Nourishing Our Children for a Lifetime A guide for Discussion and Action WELCOME According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), healthy eating in childhood and adolescence is instrumental in physical and mental development. Sadly, many young people in Kentucky and the U.S. are not practicing healthy eating behaviors, and as a result, we are seeing an alarming increase in childhood obesity and other nutrition-related health issues. The KET documentary, Well Fed: Nourishing Our Children for a Lifetime, looks at what parents, schools, and communities in Kentucky are doing to help children learn the joys and benefits of healthy eating. Well Fed offers lots of examples of strategies for encouraging healthy eating that you can adapt for your home, school, or community. We've developed this discussion guide for you to use if you choose to host a screening – in whole or in part – in your community or with your students. Contents Program Overview.................................................................Page 2 Discussion Guide for Adult Audiences...............................Page 3 Discussion Guide for Youth Audiences...............................Page 7 Companion Program: More Than Child's Play................ Page 11 "Nutrition is such a fundamental part of human well-being and human potential" — Anita Courtney Program Overview Well Fed: Nourishing Our Children for a Lifetime follows the growth of a child, highlighting the importance of good nutrition starting in infancy and continuing through the teenage years. It serves up a rich buffet of inspirational stories and promising strategies to share and replicate. The Newborn and Early Childhood While breast milk is universally hailed as superior to infant formula, breastfeeding rates in Kentucky are among the nation's lowest. The program begins at the University of Kentucky hospital where new mothers are encouraged to practice Kangaroo Care as a means of increasing bonding and breastfeeding. Viewers then meet Dr. Brooke Sweeney, director of the Healthy for Life! Program at the University of Louisville and mother of two young children, who shares her experience and wisdom on the topic of early childhood nutrition. The School Years When children enter school, the opportunities for nutrition education expand. The program visits Bloom Elementary in Louisville, where parent volunteers have implemented the "Food is Elementary" curriculum, a program that teaches young learners about healthy food choices through an experiential approach that emphasizes plant-based foods and recipes from around the world.The program then makes a visit to the Latonia Elementary cafeteria in Northern Kentucky, which instituted "Meatless Mondays," demonstrating that every meal doesn't have to include meat. Viewers also get to meet children from Graves Elementary in far Western Kentucky, who now have fresh lettuce at every meal, and a group of proud Future Farmers of America members at Montgomery High School in Central Kentucky, who are raising their own beef to serve in the school cafeteria. Community Communities play an extremely important role in supporting families and schools. Many communities in Kentucky are considered food deserts, areas with limited or no access to large grocery stores with fresh and affordable foods. Well Fed takes a look at several communities who have worked hard to fill this void. In Jackson County, the health department facilitated a community garden at a public housing project that became an intergenerational effort with the seniors sharing their experiences and expertise with the youth. Viewers also travel to Bell County to learn about a program that addresses the influence of culture on food choices and two innovative efforts in Louisville to connect residents with fresh produce. 2 Discussion Guide for Adult Audiences Well Fed is designed to appeal to a wide variety of community groups and citizens, including health care professionals, food service professionals, teachers, civic organizations, church groups, and parents. Use these questions to get the conversation started, and feel free to tailor them to best serve the interests and needs of your group. Question Types • Before Viewing : These are pre-viewing suggestions that help people become more aware of the pre-conceptions and beliefs they bring to these issues. • Reflection and Comprehension: These are post-viewing questions designed to deepen viewers' understanding of key ideas and concepts from the documentary. • Focusing on Your Community: These are post-viewing questions that shift the group's attention to opportunities for action in their own community. 3 Section 1: Early Childhood "The habits we have as children tend to be the same habits we take into adulthood. So if you grow up eating a lot of fruits and vegetables and things of that nature you will probably keep those behaviors for a long time." — LaQuandra Nesbit, MD Section 1: Early Childhood 1. What eating habits did your family instill in you at a young age? Which of these habits are you now imparting to your family? 2. How is your family life now different from your life growing up because of societal changes? 3. What are the biggest challenges you face in terms of eating healthy foods on a regular basis today and sharing those practices with your current family? Reflection and Comprehension 1. Dr. Sweeney says that eating white flour and white rice is like "opening a bag of sugar and eating it right out of the bowl"? Why is this so? 2. In the same segment, Dr. Sweeney says, "We think that we eat what we like, but it's actually that you eat it and then you like it." In your experience, is this true? 3. What do highly processed foods full of fat, sugar, and salt do to our natural inclinations towards food? Focusing on Your Community 1.At the beginning of this program, you were introduced to a community event, "Veggin' Out at the Pool." What is the benefit of a locally-sourced community dinner? What does it signify beyond one delicious meal? Think about your local resources and community businesses. Who could you call on to help organize a similar event in your own community? 2.How"brest-feeding friendly" is your community? What could be done to make it more breast-feeding friendly? 4 Section 2: Schools "As a chef, one of the things I strongly advocate for in our education system is to see cooking classes come back – I think this would be real powerful form of intervention as we look at health outcomes." — Jim Whaley, Chef Consultant Before Viewing Section 2: Schools 1. What types of nutrition education programs are being taught in the schools in your community? 2. What did you learn about nutrition and cooking in school when you were growing up? 3. Do schools have a responsibility to teach nutrition and cooking, or is that the parent's role? Reflection and Comprehension 1. At Bloom Elementary they sum up their approach with a quote by author Michael Pollan, "Eat food, mostly plants, not too much." What do you think of this philosophy of eating? 2. What are the key strategies that all the schools featured in the program are using? What do you think the impact on Kentucky youth would be if these strategies were more widely adopted among other schools? 3. How are school lunches viewed at your local school, particularly by parents and students? 4. Chef consultant Jim Whaley believes that students are craving fresh flavors and taste sensations. How can we respond to this need? What kind of opportunity does this represent? Focusing on Your Community 1. What would it take to get any of the key strategies used at these schools implemented in your community (e.g., a year-long hands-on nutrition education, farm to school programs, school garden or cattle farm, Meatless Mondays). 2. Brainstorm some realistic ways you, your organization, or your school can increase access to fresh produce and teach kids about nutrition? 5 Section 3: Community "If you change an environment … if you change a system … you've created an infrastructure for healthy food and that impacts more people and has more staying power than just an individual just trying their hardest with their will power in this environment that's fighting them at every turn." — Anita Courtney Before Viewing Section 3: Community 1. Think about your community – how does it influence what you eat? 2. What are the cultural norms around eating in your community, for instance, traditions surrounding church dinners or workplace events? Reflection and Comprehension 1. How does changing a food system have more impact on individuals than telling them to go on a diet? 2. What is "contagious health"? What do you think about this concept? Where do you see it in action now, if at all? How could you implement this concept in your own community without a formal program? Focusing on Your Community 1. Where are the "food deserts" in your community? What is being done to increase access to fresh produce in those areas in your community? What more could be done? 2. What other ways can you impact the food system in your community? 6 Discussion Guide for Youth Audiences It is important to introduce youth to good nutrition because they are the next generation of leaders. What starts with them will continue with their children, starting a cycle of healthier eating habits. Kids also have the ability to influence their parents. The following discussion guide is a great way to help students see the importance of good nutrition and get them thinking about what they can do to make a positive change in themselves and those around them. It is aimed at high school students. Question Types • Before Viewing: These are pre-viewing suggestions that help people become more aware of the pre-conceptions and beliefs they bring to these issues. • Reflection and Comprehension: These are post-viewing questions designed to deepen viewers understanding of key ideas and concepts from the documentary. • Focusing on Your Community: These are post-viewing questions that shift the group's attention to opportunities for action in their own community. 7 Section 1: Early Childhood Before Viewing Section 1: Early Childhood 1. What do you consider "healthy eating"? Do find current information about nutrition confusing or helpful? 2. In what ways do you think nutrition impacts your daily life? Do you feel differently – emotionally and physically – depending on what you eat? Reflection and Comprehension 1. According to the MyPlate diagram, what foods should "dominate" your plate? What foods actually dominate your plate? Consider keep a food diary for a week to see what foods you eat and what food you need to incorporate into your diet. 2. Why is it important for you to continue to try new foods and foods that you don't like at first? 3. Why is it important to start eating healthy at your age? Focusing on You an Your Community 1. If your place doesn't resemble the MyPlate diagram*, what could you do to eat healthier? Would you be willing to try the MyPlate strategy for, say, a week? If so, how would you do this? How could you actively include new foods? 2. Consider the businesses within your community where you purchase your snacks. Do they have healthier options for you to choose? What are some things you can do to encourage these businesses to provide healthier snack options for kids? * Find information about MyPlate online at www.choosemyplate.org. This website offers information,videos, and a wide variety of printable posters and tip sheets. 8 Section 2: Schools "Education to children about food is absolutely essential and if we don't do it we're going to pay the price later on." — Serena Hirn, parent volunteer,"Food is Elementary" Before Viewing Section 2: Schools 1. What does your school do to promote healthy eating? 2. What do you think about the lunches served at your school? Reflection and Comprehension 1. What are some of the ways the students at these schools are getting involved in their own nutrition education? 2. What are the students' attitudes towards the changes being made in these schools? 3. What is the significance of Meatless Mondays? 4. In the documentary, Jim Whaley, chef consultant, says that students today are craving new taste sensations. Do you agree with this? Focusing on Your Community 1. Beyond the cafeteria, how does your school support nutrition? For example, what do booster clubs sell at snack bars? Does your school have a policy discouraging using food as rewards? 2. What kinds of activities could you organize in your school to support nutrition education and awareness? Consider what adults you might need to talk to for permission and help. 9 Section 3: Community "Eat food. Not too much.

What are the cultural traditions around food in your family and community? Do any of them conflict with messages about good nutrition? Reflection and Comprehension 1. What were some of the different community programs you saw? Which ones interested you? Why? 2. Which is more beneficial, dieting or changing the way you eat? Why? 3. What is contagious health? Focusing on Your Community 1. After viewing this section, what do you think you could do to get your community to help provide you with healthier choices at restaurants, places of recreation, and similar places? 10 The Perfect Companion Piece to Well Fed: More Than Child's Play: Why Physical Activity Matters More Than Child's Play: Why Physical Activity Matters, a 2011 KET Special Report, closely examines the causes, the serious consequences, and the possible solutions to children's sedentary lifestyles. The program underscores the connection between physical activity and academic performance and attendance as it visits Wellington Elementary, one of two new health and fitness magnet schools in Louisville, which has already attracted national attention for its innovative policies and cutting-edge fitness lab. Viewers also meet parents, students, teachers and administrators at Campbell Ridge Elementary School in Northern Kentucky, Hopkins Elementary in Somerset, Stanford Elementary School and Lexington's Ashland Elementary, all of which are finding exciting new ways to make physical activity a priority. The program also looks at the role of community initiatives and policy changes in creating more opportunities for children to be physically active. Faith-based organizations like The Kings Center in Frankfort, community efforts like Paducah's "Bikes on Broadway," and statewide advocacy groups like the Partnership for a Fit Kentucky, among others, all participate in keeping Kentucky's kids moving, hopefully producing a lifelong habit of activity that could move the needle on childhood obesity. Visit the More Than Child's Play website at www.ket.org/health/morethanchildsplay for more information and strategies you can use in your home, school, or community to increase physical activity.You can download a discussion guide to use with More Than Child's Play at www.ket.org/health/morethanchildsplay/images/cpguide.pdf; it includes tips on hosting a screening, which you may find helpful in organizing an event around Well Fed. Well Fed and More Than Child's Play were funded, in part, by a grant from the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky.

Karl even posted a rare photo with his colleague, who was a late addition to London after suffering from a chest infection, on his Instagram page.
"She's back!!!! Just in time to send me up the Tower," Karl penned.
Clearly in the mood to start afresh, Karl also phoned up Sunrise rival Samantha Armytage to bury the hatchet for a radio segment on the Fitzy and Wippa show on Nova.
"It's Karlos, Karl... you might know me from such shows as The Today Show Australia," Karl explained to Sam.
To which the quick-witted breakfast host quipped: "I've never watched it, heard it's a bit second rate."
"It is a bit second rate, just not in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne," Karl retorted.

An alternative to corneal transplants
Intacs® Corneal Implants for Keratoconus
Intacs are a transparent, microthin insert equipped with your prescription. It is placed between layers of corneal tissue and reshapes cornea curvature. This will give you improved vision while battling the symptoms of keratoconus.
No contacts or glasses required
Improved Vision
Intacs are like contacts you never have to take out. If you suffer from keratoconus and no longer benefit from contacts or glasses you may be a good candidate for Intacs. The design of the stabilizing device was created to help fight the effects of keratoconus from the inside-out by working to flatten the cornea. While it won't cure keratoconus, placement of the Intac can prevent the need to have a cornea transplant in the future.
Comfort achieved through our advanced technology
Comfortable Recovery Process
The procedure to implant the Intacs is minimally-invasive, resulting in less trauma to the cornea and surgery site. This aids in a quicker recovery and smaller chance of astigmatism developing. Distortions and scarring will be minimized as well. With the Intac procedure, you with experience an easy recovery process without effect on your daily comfort.
Designed to be permanent but can be removed
Can Be Exchanged if Vision Changes
You certainly won't need to worry about Intacs falling out. Nor will you need to worry about permanence due to removal of tissue. Because Intacs are additive, they can be removed in the future should the need arise. If you find your prescription changing dramatically you can even exchange the Intacs for a new pair that match your new vision needs.
Improved Vision will be the only indicator it's there
Cannot Be Felt
Once administered, you will not feel the Intacs in your eyes. Plus they are no more visible than contact lenses. The comfort and subtlety of this treatment option make them attractive to those suffering from keratoconus. An added bonus is the eliminated maintenance. See clearer without the hassle of upkeep.
Is Intacs® Corneal Implants for Keratoconus right for you?
Advanced Technology & Machinery
Our technology was selected for its superior performance and exceptional results. At Brevard Eye Center, we pride ourselves in using the best equipment available to get you the results you're looking for.
This laser is used during Intacs placement for making incisions in the cornea to make tunnels for placement of the Intacs. Because less pressure is being placed on the eye with the laser than other techniques, you will experience less pain and discomfort during recovery.
Why We Use the IntraLase Laser
- Precise –The Intralase Laser allows for precise incisions and depth of channels.
- No mechanical channel –With the Intralase Laser the process of implanting Intacs becomes less surgically complicated.

In the admittedly small taxonomy of buns, the topknot, or the high bun, is the bun that tends to hog the spotlight. "Look at my hair!" it screams, perched like a papal crown. It's the universal symbol of ballerinas; of young starlets parading their sex appeal; of flight attendants going for a vaguely retro look (an attempt, perhaps, to evoke a time when air travel was glamorous); of a certain brand of self-consciously sensitive bro.
If it's rare to see a person over a certain age wearing a topknot, it's because it conveys a certain uncouth youthfulness, a sense of unseriousness, a need to provoke. In this regard, another bun — the low bun, with hair wound into a spiral or folded into a loop — might seem its polar opposite. In ancient China, the style was adorned with flowers or jewels, and while considered a status symbol, it was also thought to be matronly, literally — a look worn only by married women. In the U.S., there were many decades when the low bun was associated with a decidedly practical, puritanical, even schoolmarmish look: Think of Olivia de Havilland as the boringly sensible Melanie Hamilton in "Gone With the Wind" or sweet, frumpy Auntie Em in "The Wizard of Oz," her weary face framed by wiry gray hair, pulled back and firmly coiled. It's the sort of hairstyle that fits perfectly under a bonnet. (The Wicked Witch of the West's bicycle-riding Kansas counterpart, Almira Gulch, wears one, too, jutting out beneath her stiff straw hat.) The low bun wasn't just asexual: It was an erasure of femininity altogether.
In recent years, though, the low bun has been reclaimed, just as a certain kind of womanhood has: Why should looking like a wife or mother (or a woman who simply needs her hair out of her face) have a negative connotation? Who says it's not sexy, or better yet, commanding? In a modern context, the low bun — worn loose or tidy, hastily done or carefully coifed — is a shortcut to elegance, conveying not stuffiness or seriousness so much as a hint of refreshing formality: sleek, chic and versatile, feminine without being fussy, drawing attention to the face without requesting attention outright. In an age in which having a signature uniform conveys both style and ambition, a suggestion of having better things to do, the low bun is the fail-safe solution. If eyeglasses are a quick code for "smart," the low bun, sometimes known as a chignon, has become the equivalent for "sophisticated" — but unlike, say, the French twist, it offers the added benefit of not making you look like you've tried too hard. The low bun looks good on everyone, and it's also eminently achievable. It works on clean hair and greasy hair, straight hair and curly hair, long hair and relatively short hair, with a side part or with a part down the middle. It takes virtually no skill: You simply sweep the hair back at the nape of the neck (is there a body part more poetic or demurely beautiful, both in name and in form?) and use an elastic to twirl it around into a neat whorl. The idea of effortless beauty can seem like wishful thinking at best — but if there's a single practice that comes close, it's the low bun.
On the runways, the style is a perennial: At the Givenchy spring 2017 ready-to-wear show, each model wore her hair plastered slickly to her forehead in front and tied in an elongated knot in back. The effect made way for Riccardo Tisci's cacophonous clothing and complemented its pulled-together-yet-languorous vibe. But the low bun is as fitting for an everyday power-dress uniform (Jenna Lyons, the Olsen twins) as it is for a glamorous affair (Gwyneth Paltrow's iconic 1999 Oscars look) or even a funeral (Michelle Pfeiffer mourns stunningly in one in Darren Aronofsky's recent movie "Mother!"). The low bun needs no "moment": Its moment is anytime, and always. Which, in a blink-and-it-changes culture, is the sign of real power.

Dogs being trained to sniff out COVID-19: charity
LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP)— A British charity has teamed up with scientists to see whether dogs could help detect COVID-19 through their keen sense of smell, they said on Friday.
Medical Detection Dogs will work with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and Durham University in northeast England to determine whether canines could help diagnoses.
It follows previous research into dogs' ability to sniff out malaria and is based on a belief that each disease triggers a distinct odour.
The organisations said they had begun preparations to train dogs in six weeks "to help provide a rapid, non-invasive diagnosis towards the tail end of the epidemic".
The charity has previously trained dogs to detect diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's and bacterial infections by sniffing samples taken from patients.
They can also detect subtle changes in skin temperature, potentially making them useful to determining if a person has a fever.
"In principle, we're sure that dogs could detect COVID-19," said Claire Guest, founder and chief executive of Medical Detection Dogs.
"We are now looking into how we can safely catch the odour of the virus from patients and present it to the dogs.
"The aim is that dogs will be able to screen anyone, including those who are asymptomatic, and tell us whether they need to be tested.
"This would be fast, effective and non-invasive and make sure the limited NHS (National Health Service) testing resources are only used where they are really needed."
The head of disease control at the LSHTM said dogs could detect malaria with "extremely high accuracy" and, as other respiratory diseases changed body odour, there was a "very high chance" it could also work with COVID-19.
Detection dogs could be deployed at airports at the end of the epidemic to rapidly identify people carrying the virus, helping prevent the re-emergence of the disease, according to Steve Lindsay from Durham University.
Over 500,000 coronavirus infections have now been recorded across 182 countries, contributing to 22,920 deaths, according to an AFP calculation based on official country data and World Health Organization figures.
The number of actual infections is believed to be higher since many countries are only testing severe cases or patients requiring hospitalisation.

Crossing the Lines. M.Q. Barber,
Crossing the Lines. M.Q. Barber,
Review from Jeannie Zelos Book reviews.
I do love well written erotica, that which has a good story, and doesn't just rely on page after page after page of sex to try to fill content. I hadn't read the first in this series, but this looked promising so I settled in to read. Its a great story, a gentle interlude into how the sex contract between the trio is working.
Henry is a Dom, not a harsh, bullying, heavy handed one but a gentle, subtle, thoughtful man who really looks to what Alice and Jay need. Jay's been with him a while now, and still needs Henry's help to get over a brief, but very bad experience with a bullying Dom. Alice moved in to the apartment next to theirs 20 months ago, and has been under the D/s contract 8 months now. She's finding that though it suited her at first, she wants more, but is so afraid of offending Jay and Henry, fearing she's intruding and will lose what they have. It means she's struggling, and I loved the way Henry senses that – as he seems to instinctively know what they both need all the while – and how he deals with it. Jay is lovely, Alice describes him as like an overgrown puppy and that's really apt. His enthusiasm for everything bubbles over, his mouth runs at a mile a minute, and he's such a contrast to Henry who considers the consequences of everything before he speaks or acts. Sometimes though the best laid plans and all that…..
There's some hot and sensual sex scenes. Some BDSM scenes in a club showing just how things can go wrong so easily, and how lucky they are to have Henry who doesn't need to show the world his control, its enough for him that it keeps the three of them happy. There's some humour and some times when I could have cried for poor Alice, wanting more and yet terrified of tipping the boat, and losing what she had. Its so easy to get confused with miscommunication too, and this is shown really well here. Its not a heart stopping romance, but a gentle progression building on what they have and I loved it. Its priced at £2.68 for 255 pagesand is one I'd happily re read.

Sex, Lies, and Beauty Aids. Deb Julienne.
Review from Jeannie Zelos Book reviews.
In the mood for a humorous romance I settled in to this book. Sadly I found it just too stereotypical and I couldn't really take the characters seriously. Sabrina, was just too much of an innocent, she's in a high powered job and though I could believe she's a virgin still, I couldn't take the issue of her know nothing about sex seriously, she's working for a magazine, she'd have surely read the competition and you can't pick up a magazine without some sex headline screaming across it, and content of how, which, why, on sex issues. Then there's Trent/Travis. The swaps I could believe, but this one? Somehow I couldn't take that staid responsible serious Travis had such a problem and the family were unaware, and that after just three weeks he was fine…and for a Playboy lightweight Trent was pretty innocent too. I can see that he was attracted to Sabrina but not why he simply bypassed her on their earlier meeting.
So with that colouring my views the story really didn't have much of a chance 😦 though there were some fun moments ( jail!) there were also a lot of clichéd ones too ( the blue pill…) All that just means though that it didn't suit me, you may be looking for something enirely different, or able to get over the hiccups that stopped my enjoying the novel. Its wasn't a bad book, but just wasn't a good one for me either. Its priced at £1.98 for 232 pages so around average for the genre.

It's been a while!
We've had a busy summer, spending as much time as we can outside, visiting with friends and family.
The girls are doing good. They are both getting big, and they can't get enough of each other.
Bridget can sit supported in her boppy. She loves being part of the action, and hates laying down unless she's sleeping. Unfortunately, sleeping at night is her one struggle right now. At six weeks old she was sleeping 5 or 6 hours at night. Now, at 5 months, she only sleeps about 2 or 3 hours before she wants to nurse again. I know part of the problem is she's not being swaddled. It got too hot and she outgrew the blanket I had. I ordered a larger size in hopes that swaddling again gets us all sleeping better at night.
Claire is busy, busy, busy! She's spent her summer playing in her new sandbox, swinging at the park, riding in her stroller and practicing kicking her ball all over the yard. We spent lots of the time in pool, both on vacation and in the local pool. She loves swimming and jumping in to go underwater. Claire starts her new daycare at the beginning of September. She's been in her current center since right around her first birthday, and this is going to be a big change for her. She's quite attached to the staff and I know she'll miss them. She'll know a few kids at the new center, so I hope the transition will be a smooth one!

I absolutely love both of those pictures. Such happy healthy little girls! You know, maybe Bridget is just going through an insane growth spurt. Or teething. Both of those events did really WEIRD things to my kids' appetites, their rhythms, their moods. Even now, I can always tell when a growth spurt is coming. My son will come down and freaking clean out the refrigerator at 2 in the morning, for days in a row. Then he will sleep until noon. And he will have these scary rages if he doesn't get dinner NOW. Crazy kids!ReplyDelete
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. Good luck with that first IEP. I remember ours...it went very well even though I stressed a ton! Your girls are so beautiful and your have a great blog!ReplyDelete
Wow, Bridget and Claire look soooo much alike!! Good luck with the sleeping and the new preschool!! Sounds exciting!ReplyDelete

Key lending issues
- accepting the latest year's Tax Returns AND Tax Assessments instead of requiring the last 2 years returns
- accepting contract and regular casual income after only 3 months continuous service/income
- annual income calculation is based YTD gross income as evidenced on latest payslip
- 100% of overtime accepted if evidenced over 3 continuous months
- Family Allowance income accepted regardless of age of children
In many instances, these simpler criteria result in easier loan eligibility than before.

Summer Champs keep rolling, over the Game Changers
The summer champs just keep on rolling on. Sams Ballers beat the Game Changers 81-61 powered by strong defense and a luxury of talent. While the margin of victory was 20, Game Changers did cut the deficit to single digits once. Boo Jackson (17 points) decided that it was a good time to get going and Sams Ballers rode the back of the talented scorer until they regained full control of the game.
The game started with an outstanding defensive effort from the Summer Champs, despite having a roster with a couple of players that aren't typically known for their success on that end of the floor. That defense allowed them to get out to a 9-0 start, with good ball pressure and transition baskets. It took a while for Game Changers to hit their first shot, but Nate got it done when he drilled a three-pointer. What made the defensive effort more impressive is that they don't have anything remotely resembling a big man on Sams Ballers. It's essentially small ball, but they have a good mix of size in that starting five that gives the versatility needed to hit the glass and also push the ball up court. Antonio (12 points) threw down a two handed jam off the vertical in a half court possession and the ball movement was just beautiful for the summer champs.
Things didn't go great for the Game Changers at all in the first half, as they trailed 41-22 at the break. They didn't give in or give up as they started the half with a quick run on the strength of Benny and Nate. Sams Ballers would respond with a triple from Issac (11 points) to push their 12 point lead back to 15.
Then the teams had a brief stretch in which they took turns taking and making threes, the problem is trading baskets didn't help the team that was trailing much. Game Changers started to dig in on the defensive end and the tide appeared to be turning. Like Sams Ballers at the start of the game, they used great defense to spark a run. All that great spacing from Sams Ballers in the first half? Gone. Replaced with sloppy passes and lack luster effort. It was an impressive run from Game Changers, a triple from Benny cut the lead down to six. The one time 20-point-lead dwindled all the way down to six and Game Changers started to truly believe they could get the job done.
Then it happened. Boo got going. Jackson has been working on his body the last couple of years and it's showing, he's able to now change speeds and with more suddenness. It started with a basket in transition in which he uses his strength and size to euro-step past two defenders and finish. The summer champs would decide to feed the hot hand while it lasted. Then Jackson got more help, Issac started to get going and before you knew it the six point lead had ballooned back to 14. Benny (14 points), Nate (12 points), and Melo (16 points) continued to score for their team, but they just couldn't get enough stops. Sams Ballers would close the door on the Game Changers with an off-the-glass pass from Issac to Dante (8 points).

Weeping May Endure for the Night but Joy Comes in the Morning!
Yesterday we learned a very dear friend, Talmage Ladd, went to Heaven. Years of memories flooded my mind's eye. My husband and I swapped one story after another as we walked down Memory Lane. We'd laugh and then we'd cry.
In the midst of our grief, we turned the pages of our Amy Carmichael's devotional. Her entire piece was on death and the grieving process. She pointed out, as only Amy can, that grief for the Christian is NEVER eternal. It's just temporary. Her words were soul food. The trials of this life are just temporary! The waves of sadness that sometimes feel like they will suffocate us are just temporary. There is a day coming when all suffering will come to an end. There will be no more goodbyes, no more pain and no more grief!
Oh death where is thy sting.... Oh grave where is thy victory....
We are a day closer to Home. A day nearer to being reunited with our loved ones again. And that is ETERNAL! Hallelujah! We shall forever be with our Lord!
It reminds me of a song my beloved grandmother often sang....
What a day that will be
When my JESUS I shall I see
When I look upon His face
The One who saved me by His grace.
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me to the Promised Land.
What a day.... glorious day that will be.
There will be no sorrow there.
No more burdens to bear....
No more sickness, no more pain...
No more parting over there
And forever I will be with the One who died for me
What a day... a glorious day that will be...

Palace says "no need to panic" over absence of NFA rice stock
Malacanang said on Tuesday that the public should not panic despite reports that there was no more rice reserve by the National Food Authority.
In a text message to reporters, Senior Deputy Executive Secretary Menardo Guevarra said overall there is sufficient rice supply in the country.
"We all know that the NFA stocks were really low, but the overall rice supply is more than sufficient with plenty to spare. No need to panic," he said.
Even if the NFA's distribution stock was reportedly wiped out, he said there is no need to further advance the importation of 250,000 metric tons of rice.
"There's no shortage, that's why the schedule for importation is the same," Guevarra said.
Last month, President Rodrigo Duterte ordered NFA to start the procurement process for the importation of 250,000 MT of rice, earlier than what was initially set by the NFA Council, to stabilize market prices.
With no more buffer stock of NFA rice, asked on the possibility of further increase of prices of commercial rice, Guevarra said, "An unusual rise in price despite more than adequate supplies could only be the result of manipulation."
He said the government would monitor rice traders very closely.
Meanwhile, Assistant Secretary and Deputy Executive Director Jonas Soriano of the Office of the Cabinet Secretary urged the Commission on Audit to look into the operation of NFA.
He wondered why the agency had to sell rice during the last quarter of 2017 when it was harvest season.
"During lean season when there was not much rice supply, they don't sell much. So where's the logic? But we don't want to make any judgment here. That's why one of the resolutions is to pursue audit by COA to look at operations of management, not only in October, November, December, but henceforth, since the Duterte administration came in and a little before that. So, we can establish the pattern," he said in a phone patch interview.
"Why the need to sell when there is a need for buffer stock?," he added.
The official said several questions have to be answered, which could help in crafting policies to make sure that the people are protected, as well as the farmers. Celerina Monte/DMS

A 28-year-old man was killed in a shooting in an alley between 19th and 20th Streets in the Pico Neighborhood of Santa Monica Saturday, June 28th, police said.
Police believe the incident was gang-related but are unsure if the victim was involved in gangs, Santa Monica police Sgt. Renaldi Thruston said.
Police were called to an alley in the 2000 block of 19th Court, north of Pico Boulevard, at 9:53 p.m. regarding a report of shots fired in the area, he said.
When officers arrived at the scene they were unable to locate any potential victims or witnesses, but while they were searching the area a few minutes later, they were notified by a local hospital that a man was being treated for a gunshot wound, Thruston said.
The man, identified as Gardena resident Byron Lopez, later died of his injuries at the hospital, Thruston said.
The death is the fourth homicide to occur in Santa Monica this year.
Police determined that Lopez was in the 2000 block of 19th Court at the time the incident occurred and was shot, Thruston said. The victim's friends then drove him to the hospital.
Thruston said police are investigating the circumstances of the shooting and are looking for two suspects, described only as African Americans, in connection to the incident.
Anyone with additional information regarding this incident is asked to contact Santa Monica Police Department detectives at (310) 458-8451, or the watch commander at (310) 458-8427. Callers who wish to remain anonymous may also call the We-Tip national hotline at (800) 782-7463 (800-78-CRIME).

Free Spyware Detector and Eliminator
Spybot – Search & Destroy (often Spybot-S&D) is a popular malware, spyware and adware removal program which works on Microsoft Windows 95 and later. Like most malware scanners, Spybot-S&D scans the computer hard disk and/or RAM for malicious software.
Spybot was written by the German software engineer Patrick Michael Kolla, and is distributed by Kolla's Irish company Safer Networking Limited. Development began in 2000 when Kolla, still a student, wrote a small program to deal with the Aureate/Radiate and Conducent TimeSink programs, two of the earliest examples of adware.

Smartphones aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It will be another decade (or more) before your digital life is projected into the world around you, viewed through seemingly magical augmented-reality glasses.
You know the kind: The Google Glasses of the world, worn like sunglasses, which appear to "project" stuff like email or directions directly into reality when they're actually just overlaying your vision with digital information.
For many folks in Silicon Valley, augmented reality is an inevitable evolution of the current smartphone-obsessed world we live in. That begs the question: What will that world look like? A new Xbox One and PC game called "Tacoma" offers a vision into that worryingly-believable future.
Let's take a look.
In 'Tacoma,' set in 2088, you're an employee sent to explore an abandoned space station (named 'Tacoma'). You can watch employee AR logs to unravel the game's story. In reality, that means you can watch their their lives play out through ghostly silhouettes and voice recordings.
In the future where 'Tacoma' is set, employees of the Venturis corporation are working on a space station. A condition of their employment is having their entire lives recorded through augmented reality. As a result, your exploration of the now-abandoned space station is filled with ghostly replays of their lives.
In a nod to another potential AR feature of the not-so-distant future, each employee's job is designated by the symbol on their back. Above, the station medic plays a game of pool.
If these skeletal frames look familiar, maybe you've seen motion-sensing cameras in action before. Microsoft's Kinect, for example, views humans through a similar perspective.
The skeletal frames recorded by the space station's monitoring system enable the player to see a surprising amount of human interaction.
In this instance, you can see a surprising amount of detail even with just superficial skeletal tracking. One man makes an argument to a group of people while they react in a variety of different ways.
Also of note: ID tags pop up over people, like in a virtual world. There are a variety of less-than-savoury connotations to this concept -- perhaps those ID tags also show annual income, or other status measurements -- but in the world of 'Tacoma,' it's solely used as a personnel badge.
Imagine this concept playing out in real life, though:
You go to meet your friend at Central Park, but it's huge. Where are they?! You call your friend, and their face pops up a foot away from your own on a projected screen. 'Where are you?' you ask. 'Right here,' your friend says -- and instantly, a real-world indicator shows their location. Your AR glasses guide you to the friend, seamlessly, while walking -- projecting directions into the world around you. No stopping to check your phone or look on Google Maps or whatever else. It's this promise that makes AR so appealing, and the logical successor to smartphones.
That's one of the big promises of augmented reality: the end of screens. In this image, you can see a silhouette of a person using an AR computer -- it simply pops up in front of them, wherever they are. No screen!
This concept of AR has been most touted by companies like Magic Leap -- a means of doing basic computer tasks like email, web browsing, or video streaming in AR. Rather than looking at a screen, the screen comes to you. In the world in front of you, your AR headset projects the 'screen' where you view whatever you want. You could use your voice, or a physical controller, to manipulate what you see on the digital screen.
'Tacoma' showcases the potential AR future for stuff we usually do on smartphones and computers, which seems highly plausible given examples we've seen from places like Magic Leap.
Take this example still image from a Magic Leap concept video, for example:
(image url='http://static.businessinsider.com/image/550b299469beddd55c9c3e26/image.jpg' alt='Magic Leap AR preview' link='lightbox' size='primary' align='center' nocrop='false' clear='true')
Here's another shot of that AR computer in action in 'Tacoma.' The screen is only viewable by whoever is using it, even though it's a large computer screen seemingly floating in the air.
It's easy to imagine this type of technology easily slipping into everyday use; it essentially computerizes our consciousness, which has already begun taking place with the advent of home computers and ubiquitous smartphones.
Since 'Tacoma' is played from a first-person perspective, it offers a view of what it might be like to live in a world where augmented reality is normal. The floating upside down pyramid and the various signs in the world are projections, only seen by the person wearing an AR headset of some type.
Simple applications like this are just the beginning for AR. In the case of 'Tacoma,' one of your first interactions with the world involves seeing these pretty standard AR concepts. Similarly, in reality, we're likely to see tame stuff like instructional signs and basic computer functions as some of the first applications of mainstream AR.
More than just convenient, AR signs can be easily changed -- think of it like a holographic computer screen, where anything can be projected.
To this end, AR turns your real life into a kind of video game reality. Your actions are contextual based on location, as are the things you see pop up in the world around you.
Imagine you're an employee at Future Corp. and your employer is able to grant you access to locations, projects, and staff based on your AR clearance. The concept of AR depicted by 'Tacoma' marries your digital life with your real life in fascinating, complex ways.
Along the same lines, the AR recordings in 'Tacoma' that are used as employee logs could also be applied to, say, burglary analysis, or monitoring pets at home from afar.
In the case of 'Tacoma,' most of the AR logs are pretty tame. These two staffers above, for instance, are enjoying a conversation while floating around in low gravity.
But what if your home is broken into while you're out? AR data could provide a lot more info about exactly what happened and how, enabling police to better pinpoint the culprit and insurers to better recompense your lost goods.
On the lighter side, it'd be a really effective way to see what your pets are up to during the day. Turns out they actually were playing poker all day.
Aside from the amazingly logical vision of the future 'Tacoma' envisions, it's a fantastically enjoyable game. If you've got an Xbox One or PC, it's available to play right now and costs just $19.99. Check out the launch trailer for it right here if you're interested!

Rio Ferdinand has been banned from driving for six months after admitting to speeding.
The former-England-footballer-turned-sports-pundit was charged with breaking the 70-miles-per-hour speed limit in a Mercedes on the A27 at Hangleton in Hove on the south coast of England on July 22 last year.
Ferdinand, 41, attended a hearing at Crawley Magistrates' Court on Tuesday morning (August 18) where he was disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving licence for six months having hit a speed of 85-miles-per-hour.

The father-of-three was also ordered to pay a total of £822 in fines and costs, court officials confirmed.
Ferdinand was previously caught speeding in his luxury Jaguar car three times in five weeks on the same road in Manchester in 2012.
He was fined and handed a six-month ban on that occasion, despite an argument from his lawyer at the time, Nick "Mr Loophole" Freeman, that he should only receive a shorter discretionary suspension.
Ferdinand and his wife Kate Wright recently revealed they are expecting their first child together.
He has been in a relationship with the former The Only Way Is Essex star, 29, since 2017 and they were married in September 2019.

Ferdinand's first wife Rebecca died at the age of 34 in 2015 after she was diagnosed with breast cancer for a second time. The former Manchester United star already has three children from his previous marriage, Lorenz, 14, Tate, 11, and nine-year-old Tia.
Ferdinand and Wright took part in BBC documentary Rio And Kate: Becoming A Stepfamily, which aired earlier this year.
Wright opened up on what it was like to become a new stepmother to three grieving children, while Ferdinand spoke about what it was like to find love again after the heartbreak of losing his first wife.

The Deputy Chairman of the Russian Government for Social Policy Tatyana Golikova stated that unemployment benefit in Russia would sharply grow from January 1, 2019, according to the "Izvestia" newspaper. It is planned to raise the maximum benefit amount to 8 thousand roubles.
The minimum and maximum benefits are determined by the government annually, but the current figures - 850 roubles of the minimum benefit and 4.9 thousand of the maximum benefit - have not changed since 2009.
Besides, the government proposed to increase the minimum wage from next year, but the growth of this indicator will not be so sharp: now it makes up 11,163 roubles, it is suggested to raise it up to 11,280 roubles.

If you want to argue that congestion is good like the entire body of the article tries to its no strawman argument to point out that congestion does nothing for a community but it is rather a symptom of a healthy community. That minor disclaimer is an aside only whereas its actually the very most important point of the article. Creating congestion does not attract people or business as the article infers notwithstanding the qualification. To infer that you aren't trying to say that congestion should be created to create a healthy core is dishonest

MediaTek vs Snapdragon vs Exynos vs Hisilicon? Which one is Best?
Assalamu Waalikum,
how are you all? I hope you are good. Today i will discuss about best,fastest processor for android mobile/smartphone from Mediatek/Snapdragon/Exynos/Hisilicon. Then you decide what is good for you. Hopefully I can give you good gifts :-). So let's start ……
Do you want to know which of the following processors will be good? Then my information can help you a little bit. Of course, every processor has different models. These are actually called SOC (system on chip). The SOC actually means, which does not have just the processor, but it also has the components of CPU, Bluetooth, GPS, LTE, sensor, WiFi etc. The ARM (learn Here) architecture is available in almost all models above. Let's see the differences, advantages and disadvantages of them …
Is it really bad or better? Actually the first time when the Android phone arrived, this mediatek was the hope. Later the Snapdragon came after the processor's favorable price came. In fact the battery drain was more than the mediatek It is a Taiwan company that makes SOC in a low cost. So this processor is used in less expensive smartphones. Again, it is used for higher prices smartphones, where mediatek is used to keep the other aspects better and keep prices at affordable levels. Actually it can be a mobile company policy. So do not worry about it. MediaTek recently brought the 10-core processor in the market. At Mid-range, they provide better performance processors. But the problem is that while the multi-tasking is a lot of hits and the battery ends quickly. But the company has said they will solve the problem. Another thing is that with the age, the processor performance decreases rapidly.
Qualcomm Snapdragon
It is a US-based processor company and its price is more than that of MediaTek. Again you will get less cost processor if you want. Except Snapdragon 801, there is no heating problem in other model. In fact, their main goal is that the quality means high-end processors at higher prices. If you say it is the best processor then it will not be called a mistake. There are various aspects of the processor, which means that each unit of SOC can work independently. For example, the image processing unit can process images and videos with less battery usage, where the CPU can do other work independently. If the mediatek comes in the words, then the CPU and GPU do the same work, which results in heating and the battery drains faster.
Samsung Exynos
Samsung's own built-in processor. Exynos were used in MeiZu besides Samsung. Comparing with Snapdragon, you can call it rival. In the same benchmark, similar processors are almost the same, so the first second is difficult to determine. But the graphics quality is good in this processeor. However, many users have a problem in it, such as Lags in some high quality games. Basically those who are games lover.
This is made by the Huawei Company, which use less battery. But if you come to terms of performance then you will got lagging behind with good chipsets. But they are certainly trying to increase their GPU's performance and in the current processors hope this problem will not be there anymore. With this, they are doing the work of the Impact of the SOC.
Now my discussion is end. You have to give opinions. Please comment below which of the processors are best to you.
N.B. Please comment and you give your opinion. Your feedback will help me move forward.
Thank you all.

» Exhibition Catalogue
The shadow is one of the many visual elements within the tableau of everyday icons that populate my artworks. Its context has usually indicated an unseen presence beyond the frame of the work or signified an aspect of that which is casting the shadow. As a result of these earlier works, I have now become preoccupied with the shadow and its possibilities within a 3D format. The shadow as an expressive material object will be the point of difference and focus in developing my body of work for this exhibition. In some cases becoming the dominant 3D form, shadows will give insight into the figures' characters and provide linkages between the visual, the psychological and their manifestations.

It can be a little difficult to sit down and write about what Noah's up to, being with him every day it's harder to notice the changes.
He's doing well with his speech therapist, but so far he hasn't gotten to where he can talk to us so we can understand him. He can say tons of words, but his extemporaneous speech we just don't get. He's speaking more calmly and slowly to us, and I apologize to him all the time that I don't understand. We know he'll get there. He can repeat counting to ten though - except for "one" - even "seven" is easier than "one". And he loves praise - he'll clap and say "yah!" even in anticipation of getting something right.
He has finally managed to cleanly feed himself with a spoon. He still loves his oatmeal with applesauce and raisins, and he loves cottage cheese. I can give him a little bowl and 95% of it ends up in his mouth!
He still isn't a big fan of putting shirts on. I think it's because it's no fun pulling them over his head. Or maybe he just knows he looks good! Some days, even now that it's cold, it's noon before I get a shirt on him. At least he's in pants and socks.
We're very glad we get all of his clothes at consignment stores because most of the pants we bought him for winter won't last through December. I don't think he ever stops growing taller. At 2 1/2 in a couple of months, he'll be in 3T pants.
He's figured out how to hop. For a long time he'd jump up and down in his crib holding on. About a week ago he finally started hopping around on the regular floor. So cute! And he's improving his form on his forward rolls - he now keeps his legs straight as he comes forward. Last night he was doing forward rolls off of the foot stool. Ugh. Thankfully he's still not a daredevil!
One of his most favorite things to do is run down the hallway from his bedroom into the living room and face plant into the luv sac bean bag chair. He can do this for fifteen to twenty minutes until he's all out of breath and we make him chill.
He's a sweet, physical, handsome, smart boy. Every day we're so amazing that we get to keep him!

An even weirder explanation to the illustration by me!Don't know what your idea behind it was.hope this makes sense for I don't know much about wormholes..
There was a girl from Delhi
who once set out from home early...
to board a bus
before the morning rush
and as the bus took to the roads
in the darkness no one could even read the boards
with the conductor as she began to bargain
someone from behind shrieked in pain
for the bus had unexpectedly caught a wormhole
and now resembled a stuffed chicken roll
her office she tried to spot in vain
but the new sight further confused her brain
the bus had reached a point in space
where you couldn't find the human race
this incident on her mind took a heavy toll
and now she's never the same again!

Archaeologists have discovered signs of a "sophisticated" hospital building on an Aberdeenshire estate, dating back to the 17th century.
And they have even found an application to Parliament from the Erskin family in 1641 for the construction of the building on the Pittodrie estate at Chapel of Garioch, near Inverurie.
The Bennachie Landscapes Fieldwork Group has been working at the site for the last month and originally started searching for a traditional bede house, created to provide refuge for the old and infirm.
However, their excavations unveiled something which none of them had been expecting in the shape of a well-maintained, substantial hospital building at the site.
Colin Shepherd, one of the archaeologists on the dig, said: "We have a detailed description of what this building must have looked like more than 350 years ago.
"And our findings indicate this was a hospital built by the Erskins in the 1650s and a property which was of significant dimensions.
"We think the walls are too substantial for a single-storey structure. Instead, there were two largish rooms on the ground floor, an entranceway, and a staircase into the upper chamber.
"It also had a slate roof, although all the slates were taken away, and it had sophisticated masonry, window sills, door jambs, and other features which testify to the fact it was built by the local laird.
"Colin Miller, who was also involved in the excavation, also discovered the original document from the Erskins with the application to parliament to build a hospital.
"So all the evidence at the moment points to this being a hospital rather than a 'bede house'."
Bennachie Landscapes is a project organised jointly by the Bailies of Bennachie and Aberdeen University, which has been running since 2010, and researches the social and natural heritage and landscape of the area.
An account from 1843 listed the building in these terms: "There was a hospital, at Pittodrie, for four poor men, founded under King Charles II by William Erskin of Pittodrie, who ought to have each one peck of meal, and half a peck of malt, weekly; to wear livery gowns, and go to the church on Sundays before the family. It consists of two chambers and one mid-room."
Mr Shepherd added: "It is always exciting when you find something like this and it helped that we had access to recent LiDAR (light detection and ranging) sensing.
"We did cover a lot of ground in the last few weeks and we are hoping to return next year, because it is a fascinating site.
"We will now be preparing a detailed report on our activities."

(Happy Hour. Lisa's Presentation. Dinner and Dessert. More Great Socializing)
"Create The Life You Love: The Demartini Method: Family Dynamics. Relationships. Function Or Dysfunction. Your Choice."
Our Guest of Honor
Lisa Handley
Life Facilator
How Universal Laws and the Demartini Method relate to:
Family Dynamics and Relationships. Function or Dysfunction, Your Choice
See Your Family and Relationships from a New Perspective
Sometimes we look at our families and label them as dysfunctional. But what if there was a bigger picture to our family, we just have not taken the time to see it. How would your relationships change? How much more free would you feel?
Come and hear about the order behind the apparent chaos in our families and relationships, and take away insights that will prove valuable for the future.
It sounds 'heavy' but it will be a fun and practical discussion
Would you love to:
- Understand the dynamics of your family of origin, and current relationships
- Appreciate your partners, children, parents and all those people who currently drive you crazy
- Understand why certain events may have occurred in your family
- Have a greater appreciation for your current relationships
- Have a greater appreciation for yourself
The evening presentation will be by Lisa Handley. Lisa loves to help people see events in their lives from a new perspective using the Demartini Method, a process so effective that what once took weeks, months or even years to heal and change, can be achieved in a matter of hours.
Lisa was one of Dr Demartini's first facilitators in Australia in 1996 and is one of the relatively few people in the world certified to teach his signature program, The Breakthrough Experience.
Dr John Demartini says of Lisa:
I have seen her tackle senior executives with firmness, as well as young teenagers with gentle gloves. She has persevered in her studies and cares about her work. I hope you are blessed to be able to see her work in action.
I have seen Anthony Robbins (done the fire walk), Deepak Chopra, Stuart Wilde, Wayne Dyer, Michael Rowland (three courses), read approximately 80 books over eight years, all in aid of 'fixing' myself and all of them together have not come close to working with Lisa.

I had some more of the cut off Maple that I used for the other shoulder plane, which was essentially a copy of a molding plane converted to a shoulder plane. This time, I wanted to build a proper wooden shoulder plane. I looked at a few pictures on the Internet and went to work. The blade is a replacement blade for the wooden shoulder plane sold by Lee Valley. I bought a few of them as they were quite an expensive and I would like to make molding planes out of them. Simple things first. So, for the most part, the shavings come out appropriately, but it does jam occasionally. I suspect I could probably make the opening bigger.

Front end of dado
When leaning one way or the other, or cutting with part of the blade, there is no issue. When cutting a through dado, it tends to accordion on itself. Otherwise, the shavings come off nicely one side or the other.
