Endurance training is the physical activity associated with increasing aerobic fitness. Aerobic fitness is the ability of the heart and lungs to supply nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and other tissues of the body. Through training, the heart, lungs, arteries, blood vessels and major body organs learn to work together more efficiently in response to vigorous physical activities.
Endurance, also referred to as stamina, is the ability to sustain long, stressful effort.
Endurance training activities include many low to medium intensity exercises that increase the heart rate, such as bike riding, running, and fast (power) walking, performed for very long periods of time. The goal of endurance training is to reach the target heart rate, in turn strengthening the heart muscle.
The main goal is to engage in an activity that increases the heart rate, such as running, swimming, or cycling, three times a week for at least 30 minutes. The word training implies that the exercise is done on a regular basis and not sporadically.
There are a variety of different ways in which endurance training can be practiced. For example, running or jogging several to hundreds of miles, or swimming hundreds of yards to dozens of miles. There are also many different types of endurance training, most of which can either be done alone or in groups.
Fartlek training
: This training combines various endurance training techniques. The foundation of the therapy is a long, slow run or cycle combined with a short burst of higher intensity exercises. There is no standard format for this type of training.
Long, slow distance training
: Long distance runners usually practice this type of training. Its requirements are minimal: a good pair of sneakers and a place to run. It is performed at a medium intensity, about 80% of the maximum heart rate, also known as the target heart rate. Intensity is often measured by the "talk test". The athlete should be able to hold a conversation without getting out of breath. If an athlete is training for a race, the duration of training is often the length of time expected to be running in the race. Otherwise, the training is often between thirty minutes and two hours long.
Pace tempo training
: This type of training is a slightly higher intensity, and is usually done for 20-30 minutes at a constant pace. It can be performed intermittently or in intervals, and consists of shorter bouts of training with brief resting periods. The athlete should progress by increasing the duration, rather than the speed, of running, cycling, swimming, or other endurance exercises.
Recommendations for starting an endurance training program should be in the context of an individual's needs, goals and initial abilities. These aspects will affect the amount of time allotted and the intensity of the effort. A warm-up and cool-down incorporating flexibility exercises is also typically recommended to balance the maximum benefit of exercising with the minimum risk of injury.
Theory / Evidence
In theory, endurance training allows a person to obtain a greater capacity for physical activity. In addition, endurance training and aerobic exercise are thought to help lower blood pressure, lower triglycerides, increase HDL, regulate blood glucose levels, enhance digestion and bowel regularity and enhance circulation and cardiac output. People who exercise or do endurance training often have a lower risk of heart disease, depression, type 2 diabetes and cancer. In addition, patients who train may have an overall enhanced sense of well-being.
Based on clinical studies, endurance training in obese adults may improve glucose tolerance and alter muscle lipid content. The beneficial effect on glucose levels may prevent the development of type 2 diabetes in these individuals.
It has been shown that endurance training of less than two days a week, at less than 50% maximum oxygen uptake, for less than 10 minutes a day is inadequate for developing and maintaining fitness for healthy adults.

"Sorry about that." He jammed his free hand through his hair. "But I didn't expect... that is... dammit. This probably isn't a great idea. I mean... I'm sure lots of guys would find you attractive. In a pint-size high school cheerleader type of way. But with the two of us working together... not smart. Sex clouds the senses. I think we can both agree that we need to keep our wits during this thing."
Eve gaped at him, her mind sorting through the carelessly offensive remarks. Somehow, coming upon her uncomfortable earlier musings about him, high school cheerleader seemed the most insulting. "I know sixty-seven different ways to call you a jackass." She slapped the now wrinkled sheet of paper against his bare chest, tempted to pin it there with her knife. "None of them do you justice."
"What's this?" He smoothed it out, squinting at it in the shadows.
"The reason I came in here. That, and my overpowering and yes--thanks for the clarification--unrequited state of lust."
He went silent and a part of Eve was gratified by the pained expression on his face. "Ah... I'm going to blame that on a brain muddled by sleep fog.
As apologies went, his didn't go far enough.
[...] the man had, in the space of a second held her immobilized with a gun to her temple. Had outraged her with his awkward refusal of a sexual encounter she hadn't even offered.
Oh, just leave it to our broody alphas to think that everything will eventually lead to sex. Granted, Eve had been admiring him, but she had other more important priorities in mind than sneaking into his bed to seduce him. Nonetheless, this scene at the end of chapter three was so much fun that I couldn't stop grinning.
Very much enjoying the newest Mindhunters installment and I love the premise just the same. Eve is a hyper-polyglot, which is apparently someone who is really good with languages. She speaks sixty-seven different languages, including dialects and can read and write in about fifty of them. She's also really good at looking out for herself, as proven by how quickly Declan dismisses her small, petite stature as being weak and in need of protecting, but then she pulls a knife on her attackers without batting an eye. And she's smart enough to use this particular trait to her advantage, able to handle any weapon and think on her feet upon an attempted kidnapping.
As far as story and romance goes, if our couple is going to have this kind of awkward chemistry to start, I can't wait to see what kind of combustible chemistry they can have when Declan decides that Eve is his type of girl. He's dismissing her now as too small and too young looking to even draw his attention, but we'll see where this leads. Especially since the two have to pretend to be married to accomplish their big mission.
And Eve... so far, I'm loving how nonchalant and no-nonsense she is. I also like that she just kind of lets people assume things about her without saying anything, thus effectively keeping all of her personal information and secrets intact, then using her quietly acquired knowledge to her advantage when the times necessitates.
This will be SO MUCH FUN!

Despite what most social media science news publications will lead you to believe, science doesn't, and shouldn't, always have an end application. In that way, it's similar to the trend of stretching out ear lobes or, for that matter, any body modification that leaves your dear old granny nauseous.
Take a recent discovery from Harvard University (home of the sexually harassing football team): the creation of "time crystals". Just that name alone makes me imagine a glowing, angular rod of awesomeness which, when slipped into the rectum, has the ability to manipulate time and transport you back to when you didn't care about interest rates. The reality, however, is that the applications of time crystals are currently unknown. So, if it doesn't cure cancer or make your smartphone better, why has it been published in the super fancy journal, Nature?
Reading the peer-reviewed paper (here) to find out, is about as useful as a magician with no palms.
"We observe long-lived temporal correlations, experimentally identify the phase boundary and find that the temporal order is protected by strong interactions. This order is remarkably stable to perturbations, even in the presence of slow thermalization."
What the fuck is going on? It's like it was written by a person who hasn't had any intimate contact with actual humans, due to a sexual attraction to anime characters. I guess that makes sense…
Time crystals are a new form of matter that, until now, have only existed in theory.
In normal crystals, atoms are arranged in repeating and predictable patterns. In the common crystal example, table salt, there's a neat structure of sodium and chlorine atoms repeated over and over again. In time crystals, the structure of the atoms operates in relation to time rather than in relation to space. (stay with me…I understand that your brain has just decided it's not worth reading on)
The time crystals, created by the Harvard scientists, were small diamonds which had been treated so that loads of impurities were present in the crystal structure. Within each of these impurities, there are electrons. The electrons in the impurities have a property which is known as spin – either up spin or down spin.
The electron's spin direction reacts to microwave pulses by flipping 180 degrees. Typically, we'd expect an electron's spin to change with each pulse, but in the case of the time crystals, the spin changes after two or three pulses, not every time you microwave it. In other words, this structure responds to time, not just external forces.
After a load of microwave pulses, the spins could start to get out of sync and become randomly orientated. In the time crystal, however, the interactions between the impurities keeps all of the electrons spinning in the same direction.
So, I guess that's cool but what about applications? Does it cure cancer or make smartphones better?
No. The anime bothering scientists don't really know what the applications are yet, but to make themselves sound more sciency, they included the words "quantum" and "computing" so other researchers would take them seriously.
The lead researcher Mikhail D. Lukin said: "I haven't got time to explain my research to you for your stupid blog".

Yesterday's catwalk at the Missoni show in Milan was the week's high point in a show of bohemian independence mixed with style. Missoni's unique knitwear patterns are often described as kaleidoscopes of ziggy-zaggy stripes in different shapes in designs, tremendously pleasing to the eye. Short and long dresses yesterday were paired with sweaters, all in the softest colors. We also loved the look of devotees who attended the show. Here are a few of them, plus a glance from the runway.
Eugenie Niarchos was at the show, in a comfy state of mind and jacket. Ugg Australia Women's has the shoe coverage for Eugenie. Here it is, the Ugg Australia Women's Bailey Button Triple Boot Black Suede, with chic wooden buttons. The boot spells freedom–it can be worn up or cuffed down to suit hemline or mood.
Elena Santarelli shows her bohemian vibes in a whisper-soft knit dress with a design that evokes village pottery. Minnetonka Moccasin has the complement, using wonderful color too. This is the Minnetonka Moccasin 504T Studded Moc Purple Suede.
Jeffrey Campbell had a surprising recent debut of bold and daring new looks but it is obvious he is as usual steps ahead in the trend lines. A model yesterday showed a beautiful jacket of softest yellow against a lightweight long dress. We love this Missoni look and we love this Jeffrey Campbell Vee Multi Print Rain Boot as its shoe mate.

Too much exercising is never good for these dogs. They can get respiratory issues and heatstroke, which ultimately keeps them in bad health.
French bullies can be trained well with your efforts. They require different activities at variable times because repetitive training sessions can ruin their interest and can be boring for them. Frenchies get mixed interests and require a lot of efforts from the trainers to show their activity outputs.

We sustained President Spencer W. Kimball as a prophet, seer and revelator. I could add "teacher" to those titles.
President Kimball taught me, and others, about a key location in Church history when we visited the Far West Temple site in northwestern Missouri on Sept. 2, 1978. He had gone to Missouri on Sept. 1 to dedicate the Independence Missouri Stake Center on Sept. 3. He and Sister Camilla Kimball and others visited some Church sites on the day in between. (Please see "Visiting sacred ground with a prophet of the Lord," Church News, Oct. 22, 2017.)
A little background: Many Saints had gathered in the wilderness area of Missouri's Caldwell County by the mid-1830s and built the city of Far West as a temporary place of refuge. Joseph Smith and his family arrived at Far West in March 1838. "The following month, God revealed to the Prophet that Far West was located on holy ground, and the Saints were commanded to build a temple [there]. Cornerstones for the temple were laid during a celebration in early July" ("Revelations in Context: Far West — Caldwell County, Missouri"; history.lds.org).
The planned temple's cornerstones were still in place and visible when we visited; however, the rest of the land at Far West had returned to its natural state with grass, trees and shrubs. The cornerstones and inscriptions on stone markers provided the only clue that this was an important historic site. One inscription, titled "Prophecy Fulfilled," read:
"On July 8, 1838, a revelation was given to Joseph Smith concerning a future mission of the twelve apostles, beyond the seas. The date of their departure, April 26, 1839, was set, and they were to leave from this spot. The prophecy was fulfilled despite the efforts of the enemies of the Church to prevent the meeting that was held on this site agreeable to the prophecy."
President Kimball told us about some of Far West's history. He looked over the landscape and said, "I have been very much interested in traversing these areas. It is interesting to be on the Far West site where the Twelve received their call to go to foreign lands. My grandfather, Heber C. Kimball, who was in charge, was called to go to Britain."
He then shared with us some of his rich Missouri heritage. "Camilla's grandfather was here in 1855; it was the Indian Territory Mission based in Oklahoma then. My father came about 1882 to 1884; I came in 1914 to Independence.
"As a missionary I did not see this area. I had heard of it but, in 1914, much of the history of this area was lost."
President Kimball served as a missionary from 1914 to 1916 in the Central States Mission, headquartered in Independence. It was the same area where his father had served (and later presided over as a mission president, but doing so based in Utah) as well as his stepmother and an older brother.
As we traveled along the highways and narrow dirt roads of northwestern Missouri, someone in our van read from journals of some of the early members of the Church who had been at Far West and nearby sites.
President Kimball said: "It's great to think that they — Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball and others — were actually on this same ground. Of course, most of their traveling was done by walking."
As we rode along, I wrote in my notebook about being in such significant places in Church history and being taught about them by a prophet of the Lord.

Good Intentions!
I have now decided I will leave the drawing of the competition until Wednesday when I have finished the new aprons and can show you them properly. In the meantime, just so you don't think I'm completely useless I can show you a little sneak peak of one of the new aprons which I personally think are well worth the wait!
If you are wondering why I am saying 'aprons' you will have to wait until Wednesday and I will reveal all.
Now I'm off to cook a lemon tart. We are having a barbeque with lamb cutlets done in cumin, garlic and lemon juice, chicken marinated in sesame oil and soy, sausages (of course), chargrilled sweet potato, zucchini, asparagus and red and yellow peppers, tomato, basil and bocconcini salad and potato salad. I will prepare a yummy antipasto to start and have already roasted some marinated mushrooms - mmmmmm! My girlfriend is bringing her delicious pavlova and the kids will get some banana and choc chip muffins. Not a bad spread all round topped off with a few bottles of champagne - it is the races after all!
So I'll be back on Wednesday with a winner and some aprons and hopefully I'll back a winner tomorrow!!

The valley, sandwiched in RAMSAR area is equipped with two observation towers where you can spot the many species of birds in the area. One of these towers, visible from Romea highway, is placed under the embankment of the River Lamone, and the other, about 2 km further north with a small parking lot adjacent to the Ca 'del Chiavichino (not visible from the street), can also be reached from estate Augusta.
Access to the valley is free and open from sunrise to sunset.
The oasis of Bardello, located east of Valley Mandriole along the Romea highway, is the only lawn submerged freshwater zone, while the dune like system , has created a series of depressions characterized by a rich vegetation of plants hygrophilous.
Several species of orchids and scrub vegetation is found in the dry zone.
The parking (not guarded) is reachable from the Romea highway or shores onto the dirt road that skirts the left bank of the river Lamone, excellent starting point to visit the northern part of S. Vitale pine forest.

In his demeanor and behavior Mysterious Dave Mather greatly resembled Doc Holiday in his anti-social behavior. The first of three sons Dave was born on Aug 10, 1851 of Ulysses and Lydia Mather. With his younger brother, Josiah Wright Mather born 11 Oct, 1854, David Allen Mather made his way West. Josiah also became somewhat a noted figure but never achieved the notorious reputation of Mysterious Dave. Josiah died in 1933 in Grangeville, Idaho with his boots off. However the Mather brothers were know as tough costumers and Dave was a particularly hard case with few redeeming features.
According to biographer Jack DeMattos, Mather probably made his appearance in the west in post 1870 where it appears he had some association with a gang of outlaws in Arkansas before moving on to achieve notorious in a area as diverse as Texas to Missouri. The first mention comes from New Mexico Where he mixed gambling and other crooked activities in Las Vegas, a wide open wild and woolly area as ever lived in the west. Here he became acquainted with several Dodge City types prominently Doc Holliday (as you might recall from the Holliday chapter doc roared here until invited to leave). Also here he probably met Wyatt Earp with whom he engaged in the gold brick scheme (see the Wyatt Earp first chapter)
While in Las Vegas he became ambitious and applied for and secured a position as a Deputy U. S. Marshal. This while he was under suspicionof alleged stage coach hold ups. and other robberies. He was never charged with any of those crimes, instead he was busy perusing and arresting his alleges cronies.
However Mysterious Dave is best remembered for his tenure in Dodge City. He arrived in May 1883, at the time of the so called "Dodge City War" ( see the chapter on Luke Short). Dave did not get involved in this mess fortunately for him. On June 1, 1883, Dave became a assistant city marshal. He celebrated by having the only known photograph of himself taken. He is seen with his left arm resting on a colomon, his coat buttoned with the top two buttons as was the custom of the day and wearing his hat with a ribbion around the band proclaiming him as assistant city marshal. Mather's is wearing the ever necessary droopy moustache, No firearm is in sight. He was also appointed as a deputy sheriff of Ford County. Not everyone was pleased by his appointment, One man even wrote the governor that the the police force was becoming a haven for thugs. If any action was taken it is not recorded and Dave stayed on the job. At the time the marshal , Jack Bridges was earning $100 a month and his assistant $75. that was good money and the council boosted the wage to $150 and $125 respectably. A editor wrote a coulomb stating Dodge City pays its Marshal $150 and his assistant $125 and addition allows them to kill a cowboy or two each season. Both lost their jobs with the next election when the new mayor a old time saloon owner replaced them with Willian (Bill) Tighman (see Cattle Anne and Little Britches) as marshal and a Tom Nixon as his assistant.
Dave retained his positionas a deputy sheriff, but became embroiled in politics, which were in turmoil, when he joined the democratic party. Kansas had introduced Prohibition to mixed reactions. Bad blood existed between Mysterious Dave and Tom Nixon since Nixon had taken his assistant marshal's job. Added to this Nixon was in partnership with a Orlando Bond in a saloon-dance hall. Mather interred into a partnership with a Dave Black and wanted to open the Opera House as a dance-Hall. On May 22 the city council passed legislation which forestalled the Mather-Black Oprah House stating it was unlawfull to operate a dance hall where men and women could dance and carry on in any other way. However some how it did not apply to the Lady Gay owned in partnership with Nixon. Selling only liquor in the Oprah house was not profitable and was further complicated by pressure applied to local liquor dealers not to do business with the Opra House.
It soon became obvious to Mather-Black that Nixon was in the process of ruining them. And it was only a mater of time before trouble would come into the open. Tom Nixon had a shrouded past as a buffalo hunter. He had a small ranch outside of Dodge where he and his wife Cornelia were raising a small family. Rumor had it that the saloon dispute was a smoke screen and the real trouble was a affair between Mather and Cornelia Nixon (this has never been verified).
Tom Nixon made the first move on July 18, 1884. As Mather stood in the open doorway of the Oprah House , which was located in a upper story, Nixon crept to the bottom of the stairs and fired up at him. Mather's was not hit, just powder burned and hit by flying splinters. Sheriff Pat Sughare ran up and disarmed Nixon and escorted him over to the jail. Mather said he was not armed and Nixon disagreed and claimed Mather had gone for his gun which is why he fired. Mather dismissed his wounds as superficial and would not press charges. Most people opined that the mater was not over. Nixon was bound over on $800 and was to appear in the next court term on charges of attempted murder.
A local merchant said that mysterious Dave Mather was a wicked man, a killer of killers. It is stated that Mather's had more dead men to his credit than any other man in the west (I have seen this several times but never any evidence to support the claim). However On July 21, 1884 at 10 PM Dave added one more to his list. He shot and Killed Tom Nixon. In a newspaper article titled THE MURDER it states Dave Mather descended the stairs of his establishment and as the assistant marshal was on duty at the corner of Front and First Ave. he called out Nixon's name and shot him four times as he turned around. Two shots hit him in the right side one on the left and one passing through his left nipple killing him instantly.
Mather's was immediately placed under arrest and a preliminary hearing scheduled for July 30. There are lengthy testimony available, but I am not going to rehash it. Most felt Nixon was unaware of the danger until the shooting started. However after much wrangling the trial was moved from Ford county to Kinsley, Kansas on Dec 30 the Jury retired for 27 minutes and returned with a not guilty verdict. They felt Tom Nixon had got what he had coming to him.
Mysterious Dave Mather's subsequent career was fraught with scrapes and his final disappearance lived up to his name, no one knows for sure what happened to him, he simply disappeared. A body found along the tracks of the Central Texas Railroad was thought to maybe be him as the general description fit, but the body was too badly damaged for true identification. His brother later said " we do not know what happened to Dave, we wish we knew"
Like I say he was described as a deadly killer but no names or incidents are provided MYSTERIOUS TO THE END.
Well gonna straddle the old saddle and lope on out of here, till next time

The problem started when the husband of the young student of medicine divorced his wife after seven months of marriage in 2004. Then, he filed a claim against his ex-wife and her supervising professor, Khaled Zahrani 32, demanding the court to punish them because they were talking regularly on phone! According to the husband's claim, his wife and her professor were hiding their "phone" affair with talk about scientific issues related to their work.
The Saudi law, based on Islamic Shari'a, prevents man and woman who are not members of the same family to exist together in the same room, in compliance with the Hadith of Prophet Mohamed "Whenever a man is alone with a woman the Devil makes a third." Apparently, the modern Saudi judge who issued such an unjust verdict against the two innocent physicians had to modernize the Hadith to include "phone" as a "room" that man should not exist at, "alone," with a woman!
Most of the Saudi citizens were delighted by the court sentence, as they believed that this was an adultery relationship, though on the phone! On one of the most read web forums in Gulf, Al-Zohoor, a hot discussion was initiated regarding this case under the title: "May Allah curse the man who tempts a woman to leave her husband." All of the comments praised the confirmation by the appeal court on this unjust and unjustified verdict.
On the international level, several NGOs and human rights groups, including Amnesty International, blamed the Saudi government for not letting the professor and the student free. Amnesty International also considered the two young physicians prisoners of consciousness. Khaled stated that he was denied access to lawyer and the court prevented him form having any chance to defend himself and his innocent student, from the very start. The young professor believe that the only way out for them now is to appeal this unjust verdict to the Judiciary Council, where all cases are reviewed by the King of Saudi Arabia, himself.
In regular adultery cases, the Islamic Shari'a stipulates that there must be a proof on adultery; at least three witnesses other than the husband and/or the physical context where the adultery was committed. In this case, the court listened only to the husband and built its verdict upon his unproven suspicions. There are no witnesses at all or even a physical context. The professor was hired by the hospital he works for to supervise the thesis of this female student in 2002. They never met each other before this date or outside the professional context (hospital and university). Moreover, the usual verdict in adultery cases is only 100 lashes and no imprisonment applied. In this case, both innocent victims were sentenced to hundreds of lashes and long months of imprisonment. Absolutely, this is not fair! This is not of Islam! But, there is no doubt that this is of

Union members protest imminent job cuts at SUNY Downstate Medical
Warning that a major round of job cuts is imminent at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, hundreds of Downstate workers from three labor unions rallied outside the medical center calling for a stop to the job reductions. Members of United University Professions (UUP), the Public Employees Federation (PEF) and the Civil Service Employees Association (CSEA) demonstrated to emphasize the dire consequences that would stem from a new wave of significant job cuts.
"Downstate is a beacon in Brooklyn for hundreds of thousands of Brooklynites who rely on the hospital for vital health care services," said UUP Downstate Chapter President Rowena Blackman-Stroud. "These job reductions would weaken Downstate's ability to care for the community, put thousands out of work and shake Brooklyn's weak economy to its core. These job cuts must be stopped."
Citing the ongoing audit that the state comptroller is conducting on Downstate's finances, Blackman-Stroud said it would be "irresponsible and incomprehensible" to proceed with job cuts before the audit is completed.
Dozens of workers at Downstate already received notices their jobs were being eliminated.
"We stand in support of our brothers and sisters of UUP and CSEA to prevent further layoffs which would endanger medical services to the 400,000 patients that Downstate annually serves," said PEF Division 198 Council Leader Don Morgenstern. "Downstate Hospital is vital to Central Brooklyn and its closure or downsizing would endanger the lives of hundreds of thousands of local residents."
"SUNY Downstate is a vital health care institution in the heart of Brooklyn," said Lester Crockett, president of the CSEA Metropolitan Region. "We join our brothers and sisters in UUP and PEF in fighting to protect our jobs and all the important services its well trained and professional staff provides. They are already doing much more with less and additional cuts in jobs and services will be devastating to this mostly black and Caribbean, working class community."
The unions are urging Gov. Andrew Cuomo, SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher, SUNY Board of Trustees Chairman H. Carl McCall and state Health Commissioner Nirav Shah to stop any and all additional job cuts at SUNY Downstate. Brooklyn residents can send electronic letters to each official and petition the governor through a newly created UUP website at http://savejobsatsunydownstate.org.
Downstate is a major academic medical center for health education, research, and patient care—and is the only public teaching hospital in Brooklyn. It serves Brooklyn's 2.5 million residents, as well as patients from Staten Island and Queens.
UUP represents 35,000 academic and professional faculty on all state-operated SUNY campuses, including nearly 3,300 workers at Downstate Medical Center. It is an affiliate of NYSUT, the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association, and the AFL-CIO.
PEF is the state's largest white collar union representing 54,000 members in professional, scientific and technical positions.
CSEA is New York state's leading union, representing about 300,000 employees of the state and its counties, towns, villages, school districts, library systems, authorities and public benefit corporations. CSEA represents nearly 800 workers at SUNY Downstate.

So here you go:
Which books or authors of the last ten years will you re-read? And why?
Passions rose to the surface quickly and here are some of the Tweeters' tips:
Crimson Petal & the White by Michel Faber
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
Half Blood Blues by Esi Edugyan
Augustown by Kei Miller
A God In Ruins by Kate Atkinson
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
As for future classic authors: Iain Banks, David Foster Wallace, Roberto Bolano, Arundhati Roy, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sarah Waters, Terry Pratchett, Eimear McBride, Margaret Atwood and Neil Gaiman received general approval.
Are today's bestsellers future classics or flavour of the month?
Will YA and children's fiction provide many of our #future classics? Emphatic agreement here, citing Philip Pullman, Mallory Blackman's Noughts and Crosses, Matt Haig, JK Rowling and Mailbox by Nancy Freund
Is genre fiction as likely as literary fiction to become a classic?
Strong feelings on this one as participants felt strongly about Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, and various works by Ian Rankin, China Mieville, Emily St John Mandel, Becky Chambers, Mary Renault's Alexander books or Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy.
Future classics from poetry?
Suggestions included Sharon Olds, Steve Roggenbuck, Claudia Rankine, Seamus Heaney, Simon Armitage, Geoffrey Hill and Linton Kwesi Johnson, even if not all were in agreement as to classic status.
Classics often help us see the world differently. Which contemporary works have done that?
Mentions of Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman and Murakami's Wind-up Bird Chronicle while Dan Holloway made the point that non-fiction books might be future classics: Malcolm Gladwell's Tipping Point and Freakonomics; Naomi Klein's canon and poetry of Claudia Rankine's Citizen.
Will #futureclassics encompass a more diverse range of experience?
Recent examples, not only of authors but initiatives, cropped up, including Javier Marias' The Infatuations, Marlon James, Sapphire, Citizen, the Jhalak Prize, VIDA Lit and the Bare Lit Festival.
Discussions continued for long after our allotted hour, so big thanks to all our contributors:
Looking forward to next #triskeletuesday, when we're discussing #dialogue

Magnolia Bark: Uses & Benefits for Anxiety Treatment
- by Faith Franz
- Health & Wellness
- Oct 8, 2012
Nearly half of all cancer patients experience abnormally high levels of anxiety after their diagnosis. Although anxiety is a normal response to a threat, it can lead to debilitating complications, such as nausea, irritability, insomnia and palpitations.
Doctors usually prescribe benzodiazepines to manage these complications by altering GABA receptors, the parts of the brain that regulate mood, sleep and anxiety. The pills are fast-acting and effective, but they are also associated with severe symptoms, including:
- Cognitive impairment
- Muscle weakness
- Confusion
- Aggression
In some cases, benzodiazepines can even worsen insomnia or intensify a patient's depressive symptoms.
To avoid these side effects, some patients turn to natural health alternatives. One such alternative is magnolia bark, a powerful botanical that has long been a staple in Chinese medicine.
Magnolia Bark and Honokiol for Anxiety
Magnolia bark is known for its antidepressant, anti-nausea and antibacterial properties. Most of these benefits are attributed to honokiol, a woody substance found in the bark and cones of magnolia grandiflora.
This bioactive compound is also a powerful anxiolytic (antianxiety) agent. In one study, rats received daily injections of honokiol or diazepam (Valium) for seven consecutive days. Both treatments were similarly effective at relieving the rats' anxiety. Interestingly, the dose of honokiol was only half the dose of diazepam required to produce the same results.
Honokiol works by activating the same GABA receptors that certain antianxiety pharmaceuticals target. Many naturopaths use magnolia bark compounds to treat generalized anxiety, anticipatory anxiety, panic disorders and other similar conditions.
Studies also indicate that honokiol is less likely to cause negative side effects than prescription antianxiety medications. In one comparison of honokiol and diazepam, lab rats treated with diazepam experienced hyperactivity, disrupted learning, abnormal sleepiness and muscle relaxation. Honokiol-treated rats did not experience any of these symptoms. The researchers from this study also suggested that honokiol was less likely than the diazepam to induce dependence, amnesia or depression.
As an added bonus, some studies have shown that honokiol can induce programmed cell death in several cancers, such as lung cancer. In some cases, this may even help improve a patient's response to treatment. One Chinese study found that lung cancer patients who took honokiol throughout their chemotherapy regimen responded more positively to cisplatin than patients who did not take the compound.
Honokiol and magnolia extract pills are available over the counter in several different forms. Honokiol is available on its own or as part of a general magnolia bark supplement. Magnolia bark is also one of the ingredients in Hange-koboku-to and Saiboku-to (all-natural remedies that combine five and 10 different herbs, respectively). Although these remedies are available without a prescription, patients should always consult with a naturopath or oncologist before adding them to their treatment regimen.
Since your diagnosis, have you tried any natural approaches to managing anxiety? Let us know on Facebook or in the comments below.

HPPC has a long-standing relationship with China that began in the 1920s. Former HPPC senior pastor, Rev. Dr. Clayton Bell, was born in China where his father, Lemuel Nelson Bell, served as a Presbyterian medical missionary at Love and Mercy Hospital in the Jiangsu Province for over 25 years. The hospital expanded under Bell's leadership and became the largest of the Southern Presbyterian overseas medical missions.
As a missions-driven church and in partnership with ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians, we are continually seeking the Holy Spirit's guidance for new church plants both here at HPPC and in the community. In 2010, we felt called to minister to the Chinese community of Dallas by sharing the love of Christ and more about our Western culture. In partnership with Rev. Ben Wang (born in Beijing, China and Chinese pastor from Los Angeles), the Chinese Mandarin church was born in April 2011.
After continued growth in numbers and under the leadership of Rev. Wang, the church plant has a Sunday worship service, Saturday Fellowship and weekly small groups to study and discuss the Bible. Please continue to pray for Rev. Wang and the Chinese Mandarin Church Plant; that by being rooted and established in love, may have power to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:17-18).
Visit our mandarin language page for information about our church in Mandarin.

Look at these sad, worn, torn, legless chairs! They were in worse shape than your average Goodwill donation, but they had one thing going for them: they were loved. Okay, they had two things going for them: 1) they were loved; and 2) they belonged to an owner who knew about the value of reupholstering worn out chairs.
A longtime customer, Pam brought us these chairs years after she intended to. She just didn't know what to do with them all that time! We are glad she brought them in because we had covered our showroom in swatches and trims before the story was entirely out of her mouth.
And look at them now! The genuine leather seats and true cowhide sides and pillows come together at a solid nailhead base and sit atop understated wood legs. Now everyone in Pam's family knows just what to do with these chairs.
No matter what shape your furniture is in, we can turn them into true, usable works of art. Get in touch to find out what we can do for you.

alright! so another monday. i probably mention this everytime, but time is flying!! i have no clue where it is going. all i know is that today was a HORRIBLE day for allergies! it was so awful! but here are my nails for this week!
i used essie's after sex. it's a beautiful red color. probably one of my favorite reds when put on alone. it has a bit of shimmer to it, but not thick chunks of glitter. so it goes on nice, and comes off nice with no mess.
the other color is china glaze's black mesh. but how did i put those two colors together. simple!
i put the black on top of course! china glaze, which i'm assuming you guys have seen before?, has come out with this line called 'crackle glaze'. it's pretty cool. you won't always get the same spots and lines, and it's hard to judge at first how much to put on. if you put too thick a coat, it won't work. but overall, it's pretty simple to use. and if you put the right color underneith it looks awesome! i highly suggest a bright yellow, pink, green, and so on. anything bright! though my red is nice... now that it's spring, time for something bright!
i had bought this polish a good 3 months ago at least. honestly, i thought it was just black nail polish. and, to my surprise, when i got home, it didn't just go on! i thought i had bought bad polish! and i was so mad. .... not gonna lie, it took me a couple of days to actually do that thing we call reading, those small words on the bottle. well, i ended up liking it, and doing it again. :)
so hopefully i can post some pictures this week of the photoshoot i did a few weeks back. and i just did another one this past weekend! so hopefully i can get those pictures soon. because, the person being photographed was yours truly, me! so i'm excited to see how those turned out.
until next time

Pharmacogenomics is the section of genomics that deals with the influence of genetic variation on drug response in patients by correlating gene expression changes and/or Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) with a drug's efficacy or toxicity. This field has the aim to use genomic data to optimize drug therapy, with respect to the patients' genotype, to ensure maximum drug efficacy with minimal side effects. These approaches are also known as "personalized medicine" or "individualized medicine" - drugs and drug combinations are optimized for the individual's genetic and genomic characteristics. Pharmacogenomics is the whole genome application of pharmacogenetics, which examines the interaction of drugs with single genes.
The impact of phamacogenomics in today's medicine
Some examples of the impact that pharmacogenomics and personalized medicine have in oncology are: 1) Testing for disease-causing mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are implicated in familial breast and ovarian cancer syndromes. The discovery of a disease-causing mutation in a family can inform individuals that are carriers and as to whether they are at higher risk for cancer and may prompt individualized prophylactic therapy including mastectomy and removal of the ovaries. This testing involves complicated personal decisions and it should be analyzed carefully by detailed genetic counseling; 2) Minimal residual disease (MRD) tests that are used to quantify residual cancer, enabling detection of tumor markers before physical signs and symptoms return (predictive tests). This assists physicians in making clinical decisions; 3) Targeted therapy is the use of medications designed to target aberrant molecular pathways in a subset of patients with a given cancer type. One example is the drug Herceptin which is used in the treatment of women with breast cancer in which HER2 protein is over-expressed. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib (Gleevec) have been developed to treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), in which the BCR-ABL fusion gene (the product of a reciprocal translocation between chromosome 9 and chromosome 22) is present in >95% of cases and produces hyperactivated abl-driven protein signaling. These medications specifically inhibit this new fusion tyrosine kinase (ABL) protein and are thus a prime example of a drug specifically designed based on the tumor characteristics and on pathophysiology of the disease.

We all drink dinosaur pee. Or at least the water we drink was also in the bladders of dinosaurs. Things come and go but the supply of water on the planet is stable. We have as much as there has ever been. But while stable it is also mobile. The water that may have fallen as snow on west coast mountain ranges a few years ago might now be blanketing east coast cities. Which got me thinking the other week when I tweeted:
So are Cali brewers actually setting up avaricious branch plants elsewhere or just setting up their escape routes?
As is usually the case, I didn't really put much thought into that tweet… or any other. It's just tweeting… and it's just beer. But ever since that clever man Stan got me thinking about the impending ceiling on the capacity to grow more barley and hops, the story playing out as California brewers seek second homes elsewhere in the United States and elsewhere in the world as me wondering if water supply is as much or more a danger to the expansion of good beer. Has the water moved away? A long way away? Last summer, the Los Angeles Times quoted the state's brewers association's executive director as saying if the drought "continues for two, three more years, that could greatly impact the production and growth of our breweries…" Earlier this month, an op-ed piece in the same paper said there was now one year's worth reserves left. It's not just bans on new swimming pools. Farms are in trouble.
Last week, the state government indicated how serious the issue was when it voted to spend $1,000,000,000 of water infrastructure. In emails back in February, Stan and I talked about the cost of creating the agricultural infrastructure to provide the over 100% increase in hop production – the extra 28 million pounds of hops – required for the US craft industry to hit the 20% in 2020 goal set by the brewers association. Is it 1,000 acres at $10,000 to buy and upgrade the acre? Or is it 2,500 acres at $20,000 to buy and upgrade? Whatever it is, it is not a billion dollars. But if the state invests that much money in securing new water supplies, who will get to use it and for what? Do breweries come ahead of playground water fountains?
I know. These are really broad and maybe dumb questions. Well, maybe not dumb as unrefined. Fortunately, others are smarter including at UC Davis where they have a California Drought Watch program which includes considerations for the brewing industry. And, yes, breweries are taking steps to help conservation efforts but will it be enough? Or is the best strategy to move with the water, to diversity through relocating? I guess all we can do it watch. Each brewery is going to have to make decisions about the long term and whether its more about stability or mobility.

Park's Playground
Competition: Beyond the Centerline
Sponsor: Fisher Brothers
Site: New York, NY
Size: 150,000 sqf
Status: Shortlisted, 2018
Beyond the Centerline was an open call for ideas to reinvent the medians along Park Avenue in New York City. Park's Playground was 1 of 17 proposals shortlisted and publicly displayed at Park Avenue Plaza.
Park's Playground expands the public access of Park Avenue down one level below the existing street to create a pedestrian experience secluded from the noise of vehicles passing overhead. The current median is replaced by a series of eleven 20'x200' openings to let light and air into a subterranean arcade stretching from 46th to 57th street. The openings frame a series of covered and uncovered spaces that house entry points, vertical circulation, skylights and signage.
The arcade is sandwiched between Park Avenue and the Metro North Rail Tunnel, comprised of a 30' wide double loaded public corridor and gathering space centered under 20' wide openings. A colonnade straddles each side of the corridor and provides structural support to Park Avenue above by housing 30' wide square commercial bays. Tightly knit rows of storefronts subdivide the facade of the arcade and provide dining, food & beverage and retail spaces.
Park's Playground provides over 150,000 square feet of leasable space over eleven blocks and could generate a gross income of approximately $300 million per year, assuming the average retail space in the Midtown neighborhood is $2000 a square foot. Verification of the depths and extents of the Metro North Rail, construction costs and sequencing will determine the economic viability of such a significant public work.

Is not now people have been complaining of the underperformance of Dwayne Gibbs and Jack Ewatski. So by rights the lip synced announcement of PM Persad-Bissessar, her normal 20 minutes late to her public address, should be a cause for celebration. But there are many reasons why Trinis can't celebrate their resignation. For the two years that Gibbs and Ewatski mismanaged our police force, they have been made accountable for nothing. Not the crime rate, not being absent when the SoE was called, not for wasting money on a crop duster, not for the unchecked murder toll, not for raids on media houses, not for the removal of crime stats off the police website.....not for a damn thing. To date all we know is that Dwayne and Jack came here, earned a hefty salary for two years for doing nothing, resigned....probably with a golden handshake, then left. The crime plan is yet to be unveiled...and in part of the public address that the PM seemed to be miming tonight we get to find out that Warner's crime plan is still non existent. Wait for it...it coming.And it is coming. After 2years of incompetence it took Jack Warner wielding his considerable influence to get the Canadians out. Now Jack is free to put Dep CoP Stephen Williams in charge...and if all yuh feel was bobol before well is now self the vice go Cyah done. The police state not coming, it already here in subtle and not so subtle ways. The police does not serve the public, it serves the policies of the government, that is a first sign. Look out for more public shows of force from both army and police. Look out too For the next COP being the Nat Sec Minister's puppet. In the upcoming months expect brute force, sudden raids, the breaching of our constitutional rights, and the pampered and selfish upper classes will praise the initiatives because it keeps them feeling secure while the average citizen will continue to be exposed to more violence and trauma. Expect Jack's PR machine to go into hyperdrive. Expect rumors of him being made PM while the next President may well be another person known for feting and drinking. Don't expect policing to improve. Don't expect that crime solution and detection will ever be a priority. Don't expect a coherent, well executed crime plan. When you are detained without reason in a few months, don't expect answers or a phone call.
Expect to see more threads to this story as Warner's influence expands. Expect the country to turn on itself.
De Vice Cyah Done!

Jerome Murdough was just looking for a warm place to sleep on a chilly night last month when he curled up in an enclosed stairwell on the roof of a Harlem public housing project where he was arrested for trespassing.
A week later, the mentally ill homeless man was found dead in a Rikers Island jail cell that four city officials say had overheated to at least 100 degrees, apparently because of malfunctioning equipment.
The officials told The Associated Press that the 56-year-old former Marine was on anti-psychotic and anti-seizure medication, which may have made him more vulnerable to heat. He also apparently did not open a small vent in his cell, as other inmates did, to let in cool air.
"He basically baked to death," said one of the officials, who all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to discuss specifics of the case.

BRENTWOOD, N.Y., Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Authorities in New York state said an attempted robbery was foiled by a clerk who brandished a machete and chased the suspect out of the store.
Brentwood police said the masked suspect brandished a gun Sept. 25 at the Stop and Shop deli in Brentwood and demanded money, WCBS-TV, New York, reported Tuesday.
Police said the suspect fired off a shot into the wall, leading the clerk to brandish a large machete he grabbed from under the counter and chase the robber from the store.
The store owner said she purchased the machete about a month ago following a series of thefts.
Police are offering a reward of up to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of the suspect, who was armed with a .22-caliber pistol.

Philip went down to the city of Samaria
and proclaimed the Christ to them.
With one accord, the crowds paid attention to what was said by Philip
when they heard it and saw the signs he was doing.
For unclean spirits, crying out in a loud voice,
came out of many possessed people,
and many paralyzed or crippled people were cured.
There was great joy in that city.
Now when the apostles in Jerusalem
heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God,
they sent them Peter and John,
who went down and prayed for them,
that they might receive the Holy Spirit,
for it had not yet fallen upon any of them;
they had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Then they laid hands on them
and they received the Holy Spirit.
Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts.
Always be ready to give an explanation
to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope,
but do it with gentleness and reverence,
keeping your conscience clear,
so that, when you are maligned,
those who defame your good conduct in Christ
may themselves be put to shame.
For it is better to suffer for doing good,
if that be the will of God, than for doing evil.
For Christ also suffered for sins once,
the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous,
that he might lead you to God.
Put to death in the flesh,
he was brought to life in the Spirit.
Jesus said to his disciples:
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments.
And I will ask the Father,
and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always,
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept,
because it neither sees nor knows him.
But you know him, because he remains with you,
and will be in you.
I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
In a little while the world will no longer see me,
but you will see me, because I live and you will live.
On that day you will realize that I am in my Father
and you are in me and I in you.
Whoever has my commandments and observes them
is the one who loves me.
And whoever loves me will be loved by my Father,
and I will love him and reveal myself to him."
Many of us have a built-in problem keeping us from correctly understanding today's three readings. Our catechism-oriented education assured us we'd always know we're doing what Jesus wanted us to do as long as we're following the teachings of the institutional church. The Galilean carpenter deliberately set up that organization during his earthly ministry to guarantee his message would always be presented the way he intended it to be presented.
There's just one problem with that reasoning: modern Scripture scholars – like the late Raymond Brown – are unanimously convinced the historical Jesus never intended to found a church as we know it today. More than anything, he was simply a reformer of Judaism, not the founder of a new religion.
So if he didn't create a formal institution to carry on his ministry, what did he do to guarantee it would always be done the right way? As we hear in today's liturgical passages, he gave his followers his Spirit.
John's Jesus couldn't have said it better. "I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot accept, because it neither sees nor knows him. But you know him, because he remains with you and will be in you." According to John, only those who give themselves over to Jesus' Spirit are authentic other Christs.
That's why Luke believes it's essential for Peter and John to travel from Jerusalem up to Samaria to make certain that community's newly baptized actually have received Jesus' Spirit. Philip – knowing nothing of our modern Trinitarian formula - had only baptized them "in the name of the Lord Jesus." By the laying on of the apostles' hands, Jesus' Spirit also comes upon them. Their conversion is complete.
We have no idea what formula the author of I Peter employed in baptizing those to whom this homily is directed. But he certainly takes for granted they've received the Spirit in whatever action preceded his speaking to them. Just as the historical Jesus could defend his ministry and message, so they should be able to follow suit. This is important since suffering is always an integral part of carrying out that ministry and conveying that message. In the author's mind, a person's defense of being another Christ doesn't come in a harmless school exam, but in the midst of suffering. No reason to defend it unless we're in pain because of it. Our unknown writer is convinced that just as Jesus was "put to death in the flesh and was brought to life in the Spirit," so his Spirit gives us life especially when our suffering is most severe.
In some sense, it's easy to understand why many Christians quickly traded the Spirit for an institution. The late Carroll Stuhlmueller always taught that there are two rules to know when the Spirit's actually talking to us. First, what suddenly comes into our mind is an insight, not a process of reasoning. Two and two equals four, for instance, probably isn't from the Spirit. Inspiration from the Spirit comes out of nowhere. One instant there's nothing, then suddenly . . . !
Second, actually following through on what pops into our mind will cost us big time. The Spirit always demands we leave where we're comfortably ensconced and move to a place where we'd rather not be, a place which makes new demands on us. The Spirit never tells us, "Stay right here! Don't move a muscle!"
According to our sacred authors, only when we're disturbed about what God expects us to do can we be certain the risen Jesus' Spirit is actually at work in our lives.
