VIDEO: Bugatti Chiron's quad-turbo W16 exhaust soundby Garage Mike March 3, 2016
Speed, obviously, is a top priority of Bugatti's Chiron.
Bugatti wants the Chiron to set the 'next speed record', as it told Evo at the Geneva Motor Show, and completely revamped the Veyron's special W16 engine to do so.
As the world's ultimate hypercar, though, you'd want the hardware to sound good as the AU$3.65m Bugatti wants for it.
While it's yet to hit roads until later this year, the Chiron's enthusiastic handlers at the Geneva Motor Show have shown us what the big bug will sound like, starting the car and giving its right pedal a good prod for camera.
With 8.0-liters of capacity, the new Chiron's engine will swallow 60,000 litres of air per minute. Four turbochargers will compress the stuff, before pouring it all in to 16 cylinders. The result is 1193KW/1600Nm.
Does the engine sound as good those numbers? Have listen and let us know.
(Tip: turn up your headphones at 0:35.)

Qualities Of A Good Laptop
A laptop is a computer device that can easily be carried by hand. The name laptop is used to describe this type of computers since they are normally placed on an individual's lap. In past years, computers were heavy and bulky and had very large motherboards. This made them only fit for use in permanent locations. However with the advent of the computer age, smaller and faster motherboards have been developed. It is these minute computer chips that have allowed laptops to be developed.
Choosing the right laptop for one's use might be a very challenging exercise. However, knowing the right attributes to look for proves to be an added advantage on an individual's part. For status, a good laptop is one with very fast processor speed. Since people normally want to get work done fast, it is important that one finds a laptop that can handle heavy workload in a matter of seconds. Therefore, high processor speed is always a priority.
In addition, internal storage is a must. In this digital age, it is essential that smaller computers with high storage space be developed. Therefore, an outstanding
gaming laptop under 300
is one that has a large storage space that will allow many large documents be saved at any given time. Also, great laptops have fairly large random access memory space, commonly denoted as RAM. The random access memory works hand in hand with the processor. This therefore means that a laptop with a large random access memory is faster than one with a smaller one.
Computer graphics are another aspect that cannot be overlooked when it comes to laptops. Since laptops are not only meant for office work but also entertainment purposes, it is very important that they are manufactured in such a way that they can support huge games without necessarily hanging. Also, their display should be visual friendly so as to accommodate all manner of users.
Another quality that good laptops possess is that they contain support accessories. These include wireless network capabilities, webcams and bluetooth.
Since these are very essential tools at this age and time, it should be a pre-requisite to have them included in a laptop computer.
Finally, Size matters when it comes to laptops. A laptop should neither be large or small. Good laptops at
have all the above components but still sell at fairly low prices. Hence, without any of the above qualities, a laptop no longer qualifies to be classified among the great.

There are things that we sometimes forget when we play golf. It is not the equipment, but it has something to do with ourselves. Or, perhaps a pet peeve that continuously bothers us when we play golf. Even professionals had their share of blunders while playing golf. These things may seem unimportant, but they affect one's performance.
We have listed some of the common, but often forgotten little things, that can affect your golf performance.
Size matters
Aside from looking unpolished, your ill-fitting clothes and shoes can make you feel uncomfortable and unconfident. Your clothes and shoes have an effect on your performance. Imagine tugging at your clothes all the time whenever you are about to make a swing. Or your feet, screaming for justice because they've had enough of your tight shoes? It is a big hassle! From the time you shop, pick the right size of clothes and shoes so that it will be the least of your concern on the turf.
Remember your sunscreen
It is not vanity. Sunscreen protects your skin from the dangerous UV rays from the sun. Apply sunscreen before the game and a little bit more if you have been under the sun for more than an hour. You can also use lip balm to prevent chapped lips.
Eating way too much before you tee off
Yes, we understand that it is going to be a long and productive day on the greens. But that doesn't mean that it is your last meal. Eating too much food will make you feel bloated and even sleepy. This stuffiness will affect your performance in a negative way. So next time, eat smart, so you do not have to carry excess baggage when you play.
Being too attached to your phone
Resist. I repeat, resist. Just resist the temptation to touch your phone while you are playing. It is considered rude by some. It will also distract you from your game. You are on the golf course to play, not check your emails. If something critical and urgent comes up, your staff or your wife will surely call you. Focus on the game instead.
Ready but hesitant
You may have experienced this in one of your games. Either you are the one being too polite to confirm if it is your turn or you are the other team waiting for a turn. Remember, time is gold. While you are exchanging pleasantries and what not, there is someone behind you waiting. If you are ready, just go and hit that ball, please.
Shout Fore!
You had a perfect shot in your head. You hit the ball and off it went. Unfortunately, it seemed that the ball had a mind of its own and went the other way. Time to shout, "Fore!" Saying "Fore!" is not just about etiquette, but a rule of safety. As long as there is a possibility of hitting someone, just say it. You can also say "Fore right" or "Fore left" to let people know the direction where the ball is coming.
We hope that these gentle reminders would be helpful for your next golf game

I noticed this rotting tree stump along the Worth Way, once upon a time the Crawley to East Grinstead railway line, now a local track popular with dog walkers and cyclists.
Here I am at quite possibly the most famous rock in the world. This snap was taken during my four month solo backpacking adventure around Australia in 1991.
This scavenger hunt malarkey is proving hazardous to my waistline.
I spied this Swiss roll in the Co-op and having failed to come up with anything else for this prompt, shoved it in my basket.
Meet Simon, my current foster cat. Not only is he beautiful, he is also the sweetest natured moggy.... can you tell that I'm quite smitten with him? He's rather a big boy, in fact he was a massive 9.5kgs when he first came into care but with a restricted diet he's now down to 7.9 although there's still a way to go. He's getting more active by the day...and as you can see, has fully checked out all the facilities at his latest lodgings.
Thanks for bearing with me during this blogger's block.... I'm aiming to be back soon, meanwhile I'm off to look at other Scavenger participants, you can find them HERE.

Come hear Brian Croft speak at The Gospel Coalition Regional Event in Los Angeles, CA this next Tuesday, November 7. Details and Registration BELOW:
November 7, 2017 |8:30am – 1:00pm
Coordinator: Brian Colmery
Email: email@example.com
Every pastor struggles with demands for his time, and how to determine priorities in ministry. What determines these priorities? Where should a busy pastor look for wisdom in making decisions? And where can we learn to do these pivotal, practical pieces of shepherding like raising up leaders, visiting the sick, and caring for widows?
Join us for our Fall event to explore these issues with Brian Croft, founder of Practical Shepherding. We've worked to make this event free for members and non-members, and we hope you'll carve out time to be with us!
Welcome, Singing, and Refreshments
Message 1: The Pastor's Ministry
The pastor's life is full of demands on his time. It's easy to lose track of what's important and listen instead to what feels urgent. Brian will help us understand the most important elements of the pastor's ministry and give us tools to do them well in the midst of pastoral life.
Short break for refreshments
Message 2: Raising Up Elders & Leaders
Whether you are pastoring a small church or a large one, whether you just arrived at your church or you've been there for decades, raising up elders can be a challenge. In this message Brian will help us understand the priority of raising up leaders and show us how to make it a reality in our local churches.
Break for lunch

Instead of facing all kinds of hair problem it is better to take precautions as it is said prevention is better than cure. By taking small steps to prevent hair loss, you can increase the life of your hair and make them healthier and stronger. Being proactive is one of the steps you can take to make sure you don't suffer from hair loss.
Even if you ask a hair expert about how to grow hair faster and prevent hair loss, he will ask you to follow a balanced diet. A healthy diet holds many advantages for not just your body but your hair as well. If you are going through the hair loss problem, then take extra care of your diet. Eat foods that are high in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B, C, D, iron, zinc, etc. as these all help in regenerating the thinning strands. Ensure your diet includes plenty of leafy greens, fish, lean meats, beans and nuts.2. Be gentle to your hair
Always treat your hair gently. Avoid excessive rubbing to dry your hair faster after the hair wash. Instead, let your hair dry out naturally.3. Avoid highly polluted areas
Try not to live in an area that is highly polluted. Studies show that people who live in areas of high pollution tend to go through hair loss and other hair problems.4. Stay cool
Using products on hair that produces heat is one of the key hair fall reasons. Products like hot curlers, blow dryers, or hair straighteners produce a lot of heat that causes hair loss. Hence refrain from these products as much as you can.5. Avoid harsh chemical treatments.
If the ingredients list on the back of your product reads like the deep end of a college chemistry textbook, you probably shouldn't use it. Natural is better.6. De-stress
Stress aggravates the hair fall problem that is not only one of the primary *hair fall reasons* but also leads to many other hair issues as well. Therefore, do not be stressed and try remaining happy in all circumstances.7. Exercise
Exercise always helps in reducing the stress level. It increases the blood flow to your scalp that makes hair healthier.8. Get plenty of sleep
Sleep helps your body relax. It's the time when your body gets to rejuvenate itself which directly has a positive effect on your hair as well. Hence, do not miss on a good night sleep.9. Antioxidants Antioxidants not only boost hair growth but also prevent hair loss. Try including antioxidants in your diet on a daily basis such as Green tea.

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) has earmarked P2 billion to shoulder half of the cost for the construction of 4,500 classrooms destroyed by Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan), the Department of Education (DepEd) said on Monday.
The DepEd said during the signing of a memorandum of agreement, the PAGCOR allocated P2 billion for the construction of new classrooms in places that were hardest hit by "Yolanda" in Eastern Visayas.
"If we are to look at it, our budget for more than 4,500 classrooms that need replacement is around P4 billion. So, this is already around half of the needed budget for the replacement of those other classrooms," Education Secretary Armin Luistro said.
"Our target is to fast track the construction of classroom buildings before the opening of classes in June, at least the one-story buildings that need to be replaced are already in place for the coming school year," he added.
Luistro said that the classroom buildings that will be built in 2014 should be able to withstand a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and typhoons stronger than "Yolanda" or with wind velocity of 250 kilometers per hour.
"We are putting up structures where our students will be able to be in an ideal learning environment. It's not any ordinary building, it's about ensuring that these spaces will allow young people to flourish, learn in whatever school situation they find themselves," Luistro said.

FLOWERS, cards and personal tributes have been left outside a cattle mart where a teenager suffered fatal injuries after falling through the roof.
Kyle Hull, 15, was left with head injuries after a fall at Darlington Cattle Mart, in Clifton Road, Darlington, last Tuesday evening (April 7).
The teenager was being treated in hospital, where he was in a coma, and had his family by his bedside.
However his condition took a turn for the worse and he died on Sunday morning.
By Monday morning, more than a dozen bunches of flowers had been left outside the mart, as well as a T-shirt with "RIP Kyle" printed on it.
It was business as usual at the mart on Monday morning, but groups of teenagers continued to arrive in small groups, to pay their respects.
Friends described Kyle as a "sound lad" who was popular among his large social circle.
Market manager and head auctioneer Andrew Armstrong said police had asked him not to say too much at this stage, but added: "I feel for the boy's family and we will do whatever we can to help them at this sad time."
Durham Police had warned children about climbing onto the roof following the accident which occurred over the Easter break.
Posting on Facebook one family member said the teenager had been told about climbing roofs, but was not intent on causing criminal damage.
The tragedy comes after years of complaints from neighbours about security at the site, which can be accessed by climbing over a turnstile.
In 1992 11-year-old Jack Hunter suffered fatal injuries after he jumped from a chimney on the building and fell through a corrugated roof.
The former Carmel Comprehensive pupil's death led to calls for better security measures, although at the time bosses at the mart said they could not be held responsible for children playing there.
One local resident said: "This is a terrible tragedy, but unfortunately the mart has been used as a playground for years."
A social media page set up in Kyle's memory has been inundated with messages of sympathy.
One messaage said: "So sad. Can't believe I won't see you at school, God bless you [and] condolences to your family RIP Kyle."
Another added: "Can't believe this has happened; such a short life lived but lived to its best."
Kyle was a keen scooter rider who spent time at Darlington indoor skatepark which is operated by 4Motion.
It is understood plans for a fundraiser in his name are already afoot.
The company which runs the cattle mart, Darlington Farmers Auction Mart Limited, has previously secured planning permission to move the facility to a new location off the A1, but the project has yet to come to fruition.

Herndon apartments06.12.2016
During the early part of birmingham city centre apartments the green season, NovDec, the rains tend to arrive from the north-east, so there can be a considerable movement of wildlife in this direction, with Namutoni often becoming the most productive area.
For herndon apartments the remainder of the green season, JanMay, the wildlife can disperse widely and the foliage become much more dense, potentially making safari much more difficult. It is not unusual to see not herndon apartments a single elephant at this time. The vast majority of our guests are looking for high quality safari experiences, which means that we have to work extra hard in this busy Etosha area. Usually the best way to inject brentwood chase apartments quality into your visit is to base yourself in one or more of the better lodges in the point north apartments private reserves outside the southerly apartments for rent in baltimore county Andersson Gate or windrush apartments knoxville the easterly Lindequist Gate and raid into the main park as needed.
These visits tend to either take the form of 2 to 3 nights in herndon apartments the Andersson Gate the lakes apartments area, or 4 nights split between the two areas, driving through the main reserve in herndon between apartments.
Guests wanting an even more comprehensive safari experience may also choose to stay in the remote Etosha West area for a further 2 to 3 nights. If you are less concerned about traffic issues and simply want to throw yourself into the busy areas where the most intense wildlife viewing oak place apartments is to be found, which is most commonly the case for very keen photographers, then the Etosha Central herndon apartments may be worth considering.
At the other extreme, it may also be worth herndon apartments noting that many of our more experienced guests skip Etosha completely, preferring to concentrate on the extraordinary desert areas for which the country is best herndon apartments known.
Those visitors who do include herndon apartments a more carefully planned Etosha visit tend to most commonly combine it with time in the remote Namibia Northwest region, as well as more popular locations such as Twyfelfontein and Sossusvlei.
Add Etosha to your wishlistWe stayed here on an Oregon duck game day.
We herndon apartments showed up at 3:30 and were told our room was not ready.
we mistakenly assumed that we would be checked in a short while after 4pm.
They have a sign hanging by the front desk that says check in is NOT guaranteed on Oregon duck football game days!
4pm came and went and no one called us to say our room was ready and it was 4:45 by then. We ended up being late to the game waiting for a check in that never happened!
We rode the shuttle to the game (not the hotel shuttle they won'tcan't take you) We ended up leaving our baggage in herndon apartments with hayes house apartments the bell staffs overcrowded with other luggage dirty closet northwood place apartments and hopping on a shuttle to the game. Without being able to relax and change our herndon apartments clothes from our long trip to Eugene.
When we came back from the game it was late almost 9 pm. We had already checked in earlier on so we just needed our keys and a room number. We waited in line for the front desk only to be pointed to a table with a woman who looked as though she was exhausted and wearing her pajamas or work out clothes and a trucker hat on! She asked us for our identification but she looked like a random person with not so much as a name tag or welcome greeting when herndon apartments we approached the table! What kind of show are they running for 230$ a night!
You would think there would be some organization and professionalism but you would be wrong!
We reserved a two queen bed room at was supposed to face the pool.

Alley All New Festival: Cleo
As part of the inaugural Alley All New Festival, which will feature a combination of readings and workshop performances of six new plays, Alley Theatre will present Cleo by the Pulitzer Prize-winning, Texas-based author Lawrence Wright, directed by Bob Balaban. The reading will be followed by an in-depth conversation with Wright and Balaban lead by Artistic Director Gregory Boyd.
Set during the filming of the disastrous 1963 movie Cleopatra, Cleo is the story of the scandalous romance of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Their relationship brought condemnation from the Vatican and the US Congress, and it opened the age of paparazzi and tabloid celebrity, ensuring that the names Burton and Taylor would always be associated with the greatest sex scandal in ancient history, that of Antony and Cleopatra.

Today, I decided I wanted to make something
different, you know, every family whether consciencely or not, has a favorite dish and…well tends to stick to that ONE dish most days. In our family, that one dish happens to be Rice && Beans.
I remember when I was little and mom wanted to make pasta, or soup or something else for lunch. I didn't like those days. And I remember being little, and mom asking Dad && I wanted for lunch and I'd answer in all my six-year old truthfullness, 'I want real food today.'
She'd smile, 'Ok, what's real food then? "Arroz && Feijao" I'd answer eager to make sure my mother knew the definition of 'REAL' Food!
Today, though, it's different, today I wanted to make pasta. So I did. I made Salad, Dressing, Pasta & Herbs, Roux Sauce, Hummus & Pita Bread, Stir-fried Veggies with Honey Garlic sauce. And so we ate. But not as much as we usually do. And then Victor said it. Said what we all were thinking.
'I want real food.' I know what we'll have for lunch tomorrow. Rice & Beans. – Real Meal.

"A burial ground containing the graves of several hundred dogs, both adults and puppies, was uncovered by an American-led archaeological team excavating the so-called Upper City of the ancient tell of Ashkelon, situated on a seafront bluff 30 miles south of Tel Aviv.
Judging from the intact skeletons that were unearthed, the dogs are all the same breed – what today would be called either a greyhound or a whippet. Each dog was buried with great care, placed on its side in an individual grave, with its tail wound around its hindquarter and the tip pointing down."

I am what you would call a local. Born and raised in Kingsport, TN, graduated from Dobyns Bennett High School in 1979, and then graduated from Catawba College in Salisbury, NC in 1984 with a BA in Business Administration.
The reason for locating in the downtown area of Kingsport was to help to rejuvinate the area. The small business owner is the backbone of the US economy, I truly believe that. I also believe in the saying "be loyal, buy local", so the money goes back into the community that supports your business. Many of the large chains, the money goes to NY or TX and is not recirculated back into the community.
I will treat everyone, no matter who they are, with the dignity and respect that every human deserves. I was raised that way and that is just the way I am. I will do my very best to give you the best vision and the best pair of glasses that is available in the budget that you have. Come downtown and see what you are missing!
Come in and give us a try, you wont be disappointed.
Please stop by again. Thank you for your interest!

About Braden
Mixed Materials Building Blocks
Default Title -
My work as an artist is informed by the three years I spent working in a Waldorf elementary school. There, I developed an understanding of how a tactile educational experience can foster a child's sense of agency and empowerment within their physical surroundings. Students learn through building, cooking, knitting and woodworking. They leave elementary school with an understanding that the world is made up of myriad materials that they can manipulate and shape. When building a sculpture, I draw upon my own embodied knowledge of craft and construction. I choose materials based on their ability to hold a shape (or not), and for their particular lightness or weight.
I want to create a set of building blocks that give children the opportunity to use these types of contrasting material properties in their constructions. The shapes will draw from both the built environment and nature. Some will be solid, some will be open or hollow, and some will be flexible. Their weights will vary according to the density of each material. Each piece will measure 3 to 8 inches in any dimension.
Possible shape/material combinations include:
Irregularly faceted, rock-shaped ceramic blocks
Open-ended steel cylinders
Flexible foam strips
Thin wooden planks
Teardrop-shaped, leaf-like fabric pieces
Each set will consist of approximately twelve pieces, and will be contained in a cardboard storage box.
Time in residence will be spent developing a set of blocks that feels cohesive and complete as a building set, while considering manufacturing constraints. I will draw on my own experience as an art educator, Waldorf classroom assistant, and ceramics manufacturer at Atelier Dion. I look forward to the guidance and connections available through the Workshop Residence. Please refer to the attached images for reference to my material investigations within my studio practice.

Can The Flash-Based ioDrive Redefine Storage Performance?
Page 1:Can Fusion-io Trigger A Meltdown For Hard Drive Makers?
Page 2:Fusion-io ioDrive Details
Page 3:Thoughts, Reliability, First Results
Page 4: Test Setup, Access Time
Page 5:Throughput, Interface Bandwidth
Page 6:Fileserver, Workstation Performance
Page 7:Web Server, Database Performance
Page 8:Throughput After I/O
Page 9:Conclusion
Throughput, Interface Bandwidth
The interface bandwidth benchmark returns the maximum throughput we measured on our storage benchmark tool h2benchw 3.6, which is based on 128 sector read/write operations. It is possible to achieve higher throughput at a fixed 512 KB block size, though, which will get you to the level that was stated by Fusion-io.
Sequential read throughput again is based on h2benchw. It is impressive to see that Samsung's 64 GB flash SSD maxes out at 92 MB/s, while Mtron's Pro 7500 reaches 117 MB/s. The RAID 0 setup using two Samsung drives reaches twice the bandwidth at up to 186 MB/s. However, the ioDrive is still three times faster, reaching up to 576 MB/s. There is only a 40 MB/s throughput difference between the maximum capacity (80 GB), improved write performance (40 GB) and maximum write performance modes (27 GB).
Write performance is considerably slower, but the ioDrive still does excellently.

In the event that you are looking forward to volunteer abroad, chances are best that you will have to be really specific and prepared in both physical and mental aspects. This really is not an easy task to accomplish but could be the most rewarding if taken accordingly.
Be sure you will want to check and look into the very specifics we have along in order for you to be specific about the things you need to consider to tackle this respectively. Prior you are to make your final decision, it is imperative that you will have to do adequate research about the organization first. See to it that the organization is as per your beliefs, values, and that this benefits you in a way as per your future goals is concerned.
Make sure you will also opt to look into the right things and that you should measure your overall chances of success as a volunteer through the Thailand volunteer programs. Know more about the ins and outs of the organization and see how many volunteers they have sent abroad and how well they are doing at the moment. It is just important that you are well aware on what you are about to face prior boarding on a plane to be prepared.
Keep in mind that volunteering abroad is not something you could do easily without learning the language. It is imperative, although not a necessity, that you will have to learn the language of the place where you will volunteer. It may not be required of you to be fluent about such matter but having the very idea and knowledge on the basics should suffice and should aid you in getting everyday things made and done. Visit this website at http://www.thefreedictionary.com/internship and know more about internship.
Aside form the language, it also is very important that you will have to learn the culture take some time and do research about the place. It might be that you have concerns and whatnot but nonetheless, this should save you from having to stress yourself about discovering and learning how to live your daily lives and learn the culture at the same time. Be specific about both cultural and religious beliefs just so you will avoid the right things.
When volunteering abroad, it is imperative that you will have to be really specific about keeping an open mind. Thing is that this really is just not for everyone and quite a number of volunteers in india have had problems with regretting going abroad since it is not as per their very expectations. Keeping an open mind assures that you will be able to do tasks accordingly and that you will expand your overall understanding as a whole, regardless the culture or the place you have chosen to volunteer.
Keep in mind that safety should always be a priority nonetheless and it is just important that you will have to be specific and well aware about the local medical system. It is just important that you will have to know how the medical system works before boarding on a plane. Be as specific as you could and make sure you are well aware on how the process goes as long as drug prescription is concerned as well as what process should you go through when your glasses break or if your contact lenses need replacing. Furthermore, make sure you will have a travel medical insurance when you are travel outside of the county to ensure that any medical expenses will be covered when you get ill and whatnot.

After Eddie Murphy's fiance, Paige Butcher, gave birth to a baby boy, Murphy has become a father for the 10th time.
Issuing a statement through a publicist, it was clear that the new baby was born on Friday and named Max Charles Murphy, with the middle name serving as a tribute to Murphy's older brother and fellow comedian, Charlie, who died of leukemia in 2017.
Although Murphy, 57, previously had nine children from past relationships, it is only his second child with Butcher, 39. The two also share a two year old daughter named Izzy together. After dating since 2012, the two stars have recently gotten engaged to each other.

Learn to lower your blood pressure
When left untreated, high blood pressure may damage the kidneys, leading to a heart attack, stroke, or heart failure. High blood pressure is defined as the top number or systolic blood pressure averaging 140 mmHG or higher and/or the bottom number or diastolic blood pressure averaging 90 mmHG or higher. There is no cure for high blood pressure. However, there are a number of simple lifestyle changes you can make to reduce your blood pressure or prevent or delay the development of high blood pressure. Improving your lifestyle also enhances the effectiveness of blood pressure medications.
Eat a Balanced, Low-Salt Diet
Your diet should focus on fruits, vegetables, other potassium-rich foods, and low-fat dairy products with limited salt. Reducing your salt intake lowers the risk of high blood pressure for people prone to develop the condition, helps control high blood pressure for people currently taking blood pressure medication, and may prevent heart problems for overweight individuals.
The simplest way to limit your salt intake is to buy fresh as opposed to packaged or processed foods. When you do buy packaged foods, look for products without added seasonings or sauces. Get in the habit of reading food labels so you know exactly what you're putting into your body. To flavor your food, opt for spices or herbs instead of salt. If you're having trouble making a drastic reduction in sodium, cut back slowly so your palate can adjust accordingly.
Drink Alcohol in Moderation
Regular alcohol intake may increase blood pressure significantly. If you do drink, limit yourself to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men (since alcohol affects women's health differently than men's). One drink equals a four-ounce glass of wine, a 12-ounce beer, 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor, or one ounce of hard liquor. If you're currently a heavy drinker, reduce your intake slowly over several weeks to lower your blood pressure slowly and avoid shocking your system.
Maintain a Regular Exercise Routine
Blood pressure is typically closely linked to weight. Overweight individuals are much more likely to have high blood pressure than individuals with a healthy weight. Exercising regularly in combination with eating better will help you lose weight and consequently lower your blood pressure. The best types of exercise to lower blood pressure include walking, jogging, cycling, dancing and swimming. Strength training may also be beneficial. Strive to engage in 30 minutes of exercise four or five days per week, maintaining a regular routine to achieve a consistent normal blood pressure range.
Keep Your Stress Level in Check
Chronic stress contributes heavily to high blood pressure for many individuals. You may also boost your blood pressure when you respond to stress by eating junk food, drinking alcohol in excess, or smoking. Consider your biggest stressors and then work to eliminate or reduce them. Know your stress triggers as well and try to avoid them whenever possible.
For most patients with high blood pressure, a health care provider will recommend prescription blood pressure medication in addition to lifestyle changes. Depending on your current blood pressure and other health conditions, you may need multiple blood pressure medications.
Holmes Place places a high priority on women's health. We work closely with our female clients to help them move better, eat better, and feel better. From creating a workout plan to offering tips to lower blood pressure naturally, we address every aspect of women's health to maximize your overall well-being.

Truck driver strikes, kills pedestrian in Lachine
Published Monday, August 21, 2017 12:42PM EDT
Last Updated Monday, August 21, 2017 9:57PM EDT
A Lachine councillor says the Ministry of Transportation must change its attitude toward pedestrians following the death of an elderly woman.
On Monday morning the 80-year-old woman was walking east across the intersection of Notre Dame St. and St. Pierre Ave. on a green light, but did not make it all the way through before the light changed.
A truck driver waiting at the intersection went north on St. Pierre as soon as his light turned green, having failed to see there was a pedestrian directly in front of him.
"He never saw the woman in front of his truck," said Montreal police officer Manuel Couture.
The woman died immediately.
Lachine councillor Maja Vodanovic said traffic in the area has increased tremendously because of the construction to rebuild Highway 20 around the Turcot Interchange.
"The main problem in St. Pierre has been traffic. Traffic and truck traffic and every week someone says someone is going to get killed, it is too dangerous," said Vodanovic.
"It is a tremendous tragedy and I really hope the MTQ starts putting the priority on pedestrians and not on the circulation of the trucks."
She said that the neighbourhood is now seeing vehicular traffic funnelling into it from far and wide, and that it's become extremely dangerous for anyone travelling on foot.
"We have garbage bags over the pedestrian lights. We have this dangerous intersection where our kids are dropped off because the buses don't want to go into St. Pierre because there's too much traffic. We're putting our children at risk," said Vodonavic.
She's demanding the street lights in the area be changed to ensure the safe crossing of pedestrians especially near Martin Belanger Elementary school, which is located just a few blocks away from the scene of Monday's deadly collision.

Blogosphere is singing a different tune about Steve Ballmer today (Steve Ballmer became Microsoft CEO 11 years ago today). Suddenly there is a lot of love for him.
Joe Wilcox (Betanews)
But there is something different now in Ballmer's leadership style, which started soon after the September 2008 stock market collapse and became more apparent in actions taken in 2010. No one should underestimate Microsoft in 2011. Whether the good ship Microsoft breaks up on a reef or outmaneuvers competitors during the next two years, Ballmer will be at the helm. Accountability starts and ends with him now, like never before in his 11-year tenure. He's communicated that he is absolutely in charge. It's now deliver or die.
Mary Jo Foley (ZDNet)
I have said on previous occasions that — despite the fact that I've been on the Ballmer-interview blacklist for more than 15 years — I still considered him the best person for the Microsoft CEO job. And last we heard from Ballmer on the topic of his CEO stewardship plans, two-plus years ago, Microsoft's CEO made it clear that he had no plans to step down voluntarily until 2018 or so, when his youngest son was off to college.
The question — for me — always comes back to whether there is there someone who could do a better job than Ballmer leading Microsoft? I'd say if the pool of candidates is restricted to current Microsoft management, the answer is no. (Those calling for Bill Gates to return as Microsoft CEO need to give up that pipe dream. Gates has moved on, though he remains chair of the Microsoft board.) Because of the dismal record that outsiders have at succeeding and lasting at Microsoft, I'd say a non-Softie, as appealing as that may sound from a new-blood perspective, has a low likelihood of making it for long as Redmond's CEO.
Matt Rosoff (SAI)
What a lot of outsiders don't understand is that Ballmer is a numbers guy. He aced the math portion of the SAT. He majored in mathematics -- not business, not computer science.
Insiders tell stories about how he often knows more about the performance of their business than they do, and he isn't afraid to dive deep. Once when a new executive didn't know some detail about customer numbers for a product, Ballmer corrected him. In public. That executive was gone a year later.
Ballmer may appear irrational from the outside, but his decisions are driven by the numbers. Sales. Revenue. Expenses. Income. Trends. That's it.

Employment Effects of Early Interventions on Job Search Programs
We investigate the dependence of the program effect on varying entry times for a low cost job-search assistance program in Austria. The Austrian targeting policy is to admit every unemployed to a job-search program before the fourth month. The program effect is measured by a shift in the transition rate into employment upon program entry, using the timing-of-events method. Our findings are that the program effect is positive and does not vary significantly for program entries during the first year of unemployment, but it drops drastically thereafter.
