam Adhesive to adhere tile into roof decks. Polyfoam provides the best functionality in hurricanes and adds a level of insulation for energy efficiency.
Since tiles are set up individually, the airspace around them creates natural ventilation which offers a thermal barrier out of heat transfer into the roof deck. This gives energy savings by reducing the peak load demand by various hours, which immediately benefits structures in both cold and hot climates.
Concrete and clay roof tiles are located within an amazingly huge array of finishes and colors, which vary from one color to a matrix of up to five colors. Which vary from flat to barrel-shaped, and offering striking differences in design, concrete tiles can simulate traditional clay tiles, wood shake, slate and rock. A great deal of women and men prefer tile due to its unmatched beauty, versatility and security. Additionally it is extremely economical because of its own lifespan of 50 — 100 decades or longer.
Tile roofs are also simple to fix and require limited maintenance, which is more typically limited to the roof gutters, flashings and ventilation in relation to the tile itself. Furthermore, because concrete and clay tile do not deplete natural resources since they are made from naturally occurring substances, they are prized as green, renewable, and environmentally friendly. Request University Neighborhood Roofing around tile roof for your next roofing project.
One of the fastest growing divisions of the roofing business, metal roofing is growing in popularity everywhere due to its many favorable qualities — it is long lasting, energy efficient, and safer than other types of roofs. This also suggests that in some areas, metal roofing can reduce the homeowner's insurance premiums significantly.
Elegance and beauty are not qualities which people are accustomed to attributing to metal roofs, but during the years, technology has united what's always been exceptional durability with modern elegance and beauty as a result of awesome capacity to replicate such roof styles as Spanish tile, wood shake and slate. Architectural designs have standing seam and stone coated metal roofs.
While the initial investment is greater, metal roofing saves money in the long run. What is more, metal could be made to seem like almost any roof materials. Unlike other forms of roof materials, such as aluminum, asphalt roofing doesn't absorb warmth; it reflects warmth, making it incredibly energy efficient. In addition, metal roofing is very wind resistant, does not crack, peal, break or rust. Metal roof is amazingly lightweight, and does not stain or leak.
There are plenty of myths about metal roofing that will need to be dispelled. By way of instance, metal roofing does not raise the odds of light striking your dwelling. It truly disperses the energy throughout the construction. It is not noisy as it's installed with solid sheathing, which silences rain, hail and other bad weather. The coatings in metal roof stop rusting and take long-term paint colors. Providing a 150 mph wind rating, it won't dent.
Your office is your lifeblood of your business. Occasionally it can be easy to forget about the condition of your company's roof. Over the span of time, your roof requires a beating from University Neighborhood's harsh, cold climate, torrential rain and wind. But whenever your office building's roof is leaking, it may make life miserable for everyone. Employee moral goes down and so does creation, which impacts your bottom line.

A Network-on-Chip Router for Low-Latency and High-Throughput Dimension-Order Routing
MetadataShow full item record
Networks-on-Chip (NoCs) offer a scalable means of on-chip communication for future many-core chips. As NoC size increases with core count in future many-core chips, NoC router efficiency is critical to achieving performance scaling. This thesis explores router microarchitectures which leverage traffic pattern biases and imbalances to reduce latency and improve network throughput. It introduces STORM – Simple Traffic-Optimized Router Microacrchitecture – a new, low-latency, fair, high-throughput NoC router design, customized for the traffic seen in a two-dimensional mesh network employing dimension-order routing. Compared to a baseline NoC router with equivalent buffer resources, STORM offers single cycle operation and reduced cycle time (up to 17% less than the baseline on 45nmCMOS), with less area and power consumption when synthesized at the same clock frequency as the baseline. This design yields a higher overall network saturation throughput (up to 14.6% higher than the baseline) in an 8x8 2D mesh network for uniform random traffic. STORM also reduces packet latencies under realistic workloads by 41% on average.

Agricultural Financing for the Diversification of the Nigerian Economy: The Needful
By Dr. Adofu Ilemona
Uploaded by: Dr. Adofu Ilemona
Share this entry
The study "agricultural financing for the diversification of the Nigerian economy: the needful" shows by a way of robust statistical analysis, the influence of finance in increasing agricultural output in Nigeria. Using data from 1981 to 2015, cointegrating regression (fully modified OLS) was applied to the time series data. The unit root test show that annual rainfall data is stationary at level (I(0)) while data for agricultural credit guaranteed scheme fund, commercial banks' loan to agricultural sector and agricultural output are I(1)). We found that commercial banks loan to agricultural sector and annual rainfall are positively and significantly related to agricultural productivity in Nigeria for the period concerned in this study. Agricultural Scheme Fund is negative but significant in its relation with agricultural output. This might not be unconnected with political ills that impede policy measures in implementing funds allocated for use of the sector which might drive away real targets of such funds. The study therefore recommends that political ills that negatively affect policies should be done away with for policies to have it desired effect.

Getting your life back together after a health problem can be a significant challenge. It can even be challenging to get back into shape if you didn't experience any significant health problems in the last few years. Thankfully, a health coach in Cedar Rapids or Marion, Iowa can help you in many ways. Fully understanding the benefits of these professionals can give you the help needed to overcome this situation.
The toughest part about getting back to health is knowing what is affecting you in the first place. The average person usually doesn't have the necessary skills to understand this aspect and may struggle in many ways. As a result, you may need outside help from someone who fully understands you and your health situation. Thankfully, a health coach can serve this role quite effectively.
For example, these coaches are trained to spot a variety of health problems quite quickly and easily. For example, they can tell if you're out of shape and why you might be short of breath when you work out. Importantly, they can also gauge problems that may occur for other reasons, such as a lack of physical activity and a deficit in certain types of vitamins and nutrients in your body.
With their help, they can give you the necessary insight that you need to understand why you are tired thoroughly, why your mood changes, and other elements that may affect your well being. Focus on overcoming these problems with a professional, and you increase your chances of better health. Just as importantly, you can engage with these experts in a way that makes you feel better about your life.
Your health coach is someone who can take a look at the bigger picture for you and understand why such little steps are so crucial for your overall health. This understanding isn't always easy to gain on your own. Simply put, what your coach asks of you might seem somewhat confusing. For example, they may ask you to take a vacation or stay off your feet for a few days and not exercise.
While you are willing to listen – nobody ever had to tell you twice to take a break – you may not get where this advice originates from in your coach. Well, your coach understands that you are a person like anybody else and that you need to take breaks and relax from time to time. You can't just work consistently, even on exercising, and deserve to rest when necessary to keep yourself healthy.
Leisure, rest, and relaxation are all critical for your well being. In some ways, they are just as important as exercise and diet. As a result, you can expect that your coach will ask you to take it easy at specific points. Listen to what they say: they fully understand the advice that they are giving and provide it for a reason. And this can ensure that you get the best results for your coaching needs.
Your health coach is not a doctor but simply a professional who has years of experience improving people's health with high-quality advice and various routines. As a result, you may not want to listen to what they say or doubt the veracity of their claims. However, coaches work directly with doctors to provide you with the soundest possible advice that you can get from your health.
In fact, when you visit with a coach, the first thing many want you to do is to get a health assessment or a physical from a doctor. Once the doctor has thoroughly examined you and provided the help that you need, your coach receives a report that lets them know what you need for your health. Sometimes, your coach sits down with the doctor and comes up with a plan that will help you become healthier as a person.
So why can't you work directly with your doctor and skip the coach? Your doctor is too busy to perform that kind of duty. They have many other patients and can see you every few months but not as frequently as a coach. As a result, a coach is a lot like a doctor who you get to see everybody, somebody who can remind you of what you have to do to stay healthy and stable in your life.
If you have a hard time staying focused on your health and well being, a coach is often a good idea. A health coach can help you by not only providing the help previously mentioned but by being a high-quality cheerleader for you. While they might not exactly be your friend in the way you might think, they can serve as somebody who has your back even when you feel like quitting.
For example, you can set up daily calls with your coach to get them to check on your progress when you need it. These expert calls can include advice for the day, tips on how to stay focused, and motivational ideas. These calls are entirely up to you and only have to be done if you want. However, they are worth considering if you have a hard time staying active.
Remember: your coach takes your health seriously because your success is also their success. They take their jobs very seriously and strive to achieve positive results with their clients in any way possible. Try to seek out someone whom you trust to always be behind you, someone who you have worked with in the past and who is passionate not just about your health but their career.
If you find that the benefits of the best health coach Cedar Rapids and Marion, Iowa sounds like something that you need to try, please contact us at Team Recharge today to learn more. Our experts have years of experience working with people in your situation and will do what we can to help you manage your health issues. With our help, you can become the healthy person that you deserve to be.
For more information on our Faith-Based Health Coaching programs or our Faith-Based Fitness class, please send us a note.
I joined not knowing what to expect… my time with Recharge has taught me to ALWAYS put God first. I also learned weight loss is not always about the pounds but the weight of your heart and mind. This journey showed me what it means to seek God first in all things. I lost a few pounds but I gained more insight about myself and that is huge for me. I highly recommend this program to anyone seeking a better life.-Karen
In 8 weeks I experienced, for me, an epiphany. I learned I needed more than just a great workout to help my health journey. Jill introduced me to her program and incorporated a healthy way of eating, moving, and praying. I've learned how to include God in my everyday. Jill's kindness and knowledge has taken me to a new path on my wellness journey. I have incorporated new habits into my daily routine that help me be the best me i've ever been. thank you, Jill, you will always be cherished.-Pam
This program has helped give me a renewed peace and perspective on fitness and nutrition. I was one who struggled with an "all or nothing" approach, and through this program I was able to learn that I was lacking God in that area of my life. The program taught me that God does want me to be healthy and whole. Putting God first didn't mean abandoning my health and fitness. I have made some great new friends, I am stronger, have more energy and endurance, and I have a healthier relationship with both food and my workouts. I highly recommend this!-Theresa

The fascinating world of swings
What's so special about a swing, and what influence do swings really have on our life?
People have been asking this and other questions on the topic of "swings" since time immemorial. We know, for example, that a swing bed has a calming effect on babies and rocks them to sleep. We know, too, that children are only too happy to mess about on a swing, and that even grown-ups like to settle down on the famous Hollywood swing and experience a touch of romance.
The precise influence that swinging has on people remains a mystery, and has long been investigated in medical institutions. Foremost among the researchers are the Children clinic Munich (Kinderzentrum München), the Universitätsklinikum Hamburg and the Charité Berlin, where the swing has long been a universal movement device.
What's not in doubt, however, is that the swing has a multitude of applications and that a swinging motion while lying, sitting or standing affects people's wellbeing and psyche.
Swinging and the wellness effect
Swinging has a calming and relaxing effect on body, mind and soul, and word has gotten out, because our swings are in high demand. More than 7,500 models now make their way over the counter each year. On a swing is the perfect place to dream, far away from stress and the hustle and bustle. Modern swings can be used as a hammock or even a rocking chair. Swinging allows you to regain your inner peace. Even kids find ordinary children's swings boring compared to our multi-child swing, because it too is great for lying down and going to sleep on after a busy day. When children spend a few minutes each day swinging, they relax without even noticing it. That's pretty impressive. So swinging has a wellness effect, one that even has a certain background in therapy. Therapy that doesn't hurt, but is one hell of a lot of fun.
Therapy with a children's swing
We now offer a range of swings in different designs and for a variety of functions, both indoors and outdoors. Among these, the children's swing is a unique instrument for supporting children in their first movements. The therapy swing aids in the learning and controlled practice of movement sequences in confined spaces. It's an ideal exercise device for achieving balance while sitting or standing. The type of swing is not just suitable for small children; it also provides very effective support for therapy with disabled children and young people. The platforms offer space for children of different sizes. They are available in both rectangular and square shapes. A little fun on a swing has a major effect.
Swinging together - fun for everyone
Children love swinging together. Our multi-child swings give them an opportunity to do so, providing lots of swinging fun for big and small. Whether indoors or outdoors, our patented swings offer safe swinging fun and are real eye-catchers in any location.

Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay are in the form of their lives in this quietly heartbreaking drama
Charlotte Rampling and Tom Courtenay are in the form of their lives in this quietly heartbreaking drama.
Adapted by director Andrew Haigh from a short story by David Constantine, the film exposes the flaws beneath the tranquil surface of a long marriage with insight and compassion.
Oscar-nominated Rampling and Courtenay's retired couple have been plodding among the lower slopes of old age at their home in the Norfolk Broads, amiably heading for the landmark of their 45th wedding anniversary, when an unexpected letter forces long-buried memories to the surface, revealing the unseen cracks in their relationship a week before their lavishly planned celebration. And, as the date draws nearer, jealousy, resentment and disappointment begin to stir.
Steering well clear of melodrama, Rampling and Courtenay brilliantly convey the roiling emotions and uncertainties of a couple who never expected to find themselves so close to the edge.

My hydrangeas have really exploded with colorful blooms this year. It's no thanks to me, really. I suspect the recent rains helped. Take a look!
My hydrangeas have really exploded with colorful blooms this year. It's no thanks to me, really. I suspect the recent rains helped. Take a look!
You know what they say about a little black dress. Every woman needs one in her closet. But black flowers in your garden? Aren't black blooms usually dead blooms?
Well, no. I recently found a basket of gorgeous, near-black petunias at our local Home Depot, and they were so velvety and unusual, I just had to bring them home. But they aren't completely black. It's hard to find truly black plants, and many are just very deep, dark shades of purple, purple-red, or blue.
I'm telling you, so when you look at the pictures of my petunias, you won't wonder what I'm talking about. That's because my "black" petunias, when photographed in the sunlight, look purple. But when the light is right, they're dusky and mysterious and beautifully, velvet-black. Each bloom has a pale yellow star in its throat.
I don't know the variety name, or I'd share it. It's possible that mine are 'Pinstripe' petunias; click here to see for yourself. I don't think I have 'Phantom,' which is sold by other seed sellers and garden centers, because the yellow markings look too wide. But I bet if you look around, you can find something similar.
If a dip into the world of inky plants makes you yearn for more, check out a book called Black Plants: 75 Striking Choices for the Garden, by Paul Bonine (Timber Press). The author covers black pansies, lilies, agapanthus, hollyhocks (like the 'Black Watchman' heirloom hollyhocks in my gardening book), and more, all of which might persuade you that black is the new green.
I'm not ready to convert my garden, with its springlike palette of pale blues, yellows, pinks, and rose-red, to all-black, but it's fun to try something really different–and you know how we gardeners are. We always want someone to visit and ask, "Where did you get that?"
Update: Thanks to Gary, at PlantCareToday.com, who wrote to tell me that King George III sent Napoleon Bonaparte's brother, Joseph, to explore Argentina. While he was there, he collected samples that were used later to confirm that petunias and tobacco are related. Learn more about petunia care here.
Today I'm sharing a post I wrote for HGTV.com about transforming an ordinary garden shed into –well, whatever you like. Turn it into a she-shed, a yoga studio, a place to paint or just a personal escape. Click here the to explore all the possibilities.
Did you know that nasturtium blossoms once sparkled with lights?
Want to grow a tomato that's so delicious and prolific, it helped a farmer pay off his mortgage?
Join me at the Smyrna Library on Monday, April 25, and I'll spin some stories about old-fashioned, heirloom flowers and veggies. I'll tell you why today's gardeners still grow these "antique" varieties, and where to find them (hint: the big garden centers don't usually sell them).
My talk starts at 6:30 p.m., and admission is FREE. Check out this link for more info. See you there!
The 2016 Old Farmer's Almanac Garden Guide is out! There are articles on making the most of a small garden space, and another on how to landscape when water is scarce.
I wrote two of this year's stories: one on heirloom flowers, and one on garden trends.
One trend won't surprise most gardeners, because it's ongoing. Our bees are in trouble. Their populations have been declining for years because of disease, parasitic mites, overuse of pesticides, and other issues.
Now gardeners are actively trying to help them, says Jeanine Standard, a spokesperson for Proven Winners. We're using fewer chemicals in our yards and planting more flowers, shrubs, and other plants they can use for food and shelter.
Another trend: gardeners want to replace the impatiens they've been growing in shady spots, since the plants are still dying from powdery mildew. Standard recommends using caladiums and Browallias, although she says she thinks impatiens will make a comeback, since developers are working on their genetics.
As for trendy edibles, look for 'Suntava Full Season Purple' corn, available from W. Atlee Burpee & Co. It's a stunning variety that's purple from cob to husk to stalk. Burpee's is also offering 'Meatball,' an eggplant that makes a great meat substitute in your recipes. I've tried them, and they're delicious. The fruits are heavy, firm and sweet tasting.
Read about more new varieties in the issue–it's on newsstands now.
It's gray and overcast here today, although the recent warm temperatures are giving me spring fever. In the Atlanta area, we could hit 75 degrees in February, plunge back to freezing a week later, and have daffodils in bloom a few days after that. Since I'm getting tired of the bare landscape, I dug out some pictures from last April, when I visited Alabama's Bellingrath Gardens and Home. It was cloudy then, too, but azaleas and lots of other plants were starting to blossom.
Some azaleas had already hit their peak. Their fallen petals look like confetti on the path.
Bellingrath is a 65-acre Southern estate that opened to the public in 1932. It's been drawing visitors ever since, and this Gulf Coast icon is a popular place for weddings and other events.
The water looks so cold, doesn't it?
Purple, yellow, and lavender pansies and violas perked up this woodland scene.
Love this froggy fountain.
Stunning orchids were blooming inside a Bellingrath greenhouse.
Angel's trumpets perfumed the air that day.
I was on a group tour, but I wish I'd had time to just sit and enjoy this beautiful, peaceful scene.
Sigh….pictures like these will have to do for a little while longer, but spring isn't far away.
No need for many words today, when the trees are turning such brilliant fall colors.
Don't rake your leaves and burn them–that's such a waste. Pile them in an out-of-the way spot and turn them occasionally to help them decompose. They'll make good mulch later. Or save a handful and dip them in melted wax. String them with a needle and invisible thread, and hang them in a window to enjoy. Your leaves will last for many weeks!
I just got back from Burpee Fest 2015–and it was awesome. I was invited as part of a group of garden writers, photographers, and chefs who toured Burpee's historic Fordhook Farm, in Doyleston, PA.
One of the highlights of the visit was getting to sample Burpee's fresh fruits and veggies. George Ball, Burpee's owner and CEO, told us about a new eggplant, 'Meatball,' that's coming out in 2016. (You heard it here first–it's not even on their website yet.) He says it's going to revolutionize the way we eat, because it's a delicious, nutritious substitute for meats.
After the tour, we sat down to a lunch prepared with foods harvested from the farm. Take a look at my plate, below, and you'll see 'Meatball' made into a meatloaf/meatball dish topped with marinara sauce. I will definitely make this at home, once I get my hands on the seeds.
The other delish foods on my plate were fresh from Burpee's organic gardens, too. You'll see stuffed yellow peppers, sliced orange tomatoes, and a tasty relish made with purple onions. Later, we snacked on slices of cold watermelon, cantaloupe, and the biggest, sweetest blackberries I've ever eaten.
That afternoon, we had time to roam around Burpee's flower gardens. Check out these rudbeckias:
Butterflies and bees floated around Burpee's "Happiness Garden" (the bees didn't bother us at all. They were too busy enjoying the flowers.) Bees and other pollinators are disappearing at an alarming rate, putting our food supply in jeopardy and upsetting the delicate environmental balance. To help reverse this scary trend, Burpee partnered with the White House to give away over a million packets of butterfly and bee-friendly seeds. You can help spread the buzz, too, by planting flowers like the ones below:
And of course, a butterfly garden needs butterfly bushes.
Moving along to the kitchen garden at Fordhook, here's a sneak-peek of a new tomato that Burpee hasn't named yet. Watch for it in 2016, too.
Don't forget to order your seeds for next spring early, as soon as seed catalogs start arriving in the mail. Popular varieties sell out fast!
Don't you love a reunion? It's a chance to see old friends, catch up on what everyone's been doing, and share great food and and stories. I'm excited that I've been invited to P. Allen Smith's upcoming Garden 2 Blog event, a reunion of garden bloggers from around the country.
Each year, Allen hosts this get-together at his beautiful home in Little Rock, Arkansas. Sponsors like Bonnie Plants and Jobe's Organics will be there, leading workshops on new plants and garden products.
When we get home, we'll share what we've learned, because that's what garden bloggers do: we lean over the back fence—although it's a "virtual fence" these days–and tell our friends how to banish Japanese beetles, harvest bigger, tastier tomatoes and train wayward roses on trellises.
In the meantime, please check out my gardening articles on HGTVGardens.com, where I'm a regular contributor.

How'd like to pay off your mortgage by selling tomatoes?
"Radiator Charlie," a West Virginia radiator repairman, did it. During the Great Depression, he developed a delicious tomato that he dubbed the 'Mortgage Lifter,' because he sold enough plant starts–at $1 each–to pay off the $6,000 mortgage on his farm.
Not many of us can settle our debts like that anymore, but we can still grow Charlie's tomato. It's now considered an heirloom, and like most old-timey vegetables and fruits, it's packed with great flavor and has lots of desirable growing characteristics, like the ability to resist many pests and diseases.
Planet Natural has a great video about the charms of heirlooms that you can view here. And thanks, PN, for recommending my book, Gardening with Heirloom Seeds, in an online article about these plants.

It's been a few months since we've heard from Sidibe when she released the single "What Should One Do" back in May. The sweet kiss-off was right on time for anyone who needed a nudge to kick a going-nowhere relationship to the curb right before summer. While Sidibe was enjoying the season's warm weather and her freedom, she decided to film a music video for the song and she's presenting it to everyone is a SoulBounce exclusive world premiere.
Directed by Nelly Zagury and produced by Sidibe herself, the "What Should One Do" visual is as sexy, light and lush as the song itself. Our leading lady is the center of attention as she fronts her band and sways to the music in a room decorated in vibrant hues. The Afro-Latin elements of the track are also translated into the clip's semi-tropical setting. In one scene, we see Sidibe surrounded by flowers and plants and joined by an exotic bird perched on her shoulder. She gives her feathery friend a rolled-up note that simply reads "What Should One Do?" and sends the cockatoo on its way. We later see the bird deliver the message to the object of Sidibe's one-time affection, and he realizes that it's a wrap.
While conceptualizing the music video, Sidibe and Zagury were inspired by divine feminine energy and a classic film. "Black Orpheus was also an inspiration. The video incorporates elements of surrealism and magic just as Black Orpheus does," she shared with us before revealing more about its symbolism. "Magical items hinting at mysticism decorate my love goddess temple and there's a cockatoo that delivers a letter to my disappointed lover. Not only is the cockatoo my magic muse, he represents my liberation as well."
Get lost in Sidibe's world in the gorgeous music video for "What Should One Do" right here and stay tuned for more from her in the coming weeks and months. She gave us the scoop that one of her new songs was selected for Sanaa Lathan's forthcoming film Nappily Ever After, which premieres on Netflix in September. We were already looking forward to the movie, but now we're really excited for Sidibe's inclusion on the soundtrack and witnessing more of her glow up.

Paramountessays.com is certainly one of the on-line professional writing businesses on the web essay writing services area. The writing business Paramountessays.com was created on 2005 and they supplies writing helps in various academic papers for his or her customers. Therefore they can complete any kind of academic assignments and editing service for academic students whole around the globe. They offered distinct writing of essays, dissertations, book reports, term papers, research papers, course work, case study, thesis paper etc. In addition they claim that they offer Money-back and Confidentiality guarantees and also 100% Original & Plagiarism free work. But lack of consistency is certainly one of the big drawbacks of this writing business.
Researchpaperz.net is a specialized professional research paper writing service. The writing business Researchpaperz.net was created on 2007. The writing business Researchpaperz.net maintains they possess a team of experienced UK and US writers. Therefore, they could provide excellent quality works for his or her customers in your deadlines. The business promises good customer support available 24/7 and also direct contact with the allotted writer. But depending on the client comments, they filed with several adverse remarks. Many customers disappointed with their poor quality writings and unaffordable price. Chiefly their pricing system is not user friendly and so that they could not compute the price of the papers and the service demands enormous number for his or her work.
While comparing with Paramountessays.com and Researchpaperz.net, both are good on-line writing business, but both of them failed to provide a few important service for the customers like free drafts, price calculator and plagiarism checking software etc. From your customer experiences collected, its clear that they frequently fails to meet them by supplying the things they anticipate. Additionally their high paper price is not affordable for academic students. These all shows that the encounter is just the means of service provide is must for an online service.

Voice of America's Steve Herman in Tokyo: "Fresh revelations about radiation contamination from the operator of the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant and a government regulator are prompting new concerns in Japan. What is expected to be a decades-long battle to halt radiation leaks and to clean up contaminated soil and water at the Fukushima-1… READ THE REST
Anyone find the sources for this article? It fails to mention where they are getting info about radiation increases. I'd like to know if this rumor is true not, and I've never head of "Voice of America."
Steve Herman has been doing excellent reporting from Japan since the disaster happened (actually, long before). I know it's easier to just slam the VOA then, say, actually looking in to the story yourself with a little Googling. But he's a strong reporter, and there are strong sources for the claims in the piece.
No slam intended; VOA is simply a total unknown to me so it's hard for me to judge their veracity. Steve Herman is also unknown to me; I'll look into his prior work.
I did a little Googling and was unable to find either an original source for the claims or failing that a known, reputable media source making the same claim.
Edit: I did find a similar article, but with much greater detail, at the Wall Street Journal: http://stream.wsj.com/story/latest-headlines/SS-2-63399/SS-2-273766/
I really hate the continuance of this problem for Japan, it obviously sucks for the residents, but it has such huge implications on the overall acceptance of nuclear energy — which really, when harnessed and safeguarded properly, is our best option at the moment.
You must be a young fella! VOA was a staple of Cold War propaganda, broadcasting Uncle Sam's views over the Iron Curtain. It's even on wikipedia! How quickly people forget their past…
We can all rest easier knowing that the Japanese government acted swiftly to prevent contamination of their country by a fraction of an ounce of GMO wheat.

text: 2017 has been a very quiet year for Lily Allen as she's been hiding in the studio working on her forthcoming fourth studio album. Her last record "Sheezus" was a very underrated affair of ridiculous pop moments and raw vulnerability but none of the songs really translated into a mainstream hit unlike her previous records. As she prepares for the new album which is slated for a 2018 release one of the new songs has been leaked and in classic Lily Allen style she doesn't give a fuck and has decided to immediately release it. "Trigger Bang" is collaboration between her and London rapper Giggs and it musically throws it back to her early days with a simple hip-hop meets indie-pop beat. The song doesn't really need the rap at the beginning because it just throws off the flow immediately and would've fitted better towards the end of the song or not at all. She reflects on her old life and cutting toxic people out in her life who were just using her or encouraging her into a bad lifestyle. "That's why I can't hang with the cool gang. Everyone's a trigger bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Goodbye bad bones, I've got bigger plans. Don't wanna put myself in your hands". It's delivered in classic Lily Allen style with her quick whit and melodic vocals that you don't ever expect to work so well but does. When you take away the rap this song is actually really catchy and has a bad ass vibe to it. It's a great New Years resolution song to say goodbye to all the toxic people that you want gone. It's not a hit nor is it going to make a massive impact but it's a good song for the meanwhile until she releases the official lead single.

Waterford's injury crisis has deepened with the news that three more stars are facing spells on the sidelines.
Last year's All-Ireland runners-up have confirmed that Tadhg de Burca and Barry Coughlan have been ruled out of action for a number of months, while Darragh Fives will miss the rest of the Munster Championship.
All three were injured in Sunday's nine point defeat to Clare in Ennis.
De Burca broke his collar bone in the Clare clash while Coughlan suffered three broken bones in his hand.
Fives is said to have suffered a calf injury which will further hamper the Déise's plans.
Noel Connors and Maurice Shanahan suffered back and groin problem, but will be assessed in the coming days in the hope that they will be fit to face Tipperary this weekend.
Manager Derek McGrath will be hoping that Austin Gleeson and Pauric Mahony also recover.

Five Top Tips For Succeeding With Online Dating
We all know that online dating can be a minefield, and it's hard to know where to get started sometimes. We hope to give you a few simple pointers here, in order to get you started off in the right direction.....
1. Find Common Ground
|Try to Meet Someone You Get Along With!
There are all kinds of people out there, but if you spend all your time chasing after people with whom you have little in common, you're not going to have much fun, and you may struggle to get far. Yes, supermodels look great, but they may also spend all their time worrying about their hair, clothes and makeup. Similarly, macho guys make look great and built, but they'll spend more time worrying about protein shakes and going to the gym, than you. If those people are on your wavelength, then go after them, but it's best to find someone you're compatible with, not the person with the biggest muscles, wallet, or the prettiest face.
2. Being Picky Can Be Lonely!
You may have a long list of dos and don'ts for your future partner. From their hair colour, height, income down to their job and location, you might prefer things about them to be a certain way. But if you go into the whole process with these in the forefront of your mind, you're going to struggle to fulfil and meet them. It's much better to concentrate on having a good time and getting on the same wavelength as someone. If you enjoy their sense of humour, outlook, and company, you'll go a lot further than comparing them to an imaginary checklist,
|Enjoy yourself, but try to keep your profile truthful!
Yes, it would be nice to have the muscles and jawline of Chris Hemsworth, but if you have the muscles and physique of Mr Bean, then you'll have to make the best of that instead. Pretending to be well off when you're strugglingly to scrape together money for bus fare will similarly be found out, so it's best to stick to the truth. Obviously, put yourself in a positive light, but it is in the end it has to be rooted in the truth.
4. Splash The Cash
Don't be afraid to pay for upgrading and going to a paid site. There is an incredible amount of choice online these days, but it does determine the kinds of people who use a site. Free sites will attract people who are less serious about the dating experience, create fake profiles, and so on. By paying, you ensure a certain quality of user, and that your particular type of dating is catered for. "niche" dating is all the rage, and a general dating site may not suit your needs.
|Ask For What You Want
5. Be Clear About What You Want
We have said that being picky is not desirable, but if you really do have a deal-breaker (not 50, obviously), then go ahead and make that clear. Some people are insistent that their partner doesn't have kids. Others may prefer that their date does have children, so they understand. Some people like smokers, and others may resent having to stand outside bars while their date goes for a cigarette break. When you really do have an issue with something, then make it clear.
