President Donald Trump said on Saturday he was grateful to Special Counsel Robert Mueller for a statement disputing a BuzzFeed News report that Trump directed his former lawyer to lie to Congress about a Moscow real estate deal.
"I appreciate the special counsel coming out with a statement last night. I think it was very appropriate that they did so," Trump told reporters at the White House. "I think that the BuzzFeed piece was a disgrace to our country. It was a disgrace to journalism."
The statement by Mueller's office on Friday evening disputed key elements of the BuzzFeed report.

Especially after seeing the below clip of Jennifer and Emma at the 2018 Academy Awards.
Oscars host Jimmy Kimmel used his opening monologue to poke fun at last year's La La Land and Moonlight mix-up.
"This year, when you hear your name called, don't get up right away," Kimmel told the crowd. "Give us a minute."
The camera panned to Emma, and in the shot viewers could see a cackling Jennifer pointing a finger at her friend.
Oh, how we love these two!

text: The newly established Alliance for Progressives (AP) is reportedly facing a major financial headache ahead of its planned countrywide launches due to financial challenges. Following its glitz and glamor launch in Gaborone last weekend, expectations were that the party will immediately launch in Francistown. Launches being an expensive venture, sources say, the executive committee wanted to take advantage of the current momentum to carry out launches. AP vice president, Wynter Mmolotsi admitted that they wanted to take advantage of the wave of frenzy amongst the general public and launch the party in Francistown sooner than later. "All things equal, it was always going to be superlative and progressive enough to take the party to the country's four cardinal points as soon as possible. But it is not going to be," admitted Mmolotsi. They had set themselves a target of finishing all the launches across the country by February 2018. Mmolotsi said the Gaborone event left them financially battered. He said the Gaborone launch was the most expensive because the party had to design and print banners, T-shirts and all the necessary merchandise. "We were left in serious financial doldrums. And it is difficult for the business community to come on board because they fear backlash from the (Botswana Democratic Party. So we are surviving on the little from members," said Mmolotsi. He said the AP is currently accruing revenue from membership fees. According to Mmolotsi, sitting Members of Parliament (MPs) and councilors are indebted to a monthly contribution of P1 000 and P400 respectively, as a way of raising funds for the party. Mmolotsi lamented that the members who signed for membership cards at the Gaborone launch did not add up well to match the desired figures. However, Mmolotsi expressed optimism that their plans will be fulfilled. AP Francistown regional chairperson Jonathan Thembo said they had initially planned to launch the party in Francistown late this month or early December. However, Thembo admitted that the initial plans will not go as planned. Thembo could not confirm or deny suggestions that the Francistown launch has been moved to a yet to be ascertained date next year.

Cheneys Welcome Bidens At V.P. Mansion
Vice President-elect Joe Biden got a tour of his new home from the outgoing occupant, Vice President Dick Cheney.
"The Vice President-elect and Dr. Jill Biden met with Vice President Cheney and his wife Lynne at the Naval Observatory this evening," said Biden spokesperson Elizabeth Alexander in a statement. "The Bidens thank the Cheneys for welcoming them into their home and for their gracious hospitality."
Biden arrived Thursday at the Naval Observatory, the home for vice presidents, with his wife. They were greeted with smiles by Cheney and his wife, Lynne.
Biden said, "Mr. Vice President, how are you doing?"
Cheney replied, "Joe, how are you." He congratulated Biden on his victory.
"It was a good visit," Cheney Press Secretary Megan Mitchell said in a statement. "The Cheneys enjoyed giving the Bidens a tour of the residence and wished them well as they make it their home in January."
The meeting lasted a little over 50 minutes. The Vice President and his successor are believed to have discussed the transition of power.
Biden has called Cheney "the most dangerous vice president we've had probably in American history" and said he couldn't name a single good thing Cheney had done. But even if he won't acknowledge any similarities, there's one way that Biden wants to be like Cheney a strong partner in governing the country.
Biden is proving to be a hands-on No. 2 to President-elect Barack Obama. He is carving out his own niche, specializing in foreign affairs, his area of expertise for decades in the Senate, and sticking close to Obama.
Past vice presidents have often been relegated to ceremonial roles, without major input on daily decisions. But the last two vice presidents, Cheney and Al Gore, have been extraordinarily involved and insisted on private weekly lunches with their bosses.
Biden has said he told Obama, before accepting the running mate slot, that he wouldn't want a peripheral assignment like reorganizing government, which Gore took on, along with other tasks. In an interview with New Yorker magazine last month, he said he told Obama: "I don't want to be a vice president who is not part of the major decisions you make."
Biden himself will have an experienced aide who can help his voice be heard in the White House. He chose former Gore chief of staff Ron Klain to fill the same job for him, Democrats said Thursday.
Biden will certainly have a special interest in the Iraq war, with his son scheduled to deploy there this month.
So far, Biden has been working closely with Obama. He has been in almost all the president-elect's meetings at his new government office space in Chicago and has been dispatched to make calls to several foreign leaders.

06.05.2019 - Hamburg
Teams from Brazil, the United States and Canada dominate the list if women's teams who have qualified for the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships presented by comdirect and ALDI Nord.
The draw for the biggest event of the year will take place on June 4 and the first entry list contains a host of top names out to etch their names into beach volleyball history when the action gets under way in Hamburg on June 28.
Leading the list of qualifiers from the FIVB top-23, however, are Czech stars Marketa Sluková and Barbora Hermannová, who will be playing in their second championships together as a team.
Last season's Vienna Major winners and World Tour Finals runners-up from the Czech Republic face a field packed with quality as the Rothenbaum Stadium welcomes the beach elite from all corners of the globe.
Of the top 15 teams who qualified through their world ranking, four are Brazilian, four hail from the United States and two come from Canada.
Brazil and the US both have strength in all four teams, with the South Americans able to call on Agatha/Duda, Barbara/Fernanda, Maria Antonelli/Carol Salgado and in-form rising stars Ana Patricia/Rebecca, who make their World Championship debuts.
The US are led by 2009 champion and 2017 runner-up April Ross and teammate Alix Klineman, who makes her World Championship debut. The American dream is also pinned on Larsen/Stockman and the up-and-coming talents of Hughes/Summer and Sponcil/Claes.
World ranking stars Brandie Wilkerson/Heather Bansley and Sarah Pavan and Melissa Humana-Paredes will be aiming to give Canada their first ever World Championship medal at the beach. The two teams are joined by rising stars from US college beach volleyball, 21-year-old twins Nicole and Megan McNamara, the 2018 World University champions.
Host nation Germany currently hold the title following Laura Ludwig and Kira Walkenhorst's 2017 triumph in Vienna. While Laura, back from a baby break, and new partner did not make the first cut, it is hugely likely reigning Olympic champ Ludwig will be handed a wildcard.
Following the break-up of Ludwig/Walkenhorst, a host of new teams have formed – and three of those have already guaranteed themselves a spot in Hamburg thanks to their ranking points, giving the hosts a great chance to keeping the title on home sand.
The four teams already assured of a spot are Ittlinger/Laboureur, Borger/Sude, Bieneck/Schneider and Behrens/Tillmann, who will all have the support the of the Rothenbaum crowd.
Around the World
From Australia (Clancy/Artacho and Palmer/Laird) to Argentina (Gallay/Pereya), teams from all corners of the globe will descend on Hamburg.
Among teams making their World Championships debuts will be seven of the eight players who qualified from the African pathway, including 2016 Olympian Doaa Elgohbashy and teammate Randa Radwan from Egypt.
Popular Japanese pairing Miki Ishii and Megumi Murakami, who finished fifth in Gstaad last season, will also make their World Champs debut having qualified through the Asian confederation.
Rising stars from Latvia, 21-year-old Tina Graudina – last season's Rookie of the Year – and teammate Anastasija Kravcenoka, 22 are also among the European qualifiers, along with Marleen van Iersel who will make her sixth World Championship appearance alongside Joy Stubbe.
Wildcards will be announced in due course, with the final confirmed entry list due for publication on May 27 before the Drawing of Lots on June 4.

What is DXer.ca?
This website is dedicated to the promotion and enjoyment of long distance radio listening - also known as DXing.
DX is ham radio shorthand for "distance" - and although ham radio is an entirely different hobby, we share a lot of the common attributes (especially the positive ones!).
Photo right - one layout of my "shack" (the newer version is way more cluttered!)
A little history: There has been a DX hobby since Marconi received a radio signal from England on Signal Hill, St. Johns Newfoundland - considered quite the feat at the time.
In the 21st century, there are still opportunities for long distance radio reception - plenty of them in fact. Any AM radio, large or small is a good place to start. Most people have "DXed" radio stations and not even realized that they are engaged in our hobby. A quirk of AM radio is - at night-time, AM signals can carry for hundreds and thousands of miles - and not all of them use that much power. So. We at DXer.ca enjoy long distant AM radio reception as well as chasing exotic locales on the Shortwave dial - and I know what you are thinking: What is Shortwave? Well. I will be answering that question in a whole article coming up...
Send us an e-mail -
Nick Hall-Patch - Nick (photo at right) and I met in 1975. He was 26 and I was 15. We collaborated on some fine DX seasons - particularly in 1976 when some of the best TA conditions existed in years.
Some years later, we have not aged one day! Electronics technologist and radio enthusiast since the late sixties, Nick uses a Drake R8 for trans-oceanic MW DXing, as well as a Dymek DR333 and an RFSpace SDR-14 for propagation studies.
He is technical editor for the IRCA, has edited several editions of A DXer's Technical Guide and been known to write the occasional article himself. He resides in Victoria, B.C. Canada near the colorful Oak Bay border (less than 4 KM from where I live.)
Free Rare Audio! Ian McFarland of Radio Canada International links up with The Two Bob's of Radio Netherlands and others in this 1981 fully unedited Joint Hook-up - the topic being the 1981 ANARC Convention and the year of the Handicapped Aid Program for SWL's and DXers -
Dr. Walter Salmaniw MD - (photo right) Walt has been a radio enthusiast since the sixties while growing up in southern Ontario. He became a doctor while in the Canadian Army and has lived overseas.
Until recently, his greatest ambition was to own at least one boat-anchor receiver (old, big, tube-type) but has since fallen in love with modern technology (Perseus, AOR7030+, Ten-Tec, etc) - Yup, they all come around eventually. Walt lives near Dallas Road (in Victoria) with his fabulous radio collection, a new Wellbrook ALA100 active-loop antenna as well as his understanding wife Wanda.
Walter enjoys all aspects of the radio hobby - especially travel... and his top secret seasonal get-away (at Haida Gawii).
Lately he has gotten into software defined radios like the Perseus - which makes his actual tonnage of radio gear somewhat lighter. We like his enthusiasm and dedication to the hobby. He is also handy to know if you have a headache or dislocated shoulder from falling out of the Cyprus tree!
Walt, Nick and yours truly are collaborating on installing an active Kiwi WebSDR on the Haida Gwaii for the ultimate in DX reception and condition predicting.
Your editor - Colin Newell (photo left) - Creator of the DXer.CA web page and radio enthusiast since 1971, Colin became an electronics technician/technologist in the late seventies and early eighties. Growing up on the farm meant plenty of room for antennas. Modern living in the urban jungle has forced Colin to become more creative with antenna solutions.
His primary receiver is the Drake R8 and he uses a Wellbrook ALA100 active loop for wide band reception. He also depends on the Kenwood R2000, a variety of portables like the Sony 7600G, the Grundig Yacht-Boy 400PE, the Eton E1 and a small pile of ultra-light portables.
He just added a Kiwi WebSDR to his quiver of nifty radio tools - currently in test mode.
He is the creator and editor of Canada's beloved Cafe Culture website and blog - CoffeeCrew.Com. TV writing credits include a very brief one episode stint on CSI Las Vegas, an appearance on WTN's "The Shopping Bags", and one too many radio interviews. He is the primary media contact for DXer.ca... I mean, as if!
The DXer.ca Coffee Social - From time to time (usually once every few months) we invade a local cafe, drink coffee and talk story about all things radio. If you are a Vancouver Island resident or are visiting Vancouver Island and the immediate area, let us know and we will coordinate a social DX-centric event. You will not regret it.
Colin Newell has been writing since the early 1970's - into a notepad... pretty much unseen to the World. His credits include a stint with the CIDX Club in the late 70's and early 80's, an active membership in SPEEDX in its heyday in the 70's and 80's - His radio website, espresso.ts.uvic.ca first appeared in 1995 containing some very basic radio reviews and circuits. Times have changed. The goal of the DXer.ca is to educate and entertain and to bring reviews of the latest receivers and antennas to our readership.
Colin also builds the Misek-Lankford Phaser and offers them to select active DXers around the globe. His series of remote VACTROL units for Flag/Pennant/KAZ antennas have also been hot ticket items. E-mail Colin for details.
Any questions about the Amateur radio hobby or SWLing / DXing or looking for an expert to talk on the subject of radio, technology and international media? Send us an e-mail! We have been featured on CBC Radio in Canada as well as other media outlets.

The Oval, currently known for sponsorship reasons as the Kia Oval, is an international cricket ground at Kennington, in the London Borough of Lambeth, South London. The Oval has been the home ground of Surrey County Cricket Club since it was opened in 1845. It is always referred to as "The Oval", and not "the Oval". It was the first ground in England to host international Test cricket in September 1880. The final Test match of the English season is traditionally played there.
In addition to cricket, it has hosted many other sporting occasions and can lay claim to being the most historically important general sports ground in the world. It staged the first FA Cup final in 1872 and was the home of the FA Cup final between 1874 and 1892. In 1870, it staged the first England football international, against Scotland. In 1876, it held the England v Wales and England v Scotland rugby internationals, and in 1877 rugby's first Varsity match.
In 1844, Kennington Oval was a market garden. The Oval was then (and still is) owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. Surrey County Cricket Club was established in 1845. The Duchy was willing to grant a lease of the land for the purpose of a cricket ground, and on 10 March 1845, the club signed a lease with the Otter Trustees, who held the land from the Duchy of Cornwall, 'to convert it into a subscription cricket ground', for 31 years at a rent of £120 per annum plus taxes (£20 more). The original contract for turfing The Oval cost £300; 10,000 grass turfs came from Tooting Common.
In 1868, 20,000 spectators gathered at The Oval for the first game of the 1868 Aboriginal cricket tour of England, the first tour of England by any foreign side. Thanks to C.W. Alcock, the Secretary of Surrey from 1872 to 1907, the first Test match in England was played at The Oval in 1880 between England and Australia. The Oval thereby became the second ground to stage a Test, after the MCG. In 1882, Australia won the Test by seven runs within two days. The Sporting Times printed a mocking obituary notice for English cricket, which led to the creation of the Ashes trophy, which is still contested whenever England plays Australia. The first Test double century was scored at The Oval in 1884 by Australia's Billy Murdoch.
Surrey's ground is noted as having the first floodlights at a sports arena, in the form of gas-lamps, dating to 1889.[2] The current pavilion was completed in time for the 1898 season.[3]
In 1907, South Africa became the 2nd visiting Test team to play a Test match at this venue. In 1928, West Indies played its first Test match at this venue followed by New Zealand in 1931. In 1936, India became the 5th foreign visiting Test side to play at The Oval, followed by Pakistan in 1954 and Sri Lanka in 1998. Zimbabwe and Bangladesh are yet to play a Test match at the venue.
The Oval is referenced by the poet Philip Larkin in his poem about the First World War, "MCMXIV".[4] During World War II, The Oval was requisitioned. Initially, it housed searchlights. It was then turned into a prisoner of war camp intended to be used for enemy parachutists, but since they never came it was never used.[5]
The first One Day International match at this venue was played on 7 September 1973 between England and West Indies. It hosted matches of the 1975, 1979, 1983 and 1999 World Cups. It also hosted five of the fifteen matches in the 2004 ICC Champions Trophy, including the final. The Oval once held the record for the largest playing area of any Test venue in the world. That record has since been surpassed by Gaddafi Stadium in Pakistan, although The Oval remains the largest in Great Britain.
Billionaire Paul Getty, who had a great affinity for cricket and was at one time Surrey CCC President, built a replica of The Oval on his Wormsley Park estate.[6]
The famous gasholders just outside The Oval's wall are actually newer than the ground by several years, having been built around 1853. Now disused, there has been much speculation of late as to whether they should be demolished; however, many believe they are an integral part of The Oval's landscape and therefore their future looks secure.
The North-western end of The Oval is known as the Vauxhall end, as Vauxhall station is situated just outside the grounds in this direction. The opposite end (South-east) is known as the Pavilion end, as it is the location of the members' pavilion.
At the end of the 2002 cricket season, Surrey started redeveloping the Vauxhall End. The development included knocking down the outdated Surridge, Fender, Jardine and Peter May north stands and creating in their place a single four tier grandstand, currently known as the OCS stand, as it is sponsored by Outsourced Client Solutions International Facilities Management Services. This work was completed in May 2005 and increased ground capacity to around 23,000.
In January 2007, Surrey announced plans to increase capacity by a further 2,000 seats, this time by redeveloping the Pavilion End. The Lock, Laker and Peter May south stands will be replaced with a new stand, which will have a hotel backing on to it. The Surrey Tavern at the entrance to the ground will be demolished and a new pedestrian plaza will be created in its place, improving access to the ground and opening up views of the historic pavilion. These plans were delayed by objections raised by the Health & Safety Executive as the ground is close to a gasometer. Planning permission was eventually granted, but not before the credit crunch struck. In 2009, permanent floodlights were installed for use in day/night matches. The floodlights are telescopic and are retracted when not in use.
The Oval was also an important site in the historical development of football, before the game had its own separate national stadium. Football had been played in this part of London for many years prior to the inauguration of The Oval: "The Gymnastic Society", arguably the world's first football club, met regularly at Kennington Common during the second half of the eighteenth century to play the game. [7]
The Oval was home to the first ever international football match on 5 March 1870, The Football Association.[8][9] The game resulted in a 1–1 draw. Similar international matches between England and Scotland took place at The Oval in 1871, in February 1872 and 1873. On 8 March 1873, the England national team beat Scotland 4–2. England would continue to play occasionally at The Oval until 1889.
On 16 March 1872, The Wanderers beat the Royal Engineers 1–0 to win the first ever FA Cup. This final was notable for the Engineers' modern footballing style of teamwork rather than individual play.[10] C. W. Alcock, Secretary of The Football Association, was the prime mover of the competition. He had just become Secretary of Surrey, so that The Oval was the natural choice of venue for the final. Alcock also captained the successful Wanderers side. The Oval hosted all subsequent FA Cup finals (1873 excluded) up until 1892.
The Oval is one of two grounds (Bramall Lane in Sheffield being the other) to have staged both England football and cricket internationals, and also FA Cup finals. The Oval also hosted the second ever Rugby Union international between England and Scotland in 1872 (the first was hosted at Raeburn Place a year earlier).
Between 1872 and 1879, The Oval held 7 full cap international rugby union matches, as follows:
On Wednesday 3 March 1875, The Oval held the final of the United Hospitals Challenge Cup, the oldest rugby union cup competition in the world.
As well as being an International Sporting Venue, The Oval has a conference and events business. The Corinthian Roof Terrace built on the OCS Stand in 2013 features panoramic views of the London skyline.
The ground has also hosted other events, including hockey fixtures and concerts.
The Oval has hosted exhibition matches for Australian rules football. The first such match was held between Carlton and a team of All-Stars in 1972.[11] In 2005, a record crowd for Australian rules football in England (18,884) saw the Fremantle Dockers defeat the West Coast Eagles. In 2012, approximately 10,000 were in attendance for a post-season exhibition match between Port Adelaide and the Western Bulldogs, which Port Adelaide won by 1 point.[12]
In October 2011, the ground served as the practice facility for the NFL's Chicago Bears.
A nearby Victorian gasometer has marked the view from the grounds since the 1800s. A movement to preserve the iconic gasometers across Britain has emerged in recent years with the one visible from The Oval often cited as a landmark example. The skeletal but decorative structure is a landmark in the area, and has become part of The Oval's history and allure. The famed cricket commentator Henry Blofeld once said in a broadcast, "As the bowler runs in, it's so quiet you can hear the creak of the gasometer." When plans to demolish the aging structure were announced in 2013, he stated "In comparison, pulling down the Victoria Memorial in front of Buckingham Palace would be child's play."[13]

We all need to look after our lungs. Work related lung diseases are a big problem that can ruin lives. But how much do you know about lungs and lung health? Why not take a breather (sorry!) and test your knowledge with our fiendish-but-fun Healthy Lungs Quiz?
Thousands of people die from work-related lung diseases every year, in many cases due to exposures that took place years before. Breathing in certain dusts, gases, fumes and vapours in the workplace can cause serious, long-term lung damage.
Increasing our knowledge and awareness of occupational lung diseases and how they can be prevented is an essential first step in tackling the problem, and something that HSE will address in its first Workplace Healthy Lungs Summit in November 2017.
So you think you know about lung health? Let's see…
In the meantime we challenge you to try our Big Fun Healthy Lungs Quiz to find out how much you know. There are no prizes (sorry again), but if you score 8 or more out of 10 (without nipping off to Google stuff) then you can give yourself a decent pat on the back and brag to your colleagues/friends/family.

3 September, 2019
Kerala (Keralam), is God's own country and is famous for its lush greenery, rivers and boat races, scenic mountains, mist and beauty, beautiful traditions, art and literature, and more. Perhaps, if you want to visit Kerala, there is no better time than now. Kerala celebrates its state festival of Onam on the 12th of September, and there are many beautiful traditional events associated with it, that adds to the beauty and memories of a Kerala trip during this time.
The Onam
The people of the state celebrate Onam, in honor of their erstwhile King Mahabali, who was sent down to Pataal by none other than the Vamana avatar of Lord Vishnu. He was a great king, and it is said this kingdom and people prospered under him and the people loved him a lot. He loved his people too, and thus asked that he be allowed to visit his people once a year, and it is this time that the people of the state celebrate Onam.
It is a ten-day festival starting from the Atham day and then ends with Thiruvonam, which is the main day of the festival. There is also a saying in Kerala, which says one must celebrate Onam grandly even if by selling his last piece of property. That is out the love for the King to show that whenever he visits, he should feel that happy that his people are living happily and abundantly.
Hence, people decorate their house with beautiful flower carpets for ten days, and it is family time, as most families get together. Interestingly, though it is a Hindu festival as such, most people in Kerala, across all communities celebrate Onam. On the tenth day is the grand Onam festival, when people wear new clothes, visit temples, and also prepare a grand feast at home. It is called the Sadya, which will have many dishes like avail, porial, rice, sambar, pickle, papadam, paripu, kalan, olan, erissery, puliyinchi, etc. All dishes are vegetarian and are served on a banana leaf, and the family eats together, and many friends too, join in. To top it all, there will also be a payasam, called pradhaman, which is made using many different ingredients.
On the sidelines, many events are unique and interesting, and you can watch these and enjoy. For example, the Payippad Boat Race is one of the oldest and the largest snake boat races of Kerala, held during this time. This year it is scheduled to be held on 13th of Sep, on the Payippad River at Harippad, Alleppey district.
There is also the Pulikkali or the Tiger dance, which is where certain people dress up or paint themselves as tigers and dance like one, in an entertaining way. Traditional drums are beaten to allow the dancers to dance to a beat, and this keeps from moving from slow to fast, and the dance moves of the Pulis also change accordingly. While you can see this many cities of Kerala during this time, the procession that happens in Swaraj Round, Thrissur, on the 14th September, happens to be a big one, with hundreds of people turning up as tigers.
Besides, the state government organizes many cultural events and also arts and crafts fairs in almost all cities of the state. These showcase the unique and attractive traditions of the state, and also the handiwork of the state, most of which is related to coconut, which is abundant in the state. Artifacts made of coir, coconut shells, brass items, wooden carvings, wall hangings of Elephant nettipattams like the ones that elephants wear during the festival, etc. are a great buy.
Besides, you can also check out their traditional food fair, as well as spices like cardamom, cloves, etc. and even tea and coffee. Kerala is also famous for banana chips, which is a must-have, and you may even take back some for family and friends. If you want to visit Kerala, next week happens to be the best time to do so.

A group of children from Bath Theatre School had the lucky opportunity to meet a professional performer last Saturday. Vinny Coyle, who is currently rehearsing for the UK tour of Hairspray, taught the children about vocal, dance and acting technique whilst also giving them an up to date taste of life as a professional performer. The children were put through their passes with 'You Can't Stop the Beat' from Hairspray and a dance routine from High School Musical which Vinny performed at Disneyland Paris. Children were also given the chance to ask questions about Hairspray and Vinny's experience of playing Bugsy Malone in the West End, winning the Rising Stars talent competition earlier this year and his involvement with National Youth Theatre. Bath Theatre School's principal, Tom Bright, added "we are thrilled that Vinny was able to share his experience and passion for performing with our students whom in a few years could be aspiring to follow in his footsteps. This is just part of our extensive syllabus which it intended to stretch and develop our students, whilst offering them fun and unique experiences which they will take with them forever."
Master classes are just one of the many opportunities available to all students at Bath Theatre School, which prides itself on offering the most comprehensive and unique Musical Theatre experience for children aged 7-16 in Bath and surrounding areas. Bath Theatre School also gives children the opportunity to take Trinity examinations in Musical Theatre as part of their standard teaching. These nationally recognised qualifications not only build a foundation for a career in the performing, but the syllabus is purposely designed to build key life skills which are relevant to all children, in areas such as team work, communication, public speaking and co-ordination. Lessons are equally distributed between dancing, singing and acting so that children can learn all aspects of musical theatre to ensure they become all round performers.
Next year Bath Theatre School will be performing 'Honk!' the musical which is a unique and lively twist on the Ugly Duckling story, suitable for adults and children alike. The production will give students the chance to wear costumes, use makeup and perform in a professionally staged production for family and friends to see.
In addition, the School runs a Theatre Club for children to see firsthand what performing in a large-scale professional theatre is like. But most importantly Bath Theatre School provides a fun, friendly and safe CRB checked learning environment in which children can socialise, build confidence and make friends.
The School runs on Saturday mornings from 9.30 until 12.30 at Beechen Cliff School in Bath. Any children that interested in joining can enjoy a FREE 3 hour taster session to try it for themselves and meet the friendly staff. Further information can be obtained via their website www.baththeatreschool.com or by contacting them via or on 01225 640046.

Given the current trend of urban densification it is important to understand the effects this will have on the urban climate and pedestrian comfort, especially considering a future possible rise in temperature and extreme weather conditions. Environmental parameters in the city, such as air pollutants, solar radiation, wind and other types of comfort data, while important for our experience of the city, are still difficult to present in a comprehensible manner. The accessibility to data connected to these parameters is low. As a result, these factors often get a low priority in urban planning processes.
By visualizing abstract environmental data in spatial 3D planning models, a better understanding for various environmental aspects can be reached which consequently have an impact on the planning of new areas and buildings. Such models already exist today – in most cases presented in a planar view. However, street level perspective is important for evaluating e.g. densification projects. Misinterpretation of data may be a problem, and various trends for visualization and ways of analysis is another challenging factor. In order to facilitate the communication to end users, the data must be presented in an engaging and easily comprehensible form.
The objective of this project is to develop a dialogue toolkit for visualizing environmental data in urban 3D models. The aim is to provide better understanding of how wind, solar radiation, air pollution and noise affect how the existing city is experienced, and how urban transformations affect these values. In the project different design concepts for visualization of various types of invisible environmental factors are developed and evaluated, displayed in an interactive 3D city model, primarily from a street view perspective. Particular challenges concern how to display multiple types of parameters simultaneously, and how to visually use symbolism and photorealism in the same model. We present a user-centered design approach in the development of the methodology for representations, by utilizing an iterative, user-informed process throughout the entire design and development cycle. The research, still a work in progress, joins competences from academic research groups at Chalmers University of Technology (Dept. of Applied IT, and Dept. of Architecture), together with an environmental officer and a GIS strategist at the City of Gothenburg, consultants from the community development company Tyréns and representatives from Johanneberg Science Park.
The results from the project will contribute to that the development of digital dialogue tools better can support dialogue between stakeholders in the planning processes. The knowledge gained can also be applied to other areas dealing with invisible values such as health, social equality, justice, safety and architectonic and urban spatial qualities. A visual planning tool of this kind can further be used for local climate work, for example to predict different scenarios linked to climatic factors. Thus it can enhance interaction between research and design practice. Such cooperation can provide the tools for identification and solution of problems, which are clearly noticed by users of 3D-modelling but so far not consistently scientifically addressed.

One of the key factors in a successful workout is getting the training day rotations right. One of the best ways to ensure that is with a push/pull rotation.
Push Session
A push routine is just that — a routine that focuses on using exercises that force the body to push. Some key exercises in a push session include bench press, standing press, triceps rope press down and dips.
Complete three sets of the first three exercises with 10 repetitions and then max out with the triceps dips.
You can also include a few key lower body movements into this routine such as squats and standing or seated calf raises with higher reps and two to three sets.
Pull Session
Your next rotation of workouts will revolve around the pulling exercises. Implement a bent-over row, wide-grip pulldown and a reverse-grip pulldown.
Utilize the same repetitions and set scheme as the push routine, and include lower body movements such as the stiff legged deadlift and reverse hyperextensions.
This is a very simple routine, but it works well because it allows maximum rest for the muscles and does not overload the synergistic assister groups in each exercise.
Tearing Down to Build Back Up
After a hardcore workout, the muscles need time for two key factors to occur.
The first factor is adequate recovery. The process of working out tears the muscle fibers down, requiring adequate time to rebuild larger and stronger.
Muscles also need additional time to grow. An important concept to remember is that we tear down muscles while working and we experience true growth during those rest periods.

A Conversation with Dr Kathleen Thompson
by Molah Media
Kathleen Thompson worked for many years as a paediatrician before moving into pharmaceutical medicine. In 2011, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and in 2015, wrote a book to use her story to inspire and educate others with breast cancer. She writes regularly for The Huffington Post and for Frost e-magazine.
You were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. What was your life like at that time?
When the diagnosis came, things were really going well in my life. I'd cut down on the number of hours I was working. I was getting fit – you know, I was really getting my life sorted. The kids were grown up and I was really enjoying my 'me' time. So the diagnosis was a bolt out of the blue to be honest.
What symptoms did you have?
Well this is the strange thing because I didn't actually feel a lump. One day as I got out of the shower I noticed a funny red mark on my breast. A couple of days later it was still there and the doctor in me knew it looked odd. I rationalised it left, right and centre, telling myself it was just the hot water on my skin. On top of that, I had already felt my breast and there were no lumps.
But a couple of weeks later, I decided to have a bra-fitting. I had never done this, but it was in keeping with the 'new me' that I was discovering at the time. I went into London for this and the fitter said quite vaguely that she was really struggling with my right breast. She couldn't get the breast to 'sit' properly. However, that vague comment with the red mark made me realise that I just had to get to the GP.
At my appointment, my GP couldn't feel a lump either. He did say though that as per standard practice, when someone comes in with a breast problem, I had to be referred urgently to the breast clinic. He wasn't concerned in any way.
What was the interval between you finding that red mark on your breast and going to your GP?
It was probably 3 weeks. It's not what I would advise my patients to do but I was just getting my head round that fact that this was something I had to get checked out.
As a doctor did you find that you were trying to find other reasons to explain the change?
Yes there were 2 people in my head – the woman and the doctor. I would switch from a rational, straightforward process of thinking to being very panicky and convinced that it was serious, and back again to telling myself nothing was wrong. It was as if I had a split personality.
Can you talk through what happened from the time you saw your GP to getting the diagnosis of cancer?
I got my appointment within 2 weeks. As I was parking my car, I was talking the whole situation down telling myself that at least as a doctor I will know what's going on. I also thought that the clinic staff would get annoyed with me for wasting their time as nothing was wrong with me at all. I was really in denial.
I went in and the receptionist told me to go straight for a mammogram. That threw me as I thought that I would see the consultant first; in my day that's what would happen – you'd see the doctor first then have tests. As I was waiting to see the doctor after the mammogram, I overheard a lady next to me being told that if anything was abnormal on a mammogram, an ultrasound would be done. That was ringing in my ear when my name was called out and I was taken into a little room and the first thing I saw was…an ultrasound machine.
The doctor's voice in my head said, 'oh that's an ultrasound machine, so they must have found something.' But the woman's voice was saying, 'no there can't be anything wrong because I only came for a check-up!'
Were you told the results of those tests on the day?
Well before the radiologist – a really lovely man – did the ultrasound, he explained that I was having it because there was an abnormality on the mammogram. He then did the ultrasound and explained what he could see and from the way he spoke I knew that I had cancer. He was very clever because he didn't directly say it was, but he was gently preparing me for what was to come. Then he did a biopsy.
So within half an hour of being at the hospital, I had had all these tests and in my mind I had moved from being a normal patient to a cancer patient.
When did you get the results of the biopsy?
The thing was that as this was around Easter time, every other week was a bank holiday, so I couldn't get into a Monday clinic appointment. In the end that 2nd appointment for results was 2 weeks after the 1st.
However, nothing was straightforward. At that 2nd appointment, my consultant was away and the doctor in his place wasn't experienced so couldn't tell me anything. Then at the 3rd appointment when I was actually told it was a cancer, the consultant there examined me. She felt that there was a bigger lump than on the ultrasound and another in the left breast. So I needed an MRI scan.
The MRI suggested that I had pre-cancerous changes called DCIS. Then the consultant wanted to know how much of the area was DCIS and how much was cancer. To get that information, a serial biopsy was needed; this meant that with x-ray guidance, I had to have several biopsies taken over different parts of the cancer. When I came back for those results I was told that a lot of the area was actually DCIS though there was still a cancer. In the end it was 5 weeks since my first hospital appointment that the consultant then confirmed that I needed surgery.
I was given a date for surgery that was 2 months away and I was devastated. Even though I knew that there wouldn't be much growth in that time, knowing that I had this cancer meant I just wanted it out. The thought of waiting 2 months was really frightening.
What was going through your mind in those 5 weeks?
I immediately assumed I was going to die. That was despite me knowing that there are very good and effective treatments for breast cancer. I also went through the bereavement process. I got angry at little old ladies asking why they got to live so long and I didn't. I got angry with people's responses. I was horrified that I would be leaving my kids.
There was also this odd effect. I was very aware of colours and scents and sights. I was acutely aware of nature and little details. It was if I was taking more notice of the world because I would not be around to see it all.
Did you have any other treatment after surgery?
After surgery, I had radiotherapy then tamoxifen and letrozole which are hormone treatments.
There a range of treatment combinations for breast cancer. Why did you have that combination of treatment?
I don't think I was given an explanation as I remember the first surgeon wasn't really a good communicator. But perhaps I may have forgotten. I do remember being told that the cancer was not very big. Most was DCIS and the lymph (glands) nodes were not affected. The best treatment was to remove the lump and because the lymph glands were clear, chemotherapy wasn't needed. The radiotherapy would reduce the chances of it coming back in the breast and as the cancer was hormone sensitive, the anti-hormone treatment was needed, again to reduce the chances of a recurrence.
Did you have your treatment on the NHS or privately?
I had it on the NHS and I think that cancer care through the NHS, on the whole, is of a very high quality.
How are you now?
Good. Touch wood everything is fine. I am past the 5 years of follow-up now so I don't have any more set appointments now.
Did being a doctor help or hinder you as a patient?
Overall it definitely helped. From the beginning, I understood how hospitals worked and knew the jobs of the different people that looked after me. Knowing how to communicate, the right words to use, how things worked, what I needed to do to make things easier – all that removed the extra layer of complexity and fear.
Any advice for someone who has had little exposure to the hospital system?
Always try and take someone with you. I had a friend who came with me and made notes of what was being said at my appointments. When we walked out and I looked at the notes I was surprised at how much I had missed. So that 2nd person is a real advantage to have.
In addition, ask all questions – no question is too silly.
Were you treated differently as a doctor?
I didn't get preferential treatment. I didn't go out of my way to tell anyone that I was a doctor, though some continued to address me as 'Dr.' I think cancer is so serious that everyone is treated equally and with close care.
Who were your biggest sources of support?
I had a really good friend and my family to provide that. There were also some great sources of help at the hospital. My first breast cancer nurse was remarkable. She treated every patient as if they were the only patient, making us all feel very special.
What 3 things did you learn about the NHS that you didn't know already?
I didn't realise that if your GP was suspicious of a cancer diagnosis, you had to get an appointment with the specialist within 2 weeks and I was impressed with that.
I also was impressed with just how amazing and committed NHS staff can be.
Generally cancer care is excellent and of a high standard. However, when I changed hospitals part way through my treatment, I realised that some specialist treatments are only available in the bigger hospitals. However, although we don't get access to every new drug like people do in the US, at least unlike the US, we all get access to treatment.
You have written a book about your experience with cancer, 'From Both Ends of the Stethoscope.' When did you decide to do this?
The realisation came quite early on, even at that first appointment. I got a strong feeling that I had been given this cancer for a reason and my experience just seemed to be calling for a book.
Your book is as well an account of your experience as it is educational. Was that intentional?
My main drive was to guide other people going through breast cancer; at times I struggled as a doctor and so I wanted to help those without a medical background. Whilst I could have just written about myself, I didn't think that's interesting unless you are famous and everyone knows you.
What I did was to use bits of my story as a teaching experience. I thought that would get information to the reader in a digestible way. Each chapter combines bits of my story with factual sections and that means you can read each chapter individually. Often, especially in the early days after a diagnosis of cancer, it is difficult to take in a lot of information, so breaking it up in chunks helps.
How is the book doing?
Since it was published in 2015, the book has won 2 awards. In April 2016, it was the winner of the Words for the Wounded Book Award. Words for the Wounded is a charity of authors who raise funds for ex-soldiers wounded in wars. The book is also a 2017 Jayney Loves Platinum Award winner; these awards recognise books and products that contribute to health and well-being.
What are you doing now?
Because of this book I work closely with events that raise awareness of breast cancer. I recently spoke about the subject at the Houses of Parliament. I also write for the Huffington Post and Frost e magazine.

In people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma
Proven to extend survival and maintain quality of life*
A large clinical study showed that adding Optune to chemotherapy† provided the greatest opportunity to live longer compared to chemotherapy alone at 5 years.
In a 5-year follow-up, people on Optune plus chemotherapy lived longer across all groups analyzed regardless of well-being, age, gender, and how much of the tumor was removed.
People in the study were also able to maintain their mental, emotional, and physical well-being longer than those on chemotherapy alone.*
People adding Optune to chemotherapy in the study were also able to maintain their quality of life (mental, emotional, and physical health)* longer than those on chemotherapy† alone.
Nearly half of people using Optune + chemotherapy† were alive at 2 years compared with 31% of people on chemotherapy alone.
In a large clinical study, people on Optune + chemotherapy lived longer than people on chemotherapy alone.
In the same study, Optune + chemotherapy delayed tumor growth longer than chemotherapy alone.

Code Geass R2 meets Chachamaru
I have watched ep. 05 and this semblance really struck my mind. Its Chachamaru! Look at those ear-pieces sticking out… C.C. picked a nice semblance that it appealed me that much because I read too much Negima… Looking at Lelouch, he must be pretty surprised to see the prototype of Knightmare frames 😆 . I don't know but I think C.C and Chachamaru share the same traits such as being loyal and subservient to their so-called "masters". Even though they feel that their "masters" are much important than theirselves, their "masters" as well treat them as someone worthy. Maybe Lelouch considers C.C. as some kind of a pawn sometimes, it is always part of his plan[Considering the fact that the plan is ofttimes 50:50 👿 ]. She's also treated as someone capable of things that even Kallen can't do[Such as being the bullet-proof vest for Lelouch]. Evangeline[Negima] doesn't restrict Chachamaru though since she is capable of employing laser eyes+rocket missiles.
Well too much for the Chachamaru thing, I just can't guest how Zero will handle his rebellion if its Nunnaly that would be the next governor.. I feel bad for Nunnaly I think she will also be drawn to the rebellion. She might also be considered as pawn by the Emperor just to lure Lelouch out. Can't imagine how Nunnaly would lead the defence force considering that she is blind XD.
I hate Suzaku! —Don't be so bothersome… You see, Rollo is enough for you 👿
So uhm, now Lelouch how will you answer that call? Pretend not to know Nunnaly? 🙄
I have read many comments about the episode and I agreed to what they have said about Nunnaly, why did she agreed to be the governor in the first place? -_- [baka~]

Informed by graveyard shifts as a paramedic, his fundamentalist Christian upbringing, and a slate of personal tragedies, Trust Ruins is the culmination of the debasement and primality that All Your Sisters virtuoso Jordan Morrison saw in his surroundings. Teetering between disgust and despair, the ten tracks that comprise the LP are the score to a series of de-indoctrinating sermons, armed with marching protest beats. The album's second single, "Self Medicating," premieres today alongside a new interview with the artist and perfectly showcases the brooding and bleak tone of Trust Ruins.
Tag: Industrial
Contemporary industrial act Alberich doesn't just have a distaste for convention—he's built a career from outright destroying musical norms. That commitment to outsider arts blazes mightily on the prolific producer's new single, "Unity House." This is the first single off Alberich's forthcoming noise-art LP Quantized Angel, which will be released via Hospital Productions on April 12.
Buried Language, the sophomore effort from Denver-based industrial duo Echo Beds (comprised of Keith Curts and Tom Nelsen), is an album indebted to the past. Inspired by a tumultuous end to 2016, in which the pair were locked out of their rehearsal space and their gear was held hostage by city officials, Buried Language is steeped in rage and embittered self-reliance. Listen to the album in its entirety via Brooklyn Vegan today.
Denver-based industrial duo Echo Beds began as a one-off live set played in a local warehouse in 2010. Sensing immediately that they'd only scratched the surface of their potential, the duo (comprised of Keith Curtis and Tom Nelsen) began experimenting with hand-built instruments and manufactured sounds—such as recordings of broken glass and a metal filing cabinet—in order to explore and interpret the sounds of industry as a sonic landscape.

I recently moved out of Wyncrest after spending over 2 years there. I can tell you that this place is great. The property manager Maria is excellent. She was very accommodating and quickly responds to requests. Also, the maintenance manager Dylan was very helpful during light fixtures and things that need replacing. I would strongly recommend Wyncrest to anyone looking for a place near the Princeton, NJ working area as the commute is so easy (15 minutes).
Very nice management, very nice complex overall. Have had some lingering and continuing refrigerator issues but that it all.
I wanted to get in but know afordable housing.
I heard about apartment guide that's why I choose you
Nice on the outside, but you can tell construction was done quick and poorly. Everything is up to date because this is a new development, however, there are countless horrible things. You can hear everything the upstairs neighbors are doing, from walking to flushing the toilet to opening and closing drawers. This is very disturbing. The air conditioner utility closet is right in the middle of the living room. Be prepared to have to turn the volume of your TV up and down constantly. Owner owns both complexes yet Wyncrest tenants have to pay to use the pool on top of the $2000 in rent. The playground is extremely old. No parents should let their children play on it. Parking is terrible. If you don't get home by 5pm, be prepared to park at another building. No amenities at all. Definitely do not get what you pay for!
Wyncrest At East Windsor is a luxurious newly-constructed rental community, offering some of the most beautiful apartments in the area, all set within lush wooded surroundings. Wyncrest At East Windsor offers our renters a choice of spacious one, two and three bedroom apartments boasting upscale appointments including granite countertops, GE Stainless Steel Appliances, along with state-of-the art enhancements such as keyless secure entries with audio/video intercoms.

Gibbous ♒ Aquarius
Moon phase on 20 August 2021 Friday is Waxing Gibbous, 12 days young Moon is in Aquarius.Share this page: twitter facebook linkedin
Waxing Gibbous is the lunar phase on . Seen from Earth, illuminated fraction of the Moon surface is 95% and growing larger. The 12 days young Moon is in ♒ Aquarius.
Saturday Sat
Sunday Sun
Monday Mon
Tuesday Tue
Wednesday Wed
Thursday Thu
Friday Fri
Previous main lunar phase is the First Quarter before 4 days on 15 August 2021 at 15:20.
Moon rises in the afternoon and sets after midnight to early morning. It is visible to the southeast in early evening and it is up for most of the night.
Moon is passing first ∠2° of ♒ Aquarius tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 1.4% wider than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1923" and ∠1897".
Next Full Moon is the Sturgeon Moon of August 2021 after 2 days on 22 August 2021 at 12:02.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 12 days young. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the first to the middle part of current synodic month. This is lunation 267 of Meeus index or 1220 from Brown series.
Length of current 267 lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 2 minutes. It is 48 minutes longer than next lunation 268 length.
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 42 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 27 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠264.3°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠297.8°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
3 days after point of perigee on 17 August 2021 at 09:23 in ♐ Sagittarius. The lunar orbit is getting wider, while the Moon is moving outward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 9 days, until it get to the point of next apogee on 30 August 2021 at 02:22 in ♊ Gemini.
Moon is 372 656 km (231 558 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves farther next 9 days until apogee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 404 100 km (251 096 mi).
3 days after its descending node on 16 August 2021 at 16:04 in ♐ Sagittarius, the Moon is following the southern part of its orbit for the next 9 days, until it will cross the ecliptic from South to North in ascending node on 30 August 2021 at 05:13 in ♊ Gemini.
17 days after beginning of current draconic month in ♊ Gemini, the Moon is moving from the second to the final part of it.
1 day after previous South standstill on 18 August 2021 at 22:24 in ♑ Capricorn, when Moon has reached southern declination of ∠-25.761°. Next 12 days the lunar orbit moves northward to face North declination of ∠25.868° in the next northern standstill on 2 September 2021 at 00:23 in ♋ Cancer.
After 2 days on 22 August 2021 at 12:02 in ♒ Aquarius, the Moon will be in Full Moon geocentric opposition with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Earth-Moon syzygy.

Wake Up! How to Become a Morning Person
The early bird catches the worm — and some important health benefits. Here's how to reset your clock
Who doesn't know an early bird who finds time to hit the gym, read the newspaper and answer email, all before going to work? If you find the mere thought of that exhausting, you're not alone.
It's OK to not be a morning person: Only about one in 10 people is. (At the same time, just two in 10 people are true night owls.) However, research suggests early risers may have some advantages over folks who roll out of bed later.
For instance, they appear to adapt to life's demands more easily. They also report being healthier and feeling happier. College students who get up early have GPAs that are a point higher than their late-rising peers (perhaps because they're more likely to be on time for class).
Related: Applying to College? Clean Up Your Social Media Act
If you aren't a morning person but you'd like to enjoy some of the benefits, these tips are for you.
1. Get better Zzzzzs. You won't be able to wake up earlier if you don't get a full night's sleep — at least seven to eight hours. It needs to be a restful sleep as well, so start preparing two or three hours before bedtime. Don't eat a big meal during that time and steer clear of caffeine and alcohol. Unplug from your smartphone, tablet and laptop an hour or so before bed. Studies show that the blue light from screens can interfere with sleep. Unwind by reading or meditating before you hit the hay instead.
Related: Do Midnight Snacks Pile on the Pounds?
2. Change your sleep routine — but take it slow. Your body clock may rebel if you try to make a drastic change, so do it gradually. Start by going to bed just 15 minutes earlier and getting up 15 minutes earlier. When that's comfortable, move your bed- and wakeup times back another 15 minutes. Keep doing this until you're getting up earlier but still feeling rested. Sticking to the same sleep schedule on weekends will help regulate your body clock. Researchers found that proactive people aren't just early risers during the week: They get up around the same time on the weekends.
3. Find an alarm that fits your personality. If you use your smartphone to wake up, check out the wide variety of wake-up apps available. These range from coddling to sadistic. Gentle apps, for example, may wake you up to soothing sounds that slowly get louder over a 10-minute period. At the other end of the spectrum, there's an app that forces you to get up and walk around your house scanning items before the alarm will shut off.
If you prefer an alarm clock, no problem. Like phone apps, alarm clocks have features ranging from dual alarms, nature sounds, dawn simulators and aromatherapy. And if you enjoy waking up to favorite music, a clock radio with an MP3 player might be the ticket.
4. Wake up with a sleep monitor. Another way to wake better in the mornings is to use a sleep monitor (usually worn on the wrist) that's controlled with an app. Some sleep monitors use motion detectors to determine a person's sleep cycles, others track heart rate, skin temperature and perspiration. Most, but not all, have a wake-up function that vibrates to wake you during your lightest sleep phase — within 10 to 20 minutes of your set alarm time.
5. Lighten up. The Sleep Foundation recommends using bright lights to help manage the circadian rhythms that regulate sleep/wake cycles. These cycles are determined in part by exposure to light and darkness, along with other cues such as meals and exercise schedules. Dimming lights in the evening can help your body wind down for sleep. Exposure to bright light in the morning can help you wake up, so throw those curtains and let the sun shine in as soon as you get up.
6. Caffeinate if you must, but be sure to eat breakfast. A hot, steaming cup of java will definitely give your nervous system a boost, but don't rely on Joe alone to jumpstart your day. You'll need complex carbs, protein and a little bit of healthy fat to fuel you up for the start of the day and give your brain a boost. Think eggs and a little cheese rolled into a whole-wheat tortilla or yogurt topped with granola and fresh berries.
7. Move it. If you become able to wake up early enough, there are lots of good reasons to include exercise in your new morning routine. Being active early will help you focus and also increase your metabolism during the sedentary part of your day. It also will boost your mood, energy, concentration and fitness level, and help create deeper sleep cycles. Keep in mind that it doesn't have to be a full-out workout. A brisk walk around the block is enough.

The Nevada Supreme Court ruled Monday that the name of the physician picked to attend a state inmate's execution can remain secret, even from drug makers suing to ban use of their products in the twice-postponed lethal injection.
In a twist, three pharmaceutical companies that won the right to the name last week and had promised to sue the doctor once they got it said they welcomed Monday's high court order.
Attorney Todd Bice, representing drug firm Alvogen, told a state court judge the high court decision supports companies' arguments that corporate reputations would be harmed if their drugs are used.
The judge in Las Vegas is due to begin hearing testimony Tuesday about how Nevada prison officials obtained drugs made by Alvogen, Hikma Pharmaceuticals USA and Sandoz Inc.
