As you begin your efforts to lose weight you must realize that any successful weight loss effort is a continuing tour. It is not something that can be accomplished overnight or in a short amount of time if long lasting result are expected. Below are five stages that should be a plart of any journey to lose weight.
Dieting is very hard and requires dedication and discipline it is very easy to lose motivation after only a few week as you may not be seeing the results you expected and this is when negativity and doubt can creep in. The first phase is time spent in indecision until you create that final commitment to get started losing weight.
It becomes very easy to lose focus and forget what makes you special. You know that you want to lose weight however you never seem to get started. You need to remind yourself everyday fall in love with yourself. Sometimes you spend way too much time thinking about starting tomorrow and tomorrow never comes.
If you remain positive you will achieve all the aims you have set out and get the body you deserve. Make a decision and a commitment to create changes in your lifestyle that will change your life and get started today. A crucial element for successful weight loss Recognise any negative attitude and mental patterns.
After you have made the commitment to your Some Full Fat Loss Journeys they next phase is the planning stage as you make plans to successfully lose the weight. You must deal with these before you will progress with your weight loss. There is such a variety of programs to lose weight available on the market today as well as several options for physical activity.
Let these negative thoughts go an dreplace them with positive thoughts and focus on what you really want. Although there is wide variety of weight loss programs available most of the plans require a very rigid plan of eating while restricting several of the foods that you enjoy. The mind is a powerful tool in influencing behavior whether we persevere with an endeavor or whether we quit all comes from the mind.
By allowing negativity to seep in we limit ourselves and we will never know what we are really capable of . Most all of these major programs to lose weight will result in a weight loss if the rigid plans are strictly followed. By staying positive we can reach our full potential this is especialy prevalent when we are dieting to lose weight. Be sure to consider how long you can continue to abide by such rigid eating plans and fitness routines depending on the plan that you choose.
Positivity will give us drive to reachour weight loss aims by conquering the limitations we put on ourselves. When dieting many people reach their desired weight. Some studies have concluded that our bodies maintain the weight that our minds have become content with. But ultimately success is measured by maintaining the loss of weight. Therefore in theory by seeing yourself as a overweight person your body will discover a way of accumulating weight.
Instead of totally denying yourself of the foods that you enjoy you learn to be in control rather than allowing the foods to control you. This weight gain can be harder to remove unless you remove the negative thoughts from your mind and replace them with positive affirmations. You must learn to control your portions and apply other healthy eating principles.
If the mind can conceive it the body has to discover a way to achieve it. Weighht loss is still possible without any physical activity although it should be an integral part of your weight loss program. Picturing yourself when you have met your weight loss targets or on the beachin your new bikini will push you through Visualizing the reqards of weight loss will set in motion a rush of good feelings and you won't get discouraged.
Once you have made the decision to begin losing weight and you have decided on a plan of action the third phase is to get started. At the end weight loss is about health feeling good as well as looking it. The first few weeks are the most difficult therefore it is important to remain true to your commitment amidst that time.
You must love the skin you are in right now even if you are not at your desierd weight or dress size. This phase will be filled with several successes and hopefully only a few failures. If you have a setback don't let that get you down. The most overlooked however important aspect of the Some Full Fat Loss Journeys is maintaining the weight loss which is the final phase.
But they do not realize the significance of continuing on this journey in order to maintain long lasting results. It is important to realize the significance of this phase and make plans in advance to continue persevering in order to maintain your weight loss. Others give up before their desired weight is ever lost because they can no longer abide by such stringent limits on their eating.

Officially three quarters of the way through the year, and it's that time of month for my resolution check in. As I review these I am not connecting with most of these as much as I was at the beginning of the year. I don't know if it is because September seemed to fly by, or because what seemed important at the beginning at the year just isn't anymore. How time changes things.
But either way, here is an update on how everything stands.
to train for a marathon: As most of you know, this didn't happen this year, due to an injury, but I plan to complete one in 2017 with my eye on the Wineglass Marathon or Empire State Marathon- Has anyone run either on of those? I have those in mind because they are close by and they are in the fall. Plus I want to run a bigger race, and risk the chance of getting closed out of registration, in order to have good crowds and race support through the whole course.
to find my true purpose in my career– As I mentioned last month, I am currently exploring what it means to be a fitness coach. It may not be the true purpose of my career, but it's a least a step closer to maybe finding out what I do or don't want to do. I am not as overwhelmed as I was at the beginning of September, but I am giving it at least a few months to figure out if this is something I will want to do long-term.
As I mentioned previously, I am also participating in a Professional Development Leadership program for the next 6 months, and I really enjoyed the team building retreat we had a few weeks ago. It reminded me that I have leadership skills that are maybe being suppressed a little, so it's up to me to find a way to showcase them.
to treat others better and think before I speak– I had a bad moment a few weeks ago at a family event, and for personal reasons and with the person involved I don't want to go into too much detail because it's not something that should be shared with the world, but the jist of the situation was that I didn't give something a chance when someone offered to help me. I was critical from the beginning, sharing my dissatisfaction, judgment and impatience along the way. What I didn't think about was how the other person maybe was reminded of how they used to help me with the task when I was a child and helping me in the present day could have brought up those (hopefully) positive memories. Of course once the task was complete I was more satisfied than I initially thought I would be, but if I had just kept my mouth shut and given them and it a chance, then it could have been a really enjoyable bonding experience, instead of an embarrassing, immature moment for me. Even though we all have these moments, it still doesn't make it right, and yes, I did apologize.
to do things outside my comfort zone– I did a couple of things regarding this: 1) I did my first Facebook Live in my Fitness Challenge Group 2) I registered for a Cross Country Race Series that will last through October & November. Since I haven't run Cross Country since middle school, and just run road races, this was good for me. But it ensures that I will run at least once and week and will provide me with an opportunity to test my hips in race conditions. 3) I applied for the Women's Running Cover Runner Story, which I figured it was highly I would get selected, but the questionnaire was short, so I sent it in 4) At the leadership retreat, I tried to strike up more conversations vs just sitting in silence and waiting for someone to speak with me.
Read 25 books in 2016– No progress with this, I am still in the middle of the book I started in August (The Ramblers) but it is an intention of mine to finish it this month. With only 3 months left, and only 15 soon to be 16 books complete, it seems unlikely that I will reach my 25 book goal. Next year, if I make/share resolutions, it will be something a little more realistic like 1 book a month vs 2.
to reduce clutter in my life- This progress has slowed some, but I do have to admit that I am not missing anything that I reduce earlier in the year (cancelling magazine subscriptions, donating clothes, etc). The one 'thing' I did this month was clean off the top of my bedside table that was PILED with books I wanted to read, or books half started, but had yet to finish. Instead of 6-8 books, I have 1 book (my current read), plus 2 journals that I track weekly quotes I share, and the other one is a notebook where I write special memories I have with my nieces and nephews. Clearing off that space is MUCH nicer to look at and I am not reminded daily of all the books I need to get to.
to reduce excuses and procrastination– Well the fact that I am writing this 2 days after the end of September just goes to show that I haven't been doing well with this. When I actually just took the time to write this it took me less than a half hour, I just needed to focus on it. So although the reduction of procrastination as been going well, I have been reducing excuses when it comes to working out, as I am getting up early to do so because I have my swim coaching commitment after work.
That wraps up September. Thanks for reading!
What can you do for the next 3 months to end 2016 on a good note?

Amazing Morning!
Of course, I called her right away, and she said that they were waiting for my mom to get to their house to stay with their older child, and then they were off to the hospital. Their new son was born at 7:06 this morning via c-section. He is beautiful, and I'm already in love! I'm so excited that there will be 4 grandsons on my side of the family!
Soon after I arrived at the hospital and met him, my own phone rang with more good news--all went well in court this morning in Ethiopia! Our case worker told us to make our travel plans!
Our official court date is August 4th. We'll be in country from Aug. 1 - Aug. 7!
We're not totally sure where we'll be staying yet, but if you're a traveling family who will be there when we are, let us know where you'll be staying! We're looking forward to getting to know other Gladney families while we're there!
God is good, and He has blessed us this morning. I just feel like I want to acknowledge Him! Thank you all for your prayers for us and for our boys! We would certainly appreciate your continued prayers that all will go well on Aug. 4th, and that we can bring them home as soon as possible! Thank you, dear family, friends and blog friends!

Update on our Boys!
B is a content little guy who has this intense little gaze—almost like he can peer into your soul. He really likes to focus on your face and it can be difficult to get him to look elsewhere sometimes! Today, he enjoyed sucking on his fingers and really liked it when I stroked his cheek. I got quite a few coo's out of him when I did this. What a delightful little baby!
Lately, when I have visited R, he has vacillated between stranger anxiety and gregariousness. Generally, he is pretty outgoing, happy and ready to play. But occasionally, when I come to visit, he will back off and not seem so comfortable engaging with the ferenji-who-only-visits-occasionally*. But overall, he's a happy little guy (look at the expression on his face in the picture!). I think he just wants to make sure everything is okay before jumping in head first, so to speak. His caregivers help him feel that security, which of course, is completely appropriate and normal. He's a real delight! NOTE: The bandage on R's forehead was placed there by the doctor at the foster care centers due to the fact that R fell and bumped his head on a window sill. It left a bit of a scratch and a bruise, so the doctor put a padded bandage on the injury to cushion it in case R bumps it against anything.

We Have a Court Date!
BIG NEWS! Our adoption agency contacted us this afternoon to let us know that we have a court date scheduled for August 4th. The courts are currently scheduled to close for rainy season on the 6th. Talk about cutting it close.
BUT…we are NOT out of the woods yet.
In order to adopt from Ethiopia, we actually have to "clear" two court dates. Our first court date is July 19th. We do not attend this hearing. IF everything goes as scheduled on July 19th, THEN we fly over for the 2nd court date on August 4th. If there is any kind of "glitch" with the July 19th court date (and unfortunately, this often happens in Ethiopia), the 2nd court date of August 4th may have to be rescheduled…ugh…let's not go there.
Please pray that all the paperwork is turned in and that all relevant parties (birthmother, court clerks, judges, etc) show up on the 19th so that we can show up in court on August 4th and meet our boys.
…if all goes as scheduled, we should be bringing them home for good sometime in late August or early September.
Riding the emotional roller coaster,

Vaccinations - Advice Anyone?
"At this time, there are no mandatory vaccinations, although some of the suggested vaccinations are yellow fever, hepatits A & B, tetanus, typhoid, and meningitis. The CDC does recommend that all family members within the adoptive household be vaccinated for Hepatits A. Since you will be staying in Addis the whole time, it is at your discretion to purchase malaria medicine, since the malaria carrying mosquitos do not live in high elevations."

Ewan Serenades Kylie
Let's face it. Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge is either going to be fabulously good or spectacularly bad - and every new glimpse we have of it leaves the Empire Online team more and more perturbed.
So when news broke of the Moulin Rouge site going live, we hot-footed it over there, cyber-style, to see if there was a trailer to be had, to give us a better idea of a film that's set in 19th century Paris, but features a soundtrack that includes tracks by Fat Boy Slim and Elton John.
Well the news is that there's no trailer, but there is something even better - a quicktime movie showing Kylie Minogue being filmed as The Green Fairy - a narrator inspired by the Absinthe that the principals drink. Listen closely, and you'll notice that the backing track is a song by none other than Ewan McGregor.
To play the video, head for the movie's official site by clicking here - then enter your details to register for the the Moulin Rouge club and you'll find the video in the News section.
Thanks to Aint-it-Cool for the lead.

The 2004 Albert Hanson Memorial Billiards tournament kicked off last week, once again being held at South Bank Albion.
Albert, a former Albion secretary, was hugely responsible for the success of the region's billiards stars throughout his time in the game, and this event - which was won by snooker professional Jon Birch last year - is to honour all the hard work that Albert put into the game.
The Albion club no longer have a team in the Teesside Boys' Billiards League, but there are currently eight youngsters who use the club to play both billiards and snooker on a weekend morning.
These eight held their own qualifying section for one player to make it through to the competition proper, and it was won by 15-year-old Ben May of Acklam, who defeated 14-year-old Ricki Frost of South Bank 77-58 in the 30 minute final.
Ben was joined by 11 of the region's top junior players in the first qualifying section for this year's tournament.
Again playing games of 30 minutes, two players would qualify for the next stage.
In the opening round, reigning English Under-19 champion Dominic Mulhall was badly out of sorts, and 17-year-old Eston and Normanby player Karl Battensby used his 60 point handicap start to help him to an impressive 208-110 victory.
Anthony O'Brien (Ormesby) showed May the sort of level required to compete successfully in the boys' league, and despite conceding 50 start, Anthony won 131-91.
Trevor Snaith just scraped past England junior international Kyle Cunningham 107-104, while Paul Snowden had a comfortable 143-75 win over Ross McDonald.
In the second round, former English Under-16 champion Michael Donnelly recorded a 189-147 win over Battensby (rec.60), while O'Brien again played well to beat Anthony Peacock (rec.20) 152-114.
Callum Robinson, last year's beaten English Under-16 finalist, beat Trevor Snaith 121-94, and England junior international Billy Bousfield just managed to hang on to beat his nephew Paul Snowden (rec.40) 125-123.
Donnelly made it through by beating O'Brien (rec.40) 180-141, while Bousfield recorded the night's highest break, a 72, in beating Robinson (rec,30) 200-100.
The next stage of the tournament will see some of the leading amateur players in action, trying to get through to the final rounds. No dates have been arranged at the time of going to press.

Emmanuel Petit, the former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder, has retired after failing to recover from persistent injury.
The 34-year-old trained with Arsenal for a few weeks before Christmas after being released by Chelsea in the summer, but has failed to regain his fitness.
"Just before Christmas I became certain that I would never get back to my physical level," Petit said. "I knew it was over."
Petit won 63 caps for France and scored the third goal for the side in their 3-1 victory over Brazil in the 1998 World Cup final.
The goal capped a season in which he had helped Arsenal to the Double after forming a central midfield axis with Patrick Vieira.
Petit moved to Barcelona as part of the deal that also took Marc Overmars to the Nou Camp before returning to Chelsea in 2002.
Petit, who says he wants to remain in football, said that he had been troubled by injury since having three operations in 2003.
"It's like a little death," he added. "All the images of my career came through my head and it's hard to let it go.
"You must suddenly get into real life. Football players live in a bubble. From the morning until the evening our life is carried out in a military way.
"As a whole I am obviously very proud of my career. The only regret I have is to have finished it because of injuries like Marco van Basten or Glenn Hoddle."

The Preparation and Performance of LC4 Aluminum Alloys Ceramic Coatings with Trace Loose Layer Treated by Micro-Arc Oxidation
Abstract: LC4 aluminum alloy samples were treated by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) to produce trace loose layer film to improve the surface properties. The mechanical characteristics, high temperature erosion performance, structure and composition were investigated by strength tester, high flame erosion, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry. Compared to the untreated aluminum alloy, MAO coatings have good mechanical performance with tensile strength bigger than 18MPa and is intact with 20s heat ablation of 1900°C.
Effect of Pulse Electrical Parameters on Performance of Deposited Copper Coatings with Citrate System at Room Temperature
Abstract: This article presents a detailed research on pulse electrical parameters for non-cyanide electroplating copper plating on stainless still substrate. The study was made about the effect of the current density, duty ratio and frequency on the surface morphology, thickness and uniformity of the deposited layers. The surface morphology was examined by MIT 300 metallurgical microscope and the thickness of copper coatings was examined by TT260 coating thickness gauge. Current density 0.4A/dm2 is the optimum current at which the best uniform coating can be formed.
Abstract: Copper electroplating films were prepared on 20# steel by four different power modes which are direct current plating, single polar pulse plating, bipolar pulse plating and bipolar pulse plating with magnetic field. The electrochemical performance was investigated in 3.5% NaCl solution by means of potentiodynamic polarization measurement. The morphology and micro structure were characterized by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. It is proved that the magnetic field is responsible for the improvement of the performance of copper electroplating films.
Abstract: Engineers, biologists and surgeons face a special task when they design procedures, components and systems to replace damaged tissues beyond any limits, caused by disease or trauma. It has been proven that titanium and its alloys have an excellent biocompatibility, that's why many studies have been made on them, in order to enhance their biomedical applicability. In this paper, the wear behavior of two new titanium alloys, Ti12Mo and Ti25Nb25Ta , have been tested in biological conditions
Abstract: The cyclic oxidation behavior of Co-10Cr-5Al alloys in atmosphere at 700 °C was investigated. The addition of 0.3 at.% Y changed the oxidation behavior from the approximate parabolic rate law to complex mode. The scale grown on the surface of Co-10Cr-5Al cracked seriously, while the oxide scale the Y doped alloy had better adhesive property. Yttrium doped in the sample promoted the forming of continuous Al2O3 layer and decreased the oxidation rate of Co-10Cr-5Al alloys.
Abstract: The 0.5-3.0 mol% Er3+-Ce3+ co-doped TiO2 powders have been prepared by sintering the hybrid materials Er0.5Ce0.5(AA)3phen-doped TiO2/PMMA, which were prepared by sol-gel method, using the modified titanium (IV) n-butoxide [Ti(O-Bu)4-x(AAPhen)x] as precursors which were given by the chelate reaction between Ti(O-Bu)4, AA and Phen at 70°C. The hybrid matrix TiO2/PMMA improved the dispersion of Er3+, which caused an enhancement in the photoluminescence (PL) peak intensity at 1.53 mm of the 1 mol% Er (AA)3phen-doped TiO2/PMMA powders sintered at 700 °C of about 23 times higher than that only had TiO2 as its matrix. When co-doped with Ce3+, the above ratio of the PL peak intensity was raised to 75 times, which illustrated the obvious sensitization and dispersion effects of Ce3+ on Er3+.
Cutting Forces Numerical Analysis and Research in Dry Turning of 1.4301 with Wiper Coated Carbide Insert
Abstract: The main aim of this scientific research is to assess the contribution of surface layers of hardened steel by determining the experimental measurement of cutting forces in the turning technology with the coated carbide cutting insert. This experimental study is a continuation of the solutions of grant VEGA no. 1/9428/02 titled "The technological heredity of the machined surfaces - surface integrity". The aim of the present article is to focus scientific research on the impact of the various components of cutting forces in turning of 1.4301 steel at the outer longitudinal turning with wiper cutting coated cemented carbide insert. This scientific paper, together with published results is a basis that will enable optimizing the quality of turning process of steel materials used for special applications or automotive parts with their dominant functional areas.
Influence of High Temperature Processing on the Substructure of Laser Shock Processed Titanium Alloy
Abstract: The paper aims to study the influence of high temperature processing on the substructure of laser shock processed titanium alloy. The titanium alloy specimens were first treated by laser shock processing (LSP), then treated at 700°C for three hours and air cooled to the room temperature to investigate the influence of the high temperature processing. To evaluate such influence, the hardness and substructure on the surface were investigated by micro hardness tester and transmission electron microscope (TEM), respectively. Results show that after three times LSP, the hardness of TC11 alloy was improved by 30.9%. The cause of such an improvement in hardness is that the crystal grains in the surface layer under the shock wave stress were strongly deformed, causing a dynamic recrystallization. The substructure is mainly twin crystals, highly tangled and dense dislocations. After high temperature processing in vacuum, the average hardness is decreased by 12% compared to that of the specimens after LSP. And the substructures are mainly small dislocation, nanocrystalline.
Abstract: The parameter identification of a new hysteretic nonlinear metal rubber damper system is studied in this paper. Firstly, the advantage of the new metal rubber damper which composed by two components is proved by the static and dynamic test comparing to the damper included only one metal rubber. Secondly, the constitutive of bilinear hysteresis model and parameter identification equation are obtained. Then the parameter of the new damper system is identified by generalized least squares estimation. In the last, the simulation result is compared with the real values, it shows that the method is simple, effective, high precision, and it is also reliable and applicable to the corresponding engineering.

Brechin Cathedral is such an interesting building with an amazing array of doors.
Marriage Stones. Falkland
Wonderful collection of Marriage Stone found in Falkland.
Craigievar Castle. Scotland
I was reliably informed that the pink colour is created by putting ox blood and damson pip in a lime pit and leave for a couple of years before applying.
St Fergus's Well Glamis
This is a beautiful hidden gem in the little village of Glamis, Angus Scotland and well worth the visit.

After Tuesday's course PB and a couple of good training sessions my attention soon turned to my next race, a 2Up TT on the same course with my mate and fellow Team Bottrill rider Simon Travell. Simon and I are both coached by Dan and are totally familiar with each other's capabilities on the bike, this makes a 2Up a little less of a step into the unknown as to how things will go and the way in which we planned to race. When you think of a 2UP you automatically think you'll rocket down the course and blitz any time you can do on your own, this is potentially the case, but doing a 2Up is quite different to a solo effort. To go faster, you'll need to make the changes slick and each rider needs to ensure they don't put the other one into the red zone by riding too hard at certain points, the aim is to get both riders to the finish line in the quickest time, not to beat each other up in the process.
Build up
Prior to the race I'd done my typical bit of over analysis and looked at the pairings that would be racing, in total there would be 27 teams racing, looking at individual times using the CTT website I'd counted 7 teams that would most likely be faster, 7 teams around the same pace and the rest potentially slower. I'd predicted we'd come 8th, time wise it was hard to say due to the potential of bad weather, but as a guide I'd done 21:58 solo so I would have thought something around 21:15 might be possible, but as mentioned that would be reliant on a number of factors.
Race Time
Having missed the opportunity for a practice run on Tuesday we both arrived in plenty of time to do an extended warm up, so we kitted up and set off. Looking at the sky above, there was A LOT of dark clouds around, a soaking seemed inevitable but after a few brief stops we did about 8 miles together and all seemed well as we came back to race HQ. Our start time was 14:20, after a few chats with some of the AMAC boys we made our way up the hill, eventually rolling to the start line with a few minutes to spare. Some familiar faces from B&DCC were on starting duty including Craig Devonshire and Malc and before too long both of us were blasting down the hill in pursuit of a quick time.
The out leg
As we passed both (well marshalled) cross roads, I heard Simon shout something like "we are alive" as we began the climb up the other side, first job complete. The run to the turn is 5.5 miles, we had a slight tailwind helping us and we soon got into a good rhythm, alternating roughly every 45 seconds. The changes felt pretty good, we passed close together and there was no surging or waiting needed. Every time I looked down through my legs I saw Simon's wheel close to mine (wahey!) and when I was on the rear I felt like I'd been close too, I certainly managed to get some good recoveries in anyway, no doubt helped by the fact Simon seemed to ride his bike arrow straight, I hoped I was doing the same. I had a slight bum clenching moment when a car passed us a little too closely but other than that we were well on track as we averaged close to 29mph, 0.5mph quicker than I'd gone solo on Tuesday. At 5 miles you hit the hit the hill that signals the turn is fast approaching, being slightly better on the inclines I'd purposely got on the front to help us up the hill, this worked ok, the issue we had was another pairing that we had caught was only a few metres in front of us at this point, this would make the already fiddly turn an even greater challenge.
With Simon slightly behind me and a car approaching from the right my plan was to get around the turn then slow a bit if needed around the other side, I swung wide overtook the other 2 riders taking a brief glance to see where my partner was, he looked to be carrying good speed around the bend and whilst we still had the other 2 riders in between us it looked like we'd be back together ready to attack the home leg. Well, we would have been if instead of those two guys moving out the way they hadn't decided to try and jump on my wheel, this was really bad form from them and it meant Simon had to really battle to pass them and put in extra effort to get back up behind me. I didn't want to slow too much and risk my body thinking the pain was over, on reflection maybe I should have knocked it back a fraction more but regardless it was a bit annoying that this team had interfered with our race.
After dropping down the hill we soon got back into rhythm, the extra effort Simon had put in meant we had to just peg it back momentarily and I did a double turn to help. This worked and then each time Simon was back on the front I got my recovery in to allow us push on once more. Approaching the garden centre there were a number of cars pulling in and out but with marshals there they were at least alerted to our presence, a comforting feeling when you're making yourself as small as possible doing around 29mph. Safely through we now started to wind it up for the finish.
Almost at the finish
Naturally having been able to take lots of recoveries (relative term, you still have to pedal bloody hard) behind Simon I was feeling much stronger at this point than when solo on Tuesday, my memory is a little unclear but I think we both communicated that it was now time to go full gas for the finish. At this point I was really enjoying the team effort we'd put in, the buzz helped to take a fraction of the sting out the legs as we came around the final section and saw the finish line in sight. I was completely turning myself inside out at this point as Simon came up on my right so we could cross the line together, as we crossed the line I hit the stop button, 21:26, first emotion was I'll take that so pretty happy. We had a few private words about the race but all in all I think we'd both enjoyed it, it was then all about getting back to HQ and seeing how we'd done.
Looking back over the data at the last 2 miles I'd put out 296W, meaning we had averaged 28.9mph for that section which was 3mph quicker than I did solo, proving that we had worked well as we were able keep pushing to the line rather than fading. The last mile we both did 293W, which again shows the joint effort that had gone in to achieving the time we did.
Back at HQ we looked at the laptop to see the times coming in, I think at this point we were in 4th, Joel and Xavi who had a practice run in the week were in 2nd with a 20:39. The other AMAC team of Bishop and Moore pipped us by 1s doing a 21:26 to our amended 21:27. Roughly 20 minutes later all the times were in, we'd ended up in 8th (as a I predicted..) the winners doing a 20:14. It would have been nice to get that 7th, but all in all a great effort between the both of us. Like ourselves most pairings all seemed to have a story that cost them a few seconds but that's time trialling for you I guess.
A big thanks to the organisers and helpers from B&DCC, any chance of another one before the season ends?

Pet for a Companion
If you are simply looking for companionship, then you need only to choose a furry individual that strikes your fancy. Both purebreds and those of "questionable ancestry" can make great pets, and the decision concerning genetic purity is entirely up to you. If you choose to go the purebred route, expect to pay more up front for your purchase. In addition, you run greater risk of facing genetic disorders inherent to that particular breed. Being very cautious and prudent in your selection process can minimize this risk.

- citydogcountrydogtrainingAsked on March 14, 2017 at 01:34 PM
Good morning,
I have a situation where two of my clients entered the credit card information and the payment did not come through. I tested the form and cannot replicate the problem and other clients payments are coming through fine. these were the two forms affected so far.
https://form.jotform.com/70144396756160 - Clients are also reporting this form is "timing out" or won't let them submit with payment information entered.
I am trying to get more specific information from another client who says that this form won't accept her payment information. Here is the link for that form.
We've got 10 forms active for our 2017 events with Square payment widget added and in the first week of roll out problems are already popping up but they are sporadic. Working for some clients not working for others. Clients are reporting attempts to switch browsers to solve the problem and it's not helping.
You've always been awesome at helping with kinks so I hope you can work your magic again.
- AIDANAnswered on March 14, 2017 at 02:41 PM
Hi Mary, thank you for contacting us.
Your decision to try to get more specific information from the clients who had problem is exactly what we would have recommended, because when testing the forms works for us in addition to you and several clients of yours, that confirms to us that the Square integration itself is working properly, otherwise none of us could have reported a success.
I hope this helps. Please get back to us, we are awaiting your reply. Thank you.

A challenge: Admit when you are wrong… Just onesPosted: April 14, 2011 Filed under: Help solve questions realting to good deeds | Tags: Good deeds, honesty, nock, oppenheimer, popper, theory of science Leave a comment
I value honesty above everything else. Often to the degree that it likely hurts my own career and income, but I do not see a point in games or taking credit. Straight to the point and get the job done is more me. Besides, what goes around comes around, so honesty is likely the best path to lead the world down.
I do however appreciate boldness a lot. People who state opinions or form hypothesises are the important shakers of humanity that play an essential part in propelling us all forward.
I also understand that with the modern complexity you cannot know everything, not even with google as your best friend. That is why methodology and theory of science is even more important tools today. They give a universal grounding from which to build shared understanding. A simple such statement is A is A. After all, if A is not A, it must be something else. Just like, if you to state categorical statements or hold beliefs as data-points you must admit that such beliefs are either true or false. If not, you are doing your part to help humanity slumber (sidenote: I believe an attitude of not caring about facts or your role in the world is what the song Slumber by Bad Religion is about).
Unfortunately in big organizations and the way we have decided to run our governments we use politics, and a basic element in politics is never admitting that you are wrong or that your opponent are right (even if they copied your own ideas to the letter). Some even take joy in this weird game it seems. This is one of the (several) reasons the philosopher Oppenheimer and later American essayist A.J. Nock was critical of representative government, and according to the brilliant Popper, this kind of behavior is one of the biggest treats to any system as it hampers discovery and decision making.
So my good deed mission for you is this: Next time you are caught being wrong. Admit it, no matter the consequence…
… but please feel free to share the consequences in a comment below.
Don't feel bad. Remember the "old" motto of the internet: Fail Faster. We fail too slow if people for whatever reason, will not admit being wrong.
On a site note: at Echo it we truly believe that the next frontier of social media is to provide technologies that improve the world we inhabit and help to fill the void left by the departure of traditions and ethics in the modern world. Echo it has to play a part in this development. Even if we fail, we must fail in such a way that humanity benefit from learning from our example.
PS: The last three posts have looked a bit political… I am sorry if I offended anybody. Please remember to use echo it nomatter what your views are. I am just rambling CEO who has too many opinions.
PPS: Here is the song referenced above for your enjoyment
Have a nice day and thank you for reading this.
Is feedback a good deed?Posted: February 23, 2011 Filed under: Help solve questions realting to good deeds | Tags: do onto others, feedback, Good deeds Leave a comment
A while ago I was doing a telco with participants literally spread across the globe. It was relating to some new marketing procedures and the buy-in was good from all except one. This guy kept asking questions that everybody else knew and that was clearly laid out in the documentation mailed out prior to our meeting. After wasting a half hour of everybody's time, I realize that all the questions he was asking was printed on the next page than the one he was looking at. He clearly had not read it beforehand. I whispered my theory to the meeting leader on our side and he decided to end the meeting with the words that he would explain the procedure to the not-reader later (he didn't call him that though).
We had a chat about it afterwards and I was told the guy was a real asset and great at his job, so you just had to live with him not always reading stuff before meetings. Hmm… Have anybody actually explained to him that he is wasting a lot of other people's time when not being prepared for a meeting?
Because even if this guy gets upset or mad or finds excuses if confronted with his behavior, not confronting is potentially worse. Why? Because if he does not change his behavior he will slowly but steadily build up animosity in this organization, and that might in time hinder his career prospects.
I believe you should always ask people if they want feedback, but it can be hard to do. Especially when you think they'll take it badly. But refusing upfront to try? That surely is a bad deed!
So I ask you, dear reader, is giving feedback, even to a person not asking for it, a good deed? Is it imperative?
Have a nice day. I am happy you took the time to read this.
Letting in traffic squaredPosted: February 7, 2011 Filed under: Help solve questions realting to good deeds, Stories of good deeds | Tags: behavior, Copenhagen, do onto others, Good deeds, time, traffic, value 3 Comments
I drive a lot. Mainly to and from work. This means I drive a lot in rush hour traffic. In a mayor European capital to boost. Anybody who does this, knows that you are hard pressed not to ones in a while rely on the kindness of strangers in letting you into a exit lane that you missed. Anybody with an ounce of humanity in them will understand the urgency of this need; because if a kind soul does not let you in front them, the resulting detour will easy cost you half an hour, while letting you in will cost the kind stranger 30 secs (that is still not a price to be ignored or devalued… I did in fact steal/was gifted them from someone now worse off).
First off; A BIG FREAKING THANK YOU! to all that have ever let me in front of them. You rule! Please believe me when I say that I feel really grateful and spent a lot of energy the rest of day trying to repay the universe the Karma I must owe for this gesture of friendliness from a stranger. Not least, because I always feel bad that maybe you thought I was trying to cheat my way ahead, and still you saw passed that and properly figured that if I did indeed try to cheat you can still spare me the 30 secs if that makes me somehow better off. Wow!
Now here is my question to you dear reader however. And please help, cos I am lost here. If you have been let in by a kind driver, are you then suppose to also let in someone in front of you if this need materializes?
Are you compelled to continue the precise nice gesture shown to you? Let the spirit of the act ignite new ones?
Or, are you now obliged to be the bad guy and make sure no one gets let in front of you, and thereby the kind person behind you? I mean you did just take 30 sec from the driver behind you, who are you to make that a minute? Two? Ten?
Have a nice day. I am happy you took the time to read this and maybe help solve the issue.
Why do you condole?Posted: January 30, 2011 Filed under: Help solve questions realting to good deeds | Tags: behavior, Condole, Death, Friends, Good deeds, Henrik Hald, Love Shop Leave a comment
OMG! This is bad. Henrik Hald has died. Now all you English speakers out there probably do not know who his is… or was, unfortunately. Henrik Hald was a great Danish musician who among many other projects, including sole recording, was a central part of the Danish band and Copenhagen anthem writer: Love Shop.
I was privileged enough to see Henrik Hald perform live (think a mix of Morrissey and Johnny Cash) and the last time in Vega was a scary reminder just how dreadful a disease cancer is.
The passing of Henrik Hald was not meant to result in a post here, as it is just sad. However, after a couple of days of constantly playing music of his, a problem kept coming up that I hope my readers will help me solve?
The the thing is… Upon getting the news of his death I felt so bad I had to do something. Shout it out and tell the world that this is just not on. However being in an office outside of Copenhagen where I doubted anybody felt as strongly as I did, I could not just do a wlak around the office and talk of the loss and my grief. So I posted a comment of condolence on the tabloid that reported his death.
What confuses me is, if that actually helped anybody but me? I surely felt a little better, but what else? Was it a good deed to write a respectful comment on a random newspaper? Even if those close to Henrik Hald ever happens to read it, would it make any difference to them?
Did I just do a very selfish act by hijacking his loved ones grief to make myself feel better? Instead of just being happy for the music he has provided me with?
So I made a small poll here and I hope that you answer it and comment on why you condole people with the loss of loved ones?
Have a nice day. I am happy you took the time to read this.

While the Washington Post article is on toxic leaders within the U.S. Army, this was a most interesting blurb:
But the strain of combat did seem to leave many of the Army leaders pessimistic about the future, with only 38 percent saying that the Army was headed in the right direction to prepare for the challenges of the next 10 years.
I'm not sure how the 'strain of combat' leads to/is linked with the 'wrong direction' issue, but if you just take the second half of the sentence and say 'only 38 percent of those surveyed think the Army is head in the right direction for the challenges of the next decade,' that's revelatory.
Of course, toxic leadership is not constrained to the Army, the military services, the DoD, government, or even industry. It's everywhere and the military is a reflection of the society it draws on. There are also certain institutional rewards/punishments and lessons learned which can lead someone who is 'toxically neutral' towards the dark side, or conversely, to the light.
What is toxic leadership?
commanders who put their own needs first, micro-managed subordinates, behaved in a mean-spirited manner or displayed poor decision making.
As such, it would appear that idiot leaders—those who make earnest but bad decisions—would also qualify as toxic leaders due to their poor decision making. And remember, one of the very worst things an organization can have is an idiot with initiative.
From the comments section:
The Army, indeed all services, are still old boys networks. Friends and buddies will still get away with toxic leadership. You can't have toxic leaders looking into toxic leadership. It simply will not work.
Ask the Air Force how it worked having those who destroyed the nuclear enterprise "reenergize" it.
If I could take out the "old boys" part of the comment, I'd be in complete agreement.

EastEnders' executive producer Bryan Kirkwood has confirmed that Max Branning's forthcoming car crash will have a long-lasting impact on life in Albert Square.
Next month, fans will see Max (Jake Wood) face peril as he crashes his car into a lorry on the day of his ex-wife Tanya's wedding. His daughter Abi is also in the vehicle at the time of the collision.
Reports have suggested that a horrified Tanya (Jo Joyner) will flee from the church after she hears about the accident, just moments after she has tied the knot with partner Greg Jessop, played by Stefan Booth.
Speaking to Inside Soap, Kirkwood explained that the dramatic scenes pave the way for changes in the lives of Tanya, Greg, Max and the businessman's new partner Vanessa Gold.
Kirkwood commented: "Max and Vanessa and Tanya and Greg are heading in a particular direction, but that changes after Max's car crash on Tanya's wedding day. The accident has a real impact on Max and Tanya for a long time, and turns their lives around."
Of Tanya and Max's appeal as a couple, he added: "I think they're like Den and Angie Watts - it's fun to have them together and fun to have them apart. All I can say is that I really enjoy them together."

Book pak Recorded Books 2002
CS ISBN 1402518625 $83.00 Nine cassettes
Tom Stechschulte's voice is huskier than ever, as gravelly as old sandpaper. His reading makes this densely plotted examination of retribution, forgiveness, and justice in a small Southern town shiver with life. A racially mixed baby dies. She is buried in a white cemetery. The white deacons of the Baptist church vote to exhume the remains and re-bury them in the "colored" cemetery. That night the church is burned to the ground. Tragedy follows tragedy, investigations uncover secrets, sudden unexpected revelations occur, and Stechschulte never disappoints. He's a magician at characterization. The novel puts a microscope on what people will do under stress. Robbins's sensitive probe of human motives, his lyrical prose in the face of horrific circumstances, and Stechschulte's intensely moving performance make for deeply satisfying listening. S.J.H.

Well… I'm not 25 yet, but I'm turning 22 next month (April 12th to be exact) and it's literally driving me insane.
First and foremost, I'm not the biggest fan of the number 22 (sucks to suck Ana). I just don't find it appealing. 16 was live. 18 was great. 20 sucked (too old for the 18 and up and too young for the 21 and older). 21 is freaking fabulous (margaritas on me?) 22.. 22 just reminds me of Taylor Swift and that doesn't make me jump for joy.
I guess what started this snowball effect was spring break. Last week was freaking great. We went to the valley and spent the whole week with my best friends. Ate tons of amazingly cheap food and enjoyed a lot of laughs. The only part that made my quarter-life crisis hit me like a damn bus was the beach. I FELT SO DAMN OLD. I see these kids in high school, freshman in college, simply kids that look like they just came out of middle school having the time of their life… and I was just there… you know… just thinking about how hungry I was and trying to convince the boys we were ready to go. HAHAHAHAHA!
Then today. Today I registered for my last semester in college..
I mean.. I'm thrilled to almost be done with school but now I'm being flooded with questions.
"What are your plans for after graduation?"
"Have you applied for any internships?"
"Where do you plan to live?"
"What do you plan to do with your major?"
*****and in my headdddd.. I'm like*****
and really… I have no idea…. I just know I'm going to graduate next December.. (well if i pass stats HAHAHA)
I went from having a margarita on the beach in my hand last week to trying to get my life together this week.. and just yesterday, on our first day back, I skipped all of my classes (sorry mom).
to add icing on the cake, being a grown up = bills. AND BILLS MAKE ME WANT TO LAY ON NAILS. I'm trying hard to be more independent and not rely on my parents as much. But.. I wear contacts and I'm officially on my last pair. Even with insurance contacts suck. I need to get an eye exam for my contacts AND MY GLASSES. WHAT IN THE WORLD?! THERE IS NO COMBO DEAL IN THIS THING?! AND THEN AFTER THE EXAM I NEED TO ACTUALLY BUY MY CONTACTS AND GLASSES. WHO NEEDS TO SEE?!
You know what sucks too? groceries. WHY MUST I BE HUNGRY ALL THE TIME? WHY MUST I LOVE THE MOST EXPENSIVE STUFF? OH IDK, BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO BE 22!
Most of the time I hold my ground.. even with $20 to my name.. but sometimes.. it goes like this..
I don't know how I feel about being 22.. all I know is that I want to lay in bed with some fluffy pillows, eat some pizza and hot cheeto puffs and watch scandal, and if I'm feeling lucky, have David run to the store and get me ice cream.
welp….. that's my slice of life on this great Tuesday.

Current smokers with ADHD had significantly higher rates of severe nicotine addiction, even after controlling for conduct disorders (P=0.01), Timothy E. Wilens, M.D., of Harvard and Massachusetts General Hospital, and colleagues reported in the September issue of the Journal of Pediatrics.
In their controlled longitudinal family studies of ADHD, the researchers also found that ADHD patients are more vulnerable to certain environmental factors, such as having friends or parents who smoke.
Previous studies have shown that young people with ADHD are more likely to smoke, and start doing so at a younger age. To analyze whether having ADHD also increases the severity of nicotine dependence, the researchers looked at participants from two previous longitudinal case-control studies: one in boys and one in girls.
In those studies, psychiatric assessments were made on the basis of the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Aged Children, Epidemiologic Version (K-SADS-E) for those younger than 18, and on the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID) for those 18 and older.
For the present studies, participants responded to survey questions on smoking history and levels of tobacco dependence, with responses from 80 ADHD patients and 86 controls ages 15 to 25. The researchers evaluated the surveys on the modified Fagerstrom Tolerance Questionnaire (mFTQ) for degrees of physical dependence on nicotine.
The researchers found that the prevalence of smoking and current smoking were more common in those with ADHD. Of ADHD patients, 69% had smoked at some point in their lifetime, compared with 44% of controls. And 41% of ADHD patients were current smokers, compared with 17% of controls.
When analyzing mFTQ scores for severity of smoking dependence, current smokers who had ADHD had significantly higher rates of nicotine addiction than controls (P=0.001).
"Our evaluation of the intrinsic characteristics of ADHD related to smoking revealed higher mFTQ scores in those subjects with more ADHD symptoms, including both inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive cluster symptoms," the researchers said.
The researchers also called the finding noteworthy that certain environmental factors were associated with greater physical dependence on nicotine in ADHD patients. The three environmental factors were: having friends who smoke (P<0.001), living with a smoker (P<0.001), and having a parent who smokes (P=0.007).
Their study also replicated findings that smokers with ADHD began using tobacco about a year and a half sooner than controls. In this study it was 13.9 +/- 2.7 years versus 15.2 +/- 2.0 years, P=0.02, although the difference was no longer significant when controlling for conduct disorder. However, onset of smoking was significantly earlier in the ADHD patients with conduct disorder than in those without (12.8 +/- 2.5 years versus 14.8 +/- 2.6 years, P=0.007).
Despite previous literature, the researchers found no difference between males and females in smoking dependence, current smoking, or lifetime smoking. They said there was a trend toward more severe nicotine dependence in female smokers with ADHD, but it was not significant.
The researchers said that their study suggested that smoking and ADHD may share biological mechanisms, such as a common neurotransmitter system, or common genes that may create a vulnerability to both ADHD and nicotine dependence.
"It looks like interplay between the dopamine system, more substantially related to ADHD and addiction, and the cholinergic system related to smoking is probably important," Dr. Wilens said.
Limitations of the study included self-reported data and small sample size. Also, more females than males responded to the questionnaires.
Still, the researchers said the results indicate a clear association between ADHD and more severe smoking, and called for prevention and early intervention efforts, as well as further investigation into the environmental and neurobiological interaction between ADHD and nicotine use.
|The study was supported in part by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Dr. Wilens has received grant support from Abbott, Lilly, McNeil, Merck, NIH (National Institute on Drug Abuse), and Shire; is a speaker for McNeil, Novartis, and Shire; and serves as a consultant for Abbott, McNeil, Eli Lilly & Co., Merck, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Novartis, and Shire.

A federal judge disqualified two lawyers Tuesday from representing a pair of defendants charged in a mob-related case with blowing up a coin-operated amusement company in suburban Berwyn.
Judge Ronald A. Guzman disqualified attorneys Alexander Salerno and Edmund Wanderling, saying they have "numerous and multifaceted" conflicts of interest.
Mark Polchan, 41, and Samuel Volpendesto, 84, are charged in the February 2003 bombing that ripped apart the Berwyn offices of C&S Coin Operated Amusements.
Prosecutors say the blast was a message from the mob to the company to quit horning in on its $13 million monopoly on gambling in Chicago's western suburbs.
The two men were arrested July 30 when federal agents fanned out across northern Illinois, raiding offices and hangouts of the Outlaws motorcycle gang. Polchan is a member of the Outlaws. The two have pleaded not guilty.
A call to Salerno and Wanderling at their offices late Tuesday was not immediately returned. A message was left with their answering service.
Salerno showed up at the home of an unnamed mob member who could become a defendant in the case when federal agents searched it on July 30, Guzman said. Wanderling apparently called Salerno and urged him to go to the home, he said.
Salerno also represented a key witness in the case and Wanderling had represented that witness's son, the judge said. He said Salerno previously served as an attorney for Volpendesto, who is now represented by Wanderling.
"These circumstances make it extremely difficult for the court even to admonish adequately Volpendesto or Polchan as to the many different ways that this prior relationship could result in prejudice to either during the course of these proceedings," Guzman said in a 15-page written opinion.
"Under these circumstances it is extremely difficult for the court to satisfy itself that either Volpendesto or Polchan understand fully the consequences of waiving their Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel," he said.

Hamilton-Jacobi Many-Worlds Theory and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle - Quantum Physics
Hamilton-Jacobi Many-Worlds Theory and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle - Quantum Physics - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Abstract: I show that the classical Hamilton-Jacobi H-J equation can be used as atechnique to study quantum mechanical problems. I first show that the theSchr\-odinger equation is just the classical H-J equation, constrained by acondition that forces the solutions of the H-J equation to be everywhere $C^2$.That is, quantum mechanics is just classical mechanics constrained to ensurethat ``God does not play dice with the universe.- I show that this condition,which imposes global determinism, strongly suggests that $\psi^*\psi$ measuresthe density of universes in a multiverse. I show that this interpretationimplies the Born Interpretation, and that the function space for $\psi$ islarger than a Hilbert space, with plane waves automatically included. Finally,I use H-J theory to derive the momentum-position uncertainty relation, thusproving that in quantum mechanics, uncertainty arises from the interference ofthe other universes of the multiverse, not from some intrinsic indeterminism innature.

The Mahabharata and Ramayana are very important and relevant even today. Thus, movies, TV shows, and plays reprise the stories from these ancient texts. Recently, a Pondicherry-based theatre group Adishakti has been performing plays based on these epics. Their popular productions, Brhannala and The Tenth Head, have come to Mumbai for a number of shows. While Brhannala discusses the story of Arjuna during his exile in the Mahabharata, The Tenth Head revolves around the King of Lanka, Ravana, and his famous 10 heads. Through the play, the ten heads become a metaphor for the tension that exists between the individual and the collective.
Ravana has been portrayed in text and pop culture as the man with 10 heads. Placed next to each other, the heads together are not symmetrical, as there are four on one side, and five on the other, the tenth head being at the center. Aesthetically, the body is disproportionate. The tenth head (played by Vinay Kumar) wants to find a way around this, so that he can be more in sync with the other heads. But while the nine heads conform to a common manner of behavior, the tenth head is the one with the intellect, the might, and all the other great things Ravana was known for. In order to be independent of the other heads, the tenth head asks a group of artists to find a solution to his problem. Meanwhile, the artists apply their own interpretation of the 10 heads, leaving them even more skewered than before.
If you watch plays for light entertainment, The Tenth Head is not for you. This play appeals to those who love theatre and understand the complexity of performing on stage. It is all about being entranced by one actor, who only uses actions to keep you hooked. The use of dialogue in the play is minimal and also includes an original song. But the story is mainly portrayed through Kumar's use of gestures and vague actions. His talent and practice come across in his performance. He plays a very convincing part with very limited props. The play of light is brilliantly done throughout the show. With a projector reflecting parts of the story through animation, various panels are put together and changed multiple times to create a 3D screen effect. Together, the lights, music, and actors give you a performance unlike anything you've seen on stage before.
If you want a glimpse at the play, watch the trailer here:
Don't forget to catch the play the next time it stages in your city!

Big Brother star Imogen Thomas has admitted to suffering from alopecia as a child.
The 29-year-old talked about how her hair had fallen out during an interview with Closer Magazine.
'When I was 10, I developed alopecia and big clumps of my hair fell out,'
'I had a lot of stress – my mum was a single parent and raised me and my sister on her own. My sister used to take over a lot and was very demanding. Then my mum got a new boyfriend who she's still with now. We had to adapt.'
The reality star was afraid she would 'go bald' following the stress of her affair with footballer Ryan Giggs last year.
'The alopecia went on for a few years and, whenever I'm stressed like recently, it starts falling out again. I'm terrified I'll go bald.'
Alopecia, which has been linked to stress, can affect both men and women and appears as bald patches on the scalp. The hair will often grow back, but those who suffer may always find it flairs up during stressful times.

Less than two weeks after getting pounded with baseball-sized hail, the town of Sidney was hit again over the weekend.
A slow-moving storm Saturday night pelted the Sidney area with hail larger than tennis balls.
A resident of Sidney sent in a picture to Clear Channel Ogallala showing a tennis ball on a plate with three large hail stones, one of which was much larger than the tennis ball.
Officials are assessing the damage. Less than two weeks ago, Sidney was hit with a storm that produced baseball-sized hail, knocking out many windows, damaging roofs, and damaging vehicles in and around the town.
