One of the ACCME's functions, as specified in its bylaws, is to recognize state and territory medical societies as accreditors of local CME providers. These intrastate providers offer CME primarily to learners from their state or contiguous states as opposed to ACCME-accredited providers, which offer CME primarily to national or international audiences.
State and territory medical societies that are designated by the ACCME as Recognized Accreditors must meet the ACCME's recognition requirements. The recognition requirements are designed to maintain a uniform, national system of CME accreditation, helping to assure physicians, state legislatures, CME providers, and the public that all CME programs within the ACCME system are held to the same high standards.

Welcome to "Meaningless Arguments," a series in which Thomas Stone (also '19) and I debate incredibly arbitrary topics with philosophical vigor.
I will type in gold, Thomas in red.
⍚: This symbol is used when somebody wishes to interrupt another while the other is making a statement.
First Debate: What is Food?
Thomas: Adam, how do you define food?
Adam: My definition, to start will be as follows: food is a solid that can be safely, and with benefit, be ingested by humans.⍚
T: Got it, but then does a vitamin supplement alone count as food?
A: Revised: "that is traditionally ingested, for not only sustenance but also for pleasure, by humans." Please state your counter-definition.
T: Sounds good, yet I propose that food is a semi-to-full-solid complex nutritional substance that must have a certain size.⍚
A: Gelatin? Is that food?
T: Yes, I suppose it is, typically used for the sick or dessert.
A: If gelatin is to be considered food, then why should any other gels be discounted as food, like petroleum jelly?
T: Quite simple: as you and I both said, food needs to be complex and nutritional⍚
A: Define "complex."
T: Food should have at least one variant of C6H12O6 and some other form of nutrient.
A: So, any substance containing sugar molecules and other nutrients is considered complex.
T: Chemically, I suppose.
A: What do you mean by 'certain size?'
T: Well a pill is not food, and while I suppose a single ravioli is, one does not have a meal of a single ravioli or a single chip of either defen⍚
A: Are snacks not food, then? Having a minor portion of a small snack would not be equated with eating a meal, would it?
T: I see your point. I suppose sizes does not matter in technicality, since complex rules out pills, which are simply nutrients.
A: I've been attacking your definition for some time. I believe you should have a crack at mine about now.
T: A wonderful suggestion! Yours has no measure for complexity, and your reformed definition relies on taste, wh⍚
A: Not necessarily just taste, but also other features of the food, such as social value, that is, is the food consumed ⍚
T: It does not matter. The point is that it is variable, and even if part of it is variable, that means what food is changes from person to person.
A: You make a good point. Is this an accurate restatement of your question? "Do you claim that if a person does not derive enjoyment from the consumption of the food, it, from their perspective, is not food?"
T: Correct. Food must be recognized a single thing, as food is necessary for survival, and as we are not different species, our food must not change meaning.
A: A counter-question: can a substance be food if it can be dangerous to ingest?
T: Not to be cruel, but yes. Simply being allergic, or having an intolerance, does not change the fact that in normal circumstances, people would derive fullness from substance.
A: I suppose I must answer your previous question then. First of all, I should say that the concept of food is fluid. (not meaning that food is fluid) I posit that for ev⍚
T: The definition cannot be fluid because, as one species, we all have about the same substance toler⍚
A: But there are cultural divisions. A person from somewhere in the East, say, China, would consider certain substances food that Westerners might never⍚
T: Yes, but that is blurring the concepts of cuisine and food. It cannot be denied that however horrible, insects can be counted as a nutritional intake known as "food," while francium is not.
A: I wish to deny this. Not everything edible is food, not everything with nutritional value is food.⍚
T: Insects are a recognized food in most of the world, though I wo⍚
A: Popular recognition is not the point of discussion! The point of discussion is whether certain substances that would provide nutrients and be edible could be considered something other than food. There certainly mu⍚
T: Not to keep defending insects, but I must point out, that it is an ancient food, only recently popular in the West. My point is that, though I do not eat them, and think it disgusting, they are food, and that is because they can provide the necessary complexities, and nutrients, and fullness to⍚
A: Perhaps, though, there is a resource that is not consumed as food because it is inaccessible, yet still fills all the requirements of your definition. With the vastness of our planet, yea, the entire universe, surely there is something. I posit that it is not food if it is not consumed.
T: Consider the Columbian exchange. Were not foods introduced to both worlds, which were previously unknown but sti⍚
A: Even if they were unknown to one side does not mean th⍚
T: As I was building towards, Modern technology has allowed us to access previously unknown, or impossible food source, yet they were always there, food waiting to be eaten.
A: Does food that is not known of, has not been discovered, and has not and will not ever be consumed fall under the definition of food, though?
T: Yes, that food, though it is impossible to eat, will wait forever to be eaten, though none may come to eat it.
A: But how can it provide nutrients if it is never ingested?
T: It has the potential to, though; uranium does not actively destroy, but the potential is there.
A: So you mean to say that anything with the qualities you have outlined, and the potential to be consumed, is food?
T: Yes.
The definitions have greatly changed since they were first stated at the beginning of the argument. Since we are fast running out of room, here they are once again.
Thomas' Definition
- Food must be complex.
- It should have a variant of C6H12O6.
- It should have nutrition.
- It should be at least semi-solid.
Adam's Definition
In order for anything to be considered food, it must:
- not be liquid or gaseous (plasma doesn't count, silly!),
- be eaten for pleasure (whether it is a snack at a gathering, or simply a meal with one's family) by somebody,
- be non-toxic to the majority of people in any population.
The debate will continue in the next issue of the Shield – see you then!

From the Pacific Justice Institute (one of the purported "Hate Groups" identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center) comes this Press Release regarding the month of October, commemorated as "LGBT History Month" and a warning to parents about what may be taught in schools:
The organizers of LGBT History Month annually select 31 "icons" of LGBT history that they urge schools and students to learn about and celebrate, one for each day in October. The list is posted at [NOPE, not linking there]…..
Perhaps most concerning to parents this year will be the inclusion of CeCe McDonald, who was released from prison earlier this year after serving time in the killing of a man who had insulted her. CeCe was charged with second-degree murder and accepted a plea of second degree manslaughter after fatally stabbing the man with scissors. CeCe is presented in LGBT History Month as a "prison reformer" who brought attention to the plight of transgender inmates.
Works by several of the other individuals included on this year's list would not otherwise be allowed in schools, or most homes. For example, a music video of "icon" John Cameron Mitchell has been deemed too explicit to be shown on MTV Europe. Comedienne "icon" Margaret Cho's routines are replete with vulgarity not permitted in school. And kids who want to learn more about "icon" Natalie Barney will read that she decried fidelity and instead advocated for adultery.
Last year, the number of school districts officially celebrating LGBT History Month grew to include Los Angeles, Fresno, Philadelphia, Charlotte, and two counties in Florida. In most districsts around the country, LGBT History Month is promoted with posters and other materials by the Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) student clubs, and by individual teachers, without advance notice to parents. In 2011, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie suggested that a teacher should be fired for criticizing LGBT History Month on her personal Facebook page.
Whatever "good" they've done for the LGBT movement and regardless of sexual orientation, the idea that killers, potty-mouths, and advocates of marital infidelity are being elevated as "icons" or heroes for students to learn about in school is repugnant, and sad.

Evelyn | Week 43 Caterpillar
Evelyn Rose
298 days new | Topeka, KS
Evelyn is honoring her daddy with this weeks photos. Jeremy works as a welder at Caterpillar in Wamego building buckets. So of course Evelyn just happens to have toy excavator and dump trucks and a Caterpillar shirt Jeremy got from work. And of course I just had to take photos of them. This week I wanted to do my editing a little differently. I wanted a dreamy scene showing Evelyn playing in a painted background with mountains, trees and a bright sky. I may just be winging it but I really like the way the effect came out. I also played around a little more with textured backgrounds in the last two shown. My subject was being absolutely adorable the whole time giving the cutest facial expressions.

The 'In-Betweens'
Lately, I've been caught up in the 'in-betweens'.
For some people that might be an easy place to avoid, but for me it is a common occurrence. I so easily get caught up in the places between where I am and where I aim to be. It can be in the simplest of things, like caught between the sending of a letter and the reply, or it can be between the big things, like graduating college and amounting to who I strive to be in the future – a man, a husband, a father, a storyteller.
Either way I get stuck. When what I was is passing away and what I wish for is yet to come who I am now seems so insignificant. What I am doing currently seems nothing compared to the imaginations of my youth and the dreams of whats in store.
This view, however, is beginning to change for me.
Two weeks ago I was in a stadium filled with 44,000 people just like me. Not only was the place packed to the brim, but voices stacked on top of voices as we sang out, ever filling the space between us. And though thousands of words were spoken during that time there are 7 specific words that keep repeating in my head: "God's will for you is right now." I heard these words as Louie Giglio either opened or closed the week (I can't recall which). Over and over again I hear them as I moved through out the day: "God's will for you is right now." Day after day and week after week I heard them over and over and over and over again. They repeated and repeated and repeated.
So the other night I took some time to reflect on them. I decided to stop going online, to stop watching Netflix, to stop writing, and to just be. I picked up a book called, 'Indescribable' by Louie Giglio and Mat Redman and began to explore pictures of the Universe. There were supernovas, nebulas, and constellations; there were stars, suns, and planets. Wow! The universe was so vast and so beautiful – it was so beyond me.
It was in this moment that these words made sense: "God's will for you is right now. Right now, in this moment, something is going down. Right here, in these seconds, beauty is being discovered. Surrounding you, this very minute, is the world, is the universe, and you are exploring a book within a room within a state within a country within a continent within that world within that Universe. God has a purpose for this moment, for this second, for this millisecond, for this time of Sabbath."
Suddenly, when I least expected the 'in-betweens' ceased to be the 'in-betweens' to become the beginning and the discovery; the accomplishment and the result.
In a flash they became all I ever imagined and all I ever dreamed.
What are some ways you can live in the moment?
(Psalm 84)
Check out this video as you reflect on the above question:
'Be Here Now' by Blaine Hogan
2 responses to "The 'In-Betweens'"
Amy Lynn Wyman says :
Man, I loved his sermon so much. We were just talking about it in Ladies' Bible Study tonight! It's so hard today with people always asking "So what are you doing now? You graduated, what's next?" to not get wrapped up in the future to the detriment of the now. Listening to him it dawned on me that all the "destinations" our world throws at us and burdened us with are just lies from the Devil because he wants to ruin our contentment and distract us from our mission. The destination God has in mind is holiness and transformation into the very image of his Son and that's not something we get by doing or achieving or getting your master's degree or getting married and having the picket fence American dream. It's something he wants us to surrender to the Holy Spirit doing within us right now, irregardless (and sometimes because of) trials or dry patches. Sure I won't reach perfect holiness till I stand face to face with Him but he's bringing me into it now and I don't have to wait for marriage, or the perfect career, or the right timing to have intimacy with Him and that's really what it's all about and that's really what my soul is longing to be satisfied with.

You must submit these two forms to the Disability Management (DM) provider within 14 Calendar days following the start of your absence. (The DM provider requires both forms in order to render a decision).We recommend that you indicate your request to be represented by APOC, by doing so you are assured to be well represented by a specialist if required at the Final Appeal Stage.It is advisable for you to also take a copy of your job description with you to the doctor, so that they know what your job entails. You can access your job description by clicking on the following link on Intrapost.http://intranet.mailposte.ca/html/branches/resources/supervision/new_job_eval-e.shtmlOnce youve done this and the page opens up, you need to scroll down to the Job Descriptions then click on the one that applies to you.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1983
Missing: program to use kernel 2.2's TV stuff
Last modified: 2014-03-16 22:09:15 EDT
Kernel 2.2 includes decent video support for a lot of modern
TV cards. However I don't see a userland program to control
them in RH5.9
Perhaps "xawtv" would be a good choice - it is GPL licence
and moderately mature.
This will be a powertools candidate.
Why not add GRadio as well? I build the Linux/alpha RPM it's REALLY
small (75k RPM, 23k SRPM) and a nice addition.
I understand program bloat, but if you going include TV stuff you
might as well have the radio stuff too.
tv support is now included in powertools.tv support is now included in powertools.

MD Heath Pilates is a great program not just for the young, but for the young at heart!
What are the Benefits of Pilates if You're Over 60?
1. Improved Overall Strength & Maintain Muscle: One of the biggest causes of lack of mobility and reduction in your freedom to move and do the things you would like to do in your life is a lack of strength. Age only has a minor impact on strength; it is due much more to lack of strength training. Clinical Pilates is excellent for building strength, in a safe, controlled and supervised environment
2. Improved Balance & Reduce Risk of Falls: MD Health Pilates has a strong element that works on balance as well as strength. Balance can be tested and exercises specifically designed to address the factors that have the biggest affect on your balance
3. Manage Type 2 Diabetes: Strength training has been shown to be an important element in helping manage diabetes, by improving muscle mass and the number of glucose senses in muscle, improving glucose management in diabetes
4. Improved Quality of Life: The biggest and most important reason for doing Clinical Pilates is that you will find that the things you want to do with your life such as, gardening, looking after your grandkids, going travelling, playing golf will become easier and your body should not limit you in doing these activities
What is Involved?
After your initial, full body assessment, we will customise your Pilates program to meet your individual goals and needs. You can attend MD Health Pilates once or twice a week (ideally twice a week) and each session is supervised, controlled and monitored by our Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists, to make sure all exercises meet your needs.
All classes can be claimed on your private health insurance if you have extras cover.
Special Discounts Just for the Seniors:
We offer discounted rates during Mondays to Thursdays from 10AM to 4PM and Fridays from 10AM to 2PM. However, MD Health's normal operating hours are Mondays to Thursdays from 7am until 9pm; Fridays and Saturdays from 7am until 2pm. Please come for a chat or a visit at 737 High Street, East Kew or call us on 9857 0644.

Subject: 7 yr old neutered cat
Reply-To: Janet Woodall <firstname.lastname@example.com>Yogi is approximately 7 years old. My husband ran across him at a local drive-in food place when he was a kitten and fearing he would eventually be run over decided to bring him home. He's a big boy! At his most recent vet visit for the feline AIDS/leukemia test (which he passed), his weight was a little over 18 lbs. He is current on shots and "revolution"ized monthly for flea control. He will be due for his annual vet visit in February of 2016. He had a complete physical (x-rays and blood work) less than a month ago. All his vet records can be supplied. Until just over a year ago he had 2 companion cats with which he got along well, particularly the other neutered male manx. All 3 were indoor/outdoor cats; all 3 were "rescues". Based on their hunting/survival skills we are 99% sure a bobcat got the other 2 cats and also believe Yogi's size is what saved him. He started out a fairly independent soul but is getting more affectionate with age. He comes up more and more ofter seeking physical affection (rub under the chin please). He has always liked people and enjoys supervising when we are outside. He sleeps with us in bed and likes to curl up around my head on the pillow. About the only thing that scares him (other than the vacuum) is setting up an ironing board. He's a sweet cat and you can see by the photos he's a beautiful orange and white color with a fairly long coat. I hope someone will give him the home that he deserves.

The Story:
Glu Mobile's Cooking Dash is a new, fast paced, time management cooking game where its main character, Flo cooks her way to TV fame as a celebrity chef. Having run the campaign for 6 months, performance was starting to erode, with cost of installs gradually creeping up.
Glu Mobile was looking to revitalize campaign performance and reduce acquisition costs.
Glu Mobile knew that to leverage oCPM to the fullest, new high quality creatives were needed, especially on a highly visual platform like Instagram.
Strong Talent Pool
ReFUEL4 designers were activated for the brief, with clear creative direction depicting in-game food dishes to blend in a real life environment. Designers were activated from within ReFUEL4's 10,000 strong talent base. ReFUEL4's unique strength is focusing the design intuition and perspectives from this rich global talent pool.
Data Driven Design
Once ads were submitted, our proprietary neural network, the SHAKA Engine, analyzed and ranked each ad, correlating previous campaign performance, vertical specific data, targeting information and compositional analysis of the ad design. This ranking adds an analytical layer over subjective choice – ads are chosen because they are most likely to perform well.
Powering A/B Testing Via Rich Creative Iteration
ReFUEL4's deep talent pool produced over 40 ads in under 48 hours. By leveraging design intuition, performance data and insights, the ads took directions that were richly creative, and enabled Glu to take full advantage of Facebook's oCPM function.
Greater Creative Depth
As the campaign unfolded, designers were informed by performance data, giving them insights to further creatively iterate on designs that were proving to work.
Instagram-centric Creative Direction
Understanding the nuances of the Instagram platform was critical – the SHAKA engine pointed the creative direction towards blending real life photos with game graphics as being potentially more high performing.
Through ReFUEL4, Glu Mobile widened the audience reach and drove new mobile game installs via Instagram Ad Solutions for its Cooking Dash mobile game.
– 40 new Instagram-centric ads were created within 48 hours
– Increased app installs by 25% over the previous campaign period
– Halved the cost of install to $4
– Improved iOS game ranking from 147 to 53

Article Title
The Effects of Sexually Explicit Words on the Formation of Stimulus Equivalence Classes
Document Type
Stimulus equivalence is a behavioral approach to the analysis of the "meaning" of stimulus sets. The formation of three-member (A-->B-->C) stimulus equivalence classes was used to investigate the effects of three different sets of sample and comparison stimuli on emergent behavior. The three stimulus sets were composed of sexually explicit words, sexually ambiguous words, and a third category of neutral words. Forty-one female and male subjects participated in a modified matching-to-sample experiment. Using a mixed crossover design, subjects received training and emergent relationship training in the three stimulus set conditions, controlling for serial order effects. Results revealed a significant interaction between the formation of stimulus equivalence classes and stimulus "meaning," indicative of consistently biased responding in favor of reaching criterion responding more slowly for the sexually explicit words. Results were examined in the context of an analysis of the importance of stimulus "meaning" on behavior, and the relation of stimulus "meaning" to behavioral and cognitive theories, with special appraisal given to the influence of sexually related discriminative stimuli on behavior.

A New Jersey couple recently filed a new Zofran lawsuit, claiming that manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) is liable for their child's birth defects. This is one of many similar lawsuits pending in federal and state courts across the country.
GSK recently filed a motion requesting consolidation of all federal Zofran lawsuits into the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Consolidation, they stated, would help avoid duplicative and conflicting rulings and would make pre-trial proceedings more convenient for all parties involved.
Baby Suffers From Severe Case of Club Foot
According to the complaint filed by the New Jersey couple, the mother took Zofran to treat the severe morning sickness she experienced early in her pregnancy. Her case was so difficult that she was hospitalized with symptoms of nausea and dehydration just weeks after conception. She continued to take Zofran for the duration of her pregnancy.
The plaintiff gave birth to a son in September 2011. The boy was diagnosed with a severe case of "clubfoot," which is a congenital birth defect affecting the shape of the foot. In this case, both feet were deformed.
Doctors proceeded to correct the deformities with a number of techniques, including straightening and casting the feet and legs, and fitting the child with a "Mitchell's shoe" on each foot. This is a type of brace meant to keep the foot in the correct position. A metallic bar was also used to connect both feet, to further assist in correcting the defect. The boy also had to go through tendon surgery, in which surgeons attempted to lengthen the Achilles tendon to help better align the feet.
These types of treatments continued through the first several years of the child's life. All caused him to suffer not only discomfort and pain, but sleep difficulties, blisters and sores on his feet, and delayed developmental progress.
Despite all these treatments, the child was unable to learn to walk correctly. His parents claim that because of the defect, he not only suffered numerous uncomfortable and expensive medical treatments, but has also suffered socially because of his inability to walk right. He is now three years old and still has to wear the Mitchell shoes at night. The family now faces the prospect that he will have to undergo additional medical treatments, including a potential tendon transplant.
GSK Fined for Misleading Zofran Advertisements
Zofran was never approved by the FDA for the treatment of morning sickness in pregnant women. Instead, GSK advertised it as an "off-label" treatment to doctors and expectant mothers, even though they had no human studies to back up the drug's safety in this population.
In 2012, GSK paid $3 billion in fines after the Department of Justice determined that they had engaged in illegal marketing activities, some of which included their misleading advertisements of Zofran as a safe and effective treatment for morning sickness. The agreement with the government added that the company had paid illegal remuneration to health care professionals to induce them to promote and prescribe Zofran.
The parents in this Zofran lawsuit bring counts of negligence, fraudulent misrepresentation and concealment, breach of warranties, strict products liability, and failure to warn.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md., (March 31, 2016) – MGM National Harbor, the luxury resort casino opening later this year in Prince George's County, Maryland, will celebrate spring as a parade float sponsor at the 2016 National Cherry Blossom Festival. The annual National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade will take place on Saturday, April 16 from 10 a.m. to Noon in downtown Washington, D.C.
As one of the Capital Region's largest spectator events, the National Cherry Blossom Festival Parade features giant, colorful helium balloons, elaborate floats, marching bands from across the country, celebrity entertainers, and other performers. The parade, which attracted more than 160,000 spectators from around the world in 2015, runs 10 blocks along Constitution Avenue, from the National Archives to the Washington Monument.
"We are proud to partner with the National Cherry Blossom Festival to celebrate an historic and beloved tradition in Washington, D.C. As a member of this community, we are committed to recognizing and supporting the very best of what our diverse region has to offer," said Lorenzo Creighton, President and Chief Operating Officer for MGM National Harbor.

He will be joined by employee volunteers from MGM National Harbor marching in full force along the parade route. The parade will be broadcast locally and syndicated nationally.
Creighton added, "Our company is known for providing world-class entertainment and generating excitement on a grand scale. This parade float sponsorship allows us to give a little taste of what's to come at our new resort when it opens later this year."
The National Cherry Blossom Festival also is an acknowledgement of the long-standing ties between the United States and Japan, which first gifted the trees more than 100 years ago. Annually, the city and the region celebrate springtime and welcome more than a million people to the area. Now through April 17, visitors to the Tidal Basin can enjoy the pink and white cherry blossom trees and participate in festival activities ranging from live musical performances and kite flying to fireworks and a Japanese street festival.

The popularity of European River Cruises
European River Cruises have enjoyed a consistent upward demand curve for quite a few years now and many of the dominant players have high numbers of repeat travelers. Blonde and Brunette are enthusiastic river cruise advocates. We have done 4 in a little over a year and have already booked 2 for 2016.
Why are European River Cruises so popular? There's the much-touted and entirely legitimate answer of you only have to unpack once. There's the convenience of often being able to dock where you can walk right into a town or city to explore. Another biggee is that this way of cruising is the solution for those who get seasick (doesn't happen on river cruises) or anxious if they can't see shore (just look out the window). The only downside is that there's a lot of wonderful food and adult beverages included in the cruise price.
Why is that a downside? Because it can make the numbers on your scale go up! And, even with the walking involved in your shore excursions, your fitness level may go down.
How you can stay fit on a European River cruise
Choose a European River cruise itinerary that incorporates fitness
Some European river cruise providers are getting imaginative and building fitness as an option into their itineraries. One that caught our always roving eyes is CroisiEurope's river cruise/biking itinerary in Bordeaux along the Garrone River. Each day offers a choice of bicycling trips of various lengths. What's really great about this is when was the last time you saw a river flow uphill?
Blonde did 3 different quite strenuous bicycling trips in Europe in the last century. But none of those trips (with the exception of one 10 mile stretch along The Danube) were flat terrain. Most of them had way too many hills and required months of training to even be able to do them (even allowing for being the last person to straggle back every day).
After all, we're talking about maintaining fitness, not training for the Tour de France!
Wear a FitBit, pedometer or other tracking device/nag
Blonde is FitBit obsessed because she loves to tell on herself and compete with herself. (No one ever said good mental health is important if you want to be a travel blogger.) So she fastens one of her FitBits to her waist or wrist every day. Then she gets in her 10,000 daily steps with obsessive determination.
Many days on European river cruises she has been able to get her "required" steps in just by doing the regular shore outings; assuming that they are walks and not bus rides. If they're bus rides she may be that annoying person walking long laps around the deck when everyone gets back to the ship. Then she goes back to her room and checks the FitBit app on her phone and logs in her progress.
For less compulsive and record-keeping types just a $10 pedometer will track your steps. But it's best to set a goal, not only to count. If you track your steps for the day and at the end it says 134 then get off your duff and start moving!
Download an App for a short exercise program you can do in a small space
Very few (if any) river cruise ships have fully equipped gyms (it's more important to have room for a fully equipped bar). But just because there isn't a gym and you don't want to be toting equipment with you around the world doesn't mean you can't do any strength training.
The New York Times has a scientifically validated (and I think we can agree that we all see scientists as Gods of Fitness) 7 minute free workout app. There's also an advanced version that is included.
The routine takes very little space or time and does not require any equipment or special clothing. (Now, if you're tied up beside another European river cruise ship and doing this in your skivvies, please close your blinds. The world is scary enough as it is.)
You can also find lots of exercise programs designed for small spaces if you search on YouTube. And if you're like a certain travel blogger you can spend a lot of time watching those instead of, say, writing a blogpost about how to maintain you fitness on a river cruise..
Don't forget to stay hydrated
Being hydrated is always important but especially so when you are exerting effort to maintain your fitness. Blonde drinks a glass of water for every glass of wine but some days it's hard to drink 17 glasses of water…
Our personal definition of success after a European river cruise is to go home without having lost (much) of our fitness and not having gained weight.
Not losing fitness is the most likely goal to be achieved.
You might want to ask someone else for advice on the "how to not gain weight on a river cruise" goal.
FTC Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. Blonde has to find some way to pay for an expensive camera lens she wants.

Last night I rented United 93, a film I had had no desire to see. I was swayed by the number of British publications that voted it film of the year (or at least in the running). I should have trusted my instincts. The film has absolutely nothing to recommend it. Are UK critics demented? Or is there a more complex explanation for this grotesque miscarriage of taste? The film is dull, stodgy, self-important, and devoid of any suspense or excitement. It attempts to a be a raw, gritty doucmentary renactment of "what happened," but since no one knows exactly what that is, it is just a crock. The only reason it was so well-received, I'd wager, is because the subject matter (9/11, specifically the 4th airplane that did not reach its target due to the passengers overpowering the hijackers; it came down in Pennsylvania and everyone died) is regarded with such hushed reverence that the movie enjoyed a kind of critical immunity. But what on earth is so goddamn special about 9/11 or about a bunch of passengers dying to save the whitehouse (this hardly makes them heroes in my book!)? It is just one more incident of "tragic" mass death in a world rife with such incidents.
It's ironic that after the event, Hollywood movies about terrorism were considered both bad business and bad taste; six years later, a movie about the event its regarded as the height of taste, artistry, and good commercial acumen. But it is just another movie, and in fact, a lot duller and less riveting than any number of bomb-on-airplane type movies you could name. The very thing that it is being praised for (its excruciating "realism" and muggy air of reverence) is precisely what makes it so tedious.
I think the reason people remain so in awe of 9/11 and continue to regard it as some great tragedy is that for once, a global catastrophe had repercussions on their own personal lives; it made people feel threatened and insecure. Ironically, this is the one solid justification that (objectively) one might raise in defense of the terrorists' actions: that they intended (and briefly succeeded) to wake people up and make them question the kind of society they were living in and dependent on, and question their own lives, too. But people do not appreciate being disturbed in their zombie slumber, and I think the hatred and resentment of "terrorists" has as much or more to do with this fact than with any compasison for the "innocent" victims.
None of these questions are raised by United 93, of course. The film is arrogant and complacent enough to assume that its subject matter is of such profound interest to everyone that it does not need to dress it up with any kind of dramatic artistry or character depth or much of anything at all. It is like a channel 4 documentary renactment, drawn out to an endless two hours. There is absolutley nothing controversial or daring about the film, but for some reason it was greeted as a work of art. But what I saw was a crock of shit. Further confirmation that critics are not to be trusted. Avoid this film like the plague of political correctness that it is.

Dandy in the Underworld: The Libertine
It's extremely rare to come across a film with so sincere an artistic intent as The Libertine that isn't also stodgy, pretentious, and self-important. Mercifully, the subject matter does not allow for a moment's pomp or circumstance here. The film tells the tale of the resolutely dissolute nihilistic dandy, the Earl of Rochester John Wilmot, who drank and fucked with all the vigor of a one-man revolution against the hypocrisy of his society. With such a perverse protagonist as its center, the film is a tragedy that demands to be taken at least partway as comedy, and this is what the filmmakers have done with it (for the first half at least). As played by Johnny Depp (in a triumphant return to transformative brilliance), the Earl is fiercely intelligent and ferociously decadent, his decadence being both a twisted expression of and a desperate refuge from his relentless intelligence. Depp's Earl is as bawdy and scintillating a character as we could ever hope to have as a guide through the dour and effete corridors of period melodrama (fear not, this is definitely not Merchant and Ivory terrain). In fact, he's a blast, and from the very first moments, when he warns us we are going to be repelled by him and his story, Depp commands the screen with mesmerizing assurance. He creates a historical protagonist both eerily credible and at the same time deliriously entertaining. The same could be said of the film itself, which manages to find an almost miraculous balance between the austerity of historical melodrama and the freewheeling intensity of psychodrama. The Libertine is an imaginative portrait of the soul-searching of an artist unafraid to explore a truly fascinating subject: that of his own twisted psyche. At the same time, it is just such imaginative soul-searching—on the part of the artists who made the film—that have created a work of unusual subtlety and insight.
In the hands of Depp, playwright Stephen Jeffreys, and director Laurence Dunmore (with a little help from history), Wilmot is an almost perfect movie creation. The wayward nephew of King Charles II, Wilmot is a brilliant mind and tormented soul wrapped up in a handsome, pathologically sensuous body. He is driven by passions he cannot express to extremes few people dare to experience, extremes that will eventually bring about his death (ostensibly from small pox). It's hard to imagine a richer, more rewarding role for an actor to play than a self-destructive genius who is also a hedonist, and Depp's delight is evident in every scene, suffusing the film with dark, sensuous energy. Yet Wilmot is more than the sum of his parts, and Depp and the filmmakers never stoop to conquer us; they never reduce their character to manageable dimensions. Instead, they allow the Earl to remain enigmatic and obscure, both loathsome and lovable—his very own self, lost to history.
When Wilmot takes on the failing actress Elizabeth (Samantha Morton), for example, and promises to turn her into the greatest player on the London stage, we (and she) may begin to glimpse a noble soul beneath the tawdry airs and vulgar antics. Wilmot confesses to her his inability to feel passion in his own life and his need to experience it vicariously, through art and its various expressions. It is ironic, then, that his whole life—looking back upon it with the perspective of distance—should itself seem like a work of art, one in which all the human passions, the basest and most foul and the loftiest and most sublime, are enacted. These scenes between Svengali Wilmot and his winsome but ruthless apprentice are the heart of the film, and they are the toughest to pull off. Depp and Morton and the melodramatic dialogue are greatly assisted by Dunmore's roving, hand-held camera here, and what might otherwise have been staged histrionics comes off as genuine pathos, laced with something eerie and surreal. We, like Wilmot, are unsure when his protégé is performing and when she is expressing her own true feelings. Reality and artifice, feeling and simulation, shift and blend into each other, giving the scenes a giddy, mercurial, faintly hallucinogenic quality. Yet at the same time, the unexpressed tenderness between the two, seemingly disparate characters hints at genuine tragedy: both are equally damned in their own way. In such moments, The Libertine captures the bitter elixir of impossible desire. Both the Earl and Elizabeth suffer from the same disease, and the actors convey beautifully their ache of longing, their need for acceptance on their own terms, for a moment of sweetness in the endless despair.
There are flaws, of course (John Malkovich's false nose for one, and the Earl's abandoning his drinking mate to die in a street brawl seems meant to be more powerful than it is); but there's nothing to account for the reception the film received from critics, which was at best tepid and at worst scornful. While torpid, self-important drudgery like Amadeus is greeted with ecstatic reverence, The Libertine—easily one of the best historical movies ever made, and one of a handful of truly contemporary period dramas alongside Dangerous Liaisons and The Duelists—is sniffed at and dismissed as preposterous and risible nonsense. The only explanation I can think of for this travesty of judgment is that the subject matter was simply too unpalatable for most critics to come to grips with. The film's treatment—from the superb script to the production design, the blissfully loose, almost dogme-style direction—is impeccable, and beyond reproach. Everyone involved with the movie seems to have been inspired to outdo themselves. And unlike almost any other recent film you could name, The Libertine is actually about something. It lives and breathes as a work, organic and complete, populated by a host of characters all of whom also live and breath, individual portraits within a greater composition, which is all of a piece.
I can think of no other film that comes so close to portraying, in colors both beautiful and obscene but always true, the appalling paradox of the dandy nihilist for whom pleasure is an expression of his torment. The Libertine is a superlatively performed, beautifully written, and admirably balanced portrait of a truly Luciferian character. In the Earl's melancholic dementia, we are shown how the intellectual man, when he cannot find meaning or fulfillment in society, by virtue of his immense superiority is obliged to reject the values upon which that society is founded. The Earl willfully seeks out the inverse of these values as a means to expose the rotten hypocrisy and mediocrity of lesser minds. Yet how quickly and tragically—how inevitably—his rebellious urge turns, by slow, agonizing degrees, into the indulgence of the senses, the will for self-immolation and destruction. With his superior intellect, Wilmot is able to see through the lies of both faith and reason and is compelled to seek the only feasible reality or truth left him, that of pure animal sensation, bodily existence, and the sweet authenticity of lust. Is there anything quite so lost (so damned) as this?
In its own admirably unassuming way, the film reveals the path of the senses as the very hardest path of all to the divine. The deceptive allure of the flesh is, if anything, even more blinding and intoxicating than the heady pleasures of the intellect. Wilmot's despairing mind drives him to an intensification of experience via sensual gratification; yet at the same time, he is seeking freedom from the intellect through lust, and the two opposing drives add up to a recipe for damnation. The road of excess is one few have the courage or strength to travel, and is as likely to lead to the gates of hell as the palace of wisdom. The Libertine is a profoundly heart-breaking yet curiously uplifting archetypal tale, one that critics (mostly male) reviled the world over, damning themselves with their prudery and squeamishness and what can only amount to a lack of courage and an incapacity to appreciate the devastating truths on display. The film they rejected offers up the quintessence of tragedy: the lofty soul dragged down to basest bodily depths through the self-loathing of the personality. As the Earl himself warns from the start, "You will not like me." Apparently few people did, or the movie either.
Some lives—and some movies—cut a little close to the bone and reveal just how distorted and blackened the human soul can be, and must be, for its completeness to shine. By rejecting the movie, more weak-hearted, lily-livered viewers were able to reject the message also, that of the possibility of greatness and depravity co-existing, feeding off (and upon) one another in a dreadful complicity that makes moral judgments impossible. The Libertine shows in bald and brazen colors that the greater the potential for goodness is, the greater the temptation towards evil becomes. This is not a message that most decent, God-fearing critics care to contend with, evidently. Dostoyevsky once wrote that it is harder to be a great sinner than a great saint. The only real greatness—wholeness—is in having the courage to be both.
That the movie was reviled and rejected only confirms the paltry hypocrisy of the timid, soulless world it depicts, that the Earl rejects, with his own life as a sacrifice to the cause of universal revolt. Greatness will always be tested by the world, and will either be destroyed by it or brought to full fruition (for some, destruction may be the only possible fruition). The Libertine aspires after greatness. I think it achieves it; the world begged to differ. Time will tell which of us was right.
It's difficult to express just how impressed I was by this film (especially considering how little impressed most viewers seem to have been), without getting carried away by my own enthusiasm. The Libertine is monumentally, heroically ambitious; it attempts to portray a truly unique historical figure and get at the root of his madness; at the same time, it is perfectly scaled to ordinary human emotions. The film's ambitions never interfere with the telling of its story: they are not the ambitions of hubris, the desire to aggrandize a work beyond its station; they are from a simple desire to do full justice to the subject, a determination not to flinch from presenting it in a fully rounded light, and a need to be absolutely ruthless and honest in doing so. There is nothing superfluous in The Libertine—everything is put to good use, every line of dialogue, every shot, every set, every performance (and there are some dandies here, every one of them offers some surprises), all are woven together to form a tapestry both pleasingly simple in design and deceptively intricate in detail. It's a work of pathos and beauty that comes not just from the hearts of those who made it but from their souls. A movie that that manages to be both heartrending and hugely entertaining at the same time, that shows the tragedy and comedy of the human condition, without shying away either from the horror or the sensuality of it, can only be considered an authentic work of art.
The Earl would be proud. His revolt was not in vain.

Inside a Moral Vaccum: Scorsese's New Clothes
I recently saw The Departed and admittedly it was a pirate copy (a perfectly good image but it jumped around a lot), so I can't be sure how much the film lost as a result; but what I saw was an incomprehensible mess and probably the sloppiest filmmaking Scorsese has ever done. Yet the critics raved; many of them even chose it as their film of the year. Are they no longer able to distinguish between intention and result, I wonder, or between the reputation of the maker and the brutal fact of the film itself? These days, even an incontestable stinker like Eyes Wide Shut gets a rapid revisionist take and becomes a "classic" in order for the critical consensus that has canonised Kubrick to remain intact. (As far as revisionist history goes, it's easier to believe the holocaust never happened than accept EWS as a great movie.)
The best way to comprehend the mathematical concept of infinity is to contemplate the stupidity of film critics. But it forces me to question whether I am in the right line of work.
There is a kind of collective dementia running our world. Of course, anyone with the most rudimentary degree of awareness has known that for a long time, and one can even get used to it and find humor in it, when an inarticulate moron like GWB becomes president of the USA. With global exploitation and political corruption reaching new lows of depravity, what is most exasperating is not that it continues to exist, but that one's fellow humans persist in pretending it doesn't, in voting, watching the news, expressing political opinions, just as if any of it had the least baring on what is really happening behind the scenes.
It's not the malevolent iniquity of the dark power elite that bugs me, but the docile acquiesence of the masses. After all, I am forced to live with the latter, at least to some extent, whereas the evil elite doen't really cross my path too often. Ditto with movies. I don't really care if once-gifted filmmakers churn out lifeless, over-stylized but basically worthless, clunky drek like The Departed; it's to be expected, after all. What I really object to is that they get praised to the skies for doing it, and often damned for their best work (Scorsese' Bringing Out the Dead, for example, easily his most impresive film in the last 25 years, and of course the critics ignored it.) How are they even to know when they have delivered the goods, if no one tells it to them straight?
People get the leaders they deserve; and if audiences get served up endless movie shite then it serves them right for taking it and having such lousy taste. What's really demoralizing is that they actually seem to enjoy it. There is a legion of tasteless and moronic film critics to misguide them.
Where oh where is dame Kael to point out the emperor's nakedness to the world and bring shame upon the emperor's head?
It's a lousy job to be a bearer of ethical/aesthetic sanity inside a moral vaccum; but someone sure has to do it

A Plethora of Elvises, A Plenitude of Chers -- All in Las Vegas
Inpersonators Convention Abounded in Shanias; Poor Rodney Dangerfield
LAS VEGAS -- Arnold Schwarzenegger married Shania Twain at a casino here last month, Jack Nicholson gave a motivational speech and Michael Jackson did a moonwalk. Almost nobody recognized Rodney Dangerfield sitting alone on a bar stool.
Then there were the four Elvises, all of them most certainly impostors. But then nearly everyone was a phony at the Imperial Palace Hotel and Casino for the Fourth Annual Celebrity Impersonators Convention held over four days beginning May 30. Knockoffs of the rich and famous gathered for their...

Despite a skyrocketing death toll and new attacks from the Islamic State in Syria, Russian president Vladimir Putin on Thursday cheered his military's achievements there.
"The [Syrian] statehood has strengthened, as well as the government structures and the armed forces of the Syrian Republic," Putin told a media forum in St. Petersburg. "It is obvious that we have completed our task there."
He added that the Syrian army has continued to make advances against ISIS, even though Russia pulled out some of its warplanes from Syria last month. The Russian air campaign started on Sept. 30.
The fighting in Syria has killed nearly half a million people in 5 years, according to the Syrian Center for Policy Research.
Putin said it's essential to prevent the collapse of the Syrian state to stem the flow of refugees to Europe, The Associated Press reports.
Putin also hailed the cease-fire which started on Feb. 27, brokered by Moscow and Washington. However, ISIS and Syria's Al Qaeda branch known as the Nusra Front don't have to abide by the truce.
Shortly before Putin's comments, a leader of the U.N.-backed humanitarian efforts for Syria said he was "disappointed" with recent efforts to get aid convoys into hard-to-reach and besieged areas, and called on the Damascus government to "live up to its promises."
Jan Egeland, the humanitarian aid adviser for the U.N.'s Syria envoy, told reporters on Thursday in Geneva that "April was supposed to be our best month" but that aid delivery is "not getting better and better, it's actually slowing down."
Egeland spoke during a break in U.N.-sponsored indirect talks between the Syrian government and the opposition delegation, which are to resume next week.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

In a large heavy pot (like a Dutch oven), heat 2 to 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees F.
Thoroughly wash the kale and remove the stems. Tear the leaves up into large bite-size pieces and dry them, either in a salad spinner or on paper towels.
Drop 5 to7 leaves in the hot oil at a time and fry until the kale is crisp and almost transparent, 60 to 90 seconds. Drain on a wire rack set over paper towels and season with kosher salt while hot.
Fry the cilantro leaves for a couple of seconds and drain on the same wire rack. Season with a bit more salt. Serve it as a snack or side dish.

Purses cut for new meet
GROVE CITY, Ohio - Beulah Park begins its 70-day winter-spring meeting Friday in what figures to be a pivotal year for Ohio's oldest track, which first opened in 1923.
The minimum purse at the meet is $3,800, down 24 percent from the corresponding meeting last year. Purses have been cut $200 per race since the conclusion of the fall meeting Dec. 22.
Ontrack business at Beulah has suffered in the past two years, since the track began competing for simulcasting dollars with Scioto Downs, a Standardbred track located a 10-minute drive east of Beulah. Under an agreement between the tracks, Beulah conducts daytime simulcasting and is closed at night, while Scioto handles night simulcast signals and is closed during the day.
Scioto was widely rumored to be on the verge of bankruptcy prior to being sold to MTR Gaming in December for approximately $19 million. MTR owns and operates Mountaineer Park, a West Virginia track that has enjoyed great success since adding slot machines several years ago.
Ohio's seven tracks, three Thoroughbred and four Standardbred, have unsuccessfully lobbied state legislators for slot machines the past several years. But Gov. Bob Taft, who was reelected by a wide margin in November, has repeatedly stated his opposition to the machines at the tracks.
Charles Ruma, president and majority owner of Beulah since 1986, said the track had a successful year financially in 2002, when its online betting service, AmericaTab, more than doubled its revenue to approximately $60 million. Events held at Beulah during the summer when the track is dark also produced revenue, offsetting declines in ontrack wagering. But Ruma said Ohio's tracks need slot machines in order to survive.
"We either get slot machines in the next three to four years or purses will continue to drop and conducting horse racing in the state will no longer be feasible," said Ruma.
Racing will be conducted four days per week - on Tuesdays, and Friday through Sunday - during both January and February. Thursdays will be added to the schedule in March. Racing will return to a four-day per week schedule when Tuesdays are dropped during the final month of the meet, which concludes on Kentucky Derby Day, May 3. First post is 1 p.m. Eastern.

A Quick Guide to Catering Advice
Have a get-together or an occasion; then you require a nourishment design. Who better to prepare for the stomach needs of your visitors than a catering association. When you have an event, you should loosen up and focus on more important things – the primary purpose behind the event. Along these lines, you are ensured that the occasion or assembling will be a win and you and your guest will have it good instead of overwhelming yourself on inconsequential issues that they can finish for you. A gathering needs to leave an excellent impression on the guests, and all these present themselves right from the event organisers and caterers that you select. If the food your guests eat is poorly prepared, this will leave a mark on your guests, a score of contention. No one needs such a problem from the enthusiastic occasion that is the reason you should be outstandingly attentive while getting your most adored cooking association. Cooking associations have developed in a general sense and have had some aptitude in covering events. We have wedding catering companies, event caterers and other caterers who offer the best cooking for their clients.
Event catering companies have a team of experts among their employees. Some stunning cooks get ready impeccable nourishment that your visitors will appreciate. On the off chance that your event profits by your favoured food provider, the satisfaction you experience will warrant you to search for their organisations each time you have an event. Best services favourite catering companies experience repetition of services. The nourishment supplier's part in every occasion is to convey a high impact and let the occasion run proficiently without the proprietor getting stressed over what to offer the guests. Once you go out searching for a catering company to hire there are a few things that you need to keep in mind. These principles will ensure that you get the best cooking association and acknowledge brilliant organisations once you have a gathering coming up.
The venue in which you are setting up your event is important because some venues offer catering to their clients. Before procuring one, it is critical to see whether they offer these administrations. You should dependably look for proposals from stable sources. The fortunate thing about providing food counsel is that they are straight forward and you can either get the reactions from the occasion participants or directly the customer who procured them. A wonderful place to seek these feedback information is from websites, so it is imperative to find a caterer who at least has a website. On this website, you can have firsthand information on what they offer, at what cost and their business portfolio mix. The food provider may even give spots to holding the occasion. The introductory information is necessary. It guarantees that you arrive on the best one you deserve.
Some other data to ask the food provider is their cost, menu decisions, booking time and their set up time. When you ask on the above and get your favoured nourishment supplier I am sure you will love it.
