The Minnesota Valley State Trail's Mill Pond channel pedestrian crossing is closed. The bridge, previously located on the northern edge of Memorial Park, was removed in 2016 due to safety concerns with its structure.
Memorial Bridge Assessment Report 2015 [PDF]
City Council Memo: Bridge Removal January 2016 [PDF]
Bridge Replacement
In 2016, the city hired WSB and Associates to design the bridge and determine location options. The city has $300,000 allocated for the project and has received two $150,000 Federal Recreational Trails Grants that require matching funds. Scott County has also committed $50,000 towards the project. In winter 2019, the city received an additional $100,000 grant from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community toward the replacement of the bridge and the archaeological study. However, preliminary estimates for the replacement of the bridge and trail connection are between $665,000 and $789,000.
In addition to re-evaluating the design of the bridge, the city is also working with SMSC to conduct an archaeological survey of the area. The area in and around Memorial Park is culturally and archaeologically sensitive due to the presence of Native American burial mounds.
The project is supported by City of Shakopee, SMSC, Scott County, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and community.

Officer Brian Mulkeen, 33, was shot three times and died of his injuries, according to published reports.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- NYPD officials on Monday said that the officer killed during a struggle with an armed suspect at the Edenwald Houses in the Bronx was struck by friendly fire, according to a report from the Daily News.
Brian Mulkeen and two plainclothes officers had gone to the location to speak with a suspected gang member, Chief of Department Terence Monahan previously said at the Bronx-based Jacobi Hospital, where doctors tried to save Mulkeen's life.
A struggle ensued, and Mulkeen, who was wearing a body camera, uttered: "He's reaching for it! He's reaching for it!" Monahan told reporters.
The Daily News report says that Mulkeen wrestled with the suspect, identified by police as Antonio Williams, before pulling the trigger of his firearm five times — prompting other officers to open fire.
"There's absolutely no worse moment on our job than this," Monahan said.
"As we stand here this morning, a young man with a bright future who courageously patrolled some of New York City's toughest streets has tragically lost his life," he said.

Balor the Irish cyclops wreaks destruction when he opens his single eye and it takes four men to lift his eyelid. The alp-luachra is a type of fairy who crawls down into a persons stomach and feeds off what they eat. To rid oneself of the creature you must eat a large quantity of salt beef without drinking anything and force it to come back out of your mouth through thirst! In this beautifully designed book Mark Joyce brings us on a fantastic journey through Irish folklore with his stories of monsters and demons, accompanied by original illustrations.

The power of the human soul encapsulates the complete sum of this Universe.
We are God. We are basic Universal substance. We are Creators. We are the sea of potential Creation was initially birthed from.
Our guidance interprets what we feel is the purpose of life. There are 13 Chakra points for every consciously developing soul. 7 on-body Chakras relating to the physical manifestations of planetary existence. 5 higher dimensional Chakra points relating to the construction and deconstruction of Unconditional Love within sustaining cycles. The most powerful Chakra point is however the 13th. It is known as the God-self Chakra. It sits directly within your chest behind your Heart Chakra. It's exceptionally rare to find it activated so early on.
When the life gates of God pour into your being, it explodes into and through the Heart Chakra like an unimaginable waterfall filling your entire body with pure Love. Everything I have learned is to awaken the God-self Chakra to connect you back to Source. It transcends the Universe. It connects you as an equal in Oneness throughout the Universal life-stream. No energy is greater than the purity of Source. When you believe you are God, Darkness can't touch you and the Light becomes just another pathway to ascend back into Unconditional Love.
Focusing on the God-self Chakra and exploding it as big as a Sun allows you to feel this Universe as your body. Your conscious mind becomes rudimentary in comparison. Ecstatic levels of heightened energy explode within your mind, trillions of Stars bursting light across a dense sea; Universal consciousness playing to a pattern no greater than One's own.
We can summon this power. Stop externalizing your meaning for life, and become the Enlightened being you were born to be.

South African Film "Flatland" Awarded Support By The World Cinema Fund
All-female western-adventure film, Flatland, has been selected to receive production funding from the World Cinema Fund. It will join the ranks of Oliver Hermanus' Shirley Adams and Donald Mugisha's THE Boda Boda Thieves (Uganda/South Africa) as the only South African films to have received support in the fund's history.
Regarded as one of the most sought after and respected film institutions worldwide, World Cinema Fund is an initiative of the German Federal Cultural Foundation and the Berlin International Film Festival in cooperation with the Federal Foreign Office and the Goethe-Institut. Since its establishment in October 2004, the WCF has awarded production and distribution funding to a total of 119 projects chosen from 2,261 submissions from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Central and Southeast Asia, and the Caucasus. All WCF-funded films produced to-date have screened in cinemas and/or the programmes of renowned international film festivals, and are evidence of the initiative's worldwide success. WCF works to develop and support cinema in regions with a weak film infrastructure, while fostering cultural diversity in German cinemas. It supports films that stand out with an unconventional aesthetic approach, that tell powerful stories and transmit an authentic image of their cultural roots.
Penned and to be directed by Jenna Bass, Flatland was first introduced to the market at the Durban FilmMart in 2012; where it scooped multiple development awards including the Worldview New Genres Award for "most promising feature project". Producer David Horler later went on to participate in a variety of forums throughout Europe in 2013 and at the 67th Cannes Film Festival; concluded a co-production deal between Horler's Proper Film and Germany's Flying Moon Film production, headed by Roshanak Behesht Nedjad and Helge Albers.
Together, Proper Film and Flying Moon commenced financing of the film in July 2014. That same month, Bass's debut feature, romantic-mystery Love The One You Love walked away with awards for Best South African Film, best South African Director and Best Leading Actress at the 35th Durban International Film Festival.
Flatland has been developed with the support of the National Film & Video Foundation of South Africa and the Commonwealth Broadcasting Association's Worldview Fund.
Flatland is a contemporary-set, all-female western-adventure that tells the story of a lonely policewoman longing to reunite with her fugitive boyfriend; while simultaneously tasked with a murder investigation that has a newly-married former housekeeper and a heavily-pregnant teen as prime suspects. Helped and hindered along the way by an ensemble of wayward denizens, the unlikely trio soon become embroiled in a cross-country chase as they navigate the Karoo semi-desert in freezing winter, at times on horseback, all the while in search of a new life and fresh start. This journey of self-discovery, for these three different but equally desperate women, paints a vivid and unique portrait of femininity against a harsh frontier-land and questions what it means to be a woman in contemporary South Africa and the world at large.[Back]

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about using Jing to provide assessment feedback to my students. A few readers got back to me and requested examples. In class, I explained to my students that I had blogged about what I was doing, and that some other educators were interested in seeing some examples. I said, "Some folks want to see some examples. I don't show your last name in the screencast, nor do I speak it, but it's still your work. If no one feels comfortable sharing, that's ok. Really. If you don't mind having your work out there for other educators to see, please let me know." Well, my students are not as shy as I was at their age, because 66% of my students gave me permission to post a link to a screencast of their work. I am deeply grateful to them.
I selected a few to share with you here. These are fairly strong essays; even with permission, I didn't feel comfortable putting unsuccessful work out there for everyone to see. First, let me say that you may not agree with my feedback. You may wonder why I noted one thing and not another. You may see errors that are untouched, or you may think that I am being too easy…or too tough. Please know that every assignment has its own parameters. Some of this was timed, in-class writing. Some of this was extended work. I'm looking for certain criteria as I grade, noting whether or not they met the expectations outlined on the assignment sheet. Grading is a tricky task, and I have to admit there is a part of me that is hesitant to put myself out there, but here goes. If my kids are brave enough, well then, so am I. Besides, the goal of posting the work here is to demonstrate the use of screencasting as an assessment tool. It's powerful.
The examples:
Because of the screencast, I was able to provide detailed feedback about how to fully explain a claim the writer was making.
This is an "A" essay, earning a 93%. I love how the screencast made it possible for me to explain that grade a little more specifically.
This is an example of the first essay of the year. I love how I was able to compliment the writer on her work so far, while noting how she could improve.
In the next example, I was able to pinpoint a few specific sentences that would benefit from revision, and explain why. Instead of just marking an error, I can explain a solution.
Thanks again to my students for putting themselves out there. I absolutely adore teaching these interesting, quirky, funny, talented, and bright young people — every single one of them impresses me in some way. I hope that my feedback helps them grow as writers, and I hope they remember my classroom as a pleasant place of learning.

ISO 9001-2015 has been published by ISO organizationin September 2015. The standard adopts a new higher level structure to make it easier to integrate with other management systems standards such as ISO 14001. More emphasis on management commitment and risk management are among the main changes. According to ISO organization the new standards is less prescriptive than the previous version focusing on performance. Thishas been achieved by combining the process approach with risk-based thinking, and employing the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle at all levels in the organization.
Benefits of the new standard are:
- Greater emphasis on leadership engagement
- Helps addressing organizational risks and opportunities in a structured manner
- Uses simplified language and a common structure and terms, which are particularly helpful to organizations using multiple management systems, such as those for the environment, health & safety, or business continuity
- Addresses supply chain management more effectively
- Is more user-friendly for service and knowledge-based organizations
ISO 9001-2008 will be phased out in September 2018. If you are currently registered to ISO 9001-2008 you need to revise and update your quality management system to fit the new version. Even though organizations are different and steps to take are most likely unique, however following general guidelinesare recommended to get started the transition to the new version:
- Familiarize your organization with the new standard. A correlation matrix is available in the new standard helps you identify if parts of the standard have been moved to other sections.
- Identify any organizational gaps which need to be addressed to meet the new requirements.
- Develop an implementation plan.
- Provide appropriate training and awareness for all employees that have an impact on the effectiveness of the organization.
- Update your existing quality management system to meet the revised requirements.
- If you are certified to the standard, talk to your certification body about transitioning to the new version.
BCI provides gap analysis audits and onsite training for ISO 9001-2015. Contact us for more details.

Chrissy Teigen Hits Back At Critics With An Instagram Post
The 'Sports Illustrated' model – who has been criticised in the past for the way she held her daughter Luna, two – hit back at the online trolls using the caption on her family photo.
Alongside the picture, she wrote on Instagram:
Meanwhile, Chrissy – who also has son Miles with her husband John Legend – previously admitted she felt "super dark" after giving birth as her hormones began to change.
I think a lot of the mood stuff that happens afterwards isn't really talked about, whether it's postpartum depression or really just, for me, some days, I wouldn't know how to cope with work and juggle things and still have time for a husband life.
"And that was really tough for me, and I think just the mere act of losing those endorphins, I think I was slightly cursed by having such a great pregnancy and being so happy and having so much energy, that just the decline of all those endorphins, and all the prenatals and everything I was on and how healthy I was, naturally made my mood change. There were periods where you get super dark.

A few months ago, I encountered a patient suffering from temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), a condition affecting the primary joint responsible for opening and closing the mouth. Her condition had progressively worsened over the past three years with symptoms so severe she could no longer chew without pain. In the mornings, she reported her jaw felt so stiff she struggled to brush her teeth comfortably. Her pain had even stopped her from going out to eat; she was embarrassed to be the only one left at the table due to her inability to chew her food in a timely manner.
Stories like this are all too common for those living with TMD. Not only did this patient's symptoms limit her in everyday activities but also affected her social life and self-esteem. The good news is - TMD can be treated!
Approximately 50% of all cases of TMD are the result of pain/tightness in muscles used to open and close the jaw. (1) Why is this important? Muscle pain and joint restriction can be managed with physical therapy. Reduction in tone of the muscles of mastication (AKA chewing muscles) and mobility improvements in the TMJ can easily reduce one's pain and improve one's ability to eat, speak, and perform everyday activities without pain.
I often get asked by patients, "How do I know if the pain I'm experiencing is related to my TMD?" Here are a few questions that are suggestive of TMD and may warrant an intervention from your physical therapist:
- Does your jaw click when you open or close your mouth?
- Does your jaw deviate to one side, either temporarily or throughout opening?
- Do you have tenderness in your jaw?
If you are experiencing facial, jaw, and/or neck pain and answered yes to any of these questions, you could be suffering from TMD. Don't be discouraged, the right physical therapist is equipped with the skills necessary to treat your individual needs and help you manage your condition. If you're looking for a solution, give me a call. I'd be happy to take a look.

South Sudanese songbird Mary Boyoi is switching lanes. The prolific singer wants to contribute towards nation building in all fields. Many know her as a musician but well she is certain of joining politics. According to the source, Mary Boyoi visited the presidents' office on the 9th of May.
The source disclosed that the singer visited the President at around 1pm and was seen leaving the office at 3pm. The source put it that the Malu ma isim tai singer walked into the office with an envelope full of her credentials. The source managed to have a word with her and she did comply.
In her own words, she told the source, "I am an Educated politician unlike many of our ministers. I talked to my president and he promised to give me a rank in his government. This is good news for me, my fans and the entirety of South Sudan".
We contacted her and inquired what position the President promised her but we were not so lucky. She called us snoops and all sorts of other names. Perhaps she was having a bad day. We plan to call her back sometimes this week, hopefully she will be calm and ready to converse.

How to Stream Netflix to a TVby Nick Miles
Netflix Instant Watch allows you to choose from a library of movies to stream directly to you to watch at any time. You can use Instant Watch on any computer with an Internet connection as well as a host of Netflix enabled devices, such as the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and certain Blu-ray players. Connecting a Netflix-enabled device to your television will allow you to watch movies in your living room or bedroom without having to sit in front of a computer.
Step 1
Connect your Netflix-enabled device to your television. The best way to connect is though an HDMI cable, which will allow you to stream certain content in high definition. If you have a Wii or an Xbox 360 that does not support HDMI, then you will want to connect it through red, blue, and green component cables, which will still allow for HD streaming.
Step 2
Turn on your TV and Netflix enabled device and navigate to the Netflix section. The PS3 and Wii require a Netflix Instant Watch disc that must be ordered from them separately, but Blu-ray players, Xbox 360 and Netflix-enabled TVs will have native Netflix applications.
Search for a movie from the Instant Watch library and select it to play. You can access your Instant Watch library as well as browse for content by category. Once selected, the movie will be instantly streamed to your Netflix-enabled device and displayed on your TV.
- The Xbox 360 requires an Xbox Live Gold subscription in order to gain access to the Netflix application.

The sinking of a Filipino fishing boat by a Chinese vessel in the disputed South China Sea was "just a collision", the Philippine's President Rodrigo Duterte said Monday as he moved to soothe anger over the crash.
The typically brash Duterte urged calm in his first public comments about the June 9 incident, which has fed into outrage over China's expansive claims to the resource-rich waterway.
Critics have voiced anger over the Chinese trawler's failure to rescue the 22 Filipino fishermen after what some Philippine officials have called a "hit-and-run" incident.
"Do not believe those stupid politicians. They want to send the Navy," Duterte said.
"That is just a collision of boats. Do not make it worse," Duterte added as he addressed the Philippine Navy, reiterating the country was not ready to go to war against China.
Duterte has largely set aside the Philippines' row with Beijing over the key waterway to court trade and investments, but he has occasionally criticised China's actions there.
Opposition politicians as well as segments of the public and media charge that Duterte has bartered away Philippine sovereignty with little to show in return.
Following his speech, Senator Risa Hontiveros branded Duterte "feckless & spineless before China" in a tweet.
Manila has filed a diplomatic protest against Beijing as Duterte aides and critics alike blasted how the Chinese boat left the fishermen in the open sea.
However China has denied the claims, saying the trawler merely "bumped" into the Philippine boat and tried to rescue the fishermen but was "afraid of being besieged by other Filipino fishing boats".
In his comments on Monday Duterte said he would await the results of an investigation.
"The only thing that we can do is wait and give the other party the right to be heard. That is important," he said.
The president's latest comments came after his defence minister last week condemned the "cowardly action" of the Chinese boat while his spokesman blasted the abandonment of the Filipino crew as "barbaric".
The Filipino fishermen have stood by their story, saying the Chinese boat deliberately hit them and they then had to spend hours in the water awaiting help.
The crew were eventually picked up by a Vietnamese boat and brought home Friday aboard a Philippine Navy vessel.
The incident occurred in Reed Bank, which is within the Philippines' 200-nautical-mile exclusive economic zone and far from China's nearest major landmass.
Vietnam and the Philippines have partial claims over the South China Sea, where Beijing has staked "indisputable sovereignty" and built artificial islands with military facilities and airstrips.
Taiwan, Brunei and Malaysia also have claims in the area. - AFP

Our cricketers go to hell and back to serve their nation. Hardik Pandya, the young gun of Indian cricketing team, recently had to go through a lower back surgery in the United Kingdom. He posted a photo recently, mentioning that his surgery was a success and he would return soon to play for India. Bowlers like Hardik Pandya put extreme stress on their back while bowling the perfect bowl. Players are trained to perform strengthening exercise since they put abnormal stress on the body and are at a higher risk of injury. But injuries still happen. But lower back injuries is worse in normal people. This is because they are not performing strengthening exercise for the lower back and simultaneously putting excess stress on it. Not as much as cricketers, obviously, but enough to cause an injury. According to a study published in The Lancet, lower back pain affects 540 million people worldwide. Muscle spasms, muscle strains, nerve injuries, degenerative changes are all reasons that can cause lower back pain.
The risk of injuring the lower back is more for an average person.In order to avoid a surgery, here are some lower back exercises that can help you in strengthening it.
Exercises for the lower back
Before you start with the exercises, it is important to understand which muscles are causing the pain. Core and pelvis muscles are the weakest muscle in the back and can sometimes lead to back pain. So, it is best to start with these muscles and then build upon them. Starting anywhere else would only cause injuries. Exercise helps increase the blood flow in the lower back, which reduces the stiffness.
Lower back muscle is supported by gluteus maximus. Pain in one could be the cause of the other. Bridge helps engage gluteus maximus, makes it strong and helps reduce the risk of lower back pain. Lower back muscles often share the stress with other connective muscles so it is important to strengthen them too. To perform bridge, lie on the ground, bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground. Raise your buttocks of the ground. Make sure that your shoulder is touching the ground. Try to hold yourself in that position for 15 seconds, then slowly return back to the ground. Repeat this exercise for at least 15 times.
Lying lateral leg lifts
Lying lateral leg lifts helps strengthen the hip muscles. Hip muscles support the pelvis and reduces strain on the back. To perform this exercise, lie on one side on you body and raise your top leg, keep it straight and extended for at least 2 seconds. Repeat it 10 times with both the legs.
Incorrect posture is the biggest reason for back pain in adults. By performing the superman exercise you will reverse the affects of bad posture on the body. Superman exercise engages the back extensors (muscles that run along the spine). Strong back extensors will help reduce the risk of back pain. To perform this exercise you need to lie down on your stomach. Raise both your hands and legs up in the air, putting the pressure on your back and stomach. Try to hold this position for 10 seconds and then slowly release. Repeat this exercise 15 times for maximum affect.

Jimbo Valentine stands in front of his Hank III mural outside the V Club. Valentine, known for his flyers and photos and art, takes his ambient/doom electronic music project Soul of the Phoenix out live for the first time tonite as part of This Ain't No Disco at the V Club
Reposted from The Huntington Herald-Dispatch
Nobody has been more instrumental in promoting Huntington-area rock shows over the past four years than James Alden Valentine III.
The 32-year old Fairmont native and Huntington resident has, through his Amalgam Unlimited screenprinting and design outfit, been making flyers and designing art for Huntington shows over the past few years, specifically for the V Club.
Whether it's a big mural of Unknown Hinson on the side of the V Club, art for Hank III or Karma To Burn, band photos he's snapped at the V, CD art he designs, or flyers, Valentine's edgy work has been an important part of the Huntington scene.
Now, Valentine will unveil his long-running electronic musical side project, Soul of the Phoenix, live for the first time at the V Club Thursday night. Welcomed and brought out by his friend Brett Fuller (aka DJ Franklin F---in' Furnace) for the "This Ain't No Disco" series at the V, whether you call him a musician or not, you, like his many friends, can call Valentine by his normal name: Jimbo.
"Both playing guitar and singing are terms that be can used loosely," Valentine said over the phone, laughing hard at his own expense, describing the logistics of his first live show.
"Oh man, yeah I'm pretty nervous," Valentine said of getting up on stage for the first time. "I've been stressing out pretty hard. I've never planned on playing this live, so now I'm trying to figure it out. I haven't had as much time as I would've liked, but I'm excited about it at the same time."
Valentine has been busy sorting and arranging the material he'll play live, taking what he does at home with guitar, synth, drum machine and some samples, and playing it off his laptop, mixing in some live guitar and vocals.
"I'm going to incorporate some new stuff, which is called "Meditations." It's a little more ambient. Almost like a little movie soundtrack, with some movie samples sprinkled in."
Valentine has already released six Soul of the Phoenix CDs online, and has enough unreleased material for a few more releases, he said, whether it's "Meditations" or his other solo side project, This Drum Machine Kills Fascists.
Valentine, pointing out he's "not a musician," said he actually comes from a long line of musicians.
"I grew up in a family that played music," Valentine said. "My grandfather is a great old school country steel guitar player, my cousin is a country singer, my mom played piano when I was growing up. I always wanted to make music, but just never got into doing it when I was younger."
While the music may be different (this isn't your grandparent's mix of ambient and doom) Valentine faces the same challenge more traditional performers have always faced: keeping people's attention on stage.
"I'm going to work in a couple of more upbeat tracks at the end, if everyone's still awake," Valentine said laughing.
"I just don't want to bore everyone to death. But that's where the second guessing comes in; 'Oh this is going to drag everyone down, they're going to be nodding off, or whatever.'"
Valentine said he wouldn't be bringing his solo act out live if not for the support of Fuller.
"Oh it's really cool," Valentine said of "This Ain't No Disco." "Every week or so there's been different bands, different styles, and he'll cater his set to whoever's playing. But it makes it comfortable for me. He cornered me and asked me 'Hey man, would you want to do this stuff live?' I've been wanting to but haven't attempted to put it together. So if it would've been anything else I wouldn't have been as comfortable with it. I'm excited to do it, I'm excited to do it at the V Club, those people are like family to me, so I'm excited."
Regardless of whether or not casual show goers like his music, or if it's a "disaster" of a show, Valentine knows he's made a lot of great friends at the V Club in particular and around Huntington in general.
"I've actually made a lot of great friends down here. There are certainly some bad things about Huntington and people that complain about it all the time, but there are great people here who are so supportive of me, especially since I started doing the murals and the art, people come up to me and are like 'Hey, I seen you at the V Club!' That's the diamond in the rough down here for me, is the people and my friends."

*The Field Trip
*A little while back I accompanied Spence's 2nd grade class on their 1st out-of-school Field Trip to a lil' Play. Spencer asked me if I would be one the parents to come. (chaperone) I was so thrilled he would WANT me to go. (Who knows how long he'll want me to do that.) The best part was when we got on the bus, he asked ME to sit on his bench w/ him. This meant alot because lots of other kids were asking him to sit by them. Aw sweet... huh? (While on the bus, I noticed Spence was waving at someone at the front of the bus. When I leaned over to see who it was, I realized it was the girl he likes in his class.."Brianna." -So I did embarass him then. Oops.) I also discovered that many of the girls have giggly-girl crushes on him & one of the boys called him "Spence-my-main-man." -This kid (who looked like a bully) was seriously as tall as me.:? His teacher Ms. "O", told me in secrecy he is her favorite student! ~I always knew he was great, but saw him in a new light that day as I realized how many other people saw how great he was too. I'm a proud Mama!~

He's freaking adorable! I remember a couple of months back you said somethin about embarassing him, so I figured I had a couple of years til I get there...last week, for the first time, Jaden was holding my hand into class, and as soon as he saw his friends he shook it off. Sad! I'm jealous you got to go on a field trip with him!!!

This is the entrance to the Croft Mine. It was a wet wade into the tunnels which had been carved from within a garnet bearing pegmatite fissure. There was plenty of the pegmatite debris lying out in the forest dumps, strewn betweeen the trees and wooden beams that had once been buildngs. Beyond the tunnel entrance the stagnant air and smell of mold was overpowering. My shoulders having brushed the walls appeared to have released a cloud of spores. Bad air, rotting timbers and an unstable roof are but a few of the hazards that are encountered in an abandoned mine. In weighing the odds I felt it sensible to cut my underground explorations short.
I had ventured into the forest to photograph the head frame that was supposedly still standing. The land above was on a steep slope and at times the woods were almost impenatrable. In that crazy tangle the visibility was limited to a stones throw in any direction. I never did find the mine's tower, I dont doubt that it was there, I just could not see it.

Take a break from blue light. Blue light (from electronics) hinders your brain's ability to produce melatonin. Melatonin is the hormone that signals to you that it's bedtime.
- unplug electronics in your bedroom that you're not using
- get blackout curtains/blinds
- wear blue-light blocking glasses
- 2 hours before going to sleep, put away electronics
- put your electronics on "Night Shift" mode
Meditate. Meditation reduces stress and anxiety. It brings awareness to your recurring thoughts which helps you discern the helpful from the unhelpful, especially the thoughts that keep you awake at night. It creates new neural pathways that retrain your nervous system to be calm.
- Start with 5 minutes.
- Add a minute at a time until you've worked up to 20 minutes of meditation.
Take a quiz created by sleep expert Dr. Breus to determine your sleep chronotype. Some people's natural circadian rhythm is to sleep in. Everyone's internal body clock is different. Planning your schedule around your circadian rhythm causes you to be more alert and productive during your waking hours.
Raise the top of your bed frame an inch or two by using bed risers on the bed posts closest to your head. It will take pressure off of your eyes, ears, face, sinuses, and gums. It also cuts down on headaches and migraines. Another positive result is glymphatic drainage, or the flushing of waste buildup. Not surprisingly, brain function increases.
Eat good fats for dinner. Good fats aid the brain in fixing itself overnight because the brain needs fat; it is the organ that contains the most fat in the body. High-quality fats also help you stay asleep all night because they stabilize your blood sugar levels. Food affects your sleep. Some examples of foods that help sleep include the following:
- wild fish
- grass-fed meat
- brain octane oil
- olive oil

Rolls Royce on today has revealed the eighth iteration of the Phantom, their most popular car. The Phantom VIII, like all which preceded it, redefines what luxury in four wheels means and begs to ask the question- Bentley who?
In the detailed press release we got, Roll-Royce has gone to great lengths to describe each and every corner of the car. They have used terms like Embrace and Gallery, which in laymen's terms just means 'to close the door' or 'dashboard', but they do seem infinitely better suited.
|Price in UK
|Release date
|Engine options
|Twin-Turbo V12
|563 hp
Most Expensive 'new' car in the world – RR Sweptail
The Phantom VIII is powered by 6.75-liter twin-turbo V12 rated at 563 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque, mated to a ZF eight-speed transmission. Rolls Royce seems to have provided enough insulation on the car to shut out a whale, and thus making one of the most silent cars available today.
Price & release date: The current generation Phantom's price starts at $420,000, so something above this can be expected. The car could be officially launched at the 2017 Frankfurt Motorshow later this year but no confirmation is available yet.
Here are some of the car's pictures:

|David Mandel
Episode guide
|On the Anni-fucking-versary of the historic House vote. I feel like we're celebrating my frat house gang rape.
– Selina
Omaha is the first episode of the sixth season of the HBO original series Veep. It aired on April 16, 2017.
Synopsis Edit
One year after losing the presidency, Selina tries to secure her legacy; Dan tries to ingratiate himself at his new job; and Amy's brash D.C.-style personality proves too much for her new co-workers.
Plot Edit
Making her first appearance since the election, Selina reflects on her year as an ex-president on CBS This Morning, now co-hosted by Dan. She plugs her memoir, and when Dan probes her about the Tanz pardon, she pivots and announces her foundation: The Meyer Fund for Adult Literacy... and AIDS. Asked about another presidential run, Selina clarifies she has "no plans to run...at this time."
Only Gary and Richard remain in Selina's entourage: Amy, engaged to Nevada gubernatorial hopeful Buddy Calhoun, rallies the troops at his campaign headquarters; Ben adapts to start-up culture at Uber; Rep. Jonah Ryan petitions against a bill for healthy school lunches. Mike looks after his three kids.
After the interview, Selina meets Andrew and kisses him, to Gary's dismay.
Roger Furlong castigates Jonah for his denunciation of green beans -- Ohio's chief agricultural product. Kent swoops in, noting "better-tasting school lunches poll surprisingly well."
Selina arrives at her new office in the South Bronx. Unhappy with the location, she orders Richard to focus his efforts on procuring lucrative speaking engagements. Marjorie, now heading the Meyer Fund, expresses her concern about the fund's focus on AIDS, before leaving for lunch with Catherine. Catherine, the beneficiary of her grandmother's fortune, slips Selina her monthly allowance.
Stevie, a CBS producer, tells Dan he's getting promoted to permanent co-host. Nervous he'll be fired like his past three predecessors, Dan suggests having Jonah appear on the show.
Gary gives Selina options for her portraitist, and Richard updates her on prospective speaking engagements. She pushes him to find a private jet to get her to a speech in Omaha, later admitting she's interested in Omaha since it's a short drive to the Madison Monroe dinner, where you go "if you're gonna run for president again."
In Nevada, Amy tries to run an attack ad but Buddy vetoes the idea.
Gary and Selina play backgammon in Selina's brownstone and Richard shows up to help write her memoir. When they call Mike for help, the former press secretary, now overwhelmed by his kids, asks to be compensated and Selina agrees.
Dan catches Jonah shaving his head before his interview. Jonah admits he stayed bald for the pity, even after he stopped treatment. Dan pushes Jonah's buttons until he loses it on camera.
Selina shares her presidential aspirations with family and friends… and receives no encouragement. She reluctantly agrees not to run. Post-presidential reality setting in, Selina takes a commercial flight to Omaha, as she watches CBS This Morning with host "Danny Egan".

Reception Edit

Trivia Edit
-Selina and Gary playing backgammon in her brownstone was the first scene of season six to be filmed.
-Filmed September 30 - October 21, 2016.
-There originally was a scene in this episode with Jonah's Uncle Jeff Kane.
-Jonah has one of his testicle's surgically removed due to testicular cancer. This is foreshadowed in the pilot episode when Amy is being escorted out of the VP's office by Jonah, Amy remarks "Touch me and you'll lose a finger. And a ball."
-Mike McLintock is watching Bubble Guppies: The Arctic Life on TV.
Timeline Edit
This episode begins one year to the day since the House vote, and the trip to Omaha would be the following Monday, so that would mean this episode took place January 3 - 8, 2018.

There is a railroad not far from here. To the south of it, about ten yards away, there are several warehouses, some abandoned. To the north, there is wild buffalo grass and sunflowers, as far as the eye can see.
I've walked along the tracks many times. The trains still use it to carry coal, their horns echoing out for no one to hear. There are no passengers riding through the middle of nowhere. Who would want to see the dry, brittle part of town where no one lives? There is a reason no houses have been built here. There is a reason why only truckers, on their ways to other places, stop and rest. Why only those who have been turned around and gotten lost drive through here. There is a reason why the roads have not been fixed or filled since they were first put in.
No one has loved this place. This place where warehouses meet railroad tracks, and where tracks meet fields scattered with glass and lost toys. The sunflowers seem so out of place here, like someone tried to cheer this place up and then went home. Forgot.
I will love you, I tell the tracks. I tell the dried out buffalo grass. My feet are bare, but what does it matter, anyhow? I will love you, I tell the warehouses, falling apart with neglect. I will love you, I tell the sunflowers, the only color in this place. Bright, even against the sun gently setting behind the mountains. The grass rustles in response. The sunflowers bow their heads gratefully. The warehouses creak with an enthusiasm not exhibited in years.
The train sounds in the distance.
