Yarra Leisure offers several programs tailored to the older adult. Living Longer Living Stronger is an integral part of the programs we deliver.
Living Longer Living Stronger is a Council on the Ageing (COTA) endorsed strength training program for people over 50.
Yarra City Council was named the Metropolitan Provider of the Year at the inaugural Strength Training for Older People Innovation Awards 2009 for its Living Longer Living Stronger program.
The program is sessional, which means you can attend whatever session suits you. Sessions are held at Collingwood Leisure Centre, Fitzroy Swimming Pool and Richmond Recreation Centre.
Without intervention, muscle strength declines with age
Falls are the leading cause of all injury related hospitalisation for people over 65yrs in Australia
In 1997/98, 45,649 people over 65yrs were hospitalised
In 1995, 827 people died from fall-related injuries
Age related muscle decline and the related consequences are a common cause of falls
Women from the age of 35yrs, lose up to 1% of their bone mass per year, this loss accelerates rapidly after menopause
Half of all Australian women over 60yrs are at risk of osteoporosis
Approximately 40% or 533,268 Victorian's over 50 yrs have Diabetes or Impaired Glucose Tolerance which increases the risk of Diabetes
Medical Research has proven that strength training will regain and maintain muscle strength, preserve bone density, improve strength, balance, gait, flexibility and co-ordination, which then improves the ability to lift, walk, bend, climb stairs and enjoy life.
We will guide you to develop safe strength training techniques and also encourage you to progressively increase the workload to maximise your strength capabilities.
Participants must have a certificate from their doctor which states they are fit to participate. This letter or certificate should be brought to the assessment appointment. A medical consent form is also required to be completed and brought to the assessment appointment. Living Longer Living Stronger medical consent form (113.87 KB)
An assessment is required with a Yarra Leisure gym instructor – outside the hours of the LLLS session. During this appointment a health assessment form is completed and the instructor will discuss any specific health issue to be addressed, and an exercise program is written appropriate to that individual.
There is a one off fee for the assessment, and then sessions can be purchased on a casual basis or a session pass of 10 or 25 visits can be purchased.
The program is sessional, which means you can attend whatever session suits you. Sessions are held at Collingwood Leisure Centre, Fitzroy Swimming Pool and Richmond Recreation Centre.

United Nations Watercourses Convention Enters Into Force
Landmark global framework on fresh water to improve water security, conflict resolution and cooperation across borders.
The first global framework on fresh water and the world's only global framework for transboundary cooperation, endorsed by the General Assembly of the United Nations, has officially entered into force. Currently, there are 276 transboundary freshwater lake and river basins worldwide, but only 40% are governed by agreements. Where agreements exist, 80% involve only two countries, even though other states may also be part of the watercourse in question.
The Convention will standardize one set of criteria for which all countries with international river basins and transboundary waters abide, ensuring more practical management globally. These criteria include defining the subjects that countries should discuss on their shared waters, facilitating the process of transboundary cooperation and holding governments accountable to their own countries and regions.

A couple of weeks ago, our dear Britney Spears celebrated her 30th birthday. This week, Britney's loverman Jason Trawick celebrated his 40th birthday … and in honor of his turning the big 4-0, Britney presented him with a pretty kick-ass gift. As you may know, Jason rode a pretty sweet motorcycle in Britney's music video for Criminal. He looked so good on the bike that Britney decided to buy him one of his own. Check out Jason's new toy below.
Poor Jason he has less than 5 hours left to be in his 30s. I have a big surprise for him tomorrow. Xxoo / Hbday Jason! He looked so cool in the video, that I had to get him a new motorcycle. / Check out this new Confederate Bike I got him!
Hot damn. A hot bike for her hot man. I can't wait to see Jason tooling around on this sweet bike, hopefully soon. Let's send all of our Birthday Lurve to Jason Trawick today! Woot!!

Outside of the 4th Quarter, Eli has never been a "Dominate" QB. He's been great for our team, but he doesn't control games like his brother does. He's the best at 2 minute drills, but a first ballot guy has to be 60 minutes of non-stop elite. Not this bi-polar crap he goes through every November and Early December.
I can't wait til Eli retires so you guys can stop having this same old tired discussion over and over again.
ohhhh, people, people.
i'm not usually the 'i told you so type', but i'll be (unfortunately) waiting for the day Eli retires and we get so see what his replacement is capable, or more accurately, not capable of.
We seriously won't know what we had until its gone.
I agree with an earlier poster... Why would Simms even go there? But I do agree Eli is not elite. Maybe if he had more seasons like last year, but lets face it an elite QB can carry a team when everyone else is playing poorly, and we haven't seen that in the last three or four weeks for sure. Eli is a very good QB, but he works within a system.
Eli is not consistently "Elite". He has elite periods but also has periods of mind boggleing ineptitude.
I believe when his career is done this conversation will still rage but it will rage with him in Canton either way...
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch

HeraldHomes real estate editor Penny Lewis takes a look back at some of her favourite listings of last year.
This Parnell house's discreet exterior reveals a surprising interior.
The 1980s meant mixed fortunes for architecture in Auckland. On the downside, historic buildings were demolished in the dead of night. On the upside were some iconic buildings, such as this house, designed in 1984 by David Mitchell for art patrons and philanthropists Alan and Jenny Gibbs.
The Gibbs house won a New Zealand Institute of Architects national award in 1986 and is recognised as one of the most architecturally significant buildings of its era. It has appeared in numerous books and magazines.
The layout of the house has the main living areas and bedrooms in a northern two-storey section, linked by a conservatory to two-level, self-contained accommodation with its own access.
David says the house "is not spectacular from the street. We tried to make it quiet to approach and a surprise to enter".
Today, David says he feels "fine about the house - it's good, to be frank". He notes in particular its "big, lofty living room with the silver ceiling and the way the light reflects around the room".
When current owners Michael and Jane bought the house they commissioned David to design a new kitchen (this time, with timber), and replace the original sideboards and other storage that previous owners had removed.
What hasn't changed is the appeal of the home's duality, 28 years after it was built. The solidity of its construction - filled concrete block walls, slate-topped concrete floors and marble and stone finishes - is contrasted with a lightness of touch and generous sense of space, with invisible steel frames supporting significant spans. Outside on the terrace, a highly visible steel beam supports a void.
Despite this home's enduring role as art, it functions as a place to live comfortably. There is a further bedroom upstairs in this part of the house, which opens onto a balcony and the reflection pool.
The linking conservatory dining room is great for dinner parties or winter breakfasts, with French doors that open to an expanse of lawn and an English-style garden.
Other parts of the large garden include subtropical plants, mature puriri and pohutukawa. There is a swimming pool and spa to enjoy, plus a gym and a sauna.
1 Judges Bay Rd, Parnell
Size: Land 1300sq m, house approx 473sq m.
Price: Listed at $7.5 million but since withdrawn from sale.
Schools: Parnell District School, Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls' Grammar.
Features: Renowned house designed by architect David Mitchell. Recipient of NZIA national award. Concrete construction, with self-contained accommodation and expansive gardens, pool and spa. Private and secure.

Preds Defeat Avalanche Despite Bad Defense
The Predators came out of the gate controlling the play, but Colorado was the first team to capitalize. Kevin Porter scored for the Avalanche to give them the lead at 11:05 of the 1st period. However, Shea Weber would diminish that lead 11 seconds later when he put a nice wrist shot on goal from the point and beat Peter Budaj.
Martin Erat got things started off in the 2nd period with a power-play goal that he jammed home. David Jones scored midway through the 2nd period to tie it 2-2. The rest of the period would go without any goals.
In the 3rd period, Pekka Rinne let up a really weak goal to Matt Duchene. Duchene slapped one from the right circle and it beat Rinne. That sort of thing doesn't happen often to the Finnish goalie, but it didn't end up hurting the Preds tonight. Patric Hornqvist would tie it at three with a shot from the slot, and Cody Franson scored the game-winner from the point on a snapshot that trickled past Budaj. David Legwand would add an empty netter that Mike Fisher would assist on to get his first point as a Predator
The Preds played a very strong offensive game tonight but the defense was not there. There were several turnovers tonight and several miscommunications that normally don't happen.
Mike Fisher played a solid game in his debut for the Preds. He was a plus-2, had an assist, got a penalty, and went 12 for 16 in the faceoff dot.
Marcel Goc was a scratch for tonight's game. It's good to see that he wasn't put on the injured list, but I did expect hime to play tonight. All of the indications were that he "wasn't hurt."
Peter Forsberg did not have a good game in his return to Nashville tonight. He took two really stupid penalties and was sloppy.
Pekka Rinne did not have his best game tonight, but the offense was there to bail him out. It's about time he was repaid a little. He bails the offense out all the time.
The crowd was a sellout tonight but was not loud at all until the third period standing ovation. It was really almost depressing for most of the game of how little the crowd was into it. The fans are a big part of the game, whether you know it or not. The standing O was needed to put a little jump into the building. That's 3 times it's been done in the last 5 home games though. I understand the meaning behind it and it was probably necessary for all 3 games, but we run the risk of overdoing it if we continue. Before long, it won't have any significant meaning behind it.
Overall, the Preds did not play their best game but played good enough to get the two points. That's really all that matters, and now they have regained the 4th position on the Western Conference. The Preds will host the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night at Bridgestone Arena.

How is a deafening cheer in a tight game ever bad or overused? Yes the crowd was dead till then but there were no fights, few penalties/powerplays, and generally sloppy game.ReplyDelete

I wonder what Fisher thought of the 'O'ReplyDelete
@Brenthrax I'm not saying it's a bad thing. I love the standing ovations. It's a thing that makes Nashville unique. But the point behind them is to get the team up and make them elevate their game. I'm just wondering whether or not it would still have that impact on them if we did it every game. As far as what Fisher thought of the ovation, he loved it. He made a comment about how it was like playing in Canada, which is a good thing.ReplyDelete

I didn't like that this was a read only format. The pages were copied from a book, and it could have been laid out much better. (maybe a description posted In the advertisement of the class would be helpful). good info, but the education piece was lacking.
Very interesting read as it relates to my job in incentives around managing cholesterol. Very good!
This was a great overview. Very easy to follow.
great refresher on cholesterol and the efeects of exercise
Very informative
I wish the text wasn't in PDF. I had to print it out to read it since the text was small and I got a headache trying to read it online and follow the columns. Convert it to paragraphs in one column instead of multiple columns.

text: I think you're on the right track towards natural mite control. SBB's are a must- they can destroy around 5-10% of the varroa in a hive per month. Imagine losing 10% of your (new) bees every month... it would be hard for them to build up much. I like using the small-cell Pierco frames, but I really don't know for sure if that helps. I've read that fewer mites emerge from smaller cells, but I don't have any personal experience. I do have experience with russians (I bought them in 2000 and have had them since chem-free). I'm sold on them because they have NO problems with T-mites (unlike the few italian and buckfast I have). And the are tolerant of varroa mites. I think partially it's because they're a little more aggressive towards grooming. It's important that bees completely stop brood production at least for a few weeks to kill off last years mites. If you start the year with a relatively high mite population, look out. This may be one trick the russians have over other races. I do have one russian hive however, that had sriveled-winged bees coming out of it the other day, so I'll be interested to see if they make it next year. I may have made a mistake by feeding the bees throughout winter- they may have continued the brood cycle. I have 3 NWCarniolans which did good last year and appear to be similar to the russians (no T-mites and good varroa control for first year). I just like the fact that russians haven't been tampered with... haven't been bred to be more mild(less varroa resistant).

Miglen's hospitality has been excellent, starting from the first online communications to the time we were at his flat: always helpful and answering within a few minutes.
The room has everything you may need for a few days vacation, including kitchen use. No frills, but nothing missing.
Some may say that Omonia is not the nicest area of Athens, but it's safe enough and very well located to walk almost everywhere: Syntagma, Monastiraki, Thiseo and the Akropolis are all reachable in 10-15 minutes walk. And there are 24 hours shops right around the corner in case you forgot to buy something.
Absolutely recommended, and I would definitely book again at Miglen for my next trip to Athen.
The room was well arranged and we had a good stay. We arrived at 22:00 but this was now problem. Miglen did send clear descriptions on how to get to the place from the airport and therefore it was very easy to find.
All the main attractions in Athens were to be reached by foot easily.
The place was along a very busy road and therefore a bit noisy but that is of course part of being in the city
During our 8 day vacation we had a room here on the 6th floor with a new air conditioning system which was very pleasant. The WiFi connection wasn`t the best from our room, but in the main room it was perfect. Omonia is one of the worst area`s of Athens but the Police is very active at night. If you travel back before 0:00 its perfectly doable.
Miglen is very nice . His sister also . They gived us a map and explained us all the things to see at Athènes . Thank you very much .
Yes, it is budget accommodation and for €24 a night, you can't expect the Hilton, but the accommodation was comfortable, clean and not crowded. And a basic breakfast with strong coffee to kickstart the day was included in the rent. Moreover, Miglen and his sister were the perfect hosts. Miglen spent an hour telling me the best things to see in Athens and how to get to each one, and great places to eat locally. He even arranged for my dirty laundry to be washed and dried at no cost. This is a service he offers all his guests. All the main tourist must sees, including the Acropolis and Agora, were within easy walking distance. Although located close to Omanoia Square, which does not have a great reputation, never did I feel unsafe walking around night or day as there were always plenty of people about. If you want budget accommodation with great hosts, I can highly recommend this accommodation.
Had a great 3-day stay there. Perfect for using as a base to visit the center of Athens. The neighborhood is (especially at night) not the best, but never felt unsafe. The included breakfast was also nice.
Thanks for the stay Miglen, and nice of you to come pick us up at Omonia! :)
thank you to miglen. the rooms was very closed to the acropolis, so it was easy to us to visit the place and take the plane in the afternoon.
super Service !!! bravo to you Miglen. you do the best for your clients. taleme to chronou ;)

my grandpa died tragically when he accidently stepped through a suicide door.
by nathaniel spritzner November 20, 2005
Suicide doors are automobile doors that are hinged on the edges closer to the back of the vehicle. The name refers to the danger of such a door being hit by another vehicle while parked at the curb--slamming an open door shut with enough force to kill.
The 1966 Lincoln Continental in <i>The Matrix</i> had Suicide Doors.

Car doors that open backwards. In the early 1900s most cars were sold to elderly because they were the only people who could afford them. The term suicide door originated before Drinking and Driving became illegal.
While the car was still moving, an intoxicated driver would open the door to vomit and would be pulled out of the vehicle.

Mike Hubbell
Commencement Close-up: Mike Hubbell's UTSA degree adds even more power to his life
(May 11, 2005)--Graduating senior Mike Hubbell is a busy but happy man. The UTSA psychology degree he will receive this weekend fills out a resume of impressive skills and pursuits.
Hubbell worked for City Public Service from 1989 to 2001 as a power plant operator, during which time he earned an associate degree in power plant technology from Bismarck State College in North Dakota.
As a power plant operator, he noticed the industry lacked an easy-to-use guide for power supply system operations. To fill the void, he wrote the book, "The Fundamentals of Power Generation," which will be published this year.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Hubbell also utilized his knowledge of power systems to make his home more energy efficient, reducing his energy bill by 60 percent. "I'd like to work with UTSA on implementing some more energy efficient technologies as well," he said.
Hubbell currently works as an online instructor for Bismarck State College and teaches five classes on power plant technology. He is a staunch advocate of online instruction. "I like being an online instructor. I can take my classroom with me wherever I go," he said.
With his knowledge of the power industry, a psychology degree from UTSA may seem out of place, but it simply follows a new bend in the path of his life.
After leaving City Public Service in 2001, Hubbell began work with Baptist Health System as a registration specialist. While working at a hospital, he met a diabetes patient who changed his outlook on health care. The patient was about to lose a limb and was suffering from depression. Her daughter turned to Hubbell for help in determining her mother's options. He was able to reach out by talking with the mother and helped ease the decision-making process for the family.
"The experience really changed me," he said. "I want to be able to help more people like that."
Hubbell plans to pursue graduate studies with research interests involving the use of computers for amputee and palsy rehabilitation.
An involved student, Hubbell is an officer in the UTSA Student Psychology Association, the Society for Undergraduates in Neuroscience and Voices for Planned Parenthood, as well as a member of the Electric Providers Coalition for Education.
Additionally, he plans to continue teaching, developing and taking courses with Bismarck State College in power plant technology.
It's ambitious, but it's a way for the former electrical plant operator to further empower himself and others.

MAKERS Adds Groundbreakers from TV, Auto Racing
Jul 11, 2012
This week's additions to the MAKERS.com showcase of trailblazing women includes an actress who broke ground in her role on Star Trek and a race car driver who was the fourth woman to compete in the Indy 500.
Nichelle Nichols is an American actress and singer whose legendary role as Lieutenant Uhura on the TV series Star Trek was thought by Dr. Martin Luther King to be "the first non-stereotypical role portrayed by a black woman in television history." After the cancellation of Star Trek, Nichols volunteered with NASA in a special project to recruit minority and female personnel.
As an American auto racing driver, Danica Patrick is one of the most famous and recognizable female athletes in the world. She's the only woman to ever win the IndyCar series and holds the highest finish by a woman – third place – at the Indianapolis 500.
Learn more about Danica by watching this video:

Spring has been slow in coming this year. We had 17 inches of wet snow Sunday and Monday. More is forecast in a couple days without much warming. The moisture is great and when the weather breaks, we may have the mother of all fruit blooms!! I called yesterday and delayed my queen shipment a week and hope I don't have to postpone again. My bees will be in oranges for a couple more weeks before they get shipped home. I don't see that I will be able to get a semi in my pasture given all the snow that has to melt before the soil thaws and dries out so I'll be shuttling them out there for my annual splitting in a smaller vehicle. Extra work but the conditions are looking good for a strong start for the 2013 season.
How's it looking in your summer spots? You cold and wet too Ian?

Lovely CordNovember 2, 2013
I love this cord. I had previously purchased similar cord from another vendor, but their color selection was very poor. I was delighted when I found out that Artbeads started carrying this type of cord and that their color selection was so beautiful. This cord is not stiff, like some waxed cords may be. However, it holds its shape and it has a lovely discreet sheen to it. I dip the tips in clear nail polish, to make them a little stiff so I can pass the cord through beads. I also use a tiny dot of glue on end knots.I use the 1mm size and I am making very dainty macrame bracelets with this cord. When I want a thicker bracelet, I double the cord. I also use it to make delicate necklaces. The first time, I purchased several colors: brown, purple, green, etc. My very favorite color is strawberry pink. Today I am coming back for more.

The cause of Chagas disease is the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted to humans from a bite from an insect known as the triatomine bug. These insects can become infected by T. cruzi when they ingest blood from an animal already infected with the parasite.
Triatomine bugs live primarily in mud, thatch or adobe huts in Mexico, South America and Central America. They hide in crevices in the walls or roof during the day, then come out at night — often feeding on sleeping humans.
Infected bugs defecate after feeding, leaving behind T. cruzi parasites on the skin. The parasites can then enter your body through your eyes, mouth, a cut or scratch, or the wound from the bug's bite.
Scratching or rubbing the bite site helps the parasites enter your body. Once in your body, the parasites multiply and spread.

In order to bring greater awareness to the issue of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the United States Senate designated June 27th as National PTSD Awareness Day. In addition, June has been designated as PTSD Awareness Month by the National Center for PTSD (NCPTSD).
PTSD is a mental health problem that can occur after someone has been exposed to a single traumatic event or multiple traumatic events, such as sexual or physical assault, natural or man-made disaster, and war-related combat stress. Symptoms of PTSD include persistent intrusive thoughts and distressing dreams about the traumatic event, triggered emotional responses to reminders of the trauma, efforts to avoid thinking or talking about the trauma, and persistent hypervigilance for cues that indicate additional danger or trauma re-occurring.
The mission of the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) is to raise awareness about child traumatic stress. The NCTSN joins this effort to raise awareness about PTSD. We offer the following resources to help educate individuals, families, professionals, policy makers, and communities about the significant impact that PTSD has on men, women, and children. Effective psychological interventions and drug treatments are available to assist those who suffer with PTSD to heal from their traumas and to lead healthy, productive lives.

This the guy doing the comparision, has no clue what he is talking about. He provided missleading and just plan WRONG information about the trailblazer SS. Just because the brakes don't say BREMBO oon them does not mean they are stock. These are 2 piston calipers, from the CORVETTE. Also he stated there is no Navigation Availible on the SS, WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!!! Guess I got lucky when I bought mine, because I do have one in the SS. There are many false statements. I am dissapointed with this review to the point where I will be canelling my subscription. This "KID" how no idea about cars nor how to do a review. A review is supposed to be done on FACTS, not what one "THINKS" Automobile Mag, you need to fire this guy and hiring someone who knows cars and trucks, not skateboards.
I couldn't agree more. This kid should learn proper english first if he is going to be conducting reviews for a mass audience (last time I checked "um" isn't a word). Not only are his facts wrong (the STR-8 has a 5-speed) but he also said he doesn't understand these vehicles - he said if you need the space get a station wagon and if you need speed get a sports car. What if you need both? This kid was an idiot and I'm suprised Automobile would actually put this unprofessional review on their website.
Oh Jeeze...just what I wanted to watch...a kid slap-shifting a full size SUV with an automatic while spouting inaccurate and biased opinions on two vehicles that he admits he doesn't understand. Was this a video to showcase the vehicles, or just an opportunity for him to expose his ignorance? Any video of the interior without him front and center? Do these SUVs have a rear hatch? Could we maybe have seen some of the interior aft of the front seats? What were the dimensions? Lift-in height? Towing capacities? Will those snug-fitting sport seats allow you to turn and lavish even the smallest amount of attention to the kids in the back seat? Doesn't the Jeep have Bluetooth, and the Trailblazer have OnStar and a self-leveling rear air-suspension?Nah...they've got big engines, big air-dams, and big rims. Thank god they don't have big wings, or we could have listened to a 5 minute dissertation on on why single element wings are archaic and outdated.Is this really a valid comparison, or did someone hack your website?
Re: "if you need space get a station wagon and if you need speed get a sports car. What if you need both?"I say get a sports wagon from BMW or Mercedes--E63 anyone?--but if that's too rich for your blood, go for a Mazda 6 or Saab 9-3. Tons more livable and way more fun than any five-passenger SUV. But maybe that's just me.
Yea, yea, yea. He's kinda cute though, ain't he?
We have nudie pics of Stu here at the office that you can have for like 10 bucks.
Is that all I'm worth to you Jason? I couldn't even buy a skateboard with that money.
Lemme send y'all a little extra for that skateboard so's you can mebbe take a couple shots with it, mhmm...
SRT8 Cherokee is a mean looking you know what out on the interstate.

This story originally appeared in the June 18, 2004 issue of the Boston Phoenix.
A note on this story
This is the first in a series of planned collaborations between the Boston Phoenix and the Boston University Investigative Journalism Project, a graduate seminar led by professors Dick Lehr and Mitchell Zuckoff. This story was written and reported by their students Dori Berman, Carrie Lock, Richard Rainey, and Lindsay Taub.The names of children and their relatives appearing in this article are pseudonyms.
IF HE HAD pled guilty to lesser charges, Bernard Baran would be a free man today.
But because he denied that he committed the multiple acts of child abuse of which he was accused, Baran couldn't cut his losses. He felt he couldn't plead guilty to something he didn't do.
Today, almost 20 years later, Baran sits in Bridgewater State Prison, waiting for a new team of lawyers to reopen his case and establish that he was a man falsely accused. As awareness grows in Massachusetts and throughout the nation that the innocent are sometimes unjustly convicted, Baran hopes for another chance at justice.
Hope — and the courts — are all he has.
ON SATURDAY, October 7, 1984, Bernard Baran was at a friend's house when the phone rang.
It was his friend's sister, and she sounded anxious. She was worried about her daughter, Tina, who attended the Early Childhood Development Center, in Pittsfield, where Baran worked as a teacher's aide.
"Bernie," she said, "I heard they're investigating some monster at the day care for molesting kids. Can you keep an eye out for Tina?"
Baran agreed, and quickly got off the line. Tina's mother saw him as a protector, but Baran knew that investigators thought otherwise. He hung up and turned to his friend.
"Will you tell her? I can't do it," Baran recalls saying that day, 20 years ago. "This monster they're talking about is me."
Over the next four months, Baran, at that time a slender, 19-year-old high-school dropout, looked on helplessly as his life was dissected, then destroyed. He was arrested, tried, and convicted of abhorrent crimes. A gentle soul who enjoyed taking care of children, Baran came to be seen as a predator who fondled and sodomized more than a dozen young boys and girls in the classrooms, bathrooms, and back-yard shed of the day-care center where he worked.
Baran's conviction was the first in a wave of day-care-abuse cases that swept the country in the 1980s. In Manhattan Beach, California, several members of the McMartin family were tried for sexually abusing more than 40 children in satanic rituals. In Malden, the infamous Fells Acres day-care case saw Gerald "Tooky" Amirault convicted of similarly hideous crimes against children. While the scrutiny left all day-care workers susceptible to accusations, Baran was particularly vulnerable. He was gay.

I love that Oprah Winfrey has lived the life of a pauper, a prince and a prophet. I admire that, against all odds, Oprah has influenced pop culture while inspiring millions of people around the world to develop, believe and understand the power of their own present.
My Oprah confession: I would do anything for a chance to meet her. I'd wear a Tina Turner wig for a year, I'd eat a 67-pound wagon worth of fat, or I'd quit my radio job hosting PEAK Mornings for a chance to ugly cry in front of my television hero: Oprah Winfrey.
I found out Vancouver's Oprah Confessions were a little different: some good, some bad, and some ugly. For a week, 102.7 The Peak gave away tickets to "An Inspirational Evening with Oprah Winfrey" in exchange for listeners' Oprah Confessions.
Here are some of my favorites:
- "I love Oprah so much that I name every inanimate item (my car, bike, coffee machine, etc.) Gayle." — Tessa, Vancouver
- "I confess that I think Oprah is totally overrated but my stepmom loves her and I need the brownie points!" — Victoria, Vancouver
- "When I was a little girl in 1987, my Mom and I watched Oprah every day after school. I loved Oprah so much (she was my idol) that for Halloween this little freckled red head demanded my Mom dress me up like my Oprah. My Mom tried so hard to talk me out of it but I insisted - so she teased my red curls as big as she could and tried her best to cover my freckles, gave me long drop earning, shoulder pads but to my disappointment I looked nothing like Oprah. Near tears I convinced her to put some dark paint on my face (I know...I know..I was 8!!!). For me that did the trick and I happily headed out to trick or treat with the neighbourhood kids with only a couple of strange looks from the neighbours." — Shannon, Port Moody
- "My fondest Oprah moments were watching with my Grandma (who wouldn't miss a show) - laughing, sometimes crying, and usually folding laundry. My grandma, still to this day, doesn't wear earrings because someone 20 years ago on the Oprah show said you shouldn't, if you wear glasses... this trend stubbornly continues with her hair style and clothing choices. Similar to the talk show legend, my Grandmother has been through a series of immense hardships in her life and continues to give the world to her family and friends. If we could share this with her it would be giving back to someone who has given so much in her life." — Sarah, Vancouver
- "Pickle brine is my all-time favourite beverage. I'd rather win a jar of pickle brine than go to Oprah's show." — Serisa, Vancouver
- "There is no one on the planet I loathe more than Oprah Winfrey. Some might be appalled by that but I don't care. I am a proud Oprah hater!! However, my sweet mother loves Oprah and she would LOVE me forever if I won some tickets for her. I am also very poor and can't afford them. Although few can - have you seen the prices? Only Oprah herself might be able to afford to go!! Pretty please with sugar on top? I would be willing to sit through Oprah Winfrey for my momma. If that's not love then I surely don't know what love is." — Rae-Ann, Vancouver
- "I'm winning these for my mom because she loves Oprah. In fact, one year, at Christmas dinner, in the folly of my youth, I mocked Oprah. You know what my mom did? My mom, being the fan that she is, asked me to go home. That's right. She kicked her own daughter out on Christmas, for Oprah. That's how big of a fan she is. The biggest secret of all is, now that I'm older, I'm kind of a fan myself. But don't tell my mom that. She's already right about too many things." — Joanna, Vancouver

2great beds, english reception and delicious cheese on breakfast!! :) enjoy everyone, Jan is a great Home-Boss:)
Great room and very good location. To the city center you need to walk more than 15 minutes and therefore has everything near. Our room was nice and equipped with everything you need in the bedroom and the kitchen was also clean. It has not many kitchens utensils, but that is also a hotel and supermarket's 5 minutes from the hotel.The bathroom was also very nice and the shower spacious. I would recommend the room further, because really everything was there, which one could need undwir have had joyful conscience a nice time at the hotel and of course in Prague.
Tolles zimmer und sehr gute Lage. Zur Innenstadt braucht man zu Fuß maximal 15 Minuten und hat somit alles in der nähe. Unser Zimmer war schön und mit allem, was man im Schlafzimmer benötigt und die Küche war auch sauber. Man hat keine zahlreichen Küchen Utensilien, aber das ist ja auch ein hotel und Supermärkte gibt's 5 Minuten vom hotel entfernt.Das Bad war auch sehr schön und die dusche geräumig. Ich kann das zimmer weiter empfehlen, da wirklich alles da war, was man benötigen konnte undwir haben frohen Gewissens eine schöne zeit im hotel und natürlich in Prag gehabt.
Nice big rooms (2 rooms and a bathroom). The one room had a stove & kitchen utilities. Its more like a hostel, but everything was clean. Close to downtown. The breakfast was a nice extra. Good value for that price.

Have fun in the beautiful city of Prague.

Only in Japan: Jerome Le Banner vs. Josh Barnett Set for August
- Published in Kickboxing
I'm not joking, Josh Barnett and Jerome Le Banner will square off on August 27th at the Ryogoku Kokugikan -- Japan's Sumo Hall, and this bout between the titans will be for a world championship. Who is promoting this bout? None other than Antonio Inoki, the grandfather of MMA in Japan and a pro wrestling celebrity. It is hard to believe that the MMA world and the Kickboxing world will be colliding like this, until you realize that it is under Inoki's IGF banner, which is professional wrestling.
Yes, Josh Barnett of Strikeforce fame will take on Jerome Le Banner of K-1 fame to declare the first IGF World Champion in August. IGF ran a tournament on the 10th in Japan that involved some pretty big names, including Ray Sefo, Eric Hammer, Josh Barnett, Jerome Le Banner and Bobby Lashley. Eric Hammer tapped Ray Sefo out in the qualifying round with an armbar, Josh Barnett tapped Bobby Lashley out with an armbar as well in the semi-finals. Hammer met Jerome Le Banner in the semi-finals by knocking him down five times, which sets up Barnett vs. Le Banner in the finals.
Something about this just reeks of awesomeness.

|Date (year)
|Context (location, situation, characteristics)
|School programme
|Identified issues / challenges related to water management
|Little awareness of water purification and insufficient attention on sanitation and hygiene at the school level
|Description of the actions: cooperation mechanisms, initiatives, and results / current situation
|The workshop was organized under the theme of "United Nations International Year of Water Cooperation 2013" for students above grade 8 in both rural schools in the Daraniyagala division of the Dehiowita Education Zone, Sri Lanka. The programme received the patronnage of the Future of Food Academic Journal in the University of Kassel, Germany. There were 60 students and 9 teachers actively participating in the programme. Other teachers cooperated indirectly in the field work and gave additional support during the programme. The programme schedule followed a fruitful work plan, including training and lectures. Mr. Sisira Saddhamangala Withanachchi conducted the training workshop on behalf of the Future of Food and other lectures were conducted by Dilanka Edirimann from the University of Perdeniya. The lecture focused mainly on the following themes: 1. What is the United Nations and the UNESCO 2. Why water issues are becoming increasingly important in the world 3. Background about the basin, water and water availability in the region 4. Food production/agriculture and health risk 5. Garbage collection and categorization 6. Sanitation issues, Dengue epidemic and value of health habits Afterward, the students were grouped into 11 teams of 5 to 7 students each. Each grouped was named after one of the main rivers in the world. Groups participated in several projects in the afternoon: 1. Village awareness groups – went house to house in the village 2. Observatory group of water quality in the water channel in the village Finally, all groups shared their field experiences in a general meeting. All groups expressed their wishes to continue this awareness programme at the household and village scale.
|How were the challenges overcome?
|Students could understand the issues related to sanitation, water purification as well as protecting water catchment area, as well as the methods that could help resolve such issues, particularly as regards to Deraniyagala, an upstream area of main rivers.
|What are the success factors?
|Established "water circle" as a school student voluntary association. Getting the local community involved, so that residents of the neighborhoods near the school were aware of the need to clean up, manage garbage and avoid polluting water resources.
|Lessons learnt

My son asked for this book and was very pleased to receive as a gift....
Robert Jordan (October 17, 1948-September 16, 2007), a native of Charleston, South Carolina, was the author of the bestselling The Wheel of Time®, with millions of books in print.
BRANDON SANDERSON grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. He lives in Utah with his wife and children and teaches creative writing at Brigham Young University. In addition to completing Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time®, he is the author of such bestsellers as the Mistborn trilogy, Warbreaker, The Alloy of Law, The Way of Kings,Rithmatist, and Steelheart. He won the 2013 Hugo Award for "The Emperor's Soul," a novella set in the world of his acclaimed first novel,Elantris.
Since 1990, when Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time® burst on the world with its first book,The Eye of the World, readers have been anticipating the final scenes of this extraordinary saga, which has sold over forty million copies in over thirty languages.
When Robert Jordan died in 2007, all feared that these concluding scenes would never be written. But working from notes and partials left by Jordan, established fantasy writer Brandon Sanderson stepped in to complete the masterwork. WithThe Gathering Storm (Book 12) and Towers of Midnight (Book 13) behind him, both of which were # 1New York Times hardcover bestsellers, Sanderson now re-creates the vision that Robert Jordan left behind.
Edited by Jordan's widow, who edited all of Jordan's books, A Memory of Light will delight, enthrall, and deeply satisfy all of Jordan's legions of readers.
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass.
What was, what will be, and what is,
may yet fall under the Shadow.

The cost of the refurbished phone equals about 4 months of premiums. The model phone I have carries a deductible of $199. Does anyone have any experience with phone insurance and in your opinion is it worth the cost?
