What should you really be eating?
How little people really know about the food they are consuming!
With the startling realisation that many of our gym community friends and associates don't actually know the difference between simple and complex carbs facing me full on yesterday during a conversation with a few gym buddies; made me horrified that most of our population out there don't have a clue on nutrition or healthy eating.
It surprised me that my fellow gym friends were so naïve to not reading up on anything to do with nutrition or health but then I am probably the naïve one to believe that everyone out there knows about what's good and what's bad for us, because I come from such a knowledgeable background within this area thanks to my degree and experience in the fitness industry. I know a lot of my peers and associates spend a lot of their spare time reading articles upon articles about training methods and training intensity but they have yet to read such scholarship dissertations or reports on the basics of nutrition.
I probably take my knowledge for granted and think that most of our population have been educated in this area at school, home or if not further education than by their parents – but – now this is a big BUT – a recent study from the NHS's State of Health's Annual Report found that 70% of parents did not know that their children were overweight or obese! Now this is a massive starting point to understand why we live in one of the top 3 obese countries in the world to date and how as we grow and become adults that we too are not passing on vital knowledge to our children and younger generations about the importance of nutrition and healthy eating.
I could rant and rave for pages and pages about obesity and implementing a sugar tax but I know you guys just want to read the facts that will educate you quickly within knowing the basics of nutrition; in order to get you ready to be able to create your own diet plan and assist you into further reading into more in-depth and physiological articles. (And guys remember I am neither a registered dietician nor a nutritionist but I am educated at degree level within Sports and Exercise Science and combined with my previous personal training experience as well as my own diet tests and trials, I believe I can pass on some interesting knowledge for you to hopefully gain an insight into making healthier changes for yourselves and others around you.)
The Facts:
We all need fat in our diet as it is an essential to maintain our bodily functions and also use as an energy source for when we are lacking in glucose. Now there are two types of fats – good fats (Unsaturated fat) and bad fats (Saturated fat). The more bad fats we eat the more our cholesterol can raise in which increase the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease. It is important to cut down on such saturated fats and choose foods higher in unsaturated fats as these 'good' fats contain cholesterol destroying properties which are essential for maintaining a healthy heart. We all need fat in our diet because not only does it help the body absorb certain nutrients but it is also a vital source of energy that contains specific vitamins and provides essential fatty acids that the body can't make itself.
Good Fats:
These fats we should be eating MORE OF! (WOW something that tastes good and that we can eat more of?! Yes you heard me correctly!) Eating these types of fats not only can help lower blood cholesterol but also contain essential fatty acids such as omega-3.
Unsaturated Fats – When reading nutrition labels also look under the tab of fats and then unsaturated!
Omega-3 Rich Unsaturated Fats:
– Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines
– Nuts and Seeds as well as Peanut butter!
– Sunflower and Olive Oils
Other unsaturated fats are also found in vegetables, such as avocados.
Bad Fats:
Saturated Fat – Fats to cut down on
According to the British Dietetic Association, most people in the UK eat too much saturated fat 20% more than the recommended maximum.
– The average man should eat no more than 30grams of saturated fat per day.
– The average woman should eat no more than 20grams of saturated fat per day.
Your risk of heart disease can be increased when levels of cholesterol within the body are raised. Eating a diet high in saturated fat can cause this raise in cholesterol in the blood to happen over time. Foods high in saturated fat include:
– Fatty cuts of meat
– Butter, ghee and lard
– Cheese, esp hard cheese
– Cream, soured cream and ice cream
– Confectionary such as chocolate and crisps
– Biscuits, cakes and pastries
Trans Fats:
These types of fats are naturally found at very low levels in some foods, such as those from animals, including meats and dairy products. Additionally, they can be found in foods containing hydrogenated vegetable oil. Foods that contain hydrogenated vegetable oil then must declare this on the ingredients list, thus increasing their trans fat level. Similar to saturated fats, trans fats can raise cholesterol levels in the blood therefore this is why it's recommended that adults should consume up to no more than 5grams of trans fats per day. Luckily however, supermarkets in the UK have removed hydrogenated vegetable oil from most of their own-brand products thus allowing most people in the UK to not consume over the recommended average daily intake of trans fats.
We need protein to repair our body's cells and maintain health as protein is one of our essential energy sources. The basic structure of protein is a chain of amino acids; these chemical chains are used for creating the proteins within our cells. It is a major part of the skin, muscles, organs and glands. Protein is essential to our diet because it helps our body repair its cells as well as making new ones. It is important for growth and development especially during childhood, adolescence and pregnancy.
As we eat proteins and the get digested, amino acids are left. Our human body needs a number of difference amino acids in order to break down food correctly; therefore they need to be eaten in large enough amount for optimal health. Many amino acids are found in animal sources such as meats, milk, fish and eggs; as well as in plant sources such as soy, beans, legumes, nut butters and some grains – such as wheat germ. Luckily for vegetarians (like myself), you do not need to eat animal products to get all the essential protein you need in your diet.
Amino acids are classified into three groups:
Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body and therefore must be supplied by the food we consume. However, they do not need to be eaten at one meal as the balance over the whole day is more important. We have nine essential amino acids.
Nonessential amino acids are made by the body from essential amino acids or in the normal breakdown of proteins. We have four nonessential amino acids.
Conditional amino acids are usually not essential, except in times of illness and stress. We have eight conditional amino acids.
But remember … A diet high in meat can contribute to high cholesterol levels due to the amount of saturated fat you would be consuming. Additionally, a high-protein diet may also put a strain on the kidneys.
When eating a nutritionally balanced diet it provides enough protein for our bodily functions to grow and repair, therefore healthy people rarely need to take protein supplements. Even vegetarians are able to get enough essential amino acids by eating a variety of plant proteins.
The recommended daily protein amount depends upon your age and health. For most adults, two or three servings of protein-rich food will meet the daily needs.
The following are the recommended serving sizes for protein:
Choose from:
Other sources of protein:
Carbohydrates are the essential source of energy for the human body. The reason for this is because they can be converted more readily into glucose, the form of sugar that's transported and used by the body, more than proteins or fats can.
However, a diet too high in carbohydrates can upset the delicate balance of your body's blood sugar level, resulting in fluctuations in energy and mood which leave you feeling irritated and tired; and can cause you to eat more carbohydrates resulting in eating more than the day's calorie recommendation. Therefore it is better to balance your intake of carbohydrates with protein, fat and fibre.
These bad boys are split into 3 groups:
Net carbs – carbs that don't impact your blood glucose (sugar) levels – minus the fibre and sugar alcohols (i.e. polys) from the total carb amount = net carbs
Complex carbohydrates:
These are often referred to as starch or starchy foods, and are found naturally in foods (like oats) and also refined in processed foods (like biscuits).
Natural starches are found in:
Refined starches are found in:
Simple carbohydrates:
These are also known as sugars. They also exist in either a natural or refined form.
Natural sugars are found in:
Refined sugars are found in:
Complex and Simple – The difference between them:
When any carbohydrate is digested they form glucose. Glucose is transported around the body via blood and taken into cells to be converted into energy.
The hormone insulin controls the uptake of glucose by your cells and the pancreas gland secretes this hormone. When the body has any excess glucose, this is converted into glycogen; which is stored in the liver or in fat around the body – leading to excess weight gain.
A second hormone is secreted by the pancreas called glucagon when your body needs more energy. This converts the store glycogen back into glucose for energy which is then released into your bloodstream for your cells to use.
The body's metabolism is the cycle of glucose, insulin and glucagon reactions.
Thus, complex carbohydrates provide a slower and more sustained release of energy than simple carbohydrates.
Complex carbohydrates found in their natural form contribute to long-term good health, appetite control and sustained energy levels, and therefore more aesthetically pleasing bodies.
The current advice is that we should get half our energy needs from carbohydrates, with at least one third of our daily intake of body being natural starchy carbohydrates. According to the British Nutrition Foundation the average adult's daily intake meets this target with women getting ~50% of their daily energy from carbs (203g) and men ~50% (275g).
However not all carbohydrates are equal: refined sugars should make up only 11% of your daily diet – however if we are trying to lose weight or gain a lean physique then personally I would cut out refined sugars all together.
So the magic question we all want to know the answer to … Do carbohydrates make you fat?
Regardless of what foods you get your energy from, eating too much will lead to weight gain. Yet while low carb diets have had much debate, gram for gram carbohydrates contain less calories than fat, protein and alcohol:
However when we consume too many carbohydrates the unused glucose is converted into glycogen and up to 100g is stored in the liver and then the rest is stored as fat within the body. Therefore, we will put additional weight on if we eat over our recommended daily allowance of carbohydrate or any other food group.

People come here from around the world to have a family vacation or be just bring a friend, to get married in a picturesque setting or spend the day fishing to their heart's content uninterrupted by responsibilities. Some find it a great location to get to other attractions, or to escape after a busy week at Disney World, or just to run relatively undisturbed by the water for their daily exercise. Whatever their reason, the beauty of this beach is a huge magnet.
You may be wondering about the different names of the area you knew as a kid coming here with your family. St Pete Beach became a separate city of about 10,000 people, and includes Passagrille, Belle Vista and what was called St. Petersburg Beach. Then there is the city of St. Petersburg to the east. Don't worry, everyone there knows what you are talking about.
There are 39 acres of public beach to enjoy, and almost that many of park area. People keep coming back as the beaches are beautiful, the rates are good if you are on a budget, and avoiding the spring break college crowd at Daytona has its own benefits. The crowds can swell at the beach but not in the same wild party way.
Don't want to drive or rent a vehicle? Take the Beach Trolley around or a taxi. The Beach Trolley runs along Gulf Boulevard every 30 to 40 minutes and if you're using it a lot, consider a day or week pass. St. Petersburg, Clearwater and the rest of the Tampa Bay area are accessible by the trolley. Bats Taxi Service can get your around, and it cheaper if you have a few people coming from Tampa International airport, than getting an airport shuttle to St Pete Beach. Compare prices first. Bats Taxi phone number is 727-367-3702.
Some people prefer a private residence rather than a hotel even if that means walking to the beach a few blocks instead of being right by the water. According to one woman from Denver I met on the beach, she and her husband keep renting small homes from Frank Hurley Associates rental and real estate office, and it is has been a popular choice for those people flexible about not being right on the sandy beach. 1-8–=783-6929.

Nothing starts the day off quite like an invigorating walk along the beach or a hearty breakfast. Why not combine the two? Plenty of folks living in St. Pete Beach and nearby St. Petersburg do it, opting for waterfront and outdoor dining in tropical paradise. If you're vacationing there, you should too, savoring every moment of a Gulf breeze amidst the sunshine. We've got you covered here with plenty of waterfront dining options.

The Hurricane Seafood Restaurant
The historic Hurricane on Pass-A-Grille Beach may not be directly on the water. It's actually across the street from the Gulf. But its spectacular Gulf views from three stories high, early hours, and extensive menu make it an ideal breakfast destination. Breakfast is served seven days a week starting at 7 a.m. with omelets that are to-die-for! You can also enjoy some of the finest seafood on the beach, including fresh Gulf Grouper and their world-famous 1945 Crab Cake.
The Sea Horse
The Sea Horse offers the best-priced breakfast on St. Pete Beach. Located on the intracoastal of Pass-A-Grille, you can get eggs, cheese grits, corned beef hash, home fries, pecan pancakes, French toast, breakfast sandwiches and more. You won't find anything above $ 7.00, with most entrees under $ 5.00. They serve breakfast until 1:00 p.m. so you can sleep in just a bit. They are closed on Tuesdays, however.
Nina's On the Beach
Nina's on the Beach is an intracoastal hidden treasure located where St. Pete Beach and Treasure Island meet, near Sunset Beach. It features a delicious assortment of favorites like eggs benedict, corned beef hash, creamed chipped beef, waffles, and more. Service is fast and friendly, and it's a popular spot for locals. You'll catch a really nice breeze sitting outside on this quiet corner of the beaches and you'll feel cozy and comfortable inside with friends.
From the outside, you're probably not sure what to expect. The outside looks like an outdoor railroad bar, or something futuristic, from outer space. This diner, located on St. Pete Beach, is the place you want to go to splurge on a hearty, gourmet breakfast. Chef-inspired creations include ribeye steak-n-eggs, potatoes, and toast carved from prime rib. Bananas foster French toast is a favorite, along with light diner pancakes.

Put away your thick trench coat and boots and trade them in for a pair swim trunks (or a bikini if you're a girl), and flip flops! You don't have to stay up north and endure another snowstorm – it's already beach weather on Florida's west coast, giving you a great excuse to get away and enjoy one of the most beautiful year-round climates in the U.S.
An early spring is one of St. Pete Beach's best-kept secrets. Locals start going to the beach as early as February, enjoying crowdless beaches with plenty of room to wiggle their toes in the sand. The water is still fairly, cold, but resorts offer heated pools, should you wish to cool off, and you can enjoy plenty of activities in the sand and nearby outdoor areas.
You'll always find a game of pick-up beach volleyball, and plenty of people who will play with you, whether it's at a resort or one of the area's beachfront bars. Locals enjoy an active lifestyle and are friendly with vacationers. Ask to join in on the fun!
The St. Pete Beach area is filled with avid runners and cyclists. There are running groups that run nearly every morning on the beach, and you can find a 5k race or road race nearly every weekend. Plenty of these races offer fun runs and fun rides too, so you and the family can get together and get some great exercise in while on vacation.
Markets are always popular in St. Pete Beach. Historic Corey Avenue always has a great Sunday Market. It also has arts and crafts festivals and art shows that feature the work of local artisans, with some exquisite jewelry, paintings, clothing, pottery, free music, spices, and more.

Snorkeling is always a great way to explore shallow waters – just not in the fresh water where the alligators are. If you do visit Fort DeSoto, be sure to watch for signs where there is no swimming allowed. Sharp currents can be dangerous.
No matter how you choose to explore Florida's outdoors, there is never a shortage of things to do or fresh air to invigorate your lungs. It's just the type of retreat you need!

'It is wonderful to have the entire Solheim Cup team playing here. It shows their commitment to the Tour to have players here like Laura Davies, Trish Johnson, Helen Alfredsson and Alison Nicholas who have done so well in America,' Terry Coates, the Tour's chief executive, said.
Coates has been amazed at the growing interest in the Tour and is confident that will be reflected in the number of tournaments next year, when the team will travel by Concorde to defend the Solheim Cup in West Virginia. Such is the growth in interest that Sunningdale is a possible venue for the 1996 match.
Davies is the only member of the winning side among the top-five in the current standings who will eventually earn automatic places. Sweden's Annika Sorenstam, after her first two European events as a professional, leads the list.
'There are a lot of good young players coming through and everyone will have to work hard to make the team which is likely to be even stronger than the Dalmahoy team. This will be on everyone's mind this week,' Davies said.Reuse content

Kaoru groaned and ran a hand through his hair. His head was pulsing, his forehead was damp with sweat, and his eyes refused to stay open.
"Maybe we should go home, Kaoru." Hikaru frowned, his eyebrows scrunched in worry. They had decided to head downtown for the day, and around noon Kaoru started complaining of a massive headache.
"No! I need my books!" Kaoru retorted. He turned away and headed towards the book store across the street. Hikaru sighed and followed after his stubborn brother turned lover. They entered through a sparkling glass door with stainless steel handles.
"What type of books are you looking for?" Hikaru asked, his sights set on a bright yellow cover. Kaoru breathed out and turned in the direction his brother was looking. Seriously, Hikaru?
"I heard it was a horribly written book, Hikaru."
"I'm looking for... Oh! Found it! Urrg... my head."
"Kaoru, just hurry up and pay. I want to take you home."
"Alright, alright!"
Kaoru stumbled up the stairs with the help of his brother. When they'd left the book store, the clouds that had been covering the sun were now safely away from it, and the light practically blinded Kaoru. Hikaru now had a permanent frown on his face. He did not like seeing his brother in pain. He tightened his grip around his brother's waist as they rounded the corner leading to their room. Hikaru kicked open the door and gently lay his brother on their bed.
"I like it when you play doctor, Hikaru." Kaoru breathed.
"Just shut the fuck up, Kaoru. You're supposed to be asleep." Hikaru muttered. His brother still managed to be annoying while a migraine attacked him.
"Aw, come on, Hikaru. I'm... err... bored..." Kaoru paused frequently to groan in pain. His twin quickly changed into his own pyjamas and raised the duvet covers of their king sized bed so he could shuffle in beside his brother. Wrapping an arm around his waist, Hikaru nuzzled his pale neck and whispered sweet nothings in his ear.
"Just relax, Kaoru. I need you to sleep so you can feel better. Watching you hurt is almost equally painful for me."
"But, but... It's just a migraine! I'm not gonna... mphf!" Kaoru was silenced by the mashing of lips onto his. He gave a small whimper before returning the pressure.
"You're such an uke. Now sleep." Hikaru ordered. At this statement, the redhead beside him sat up, staring down at him with determination.
"Uke, huh? I'll show you who's uke!" He shouted. He climbed over top of his brother and just gazed down at the sheer beauty of him.
"Kaoru, stop it. Please, please. Just go to sleep." Hikaru pleaded, ignoring the lust in his brother's stare. A pale hand gently stroked his cheek, trying to get him to submit.
"No. Stop. As much as I want to, you're sick." Hikaru said, pushing his brother on to his side. Silence. Turn over. Silence. Thump. Ow. Silence. Crawling. Silence.
"Kaoru, get your hands out of my fucking pants and get to sleep or I'll beat the shit out of you!"
"Hikaaruuuu! C'mon! It doesn't hurt anymore!"
"Kaoru, if you want it so badly, go find Haruhi."
"Whaatt? NO! She's- she- what- I- no- NO!"
"Shh. Relax, I'm just teasing. Haruhi's got Tamaki and I've got you. So let me enjoy it."
"Heh. You'd enjoy it much more if I had my mouth on your-"
"Kaoru, damn it! Shut up!"
"...What if I don't?"
"I'll make you."
"Yeah you'll fu-"
"No! I will not."
"-ck me senseless."
"All in due time, Kaoru."
"Say my name again."
"Kao... ru?"
"Mmmm! Yes, just the way-"
"Screw you. I'm sleeping somewhere else tonight."
"Have you looked out the window, dumbass? It's 3 in the fucking afternoon."
"Is your migraine gone?"
"Yes, now it is."
"Good. Because I'm taking that 'fucking you senseless' idea into consideration."
"I thought so."
Hahah, so this is what I come up with at 3:37 in the morning. I'm too cool. So... I hope you guys liked it. I haven't watched/read Ouran High School Host Club for the longest time, so the twins are probably OoC. And if anyone would be horny, it would be Tamaki... -.- WTR!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters! This is simply a means of enjoyment (Yeah, enjoyment) and is not used for profits.

Based on their YouTube comedy series, The Last Man(s) on Earth, we find Charan Prabhakar and Brady Bluhm channeling their inner Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, respectively. This is a film that looks like it was a ton of fun to make, though slightly less fun to watch. Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy it and found the leads to be funny characters, but it still felt like a YouTube length skit that was stretched out to feature length proportions. The filmmakers were also obviously working on a very constrained budget, which added charm at moments and weighed down the film at other times. If you enjoy the camaraderie of Pegg/Frost, then this film might just as well be the lower-budgeted cousin, with a similar character dynamic and humor that wouldn't be out of place in one of their films or TV shows. Overall, a valiant effort and I'd love to see what these guys could do if given the resources to make a decently funded feature.

Blue Ridge SWCD's Budget Finance Committee Meeting Public Notice
Nonpoint Source Success Story: Blackwater River
Agricultural Best management Practices Improve Aquatic Life in the Blackwater River
High sediment loadings led to violations of the general standard for aquatic life use in Franklin County's Blackwater River. As a result, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) added two segments of the Lower Blackwater River to the 2008 Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters. Landowners installed agricultural best management practices (BMPs); these decreased edge-of-field sediment loading and helped improve water quality. Because of this improvement, DEQ removed two segments of the Blackwater River from Virginia's 2014 list of impaired waters for biological impairment. To read more click on this link 2014-delisted-blackwater
Nonpoint Source Success Story: Big Chestnut Creek
Installing Residential and Agricultural Best Management Practices Reduces Bacteria in Big Chestnut Creek
High bacteria loadings led to violations of Virginia's Water Quality Standard (WQS) for designated recreation (swimming) use in Big Chestnut Creek. As a result, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) added the creek to its 2004 Clean Water Act (CWA) section 303(d) list of impaired waters. From 2007 through 2012, stakeholders installed various agricultural and residential practices in the Big Chestnut Creek watershed that decreased nonpoint source runoff. As a result, Virginia DEQ removed Big Chestnut Creek from its 2014 list of impaired waters based on attainment of the bacteria WQS. To read more click on this link 2014-delisted-bigchestnut

Abbott Farms Hosts Educational Field Day
On Saturday, July 23, 2016 at Abbott Farms, the community was invited to learn more about the farm's community garden with the help of Virginia Cooperative Extension agents, Virginia State University Small Farm Outreach and the Blue Ridge Soil & Water Conservation District.
Blue Ridge SWCD's Program Manager/Education Coordinator, Kathy Smith demonstrated how to convert a 53 gallon food grade container into a functional rain water harvesting barrel. For those interested in participating in the Blue Ridge SWCD Rain Barrel Drawing, names were collected in a bucket and the winning name was drawn out. The recipient of the constructed Rain Barrel was Mrs. Carol David from Glade Hill, VA. Congratulations!!!
Garden tips, demonstrations on how to cook fresh produce and sampling the finished prepared products were a mouth watering treat.
"When you have to go out and plant plants and weed a garden and pick produce in 90 something degree weather you really appreciate what you get on your plate and how much work goes into it and I think that's important for people to see," Clinton Carty from Virginia State University said.
The community garden on Abbot Farms is open to the public. Volunteers pick produce every Monday and Thursday morning from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. with all of the produce going to local food banks.

Gus Poyet on...
Arriving late into the box from midfield...
The key here is timing. Sometimes players don't go into the box because they think they are too late but how many times would that player then get the ball, maybe the crosser checks back and that will give you an extra couple of seconds, perhaps the cross is towards edge of the area.
The vital thing is to be in contact with the box. Even if I'm wide, I will get in there.
It's important you take a look to make sure you don't go into the same place in the box as your team-mates. It's about reading the game. When you are up front it is tough, the defender is always near you, but running from deep you can often find the space to score. Of course, it's sometimes about luck, but you have to be in there.
So, again, the key things are timing, look at what is in front of you, judge where you are going to run and get in there!
NOTE TO MEMBERS & JSMsIs there any particular tip you would like us to ask a player?
If so, submit your question HEREDon't forget to indicate your name and who your question is directed to....

| It's been less than a week since VRMMO content abruptly appeared in reality. So far most of this content has been, uh, content to remain in its own zone. But without seeming reason or provocation a twoheaded giant has dropped from the flying castle Aincrad into the heart of Japan. It begins cutting a straight line through Tokyo, climbing up or around or sometimes going through anything in its way with its monstrous pair of spiked hammers. And if that isn't bad enough, that straight-line path seems to be heading for the place where a young girl lies helpless. A young girl well-known to the heroes of the virtual world.
Yep, Yuuki Konno needs saving because it's in the real world. Reserved spots given to those of the SAO theme and those heavily involved with the SAO cast, but I should be able to handle as many people as are willing to show up.

|Antaris, a desert planet and home to a hardy group of Imperial Guardsmen, the 'Sand Devils'. Normally content to handle their own business, a week ago they sent out for a small detatchment of trainers. The local regiment, the Death Korp, responded. But a few days after calls went out saying that the Korpsmen had gone traitor. As such, another call for aid went out. Karian and his Space Wolves responded, but to their noses this smelled too odd. But the truth...that has yet to be seen...

| KOWLOON, HONG KONG, APRIL 30th, 2098
The lawless sector of Hong Kong, Kowloon is the one zone that's been written off as gangland territory by the private owners of the city-state now. Overrun with corruption and violence, Chairwoman Zhen Zhang of the 108 Syndicate has gotten wind of a cybernetics smuggling ring with unpleasant methods. A chop-shop for cyborgs, this smuggling ring has been peddling the stolen mods from unfortunate victims for extreme sums, and has cost the lives of many civilians in Hong Kong, as well as rivals to this gang.

Boston. Austin. San Francisco. Seattle. St. Paul. Washington, DC.
You'll find them on just about every list of "best cities for Millennials," thanks to their nightlife, housing, jobs and demographics. But those lists omit one key element that makes these cities great for young people: paid parental leave.
Each of these cities offers – or, in the case of Boston, is making moves to offer – paid maternity leave and paternity leave for city employees.
And why are they doing it? For the same reasons leading businesses have begun offering the benefit – to bolster their employer brands. When only 13 percent of American workers have access to employer-provided paid leave, maternity and paternity leave plans become a key asset in attracting and retaining the best employees.
"We know the availability of paid parental leave will be a competitive advantage for the city to recruit talented, highly skilled employees and help us retain the employees we have," wrote Boston Mayor Marty Walsh and Councilwoman Michelle Wu in an op-ed announcing the proposal. "More satisfied and engaged workers are more productive workers. … In balancing work and family commitments, employees feel greater fulfillment in both areas of life, boosting morale and productivity."
Same story in St. Paul, where The Star-Tribune reported Mayor Chris Coleman said "the city needs to do all it can to compete for the best workers as more Baby Boomers retire in coming years."
And in Seattle, where The Post-Intelligencer reported that by offering paid parental leave, "the City is encouraging a stable workforce in which employees are less likely to leave."
"Primed for a National Debate"
The United States is one of three countries that does not provide paid maternity leave. The other two are Oman and Papua New Guinea. But strengthening working families has been a recurring theme throughout the national narrative this year, leading to the suggestion by U.S. News and World Report that "Paid Family Leave is Primed for a National Debate."
It began with President Obama's announcement of plans to broaden access to sick days and paid leave, then came U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's move to reintroduce the FAMILY Act, which would provide paid family leave to American workers. And now Boston is considering an ordinance that would require the city to offer six weeks of paid parental leave to mothers and fathers.
Read More: 5 Things You Need to Know About the FAMILY Act
The movement is in recognition of the seismic shift in the makeup of American families – and the American workforce – over the past several decades.
Women today make up about half of the workforce and, in two-thirds of American families, all parents work. As women take on more of the breadwinner role – about 40 percent of primary breadwinners are women – men are increasingly sharing in caregiving responsibilities.
But our systems haven't caught up to these changing workplace and family dynamics. As Labor Secretary Tom Perez said last year, "We live in a Modern Family society, but our policies are stuck in Leave It To Beaver mentality."
Three states – California, New Jersey and Rhode Island – have statewide paid family and medical leave policies, while several other states have proposals in place. But, absent federal policy – like the FAMILY Act – it falls largely to employers to support our working moms and dads through paid leave.
Many leading employers have found providing paid leave and other family-friendly programs lead to reduced absenteeism and turnover, while also helping to attract the best workers.
"When we increased paid maternity leave at Google from 12 to 18 weeks, we discovered it wasn't just good for mothers, it was good for business, doubling our retention rate amongst mothers," said YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki in a press release announcing her support for the FAMILY Act.
In a white paper presented by the Families and Work Institute and Care.com, Ryan, LLC, a Texas-based tax advisory firm with 1,300 US employees, reported paid leave helped the company cut its turnover rate in half.
Employers who rank on Best Places to Work lists, which are filled with enterprises that offer generous parental leave policies and family-friendly work perks, regularly provide more than two-times the stock market returns and experience 65 percent less turnover than their peers.
And now cities are following suit, offering paid parental leave as a way to find and keep talented employees while strengthening working families and improving gender parity.
"Evidence shows that mothers are more likely to return to their jobs and stay in the workforce if they are afforded paid leave," Walsh and Wu wrote. "With the understanding that paid parental leave helps to retain women in the workforce, we know it will narrow the wage gap for women in our city. We are proud to support and introduce policies that advance women in the workplace and all aspects of city life."
Boston's proposal has been assigned to the city's Government Operations Committee for a hearing. Should it win approval, Boston would join a small but growing group of cities and counties offering paid family leave for municipal employees. According to the National Partnership of Women and Families, that list includes:
- San Francisco
- Sacramento County, Calif.
- Chicago
- Fairfax County, Va
- Austin
- Washington, DC
- Philadelphia
- Cook County, Ill
- St. Petersburg, Fla.
- St. Paul, Minn.
- Brooklyn Park, Minn.
As The Globe pointed out, Boston's paid parental leave measure would only provide paid leave to a small number of city employees . The program would apply only to nonunion employees (initially anyway), and about 90 percent of the city's employees belong to a union. But paid leave could certainly be a part of the next round of union negotiations, making the perk available to all of the city's employees.
Until then, though, the move toward paid leave is good for the working families for whom this benefit would apply, and it's good for the City of Boston's employer brand.

''IS this fun?'' Larry Brown was asked yesterday as he readied himself for another rollicking night at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum as the coach of the David Stern All-Stars, otherwise known as the United States national team.
It was early afternoon and he was sitting in a quiet hotel restaurant, the waves of the Atlantic, visible through the window behind him, rolling silently into shore. There are worse places to be in late August -- suburban Detroit, where he will soon be receiving his paychecks as coach of the Pistons, to name one.
''The fun is taking what is really an all-star team and trying to make a team,'' Brown said. ''You know what? It's happening.''
At his fingertips was a cumulative box score from the Tournament of the Americas, which the United States team, upgraded after last summer's embarrassment at the world championships in Indianapolis, seemed to have under control going into last night's 91-65 victory over host Puerto Rico. ''Look at this,'' Brown said. ''We have 231 assists so far. Our opponents have 94.''Continue reading the main story
This can happen when you're playing Mexico and the Virgin Islands, scoring twice as many baskets. Soon, unfortunately, these fraternal days of summer will give way to the more egocentric and enervating experience of N.B.A. basketball, as Brown was reminded the other day when Isiah Thomas was canned as the Indiana Pacers' coach by Larry Bird. Even Brown, who has coached most of his career with a suitcase under the bench, was stunned by Bird's timing, a month from training camp.
''Listen, we all get fired and Larry has the right to take over there and make a change,'' Brown said. ''All I was saying was that had it come sooner, there would have been other jobs to go after. Now, your kids are in school, everything is locked up. Had they done it 60 days ago, Isiah might be the coach in Detroit right now.''
A noble thought though highly unlikely, given that the Pistons' front-office power, Joe Dumars, for years deferred to Thomas when they formed their championship backcourt of the Bad Boys' reign. The Pistons are Dumars's team now. Out of uniform, stars typically have even more trouble coexisting than in.
That explains the Bird-Thomas denouement, though from a distance, it admittedly might appear to look like something much worse. Once upon a time, Thomas did support claims by the noted social critic Dennis Rodman that Bird's fame was magnified by race. All these years later, here came Bird, in his first bold move as the Pacers' general manager, to fire an African-American legend, intending to replace him with Rick Carlisle, his very white friend and former occupier of space at the end of the Boston Celtics' bench.
But before Jesse Jackson begins screaming at Bill O'Reilly, it must be noted that Carlisle happened to be Larry Brown's predecessor in suburban Detroit and was sent packing by Dumars, an African-American, after guiding the Pistons to the best record in the Eastern Conference.
This is the way it works now in the N.B.A., by far the most enlightened of the major team sports with regard to hiring practices. Whites fire blacks. Blacks fire whites. In Philadelphia, Brown's previous address, a black general manager, Billy King, promoted a black assistant coach, Randy Ayers, to replace Brown. The veteran guard Terry Porter took the deposed George Karl's place in Milwaukee. A less celebrated Jordan, Eddie, bolted Byron Scott's staff in New Jersey to launch the post-Michael era in Washington.
Stern, the N.B.A. commissioner, has enough problems, that's for sure, but at least he doesn't have to mandate interviews for minorities and impose weightless fines on those who circumvent or ignore his rules. The N.B.A. has African-American ownership in Charlotte, a slew of minority executives and an ever-fluctuating count of black head coaches that has been as high as nearly half the league and now numbers 11.
Unlike football, pro basketball is largely perceived as a players' game, freeing the sport from old-school precepts that deify head coaches and make owners more fearful to facilitate change.
''These are $3-million-a-year jobs we're talking about,'' Brown said. ''I wish every pro league would look at our success.''
Meanwhile, Lenny Wilkens, the leader in career victories, has most likely reached the end of the line after presiding over Toronto's decline. Paul Silas took the fall in New Orleans but resurfaced in Cleveland to baby-sit for LeBron James. Here we have a byproduct of progress: blacks getting hired and then, like whites, getting fired.
Thomas succeeded Bird in Indiana as coach of a veteran team that reached the finals but was decomposing and being rebuilt. While there was some grumbling about distribution of minutes and other coaching staples, Thomas made the playoffs three straight years. He was liked by his players, according to forward Jermaine O'Neal.
''I thought all that stuff between Larry and Isiah had been forgotten or been resolved,'' Chuck Daly, the former Pistons coach, said in a telephone interview from his hometown, Kane, Pa., where he was visiting yesterday. ''But I wouldn't make the judgment it was the old stuff. We just don't know.''
Daly golfed last Sunday with Carlisle, who didn't say a word. ''Hey, Rick did a great job in Detroit but Joe decided to make a change,'' Daly said. ''It happens. My take on Isiah is this: he's been a winner all his life. He'll be fine. Believe me, this guy could jump out of an airplane at 10,000 feet and land on his feet.''
That's a good knack in a sport where the ceiling for minority advancement has been raised, to at least the level of respectability.Continue reading the main story

Building the base.
I was approached by the Scottish Basketmakers' Circle as part of their efforts to secure a designer for a new website. The old site was static, with limited avenues for user interaction, and was felt by many to be dated. Recent visual upgrades to the sites of some of their peers motivated them to take action.
They provided a brief, with a clear outline of their requirements. It must be uncomplicated to use; it had to reference the previous site in some stylist terms; it had to encourage member interaction; and lastly, it should serve as an effective hub for concentrating and attracting makers and their skills.
Shown right is the front-page of the old site.
The approach.
After the successful submission of a tender document detailing all aspects of the proposed approach, the fundamentals of their design requirements were laid out. Paramount was legibility and ease-of-access; for this reason, all the old Flash menus and entry-pages were immediately discarded. The overall stylistic language of the site was maintained, with updates made to typefaces, sizes, and general visual interest. Wireframes were made, submitted, discussed, analysed, amended, and agreed upon. The complexity of the site demanded more than one page layout to be arrived at: a single-column layout, a gallery layout, a two-column layout for member profiles, and various others for pages like the library listing.

Most of us couldn't imagine living without our personal computing devices, but we're no longer wowed by this powerful technology.
For the third year in a row, customer satisfaction with personal computers - desktops, laptops and tablets - continued to decline, according to a report by the American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) released on Tuesday. All types of PCs rated a score of 77 out of 100, down 1.3 percent from last year.
Desktop computers - with an ACSI score of 81 - had the highest overall satisfaction rating, while tablets and laptops lagged behind at 77. A poor showing for tablets, down 6 percent from last year, dragged down the entire industry. Tablets had a four-point edge over laptops in the 2014 survey. Now they are tied.
Desktops rated significantly better for processor speed, ability to limit crashes, features (such as apps and data storage) and availability of accessories. They even matched tablets for design.
Clearly, the honeymoon with tablets is over.
The "weakened satisfaction and slowing sales growth suggest early enthusiasm for tablets may have worn off," the report noted.
Tech Rewound: When Computers That Could Print Documents Wowed Us
"There's really nothing all that new or trendy or sexy about the latest tablets compared to a couple of years ago," David VanAmburg, ACIS's managing director, told NBC News. "The market is saturated and pretty much everyone who wants a tablet has their hands on one by now."
Not only has the novelty of mobile computing worn off, but the latest generation of large-screen smartphones now provides a viable alternative to a tablet, VanAmburg said. People who buy technology products have such high expectations for these gadgets that they are easily disappointed, he said.
Most people use their tablets to read email, play games or watch video. And despite the vast assortment of inexpensive apps for tablets, the survey found that desktops remain more "gratifying" to use.
Apple continues to shine
When it comes to customer satisfaction, no other manufacturer comes close to Apple. It's held the top spot in the ACSI survey for more than a decade and this year's score of 84, while unchanged, is seven points above the industry average and far ahead of the competition.
""A lot of it is innovation; a lot of it is brand recognition and perception," VanAmburg said. "Apple by no means dominates the PC business, but those who are loyal to it are fiercely loyal. That's a big part of what sets it apart from the rest."
Amazon, Dell and Samsung all tied at 78 for second place. Here's how the rest scored: ASUS (77), Lenovo (74), Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba (tied at 73) and Acer (70).
Customer satisfaction lacking across the board
Based on this survey, PC manufacturers have a lot of work to do to improve customer satisfaction. Users of desktops, laptops and tablets rated nearly every aspect of their experience - from purchase to performance - lower than last year.
While the availability of software, apps and accessories continues to rate high, customer perception of system crashes and processor speed dropped 4 percent. Again, the report noted, this is probably due to higher expectations for what these devices should do. Satisfaction with call centers dropped to a new low of 70.
New Software Lets Computers Describe and Search Images Like Humans
Faced with stiff competition and a decline in sales, some manufacturers have focused on price to boost business. VanAmburg called that a "seductive path" that is not sustainable in the long run.
"What customers really want most is quality and innovation," he said. "They're willing to pay the price, in so far as they can afford it. At the end of the day, they would like to have a better product that they've got to pay a little more for."

Hamas (the Islamic Resistance Movement) has long been associated in the public mind with terror and violence. In this critical book, two Israeli experts show that, contrary to its image, Hamas is essentially a social and political movement, providing extensive community services and responding to political realities through bargaining and power brokering. The authors lift the veil on Hamas's strategic decision-making methods at each of the crucial crossroads it has confronted: the Intifada and the struggle with the PLO, the Oslo accords and the establishment of the Palestinian National Authority, and the choice between absolute jihad against Israel and the option of controlled violence. Now with a new introduction, this book does much to contextualize the current ascendancy of this controversial political movement.

Hochschulforum Digitalisierung (German Forum for Higher Education in the Digital Age) is an independent national platform for the promotion of digital learning and teaching in German universities. From innovation in teaching and learning to questions of governance and policies, six expert groups work on different subjects along the scope of e-learning. They discuss crucial questions and develop benchmarks as well as recommendations for universities and policy makers. The Forum especially aims to increase the visibility of digital teaching and learning and to promote the open discourse on the subject.
Hochschulforum Digitalisierung is an initiative by Centrum für Hochschulentwicklung, Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft and the German Rectors' Conference. It is financed by Germany's federal ministry of education and research and closely cooperates with representatives of the federal states.
