Case study: Former teacher from Surrey has taken part in miscarriage prevention research
During her second pregnancy, Abi Maguire from Surrey took part in the PRISM trial at St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey.
Abi said: "At eight weeks pregnant I had some bleeding and went to the maternity outpatients at St Peter's Hospital. It was at this appointment I was offered the opportunity to take part in research."
The PRISM: Progesterone in spontaneous miscarriage trial looked at whether progesterone can prevent miscarriage in women with early pregnancy bleeding. The study was funded by the National Institute for Health Research Health Technology Assessment program.
The women who took part in the study were randomly assigned to receive vaginal suppositories containing either 400mg of progesterone or a matching placebo twice daily, from the time at which they went to see a doctor when experiencing bleeding through to 16 weeks of pregnancy. The women in the study weren't told whether they were taking the active medicine or the placebo – and neither were their doctors.
Abi continues: "I had a positive experience of research, the research nurse took time to explain the study to me, what was involved,the possible risks and gave me time to talk to my family. She listened to my questions during a worrying time for me. I appreciated her passion for the reasons behind the research and this helped me decide to take part.
"I had access to the trial drug on the day I signed up to take part. The research nurse walked with me to and from the pharmacy to collect the trial drug so I was not alone as the walk from maternity outpatients to the pharmacy was quite a distance. I took the drug for eight weeks until I was 16 weeks pregnant. I do not know which arm of the study I was on. I now have a healthy and lively two-year-old who would not be here without the care I received at the hospital.
"Before I took part in this trial I had no idea about health research, what it involved or the benefits of taking part. It is important that patients take part in research as they are the ones to receive the treatment and are the ones to benefit. To not have the patient voice in research seems bizarre."
Abi has recently been appointed a Lay Representative to the National Instiute for Health Research (NIHR) Clinical Research Network (CRN) Kent, Surrey and Sussex Partnership Board.
Abi says: "I took part in research to help other people and I am continuing this through being a Lay Representative for CRN Kent, Surrey and Sussex. Having been a research participant with a professional interest in research I am looking forward to being a part of the Partnership Board, ensuring the patient voice is included and heard."
The results of the PRISM trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in May 2019 and showed that overall, among women with bleeding in early pregnancy, treatment with progesterone during the first trimester did not result in a significantly higher incidence of live births than amongst those who had a placebo.

Astronomers have their own version of the single person's dilemma: Do you wait by the phone for a call from that certain someone? Or do you make the call yourself and risk getting shot down? Instead of love, of course, astronomers are looking for alien life, and for decades, they have sat by their telescopes, waiting to hear from E.T. It didn't happen, and so now some of them want to beam messages out into the void and invite the closest few thousand worlds to chat or even visit. Others scientists, including Stephen Hawking, think that's crazy, warning that instead of sweet and gentle E.T., we may get something like the planet-conquering aliens from "Independence Day." The consequences, they say, could be catastrophic. Read Full Article

ZAMBOANGA CITY, Philippines – Scout rangers from Marawi City were awarded Gold Cross Medals during a send-off on Monday, February 5, held at Western Mindanao Command headquarters in Camp Navarro, Calarian during the morning flag-raising ceremony.
Gold Cross Medals were awarded to 1st Lieutenant Jay-Arr Quiapo, Sergeant Gerry Gaspar Padayogdog, Sergeant Antonino Basa, Corporal Lisan Aspacio, and Corporal Rodrigo Novilla of the 5th Scout Ranger Battalion (5SRBn) for their gallantry during the series of armed engagements with Maute fighters in Marawi City.
The 5SRBn troops will be deployed to the province of Sulu to defeat members of the Abu Sayyaf Group in the province.
The unit was just recently activated and was first deployed in Marawi City during the height of the battle. Its battalion commander, Lieutenant Colonel Marlo Jomalesa, led the unit during series of unit trainings at Camp Malagutay, Zamboanga while awaiting its deployment.
Addressing the rangers, Lieutenant General Carlito Galvez Jr said, "I am sure that you will do well in defeating the threats in Sulu as you did a great job in leading the fight to liberate Marawi City from the claws of the terrorists."
"I am confident that you will be able to deliver the soonest," Galvez added. – Rappler.com

Deep in Texas hill country is a slice of the African plains, where a rancher is raising a rare breed of antelope alongside his cattle.
"This species would have probably faded from view in another 20 years," says J. David Bamberger.
But Bamberger is a rare breed himself. A corporate multimillionaire with a single purpose, Bamberger has dedicated his fortune to saving the earth and has turned his private preserve into a vast public classroom, reports CBS News Correspondent Jim Axelrod.
All summer long trams full of teachers traverse his 5,500 acres.
"We have a duty to pass on to the next generation a planet, a country, a state, a city in better condition actually than we found it," Bamberger says.
Bamberger came to Texas with a 12-month-old in his arms, $124 in his pocket and a 30-year plan in his mind. His family grew. Bamberger made millions.
His ranch had the reputation for being the worst ranch in Blanco County. But now, once arid land is lush. Deer that were starving are now twice as big. Cows graze in pastures that used to support nothing but rocks.
"Restore it and they will come," is Bamberger's motto. His pitch - that tourists make a nice cash crop, too - is an incentive for ranchers to follow his lead and keep up their land.
Open your front gate and let people come in and see how you live. Let them come in to camp, to hike, to fish.
Bamberger's second dream is funded by his first, which was running a Fortune 500 fast-food chain.
His latest project is building the world's largest manmade bat cave. His wallet keeps him from sweating the fact that his $170,000 project is a batless bust.
Bamberger sums it up this way: "Let me tell you something. What good is it? You can't take it with you. You think they're going to shovel this ranch up and put it in my casket and I'm going to take it all with me?"
Bamberger calls his place "Selah" - a biblical command to pause and reflect. A long time ago he took that advice and since then, it seems he's been too busy giving back to catch his breath.

Stucco Repair and Venetian Plaster Contractor Services
A home can be a great way to showcase your love for style and aesthetics. While you can decorate your interiors with beautiful paintings and elegant woodwork, you can also spruce up the exterior walls in many innovative ways. One such way which is fast becoming a trend is the use of stucco for the sidings of the walls. These are not only impressive to look at but are very durable and cheap in comparison to stone and brick sidings. But caution needs to be applied to guard it against damages by natural forces. Let's find out when we need to take action to prevent further damages.
Impact of Water -
Wall sidings made of stucco are generally prone to damages by water because stucco is ultimately a porous material. If water seeps in through the surface then it becomes difficult to contain it. Therefore, once you notice any stain or mold beneath your window or dampness on your floor, don't hesitate to seek professional help for
stucco repair in San Jose
to address the problem. Some other signs of damage from water could be discoloration of walls or leaks in the doors and windows. Repair workers have the expertise to remove the affected area and fix the problem.
Damage by nature -
Apart from water, damages to your walls can also be caused by other factors like heat, strong winds, hail, small birds, and animals. These can result in cracks developing in the corners, fading or chippings on the sidings. Again, the workers of
stucco repair in San Jose
can remove the damaged part and redo the whole area by applying joint compound to make it look new as before.
Improper installation -
While natural forces are majorly responsible for damages to your wall, in some cases it is found that shoddy work during the installation process is the real cause of worry. Such instances could be the incorrect fixing of the joints, inadequate curing of the base coat or faulty securing of the laths. All these could result in cracks in the form of spider-web, vertical lines or horizontal lines which cannot be fixed with small patchworks. These issues can be fixed by professionals of
stucco repair in San Jose
by removing the structure, securing the lath and reapplying a new layer of stucco.
To sum up, while stucco walls are a great way to up the style quotient of your house, your care and professional help can go a long way to keep that level always at the top. Seek assistance from C and C Plastering, San Jose, CA for
stucco repair

Raise the style quotient of your house with stucco wall sidings

What do Janis Joplin, Larry McMurtry, Ken Kesey and LBJ have in common?
This week it's their appearance in a new biography about Billy Lee Brammer, the Sunset High School graduate who put Texas on the literary map.
Brammer was a journalist who served as a press secretary for U.S. Sen. Lyndon Baines Johnson in the 1950s. In 1959, he published "The Gay Place," a novel based on the real-life shenanigans of Texas politicians, including Johnson.
"The Gay Place" was a sensation in the realms of politics and literature, but it was a one-hit wonder. Brammer continued his journalism career and became "a fixture, and eventual glass-eyed patron saint, of Austin's counterculture," writes the Texas Observer.
For his part, Brammer is also a mirror for the nation, a personification that is as central to telling his story as it is to 'the Brammer Myth': the whispers that Brammer and friends helped nurture the San Francisco hippie scene, that Brammer shared a mistress with JFK, that he introduced Austin to LSD and that he saw the Kennedy assassination up close (all, in [author Tracy] Daugherty's estimation, possibly true).
Brammer died of a drug overdose in 1978, but "The Gay Place" lives on. I can't wait to get my hands on this biography, which comes out Oct. 17.

Health minister Greg Hunt has announced government has granted the first licence for an Australian company to grow and harvest medicinal cannabis.
The Department of Health's Office of Drug Control has issued the licence under the medicinal cannabis provisions of the Narcotic Drugs Act 1967 to Cannoperations Pty Ltd – a wholly owned subsidiary of the Australian company Cann Group Limited.
According to the minister, the announcement heralds the beginning of Australian domestic supply of medicinal cannabis products.
Supply from the licence will initially be for the Victorian market. But other licences for other Australian jurisdictions are expected to be issued shortly.
While the Australian supply of medicinal cannabis continues to develop, the government has authorised the importation and storage of the product from international sources for interim supply.
Cannoperations was subject to the necessary fit and proper person and security tests associated with processing licence applications, resulting in the Office of Drug Control granting a research licence on February 17 and the commercial licence on March 8.
Cannoperations now hold licences for both research and domestic patient supply purposes.

I'm with Daryl and we're playing cricket near my primary schools crossing is. I hit the ball which rolls down the road. Daryl chases the ball but the ball is too quick. I tell him not to worry about it and that I would chase it. He stops midway to allow me to fetch the ball. I run after the ball.
Auntie Riter is now with us at the crossing. Auntie and I leave and walk over to the doctors which is 10-15 metres away. I sit down in one room and Auntie in the other. There's around 10 people waiting to be seen. I see that the TV is turned on and has something interesting on while people wait. The chairs are really comfortable (most aren't where I live). Even the lady behind me is talking about them being comfortable. The lady starts rocking back and forth, making my chair do the same thing. I find it a pleasant feeling and think about pretending to put a coin in the side of my chair as a joke to keep going if she stopped. I see some darker skinned people around me and we're all being extremely friendly to one another. There's an announcement in the doctors saying that if you don't have anything overly serious that you won't be seen today [i think it was getting late and closing soon]. It now feels like I've been sitting down for a few mins since the announcement but I lost track of time, it's as if I was day dreaming for that period. As i come to, I see there's some nurses that have come out to ask what's wrong with the remaining people sitting. The nurses seem really friendly and they're saying bye to some people. One of the nurses says bye. We both kiss one another on the cheek.
Auntie and I leave the doctors. She doesn't seem too happy about how they treated the not as sick people, by sending them home. I see that Daryl is sitting on the grass near the crossing. He's looking miserable and bored.
Im now walking through a town then into a shopping complex. I walk passed a shopping centre which has TV's that people can watch at the entry. Myself and some other people walking passed get drawn into watching the singer that's on the TV.
I walk into a store and look around. I realise I have something in my hand and think it may be best if I ask for one of their store bags so they don't have to check my items as I leave. I line up and asks for a bag. The checkout lady jokingly says no you can't have a bag. I joke back and pretend to be upset that I can't have a bag. I help myself to a bag. The darker skinned people from earlier are behind me and I smile and act friendly towards one another. They're quite full on in their personalities. Even know I was comfortable and friendly towards the people, I still felt a little uneasy about them.
As I leave the shop I see my Uncle Bryce. He asks me a question about where a store is. I point him in the direction of where I just came from, which was 10 metres from where I am sitting. He is kinda confused while looking in the direction which I gave him. He repeats again where he's wanting to go which is Aldi. I get up and open a door which is near us and point into the distance at the Aldi store, which is 1 or so km's away.
I can now see the deploy screen of a game I play regularly (battlefield 4) which has commentary of someone explaining how to know if you're dreaming while playing the game. I'm quite intrigued by what he's about to say as I tend to have a few dreams about this video game. It starts to feel as if I've been engulfed inside the game and inside a helicopter which is not under my control, but that of the man commenting. It's now in 3rd person and I see the helicopter shooting down attack boats. I can even see the crosshairs on the screen also. We seem to be getting chased by enemy's. The air crafts don't look normal and have a kind of a stealth bomber look to them. Our helicopter drops bombs that can kill pursuing enemies in their paths. The first attempt fails, so we speed up and try again in case we were too close the previous time. We fly into what looks like a underground car park and can see one of those stealth bombers parked up. It looks a strange colour as we approach it. We either fly or roll over it as we pass.
Side Notes:
Training myself to stay still and remember my dreams as my alarm goes off. Had trouble first few nights as the alarm needed to be closer to me. I put it on my opposite pillow and if worked a charm. I was awakening without moving a muscle and thinking about my dreams. Too bad a fell asleep a lot during the process, need to be a bit more aware. May need to tweak alarm volume to find that perfect volume to not wake me up too much or too little.

We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'Affordable Care Act'. If you still can't find what you are looking for, try using the search box.
On Nov. 20, HHS published proposed rules on essential health benefits and determining actuarial value, and on health insurance market reforms. In addition, the IRS, Employee Benefits Security Administration and HHS' Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued a notice of proposed rulemaking on wellness programs in group health plans.
For plan years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2013, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act imposes a $2,500 limit on annual salary reduction contributions to health Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) offered under cafeteria plans. This is a reduction from the current limit of $5,000.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires employers that issue more than 250 W-2 forms to report the cost of health care coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan on each employee's 2012 W-2 form, which generally are required to be provided to employees in January 2013.
As part of the Employers for Flexibility in Health Care (EFHC) coalition, ABC Sept. 27 submitted comments regarding implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) – specifically, on determining full-time employee status and the application of the 90-day waiting period limitation. The comment letter was submitted in response to notices issued by the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, states will be required to operate health insurance exchanges – marketplaces where individuals and small businesses can purchase private health insurance – beginning in 2014. Over the last several months, ABC has provided suggestions on how the exchanges can best be implemented.
The Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS) and Treasury on Aug. 31 issued temporary guidance that addresses the 90-day waiting period limitation contained in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
After the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Repeal of Obamacare Act (H.R. 6079) on July 11, ABC offered practical, common-sense health care solutions and continued to advocate for full repeal of the health care law.
The Department of Health and Human Services on May 16 issued new guidance for states on health insurance exchanges. In addition, HHS in conjunction with the Departments of Labor and Treasury, released an additional set of frequently asked questions regarding implementation of the summary of benefits and coverage provisions included in the health care law.
The Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently issued three notices related to the health care law that address minimum value and information reporting on health insurance coverage. In addition, the Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and the Treasury issued a separate bulletin regarding verification of access to employer-sponsored coverage.
As part of the Employers for Flexibility in Health Care (EFHC) coalition, ABC submitted comments April 5 to the U.S. Department of Labor on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to offer its suggestions on ensuring employer-sponsored coverage remains a competitive option for all employees, whether full time, part time, temporary or seasonal.
ABC is here to help and provide support in any way as we navigate this crisis together. Please find ABC coronavirus resources for members as well as chapters operations:

UPDATED: Tomorrow, First Delivery Of Airbus A220 Made In USA
The first delivery of an Airbus A220 aircraft made in the USA will be happening tomorrow, October 22.

October 21, 2020 - by Sylvain Faust for www.fliegerfaust.com
Updated October 22, 2020 - 11:00am (15:00 UTC) - see end of article of updated aircraft delivery details
The first delivery of an Airbus A220 aircraft made in the USA will be happening tomorrow, October 22.
This A220-300 (CSeries CS300) made at the latest A220 factory located in the United States of America has been built and tested and accepted for delivery by Delta Air Lines.
All previous A220 aircraft (and Bombardier CSeries) aircraft have so far been made and delivered from the original CSeries factory located in Mirabel, Quebec, Canada. This A220, manufacturer serial number (MSN) 55070 (the 70th A220-300 produced) is the first A220 made and delivered from another factory.
Read also "Video: AIRBUS 1st A220/CSeries Assembled In Mobile, Alabama - But..."
Contrary to what we read about Delta Air Lines not taking any more deliveries of new aircraft until 2022, Delta is to take delivery of this aircraft from Mobile, Alabama tomorrow around 15h00 (3pm) local time, or 20h00 UTC.
Another A220-300 was supposed to be the first (MSN 55069) but technical problems during its assembly made Airbus decide to put it aside for full inspection.
As I wrote a year ago on September 23 on Fliegerfaust.com (read here), a false fire alarm caused this aircraft to be foamed. The foam being a very corrosive product did create a layer of oxidation on the A220 fuselage left without the protection since not yet painted.
Airbus came to the conclusion that the whole fuselage/wiring/etc. of this A220 aircraft had to be totally analyzed/reworked making the next aircraft in line the "the first" aircraft to be delivered. MSN 55070 it was. Read more about this here
With over 70 A220 aircraft already planned to be made in Mobile Alabama simply with the orders from airlines such as Delta (excluding the ones already delivered from Mirabel, Quebec) and Jet Blue.
Those aircraft would normally have been built in Quebec if Airbus had not decided to build another factoryof A220 in the US. This certainly helped the company diplomatic relations with Washington, DC. Funny part is that Bombardier of Montreal, Quebec and the Quebec Government helped to have this factory built outside Canada, one with cash and the other by diluting the value of its ownership in Airbus Canada, owner of the CSeries aircraft now renamed A220.
You will be able to follow its flight tomorrow live using apps such as FlightRadar24 or its website by looking this new Delta Airlines A220-300 under its FAA registration N302DU. As a side note, the first Jet Blue airline aircraft to be delivered is MSN 55099.
Funny thing… here is what Google.com says when ask about where the A220 (CSeries) aircraft is built:

Spain is the latest European country to move to buy more Eurofighter Typhoon multirole fighter jets to bolster its air force. The manufacturer announced today that it is now in negotiations with the Spanish government for the replacement of 20 Spanish Air Force EF-18 Hornets under what is called Project Halcón, or Project Hawk.
The company says it has submitted its offer to the Spanish government and is now in talks "to mature the proposal." It expects to sign a contract for the 20 new Typhoons in 2021.

The EA-18G Growler Has Its Own Topgun School For Electronic Attack Instead Of Dogfighting
Click Like to Follow Fliegerfaust Facebook page to get the News ASAP / Share to share this post now.
October 16, 2020 - by Jamie Hunter for www.thedrive.com
While the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School, better known as Topgun, is world-famous for its work in teaching high-end air-to-air combat skills, its fellow Airborne Electronic Attack Weapons School, known as Havoc, tends to sit in the shadows.
This elite school prepares EA-18G Growler aircrews for the rigors of modern-day air combat, following much the same mantra as Topgun.
While the traditional techniques of air-to-air and air-to-ground employment of fighter aircraft are well documented, the EA-18G's electronic attack mission remains something of a dark art.
Like Topgun, the Growler equivalent...

October 15, 2020 - by Tim Hepher, Andrea Shalal and Philip Blenkinsop Reuters for www.yahoo.com
PARIS/WASHINGTON/BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The United States has offered to settle a long-running aircraft subsidy dispute with the European Union and remove tariffs on wine, whisky and other products if Airbus repays billions of dollars in aid to European governments, several sources close to the matter told Reuters
The offer was made by U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer days before the World Trade Organization's (WTO) release on Tuesday of a report authorising Brussels to slap counter-tariffs on U.S goods over subsidies to planemaker Boeing, the sources said.
Lighthizer's proposal, however, is unlikely to win support from the EU, which appears set to ask the WTO at an Oct. 26 meeting to endorse $4 billion in EU tariffs on U.S. goods. The imposition of $7.5 billion of U.S. tariffs over Airbus subsidies has already started to hit European goods.
The USTR's office and the European Commission, the EU executive, did...

U.S. airlines have all found religion on customer refunds. United and JetBlue especially tried holding onto customer money when cancelling flights, but the Department of Transportation made clear that is a violation of U.S. law.
Customers up north in Canada have had a much tougher time. I've written about how Air Canada has been a flagrant violator of the basic principle that if a merchant doesn't provide the service they've been contracted for, they can't keep a customer's money.
Air Canada has been keeping customer money when cancelling flights, and even told the U.S. Department of Transportation to go pound sand over the issue (although a couple of readers have obtained refunds after filing DOT complaints).
The Canadian Transportation Agency said they...

A Guy In A Jetpack Was Spotted AGAIN By Airliners Descending Into LAX. We Have The Audio!!!

October 15, 2020 - by TYLER ROGOWAY AND JOSEPH TREVITHICK for www.thedrive.com
Around a month and a half ago, The War Zone reported on an unusual incident in the skies near Los Angeles International Airport, or LAX, in which the pilots of multiple airliners reported seeing "a guy in a jetpack" while on approach to land.
A few weeks ago, we followed up on that story and the ongoing investigation into those sightings, based on new information we had obtained from the FAA. Now, we have audio between pilots and air traffic controllers regarding an all-new sighting of what was at least loosely described as jetpack-wearing individual in the same general area.
The crew of China Airlines Flight 006, a Boeing 777 heading to LAX from Taipei, Taiwan, reported the encounter to air traffic controllers at around 1:45 PM local time today.
The FAA confirmed it
The War Zone has obtained audio of the actual exchanges between Flight 006 as well as other aircraft in the area, and the tower at LAX...

The Ax Falls Again At Pratt & Whitney - Cutting Another 250 Jobs In Quebec

October 14, 2020 - by JULIEN ARSENAULT Canadian Press for www.lapresse.ca
The chopper falls for the second time in a few months at the engine manufacturer Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC), which will eliminate approximately 250 jobs in its Quebec factories as the COVID-19 pandemic, which shakes the airline industry, continues to '' have repercussions on its order book.
In an email Wednesday, a spokesperson, Catherine Cunningham, said the company had "had to take new measures to promote the match between the workforce and current and future business demand."
In May, the company, which has some 2,400 unionized workers in the province and is very present in (the city of) Longueuil, in the southern (east) suburbs of Montreal, as well as in Mirabel, in the Laurentians, had cut 350 positions.
Layoffs had been avoided thanks to some 230 voluntary departures and early retirements.

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the U.S. government has been hiding key details about UFOs for years.
"Why the federal government all these years has covered up, put brake pads on everything, stopped it, I think it's very, very bad for our country," Reid said in the new documentary "The Phenomenon" from director James Fox.
"Are you saying that there's some evidence that still hasn't seen the light of day?" asked Fox.
"I'm saying most of it hasn't seen the light of day," Reid replied.

- The P200 is squarely in the review mirror.
- Spring break and Easter vacation are behind us.
- The cold weather has (mostly) subsided.
Any other excuses that YHC is missing. If there are, kick them to the curb and get back into the habit of an F3 morning. Wake up before most peoples day starts. Hang out with your brothers. Get the blood and mind flowing. Your not obliged to. It's not your job. But we all know that it's the best way to start the day. Shoot for a strong Spring and you'll notice the difference.
WOW: This weeks WOW comes from one of my favorite Q's, and a man that has done a lot for F3 Columbia, the one and only Fountain head. The workout was at last weeks dawnstrike, and 3 pax were there to enjoy. Read the whole BB here.
The Thang:
Warmup on the field which was a preview of the rest of the morning:
Mercans X 10, 4CT IC
Squats X 10, 4CT IC
American Hammers X 10, 4CT IC
Tuck Jumps X 20, OYO
Rocky Situps X 20, OYO
With that the Q introduced the pax to a little white ball that has brought heartbreak to countless millions across the world. Upon this particular little white ball was scrawled the letters, M, A, S, T, E & R in a fashion that only one letter could be "up" however the ball was rolled. Each pax was allowed to take in turn the choice of "holes" which was really a target a reasonable three, four or five throw distance… par 3, 4 and 5. That pax then threw the ball toward said "hole" and the pax raced out to find it. As the gloom was especially gloomy, finding the ball in the dark wasn't always easy. However, once found the letter upon the ball facing up was announced and the following exercises were accomplished in place:
M – Mercans X 20, OYO
A – American Hammers X 20, OYO
S – Squats X 20, OYO
T – Tuck Jumps X 20, OYO
E – Everything X 10… Mercans, Hammers, Squats, Tuck Jumps and Rocky Situps, all OYO
R – Rocky Situps X 20, OYO
Once the exercise was completed, the pax that found the ball or called the exercise then had the turn of throwing the evil white ball onward toward the previously selected "hole". Rinse and Repeat the exercise as explained above with each "stroke".
Finally, when the final throw strikes the target, the "putt" requires all pax to bearcrawl to the "hole" and the game moves on to the next pax and the next "hole".
Rather than itemize the holes played, let me give a basic recap of play. First, the "T" was either far larger than the other letters or the ball was weighted. The pax did more TuckJumps than any workout should reasonably include. The "E" was also in heavy rotation such that, at one point, Tuckjumps were featured in four or five consecutive strokes.
Noteworthy also was that, just like real golf, YHC's ball inextricably disappeared. Not so common was that the ball was lost on a "putt" of only a few feet where it disappeared into a bush no bigger than a doghouse and never was found. Thankfully Oscar had picked up a tennis ball along the way and play resumed with it instead, the exercise called became, therefor, dealers choice. Pipeline called burpees.
Last, This was only YHC's second or third bootcamp in months due to an injury and it showed. Also much like my golf game, the infrequency of the act was excruciatingly apparent. Special thank-you to the pax for accommodating the unusual Q with reasonably good humor.
The goods: i've always been a fan of a Q that brings a theme and some humility to the table. F'head did both in this case. Seems like this was a laid back Q, which is sometime just what the doctor ordered.

Virtual Embodiment has the potential to profoundly change people by "redefining the very relationship we have to our own minds". A fascinating study shows, for instance, that abusive men who were given the opportunity to experience the victim's perspective through a rehabilitation programme, got significantly better at recognizing fear in the faces of women. Through a highly realistic other-body simulation, identification was made possible.
Could a combination of VR, VE and AR (Augmented Reality) be used to truly understand a broader range of perspectives, other species, higher states & personal developmental stages? What about various levels of cultural complexity? Read this mind-boggling futuristic article and let us know what you think!
"Having read Johnson-Laird, he'd begun to wonder whether reality, as we experience it, might be a mental stage set—a representation of the world, rather than the world itself. Having an O.B.E. [Out of Body Experience] could be like visiting the set at night, when it wasn't being used. Metzinger started to think about how such a model might be constructed. Some internal mental system must function as an invisible, unconscious set dresser, making an itch feel like an itch, coloring the sky blue and the grass green."
Recommendations for an embodied reading experience:
Music: Trentemøller – Take me into your skin
Food & Beverage: Local comfort food and strong, black coffee to maintain a sense of reality.

The U.S. government is retiring its last medical research chimps
The last 50 chimpanzees held in captivity for medical research purposes are heading into retirement, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced Wednesday.
In 2013, the NIH announced its intention to retire most of the hundreds of research chimps owned by the government agency and living in laboratories around the United States, keeping only 50 chimps on reserve for possible biomedical investigations.
But now, the government agency is going to start putting the rest of its chimps — humanity's closest animal relatives — into sanctuaries.
The change comes after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service designated chimps in captivity as endangered earlier this year, the NIH said.
According to the NIH, the agency has ended all of its biomedical research using chimps that didn't fall within new criteria established by the Institute of Medicine, and the organizations haven't approved any new projects under the new guidelines.
"As a result of these numerous changes over the last few years and the significantly reduced demand for chimpanzees in NIH-supported biomedical research, it is clear that we've reached a tipping point," NIH director Dr. Francis Collins said in a statement.
Chimps were vital in creating important medicines and even paved astronauts' way into space. But their use had already become rare in recent decades, even before a 2011 Institute of Medicine report said science had advanced to the point that most such research could no longer be justified.
The NIH agreed, and began phasing out remaining uses of the animals in invasive medical research.
The NIH will still continue to perform research on non-human primates that aren't chimps, a practice that Collins told the Associated Press is "essential for human health."
Some scientists aren't totally onboard with the idea of retiring these research chimps.
"Is that ultimately in the public health interest?" asked Frankie Trull, president of the Foundation for Biomedical Research. Trull noted that Ebola kills chimpanzees in the wild, and wondered if efforts to create a vaccine for wild apes could be hindered without research chimps for testing.
Collins, for his part, said that Ebola vaccines are already being tested in monkeys, and that will continue.
The NIH will now start the process of relocating the chimps to the Federal Sanctuary System as space opens up, and "on a timescale that will allow for optimal transition of each individual chimpanzee with careful consideration of their welfare, including their health and social grouping," Collins said.
The sanctuary system is actually only one particular facility called Chimp Haven, located in Keithville, Louisiana, about 22 miles southwest of Shreveport. Chimp Haven serves as the National Chimpanzee Sanctuary, according to its website.
