Back when I started this series, I always thought I might not keep it up because things get in the way each week and sometimes make it hard to sit down and write up a post.
Since buying a house, a lot of my time has been spent on that and the constant cleaning that comes with owning your own place – I mean really, how can two people and a cat make so much mess all the time?
I think what I'm trying to say here is though, even when life gets crazy hectic, I've always liked knowing I have these posts to look back on in the next few months/years later. It's become a sort of online diary and I'm hoping that people are enjoying reading them too.
I've also decided to use fewer images on these posts because when I look at my blog sometimes, I think there is too many, so, we'll see how long that lasts! If you're looking for visuals of anything I do in the week though, you can always have a look at my Instagram.
And after that strange little intro… here's what I was loving last week.
1. Liz Earle Cleanse And Polish
Last week I mentioned I bought a few new bits in Boots, one of them being the Liz Earle 'Cleanse and Polish'. I've heard hundreds of beauty bloggers rave about this, and it wasn't until my skin had started to look a bit dull and lifeless that I actually thought I better invest in something. The girl working at the counter talked me through why it is good for you and the benefits of using it and even after a week, I am obsessed with the product. It smells so fresh and spa-like and already my skin is starting to look a bit better – definitely worth investing in. Shop here!
2. Nails
If you rewind back about 3 weeks, you'll remember me saying that I got my nails done with shellac for the first time. I was really impressed that I had them on for over 3 weeks and only one came off (because it chipped and I pulled it away…) So on Thursday, I treated myself to another set for the wedding I am a bridesmaid at on Saturday. I got a pale pink because it was the closest colour to my dress, and I love how girly it is! It definitely makes me feel like I have my life together more when I have my nails done.
3. Shoryu
On Friday evening, I was invited to try the restaurant Shoryu in Picadilly Gardens in Manchester. I had only heard good things about this place so I was really excited to give it a go. The restaurant is quite small but intimate, and I didn't feel as though I was cramped or anything (it probably helped that we sat by the window). I'm going to do a full blog review on it soon so keep an eye out for that. Visit the website here.
4. Beer Festival
On Saturday afternoon, a group of us went to the German Beer Festival in Manchester. We got there about halfway through the afternoon session and felt quite overwhelmed when everyone was already very very drunk around us. We had a few drinks then went back in for the evening session, which turned out to be a really good decision. The DJ was hilarious and had everyone dancing on the chairs and tables. Definitely, one I'll be going back to next year.
5. Catch Up's
On Friday afternoon after work, I met up with my friend Sarah for a quick coffee in Altrincham. She has just decided to go travelling for 8 months in July so I was very intrigued (albeit, very jealous) to hear all about her plans for that. We managed to also sit outside of a cute little cafe round the corner from my office called The Little Deli Company, which I also learnt is open till 9pm and does wine and cocktails, so I'll definitely be back!
6. Overnight Oats
This seems like quite a lame thing to put on a weekly love post; however, I love talking about food and therefore thought I might as well put it in! I've gotten into the habit of having porridge for my breakfast when I'm at work, but last week I was getting bored of always having the same thing, so to mix things up (and use up the natural yoghurt that was edging closer and closer to it's sell-by date) I decided to make some overnight oats. I didn't really measure the portion properly and ended up making enough for 3 days, and it probably would have stretched to 4 if I didn't get so hungry in the morning. I used regular porridge oats and left them in yoghurt overnight (obviously…) and added in some blueberries. If you're after something a bit more substantial in the morning, I would definitely recommend!
7. One Week Countdown
On Saturday it was officially one week until two of my closest friends tie the knot. I'm already gearing myself up for a day of tears, love and dancing and I for one can't wait. It even looks like it will be the hottest day of the year so far as well!
Yaaaay I love the fact that you used to hate porridge and now you love it so much you write about it in your blog!! 😀 xxxx
Look what you've done to me! hahaha xxxx

Clinton, Douglas and Morgan counties to the state disaster declaration for widespread flooding. This brings the statewide total of declared counties to 12.
On Tuesday, Gov. Rauner declared Calhoun, Jackson, Jersey, Madison, Monroe, Randolph and St. Clair counties.
Governor Rauner will return to Springfield Thursday evening and will spend the following several days in Central and Southern Illinois viewing flood damage, thanking volunteers and ensuring communities have everything they need.
A state disaster declaration makes a wide variety of state resources available that can help communities respond and recover from flooding. Such resources include sandbag, sand, pumps, trucks and other heavy equipment and other assistance to ensure public safety.
The State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC) in Springfield was activated Monday morning to coordinate the state's flood response. The SEOC will remain open until the threat has passed.
For updates on the current situation, visit the Ready Illinois website at www.ready.illinois.gov.
Clinton County Added to State Disaster Proclamation for Flooding: Governor returning to Springfield tomorrow to tour flooded areas in coming days

Amazing Space Studio and Gallery
2338 Bowman Cres, Wells, BC
- Apparel & Accessories
- Food & Beverage
- Arts & Hand Crafts
- Cariboo-based imagery
- Award-winning artists
- Internationally-recognized
Meet Bill Horne & Claire Kujundzic
One of the things Bill and Claire most enjoy about being professional artists with a gallery of their own is the opportunity to meet people who visit the area from all over the world. They also feel fortunate to have studio and living space in the 3700 square foot heritage building that they have painstakingly renovated over two decades. "We never know who is going to walk through our doors," says Claire, "and we've made some wonderful friends." The fact that they speak Spanish, some French and Basque, and a few German words adds an international atmosphere to their gallery.
The two artists are distinctly dedicated in their creative approach. "We produce imagery about where we are and what's going on around us – art made from scratch, with integrity, spirit and wit," says Bill. "In an era of globalization when so many cultural products are imported, this is rare." They feel proud and privileged to be able to share their work and process with the public.
Bill and Claire enjoy their community's proximity to world-class outdoor recreation and its affordability, as well as its visual and performing arts assets. This combination enhances the desirability of Wells as a place to live and work.
Wellsians have repeatedly pulled together over the years when there has been a pressing need or common cause concerning a local resident or an important facility. For example, in 2002 the elementary school was set for closure until Wells residents mobilized to keep it open. This is one of the things that Bill and Claire say sets their town apart as a special place.
When their building suffered a flood in 2005, damaging the ground floor and many belongings, the couple was devastated. However, many people pitched in to help clean up and repair the destruction, and Claire and Bill will always be grateful for the love and help that they received.
Authentic. Unique. Humorous.
Award-winning and internationally-recognized artists Bill Horne and Claire Kujundzic live, produce and exhibit their art in Wells and beyond, including Spain and Hungary. Amazing Space Studio and Gallery is housed inside the former Holy Rosary Catholic Church. Both of them work in a variety of media and styles, including painting and original prints. Visitors will also find an eclectic selection of gifts including cards, fridge magnets, and hand silk screened Wells T-shirts, as well as organic espresso.
Their studio also offers professional graphic services such as logo and book design. Bill and Claire are members of Canadian Artists Representation/le front des artistes canadiens (CARFAC) and the CARFAC Copyright Collective. Bill was the 2013 recipient of the CARFAC National Visual Arts Advocacy Award; he has taught at Vancouver's Native Education Centre and Nicaragua's National School of Art. Claire was the 2002 recipient of the Today's Woman Contribution to the Arts Award, BC Interior, North & Yukon and the Best Illustration of the Year Award from Canadian Association of Labour Media in 1997. She has lived in other small BC towns including Nelson, Salmon Arm and Summerland.

Spoleto Festival in Charleston: May 30 - June 2, 2017
The Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina is widely recognized as the country's most comprehensive arts festival, and Charleston itself recently ranked for three consecutive years as Condé Nast's foremost destination in the country. To celebrate the 40th Anniversary season of this remarkable event, the Festival has announced a highly original season running the gamut of the performing arts. Once again we are able to offer a varied program of six major performances embracing the Festival's creative arts.
On our first evening, a once-only Spoleto Celebration Concert will honor the Festival's history with a program of more than one hundred musicians. This will be the most important of this year's instrumental concerts.
Following last season's sold-out run of George Gershwin's American classic, Porgy and Bess, the Festival has announced new productions of Tchaikovsky's romantic Russian opera, Eugene Onegin; and Antonio Vivaldi's seldom encountered Baroque opera, Farnace. We will enjoy Tchaikovsky's beloved work in the beautifully restored Charleston Gaillard Center, re-opened only last May, and Vivaldi's rarity will be staged in the intimate Dock Street Theatre.
Fulfilling a long-established tradition of presenting major theatre pieces, Spoleto will bring Ireland's Druid Theatre and its Tony-Award winning director Garry Hynes for a 'fresh take' on Waiting for Godot. Samuel Beckett's iconic 20th century play will be mounted in the Dock Street Theatre.
Finally, our busy schedule will be highlighted by two of the famed Dock Street Chamber Music Concerts, justifiably the most popular element of the entire Festival due to the exceptional standards of the entire series.
Founded by composer/director Gian Carlo Menotti as a counterpart to the earlier eponymous Spoleto Festival in Italy, the U.S. performances are set against the backdrop of historic Charleston and its unparalleled antebellum charm. With plenty of time to enjoy the imposing residential areas of the city itself, you will readily appreciate why Charleston is considered the finest example of l8th-century architecture and culture in America.
Accommodations for four nights at the Mills House, Charleston's center of activity during the Festival. The Mills House is ideally located on Meeting Street near the heart of the city. Because of the tasteful Southern comfort and the proximity to the Dock Street Theatre, this is everyone's first choice for a traditional stay in Charleston. During the warm late spring weather, you will enjoy the hotel's large and attractive outdoor pool area. (The Mills House completed a major renovation last year.)
Prices Per Person (Air Fare not Included)
Double Occupancy: $3,180
Single Occupancy: $3,830

Funerals may be grand or informal, for close family or for hundreds. They may be religious or non-religious – quite simply, there's no right or wrong funeral. What matters is that the service remembers and celebrates the life of the
person who has died, in a way that feels right to you. When you meet with your funeral director they will guide you every step of the way.
Will you choose burial or cremation?
This will depend on personal preference, and perhaps religion. Cremation and burial service costs vary and your funeral director will advise you.
Where will you hold the ceremony?
Again, this is a personal choice. Many families choose to hold the whole ceremony at the crematorium or cemetery, others hold a service at their place of worship followed by burial or committal at the crematorium.
Who will officiate at the funeral
While legally no one has to officiate at a funeral, most families ask someone to lead the ceremony. Funerals may be led by a minister or other religious leader, by a humanist who will conduct a non-religious ceremony, or by a civil celebrant who creates a ceremony to reflect the life of the person who has died, which may or may not include
religious elements.
What kind of ceremony will you have?
The way you celebrate the life of the person who has died is entirely personal: it will reflect their personality, beliefs and passions, the key events in their life, their family. Whether you'd like a traditional church choir, a live jazz band or a display of the person's art, your funeral director will help you arrange this. You might find our 'Planning a funeral service' leaflet useful.
Our funeral directors are here to help you, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you're unsure about what to do next, pick up the phone to your local funeral director and we'll be there for you with our years of experience and understanding.

You can hear the sounds of a rippling brook in the background, you walk into the clearing, and there He is ... patting the place next to Him as He beckons you to come ... sit with me awhile.

The decision by the state of Kentucky to file a fresh lawsuit against Full Tilt Poker is apparently based on a century-old statute that says anyone who loses money in an illegal game is entitled to recover triple the amount of their losses. But, and here's where the state of Kentucky comes in, six months after the loss has occurred, a spouse, other family member or anyone else can sue for those treble damages. Hey, remember that episode of The Simpsons where Chief Wiggum discovered an ancient statute in the town charter that the chief constable was to receive "one pig every month and two comely lasses of virtue"? Yeah, that was funny. Read more.

Last night son Mike and I stopped at a Stevens Point bait shop and bought half a dozen musky suckers. He and his boy Casey and I are heading out to a small lake in a nearby county (even son Mike won't tell Pa the name of it for fear Pa will share it on L-L) to spend a day soaking suckers, telling hunting/fishing stories that we've all heard dozens of times already) and just generally enjoying the day.
Those two will be the real fishermen. I'll be soaking a wacky-rigged plastic worm while gladly enjoying keeping the boat positioned with the trolling motor. Hopefully I'll have a picture of two to share. Especially hoping that Casey'll catch his first musky.

How to be a good neighbour in a low-rise communityBy Lucas on Aug 18, 2017
We recently posted a few tips on what not to do when you live in a condo building. Well, we can't forget about all our readers living in low-rise communities. Here are a few etiquette tips on how to be the best neighbour on your street (maybe not the best, but at least good).
1) Introduce yourself
If you've just moved into a new home, then don't hesitate when it comes to introducing yourself to your neighbours. If there are only a few homes on your street, consider getting everyone a small gift to break the ice. Just think about any time you've lived on a street and someone new moved in; you're curious about who they are, where they're from, and what they do.
2) Obey parking laws
Don't be the owner of that car that ruins the driving and living experience for everyone on the street. There are laws in place for a reason. If you aren't supposed to be parked on the street between a certain time period, then don't do it! The one time you do it, it will be garbage pick-up day, and they'll skip your home because your car was blocking the truck. Then you're the only house with a bunch of trash in front of it. Don't let it happen to you.
3) Keep noise levels down
You should always party responsibly and respect the peace and quiet that your neighbours deserve in the privacy of their homes. Nothing you do on your property should ever affect any of your neighbours while they are on their property. Noise travels easily, so always be conscious of volume levels.
4) Respect privacy
Speaking of privacy, don't be a nosey neighbour. Keep your head on your side of the fence. Nothing is more annoying (or creepy) than seeing a pair of eyes poking over the backyard fence, completely violating unspoken privacy rules between neighbours. In addition to keeping your eyes to yourself, don't wander onto people's property either. It's a shame that this point even needs to be made!
5) Be aware of shared walls
If you live in a townhome or plan on purchasing a new one, then you should be aware of shared walls. If you play an instrument, maybe avoid making your music room one that has a shared wall. Also, avoid hammering, drilling, or other general construction in the evening. New townhomes are pretty soundproof these days, but you should still be respectful of the shared part of the structure.
6) Keep property in tiptop shape
Everyone needs to look at everyone else's property, so if you want your surroundings to be beautiful, you also need to make sure your curb appeal is up to par. Plus, you paid a pretty penny for that lot, so it should be your pride and joy. If you live in a low-rise condo community, there's a chance your landscaping is taken care of...so we're happy for you!
We hope these tips help you be a good neighbour! If you feel like being a bad neighbour, you can passive aggressively share this post with another bad neighbour on your street.

If you've ever tinkered in the Visual Report Builder - and we're sure you have by now - you're probably familiar with the global Time Range and Interval settings. These allow you to analyze the data in your report for a specific time period.
However, for some analyses, you may need to consider different Time Ranges or Time Intervals in the same report. That's where Time Options come in. To give you a better idea of how to use Time Options in your reports, we'll go over a few use cases:
Let's get started. If you want to follow along with some of the sample reports we'll build in this article, open the Visual Report Builder before continuing.
Some metrics simply cannot trend over time because the data isn't collected or stored with an associated timestamp. For example, an inventory table will often contain only one row for each SKU. In that case, you should create the metric without specifying a timestamp.
When using such a metric in your reporting, you'll notice that adding this metric to a report automatically sets an independent Time Interval of None and Time Range of Global:
Time Options allow you to create time-based '100% charts' to identify which day, week, month, or year contributed the most value during a specific time range. In this section, we'll create a chart that shows you the percent of revenue generated in each calendar month of a year.
This type of report can be useful if you want to compare revenue generated year-over-year. For example, if a chart for 2015 revealed that January contributed 18% of revenue for the year and one for 2016 showed only 8%, you could start researching what might have happened.
Now we can see just how impactful each month was last year:
The two most common examples in this category are (1) comparing growth metrics (revenue year-over-year, month-over-month, etc.) and (2) better understanding recent inventory or item sales trends.
To demonstrate this use case, we'll look at the daily revenue for the previous month compared to the same month from the previous year. Let's say we want to look at the revenue for each day of January 2016 and then compare that to January 2015, January 2014, and so on – this report would show us that.
Another common use of custom Time Options is to determine weeks of supply. Especially during the holiday season or a special promotional period, you may want to consider items sold over the last week, month, and previous promotional period to make informed purchasing decisions.
Remember to set the time ranges to what you need when building this report yourself. That being said, let's dive in:
So, what can we take away from this example? It appears that current inventory levels were well-situated for a product-wide 14-day sale. However, adding a comparable promotional period suggests that the company needs to make some changes – either by ordering more inventory and only promoting the items with enough units in stock.
Your customers behave differently over time, so you should expect to see variances in data when performing analyses. Setting custom Time Options enables you to quickly create complex analyses, enabling data-driven decisions that factor in historical trends.

Beyond Sport is recruiting a Communications Manager to join the Beyond Sport team primarily based in London. A massive part of them set requirements in sports such as weightlifting, rhythmic gymnastics, sports gymnastics, volleyball, athletics, martial arts, boxing, wrestling, sport shooting and several much more. Achievement motivation has so several descriptives an athlete, exerciser, sports psychologist or coach could very easily come up with. Most individuals who have effectively turn out to be sports broadcasters out of broadcasting schools, have been able to answer those queries ahead of they started. Although conservatives opposed women's sport and girls' physical education, as the wearing of sportswear in public violated the Islamic dress code, women from non-devout upper and middle class backgrounds became increasingly involved in a diverse variety of sports (Chehabi 2002).
Each Created to Move and the HCM have attracted a fantastic deal of focus – from politicians, the media, sports administrators, teachers, coaches and parents – and the most frequently asked questions look to relate to one particular subject: education. Quite a few studies report that a lot of kids are put off participating in sports by an over-emphasis on winning, and this impact is especially powerful with girls. Fans argue that the sport encourages physical fitness and discipline, as well as supplying a way for young men and women way to get rid of themselves from poverty. Many skilled and college sports teams use American Indian names, images and symbols. No matter what sport you are a fan of, you can use it to give you a sense of fulfillment and an escape from your daily difficulties. These are but a bit of my favorite moments from sports in 2016, and there are actually hundreds far more.
Most importantly, sports broadcasting apprenticeships allow you to create your network from day one. As the initial sports journals started to seem about 1900, the public became far more and a lot more interested in the sports image, which usually would contain photos of players on the tennis green, golfling or on the hunt for wild game. Also, when you look their curriculums over, you'll notice they generally only devote a single chapter to sports broadcasting.
It really is a double edged sword – many of these kids burn out just before reaching some of the very best athletic days of their life, and these injuries or burnout or overzealous coaching/parenting lead them away from sports in basic and from extended-term physical activity, which is never great for overall health, properly-being, and social elements of their life.
Evaluate surfing, snowboarding or skateboarding as a sport for either participants or viewers. This is why playing a number of sports and obtaining involved in youth fitness/exploration programs are so crucial. Return to sport outcomes for femoro acetabular impingement (FAI) is reasonably under researched as compared to that of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction or shoulder instability. As a result, Haring and colleagues completed a retrospective study to assess the incidence of ocular injuries in the United States as a outcome of participation in sports and determine any related danger elements. The Beyond Sport Summit is the largest global occasion convening the world of sport for optimistic social change. Sports broadcasting apprenticeships are like taking a plane to your destination.

Nonine Recordings 2010
06 Tracks. 41mins45secs
Set at the confines of modern classical, electro-acoustic, Musique Concrète and ambient electronica, Slowcream is a strange beast. The solo project of Me Raabenstein, who also heads Nonine Recordings, Slowcream first appeared in 2008 with Live Long And Prosper, an album which largely relied on electronic textures. It is however with his third album, And, published at the end of 2009 that Raabenstein finally gained the recognition he deserved. Originally a commission for a modern dance project, the record, on which Greg Haines contributed cello on a handful of tracks, established a very textural sound, at times comparable to some of the Miasmah's catalogue.

More info about retailers:
IKEA Group has promoted Jesper Brodin, a 22-year veteran of the Sweden-based furniture retailer, to CEO, effective Sept. 1. Brodin succeeds Peter Agnefjall and will continue the company's focus on growing its online efforts, said IKEA Chairman Lars-Johan Jarnheimer.Bloomberg
Macy's has expanded a self-serve model in its shoe department to three Chicago stores and it expects to roll out the change to all stores by July. Associates will still be on hand to help shoe shoppers, but the new setup gives customers the option of bypassing help, and early tests in select markets led to higher shoe sales, Chief Financial Officer Karen Hoguet said.
In Nebraska Malls are still thriving look at the end of this short article:
Locally, Nebraska Crossing Outlets in Gretna has been fully leased since its opening three years ago, developer Rod Yates said. The outlet mall also is wrapping up an expansion that will house an Ulta store and an H&M, to open in August. Yates attributes the center's success to its mix of tenants, many of whom are new to the market, and a technology platform that allows the mall to collect data on its customers and where they shop. Collect data is the term, know your customer!

What new retail benchmarks say about the way we shop now
Consumers have been quick to make new technology a part of their lives and expect retailers to do the same. NRF's Jessica Hibbard looks at the latest NRF-FitForCommerce Omnichannel Retail Index to see how retailers are adding features that make it easier for shoppers to discover products, get what they want and collect rewards for coming back again.
The NRF-FitForCommerce Omnichannel Retail Index tracks retailer implementation of 200 digital and multichannel features — those deceivingly small considerations that make an outsized difference on the shopping experience — and found a double-digit increase in adoption rates on several types of initiatives. From the first study conducted in August 2015 to the most recent analysis in October 2016, online and multichannel retailers have been adding features that make it easier for shoppers to discover products, get what they want and collect rewards for coming back again.
Generation Z??
Mathews also dissects Uniquely Gen Z, an extensive NRF/IBM research study about the youngest generation of consumers. The rise of social media and evolving technologies has ushered in rapid change, and the upheaval will continue as Generation Z gains even more spending power.
"They're impatient," Mathews says, speaking about the differences between Gen Z and older generations. "They want things now." Listen to this episode of Retail Gets Real to learn how retailers can better meet Gen Z's needs and earn their trust early in their careers as consumers
It is through technology at all levels that retailers and business in general will grow and thrive. Another such example of ways to get those customers to buy faster and direct them in a store are products by COOL-ADStm:
Energize your P.O.P. advertising and increase sales with sensory messaging.Bring your P.O.P. advertising out of the dark ages with beautiful backlit graphics.
Command your shoppers' attention and drive sales higher with sensory messaging. Backlit LEDs are incorporated into a design structure that diffuses light across the entire panel. Create whatever messages/designs you want. They print easily on inexpensive transparent sheets and can be installed within seconds. A motion detector module controls the automatic on/off and sleep functions. Battery powered using 8 AA batteries located in an easily accessible compartment. This captures attention in a store and gets a shopper to the product faster! Once again, a retailer can assist their shopper and make them happy thus hopefully bringing them back again and again.

The mass rejection of research papers by selective journals in a bid to achieve a high impact factor is an enormous waste of academics' time, advocates of open access publishing have argued.
One analysis found that there is almost no correlation between a journal's impact factor – a controversial measure of the number of citations a title receives that can end up influencing hiring and firing decisions on individual academics – and the proportion of papers it rejects.
Pascal Rocha da Silva, a process strategy manager at Frontiers, an open access publisher, plotted the impact factors of 570 journals against their rejection rates, only to find that there was "absolutely no correlation" between the two.
Some journals that rejected more than nine out of 10 papers had impact factors well below average, while others that accepted the majority of submissions had some of the best scores.
"One of the strongest beliefs in scholarly publishing is that journals seeking a high impact factor should be highly selective, accepting only papers predicted to become highly significant and novel, and hence likely to attract a large number of citations," he wrote.
"Most of the 20,000 or so journals in the scholarly publishing world follow their example," Mr Rocha da Silva wrote. However, "there is absolutely no correlation between rejection rates and impact factor", he concluded in a commentary.
A small cluster of journals with the very highest impact factors were found to have rejection rates of more than 90 per cent. However, a "vast number of high quality papers are being sacrificed to engineer high impact factors, yet the strategy fails for the vast majority of journals", he argued.
Frontiers finds that a rejection rate of up to 30 per cent is justifiable, to "ensure only sound research is published", Mr Rocha da Silva wrote.
His analysis was taken further by Jon Tennant, the communications director of ScienceOpen, another open access platform. "Importantly for researchers, there appears to be a range of journals with impact factors between 5 and 10 (i.e., moderate) that have extremely low rejection rates," he wrote.
"You might as well shoot for a journal which is 10 times more likely to accept your work [as] a highly selective one with an equal impact factor," Mr Tennant wrote on his blog.
The fact that academics still submit their papers to journals with high impact factors could be due to a "lack of awareness in some cases", he told Times Higher Education.
He said it was "infuriating" how much time was wasted submitting papers only for them to be rejected.
However, his analysis of the data found that for more selective journals with rejection rates of over 60 per cent, more rejections did weakly correlate with a better impact factor.
In addition to the ongoing debate about how journals achieve a good impact factor, the measure itself has come in for increasing criticism in recent years.
In 2013, organisations including the Wellcome Trust and the Higher Education Funding Council for England signed up to the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment, which calls for journal impact factors to be scrapped as a basis for funding, appointment and promotion decisions.
Last year, a paper in Research Policy argued that trickery by journal editors to boost their impact factor meant that the measure had lost "most of its credibility".

Source: http://www.texasstandard.org/stories/how-the-japanese-americans-who-saved-world-war-iis-lost-battalion-became-honorary-texans/
Members of the highly-decorated Nisei regiment received many of their military honors late in life.
I was looking at a list of honorary Texans recently. It is quite a long list. Only about a tenth of them would be known to most Texans. John Wayne – no surprise there. The only surprise is that it took until 2015 to make him one. Chuck Norris, born in Oklahoma, was made an honorary Texan a few months ago.
Gov. Rick Perry made many of his favorite political allies honorary Texans: Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, and Glenn Beck, for example. George W. Bush made Bob Dylan an honorary Texan. Ann Richards chose Don McLean, Bob Hope, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, among many others. Alan Shivers made General Douglas MacArthur an honorary Texan.
The one case that stands out to me as the most astounding in this honoring business – and to my mind, the most deserving – is when Gov. John Connally, in 1962, awarded honorary Texan status to thousands of men simultaneously. He made the entire 442nd Regimental Combat Team and the 100th Battalion, C divisions of the U.S. Army for World War II, honorary Texans. As this year's Veteran's Day is fast approaching, I thought I would tell you how this came to be.
We must begin our story with the 1st Battalion of the 141st Regiment comprised of the Texas National Guard. Their nickname was the "Alamo Regiment." In 1944, they were at the lead of a push to drive the Germans out of France. The battalion had a large supporting force during their campaign but they pushed ahead so fast in the Vosges Mountains that they found themselves cut off and surrounded behind enemy lines.
They became known in World War II lore as "The Lost Battalion." The only good thing for the Texans is that they were on top of a mountain and so they had the classic advantage of high ground and line of sight. But they were still pounded by German artillery. It was foggy, rainy and very cold. They quickly dug fighting positions in the wet, muddy soil and covered themselves with tree limbs, rock and dirt. They did everything they could to provide cover from the splinters of tree bursts and shrapnel from exploding shells. They were also out of food and water. Exceptionally courageous pilots were able to fly through the rain and fog and airdrop small supplies of water purification pills, c-rations and ammunition to sustain them.

Lightning P-38 XT 30th AnniversaryPosted on August 13, 2013 by Bryan Ball
Lightning P-38 XT 30th Anniversary
By BRYAN J. BALL
Managing Editor
In a world where most thoughts are transmitted in 140 characters or less and world-shattering news stories are supplanted and forgotten about in the span of 24 hours, the word "icon" gets thrown around a lot more often than it should. Justin Bieber is not an icon. He's been around for about five minutes and has most likely crashed two cars and punched a paparazzo during the writing of this sentence. Coca-Cola is an icon. Grand Central Station is an icon. I'd also argue that, in our little recumbent universe, the Lightning P-38 is an icon.
No other recumbent other than the Easy Racers Tour Easy has had the sort of longevity at or near the top of recumbent food chain that the P-38 has. 2013 marks its 30th year in production and while it may not be the fastest thing on the road anymore like it was in 1983, it's still a massive favorite amongst recumbent connoisseurs the world over. And not only is it a legend in its standard form, it's also the basis of the almost-equally renown Lightning F-40 streamliner.
One of the things that has made the P-38 resonate so much with the recumbent-buying public over the years is it's unique design. There are a few recumbents that are partially triangulated but none go to the extreme that the P-38 does. Its full space-frame design is distinctive, light and strong. It also gives the bike a unique road feel that only the P-38 really provides. Unfortunately, it is also exceedingly labor intensive. Hence, one of the reasons that no one else does it.
Before we go to far in this "review," I'll come right out and say that it's not going to be your standard review. We've reviewed various versions of the P-38 many times over the years and most of that ground has been covered. Yes, this new 2013 P-38 XT does have disc brakes which are a major upgrade, but by and large, it's pretty similar to the last couple of P-38's I've reviewed. I'll also admit that my experience level with the P-38 is much higher than it is on most bikes and trikes I review. I've owned four of them over the years and have sold dozens more when I used to work at a shop that was briefly known as "the" place to buy a Lightning. So yes… I'm a bit of a fan of the design. I don't usually just throw that out there in a review, but what the hell? It's the P-38's birthday!
I don't mean to sound like Lightning has let the design totally stagnate over the last 30 years. That's not true at all. The overall look and feel has remained the same but the frame has been beefed up over the decades, the seat has been improved, the quality of the paint and overall build has gotten better. There are also now a plethora of choices as far as components and equipment.
The P-38 has a reputation as a great climber. Part of that is because of the riding position. The upright seat and fairly high bottom bracket give the bike a very "closed" position and allow the rider to generate a lot of power. Unfortunately it can also leave some people feeling a bit cramped. This is especially true of those with fairly ample abdomens. However, if it fits you, it's a very comfortable place to spend the day.
Lightning's seat has always been one of the most comfortable in the industry. Recently, the company made a few small tweaks to the design to make it even better. The seat pad was changed to make the ride a bit more forgiving and to stop the rider from sliding forward. The mesh has also been improved and mounts up a bit tighter than it has in previous years. I used to always change out the seat pad for a Thermarest and replace the seat strings with heavy duty zip ties to overcome previous deficiencies, but I didn't need to do that on this bike.
Another part I usually upgraded immediately on the P-38 was the idlers. Again, this 2013 bike needed no such treatment. In fact, it's one of the quietest recumbents I've ridden in quite awhile.
The ride of the P-38 is firm but not harsh. The triangulated frame makes it feel more like a steel road bike than any other steel recumbent you'll ever ride. It also gives that "steel is real" feel when you stomp on the pedals and lay the power down. It feels efficient but lively and not nearly as "dead" as some monotube frames feel.
Back in the day, a lot of people used to say that the P-38 was "twitchy" and had tricky handling at low speed. I don't hear those complaints as often anymore, but I still firmly maintain that the handling is "direct" and not twitchy. It definitely feels different than most other SWB's but if it's what you're into, it's one of the best handling recumbents ever built.
For a 30 year old, the P-38 is still one amazingly fast bike. No, it isn't as fast as something like a carbon highracer on level ground but it is surprisingly close on the climbs. I'm sure that part of this is me being very acclimated to the riding position, but the ole 38 ain't no slouch, either.
One of the issues I've always had with the P-38 was braking. The road caliper versions usually performed as expected, but the v-brake bikes were always a bit underwhelming. The thin fork looks great, but seemed to flex a bit under very hard braking and this reduced the stopping power. For 2013, Lightning now offers Avid BB-7 disc brakes on the XT model and fully faired F-40 version. These are a very welcome addition. The disc brake P-38 XT stops on the proverbial dime.
Well… enough of the love letter stuff. The P-38 has always had and still does have a few flaws. First is the aforementioned love-it-or-hate-it seating position. I'm also often be a bit disappointed with something or other in the component selection that Lightning makes. This time around it was the mis-matched rims. Both were Sun CR-18's but the front had an unneeded machined braking surface while the rear didn't. Often the front and rear tires don't match or there's a small paint flaw. The stickers scratch off pretty easily and I'd prefer a more modern look to them. These are small little niggles but they are a bit frustrating on a nearly $4000 bike.
Which brings us to the bike's final flaw. It's become quite pricey over the years. This is in no small part due to the very labor-intensive frame design and the relatively small volume of Lightning production but it is still a bit of a sticker shock.
However, while this may be the most expensive P-38 I've ridden but I have to admit that it's also the best. This new XT components spec with full Shimano XT 30-speed gearing and disc brakes is a very versatile bike. It's fast enough to keep up with almost anything but is still capable of loaded touring and commuting. It weighed a pretty scant 25 pounds and is also the most refined and most well finished P-38 I've been on.
Hopefully, I've learned my lesson and will hold onto this one. I always tell people who test ride a P-38 and like it the first time they ride it, to just go ahead and buy one. There's never been anything like it and I highly doubt that there ever will be again. Here's to another 30 years!
Highs – Fast climber, great feel, great handling, living legend
Lows – Love-it-or-hate-it riding position, Some minor component quibbles
MSRP – $3900 as tested

New Bike
So I decided to yesterday that I was spending too much money on riding the bus to and from school and that I would be doing myself and my wallet a favor and just buy a new bike. So after church I went to Wal-Mart and met "Chuck." Chuck got no clue on what he was talking about involving bikes. This was kind of scary because the things he was saying would or should have turned me away from buying anything that was assembled by Wal-Mart. But since, I have a tough next 3 weeks ahead, I knew that I had to get the bike. IT TOOK FOREVER. I thought that Chuck was building me a new bike. Well an hour and $100 later, I got home with my new bike and actually rode it to rehearsal. It was nice being back on a bike after 4 months but MAN I am not in the same shape I was in before. I guess it is time to hit the gym again. But that will have to wait till March 10th.

Boxing is a challenging sport requiring aerobic fitness, endurance, strength and power in equal measure. Boxers train hard to develop the necessary physical attributes to be successful in the ring. One area of a boxer's body that is especially important is the abdomen.
About the Abdominal Muscles
The term "abs" is often used as an abbreviation for rectus abdominus, which is the muscle that runs up the front of your stomach. Abs is also the term used to describe the muscles of the midsection, commonly referred to as your core. Along with your rectus abdominus muscles, your core consists of your oblique or waist muscles, the erector spinea muscles of your lower back and your transverse abdominus, which is the natural "girdle" that compresses your abdominal cavity contents. As significant as your rectus abdominus is, these other muscles are equally important in boxing.
Strong Abs for Protection
As a boxer, you need strong abs for two main reasons, one of which is protection. Strong abs provide a barrier between your internal organs and the powerful body blows your opponent lands during a bout. Weak abs mean that body blows will be more painful and are more likely to result in you getting winded and possibly losing the bout. Strengthen your abs to protect yourself from body blows' effects.
Strong Abs for Performance
The second reason you need strong abs for boxing is performance. Most movements in boxing are initiated by your abdominal muscles. Ducking, dodging and especially punching require a strong midsection. Your core is the link between your arms and legs, and any weakness in this area will result in lost power and energy. Stronger abs will transfer to all aspects of your boxing.
Ab Training Exercises
Perform a variety of exercises for your midsection to ensure your abs are up to the demands boxing places on them. Select exercises that work your abdominals from all angles so that you develop all-around core strength. Performing variations of crunches, side bends, leg raises, planks, cable twists and back extensions will ensure your midsection is strong from all directions. Variety is key for successful boxing ab training.
Developing Stronger Abs
Developing strength requires that you place a significant overload on your muscles---and your abdominals are no different. Although many ab exercises use body weight for resistance, you will probably find that over time you will need to use equipment such as medicine balls and cables to continually strengthen your core. High reps, 20 or more, are effective for developing muscular endurance, but punching harder, ducking quicker and absorbing big body blows is more reliant on muscular strength. To develop your abs for boxing, try to perform exercises that keep your reps below 12 per set to focus more on strength and less on endurance.

Sonny Barger Sues TV Producer & HBO
LOS ANGELES (CN) – Sonny Barger, a founder of the Oakland branch of the Hells Angels, claims producer Michael Tolkin and Home Box Office cheated him of his rights to a TV pilot called "1%," which is based on a book in Barger's "fiction franchise" about a motorcycle club.
Barger claims Twentieth Century Fox optioned his 2000 autobiography, "Hell's Angel: The Life and Times of Sonny Barger and the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club," and hired Tolkin to write a screenplay of it in 2003.
In his federal complaint, Barger claims he and his corporation, Sonny Barger Productions, have developed "a fiction franchise" and have produced three books in a series about a fictional motorcycle club and a hero, Patch Kinkade.
Tolkin allegedly began a screenplay based on the first book in the series, "Dead in 5 Heartbeats," and delivered the first 45 pages of it to Barger in 2006. He claims that he and Tolkin pitched the project to HBO, which rejected it, then eventually accepted, or expressed interest in the "1%" project, which HBO now claims is wholly Tolkin's work.
Barger also says he objects to many elements in the screenplay, which he feels is based too closely upon his life. He says that Tolkin and HBO published casting notices and promo material in the April 11 issue of "Variety," and stated there "that Sonny Barger has been cast in the '1%' program."
Barger demands damages for copyright and trademark infringements, unjust enrichment and other charges. He is represented by Fritz Clapp of Kihei, Maui.

Dry needling caught my attention at a physical therapy conference four years ago. I was in a packed banquet room, squeezed in between my colleagues, eyes wide, as the speaker explained a then mysterious treatment: dry needling. Dry needling is a treatment in which a very thin needle (so thin it waves in the wind, needle phobs) is inserted into the skin and underlying tissue with the goal of changing pain patterns or relaxing contracted muscles. The side effects are minimal and the treatment can be done in the physical therapy setting.
A minimally invasive treatment that quickly treats chronic musculoskeletal issues, has negligible side effects, and is accessible to almost everyone? Dry needling sounded too good to be true. To end the discussion, the speaker noted "more research needs to be done on dry needling before we can deem this an effective treatment." Well great, it was too good to be true.
Fast forward to 2015. I have my certification in dry needling and the mysterious treatment is no longer mysterious. A Google search will provide numerous dry needling research articles, health posts, and even its own Wikipedia page. Even as I wrote this post, four new research articles regarding dry needling were published. Healthcare providers, professional athletes, chronic pain sufferers, and even my 87 year-old grandma are talking about dry needling. I'll spare you a conversation with my grandma (she is adorable, but would talk your ear off about her sugar cookie recipe) and sum up the five most important facts about dry needling:
1. Dry needling is being used by physical therapists to treat a multitude of dysfunctions, in a variety of ways: Physical therapists may use dry needling to target a deep muscle in the hip to take pressure off of the sciatic nerve. In another instance, dry needling can be applied to the small, superficial muscles on the back of the neck to relieve chronic headaches. For an athlete, dry needling can be used to treat an ankle sprain and get them back on the field. From chronic headaches, to jaw pain, back pain, tendonitis, fibromyalgia, acute injuries, and even post-surgery, dry needling is another treatment in the physical therapist's toolbox. Dry needling can complement a traditional physical therapy session and is covered by almost all insurance plans.
2. Dry needling is not acupuncture: A dry needling treatment by a physical therapist involves insertion of a solid filiform needle into the skin and underlying tissues. An acupuncture treatment by an acupuncturist involves insertion of a solid filiform needle into the skin and underlying tissues. Yes, you read correctly. Same tool, different practitioners, however the placement of the needles and the reasoning behind where they go is vastly different. An acupuncturist would place needles in the body based on ancient Chinese medicine meridians with the goal of restoring Qi (the universal life energy) flow, while a physical therapist places needles based on modern medicine, anatomy, and biomechanical dysfunctions.
3. Dry needling is an effective treatment: The exact mechanism as to how dry needling works is still under investigation. Without going into too much detail, current theories suggest that the insertion of a needle into tissue causes a micro injury. This micro injury triggers a response in the body to release feel good and healing chemicals, send them to the brain and the injured area, and promote healing. For an acute injury this could mean a faster healing time, while for a chronic injury, this means FINALLY healing!
There is a growing body of evidence to support the use of dry needling in the physical therapy setting. According to a recent report released by the Federation of State Boards of Physical Therapy, high level evidence suggests that "dry needling helps reduce local and peripheral pain, thereby hastening the restoration of muscle function and range of motion. Dry needling (alone or with other physical therapy interventions) has been shown to be an effective treatment for neuromusculoskeletal diseases or condition, including arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and chronic pain."
4. Dry needling is safe: In Ohio, dry needling can be performed by a licensed physical therapist who has also obtained a certificate in dry needling from a continuing education course or series of courses. The continuing education courses specifically train a physical therapist how to avoid an adverse effect from dry needling and what to do in the rare occurrence that it does happen. The risks of dry needling (in order of increasing scariness) can include soreness, bruising, bleeding, infection, and lung puncture. The adverse effects are nothing to take lightly, however they are very low in occurrence (about .05% according to a 2014 study).
5. Dry needling is not for everyone: In addition to traditional physical therapy, dry needling can be utilized for several different diagnoses and dysfunctions. However, it may not be the best treatment for you. If you have varicose veins, an open wound, lymphedema, already have an infection, or have a condition which compromises your immunity, dry needling may not be for you. If you have a severe phobia or aversion to needles you probably didn't even read this far into the post, and if you did, you may not feel the fear anymore!

One of the most famous intersections in Indianapolis is about to receive a new look.
The town of Speedway was set to break ground Monday on a two-lane roundabout to replace the current stoplight-controlled intersection at West 16th and Main streets, and Crawfordsville Road outside the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. When the project is complete, Georgetown Road no longer will intersect with 16th Street.
The town says the new roundabout will result in fewer vehicle stops and accidents, fewer delays during peak travel times, and reduced air and noise pollution.
The project is due to be completed by November. The estimated $15 million cost is 80-percent federally funded.

Abbey Tavern
Denver, CO 80220
- Sunday through Thursday 11 a.m. to midnight; Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 2 a.m.
"An Irish pub, to me, is a form of inviting hospitality and warmth, very welcoming," says Eastwood. And the Abbey is welcoming indeed, with eager servers, an excellent weekday happy hour and an atmosphere that attracts families, young groups, older couples and singles alike. They all order from a menu that features a predictable roster of Irish standards and American bar fare, with some dishes -- like the Abbey rolls that fry up corned beef, sauerkraut and Swiss in an egg-roll wrapper; that are a combo of both. While most of the food is unlikely to win any awards, the place itself has very winning ways.

Recent results from her lab support the model.
David Tirrell, the Ross McCollum-William H. Corcoran Professor and professor of chemistry and chemical engineering at Caltech, has been appointed director of the Beckman Institute.
A team of researchers at Caltech has devised a new method for making complex molecules. The reaction they have come up with could open up new avenues for the development of novel pharmaceuticals and natural products from chemotherapeutic compounds to bioactive plant materials such as morphine.
