The strongest element is the set design by Block9; it's a naturalistic street that looks as if it's been hit by an earthquake. Through broken walls, you can see mangled interiors, including a wrecked bathroom. The street is still open for business, with flashing neon signs, traffic lights and trashed cars.
The routines make no real use of this set, even for atmosphere. Instead, the cast scamper about being tutu-clad vampires. Cabaret singer Le Gateau Chocolat booms through Queen numbers, dressed in a white tulle puffball and glittery lipstick. He's surrounded by a fright-wigged corps, who point and coo and simulate sex.
Most of these performances lack swagger. Le Gateau Chocolat and singer/aerialist Fanny Chance are short on finesse, but at least they have strong personalities. The vampires pretend to be dangerous, biting at each other with big, unfocused gestures.
In all this posing, there's a surprising lack of circus excitement. The vampires descend on bungee cords and trapezes. In the air, they do little more than swoop about, pointing at the audience.
On the cabaret side, Le Gateau Chocolat and Fanny Chance swipe and argue between songs. Their quarrel has a few edged insults, and a good moment when she takes one of his jibes as a serious sexual proposition.
Most of the show is posing and lip-synching, though. At least the cheesiness of the finale seems to be deliberate. Le Gateau Chocolat squeezes his large form into a purple catsuit to sing Prince's "Purple Rain". The rest of the cast evoke poodle-haired heavy metal, complete with guitars firing sparks and light-up codpieces. Trash City wants to be wild, but at heart it's a weak 1980s tribute act.
Circusfest continues until 16 May (0844 482 8008)

Why I Changed The Colour Of My Son's Hair – Olamide
It took most fans by surprise when popular musician 'Olamide Badoo' decided to dye the hair of his one-year-old son Batifeori Maximiliano Adedeji.
When the pictures of Olamide and his son rocking matching hair styles hit the internet, most of his followers felt the one-year-old boy was too young for such eccentricities.
However, Olamide in a recent interview with a renowned radio station, has given a main reason why he dyed his son's hair.
Read what he said below…
"Dyeing my son's hair was deliberate. We are just jumping on this twinning trend. I'm doing my best to raise my son in the right way. I try as much as I can to spend time with him and make sure I'm part of his day to day growth."
The YBNL CEO who wants to be remembered as "a symbol of hope for the streets." also went on to reveal that he and his protege Lil Kesh are still on good terms even though he is no longer signed to the label.

There's no man Mariah Carey can't serenade, or at least attempt to serenade, during a concert.
Sign Up For Our Newsletter!
The singer who has a residency at Caesar's Palace Las Vegas, took to the stage Saturday night to sing to Martin Lawrence. And it was the most awkward thing ever.
After introducing him to the audience, she had the comedian lie on a bed. The Grammy Award-winner then blindfolds him and runs a feather down his chest, while singing "Touch My Body".
All in good fun, the pair were incredibly respectful of each other during the whole thing— which felt a bit forced.
This fall, MC will be a guest star on Fox's Empire series. In the official trailer video, the singer is seen recording with Jussie Smollett, which ties into his plot line. Fans of the show and Mariah will be over-the-moon according to those close to the show.
On a sad note, the 46-year-old's sister, Alison A. Carey was recently arrested for soliciting money in exchange for sexual favors from an undercover police officer posing as a client. According to New York Upstate News, Alison used lyrics from Carey's 1995 hit "Fantasy" in her online solicitation.

Did you know that your gut is filled with a complex network of living microorganisms including bacteria and fungus? That's right, as you're reading this your gut is crawling with thousands of little critters, but while that might sound like the beginning of a horror film, it's a good thing. As humans (and most mammals) evolved, we formed symbiotic relationships with gut bacteria that aided our digestion and enabled us to eat the wide and varying diets that we do. By the time you're two years old, your gut is fully formed and seeded with good bacteria that ferment dietary fiber, support the immune system, inhibit the effect of pathogens on the body, synthesize vitamins, and metabolize most of what we eat. But what happens when the environment in our gut shifts and leads way to an overgrowth of bad bacteria? Read More
FREE Informational Guides on How Your DNA Influences Healthy Aging & Your Ability to Lose Weight.
Did you know your genes determine if your body is resistant to losing weight? Genetic predisposition also plays a roll in how our bodies show signs of aging. Enter your email address below to receive our free instructional guides. Learn 7 ways your DNA influences your ability to lose weight, process carbohydrates in your diet, effectively absorb folate, and more!
When you wake up in the morning, what's your go to meal? Maybe a bowl of multigrain cereal with 2% milk, maybe a small bowl of strawberry yogurt with some pieces of fruit. Maybe you're more traditional and prefer pancakes with syrup, bacon, eggs, the whole shebang. Or maybe you're one of those people who runs out the door with their vanilla latter or coffee with cream and sugar. No matter your eating habits, odds are you're starting off your day with way more sugar than you even realized. In fact, your entire diet likely consists of hidden processed and refined sugars and could be what's keeping you from feeling energized, losing those few stubborn pounds, or even causing more serious health concerns.

Whether you like it or not, working out is a great thing. It's a way to get your body moving, your blood pumping and your heart racing. Sometimes getting started on a consistent work out schedule can be a miserable experience, but that's only because your body is still adjusting to that much activity. So let's talk about what working out really is, all the different reasons you should be doing it, and all the benefits of being active. Read More
If you've been following our blog, or our products for that matter, then you know that our individual genetics have an effect on how our bodies process food and nutrients, as well as how well it will react to exercise. We also know that if we know how our bodies react to food and exercise, then we can leverage that information to get the most out our bodies. The same goes with how we age. We can now leverage our genetic information to slow down the effects of aging.
At this point, you may be asking yourself: "How is that even possible?"
Not only is it possible, but the process for combating the effects of genetic aging is a simple one: locate your weak points and target them. The first step to figuring out your weak points is knowing where they might be. With GxRenew, we give you insight into those weak points and provide the tools to potentially improve your personal aging process. Read More
Metabolism. Chances are you've heard this word and understand it to be related to how efficiently your body processes food and energy, which is true. High metabolism means you will burn more energy and probably store less fat, and a low metabolism means you will burn less energy and might be susceptible to weight gain.
Did you know that your daily behavior and lifestyle have significant effects on your metabolism?
Here are 7 quick and easy tips to boost your metabolism:
- Eat breakfast! You know how people say breakfast is the most important meal of the day? That's because if you don't eat in the morning, your body thinks that food is scarce for the day so it holds back your metabolism and energy expenditures so you don't waste too many calories. Eating a breakfast at the start of your day tells your body that more food is coming so it starts burning calories at full capacity.
- Work out before your breakfast! If you wake up and go straight for a walk or run, you are going to be burning calories from whatever is left in your stomach, which shouldn't be much after sleeping, and then move onto your energy stored in your body. If you wait until after your breakfast, then you will mostly be burning off just the food in your stomach. Even doing a few sets of pushups or air squats before you eat can help.
- More muscles = higher metabolism! Not only that, but high intensity interval training (aka, "HIIT") will provide you with an additional boost on your metabolism for the 24-48 hours following your workout session. Ample protein is necessary building muscle, so make sure you have plenty of protein in your diet.
- Drink lots of water! Not only is water essential to a healthy body, but it also takes energy to digest it. Drinking water as soon as you wake up can also help jump-start your metabolism. Try keeping water on your nightstand for the morning.
- Get your omega 3's! Omega 3, typically found in fish oil, improves your cardiovascular efficiency and will result in a more balanced metabolism. Try to get at least 1000mg per day. Flaxseed oil is also another good source of omega 3.
- Eat healthier! Whole foods with pesticides and preservatives will interfere with your thyroid, preventing your metabolism from running at full speed after eating. In addition to having zero nutritional benefit, refined sugars will trigger insulin spiking and make you feel sluggish, working against an active lifestyle.
- Be more active! Being active, even with little things, will not only burn more calories during that activity but also temporarily give you a slight increase in metabolism. Adopting a more active lifestyle can collectively add up to as much activity as a daily workout! There are plenty of ways to work this into your day, and you can always kick it up a notch if you are already doing these things and want to see improved results:
- Take the stairs.
- Use a small glass of water at your desk so you have to keep getting up to refill it.
- Walk to get food or run an errand instead of driving.
- Park further away so it forces you to walk a little more.
- Play golf? Walk instead of riding the cart.
When people hear about our programs, the first thing they want to know is how they work. We always explain the process, but sometimes it's better to hear about a real experience from someone that doesn't work for the company that makes the product. So I'd like to share the experience of Hannah Wallace, from Sarasota Magazine, with GxSlim, which she documented in the magazine's "I was a human guinea pig" segment in June of last year.
Hannah had her GxSlim test performed at ARCpoint Labs, an affiliate partner with Genetic Direction located in Sarasota, Florida. In case you are not aware, you can purchase our tests directly from us via our website, or from a local affiliate (physician, dietitian, etc.), with the added benefit of the affiliate providing in-person coaching on diet and exercise recommendations.
After an anxious two weeks, Hannah received her results. She was a little taken aback by some of the report's findings, but was provided clarity and reassurance once she spoke to a health professional, which she described as "arguably the most important part of this process". Once Hannah and her health professional coach were able to customize a weight loss routine based on her genetics, she was off to the races. While some of the results may not be what a person hopes for (we can't all have super high metabolism), some of the truth of your genes can actually be refreshingly good news. For Hannah, her good news came in the form of her fat loss response to cardio being low. She could now enjoy long walks and light jogs, which she used to think weren't helping her, because they are the key to her losing weight from cardio. Once you know this about yourself, like Hannah, you can adjust your expectations and avoid being discouraged when you don't reach potentially unrealistic results. Most importantly, you can modify your diet and exercise programs to take full advantage of your new-found knowledge of your genetics and see better results from your efforts.
"Now I don't look for instantaneous weight loss. I know I have to be patient, and I know it's not my fault—it's my genes." —Hannah Wallace
Thank you,
Genetic testing has become drastically more accessible to the general public over the last few years. Some of these tests have been around for some time but are only now available for reasonable prices due to advances in the testing process and technology. So now that we can easily take these tests, should we make them a part of our standard physical exam?
First lets look at the different benefits to be gained from genetic testing and what genetic testing can tell us about ourselves.
Genetic Diseases
There are many diseases that we inherit genetically from our parents and their ancestors. Many diseases don't show strong signs until a person has had them for some time. Knowing that you have a good chance of having one of these diseases in the future is great information to have ahead of time so that you can potentially find and treat them before things become too severe. Some of these diseases include cancer, Celiac disease, age-related macular degeneration, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, psoriasis, and many more.
Recessive Disorders Passed Through Pregnancy
As just mentioned, parents can pass along predisposition to hereditary genetic diseases to their children, and these diseases may or may not materialize. With genetic testing, both parents can be tested prior to a pregnancy to find out whether or not their children are at risk for certain diseases. Most of the time, these "recessive disorders" need to be passed down by both parents for the child to be affected, but even with both parents passing down the same gene, there is still only a 25% chance that the child will actually have the disease. Knowing this information prior to having a baby can be very helpful for knowing what to watch out for with your child. You may be able to find a life changing disease before it has a significant effect on your child's life.
Self Improvement and Increased Efficiency
Some of the more recent testing programs provide reporting about how our bodies process food, perform during exercise, and even age – introspective information about how our bodies work that can make our lives much easier. A lot of people aren't the biggest fans of working out, so wouldn't it make sense to do it as efficiently possible and get the most out of it? It can also be fairly discouraging to keep working hard but never see any significant results, which easily happens if you are working against your genetics. We have programs for both healthy weight loss and healthy aging. Our healthy aging program, which is available for pre-order, will tell you how to slow down the negative effects of aging.
Soon, you may even be able take physical performance one step further and attempt to reach your ultimate genetic potential. We are currently working on a program for this, as well.
Medication Sensitivity (VERY IMPORTANT!)
Knowing what diseases to look out for could save your life, but knowing which medicines people are sensitive to will save thousands of lives annually. Medications don't always work for everyone, and that can mean big trouble if you are depending on that medication to survive. Adverse drug reactions are the 4th leading cause of death in the US, according to Rxight, claiming more than 100,000 lives each year. Rxight (don't ask me how to pronounce that) makes a test that measures drug sensitivity based on your genetic makeup. I actually insist that this become a common test. It's a no brainer, and should be a part of our Electronic Medical Records.
For Fun!
Genetic tests can tell you more about your heritage and where your bloodline comes from. This isn't really helpful for your health, but it is interesting.
So in summary, genetic testing can tell us what diseases we and our kids might develop, how to get the most out of our bodies, how to fight the effects of aging, how to know which medicines do or don't work on our bodies, and the ancestry of our blood lines. If the goal of a physical is to check your overall health and make sure you don't have any medical problems you are unaware of (which it is), then it seems pretty obvious that the advantages of genetic testing will only enhance the goal of a physical and end up saving lives.
Yours in Good Health,
In the last post, I talked about self-control, denial, and my "slight" sweet tooth, so I thought it would be good to follow up with a discussion about how sugar affects the body. Spoiler alert: it's all bad.
There isn't a single good thing that sugar does for you:
- It has zero nutrition value whatsoever. It actually works very strongly against you since it triggers insulin spiking, typically resulting in more body fat.
- "Sugar makes kids go crazy!" – FALSE. While sugar can be burned in the body as fuel, it provides no boost in energy and actually slows you down due to the insulin spiking. Kids are just crazy already.
- Sugar is VERY addicting and doesn't fight hunger at all, leaving you very susceptible to over eating. This just compounds the effects of its empty calories. In fact, it can take up to a couple of weeks just to get the sugar cravings out of your system, and those cravings can be strong. Like "cigarettes" strong, and eating or smoking to relieve a craving is sort of like tying your shoes REALLY tight so that you can feel the brief relief from untying them later. You're doing it to yourself.
- It can really mess up your skin in the short term, and even cause long term damage if you don't get it under control in time (I'll go into that more in a minute).
All in all, it does NOTHING good for you internally, and, in case you didn't know it, your skin is basically a billboard for your internal health, advertising what's going on in the inside.
Back to your skin… Two of the proteins in your skin are collagen and elastin, which are responsible for keeping your skin nice and young, both in structure and appearance. When you have extra sugar in your blood stream, it attaches to proteins in a process called glycation, which produces advanced glycation end products (aka AGEs). Guess which proteins are glycation's favorite: collagen and elastin. AGEs then cause your skin to become thin, rigid and discolored, which leads to wrinkling and sagging, as well as deactivating the natural antioxidants in your body that protect your skin from sun damage. If you aren't seeing the results now, you will by your thirties, which is when they typically start to show, according to most studies.
So what can you do?
- First off, cut back on foods with sugar in them! It's surprising how many things have high sugar content, but eating natural foods is easier than ever now that eating healthy is becoming more popular.
- Avoid condiments and drinks with a lot of sugar: soft drinks, heavy coffees, margaritas 🙁 , ketchup, and barbecue sauce. Even most diet soft drinks still trigger insulin spiking, so you should honestly avoid those too. (Healthy Condiment Alternatives)
- Exercise! You can burn off that extra sugar in your blood by staying active.
- Foods with natural sugars in them – fruits, vegetables, etc. – are great in the right proportions. If you don't over eat them, you should be fine.
- In regard to dessert, eating ice cream or cake right before you go to bed basically guarantees that you're going gain body fat while you sleep because it has no chance of being completely burned off in time.
- And if you're really worried about your skin, you may want to look into changing up your sunscreen regimen as well.
Plus, you could always go cold turkey on sweets until it's out of your system. If the withdrawals seem like they'll be too much then find a buddy. Suffering is always better when with a partner!
There's a lot of information about sugar and its effects available out there, so look around if you are curious. This is another good video we found that explains how sugar became so popular and some of its other negative effects.
In Good Health,
…or at least reduces it.
I have a pretty big sweet tooth and used to eat a lot of candy. I mean a LOT of candy, like so much I'm honestly surprised I don't have diabetes yet. For context, on my first birthday of my fiancée and I being together, she thoughtfully bought me a whole grocery bag full of my favorite candies. Easily the most candy I've ever had in my possession at once. While she innocently assumed that it would last me months, we were both surprised to see it gone within a couple weeks.
The actual candy from my birthday…
Why did I do this to myself? Part of it was that I was weak and had poor self-control when it comes to candy and the biggest reason for this was that I kept telling myself that I had a great metabolism and could eat all the candy I wanted without gaining weight. I kept telling myself that as a justification to my weak behavior and since I was never really that out of shape there was nothing telling me otherwise. So I kept drinking my own cool-aid.
But then I was tested, for genetics not diabetes, and I could no longer lie to myself about what my body could handle. In fact, after taking GxSlim I learned that I have a high metabolism for all carbs EXCEPT for sugar. The only reason I wasn't ballooning up from all the candy was because of how much I lifted weights. I know that because GxSlim also told me that I have enhanced anaerobic training response, which means that I will increase my metabolism and burn a lot of fat very effectively by lifting weights often. If I hadn't been eating so much candy I would have been in a lot better shape, and on the flip side, if I hadn't been working out some much I would have done some serious damage to my body.
Today I barely eat any candy or sweets and my body has become a lot leaner and I feel better as a result, although I never turn down the free lollipops at the rapid lube I take my car to. I still think about buying sweets when I see them at the store or on the dessert menu at a restaurant, but thanks to the undeniable results of my genetics test and how great I feel without all the sugar in my system, the craving just isn't there anymore.
The term "hack" or "hacking" is somewhat misunderstood. Thanks to pop culture influence from movies and television shows, a lot of people seem to think that hacking is about breaking into a computer system to steal something or plant a virus. Really, when most people today refer to hacking, especially people in the tech industry, they are talking about using existing systems to get a desired result or to simply build something new using existing materials. There's even this great thing called LIFE HACKS that are neat little short cuts to help you in your daily life. If you haven't heard of them, I highly recommend you check some out. They could change your life.
My favorite Life Hack for figuring out what clothes I can get rid of…
In the same way that life hacks can help your life stay organized and efficient, we can now use genetics to hack our bodies to achieve the best health results. Every single person has a different genetic makeup, and depending on their genome, will react to exercise and nutrition differently. Some people can burn fat just by lifting weights, some by running everyday, and others by doing sprints a couple of times a week. Some people can eat a lot of carbs and not gain fat, others can't. The key is to figure out what your genetic makeup is and follow a routine that works best for your body.
Now the key is to figure out how YOUR unique body works. You can, of course, track your body composition for months, or years, while you use a trial and error process to evaluate different workouts and diets, OR you can purchase GxSlim from Genetic Direction. GxSlim uses a simple home test kit that requires a quick swab of the inside of your mouth to get all the genetic material the test needs. Order the kit online, follow the simple instructions, drop it back in the mail, and then a couple of weeks later you will get online access to your comprehensive, personalized report. The report does a great job of simplifying such a complex sounding concept, and GxSlim also includes "telehealth" sessions with a dietician/health coach who will explain exactly what everything means and tell you exactly what you should eat and how you should exercise in order for you body to get lean and healthy.
Sample of the report summary page
GxSlim also includes other resources through the online portal, such as articles, videos, recipes, custom diets and exercise routines tailored for your unique genome. PLUS, if you are already a 23andMe customer, you will get a $130 discount on GxSlim.

Warhawk stats not adding up
I've started playing Warhawk again after a couple of years break.
I'm noticing that in some games, the points that I accumulate are not adding onto my stats.
Also in one particular game, I had 17 kills and 5 deaths and I was awarded a ribbon for the best KDR and during the game I was awarded a badge at "master" level for reaching 500 troop kills.
After this game, I looked in my stats and these hadnt been added on, this was yesterday, so I cant see them going on now.
I've just finished a game with 102 points and these havent been added either.
There seems to be too many problems with the points going on, I could be losing hundreds of points and not realising it at times.
Will Sony please bring out a new patch to fix these problems.
95% of games I play are on the official servers, when I play on player ranked games, I dont seem to have any problems. I just sometimes prefer the official, especially the FCTF

Meaning of the Star of David
If so, what do they do? You should pick a topic that can hold the interest of the children. The number seven has multiple significance in Judaism for example;The six days of Creation and the seventh day of rest. Liver problems can range from mild liver congestion to a serious liver disease.At this age they are just learning how to figure things out for themselves, instead of being spoon fed information, and they're very eager to learn new things. Due to the fact that the liver is one of the hardest working organs in the body and has many roles, there are a number of problems that can occur with the liver. There are tons of fun projects for this age group; These are also reflected in the seven spiritual building blocks (Sefirot) with which God created the world:As popular knowledge, it is said that the young Israelite lad, David, who would later become King David, used a shield in this shape when he went to battle. The information in this article is not intended to take the place of a personal relationship with a qualified health practitioner nor is it intended as medical advice. It is estimated that around 10-20% of people over 40 years of age have gallstones and their presence is linked to a high fat, low fibre diet. Up, Down, East, West, South, North and Center.it's just a matter of picking one out of many. Either you get drunk very quickly or you have bad hangovers that are out of proportion to the amount of alcohol you have drunk Caffeine gives you a strong buzz and can keep you awake for hours When you eat asparagus, you have a funny smell in your urine Skin problems such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, general rashes, itchy skin Hot flushes that feel as if they rise up from the torso towards the head You frequently wake up around 1-3am in the morningPlease note: Other fun 2nd grade science projects is the traditional volcano model, however while this is fun for the kids, it's not really answering a question.Maybe they even get scared.

As it happened Warwickshire were also without Tim Munton, Gladstone Small and Nick Knight, while Keith Piper had to retire temporarily with a damaged finger. But all this was irrelevant tittle-tattle to euphoric Tykes who can once again glimpse, like the Holy Grail through the mists, another Championship.
This victory brought an end to Yorkshire's worst sequence against another county, since Surrey beat them eight times in succession between 1886 to 1889. Such statistics are burned into the soul in these parts.
In truth the champions had little hope of saving this match, for Andy Forgarty's pitch had started to wear on Saturday and by yesterday morning was helping spin from the Football End and providing variable bounce from the Kirkstall Lane End.
Accordingly, David Byas rotated his seamers downhill while Richard Stemp and Michael Bevan shared the other end and even at full strength Warwickshire would have been hard pressed to survive, resuming 76 behind with four top wickets gone.
Shaun Pollock was not happy when he was given out caught off bat and pad at silly point; Dermot Reeve tried to flick to leg a near yorker that hardly rose; Dougie Brown was totally confounded by a glorious chinaman from Bevan that did just about everything but spit fire; Darren Gough pitched up, fast, at middle stump to remove Graeme Welsh and Ashley Giles while the returning Piper, whose glove was hit by Peter Hartley, was last out, to Stemp's arm ball.
So how good are Yorkshire? Far better over four days than one, as recent results testify. The average age of the first-team squad is 23. In Bevan they have an overseas professional whose will to win exceeds their own and, in the new captain, Byas, a total independent who does not rely on cricket for his living. He is their first captain for a long time who can afford to tell the committee to get stuffed.
Of his team he says: "I want the right frame of mind. We'll win some and we'll lose some but as long as we take the field with a belief in winning I'll be satisfied. The points will come.'' So will the silverware.

The Working on Waste Debates Series looks to bring together stakeholders from across the industry to discuss some of the key themes surrounding household food waste. Here's some food for thought from IGD senior sustainability analyst Alan Hayes.
In 2015, the UK's food and grocery industry faces three major challenges:
Food waste costs the food and grocery industry £19bn every year in the UK1 while avoidable household food waste (HHFW) is estimated at 4.2m tonnes, worth £12.5bn.
There is huge potential for industry to tackle this. Reducing these waste costs can contribute to leaner and more resource-efficient supply chains, mitigating the impact of the three major challenges outlined above.
Avoidable food waste is also associated with 17 million tonnes of CO2e emissions1 so every reduction in avoidable food waste will help to reduce these emissions and their consequent environmental impacts.
The benefits to industry from tackling household food waste are therefore twofold – financial and environments.
The WoW Campaign has tremendous scope and potential. By engaging through employers with their employees, the campaign raises awareness of household food waste and empowers consumers to help reduce it.
This will:
There is a clear economic benefit to the food industry in tackling the enormous costs associated with food waste.
These benefits are available now, with a compelling business case. Research by WRAP indicates that up to 50% of the savings from food waste are reinvested in smaller quantities of higher value food2. This opportunity for higher value sales is in addition to the benefits from supply chain efficiencies.
A great deal of work is being carried out by many companies as they seek to reduce waste within their operations. IGD has worked on waste prevention best practice for many years3 and started the Working on Waste programme in 2014 to address household food waste 4.
Recent research by IGD 5 has found that companies are adapting to the challenging times by focusing on the following three areas:
The benefits from reduced household food waste, when combined with the efficiencies that will accrue from these focus areas, could help deliver more resilient and sustainable supply chains across the food and grocery industry.
The Debate Series seeks to understand how industry can make the biggest possible difference on household food waste.
You may agree, partially agree or disagree with what I have written here. Therefore, please:

An employee of the Department of Agriculture has resigned, after conservative media outlets posted video Monday of her describing a time in the past when she hadn't used the "full force" of her abilities to help a farmer because he was white.
[I hate to say it, but this seems like BS that she was forced out by the Obama Admin. This occurred 24 years go when she didn't work for the government. Of course she may have quickly resigned rather than have her current history scrutinized.]

2016 Leavers' Camp
Applications for the organising committee of the 2016 Leavers' Camp are now open
As every year, the Leavers' Camp is one of the highlights of the Milestone calendar. The camp is entirely organised by you, the alumni, and hence offers a great opportunity to develop your skills at event organisation, management, fundraising, and budgeting (apart from lots of fun, of course). The Milestone Leavers' Camp Organising Committee (MLCOC) will have 10 members, who will tackle the challenge of making the camp for this year's 135 leavers the best ever.
The larger aim is to celebrate the work done thus far and to begin creating an environment that will not only help leavers in settling into their new home abroad, but connect them with like-minded alumni in the hope that they will carry on the Milestone mission and live up to the high expectations placed in them, launch innovating projects together and work on important social issues.
A Selection Commission has been set up whose tasks are to select the Chair of the MLCOC from among the applicants, to approve the other members of the MLCOC, based on the Chair's recommendations, and to advise and consult the MLCOC, to insure that past mistakes are avoided and best practices are continued and improved.
The members of the Selection Commission are:
|Dániel Léderer
|Zsófia Pátkai-Kiss
|Ádám Zeitler
|Rita Pataki
|Christoph Gottstein
If you are interested in being part of this year's team and making a great tradition greater, please fill out the online application form by 5pm CET on Monday, April 11th. The selection of the Chair will be announced on April 15th, with those of the other MLCOC members following on April 22nd. The following committee positions are available and wait for your application:
|Deputy Chair
|Treasurer and Sponsorship Coordinator
|MS Alumni and Staff Coordinator
|Programme Coordinator
|Deputy Programme Coordinator (2)
|Logistics Coordinator
|Leavers' Coordinator
|Team Leaders' Coordinator

Mario Kart Arcade
Game Info: Mario Kart Arcade
This game reminds me of the old racing arcades I was used to play in the arcades room when I was just a kid. This title follows that original manner by having a scrolling road and background as well. You must collect items such as, gold coins, question mark blocks and red mushroom in order to reach the needed score for stepping to next levels. The first score to achieve is 10.000 points while the next is 25.000. In order to avoid damaging your kart, try not to hit the turtle shells found on the road.
How to Play:

Explaining why inflation has failed to rise with recovery is harder. Even in the US, the first country to climb out of recession, inflation has remained subdued despite low interest rates. Here in Britain, now more than a year into recovery and also with quite low interest rates, there is very little sign of a return of inflation. This is despite the depreciation of sterling, which inevitably boosts import prices. Viewed globally, wholesale prices are falling: countries that have devalued their currencies show very little rise in producer prices, while in those whose currencies have appreciated, producer prices are falling.
This suggests a structural force holding down prices worldwide. What might this be? In the mid- 1980s, people attributed disinflation to high global interest rates, but this is hardly the case in the US now. One explanation comes from the investment bank CS First Boston - that it is the impact of competition from China and the other new industrial nations on the world economy.
CSFB argues in terms of the impact on UK price trends. In a country like Britain, whose currency has depreciated, importers are forced to avoid price rises by consumer pressure. Accordingly, they scout about for lower-cost suppliers, particularly in East Asia. As a result, import volumes from what we now have to call the European Union are down 10 per cent since September last year, while imports from non-EU countries are up 10 per cent. Imports from East Asia have risen within that non-EU total. So devaluations speed up the impact of those new regions on the world economy.
One could, however, apply the same argument to the countries whose currencies have appreciated. In Japan, one of the most marked effects of appreciation has been to force producers to switch sourcing to low-cost countries - again in the rest of East Asia.
Currency movements may be little more than a catalyst: they concentrate the minds of importers and exporters alike as to how they might reduce costs. The obvious way of so doing is to use the opportunities created by the new low-cost industrial nations.
It is worth pushing this argument one stage further. One important feature of the world economy since the mid-1980s has been the emergence of new low-cost competitors. Each region has them: the US has Mexico; the EU has Eastern Europe; Japan has Korea, and the other established East Asian producers have mainland China. Competition is not new, but the coincidental arrival of such potentially powerful producers must have an impact on the world economy.
There is a parallel here with the last century. One of the key forces holding down world price levels then was the rapid spread of industrialisation - from Britain to North America and Continental Europe. However, during much of the post-Second World War period, there have - with the important exceptions of Japan and a handful of small East Asian states - been no new industrial nations. Japan and its neighbours have forced greater efficiency in many established industries of the West. They have held down prices in consumer electronics and improved quality in cars. But they compete on quite a narrow front and have not had an obvious impact in areas where they do not export.
Now there is the possibility of a rapid spread of industrialisation analogous to that which took place in the last century. Eastern Europe and Russia are no longer held back by a hopeless economic system. China has allowed the market economy to spread through a fair proportion of the country. And Latin America is weaning itself off the fatal cocktail of import controls and subsidies that it has force-fed to its industries.
If this argument is right, and if the economic reforms of these three areas are carried through, there will be downward pressure on the price of manufactured goods for another generation. Structural change in the world economy will add to the other forces that are already holding down world prices: the discipline of world financial markets, and (probably) the voting preferences of an increasingly old electorate in the industrial world.
Holding down the prices of internationally traded manufactures will not, of itself, ensure that inflation of all goods and services remains low. Manufacturing accounts for only 20-30 per cent of the economies of 'industrial' countries. It is quite difficult to see quite how competition from mainland China could help hold down costs in non-traded services, like health care or education. But stable or falling prices in traded goods will have an impact on purchaser psychology and make it more difficult for service industries to use inflation as an excuse to put up their charges - and as a result, contribute to a general disinflationary climate.

Finally got around to posting my Kaibab MX recap. Tons of pics from our northern gem. Get up there if you can.
I ride the crappy trails so you don't have to
My Two Schillingsworth
AWESOME trip report. The Kaibab is sublime!
Thanks for re-kindling my love for, and fascination with, the Kaibab. I spent the summer after my 1st year of college working in the gas station @ Jacob Lake. I spent every free minute hiking and riding the area. Now I dream of the day I will return with my wife and kids to show them around the beauty of the North Rim. I think anyone who only sees the Canyon from the south is missing everything. Thanks for the great report, and for stirring up lots of fond memories!
Great pics and ride report - thanks for posting! Looks like it was quite an adventure. Running out of tubes /Stans with miles to go would be nerve racking.
Last edited by CraigCreekRider; 06-11-2013 at 05:20 AM.
Thanks for the kind words. I agree, people who only view the Canyon from the S.Rim are missing out! Yeah, the tire/sealant issues were a bit unsettling, at least hwy67 was never too far away. Not sure if I mentioned it, but when Josiah & Mark caught up to me at the east rim overlook they provided me with an extra tube for peace of mind.

- Subject: Simplified Concrete Paving 101
- From: "Rich Lewis" <seaint03(--nospam--at)lewisengineering.com>
- Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 16:31:47 -0600
I have resisted as much as possible doing any paving design. I don't like civil site work. I stick with structures only. I have come into a circumstance where I must specify some paving and I don't have any good references. Are there good references that describe concrete paving in simple terms? I don't have to do an active road design, more like parking lot type traffic, real slow. I have heavy tank trucks using the road, not constantly, maybe several times a day. The section of the road I have to design is 28 feet wide and about 150 feet long. I'm thinking the subgrade is probably going to be existing site soils, no significant prep, base course, etc. I may have crush stone base under it since the real road beyond my limits is a gravel road.
I have an old civil engineers handbook. It has a 1 page section on concrete paving. It doesn't really discuss design much at all. Are there any references that illustrate concrete paving design by a few cookie cutter equations? Any good websites with references?
I downloaded the NAVFAC PCASE program. It is a bit overkill for me. Toying with the program I came up with a 6.5" slab. I'm not sure if I used it right. I'm thinking an 8 inch slab with nominal reinforcing, say #4 @ 16" o.c. top bars with one joint splitting the 28 ft. width and probably 7-8 joints on the length. Does that sound reasonable for tank truck traffic from someone with paving experience? My gut says it's fine, but I don't like putting a design on my drawings that I can't justify with calculations of some kind.
Thanks for any help.

Our strategic framework
Play to Win Strategic Framework
Our 2020 Play to Win Strategic Framework is based on our
core values
and four strategic imperatives; community trust, consumer relevance, customer preference and cost leadership. We "Play to Win" with The Coca-Cola Company, our partners in growth. Unparalleled talent and high performance mindset are key enablers of our efforts to achieve our aspirational targets.
Community trust
Sustainable growth for our business goes hand in hand with sustainable development for our communities. We are deeply committed to creating value for these communities and building our reputation as a trusted partner and a force for positive change. Today, more than ever before, business and society must work together to create sustainable environmental, economic and social change: to make a difference and create a better world for our children.
Our aim is to work with
to continue to build trust: trust in our brands and products, trust in our actions as citizens and trust in the future. To do this we strive to be open, transparent and collaborative in all our actions and communications.
Consumer relevance
Winning in the marketplace begins with anticipating and meeting the needs of our consumers, a task which Coca-Cola Hellenic Group is uniquely placed to perform. We manage a portfolio of the world's
leading beverage brands
, which we strategically leverage to capture clearly defined market opportunities.
We also continue to introduce product and packaging innovations to meet consumers' evolving lifestyles and tastes. In the marketplace, we are rolling out a powerful strategy for consumer-driven execution that enhances relevance and revenue growth and will allow us to capture untapped opportunities across our markets.
Customer preference
The retail environment for beverages continues to transform rapidly, with the trend towards organised, large-scale and discount retail formats expanding to more of our markets. Our response has been to make 'customer preference' a core value of our business. This means building true collaboration and partnerships that create sustainable value and profitable growth for our business and our customers across all key channels.
By finding new ways to win together in the marketplace, we aim to be the preferred supplier to all of our customers. To achieve this, we have adopted a comprehensive set of initiatives designed to build collaborative customer relationships and ensure excellence in market execution.
Cost leadership
At Coca-Cola Hellenic Group, effective cost management is an essential part of our long-term strategy for market leadership and sustainable growth. Cost leadership means creating a lean, cost efficient, borderless organisation that will be able to exploit synergies and capture future growth opportunities with maximum efficiency, while continually improving our delivery of best-in class service.
Activities to achieve an effective cost management
• The SAP Wave 2 enables the standardisation of key business processes and systems that will capture new operational efficiencies across the Group. Currently SAP Wave 2 is operational in 21 of our markets, representing nearly three-quarters of our turnover.
• The newly established Coca-Cola Hellenic Business Services Organisation (BSO) that will standardise, centralise, coordinate and simplify certain Finance and Human Resources processes to improve productivity and provide important transactional services at a lower cost. Since November 2011, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland and Cyprus were the countries to transition to BSO. More will follow in the coming years.
• Optimisation of our production and distribution infrastructure
• Development of personal cost ownership throughout the organisation
• Logistic excellence
• Strong free cash flow to support long-term growth
