Race the Lake 2018 is the 11th annual return of the popular bike race around majestic Lake Winnebago. August 26, 2018.
Race the Lake is an annual bike race that, despite it's 88-mile length, attracts bicyclists of all skill levels, pro to beginner. Past year's courses have even reached lengths of 100 miles. Much of the attraction can be attributed to the beautiful scenery found along the shores of Lake Winnebago.
The race starts in Fond du Lac and heads north along the west side of Lake Winnebago, running through Oshkosh, Neenah, Menasha, and Appleton. The halfway point at High Cliff State Park sees the course turn south south down Lake Winnebago's eastern shore. The course then takes the riders through Calumetville, Marytown, and St. Peter, to finish up at Fond du Lac's Lakeside Park.
As you can imagine, the course is very scenic. Lots of lush greenery, mammoth views of Lake Winnebago, and plenty of fresh country air. Fond du Lac's 400-acre Lakeside Park is great for a visit, too. The park has a walk-up lighthouse, marina, pedal boat rentals, picnic area, zip line, concessions, and more.
Cyclists can race as individuals or as part of a relay team. Relay teams are a great way for family or friends to participate as a group, with each cyclist picking up a leg of 8 miles to 21 miles.
All Race the Lake participants receive a Dri-wick shirt, goody bag, with food stations and Hammer Gel available along the course. After the race, riders will receive a finisher's medal and a hand-crafted beer from Appleton's historic Stone Arch brewpub. Cash prizes of up to $1,000 will be awarded to the winners of each division.

This weekend is (hopefully) bringing around a little bit of warmth before we head back to the cold temperatures through next week- although it is quite dreary outside right now.
As I finish up my second cup of coffee this morning, I came across this video (have you seen the new YouTube layout? Interesting.), which is part of a larger series, A Take Away Show, presented by La Blogothèque. I'm not sure how I've missed out on these, but this is a nice little recording of two of my favorite songs- tranquil enough to blend in with the foggy mess outside.

Paris Engaged To … Paris
Hotel heiress Paris Hilton, star of "The Simple Life" reality show, is engaged to Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis, her spokesman said Monday.
"They are happy and excited," said Rob Shuter, confirming the story first reported on People magazine's Web site.
Latsis, 27, proposed to Hilton, 24, on Wednesday after she returned from a three-week publicity tour in Europe to promote her horror flick, "House of Wax," and her new fragrance.
No wedding date has been set. It would be the first marriage for both.
Latsis is a grandson of John Latsis, the last of Greece's shipping billionaires from the postwar boom years, who died in 2003 at 93. In March, Forbes magazine's ranking of the world's richest people listed the Latsis family at No. 54 with a combined wealth of $7.5 billion.
"I'm so in love and grateful to have found such an honest and loyal person," Hilton told Us Weekly. "I feel like we were meant to be, and I'm happy to have found someone to spend the rest of my life with."
The magazine quoted Latsis as calling Hilton "the most beautiful woman I've ever met. I feel like the luckiest man in the world."
The couple, who have been dating for about eight months, marked the engagement Saturday with a barbecue for 75 friends and family at their Hollywood Hills home, Shuter said.

BtoB Magazine Puts WebMama.com into Search Engine Marketing Vendor List
Thank you to BtoB Magazine for listing us with 29 other Search Engine Marketing companies in their 2007 Interactive Marketing Guide. We specialize in B2B marketing so it makes sense for us to be listed with other large SEM companies that have B2B clients as we do.
With all the hype around brand-name companies spending money on video ads and ads on social networking sites, I found it very refreshing to read a few interviews with CMO-level executives from large B2B companies talk about their investment in search:
Jim Davis, CMO, SAS: Search is a strategic component of SAS' overall marketing and branding strategy. ... Over the next 12 months, as we focus on globalization and optimization of our search efforts, we'll be looking to maximize our investment in search.
Juanita James: CCO, Pitney Bowes: We'll increase our spending in this area by healthy, double digit percentages this year.
Thomas Haas, CMO, Siemens: Search works for us and we intend to consolidate, optimize, and expand our investments in search across general interest and btob search properties.
Jocelyne Attal: CMO, Avaya (Monster): SEM is critical to any online business and Monster is no exception. Search is the foundation of Monster's online advertising program and we do not expect to change in the near future.
Thanks to Carol Krol for the article 'Medium draws funds from other Channels' that shows the pie piece is still growing for search. {smile}

Amid badly damaged buildings in the war-torn Syrian city of Homs, a young couple decided to have their wedding pictures done.
Newlyweds Nada Merhi, 18, and her husband, Syrian army soldier Hassan Youssef, 27, posed for a series of pictures on Feb. 5 among the ruins of what is left of Homs' streets and buildings after years of civil war.
Merhi wore a traditional white wedding gown.
Youssef, a soldier in Syrian President Bashar Assad's army, according to multiple media outlets, wore a military uniform.
The Washington Post identified the Syrian wedding photographer as Jafar Meray. He used the destruction of Homs to his advantage "to show that life is stronger than death," according to AFP photographer Joseph Eid, who accompanied the couple and Meray on the shoot.
This isn't the first wedding that has been photographed among Homs's rubble. According to the Washington Post, Meray photographed another married couple late last year. On his Facebook page, he explained that the photographs were proof that "life goes on, silently."
Homs, which is about 160 kilometres north of the capital, Damascus, was once the country's third-largest city, with a population of more than 600,000. But after Homs became a rebel stronghold in 2011, it was hit by a military assault by government forces.

IndustroClean decided to reposition itself in the market and refresh the current Industroclean brand.
The project kicked off with a brand workshop in which we interrogated the brand, what it stands for and how it is positioned. We brainstormed the brand personality and values as well as brand associations with the IndustroClean brand team.
The insight gained from the session was invaluable and assisted us with setting out to create the platform from which the brand was developed, both strategically and creatively.
After developing the brand strategy we moved on to the corporate identity, which included a logo and kit of parts refresh. A contemporary, fresh brand with a new invigorated approach to the industrial cleaning industry was created.
The new IndustroClean brand will certainly set the benchmark in cleaning in South Africa.
The new brand was launched in November 2011 at a launch event at the NAC hanger at Lanseria Airport. The sales team from around the country gathered to see the unveiling of the new brand and take part in a team building session.
WRAPPA facilitated the team-building session as well as presented the new brand and insight on how the brand was developed.
Once the brand was launched, WRAPPA completed the project by compiling a set of brand guidelines for the IndustroClean Brand Team. The guidelines will assist with the brand management and will ensure that the brand remains consistent in its messaging in all future communications and brand associated activities.

Banks create secretive lending contracts that prevent companies from hiring non-Big Four audit firms if they want access to debt, claim the auditors. This distorts the market and creates an uncompetitive playing field for smaller audit firms.
The submissions from the Big Four – PwC, Deloitte, KMPG and Ernst & Young, along with Grant Thornton – were filed as part of a Competition Commission inquiry into the audit industry and the prevalence of the dominating quartet.
Grant Thornton, which has also gone to the British Bankers Association directly, wrote in its submission: "The restrictions over the appointment of auditors currently exists in both written and equally importantly, in unwritten forms."
Grant Thornton claims that "lending agreements" block firms outside of the Big Four and force companies to only use "pre-approved" firms.
In its submission Ernst & Young said that it would "support a number of measures to increase choice" including "removing Big Four only restrictive covenants".
A spokesman for PwC said: "These restrictions are created by banks - not by us. They are definitely an artificial barrier to competition and should be eradicated. We don't know how prevalent these restrictions are because most people do not get to see these contracts between lenders and their banks, but we need to have an investigation in why and how often lenders are forcing this measure."
Steve Maslin, head of public affairs for Grant Thornton, said his firm constantly loses business because lenders force companies to take on Big Four accountants, even when the firm has had a longstanding relationship with the company.

|AJ Mendel Black Silk Crepe Gown and J.Mendel Black shiny Grain Mini Minaudiere, with Givenchy heels and Lorraine Schwatz jewelry
|Cara Delevingne: Burberry gown, gold studs covering the upper body and low-cut neckline
2013 met gala was the biggest fashion event of the year, with the theme of 'Punk: Chaos to Couture'. Celebs wore plenty of studded black leather biker jackets, embellished dresses and wearing shinny metallic colours to convey that gothic glamor style. However, I think the celebs didn't know how to approach the Punk: Chaos to Couture theme, as half of them played it simple, and the other half went overboard. In my opinion I think Cara Delevingne and Taylor Swift wore the simplest yet glamorous dresses of the night. Taylor Swift walked the red carpet in a glamorous J Mendel Black Silk Crepe Gown and J. Mendel Black Shiny Grain Mini Minaudiere with Givenchy high heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. My favorite part of Taylors outfit was the jewelry. She wore a sparkling silver-gold embroidered crystal neckline to go with her chiffon sunburst pleated back to fit with the evening's theme.
Cara Delevingne walked on the red carpet with a black long sleeve custom-made Burberry gown with gold studs covering the upper body to show off her low-cut neckline. For her makeup she wore a dark smoky eye with her hair braided to one side to show off her triangle shaped earrings. To balance out the dark colours of the dress she had a white padlock clutch. Overall all the outfits of all the celebs at the 2013 met gala were absolutely gorgeous with the theme of punk glamour.

Launching quietly amidst the busy holiday season in late 2015, Netflix's true crime story and documentary Making a Murderer suddenly emerged as the hottest topic of water-cooler conversation at that time across the globe. Hot on the heels of global podcast phenomenon Serial, Making a Murderer was putting the legitimacy of the American justice system on trial, prompting web sleuths and true crime enthusiasts alike to compare, discuss and dissect the story of small town criminal Steven Avery's "wrongful" conviction for the murder of young photographer Theresa Halbach.
The series' provocative narrative fuelled thousands of on and offline discussions, with office lunch-table discussions, pub conversations, commuter tweeting, Reddit discussion and forum postings debating the verdict of the show's main case and suspect. Avery's story took on a life of its own, and a culture and unique narrative thrived around it.
Culture and the latest trending topics are frequently feeding grounds for brands in their storytelling inspiration, but what brand would inpire their storytelling style on this talked about tale of a pardoned rapist and (rightly or wrongly) convicted murderer?
Australian smoothie brand Boost took this challenge head on, using the documentary's provocative storytelling style to launch its own conspiracy theory discussion – Was its juices wrongly convicted of being gravely unhealthy for its customers? Was the media's clams of its juices being less healthy than a Big Mac true?
Creative content strategy that jumped on a cultural moment to make its content contagious and worth sharing (with over 54,000 video views and 240 shares on Facebook). Our verdict? A mischievous storytelling piece that used the language, visuals and soundtrack inspiration in a parody style that re-channelled this search for justice to Boost's search for justice around the health of their product. A legitimate injustice of their brand in social and media discussion, that was broached head-on. A clever, mischievous play Boost!
Do you agree with our verdict? Do you think Boost successfully leveraged the MaM moment, or exploited it? Share your thoughts with us below…

A real brotherly love
Being a single parent is not an easy job. Being a single mom of twins is even more challenging. When I found out that I was having twins, I was so happy. No one in our family had twins before. It was a miracle. Back then, I had no idea what it meant to take care of two infants.
All I wished for was to have two healthy children. As for the rest, I told myself I would find a way to handle it. I was not scared of the perspective of sleepless nights and never ending cries or tantrums. What did I know about kids at that time? Nothing!
Three years later, after an ugly divorce, I can tell you that I do have a lot more experience under my belt. All the moments of crisis that I had all the problems that I have been through made me stronger.
I also learnt that I needed to keep in mind at all times that I was the parent and not the friend of my children. Therefore, I did not succumb to pressure. I did not cave in when they made a tantrum.
I stood there, allowing them to express themselves the way the wanted. That did not mean that I agreed with them. No. I simply let them take out the negative energy. I did not care that we were in a mall and they had an audience, or that people were looking at us, probably condemning me or pitying me. I did not give a damn about their thoughts or judgements.
I was the parent responsible for my kids' upraising and I was sticking to my plan. I knew that it took only one time of weakness to create of precedent, or open Pandora's Box. I have to admit that I was impressed by their creativity. They did try it all: shouts, screams, fake tears, rolling down the floor, you name it.
Each time they had a meltdown I was able to remain calm, at least on the outside. I needed to show them that I was in control. But when they started to hit each other, I busted. When I saw T. hitting his brother with his skate board toy, I jumped out of the couch. Within a second I was next to them hoping that I would be able to catch the toy before it hit M.'s face.
Unfortunately I couldn't prevent the blow. The next second I witnessed T. collapsing and blood coming out of his mouth. With one hand I grabbed the skateboard out of T.'s hand and with the other I tried to pick up M. He was still in shock.
As soon as I looked at his face, I knew that I had to find an Emergency Dentist Boisbriand. One of his teeth was broken. His gum and upper lip were bleeding. This was one of the scariest moments I had to handle all by myself.

So I am finally back from Australia and my South East Asia travels! My two week's since being back has involved of catching up with friends and family, copious amounts of job interviews and preparing presentations, a little bit of chilling out and now time to car hunt and apartment hunt! Busy busy… which explains the lack of posting lately, but hopefully all will be back on track from now onwards.
My post today is focusing on a brand which is Manchester based, which I thought was apparent seeing as I am back in my home city! Lavish Alice is an online retailer, with a strong focus on cutting edge fashion and catwalk led trends. If you like to own the hottest styles and constantly shop fast fashion, you'll find them an uber-cool retailer as they have such an extensive, affordable collection of clothes. Take this Powder Blue Cropped Mini Dress, £45… I recently received this pretty dress and was amazed at how thick the material is, with strong lining and a feel of real quality.
I teamed the dress up with some wedge ankle boots and threw over a smart black jacket for a day out in Hale with a group of friends. I will also definitely be wearing this for a night out, or any special occasions coming up, therefore it's a bit of an all-rounder! The model on the website wears it with some gorgeous chunky white shoes, so this is a slight inspiration for me when I decide to 'dress' this up a bit!
I had another little browse on the website earlier today, trawling the New In category to see if there was any inspiration for some of the up-coming birthdays and weddings I have. Had to say, I LOVE the monochrome version of the powder blue dress, and also the simple yet chic jumpsuit below that has been seen on Samantha Faiers. Some lovely items available at the moment!

|Dear friend in Christ,
From the beginning, our trinitarian God has been energizing all creation through relationship. Is it any surprise then that relationships are fundamental to faith-based fundraising? These pivotal relationships include our relationship to God, to the church, to each other and to our world, and not to be forgotten, our relationship to all the assets seemingly under our control.
At their very best, congregations nurture, cultivate and multiply relationships, relationships that transform lives and change the world as Jesus would have us do. It is through these relationships that people can be inspired to see their own potential to resource ministry, not just in the church but everywhere they go and in all that they do. It is through the aggregation of a fraction of this capacity that our congregations and the larger church are supplied with the necessary participants, leaders and financial support that make everything we do possible.
The implications are many. One is that, as followers of Jesus, we need to value EQ (emotional/relational intelligence) as much as IQ and understand that giving intellectual assent to beliefs and doctrines is most likely not as important as living life in a relational, loving way. Another takeaway is that most often generosity flows more from teaching and inspiration than manipulation, coercion, shame or guilt. In the end, our best strategy for funding the church will focus less on an annual stewardship campaign and more on a daily emphasis of relationship, relationship, relationship.
This issue of stewardNet is about the value of relational stewardship and taking seriously what we want for people, not just what we want from them.
We are a church that is energized by lively engagement in our faith and life. Thank you for doing God's work with a faithful, generous heart!
Steve Oelschlager
|"The Culture Code"
Groups that thrive
In an effort to better understand what makes organizations thrive, author Daniel Coyle investigated a wide spectrum of teams, groups and companies, from the San Antonio Spurs basketball team to Pixar Animation and the military. Surprisingly, the commonality he found was all the little relational things leaders do to enhance a sense of belonging while creating feelings of trust, safety and cooperation. When leaders effectively model vulnerability, it promotes healthy risk-taking where failure may be an outcome. When leaders make use of the power of story, it promotes a sense of shared, motivating purpose. Coyle writes, "Culture is a set of living relationships working toward a shared goal. It's not something you are, it's something you do." In the end, everyone feels like they have an important role to play and contribution to make.
For a deeper look at the value of relationships and belonging as a precursor to organizational vitality, read Coyle's book "The Culture Code: The Secrets of Highly Successful Groups."
Congregations as cultures of generosity
At an Ecumenical Stewardship Center event in Dallas this past spring, speaker Aimee Laramore gave a terrific, down-to-earth presentation (watch here) on congregations as cultures of generosity. Laramore is a person of faith with a background in development and faith-based fundraising. She covered lots of topics, but the core of her message was about the importance of relationships, meeting people where they are, being truly interested in how they are doing, talking about money without always asking for any, and celebrating all the ways people make a difference including outside of the church. She asked how our congregations can help people see themselves as benefactors. What if we didn't limit our storytelling to just how giving makes the world out there better but also cultivate stories by givers about how generosity has blessed their lives?
Laramore mentioned her friend and mentor William Enright, the founding director of the Lake Institute on Faith & Giving, part of the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy at Indiana University. Enright recently authored a book worth reading titled "Kitchen Table Giving: Reimagining How Congregations Connect With Their Donors," in which he shares a similar relational approach. Here is a review of the book by the Center for Stewardship Leaders at Luther Seminary.
Mission interpretation ministry
After watching Aimee Laramore's stewardship presentation on the "how to" of generosity, I was struck by how much of what she discussed pertained to mission interpretation. I immediately thought of the elevator speech I use when asked to give a brief description of what mission interpretation is about. It's about telling the stories that declare God's work in the world. It's about lifting up our connectedness as the three expressions of our church. And it's about thanking the doers and the givers for their generosity.
Aimee says that our story is part of the mission story, that people want to know where their money ultimately goes beyond building and salaries. That's exactly what a mission interpreter in your congregation does! Tells the stories that help build relationships between the giver and the receiver, tells the stories of how your Mission Support dollars make a difference. Stories that grow generosity. Aimee also speaks about how important it is for us to share our faith stories of God's goodness with one another. An easy way to begin a conversation, to tell stories, about our faith was introduced at a mission interpreter coordinator's conference in 2015 called The Turning Point Storytelling Method by Jennifer Strauss at storybetold.com. (Download the outline here.) A mission interpreter in your congregation could lead you through this process.
When Aimee spoke about philanthropy, she gave the definition as being "the love of humankind." Mission interpreters in congregations bring to light how we share our gifts throughout our church from congregation to synod to our churchwide organization. How, together, we make a difference in the world telling stories of how we are church together.
Won't you consider becoming a mission interpreter in your synod? Please contact Denise Ballou for more information.

at Jordan Hall
Eric Lu
By concert's end, little doubt remained as to Lu's extraordinary
facility, his nearly flawless playing, power, and
lightning speed. This young performer already has garnished prizes
and performances here and abroad. And
or his age, he is already making remarkable rounds on the
international scene as a concertizing pianist. …
As to the Lu's grasp on the fast, it was way out there with
blinding technique and formidable energy such as
that of a rock super star. ...for those who caught Eric Lu in
concert at Jordan there was certainly more than enough
from the 19-year-old to bring his audience to its feet, asking for
more. -David Patterson, Boston Music Intelligencer

minor, K. 511

Eric Lu 陸逸軒, pianist
19-year old
pianist Eric Lu is rapidly building an international reputation as
a young pianist with enormous promise, and a distinctive musical
A native of the Boston, Massachusetts area, Eric Lu won the 1st
prize at the 2015 US National Chopin Competition in Miami, and
recently, won the 1st prize and audience award at the 2017
International German Piano Award in Frankfurt. In October 2015, at
17 years old, Eric won the 4th prize at the 17th International
Fryderyk Chopin Competition in Warsaw, becoming one of the
youngest laureates in the history of the prestigious competition.
Following these recent successes, Eric received invitations to
perform in many important venues around the world in just the past
two years, including Carnegie Hall in New York, Auditorio Nacional
in Madrid, Alte Oper Hall in Frankfurt, Chopin and his Europe
Festival in Warsaw, Jordan Hall in Boston, Taipei National Concert
Hall, Beijing Concert Hall, Strathmore Music Center, the

Hall in Katowice, Krakow Philharmonic Concert Hall, Nohant
Festival, and a tour of Japan and Korea following the Chopin
Competition, performing in halls such as Seoul Arts Center, Tokyo
Metropolitan Hall, Osaka Symphony Hall, Sapporo Arts Center, among
others. Described by the New York
Classical Review as a musician
of "exceptional musical sensitivity", as well as by Michael Moran
from the Duszniki Festival proclaiming, "The
tone he produced was luminous, the articulation spellbinding and
exciting, the legato and bel canto desperately moving." Following
his performance of Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 during the
final of the International Piano Award, the Darmstadter Echo
wrote, "Lu received thundering applause after a sheer unbelievable
performance of the work. Oscillating between melancholy and
turmoil, he follows the expressive themes of the work with
sensitivity, peeling out melodies with fascinating clarity from
the virtuosic, densely-written piano part."
Paving the way included earlier achievements of 1st prizes at the
Moscow International Chopin Competition for Young Pianists(2014),
the Minnesota International e-Piano Junior Competition (2013), and
the XII Ettlingen International Competition in Germany(2010). Eric
has collaborated with orchestras such as the Warsaw Philharmonic,
Minnesota Orchestra, Staatskapelle Halle, National Philharmonic,
Arthur Rubinstein Philharmonic, Orchestra of the 18th century,
Orquestra Clasica Santa Cecilia, New Jersey Symphony, Sinfonietta
Cracovia, Rzeszow and Kielce Philharmonics, Cincinnati Chamber
Orchestra, etc.

Shi. While at the New England Conservatory Preparatory School, he
studied with Alexander Korsantia, and Mr. A. Ramon Rivera. In
2013, Eric entered the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia,
where he currently studies with Profs. Robert McDonald and
Jonathan Biss. He is also a pupil of pianist Dang Thai Son. His
debut CD was released under the Chopin Institute in Warsaw,
recorded from the Chopin Competition 2015.

Primary Species of Fish
The primary species of fish in this area are walleye, northern pike and largemouth bass. Most anglers don't come here to fish for largemouth bass, but many of the smaller lakes have some very good fishing for largemouth bass. Walleye can be hit or miss and the northern pike seem to almost always be willing to cooperate.
Secondary Species of Fish
There are many lakes in the area and some of them give you some different options here. Just because smallmouth bass and muskie are secondary here does not mean that you can't find some lakes in this area where the fishing is very good for both species of fish. Panfish are available throughout all of the lakes. Some lakes are better than others for certain species of fish.

World Mental Health Day: Focus on young people
There can be no discussion on mental health without addressing suicide, writes crisis psychiatrist Mark Xuereb.
Saturday, 4pm, two weeks ago.
The police call the 24/7 crisis line. A young man called them saying he left a goodbye note on his bed and is going to end his life. The reason? His parents received revealing pictures of him interacting with a woman online. This woman blackmailed him. Unable to pay her 'fees' this internet lady shared the pictures. This crisis crushed the young man psychologically. He wanted out.
We call the young man. He is tearful, shaken and is heading towards Valletta. We manage to calm him down and buy time. At the same time, we are communicating with the police who dispatch all their available mobile units there. The man is relentless and determined. "Tell my brother I love him very much. I cannot face the shame." Our crisis professional is worried but equally determined to save this poor man. "Where are you? Tell me about your brother. Let us help you. We all make mistakes and we can all be forgiven," she states in a calm and empathic tone.
Despite the ongoing training, every crisis needs significant concentration and tact. She convinces him to sit on the pavement. At one point the phone goes dead. Fearing the worst, she calls again. Thankfully, he is there but is now on the ledge. She perseveres. She talks to him about how much his family loves him and about the pain he would inflict on his loved ones if he took his life. At the same time, she cannot but hope that the police will get there – and fast. The next thing she hears is the sound of a radio and all goes dead again. She calls. No reply. Tension is sky high but is shattered when she is called by the police control room. The man has been saved. What a relief. Another young life saved. On to the next caller.
The above is not some excerpt from a movie. It is an almost weekly occurrence in little Malta.
As we watch the news, scroll the internet and talk to family and friends around the world, it's apparent that psychological instability, violence and constant traumatic events are becoming daily occurrences. Discrimination is out of the dark alleys and into the mainstream again and mental illness seems to be on the rise. But many young people are not seeking treatment that could inevitably help lessen the severity of their illness and give them the tools to live a more productive and stable life.
Our young people today face constant stressors and challenges – happening in their own lives and in the world around them. Many of the issues facing our young people today, such as, bullying, suicide, the onset of major mental illnesses, the effects of trauma, and gender identity discrimination require our time and attention, global awareness and compassion, as well as new programmes and guidelines on how we can protect and empower the next generation.
Suicide is the ultimate tragedy in mental health. Unfortunately, it is on the rise in our youth
This year, World Mental Health Day (commemorated on October 10 each year, a month after World Suicide Prevention Day) reminds us about the issues facing young people.
Those aged between 14 and 28 are identified as youth. Suicide is the ultimate tragedy in mental health. Unfortunately, it is on the rise in our youth. It is also the commonest cause of non-accidental death in this age category worldwide.
Adolescence and the early years of adulthood are a time of life when many changes occur, for example changing schools, leaving home, and starting university or a new job. For many, these are exciting times. They can also be times of stress and apprehension however. In some cases, if not recognised and managed, these feelings can lead to mental illness.
Half of all mental illness begins by the age of 14 and three-quarters by mid-20s, but most cases go undetected and untreated. In terms of the burden of the disease among adolescents, depression is the third leading cause. Harmful use of alcohol and illicit drugs among adolescents is a major issue in many countries and can lead to risky behaviours such as unsafe sex or dangerous driving. Eating disorders are also of concern. Mental health is the number one reason people visit their GPs.
Prevention of mental health issues begins with better understanding. Much can be done to help build mental resilience from an early age to help prevent mental distress and illness among adolescents and young adults, and to manage and recover from mental illness. Prevention begins with being aware of and understanding the early warning signs and symptoms of mental illness. Parents and teachers can help build life skills of children and adolescents to help them cope with everyday challenges at home and at school. Psychosocial support can be provided in schools and other community settings and of course training for health workers to enable them to detect and manage mental health disorders can be put in place, improved or expanded.
Government investment should be linked to programmes to raise awareness among adolescents and young adults of ways to look after their mental health and to help peers, parents and teachers know how to support their friends, children and students. The focus locally must be to implement a national suicide prevention strategy. This includes having a fully functional and equipped crisis team and telephone booths at places where people jump to their deaths. These initiatives are evidence based and save lives. We owe it to our youth and our nation to stem the suffering.
We must, however, move from words to action and invest more in our mental health frontline emergency service, i.e. crisis teams. This will reduce long-term illness, admissions and ultimately make Malta and Gozo a healthier place.
You too can help make Malta and Gozo a better place for mental health. If you know of someone in crisis, reach out and take that person to a professional. Do not leave them alone and get in touch on the free 24/7 crisis line. Like the police, you too can be a hero, be part of the crisis team and save a life.

Members Spotlight: Fitness Freak
TechHub Members Fitness Freak recently launched their brand new site. It's already got a lot of attention, and the team are going from strength to strength. We caught up with Shara Tochia, to learn a bit more about Fitness Freak:
Congratulations on the launch, the site looks great. Talk us (briefly!) through the design/build process?
Thanks! In summary, both were outsourced. However, we have now bought it all into the company. Phew!
Have people been responding well to the site?
Really well. We are starting to get some real traction and interest from the fitness industry, our early adopters/fitness bloggers & trade. We have some fantastic PR collaborations coming up! Sign up so you don't miss out on the news.
What gave you the idea for Fitness Freak? Personal pain?
Absolutely. I love fitness classes, and teach them at clubs around London. I returned after living in Sydney for a few years and wanted to explore the fitness London market and found it really painful searching online. At that time, I was working in the online restaurant marketing area and worked closely with Toptable (finder and booking platform for restaurants online) & thought it was a good idea to replicate the business model for fitness!
How do you see yourselves/Fitness Freak expanding in the future?
We're working hard to conquer the London market before looking at other UK cities. There are a few secret projects we have in the pipeline for Fitness Freak that we can't reveal just yet!
What other health and fitness apps do you use, or particularly like?
Nike +, Map My Run, My Fitness Pal are all great!
We like to laugh. Hit us with your best joke.
What do you call cheese that isn't yours? Nacho Cheese (it's shockingly bad, I know). I'll work on it.
Thanks Shara, lovely as always to chat to you, and best of luck conquering the London market!

Glamorgan Cricket is pleased to confirm seam bowler Mike Reed has signed a two year contract extension with the Club.
Originally from Leicestershire, Mike came to Glamorgan's attention whilst a student at Cardiff University. The tall bowler developed some impressive spells against county professionals whilst playing for the Cardiff MCCU team and has been likened by observers to Steve Harmison in his action and gait.
After graduating from Cardiff University, he joined the Welsh county's full-time staff and made his first-class debut in 2012 against Derbyshire at the SWALEC Stadium. Reed celebrated his 24thbirthday last week and in the same week recorded best-figures of 3/39 during Kent's first innings.
Mike Reed said, "I am delighted to have signed a contract extension with Glamorgan. It's been great to have had an opportunity to play first team cricket this season and this announcement along with an enjoyable home victory against Kent is a great way to sign off the season."
Head of Elite Performance, Matthew Mott said, "Mike has made a dramatic rise this season. He started the year as a raw, unproven product and you can see in the win against Kent our last match out, how he has developed as a player.
"He's got all the attributes to make it, he's athletic, tall, strong and is hungry to prove himself at first-class level. He's keen to play in all forms of the game, gets good bounce with his deliveries and has the ability to do batsmen for length. This contract extension is good boost for us and is exactly what a hard working, self starter like Mike deserves.
The Club now has a number of quality bowlers on the playing staff and coupled with the signing of Michael Hogan, this news bodes well for the future."

Activision and Marvel announce X-Men Destiny
Today saw the announcement of another game based on the mutated franchise of X-Men. Activision and Marvel team up to bring out X-Men Destiny, which "casts players as new mutant recruits in a rich, branching storyline that features a deep element of choice and gives players ultimate control of their destiny."
The storyline, which you can learn more of during the Marvel Games Panel on Saturday, October 9th at the New York Comic-Con expo, is being penned by X-Men Legacy writer Mike Carey. Attendees of said expo will also be able to catch a glimpse of the game in Activision's booth #1833.
That is, unfortunately, the extent of it. More information about the game and a teaser video will be shared with the world later today through IGN and the teaser website that has already gone live.

WATERVLIET ARSENAL, N.Y. -- During a visit here Jan. 18, New York's American Legion Department commander confirmed what the workforce has known for more than 200 years ̶ There is no other place in the world like the Watervliet Arsenal.
Rena Nessler, who made history last July when she became the first woman commander of the New York American Legion, said she has long wanted to visit the Army's historic manufacturing center in upstate New York.
"I have often heard about the Watervliet Arsenal since I moved to New York in 1972," Nessler said. "And so, for more than 40 years I have been intrigued not only by the Arsenal's unique history that dates back to the War of 1812, but also by its continued value to our nation as the Army's manufacture of cannons and mortars."
As with many distinguished visits here, Nessler began her visit by receiving a command overview briefing from Joseph Turcotte, the Arsenal's deputy commander. But more important than the traditional slides that helped explain the Arsenal's mission and production status, were Turcotte's words.
"For more than 200 years, every Arsenal commander has understood that a strong relationship with the community is critical to the long-term viability of the Arsenal," Turcotte said. "And, for more than 90 years, the Arsenal has closely worked with the American Legion to better that relationship, thus making our communities stronger."
This was the fourth year in a row that the New York Legion Department Commander had visited the Arsenal, an engagement that began with former New York Department Commander Frank Peters in 2015. After his visit, Peters said that he thought so highly of his visit that he had to share the great work that Watervliet is doing for our nation with the Legion's national leadership. And so, since 2015, the Arsenal has also hosted the American Legion's National Commander or his vice commander each year.
Nessler toured several production bays where she saw critical manufacturing operations being performed, such as a 155mm howitzer tube being bent several inches as it was pressed by hundreds of tons of pressure in an effort to straighten it … to the quality control inspection of a 120mm tube for an Abrams Tank.
Before Nessler departed, she thanked the Arsenal workforce for their enduring service to the nation, community, and to Veterans. She also said that she would share the Arsenal's unique story on her travels.
The American Legion will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2019. The Arsenal's documented relationship with the American Legion dates back to 1921, when the Arsenal provided an American Legion post in Kentucky with a six-inch naval gun.
The Watervliet Arsenal is an Army-owned-and-operated manufacturing facility located in Watervliet, New York. The Arsenal is the oldest, continuously active arsenal in the United States, having begun operations during the War of 1812. The Arsenal is a subordinate command to the U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command and the U.S. Army Materiel Command

Spring 2006
To: All Weymouth Employees
From: Carl Weymouth
Date: September 10, 1990
Subject: Personnel Reduction at Weymouth in coming months
I am very sorry to inform you that our company will face serious difficulties in the near future. According to latest sales forecasts, the company's revenues will probably decrease by 25% in the next eighteen months due to increasing competition from European and Japanese companies. To become more competitive, Weymouth needs new capitals to buy new equipment and restructure production processes at all mills. Moreover, the company needs to spend more money on controlling pollution levels within the state standards. Consequently, Weymouth must find effective solutions to save as many costs as possible.
Recently, our company has implemented several cost-cutting measures. The company has shut down several less efficient mills and processing plants, and delayed some plant modifications for those that do not meet environmental regulations. The company also has cut purchasing and supply costs, implemented restricted travel expenses and reduced operating expenses as many as it could do. However, these effective measures have not helped Weymouth meet its urgent need for capitals. Therefore, the last solution our company could take is to reduce our employment force by 1000 salaried positions at all levels in coming months.
The company will pay those who must leave the company and have one or more years of service a termination payment, unused vacation for 1990 and accrued vacation for 1991. Our company also pays one-month coverage insurance from the leaving date and a partial insurance at reasonable rates for the following months. The company's managers will help those former employees search for new jobs.
On the other hand, the company will provide those who stay after this employment reduction with salary increases and improved benefit packages including provisions for retirement, vacations, medical and dental cares, life insurance and stock ownership. In return, those employees have to take more responsibilities and fulfill more job requirements. They also have to create more initiatives and work more effectively for the development of the company.
In coming months, supervisors will inform each employee individually his or her employment status and answer questions he or she may have.
I feel much regret to inform you this personnel reduction plan and look for your profound understanding of this solution. I will do my best to develop the company's business and hope that former employees will have opportunities to work again at Weymouth.

January 2014. Paul D. Hopkins played a great set which included a few numbers from his Roy Orbison tribute act as well as some more traditional country music. The fact that he was able to fulfil the request from one of our members for "The Impossible Dream" speaks volumes for Paul's virtuosity.
Elaine announced the fantastic news that SPANGLERS has been given the award from the online radio station ukcountryradio.com for being the best Country Music Club in 2013. What a fantastic achievement having only been going since June 2012. Thanks to all of you guys out there for making it possible.

What a fantastic achievement having only been going since June 2012. Thanks to all of you guys out there for making it possible.
FEBRUARY 2014. We were alll disappointed that Marie was unable to perform her Patsy Cline Tribute due to illness but the "class act" that is Logic more than made up for it. A touch of Irish country music went down well the crowd and the floor was full nearly all night. Thanks to everyone who turned out in what seemed to be record numbers , I hope we can top it again next month.
March 2014. Bonnie Diamond and David Coe from just down the road in Bourne performed three great sets of Country music with a few old rock n roll numbers like C'mon Everybody, Wake Up little Suzie and Matk Knopflers Cannibals.
April 2014. Luke Thomas and Melanie Greggain a.k.a. Luke and Mel were like a breath of fresh air. Their repertoire consisted almost entirely of modern country music and demonstrated Spanglers policy of bringing all sorts of Country music to Peterborough. Luke's guitar style grabbed everyone's attention right from the first raunchy riff of their opening number and continued through the music of Lady Antebellum and Keith Urban.
May 2014. I cant say much because it was one of the rare occasions when Val & I had a prior engagement but from reading the comments on the website it seems as if everyone had a great night. Jenny took some photos so I've edited them and here they are.
June 2014. Two acts for the price of one this month. Carolanne B and Alan, old favourites at Spanglers and Arizona Wes who was making his first appearance.
July 2014. All the way from their home in France, McKenzie - Zoe and Kenny, played three wonderful sets that had the floor busy all night. Everything from the much beloved Wagon Wheel to the underrated Cannibals by Mark Knopfler were showcased by Zoe's lovely voice and Kenny's vocal support and guitar playing. Fantastic.
August 2014. Winner of the Best Female Vocalist by the British County Music Awards in both 2012 and 2013, Nancy Ann Lee certainly lived up to our expectations. She may have changed her image but her performance remains absolutely top class. From her opening number 'Rockytop', Spanglers members were up and dancing all evening. Nancy's bubbly and sassy delivery marks her out as a real Little Miss Dynamite.
September 2014. This month it was time for a more traditional country music and who better for that than the one and only Dave Bryan. Dave had everyone up and dancing most of the night and his renditions of Johnny Cash songs like I Walk the Line were outstanding. Altogether another great night at SPANGLERS.
October 2014. Donna Wylde was paying her first visit to Spanglers and she was riding high on her success at last weeks Country Music Festival at Butlins Skegness. Donnas traditional Country repertoire went down very well with the Spanglers faithful and ensured regular traffic on the dance floor all night. I hope you enjoy the photos and I would like to thank Derek Franklin for his contributions.
November 2014. Gary Perkins & The Breeze. We had all been awaiting the return of Gary and the band for ages and the room was packed to bursting. I can safely say that not one person went home disappointed as the guys presented a gig that was full of music that we all wanted to hear. From contemporary country like Past the Point of Rescue (which really allowed Andy to show off a little with his guitar) to Grandmas Old Feather Bed. What a night!
November 2014. Once a year Spanglers holds a fund raising charity night and this year the money goes to the Stroke Association. The music was provided by the mega band Henry Smith and Country Dreams. Auctions, raffles, Irish Bingo and entry tickets raised a fantastic total of just over £500. Thanks to everybody.
December 2014. Tonight is PARTY NIGHT. Rarely have I seen so many weird wigs, flashing headdresses and strange fancy dress outfits but Spanglers people were determined to enjoy themselves and that's exactly what they did. Chris Raddings supplied the music and dressed mostly in black, he provided the perfect soundtrack for an evening of great fun. From leopards to dancing Christmas trees we all had a wonderful time to start Christmas with a bang.
