Nursing Home Transition
AIM's Nursing Home Transition program helps individuals who are living in a nursing facility return to the community and receive their services there. The Nursing Home Transition program is for those people who would prefer to live in a home setting, while still maintaining a high-level of support and services.
In order to do this, many issues must be addressed before a person may return to the community from a nursing home. Issues including housing, long-term care, income, home modification, transportation, and others must be arranged and confirmed. All of that preparation can take months to complete, particularly for busy social services workers. Abilities in Motion can help.
The Nursing Home Transition program can make the necessary arrangements and ensure that all barriers are resolved before a person returns home. AIM NHT has offered this service for over 10 years and we have helped hundreds of individuals return to a home setting.
AIM's Nursing Home Transition has received the top-level, three-year Case Management for Long-Term Services & Supports Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance. AIM earned this accreditation through a two-year process of evaluation and review. The seal of accreditation is an assurance that an agency is well managed and offers a high degree of quality care and service.

What is the NHT Process?
1- "I want to live at home!"
Nursing Homes are required by the state to ask if a resident wants to return to the community. If the resident does, then facility social workers must provide information on the NHT process plus a list of available providers. AIM is one such provider in much of the state.
2 – The Resident is the Captain of the Team
If the resident chooses AIM to provide NHT services, our coordinators work with the resident, the social services department, clinicians, families, and community members who are all part of the residents 'team', to ensure that all barriers are met prior to the day of discharge.
3 – Day of Discharge
The AIM NHT Coordinator will be there with you to make sure that the discharge and move into your new home goes smoothly. We will ensure that medications are secured, doctor appointments are confirmed, paperwork is completed, and all of the things that need to be done ARE done so that you can go home.
4 – Follow up
In the following days, weeks, and months, AIM NHT will contact you periodically to make sure that you are settled in your home and that any issues or difficulties that may have appeared are addressed.

The NeoAir Camper SV is a deluxe basecamp mattress with fast and easy inflation/deflation thanks to Thermarest's SpeedValve design.
Thermarest says:
When we took our thick, ultra-supportive NeoAir Camper mattress and added our new SpeedValve design, we created the fastest way to feel at home in the outdoors. Using simple physics, the special valve allows you to inflate your insulated mattress up to three times faster than traditional valves, with a fraction of the effort.
Once inflated, reflective ThermaCapture technology and WaveCore construction combine hundreds of internal cells and efficient, radiant heat capture to deliver reliable, compact three-season comfort. When it's time to break camp, the patent-pending, auto-reversing valve deflates the mattress almost instantly. Stuff sack and repair kit included.
Wave Core
Our Wave Technology slows convective heat loss, using a single layer of horizontal wave baffles. This basic structure doubles the warmth of an uninsulated air mattress without the bulk of conventional down or fiber insulations, creating a strong, fair-weather option in an insulated air mattress that still maintains essential three-season performance.
ThermaCapture Radiant Heat Technology is a proprietary reflective coating that we apply to a range of surfaces. By reflecting radiant heat back to your body that is otherwise lost, this extremely lightweight coating turns that surface into a very efficient heat reflector, amplifying warmth without the excess weight or bulk of added, conventional insulating materials.
Very similar to the NeoAir Camper but with Thermarest's new SpeedValve system which allows you to inflate the mat in 2-3 times fewer breaths compared with a traditional valve mat. Blowing into the SpeedValve creates a pressure differential that draws in surrounding air to fill the mattress fast and with less effort. It also deflates super fast too.
It's rectangular shape combined with 7.6cm of cushion make the NeoAir Camper SV a fantastic choice for those that value comfort over weight savings. It's one of Thermarest's thickest mattresses and also one of the plushest and most durable inflatable pads available. It's design sits squarely between a lightweight inflatable pad well-suited to backpacking and an ultra-luxurious car camping pad.

Week 2 of Lent
Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh— though I myself have reasons for such confidence.
If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.
But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.
CCI: While listening, a connected disciple learns from (comes to Know) God, Others and Themselves.
Intro: How is the journey through Lent going for you? Did you take time this week to simply listen to God, to others or to yourself and your body? Is anyone brave enough to share something they gleaned from that experience?
Today we are going to continue to think about the qualities or characteristics that mark a disciple of Jesus Christ. Let's together declare the mission of Hatboro Baptist Church.
"Hatboro Baptist is called to make disciples of Jesus Christ by connecting people to God, to one another, and to our deepest selves that we might be whole."
Our mission is to work with God to make connected disciples. And what are the marks of connected disciple? A connected disciple is a disciple who listens and loves. In listening she learns and in loving she serves. So God is looking for disciples who eagerly listen, learn, love and serve.
Last week we explored what it means to listen as a disciple of Jesus. Listening has a corollary and the corollary is learning. When we listen attentively, with our minds and out hearts, we will learn much and what we learn will change us.
1. A Connected Disciple Learns of God
Who is God? Have you ever tried to ask that question of your phone? I don't know what Alexa or Siri have to say, but Google responds by saying, "Religion can be complicated and I'm still learning." When we encounter God, we need to take that attitude, "I'm still learning." There have been times in my life when I have thought I could give pretty complete answer to the question. God is eternal, God is omnipotent, God is omnipresent, God is immutable, etc. But as well as I know these fact, as I listened to the students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, I ask myself, what good is the ability to rattle off the attributes of God to these young people who are grieving and angry and so alone? Clearly if what I know of God is what I know about God, then I have nothing to offer these students and teachers.
However in the passage from Paul that we read this morning, the Apostle tells us that everything he has valued, his impeccable lineage, his first class education and his zealous sincerity, were of no value compared to the wonder of knowing Christ. Did he mean knowing about Jesus? Did he mean knowing the stories of the gospels? Did he mean being acquainted with the apostles? No, he was not talking about a knowledge that filled his heart, he was talking about an intimate knowledge. In the older translations of the Old testament, the genealogies say, "And Adam knew Eve and she gave birth a son and they called him Seth." The word translated knew was certainly not head knowledge, it was physical, emotional and spiritual intimacy, and that is the kind of knowledge that Paul is talking about in this passage.
"I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead."
As we listen to God, we learn of Christ, not knowledge but relationship, not information, but intimacy.
Jesus when he prayed before his arrest, said, "This is eternal life, that they may you, the only true God. . ." The task of learning of God, is an eternal lesson that begins now and will continue throughout eternity. Learning of God is a lesson that will change us.
As we listen to God, we are learning life changing lessons each day, our behavior is being transformed and our hearts experience peace the surpasses understanding.
In the same way, as listening, connected disciples, we also learn from one another. On Thursday, I spoke with a local pastor who also consults with business leaders. After working with a company for several years, he spoke to the owner and said he thought he had taken them as far as he could, he did not think he had helped much. The owner was shocked and replied, "What you, as a coach have done is completely changed the culture of this company!" People in a construction company, were changed as they listened and learned from a pastor.
Leonardo da Vinci once observed that the average human "looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without tasting, inhales without awareness of odor or fragrance, and talks without thinking." But not da Vinci. The quintessential Renaissance man called the five senses the ministers of the soul. Perhaps no one in history stewarded them better than he did. Famous for his paintings The Last Supper and Mona Lisa, da Vinci trained himself in curiosity. He never went anywhere without his notebooks, in which he recorded ideas and observations in mirror-image cursive. His journals contain the genesis of some of his most ingenious ideas—a helicopter-like contraption he called an orinthopter, a diving suit, and a robotic knight. While on his own deathbed, he meticulously noted his own symptoms in his journal. That's devotion to learning.
But da Vinci did not simply learn facts, he integrated what he learned as he listened to others into his daily life. Now, while you and I may not have the intellect of da Vinci, we do have the capacity to learn from one another.
One of the most difficult lessons I have sought to learn over the years is forgiveness. I have read books, I have seen movies, I have studied the scriptures, but perhaps the most important lesson in forgiveness came 32 years ago.
At that time I was pastoring a church in Clarksburg, WV. In the congregation there was a woman who came faithfully and served in the church in powerful ways. As I came to know Sharon, I discovered a woman with a very tender heart. Soon she told me her story, in 1981, when her little boy was 7 years old, he finally learned to ride his bike. One day in May, he asked if he could ride to the Little League field which was just 2 blocks down the street to watch the game. As he rode away to see friends, Sharon did not know it would be the last time she would see him alive. Late that evening, his little body was found beaten and hidden in the tall grass just beyond the ball field. At first it seemed that there would be a quick resolution to crime, some boys from a local housing project were taken into custody. However, they were found to be incompetent to stand trial.
I met her a few years later, her husband wanted nothing to do with God, it hurt too bad. But Sharon was different and she loved her husband and served God, and God began to do a work in her. While I was her pastor, the day came that the boys suspected of killing her baby turned 18. They were told by the police that if they wanted the charges would be reinstated and they would stand trial. As I walked with them through that decision, I saw the power of forgiveness as I had never seen before. Sharon said, "In order to continue to live and move ahead and find healing, we have forgiven them. To try to pursue prosecution now will not help us. They chose not pursue charges, and that decision precipitated her husband's return to faith. By learning forgiveness from his wife, he was healed. They thought that was the end of the story.
And then, on Wednesday, 36 years after they lost their baby, news broke that their neighbor, not one of the original suspects, now 53 years old, had been arrested and confessed to the murder of their son. Here are their words on that day,
Thirty-six years ago our lives changed forever when our son, CR, was murdered. In fact it tore us up in our deepest core. We grieved, not because he was killed, but because we lost our precious son.
We forgave whoever did it a long time ago. We had to, to heal. We had to get better, and forgiveness was the only way. We prayed for God to heal our grief, and He did. We had a daughter to take care of and love. We prayed for God to heal our marriage. He did and made it stronger. We wanted to be happy again, and we are. Was it easy? No, but worth the effort.
Was the news today upsetting? Of course it was. (But we have learned that) God provides what we need when we need it, past, present and future, We have the peace that passes all understanding guarding our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7.
Willy (the man who was arrested) lives behind us (literally, he could look into the windows of Sharon's bedroom from his house). When we talked about the news we received today and after we mourned, questioned, remembered, and called friends and family, we both said the same thing, "I feel sorry for Willy." We forgave Willy, but we hope he finds real forgiveness.
As I have listened to Sharon and her husband, I learned the power of forgiveness. What have you learned from the people around you? Have you learned to listen to their hearts? Connected disciple learn from God and from the people around them.
But just as listening also involves listening to deepest selves, our bodies and our souls, so as we listen, we learn about ourselves that we might be changed. Once again, we must remember that we often deceive ourselves, and when we seek to learn of ourselves, we can be deceived. There have been times when I have been hurt that I have learned to put walls to keep others out, this is not a lesson from the Spirit of God. There have been times that I have looked at my habits and decided that I am of no use to God. This is not a lesson from the Spirit of God.
But, as you spend time prayerfully listening to your body and your soul, what have you learned? Have you discovered strengths that you did not were there? Have you found triggers that help you understand yourself the way you react to different situations? Have you discovered a place of peace? These are the things God is seeking to teach us if we are willing to learn.
As we continue through this season of Lent, what do you hope to learn about intimacy with God, about and from the people around you, and about yourself? Let us take a few moments right now and ask God to grant us hearts that are willing to learn what the Spirit of God wants to teach us, for all we learn, whether of God, of others or of ourselves, when it brings growth is led by the Spirit of God.

Jan. 10th
Today, we jumped right into Iron Chef. In Iron Chef, the scouts were split into two teams and were each given the same ingredients and challenged to make a dish that is better than the other team. The first team was Hollan, Zack, and Andrew and the second team was Brian, Roman, and Grant. Team 1 made a dish that looked like tacos with spam and sauce inside on the side were eggs and corn. Team 2 called their dish "Special Surprise" and they made tacos too, with spam, sauce, and two different cheeses inside. On the side of their dish, they had rice, corn, and baby bells. The Judges, Alexander and Mac, had to try both of our meals and score them based on taste, presentation, and other categories. Team two won the contest, with a score of 6 out of 10. Team two was in second place scoring only 2 points out of 10.
- This Saturday (January 13th) We will be going to Wilmot Mountain to go tubing. It costs 30 dollars to go. Try to make a presence, as some cub scouts are interested in coming.
- A cub scout recruiting even is coming up in a few weeks.

And high atop the Hollywood Hills it's time for Bobby and Peter Farrelly to brush their teeth, change into their Garanimals, and climb into their bunk beds, where they sing themselves to sleep with this lullaby (to the tune of My Favorite Things from Sound of Music).
Hush, listen. And you can just make out the lyrics:
We think it's the spa where Jerry Stiller's naked
Zippers that slice off a dong with one zing
These are a few of our favorite things
Bowling and fat suits and Matt's a conjoined twin
If concept is high then the story is tres thin
Dumb and Dumber and still Dumberer flings
These are a few of our favorite things
We've got roles for you!
If you're disabled and you have a SAG card
That's how you won't feel…so blue!
Ben Stiller's got the lead role tied in a bow
But Britney Spears proves you will reap what you sow
Dad Jerry's hair dyed the color of Mars
These are a few of our favorite bars
Guac through the nose and a third-degree burning
Watch it and laugh if your stomach stops turning
Where there's a body with fluids to spring
These are a few of our favorite things
When reviews sting
When red ink flows
When we're feeling sad
And then we won't feel…so bad!

This charming letter comes to me from my cousin Catherine Duff. Although it's only a partial letter, and as a result the closing is missing, there is enough evidence to conclude it was written by James Ritchie of Perth, Scotland to his first cousin Margaret "Peggy" Duff at Braco, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.
Margaret and her sister Isabella had spent three years in Scotland between 1862 and 1865, and had grown very close with their older cousin James. He wrote in his diary about bringing them to the seaport for their trip back home from Scotland in 1865. At the time of this letter, Margaret was 15 years old, her sister Annie Duff (my great-great-grandmother) was 21, and their sister Isabella [mentioned in the letter obliquely] was 14. James was 46.
This letter is so full of love and dry humor, it very much makes me want to locate more correspondence from James.
[Click on images to enlarge or download. Transcription follows.]
Perth, 10 June 1868
My dear Peggy –
You don't mean to say that you haven't heard from me since the 18th July 1867. That's a very alarming statement and must surely arise from a great hallucination on your part my good old woman. I'm afraid your memory is failing, poor dear old philosopher. But as Annie also says I am in the black books at Braco, Lunenburg N.S. [Nova Scotia] – and as the venerable flibbertigibbet [Isabella Duff] has a growl at me too, by the mail last arrived, I am getting rather alarmed – and as I wouldn't, for the life of me, have three very nice, fascinating blue noses – no, I mean – extremely pleasant
[A "blue nose" either means "a priggish or puritanical person" or "a person from Nova Scotia".]
young ladies, converted into dangerous foes – I beg very humbly to throw up the sponge [throw in the towel] as the sporting men say – and to cry culpa mea, culpa mea, as another sort of people say, that the F.C. minister of Lunenburg will tell you about if you ask him civilly – and now having got over the preface to my epistle, I hope you are better and quite well again. In your last letter to Aunt Mag. [likely Margaret Duff, sister of Rev. William Duff and aunt to James Ritchie] you say that you had been ill and in bed. But I trust you are quite "straight" again, as you Yankee folks say. Now I wouldn't adopt Yankeeisms if I was a splendiferous,
steady-going, sensible gal like you. I wouldn't do it "nohow" I wouldn't. For example, I wouldn't say "quite" fine weather now. "Quite" a nice young man, or "quite" a horrid little girl. "Quite" a good "time", or "quite" a bad "time". Keep out all the "quites" and try another word for "time". Then don't say – so and so is "still home" – when you mean still "at" home. Or I'm going down "to" home, when you mean that you're simply going home. But that's all the lesson I can propose giving you today. I hope by the way Kate [likely Isabella Catherine Duff, Margaret's sister] and you haven't forgotten the Greek alphabet. But one word more – take more care of your spelling and never send away a letter you write without reading it carefully
over again, to see that the spelling is all right, and to make sure that you haven't put down a "was" instead of a "were" or a "has" instead of a "have" – and also in order to put in stops and commas where they ought to be. And these little precautions tell Kate to attend to as well. I don't give you any message of this kind to Annie though. She's so awfully advanced a young lady that I am half afraid of her now. But we'll perhaps catch her napping some fine morning too. Just wait a little.
We have had a splendid season here so far as this year has gone. A fine open, blowy, winter with little rain, and less frost or snow – and the weather is now beautiful, and the crops all promise to be

I'm always getting questions about my hair journey, especially about my transitioning process. Here's a look down memory lane on how my hair has changed over the past four years.
The Time Line:
November/December 2013 – Got first weave installed; began transition.
While in college, I participated in a pageant and wanted to add some inches to my shoulder length relaxed hair, so I got my first weave installed. I really liked the look and hung on to it for as long as I could, so when I took it down, I had a lot of new growth. I was already suffering from breakage and bald spots, and my hair refused to grow past my shoulders. The amount of new growth that I had really encouraged me to start transitioning my hair back to its natural state.
Over the transitioning period, I had protective styles, length checks, and a bunch of failed braid/twist-outs. I really had some bad hair days, y'all. Seriously, terrible. I dug deep for these pictures! They cover my hair changes from November 2013 to July 2015.
Transitioning Styles
I tried braid outs, twist outs, bantu knot outs, and perm rod sets. My go-to style that I felt mixed my two textures well enough at the time, and was quick and easy for me to do, was bantu knot-outs.
I only tried perm rod sets a few times towards the end of my transition. I wish I'd tried them sooner – I liked them alot!
As far as products go, I didn't use anything special during my transitioning period until towards the end when most of my hair was natural. My go-to product for bantu knots, however, was ORS Smoot-n-Hold Pudding. While I had a lot of relaxed ends, I continued using the products I'd use on my relaxed hair, but I made sure to be deep conditioning as often as possible.
Length Checks
I had three length checks while transitioning, with one of them being professionally done.
Protective Styles
My favorite protective styles were the Senegalese twists and the box braid bob. The bob was the last protective style I had.
July 19, 2015 – Chopped the remaining straight ends.
When I took the braided bob down and saw how much growth I'd had, I finally chopped the remaining straight pieces of my hair after a year and seven months of transitioning. I transitioned for so long that I felt so relieved when I finally let go of those bits of relaxed ends.
My hair was a little uneven because it grows faster on one side than the other, but I still rocked it and was super excited to finally be a Naturalista!
My first style on my curlies was a failed bantu knot out. I hated it. I tried again with a wash-n-go, and didn't like it either.
It was all about the process of finding which products worked best for my hair. Once I figured out some that worked for me, I realized a wash-n-go was (and still is) my favorite style, and started playing with the different ways I could wear it.
January 2016 – First length check fully natural.
After six months of focusing on the health of my curls, I wanted to start the new year with a length check. It'd been almost a full year since the last time I'd straightened it. I was in disbelief with how long it was!!
March 2016 – Caught my hair on fire; transition begins again.
You read that right. I caught my hair on fire. Literally a tragic Hollywood scene. I was soaking in a bubble bath, surrounded by candles. I fell asleep vibing to Erykah Badu, and at some point during my dreams, I heard "sizzle sizzle". I jumped up so fast I almost slipped and drowned. All I could do was slap water into my head. My hair was falling into the bath water like a pile of ashes. TRAGIC.
Thankfully my girl Lee (s/o Lee!) rushed over with my God Child in tow and helped put me back together. She assured me it was savable. I had my hair in a pineapple, and part of it is was cooked away in the candle. When I took my hair down, I had a very short patch of hair on the top of the back of my head. It was easy to disguise, but it was still very noticeable to me. There was no way I was going to cut the rest of my hair to match the shortest length, so I knew I would have to be very gentle with my hair while the burnt section grew back out.
I had to style my hair to try to disguise the short area, and there were some sections that completely lost their curl. I noticed my hair was also having issues holding moisture. Check it out below:
I still wore wash-n-go's, but was very gentle when styling my hair. Pulling my hair up or back helped hide the short spot, and having a protective style for a month also helped my hair grow.
October 2016 – Second length check; cut hair into layers to better disguise burn spot.
After nursing my hair for some months, I was comfortable with getting a length check and cutting my hair into layers to better disguise the short spot.
I was really impressed with how much my hair had grown and how thick it'd gotten! All those DIY deep conditioners definitely helped me out.
After washing my hair, I noticed that while my hair had a better shape to it, the heat didn't help the areas of my hair which had lost some of its natural curl pattern. I started trying out different styles to help curl those areas. One of those styles was a flat twist out that didn't go well at all. The product used caused my hair to shed:
I kept pushing through with lots of deep condition treatments, and sticking to simple wash-n-go's. In the pictures below, you can kind of see how my hair texture was off and lacked moisture.
May 2017 – First time cutting own hair (issa mini chop!)
From October 2016 – May 2017, I was battling getting my hair in the burn spot area to curl like normal, as well as tangling issues. I think my hair was so stressed from everything it had been through over the past year that some of my curls were completely over it. I realized that my ends were tangling so bad because I needed another hair trim. I was initially going to get my usual length check, but decided to take a chance at cutting my own hair using no heat to give my hair the break it needed (and still needs) from heat.
I love how it turned out!
After cutting it, my hair began to flourish again and started growing thick and healthy. In a month's time, my hair was already back to nearly reaching my shoulders:
Today (2 Year "Natural-versary") – Full head of popping curls!
I'm really happy with how my hair has bounced back from all that it's been through. I love the shape of my hair, too. I didn't do too bad with giving myself a hair cut.
I always get asked why I transitioned for so long. At the time, my reasoning was because I felt some attachment to the length of my hair (…and felt my head was too big for that big chop business LOL…). However, looking back I realize it meant way more too me than just holding on to dead hair. It was about growth – about glowing up and learning to love myself at every stage. It was about not being genuinely happy for so long, and finally growing to a point that I let go, not just of those straight ends, but gradually every crappy thing that made me feel less than my best. I transitioned for nearly two years, only to set my hair on fire during a period of mourning and sulking, and then wake up a year later and decide to just chop half my hair off because I felt like it needed a trim.
And love it.
And it was freeing, and happiness, and embracing every piece of me.

Today I'm happy that my curls are full, bouncy, healthy, and moisturized. My goals over the next year are to fight hair shedding, continue growing stronger, healthier hair, and to continue inspiring fellow curlies to embrace every low and high of their natural hair journey.
My hair has been my story. It still is my story. History.. Hairstory.. Herstory.
I wouldn't change a thing.
Lots of Love,

Before Hawaii basketball coach Bob Nash began building the Rainbow Warriors into a team on the court, Steve Englehart was charged with laying a foundation.
"My body feels in much better condition," UH senior Riley Luettergerodt said. "I got a lot stronger this summer, everybody did, and it's paying dividends.
"With the rigors of practice and travel, I feel a lot stronger. Steve got us great shape for the season and is continuing to keep us in shape."
Conditioning will be a key this week as the team plays three games in four days in the Outrigger Hotel Rainbow Classic.
The 44th annual tournament opens tonight at the Stan Sheriff Center.
Ohio plays St. John's in the opening game at 5 p.m. UH then begins defense of the Classic championship by facing Louisiana-Lafayette at 7:30.
Tomorrow's first-round games are Tulane vs. Saint Mary's at 5 and East Tennessee State vs. Georgia at 7:30.
Ask Hawaii basketball players about Steve Englehart's impact on the program and the praise flows freely.

"During the preseason, 'In like 7 in the morning, we've got weights,' " Englehart said. "When they come in in the morning they do not like me. I have a good relationship with them and, man, they don't talk to me the whole weekend."
Those feelings tend to be fleeting with the understanding that the labor expended in the weight room has benefits during the season, particularly on weeks like this.
The Rainbows' conditioning figures to be tested over a stretch of three games in four days starting tonight in the Outrigger Hotels Rainbow Classic, especially considering four players average more than 32 minutes per game.
"That's where the things we've done in the weight room, all the conditioning stuff we've done, now is the time where it shows," UH head coach Bob Nash said. "Now we'll see if we get the fruits of our labor."
Several players made significant gains while spending much of their summer working with Englehart, a graduate assistant, and head strength coach Tommy Heffernan in voluntary weight-training sessions.
The Rainbows have continued lifting during the season, going into the weight room at least three times a week before practice, with the emphasis shifting to maintenance and injury prevention.
"We're not lifting to get any bigger or any stronger," Nash said. "We're just trying to maintain our flexibility and maintain our strength."
To build strength and explosiveness, Englehart had the players concentrate on Olympic lifts -- power cleans, hang cleans, push presses and squats among them -- and a program of plyometrics during the summer and in the preseason.
Endurance came with running 300-yard shuttles, a series of 25-yard sprints to be completed in less than a minute. They also focused on core strength with a variety of daily routines designed to punish their abs.
"Coach Nash gave me the green light," Englehart said.
"The trick was not to overtrain them in the offseason and preseason. You don't want your plateau to hit in the middle of the season. When your conference starts, that's when you want your plateau to hit. So these guys are still building."
These days, the lifting is lighter and the squats have been taken out of the routine to reduce wear on the players' knees. They'll also work on a Vertamax platform, with a player tethered to the base with elastic bands to provide resistance while performing a series of short jumps.
"They're going to be doing their running and jumping during practice, my thing is to maintain the fast-twitch fibers so they can go hard and keep that vertical up," said Englehart, who is responsible for getting the team stretched and warmed up before games and practices.
He is also quick to dispel the notion that adding muscle can affect a player's shooting stroke.
"A lot of old-school people will say weights will mess your shot up," he said. "Weights will not mess your shot up, it's not shooting after you lift weights. That's what we did in the offseason, they come in and lift, then I'll go in the (gym) and toss them the ball."
The training has had tangible results for several players.
When senior Bobby Nash was tested at the start of last season as he returned from a shoulder injury, he could perform one repetition of 225 pounds on the bench press. A year later he was up to eight reps.
"One of the biggest knocks on me was my size and strength, so that's what I wanted to concentrate on this summer and be able to take the punishment of a long season," said Nash, the Rainbows' leading scorer.
Riley Luettgerodt was also among the regulars in the Alexander Waterhouse Training Facility over the summer and added three inches to his vertical while improving his overall strength.
"You don't get bumped off cuts or if you're going to the hoop and finishing," Luettgerodt said. "It wasn't about just getting stronger, we did a lot to improve our quickness and flexibility."
Englehart is confident freshman guard Kareem Nitoto will own most of the program's weight-room records by the time he finishes his career. Nitoto, who has a football and track background along with basketball, has already tied Erin Galloway's mark for the highest vertical leap -- with a three- or four-step approach -- at 44 inches.
Although the numbers can be fun to track, Englehart makes sure to remind the players that "their job is on the basketball court, it's not here being a power lifter."
Sometimes finding a place to train can be a challenge on the road and maintaining a routine can require a bit of improvisation. Such was the case when Bill Amis wanted a workout prior to last month's game at New Mexico and Englehart crafted a session in Amis' hotel room.
"Steve's the MacGyver of lifting," said Amis, who plans to spend the summer here working on putting more muscle on his frame. "He can take you anywhere and show you exercises you can do with just body weight or (resistance) bands."

- About this book
Scientific Workflow has seen massive growth in recent years as science becomes increasingly reliant on the analysis of massive data sets and the use of distributed resources. The workflow programming paradigm is seen as a means of managing the complexity in defining the analysis, executing the necessary computations on distributed resources, collecting information about the analysis results, and providing means to record and reproduce the scientific analysis.
Workflows for e-Science presents an overview of the current state of the art in the field. It brings together research from many leading computer scientists in the workflow area and provides real world examples from domain scientists actively involved in e-Science. The computer science topics addressed in the book provide a broad overview of active research focusing on the areas of workflow representations and process models, component and service-based workflows, standardization efforts, workflow frameworks and tools, and problem solving environments and portals.
The topics covered represent a broad range of scientific workflow and will be of interest to a wide range of computer science researchers, domain scientists interested in applying workflow technologies in their work, and engineers wanting to develop workflow systems and tools. As such Workflows for e-Science is an invaluable resource for potential or existing users of workflow technologies and a benchmark for developers and researchers.

Despite living fairly close to her, Missyeru and I have never officially done a photo shoot together. There was the time I tagged along on someone else's shoot and got a couple shots, but we've never actually done a shoot. Not at a convention, not even a quick 15 mins here or there. She was getting ready to move to Germany so I knew we had to arrange a shoot before she was gone for good! I brought along my crew of Hall To, Luna Lovely, and ChillyWilly.
The Shoot
For this shoot, I went back to Stoney Point Park in Chatsworth, CA. It's the second time I've used it, but I can't get over what a great backdrop it makes for some of these characters. My next League of Legends shoot will be elsewhere, though I'll definitely return here at some point. I've barely explored the park so there's many nooks and crannies left there I want to try out. As usual, we showed up a little later than planned, but it was still early enough that we had good light to work with. (Pro tip: Always give yourself a little extra time for things that go wrong…because they will go wrong.) The shoot went pretty well with the exception of the TimVo curse; that's where I break every prop of Missyeru's that I shoot without even touching it. For her Ashe photos, her bow broke halfway through the shoot. For this shoot, the head fell off her staff and we tried to rig it back together. It held for a few shots, but didn't make it through the whole shoot. Trying to fix it did take up an extra 20-30 minutes of time that we could have been shooting.
I don't play League of Legends myself, so I'm not familiar with many the characters beyond what I see cosplayed. This meant I had to do a little research and find some reference images, mainly for picking a location. Mostly, I relied on Missyeru and my assistants to give me background info. This is a bit of a drawback for LoL characters in that most don't have the drawn out, detailed, storied backgrounds of some other franchises to pull from. For me, this meant I wasn't sure how I wanted to light her: hard and dramatic or soft and glowy. So second tip: Do as much background research as you can into the character to get a good understanding of how you want to shoot them. Heroic characters are generally shot upward so they're towering over the image. I figured that was a good place to start.
The Technical
I brought out the PCB Einstein again for this shoot, but I used the beautiful natural light in the area most of the time. We were on the shady side of Stoney Point so I didn't have to worry about shadows or harsh light. For the jumping shot, I stopped down my aperture a bit and used the flash to freeze motion. A trick to remember when shooting motion with flash is that your shutter speed can be less than optimal for freezing motion (in order to stay within sync speed) because the flash is doing the work of freezing motion. Normally, to freeze someone jumping in a picture without flash, you want to shoot with a shutter speed faster than 1/640. When using flash, you can freeze motion at a slower speed provided that you underexpose the rest of the scene and let the flash do most of the work. You may see a bit of ghosting if you don't underexpose your scene enough, but it's not very noticeable in my opinion. My jumping shot here has a bit of ghosting if you zoom in very closely. The closeup shot is also flash-lit and the other two are using ambient light/shade. The rest of the work was done in Lightroom and Photoshop to adjust color tone and polish armor.
Behind-the-Scenes Video
ChillyWilly did another great job of capturing the costume and behind the scenes action during the shoot:
As always, thanks for checking out the photos! Feel free to send me a message on facebook or leave a comment below. I'd love to hear your feedback!

text: Driving Change earthrise travels to China and the US to see how the world's environmental leadership is changing hands. 21 Jun 2017 07:46 GMT Environment, United States, China, Asia China and the United States are the world's two biggest carbon dioxide emitters, but what approach are these countries' governments taking in the fight against climate change? In Shenzhen, one of China's most populous cities, new regulations to tackle air pollution are helping to unleash a revolution in clean energy and transport. Meanwhile, the tone has changed in Washington, DC, with the Trump administration rolling back much of the environmental policies that had been made over the past decade. US: people power Even before he became president, Donald Trump made it clear that his administration's environmental policies would fly in the face of much of the US legislation crafted in recent years to combat global warming. In late April, more than 200,000 people gathered in Washington, DC to advocate for action against climate change. Russell Beard attends the march and speaks to some of the men and women at the forefront of a global network of grassroots resistance. He meets Wes Gillingham, who not only lives on a farm that uses 100 percent renewable energy, but also led the charge on a citizen campaign, one of many activist movements that got fracking banned across New York State. Now, he has set his sights on a new bill: to have New York State running on renewable energy by 2050. China's transport revolution Urban air pollution in China has reached crisis levels and studies estimate that it kills more than one million people in the country each year. Since the 1980s, Shenzhen has grown from being little more than a farming community to a booming metropolis with more than 11 million inhabitants, 150 skyscrapers and more than three million cars. Here, the new energy vehicle industry is booming. By September of this year, all of Shenzhen's buses will be fully electric. Meanwhile, residents are restricted access to new licence plates for cars running on fossil fuels and nudged to buy hybrid or electric ones through government subsidies. "When I was small we played outside," says Lu Dongpeng. "Since then the air got so much worse that children can't play outside because their parents won't let them." Lu saw so much potential in the electric car market that he opened his own dealership and repair shop in July 2016. And there's an even more environmentally friendly way of getting around in Shenzhen: through its "dockless" city cycles. Stephanie Wong visits Shenzhen to learn more about how the city is cleaning up its transport. Source: Al Jazeera Tell us what you think

Press ok I have to select korea?? Are you sure?
Well i have a stock rom kdz file with me (tried to install stock version and successful) Also can edit buil.prop to change display to IND-XX-00 Hey! From where did you get the stock rom kdz? I have the Indian LG G PRO 2 and I want the stock kdz...
That doesn't mean there is no rootchecker at the bootloader. There is, but it's not as persistent as Samsung's KNOX and it can be reset by flashing a stock ROM. Yeah, exactly! Currently, there's no way to beat Samsung KNOX on Android 4.4 KitKat...
The G2 with a 1080 screen and a pixel DPI of 480, the screen is just fine. Correction: LG G2 has 423 dpi. Anyways, I totally agree, anything beyond 1080p is not required. Even the difference between 720p and 1080p isn't noticeable during...
Thank you xenix96 for answering that. That's exactly what my reply would have been. Samsung has too many security mechanisms and LG doesn't. So, that's one of the reasons I wanted to switch.

*I liked the suggested tags that popped up for the Labels and chose almost all of them. They matched what I would have selected manually.
*I also liked the suggested web page links and selected 2 to appear at the end of the blog post, one that related to Obama's birthday, and another that linked to a post Darren Rouse at Problogger wrote last week about being the life of the social media party.
*The registration and profile setup was a bit awkward. Several times, I fill out the menu items, saved them, and then they disappeared!
This happened both when I used the Autosave feature as well as the manual Save.
*The program seems to drain a lot of memory and I had trouble navigating my cursor around the page.
*The image gallery that pops up contextually was a disappointment, as none of the images seemed to be relevant to birthdays, although many for social media popped up.
While I like the idea of the automated links and images, it's not worth sacrificing the performance on my computer. I might try an upgraded version of this program later in the game, but for now it's slowing down my system too much and the features aren't worth it.
Final grade: B- (Sorry Zemanta.)
If any Zemanta reps are out there and want to respond to this post and how I might optimize the program better, please contact me, I'm open to it.
(Note: I want to add a suggested link right here and the program will not recognize my cursor in the Compose mode.)

Trijicon RX30-23
Just clicked buy on amazon, new w/ next day shipping $560, best I've found with the throw lever mount (seen the mount sold for 136 at optics planet), my LGS wanted 590 + tax with the weaver mount (screw on), so felt $560 w/ shipping no tax and the mount I wanted. Now just nervous about the front factory iron sight. I plan on going through the hoops of getting a short barrel sometime this year and plan on shifting the new optic over to that weapon. But for now I'm happier than a pig in slop.
Reasons for this choice,
They do have an RX34 which still has the 42 mm optic but with a 4.5 moa dot vs 6moa. I went with 6moa figure will still perform well at 100 yards and should have no issue with target acquisition regardless of lighting condition or background.
The RX01 (24 mm optic) just seemed to small for two eye operation
I like the way the EO techs look (they've gotten shorter over the years) however I swear I hate how grainy the image is, I dunno, maybe its in part with my eyes, but that 6moa dot is crisp as can be for me when I demo'd the trijicon.
The battery deal wasn't a con for me with the EO but it was more of a plus with the trijicon.
Any opinions welcome, I should receive it tomorrow and I'm off on friday, so I'll try to give my input after my first day out on the range.

May 2, 1914
A member of the Downing Street staff has "let slip" that Russian Emperor Nicholas II will be visiting London in August as a "fitting conclusion to the visits being exchanged" among the heads of the Triple Entente nations.
Last June, French President Poncairé visited England, and just last month, King George V and Queen Mary went to Paris.
President Poncairé will be traveling to St. Petersburg in June to visit Nicholas II, who will return the visit at the "end of July" and then will travel on to London.
It has been eighteen years since Nicholas' last visit to England, although he was in English waters in 1909 when the imperial yacht Standart was escorted into the Solent "by the three largest British cruisers."
Nicholas and Alexandra joined the King on board the Victoria and Albert. The Emperor's five children "still have the happiest memories" of playing on the beach "free from the cares" in their native Russia. They remained for three days.
In 1894 and in 1896, Nicholas stayed with Queen Victoria at Windsor and Balmoral. It was at Walton where the then Tsarevitch wooed Princess Alix of Hesse and By Rhine.
The young princess was a great favorite of her grandmother, Queen Victoria, and was never "happier than when she was at Balmoral."
Today, the lives of the imperial family have been "clouded by the constant dread of assassination," which certainly has affected the health of the Empress.
It is not known if Emperor will be accompanied by his wife and children.

The Double Degree in Business and CNM is offered
jointly by the NUS Business School and the
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.
In today's global environment, the line separating communications & media
studies and business is blurring, and often graduates from communications and
media programs are expected to perform tasks that entail business training—e.g.
market analysis, marketing campaigns—while business graduates are expected to
know how to effectively communicate with a company's publics, manage a crisis
or chart out technology trends.
Likewise, in today's converging media environment, communication professionals
are expected to have a broad range of knowledge and creative skills—from critical
thinking and excellent writing to the ability to create publications, websites
and other interactive environments. Combined with modules in new media and communication
management, CNM's modules in visual and game design seek to enrich student's experience
and prepare them for this converging field.
NUS' Business programme prepares students for managerial leadership in the global
economy. Its broad-based curriculum benefits from the comprehensive academic breadth
and intellectual intensity of our national university. Articulate students that
embrace technology will find good fit in this CNM and Business double degree programme
that promises to nurture an attractive breed of media-savvy business professionals.

Watering the Tulips
October 3, 2012
"A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man holds them back" – Proverbs 29:11
There is a human proverb that says, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". Certainly, this would harmonize with the verse before us today. Simply put, most of us have a tendency to shoot off at the mouth sometimes. Some may feel comfortable doing this in a larger group while some may only do it with people they are more relaxed with. Nonetheless, we need to be cautious when we speak no matter the circumstance.
In the ever practical book of James, we are instructed, "So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God" (James 1:19-20). These two verses are full of instruction. First of all, we are to "be swift to hear". When we reach the point that we think we are always the instructor, we are wise in our own eyes. This leads to pride and arrogance. As children of God especially, we need to be "slow to speak". Certainly, our text verse declares this to be wise. When we shoot off at the mouth for any reason, we are acting in a foolish, unwise manner.
Oftentimes, we tell people off out of anger. We may try to justify this by saying we are "standing up for God". But that doesn't change our instruction here. Certainly, Christian people ought to be bold in the things of God. But still, there is "A time to keep silence, and a time to speak" (Ecclesiastes 3:7). The man who cannot distinguish between these proves himself to be foolish. The one who has gained wisdom applies this knowledge in his talking. Standing up for God in a hateful, mean-spirited manner "does not produce the righteousness of God". There's a vast difference in boastful arrogance and "speaking the truth in love" (Ephesians 4:15).
Without doubt, controlling the tongue is one of the most difficult things to do. Many of us may bring our bodies into subjection to some extent. However, usually the last thing we learn to control is our tongue. Social media has done nothing but prove this. Young and old seem to think it's normal to air out every problem of life on Twitter and Facebook. This shows immaturity and selfishness. More than that, it shows a lack of spiritual progress.
If we, as believers, intend on serving God, we certainly must bring our bodies into submission to His revealed will (the Bible). This includes the things we say. Certainly, we must boldly declare the truth. However, there is a proper manner in which we must declare the truth. Undoubtedly, this includes the manner in which we speak. However, this first involves knowing when to speak and when not to. James again tells us, "For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body" (James 3:2). If you can learn to control your tongue, you will save yourself much grief. You will quickly further your spiritual growth and service to God.

The significance of Silence
In October 1919, Sir Percy Fitzpatrick, a South African, suggested a period of silence on Armistice Day (now commonly known as Remembrance Day) in all the countries of the empire. Throughout the war, whenever South African troops suffered heavy losses on the Western Front, a period of silence had been observed at noon in Cape Town.
Fitzpatrick's suggestion was presented to King George V, who readily agreed to the proposal. But after a trial with the Grenadier guards at Buckingham Palace, at which both Honey and Fitzpatrick were present, the period of silence was shortened to two minutes. It is unclear whether Honey and Fitzpatrick ever met or discussed ideas about the silence.
On 6 November 1919, the King sent a special message to the people of the Commonwealth:
I believe that my people in every part of the Empire fervently wish to perpetuate the memory of that Great Deliverance, and of those who laid down their lives to achieve it.
The King requested that "a complete suspension of all our normal activities" be observed for two minutes at "the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" so that "in perfect stillness the thoughts of everyone may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the Glorious Dead".
Two minutes silence was first observed in Australia on the first anniversary of the Armistice and continues to be observed on Remembrance Day, 11 November. Over the years, the two minute silence has also been incorporated into ANZAC Day and other commemorative ceremonies.
At league clubs around Australia, the remembrance silence has become part of the now nightly six o'clock (previously nine o'clock) ritual, when any light other than a memorial flame is dimmed, members stand in silence and then recite the Ode.
In recent times, one minute of silence has been observed at Australian commemorative events, such as ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day ceremonies. The reason behind this change is largely unknown.
