55 Monumental Ways To Enjoy Life's Greatest Pleasures
"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land, there is no other life but this." ~Henry David Thoreau
Have you ever wondered what would be possible if you could press a button and stop time? With time stopped you would be able to squeeze as much pleasure out of every morsel of food, delicious kiss, majestic mountain or awe inspiring sunrise. These are things that most of us rush through in life, because we're too busy, or off chasing the next best thing. We never find the next best thing, because we're always searching, instead of appreciating all the pleasures that life has already laid out for us.
Today I share with you the secret of forgetting the past, eliminating the future, all within the only time which really exists- now. The key is to recognize what pleasure really is, because if we can see what it truly is, we can truly stop, become present, and enjoy it. Keep reading to learn the identity of the 5 levels of pleasure of human existence.
The Five Levels of Pleasure Worth Being Present For
5. Physical and Material Pleasure
This level of pleasure is one that we all enjoy, it's anything that we experience with our fives senses. Such as delicious food, great music, a great view, beautiful clothes, a pleasant perfume. The awesome thing is that this is just the beginning, and actually the lowest of the five levels of pleasure. So if you like this it's just going to get better! But wait, the point is to really stay present and enjoy this level too!
In order to squeeze the most out of the fifth level of pleasure:
- Enjoy Your Taste. This world is absolutely full of foods and drinks that have an awesome taste. It's considered a sin to not try a new fruit, because we are lucky enough to have all these amazing fruits, instead of nutrient filled yuck. So it is our duty to try the fruits, the wines, and even the cakes that are available to us. By chewing the food slowly, we can savor every morsel, and enjoy this basic pleasure that is available to us.
- Enjoy Your Hearing. Our ears are such an incredible sense. It allows us to hear a great symphony, the cries of our young child, the intimate whispers of our significant other, and to even find our way around in the dark. It is our duty to enjoy great music and great conversations, without thinking about where we need to go to next.
- Enjoy Your Touch. Our skin, fingers and loins were all meant to touch, feel, and experience the pleasures of our lives. We're meant to touch every fabric, play with every new texture, and experience every nuance of loving and embracing each other.
- Enjoy Your Sight. The world isn't one big flat desert. No, it's full of beautiful trees, flowers, gardens, animals, people, sunrises, buildings, paintings, and colors. It is our obligation to appreciate our eyes and look at and enjoy all of these creations.
- Enjoy Your Smell. Our strongest sense is our sense of smell, yet we often take it for granted by not smelling every amazing thing we can get our noses on. There are an infinite number of aromas for us to choose from, from natures flowers, to man's pastries and perfumes, we can smell to our hearts desires. Nothing forges a stronger memory in our mind than smell, so smell, and associate that smell with all things great.
- Enjoy Your Possessions. Whether it's your money, cars, clothes, jewelry, vacation, or home, enjoy it and do not take it for granted. You don't always need the bigger, newer thing. By mastering the art of enjoying what you have, you'll never feel need, and you'll always be happy where you are.
4. Love (not Infatuation)
Infatuation is merely a physical attraction, and it leaves us just as easily as it comes to us. That's not what love is, real love is pretty permanent. You wouldn't expect a parent to stop loving their children, would you? The little secret about real love is that it's not completely simple and easy. It takes making a commitment to each other, REALLY getting to know each other, and investing yourself by putting time and effort into creating a beautiful, delicious relationship. The goal of course is to create a life time of passionate friendship with the person you love.
In order to squeeze the most out of the fourth level of pleasure:
- Get To Know Them. Whether it's your parents, grandparents, siblings, children or significant other the greatest gift you could give them is to listen to them, get to know them, let them express themselves, and support them. You cannot give them full support unless you know what they really want and to find that out you will need to be a proactive listener.
- Learn Together. To make ourselves better is an underlying purpose of our existence. To share this with another, to learn together, to grow together physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually is a magnificent bond forming activity. With every book, class, workshop, talk, experience, journey, or adventure you co-create a relationship that is deeper and stronger than it was before.
- Talk Intimately. Couples often talk for hours when they first meet, but sometimes stop as the novelty of the person wears off. This is where you need to get aware of this and bring the conversations back. Bring them back with family and friends you haven't talked to in awhile. Don't just check in to see how today was, check in to see what they're dreams are and what they're grateful for.
- Kiss and Embrace. Make some eye contact and really embrace each other. Not only is hugging an excellent bond, but when you hug your brain releases oxytocin, a chemical that's also associated with touch and orgasms. Don't rush your kisses, but stop what you're doing and enjoy that kiss with the person you love. It's such a great way to enjoy each other, relieve stress, build self-esteem, and feel well all around.
- Share Sex. So you might want to wait until you are married, but whenever IT happens, you are now sharing one of life's greatest physical pleasures together. I feel like the more people you have sex with, the more you are desensitized to sex as a more meaningful connection. Let's just take the romance out of it for a moment and say that sex is just sex, when you're hot you're hot, and when you're not you're not. The pleasure that you do share when you're both hot can be tremendous, and should be shared together often.
3. A Great Cause
It's hard to imagine giving up true love for anything. Surely no amount of money would justify giving away the love of our life, or our beloved child, right? Well that's not exactly true. We would give up love, children and even our family for a greater cause. In fact, people would do a whole lot in order to live out their life purpose, or to do something that they believe to be the greatest good.
In order to squeeze the most out of the third level of pleasure:
- Save a Life. This doesn't mean you have to find someone that's currently drowning, not literally that is. You can save a life by changing a life, and you can do that by listening, being supportive, offering your time, money, and love in order to feed, empower, educate or in any way enrich someone's life. Few things are more fulfilling than saving a life.
- Create Peace. I'm not talking about joining an army and "creating peace", there are many more passive ways, ways that can bring peace to your nation, and all nations of the world. It includes ending the prejudice, racism, and hate within yourself. Just within yourself. If everyone did this just within themselves than we would have no alternative but peace, right?
- Feed The Hungry. Buy, make, or grow some food for a hungry family. How fulfilling would it be if you found a way to end hunger for hundreds of thousands, millions… all the people in the world? With the amount of food that is wasted, thrown out, or allowed to spoil, we have enough to make sure all the hungry mouths in the world are fed. Even better than giving them food is to teach them how to grow and obtain their own.
- Promote Education. Illiteracy plagues many places in the world. You could mentor, tutor, and find many other ways to donate your time and money to promote education in all parts of the world. Higher education among everyone in the world will likely solve many of the other problems, don't you think?
- Promote CANI. CANI means Constant and Never-ending Improvement. It's one of the things I have commitment myself to doing every day of my life. If you, and everyone you know, and everyone they know, etc. participate in making themselves better, than the rest of the world will follow. It starts with one person, and it spreads when you lead by example.
2. The Power To Create
The power to create is above physical pleasures, above love, above fighting for a great cause. If you believe in God than the reason is that God is the ultimate creator, and by creating, you are getting as close to God's essence as humanly possible. If you aren't a believer, than think of creation as the ultimate act of self-control, where your mind and body are in sync to produce a unique result.
In order to squeeze the most out of the second level of pleasure:
- Paint, Draw, or Sculpt. Your mind takes all of it's experiences and sights, and creates a unique image. You then use your hand and fingers to translate that idea into a real viable painting or sculpture. Congratulations, you have just used the power of self-control in order to create. This act of creation is a high level of pleasure.
- Write Anything. Just put the pen to the paper and start writing. Your experience, knowledge, and ideas will create a new world inside of the realm of your paper. You can transfer monumental ideas, as I try to do with this article, to thousands, if not millions of people.
- Cook a Dish. The power of creating food is often over looked, or dumbed down, by the majority of people who think that food is simply fuel for the body. The few that realize the creative genius that can go into preparing a meal, and considering all the intricacies involved, get to enjoy this pleasure the most.
- Tend a Garden. It's easy enough that nearly anyone can do it, yet it delivers a high level of fulfillment and pleasure. Tend a garden and create life from a seedling into a flower, a fruit, a vegetable, or a big old tree! You get to watch the life and growth of something you yourself put into the soil and took care of.
- Raise a Child Well. While having the baby is one of the easiest things we can do (especially guys), raising this child to be an intelligent, healthy, happy, and well-intentioned human being is a tremendous effort and a cause that many people give their life for. It is, and if it isn't, it should be, every parents goal.
1. A Touch of God
After mastering the other four levels of pleasure there aren't that many new things from which you can gain fulfillment. You can repeatedly do 5-2, and you'll like it, but you'll also seek the ultimate pleasure, which is not just to know the true origin of existence, but to encounter God, source, oneness or whatever it is that you believe in as a superior force.
In order to squeeze the most out of the first level of pleasure:
- Practice Gratitude. This takes the cake as far as creating pleasure in our lives. To be able to really appreciate, and be thankful for all our senses, and the beauty that we are able to experience due to this unique ability. Wake up feeling like a little kid, just bursting out of bed and ready to live!
- Commit to The Great Good. One of the things that I believe to bring the highest level of pleasure is to believe that all people are part of one entity, or unit. From that belief we can commit to improving ourselves, but also to do things for the greatest good of all.
- Know It's Not Just Us. Recognize that you are part of this beautiful world, and that this world is not entirely created by you. You only have power of your present, but you have to appreciate your mortality, humanity, and the scope of the world. Be humbled by this force, whatever it is, that has such a tremendous power to create. Allow yourself to be glorified by the gift that was bared for you and not by a feasible hand.
By the way the cool watch you see in the picture above is The Now Watch. I love it because it's a constant reminder to stop, slow down and enjoy the many pleasures that life has to offer. Instead of letting my mind wander in the past, or get lost in the future, this watch gives me laser sharp focus on the present and appreciate the beauty that is all around me.
"With the past, I have nothing to do; nor with the future. I live now." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Scots have kilts, what do Catalans have?
By Fiona Ortiz
MADRID (Reuters) - When Catalonia's local language was reintroduced in the northern Spanish region's schools three decades ago, Nati Grabiel was on the frontlines of the effort, training teachers to educate in the Catalan tongue.
Today, the 72-year-old retired schoolteacher is on another crusade: trying to convince the world that Catalonia should break away from Spain. She and five other pro-independence senior citizens are travelling to the United States early next year to shoot a film that explains Catalan culture and history.
"There is no going back. No, no, no," says the dynamic, white-haired Grabiel.
Grabiel's cinematic adventure is one of many marketing efforts, including movies, books and web projects, to promote a growing movement to make the region of 7.5 million people - 16 percent of Spain's total - an independent state.
Around half its residents would choose independence in a yes-no breakaway referendum, according to polls, and they are pushing for a vote similar to the one Scotland will hold next year on leaving the United Kingdom.
The central government has resisted the move, saying a referendum would be unconstitutional.
Most Spaniards struggle to understand the campaign for independence, since Catalonia has significant self-governing powers and last year received a financial rescue of billions of euros from Madrid. But many Catalans feel they would not have needed a bailout if their taxes weren't partly used to support poorer regions.
Catalonia's drive for more control over taxes and public spending has gained force in the last two years as all of Spain has undergone painful austerity measures to cut a dangerously high public deficit. Tensions between the region, which makes up a fifth of the Spanish economy, and Madrid over budget and other issues have raised the prospects of a break-up. Continued...

Ever since it became clear that the Stevens Creek Trail was going to extend south of El Camino Real last year, Mountain View residents have been dreaming up uses for the large, previously closed-off meadow along Highway 85 just south of El Camino Real. It now appears that none of those ideas is likely to come to fruition.

This would make a nice place for a lowkey park, lots of places have parks next to freeways, a little green some nice native plants, walking trails and a small playground, it would help of of the not enough parks problem.

The on-ramp to southbound 85 from El Camino should be restored to its original position, now that construction is done. Traffic now has to slow to a crawl for people making the tight turn.

Angel Di Maria signs for Paris Saint-Germain until 2019
Paris Saint-Germain is delighted to announce the signature of Angel Di Maria until June 30, 2019.
Transferred from Manchester United, the Argentine midfielder signed a four-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain, on Wednesday, in the Club offices. Earlier this week, he went to Doha to undergo his medical examination before flying to Paris, on Wednesday, to complete his transfer to the club of the French capital.
At 27 years of age, the Argentine international, from Rosario, began his professional career in the 2005-06 season. World U20 champion in 2007 with the Albiceleste, Angel Di Maria transferred that same year to Benfica where he quickly imposed himself in the starting XI. In 2008, he won Olympic gold with Argentina in Beijing. He has earned 66 caps for Argentina, scoring 15 goals.
In June 2010, he transferred to Real Madrid, with whom he won the Spanish championship (2012), two Copa del Rey (2011, 2014), the Spanish Super Cup (2012) and the UEFA Champions League (2014) in which he shone in the final against Atlético de Madrid.
After one season in England, Angel Di Maria, who has also played 45 UEFA Champions League matches, has decided to join the French Ligue 1 to play his part in Paris Saint-Germain's domestic and European ambitions.
"I am very proud, and can't wait, to wear the colours of Paris Saint-Germain", declared Angel Di Maria. I want to win every competition we enter, both in France and Europe. I want to win the Champions League, which is a dream for all footballers, for a second time. We will do everything we can to bring Europe's biggest trophy to France and the fans of Paris Saint-Germain."
"We are very proud that Angel Di Maria has chosen Paris Saint-Germain", explained Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al Khelaïfi. "He is an incredibly talented player, with a frightening speed and ability to beat opposition players. He adds his name to the club's strong South American community and, above all, the big Paris Saint-Germain family. By signing Angel Di Maria, Paris Saint-Germain is once again showing the club's constant ambition to reach the summits of the European game."

Defending men's champion Laban Moiben is not aiming to lower the course record in the 10th Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon this weekend as he was focusing on only retaining the title.
"I will be happy to win. I am not thinking about the course record. If I am able to break the record, fine. I am not training for it. The conditions can be tough," said the 29-year-old Kenyan who edged out Ethiopian rival Raji Assefa in a photo-finish in last year's race.
This year's line-up among other top runners has the winner of the inaugural race in 2004, South Africa's Hendrick Ramaala, in the fray.

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP 2001-04-26 ASX-SIGNAL-G HOMEX - Melbourne +++++++++++++++++++++++++ CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER'S REVIEW 2001 INTERIM RESULTS The considerable energy that has gone into the process of rebuilding ANZ in recent years, has helped produce another strong financial result in this first half. We have also made good progress in the implementation of our new strategy, which we announced last year. ANZ is now managed as a portfolio of specialist businesses. A unique feature of these results is the disclosure of the earnings from each of the specialised businesses, which provides a greatly increased level of disclosure. It is pleasing to report that most of our businesses are performing strongly, and there is scope for further improvement. Many of these businesses hold leadership positions and have the management and product leadership to grow at a faster rate than the industry, domestically and internationally. This provides us with a portfolio of businesses that is not only performing well but has significant growth opportunities. WE ARE ON TRACK TO DELIVER ON OUR THREE-YEAR FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS Following the success against our previous three-year targets, in October 2000 we announced new commitments for the next three years. We have made good progress against each of these commitments in the first half and are on track to achieve them: MEASURE TARGET MARCH 2001 EPS growth >10% 13% Return on equity >20% 19.6% Cost-income ratio mid 40s 49.4% Inner tier 1 6% 6.2% Credit rating AA category maintained Following the sale of Grindlays last year, earnings from continuing businesses were up 18% on the previous first half and up 10% on the second half of last year. Earnings per share were up 13%, and the interim dividend of 33 cents per share was up 14% from that declared for the first half of last year. Return on equity of 19.6%, up from 17.8%, was achieved through strong earnings performance and our capital management program. The $1 billion buyback announced in April last year is now almost complete. Inner tier 1 capital ratio is now approaching our target of 6%. Once again we improved the cost-income ratio to 49.4% from 51.4%. This is the first time it has been below 50% and positions us well to achieve our new target of mid 40s by September 2003. We were able to hold the increase in costs to 4%, which largely reflected the increase in costs associated with GST and costs from the acquired EFTPOS New Zealand. At the same time we were able to grow assets by 8% and income by 10%. We have continued our prudent approach and reassessed the market value of several investments. As a result we wrote down the carrying value of Panin by $43m, E*Trade by $21m and other internet investments by $20m. These write downs were partially offset by a profit of $65m after tax realised on the sale of our stake in St George Bank, which we sold as it no longer fitted our strategic plans. Risk levels remain stable across the group. The Economic Loss Provision percentage charge was reduced, and non-accrual loans and specific provisions were down. While non-accrual loans increased in Australia, mainly due to sporadic credit situations against which we have made appropriate specific provisions in the first half, we are not yet experiencing a systemic shift in credit quality. We nevertheless remain cautious in our risk approach given the marked slowdown in the economy. IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR NEW STRATEGY IS PROGRESSING WELL Our strategy is based around three themes - specialisation, e-transformation, and growth. Specialisation means we will focus on areas where we have real capability and can deliver a unique experience to our customers. E-transformation requires that we use new internet technologies to revolutionise the way we do banking in the future, whilst maintaining a human face to our customers and to the community. Growth requires us to deliver superior earnings performance by growing revenues faster than system growth, by controlling our costs, by reducing risk, and by controlling capital. It also requires us to position ourselves strategically in faster growing markets and to breakout from current operating paradigms by having the courage to be both bold and different. SPECIALISATION. During the first half, we consolidated smaller profit centres into the main businesses. Additionally in February, we announced that our largest business, General Banking would be split into two new customer businesses - Metrobanking and Regionalbanking. As a result, ANZ now has 16 main specialist business units, each being part of ANZ but also having the freedom to develop within its own competitive space. We believe this will allow a more entrepreneurial spirit within our businesses whilst benefiting from the synergy of cross business collaboration. In line with our earlier commitments we have, for the first time, disclosed the earnings of the main business units. The performance and growth of the businesses are now transparent, and can be monitored by shareholders, customers and by the community. eTransformation is gathering pace. For our customers this is about providing first-class, low-cost internet banking solutions with a personal touch and automated processing of supporting functions to ensure efficient and responsive service. For staff this is about providing a common customer view through all channels and about removing bureaucracy and routine manual activities. For shareholders it means lower costs and higher returns as a result of streamlined straight-through electronic processes. We continued to invest heavily in new technology platforms and have a number of major projects in train such as a new sales and service platform for our branch network, enhanced internet banking, Peoplesoft human resource and general ledger system, and customer value management for our Personal businesses. The implementation of our Windows 2000 platform is now almost complete. Our e-transformation strategy has been assisted by the $361m restructuring charge taken last year, to support a program of 35 discrete initiatives to restructure our technology and operational infrastructure. This program is on track with some $65m of this provision utilised in the first six months. In addition to this our Perform and Grow program has identified several other cost reduction initiatives and a range of revenue enhancement opportunities which we are currently prioritising for action. GROWTH Successful revenue enhancement, combined with cost and risk containment has led to higher than system earnings growth in a significant number of businesses. In the first half, 80% of our specialist business segments had annualised double-digit earnings growth. Over the past few years we have successfully repositioned our portfolio towards higher growth, higher return businesses. This has been particularly successful in Mortgages and Cards, where we have achieved substantial market share increases. However, we continue to be relatively underweight in overall market share of Personal, and there is considerable opportunity for further growth through leveraging the success of Mortgages and Cards across our other businesses. In Corporate we achieved strong revenue growth in Institutional, Global Capital Markets, Global Foreign Exchange and Global Transaction Services. We recognise that the market is focused on the attractiveness of the opportunity in funds management. However, we believe our prime focus lies in the development of our distribution capability across our customer businesses. We have therefore decided to seek an alliance with a global player to develop our position in Investment Management, allowing us to concentrate on the opportunity to service our own customer base with greater choice of product than we could supply on our own. Ensuring earnings growth momentum has also required us to make decisions on investments where the potential has been less than we anticipated. In March we announced the unwinding of our joint venture with OCBC Bank. Despite its initial promise the economic prospects for this proposition became increasingly challenging and both parties made a decision to withdraw at an early stage. Our focus on individual segments and our systematic reallocation of resources should enable us to take advantage of growth opportunities as they present themselves, and to be more agile to respond to changes in their individual marketplaces. This, combined with a breakout cultural environment should be an effective combination and act as a catalyst for significant new growth in future periods. CHANGING THE CULTURE IN ANZ The substantial progress we have made in the rebuilding phase at ANZ over the last few years has created a much stronger foundation for the future. This is a significant step forward, but in conjunction with our new strategy we have set ourselves on a path to create a much stronger, more dynamic and growth oriented company in the years ahead. To achieve this we will need to dramatically transform the culture and working environment at ANZ. Balancing the tensions of specialist businesses within a single entity requires greatly increased openness, flexibility and trust. eTransformation requires us to be lean, agile and tolerant of change. Breakout growth will require passion, boldness, inspiration and much closer relationships with our customers. As an initial step, in the first half we launched "breakout" workshops for management across the company to transform the leadership practices and to help change the overall culture of the organisation. WE ARE WORKING TO EARN THE TRUST OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND THE COMMUNITY While we are rated very highly by our customers in some businesses, particularly Corporate and Institutional Banking, there is much we can do to replicate this perception more broadly across the organisation. Our biggest challenge is with general consumers and with the image of banking in the community. Last week, we announced a range of initiatives, which we believe will begin to make a real difference: * Unlimited fee-free transactions for customers aged 60 or over from their ANZ personal transaction account. The change, effective 1 July 2001, acknowledges the greater reliance that older customers have on face to face banking and the difficulties some experience in adapting to new technology. * A new Customer Charter, which will set clear, benchmarks for the provision of service to customers including commitments on access to services, personal information and an improved complaint resolution process. * Appointment of a senior Customer Advocate to ensure the satisfactory resolution of customer issues and complaints. * Improvements and greater funding for ANZ's community relations program which will become more focused on issues affecting ANZ customers and the communities in which ANZ operates. * Paid leave for staff who volunteer for community service. Over the past three years ANZ has made considerable progress in rebuilding its reputation for financial performance. We are now intent on replicating this success with customers and with the wider community. We realise we still have a long way to go, but these initiatives are an important step in redressing that imbalance and demonstrate our commitment to change. WE ARE IN GOOD SHAPE TO PROSPER THROUGH A SOFTER ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT Overall risk continues to reduce in line with our strategy of rebalancing the portfolio and emphasising growth sectors and lower risk businesses. Having grown profits over the last 3 - 4 years at over 20% compound, our Personal businesses together with Investment Management now for the first time contribute in excess of 50% of Group profits. Credit quality remains acceptable despite slowing economic conditions, and the ELP charge reduced further to 0.35% in line with the steadily improving mix and quality of the portfolio. At the Group level total non-accrual loans are down 7% on September 2000, although in Australia there has been a 15% increase in non-accruals due to the less favourable economic environment. As expected in any economic downturn there has been a modest increase in the incidence of delinquencies and businesses incurring financial stress. However this is broadly consistent with our expectations given the economic environment and well within our planned provisioning levels. Total capital adequacy remains strong at 10.5% In October last year we highlighted several areas, that had not gone as well as hoped in 2000 and we outlined firm action to address these. I am pleased to report that good progress has been made with respect to each of these issues as follows: * Unsecured personal loan portfolio - the tightening of credit criteria and review of processes has lead to a steady reduction in the size of the portfolio and an improvement in the quality of new loans. * Panin write down - As mentioned earlier we have taken a further write down to market value. * International provisioning - there has been no need for any material new provisioning following the losses incurred in 2000 from the Asian crisis and Grindlays. OUTLOOK While the economic environment is less certain, at this stage we continue to expect a positive overall performance for the full year. However, the weaker economy, combined with the strength of our earnings in the first half, may make it difficult to replicate the strong underlying first half earnings growth in the second half. Having said this, we are confident the considerably stronger foundation we have now established puts us in a good position to continue to perform well and achieve our targets over the medium term.

The Programme
Professor Diana Kuh introduces the HALCyon Research Programme.
See more on the MRC comms Youtube channel
HALCyon brings together an interdisciplinary group of scientists working on nine UK cohort studies to understand three aspects of healthy ageing:
- Physical and cognitive capability (the capacity to undertake the physical and mental tasks of everyday living);
- Psychological and social wellbeing (how people feel and how they function in terms of relationships and social activities);
- Underlying biology of ageing. This includes cortisol (one of the body's stress hormones), telomere length (the cell's natural clock that tells the body how old it is) and genetic factors.
The Halcyon is a fabled bird identified with the kingfisher. The Halcyon calmed the wind and the waves during the winter solstice while it nested on the sea. 'Halcyon days' refer to a period of peace & prosperity.
The HALCyon collaborative research programme was originally funded by the New Dynamics of Ageing (NDA) programme, a joint initiative of five UK Research Councils. The remit of the NDA is to improve the quality of life of older people.
NDA funding for the initial HALCyon programme covered the period 2008 to 2013. In 2013, HALCyon researchers joined forces with researchers on the Integrative Analysis of Longitudinal Studies of Aging (IALSA) network and secured further funding from the US National Institutes of Health.

text: I carry AIWB every single day. But not in that 2:00. It COULD be a great holster if they would redesign the clip. But they will not so mine sits in my "useless holster box". The problem with the clip is that it does not secure the holster to the belt . Oh it may work well when you are just standing around but try to bend over or even worse, get into a wrestling match with some thug and I guarantee you that your gun and holster will fall out of your trousers. BTDT. I contacted Comptac to see if they could somehow make a better clip but the blew me off. If you like that type of holster (which I do also) a MUCH better choice would be a Shaggy from Custom Carry Concepts. The holster is available with a kydex loop that makes the gun/holster falling out of the pants impossible. In addition, you can order it with a comfort or competetion leather backing, a really nice touch. I have no connection wit CCC but I do like their products.

It seems there is never a good time to buy a new piece of technology, but never has this been truer than with routers in mid-May 2012. For those not in the know late May will see the launch of a new wireless standard, 802.11ac, capable of speeds surpassing a gigabit so anything launching with humdrum 802.11n needs to be exceptional. Netgear thinks it has one such product.
With the long winded 'WNDR4500 N900 Dual Band Ethernet router' Netgear is throwing the kitchen sink at your home network. As the name suggests, the highlight is the N900's dual 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands each of which is capable of theoretical speeds up to 450Mbit and can run simultaneously (hence the '900' reference). To achieve this Netgear has fitted the N900 with two radios and boasts improved range thanks to no less than six antennas.
On top of this Netgear has unusually equipped the N900 with two USB ports: one for a printer, the other for networking storage from a memory key or external hard drive. There are also four Gigabit Ethernet ports, push button WPS Wi-Fi security and individual power and Wi-Fi off power buttons (the latter to cater for the wired-only crowd. What is missing is DSL as the N900 is a cable only and connects to a dedicated modem.
Ultimately however this is feature heavy and it is reflected in the N900's size. To put it bluntly, the router is huge. At 258 x 172.5 x 81 mm it has a footprint as large as an 11in laptop and at 680g it is as heavy as an iPad. This isn't the last of it either since the N900 takes a trip down memory lane requiring a hefty external power brick (though having the power supply mid-cable rather than on the plug does have its advantages). Despite all this the N900 is a good looking router with an admittedly fingerprint catching piano black finish and a clear stand which gives the impression it is hovering in the air. Surprisingly, given this bulk, the stand is fixed so the N900 sits upright only – arguably not the wisest choice.
Routers aren't usually so eventful in appearance, but thankfully the N900 is far less polarising when it comes to getting up and running. Netgear deserves a great deal of credit for its 'genie' setup software, which has dropped the usual text heavy screens and endless menus of most router software in favour of an icon driven user interface and smart connection wizard which hand holds you through the simple process of plugging in cables and getting your devices online. This includes the ability to set Parental Controls to restrict content to specific network devices and 'Guest Network', which can assign temporary internet access.
Those who like to tinker more deeply will also find DLNA compatibility, QoS settings, dynamic DNS support and more. One curiosity is Netgear's decision to restrict the N900's 2.4GHz band to 217MBit by default rather than 450Mbit. This is deemed friendlier to neighbouring signals, but it means you'll need to make an adjustment if the N900 is to live up to its name. Happily, Genie makes this a breeze.

Jagadish Shettar faces land de notification charges
Bangalore, July 12(ANI): The newly appointed state chief of Karnataka Jagadish Shettar has already landed in trouble, after a complaint was filed against him, alleging irregularities in land de notification six years ago, when he was the state Revenue Minister. The complaint was filed by social activist S M Chethan in the Lokayukta court, alleging that Shettar de notified 178 acres of land in 2006, misusing his post of revenue minister. The complainant also alleged that Shettar violated rules, which caused a revenue loss of Rs 250 crore to the state exchequer. Meanwhile, slamming the state ruling BJP government over frequent controversies, Congress General Secretary B K Hariprasad said this incident has proved that BJP is a non performer in the state.

Track & Field Snags Two Titles On Day One Of BIG EAST Meet
Feb. 18, 2012
NEW YORK - The University of Cincinnati indoor track and field team picked up a pair of individual titles and sits in first place after day one of competition at the 2012 BIG EAST Conference Indoor Track & Field Championship at the New Balance Track & Field Center at The Armory in New York City.
Jasmine Cotten (pentathlon) and Sarah Rasnick (pole vault) were the individual winners on the day while six Bearcats qualified for eight Sunday finals.
UC sits in first place after six scored events with 43 points. UC leads Notre Dame (30), Villanova (29), Louisville (24), USF (22), West Virginia (17), Georgetown (14), Providence (12), St. John's (11), Rutgers (7), Connecticut (6), Syracuse (6), Pittsburgh (5), Marquette (5) and DePaul (3) in the standings.
Cotten won her second league title in the Pentathlon, scoring a school record and NCAA automatic qualifying mark of 4,192 points. Cotten, who also took the title in 2009, hit a point total that ranks third in the nation this season. She earned first place in the hurdles (8.66), high jump (1.82m/5-11.50) and long jump (6.03m/19-09.50) while grabbing second in the shot put (11.33m/39-05.00) and seventh in the 800 meters (2:27.0). Her high jump mark of 1.82m (5-11.50) ranks in the NCAA Top-10 this season.
Rasnick also set a school record, clearing an NCAA provisional qualifying mark of 4.22m (13-10.00) on her way to the win. Rasnick was the only vaulter to clear the four-meter mark and holds the No. 10 mark in the NCAA this season. Emily Clay also earned a podium finish, placing third with her clearance of 3.85m (12-07.50). Michelle Eby failed to clear her opening height.
Shanay Portis qualified for the Sunday finals in both the 60 and 200 meters. Portis won heat one of the 60 trials in 7.53 to earn the No. 3 seed. In the 200, she clocked 24.43 to place second in heat No. 1 to earn the No. 8 seed for the final.
Morgan Gordon clocked 7.61 in the 60 meter trials to place 15th and Alyssa Edley placed 26th with her time of 7.93. Gordon ran a time of 25.06 in the 200 to place 20th in preliminary action.
Jalisa Jarrett (57.39) and Aricka Rhodes (1:01.02) finished 20th and 26th, respectively, in the prelims of the 400 meters.
Kathy Klump qualified for the finals in both the 500 and 800 meters. She ran 1:11.69 in the 500 to earn the top seed for Sunday's final and clocked 2:13.67 in the 800 to earn the No. 3 seed.
Jenna Heaton ran 2:55.82 to place 10th in the prelims of the 1,000 meters. Heaton missed the final by two hundredths of a second.
Paris Campbell and Je'Rica Sanders clocked 8.61 and 8.68, respectively, in the preliminaries of the 60 hurdles to earn spots in Sunday's final.
Kaitlyn Good took fifth place in the pentathlon with a total of 3,612 points and Dominique Best scored 3,389 points to place seventh. Good clocked 2:15.2 to win first place in the pentathlon 800 meters.
Cotten also took part in the open long jump, finishing in second with a best mark 6.00m (19-08.25). Portis earned a sixth-place finish in the event with a best jump of 5.80m (19-00.50).
Frida Akerstrom placed 15th in the weight throw with a best mark of 16.05m (52-08.00) with Jessica Molyet on her heels in 17th with a top throw of 15.27m (50-01.25).
On the men's side, Maurice Norman rank 48.08 in the 400 meters to qualify for Sunday's final round. He will be joined by Terrance Sommerville, who grabbed the top seed in the 60 hurdles with his time of 7.854.
The meet continues Sunday as UC will look to improve on its all-time best sixth-place finish from a year ago. The BIG EAST will provide a free live feed of the meet at BIGEAST.org and a feed for mobile devices at bigeastmobile.com. Live results will be available.

Breadmaker aboard
Does anyone keep a breadmaker aboard? We''ve recently moved aboard & it''s one of those luxuries I''d hate to give up. Mine,however,is too cumbersome to stow.Does anyone know of a compact model or have any good stowage tips?
Breadmaker aboard
Learn how to do it without the breadmaker. It''s easy and you bake the loaf in a dutch oven.
Breadmaker aboard
You''re right. I have to change my big house mindset.Thanks for the dutch oven idea.
Breadmaker aboard
we did away with our breadmaker and replaced it
with Wolfgang Pucks 800 watt mixer. We use the same recipe as the breadmaker and use the dough hook to mix with. It takes only 5 minutes to mix put it into bread pan let it rise and bake. makes great bread. If you are going to cruise outside the US it''s hard to find flour for breadmakers. So try a recipe for bread and experiment. That''s what we did and we our bread is great and takes very little time to make.
But as we traveled outside the US we found that making Tortillas was easier. So we make more tortillas than bread now.
Breadmaker aboard
There wasn''t a hurry or need to use power tools when we were cruising so we did the dough by hand. Then baked it inside a coffee can set inside a pressure cooker without the pressure on (aka dutch oven). When finished baking it made a perfect round loaf for slicing. Yes, it drops right out of the can. We baked bread daily for approx 2 yrs this way. For us, yeast was harder to find than flour.
Breadmaker aboard
Bread in the coffee can....do you havr a recipe??
Breadmaker aboard
Just put the dough in a coffee can instead of a "bread" pan. Cook same as any bread.
Breadmaker aboard
I knew a guy with a 31 ft Hunter with a breadmaker aboard. It was a real treat while cruising. He did not have a 12V frig,but an icebox. He had a large solar panel and a wind gen, inverter. As, you know when you are out cruising for a time it is nice to have a few special things(whatever they are for you, like chocolate,alcohol,waffles,fruit,etc). I stocked up on Spices for food. It was a good way to make the same food taste diff each time. I used more spices than I would ever use at home. Some of my choices in food were because of the date on it, not how much I liked the food. I have a 12V frig.
Breadmaker aboard
Below is a link to a breadmaker site, the breadmaker is yours truly. The site is the Island Packet Owner''s Photo Site, the photo is of a couple of beauties I made while enroute on a delivery from St. Thomas to The Chesapeake.
As you can see, there is no limit what you can do without special equipment, I did however need the oven but the dough and loaves were freehanded.
Captain Bruce
Yeast bread is easy to make. Dry yeast will keep for a year if you don't lay it out in the sun. You don't need anything more than a bowl for mixing and an oven for baking. Four cups of flour, an envelope of yeast, a scant 12 ounces of water, 2 teaspoons of salt. Mix by hand until it forms a lump with no dry places, allow to sit covered for about 20 minutes and knead in the bowl for five minutes, don't add flour, oil the bowl, turn the bread to coat with oil, cover and let rise until very puffy, shape into a round somewhat flat loaf like a big bun, sprinkle some cornmeal on a cooky sheat, let rise until at least double in size. Bake in a375 degree f. oven for forty minutes.

This instrument has been used primarily to analyze carbon in sediments, both as calcite and as organic carbon, in support of research into the oceanic carbon cycle. Oceanic processes play a large role in the regulation of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, and therefore in the greenhouse effect. It has also proven useful in investigating the effects of different agricultural practices on soils, and in determining how nitrogen moves between these soils, the crops grown on them, and both the ground and surface water regimes.
To the right of it, the much smaller brown instrument is the EG&G Ortec Alpha spectrometer, used to measure the activity of alpha-emitters, such as 210Pb, in recent sediments. These function as geochronometers and allow determination of the time elapsed since the sediments were deposited, to a maximum age of approximately 100 years. For example, the response of glaciers in Alaska to recent climate changes, as preserved in the sedimentary record, can be studied by means of this instrument.
Dr. Paul Loubere maintains both the Carlo Erba C/N/S analyzer and the EG&G Ortec Alpha spectrometer in his laboratory.

A brain injury can affect just about everything -- including the way you walk, talk, and think. That's why there are a number of treatments available that attempt to restore the parts of life that have been affected by a brain injury. The term "brain injury rehabilitation" refers to the many different kinds of specialized supports and services that are offered following the emergency and early phases of brain injury treatment.
Some brain injury rehabilitation is offered as a program within a hospital or other clinical setting; other types of brain injury rehabilitation might occur on an outpatient basis. While most everyone benefits from rehabilitation following a brain injury, the specific type of rehabilitation depends on the unique needs of the person and the challenges they face.
It is Never Too Late to Get Rehabilitation for Brain Injury
A child with a brain injury may develop more injury-related issues as an adult.
Music Lessons for Rehab and Joy for a Boy with Severe TBI
Mother and caregiver Nicole Wight talks about how drum lessons have brought both joy and some recovery to her young son with a severe brain injury.
Laughter as Therapy for TBI Is No Laughing Matter
Once Nicole Wight said she learned that laughter was the highest level of brain function, she made humor an integral part of her son's rehab.
Kendell's Story

text: British Olympian Tom Daley and actress Maria Bello have made headlines in recent days by coming out, Bello in a Modern Love piece for the New York Times and Daley in a YouTube video to fans. After a string of notable celebrities opening up about their sexuality -- including CNN anchor Anderson Cooper and actor Zachary Quinto -- Bello and Daley's candor isn't revolutionary. What's striking is that they came out as nothing, or, as Bello put it, "whatever."

Richly pigmented colors range from demure to bold, matte to shimmery—and all-natural ingredients make them a great choice for those with sensitive eyes.

Quality food production and biodiversity protection
13th March, 2009
Animals grazed on biodiverse pasture produce better tasting, and healthier, meat
A new study by researchers at the University of Essex has confirmed that not only does meat from animals grazed on rich, biodiverse pasture have a better nutritional profile, but it tastes better too.
The scientists examined the pastures at 40 different beef, lamb and dairy farms, and then analysed the meat produced in a laboratory, through a taste panel and focus groups.
They discovered that lamb from biodiverse pastures contained more vitamin E than lamb from ordinary pasture, as well as having higher levels of healthy polyunsaturated fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA).
The meat also had lower levels of skatole, a chemical produced in the rumen which can adversely affect the food's smell.
Similar results were found for beef, which contained higher levels of beneficial fatty acids and, depending on breed, more tender and flavoursome meat.

About Us

Interested in adopting a pet? please fill out our application!
Booneville Arkansas Animal Shelter (BAAS) is commited to finding quality homes for pets.
We are a volunteer pet rescue organization serving the Booneville, Ar area. We are dedicated to rescuing pets left homeless for whatever reason including dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of abuse or neglect.
We place dogs in loving, responsible, committed permanent homes, following a comprehensive adoption process which includes taking considerable care in finding good matches and educating prospective adopters about the responsibilities and costs of bringing a dog into their homes and lives.
Animals in our care receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment while they await placement in their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs in the greatest need take priority.
Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the dog beyond the adoption process.
Finally, we strive to work with area shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets.
Our facility has 14 runs for pets, and currently we aren't able to take in cats. If you are interested in a cat - please see our "Cats" album - for local kitties looking for new homes.
