Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/3/2019 (591 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
OTTAWA - Canadian Embassy staff in Ethiopia's capital city took part in emergency-response training just weeks ago, two visiting senators said Tuesday as they described watching consular officials spring into action in the aftermath of this weekend's deadly Ethiopian Airlines crash.
The timing of the training proved prescient Sunday after Nairobi-bound Flight 302 plowed into the desert outside the capital city of Addis Ababa, killing all 157 passengers and crew on board, including 18 Canadians.
The senators — Conservative Raynell Andreychuk and Liberal Jim Munson — are on a trip through Africa as part of a cross-party group of parliamentarians that arrived in Addis Ababa less than two hours before the crash. Some of the passengers on their flight were ultimately bound for Nairobi — a popular flight the parliamentary association also took last year.
The two veteran politicians described an embassy that found itself grieving a loss that has reverberated around the country even as they worked around the clock to find out more about the Canadians who were on board the ill-fated flight.
"The strain on the mission, I know what it's like," said Andreychuk, a former ambassador. "I had car accidents, I didn't have a plane crash, but your immediate response is to service the Canadians involved and that means those who perish, but also the families."
The parliamentary association touched down in the capital about 90 minutes before the crash, Munson said in a telephone interview.
"There were people on the plane that I talked to that were going to Nairobi," he said.
"You can't help but stop and think and reflect upon the excitement and the anticipation of those who were coming either to a conference or to go on a safari in Kenya and not make it. It's heartbreaking."
Andreychuk said embassy staff first had to figure out who was on the plane. That meant working with airport authorities, the airline and the Ethiopian government to get information and pass it around the embassy and back to headquarters in Ottawa, which Andreychuk said is sending additional staff to help.
Munson said staff were also going to the crash site and taking calls from families, including some who may want to get to Addis Ababa quickly.
On Monday morning, the parliamentary group was scheduled to have a briefing at the embassy. Instead there was a small ceremony and moment of silence outside the embassy building, where everyone expressed their grief.
Since the crash, a sombre mood has settled over the trip. All of the association's meetings with Ethiopian counterparts and civil society groups have begun with moments of silence, and Canada's embassy has prepared a condolence book that visitors will be able to sign throughout the week.
Andreychuk, who represents Saskatchewan in the upper chamber on Parliament Hill, likened the impact in Ethiopia and on the Canadian delegation there to the bus crash almost one year ago involving the Humboldt Broncos that killed 16 people, including 10 players, and injured 13 more.
"It's like a family loss. You can read it in newspapers, you can see it on television, you can get a tweet, but to have been on ground, we're living it in a way that is unimaginable," she said.
"It's like Humboldt is on my doorstep and so we still live it today. I think this one will be the same."
The Boeing 737 Max 8 crashed six minutes after takeoff Sunday morning, triggering worldwide apprehension about the aircraft, which was also involved in a deadly crash in Indonesia less than five months ago, when Lion Air Flight 610 plunged into the Java Sea 12 minutes after departing the airport in Jakarta. The October 2018 crash killed all 189 passengers and crew on board.
Since Sunday, a growing number of countries have grounded the plane, including China, Germany and the United Kingdom. The U.S. and Canada have not followed suit, citing a lack of information about what caused the latest incident.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with his Kenyan counterpart about the disaster, which also claimed the life of 32 Kenyans. Trudeau and Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta traded condolences to friends and families of the victims, and the prime minister offered additional Canadian support for the ongoing investigation, officials said.
The brief readout of the call from Trudeau's office said the two agreed to share information on the investigation going forward.

How to Adjust an Alternator Beltby Cassandra Tribe
The alternator belt on your car's engine needs to be kept at the proper tightness in order to insure that your alternator is charging correctly. If your belt is too tight, you could shear the bolts of the pulleys, or the belt itself might break off while you are driving. You will need to adjust an alternator belt whenever it has been removed from the car. It's easier to do this with two people, but one person can manage the job, and it will only take about 10 minutes.
Step 1
Feel underneath the alternator to find the bolt that mounts the alternator to the frame. Make sure it is in place and that the rear nut is firmly attached.
Step 2
Loosen the nut on the top bolt of the alternator that passes through a "track" and allows you to position the alternator. You want the nut loose enough so you can easily push the alternator towards and pull it away from the main engine block, but not so loose that the bolt or nut falls off.
Step 3
Pass your alternator belt around the pulleys on the front of the engine block and the alternator itself. You may have to push the alternator toward the engine block to get the belt around the alternator itself. Check your car's manual to make sure you have looped the belt around all the necessary pulleys.
Pull the alternator away from the engine until the belt is tight. You want to be able to press down on the belt at a mid point between two pulleys and only be able to move it downward about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. When you have the alternator in the right position, have an assistant tighten the top bolt and nut to lock the alternator in.
- If you are working alone, use a 2-by-4 piece and wedge it against the engine block, over the alternator body and under your arm, to pull and hold the alternator away from the engine. This was you can use the leverage of your body's weight as an extra set of hands to help you adjust the alternator belt.
- Test the engine before driving. Turn the engine on and listen; if you hear any type of squealing for any length of time (a second to a minute) turn the engine off and re-tighten the belt. Squealing is an early warning that your alternator belt is too loose.

On the program
What to do once you're accepted
If you are accepted into a Semester or Short-Term Exchange program, you will be added to an exchange iLearn unit under the 'Community Units' section where you can access the information required to finalise your exchange program arrangements. You will need to have accepted your offer to be given access to the iLearn unit.
Key items to complete after acceptance into the program include:
- Reviewing all content in the iLearn unit (and reviewing any updates to the unit when advised)
- Preparing a study plan and obtaining academic credit approvals
- Submitting your travel and insurance details form
- Arranging your travel, insurance, visa, and accommodation details
Is accommodation available and guaranteed overseas?
Accommodation is not guaranteed. Exchange universities have staff available to assist students in securing housing.
Will I be able to live on campus at the overseas university?
Students generally choose to live in residential colleges on their host university campuses (very common in North America).
It is recommended that you choose on-campus accommodation if it is available; it is the best way to meet local students and get involved in university life.
Application for housing is often included as part of your application to your host university, but this will depend on the institution — some universities require a separate application for housing.
How do I fill in the travel and insurance details form?
You will receive an email with a weblink to an online form. You will be able to submit the below details to us via this online form. Please ensure that you read the instructions for completing the Travel and Insurance Details Form prior to filling up the form as you can only do it ONCE. You will only be sent this once you have been accepted by the host university. If you are communicating directly with the host university, please ensure you update us once you have received your acceptance from them to avoid delay in grant and/or loan payments.
Details required include:
- Departure Date = date of your departure
- Prog Start Date = Program start date
- Mid Sem Start = Mid semester start date
- Mid Sem End = Mid semester end date
- Prog End Date = Program end date
- Return Date = The date you return to Australia
- Centrelink? = Do you receive Centrelink benefits/payment?
- Copy of your Travel Insurance (PDF format) which needs to be uploaded in the "attachments" field.
Will I need to book my own travel arrangements?
Yes, you are required to make your own travel arrangements.
When should I book my flights?
After you have been notified of your official acceptance to the host university. Should you choose to buy the airfare before this time due to limited flights or prior arrangements, you assume all risk for loss of funds
Do I need to buy travel insurance?
Yes. All students participating in a Student Exchange program through Macquarie University are required to be covered by travel insurance from the day they leave Australia until the day you return.
Macquarie University's insurer, AIG Insurance, will cover you while you are at your host university participating in academic activities, not for leisure activities. Students may either purchase their own insurance policy to cover leisure activities, or extend their coverage with AIG Insurance. It is your choice which policy you purchase, however it is recommended that the coverage meet the following minimum requirements :
- unlimited medical expenses
- Unlimited medical evacuation costs
- at least AU$1 million medical evacuation costs and AU$10,000 repatriation costs
- at least AU$2.5 million in public liability insurance
Please note that it is the student's responsibility to ensure that they are appropriately covered by insurance that suits their personal circumstances, and to know what exactly their travel insurance does and does not cover. You also have the option to top up the university policy for the leisure time you spend prior or after your exchange program. More information can be obtained by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com.
Students will be required to upload a copy of their additional travel insurance as a PDF document through the update request form that will be sent to you at the relevant time.
Will I need to get a student visa?
Most students will need to get a student visa in order to enter their host country. Obtaining a visa is your responsibility, as is abiding by its conditions.
How do I get a visa?
Please apply to the relevant country embassy/consulate.
You will apply for your visa after your official acceptance into the Macquarie University Student Exchange Program and after you have been accepted by your host university.
Your official acceptance by your host university may simply be in the form of a letter of acceptance, or it may be a more sophisticated form of visa documentation (particularly in the case of the USA). You will be required to take this official documentation to the appropriate consulate to apply for your student visa.
If you hold multiple passports, such as an Australian passport and a British passport, we encourage you to obtain a student visa and travel using your Australian passport.
Again, please note that arranging your visa will be your responsibility. The staff at Macquarie International are not authorised to give any specific advice relating to visas.
After exchange
I am trying to enrol into units for the next semester, but am unable to as I completed some pre-requisites on exchange. How can I fix this?
You can request a waiver which allows you to enrol through AskMQ. You will need to upload the transcript from your host university as proof you have passed any prerequisite units while abroad.
I just got back from exchange, how do I ensure I can graduate in the next ceremonies?
You will need to submit an 'I intend to graduate' form via eStudent. When you return, let us know if you are graduating when you provide your host university transcript and we will do our best to ensure your grades are transferred as soon as possible.
My exchange units are not showing up in the correct option space in eStudent. Why is this?
eStudent does not recognise exchange shell units. What the unit represents is written in the course comments section of your transcript. These units are not forgotten, they will be counted along with all other units for you degree completion.

As you read this on Tuesday, I'll be preparing to get back on the road. Since the start of the month I've been moochdocking in my friend Misty's driveway in Texas (a regular occurrence when I come through this part of the country) and it's been great to sit still while working on a solution to losing my Amazon affiliate income. Travel is wonderful and everyone should do more of it, but it's not conducive to getting lots of work done.
But today's the big day! The IO Patreon page is live as of early this morning, and now that I find myself between projects again, the time feels ripe to hit the road.
I get asked a lot what my average day as a full-timer looks like, which is challenging because this lifestyle doesn't lend itself to average. Everywhere you go, every job you take, it's all different and my routine varies from location to location. Never the less, I've given an example of my average boondocking day and my average work-camping day before, and will now do my best to describe the average travel day.
The average travel day actually starts a day or two before the actual traveling, as that's when I plan out my route. In the early days, I'd do this shortly after arriving in a new location and well before departing for the next, but I found that doing it this way I'd frequently change my mind last-minute and have to do the work all over again. And even if I didn't, I'd have forgotten a lot of the details and have to go back the day before anyway to look at it all again.
So by the morning of the travel day, I already know where I'm going and the route I'm taking to get there, more or less.
I wake up, and after breakfast immediately start packing up camp. Even with an RV the size of the Casita, it takes time to get everything put away and sorted. Between prep work and hitching up, it can take as long as an hour and a half to get through the whole process depending on how much I've spread out in camp and how efficient I'm being. If all I have to do is hitch up, I can do that whole process in a half-hour. On shorter travel days, I'll often work on the computer in the morning, and start packing up after an early lunch.
Then I pull up directions on my phone's GPS program, and get on my way.
I usually listen to music while I drive. Early on I would call friends to talk on long drives, but the longer I've been traveling the less need I feel to do this. I've come to enjoy the almost meditative qualities of a long drive taken alone. It gives me time to think about things that I push aside on other days when there's something else to do. I also keep my eyes peeled for blog-worthy things to share, as I pretty much always write travelogues for these days.
A lot of newbies/wannabes have an unrealistic view on what a travel day looks like as a full-timer. I know when I was still in the dreaming stage, I imagined meandering down the road without a care in the world, enjoying the rolling scenery out the windows and being able to stop at any interesting thing I happened across.
The reality is, travel days get tiring. I personally do most of my relaxing once I've arrived at my destination. It takes more concentration to drive a long distance with an RV, as they're larger than a passenger vehicle, handle differently, and you're always aware of bumps and things that could damage your belongings within. The idea of stopping at every point of interest sounds great in theory, in reality you need to constantly assess if you'll be able to safely get in, park, and get out with your rig which ruins a lot of the spontaneity. Plus, there's always a time limit on travel days, even if you have no specific destination to get to – you have to make sure you can find a legal place to spend the night. And it's a lot easier to scout out and park an RV in a new location when it's still light out and you can see what you're doing.
My solution is to drive the Casita from point A to point B and park him, and then use that as a staging point and take my truck to explore things I want to see in the area. If you really like the idea of seeing most of the things you want to see while you travel, you might enjoy a smaller rig like a van/Class B more.
Usually lunch is my biggest meal of the day. On travel days I prefer a rest stop for making lunch, but if I can't find one I'll also stop at truck stops or any other large public lot. I'll take a little walk to stretch my legs, and often I'll read a book while eating.
How long the long the lunch period gets depends on my stop for the night. I often overnight at Walmarts or other businesses, and it's considered bad form to arrive early at these places (or stay late the next day). So I'll extend my lunch to the point that I arrive at my destination as the sun is setting. If on the other hand I'm going to be arriving at a destination I'm going to stay at for a while (campground, boondocking spot, etc.) I may skip or delay lunch to arrive as early as I can, to ensure I get a good spot and give myself as much time to enjoy that area as I can.
When I arrive at my destination, whether it's just one night or if it's going to be several, there's some work to do before I can rest I need to level Cas and do a check to be sure nothing bad happened in transit. I may need to ask permission to stay the night (Walmart etc.), or if I'm going to be staying a while I'll need to unhitch and unpack everything.
After all that's done comes my favorite part of travel days – exploring my new home. There's nothing quite like the glee of getting to know a place for the first time (or getting reacquainted with a place you love) and that feeling is what makes the less desirable parts of travel days completely worth it to me. Happy travels everyone.

I agree that checklists can be helpful. It also occurred to me that you could make your checklists (if you use them) available to supporters on patreon.
I've been reading your blog since last summer when I came across it looking for boondocking spots in southern Colorado. I enjoy your writing quite a lot.

Some excellent advice and commentary about the types of travel and visiting places of interest with a car vs. a RV. My thoughts exactly.
There's one thing I like to do before travel that you didn't mention. Making a departure list. Every trip I make, no matter if it's 2 hour or 8 hour, I've made a list of last minute details I need to take care of. Having a written list in hand assures that everything gets done and nothing important is forgotten. I keep it readily at hand starting a couple days before travel and jot down chores as they come to mind. Then the day before or day of travel, I can leisurely complete each chore and cross it off the list without being in a hurry.
Some RV'ers even have a printed pre-travel check list that they've developed during their travels to avoid costly mistakes.

Thanks for sharing your life with us. You are an inspiration. I'm going to look into your Patreon page and consider contributing. You've given me a lot of value, I think its time to give back.
I think my brother and sister in law are pretty much the same way as they are "overlanding" down in Guatemala right now. (Overlanding is a term I had never heard of before!)
I think if I were to live nomadically, the class B would be the best thing for me because of the pets, meaning the cats. To think of moving them in and out of carriers all the time – ugh. They would hate it and so would I! But if not nomadically, I know a tiny house is the way I want to go.

"Moochdocking" I LOL!
This is really valuable information that I wish we had realized before we went trailer-ing. We bought a new to us travel trailer and thought we would be able to travel in a similar fashion as previously on car/hotel road trips. After our first outing we changed our perspective and now think of the trailer as a cabin with wheels that we will tow to a central destination, park it for a week or more and see the area in our truck.
You will be even more nimble when you get your new rig.
The move to a hiker has me interested. Looking forward to the transition.Will you be selling or trading the casita?
I missed why the Amazon affiliationwas lost. Mind sharing?

Over the past ten years, considerable progress has been made in the management and treatment of CVD. More recently, however, there is a fear that these improvements have been met by a misguided belief that 'the job is done'. There are still around 155,000 deaths per year from heart and circulatory disease in the UK, accounting for more than a quarter of all deaths and costs the UK economy around £19 billion a year.
To address this HEART UK developed a Cholesterol Plan for Government outlining four key recommendations to influence policy around cardiovascular disease (CVD) and encourage greater prioritisation of CVD across the healthcare system.
This Plan for Government was launched in Parliament to a political audience to apply maximum political pressure on Government and the NHS to take more concerted action on the management of cholesterol and implement the recommendations set out by HEART UK. An event platform was the most effective way for a small charity like HEART UK to engage with large numbers of parliamentarians. The event saw HEART UK engage with a total of 103 parliamentarians on the day.
Here we saw great engagement, with clear evidence of the direct impact of cholestorel testing on the event's audience. This led to a bigger change in policy and may well lead to mainingful changes to the patient.

|Bedtime Story Pajamas
So, I decided to make some Bedtime Story pajamas for a BIG bottom!
|I cut out the 3T but traced the leg to the 12-18mnth length
|I neaten the leg seams and crotch seam BEFORE sewing the inner leg
|Press one seam open and up and then fold the other under and press
|This will give you a good flat seam
|Stitch this seam ONCE from top to back and then TWICE more between the notches.
|Trim down to stitching between notches
|Finish the trimmed seam with a wide but short stitch length zigzag.
|The inside view
Now its time to attach the waistband. I do mine similar to the pattern but I reverse the sides sewn first so I get a neat top finish.
|I pre-fold and iron my waistband BEFORE sewing the ends together.
(See the pattern for measurements)
|Pin and sew waistband. Your fold lines should be still visible
|Press you seam open taking care not to press out your fold lines
|Pin the waistband to the INSIDE of the pants.
Right side of waistband to wrong side of pants.
|Using the fold lines, press and pin in place.
The end of the ironing board is useful for this step.
Leave an opening for the elastic.
|Topstitch leaving the opening for elastic
|Thread elastic through the casing pinning the end to the pants so
it is not accidently pulled through. Round the end of the elastic
so that it threads easier
|Pin elastic
|Stitch securely
|The finished waistband
|The two leg bands
|Pin them to the inside of the pants
|Trim the seam
|When sewing small openings it can be easier to sew on the inside
|The inside story!
|Does my bum look big in this?

I dunno how to even start planning the ceremony/vows. I am not really religious and I have no clue what goes into a wedding ceremony
I dunno how to even start planning the ceremony/vows. I am not really religious and I have no clue what goes into a wedding ceremony
lol I have no clue either! I'm not religious so a church or a priest feels awkward- people keep telling us to just do what we want… umm… and this is why we haven't set a date for years and years *shrug*
I posted my full ceremony that might help even a smidge?
@Awesomet317: Our celebrant gave us a book in our first meeting with a bunch of example ceremony layouts, readings and vows we could use if we wanted to. She showed us the certain parts that had to be kept (by law), and we were free to work around with the rest of it. I just went through the book, picked out bits and pieces I liked, and put our whole ceremony together.
Hmm good to know I'll have to email him and see what's up
Our officiant gave us this book it was so helpful! Nothing super religious and it gave tons of examples. We ended up using a lot from the book and then we wrote our own vows. I could send you ours if you would like to see it before you buy the book.
I found a super helpful book! "The wedding ceremony planner" by reverend Judith Johnson. Everything is all broken out and has some fantastic examples on how to design your ceremony.
I searched on here (boards and blog) and found a few examples posted by other Bees and Bloggers and used those to plan my ceremony out. Try that!
If you're not religious, then you'll need to find a civil officiant. That person will be TREMENDOUSLY helpful in planning your ceremony, and don't be shy about asking them for help. You're not expected to know how to plan a wedding ceremony. After all, you've never done it before! However, even if you don't have an officiant yet, there are some questions you can answer for yourself…
1. Is there a passage from a book you've read, or a poem, that really strikes a chord with you? If so, that's something you might use as a reading.
2. Do you want to write your own vows, or would you feel more comfortable with call-and-response style?
3. Do you want to include any rituals like a unity candle or a sand ceremony?
Thinking about these details will set you on your way. Really, all most ceremonies include are a little address to your guests about marriage (or about the couple), the couple making vows, and the couple exchanging rings. It takes about twenty minutes and is very easy.
All the other ladies have excellent advice!
The topic 'Help im so lost on the ceremony part' is closed to new replies.

I've seen a lot of writing about Apple's decision to make Mavericks, iWork (Pages, Numbers, Keynote), and iLife (iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, etc.) free.? For example, in this piece, the focus is on (a) how nice the upgrade looks, syncing the various pieces, and comparing to Android and Windows (competition as a motive):
OS X upgrade is free. Updated apps like Garageband, Pages, Keynote, Numbers and many more Apple suite products are now free. And many of the apps look and act exactly the same and are synched in the iCloud identically so that users can?t even tell if they are using a Mac app or a IOS app unless they look down and see what device their are using. All of these push Apple?s software prowess into the forefront and give them an even greater edge over Android and Windows 8.1 especially when it comes to tablets. Don?t underestimate how important the software announcements made today are to Apple?s over competitive position. This is a big deal for them and their competitors.
And in this Daring Fireball article, the focus is more on bean-counting:
My understanding is that it?s been a long slog to get here ? here being where these apps and all OS updates are available free of charge ? the details of said slog being the sort of convoluted bean-counting that would put anyone who doesn?t wear a green eyeshade to sleep.
But he also hits closer to what I think is the real reason, providing the foundational thoughts here (emphasis added):
At yesterday?s event Tim Cook claimed 64 percent of iOS devices are already running iOS 7. How best to make Mac OS X?s running-the-latest-version number more like that of iOS? By making it free.
But then he turns to competition and pressure on Microsoft.? That may be a side effect, but I don't think it is the "why" in what Apple did here:
This puts Microsoft in a tight spot. Apple gives away software for free in exchange for your buying their hardware. This is not charity. It?s also in marked contrast to Google, who gives away software for free in exchange for selling your attention (and personal information) to advertisers. Apple and Google are squeezing Microsoft from both sides, and the result is that less and less perceived value in the industry resides solely in software.
But I think John Lilly hits it closest to the mark:
...Apple?s marketing event the next day, where Apple notably reduced the pricing of OS X Mavericks, iLife and iWork to effectively zero.
Lots of gnashing of teeth, pontificating, blogging about it. Lots of misunderstanding, too. [.... ]
Right, we're on the same topic... (emphasis added)
Sometimes people call Apple a hardware company, but that?s not quite right. Others have said they?re a software company, pointing out that it?s the quality of the software experience that really sets them apart, but that?s not quite right either. Having watched Apple for nearly 30 years now, and having worked at 1 Infinite Loop, I really think they think of themselves as a personal computing systems company and always have.
Okay... and as a systems company:
Pretty easy to see, in your mind?s eye, Apple taking care of their systems business, their cup of water???and thinking that getting people on the most modern versions of their software both increases the quality of the systems they sell and sort of pushes on Microsoft?s software-oriented cup of water.
Or to bring it back to Apple's view of the system and the customer- some of the big improvements this time around are in the interactions between multiple?personal Apple-branded computing systems and Apple-enabled-online-services...?
- The devices are both iOS and OSX based.? Which is why it isn't good enough to have high adoption on just the iOS devices. Apple needed to goose the upgrade rate on Mavericks, so that owners of both Macs and iPhones will have the foundational software to create systems that work well together for you, the customer. To point out a few points of integration you might overlook - setting calendar appointments complete with location information now makes sense in iOS (with iOS maps) and in OSX (with its own Maps application) - and the reminders can take into account drive time to warn you of an appointment.? That integration of location awareness between iPhone and Macbook does not happen if the Mac doesn't upgrade to OSX Mavericks... So it's free.
- The iOS and OSX-based versions of iWork apps were aligned in form and function.? And more seamlessly connected to online services for collaboration, sharing, and "seamless" storage. Again, driving the need for these apps to be upgraded on not just one or the other type of device- but on both devices, nearly simultaneously.
- The iOS and OSX-based versions of iLife apps were aligned in form/function. And more seamlessly connected to important services, including iTunes Radio.? Again, creating impetus for upgrading both types of devices at once to make sure that they can both access these upgraded services seamlessly - which drives adoption of the new services like iTunes Radio, and also drives more lock-in to the use of great personal productivity tools like iMovie and iPhoto.
Imagine if they weren't free. How many Apple customers might only update iOS, and then complain about how badly their iWorks docs integrate with OSX?? How many more support tickets and complaints on twitter.? How many fewer photos uploaded on iPhoto?? How many fewer Pages documents shared with others? How many OSX users confused about how to access cloud services??? How many fewer maps or driving routes shared between OSX and iOS devices?
The level of interdependency of benefit in the Apple ecosystem has never been higher.? It was no longer acceptable to let price of software upgrade act as a hindrance to having all the devices on a current, modern, up-to-date version of software. Apple has a bigger prize in mind than your $29 for Mac OSX.? Apple wants your devices to play so well together that you won't want to break the chain.? And they're getting really close to achieving that level of complementary service.
I don't think Apple is worried about the competitive aspect, culturally. They're worried about negative press when their services don't play well together (different versions). They're worried about making sure their most loyal multi-Apple-device-owning customers are getting a?great value offering when they upgrade 3 or 4 devices. ? Free.

DWI laws in Missouri prevent drivers intoxicated by alcohol, prescription drugs, or controlled substances from endangering the public on Missouri highways. These laws are criminal and administrative. The DWI laws offer remedies for your first arrest. However, your second DWI conviction will result in a one to five year suspension of your driver's license. A driver who commits a third DWI offense within five years serves four years in jail. They also lose his or her driver's license for ten years under stringent Missouri DWI laws. A defendant who injures or kills someone while driving while intoxicated by alcohol, prescription drugs, or controlled substances is charged with aggravated DWI in Missouri.
What Is a DWI under Missouri Law?
Under DWI laws in Missouri, your first DWI is a Class B misdemeanor . This means you will probably spend at least 48 hours in jail. You can be sentenced to six months in jail as well as ordered to pay a fine of up to $500. A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 is illegally intoxicated for most driver. Commercial drivers are illegally intoxicated if their BAC is .04. Underage drinkers are illegally intoxicated if their BAC is .02. If any amount of a Schedule I, II, III, IV, or V controlled substance is present in a driver's blood stream, the driver is driving while intoxicated.
What Happens If I get Pulled Over?
You should stay calm and be polite if an officer pulls you off the road. If you complain or argue with the officer, you increase your chances of being arrested. Following DWI laws in Missouri, the police officer will offer you a blood, breath, or urine test to prove your innocence. The police officer chooses which test you will take and uses the test results as evidence in court. If the test proves you are driving while intoxicated, you will be arrested and taken to jail.
Can I Refuse the Tests?
You can refuse to take the test, but your license will be suspended administratively for one year. Under Missouri's implied consent laws, operating a motor vehicle with a Missouri driver's license is implied consent to take a blood, breath, or urine test if the officer suspects you are driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
What Happens If I Refuse Them?
The state of Missouri will suspend your driver's license for one year if you refuse to take your breathalyzer test. This type of suspension is "Chemical Revocation". You can petition the circuit court for a review of your chemical revocation. If it's your second or third DWI offense, you must also have an interlock device installed on your vehicle before your driving privileges are reinstated.
What Are the Penalties I Should Expect?
You will be arrested and taken to jail. Missouri administrative statutes 302.500 to 302.540 require the arresting officer to transmit the following information to the Missouri Department of Revenue:
- Alcohol Influence Report.
- Missouri Uniform Complaint, Warrant.
- Suspension/Revocation of Driver's License (Form 2385).
- Your Confiscated Driver's License.
What Happens If I Have a Child Passenger?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration revealed 210 child deaths in 2014 caused by drunk drivers. Driving while intoxicated with alcohol or drugs in your bloodstream and a minor child in your car is child abuse or child endangerment in all 50 United States. Applying DWI laws in Missouri, all children and teenagers under the of 17 are minors. Intoxicated drivers do not always adequately restrain children in car seats.
First Offense DWI
Your first DWI will get you up to 6 months in jail, up to $500 fines, and 30-day suspension. There's also the risk of getting an ignition interlock device on your vehicle. The officer will tell you how to schedule a court appearance. You must successfully complete a substance abuse offender counseling program. If you refuse to take the mandatory breath test, you will not be forced to do so unless you caused an accident which resulted in severe bodily harm or death. However, your driver's license will be suspended for 1 year.
Drivers Under 21 Years Old
Under DWI laws in Missouri, drivers under 21 years old face administrative alcohol arrests. They lose their driver's licenses if they attempt to purchase alcoholic beverages, are visibly intoxicated, or have a BAC greater .020. A minor in possession of alcohol receives a 30 to 90-day suspension. Moreover, if the minor is found in possession of drugs or alcohol a third time, his or her license is suspended for one year.
Second offense DWI
If it's your second DWI offense, you must also have an interlock device installed on your vehicle before your driving privileges are reinstated. You'll be held in jail for at least 10 days. Your second DWI can result in a year in prison, up to $1000 in fines, 1-year suspension, as well as an ignition interlock device after the suspension.
Third Offense DWI
Your third DWI arrest is a felony which results in up to five years in prison, $5,000 in fines, extended probation, and a suspended license for ten years. An ignition interlock device must be installed on your vehicle when your license is reinstated. The state of Missouri maintains a centralized database of all DWI offenses from arrests to court hearings. DWI courts have been established for treatment of repeat offenders. You may be able to get a public defender to represent you in court and in the administrative hearings to get your driver's license back.
Final Thoughts
You should not attempt to face tough criminal charges by yourself. You need staunch legal representation in what may seem the most-difficult, worse time of your life, to preserve your rights and to represent you in criminal court and in agency hearings to get your driver's license reinstated. Under DWI laws in Missouri a limited license may be granted by court order to allow you to drive to work to support yourself and your family. You must obtain a Missouri SR-22 proof of liability insurance valid for 90 days to apply for a hardship license.

Woolly jumpers, thick-rimmed glasses and antique chests of drawers. Until recently, these are all things that probably sprung to mind when you thought of Volvo.
The Swedish carmaker has done a commendable job of shaking off that image in recent years, though. Its current lineup is arguably the strongest in the industry, all up to the job of challenging German competitors (and seemingly a never-ending talent for picking up awards), while a move towards SUVs means Volvos are now bang-on-trend.
However, the firm hasn't always made cars for the family man. At the 1960 Brussels Motor Show, the Italian-inspired P1800 was revealed. Intended to increase traffic to Volvo showrooms, the Amazon-based sports car was designed by Pelle Petterson, the son of Volvo engineering consultant Helmer Petterson.
The story goes that four design proposals were ordered from Italy, while Petterson also snuck in a design by his son: a student at the Petro Frua design house. A board unanimously agreed that Petterson's proposal was best, despite being penned by a 25-year-old Gothenburg native. For more than 50 years, the firm insisted that it was an Italian design.
Watch: driving the Volvo P1800
The P1800 nearly didn't see the light of day as Volvo didn't have the production capacity to produce an entirely new model, even in small numbers. Fortunately, two British firms were willing to help out: Pressed Steel would build the bodies while Jensen Motors would paint and assemble the cars. This arrangement lasted until 1963, when quality control problems at Jensen led to production being moved to Volvo's Lundby plant in Gothenburg.
480 MTT is a UK model, built in 1962. Restored by the Volvo Enthusiasts Club at the National Classic Car Show in 1994, it was subsequently bought by Volvo Car UK and used for various marketing activities, including an appearance in an advert for the Volvo 480 (now a classic in its own right).
Twenty-odd years of neglect led to it needing some TLC, which in turn led to another full-blown restoration. Volvo-approved bodyshop MR King and Sons completed the work, which included reworking of panels to rid the car of any filler. No new panels were needed, however, and the car isn't concours. Volvo wants it to be used, and retain some of the patina gained throughout its life.
What's it like to drive?
Before I can drive the P1800, it needs pushing out of the reception of Volvo UK's Maidenhead HQ. And before that can happen, people need to be cleared. In a company of car enthusiasts, barely a soul walks past without stopping to ask questions or take a peek under the bonnet.
Incidentally, under said bonnet is a 1.8-litre four-cylinder twin-carb petrol engine (fuel injection followed in 1969). As with all carbureted engines, it runs a bit rough on start-up and its emissions aren't exactly office-friendly – hence having to push it out of the building.
Once out in the open and up to temperature, the 100hp engine runs smoothly and I can fully enjoy the magnificence of the P1800's cabin. It recently appeared in our coolest car dashboards feature – and justifiably so. The dash-mounted rear-view mirror is a personal highlight, as are the two-spoke wheel, needle-thin indicator stalks and cool dials (criticised at the time for being too gimmicky). Oh, and there's the ultra-clever (and ultra-simple) belt buckle. Volvo invented the three-point seatbelt, don't cha know?
It takes a little time to adjust to the 56-year-old car, but I've soon got my head around the rather manual controls. Finding gears is easy – although reverse takes a little searching for – and there's an overdrive to help progress. By today's standards, the P1800 is not fast, but maintaining 60mph on rural roads close to Maidenhead is no mean feat for a car as old as this.
While Roger Moore famously drove a P1800 in The Saint, I resist the temptation to 'do a Simon Templar' and punt the P1800 sideways in pursuit of baddies. Despite being rear-drive and electronic-aid-free, it feels rather 'Volvo' on the road. By that, I mean it's a car to waft around in rather than chuck about.
But who cares when it looks as good as it does? While we're taking some shots in a rural car park, a guy in an E30-shape BMW 3 Series pulls up and asks if he can buy it. It gets that sort of reaction.
Tell me about buying one
You might have to put some groundwork in searching for the right P1800, but there is at least a varied selection in the classifieds at the time of writing. Deciding what you want is the first step. A British-built P1800, as featured here and perhaps the most sought-after model, or a Swedish-built P1800S? The P1800E came along with fuel injection in 1970, while the stunning P1800ES station wagon was launched in 1972.
Fuel injection has its benefits, and we prefer the look of the ES, but early P1800 examples are the most desirable among enthusiasts. In truth, you'd be better buying on condition than getting too hung up about a particular model.
Rust is the P1800's most troublesome issue. The Volvo Enthusiasts Club offers a spares service that will help you find replacement or repair panels, but some are expensive and they're not all available. Inspect any potential buy thoroughly, and be on the lookout for dodgy repairs and filler.
If you find one that's cosmetically sound, there's little else to worry about. Mechanically, the P1800 is extremely robust, but do check that a genuine Volvo oil filter is fitted. Also look out for smoke on start-up, and make sure the clutch bites cleanly without any juddering.
Volvo is on form right now, yet the P1800 of more than 50 years ago remains one of the brand's coolest cars ever. I'd be happy to have one on my driveway just to look at, never mind to drive.
If you're after thrills, you're probably not going to get them from the P1800. But you will get a great deal of pleasure from simply driving it around gently, being waved at by other motorists and attracting attention wherever you go. Volvo UK's example is simply stunning – not concours, and all the better for it.
Finding a good one is tricky, but not impossible. Buy the best you can afford – they're not that expensive in classic car terms – and don't underestimate the work involved in fixing rust.

How can we say goodbye to a beloved Pet?
By Deborah Herman
I discovered my gift of animal communication through my horse, Tonk. When I rescued him in 1999 I thought his name meant something like Honky Tonk because of his Tennessee walker gait. It turned out his name, Tatanka, was taken from the movie "Dances with Wolves," which is Lakota for "Buffalo." The word Buffalo in Lakota means that everything is found within itself. I interpret this to mean that everything is imbued with the spark of the Creator.
It wasn't a typical rescue, at least not for him. He actually did the rescuing. It was a difficult time for me. There was a lot of transition in my life, I had just turned forty and my father had passed away. From as early as I could remember I had wanted a horse. Whenever I would take a car ride with my parents out into the wilderness of Long Island where I was raised as I child, a horse spotting was magical. I would gleefully scream "horses," "horses." My elderly Great Grandfather who had escaped the Russian Pogroms, would always pat me on the head, give me a Hershey bar and promise that someday he would buy me a horse.
Now an adult living in Ohio and grieving I decided to take horseback riding lessons. My instructor was a real cowgirl who helped me embrace my inner alpha woman. She would allow no prissiness around the horses. She taught me to muck a stall, follow barn etiquette, and helped me pick out proper cowboy boots. One day I wistfully said I would love a horse of my own. The next day she introduced me to Tonk.
From what I could gather, Tonk had not had a proper home and now my cowgirl was working with him. The first time I met him he was facing the back of his stall and would not acknowledge us. But he was beautiful. What I hadn't told the cowgirl so she would not think I was crazy was that I had been dreaming about riding a palomino. I felt like I recognized him with his golden coat and off white mane. He completely ignored me but I was hooked.
I learned a great lesson that day. The easiest part of horse ownership is buying one. It was an impulse, but I knew that we were meant to be a team. I barely knew how to ride but as a grown woman I had made my dream come true. I could feel my great grandfather smiling upon me.
Every day I would come to the stable, and Tonk would not acknowledge me. I would groom him, give him an apple and leave. It took a while, but one day when I arrived at the stable, instead of hiding in the corner, Tonk was facing the front to greet me. A friendship was born. When we later relocated to the Berkshires Tonk came with us.
I learned I could directly communicate with animals, especially horses through my relationship with Tonk. We would communicate through dreams so vividly that one time while I was out of town I "saw" every detail of an accident he had experienced.
Then I discovered that I could "hear him" telepathically in the same manner in which I am able to communicate with cats and dogs. He shared wisdom with me from the perspective of a horse.
I recently had back surgery and am in a brace. On Saturday, June 29th I received a call from my dear friend who has been boarding Tonk at her farm in Stockbridge. It was the one I had been dreading every year as Tonk became elderly. We are not sure but we believe he had reached his early 30s. He had fallen and my friend and her husband had to lift him. I called the vet and was driven over to the barn.
There was my beautiful Tonk, standing but shaken. I was unable to walk the incline into the barn so I sat on a chair in my brace where I could see him. He perked up when he saw me and we connected telepathically. He said "I will never leave you. You are my angel." I said to him "I love you and you have been my angel."
While the vet and my friend stood with him I prayed that if it is his time that God allow him to go peacefully and I would accept his passing. Then I saw a beautiful purple light next to him the size of an angel.
When my friend and the vet came out of the barn they said it was his time. My friend and I shared tears. She had been like a second mother to him and took wonderful care of him. They walked him in back and before the vet could barely administer anything he collapsed into peaceful passing. Although grieving I also felt at peace.
That night as I was falling to sleep I saw Tonk vividly. His coat shown as it did the first time I saw him. He stopped to look at me and then galloped off with a herd of horses into the open woods.When I told my friend about the vision the next day she said that those were the three horses who were buried on the land. She cried because she knew that they would all be together and free.
Two weeks later my friend called me. She said I would not believe her but Tonk's companion horse Picachu had developed some kind of disease completely unrelated to what had caused Tonk's passing. She said they could do nothing to save him. It was as if he wanted to join his buddy. So now the two are permanently resting next to each other for eternity. It is amazing that we humans do not understand the inner lives of these beautiful creatures and the depth of love and devotion they share.
Deborah Herman is an animal communicator energy healer who specializes in horses. Herman also works with families who are preparing for or experiencing the loss of a beloved pet. Her website is: www.Deborah-Herman.com
Tonk has his own facebook page that is being continued in tribute to him and to other horses. www.Facebook.com/Tonkthemysticwonderhorse

Daily Huddles: Meetings that empower your team
Many small businesses and startups are quite agile. The relatively simple structure of most small businesses means they are well placed to adapt to changing market conditions, the ever-increasing pace of working life and evolving customer needs.

EA ditching paper game manuals
Megapublisher's green-packaging initiative will see physical instructions replaced by electronic versions on the game discs.
Electronic Arts has announced an international environmental initiative that will lead to a reduction of its printed materials in packaged products by 40 percent. How will the company do it? Simple: Starting with Mass Effect 2 for the PlayStation 3 and Fight Night Champion, the company has stopped including printed game manuals with its titles.
The replacement? Both games--and all EA games going forward--will have electronic manuals included on the game disc. These manuals will be accessible via the pause and main menus of each game and will also be available in various languages via the website http://support.ea.com/app/manuals.
EA's environmental initiative will also include the introduction of reduced material DVD-style cases for all console and PC cases, which are designed to be easily recyclable. The company also said it will be using "new environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and water-conserving technologies in the manufacturing and distribution of its products."

CITY OF SIN – Mallory and Gunner: The Early Days
This action-packed short story collection reads like the first season of a show that is part Homicide: Life on the Streets, part The X-Files, and part edgy sitcom, introducing us to detectives Frank Mallory and Alberto "Gunner" Gennaro as they battle modern versions of horror movie monster classics. Mallory and Gunner have met the monsters and they am us!
"I absolutely loved Christopher Ryan's City of Woe and when my non-stop "page-turning" came to an abrupt (and satisfying) halt on the final page, I immediately wanted more of Frank Mallory and Gunner Gennaro. It was a pleasure reconnecting with these guys, and also impressive to see that Christopher Ryan's brilliant plotting and gift for realistic dialogue and details was not limited to his first book. Now, of course, I'm looking forward to the next installment! Bravo, Chris!"
– Thomas B. Martin, Amazon Review
Two NYPD detectives, the thoughtful family man Frank Mallory and the fun-loving flirt Alberto "Gunner" Gennaro, chase a serial killer whose crime scenes look like levels of Dante's "Inferno" – including notes suggesting they might be pursuing a demon.
"… a riveting combination of a straight up police procedural matched with a psychological thriller … Ryan's prose is sharp, quick witted, and as multifaceted as the streets of New York."
– Library Journal
Teaser: https://youtu.be/HH68kyAAOZE
Interview: https://youtu.be/wpKm4ExMCek
"In this second part of the "City Series", NYPD detectives Mallory and Gunner find themselves struggling with the aftermath of their last big case. Vengeful madmen, vicious superior officers, relentless media, domestic pressures, and personal losses twist their world while the lives of a group of victimized girls hang in the balance, with the time the detectives have to save them ticking away….
"Writing the second book of a trilogy is often a difficult task since the reader already is familiar with the setting and main characters, but doesn't get the payoff of a finished plot. However, this didn't stop Mr. Ryan from penning a fast-paced, suspenseful frolic. I love the short chapters that push the action forward at a breakneck pace. We also learn more about Gunner, balancing the spotlight that shined on Mallory in the first book. All in all, a wonderful pager turner."
-- Kevin Timlin, Amazon Review

Yes, a hybrid wagon would be idea and a non-brainer for the car companies. Think of the stereotypical Volvo driver, a lefty green. Perfect market for the hybrid, combine eco with safety. But do they do it? No, they are thinking of diesel, which has carcinogenic emissioins, though better fuel economy. That's not going to reach their market.
Or the stereotypical wagon buyer in general, family, safety, avoid SUV risks but carry a lot. Add prius economy and reduced gasoline benzene emissions, and you have safety all over. Again, the car companies seem to be missing the boat.
I have been putting off selling my 16 year old Acura, waiting for ANY car manufacturer to produce a hybrid station wagon. I live in the city and find that a station wagon can squeeze into parking slots and down narrow city roads that anything that looks like an SUV cannot.
They may classify the Highlander as more like a car -- and hence, a station wagon -- but it sure looks like an SUV to me.
In my neck of the woods, people are getting really flipped out about global warming. I bet that if a car company sold a practical hybrid station wagon, it would fly off the lots. A Subaru Outback or other wagon gone hybrid would be perfect.
The Ford Escape Hybrid (FEH) should do the trick! I bought an '07 FWD FEH last month and just hauled home a bed in a box from IKEA - there was plenty of room.
I also have been getting 33 mpg overall, which is awesome for a small SUV. 13 mpg better than the minivan I traded in on it.
My FEH cost $25K and I will get $2,600 back on my federal income taxes because of the purchase, putting the price really down at $22.5K.
Amen to all of above! I own an 89 toyota corolla wagon and a 93 saturn SW2 wagon.
The only "equivalent carry capacity" (my quote mark) vehicle would be a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It is very big in terms of cargo and passenger space.
It will get you a $2600 Fed Tax Credit if purchased before 10/1/'2006.
We broke down and purchased a 2006 Prius that we love. But it is small.
I can't believe that VW isn't getting into the hybrid market. I expected a hybrid VW wagon (either Jetta or Passat) to be in the works, but it looks like it's not. We already have a Prius, but with a baby on the way, I'd really like a wagon. What is wrong with VW?
Actually for VAg group to be back with a hybrid is just amatte rof relatively short time. In fact already back in 1997, Audi used to build and sell its Audi A4 avant in a diesel-hybrid version. The diesel engine was the same as the one used in the WV jetta in the US. They discontinued the production of that vehicle due to high production costs and little demand. If you visit the Audi site in Germnay you will see that they are working on a hybrids again, forseebaly their big SUV the Q7 will be equipped as such in the nearer future.
I have been emailing Subaru every couple months begging for a Hybrid Outback. Given that Outback owners are traditionally enviro-friendly, I would think Subaru would have jumped on the idea years ago. I think they are missing out on a serious opportunity - if only they acknowledged how big the market would be! There response to my emails to-date has been to send me a link to their 2-seater hybrid - what a shame.
I saw the billboard yesterday for the camry hybrid and nudged my husband. "If it comes in wagon, we can replace this thing," I told him. Our 1988 Civic wagon can haul a fully assembled toddler bed with the back seat folded down and gets 32 MPG. Unfortunately it's nearly 20 years old and starting to rattle itself apart.
We were very disappointed a few years ago when we went shopping for a family car to find worse gas mileage and less space! We refuse to buy an SUV, around here it's the equivalent of wearing a "I'm A Selfish Jerk" t-shirt. Subaru, Honda, Toyota, one of you guys, make a hybrid wagon that can fit two car seats and slightly-squished grandma in the back seat, with a jogging stroller or big-wheel in the trunk.
I don't think I'm asking too much.
I agree with everyone, it would be so nice to have a hybrid station wagon. I have 3 large dogs and tried to get them into my sister's Prius. Even with the seats down it was a tight fit. Also there was no room for stuff.
I'd buy a Subaru Outback hybrid in a minute.

Top 10 Most Important SEO Tips for URL Optimization
For some, a URL is just a unique finger print that holds the unique location of a web page on the internet. To an SEO expert, it holds much more information than a web page's location. It provides informative signals that help search engines understand the content of a page, it's purpose, and it's target market.
Like all signals, some can be weak, some can be strong, and some signals can even be missing. Below are the 10 most important signals that major search engines detect from URLs when determining the page's content, who the target market is, and how high to rank the page in the search results.

This year's difficult flu season is almost over – and there's more good news where that came from. A new study shows that using a specific form of disinfection technology can significantly reduce rates of viral infections in pediatric patients.
As new technologies to reduce infection rates become more widespread, hospitals are using them to make serious strides in patient care.
One study looking at these new technologies is "The effect of ultraviolet-C technology on viral infection incidence in a pediatric long-term care facility," which was published in the American Journal of Infection Control.
As the name suggests, researchers investigated the effects of using an ultraviolet-C (UV-C) disinfection device on viral infection rates at St. Mary's Children's Hospital in Bayside, NY.
And what they found could help eliminate environmental factors as sources of viral infections.
Reducing infections
You already know that disinfecting surfaces in patient rooms and common areas, along with consistent hand hygiene, is essential for cutting down on the possibility of infections within your facility.
UV-C devices are another tool that can make the cleaning and disinfecting process easier and more effective. The devices can be used to disinfect surfaces that are particularly hard to reach or clean manually.
Compared to the year before UV-C devices were used at St. Mary's, there was a 44% decrease in viral infection incidences at the hospital. In addition, the study showed that consistently using UV-C devices can have a cumulative effect on killing bacteria, meaning the benefits build up over time as the devices are used from month to month.
Although this study looked specifically at a children's hospital and pediatric patient viral infection rates, UV-C devices have also been effective at reducing hospital-acquired infections caused by bacteria.
Training staff
If possible, your hospital might want to look into acquiring UV-C devices, due to the numerous benefits. But remember, the devices are only as good as the staff members using them, so it's important to educate and train your employees on best practices for using UV-C devices.
UV-C devices aren't a cure-all for infection rates at your facility, and if you aren't able to purchase some, other tried-and-true strategies are also effective. Remind your staff to stick to hand hygiene best practices, and hold regular training sessions on thorough hand-washing techniques.
In addition, it's important to continue to regularly disinfect all surfaces in patient rooms (including bedrails) and common areas, since this goes a long way toward keeping your patients safe and infection rates low.

'Strong Evidence' of Link Between Physical Activity, Academic Success
Children who participate in physical activity also tend to benefit in the classroom, according to a new systematic review of 14 studies from the past few decades.
The review, published online Monday in the Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, sought to discover a potential link between childhood physical activity and improved academic performance.
The review authors, based out of the EMGO Institute for Health and Care Research in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, examined 10 observational and four intervention studies, mostly from the United States and mostly focusing on physical education or school sports.
The sample sizes of the studies ranged from 53 to roughly 12,000 participants, anywhere from 6 to 18 years of age. The researchers highlighted two of the 14 studies as particularly "high-quality."
As it turned out, those two studies appeared to confirm the authors' suspicions.
"According to the best-evidence synthesis, we found strong evidence of a significant positive relationship between physical activity and academic performance," the authors wrote. "The findings of one high-quality intervention study and one high-quality observational study suggest that being more physically active is positively related to improved academic performance in children."
In total, three of the four intervention studies and three of the 10 observational studies (including both of the "high-quality" studies) suggested a positive correlation between physical activity and academic performance of students.
As the authors write in the background section of the review, this link could be caused by many factors: increased blood and oxygen flow to the brain, boosts in hormones such as norepinephrine and endorphins which help improve mood, and "increased growth factors that help create new nerve cells and support synaptic plasticity."
However, there's much more work to be done in this field.
The authors stress that only two of the 14 studies that they examined were deemed "high-quality," and thus, more high-quality studies that use objective measures of physical activity—rather than students' or teachers' reports—need to be conducted.
"More high-quality studies are needed on the dose-response relationship between physical activity and academic performance and on the explanatory mechanisms, using reliable and valid measurement instruments to assess this relationship accurately," the authors write.
In short: Based on the literature they reviewed, the authors believe they've discovered a "significantly" positive correlation between physical activity and academic performance. Now, it's just a matter of confirming their findings and figuring out how the two are interrelated.
Armed with that knowledge, schools could tailor their physical education and sports programs to benefit both their students' bodies and their minds.
Photo: Students enjoy the playground during part of their physical education class last September at Northeast Elementary Magnet School in Danville, Ill. The curriculum at the public school is focused on health and wellness, and families have to sign a contract agreeing to abide by that. School lunches are low-fat or no-fat, with fresh fruit or veggies every day, and no dessert. (Seth Perlman/AP-File)

Excellent cotton candy flavor! This juice is creamy, sugar, fluffy, and wonderful all the way around!
Not to sweet.Not overwhelming. After a little steeping pretty damb good.
