It has to be all the talk of NY Fashion Week and my fond memories of back to school shopping that has me in the mood for fall fashion. It's certainly not the weather here in the DC area. It's super humid and supposed to be in the mid to high 80's all week. There is no sign of fall in sight. This weekend I took a little trip to my favorite outlet, Talbots, in search of bargains. I found two items that were on my list, a white blazer (originally $224 for $24.99!) and some fun ankle pants (mine are plaid). I also snagged a fantastic silver sequin top. It wasn't on my list but at $24 I couldn't pass it up. My shopping trip and the pile of September issue fashion mags on my coffee table inspired this post.
There are tons of trends on tap, as usual. These are some of my favorites. I'm already embracing the military, white and plaid trends. A leather skirt is on my list and I spied a brocade skirt at Talbots that I should have purchased but didn't. I may have to go back for it. Bordeaux is an easy trend to embrace. Graphic prints can be done in with a single piece like a top, dress or skirt instead of an entire outfit. A bit of menswear is fun, try a jacket, hat or some oxfords. You don't have to go full on Victor Victoria to wear this tread well.
This week, I'll be sharing my tips on how to fit these fall trends to your own personal style.

We continue to build our team with talented commercial leaders to help the organization reach its potential in establishing the AsepticSure system as the new gold standard for disinfection across a wide range of commercial applications.
Kalamazoo, MI (PRWEB) April 06, 2017
Medizone International, Inc. (MZEI:OB MZEI:QB) announces the addition of Dwayne Montgomery to the Board of Directors. Medizone makes this move in support of expanding the commercial experience of the team and accelerating the growth of the company's AsepticSure® hospital disinfection system.
"As Medizone International continues to move forward with our growth plans, it is important that we continue to build our team with talented commercial leaders to help the organization reach its potential in establishing the AsepticSure system as the new gold standard for disinfection across a wide range of commercial applications," commented David A. Esposito, Chairman of the Board and interim CEO of Medizone International. "As we execute on our global commercial plans for the AsepticSure system, we are pleased to announce that Dwayne Montgomery has joined our Board of Directors to help support our commercial strategy and business development initiatives."
Mr. Montgomery brings a tremendous amount of global commercial experience as a senior executive in high growth segments of healthcare to his role on the board. His accomplished career spans 25+ years and is documented with deep knowledge and success in medical device and biotech executive management. His commercial expertise is backed with a proven track record of operational performance as well as business development success through mergers and acquisitions with both domestic and international organizations.
Mr. Montgomery has led companies through significant growth periods with varying size, including large, mid-cap, and start-up ventures. Most recently, Mr. Montgomery served as the President and Chief Executive Officer for Osiris Therapeutics, Inc., a market leading company focused on advancing regenerative medicine. He was also a member of Osiris Therapeutics' Board of Directors. Most notably, Mr. Montgomery orchestrated Osiris Therapeutics' strategic partnerships with both Arthrex and Stryker, leaders in their respective healthcare segments. Mr. Montgomery graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry from the University of North Alabama and attained a Master of Business Administration degree from Belmont University.
Mr. Montgomery commented on joining the Board of Directors, "I am extremely honored to be joining the Board of Directors for Medizone International as we execute on our growth plans. I am impressed with this compelling and disruptive technology as well as its unique value-proposition. The AsepticSure system has the potential to be game-changing technology to address a significant unmet need in the market for more effective disinfection systems for hospitals, long-term care facilities, and a number of applications beyond the healthcare marketplace. I look forward to being a very active member of the Board of Directors to support the team in reaching our full commercial potential."
About Medizone International, Inc.
Founded initially in 1986 to develop treatments for lipid-enveloped viruses, Medizone International, Inc. shifted focus in 2007 in response to the increased prevalence and awareness of hospital acquired infections. The Company developed the AsepticSure system to combine anti-oxidant gases (O3 and H202) to produce unique free radicals (H2O3 known as trioxidane) with higher anti-oxidant potential than ozone or hydrogen peroxide alone. After securing broad IP protection for the use of trioxidane for both healthcare facility disinfecting systems and bioterrorism applications, the company released its AsepticSure system for use in Canada, and several other global markets. With EPA approval in late 2016, the company is now prepared to expand into the U.S. market. Learn more at http://www.medizoneint.com/.

Eat Less, Move More...
Years ago I found a really great computer program called Perfect Diet Tracker. It's a really easy way to keep track of calories in vs. calories out. The program will take your age and weight and calculate your calorie budget for the day. If you want to take off a couple of pounds, you can enter that, along with the time frame you want to lose the weight and it will subtract calories from your budget. I think of the budget as a kind of calorie "checkbook". I have a certain amount of calories that I can consume daily to either maintain or lose a couple of pounds. Over the years the program has been updated and now, instead of a finite number of foods in their database, it will search the internet for whatever food you put in. It certainly beats writing everything down in a food diary and looking up the calories and serving sizes to keep up with what I put in my mouth. It's not a fun process. I prefer the "shove it in your mouth by the handfuls and forget you ate it" philosophy. But sometimes, that kind of catches up to you and you notice your clothes are a little too tight. So, I log onto the program, and start weighing and measuring my serving sizes. Gulp. I eat very healthy, but it's the serving sizes that get me.
I'm also kind of an exercise nut. Not because I LOVE to exercise, but because I love what it does for me, especially when I'm logging what I put in my mouth. The endorphins from a good, hard workout can work miracles...make a bad day good, make food taste better, give me more patience and energy for the rest of my day, and sharpen my mind. It's also great when I'm tracking my food...I can enter the exercise I do for the day and voila...the program ADDS the calories burned to my allotted calories for the day!! So I can eat more! Yay!! It even takes into account your Basal Metabolic Rate, or the number of calories you burn in a day doing nothing. All you have to do is enter the exercise and it does all the calculations for you
Years ago I found a calorie burn chart that showed the calories burned per minute for every exercise you could think of, so I'm well aware of the exercise that burns the most per minute and that is what I focus on. More bang for the buck. Running, jumping rope, and biking will burn almost 600 calories an hour. Back in the 90's, when the cardio machines at the gym started showing the calories burned as you worked out, I became a slave to the number. I couldn't stop until I had burned off at least 600 calories. If I were running, I could do that in an hour, but stationary biking took an hour and a half. The Stairmaster and elliptical trainer showed even higher numbers, so I loved those machines. I remember my disappointment when I found out that those machines typically overestimated calories burned. It gets more difficult the older I get. I can't just jump on a machine for two hours a day and still function for the rest of my day. So I do a lot of cross training. Hard one day, easy the next.
Generally, I think this is a pretty healthy way to keep track of what goes in my mouth and what I'm doing to burn it off. It's like a quarterly checkup with your supervisor...just an accountability thing. If I want to eat mixed nuts and drink a couple of glasses of wine, I have to budget for it. Or work out longer. For my weight, the charts show that I burn about 92 calories per mile, so on the days I do a longer run than usual, I can usually have an extra glass of wine. It's like picking up an extra job to buy something special...You just exercise a little more and deposit more calorie burn in your "checkbook". A 5-oz. glass of white wine has 105 calories, so I just run a couple of miles to burn it off.
The problems come as you age. Your BMR drops, so your calorie "budget" drops, just to maintain. If you want to drop any weight, the calories allotted for your day drop to almost dangerous levels, so if you want to eat enough to have energy to exercise, you have to exercise more! It's a vicous cycle. Add to that the fact that as you age you need more recovery time between exercise sessions and your magic formula of just "move more eat less" gets much more difficult.
It's a common sense kind of thing. Moderation is the key. One glass of wine, not three. Eat the dessert, exercise a little more for a couple of days to burn it off. The program is pretty good, but you have to rely on sound principles. If I plug in my height and weight, and enter a target weight loss of three pounds in two weeks, it gives me a calorie budget of 1450 calories per day. If I want to maintain my weight, I can eat 1900 calories per day. All pretty reasonable.
It doesn't work miracles. If I put a weight loss goal of 6 pounds in one week, it gives me a calorie budget of NEGATIVE -1010 CALORIES per day! I think it actually forces you to be reasonable about your goals. When you shoot too high in the weight loss category (whether it's # of pounds or the time you give yourself to lose the weight), you can immediately see that it's ridiculous.
I'm a firm believer in moderation and making healthy lifestyle changes, not temporary diets, fasts or banning foods. But every once in awhile you just need a check up, to make sure that your "lifestyle" is still on the right track.

Offline Marketing Strategies
First, you've already primed them for a higher price, so when you offer the lower price, they're actually relieved and much more likely to say yes.
Second, in the back of their mind they're thinking, "If s/he is using my business as a case study, that means s/he's going to work extra hard to get good results." Which makes perfect sense, because you wouldn't want a case study that failed.
Third, you can use these case studies to bring in new clients. For example, let's say you performed a service for a plumber. Now you can contact plumbers in other cities and show them the exact results you achieved in that first plumbing business. When they see these specific results, they are much more likely to sign on.
The same goes for any other service you provide to local businesses, professionals, coaching clients, etc.
Show them your 'regular' price, then offer the option of getting a reduced price in exchange for allowing you to use them as a case study.
One caveat: In the case of personal coaching (versus business coaching) you might want to change their name in your case study to protect your client's privacy.

Imagine that the person with whom you have spent your life is in the hospital, and you are not being allowed to visit him or her. More than that, family members who have not spoken with your partner in decades are being entrusted with the health care, financial and possibly even funeral decisions that are rightfully yours to make. Even in New Jersey, where same sex marriage is legal, gays potentially run a higher risk of being shut out by unsupportive family-of-origin members. How can you avoid this nightmare scenario?
Having an estate plan can help you navigate these treacherous decisions. In fact, if properly implemented, a living will is a binding legal document. Health care providers may be charged with a crime if they do not abide by the patient's directives.
Living wills allow you to state preferences about medical treatment in the event that you become unable to do so. They also let you authorize a specific person to make medical decisions on your behalf and to communicate with healthcare providers to help ensure that your wishes are being followed.
The latter part is particularly necessary for couples in non-traditional unions. Ideally, it will preclude the possibility of a painful court battle about control of your life and death decisions. Certainly these decisions should be made by the person they most affect: you - and the person that you choose to trust with control of your life.
To learn more about how to navigate these decisions, watch in future posts for more about the new "Five Wishes" pamphlet, which is distributed by the Hospice of New Jersey and contains helpful information about making end-of-life decisions on behalf of your parents, your spouse or partner, and for yourself.

A blog by Islington Council's Armed Forces Champion, Cllr Gary Poole (St Mary's ward) -;
The beginning of November marks a poignant period in the civic year for our borough. This year, as we mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, the remembrance events of the past week have an added significance.
The crowds that have flocked to the Tower of London to see the magnificent and powerful poppies demonstrate the importance to people of remembering those that gave the ultimate sacrifice for us.
Here in Islington, 9,400 army personnel and residents lost their lives between 1914-1918. That's almost equivalent to the entire population of one whole ward of our borough.
The fields of France and Belgium, the sands of Egypt and the beaches of Gallipoli, all saw ordinary people from Islington fall in service of their country.
To emphasise and remember that it was ordinary people from Islington that went to fight in the First World War, but never returned home, Islington Council has established the 'The Streets They Left Behind' project.
Today, we have launched the next part of the project -; an interactive map which shows where each of the people who died during the First World War lived. Each soldiers' former home is marked by a poppy on the map, and when clicked displays details about their military action during the war, and their last resting places.
The locations have been compiled from the Islington Book of Remembrance, which commemorates the 13,000 men, women and children of Islington who died as a result of war from the beginning of the Boer War (1899), to the 1950s.
You may have already seen some of the plaques that have been placed on streets across our borough, which commemorate the men who lived in those streets and lost their lives in the First World War.
Here's a piece BBC London did about the plaques –
This project aims to highlight the impact on the communities back home of the loss of so many Islingtonians, and to remember the soldiers' great sacrifice. Communities, families and workplaces were torn apart by the loss of so many and we hope that It will be an invaluable resource for schools and other groups wishing to study the impact of the First World War on their communities.
There are many events and exhibitions taking place as we mark the centenary of the First World War and you can find details of these here, including information about the 'Islington during the First World War' exhibition at Islington Central Library.
I am proud that the people of our borough won't forget the sacrifice of those that fell in the Great War, and the sacrifice of so many others in conflicts that came after.
We will remember them.

Where to Shop and What to Buy in Kai Bae Beach
The choice of what you can buy in shops of Kai Bae beach is somewhat limited, however it is still possible to find interesting things that are difficult to find elsewhere in Thailand, such as t-shirts with the word 'Koh Chang' on it. All shops are close to each other, along the main road. A simple walk through Kai Bae village will lead you to small shops, following one after the other.
Koh Chang shopping scene on each beach, almost the same, so don't expect a large variety of goods, in addition to the usual mix of souvenirs, beachwear, Thai paintings, CD, DVD and sunglasses. Trifling accessories, scarves, sarongs, jewelry, etc. can be purchased from beach vendors in abundance, ooding the local shore.
What to Buy in Kai Bae beach
If all what you dream of going on shopping is to buy local Souvenirs or trinkets, Kai Bae beach you will find a luxury shopping centre. In shops and shops that adorn the side of the main road you will find accessories, jewellery, jewelry, paintings, depicting the life of Buddha and its statues, scarves, wood work, books, beach wear and sunglasses.
And of course don't forget to buy a couple of interesting DVD, which are becoming more and more popular elements of the sale.
Where to Shop in Kai Bae beach
Since the beach is relatively small, the walk from start to finish doesn't take much time, and if along the way all the time to go to numerous shops, cool, air-conditioned shopping becomes a very pleasant pastime. Many shops do not have names, so to find the name of the goods on their own account. At the southern end of the beach are little shops selling all kinds of interesting Souvenirs.
In Kai Bae beach there are also specialty shops, beach wear Speedo and BSC and a lot convenient mini-markets including 7/11 and Tesco Lotus Express offering everything from lotion to protect from the sun to hats Thai style. Some sell a fine collection of new and used paperback books available in different languages.

- engaging in esoteric pursuits
- an esoteric purpose

The opposite of esoteric is exoteric, which means "suitable to be imparted to the public." According to one account, those who were deemed worthy to attend Aristotle's learned discussions were known as his "esoterics," his confidants, while those who merely attended his popular evening lectures were called his "exoterics." Since material that is geared toward a target audience is often not as easily comprehensible to outside observers, esoteric acquired an extended meaning of "difficult to understand." Both esoteric and exoteric started appearing in English in the mid-1600s; esoteric traces back to ancient Greek by way of the Late Latin esotericus. The Greek esōterikos is based on the comparative form of esō, which means "within."

Dad's Miracle Diet
So my dad stopped by this afternoon after returning from his trip to Oregon, and mentioned that although he gained a few pounds while away, they were quickly dropping as he returned to his regular diet. (Basically high protein and low sugar.) He thinks he's found the answer to maintaining ideal weight – a high protein diet.
I mentioned that his high protein diet works because he believes it works. It isn't the protein or the low sugar that's magic, it's HIM that's magic. When we do what we believe will work, we're golden!
Which he proved by adding that mom's also losing weight on HER eating plan, which is basically the exact opposite of his. (Lots of fruit and veggies.) It's working for her because she believed it would (or might).
Knowing this gives us two options: we can either check in on our current beliefs and do what's in alignment with them, OR we can adjust our beliefs to match our current actions – to get the results we want.
For example, if I believed my daily chocolate habit was keeping me from my ideal weight, then I could either give up chocolate OR I could adjust my belief. (Years ago I went with the latter. Chocolate is worth the effort to adjust my belief system – at least it is for ME.)
So are you acting in alignment with your beliefs? Not just on the topic of health, but in all areas of life? It might be a big clue as to where you can tweak things and get immediate results.
Like, if I believed I needed a hot shot resume in order to get the job I've got my eye on, I could either go to work on putting that resume together, OR I could adjust my belief that a great resume is required to get the position.
If I believed I had to give up my habit of independence in order to experience a successful relationship, then I can either change my independent ways, OR I could adopt a belief that independence and a fabulous relationship actually go GREAT together. Right?
I'd love to hear your experiences on this topic so others can benefit from what you've learned and experienced as well!
PS – I gotta congratulate Dad on finding his way to a belief about exercise that I really admire. He studies under some former Mr. America who promotes a 12 minute daily exercise routing to stay in tip top shape. 12 minutes?! Now THAT'S a belief I can get behind! lol

We Finally Have 24/7 Access to the Entire Indianapolis Greenway Network!
As you likely have heard, on July 21, 2015, the Greenways in Indianapolis will be open for full 24 hour use. The executive action taken by Parks Department Director John Williams is the culmination of five years of work by IndyCog and other community groups, and in collaboration with city officials. Since its inception 5 years ago, IndyCog has issued multiple petitions asking for extended access to the Monon and the Greenway system as a whole. Each petition saw incredible numbers in support of 24 hour access, and the latest petition in September of 2014, garnered over 1,900 signatures!
For many years, the original Greenway hours of dusk to dawn would often catch commuters out riding the trails after they were to be closed to riders and pedestrians. In some cases, tickets were issued to trail users after hours. All the while, many other major cities already provided 24 hours access to their trail systems. While the support for 24 hour access was there, it still took. Progress was made through continued advocacy and working with city officials.
In October of 2012, the Indy Parks Board voted to extend the hours of the Monon only to 5 am to 9 pm. With the Monon being the most well known Greenway in Indy, and a popular commute route from the Northside, much of the focus for expanded has been on that trail. But, in May of 2013, Indy Parks again extended the hours for several Greenways, in addition to the Monon, until 2:30 a.m. on the first Friday's during the summer months to enable attendees at various First Friday art events to ride home. In September of 2014, Greenway hours as a whole were extended to 5 am to midnight. This final extension led to the eventual 24 Hour access we will welcome later this month.
One safety note: If you are riding the Greenways in the overnight hours, or anytime in low light or in the dark, it is important to ride within your skills, and be properly equipped. This includes a flashing red light on the back of your bike, and a white light mounted to the front. Reflective clothing is also a good idea. And, always be on the lookout for other trail users. Cyclists won't be the only user group taking of 24 hour access.
Indianapolis has made great strides in bicycle friendliness over the past several years and the city's action on this issue demonstrates a continued commitment to making Indianapolis more bike friendly. Watch IndyCog's Facebook page for information about a celebratory bike ride on July 21. Additionally, please consider joining IndyCog. Members like you are the heart of our organization, and with the support of our members, we will be able to continue our programming and advocacy efforts.
IndyParks Press Release Announcing Change in Access
Proposed Rules Change
The City of Indianapolis Extended Hours of Use for all the Trails in Indianapolis!
As of November 1, 2014, all of the Indy Greenways have had their hours extended from 5am to Midnight!
We are still working with IndyParks and the City of Indianapolis to extend all the trails to 24/7 access. We will keep you abreast on the status of that project.
Extended Hours on the Monon are now permanent!
IndyParks Board just voted unanimously to permanently extend the hours of the Monon from 5am - 9pm! The change goes into effect on November 11th so that IMPD can adjust patrols accordingly. Anyone that has been recently hassled by IMPD for using the trail after dusk may question the need for implementation time (i.e. they're already on the trail) but we are just happy that they are extending the hours.
Thanks to IndyParks board and staff for working with us on this change.
Now let's begin working on 24/7 access in late 2013 or early 2014!
Extension of the Monon Hours, the Saga Continues Part Deux (Updated 10/21/11)!
Update to INDYCOG members, followers, & Monon Petition signatories. In case you aren't following INDYCOG on Facebook or Twitter, you missed the news last night (11/20). At 6:30 PM, that the Indianapolis Parks Board voted unanimously to extend the hours of the Monon Trail! The new hours we be 5AM-9PM and will take effect November 6th, 2011, and will extend to March 13th, 2012 (Daylight Savings Time). That means that you can still be kicked off/ticketed for using the Monon from dusk and to dawn before the start date (11/6/11). Also, this is only for the Monon Trail and not any of the other greenways/multi-use paths or Town Run.
These new hours are a "pilot program" and Indy Parks wants to study how much usage the Monon Trail will get during those extended hours, so get out there and ride. Also, I'm sure they are concerned about safety, so make sure you are safe on the Monon (i.e. ride in groups, be cognoscente of your surroundings, etc.). Indy Parks said they would review the hour change at the end of the test period to decide if the change will remain permanent and/or the hours will work for the trail users. Also, we hope that Indy Parks will begin looking at the other greenways/multi-use paths, as well as Town Run. Please feel free to read the original story that was in our Oct-Nov 2011 Newsletter below.
Also, if you like what INDYCOG is doing, please consider becoming a member of our organization. With the support of our membership we can work to make Indianapolis one of the most bicycle friendly cities in America. But we need you're your help to hire our first paid staff member. Yes, believe it or not, we've been able to accomplish as much as we have with an "all volunteer" staff/board but we can accomplish so much more with a full-time employee. So, please consider donating, becoming a member or both besides we have a great "Members Only Appreciation Party" in January.

INDYCOG, Board President
Original Article from INDYCOG October-November 2011 Newsletter
Before I begin on the status of the Monon hours, I wanted to thank the 1,100 plus people that signed the Monon petition. If any of you have ever worked in the public sector or are familiar with how our elected officials make some of their decisions, you may know that 1,100 signatures can sometimes carry quite a bit of weight. I've had friends that have worked for state representatives or state senators, here in Indiana, that have made decisions based on three calls to their office, no lie. So again, thank you for the time and effort you put in signing, forwarding, pressuring and maybe even arm-twisting your friends and family to sign the petition. We will be sending a mass email to all the signatories, letting them know the status of their labor, because believe it or not, not everyone reads our blog, visits our website, Facebook page, well, you get the point, some people will need us to reach out to them. We need to build as much support as possible for the cycling community if we would like to continue our steady growth.
Now, let's talk about the Monon. We (INDYCOG) began looking at the problem of night-time access, after there were a number of tickets issued to cyclists who's only crime was choosing to ride a bicycle to work; oh, and violating the archaic "Dawn to Dusk" rule on the greenways of Indianapolis. We weren't the first group/people to attempt to change this policy but we hope to be the last. In fact, Connie Szabo-Schmucker, the former executive director of Bicycle Indiana and now the Advocacy Director for BGI (Bicycle Garage Indy), worked with the former Indy Parks administration to have this rule altered with little success. I'm sure CIBA (Central Indiana Bicycle Association) was involved on some level as well, as well as whole host of other individuals that I'm leaving out. The point is, that this has been a thorn in side of many cyclists for years. Currently, we hear that cyclists caught after dark won't be ticketed but we are still asked to leave the trail and sent out on to the roadway that is statically far more dangerous than a car-less trail. According to a study done by Johns Hopkins, 56% of all cycling fatalities occurred at night, which means that the slim chance of being assaulted while riding on the trail looks pretty good compared to being hit by a car. Let's face it, the more people riding the Monon, and any other greenway for that matter, the safer the corridor will be. Urban planners & police call it "Eye's on the Street" and study after study show that the more people utilizing their front porches or using (i.e. walking, playing, cycling) the street, the safer it will become. There are more people to call the police and criminals and police don't mix, so they (criminals) will move on.
You might be asking yourself, "what do other cities do?", and that is exactly what we did. So, instead of thinking about things in a vacuum, which we tend to do here, we called other cities with urban and non-urban trails. Below you will find a chart containing some of our findings. As you will see, most of the cities we contacted, have much more extensive hours of use than Indianapolis. We did pick cities of similar size/Bicycle Friendly Cities ranked by the League of American Bicyclists, so that we could somewhat compare like cities or cities we would like to emulate, in regards to cycling anyways. We asked them about crime on their trails and for the most part, it was a non-issue. Sure there were assaults on occassion, but according to many of the cities we interviewed, there were more on the adjacent streets, sound familiar. Also, we asked the cities about lighting on their trails and while some did have lighting, many didn't and they referred back to their state law requiring cyclists to have lights. Lastly, if Indy Parks is concerned about liability, we found case law that indicated that parks have little liability, when it comes to assaults on park property. With the information gathered from other cities around the country, we feel that Indy Parks has a number of examples that they can pattern new rules for the greenways.
Where We Currently Stand
Last week, manned with ~1,100 signatures and a sport coat, I went to the Indy Parks Board Meeting expecting to get a "yes" vote from the board to extend the hours of the Monon. Indy Parks proposed a pilot program that was developed by the Indianapolis Greenways Development Committee. This pilot program would run from November 6th to March 13th (coincides with Daylight Saving Time) and would extend the hours from 5AM to 7PM. Many of you may already see a problem with this, one because the pilot program doesn't begin until November 6th and it's already dark in the morning; and two, 7PM isn't very late. Indy Parks assured me that they would revisit the hours again, after the pilot program was complete and of course, depending on its' success.
The board meeting was moving along quite well with positive and supportive testimony from IndyParks Greenway Manager Al Ensley and several of the parks board members. Mr. Ensley had a letter of support from IMPD, but unfortunately they couldn't make the meeting because they were out, well policing. This didn't sit well with one of the board members, Dr. Michael R. Twyman, who suggested that they hold off the vote until IMPD could make it to the meeting. He wanted them to discuss their plan for policing the Monon, once the hours are extended. Mr. Ensley pointed out that IMPD will not discuss in public what their strategy would be. That would be like a commander in Afghanstan posting his patrol times and locations on the web (my words, not Mr. Ensley's) but Dr. Twyman were still not comfortable. Needless to say, the board moved to postpone the vote until next month. Which means another month goes by that cyclists and any other user, will be ejected from the trail, if caught using it after dark.
Now, I don't want to demonize anyone in the parks department or on the board, because they are truly concerned about all the stakeholders, from the bicycle riders, to the adjacent landowners, to the general public. I know and respect Stuart Lowry and several of the board members and I'm sure that Dr Twyman is truly concerned about the public's general welfare; all you need to do is look at his CV to determine that fact. But, we (INDYCOG) are frustrated with what we see as misguided concern for the cycling public. As mentioned earlier, statistically we are fare better on the Monon than on the adjacent roadways. We also see a biases when it comes to our chose of transportation. For example, the Dept. of Public Works doesn't shut down the intersection at 38th and Ritter because there is a carjacking or because a particular area has higher than normal crime rate. They leave that up to the risk level of the user and we would ask that Indy Parks do the same.
We (INDYCOG) feel that one of the best ways to get people to understand what cyclists go through on a day to day basis it to get them out on a bike. Besides, sometimes when this happens, people also understand why we choose to ride in the first place. What better way to see the city and I recall, sometime ago, reading an article that stated that one way to turn someone into an urbanist (aka. someone who likes cities) is to get them out on a bike, in their city. With all that said, we would love to take the IndyParks staff and board out on a bicycle ride and let them experience the city as we see it. An attractive, well-connected city, that is fun to navigate on a bicycle but which could use some tweaking here and there. Maybe we could schedule that ride with our membership sometime in the near future.
Again, thanks for supporting INDYCOG in this campaign and please get out there and ride safely. Also, try to get a family member, friend or neighbor out on their bikes, because the more people riding the more likely we will get improvements to our infrastructure and public policy.

Tashi lives with her mother, a tea picker, in a small village that lies in the shadows of the majestic Himalaya mountains. Tashi's mother and the other women work long days on the tea plantation, ever under the watchful eyes of the bad-tempered Overseer. Although Tashi comes along, she is too young to pick tea and instead spends much of the time playing and snoozing in the shade with a group of friendly monkeys that regularly comes down from the mountain.
When her mother becomes gravely sick and cannot work, Tashi despairs that there is no money to pay for a doctor. Determined to earn the money herself, she manages to carry the heavy tea basket to the plantation, only to encounter the angry Overseer who mocks her attempt to pick tea. Even worse, after she retreats to her private spot in the shade, some of the adult monkeys grab the basket and run off with it toward the mountain. Although all seems lost, Tashi learns that small acts of kindness can be reciprocated in unusual and unexpected ways.
This book is absolutely superb. The unique story line captures a number of important themes in economics, including the vulnerability of the working poor and the incidence of child labor in developing countries. Stunning illustrations further add to the richness of
Cloud Tea Monkeys
, making this book as much of a treasure as the tea described within.

SEOUL, South Korea – Large crowds of South Koreans are expected to march in the streets calling for the permanent removal of impeached President Park Geun-hye, extending the historically biggest protest movement in the country to Christmas Eve.
Organizers expect Saturday's demonstration in Seoul to be festive, but there was tension as Park's conservative supporters are planning to gather in nearby streets.
South Korean lawmakers on Dec. 9 voted to impeach Park over a corruption scandal that saw millions protest in past weeks. The Constitutional Court has up to six months to decide whether Park should permanently step down or be reinstated.
Investigators on Saturday are planning to summon Choi Soon-sil, Park's arrested longtime friend who, allegedly with the help of the president, extorted money and favors from big companies and manipulated government affairs.

There's a reason you find fruit infused waters at the spa, and it isn't just for how beautiful and refreshing they look!
According to CBS, 75 percent of Americans may be functioning in a chronic state of dehydration, which is almost unbelievable since 60% of our bodies are composed of water. Since water is such a huge part of who we are (literally), one would like to think it would be a higher concern on our priority list. Fruit-infused water recipes are a delicious alternative to sugar sodas and other drinks. Plus, the natural flavors of these combos are so SPAtacular you'll find yourself delightfully drinking more water without even knowing it! Not to mention they're also packed with other incredible health benefits like detoxifying the body, boosting metabolism, and improving the immune system. We can't want for you to give these a try!

New Building Announced for the Brant County SPCA
Brantford, ON (August 27, 2014) – The Brant County SPCA is pleased to announce that the organization will be moving forward with a build for a new Brant County SPCA shelter.
On August 25, 2014 the City of Brantford council unanimously approved the donation of five acres of land and a minimum of 10% of the total project, to a limit of $600,000, for a new shelter.
The current shelter located at 539 Mohawk Street, Brantford was built in 1969 beside a landfill. Due to the location and age of the building numerous problems have resulted making it more difficult to care for the over 3000 animals that come through their doors annually.
"We are excited to get started on this new project. We are grateful that the City is supporting Animal Welfare in our community." Robin McNaughton, Brant County SPCA Board Chair.
"This is the first step to a new beginning and I am so proud to be part of it. To everyone who helped us reach this milestone, we can't thank you enough." Robin Kuchma, Executive Director, Brant County SPCA.
"The SPCA has been providing animal protection and welfare services to the City of Brantford for over 45 years through highly committed, knowledgeable staff and volunteers. The City is committed to helping to secure a suitable location that will meet the needs of SPCA while positioning the operations to be accessible to the community." Mayor Chris Friel, City of Brantford.

The bathroom is one of the most important parts of the house and offers the residents the luxury of bodily comfort especially in terms of sanitation. However, even with its importance, people don't actually allocate their bathroom budget evenly. Usually, when they find something that they like, they just buy it and decorate the bathroom around that specific item.
But bathrooms are meant to be maximized for effective use. In fact, there are numerous bathroom amenities that were invented in order to make a person's bathroom experience much better. One such innovation is the bathroom vanity unit. Bathroom vanity units can maximize bathroom storage and enhance the appearance of the bathroom. Vanity units are very useful and an ideal addition to every bathroom. However, with vanity units, the number of vanity units available can be overwhelming which makes it hard to choose. You would need one that is useful and beautiful. Here's what you need to look for in vanity units.
- The problem is that most vanity units are not waterproof and people don't actually know that. Vanity unit manufacturers and designers mostly just wrap their vanity units in a foil or sometimes a laminate finish which means that the core of the vanity unit isn't waterproof. Because of this, the appearance of the vanity unit can quickly diminish over time. So before you buy a vanity unit, make sure to ask if it is waterproof first.
- There are online stores that just focus on selling vanity units without paying attention to quality. Because of this, they tend to use cheap materials. Watch out for movable plastic buffers, or a sticky drawer box because chances are they have been made poorly.
- The basin also diminishes over time and can turn yellow quickly if not maintained. However, European vanities make use of ceramic basins that were fired at a much higher temperature as compared to other basins which means they are whiter and less likely to crack. Make sure to ask where the basin was made before buying a vanity unit.
- There are many bathroom vanity designs that you can choose from. However, you should choose one that would complement the overall design of your bathroom. For example, for bathrooms that make use of wooden or earthly colors, compact oak top vanity units are the perfect addition.

Amazon will soon offer same-day delivery
I've recently cut way back on my Amazon purchases after learning about their atrocious working conditions, but if they're paying taxes and now maybe offering same-day delivery, well, that'll be hard to resist.
Put it this way: I won't miss going to H.H. Gregg.
Am I doing it wrong?

Johnston Excellence In Products, Production & Process
Johnston Sweepers has always provided the benchmark level of excellence in all the products we manufacture. The vacuum sweepers we produce today have evolved from over 50 years of field experience; we believe we provide the best performance and durability available whilst offering greatest value on investment. With over $2.3 million invested annually in research and development through design engineering and component selection, we are confident the Johnston brand will remain the benchmark of excellence within the industry into the future.
Excellence In Manufacturing
From steel coming in, to the Sweeper leaving the production line, quality is assured at every stage of the manufacturing process. Johnston sweepers operate three CNC laser cutting machines, two of which were updated in 2011 at the start of the process. With a capability to cut box section and tubular steel and operating 24/7, these lasers can support the peaks and troughs of production and parts demand. Further investment in 2010 in CNC Brake presses and pyramid rollers ensure the components are delivered to the robot welders to a consistently high standard. Although a large percentage of welding is completed by 3 robot welders, traditional welding techniques are still widely employed across our three factories and offer improved flexibility on customer requirements.
In 2009 Johnston installed a state-of-the-art Powder Coating Paint Plant; all the steel components for the sweepers go through this process ensuring the highest level of durability of each component. Components are shot blasted, chemically cleaned, dried and painted in the process. The process quality is measured regularly and tested parts have to pass a 1000 hour scratch and salt test.
Excellence On The Road
Through extensive research and development and the highest level of quality control during the manufacturing process, a new Johnston Sweeper will deliver high quality performance on the road. With a wide range of options available to enable the sweepers to do more than just sweep, including removing weeds, street washing and gully emptying, you can be assured of flexibility as well as performance, reliability and durability of your Johnston sweeper. Combined with a global dealership network to provide a support infrastructure matching the product quality, together with a parts support and back-up for a minimum of 10 years after delivery, the Johnston sweeper will continue to provide excellent service in the field for years to come.

Employment in the 19th Century was only for the middle or lower class: upper classes had enough money to do whatever they wanted without having to work themselves. The classes, in fact, are defined based on the jobs and incomes of the families. Middle class consisted of such careers as industrial and factory managers, highly-skilled experts in new industrial techniques, and college-educated professional people such as engineers, doctors, and lawyers. Many middle class families lived nearly as comfortably as the upper classes. A "lower-middle class" did exist, composed of white-collar workers, clerks, teachers, and governesses -- these people were paid poorly but were motivated by typical middle-class values which (at least in their own minds) drew a distinction between them and the working class.
Lower classes worked at the jobs which, though always necessary and appreciated (or at least, bemoaned if lacking), paid poorly and were usually dangerous. Factory work, physical labor, and "dirty" jobs such as chimney sweep or knacker were considered lower class.
Another institution in the larger cities was the workhouse, which was the 19th Century version of welfare. Destitute people could be forced into the workhouse if they could not pay their bills. The workhouse gave inmates demeaning occupations, like picking oakum, old ropes, apart to make ship caulking or breaking stones to pave roads. The workhouse alternative was for the individual to take jobs as street sweepers who brushed away debris and manure for passersby, or quasi-legal jobs such as sewer tosher, hunting for lost valuables in the city drains.
Here is a great website taken from the 1891 London census, listing every occupation given: http://www.census1891.com/occupations-a.htm - you can browse the alphabetical list to see what occupations would have been available!
In the early part of the century, there were more rural farms, and people worked for themselves. As countries became more urbanized, however, factory jobs became more common. Factories in the 19th Century were dangerous places to work; there were none of the safety considerations in place today, and the long hours (usually 10-12 hour days, even for children) invited mistakes.
Women did not usually work until the latter part of the century, and even then, upper and middle class women did not have careers. Universities actually banned women from pursuing such careers as medical doctor, architect, or banker. A woman who had fallen on hard times might take a job as a nanny, governess, or paid companion. Some lower class jobs available to women would have included agricultural hands, miners, seamstresses, street vendors or shop clerks, piece workers (making manufactured goods at home).
Lower class women most typically went into domestic service as maids, cooks, or housekeepers. Unfortunately, the world's oldest profession was always an option to a woman, and many of the lower classes supplemented their incomes after hours by prostitution.
Compulsory education was not part of the 19th Century culture. Children as young as six years old labored in textile factories, in occupations such as flower girls, or as rag pickers. Hazardous professions like chimney sweeping and mining employed children to fit into the tight spaces of chimneys and caves.
It should be noted that women (and children) made only a fraction of the pay that men did.

Innovations in Online Justice Journeys
The past 10 years the Rechtwijzer platforms have been under a process of constant evolution, adding numerous innovative alterations to the different components of each platform. Our most recent innovations are as follows:
Netherlands Project Rechtwijzer
Rechtwijzer has existed in the Netherlands for over 10 years, and in its current capacity as an ODR platform for the last one and a half years. It is the first Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform to succeed in innovating ODR within complex relation disputes like divorce and landlord-tenant issues, rather than its traditional use in consumer disputes.
Relate UK
Relate has been the biggest provider of relationship support in the United Kingdom for a number of years. They help individuals and couples with various matters. Now Relate is expanding with us, HiiL Rechtwijzer, to introduce the UK public to a platform that will enable people to create their own separation plan, with the guidance of server providers throughout the process.
ACT: Towards living wages in global supply chains
ACT (Action, Collaboration, Transformation): A collaborative process towards living wages for workers in global textile and garment supply chains.
MyLawBC is the Rechtwijzer platform of the Legal Service Society of British Columbia and is based on the Dutch Rechtwijzer platforms, with the addition of guided pathways. These pathways are similar to the Debt pathway in the Netherlands and cover: Separation, divorce & family orders, abuse & family violence, missed mortgage payments and wills & personal planning.
Rechtwijzer: Divorce and separation
The Dutch Legal Aid Board is a founding partner of Rechtwijzer 1.0, the Dutch interactive diagnosis and triage website launched in 2007. Their continued partnership helped to further innovate online dispute resolution support and resulted in Rechtwijzer 2.0.
Rechtwijzer 2.0: Technology that puts justice in your hands
Rechtwijzer 2.0 is an online-based dispute resolution platform that supports people throughout their justice journey.
Programme Generation Tool: Phase 2
At HiiL Innovating Justice we are always looking for new ways to innovate measuring justice tools. At the end of 2014, we initiated a new phase in the development of the Programme Generation Tool (PGT). This is a tool that supports Rule of Law programming in countries around the world. In this new phase, the tool will be further developed to move from a prototype to a functional web application.
Guardians of Justice in Indonesia
The Guardians of Justice (GoJ) programme in Indonesia is an extension of an earlier GoJ project that started in 2013. The programme aims to improve the delivery of justice to people around the world by empowering local civil society organisations to monitor citizen's experiences with the justice system. Armed with this data, these organisations progress to become Guardians of Justice whose aim it is to hold justice delivery organisations accountable and to effectively push for change where it is needed most.
Creative City The Hague
How can the city of The Hague strengthen collaboration between the creative and justice sector? This is the question that the new project 'Creative City the Hague' tries to answer.
Guided pathways: an interactive website for diagnosis, triage and dialogue
This innovation will enhance access to justice in BC and give ordinary British Columbians access to a range of new tools to help them resolve their legal problems.
Legal futures for Singapore
The legal landscape is shaped by all kinds of societal forces. These trends create opportunities for the government, judiciary, legal profession and justice system users. The Ministry of Law of Singapore is looking ahead and asked HiiL to identify the most important driving forces in the legal field.
Legal aid in Europe
HiiL delivered a report to the research institute of the Dutch Ministry of Security and Justice (WODC) comparing legal aid systems in nine countries: France, Germany, Belgium, England & Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Poland, the Netherlands and Finland. The report has been sent to the Dutch parliament on May 20, 2014. It also investigates the minimum requirements for state-financed legal aid under the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) and from case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR).
Innovation and Dutch Notaries
On request of the Dutch Regulatory Body for Notaries (Koninklijke Notariële Beroepsorganisatie, KNB), HiiL explored the possible impact of innovation on the Dutch notary profession. HiiL's report concludes that that trends such as IT platforms and the forming of hybrids between professions are a given. A range of innovations are under way: certainly from outside the profession.
Study on Transitional Justice in Yemen
HiiL is participating in an ambitious study on the Transitional Justice process in Yemen. This study was procured by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Yemen.
Latin America Innovation Challenge
In 2015, the alliance of the World Economic Forum - the Global Agenda Council of Justice, Desarrollando América Latina (DAL), Impacto Quito and the Innovating Justice Accelerator were determined to find innovations that can improve access to justice for Latin Americans by organising the first Latin American Innovating Justice Challenge.
Living Wage Innovation Challenge
Around the world, legal systems, legal professionals and social entrepreneurs are challenged to deliver more justice, to more people, with fewer resources. Innovations arising in the ready-made garment industry are helping global supply chains with the increased pressure to provide stable and fair conditions to workers. We need more innovators who are up to the task and we need to learn how to work with them to strengthen our effectiveness, impact and return on investment.
Justice needs in Mali
In December 2013 HiiL was contracted by the Dutch Embassy in Bamako to conduct a large scale study of the justice needs and satisfaction with the available paths to justice in Mali.
Burenrechter: state-of-the-art resolution for neighbour disputes
Courts do not have to be slow, formalistic and expensive. The Dutch Council of Judiciary (Raad voor de Rechtspraak) wants to show how adjudication can move online, become much more user-friendly and can effectively intervene in legal problems that many people experience. HiiL's lab has been facilitating judges to design a prototype for an innovative website interface called: 'Burenrechter'.
Guardians of Justice: innovative access to justice
The Guardians of Justice (GoJ) programme, aims to improve the delivery of justice to people around the world. It does so through the empowerment of local Civil society organisations (CSOs). They will collect and use data about the justice needs of ordinary people, in their day to day lives, and analyse the paths they follow in order to deal with them. Armed with this data, these organisations progress to become Guardians of Justice whose aim it is to hold justice delivery organisations to account and to effectively push for change where it is needed most.
M-Sheria; Mobile law in Kenya
Kenya has a population of over 40 million, which mostly lives in rural areas. However, the country has less than 5000 lawyers with the majority of those living in the bigger cities. About 46% of Kenyan population lives under the poverty line and cannot afford a lawyer and legal services in case of need or dispute.
ICC's legal-tools: ending impunity for international crimes
With the modern trend of punishing high level officials of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide, national jurisdictions must be put in a better position to investigate and prosecute these crimes within their national court system.
Evaluating local justice facilitators in Nicaragua
HiiL has undertaken an assignment delegated by Organisation of American State (OAS) to perform an Impact Evaluation of a specific paralegal programme in Nicaragua. OAS has been trialing this programme in Central America to provide communities with a better access to justice. These communities do not have proper access to courts, police or similar legal services.
The Microjustice research programme focuses on the most urgent access to justice issues for individuals, such as: identity documents, divorce, child support and inheritance, land and home property, work and payment, neighbour relations, issues with government agents related to government services. What do we know about access to justice that is both affordable for the poor and sustainable without subsidies?
Mediation 2.0
Mediation as a service to be delivered to two parties in a conflict on a voluntary basis is not a viable proposition. There are too many problems at the demand side. New value propositions are needed. Mediation 2.0 is likely to consist a number of services that are integrated in other access to justice mechanisms.
New ways to bring justice to communities and companies in Nigeria
Oil spills, sabotage, kidnapping, stealing oil, governors stealing oil revenues, violent threats turning into civil wars, unemployment, no respect for local communities and little contribution to their development: these are all part of the history of the Niger Delta. But there are positive trends.
Access to justice tools for internally displaced persons
Internally displaced people in Azerbaijan have difficulty accessing justice. Can this be improved through innovative tools and working methods?
Divorce online
An online platform supports the interaction between divorcees. It promotes a cooperative dialogue, addressing both the emotional issues, arrangements for the children, as well as the financial consequences of the divorce. The platform guides them towards resolution. If they cannot agree, the information submitted on the platform enables lawyers and judges to intervene more effectively.
Effective regulation of cross-border activities
Companies and regulators face choices. Companies can take private regulation initiatives, but can also wait to be regulated by national or international government agencies. These regulators have the option to take action, or to leave the initiative to other actors in the rulemaking process. What are the trade-offs here? What guarantees are in place for accountability and transparency?
Out of court: Legal and citizen advice in Poland
HiiL works with Polish NGO INPRIS on providing legal information and advice to Polish citizens.
Investment decision-making in Sub-Saharan Africa
When considering investment in a foreign country, a sufficient level of rule of law is an important condition for safe investment. At the request of a major actor in the business sector in the Netherlands, HiiL recently prepared brief 'quick scans' on the state of rule of law in five countries in Sub-Saharan Africa: South Africa, Zambia, Namibia, Botswana, Tanzania.
Investment decision-making in South America
Rule of law is an important condition when considering investment in a foreign country. HiiL has produced six Quick Scans for South America.
Harmonising private law in Europe: a mission impossible?
The EU has harmonised many rules in the past decades. Private law, governing private and commercial transactions and used most frequently by most people, is not among these areas. What are the reasons for this? This project researched the role of two factors that may influence harmonisation efforts: national culture and the burdens for individuals of having to cope with different legal systems.
Highest national courts in an international world
Highest national courts are increasingly influenced by rules and precedents beyond their countries borders. This has consequences for the way they work.
Making international law work on the ground: constitutional stress for national courts
International organizations, states and NGO's invest heavily in treaties and other rules of international law. National courts are crucial to give effect to these rules. But judges may be hesitant to do this, because of the way they see themselves as guardians of the constitutional separation of powers.
National lower court judges experience difficulties in applying European law
EU law has an important influence on numerous fields of national law. National judges are expected, both by 'Brussels' and nationally, to apply EU law consistently in the cases they deal with. However, this theoretical legal construction does not take into account the practical problems that national judges experience when applying EU law, such as a combination of time constraints and a lack of routine. Additional training of judges could help in solving this matter.
Informal international law-making and accountability
Leaders meet informally on an almost weekly basis. Their decisions affect livelihoods and businesses. Can citizens still hold them accountable?
Effective and fair court hearings
Litigants like to be better informed about what will happen. Judges and lawyers expect a cooperative attitude and much more.
European rules for service contracts
Over 50% of the European GDP is earned in services. But the law regarding services is not well developed. What kind of quality can be expected? Which information should providers of services give to their clients? What are remedies if a service does not lead to the expected outcome? .
Designing a dispute system for Dutch public transport
How could the roadmap for improved coordination and conflict resolution mechanisms in public transport look like?
Code of conduct for handling personal injury claims
Twenty principles, hundreds of good practices and things to avoid; resulting in a victim-friendly process for handling personal injury claims
Measuring costs and quality of access to justice
It is based on research about what people value in a process and on how they evaluate outcomes. The method can be used for court procedures, ADR procedures, legislative processes and for any process in which two or more parties take decisions about conflicts or other issues.
Legal aid: cutting budgets and improving access to justice?
The situation: budget cut on legal aid. The scene: 120 experts working on proposals. The outcome: Dutch Parliament accepts a selection of the most promising measures
Fair business practices
Retailers and suppliers negotiating B2B contracts create value. But sometimes unfair outcomes occur due to power imbalances. How to prevent or remedy these unfair commercial practices in B2B relations?
Convergence and divergence of national legal systems: Coping with the challenges of globalisation
This research project, carried out between 2007 and 2012, analysed the various ways national legal systems cope with the challenges of globalisation.

Pak's ex-finance minister demands trade concessions to India
'Yuan devaluation to hit Indian exports, widen trade deficit'
India's exports plunge again, clouding growth outlook
China turmoil may hurt Indian steel industry: Assocham
Troubles in China may impact Indian steel sector: Assocham
India must remain engaged with Pakistan to the extent that the country develops a "vested" interest in the Indian economy which would then mean heavy economic costs for brazen militant attacks, Assocham said today.
"At times, the instrumentalities of economic costs work quite well. But since the commercial engagement between India and Pakistan have remained so low that there is no option for any such recourse," Assocham President Sunil Kanoria said.
India's total trade with Pakistan in fiscal 2014-15 was less than USD 2.5 billion with balance of trade loaded heavily in favour of New Delhi, the chamber pointed out.
Against exports of USD 1.85 billion, imports from Pakistan were less than USD half a billion, meaning thereby that "Pakistan does not depend on India, either for seeking markets for its exports, nor meeting its crucial requirements of imports. So, there is no possibility of any economic costs which can be inflicted on them in situations like this," Assocham said.
Kanoria said that while the basic principle of building commercial relations cannot be to inflict economic costs on the trading partner at a later stage, "a deep and well-entrenched commercial relation has dissuaded countries from taking extreme steps. To that extent, the economic ties have been used for strategic purposes as well."
While Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nepal remain the top commercial partners for India in South Asia, the total size of the engagement in the region is far less than the desired level, Assocham noted.
"Here too, a vast Indian market has not been really converted into a strategic resource for the partners in south Asia since India's total imports from South Asia are less than USD 3 billion, against exports of USD 20 billion," it said.
India needs to use its vast market for the South Asian partners as a "strategic resource" for them by giving them liberal access and even hand holding them, the chamber said.
The comments come against the backdrop of a terrorist attack at Pathankot air base that claimed lives of seven security personnels.
Political parties such as the Congress has slammed the government's handling of ties with Pakistan in the wake of the Pathankot terror attack which came within days of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Lahore visit.

Commit to Fit | Week 5
Author | Commit to Fit 2013 Winner, Judith Zissman
A dear friend recently recovered from a major surgery that left her unable to walk without enormous pain for several months. In the days afterwards, she posted something to her Facebook page about watching people on MUNI choose the escalator over the stairs, and feeling so grateful that her body could take the stairs again. I was reminded of this "manifesto" I'd seen a few days earlier: "Being Healthy is a Revolutionary Act", and went back to see #54:
"Reframe Exercise as a Privilege: You don't have to exercise. You get to exercise. Visit a person whose mobility is severely limited, and you'll appreciate the distinction. Do what you can, and count yourself lucky."
I thought about this while I was working out this week. A lot. At the same time that I was struggling Wednesday afternoon to do some challenging step-ups with Billy, a childhood friend was having a bilateral mastectomy after a routine mammogram detected cancer in her breast tissue.
My friend made the difficult decision to have this surgery to prolong her life with her children. This, of course, was the same motivation I had for the much easier decision to apply to Commit to Fit, so as I did those step-ups I thought of my friend with each lift, and her bravery. I thought about how lucky I am to be in this relatively healthy body, and how lucky I am to have the chance to work with the best personal trainer at the best gym in San Francisco to become even healthier.
So yes, exercise is a privilege. An enormous privilege. And realizing this has made it more enjoyable. When I struggle with physical effort, I now feel a tremendous sense of accomplishment instead of the tiny whiny voice I used to hear in my head when I exercised. No wonder I never enjoyed exercise before - who wants to listen to someone whine for an hour as you're working hard?
In other news from the past few weeks, I spent some time visiting my family for Passover. It was a wonderful trip, and my son got to see his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and family friends. We held the traditional Passover seder (a short version, since there were five kids under age 4) and ate all of the traditional foods, including my mom's amazing brisket. I managed to watch my portion size, though, and lost another two pounds that week.
I've been doing my weigh-ins with Sarah at MV Nutrition, and enjoying working with her to optimize my food choices. I feel like I've been doing well with portions and calories, but too often reach for a default snack or meal of bread and cheese, because it's easy and delicious. When I was pregnant, I lost the taste for raw vegetables and salads, and that hasn't returned yet, sadly. I love most vegetables, but seem to only like them cooked these days. So now I'm trying to cook up some big batches of veggies to have on hand for snacks and meals.
This week, I roasted cauliflower with whole grain mustard, and brussels sprouts with some amazing lamb bacon. Since I grew up keeping kosher (observing Jewish dietary practices), I don't eat pork, and am happy to enjoy the lamb bacon from Fatted Calf as a substitute. To make about a pound of brussels sprouts, I slice them in half, mince up a few pieces of bacon into tiny bits, toss them all together with a drop of hot sauce and a little bit of something sweet (maple syrup, apple cider syrup, etc.) to caramelize as it all cooks and roast in the oven for a good long while. If you time it just right, the sprouts are crispy on the outside and creamy delicious on the inside. It sounds decadent, but it's really not that rich - your veggie-to-bacon ratio is still pretty good, and there's no extra fat or starch, and hey, #32 on that manifesto is "Savor What You Eat". Try it and let me know what you think.

Miss Pap* (Discount: Layla10 for 10% off)
Jeans: Topshop
Heels: Public Desire*
Bag: Chanel
When it comes to your Autumn wardrobe it is a must to have a chunky knit that you can turn to when it's just too cold for a normal sweater or jumper. I'm so pleased I found this one from Miss Pap as it's got everything I look for when it comes to the perfect jumper. The two things I look for is tight sleeves as I have quite short arms so the tighter the arm the slimmer it makes your arm appear. The second thing I look for is open split sides, I hate a jumper thats too tight around my waist! This jumper has the perfect curved spilt sides which gives a great silhouette front and the from the side.
I teamed it up with some gorgeous over the knee boots from Public Desire boots! They come in a range of colours but there was something different about the navy boots that drew me to them. I love a black boot but at the moment they are so popular its nice to be different and switch it up subtly. The side silhouette on these heels are gorgeous and very similar to the PD Sabine boots I wore in a previous blog post.
For more of a daytime look I wear this jumper with some trainers, it's great if you want to feel cosy and still look great without hiding yourself under a big jumper. I've had so many compliments of this jumper as its such great quality for the price! You can get a 10% discount using my code 'Layla10'!
