I've rolled in these spats for a couple of weeks. They are really nice! The material is thick and breathable. IMO the sizing runs big. It would be cool if Phalanx made tall sizes. No complaints and well worth it
These spats are spot on. The sublimated fabric looks great, and the fit is perfect, and the spats are great in the most intense training.
I think the spats sizing runs big. Other than that the spats are high quality and nice to roll in.
excellent, they look great and provide great support

Can Maureen Mwanawasa be Zambia's first female president? We think so!!!
Recently during the cabinet reshuffle HE Levy P Mwanawasa, SC. encouraged NEC (National Executive Committee for the MMD) to start thinking about his successor.
Dr. Mwanawasa also mentioned that he had someone in mind that he felt NEC would have no objections to … whoever that person is and or could be, we at the Zambian Chronicle are not privy his choice.
But with the advent of female presidents around the globe, we think that the First Lady would have an easy sail through the MMD nomination process.
There are several reasons why this might happen among them being that Dr. Mwanawasa's popularity is at an all-time high within the Zambian Enterprise. Thus at the end of his term, it goes without saying that whoever he endorses would carry the day as his successor.
The other reasons are but not limited to the fact that, we Africans seem to love continuity more than change and should the current first lady be interested in running for State House, more of the president's supporters would feel more comfortable with that scenario as they would still envision Dr. Mwanawasa at the helm.
Also, world trends seem to be moving in that direction. In Argentina, former first lady Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner won the country's presidential election in a peaceful vote, while Hillary R Clinton might be the first female US president next year in what may be one of the toughest races in history.
Should Mrs. Mwanawasa seek the nomination, she would have a lot of things working for well for her. Among other things unlike our first two first ladies, she is more up to the task, educated, articulate, more diplomatic as well as presidential.
She is seen from inner circles as the brain behind a lot of good initiatives in the current administration and she is very likeable.
UDA can then re-unite and let Nawakwi run so she can be beaten once and for all – sorry Edith but we just had to throw that one in; and that's this week's memo from us at the Zambian Chronicle … thanks a trillion

Brewer William Bass' 300th birthday celebrated
A plaque has been unveiled to celebrate the 300th birthday of one of Britain's most illustrious brewers.
William Bass, who is believed to have been born in Hinckley, Leicestershire, in 1717, founded the Bass Brewery in Burton-upon-Trent, aged 60.
The company became famous across the world for its beer and its red triangle symbol was the UK's first trademark.
Richard Lewin, who helped organise the honour, said the firm still has "global significance" thanks to its founder.
Mr Lewin, from the Campaign for Real Ale (Camra) in Hinckley, said William Bass was "probably the greatest brewer" the country has had.
He said the businessman started as a carrier of beer from the Midlands to London, before moving into brewing to give his sons a better future.
The company became one of the country's biggest brewers and its "excellent beers" were exported throughout the world, said Mr Lewin.
The brewery's famous red triangle was even featured in Edouard Manet's A Bar at the Folies-Bergère, in 1882, and in some of Picasso's work.
Mr Lewin said although no record of Bass' birthplace in Hinckley can be found, his early life in the town is beyond dispute, before he moved to Burton-upon-Trent in 1756.
Vanessa Winstone, collections officer a the National Brewery Centre, said: "It is true to say that although William Bass' time in brewing was short, his legacy was long.
"His sons and grandsons continued the family tradition and the company ran as a hugely successful enterprise until 1999."
The blue plaque was unveiled at a property in Castle Street that existed at the time William Bass and his family lived in Hinckley.
However, the exact location of the home is unknown.
Two other brewers William Worthington and William Butler, with links to Hinckley, will be honoured later in the year.

Board of Trustees Statement Regarding Interim President John Engler
June 21, 2018
A majority of the Board of Trustees appreciates the statement issued today by the MSU Interim President John Engler.
"John's apology for the comments contained in an April email that was released last week is appropriate and appreciated by a majority of the Board," said Brian Breslin, Chair of the MSU Board of Trustees.
The Board remains very hopeful that the $500 million settlement reached with the Nassar survivors will allow them to heal and MSU to accelerate efforts to enhance campus safety and security for all who study, work or visit one of America's most beautiful universities.
The Board supports the efforts of Interim President Engler and key leadership to implement Board of Trustee endorsed reforms that include:
1. Establishing the positions of Associate Vice President for Civil Rights and Title IX Education and Compliance and Director of Title IX Prevention, Outreach and Education
2. Creating the Office of Enterprise Risk Management, Ethics and Compliance
3. Establishing the position of Chief Compliance Officer (CCO)
4. Creating the Michigan State University Policy Library
5. Making the funding of key campus safety programs a priority in the 2018-19 academic year budget
- 13 new Title IX and related positions, including preventive and investigative staff
- 10 new positions in Counseling and Psychiatric Services
- Four new MSU public safety officers
- Two new Employee Assistance Program positions
- Two new Office of Enterprise Risk Management, Ethics and Compliance positions
The combined impact of these organizational changes, new leadership roles and the addition of new staff continues the overhaul of the MSU approach to prevention, investigation and compliance. The comparison of where we are today to one year ago is stunning. The changes listed above do not include the significant changes that reorganized the leadership of MSU Health Affairs and saw new requirements mandated for doctors such as increased record keeping, detailed patient chaperone policy, strengthening information kept on volunteering off-site and new medical protocols.
The Board of Trustees believes the effect of these changes is to protect patients, increase prevention and encourage anyone who may have been a victim to come forward, speak up and receive appropriate services, and to be confident that they are being heard.
The majority of the Board believes Interim President Engler has played a significant leadership role developing our new approaches and has been a driving force in the rapid rollout of many of these reforms. He will continue to serve as interim president until a new president is selected. John is not a candidate for the permanent position and has stated repeatedly that he wishes to depart as soon as the new president is chosen.
The Board met this week with Dr. Theresa Sullivan, our advisor in the presidential search process. It was a positive conversation and we are hopeful that we will soon have more information to share. We can confirm that there was considerable discussion devoted to the process and the need for extensive outreach to the university community and for an inclusive approach to the actual search committee.

America is now the world's largest natural gas producer—and you may be surprised to find out how much of that production takes place on federal and tribal lands in New Mexico. Not only is New Mexico in the top two for oil and gas production from federal lands, it has the unfortunate distinction of leading the nation in wasted natural gas from these lands as well—to the tune of more than $100 million worth of gas a year.
The Department of Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has proposed a rule putting strict limits on this pollution—and most of New Mexico's congressional delegation stood up to support it.
Thank Senators Udall and Heinrich, and Representatives Luján and Lujan Grisham for raising their voices in support of strong climate action.
Thank you for supporting critical methane limits

GARDEN CITY, Kan (KSNW) — There's a shift in retail business going on in Garden City. Some long-time businesses are closing their brick and mortar stores while new, less traditional businesses are opening.
After nearly four decades, RT Sporting Goods is closing its doors.
"We can't compete with the internet," said owner Steve Spellman, "and we're tired of trying quite frankly."
Spellman says he'll continue to sell sports equipment to schools but can no longer maintain a brick and mortar store.
Myca Bunch of Garden City Downtown Vision said RT Sporting Goods, and other retailers closing on Main Street, were instrumental in the city's growth.
"They've been staples of downtown for so many years," said Bunch, "and they've helped downtown Garden City transition from decade to decade."
They're leading one final transition. After about 20 years, The Bike Rack is also saying goodbye, but new businesses keep popping up.
One new business is a dog hotel, which will open in the next few weeks. The owner has been housing pets by appointment and is doing well even without an official launch.
"I can take five dogs right now, and I've been consistently full," said owner Mackenzie Nix. "So it's been good and fun."
Escape the Clock opened in December and has taken off quickly.
"The reception with the community has been phenomenal, well past what we were expecting," said Cecilia Runnion, Escape the Clock's general manager. "Just the excitement of unique entertainment here, I think there was definitely a need for that."
The owners of Roots are eager to open their juice bar and yoga studio this summer.
"I realized how much I was lacking that self-care here and really missing that yoga studio atmosphere," said Alicia Gian-Maciulis, a co-owner of Roots.
It's all part of a larger plan for garden. Roots received a $50,000 grant from the city through a program meant to help grow the downtown area.
"They're offering services that you can't find anywhere else," said Bunch about these unique businesses downtown, "and I think for a large part, people are looking for an experience downtown."
Bunch says development funds still remain for this year, and they can be used for new or existing businesses in the downtown area.

The Duty of a Trust in Disability Planning
One element of estate preparation involves disability preparation, which is producing a contingency strategy in case of incapacitation in later years. A living trust fund is one estate preparation device that can usually be put to good use within a special needs plan. A living depend on is a depend on developed throughout the lifetime of the grantor, the individual developing the depend on.

By Hal S. Scott
''In Capital Adequacy past Basel: Banking, Securities, and assurance, Hal Scott appears past the second one iteration of the Basel principles for banks to teach that banking principles don't healthy simply with the actions of securities or insurance companies, which have interaction in several actions and whose failure poses less threat to the economic climate. the lack of bank-based ideas to deal properly with varied job dangers is mirrored within the hassle in using Basel ideas to financial institution retaining businesses that interact in nonbanking task via non-bank subsidiaries.'' The booklet additionally addresses the Basel method of operational hazard, suggesting that operational danger is intensely tricky to spot and quantify. It questions why capital may be required for low-loss, high-frequency occasions, that are handled via reserves or provisions, or high-loss, low-frequency occasions which are handled by way of assurance. the most threat for which banks, and different corporations, carry the main capital is enterprise danger, and Basel calls for no capital for this.

In contrast to banks and securities firms, the main risk to insurance companies springs from the liability side of the balance sheet, rather than from the asset side. The fundamental risk facing insurance companies is ''underwriting risk,'' the risk that they will be unable to pay their contractual obligations to policyholders. 6 But the adequacy of technical provisions depends not only on estimates of payouts under insurance contracts and costs of dealing with claims but also on the returns on invested premiums, and so insurance companies are also subject to position risk (although the term is not generally used in the insurance industry).
In 36 Capital Adequacy Beyond Basel that sense, the SEC haircuts combine credit and liquidity risk with market risk. Final net (regulatory) capital for the firm is the sum of assets, adjusted for haircuts, less the liabilities: P C SEC =Að1 À hÞÀ L A i hi where h= A , a weighted average of the haircuts, hi, for asset categories, Ai. A summary of haircuts is given in Ball and Stoll (1998). Rule 15c3-1 applies a punitive haircut of 100% to swaps and OTC derivatives. S. 45 Recently, the SEC has experimented with Basel-style internal models regulation for affiliates that deal in OTC derivatives.
Moreover, because the positions of a securities firm are mainly marketable instruments, the authorities would Capital Regulation for Position Risk 25 expect to be able to achieve a prompt and orderly liquidation in which customer accounts could be transferred to another firm in the event of financial distress if a merger with a stronger firm was not possible. Since the primary objective of capital regulation is the protection of customers of the securities firm, the regulatory authorities are willing to count as regulatory capital a wide range of instruments that are subordinate to the claims of customers.

Recently, there is a movement, which is generally referred as "Anti-Western-Media movement". Generally, it is a group of Chinese students who think western media reported something about Tibet incorrectly. So they published some evidence online to say no to "western media".
Their general ideas are:
- The western "freedom of speech" along with freedom and democracy are lies.
- The western media like to make China black.
- We don't like the west world.
- Are all western media's reports incorrect? I just think the banner is too large. Some western media also adopted the opposite opinion, right?
- I think the incorrect report has nothing to do with democracy or freedom. Now no western reporters are allowed to enter Tibet. But they have to make reports to attract audiences. So they may use unreliable information source. It's just a business behavior. No relationship with democracy or freedom.
- Where do you put your videos, photos and PDF docs to say NO to "western media"? I think they are on "western" sites, right? For example, we can watch videos from both sides on YouTube. Well, in a place you hear two opposite voices and they all can express them freely. Isn't it just the freedom of speech?
- Some evidence they listed are not solid. For example, they referred many website snapshots. Well, why don't you just put the links to those webpages? Anyway, I just can't find the Fox News webpage. Other evidences (in English) have nothing to do with "incorrect reporting". The Chinese notes to those snapshots are inconsistent with original English texts.
- The west world is not good and they harmed you coz they harmed your country. Then why are you still living in west world and even wanna be a citizen of west world?

Improving the search engine rank of an e-commerce website is tough. And it doesn't help when you're unsure of your current strategy. Is sourcing website content from someone else's store even ethical? How about paying a publication to mention your store's URL in their magazine? Below, we'll walk you through the steps required to improve your brand positioning and rank higher than others competing for the same items.
The best part? All of these recommendations are ethical and risk-free to implement. You won't be receiving messages from Google saying your website is penalized, or email messages from an angry store owner bashing you for stealing his/her site content.
Let's dive in:
- Optimize Product Descriptions
Great product descriptions can help your product pages rank well in search engines for relevant searches. The ideal product description highlights the advantages of owning the product, not just explain its features. Hence, don't just copy and paste a supplier/dropshipping company's product description. Instead, write a custom one that is interesting to read and allows the customer to imagine what it'd be like to use the product in real life. Additionally, use SEO practices to find the relevant keywords to use in your product descriptions.
What is SEO? Short for search engine optimization, SEO is the strategy used to increase the visibility of a website in search engines. Keywords play an essential role in SEO campaigns as they tell search engines what phrases a site wants to rank for. For e-commerce, long-tail keywords comprise the majority of total search volume. Long-tail keywords are longer phrases that audiences will search for, such as "brown color iPhone 4". These are much more descriptive than short-tail keywords (iPhone 4, for instance) and therefore improve your chances of appearing in search engines as part of a result for related queries.
- Use "Alt Tags" for Images
If you aim to gain organic search visits, then traditional text content isn't the only available option at your disposal. Visual content through images can produce a different route for potential visitors. Despite the opportunity, many e-commerce websites fail to optimize product images properly. When a store owner uploads an image, search engines don't know what it entails. Because of this, it is crucial to inform search engines about what is inside the image by using ALT tags.
An ALT tag is a description that's connected to a product listing. That way, if someone searches a relevant visual on Google using relevant keywords, your site will appear. Alt tag can also include the main keyword, along with the description of what the image is about. You'll come across the ALT tag option in Squarespace, WordPress, Shopify and many other content management systems.
- Consider Brand Mentions
Mentions are used by search engines to figure out how much the community values your e-commerce store. It's an off-site optimization strategy that relies on igniting word-out-mouth campaigns and establishing your site's credibility.
To get others to mention your store, search out to influencers and subject matter experts for interviews to generate both content and links. If you are already cited in places but haven't received a link, use mention.com to find the sites, and then send an email requesting them to link to your website in the mention.
Over to You
Now that you understand the basics of how you can improve your search engine rank using SEO, image optimization and mentions, you can start making changes to dethrone your competitors in search results.

Did you figure out which "little tyke" was me in the pix in my last post?
Hint: I was tall, so I stood in both pics and I'm NOT in the top row!
We've come to the end of Childhood Obesity Awareness Month -- and I hope this is the last year we ever have to "celebrate" this holiday.
Teaching kids at an early age how to eat right and keep moving is especially important because of a new study -- and a horrible statistic.
It predicts the percentage of the US population that will be obese by 2030. Can you guess what percentage that is?
a. 10%
b. 25%
c. 50%
The answer is c! If current trends continue, HALF the US population will be obese (not just overweight, but obese) by 2030! That's 164 million Americans! And that's just 19 years away!
"How do I know if I'm obese, overweight, or just fluffy?"
Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have an adverse effect on health, leading to reduced life expectancy, and/or increased health problems.
A great way to determine whether you are considered "normal" weight, "over" weight, or obese is to determine your Body Mass Index (BMI).
In general, if more than 30% of your body weight comes from fat, you are considered obese.
Since "you are what you eat," I highly suggest that the total calories you consume have less than 30% of them coming from fat! Simply read your labels...
First look for the number of calories. Right next to (or under) it are "calories from fat." You want the "calories from fat" to be 30% or less of the "calories."
So if that slice of American cheese you're about to put on your sandwich has 90 calories, and 80 "calories from fat," that means 90% of those calories are from fat (80 divided by 90).
Startling statistics
Here are more startling statistics from the study:
- 32% of men and 35% of women are now obese in the U.S.
- Obesity raises the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, various cancers, hypertension, and high cholesterol, among others.
- In the next 2 decades, obesity will add 7.8 million cases of diabetes, 6.8 million cases of heart disease and stroke, and 539,000 cases of cancer in the U.S. alone.
- Among the world's leading economies, obesity is most widespread in the US and the UK.
- Obesity is fast replacing tobacco as the single most important preventable cause of chronic non-communicable diseases.

Crosslink, US
Keywords: conductivity, polymer, supercapacitor
Metallic conductive PAC 1003, an inherently conductive polymer product of Crosslink, has been developed to have remarkably high electrical conductivity of >1000 S/cm which can be applied to advanced polymer supercapacitor designs. The metallic conductivity of the polymer allows supercapacitors with low equivalent resistance and high capacitance, involving efficient redox electrochemical activity. The use of n-dopable polymers can enhance the function of the supercapacitor, for which higher energy and power densities can be achieved. In parallel efforts, outstanding device structures with strategic technical features comprising nano-structured interfacial layers, leakage free and bipolar device designs have proven to be promising for competitive device performance.

In Scarfies, five Dunedin students find themselves in a free squat, and a dark place, after taking a criminal captive in their basement. The debut feature from Rob Sarkies starts as a comic tribute to Otago student days, then turns into a psychological thriller. Outside of the two Warriors movies, Scarfies was the most successful Kiwi release of the 90s on home turf. It went on to scoop best film, director and screenplay awards at the 2000 NZ Film and TV Awards. This excerpt sees the scarfies torn between dealing with the crim and a footy match at Carisbrook.
"So the Queen comes to New Zealand. 12,000 miles from the motherland she is not among strangers. She has come to her New Zealand home." When the Queen and Prince Philip began the first tour of NZ by a reigning monarch (soon after her coronation), a National Film Unit crew followed the journey, before condensing 40 days and 46 stops into a mere 25 minutes. Along the way the newly crowned Queen wears her coronation gown to open Parliament, and witnesses geysers, long-jumpers, Māori canoes, plus masses of enthused Dunedinites refusing to keep behind the barrier.
This National Film Unit documentary follows the British Lions 1959 rugby tour to New Zealand. Prior to live televised sports coverage, match highlights were rushed onto cinema screens; NFU tour coverage was later edited into this feature length doco. On the field the series was won by the All Blacks 3-1, including the first test where Don Clarke famously kicked six penalties to beat the Lions' four tries. Off the field, the Lions visited farms and resorts, drove trout and tried Māori song and dance with guide Rangi. A star back for the Lions was Peter Jackson.
Surveying All Blacks rugby from 1905 until 1967, this wide-ranging documentary is framed around the NZ Rugby Football Union's 75th jubilee celebrations. The archival gold mine includes matches from the 1905 Originals and 1924 Invincibles tours, and clashes with Springboks, British Lions, Wallabies and French rivals. There's also footage of NZ schoolboy and NZ Māori clashes, and a jubilee match with Australia. Funded by Caltex NZ, the documentary was made by legendary Pacific Films co-founder John O'Shea. Press on the backgrounds tab for a list — in order — of all the matches.
John McBeth's commentating career began after injuries put paid to his senior rugby playing days. He became Radio New Zealand's lead rugby commentator in 1985 and took that position at TVNZ in 1992. With his trademark sense of humour never far away, he has covered Olympic and Commonwealth Games and America's Cup yachting along with many other sports.

Stable derivatives of stannabenzeneEdit
Stable derivatives of stannabenzene have been isolated. The 2-stannanaphthalene depicted below is stable in an inert atmosphere at temperatures below 140 °C.[2] The tin to carbon bond in this compound is shielded from potential reactants by two very bulky groups, one tert-butyl group and the even larger 2,4,6-tris[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl or Tbt group. The two Sn-C bonds have bond lengths of 202.9 and 208.1 pm which are shorter than those for Sn-C single bonds (214 pm) and comparable to that of known Sn=C double bonds (201.6 pm). The C-C bonds show little variation with bond lengths between 135.6 and 144.3 pm signaling that this compound is aromatic.
Tbt-substituted 9-stannaphenanthrene was reported in 2005.[3] At room temperature it forms the [4+2] cycloadduct.
Tbt-substituted stannabenzene was reported in 2010.[4] At room-temperature it quantitatively forms the DA dimer.

BACKGROUND: Articular manifestations are common in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) whereas erosive disease is not. Antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) are citrulline-dependent in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), whereas the opposite is suggested in SLE, as reactivity with cyclic arginine peptide (CAP) is typically present. Antibodies targeting carbamylated proteins (anti-CarP) may occur in anti-CCP/rheumatoid factor (RF)-negative cases long before clinical onset of RA. We analysed these antibody specificities in sera from European patients with SLE in relation to phenotypes, smoking habits and imaging data.
METHODS: Cases of SLE (n = 441) from Linköping, Sweden, and Leiden, the Netherlands, were classified according to American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and/or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) criteria. IgG anti-CCP, anti-CAP and anti-CarP were analysed by immunoassays. Radiographic data from 102 Swedish patients were available.
RESULTS: There were 16 Linköping (6.8%) and 11 Leiden patients (5.4%) who were anti-CCP-positive, of whom approximately one third were citrulline-dependent: 40/441 (9.1%) were anti-CarP-positive, and 33% of the anti-CarP-positive patients were identified as anti-CCP-positive. No associations were found comparing anti-CCP or anti-CarP with ACR-defined phenotypes, immunologic abnormalities or smoking habits. Radiographically confirmed erosions were found in 10 patients, and were significantly associated with anti-CCP, anti-CarP and RF. Musculoskeletal ultrasonography scores were higher in anti-CCP-positive compared to anti-CCP-negative patients.
CONCLUSIONS: In the hitherto largest anti-CarP study in SLE, we demonstrate that anti-CarP is more prevalent than anti-CCP and that the overlap is limited. We obtained some evidence that both autoantibodies seem to be associated with erosivity. Similar pathogenetic mechanisms to those seen in RA may be relevant in a subgroup of SLE cases with a phenotype dominated by arthritis.

The introduction of novel therapeutic strategies set new goals for the patients' outcome, which aims to achieve remission. This goal requires early diagnosis of RA and prompt efficient pharmacotherapy. The introduction of anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) two decades ago allowed an earlier RA diagnosis. However, there are indications that ACPA positivity is still associated with higher rates of radiographic damage. As the small joints in hands and feet commonly are the first involved sites of inflammation, the role of different imaging modalities were studied regarding their diagnostic and prognostic impact for assessment of arthritis in RA. Further, ultrasound (US) and radiography were used to study the association between RA-specific antibodies and the occurrence of arthritis and joint damage in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
The use of US allows assessment of soft tissue like joint capsules, tendons and bursae. Used for a live scanning, it is easy to detect effusions and edema. Doppler indicates vasoproliferation were inflammation is present. Also, US seems to be more sensitive than radiography to detect minimal structural changes located at bone surfaces. We wanted to investigate whether US findings in a pre-RA stage can predict development of arthritis.
Digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) is a technique based on computerized analyses of standard hand radiographs to calculate peripheral bone mineral density (BMD) of the three middle metacarpal bones (DXR-BMD). In order for early treatment decisions, we aimed to study whether changes in DXR-BMD loss after 3 months can predict radiographic damage in early RA.
In conclusion, the studies showed that ACPA-positivity is still associated with a higher risk of radiographic damage regardless of early treatment decisions. Therefore, close radiographic monitoring and readiness to intensive treatment is warranted in ACPA-positive patients. This thesis also shows that erosions detected by US in ACPA-positive patients with arthralgia predict development of clinical arthritis. Also, the magnitude of DXR-BMD loss helps identify patients at higher risk for future radiographic damage, and may therefore help to improve early treatment decisions. Finally, US and radiography confirm a higher rate of arthritis and erosions also in SLE patients who are positive for RA-specific antibodies.

Regular exercise is beneficial to our physical health but is also of significant benefit to our mental-emotional well-being. Twenty percent of Canadians will personally experience a mental health issue in their lifetime. When we talk about mental-emotional health issues in general many of us don't consider feeling overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or depressed as mental-emotional issues. We are fast to downplay such conditions as being part of life but this is equivalent to ignoring a sinus infection, the flu, chest pain or running a fever. Most of us have learnt appropriate treatments or strategies to deal with basic physical health issues and have a reasonable awareness of our physical health status. We tend to more easily ignore our mental-emotional health….until we experience a mental-emotional crisis. Even in mental health, prevention is better than cure. It is equally critical to invest in your physical and your mental-emotional health. The good news is that there are ways to look after both concurrently:
- Getting sufficient, good quality sleep
- Knowing your limits (physically in term of weights you lift: knowing when to take breaks: gradually becoming more active and inactivity while mentally-emotionally it is about knowing and avoiding sources of stress, being strategic about the business of your schedule: finding work-play balance)
- Eating well, supports your physical systems as well as your brain function
By exercising for any length of time and with any form of movement, you will likely feel better, think more clearly, and improve your mood and outlook on life around you.
According to the Canadian Society for Exercise, to achieve health benefits, adults aged 18-64 years should:
- Accumulate at least 150 minutes of moderate- to vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity per week, in bouts of 10 minutes or more.
- It is also beneficial to add muscle and bone strengthening activities using major muscle groups, at least 2 days per week.
Invest in your total health: mentally, physically, emotionally.

So, maybe you've been trying your hand at this writing thing, this writing gig, this being a writer on your way to becoming a published author. You've heard about NaNoWriMo and writing 50,000 in a month, which is maybe a novel, but at least a good start on one. Perhaps you've done it before? Could be you've published some short stories or even have some books for sale.
Regardless, unless you're a household name you'll eventually run into a situation where you put your writing first. You're asked why you can't do this or go there or take the time for some other thing, you respond, and you hear, "Oh, that."
Two words. Regardless of intent, what will often reach your brain is far different than that stressed word…
• "You're just playing around and will never be a real writer."
• "If you want to make extra money why don't you go out and get a real job?"
• "If you had any real talent you'd be published by now and living well."
• "What's taking you so long?"
• "Writing? Everyone can do that. You've heard of email, haven't you?"
• "What a boring way to spend your time. Don't you want to get out and have fun?"
• "It's sad that you're deluding yourself. Just saying."
More empathy would be nice, of course, but really they don't understand—because they can't understand. It's as simple as that.
Until you've worked on a novel and fully grasped the effort required you can't grasp the satisfaction that comes with completing it, and completing it requires far more than just writing. Research. World building. Plot. Beats. Voice. Characters. Tension and conflict (not always the same). Backstory. Maybe magic systems, maps, and so much more.
A novel isn't visual art the uninitiated can absorb in seconds, nor is it music you can hear in minutes. A novel might be 100,000 words on your laptop and require hours to read. It's that thing you do.
Thus, we writers can struggle to find empathy—and still I wouldn't trade writing for the world.
To summon experiences, places, and people out of my mind; to draw maps, world build, and construct magic systems out of nothing; to invent histories, customs, and even languages … how could I trade any of it?
How could I not cherish the many extraordinary moments in the life of my protagonist, Ergain Cursa or any of the quirky or mysterious characters who float through her orbit?
Gryphons. Cirque Cats. Gargoyles. Wizards. Sorcerers. Airships. Reaper Storms. Seers. Neanders. Hobs. Ora'ean. The list goes on and on. There's an entire glossary. That's Ontyre. That's my world. I'm having fun there.
It's fun because it's home to me, and the best part is I never really have to leave it because it's the world inside my mind. I've come too far to ever want to turn back, book sales or no book sales.
While I started writing long before my first NaNo, it was NaNo that stoked the fire. Next month will be my fourth. More important, I've learned, practiced, and expanded my writing possibilities because I participated.
If you think writing might be for you then give it a go. Go down that road. Go to that place so few know. Discover the priceless joy of creativity.
I won't lie, though, it's a lot of work, but the only fail is not trying.

When entering a foreign licensing agreement, you need to protect yourself as much as possible. They are a great way to expand the market for your intellectual property and to profit from your creation. By partnering with foreign companies who already have a business network in place, all you have to do is give your permission to market your product and then wait for the royalties to start flowing to you. Choose your business partners wisely, negotiate for important terms in the contract, and monitor the progress of the marketing and use of your product.
What is Foreign Licensing?
When you have created a product or have the exclusive right to a product, trademark, patent, or copyright, you have the right to grant another person or company in another geographical location, to sell, market, or produce your property. In return, you, the property owner, get royalties or other forms of compensation.
Protecting Yourself
Simply put, your goal is to maximize profits and minimize risk. How does this happens when your agreement is with a foreign party? If you contract with a company in Singapore to market your product but it fails to do so, goes bankrupt, or even harms your interests, if you weren't careful in negotiating the deal, that agreement may not be worth the paper it's written on. You may have to sue them in a foreign court, and even assuming you have the resources to do that, you still may not be able to collect what's owed to you.
Only License to Reputable Companies
Always verify the competency of the company with whom you're licensing. Because you likely don't know the company or people personally, you will want to get references and their history with licensing similar products.
Any licensing company should be willing to provide you with a list of clients and possibly even contact information. Get the client's unadulterated opinion about the company and its timeliness, accounting practices, and service.
If a company is relatively new to the field, investigate who's in charge and what kind of business connections they have. If the company is led by a former high ranking executive of another licensing company, it may suggest that the new company is well funded and knows what it's doing. Contact the U.S. Copyright Office if you have lingering questions.
Insist on Certain Terms in the Contract
Once you've determined that a company is reputable, you can move on the negotiating terms for the actual licensing agreement. In addition to general contract terms, you will want to include terms important to agreements with foreign companies. These terms include:
Next Steps
If you are currently negotiating with foreign business partners about a licensing agreement, or are considering doing so, speak to an experienced attorney today. A business and commercial lawyer who specializes in foreign licensing matters can help you negotiate the best possible contract for your situation.
Contact a qualified business attorney to help you identify how to best protect your business' intellectual property.

I just don't get it. Here is some video from what appears to me to be the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The AP description says this:
"Israeli police rushed into one of Christianity's holiest churches Sunday and arrested two clergyman after an argument between monks erupted into a brawl next to the site of Jesus' tomb."

Case Studies
News & Webinars
China Today & Tomorrow (Part 1 of 3)
As we look to China, the old adage of "if you do not like the weather wait 5 minutes and it will change", seems to apply as we continue to monitor China and follow its most recent announcements.
This will be the 1st of a 3 Part Series in which we analyze the current economic environment in China and provide examples of how successful Western companies are changing their China Business Strategies to ensure long-term growth. For the next 3 months, we will provide Case Studies and analysis which may be of assistance as you continue to update and adjust your strategic plans to China's "New Normal" economic growth of 7-8%.
As we discussed in our March 2014 Newsletter, China's economic slow-down after approximately 20 years of double-digit growth is driven by several factors (slowing of global economy, rising labor cost, strengthening of the RMB) etc. These factors have had the effect of increasing production costs and putting downward pressure on both exports and domestic margins.
Over the last 5 to 8 years, demographic trends have pushed up wages faster than productivity gains, forcing local managers to increase efficiency to regain these productivity gains. As evidence of this change, China's Premier Li Keqiang suggested on Thursday, April 10th that a "7.5 % GDP goal may be missed as exports take an unexpected fall".
Given this "New Normal", Western companies are reevaluating their China Business Strategies and Execution practices, including their Cost Structures, Manufacturing and Production Footprint, Product Design (Good Enough), Human Resource management, Component Supply & Procurement, Logistics Strategies, Distribution Models and Localized Product & Branding. As an example, many Western companies are implementing even more aggressive training and retention practices to ensure they retain their most competent managers, in order to combat high turnover rates and ever increasing wages and position to the company for the next 3-5 years in China.
Since China is becoming the largest global market for many industries, Western companies must ensure their long-term growth potential. However, Business Plans established 5 to 10 years ago may not be appropriate given this new challenging environment.
As examples of how Western companies are addressing the current challenges in China, please find two Case Studies which focus on Rationalization and Improvement as well as Restructuring.
Rationalization and Improvement of Manufacturing Operations for a US MNC with Multiple Subsidiaries in China
Restructuring of a Major Multinational Company's Manufacturing Subsidiary in China
These Case Studies will allow you to see how other companies continue to access their operations and then take action to continue to improve their operations and increase market share in China.
In mid-June, East West Associates will be conducting a webinar on Operational Assessment and Performance Improvement of China-based operations. Further details as to time and date will be provided in the next several weeks.

You just know this is one of those comments that is going to come back and haunt Treyarch for the life of COD5.
According to Noah Heller a senior producer over at Treyarch
"(COD5)feels much better than any Call of Duty I've had a chance to play"
Now we are presuming here but I think it is very safe to assume that he has played COD4 and obviously this then means he thinks COD5 feels better than COD4.
Unfortunately in my personal opinion he is wrong, COD5 may be as good as COD4 and the more I play it the more I enjoy it.. but it doesn't feel better. Actually it feels worse, it has more things in it which makes it compete on an even standing but the actual gameplay is missing that wow factor that COD4 has.
I do think though that they are very very close to having created a worthy successor to COD4 and can easily tweak the game after this Beta to beat COD4 but at this point in time I have to say that COD4 keeps it's crown.

PHILADELPHIA – J.T. Realmuto homered and drove in the tiebreaking run with an RBI double in the seventh inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 victory over the Cubs on Tuesday night.
The Phillies will have a familiar face in the dugout Wednesday when new hitting coach Charlie Manuel arrives. The franchise icon was hired to replace John Mallee as hitting coach earlier in the day.
He's got a lot of work to do to revive an underachieving offense that overcame 15 strikeouts for the win, but the pitching staff did the job against the NL Central leaders.
Jason Vargas allowed two runs and five hits in six innings. Blake Parker (2-2) and Mike Morin each tossed a hitless inning and Hector Neris finished for his 21st save in 25 tries. Neris retired Jason Heyward on a grounder to end the game with two runners on.
Cubs starter Jose Quintana had a career-best 14 strikeouts in six innings, allowing two runs – one earned – and five hits.
Pinch-hitter Andrew Knapp led off the bottom of the seventh with a single off Kyle Ryan (3-2) and scored from first when Realmuto hit a sharp grounder down the left-field line.
Roman Quinn's RBI triple with two outs in the eighth gave Philadelphia an insurance run.
Realmuto hit his 16th homer the opposite way to right to give the Phillies a 2-1 lead in the fifth.
Nicholas Castellanos led off the sixth with his 16th homer to left to tie it at 2-2.
Scott Kingery's sacrifice fly gave the Phillies a 1-0 lead in the third. Castellanos singled leading off the fourth and later scored on Javier Baez's sac fly.
Manuel, who was working as senior adviser to general manager Matt Klentak, will join the team exactly six years after managing his last game. Manuel led the Phillies to five NL East titles, two NL pennants and the 2008 World Series championship. His 780 wins as manager are the most in team history.
Trainer's room
Cubs: Right-hander Craig Kimbrel (right knee inflammation) threw a bullpen session. Righty Brandon Kintzler (right pectoral inflammation) also threw in the bullpen. Manager Joe Maddon said reports on both were positive.
Phillies: Left fielder Corey Dickerson left the game after he was hit in on the left hand by a pitch in the third inning.
Up next
Left-hander Cole Hamels (6-3, 3.09 ERA) makes his first start against the Phillies in Philadelphia on Wednesday. Righty Aaron Nola (10-3, 3.67) pitches for the Phillies. Hamels, the 2008 NLCS and World Series MVP, was traded from Philadelphia to Texas in July 2015.
