Braves 4, Mets 1 (10)
The SportsXchange•
NEW YORK -- Chris Johnson hit a three-run homer in the 10th inning as the Atlanta Braves rallied to defeat the New York Mets 4-1 in the finale of a two-game series on Wednesday afternoon at Citi Field.
Atlanta put runners at first and second with two outs in the 10th on back-to-back broken-bat singles by Andrelton Simmons and Freddie Freeman. Greg Burke, the Mets' sixth pitcher of the game, gave up the home run to left field on his first pitch to Johnson, who hit his 10th home run of the season.
Braves reliever Luis Avilan picked up the win, improving to 5-0, and closer Craig Kimbrel posted his 40th save. Mets reliever Scott Atchinson (0-5) was the loser.
Mets starter Jonathon Niese cruised through five scoreless innings, allowing just two hits. He quickly got the first two outs of the sixth but then hit Jason Heyward in the right jaw with a fastball.
After a brief delay, Heyward was replaced by Jordan Schafer, who scored on a single to center by Freeman after a single up the middle by Simmons to tie the score at 1.
Heyward was helped off the field and examined by Mets doctors. He was taken to an area hospital for X-rays and further evaluation.
Niese waked Gerald Laird to open the seventh and Joey Terdoslavich singled to right, putting Braves runners at second and third with no outs. But B.J. Upton grounded out and Paul Janish struck out on an attempted bunt. Pinch-hitter Philip Gosselin was intentionally walked to load the bases and Niese struck out Schafer to get out of the jam.
In his third appearance against the Mets, Alex Wood gave up one earned run and six hits, striking out four with two walks in six innings for the no-decision.
Niese gave up one earned run and five hits, striking out nine and walking three in seven innings.
The Mets threatened to win the game in the ninth when Justin Turner looped a one-out double to left field and reached third on a groundout to second by Wilmer Flores. Avilan intentionally walked John Buck and then Travis D'Arnaud, pinch-hitting for closer LaTroy Hawkins, worked for a walk to load the bases.
Juan Lagares, who doubled in the fifth, grounded into a fielder's choice up the middle to end the threat and send the game into extra innings. It was the Mets' 17th extra-inning game of the year and the 14th for the Braves.
First baseman Josh Satin tied a club record by reaching base safely in his 29th consecutive game with his second career home run in the fourth inning.
Satin, who singled in the second, tied Steve Henderson's 1977 record. Satin then led off the fourth by taking Wood's 1-1 pitch over the wall in left field.
Niese pitched three no-hit innings before giving up a one-out ingle to left by Simmons in the fourth. Simmons tried to stretch it into a double but was thrown out at second.
NOTES: Mets RHP Jeremy Hefner is seeking a second opinion on his pitching elbow but said he'll probably need season-ending Tommy John surgery. Hefner, who has a partial of his MCL and bone spurs in his right elbow, will meet with Dr. James Andrews next Monday. "I think I wasn't leading on as much as I was because I wanted to pitch, I wanted to play. I was doing well," Hefner said. "Back when I was doing well, I was hurting then, too. When I started to struggle, I was hurting the team so that was the decision to eventually say something."... Braves OF Justin Upton missed his second straight game with a left upper back strain. He is listed as day to day.

We are often told to avoid outside food, as it is not always prepared under hygiene. No matter how attractive the street food looks, its cleanliness is always a concern.
Unhygienic or contaminated food can lead to problems like food poisoning. But having said that, illness can also be caused by foods that are made at home. You can fall seriously ill after having a favourite dish within hours.
In this article, we will discuss reasons why homemade food can also cause food poisoning the symptoms of which are nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea.
1. Water You Are Using: The water supply at home is not pure either; and if you are using it in your food without purifying it (like after boiling it), then you are surely inviting trouble. Do not use tap or tube well water in curries. In fact, tap water can be used for making rice, since the water is boiled and drained out before eating the rice. Use water from the water purifier while making a dish at home or else there will be little difference in the food's quality compared to that available outside.
2. Use Fresh Ingredients: A food vendor on the streets can sell stale food from the previous day for making profit and it is a perfect recipe for food poisoning. At home, we don't treat our diet carelessly and choose fresh ingredients and also those that are stored in refrigerators. If we make the same compromise on quality while making food at home, the result can be equally bad.
3. Contamination By Pests: Outside food is also bad because of the fact that it can get contaminated by insects, as the vendor doesn't take much care about the hygiene because it's just the business which he is concerned about. The kitchens of shops and eateries are also not properly cleaned always and the gathering dirt can spoil the food that is made there, affecting the customers' health. At home, we tend to be more careful and hygienic when it comes to food but, at times, the breeding of insects like cockroaches and flies at home can also contaminate our food and leave us sick. Clean the utensils as well before consuming food. Only storing the food in the refrigerator may not be enough.
4. Dirty Hands: The paani puri seller on the streets takes little care about maintaining hygiene by washing his hands regularly, but you must take care of this fact while preparing food at home. Dirty hands can cause contamination, leading to illness. Use gloves while handling the raw food ingredients or else even homemade foods may not be healthy enough.

Who was Jesus? And how was this first-century political revolutionary, whose teachings are meant to lead the way to freedom, turned into a meek and mild servant of the status quo? How is it possible to profess a belief in Jesus, yet ignore the suffering of the poor and the needy? Just how truly faithful to the vision of Jesus are the many politicians who claim to be Christian? These are the kinds of questions Obery Hendricks, a biblical scholar, activist, and minister, asks in this provocative new book. In this day and age of heated political debate, Hendricks's The Politics of Jesus stands out as much for its brilliant re-creation of the life and mind of Jesus of Nazareth as for its scathing critique of modern politicians "of faith."
Thundering like a biblical prophet against social and economic injustice, racism and political deceit ("Jesus did not establish a bureaucratic institution, weekly social gatherings, or houses of religious entertainment"), Hendricks, professor of biblical interpretation at New York Theological Seminary, proclaims Jesus as a political revolutionary who overturned the unjust social policies of his day. Rather unoriginally, Hendricks suggests that Jesus employed seven political strategies (e.g., "treat people's needs as holy"; "give a voice to the voiceless"; "expose the workings of oppression") in his challenge to the status quo. With cunning insight, however, Hendricks fervently examines the politics of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush-two U.S. presidents who have professed to be following the politics of Jesus-and argues that these leaders fall woefully short of living out Jesus' message of justice, righteousness and steadfast love. Hendricks also indicts church leaders for their complicity with these political figures, condoning unjust wars and corrupt economic practices and not calling judgment on them in Jesus' prophetic voice. Overall, Hendricks echoes the call to Christian social justice that John Howard Yoder proclaimed over 30 years ago in his own book of the same title.

Vehicle LX 4dr SUV AWD (2.4L 4cyl 5A)
Review I drive the Honda LX trim level. 152500 miles (now 171000) and the only none scheduled repair was replacing the blower motor which was 5000 miles ago. Reliable, dependable and good economy car , gas mileage 22-26 or so with AWD. Got the car new. I am 6 ft 2 in tall and 300 lbs + and I am very comfortable driving and riding in this car. Plenty of head space and easy to get in and out of. My wife is around 5 ft and she can easily adjust seat for her. If anything there is some road noice especially when comparing with newer 2015 model cars and the stereo is not the best but it works fine. Great winter car as well (Chicago area Michelin hydroedge tires). Comfortable seats, good visibility. I consider this a safe car based on crash tests however it obviously don't have some of the new technology available in newer models. As to recalls, I think there has been 2 in the life of the car one was airbag related from the big scandal. Utility: easy to fit long narrow items such as for example a 2x4 8 ft long. The hatch can open two ways, only the window or the whole hatch. When I transport something long I open the window hatch and drive with it open - ingenious design. I have a roof rack and there is pretty much nothing for a household I cannot transport. I also have a hitch. Don't use it often but last time was pulling a uhaul trailer small size full with stuff about 300 miles. The tow capacity is not super but made the trip ok at highway speeds. This is not a sports car but suits me well. Since first review battery died but nothing unusual about that. I do have a noise from one of the wheels on the serpentine belt that might need repair soon, but after 171000 miles I am not complaining. This would be a great starter car for a young driver in my opinion.

E&TIM students aspire to lead technology development and engineering, create new technology-enabled ventures, develop business technology strategies, or to design policies to encourage technology innovation. The core courses of the program emphasize the fundamentals of innovation management in theory and practice. Electives enable students to tailor schedules to their technical interests and to specific topics in technology innovation management processes, policies or organizations. If enrolled full-time, students can complete E&TIM in one calendar year. The program features a unique schedule with a program start in January, a required summer internship, and a second semester beginning in the fall. The summer internship experience is "the ultimate elective," providing hands-on experience as part of the technology innovation ecosystem. Students interested in studying a specific technical area in more depth may choose to take advantage of E&TIM's dual degree program.

Alto Atacama Lodge and Spa
Alto Atacama Lodge and Spa
The Alto Atacama Lodge and Spa is a luxury lodge in the heart of San Pedro de Atacama, Region of Chile. We entered the compound from the dusty roads leading into this desert canyon luxury hideaway. We were greeted with a choice of limeade or raspberry juice smoothies.
Tropical Sails Corp Chile solar eclipse tour 2019 will use this resort for three nights for part of our group who want the luxury lodge experience in Chile.
The grounds were clean and seemingly dust proof, considering the surroundings. The rock gardens, alfalfa patches and small gardens all fenced off in a western motif. Visitors familiar with Sedona, Arizona would feel quite comfortable here.
Our luggage was taken to our respective rooms. We were briefed on possible excursions for the evening and the following day. We chose a visit with the resident astronomer and a star party after an early dinner. We were offered a menu of 29 combinations for tours. All the tours were included except hot-air ballooning and a day long trip to Bolivia.
The following day, I chose the Flamingo Salt Flats tour with a visit to San Pedro in the morning. For late afternoon, I chose the Valley of Fire, where we hiked along a trail with old mines, no shade and stunning views of the landscapes. At sunset, we observed the light dancing on the rocks and accenting the color variations in the hills. Of course we have wine, cheese and assorted snacks.
My other excursions were the "spa tour" and a trip to Puritama Hot Springs. On our last morning, I stayed at the resort because our transfer was set for 12:30 pm to the Calama airport. I toured the grounds, the mineral garden and wandered on the decks.
Dining at the resort consisted of a set menu with one item changing daily. I chose the Chilean stew of beef and chicken the first night, the Chilean beef the second. The third night they offered a buffet of Chilean tapas, which were delightful. All the dishes were prepared my Michelin trained chefs and presented spectacularly.
Other pluses of the resort are seamless wi-fi, open bar for all domestic drinks and most wines. Only one dipping pool is heated. (It was mid spring on my visit).
I checked out the Pisco sours and learned how to make one.

Extra Police Put on York Streets After Murder And Attempted Murder

(Updated 3:27pm 21st October 2013)
Detectives investigating a murder and an attempted murder in York have reassured locals it was an "isolated" incident.
It happened at a property on Phoenix Boulevard, off Leeman Road, at around 8pm on Sunday night.
Officers and paramedics found a woman inside who was declared dead at the scene. She hasn't been formally identified, but police confirm she is aged 32 and from the local area.
A second local woman, aged 23, suffered serious injuries. She's now in a stable condition at York Hospital.
A 25-year-old man was arrested at an address at Popes Head Court, in the Peter Lane area, at 2.20am today in connection with the investigation. He's still being questioned by police.
Detective Superintendent Dai Malyn, of North Yorkshire Police's Major Crime Unit, said: "I believe that the suspect we have in custody was known to at least one of the victims and that this was an isolated incident. I can therefore reassure the people of York that there is no threat to their safety. However, I fully appreciate that the incident has caused a great deal of upset and concern in the local community which is why we have put in place visible police patrols in the area.
"Both the scene of the suspected murder on Phoenix Boulevard and the arrest at Popes Head Court have been cordoned off to allow for police examinations. I thank residents for their continued understanding and patience while these very important enquiries are conducted."
Det Supt Malyn is appealing for people to come forward to assist the investigation.
He said: "Officers from the Major Crime Unit are working to establish the sequence of events which led up to the suspected murder. We need to establish the time it occurred and the movements of the suspect afterwards.
"If you were in the area prior to the incident being reported to the police and witnessed or heard a disturbance, I urge you to get in touch straight away.
"I am particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have seen a man matching the suspect's description leaving the scene. He is described as a white, over 6ft tall, with an athletic build and short blond hair."
Anyone who can assist the investigation should contact North Yorkshire Police on 101, select option 2 and ask for the Major Crime Unit. Alternatively, information can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com
Or to provide information anonymously, please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555111, quoting reference number 12130182574.

Electric Multiple Unit Stock
One suggestion has been that trains should be fitted with meters, to measure the actual traction current used and have the TOC billed accordingly. This is not entirely unprecedented - when the Brighton Belle and the 6PUL Brighton line sets were built, they were fitted with meters, so that the Southern Railway could bill the Pullman company for the electricity, from the traction supply, used for cooking in the Pullman kitchens.They continued in this livery until the later 1960s when they were repainted in BR Pullman blue-grey livery. This was rather insipid by comparison, the individual car names were replaced by 'Brighton Belle' and the sets looked rather slab sided in this typically bland 'corporate' colour scheme.

Happiness is difficult to define because it means so many things at once. It can describe the moment, after a long day, when you kick off your shoes and curl up on the couch with a bowl of ice cream, but it's just as good a word for the overarching satisfaction that comes from living a life that is at once challenging and rewarding.
Because it applies to a range of moments, experiences and feelings, from the tiny to the momentous, pursuing it successfully is a complicated exercise. Yet it's a vital one. "We all share the same wish and desire to live a life full of wellbeing," says Richard Davidson, professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of The Emotional Life of Your Brain (Hodder, 2013).
But where to start? Is chasing hedonic wellbeing – that instant surge of positive emotion we feel when we sit back on the coach with a big bowl of ice cream – a good strategy? Is the solution simply to increase our couch/ice-cream time?
Of course not. Most people accept that true happiness is more than a string of moment-to-moment pleasures—instead, it's probably better described as a more constant state of "fulfillment" or "contentedness."
This brings us to "eudaimonic wellbeing," the fancy Greek term for happiness derived from the pursuit of a larger life purpose. Activities like volunteering, building a career or parenting often contribute to this type of wellbeing – while they rarely provide instant gratification (and can be stressful and challenging on a moment-to-moment, day-to-day basis) they help us feel connected, productive and purposeful on a long-term scale.

It turns out, like most things in life, happiness is a balancing act. "Sometimes we're successful at pursuing long term goals, and other times, we give into moment to moment appeal," says Michael Steger, a psychology professor at Colorado State and co-author of Designing Positive Psychology: Taking Stock and Moving Forward (Oxford University Press, 2011).
Fortunately, according to Davidson, it's also a skill that can be mastered. "We can practice certain mental habits that lead to enduring happiness, [such as] changing our relationship to emotionally significant events, so that we don't run away from the negative challenges and crave the positive incentives," he says.
"That's something all of our research indicates can be learned."
To bring yourself closer to happiness, try some of these strategies:
Eudaimonic wellbeing, on the other hand, often requires that we endure what's uncomfortable (the pain we feel as we train for a marathon, say) or sacrifice instant gratification (passing on dessert) in pursuit of a greater good or goal.
Luckily, certain activities can activate both senses of wellbeing at once. "A lot of what we do is pretty blended between the two," Steger says, and gives the example of working in an emergency room. Clearly, it's easy to see how that could fulfill a sense of greater good and purpose, but for some people, it also feels good in the moment.
Related: Why Happiness is Your Secret to Productivity
These are the types of activities we should actively seek out and if possible, shape into a profession. In other words, don't pursue a career just because the end goal is fulfilling and rewarding.
To some extent, you need to enjoy the process: "That will help you when you run into challenges and stay motivated," says Steger. "If you are pursuing a career that allows you to contribute to your family and community but you hate every minute of it, that's going to be hard to sustain."
Get curious. "One of our strongest motivators as humans is the desire to avoid situations that we think are going to be unpleasant; it's powerfully reinforcing behaviour – you feel good because you reduce your anxiety, and in the short term that makes things easier," Steger says.
Unfortunately, that impacts our eudaimonic wellbeing; shutting out everything that makes us nervous, uncomfortable or anxious limits the scope of our world to a suffocating degree.
"In the short term [avoiding discomfort] feels fine. It significantly reduces anxiety. But in the long term, we fail to discover potentially awesome new sources of excitement, enthusiasm and inspiration; we don't meet new people. If all we do is avoid what is too hard, we end up leading restricted, uninspiring lives," Steger says.
So how can we break the cycle? According to Steger, the best antidote is curiosity, anxiety's productive cousin. The desire to learn more can be a strong enough motivator to push us past any initial feelings of discomfort that accompany the unfamiliar.
So cultivate your inner inquisitiveness, recommends Steger. When you have a question about something or someone, pursue it even if it makes you momentarily uncomfortable.
Change your mindset. This relates to Steger's previous point. Often, when placed outside our comfort zone, the tendency is to interpret obstacles as failures, which results in a swift retreat back to what's safe and familiar. (Again: not great for long term wellbeing).
Related: The Pursuit Of Happiness
To disrupt this pattern, Steger recommends redefining obstacles as opportunities. "Remember that a lot of wisdom comes from struggle," he says; instead of equating uncertainty with failure, recognize that not having all the answers can be a learning opportunity; often, it's a marker of personal growth.
At the very least, it's a sign that your life became less boring.
"My background is to try and understand what kinds of experiences make peoples' lives feel meaningful," says Steger. "And safety rarely comes up."
Practice mindfulness. Davidson is a strong proponent of neuroplasticity, the belief that the brain is shaped by experience and training. We're capable, he says, of creating happier brains by practicing meditation and mindfulness every day, even if it's only for a few minutes.
"It's extraordinary how little of one's daily life is spent actually monitoring what's going on in one's own mind and body," Davidson says. In his view, mindfulness is the best method for stopping the anxiety spiral that can result from a feverish focus on the future or the past.
It's not about dismissing negative thoughts, he says, but changing your relationship with them so they don't hijack or ensnare you.
Bottom line: Because life happens one moment at a time, pursuing any long term eudaimonic goal really only works if you also derive some energy from the pursuit itself, says Steger. Otherwise, no matter how important or noble the end-result, the process is simply too abstract to call happiness.

Amy owns the Silver Bullet Bar in tiny Harker Hill, Nevada-the name still makes her roll her eyes, an inspired choice, if she says so herself. And even after all these years, no one's the wiser that she not only owns Harker Hill's only bar, but she's also the town's only vampire. Amy's got it all figured out; keep the residents happy, whether that means selling them booze or taking them to bed, keep it low key and keep them alive. She's been happily tapping the local supply of blood for decades. But when the mysterious stranger arrives, he threatens to destroy Amy's little utopia. And what's up with him arriving in the middle of the night?

Elizabeth Scherle is the co-founder and president of Influenster, the product discovery and reviews platform that enables product junkies and beauty mavens to find and test new items while getting advice to make better shopping decisions. Basically, like having that friend who knows what to try and buy in your pocket at all times. The community has over 3 million members who have written over 13 million reviews, which is helpful when you want to get the real scoop on a shiny new product. Originally from a 171-person town in Iowa, Elizabeth took a leap of faith and moved to NYC where she worked her way up at a fashion events start up before co-founding the company. So how does this beauty boss start her hectic work days? Scroll down to read her entire morning routine.
7:30 A.M. When the alarm on my phone goes off, I grab it and hit snooze for another 15 minutes (depending on the day, of course). I tend to stay up past midnight each night from either socializing, working, or simply enjoying some me-time in my apartment (reading, art-creating, life-strategizing, etc.) so I try to squeeze in as many last-minute zzz's as I can!
Once I'm up, the first thing I do is check the daily stats on Influenster. We get email updates every day on how many new users joined, how many reviews were generated, which brands and products were the most searched on the platform, and more. I also tend to have big ideas that pop up in the mornings (and nights) so I shoot off notes to the appropriate teams before I lose my thoughts. Lastly, I go through emails and take a quick look at Slack to make sure that there's nothing urgent.
7:45 A.M. I make coffee at home (cream and no sugar!) This is a must before I do anything further. Right now, I'm drinking a local brew from my recent trip to Cuba. Then, I turn on NPR's "Morning Edition" so I that I know what's up in the world.
7:50 A.M. Shower time! I try to wash my hair as infrequently as possible so it's typically a quick shower with Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body-Buffing Cleanser – a refreshing pick-me-up scent and exfoliator that reinvigorates the skin. I wash my face with Olay Active Botanicals Refreshing Gel Cleanser that I had tested through a VoxBox a few years back and am still loyal to – its application is silky smooth and makes my skin feel like butter!
8:05 A.M. As I've gotten older and wiser, I make sure to take ample time to properly care for my skin. And you'll see that I'm a bit of a product junkie – which probably isn't surprising considering that I get to test new products and read reviews for my job all day!
First step is Ole Henriksen Vitamin C Truth Serum to prep my skin and treat dark spots. After that, I put on eye cream; I'm loving 100% Pure's Coffee Bean Eye Cream right now. For my combination skin, I use the hydrating oil-free moisturizer from Shea Moisture called African Black Soap Problem Skin Moisturizer because it hydrates where you need it to and normalizes the oily areas. My last step always involves applying SPF and I go for La Roche Posay Serum in SPF 50.
8:20 A.M. I have so much makeup and switch up my look daily so it's hard to say what's typical. If I have limited time, I'll do a quick application ofMAKE UP FOR EVER Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation on the cheeks and blend it out using a damp EcoTools Perfecting Blender Duo followed by concealer under my eyes to cover those hereditary dark circles I've had since childhood. I never leave the house without filling in my brows (I swear this takes years off); Lancôme Le Crayon Poudre Powder Pencil for the Brows is my weapon of choice. Also, a brush of Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector gives a much-needed glow to my paler-than-my-body complexion. Finally, I finish off the look with YSL's new The Shock mascara and a nude gloss.
8:45 A.M. I plug in my hair dryer for a quick volumizing blast to my roots instead. I'm obsessed with huge hair and aim to make it as big as possible. My favorite products for a good lift? Not Your Mother's Girl Powder Volumizing Hair Powder if I'm looking for instant texture at the roots. If I've gone a day or two longer than I should have without washing my hair, I count on Bumble and bumble Pret-a-Powder to soak up the oil and mask the fact that I'm on Day 5. It must work – no one can ever tell (or they don't say anything ☺).
8:50 A.M. I don't plan outfits in advance and usually go with the flow depending on what I'm doing and feeling that day. And every day is different! For example, if it's a client day, I'll wear something très chic like a black leather dress with my Valentino tote. If it's a more casual day in the office, I'll wear black jeans, a nondescript tank, beige over-the-knee boots and some sort of a hat (a fedora for sunny days or large stocking cap for blistering cold days).
Since I live in Brooklyn, I have to plan my day ahead and pack accordingly. Am I doing a video shoot? Attending a ballet class later? Going for a client dinner? Heading to an indie band concert? Whatever the needs are (usually flats), I pack it all in my favorite leather backpack by a local NYC designer, Kara.
9 A.M. When it comes to my morning commute, I switch it up daily since I live in Williamsburg. If it's tolerably nice (e.g. over 40 degrees and not raining), I work out both physically and mentally by walking across the Williamsburg bridge, plugged into my favorite podcast, to our office in TriBeCa. I'm an avid listener of Freakanomics and Hidden Brain (and anything psychology-related that gets me thinking in a different way).
9:30 A.M. Once I reach TriBeCa, I grab more coffee! I usually hit up the Dunkin Donuts across the street from our office for a raspberry almond milk latte. Once in the office, the first thing that I do is snuggle with our office mascot and also my business partner's pooch, Chaplin, a 4-year old lab mix.
9:45 A.M. Down to business! As co-founder of Influenster, I oversee most parts of the business. Hence, my A.M. meetings can range from product development discussions where I'm approving app designs or ideating new offerings to add to the platform, to account management sessions where we're discussing client success and strategy. Also, since I still lead the sales team, I split my time between running the business and selling the business to core clients, which means I dedicate much of my energy to meeting with top beauty brands to brainstorm and present the best partnerships to help them achieve success. I feel really lucky because each day is a different adventure – and as someone who gets bored with monotony, I'm in my element!

Track 3
ow much do you know about the history of some of your favorite foods? Do
you know when people in England started cooking curry dishes? Do you
know in which country pizzas or hamburgers were first made? The facts
might surprise you.
Many people think the English found out about curry from people in India in
the 1600s. In reality, wealthy English people were eating dishes made with curry
spices hundreds of years before British ships traveled to India. Cooks of wealthy

Hurricane Who?
Track 5
ropical cyclones are called typhoons in Asia and hurricanes in North and
South America. These storms go around like a wheel turning to the left when
they hit in the northern part of the world. They have wind speeds of 60 kph or
more. In the United States, the Tropical Prediction Center in Miami, Florida keeps an
eye out for hurricanes.
When meteorologists detect a hurricane, they give it a name. They can use
either a male or female name. Why should tropical cyclones have names? The name
makes it easier for people to keep up with information about a hurricane and its possible
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO), an
international weather group, decides what names will be
used. The WMO makes lists of names using the English
alphabet. Each name on the list starts with a different
letter. The first hurricane of the year gets the first
name on that year's list. The second hurricane
gets the next name. For example, if the first
hurricane is named Abel, the second might be
named Betty. The name lists do not include
names beginning with the letters Q, U, X, Y, and
Z. There aren't many names that begin with
these letters.
Asian countries use a different list, which
is made up by the WMO's Typhoon Committee.
This list has a few personal names, but most of the
names are of flowers, animals, trees, and other similar

How Did Those Get in There?
Track 7
young actress is about to go onto the stage. As she waits by the side of the
stage, she looks nervous. You might hear her whisper to her friend, "I've
got butterflies in my stomach." Butterflies in her stomach? How did those
get in there? The feeling of butterflies comes from chemicals produced by the body
in stressful situations.
One chemical that the body makes under stress
is cortisol. This chemical benefits the body in normal
situations. In fact, it helps the body start normal activities in
the morning after waking up. It also plays a role in helping
the body and mind respond well to healthy exercise.
However, when the body is under stress, extra cortisol begins
to affect the stomach. For some people, cortisol shuts down
the stomach, producing the funny feeling of butterflies. For
others, cortisol speeds up the way the stomach works, which
makes these people feel sick.
All you need to do to get rid of a few butterflies in the
stomach is just relax. Laughing with, or talking to, others
about your stress can help reduce it. Stepping out onto the
stage will also help those butterflies fly away.
Reading Time _______ minutes _______ seconds
nervous: a little afraid or worried
chemical: a thing that can cause an effect in
our body

from work, studying, etc.

Voller has no Ballack regrets
Bayer Leverkusen's Rudi Voller insists he does not have any regrets about signing Michael Ballack.
By Thomas Zocher
Last Updated: 15/10/10 5:59pm
Bayer Leverkusen general manager Rudi Voller insists he does not have any regrets about signing Michael Ballack this summer.
The Germany international moved from Chelsea on a free transfer in July while suffering from an injured ankle which kept him out of the World Cup.
He has since gone on to make four appearances for the Bundesliga outfit before fracturing his shinbone in Leverkusen's 2-2 draw with Hannover on 11th September.
He was expected to return in late October but will now be sidelined until after the winter break after the injury turned out to be more serious than first thought.
Despite his injury-plagued start back with Bayer, Voller insists he has no regrets in signing the 34-year-old.
Not know
He told BILD: "No one was to know he would get injured so seriously, he is the sort of player we were missing out on last season in different kinds of aspects.
"He can stand up and fight and he has to fight his way back into action now, then he is going to have some good years left."
Ballack has not featured for the national side since March, when he picked up his 98th cap in the friendly defeat to Argentina.
Voller believes the midfielder's future is in his own hands, saying: "Michael will decide everything on his own with his performances. It will be fully his decision whether to be back in the Germany squad or not."

Published: Friday 16th January 2015 by The News Editor
Police looking for a student who went missing after a night out with friends have been scouring river banks.
Shopkeepers in Durham have put up posters, scores of fellow students have joined searches, and a Facebook campaign to find 19-year-old Euan Coulthard has been "liked" more than 2,000 times.
The law student has not been seen since shortly after midnight yesterday, since when he has not responded to emails, texts or online messages, which friends said is out of character.
Police were searching the banks of the River Wear close to Durham city, and fellow students were keen to join in an urban search for popular Mr Coulthard, who comes from Nottingham.
Mountain rescue experts were also involved, checking steep wooded areas.
Mr Coulthard is a member of Durham University's St Mary's College and was out on Wednesday evening, celebrating a friend's 21st birthday at an Italian restaurant.
He went on to the Love Shack nightclub and was later seen leaving alone. He was last picked up on CCTV crossing the pedestrian Framwellgate Bridge.
Mr Coulthard is 5ft 9in, of average build, with light brown hair, which is short on the sides and longer on the top. When last seen he was wearing black skinny jeans, a denim jacket and a beige patterned shirt.
Inspector Dave Coxon said: "It is now about 39 hours since Euan was last seen and, obviously, as time gets on we are increasingly concerned for his welfare.
"Officers have been searching the area where he was last seen and have progressed along the river banks this afternoon. Searches will continue over the weekend."

Whether you are shopping for a baby shower, are looking for gifts for a new mom or just need some cute and adorable items in your own baby's wardrobe, Mark and Graham offers many different choices for a classic style combined with cute overload.
Delight the new mom in your life with a gender-neutral, adorable wide-brimmed straw hat for her little one. Perfect to keep the sun out of baby's eyes or a wonderful accompaniment for professional photos, this straw hat is easily monogrammed on the brim with baby's initials. This paper straw hat is made of breathable and flexible materials, so as not to hurt baby's soft skin or to be too hot during the summer months. Choose from monogramming in different colors to add a spark of brightness to this adorable straw hat.
When it comes to winter weather, every child in a chilly climate needs adequate protection from the cold air and snow. A mitten and hat set is the perfect gift, offering classic style with functional durability. The acrylic-and-wool mix is non-irritating, but still soft enough for young hands, and the set is easily personalized with a child's name, making it an excellent gift at Christmas or during the holidays. The simple, neutral colors make this gift a perfect option for both girls and boys, and parents appreciate such a thoughtful and personalized gift. Another way to keep the chill out during warmer weather is a knit bunny hat. Perfect for spring, this hat is an ideal gift for babies up to 12 months of age. Easily monogram and embroider this adorable hat, complete with bunny ears in pink or beige. The hat color itself comes in either gray or ivory, allowing you to purchase this gift well before a birth if the gender is not yet known. Cute for both boys and girls, the acrylic, nylon and wool construction is non-irritating while keeping the chilly air away from baby's head. Pair this hat with a similarly colored baby blanket to absolutely melt a new parent's heart.
When it comes to clothing, every baby needs a cute, but warm pair of socks as well. Opt for an infant sock set, which is great for babies from birth through 12 months. This set of three socks comes in gender-neutral colors and is suitable for all babies. Long after the socks no longer fit, these will be a treasured keepsake for both mom and child for years to come. Another necessity for every baby is a bib. Whether the baby is breastfed, bottle-fed or on solid foods, every baby needs a cute way to keep his or her outfits clean during feeding time. Choose from a variety of different baby bibs from Mark and Graham, all with the ability to be personalized. Keep in mind that even monogrammed gifts come in six to eight business days, so if you're in a hurry right before a baby shower, your gift will arrive on time. Not only can the bib be monogrammed with initials or the baby's name, you are able to add a meaningful word or message. Choose from a variety of different bib colors to give a wonderful and personalized bib for the holidays or another special occasion.
