In an effort to further discussion on Student Housing West, UC Santa Cruz will hold two information sessions next week and two public hearings the following week - sessions will provide an overview of the project and additional information learned since release of the draft EIR, including information regarding costs.

text: Makers of the genuine Swiss Army knife and recognized as one of Switzerland's premier manufacturers of Swiss watches, Wenger has set the benchmark by which multi-functionality, timepiece technology, innovation, and styling are measured. "Made in Switzerland" has carried with it an untainted mystique; an air of quality. Passed from generation to generation, the attention to detail and the devotion to perfection are as natural to the Swiss as the snow in their Alps. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that the Wenger Swiss Army Knife as well as Wenger's Swiss watches have become the very picture of precision craftsmanship that has stood as the standard for quality, precision engineering and lasting satisfaction for decades. With the same high standards of quality and versatility, Wenger has recently launched a new line of accessories, travel gear and footwear that the company believes will live up to the reputation of the legendary Wenger name and the iconic Swiss Army logo.

Well Light
Lighting Objective
Well lights are used primarily for the up lighting of architecture or trees in the landscape when a conventional spot light is not an option or a higher powered light source is needed.
Lighting Challenges
- Installation: requires a bit more time and a place to dump the dirt and spoils that are dug out of the holes made for the fixtures.
- Moisture: unless well sealed, expect moisture to get into the lamp housing area during heavy rains or times of very high humidity, which could be potentially catastrophic for LEDs.
- Adjustability: great care must be taken when choosing the placement locations. It is much more difficult to pick up and move a foot to the left or right with these fixtures.
- Maintenance: if using well lights, you will definitely need to make sure you are checking on them from time to time. They will undoubtedly get cover by mulch, grass and/or ground cover plants over the course of time which will block all light output, rendering them useless.
- Low profile: One of the best features of the well lights is their ability to vanish in the landscape during the day. Often times, most people would never realize you have a lighting system in place until the sun goes down
- Construction: These lights are often constructed with a PVC base that goes directly in the soil and a brass top. The PVC is completely resistant to soil impurities and corrosion, while the brass top is decorative and resistant to airborne corrosion.
- Lamp source: These fixtures use either an MR16 or PAR36 lamp which gives them wide adaptability to be used in multiple scenarios.
- Grassy areas: Because these fixtures are all underground and only the top sits flush with the surface, they are a great choice to use in grassy areas for lighting trees and other structures where a standard directional spot light would quickly be destroyed by lawn equipment.
Well lights have been and continue to be one of the most widely used light fixtures in the low voltage lighting realm. Their ability to be used in nearly any up lighting scenario coupled with the wide range of usable lamps, continue to give them a firm hold in most lighting designs. Their ability to be in used in grassy areas is their primary strength and the fact that a brighter, more powerful light source can be used in the PAR36 versions gives them distinct advantage over directional spots in some intances.

Banbury United's success has already started to attract the attention of other players and managers, which may – or may not – prove to be a good thing.
Boss Mike Ford said: "When you do something like this it makes it easier to attract players. I had players contacting me this week wishing me good luck and I know why they have been, in case we went up!"

But Ford will be keen to tie-up his players because he knows the football they have played will have caught the attention of other clubs.
Ford said: "These players are the future of this club. We need to have the finances in place to make sure these players don't go anywhere.
"We have to do that quickly because if I was a manager of a club from a higher division here on Monday I would have been impressed."

Read This Book BEFORE You Make A Decision About Leaving The Narcissist In Your Life
Disarming The Narcissist - Surviving & Thriving With The Self-Absorbed
If you are reading this hub, you may have been thinking for quite a while about leaving your narcissist partner.
Enough is enough. You've put up with the unbelievable abuse that a narcissist doles out routinely - harsh criticism, sarcasm, lying, gaslighting, projection, endless arguments that go nowhere and leave hurtful scars, and maybe even cheating.
You may be suffering from suicidal thoughts, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or stress-induced physical illnesses. At the very least, your self-esteem has been damaged and your confidence is low.
Maybe you still love your narcissist partner. You do understand that you will not change his or her behavior. And banging your head against a wall of incredibly horrible narcissist abuse is true insanity. What choice do you have but leaving or divorcing the narcissist?
Before You Throw In The Towel
You've read the literature and forum threads that claim it is near impossible to rehab a narcissist because it requires significant re-parenting. Even trained therapists are wary of narcissists and their twisted, manipulative behavior.
Here's an idea - change YOUR approach!
Modify your behavior directed toward dealing with your narcissist partner. Remember when you start finger-pointing, four fingers are pointing back at the culprit.
Learning How To Modify YOUR Behavior
An effective book that reveals how to deal with a narcissist is entitled Disarming the Narcissist: Surviving and Thriving with the Self-Absorbed. Written by a therapist who has worked almost exclusively with narcissists, she outlines coping techniques that you should seriously consider learning how to use.
Read on to understand the approach used by the author of this ground-breaking book. This review also outlines the positive and not-so-positive aspects of Disarming The Narcissist.
What Disarming The Narcissist Covers
Disarming The Narcissist contains seven chapters aimed at understanding YOU, the partner of a narcissist - why you picked a narcissist as a partner, what buttons your partner pushes, and explains what actions help you cope with narcissist behavior.
Take a look at the following paraphrased chapter headings from the book and notice the focus. If you know how the narcissist thinks and how you react to communications from the narcissist, you can identify strategies that work.
Understanding Narcissism
Understanding The Anatomy Of Personality
Identifying Your Personality Traps
Overcoming The Obstacles To Communication
Facing Difficult Encounters With A Narcissist
A Strategy For Interpersonal Effectiveness
Seven Gifts Of Communication With A Narcissist
Disarming The Narcissist: The Positive Points
Even the most skeptical reader will be impressed with the approach of the author of Disarming The Narcissist. Psychology is truly an art form, yet the author has managed to present a set of methods that works in everyday communications.
The reasons for the effectiveness of this approach are as follows: it makes sense logically and it has worked for the author as a therapist dealing with narcissists. Given that you can learn these coping strategies, why wouldn't they work for the partner of a narcissist?
The work is truly groundbreaking - most books covering the narcissist personality disorder warn the partner of a narcissist to run and hide as quickly as possible. Break all contact. That's a difficult mantra to hear when you love someone cursed with the personality disorder.
Regardless of whether you choose to stay connected to your narcissist partner or leave the relationship, Disarming the Narcissist: Surviving and Thriving with the Self-Absorbed will have provided you with an opportunity to learn skills that will help you deal with difficult people you encounter at work, at home, and in social settings.
Disarming The Narcissist: The Not-So-Positive Points
No book is perfect. Even though Disarming The Narcisssist has a 4-star rating, it has a few not-so-positive characteristics you may want to think about.
The first imperfection is a subjective evaluation that you can discard or accept - the author's writing style is a bit pompous. Reading through the text takes concentration because many points could have been written in simpler language. No, you need not be a PhD to understand it, but you better be in a quiet room with no interruptions when you read through a chapter.
Th second imperfection is somewhat related to the first point above. The passages in the book that you would use to communicate with your narcissist partner seem contrived and too long to hold a narcissist's attention. Many narcissists get bored after the first 10 words that come out of a partner's mouth - it is hard to imagine that the author's communications would captivate them.
Here's the bottom line - the core message of the book is so powerful that the partner of a narcissist should be sufficiently motivated to overcome the imperfections with workarounds. You know who you're dealing with. As long as the basic ideas are communicated to your narcissist partner through your own words, you can make an impression using the book's strategies.

ROME (REUTERS) - Italy coach Antonio Conte is among 104 people a prosecutor has requested to face trial for their alleged involvement in match manipulation in 2011, the Ansa news agency reported on Tuesday.
Conte, who has already served a ban imposed by the Italian football federation (FIGC) in connection with the case but has always denied any wrongdoing, was accused of "sports fraud" by the prosecutor in the northern city of Cremona.
The alleged wrongdoing dates back to 2011, when Conte, who went on to win three successive Serie A titles with Juventus before being appointed Italy coach last year, was in charge of Siena in Serie B.
The prosecutor cited a match against Albino Leffe, while another accusation regarding a match against Novara was dropped, Ansa said.
The request by prosecutor Roberto di Martino mentioned guidelines issued by the Italian coaches' association that said its members should "safeguard the moral conduct of the players".
Udinese coach Stefano Colantuono was also among those requested to stand trial.
Colantuono, who in February said the accusation of involvement was "devastating" and that he did not understand it, is being investigated over a Serie B match when he coached Atalanta against Crotone.
The general inquiry followed alleged attempts to manipulate matches in Serie B, the Italian second division, and the third-tier Lega Pro during the 2010-11 season, with some Coppa Italia (Italian Cup) matches also involved.
Investigations have been led by police and state prosecutors from Cremona after a report from local side Cremonese uncovered the alleged scandal.
The FIGC has already conducted its own investigation and banned Conte for 10 months in 2012, later reduced to four months on appeal. Conte had previously rejected a plea bargain offering a three-month ban.
More than 50 players were banned for up to five years and a number of clubs, including Atalanta and Siena, have had points deducted by the FIGC over the case.

"The effects of the taekwondo training on children's strength-agility and body coordination levels "
Top Elif,1 Akıl Mustafa Li,1 Aydın Nur,1 Phd. Elif TOP1
- 1. Usak University, Faculty of Sport Sciences, Usak, Turkey
The present study investigated the effects of the taekwondo training given to the children on their strength-agility and body coordination levels. Participants were 42 school children who are 7 to 10 years old. They were divided into the girls' experimental (n = 9, X = 9.34±1.22 years, height = 134.44±12.77 cm, body weight = 34.16±12.04 kg, BMI [Body Mass Index] = 18.42±3.98 (kg/m2) and control (n= 8, X= 8.60±1.17 years, height = 129.12±9.52 cm, body weight = 31.01±7.85 kg, BMI = 18.29±2.31 (kg/m2) groups; and boys' experimental (n= 13, X= 9.05±0.78 years, height = 135.23±6.95 cm, body weight = 32.81±7.46 kg, BMI = 17.77±2.99 (kg/m2) and control (n= 12, X= 9.06±1.03 years, height = 132.16±9.62 cm, body weight = 29.95±7.45 kg, BMI = 16.94±2.43 (kg/m2)) groups. The experimental groups of both boys and girls took a standardised group exercise program led by the taekwondo coaches, which lasted for three times a week in 12 weeks, while control groups of both boys and girls did not take any trainig. The bilateral coordination, balance, running speed-agility and strength of sub-tests of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 (BOT-2) were employed before and after training. The results indicated that a statistically significant difference was found between strength & agility post-test values in girls. When the time interaction experimental and control groups of boys and girls were examined, a statistically significant difference was found between body coordination and strength-agility values. It was concluded that a 12-week taekwondo training given to the children in the 7-10 age group has increased the body coordination and strength-agility levels of the girls and boys.

City Spokeswoman Nicole Clegg said the fire caused approximately $100,000 of damage to the business. Occupants had to evacuate the building, but there were no injuries. Clegg said Tuesday that a cause has not been determined, but it was accidental, and that it will likely be days before one is found.

-This Yogi Tea quote really lifted my spirits earlier in the week-
Earlier today I thought that this week was a tough one for me, until I looked back and realized I had a lot of fun inspiration around me and some fantastic experiences. This week was actually pretty great:) So here are some of the things from my week that I'm excited about. Not pictured are my favorite moments; those random (and too few) occasions of peace and softness, when everything feels so simple to me. Those are the best! Have a lovely weekend!
-This magazine page is totally inspiring me to mix my love for all things bohemian with some classic pieces-
-My boyfriend and I finally saw This Is 40 this week and I think that it might be the funniest movie I've ever seen-
-During one of Kathryn Budig's classes on Yogaglo, I was thrilled I could transition from Bhujapidasana (Arm Pressure Balance) to Bakasana (Crow Pose). It was an exciting moment for me! Here is Kathryn doing a more elaborate version-
-A family friend got me this cookbook that is inspired by Ayurveda and I love it-
-I made this Red Onion, Radicchio, and Goat Cheese Pizza with a whole wheat tortilla and it was delicious-

As I filed through papers twice, sometimes thrice, weekly, I noticed that the number of fiction submissions, for the most part, dwarfed the poetry submissions. Not having any standard of comparison, I figured this was pretty much normal and, for the first few weeks, went about my paper clipping, labeling, and enveloping duties without much regard for the inconsistency. It was not until a few weeks in, however, that Professor Smith corroborated what I had not long since pushed in the back of my mind, that volume of fiction submissions, more than ever before, is beginning to surpass that of poetry. As a part of a generation that, I perceive, is not especially fond of poetry unless it is set to music, this is not an especial shock to me, but I must note, however, that such a shift does have greater implications for the character of a generation, particularly with respect to the literature it might be expected to churn out. While the literary complexion of our generation of authors is yet undiscovered, I think, with the aforementioned fiction-poetry discrepancy in mind, that we will see a few things. That fiction greatly outnumbers poetry is, I think, an effect of the proverbial helicopter parent. We have all grown up believing that we have a story to tell, and while that is not necessarily untrue, we've grown up believing that it is the only story worth being told. So, by my estimations, not only will fiction continue to outpace poetry, but fiction will continue to take a nonfiction bent, with the lead character based almost exclusively on the author's image of him- or herself, or the image of the person whom the author would like to be or to avoid becoming. Research for stories will take the form, more and more, of simple introspection. This, to me, is the great irony of literature born of the Information Age.

Reading Interruptions
I can easily separate the artist from the music. But for some reason, it is not so easy to do with authors. Have you ever stopped reading an author's books because of something he/she did in real life? Did an author's personal life antics turn you off?
Do you read in silence or with music/TV playing in the background?
How do you handle it when people interrupt your reading?
1 comment:
I quit reading Jennifer Weiner after her Internet rants about female authors v. male authors and how they're excluded from various lists. While she whines that authors like Franzen make more, are shelved more, she completely disregards authors of color. Her rants are full of white privilege and it's become a turn off for me. If she was truly in favor of equality for all authors, instead of white women, she could use her voice to promote more works by authors of color. She just seems more concerned with her place on the list.ReplyDelete

HTC's Vive headset still more virtual than reality
HTC Vive Finally Gets A Release Date: April 2016.
Earlier this year, HTC said its Vive VR headset would launch in limited quantities before the holidays, ahead of a wider consumer rollout sometime early in 2016.
In an email to Vive developers and a blog post that is now down due to traffic, HTC finally clarified when they'd be launching their long awaited virtual reality headset, Vive.If the lessons from mobile and 3D have been learned then it's almost time to buy virtual reality technology, writes TechCentral.ie Editor Niall Kitson.HTC promised it would begin selling the headset by the end of this year, but it looks like the launch has been delayed, as the company has just announced the headset won't be available to consumers until next spring.In August, gaming giant Valve, which is partnering with HTC to develop the Vive, revealed plans to offer a limited number of headsets to consumers before 2015 was out, but that didn't happen.
The company posted a statement on its blog (which is currently offline) attempting to "clear up speculation and misinformation" about the launch, confirming the delay. "We will be starting the new year by making an additional 7,000 units available to developers, followed by commercial availability in April 2016," the statement continues. Content is key to VR experiences, so it's good that HTC is taking the time to court content creators – the Vive will need some compelling content to sell its take on VR to consumers in an increasingly-crowded yet nascent market.
At a demonstration of the HTC Vive at a secret location in the city earlier this month I was treated to four immersive experiences, ranging from exploring a shipwreck on the sea bed, to preparing a bowl of soup, to taking apart a robot. The Vive features a 1,200 by 1,080 pixel screen in front of each eye, with refresh rates of 90 frames per second, capable of displaying photorealistic imagery filling a users field of vision in all directions.
Having tried all of the major virtual reality headsets that are either on the market or on the way (Gear VR, all of the Oculus prototypes, Sony's Playstation VR), I can honestly say: the Vive was the most impressive. Having already used an Oculus Rift and Google Cardboard I was used to full 360 degree, 3D navigation and had until then felt let down by blurry images. This headset uses a couple of hand controllers and a room-wide playing area to differentiate itself from the competition, and exists as a team effort between HTC (for manufacturing) and Valve (for software). The company hasn't explained the reason behind the delay, but pushing the launch date to April means that it might be late to the VR party: Oculus and Sony are set to stock shelves with their headsets early next year.
The tracking, built in collaboration with Valve, was just ridiculous — and paired up with the Vive's crazy looking controller, it gave an instant sense of immersion. Vive offers one of the more immersive VR experiences, and hopefully, HTC will be able to deliver that same experience to actual paying consumers next year. Alas, Vive is also the most cumbersome of the lot: there's a big ol' wire dangling from your head, and you have to put a few big "light house" sensors around your room to handle the tracking.
It's not clear whether HTC and Valve haven't achieved the "best experience" because they're still working on the hardware, or whether the issue is getting enough games and other entertainment content to make a full launch. Compared to the wireless functionality of Samsung's Gear VR (which uses a Samsung phone as the brains and display to keep wires out of the mix) or the plug-and-play simplicity of Playstation VR, that's gonna be a tough sell to make to all but the most VR enthused.
Either way, HTC promises more opportunities to demo the headset, including the Sundance Film Festival, SXSW, the Game Developers Conference, and Mobile World Congress. In a blog/social media post detailing the device's timeline, HTC said that it's hosting a developer conference in Beijing on December 18th and launching a second-gen dev kit before the masses can start buying the headset. But we don't know what will actually make it into buyers' living rooms later this year, or how much it'll cost — a question that every major VR headset developer has declined to answer.
At the time I argued that 3D would become the format of choice for consumers in their front rooms only if industry and content providers addressed the three Cs of content, convenience and cost. That nine of the top 10 grossing films of all time were released in 3D after 2009 and the outlier, Titanic, got a 3D run in 2012, the technology has proved itself commercially and found a natural place in the multiplexes alongside IMAX and THX sound systems. Getting 3D into the home required a killer app the cinemas couldn't replicate and that meant a shift away from scripted content to sports, which had been instrumental in pushing high definition. Adding depth didn't correspond to adding value, however, and without compelling broadcast support, streaming or rental options, your chance of watching anything in 3D at home is now limited to anyone with a compatible TV, Blu-ray player and whatever hard copies you own. Toshiba tried to bring a glasses-less 3D set to market but it had poor picture quality compared to sets using active shutter lenses and only delivered a depth effect when viewed in a specific position.
I'm adopting the same strategy I have for Apple devices: take an interest in every second generation where the feature set catches up to the rest of the market.

As Family History Month comes to a close and the holidays move closer, I thought it was a good time to reflect, once again, on family. October is also my grandmother's birthday month (Happy Birthday, Anna!). Anna represents a tremendous part of my history. We have always shared a special bond that started with me being her first granddaughter and namesake and continues with many treasured memories through the years. For this and so many reasons, this post is dedicated to my Anna.
Clearly, we value family history a lot around here, so I am loving that there is a whole month dedicated to it. There are plenty of reasons to celebrate family history and many reasons why it is important not only for children, but for people at any age. It increases self-esteem and confidence, it creates and/or strengthens familial bonds, it gives a strong foundation from which to grow–the list goes on. There are so many great tips and fun ideas on how to introduce family history to the next generation. I have even shared a few tips myself. Some are fairly straightforward and simple, while others require a bit more preparation. The reasons, the ideas, the tips–they are all out there (and very important), but I was hoping to do something different here by looking at what connections they all have.
Most importantly, they are all about spending time with loved ones. Not just any time, but real quality time focusing on each other and what you're doing together. In this electronic age, however, there is so much competition for our attention. We see it every day: people with their significant other, or child, or grandchild looking at their phone or other electronic device, while giving half-hearted answers to questions they barely heard. In fact, most of us are guilty of this from time to time; I know I am. And much of the time, it's actually both individuals or the entire family whose attention is focused on anything but each other. Trust me, I get it–we're busy and we have the world at our fingertips. It has never been easier to get distracted. But while we are, we're missing what is right in front of us. Take some time to spend with your loved ones and bring your complete self to the table when you do so. That is what family time is all about.
All of the reasons and tips also connect at the intersection of sharing and creating memories. It doesn't matter how old the memories are. Remember them, treasure them, and share them with the next generation. These are the stories that are passed down and will continue to make your family special for more years than we'll be around for. I tell my children about fun trips I took with my grandparents and how I "moved out" at the age of five (the only act of rebellion in my life!) because I needed a break from my sisters. My children think it's so funny that my grandfather came to pick me up, along with all of my toys. I remind them about how my grandmother and I would sneak Cheese-its into bed and watch the Tonight Show. These memories are part of what makes me who I am, and I want Samantha and Nicholas to know all about them. I also remind them of the things they did themselves as a baby or younger child that they may not remember–they love hearing these stories of our "recent history" too and often ask to hear them over and over again.
Finally, all of the reasons and tips involve creating new memories to share. You may wonder what creating memories has to do with "history." However, I think it's important to shift our perception of that word. We are trained to think of history as the distant past, but it is also the recent past. What happened yesterday is now history, and today will be history tomorrow. So, the things we are doing today are creating the memories of tomorrow and the things our children will share with their own children. And, I can only hope that all of their stories do not start with "My mom was running around crazy that day and . . . "
The holidays and hopefully, family time, are almost upon us. No matter which tip or idea you plan to pursue, if you remember to make sure it's real quality family time, while you share old, and create new, memories, you are honoring family history and helping your child or grandchild do the same.
When I do book signings for My Heritage Book, I always sign before you decide where to go, it's important to know where you're from! I don't remember when I started signing that way or exactly why, but isn't that what it all comes down to? Remembering where you're from, so you can decide where to go and then that others can do the same thing one day. I hope you had a very Happy Family History Month!

It's no secret that General Motors' one-time "performance" brand has lost its way in recent years, to the point where product czar Bob Lutz singled out Pontiac as one of GM's "damaged brands" in a widely-quoted speech. Now rumors are circulating that GM may revive Pontiac's performance focus by dumping FWD models in favor of an exclusively RWD lineup.
Autoweek reports that a plan may be in the works to phase out the FWD models after the next round of model revisions already in the works. Also rumored to be on the way out are any truck models, with the Torrent SUV possibly destined to receive a GMC badge. A new RWD sedan would replace the Grand Prix.
This would be a big change for Pontiac, which currently carries only two RWD models, the Solstice and the soon to be discontinued GTO. Needless to say, the RWD plans would include the new GTO already making the rounds of the rumor circuit, but it seems unlikely that a new Firebird will join the pony car revival any time soon.
Look for a forthcoming Pontiac RWD concept car as a trial balloon for the new brand strategy.

What exactly does a good nutrition plan look like?
Glad you asked, because so many people are after that quick fix, instant results, take a pill and everything will be better.
And because you clicked on this post, that means you're looking for some solid advice, and I want to do what I can to help.
(That's going to save you a TON of money AND time, so awesome decision)
One thing's for sure, the quick fix unhealthy detox madness type plans are NOT what good nutrition looks like… And it's especially not what a good plan looks like.
In this article, as well as the cheat sheet I've created for you, we will talk specifically about what a good plan looks like, and what you should master before moving on to a more individualized plan…
Because it's important to build your foundation before you start putting in the loft.
I'm sorry.
That means no paleo, low carb, ketogenic diets from day 1.
That very rarely works when you don't have a solid foundation built first.
But I don't want to get too much into the basics in this post, that's the purpose of the cheat sheet below (and a program that I will talk about later that was recently released) … Download the cheat sheet so I can help get you started, but let's first cover what good nutrition looks like now.
Good nutrition (and a good plan) need to focus on ALL three VITAL components I've listed below in order to qualify.
If your plan doesn't qualify, then simply it's not a good plan.
Keep looking.
There's one out there…. I promise.
And trust me when I say that I tried many plans that didn't fit the bill, but the sooner I stopped trying to follow "the rules" of those plans, the sooner I started to see results.
Let's start on these three important pieces.
1. Good nutrition improves your body composition.
This is an important part of the equation. Generally we all want to look good naked, so if a program doesn't make us gain muscle, lose fat, or somewhere in between, we aren't going to subscribe to it. But there are plenty of ways to do this, including some evasive techniques… And that's why we must not use this as the sole indicator and must move on to the next thing that a good nutrition must focus on.
2. Good nutrition improves your health.
Whether you're currently in the health danger zone, or you've got a clean bill of health, good nutrition means that it's improving your health. I know, I know, this throws a ton of dangerously low calorie plans out the window. Including the 3 shakes and 1 salad a day plan, or the cabbage soup diet. We still aren't done, let's add one more layer.
3. Good nutrition improves your performance.
Yup, it needs to make us better at performing. Whether that's lifting weights, cycling, cardio, whatever you want to improve. It HAS to improve your performance, and this is the one that most people are missing. This throws out even a few more nutrition plans that people have been talking about recently, including carbohydrate loading to say the least.
I didn't want to overwhelm you with the concepts we talked about in this blog post, and I hope I haven't done that. What I did want you to see, is whether the current plan you're following fits this bill.
Does it improve your body composition, health, and performance?
If it does, then you're perfectly good to go. Keep working your plan, it's solid.
If it doesn't, that's where the cheat sheet comes in to play.
Download the cheat sheet below… And if you're wondering where to find a solid plan, check out this awesome program that was just released, which I can help personalize for our crazy career.
Above all, stay safe out there team, and never hesitate to reach out to me if you have questions.
Huge shout out to my friends over at Law Enforcement Today for posting this article on their site. If you have yet to check out their blog or podcast, it's one of my personal top sites and shows to listen to!

Hello Friends, I made this frame few days back...my gifting journey is going on and I am happy to share my creativity with others! The packets are on my table ready for dispatch..I wish I could give them personally and feel that expression of happiness!
It's a small MDF frame. I coloured it with a deep magenta colour shade after a coat of gesso. Then went about to get the crackle effect. Top coat was a light baby pink shade but I did some random inking everywhere to get these dual shades of orange and pink. Edges were sponged with blue ink shade which also matched with my pattern paper.
Next did some random stamping and colouring. Created small white colour dots using gel pen. Added some gold paste to add more texture
Here is a small shaker element with handwritten sentiment and a jute twine peeking from behind. Pattern paper, sequins & twine are from Papericious. Butterfly stamp is from Itsy Bitsy and tiny flowers are from Mudra craft stamps. Die cuts are from Eno greetings.
I hope you liked it...do share your thoughts :)
Have a Great Day!!
Linking my creation to following challenges:

Hair Care Made Simple With One Of These Easy Ideas
You need to comprehend what potentially damages the hair if you want to have great hair. When you know what products and methods to utilize when taking care of your locks, you can find yourself with healthy hair that is certainly very easy to manage.
Continue reading for more information on how you can manage your hair properly.
Stay away from heavy conditioners when your hair is fine or thin. Your hair will appear weighted down, which is the opposite of what you need! For anyone with thinner hair, light hair care products leave your hair looking healthy and thick.
Will not make use of a blow dryer if you do not wish to dry your own hair out. Heat styling might be damaging to your hair, and quite often leaves it looking frizzy. Instead, leave the hair wrapped in a towel to dry it. This can be the simplest way to retain moisture, avoid frizz plus protect the feel of your hair.
Forget about the myth that frequent trims create your hair grow faster.
Regardless how much you trim, human hair grows around 1/2 inch a month. It may grow a lttle bit faster during the summer, but in the end, your hormones dictate how rapidly it grows, as an alternative to how often you see your stylist. Getting your hair trimmed inside a timely fashion keep split ends and breakage at bay, which happens to be what causes many people to incorrectly think trims affect hair regrowth.
Minimize using a blow dryer. Heat from the blow dryer can harm hair greatly, so try to dry it naturally. If you need to use a blow dryer, be sure to ensure that it stays over a cool setting. Additionally, never contain the dryer on the same spot long. Your own hair will dry faster in the event you pat it down using a towel before using your blow dryer.
Whenever your hair looks dull, it makes sense to use clarifying shampoos. Lifeless, dull hair is usually due to build-up of hair products. To prevent this, utilize a clarifying shampoo a few times weekly in order that all gunk and hair product buildup is stripped clean from the hair.
Avoid letting your blow dryer linger in a single spot a long time, and maintain it moving evenly across hair. This may lessen the potential risk of your own hair being damaged because of heat.
For soft and healthy curls, sleep on a satin pillowcase. Cotton pillowcases will absorb oil and moisture, causing dried-out hair. Satin pillowcases protect your hair causing you to get up getting the same varieties of curls when you slept. A satin scarf along with a satin bonnet may also be good things to try out.
When you swim often, wet your own hair thoroughly before entering the pool. Also, if you do not use a cap whenever you swim, try to quickly wash the hair after getting out of the pool. This prevents a lot of damage.
Know about which products can damage your own hair. Explore the solutions with this article to understand which elements are most effective with your good hair care regimen.

Recommendations for Accurate Diagnosis of HIV Infection
The NH DHHS issued a health alert on August 26, regarding HIV testing.
Key Points and Recommendations:
- HIV screening and testing technology continues to improve, which may present challenges with interpretation and reporting of results. DPHS has become aware of several recent cases in which clinicians' interpreted testing and informed patients incorrectly.
- Healthcare providers and laboratories should review and follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Recommended Laboratory HIV Testing Algorithm for Serum or Plasma Specimens and Reporting Results from the HIV Diagnostic Testing Algorithm to Persons Ordering HIV tests and Public HealthAuthorities.
- All new HIV diagnoses (including positive preliminary results) must be reported to the NH Division of Public Health Services at 1-800-852-3345 Ext. 4496 or (603) 271-4496 within 72 hours of diagnosis or suspicion of diagnosis.

Lesotho is one of only four countries in the world which are "contained" within another country. The other three countries are San Marino and Vatican City (both in Italy) and Monaco (inside France).
The population of Lesotho and Botswana is actually the same, just over 2 million people. The difference is that Botswana is the size of Texas in terms of landmass, while Lesotho is about the size of Maryland. About a quarter of the entire population lives in Maseru, but it feels as if everyone in the country lives there. Maseru is incredibly small for a capital city, with only one traffic circle and five main streets. And the streets are FULL of traffic, mostly combis (mini bus taxis) and TONS of people walking, EVERYWHERE. We drove to Lesotho and I was so thankful we made it out without getting in a car accident. We saw several and they are so common people don't think anything of them; they just ignore them and keep driving. Perhaps they don't even have car insurance there.
One of the things that was really interesting about Lesotho was their border. I've entered and exited over fifty countries and never seen a border with a drive-thru passport control. You don't even get out of your car. The driver just hands the passports of everyone in the car through the window to the woman sitting inside the office and she stamps the passports. However, what surprised me was that she only stamped the passports, she didn't scan them. In fact, there was no machine in which to scan them. If you are unsure what I am talking about, when you enter a country, the passport control officer checks the passport to make sure it is really you in the picture. Then he/she scans the passport on a special passport scanning machine. This pulls up all your personal information which stores it in the system and alerts the officer in case you are wanted by InterPol (basically the International Police) because you are a criminal or a missing person. In Lesotho they skip all steps and just stamp the passports, no questions asked. It definitely makes the process quick and painless, but then again, I can't imagine a lot of criminals going to Lesotho to hide out.
Welcome to Lesotho, "I'll take a cheeseburger, fries, a chocolate milkshake, and a passport stamp please:"

Men and women will always have their differences, but a new analysis finds that these differences extend to heart anatomy.
The "hearty" differences became apparent only after researchers studied nearly 3,000 adults for about 10 years. By the end of the study, published online today (Oct. 20) in the journal Radiology, the researchers found that male and female hearts grow differently over time.
7 Ways Your Body Betrays You
The study focused on one heart chamber, the left ventricle, which pumps oxygenated blood out of the heart into the body. As people age, the left ventricle declines in its capacity to pump blood.
But the researchers found that this decline happens differently depending on a person's sex: In men, the heart muscle around the chamber grows larger and thicker with age, while in women the muscle maintains its size or gets smaller, the researchers found. [Your Heart Health: 5 Numbers to Know]
It's unclear why these sex-based differences occur, but this "fascinating discrepancy" may help researchers determine whether gender-specific therapies are necessary for men and women who have heart problems, the researchers said.
Even A 5-Minute Run Is Good For Heart Health
"Our results are a striking demonstration of the concept that heart disease may have different pathophysiology in men and women, and of the need for tailored treatments that address such important biologic differences," senior study author Dr. João Lima, a professor of medicine and radiological science at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore and director of cardiovascular imaging at the school's Heart and Vascular Institute, said in a statement.
The study is the first long-term research using MRI scans to observe left ventricle structure and function over time, the researchers said. Other researchers have examined people's hearts using ultrasound scans, but MRI scans are more detailed, the researchers in the new study said.
The study included 2,935 adults ages 45 to 84 years. None of the participants had cardiovascular diseases when they enrolled in the study. The doctors performed an MRI scan on each participant at the beginning and end of the study.
From the scans, the doctors assessed the size and volume of the participant's left ventricle, and calculated its weight.
Over the study period, the left ventricle in men gained an average of 0.3 ounces (8 grams). In contrast, it lost an average of 0.06 ounces (1.6 grams) in women, the researchers found.
Miniature, Beating Hearts Grown Using Stem Cells
Moreover, the heart's filling capacity (the amount of blood the left ventricle can hold between heartbeats) fell in both sexes. But this was more pronounced in women, with a drop of about 0.4 fluid ounces (13 milliliters), compared to just under 0.3 fluid ounces (10 mL) in men.
These differences emerged even after the researchers controlled for body weight, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, exercise levels and smoking.
These sex-related differences suggest that "men and women may develop disease for different reasons," said lead investigator Dr. John Eng, an associate professor of radiological science at Johns Hopkins. [Don't Sit Tight: 6 Ways to Make a Deadly Activity Healthier]
3D-Printed Heart Uses Multiple Imaging Techniques
The findings may help doctors create gender-specific treatments, the researchers said. For instance, cardiologists often prescribe medications that reduce the thickness of heart muscle in people with heart failure. But this treatment might not benefit women as much as it does men, given that women's heart muscle tends to shrink or stay the same size over time, the researchers said.
The study is part of an ongoing, long-term project named the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). Researchers plan to continue following the nearly 7,000 people of different ethnic backgrounds who are enrolled, and studying factors that influence these people's heart diseases and failures, the investigators said.

The Royal Photographic Society and its supporting sponsor Siemens have just released the five prize winners in the 2015 International Images for Science competition. We'll display the winners here and then we'll show you a few of the other dazzling entries from the contest. Shown here is David Maitland's "Breathing Tree." It took the overall "Gold" category and shows the tracheal system of the caterpillar of a silk moth (
Bombyx mori
). It was created using differential interference contrast (DIC) lighting in a microscope and recorded with a digital SLR camera.
Marta Garcia's "Red and White" was tops in the "Gold 17 & Under" category. She took this macro photograph of a strawberry (
Fragaria x ananassa
) with growing mold and mildew.
The "Gold 18-25" prized was taken by Rebecca Summerfield for this micro computed tomography (micro-CT) X-ray scan of an unborn tope shark (
Galeorhinus galeus
). The view is from above down and the shark's eyes are shown in green, while digital coloring shows other anatomical details from the original monochrome scan.
The Silver prize was awarded to Stephen Gschmeissner for "Silver Plaster Nanotechnology: 2014," a scanning electron micrograph (SEM) view of a silver-treated adhesive dressing (or sticking plaster). Silver is incorporated into the dressing fibers (red), seen here behind a non-stick polypropylene mesh (grey). Silver has antibacterial properties that may help with wound healing, especially in smaller injuries. The original monochrome SEM image has been digitally colored.
The Bronze prize went to another David Maitland creation, this one "Anchors," a microscopic view of the skin of a sea cucumber. It was created using differential interference contrast (DIC) illumination and was captured on a digital SLR camera. Now let's look at a few of the contest's other entries.
Daniel Kariko's super-scary imaging of a carpet beetle could give a person nightmares.
Yan Liang captured this reaction between zinc metal and copper sulfate solution-generated copper metal.
David Maitland created another stirring shot with his "Three Wise Men." Its shows the "eyes" of Xylem vessels within the "faces" of vascular bundles in the stem of the cocoa nut palm,
Cocus comosa
Stefan Diller imaged these gen-engineered T-Cells.

Workbook of Activities for Language and Cognition
Help clients meet their goals for mid- to high-level complexity word retrieval. This book offers plenty of strategies and repetition to meet diverse client needs.
- Name items by association
- Use definitions, word parts, and rhyming to recall words
These ready-to-use activities tap into many facets of cognitive-linguistic processing that contribute to word retrieval:
- vocabulary - reasoning
- problem solving - deduction
- convergent thinking - divergent thinking
- thought flexibility - logic
- general knowledge - creativity
The activities are organized into five skill areas:
- Answering Questions—general information questions require short-answer responses
- Building Categorization Skills—name items by category and add items to a category
- Using Word Relationships—work with opposites, synonyms, and homonyms
- Using Word Strategies—variety of approaches to stimulate word retrieval: use word puzzles, chaining, letter and syllable cues, definitions, and rhymes.
- Naming and Selecting Pictures—name pictures and select pictures by the letter they begin with

- Communication, both verbal and nonverbal, is a fundamental human need. Meeting this need by facilitating and enhancing communication in any form can be vital to a patient's well-being (NSA, 2005).
- Rehabilitation is an important part of recovering from a stroke, and the goal is to regain as much independence as possible (NSA, 2005).
- Word finding is a common language deficit in individuals with aphasia. In a study by Beeson, Holland, and Murray (1995) naming category members was a successful compensatory strategy for individuals with aphasia during anomic moments.
- Advances in the study of the brain and neuroplasticity guide future ideas for aphasia rehabilitation. In order for brain restructuring to occur, some important items to consider include the need for multiple trials for learning and salience of items trained to allow for carryover of targeted materials. The items targeted in this book are highly salient to allow for transfer of targeted therapy tasks to everyday life (Holland, 2008).
WALC 8 Word Finding incorporates these principles and is also based on expert professional practice.

Because I am pure..
What do I mean?
I am pure in thought...
I am true to myself.
Do you believe that you would answer the question the same??
Most brilliant minds think this way,
I do not jest.. LOL that's why I love them.
To me to be pure is to be true to yourself.
In love with yourself, which reflects valuing yourself..
Why is this so hard for most?
Blockage, and lack of self respect or self love.
It is not something to judge but something to look in the eye.
Can you hear yourself say something out loud which inside you know,
you do not feel or believe?
That is a lack of honor in yourself,
actually it would be better if you said nothing at all
rather than lie or make yourself feel dis-ease..
Anyway be true to yourself..
It always feel good trusting, that what you say is what you mean..
