Study based on data from air quality sensors in a handful of homes warns of need to improve education on ventilation use over concerns at spikes in indoor level of PM2.5 particles
New research from several UK households into Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has warned of the potential dangers of inadequate ventilation in properties after everyday tasks such as cleaning or cooking.
Zehnder UK has presented initial findings from ongoing research into the impact of introducing a range of common pollutants into residential properties. This has been undertaken by placing commercially available air monitoring technology in a number of different rooms.
Awair sensors were introduced to five homes and recorded what the research describes as "significant spikes" in levels of PM2.5 particles in the form of fine dust that are linked to conditions such as asthma, allergies and mental health issues.
Rupert Kazlauciunas, technical product manager with Zehnder UK, said that IAQ was being dangerously overlooked at a time when concerns and awareness about outdoor air pollution were being raised politically and in media.
He said, "We spend as much as 90 per cent of our time indoors – yet mention air quality and our thoughts immediately turn to large lorries pumping fumes, cars clogging our roads or factories belching out smoke."
"The chemicals and particles we breathe in our homes and workplaces actually pose a far more dangerous threat to our health than most people realise. Smoking, perhaps, is not a huge surprise, but cooking, using cosmetics and even just having pets or vacuuming our carpets can raise dust particles to harmful levels."
Mr Kazlauciunas argued that efforts to improve end user awareness of the importance of IAQ, while also providing more innovative ventilation solutions, would be vital to tackle the negative health impacts of indoor pollutants.
The manufacturer said its findings had found that in the case of kitchen activity alone, cooking omelettes, stir fry or grilled foods raised pollution levels to three times the average levels of air pollution from a typical London road, based on official statistics.
Zehnder UK added, "Using hairspray when getting ready in the morning for example also caused a huge spike in harmful dust particles."
One participant in the study found through air monitoring that there was a large spike in both chemical and PM2.5 levels early in the morning after use of hairspray in a room. The level recorded was over five times the safe limit of 15 µg/m³. According to the test data, similar levels were recorded later in the day after the participant had been vaping in the same room.

During this festive month, brands like Hero, Honda and Yamaha enjoyed domination in the market share of motorcycles and bikes, comprising around 95 per cent while Honda sold the most number of scooters, comprising 85 per cent of share in the sales, Droom said in a release.
Acknowledging the success, Sandeep Aggarwal, Founder and CEO, Droom remarked, "India is world's largest two-wheeler market. In less than one year we have created the largest assortment of two wheelers online in India combined with auto loan, Insurance, RTO, and Assistance from auto experts. We think that Droom can be among the largest two-wheeler seller globally independent of channel in next three years."
Sale of two-wheelers was a significant contributor to the revenue generated by Droom, accounting for around 45 per cent of the same in the previous month.
The company has also said that hosting attractive offers amidst a market of car dealers struggling with high interest rates, high base effect, surged prices and muted consumer sentiments helped in surging the sale during the festive season.
Delhi, Hyderabad and Ahmedabad were among the top five cities where major volumes two-wheelers were sold, Droom said.

Went to the Vatican today and saw the Sistine Chapel and St Peter's Basilica, then went to the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps. This city is incredibly beautiful, and it is wild to be surrounded by antiquity. This Alfa wagon spoke to me.
So I am sitting at a bar a block away from the hotel enjoy an Italian whiskey sour. It is quite good, but different from what we are used to. At some point, I will download photos from my DLSR for a proper photodump, but until then enjoy these cars. The people in our tour group are already looking at me sideways, confused about why I keep photographing what are to them unremarkable cars. But this city is filled with cool hatchbacks and wagons (and scooters and bikes!) and so many are manuals. The enthusiast DNA here shames the US and our love for SUVs.
What is up with the back of this thing? I even saw my first Twingo in the flesh, but I could not get a picture. SR20 fail.

Circle of Wise Women
"Female Wave of Change uses our Cultural Differences as our Strength, we are Complementary" - Cordelia Henry
The Female Wave of Change Circle of Wise Women is a group of people from all over the world who have earned our respect because of their wisdom, their life story, their knowledge and experience. They are committed to the purpose of Female Wave of Change to unite women changing the world into a better place: women from all walks of life who take responsibility for their own future, the future of the next generation and of the world.
The Circle of Wise Women contributes to develop the Vision and Mission of the Female Wave of Change. Doing so they work closely together with the Female Wave of Change powerful team of Board members, Ambassadors and Wavemakers.
They also play an active role in our online global activities, the local activities in the different countries and mentoring women to find the leader in them and be the leader to change the world.
The members of the Circle of Wise Women are our mentors, our guides, our teachers, our speakers, our advisors and our networkers.
South Africa
"I join Female Wave of Change because the vision resonates deeply with my values and my life purpose to Teach, Inspire, Mentor and Engage women who desire to build a better world for this generation and the next. Count on me! I am committed, willing and ready to serve"
"I support Female Wave of Change because it allows me to imagine the world I want and provides a supportive space for me to create the requisite strategies to effect change and an international platform from which I can execute those strategies."
The Netherlands
"I join Female Wave of Change because I believe the only way to transforming humanity is through the aligned power of humanity. The new forces are crucial: empowered by the feminine values such as inclusion, cooperation and collaboration with our qualities. Female Wave of Change is a source of inspiration, the unstoppable wave of change that will transform how we treat our planet and each other. being on the Circle of Wise Women gives me the capability to connect globally and contribute to the wave with gained wisdom and power to keep the wave continuously active. I am not in to test the water. I am in to create waves"
The Netherlands
"I join the Female Wave of Change because I strongly believe in diversity. So as a man I hope to make a contribution to diversity in the Circle. As a coach 'Living to your Values' is leading in my work, connected to 'Guiding to your values'. In the world we live in, this is a tremendous task. It starts not only in your own life, but also in circles like this one. Spread out the invitation searching for values is my call. Searching means: learning. I hope to learn from all of you. Also I do hope to open discussions about rather 'unspoken' matters such as the position of gay women in several parts of the complex world in their work, their family, their religion. To me joining this circle hasn't anything to do with 'women vs men', but 'women and men in learning from eachother'
Nawal Tarazi
"I support Female Wave of Change because I believe that team work is an important ingredient of success. With such a group of women who are inspired to share and support, many incomplete circles would be completed, many incomplete projects could be supported, and many new ideas are yet to be presented; because we women are born to inspire, support, care and give but must continue to be strong and positive."
I support Female Wave of Change because I believe that when powerful, committed women like the ones in this group come together, they will bring the positive change that's needed for a world where all can thrive. When we introduce more of the currently underrepresented feminine values into leadership, such as sustainability and social responsibility, the result will be more wealth and freedom for all, and therefore more peace. As we know: When girls and women win, all win. This is a fantastic platform to join forces so together, we can co-create a more inclusive world.
"I support Female Wave of Change because it is an organization collaborating women globally in all walks of life, sharing their wisdom, knowledge, experience and innate passion to help empower others to live their true potential without judgement, discrimination or fear.
It is an honor to be part of this wave of change."
The Netherlands
"I join Female Wave of Change because the connection between women worldwide, creates positive changes in the lives of individuals and communities. I can contribute in my reflections on the common ground we live on. We share one world, one life and we have to take care of it. We need our diversity as humans to achieve this"
"I support Female Wave of Change because I believe that one of the main steps to become a happy and free society is empowering women to become the best version of themselves and therefore multiply the well being of everyone on earth."
The Netherlands
"I join Female Wave of Change because I believe in the power of international collaboration. I am inspired by the broad network of women who are different in age, background and education but who have the same ambition. We can work together on world issues like climate change, poverty, clean water and sanitation and gender equality. Together we can find new solutions, ideas and make real impact!"
New York USA
"I believe in Female Wave of Change because in the VUCA world (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous) we are living in, the feminine archetype of leadership is better adapted. Leadership is that nurtures the long-term; that looks at the whole, sees complex systems and seeks patterns to make sense and find a path; that understands the essence, the environment and the emotion not just the facts; that integrates feeling and intuition with thinking and reason to inspire and catalyze personal agency; and that acts from a place of learning rather than knowing is better adapted to a VUCA world. This is the Female Wave of Change the world needs."
"I join Female Wave of Change because we can lift the voices of those marginalized. It does not start with anyone but us and for this to happen the VOICE needs to be attuned to HIGH. This is not only for us but the future generation of young people to listen to them, the hear them and decipher their voice. Female refugees struggle to have their voice heard for the changes they need for their communities and families"
Sri Lanka
"I join Female Wave of Change because it is a group of like minded women determined to make a positive impact globally. I believe together we are stronger and together we will see change!"
Juliah Chege
"I support Female Wave of Change because we have very many things in common in terms of making women globally better and uplifting them , I commit to promote the FWOC vision as we better all women together."
United Arab Emirates
"I joined Female Wave of Change because I believe change comes from within. When a woman is inspired to be the best she can be, the ripple effect to both herself and those around her is powerful. Female wave of Change is the vehicle that can be used to make this happen"
"I support Female Wave of Change because I believe it is important to bring women's organizations together and have our voices heard on a global scale . I am very excited to be part of this team"
"I join Female Wave of Change because here I can continue propelling feminine influence for sustainable global development"
South Africa
"I support FWoC because I can reach women throughout the world with different background so that we can learn from each other and next generation of women can do better than we have done"

There's nothing quite like going to the movies, taking a little escape from the outside world, having a bag of popcorn bigger than you can hold with both hands and soaking in all the action of the big screen. If any of your loved ones love going to the movies or binging film after film on the sofa, there's a good chance these movie-related gifts will put a smile on their face.
Getting a movie buff the right gift needn't be as hard as trying to get hold of the Death Star plans. We have had a look at some of the latest box office smashes and Hollywood classics to give you some movie gift inspiration that is Oscar worthy.
Beauty and the Beast
Disney fans around the world rejoiced when the live action remake of Beauty & the Beast was released. Just like the original, it became a box office smash and gave a whole new generation the chance to experience one of Disney's best stories. Whether you prefer the new version, or swear that the original is superior, you'll be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't enjoy one of Disney's true classics.
You can treat the enchanted prince or princess in your life (and no, we're not calling them a beast) with a gift more precious than an enchanted rose by whisking yourselves off to Disneyland Paris for a magical weekend away.
You'd be surprised how easy and cheap it can be to spend a few days at the park, and it's more than worth it if you and your beau are Disney fanatics. As well as shops full of all the Disney toys, trinkets and treats you could imagine, it has some classic theme park rides including:
- Big Thunder Mountain
- Phantom Manor
- Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain
- Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril
As well as smaller attractions like It's A Small World and the Mad Hatter's Tea Cups too – ideal if you have any little ones (or scaredy big kids) in tow!
Back to the Future
"The power of love is a curious thing."
Some of the most iconic opening lyrics sung by Huey Lewis & The News at the beginning to one of the greatest films of all time. While it might not be possible to get someone who loves the film a fully functional time-travelling DeLorean, you can always look to Marty McFly's wardrobe for inspiration.
Inspired by the film, Nike recently created 89 pairs of self-lacing Nike Mag shoes just like those worn in the film's sequel. They were sold at auctions around the world for the Michael J Fox foundation, with a few pairs selling for over $100,000 each. A flux capacitor wouldn't even cost that much money.
Our top gift picks for those who really want a Back to the Future themed wardrobe would be:
- A pair of high top sneakers
- A red gilet
- A pair of Doc Brown's "2015" style sunglasses
- A Gray's Sports Almanac Phone Case
- A back to the future t-shit
We've also seen replica hover boards for sale online, but we can't confirm if they'll help you defy gravity just yet.
La La Land
Making a musical in this day and age isn't an easy feat – so making one as good as La La Land is incredibly impressive. When we weren't busy swooning over Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone's romance around the Hollywood Hills, the song and dance extravaganza won five Oscars, including Best Score, Best Song and Best Cinematography. It has become one of the top grossing musicals of all time, trailing just behind Chicago, Grease and the aforementioned Beauty and the Beast.
You might be wondering how it could be possible to capture the idea of such a movie in the form of a gift, and we have two words for you: DANCE LESSONS!
What's more romantic than partnering up and learning how to get your ballroom, salsa or jive on? Beginner classes are usually quite cheap, easy to find, and once you past the initial awkwardness of not knowing which way each foot goes, learning to dance with your partner can be incredibly exciting and a great bonding experience!
But, if you're certain your lack of rhythm is irreversible, you could always settle for a framed print of Ryan Gosling or Emma Stone (whichever you prefer).
Wonder Woman
With D.C. Comics bringing Wonder Woman to the big screen, the long overlooked icon has enjoyed a renaissance recently. The smash hit blockbuster has brought the archetypal Amazonian woman to a whole new generation of fans.
Famed for her instantly recognisably striking costume, general badass-ery and iconic logo, there are loads of gift ideas for any Wonder Woman fan (just as long as they don't expect an invisible jet).
If you go to the gym a lot, you'll probably have noticed lots of people walking about in Superman and Captain America muscle shirts. Thanks to the film's success, there's plenty of Wonder Woman fitness gear out there to help anyone chasing those Amazonian gains get a few more reps in.
If you're a tough love kind of friend, you could always have them prove how much they're a modern Wonder Woman themselves by signing up for a Tough Mudder or Spartan race – why not join them and go after superhero status together?!
Guardian of the Galaxy
Like millions of other people, we were instantly got hooked by the words "I am Groot".
In our opinion, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are some of the best Marvel films, and they're personally our all-time favourite superhero films.
They also have some of the best movie-related gifts. You can actually get your own "Awesome Mix Vol. 1" cassette, loaded with the full soundtrack.
However, these days it can be hard to find a cassette player to play it on, which is why a lot of people are buying the soundtrack for Vols 1 & 2 on vinyl. (It was a very popular gift for Father's Day this year.)
If you already have the soundtrack to stream on your phone, a dancing baby Groot Bluetooth speaker is the perfect portable dancing partner.
Think you have as good an aim as RoboCop does? Then prove it by booking an activity day!
As well as adrenaline-raising sessions like Zombie Survival Experiences, bungee jumping and sports car racing, challenges like:
- Archery lessons
- Paintballing for two (or more)
- Clay shooting
They will certainly appeal to those with decent hand-eye coordination and a competitive streak. You won't be able to hit the target every time (unless you're RoboCop, of course), but practice makes perfect!
The Lego Batman Movie
It is hard to fault a movie like The Dark Knight, but still we think the Christopher Nolan blockbuster just doesn't live up to the brilliance that is The Lego Batman Movie. Sit anyone down to watch that movie and dare them not to laugh. It is pretty much an impossible task.
If you like the creative nature of the movie, you can get some great little gift ideas. Provide the one you love with hours of fun (and a little frustration) by getting a 1000+ piece LEGO set! Nothing brings out the big kid in us all like trying to build a LEGO Batmobile from scratch. (Just mind you don't step on stray pieces.)
Another very popular (and very cute) gift idea we like is putting a mini LEGO Batman figure inside a small picture frame and writing a quote from the movie in it. It makes for a great alternative to having a big movie poster on your wall, can be easily personalised, and nothing says you care like a handmade gift!
The Godfather
This list wouldn't be complete if we didn't talk about the greatest film of all time. Other than a horse's head in their bed, there are plenty of gift options for fans of The Godfather.
Why not make your loved one an offer they can't refuse with a surprise trip to Italy for a few days? Stroll around the likes of Sicily (where the Corleone dynasty originates from), take in the scenery, but watch out for any signs of someone cutting up orange slices. Learn some Italian, enjoy the food and a little chill-out time, and have some laughs over bad impressions of Vito. Just be careful you don't offend the locals.
As the credits roll on this gift guide, we hope you've found the ideal present for any movie fan in your life. Whether they're a comic book fanatic, a musical buff or an action lover, a little imagination can help get a Hollywood style gift without the need for a Hollywood-esque bank heist. Roll out the red carpet for your imagination, and before you know it, you could have your own star on the gift giving walk of fame.
The Guide: we cover the coolest food, beauty, and entertainment trends happening nationwide.

A familiar sight at Carnivals and events across Derbyshire and the North West, the Billerettes are a (nearly) all male majorette dancing troupe. Named after their founder Bill Weston, they perform in short skirts and wigs, raising money for charity. Here they perform in the rain on the carnival field by Torr Vale Road, New Mills, Derbyshire. I have used mainly charcoal in this piece, and the resulting drawing is predominantly black and white. The only colour is the bright orange of the dancers' uniform, and a single gold fish in a plastic bag, (a little girl's Fairground prize.) This is a celebration of a very Northern type of silliness which brings entertainment regardless of the Northern weather.

Developing Teacher Leaders in Math and Science: Content Coaches Mentoring Teacher Leaders
The AMSTI (Alabama Math Science Technology Initiative)-USA Fellows program, a collaboration between a university College of Education and Arts & Sciences, State Department of Education, and local school district, was created to develop Teacher Leaders in AMSTI Mathematics and Science. The specific focus of this research was to examine the mentoring provided to the Teacher Leaders Fellows, and to determine if the professional development provided to the teacher leaders helped them develop mentoring skills to mentor and coach the AMSTI teachers with whom they worked. At the completion of their Fellowship, these AMSTI-USA Fellows returned to become teacher leaders at their home schools, charged with mentoring and coaching teachers in the AMSTI curriculum. The objectives of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of: (1) mentoring the newly identified teacher leader Fellows into the role of teacher leader; and, (2) developing the mentoring and coaching skills in both the affective components and content aspects of the selected AMSTI Teacher Leader Fellows.

MSc International Business & CEMS-MIM 2018
MSc '18, Ivey Business School
Briefly, describe your background and profile. Think about how Ivey is/will complement your own personal background and experience.
Having finished my undergraduate degree in consumer behaviour, I realized that I wanted to take my career to the next level. I had spent a lot of time abroad during my time at Western and discovered that travel was something I was incredibly passionate about. I was looking for a way to merge my desire for career success as well as my desire to become a global citizen. I wasn't content with settling and I realized that Ivey would provide the education and soft skills I needed to help accelerate my career as well as providing the network I needed to help me work around the world.
Think back to when you were researching business schools. What did Ivey offer you that other schools did not? What made it a good fit for you?
For me, it was the ability to do a degree where I would be able to get not only a rigorous North American master's degree, but also the opportunity to study at some of the world's best business schools. As well, the ability to gain the CEMS accreditation, which carries an incredible network throughout Europe and Asia, aligned perfectly with my goals. This combination was something totally unique that I couldn't find anywhere else.
Talk about one of your most memorable "Ivey" moments to-date – how does that moment 'sum-up' the Ivey experience?
I think the most memorable experience was probably working on a project that involved doing EEG (Electroencephalography) scans on fellow classmates for a Customer Insights class with General Mills. It was something completely new and innovative, and the ability to partner with a major company as a student was incredibly exciting.
Think about the relationships you've built with students, staff and faculty.
The faculty are some of the best in the world and genuinely care for the success of their students. I've never experienced this in a university setting before. If you demonstrate an interest and a passion, they'll go above and beyond to help you achieve your goals.
I think I was most nervous about what kind of people my classmates would be. I was worried they would be hyper-competitive and unapproachable. I found this couldn't be further from the truth. The MSc students are an incredibly diverse bunch from all different backgrounds, and our diversity makes us incredibly welcoming and supportive of each other.
What are your plans after Ivey? What do you hope to achieve by graduation?
After graduation I hope to work in Management Consulting or Marketing, then perhaps go back to school and pursue my PhD in Neuromarketing in the United States.
What advice would you give to prospective students considering Ivey?
I would say you should reach out to a current MSc student and get their opinion. It's one thing to read brochures or do campus tours, but getting a first-hand perspective will be invaluable in determining if you're the right fit for the program.
Describe a moment you've experienced inside or outside the classroom at Ivey that you will never forget.
I'd say the most memorable thing would probably be our CEMS Club Canada networking trip to Toronto. It was great to get out of London and have some fun with my classmates.

Smartphones May Ruin Kids' Camp Experience, Researchers Say.
HealthDay (5/19) reported that taking a smartphone to camp may ruin children's "camp experience," research indicated. After surveying some "620 camp directors, nurses and other staff members at 331 camps in the United States and Canada," researchers found that "campers were so fixated on their phones that they didn't fully engage in camp activities." The findings were recently presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies meeting.
New Apple App Will Let Parents Set Time Limits On How Long Their Kids Can Use Apps.
The NPR (6/4) "The Two-Way" blog reports that on June 4, Apple "announced a new app to allow users to get reports on how much their kids are using particular apps on their iPhones and iPads." The app, called Screen Time, "will let parents set time limits on how long their children can use apps, from Netflix to Snapchat, said Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering." In addition, the app will allow parents "to limit access to some apps and websites," and one option is even "designed to get kids to unplug from their devices at bedtime."
Nearly Half Of Parents Concerned Their Kids May Be Addicted To Mobile Devices.
The CBS Weekend News (6/2) reported children eight and under "spend an average of two hours and 19 minutes in front of a screen every day," and 47 percent of parents worry their children may be addicted to mobile devices. Caroline Knorr, senior parenting editor, Common Sense Media, said parents are "struggling with how to reap the benefits of technology while minimizing some of the risks," and suggested "paying close attention to kids' demeanor while using their devices, and creating a schedule with guidelines on the types of tech activities they can do and for how long."
Parents Need To Talk To Their Kids About Sexting At A Young Age, Psychologist Says.
In the New York Times (3/12, Subscription Publication) "The Checkup" blog, Perri Klass, MD, spoke with "Sheri Madigan, a psychologist who was first author of a large study on digital sexual activity published at the end of February in the journal JAMA Pediatrics." Madigan recommended that parents begin talking to their children about sexting at a young age. For teenagers, "parents need to be willing to consider the idea that sexting may happen in the context of healthy relationships, Dr. Madigan said." Still, parents "need to be willing to go over more problematic scenarios, including what happens if the relationship ends, especially if photos have been sent."
- From the American Academy of Pediatrics from 2009
One in five teens participates in "sexting," according to a nationwide survey by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy. The emotional pain it causes can be enormous for the child in the picture as well as the sender and receiver — and often involves legal implications.
Parents should talk with children about sexting before a problem arises and introduce the issue as soon as a child is old enough to have a cell phone, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The following tips from the AAP can help parents have a conversation with children about sexting:
Ask kids about the issue, even if it has not directly impacted the community.
Gauge your child's understanding of sexting and then offer an age-appropriate explanation. Alert younger children with cell phones who do not yet know about sex that text messages should never contain pictures of kids or adults without their clothes on, kissing or touching each other in ways that they have never seen before. For older children, use the term "sexting" and give more specific information about sex acts they may know about. For teens, be specific that "sexting" often involves pictures of a sexual nature and is considered pornography.
Make sure kids of all ages understand that sexting is considered a crime in many jurisdictions. In all communities, there will be serious consequences if they sext, possibly involving the police, suspension from school and notes on their permanent record that could hurt their chances of getting into college or finding a job.
P.S. It is my understanding that even being the passive recipient of an unsolicited sexting message is a Federal crime with serious consequences. Advise your child NOT to delete the communication but to show you and tell you about it. Even when "deleted" the communication may yet remain on the hard drive of the electronic device. Should you and your child find yourself in this situation, get formal advise from an attorney about what to do.

In case you missed this one: The Senate Commerce Committee Chairman is concerned with the potential risks associated with kids drinking energy drinks.
The press release from Rockefeller's office:
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Senator Jay Rockefeller said pediatricians have been raising red flags about the serious health problems energy drinks could pose for children, and questioned the wisdom of manufacturers' marketing their potentially harmful products to young people.
Rockefeller, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, on July 31, held a hearing titled, "Energy Drinks: Exploring Concerns about Marketing to Youth." The hearing comes on the heels of a Congressional report issued in April that found several leading energy drink manufacturers are targeting young people with their marketing practices.
"I'm concerned that energy drink companies are aggressively marketing their products to teens on television, and through social media and event sponsorships even as public health experts are raising some serious, disturbing questions about these drinks," Rockefeller said. "With doctors saying that energy drinks pose risks of heart arrhythmia, increased blood pressure and dehydration—particularly among young people—I want to explore whether companies are being responsible in the way they market energy drinks."
Witnesses for the hearing included Dr. Marcie Schneider, a pediatrician representing the American Academy of Pediatrics; Dr. Jennifer Harris, a marketing expert from Yale University's Rudd Center on Food Policy and Obesity; Dr. William Spencer, a Suffolk, County, New York, legislator and physician who spearheaded both a County ban on energy drink marketing to youth and the AMA resolution endorsing such a ban; and representatives of energy drink companies Monster, Red Bull and Rockstar.
According to a 2011 report by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), there was a more than tenfold increase between 2005 and 2009 in emergency room visits involving energy drinks. Of these visits, 11% were made by youths aged 12 to 17 and 45% were made by young adults aged 18 to 25. As a result, the American Medical Association at their annual policy meeting in June adopted a resolution calling for a ban on marketing energy drinks to anyone under the age of 18.
Rockefeller last month wrote letters to the heads of four leading energy drink companies asking for information on their marketing practices ahead of the hearing.
The Kanawha-Charleston Health Department is holding five walk-in school vaccination clinics in August.
Clinics are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Aug. 7; 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Aug. 8; 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 9; 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 12; and 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Aug. 13.
Seventh-grade students are required to have diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DtaP or Tdap) boosters, as well as one dose of a meningococcal vaccine.
Twelfth-grade students must have a Tdap booster and one dose of meningococcal vaccine after they turn 16.
A full list of recommended vaccines are available at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules.
Parents are asked to bring all vaccine records. For a registration form, cost and insurance information, visit www.kchdwv.org.
Check out the CDC's 2013 Breastfeeding Report Card here.
From today's Charleston Daily Mail:
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Although more mothers seem to be breastfeeding, West Virginia still lags behind the national average, new data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show.
Over the past decade, breastfeeding rates nationwide have been trending upward. The number of mothers who started their newborns out on breast milk stood at 71 percent in 2000. In 2010, the number had climbed to 77 percent.

On Monday, a release was sent out noting that U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, along with Senators Jay Rockefeller and Joe Manchin announced funding awarded to Prestera Center to help with substance abuse and mental health.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall, along with Senators Jay Rockefeller and Joe Manchin (all D-W.Va.), Monday announced Federal funding has been awarded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to Prestera Center to expand and increase patient access to mental health treatment and substance abuse recovery support services.
"The hard work of addressing the problems of prescription drugs in our region is underway, and funding like this can go a long way in addressing the treatment needs and demand in our communities," said Rahall, who is a co-chairman of the Congressional Prescription Drug Abuse Caucus. "I will keep right on working side-by-side with our communities to fight for federal resources that will save lives and ensure needed access to care in our State."
"Giving our community organizations that specialize in substance abuse support for their work is vital to combating our statewide prescription drug abuse problem. This is a much deserved and needed boost for Prestera Center in Huntington, and for the dedicated staff that's working so hard to help people in their community who are battling addiction," said Rockefeller. "This is a heartbreaking epidemic for our state, and I won't stop looking for ways to help those suffering until we end this problem.
"Drug addiction hurts more than just the person abusing drugs; it hurts loved ones, hinders job creation and destroys communities," said Manchin. "To combat our drug abuse epidemic around West Virginia and across America, we must continue funding critical programs like these that will improve mental health services to those who are seriously struggling with addiction. The bottom line is that the toll drug addiction is taking on jobs, families and communities must stop.
Prestera Center for Mental Health Services, headquartered in Huntington, will receive a $280,000 Mental Health and Substance Abuse Service Grant to expand its Technology Assisted Care (TAC) telemedicine capabilities to reach clients throughout its eight-county catchment area, providing improved access to services and coordinated recovery support to improve health outcomes for 2,000 clients over the course of the three year program. Prestera expects a minimum of 900 individuals will utilize its expanded telemedicine capabilities to manage their medications, access their care provider or receive specialty services which are otherwise unavailable to them. Through the Center's existing certified electronic behavioral healthcare system clients can obtain treatment and specialty care without barriers such as transportation, lack of qualified provider, or stigma which may be inhibiting their access to care.
The program "Doctors On Call" has celebrated 700 episodes. The program features physicians and health professionals. As per a WVU Health Release:
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – As WVU Hospitals' Ruby Memorial celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, another impressive milestone has been reached. This week marks the 700th episode of "Doctors On Call" (DoC), a statewide program on West Virginia Public Television that features WVU Healthcare physicians and other health professionals.
When "Doctors On Call" debuted on Jan. 14, 1993, it was instantly popular with viewers throughout the state. But no one would have predicted that the live, medical call-in show would still be on the air more than 20 years later, as few things last that long on television. Today, the phone lines still ring off the hook, and doctors donning makeup sit under the set's bright lights to answer as many viewers' questions they can fit into a half-hour show.
"Doctors On Call," a joint production of West Virginia Public Broadcasting, WVU Healthcare and WVU Health Sciences, began as a way to reach people in the far corners of the state with up-to-date medical information.
"It really took off immediately because people were so hungry for information about their health," Amy Johns, producer of DoC and director of public affairs for WVU Healthcare, said. "Now, even though there are so many more options readily available for such information, the program is still relevant. I think one of the reasons is the interactive nature of the show. Another is the positive reputation of the healthcare experts at WVU."
"The program has provided a great forum to enhance awareness of health issues throughout West Virginia," Bruce McClymonds, president and CEO of WVU Hospitals, said. "It has enabled West Virginians to learn and ask questions about critical issues impacting their health."
"Doctors On Call" wasn't the educational institutions' first foray into television. Since 1990, WVU doctors have been sharing their wisdom on the WVU Health Report, first on WCHS-TV in Charleston, then a few years later on evening news broadcasts throughout the state. The health reports now appear on West Virginia Media stations in Clarksburg (WBOY-TV), Charleston-Huntington (WOWK-TV), Beckley (WVNS-TV), and Wheeling (WTRF).
Both television efforts initially featured former WVU Vice President for Health Sciences and Dean of the WVU School of Medicine Robert D'Alessandri, M.D., who became popularly known as "Dr. Bob." Dr. D'Alessandri considered the television programs "natural extensions" of the mission of the health sciences at WVU. Current WVU Chancellor for Health Sciences Christopher C. Colenda, M.D., M.P.H., agrees.
"As a way to bring medical and health information to the citizens of West Virginia, 'Doctors On Call' and the health reports have been a tremendous success. From Dr. Bob to Dr. Rolly (Sullivan), all of the WVU hosts and their experts have been focused on one vision – to transform lives and eliminate health disparities," Dr. Colenda said.
Many WVU Healthcare doctors, even those initially reluctant about appearing live on television, have become comfortable in front of the camera and consider the television shows to be a valuable way to communicate with patients.
"It is a real honor to be invited into the living rooms of so many West Virginians each week as we try to do our part to help improve their health and wellness," Arthur Ross, M.D., M.B.A., dean of the WVU School of Medicine, said. "We value these partnerships and look forward to many more episodes to come."
Rolly Sullivan, M.D., an addiction specialist for WVU Healthcare, hosts the WVU Health Reports and "Doctors On Call." Other hosts for Doctors On Call are pediatric cardiologist John Phillips, M.D.; pediatric infectious disease specialist Kathy Moffett, M.D.; orthopaedic surgeon Joe Prudhomme, M.D.; and gynecologist Mahreen Hashmi, M.D.
The topic for this week's 700th "Doctors On Call" is lung problems. The show airs at 8 p.m. on Thursday nights. Upcoming topics are vascular problems, breast cancer and joint problems. Recent WVU Health Reports focus on spinal deformities in children, travel vaccines and heart health. All shows and reports are posted to WVU Healthcare's YouTube channel: www.YouTube.com/WVUHealthcare.
Viewers of DoC can learn about upcoming topics and provide feedback and requests on the program's Facebook page: www.facebook.com/DoctorsOnCallWVU.
A Charleston pharmacist is lending support for a new scholarship. As per Marshall University:
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Dr. Kevin W. Yingling, dean of the Marshall University School of Pharmacy, announced today creation of a new endowed scholarship fund, the Paula Campbell Butterfield Scholarship for the School of Pharmacy.
The scholarship is named in honor of Paula Campbell Butterfield, a pharmacist and longtime owner of Trivillian's Pharmacy, an iconic independently owned pharmacy in Charleston. Butterfield, who completed her pharmacy degree at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, has owned and operated Trivillian's for more than 30 years.
In announcing the scholarship, Yingling praised Butterfield for her years of mentoring young women and men in the field of pharmacy.
"Ms. Butterfield's generosity is obvious, not only in her willingness to create a scholarship for our students, but in her every-day commitment to mentoring young pharmacists in the field," Yingling said. "Additionally, she is the epitome of what a community pharmacist should be – a valued member of the health care team dedicated to educating her patients about their medications and how to use them safely."
The Paula Campbell Butterfield Scholarship for the School of Pharmacy will be awarded to a recipient who is a full-time student at the school and a resident of West Virginia. First preference will be for a female student who lives in Kanawha County or an adjacent county (Jackson, Roane, Clay, Nicholas, Fayette, Raleigh, Boone, Lincoln or Putnam). The recipient must have and maintain a 3.0 GPA.
The award is renewable.
For specific information on the scholarship, contact the Marshall University Office of Financial Aid at 304-696-3162.
HealthDay News put out a release recently about men skipping breakfast. Those who do have a 27 percent higher chance of suffering a heart attack or developing heart disease than those who eat breakfast.
The study confirms earlier findings that have linked eating habits to elevated risk factors for heart disease, the Harvard researchers said.
"Men who skip breakfast are more likely to gain weight, to develop diabetes, to have hypertension and to have high cholesterol," said Eric Rimm, senior author and associate professor of epidemiology and nutrition at Harvard School of Public Health and associate professor of medicine at the Harvard Medical School.
For example, breakfast skippers are 15 percent more likely to gain a substantial amount of weight and 21 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, earlier studies have reported.
The new study, published July 22 in the journal Circulation, found that these men also indulged more heavily in other unhealthy lifestyle choices. They were more likely to smoke, engage in less exercise and drink alcohol.
"We've focused so much on the quality of food and what kind of diet everyone should be eating, and we don't talk as often on the manner of eating," said Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, a preventive cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "This study is not even discussing the type of food. It's just talking about behavior and lifestyle choice. Part of heart-healthy living is eating breakfast because that prevents you from doing a lot of other unhealthy things."
For the new report, researchers analyzed data culled from a 16-year study of nearly 27,000 male health professionals that tracked their eating habits and overall health from 1992 to 2008. During the study period, 1,572 of the men developed heart disease.
The study also found a 55 percent increased risk of heart disease in men who regularly indulge in late-night snacking. However, the researchers did not consider this a public health risk because few men reported eating after they'd gone to bed.
Rimm said there are several possible explanations why skipping breakfast can have such a drastic effect on heart health.
The Harvard study found that men who skip breakfast do not pick up another meal later in the day, which Rimm said indicates that they tend to "feast" on higher-calorie meals when they do eat. Previous studies have found that feasting can result in high cholesterol and elevated blood pressure, compared with nibbling smaller meals.
"It's the extra strain on the body of eating more calories during the few times in a day they do eat," he said.
The type of food that a person consumes during breakfast also might be a factor. "Breakfast is typically a time when people tend to eat a healthy meal," Rimm said. "By skipping a meal that usually features fiber or fruit or yogurt, you're missing out on an occasion where people can get healthy nutrients."
Younger men tend to skip breakfast more frequently than older men, the investigators found, which leads to another possible explanation. "It may be in line with the fact that these are men who are rushing out to stressful jobs and not eating along the way," Rimm said, noting that stress is bad for heart health and is associated with negative lifestyle choices such as drinking or smoking.
The study did not include women, but Steinbaum believes the same pattern likely occurs in women who skip breakfast. "There haven't been any studies independently on women, but I would suspect we would find the same outcomes," she said.
Rimm said the study reinforces the age-old emphasis on breakfast as a key to good health.
"There is so much we know about reducing risk of heart disease, and some things like exercise or quitting smoking take quite a bit of effort," Rimm said. "But it is easy without a big huge financial or time commitment to have breakfast, even if it is a bowl of oatmeal or a bit of cereal before you start the day."

Bill Dance Joins the Growing Stable of Top-Level Anglers Relying on Lure Lock
Ettrick, Wisconsin – Lure Lock is excited to announce that it has entered into a multi-year partnership with legendary fishing icon and TV personality, Bill Dance. Bill Dance has grown his brand into a multi-media empire, stemming from his success during the early days of the Bassmaster Tournament Trail and into two television shows, Bill Dance Outdoors and Bill Dance Saltwater Outdoors.
"Without a doubt the partnership with Bill is a big for Lure Lock, Bill and his iconic and unique position in fishing industry is something that easily fits alongside the Lure Lock brand," stated Jessica Kriesel, Lure Lock Marketing Coordinator. "From his recognizable Tennessee hat, to the catchy intro song on his TV shows, Bill introduced many people to fishing and sticks in their minds today, just like fishing tackle sticks in our Lure Lock cases."
Bill was on hand and in the Lure Lock booth at the recent Bassmaster Classic Expo to greet fans and demonstrate the holding power of the proprietary gel in the Lure Lock cases.
"I can't even begin to count how many tackle boxes and storage cases I've used…and destroyed over the years of fishing tournaments and filming TV shows," laughed Bill. "It takes a lot for me to lift up my sunglasses and take a closer look at things in the fishing industry these days and when I first saw the Lure Lock cases, I almost even took off my Tennessee hat….almost! These cases will make traveling around filming our TV shows so much easier, as I know my tackle will arrive securely in place, undamaged and ready to go."

I've needed to accomplish this for three years now. You've no strategy how often I've fantasized about this, I said. What, you believe I have not observed you stare at my bum all now? Some days I walk by your table, simply because I know I'll have your attention. Wait, you have been contacting me any office mom for three years. Does which make that weird? she asked. Oh hell, I hadn't actually thought about that. I think we only had company incest, I said, joking at my very own joke. Luckily, she laughed as well. Then she rolled off me, made onto her part, and offered me another extended enthusiastic kiss. Ok, so, we can't do this again, for a number of reasons. I recently wished to many thanks for being so sweet, and nurturing so much about me, but I think I will have allow it escape hand. I assurance that was not my goal, she said. Kissing me extended and hard Free Live Xxx Chat | Free Live Sex Web Cam Chat | Free Sex Online Cam | Free Live Web Sex Cam | Free Couple Live Sex Cam | Free Sex Webcam Online | Live Sex Adult | Divasex | Sex Show Live Cam Xxx Hd | Free Live Webcam Xxx | again. I believe you are absolutely correct, we positively shouldn't try this again. To any extent further, we should truly move to 1 of our properties, or get a hotel room, I said with a laugh. You stop it, I'm being significant, she laughed. Striking me in the neck playfully. One more extended kiss. We better get fully up, before some body hikes in on us. We equally remain up, and started getting her clothes. She seems so lovely placing her panties on, and then her bra. Viewing her today, in just her vivid red bra and bright red panties, she appears just how I pictured her this morning when she began this full ball a rollin. Taking up my pants, I zipper up and belt up, and hand her gown to her. She places it on, and converts her right back in my experience, in a silent request for help. I grab the zip, and fall it up the back. She turns around and we hug again. I really hope you could actually let some water off in the shredder room. I am gonna allow you actually eradicate those papers today, I Free Sec Cam claimed with a smirk. That's certainly the most enjoyment I have ever endured in this room. Therefore, do you consider you'll have the ability to keep both hands to your self now? We can not get also relaxed together, or we'll get found, she said. Oh not really a chance. You have no idea how frequently I've been tempted to grab your butt when you are filing. Now I know I am gonna provide into that twenty temptation, until you inform me to prevent of course. I do have another question though. Did you wear that attractive orange dress today, just therefore I'd question you if you'd any red on? I ask. Oh you're excellent Mark, she answered. She turns and picks up the field, to put it on the table, and obviously provides me a good see of her ass. While looking at her bum, just as before, I detect a sizable bright glob of cum sliding down her inner thigh. I swear I just believed my wang twitch again.
When she made to consider me she did not return the grin straight away, and looked like she could have been upset. While
only return to my desk, and take to to find out ways to focus on work. Today it's 1:15pm, and I recently delivered from my workplace, after coming off to the bathroom to jerk off. I don't generally do that at work, but someone had filled my mind with lust. I would be happy that it needed three hours for the temptation to eventually get over. I change towards my computer and I hear Janie's really common high heel shoes on the hardwood floor. God darn that's the best sound, since I understand I arrive at see her attractive feet in those heels. I change to gawk at her, as normal, and recognize she is carrying a box of papers. It looks somewhat heavy, but she does not appear to be she is truly experiencing it. In either case, I see the opportunity simply to communicate with her again. Can I allow you to with this box? I ask. It seems heavy. It's not that bad, I'm just going to the shredder to hit off some steam, she answers. I insist, I say, achieving out to take the package from her.

My mother grew up on a farm in Michigan. She often told us stories about following behind the tractor, dropping tomato seeds into perfectly spaced holes. Her job as a child was to feed the chickens. They raised their own steer, so she had way too much red meat growing up. I can hardly think of a time that I saw her willingly eat steak or hamburger. She always talked about learning a bit of Spanish from the migrant workers who helped them out every year. She also developed a passion for teaching as she taught their children some English.
Growing up on a farm gave my mother different perspectives on life. She was very much into home-cooked meals. She taught me the joys of scrambled eggs with hamburger (a.k.a. heart attack in a skillet, but dammit, it was good!). She didn't believe in wasting food nor resources and had a great appreciation for the outdoors. It also taught her about hard work and dedication, something passed down to both of us.
My mother married a city boy and ended up leading a relatively city life. In a way, it was like they compromised, as our store and apartment were placed on a full acre of land. We did have opportunities to visit aunts, uncles and cousins who were continuing somewhat of a farming life. I have fond memories of being dragged around on an ancient pony named Captain and sitting on Uncle Paul's lap steering the tractor. Weddings were complete with square dancing. I think I was the only one of my friends growing up who had any idea how to do it.
We knew that Mom was slipping many years ago when my cousin finally had to tear down the old barn that her father had built by himself. It was a safety hazard and beyond repair. Every time my parents would go visit my father's mother in her assisted living facility, they would meander over the state line to drive past the old farms. It was a shock when the barn was gone, but Mom relived its demise time and time again, every time they drove past.
When I was working toward moving Mom to the facility where Dad originally wanted her placed, I was amazed by the special courtyard in the secure ward. Painted on the large fence is a farm scene, with a large red barn, just like the one my grandfather had built. At first, Mom seemed to appreciate the fence as a work of art. But very quickly she seemed to think of it as a real farm. I remember hearing her tell some visitors about taking care of her farm and pointing out the window. It warms my heart to know that perhaps she is living back in her heyday on that farm with her parents and siblings.

Fixed penalty notices are issued for motoring offences, including speeding, driving while using a handheld phone or driving without insurance.
What is a Penalty Charge Notice (FPN)
There are two types of Fixed Penalty Notices:
- Endorsable – you receive a fine and penalty points on your driving licence.
- Non-endorsable – is a fine only.
The Fixed Penalty Notice usually issued as an on the spot by the police for a traffic violation. In most cases; you will receive a fine and an 'endorsement' on your driving record with penalty points.
You can also receive an FPN via the post, for instance, if caught on camera for speeding or a red light offence.
The FPN is no substitute for the motorist who commit the most serious of offences. Those drivers will go to court where they can expect to face higher charges penalties.
Endorsable Fixed Penalty Notices
An endorsable fixed penalty notice is for the majority of traffic offences; you receive a fine of £100 or more, plus your driving licence is endorsed with between 3 and 11 penalty points.
Endorsable PCN's offences include for:
- Speeding.
- Driving through a red light.
- Using a mobile phone while driving (£200 and six penalty points).
- Pedestrian crossing offences.
- No insurance (£300 and six penalty points).
Each traffic offence has a set amount of penalty points that can go on your driving licence.
If you receive twelve or more penalty points within three years, you will receive an automatic driving ban of at least six months.
For some driving offences, you will have to retake your driving test.
Endorsable penalty points must remain on your licence for 4 or 11 years depending on the offence, although they will only count for tot-up purposes for three years.
Non-Endorsable Fixed Penalty Notices
A Non-Endorsable FPN is for parking and lesser traffic offences. And carry a fine of between £50 and £100 subject to the violation, but no penalty points on your driving licence.
Examples of non-endorsable offences include:
- Driving and not having a current MOT.
- Failure to comply with a traffic sign.
- Failing to wear a seatbelt.
- Parking offences, such as blocking a junction.
New drivers – beware of PCN's
You will lose your licence if you get 6 or more points within two years of passing your test.
Any penalty points on your provisional licence that haven't expired will be carried over to your full licence when you pass your test. However, your licence will be revoked if you get any further penalty points that take you up to a total of 6 or more within two years of passing your driving test.
If your licence is revoked within 2 years, you'll have to apply and pay for a new provisional licence and pass both the theory and practical parts of the driving test again to get a full licence.

Ultimate 6er | The Bittersweet End of Summer
It's a well-known (if not scientifically documented) fact that as we get older, we start complaining more about the weather. Sit near an old man on a park bench sometime, there's really no condition that he can't find fault with. Too hot. Too cloudy. Too much humidity. Lots of hot air these days; very few cool breezes. Nothing's ever right or as good as it used to be. EDM music and so forth…
What if you like warm weather, yet long for the beers of winter? What about those of us who hate driving in the snow, but love football? People who are in limbo during this time of year want some beers that can meet the needs of any climate. The changing of the seasons truly is a bittersweet symphony, and as we clumsily straddle the fence that separates pre-autumn excitement from end-of-summer blues, let's look at six tasty brews that that can help us savor the remaining warmth while preparing for the imminence of gawking leafers and poorly raked yards.
Peachra Milkshake IPA | New Image Brewing (Colorado)
Late summer is peach season around the Centennial State. A little-known fact about Colorado is it has some of the sweetest, tastiest peaches in the world. Something about the big temperature swing from day to night on the Western Slope really brings out the sugar in the fruit. New Image Brewing is one of the hottest breweries in the state, and they know their way around a hazy, hoppy brew or two.
Brewed with Citra hops, peaches and lactose, this milkshake IPA is a perfect way to hold on to the last few weeks of summer as you bask in its subtly sweet, hoppy goodness.
It's National IPA Day and this is Peachra from New Image Brewing Company! A 6.5% India Pale Ale brewed with Citra hops, lactose, and peaches. Fruity, hoppy, and mildly sweet, they call it a Milkshake IPA and it is delicious! #craftataltitide . . . @nibrewing #newimage #newimagebrewing #peach #peachra #beersnob #happyhour #nationalipaday #ipa #craftbeerporn #drinkcraftbeer #drinkcraft #goodbeer #craftbeer #craftbeerphoto #craftbeerlove #craftbeernerd #craftbeercommunity #craftbeerlover #craftbeerlife #craftnotcrap #craftbeerculture #craftbeerjunkie #craftbeers #CraftDedication #beertography #beerphoto #brewtography #beerpics This image is copyright protected by tkphotographics and the5280beergeek. Please ask permission to repost and include image credit in your caption | @the5280beergeek
Project Dank IPA | La Cumbre Brewing (New Mexico)
Much like the never-give-up affinity for clear IPAs that some people have, fans of the hit show "Breaking Bad" have had a hard time filling the hole that Walter White blew off our collective faces when the show ended a few years ago. Fortunately, in late-summer we do have the awesome (if less violent) "Better Call Saul" to help ease some of the pain. What better way to enjoy a good TV show binge than with a beer recipe that would've made Heisenberg proud?
Made in Albuquerque, Project Dank is a tasty hop bomb from the folks at La Cumbre. Though the grains and hop varieties change slightly from year to year, one thing remains the same: delicious, dank, hop-heavy beer. Now available in cans!
Graham Cracker Porter | Denver Beer Co. (Colorado)
Soon we'll be out of weekends that are warm enough to camp outside comfortably. It's important to grab a tent, find (or make) some friends, buy a few bars of chocolate and a bag of marshmallows, and head to your nearest campground for s'mores. Why we love to fire-roast food with a filthy stick we just found on the ground may never be known.
But whether you like your marshmallow nicely toasted on all sides, or you're one of those sociopaths who burns the marshmallow intentionally, Denver Beer Co.'s Graham Cracker Porter is the perfect brew to complement your campsite cookery. Its slightly sweet flavor is balanced by a subtle smoke, and its easy-drinking ABV invites you to come back for s'more some more. We're better than that. No puns, not today.
Kilt-Lifter Scotch Ale | Moylan's Brewery (California)
Most Scotch ales are a bit heavy for summer, but they're also mild in comparison to some of the high-ABV booze-bombs that are ubiquitous in winter. This makes Kilt-Lifter perfect for an end-of-summer transition to pre-season football. California's experienced a bit of a shake-up lately when it comes to its football teams, but Moylan's Kilt-Lifter has been around for years and doesn't look to be going anywhere soon.
Malty but smooth, this wee heavy is a great example of the style. If you're looking for something to fill the beer gap between football training camp and pre-season, this should be in your seasonal rotation.
Pump[KY]n Bourbon Barrel-Aged Pumpkin Porter | Avery Brewing Co. (Colorado)
With pickle pastry boba guano stouts and glitter beer, it seems a bit odd that there's so much hate toward pumpkin beers in some circles of the craft-drinking world. Late in the summer, we start seeing pumpkin brews hit the shelves; whether you love 'em or hate 'em, it's hard to deny that one of the kings of the style is Avery's Pump[KY]n.
Despite its staggeringly high ABV, Avery manages to tame the booze and bring out the best elements of beer, pumpkin and bourbon all at once to create a highly sought-after seasonal craft beverage.
Stickee Monkee Central Coast Belgian Quad | Firestone Walker (California)
Stickee Monkee is one of those beers that you can probably drink year-round. It's not quite as heavy in the gut as a stout, but it's a definite departure from the lighter Belgian-style brews that come around in summer. As we hit the end of outdoor concert season, it's important to have a beer that's versatile. You don't want to be stuck out on a nippy night with nothing more than a lager to keep you warm. On the other hand, you don't want to choke down a thick, milky stout if it's 80 degrees.
The Sticky Monkey is a flower native to the central coast of California, and the brew pays homage to the Belgian monks who pioneered the quad style. It doesn't leap out at you as a Belgian, however, with its incredible balancing act between hoppy, malty, sweet and strong.
I think for beer and many other cocktail / food tastes, our seasons have a big impact! Great recommendations – personally looking forward to the beers of fall!
Great recommendations, thanks! There are so many delicious options to try!

Rotibox Bluetooth Beanie Hat : I am delighted with this item
- By : Aldi Stico
- Category : Skullies & Beanies
- Tags: Rotibox
Supplied charging cable does not work at all -poor quality. Used cable off a camera instead. Nice enough hat,pairs easily with samsung and i-phone,pleasant sound.
Great little hat listening to my music. But if someone rings its hard to hear them.
Perfect christmas present for a teenager.
Bought this for my dad for fathers day, with the idea of using it during the winter/ ski season, but he's enjoying so much that he's using it during all cold periods of the year. The music quality itself is worth the money, and even more so with it embedded in the beanie hat.
The Latest Blutooth V4.1 Technology: Easy and fast to pair with cell phones, tablets and other Bluetooth enabled music devices,wireless range up to 33 feet
Good hat keeps you very warm maybe a little too warm if your doing a few miles walk. A little big in the fitting but i dont mind. Great packing with its own bag. Good battery on the speakers only charged once after a few hours use.
Clever idea not that good sound quality.
Fantastic product and service. 2 thumbs up would recommend.
Style and Tech Combine: 100% soft acrylic,double knitted beanie,keep your head warm and allows you to listen to your music without having to wear additional headphones,the bluetooth stereo headset brings you great sound quality,style and comfort,perfect for gym,fitness,workout,exercise,outdoor sports such as running, skiing, skating, hiking, camping, dog walking, holiday travelling and so on
I am delighted with this item. It should now have arrived in america via my son who left the uk yesterday. I am sure my grandson will think it is great.
Great item, seller was fantastic at getting an issue resolved. Couldn't be happier with product and service.
Have bought two of these for presents for men now and both have said they are brilliant and worn every day to listen to music while they walk.
User-friendly Control Panel: The control panel built-in stereo speaker and microphone on the left earpiece allows you to skip back and forth through your playlist, answer and hang up calls without having to use your phone
Sound quality is better than i expected for the price. It is good enough for when your out and about.
It works and i will use it but was necessary to fiddle with it a lot. The operating buttons on my hat dont quite match up with the battery/speaker inside so you need to practically take it out of elastic holder to operate it. The hat fabric was soft and colour good.
Really warm and the sound quality is actually surprisingly good. The connectivity works from quite far away aswell.
Long-lasting Enjoyment of Music: Built in rechargeable Li-Ion battery,about 6 hours talking/playing time, 2.5 hours charging time,60 hours standby, so you have less time charging and more time doing.(USB charging cable included)
Great value for money; excellent item. Bought as a birthday gift and going to buy another.
Works brilliantly and looks good too.
I bought this as a present for my husband – i don't know much about technology and just thought it sounded cool. He loves it and describes it as one of his top five presents of all time. Apparently the sound quality is amazing and he doesn't have to recharge it very often. So i've scored major brownie – or should that be beanie – points.
My son uses this as he cycles to work. He says it's lovely and warm and the bluetooth works great. I would definitely buy another.
Fully Washable:One size fit most and washable after removing the headphones from the pouches.
Heaphones don't go particularly loud, so traffic can block out the music while out and about. Microphone for receiving calls wouldn't work.
The sound quality is actually very good and the volume is loud enough to overpower the hum drum noise of the city. Love the beanie, its comfortable and i think. The blue tooth headset is just icing on the cake. Excellent product and would recommend to anyone wanting a warm, toasty and happy head/ears.
My experience with this hat is delight tinged with regret it connected no problem to my bluetooth devices the sound output was very pleasing with positive volume / change track controls it is nice and warm to wear but. No charging lead was supplied [ making me think it was possibly another customer's return ?. ]for some reason the control speaker has to cover the left ear and i am right handed . [ unlike the models illustrated ]the beanie is on the small side and will not cover my ears fully [ again unlike the models illustrated ] so the maximum sound experience is diminished shame really so close to being brilliant .
Bought this for my son for xmas, he's always listening to music and absolutely loves this. Battery seems to last a long time between charges too. He hadn't heard of these hats before so it was a really good surprise. Will be on the look out for different designs soon.
Works flawless, does not exclude external sounds so you're still in touch with the environment while listening through the headphones.
'it does what it says on the tin'.

In Mrs. Ridlehoover's and Mrs. Krodman's social studies class, we used a graphic organizer that frames information given in text format. Students were paired to read the section entitled Imperial Russia and decided with their partners which were the important details in the section. The assignment is to complete the framing strategy with the details from the reading.
Additionally, on Monday, you are to bring a pocket folder, the WebQuest contract and any information you print from the WebQuest listed on Mrs. Ridlehoover's blog.

Friday at Mabry will be a time of celebrating our cultural roots. During Social Studies, students will view a video about cultural diversity. After the video, we will have an international tasting. Please bring in a snack that represents your cultural origins. Students always enjoy this treat. Last year, one student brought in Portuguese cupcakes that were delicious! Lunch will offer a variety of ethnic treats: egg rolls, fried chicken, and quesadillas. In the afternoon, we will be treated to a performance by Soweto Street Beat an African dance troupe. Thanks PTSA for making this performance possible. We are excited about International Day!

Have Baggage Will Travel:
A Look at our Personal Journeys
· During the late 1800's, as the United States became a world power, many immigrants arrived looking for work.
· New technology in the 1900's brought a wave of movement to the west.
When our ancestors set out on their journeys across the ocean or across the country to make new lives, they could only take a few items with them. Some of these items might have been cherished photos, a special toy for a child, valuable jewelry or silver, or a special set of clothing.
Suppose you want to leave Marietta, Georgia, for opportunities in a new location. Which items in your life would you like to take with you? Your challenge is to pack a suitcase with things that you would want to have with you in your new life.
· Place the items in a suitcase.
o You may use an actual suitcase, or you can decorate a box as if it is a trunk. It should have a lid if you use a box.
· On an index card, write an explanation of why you included each item. In your explanation, you should include:
o What the item is
o Why you are packing it, its significance or importance
o How it will benefit you in your new location
How will you be graded? Download the rubric at the bottom of this post
· You must include at least 5 items
· Index cards must be included and have at least all the information requested above
· Effort and creativity
This assignment is due on December 2. Have a safe and fulfilling journey!

We have started our study of The United States and Canada. So far we have covered physical geography and are in the midst of climate and vegetation. We have utilized vocabulary concept maps, identified places on and colored maps of North America. Vocabulary cards completed by the students from their concept maps became individual vocabulary Bingo games.
Coming soon...two column notes.

No it's not what you think. We didn't open anybody's head and map their brains! Mind Mapping is a strategy used to put written information into a visual format for easy recall. Since today was "Study the Constitution Day" across Georgia, our class attempted to bring visual meaning to a complex subject. With an easily readable abridged version of the constitution, we first read each paragraph then highlighted important words. After some discussion, we decided how to represent the ideas presented in short phrases and/or pictures. Students were creative in their ideas drawing frames around pictures of men's heads to represent the "framers of the constitution". We made it through Article IV and will continue next week. What comes to your mind when you think of justice (fairness)? Students drew two children sharing a candy bar. Tranquility (calm)? Students drew a still lake with a duck. Liberty (freedom)? Students drew the American flag. Our final task will be to use the mind map to create an essay explaining the Constitution of the United States.

Today we took a vocabulary test over the vocabulary for Section 2 of Chapter 2 in the Geography book. Well, as the title says, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again." Tomorrow we will have another quiz over the words. Please study these definitions. Suggestions for studying can be found in a previous post about studying for spelling words. The same principles apply.

Before someone can go anywhere, they must know where they are. Taking the social studies pre-test seemed a bit daunting to these new sixth graders. Reassuring them that they weren't supposed to know these things, seemed to help them somewhat. By Friday afternoon, they had in fact been exposed to at least two of the ideas that were on the pre-test.
Students received their textbooks and jumped right in. Concept mapping for geography vocabulary was introduced. Together, with my help, the class mapped the word geography finding its dictionary definition, citing ideas that are geography and ideas that are not (synonyms and antonyms,) writing a short scenario applying the meaning of the word, and drawing a picture to demonstrate their understanding.
This week, we will explore the five themes of geography.

Sixth grade social studies is instruction in learning as well as instruction in geography and history. Different types of note-taking strategies are taught as well as strategies for studying and writing. The year begins with a general study of the five themes of geography and pertinent concepts and vocabulary. Study then turns to North America and Canada, followed by Latin America. Europe and Russia round out the primary units of study. Generally, there is time for a fun unit on Australia to end the year.
