Early voting begins in
Portage County, state
Early in-person voting opened Oct. 12 in Portage County and across Ohio, and Portage Board of Elections Director Faith Lyon said 363 voters cast ballots.
Oct. 12 also was the first day the board could mail absentee ballots to more than 12,000 county voters who requested them so far, and Lyon said the first batch of about 6,000 ballots, filling 32 mail bins, went out.
"We'll be mailing daily after that. We hoped by the weekend we'd be caught up," Lyon said.
For dates and open hours for in-person voting, see the board's web page at www.co.portage.oh.us/election/. The board also lists what identification or information is acceptable to vote.
Election officials were "extremely busy" Oct. 11 with voters calling to confirm their registration information and voting status. Also, there was a steady influx of people stopping by to register or drop off an absentee ballot application.
Lyon said she hopes to have final registration numbers this week.
For the last presidential election in 2012, Portage had 108,154 registered voters. In 2015, that number was down to 99,434.

New Queen of Hearts
drawing starts soon
The Queen of Hearts will soon begin again at Garrettsville's SkyLane bowling alley.
After breaking the national record last month, owner Aaron King said he would restart the game after restructuring the winnings.
Starting Nov. 6, the first drawing will be for a jackpot starting at $342,629. That is 10 percent of the whopping $3.4 million jackpot taken by Mantua's Terri Vechery.
Tickets also will be sold from the Sugarbush Golf Course in Garrettsville on Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. starting Oct. 22. Tickets will only be sold at SkyLane on Sundays.
It will be mandatory to attend the drawing on Sundays to win full jackpot amounts less than $750,000. If the jackpot tops that, the winner does not have to be present.
Those picked who are not in attendance will receive 50 percent of the scheduled total.
Drawings will be held at 4:30 p.m. on Sundays, with ticket sales stopping at 4 p.m. Anyone 18 years or older is eligible to play.
Tickets cost $5 for one ticket or $20 for five tickets. A W2-G form will be issued for all winnings greater than $600. Awarded funds will not be given until the form is completely filled out.

Favorites of TEA Party
include Donald Trump
The Portage County TEA Party announced last week it endorses Donald J. Trump for president of the United States.
It also announced that it is withholding its endorsement of Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and Ohio Congressman David Joyce because they are not supporting Republican Trump.
The Portage County TEA Party, as a corporation, can endorse federal candidates as provided under the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling. The endorsements came after a recent vote by its members.
"He wants what we want," said Tom Zawistowski, Portage County TEA Party executive director, "a growing economy powered by a less-regulated private sector not big government; good-paying private sector jobs; the repeal and replacement of Obamacare with a competitive private sector solution; school choice for all students; a strong military; (and) security at home and abroad including enforcing our borders."
In other endorsements, the group is backing: John Eklund for Ohio Senate 18th District; Sarah LaTourette for Ohio House 76th District, John Mancini and Sabrina Christian-Bennett, county commissioners; Tia Paoloni, county clerk of courts; Lori Calcei, county recorder;
Trisha Heath, county treasurer; Pat DeWine, justice of the Ohio Supreme Court; and
Ron Tamburrino, judge 11th District Court of Appeals.
Get rid of legal drugs
The Portage County Sheriff's Office, County Water Resources and Drug Enforcement Administration will give the public its 12th opportunity in six years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted prescription drugs.
Anyone wishing to participate is asked to take their pills to the Portage County Water Resources offices at 8116 Infirmary Road on Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for disposal.
The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. No liquids, needles or sharps, only pills or patches, will be accepted.
"This is a great opportunity for Portage County residents to clean out their medicine cabinets of old medications that could be harmful to the environment," said Portage County Sheriff David Doak.
Overall, in its 11 previous Take Back events, DEA and its partners have taken in more than 5.5 million pounds of pills.
Cyclist indicted after
chase in Streetsboro
A Hudson man is facing a felony charge for allegedly leading Streetsboro police on a high-speed motorcycle chase in August. David E. Feathers, 56, of Edgeview Drive was indicted recently by a Portage County grand jury on a charge of failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer, a third-degree felony.
He pleaded not guilty Sept. 26 in Portage County Common Pleas Judge Laurie Pittman's courtroom and posted $1,500 bond, though Pittman noted his probation in another case could soon be revoked.
Assistant Portage County Prosecutor Eugene Muldowney said on Aug. 19, Streetsboro police chased a motorcycle carrying Feathers and a female passenger on Route 14, but stopped after the chase became a safety hazard.
Feathers then crashed the motorcycle and he and his passenger had to be taken to a hospital by LifeFlight helicopter. Feathers' attorney Mike Giulitto said the woman was in court for Feathers' hearing.

Township gets grant
to fix up schoolhouse
Mantua Township recently received a First Energy Foundation grant to help with its efforts to restore the Mantua Center School building.
At a recent township trustees meeting, Dana Heffner, area manager for Portage, Stark and Wayne counties for First Energy, presented a check for $1,500 from the foundation to Linda Ehlert, co-chair of the grants and funding committee.
Those funds will be used for the school's elevator project, which has been hitting financial and architectural difficulties lately. Community members are hoping to get the elevator installed to make the building handicap accessible.
The First Energy Foundation provides funding for community projects that may improve the vitality of communities and safety initiatives, promote local and regional economic support, or support revitalization efforts, according to a news release from the restoration committee.
Heffner had been advising the grants committee through the application process for the funds.
She said at the meeting that she toured the building and determined the restored building "will be a great asset to the community," a requirement for the grant.
Left of center causes
many highway deaths
The Portage County Traffic Fatal Review Board reviewed five fatal crashes occurring during the months of July to September.
For the same period in 2015, Portage County had six fatal crashes. To date in 2016, Portage has 13 fatal crashes and 15 traffic-related deaths.
Ravenna Ohio Highway Patrol Post Commander Lt. Antonio Matos reported the leading cause of fatal crashes in Portage County so far this year is "left of center, and that will be an area of focus for troopers.
"Whether lane violations are caused by impairment or distracted driving, they're causing dangers to everyone on the roadways, and have caused 46 percent of our fatal crashes."
The seat belt usage rate for Portage County is 76.4 percent. Prosecutor Victor Vigluicci expressed the need to promote seat belt usage, noting last year the usage rate was 86.2 percent.
The review board is a requirement of the Safe Communities grant comprised of state, county and local law enforcement, Portage County Health District, UH-Portage Medical Center, ODOT, and Portage County engineer, coroner and prosecutors offices.

One of Pakistan's famous imports to Bollywood Atif Aslam, has now joined hands with T Series' Bhushan Kumar for the very first time for a single 'Zindagi Aa Raha Hu Main' composed by Amaal Mallik.
Atif is now free to collaborate with other music labels and will sing for the song composed by Amaal Mallik of 'Sooraj Dooba Hai' (Roy) fame and produced by Bhushan Kumar. This is a first association of sorts for all the three involved.The single speaks about happiness, life, encouragement and positivity and is a message to the youth of today. The music video that will be shot soon will be choreographed by Ahmed Khan featuring Tiger Shroff and singer Atif Aslam.
Tiger was keen on doing a video that speaks about life, happiness and how small things in your everyday can give happiness to people and approached Bhushan Kumar with a concept. 'Zindagi Aa Raha Hu Main' speaks about the celebration of life, positivity, love, energy, and the youth. Bhushan liked the idea and asked Amaal to work on the music which is a lively, peppy number that can put across the concept shared by Tiger to the youth. Bhushan Kumar then approached Atif Aslam to give his voice to the song and Atif loved the theme and agreed to do his first single with T-Series. Atif has recorded the song in Bhushan Kumar's music studio this week where the entire team met and conceptualized the entire video which will be shot soon.
Bhushan Kumar says, "We are glad that Atif agreed to be a part of this single. It's a beautiful melody. The song will make you celebrate the happiness in life."

SPIELBERG, Austria (Reuters) - Red Bull slapped down Carlos Sainz on Friday for suggesting he was likely to leave their Toro Rosso Formula One team at the end of the season, prompting a swift u-turn by the Spanish driver.
"He's under contract and we have an option on him for next year and the year after," Red Bull team boss Christian Horner told Sky Sports during practice for the Austrian Grand Prix.
"He'll be in a Toro Rosso again next year."
Sainz had told reporters on Thursday that he was unlikely to stay for a fourth season and was open to offers.
The 22-year-old, who has eclipsed Russian team mate Daniil Kvyat this season, is seen as a rising star and has been linked in media speculation to a number of other teams.
"I don't know where he thinks he'll be," said Horner.
"He only got a chance in Formula One because of Red Bull investing in him in the junior years. It's a little bit disingenuous to be making comments like that. A lot of investment goes into these guys to give them the opportunity."
Sainz appears to have no chance of moving up to Red Bull next year since the former champions have Australian Daniel Ricciardo and Dutch teenager Max Verstappen locked in.
Horner said there was no change of plan there and "both drivers will be with us 100 percent."
Toro Rosso, established as a feeder team for Red Bull, has a history of moving young drivers upwards or out. Those who have graduated include four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel.
Others have been less fortunate, their Formula One careers effectively ended after being cast out of the Red Bull fold.
Kvyat is in the rare position of having been promoted and then demoted again in a swap with Verstappen, who won in Spain on his Red Bull debut last year.
"No-one has had a fourth consecutive year at Toro Rosso and I'm ready to take a step," Sainz said after Horner's comments.
"I appreciate a lot the people working in Toro Rosso, it's a great group of professionals and the Toro Rosso door is open to me. It's a nice problem to have.
"My number one target is to be in Red Bull as soon as possible. That has been my dream since I was 15 and they picked me up and that's not going to change."

Sorting of Shop Page
I realize that the front page (all products page) of Jigoshop is not sorted by latest products first.
That is quite weird, usually when you add a product, you want it to appear first on the list.
I understand that I can use shortcode to achieve this, but the look and feel of my all products age and the rest of the page look very different if I do so.
Is there anyway that I can modify the script somewhere to make it order by date (desc)?
This is the only thing I need before I can get my shop running, any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Food Trucks and Restaurants Bump Against Grease, Drugs and Empty Chairs
Food truck operators packed city hall for the right to feed the hungry hordes of the downtown and med center.
Photo by Susan Du
Let's make Houston a more walkable city, even if people are walking on their way to tacos. Or so went the thinking for dozens who showed up to Wednesday's council committee meeting in support of relaxing regulations for food trucks.
The issues on the line: whether food trucks are allowed to serve in the medical center and downtown areas; whether food trucks need to set up at least 60 feet away from each other and whether they can operate within 100 feet of chairs and tables.
The camps: food truck owners, who swarmed the public comment session, versus the Greater Houston Restaurant Association, which claims brick and mortar eateries are losing business unfairly to the trendy mobile competition.
It's a familiar clash, with a long-established industry floundering in reaction to the threat of an innovative business model. Recently, city council opted to welcome ridesharing companies Lyft and Uber to operate legally in Houston despite the outcry of traditional taxi companies. In that case, taxi companies also claimed that ridesharing companies had unfair advantages, with some inaccurately accusing Lyft and Uber of forgoing background checks for their drivers. Ultimately council members ruled to level the playing field by relaxing certain regulations for traditional taxis, such as allowing them to offer reduced rates through an app.

Food truck owners who testified Wednesday offered varying degrees of compromise. Some warned the food truck movement is the inevitable future of the food service industry, loved by hungry urbanites regardless of government restrictions. Others, such as Justin Turner of Bernie's Burger Bus, said he doesn't actually make money from his food trucks. He uses his fleet of trucks as greasy promotional ammo for his brick and mortar restaurant, the flagship enterprise.
Those who spoke against decreasing regulations fingered the "bad apples" of the food truck scene, trucks that allegedly pour waste into public drains and park for hours on residential streets. Councilwoman Brenda Stardig's accusations that some trucks have dealt drugs out of their windows were met with snickering from food truck supporters.
The Greater Houston Restaurant Association's official stance, despite the dissenting opinions of some members, is to keep the status quo in defense of restaurant owners' initial investments in licenses and certifications, as well as their clientele.
"Houston restaurants must meet extensive Code requirements ... We employ thousands of people, pay significant taxes to the City and provide service to our communities," according to a restaurant association statement. "We do not support deregulating Mobile Food Units at the cost of harm to our businesses."
That might become a tough sell, considering the growing number of brick-and-mortar restaurants that now run a food truck, or three, on the side for promotion.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 - 5 nights
1 bedroom guest house located 10 minutes to the cottonwood mall, we are in the far north valley so we are close to Los ranchos de Albuquerque and to the Rio Grande Trail, we have the balloon fiesta park only 5 minutes away, king size bed full kitchen, dish washer,washer and dryer, AC and heating, full bathroom. Very safe and quiet area. The area is gated and you can keep your vehicle at the entrance of the apartment, 20 minutes from sun port airport, close to Rio Rancho, corrales and to the railrunner Sandia station.
We are the García's, we love living in the bosque area!
owner/property manager purchased this house in 2013
located in a very quiet and safe neighborhood close to everything we love to do.
Our house is located in almost an acre property, our guest house is like 100 ft away, we have a well, we love gardening, we have grapes and apple trees, we enjoy living outdoors.
We stayed in the casita for almost two months. We were having a house built. It is in a quiet, safe neighborhood.
This casita is a simple and functional home that met all of our needs. We were basically just seeking a space to sleep that was close to my in-laws home. This home is nothing fancy, but that wasn't what we were looking for. The space is clean and comfortable. There is a nice little kitchenette/dining space for breakfasts. The owner was very responsive when we had questions. The location was very convenient for getting right onto I-25 and was basically a straight shot into town - probably took about 15/20 minutes to get from the casita to the heart of downtown ABQ. I would absolutely recommend this space to friends.
The property was exactly as depicted in the photos; it was well located for the balloon fiesta, whether we drove to the park or just watched down the road by the ditch! Lilliana was most responsive when we had several questions regarding our stay. The apartment is neat and clean and has everything you would need for 2-4 people. My daughter and her husband slept on the futon for several nights and said it was the most comfortable "not bed" they've ever slept in! We hope to return again some day to Albuquerque and would certainly consider staying her again.
We were in town for the opening weekend of the Balloon Fiesta. This is a nice, clean apartment in a quiet neighborhood. We were there for three nights and only talked to the owners once. Nice people. Even if we weren't at Balloon Fiesta Park we could see balloons filling the sky in the morning and in the evening we could also watch the fireworks show from the yard. We would recommend this property to anyone whether you are staying a short time or long term. The laundry facilities came in handy.
Functional place to stay in the north end of Albuquerque.
The property was exactly as described with all of the amenities. Located in a quiet area just minutes from everything, it was clean and accommodating to our needs. We were in town visiting our son and his family so basically just needed a place to sleep at night. Owner had refrigerator stocked with water and soda. Made coffee in the morning and we were on our way until nightfall.
We are very close to the river, the Rio Grande Trail, balloon fiesta, gravity park, corrales and Rio Rancho. Also to the cottonwood mall.

sound stream
Let�s be honest: most of today�s club music protagonists are as exciting as dead meat. Or if you wish to choose more friendly words, we agree that they are servants of an alternative entertainment industry. Frank Timm a.k.a. Soundhack alias Soundstream is the great exception to this rule. This boy serves cuisine instead of fast food. But before he reached that state, the true-school Berliner had to graduate from the city�s club boot camp. Awestruck by Berlin�s basements and industrial places, where techno was in its early-nineties prime, Soundstream was overwhelmed by Detroit�s beauty and Chicago�s roughness. Unsurprising, he soon agitated in the coordinate system of the world-renowned record store Hard Wax. An institution that also distributes his labels Soundstream and Soundhack. The first one takes care of Timm�s never-ending love for disco and refined house music (take the ear candy of �Love Jam� for example), the latter is dedicated to cut-up and loop adventures that are better described with folly than the customary house and techno signs. Therefore the scalpel is one of his typical tools of the trade. He chops, dismembers, deconstructs and mills - until he drops. However, he never creates Frankenstein�s monster and does not fall for the risks of this mode of operation: Sophistication and consciousness, safe from harm and also from being nerdy. �DJ tools with an attitude�, as Dr. Dre would say.
The same goes for his �band� Smith�n�Hack. Together with his peer and friend Errorsmith, Mr. Soundhack creates amazing long players like �Tribute� that takes a bow in front of disco�s vast history or incredible remixes. Just listen what they did to Ricardo Villalobos� �Easy Lee� or Herbert�s �Moving Like A Train�. Stripes of italo disco in the one case and a future classic paint of gold in the other. On his own, Timm�s revisions for Anthony �Shake� Shakir, the Olympian Rhythm & Sound duo or Auto Repeat might be the most remarkable ones.
His appearances as a live act or DJ are also outstanding. A look into his box reveals lovely disco 12-inches, dirty Chicago house, immortal club classics and dew-fresh jams. All blended, mixed and sliced together with style and grace. His brand new Soundstream live set literally �Tears down the house�. Using a mixture of his �Greatest hits� as well as new unreleased �Soon to be hits�, he presents the listener with a solid, funky, �Sure to get you on the dance floor� sound. Whether live or spinning vinyl, be sure to put on your dancing shoes, your feet won�t forgive you in the morning. You can also catch him behind the machines under the Smith�n�Hack guise, which has just released 2 new 12-inches.

Nowadays, mobile technology has improved from small brick sized Nokia cell phones to the large, delicate, powerful smartphones which complement our daily life. It is undeniable that our smartphones and tablets have become more important and play a vital role in our daily lives. But all these can be taken in a flash when that device fells and crashes on to the floor.
Some of the unavoidable incidents includes scratching, cracking and breaking the screen. Instead of spending more money on it, we have some solutions readily available, which can be done by yourself at home itself, which will save money and time both.
Recommended: Top 10 Deals on 6 Inch Display Smartphones to Buy Today
Here GizBot brings you the 10 DIY (Do it Yourself) ways to fix and avoid your costly repairs.
Keep your wet mobile in Bowl full of Rice
What to do if you drop your phone in water
Many of us have already heard of this trick before, and in reality it really works as well. If your phone drops in water unexpectedly, you can save it by removing the battery and then keep it in a bag of rice as soon as possible. Leave it there for a day or two. If your screen's having problems due to moisture, you can often massage the stuck pixels away with your fingers.
Use Sandpaper
How to remove scratches from your phone
Smartphones getting scratched up in your pocket is unavoidable. It may happens because of the keys or coins in your pocket. If you want to prevent your phone from scratches, you can brush the bezel or sandpaper the back to get it shiny and smooth again.
Rescue your phone from getting bricked
What to do when your phone is completely unresponsive
For iPhone Users
When it is plugged in, try to reset the device by holding the power and home buttons for up to 10 seconds. If this doesn't work, try to switch on normally. After the phone has booted, you can restore iOS by connecting to iTunes and downloading the latest version for your device.
Otherwise, restoring from iTunes can also be an attempt after putting the device into DFU mode, which is done by holding the home button while connecting the phone to your computer via USB cable.
For Android Users
Android devices are usually pretty flexible when it comes to connecting them to a computer and installing an update using free software known as ClockworkMod Recovery. If your mobile is bricked follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Return to the place where you downloaded the flash tools and update.
Step 2: If the phone only boots as far as the recovery screen, you will need to find an alternative ROM to install and copy it to your device. Installation can be performed through recovery.
Step 3: Should the device appear to be caught in a reboot cycle, you will need to use ClockworkMod Recovery to clear the cache data using the options Wipe Dalvik Cache, Wipe Cache Partition and Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
Step 4: Now remove the SD card, reformat, and try again.
What to do when battery is dead
Almost in every smartphones, battery won't hold the same charge it used to. Changing the battery is easy for Android users, while the iPhone users have to do a bit more work. You can usually buy batteries online and replace them without too much problems. For the Apple users, get some guided video, get your toolkit, open your iPhone and change the battery.
Small dose of Alcohol
How to repair mobile phone keypad

Put a small amount of the paste onto a microfiber cloth and gently rub in a circular motion on the scratched part of your screen. Additionally for a temporary fix rub the screen with a drop of vegetable oil.

Mater si, magistra no is a phrase meaning that Catholics need not follow the teachings of the Church on social policy; its literal meaning is "Mother yes, teacher no". It was coined in 1961, in direct response to the papal encyclical Mater et Magistra, as a reference to the then-current anti-Castro slogan, "Cuba si, Castro no."[1]
The New Oxford Review has described the principle of "mater si, magistra no" as "'pick-and-choose Catholicism".[2]
The phrase is often attributed to William F. Buckley, Jr; however, although it was first published in Buckley's National Review,[3] the phrase was actually coined by Garry Wills during a telephone conversation with Buckley.[1]
National Review editor Priscilla Buckley subsequently regretted having published the phrase, stating in 2005 that it had "got (National Review) into lots and lots of trouble ... over lots and lots of years".[4]
Cultural references
When Commonweal published Eamon Duffy's negative review of Wills's 2000 book Papal Sin, the caption on the front cover read "Mater Si, Wills No".[5]

Gluten-Free Diet Recommended for Patients with Serum IgA Endomysial Antibodies but Normal Duodenal Villi Biopsy

The following abstract was submitted to celiac.com directly by William Dickey, Ph.D., a leading celiac disease researcher and gastroenterologist who practices at Altnagelvin Hospital, Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology 2005; 40: 1240-3.
Dickey W, Hughes DF, McMillan SA.
Celiac.com 09/27/2005 - What does a positive endomysial antibody (EmA) test mean if the biopsy does not show villous atrophy? The authors studied 35 patients where this was the case. In the authors practice, these patients account for 10% of all EmA positives.
Firstly, the lack of villous atrophy did not necessarily mean a normal biopsy: 14 patients had excess inflammatory cells (lymphocytes) consistent with a mild abnormality of gluten sensitivity.
Secondly, many of these patients had typical celiac features: twelve had a family history of celiac, five had dermatitis herpetiformis and thirteen had osteopenia or osteoporosis on DEXA scan.
After discussion, 27 patients opted to take a gluten-free diet from the first biopsy: 26 of these had clinical improvement. Seven of eight patients who persisted with a normal diet developed villous atrophy on follow-up biopsies.
The authors conclude that a positive EmA result indicates gluten sensitivity even if biopsies do not show villous atrophy. While a biopsy remains important as a baseline reference, these patients should be offered a gluten-free diet to allow clinical improvement and prevent the development of villous atrophy. There may be no such thing as a "false positive" EmA, although the authors emphasise that the same conclusion cannot yet be applied to tissue transglutaminase antibody results.

In 1994 I was diagnosed with celiac disease, which led me to create Celiac.com in 1995. I created this site for a single purpose: To help as many people as possible with celiac disease get diagnosed so they can begin to live happy, healthy gluten-free lives. Celiac.com was the first site on the Internet dedicated solely to celiac disease.

Nova Roma is a hidden city in the Amazon Jungle of Brazil, South America. It was founded in 44, B.C. just after the death of Julius Caesar.[1]
Modern Era
Selene created the land of Nova Roma in Brazil, bringing outsiders to her paradise with her psychic powers and forcing them to worship her as the Dark Priestess. She led everyone to believe Nova Roma was a colony of the ancient Roman Empire, until she was discovered by the New Mutants..[2]
Later it was reveled that actually Nova Roma is a real colony of descendants of the old Roman Empire and that an unidentified agency made the citizens of Nova Roma believe that Selene created it. With time the memory of the Nova Romanii, and of Magma (Amara Aquilla), returned[3] and they tried to repopulate their hidden city.

Pricing upgradeAsked by jkoivist on November 16, 2015 at 07:29 PM
I was curious about whether or not an account can be upgraded during a billing cycle.
Let me present a hypothetical that I foresee happening:
We are publishing a form that we will use to allow people to upload audio files for an oral history project. We intend to subscribe at the 100 GB/month level, but depending on the level and frequency of our submissions, we could possibly run over our data limit. In that event, would we be able to pay a premium to raise up to the 1 TB level or would we be locked in the 100 GB level until the next billing cycle?
Thank you!
JotForm Support
Thank you for contacting us.
You can upgrade your account at any time. For example if you upgrade your account to Silver plan and you reach sliver plan limit of storage space which is 100 GB, you can immediately upgrade your account to Gold plan to have more storage space. You do not need to wait until the next billing cycle. In that case you should also cancel your Silver subscription to avoid that you are billed twice, once for Silver plan and once for Gold plan. Inside of this guide you can find how to upgrade your account:
Hope this will help. Let us know if you need further assistance.

Mauricio Pochettino has introduced wrestling to White Hart Lane as he looks to improve his players' upper-body strength and cardiovascular fitness, according to a report.
The Times claims that Pochettino has employed the unorthodox training techniques in order to boost the physical attributes of his current crop of stars.
The report says that a burly member of Tottenham's medical staff has been drafted in to wrestle the Tottenham players. The physically intimidating medic would pin a player to the ground who would have one minute to wrestle themselves free and escape.
It is understood that the practice has become an integral element to the club's training sessions this season – with the players even competing to see who can escape from the medic's clutches quickest.
The unnamed member of the Spurs medical team is believed to have been dubbed the 'cage fighter' by players after his intimidating approach to the exercise.
The revised training methods are being utilised by Pochettino after his side faltered in the final months of last season, allowing Leicester to win their first Premier League title by 10 points.
In other Tottenham news, Harry Redknapp admitted he discovered his players bet on their own matches, in contravention of Football Association rules – and Spurs fans took to Twitter.

Think Fast
Grocery stores are uniquely suited to help Millennials make healthier choices.
Highway exit signs help travelers find tourist attractions, fuel, lodging and, of course, food ? albeit mostly fast food. Rarely do these signs direct people to grocery stores, which offer a tremendous variety of healthy on-the-go foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables.
A syndicated study conducted by The Hartman Group, based in Bellevue, Wash., and purchased by Produce Marketing Association (PMA), ?Outlook on the Millennial Consumer 2014,? some of whose findings have been discussed in the August and September 2014 PMA Perspectives columns, tells us that convenience and affordability drive busy, cash-strapped Millennials to rely routinely on fast food, even though they know it?s not healthy. Millennials in the study say they?d prefer healthier quick-service foods over ?traditional? fast food, if only the healthy choice was also the budget-friendly choice.
This is a good sign, pointing to an opportunity for grocery stores to help the biggest generation to date ? estimated at 80 million in the United States alone ? reconcile their desires for convenience, affordability and healthfulness.
A Little Bit of Everything
Millennials are indeed a food-forward generation that eats out more often than their older cohorts; however, the number of Millennials who eat out on a weekly basis has actually dropped in 2014, compared with Hartman?s 2011 study of the group. This decrease reflects a rise in the number of Millennials who are cooking, meal planning and minding their budgets.
Nonetheless, this increase in cooking doesn?t necessarily make Millennials avid cooks. While many like preparing food, they?re pressed for time in their daily routines, and short on ideas for easy and affordable meals. Cooking is often relegated to special events or weekends, when time is easier to come by. As a result, fast food remains part of Millennials? resource-strapped lifestyles.
With the demographic teetering between fast food and home cooking, grocery stores are in a great position to balance this demographic?s needs. On one hand, supermarkets can offer healthier prepared foods that Millennials can grab and eat on the way to work in the morning or at their desks for lunch. On the other hand, grocery stores go one step further with the convenience of retail, giving Millennials semi-prepared options and other food purchases that aid their efforts to cook more and appease their propensity for spontaneous meal planning.
Supermarkets: The Original Freshii
Salads, burritos, wraps, rice bowls, yogurt parfaits, soups ? all easily parlay into competitively priced prepared and ready-to-eat meals and snacks full of affordable fresh fruits and vegetables to satisfy Millennials? taste for convenient, less-processed, fresh, healthy meals. The ability to mix and match from soup and salad bars and the prepared food section also complements their DIY, just-for-me attitude.
This concept actually sounds a lot like Freshii, the fast-food franchise founded in Canada by Matthew Corrin, a Millennial himself. According to the company?s website, Freshii focuses on providing ?fresh and nutritious meal choices that energize people on the go.? An expansive array of vivid fresh fruits and vegetables covers the food prep areas. Messaging often elevates the healthful appeal of fresh produce. When hungry people are faced with the choice between a candy bar and an apple, the company says its goal is simple: ?Freshii wants to be that apple.?
The restaurants have been a huge hit, with the first Canadian location running out of food on its first day before the end of lunch. Today, the franchise has grown to 88 stores in four countries, including 44 in the United States. But there?s a catch: Among the Millennials surveyed by Hartman, many balked at the chain?s prices.
Healthy Shouldn?t be a Tradeoff
It?s important to bear in mind how sensitive Millennials are to money matters. This generation was hit hard by the Great Recession. Many are dealing with unemployment and crippling student debt. And despite being the best-educated generation to come of age, data from the Washington, D.C.-based Pew Research Center show that two-thirds of Millennials between the ages 25 and 32 lack a bachelor?s degree.
But despite everything, price isn?t the whole picture ? quality and relevance to values are also extremely important to Millennials, and Hartman?s research shows they worry about the ?more, faster, cheaper? attitude that relying on fast food symbolizes.
Grocery stores? elevated marketing of affordable prepared foods made with fresh fruits and vegetables stands to resonate loudly with the Millennial generation in more ways than one, allowing them to commit to ideals of healthy eating while remaining budget-conscious and mobile, and even giving them recipe ideas to try at home.
Supermarket retailers can gain greater access to Millennials? daily routines by helping them make better choices from a wide range of healthier alternatives to traditional fast food.
Before Millennials veer too far off the road toward fast food, thinking it?s the only option, our industry can share the story with this important generation that it is possible to eat healthfully on a budget and on the go. Fresh fruits and vegetables are a big part of that story.
Grocery stores? elevated marketing of affordable prepared foods made with fresh fruits and vegetables stands to resonate loudly with the Millennial generation.

With a lifetime commitment to my own inner work and spiritual journey, everything I do is integral to my life and I have very much "practised what I preach"! With a young son and a Husband with a very demanding job, I very much live in the real world and fully understand the restraints people seemingly have. In today's busy society, it's easy to forget that our wellbeing should come first but whether it's a health condition, emotional issue, spiritual issue or you would just like more calm in your life, it is never too late to begin investing in your wellbeing and start living the life you deserve….today!

Cruz wants Inter stay
Julio Cruz is not planning to leave Internazionale this summer.
By Patricio Figueroa
Last Updated: 25/07/07 10:27am
Julio Cruz is not planning to leave Internazionale this summer and would like to end his career at the club.
The Argentine striker made only 15 appearances for Inter in Serie A last season and competition for places is likely to be even more fierce this term.
David Suazo has been added to the Inter squad this summer and will vie for a starting spot along with Adriano, Hernan Crespo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
There has been speculation that Cruz could be allowed to leave but he insists he would rather stay and fight for a place.
"I have never said that I wanted to leave Inter and I haven't had any problem with (coach Roberto) Mancini or any other person at the club," he told TyCSports.
"Everyday my name appears in the newspapers but this is not good because I have created problems.
"Although there are many strikers at Inter I belong to this team and I want to keep on being a player of Inter.
"In addition, my idea is to renew my contract. I have already spoken about that with the president and we will arrange everything shortly.
"I want to finish my career at Inter."

Easy Vegan Spelt Pie Crust
Recipe by Chef Joey Z.
This easy pie crust is delicious. It makes two 9" crusts. I use it for all my pies.
Top Review by Lalaloula
I used this crust for my first pie ever and Im so happy because it worked out very well. =) The only thing I had to change was to use a little bit more oil in the batter, but other than that I followed the directions as stated. Although I made a cherry pie I didnt sweeten the crust at all and it was perfect like that. I definitely want to try this with hearty filling as well since its so versatile. Thank you so much for sharin, Chef Joey Z.! Made and reviewed for Zaar Cookbook Tag 2009.
See Discussion:4 Reviews
Ingredients Nutrition
- 709.77 ml spelt flour (not sprouted)
- 4.92 ml sea salt
- 118.29 ml soymilk (other non-dairy milk can be used)
- 118.29 ml light oil
Directions See How It's Made
- In a food processor add the 3 cups of spelt flour and salt. Process for a minute to incorporate the flour and salt.
- Combine the non-dairy milk and light oil in a cup and mix well. I use a whisk to do this. Then feed the milk-oil mixture through the feeding tube in the food processor and into the flour mixture. The dough should be in large crumbles. At this point, stop the machine and feel the dough. It shouldn't be sticky or dry, but a little oily and hold together well. Try not to handle the dough too much as it tends to toughen the dough.
- Once you have the right consistency remove the dough crumbles onto a prepared surface to roll out your dough. I use a large plastic sheet, but waxed paper can also be used. I try to avoid using a floured surface as it will make the dough dry. I have found that with this dough that it isn't necessary.
- Shape the dough into a disc and cut it in half. Reshape the first piece of dough into a disc and roll it out. I wrap the dough around my rolling pin then place it onto the pie pan and unroll. Once I have the dough in place I position it carefully but do not stretch it, it will shrink. I prick the sides and bottom of the bottom crust.
- Fill the pie with the desired ingredients and roll out the second disc of dough and put it on top.
- Flute the edges with a fork and then trim the pie crust edges. Brush the pie with some of the non-dairy milk and then make slits in the top crust to let out the steam.
- Bake according to the type of pie you are making.
- Enjoy!

I can't create a new form or edit my formAsked by charlythepearl on August 03, 2014 at 09:57 PM
I am having trouble with Jot Form. I am a premium member and I can't use the navigation, create new forms or edit my existing forms. I cleared my Chrome cashe, uninstalled it and installed it again. This is the browser I always use. Is my account frozen for some reason?
Please notice from the screenshot that when I hover over the form I want to edit there are no edit controls/options on the right hand side.
I need to get into my forms and extract the submissions and I can't do that either.
Thanks in advance for your help.
JotForm Support
Hello charlythepearl,
I did check your account and did not find any issue with that. Your account is in good shape and you should not have any issue.
Please be noted that when you mouse hover on the list of forms, it will not display any controls to edit or view submissions. You will have to actually click/select on one of the form and then only the controls will be visible. Please check the screenshot below:
If selecting the form also does not display the controls, it is surely a browser related issue. You do not re-install your browser but just try to clear the browser cache again and see if that solves your problem. You may also like to check it in some other browser as well such as Mozilla though you should not have any issue with chrome.
Do get back to us if the issue persists.
Thank you!
It is not working. I cleared the cash and rebooted. It won't allow me to place a check in the box next to the form. I even tried all thee browsers (Chrome, Firefox and Explorer). Please help.
JotForm Support
Hello charlythepearl,
That is strange.
I still believe the issue is related to your browser. I would suggest you to try the following steps:
1. Close the browser tab where you have opened the JotForm pages.
2. Clear the browser cache once again.
3. Shutdown your internet modem for few minutes and then restart again.
If the issue persists, it could be a CDN related problem and you may try to sign in to your JotForm account by clicking on the following URL : http://www.jotformpro.com/?noCDN=true
Do get back to us if the issue persists.
Thank you!

Easily Discouraged
Tuesday, June 19, 2012
I don't understand why it is so easy to get discouraged or upset with myself. I watch other people do it and recognize the ridiculousness, but I can't recognize it in myself. My mother in law has been working on losing weight in the worst ways for the last two years. She has limited her eating so much that is borders on unhealthy. she beats herself up if she has any type of slip up and even though she has lost what she wanted to and more she can't let go. She can't look in the mirror and be happy. If I had the guts I would say enough is enough! Losing weight isn't going to make you happy!! Losing weight can't change who you are or your circumstances in life! Let go!!
Why can't I say that to myself? When I stopped weighing myself 40 pounds down I realized that I was obsessing with a number to compensate for other areas in my life. So I've been trying to measure successes in a different way. Did I eat well for the whole week? Did I only have one cookie instead of five? Did I manage to make a batch of mini pies and really only eat a half and give the rest away? Did I really do 600 crunches last week when just a few weeks ago I could barely get 6 out in a row? Are my pants fitting more losely? Do I not cringe whenever I see myself naked? Those are BIG accomplishments.
So how come when I ordered sweat pants from Victoria Secret in the same size that I ordered last time and waited for a week in anticipation of did I spend the rest of the night beating myself up when they didn't fit? It clearly wasn't me. When I put the New Medium pants against the older mediums pants I bought last time there is about an inch and a half difference in the waist and about two inch difference in the thigh. That is not my fault. Those pants though marketed as being the exact same sizes are clearly different sizes and while one fits really losely that doesn't mean that a different style is going to fit me in the same way or fit at all. That doesn't mean that I have messed up in some way. It doesn't change that the sweat pants I've been wearing for the last four years that used to be busting at the seams now fit losely on me. Isn't that better evidence than a pair of pants I've had out of the bag for five minutes?
How is it that we can see the evidence of our changes and our strengths and the hurdles we've overcome, but manage to feel so defeated because of a size??? How come it is so hard to build ourselves up and so easy to tear ourselves down? How is it that a confident woman who has everything to be proud of: a degree, a great marriage, a good job, a house, independence, self sufficience, talent to boot can be deflated in about ten seconds by a pair of pants that doesn't fit? What is the fix to that?
Well my first fix was to go to bed. I was obviously over tired to begin with and this was not helping. The second fix is to tell myself again that size does not matter. I know that. That is why I am trying to be healthier and more fit not trying to fit into a size or mold. A number does not define who I am. The third thing is to wake up in the morning and look at myself in the mirror and smile and say you look good kid. Because I can't let myself be defeated by the small things. I can't let something ridiculous rule over me. I can't let my happiness be defined or defeated by a pair of pants.

I hear you! While I am stuck in my plateau I beat myself up for such little things instead of looking at the positive steps! I can obsess over a .2 ounce loss on the scale for a week yet forget that for 128 days I have not eaten fast food. Silly!
We are so much more than a number!

I hear you, I do the same things. Good for you for stopping and recognizing this time what was going on and coming up with a plan. I am always harder on myself and harder on myself then anyone else is. I can beat myself up over the littlest things.
Good for you for not being defeated!!!

As promised, here are the Scholar notes for unit 2 of the CfE Higher course.
higher assignment
Your assignment will be based on an optoelectronics topic. You will get some ideas for practical work by downloading this booklet.
I have attached a copy of the Scholar notes for unit 3 of the CfE Higher course. You will find background physics with appropriate energy band explanations on pages 103-142.
Don't print this document, it's huge!
1996 higher paper
Thanks to Mr Ferguson for sharing his copy of the marking instructions for the 1996 Higher paper, it's the only one I didn't have! You'll find a link to his answers on the Higher revision page.
higher particles and waves revision
Remember that your unit assessment for P&W will take place at the end of this week. The attached notes might be helpful during your revision.
particle accelerators
An electric field can be used to accelerate charged particles.
Conservation of energy tells us that
work done by the electric field = change in the particle's kinetic energy
The speed of the particle can be determined if its charge and the accelerating voltage (potential difference) are known. The notes attached to the end of this post will show how to perform the calculation.
These short video clips show how to draw electric field lines for point charges and parallel plates, with example calculations for the work done by electric fields and the final speed of charged particles in electric fields.

quarks, leptons and antimatter
At the end of Our Dynamic Universe, we considered big things like stars, galaxies and the Universe itself. Now the Particles and Waves unit brings us to particles so small we need groups of them just to make a single atom. Is there a connection?
Why do we study particles? from mr mackenzie on Vimeo.
The Standard Model
An elementary (or fundamental) particle is a particle that is not built from other, smaller particles. Until the start of the 20th century, scientists had believed that atoms were elementary particles. However, the discovery of the electron (J.J. Thompson), proton (Rutherford), and neutron (Chadwick), together with Rutherford's evidence for a heavy, positively charged nucleus at the centre of the atom suggested the atom was not an elementary particle after all.
Brian Cox explains in this video clip…
To go further, we have to introduce some particle physics vocabulary.
These new elementary particles are part of our Standard Model of how the building blocks of the universe interact with one another. The particles that form "matter" are called fermions, after Enrico Fermi (Fermi has an incredibly long list of things named after him). The fermions are divided into two groups; quarks and leptons, as shown in the diagram below.

Hubble discovers our universe is expanding
In the 1920s, Edwin Hubble had access to the Hooker telescope on Mount Wilson, Los Angeles. This was the largest telescope in the world at that time. His first breakthrough was the discovery of a cepheid variable star in the Andromeda nebula. This enabled him to calculate the distance to Andromeda and he quickly realised this was not a nebula but a galaxy outside the Milky Way.
This video follows his work.
Hubble – nebulae or galaxies? from mr mackenzie on Vimeo.
Hubble then turned his attention to other galaxies, looking for cepheid variable stars that would allow him to determine their distances from the Milky Way. He used redshift to calculate their recession velocity and plotted a graph against distance.
He found that the recession velocity (v) was directly proportional to distance (d). We can express this relationship as
where is the Hubble constant. Astronomers agree that the current value of the constant is
Since this is a SQA course, we need to convert into SI units – giving
In this video, Professor Jim Al-Khalili looks at Hubble's work on the expanding universe.
Hubble's discovery of the expanding universe from mr mackenzie on Vimeo.
Although he was American, Edwin Hubble transformed himself into a tea drinking, pipe smoking, tweed wearing Englishman during his time as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford. He probably wouldn't approve of this last video.
Unfortunately, astronomers were not eligible for the Nobel Prize for Physics. The rules have now been changed.
more redshift
and Yoker Uni's video about Doppler and stuff
While redshift can be used to tell us about the recession velocity of (non relativistic) galaxies, we also need to find a way to measure the distance to these galaxies. Astronomers have two main methods to measure these distances; parallax (more parallax here) and cepheid variable stars – there's a Khan Academy video on cepheid variable stars.

Studio head Tim Schafer revealed Trenched the latest game from Double Fine studios.
The game appears to be a Mech based shooter and looks like it will maintain the studios trademark humour and unique visual style with a cool 50s Sci-fi feel to it think War of the Worlds meets Mech Warrior.
The announcement was accompanied by trailer showing many of the games elements including and the highly customisable mechs.
Double Fine's move away from expensive AAA titles to downloadable games seems to have been a worthwhile one allowing the studio to work on more games every year.
Trenched is being developed for XBLA and I don't know about you but I cannot wait to "Turn no-man's land into real man's land."
