Indy Looking to Bounce Back
The Coronavirus has posed plenty of challenges to the City of Indianapolis, but it can recover and has a lot going for it. That was the message from Chris Gahl, the Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications of Visit Indy.
Gahl spoke to 93 WIBCs Tony Katz Wednesday morning. He said theres been very little to no activity at the Indiana Convention Center since the pandemic really became a problem in mid-March.
He also said that when conventions start to come back, research shows people will want to drive and be in control of their own travel destiny, which favors Indianapolis.
GenCon was supposed to happen July 30th – August 2nd, but was canceled because of the Coronavirus.
Gen Con has been rescheduled for August 5-8, 2021 at the Indiana Convention Center.
Gahl anticipates conventions will probably start coming back around September or October, provided that there are no Coronavirus setbacks.

Principal Elizabeth Laffeaty-Sharpe cooks for pupils as Downham Preparatory School stays open
PUBLISHED: 14:48 01 March 2018 | UPDATED: 15:54 01 March 2018
Archant 2018
While hundreds of schools were closed across the region because of the weather, one was determined to go the extra mile for pupils.
Downham Preparatory School and Montessori Nursery at Stow Bardolph, near Downham Market, has remained open despite the snow.
And when its caterers said they couldn't deliver hot meals for pupils, its principal Elizabeth Laffeaty-Sharpe rolled her sleeves up and got cooking.
Mrs Laffeaty-Sharpe, 68, who founded the school in a former rectory in 1984, said: "There's a downside to it - they want me to cook for them every day. They've all come in this morning and asked what's for lunch.
"Yesterday we had a bolognese, a meat one and a vegetarian one with garlic bread. Today we're having lasagne or pizza with salad and coleslaw."
Friday's menu is due to feature sausages and mash. Mrs Laffeaty-Sharpe said the school and nursery, which is just off the A10, had remained open because many of their 160 pupils' parents did vital jobs.
"We've got lots of parents who are paramedics, doctors or ambulance drivers," she said. "If we close, they've all got to be at home looking after their children.
"We've got parents who do vital jobs who can't do those vital jobs if we close."
Downham artist Liz Murray, whose three-year-old daughter Florence has attended the school's nursery for two years, said: "She's been going since she was eight years old and she loves it. It's a classic, traditional school.
"The school has not only remained open with staff getting there at 7am, but whilst their catering services have closed the principal Mrs Laffeaty-Sharpe has cooked spaghetti herself to ensure the children continue to have hot dinners.
"This proves that communities can still function with literal grit and pride to keep things moving, this is true British spirit."
The school was rated "outstanding" by Ofsted after its last two inspections in 2009 and 2014.
It has been based at the former rectory in the centre of the village, near the Hare Arms, since 1991.
It has won a clutch of awards, including the Norfolk Quality Assurance Scheme for Early Years Provision, Healthy School status and Investors in People.

Environmentalists Say Oil-Drilling Sewage|Is Polluting Pittsburgh's Drinking Water
PITTSBURGH (CN) – Environmentalists say sewage from McKeesport is polluting Pittsburgh's drinking water with waste from oil and gas drilling, giving people heart attacks, high blood pressure, cancer and other health problems, and making water drawn from the Monongahela River unsafe to drink, cook with or even bathe in.
Clean Water Action and Three Rivers Waterkeeper sued the Municipal Authority of the City of McKeesport in Federal Court.
Plaintiffs say they get drinking water from a point downstream from the Municipal Authority's discharge and use the Monongahela for recreation. Members of the groups say they "suffer from and are at an increased risk of adverse health effects from exposure to oil and gas wastewaters" that are not properly treated before McKeesport dumps it into the Monongahela.
The environmentalists say that the Municipal Authority's treatment system "is designed to treat sewage, but does not and cannot remove pollutants commonly found in oil and gas wastewater."
They also claim the Municipal Authority "failed to disclose the oil and gas related pollutants and their concentrations in its discharge" in its renewal application for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit.
Samples McKeesport's effluent and of the Monongahela River taken by the Center for Healthy Environments and Communities and analyzed by a certified, independent laboratory showed pollutants that included "barium, calcium, magnesium, molybdenum, strontium, copper, bromide, chloride, and total dissolved solids," according to the complaint.
McKeesport's neighbors, the Allegheny Valley Joint Sewer Authority and Franklin Township Sewer Authority, stopped accepting oil and gas wastewater after the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection "requested that drilling companies refrain from disposing oil and gas wastewater in municipal treatment works" in an order issued on April 19 this year, the environmental groups say.
Despite that order, McKeesport continues to violate the Clean Water Act and the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law, and violates its permit by failing to properly monitor, limit and treat its oil and gas wastewater, the complaint states.
The plaintiffs seek declaratory judgment and an injunction ordering McKeesport to comply with Clean Water Act and the Clean Streams Law.
McKeesport is southeast of Pittsburgh.
The plaintiffs are represented by Emily Collins with the University of Pittsburgh Environmental Law Clinic and Three Rivers Waterkeeper's legal director Patrick Grenter, of Homestead.

"Having children could slow down the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS)," The Independent reported. It said researchers have found that, compared to women with MS who have never had children, those who had children after the onset of the disease were 39% less likely to have progressed to a stage where they needed assistance when walking 100m.
This research looked at the medical records of women attending an MS clinic in Belgium. The study has a number of limitations. For example, rather than childbirth slowing down the progress of MS, an alternative explanation of the results is that women who have less severe MS are more likely to decide to have children than those who have a faster-progressing disease.
Due to the study's limitations, it does not provide conclusive evidence of the effects of pregnancy on the long-term progression of MS. Larger studies that examine this question are needed.
Where did the story come from?
The research was carried out by Dr M B D'hooghe and colleagues from the National MS Centre (Nationaal MS Centrum) in Belgium and other research centres in Belgium and the Netherlands. No sources of funding were reported for the study, and the researchers declared that they had no conflicts of interest. The study was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry .
This study was reported accurately by the BBC News website and The Independent . However, the BBC gave a more balanced report as it also provided important information about the study's limitations.
What kind of research was this?
This study investigated how childbirth affects multiple sclerosis (MS) in the long term. Some previous studies have suggested that the risk of relapse in MS might reduce during pregnancy but then increase in the three months after giving birth. The researchers report that the long-term effects of pregnancy on MS progression are not clear.
The study was cross sectional, which means that the data were collected at one point in time. The data were collected from medical records, which allowed the researchers to identify when MS was first diagnosed, its severity over time, and details of any pregnancies the women had. As this data was not collected specifically for this study, there is a greater possibility that some of the information may be inaccurate or missing. A study that was set up to collect specific data prospectively would have been preferable.
What did the research involve?
The researchers used data from the medical records of 330 women attending their MS clinic. The women had had MS for an average of 18 years. The researchers grouped the women into those who did not have children (80 women), those who had children before they developed MS (170 women), those who had children after they developed MS (61 women), and those who had children before and after they developed MS (19 women).
The researchers were interested in when the women reached a specific level of MS severity. The scale they used to measure MS severity was the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), which ranges from zero (normal neurological function) to 10 (death from MS). The level the researchers were interested in was EDSS 6, which signifies a level of disability where the women needed assistance (e.g. with a cane) for at least part of a 100 metre walk.
The researchers compared how long it took the groups of women who had children at differing time points to reach EDSS 6 compared to women with no children. In this analysis, the researchers took into account the time when the women's MS began.
Another analysis compared all women who had children with those without, as it can be difficult to say exactly when the biological process that results in MS starts. The researchers also specifically looked at women who developed MS before the age of 30, as these women were more likely to give birth after that age.
What were the basic results?
The women had MS for an average of 18 years, at which point just over half (55%) the women had reached the EDSS 6 level of severity. The proportion of each group that reached EDSS 6 was:
- 52% of the women who did not have children.
- 59% of those who had children before they developed MS.
- 51% of those who had children after they developed MS.
- 37% of those who had children before and after they developed MS.
The researchers found that women who had children after the onset of their MS tended to take longer to reach EDSS 6 than those who had no children. Some of this effect was due to the age at which the groups developed MS, but the difference was still significant even after this was taken into account (hazard ratio [HR] 0.61, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.37 to 0.99). Women who had children at any time also took longer to reach EDSS 6 than women who did not have children (hazard ratio [HR] 0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.47 to 0.95).
Similar results were found when the researchers assessed only women who developed MS before the age of 30. However, the difference between the four groups did not reach statistical significance. This may have been due to the smaller number of women in this analysis.
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers conclude that their results "seem to support a possible favourable long-term effect of childbirth on the course of MS", but that the results could be biased.
This research has a number of limitations that reduce the reliability of its results:
- As the authors acknowledge, they cannot exclude the possibility that women who have less severe MS are more likely to have children than those who have more severe MS. If this is the case, the severity of MS would affect the likelihood of having a baby, rather than childbirth affecting the severity of MS. The researchers did not have detailed information about how the severity of MS progressed over time or about the women's reasons for not becoming pregnant, which could help them to determine whether this was the case.
- The women's age at the onset of the disease also seemed to affect the results, as taking this into account reduced the size of the observed effect. To remove this problem, the researchers carried out analyses only in women who developed MS before the age of 30. Although these analyses still showed a trend towards a longer time to EDSS 6 in women who had children after the onset of MS, this effect was no longer significant. This may have been due to the smaller number of women in this analysis. These results will need to be confirmed in another study.
- The study was relatively small, which may reduce the reliability of its results. This small size may explain the wide confidence intervals around the hazard ratios, suggesting that these findings are not particularly robust.
- Medical records, from which this study obtained its data, are not always completely accurate and don't always give the complete story. For example, women may have first gone to the clinic at different stages in their development of MS, and there may have been discrepancies in how the severity of their MS was assessed.
- The study did not take into account what treatments the women were receiving. The researchers say that immune system treatments for MS have only gradually come into use over the past 10 years, and for most of the study period would not have been used by the majority of the participants.
- Not all the women that were assessed had reached EDSS 6, and the results may have been different if all the women had been followed until they reached this stage.
Due to these limitations, this study does not provide conclusive evidence about the effects of pregnancy on the long-term progression of MS. Further studies will need to look at this question. These studies will preferably involve a group of women of similar ages shortly after they develop MS and will follow them up over time to monitor the severity of their MS.

A good strap cutter is actually an invaluable bit of kit that is normally overlooked by a lot of people when they are putting together their kit list but is really an invaluable addition to your load out. A standard "decent" strap cutter from a reputable company like Gerber, specifically designed for cutting seat belt straps, is going to set you back around £35 and will normally come with a window breaker or punch facility. This will be a good investment for many years of reliable service and provide a product that is truly fit for purpose.
As a budget alternative you can use "industrial" strap cutters designed for cutting box strapping but surprisingly effective at cutting through seat belt webbing! These are going to cost you a lot less than £35, more like £5-£10, but will probably not last that long so by the time you have had to replace it 3 or 4 times you would have been better off investing in something a bit more suitable.
As an alternative to a single purpose strap cutter Gerber have also released a version of their standard Crucial Multi-Tool that comes with a strap cutter instead of the bottle-opener/carabiner. Specifically designed for the tactical market, this version of the crucial also comes in Gucci black! For just under forty notes the Crucial Multitool has a fully functioning strap cutter that is fit for purpose and also packs the usual knife, screw drivers (flat and philips head), can opener and pliers.

On the trail of luxury watches in the Jura
With its valleys, small lakes and hamlets dotted on pastures, the Joux Valley is a favourite destination for nature lovers both in summer and winter. It is also the cradle of the Swiss luxury watch industry.This content was published on May 14, 2014 - 11:00
Cut off from the rest of the world in winter, farmers in the Joux Valley in the 18th Century began to make watch components. It meant that they had an extra source of income. Brands such as Audemars Piguet and Jaeger-LeCoultre were developed here. They were later joined by names such as Patek Philippe, Blancpain, Breguet and Vacheron Constantin.
Today 7000 people work in the valley. It has a population of 6600 (including children and the retired). That means that the watch industry employees a large number of cross-border workers: 4000 French citizens travel to the valley on a daily basis for work.
The cross-border workers have been coming from much further afield than the regions just over the national boundary, they now come from all over France. For the companies it is easier to employee someone from Paris than it is from the Lake Geneva region. For them, the two passes leading up into the Swiss Jura hills, are apparently insurmountable psychological barriers.

We need to be very clear in the churches and in our history regarding this lie that permiates even in the Christian circles which identifies these imposters as being the prophetic milestone of Israel's restoration. This is absolutely contrary to what scripture teaches, 1948 restoration is not scriptural and is an abomination taught by the Christian churches today. As I have already shown in a previous article the other generation of imposters in Israel the edomites children of Esau and the palestines who will be purged out in the end time. Biblical history will show that the children of Japhet the Ashkenazi people claiming to be Israel are imposters and are of the lineage of Japhet and not Israel.
For a very good insight on the acceptance of Hebrewism in other nations the account of Esther as to the fact that Hebrewism was accepted in the days of Mordecai by all nations as a decree and a miracle which the most high performed through Esther for our people his inheritance. This is a confirmation as to how other nations practised Hebrewism
The Book Of The Rest Of Esther
(36) Therefore every city and country whatsoever, which shall not do according to these things, shall be destroyed without mercy with fire and sword, and shall be made not only unpassable for men, but also most hateful to wild beasts and fowls for ever
(37) The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published unto all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
(38) So the posts that rode upon mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
(39) And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
(40) The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honour.
(41) And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell upon them.
Ashkenaz was a son of Gomer, who was the son of Japheth, who was the son of Noah. Therefore, the Ashkenazi are Gentiles by birth, not Jews or Israelites, as the Israelites are descendants of the 12 sons of Jacob who is a descendant of Shem, not Japheth. (Gen. 10-49) From biblical historical facts Japheth descendent are the Indo-European peoples. The Indo-European peoples are identified as the "white" or Caucasian race.
It is not racism to say Ashekenazi are not Jews by promise, but as in Esther's day, many Persians and nations of the old world converted to Hebrewism out of obedience and became Jews. The idea that Christians would ally themselves with a nation or any nations armed with nukes bombing their neighbors and innoccents is alarming. The fathers temple will not be built by a gentile nation and from prophecy we know that the new temple described in The Book of Ezekiel Chp 42 to 48 was never prophesied to be an abomination. If any temple is built at all by these gentile false Jews it is the temple of Satan! so do not be fooled.
Clearly, Paul and Revelation state there will be a new heaven and a new earth, and Zion will come out of that Heaven, not the polluted ruins that is covered with blood of the prophets, our forefathers and our Saviour. The Ashekenazi and false Christians have used this propaganda to profit from those poor souls that need to be freed. (Amos Chapter 9) "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this."
After the confusion of languages at the Tower of Babel, God orderly divided up the different peoples of the world. When God changed the language of the people of the world He did so by family (tribe or clan) and nations. These families who were related found they spoke the same language and gathered together in migrating generally west and north out of Babylonia. This was probably not a migration of all these families in one group. It would seem all these families separately migrated in the same general direction because they all had a common language. This migration of people lasted over many centuries. In seeking new lands as the population grew they spread northward and to the west.
Ashkenazi Jews are people who are descended from the Jewish population of Central and Eastern Europe. Judaism can be both a cultural and a religious identity, and in the case of Ashkenazi Jews, they are religiously descended from the Ashkenazim and are practicing Judaism, all they are, are an adopted Ashkenazic jewish traditions without being ethnically related to the Hebrews of of the bible. Around 80% of the Jewish people around the world are Ashkenazim, including most American Jews.
Lets examine the root of the the name from our bible the book of genesis and you will better understand the nature and roots of these identity thiees who claim to be true Israel. The book of genesis clearly defines thatashkenaz was a son of japhet and the this nation was given land in where we call Europe today
(1) Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood.
(2) The sons of Japheth; Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tubal, and Meshech, and Tiras.
(3) And the sons of Gomer; Ashkenaz, and Riphath, and Togarmah.
(4) And the sons of Javan; Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.
(5) By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
People Associated With the Name
Japheth -Greeks, Aryans of India
Gomer – People living in area of the Black Sea, Germany and Wales.
Magog -Reference to "Gog" referring to Georgia, a region near the Black Sea and Scythians.
Madai – Medes (Persia), Japheth through Madai father of peoples of India.
Javan- People of Greece and Cyprus.
Tubal- Russian, city of Tobolsk.
Meshech- Russian, (Name Muskovi) city of Moscow.
Tiras- Thracians, possibly the Etruscans of Italy.
Ashkenaz- Germany, Armenia, Scandinavia, Denmark, northern islands of Europe and European west coast.
Ripath- Generally Europe, Carpathians and Paphlagonians

May God enlarge Japheth, and may he dwell in the tents of Shem; and may Canaan be his servant." (Gen. 9:27)
How did the descendants of Japheth "dwell in the tents of Shem"? From history we observe the European nations first explore the foreign lands to expand their territories. This "enlarges Japheth." Their next step was to establish Judaism and Christian missions. We all acknowledge our Lord Jesus Christ is the "God of Shem". The "tents of Shem" signify the the taking over of our faith , our land, our identity and posing as the true Israel .

Helping Parents Separate the Wheat From the Chaff: Putting Autism Treatments to the Test
When a child is first diagnosed with a developmental disability, clinicians often have a one-time opportunity to influence treatment decisions. Ideally, parents are given information and recommendations about evidenced-based treatment, but, often, this information may not be delivered or received for several reasons. First, the clinician may spend the vast majority of the visit focusing on the basis for the diagnosis. Second, some diagnosticians may not see it as their role to do more than give very general or neutral recommendations. Third, even if strong recommendations are given, the parents of a newly diagnosed child may not be able to attend to more than the diagnostic information due to their emotional reaction to the news they have just received or their immediate concerns about the child's potential outcome.

'Men date me then find their wife': Single radio producer, 34, discovers she is a 'foster girlfriend' in relationships - and reveals the signs you might be one tooOriginally Posted by Chlodovech
- Triple M radio producer Jana Hocking has recently discovered a new dating term
- A 'foster girlfriend' is a girl who dates men until they find their forever girlfriend
- The 34-year-old has identified this as being the sequence of her last partners
- Her inability to commit has made her would-be boyfriend's find someone else
A single Australian radio producer has discovered that she was a 'foster girlfriend' for many of her previous lovers, as she explains the new dating trend and how to identify it.
Triple M producer Jana Hocking, 34, came across the term last week when she was social media stalking her ex-boyfriends, only to find they are all now married with a child on the way.
She diagnosed herself as a 'foster girlfriend', who according to Urban Dictionary is a woman who dates men until they find their wife and who doesn't want to be with a man long-term.
Jana, who once claimed she had been single for the past seven years, was 'frantic' about the possibility of being a 'foster girlfriend' and began to look at the 'evidence'.
'It could be argued that I am terrible at texting. I don't have much time for dating if I'm snowed under with work. I can't stand it when a guy stays over and then wants to spend the rest of the day with me,' she told news.com.au.
'I enjoy the cute cuddly part of the relationship minus the responsibilities.'
Jana also realised that she isn't concerned about having a child just yet and has a 'long list' of life accomplishments she'd like to achieve before settling down.
According to research done by Purdue University in Indiana those that are ready to find a lifelong partner will start engaging in an 'active pursuit', something that Jana is not yet doing.
'It could be paying more attention to your appearance, updating your wardrobe, spending money on dates, or actively seeking out a partner,' she said of the study.
Those that are less interested in finding The One are usually more focused on their career, lifestyle or position in life.
While Jana doesn't feel rushed to make a serious commitment she does note there are two distinct types of daters: Those that are actively dating to find their one true love and those who are dating for fun.
And at the moment she's happily in the second category.

|Venus Raj's Miss(ed) Opportunities
|Columns - JGL Eye
|Thursday, 26 August 2010 21:48
JGL Eye
By JOSEPH G. LARIOSA
(Journal Group Link International)
Maria Venus Raj's Miss(ed) Opportunities
C HICAGO (jGLi) – My kababayan (region mate) Maria Venus Raj from the Bicol Region was an answer away from becoming the third Miss Universe from the Philippines but she just panicked big-time with her answer.
For her performance, I am adding an award to her as the "Miss Congeniality Universe" instead of just the fourth runner-up honors.
There was no doubt that many things must have been going on in her mind as she turned to face the question from actor and beauty-contest judge William Baldwin: "What is one big mistake that you've made in your life, and what did you do to make it right?"
And her answer: "You know what, sir? In my 22 years of existence, I can say there is nothing major, major, I mean problem that I have done in my life," said Venus Raj with a wide smile on her face, adding that she thought it was a "great questions."
There was no doubt that Miss Raj was under tremendous pressure of putting a brave face in the light of the tragedy that befell her best friend and mentor, 2009 Miss International semi-finalist Melody Gerbach, who died in an accident a few days before the pageant.
But for a cum laude graduate, Miss Raj was expected to do better than she did. As the Bible says, "for those much is given, much is expected" (http://bible.cc/luke/12-48.htm).
She should remember that as a contestant, she should be ready to answer "canned questions" with "canned answers" anytime.
The question posed on her was eliciting an answer that should inspire the youth, who look up to her as their role models.
M iss Raj should not be nervous with her answer because she was not being asked by a police or an inquest fiscal, who would arrest her if she gave a wrong opinion.
All she had to do was to remember one of her mistakes, revisit it on the spot and remember how she corrected her mistake and how she was able to avoid the same mistake.
She does not even have to mention her mistake.
By telling Mr. Baldwin "there is nothing major, major, I mean problem that I have done in my life," she suddenly went on a denial mode that speaks volume of her insincerity and her mental dishonesty.
She should have said, "like any human being, I am not perfect. I have had my shares of mistakes. But I make sure that after I reviewed my mistakes, I make sure that I will avoid the incidents that caused my mistakes." That is all the judges and millions of viewers needed to hear from her.
The pageant also made a genius out of my friend, former Philippine President Joseph E. Estrada, who has been criticized for delivering gibberish English. As a result, Mr. Estrada has preferred to speak in his native Tagalog although Mr. Estrada speaks good English.
But in answering his critics, Mr. Estrada said the trouble with these Filipino Anglophones (English-speaking Filipinos), "akala nila ang pag-e-English ay ang kaisang-isang paraan na makakatulong sa problema ng ating bayan." (They thought speaking English is the only key to solve the problem of a nation.)
If you noticed during the pageant, Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete needed an English translator posed on her by Olympic gold-medal figure skater and judge Evan Lysacek to answer the question: How she felt about unsupervised Internet use among the young people.
Miss Navarrete's answer: "I do believe that Internet is an indispensable, necessary tool for the present time," she said through an interpreter. "We must be sure to teach them the values that we learned as a family."
Without speaking English, Miss
She did not need English to win the coveted title. She only needed a lot of common sense that Mr. Estrada wanted to tell the English-loving Filipinos that is needed to solve the nation's problem. In this case, the winning Miss Universe's question. # # #

Axarquia? Think Costa del Sol
There's so much more to Spain's Costa del Sol than sun, sea and sangria. Turn inland and you're looking at the Axarquia, an unspoiled wildly beautiful and rugged area, waiting for you to explore it. Mountains, wooded hills and plunging gorges, dotted with small towns, tiny settlements and farmsteads give a sense of the true heart of this unique region.
Almond, olive, lemon and orange groves thrive in valleys fed by springs and from streams descending from the mountains, fertile land carved into terraces to maximise the best agricultural areas.
The best way to explore is on foot or by mountain bike. Let's get started with this free sample circular walk, quite short and not too energetic.
Find out lots more from Discovery Walking Guides HERE.
You'll also find information about using your device for accessing walks in the Axarquia as well as how to get your hands on the area's most detailed guidebook and map. There's also another free walk (pdf format) for you to download.
Spain's Costa Del Sol: Sierra Almijara + Sierra Tejeda = La Axarquia
Author/researcher Charles Davis sums up this beautiful, unspoilt region thus:
"The Axarquía is one of Spain's great places, and among the greatest places within it are the Sierras Tejeda and Almijara, which form the backbone both of the region and the present publication. Blessed with high summits, dizzying pinnacles, dramatic crags, deep ravines, dozens of springs, delightful rivers and the best coves on the Costa del Sol, this is an area that has something for everyone. And the only prerequisites for benefitting from all this are a desire to get off the beaten track and a set of relatively, sometimes very, sturdy legs.
If you've not seen them already, you can get an idea of how dramatic these mountains are from one simple fact, that the high peaks, including Lucero (1775 metres), Navachica (1832 metres) and La Maroma (2070 metres), are all within ten kilometres of the coast, rising out of the sea like a succession of immense pedestals, just waiting for humankind to enthrone whoever or whatever we find most sacred or simply most lacking in our quotidian lives."
You can see a sample walk here:- http://www.dwgwalking.co.uk/axarquiasamplewalk25.pdf
There's information about the book Walk! The Axarquia (available as a printed book or as a pdf download book in A4 format) and the maps available for the region (printed, on paper and on Super-Durable material); there are also Custom Maps for Garmins for GPS users.

Researching Pupil Well-Being in UK Secondary Schools: Community psychology and the politics of research
Duckett, Paul, Sixsmith, Judith and Kagan, Carolyn (2008) Researching Pupil Well-Being in UK Secondary Schools: Community psychology and the politics of research. Childhood, 15 (1). pp. 89-106. ISSN 0907-5682 (print) 1461-7013 (online)Full text for this resource is not available from the Research Repository.
This study explores the relationships between a school, its staff and its pupils and the impact of these relationships on school pupils' well-being. The authors adopted a community psychological perspective and applied critical, social constructionist epistemologies and participatory, multi-method research tools. The article discusses the importance of focusing on the complex, multilayered context of people's lives (both participants and researchers) that are impacted by social, economic, cultural and political contexts. Finally, it reflects on the contrast between the messiness of real-world social science research and the often sanitized nature of its reporting.

Zenefits co-founder's new firm is offering its benefits tech to all brokers
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Parker Conrad may be trying to repair his relationship with the advising community by adding more brokerages to his list of clients.
The Zenefits co-founder and former CEO announced Tuesday his new startup software company, Rippling, is now available to every benefits broker in the U.S. The company is also starting a new broker partner program, which includes cost savings for advisers and clients, and one-on-one support, among other services.
Rippling, which launched last May, is coming off a $45 million series A funding round in April and positioning itself as an all-in-one employee management system for payroll, benefits, information technology and identity verification. The system boasts broad integrations with a variety of vendors including Slack, G Suite and Salesforce, among others.
Rippling allows HR managers and brokers to access a number of benefits including PTO, health insurance and payroll via a single sign-on platform. HR managers can also use the tool to hire new employees, set up access to company email accounts and order electronics.
Conrad says the company is hoping to give HR and payroll giants — most notably Gusto, Namely, ADP, Paychex and his own brainchild, Zenefits — a run for their money. The tool could be a game changer for brokers by allowing them to bring a more comprehensive HR and benefits solution to clients while easing some of the administrative burden, he says.
"We're handling the direct carrier connection; they can spend their time on the advisory piece of this," Conrad told Employee Benefit Adviser.
Conrad co-founded Zenefits in 2013, which initially shook up the industry by offering free digital broker software to small businesses, a move that cut out many benefit brokers. Although the company eventually pivoted to offer services through brokerages, it left many advisers feeling unsettled, says Erik Hansen, president at Vita, a boutique brokerage.
"There's still a bad taste in most brokers mouths about that," he says. Conrad eventually resigned from his role at Zenefits in 2017 amid regulatory and compliance issues.
Ahead of Tuesday's announcement, Rippling beta tested its tool with a small group of brokerages, including Vita, Hansen's firm. So far Hansen thinks the tool has been a good fit for some clients — mostly startup tech companies that are doing a lot of hiring.
"Rippling is a compelling solution when it's paired with expertise on the advising side," he says. "The technology is constantly improving like most startup tech, which is always a good thing."

Conrad acknowledges the tension that existed between his prior firm and the brokerage community, but the experience also taught him about the dedication that many employers have for their local broker.
"They have a tremendous amount of loyalty to their insurance brokers," he says. "Yes, we won a lot of deals, but we also lost a lot of deals just on that fact."
So far the response to Rippling has been mostly positive, Conrad says. Companies want integrated technology to help better administer benefits, and combining both the broker and the software can create a powerful solution for employers, he adds.
"[Brokers] believe — from the second you get on the phone call — that we know how to build software that's going to win," he says. "They want to be able to win against some of the modern all-in-one systems."

So, here is an idea for mortgage companies.
Instead of foreclosing on a property, what if you rewrite the loan in the following way:
1) keep the principle amount the same.
2) lower the rate to today's lower rate.
3) and ammortize for 40 years.
1)A) principle of the note stays the same for the future payoff.
1)B) Keeping the principle the same means that the borrower needs to stay in the property until the market re-appreciates to the value of the principle to avoid selling at a loss.
This means more people will stay put, and at the same time, be able to pay for their house.
2) and 3) will make the payments easier to afford.
More Why?
Most loans are paid off by sale or refinance within the first 7 years of the loan.
By making the payments affordable, but keeping the principle amount as is, the loans will perform longer and mitigate much of the loss.
Good for the owner (of course):
$100,000 @ 10% = $877/month on a 30 year ammort.
$100,000 @ 6% = $550/month on a 40 year ammort.
This allows a reduction of $327/month in payments.
Better than foreclosure for the Investor:
The future values are dramatically lower for the "new" loan, but ONLY if they go to final payment.
In reality, they will both be paid off by the seventh year based on average ownership statistics.
That would mean a "loss" of about $45,000* on paper versus an actual loss in the event of an actual foreclosure.
*(the 7 year FV of the 10% note - FV 6% note = $194,871.71-$150,363.03 = +-$45,000)
A foreclosure loss will include:
- 12-24 months of no payment ($877 x 24 = -$21,000)
- legal fees (-$4000)
- broker fees (up to -$6000)
- loss of value of this property and other properties in the neighborhood (-$15,000 min)
- REO staff increases (-$10,000)
$21 + 4 + 6 + 15 + 10 = more than $56,000 in actual loss over 2 years
By re-writing the note, the Investor reduces their loss:
The "new note" performs over the next 84 months instead of costing actual money over the next 24 months.
84 x $550 = $46,200 that the note returns over the next 24 months as it performs versus $0 durring 24 month foreclosure.
$46,200 - 45,000 = $1,200 positive OR Straight $56,000 loss over the next 2 years.
Other useful benefits incude:
Property values do not decline as dramatically as when many foreclosures take over a market.
The loss numbers get much larger much faster when the face loan value increases.

Hi Chris and Emma,
Do you have a bathroom yet? Do you have a room yet?!!!
We both love reading the blog, and it seems that you've done so much since we left. Sorry to hear that the sandblasting proved to be a nightmare experience.
Spent 2 weeks at a workaway near Florence which was great, though the owners are still attempting to finish their ground floor after 6 years! I'm sure you guys will get yours done so much quicker than that!!! Now working on the east coast of Italy, then off to Greece for about a month. The route from there gets a little hazy, but maybe we'll be popping by to see you start of August? We'll let you know nearer the time. In the meantime we'll keep checking your blog. Hope you get the chance to look at ours every now and again. Congrats on the progress. Take care. Love Sharon and Jason xx

Hi Guys
Great to hear from you, I read about your alfresco showering arrangement! Made me think we had been too soft on you, next time we will get you to bathe in the stream!!!
Two steps forward one step back here! Last night we finished the walls of the first room, however we still do not have the plumbing in, although we have the right holes and all the fixtures. Looks like we will be still at the gites until the end of May as we have Chris' uncle coming and workaways so we will not have 3 bedrooms finished in time!!
Let us know when you are next in the area, we would be delighted to have you back!
Emma and Chris x
