So, me and my kids are at Sam's Club. The kids are out of school for the day, Daddy is at work at his new job, and we're filling the house up with a million little snacks that we put off buying when we were unemployed.
The cart is dang heavy, the kids tell me.
You're the one who thought it would be a good idea to take turn pushing it, I tell them. Consequences, I say. Learn about them.
In response, they throw themselves down on the couches. Not, like, the display couches. But couches on the shelves. When you think about it, Sam's Club has weirdly big shelves.
I decide to sit down, too.
No one says anything for awhile. It's getting late and we've wasted all our energy on shopping and haven't left any for checking out, loading the car, or getting home. So I just relax—close my eyes and marvel at the fact that I have gotten to the point where my children are so grown up that they will sit in a recliner silently for ten, fifteen, twenty minutes. Amazing.
You never think that they'll stop being toddlers. Stop screaming, or pooping on you, or hitting you on the head with a television. (I think I'm exaggerating about the television, but honestly, it has a ring of truth to it.) But they do grow up. They grow up. They have thoughts.
Thoughts like this:
Sam: [head still leaned back relaxing, eyes closed] "It's been getting really hot," he says. "Not in here... Outside."
"Yup," I say. Not because I really want to engage in a conversation about the weather, but because I'm the Mom. I should encourage mental development in my children, acknowledge their observations. Especially the true ones.
But then, something odd happens.
"Here's what I'm thinking," Sam says. "People get thirsty when it's hot outside. Joggers get especially thirsty. And, you know, there are a lot of joggers by our house."
True enough. We live at the mouth of Memory Grove. But what's he getting at?
Sam: "What did that flat of water cost, Mom? $3.00? 24 bottles for $3.00?"
I nod. It's really $3.50, but why quibble.
Sam: "But when you're hot, and thirsty, and jogging, what would you pay for water?"
I think I stare at him, though it's possible that I never open my eyes. Maybe his question was rhetorical? I don't really want to push it. The couches on the shelf are really comfortable.
He turns to Lily. "We've got work to do," he says. "I'll pay you the normal rate?"
In hindsight, this should have been a clue.
That afternoon, Lily sets up a shop on the grass—right at the point when three roads converge into a single, inescapable, entryway to Memory Grove. I'm informed that of the three sites they toured, it was the one they thought would net the most profit with the least trouble.
"And I can keep an eye on you because it's by our house," I say. She nods, but there's this look in her eyes, like she's placating my infantile need to pretend I have control over things. When I push it further and set up a blanket nearby so I can sit with a book and protect her from any creepers, she just ignores me.
Soon enough, she's used her red wagon to transport to transport the sundries of her operation, and her shop is up and running. She has a blue umbrella, driven into the ground. (It keeps the sun away, and its bright color draws attention, she says.) She has a cooler of iced water. She's got some insect spray, because even the best real estate sometimes comes with a few mosquitos. And she has a sign. On it: a marker-drawn flower and a price. Water Bottles: $1, it says.
She smiles at joggers that pass.
She waves like a beauty queen. (Well, since she is a beauty queen, I guess I should just say she waves, since the rest is implied.)
She watches as people come close, keeping eye-contact right up until she's able to call out to them, "I have water for sale!" She uses her cutest, sweetest, most innocent smile. I'm pretty sure there's at least a little eyelash-batting.
No one but me seems to know it's a put on.
People are too busy thinking she's cute. Even cuter when she tries to upsell them. "A banana would go really well with that water," she sas. "Don't you think? It's just another dollar."
They hand her money. Leave her tips. (Tips!)
Eventually Sam—not having calculated the effect tipping might have on the ultimate profit-sharing—comes out, looking for his own share of the tipping. He holds signs and waves—not quite like a beauty queen, but competently. People stop to compliment him about his smile.
They do this two days in a row before the weather turns cold again. In those two days, they work one hour a day.
They net $40.
Or, another way to look at it. They spent $10 on supply (and you bet your bum I made them pay), they took that and grossed 500% better.
As soon as the heat returns, they plan to be back out there.
Later on, when they are in their rooms, putting away their money and getting ready for bed, I think about it all. I think about how I thought we were relaxing at Sam's Club with our eyes closed. But what was really happening was this: supply chain calculation, strategic pricing, strategic real estate setup, market-needs analysis, profit-loss estimation, division of labor, managerial supervision, salesmanship planing, marketing. Some of it was spoken. Some of it had gone on behind the scenes. (They had a pre-arranged salary for goodness sakes.)
And I realize: these babies of mine... they are not cute little lemonade-stand babies. They are not normal little buddies who are content to slosh around some crystal light for $0.05 a paper cup. No.
They are friggin future moguls.
And then, this thought leads me to another realization—a more somber one, in some ways. That is: somewhere, sometime, as I was busy thinking my thoughts about how happy I was that no one pooped on me anymore...
Their quest to take over the world had begun.
I am their mother. And I completely underestimated them.
Bill Gates?
Hugo Chavez?
Take notice.
Cuz otherwise, y'all won't even see it coming.

CrossFit and Suffering
We suffer in CrossFit. This is what we do. We suffer through intense workouts in order to produce results.
By CrossFitting, we have chosen not to take the easy way, not to walk down the path of least resistance, not to coast.
But it's a hard road. Each workout, we must swallow our fear, call on some inner fortitude, and ride through pain that may cause others to quit and walk away.
We're not f***ing around here.
We find nobility and honor in our perseverance. We pride ourselves on being able to "take†what others can not, or will not.
We suffer. And other people may find us crazy for doing so.
Our friends and families may chuckle at our devotion and roll their eyes at our latest stories of barbells and blood and tears. They may wince and turn away when they see our calloused hands and our bruised collarbones.
In fact, as we become more addicted to CrossFit – to this suffering — some folks find that their priorities shift, their circle of friends changes, and their daily thoughts turn again and again to CrossFit.
This is normal. A weird normal, but a CrossFit normal.
CrossFit is that addictive of an experience.
But if your friends or families are worried – they talk about "losing†you to CrossFit or start to make remarks about your devotion — ask yourself one simple question that will help to define if your behavior — if your latest addiction — is healthy or unhealthy: "Is my life better?†Don't ask yourself about particular results or success or happiness or anything else. Look at the entire picture of your life, your health, your loves, your outlook, and your relationships with people since you started this thing and ask yourself: "Is my life better?â€
If it is, keep CrossFitting — and encourage your friends to start too. If it isn't, make some adjustments. Figure it out. Life is about adjustments. Just like when we finish a clean or a snatch and the coach yells to "Reset your feet†— that's what life is all about. Resetting. Trying again. Figuring it out. And making things better. The suffering only gets us there; it's not the goal in and of itself.
A friend once said that "Being able to hit the Reset Button is never bad†— but I think it goes a little deeper than that. Being able to hit the Reset Button is never bad, as long as you've looked at your performance and learned what to do better this time. Don't suffer and let it all go to waste. Reset and hit a new Personal Record, in the gym and in life.
(Words by Lisbeth Darsh/CrossFit Watertown.)

Damn, that little article really sums it up well. Everything she said is true about crossfit. It has truly changed a lot of things in my life since I discovered it 2 years ago. And yes, people who don't Crossfit will never fully "get it" even though u try to explain our principles and workouts to them. The globo gym society is too narrow minded to understand what being a complete athlete really is.
Thanks for sharing this article. CF is really spectacular in so many ways. The Reset is important, especially the learning from the past and pursuing a better path.
There's just not a lot of things I can pull off because the shape of my body (i.e. calves to big for some boots), but hitting Reset I also acknowledge there's also a lot of things I CAN pull of BECAUSE of it. Yes! Life is Better =)
Keith Fogle
This is a great article. A friend pointed out to me today that crossfit is a lot more than just some gym I go to, it's a gift (and this is coming from a non-crossfitter). And I agree, in the 4 months I've been at atomic, I've accomplished gains physically I couldn't even conceive of before. I really get this is a metaphor for life too — I can do and be much more than what my limited mind tells me. And when I hit a snag, just hit reset, and keep going. Thanks for this article.

An Outside political interest group founded with support of the controversial Koch bothers is back on the attack in Alaska, targeting Sen. Mark Begich after his campaign blasted the group for "stalking off, tails between their legs," after the group yanked more than $100,000 in television ad spots following the shutdown by Koch Industries of the Flint Hills refinery.
The implication by the Begich campaign -- strongly denied by Americans for Prosperity -- is that the conservative group was left shamefaced by the Koch connection and pulled the ads in order to keep a low profile until the dust settled.
Levi Russell, a spokesman with Virginia-based Americans for Prosperity, compared the claim from the Begich camp to "conspiracy theories about black helicopters." In fact, AFP was just waiting for the right moment to run the ads and that moment is now, said Russell.
On Monday, the Virginia-based organization launched a three-week, statewide media blitz that will cost just over $400,000, featuring a television commercial attacking Begich over the concept of a carbon tax. "We're roaring forward like an Iron Dog," said Russell, riffing on Begich's canine analogy during a season of sled dog races and snowmachine contests.
Why is this week the best time to launch the ads, instead of Feb. 10, when AFP had originally reserved television time in Alaska? "It was simply a discussion on our end of the right date to launch it," said Russell. He made no mention of what AFP president Tim Phillips described recently as a discussion over ad rates, as reported in National Journal.
"I can't tell you all the secret stuff," said Russell, adding that the group is busy holding members of Congress accountable across the country and running the Alaska ads came down to a scheduling decision.
At any rate, the ads feature spooky music and creepy slow-motion shots of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. It claims Begich is "on record supporting a carbon tax."
Is that claim true? The fact-checking gurus at Politifact, owned by the Tampa Bay Times, pulled out their Truth-O-Meter to check. On Tuesday, they said it's "Mostly False."
But Politifact also said Begich's record suggests he would be in the "maybe" column if the Senate ever voted on a straightforward carbon tax.
That "if" is a big one. Congress hasn't come close to passing a carbon tax -- a controversial measure that "would impose a tax or fee on oil, gas and coal usage," -- and one that hasn't gained any political traction, Politifact said.
Begich has repeatedly stated that he opposes a carbon tax, something his campaign spokesman, Max Croes, reiterated on Wednesday.
"The latest Koch brothers political attack lasted a single day on TV before an independent fact check organization recognized Mark Begich opposes a carbon tax and declared the ad false," Croes said in an email.
He added: "The Koch brothers and their dark money allies will stop at nothing in their repeated attempts to mislead Alaskans." They're trying to "divert attention from Alaskans' widespread opposition to them closing the Flint Hills refinery, laying off 80 Alaskans and dragging their feet on cleaning up contaminated drinking water."
As for the new ad, Politifact notes that Congress held a pair of votes last year -- both failed -- on amendments to Senate budget resolutions related to the concept of a carbon tax.
Neither was actually a vote for a carbon tax.
One resolution would have made a carbon tax more "politically palatable" by returning revenue from a carbon tax to the public, according to Politifact. Begich voted for it.
"Regardless of how 'palatable' the thing is ... the Kochs' claim he has ever supported a carbon tax is flat wrong," said Croes.
A second resolution would have raised the number of votes the Senate needs to pass a carbon tax framework with the budget resolution, Politifact said. Begich voted against it.
In both cases, Begich was not directly expressing his support for a carbon tax, Politifact said.
But Russell, with AFP, said those votes indicate Begich's "intent" that he would support a carbon tax. Russell said Begich has stated that he opposes a carbon tax "because it's politically unpopular in Alaska."
"But actions speak louder than words," Russell said.
Politifact also breaks down a third argument presented by Americans for Prosperity: That in 2010 Begich signed a letter to Sen. Harry Reid, joining 11 other senators in calling for a cleaner energy policy. The letter suggested reforms involving energy legislation that would help the U.S. compete against China and other countries that are moving aggressively on clean energy industries. It could include "tax incentives, grants, loans and other assistance" to help American manufacturers create jobs and cut energy use.
But it was this part of the letter that Americans for Prosperity zeroed in on: The "scale of the challenge dictates the need for a comprehensive solution that includes making polluters pay through a price on greenhouse gas emissions."
Americans for Prosperity says that's the definition of a carbon tax. Not necessarily, said Politifact. That's just one option. Another might be a cap-and-trade program.
Begich's campaign spokesman told Politifact that the letter Begich signed "was meant to further a general conversation about climate change."
Both the Begich campaign and AFP agree on one thing: The Politifact article is wrong when it said Begich would "maybe" vote for a carbon tax.
Begich is solidly against it, said Croes.
Russell said Begich is clearly for it. "Politifact is giving him a pass on that. His support didn't include those two exact words (carbon tax), but his intent is pretty clear," Russell said.

What is Active Transportation?
Active Transportation describes getting from here to there–whether that's commuting, traveling, or for leisure–using human-powered energy. The term encourages modern commuters to look beyond single operator vehicles and reliance on fossil fuels, and explore how we can incorporate more foot and pedal power into our lives and cities. Walking, biking, taking the bus, even skateboarding–that's all active transportation.
Making bicycling and walking safe, convenient, and fun is an important step in shifting back to people-centered communities. Active transportation inspires safer and healthier and more connected communities. Communities that make active transportation accessible are more equitable economically and environmentally.
Want to learn more about how cities and organizations can promote active transportation? Check out: www.completestreets.org.
In urban areas, trails are vital transportation resources. Portland is Maine's largest urban center, and as the city continues to grow, so too must sustainable and healthy transportation options.
Portland Trails has been building trails that serve as transportation resources for over 20 years. We also advocate for bicycle/pedestrian infrastructure like sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks, and narrower auto-lanes throughout Greater Portland.
Portland Trails works with numerous organizations to ensure safe walking and biking routes in Portland including: the City of Portland, Bicycle Coalition of Maine, Safe Routes to School, and numerous local businesses. We are active in helping to implement Portland's Complete Streets policy, and frequently partner with other local organizations to ensure new developments incorporate resources for commuters who walk, bike, or use public transit.

text: Attenuation of contraction-induced skeletal muscle injury by bromelain.WALKER, JERILYN A.; CERNY, FRANK J.; COTTER, JOHN R.; BURTON, HAROLD W.Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise: January 1992 CASE STUDY: PDF Only Abstract WALKER, J. A., F. J. CERNY, J. R. COTTER, and H. W. BURTON. Attenuation of contraction-induced skeletal muscle injury by bromeiain. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 24, No. 1, pp. 20-25, 1992. The proteolytic enzyme, bromelain, reportedly has therapeutic effects in the treatment of inflammation and soft tissue injuries. We tested the hypothesis that bromelain attenuates skeletal muscle injury induced by lengthening contractions. The left extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle of anesthetized hamsters was injured using a motorized foot pedal which repeatedly flexed/extended the foot through a range of 125[degrees] The EDL muscle was electrically stimulated for 400 ms during plantarflexion. Animals were assigned randomly to either a Od group (evaluated 3-h post-injury) or to untreated (UT) or brome-lain-treated (T) groups, evaluated 3, 7, or 14 d post-injury. Following injury, T received 5 mg [middle dot] kg-1 b.w. of bromelain, twice daily. Maximum isometric tetanic force (P0) was measured in vitro, then muscles were fixed, sectioned, and examined for evidence of fiber damage. The P of injured muscles from T were higher than P0 of injured muscles from UT at 3 (18.7 +/- 0.4 vs 16.5 +/- N [middle dot] cm-2 and 14 d (20.5 +/- 0.6 vs 18.2 +/- 0.6 N [middle dot] cm-2) (P < 0.05), but not 7 d (19.5 +/- 0.7 vs 17.7 +/- 0.8 N +/- cm-2). The P0 of injured muscles were significantly lower than P0 of contralateral control muscles at all time periods. P0 of injured muscles from T were lower than P0 from control muscles at 3 and 7 d (P < 0.05), but not 14 d. The number of intact fibers of 3-d UT injured muscles was lower than the number of intact fibers in control muscles (P < 0.05). No difference in fiber number between controls and the 3-d treated group was observed. Thus, daily oral bromelain treatments of 10 mg +/- kg-1 attenuated the development of contraction-induced injury in hamster EDL muscles. (C)1992The American College of Sports Medicine

War hero amputee fights back to become fitness instructor
A WAR hero who lost both legs in a bomb blast has fought back to forge a career as a fitness coach.
Jay Baldwin ballooned in weight while he recovered from his horrific injuries.
But after a dogged campaign to get back in shape, he is launching his own fitness business.
The ex-sergeant and dad of three lost his legs in 2012 when he stepped on a bomb in Afghanistan.
"After being injured I did gain a lot of weight"Jay Baldwin
Four years on, he has rebuilt his life – and was inspired to become a personal trainer after cycling across the US.
Jay, 30, said: "I had 12 years' military experience where fitness was my life.
"After being injured I did gain a lot of weight."
But the 3,000-mile US trip re-ignited his desire to be in good shape.
Jay, of Crawley, West Sussex, said: "As soon as I returned I was in the gym and a friend suggested I got into personal training.
"If I can do it, I can motivate others. I'd love to help disabled people as well."

Danny Rose has called on Uefa to issue Serbia with a ban after he was the subject of shocking racist abuse while playing for England Under-21s in Krusevac.
Stuart Pearce's side won 1-0 on the night to move through to Euro 2013 but the match was overshadowed by a number of unsavoury events and the Football Association says it has reported "a number of incidents of racism" to Uefa.
Rose, currently on loan at Sunderland from Tottenham, has lifted the lid on the abuse he was subjected to before, during and after the match and says banning Serbia is the only way their fans will learn what is acceptable.
"They have to ban them, it would be the right thing to do," he said to Sky Sports News. "I don't understand how else they can learn from it. They just have to be banned.
"It started when we went out for the warm up. When we started warming over at the opposite side from the bench, they started monkey chanting straight away – in the warm up.
"I asked the lads if they could hear it and they said they could, so about halfway through the warm up I went to see Steve Wigley, the assistant manager, and I told him what was happening. He just said I had to try my best to get through it and they would look at dealing with it straight away after the game."
Rose said what he experienced prior to the match and early in the game was bad enough but that things continued to get worse and more hostile as the match progressed.
He said: "In the first half, when I went down to get the ball and take a throw-in, the fans started again with the monkey chanting. But the first half was nowhere near as bad as the second half.
"In the second half I had two stones hit me in the head when I went to get the ball for a throw-in. Every time I touched the ball they were doing the monkey chanting again. After 60 minutes my mind wasn't really on the game, I was just so angry and it made it so hard to concentrate.
"I could've cost the lads the game because I made a few mistakes with not concentrating. Then obviously we've scored and after 90 minutes worth of abuse I just expressed my emotions as soon as we scored.
"Next thing I know I turned round and all the Serbia players have ran over and started surrounding me and pushing me before a brawl broke out."
Rose was then sent off as the brawl spilled over to the touchline as the players were ushered down the tunnel in dramatic circumstances.
He continued: "I remember getting slapped twice and then I got ushered away and that's when I kicked the ball. I've kicked the ball and the referee has sent me off so I don't understand – the game had finished by then.
"He sent me off for kicking the ball and then everyone heard monkey chanting as I walked off but the monkey chanting had actually started long before I got sent off. As I said after 60 minutes my head wasn't really on the game."
There has been history between Serbia and England before. In 2007, a match between the two countries at the European Championship in the Netherlands saw Three Lions defender Nedum Onuoha racially abused by opposition supporters, resulting in a £16,000 fine.

Tips for Surviving Holiday Travel with Incontinence
6 comments:
Is it okay to post part of this on my website basically post a hyperlink to this webpage? vacation journalReplyDelete
Yes, that is fine! Thanks!ReplyDelete
These tips are useful!... The Incontinence doctor In Beverly Hills states that evaluation of the symptoms requires a thorough discussion of your symptoms with your doctor as well as physical exam. A voiding diary is also a useful tool to help in evaluation. Further testing is typically required which can include radiologic imaging, cystoscopy, and functional testing of the bladder. So consult your doctor as soon as possible and learn more about it... Happy travelling. Thanks..ReplyDelete
Many years of travel experience suggests that it is excellent advice. Everything is very concise and well written. To survive during a long holiday - it is a task. I even collect tips on this subject on my site BeachGiraffe. Thanks for the post.ReplyDelete
The long waits without constant access to a restroom can be a nightmare. But it doesn't have to be.http://www.stockholmfreetour.comReplyDelete
There are several travel websites that provides strict, research-based information fro the travelers. Travel blogReplyDelete

In your constituency
Great Get Together
Cambridgeshire communities got together in memory of MP Jo Cox. The Oakington Big Lunch and Great Get Together took place on the 17th, while at the County Council we held our own Get Together tea party, hosted by Cllr Mandy Smith. It proved a very fitting way to celebrate the life of this remarkable MP #moreincommon.
Priority 'Greenways' routes announced
The Greater Cambridge City Deal has announced Waterbeach and Fulbourn as the first two Greenway cycling routes to be explored, alongside residents, parish councils and local communities. The Waterbeach Greenway travels from the South Cambridgeshire parishes of Milton and Waterbeach, to Chesterton ward in the City; the Fulbourn Greenway from the South Cambridgeshire parish of Fulbourn, to Romsey and Cherry Hinton Wards in the City.
Cambridge North station
Cambridgeshire County Council, the DfT, Network Rail and Cross Country services are in talks about the possibility of a stop for the Birmingham to Stansted service at Cambridge North – all sides are hoping to reach a solution for this issue, but we'll be keeping MPs updated about support we may need from you to bring this to a successful outcome.
In the meantime, look at this film produced by Network Rail of Cambridge North station's development to get an insight into why the project was launched. The station is now open and transporting passengers between Ely, London and Norwich. A formal opening for the station is planned this summer.
Following extensive consultations, proposals to share a number of corporate director roles across Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council have been agreed. The arrangements will replace the ten existing director roles within the CFA team, with five joint service directors working across both authorities, confirmed on 28th June as Charlotte Black (Adults); Will Patten (Commissioning) ; Adrian Chapman (Community and Safety) and Lou Williams ( Children's Services). There was no appointment made to the joint Education director role which will now go to national advertisement. The new structure aims to provide 'one joint voice' for the service and eliminate significant duplication. Each authority will have an assistant director to support these new roles and to help manage the day-to-day running of the services and the new team. Wendi Ogle-Welbourn was confirmed as overall Executive Director.
Ofsted finds an improving outlook for SEND in Cambridgeshire
The County Council were recently jointly inspected by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) in March 2017 to judge the effectiveness of the areas in implementing the disability and special educational needs reforms as set out in the Children and Families Act 2014. The Inspectors were here for 2 weeks and involved many of the partners as part of the inspection as well as liaising with children, young people and parents and carers. Cambridgeshire are very pleased to say that the inspection outlined overall was Good and Inspectors are impressed that the County Council self-assessment reflected the areas for development and improvements. See the full report.
True grit in soaring temperatures
Gritters have been out in force across Cambridgeshire as soaring temperatures have seen roads melting as surface temperatures reach over 40 degrees. In an unprecedented heatwave, tarmac has been melting on to drivers' tyres literally ripping it from the surface.
Listen to the news report which looked into how we are tackling this problem.
Cambridgeshire County Farms - how much do you know?
Since 1907, Cambridgeshire County Council have been operating farms to provide a step on the ladder for new farmers. Today Cambridgeshire's Farms Estate comprises 13,400ha and has 197 farm tenants, and is the largest in the UK.
The Estate provides significant financial returns for the council, generating £4.1 million in rent each year. In addition, since 1993 the sale of surplus properties has raised more than £51 million – helping to keep council tax low and contributing towards council services in our region.
Listen to Hugo Mallaby, our county farm manager talking about our County Farms on BBC Radio Cambridgeshire this weekend – at 13:06mins into the show.
MJ Local Government Award for Joint Commissioning Unit
The County Council has been highly commended in the MJ Achievement Awards announced at a national event in London on Thursday 15th June 2017. The County Council was jointly commended by the judges with Peterborough City Council and Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Clinical Commissioning Group, for the Reinventing Public Services category. Working together has resulted in a more efficient and effective use of resources helping to provide the right intervention at the right time to really make a difference to children and families.
Janet Dullaghan MBE recognised in Queen's Birthday Honours
Janet was recognised for 20 years' service improving the lives of children and families in Cambridge and Peterborough. Not only is she head of commissioning for child health and wellbeing, but she is also a link carer for children with disabilities- providing care at home for children with special and challenging needs to give their families a break.
Cambridgeshire Growth - nationwide recruitment campaign launched
Cambridgeshire archives moving to Ely
Cambridgeshire Archives is moving to a new home at the former Strikes Bowling Alley building in Ely. Plans for the site include an enhanced digitisation suite, so that more documents are available online. The move is due to take place in the late spring of 2018.
Total Transport
This project concentrates on home to school transport to ten village college areas, with the aim of achieving significant budget savings – expanding early principles that vehicles are never filled to their theoretical maximum, that they can arrive slightly earlier or later than currently, that pupils groups can be mixed from primary and secondary schools and that journey times are used to the maximum within the policy and national guidelines. Any changes will be introduced in September 2017.
Contact: Paul Nelson, Interim Head of Passenger Transport Services,
Email: [email protected]
Children's Centres
The County Council has been working with partners on how best to deliver children centre activities across Cambridgeshire. The transformation of children's centres means that activities will still continue and with a greater opportunity to reach out to families within their local area. The team have been engaging a number of parent groups and partners and a public consultation has been planned to launch in July this year.
Ofsted outcomes
The proportion of primary schools judged good or outstanding has risen to its highest ever level at 85.2% (National = 89.6%). There is also great news for secondary schools where the proportion judged good or outstanding has risen to 80.6%: this is above national (78.2%) and an outstanding improvement on the position two years ago when the percentage was below half. Nursery and area special schools are 100% good and outstanding.
School allocations
93.1% of primary school applications secured their first preference – the highest ever and one of the highest in the country. Secondary school 'first preferences' was 92.50%, in line with the previous two years.
Sons of Cambridgeshire publication
Heritage Lottery Funded heritage project, 'The Battle of the Somme,' commemorated the men of Cambridgeshire who gave their lives in 1916. The final element of the project - publication Sons of Cambridgeshire is now available in libraries and at the Archives service.
Google Transit real time data improves travel experience for all county bus commuters
Bus users across the county can now get more accurate predictions for when their bus will arrive using real-time data. Google Transit is using location information fed directly from the Smart Cambridge data platform, supported by the City Deal. This allows commuters to obtain real time updates as buses are affected by traffic and other delays. For the first time in the Cambridge region, commuters will not have to rely solely on the published timetables. Almost all buses in Cambridge now have GPS sensors installed which gives their position - this data is then fed into the platform and processed to give an accurate prediction of arrival time. Find out more
Supporting and Promoting Cambridgeshire
MP support is vital for Cambridgeshire
Working closely with all of Cambridgeshire MPs is a vital area of improvement for the council's administration, following our own May 4 elections.
There are key issues of national importance - like needs led funding, the wider health and social care integration agenda, allocations of school funding etc where we need our MPs to be our voice in Westminster – and as a county council we need to be more clearly outlining the countywide issues which will enable you to support our work in serving your constituents.
Ground breaking deal pays off for Cambridgeshire
Our negotiations to deliver a ground breaking pilot deal with Government to retain additional growth in business rates, netted Cambridgeshire County Council more than £450,000 towards funding frontline services – and benefitted all of Cambridgeshire district and City Councils who retained 80% of the additional growth raised in their area .
Cambridgeshire is one of only two areas in the UK to have successfully secured this concession – Leader Steve Count told the media last week – of the council fighting for a better deal. The money will go on to be used to support services that care for vulnerable children and adults in the county. Find out more
Essential reading for our MPs
An Independent Study on Business Rates Retention in County Areas was commissioned by the County Council's Network that explores the implications of full business rates retention in county areas as a useful analysis of the wider implications of the scheme. Rateable values per head in the capital now average £3,700 compared to £851 in county areas.
Coming soon in Cambridgeshire
The County Council are holding a free event for Cambridgeshire's Looked After Children, Young people, foster carers, residential workers and other professionals for a fun day. Many activities have been organised for the event for everyone to join in and support the event. It will take place on 24th July, 11-3pm at Hemingford Grey Pavillion.

T20: Bandra Heroes beat Ghatkopar Jets
A fine bowling performance by Sashi Kadam helped Bandra Heroes ground Ghatkopar Jets by four wickets to record their second win in five outings in the Twister-Mitsui Shoji T-20 league at Police Gymkhana yesterday.
Sashi Kadam
Ghatkopar Jets, who opted to bat, were unable to take advantage of the wicket and were dismissed for 138 with opener Shabun Shaikh (34) and Ajikya Belose (29) being the only batsmen to fire.
Sashi for his three for 15 off four overs and dogged batting when his team needed most, was adjudged the man-of-the-match.
In reply, opener Mohan Raje (30) along with most of the Bandra Heroes batsmen saw them reach home with almost four overs to spare.

Big Dance Theater
Founded in 1991, Big Dance Theater is known for its inspired use of dance, music, text and visual design. The company often works with wildly incongruent source material, weaving and braiding disparate strands into multi-dimensional performance. Led by Co-Artistic Directors Annie-B Parson and Paul Lazar, Big Dance has delved into the literary work of such authors as Twain, Tanizaki, Wellman, Euripides, and Flaubert, and dance is used as both frame and metaphor to theatricalize these writings. Big Dance Theater has created over 20 dance/theater works, generating each piece over months of collaboration with its associate artists, a long-standing, ever-evolving group of actors, dancers, composers, and designers.
Fourth Arts Block
Fourth Arts Block (FAB) was founded in 2001 by arts & community groups to preserve and promote the East 4th Street Cultural District's rich heritage and creativity. FAB began as a central point of communication and coordination for the ultimately successful purchase and renovation of eight properties from NYC to be used by nonprofit arts and cultural institutions in perpetuity. Our advocacy efforts also lead to the block of 4th Street between 2nd Avenue and the Bowery earning the distinction of one of NYC's two cultural districts. FAB has since expanded our work to comprise various public programs including subsidized rehearsal space for dance, professional development and community engagement workshops, and large-scale public art projects. Moving forward, we are engaging our network of arts and community partners to strengthen the cultural vitality of the entire Lower East Side.
The House Foundation for the Arts
Founded in 1971, The House Foundation for the Arts, Inc. (The House) is a nonprofit performing arts and culture organization with a mission to promote, disseminate and celebrate the work of the iconic American artist Meredith Monk. For the past 45 years, The House has served as a vehicle to share Monk's work with the world. The House provides development, management, production and administrative services for Monk and Meredith Monk & Vocal Ensemble. The House's core programming includes the live performances, film screenings, artist talks, educational programs for young people and workshops for professional artist. The House is committed to building a legacy for Monk and sharing her prolific body of work with future generations of artists, scholars and the public.
iLAND (Interdisciplinary Laboratory for Art, Nature and Dance) is a dance research organization that investigates the power of dance, in collaboration with other fields, to illuminate our kinetic understanding of the world. iLAND is a pioneering organization at the forefront of collaborative art and environmental projects, promoting dialogue and integration between disciplines in creative processes, research, and project development. iLAND believes that the results of such reciprocal research are informed and enriched by the different approaches of artists and scientists. Art and environmental projects are uniquely positioned to address the complicated challenges posed by climate change and the many issues surrounding the use of natural resources. iLAND's programs support the development of sustainable cultural practices, and stimulate and encourage creative and dynamic interactions with the environment.
LEAP (Learning through an Expanded Arts Program) brings student-centered, arts-integrated educational programs and access to meaningful cultural experiences to schools underserved by the arts. LEAP believes that through the process of artistic inquiry and expression, young people become creative thinkers, confident communicators, and collaborative citizens who are prepared to succeed in school, excel in a 21st century career and inspired to be lifelong learners.
The MAP Fund
The MAP Fund is founded on the principle that exploration drives human progress, no less in art than in science or medicine. MAP supports original live performance projects that embody a spirit of deep inquiry. In particular, MAP is interested in supporting artists that question, disrupt, complicate, and challenge inherited notions of social and cultural hierarchy across the current American landscape. MAP supports projects that address these concerns through the processes of creating and distributing live performance to the public, and/or through the content and themes of the work itself. Since 1989, the program has disbursed over 27 million dollars to more than 1000 projects in playwriting, choreography, music composition, and ensemble, site-specific, and community-based performance.
New York Classical Theatre
New York Classical Theatre is the only all-free Off Broadway theatre in NYC. Their mission is to reinvigorate and create audiences for the theatre by presenting all-free productions of popular classics and forgotten masterpieces in non-traditional public spaces throughout the City. The company firmly believes that the themes of the classics remain relevant to the lives of all New Yorkers today.
The Present Theatre Company
The Present Theatre Company created and produces The New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC), which celebrates its 20th Anniversary in 2016. Each August FringeNYC brings together 200 companies from around the world to present nearly 1,200 performances over 16 days in 20 theatres in downtown Manhattan. Forged on the Off-Off-Broadway tradition of self-sufficiency and creativity, the festival is an annual celebration of downtown theater and an opportunity to introduce the vibrancy, diversity, and innovation of off-off Broadway to a larger audience.
Theatre of the Oppressed NYC
Through partnerships with social service organizations and city agencies, Theatre of the Oppressed NYC (TONYC) creates theatre troupes with community members who face pressing social, economic, health, and human rights issues. The troupes create and perform plays based on real-life struggles, which engage diverse audiences in theatrical brainstorming — or Forum Theatre — to activate communities and creatively challenge systems of oppression. Each year, TONYC's Legislative Theatre Festival brings the forum theatre troupes into the room with legislators and advocacy groups to brainstorm policy-level strategies to pressing community issues.
Young Audiences New York
Founded in 1952, Young Audiences New York initially presented chamber music recitals for school children. Since then, its programs have continually evolved to meet the changing needs of children, youth and families, and it has built longstanding partnerships with schools and community organizations and an experienced company of practicing artists across disciplines. Young Audiences New York ensures that its work is informed by research and best practice, leveraging its affiliation in the nation's largest arts in education network, Young Audiences Arts for Learning.
What our members are saying…
"The people who run [ArtsPool] have been in the field for many years and know it from both an artistic vantage point, as well as the tricky business side of our world…It is this institutional memory and knowledge of the field that drew us to ArtsPool, and it is what makes us feel safe in their hands."
Annie-B Parson, Co-Director, Big Dance Theater
"ArtsPool gives us more expertise and collective, real-time knowledge then we could ever afford on our own. Additionally — and importantly — as one of my staff members summed up recently, 'ArtsPool is not afraid of the actual work.' I honestly feel like ArtsPool is a game changer."
Eileen Doyle, Executive Director, Young Audiences New York
"I am confident that this company will change the face of how performing arts organizations are managed; thereby allowing all of us to focus more of our time and energy on the vital artists and art-making that are at the heart of our field."
Virginia P. Louloudes, Executive Director, A.R.T./New York

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller touched off a Dickens of a fuss on Facebook as he let the world know how to greet him during the Christmas season.
"If one more person says Happy Holidays to me I just might slap them. Either tell me Merry Christmas or just don't say anything," Miller wrote Wednesday in a Facebook post that was liked by more than 9,000 and fans and shared more than 5,000 times.
Advertisement - story continues below
The post was accompanied with an image of a cowboy on a steer riding under a pharmacy sign that said, "We will never take the Christ out of Christmas."
By taking his private feelings public, Miller asked for the deluge of disagreements that followed. "Mean-spirited" and "bigotry" were among the remarks aimed at Miller.

"Be thankful someone says something nice to you at all," replied Carole Jones.
"As long as the rules are fair—which means that if you say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to me, I get to slap you because you didn't say Happy Chanukah," wrote Ken Levy.

Many comments, including those from the Texas Democratic Party, wished Miller "Happy Holidays."
Miller replied to several commenters, in some cases wishing people, "Merry Christmas."
When one poster asked if he had ever heard of First Amendment rights, Miller replied: "I am quite fond of it. I also like the 2nd. How about you?"
Miller seemed undeterred by his detractors, as seen by the message he posted Thursday.

"We are just a few days away from welcoming the birth of our savior. As we prepare for Christmas and the joy that accompanies it, I pray that you will thank God for the blessings that come with living in 'one nation under God.' Merry Christmas and may God bless you, your family, our great state, and the United States of America," he wrote.

Kalinda Sharma Quotes
Donna: (to Kalinda) Everything's fine. I didn't talk to anybody. I didn't tell anybody your secrets. And if this guy approaches me...
Kalinda: Blake.
Donna: I won't tell him how heartless you can be, how insensitive, how self-preservation is your number one concern, and after four months, you can barely say hello. I won't tell him any of that, okay?
Kalinda: Your office is... small.
Cary: Yes. Small, but pure.
Kalinda: So, in the third year, do you get a window?
Blake: You think I'm your competition.
Kalinda: No. I don't care if you're my competition.
Blake: Oh. Well, that's good to hear, Leela. I... Sorry. I keep on slipping on that, don't I?
Kalinda: Don't forget to use condoms.
Kalinda: How're you liking the prosecutor's office? It seems to agree with you. You look taller.
Cary: I like the moral clarity. (he walks up to her) Do you miss me?
Kalinda: What if I said yes?
Cary: Well, I'd say, "That sounds about right."
Kalinda: Then... yeah.
Diane: What do you know about Derrick Bond?
Kalinda: What do I know? Well, I did the due diligence. Everything I found, you have.
Diane: What about Derrick Bond and Will?
Kalinda: Sorry?
Diane: As far as I knew, there was no connection between them. I was the connection to Derrick.
Kalinda: You're suggesting there's a link that you don't know about.
Diane: I'm suggesting I'd like to be disabused of that notion.
Kalinda: Then, I'll get to disabusing.
Blake: Did you ever find your extra key?
Kalinda: You knew who I was?
Blake: Yeah. I wanted to see how you'd play it.
Kalinda: What are you, man of a thousand faces?
Blake: No. Just one. Does that flirtation bit always work for you?
Kalinda: Yeah. Are we going to have trouble?
Blake: No. No. As far as I'm concerned, it's your backyard, Leela. Sorry. That's not your name, is it?
Kalinda: Did you see the photo spread? Will in a swimsuit.
Alicia: He wasn't in a swimsuit.

Kalinda: Yeah. In a voicemail. Anything said in voicemail doesn't count.
Alicia: Are you gay?
Kalinda: I'm private.
You won. He lost. So you're gonna turn this into some morbid thing because that's who you are. So, let's go.
Alicia: I'm just so tired of this.

That's the problem with good deeds. They multiply.

Nachos are the perfect food for sharing – just find the right spot in a rowdy bar or cosy pub and you're all set. Here are the best places in Toronto to score some serious nachos.
Sneaky Dee's
With fresh, house-made ingredients and a long-standing reputation, Sneak's has topped many a list with their nacho options like Vegan, Veggie, Greek, Hawaiian and the supreme "Cactus in the Valley," (with options of steak, chicken, vegetable). For a little extra kick, though, have them with the house branded hot sauce.
Hair of the Dog
One bite into the house-made corn and flour tortilla chips and you'll find these nachos offer a different crunch than the rest. Toppings include tomatoes, ground chorizo, scallions, jalapenos, Greek olives, mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Served with fresh salsa and sour cream.
Playa Cabana
Served pizza-style, the Nachos a la Plancha are made with house-made griddled corn tortillas smothered in creamy Oaxacan cheese. The smokiness adds a distinct flavour, and complimented nicely by the spiciness of the Guajillo sauce and chorizo. Playa Cabana is known for their tequila selection and what goes better with nachos than tequila?
Utopia Cafe and Grill
Guests can choose from veggie, chicken, steak, shrimp, or "Utopia," (chicken and steak) varieties. Toppings include fried jalapeños, fresh guacamole, cheddar and Monterrey jack cheeses, vegetarian chili, in-house fried chips, some served on a flour tortilla with a side of spicy house-made salsa.
The Drake Hotel
Simple yet fancy, The Drake's nachos are an example of how the Drake loves to reinvent the classics. The Lobster nachos are a must-try. The jalapeño gives the sweet lobster a nice kick, while the Mornay sauce ties it all together.
The Dock Ellis
The Wonton nachos here are unique, made with in-house fried wonton chips, ground chorizo, mixed beans, peppers, tomatoes, jalapeños, crema, various foraged herbs and blossoms when available. Other options include Chorizo, Bean, Supreme (chorizo and bean).
The Cadillac Lounge
The meat options include pulled chicken or pork, both smoked for no less than six hours. With a little bit of Memphis barbecue sauce tossed in, there's a quality and time dedication you seldom find on nachos. Toppings include freshly chopped tomatoes, jalapeños, green onions, and melty cheddar and mozzarella cheese.
The Kennedy Public House
Definitely try the nachos El Kennedio with kettle-cooked corn tortilla chips, bell peppers, marinated tomatoes, jalapeno and banana peppers, pinto and chorizo baked beans, and jack cheese sauce with salsa, lime ancho sour cream on the side. Other options include steak, grilled chicken, pulled pork, or baked beans.
Junked Food Co.
Doritos Smash Bags are a must-try. They start with lettuce, cheddar, pico, olives, sour cream, chili sauce and a jalapeño and then topped with options like mac and cheese, Dr Pepper pulled pork with jolly rancher BBQ sauce, butter chicken, and Greek ingredients. The original Doritos Smash Bag is vegetarian, starting with your choice of Doritos (Cool Ranch or Zesty Cheese), then loaded with veggie fixings.

A fox was caught in a trap and lost his tail. He was very sad. It was hard to move such body. Every one might rebuke. Lo! death would have been much better than this.
What to do? After thinking a plan came into his mind. He would try his best to make all his specis without tail. Then nobody would be able to rebuke him.
One day he had invited all friends and relatives. In the meeting he said, "Friends, there is no utility of your tail. Why should we carry this? You should cut it down from the rest of your body. Please look at me, how I am? I have cut it. I have become much free."
One fox stood up and told, "Your words are not bad to listen. But I thought you have some intension behind it."

Randy Travis and people questioned by police agree: The country singer wasn't driving a truck that was found tipped over and abandoned in a Frisco field last weekend.
But beyond that, some discrepancies exist in the story of how a Chevy Silverado registered to the Grammy winner ended up near the corner of Lebanon Road and Legacy Drive.
According to a police report released Wednesday, two people told officers that a teenage friend of Travis' girlfriend's son wrecked the truck. Travis' girlfriend's estranged husband, Plano dentist Ritchie Beougher, reported the damaged truck to police, the report said.
Beougher said Travis gave the truck to Beougher's son more than a year ago, according to the police report. Beougher's son then lent the truck to a friend, who flipped it while doing doughnuts over the weekend, Beougher said his son told him, according to the report.
The father of another teenager in the truck at the time of the wreck told police a similar story, the report said.
Beougher's lawyer, Gregory Shamoun, said the story in the report appears to be mostly true.
That explanation conflicts with the one from Travis' lawyer, Larry Friedman. Friedman told The Dallas Morning News on Saturday that the truck was a ranch vehicle that was sometimes driven by a ranch hand. In an emailed statement Wednesday, he repeated that assertion.
"Several statements that were stated in the police report were not true, and Randy had no clue of the whereabouts of the truck and he had no involvement with this incident in any way whatsoever," the statement said.
Friedman's office didn't respond to follow-up questions.
Travis has found his name in several police reports this year. He was cited with public intoxication in February; charged with driving while intoxicated on Aug. 7; and received a simple assault citation Aug. 23.
According to the police report on the wrecked truck, the case is still active. No injuries have been reported and no criminal charges have been filed.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon tribes that once ruled over Britain that the name Cowbit was formed. The name was derived from the personal name Jacob. The surname Cowbit is derived from Cob, which is a pet form of the name Jacob, and is supplemented by the common diminutive suffix -et. Some experts state that the surname Cowbit is a nickname derived from the Old English word cubit, which means elbow. One expert is dumbfounded: "I cannot explain the somewhat common and well-known surname, unless it be a diminutive or corruption of a personal name. " [1]CITATION[CLOSE]

Cowbit Spelling Variations
Cowbit Spelling Variations
Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Cowbit include Cubitt, Cowbitt, Cobbett, Cubyt, Cubbert, Cubit and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Cowbit were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Isaac Cubbert who settled in New York State in 1811; William Cubit settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1866.
