There have been a surprising number of people who learnt to play a new sports well after childhood,
going onto for example the Olympic Games held in Sydney 2000. You can do that too in table tennis maybe for no less prestigous comps.
By 'copying' the article 6 Ways to Get Active at Any Age from 'www.shape.com', I would like to help our members get fitand healthy and enjoy the pleasures and fun of table tennis. Moreover, I would like to encourage the older or mature members to use some simple methods to improve their skill level which will enable you to smash that little plastic ball around at will.
There are a very few number of people like Tiger Woods or Sharipova who had talent and trained from toddler age to becoming rising stars by the time they were teenagers.
The rest of us aren't super talented but we don't need such innate qualities to be excellent table tennis players. These are some tips from people who went on to be Olympians after starting a new sport well after their teenage years.
It's never too late to learn a new sport and get really good at it," says Rebbeca Rusch (world mountain bike champion). "Everyone should expand their sporting horizons." Want to expand yours? Rush recommends getting educated and using your experience to help you take on the challenge. "We are smart and savvy and have learned some life lessons," she says. "Let that guide you in attacking a new sport. Solicit expert advice via a coach, a local club, or a friend who's already involved in the sport. Just a few sessions with an expert will save hours of fumbling and learning the lessons yourself the hard way." Playing at our club is ideally suited to those who want friendly free advice on how to play shots properly. Often people are very busy but don't be shy to ask for tips. Usually a quick analysis of your shot and a demonstration will set you on your way. Nowadays YouTube videos can help although the quality is a bit of a hit and miss.
"I approach running with a long term vision that includes room to continue growing," says Conley, a Team New Balance Olympic athlete. To accomplish your long-term goals, set smaller, intermediate ones and practice patience. "Success is not achieved overnight but takes hard work and time," says Conley. One of her favorite quotes is: "It takes years of hard work to become an overnight success." Conley adds, "I read this to myself a lot in the years leading up to the Olympic Trials, believing all along that one day I would emerge definitively on the landscape of American distance running." And she did.
Table tennis can be frustrating because it's no use hitting the ball as hard as you can if your shot doesn't land on the table. Your opponents know how to make you miss the ball or return it softly to them for their winner. The average person will take ten years to progress from beginner to division one level (if they ever make it) and you should be satisfied with making it to division two. As you can see from our Technical section, there are sixteen types of major shots to master if you want to be competitive. But take your time. Concentrate on the most important shots that will be useful to you and practice those first.
Starting something new can feel overwhelming, but a group of friends can make it a lot more fun. Evelyn Stevens (World Road Racer) suggests finding a buddy who does what you're interested in. If you don't know anyone, you can join a club or ask your local shop. Then, it's all about enjoying it. Table Tennis is such a freeing sport that gets you in great shape pretty quickly. Have a hit with newly made friends, join a team, boast about your wins and make excuses why you lost, factor in a coffee stop and enjoy a good workout while lost in the highs and lows pressure of a competition match.
"It's been a pretty fast track," says Gwen Jorgensen (Olympic triathlete). "It's definitely different when you come to a sport later in life but it helps you appreciate it more," she says. Steal a slice of Jorgensen's success by making a list of why you deserve to achieve your goals for a mental edge. "Before a race, I look back at what I've done, think about my motivation, and write down why I should succeed," explains Jorgensen. "It puts me in the right mind set and gets me focused to do my best."
Table tennis players have ample opportunity to plan competition matches or championships and before too long their level far outstrips their friends' who become amazed at the magic spins produced by their erstwhile beginner level social or work colleague. Maybe you don't want to play comp, so just make plans or scheme to be better than your friends. Beware - our junior students often start beating their dads after a couple months of coaching!
Australia's own In Van Le who was 2014 World Veterans Championship (70s category) in New Zealand says'
"I do physical training every day and also coach several students.
"I have my own training room and prefer to have one on one classes."

Certified personal trainer at Asphalt Green in New York City, Dejuana Richardson works with athletes of all ages from eight to 82. In his experience, one of the biggest physical hurtles he sees adults facing is the slower recovery time. "You just don't have that young body that bounces back right away the next day," he says.
That's why a proper warm-up and recovery are of the utmost importance. Richardson recommends a 10-minute warm-up. If you're someone who is very tight, then do some light dynamic stretching before your activity or sport. Afterwards, cool down by doing some static stretching while the muscles are warm and using a foam roller to loosen up any trigger points. And don't forget to mix things up on your training days. "Most exercises we do are linear. In most sports, you're typically reacting a lot to a ball or person. Training yourself to be more responsive and varying things with dynamic moves in various directions is huge," he says.
Table tennis does not require as much running as footie or badminton. But due to the quickness of the game, players do need to move laterally or in-out very quickly and your game will improve by carrying out a few minutes of skipping or sidestep and in-out footwork practice at home.
The club has seen former members return to play at the club after a couple years absence. Unfortunately a couple of them experienced muscle and ligament sprains which needed rest and treatment. So please carry out lots of warm up/cool downs when you come back to table tennis after a long lay off.
Sport psychologist David E. Conroy, Ph.D., an assistant professor of kinesiology at Pennsylvania State University, reminds athletes that just as your body adapts to training (think: increasing fitness or strength), so too does your mind. One of the biggest mental challenges you'll encounter is persisting through failures. "You will fail frequently when you learn a new sport or activity—if you don't, you're not challenging yourself enough," says Conroy. "The trick is to make each failure a learning experience so you fail better each time."
Conroy suggests reminding yourself that although the mental and emotional changes you experience may be less noticeable than some of the physical changes, they are happening and your focus has to remain on giving yourself the opportunity to improve through repeated practice. "Focus on learning and improving as your goal instead of comparing your ability level to others. Immerse yourself in learning," adds Conroy.
Table tennis can be a pleasurable sport due to the large amount of complex shots to learn. Apart from learning many basic shots to counter top, back, side and no spin balls, there are over twenty types of serves that you can execute. There are forehand and backhand serves, the various spins and there are two-finger shakehand, penhold, pendulum, axe, inside-out and side swerve grips or motions- just for serving. Unfortunately for the beginner, if you don't know the theory or basic motions of these serves, your return of the serves will be disadvantaged ie, you will have no idea of the spin that will be coming to you. Worst of all, the advanced players develop serves that are deliberately misleading - they serve with the same motion but the result can be top, side, under or no spin! So table tennis is not a sport where you just roll up and run, swim or pedal as fast as you can. Of course these athletic sports are not that simple but you cannot play table tennis without constantly scrutinizing your opponents' every action and using your mental faculties to devise counter tactics.
The above tips, although copied directly from 6 Ways to Get Active at Any Age , apply remarkably to table tennis. Our sport does not rely solely on physical strength but greatly on technique and mental skills. It is quite ideal for mature players to take up the fun sport, improve their skills after some dedicated and well thought out training, and who can take part in a variety of competitions with inter club, district, interstate and overseas travel at world veterans events. While Australia finds it impossible to produce Olympic or world champions we actually do quite well at veterans level and have had several champions at various age groups, the most notable being 100 year old Dot de Lowe.

Fundbox Business Loans Review
Fundbox provides business financing to companies that need cash quickly. Funding through invoice factoring or a line of credit can be as fast as the next business day.
Many or all of the companies featured provide compensation to LendEDU. These commissions are how we maintain our free service for consumers. Compensation, along with hours of in-depth editorial research, determines where & how companies appear on our site.
Many business owners need access to cash quickly to cover payroll or other operating expenses. When you need to borrow money fast, Fundbox could be an ideal choice. You'll have the option of a line of credit or invoice factoring, and Fundbox makes it easy to get approved compared to some other business lenders.
It's important to understand the different financing options Fundbox offers as well as the terms and conditions of the loan you're considering so you can decide if Fundbox is the right online lender for you. This Fundbox review will cover everything you need to know to make an informed choice.
In this review:
- How to Get a Fundbox Line of Credit
- Basic Information: Rates, Terms, Fees, & Limits
- The Benefits of a Fundbox Line of Credit
- The Downsides of a Fundbox Line of Credit
How to Get a Fundbox Line of Credit
Fundbox offers several different solutions for companies, but a line of credit is the most flexible. With a Fundbox line of credit, you can borrow as much as you need for approved business purposes when you need it, up to your total credit line. Loan amounts up to $100,000.
Small business owners can apply for a Fundbox line of credit online by visiting the website and clicking "Apply Now." You can obtain an initial credit decision without a hard credit inquiry, so your credit score won't be affected unless you're approved and decide to draw funds (at which point Fundbox will conduct a hard credit check). You'll need to provide some basic information to create a Fundbox account and apply for funds, including:
- Your name
- Your contact details
- Annual business revenue
Fundbox will also ask for the login to your accounting software or business bank account so it can verify the financial details you provided. Typically, you will have an answer within three minutes or less of submitting your application. If you're approved, you can simply request to draw funds from your line of credit and can have the money as soon as the next business day.
Fundbox Requirements
Fundbox has a few simple requirements you have to fulfill in order to get approved for a business line of credit.
- You must have a business checking account.
- You need at least two months of activity in accounting software that Fundbox supports or three months of transactions in a business checking account.
- You will need to give Fundbox access to your accounting software and/or your business checking account.
- Your company needs to have a minimum annual revenue of $50,000. The average business borrower that receives a Fundbox line of credit, however, has annual revenue exceeding $250,000.
- Your business must be based in the United States or within select U.S. territories.
If you are not able to qualify for a business line of credit, you could also consider invoice factoring if you are a B2B business (which means you primarily sell products or services to other companies). Invoice factoring, which involves essentially selling your outstanding invoices to Fundbox for a portion of their current value, can be an alternative to a traditional small business loan.
With Fundbox invoice financing, you'll need at two months of invoicing activity in accounting software that Fundbox can access, such as QuickBooks, Sage One, Xero, or FreshBooks. A complete list of compatible software is available on the Fundbox website.
Basic Information: Rates, Terms, Fees, & Limits
Fundbox offers loans with flexible repayment terms. Here are some of the factors you should consider:
- There's no application fee charged on Fundbox loans.
- In lieu of a traditional APR, you'll pay a fee of 4.66% or 8.99% depending on your repayment term. The fee is lower on a 12-week repayment plan, but the weekly payment amount is higher because you're paying off what you borrowed over a shorter period of time. This allows you to customize your payments to better meet your business needs.
- You can become eligible for a line of credit up to $100,000.
- No personal guarantee or collateral required.
- Fundbox will waive any remaining fees when you repay your line of credit early.
The Benefits of a Fundbox Line of Credit
There are many advantages to taking out a Fundbox line of credit when your business needs to borrow. Here are some of the major benefits:
- Fast access to cash: You can apply online and get a credit decision within just three minutes. Once you have been approved, you can choose to receive your funds by the next business day. This provides very timely access to the credit limit you need to continue operations if your company runs into a cash flow crunch.
- Loans are unsecured: You do not have to put down collateral for the loan.
- Smaller and newer businesses can qualify more easily: Many financial institutions that offer business lines of credit require your company to have been open longer or have higher annual revenues to be approved. In addition, there are no minimum credit score requirements to apply.
- Transparent pricing: Borrowers will always know the fees they'll pay before drawing from their line of credit.
The Downsides of a Fundbox Line of Credit
There are also some downsides to borrowing with Fundbox, including:
- Very new businesses need not apply: If you don't have three months of transactions in your bank account or accounting software to show Fundbox, you won't be able to access cash through a Fundbox business line of credit.
- You have to provide Fundbox with account access: The application process involves giving Fundbox access to your bank account or your invoicing software. Although this streamlines the application process, some companies may not feel secure handing over these details.
- You must meet minimum revenue requirements: Not all businesses have the minimum annual revenue Fundbox requires to get approved for a line of credit. If yours doesn't, you won't be able to get this type of financing through Fundbox.
Bottom Line
Getting approved for financing is often one of the biggest challenges new businesses and entrepreneurs can face. Fundbox aims to solve these problems by providing short-term lines of credit to companies with a minimum annual revenue of just $50,000.
Although this is still a high revenue target, it's far below what many competitors require so it's much easier to get approved. This easy approval, combined with very fast access to cash, make Fundbox a lender worth considering, especially for smaller businesses that need cash quickly for a pressing expense. However, potentially high interest rates mean more established businesses with good credit histories should look elsewhere to save on fees.

India replies to Pak queries
The Mumbai police have submitted answers to Pakistan's 30 questions on the 26/11 Mumbai terror strike dossier to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).india Updated: Mar 08, 2009, 01:15 IST
The Mumbai police have submitted answers to Pakistan's 30 questions on the 26/11 Mumbai terror strike dossier to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA).
In reply to an issue of ambiguity raised by Pakistan over the GPS data provided in the dossier, the police said the GPS set seized from Hotel Taj has data of 50 places in Karachi, Pakistan.
Also, the digital map recovered from the GPS set abandoned on MV Kuber, on which the 10 terrorists had sailed to the Mumbai coast, has data of coordinates to help them sail from Karachi to Mumbai.
In reply to the query over the DNA profiles of the 10 terrorists who had attacked Mumbai on the night of November 26, 2008, the police said the DNA samples of all accused, including the nine dead, were taken by forensic experts and articles recovered from MV Kuber such as jackets, skull caps, blankets and Israeli caps analysed.
And the DNA samples of Abu Ismail, Javed alias Abu Ali, Abdul Rehman Chotta, Nazir alias Abu Umar and Hafiz Arshad alias Abdul Rehman Bada and Kasab have matched with the articles seized from trawler.
However, India will not share any further evidence with Pakistan on the terror strike, till the latter seeks information through a judicial request in the form of a Letter of Rogatory (see box) from the Pakistani court.
This decision stems from the MHA, which is wary of Pakistan's lackadaisical approach and incompetence to crack down on terror organisations that have flourished on their soil, an official from the MHA said.
"We have been told that Hafiz Saeed, chief of Jamaat-ud-Dawa the parent organisation of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Tayyeba (LeT), has been kept under house arrest. Also, we have been told about the arrests of LeT's second-in-command Zaki-ur-Rehman and top commander Zarrar Shah, both of whom had a direct hand in the Mumbai terror strike," said the MHA official, requesting anonymity. "But we have not been told either the charges leveled against them or in which court they had been produced."
Moreover, there has been no confirmation of the identity of Hamad Amin Sadiq, who Pakistan claims was the main conspirator of the terror attack.
Pakistan has not heeded to India's numerous requests to hand over some of the terrorists operating from their soil for prosecution. Neither has it taken concrete action against people like Saeed.
On many past occasions, Pakistan had sought evidence from India to prosecute Saeed and claimed to have put him under house arrest. But he has walked away scot-free each time, sources in the intelligence bureau said.
Pakistan had detained Saeed after India conveyed Saeed's involvement with the 2001 Parliament attack, but he was later let off.

This cabinet card portrait features a well dressed woman wearing a spectacular hat and spectacles. Her glasses are modern versus old school. They have temples and are not the pince niz variety of eyewear. The woman in this image appears quite serious. The photographer of this photograph is Napleon J. Loupret. His studio was at 51 Central Street, in Lowell, Massachusetts. According to an online researcher, Loupret occupied this building from 1885 until 1893. City directories indicate that he worked as a photographer in Lowell between 1880 and 1911. The 1913 directory reveals that Loupret was working as a watchman. Mr. Loupret was born in Canada in 1858 and moved to the United States around 1880. He married Frances H. Hevy in 1883. Interestingly, Loupret , at one point in his career, was partners in a studio called Hevy & Loupret. It is likely that Louis N. Hevy was Loupret's father-in-law or brother-in-law. Napoleon Loupret died in 1925. A portrait of the Loupret family can be seen below. I believe that Napoleon is the young man sitting on a chair in the back row. The image was found on the ancestry.com site.

It would be quite a few, but the deadline wouldn't be too pressing. Maybe the end of January, for around 40-50 sprites.
I need some fakemon sprites done for a ROM hack.
could you do a favour for me?
Involves spriting.
By the way, the sprites in your avatar look really cool. You've improved.
[b]Arcticwhite[/b], Pretty well. Managed to get straight A's with a cluctch 89.6
I've also been playing a lot of LoL and stuffs. Trying to get into the hearthstone beta.

ATLANTA – Monday, Nov. 5, 2018
One month after Hurricane Michael came ashore as the most powerful to hit the U.S in nearly 50 years, the American Red Cross will continue to help residents and communities in Southwest Georgia with emergency needs and recovery next steps.
With communities moving from disaster response to disaster recovery, the last remaining Red Cross shelter in Albany has transitioned back to the 2nd Mt Zion Baptist Church and mobile distribution of food and supplies is no longer necessary. Now, hurricane-impacted residents with emergency needs can continue to work with the Red Cross of Southwest Georgia directly by calling 229-436-4845 or 1-800-RedCross, or visiting the office at 500 Pine Ave., Suite 104, Albany, GA 31701.
"Before, during and after Hurricane Michael, the Red Cross has been there for the people of Georgia, said Andy Brubaker, Executive Director of the Red Cross of Southwest Georgia, whose counties were hardest-hit by the disaster. "We'll continue to work with our partners in local communities to connect people with the resources they need."
How the Red Cross Helped
Through casework and outreach, Red Cross volunteers connected hundreds of people like Doretha Dandy, Sylvester, with resources and helped them build a plan for recovery. Dandy her daughter and three grandchildren rode out the storm at home as it damaged her roof and well. Two days later, she moved to the Red Cross shelter in Albany and found a safe place to sleep, food, water and power. There, caseworker Bob Coker also helped Dandy get a tarp installed on her roof, so she could move back home. "You've got some sweet people; I feel they're really concerned about you – from the heart," a grateful Dandy told the Red Cross.
Preparations for the major disaster relief effort began in Georgia well before Michael hit on October 10th. The Red Cross opened a headquarters in centrally-located Macon and began mobilizing trained workers, staging supplies and working closely with emergency partners around the state to support evacuation needs.
After Michael crossed into southwest Georgia, still a category 2 hurricane, and cut diagonally from Donalsonville (Seminole County) to Augusta (Richmond, County), the Red Cross responded quickly. Headquarters moved to Albany, relocating the workforce to southwest Georgia, the area of greatest impact. Georgia Red Cross volunteers were joined by hundreds from across the country who worked around the clock to feed, shelter and support those impacted.
In response to Hurricane Michael in Georgia, the Red Cross, with the support of community, faith-based and government partners:
· Deployed more than 640 Red Cross disaster workers and 26 Emergency Response Vehicles from across the country
· Opened and/or supported 11 shelters in our state for evacuees and those impacted by the storm.
· Provided 2,844 overnight shelter stays to 847 people.
· Served 204,358 meals and snacks and distributed 7,000 cases of water through our shelters and via mobile outreach in affected communities.
· Distributed more than 80,617 emergency supplies (such as clean-up kits and bleach, tarps, work gloves and trash bags, shovels and rakes, etc.) to 5,252 households.
· Made 8,553 health and mental health contacts in addition to our standard client casework.
· Engaged more than 280 local event-based volunteers in our disaster relief mission in Georgia.
"On behalf of the many people helped, we thank our emergency partners and the Red Cross volunteers who came from all over the country to support Hurricane Michael relief efforts here," said Virginia Mewborn, director of the Red Cross response in Georgia. "Rest assured, our local team will continue to work with impacted residents and communities to help them get back on their feet."
How You Can Help
Help people affected by Hurricane Michael by visiting redcross.org, calling 1- 800-RED CROSS or texting the word MICHAEL to 90999 to make a $10 donation. Donations enable the Red Cross to prepare for, respond to and help people recover from disasters. The Red Cross honors donor intent. Donors can designate their donation to Hurricane Michael relief efforts by choosing that option when donating on redcross.org or on 1-800-RED CROSS.

Nokia is set to launch the rebranded Withings suite of consumer digital health tools this summer, including connected scales, blood pressure monitors, thermometers and activity trackers, which will all be under the Nokia name. At the same time, the company will debut the Patient Care Platform for chronic condition management and release an updated version of the Health Mate app, altogether rounding out the former phone company's first delivery to the digital health market since acquiring Withings, a move that came shortly after they first announced they were eyeing the industry a little less than a year ago.
"This is what we have been working towards for last several months. We're ready to travel to the mobile world," Cedric Hutchings, Nokia's VP of Digital Health, told MobiHealthNews in an interview. "It's a completion of our acquisition and it's a realization of what has been a shared vision of who we are in digital health. Now it's really clear and consistent that we have come to users to the market under a single brand, and in doing so, we are moving a step further with the application and platform."
The Health Mate app aims to provide users a holistic view of their health by collecting data from all the connected devices, and the big upgrade will now feature coaching.
"Health Mate already does track vitals, but we've redesigned it to generate new insights and make it easier to find devices, and we also took it a step further to build an in-site behavioral change program, which is really bringing the user experience forward," said Hutchings.
The Patient Care Platform has been tested in a few places in Europe and is currently in use at the UK's National Health Service in a 69,000-person study on remote monitoring for hypertension, and it has also been used by the American Medical Group Association in a 150-person study examining the role of self-measurement in helping patients lower their blood pressure The HIPAA-compliant platform integrates the full Nokia portfolio of connected devices to provide near-real-time data to patients and their healthcare clinicians to help support diagnosis, manage or prevent chronic illness, and ultimately deliver targeted care. It also syncs with the Health Mate App.
The products aren't entirely new, of course. The company launched the connected scale and a smart, FDA-cleared thermometer under Withings last June, and also indicated they would look beyond the direct to consumer space with the announcement of a project with Helsinki University Hospital to develop remote patient monitoring solutions.
Since then, Hutchings said, the company has conducted research to gauge consumer awareness and readiness for Nokia as a digital health company.
"We've been quite comprehensive," he said. "It is a very important and visible moment, and we are realizing very concretely that we are staying as a single and unified company."
The connected devices will be available starting early summer 2017 on Nokia's website and major retail channels including Amazon, Best Buy (US and Canada), Bed Bath & Beyond, and Target, and the redesigned Health Mate app will launch at the same time.

It is said in all the guidebooks that Koh Samui is a perfect place for a beach holiday and a true Bounty paradise.
Each beach of Koh Samui is unique and beautiful in its own way, but their surrounding entertainment and other infrastructure, including markets, restaurants, shops, hotels, bungalows, houses or villas that can be rented for holidays on Koh Samui, vary greatly.
Therefore Samuidays we tell you about everything that can be useful in planning your holiday in Thailand and Koh Samui to make your stay in Samui and the surrounding islands enjoyable at most.
For your convenience while considering tours around Samui or organizing an independent travel we have marked all the beaches of Koh Samui on the island map. Clicking on the name of the beach will take you to the corresponding description of the beach, accompanied by a short video. Our map of Koh Samui has 25 beaches.
Also, in the description of each beach (you can leave a reviews to each beach) we will mention about what to expect, and what should not be expected when visiting different parts of this truly heavenly place, which includes not only Samui, but also its surrounding islands: Koh Phangan, Koh Tao and the islands of the Ang Thong Marine Park.
In the description of the beaches of Koh Samui we tried to give only the facts, there will be no travelers' tales of how it used to be here before, and why things are the way they are now..
The description of the majority of Koh Samui beaches is accompanied with a video shot on the beach. Each video demonstrates: the type of sand, what the beach and the sea in every district of the island look like. The videos were filmed mostly on a cloudy day, but even in this weather it is clear how nice Koh Samui beaches are. And on a sunny day they are just lovely!
We have written a detailed and very useful article "Beaches of Koh Samui" - be sure to read it in order to have a general idea about what the beaches on the island of Koh Samui look like. Photos of the beaches can be found in the description of each beach. Also we have arranged a map of the beaches including their suitability for swimming, and another beautiful map with all Koh Samui hotels and attractions.
<< prev 1 2 | show all
This bay is
the one closest to Koh Phangan – only 8.5 km. and is located in the northern part
of the island. Samrong bay is situated in the cape of the same name. The beach
line is about 200 meters of hard-grained sand surrounded by picturesque cliffs
which protect this bay from winds and waves. There are big rocks on the banks
and on the bottom so be careful. >>
On the
highest peak of Samrong cape there are two little known beaches which nevertheless
are very popular among the owners of luxurious hotels and villas situated here.
On the left a little to the west there is a Samrong beach. On the right to the
east there is a Thongson beach where you can find a few budget bungalows which
you can rent while sharing this beach with guests of luxurious resorts.
It is
getting harder with each year to find a quiet beautiful and lonesome beach
without annoying sellers and crowds of tourists. One of such places preserved
in its natural state is Tongsai beach. Probably because of its small size -
about 120 meters it has been lost somewhere between rocky banks which make
getting to the beach rather uncomfortable. The only way you can get to the
beach is through the Tongsai Bay hotel which covered all the entrances to the
beach keeping it private for the customers. >>
Choeng Mon
Beach is a nice and quiet place surrounded by tropical green on the north-east of the
Samui island. The beach line can be different -white fine sand in one part can be
replaced with coarser yellow one in another part of the beach. >>
Chaweng Yai Beach
is located in Northern part of Chaweng beach. It is a snow-white stretch of sand,
about 2 km long, which connects to a small island Koh Matlang in its central
area. During low tides you can walk there on foot.
The whole
sea coast is built-up with luxurious hotels where you will mostly find wealthy
family people from Western Europe. That
is why the nightlife here is not so intense. There are lots of shops, renting
offices, good restaurants and massage parlors. >>

Taking last mile delivery one step too far?
I don't know about you, but I do not need someone to deliver fresh groceries to my refrigerator when I am not home. My lack of a "need" in this area may however be a minority opinion in this case as tests are underway in Sweden for this exact service. Three companies have come together to develop and test a courier service that will provide messengers with access to your home. The use of this innovative delivery service requires the installation of an add-on lock developed by Swedish company Glue AB. This lock allows messengers to enter your home via smartphone app, however home owners must remotely approve the access request. PostNord AB, a Scandinavian courier company, and ICA AB, a supermarket chain, are set to test this new delivery concept together with Glue AB in 20 homes across Stockholm. The group has promised that their messengers will unpack the grocery deliveries and of course remove their shoes before entering the home. This new venture is one of many in the global race to find the most efficient and practical last mile delivery solution.

Nike expands Logistics Campus in Belgium with focus on sustainability
Nike recently revealed the latest expansion of its logistics center in Belgium as the company aims to integrate more agility and resilience into its supply chain operations and serve customers faster. This single inventory location serves the company's online operations, retail stores and wholesale partners across 38 countries. The advanced logistics center employs 3,000 people and ships over one billion units of apparel, equipment and footwear worldwide across the centralized network each year. A guiding theme throughout the expansion was a focus on sustainable operations as the company pursues its vision for a low-carbon, closed-loop future.
The new features of the expanded facility serve as great examples of Nike's pursuit to achieve its vision of sustainable operations. The entire logistics campus, for example, is run on 100% locally generated renewable energy, including wind, solar, hydroelectric, biomass and geothermal. Furthermore, the surrounding infrastructure allows for 99% of inbound containers to arrive by water, not road, which significantly reduces the amount of truck deliveries each year. Additionally, Nike will be recycling 95% of the waste it generates on-site.

For retailers, it's beginning to look a lot like…Christmas?
Many U.S. retailers are struggling to generate foot traffic, and as a result, inventory levels are becoming a concern. After a sluggish first quarter due to an unseasonably warm winter, many clothing retailers are now also struggling to work through their spring collections. To make matters worse, Christmas is just six months away, which means it is time to start placing orders for the holiday season. The problem: many retailers do not know where to start when it comes to forecasting for this year's holiday rush. If the first quarter and slow start to the second quarter are used as indicators, many retailers will be placing very conservative orders. According to Steve Barr, a U.S. retail and consumer sector leader at PwC, many retailers are expected to exercise "tremendous discipline" when it comes to inventory levels.
One strategy some retailers have turned to is cutting the number of any given article of clothing on the shelf, with the goal of creating a sense of urgency to buy. Other retailers have made adjustments to their supply chain operations in an effort to be more responsive to style changes and trends.

Over the years much of the public discussion about keeping wetlands on the landscape has been around wetlands regulation. Since the 1990 Mitigation Memorandum of Agreement (http://www.epa.gov/owow/wetlands/
regs/mitigate.html) required mitigation of wetlands under the Section 404 program, there has been considerable discussion about replacing wetlands either on site or through some other mechanism such as wetland mitigation banks or in lieu fee. This has also required the science of wetlands restoration to receive an enormous amount of attention and as a result, government, consultants, scientists and even the general public are much more knowledgeable about wetland restoration now than 30 years ago.
What is less well known is that during roughly the same period another federal agency was becoming the nation's leading expert in successful wetlands restoration. By 2008 the Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS) had restored two million acres of wetlands through the Wetland Reserve Program alone. In addition NRCS also provided funding and/or technical expertise to wetland restoration in other NRCS and USDA programs including the Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program, Conservation Reserve Program, Environmental Quality Incentives Program and Emergency Watershed Program. In the process NRCS learned a lot and they have excellent information to share.
In the late 1990s I worked for NRCS in the same national office that implemented the Wetlands Reserve Program. It was apparent that NRCS' experience in restoring bottomland hardwoods—probably the bulk of WRP acres–was extensive and they were providing detailed information to their staff on correct storage of acorns and seedlings, planting timing, flooding or water requirements, etc. This knowledge had not come easily. Initially there had been consensus that simply leaving these floodplain landscapes alone and allowing them to heal themselves would be enough. But eventually NRCS staff came to understand that 200 years of clearing, draining, building dams and levees, and other alterations had changed the hydrology of North America's farmland. Restoring wetlands—even a restoration project of 1,000-3,000 acre–was a mere postage stamp on a much larger altered landscape. Wetlands would not return on their own. They needed help–sometimes a little and sometimes a lot.
In general, the more altered the landscape, the more wetlands restoration would cost. This is why wetland mitigation is so expensive. Replacing wetlands in urban landscapes with all the roads, parking lots, buildings and other structures that change hydrology requires a lot more resources than rural landscapes and even rural landscapes require work.

What would you do if the world ended tomorrow? A Sunrise Off-Grid 2012 review
For the weekend, the goers of Sunrise Off-Grid were a group of architects of other existences who, besides dancing, arrow firing, dome building and gong bathing, drew up new societies. They thought up other ways people can organise themselves, so that more people can have access to decent food, clean energy, materials and homes. Together, they looked into how to turn philosophies into practices, in order to answer the question the event was based around: What would you do if the world ended tomorrow?
If you could imagine for a moment, a world in which the state and its institutions, the organisations and the corporations, were not there to give us support, or if there were no imports and consequently, no supermarkets or petrol stations, then where, you might ask, would we get our resources from and how would we function? The response from the Off-Gridders was simple: We will sort it out ourselves, working on the notion that if people were able to provide for themselves, then we would not rely so heavily on the larger, resource-supplying bodies; the middlemen.
The weekend was not, however, a training camp that was preparing us for an apocalyptic disaster. Rather, these aforementioned questions simply provided a field in which we could have the debate about how to make changes in our lives. Changes, so that we can supply our needs, without ripping someone else off or being ripped off ourselves, which is the current running model of things. The weekend then, consisted of talks, walks, transcendence and expeditions, theatre, time-travel and dance, with some tea drinking and potion making too. Off-Gridders, connected to their roots on the earth, gathered in the grounds of Fernhill Farm, in the Mendips. They gathered to the sound of drum beats and the smell of chai spices that rose from many of the fires. They were there to gauge the patterns of the past and to direct the next sequence.
Sunrise Off-Grid was a place of education. We looked at movements from the past, which campaigned for social change and our gaze took us as far back as the seventeenth century. Back to a volatile time in England, a time of two Civil Wars and two groups who came close to changing the way the laws of this land were given out. We visited the Diggers and the True Levellers and their campaign for land and a more emancipatory society, where governance of people took place on a person-to-person level, rather than from the top down by priests and lords. The Diggers and the True Levellers held that, since God created us all as equals, the land belonged to all the people as a right. They also held the first and second commandments: 'Love thy lord and Love thy neighbour as thy love thyself' as all-encompassing of the other laws, which were regarded as superfluous next to these commandments. The True Levellers believed they could create a classless society by seizing land and holding it in common.
The levellers were a group of radical thinkers and debaters whose ideas were rising in popularity during the English Civil War period between 1642-1651, which was between King Charles' royalists and Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army. Cromwell supported many of the Levellers' ideas and many involved in the movement were part of the New Model Army, where we have reports of Leveller soldiers debating with the Generals. The Levellers published their demands:
· Power to be vested in the people
· One year Parliaments, elected by equal numbers of voters per seat. The right to vote for all men who worked independently for their living and all those who had fought for the Parliamentary cause
· Recall of any or all of their MPs by their electors at any time
· Abolition of the House of Lords
· Democratic election of army officers
· Complete religious toleration and the abolition of tithes and tolls
· Justices to be elected; law courts to be local and proceedings to be in English [not French!]
· Redistribution of seized land to the common people
Oliver Cromwell found their demands too radical for the new order to implement so with the next outbreak of violence, many of the key leaders in the movement were killed. Interestingly, there are still similarities today with the time the Diggers and True Levellers, so we then looked at campaigns closer to us in history and we discussed contemporary squatting, which is now illegal in residential properties. The Kindness Offensive described the squatting mentality held by groups that go into dilapidated old buildings and 'do them up', so that they can be used as fully-functioning homes or social centres holding cinema nights, libraries, cafes or other social, community, services . In discussions afterward, people shared their views on squatting, some said the squats they have been to have been hubs of activity. Others described some of them as open houses where passing travellers stayed for a while, as if it were an inn for the moving, undercurrent, of travellers today. Others found squatting in buildings or on land as an eye saw. They believe there is simply not enough land now for everyone to lay claim to, in some sort of free for all and that the sight of vans, trailers and horseboxes pulled up onto a field was an eye sore to the countryside.
I spent a great deal of time with two radicals from the 1960s and it was the first time I'd heard first hand stories from the time of the first explosion of psychedelic culture. It was a time when people were questioning their social surroundings. their culture and their position within it. I noticed there were a lot of people at Sunrise Off-Grid who had questioned themselves; the position they were naturally placed in, socially, culturally and by society and some were happy with it. Others, had made alterations. In the 1960s, this was happening massively and it became the popular youth culture; to collectively challenge the status quo, to the point where that was the trend. "Taking Acid, well, it was the thing to do then, you were either on the bus or off, and being on the bus, well, it was fun," said my friend Claudia. I have in the past wondered what it must have been like to have been in that swell of movement and excitement, where there was popular belief that people were really making progress and changing and moving towards a better place. As Hunter S. Thompson wrote:
"There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing we was right, that we were winning. And that, I think, was the handle – that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or Military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting – on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave."
That was a start of something perhaps, maybe the works of those activists, those hundreds of thousands who joined together in Washington in 1968, but who never able to complete the project in only one generation. To stop all wars, for world peace and for no one to be hungry, is a challenge that cannot be completed in one generation and probably still not in ours, but does that mean efforts should not be made? I left with a clear feeling, after being in touch with many movements, practitioners and communities that we can take lessons from the people in the past, not to not bother because they did not fully succeed but to learn the reasons of why they didn't and move on.

Gill seeking hat-trick of wins
Noumea, May 15 : Gaurav Gill and co-driver Glenn Macneall will be looking to achieve a hat-trick of wins in the Rallye New Caledonia, the second round of the 2014 FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championship to be run here this weekend.
Driving Team MRF's Skoda Fabia S2000, Gill, who last year became the first Indian to win the APRC title, has enjoyed a good start to the new season with a win in New Zealand last month ahead of team-mate and European champion Jan Kopecky (co-driver Pavel Dresler) who also does development work for Skoda.
Having won here the previous two years, Gill knows the stages well. In a recent interview, he commented that his driving has become more refined over recent seasons.
However, while Gill will be brimming with confidence, Kopecky, in his debut APRC season, will have a steep learning curve ahead of him as he starts the rally for the first time.
That should not bother him too much though. The Czech star led in New Zealand after the first day, and it was only a big attack from Gill on day two that relegated him to second place.
Team MRF boss, Lane Heenan, expected his drivers to once again be the pace setters this weekend, as was the case in New Zealand.
"As a team, we've been running the APRC for several seasons now and we have things running very smoothly," Heenan said. "The Skoda Fabia S2000 is a great car and has proved perfect for this championship, as have the MRF tyres that the cars run."
"Gaurav won in New Caledonia last year, but we saw in New Zealand that Jan can be extremely competitive right from the very first stage, so we're expecting another good battle between our two drivers this weekend. It's going to be another exciting rally."
The Rallye New Caledonia comprises 700 km with 235 km of Special Stages. The competitors will tackle 17 stages, the longest being the 17.10 km 'Paita' test, which will be run three times.
The rally is run north of the city of Noumea with road conditions traditionally proving challenging, particularly if the weather is wet.(IANS)

36-hour live SuperPod aiming to raise money for Comic Relief
The Southampton SuperPod will bring together podcasters from all over the city, and beyond, for a special live broadcast that will be the biggest podcast of all time.
This ambitious charity event will take place the weekend directly after Red Nose Day, beginning at 9am on Saturday 25th March and running until 10pm on Sunday 26th March and will be held at the Grand Harbour Hotel in Southampton. The SuperPod will be broadcast live online, through streaming website Mixlr, as well as on www.superpod.co.uk.
Al Galpin, host of the Dead Piett Society Podcast, is the organiser of the event. After listening to the 24 hour Twitter Comic podcast held in Southampton last year, he was inspired to bring more podcasters together for the biggest podcast possible. Al reached out to other podcasters he knew and searched out other local shows he was previously unfamiliar with.
"The response I had was brilliant, lots of people were excited to be a part of this and the event has really grown from what I had originally envisioned. I've discovered so many other great podcasts that I hadn't heard of before and that's part of the fun of an event like this; it will showcase some great shows and hopefully bring them to people who may not have heard of them otherwise."
There will also be the exciting opportunity for someone to start their own brand new podcast as part of the event, with a slot on Sunday afternoon being reserved for the occasion. The SuperPod team want to show that anyone can become a podcaster.
"There are lots of people around town who are experts in particular fields, have strong interests in something or just have a lot of great stories to tell. I want to give some of these people the chance to come along on Sunday and host their own show. We'll have the technical side covered; you just need a voice and a discussion topic."
About Southampton SuperPod
The Southampton SuperPod is a non-stop 36 hour live internet broadcast which will include shows from such podcasts as Gallifrey Stands, 2 Grown Men, Dead Piett Society, The Dredgeland Podcast Spectacular and many more. More shows are being added all the time. To learn more visit www.superpod.co.uk, or find us on Twitter, @sotonsuperpod. Donations will be taken via the Red Nose Day giving page, which can be found via the website.

For hundreds of years watches were made with just three materials: brass, steel, and ruby bearings. Patek Philippe is often considered the guardian of watchmakng's most elegantly conservative high craftsmanship (with prices that match its peerless quality). But with its new limited-edition 5550P perpetual calendar, it's taken a bold leap into a high tech future.
The 5550P uses components made from silicon, a material usually associated with integrated circuits, into the very heart of the watch: the escapement, the part of the watch that actually keeps time. Using cutting edge fabrication techniques, the new escapement–dubbed the Oscillomax by Patek–incorporates ultra strong, ultra light silicon into the balance, lever, and hairspring of the watch to produce a mechanism highly resistant to shock, dramatically more mechanically efficient, and immune to the effects of magnetism (which can seriously disrupt the timekeeping of mechanical watches.) This groundbreaking creation is integrated with a perpetual calendar mechanism, which automatically adjusts the date to the correct length for any month–even during a leap year.
Only 300 examples of the ref. 5550P Perpetual Calendar will be available world wide. Get 'em while they're haute.
Jack Forster is the Editor in Chief of Revolution Magazine, a quarterly publication celebrating the world of fine watchmaking, and he also manages Revolution Online www.revo-online.com, the foremost information and discussion site on the internet for watch enthusiasts.

'World's largest book sale' comes to Middle East
DUBAI - A gargantuan touring book sale that touts itself as the world's largest is making its first stop in the Middle East, filling a huge hangar in Dubai with stacks of 3 million discounted books, open around the clock.
The Big Bad Wolf Book Sale, launched in Kuala Lumpur in 2009, has since regularly toured Asian cities including Jakarta, Manila, Cebu, Colombo, Bangkok and Taipei. Organisers hope to attract as many as 300,000 visitors during 11 days in Dubai.
Founder Andrew Yap said he expects the sheer number of books will lure in punters.
"In a mature market like Dubai, this will give variety to readers," he said.
Roudha Al Marri, an Emirati co-author of a guide to life in the UAE whose own book was on sale at the fair, said a city such as Dubai needed such an event to help spur reading among a "tablet generation" preoccupied with screens.
"To hold a book, smell it, to return us to more beautiful days, to throw us into mazes of stories. Every generation needs this," she said.

Part of my responsibility as your State Representative is to make sure any person or group from our district understands that your beautiful Texas Capitol belongs as much to you as any other Texan. If you or someone you know would like to visit during this session, please feel free to contact our Austin office and we would be honored to assist in facilitating a visit.
With that, here's an update from your State Capitol. . .
Meetings, hearings, and East Texans at the Capitol:
We had another busy week in the House Public Education Committee, as we spent over six hours in committee and heard over 20 bills regarding everything from PreK to advancing technology in our schools. Though we didn't vote on any of these bills, this is the first committee hearing where members were given the opportunity to ask questions about specific pieces of legislation, and hear from the authors, as well as expert witnesses, on their intent behind their proposals. As we move deeper into session, the duration of these committee hearings will only get longer while we consider the many bills aimed at improving our education system throughout the state.
I also had the opportunity to sit down with a number of county judges who were here with the Association of Rural Communities. We had a productive discussion about the importance of local control and visited about the various ways our state can help preserve the vitality of our rural communities. As a rural Texan, I have a deep appreciation for the work our rural community leaders do to preserve our way of life, and I will continue to do my part to defend and help support these communities in any way that I can at the state level.
Two of my colleagues and I had the honor of joining representatives from Sam Houston State University for a reception commemorating Sam Houston's 226th birthday. We were graciously recognized and given an award for our assistance in helping the University establish their College of Osteopathic Medicine. I'm delighted that this new program is moving forward as it will ultimately benefit our entire region by providing increased access to quality medical care throughout East Texas.
Trent Ashby represents District 57 in the Texas House of Representatives, which includes Madison County.

A Conversation for Ghost Towns
Cyprus Ghost Town(s)
KateBygrave Started conversation Mar 2, 2007
There is an abandoned town on the mediterranean island of Cyprus, I cannot recall its name, but you can find it on Google Earth if you know where to look.
It is situated in the 'no-mans land' between the Greek and Cypriot borders on the northern coast.
Apparently it was vacated as part of the hostilies there and no-one is permitted to enter.
There may be others too.

Should You Watch Satellite TV Online?
There is often a defined gui for the channel management. No more worries about locating the TV programs by means of the links since it automatically gets directed into your user interface channel management device.. It is so easy to get hold with the PC satellite TV software to observe satellite TV online. It can be bought at several PC satellite TV software download sites. . Included are over 1000 satellite r / c to choose from. I have been using the same software to observe the Super Bowl, sports, hunting episodes among numerous others.. Also, also, they are offered in the English language. You can usually find them in your own languages like Portuguese, Spanish, and French etc.. So how creates this change new technology work and how much will it cost? Amazingly payable less than what you're currently paying to view your favorite programs..
Overall, I have been very satisfied with all the Satellite TV for PC software because it is really good value for money. The picture and audio quality is very high too, making this a great option to look at cable TV online.. Some with the many local programs that you will be able to observe include old classical movies, Fox, CBS, ABC NBC, CNN, BBC and several other online news channels from around the globe..
Simply, you might be considered a grownup at home and adults don't view tv. Well, you cannot contest that in particular when its your teenage son or daughter as the plaintiff. Look at it in this manner. . You may have been subscribing monthly for TV services but thought it might be good if you find a cheaper option. To watch satellite TV online, all it takes is using the PC satellite TV software. Such software doesn't carry a monthly subscription cost. . Paying $30-$90 each month is sometimes sickening; you are able to stop paying your hard-earned money if you really want. You could have in the bank to $350 12 months; you'll be able to buy lots of things with that cost..
Now, as increasing numbers of people get internet access so when computer ownership climbs higher every day, it is really possible to guess in which the future of watching satellite TV online would be. . It is also a cheaper way to view TV as compared to satellite and cable services. . With this program, I can watch many groups of channels including live sports, movies, TV shows, educational, geographic, news, adult, or anything else. . Then also, it provides a lot different TV programs for viewing. The internet happens to be a host to several TV programs. The thing is, these programs are live as well as good quality.. This new technology is beginning to change the ways the common family watches TV. You no longer need to sit within your living room just to watch your favorite programs; you'll be able to take them anywhere you go even if you are traveling abroad. .
In relation to its variety and number of channels, this method is even a lot better than a standard cable TV subscription package which typically offers 100s of stations. New channels may also be being constantly added while they go live, and wouldn't cost the user any other payments.. People want to look at their favorite TV channels wherever they're, inside office, on the plane, abroad, about the toilet etc. Which one do you think you're moving towards? Saving money or convenience?. Anyway online TV is a fresh way that stations all over the world are offering liberal to air channels.

Statement for the Museum of Business Commerce and Wealth
The tripartite focus of this museum will be: business (small and large) and their histories; penultimately, corporations that have metamorphosed into huge conglomerates and transnationals; and, ultimately, enterprising individuals who by dint of hard work and brains, have created companies and amassed impressive wealth. The museum will assuredly posit no graceless "lifestyle of the rich and famous" ethos, but, will be more a place for the robust inquiry into the role that businesses and companies have had on the lives of the citizenry. Moreover, it will look at the democratic impulses that have animated the wealthy.
The last century and millennium witnessed the remarkable and triumphant rise of commerce and its concomitant: wealth.
The creation of both have occurred principally in liberal, relaxed democratic societies, seedbed of wealth. Aside from the usual brick and mortar building the museum will be a virtual one, with a significant cyber presence. Committed as it is to the scholarly study of business, commerce and wealth, the museum will partner with all educational institutes and organizations (on six continents) to mount exhibits and promote learning. The financial underpinning for the museum will come from all sources of good will: individuals, groups, companies, organizations and governments.
Museum of Business, Commerce and Wealth is committed to the appreciation of the three subjects in its name, an as such will mount exhibits covering these areas:

This course is one of a four-course series entitled Anyone Can Learn Math, which is designed to help teachers make math accessible to all students. The other three courses in the series are:
Although Math Made Easy is NOT a prerequisite for the other three courses, it does provide a foundation for them. Math Made Easy, Learning Math in Groups, and Stress Free Math all require one book entitled Math for Humans by Mark Wahl. The fourth class, Learning Math through Writing, requires a separate book entitled Writing in Math Class by Marilyn Burns.
Not everyone can learn math by working independently, especially if they already struggle with the subject. Some students need to interact with others while learning. It should also be noted that the new Common Core State Standards requires students to be able to solve problems while working with others. The content in Learning Math in Groups EDUO 9523 is design to give teachers the skills needed to implement cooperative learning while teaching math. Doing so will help move their curriculum more inline with the new standards as well as reach the students that require a more social approach to learning.
After completing the course Learning Math in Groups, you will demonstrate or indicate:
B.A., M.S. in Counseling Clinical School Psychology
K-12 School Psychologist 20+ years.
Collegiate Professional Development Coordinator, Developer, and Instructor 16+.
"I take pride in helping educators enhance student learning while bringing passion into their classrooms."
Ryan loves spending time with family and friends, especially outdoors. His favorite activities include snowboarding, golf, and hiking.
